The road has been a long one but it appears that it may be coming closer to an end. Finding physicians and working on reopening
emergency services in Watrous has been a main focus for quite some
time. Alongside the local health advisory committee, the Saskatoon
Health Region has been actively seeking more physicians for the
community.
Director of practitioner staff affairs for the Saskatoon Health Region Corey Miller provided an update on the current physician situation in the community.
Right now, Dr. Adeyemi Shonubi has been working out of the clinic since February and has been joined by Dr. Ria Smit who has been
taking appointments two days during the week.
Also back in the area is Dr. Jacobus Rysbergen who is practicing
in Imperial. Miller said, “Although it is not part of our health region,
it is deemed to be one of our satellite hubs from Watrous in the primary health care model. We are very happy and excited to have them
both back.”
Another physician, Dr. Lehlohonolo Latakgomo has her feet on
Canadian soil and is now taking part in the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment process. Miller said the
new process the government has started assesses the skill sets and
abilities of those applying to practice medicine from international
graduate countries.
Latakgomo will take a few weeks of classroom time and is required to write a certain number of exams. After that she will go
into a field assessment with sponsoring physicians to evaluate her
skill sets and then see whether she is eligible for a license.
“If everything goes as planned and she is deemed to be qualified
and skilled enough to work, she would be able to start working at
the clinic as early as July 15. (That is) depending on whether she has

Multiple charges have been laid against an
18-year-old male in connection with one of two
vehicles that attempted to get away from the

Friday, June 8, Watrous RCMP attempted to stop
an unregistered vehicle on Main Street in Watrous.
The vehicle then fled through an alley at a high
rate of speed, narrowly missing a pedestrian. The
RCMP then stopped following the male, as it was
too dangerous. The male was later located and

Capturing the outdoors
through a lens
June 18, 2012
With an eye for creating magic with the snap of a
shutter, a local teenager has been transforming ordinary
items into extraordinary pictures.
Megan Allen first began to snap pictures when she
was little “but never thought I would enjoy it so much.”
The 14-year-old who makes sure to grab her camera as
she heads outdoors said she has always liked the idea of
taking pictures.
The Watrous resident snaps shots of various objects
and subjects but it is nature scenes that she enjoys most.
“I decided to start taking pictures when I took my first
small camera outside one day to try it out. I enjoyed it
more than I thought I would.”
Since that first time, Allen’s passion for taking pictures really took off about a year and a half ago and she
has created quite the portfolio.
From a tiny ladybug on a leaf, a chubby robin, a closeup shot of pencil crayons, the keys of a piano and flowers that are soaking up the sun, the photographer gives
viewers a different perspective on objects.
Allen has also upgraded her camera from the one she
started with and has been enjoying her new-found experience.
“I started out with a small camera and then after I decided I wanted to get really into photography, I got a better one. I now use a Canon Power Shot SX40 HS. It’s only
a point and shoot but it’s a very good camera.”
Allen recalls a picture of a robin and another of flowers as her favourites and enjoys the experience of taking
pictures and trying to capture that perfect shot.
“I like how you can show other people how you see the
world around you.”
Allen said her love of photography has spurred on
the idea of making it a full-time thing once she finishes
school.
“I really enjoy it and I would love to make a career out
of it.”
The budding artist also has some of her pictures available for purchase on her facebook page.

Project X - From Hangover creator Todd Phillips
comes this raunchy party movie. Three high school kids
decide to make a name for themselves by throwing a
legendary party, and they do. What follows is a sex, drugs
and rock ‘n roll spectacle of debauchery. Good stuff for
the teen crowd though they likely should not be allowed
to see it. (18A)
Wanderlust - Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston play a
New York couple who find themselves out of work. Their
solution - join a hippy commune and just be. Funny stuff,
good supporting performances by Malin Akerman and
Justin Theroux as a couple of the head hippies. Aniston
continues to do impressive work after Horrible Bosses
and this one. We can almost forget that horrible string of
rom coms she did. (14A)
Big Miracle - For the family crowd this week comes
this based on a true story of a reporter (Drew Barrymore) who rallies around a family of grey whales that
have become trapped in the arctic ice. The real event became a media sensation. John Krasinski (The Office) and
Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) co-star. (PG)
TV on DVD - Two great ones this week. Louis CK’s
brilliant uncomfortable sit com Louie releases its season two and the twisted Elijah Wood comedy Wilfred
where Wood plays a depressed man who sees his next
door neighbours dog as a person in a dog suit who talks
and guides or gets him into trouble. The rest of the world
sees a dog. Jason Gann who also created the show plays
Wilfred and the two get into some unbelievable adventures, Peanut Butter! Both 14A.

Coin laundry
changes hands
June 18, 2012
While operations will remain the same, a Main
Street business has found itself with a new owner. Watrous Coin Laundry was purchased earlier this month
along with various rental properties from a long-time
business figure in the community.
New owner Ryan Kostenuk said when he and wife
Karen purchased the rental properties, they also acquired Watrous Coin Laundry as part of the package
from Maynard and Fran Fossen.
“We looked at keeping it together.”
After officially taking over June 1, Kostenuk said
customers using the laundry services, located on Main
Street in Watrous, can expect business as usual. “We
are keeping it the same . . . we intend to keep it running
as well as the last owner.”
The Fossens who have had various ventures in the
community felt it was time to slow down a bit.
“It has been wonderful. It has been a real good experience and a great town to do business in,” said Maynard.
Fossen originally built the coin laundry in 1964 and
was in partnership with the late Dale Hayter before selling it in 1967. Fossen would later purchase back the facility in 2001 and has had it since.
He and wife Fran have had housing property for the
past 15 or so years until selling them to Kostenuk.
Fossen appreciated the great support from the public
over the years in all their ventures.
But for now, “I have got to stay active to a point, but
not quite as much.”
After selling Henry Kelly Tractor south of Watrous,
Kostenuk got out of the business world for a few years
and then recently started up with a bit of rental property. He then took over the coin laundry and is eager for
the opportunity ahead.
“I am looking forward to it. I think it is a good fit for
me.” He appreciates the continued support from previous customers.

Small business in Watrous chosen
for $50,000 technology makeover
The business of CIC Electric Service in Watrous is
about to change. A small electrical service company that
has been getting by with nothing more than an answering
machine, CIC is being brought into the world of webbased customer service and smart phones, courtesy of a
free technology makeover worth as much as $50,000.
CIC was chosen among 767 entrants vying for the Horizon & SaskTel Extreme Technology Makeover contest.
Their entry told a story of a rural company struggling to
keep up with growing demand as industry and housing
booms in their part of Saskatchewan: “You can imagine
how busy our lonely little phone is. I’m sure every farmer and every business owner in town knows how to reach
us. In fact, our number is probably on most of their speed
dials. Every morning, we write down the messages off
our answering machine and return necessary or emergent phone calls.”
The sole electrical contractor in the Watrous area,
CIC Electric had been struggling to manage a growing
clientele with no website, Interac payment system or email. Its eight employees, who serve a range of residential, farm, commercial and industrial clients, have not
been able to receive blueprints, directions or pictures of
drawings, or respond to email inquiries.
“It will enable us to be a lot more efficient as a business,” said Charles Cruise, owner/operator of CIC Electric. “The technology will allow us to retain and hire
more employees, and to expand into the future.”
This year’s contest drew 767 unique entries, which
were adjudicated by the MBA students at the Edwards
School of Business (University of Saskatchewan) to pick
the top 10 finalists. The finalists were then tasked with
creating a single page business plan on the impact tech-

nology could have on their business. The three judges
for the competition, representatives from the University
of Regina’s Paul Hill School of Business, as well as the
Regina and Saskatchewan Chambers of Commerce, saw
that CIC had potential not only to grow its business but
to deliver great benefits to their employees and the wider
community they serve.
“This year’s Extreme Technology Makeover is a terrific illustration of what a lot of smaller Saskatchewan
companies are experiencing,” said Raj Randhawa, CEO
of Horizon. “When business is booming, it can be a challenge finding time to make the technology improvements
that help you keep up and develop your capacity, but as
you can see with CIC, it is critical that you do.”
SaskTel President and CEO, Ron Styles, said the team
of consultants from Horizon and SaskTel will soon get to
work making CIC into a modern business with all of the
latest communication technologies.
“Everything will change for them,” Styles said. “Simply by adding some new computers with internet and
email they will be able to receive blueprints and other
things from their customers that they never could before.
That alone will increase their capacity to serve customers and expand their business.”
Horizon and SaskTel plan to begin the makeover work
with CIC Electric this summer. The makeover will consist of a total technology assessment from Horizon, as
well as new tools and hardware from the contests premier partner SaskTel.
The second place winner, Top Line Cabinetry of Saskatoon and third place winner, Bella Vista Inn of Humboldt, will receive a technology assessment through Horizon and additional prizes from SaskTel.

Editorial and Opinion
Putting on the brakes
With summer holidays fast encroaching, the discussion at our staff coffee table turned to travelling. I, in
particular, was mentioning how I wasn’t looking forward to our drive to the lake this summer, because we’re
pulling a trailer and a boat. While I was very carefully
trying to keep that under my breath and direct it just at
Laurie and Melanie, somehow Robin picked up on my
comment.
With a look that said it all, he growled, “You don’t
ever look forward to driving.” I quickly denied his assertion, pointing out that I don’t mind being either the
driver or passenger when the sky is blue and the road
is straight and the temperature is between 10˚ and 20˚C
and we are the only ones on the road.
Yes, he’s right and I can hardly deny it - I hardly ever,
really, enjoy travelling. Now, for those of you who might
have read last week’s column, I’ll just point out that a
Sunday drive around the countryside does not count as
travelling. That’s exploring, and it’s done at a slightly
slower rate of speed (not as slow as I’d like on the gravel
roads, although eventually we do have to get back home,
preferably before dark).
No, by travelling I mean driving several hours or
more, usually either pulling a boat or a trailer (or like
this year, both - shudder), and often through extreme
weather conditions - either blazing heat or pouring
rain. The heat means our windows are rolled down,
and I have to yell to be heard, and I can’t hear anyone
else or the radio. Pouring rain means we are hydroplaning (YES WE ARE, ROBIN!) and either blinded by
sprayback from the vehicle in front (which is driving at
a perfectly reasonable 70 km/hr) or hypnotized into a
deathly stupor by the windshield wipers. Travelling also
includes having to use the washroom three km past the
last town and 37 km before the next. It means time spent
when I’d rather be reading, but I can’t, because when
I was younger I read while riding in the rear-facing
seat of a station wagon and got sick to my stomach and
haven’t been able to read in a car ever since. Travelling also means I’m on hyper-alert for every oncoming
vehicle’s suspicious movement, wild animals in the
ditch, slow vehicles in front, fast vehicles behind, and
every strange cloud formation in the sky - all because by
watching, I can somehow prevent any number of untold
tragedies from happening. I tell you, that’s why travelling is unpleasant and exhausting.
And probably moreso for poor Robin.
BACK TO
THE BOOKS
It’s that time of year . . . when the leaves fall and university, college and
technical school classes call. It’s time for students to head back to their
studies in Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Edmonton, Winnipeg and so
on for another hectic year.
But that doesn’t mean they have to lose touch with their home town and
all of the happenings of their friends and family “back home”. Every
week The Watrous Manitou can keep them informed about what’s going
on. It’s just like a “letter from home” that they will receive each and
every week, if you subscribe now.
A full year’s subscription is only $36 (GST included), anywhere in
Canada. That’s less than the cost of one chocolate bar or one cup of
coffee per week! Even better, subscribe online for only $28 and receive
the paper first thing every Monday morning, regardless of location.
Simply fill out the form below, enclosing payment for the subscription, or
call/email with a credit card number and mailing details. We will do the
rest. Within a very short period of time you will start receiving a weekly
visit from a familiar home town friend - The Watrous Manitou.

Birthday cakes tasty tradition
A birthday cake is a
birthday cake. Right? Well,
not quite.
It used to be Mom
would bake a cake - white
or chocolate, depending
on your preference, and
then decorate it with a
simple icing, plunk some
candles on it and everyone
was happy. Sometimes we
would get some candies
or decorating “thingies”
on top. Of course, it was
served with ice cream.
Once I remember I
got a money cake. After
baking, Mom carefully
poked money into the
pieces before icing. I had
two friends at that birthday and everyone got at
least two dollars (which at
that time was quite a lot
of money). It was a great
birthday.
Another time I got a
Jell-O birthday cake. Now,
before you think that was
a weird thing, remember
Jell-O was the latest fad
and came in lots of flavours. Mom set the Jell-O
in molds with designs flower, butterfly and other
stuff. Again, everyone
was thrilled and the Jell-O
was served with whipped
cream (real stuff). It was a
treat.
Fast forward to today.
What a difference. I do not
think my granddaughter
would appreciate having
Jell-O for a birthday cake.
Birthday cakes today are
often a little more decorated and shaped. There are
pillows, rag dolls, wishing
wells, dinosaurs, horses,
lions, butterflies, solar
systems, penguins, turtles,
castles, even pinatas and
your choice of your favourite Disney character.
Some are professionally
decorated and some moms
today are very creative
and make their own.
While the cakes may
have evolved, many
traditions remain the
same. Candles on the cake
originate from German
feast Kinderfest (children
in German is kinder).
Count Ludwig von Zinzendorf celebrated his
50th birthday with a large
festival during which time
a very large (huge in fact)
cake was served. Holes
were made in the cake
according to the number
of years of the Count’s
age. Candles were stuck
in these holes. When it
was time to serve the cake
it was said the prince’s
entire livery was needed
to carry it out.
Others believe candles
were placed on the cake
so the smoke could carry

their wishes and prayers to the gods. Perhaps
that is why the birthday
person is urged to make a
wish before blowing out
the candles. Blowing out
the candles in one breath
means the wish will come
true and the birthday guy
or gal will have good luck
all year.
I came across this very
interesting tidbit. It seems
in medieval times English
would place symbolic
objects like coins, rings
and thimbles in the batter
of the cake. The belief
was that whoever found
the coin would be wealthy
but the unlucky finder of
the thimble would never
marry. The one who found
the ring would be the next
to marry. I am glad I had
dimes and nickels in my
money cake - everyone
went home happy.
I am not sure what
happened to the “royal
bumps” or the “pinch to
grow an inch” but I’m not
sorry to see these two traditions fall by the wayside.
I always hated them and I
had one especially mean
aunt who really enjoyed
giving out that pinch.
It must not have worked
because I stopped growing
at 5’ 1” and I am blaming it
on her.

Ed claims the convocation

many young people think
they are know-it-alls with
the right to riot as they
like. Case in point, the
university students protesting higher tuition fees
in the streets of Montreal.
Does rioting count as a
field trip to explore the
finer points of damaging
innocent businesses and
disturbing the peace?”
I had no answer for Ed
except many students are
not majoring in rioting.
Most, I believe, seek to act
in our society in a positive
way. Many others besides
students also protest for
their own self-interest.
There are many celebrated universities and scholars of learning, but even
institutions of higher education have their limitations. The greatest minds
or authorities in a field
of study today can be discredited tomorrow. Their
findings are proven wrong
or incomplete. Know-italls have stale dates, just
like a loaf of bread.
It is good to celebrate
with those receiving their
degrees. Degrees proclaim years of study and
learning so that graduates can contribute to society in the area of their
talents and interests such
as: business, law, education, medicine, pharmacy,
veterinary
medicine,
dentistry, nursing, agriculture, etc. People do not
all have the same talents
and interests. Our different gifts and talents are
meant to be used for the
common good, not so we
can become personally
rich or celebrated. The
Bible speaks of our human body as being made
up of many parts. “The
eye cannot say to the hand
‘I don’t need you!’ And the
head cannot say to the
feet, ‘I don’t need you!’ . .
. If one part suffers every
part suffers with it; if one
part is honoured, every
part rejoices with it.”
There is always a need for
us all, with or without degrees, to contribute to the
common good.
Today, there may be a
lack of concern for the
common good and a debate about the most necessary research and scholarly pursuits. The Bible
warns, “The fool says in
his heart there is no God.”
It also cautions of those
who do not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God who neither
glorify Him as God nor
give thanks to Him. When
it comes to God, where
are the wise man and the
scholar? The wisdom of
the world is foolishness in
God’s sight. He knows the
thoughts of the wise are
futile. Do we realize God
is the smartest of all?

Susan Westerfield, 53, was riding her

She managed to keep her bike on the road,

of her teeth and sliced her lip. Although
she was wearing a helmet, it did not have
a protective face guard. The nerve damage
in her face is so bad that she cannot feel
anything in her mouth, including pain.
My online source reports that it is not
the first time an incident like this has
happened. Len Berman reports that in
1998 a guy was playing golf in Haydenville, Mass. when his tee shot smashed
off a Toyota. The ball caromed back onto
the golf course onto the green and into
the cup for a hole in one. The driver was
invited to be on the “Tonight” show and
Jay Leno paid for the dents, leaving Berman to wonder if that sets any precedent.
“Maybe Jay can take care of Susan’s dental bills?” Berman wondered.
New Hampshire State Police say a
nasty incident started when one driver cut
off another as they were going through a
toll plaza in Hooksett. What started with
obscene gestures escalated until Nicholas Richer, 18, pulled out a flare gun, and
fired it at the other driver. But the gun did
not go off until he pulled it back into his
car. The flare ended up discharging inside
his own car, setting the front seat on fire.
A young passenger narrowly missed being hit. The other driver called 911 and a
state trooper caught up with Richer at a
gas station and charged him with reckless
conduct and criminal threatening, both
felonies. My correspondent Mike Straw
quipped, “While the youth in the passenger seat was offered a change of pants.”
The Los Angeles city council voted to

tried to question him, he continued to negotiate with the teller. Robert Strank, 39,
who has a record of previous robbery convictions, was jailed for attempted robbery.
My online source, Randy Cassingham,
joked, “The good news is, he got $2,000
from the heist. The bad news is, that didn’t
quite cover the paramedics’ bill.”
A woman in Israel swallowed her toothbrush. Brad Dickson reported, “A team

Sports and Recreation
The Point
After
The first preseason
game is in the books and
with one more to go before
the CFL regular season gets
underway, I think it is fair
to say that fans have been
anxiously awaiting football
to get going.
It won’t be long now
until the season kicks off
June 29 with the green and
white in Hamilton to face a
few familiar faces in Henry
Burris and Andy Fantuz.
So how will teams do
this year? Here are my
early thoughts and, as always, feel free to take them
with a grain of salt.
Starting in the east here
is how teams finished last
year’s regular season: WinThis week is all

Toronto (12 pts).

second-straight year. After
Daniel Bushman
going 10-8 last season, I
think they will be battling
for the last playoff spot. Prediction: fourth in east.
• For years it has been Montreal leading the way but
with an aging Anthony Calvillo and a few offseason changes, this year will be a challenge. Take Calvillo out of the
equation and the team will be cellar dwellers. However,
Calvillo always finds a way to get it done and move into
the playoffs. Prediction: healthy QB means third this
year.
• Hamilton has seen drastic changes to its offense.
Former Calgary quarterback Henry Burris comes in to
replace Kevin Glenn, Ontario native Andy Fantuz joins
the crew from Saskatchewan and after a season-ending
injury to Martell Mallet, the ‘Tabbies bring back highpriced Avon Coburne. The club also hired George Cortez,
who worked with Burris in Calgary, as its head coach.
While this team has tried to make wholesale changes
in the past but was unsuccessful, I think these will be
enough to land them in the playoffs. Prediction: number
two in the east.
• Toronto also saw big changes. With the city hosting
Grey Cup 100, the team wants to ensure it will be there.
A key acquisition of Eskimo quarterback Ricky Ray
will at least give them a shot. That and a new head coach
with an offensive mind will allow Ray to get the job done.
Pairing him up with a tough runningback in Cory Boyd
could help them get to the top in the East. Prediction:
Like Winnipeg the previous year, this team goes from
worst to first.
To the west, here is how last season looked: B.C. (22
pts), Edmonton (22 pts), Calgary (22 pts) and Saskatchewan (10 pts).
• Lions’ fans may remember the horrendous start to
the year, but that is all in the rearview mirror as quarterback Travis Lulay lit it up and the team marched from
the bottom to the top, winning the Grey Cup. With a new
head coach and lots of change in the west, the team could
see many more wins than losses. Prediction: first again.
• Edmonton probably created the most news this
offseason, dealing its all-star quarterback for a younger
and unproven guy. General manager Eric Tillman has
done that before and has been successful but I can’t see
it creating an immediate impact. Give this club a couple
of years before you see them where they were in 2011.
Prediction: fourth in west.
• Like its provincial rival, the Stampeders moved its
pivot east and are going with youngster Drew Tate behind centre. Like others in the west, the quarterback position is young but Calgary has some offensive weapons
to make some noise. They are also known to self destruct
under pressure. Doubt they catch B.C. but they will see
postseason. Prediction: third in west.
• After a year to forget, changes were plentiful in
Riderville. A new coaching staff, some new faces in training camp and upgrades to their stadium, the green and
white are hoping to see their fortunes change from last
year. All indications point to that, but until the season
starts, it’s tough to tell. I like their coach’s no-nonsense
approach and the ability to relate to the players. If
Darian Durant ignores last year and gets back on track,
the team should be back in the postseason. Prediction:
second in west.
A shot at
hockey across
the globe
■ Daniel Bushman
The Watrous Manitou
June 18, 2012
Out of college and
not ready to hang up her
skates quite yet, Watrous’
Jocelyn Kratchmer headed
overseas last fall to suit up
on the frozen pond. Kratchmer’s college career took
place south of the border
in the United States and
once that came to an end,
the forward wanted to give
Europe a try.
“I found out I got onto
the team in late September
and then not even a month
later I was flying out to
Prague; it all happened
very quickly.”
After getting off the
plane in Prague, Czech Republic just after Thanksgiving, Kratchmer stayed
there until Christmas
before flying home for a
break. She returned for the
second half of the hockey
season.
Kratchmer’s team Slavia Praha, which selected
her to suit up for them, was
placed in a pair of leagues
- the European Women’s
Champions Cup (EWCC)
and the Czech League. The
EWCC was a tournamentstyle league where clubs
faced eliminations in each
event. Teams from across
Europe would play three
weekends throughout the
season.
The first round in which
Slavia took part was Spisska Nova Ves, Slovakia.
Kratchmer said the team
finished second but they
needed to come in first to
move on to the next round.
In the Czech league the
team fared much better.
“We finished first and won
the league and the championship, which was the
team’s sixth Czech League
championship in a row.”
Despite the success
there were also some hurdles to get over. Kratchmer
said the style of hockey
is quite different “mainly
because there seems to
be very little structure in
their style of play, at least
in girls’ hockey.”
Kratchmer said it felt
like pond hockey back
home at times with no
powerplay or penalty kill
Gearing up for hockey
Jocelyn Kratchmer played hockey in the Czech Republic last season.
Kratchmer suited up for Slavia Praha and said the style of hockey
is different than in Canada. The forward also used a teammate as a

systems in place.
“My coach did not
speak any English so I had

of the goalies on the team
- translating everything
for me, so adjusting to that

ice surface is also much
bigger and the players are
more aggressive. If you
had your head down you
would get hit.”
Getting to and from the
rink was also a challenge.

minutes north of Prague.”
Kratchmer said they
carpooled every day for
practices and games but to
get to the carpool location,
she and her roommate had
to travel by tram and then
subway for about half an
hour.
“The rink is attached
to a hotel that we sometimes stayed in when we
had practice Friday nights
with games on Saturday
and Sunday. Our weight
lifting gym was also at this
rink. It was nice, though,
because we had our very
own dressing room so I was
able to leave my equipment

Roaring around the track
June 18, 2012
After kicking off the season last month, racers were
back in action at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway north
of Saskatoon. Two local drivers hit the asphalt looking
to climb the standings for 2012.
In the street stock qualifier June 2, Darryl Potts was
slated in the ninth spot and maneuvered his way into
fourth. That got him 17 points. In the street stock heat,
he was in spot six and edged past one car when it was
all said and done. His fifth-place finish was good for 17
points.
In the feature, Potts started in the fifth position but
fell back to ninth when he crossed the finish line. For
his efforts driving the number 36 car, Potts garnered 24
points. The Watrous driver was up against 13 others.
After those points were added to his season, Potts
sits seventh out of 16 in the street stock division. He has
182 points, 52 behind the leader.
In the mini stock division June 2, Young’s Kevin
Dyck hit the pavement against 15 other racers.
In the mini stock heat, Dyck started in 10th and got
his number 10 car all the way up to first. That was good
for 20 points.
Like the heat, Dyck had his work cut out for him in
the qualifier, starting in the 15th position. However, he
was able to climb to first and collected 20 points.
In the feature race, Dyck started 10th. Weaving his
way around the track, he was able to cross the finish
line third and took home 36 points.
With some races under his belt, Dyck finds himself
second of 16 drivers in the mini stock division. Dyck is
just a single point behind the leader.
According to the schedule, Potts was to have been
back in action June 8 and will suit up again June 23.
Dyck, meanwhile, hit the track June 16 and will again
June 23.

there and didn’t have to
travel back and forth with
it.”
Despite some of those
challenges,
Kratchmer
said overall it was an awesome experience to live in
the Czech Republic.
“I was completely immersed in the Czech culture so I learned a lot, but
there were quite a bit of
adjustments, the main one
being the language barrier. Not many people there
spoke English, including
my teammates, so it did
get lonely at times. But
Prague is a beautiful city
and I loved exploring it every day. We also did a lot of
traveling throughout the
country for hockey so it
was cool to see the sights
of Czech Republic.”
Kratchmer said the
language barrier was also
tough when it came to simple things like going to the
grocery store or trying to
order food.
“Most of the time I
didn’t know what I was go-
ing to get,” said Kratchmer
who, by the end of March,
was able to learn enough
to get by.
She also touched on the
food, saying it was a bit
different. Soup is a staple,
eaten before every meal. A
lot of pork, potatoes and
dumplings are also consumed and beer at a restaurant was cheaper then
ordering water.
The hockey player also
took on two part-time jobs
- one teaching skating to
kids every week and the
other as a preschool teacher’s aide in a small village
outside Prague.
“It was neat to see how
different they run their
schools. Both the schools
I taught at were CzechEnglish schools so it was
fun to talk and play with
the kids.”
One of the highlights
from her experience playing hockey was capturing
the championship.
“The girls on my team
were also pretty cool! Although not all of them
spoke English and those
that did, did not do very
well, but they really wanted to learn so they always
talked to me and tried to
translate things for me.”
Kratchmer also had a
lot of opportunities to do
some travelling and touring around Europe and
had a pair of friends, Justine Bennett and Kelsey
Desmarais, join her after
hockey ended in midMarch. The three travelled
the country for about three
weeks and then Kratchmer was back in Canada
by Easter.
With her feet back on
North
American
soil,
the former student who
attended Holy Cross in
Worcester, Mass., said she
decided not to return to
Slavia Praha next year but
instead will be going to
Austria.
“While I was over in
Prague, I met some people
from other teams and tried
out for a few teams in different countries so for the
next season I will be heading to Salzburg, Austria
with my old teammate
from Holy Cross. I am looking forward to it!”
Taking in
the sites
Not only did Watrous’ Jocelyn
Kratchmer get a chance to suit
up for a hockey team in Prague,
Czech Republic but she also got
an opportunity to check out
the surroundings. Kratchmer
(pictured) is in Old Town Square
with the Church of our Lady in
the background. The
hockey player has since
returned to Canada.
Revving up the competition in June
June 18, 2012
A local contingent of riders were looking to build
off a rather successful May as they competed in a few
races in June. After tearing up a muddy track in Weyburn at the end of May, Watrous’ Bryan Axman, Brett
Papic, Daniel Vickaryous and Mark Warken went south
to Swift Current June 3.
In the beginner class, Axman wearing number 24
came in fourth in moto one and ninth in moto two. In
the final, Axman placed sixth out of 32 competitors.
Vickaryous also entered the beginner class and was
wearing number 283. He took eighth in moto one, 18th in
moto two and in the finals, Vickaryous placed 12th.
In the junior MX-1 class, Papic was looking to get on
the podium. Wearing number 777, the rider was third in
moto one, second in moto two and then placed second in
the finals.
Warken also competed in the same class. He sported
number 62 and came in sixth in moto one, 12th in moto
two and crossed the finish line in ninth.
The pair were in a field of 15 riders.
Warken entered the plus 25 category and went up
against seven others. Warken placed fifth in moto two
and was sixth in the finals.
In the youth class, Axman, Papic and Vickaryous
were part of 34 riders. In that event, Papic was fourth
in moto one and placed 12th in the finals. Axman was
28th in moto one, 18th in moto two and 23rd in the finals.
Vickaryous placed 23rd in moto one, 21st in moto two
and was 25th in the finals.
The riders then went west to Saskatoon for the next
series race at Otopasso trails south of Saskatoon. The
June 10 event saw Axman in the beginner division. He
was seventh in moto one and that was how he finished
in the finals. There were 29 riders in that division.
In the junior MX-1 class, Papic placed second in moto
one and that was how he finished overall. Warken was
also in that group and came in 10th.
Craig Martin from Viscount raced in the junior MX-1
class and wearing number 135, placed 13th out of 21 riders.
Papic entered the youth division against 26 other
competitors and came in 22nd.
A two-day race was held in Moose Jaw June 16 to 17
and Kindersley will be the next stop, that coming July
8.

Remembering
Ike Cruise
■ submitted by Larry Cruise
Stalwart
May 25, as we drove
home from Regina, the
sun was setting. A beautiful array of spectacular
colour and brilliance
spreading across the
horizon and up into the
clouds and beyond to the
heavens. For quite sometime this ball of fire slowly drifted down, to linger
for awhile on the edge of
the world, then silently
slip away. Hawaii sunsets
were never more beautiful than this one.
Over the last few years
a picture has formed
in my mind, that of Ike
Cruise sitting in one of
two chairs, placed strategically so they were
framed by the corner of
his house and a large tree
in his yard. Many a summer night the sunsets
would squeeze between
the surrounding trees,
down his driveway, and
bask the two chairs (one
empty) in all its brilliance. I often wondered
where Ike’s thoughts
might be during that
time, perhaps last night
was to be his last sunset.
If it was, it was like most
of his work. Well done!
For 50 years, Ike has
been our neighbour. He
had become more than
that, he was part of the
architecture. We would
see him planting his potatoes, rototilling his
sunflowers, watering his
tomatoes, filling his bird
feeders, fixing his windmills, talking to neighbours, and then he would
go to work in his shop.
I believe one of the
last things he made was a
wooden top for an urn we
had purchased to place
the ashes of my motherin-law, the late 100-yearold Doris Tripps in. When
I asked him if he could do
this, he replied, “I can’t
do much else but hold this
chair down, but I think
I can do that.” Two days
later he had it finished
and it looked beautiful.
Ike always had humour
in his voice and added
another dimension to
the conversation. I introduced Ike to a health food
drink I was taking and
as we toasted each other
to a long life, I quipped
to him that he would live
to 110. Ike’s reply was in
his rolling Irish, that was
a trademark, “Oh, I hope
not.”
On returning from a
track meet in Brockville,
Ont. last year, I had a
video of Val Smylie, the
wife of a former doctor in
Imperial. She would say
to Ike on the video, “How
are you, Ike?” to which
Ike promptly answered,
“I am fine, Val, but boy
you sure have some good
wrinkles.” We then reminisced on the work he
had done for them on their
house some 60 years ago.
He also told how Frank
Hart had approached
him to build a new house.
Frank had a good crop of
flax that year and as Ike
needed more lumber for
the house Frank would
sell another load of flax.
Another story he told
was of how Sam Gust of
Davidson asked him to remove the hardwood floor
from the kitchen and install it in the living room,
then install a new floor in
the kitchen. Because the
flooring went under the
walls, Ike would fashion
himself a curved saw,
A new generation of learners
Imperial school kindergarten graduation was held June 7. Graduating

Rylan Freeman and Preston Van Damme. Mrs. Kelly introduced each
student as they came in the room then she showed a slideshow of
then by hand he would
cut out all the flooring
around the walls with this
home-made, hand-driven
saw. Those were the days
when work meant sweat
and sometimes tears.
Only two weeks ago
I would visit Ike in his
hospital bed and I told
him of a track meet I was
going to participate in.
He said, “I wish you luck
and would you like me to
give you my blessing?” I
said, “Please do.” On returning from the masters
provincial meet with six
gold medals to show Ike,
he said to me, “Did my
blessing help? Congratulations Joe.” It was to be
Subscription due??
the last time I would see
him.
Ike’s name was always
coming up in our conversations: Ike’s bedroom
light is on - he must be going to bed. Ike’s shop light
is on - he must be working
late. Ike’s truck is going
into town. The deer are
running from our apple
tree into Ike’s yard. Ike’s
putting in his garden. Ike
has company. Ike must be
away, his truck is gone.
We will miss you dearly
Ike. It is funny how time
slips by and the many
things we meant to say
were never said, like good
bye and as the song says,
so long it’s been good to
know you.

secretary for the association. Several issues including
health, affordable housing, rural health issues for aging
seniors, home care and long-term care were discussed.
Kevin Fenwick, Saskatchewan Ombudsman was the
guest speaker. Betsy reported it was an interesting and
educational convention. Issues related to the health and
well being of seniors are the main priority for this group
whose next convention will be in June 2013 in Saskatoon.
The Imperial Community Centre was the venue for a

Hello village people. Other than impending rain and thundershowers, nothing much to report. Birdsong at 5 a.m. is
quite lovely. I can only guess plans are
in progress for Canada Day celebrations
so look out for announcements. Pancake
breakfasts are also being advertised for
certain Sundays, again, read the signs
and enjoy a community breakfast.
I could ramble on about the tin cans
in the cardboard recycling bin and share
worries that misuse of the bins could result in us losing the bins and having to put
out all of our garbage for pick up. Several
Asian countries are scrambling for scrap
metal as it is so expensive . . . so it makes
sense to recycle as much as possible and a
small way to help the process is to put the
right stuff into the right bins. Act locally
and think globally.
Communities in Bloom volunteers
have been very busy working on the barrel planters, regional park and flower beds
around the village.
I hear the Three of Hearts performed
in the opening ceremonies of the new
lodge June 14. I hope many of you were
there to hear the concert and tour the new
facility.
Since I started the column Pat Hutton thankfully sent news of the holiday
that she and Gary enjoyed and want to
share with you: “After a family wedding
in Edmonton, we, Gary and Pat, travelled
by camper van to see our daughter who
is now working on Vancouver Island; a
place we had not seen in 24 years. There
was mostly sunshine at stops along the
way and no rain the whole week on the
island! A former neighbour, Marlene
Armson, mom to our village foreman
Bryan Marciszyn celebrated her birthday and Gary’s and our anniversary at
her new home in Penticton. We enjoyed
great walks along both lakes there. It
was our first time there in 40 years when
our baby was a newborn! From there we
went along Hwy. 3 through some major
switchbacks, with snow beside us, not
on the roads. We crossed the ferry and
camped two nights before staying at the
house where our girl is housesitting near
Qualicum Beach. The flowers and trees
are well ahead of what we see here and
we did ocean walks with the dog she
looked after. Poor old Cooper had a seiz-
12064DX00
ure before we came and his vet said there
was nothing more he could do for him.
He passed away the very night after we
left our girl’s place. He had a happy week,
lots of attention, maybe too many strenuous walks. The three ‘retired’ horses had
a good week with us too; a great place
to stay. We met Deborah Grey, former
Reform party founder and Lew Larson,
pool friends from here, at their church.
Then after a major tire blow-out on the
‘slow road to China’ going to Nanaimo,
we crossed through Vancouver to avoid
lots of traffic on the Monday of the long
weekend. The traffic coming into the city
from the east was bumper-to-bumper
from about Abbotsford for 30 kilometres
but not on our side of the highway! We
camped at Merritt, Revelstoke, Halcyon,
our favourite hot springs, Fairmont Hot
Springs, Banff and Canmore. June 1,
north of Radium, Gary had the bravery
to step out of the van and get pictures of
three bears along the road. We stayed one
night in my niece’s yard, who normally
lives in Siberia, but as a family are renting a place in Alberta. It was so much fun.
After a month we arrived at our place at
the beach!”
Many thanks and roses to those village people who have taken the time to
contact me about this column and who
are planning to make contributions.
Cheers, Sue.

Doors open on Watrous District Health Complex
June 18, 2012
After years of lobbying, fundraising and determination, a dream was realized June 14 in Watrous as the ribbon was cut and the Watrous District Health Complex
officially opened.
Murray Westby who has been with the local health
foundation for many years said, “It has been a long time
coming and we have had our ups and downs . . . this is
certainly very gratifying to have it actually become a reality. A lot of people have worked very hard on this, not
just myself.”
Watrous mayor Ed Collins agreed that “it has been
worth the wait. It is just a great day for all of Watrous
and for continued health care in our community and for
the residents.”
The new complex also became the first of 13 to be
finished after the province announced in 2009 funding
would be provided.
Director of capital planning and project management
for the Saskatoon Health Region Andrew Wagner said,
“We were able to deliver this project faster than anticipated and for less money than the original budget. I think
that just goes to show for the leadership locally here it
has just been a very successful project.”
Gary Loewen, project manager for the health region,
said overseeing this project and having it completed was
rewarding. “We developed a plan, we stuck to the plan,
we did the project on schedule and on budget. That is always a goal every time we take on a project and I think
we succeeded very well on this one.”
Associate with LM Architectural Group Andrew
Brimble said building a project is only as good as the
people who are working on it. He said the town itself
and the people at the hospital speak volumes to the end
product.
“Truthfully, this is a beautiful facility and for the residents that are in here, it is going to feel very much like
home.”
Despite the wet weather outdoors, it was warm and
the mood happy indoors as residents from the commu-

Complex June 14. Doing the honours from left to right were vice
president of finance and corporate services for the Saskatoon

nity and surrounding area gathered in Sunrise - one of
the ‘houses’ where residents will be living - for the festivities. Current residents of Manitou Lodge joined those
gathered at the new facility to take in the festivities.
Led by the group the Three of Hearts, guests enjoyed
some entertainment from 10:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. when
long-time Watrous resident Vickie Merrifield played O
Canada. After the anthem was sung, site manager Cathy
Spencer led the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Spencer said after three years of getting ready for a
facility like the one built, seeing it finished is great.
“This is so exciting. It has been like an ant hill around
here for the last few days but a huge, exciting day for the
community, the residents and the staff.”
Spencer said the support from the community has been
fantastic and has always been there since the beginning.

GRAND OPENING
Newly-appointed Health Minister Dustin Duncan
joined other dignitaries on stage and remarked that June
14 was a significant day for the residents of the community and surrounding area. He also said it is a milestone
for the province as the facility will provide a high quality
of living for residents.
“It is exciting to see everybody celebrating today’s
opening. I know it takes a lot of work between not just
the province and the health region but obviously the
community and the fundraising foundation to raise the
dollars that go into it. It is a great day to celebrate with
the community and the new residents . . . considering
that Watrous is the first of the new 13 that are opened, it
is just a great testament to the people here.”
Duncan said to have something of this magnitude
come to fruition is very good to see.
“We strive with the health regions to be able to provide
quality health care services to rural residents and this is
just another step in ensuring that rural residents know
that we want to be able to provide quality health care in
rural Saskatchewan as well as urban Saskatchewan.”
After Minister Duncan spoke, Saskatoon Health Region board member Ross Huckle talked about being fortunate to help the older generation have a home to stay
in. Huckle said rural residents are a priority for the re-

gion and said the facility is a great example of a partnership between numerous groups.
Watrous mayor Ed Collins also touched on the importance of a facility like the health complex in Watrous.
“When you come in under budget and on time, it can’t
be any better than that.” Collins said the support from
the town and surrounding area was tremendous and
“even from further away than that we have seen . . . it’s
gratifying, very gratifying.”
Reeve for the Rural Municipality of Morris Gord Dengler spoke on behalf of all the communities and RMs
that have lent their support to the new complex. Dengler
remarked that it will be utilized by local and surrounding residents and it is a place that “all of us will be proud
of for the future.”
After spending years lobbying and trying to get a new
facility in Watrous, Westby spoke on how things like
this can take time and pa-
tience.
Westby was very grateful to the province, the ministry
of health including former health minister Don McMorris, and the Saskatoon Health Region including former
employee Kelvin Fisher for recognizing that the community needed a facility.
According to Westby, around $3.3 million was used
from the local foundation to help pay for the project as
well. He said the foundation has done other things in the
community in terms of health care but “this has been
our major focus since the need has been identified.
“The fact that we had the surrounding villages and
municipalities come together . . . it just points out the
fact that in this day and age, communities have to get together and work together and they can accomplish things
if there is a common need all for the greater good.”
After Westby, vice-president of finance and corporate
services for the health region Nilesh Kavia spoke about

CONGRATULATIONS,

on the GRAND OPENING
of the Watrous District Health Complex.
the benefit of the health complex.
“For the community, it is a facility designed for their
comfort and with it being designed sustainably, it is a facility that allows us to make sure we are caring for patients and residents in a way right from the quality of
the air, the type of chemicals that may be used to clean
the facility. It is very conscientious in that sense.”
Kavia added it was designed to have lower operating
costs and is the first facility of its kind in the health region and the first of the 13 in the province that are to be
completed in various communities.
After Kavia spoke, dignitaries gathered on stage
while a pair of current residents of Manitou Lodge - Julia Galvin and David Broadfoot - held the ribbon.
Spencer commenced a countdown and the red ribbon
was cut to officially open the complex.
MLA for the area Greg Brkich then said a few words
regarding the facility. Brkich said having it open for the
residents means a lot.
“Since I was in this constituency since 2003, this was
one of the major projects . . . health care has always been
I
a priority and to see something like this, these are the
times you are glad to be an MLA. It just makes the job
that much more special. Even though I played a small
part of it, the biggest part was the community and the
fundraising.”
Brkich said he tried his best to keep it at the forefront
in government and appreciated the support of the community who had funding in place as they eagerly waited
for an announcement.
The MLA also honoured Westby during the ceremony.
The former mayor and committee member from various
organizations was given the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
medal. The medal not only honours the Queen for her
service to the country but serves to honour significant
contributions and achievements by Canadians.
After the ceremony, cake was served to those in attendance and tours started at noon and ran until 7:30 p.m.
A cleaning was then done over the weekend at the
health complex and today (June 18) residents will begin
moving into their new place.
The Watrous District Health Complex was also recognized for its green initiatives. The Green Globes
building
performance
assessment awarded the
Watrous Health Services
Redevelopment with three
globes, which Wagner said
were for environmental
sustainability.
“What it means is we
are reducing our operating costs into the future
and we are also providing
more sustainable materials
in the building, better environment for our patients
for the air that they breathe
and just a better hospital
environment for the care
that the staff are going to
be in.”
Wagner said it is unique
to have something like this
in a rural setting. “This is
Going green
Not only was the new Watrous District Health Complex completed under budget and on time but also it was recognized for its environmental sustainability. The Green Globes building performance
assessment awarded the Watrous Health Services Redevelopment
with three globes.
exciting because we are investing into our rural communities as well.”
Brimble said the green initiative for which the facility
received three globes meant they had to work with the
environment, energy, the types of finishes used in the
building, the way the building was constructed and the
way waste is handled.
“What they were able to do here is bring all of those
things into one envelope.”
Brimble said as much as a person can call it an
achievement, it is also a stewardship in taking the next
step to be sustainable.
Here are some extras regarding the new facility:
• The complex incorporates the hospital and long-term
care home addition; the addition will be called Manitou
Lodge, named after the former facility.
• The cost of the facility and expansion of the existing
Watrous Hospital building was $14.4 million.
• The government’s portion of funding was $11.2
million; the foundation and municipalities had to pay
$2.8 million for construction and $400,000 for fixtures,

Region G
seniors meeting
Director Lylie Herman
welcomed everyone to the
Region G meeting held
in Nokomis May 23 and
called the meeting to order. Twenty-nine seniors
attended the meeting from
Prince Albert, Nokomis,
Allan, Davidson, Kelliher,
Imperial, Lestock. Quinton, Lanigan, and Kenaston.
President Len Fallows
from SSAI spoke about the
briefs being presented to
the government. We are
presenting them in conjunction with our umbrella organization, Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism.
This will give us more influence as SSM has 120,000
members and SSAI has
8,000 members. The first
brief will ask for a rebate
for all senior clubs on utility charges. The second
brief will cover resolutions chosen at the last convention by the delegates as
the most important. Len
discussed senior pensions
and the Saskatchewan
Income Plan. He also explained the Municipal Act
gives all municipalities
the right to excuse senior
clubs from paying taxes.
In Saskatchewan there are
167,000 seniors. Of those
over 55, 67 per cent vote in
elections. Twenty-two per
cent of younger people between the ages of 20 to 34
vote. Len also discussed
pensions and their sustainability. He also mentioned
the government’s plan to
raise the eligibility of sen-
iors to collect pensions to
age 67. Our guest speaker
at the 2012 convention will
be Kevin Fenwick, Ombudsman for Saskatchewan. The grant program
was discussed. Only one
grant will be available in
2013. It has been suggested
the form for applications
be shortened and the time
between acceptance of an
application and payout of
the grant be shortened. The
grant is called a Community Based Projects Grant. It
will not pay for cosmetics
such as painting. It should
be used for activity and recreation programs for seniors. They will also pay for
repairs to clubs. It has been
suggested that clubs must
change to entice new members. One suggestion is to
have activities in the evenings sometimes instead of
only in the afternoon.
Colette Brockman from
Quinton made a motion
that Lylie Herman from
Nokomis remain as director for Region G, seconded
by Lucille Dorush from
Kelliher. MaryAnn Santher
from Kenaston made a motion that Betsy Redstone
from Imperial stay on as
coordinator for District 19,
seconded by Elaine Sheriff
from Allan.
Boundary changes will
be discussed at the next SSAI
board meeting. Southey has
been moved to Region J
from Region G. Hanley will
be approached to see if they
will agree to move to Region
G from Region E.

High marks earn local
student large scholarship
■ Daniel Bushman
The Watrous Manitou
June 18, 2012
Hard work and determination has paid off
for a soon-to-be graduate
of Winston High School.
Kara Fidelack, who officially wraps up her Gr. 12
year later this month, has
been awarded a $20,000
scholarship from the University of Regina. Not only
did Fidelack receive the U
of R’s Circle of Scholars
Scholarship, but she also
garnered numerous accolades at Winston High
School’s awards night
June 7.
The student who has a
96.6 per cent overall average through three terms,
was the only Gr. 12 to receive honours with distinction in her school; she had
the highest overall average, and the highest average in math, ELA/history,
French and science.
The graduate also took
home an additional two
scholarships: one from
the Kinette Club of Watrous and the other from
the Kinsmen Club of Watrous.
Winston High principal
Phil Gleim said the school
and staff are very proud of
Fidelack’s achievements.
“Kara is an excellent
student who is very dedicated to her studies. She is
a deserving candidate. As
teachers, we are pleased
that one of our students
has been recognized for
SUMMER
SAVINGS
academic
excellence,
something that we consistently strive for at Winston
High.”
As for the Circle of
Scholars Scholarship, Fidelack is part of a small
group that was chosen
from across the country.
Ten people - one from each
region - were awarded a
scholarship: Saskatoon; Regina; Moose Jaw; southeast
Saskatchewan;
western
Saskatchewan; northeast
Saskatchewan; northern
Saskatchewan;
eastern
Canada; western Canada
and the territories.
The daughter of Rodney
and Patti was selected out
of senate districts six and
seven, which represents
the northeast division.
That encompasses places
like Melfort, Wynyard, Davidson, Yorkton, Hudson
Bay and Melville.
The scholarships are
awarded to students applying for fall admission
directly from high school
who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents
or protected persons and
have achieved a minimum
admission average of 90
per cent. They also had to
apply to a direct-entry undergraduate degree pro-
gram.
The award is given to the
students with the highest
admission average based
on grade information submitted by the priority application deadline.
Fidelack said any students applying to the U
of R were automatically
considered for this scholarship as long as they met
the criteria.
“You can imagine my
shock when I received an
e-mail on the 24th of April
telling me I had won it!
When I first read the e-mail,
I was shocked. I literally
had to re-read it to make
sure it wasn’t $2,000!”
Fidelack said what surprised her most was that
she was not expecting that
type of scholarship.
“I didn’t even know it
existed until then.”
While the Watrous resident said it is a huge relief
and honour to get such
an awesome scholarship
- which will pay her four
years of tuition - “If I’m being honest, it is also a little
stressful that I have to keep
a minimum 80 per cent average in university.”
In order for the $5,000
to be continually put on
Fidelack’s student account
over the next four years,
she needs to maintain that
average in her university
classes.
Fidelack also finds time
in her schedule to work
part-time at Subway in
town and volunteer once a
day at Watrous Elementary
School during her spares.
In addition to that, she
helps tutor a Gr. 7 student
in math once a week.
Her volunteer experience is in line with her future career path as she is
enrolled in the elementary
education program, consisting of pre-kindergarten to Gr. 5.
“I am hoping to become
a Gr. 1 teacher after I get
my degree.”

The canal between the Zelma and Dellwood Reservoirs will be treated for the same
reason on May 16, May 30, June 13, June 27, July 11, July 25, August 9, August 22
and September 6, 2012.
The chemical Magnacide “H” with its active ingredient “Acrolein”, will be noticeable
in the water by its offensive odour.
The canal flow rate may be lowered during treatment so that less chemical will be
required. The chemical will remain active in the canal for approximately 24 hours
after each treatment, and will diminish to non-detectable levels prior to treated
water entering the reservoirs. Area residents are warned that chemically treated
water is not to be used for drinking during this 24-hour period. Treated water may
also be harmful to the skin, causing irritation to exposed areas.
Dosages will be maintained at a level where the water can safely be used for
irrigation with no damage to field crops.
People are reminded that swimming in the canal at any time is
STRICTLY PROHIBITED; swimming in treated water may cause skin irritation.

Magnacide “H” can kill fish by suffocation, but it does not accumulate in fish flesh.
Fishing in the canal is not permitted.
This water treatment ensures irrigation intakes are free from clogging and adequate
flows are maintained in this multi-use system.
Since no other feasible alternative exists to control the growth of weeds in canals,
they are best controlled with this short-lived, widely-used, registered chemical.

GIBNEY,
Marleane Marion
Marleane
Gibney,
aged 75 years, passed away
at Central Parkland Lodge,
Lanigan on Tuesday, June 5,
2012 after a lengthy illness.
Marleane was born in
Salvador, Sask. on December 8, 1936 to Val and Frances Young. She received her
primary schooling in Salvador until 1955 when she went
into training at St. Paul’s
Hospital School of Nursing
in Saskatoon, graduating
in 1958. After graduation,
Marleane, along with her
friend Joan Schroeder (McLeod), travelled to Watrous to
begin their nursing careers. Here she met John who would
eventually become her spouse. She very much enjoyed
her career at Watrous Union Hospital which spanned a 30
year period. Her coworkers described Marleane as a caring and compassionate nurse. Marleane married John Gibney on January 7, 1960 and raised a family of three. She
loved spending time with her family and close friends and
in particular her grandson Keiran. Mom enjoyed sewing,
especially making things for children, crocheting, needlework and baking. She also took great pleasure in gardening and had a huge garden every summer. Her greatest joy
was her family and she was ours. We love you Mom, you
will be missed. “Nothing is more beautiful than the love
that has weathered the storms of life.”
She leaves to mourn her husband of 52 years, John
Gibney; sons Scott and Sean; daughter Sandra (Warren);
grandson Keiran; sisters Marcella and Elaine and brother Ervin (Yvette).
Memorial service was held at Watrous United Church
on June 13 conducted by Rev. Deborah Smith.
Honourary pallbearers were all who knew and loved
her. Barb McDonald and Joan Schroeder were register
attendants. Eulogy was given by Karen Gatzke. Organist
was Shelley Engele with Murray Westby as soloist.
Interment held at Drake Cemetery preceded the service.

Roberta Todd, aged 88
years, passed peacefully
into the Lord’s hands at
Lanigan Hospital on June
6, 2012.
Roberta was born September 7, 1923 to Robert
and Mabel Broadfoot in
Watrous, Sask. After finishing high school, Roberta
attended Normal School in
Saskatoon. She began her
teaching career in 1944 and
taught in many small towns
in Saskatchewan. In one of these small towns, “Tate”, she
met the love of her life, Allan Todd. They were married on
August 15, 1953 and shared 59 wonderful years together. In
1969 they adopted a beautiful little boy named Dave. Their
daughter Karen was soon to follow in December of 1970.
Roberta was always an active part in any community. She
was involved in the Eastern Star for 60 years. She taught in
the Mission Band with Mrs. Olsen in Imperial. She loved
music and played the piano, organ and clarinet. Roberta
worked tirelessly for the Cancer Society for 40 plus years
and collected thousands of dollars. She also enjoyed getting together with her coffee lady friends every Wednesday to catch up on the latest news. Roberta loved picnics,
board games, puzzles and especially playing cards with her
grandsons. She also had a fondness for hot fudge sundaes
and took any opportunity to take you down to the Burger
Corral to indulge. Roberta loved and followed the Lord. She
enjoyed watching the Living Truth on Sundays with Allan.
Roberta will be loved and remembered by her husband
Allan; son Dave (Lori); daughter Karen (Rob); grandsons
Joshua and Daniel; sister Audrey Fisher and many inlaws, nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was predeceased by her mother and father, brother John Broadfoot and many aunts, uncles, in-laws and
cousins.

NUMBERS UP

to go back for any personal reasons or to bring people
back.”
Miller said the goal is to settle her into the community as she is not coming as a locum but as a permanent
doctor.
Another physician, Dr. Akhtar is a United Kingdom
trained physician and is slated to arrive in late June.
“Everything still looks like a go for him to join us
in late June. He, too, is a permanent; he has not been
hired as a locum and is planning to come out on a
permanent basis in late June.”
As it stands, emergency services continue to be
unavailable in Watrous; however, that issue was discussed at a meeting earlier this month.
Before reopening them, “We need to meet with these
physicians to better understand what their skills are
and what their desires are . . . we want to involve those
physicians in the decision. More than likely those
meetings to make that decision would happen in the
end of August or the beginning of September.”
Miller said Dr. Rysbergen is willing to provide some
sort of help, which “might be a combination of hospital emergency call as well as long-term care call.
“There is a tremendous opportunity with the new
integrated health care facility that has been built out
here to build a nice-sized practice for many physicians.
Even though we have these candidates coming, we are
always recruiting . . . We are feeling good about what
Watrous is going to look like in September and we are
hopeful to be able to have the discussion about reopening the emergency coverage and emergency services
because we have some good candidates; enough candidates to build what we would deem a sustainable
practice.”
