The pandemic known as H1N1 has started to take hold in Saskatchewan as confirmed cases have been popping up everywhere.
The influenza, an infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused
by the H1N1 virus, was identified in Canada in May and found earlier in other countries. Most illness is mild, but severe disease and
deaths have occurred, prompting the province and the Saskatoon
Health Region to order doses of the H1N1 vaccine.
Regions/schools affected
Last week, Dr. Shauna Hudson of the Sun Country Health Region
told the Star Phoenix there were 48 lab-confirmed cases in their
health region, all of them mild to moderate. The average age of those
with lab-confirmed cases is 17.9 years. Hudson said 11 towns and two
cities in that area had cases. Six schools in the region also reported
greater than 10 per cent absenteeism from illness.
The notification from schools to their divisions and health regions
allows officials to monitor the range of illness. The absent students
certainly might not have H1N1 but Hudson said most could.
Faces were also absent in various classrooms in Winston High
School last week as students stayed home from classes. Principal
Phil Gleim said 18 kids were ill last Wednesday, which was over 10
per cent of the school. Gleim said most were from the Gr. 8 and Gr.
9 classes and all appeared to have flu-like symptoms. He said they
have hand sanitizers set up in each classroom and soap to use in the
washrooms. The janitor also disinfected desks, keyboards and other
surfaces and parents are being contacted if their child comes to the
school showing flu-like symptoms. Gleim said he has been pleased so
far by the parents’ decisions to keep kids home who do have flu-like
symptoms.
He said WHS was not the only one feeling the effects as one other
school was advised not to send students to a playoff volleyball tour-

nament last week. The principal said with kids feeling sick, extracurricular programs could suffer as attendance is lower.
Meanwhile, across the street at Watrous Elementary School, principal Rob McGregor said so far it has been about the same as any
other year at this point. McGregor said a few students have gone
home from sickness but are back in a few days ready to go again. He
said the school has taken precautions by getting hand sanitizers and
reminding students how to care for themselves. The principal did
say in talking to other teachers around the province last week, there
have been schools where up to 75 kids have been missing.
Getting the immunization shot
Each resident in Saskatchewan has the opportunity to get vaccinated against the H1N1 influenza virus during the coming weeks,
without having to pay.
In Watrous and the Saskatoon Health Region, health workers
were inoculated last week against the virus and starting Nov. 9, immunization clinics will begin for the following high risk groups:
people under 65 years of age with chronic conditions like cardiac
or respiratory disorders, diabetes and other metabolic diseases, cancer, immunodeficiency, renal disease, anemia, conditions treated for
long periods with ASA and severe obesity; children over six months
and up to five years old; persons living in remote and isolated communities; and household contacts and care providers for those at
high risk who cannot be immunized.
Pregnant women are eligible for vaccination but should wait for
the unadjuvanted vaccine to become available in mid-November.
However, if there is a higher risk of infection before it is shipped,
then a recommendation will be made that pregnant women in the
last half of pregnancy receive the adjuvanted influenza vaccine.
High risk clinics are planned at the Humboldt Uniplex

Elections held across province
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Voters went to the polls
last week, deciding who
should lead their respective communities as elections were held for mayoral
and councillor positions.
Residents in the communities of Allan, Bradwell, Clavet, Colonsay,
Drake, Holdfast, Imper-
ial, Liberty, Viscount and
Young cast their ballots
Oct. 28, while other places
in the Watrous Manitou
readership area, such as
Watrous, already had their
council in place for a threeyear term.
In Horizon School Division, local subdivisions
were also acclaimed.
Looking at the results:

Busy year, plans for 2010:
Watrous Horticultural Society windup
submitted by Lety Schalm
The local group of gardeners met for a potluck
supper recently to wrap up
the past year of activities.
It was a busy year for the
group as they took on a few
extra projects because of
Watrous’ 100th birthday.
Along with the usual projects at the rose gardens, Legion Park flower bed, lodge
planters and two plant
sales, there was a strictly
apple cookbook published,
as well as some planning
and financing of tree planting at the Rotary walking
trail rest area. The Saturday of the centennial celebrations the group hosted
a saskatoon pie, shortcake
and ice cream feast at the
Anglican hall. Once again
this was a popular venue.
Reports were shared
regarding
the
recent
SHA Convention held in
Nipawin. Joan Hanson
and Lety Schalm were the
Watrous delegates present.
Various local speakers
made presentations on
market gardens, lily and
gladioli growing and garlic
growing and processing. It
was a very informative and
enjoyable two days in yet
another vibrant Saskatchewan community.
The following have
let their names stand as
executive for 2009-2010: Iris
Ernst - chair, Cynthia Kulrich - secretary and Joan
Hanson - treasurer. Another interesting year is in
the works as the Watrous
group has agreed to host
the annual SHA Convention in the fall of 2010. This
event could bring some 60
to 100 delegates to town
Oct. 15 and 16. The committee will be gathering ideas
for speakers and other entertainment to make this
a memorable convention.
Watrous last hosted this
event in 1999 and followed
by hosting the provincial
Garden Show in 2001.
The final meeting of
the year was also an opportunity to recognize a
local gardener that has
been a member since 1976.
Neta Broadfoot (right) was
presented with a lifetime
membership in recognition of her contribution to
the club. She has been an
active exhibitor winning
various awards in the vegetable, rose, cut flowers and
dahlia categories as well
as “best plate of potatoes”.
This past year her artwork
was featured throughout
the club’s apple cookbook
project. Appreciation was
expressed for the various
talents that she has willingly shared over the years.
Manitou Beach council notebook
This column will be a bi-monthly feature to update
residents and all readers of the activities and points of interest arising from council and administrative activities
in the Resort Village of Manitou Beach.
We are waiting for the construction permit for our new
lagoon that will allow us to begin. Ed’s Contracting from
Raymore was awarded the contract and would have begun
this fall, except for a couple of delays. We were asked to
conduct a heritage study (now completed and approved)
and were informed that we had to go through a First Nations consultation, which is currently in progress. The result is that construction may not start until next spring.
Funding for the new $2.37 million lagoon is in place
due to the Building Canada Fund - Provincial/Territorial
Base Fund. The cost will be shared equally between the
federal, provincial and local governments.
Improvements to Wellington Park are near completion.
Playground equipment has been centralized and the uneven ground has been filled, leveled and seeded to grass.
Motorists speeding within the village continues to be a
problem. Council has begun to review traffic patterns and
control signs and will have any necessary improvements
in place by spring.
Council is working with Watrous town council and the
RM of Morris to develop a vision, mandate and structure
for an economic development officer.
Normal fall road gravelling has been done and we have
been flushing and video viewing sewer lines. The pictures
have helped us find one old clay sewer line that must be
replaced because it is allowing tree roots to affect its operation. This is an expense we did not need at this time;
however, we will systematically review the sewer infrastructure in this way to ensure effective operations and
environmental responsibility.
Being an all new council we have a long list of issues
we would like to address and complete so we all can enjoy
and be proud of our village. To accomplish our objectives
council will be experimenting with a new meeting format.
The meeting on the first Wednesday of each month will be
for proactive planning and the meeting on the third Wednesday of each month will be a regular business meeting.
A few items on our proactive planning list include:
how to remove algae from
the water and the beaches,
infrastructure
improvement in our business area,

signage, proper drainage

Editorial and Opinion
Just Layzing Around
A trip to the city last Tuesday,
with a son immersed in his book
and a husband catching a few
winks (relax - I was driving)
afforded an opportunity to be
alone with my own thoughts for
almost an hour. As frightening
a place as my mind can sometimes be, it was a pleasure to
allow my musings to wander of
their own accord, briefly alighting on one topic or another
before flitting off to ponder
another.
I cannot recall much of what
I contemplated while heading
towards Saskatoon, but I vividly
remember the three crosses
that adorn the intersection of
Hwy. 16 and the Bradwell road.
Not only did they jolt me back
to reality very quickly, but also they served as a somber lesson to
drivers everywhere and at all times: the vehicle in which we travel
is a deadly weapon, and our lives can change in the blink of an eye
while on the road.
I have never been able to understand people’s resistance to laws
or ideas to make driving a safer activity for everyone on the road.
Speed limits, seatbelts, drinking and driving laws, cell phone bans:
all are in place to make those out on our shared roadways less vulnerable.
As it is, operating a vehicle is hardly a worry-free chore. The
possibilities of mechanical failure, wildlife, others’ inattention,
traffic congestion, weather issues, road repairs - or disrepairs,
I should say: all combine to create the perfect storm - in this case,
an accident waiting to happen.
You might, by this point, be saying, “Bah - this girl is a paranoid
nervous wreck. I’ve been driving x-number of years and have never
had an accident.” Yes, well, that’s why they are called accidents,
not on-purposes. One hardly goes out with the intention of getting
hurt or causing someone else’s pain. But the reality exists: in 2007,
Saskatchewan Government Insurance reported 142 deaths in Saskatchewan as a result of traffic collisions. And although I could not
find documentation, I would hazard a guess that non-lethal injuries number in the thousands - each year. But we don’t think about
those numbers - we don’t even like to, because we have to drive to
work, to appointments, to sporting and cultural events, and our
vehicles and roadways are the only option for many of us.
Just because an activity such as driving is part of our mundane
daily reality, however, does not mean we should pay less attention
to its careful execution. In fact, those actions so rote as to become
‘background noise’ are the ones we are most likely to bungle. We
tune out while tuning in the radio; we zone out while compiling a
grocery list in our minds; we’re ‘miles away’ while putting on the
miles. But in the blink of an eye, there’s a deer . . . or a slow-moving
tractor . . . or an icy patch . . . or a child on a bike . . . and then
there’s that awful moment that can never be taken back.
Slow down, wake up, buckle up, hang up - do whatever it takes.
Don’t be the cause of the next cross by the road.

Bake sales hold special place in heart
Neighbourly
News
As volunteers, many of
us have spent our fair share
of time either baking for a
bake sale or manning the
table. This was a popular
form of fundraising at
one time, which is rather
surprising because most
moms stayed at home in
those days and so had lots
of time to bake. Today, when
both parents work and time
for baking is at a premium,
bake sales are not so popular - go figure.
However, this fundraising
event is getting the boot in
New York City schools. That
is right. The powers that be
have decided that it is necessary to reduce students’
intake of sugar and fat and
have decided to ban bake
sales. All this in an attempt
to curb obesity.
Gone are cupcakes,
chocolate cake, tarts - even
a healthy zucchini bread is
not allowed. So the SRC is
forced to find alternative
methods of acquiring funds
for their activities. The
Parent-Teacher Association is in the same boat, not
having access to sell baked
goods at sports events and
other school functions. A
typical weekday could net
around $500.
While it is true baking is
often high in sugar and fat
and loaded with calories,
bake sales teach children
some important values. It
was during my 4-H days
when club members raised
funds through this method

business skills.
One group decided to expand on the actual bake sale
by publishing a cookbook of
recipes from items brought
to the sale. Some of the favourites included angel food
cake, chocolate chip cookies
and brownies.
Bake sales are not just
for group fundraisers either.
Many garage sales now have
goodies such as individually-wrapped rice krispie
squares or cookies along
with a beverage.
One supporter of the
bake sale wrote: “Bake sales

How ta look at the news
by Gene Hauta
A Canadian public employees’ union
local had been on strike in Toronto for
weeks causing a popular public park to
fall into disuse because of high grass and
lack of maintenance. The neighbours had
enough and brought their own mowers to
the park and cleaned it up, making it once
again a valuable community resource for
dog-walking, ball-playing and picnics. The
local union’s president told the media,
“You could use the word ‘scab.’”
A man in MacClenny, Fla. was paid
about $150 every two weeks to haul euthanized animals from a Jacksonville
veterinary clinic to a landfill. Because
he had to buy fuel for his truck and pay
landfill fees, Adam Mallett, 22, figured
each trip would cost him $50. So he started
dumping dead pets at a sprawling hunting
site leased from a timber company. A man
running his dog on the hunting grounds
encountered dozens of household pets
wrapped in plastic trash bags. Mallett
was charged with five counts of unlawfully disposing of dead animals and five
counts of trespassing, one count for each
trip he is accused of making to the hunting grounds.
Police in Florida arrested a woman
for attacking a smoker with sprayed air
freshener. “The woman was charged
with assault-and-potpourri,” joked Paul
Seaburn.
Lee County sheriff ’s Cpl. Scott Heimlich was viewing porn at work in his Florida office. If he had not been greedy, he
might have got away with
it. Of 857 pornographic
images on his hard drive,
619 were downloaded July
9. That was just before the
sheriff ’s technical support
team noticed that the servers began running unusually slowly. Sgt. Michael
Stanforth described Heimlich as “honest, apologetic
and fired.” Not all choked
up?
A conservation officer
from the Indiana DNR
stopped a boater on the
Geist Reservoir at 11 p.m.
for failing to have working
navigational lights. The
boater repeatedly argued
that he was a police officer
and that the arresting officer should show some “professional courtesy.” A citation was issued to Adam
Goldstein, 37, anyway. Allegedly angered, Goldstein
went home, changed into
his Lawrence Township
police unifor m (he was
in training as an unpaid
reserve officer), grabbed
a squad car from the station, and drove it to the
Geist Marina to confront the DNR officer.
Goldstein was quickly arrested for public intoxication, and prosecutors added
other charges, including drunk driving
in the squad car, and, falsely presenting
himself as a police officer. Goldstein has
been dismissed from the police force but
was able to stay on the school board.
In Michigan, a man was sentenced to
jail for impersonating his dead brother
for several years. “Really?” asked Bill Mihalic. “How did he stay still for so long?”
In Joliet, an Illinois judge has freed a
man who had been in jail for three weeks
because he let out a loud yawn during
a sentencing hearing. Clifton Williams,
33, was found in contempt of court after
yawning in Daniel Rozak’s court.
Manatee County deputies in Florida
thought Jamie Vickers looked just like
the guy who held up two banks in Bradentown. However, the robber was cleanshaven and Vickers had a goatee when he
was arrested a week after the holdup. The
discrepancy was so stark that a circuit
court judge basically threw it out of court.
Vickers, 41, complained that cellmates
at the Manatee County Jail called him
“chia pet” because they doubted his ability to grow so much hair in such a short
time. Eventually, deputies arrested Roger
Woodrow Jones, 55, for the crime.
Until Mayor Sharon McShurley recently changed the protocol, fire stations in
Muncie, Ind., had been delivering reports
to department headquarters downtown
by dropping them off in fire engines.
McShurley ordered the department to
learn how to send reports by email. On
a similar note, the NYPD spent $99,000
on a typewriter repair contract, which
will take on increasing importance since
last year NYPD bought thousands of new
typewriters, manual and electric, costing
the city almost $1 million. The NYPD still
is not even close to computerizing some of
its daily-use forms.
Two Chinese women worked at the
same factory in the city of Zhengzhou.
They became good friends, but never
visited each other. They knew the other
was married and that their husbands both
worked in the same factory. It turned out
that the two women were married to the
same man, Cui Bin, 42. Cui had first married Zhang Dandan, but she could only
give him a daughter and he desperately
wanted a son. “Due to China’s one baby
per family policy I had to find another
woman secretly,” he admitted. So he married Wang Na and got his son. He divided
his time between the two households making up excuses for his absences. Besides
facing the wrath of two upset women, Cui
went to jail for three months for bigamy.
“A study says that sunscreen use can
lead to Alzheimer’s disease,” noted Jim
Barach. “Which apparently is one reason
why George Hamilton is
still so mentally sharp at
his age.”
A Seattle bank teller lost
his job after chasing and
capturing a would-be bank
robber. Jim Nicholson, 30,
said he knew the bank’s
policy that workers comply
with robbery demands, but
said instinct took over and
he ran after the man and
knocked him over.
A man who stole a wad of
cash from a Christchurch
record store gave police an
easy trail to follow. Before
stealing the money, he had
reserved a Pink Floyd album by leaving his name
and phone number in a
book behind the counter.
The thief, a regular customer, was also caught on
CCTV cameras.
Chuck Shepherd called it
the World’s Toughest Job.
Farah Ahmed Omar was
appointed chief of Somalia’s navy, which ordinarily would be on the front
lines against the throng of
pirates operating off the
country’s coast. Omar’s
job is quite difficult, since the Somalian
navy has not a single boat nor a single
sailor and Omar himself has not been to
sea in 23 years. He did tell a reporter he
was optimistic that the piracy could be
stopped.
A retired Pomona police sergeant has
pleaded guilty to robbing two California
banks, through which he earned the
nickname The Grandpa Bandit. Frank
Holder, 62, was expected to get three years.
He will also have to repay about $4,000.
Holder retired in 2004 after 30 years with
the force.
Meanwhile, a Maryland judge may
soon find himself on the other side of
the bench. Charles County Circuit Court
Judge Robert C. Nalley has admitted that
he flattened the tire of a car that he repeatedly found parked in reserved spaces near
the courthouse. Nalley says he repeatedly
left notes but the owner of the car said he
had no warning.
“That Afghan immigrant they arrested
in Arizona had a how-to manual to turn
peroxide-based bleach into explosives,”
observed Dora Glasberg. “Kind of gives
new meaning to the term blonde bombshell.”

My beloved sweetheart
Bea,
Hello dearest! Here’s a
big kiss to greet you in the
morn and an “I love you”
to start the day right. How
are you feeling this morning honey? Did you have
pleasant dreams? You look
so lovely dearest, let me
just sit here and gaze into
those beautiful eyes and
on those golden tresses
flowing around your loving
face. Am I still dreaming,
or are you real? Pinch me,
dear! I want to make sure
you won’t fade away in a
dream, ow! That did it. Yes!
Dearest you’re lovelier than
I can ever find apt words to
adequately describe, and
do I love you! Here’s my
heart and here’s my X to
show you that I’m yours
sweet miss; and always
will, forever dear, for this,
and next, and every year,
“Love” you with this deep
devotion, that calls to you
across the ocean. How I love
your radiant charms, as I
hold you in my arms; And
tell you o’er and o’er my
dove of my deep undying
love.
Much later. Well dearest,
aren’t I the fortunate one
tho’. Got another afternoon
off so decided to do some
exploring again. If only you
could be with me when I get
a break like this, eh dear?
I just can’t get much kick
out of seeing pretty scenery alone. I know you feel
the same don’t you dear?
But despite this terribly
lonely feeling I often have,
I have a certain enjoyment
as I feel God’s presence
guiding me and that is always so comforting, isn’t
it dear? The great outdoors
is a wonderful study and I
am as you can see lapping
up as much as is possible.
Whenever I can get away
from the ship and into a
lovely quiet surrounding it
makes everything peaceful
inside. I’m sure you know
what I mean don’t you dear?
A countryside unspoiled by
human hands is truly an
awe-inspiring site. To get
out of town I took a train,
so I’m getting fairly well
travelled aren’t I dear?
Apparently these few
days we’ve had off were
a sort of rest, and I found
them just that. Not exactly a
holiday dear as we were required to return to the ship
by midnite so naturally
had to get up as per usual
and work until noon. Then
every third day as you know
is duty watch. But the afternoons I got off were very
nice and I feel I benefited by
them, as there’s really nothing as healthful as a good
long walk is there? You see
dear we haven’t had those
few days ‘actual leave” yet,
so I fully expect I may be
able to do at least some of
the travelling I previously
mentioned, I hope.
The news is certainly
good now isn’t it? So it
shan’t be long I’m sure before my loving Bea is tucked
under my arm and we’ll go
strolling thru some of the
lovely scenery we have at
home. After all there is no
place like home is there
dear? How very true that is.
You see m’ love despite the
fact that I’ve said o’er and
o’er the countryside here
is beautiful there are disadvantages, the chief one
being ‘rain’ and it surely
does know how to do that
very efficiently. So give me
Fort Billy, but above all give
me my girl of my dreams,
one very beautiful, sweet,
girlie, Bea and I’ll show
the world how happy I can
be. So sweetums here’s all
my fondest love and kisses
until that happy, happy day.
God bless you dear.
Your ever loving devoted
hubbie Ed

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Sports and Recreation
THE POINT
AFTER
Where to begin this
week? Well, first of all, it
seems that my column - or
at least the picture I use
- was compromised last
week. At least four other
people whom I will not
mention seemed to think
it was quite hilarious, but
we all know I am not the
only one who has a birthday. However, as one of the
engineers behind the swap
who will remain anonymous pointed out, she is the
only one who knows how
to send the paper to print.
But, thanks to a little thing called google, I am hoping to
change that.
All right, let’s get into some sports and helmets off
to the Winston High School football team. After a huge
win against Caronport, the team was slated to play
Biggar over the weekend. There was a lot of excitement
leading up to the matchup, not just from the players
but also the coaches, including assistant coach Doug
Thomas. Thomas was pumped to go and visit the field
as he previously taught, coached and lived there. Regardless of the outcome, the team came together during
the season and fielded a good squad.
Moving from the field to the turf, how about the Saskatchewan Roughriders? Who would have thought that
the Calgary Stampeders-‘Riders game that went into
double overtime would be topped?! Well, it was the very
next week, as B.C. and starter Casey Printers invaded
Mosaic Stadium only to be sent home after Printers
threw an interception in overtime, securing a ‘Riders
win. The green and white could host the western finals
for the first time since the Toronto Maple Leafs won the
Stanley Cup. Okay, maybe not quite that long ago, but
the last time the ‘Riders hosted a west final game was
back in 1976.
Some people reading this are saying, “C’mon Daniel,
another jab at Toronto.” Okay, for Leafs fans like my
brother-in-law Aaron and my Grandpa, I will say that
the team finally got their first win of the season! It only
took them until almost the end of October but they did
it against the Anaheim Ducks, beating them rather
handily.
Going from a team who finally got a win to a team
that is staying out of the losing column. Yes, I would
like to point out that the Calgary Flames are one of
those teams at the moment, but I am talking about the
surprise of the year so far in the Colorado Avalanche.
This team, according to pretty much everyone but the
team, was supposed to be horrible. Instead, over their
first 12 games, the team has gone 9-1-2 with the majority of those on the road. The team’s rookies are also
boarding with some of the wiley veterans perhaps to
keep them out of trouble. Captain Adam Foote has
taken in Matt Duchene, forward Darcy Tucker opened
his home to Ryan O’Reilly and Paul Stastny welcomed
T.J. Galiardi. The funny thing is Stastny, who has played
with the Avs since 2006-‘07 is just two years older than
Galiardi. This is what the younger of the two had to say
about it on nhl.com: “I know how ‘Footy’ took in ‘Duch,’
and ‘Tucks’ took in O’Reilly, but it’s pretty funny how
the guys talk about how Paulie took me in, when we’re
only two years apart.”
Speaking of another young professional player, the
NFL’s Mark Sanchez is 22 years old and quarterbacks
the New York Jets. During the Jets and Oakland Raiders
game a few weeks ago, Sanchez said he didn’t feel well
and needed something to eat. So the quarterback managed to get his hands on a stadium hot dog and cameras
caught him putting mustard on it while taking a bite on
the bench. After getting grilled once the game was over,
he apologized and said it would not happen again. Not
only that, but he took it one step further. Sanchez went
and bought 500 hot dogs and 500 hamburgers to go with
some buns and donated them to the Community Soup
Kitchen of Morristown, N.J.
Now that is a nice gesture, although I am not sure
how having a stadium hot dog can make a guy feel better.
The World Series officially got underway last week
with the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. The defending champs from Philly won the opener
6-1 and how good is pitcher Cliff Lee right now? Wow,
he was followed by veteran Pedro Martinez while the
Yankees countered with A.J. Burnett, a former Blue Jay.
I am pulling for the Phillies in this one.
The NBA season tipped off last week. I prefer watching March Madness over the NBA if given the choice
though. Now there is some mega heart in some of those
guys and it makes for entertaining ball. There should
be some good teams in the NBA this year. Cleveland

Volleyball playoffs underway
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
After bumping and digging through the season,
the playoff picture has
been set for school volleyball teams.
The senior girls league
season results had Imperial finish first at 10-0
followed by Young (5-5),
Watrous (5-5), Strasbourg
(4-6), Viscount (4-6) and
Nokomis at 2-8.
The top four meet this
week in Imperial for semifinals with the winners
advancing to league finals.
The matchups include
Strasbourg taking on Imperial and Watrous against
Young.
SHSAA playoff dates
have conference playdowns
Nov. 7, regionals Nov. 14
and provincials Nov. 20 to
21.
The senior boys regular
season also came to a close.
Out in front, Strasbourg
leads the league at 5-0 followed by Imperial (2-3) and
Punnichy (2-3). Playoffs
start Nov. 3 in Strasbourg
as Punnichy plays Imperial in a best-of-five with
the winner meeting Strasbourg in a best-of-five.
The conference event is
planned for Nov. 14, regionals potentially Nov. 20 and
21 and then provincials
Nov. 27 to 28.
The junior girls travel
to Holdfast Nov. 5 for playoffs. Holdfast finished the
regular season at 8-0 followed by Lanigan (5-2),
Viscount (3-4), Watrous
(3-5) and Imperial at 0-8.
In the first game it will be
either Viscount or Watrous
against Holdfast while the
other game has either Viscount or Watrous against
Lanigan. The two winners
from those games will then
meet in the finals.
In pre-districts held this
past Thursday, Viscount,
Winston High School,
Holdfast, LeRoy, Lanigan
and Strasbourg travelled
to host Imperial with the
winner being the venue for
district championships.
Junior boys, meanwhile,
have

things up. The standings
have Strasbourg in first at
4-0 followed by Young (3-1),
Holdfast (2-2), Imperial
(1-3) and Watrous at 0-4. Imperial takes on Strasbourg
while Holdfast plays Young
Nov. 2 in Strasbourg with
the two winners facing
each other in the finals.
In pre-districts held last
Thursday, Young, Winston
High School, Imperial and
Holdfast travelled to host
Strasbourg. The winner of
that pool moves on to play
in the northeast venue
- either Lanigan, Annaheim, Humboldt, Muenster
or LeRoy, depending on the
winner.
For the junior B girls,
Young finished first at 5-1
followed by Watrous Elementary team two (5-1),
Lanigan Elementary (2-4)
and Watrous Elementary
team one (0-6). Playoffs take
place Nov. 3 in Young with
Watrous team one playing
Young and Watrous team
two playing Lanigan.
The junior B boys
standings had St. Dominic
in first at 6-1 followed by
Cudworth (5-1), Drake (5-2),
Watson (2-3), LeRoy (2-4),
Watrous Elementary (1-5)
and Humboldt Public (1-6).
But because Watson and
LeRoy are A teams playing
in a B league, they are not
eligible for playoffs so Nov.
3 Watrous plays St. Dominic and Drake takes on
Cudworth in St. Dominic.
Junior B boys and girls
teams will take part in predistricts Nov. 5. For the
girls side, Lanigan Elementary, Watrous Elementary
and Young travelled to host
Strasbourg with the winner going to the northwest,
which could be in Wakaw,
Humboldt Public, St. Augustine or St. Dominic,
depending on the winner.
For the boys, Watrous Elementary, Strasbourg and
Gordon (GGEC) travelled
to host Drake with the winner being the home venue
for districts Nov. 14.
THE WATROUS MANITOU
Rocking the house for
another season
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Curlers young and
old are dusting off their
brooms, sliding into their
cars and shooting over to
the Watrous Curling Rink.
With league play rolling
today
(Monday),
president Rene Miettinen
said they are close to last
year’s numbers of around
200 registered curlers. An
encouraging figure that
Miettinen mentioned is
the amount of juniors who
have signed up.
The youngsters, who
range from Gr. 4 all the
way up through high
school, have been coming
out in larger numbers over
the past five years. While
Miettinen said it is hard
to compete against other
sports and time commitments, she said it is great
to see larger numbers attend.
She is hopeful that, by
having the younger up and
comers register earlier on
in elementary school, once
they get to high school
they can form teams and
play in league to help develop their skills.
Miettinen said the seniors group is also strong
this year and has moved
to Monday afternoons this
season.
While there are not
any new facelifts to the
building itself, one change
people will notice are the
rocks. Miettinen said new
inserts have been put in
the rocks to go along with
the engraved handles from
the adopt-a-rock program
held last year. A bulletin
board with names of
donors still remains in the
rink for people to see.
“We are also trying a
new spiel this year.” Miettinen
said
sometimes
weekend spiels are hard
to attend because of busy
schedules so they are
having a greenspiel this
Friday. The event is a twogame, four-end match, a
shorter game but one that
will involve new curlers.
Teams taking part in the
event include a person who
has never curled before or
has not curled in a while.
Miettinen said there is no
cost for those greenhorns
and she hopes to see a lot
of people come and check
out what curling is all
about.
If the curling bug bites
those either coming out for
the first time or returning
to the hack after a long hiatus, Miettinen said it is not
too late to get in a league.
Those who do not have a
team already in league can
sign up individually and
the president said she will
find a space for them.
While the rink usually
shuts down a week or so
before the end of March,
this year the juvenile provincial championships will
be sliding into town Mar.
26 to 28. Because of that
date the ice’s life will be
prolonged for a few more
days. The event for curlers
17 and younger will feature
talent from across Saskatchewan. The Winston
High School team featuring Lindsay Martin, Jesse
Van Vaals, Jarvis Engele
and Justin McWillie will
participate in that event.
On this year’s executive in Watrous: president
Rene
Miettinen;
past
president Thomas Arthur; vice president Trina
Lewis; treasurer Bernice
Dengler; ladies rep Karina
Anderson; mens rep Royce
Dyck; senior rep Iris Ernst;
open league rep Rene Miettinen; junior coordinator
Lindsay Martin; caretaker

The ice at the Watrous Curling Rink was almost all
ready to go last week as caretaker Barry Eltom was
busy getting it up to par for the season. The new
inserts and handles have also arrived after the adopt-arock program was launched last year.
and LeBron James have some help in the form of Shaq
and Vince Carter has found a home in Orlando. I think
the Magic will be a tough team to beat. And then there
is the stacked Boston Celtics who after playing dismal
basketball, turned it up over the past few years with the
likes of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rasheed Wallace. The Lakers also look to be hard court contenders
but I am not a fan of Kobe Bryant so I am not pulling for
them.

Finally, a shout out to my buddy Sam Klassen who is
a defenceman for the Saskatoon Blades. Klassen has already scored three goals in 12 games this season to go
along with nine assists. His three goals have already surpassed a season best and he is pleasantly surprised with
the output! He is not the only Blade lighting it up as the

Business and Agriculture
Traceability
rebate offered
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Thanks to a $5 million
rebate, farmers will be
able to cash in on a new
program offered by the
Saskatchewan
Ministry
of Agriculture. Minister
Bob Bjorernud announced
the funding is being put towards a Saskatchewan Voluntary Livestock Traceability Rebate, something
Bjornerud hopes will help
the livestock industry
move forward, not only in
the Watrous area but also
across the province.
The rebate provides up
to 70 per cent of eligible
costs for buying or leasing
Radio Frequency Identification handheld and panel
readers. There is also funding available for training,
software, installation and
facility modifications relating to the use of RFID
readers.
Producers of cattle,
bison, sheep, goat, hog and
cervid along with feedlots,
backgrounders, veterinary
clinics, meat processors,
assembly yards, privately
managed community pastures, fairs and exhibitions
are able to apply for the 70
per cent rebate with a maximum of $50,000 per facility for all eligible items
combined.
Meanwhile,
auction
marts can get a 70 per cent
rebate up to $100,000 for all
eligible items combined.
Reaction was positive
from the Saskatchewan
Cattlemen’s Association
president Jack Hextall,
Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association president
Calvin Knoss and SaskPork president Joe Kleinsasser.
Hextall said, “This type
of voluntary program provides cattle producers the
opportunity to prepare for
the realities facing our industry and ensures that
Saskatchewan will not be
left behind other jurisdictions as livestock traceability moves forward.”
Knoss was appreciative of the ability to move
forward on a traceability
rebate. “Today’s announcement will help livestock
producers participate in a
traceability system that is
ultimately working toward
increasing Canada’s share
of beef sales worldwide.”
Kleinsasser also recognized the importance of
the national traceability
system for the customer and business aspect.
“While we have been working with the Canadian
Pork Council on a national
system, the provinces contribution will significantly
help with the implementation of traceability in Saskatchewan.”
The rebate itself was
retroactive to April 1, 2009
and the deadline for applications is Jan. 31, 2013.
Mosaic provides
one million
global meals
The Mosaic Company and its 7,500 worldwide
employees celebrated its fifth anniversary by donating more than one million meals to organizations
around the world that help alleviate hunger. Mosaic
employees collected more than 25,000 pounds of nonperishable food items, and the company made financial contributions of more than $250,000. Mosaic’s
donations will provide meals to organizations in
Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, India and
the United States.
“Over the past five years Mosaic has consistently
delivered on its mission of helping the world grow
the food it needs, and this mission will drive us for
the years well into the future,” said Jim Prokopanko,
Mosaic’s president and chief executive officer. “As
we commemorate our fifth anniversary, this donation of one million meals is a tangible and significant way to give back to our global communities.”
In Saskatchewan alone The Mosaic Company
is donating thousands of pounds of food and over
$60,000 to food banks across the province in recognition of our over 1,600 employees province-wide.
Cornered by bad weather
This just has not been the farmers’ year as snow, rain
and cool temperatures have hampered harvest for the
2009 season. Along with this area just east of Watrous,
the region is one of the farthest behind as far as getting
the crop off the field and put into the bins. Provincially,
there was still 21 per cent of the crop left out in the fields
waiting to be harvested.

Fields still contain crops
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
The month of October has been a frustrating and
disappointing one for farmers trying to get their crops
off the fields. According to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly crop report, continued wet weather has
meant an increase of just two per cent for the period
of Oct. 20 to 26.
That increase means in total, 79 per cent of the crop
is in the bin provincially. Compared to last year at this
time, farmers had almost all the crop in the bin. Many
of the farmers have said they will have to wait for the
ground to freeze and dry up before they can attempt to
finish harvest. There is 12 per cent of the provincial
crop that remains in the swath, five per cent ready to
straight-combine and four per cent standing.
For crops overall, 91 per cent of durum, 89 per cent
of mustard, 86 per cent of barley, 85 per cent of chickpeas, 78 per cent of spring wheat, 69 per cent of canola,
59 per cent of oats and canary seed, 33 per cent of the
flax and three per cent of sunflowers have been combined.
While all regions in the province have crop still in
the fields, the northern and east central regions have
the largest amount.
Snow and rain were the contributors of crop damage last week and recent weather has caused bleaching, sprouting, lodging and shattering. The snow has
also caused standing crops to lodge and swaths to settle
into the ground.
There is continuing reports of mostly geese damaging crops in the swaths.
Difficult decisions to make
Most people tend to avoid
looking ahead to the end of
their days - and while that is
certainly understandable it
can cause significant problems for you and for those
you love.
To be certain that your
legacy is passed on exactly
as you wish and that your
expectations for personal
care are known at a time
when you may not be able to
make those determinations
for yourself, there are certain decisions you should
make now.
A comprehensive estate
plan starts with your will
but should also include
other elements. Among the
most important are a power
of attorney for property
and a power of attorney for
personal care. Here is why.
Power of attorney for
property
Your will establishes
who will receive your bequests after you die. It also
includes the name of the
person you have selected
to be your executor (or personal representative) - the
person who will be legally
responsible for carrying
out your wishes as set out
in your will. But what happens if you become incapacitated prior to your death?
Your will has no effect in
that case - so you need another form of protection
and direction - and that is
what a power of attorney
for property does. You select your attorney for property (it can be the person
you named as executor or
someone else) who will act
on your behalf in respect
of your finances. The powers granted to an attorney
for property vary according to your province/territory and the terms of the
document. They generally
include paying your bills,
managing your real estate
and other investments, fil-
ing your tax returns and
paying your taxes, signing
documents on your behalf,
mortgaging or selling your
home, managing your accounts, safety deposit boxes
and other banking needs.
Power of attorney for
personal care
Sometimes
called
a
health care proxy, a health
care directive, or living will,
your power of attorney for
personal care is your substitute decision-maker for
your wishes regarding your
future health or medical
care including giving or refusing consent to specified
kinds of treatment such as
saying yes or no to life support treatment that would
artificially sustain or prolong life.
Most provinces now have
legislation allowing the
designation of a power of
attorney for personal care
but not all provide that the
decisions of the proxy are
Are you looking for wood
pellets for your wood stove?
Looking for large
grain storage?
Call Mike at the Co-op Farm & Hardware
Centre to book a pallet.
The Co-op is taking bookings
for large diameter bins now
until December 20th.
‘binding’. Even in jurisdictions where the decisions
of the proxy are binding,
it can be overridden by certain circumstances such as
medical or technological
advances that render an instruction inappropriate.
You should draft your
powers of attorney very
carefully, in accordance
with your precise wishes
and provincial/territorial
legislation. Include your
lawyer in their preparation
and your family physician
for your living will and
make your professional advisor a part of your team
- the quarterback who will
make sure all your estate
planning strategies make
sense for you.

by Earl Hayhurst
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 - Effective remake of
the 1974 Walter Matthau hostage thriller this time with
Denzel Washington in the Matthau role and John Travolta relishing a bad guy role as the psychotic terrorist
who takes over a train and demands money. Of course,
under the direction of Tony Scott, (Top Gun, Man on
Fire) it has far more action and lots of visual flair then it
should, but it works. Washington and Scott collaborating
on their fourth movie together have a good rhythm now
and Travolta is great. James Gandolfini also has a small
role as the major. Good thriller. (14A)
G.I. Joe - Rise of the Cobra - Well made explosions,
nothing else. A nice companion to Transformers 2. If you
like to see stuff blown up real good, dig in. I was bored to
near coma. (14A)
I Love You, Beth Cooper - Not sure if it was the recent death of John Hughes or just the mood I was in but I
really enjoyed this John Hughesesque teen comedy about
a geek (Paul Rust) who declares his love for the prom
queen (a terrific Hayden Panettiere from TV’s Heroes)
at their graduation. This of course leads to a night of
fun and danger when the sociopath boyfriend comes to
off the geek. Dumb, silly but totally effective. Directed
by John Hughes protégée Chris Columbus (Adventures
in Babysitting, Home Alone) and it works. It might have
just been the mood but a real funny little movie like they
used to make in the Hughes era. (PG)
Aliens in the Attic - The weekly kids entry. Can you
guess what it is about? (G)
Food, Inc. - Terrifying documentary in the vein of
Inconvenient Truth and Super Size Me shown in eye
opening detail about how the food we buy is made and
processed. It will not make you hungry. (PG)

Seasons
Long shadows of trees
and buildings fall across
open spaces. Each day
they lengthen as another
season comes to a close.
Migrating birds wing their
way high overhead taking
with them their creations
of the past summer. Their
“V” formations helping
to make it easier for the
young uninitiated of the
flock. While we who watch
are somewhat saddened by
their leaving we know that
the trip south to warmer
climes is Mother Nature’s
way of protecting the species. We also know that
those same “V” formations will once again grace
our skies when winter unleashes its tentacles of cold
and biting wind and allows
us to look forward to new
beginnings as spring unfolds and we watch for new
life among the birds and
our four footed friends and
in the trees and grasses
that sustain and shelter
them.
As humans we look also
to Mother Nature for some
cooperation in allowing
us to provide for our own
species, sometimes she is
most benevolent but never
is she predictable, and so
the world keeps on turning and the seasons keep
changing while we whose
time on this planet is short,
wait for the old to pass and
the new to begin. Would we
want it any other way?

The weather has been rainy and not
very good for the farmers. Maybe November will bring us some better weather
for them to complete their farming and
harvesting.
Plunkett folks send their deepest sympathy to the Grisdale and Sutherland
families on the recent passing of Connie Grisdale of Saskatoon. Connie and

I do not remember a month where we
have had so little sunshine. We are usually one of the most sunny places. As I
write this, it is wet out again and snow
is coming down. A couple of days ago,
combines were starting up. It was a little
tough, but better than before. Now it has
come to a halt again.

The combines may
not have been busy in
the fields last Sunday but
Main Street Young was a
hub of activity as people
flowed into the community hall for the annual
Catholic church fowl supper. Though attendance
was down slightly from
previous years that did
not impact the people attending who eagerly held
out their plate waiting
for the kitchen crew to
dish out turkey, stuffing,
mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy, salads and
of course everyone’s favourite . . . dessert. Fowl

All we have to do is preserve our trees
and bushes to provide suitable habitat
and food for our avian friends. Already
many residents put out bird feeders to
encourage a variety of birds - food for
thought?
Snow and rain have put yet another
damper on harvest. Geese and ducks
have been enjoying themselves with dining on fine grain.
George Squires and hunting pals Don
and Bob Clements are back for their annual goose and duck hunt with Lionel
Sproule. The guys are aided and abetted
by Phoenix who saves them from many
messy forays into marsh to retrieve
downed birds. Lucky guys.

News from Viscount Central School
by principal Christy Baumann
Wow! If I thought October was busy . . . November is
going to be super busy! In October we had a school dance
for Gr. 7 to 12, an SCC meeting, volleyball league games
and tournaments, Thanksgiving long weekend, Education Week with various activities including reading buddies, the elementary students attended a drama, Scholastic Book Fair, St. Peter’s College presentation, Austin
Dyer’s presentation, a meet the staff potluck and SCC
breakfast, early dismissal . . . am I forgetting something?!
November will have more volleyball league games and
tournaments, Remembrance Day program, high school
report cards, convention, Remembrance Day holiday,
picture retakes, elementary report cards, an SCC meeting, parent-teacher interviews, another early dismissal .
. . and I think that is it for now!
We would also like to welcome all of the new students
to our school since August: Dexter Gusikoski, Lea Hanson, Tegan Hendricks, Jace Hunter, Abigayle Kirzinger,
Emma Lemky, Kayla Saretzky, Damara Kinney, Katie
Hunter, Dreydon Hamilton, Ivan Hamilton, Shakira
Hamilton, Reily Peters and Curtis Bliss.
Scholastic Book Fair
We had another very successful book fair in VCS.
We sold $1,630 worth of product and that enabled the
staff to select $765 worth of books for the VCS library
stacks. The support the VCS library receives from the
community is very much appreciated. Leona Credgeur,
Nola McLaren, Loretta Polischuk and Morene Yaworski
provided inspiring ideas along with hours and hours of
volunteer time during Education Week. This year’s winner of the Scholastic Book Fair family draw was Gr. 1
student Mason Dieno, son of Ken and Melissa Dieno. He
was able to select $25 worth of books for himself and $25
for his classroom. Not only did Mason pick books he was
interested in, he selected two for his little brother Carson. Branden Perfanick won a poster with his guess of
179 stars in the jar. The actual number was 173.
Education Week
Education Week was fantastic! Students, staff, and
community members participated in several activities
to celebrate education at VCS. Monday afternoon, students from Kindergarten to Gr. 12 converged on the gymnasium to read together. Reading buddies is an annual
Education Week activity that continues to showcase
the love of reading that is so important to education.
Tuesday, students in Gr. 1 to 6 travelled to Winston High
School in Watrous to view the production The Wizard of
Wonderland. This year’s theme was achieving your inner best. Our students’ “best” was shown during Wednesday evening’s community potluck and book fair.
Guests were invited to view a showcase of student work
from paper maché dinosaurs to biology projects involving live ferrets and other animals. The Winter Olympicthemed evening was a wonderful way to connect with
students and their family members and celebrate their
achievements thus far. Thursday brought a special treat
to the high school students because former VCS student,
Austin Dyer, returned to speak about achieving his inner best. Austin is a teacher and the current head coach
of the University of Saskatchewan women’s volleyball
team. He captured the students’ interest and definitely
inspired them to reach for their dreams. Friday, our SCC
put on a wonderful continental breakfast for the VCS
community. It was delicious. The Education Week committee was Mrs. Clavelle, Mrs. Frey, Ms. Kirzinger and
Mrs. Serke.
Senior SRC
The senior SRC held a QSP magazine fundraiser in
September. Orders have been sent away and you should
receive your first magazines in the new year. If you do
not receive your magazine subscriptions, please call the
school. We are collecting shoebox Christmas gifts for
Operation Christmas Child again this year. If you are
interested in putting together a shoebox gift for a child
in a Third World country, please get the information
brochure and a shoebox from the front entrance of the
school.
Winter clothing and blankets needed! The SRC has
decided it would like to get involved with the Salvation
Army to help families in need in Saskatoon and surrounding communities. For the next couple of months
VCS will be a drop-off centre for winter clothing and
blankets. The SRC will then deliver the clothing and blankets to the Salvation Army in Saskatoon. If you have any
gently used winter clothing items, such as jackets, mitts,
scarves or boots or any blankets, please drop them off at
the school. The SRC asks that all items be washed and
ready for delivery.
Junior girls volleyball
League play is almost complete; predistricts were in
Imperial Oct. 29. We hosted our tournament Oct. 17 with
four other teams participating. Our team placed second.
Congratulations goes out to LeRoy for winning the tournament. It was a wonderful, busy day.
Senior girls volleyball
Right now the girls are tied for second place in their
league. Their games against Young last week determined
how they finished and where they were placed for league
playoffs. The girls hosted their home tournament Oct. 24.
The girls did very well in their tournament. They lost
out in the semifinals to Bellevue, but both games were
very close. Wynyard won the tournament, but our girls
had beaten Wynyard in two straight games in the roundrobin play earlier in the tournament. The girls are looking forward to conference playoffs in Imperial Nov. 7.

BE INFORMED ABOUT FLU
for Nov. 9 and Wynyard Civic Centre for Nov. 12.
Clinics for the remainder of the general public begin
Nov. 16. In Watrous, the clinic takes place at the civic centre Nov. 24 to 25 beginning in the afternoon.
Elementary and high schools will also be visited and
teachers, staff and students - whose parents have signed
a consent - will be immunized.
Differences between the common cold and the influenza.
The incubation period is generally two to five days
for a common cold and one to five days for H1N1, said
the Saskatoon Health Region website. A fever is rare or
mild with a cold but common (38˚C to 40˚C and sudden)
in H1N1. Aches and pains are occasional and mild for the
cold but common and often severe in H1N1. Fatigue and
weakness is occasional and mild for colds but common
and severe for H1N1. Headaches are rare except with
sinus congestion for colds while they are common and
can be severe with influenza. Sore throats are occasional
and mild in colds but common in H1N1, while coughing
is common (mild to moderate) when you have a cold but
can be severe in H1N1. Those with a cold will often notice nasal discharge while it is only occasional for people
with influenza. The symptoms for a cold can last five to
10 days while those with influenza may have it for up to
two weeks.
The health region released a number of preventative
measures to help stop the spread of H1N1: wash your
hands often by using warm water and soap, lather for 20
seconds, rinse and dry using your own towel; cough and
sneeze into your sleeve or shoulder or use a tissue once
and throw it into the garbage; stay at home or indoors if
you are sick; drink plenty of fluids and rest; clean surfaces often; avoid commonly touched surfaces such as
doorknobs, railings and telephones; get immunized - it
is free for everyone.
For more information about H1N1 people can log on
to www.saskatoonhealthregion.ca or they can call the
health line at 1-877-800-0002.
Allowing kids to stay active
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Thanks to cooler weather, the sports scene has
shifted gears, going from
runners to skates, and jerseys to gis. Despite it being
cold, the encouragement to
stay active is still prominent, but with that comes
challenges for some to afford to play sports.
For families facing
financial obstacles preventing their children
from participating in community sport programs
like hockey, curling or judo
to name a few, KidSport™
is able to lend a hand. The
chance to let kids play
sports is the goal of the organization, which is set up
locally.
The children’s charity dedicated to helping
families is available in the
Watrous area and chairperson in town Melanie
Yanoshewski said clubs
are also on board with the
program. “I gave out grant
applications to clubs as
well as individuals.”
Three clubs, two in
town and one out of town,
applied for grant money,
which allows them to keep
the costs lower to help kids
and families with less in
their pockets afford to play.
Yanoshewski said individuals up to 18 years old
can apply for grants of
$200 to help alleviate some
fees for sports ranging
from judo to gymnastics,
baseball and hockey.
The program, which has
been operating in Watrous
for the past two years, also
caters to surrounding communities who do not have a
Kidsport™ set up. Yanoshewski said the program is
also running on a provincial and national scale.

pool over the summer and
Yanoshewski said they are
looking into having a free
skate during the winter.
Forms to get involved
with Kidsport™ or to apply
for grants are available at
the town office.
Meanwhile,
staying
active is also on the minds
of many to get today’s kids
doing exercise. Canada’s
Physical Activity Guide
recommends they get at
least 90 minutes of physical
activity every day for good
health. According to research from the Canadian
Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute’s physical
activity levels, 85 per cent
of children and youth in
the province do not fulfill
this need.
The Saskatchewan Blue
Cross has established the
Push2Play program where,
for an hour a day, parents
and children are to have
healthier lifestyles through
active play every day.
A playbook was created
for the program, containing
games and activities along
with safety tips and adaptations. For access to the
playbook and information
on the program people can
log on to www.sk.bluecross.

Saskatchewan
adopting
one-part
driver’s licence
LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES
❑ Payment can be made once or
over five-year period
Beginning in 2011, Saskatchewan will move to a onepart, five-year driver’s licence and identification card.
“Switching to a one-part licence will make Saskatchewan’s driver’s licence consistent with other jurisdictions in North America,” minister responsible for SGI
June Draude said. “This will ensure that our driver’s licence continues to be accepted as valid identification by
law enforcement and other agencies outside of the province. In addition, the one-part licence will have added security features that reduce the chance of identity theft.”
The one-part, five-year driver’s licence will replace
the existing two-part licence (photo identification card
and paper certificate). Customers can choose to pay $100
for the licence at the time of renewal - saving $25 from
today’s cost to renew the two-part licence for the same
five-year period - or they can opt to pay $25 per year for
five years for a cost of $125.
Saskatchewan last changed its driver’s licence in 2001,
when the photo identification card was added.
Starting Jan. 1, 2011, customers will receive their new
one-part licence when they renew their expired two-part
licence.
In the implementation year, drivers will receive their
licence with renewal terms ranging from one to five
years based on the expiry year on their current photo ID
card. Licence fees will be pro-rated based on the length
of the term. Every subsequent renewal, however, will be
for a five-year term.
“This change is another example of how we’re making it easier than ever to do business with SGI,” Draude
said. “SGI recognizes that its customers are busy and increasing the length of the renewal term to five years is
certainly more convenient for them.”

Numbers down for Horizon School enrollment
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
The enrollment numbers are in for Horizon School
Division and they find themselves a little bit lower than
last year. In the division the previous year, there were
6,553 projected students from Kindergarten to Gr. 12,
combined with 71 pre-kindergarten and six early entrance students for a total of 6,630.
This year, that number comes in lower overall at a
total of 6,458. However, there are 92 pre-kindergarten
students and seven early entrance students, an increase
from last year, bringing the
total of the combined numbers to 6,557.
Superintendent of student
services Darrell Paproski
said pre-kindergarten students are those involved in
HSD programming offered
in Wadena and Wynyard, as
identified through Statistics
Canada.
Early entrance numbers
refer to children aged three
and four with intensive
needs and are identified to
the division in written reports, Paproski clarified.
Director of education
for Horizon School Division
Marc Danylchuk said while there is a decrease, they can
take a positive out of the numbers. “Once again Horizon
School Division has recorded a slight decrease in enrollment as anticipated. However, the decrease is not as
significant as projected. This is an encouraging sign for
rural Saskatchewan and for the students and communities we serve.”
Comparing numbers from last year to this school season in the Watrous Manitou readership area, Watrous
Elementary School had a decrease of 12, going from 233
to 221 this year. Winston High School enrolled 163 students as of Sept. 30 last year and this time around they
had one less at 162.
In Drake, this year’s numbers came in at 50, three less
than the last school year. Holdfast Schell School also had
similar losses as they have a total 78 students this year,
five less than the previous number.
Ninety students are enrolled at Imperial, a drop of
seven students for the same time last year. Numbers
were similar in Viscount, as they saw a decline of seven,
going from 102 to 95.
At McClellan School in Young, there was also a drop
as this year’s recorded total is 82, down from 91.
Last year, enrollment numbers were used in the calculation of funding received
from the provincial government. However, in this
year’s budget released back
in March, the provincial government announced it would
be taking over from school
divisions in setting the mill
rate and would also reduce
the education portion of
property tax.
While the enrollment is
lower in the school division,
the provincial government
announced that for the first
since 1992, the number of Kindergarten to Gr. 12 students is
going up in Saskatchewan.
According to Education minister Ken Krawetz, 159,818 students are enrolled in the
province’s schools, an increase of 361 students over last
year. Krawetz said while some divisions saw a decrease,
the overall jump is good news and a turnaround from last
year, when the enrollment went down by 1,800. “While it
is not a huge increase, student numbers are on the rise
after declining by 36,000 over the past 17 years.”
“Once again Horizon School
Division has recorded a
slight decrease in enrollment
as anticipated. However,
the decrease is not as
significant as projected.
This is an encouraging sign
for rural Saskatchewan
and for the students and
communities we serve.”

I’ve broken down and cried.
When I look back upon our
lives together
One of the things that makes
me glad,
Is that you chose me to share
with you
The precious years we had.
- In loving memory, Lillian and
family.

HORNING,
Donald (Don) Armitage
Jan. 20, 1936 Oct. 19, 2009
Peacefully on Monday, October 19, 2009, his
wife Beryl at his side, Don
passed away at the age of
73 years, at St. Boniface
Hospital after a long hospital stay.
Born in Girvin, Sask.,
Don spent his youth in
Simpson with his lifelong
friends and two brothers.
After entering the Canadian Air Force and training in telecommunications,
Don met Beryl Loewen in Goderich, Ont. and they fell in
love and after a short courtship were married September
26, 1964. Together they raised their family in The Pas and
Thompson where Don continued his 35-year career as a
telecommunications manager with Transport Canada.
After a short time in Winnipeg he retired in 1994. Don
was active in his community and served on Rotary for
many years, serving as club president and receiving his
Paul Harris Fellow. He enjoyed playing sports, especially
hockey and curling and was very proud to see his son and
his grandchildren follow in his footsteps with their love
of the games. Don was a kind and generous man who
had an easy smile and a twinkle in his eye. Friends and
family always surrounded him because people enjoyed
being with him. In later years his health kept him from
spending more time with those he loved.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife Beryl,
children Krista (Vince), Boyd; grandchildren Bryce,
Logan, Harley and Dylan; brothers Jack (Lill), Bill (Annette) and sisters-in-law Dolores and Beverly (George);
as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
A service honouring his life was held Saturday, October 24 at Westwood Community Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Red Cross or a charity of one’s choice.
Chapel Lawn Funeral Home was in care of arrangements.

Canadians idle and it is hurting our
wallet, our health and the environment
(NC)—Idling your car, or letting it run needlessly, is a
waste of fuel, money and it is damaging the environment,
too. Natural Resources Canada provides some pretty convincing data at vehicles.gc.ca
For example, did you know Canadian drivers could
save approximately $85 a year just by turning off their
vehicles instead of idling? Each Canadian driver idles approximately ten minutes per day, using up almost 90 litres
of gas a year, which at one dollar a litre or more adds up.
The cost goes up even further in winter when Canadians
idle more than 75 million minutes a day. That is the same
as idling one vehicle for 144 years.
And what about the old story that idling uses less
fuel than starting and stopping your engine? Not true
says Natural Resources Canada. Idling for more than 10
seconds uses more fuel than restarting your engine. In
fact, if every Canadian motorist stopped idling for just
five minutes a day, every day of the year, we could avoid
sending 1.6 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
into the air, and save over $640 million dollars per year in
fuel. That is the equivalent of taking over 490,000 cars off

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Off the beaten path
The summer tanager was identified by
Trevor Heriot of CBC Birdline fame and
Bob Luterbach of Nature Regina. Birders
from Saskatoon and Regina were all set
to come and see the tanager; alas, it is
gone now but its sighting seems to have
put Manitou Beach in the news in the bird
world, being only the third on record for
the province. Normally the bird dwells in
the southern states so ours was way off
the mark, coming north instead of going
to South America. Its main diet is bees and
wasps, and its closest breeding range is
the extreme southeast of Nebraska.

Catching some rays
Taking advantage of the sun was priority
number one for this fox. The critter, perched
on his favourite lounging spot, watched as
cars zipped by and was content to stay
there despite the interest of nearby road
crews and various passersby.
