Region’s budget includes Manitou Lodge 

By Daniel Bushman 

TWM 

Despite cost reduction initiatives and a deficit of $12 million, 

the future of the long-term care facility that is to be built in 

Watrous will continue ahead as planned as the Saskatoon Health 

Region approved its budget. 

Interim vice president of finance and administration Anne 

Neufeld confirmed to the Watrous Manitou that the long-term

Pipeline could be built as mine plans advance 


TWM 

Activity continues to move 

ahead for a global company interested 

in building a mine in 

the Jansen area northeast of 

Watrous and if it does get the 

green light, BHP Billiton will 

not be the only one with a rather 

large project on its hands. 

If the mine does in fact get 

built, SaskWater could be installing 

a $100 million water pipeline 

linking the mine directly to 

Zelma reservoir. 

SaskWater acting vice 

president of operation and engineering 

Jeff Mander said right 

now they are looking at feasibility 

and environmental studies 

and would only move forward if 

BHP decides to build the mine. 

The line would run underground 

from the reservoir east to 

the mine’s location, although at 

this point the “route is not finalized.” 

Once confirmed, it would 

go through private land and 

Mander said, “We will be working 

with the land owners.” 

The line, expected to run about 

90 kilometres, would initially 

pump 3.5 million cubic metres 

of water to the mine and then 

at some point double production 

to seven million. Because 

of that, modifications may have 

to be done at the body of water 

and the pump station would have 

to be re-built. The station would 

provide the flows and SaskWater 

would have to add a booster station 

part way down the line to 

help get the water to its destination. 

The project would take about 

a year to complete and would 

involve crews digging about 

two and a half metres into the 

ground in order to install the 

pipeline below the frost line. 

If the operation does move 

care facility will receive funding from the health region. “It is one 

of our major capital projects.” 

Neufeld said the region is excited about the facility to be built 

in Watrous. “It will really be advantageous to consolidate services 

under one roof.” 

The Saskatoon Regional Health Authority approved its operating 

forward, Mander said it would 

involve the staff at the Watrous 

facility to operate the system. 

That could also mean the potential 

for more jobs, although Mander 

said they would assess that 

avenue when it gets closer. 

If the green light is given by 

BHP, then the crown corporation 

would work towards a higher 

level of designs and route selections. 

“It is an excellent project for 

us. We already supply five of the 

10 existing mines . . . This is definitely 

a huge project.” 

Meanwhile, as for the mining 

operations it appears to be all 

systems go as BHP Billiton continues 

to make strides towards 

opening the Jansen mine while 

evaluating other projects nearby. 

A release from the global company 

looking at potash in the 

east-central part of the province 

states the Jansen project, located 

northeast of Drake and west of 

Jansen, is close to wrapping up 

its pre-feasibility study. BHP 

anticipates moving to the feasibility 

aspect in the second half 

of this year and the project is 

expected to produce saleable potash 

in 2015. 

BHP reported mineral resources 

of 3,370 million tonnes at 

25.4 per cent potassium oxide at 

Jansen. That amount is exactly 

what sits in the ground today but 

could change down the road. 

An eventual full production 

capacity of approximately eight 

million metric tonnes of saleable 

potash per year is being planned 

for Jansen. The conventional 

long room and pillar method that 

has been used by BHP in various 

locations around the globe will 

be used to mine in the potashbearing 

zone.

From front page: BUDGET REPERCUSSIONS 

budget of $912.4 million 

last week, which included 

cost reduction targets and 

strategic investments. 

However, that also 

meant the region found 

itself with a $25.4 million 

shortfall. That is a result 

of a $12 million deficit from 

2009-‘10 and a $10 million 

efficiency target from the 

Ministry of Health, which 

the region is expected to 

attain through operational 

efficiencies, shared services 

and reduction in sick 

time and overtime. 

The region is also looking 

to reduce operating 

costs by an extra $3.4 million 

to self-fund investments 

in areas such as 

quality, safety, population 

health and technology. 

To come up with that 

$25.4 million, targeted cost 

reduction initiatives of 

$15.2 million, attendance 

management (sick time/ 

overtime reduction) of $3.6 

million, shared services of 

$1.7 million, and general 

efficiencies of $4.9 million 

will all be implemented. 

As for Watrous, and 

what the budget means to 

residents and workers, the 

region stated, “We are continuing 

with projects that 

were approved and funded 

prior to this fiscal year. This 

includes Humboldt District 

Health Complex, RUH ICU 

renovations, Calder Centre 

renovation and Manitou 

Lodge replacement. This 

year we have received zero 

new capital funding. However, 

we will look to other 

sources to fund capital investments 

including voice 

recognition, electronic 

health record and medication 

charts.” 

Changes are also being 

planned and some significant 

and minor service 

ones will be taking place. 

For example: in acute care, 

a 28-bed transitional care 

unit will close as Oliver 

Lodge opens, and 5,500 

acute care patient days 

will be lessened through 

reduced admission and/or 

length of stay. 

For community services, 

home care, mental health 

and public health will be 

redesigned; the ambulance 

service will be examined; 

grants to third parties 

will be decreased, and the 

international travel clinic 

will be redesigned. 

In support areas, the region 

would like to align services 

to changes in acute 

and community; eliminate 

internal audit function 

(completed); extend computer 

life cycles from five 

years to seven, and automate 

accounts payable. 

Neufeld said no cuts are 

targeted at the moment 

for Watrous although 40 

out-of-scope positions have 

been eliminated within the 

region and in-scope staffing 

changes are under discussion 

with the unions. 

The region said it knows 

that roles some individuals 

provide today will 

either change or no longer 

be needed. However, that 

does not necessarily mean 

people losing employment 

with the region. 

SHR will be looking at 

changing some staffing 

models where job classifications 

have put people 

under the same title with 

the same pay even though 

they are doing very different 

work. Other positions 

may see hours reduced as 

services are readjusted. 

Over 77 per cent of the costs 

in the budget are for staffing 

and Neufeld said they 

would like to work with 

staff and have a healthy 

workforce. She also said 

they would like to do more 

community consultations 

in the rural areas as the 

year progresses.

Editorial and Opinion 

Just Layzing Around 

This week’s column is a 

commercial break from my 

regularly-scheduled programming, 

as I did not see Debra 

for a life-coaching session last 

week. In the midst of a week 

full of appointments, family 

commitments and life’s typical 

sundry details, I felt a little overwhelmed. 

However, we are back 

on this week so check next Monday 

for the latest installment! 

As for this week’s column, I 

cannot hold back my opinion another 

minute. Many of you may 

have heard of a recently-discovered 

problem related to multiple 

sclerosis known as Chronic 

Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency 

- or its more user-friendly 

initialism, CCSVI. Brought to 

light in Canada by a CBC program in November 2009, the condition 

was discovered by Italian researcher Dr. Paolo Zamboni who claims 

that narrowing of the blood vessels in the neck, chest and spine 

may lead to multiple sclerosis’ symptoms, perhaps even causing the 

disease. (The full explanation of his theory may be found online if 

you are interested in all the medical details.) 

As you may well imagine, people with MS, their families and 

caregivers erupted with excitement over the discovery and, in 

particular, the treatment, which essentially consists of angioplasty 

(a balloon catheter inserted into the narrowed vessels, possibly 

including a stent to keep the vessel open post-operation). The 

technique is hardly cutting edge, having been used successfully 

for decades to treat blockages in various blood vessels throughout 

the body. The tests and resulting treatment would cost the health 

system a tiny fraction of what the drugs used to treat MS are worth. 

However, the procedure has not been approved for MS patients 

in Canada; studies are slowly getting underway but more and more 

individuals suffering the debilitating effects of the disease are seeking 

help out of country at their own expense. Stories are appearing 

in the media of people travelling to the States, the UK, and various 

European countries to receive treatment. Even the MS Society of 

Canada’s website points to only two individuals who had any negative 

results from the procedure but cautions people to wait until all 

clinical trials have proven the ‘liberation’ treatment, as Dr. Zamboni 

coined, to be safe and effective. 

What I’d like to know is, what is the hold-up on this procedure 

This is a huge breakthrough in treatment for a disease that is 

diagnosed more in Canada than any other nation of the world, in 

ever-increasing numbers. MS tends to be progressively debilitating, 

so the sooner patients could be tested and treated, the more lives 

would be improved and the more health money would be saved long 

term. It’s one thing if this process had never been tried anywhere, 

but it’s now been used for over two years in Italy and is spreading to 

other areas of the world, including Mexico and Poland. 

Where do we want to sit on the list of countries willing to care 

for our citizens It’s time to fast-track this research and potential 

cure for multiple sclerosis.

“True, comics are a popular 

art, and yes, I believe their primary 

obligation is to entertain, 

but comics can go beyond that, 

and when they do, they move 

from silliness to significance.” 

Bill Watterson 

We had this discussion at 

work one day: what comic 

strip do you read regularly 

The answers were varied 

as was to be expected: Tundra, 

Garfield, Wizard of ID, 

Sally Forth. 

The word comics is derived 

from Greek origin meaning 

(mikos) “of or pertaining to 

comedy” with a bit of Latin 

influence (micus), which 

means to convey a sequential 

narrative. As is so often the 

case I find whenever you delve 

into the history of something 

there are surprises. 

One would think the comic 

strip is fairly modern but 

there are instances of this art 

form dating back to the 15th 

century. The subject matter 

was mainly religious but by 

the 18th century political and 

social life issues were taking 

shape. Early strips used the 

speech bubble as a means of 

illustrating dialogue but by 

the 19th century the bubbles 

were dropped. 

Satirical drawings appeared 

in newspapers of 

the day but the first strip 

featuring a recurring character 

was Ally Sloper’s Half 

Holiday, which appeared in 

1884. Others followed: Comic 

Cuts and Illustrated Chips in 

Britain; Hogan’s Alley and 

The Yellow Kid in the United 

States. 

Along came the 20th 

Neighbourly 

News Peg by Hasein 

century and mass media. Every 

country had its own characters 

but in North America some of 

the more well-known ones included 

Superman, Doonesbury, 

The Private Eye. Early cartoons 

were often autographed by the 

artists and some of these originals 

are in great demand. 

The strip cartoons feature 

one or more 

characters who 

unite to tell a 

story. Sometimes 

the story line is 

about everyday 

life or it could 

tackle a social 

issue. As the 

quote says, the 

strip then moves 

from merely 

being entertaining 

to making us 

think. Not entirely a bad thing. 

Nothing is out of bounds and 

Sometimes the 

story line is about 

everyday life or it 

could tackle a social 

issue. . . the strip 

then moves from 

merely being 

entertaining to 

making us think. 

every topic is up for discussion. 

The tools of the trade have 

changed over the years. At 

one time, artists used pencils, 

paper and waterproof ink. 

Then computers came along 

and changed the industry. Now, 

artists create digital illustrations. 

Modern technology is 

wonderful but it does make it 

rather difficult for an artist to 

autograph an original piece of 

work. 

Newspaper comic strips 

would come in two varieties: 

daily strips and Sunday 

strips. Today, however, there 

is another method of distribution: 

webcomics, which are 

available on the Internet. Some 

are exclusive to online readers 

and some are published both

Letters to the editor 

Dear Editor, 

I see in last week’s 

paper that the Watrous 

Swimming Pool has a 

family swim night again 

this year. For those who 

do not know what this is, 

it is a swim night for parents 

and their children as 

long as there is a parent 

“in” the water with their 

kids. This sounds like a 

good idea until you realize 

that those kids who 

do not have a parent who 

can go with them, are 

not allowed to swim and 

will be sent home by the 

swimming pool. In a lot 

of families, this then creates 

arguments as to why 

parents cannot or will not 

come. 

How ta look at the news 

The principal of 

D. Roy Kennedy 

Public School 

in Ottawa 

has banned 

“ball-playing” 

anywhere on 

school grounds, 

declaring that it 

is too dangerous. 

I myself swim with my 

son every weekend and 

some week nights when 

the weather is good but 

some weeks it is not possible 

to go for a swim on 

a Tuesday night, which 

means that my son cannot 

go either. I am sure that 

most parents have other 

commitments, small children 

already in bed or just 

do not swim and cannot be 

there with their kids. 

This contradicts all of 

the work that the schools 

and government have in 

place for the In-Motion 

program. 

Previous years, on 

family swim night, the 

only people using the 

pool were the few parents 

who are always there 

with their small kids and 

maybe one or two other 

families, which leaves the 

pool basically empty with 

three lifeguards on. 

I think that Kidsport 

free swim night is a great 

idea to bring more interest 

to the swimming pool and 

allow those who may not 

be able to afford to swim 

but the family swim night 

does not make any sense 

if it means turning kids 

away who want to swim. 

If you have the same 

opinion as myself, please 

call the Town of Watrous/ 

Rec Director and voice 

your opinion.

A Philadelphia woman hid at a funeral 

home in Mifflintown, Pa. to escape custody. 

Nicole April Kelly, 19, was being transported 

to jail by deputies to await extradition 

to another county on other charges. After 

she escaped, she was on the loose for several 

hours until the owner of the Brown 

Funeral Home found her in a coffin and 

held her until police arrived. The funeral 

home also wants restitution for damage 

to the coffin. Officers described Kelly as 

“embalmed and dangerous,” wrote Jerry 

Perisho. 

Staff at the Macdonald Portal Golf and 

Spa Hotel in Cheshire, England would not 

give a toothpick to a guest on New Year’s 

Day. Although the customer just wanted 

to get some meat out of his teeth, the facility’s 

manager said that toothpicks are 

safety hazards. 

Justin Massler, 27, has been charged 

with criminal stalking of 28-year-old 

businesswoman-heiress Ivanka Trump. 

Massler was released on bail in New York 

City and now he intends to alter his approach. 

Instead of imposing 

himself on Trump, he 

said he would “become like 

a big-time millionaire, real 

estate mogul, so that she’s 

the one who contacts me.” 

Galena Park, Texas, high 

school teacher Fernando 

Gonzalez, 35, was sentenced 

to seven years in prison 

after he was caught using 

his classroom computer to 

watch child pornography 

from his many disks. He 

tried to explain that he had 

no other choice because his 

wife had already banned 

him from watching child 

porn at home. 

“It was a complete coincidence,” says 

Montgomery County police Capt. Paul 

Starks. “He didn’t know it was his teacher 

until the crime started.” The student from 

Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington, 

D.C., carjacked his own teacher. She 

was driven to a bank and forced to withdraw 

money from an ATM. After the boy 

got out, his uncle demanded sex from the 

teacher. A physical struggle ensued inside 

the vehicle and she was stabbed in the 

process. Because she could identify one of 

the men (the student who actually greeted 

her) they were both nabbed very quickly. 

Officials in Hudson, N.Y. proudly unveiled 

their state-of-the-art water fountain 

for the disabled in the county courthouse. 

The installation was agreed to in 

a 2003 settlement with federal officials enforcing 

the Americans with Disabilities 

Act. However, the fountain was installed 

on the courthouse’s second floor, which 

is accessible only by stairway. In defence, 

county officials said the fountain had 

several features for handicapped people 

other than those in wheelchairs. 

A 21-year-old inmate at Kirseberg prison 

in Malmo, Sweden faces discipline for 

continuing his protests against jail conditions 

by aiming his gas-passing directly at 

guards. 

Mary Merten, 43, pleaded guilty to four 

felonies after an eight-year-long spree in 

which, as bookkeeper for a two-lawyer 

firm in Kingston, N.Y., she stole over 

$800,000 via embezzlement and theft of 

the lawyers’ identities. However, as she 

awaited sentencing, she wrote her former 

bosses: “I would ask that you consider 

keeping me employed . . . I truly enjoy my 

job and want to continue to work for the 

both of you to make up for my imperfections.” 

James Fall, 58, told police in Mound, 

Minn. that his “marriage” to his 10-yearold 

niece was perfectly acceptable in that 

he is a “prophet of God,” citing Corinthians 

6:12. “I am free to do all things, but 

not all things are wise. I am free to do 

all things; but I will not let myself come 

under the power of any.” (The Bible in 

basic English) 

The zero tolerance policies prohibiting 

guns or weapons on school campuses are 

also a good thing, but a little common 

sense is definitely needed. 

Recently suspensions have 

been applied as a result of 

drawings of guns and a 

2-inch-long toy charm in 

the shape of a gun. Now a 

school in Ionia, Mich. has 

suspended Mason Jammer, 

six, for making the familiar, 

thumb-up hand representation 

of a gun. 

This is hard to even report. 

The principal of D. 

Roy Kennedy Public School 

in Ottawa has banned 

“ball-playing” anywhere 

on school grounds, declaring 

that it is too dangerous. 

While not a typical prom queen candidate, 

Omar Bonilla finished in the top 

three vote getters at Flanagan High School 

in Florida. School officials were not sure 

how to handle the incident, because the 

openly gay Bonilla was still deciding if 

he would wear a dress or a tuxedo. The 

school said if he was planning on a dress, 

he should wear a dress, but then recanted 

because of the fear he would be beaten up. 

In the middle of a dispute with the school, 

he was suspended . . . for parking in a “visitors” 

space at the school. He was therefore 

barred from the prom. 

In Oklahoma City, a 27-year-old man 

complained to police that he had been 

sexually assaulted by another man. The 

first man thinks there may have been a 

misinterpretation because he had tried 

to explain his “fetish for flatulence.” The 

second man tied him up and sexually assaulted 

the first man, who only wanted 

the second man to “fart for me.” 

“A study says that eating bran helps diabetics 

live longer,” observed Jim Barach. 

“Unfortunately, all the extra time they get 

is spent in the bathroom.” 

Until next time . . . keep reading between 

the lines . . . 

Dear Editor, 

In the May 24, 2010 issue, gold and silver 

backed money was discussed. Perhaps 

my writing was not clear; however, the 

words “showing the money” should have 

read “shaving the money”. It is a means 

of increasing the money supply by merchants 

and businesses rubbing some gold 

off the surface of coins with an abrasive 

Dear Editor, 

I recently found out 

there is an attempt being 

made to unionize the 

Watrous Co-op employees. 

While I was working in my 

garage a fellow came in 

looking for my son who is 

presently a student working 

at the food store. When 

I told him that my son was 

at work, the man proceeded 

to introduce himself and 

tell me that he is trying to 

organize the co-op employees 

into the union that he 

represents. Apparently, all 

or most of the student employees 

were approached 

with the union pitch. As 

a parent I have a problem 

with these young part-time 

workers being solicited for 

support to this cause. Also, 

I was not impressed that 

he would come to my home 

without prior notice and 

after hearing about some 

of the tactics he was using 

to talk to other employees I 

am even less willing to help 

him. I have never been a 

union member, but I have 

some serious concerns if 

this should happen. 

First is that Watrous Coop 

is member owned and 

benefits our community. 

Any profits they make ultimately 

go back into making 

our town an even better 

place to live. He pointed out 

that Saskatoon Co-ops are 

unionized, but the wages 

he quoted me are not a 

great deal more than what 

our employees are currently 

making. While he may 

promise pie in the sky for 

the employees, they need 

to keep in mind that their 

union dues will offset some 

of that promised wage increase 

. 

Another thing to consider 

is that by their very 

nature, unions are confrontational. 

Instead of being 

able to converse with the 

management as the employees 

now do, there will 

be an “us vs. them” mentality. 

The union rep does not 

live in our community so he 

and melting it down making more coins. 

“Clipping the coin” is another form of 

creating extra “fiat” money. Governments 

and royalty have increased their money 

supply by melting coins and restamping 

them with thinner material. It all contributes 

to inflation. 

Ronald E. Kennedy 

Simpson, Sask. 

will be virtually unaffected 

by any kind of fallout that 

may occur as he will be on 

to his next challenge. 

I had other concerns that 

I raised with him as well 

but he basically brushed 

them off. I suppose he is 

basically a salesman and 

whether you sell tractors 

or toothpicks your job is to 

convince the customer that 

what you are promoting 

is in their best interests, 

which leads me to have serious 

doubts about his intentions. 

I could go on but 

I will close by saying that 

it has been my family’s experience 

that the Watrous 

Co-op is a good training 

ground for students entering 

the work world. I 

hope it will continue to do 

so for many more years. 

Please show your support 

to the staff and management 

of Watrous Co-op by 

reaffirming that they do 

not need a union. 

Ralph Schalm 

Watrous, Sask.


Sports and Recreation 

THE POINT 

Talk about a dream 

come true for many 

NHL’ers and long-time 

fans. After waiting for 

many decades, the Chicago 

Blackhawks finally 

captured the Stanley Cup. 

The ‘Hawks were in tough 

against a skilled Flyers 

team but managed to hang 

on to take the championship 

last week, ending 

another season. Unfortunately 

for Philadelphia, 

they will have to regroup, 

take some time off and 

gear up for another run 

next season. 

Meanwhile, Nokomis native and former local minor 

hockey player Jordan Hendry got to raise the silver 

trophy, as did many other skaters who deserved it after 

some hard work. Here is hoping that the defenceman 

will bring that Cup back home for everyone to check 

out. 

I had the good fortune of ‘meeting’ the Stanley Cup 

a few years ago in Saskatoon when Detroit head coach 

Mike Babcock brought it along with him. The Cup itself 

was very shiny and it was cool to get a chance to have 

my picture taken with it and Babcock. 

The Wings coach is a beauty and my cousin Jeff and 

I wore our Flames jerseys to the event and got ribbed 

by Babcock when we stepped up for our picture. He 

was also signing some 4” x 8” cards and Jeff asked him 

to put ‘Go Flames Go’ on his. Babcock, with a grin, 

scribbled ‘Go home Flames!’ 

The Saskatchewan Roughriders hit the turf last 

week for training camp and were met by rain. However, 

the show must go on and while the number one position 

at quarterback has never been in doubt, the backup and 

third spot has. What could have been a bit of a surprise 

was that Todd Reesing was cut. Reesing was a standout 

in college football; his departure leaves the green and 

white with Cole Bergquist, Ryan Dinwiddie and Kent 

Smith along with starter Darian Durant. 

I am thinking Dinwiddie gets the number two slot, 

Bergquist takes third on the depth chart and Smith 

becomes number four. 

However, as that battle heated up a scare came during 

practice last Thursday as Durant left the field with 

an apparent injury. While Rider Nation was on pins and 

needles, the injury was not as bad as everyone thought. 

One thing that will be exciting is the receiving core 

that the team has. They have a ton of talent and brought 

in some extra skill during the offseason. I would not be 

surprised that with a new offensive coordinator and all 

those weapons, the ‘Riders will be the highest scoring 

offence. 

To the links and has Tiger Woods lost his edge At 

the Memorial tournament, he ended up hitting three 

fans with his tee shots as they went wayward. Woods 

fell down the leaderboard and was never in contention. 

Meanwhile, my favourite golfer Phil Mickelson made 

quite the sweet shot. Those who follow Phil or have read 

his book know that he is not afraid of taking bold shots 

and stepping up to the challenge. 

Mickelson’s ball landed on the paved path on hole 15 

in the final round. Instead of taking a drop, he elected 

to let it fly. While the shot was off target, he managed 

a clean swing and caught many people with their jaws 

dropped. Only in professional golf can a person do that; 

mainly because they know if the club breaks they can 

afford to get a new one that won’t cost an arm and a leg. 

The World Cup is underway and for soccer fans the 

event is like an early Christmas present, or one that 

took a long time to wait for, depending on how you look 

at it. The event, which is being held in Johannesburg, 

South Africa this year, is always an interesting time of 

skill, crazy fans and some overdramatic players taking 

falls. 

I know as much about soccer as I do basketball, 

which is not much. But I am picking Argentina to win it 

all, followed by Brazil. 

In the NBA, the Suns whom I had wanted to beat the 

Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs, setting up 

Boston and the Lakers. I was hoping for Boston to take 

out Kobe and Los Angeles. 

And to the mound and my favourite baseball player 

called it a day as Ken Griffey Jr. decided to hang up the 

cleats. In my opinion, Griffey was the best player ever to 

take to the plate. If it would not have been for injuries, 

he very well could have broken the home run record. 

The soon-to-be legend started and finished his career in 

Seattle but never captured a World Series trophy. 

At the moment I have narrowed down my new 

favourite to David Wright of the Mets, Josh Hamilton of 

Texas or Justin Morneau of the Twins. 

That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the 

point! 

AFTER 

Player takes 

swipe at 

opportunities 


TWM 

After wrapping up a 

high school football career, 

one local product is tracking 

down and tackling a 

few opportunities that 

have come his way, hoping 

to add to an already promising 

resume. 

Watrous Winston High 

School student Dillon 

Croshaw, who completed 

his time playing for the 

Wildcats’ six-man football 

team, recently had the opportunity 

to take part in 

the province’s annual senior 

bowl. The game consisted 

of top players from 

across Saskatchewan split 

into two teams - north and 

south - who have used their 

last year of eligibility to 

play high school football. 

At the end of March, 

selection camps were held 

in Regina and Saskatoon 

in which over 150 athletes 

from all parts of the province 

participated, including 

Croshaw. 

Out of those camps, 

between 75 and 80 players 

were picked to attend a full 

contact tryout camp where 

senior bowl coaches evaluated 

them and notified the 

ones who were selected. 

The top 45 graduating high 

school players then had 

the chance to showcase 

their talent during a May 

24 game. 

Croshaw, who was summoned 

for his efforts, suited 

up for team north and 

hit the field in Saskatoon. 

With the senior bowl 

featuring more players on 

the field than the six-man 

league Watrous plays in, 

adjusting to the bigger 

format came smoothly for 

Croshaw. 

“It was not too hard. 

A lot of camps teach 12- 

man and having practices 

helped.” 

Those practices for senior 

bowl took place during 

the weekend before the 

big game. Players went 

through two practices each 

day on Friday, Saturday 

and Sunday in preparation 

for the spectacle. 

“It was really good. The 

weather was not so good 

but the game itself was a 

lot of fun.” 

Croshaw said he was 

not slated to start the contest 

but did get some action. 

The defensive back 

got some playing time and 

impressed the coaches who 

told him he would be out on 

the field more as the game 

went on. 

“I played about threequarters 

of the game. It 

was pretty cool to play 

with some of the best kids 

in the province. It was not 

like anything else I have 

played before.” 

Despite his team losing 

in the end 56-21, Croshaw 

said the experience was incredible. 

For some athletes, the 

close of that memorable 

weekend marked the end 

of a football career, but for 

others like Croshaw, it was 

just another stop on a journey 

that started when he 

was just a young spectator. 

Croshaw’s passion to 

play first came years ago 

when he would tag along 

with his dad Barry who 

coached the team. “I used 

to come watch practice 

when I was here.” From 

the very start, it was a cool 

experience to see the players 

learn the ropes. 

After having a frontrow 

seat on the sidelines, 

Croshaw soon put on the 

Standing tall 

Winston Wildcats football player Dillon Croshaw suited 

up for team North during this year’s Senior Bowl held at 

Griffith’s Stadium in Saskatoon. Croshaw, who graduates 

this year, joined other top athletes from across the 

province for the annual game. 

-Photo submitted 

cleats and strapped on the 

pads in Gr. 9, getting the 

opportunity to be coached 

by his dad. 

From those years and 

a trip to senior bowl, 

Croshaw will now suit up 

for the annual Can-Am 

Bowl July 3. The event goes 

in Preeceville this year and 

features graduated all-star 

players from the United 

States and Saskatchewan. 

The week-long event has 

practices for both teams 

and extracurricular and 

team-bonding opportunities 

with an awards banquet, 

something Croshaw 

has been preparing for. “I 

am looking forward to it.” 

Croshaw will be joined 

by a few players against 

whom he has lined up on 

opposite sidelines, including 

Clavet’s Joel Haight. 

The six-man team also 

has players from Hudson 

Bay, Kelliher, Biggar and 

See page 7: 

HITTING HIS STRIDE 

And . . . 

the call is 

Thanks to all the rain in 

the area, a rare ball game 

was held in Watrous last 

week as the rookies hit 

the mound. Watrous 

faced a Humboldt team 

in an evening contest as 

the rains held off long 

enough to allow 

the game to be played.

Talent showcased at provincial meet 


TWM 

After advancing through pre-districts and districts, 

athletes from the Horizon School Division joined other 

competitors from towns across Saskatchewan, including 

Prairie Spirit School Division’s Allan, Colonsay and 

Clavet for this year’s provincial track meet June 4 and 5 

in Moose Jaw. 

As a result, Horizon collected 13 gold medals, 22 medals

New digs paints 

picture of 

local talents 


TWM 

What has been some time in the making has finally 

come to fruition for one local pair and after all their hard 

work, completing their new business can now be stroked 

off their list. 

Manitou Beach residents Michael Gaudet and Sharon 

Gibson painted a picture in their minds of how they 

would like G-G’s (Gibson and Gaudet) Gallery and Gifts 

to look and transferred that to a live canvas. 

“It has been a lifelong dream of mine to have a gallery,” 

said Gaudet. 

Thanks to the growing success the Spirit of Manitou 

Trail has had over the past three years, Gaudet felt 

it was time to tap into a potentially huge opportunity. 

“It was so successful,” said Gaudet. “We decided 

there is a market for this to open.” 

With combined experience in marketing, managerial 

skills and design work, the two began the project, 

which is now up and running. 

Signs placed throughout the beach lead curious 

customers to G-G’s Gallery and Gifts, a name that was 

“short and snappy” and easy to remember. 

Once people arrive at the new gallery, located at 

309 Evenson Ave., outdoor displays and artwork await 

them as they descend towards the indoor portion of 

the store, creating an enticing ambience. 

“It is a happy and warm atmosphere,” Gibson said. 

Once through the door, roof boards from the 1920s 

line the lower portion of the wall, giving it that rustic 

feel with a touch of elegance. Hanging on the walls and 

sitting on tables, works of art by both Gaudet and Gibson 

are displayed with a multitude of other Saskatchewan-made 

products. 

Gibson said about 99.9 per cent of what they sell is 

made within the province including hemp soap, jellies, 

jam, jewellery and even wild rice. 

“Everything in here is an absolute total labour of 

love.” 

The pair also hand picked the products they wanted

Come on in! 

G-G’s Gallery and Gifts is the latest business to open 

its doors at Manitou Beach. Owners Michael Gaudet and 

Sharon Gibson are excited about the new opportunity 

to offer in their gallery and gift shop and met the people 

involved in creating them. 

“There are so many talented people.” 

Being a history buff, the focus for Gaudet’s work was 

to have old photographs containing Manitou Beach 

themes turned into pictures on canvas for people who 

visit the resort village. Gaudet also turned those images 

into smaller versions of the paintings and put 

them on postcards. 

“There is no disconnect between this place and 

Manitou Beach. This gallery reflects the love of Manitou 

Beach and people pick up on that. 

“It is all related to Manitou Beach, which is an endless 

source of inspiration.” 

Gibson, meanwhile, has been busy doing her own 

art including wheat weaving and creating beautiful 

painted jars. 

Gaudet said they decided not to sell any products 


TWM 

A milestone for hard 

work, perseverance and 

dedication will once 

again be marked as farm 

families get recognized 

for 100 years. 

This year, Information 

Services Corporation 

is honouring 635 

farm families in the 

province with a Century 

Family Farm Award. 

Since the program 

started in 1981, this year 

from the business online simply because, “People want 

to see artwork with their own eyes.” Gaudet felt that the 

most success is one-on-one when the works are right in 

front of a potential buyer to examine for themselves. 

By opening the gallery and gift shop, Gaudet said it 

is also a way to spin off into commissions, something 

that he is also currently doing. “It is like a live portfolio. 

“We believe this will attract people in its own 

right. We are adding to the critical mass of enhancing 

Watrous and Manitou Beach as an artistic hub.” 

G-G’s, which is open Thursday to Sundays, took off 

at the start of June and will be running throughout the 

summer. 

In the future, the duo hope to host openings of 

people’s artwork and present different art displays, 

making it a gathering place. 

“We’re having fun,” said Gibson. 

Local farms reach 100 years 

and while there is a lot of their own art for sale, other 

Saskatchewan-made products can also be found inside 

the gift store.

The Book of Eli - I have seen only one of the releases 

this week, but looks like a mixed bag that is worth a look. 

The Book of Eli is the first movie from Allen and Albert 

Hughes in nine years. They did the excellent From Hell, 

Dead Presidents and Menace II Society. This time out the 

boys employ Denzel Washington in a post apocalyptic 

world where Denzel must travel the mayhem in order to 

protect a book that will save mankind. (14A) 

When in Rome - Kristin Bell (Veronica Mars, Forgetting 

Sarah Marshall) stars in this comedy about a young 

woman who steals coins from the sacred fountain of love 

and ends up being pursued by some amorous men with 

the usual comic results. Bell is always a good watch. I 

hope the movie is the same. (PG) 

Youth in Revolt - Michael Cera (Superbad, Juno) 

stars as a love-starved, young man who invents an alterego 

to get girls. Of course the alter-ego causes some disastrous 

results in the rocky road to romance. As always 

Cera is a good watch and the film’s R rating may add to 

the gross out humour level. (14A)

Horizon Winds 

Band completes 

whirlwind tour 

and wraps 

up season 

submitted by Lety Schalm, 

Watrous 

The Horizon Winds 

Band is wrapping up 

another busy season of 

music, learning, and performing. 

Under the capable 

leadership of David 

McDade, they compiled a 

varied repertoire of great 

music. Over the 2009-2010 

season they performed at 

a number of venues. This 

spring they took part in 

the Watrous Music Festival 

where they were favourably 

adjudicated and 

received some very high 

marks. In April they performed 

in Imperial at the 

Stone Frigate Concert 

and dance. Band tour to 

Edmonton and Lloydminster 

was a busy four days 

of performances for the 

central band and Winston 

Garage Band. 

Monday, May 10, they 

were back on the bus to 

do a mini band tour of 

Imperial, Nokomis and 

Watrous schools. The appreciative 

audiences were 

treated to music from Pirates 

of the Caribbean and 

Harry Potter. The Winston 

Garage Band added some 

rock and roll tunes to the 

show. The show wrapped 

up with a group effort on 

Free Bird, which seems 

to have become the year’s 

signature song. 

Sunday, May 16 was 

the final concert at WHS. 

It featured more great 

music and some delicious 

desserts for those in attendance. 

The bands were 

able to strut their stuff for 

family and friends. The 

graduating band members 

Sian Wall, William 

Lee, Tracy Sundquist 

and Eric Schalm were 

each given a small plaque 

of recognition. Other 

awards followed: most 

promising first year band 

member - Jasmine Brooks 

of Holdfast school; most 

improved band member 

- Sian Wall of Watrous; 

most outstanding concert 

band member - Tracy Sundquist 

of Watrous; most 

outstanding stage band 

member - Eric Schalm of 

Watrous; most dedicated 

band member - Kenton 

Otte of Holdfast school 

and participant’s choice 

- Joshua Amendt of 

Watrous. 

Mr. McDade was presented 

with a token of 

appreciation for his wonderful 

leadership, as was 

Michelle Amendt the band 

parent’s auxiliary chair. 

Over the past year she has 

put in many, many hours 

to organize, fund raise, 

tour and be the honourary 

band mom and fan. 

Wednesday, May 19, the 

band headed to Holdfast 

school for a concert and 

on to Moose Jaw for a noncompetitive, 

adjudicated 

band festival. The band 

played Green Onions, How 

High the Moon and Free 

Bird. The adjudicator and 

organizers had many kind 

and complimentary comments 

for our small group 

of musicians. It was a 

positive note to end a long 

day, as the bus pulled into 

town after 8 p.m. 

The Watrous contingent 

of Horizon Winds 

played at the WHS Awards 

Night. It has been a very 

exciting year for these 

musicians. School administrators, 

staffs, communities 

and the parent’s auxiliary 

have supported this 

very important program. 

Imperial School has been 

providing their facility for 

the weekly practices and 

storage of instruments, 

which is most appreciated. 

This band program was 

formed by Tom Magnuson 

in 1965 and it continues to 

bring students together to 

make great music, form 

friendships and have fun. 

There is a sad note; 

however, as we say farewell 

to Mr. McDade who 

has resigned from his position 

as band instructor. 

He assures us that a very 

capable and enthusiastic 

teacher has accepted 

the challenge of band 

instructor. We look forward 

to another exciting 

year of performing music 

together.

Hello all. Our community extends

Sunday, the Philadelphia Church congregation 

had a good day for their picnic 

on a piece of Regional Park west of the 

tennis courts. Would it not it be practical 

if each portion of Regional Park had a 

specific name rather than sharing the 

same moniker Arranging to meet someone 

at Regional Park would be easier if 

you could just give the name rather than 

explaining which park you mean. Wellington 

Park is so easy as everyone knows 

exactly where you mean and it has a link 

with a person from our colourful past. 

West or east of the tennis courts is such 

a bland description for giving a location. 

How about keeping Regional Park and 

adding another Native American name 

to it Such as: opechee (robin), owaissa 

(bluebird), kwasind (strong man) or wabun 

(a man of dawn or east wind) or the 

like . . . something for our community and 

Regional Park officials to consider. These 

words all appear in Henry Wadsworth 

Longfellow’s famous epic poem The Song 

of Hiawatha. 

Over the past few years I have been 

asked how some street names came about 

so as it has been too wet for much outdoor 

life I have been busy googling the Internet 

to see what I can discover about the area 

west of Shawondasse (aka Motorcycle 

Hill). This is quite interesting as many 

of the names are found in Longfellow’s 

poem. Shawondasse refers to the south 

wind, which we wish would blow and 

bring us some heat. Ishkoodah, my back 

alley, is fire or a comet. Hiawatha runs up 

hill and in the poem he was the prophet 

son of Mudjekeews, the west wind and 

Wenonah, the daughter of Nokomis. 

Apukwa, close to the golf course is the 

bulrush root or cattail. Pukwana, which 

runs west of the tennis courts and south 

of the wee park, is the smoke from the 

peace pipe. I had no luck with the meaning 

of Kebayan. In the poem, which is set 

in Minnesota, Hiawatha is an Iroquois 

hero and most of the Native American 

words that Longfellow uses are mostly 

Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Dakota Sioux. In 

literature one can take liberties, it seems. 

I can only hope and trust that the information 

gleaned from the Internet for today’s 

column is correct. My apologies if I 

have used incorrect material. 

Jubilee Drive-In theatre had a large 

crowd last weekend to see Robin Hood. 

Googling results show this is one of the 

province’s three drive-ins and has the 

outdoor screen as well as an indoor 24 

seat movie theatre. The faithful Watrous 

Manitou, in 1954, reports that Mr. A.M. 

Crawford, owner of the Roxy Theatre in 

Watrous, has bought approximately eight 

acres of land at Manitou Beach on which 

to build a drive-in theatre. June 1955 there 

is an ad for the drive-in, movies showing 

in technicolour are Timber Jack starring 

Vera Ralson and Sterling Hayden. Last 

Time I Saw Paris showed June 6 to 8 with 

Elizabeth Taylor and Van Johnson. 

In 1955 Ted Markham sold 10 tons of 

lake salt to one customer and celebrated 

his 70th birthday. Millions of gallons of 

water were added to the lake that year. 

C.A. Gallagher died at the age of 88. With 

his wife, Ella, he came to Manitou Beach 

in the early 1920s and built a number of 

rental cabins at the west end. Later he 

supervised the building of the Chalet 

(Camp Easter Seal) as well as making 

lake salt products. Mrs. John Kocher of 

Winnipeg bought the Lake View Hotel, 

which was immediately west of the Whitmore 

Hotels. Rooms and foreign dishes, 

e.g. Mexican, Jewish, Polish, Ukrainian 

etc. were available in the restaurant. This 

was also the year when Lionel and Jean 

Sproule were engaged and married, if my 

math and the Watrous Manitou are correct 

we can congratulate the couple in August 

on their 55th wedding anniversary. 

If you are ailing or in the hospital do 

get well soon. Knowing that people fall ill 

or have conditions causing them to be in 

hospital, I feel sure that if people in the 

community knew they would be sending 

get well wishes and helping where possible. 

However, not everyone wants their 

health concerns made public and prefer 

privacy so I refrain from writing about 

such personal matters. But once upon a 

time hospital admittances and discharges 

were printed in the Watrous Signal, often 

along with the reason for the visit. So 

much for patient confidentiality! Have a 

wonderful week everyone and remember 

to contact me with news. Sue.

her nest on the edge of the garden, which 

was a bit higher than the garden. We must

Imperial Co-op 

Annual Meeting 

Monday, June 28th ➪ 7:30 pm 

Multi-purpose rooms 

• Election of Officers 

• Financial Statement 

Congratulations to all 

the Imperial School graduates 

who graduated Friday, 

June 4. Morgan Wolff 

was our Liberty graduate. 

We wish them all the best 

in their future plans. 

Teresa Strachan of 

Nokomis was here one 

day last week to babysit 

granddaughter Siara 

while Chad and Kathleen 

were away. 

Some of us have moved 

out to Etters Beach for the 

season. The weather has 

not been very co-operative 

for farming or beaching 

but we are all hoping that 

soon it will quit raining so 

the planting can get done 

for another season. 

Several gals were in 

Moose Jaw Saturday 

afternoon, June 5 to have 

supper at Hopkins and 

then came back to the 

Liberty Hotel for a couple 

of hours of socializing at 

a stagette in honour of 

June bride-elect Kathleen 

Strachan. 

A holiday with cousins 

Easter Sunday, Apr. 4, 

2010, I, Karen Tripps of 

Liberty, enjoyed the day 

with Andrew, Michele, 

Daniel and girlfriend 

Kelly and Michael. The 

following afternoon I saw 

Crystal LeGros and Les 

Le Gros in Wainwright, 

Alta. and the next morning 

Art LeGros and 

daughter-in-law Shirley 

and I began our trip to the 

West Coast. We had a good 

visit over the lunch hour 

with George Weinand in 

Prince George, B.C. For 

five days Yvonne and Dave 

Bond were our hosts while 

touring Tofino and Ucluelet 

on the west coast of 

Vancouver Island. We had 

an evening and brunch 

of visiting with cousin 

Diane (Shimek), Don and 

Sean in Parksville followed 

by a visit with aunt 

Joy (Earl) Shimek who is 

90 years young in Qualicum 

Beach Senior Home. 

Back in North Vancouver 

we met with Ben LeGros 

and girlfriend for supper. 

Then in Penticton, we 

visited Shirley (Tripps),

Doug and Shaun for two 

evenings, watched Shaun 

at a karate lesson before 

we enjoyed a supper visit 

at Earl’s and the second 

evening at their home for 

a barbecue. Accompanied 

Liz (LeGros) and Harry 

to Blessed Sacrament 

Church second day of 

100th anniversary service 

in Wainwright. Before arriving 

home I stopped in 

North Battleford where I 

visited cousin Joan and 

Shelly. 

Several views and stops 

of interest: the mountain 

ranges are different, the 

Rockies being the most 

beautiful with snow and 

the sun shining on them. 

We saw wildlife (deer, 

mountain goats and elk) 

and the railroad trains. 

There were some great 

highways, especially in 

the area of the Olympic 

site. Whistler had some 

fantastic castle-like condos. 

At Tofino and Ucluelet 

there was Long Beach 

where we gals took our 

shoes and socks off to 

wade in the Pacific Ocean. 

The whale watching tour 

was on rough waters, we 

saw a couple of poofs of 

the whales, a rock island 

of sea lions and seagulls 

and a pair of nesting bald 

eagles. We walked on the 

Wild Pacific Trail from 

the lighthouse. When leaving 

that area a black bear 

posed for pictures. Little 

Qualicum Falls Park of 

Upper and Lower Falls 

was interesting. Plates 

Eatery and Catering in 

Courtenay used many 

licence plates from different 

provinces, states, 

Northwest Territories 

and Yukon to decorate inside 

and out. In the wind 

we walked through the 

outdoor Comox Museum 

of Military Aircraft and 

also walked the boardwalk 

along cannery shore 

and visited some novelty 

shops in old Richmond 

of Vancouver. Taking 

Route #3 east we stopped 

in Greenwood, an old coal 

mining town with a 1906 

smelter (copper, gold and

stands. We checked out 

some rocks for ores. Cranbrook 

has a large Canadian 

Museum of Rail 

Travel on the sidings as 

well as the large station 

house with a small station 

house from Elko moved on 

site. On main street there 

was a sculpture of Charlie 

Ed, an Asian elephant of a 

herd of 14 that escaped the 

circus in 1926 and were 

months being caught. To 

Sparwood, B.C. home of 

the 350 ton Titan, world’s 

largest dump truck was 

saved by the community 

as an important artifact 

of the type of equipment 

used in modern mining. 

The tires (eight and two 

Yokohama) were 40-00-57 

at $7,000 each! Frank Slide, 

the deadliest rock slide 

the early morning of Apr. 

29, 1903 when a huge slab 

of limestone moved and 

30,000,000 cubic metres of 

rock crashed into the valley 

bottom covering a part 

of the town, the rail line 

and the entire surface plan 

of CanAm Coal and Coke 

Co. was destroyed and an 

estimated 90 people lost 

their lives. We watched a 

train, two Union engines 

and two Pacific engines 

pulling and one Union 

Pacific engine pushing, 

hauling CP Rail grain 

cars (approximately 192) 

from the prairies to the 

coast for export. When 

we came into southern 

Alberta we saw rows and 

rows and more rows of 

windmills. In Lethbridge 

we got pictures of the railroad 

suspension bridge, 

the largest in Canada and 

possibly the world. 

Some areas I had visited 

previously, but there 

were many miles of country 

I had not seen before. 

It was a great trip, weather 

mostly favourable and 

no car problems other 

than gas ranging from 

86.9 to 112.9 (Wainwright 

and Surrey). It was great 

having cousin Art as narrator. 

After living out of 

baggage for three weeks, 

it was good to be home.

Thank you to all employees involved in mine rescue and emergency

TWM 

Youth are the focus of 

a global demand that is 

being pushed to the forefront 

this week as the 

need for new blood is required 

around the world. 

Those donors along 

with others are being 

given a big thumbs up 

for their efforts during 

National Blood Donor 

Week, and World Blood 

Donor Day, both going 

this week. 

10063MF01 

Recognizing the efforts of local blood donors 

Manager of donor services 

for Saskatchewan 

Glenda Kolynchuk-Simpson 

is hoping that along 

with those already deciding 

to donate, more youth 

are encouraged to make 

that decision. 

Canadian Blood Services 

community development 

coordinator for 

rural areas Pat Young said 

as the nation’s population 

gets older, they need the 

youth to help fill in. “We 

need to get a lot of new 

young donors to keep the 

donor base up.” 

That was the case 

in Watrous last year as 

graduating student Melanie 

Deneiko took on 

the task of getting more 

people to donate. A program 

called Assignment: 

saving lives is offered by 

Canadian Blood Services 

with an opportunity not 

only to collect blood but 

also to have a chance to 

win a bursary for postsecondary 

education. 

Young said Deneiko 

signed up for the program 

and had to recruit 

a minimum of 25 blood 

donors during the summer 

months and have 

them donate. Deneiko 

was able to bring in current 

donors, new donors 

and people who had previously 

donated but had not 

recently given blood. 

Because of that effort, 

she was entered in for a 

bursary and later became 

a recipient of one. 

“It is very important. 

She brought in people and 

helped to meet the quota.” 

In fact, CBS had over 100 

per cent collection during 

that time. 

“It is an incentive to 

get young people to come 

out too.” 

Young said another initiative 

is available this 

year and that is to bleed 

green. Donors who attend 

clinics like the ones that 

will be held in Watrous 

Aug. 3 and then again Oct. 

27 can have their name entered 

in to win Saskatchewan 

Roughrider tickets. 

With the generation 

shift, a demographic 

movement will take place 

that will have a two-fold 

effect on the blood supply: 

more blood will be required 

and fewer donors 

will be available. 

Some of the most loyal 

donors, according to Canadian 

Blood Services, are 

those aged 45 to 54 and 

last year the average age 

of a donor was 41. Donors 

older than 50 accounted 

for 30 per cent of all whole 

blood donations. 

While people can begin 

donating blood when they 

turn 17, on average, that 

youth category donates 

1.62 times a year compared 

to 2.18 times for 

older groups. 

Last year 5.3 per cent of 

eligible 17 to 24 year olds 

donated blood compared 

to about 3.4 per cent of 

the overall eligible population 

in Canada. 

Of the over 422,000 

donors in the country last 

year, more than 85,500 

were aged 17 to 24 and account 

for 20 per cent of 

the donors in the country. 

Young said the idea is 

to get youth interested in 

donating when they are in 

high school. As students 

leave for post-secondary 

school, they can donate 

there and then when they 

return to small towns it 

is almost like coming full 

circle. 

Kolynchuk-Simpson 

said, “National Blood 

Donor Week is our opportunity 

to show appreciation 

for the generous Canadians 

who donate blood, 

plasma, platelets and 

stem cells, and to let them 

know how much their donation 

matters.” 

On a more global picture, 

over 80 million units 

of blood are donated 

every year, with just 38 

per cent being collected 

in developing countries 

where 82 per cent of the 

global population live. 

World Blood Donor Day, 

which takes place today 

(June 14), has been dedicated 

to those who voluntarily 

donate blood. Like 

National Blood Donor 

Week, it aims to recognize 

voluntary blood donors 

who are the foundation of 

a safe blood supply. 

The day also coincides 

with the birth date of 

Karl Landsteiner, a pioneer 

of transfusion 

medicine. This year, Barcelona, 

Spain hosts the 

world event. 

Between National 

Blood Donor Week and the 

end of August, Canadian 

Blood Services needs 

23,174 donors to give blood 

in the province. 

The blood is used every 

day to treat patients with 

bleeding disorders, individuals 

undergoing 

surgery, transplant recipients, 

cancer patients, 

newborn babies, trauma 

patients such as motor 

collision victims and 

others.


Access to surgeon 

directory 

Saskatchewan patients 

can now easily find information 

about surgeons 

practising in the province, 

procedures they perform 

and their wait times. 

Health Minister Don 

McMorris unveiled an online 

“specialist directory” 

that helps patients work 

with their family doctors 

to choose the most appropriate 

surgeon. 

The specialist directory 

is available at www.health. 

gov.sk.ca/specialist-directory. 

For the first time, it allows 

the public to see surgical 

wait times for each 

surgeon currently practising 

in the province. About 

80 per cent of Saskatchewan 

surgeons also provided 

specific information 

about their practices, such 

as average wait times for 

a consultation and procedures 

they perform. 

“This resource empowers 

people to actively participate 

with their family 

doctor in selecting their 

surgeon, and make more 

informed decisions about 

their care,” McMorris 

said. “The directory shows 

patients which surgeons 

have the shortest wait 

times in their own health 

region or another region 

in Saskatchewan. It can 

also help avoid situations 

where people wait to see a 

specialist, only to find out 

the surgeon does not provide 

their particular procedure.” 

Patients still require 

a referral from a family 

physician to see a specialist. 

“The specialist directory 

is an important resource 

when discussing treatment 

options with patients, as 

the information available 

makes it much easier to 

find an appropriate surgeon 

to refer patients to,” 

Saskatchewan Medical 

Association vice president 

and a family practice physician 

in Yorkton Dr. Phillip 

Fourie said. “Patients are 

leaving my office knowing 

how long they can expect 

to wait for their consult, 

which is very reassuring.” 

“This specialist directory 

is a great step forward,” 

former surgical 

patient from Saskatoon 

who is involved with the 

Saskatchewan Surgical 

Initiative Doug Denk said. 

“It’s another tool for reducing 

wait times for surgery 

and another way to 

put the patient first. As a 

patient representative I am 

very proud to be part of an 

initiative that is working, 

and in a short time is showing 

positive results.” 

Non-surgical specialists 

will be added to the directory 

in the future. Wait time 

information displayed for 

all surgeons is drawn from 

the Saskatchewan Surgical 

Registry, which tracks all 

surgeries performed in 

hospital operating rooms 

in the province. 

The initiative is supported 

by the Saskatchewan 

Surgical Initiative 

(SkSI), the province’s plan 

to transform the surgical 

patient experience and ensure 

that by 2014, no one 

has to wait more than three 

months for surgery. The 

SkSI is the first major project 

launched as a result of 

the Patient First Review. 

Help needed for rescued dogs 

June 4, 2010, Saskatchewan Society for the Prevention 

of Cruelty to Animals (Saskatchewan SPCA) 

seized more than 80 dogs from a breeder operating in 

east-central Saskatchewan. 

The veterinarian who assessed the dogs Friday morning 

agreed the animals were in distress and ordered 

their removal from the owner. The animals were taken 

to Saskatoon SPCA, where they are receiving care. 

The investigation in this case is ongoing and charges 

are pending. 

“The cost to rescue these dogs was over $25,000,” 

says Saskatchewan SPCA executive director Frances 

Wach. “Now we are faced with the massive cost for the 

ongoing care these dogs require. It is costing over $800 

a day to take care of (them). The health and safety of 

these animals is our primary concern.” 

Your help is needed today! Anyone who is willing to 

assist in any way is urged to contact Saskatoon SPCA 

at 374-7387. Volunteers are required to help with grooming, 

walking dogs, cleaning cages and other day-to-day 

tasks. If you are not able to assist directly, please consider 

a financial contribution to Saskatoon SPCA or to 

the new Emergency Rescue Fund established by Saskatchewan 

SPCA. Donations to this fund will be used 

for costs associated with their rescue and ongoing care 

and feeding. 

Contributions can be made to the Emergency Rescue 

Fund by phone: 1-877-382-7722 (or in the Saskatoon area 

382-7722), by mail at Box 37, Saskatoon, Sask. S7K 3K1 or 

online at www.sspca.ca

RCMP remind community of Internet scams 

The RCMP are reminding 

the public to use 

caution when conducting 

business over the Internet, 

especially when buying 

and selling items via 

online classified ad sites. 

There are several different 

types of mass marketing 

frauds in operation 

throughout the province, 

and the one most recently 

reported to have occurred 

in the Watrous area is 

termed an ‘Overpayment 

Scam’. This particular 

fraud is any incident involving 

a consumer selling 

merchandise or a 

service and receiving a 

payment in the form of 

a counterfeit cashier’s 

cheque, personal cheque 

or corporate cheque from 

the “purchaser” in an 

amount in excess of the 

amount owed. The seller 

is then asked to deposit 

the cheque and send the 

excess funds immediately 

back to the purchaser or 

the purchaser’s agent or 

shipper by way of a commercial 

money transfer 

service or a financial institution’s 

on-line banking 

money transfer service. 

Eventually the deposited 

cheque is subsequently 

returned as counterfeit 

and charged back to the 

seller’s account. 

“As with most cyber 

crimes, it relies on the 

ability of an offender 

to remain anonymous”, 

says Cst. Diduck of the 

Watrous Detachment. 

“The uses of false and 

stolen identities, as well 

as jurisdictional issues, 

all affect our ability to 

identify a suspect.” 

The RCMP recommends 

people educate 

themselves as to the different 

types of frauds so 

they are better able to protect 

themselves and their 

money. Information can 

10063MF02 

be found on the RCMP’s 

website www.rcmp.ca as 

well as at the Canadian 

Anti-Fraud Call Centre 

(Phonebusters) website 

www.phonebusters.com 

There is no typical 

fraud victim and your 

risk of becoming a victim 

is not linked to your age, 

ethnicity, income or geographic 

location. Fraudsters 

do not care about 

any of that - they just 

want your money.

OBITUARY 

BAUML, 

Herbert Jacob (Herb) 

Herbert Bauml, aged 

88 years, passed away 

peacefully at St. Paul’s 

Hospital, Saskatoon on 

Friday, June 4, 2010 in the 

presence of family. 

Herb was born on 

November 21, 1921 in Humboldt, 

Sask. and grew up 

in Marysburg, playing 

and coaching baseball and 

hockey. He married Anne 

Musty in 1957. Herb operated 

the local general store in 

Marysburg until the fall of 1966 when the family moved 

to Watrous where Herb and Anne ran the local IGA food 

store until retirement in 1987. Golfing, cards and watching 

sports (especially those involving his grandchildren) 

were Herb’s favourite past times. 

Herb is survived by his loving wife Anne; their six 

children Kathy (Alan), Marlin (Karen), Marianne (Fraser), 

James (Bonnie), Brad (Jacky), Susan (Jeff); 13 

grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; brother Gary 

(Serena) and sisters Hedy and Rose. 

He was predeceased by his parents Jacob and Katie 

along with brothers Danny and Jerome. 

Vigil for the deceased was held June 7 at St. Ann’s Roman 

Catholic Church. Eulogy was given by Marianne 

Bauml-Murray, James Bauml and Brad Bauml. Jacky 

McArthur-Bauml was the reader. 

The Mass of the Christian Burial was held at St. Ann’s 

Roman Catholic Church on June 8 conducted by Father 

Joseph Choji and Father Les Paquin. 

Honourary pallbearers were Herb’s golf, curling, 

cribbage and coffee row friends. Collin Sather was urnbearer. 

Register attendants were Ivan and Janet Sookeroff 

and Kevin and Marg Harcourt. Earle Amendt Sr. and 

John Beattie were ushers. Readers were Kohl Bauml and 

Shaye Bauml. Bonnie Ullyott was organist and guitarist 

was Sylvia Dubeczy. John McArthur was soloist accompanied 

by Kathy Sather. 

Interment took place at Assumption Roman Catholic 

Cemetery in Marysburg. 

Memorial donations directed to Camp Easter Seal or 

Watrous Community Health Foundation would be appreciated. 

Fotheringham-McDougall Funeral Service of Watrous 

and Nokomis was in care of arrangements. 

DREGER, 

John (Johnny) 

John (Johnny) Dreger, 

aged 82 years, passed away 

at Watrous Union Hospital 

on Saturday, June 5, 2010. 

John was born October 

25, 1927 in Watrous to 

Henry and Marie Dreger. 

John resided in Simpson 

for most of his life until 

his health started to fail. 

He moved to Mandal House 

in Watrous for a while and 

resided in Saskatoon for 

a few years before returning to Watrous to live in the 

Manitou Lodge where he resided at the time of his passing. 

John worked at various jobs in his life as a labourer. 

He was last employed at the Canadian Wildlife Service at 

Last Mountain Lake as a maintenance man. He enjoyed 

the outdoors, going for drives, playing crib and keeping 

his yard neat and tidy. He especially enjoyed spending 

time with his family. 

John leaves to mourn: sisters Rosie, Aileen (Bob), 

Elsie and sisters-in-law Lydia and Lorna; brothers Eddie 

(Irene), Evolt, Vernie, Norman (Diana), Harold (Faye), 

all his special nieces and nephews and numerous other 

family members. 

He was predeceased by his parents Henry and Marie; 

sisters Bertha, Edith, Dora, Margaret, Marlene, Helen; 

sister-in-law Irene; brothers Bill, Walter and Robert; 

brothers-in-law Steve, Harold, Ralph and Fred and 

nephews Ricky, Ronnie, Larry and Maynard. 

At John’s request there will be no funeral service. 

Cremation will take place and a private family interment 

at a later date. 

Memorial donations directed to the Watrous Community 

Health Foundation would be appreciated.

Up in 

smoke 

Billowing smoke 

mars the evening 

sky June 1 as 

the Watrous Fire 

Department keeps 

watch on a row of 

burning vehicles 

(top). The event 

was part of a 

professionaldevelopment 

seminar held at 

Manitou Beach the 

week of June 2 to 4. 

Susan Struthers of 

Watrous was one of 

the individuals 

hired to provide 

security at the site; 

she captured this 

part of the session 

during one of her 

eight-hour shifts. 

The purpose of 

burning the vehicles 

was to allow fire 

investigators to 

examine them 

the next day, 

providing a more 

realistic training 

experience. Later, 

an individual 

vehicle was set 

aflame, as were 

a number of 

structures, again 

to examine fire’s 

behaviour in a 

controlled setting. 

This time, Earl 

Hayhurst captured 

the action, as he 

also provided 

security detail.

Water levels 

should begin to 

recede: SWA 


TWM 

Boaters, swimmers, tourists and especially residents 

at lakes throughout the province have been 

watching water levels creep higher and higher as record 

rains have continued to fall. 

In the Watrous area, according to Environment 

Canada, April received 73 millimetres of rain, followed 

by a downpour in May of 139 mm. Those two 

months accounted for over eight inches of rain and set 

a record for the most precipitation during that time 

period. June picked up where May left off and until 

June 9, 18 millimeters had already fallen with more 

coming down June 10. 

With those amounts, similar to others around the 

province, lakes and reservoirs have been filling up. 

That holds true for Little Manitou Lake and even Last 

Mountain Lake, which has had high local runoff from 

the Arm River and Lanigan, Saline and Lewis creeks. 

Foreman at Manitou Beach Keith Polley said the 

water levels there have risen a lot higher than he or 

others have seen before. 

To help curb that, crews are “just shoring up the 

two bathrooms close to the lake,” along with manholes 

near the lakefront. “We are monitoring it right now to 

see where we are at.” If water levels do rise, crews will 

take extra measures to prevent water from making its 

way further onto shore. 

Polley said people wanting to use the beach should 

be careful around the playground equipment at the 

main area because it is partially underwater. Parents 

are also encouraged to watch their children near the 

shore because the water has risen significantly and is 

now on top of places that would normally be dry. 

Meanwhile, according to the Saskatchewan Watershed 

Authority, Arm River, Lanigan, Saline and Lewis 

From front page: JANSEN MINE 

That method involves cutting rooms 

into the potash bearing zones, leaving a 

series of pillars to support the mine roof. 

As mining continues, a grid-like pattern 

of rooms and pillars will form underground. 

Ground freezing is going to be done later 

this year to sink the mining shafts safely 

and successfully because of the presence 

of local aquifers common to the region. 

A tab of $240 million has been committed 

to support ongoing engineering studies, 

regulatory permitting and the completion 

of the ground freezing process. 

While the Jansen project is furthest 

advanced, the company also has other 

works on the go with Boulder and Young 

- located around Watrous and Young - in 

the concept study phase. 

The Burr project, adjacent to BHP’s

Water is lapping further than usual up the beach at Little 

Manitou Lake, where water levels are as high as they have 

creeks have all peaked and are in recession. 

Last Mountain Lake was also expected to peak last 

week and has begun a slow recession. However, Dale 

Hjertaas, executive director of policy and communications 

for the watershed said the drop will greatly depend 

on the rainfall and runoff over the next week. 

With high water levels, the Craven control structure 

has also been wide open since the end of May. The 

flows on the Qu’Appelle River below Craven finally 

exceeded the flows on the Qu’Appelle River upstream 

near Lumsden, which meant last week water was 

Jansen project, northeast of Watrous and 

near Lanigan, was acquired earlier this 

year and is under review in the company’s 

full potash developmental portfolio. Another 

area that was also acquired is near 

Melville and exploration is set to begin 

there next month. 

President of BHP Diamonds and Specialty 

Products Graham Kerr said, “Jansen 

is the most advanced project in our potash 

development portfolio and is backed up 

by our other greenfield projects at Boulder 

and Young, and the rest of our land 

position. We believe Saskatchewan could 

be the next long life, low cost expandable 

basin play for BHP Billiton. Today’s announcement 

indicates a considerable high 

grade resource which will provide BHP 

Billiton a significant entry into the potash 

industry.”

draining from Last Mountain Lake to help relieve high 

water levels. 

Resort lakes where many local residents spend time 

like Candle, Anglin, Emma and Christopher are well 

above their operating ranges. Efforts have been made 

on these lakes through dam operations to reduce water 

levels as quickly as possible. 

Hjertaas said depending on the systems, the levels 

are high and at Waldsea Lake where the water has nowhere 

to go, it is pushing up to the berms that were 

created in 2007.
