THIS DAY<br />
IN HISTORY<br />
Mike Myers - actor, comedian,<br />
comedy writer, was born on this day<br />
at Toronto in 1963. In 1988, Myers<br />
played Saturday Night Live, and was<br />
a regular 1989-1994, developing such<br />
characters as Wayne’s World’s Wayne<br />
Campbell and Sprockets’ Dieter.<br />
His movies include Wayne’s World<br />
(1992), So I Married An Axe Murderer<br />
(1993) and the Austin Powers series.<br />
According to the bios, Myers started<br />
acting out his Wayne character to<br />
girls at parties. He met his wife at a<br />
hockey game, and fell in love with<br />
her when she got hit by a puck;<br />
he has 3 dogs named after hockey<br />
players; he used to take dancing<br />
lessons in Toronto. His character<br />
Linda Richman on SNL, is based<br />
on his mother-in-law.<br />
Budget<br />
unveiled<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
Thanks to some funding from<br />
the provincial government and<br />
a change in the education portion<br />
of the property tax, most<br />
<strong>Watrous</strong> residents should see a<br />
decline in their property taxes.<br />
The good news came as part of<br />
a balanced budget passed by the<br />
town at the <strong>May</strong> 19 council meeting.<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Ed Collins said the<br />
town kept the municipal mill<br />
rate unchanged from last year,<br />
which was 9.0 mills.<br />
However, the town increased<br />
the municipal base tax to $6<strong>25</strong><br />
from $500.14 for an improved<br />
property. That increase allows<br />
the community to begin saving<br />
for the future lodge, which will<br />
be constructed at the current<br />
hospital site. With the hike, an<br />
additional $100,000 will be transferred<br />
to reserves for the project.<br />
The community also saw a <strong>25</strong><br />
per cent increase in the Revenue<br />
Sharing Grant, which is now<br />
called the Municipal Operating<br />
Grant, from the province.<br />
Also changed was the total<br />
taxable assessment for the town;<br />
pending the outcome of the<br />
Board of Revision hearing, it is<br />
at $43.8 million. That increase is<br />
about 12 per cent over 2008 and is<br />
due to new construction activity<br />
and SAMA’s assessment revalua-<br />

Search continues for Carlson<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
Police continue to ask for the public’s help in locating<br />
a missing <strong>Watrous</strong> resident.<br />
The one-year anniversary of James Carlson’s<br />
disappearance was <strong>May</strong> 14. The 44-year-old<br />
<strong>Watrous</strong> man was last seen between 7 and 8 p.m. on<br />
that date in 2008 at a local business in town and has<br />
been reported missing since.<br />
Carlson’s blue pickup was found outside of Allan<br />
<strong>May</strong> 19, while his white 1985 Chevrolet Monte<br />
Carlo with licence plate 709 GAR is still missing.<br />
Since that time there have been various investigations<br />
by the <strong>Watrous</strong> RCMP and Major Crimes<br />
Unit, including two air searches, one shortly after<br />
the disappearance was reported and one in the fall<br />
down. Unfortunately, the pole hit a parked car in the<br />
process.<br />
-TWM photo by Daniel Bushman<br />
from <strong>Watrous</strong> to Regina Beach, west to Hwy. 11.<br />
Underwater recovery team divers were also<br />
sent to check sloughs in the area where Carlson’s<br />
blue pickup was found.<br />
Leads continue to be followed and people interviewed<br />
as the investigation continues.<br />
For the past year, family, friends and Carlson’s<br />
two children have not had contact with him.<br />
James Carlson was born Mar. 14, 1965 and is described<br />
as Caucasian, 5’8”, 180 pounds with brown<br />
hair, brown eyes and a distinguishing feature of<br />
being bow legged. At the time of his disappearance<br />
he was wearing a black short sleeve t-shirt, black<br />
track pants, and black running shoes.<br />

Manitou<br />
Beach to get<br />
cell tower<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
What could be called a workout<br />
for some at Manitou Beach<br />
might not have to be by the end<br />
of 2009. Currently, many cell<br />
phone users who want to make<br />
calls at the bottom of the resort<br />
community’s hill have to run to<br />
the top to get more bars on their<br />
phone.<br />
According to Michelle Englot<br />
with SaskTel, a tower is being<br />
installed on the other side of the<br />
community to help get better reception.<br />
“We acquired land across the<br />
lake but there are still tons of<br />

Fifty Long, Long years ago, one fine and pleasant morn<br />
In a not so distant rural land, a farmer boy was born.<br />
He worked every day out in the field<br />
Hoping and trying to increase the yield.<br />
He built equipment, some Big some Small<br />
waiting for Harvest - Todd loved it All<br />
He used JD tractors as he wanted good plowers<br />
for seeding those crops that had yellow flowers.<br />
Hey Todd Martin, I wancha to know,<br />

Tough track day<br />
<strong>May</strong> 11 to 14<br />
Many students had<br />
windburn, especially in a<br />
race, because of the frigid,<br />
windy day that the WHS<br />
track took place on. Wednesday,<br />
<strong>May</strong> 13 was the<br />
date that WHS had set the<br />
annual track meet, but it<br />
was one of the coldest days<br />
ever. Along with <strong>Watrous</strong>,<br />
Young also came and participated<br />
at track. The aggregate<br />

things to be done.” Englot said there needs to be a full<br />
tower and SaskTel is aiming to have it up and functional<br />
by the end of this year.<br />
She mentioned the range of coverage could vary depending<br />
on the strength of the tower, which the department<br />
tests once it is up.<br />
The tower is part of a goal to have expanded coverage<br />
and increased bandwidth across the province with<br />
digital cellular service to 55 locations, which includes<br />
Manitou Beach, by the end of 2011.<br />
Young is also in the list of 55 to get better coverage but<br />
will not see a tower for a while yet as the timing of that<br />
location along with others will be determined in 2010.<br />
SaskTel is also investing $37.6 million to expand and<br />
improve its existing wireless network, including adding<br />
12 of the 55 new digital cellular sites across Saskatchewan.<br />
They will also be expanding rural broadband with an<br />
investment of $43 million. That includes upgrading the<br />
rural backbone infrastructure, which will then provide<br />
an enhanced transport network to deliver basic high<br />
speed Internet to about 90 of 187 communities that are<br />
set to see the upgrade by the end of 2009.<br />

Town crews added some<br />

Editorial and Opinion<br />
Just Layzing Around<br />
Do we ever have a good problem around here. There is so much<br />
going on in our communities, and so many stories and pictures to<br />
publish, that our pages are stuffed to bursting with it all! Sometimes<br />
we have write-ups that can be held over for another week, but<br />
just as often, we have an article that absolutely has to run or it will<br />
have to be tossed, and I hate having to do that. It seems like not only<br />
a waste of time and effort on behalf of our reporter Daniel, but<br />
also a disservice to the subject of the story.<br />
So in the interest of providing a little extra space and saving an<br />
article from extinction, Just Layzing Around has had her brief say,<br />
and the rest of this column is devoted to a different topic altogether.<br />
See you back here next week!<br />
Program offers way<br />
to donate clothes<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
In some households it can be considered an annual tradition;<br />
whether or not people enjoy spring cleaning is another story altogether.<br />
The Canadian Diabetes Association’s Clothesline Program<br />
will help those who are tackling the chore by taking items such as<br />
clothing off their hands.<br />
Operations manager with the Canadian Diabetes Association<br />
Marlow Dallin said the program will make a stop in <strong>Watrous</strong> <strong>May</strong><br />
28 to pick up donations. “If donors would like a household pick up,<br />
they can call 1-800-505-55<strong>25</strong> and they will reach our office here in Saskatoon<br />
and we can book them in for a pick up.”<br />
Dallin said there is another way for people to donate. “If donors<br />
would like to drop off their used clothing, they can take it to the<br />
Interlake Human Resources centre and they will store the donations<br />
there for us until we can pick them up.”<br />
There are a few different things people can donate, according to<br />
Dallin. “We only pick up clothing, clothing accessories and linens in<br />
<strong>Watrous</strong>.”<br />
Vice president of business operations Kelly Parascandalo said,<br />
“What sets us apart from other recycling programs is the convenience<br />
of donating right at your door, the environmental advantage<br />
of diverting millions of kilograms of clothing and other items from<br />
our landfills and helping the Canadian Diabetes Association find a<br />
cure.”<br />
Each year, Clothesline donations divert more than 42 million kilograms<br />
of clothing and household items from landfills. Those numbers<br />
mean savings of 766 million kWh of energy and reduces donors’<br />
carbon footprint by 105 million kilograms of CO 2<br />
emissions.<br />
Also, 100 per cent of the proceeds from donations are used to support<br />
the association’s mission of promoting the health of Canadians<br />
through diabetes research, education, service and advocacy.<br />
In Canada, there are about 8.5 million people living with or at risk<br />
of diabetes.<br />

Roadside attractions = summer fun<br />
Now that summer is almost<br />
here - well, maybe not according<br />
to the weather but<br />
the calendar says otherwise<br />
- families start thinking about<br />
taking vacations. The end of<br />
June is nearing and school<br />
will be out for two months. It<br />
is time to start planning that<br />
road trip.<br />
Even for those with no<br />
school children, summer road<br />
trips can be a lot of fun. Taking<br />
what is termed a “homecation”<br />
(holidaying at home)<br />
is an opportunity to discover<br />
those hidden secrets close to<br />
home.<br />
Visit the local museum.<br />
It may be hard to believe but<br />
some people can live in a community<br />
for years and not ever<br />
realize what treasures lurk<br />
behind the doors.<br />
Do some research and<br />
maybe you will be able to<br />
unearth a local u-pick farm<br />
or even an artist who does absolutely<br />
beautiful landscapes.<br />
<strong>May</strong>be the local church has<br />
a collection of stained glass<br />
that has a rich historic connection<br />
to the community.<br />
Or if you want to go further<br />
afield, source out what is<br />
in the area. And, as you are<br />
travelling down the road be<br />
sure to check out the roadside<br />
attractions - you know the<br />
large “chochkas” many communities<br />
have stationed outside<br />
the entrance to the town:<br />
the moose standing guard at<br />
Moose Jaw, the giant turtle at<br />
Turtleford, the grasshopper at<br />
Wilkie, the Ukrainian Easter<br />
Egg (Pysanka) at Vegreville,<br />
the dinosaurs at Drumheller,<br />
the starship at Vulcan,<br />
the camel at Glenboro and the<br />
giant Viking at Gimli.<br />
These are nothing compared<br />
to the giant jack-in-the-box<br />
located in Connecticut, the<br />
largest ketchup<br />
bottle in Illinois or<br />
the largest sundial<br />
in Arizona.<br />
The jack-in-thebox<br />
is attached<br />
atop a 33 foot silo,<br />
the head weighs<br />
600 pounds and<br />
extends 50 feet in<br />
the air. The owner,<br />
Bill Ziegler, says<br />
the tourists love it.<br />
Some attractions are<br />
“interactive”. The owner of the<br />
world’s largest ball of twine in<br />
Kansas gives tourists twine so<br />
they can add their own touch<br />
to the structure and thus make<br />
. . . these roadside<br />
attractions . . .<br />
all serve the<br />
same purpose -<br />
a welcome mat<br />
inviting people<br />
to linger . . . and<br />
discover.<br />
it grow some more. The ball<br />
is now 40 feet across, weighs<br />
approximately 19,000 pounds<br />
and contains 7.9 million feet<br />
of twine.<br />
North Dakota is home to<br />
the world’s largest cow - 38<br />
feet tall, 50 feet long and is<br />
made of 12,000 pounds of<br />
fibreglass.<br />
Viewing these structures<br />
as a form of art makes them<br />
all the more interesting.<br />
Often they make a statement<br />
about the area or the local<br />
culture of the community. It<br />
is a way for towns to promote<br />
themselves and give passers<br />
by a brief glimpse into their<br />
lifestyles.<br />
It is possible to make an<br />
entire holiday out of touring,<br />
looking for roadside attractions.<br />
Make a game of it.<br />
Choose your favourite. Choose<br />
the most ridiculous. Choose<br />
the most inventive. But, always<br />
stop and take a picture.<br />
Then venture into the community<br />
to see what other hidden<br />
treasures<br />
may be around.<br />
You might<br />
find a really<br />
great tea and<br />
bakery shop, a<br />
hardware store<br />
that has “everything”<br />
or a park<br />
that speaks to<br />
you.<br />
While some<br />
feel these roadside<br />
attractions are really a<br />
hobby gone out of control,<br />
they all serve the same purpose<br />
- a welcome mat inviting<br />
people to linger . . . and<br />
discover.

How ta look at the news<br />
by Gene Hauta<br />
A man in Houston, Texas, was arrested<br />
on felony charges of practicing law without<br />
a licence. There is no record that the<br />
man was ever admitted to the bar, but he<br />
has been working as an attorney. Perry<br />
Mason (allegedly his real name) is facing<br />
between two to 10 years in jail. The “real”<br />
Perry Mason was a scrupulously clean and<br />
honest TV lawyer, someone people my age<br />
will remember. Della Street would not have<br />
let him get away with it!<br />
A 22-year-old soccer fan in West Bromwich,<br />
England, was run over by another<br />
vehicle after he backed into the washroom<br />
at the back of the bus . . . only to discover<br />
that he had opened the back door. And yes,<br />
alcohol was involved.<br />
Tom Riall, an executive with Serco, a<br />
British speed camera company that has<br />
installed speed cameras at about 4,500 sites<br />
in Britain, was banned from driving for six<br />
months after admitting speeding at more<br />
than 160 km/h on a 112 km/h limit road.<br />
This is not about dumb criminals! For<br />
15 years, police in southern Germany<br />
had tracked a female serial killer whose<br />
DNA had been found at 40 crime scenes,<br />
including six murders. Because there was<br />
no other physical evidence, police, in 2007,<br />
began to consider alternative theories. In<br />
March of this year, the case was solved.<br />
The DNA matched up in the tests because<br />
the cotton swabs used to collect it had been<br />
contaminated at the factory. Authorities<br />
still have not determined which female<br />
factory worker accidentally supplied the<br />
DNA that puzzled police for so long.<br />
Jerome Marquis Blanchett,<br />
19, is one lousy robber.<br />
Already on bail awaiting trial<br />
for four robberies, Blanchett<br />
followed a man into the<br />
restroom at a hotel in Harrisburg,<br />
PA., pulled a gun on<br />
him and fled with $138. The<br />
victim was none other than<br />
a retired police chief, who<br />
pulled his own gun (God bless<br />
the U.S. of A.) and chased<br />
down the robber. He was<br />
joined by other men from the<br />
convention . . . undercover<br />
police officers. Blanchett was<br />
quickly apprehended and the<br />
judge increased his bail to<br />
$1 million.<br />
A small airplane needed<br />
an emergency landing near<br />
Puyallup, Wash., after its engine<br />
failed but landed (even<br />
upside down) on a cushioning<br />
pad of portable toilets<br />
standing in a storage area<br />
was a lucky break. The pilot<br />
walked away unhurt.<br />
Joseph Milano was living<br />
out a peaceful life as owner<br />
of Goomba’s Pizza in Palm<br />
Coast, Fla., even though he was in the<br />
federal witness protection program for<br />
testifying against the Bonanno crime family<br />
members in New York. He apparently<br />
lost his anonymity when he was arrested<br />
for pistol-whipping a customer who had<br />
dared to criticize his calzone making.<br />
In Copley, Ohio, a man became incensed<br />
after being sent home from a restaurant<br />
because he was drunk and annoying<br />
other customers. As soon as he got home,<br />
he piled into his daughter’s car and drove<br />
himself to the police station to demand a<br />
breathalyzer. Erik T. Salmons, 39, promptly<br />
blew 0.12 and was arrested. Salmons was<br />
eventually sentenced to six months in<br />
jail, but all except three days of alcohol<br />
treatment were suspended. He did lose<br />
his licence for six months and was fined<br />
$375.<br />
I am not sure where Sheila Bolar, 49, is<br />
from, but she was arrested after biting a<br />
transit driver because she wanted to ride<br />
only a ‘hybrid’ bus.<br />
Over the past two weeks, as usual, I have<br />
used several items from Chuck Shepherd’s<br />
great work. In what he called a classic,<br />
homeless couple Darryl Washington and<br />
Maria Ramos were injured way back in<br />
1992 when a train ran over them. The pair<br />
were having sex on a mattress on the tracks<br />
at a New York City subway station. Their<br />
injuries were not too serious, but they<br />
filed suit against the Transit Authority<br />
for “carelessness, recklessness and negligence.”<br />
Shepherd did not know how the<br />
case turned out, but the couple’s lawyer<br />
was very aggressive in justifying the filing,<br />
arguing, “Homeless people are allowed to<br />
have sex, too.”<br />
A Good Samaritan was given a parking<br />
ticket after he pulled over to help a heart<br />
attack victim in Germany. Steve Schiltenwolf,<br />
42, pulled over to help a woman who<br />
had collapsed in the street, but as he tried<br />
to help her, he was given a ticket.<br />
Scientists in South America have discovered<br />
a species of ants that is made up<br />
of only females. “Of course,” wrote Jim<br />
Barach, “if there were any males they<br />
would be uncles.”<br />
Inez M. Starks, 55, claims she was bitten<br />
on her buttocks by a police dog in Warren,<br />
Mich. She said the dog injured a nerve so<br />
badly that she can no longer work. She<br />
sued the city and the police dog Liberty.<br />
Macomb County Circuit Court Judge David<br />
Viviano was not amused and fined<br />
Starks $500 for frivolously including the<br />
dog itself in the suit. Her lawyer, Lawrence<br />
Radden, even admitted that he included<br />
Liberty as an ‘attention grabber’. Radden<br />
ended up paying the fine for his client.<br />
Washingtonian Magazine featured a<br />
shirtless picture of the new American<br />
president on the cover. “Yet another reason,”<br />
wrote Janice Hough, “to be glad<br />
democrats didn’t nominate Hillary Clinton.”<br />
Brazilian kayaker Pedro Oliva set a<br />
record paddling over Salto Belo Falls. He<br />
dropped two hundred feet<br />
and surfaced after two<br />
minutes underwater. Argus<br />
Hamilton quipped, “It<br />
set a record for the longest<br />
anyone has gone without<br />
seeing President Obama<br />
on TV.”<br />
In Russia, the Magnitogorsk<br />
Iron and Steel Works<br />
offered 1,000 plots of land<br />
close to the country’s biggest<br />
steel plant. The workers<br />
will be encouraged to<br />
grow potatoes to help them<br />
feed their families as the<br />
economic crisis worsens<br />
and unemployment rises.<br />
Albert Vincent Perkins<br />
was charged with robbing<br />
the First Federal Bank in<br />
Kansas City. The identification<br />
of the robber was<br />
easy after he left his wallet<br />
behind. The teller and<br />
a customer in the bank<br />
quickly identified the photo<br />
on the driver’s licence<br />
and another photo in the<br />
wallet as the robber.<br />
Robbers in Greece lifted a<br />
prefabricated home off its foundation and<br />
took it away. The owner went to visit his<br />
70-square-metre holiday home and there<br />
it was, gone. Police have been unable to<br />
locate the building.<br />
Sex offender Barry Whaley was being<br />
questioned at a police station in Fairbanks,<br />
Alaska, because police suspected he had<br />
failed to register his new address. He made<br />
things much worse when he asked an officer<br />
to retrieve a laptop computer from<br />
his car so that it would not get stolen. An<br />
officer complied, and Whaley could not<br />
help bragging about the “amazing” flight<br />
simulator program he had been using. As<br />
Whaley powered up the computer to show<br />
the officer, a video of child pornography<br />
appeared and Whaley was arrested.<br />
In Surrey, B.C., a couple argued as they<br />
watched the news. The husband eventually<br />
slapped his wife and she retaliated by<br />
smashing a jar over his head. Explained an<br />
RCMP spokesperson, “The violence on the<br />
news was disconcerting to the woman.”<br />
Spanish police have arrested a Chilean<br />
man who was wearing a leg cast made of<br />
cocaine. “He tipped off authorities when<br />
someone complained their ticket cost an<br />
arm and a leg,” observed Jim Barach, “and<br />
he said he could buy the plane with just his<br />
leg.”<br />
Until next time . . . keep reading between<br />
the lines . . .<br />

Letter to the editor<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
I was sorely disappointed<br />
to see the lack of coverage<br />
for The Relay for Life<br />
event that took place in<br />
Imperial, Sask. <strong>May</strong> 8 to 9.<br />
This was a huge event that<br />
a small community and a<br />
dedicated bunch of volunteers<br />
undertook, for a very<br />
charitable cause, the cure<br />
for cancer! Fortunately<br />
Gaylene Parry, the Imperial<br />
news correspondent did<br />
submit information about<br />
this fantastic event.<br />
This event raised over<br />
$33,000 for the Canadian<br />
Cancer Society. The volunteers<br />
have been working<br />
on this project since January<br />
2009. There were 120<br />
plus registered walkers,<br />
plus numerous others who<br />
showed up to support the<br />
walkers in their 12 hour,<br />
night time vigil. The walkers<br />
came from the communities<br />
of Saskatoon,<br />
Regina, <strong>Watrous</strong>, Simpson,<br />
Imperial, Nokomis and<br />
Drake to name a few. The<br />
1 3/4 cup flour<br />
1 tsp. cinnamon<br />
1/2 tsp. cloves<br />
1/2 cup shortening<br />
1 cup applesauce<br />
1 cup raisins<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
1/2 tsp. nutmeg<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1 tsp. baking soda<br />
1 cup rolled oats<br />
communities of <strong>Watrous</strong>,<br />
Simpson and Imperial were<br />
generous in their donations<br />
of sponsorships and<br />
items for door prizes for the<br />
walkers.<br />
This event was amazing.<br />
The evening began at 7<br />
p.m. with the survivors of<br />
cancer walking with their<br />
bright yellow T-shirt on and<br />
as they finished their lap,<br />
they released bright yellow<br />
balloons with messages of<br />
hope. The caregivers of<br />
cancer patients walked the<br />
next lap and then everyone<br />
was walking. Each team<br />
was required to have at<br />
least one member walking<br />
at all times.<br />
There was entertainment:<br />
a band, dancers and singers.<br />
There was a scavenger<br />
hunt, crocodile wrestling,<br />
pajama walk, penny relay,<br />
team relay songs were made<br />
and team designed and<br />
modeled T-shirts. There<br />
were quizzes about cancer,<br />
a display tent set up by the<br />
Cancer Society offering information<br />
about cancer and<br />
a liaison person from the<br />
Canadian Cancer Society<br />
came and spent the night<br />
with us to help make sure<br />
the event went smoothly.<br />
There were over 1,400 luminaries<br />
that were lit at 9<br />
p.m. that guided the walkers<br />
throughout the night.<br />
We were fortunate to have<br />
a calm, although cold, clear<br />
night and a beautiful full<br />
moon, under which to walk.<br />
There was fellowship and<br />
food and fun. There were<br />
many tears shed as people<br />
remembered the victims of<br />
cancer and the survivors.<br />
The motto for Relay for Life<br />
is Celebrate, Remember,<br />
Fight Back. I sincerely hope<br />
that the <strong>Watrous</strong> Manitou<br />
will remember to join us<br />
next year, to help us celebrate<br />
this event and fight<br />
back against this vicious<br />
disease, that I would bet,<br />
has affected everyone in<br />
some way.<br />

Hitting her stride: from <strong>Watrous</strong> to Worcester<br />
Keeping your eye<br />
on the puck<br />
Forward Jocelyn Kratchmer (pictured behind) had a successful<br />
year for the Holy Cross Crusaders. Kratchmer set<br />
a school record for most powerplay goals in a single season.<br />
-Photo submitted<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
Two seasons is all it took for a local hockey player to<br />
make a name for herself halfway across the continent.<br />
Jocelyn Kratchmer from <strong>Watrous</strong> not only has been<br />
playing for the Holy Cross Crusaders but also has broken<br />
a school record and won a ton of games in the process.<br />
In Kratchmer’s first year at the college located in<br />
Worcester, Massachusetts she played in 27 games and<br />
notched 10 goals and 13 assists.<br />
This year, though, has been a different story as the<br />
sophomore stepped up her game with 23 goals, 23 assists<br />
and 46 points in 27 games. Those stats ranked her second<br />
on her team for the year.<br />
“I wasn’t very pleased with my performance from my<br />
first season, so I trained hard over the summer so I could<br />
play better. I feel much better with the outcome of my<br />
second year.”<br />
In fact, the <strong>Watrous</strong> product turned it up a notch and<br />
was recognized as most valuable player to her team, honoured<br />
on first team all ECAC East, and selected for the<br />
ECAC open all-tournament.<br />
“It was awesome to receive those awards. I was excited<br />
when I heard about them; it felt great to have the league<br />
recognize my accomplishments on the ice. I did not expect<br />
them because there are many good players on our team<br />
and in the league.”<br />
Kratchmer also set a school record for most power play<br />
goals in a regular season: nine. “I did not have any intentions<br />
of breaking any school records. I am just glad I could<br />
help my team out with netting a few power play goals!”<br />
The forward who sports number nine on her jersey<br />
said there were a few highlights from last year.<br />
“My favourite moment so far at Holy Cross has been<br />
this past season when we played Manhattanville in Rye,<br />
New York. We had a come-from-behind win - we fought<br />
back from 2-0 to tie the game, then go into overtime. A<br />
minute and a half into overtime, I scored the winning<br />
goal - it was an incredible moment.<br />
“Another highlight has been my entire second season.<br />
We only lost two games the whole year. This past season<br />
has been the best season Holy Cross women’s hockey has<br />
ever had.<br />
“It has been awesome to play with the girls. We have<br />
players from all over, which gives us an enormous amount<br />
of depth, talent and skill from all over the U.S. and Canada.”<br />
Kratchmer was recruited by Crusaders head coach<br />
Peter Van Buskirk who saw her play with the Saskatoon<br />
Comets at a tournament in Notre Dame. In her Gr. 12 year,<br />
he saw her again in Lumsden with the Prairie Ice, which<br />
is also where Jocelyn’s roommate at Holy Cross, Emily<br />
Henry is from.<br />
Kratchmer attributes some of her success to her minor<br />
hockey days in <strong>Watrous</strong>. “I believe it has. I have seen<br />
girls who played girls hockey their whole lives versus<br />
girls who have played with guys for part of their hockey<br />
career. Based on my observations, the girls playing with<br />
boys seemed to have made it further with their hockey<br />
careers. I think playing guys hockey teaches you to play<br />
smarter and to also keep your head up, move the puck fast<br />
and think quick.”<br />
Kratchmer also noticed a bit of a difference when it<br />
comes to playing in the east. “The East has a much more<br />
laid-back style of hockey. Hockey I was used to back west<br />
was much more aggressive then what I have been playing<br />
in for the last two years.”<br />
A hectic routine is also part of the schedule for the<br />
Holy Cross student who recently switched her major from<br />
Biology to Environmental Studies, which is closer to agricultural-type<br />
studies.<br />
“A typical week for me consists of practicing four times<br />
a week, playing games twice on the weekends, sometimes<br />
an additional one during the week, and weight-lifting<br />
twice a week, and somehow fit school in there. It can be a<br />
lot to handle at times.”<br />
As for what is in store for next season, Kratchmer said<br />
she is still undecided if she wants to return or “continue<br />
my education and further my hockey career at the University<br />
of Saskatchewan.”<br />
She mentioned playing hockey in Europe is also not<br />
out of the question but that would be something after her<br />
college career.<br />
Kratchmer is busy preparing in the off season and<br />
staying in game shape by playing hockey on a summer<br />
team in Regina. She is also working before potentially<br />
making the trek back to Holy Cross.<br />
“It has been a great experience so far.”<br />
Local teacher<br />
receives HCAA<br />
recognition<br />
award<br />
The Horizon Central<br />
Athletic Association, at<br />
its April 29 spring meeting,<br />
presented HCAA Recognition<br />
Awards to eight<br />
deserving individuals who<br />
have made significant contributions<br />
to athletics programs<br />
and the student-athletes<br />
within the HCAA.<br />
In the southwest quadrant,<br />
Barry Croshaw of<br />
Winston High School in<br />
<strong>Watrous</strong> was one of two<br />
recipients. As a coach,<br />
Croshaw has done an excellent<br />
job of not only building<br />
a football program over the<br />
years, but also expanding<br />
it to become an integral<br />
part of the school and the<br />
athletes’ schooling.<br />
What is most impressive<br />
is the manner in which<br />
Barry focuses on the student<br />
athlete’s role within<br />
the academics of the<br />
school. The players recognize<br />
that ability alone does<br />
not guarantee a position<br />
on the team. School academics,<br />
SRC involvement,<br />
volunteerism, and a commitment<br />
to conditioning<br />
required for football are<br />
all seen as equals. Over the<br />
years, Barry has continued<br />
to build upon these ideas,<br />
and because of it the team<br />
players have recognized<br />
that a tradition of excellence<br />
does not just involve<br />
a win/loss record.<br />
Croshaw is able to involve<br />
those from the school<br />
staff, the community, and<br />
the parents as he continues<br />
to challenge the boys to develop<br />
themselves not only<br />
physically but academically.<br />
Other 2008-2009 Horizon<br />
Central Athletic Association<br />
Recognition Award recipients<br />
were: Ray Krienke<br />
(Kelvington High School),<br />
Wanda Krentz (Three<br />
Lakes School, Middle<br />
Lake), Greg Pelletier (Raymore<br />
School), Jay Fitzsimmons<br />
(Ituna School; son of<br />
Al and Penny Fitzsimmons<br />
formerly of <strong>Watrous</strong>), Ray<br />
Emde (St. Brieux School),<br />
Edie Conly (Lanigan Central<br />
High School) and Bob<br />
Popowych (Foam Lake<br />

Sports as seen by Gene<br />

Eric and Jordan Staal are in a place where only the Espositos,<br />
the Plagers and the McCrearys have gone before.<br />
This is only the fifth time in NHL history that siblings<br />
have skated against each other in conference finals. The<br />
last time a brother act such as this occurred was in 1974<br />
when Phil Esposito’s Bruins faced Tony’s Blackhawks.<br />
One of the best two-way centres in the league, Jordan<br />
has been shadowing his older brother. Eric did concede<br />
victory to the younger Jordan in one key area. “His playoff<br />
beard is better than mine, mine is pretty bad,” Eric<br />
admitted. “But he was a grown man at age 12 and I didn’t<br />
hit puberty until age 20.”<br />
Parents Henry and Linda Staal do not like watching<br />
their boys go head-to-head, and elected to stay in Thunder<br />
Bay and watch on television. The boys had agreed<br />
not to communicate during the series, but Eric got into<br />
trouble between games one and two in Pittsburgh. He<br />
went out for supper and a movie and couldn’t get a cab<br />
back to the hotel, and ended up phoning his brother to<br />
come and give them a ride.<br />
Ted Wyman liked the description he read of Sidney<br />
Crosby: “the league’s most talented grinder.” He has really<br />
changed his game and gone to the lip of the crease to<br />
bang in 12 goals in the first two series. “Even when faced<br />
with a head-to-head match-up against the league’s most<br />
talented and exciting player - Ovechkin - Crosby more<br />

than held his own, despite not being nearly as flashy, and<br />
eventually his team prevailed. He was the playoff MVP<br />
through two rounds.<br />
Wyman continued, “While Crosby looks like he’ll be a<br />
force for Canada at the Olympics next year, the goaltending<br />
situation is a bit more of a concern.” Most people<br />
would have included Roberto Luongo and Martin Brodeur,<br />
who did not have good playoffs. Wyman said none<br />
of those two or Steve Mason looked like a goalie, who<br />
would lead his country to a gold medal. I agree 100 per<br />
cent that there is serious concern. Wyman is also deadon<br />
in pegging Cam Ward as the Canadian goaltender having<br />
the best playoff, although Thursday’s performance<br />
as I wrote this would leave a guy gasping in despair.<br />
Dwight Perry says if you want to attend a ball game<br />
at Yankee Stadium, you might need a loan. Gary Cicio,<br />
a New York podiatrist, offered up these two scenarios to<br />
see a Mariners-Yankees game in prime seats this season.<br />
“Option 1: Two tickets to Tuesday night, June 30, Mariners<br />
at Yanks, cost for just the tickets, $5,000. Option 2:<br />

per cent of the 2009 crop. That number is<br />
up from the previous week’s 23 per cent,<br />
according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s<br />
weekly crop report.<br />
The five-year average is also up to 61<br />
per cent complete at this time.<br />
Overall, for the week ending <strong>May</strong> 18,<br />
83 per cent of peas have been put into the<br />
ground, 73 per cent of lentils, 55 per cent<br />
durum, 50 per cent of wheat and 37 per<br />
cent of canola.<br />

The following are prices for <strong>May</strong> 21, 2009. Prices accurate<br />
at time of printing and subject to change without notice.<br />
Regionally, in the southern region 66<br />
per cent is in, southwestern has 52 per<br />
cent seeded, southeastern is at 37 per cent,<br />
west central is 62 per cent, east central in<br />
at <strong>25</strong> per cent, northeastern 55 per cent<br />

Topsoil moisture conditions across the<br />
province are in as 71 per cent adequate on<br />
crop land and 66 per cent adequate on hay<br />
and pasture land. There were reports, however,<br />

Digging into mining week<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
With potash mines located<br />
near Allan, Colonsay<br />
and Lanigan, BHP Billiton<br />
looking at setting up northeast<br />
of Lanigan, and mining<br />
employees scattered<br />
throughout the <strong>Watrous</strong><br />
Manitou’s readership area,<br />
this week is one that many<br />
in that industry take pride<br />
in.<br />
<strong>May</strong> <strong>25</strong> kicks off mining<br />
week in the province and<br />
during the week there will<br />
be various activities held<br />
in centres like Saskatoon,<br />
Regina and Prince Albert<br />
to mark the week.<br />
According to Natural<br />
Resources Canada, the<br />
province finds itself at<br />
the top of the list as the<br />
nation’s leading mineral<br />
producer with 21.5 per cent<br />
of Canada’s mineral output<br />
for 2008. Also in 2008,<br />
potash was the top-ranked<br />
commodity in the country<br />
totalling 18.6 per cent of<br />
total Canadian mineral<br />
production with a value<br />
worth $8.2 billion.<br />
Mining companies in<br />
the province have also been<br />
at the top of their class for<br />
potash and uranium and<br />
the increase in the price<br />
of potash has propelled<br />
Saskatchewan to number<br />
one in Canada in terms of<br />
value of mineral output.<br />
Stewart Brown, general<br />
manager at PCS Allan division<br />
and Saskatchewan<br />
Mining Association representative<br />
said the week<br />
is an “opportunity as an<br />
industry to promote mining<br />
in Saskatchewan. The<br />
focus has been on careers<br />
in mining industry.”<br />
The sector boasts a large<br />
workforce, providing direct<br />
and indirect employment<br />
for about <strong>25</strong>,000 people.<br />
However, Brown said<br />
“one of the biggest challenges<br />
is probably people.”<br />
Many of the current employees<br />
are slated to retire<br />
in the next few years,<br />
which also coincides with<br />
the industry growing by<br />
leaps and bounds. According<br />
to the SMA, an estimated<br />
80,000 people will be<br />
needed within the next 10<br />
years.<br />
“People with us have<br />
been here for a long time<br />
so training is a priority for<br />
us. Infrastructure is also a<br />
challenge,” as mines are 35<br />
to 40 years old.<br />
Expansion at the mines<br />
in Allan, Colonsay and<br />
Lanigan have either begun,<br />
ended or are planned as the<br />
industry grows.<br />
“There is a strong move<br />
for expansion despite slow<br />
sales. It will have a significant<br />
impact for employment.”<br />
Brown said at both Potash<br />
Corp. Allan and PCS<br />
Lanigan, there will be hundreds<br />
of direct jobs while<br />
at the Cory mine, over 800<br />
people are in construction<br />
jobs.<br />
The Mosaic mine near<br />
Colonsay is to see a larger<br />
number of jobs throughout<br />
and after expansion plans<br />
as Brad DeLorey with the<br />
company said their expansion<br />
is on target. Another<br />
Mosaic expansion has<br />
been completed, this one<br />
in Esterhazy.<br />
While those mines see<br />
numbers rise, BHP also has<br />
employees in the <strong>Watrous</strong><br />
area and high hopes for a<br />
potential mine near Jansen.<br />
In the Mar. 2 edition<br />
of the <strong>Watrous</strong> Manitou,<br />
manager of environment<br />
and community for BHP<br />
Serge Pelletier said they<br />
had been busy working<br />
on three major projects:<br />
Jansen, which includes the<br />
Jansen Lake area; Boulder,<br />
which encompasses <strong>Watrous</strong><br />
and moves southeast;<br />
and Young, towards the<br />
western portion of Manitou<br />
Lake.<br />
While the seismic testing<br />
is finished, an office is<br />
established in Saskatoon<br />
that houses about 15 people.<br />
Pelletier said they will<br />
resume work about mid-<br />
June and will go to the<br />
Young project and drill<br />
around 13 holes, which<br />
should take them right up<br />
to October or November.<br />
He said the Boulder project<br />
will also see about seven<br />
holes drilled around the<br />
middle of June, and those<br />
should be completed in<br />
the summer season. “After<br />
that all the exploration is<br />
complete.”<br />
At the Jansen project,<br />
Pelletier said they are<br />
“moving forward with a<br />
pre-feasibility study” and<br />
have met with lots of community<br />
members.<br />
It is no wonder people in<br />
this area keep a close eye<br />
on mining. It has helped establish<br />
and keep the population<br />
strong, and despite<br />
an economic downturn<br />
the industry continues to<br />
move right along.<br />

Local artists and the community of <strong>Watrous</strong> and area<br />
once again were treated to an outstanding art display.<br />
More than <strong>25</strong>0 people viewed the show <strong>May</strong> 7 to 10 at the<br />
civic centre. Laureen Marchand and Kevin Quinlan, both<br />

to note that Kevin Quinlan was the artist-in-residence<br />
in <strong>Watrous</strong> in 1999. Twenty-seven artists participated in<br />
the show working in oils, acrylics, watercolours, pencil,<br />
India ink, clay, stone art and photography.<br />
On display were several quilted pieces highlighting<br />
intricate designs, colour and stitching. Those presenting<br />
the quilted items were Alison West and Gertrude Barnes<br />
from <strong>Watrous</strong> and Elaine Muzichuk from Manitou<br />
Beach. Also on display was a lighthouse quilt donated<br />
to the arts council by Gertrude Barnes. Tickets are currently<br />
being sold on the quilt.<br />

Adjudicators Marchand and Quinlan commented that<br />
one could easily put together an adjudicated show from<br />
the high quality of work on display at the civic centre.<br />
At the Thursday afternoon artist’s group session, each<br />
piece of work was critiqued and discussed. The artists<br />
were treated to a four-hour instructional critique. The<br />
adjudicators noted they could have chosen another six<br />
to nine top entries.<br />
The winners of the show who may now compete in<br />
the provincial OSAC show were: first - Sharon Dunbar,<br />
second - Frank Wilson and third - Toni Ambrose.<br />
A reception for artists, family, friends and the public<br />
was held Thursday evening at the civic centre. Following<br />
a short program, guests could view the creative works<br />
on display. An array of refreshments and goodies were<br />
available to enjoy.<br />

New in Town - Rene Zellweger stars in this fish out of<br />
water story. A young executive heads to the great white<br />
north of Minnesota to check on one of their production<br />
plants. Of course she falls for the rustic community and<br />
its people after the usual comedic mishaps and also falls<br />
for the local single/divorcee/widower hunk (Harry Connick<br />
Jr.). Light, entertaining, funny and predictable. If<br />
you appreciated Sweet Home Alabama or Miss Congeniality,<br />
this one is another harmless chick flick just for<br />
you. (PG)<br />
Outlander - Surprisingly entertaining hybrid of<br />
Braveheart and Highlander with a big monster thrown<br />
into the mix. Jim Caviezil (Passion of Christ) stars as a<br />
space traveller who is on earth in the Viking/Robin Hood<br />
era on the hunt for a huge predatoresque monster that<br />
is eating the locals. Of course he gets captured by the<br />
locals who think he is a demon himself and then bands<br />
with them to fight the big bad. Much, much better than<br />
expected, you will be surprised. (14A)<br />
What Doesn’t Kill You - Effective, very well acted<br />
thriller about a couple of career criminals (Ethan Hawke<br />
and Mark Ruffalo in a great performance) who after a<br />
heist gone wrong go their separate ways. Circumstances<br />
pull them back together with shocking and harrowing<br />
results. Ruffalo is amazing. He is always good but I think<br />
if anyone had seen this movie he would have been in the<br />
running for awards this last season. Good movie. (14A)<br />
and junior art from Winston High School is on display at<br />
the <strong>Watrous</strong> Library during the month of <strong>May</strong>.<br />
The 2009 art show was ranked as being highly successful<br />
and enjoyed by the artists and the viewers, the<br />
friends of the arts. This is a compliment to the strong<br />
arts community in <strong>Watrous</strong>, Manitou Beach and area.<br />

Viscount<br />

Sympathy from the<br />
community is extended to<br />
Irene Rink and family on<br />
the recent sudden passing<br />
of Ervin Rink.<br />
The St. Alphonse<br />
Knights of Columbus<br />
Council #6529, Viscount<br />
and Father Sinnett Council<br />
#6068, Lanigan held the<br />
2008 Knights of Columbus<br />
Lottery of Choice over the<br />
spring, summer and fall<br />
of 2008. The winners were<br />
drawn last October and<br />
they are: first prize Marlin<br />
Kulchyski, Lanigan,<br />
second prize Brian Black,<br />
Choiceland and third prize<br />
Colden Lukey, Chetwynd,<br />
B.C. The Knights spend<br />
many volunteer hours<br />
The Allan Elks held a fundraiser Apr.<br />
18 for Elmer Rathje who is going to Montreal<br />
for eye surgery.<br />
The evening began with a sold out<br />
steak supper. Following supper, Elmer<br />
spoke saying he was overwhelmed and<br />
could hardly find words to express the<br />
feelings he had at that moment.<br />
He said he was used to being on the<br />
side lines, organizing and making sure<br />
everything is in place whenever fundraisers<br />
are held, but he was on the receiving<br />
end of one of those fundraisers. He never<br />
realized the full extent of the heavy burdens<br />
that is lifted from one’s shoulders,<br />
not only financially but also emotionally.<br />
The support one receives allows one to<br />
focus completely on making arrangements<br />
for surgery, in his case, at the University<br />
Hospital in Montreal mid to late<br />
summer of this year.<br />
He also stated although he could not<br />
physically see anyone at the moment, he<br />
was storing the images of their faces and<br />
voices in the back of his mind and hopefully<br />
after the surgery he will be able to<br />
look everyone in their eyes and take their<br />
hand or give them a hug and thank them<br />
personally.<br />
Rathje was asked to explain the surgery<br />
procedure. He explained it involves<br />
an artificial cornea made of three parts<br />

Allan Elks hold fundraiser<br />
approximately seven millimetres in<br />
diameter. The first part is an artificial gel<br />
bubble placed on an artificial plate with<br />
a skirt of spongy white polymer, which<br />
allows the cornea cells to grow into the<br />
skirt forming a permanent bond.<br />
This procedure will be done on the<br />
right eye by ophthalmologist Dr. Mona<br />
Harissi Dagher who became the first specialist<br />
in Canada to perform this procedure.<br />
This day surgery will take about 2 1/2<br />
hours. Later that day he will return to the<br />
hotel and return to the hospital the next<br />
day to have the eye patch removed and be<br />
examined by Dr. Dagher. He will be examined<br />
by Dagher for three to four days after<br />
surgery and if there are no complications<br />
will be able to return home with weekly<br />
visits to his ophthalmologist Dr. James<br />
Underhill at the Medical Arts Building in<br />
Saskatoon. A follow up visit to Montreal<br />
will take place with Dr. Dagher in two to<br />
three months to examine the progress of<br />
the surgery, with other scheduled visits at<br />
a later date.<br />
The rest of the evening consisted of a<br />
casino night, silent auction and dance.<br />
The Allan Elks have set up a trust fund<br />
in Elmer’s name at the Allan TD Bank for<br />
those who would like to contribute to this<br />
fundraiser.<br />

News is rather scarce<br />
for this week. Charlie and I<br />
were gone for five days visiting<br />
a granddaughter and<br />
her family in Whitecourt,<br />
Alta. this past weekend.<br />
Actually, it was our little<br />
18-month-old great granddaughter<br />
that was the<br />
main attraction. There was<br />
snow in Whitecort Monday<br />
and in Edmonton Tuesday.<br />
Here at home it seemed<br />
it was warm enough for a<br />
few brave souls to dip into<br />
the lake, but the first long<br />
weekend seems to have generally<br />
been a disappointment.<br />
The rec board had<br />
a fair turn out for the first<br />
summer pancake breakfast<br />
Monday, <strong>May</strong> 18. <strong>May</strong> 20,<br />
interested citizens turned<br />
out for the unveiling of the<br />
medical clinic plaque.<br />
Since I have not had<br />
much time this week I will<br />
include some information<br />
I looked up last week<br />
following the visit of two<br />
members of Wellington<br />
White’s family from Massachusetts.<br />
From an Internet article<br />
I gleaned the following<br />
information: Wellington<br />
White was born in Erie,<br />
Pa. to Irish brick maker<br />
immigrants in 1867. The<br />
father continued this trade<br />
in Erie, eventually moving<br />
to Ontario where the<br />
family operated their own<br />
brickyard. After both parents<br />
passed away, Wellington<br />
took the CPR to Prince<br />
Albert in 1893 where he<br />
developed his own brick<br />
plant. While in P.A. he<br />
helped round up some<br />
rampaging Indians from<br />
the Swampy Cree of the<br />
One Arrow Reserve and<br />
was hailed as a hero. When<br />
the battle was over and the<br />
civilian militia was marching<br />
home an astonishingly<br />
beautiful woman beckoned<br />
and he jumped into her<br />
wagon. Shortly after he<br />
married this tall, beautiful,<br />
vivacious 18-year-old,<br />
Olive Brooks.<br />
When it became obvious<br />
that the railroads in<br />
Saskatchewan were being<br />
built through southern<br />
areas, they moved to Moose<br />
Jaw. Wellington, and “Ollie”<br />
were ambitious and<br />
soon became well to-do<br />
and were considered the<br />
most glamorous couple in<br />
Moose Jaw. The good clay<br />
banks in the rolling hilly<br />
country around Moose<br />
Jaw were excellent for<br />
brick making and they<br />
became quite wealthy. In<br />
1902 Wellington built a fine<br />
brick house on a hill overlooking<br />
the Moose Jaw<br />
river valley. Six years later,<br />
the house was demolished<br />
to make room for a larger,<br />
more elegant brick home<br />
where the couple raised<br />
four children. The house<br />
still stands. Though some<br />
structural changes have<br />
been made over the years,<br />
the solid oak floors, staircase,<br />
woodwork and doors,<br />
as well as two fireplaces<br />
and the boiler system are<br />
original. The walls, built<br />
law and aunt Evelyn Garner.<br />
Congratulations to Dalton<br />
and Renee Marciniuk<br />
of La Ronge on the birth of<br />
Cody Peter <strong>May</strong> 15. Proud<br />
grandmother is Margaret<br />
Breckner, proud grandparents<br />
Ollie and Marilyn Marciniuk<br />
of Hafford and great<br />
grandmothers Meta Machdanz<br />
of Saskatoon and Sophie<br />
Marciniuk of Hafford.<br />
Sympathy to the family<br />
of the late Elva Greschuk<br />
of Elstow who passed away<br />
<strong>May</strong> 18.<br />
Alice Yurkowski of Carrot<br />
River spent a few days<br />
with her daughter Michelle<br />
and Dwaine Halvorson and<br />
boys.<br />
family in Saskatoon for a family brunch,<br />
then we toured several greenhouses in the<br />
afternoon. What a great day!<br />
Recently visiting Blaine and Verla<br />
Bentley was Blaine’s mother Mary Bentley<br />
of Middle Lake. She also visited in<br />
town with Pat Cone and got to see her cat.<br />
Recently visiting Ken and I was our<br />
daughter Rosanne Mattson of Lloydminster<br />
who was working in Regina for a day<br />
and was on her way to a Ricki’s store in<br />
Prince Albert, as she is area manager for<br />
the company.<br />
Plunkett folks send their deepest sympathy<br />
to the Habermehl family of <strong>Watrous</strong><br />
on the recent passing of Kay (Cliff) Habermehl<br />
of <strong>Watrous</strong>.<br />
Mother’s Day, Dennis and Leona Credgeur<br />
met their daughter Tanis in Regina<br />
and went out for brunch.<br />
Get well to anyone ill and in the hospital.<br />
Anyone having any news, please phone<br />
me at 944-4852. It is greatly appreciated.<br />
with the best the brick<br />
yard had to offer are triple<br />
brick on the main floor and<br />
double on the second. This<br />
house was built to last 100<br />
years and is not going anywhere<br />
for another century.<br />
In the spring of 1915<br />
the Brick Company closed<br />
its doors. The remaining<br />
bricks were spirited away<br />
by the citizens of Moose<br />
Jaw for their own use. Wellington<br />
White turned to<br />
farming and other lucrative<br />
enterprises. In 1934 White<br />
was killed in an automobile<br />
accident and in 1939 Ollie<br />
sold the “White” house to<br />
the Methodist church for a<br />
Bible College that closed in<br />
1995. It changed hands several<br />
times after that until<br />
in 2003 it was restored/<br />
renovated to functions as<br />
a bed and breakfast. Today<br />
it is still a wonderful B &<br />
B known as the Wakamow<br />
Heights Bed & Breakfast<br />
Inn.<br />
From our own history<br />
book Prairie Reflections,<br />
we know that two<br />
of the many development<br />
projects that Wellington<br />
White helped develop and<br />
finance between 1915 and<br />
his death in 1934 were in<br />
Manitou Beach, namely<br />
White’s Pool and Danceland.<br />
In fact, as a widow,<br />
Olive White, sold the house<br />
in Moose Jaw and devoted<br />
much of her time to her interests<br />
in Manitou Beach<br />
until 1948. Many old-timers<br />
will remember her affectionately<br />
as “Ma White”.

THE WATROUS MANITOU MONDAY, MAY <strong>25</strong>, 2009 • 13<br />
Student swaps<br />
English for French<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
Bonjour and au revoir were said more commonly over<br />
the past three months for one Winston High School student.<br />
Eric Schalm who is in Gr. 11 recently arrived back<br />
from Quebec as part of an exchange student program.<br />
Schalm left Jan. 31 for a community of 8,000 people<br />
called Plessisville, about an hour south of Montreal, and<br />
arrived back in <strong>Watrous</strong> Apr. <strong>25</strong>.<br />
“It was good. Definitely recommend it,” he said.<br />
Schalm said he signed up for the exchange program<br />
after talking with his French teacher. Once the application<br />
went through he “got matched up right away. They<br />
send you your exchange partner’s info and I got his email<br />
address and chatted.”<br />
Marc Oliver Gingras then embarked on a journey of<br />
his own to <strong>Watrous</strong> from September to December and<br />
was home in Quebec for Christmas.<br />
Schalm said his counterpart did not have too much<br />
trouble adjusting to an English-speaking community.<br />
“He didn’t change too much of his English.”<br />
After Christmas, Eric then went East for his portion<br />
of the program.<br />
According to Schalm, when it came to the language<br />
barrier, “It was really tough.” He said he can usually get<br />
a good translation through reading various things but<br />
when it came to talking there were times when it just did<br />
not make sense.<br />
Schalm said one of the best parts of the trip came<br />
right away in his second week. Along with an exchange<br />
student from Regina and two German exchange students,<br />
he met up with some Manitoba students who were also<br />
there and they toured Quebec and Montreal for a week.<br />
He said old Quebec was a neat experience. The place<br />
is surrounded by a wall and he saw a “sports car driving<br />
down the cobble streets.”<br />
As for the schooling, Schalm said their grade system<br />
is different with secondary one through five instead of<br />
Gr. 7 through 12. So they are finished one year sooner, but<br />
take two years of pre-university instead of being able to<br />
go directly into post-secondary.<br />
Eric said the classes ran through a nine-day cycle<br />
with four each day lasting an hour and a quarter.<br />
And while Schalm took French pretty much every<br />
day, he said he was not in any English classes.<br />
Another big change aside from the culture was the<br />
school, which had 1,500 students. “Otherwise it was<br />
about the same as here. The town was bigger but they<br />
Bonjour!<br />
Winston High School student and <strong>Watrous</strong> resident Eric<br />
Schalm recently arrived back to the community after taking<br />

Schalm took up residence in Plessisville after Christmas.<br />

had a small town mentality.”<br />
Eric said one of the reasons he signed up for the program<br />
was because he “wanted to improve French. I am<br />
thinking about joining the RCMP when I graduate so<br />
that would be an asset to have.”<br />
Schalm is not the only one from <strong>Watrous</strong> to do this<br />
program. In fact, he is not the only Schalm to participate<br />
as older brother Peter also did the exchange.<br />
Having Peter go first also helped Eric get to know the<br />
director in charge and see how things ran.<br />
However, leaving for three months also came with a<br />
little work when he got back. Schalm is busy with numerous<br />
classes here at home as he catches up with the rest<br />
of the class before he says au revoir to Gr. 11 at the end<br />
of June.<br />

KNOW WHAT TO<br />
DO TO FIGHT THE<br />
H1N1 FLU VIRUS<br />
The H1N1 flu virus (human swine flu) is a<br />
respiratory illness that causes symptoms<br />
similar to those of the seasonal flu (fever<br />
and cough, runny nose, sore throat, body<br />
aches, fatigue and lack of appetite).<br />
All strains of flu can be dangerous; however,<br />
good infection prevention measures can<br />
help protect you and others if this virus<br />
begins to spread rapidly in Canada.<br />
Wash your hands often and<br />
thoroughly—for at least 20 seconds—<br />
in warm, soapy water or use hand<br />
sanitizer.<br />
Cough and sneeze in your sleeve,<br />
not your hand.<br />
Keep common surfaces and items<br />
clean and disinfected.<br />
Stay home if you’re sick, and call<br />
your health care provider if your<br />
symptoms get worse.<br />
KNOWLEDGE IS<br />
YOUR BEST DEFENCE<br />

GARNER,<br />
Evelyn Elizabeth<br />
(nee: Harris)<br />
Evelyn Garner, aged 91 years, passed away peacefully<br />
in Saskatoon on Tuesday, <strong>May</strong> 19, 2009.<br />
Evelyn, the only child of William and Bessie Harris<br />
was born in Saskatoon on September 28, 1917. She grew<br />
up on the family farm southwest of Colonsay and took<br />
her schooling at Colonsay School. On April 10, 1940 she<br />
married Wilfrid Garner and together they farmed west<br />
of Colonsay for 60 years. Wilfrid and Evelyn had many<br />
enjoyable evenings with their friends at Danceland. She<br />
was an active member of the United Church choir for<br />
many years.<br />
Evelyn is survived by brother-in-law Leslie (June)<br />
Garner, sister-in-law Betty Garner of Kelowna, nieces and nephews of the Garner<br />
family, cousins from the Harris and Urquhart families. She was favourite “cousin” to<br />
Marlene (Max) Fiolleau and godmother to Carrie Martel.<br />
She was predeceased by husband Wilfrid in 2000 and parents William in 1968 and<br />
Bessie in 1980.<br />
Funeral service was held at the chapel of the Saskatoon Funeral Home on <strong>May</strong> 22.<br />
Interment took place at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.<br />
Memorial donations directed to Colonsay United Church Memorial Fund would be<br />
appreciated.<br />
Saskatoon Funeral Home was in care of arrangements. Email condolences can be<br />

HABERMEHL,<br />
Catherine (Kay) Mary<br />
Catherine Habermehl, aged 88 years, passed away<br />
at <strong>Watrous</strong> Union Hospital on Tuesday, <strong>May</strong> 12, 2009.<br />
Catherine Mary Zoney, also known as “mom, grandma,<br />
auntie, sister, friend, neighbour and simply Kay”,<br />
was born on the family’s homestead farm on November<br />
26, 1920. She was the seventh child of pioneer, Hungarian<br />
immigrants (Ignatious Zoney and Kathleen Toth) who<br />
homesteaded six miles northeast of Young, Sask. Her<br />
childhood years were spent in rural Saskatchewan, receiving<br />
an education through Gr. 10 in country schools.<br />
At an early age, she entered the workforce as a domestic<br />
helper, working for a number of farmers and employers<br />
in Saskatoon and Regina; one of those being Levi Habermehl, the father of her future<br />
husband Cliff. During these years as a domestic helper she perfected her skills as a<br />
chef; becoming known for her cooking and baking abilities. At the outset of WWII,<br />
she followed Cliff to Regina where he joined the Canadian Armed Forces. They were<br />
married in St. Mary’s parish by an armed forces chaplain on October 16, 1941; having<br />
a three-day honeymoon before Cliff was transferred to Saskatoon. Kay followed<br />
him to Saskatoon and subsequently to other postings in Hamilton, Ont., Camp Borden,<br />
Ont. and St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. In 1943, Cliff was issued “compassionate<br />
leave” to take off the harvest and subsequently an honourary discharge. Again Kay<br />
followed Cliff to the farm, beginning a 50 year devotion to farming. They raised three<br />
daughters (Carolyn, Janice and Donna) and three sons (Ken, Norm and Brad) while<br />
farming and supplementing the farm income by raising chickens, milking cows and<br />
selling eggs, cream and gardening - all the while encouraging her children to pursue<br />
their education to the best of their abilities. Through these years, accompanying Cliff<br />
to Danceland at Manitou Beach was a Saturday night must. The big band music, a fox<br />
trot or two, socializing with friends and listening to Sentimental Journey or Beyond<br />
the Sunset rounded out an enjoyable evening. In 1983, after 40 years of living on the<br />
farm, Cliff and Kay moved off the farm and resided in <strong>Watrous</strong>. Without the day-today<br />
farm work to attend to, Kay returned to school in her ‘60s, became certified to<br />
provide home care services and provided care to residents of <strong>Watrous</strong> for a few years.<br />
Kay was a loyal member of St. Ann’s Catholic congregation, an active member of the<br />
CWL serving as president for two terms and receiving her 50 year membership pin.<br />
With her love of gardening and flowers, she joined the <strong>Watrous</strong> Horticultural Society<br />
and served as treasurer. She was also a member of the Arts and Crafts Club and<br />
woman’s auxiliary to the Canadian Legion. Kay excelled as a seamstress. She loved<br />
quilting, crocheting, knitting; activities that resulted in many bedspreads and afghans<br />
that were gifts to relatives, kids and grandchildren. She enjoyed playing cards, beating<br />
Cliff in many cribbage games and was a true competitor in a game of “hand and foot<br />
canasta”. In her spare time she was an avid reader and loved to travel with Cliff.<br />
Kay is survived by her children: daughters Carolyn (Bob) Bartel of Quesnel, B.C.,<br />
Janice Dobson of Regina and sons Kenneth (Pat) of Macrorie, Norman (Monique) of<br />
South Dakota, Brad (Lorna) of <strong>Watrous</strong>; son-in-law Art Bourgeault (Kathy) of Texas;<br />
and 16 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren; sister Ruth (Wendelin) Hulm of<br />
<strong>Watrous</strong> and brother James (Elsie) <strong>May</strong>nard of Plunkett.<br />
She was predeceased by husband Cliff in 2002; daughter Donna Bourgeault in 1996;<br />
father Ignatious in 1922; mother Kathleen in 1984 and brothers Nicholas, Louis, Joseph<br />
and sisters Julia and Yolanda.<br />
Vigil of prayer was held <strong>May</strong> 15 at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church.<br />
The Mass of the Christian Burial was held at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church<br />
on <strong>May</strong> 16 conducted by Father Ray Senger with prayers by Father Emmanuel Banahene.<br />
Honour guard was St. Ann’s CWL. Kay’s grandsons were pallbearers. Cynthia Kulrich<br />
and Irene Muir were register attendants. Ushers were Sid Kulrich and John Beattie.<br />
Organist was Bonnie Ullyott with Norman Duerr as soloist.<br />
Interment followed at <strong>Watrous</strong> Cemetery.<br />
Memorial donations directed to St. Ann’s Parish or Jubilee Court would be appreciated.<br />

arrangements.<br />

KARMARK,<br />
Johannes (John)<br />
Johannes Karmark,<br />
aged 75 years, of Watson,<br />
Sask. passed away at<br />
Humboldt District Hospital<br />
on Friday, <strong>May</strong> 8, 2009.<br />
John was born on<br />
February 17, 1934 to Laurits<br />
and Petra (nee Neilson)<br />
in Hobro, Denmark. After<br />
attaining his elementary<br />
education, he enrolled in<br />
a machining course at a<br />
trade school. John also served in the Danish Navy for 18<br />
months. In 1957, he immigrated to Canada and worked<br />
as a roofer in Calgary, Alta. Eventually, John made his<br />
way to Saskatchewan where he worked at Thode Hereford<br />
Ranch in the Dundurn area. On June 24, 1961,<br />
John married Doreen Watt in Sylvan Lake, Alta. The<br />
couple made their home in Dundurn until April 1967<br />
when they moved to Lorlie, Sask. where John worked<br />
for Jack Stilborn. In 1971, John and Doreen began<br />
farming on their own. In 1976, they moved to Saskatoon<br />
where John worked with his brothers Henry and<br />
George at Karmark Auto Parts. A year later, John and<br />
Doreen relocated to Simpson, Sask. Another move was<br />
made in 1981 to Delisle where they farmed for 19 years.<br />
In 2000, they retired to Asquith, Sask., where they<br />
lived for four years before moving to Humboldt. Two<br />
years later, a final move was made to Watson. John’s<br />
favourite pastime was building airplane motors from<br />
scratch, with every piece being carefully handcrafted.<br />
He enjoyed having coffee with his buddies twice a day<br />
at local coffee shops. His grandchildren loved going<br />
for coffee with grandpa John because that meant they<br />
would get ice cream. John loved to wheel and deal with<br />
anyone for anything. His neighbours always enjoyed<br />
lending their equipment to him because John would<br />
bring it back in better shape then when he received it.<br />
For a number of years, he served on the Co-op board<br />
in Delisle and was a member of the Royal Canadian<br />
Legion branches in Asquith and Humboldt. His love<br />
of travel took him many places; the trips home to<br />
Denmark, British Columbia, Inuvik, Prince Edward<br />
Island and the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. More<br />
than anything, he loved spending time with his wife,<br />
children and grandchildren.<br />
John will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed<br />
by his wife of 48 years, Doreen (nee Watt) Karmark<br />
of Watson, Sask.; two sons, four daughters and their<br />
families: Kevin (Anna) Karmark of Wadena, Sask. and<br />
daughters Merrissa and Tamara; Kelly (Darrell) Stein<br />
of Simpson, Sask. and family, Craig (fiancée Carly),<br />

(Darrell) Christie of Inuvik, N.W.T. and family, Kaitlyn<br />
and Jackson; two sisters and one brother: Inger (Karl)<br />
Jensen and Ellen Kvist, both of Denmark and Henry<br />
(Donna) Karmark of Saskatoon, Sask.; sister-in-law<br />
Dagny Karmark of Saskatoon, Sask. and by numerous<br />
nieces and nephews in Denmark and Canada.<br />
He was predeceased by his parents Laurits and<br />
Petra (nee Neilson) Karmark; two brothers Laurits<br />
and George Karmark; one sister Karen (Ulrich) Uhlmann<br />
and by brother-in-law John Kvist.<br />
Funeral service was held at Delisle Town Hall,<br />
Delisle, Sask. on <strong>May</strong> 13 conducted by Rev. Al Hingley.<br />
Interment followed at Delisle Cemetery.<br />
Memorial donations directed to the Canadian Cancer<br />
Society would be appreciated.<br />

2006:<br />
Our family chain is broken<br />
and nothing seems the<br />
same.<br />
But as God calls us one by<br />
one<br />
The chain will link again.<br />

And we’ll be together again.<br />

If roses grow in Heaven Lord<br />
Please pick a bunch for me.<br />
Place them in my Mother’s<br />
arms<br />
and tell her they’re from me.<br />
Tell her I love her and miss<br />
her,<br />
and when she turns to smile,<br />
Place a kiss upon her cheek<br />
and hold her for a while.<br />
Because remembering her<br />
is easy,<br />
I do it every day,<br />
But there is an ache within<br />
my heart<br />
That will never go away.<br />
- Love and forever missed,<br />
Angie.<br />

20 • MONDAY, MAY <strong>25</strong>, 2009 THE WATROUS MANITOU<br />
Plaque commemorates health clinic<br />
By Daniel Bushman<br />
TWM<br />
A little piece of history<br />
was unveiled last week at<br />
Manitou Beach. The Manitou<br />
Beach Communities<br />
in Bloom commemorated<br />
the Manitou Lake Health<br />
Clinic on a plaque, which<br />
will be erected as part of<br />
the community’s walking<br />
trail.<br />
The monument itself<br />
will be put northeast of<br />
the Horizon Store, close to<br />
the sidewalk by the water<br />
where the clinic was once<br />
located, at the foot of the<br />
From front: BUDGET<br />
“Y” corner.<br />
The health centre was<br />
developed by <strong>Watrous</strong><br />
physicians Reginald Stipe<br />
and Ernest Hixon when<br />
they created their first<br />
medical clinic at the beach<br />
dating back to 1933. The<br />
partnership continued<br />
until Dr. Hixon’s death in<br />
1945.<br />
Before that partnership,<br />
Stipe enlisted in 1916 when<br />
he went overseas and was<br />
attached to the British<br />
Medical Corps in England.<br />
Stipe was also elected to<br />
the first community council<br />
and served two terms<br />
and later became a member<br />
of the legislative assembly.<br />
The facility where he<br />
worked was two storeys<br />
and built in 1929 for making<br />
medicine products.<br />
In 1931-‘32, it housed 150<br />
relief workers who were<br />
busy building the Provincial<br />
Chalet.<br />
The clinic advertised<br />
soft water showers, massage<br />
rooms, electric treatments,<br />
ultraviolet treatments,<br />
electro-therapy and<br />
electro-hot packs.<br />
tion done through the province. All told,<br />
the Town of <strong>Watrous</strong>’ total projected revenue<br />
for 2009 is $2,647,900.<br />
With some extra money coming to<br />
the town, council will be using that to do<br />
various activities within the community.<br />
The budget has $100,000 alotted for road<br />
repairs on 3rd St. W. and 4th St. E. Resurfacing<br />
options for 3rd St. W. are under<br />
review. Paving is also being done on the<br />
south side of the civic centre, which<br />
began last week.<br />
There will be $120,000 used for servicing<br />
and developing eight lots on Midway<br />
Street running north from 4th Ave. E. in<br />
the industrial area.<br />
The arena will see some work done<br />
on it. Design and engineering work for<br />
bleacher replacement is underway to determine<br />
the scope of the project and also<br />
the cost. There will also be some repair<br />
work done on the player’s boxes.<br />
Preliminary engineering for a water<br />
treatment plant upgrade was also performed<br />
to enable completion of a Building<br />
Canada Fund grant application for<br />
work in the future. Expenditures for all<br />
these activities and more, plus debt servicing<br />
and transfer to reserves comes to<br />
$2,531,700.<br />
At first glance the expenditures and<br />
revenue numbers do not add up, but Collins<br />
mentioned a loan that the town previously<br />
took out was put into revenue. After<br />
that is paid off, the budget will balance.<br />
As for the education portion of property<br />
taxes, they have seen a dramatic drop<br />
this year, which, in effect, is why most<br />
residents will notice a decrease in taxes.<br />
School mill rates for residential property<br />
will be at 10.08 mills and 12.<strong>25</strong> mills for<br />
most commercial property. That is down<br />
from 23.5 in 2008 and 21.5 in 2007.<br />
Collins said the only residents who may<br />
not see a decrease to their taxes would be<br />
those who were just reassessed.<br />
Notices informing residents of their<br />
property taxes will be mailed shortly.<br />
Despite a fire to that<br />
building in 1943, Stipe<br />
continued his practice in<br />
Whitmore’s Meuretania<br />
Hotel, located at the main<br />
beach. Stipe went into part<br />
time retirement, working<br />
just in the summer time<br />
until 1955, when he officially<br />
called it quits. The<br />
graduate of the University<br />
of Toronto and Trinity<br />
University passed away at<br />
the age of 90.<br />
At the unveiling <strong>May</strong><br />
20 were Gus and Gertie<br />
Uhmann, who were instrumental<br />
in getting the ball<br />
rolling for the plaque. Gus<br />
who worked with Dr. Stipe<br />
at the clinic was Saskatchewan’s<br />
first registered<br />
physiotherapist.<br />
Uhmann took over the<br />
clinic in 1947 and renovated<br />
the Whitmore Hotel.<br />
With help from local<br />
Manitou Beach resident<br />
Sue Alcock, the 90-year-old<br />
was also honoured at the<br />
unveiling. He received a<br />
certificate of congratulations<br />
from the Saskatchewan<br />
college of physicians<br />
along with a congratulatory<br />
letter from the college<br />
in Manitoba, which also<br />
coincided with his 70th<br />
wedding anniversary.<br />
The health clinic plaque<br />
is one of a number planned<br />
for Manitou Beach.<br />
The suspense is lifted<br />
Communities in Bloom at Manitou Beach unveiled a<br />
plaque commemorating the Manitou Lake Health Clinic<br />
and Dr. Reginald Stipe. Helping with the event were Gus<br />
and Gertie Uhmann and Verna Painchaud (right). Gus<br />
worked alongside Stipe at the clinic and was honoured<br />
as the first registered physiotherapist in the province.<br />
