To see or not to see? That
was the question last week on
Groundhog Day, when the furry
little creatures came out of hiding to look for their shadows.
In Nova Scotia, Shubenacadie
Sam arose to find his shadow,
meaning an additional six more
weeks of winter.
The eastern forecaster was
not the only one to see double.
According to the Canadian Press,
Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney
Phil and Ontario’s Wiarton Willie also saw their shadows, meaning more winter is on the way.
Closer to home, Saskatchewan’s Watson Willow saw her
shadow as well and has been

Announcements set tone
at annual convention
By Daniel Bushman

Regina became the home for mayors, councillors and delegates from across Saskatchewan last week as the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association met for
its annual convention.
Part of that contingent included delegates from Watrous: mayor Ed Collins, councillors Jodi Lewis, John Gunderson and Pat Isherwood-Thomas along with town administrator Orrin Redden all made their way down for this year’s event.
Collins who is no stranger to the event said this year “it went fairly well.”

Plan executed
when large
snowfall hits
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
With the snow not letting up, walking became
the main source of transportation in town during the storm that hit in late January. While
quads and other pieces of equipment came out
of hiding to help people maneuver, the heavy
work was accomplished by town crews who
made their way out to get motorists back on the
road.
Because of one of the largest snowfalls in the
area (up to 30 cm) in recent memory, town crews
cut their weekend short and dug themselves out
to help clear the streets Jan 24.
Public works superintendent Dion Tarasoff
said they started clearing Sunday and by the
following Tuesday had every street and avenue
passable. Crews were busy working into last
week tidying up and clearing corners for motorists to see oncoming traffic.
The poll on the Watrous Manitou’s website
asks how people feel about their town or village’s snow removal plan. The leading response

rived. The groups who also had to provide the local RCMP with their official passports took part in
lei making, fruit kabobs, volcanos, hula dancing,
beach volleyball and tourist photographs.
Softening the blow
After socking us in with almost a foot of snow,
Mother Nature sent another surprise, in the form of
a thick blanket of fog. While pretty to look at, it made
driving treacherous. –– TWM photo by Daniel Bushman

expressed
their
disappointment over the
new phone system at the

A musical afternoon was
enjoyed by a good crowd at
the Watrous Seniors Centre
Jan. 31. We welcomed back our
dependable entertainers: Glen
Larson, Harold Streeton, Joyce
Dahl and her daughter Isabelle
Langston. Newcomers included
Fred Unger, Sharon Moffat,
Janet Fedor and Jim Herr. Coffee and lunch concluded the
afternoon. Door prizes were
won by Mrs. G. Uhman and Kal
Benko. The seniors held their
January meeting one week
late (Feb. 1) due to the weather.
The treasurer’s report showed
that expenses for running the
hall exceeded the income so
money-raising ideas were discussed including the possibility
of putting on a Valentine tea.
However, this involves a lot
of expense and work for the
members so it was decided
instead to ask $10 from each
member as an alternative.

council notes
Jan. 20, 2010
submitted by mayor Eric Upshall
Council was pleased to receive a project overview and
update from representatives of BHP Billiton Canada Inc.
and Boyd PetroSearch, who is carrying out the Seismic
program on behalf of BHP.
Tim Davies, Upper Qu’Appelle River and Wascana
Creek Watersheds representative gave a review of the
work that has been done, and presented council with an
82 recommendation Source Water Protection Plan to be
reviewed. He also recommended that council purchase
a membership in the association for the sum of $100.
Council will review the plan then make a decision.
The foreman reported that lift station #3 needs significant electrical repair, and we will proceed with sewer
line repair between Albert Street and Winnipeg Street. A
company will be hired to insert a liner inside the existing
line. This will significantly reduce the cost by eliminating the need to dig up the street. Work has stopped on the
lagoon project for the rest of the winter. The double ceilings in the village hall will be removed and an engineer
will be consulted to help us to make the appropriate decision for repairing the problem. The existing zonolite will
be tested to ensure it is free of asbestos before we start.
Work continues with Canada Post to provide more
postal box sites. There is a possibility that we could have
as many as eight sites for the convenience of village
residents. We will keep you updated as this unfolds. We
are also proceeding with getting our own postal code. It
would be advisable that anyone using printed stationery
contact the village office for more information on the
time lines.
Council received a request and approved starting the
process to rezone Lot 4, Block D, Plan G 500 from C1 Commercial to R – Residential. Appropriate notification
will be given to the public as prescribed under section
248 of The Planning and Development Act 2007.
Imperial fire
spurs help from
community
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
A home near Imperial
was destroyed after a fire
tore through the building
last month. According to
the Simpson news printed in the Feb. 1 issue of
the Watrous Manitou, the
home belonged to Candace Gross and family.
The blaze, which occurred Jan. 24 during
one of the largest snowfalls in the area, burnt
the home about five miles
west of the community
to the ground.

Editorial and Opinion
Just Layzing Around
My son brought home his
second-term report card last
week, complete with grades for
the nine classes he’s currently
taking. There is a column of
numbers for first term, another
column for second term, and class
averages listed along the side. The
grades I get to view are a result of
many assignments and tests, each
with their own designated mark.
I began thinking about the
importance we place on numbers
and measurement in our lives. We
live and die, literally, by the time
on the clock and the date on the
calendar. We are born at 4:20 p.m.,
10/16/1955; we are declared dead
at 7:17 a.m., 03/22/2064.
We track our height and
weight as we count our way up
from our first year of life into our teens, twenties and beyond. The
numbers keep on adding up, and somewhere in the middle we decide
keeping such close track maybe isn’t all it’s cracked up to be! Yet later
on, the pride in that number returns as we soar into our seventies,
escalate through our eighties and head towards one hundred.
During the many years in between, numbers continue to dominate
our lives’ every waking moment. We measure our value by how many
dollars we earn. We measure our self worth by the shifting dial on the
scale, or the increments on the measuring tape. Our vehicles are highperformance powerhouses or lackluster lemons based on how fast they
can go, how quickly they can get there, and how much gas they burn in
the meantime - all carefully measured by dials, digits and debit cards.
Being a person who admittedly loves letters and punctuation far
more than integers, digits and decimals, I have to question our reliance - or more truthfully, our utter dependence - on numbers. Why the
compulsive desire to measure, compare, rank, calculate, quantify?
Certainly, there are reasonable needs for some of those numbers in
our lives. We certainly have to acknowledge the clock and the calendar.
We have jobs, obligations, activities and functions that need to take
place, regularly and on time. And I suppose keeping track of our age
serves some purpose, if for nothing more than reaping the benefits that
come with turning certain milestone ages: our license at 16, our voting
rights at 18, our grocery savings at seniors’ day!
But aren’t there better ways to measure success and happiness than
by our wages, our weight or our wonderful gas mileage?
What about by the quality of our friendships? Are there warm,
caring people in our lives we know we can turn to when all those cold,
hard numbers get us down?
How about our family relationships? Perhaps a weekly lunch date,
supper with everyone from the babies to the grandparents, or daily
email messages topped off with ‘I love you’ would fill the place in our
hearts previously occupied by our fascination with facts and figures.
Maybe a little self-acceptance deserves a spot in our tally book of
life. How much love could fit in the space where “I’m too _______” used
to be?
There are far better ways to determine our lives’ value than this or
that digit, measurement or dollar figure . . . you can count on that.

Got the grumps? That’s not a bad thing
Neighbourly
News
“What we have been
through the last four years
makes me sick. Everybody around here calls me
‘Grumpy,’ and I’ve become
that way as a direct result
of our record since I’ve been
here.”
Jeff Backus
The definition of grumpy
is surly; dissatisfied; bad
tempered; sullen.
We have all experienced
“grumpy” days ourselves,
even those happy-go-lucky
types who are always cheerful (even in the early morning
- there ought to be a law
against that).
Grumpy people pose a
challenge. I saw a sign in a
business one time which said,
“If you are grumpy, irritable
or just plain mean, there will
be a $10 charge for putting up
with you.”
But now it seems there
is actual proof that being
grumpy is actually good
for you.
An Australian psychology expert has been studying the effect emotions have
on people. His conclusion is
that being grumpy actually
makes us think more clearly.
The experiments showed that
miserable people are better at
decision-making and are less
gullible.
Being cheerful fosters
creativity but being gloomy
breeds attentiveness and
careful thinking. A grumpy
person can cope with more
demanding situations than a
happy one because of the way
the brain reacts.
After watching a series
Judging from comments,

are being vindicated.
Peg Hasein
One person intends to
show these results to “everyone who’s ever branded me
with various epithets for being negative.”
Another one commented,
“I am generally a very
grumpy person, but I have
noticed my decision making
and general awareness is
far higher than that of my
friends who are normally
much happier, jollier and
generally carefree. I love
being grumpy, it’s clearly an
advantage.”
And yet there are those on
the other side of the equation. “I work with the grumpiest man in the world and he
doesn’t seem to be any more
clever than me.”

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Suzie Snowflake
by Alvin Dieno, Colonsay Sask.
My name is Suzie Snowflake. My origin
is from atmospheric conditions that change
moisture into snow. I am unique, no other
snowflake has my shape.
The day when I was formed I fluttered
down slowly from space, drifting like a
feather in the wind, tumbling, rising, falling and gliding slowly to the earth. Just before I settle down on the grass I hear a little
girl say, “Oh, look at the pretty snowflake.”
By nightfall I am in a blanket of white
with billions of snowflakes. My friend
Jack Frost has made the temperature drop
and we snowflakes love the cold. When the
moonlight shines on us we sparkle like little diamonds. The north wind has started to
blow, lightly at first and then fiercely with a
howl. I am blown about, flying through the
air and coming to rest beside an evergreen
tree. After the storm I am part of a huge
snowbank. A little mouse is burrowing
through the snowbank, comes to the surface
and then disappears into the soft flakes.
After several days the weather starts
to get warmer and it is snowball time.
I get scooped up and packed into a ball.
This could turn out to be a shattering
experience. Yes, here I am zooming like
a missile on target. The impact almost
deforms my shape and now I am lying
on the snowbank again.
I must admit it was fun flying through
the air. Some kids are rolling snow to
make a snowman and I hope I can get in
on this creation. Yes, here I go into the
ball and I am part of the head. What a
view! Someone has put an obstruction
on the top, looks like a hat and now I see
only darkness. After a while the heat
from the sun is making the snowman
shrink and his hat has fallen off. I better
take a good look because it feels as if my
time to melt is approaching.
I began as a drop of water, turned
into a snowflake, was part of a snowball,
a snowman and now I am back to being
a tiny drop of water. When the grass is
green remember I helped make it grow.
See you next winter.

to pick up a few groceries. Nov. 30, two months
earlier, I lost my valuable
diamond ring that was
given to me as a gift from
my wife for our fifth wedding anniversary back in
1972. The ring was on my
finger for 37 years before
I noticed it missing. My
wife died 12 years ago and
this ring meant the world
to me. I was devastated! I
believed after searching
everywhere for the ring,
with all of its memories
and sentimental values,
it would never be seen
again.
The manager of the coop found the ring in the
freezer where chicken fryers were kept. That day
I had asked her for help
about the chickens in the
freezer and when I had
left the store she found
my ring and put it safely
away into the store’s safe,
not knowing my name or
how to contact me. She
remembered me only by
my appearance. When she
saw my entrance to the
store that day she came
up to me and told me that
she had a surprise for me
and handed me my ring
back. The miracle had
occurred! Happiness and
excitement came over me.
My great loss was found!
My heartfelt thanks
goes to Denise Morris,
the manager of the co-op
grocery store for finding
my ring and seeing that it
was returned to its grateful owner. God bless you
and the store you manage.
A truly satisfied customer,

How ta look at the news

An American has refused to order DNA testing on
a chimpanzee that is in the middle of a nasty divorce
settlement. A Missouri man wants to prove the chimp’s
parentage because he says it was born at the chimp
farm he ran with his ex-wife. The wife, who has the
beast, says it came from a wildlife park in California and
should not be included in the settlement. The woman
had to bring the chimp to court, because she could not
find a qualified chimp sitter. She argued that no one in
court would notice the difference between him and an
11-month-old baby “unless they looked closely.”
A state trooper was called to investigate an abandoned car on Interstate 95 near Oakland Park, Fla., and,
after investigating the scene, he had the car towed. The
problem was that he did not notice the body that had
been thrown from the car and was lying down an embankment. The car’s owner went to the crash scene and
discovered her boyfriend’s body after the towing company contacted her.
A woman in Olympia, Wash., became angered after
her husband left her, so she tampered with his power
tools so that he received a powerful electric shock. Carolyn Paulsen-Riat was arrested for investigation of thirddegree assault, domestic violence, and second-degree
malicious mischief.
After the Exxon Valdez
oil tanker struck Bligh
Reef off Alaska and created
a devastating oil spill, officials ordered large tugboats
to escort tankers through
the treacherous sound. The
Pathfinder, a 136’ tug with a
crew of six and a fuel capacity of more than 100,000
gallons was out scouting for
ice and ran aground . . . on
Bligh Reef. Three of its four
65,000 gallon fuel tanks were
breached, which dumped
tens of thousands of gallons of diesel into the water.
Randy Cassingham of This
is True quipped, “The blind

In Wilkes-Barre, Pa., a
student at a Roman Catholic college has apologized for
urinating on a public nativity scene. The student, 22,
admitted that he was being a drunken idiot, and did not
dispute the charges of public drunkenness, indecent
exposure, open lewdness and desecration of venerated
objects.
Brian Wallace was the victim of a severe beating
in Belfast in 2007. He was stabbed five times and hospitalized with lung and kidney lacerations, and is still
fighting to receive the $12,000 compensation from a government fund. Last December, Wallace learned that his
attacker, Simon Granhof, who had been mistakenly kept
in jail two weeks longer than his sentence, is eligible for
$20,000 from the government for deprivation of rights.
A desperate man phoned Britain’s 999 emergency
number nine times to complain about his wife going to
bingo. Among many other things, Michael Alldrick, 42,
called an operator a ‘slag’ during a seven-hour tirade.
He was sentenced to a one-year community order and
150 hours of unpaid work.
Eight teenagers in Germany were taken to hospital
after drinking chili sauce 200 times hotter than normal.

Unoccupied houses often are looted, but not very

“Some audiences that have seen the popular film
‘Avatar’ are suffering from depression and even feeling
suicidal,” noted Jerry Perisho. “It happened to me at
the box office when I saw the film costs 12 bucks.”
Peruvian police reported that a gang had been murdering people to harvest body fat, which was supposedly
being sold on the black market to European cosmetic
firms for $60,000 a gallon. At least 60 people were apparent victims of the fat gang. However, anthropology
professor Dr. William Mitchell of Monmouth University (NJ) said the story is so bizarre that the police must
be covering up something. The statement by the expert
in Peruvian myths led to
the truth that the missing
people are victims of police death squads. Apparently, human fat degrades
quickly and cannot be
sold.
After detectives seized
six large marijuana plants
growing in a wooded lot in
the Keys, they left a ransom note. It was left half
in jest but it was not even
ten minutes before they
received a call. Steven
Locascio, 48, negotiated a
$200 fee to get his plants
(worth about $1,000 each)
back, but of course the police were waiting for him
when he arrived.
On a similar note in
a place called Weeki Wachee, Fla., five people
were arrested after calling deputies to report that
someone had stolen their
pot plants. In going to the
house to investigate, police found 59 marijuana
plants growing inside the
residence. Although three
suspects said they knew
nothing about any plants
in the house, and another
said she had no idea they
were marijuana, the police arrested all five residents.
The owner of the
world’s biggest rabbit, Annette Edwards, has spent
£10,000 on plastic surgery
to transform herself into
Jessica Rabbit from the
film Who Killed Roger
Rabbit? Edwards, from
Worcester, England, has
been contacted by Playboy about a possible photo
shoot. The 57-year-old
mother of 10 admits that
she always liked the character. In March 2009, Jes-
sica Rabbit was voted the sexiest cartoon character of
all-time, 20 years after her first appearance in the 1988
animated film.
Jack Knowler, 61, and his girlfriend, Bev Rogers,
made it a habit to “go out” every Thursday night in
Bowmanville, Ont. They were always careful to have a
safe ride home. Nevertheless, they were still arrested as
they waited to be picked up outside the bar. Insp. Charlie
Green of the Durham Regional Police explained, “You
can’t be intoxicated in a public place. It’s an offence.”
Doesn’t seem fair at all, does it?
In Oldsmar, Fla., an 18-year-old man was arrested
after he pummeled his father because he was angry
over the man’s snoring. Dylan T. Watson, was charged
with domestic battery. I guess I got off lucky when my
little brat used to throw pillows at me!

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Sports and Recreation
THE POINT
AFTER
Curling, hockey and
football are the topics
up for discussion in this
week’s column.
Starting with curling
and brooms are up in
recognition of the Winston
High School teams who
have been busy competing: the junior boys who
won in pre-districts and
advanced to districts this
past weekend; the girls
team who will be going
to the Winter Games in
Moose Jaw during winter
break, and the mixed team
who has started down the road to provincials, which
will be held in Watrous in March.
There is definitely some awesome young talent in the
curling scene coming out of Watrous and that is great
to see!
Also hitting the ice was Team Saskatchewan at the
Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Sault Ste. Marie.
Amber Holland’s rink out of Regina represented the
province and has a local tie, that being Jolene Campbell,
Watrous resident Rene Miettinen’s sister. Campbell who
recently curled with Miettinen at the provincial event
is Holland’s fifth member of the team in the national
competition.
The rink hit the ice Jan. 30 against P.E.I. to open the
tournament but lost 10-3. The team then split their next
two games Jan. 31, but were able to knock off the thenundefeated Krista McCarville rink 7-6. Holland finished
the week one win short of a tie-breaker to advance to
the playoffs. She ended the round-robin portion with a
6-5 record and the finals went Feb. 7.
Over to hockey and where to start? A seven-player
blockbuster between Calgary and Toronto shocked
teams and fans Jan. 31 as former all-star Dion Phaneuf
was dealt to the Maple Leafs as part of the package.
Anaheim also got in on the action as they dealt longtime netminder Jean-Sebastien Giguere to the buds for
Jason Blake and Vesa Toskala.
This deal not only affected the teams, players and
their line combinations but also our family - because
three of us have teams involved in the deals.
Firstly, my brother Derek - a Ducks fan - was not
impressed at the move, feeling Anaheim deserved more
for the netminder and Toskala was not a decent pickup
in his opinion. I do not think he liked the fact that Blake
came with a high price either.
Secondly, my brother in-law Aaron was stoked. Being a Leaf ’s fan, he has not had much to cheer about
this year. His favourite part of the day was picking up
Giguere. He also did not mind the fact that Phanuef
joins a physical blue line with Luke Schenn and Francois Beauchemin.
Thirdly, my take. While I was never opposed to Phaneuf being shipped out of Calgary, it did take a while to
digest the deal to the Leafs. I had thought the defenceman would be dealt near the trade deadline and with
another higher-end player for a strong winger to help
captain Jarome Iginla up front. However, that was not
the case and instead the club got some depth.
That is a good thing when trying to go deep into the
playoffs but the team has to get there first and watching
them get shut out against Philadelphia was not a good
start!
Calgary general manager Darryl Sutter pulled the
trigger again, this time late Feb. 1, dishing centre Olli
Jokinen and Brandon Prust to the Rangers for Ales
Kotalik and Chris Higgins. That deal left the Flames
with a surplus of wingers and a lack of centres, spurring on the question, is the general manager cooking up
another deal or two?
I say yes, and I think a guy like Brad Richards would
be a perfect fit.
How about the Ilya Kovalchuk trade to New Jersey? I
thought the sniper would find a home in Hollywood but
New Jersey was the biggest buyer, giving up a couple of
draft picks, a prospect in Patrice Cormier and defenceman Johnny Oduya. My only question is, how will
Kovalchuk find the smothering defensive system on the
east coast when he is an offensive superstar?
He was apparently offered a couple deals to re-sign in
Atlanta before being dealt - one was for seven years at
$70 million, the other was around 12 years for over $101
million - and he turned them both down!
To the CFL, and the ‘Riders were beaten and bruised
last week, leaving them to search for a new offensive
coordinator and another new defensive end. Last Thursday it was reported that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
offered their head coaching job to Saskatchewan’s offensive coordinator Paul LaPolice. With his departure, the

The Watrous Winterhawks’ regular season came to
an end over the weekend as the team played three games
in a week span. The ‘Hawks travelled to Davidson Jan. 30
and were then at home to Nokomis Feb. 2 and to LeRoy
Feb. 6.
The team, which has been playing 500 hockey since
2010 began, got off on the right foot against Davidson,
scoring the games’ opening three goals.
Scott Brownlee got things started 13:45 in as Jon Bubnick found him to give the visitors the 1-0 lead.
Then just over a minute and a half later Patrick Ullyott notched his ninth of the season to make it 2-0.
Watrous continued to press and with 5:34 to go in the
opening frame, Gregg Woytowich sent a pass to Braydon
Vanthuyne and he made it a three-goal lead.
Davidson would respond 10 seconds later as Kurt
Gartner got the home team on the board from Josh Richardson and Jason Schneider.
With a 3-1 lead, Watrous would head into the second
period looking to build on that score and they did just
that as Ryan Riley made no mistake, making it 4-1 from
Vanthuyne and Justin Nicholson.
The Cyclones responded almost 10 minutes later with
Richardson and Schneider setting up Colin Johnson and
it was 4-2.

‘HAWKS FLY INTO PLAYOFFS
Davidson continued to press and two minutes later,
Derek Allan notched his team-leading 28th goal from
Ryan Shaw, Allan McNabb and Schneider.
With the teams separated by just a goal, Watrous came
to life 10 seconds later and Ullyott set up Zak Pankhurst
to give the visitors their two-goal lead, which the team
would hold into the third period.
In the final stanza, Davidson would get to within one
as Kevin Johnson scored from Shaw with 6:27 left.
However, the ‘Hawks would go to the powerplay and
re-secure the lead as Riley got his second of the game
from Woytowich with 2:36 to go.
The visitors would add another late one courtesy of
Jon Bubnick and take the game 7-4.
Nokomis invaded the centennial arena Feb. 2, one
point behind the ‘Hawks for fifth. The Chiefs who were
looking to overtake that spot, filled the net three times in
the opening period. The goal parade started with 13:36
to go as Jake McNichol got his sixth of the year. Justin
Popadynec got his first of the contest a couple of minutes later and then with 3:45 to go it was Jason Baptist
sniping one from Popadynec and Adam Hendry.
Trailing by three, Watrous registered its first of the
night with 14 seconds left as Vanthuyne and Harding
found Jon Bubnick to make it 3-1.
The ‘Hawks clawed to within one in the second
thanks to a goal by Spencer McArthur from Paul Hurd
and Sather.
However, Nokomis would begin to chip away at the
scoreboard and with 9:46 left, Chad Murton scored from
Murray Braun and Hendry.
Up 4-2, the visitors then found the back of the net almost two minutes later as the league’s top goal scorer,
Darren Murton notched his first of the game to create a
three-goal advantage.
Nokomis would add one more before the period came
to a close as Popadynec got his second tally in the contest
to make it 6-2.
Darren Murton continued to keep the visitors rolling
as he scored his second of the game less than two minutes into period three.
After that, it was the ‘Hawks turn to respond and they
would get two goals 22 seconds apart. At the 11:48 mark
Woytowich scored from Vanthuyne and then it was Mike
Bubnick from brother Jon and Brownlee to give the
home team four on the night.
However, Popadynec and Darren Murton would each
complete their hat tricks with their 31st and 34th goals
respectively.
That would be all the scoring and the Chiefs would
win the game 9-4 and move ahead of Watrous in the
standings.

Provincials end for most
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Many hopes of advancing deep into provincials
were dashed after the
opening round for local
minor hockey teams. The
Watrous senior ‘Hawks
fared better, and will continue in their quest for a
provincial championship.
Senior
The Watrous Winterhawks advanced past their
first round against Kinistino. The ‘Hawks won 6-3
and 8-5 and have started
to play Bruno. Watrous
was in Bruno Friday and
is at home Tuesday with a
game three, if necessary,
back on the road Feb. 13.
In provincial B, Lanigan faces Rosetown and
Strasbourg plays Balcarres.
For
provincial
C
matchups, LeRoy plays
Wadena and Drake faces
off against Allan. The Canucks headed to Allan this
past Friday and will be at
home Feb. 13.
Holdfast travelled to
Davidson in provincial D
this past Friday and will
then be at home Feb. 13.
Meanwhile,
Nokomis
takes on Lake Lenore.
Midget
In midget B, Clavet is
the only local team in action and they took on St.
Brieux. No scores were
posted as of press time and
the winner plays either
Melfort or Warman.
Midget C had Watrous
losing at home 9-2 to Naicam in the first game and
then 10-1 in game two, getting eliminated from the
event.
In another bracket,
Drake beat Kelvington 7-0
in their opener and then
4-2 in game two to advance.
Drake now takes on Hudson Bay with the winner
playing either Naicam or
Arborfield/Zenon Park.
For midget D, there are
only eight teams entered in
provincials with Viscount
opening against Lampman/Imperial. The winner
will play either Kenaston
or Glentworth to advance
to the finals. The teams in
the opening round have
until Mar. 1 to complete
their series.
Bantam
In category B, Clavet
received a first round bye
and faces Melfort. The two
have to finish their series
by Feb. 15 with the winner
taking on either Warman
or Shellbrook.
Bantam C had Drake
beat
Lumsden/Bethune
6-3 in their opening game
but lose 7-3 in their next
contest. Because the series was total point, Drake
was eliminated. In another series, Watrous fell
16-2 to Hodgeville and did
not play a second match,
so were eliminated.
Pee Wee
Watrous took flight in
pee wee C as they faced
Eston/Eatonia. However,
the Hawks fell 5-0 and 6-4,
eliminating them from
provincial play. Eston/
Eatonia now plays Strasbourg.
Category D features
Long Lake getting the first
round bye and coming up
against Conquest. The
winner advances to play
Radville or Quad Town. In
the first game, Conquest
won by a score of 16-3.
Teams have until Mar. 1
to complete their opening
rounds and then Mar. 15 to
wrap up their next series.

THE POINT AFTER
‘Riders are left to scramble for another guy to create an
elusive offensive scheme. Perhaps Marcus Crandell?
Also making waves, after defensive end John Chick
signed with Indianapolis, future free agent Stevie Baggs
signed with the Arizona Cardinals for one year, meaning one of the strongest parts of the green and white’s
defence has departed. While I did not think Baggs would
re-sign with the team, the ‘Riders have a lot of tinkering
to do and with the CFL’s free agency period starting next
week it should be interesting times in offices across the
league.
Meanwhile, the schedule for the 2010 regular season
was released with Montreal visiting Saskatchewan July
1 to open the year. The team hits the road to B.C. the
next week and will then host Edmonton before flying to
Calgary for a July 24 contest.
The ‘Riders’ week off comes during week eight in
August. Semifinals go Nov. 14, division finals Nov. 21 and
the Grey Cup Nov. 28.
For Saskatchewan fans, you can now plan your holidays! For the entire schedule log on to www.cfl.ca.
That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the
point!

New owner, familiar face
After getting Chester’s Chicken up and
running within the Manitou Hotel, Lane
Manson purchased the Last Mountain
Inn and will be taking over from Brian
and Dianne Dempsey Mar. 1. Mean-
while, Manson is in the midst of transforming
the former Cathy’s Sub and Cone Shop into
a place that offers accommodations to those
passing through or wanting to stay a while.

Stop by and welcome the
NEW managers back to Watrous!
Wednesday, February 17
➪ Denise
Morris:
Food Manager
After sleeping on it for
a while, Watrous business owner Lane Manson
decided to stop dreaming and make room for a
couple of business ideas
that would add to an already-expanding brand.
Manson recently purchased
the
Chester’s
Chicken
franchise
in
Watrous and has since had
it up and running in the
Manitou Hotel, another
venture he owns.
With Chester’s Chicken, he also acquired the
building that Cathy’s Sub
and Cone Shop used to be
located in.
The Main Street site,
situated not far from the
Manitou Hotel, has now
been undergoing renovations to transform the
restaurant into accommodations for visitors to the
area.
Manson is working on
the inside of the building to create six executive suites that will each
have a bedroom, kitchen
and bathroom. Construction is underway for the
medium-term hotel rooms
and permits are in order.
While the rooms will
not be ready for a couple of
months yet, Manson said
they will give people coming to the area different
options. For those looking
at staying for an extended
period of time, the executive suites will provide for
that. Workers in the area
needing accommodations
will also find the rooms allow a little more space and
privacy.
Virtually across the
street, the six rooms add
to the 12 located in the
Manitou Hotel. “We want
to be a full service hotel.”
Even with those two
properties, Manson was
not done quite yet as he
felt a piece of the puzzle
was still missing.
The Watrous-born businessman, who turns 26
next week, decided to purchase the Last Mountain
Inn on 1st Ave. E. and will
officially take over from
Brian and Dianne Dempsey Mar. 1.
“When I bought the hotel, I talked to them (Dempsey’s) about their business
and they spoke about not
doing it forever. They have
done a really good job and
have a good reputation. I
think one of the biggest
buying features was the
kind of shape the business and the building are
in. You can see the attention to detail.”
The 18 rooms - 14 of
them with two queen beds
and four with kitchenette
suites - will be part of the
rebranding process Manson intends to do. “I am
excited about it because
of what is going on here.
With all the work that is
going on around here,
people need rooms. ”
A manager is already
lined up and Manson will
be integrating the staff
come March.
The trio of local sleeping accommodations Manson will have is not something completely new for
him.
“I (also) have a motel in
Radisson (Midway Motel)
and I like the business. I
think with the area here
there is a demand for that.
It adds to the direction I
want to go. I want to get
outside of the box and I
think it also gives people
options.”
Manson wants to create familiarity by combining all three of the
facilities into one brand
under Manitou Hotel. He
is seriously considering
changing the name of the
motel to Manitou Last
Mountain Inn once he
takes over next month.
With the three establishments in Watrous, 36
rooms will be available. “It
is a fair number of rooms.
If someone has a wedding
or other event and they
have a group, there are different options for them.”
For Manson, returning
to his roots has provided
him with lots of possibilities for moving into the
future. “Having the opportunity to come back
here is great.”
Meanwhile, outgoing
owners Brian and Dianne
are happy with the decision. Dianne said they
“have been running the
place for the past eight
years. It is a hopping little
business.”
Brian echoed those
sentiments. “The business was wonderful. It
was everything that we
expected and more.”
He said when they
bought the motel it was
like Watrous came with it.
The pair who moved from
Toronto to the area to own
their first motel said the
people have been really
friendly and willing to
lend a hand.
Brian said over the
years they have built up
a steady group of regular
clients and it will be sad
not to see them but after
taking pride in what they
did, the two are ready
for retirement and have
purchased a house in
Nokomis.
The
business-savvy
person said the pair may
find something quieter to
buy but for now they will
enjoy some rest and relaxation.

A Serious Man - One of the best picture nominees
this year and the latest from Joel and Ethan Coen. A
Serious Man tells the hilarious story of a Jewish man
dealing with family and career in the ‘60s. Based on the
Coen boys’ real life apparently, this jet black comedy is
made for Coen brothers fans only. No crowd pleasing O
Brother, Where Art Thou or No Country for Old Men
here. This one is more in the Barton Fink department. I
will not spoil the plot such as it is but kudos to lead actor
Michael Stuhlbarg and thanks to Joel and Ethan Coen
for another masterpiece to their ever expanding list of
great movies. (14A)
The Time Traveler’s Wife - Just in time for Valentine’s Day this Eric Bana/Rachel McAdams romance
based on the huge bestseller hits home. I have not seen it
yet. (PG)
The Stepfather - Remake of the excellent 1987 Terry
Quinn (Locke on TV’s Lost) thriller. This time with nice
guy Dylan Walsh (Sean on TV’s Nip/Tuck) in the role of a
psychotic serial killer in search of the perfect family and
when they disappoint him he kills them and moves on.
His current family has a suspicious son (Penn Badgley
from TV’s Gossip Girl) and an understanding wife, Sela
Ward, who does not suspect her hubby until it hits the
fan. Good remake, one of the very, very few. (14A)
Ice Castles & Universal Soldier 3: Regeneration
- Another dose of “Hollywood has run out of ideas cinema”. First a remake of the 1978 tearjerker about a blind
skater . . . awwwwww and Jean-Claude Van Damme and
Dolph Lundgren are back for a third go around of the
Universal Soldier franchise that we have all been waiting
for. The boys are looking old. Castles PG, Solider 14A
Bronson - Here is an eye opener. Anyone who has
ever seen the excellent 2000 movie Chopper with Eric
Bana will see the similarities in this harrowing true
story of Michael Peterson who after being sentenced to
a prison term for robbery had a mental breakdown and
thought himself a psychotic Charles Bronson and ended
up serving over 30 years in prison much of it in solitary.
Violent, disturbing, harrowing film, not for the faint of
heart. Lead actor Tom Hardy is amazing. Rough stuff
but a great movie. (18A)

TRAVELER’S WIFE
Jeffery Straker And
The Handsome Strangers
If you put a little Elton John, and a little
Rufus Wainwright in a blender, tossed in a
dash of Mika - then hit puree - you would
get Jeffery Straker. This Canadian singer/
songwriter/pianist takes inspiration from
pop-rock, folk, and cabaret leanings and
blends in his distinct tenor voice.
Straker has received some marvellous
reviews from Canadian Musician Magazine to Mark Hunter on Z99 radio Regina
who says, “Response to your song has
been so good, we’re adding it to our play
list. Congratulations!”
Jeffery is touring his new chamber-pop
album Step Right Up across Canada. This
past summer he opened for Mel C (from
the Spice Girls), and the Regina Symphony. Hypnotized from his Step Right Up
Album was number six on Much More in
‘09.
This Saskatchewan-raised musician
has performed in Ireland, China, New
York City and Panama and he is going to
be here in Watrous. See coming events
for details. Visit www.jeffstraker.com for
more on this talented guy.

There was a good turnout for the Service Club Soup and Sandwich lunch at the

and a good selection of open face buns
and sweets to choose from, something to
look forward to once a month.

Good day everyone. As Feb. 2 was
Groundhog Day I started to think about
how that relates to us. As we have no
groundhogs or probably the desire to import such a critter then we have to rely on
the forecast from our own Manitou Menagerie. Our local critters, i.e. raccoons,
deer, porcupines, skunks and mice, if
they decided to look for their own shadows, would have encountered more snow
coming down from a sunless sky. Thus,
we will have an early spring, so be sure
to get involved with winterfest Feb. 27.
Donations are being requested for a silent auction which will be a part of the
festival. The proceeds will go to the Haiti
earthquake victims. Jim Herr and other
rec. board members are the people to contact about all this. No doubt there will
be more news coming about winterfest
so keep checking the events page in this
paper.
Eight members of the Manitou Salt ‘N
Pep-Hers attended the Women on Snowmobiles fundraiser. Shelley Engele of
the Manitou Beach Westby family played
piano until the snowmobilers arrived and
then everyone enjoyed a roast beef dinner. Clara Boynton won one of the door
prizes. I missed the event because of yoga
class where we were trying hard to stand
on our heads.
Our new residents from the Philippines have been enjoying their first winter by learning to skate at Watrous arena
and cross-country ski at Wellington Park.
With all this snow, groomed ski trails will
be very welcome. Have a great week, Sue.
High ranked Elk in Allan
Elks members from Allan and surrounding area
will play host this week to
the national leader of the
well-known fraternal organization.
Duane
Romuld
of
Brooks, Alta. will be making a stop at the Allan Elks
Lodge No. 546 Feb. 11, during their regular meeting
night. The guest carries
with him the title of National Leader of the Elks
of Canada.
Romuld has dubbed this
year’s theme as ‘friends
and family’, something
that describes what mem-
bers of the Elks and Royal
Purple are and what they
become by joining the Elks
of Canada.
Romuld, the oldest of
seven kids was born in
Saskatoon and married in
1977. The automotive appraiser who has two children joined the Brooks
Elks Lodge No. 77 in 1980
and has been there ever
since.
Romuld served the
lodge as an officer in several positions including
exalted ruler and lodge
secretary for five years. He
also served on several com-
mittees over the years and
enjoys getting out to any
event.
The
lodge
member
served on the membership
services committee for two
years and was elected to
the grand lodge executive
in Brandon in 2003.
The Elks and the Royal
Purple were founded in
Canada in 1912 and have
a total membership of almost 20,000. The organization works for the good and
welfare of the community with priorities for the
needs of children, senior
citizens and others.

Message from principal
Mrs. Christy Baumann
We have had a great time
in January with hiring a
new teacher, having “snow
much fun” on the early dismissal morning and final
exams! We are looking
forward to an SCC annual
meeting, report cards, a
high school dance, Norbert
Georget’s presentation on
drugs, alcohol, and drinking and driving, another
early dismissal and February break! I would, however,
like to bring to everyone’s
attention some upsetting
incidents we’ve been experiencing here at VCS.
Students are having trouble
showing respect for school
property. Washrooms have
been vandalized with writing, soap and paper towel
have been wasted, lounge
walls and couches have
been wrecked. I encourage
everyone to have a discussion with their child(ren)
about the importance of
showing respect for school
property and showing respect for others as well. We
have had assemblies and
classroom talks regarding
these issues, but hearing
it from the parents would
also be appreciated. I want
everyone to be proud to
be a part of our VCS community. We have a wonderful, newer facility here and
are very fortunate to have
the opportunity to come
to a beautiful, welcoming

Bruce Hill, president of the Canadian Cherry Producers, has returned from a 10-day tour of Beijing, China.
The mission was sponsored by the Sask. Greenhouse
Growers Association and graciously hosted by Mr. Zhou
(a Sask. greenhouse owner) and his family. Aside from
visiting several historical sites (such as Tiananmen
Square, The Great Hall of the People, Forbidden City)
the group was taken through several greenhouse facilities. The tour of solar greenhouse facilities and new production methodology and technology was extensive and
impressed the tour members. Aside from the technology,
the sheer size of the greenhouse research was remarkable.
Beijing is the second largest city in China (next to
Shanghai) and has an estimated population nearly the
entire country of Canada. It has six ring roads. The Forbidden City is a walled (26 ft. high and 22 to 28 ft. thick
which is surrounded by a moat 20 ft. deep and 170 ft.
wide ) compound, which was the imperial palace from
the Ming to the end of the Qing Dynasties(1406 to 1912)
consists of almost 1,000 surviving buildings and covers
7,800,000 sq. ft. (180 acres). It is a world heritage site and
has the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden
structures in the world. Tiananmen Square is the largest
city square in the world (2,887 x 1,640 ft.). It has been the
site of many events, among which a gathering of prodemocracy protesters in 1989. The protest ended when
hundreds of these protesters were killed by government
troops in the streets leading from the square. Its size
would accommodate the entire population of Saskatchewan. The Great Hall of the People is akin to our parliament buildings. It was built in 1959 in only 10 months.
It is 1,849,239 sq. ft. Most people are not allowed into the

In my front yard
In my front yard, snowbanks are high
Some reach the level of my eye
Beside the driveway - like a wall Kids think they’re great; they have a ball!
But all this work just makes me sigh.
Move snow today! Ten inches lie
Upon my driveway - I could cry!
More snow to shovel, pile and haul
In my front yard.
Folks see me work and wonder why
I shovel snow, when over by
The store, a “blower” waits a call.
I should have bought one in the fall,
To save me work when snow piles high

A change
for St.
Peter’s
program
St. Peter’s Alternative
Program located at St.
Peter’s College in Muenster,
is an excellent program for
high school students experiencing challenges in a
regular school setting.
Unfortunately, this program has been suffering
from declining enrolments
for the past three years.
Horizon School Division
has reviewed the program
in terms of both its feasibility and sustainability.
In order to continue the
operation of St. Peter’s
Alternative Program, the
decision has been made to
move the administrative
responsibility for the program to Muenster School.
The current principal
of St. Peter’s Alternative
Program is Ms. Lorraine
Jansen. Ms. Jansen will be
appointed as the vice principal of Muenster School
with responsibility for
supervising the St. Peter’s
Alternative Program. The
current staff will remain at
St. Peter’s for the remainder of the school year. The
staff at St. Peter’s will now
be under the supervision
of principal Marilee Sterner of Muenster School.
St. Peter’s Alternate
Program has enjoyed a
long and storied history.
Most importantly, it has
provided a means whereby
students who do not fit into
the mainstream educational environment are able to
complete their Gr. 12 and
move on to meaningfully
contribute to society. Marc
Danylchuk, director of
education stated, “Horizon
School Division is extremely proud of the students
and staff, both past and
present, who have been
a part of the alternative
program at St. Peter’s. We
want to continue to make
this a strong program that
students will want to be a
part of in the future.”
The board of education
will continue to consider
options for future delivery
of this program. In keeping
with the board’s Principles
for Action, ongoing consultation with stakeholders
will continue in order to
afford ample opportunity
for input into the future of
St. Peter’s Alternative Program.
THE WATROUS MANITOU
Staying safe while walking in winter conditions
While the deep freeze
returned last week, the
rest of January had people
enjoying spring-like temperatures and many avid
walkers were able to get
out and about.
But, being winter, darkness still falls earlier and
stays later, forcing walkers to decide whether or
not to venture out on a
walk.
Wendy
Bumgardner
who has walked thousands
of 10 km events and seven
marathons, and organizes
Obst kuchen
(Rundi Koki)
walking conventions and
the yearly Vancouver Discovery Walk Festival said
on a website there are
quite a few different suggestions walkers can take
when walking at night
or in the dark during the
winter months.
Wearing reflective gear
to be seen is important as
cars may not recognize
you as a human if you
have only a couple small
reflective patches. Reflective stripes should be on
your clothes running in
the front, back and down
the sides. A safety vest is a
good example of this.
A lightweight flashlight can be a good tool
even though streetlights
may be present. A headlamp can also be used to
keep hands free and not
stress wrists.
A few night safety
rules are also good to
have in place, which can
include: use sidewalks
and off-road paths rather
than the street; walk facing traffic so you can
see and react to vehicles;
use extra caution when
crossing streets; safety in
numbers - use the same
routes as other walkers
and runners; beware of
tripping hazards by walking with your eyes, noting
the ground 15 feet ahead;
and do not be blinded by
the light - headlights can
make it difficult to see so
choose paths without frequent changes in lighting
levels.
Fear of strangers can
also deter many from
walking. Strangers who
attack you have nothing
personal against you,
they are just looking for
an easy target. To be less
of a target, buddy up with
a walking friend or dog
or even carry a walking
stick. Do not distract yourself by talking on your
cell phone, wearing earphones or having an MP3
player. That might appeal
to others as something
worth stealing. If you see
a suspicious person, cross
the street or change your
path.
If a person does not
enjoy walking in the dark,
Bumgardner
suggests
shifting walking time or
place. That could mean
doing a couple of shorter
walks before or after the
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups milk
5 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
4 big or 6 small apples
Sift flour and salt in a
mixing bowl, make well
and put in milk and egg
yolks. Mix well. Peel apples
and take out core, cut in
small pieces and mix in
batter. Beat egg whites
very stiff and fold into batter. Drop batter from spoon
into hot, deep fat and fry
until brown on one side,
then turn and cook until
done. Dip in sugar or syrup
to eat.

are using a treadmill,

Town crews were not the only ones with a large task on
their hands in Watrous. Businesses had shovels at the
ready and residents had lots of work ahead of them after
up to 30 cm of snow fell in the area. The large snowfall
started during the second last weekend in January.

is: ‘It is exceptional: clearing starts during the storm
and finishes within a day or two after.’ Of the five options listed, 21 per cent (third overall) have chosen ‘plan,
what plan?’
Whether or not that answer was selected by Watrous
folks, Tarasoff said the town has a plan in place for the
community when a storm of this magnitude hits.
Much like Saskatoon, the priority streets are cleared
first. He said that means the downtown core and “all the
streets. That allows emergency vehicles to get to almost
any part of town to within a block. The avenues then get
done as we see where no vehicles are parked on the street
. . . We need to have fire trucks and the ambulance able
to move.”
That was one thing Tarasoff wanted to remind residents about: to remove their vehicles from the streets
as soon as possible so that crews are able to make full
sweeps of the street. While they prefer to do the streets
with no cars parked on them, they will go down all eventually, and some abandoned vehicles could find themselves enclosed in a mound of snow because a path needs
to be cleared for motorists.
He said there were also a large number of complaints
about the ridge left from the grader overflowing snow
onto driveways. Tarasoff said they try and prevent the
ridge as much as possible but are not able to go back and
clear every one. He asked residents to be understanding
on that issue.
Tarasoff encouraged people clearing their driveways,
sidewalks or lots to keep the excess snow on their yard as
opposed to pushing it out onto the street. “It adds to the
snow clearing and adds safety issues too.”
Once motorists have passable roads, then crews
will bring out the trucks and haul away the heaping
mounds.
The town has two dumping locations: one in the industrial area north of Quality Plus and the other on the
west side of town by Westridge Manor.
Because of added contract work, the snow removal
budget felt a dent but Tarasoff said they did not need to
contract any work out last winter so nothing was spent
in 2009 for that. The remaining portion of the snow removal budget has already been figured out because they
budget their own crew.
With a large snowfall like the one last month, Tarasoff
wanted to remind motorists and residents to stay clear
and maintain a safe distance from crews so that they can
get the snow cleared away as fast as possible.

THE WATROUS MANITOU
from front page:
WEATHER
three for three in predicting
the forecast ahead.
The tradition and origins of the day are not clear,
but could likely be because
Groundhog Day comes between the start of winter
and beginning of spring.
If a groundhog sees his
shadow Feb. 2 then it will
flee to its burrow, meaning
six more weeks of winter.
If not, then spring is right
around the corner.
Closer to home, if temperatures at the end of
January were any indication of a prolonged winter,
then they agree with the
groundhogs.
While the middle of last
month may well have been
one of the warmest stretches in recent memory, the
end was not quite as kind.
The warmest day for
the month in the Watrous
area came Jan. 16 when it
reached 4.4˚C. Hot on its
heels was the 4.1˚C enjoyed
the day before.
From Jan. 11 to the 24th,
the coldest high came in
at -5˚C. Over the past several years, there were also
stretches when temperatures were relatively mild,
including in 2006 when
it was maybe one of the
warmest Januarys ever.
In 2009, from the 16th
to 21st it ranged from 4˚C
down to -3.7˚C; in ‘08 from
the second to the seventh
it was 5˚C to -5.7˚C; in ‘07
from the 21st to the 26th it
went from 4.5˚C to -5.8˚C
as a range; and in ‘06 temperatures went below -10˚C
just twice the entire month
with an average high of
-3.7˚C. From the first to the
19th, temperatures ranged
from 2.8˚C to -7.5˚C.
Back to 2010 and the
coldest high of January
came on the seventh at
-25.3˚C and the coldest low
was -39.1˚C to kick off the
new decade Jan. 1.
Wind chills also made
numerous days feel a lot
worse than what they were
temperature wise with
winds getting as high as 63
km/hr later in the month.
The average high for
Jan. 2010 was -8.8˚C and the
average low was -17.6˚C.
Ending off the month, the
highs ranged from -11.5˚C
to -20.3˚C with lows in the
mid-20s.
As for February, to kick
off the month, temperatures were in the low to
mid-teens as highs, and
high teens to low twenties
for lows. Normals for the
month are -8˚C for a high
and -18˚C as a low.

A distant memory?

Two weeks makes quite a difference. Today there is little evidence of the storm
that blocked streets and sidewalks in Watrous Jan. 23 to 25.

Thank you to everyone who
gave cards, flowers, gifts and
food after the passing of our
mom Rose Schmidt. We appreciate all your kindness.
- Joyce and Rob and family
The last weeks of my wife’s
life were made easier by the
presence of so many friends
who were there for us. Words
cannot express my gratitude.
To our children for being present at this trying time - thanks.
To Dr. Saxena, home care
and the nurses who treated
not only Toots so well, but
the entire family - thanks. To
Rev. Gerrit Kamphuis for his
inspiring service and words of
comfort at this time - thanks.
To our dear friend Donna for
her stirring tribute to Toots,
to Ida and Donna for attending the register and to June,
Peter, Doug and the choir
for their uplifting music that
made this a true celebration
of Toots’ life - thanks. To the
community club and the quilting guild who provided the
lunch following the service
- thanks. To all who brought
food, flowers, best wishes
and all who were present with
my family to share this day thank you.

JULIA ANNA
ERICKSON
Aug. 3, 1934 Jan. 19, 2010
Daughter of Leonard
Joseph Welder and Monica Agnes Welder (Hagel).
Sister of Michael and
Raymond Welder, Dorothy
Dixon. Wife of Roger Alfred Erickson. Mother of
Brian/Kathy
Erickson,
Terry/Audrey Erickson,
Debra/George
Scarfe,
Carol Erickson (Freeborn),
Grant Erickson, Carla/
Allan Simpson. Grandmother of Paul/Robyn, Aaron,
Karen Scarfe and Jennifer Heck, Amy, Ashley and
Michelle Erickson, Ashley Erickson, Vincent and Mallery Freeborn, Chanelle and Keegan Simpson.
It is with much sadness that family announces the
passing of Julia in Lethbridge, Alberta at the Lethbridge
Regional Hospital after a challenging battle with vascular dementia.
Julia worked very hard throughout her life. Her main
employer was SaskTel as a telephone operator. This job
took her and her family to many towns in Saskatchewan
where she assisted the telephone company in transforming from manual to automated services. When the
family made their way to Saskatoon Julia worked for
GWG manufacturing, Shauna Lee Mukluks, CNIB, and
Delhaven Lodge.
At a later date family will return Julia to her home in
Young, Saskatchewan where her heart has always been.
