been farming for 52 years and this one has the best
crop. “Anyone I have talked to said that it is a tremendous crop.”
In his area, which includes Plunkett, Meacham
and Viscount, he said farmers are going strong and
lots of peas have come off. He also figured about 90
per cent of canola has been taken from the fields
too. Barley, wheat and flax are some of the other
crops that are being harvested.

One of the trademark scenes of the prairies
is taking place in full force after a bit of a delay.
Farmers have taken their combines out of the
shop and into the fields and have been busy harvesting this year’s crops. While the rain and cooler
temperatures did not help things out early on, it
appears that this year’s crops could be in great
shape in some rural municipalities.
Reeve for the RM of Usborne Don Bowman has
been running the combine and swather this year See back page : HARVEST
and said in his area
the harvest has “nicely
started now. Crops are
ripening fast.”
Although Bowman
figures harvest is about
two weeks behind, he
said the recent sunshine was “exactly what
we needed . . . The crops
have been in the ground
so long they are anxious
to grow.”
Most of those seeds
are canola and barley
and there are also peas,
wheat and flax in the
area. “It is an excellent
crop the way it’s running.”
Reeve for Viscount
Russ Deneiko echoed
the message and said it
is “one of the best years
they have ever had.” The satisfying sight of combines in the field indicate the culmination of anDeneiko said he has other growing season.

As technology moves forward
and the younger generation gets
older, more and more people are
finding themselves with some
type of cell phone. Regardless
of what they may have, the electronic devices have seemingly
become attached to the hip and
are as important as remembering to grab car keys from the
counter or locking your doors before leaving on a trip.
Texting and talking on cell
phones, whether it is during
breakfast, at the mall or behind
the wheel, seems to be a common occurrence in everyday life.
However, recent rumblings from
the provincial government, and
backed by the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, may force a
change in people’s habits.
An informal TWM survey provided to Winston High School’s
Gr. 11 and Gr. 12 students provided a look into what is happening
with today’s teens.
In the Gr. 12 classes, 23 girls
and 15 boys were asked to circle
the answer that best applied to
them. From those surveyed, all
23 girls own a cell phone and text
while 13 of the 15 boys own a cell
phone and 14 of them text.
In Gr. 11, eight of nine boys
own cell phones and all nine text,
while all seven girls own phones
and text.
The survey also asked how
many times on average they text
per day. In Gr. 12, the boys were
fairly split with two groups of
four saying 50 plus, or between 16
and 30 times. From the girls, 12
of the 23 students said they text
at least 100 times a day.
In the Gr. 11 class, three of the
nine boys text at least 50 times
a day while in the girls class it
was more spread out with three
groups of two texting between 16
and 30 times, at least 50 times, or
more than 100.
Although that is a small number of people polled compared
to the province’s population, it
demonstrates that texting and
using a cell phone is not unusual.
The rising prevalence of people
doing so while driving, however,
has led the province to look at
halting usage while behind the
wheel.

Thursday, Sept. 4, in downtown Saskatoon, 46 Superheroes went over the edge of the 22-storey Carlton Tower
rooftop in support of Saskatchewan kids with disabilities.
The Easter Seals Drop Zone is a fundraising event for
Easter Seals Saskatchewan programs: Camp Easter Seal,
Summer Fun and Adaptive Technology Services. The
funds raised help to purchase new equipment and build
new facilities at Camp Easter Seal; it also helps to expand
programming options for Summer Fun and to assist more
families with our Adaptive Technology Services.
Elaine Bleie, top fundraiser for the third year in a row,
has raised more than $28,000 for kids with disabilities in
Saskatchewan, “I believe in helping these kids. That’s my
drive. It’s for them.”
“It’s pretty great when you can help kids and cross
something off your ‘Bucket List’ at the same time,” said
first year participant Carrie-Ann Hagel.
“The event was a success thanks to the super heroic
support of participants, sponsors, and local media,” said
Wylma Pilling, Drop Zone Planner. “The sense of accomplishment and exhilaration was obvious on the faces of
the participants once they touched the ground after their
rappel,” added Pilling.
The top superhero fundraiser was Elaine Bleie who
raised a grand total of $9,335. In second place was Kara
Smith with a total of $3,566 and rounding out the top three
was Jason Vogt who raised $2,680.
Easter Seals programs are offered and operated by the
Saskatchewan Abilities Council.

Horizon School Division. Vincent Gaudet has been hired
on as the new secretary treasurer - chief financial officer
for the division and will officially take over Oct. 28.
Gaudet is replacing Phil Benson who held the position for many years.

of service is retiring. Since Benson began his career, the
Watrous resident worked for three school divisions: Long
Lake, Sask Central and Horizon School Division.
During that time, he has seen two division amalgamations and has worked with a trio of directors of
education: Chancey McMann, Ralph Eliasson and Marc

and Northern Affairs Canada and the Canada Revenue
Agency.
Director of Education Marc Danylchuk welcomed
Gaudet and his family. “His wealth of financial management, analytical and organizational experiences in education settings, coupled with his strong interpersonal
abilities will allow him to quickly become a valued member of our executive team.”
Gaudet holds a Bachelor of Administration degree
from the University of Regina and is a member in good
standing with the Saskatchewan Association of School
Business Officials.

Editorial and Opinion
Just Layzing Around
We have a very interesting
front-page story this week on
the use of cell phones, in particular the texting feature, while
driving. As you may have heard,
the provincial government is
introducing legislation this fall
to ban the use of hand-held cell
phones by drivers. That would
mean the person in control of
the vehicle would have several
options: pull over to the side of
the road to make or receive a
phone call or text; ask a passenger in the vehicle to assist
them by dialing, talking, texting
or reading; employ a hands-free
device to make and receive calls,
or consider the driver’s seat to
be tech-free while the vehicle is
in motion.
I am one hundred per cent behind the government on this one.
There are several reasons I feel so strongly about throwing my
support behind the proposed legislation.
First of all, I can speak from personal experience, as I am very
sure many of us can: it truly is more difficult to carry on a telephone conversation while driving than it is to speak to someone
else within the vehicle itself. There must be some type of psychological or physiological reason behind that, but I cannot say for
sure. All I know is that when I chat with someone in the car, I am
still very much ‘present’ in the moment. But when I talk on the cell
phone, part of my mind detaches to join the person with whom I’m
conversing. It’s as if, because they are not there for me to physically
see, my mind turns inward and finds memories of what they looked
like the last time I saw them, or what situation we found ourselves
in together, in order for me to feel that same connection. Yet, while
my brain is enjoying the memory of a visit with that individual,
it is certainly not fully engaged in operating the several-thousandpound, hurtling mass of steel that is under my supposed control.
Secondly, while I have not ever texted while driving (I admit to
being a two-handed, hunt and jab texter that is just learning the
finer points of T-9), I have dialed a phone while driving. Just the
effort it took to punch in 11 digits, in between glancing up at the
road, and back down at the phone, was more risk than I really cared
to take. So why didn’t I pull over to make that call? For absolutely
no good reason, so I can and will not even attempt to defend myself.
Had I looked up to find debris on the road, a nasty pothole, an animal, or heaven forbid, a person or vehicle in my way, I know there
would have been a terrible accident. So if it takes knowing there is
a law against my action, and thus I am forced by more than my own
lacksidasical conscience to pull over, I’m all for it.
And finally, while it may seem hard to imagine for those 20 years
and under (after all, that’s how long cell phones have been around,
believe it or not – SaskTel celebrated the anniversary this summer), there was a time when the vehicle was a place of sanctuary, a
chance to get away from the constant chatter, push and pull of daily

A “hodgepodge” of Seinfeld moments
Every now and then in
every writer’s life a block
happens. There is simply
nothing to write about yet
somehow the space must be
filled - editors like that.
It is not that I did not
have anything to write about
- I collected quite a bit of
subjects over the summer
but they just did not seem to
add up to an entire column,
so this week is going to be
a hodgepodge of stuff and
observations.
While I was searching for
a meaningful topic I came
across a website - Top 10
Things To Do When Procrastinating. You understand
that I was not procrastinating when I googled the site, it
just came up. But here is one
quote from that site: When
I die, I want to die like my
grandmother, who died peacefully in her sleep. Not screaming, like all the passengers in
her car. - author unknown
That just shows you how
desperate I was.
Then, when I went to print
some of the little tidbits out,
I discovered my printer had
run out of ink. What should
have been a five minute job
replacing the cartridges
turned out to be a week.
First, I had to find a store to
purchase the cartridges and
when that errand was accomplished I had to wrestle
them out of the packaging.
Actually, inserting them into
the appropriate slots was a
piece of cake. It is the prep
time that was time consuming. After stopping to think
take some day trips. I discovered that all communities
are the same with some different quirks along the way.
They are all struggling
to survive. Some are just
approaching the problem in
different ways depending
on their location. Some
may be tourist spots, others
may focus their attention
on attractions such as their
museum or a park. All are
developing their own niche
in a changing and global
world.

unique. Some have that neat

Letters to the editor
Dear Editor,
Wednesday, Aug. 26, I
thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I saw a
sign west of Russel Fisher’s
place on Hwy. 365 that read
‘No Boats in Swimming
Area’. That evening I went
home to get the camera to
show the poor road conditions and the sign. One of
the holes is about five inches deep and a 18.4”x34” tire
size large. On either side
of the hole are washout
holes to the extent you do
not know where to drive.
By Murray Treble’s place,
if you want to do laundry,
the road would serve the
purpose as it is nothing but
holes along that stretch.
The grader was on the
road when it was bone
hard Aug. 27 to drag close
the holes with dry gravel.
Three days later one could
find all the holes again as
the gravel was blown out.
Sept. 2, the grader was
again trying to close up the
holes with dry gravel and it
will have no better results.
The only time you maintain the road is shortly
after a rain is over, with the
surface beginning to dry. It
is a waste of fuel and time
to grade the road when it
is bone hard dry. One lady
said she will get fluorescent orange to mark every
hole in the road. At the
extent of the situation she
will need several cases to
mark all the holes on Hwy.
365.
I, myself, have a $1,400
bill due to Highways’ poor
winter maintenance.

How ta look at the news
by Gene Hauta
In St. Pete Beach, Fla., a woman is in
trouble after she threatened a man in a
grocery store during a dispute about a
shopping cart. The 58-year-old woman was
banned from the Sweetbay Supermarket
and charged with aggravated assault
after she pulled a pocket knife on a man
who was trying to take her shopping cart.
The woman explained that the knife was
small, bent and dull. “It wouldn’t even
open. I had a hand over the blade,” she
said. “I was going to get the handle and
smack him on the nose, like you do an
alligator.”
Zackary Johnson was arrested in Athens, Ga., after he pulled over a passing
police car to inquire whether he had any
warrants outstanding against him. The
policeman found out there were no warrants, but found that Johnson’s driver’s
licence was under suspension and he was
arrested.
Dayton Beach police solved a recent
case by using touch DNA technology. All
they had as evidence from a break-in at
the Ultimate Omelet House and More was
the rock used to smash the front window.
The prime suspect, Dean Dagostino, 43, an
employee of the restaurant, confidently
gave a DNA swab when he was questioned
by the police. The police matched DNA on
the rock to that of Dagostino, a man who
already had seven felony convictions and
12 misdemeanours for burglary.
Pizza Hut is apparently changing its
name to The Hut. “A spokesperson for The
Hut declined to comment when asked if
the change had anything to do with their
regular customer’s resemblance to Jabba

In Montreal, the Cinemas Guzzo theatre was ordered to pay a woman $10,000
for violating her family’s privacy. Employees searched the purses of the mother
and the daughter to see if they had video
equipment that could illegally record a
movie. Employees found no equipment
but did uncover the teenage daughter’s
birth control pills, which the mother did
not know about.
In Fort Lauderdale, a 54-year-old
woman has been sentenced to 14 months
of house arrest for leaving two grandchildren alone in a parked car while she went
to play the slots. She also received three
years’ probation. The two-year-old girl
and 14-year-old boy were left in the car
with the windows down last August. She
pleaded guilty to charges including felony
child abuse and misdemeanour contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
In Sydney, Australia, a man who had
been sniffing gasoline burst into flames
after a police officer tasered him as he
ran at officials carrying a container of
fuel. Ronald Mitchell, 36, was in critical
condition, after the officer threw him to
the ground and smothered the blaze with
his hands. Mitchell was charged with
assault to prevent arrest and possession
of a sniffing substance. Meanwhile, an 18year-old woman threw rocks at the officer
as he tried to help and she was charged
with assaulting an officer.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, an Islamic
court has sentenced a Muslim woman to
be flogged with a rattan cane for having a
beer in a nightclub. It is rare for a woman
in Malaysia to be sentenced to caning,
although it is common for men in various
crimes ranging from rape to bribery. Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno was sentenced
to six lashes and a fine of 5,000 ringgit
($1,400) for consuming alcohol. Consuming alcohol is a religious offense in Malaysia only for Muslims, who make up nearly
two-thirds of the population. Rattan canes
used in the punishment are made from
palm plants common in tropical parts of
Asia. They have been used for decades for
corporal punishments in countries such
as Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. The
caning sentence is generally carried out
by specially trained officials at prisons.
Anna Ryan, 42, of Blue Springs, Mo.,
was baffled for years why her normal 140
pounds sometimes ballooned to as much
as 260, despite her consistently rigorous
diet and exercise regimen. Finally, two
years ago tests performed at night by
Overland Park, Kan., physician Scott
Eveloff revealed a disorder. Ryan was a
sleepwalker whose routine included as
many as eight kitchen visits a night during which she gorged herself but of which
she had no memory the next morning.
Gidget the Chihuahua, whose Taco Bell
commercials made her a star, has died.
She was 15. The owner of Studio Animal
Services said Gidget suffered a massive
stroke at her trainer’s home in Santa
Clarita and had to be euthanized. Gidget
was the sassy mascot in Taco Bell commercials from 1997 to 2000. While other
dogs had bit parts, it was her bug-eyed,
big-eared face that is seen pronouncing,
in a dubbed male voice, “Yo quiero Taco
Bell,” Spanish for “I want Taco Bell.” The
ads made the Taco Bell mascot wildly
popular, although some criticism was
provoked because it was felt it perpetuated Mexican stereotypes. Gidget also had
a role in the movie Legally Blonde 2.
After squabbling at a county board
meeting in Lincoln, Neb., it was decided
by a 2 to 1 count to reimburse Shum
Darwin for his pants. The clothing had
gone missing at the jail after Darwin was
arrested. It was obvious that the city was
liable, but the argument was over the
worth of the pants . . . $12 or $10.
Dear Editor,
I am the former owner of The Little
Olive Health Market, and the sign looking
the way that it does at our former location
on Main Street has been bothering me a lot.
I am embarrassed about it for myself as a
business owner, for the artist who painted
it, and for the poor impression it leaves on
the main street of such a well-kept community. I do not want people in the community
to think I would do such a thing. Since the
owners would not let me take the sign, even
after I offered to provide them with a new
piece of wood to paint their own sign on,
I asked them to either take the sign down
or paint over it by the time we opened at
the new location Aug. 4, and they agreed.
However, our definitions of ‘painting over
the sign’ clearly differ. Perhaps if they see
this letter, they will understand how I feel
about the perception this is creating in the
community.

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Sports and Recreation
THE POINT
AFTER
I know that people are
going to be upset at me
right off the bat but I have
to say it . . . It feels like fall
and I am loving it.
Now, before you come
to the Watrous Manitou,
get upset and tell me that
we did not get summer
and it was cold, just hear
me out. Firstly, I know I
can speak for my wife Kim
and also the three at work
who would much rather be
at the beach getting some
rays in plus 30˚C weather
than have to deal with it
being less than 20˚C, but from a sports guy’s perspective,
this has to be one of the best times of the year, except
for at the end of the hockey season when the Flames
hoist the Stanley Cup! Now, I have your attention or at
least you’re shaking your head in disbelief because the
Flames and Stanley Cup were mentioned in the same
sentence. Hey, it could happen!
Okay, so why is it the best time of year if you are a
sports fan? Well, in the next month or two as the seasons
change a person can pretty much do or watch whatever
sport interests them. Starting with hometown athletics,
high school football and volleyball are rolling. People can
watch some good games right in their own backyards for football, almost literally for those living in the houses
south of the field.
There are also lots of registrations coming up or have
come up like bowling, judo, minor hockey and the list
goes on.
Or this weekend coming up, for example, you can
watch Tiger Woods lose yet again - who would not want
to see someone come out of the woodwork like, say, Canadian Mike Weir or Phil Mickelson and challenge him?
But, if golf is not it for you, there is more than enough
football to watch. The high school team is on the road
Friday but you can always head out and see them perform, especially against a tough team in Clavet.
The ‘Riders are at home against Edmonton and NFL
and college football are underway, although if you are
a Sooners fan along with my uncle, it looks as if their
chances of making it to the big show are done for this
year after getting upset.
Football not your forte? Well, baseball is still going,
although the Jays are pretty much done - who saw that
coming? That is probably why only 11,159 fans made it
out to Rogers Centre Sept. 9, making it the lowest ever
attended game at that facility.
Okay, I don’t blame you if watching the Jays puts
you to sleep. There are other options, even hockey! This
weekend the Calgary Flames are making a stop in Saskatoon to play the New York Islanders in an NHL preseason
matchup. Edmonton is also playing against the Isles at
CUC so hockey fans can get their fix before the season
starts.
And if it is a nice day out and you are an avid sports
fan you can pretty much do all of those things I listed
outside with the exception of ice hockey and indoor volleyball. But a person could always substitute those with
some fishing.
So after all that explaining, I know you still might be a
tad upset at me for saying goodbye to summer and hello
to fall even though the first official day of fall arrives
Sept. 22. But the reason for waving adios to summer is
not because of the temperatures outside, but rather the
sports that can be watched inside or out, enjoyed amongst
friends or played amongst brothers. Even if you do lose
more than you win!
That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the
point!
Finding a path
Wildcats’ runningback Kendall McArthur (#28) gets the
ball from quarterback Taylor McGregor (#7) and tries to
weave through oncoming tacklers in their home opener
Sept. 4 against Hanley.

Wildcats drop opener
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
While the opening plays
were positive for the home
team, the end product was
not exactly what the club
had planned. The Wildcats
kicked off their football
season Sept. 4 at home with
a loss against Hanley.
Watrous was looking to
make a statement early on
and did so after stopping
Hanley on the opening
drive. The Wildcats took
the ball on the Sabers’ 35yard line and after keeping it on the ground ran it
down to the 10-yard line.
After the Wildcats were
stopped from getting in
on first and second down,
Kendall McArthur took the
handoff on the one-yard
line but the defense stood
tall and forced a turnover
on downs at the one.
The Sabers then took
over but tossed an interception and David Baade
snagged the toss and took
it in for the score. The extra point attempt was no
good but Watrous led 6-0
with 7:24 left in the first
quarter.
Hanley marched the
ball after the kick but was
forced to boot it after the
drive stalled.
The Wildcats took the
ball from the three-yard
line and after a handoff,
Watrous
quarterback
Taylor McGregor had a
pair of runs to move the
chains. However, the team
was then stopped and with
under a minute left had to
punt.
Hanley then took control and bombed one out
to Chad Freeden for a big
gain. Linden Freeden then
made a short pass to end
the first with Watrous up
6-0.
The Wildcats then got
the ball back from an in-
complete pass but were
unable to make a drive
happen and Hanley got
the ball with 10 minutes
left. Watrous defence rose
to the occasion as Justin
McWillie came in with
a big tackle, sacking the
quarterback. The Sabers
then ran a reverse but the
ball came popping out, forcing a third down.
But on a quarterback
keep, Linden Freeden ran
it in for the score with 7:43
left in the first half. The
extra convert was no good
and the score was tied at
six.
The Wildcats then tried
to open things up after a
nice toss to Travis Frey
who took it for about a 40yard gain. But Watrous
could not finish and Hanley took the ball back only
to turn it over on downs
with 4:06 left.
The Wildcats then took
control and handed it off
to Solomon Redel for a
gain. Then with 3:17 to go
McGregor gave the ball to
McArthur and he had a 20yard romp off of a sweep to
score. The convert attempt
was no good and Watrous
was up 12-6.
After a stalled drive,
Watrous got the ball back
with little time. A penalty
against the Sabers gave
the home team the ball on
the 42-yard line. McGregor
then tossed to Jordan Miller who got to the Sabers’
38 with just eight seconds
left. In the last play of the
half, Watrous tried to go
deep but the pass was intercepted. Hanley also scored
on a punt single to round
out the first two quarters
but were behind 12-7.
After a run by Frey that
was negated by a penalty,
Watrous was forced to kick
and Hanley began to turn
the tables. The Sabers
marched the ball as Linden
Freeden shed a few tackles,
Chad Freeden had a quick
reception to get down to
the 10-yard line before Linden ran it in at 7:09. With
an added convert the Sabers led 15-12.
Hanley continued to
roll as Monty Zdunich was
wide open with 1:19 left
in the third for a 60-yard
touchdown. A blocked
convert meant the visitors
went up 21-12 after three
quarters of play.
In the fourth the Sabers
added to the score, getting
a couple more touchdowns
to take the game 43-12.
Other winners from
week one: Central Butte
beat Raymore 44-23, Clavet
defeated Loreburn 54-8 and
Caronport was victorious
over Southey 41-6.
Watrous
played
its
second home game of the
year against Loreburn
Sept. 11 and now go to face
last year’s champion Clavet
this Friday.
Making some room
Members from the offensive line take a stand and try to
move defenders out of the way as the Wildcats look to
punch in the ball.
Senior men’s golf
There were 25 golfers who took to the greens at Manitou Beach Golf Course Sept. 10 for the senior men’s
scramble.
The low score of 34 was recorded by Abe Fehr, Gerry
Kelly and Lyle Corrigan.
Closest to the pin on number eight went to John Beattie and Les Walker was closest to the pin on number
four.
Herb Bauml was closest to the 150 yard marker and
closest to the line went to Lyle Shantz.
The long putt was made by Ivan Sookeroff.
Ladies wind up
The weatherman provided a perfect evening
Wednesday, Sept. 2 for
48 lady golfers to take
part in a scramble with
first prize going to Alice
Doran, second to Dianne
Gross and our most honest golfer being Beth
Crawford.
A
delicious
meal
catered by The Diner was
enjoyed and the meeting followed. The executive for the 2010 season
is president - Ramona
Birnie, vice president Melanie Manson, secre-
tary - Lois Martell and
treasurer - Susan Jabs.
Play will continue
Tuesday morning and
Wednesday
evening
as long as the weather
permits. Call ahead to
register at the clubhouse.
Several ladies were
awarded a prize for
chip-ins and birdies
over the summer. The
winner of the 50/50
draw for the evening
was Freida Walker.
A good time was
had by all present.
THE WATROUS MANITOU
Senior girls set sights on strong season
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
A large contingent of girls have been calling the
Winston High School gym home in the early mornings
during the week as they have been preparing for the
volleyball season.
The Wildcat senior girls squad consists of 15 players and are coached by Kristin Callbeck, who takes to
the bench for another season.
Callbeck said they started rolling in the first week
of September and have been holding early morning
practices to get into game form.
Callbeck is looking forward to this year’s team
where six girls are returning from last year. “It’s a
great team . . . I am hoping the girls will try their hardest and hopefully we can make it to provincials.”
Last year the squad came out on fire and finished
the regular season at 7-1, tied with Imperial for top
spot. The girls team then defeated Imperial in the
league final to be the southwest league champions in
Horizon School Division.
They advanced to provincials but came up short.
Referring to the six veterans, the coach said they
have really stepped it up and are “taking a lot of the
leadership and are doing really good.”
Callbeck is also trying some different types of practices and drills and hoping that it will translate into
some hard-fought games where they will come out on
top.
The group heads into league action this week and
just wrapped up a tournament over the weekend in
Colonsay.
Overall, the team is entering six tournaments
across the map in places like Clavet, Lanigan, Regina,
Preeceville and, of course, their own tournament,
which goes Oct. 16 to 17.
Team roster includes:

The Bombers definitely have the most quotable coach in Mike Kelly.
When asked about fans in
Saskatchewan this past
weekend, Kelly replied:
“Don’t tell me I’m bald and
I need to be fired. I need
something good.” Once
again there were some
weird decisions by the
Bombers that played a major role in the Riders winning the Labour Day Classic. Included was somehow
botching the coin toss, giving the early advantage to
the Riders. How did the
Banjo Bowl go on the weekend?
And this year’s Plaxico Burress Award for
best self-inflicted football wound, according to
Dwight Perry, goes to . .
. Pacman Jones! “Seems
the kooky cornerback, on
the verge of signing with
the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue
Bombers, scuttled his own
chances with an ill-timed,
44-minute Internet video
in which he said he was
only biding time until an
NFL team beckoned and,
even worse, crowed that
his new team played in the
fledgling United Football
League.” Bombers’ defensive tackle Doug Brown
told the Winnipeg Sun,
“I’ve seen a lot of things
in 13 years of football. I’ve
seen guys get knocked out
on the field and forget what
score it is. It’s the first time
I’ve ever seen anybody forget what league they were
going to sign with.”

Lions defensive end
Cam Wake has made the
Miami Dolphins as a linebacker. Nice to see the
Riders get Kitwana Jones
back, although you do have
to wonder why the Eskies
dropped him.
Hough: “Have you heard
about the Brett Favre cocktail? Could be one of the
greatest drinks ever, but
it’s hard to know when to
quit.”
Gregg Drinnan: “Add
the name Jim Thome to
your list of good guys. It
seems that Thome, the
slugger who was dealt
from the Chicago White
Sox to the Los Angeles
Dodgers, is paying for the
post-secondary education
of 14 nieces and nephews.

than that, does it?”
As Bruce Sayler of the
Montana Standard wrote,
“Chunky Thatcher, boys
basketball coach at Butte
Central High School in the
1990s, once drew ire and a
fine for subbing a player
into the game to guard
the referee, ‘because that’s
who was hurting us the
most.’ It cost him two technical fouls — one for doing
it and the other for laughing about it.”
Golfer Ryan Moore

could have earned $200,000
for a logoed hat, $50,000 for

Grant offered
As part of Canada’s
Economic Action Plan, the
Conservative government
has launched the Apprenticeship Completion Grant
(ACG), which builds on
the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant, by offering an
additional $2,000 to eligible
apprentices after they successfully complete their
apprenticeship
training
and receive their journeyperson certification in a
designated Red Seal trade
on or after Jan. 1, 2009.
“By combining these
two grants, apprentices
who complete their apprenticeship training and
become certified journeypersons in a designated Red
Seal trade could be eligible
to receive a total of $4,000,”
said Blackstrap MP Lynne
Yelich. “It will benefit an
estimated 20,000 completing apprentices each year
upon their certification in a
designated Red Seal trade.”
Yelich noted that the ob-
jective in offering the ACG
is to encourage more Canadians to complete their
apprenticeship
training
and become skilled tradespeople.
Service Canada is currently accepting applications for the ACG with
eligibility for the program
made retroactive for apprentices who complete
their training and receive
their journeyperson certification in a designated
Red Seal trade on or after
Jan. 1, 2009.
Apprentices can go to
Service Canada at servicecanada.gc.ca/apprenticeship for information on
how to apply for either the
AIG or ACG. An apprentice
can apply either online or
complete the paper application form. Apprentices
must mail or deliver supporting
documentation
to Service Canada which
proves eligibility for the
grants.

For the first time ever in Canada, there has been a
change in which gender is outnumbering the other in
employment numbers. According to a Canadian Auto
Workers analysis of the annual unionization study by
Statistics Canada, women in Canada’s workforce outnumber employed men for the first time - that also includes during both of the World Wars.
During the Second World War, large numbers of men
were on military leave and women entered paid employment; however, there was still significantly more men
than women employed in the civilian labour force.
However, this year the study found an average 7.123
million women were employed during the first half of
2009 as compared to 6.963 million men. The larger numbers of women hold true for the under 25 years and 25
years and over age categories.
The study does not include labour force participation
rates, which would include all Canadians who are looking for employment.
The main reason attributed for the number shift is
because so many men have lost their jobs during the
economic crisis, mainly in the manufacturing and primary resource sectors. Those men are now unemployed
or have been forced into an early retirement or self-employment.
The study says that women’s employment is concentrated in jobs like sales, clerical work, health care, education, hospitality and social services where most of the
job growth has been happening.
However, with that CAW Director of Women’s Programs Julie White said, “The jobs performed by women
are also some of the lowest paid jobs in the labour market, often with minimal employment benefits and pensions, plagued by part-time work, erratic schedules and
temporary contracts.”

Tourist of the
week program
comes to an end
submitted by Danielle Frey, VRC manager
Our eighth and final couple to win one of our Tourist
of the Week packages was Peter and Mary Armstrong
from Toronto, Ont. They were headed down to Manitou
Beach to stay at the mineral springs for six days. They
planned to soak in the healing waters, do some sightseeing and relax. They have never been to our area before
and Mary heard about us from her esthetician, who
spoke very highly of the water’s abilities. We hope Peter
and Mary enjoyed their holiday with us. We were so
pleased to have such a sweet couple for our last week!
Yappy apple cake
2 cups white sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup nuts (optional)
3 cups apples, chopped
Beat first four ingredients well. Sift the next four ingredients and add to first mixture. Add apples and nuts.
Try using a combination of two apples, one banana,
coconut and walnuts. Mix together and pour into 9” x
13” greased pan. Bake 350˚F for 45 minutes or until done
(knife inserted into middle comes out clean). You can
try reducing the oil by 1/4 cup and sugar by 1/2 cup and
grate the apples instead of chop. It worked okay.

All in a day
submitted by Alvin Dieno,
Colonsay, Sask.
In 1955 I was employed
by a railroad company doing railroad maintenance
with a crew of 50 to 80
men in northern Saskatchewan. The working conditions and accommodations
were far different than
the rules and regulations
today. Wages paid 75¢ per
hour, no time and a half
for overtime and room
and board was $2.42 per
day. The average pay in a
week after deductions was
approximately $16. Living
quarters consisted of bunk
cars with upper and lower
bunks and housed eight
men. Those with seniority
had bottom bunks, others
used top bunks. Each
person had to have their
own bed roll and working clothes such as gloves,
mitts, coveralls and boots.
Boots had to be half soled,
have steel toes, clicker
plates on the heel and toe
and a tamping plate in the
arch. A pair would average
between 10 and 11 pounds
and would last approximately four months.
Breakfast was in the
diner at 6 a.m. and work

started at 6:45. There was
no time allowed for a coffee or smoke break. Dinner was at noon and work
resumed at 12:30 p.m. Supper was at 6 p.m. and sometimes during the summer
months work began again
from 6:30 until 9 p.m.
At the end of a day, one
was quite willing to turn
in and sleep. The bunk
cars were showing signs
of age and in the summer
dust was everywhere. In
the winter, snow blew in
around the windows and
doors. Around midnight
the fire in the stove died
out and in the morning the
water cooler was frozen.
In the summer the outdoor biffy was swarming
with flies and in winter
collected snow on the seat.
Mother Nature supplied
the urge to go and also the
urge to get there.
There was only one
radio owned by one of the
workers and was battery
operated. Sunday morning, if there was no work,
we sat around and listened
to the Voice of Prophecy.
Sunday afternoon was
spent washing clothes by
hand and mending clothes
and boots.
Looking back at the
previous half century I
can appreciate our modern day conveniences and
improved working conditions. At the time, it was
all we had and we made
the best of it. The bonus
was the opportunity to see
the beauty of northern
Saskatchewan, meet some
friendly people and share
our spare time with each
other.
A tip of the hat goes to
those who helped make
things better for us all.
Good job people; good job.

Manitou memory submitted by “Shy”: my family
and I were here in the ‘80s
visiting friends. Their
nephew was only a couple
of years older than me. He
was the first boy who ever
asked me out. We planned
on going to the drive-in
but he only had a bicycle
and a portable boom box
radio. He thought we could
sit just outside the fence
and listen since he did not
have enough money to pay
for both of us. However,
his aunt and uncle and my
parents found out about
our “date”. They made us
stay at home with popcorn
and a TV movie.
Manitou has one of the
last remaining drive-ins,
I believe one of three in
Saskatchewan. It is part
of the lake’s long history.
Take time to take in a movie the old fashioned way.
Apparently from the memory above, you can be too
young but never too old to
take your sweetie on a special date!
Summer Sundays, the
drive-in turns into a flea
market where some of the
best chocolate zucchini
cake can be found.
Speaking of the flea
market, I stopped by and
interviewed Larry Hunter, a three-year resident
of Manitou. He is an avid
rock hunter and believes
there are diamonds to be
found around here and lots
of them. I asked him how
he named his skinny greyhound Potato. Apparently,
as a puppy he looked like
a russet and was as dumb
as one, but he loves him
anyway.
I visited with Tara at
the drive-in concession.
Burt and Bev Crawford
have owned the place for
54 years now. She mentioned the popcorn popper
and the butter melter were
that old too but assured me
popcorn was made fresh
daily.
Thelma and Dale Kargut purchased a summer
cabin on Roy St. two years
ago after deciding that
property was very reasonable and travel time was
just right from Saskatoon.
Dale was coming most
weekends for some religious services and Thelma
said, “As you leave the very
busy life in Saskatoon, it is
like coming to a whole different world.” Part of their
cabin upgrades are a new
gas fireplace and insulation so they can expand
their summer visit time to
include April and October.
They had some visitors
this year who included
Thelma’s
twin
sister
Delma from Toronto and
slugs, which really seem
to like her stained glass
hostas. Some anti-slug
remedies are crushed eggshells and dishes of beer.
She does not think they
have a favourite kind. She
also recommends lasagna
gardening where you layer
newspaper, dirt, leaves,
twice over, to keep weeds
and tree seedlings naturally under control. Nice to
hear about people gardening without chemicals. It
helps maintain the wholesome healing elements of
Manitou. Thelma says to
put a few drops of glycerine in water, then your cut
hydrangeas will soak it up
and dry perfect.
Their daughter’s boyfriend travelled home from
Korea for a wedding. He
arrived Friday at 7:30 p.m.
and departed Monday at 6
a.m. - plus 20 hours travel
time each way. Once again,
it makes you really appreciate the great places like
the beach to enjoy with
just a short drive.
Deborah
Morse,
a
registered massage therapist, currently working
at Harmony House Bed
and Breakfast discovered
Manitou while travelling
across Canada and decided to stay awhile. Deborah
played university basketball in Montreal while
getting her phys. ed. degree and has travelled extensively. She has visited
most of Canada and the
United States and parts of
Europe including France
and Switzerland and rates
Manitou as one of her top
five favourite places in the
world. She loves the calmness and serenity of the
beach. As coinventor of
Healing Tapping Styxs and
designer of wire wrapped
store jewellery, she will be
travelling to three healing
trade shows in Saskatchewan and Alberta starting September and will be
doing her best to promote
visiting and exploration
of Manitou Beach. As the
weather gets colder Deborah hopes to visit Ecuador to explore volcanoes
and will be back to Manitou next summer. See you
then.
Nicole Tkachuk is new
to our beach environment
but not to the area. She
grew up in Watrous and
is the new owner of Salon
Bisou, which means kiss
in French adding a touch
of savoir flare to our area
and hopefully our looks.
We welcome her to the
neighbourhood.

of her 100th birthday. (Actual date Aug. 20). Approximately 165 people gathered
at the Davidson Parish

The afternoon began
with a tea capably handled by Davidson United

memories of his grandma.
Sister-in-law

a special tribute. Myrna
Pickering, granddaughterin-law read a special poem
that she had written. Another tribute by Ivan and
Grace Booker, brother and

great grandsons Brendan,
Ryan and Kaeden, narrated
a wonderful powerpoint of
Amelia’s life composed by
Rick’s sister-in-law Allison
Tokarchuk. Lori, Calyn
and Maryk Horn, granddaughter, great granddaughter and great grand-
son shared some special
thoughts. Gavin, Kirstyn
and Kyle Robertson entertained everyone with
piano selections. Daughter Irene Krassman read
an amusing poem contributed by sister-in-law Anne
Schumacher. Grandson Pat
Robertson gave a tribute to
his grandma followed by
reading and presenting
numerous congratulatory
letters from political members including the Queen
of England, governor general, and the prime minister plus several MP’s from
the Canadian parliament.
Greg Brkich, MLA of
Arm River-Watrous Constituency gave a tribute
and presented Amelia with
the provincial certificate.
There were also greetings
from the lieutenant governor. Amelia’s nine great
grandchildren, including
her youngest great grandson Blake Robertson led
everyone in singing Happy
Birthday. The afternoon
concluded with serving
birthday cake to everyone.
A delicious hot turkey
supper was served by Packet Foods to approximately
65 family and friends.
Sister-in-law Anne Schumacher said grace. Keith
Robertson, son, read a toast
to his mom on behalf of
himself and Irene Krassman, daughter. Family
members sang You Are My
Sunshine, a favourite of
Amelia’s followed by more
singing, guitar playing by
Keith and Rod Robertson
and piano playing by Don
Robertson, which ended
the evening.

graciously
thanked family and friends
for a wonderful day, commenting, “This was the

Welcome to Liberty
Visiting at the home of Bill and Judy Gebhard and our

Riki gave a monetary donation to our heritage site and

appealing and are grateful to those volunteers who keep
the area looking as good as it does.

Ron Walter, Returning Officer
continued from front page: TEXTING
Saskatchewan is planning to join a list of other provinces that already ban motorists from texting or using a
hand-held electronic device to talk at the same time as
operating a vehicle.
MLA for Arm-River Watrous Greg Brkich said legislation is being drafted for this fall and could be similar to
that of Newfoundland and Labrador and soon Ontario.
Premier Brad Wall made the announcement at the
start of the month after concerns were brought up about
the dangers of driving while being distracted.
Brkich said the “main priority is safety of motorists .
. . Texting is almost more of a problem than phoning. It
is getting to be a distraction. If we can save one life then
it will be worth it.”
Sergeant Ian Skinner who is acting officer in command for the ‘F’ Division Traffic Services in Saskatchewan said the RCMP supports the province’s proposed
legislative changes.
“This year the RCMP in Saskatchewan have laid 441
charges of driving without due care. Any sort of legislation which would reduce the distractions to drivers
would improve this fact.”
Skinner mentioned, “In Saskatchewan this year there
have been 104 motor vehicle accidents involving human
action as the root cause of the incident. Many of these
are attributed to driving too fast for conditions, failing
to yield, careless driving; however, 11 incidents are attributed to driving without due care.”
In fact, Car and Driver magazine recently conducted a
test to see how much texting really does impair a driver’s
abilities. The magazine compared the results of drunk
driving at .08, reading an email, and sending a text on
the same day in the same conditions. The group used a
straight road with no signs, traffic or pedestrians and
while drunk driving is unacceptable and should not be
done, texting did not fare any better.
Driving 112 kilometres an hour, it took .54 seconds
to brake while unimpaired; being legally drunk added
four feet; reading an email was an additional 36 feet, and
sending a text added another 70 feet on top of that.
Skinner said in Saskatchewan there are no fines in
place for texting or talking on cell phones but he did note
that “if the police investigating an incident establish
that someone was texting or talking on a cell phone at
the time of an incident, then that can be used to support
a driving without due care charge.”
Like many of us, the students polled also take their
cell phones with them while driving.
In Gr. 12, with both genders combined, 24 said they
drive while texting while 13 do not. That number rises
slightly when it comes to talking on a hand-held cell
phone, where 27 said they do while driving and nine said
no.
In Gr. 11, of the eight drivers in the class, three text
when driving, while five talk on a hand-held cell while
behind the wheel. For those who do not have their licence
yet, one said he would probably text while driving while
five said no and one was unsure. Four said they would
probably talk on their cell phone, another four said probably not and two were unsure.
However, when asked if texting should be banned
while driving, 26 Gr. 12s said yes it should while 12 said

no. That number changed, though, when asked if handheld cell phones should be banned. Twelve said yes and
25 said no, they should be allowed to use them.
In the Gr. 11 class, 13 said texting behind the wheel
should not be allowed while three said it should. Like
the Gr. 12 classes, the younger grade felt hand-held cell
phones should be permitted by a 10-6 count.
Heading south of our border to the United States, six
states have already banned hand-held cell phones while
driving, although no state completely has banned all
types of cell phone usage.
The numbers do increase when it comes to text messaging, where 18 states and the District of Columbia ban
texting for drivers.
Altogether more than 50 countries around the globe
have said no to texting while driving.
Some of the consequences of texting were passed recently and while for most there are fines issued, in Utah
a crash caused by a multitasking motorist can get them
15 years in prison if there is a fatality.
The RCMP is encouraging people to refrain from
using the devices while driving but if a person must use
the phone or text Skinner said, “Pull off the road or to
the shoulder of a highway before talking or texting. Another option would be to have a hands-free kit installed
in their vehicles.”
If the legislation is passed in Saskatchewan and banning texting or using a hand-held cell phone while driving is made law, Sergeant Skinner said there are a few
options as to enforcing that. “When we (traffic services)
do operations targeting enforcement areas, we quite
often use spotters in civilian attire. So we will be physically observing the offence. Quite often the driver will
admit the offence. We may need to obtain phone records
through a production order, or a search warrant if the
nature of the investigation demands it.”
The students who, like many, find themselves texting
or talking on a phone while driving, also had some very
valid comments on the issue.
“It’s not worth killing people, texting can wait! I’d
rather say hey to someone rather than goodbye! . . . I
think this is a good idea but texting while driving will
be hard to catch . . . Most don’t agree with it, but we do
it anyway . . . Makes you more aware when you’re texting. You watch your surroundings more carefully . . .
It is really sad but texting has become an “addiction”
to many kids. I will usually not try to text while driving
alone but with friends so they can pay attention with me.
Everyone knows it’s wrong, sadly, but it keeps happening!”
* Writer’s note: Special thanks to the WHS Gr. 11 and Gr. 12
classes for participating in the survey.
Rates going up for majority
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Vehicle insurance premiums are on the rise,
meaning most motorists
in the Watrous Manitou
readership area will be
paying more. The provincial government announced that effective
Nov. 1, an average hike of
4.2 per cent will be applied
to insurance premiums.
This is the first Saskatchewan Auto Fund
rate increase since 2000
and SGI Minister June
Draude said the reason
for the raise is, “For example, the increasing
costs of repairing vehicles
and income replacement
benefits are outpacing investment income and premiums.”
The changes are broken
down for Saskatchewan
vehicle owners: 553,000
or 55 per cent will see a
rate increase of $55 on
average annually; 32 per
cent or 321,000 will have
no change to their rates;
and 13 per cent, which is
126,000 people, will notice
a decrease by an average
of $21 a year.
The rate rebalancing
that was done in April is to
help better reflect actual
costs of insurance claims
for different vehicle types
and classes as well as the
collision frequency and severity, damage, injury and
liability costs. Currently
some vehicle groups, such
as motorcycles and com-
mercial trucks pay rates
that do not fully reflect
claims costs. There are
capped rates being implemented in certain rate
groups to help reduce the
“rate shock.”
Rates are determined
from actual risk each
vehicle make, model and
year represents for being
involved in a claim, and
actual costs of paying that
claim. Rates are available
on SGI’s website at www.

JUST LAYZING AROUND
life. It was a time to open one’s eyes, drink in the surroundings, notice the changes in the weather or landscape, and appreciate the larger world. You were out of
touch, and because you and everyone else knew it, it
was okay. In fact, it was more than okay – it was a relief.
Contact could always be re-established if necessary
at one’s destination. No one expired from not immediately knowing that Braydon held Taylor’s hand in the
hallway, or Jenna wore that awesome pair of jeans to
the party, or even that Bobby fell off his tricycle and cut
open his knee. ‘Instant’ anything was not available, and
so it wasn’t expected, needed or even wanted.
Yes, I will continue to bring my cell phone with me
every time I travel somewhere outside Watrous. It will
be turned on, and it may even ring. But I will warn you,
if that’s you on the other end of the line, give me lots of
time to answer. I need to find a safe place to pull over so
I can focus . . . not some, but all of my concentration on
what you have to say.

of the crop has been combined for the period Sept. 1 to 7,
up from eight per cent the previous week. That is according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly crop report
where an additional 19 per cent is swathed and six per
cent is ready to straight combine.
The 18 per cent is still lower than the five-year average, which is 33 per cent harvested.
Warm and dry weather has allowed farmers to get out
on the fields and 77 per cent of the fall rye has been harvested, 75 per cent of winter wheat, 65 per cent of the
lentils and 30 per cent of mustard. As for canola, 47 per
cent has been swathed and five per cent combined.
The southwest is furthest advanced with 43 per cent
of the crop taken off, while the northern regions have
just five per cent combined.
Crop damage has been mainly attributed to grasshoppers, wind, sawfly and dry conditions. Farmers have
been swathing more of their crops this year to try and
deal with variable maturity and sawfly damage.
Topsoil moisture has been rated as one per cent surplus, 70 per cent adequate, 22 per cent short and seven
percent very short. Looking at hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions, they are reported as 58 per cent
adequate, 31 per cent short and 11 per cent very short.
A sunny, dry and frost-free forecast is what farmers
are hoping for over the next few weeks to move the crop
into the bins.
THE WATROUS MANITOU
Manitou Beach
mapping out moves

Getting a sense of direction about where people
want the latest Manitou
Beach council to go was up
for discussion earlier this
month.
Recently-elected
members of council joined
forces with between 50 to 60
residents at Manitou Beach
and spent part of Sept. 5
talking about current and
future issues.
The current council
chatted about issues ranging from expanding the lagoon to acquiring their own
postal code. Village administrator Bobbi Crittenden
said after about 45 minutes,
those in attendance broke
into four groups and held
interactive sessions on the
topics of: general government; environmental and
health development; economic development; and
recreation and culture.
After the dialogue council encouraged everyone
to hand in feedback forms
and Crittenden said the
meeting was “very well received (by) the public.”
She mentioned that
meetings like this will take
place again in the future.
“The purpose is to give this
council an idea of where to
go.”
Mayor Eric Upshall
was also pleased with how
things went. “People are
interested in hearing what
is happening at the beach.”
Upshall said he laid out the
financial picture to those
in attendance, what type
of equipment the village
has and what direction financially they are looking
to go.
Upshall said they also
touched on the lagoon expansion. He said tenders
are out and hopes that work
will be closer to or complete
by the end of this year.
Along with the lagoon
expansion, the mayor said
they are looking at any possible way to stop the water
in the lagoon from going
into the lake.
Other current issues
that were touched upon
were “the potential for our
own postal code,” turning
up the civic pride by keeping the place neat and tidy,
preventing encroachments
on public land, continuing
to clean the lakefront and
the beach, talking about
law enforcement, working on the highway to get
drainage upgrades, and
examining traffic movement. Upshall said speeding is a “chronic problem,”
so they are brainstorming
ways to curb it.
He also reminded people
there are bylaws in the community that people have to
adhere to.
With those issues, Upshall said they just wanted
to “bring everyone up to
speed” and hopes people
will continue to interact
and submit their own ideas
to council so they know

where residents want to
move.
Upshall
said
once
they get all the feedback
from residents they will
be charting a course and
hopefully by next summer
have a sense of where to go
for the next five to 10 years
down the road. He said it is
important to have a consistent plan.
