■ submitted by Gary Bergen/Watrous A group of dedicated volunteers has been busy working towards the goal of one day seeing a heritage centre become reality in Watrous. For-mally brought into existence by a town bylaw Mar. 5, 2012, the Watrous & District Museum Board has been meeting regularly for about a year. Board chairperson Kathy Bergen said, “We are excited about the possibility of having a permanent place to store and display the his-tory and heritage of Watrous and area. We realize we have a long way to go, but have already had a number of individuals express strong support for the idea, and we have also had contact from those who have valuable historical items that need to be preserved.” Though the entire project is still in the concept stage, the board is set on developing something more of a heritage centre than a museum. “We want to emphasize that it will not be duplicating what other rural museums currently offer - a collection of old trac-tors and artifacts - but an innovative and creative handling of the his-tory of Watrous, Manitou Beach and CBK Radio, believing it is critic-

ally important to help preserve the history and heritage of Watrous and District,” Bergen said. One of the fi rst major steps the board has undertaken is work-ing with Sagehill Community Futures Development Corporation on a feasibility study to look at all aspects of the project to determine its possible size and scope, which should be completed by November. To begin archiving the history of the community, the board has developed an on-line virtual museum with over 400 pictures, graph-ics and videos of Watrous, Manitou Beach and the CBK radio sta-tion. The website www.watrousheritage.ca will give those interested a chance to see what the project is all about. The board will be making a number of presentations and displays to the public and schools beginning this fall. The fi rst will be “Our Main Street - Past & Present”. Displays will be set up in the civic cen-tre’s Heritage Room Sept. 24 and 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. Hopefully school classes will visit during the day. This fi rst event is being held in con-junction with Culture Days in Saskatchewan.

Preserving historyThe fi rst acquisition: a 1968 fi retruck used by the Town of Watrous until 2012. Board members include: in driver’s seat - Dwight Kornelsen; top - Brendan Manz, Darlene Kornelsen, Sue Alcock, John Gunderson; front - Lionel Sproule, Karen Schroeder Mark, Gary Bergen, chair Kathy Bergen and Orin McIntosh. –– photo submitted

People in Watrous are now able to combine their recycling after changes have been made to the REACT program. The move, the fi rst in the district, also allows residents to recycle household plastics, something that has not been offered since 2004.

General manager at REACT Waste Management Wendy Yaworski said they are now offering a no-sort recycling program. The single stream program means people can clump their approved recyclables together and dump them into any one of the blue bins around the community.

“In their households what they can do is take one container and they can put their papers, their plastic, all material like that . . . we thought this would be very convenient for the public,” said Yaworski. “It is simple and easy to understand.”

Glass will still need to be placed separately in small blue bins but otherwise Yaworski feels this move by REACT should benefi t residents.

The blue bins will remain as is but last Wednesday new stickers were put on them reading ‘recyclables only.’ Information on the new program was also delivered into residents’ mailboxes.

“We are asking residents to carefully read these pamphlets and save it because there is a lot of good information that explains to people what can be recycled and what can’t be recycled.”

Household plastics that have the recycling arrows logo on it with a number ranging from 1 to 7 inside that triangle will be accepted.

“If there is no number in the

After two years of hard work, planning and dedication, organizers of the student leadership conference (SLC) in Watrous are just about ready to go. Winston High School was named this year’s host for the provincial event that will see upwards of 750 students attend along with teachers and administrators.

Chair of SLC and teacher Tina Edwards said you can feel the buzz building about the event. The ‘Make A Wave’ event that goes Sept. 19 to 21 features a

variety of activities from a barbecue to speakers, sessions, a dance and the Terry Fox Run.

Student co-chair Ethan Van Vaals said they are past the planning stage after a lot of committees met over the summer. Along with the excitement of the conference approaching, they have a bit of work left to do.

“You can tell that the student body is really excited about this, too.”

Sarah Hanson who is the other student co-chair said the conference itself is for student leaders coming together to help better their community and school.

Van Vaals added they

can then “bring it back to their schools and try and make new ways to motivate their school body to become leaders.”

Registration begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. and then a welcome barbecue and activities are being held at the high school. The fi rst keynote speaker will address the group at the curling rink before billet families arrive at the schools to pick up students.

The pickup Wednesday night at 9 p.m. will be either the elementary or high school. Edwards said, “We couldn’t have this conference if we didn’t have places to billet our students.”

As they were short about 15 spots as of last week, Edwards said it is not too late to still sign up as a billet family. Those taking in students are asked to attend the Sept. 17 meeting at the high school.

“Every family who’s billeting people should come. We will give them a list of their students, a list of their names and places they are from, and where to pick them up.”

Thursday will feature a trade show at the high school gym, more speakers, sessions during the afternoon and then a

banquet and dance will end the evening.

On Friday, opening activities, a presentation for next year’s SLC, and a speaker will begin the day followed by the Terry Fox Run.

Terry’s brother Fred who will be in Watrous as the keynote speaker for the Student Leadership Con-ference is scheduled to talk to the group after the run.

Beginning at 10:15 a.m., students, teachers and the general public can meet at the parking lots between the high school and ele-mentary school before de-

parting at 10:30 a.m. Edwards said, “We

want to invite community members to join us. The elementary school is also going to join us. Anybody in the community is wel-come to come. They have asked that everybody wear blue. If they are cancer survivors they are asked to wear red.”

The route will see par-ticipants go to 8th Ave. E. and then head left towards Main St. From there they will take a right and go ad-jacent to the walking path to the stop sign. Then they will come back towards

town past the water treat-ment station along 3rd St. E., fi nishing at the curling rink to hear Fox’s speech.

Edwards said if people want to view the run, they can go to the Rotary walk-ing trail.

“We are expecting about 1,500 people to be in the run with us.”

Hanson said the confer-ence has also named the Terry Fox Foundation as its charity with all the money raised at the event going to-wards to foundation.

“We have asked each school to bring a small do-nation whether they do a fundraiser or bring some money that they have lay-ing around.”

After the run and talk with Fox, a closing cer-emony will end the three-day conference.

“The most exciting thing is watching it grow from nothing,” said Van Vaals.

Edwards said they had to have faith it would all work out. “All we had were dates really, we had to build this up.”

Terry Fox runs into its 32nd year


A legacy still runs throughout Canada and for over three decades people have been raising money for cancer research and taking part in the Terry Fox Run. The annual event, which takes place in Watrous and at the local schools, is also held nationally and in 25 countries worldwide. This year will be a special one as Fox’s brother Fred will be in Watrous speaking to the students as part of the student leadership confer-ence.

The legacy for Terry Fox began 32 years ago when he decided to run across Canada to raise money for a cure for can-cer. Fox lost his right leg to cancer when he was 18, and after running 5,373 ki-lometres over 143 days, Fox was forced to stop because cancer reappeared in his lungs.

Since that time people have been raising money for cancer research in his memory. To date, $600 mil-lion has been raised in Ter-ry Fox’s name and strides have been made in cancer research.

This year the commu-nity run in Watrous is be-ing held Sept. 16.

After being organized by the local RBC Royal

Bank since 1997, it is be-ing taken on by Watrous resident Ruth Morning-star. Residents wanting to take part in the walk start at the house, located at 507 - 4th Ave. E., with registra-tion from 1 to 2 p.m. The run then goes at 2 p.m. and Morningstar encourages people to have their pledge sheets all done up.

She was just getting the route planned out late last week and the run organiz-er said, “I have done it at Lockwood for a few years and so I thought it would be worthwhile (for it to continue).”

People can pick up pledge sheets around town or from Morningstar and then a form needs to be

signed at Morningstar’s before the run.

Signs are posted on Morningstar’s lawn, post-ers are displayed through-out the community and information is available in the coming events section of the newspaper regard-ing this year’s event.

“I would like people to take part. It is just a fun walk, you don’t have to do the whole stretch if you don’t want.”

Well over $30,000 has been raised from the area over the many years of the run. In the province last year, nearly $1 million was raised.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting - Based on the bestseller by Heidi Murkoff, this one follows fi ve couples through the ups and downs of having a baby. Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Glee’s Matthew Morri-son, Chris Rock and Elizabeth Banks head the all-star cast. (PG) Snow White & the Huntsman - This one received a lot of press lately as lead actress Kristin Stewart cheat-ed on her vampire boyfriend Robert Pattinson with the director of this movie Rupert Sanders. Yeah I did not care either but TMX and Entertainment Tonight need to fi ll that hour every day. On the other hand, the movie is a surprisingly good action fl ick with a terrifi c Charlize Theron chewing the scenery as the evil queen in a series of sure to be Oscar nominated costumes, Chris Hemsworth (Thor) plays the Huntsman and the emotionless stick herself Kristin Stewart plays Snow White. Lots of action in the Robin Hood, Braveheart vein, and defi nitely not the horror show that the Julia Robert’s Snow White fl ick, Mirror Mirror, was earlier this year. (PG) Titanic - The Oscar winning best picture of 1997 gets the Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D treatment. Worth a look again for those amazing special effects now in 3D. (PG) TV on DVD - Another batch of box sets including season fi ve of the still terrifi c Big Bang Theory, season three of the entertaining silly Vampire Diaries, season six of the Emmy winning 30 Rock and the Tom Selleck cop drama Blue Bloods gets its season two.

Business and AgricultureBusiness and AgricultureManitou Beach does tourism, service ‘best’


Like a beehive full of activity, this summer had people at the resort village of Manitou Beach buzzing with excitement. The village saw numerous visitors over the past several months and also garnered some national attention as of late.

Community development offi cer Brendan Manz said a pair of people from vacay.ca visited the village at the end of August. Manz said they came from Toronto, following up the December article in which vacay.ca named Manitou Beach as a top 12 destination to see in 2012. Working with Tourism Saskatchewan, Manz invited two people to come experience the area while on their Saskatchewan tour at the end of August.

While at the beach, they spent two nights during which they saw a movie at Jubilee Drive-In, spent some time at the spa, visited Danceland and took in the Gallery at 3rd.

“We gave them a really good experience and a good tour.” From there, they went to Saskatoon and Waskesiu. Manz said the pair are doing up a blog and article from their time here, which will appear on vacay.ca.

“I think we really impressed them. For one of them, this was their fi rst time in the province. Anyone who comes through here now is pleasantly surprised with some of the tourism product that we offer as an entire province.”

Manz said having people come through the area is vital and showcases what there is available. With the work done over the past few years, “We feel that this is the time to show off what we have to offer. It is exciting to do that and get in front. It is great to have international and national travel writers come through our community during the summer. You can’t really put a price on that publicity.”

Manz said in talking with businesses and attractions, it has been another busy summer as a whole for Watrous and Manitou Beach. The Good Sams returned to the campground during the fi rst part of September and people from across different parts of the province and country have been to the area over the past few months.

“People are saying they have never really seen the beach that full. I know on a Monday night I went down there with my family and saw probably about 100 people. That was a few weeks ago.”

Manz said they will be

crunching the numbers later this fall to see just how busy it was.

As part of the tourism plan for the local Watrous Manitou Marketing Group, a workshop was held in August. A service best event developed by the Saskatchewan Tourism Education Council was attended by around 20 people from businesses. Manz said the training meeting presented funda-mentals for people to have service go from “good to great. That is something

we are obviously focusing on as a community on how we can be better.”

Manz stressed that customer service is very important to branding. “If it is poor service they receive . . . those are things they will take away and have a negative impact on our community. But if it is a positive one, they will take that back with them

as well. Customer service is truly important to our brand in this community.”

Moving into the fall, Manz said they plan to meet as a group to look at projects ahead. “We will continue to work with highways on signage. We still understand there is a lot of need there.”

Manz said WMMG will continue to work with the town, village and rural

municipality to move the marketing group into an area that is covering off various aspects of tourism and economic development.

A few more workshops and luncheons are also being looked at in the community and a focus will continue on offering venues for conventions and meetings during the winter months.

“I want this and this and this.” So said our two-year-old granddaughter as she fl ipped through the Sears Wish Book. This is a scenario that has been played out for genera-tions. Every youngster has fl ipped the pages fi lled with toys and yearned for the latest craze. Originally known as the Sears Christmas Book, the very fi rst toys featured in the catalogue were a Miss Pigtails doll, an electric (battery powered) toy car, a Mickey Mouse watch, fruitcakes, and Lionel electric trains. That was 1933. Catalogues before that included Christmas items in the regular edition. In 1896, the catalogue featured wax candles for Christmas trees, by 1898 Christmas cards were added and in 1900 Christ-mas tree ornaments were sold. Then came Christ-mas stockings and even artifi cial Christmas trees and electric Christmas tree lights. The catalogue became an icon and even-tually a separate holiday edition was printed. In 1968, it was offi cially named The Wish Book. This was in America. In Canada, it is 60 years since

The Wish Book has been delivered to Canadian families. The fi rst edition rolled off the presses in 1953. To mark this occa-sion, Calvin McDonald, the president and CEO of Sears travelled to his hometown in Ontario to personally deliver the catalogues. In his message Mc-Donald recalled his fi rst job was delivering Sears catalogues. He took a look at that huge stack of books and remembered the excitement of people. They could not wait to rip open the plastic and begin fl ipping the pages. I am not sure how many actually took a really good look at the cover of this year’s edition but it includes images of every Wish Book that was ever published. It contains 736 pages of “wishes” - holiday gift ideas, holiday decorations and holiday fashions. Over three mil-lion copies will be distrib-uted across Canada. There is something for everyone - celebrity cos-metics (Someday by Justin Bieber is sure to be popu-lar), home decor, jewelry, electronics, fashion for everyone in the family, furnishings, appliances,

gifts for cooks, pet lovers, sports enthusiasts, out-door activities and things like espresso makers, beach towels, blankets, lamps, musical instru-ments, outdoor Christmas decorations and of course, toys. Over 1,000 toys and games that will appeal to any kid of any age. I remember my own daughter wanting a Cab-bage Patch doll (remember that fad?) and an Easy Bake Oven, both of which she received. Some of the old steadfasts are still as popular today as they once were - Barbie, Lego and radio-controlled cars. And, there is the Gifts Under section so you can keep within your budget. Today’s Wish Book does not only appear in print but also online on the web-site. There is an iPad app available in keeping with this technological era. While some things have changed, so much remains the same. Kids still sit down and pick out what they want to see under the tree the morning of Dec. 25. And, they still faithfully tell parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles what “Santa is going to bring”. And parents still say, “You can only pick one thing.”

Just Layzing Around

There’s something to be said for routine and consistency, but it can extend too far. I have my say about something that has not, yet, even happened . . . and hopefully won’t.–– an opinion column by TWM editor Nicole Lay

More changes coming?It seems strange to have reached the end of the fi rst

week of September and realize that students across the province have just wrapped up their fi rst four days of school.

I don’t know how far back into Saskatchewan’s past I would need to delve in order to fi nd the last year this prov-ince’s students, en masse, began their yearly renewal of education after the Labour Day weekend, but I can say it was not within my lifetime. Perhaps it has never been so.

As a result of legislation brought about by the Sas-katchewan Party last year, however, all divisions across the province are held to the same start and end date of the 2012/‘13 school year: Sept. 4 to June 28. It was a move welcomed by the business world. A story printed in the Star Phoenix immediately following the long weekend indicated tourism was up 40 per cent thanks to the extended summer holiday. Campgrounds and accommo-dations were bustling, and school-aged employees were able to stay on the job longer.

While students were occupied working or squeezing the last, best days out of summer, teachers were back to work for the most part by Aug. 27. A number of profes-sional development days and convention events were held ahead of the in-class portion of the school year, in order to ensure the required number of teaching days could fi t into the remainder of the year. As a secondary benefi t, Horizon School Division will still enjoy a week off in February for its traditional break thanks to some foresight and careful planning of its yearly calendar.

It remains to be seen if that freedom will continue to exist, however.

While still only a rumour, word has circulated that the Sask. Party may deepen its involvement in control over the school year, next extending its reach to the ac-tual monthly calendar - and even possibly the school day.

I support the move to keep instructional days con-tained between the Labour Day weekend and the end of June; however, I feel it would be a mistake to take away local control over fi ne-tuning the rest of the calendar.

On a regional level, life can be very different in a community in the province’s far southwest, for ex-ample, than in one north of Prince Albert. The hours and miles that separate the many educational divisions translate into cultural, social and economic factors that can infl uence a school year. The timing of Christmas and February breaks may change slightly depending on climate, typical travel patterns or the local business economy. Even deciding to place a professional develop-ment day mid-week versus on a Friday is a decision that can make sense for one division but not for another.

Tunnelling deeper into specifi cs, creating a uniform school day would really be unnecessary constrictive. Using a specifi c ‘for instance’, in Watrous the elementary school lets out for lunch at noon, while the high school students do not hear the bell until 12:08. The difference not only accommodates the elementary school’s recesses versus the high school’s short breaks, but also ensures the younger children are across the main streets and safely on the way home for lunch before the older stu-dents hop in their vehicles and branch out across town.

Both schools are out for the day at 3:15, earlier than many urban schools, which allows for time spent on school busses. It may only be 10 or 15 minutes, but when that child can get home at 4:45 instead of 5 p.m., it makes a big difference at the end of a long day. Shorter lunch breaks also mean students are not spending a full hour over a quick meal followed by what feels like an interminable wait until the next bell.

But what I see as far more important than any of these reasons is the matter of control and trust. If the government removes all control over previously local decisions, it is sending a message that it cannot trust the school divisions to do a good job themselves. I believe the Ministry of Education exists to provide the framework for the excellent provision of education. But school divisions - teachers and staff, with their hands-on knowledge and understanding of their students and of local concerns - are in the best position to make the decisions that impact the day-to-day routine.

If the rumour turns out to be fact, I hope the Sask. Party will keep its hands off the clock.


Toilet thefts are becoming commonHow ta look at

A big garden is as bad as a small one!

Neighbourly advice

according to Ed

–– a spiritual column by contributor Raymond Maher

www.accordingtoed.com

Ed, my neighbour next door, was really indiffer-ent when I wanted to tell him about our visit to The Grotto, in Portland, Ore. The more I tried to tell him about it, the less he wanted to hear. I fi nally gave up when he observed that a 62 acre garden that does not sell produce is ridiculous. Ed scoffed at hearing about a garden for outdoor sum-mer church services and a place of solitude, peace and prayer. “I bet only a few weird people like you have ever visited it,” Ed asserted. I did not reply to Ed’s as-

sertion. Instead, I offered him an apple and some plums from my garden and a nice big red tomato. Ed’s distaste for gardens, big or small, does not trouble him when offered fruit and vegetables that he likes to eat. Why it does not bother him that they are from a de-spised garden I will never understand. The only valid garden for Ed is one that provides vegetables or fruit. Gardens producing fl owers and shrubs are a waste of time and money. Do not ever tease Ed that he may end up gardening as a hobby in retirement, as his reply to you will need to be censored. The Bible speaks of a garden in Jerusalem known as the Garden of Gethsemane. It was a gar-den of olive trees where Jesus took his disciples to pray. It offered him a place of solitude, peace and prayer. It became the place of his betrayal by Judas and His arrest. It is an ever changing world, but the more it changes the more it stays the same. Another name for a grotto is a cave. In an-cient times, often caves had a spring of water in them. In the Roman era, homes were built beside the caves with a supply of water. Wealthy homes often had gardens developed by the grotto and statues of their gods and goddess were found there. They were places of beauty, solitude,

peace and prayer. The Christian world has had many grottos, shrines, and gardens through the years also. The Grotto at Portland, Ore. is famous. Father Ambrose Meyer was serving in the Arch-diocese of Portland in 1923 and found property ideal for his dream of developing a beautiful garden of pray-er. The asking price was $48,000, but Father Mayer offered all he had, which was $3,000. His offer was accepted and in the base of the 110 foot basalt cliff, a grotto or cave was carved out of the stone cliff for the altar. Above the altar was placed a full-sized replica of Michelangelo’s Pieta. In 1983, The Grotto was desig-nated a national sanctuary. Through the years, more than 10 million visitors of all faiths have marvelled at this natural garden in the huge Pacifi c coastal trees. We know that Jesus often withdrew to lone-ly places and prayed. A beautiful church or garden can encourage us to pray, but Jesus gives us the guid-ance that is most import-ant. He says, “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is un-seen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep babbling (with many words); your Father knows what you need before you ask it.”

For most people, a court-house seems like the worst place to rob and a toilet seat seems the silliest thing to steal. Yet, two thieves in Kristianblad, Sweden, took a big chance by attempting to steal several items, in-cluding coffee, tea and a toilet seat from their local courthouse. The thieves (a 38-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman) targeted the break room and then moved into the washroom. “It’s been said they had been at a hearing. They clearly thought what was said was crap,” said Mikael Persson of the Kristianstad police.” My source quipped, “That may slam the lid on that crime, but toilet thefts have become surprisingly common recently.” For example, police in Chesapeake, Va. are searching for four people who have re-portedly been stealing brass toilet handle units. In addition, police in East Aurora, N.Y. are dealing with a rash of thefts of 50 fl ush valves stolen from public bath-rooms. East Aurora Police Detective Rick Daminski told the station he suspects the valves are being stolen for scrap. “They are an older fl ush valve that can’t be re-sold. It’s aggravating; it’s just wrong and we’re going to catch them,” he said. A new study reveals that Canada is rated as more prosperous than the United States, and the average Canadian is now

richer than the average American. “We’ve done it,” moaned Argus Hamilton. “Four years ago we were the World’s Only Super-power and today we are Canada’s Mexicans.” A Georgia man is in hospital in critical condi-tion after he allegedly en-couraged his friends to set his head on fi re at a bar by dousing him with 100-proof booze. The 36-year-old man had originally phoned po-lice to report several at-tackers had lit his head on fi re, but police later learn-ed otherwise by watching surveillance video from the Allie Katz Bar in Augusta. Footage showed it took the man’s friends two attempts to ignite the Bacardi 151 on his head before he rushed around the bar with his

entire head ablaze. The man was released from hospital and police said he will not be charged because he has suffered enough. A South African man says Enzo, his 330 pound Bengal tiger, guards his home better than any dog. “Maybe,” said Derek Wilken, “but I wouldn’t want to clean its litter box.” Elisha Marquez, 18, has been offered spots in several Ivy League schools after earning a 4.5 GPA at Eagle Rock High School in Los Angeles. She chose to attend Stanford on a scholarship from the Gates Millennium Scholars program and she also landed an engineering internship at

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. But Marquez and her mother are very upset that she was not named valedictorian. That honour went to Jasmine Fernandez with a GPA of 4.55. Marquez was named salutatorian. “It’s fl awed. It’s wrong,” wailed Elisha’s mother, Carol. “All her hard work is not being recognized. All she had was straight As. Not a B, ever.” The family is considering a lawsuit over the “injustice”. Her father also chimed in. “You don’t want your kid to be a loser.” Carol went so far as to moan that Elisha’s “sleepless nights” studying were “for nothing.” A stranded jet skier walked undetected across two runways and into a terminal at

JFK International Airport in New York, breaching a $100 million security system. “Fortunately, the TSA was able to iden-tify him as a threat,” noted Jim Barach, “When they saw he was carrying a bottle with more than three ounces of liquid in it.” A six-year-old Utah boy who has had breathing problems for three years was cured when doctors found a Lego wheel that had been jammed up his nose. Barach noted, “Doctors are just glad his complaint wasn’t about constipation.” Barach is an-other great source as a comedy writer who comments on items in the news. Until next time . . . keep reading be-tween the lines . . .

Letter to the EditorDear Editor: Congratulations, being in the top 10 is a real feather in our Saskatchewan tour-ist cap. A big “mark” for Saskatchewan. My initia-tion to “Manitou” is re-membering going with our “extended” family starting when I was very young. I do not remember my fi rst time there - just seems like it was something we al-ways did. What fun it was. Our uncles (young men at that time) would say, “Hold your nose” and throw us in the pool. They would also grab our leg and turn us over in a somersault with the warning “hold your nose” of course. We also

loved watching them swing on the rings (hung on ropes out over the water). They went hand over hand, swing out and drop! We got out of the way or we would get splashed and “caught” very quickly and it was the “hold your nose” rou-tine again. The salt water was very easy to swim in. We were not afraid of the water as we found out very soon that you would not sink! Back in those days our destination was Whites Pool, which came to a tra-gic end and a lot of people were upset when it burned. It was a long time ago and I cannot remember the year.

I grew up in the Simp-son and Imperial areas and I have such wonderful lov-ing memories of the mar-vellous times we had with uncles and family who loved us. Living in Saskatoon now I still have lots of oppor-tunities to go to Manitou. I do agree the upgrades that have evolved through the years have made Manitou a recipient of this acclam-ation. The water is a sure relief for aches and pains or just for lazing around. Try it, you will like it and maybe make unforget-table memories like I have.

Well, that was a state-ment. The Saskatchewan Roughriders made up for lack of points in weeks eight and nine and threw 52 of them on the board at the Labour Day classic. The ‘Riders dominated Winni-peg from start to fi nish in a 52-0 rout. The theme from that game: Saskatchewan couldn’t do anything wrong and the Blue Bombers couldn’t do anything right.

Before I get into the NFL, here are my predic-tions for the CFL’s week 11 games:

• Another .500 week. I just can’t seem to get over that bubble. Last week I took Montreal over the Lions, the Tiger-Cats to beat Toronto, Edmonton over Calgary and the ‘Riders to beat Winnipeg. Montreal and Saskatch-ewan both got the W and Hamilton came within three points while Edmon-ton lost by one. For week 11 games, I stuck with Edmonton over Calgary, Toronto to win against Hamilton, Montreal to keep

its dominance going and the ‘Riders making it two in a row, although not by such a lopsided score.

The NFL regular season arrived last Wednesday with a dull matchup. I only say that because I don’t like the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. This year could be an interesting one fi lled with various question marks on different teams. Instead of boring you with how I think the Eagles could go all the way and how the Jets will suf-fer, I asked a few people including some of the coaching staff from the Winston Wildcats’ football team who they think will make it to the NFC and AFC championships and then the Super Bowl. Here are their picks, including mine. Again, take mine for what they are worth.

• Community development offi cer and NFL fantasy draft guy Brendan Manz. The avid ‘Rider fan tossed on his NFL cap and picked Houston over New England in the AFC Championship game. He then had Green Bay over the Giants. In the Super Bowl, Manz took Green Bay over Houston.

• Long-time Steelers fan and my football guru uncle picked New England and Baltimore in the AFC cham-pionship with the Patriots coming out on top. In the NFC, Dale went with San Francisco and New Orleans with the 49’ers to win. In the Super Bowl, Driediger picked the west coast 49’ers to take home the championship.

• Another Steelers fan and head coach of the Wildcats Barry Croshaw felt the Houston Texans would defeat Denver in the AFC championship game and the 49’ers would beat the New York Giants in the NFC champion-ship. Croshaw took the 49’ers and their tough defense to beat the Broncos for the title.

• One of the coaches of the Wildcats and Miami Dolphins fan Doug Thomas took the Houston Texans over the New England Patriots in the AFC champion-ship while picking the Saints to beat the Detroit Lions in the NFC championship. Thomas took the Texans to take home Super Bowl.

• Steve Armstrong, who also coaches the Wildcats and is a Chicago Bears fan felt the Denver Broncos would do well this year. Also in the AFC, Armstrong has Hous-ton as his dark horse. In the NFC he took the New York Giants and Green Bay to rise to the occasion. At the end, Armstrong said the Broncos are his favourite to win the whole thing.

• With a Donovan McNabb jersey in my closet and a Florida Gators Tim Tebow one beside it, I went with the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship with Peyton Manning and the Broncos coming out on top. In the NFC Championship, a healthy Vick and the Eagles face the high-fl ying Saints for the right to the Super Bowl. A disclaimer on this is if Vick is hurt, then it is Chicago but if not then Philly gets itself to the Super Bowl against Denver. I will take the Eagles in this one, of course.

There is quite the mixture of teams through all that but if you have to pick a champ, the 49’ers were picked to win twice. Denver was picked once and also chosen as runner up while a myriad of clubs were selected into the fi nal. Only time will tell whether or not any of these teams will be in the Super Bowl game come the end of the season.

His son Brad accepted the award on behalf of the family and his grandchildren Wyatt and Greta formed part of the children’s honour guard that lined the parade path of the inductees. In total, 12 individual recipients, two teams, one family and one com-munity were presented for induction. The evening wound up with a

The volleyball teams competing out of Winston High School are ready to get going on their year. The senior girls are being split into two teams while the junior squad is getting underway this week.

Senior girls volleyball started Aug. 27 with practices. The team has been getting ready for the season in the mornings from 6:30 to 8 a.m. and is anticipating a good year.

Coaches Kristin Carlson and Wendi Collins are entering two teams in the Horizon School Division league this year: a team of Gr. 10 players and a team

Teams serving up seasonof Gr. 11 and 12 players.

Seven players comprise the Gr. 10 squad while 12 are on the senior team.

Collins said with the number of girls on the teams, they decided to go with two teams for the regular season to allow everyone lots of playing time. “Then we are going to pick the strongest players from the two teams and make a provincial team. I would say our goal would be for the girls to play well together when the playoff team is formed and hopefully they will make it to provincials.”

Collins said they played their fi rst tournament over this past weekend in Loreburn and with school starting after the Labour

Day weekend, the league schedule was still being made at press time.

The Wildcats do know when their home tournament is; they will have home court advantage Oct. 26 to 27.

“We are excited about the potential and all the interest that the girls have in volleyball. Winston High School will be hosting 3A provincials next year, which is an exciting opportunity for the players as well as Winston High School.”

The junior girls crew gets rolling this week with practices, and games will start a week or two after that. The practices, held after school, are Tuesdays, and Thursdays and the

team will be competing in Horizon School Division.

Teachers Linda-Rae Schmale and Erin Osmond-Kaziuk will be coaching the girls this year. Osmond-Kaziuk said, “We are really excited to have the new Gr. 8s come out and to see some of the Gr. 9 girls come back!”

While the schedule was still being drawn up last week, Osmond-Kaziuk said they will most likely start on the week of the 24th after the student leadership conference.

The coach fi gured they would not be having a home tournament this year but set a goal to have the team learn to play together and build a foundation for the next three or four years.

■ submitted by Jill Simpson/Watrous rec director The last day of public swimming at the Watrous Swim-ming Pool was Monday, Sept. 3. We were fortunate to have enough staff to keep the pool open for the long weekend. The water chemistry was much more stable in the past few weeks. The Summer Youth Mobile Program put on by Prai-rie Central District for Sport Culture and Recreation was held in the elementary school gymnasium Thursday mornings throughout the summer. The last day for the program was Aug. 16. Though the program delivery was very well done, the participant numbers were down from previous years. Since the water break at the arena the end of July, the demolition has been completed to the point where the kitchen, lobby and storage areas are all safe environments. We are currently waiting on tenders from contractors to start the rebuild and it is expected all reconstruction will be completed by Nov. 1, with the exception of the lobby fl ooring, which will be done as soon as possible. The Watrous Winterhawks will be hosting an amateur mixed martial arts (MMA) competition at the arena Sat-

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Thursday, September 13th 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Council Chambers, Watrous Town Offi ce


Although Watrous native Melanie Deneiko watches the University of Saskatchewan Huskies football team from the sidelines this season, she is far from an ordinary spectator. The fourth-year student in the College of Kinesiology is a student trainer, tasked with helping ensure the health and safety of athletes on the fi eld.

“I attend all practices and homes games,” Deneiko said. “We are at the football club house one and a half hours before practice and about four hours before games to get the team ready. We are (at) fi eld (level) through the games and practices and stay for about one hour after to assess any injuries players may notice when taking off their equipment.”

Aiming to get her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Deneiko said in order to be a student trainer for one of the school’s teams, she was required to fi ll out a form each year of her top four choices of teams with which she would like to work. Once therapists are picked, they then try to place students with one of their top choices.

Deneiko spent last year as a trainer for the track and fi eld team but this year was able to join the crew on the turf.

“Track and fi eld was my fi rst choice last year as I wanted experience with as many different events in track and fi eld as I could. This year football was my top choice. The physiotherapists look at the knowledge you currently have, how hard you have worked in the clinic, your dedication as well as attendance to seminars to determine who, if they want to, will move to a higher-risk sport.”

Getting that experience last year on the track allowed Deneiko to get her feet wet and gear up for this year.

“I was very happy I started with that team, as there were only minor injuries to deal with. I spent that year focusing on learning from our head physiotherapist in the clinic, and attending every Sunday afternoon seminar they provided. As a track and fi eld trainer, you provide a lot of massage, and assistance with the athletes’ rehab program from the physiotherapist. With the football team, it’s preparing the whole team for practices by stretching, taping,

Keeping the Huskies healthy, from one fi eld to another

massaging or assessing injuries. Football is a very fast-paced sport, and it certainly keeps you on your toes with 90 plus guys on the team.”

And Deneiko has had to be quick on her feet as the football season kicked off Aug. 24 with an exhibition game against Guelph. Before that, players were busy getting ready with 10 days of football camp.

“You get thrown into the chaos, and just have to learn how things run as you’re doing it. On the day of our fi rst game I must admit I was both very nervous and incredibly excited to watch a football game from the line of scrimmage. With the number of injuries we had that evening, there was no time to think or ease into what we were doing. The game went by so quickly I don’t even remember watching much of it. The atmosphere in the clubhouse prior to games, and the excitement on the sidelines is an incredible thing to be part of.”

Deneiko who graduated from Winston High School in 2009 said it is not just the coaches and players who do preparation for a big game. The 20-year-

old said trainers are busy well before the fi rst whistle blows.

“We have to walk over the whole fi eld to make sure there is nothing left out that could injure someone. We set up the opposing team’s trainer with a table and an exercise bike, as well as a cooler full of ice, and we introduce our health care team to them so they know who we are if they need. We also go over hand signals, so if they are on the fi eld and need our help, they know what to do. Then we spend the rest of our pre-game time stretching, massaging, and taping whatever the athletes need to have done. After they are dressed many of the guys want spats taped, so essentially the tape they wear over their shoes is done by us. After that we stock our medical bags and fanny packs and get out there to enjoy the game.”

Four trainers make up the squad in charge of the football team. Each team has a varied number of trainers depending on the number of athletes and amount of taping that needs to be done.

“The football team would not be able to function with less than four of us; it’s certainly all hands on deck when it comes to game days.”

When the team hits the road, the trainers take turns travelling with the club. Deneiko said the team always takes two trainers and the head physiotherapist as any less would make it tough to get all the players ready to go for the game.

The training program in which Deneiko is involved is part of the college but is volunteer. While they do get a small honorarium at the end of the season for their work, Deneiko said getting the learning experience and working with knowledgeable therapists is immeasurable. “This program is never a chore, it’s always something I look forward to in my day.”

But just a handful of years ago, Deneiko had no idea what lay ahead after Gr. 12. “I had bounced through idea after idea although I always knew I was going to university and that I wanted more than one degree.”

With her dad Randy

a massage therapist in Watrous, Melanie said growing up she was always fascinated with the human body and biology was a favourite subject. “My guidance counsellor suggested Kinesiology and after a bit of research it seemed like a perfect fi t.”

She is also looking forward to graduation as it will be a special time for her and her family. “When I convocate in the spring, I will be the fi rst person in my mother’s (Bev McDade) family to have a university degree.”

Deneiko plans to convocate in the spring and apply to the colleges of physical therapy, occupational therapy and athletic therapy across western Canada.

“Ideally I would like to get accepted into the College of Physical

Therapy, and go on to earn my diploma in sport physio. It’s going to be a long road ahead of me, but I think it will all pay off in the end.”

In any case, the university student said her current program has taught her a lot and has given her a leg up on others who have not had any hands-on experience.

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be working in this program, and I can only hope that this experience will aid me in the future.”

But until spring arrives, Melanie will be busy over the next couple of months making sure the football team is in tip-top shape and ready to hit the turf on its way to what the Huskies hope will be a berth in this year’s Vanier Cup Nov. 23.

End of the trailA gazebo situated at the north end of the Rotary walking trail completes the Watrous service group’s project.

From page three: FOX AT SLCThis year, the school’s Terry Fox Run brings with it

perhaps a bit more meaning as Fox’s brother Fred will be in Watrous as the keynote speaker for the student leader-ship conference. Fox is scheduled to talk to over 700 stu-dents and 168 teachers and administrators in the morn-ing Sept. 21, immediately following the school’s run.

Beginning at 10:15 a.m. Sept. 21, students, teachers and the general public can meet at the parking lots be-tween the high school and elementary school before de-parting at 10:30 a.m.

Chair of SLC and teacher Tina Edwards said, “We

■ submitted by Caitlin Mark/Watrous VRC Our fi fth Tourist of the Week winners are Michelle Allard and Dean Taylor from Beaumont, Alta.! Michelle and Dean travelled from Alberta to Saskatchewan with Sas-katoon and Manitou Lake as their destinations. They travelled here for a vacation, birthdays and to see the water. While stay-ing in our area for fi ve days they enjoyed the drive-in, the lake and Danceland. The couple also planned on golfi ng, cycling, dancing and relaxing at the beach. Michelle and Dean heard about area from a trade show in Edmonton and the Internet. The staff at the VRC hope Michelle and Dean enjoyed their stay and come back to visit again!

Tourist of the week

want to invite community members to join us. The el-ementary school is also going to join us. Anybody in the community is welcome to come. They have asked that everybody wear blue. If they are cancer survivors they are asked to wear red.”

The route will see participants go to 8th Ave. E. and then head left towards Main Street. From there they will take a right and go adjacent to the walking path to the stop sign. Then they will come back towards town past the water treatment station along 3rd St. E., fi nish-ing at the curling rink to hear Fox’s speech.

Edwards said if people want to view the run, they can go to the Rotary walking trail.

“We are expecting about 1,500 people to be in the run with us.”

SLC student co-chair Sarah Hanson said the confer-ence has also named the Terry Fox Foundation as its charity with all the money raised at the event going to-wards to foundation.

“We have asked each school to bring a small dona-tion whether they do a fundraiser or bring some money that they have laying around.”

Cole and Gabrielle Dieno of Regina spent a week with their grandparents Alvin and Judy Dieno.

Congratulations to Kathleen Moore (nee Dieno) and Grant Haughn who were married Sept. 1 at Zelma. Rela-tives in town for the weekend at the home of Alvin and Judy Dieno were Tim and Annette Glendining, Desiree and Carson Dieno and her friend Greg all of Saskatoon, George, Cole and Gabrielle Dieno of Regina and Col-leen Spence and her daughter Nadine Eisler of Saska-

toon. They all enjoyed the weekend spent with family and friends.

Fall has arrived, the pool is closed and school is back to classes, the farmers are trying to harvest and it is time to get the garden produce in before the slugs take over.

Merna Gordon recently spent a few days in Disney-land, Calif. for a Tupperware convention. There were 1,500 people in attendance from the western half of

North America. What a noise! (I thought seven kids were too noisy!) We were in Disneyland Hotel, so only a fi ve minute walk to downtown Disney and shopping. Another fi ve minutes to the rides - ferris wheel - mild, water rafting - wet, Indiana Jones, dark and pumpy - outer space - wild and like a mine shaft - jerky! The best was the simulated ride over California coast, Golden Gate Bridge and cities. Great fun but do not go with younger people unless you are prepared to try things you would not normally do.

The last long weekend of summer is over and school has started. It is kind of sad to think fall is almost here. It was a busy weekend with lots of people camping, some going to the football game in Regina and some of us sat at home and watched the game. Ken and I were the lucky winners of a subscription to Lotto 649 from the Stars Lotto. Maybe we can win enough to buy another ticket. The Simpson Homemakers hosted the August birth-day party at Imperial’s long-term facility. Birthday cake was served to everyone after happy birthday was sung. Old time music was enjoyed by everyone. Doug and Wendy Gullacher spent the long weekend in North Battleford at their daughter Christina, Darren, Ethan and Elizabeth Garchinski. Joining them were Troy, Jolene, Claire and Grace Gullacher from Engle-feld, Aaron and Mya Gullacher from Yorkton and friend Christine. It was a very enjoyable weekend visiting and with all the grandchildren together. Sharolyn Easton and George York of Calgary were home to visit her parents Carl and Mernie Pedersen on the long weekend and to meet their great niece Alissa Nimchuk. Darcy Bergsveinson of Alameda was also here to visit his cousins Sharolyn Easton and Shaun Mooney and family, then daughter Megan came later as he was moving her to Saskatoon where she will attend U of S to become a veterinarian. Best wishes go out to Charlie Austin who had surgery last week, Vince Henry who is in Regina for treatments and Lorne Brown who is still in the hospital. Hope every-one is well soon and able to come home.

It is combining time and we all hope the weatherman hangs on to good weather for everyone.

Aug. 29, several folks enjoyed the Rory Allen concert at the Dakota Dunes.

Visiting Roger and Isabelle Langston in Watrous were her brother Alex and sister-in-law Phylus McPherson of Saskatoon. They also visited their mother Joyce (McPher-son) Dahl of Jubilee Court.

Roger and Isabelle Langston of Watrous, formerly of Plunkett, and Joyce Dahl also of Watrous visited in Nai-cam with their uncle John and aunt Merle Irvine (who is Joyce Dahl’s sister).

Last week we visited Linda Mazer and family in Saska-toon. Her daughter Erin and husband Ben Stanley arrived here from New Zealand and will be here for three weeks.

When we were in Saskatoon, we also visited Pat Cone at Parkridge Centre and we were at Graham and Cathy Turnbull’s. Also there were Reagan and Haz Ong of Re-gina.

It is something unreal watching the terrible rain storms that different places got. In the States, Hurricane Isaac made a mess of homes. They had to get out through their roofs and into boats. We just cannot imagine how lucky we are.

Dennis and Leona Credgeur attended a birthday party for Leona’s mother Laura Rewerts in Saskatoon last week-end. Also there were Tanis Crawford and her family of Swift Current.

Sunday, Aug. 26, Flower Sunday was held at Brithdur Church. After service, folks went to Morvin Cemetery and laid fl owers on the graves.

The month of August was unusual as there were two full moons. I am told it is very rare and it is called a blue moon. Next time it will appear is July 2015.

Recently visiting Ellen Farago of Watrous, formerly of Plunkett, were her grandchildren Clarise and Shane Brotzel and boys Adam and Mason of Moose Jaw. They were camping at Manitou Beach for a few days. Also visit-ing her were her daughter Gail Lawson and her daughter Tasha Wurm and son Alex of Regina.

Well, our Saskatchewan Roughriders sure did well this Labour Day weekend winning over Winnipeg 52 to 0. They sure had a large crowd in attendance. Hope they can keep up the winnings. It sure makes it interesting to watch.

School began Sept. 4. Hope everyone has a good year.Get well wishes to anyone ill and in the hospital. We

wish them a speedy recovery.Anyone having any news, please phone me at 944-4852.

Thank you kindly.

Deloris Wilson (Sutherland) • 944-4852Plunkett

Looks like the crops are being harvested. The weather seems to be hold-ing out. Congrats to the Resort Village of Manitou Beach for being recognized on a national level for top 10 beaches to visit in Can-ada. New playground equip-ment was added to the Viscount Central School playground this summer. There seems to be some very interesting play-ground attractions for the young ones to check out. I am assuming the fi rst day back was very interesting to all who have not seen it before.

Alice Mooney spent the Labour Day weekend in Vonda with Bonnie and Howie Ulmer. Sunday afternoon, Andrea, Bonnie and Alice went to the Barn Playhouse for lunch and afterwards greatly enjoyed the play Every Little Crook and Nanny. Alice returned home Monday.

Minor hockey registra-tion is coming up. Viscount School of Dance is looking for dona-tions of bottles and cans for fundraising to help the dance club. We were lucky enough to hear Saskatchewan Ex-press 2012 sing this year. It was a great performance.

ULMER,Agnes

July 1, 1917 - July 13, 2012 Agnes Ulmer celebrated her 95th birthday July 1, 2012 with her family by her side at Minoru Residence in Richmond, B.C. On that occasion she told us she was ready to go “home” - she wanted to dance with her Leo again. So, on Friday, July 13, 2012, Agnes slipped away peacefully in her sleep. She is survived by her daughter Elaine Dudlets of Richmond, grandson Jason (Marjorie) Dudlets, great grandchildren Taylor, Gabrielle and Jacey Dudlets of Cloverdale, B.C., sister Ruth Clark of Beeton, Ont., broth-er Fred Kadlec of Kelowna, B.C. and numerous nieces and nephews.

Agnes was predeceased by her husband Leo, grandson Robin Dudlets, sister Grace Hanson and brother Emil Louis Kadlec. For those so wishing, memorial donations to Simpson Cemetery and or Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.

School is now in session, all the best. Stu Jantz and Colleen held a fi re drill and barbecue Aug. 31 on the Villa deck. Attending were Mary Ann Bar-tel, Edna Meikle, Mary Schmidt and Doreen Snider from the Manor and from the Villa were Florence Boechler, Mary Bergen, Katherine Funk, Marge Bartel and Dor-othy Wolter. Doreen Snider’s guest Fern Murdock Gin-grich of Moose Jaw also attended. Visiting Mary Bergen was Don and his son Scott of Winnipeg, Man. William Harrison is here visiting his mother and sis-ter Mary Harrison in Jansen.

There is a great concern with people walking at dusk on the highway near Drake. Dark clothes are a no, no. White and yellow attire is best and always walk facing traffi c is the rule. There are seniors in Lanigan that alerted me to the fact that walkers are hard to see on the highway. Bob Funk came from Okotoks, Alta. and picked up mom Katherine Funk and drove back to Okotoks. Is it true that Jordan Eberle is making $36 million playing for the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL? Jordan once played with the Regina Pats and last winter played in Europe.

There is a new sign over the tin can bins and glass con-tainers. Please do not put plastic or garbage into these bins. The metal tops of glass containers should be put in the tin bin. The glass bin was emptied one day and when I checked later, sure enough someone threw the glass and plastic bag into the bin. The sign on the cardboard bin says, please fold the boxes. Some people cannot read as there are boxes not folded in the bins. Get well wishes, thinking of, and prayers for Mary Harrison, Edna Meikle, all doctors, nurses, caregivers, folk in hospital and lodges, members mourning the loss of a loved one and anyone at home and not feeling well.

Change of contentsRecyclers will notice that the blue bins now are labelled for all types of acceptable items except glass, which is to be put in a separate bin to protect workers’ safety. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM

triangle, we can’t accept those plastic containers. We quit recycling plastic in 2004; there wasn’t a market for plastic at that time so we discontinued it. We found that the plastic bins were being used for disposing of all items that were not recyclable.”

However, after years of customers asking for it to return, Yaworski said they are giving it another try.

“We are pleased to be able to bring the plastic back in. We are trying to keep that out of the landfi lls.”

Town administrator Orrin Redden said the new changes come as very positive news. “We have been waiting and hoping for this. This is a very positive move from REACT.”

Redden added people should take the time to read

12093DX00

the information of what can and cannot go into the bins because over the last several years, items were being put into the blue bins that should not have been there.

Yaworski said, “If people really embrace the program and they recycle all of their paper fi bre . . . and even their plastics, I think they will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of garbage they are setting out on the curb. It is going to defi nitely be reduced.”

She asks that people empty bags and containers and not bag or tie the recyclables before tossing them in the bins. The exception is plastic grocery bags, clean plastic fi lm and shredded paper. These items should be bagged and secured.

Yaworski also said people should fl atten cardboard because of the anticipation of larger amounts of recyclables coming in. “We are hoping that the public embraces the program . . . we are looking at hopefully achieving a waste conversion rate of 60 per cent or higher from the landfi lls.”

The Town of Watrous is the fi rst town being logged on to the new system. Another truck driver is going to be hired to help meet demand.

presence on highways. The RCMP said 30 people had lost lives on Saskatchewan highways in August alone this year. In 2012, 120 people perished on highways leading into the long weekend. Last year by the end of August, there were 87 fatal-ities. The police said the numbers were due mainly to alcohol involvement, driv-er inattention and speed.

RCMP were focusing on Hwy. 16 and Hwy. 1 with a secondary focus on Hwy. 7 and 11. In a release, RCMP said, “These highways are the roadways with the heav-iest traffi c volume in the province and it is important on a weekend such as the Labour Day long weekend, that we do our utmost to ensure that all motorists are re-

minded of roadway safety through a strong and consistent safety message sent via po-lice presence and enforcement activities.”

From the weekend, 660 charges were laid including two impaired drivers and a large seizure of alcohol. In separate inci-dents, two drivers were charged and had their vehicles impounded for driving in ex-cess of 165 kilometres per hour on the high-way. In total, 10 drivers had their cars im-pounded for various dangerous practices.

Meanwhile, earlier in August, damage was done at Rite Way in Imperial. Some-time between 8 p.m. Aug. 22 and 6 a.m. Aug. 23, someone entered the yard across from RiteWay and spray-painted the new equip-ment. Damage is estimated at $1,150. Any-one with information is asked to contact Watrous RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
