Sharing shoeboxes Students from Watrous Elementary School spent part of a morning earlier this month hearing about Samaritan’s Purse and how kids from other countries receive gifts that are sent to them in shoeboxes. Alyssa Luscombe who travelled to Paraguay in 2008, spent Dec. 8 to 15 there with Samaritan’s Purse. She was one of 25 youth who travelled to the South American country where they were joined by a doctor, optometrist, and translators. Luscombe called it an interesting experience and was able to provide children with gifts they normally would not have received. In many cases, some of the kids did not know what to do with the items but once they learned, were very excited to colour, put stickers on everything and wear sunglasses. Luscombe shared those stories along with a video with the students in Watrous. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM

Fighting back when winter blasts ■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou November 26, 2012

The snow has arrived, likely to stay for the remainder of winter. Blizzard-like conditions hit Watrous and much of the province during the Remembrance Day weekend as people who did not have to travel elected to stay indoors and off the roads. Various snowfall amounts were recorded in Saskatchewan and by Saturday, Nov. 10 at 4 p.m., Environment Canada said there was about 22 cm of snowfall around

the Last Mountain area. Regina had hit the 30 cm mark, Saskatoon reached 16 cm and other places like Weyburn (21 cm) and Yorkton (15 cm) also had significant snowfall. Those amounts grew as more white stuff fell. Another wave of snowfall drifted across the province late last week, adding to the accumulated total. Highways were treacherous, particularly in southern Saskatchewan where RCMP reported numerous accidents and vehicles in ditches. Crews have been busy in and around Watrous clearing snow and public works

superintendent for Watrous Dion Tarasoff said when the town receives a large amount of snow, they begin the process of cleaning up the streets and corners. In the community’s snow-clearing plan, Tarasoff said priority streets are taken care of first. Those roads include the downtown area and then 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.”

He encourages motorists who have vehicles left on the side of roads to move or park them in their driveways as soon as possible so crews can make full sweeps of the street. Because a path needs to be cleared for motorists, vehicles not moved may have a mound of snow around them temporarily. Snow ridges can also be left by the grader from overflowing snow but Tarasoff said they try to prevent that as much as possible.

When members saw kids doing safe things (riding bikes with their helmets on, walking their bike across the street, etc.) the kids were issued a ‘positive’ ticket, which gets them a free slurpee from Pip’s. The tickets are

Staying safe for the season ■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou November 26, 2012

When the holidays near, there are various activities people enjoy: putting up a Christmas tree, hanging lights, decorating the house or spending an evening in front of the fireplace. The Canada Safety Council encourages people to take safety precautions to ensure a happy season. This week is National Home Fire Safety Week and as the holiday season approaches, the Canada Safety Council has come up with various tips to be safe. Regardless of the time of year, the safety council said it is important for people to ensure smoke alarms work and that there is one on every level of the home. Crib winners at the Senior Single level homes should have alarms Centre Thursday, Nov. 15 were: near the kitchen and all sleeping areas. ladies first - Eleanor Allan, 854; Those with real or artificial Christladies second - Marie Brumwell, mas trees also need to take a few pre852; travelling - Alice Townley; cautions: men’s first - Peter Sundquist, • When purchasing a real tree, check 869; men’s second - Thelma for freshness by tapping it on the ground Sather, 859; travelling - Darryl – dropping needles indicate a dry, highlyFindlay.

tree. If they make contact with defective wiring they could become a shock hazard. There are also ways to be safe when it comes to using lights: • Use Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved lights. Place indoor and outdoor lights in their respective environments; • New or old, check light strings for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections, and throw out damaged sets. Make sure you do this before putting lights up. It is much easier to replace bulbs on the ground than on the roof; • Do not use electric light strings/sets on metallic trees. A faulty system could energize the tree and shock or electrocute anyone coming into contact; • Turn off all lights when you go to bed or leave the house. The lights could short out and start a fire; • Do not overload electrical outlets, and never string more than three sets of lights per single extension cord. People who have a fireplace in their home can also take some precautions: • Ensure the chimney flue is open and clean before you light a fire; • Remove all decorations that could be burned around the fireplace, such as stockings; • Always use a screen in front of the fireplace to protect against flying sparks; • Do not burn wrapping paper in the fireplace. A flash fire may result, as wrappings ignite suddenly and burn intensely; • Never leave the fire unattended or let it smoulder; • Do not use Christmas trees for firewood. Only use seasoned and dried wood. People also may enjoy having candles lit in their homes. The safety council also had some reminders to consider: • Never leave burning candles unattended, and always keep out of reach of children; • Keep candles in sturdy holders on a stable surface, well away from curtains, trees or any other potentially flammable objects.

Men in Black 3 - J and K are back keeping the world safe from the scum of the universe. This time out J (Will Smith) must travel back in time where a young K (played with a dead on Tommy Lee Jones impression by Josh Brolin) helps him stop an assassination attempt on the older K (Jones) in the future will change the events of the world. Usual sight gags and one liners and a couple of great cameos (Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber) add to the fun. Also in 3D on Blu-ray. (PG) Lawless - Based on a true story, Lawless tells the violent story of three brothers (Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy and Jason Clarke) who run a profitable bootlegging business and are hindered by a new marshall (a wonderful demented Oscar worthy Guy Pearce). Terrific movie, excellent acting (Pearce as always is amazing), Gary Oldman and Jessica Chastain round out the cast. Based on the book The Wettest County in the World, which was written by Matt Bondurant who is the real life grandson of the Shia LaBeouf character. (14A) ParaNorman - Animated comedy/horror about a young boy who can speak to the dead. This of course makes him an outcast until he has to save his town from an ancient curse. John Goodman, Anna Kendrick and Kodi Smit-McPhee provide the voice talent. Nicely animated also in 3D on Blu-ray. (PG) The Apparation - Ashley Green (Twilight) stars in this scary flick about a presence that haunts a young couple and feeds on their fear. Some nasty special effects and genuine scares topline this supernatural thriller. (14A) Sparkle - This remake of the 1976 movie is most notable for the last performance by the late Whitney Houston. American Idol winner Jordin Sparks stars as a young woman who joins a Supremes-like singing group in the ‘60s. Of course fame, drugs, sex and all the trappings occur in this music-laden film. Houston plays the mother of the girls and looks great considering she dies shortly after production of the film ended. Again let us hear it for “legal” prescription drugs. (PG)

Liquor regulations ‘modernized’ by province of Saskatchewan The provincial government is modernizing Saskatchewan’s liquor regulations with a focus on reducing red tape and creating new opportunities and flexibility for businesses. “Saskatchewan has many liquor regulations that haven’t undergone a comprehensive review for decades,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer said. “Our government is pleased to make these changes today and remains committed to reviewing regulations on an ongoing basis.” Included in the more than 70 changes: salons, spas and movie theatres will be eligible for special use liquor permits; restaurants will be able to offer Bring Your Own Wine (BYOW) service to customers; eligibility for off-sale endorsements will be expanded; and increased flexibility for golf courses and sports stadiums. In 2010, a government-wide review of red tape was initiated. The province’s alcohol regulations were the first to go through this process. The review of liquor regulations included feedback from stakeholders and a detailed review by Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA). Some of the changes will require legislative and regulatory amendments while others will occur through SLGA policy changes. The necessary legislative amendments are expected to be introduced during the current fall legislative session and are expected to be passed in the spring along with necessary regulatory amendments. SLGA’s policy changes will occur in the coming months. All liquor permittees will be notified of the various changes.

The Watrous Manitou will be closed for holidays from Dec. 24 to Jan. 4. The Christmas issue will be published Dec. 17 with the last issue of 2012 being published Dec. 24. Mike & Colleen Chevrier Esterhazy, SK Windows installed March 2011.

What goes up must come down Just Layzing Around

After years of general tidying and straightening up - far, far too many years - I have come to the following, rather obtuse, conclusion: housecleaning is nothing more than taking what’s upstairs, downstairs, and taking what’s downstairs, upstairs. We live in a bi-level home, and other than the laundry room in the basement, I could probably go weeks without ever needing any of the other spaces. Not that I don’t use them, mind you; it’s just that if they didn’t exist I could find space for most of those things upstairs. But since there’s a cold room and a storage room, a second bathroom and a spare bedroom, a family room and our son’s room, and a couple closets (wow - there’s more down there than I thought . . .) I do make use of the lower level. And so it begins. When we buy groceries, particularly any bulk items, I pile the extras to be taken down to the cold room. I hate cluttered food shelves, so why not make use of the extra space downstairs? Once it’s all sorted out, I make a trip or two down and back up to put away all the food. While I’m down there, I also grab a few cans of mushroom soup or corn to restock the pantry, and up I go with those items. While I am doing that, I realize I’d left a load of clothes in the dryer last weekend so I head back for those to bring them upstairs to sort, fold and put away. That necessitates another trip down to put away the basement bathroom towels and Garrett’s whites. Dumping his clothes in the family room for him to put away, I notice the laptop has made its way to the basement again, so I grab that and plug it in upstairs in its usual spot. Next to the computer is the paperwork I’ve been meaning to file, and as I work on that, I find Garrett’s latest bank statement and some of his school papers. Those get put in a pile on the little table that sits by the staircase, ostensibly for company to set a drink on, but used instead for exactly this purpose. It’s a miniature purgatory, where items hover between levels, waiting to see whether they will descend, never to be heard from again, or ascend in jubilatory celebration. The most common items found on that table are recyclables. Those items, such as the daily newspaper, are also always in a cycle of movement. First thing in the morning - descend half the stairs to the front door to retrieve the Star Phoenix and climb back up to the dining room to eat breakfast and read. Lunchtime set the paper on the little purgatory table once we’re finished scouring its pages. Later lunchtime - pick up newspaper and carry back to landing, this time to deposit into the storage baskets that are tucked into an alcove in our landing, whose purpose is to collect all recyclables until they are overflowing and trailing down the staircase, at which time we remind Garrett - for the hundredth time - to do the recycling. When he finds time for that, the baskets are carried down the rest of the stairs, along a hallway, through a door to the garage, back up a flight of stairs (because in a bi-level, nothing you want to do is ever on the same level as where you started) and dumped into the appropriate container for later deposit in the bins downtown. The empty baskets are - come on, you know the drill! - taken down the stairs, along the hall, up the stairs and replaced in the alcove from which they came. At that point I usually remind Garrett to grab one or more of the pairs of his footwear that lay in the entranceway, and carry them downstairs to the laundry room, which is where all our shoes and boots make their permanent home. Until we need them to go out on the deck, that is, and have to carry a pair back upstairs. While he is in the basement, I call down to ask him to bring up a new jug of milk from the fridge downstairs and when he arrives in the kitchen with it, I point to his pile of debris: keys, jackets, homework, books and miscellaneous bric-a-brac that always ends up on the island in our kitchen. Downstairs it goes, only to be deposited on the coffee table in the family room, I realize, but at least it’s out of my sight. Until the next time I find something upstairs that belongs downstairs, that is. I’m sure it won’t take long.

No messing with Almanac The date was Oct. 29, 2012. I received an email (just one of the many that a newsroom receives) but this time the title line caught my eye. It was from the Old Farmers Almanac. This little book of information usually hits the shelves in September but like every other form of print there is now a digital version. So I clicked on the link and here is what I found. Happenings on this date: 1998, at the age of 77 John Glenn returned to space. The author of several Western novels, Zane Grey died in 1939. Famous FBI agent Melvin Purvis was born. The Question of the Day was about sprinkling vinegar and garlic mixture over horse feed to keep the horses’ manure from smelling and breeding flies. Does it work? No one at the Almanac had ever heard of this tip before and recommended buying a commercial product to control flies. Do you know how much a rick of firewood is? Well, it turns out it is not actually a measure-

ment but a method of the way a cord of wood is stacked. A cord of wood measures 4 x 4 x 8 feet which equates to 128 cubic feet. A standard cord is piled in a 4 x 8 foot stack, which is also called a rick. A rick can also refer to any stack of material left out in the open air such as hay. Fans of the Old Farmers Almanac are well aware of the informative nature of the periodical. In fact, that is the focus founder Robert B. Thomas wanted when the first issue was published in 1792 (of course it was for the year 1793). His vision: “Our main endeavour is to be useful, but with a pleasant degree of humour.” Over recent years the periodical has become a big business expanding the content and producing many calendars, cookbooks, journals, garden guides, music CDs and many reference charts. Through it all, the focus has been on keeping things fun and practical. The editors themselves define the Almanac as: A Calendar of the

Heavens, A Calendar of the Year, A Time Capsule of the Year, A Reference Book. In a country where weather is always a hot topic this book is often used as a reference for those who want to know what winter has in store for us before it comes. Some use it faithfully as a Bible relating the forecast to all their friends. In fact, the only faux pas committed in the history of the Almanac was that of editor Roger Scaife in 1936. His biggest blunder was dropping the weather forecasts. Circulation numbers plummeted (88,000 in 1938 compared to 225,000 in 1863). Imagine the public outcry! So much so that the forecasts were reinstated the next year but Scaife was not. I know many gardeners who consult the Almanac before planting. They swear by the moon and sun and religiously wait for the frost date to pass. Yes, a truly informational book with a pleasant degree of humour. Good reading for a wintery day.

Daily plans are put on hold by a storm day Ed, my neighbour next door, just had to say, “I told you that you should shovel driveways this winter for pay.” He was all smiles yesterday as he cleared the 30 centimeters of snowfall from his drive with his new snowblower. After repeated times of shovelling during the weekend-long snowstorm, I was ready to talk to Ed about the cost of having him keep my sidewalk and driveway clear with his new snowblower. Pride and cheapness would not allow me to even think such thoughts for long.

Neighbourly advice according to Ed

–– a spiritual column by contributor Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com

After one big snowfall, it is too early to throw in the snow shovel. However, I did find this first big snowfall made me think in envy of bears which hibernate through the winter. It seems to me hibernating is better than going south. When will they come up with a pill that you take in November and you wake up in April thinner and ready to make your presence known again? I told Ed that he does not understand the stress of needing to drive to work when the snow is falling and blowing and piling up in sneering drifts on the highway. He does not need to worry about winter roads. Winter driving to work can make it seem like every storm day you face you are working a double shift, but only getting paid for one. Of course, Ed had no sympathy and accused me of always whining about something, which may have some truth to it. Jesus understood many of us have a tendency to worry not only about wintry roads but any number of things. Jesus asked, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Certainly, our lives are much more than work and our drive to and from work. The recent snowstorm that shut things down reminded me that even work schedules mean nothing to God. We

go to work or school and come home, but only when God lets us. When a road is blocked with snow or a highway closed, our plans for going get put on hold. Bad weather stops us from going where we want, when we want, and puts us on hold until conditions improve. It cramps our style. Sometimes, when we phone a business, we get put on hold. Waiting our turn for the next available service representative can be frustrating. We tend to think that time belongs to us and no one should cut into our time. Every once in a while, God reminds us that time belongs to him and if it is His time to snow, it may be our time to stay home. It is a stretch for us to allow God to have a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. We may see a time of birth as too early or late, but it is God’s time. Likewise, the time of death may not seem right to us; however, it is not our time, but God’s. We think that today and tomorrow are ours, but they belong to God. The Bible says it this way, “Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city’ . . . Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow . . . Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.’”

Hurricane Sandy caused tremendous damage on the East Coast, including downing 10 cell phone towers, rendering iPhones completely useless. “It left people without email, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter,” moaned Argus Hamilton. “Every-

body just stared into their palms for days and remembered the good times.” Jim Barach always has something to say. He is usually pretty caustic but I respect his humour. He reports used car prices are rising as 250,000 cars were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. “That’s almost as many cars that are destroyed in the Lincoln Tunnel every day during rush hour.” Barach added, “Sandy’s intense rain and storm surge shut down production of Russell Crowe’s filming of a movie about Noah. I believe that is the absolute definition of irony.” Scientists have discovered well-preserved frozen woolly mammoth fragments deep in Siberia that may contain living cells. That means that Jurassic Park is now a possibility if they can clone a prehistoric animal. Researchers discovered mammoth hair, soft tissues and bone marrow frozen in ice 100 metres underground.

who reside in Watrous are very fortunate to have exceptionally talented people driving large machines capable of removing these downfalls of snow from our streets. There are many hours of going back and

The Point After

The 100th edition of the Grey Cup was held this past weekend as Calgary represented the West and Toronto represented the East on home turf. Fitting that I went 1-1 the previous week as the remaining teams in the CFL battled it out for a chance to go to the Grey Cup. Like so many other times this year, I batted .500, taking Toronto and B.C. as my winners. This past weekend it was either a home run or a strike since I had only one pick to make. Who would it be, Toronto or Calgary? There were unique storylines leading up to the The Grey Cup 100th Grey Cup. Here are game was held over some thoughts and then I the weekend. I give will make my pick. • Both quarterbacks in you my pre-game this year’s Grey Cup were prediction with a dealt from their teams this few thoughts from past offseason and ironically made their current the NFL. teams better. Ricky Ray, –– a sports column of course, was sent from by TWM reporter Edmonton to Toronto and Daniel Bushman Hamilton brought in former Stamps’ quarterback Henry Burris and sent Kevin Glenn packing. With an injury to Drew Tate, Glenn took the Stamps essentially all the way to the final game. • Kevin Glenn finally got his shot at playing for a Grey Cup. In 2007, when his former team, Winnipeg, faced Saskatchewan in Toronto for the Grey Cup, Glenn was unable to play due to an injury the game before. Now, five years later he had that chance to suit up in the same stadium. • Toronto’s coaching staff and management had a few former Calgary faces. General manager Jim Barker and defensive coordinator Chris Jones were former Stamps’ management while the team also has some players who were with Calgary in the past. • If I knew my team would be in the final to go to the Grey Cup, I would want to play in the semifinals as opposed to sitting for a week. Looking at both games, Montreal and B.C. each finished first and ended up losing. I’m not saying that happens every time but there are lots of occasions where the team that wins in the division semifinal makes it to the Grey Cup. Keeping the foot on the gas can be better than getting that extra week of rest. • At the start of the year I said it was B.C.’s Grey Cup to lose. The team was dominant but ran into a hot Calgary team with its quarterback Kevin Glenn out to prove doubters wrong. I still think the Stamps should have started Glenn against Saskatchewan. He got the team there and should have been rewarded for his effort. He did play in the championship in the end but because of an injury. • To this past weekend’s contest and thanks to a tweet on twitter courtesy of Matt Dunigan: Toronto went 2-0 against Calgary this season and won five straight going back to 2010 against the Stamps. Calgary won the Grey Cup in Toronto back in 1992 and were 3-1 in Grey Cups played in a dome leading up to the weekend. • Calgary would have won the trophy Sunday if runningback John Cornish ran for over 100 yards and Glenn stayed composed in the pocket. • Toronto would have won Sunday if Ricky Ray played a smart game. Ray has been the hottest quarterback over the past few weeks. Continuing that would have gotten the Argos past the Stamps. That, and if Chad Owens played a strong game, I think Toronto would have won. • In stating all of that, I decided to go with Toronto as this year’s Grey Cup champions. The game could have gone either way. In my opinion, the best quarterback on the day would be the reason for which team won. My score for Sunday’s game: 31-28 Argos. Sticking with football, but south of the border, I have no idea why the Eagles have self-destructed. The team was pegged as a contender this year but after yet another lopsided loss the team will be looking much different next year. Some positives for fans of other NFL teams: • Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning has done some great things in Denver. He has that team rolling. • Houston and Atlanta keep finding ways to win. • The Saints are marching after a tough start to the season. I hope they make a push to the post-season since the Super Bowl is held in New Orleans this year.

Journey ends for senior girls as provincial play wraps up ■ Daniel Bushman The Watrous Manitou November 26, 2012 The road to a provincial title came to an end for senior girls teams across Saskatchewan. Athletes from various corners of the province were competing for a chance at claiming gold. Colonsay and Holdfast were vying for the podium in 1A action while Watrous competed in 3A. The 3A senior girls volleyball provincial event took place at LCBI in Outlook. Watrous and the host team were joined by Southey, Wynyard, Saskatoon Christian School, Waldheim, St. Walburg, Ile-a-la-Crosse, Naicam and Rosthern Jr. College. The crew of Alexa Westby, Maddison Croshaw, Morgan and Taylor Amendt, Taylor Tkachuk, Lindsay Thiessen, Hayli Riach, Lisa Toews, Jensen Lewis, Lizzy Koupantsis, Sarah Hanson and coach Wendi Collins headed to Outlook Nov. 16. The team’s first matchup was against Rosthern in the afternoon. Rosthern managed to take the opening set 25-22. The Wildcats then headed into the second set where they were down 24-20 but battled back to tie it at 24. However, Rosthern pulled ahead and won 27-25. Watrous hit the court in an afternoon contest against Southey. The game notes from the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association said Watrous dominated the opening set 25-14. However, Southey responded to even the match with a 25-18 victory. In the third set, teams battled back and forth with

Southey edging Watrous 25-23. Down 0-2 in round-robin play, the Wildcats faced host LCBI in an evening contest. Unfortunately for Watrous they would be ousted in two sets 25-16 and 25-14 by the eventual provincial champions. Watrous then played its final round-robin game Nov. 17 against St. Walburg. The Wildcats proved to be stronger than their opponents and won 25-17 and 25-19 to win their first set and finish the roundrobin with a 1-3 record. In the opening round of playoffs, Watrous met Saskatoon Christian. Saskatoon was 25-17 winners in both sets. That eliminated the Wildcats from a provincial title. Saskatoon went on to take silver, losing to LCBI in the final. Waldheim placed third, beating Southey. Coach Wendi Collins said the girls battled all weekend long and hung in there against the teams they faced. “The girls really were right there with the other teams in all the games that they played, never scoring less then 17 points against any team. The outcomes of all games could have been different with an extra point gained here or there. They played some excellent volleyball and I am really proud of how they came together as a team. It was a hard feat to play together, having only formed as a team for four weeks in total this season, as well as losing a starting player from a sprained ankle on the Wednesday night before provincial weekend.” Collins said many memories were made throughout the experience and making it to provincials

in Saskatchewan is an accomplishment in itself, starting with about 60 teams and having just 10 make it for the final weekend. Heading to next year when Watrous is host for provincial action, “Winston High School and the town of Watrous will be in for a treat next year to watch some really high-calibre high school volleyball as we host 3A provincials along with Young.” Colonsay and Holdfast were also trying to get to the provincial championship but in 1A girls action. The two teams headed to Englefeld and Watson for the championship and were joined by Rouleau, Milestone, Fox Valley, Elrose, Loreburn, Saskatoon CCA, Englefeld and Invermay. In pool A, Holdfast met Rouleau in its opening game Nov. 16. Holdfast won both sets 25-12 and 25-18. The team had a bit of a breather and took to the court again, this time against Invermay. Holdfast had no trouble as it won 25-8 and 25-16. In its third matchup, Holdfast faced Elrose. In the evening game, Holdfast took another two sets, winning 25-14 and 25-17. The team then met Saskatoon CCA in a morning game Nov. 17 to finish the round-robin. In that tilt, Holdfast lost the opening set 25-23 but then regained its momentum and won the next two 25-18 and 25-21 to finish 4-0 in its pool. Colonsay was in pool B and faced Milestone in its first contest. Colonsay got a big lead and went on to win the opening set 25-3. In the second set, they had a much tighter game but

won 25-22. The team faced Loreburn later on in the day Nov. 16. Colonsay won both its sets 25-17 to improve to 2-0. In the third matchup, Colonsay played Englefeld in the evening. According to the game notes, thanks to strong play from Nikki Dixion and Nicole Rault, the team won 25-10 and 25-9. The fourth game of the round-robin had Colonsay facing Fox Valley. Like in previous matches, Colonsay was able to win 25-22 and 25-11, securing first place in the roundrobin at 4-0. In playoffs, Holdfast met Englefeld and beat them in both sets 25-9 and 25-16 to advance. Colonsay faced Rouleau and took two sets, 25-14 and 25-10, to move on. Round two had Holdfast up against Fox Valley for the right to advance to the finals. Fox Valley got the upper hand in the first set, coming away 25-16 victors. In set two, Holdfast kept it tight and got the 29-27 win. In a third and final set, Holdfast was unable to muster enough offense and fell 25-13. That loss sent them to the bronze medal game. Colonsay, meanwhile, met Saskatoon CCA. In the opening set it was Saskatoon winning 25-20. In a must-win situation, Colonsay just could not get the victory and came up short 25-14. That set up a bronze medal game against Holdfast. The third-place match was a close one. Holdfast took the first set 25-23 but Colonsay fought right back to win the next one 25-22. In the final act, Holdfast got a bit of separation and hung on to win 25-19 to take home bronze.

Winterhawks face off against Cyclones ■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou November 26, 2012

After getting their first win of the season in Nokomis Nov. 17 by a 5-3 count, the Watrous Winterhawks had the tall task of taking on a high-powered offense from Davidson. The Cyclones are also the defending LLHL champions and were in Watrous Nov. 20. Both clubs were looking to get a jump in the opening period and Adam Slobodzian had a good chance less than two minutes in to get the home team on the board; however, he was stopped by Davidson netminder Brady Willner. Watrous took a penalty shortly after but was able to kill it off. At the 12:15 mark, the Winterhawks led in the shot count 7-5. The Cyclones began to pressure and with 9:31 left, Steve DaSilva made a nice move to try to beat goaltender Adam Bartko but the former LaRonge Ice Wolf shut the door. On the ensuing faceoff, Watrous’ Josh Elder was able to find forward Travis Eggum slipping behind the defense and Elder made a nice pass up ice to spring Eggum on a partial breakaway. Eggum cut in front of Willner and beat the goalie to make it 1-0 for Watrous. Elder and Slobodzian got the helpers. Four minutes later, Slobodzian found Eggum trailing the play and made a nice pass deep in Cyclone territory but he was unable to bury the puck. Watrous then went to the powerplay with 5:47 remaining in the first 20 minutes. The Winterhawks

needed just eight seconds as Craig Olynick found Ben Bitz who got the puck to brother Byron and he connected to make it 2-0. As time was winding down in a fast-paced first period, Davidson went on the attack and with 52 seconds remaining, Shane Schollar let a blast go from the blue-line that beat Bartko. That cut the deficit to one and that was all for the first period. Watrous led in shots 20-12. In the second period, the Winterhawks tried to regain the momentum and came out pressing. A Davidson penalty less than two minutes in added to that momentum; however, Pat Cey was sent in on a breakaway shorthanded but was robbed with a beautiful glove save by Bartko. After the penalty expired and a few shifts later, the defending LLHL champs evened the score. Carter Smith fed the puck to DaSilva who made no mistake on the team’s 14th shot of the game and it was tied 2-2. The physical play was soon turned up as both clubs found themselves in penalty trouble. The Cyclones also pushed the shot tally closer and with 9:06 left, Ben Bitz was ejected from the game for a hit on his opponent. Davidson could not connect with the manadvantage and Watrous countered with a couple of good chances late in the second. With 5:15 remaining, Slobodzian dished the puck to Byron Bitz who slid it back to Lane Manson. The captain unleashed a shot from the blueline that found its way to the back of the net to make it 3-2. Manson’s blast put the home team in front and the team later got a two-man advantage as the period

wound down. However, they were unable to capitalize and the score sat at 3-2 after two with the shots reading 31-20 for Watrous. In the third, the Winterhawks started with a powerplay but were unable to connect and were later assessed a penalty with 15:43 left. A few jaw-jolting hits were given by defenseman Woody Klassen to help kill the penalty and Bartko made another big save. Emotions began to run high as Davidson tried to get the tying goal but to no avail, thanks to a few more big saves by Bartko. With 26 seconds left and Willner pulled for the extra attacker, Cey had a great chance to even the score but could not slide it past Bartko. Watrous hung on to win in the dying seconds and improve its record to two wins and a shootout loss. The team took a 38-32 advantage in shots. The Winterhawks were in LeRoy Nov. 24 and will be busy this weekend as they are home to the Braves Dec. 1 and then in Drake Dec. 2. Drake Canucks After starting the season at 1-1, Drake headed to LeRoy Nov. 21 and was home to Lanigan Nov. 23. In the game against LeRoy, it took Drake just 19 seconds to score the game’s first goal. Brendan Dowd and Matt Rintoul combined to set up Jordan Schindel and the Canucks led 1-0. The Braves responded with 15:25 left in the first 20 minutes to even the score. That was it for the opening period and in the second, LeRoy got the jump. Just under seven minutes into the period, the Braves took the lead. Drake countered almost three minutes later as Dowd tied the game at two, getting a

Wheatland teams hit the ice ■ Daniel Bushman The Watrous Manitou November 26, 2012 With a few games already on ice in the Wheatland Hockey League, local clubs from Allan, Holdfast, Imperial, and Young/ Watrous are shooting for wins as December approaches. Allan looked to keep its three-game winning streak intact as it travelled to Naicam. After beating St. Brieux, Wakaw and Craik, the team headed to overtime against the Vikings but it was Naicam coming away 4-3 winners Nov. 16. The team was back at home against Lake Lenore Nov. 17 and like the previous contest, the Flames went to overtime but lost 5-4. Allan was in Craik Nov.

23 and gets some time off until this weekend when it travels to Imperial Nov. 30, is home to Craik Dec. 1 and faces off against Dundurn Dec. 3. Leading the way for Allan is Joel Thompson with nine points in three games. Holdfast started the year at 2-0 and was in Imperial Nov. 15 to try to make it three straight. However, the Sabres had other ideas as they won 7-2. The Trackstoppers were back in action Nov. 23 as they played Lake Lenore. Young/Watrous headed to Holdfast Nov. 24 and Holdfast will wrap up its three-game homestand Dec. 7 against Dundurn. Six players from the team led the way in points with two after three contests.

Imperial began its campaign with wins over Kinistino and Craik before dropping its third game to Holdfast Nov. 10. The team was back on the ice at home Nov. 15 when it defeated the Trackstoppers 7-2. They then welcomed Young/ Watrous to town Nov. 16 where they skated away 11-0 winners. That victory improved the team’s record to 4-1. Imperial was in Dundurn Nov. 24 and then was home to Allan Nov. 30. The team sees Aberdeen Dec. 1 and Allan Dec. 7. Clay Cooke leads the Sabres with 14 points in five games. After a close contest Nov. 9 against Holdfast, Young/Watrous played host to Naicam Nov. 11. The Comets mustered three tallies in the game but fell

The Imperial seniors group hosted a pie and coffee sale at the community centre Tuesday afternoon. The members served delicious homemade pies and tarts to guests from Imperial and surrounding communities. When the afternoon ended, the group

earned approximately $650. A donation will be made to the hospital auxiliary for their upcoming purchase of a blanket warmer for the residents. I hear through the grapevine the Imperial senior hockey team is making a great start to their season

Viscount Sandra Reid • 944-2182

Christmas is just around the corner; seems like decorations are popping up all around. I could not believe it the other day when I heard a Christmas carol on the radio. A little early I must say. I received a text message the other day from one of my six-year-old granddaughters, “I am texting you.” Then the next evening she text me again and said, “I’m back.” Youth group met in Colonsay, attracting nine students for the younger group and seven for the older group. There was no meeting for blankets this week; however, the ladies in Watrous met and completed four blankets. Viscount Central School junior SRC members this year are: Julia Morelli - president, Kyle Kirzinger - vice president, Haley Welter - secretary, Carter Breckner treasurer, Renelle Morelli, Connor Tetzlaff and Ian Koob are the sports reps. Grade reps are: Nora Jones, Karson Dieno, Ally Tetzlaff, Abby Kirzinger, Dwayne Dale and

local seasonal events. For the mingle please bring a dish of something (dessert or main dish/salad etc.) to share, as well as a donation for the food bank. Charlie Johnson informs me there will be entertainment to follow. Newcomers and old timers alike are welcome. The coming events column is also a good place to look for “happenings” to enjoy. Nov. 18, the local red hat group went to Vicki and Connie’s fundraiser concert at Danceland. This fundraiser was a celebration of their many years of singing together. Unfortunately, I missed the event but I am sure it went very well. I suspect they will still take donations for their worthy cause. I hear that following the heavy snowfall some cross-

country ski trails were groomed and could snowmobilers please avoid these. Unfortunately, the deer and moose are unable to read this request so we have to accept their cloven-hoof dents on the trails. Perhaps snowshoers can walk alongside the groomed trails wherever possible . . . please. Snowy owls have been seen, they are so beautiful. We recently saw an old photo of lime quarrying equipment near Young. Would anyone know anything about that? We are curious. Thanks. Tuesday, Nov. 20, the book club met and had a good chat about WWII Guernsey and how people cope with adversity. Season’s Greetings and a very happy 2013 to you all. Sue.

Imperial fall supper and auction The fall supper and auction held Nov. 3 sponsored by the Imperial and District Service Club was a resounding success. $19,000 raised by this event

proximately $270 for a new blanket warmer for the medical facility. One hundred and sixty seated guests were served a meal of prime rib and new potatoes with dessert provided by the play school moms. The Imperial and District Service Club would like to thank all those who participated in this event, Jenna and Jeremy

will enable the service club to distribute these funds to the community by supporting the Imperial library, the Long Lake Valley Medical Facility and the Community Centre. Donations will be made to other community events and organizations and a bursary for a graduating student from Imperial High School. Additionally, the 50/50 draw raised ap-

Along with great music they delivered important inspirational messages to students and staff. Being true to yourself, work hard and practice what you have chosen and do what you love. Dee Lowe is an artist and art teacher with a studio at Viscount Place. Since SARCAN is no longer in the building the former school has become quite a hub of art and culture. The dance studio is very established with a teacher from Saskatoon dedicated to competitive practice and top quality performances. Once again we have the piano room in full swing with a new music teacher planning wonderful opportunities of field trips and a recital at Dot’s Restaurant in the spring. The artist’s studio has been active for a number of years now and has had classes for the children from Kindergarten to high school. Dee Lowe is a full-time practicing artist and mentors Jasmine Phillips a Gr. 11 student whose work can be seen at Dot’s Restaurant. There are paintings of a number of local art-

Oct. 31, a spooky wonderful Halloween party was extended to all the ghosts and goblins. There was also a very generous customer appreciation evening, adults only, with wine and hors d’oeuvres. Dee Lowe has an ongoing show of her art at Modern Country Interiors, which is a furniture store on Broadway in Saskatoon. The StarPhoenix recently acknowledged her with an article about her work. This is part of what was reported. There are several new paintings by Dee Lowe where everything from cutlery to picture frames to doilies are mounted on the surface, then enhanced by rich faux antique overpainting. There is a classic feel to her work strengthened by strong drawing skills and surpassing the gimmicky by virtue of well controlled artistic tension.

We had quite the storm Remembrance Day weekend. The highways were icy in several places and travel was not recommended. The streets in town are cleared now. How fortunate we are. Hunting season for white tail deer started Thursday, Nov. 15. I hope everyone has a safe hunting season. Saskatchewan Roughriders had quite an exciting game but sorry to say they lost it at the end. Get well greetings to Margaret Millsap who underwent knee surgery in Saskatoon City Hospital. We wish her a speedy recovery. Visiting in Saskatoon with Pat Cone was her daughter Colleen Cone of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. Maisie and Hector Sutherland of Watrous had all their family home November long weekend. Scott Giddings of Endeavour was home visiting his parents Stan and Irene Giddings after attending a meeting in Humboldt. Tanis Crawford and children from Meadow Lake spent the long weekend with her parents Dennis and Leona Credgeur. Wendy Bishop accompanied her sister and brother-in-law to Spain for a holiday. It seems there are several men driving up and down fields around Plunkett working on a seismic exploration program, so

men out hunting have to be careful. Rikki Vickaryous and children Kaden and Lexy of Medicine Hat, Alta. were here Sunday visiting at the Shoemaker home. Also visiting at the Shoemaker home were Cheryl and Fred Schaan of Young. Tuesday, Nov. 13, Ken and I accompanied Tom and Marge Haynes to their birthday party at the Dakota Dunes Casino. It was nice seeing Bill and Louisa Stroheber there and Louis Bentley was with them with some friends. We all enjoyed birthday cake and refreshments. There are deer roaming in Plunkett. Our back yard is full of deer tracks. A coyote was recently seen running down our back alley. Household hint: to soften any cookies such as ginger snaps just put a slice of bread in the cookie jar for a couple days then remove the slice of bread. They become real nice and soft. Get well wishes to anyone ill and in the hospital. We wish them a speedy recovery.

Saturday, Nov. 17, Bert and Sharon Reeves, Mabel Strachan and Don and I attended the Nokomis craft show and then we went across to Davidson to their craft show and finished off having supper in Davidson before arriving home about 7 p.m. It was a great day. Several from here attended the hockey games Nov. 15 and 16 in Imperial. They won both games so they were happy. There was lots of fog those two nights but it did not seem to keep people at home. Sunday, Nov. 18, sister Linda Van Damme arrived at our house with a lovely roast beef supper with all the trimmings. Manny, Bonnie, Ken and Ann also joined us for supper and to watch the game. Don and I were in Imperial Tuesday, Nov. 20 to go to the seniors pie and coffee in the afternoon. This was a fundraiser to go towards a blanket warmer at the facility. The auxiliary decided to buy it and wanted to give a contribution towards that project. The pies were delicious ladies. Bill and Judy Gebhard were at Englefeld to watch Cassidy Gebhard play in the 1A senior girls provincial volleyball championship. The girls came home with bronze.

pass from Rick Toman. On the powerplay, LeRoy took the lead and that was it for scoring in the middle frame as Canucks’ netminder David Spooner and Braves’ goalie Blair Miskolczi shut the door. In the third period, Drake tied the game with the man advantage as blueliner Brad Schroeder scored from Nolan Blair and Kyle Bergen. However, two more powerplay opportunities for LeRoy gave the Braves a pair of goals and they would go up 5-3 with just over five minutes to play. An empty-net goal by the Braves ended the game as LeRoy skated away 6-3 victors on home ice. The Canucks are home to the Braves Nov. 27, in Lanigan Dec. 1 and then back at home to take on Watrous Dec. 2.

OBITUARY

CARDS OF THANKS

SHANTZ, Dorothy Jean Feb. 21, 1928 Nov. 13, 2012 Jean Shantz, aged 84, passed away at her residence in Watrous, Sask. on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 following two years of declining health. Jean was born February 21, 1928 to George and Ada (Rosenberger) Hawes on the family farm near Guernsey. She attended Waterloo School. During her youth she accepted Christ as her Saviour and this faith sustained her throughout life. Jean married Lyle on June 27, 1948. Following their marriage they farmed with Lyle’s brother Arnold and his wife Reta on the land homesteaded by Lyle’s father until retiring into Watrous in 1981. She was an excellent seamstress and designed and sewed anything from children’s clothing to wedding and graduation gowns. Despite taking only one music lesson she could play any song on the piano and organ, serving as the organist for many years in both Sharon and Philadelphia churches. Once her children were older, we saw Jean’s creative side emerge. She enjoyed horticulture and flower arranging. This started with exhibiting flower arrangements and grew into serving as a judge at many local and provincial horticultural shows. Following the death of her eldest grandson, she started painting and this became another avenue for the expression of her creative side. Watercolour was her favorite media. This led into other crafts such as making greeting cards. She enjoyed these creative pursuits until her health failed. Jean enjoyed her family and spending time with her grandchildren and in later years her great grandchildren. She was at her best when she was caring for others and spent many hours playing music for the residents of Manitou Lodge. As her health failed, she used the phone to keep in contact with family and friends across the country. Though her death creates a void in our family’s life we take comfort in the fact that she has been released from struggles with poor health and we look forward to a reunion in heaven. Left to cherish her memory and life are her husband of 64 years, Lyle Shantz; children Jan (John) Rempel and their children Tanis (Travis Malkoske), Carla Rempel (Derek Bond), Denise Rempel; Don (Pat) Shantz and their children Theresa (Michael) Ardell, Glenda (Keith) Siemens, Dian (Shawn) Boisvert; Sandy Shantz; Lucy (Howard) Toews and their children Warren (Cyndy) Toews, Brad (Angel) Toews, Devin (Laura) Toews and nine great grandchildren Kiera Rempel, Luke and Joshua Siemens, Finnley and Jett Toews, Bronc and Sunshine Toews, Hailey and Kole Boisvert; sister Ruth Hawes and sister-in-law Greta Hawes. She was predeceased by her grandson Trevor Shantz, brother Ralph Hawes, in-laws Arnold and Reta Shantz, Stanley and Fern Shantz and Kate Shantz. Visitation for family and friends was November 18 at Fotheringham’s Funeral Chapel. The celebration of Jean’s life was held at Philadelphia Mennonite Brethren Church near Watrous on November 19 conducted by Pastors Darren Holland and LaVerne Jantz. Pallbearers were Tanis Malkoske, Theresa Ardell, Glenda Siemens, Warren Toews, Carla Rempel, Brad Toews, Denise Rempel, Dian Boisvert and Devin Toews. Wayne and Deanna Lewis and Fred and Elsie Toman were guest register attendants. Memorial table attendants were Rudy and Florence Toews. Keith Siemens and Devin Toews were ushers. Eulogy was given by Ross Shantz. The children gave the tribute to mom and the tribute to grandma was given by her grandchildren. Organist was Brenda Bowman and Ruth Kornelsen was pianist. Interment followed at Sharon Church Cemetery, Guernsey, Sask. Memorial donations directed to Mennonite Central Committee or Gideons International would be appreciated. Fotheringham-McDougall Funeral Service of Watrous and Nokomis was in care of arrangements.

Grace Allen and family would like to thank all the people at the senior drop-in centre who made slices and served, etc. and made her 90th birthday party a success.

and Margaret Baczuk of Kipling. While there they celebrated her mom’s 84th birthday. A successful McVicar family reunion was held Nov. 11 in the Colonsay Community Hall. Sisters-in-law Eva, Marian and Gladys McVicar attended, as did their children and some of their grandchildren and one great grandchild. In attendance were Ron, Paula, Danielle and Renee McVicar from Brampton, Ont., Heather McVicar and Lori Clark from Penticton, B.C., Allison and Jonathan Kerr from Barrhead, Alta., Lisa and Ada Clark and Eric from Sherwood Park, Alta., Margaret and Ken Chambers from Turtleford, Ray, Lorna and Ben McVicar from Regina, Lois Clark from Prince Albert, Muriel, Ken and Dean Ziegler, Kelsey Desmarais, Kelly, Scott and Brad McVicar and Matthew Eley from Saskatoon, Chris and Brian Desmarais and Andy McVicar from Viscount, and Dan, Lois, Tim, Duncan, Jim and Gail McVicar and Donna and Warren Eley of Colonsay. Colonsay School news Well, it is with mixed emotions that I write this week’s news. I am sad volleyball is over. I am not disappointed, but I am sad. All teams had a great season. The senior boys played well at regionals with one win against Carrot River. Unfortunately, one win did not allow them to advance. The boys improved so much. Each and every player improved immensely. I cannot wait for next year. Look out for Colonsay. The senior girls had a great season. They were at provincials in Englefeld where they finished first in their pool. They lost the semifinal to CCA. Immediately after, they played Holdfast in the bronze medal game. They took it to three in a hard fought battle but lost. The girls were crying after the game and I said you should be celebrating your great season. The girls informed me they were not crying because they lost, they were crying because the season was over. I almost cried with them. They are such a classy team. It was great entertainment and fun watching. Great job to all volleyball players, coaches and parents. I am excited because guess what starts next week? Curling. We have a large amount of students who are showing interest so it will be a fun season. Brian Steckler and Darren Camm will dedicate their time to the school teams. First reporting period is over now with report cards being sent home. The good news is I did not see students or teachers crying after they went out, so good work to all. There are so many cool things happening in the classroom, but this week I want to report on the Gr. 5 and 6 science class. They are finishing their unit on matter. The highlight is to see which freezes faster: cold water or hot water. Hmm, I wonder which one will win. If you are curious for the results, you will have to wait for next week’s report or try the experiment at home. I know some of you will try it . . .

From front page:

Seeing double Stop signs have been installed and traffic has been where phase one will eventually contain up to a spotted using the extended portion of 8th Ave. E. dozen homes: six on each side of the new road. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM in Watrous.The road is part of a new development

CLEAR THE WAY

Once the roads are passable, crews bring out trucks and haul away the excess snow. Tarasoff encouraged residents 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.” Tarasoff said when crews are out cleaning up the snow, motorists and residents are strongly encouraged to stay clear and maintain a safe distance so the town can get the snow cleared away as fast as possible. Those who travel the highways during the winter months may come upon one of the more than 300 snow plows from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure as they remove snow and treat ice. The ministry reminds motorists to stay back and stay safe, giving the snow plow room to work as highways are cleared using the most effective methods for varying weather conditions. When a storm hits the province, highways are prioritized for snow removal and ice treatment based on their classification and traffic volumes. Level one - inter-provincial routes and highways with greater than 1,500 annual average daily traffic (AADT). Some of the highways fitting into level one include Hwy. 1, 7, 10, 11, 16 and 39. • Snow removal is initiated as soon as practical or after three cm of snow has accumulated on the driving lanes; • Snow is plowed from the driving lanes within six hours of the end of the storm. Additional time may be required in extreme circumstances;

• Ice is treated or assessed for treatment as soon as practical and within six hours of the end of the storm. Level two - highways with an AADT between 300 and 1,500. • Snow is plowed from the driving lanes within 12 hours of the end of the storm. Additional time may be required in extreme circumstances; • Ice is treated or assessed for treatment within 12 hours of the end of the storm; • Snow removal commences when resources are available without jeopardizing service on level one highways. Level three - highways with an AADT less than 300. • Snow removal commences as soon as resources are available without jeopardizing service on level one or level two highways and should be plowed within 24 hours of the end of the storm; • Ice is treated or assessed for treatment within 24 hours of the end of the storm. However, in very severe storms, equipment is taken off the road for the safety of the operators and any motorists driving. The ministry said highway maintenance equipment will not begin work on the road if visibility is less than 200 meters. Equipment already on the road may be removed when visibility is reduced to 100 metres. However, for at least the first part of this week around the Watrous region, it appears that motorists will not have to worry too much about any storms. The forecast was calling for mainly sunny skies with above-normal highs ranging from 1˚C all the way up to 5˚C.

The Watrous Manitou will be publishing its annual Christmas issue Monday, Dec. 17. One more regular issue will be published following that, on Dec. 24. TWM will then be closed for two weeks of holidays, re-opening Monday, Jan. 7. The next issue will be published Jan. 14.
