The program is fairingwell in the rural areas, butwe always are cognizantof the continual educationaspect to inform peoplehow this is their programand how it works for you inyour community.”In fact, the statistics reflectthe program’s successover the years. Areas outsideof Saskatoon, Regina,Prince Albert and MooseJaw have been operatingsince 1987 and since thenColeman said, “We haveseen 17,271 tips, 2,841 arrestsmade, 3,282 casescleared and 1,075 chargeslaid with the assistancefrom Crime Stoppers. Thisresulted in helping recover$7,956,477 worth of propertyand seize $7,850,993worth of drugs for a totalof $15,807,370.”Coleman said withthose types of numbers heis encouraged the programwill continue to be successfulin the coming year.“As we continue to get themessage out and peoplelearn the program is trulyanonymous, yes. (We are)looking forward to beingable to work with the communityin dealing with unwantedbehaviour in theircommunities.”Thanks to the highnumber of tips, Colemansaid the message is gettingout. When people call, textor submit a tip online toCrime Stoppers they arenot contacting the police.A tip number is then providedand that is the onlyidentifier for future contact.All that is passed topolice is the informationabout the criminal activity.“Down the road, if the tipis positive and the boarddecides on a cash award,it is all provided throughthe tip number identifier.Names are never given.”With a new decade beginning,major changeshave occurred over theyears. According to Coleman,that includes theadoptation of the 1-800-222-8477 number across thecountry for consistency.Also, “The introductionof online tips where youcan attach digital photographsand have a two-wayconversation and text tips- another area of two-wayconversation that is anonymous.“With online tips andtext tips, there is no directcommunication; rather, amessage is sent to a computerserver where it is immediatelyscrambled. Thepersons then are accessingmessages left for them onthe server. They are alwaysanonymous.”Also this year, the organization’swebsite www.saskcrimestoppers.comhas been updated. Keepingin mind some areas ofthe province are not yeton high speed, the techniciansmade the site easy toload. “There are featuressuch as the rotating photographsacross the top, anarea for homicides, unsolvedcrimes, wanted personsand missing persons,which has links to othermissing persons sites inthe country.”Coleman said CrimeStoppers offers an anonymousavenue whereinformation on any type ofcrime can be provided andthe tipster’s safety is neverjeopardized.

6 • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2010 THE WATROUS MANITOUSports and RecreationTHE POINTThe parade route wasset and New OrleansSaints’ fans were rewardedwith their firstever championship afterbeating the IndianapolisColts in this year’s SuperBowl game.The game itself was agood one, featuring twohigh flying offences, greatdefence and some trickeryincluding an onside kickby New Orleans to startthe second half.Even if you were not afan of the two teams, froma football standpoint it was a classic between the topseeded teams in the league. In fact, it was such a goodgame that ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Super Bowlwas watched by more than 106 million people, surpassingthe 1983 finale of M*A*S*H to become the mostwatchedprogram in TV history!That number also bodes well for the advertisers thatput commercials onto screens across the nation. In theUnited States, companies wanting a 30-second spot hadto cough up around $3 million for the time slot. Likeany year there were some duds but for the most partthere were some really funny commercials. For me, Iliked the Doritos commercial involving the kid whoslapped his mom’s boyfriend after he picked up a chip.I also liked the Denny’s commercials that had chickensscreaming across the states because free grand slamswere being offered by the restaurant chain.Aside from the hype of the game and the ads, it wasnot a great welcoming for the losing Colts when theyreturned home. Unlike the ‘Riders who had numerouspeople awaiting their arrival back from Calgary afterthey fell to Montreal, USA Today reported that only 11people attended the Colts’ homecoming at the airport- that sounds like the number of Oilers’ fans whoattended their team’s last home game! Sorry, could notresist.Regardless, for football fans, the long offseasonbegins. While CFL free agency has officially begun,football training camp and preseason will start aroundthe beginning of June, a long ways away.Speaking of training camp, it was mentioned thatthere is a chance Saskatoon could be hosting the ‘Riderstraining camp this year - something that wouldbe a treat for the fans and supporters in central andnorthern Saskatchewan to take in.I remember when the green and white held a smallportion of their camp in Saskatoon a couple of yearsago and it was a neat experience to attend and to seehow the players stacked up against each other. It wasalso cool to get the chance to interview some of theteam members and coaching staff.More potential moves for the ‘Riders. It was mentionedlast week that Kavis Reed and Jamie Barresiare joining Paul LaPolice in Winnipeg while formerBlue Bomber head coach Doug Berry will be Saskatchewan’snext offensive coordinator. Thumbs up forBerry coming here, thumbs down for more departures.Switching gears and the Saskatchewan WinterGames in Moose Jaw are officially underway. The zoneencompassing Watrous and area has local representationin badminton, curling, judo and hockey. If youare in the Moose Jaw area, check out some of the localtalent taking on the rest of the province. Also comingup at the start of next month will be high school mixedprovincial curling in Watrous. Organizers have beenbusy getting everything into place and it should be anexcellent event with some awesome curling.Also rolling are the Winter Olympics in B.C. andwhile there are a ton of different events to watch, Ithink I will stick to two: hockey and curling. I like theother events but my main focus is on those. I thinkboth the men’s and women’s squads should be inmedal contention - a possible four medals - but there isalso potential for upsets to happen. In women’s hockeyit will be a Canada and United States final while on themen’s side look out for Russia, Canada, United Statesand Finland as your top teams.The two curling rinks from Canada will also farewell going toe-to-toe with some of the world’s finest.I think I will also catch some of the figure skatingevents too, only because when I asked my wife whatsports she wanted to watch, that was the one that cameto her mind right away.Regardless, enjoy cheering for the red and white- no, I am not talking about the Montreal Canadiens- and hopefully there will be more surprises thandisappointments for Canada’s athletes.Let me know what you think and send me an emailat dan.twm@sasktel.net.That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to thepoint!AFTERTaking aimThe Winston junior boys curling team is hard at work asthey competed at the district championship in Raymore.The team took on some familiar rinks along the way tothe district finals.-TWM photo by Nicole Lay‘Hawks focus on playoffs/provincialsBy Daniel BushmanTWMDespite dropping theirlast two games to finishthe season, the WatrousWinterhawks are hopingto make some noise in theplayoffs.The ‘Hawks fell 7-3against LeRoy Feb. 6 intheir final tune up, gettinggoals from Scott Brownlee,Patrick Ullyott and RyanRiley.With the defeat, Watrousfinished sixth overall at10-14 and scored 101 goalswhile giving up a total of116.

Thattype of activity is something the club does when a largemilestone like the town’s 100th birthday takes place.They also run the food booth at the rink, but minorhockey takes over during their games and receives a portionof the money.Penrose said the Kinsmen help with some Telemiraclefundraising and their national charity deals withcystic fibrosis. The organization is truly a benefit to thearea, said Penrose. “Absolutely. It does a lot of good forthe community.”Meanwhile, Watrous Kinette president Jodie Molsberrysaid they are up to 24 members and meet on thefirst Tuesday of the month. The group ranges in age andevery year has a lot of activities on the go.Molsberry said they run a babysitting course, craftand trade show and recently a ladies spa night. “Thatwas a fun night.”The ladies also put out an ‘uncovered’ calendar andhold trip of the month draws. Manitou Lodge is also afrequent stop during holiday seasons and making peopleaware of being a block parent is also on their list - a numberMolsberry hopes will grow.One of their largest events, though, is helping at Telemiracle.Molsberry said this year, “Most of our girls will goand work registration (in Regina). When other clubscome in we register everyone. We also try to raise asmuch money as we can.”The annual soup and sandwich lunch for Telemiraclebrought in around $1,000 this year and more money wasraised from the Coffee House held Feb. 12.The Kinettes, together with the Kinsmen, helped toupdate the park by purchasing equipment for kids to useand then painted the swing sets and the gazebo locatedat the park.Molsberry agrees with Penrose that joining the cluballows people to do things that better the community. Shealso has “made some really great friends. You developlifelong friendships and meet people you would not normallyseek out.”The president said she would love to have more peoplecome out and join the group and a potential membershipdrive is being looked at for this year.For more information on the local Kinettes, peoplecan log on to www.watrouskin.com79Receive up to%Some conditions apply*THICKER.
