Water levels remain at damaging levels
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Destruction and devastation have run rampant through many
communities, farmlands and resort areas in the province as
water levels reached unprecedented levels. Last week, Maple
Creek was the latest in a long list of places fighting with water,
one that also includes Manitou Beach.
On the heels of all the increased moisture levels and flooding,
the provincial government’s ministry of corrections, public safety and policing announced disaster assistance availability.
Communities and individuals may be eligible to claim for financial assistance from the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program. The help would go to uninsurable, essential property damage caused by a natural disaster like flooding, tornadoes, plough
winds and severe weather.
Manitou Beach mayor Eric Upshall said the resort village
made an official motion to apply for assistance.
“There are no beaches left, the washroom facilities are being
flooded and power poles along the shore line are in the water.”
Erosion is also taking place on the banks of private property,
and walking paths near the shore have been swallowed up by the
lake.
Upshall said because of that, expenses have climbed as they
continue to monitor the levels.

a diesel pump and pipes that were laid over ground to the lagoon,
it has not been easy.
“The water is at least five feet higher than a couple of years
ago . . . and there is water still running in.”
Upshall said if they can secure some sort of assistance, “it
will help.” The amounts vary, depending on the category and according to the mayor, the government could cover up to 75 per
cent of costs damage wise.
He also would like to talk to the government about who should
be spending money to fix the problem. While the beaches are used
by locals, they are significantly visited by others. “The money
that we are spending on the lake is local taxpayers’ money.”
Upshall said technically it is not their lake or beach so “we
need to talk to the provincial government from a resort point of
view.”
Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority released
an update last week on the situation at Last Mountain Lake and
said it slowly continues to rise. Craven Dam, which regulates the
lake levels is wide open and significant inflows from creeks on the
north side of the lake are pushing Last Mountain Lake higher.
Rains in the Moose Jaw River and the Upper Qu’Appelle basins
are also increasing the flows in the Qu’Appelle River through
Lumsden. Last Mountain Lake had not yet peaked, though the
rate of rise is relatively slow. It is to remain high through much
of July and the authority is continuing to operate Craven Dam to
release as much water from the lake as possible.

THE WATROUS MANITOU
The July 5 issue of the Watrous Manitou may
be as noteworthy for what it does not contain as
for what it does.
Due to the timing of the July 1 holiday and
related celebrations, and the summer holiday
shutdown of the newspaper, there will not be any
coverage of Canada Day celebrations in the July
5 issue. The newspaper will have been assembled
and sent to press prior to the events of the day.
Our holidays take us through the next two
weeks to July 18 inclusive, and we return to work
Monday, July 19 with our next issue planned for
July 26. If any readers or organizations are interested in submitting a few photos and/or an article
from the July 1 celebrations, they are welcome to
do so by sending them to our office by Wednesday,
July 21.
In one final reminder as well, our deadline for
the July 5 paper is this Wednesday, June 30 at noon
(our normal deadline is Wednesday at 5 p.m.). We
appreciate everyone’s cooperation in submitting
newscopy, photos and advertising in time.

Manitou Beach council notes
June 16, 2010
submitted by mayor Eric Upshall
The large amount of rain and run off has caused
damage to the shoreline of the lake and has put undue
pressure on the sewer and road infrastructures. As a
result of this, council has applied for assistance under
the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program. If accepted, this will provide council with a portion of the
money that has been spent dealing with these issues.
Under this program businesses and individuals who
have been affected can also apply for assistance. More
information will be available as soon as our request
has been processed.
We have rented a portable flow meter to monitor
the flows from our lift stations. When the run off was
heavy, the upper lift station was unable to keep up. As a
result of this we had Richardson’s Sewer Service hauling from the lift station beside the tennis courts for five
days around the clock. In the meantime we had rented
a diesel pump and pipes that were laid over ground to
the lagoon. This did not happen as quickly as we would
have liked because the first pump that was sent out
was faulty and had to be replaced. Private sump pumps
are not running as much and volumes are reducing to
the point where our current system is keeping up. We
will be monitoring volumes over the summer in order
to help us decide on an action plan to handle similar
problems in the future.

Rink renos to hit TSN
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Motorists travelling Hwy. 668 east of Watrous last
Monday afternoon did a double take at the camera
crew who set up shop near Janzen Metal Fab. The
crew for TSN along with a trio of local faces were doing a little catching up on how the TSN/Kraft refresh
money awarded to the community last year is being
spent.
Jeremy Engele, the man responsible for the $25,000
donation and TSN’s broadcast from town last August,
mayor Ed Collins and recreation director Trevor
Ouellette all took a turn in front of the camera.
The trio explained how the funding was being
used, what renovations have been made and the
TSN/Kraft tour experience itself.
Last year, Engele’s submission was picked as a
finalist in the first-ever across Canada tour. His essay, which stated what kind of shape the rink was
in, went up against one from the community of Wynyard for the right to represent Saskatchewan.
Watrous beat out Wynyard by garnering more
votes and not only won $25,000, but also a visit from
TSN’s Darren Dutchyshen and Jennifer Hedger.
Director of communications for TSN Greg McIsaac said, “We wanted to find out how they have
used the $25,000 from Kraft Canada, and we wanted
to show the impact it had on the community.”
Judging by all the changes and banging of hammers from the crew of Boehr Construction at the
Watrous Centennial Arena, it appears the refresh
funding has been put to good use.
McIsaac said Ouellette and Engele “were a huge
help showing TSN around the arena and detailing
all the renovations and improvements. The $25,000
from Kraft Canada has been a launching point for
them and now they are doing much larger-scale renovations on the arena on top of those done with the
Kraft money.”
Ouellette said that money has been a huge help
and thanks to it, the project is about 80 per cent
complete in getting the actual framework up for the
bleachers. “We started shortly after the May 1 deadline . . . What is still left to be done is the mezzanine
level, the player boxes and the penalty boxes need to
be built, plus the installation of the sound booth.”
Fans heading to the rink once it is completed
Sept. 30, will see familiar surroundings until they go
through the doors leading to the ice. A total of 550
seats - 375 on the west side and 175 on the east side are being installed and in the first few sections, heaters will be put in place to keep people warm. “The
biggest change that they are going to notice is when
they actually go into the lobby (upstairs). Outside of
seeing the new bleachers and new seats, we are ac-

tually changing the sound booth and the fire exit.”
The fire exit, which was also the entrance to the
sound booth located high above the ice, will be moved
to the lobby, while the sound booth or press box will
have a permanent seat just behind the penalty boxes.
The move is to help prevent some previous problems
with sound issues and will feature updated software.
Areas in the rink where fans were unable to hear the
speakers are also being fixed.
The lobby entrances will also have front access
right off the mezzanine as opposed to an ‘L’ shape entrance where people had to turn and go in the side.
“What that does is brings it up to code a little bit
better.”
For the players themselves, brand new benches
will await them once the season starts. “We’re go- Walls in place behind the players’ boxes are part of

Editorial and Opinion
Just Layzing Around
I attended my fourth - and
final - life coaching session
with Debra Stobbe last Tuesday, June 22. Our meetings had
come to their natural culmination in two ways: during this
short four-day work week, I
could not spare the time, and
the next two weeks I will be on
holidays (woo-hoo!); also, working on my chosen problem had
come to what I felt was a natural conclusion. That’s not to
say we could not delve deeper
into some of the issues that
arise from struggling with my
memory and ability to focus,
but I felt Debra had supplied
me some very adequate tools
that I want to put into practice
over the long term to see if I can make a noticeable difference in
my work habits and attention span.
During our hour session, I began by sharing how the previous
week’s homework was more successful than earlier attempts had
been. I incorporated the practice of deep breathing into many
parts of my day, both at work and home. Probably because it’s
something we obviously have to do at all times, I found it easier
to include the work on my breathing patterns into my schedule.
I would settle myself at my desk by focusing on feeling my belly
and ribs expand, and once I could sense the calm that came over
me, I would turn back to my job. At home while reading, after
exercising, or while settling into sleep, I allowed the new-found
space in my body to fill with deep, cleansing, settling breath.
I also continued to work on keeping my mind on one topic or
task at a time, making note of other jobs as they came up, but still
returning to the item at hand until it was complete. I definitely
discovered as the week progresses into deadline day and production that it is harder to maintain that focus, but at least now I am
aware of the distractions that threaten to pull me away from my
current task. Before, I would spin from one job to another at random, completely forgetting I had something on the go and finding
that job half done when I happened across it sometime later. Now,
I might still have to leave one item to attend to something else work at a newspaper is always going to be full of interruptions
and distractions, after all - but I try to take a moment to set in my
mind what exactly I am doing and where I am, before attending
to the new job. Then my work is to remember to return without
beginning another new task in the meantime.
It is a work in progress, and always will be, but the sense of
frantic spinning and self-berating that came with it before is
greatly lessened.
In fact, it’s hard to express the freedom I’ve discovered
through this process. And it’s not perfection that I’ve attained,
by any means. I will still forget things. I will still get angry at
myself, perhaps even to the point where I wonder, “How can I be
so stupid?” But what I will not be able to do is think that thought

They pop up everywhere
- anytime, anywhere. Usually in the summer months.
Sometimes they appear in
a group on a whole block,
sometimes there is only one.
I could be talking about that
favourite weed of all times the dandelion - but I am not.
No, I am talking about garage
sales. It seems these are very
popular at this time of year.
Whole communities may get
into the act and everyone
in town participates in one
gigantic clearance sale.
It may be a casual event
but as with everything in
life, it seems there are a few
rules to consider. Just google
“garage sales” and see the advice sites pop up - when you
should have a garage sale,
how many days, hours, what
days, advertising, where,
what sells, supplies you will
need, pricing, prep work.
Yep, there is a lot of work
before you can sell those
unwanted items.
First, make sure you
clean the items. People do
not really want to buy dirty
things. Second, price items
with an expectation to sell.
Do not expect new prices for
an item that has been used
for 10 years. Even if it is new
or “hardly used”, people go
to garage sales for a bargain.
People also like BOGO - buy
one get one (free or half
price).
As for what sells at a garage sale, the experts on the
web are adamant - everything
and anything. “You will be
amazed at what people will
buy,” says one expert. “I have
they will wait around until

salers know the best stuff is

And, if you think you
need to raise more money,
the experts have tips on that
as well. Sell bottles of water
or pop, maybe have a barbecue (only if it is legal in
your area), puffed wheat or
rice krispie cakes are always
popular, freezies, candy bags
- even doughnuts or baking
will bring in extra cash.
It is not only the sellers
that experts have advice for.
There are tips for buyers who
want to get the best prices.

is a sound system of trade
that loses no value. It can
be gold, silver or anything
that is traded for other
goods.
The third type is “fiat”
money that has no basis
for its value. It is issued
by government bonds issued and banks hold the
bonds collecting interest
on them. The banks then
deposit this into a bank account for governments to
use to buy war materials
etc. The banks thus issue
the money into circulation, our dollars are thus
debt notes and is printed
into circulation. It is paper money without precious metal backing that
people are required by law
to accept. Politicians use it
to increase spending without taxes. As more is issued it loses its value and
contributes to inflation.
It is a hidden tax. Any
nation including Canada
that uses “fiat” money has
doomed itself to economic
hardship and political disunity. Any nation using
fiat money must resort to
deficit spending. This debt
can never be paid back because to do so would mean
it would have to drain the
country of all its currency.
Resulting in a 1930s style
depression with no means
of recovery other than
issuing more fiat money
that would result in hyper inflation - the likes of
which we seen in Africa
today.

Dear Editor,
In response to the Letter to the Editor
in the June 14, 2010 edition, I feel it is
necessary to clarify the Watrous Swimming Pool family swim night Tuesdays
and the Watrous Kidsport free swim
night Wednesdays.
The family swim night was initiated
for different reasons. As the recreation
director, I had received feedback from
the swimming pool staff as well as from
members of the community to somehow
create an environment that is beneficial
for families. One way was to increase the
activity time of families in the community. Dedicating two hours of the swimming pool one night a week for families
was the result. The notion that the family
swim night contradicts the work of the
In-Motion is not true. According to the
Saskatchewan supplement of an In-Motion information guide, there is a new
program called 30-30-30. In a nutshell the
program calls for 30 minutes of activity
in three ways: (1) in the community, (2)
in your family and (3) in your school.
The family swim night can accomplish
two of the three ways to be active: (1) in
the community – walk or bike to the pool
and back home. You can vary the route
taken to accommodate the 30 minutes of
activity required and (2) in your family
– swim as a family, you are never too old
to jump in. Our pool is designed to accommodate any level of swimmer from
beginner to speed swimmer. Swimming
is a great way to cool off during the summer heat and also a fantastic outlet to
release the stress of your everyday life.
As much as we would like to have both
parents come to the pool, only one is required for the family swim night. If the
parent does not want to get wet, all we
ask is that some part of the body is in the
water (ie. feet).
For a community recreation facility,
I plan for the pool with the whole community in mind. We have lane swims for
those who wish to exercise, we can offer
aquasize for those who wish to experience a different type of aerobic exercise,
lessons to beginner swimmers, we have
a junior lifeguard program for those
who may consider becoming lifeguards
and we have planned to offer learn-to’s,
which include diving, water polo, synchronized swimming and scuba diving.
To ensure we offer something to everyone we have planned the family swim
night, which involves swimming with
your family for two hours one night a
week. It was not our intention or desire
to turn away any public swimmers but
to encourage families to swim together.
The Watrous Kidsport free swim
night is a separate event. The Watrous
Kidsport Committee rents the pool for
two hours on Wednesday nights and then
opens the doors for everyone to go swimming. The program is to ensure that the
entire community can experience swimming.
If you have any comments, questions
or concerns please feel free to contact
myself at the Town Office.

THE POINT
AFTER
There are a couple of
big events coming up for
athletes from the area.
Junior judo nationals hits
the mats in Lethbridge
and the horseshoe pits
will be active at Manitou
Beach as the Western
Classic gets thrown into
the mix. There is more
on both in this week’s
edition.
Game one of the regular season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders
goes this week against
Montreal. The two teams
that played in last year’s Grey Cup game will be in
Regina.
My quick analysis of this year’s team: the offence
should be one of, if not the best in the league. Barring an injury to quarterback Darian Durant, the
group should excel. Wide receivers are dynamite and
expect big things from Jason Clermont who was used
sparingly last season. This year will be a different
story from what I hear. The running backs have some
depth. Wes Cates looks to be the starter but that could
change as the season progresses. On the offensive
line, the team will be more than solid with some great
depth. My biggest concern is if Durant gets injured,
then the lack of depth behind him could pose a problem. Otherwise I think the offence should have no
worries.
On defence, it could be touch and go. The biggest
concern is up front where John Chick and Stevie
Baggs have vacated. I like Brent Hawkins who is wearing the same number Baggs wore. I think the first
couple of games it may take some time to get used to
each other but after that the team should fare well.
Special teams will be good this year. The green
and white have had some problems in this area, but
I think they will buckle down and do well, especially
with a guy like Kitwana Jones.
In the west I am going Saskatchewan, B.C., Calgary and Edmonton. In the east, Montreal takes first,
Hamilton will be right behind, Winnipeg gets the
third spot and although there have been changes in
Toronto, they get fourth.
Playoffs will see B.C. defeat Calgary and Hamilton
edge out the ‘Bombers. The Lions will not get past a
loud crowd and good offence at Mosaic while Montreal will handle Hamilton.
In the Grey Cup, Montreal will come out hard in
the first half but the ‘Riders will prevail in the second
- a reverse of last year’s championship.
The NHL awards were held last week in Las Vegas.
This was the first time I can remember where I sat
down and watched them. I had my cousin Brad over,
who recently returned from Princeton where he
played defence for the Tigers. Unfortunately for him,
he is a Canucks fan, but I try not to hold it against
him.
Los Angeles was the host for this year’s NHL entry
draft. The big event went Friday and trade talk heated
up all last week leading up to the event. I have a feeling this offseason could see a lot of moves from different teams including the Stanley Cup champs, Chicago.
In other hockey news, the jersey worn by Paul Henderson when he scored that magical goal in the Summit Series was auctioned off. According to a yahoosports blog, after bids continued to climb to just over
$300,000, in the final hours the tally came in at over $1
million from Mitchell Goldhar, owner of private real
estate development company SmartCentres. Goldhar,
one of Canada’s richest men with a net worth of over
$1 billion, according to a 2008 list, said in a release
he plans on having the jersey make its rounds across
Canada.
To the World Cup in South Africa and quite honestly I get fed up with some of the teams and their egos.
I will admit I am not a follower of the sport but when
you see a team like France self destruct, it is pretty
dramatic. France who was apparently loaded with
lots of talent and lots of attitude had Nicolas Anelka
sent home early for his outburst. The team then
boycotted a training session and then the sponsors
deserted them. Then after their loss to South Africa,
which eliminated the team from moving on, French
manager Raymond Domenech refused to shake South
Africa coach Carlos Alberto Parreira’s hand. He
rather shook his finger at him and tried to walk away.
Talk about class!
Then of course you have the players embellishing
hits. One was nudged in the chest and he dropped like
a sack of potatoes clutching his face. The athlete who
nudged him got ejected. My question is, why can’t the
referee see that?
That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the
point!

Sunday, June 20, the
Watrous mite girls team
headed to Quill Lake for
the 2010 North League
playoffs. Teams competing were from Humboldt,
Kelvington, Wadena, Lanigan, Archerwill, Muenster
and Watrous.
The first game of the
day saw us play Archerwill. All games were slated
for five innings. Watrous
led most of the game heading into the bottom of the
fifth with a 9 to 5 lead but
Archerwill came out on
top with a 10 to 9 win.
This put us automatically into the B side and up
against Lanigan. Watrous
came up with a convincing 16 to 0 win, mercying
them in three innings.

Hendry bringing home the Cup
Excitement is building in Nokomis in anticipation of Jordan Hendry’s return home with the Stanley Cup, precipitated by the Chicago Blackhawk’s 4-3
overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers June 9.
A celebration is being planned for Thursday, July
1 at the Nokomis Recreation Centre to welcome Hendry home and to provide fans with an opportunity to
see hockey’s most prized possession – Lord Stanley’s
Cup.
“I’m very excited to be bringing the Cup home,”
said Hendry, “and sharing it with family and friends
who have supported me throughout my career and
supported minor hockey in the area.”
Preparations are underway for festivities throughout the afternoon of July 1 along with an opportunity
from 6 to 9 p.m., for photographs with Hendry and the
Cup.
Mayor of Nokomis Fred Wright, said, “We are so
proud of Jordan. This is a great day for the citizens
of Nokomis.
“We’ve had our share of NHL players,” he added.
“Nokomis is home to Elmer Loch of the Montreal
Canadiens and Doug Horbul of the Kansas City
Scouts, but this is the first time for the Stanley Cup to
come to Nokomis.”
Hendry began his professional career in 2006 with
the Norfolk Admirals after wrapping up his collegiate
career with the University of Alaska in Fairbanks.
He then went on to the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs before signing with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2007.
Earlier, Hendry played a portion of his minor hockey
in Watrous.
Athletes set sights on nationals
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Hours of preparation, hundreds if not
thousands of flips, and
a career of determination will be leaned upon
as a handful of local
judo competitors take to
the national stage next
month.
Kendall McArthur of
Watrous, Kevin and Nicole Dyck and Warren
Seib all of Young and
Emily Schaan, formerly
of Young and now of
Saskatoon, will all compete in Lethbridge come
next month.
High
performance
coach and director of development for the province Ewan Beaton said
the five will join 19 other
athletes from six other
clubs in Saskatchewan to
take part in the national
event.
“This is the biggest
event of the year. Any
time you have a chance
to be national champion,
it means something. It is
important! This competition is also the selection
event for the under 20
world championships.”
Beaton said four of
the five heading from JuNo-Ri have taken medals
at the national level in
the past, but this will be
Kevin’s first opportunity.
“There are three age
groups, under 15, under
17 and under 20. Emily
and Kevin are under 17,
Nicole, Warren and Ken-
dall are under 20.
“I expect all of the
athletes to give their 100
per cent effort. If they
compete at their best
then they will have a
chance to perform. They
all have skill and are in
excellent shape, so if
they focus and believe in
themselves, good things
can happen.”
Success has come in
bunches for athletes at
Ju-No-Ri. Whether it has
been competing throughout the province, across
the country or even in
another nation, the competitors have turned it up
a notch, even garnering
provincial awards to go
along with their medals.
“I would like to see 50
per cent of the team com-
pete for medals at this
nationals. This would be
12 of the 24 athletes. This
will be tough but the Saskatchewan athletes are
improving,” said Beaton.
“The long-term goal for
the program is to make
them strong international senior athletes. Junior
nationals is just one competition in a long career
for many of them.”
Beaton said, “The key
is to keep them training hard and learning.
I want to see them performing when they are
20 to 24 years old and
having a chance to represent their country.”
After the competition,
a youth national training camp will take place
for a few days.
THE WATROUS MANITOU
Players leaning
to westerns
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
For the first time in
three years, an event is returning to Saskatchewan
and is being singled out
as showcasing some of
the best talent from the
western provinces.
The Western Canadian
Classic horseshoe tournament will be played
at Manitou Beach this
weekend and will feature
various age groups from
British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba.
Chairman Dale Squires
from Saskatoon said last
week around 60 entrants
have tossed their names
into the ring and are
hoping to lean on some
experience to take them
to the top.
“I am amazed at the
amount of turnout. We
haven’t gotten as many
out of Alberta in a long
time.”
The
event,
which
moves around to different
provinces each year, will
see juniors as young as 10
years old to experienced
competitors as old as 89.
“We want to encourage
juniors to come. It does
not cost anything.”
A few of the juniors
from the province will
also be going to Canadians
later this year in Victoria,
B.C.
Squires who has played
the sport for 30 years said
a talented lineup will be
making the journey to
Manitou Beach. Canadian
champions,
provincial
champions and multiple
winners will be in attendance.
For Squires, “I go in it
for the fun and camaraderie.”
So far this year there
have been two tournaments at Manitou Beach
and another handful are
slated to take place in the
coming months. Squires
said the area is attractive
because of the covered
courts, allowing competi-

tors to play rain or shine.
This event, while big
in its own right, is also a
tune-up of sorts for players as they get ready for
provincials, which will be
at Manitou Beach later in
July, and then Canadians.
“It looks like there
are lots of groups.” With
that, players will take the
two days to get in their
games.

Local chamber in

It
appears
the
Watrous/Manitou Beach
and District Chamber of
Commerce will cling to
life, albeit tenuously.
With 16 interested
participants in attendance at the June 23 noon
meeting, a motion was
passed to renew the
chamber’s
provincial
membership and to pay
for the local post office
box, providing a structure for the organization
to continue.
The move buys some
time for the newly-organized Watrous-Manitou
Marketing Group to get
firmly established, with
community development
officer Brendan Manz as
its paid employee. Those
at the meeting seemed to
feel there was the possibility of maintaining a
shell organization while

collect dues and carry
out its mandate of promoting tourism and economic development in
the Watrous, Manitou
Beach and Rural Municipality of Morris areas.
The local chamber
has not been active since
June 2009. A small meeting in September led to
the suspension of activity until February, typically the month during which the annual
general meeting is held.
That event did not take
place, so the gathering
last Wednesday was required.
There was a sense
that business owners
see the value of having a
chamber and are willing
to make a financial commitment, but do not have
time to attend meetings
and participate in various promotions and
activities. However, by
keeping the Watrous/
Manitou Beach and District chamber technically functioning, if the
chamber were to become
active again in the future, it would not take as
much work to re-establish the organization.
Manz felt that within
several months there
would be a better sense
of how the two agencies could work together,
and a follow-up meeting
could be called at that
time.
Heading for dry ground
Unfortunately, these days there is not a lot of ground
around the Watrous area that is dry. However, for farmers hoping to do some spraying, filling up and cruising
out to the fields has to be done. This sprayer ventured
out into the fields just east of Watrous last Wednesday.
Rain still posing a problem
for local area farmers
Saskatchewan farmers have seeded 76 per cent of
the 2010 crop, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly crop report. In general, the rain has
made seeding stressful and left many acres unseeded.
It has caused flooding in many areas. Thunderstorms
continue to roll through the province.
Seeding is 96 per cent complete in northwestern
Saskatchewan; 89 per cent complete in southwestern
Saskatchewan; 91 per cent complete in west-central
Saskatchewan; 76 per cent complete in southeastern
Saskatchewan; 59 per cent complete in east-central
Saskatchewan and 50 per cent complete in the northeast.
Across the province, cropland topsoil moisture is
rated as 64 per cent surplus and 36 per cent adequate.
Topsoil moisture on hay land and pasture is rated as
39 per cent surplus, 60 per cent adequate and one per
cent short.
Fifty-two per cent of the province’s fall-seeded cer-
eals are at a normal stage of development, but 77 per
cent of the spring-seeded cereals, 77 per cent of the
oilseeds and 67 per cent of the pulses are behind normal in development.
Seventy-five and 80 per cent of the winter wheat
and fall rye are in good to excellent condition, respectively. Seventy-seven per cent of the spring wheat, 84
per cent of the durum, 70 per cent of the barley, 72
per cent of the oats, 75 per cent of the flax, 71 per cent
of the canola, 79 per cent of the mustard, 83 per cent
of the lentils, 82 per cent of the peas and 78 per cent
of the canaryseed and chickpeas are in good to fair
condition.
Crops are showing signs of stress from excess
moisture. Crop damage is attributed mostly to flooding and hail. Cutworm, wireworm and gopher damage has been reported, along with leaf diseases and
root rots.
Haying has yet to begin for the majority of producers. Farmers are trying to control weeds but face
challenges due to excess moisture in fields.

The Crazies - One of the best movies of the
year so far. This super scary well made remake
of the 1973 George A. Romero classic about a
small town whose water supply is infected by
a government experiment gone wrong. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell star as the
sheriff and a doctor who discover the plot to
exterminate the townsfolk who have turned
into zombie-like psychopaths with blood lust
on their minds. Great movie - scared the crap
out of me and not many do that any more. Also
kudos to newcomer Joe Anderson as Olyphant’s
deputy in a star making performance. (18A)
Hot Tub Time Machine - The title says it
all. John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Rob Cordday and Clark Duke star as three buddies and
Cusack’s nephew who end up travelling back in
time to the ‘80s to relive and fix their beloved
youths. Think back to the future peppered with
sex, drugs and foul language. This one comes
from Cusack’s production company and is
directed by Steve Pink the people responsible
for Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity. Hot
Tub is not on that level but still has moments
of hilarity and a few great gross out moments.
Good cameos from Crispin Glover and Chevy
Chase too. (18A)
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The
Lightning Thief - Looks like another Harry
Potter inspired family flick to me. (PG)
The White Ribbon - From Michael Haneke
comes the kiss of death for movie renters: a
black and white subtitled film about a rough
subject. But as always, those who like this sort
of thing (me for example) will be rewarded by
this dark twisted tale of a village in the days
before WWI where all the children seem to have
become unbalanced and are acting out psychotic and psycho sexual acts. Not for the faint
of heart but those four or five of you familiar
with Haneke’s work (Funny Games, The Piano
Teacher) will dive in. The rest be afraid, very
afraid. (18A)

Sympathy is extended to the Udell
family, Kris, Scott and Lynn and Ken and
Valerie and girls on the recent passing
of son, brother and uncle Terry Udell.
June 17, a bridal shower was held at
the St. Alphonse Church auditorium for
bride-to-be Natasha Schlosser, daughter
of Dean and Valerie Schlosser. After
the head table was introduced, the gifts
were opened. During this, the guests
were asked 20 questions about Natasha.
The shower committee served raspberry
shortcake, fresh fruit and beverages.
Each guest also was given either a wedding gown or wedding cake shaped sugar
cookie beautifully decorated by bridesmaid Lindley Paulsen. Natasha will
marry Craig Martin, son of Scott and
Heather Martin July 17 at St. Alphonse
Roman Catholic Church, Viscount.
Friday June 18, the Village of Viscount council held its annual summer
barbecue at the home of village administrator Valerie and Dean Schlosser. Steak
and chicken were barbecued. Baked potatoes, potluck salads and desserts completed the delicious meal. This year the
Communities in Bloom Committee was
also invited to attend so the village could
show their appreciation of beautifying the neighbourhood. A Chinese golf
tournament was organized and others
played a beanbag toss game. Mayor
Moe Kirzinger presented little gifts to
the winners of the golf. A-side winning
team was John Dale and Cory Leffler
and second prize went to John Marcoux
and Michelle Leffler. B-side winners
were Greg Wagner and Ron Gusikoski.
It was a beautiful evening for everyone
to stay outdoors but mosquito spray was
mandatory! It was a great evening of
laughter and visiting.
The Sunday school picnic was held at
St. John’s Lutheran Church June 20. The
Sunday school children participated in
the service with some wonderful singing
then a tasty potluck lunch was served in

the lower level. Fun and games were had
after lunch in the churchyard where they
participated in the three-legged race, egg
toss, water balloon game, races and baseball. The weather was utterly perfect!
The next event planned for St. John’s is
the annual Vacation Bible School, which
will be held the afternoons of Aug. 9 to
13 with a program held Friday evening.
The annual Viscount open golf tournament organized by Armand Clavelle
was held at the Lanigan Golf and Country Club June 20. Each golfer was awarded many door prizes donated by various
businesses before the golf began. It was
an absolutely perfect day for golf, not too
hot but lots of sun and no wind. Fifty-six
golfers participated in this fun but soggy
Texas scramble event this year. All golfers started with a shotgun tee time,
which was super having everyone on the
course at the same time. There were definitely more water hazards than usual
on the golf course this season and mosquitoes were plentiful. Prize winners
were: Michelle Leffler for women’s longest drive; Ryan Dieno for men’s longest
drive; Laura Schwark for women’s closest to the pin; Kevin Marcoux for men’s
closest to the pin; Audrey Gusikoski,
Megan Marcoux, Chris Desmarais, Rick
Schwark, Joel Schwark and Genaia
(Dean Dieno’s fiancée). Numerous sponsors provide prizes, which were chosen
from a hat draw. No one went home empty handed. After the games all enjoyed a
steak supper with all the trimmings before heading home.
Some members of the Communities
in Bloom Committee, with the help of
some strong volunteers, spent a few
hours June 21 and 22 preparing sites
for the recently purchased benches and
flowerpots. KMK Sales of Humboldt
donated a small tractor with loader to
make the job much easier. Grass was
removed and cement blocks were placed
at various sites around the village in anticipation of the arrival of the benches.
Tax receipts for monetary donations are
accepted by the Village of Viscount to
help offset costs.

VCS awards presentations
June 17, Viscount Central School held
its annual awards afternoon with staff,
students, parents, presenters and guests
with principal Christy Baumann as
emcee.

just one student for a number of these

THE WATROUS MANITOU
MONDAY, JUNE 28, 2010 • 11
Manitou Beach
Greetings everyone. Remember there are numerous activities planned by
our Rec. Board to celebrate
Canada Day. So come and
enjoy the day and then the
fireworks at dusk. Watch
for posters and ads. Also
watch the Western Classic
Horse Shoe Tournament
a couple of days later
at the local pits. I think
volunteers are needed to
help with the concession
booth. Look and listen
for a venue change for
bingo July 1. It will be
somewhere in Manitou
Springs Hotel as the hall
was booked earlier.
June 23, I did a short
roam along the lake and
was happy to see rocks
had been put in places to
reinforce the shore. I wonder how many more tons
will be needed during the
summer?
Also June 23, a small
but willing group of Community in Bloom volunteers spent time weeding the tree nursery and
enjoyed the surprise ice
lollies. They were a great
pick-me-up and the nursery looks much better in a
weed free state.
These calm and windless mornings have allowed for the lake to be so
incredibly still and create
breathtaking clear reflections of the far shore in
the lake. A photo just will
not do the panorama justice. The sunrises have
been rather spectacular
recently - some early birds
will have noticed these.
Over the weekend busy
people rearranged the
wheel of rocks on the far
shore into something else.
I am not sure if it was a
medicine wheel or not but
something of significance
to First Nations people.
Common myth of lakeshore development (from
Saskatchewan Environment blurb at PARCS
meeting): I am entitled to
a view of the lake; I paid
good money for my lot.
Reply: Even though you
are one of the few privileged landowners to have
a property next to a lake,
this does not entitle you to
a view of the lake. If a reserve, which may be treed,
separates your lot from
the lake, you do not have
the right to cut down the
vegetation on someone
else’s property without
approval! Also, you may
not undertake any other
farms of landscaping on
the reserves without permits from both the municipality and provincial
authorities.
Another common myth
of
lakeshore development: My cottage needs a
sand beach to add value
to the property. Reply: If
time and geology did not
create a sand beach naturally, it is unlikely an artificial sand beach will remain where you put it. Do
not waste your money on
replacing lost sand year
after year; use the public
beach (it is safer for swimming and protected from
boating). Any alteration
to the beach, foreshore or
Sue Alcock
lakeshore of a fish bearing water body requires
approval from the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans as well as a permit
from the Ministry of the
Environment.
1925 Watrous Signal
gleanings: in April, liquor
stores open in the cities of
Saskatoon and Yorkton.
You can mail order your
alcoholic beverages but no
COD or cheques allowed.
There will be no beer store
for Watrous. The Arcade
Dance Hall opened for the
season Saturday, May 23
and Art Furney and his
Six Melody Men, late of
the Country Club in Winnipeg, play every evening.
Strongman L. Gontcharoff gave a demonstration of twisting steel and
iron at the arcade and
people thought he was a
fake!
May 14, the Manitou
Beach Hotel was destroyed by fire and on
the same night a cottage
near the property of Drs.
Hixon and Stipe was also
ablaze. An auction sale of
fire-damaged goods from
the hotel was held June
20. The dance pavilion at
the east end of the village
will be enlarged to double
its former size and the
Guy Watkins orchestra of
Saskatoon will open at the
East Beach Dance Pavilion for the season Saturday, June 20. In early July,
two trains brought in over
1,800 excursionists from
Saskatoon.
1926 Watrous Signal
gleanings:
smallpox,
mumps and measles are
about in the province.
Assorted booze related
charges are before the
magistrates. Apr. 15, a
promotional article listed
these amenities: the village has year round bathing houses; an immense
swimming pool (White’s);
two dance halls (arcade
and east side); three hotels (Whitmore’s, Lakeview and Manitou Beach
Hotel); YWCA Camp; tennis courts; golf course;
eleven acres of park for
picnickers and campers
with tables, benches and
water taps; stores; booths;
restaurants; refreshment
stands; post office; government telephone; drug
store (Dr. Hixon’s); barber
shop and billiard parlour
combined; oil and gas filling stations and public
drinking fountains.
Mr. McEachern is the
proprietor of the arcade,
Art Furney and his Sophomore Band will be playing
there while the light lunch
parlour will be run by Joe
Zabow. At the Mauretania
Hotel, which can handle
60 guests, the dining room
is open. Dr. A. Ernst will
be the chiropractor. There
is a demand for Markham
and Co. and Gallagher &
Son lake products as well
as a growing demand for
summer
accommodations.
Guy Watkins and his
Harmony Six are at Danceland for their second season; he has been broadcasting on station CFQC
Saskatoon for the winter.
Each Wednesday will be
ladies night and Sunday
afternoons will have concerts of classic and operatic music.
Madam Lil-Nora, clairvoyant, phrenologist and
palmist is in residence as
is palmist KARO.
In July, special trains
and
other
excursion
trains, including four
chartered by Guy Watkins,
ran people from Saskatoon to the resort, as well
as July 12 for the Orangeman’s excursion. August
weekends there were also
capacity crowds.
Wild flowers in July:
purple phlox, Brown-Eyed
Susans, prairie chrysanthemums, hare bells etc.
Yes, Manitou Beach
was the place to be in the
Roaring Twenties . . .
See you all at the July 1
celebrations – look at the
ads for event information.
Best wishes, Sue.

The weather has finally improved and things are
drying up a little. We were sorry to hear that Andy and
Connie Oakes lost their home in the flood at Irvine,
Alta. Hopefully they can get some help and get back to
their lives. It makes our troubles seem very small.
I hope all fathers had a wonderful day Sunday. Ken
got cards and phone calls, so he was happy. We did celebrate Father’s Day and his birthday when our family
was all here.
Tammy Federspiel spent several days here visiting parents Brian and Sandra Federspiel, grandfather
Merlin Federspiel and other friends and relatives.
A large crowd enjoyed a barbecue put on by the
credit union and co-op in Simpson. The chefs did a
wonderful job of cooking burgers and hotdogs.
Best wishes to Sean Nimchuck who spent a couple
days in Humboldt hospital getting his tonsils out. Hope
you are feeling better now Sean.
June 2, the Imperial School Gr. 7 and 8
class hosted an ice cream sale. Mrs.
Baade donated the ice cream and the Gr.
7 and 8 students donated the toppings. A
total of $200.25 was raised with the funds
going to the Imperial School playground
project. Construction of the new playground equipment is scheduled for late
July (26 or 27) and volunteers are needed
to complete the project. Anyone willing
to help should contact Jade VanDamme
at 963-2047.

Writer’s career path novel idea
Need
Hail Insurance?
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
People who enjoy grabbing a good book no matter what the length will
more than likely take the
time to read it from cover
to cover. Fortunately for
book worms, there are
authors who take just as
much pleasure creating a
piece of work.
Janice Dick has completed an array of writing
from inspirational pieces,
book reviews, short stories and children’s stories
to news articles, poetry
and fiction books.
Early on, writing was
never really in the forefront for Dick. “I didn’t
aspire to be a writer. I was
just an ordinary girl from
an ordinary family, and I
didn’t know I could be a
writer. But I have always
loved reading.”
Janice said it was not
until 1989 - 14 years after
she moved to a farm near
Guernsey with husband
Wayne - when an idea
popped into her mind that
she could do what she does
today. “. . . Gertrude Story

presented a workshop at
the Lanigan Public Library and suggested that
those of us present should
form a writing group. We
did, and found encouragement and camaraderie
in meeting together with
others of like mind.”
With that, Carlton Trail
Writers met monthly for
over 15 years and Dick
completed a correspondence writing course in
the first few years that required her to experiment
with various genres. She
also attended a couple of
Christian writing conferences for direction and
confidence, which allowed
her to get her feet wet.
Her first published
piece - a highlight of hers
- was a children’s Christmas story, which came out
in 1991. After attending a
writing conference, Dick
was encouraged to submit it for publication.
The magazine accepted
the work “and of course I
was thrilled, and terrified
by this success. I say terrified because when you
put your writing out there
for people to read, you become vulnerable, open to
criticism.
“I’m not a very adventurous person, so I have
often needed a push along
my writing path. Since
I’m a Christian, I believe
that God has an active
part in my life. I believe
He gives us certain gifts
and expects us to hone
them and use them. I felt a
strong urge to attend that
meeting at the library in
1989, as well as the confer-
ence in Winnipeg in 1991,
where I was encouraged
to submit my children’s
story. The writing course
I mentioned was gifted
to me by a friend when I
could not have afforded it
on my own. I was invited
to present workshops at
a couple of conferences
after my first books came
out, and I was able to
make excellent contacts
in many areas of the
writing life. To me, these
things are the direct leading from God.”
From that experience,
Dick decided to continue
on as a writer and set out
to write a book about her
family history, in the form
of a novel. “There was a
lot I didn’t know about
writing a novel when I
started, but I just wrote
the kind of story I liked
to read and it was published.”
The mother of three
and grandmother of eight
has continued writing.
The list of her works,
among others, includes: a
historical fiction trilogy
- Calm Before the Storm,
Eye of the Storm and Out
of the Storm; 65 book reviews for the Living Books
newsletter; a couple of reviews for her denominational magazine; several
reflection-type
pieces;
short stories and articles.
She has also edited several books and spent four
months on a church history book project.
When an idea pops into
a writer’s head, a long road
can await. “My difficulty
is always in the initial
plotting. Once I have the
plot planned out, the writing has direction. I like
the editing best because
then I have something
concrete to work with.
Unfortunately, there is no

her career, including a

Dick’s website
easy step-by-step method
for writing a novel. There
are programs available
that aid the process, but
writing is still hard work.
“My first historical
fiction manuscript took
me almost two years to
complete. The second and
third took about a year
each, since much of the
research had already been
done with the first book.
The point is to create a
work that is the best I can
make it, while adjusting
my time to whatever deadlines are in play.”

THE WATROUS MANITOU
From page twelve:
THE NEXT
CHAPTER
in Colorado Springs. “The
purpose of the conference was to help us reconnect with Christ as our
source of creativity and
thus be reinspired in our
writing. Four successful
MONDAY, JUNE 28, 2010 • 13
Christian authors offered
their expertise to the 50
to 60 attendees and since
the group was relatively
small, we were able to connect personally with the
authors and share meals
with them.”
Dick, who taught a
writing course at Carlton
Trail Community College
in Watrous over the winter, has also recently fin-
ished a fourth historical
fiction manuscript that
is being shopped by her
agent; now, the author is
weighing a few options:
“One is to do a sequel to
the historical I just completed, and the other is to
work on the contemporary cozy that is sitting in
my computer files.”
Regardless of
how
daunting those tasks are,
Dick does not regret her
choice of career. “In spite
of the fact that writing is
not an easy task, it’s what
I love to do. I can’t imagine
not writing. I am not as
dedicated as some who
write every day and put
out a new book every year,
or every six months, or
even more often, but I do
plan to continue for many
years if I am able.”

Gardens are slowly
growing but our cucumbers do not seem to want
to come up. Guess we will
just have to reseed them or
buy them already started.
Several folks have
water in their basements
and what a pain that is as
we have the same problem.
Ellen
Farago
of
Watrous, formerly of the
Plunkett area, spent a few
days in Regina and Moose
Jaw visiting family. She
got to see all her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Ellen has returned back home now.
Several folks from here

LIFE COACHING . . . LIFE ALTERING
without remembering
the work I’ve done with
Debra on identifying the
thought, asking myself if
it is true, determining the
reality of the experience
and how that thought
made me feel. If I were
not caught up in thinking that original thought,
how might I feel or what
might I do instead?
The whole point
behind identifying those
thoughts that pull me
away is to release myself
from the power of that
belief and alleviate the
suffering it is causing in
my life. If you remember
the idea I shared in my
second column regarding
our instant respect for
our physical senses
(sound, feel or taste, for
instance) but not for our
thoughts and emotions,
10065SS00
then you might understand the idea that me
learning to cut off the
negative thoughts and
feelings that follow the
experience of forgetting
to do something, is the
same as pulling my hand
away from a hot stove:
I am protecting myself
from needless pain so
that I may carry on with
the important and desireable aspects of life. That
is a very powerful image
for me, and one I will
never forget - of that, I
can be sure.
And now my homework becomes my
life work, so to speak.
Without getting too
philosophical about it, I
do intend to reflect often
on the time I spent with
Debra and the discussions we had. I appreciate
more than I can say her
straightforward, compassionate approach to
helping me work through
some difficult issues, and
I greatly appreciate the
sense I gained of having
opened my awareness
to the many ways I can
choose to respond to
issues, problems and conflicts that will continue
to come up. For life is not
without its struggles, but
it is up to us how we face
those concerns and what
effect we allow them to
have on us.
If my journey of broadening my self-awareness
sounds interesting to you,
contact Debra for details
on how to travel the path
yourself. Call her at 2573997, or visit www.empoweredwomen.ca or www.

TENEYCKE,
Donald Charles
Donald
Teneycke,
aged 64 years, passed
away near Young, Sask. on
Wednesday, June 16, 2010.
Don was born May 16,
1946 to Albert and Dorothy
Teneycke. Before he returned to farming, he went
on many adventures, such
as skydiving, acquiring his
pilot’s licence, travelling to
Mexico, as well as planting
trees and building power
lines in British Columbia.
Following that, he began his career in grain farming and
raising purebred Charolais cattle. His interest in cabinet
making and carpentry began when he designed and built
the family home. Don and Deb (Townley) were married
on March 27, 1976. Two children, Devon and Kristin, followed in 1979 and 1981. Don was very active in the community. He coached hockey and curling, and participated
in both competitive and recreational curling and rec
hockey with the Young Falling Stars. He avidly participated as both an actor and set designer for the Young
Community Drama Club. He served for many years as
councillor for the RM of Morris and on numerous boards
including Young United Church Board, the Amalgamation Committee for the Young Lutheran United Church,
Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, Central Area Transportation Committee (CATPC), and the Agriculture Development and Diversification (ADD) Board.
Don is survived by his wife, Debra; son Devon; daughter Kristin; siblings Lorraine (Albert) Holdner, Kenneth,
Sandra (Ray) Christensen, Ross (Lauri), as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
He was predeceased by his parents Albert and Dorothy.

The moment you died,
Our hearts split in two,
The one side Àlled with
memories,
The other died with you.
We often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast
asleep,
And take a walk down
memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day,
But missing you is a
heartache,
That never goes away.
We hold you tight within our
hearts,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without
you,
But it will never be the
same.
- From your loving children,
Debbie, Sheldon, Colleen,
Sandra and Kelly.

The famous rainbow-coloured arch welcomes both local dancers and those who travel

From page 20:
DANCELAND
“I was a partner with Kevin,” said Arnold Strueby, the other half of the current ownership. “They agreed to a price
but they never said they were moving
it.”
It was not long after that the movers
came to inspect the building, and Strueby explained Danceland would not be
leaving Manitou Beach.
So in 2001, Arnold and Millie Strueby stepped in, bought the hall and have
owned it ever since. The pair hold various events Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and also open it up to
others.
“We are looking at it as a business.
There are not too many dance halls left
strictly for dancing.”
Millie said they continued insulating
the facility and other changes took place
as a kitchen was installed, windows that
replicating the originals were put in and
an office is now used.
Toonie Tuesdays, which many local
residents attend, are also featured each
week - the modern version of a jitney
dance. The building is also available
for others wanting to rent it for family
gatherings, weddings, graduation after
parties, conventions and other events requiring a large area.
While there have been some changes,
many things stayed the same and have
been kept up because of being privately
owned. The floor, structure and much of
the inside still feature original 80-year-old
materials. Live music is also a mainstay.
“People come for live music. There is just
something about seeing a live band.”
She said the province is blessed with
quite a few old time bands so an emphasis has always been placed on getting
them if possible.
Through the years provincial acts
graced the place; in addition, the likes of
Mart Kenny, Wilf Carter, Bobby Gimby
of The Happy Gang, Don Messer and his
Islanders, Gene Dloughy, Clem Gelowitz
and the Inkspots, Buddy Holly and Guess
Who have all strutted their stuff.
Millie said a highlight of being
owners of Danceland has not only been
the people coming through the doors, but
also television crews that have promoted
the area, including a dance by TSN hosts
Darren Dutchyshen and Jennifer Hedger
last year when they broadcast live from
Watrous. Over the winter, the movie Hard
Core Logo II was filmed in Manitou Beach
and Danceland was used.
As the hall has gained popularity, the
Struebys said people from all across the
globe come and visit. Arnold shared a
story of a Saskatoon man flying to Thailand. When he arrived in that country, he
was asked about Danceland but had no
knowledge of it. After his stay in Thailand, he came to Danceland to check out
the place for himself. Other stories have
come up where European airports have
featured pictures of the place and flights
have had brochures with Danceland’s
mug shot.
Groups like ballroom dancers, pattern
dancers, Scottish country dancers and
square dancers also use the building and
Strueby said their polka fest has drawn
over 500 people on a Saturday night.
Strueby figured around 5,000 people
visit their place in a year and with the
80th celebration, they are holding different events throughout the year to mark
the occasion.
“We are trying to touch on different
types of music.” She also talked about
having a week where there will be music
every day.
Arnold said hitting that dance floor is
addicting and easy once you get the hang
of it. “The first note that the band plays, at
least 80 per cent of the people are on the
floor and they stay until the end.”
The 83-year-old said it keeps him going
and provides some good exercise. “You
dance for a while and then you want to
dance all the time.”
Millie said even after eight decades,
“We want to keep the old time flavour going. It’s our bread and butter.
“The most gratifying part is people go
home happy. It is the people that make you
come to dance and socialize.”

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Dancing through the decades
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
One of the most recognizable and
well-known buildings in the prairies
has turned 80 and it continues to house
memories of old and new.
Danceland, located at Manitou Beach,
has withstood the test of time and has
welcomed bands and patrons alike for
decades.
Information from ‘A self-guided tour
of Danceland’ and the local history book
Prairie Reflections said the original
building was built years earlier in 1919,
but was taken down, making way for the
current facility. Financed by Wellington
White, the hall was built and ready for
dancing in 1930 and Guy Watkins later
leased the building and continued to
play at dances during the summer.
Watkins and the Art Harmony Six
broadcast by remote over CFQC radio
every Friday, attracting hundreds of
dancers. Sunday afternoons the band
would play special concerts of more
classical music.
People could get into the dance hall
for free, sit on the benches and listen
to music all night. However, those who
wanted to dance had to pay. Current
co-owner Millie Strueby said the dance
floor was roped off for those wishing to
kick up their heels. It cost 10 cents or
three for a quarter for each jitney dance.
Jitney, an English word, means nickel
and Strueby said since it takes two
people to dance, 10 cents was issued for
a ticket. Floor walker and manager Del
Van Buskirk would collect fees during
the evening’s event.
The floor itself was and still is a big
part of the reason why dancers twirl
their way to Manitou Beach. The 5,000
square foot maple floor is tongue and
groove and was laid on a sub floor over
bales of horsehair, giving it its spring.
The rolls of horsehair were put four feet
apart, wrapped in burlap and tightly
wound with wire. The top subfloor has
stops so the floor only sinks down from
one to one and one-half inches. The
cushioning then brings it back up, giving it that floating feel. The horsetail
hair used in construction filled one entire train car.
The unique structure of the building
is very recognizable. Seven inch square
timbers, cut from a single piece of wood,
were used in the arched roof. Those
support the 110 foot width and 140 foot
length of the hall.
Similar dance halls were located in
Winnipeg, Vancouver and Seattle but
none remain.
Eight years after Danceland was
built, Ken Peaker and his Bessborough Orchestra were hired and in 1941,
Peaker bought the place from the Wellington White estate. Then, in 1953, five
businessmen from Watrous purchased
Danceland. John Alcock, Jim Gibney,
Ken Gordon, Francis McArthur and Kelly Teal were all involved in the takeover,
which lasted until 1971 when Gibney
joined Burt Crawford, Ben Kessler and
Tom Magnuson as owners.
Magnuson sold his share five years
later to Lionel Sproule and Dave Schafer
also came on board.
By this time, dances that were held
during the summer became weekend
only affairs as different orchestras
played.
Vic and Irene Murray were the next
owners of the large building, buying it
in 1985, expanding portions of it to allow
for the tables to be taken off the floor,
and then selling it to Kevin and Marg
Harcourt in 1996.
Around 16 dances were held in the
summer but when the Harcourts took
over, they began insulating it to operate
year round.
Years later Kevin and Marg decided
to put the place up for sale and an interested party from Alberta was looking to
buy it.
