A plan drafted for special education students has ruffl ed some feathers and caused the Saskatchewan Party to do some explaining.

According to the Star Phoenix, late last month, the Ministry of Education set out guidelines in a draft document to encourage school divisions to hire more professionals like psychologists, speech-language pathologists, occupational ther-apists, nurses, English as a second language teachers and student support service teachers.

The apparent proposed staffi ng ratios in the document also signalled an intent to drop the total number of educational assistants in the province, something that did not sit well with many.

However, assistant deputy minister of educa-tion Darren McKee said there needs to be some clarifi cations made after the misinterpretation.

The government has been working with school divisions to implement a new model for working with special needs students. McKee said they used to have a medically-based model but that was switched so that students who did not need medical assistance could also receive funding - money that was used to help fund EAs.

The new model - a needs-based model established in 2006 - puts the focus on children and is made up of a group of people who meet with parents and talk about the needs of the child. McKee said when

deciding what is best for the child going through school, that “might mean an educational assistant is required.”

McKee said there were reports saying there were cuts planned. “That was not the point at all. The program will be driven by what

those students need. We rely on the school div-isions to tell us what the numbers will be.”

Communications manager for the Horizon School Division Ken Sogge said there are 167 full-time equivalent EAs in the division and of those, there are 4.5 FTE positions at Winston High School and 2.84 FTE positions at Watrous Elementary.

“EAs are an important part of schools as they offer support and assistance to meet the educa-tional goals of children with intensive needs. It is the intention of Horizon School Division to con-tinue to support students in the same fashion as we have, as long as we are fi scally able.”

NDP education critic Pat Atkinson was skep-tical of the whole idea of a draft intended to slash EA positions. “The government has been inun-dated with calls from parents and teachers and

are back peddling at the moment.” She said the true test will be whether or not they move forward

with it.

Decision to go dry

Feb. 28, 2010 at 10:03 a.m. Saskatoon RCMP received a report of a collision be-tween a train and a car. The accident occurred at an intersection of a grid road and the CN railway tracks six miles west of Allan, Sask., which is ap-proximately 50 km south-east of Saskatoon. The

southbound car collided with a Via Rail passenger train at this crossing. Visi-bility was clear and alcohol was not a factor. According to Cpl. Clifton Dunn of the Saskatoon RCMP, witness reports indicate the driver may not have checked be-fore crossing the tracks. While the railroad cross-

ing is marked with signs, there are no lights or gate arms. The three occupants of the car, a 44-year-old male, a 19-year-old male and a 16-year-old male all of Saskatoon died in this collision. Names of the de-ceased are being withheld at the request of the fam-ilies. Saskatoon RCMP, the CN Police and the prov-incial coroners offi ce are continuing to investigate the collision.

A lot of potentially tough but exciting challenges lie ahead for a group of local competitors as they get ready to embrace a different language, culture, intense compe-tition and a long fl ight.

Four athletes from Ju-No-Ri in Watrous will join up with provincial coach Ewan Beaton and other competi-tors from Judo Saskatchewan and board a plane Mar. 24, heading across the Atlantic Ocean to Paris, France.

The local crew consisting of Kendall McArthur, War-ren Seib, Nicole Dyck and Emily Schaan have been busy looking for support to help fund the trip and are all get-ting excited for the date to roll around.

Dyck said, “Support from the community has been go-ing pretty well. I am really excited to go. It is also nerve wracking to go across the ocean and compete. I have no idea what to expect.”

Seib agreed and said the trip is coming up fast. “It is pretty exciting and it is hard to believe right now.”

McArthur is looking forward to the experience, but the Watrous area resident had the opportunity to go to Germany a few years ago and compete. “It was my fi rst taste internationally. It was a good experience but it was really, really tough training. It will be nicer this time around because last time I did not know any of my team-mates.”

Schaan echoed the trio’s thoughts, “I am extremely excited. A little overwhelmed and scared at the same time.”

They have been gearing up for Paris by taking in some tournaments on home soil and training extra hard, for McArthur at least three times a week.

Once the group arrives Mar. 25, they will train in Paris for a day before the U17 and U20 competitions. After that they will experience more training in Paris and Orleans before getting a chance to check out the sights for two days. They will then return to Canada Apr. 5.

“I think the experience is huge,” said Dyck. “It is more of a stepping stone to see if this is what I want to do for the next part of my life.”

The Gr. 11 student at McClellan said because there is no French offered in school, she purchased a CD to help her understand the language. “It is a new culture (to me). It will be interesting.”

Schaan who is in Gr. 10 has been busy training two to three times a week. She said the competition from across the globe is really tough but is excited about the chal-lenge.

France is a global hot spot for judo and more than one million people practice the sport in the country. On top of that, athletes from around the world will be calling the area home as they take to the mats against each other.

Dyck added the competition is also a good chance to learn and utilize skills that will be used at the 2010 Youth National Championships.

As for Seib, “I think it will be a real good experience,” said the Gr. 12 competitor. “There are athletes from all over the world. It is pretty cool and kind of scary to think about. The competition is a lot bigger than the ones I have gone to before.”

Seib who thanks his coaches for putting up with him is hoping the competition will open the door to compete at more tournaments out of Canada.

McArthur is taking a different approach. “I would like to get a medal but the biggest part for me is the training. It is a really nice training facility and there will be lots of black belts there.”

All agree that the opportunity to visit and take part at the national training facility will be a phenomenal experience as will the sightseeing the group gets to do before fl ying home.

Seib said, “We get a couple of days of sightseeing and I think we get to see the Eiffel Tower. I think it will be cool.”

Schaan is looking forward to seeing the Eiffel Tower as well and also checking out, “just how things are in Paris and the way people live.”

McArthur’s trip to Europe will extend beyond the be-ginning of April. The Gr. 12 student will be catching a fl ight to Rome, Italy to join classmates for a school trip. McArthur will leave France two days before the other judo athletes and catch up with his class. When all is said and done, he will be overseas for around 20 days.

People who would like to contribute to the France ex-perience can donate separately to the athletes going or else talk to Ju-No-Ri.

Visiting with John and Deanna Hignett for school break were Charles and Lind-say Hignett and family of Lang-don, Alta. Daugh-ter-in-law Shawna Hignett and family and son Dean of Hague, Sask. also visited at thefarm. John’s cousins Ray and Theresa Orr of Bonnyville, Alta. visited Sun-day while they were staying for a while at the spa in Moose Jaw. John and Deanna trav-elled to Saskatoon at attend their grandson’s birth-day Feb. 27. Congratulations to Ken-nedy Lewis of Imperial who won the gold medal in the under 50 kg class at the Saskatchewan Winter Games held in Moose Jaw.

From front page: CLASSROOM SUPPORT MODEL

Neighbourly News by

Peg Hasein

At this time of year it is not unusual to read head-lines proclaiming the after-math of a storm:

Winter storm may cause lengthy power outagesStorm causes power outagesPower still out for 200 Sas-katchewan familiesSnow, cold and no power for some parts of Saskatchewan

It is not only prairie readers that will experience winter storms. It was only a couple of weeks ago that the entire Eastern coast was snowed in, causing the White House and U.S. government to shut down for four days. News reports showed people shovelling, getting stuck in ruts and buying generators. Even the shelves in the grocery stores were empty as their supply trucks could not deliver. Some like to romanti-cize the winter storm but for anyone who has truly experienced a blizzard it is anything but romantic, es-pecially if your power is out for an extended period. It is hard to imagine life without that staple - power. It has become such a habit. Walk into a dark room and your hand immediately reaches for the light switch. Want to heat something up? Pop it in the microwave. Itch-ing for that morning cup of coffee? Just plug in the coffee pot. Oh sure, it is okay for a night having the family cud-

dle up under blankets, maybe even lighting a fi re if you have a fi replace or wood burning stove, eating sandwiches and visiting with each other in the glow of burning candles. But try it for an extended period of time and life becomes a little more diffi cult. The federal gov-ernment has pre-pared a list to help you prepare your home for such an event. Extremely good advice on the website but . . . people being people, they do not really think it will happen to them and consequently are caught unexpectedly. Not many of my neighbours

have a back-up generator, nor do they have a stove or heater nearby. And who has a battery-powered or wind-up radio? Can you even buy them? Yes, it is a good idea to have an evacuation plan. But a winter storm that has caused a power outage has very likely deposited a huge pile of snow in your drive-way and on the streets, beg-ging the question, “Where are you going to go even if you are able to leave your house?” Nevertheless, the advice is good. Here is a quote from Andy Newman: “Remember, every storm is different. The better prepared you are, the less of an inconvenience it’s going to be.” I can understand the al-lure of a storm. There is a magic feeling watching the snow swirl, knowing that, in a sense, the world has stopped. After all, everyone is in the same situation - no one can get to work and those who were able to will

have a very quiet day. There is a still-ness - a perfect day to curl up on the couch with a good book. Dolly Parton says “storms make trees take deeper

roots.” It can be said that storms have a similar affect on people.

“This is a very impractical plan and the number of special needs students has risen . . . there needs to be support in the class-room. It could become diffi cult for a teacher.”

President of CUPE Local 4799 Marie Moore who represents Horizon was not sure how the potential cuts would be implemented in a vast school division. “We believe that EAs are an integral part. Our concern is with special needs students and how are their needs going to be met?”

Moore said if a professional has to drive across a large division like Horizon, then “how much time will they be in a classroom as-sisting?” Moore said there needs to be consistency and continuity in the students’ lives.

McKee said the divisions will work with schools and students through a personal program plan and the government has expecta-tions the divisions need to follow, such as working with parents.

“This plan should be put together from September to June. They (divisions) will determine what the supports are for special needs children. All school divisions are different and what one might need is different than another.”

Moore is hesitant and concerned about the model. “What are school boards going to do if they don’t comply to this? If they don’t comply, where are the extra funds going to come from” to afford to retain the positions, she wondered.

Sogge said, “We have reservations about the model presented and its ability to meet the needs of rural Saskatchewan schools.”

Also concerned about the proposed plan was the Saskatchewan Association for Community Living, which advocates on behalf of individuals with intellectual disabilities and is a proponent for inclusive education in the school system.

Executive director of SACL Kevin McTavish said, “The ap-proach of the government to move forward with a ‘full-service school division’ model has merit as a positive, holistic approach to many academic and non-academic needs that educators face. The idea of putting more professional services such as psychologists, occupational therapists and speech language pathologists into the school system would greatly help to address the needs of students with complex needs. There are great benefi ts to this type of system but there needs to be serious consideration given to (the) reality of implementing such a program in Saskatchewan. Issues such as recruitment and retention, under-funding and demanding case-loads would make the implementation of such a system practically impossible.”

McTavish said the government potentially reducing the amount of educational assistants “is not the kind of solution that will benefi t students. While many special needs students could benefi t from (professional) services, they are not an adequate replacement for the loss of in-classroom support, particularly in rural commun-ities.”

McTavish feels the students most likely to be affected would be those who have mild learning challenges and would gain from the help of an EA but would no longer qualify for assistance from professional services.

Atkinson said there are close to 3,500 EAs in the province and she will be eying the report of EA numbers each year. If that report does not show up, she said it means the government will be moving “full-bore ahead” with the potential cuts.

“I am going to be watching this very carefully.”

Comedic musicians to entertain in Watrous

submitted by Lety Schalm, Watrous The Horizon Winds En-semble will perform Wed-nesday at the Watrous Music Festival. Under the direction of David McDade once again, the central band has been working on new music pieces for the 2010 season. The group has 15 members from the com-munities of Liberty, Hold-fast, Imperial, Simpson, Nokomis and Watrous. They meet regularly every Wednesday after-noon and evening at Im-perial School for a com-bined practice. Michelle Amendt of Watrous is the auxiliary’s chairperson, Kim Hobman of Nokomis is the treasurer and Jo-anne Gingrich of Simpson is the secretary. The band auxiliary has planned a band tour to Edmonton May 1 to 4 with a number of performances and ex-cursions for the students.

The recently formed Gar-age Band from Winston High School will also be going along on the tour. This should provide a var-ied presenta-tion to the venues. In order to fi nance this tour the stu-dents’ fam-ilies have a number of fundraising projects that they are re-quired to take part in:

Mom’s Pantry, a spring bottle drive in Watrous

and a bat-tery recyc-ling pro-gram. The I m p e r i a l S e r v i c e Club is also p l a n n i n g an evening of music and dance with the Stone Frig-ate Band at Imper-ial Apr. 17.

The Horizon Winds has a clinic with some of those

musicians that afternoon and then will perform some musical pieces with them that night. Following their band tour, Watrous will be the location of their fi nal concert May 16 and they will perform at the Moose Jaw Festival May 19. The spring season is certainly shaping up to be a busy one for the band. They are an enthusiastic group of young musicians that music patrons would enjoy hearing. Hope you will take time to attend one or more of these per-formances.

What a great ending to a spectacular Winter Olympics in Vancouver. In fi ne form, the Canadian men’s hockey team got its revenge, defeating the United States in an over-time thriller to capture the gold medal.

Of course, who other than Sidney Crosby would score the game winner? That goal essentially ce-ments Crosby as one of the best to suit up as he captured the Stanley Cup less than a year earlier and

now has a gold medal hanging around his neck.I would not say that he is the best hockey player ever

but I would put him in the top fi ve along with Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.

For the many fans watching the game, talk about a roller-coaster of emotions. I, for one, had my pulse racing up and down and when the game came to a close, I could breathe once again.

I was not alone with sweaty palms and a rapid heart beat as millions of people lined up wherever they could to catch the game - the most watched television broad-cast ever in Canadian history.

The game had an average audience of 16.6 million viewers. That equates to about half of the population in the country watching the game and 80 per cent (26.5 mil-lion) of people at least caught a glimpse of the contest. The game was on nine different networks and in eight various languages.

In comparison, 12.3 million people watched at least part of the Canada/USA world junior fi nal that took place in Saskatoon back in January with an average audience of 5.3 million.

And back in November, 6.1 million viewers tuned in to watch the Grey Cup between Saskatchewan and Montreal with more than 14 million (43 per cent) watch-ing at least part of it.

The hockey game will rank on many levels as one of the most memorable for years to come, including giving Canada its 14th gold medal of the games, which broke records. The fi rst, Canada won more gold medals than any country during a Winter Games. The previous record was 13 held by Norway in 2002 and the Soviet Union in 1976.

It also was the most gold medals ever won on home turf by any country and twice as many gold as Canada won in Turin, the last Winter Olympics. The overall medal count of 26 put the country third and was also two more than it won four years ago.

The athletes turned it on coming down the home stretch and collected quite the haul to end the games. For incentive, the Canadian Olympic Committee re-warded Canadian athletes: those winning gold pocketed $20,000, silver medallists got $15,000 and bronze took home $10,000.

In total, the COC dished out $1.7 million to lucky athletes who got to take home a medal and some cash to boot.

A much-deserved cheque for all the hard training and hats off to all those competing, regardless of win-ning a medal or not, including over a dozen athletes representing the province who did extremely well.

Over to football and the much-anticipated feasibility study showing whether or not a multi-purpose enter-tainment facility should be completed in Regina was released last week. The building would house the ‘Rid-ers and the proposed design includes a fully-retractable roof option and capacity for 33,000 people, expandable to 45,000 for major events and up to 53,000 for major concerts.

The study concludes it is technically feasible to build the facility in downtown Regina but comes with a price tag - a big one - of $386.2 million and an additional $45 million for the retractable roof. That total includes construction, land, consultants’ fees; furniture, fi xtures and equipment.

A decision on whether to move ahead with the pro-ject is expected by late spring.

Another proposal for a stadium was released last Thursday by chiefs of 10 First Nations, incorporating a Las Vegas style hotel and casino attached to a domed stadium with retractable roof. The proposal may also be considered.

To the NHL and 31 trades took place on deadline day, Mar. 3. Within those, 55 players were moved along with 25 picks. While there were no blockbuster moves, one historic deal involved the Flames and Oilers - provin-cial rivals. The two hooked up in what is believed to be the fi rst-ever trade with each other as Steve Staios came to Calgary for a pick and defenceman Aaron Johnson.

That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the point!

Sports and Recreation6 • MONDAY, MARCH 8, 2010 THE WATROUS MANITOU

THE POINTAFT

ER


For a couple of basket-ball teams, success has come in the form of not just fi nishing at the top of the standings, but also tak-ing home some accolades.

The junior basketball squads have completed their seasons. The junior boys ended the year at the top of the standings after eight games with a 7-1 rec-ord. The team played three games Feb. 27 at district championships. The fi rst game had them up against Wynyard. Coach Doug Thomas said, “We quickly gained a 20-point advan-tage and then worked on sharpening the skills of some of our younger, more inexperienced players. The fi nal score was 39-17.”

Game two saw Kelving-ton against the Wildcats. While Kelvington closed the gap in the fourth quar-ter, Watrous continued to keep their heads up and won, advancing to the fi nal against Humboldt Collegi-

Wildcats claw up to the top

ate Institute.“The boys played their

best game of the season in the district fi nal. Our defence was intense from start to fi nish. We were able to keep them out of the key and usually only allowed them one shot per possession.”

Because of their stel-lar play, the Wildcats won 42-27 and captured the dis-trict championship.

The junior girls west league had Watrous third and falling to Muenster in their last game 39-34. The league champion was Lake Lenore as they de-feated Humboldt Collegi-ate 32-26.

After fi nishing the regular season undefeated at 6-0, the Watrous sen-ior girls basketball team was looking to continue that trend as they hosted league fi nals Mar. 3. The squad took to the court against Holdfast who de-feated Raymore in the semis. In the game Mar. 3, Watrous came away as

league champs.The Winston High

School senior boys, while not in the Horizon School Division league per se, hit the court in conference playoffs over the weekend in Eston.

The team was recently ranked sixth overall in 2A boys provincial ball after the second preliminary rankings were released.

The list shows the top 10 teams in the category and is used to help with seed-ing of conference/region-al/provincial playoffs.

In the senior boys south league, Viscount took on Lanigan in this year’s league fi nal. Vis-count fi nished the regu-lar season at 6-0; Lanigan fi nished second with a 4-2 record.


As hockey gets closer to the end of the road in provin-cial play, many local teams have been parked. However, a select few are hoping to put it into overdrive and make a fi nal push to advance to the fi nals.Midget

In midget B, Clavet took on St. Brieux. In that round the Cougars lost 8-1 and 10-3 and were eliminated from provincial play.

In midget C, Drake took on Hudson Bay and won 5-2 and 4-2 and are facing off against Arborfi eld/Zenon Park. In that fi rst game the Canucks fell 4-2.

For midget D, there are only eight teams entered in provincials with Viscount opening against Lampman/Imperial. Lampman/Imperial beat the Vipers 7-3 and 11-1 to advance to the next round against Glentworth.Bantam

In category B, Clavet received a fi rst round bye and faced Melfort. In that series, Clavet lost 4-2 and 6-2 and were eliminated.Pee Wee

Category D featured Long Lake getting the fi rst round bye and coming up against Conquest. Long Lake lost 16-0 and 16-3 and were ousted from provincial action.

This year’s Reg Preston trophy recipient went to forward Brent Sather. Ervin Gross was on hand during the Mar. 1 game to present Sather with the award. The trophy, given annually, is for someone who displays dedication, leader-ship and skill and is deemed most valuable to the team. A panel of six judges voted for the recipient.

The senior mixed and senior girls teams out of Watrous grabbed their brooms and sliders and headed off during the fi nal weekend in February in search of a district cham-pionship and a chance to compete at provincials.

Both rinks qualifi ed through pre-districts and in turn both headed to Ituna for the district event.

The senior mixed club, consisting of skip Justin McWillie, third Lindsay Martin, second Jarvis Engele and lead Jesse Van Vaals and coached by Norm McWillie, slid into their fi rst game Feb. 26 against Foam Lake and came up with a 10-5 victory. Game two pitted the Wildcats against Strasbourg. The close game had the rink from Strasbourg get an 8-5 victory, moving Watrous to the B-side. The team had one more draw Friday and they hammered Ituna 9-0 after six ends to fi nish day one at 2-1.

Saturday had the team continuing to roll as they beat Foam Lake 8-3, Wadena 8-4 and then faced Strasbourg once again, this time for the right to

claim district champ.Because of the format,

Watrous had to win twice and after six ends took the fi rst one 7-2. Game two was much closer as Strasbourg jumped out to a three-point lead after fi ve. However, Watrous got three in the sixth and two in the seventh and took the lead coming home. The rink managed to hang on to win the con-test 8-6 and was crowned district champion.

Because Watrous was the host team for provin-cials, which took place over the weekend, Strasbourg

also joined them in repre-senting Horizon School Division.

Also making the Ituna curling rink home for dis-tricts were the senior girls consisting of skip Jessica Hanson, third Janelle Re-gier, second Kora Hayter and lead Sarah Hanson, along with coach Kathy Hanson.

The fi rst draw Friday had the rink taking on the host team. Ituna was able to come away with a 7-5 vic-tory and Watrous moved to the B side of the bracket. Game two had the Wild-

cats quick out of the gates as they built up an 8-0 lead and took the win after four ends to improve to 1-1.

Saturday saw the rink play Quill Lake. In that draw, the girls came out on top 8-3.

The team continued to roll and took out Raymore in a close one 5-4, advan-cing to throw against the host team in the fi nals. However, it was not meant to be this season as Ituna took the game at home to be crowned district cham-pions, advancing to prov-incial action.

Bitter-sweet results

The journey homeThe Winston senior mixed curling team joined their junior counterparts, captur-ing a district championship. With the win,

the crew moved on to familiar surround-ings for the provincial mixed champion-ships held in Watrous. -Photo submitted

March honours womenThe Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed

the month of March as Rural Women’s Month in Sas-katchewan.

“The hard work and leadership of rural women are vital to the progress of this province,” Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud said. “Throughout our history, rural women have played a valuable role in their family

farms, local communities and the growth of our prov-ince and agriculture industry.”

“Rural women in Saskatchewan provide leadership within their families, communities and across the prov-ince,” Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris and minister responsible for the status of women said. “This month we celebrate the

past and present contribu-tions of Saskatchewan’s rural women.”

Rural Women’s Month will be observed in con-junction with events held in March by vari-ous women’s groups in communities across the province. Some of these events are organized in as-sociation with the United Nation’s International Women’s Day Mar. 8.

Meanwhile, the Mar. 8 event - International Women’s Day - is marked across the globe, some-thing fi rst observed in the early 1900s. According to International Women’s Day, the fi rst event came during a time of great ex-pansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw a jump in popula-tion growth and the rise in radical ideologies.

Since that time and the start of the new millen-nium, China, Armenia, Russia, Azerbaijan, Bela-rus, Bulgaria Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Vietnam and others recognize the day as an offi cial holiday. In some countries it has the equivalent status of Moth-er’s Day.

Feb. 23 saw nine Colon-say seniors motor to Allan for their weekly bowling. The results were: ladies high single - Joan Camp-bell, 167 and high triple, 443. Men’s high single - Herb Shier, 238 and high triple, 639.

Wednesday, Feb. 24 was crib night at the seniors centre. Ladies fi rst was Emma Yausie and second was Noella McClaren. Men’s fi rst was Don Fran-son and second was Ger-ald McClaren. Hosts for the evening were Roy and Patsy Grey.

Texas was a new des-tination for Herb and Gudrun Shier as an enjoy-

able, brief get-away from winter. We accompanied Peggy and her young sons Jordan and Tyson and were joined by Joanne early in the trip for the remainder of our 10 days in southern Texas. It was jacket weather as the state continued to experience a cold winter. We went from Houston to stay at three lo-cations: Galveston - we had a taste of Mardi Gras with parades, bands and beads, toured museums and vis-ited the NASA Space Cen-tre; Mustang Island (near Corpus Christi) - beaches and bird watching, Texas aquarium and the USS Lexington Naval Aircraft carrier were highlights and San Antonio - soaked up the ambiance of the beautiful river area with its Mexican fl avour, toured San Jose mission and the Alamo and gleaned a bit of Texas history. Because the airport was shut down in Toronto due to heavy snowfall, we were delayed on the last lap homeward bound, a 2:30 a.m. landing in Saskatoon left no doubt it was parka time again.

Manitou BeachSue Alcock

Hello everyone. What a beautiful spell of good weather we are enjoying. The Manitou Menagerie got their early spring prediction correct. Winterfest 2010, ably organized by our own recreation board, went off very well. The day kicked off at Danceland with the pancake breakfast attended by about 140 people and a variety of activities followed. In Wellington Park 60 or so folks of all ages enjoyed the fi re in a wheel rim cour-tesy of Watrous Tire and Battery. Hot dogs and burgers were available to keep up the energy burned off by the tobogganists, skiers and sledders. Kiddies had races down the hill and a DJ from Saskatoon provided music-al entertainment. Other enjoyable events in the park were Murray’s Disc golf, a scavenger hunt, blindfolded musical chairs and the start of the poker rally. Al Rid-den’s tennis ball, one of 40 balls dropped down the hill, was closest to the fi nish line and so he won the prize. Inside Danceland great entertainment was provided by the cheery “Two of Hearts” and the talented “Gar-age Band” and great vocalists Brooke Nickel, Chantelle Hayter and Josh Amendt. The silent auction raised $2,093 by auctioning 65 items donated by individuals and businesses from both Manitou Beach and Watrous for the Haitian earthquake victims. The Schwinn bike donated by Kent Clark raised $400, the antique Singer sewing machine from Kay Martin raised $100 as did a painting by Helen Herr. Other items ranged from a mitre saw to gift certifi cates and everything in between. Jim Herr, the organizer of the auction, was very pleased with the funds raised and very appre-ciative of all the donations for the auction. Laurence Emisch won the 50/50 draw and Merle Ernst won the jelly bean count and then generously added his win-nings to money raised at the silent auction. The crib tournament attracted 32 players; several Watrous Art Council members were selling some of their work and

there was also a small fl ea market. The day rounded off with a chili supper. All in all about 500 people took part in Winterfest 2010. Congratulations to the recreation board for a job well done. Not only did The Two of Hearts, aka Janet Fedor and Sharon Moffatt, entertain at Winterfest, but also performed a gig for the fi lm crew last night. A crew member’s bid for a gig at the silent auction was suc-cessful so hey presto, the duo performed for the movie moguls. Janet said they had a riot and the fi lm crew enjoyed dancing and singing to Ain’t Misbehain and other songs. It seems to me the movie folks have done a superb job of blending into the community and have excellent PR qualities. On a more serious note, Sunday afternoon eight good people: Al Ridden, Myrna Gray, Millie Strueby, Charlie Johnson, Gabriel Thomsen, Shirley Jones, Carina Thiessen and Suzanna Dinkle were all trained by Sheila Broadfoot EMT how to use the cardiac defi b-rillators located in Danceland and Manitou Springs Spa. If everyone in the village familiarized themselves with the exact location of the units then that would save valuable time in an emergency situation as you will never know when you may be sent rapidly to fetch one. These units were donated by both businesses and the Recreation Board. Communities in Bloom have now ordered the bronze plaque to commemorate the Anglican Church across from our ailing community hall. Sadly the ap-plication to Sage Hill for funds for more plaques was not successful as our project did not economically fi t into Sage Hill’s mandate. If anyone has ideas as to how we can make the application a good fi t for Sage Hill then please make yourself known to Communities in Bloom. Phew, what a busy week. Take care, Sue.

A round of disc golf, anyone?

Pastor Emily Toews had her sister Ruth Toews from Winnipeg for a visit. She stayed for a week.

Canada’s 14 gold medals ranked fi rst overall.

One day yours truly received a letter in the mail but I had trouble making out the return address. It was from Nokomis that much I could make out. I found a cheque inside from the Nokomis Senior Hockey Club. I had won twice on the pool board. What a nice surprise! That other word on the envelope was Chiefs. How come I can-not win in my hometown?

I missed Jeff Hein in the list of hockey players I named in the last news. I have not heard from him for a while.

I heard one comment on TV that they could have sold the men’s hockey tickets 18 times over. Who else heard that?

My prayers and thoughts go out to Jake and Ruth Sawatzky, Freida Friesen, Elsie Schroeder, Nikki, Belle Mullet and others.

Imagine, it was 12˚C in Stoney Rapids and La Ronge was 7˚C Mar. 2. Fort Mc-Murray was 13˚C Mar. 3.

There was a house fi re about fi ve miles north of Drake on the old Hwy. 2 and Drake Fire Department responded about 5:30 a.m. The family that was forced out of their home Tuesday are now residents of Drake and have set up household in the old North Star Country Church once owned by Marie Funk. It is along Railway Ave. The fi re truck also had a call south-

east of Drake. Both were Tuesday, Mar. 2.Sunday morning I had the misfortune

of falling in church. I missed either the second last step or the last step going down. Now I have a sore left shoulder and sporting red, purple and blue toes. That will all heal in time. Thanks to the fact that I was wearing a thick heavy coat and high men’s winter boots as it could have been much worse. For now I can walk and use my hands.

A pot and two cookies sheets were left at the community centre and are now at the Happy Shopper store. If they belong to you please pick them up otherwise you will have to purchase them from the Lani-gan Thrift Store.

Jessie and Heather Bergen of Saska-toon were seen at the sportsplex with parents Vic and Chris Bergen recently watching a hockey game. Jessie and Hea-ther have a two-month-old son named Ty.

Home after a hot/warm two-week holi-day in the Dominican Republic are Peter and Mary Jean Nicholson and Joel and Lois Ewert. Our weather in Drake has been spring-like.

The Elizabeth Friesen house situated along the Lockwood Grid #668 on the way to Watrous succumbed to fi re Mar. 2.

A bus load of parents and students from the surrounding area went to Mex-ico a short while ago and built a hall for youth, I believe. I would appreciate it if anyone in the group would give me more input in a report as to how many, were you all from Drake, how long were you gone on this mission etc. and other details of importance.

A smile is an inexpensive way to im-prove your looks.

After a bit of a hiccup in game two against Tisdale, the Watrous Winterhawks buckled down and went to work to try and wrap up their round against the Ramb-lers in game three.

Both teams hit the ice hard in front of one of the lar-ger crowds this season and they did not disappoint. The ‘Hawks got on the board fi rst courtesy of Scott Brownlee. The shifty forward made it 1-0 less than three minutes in after a pass from Patrick Ullyott and Mike Bubnick. Then 22 seconds later, Brownlee made it 2-0, this time from Bubnick and Josh Elder.

That would be all for scoring in the opening period, but the penalty box would be a frequent stop for both teams as Watrous took three to the Ramblers four.

In the middle stanza, emotions ran high and chan-ces came at both ends of the rink. However, Tisdale was the fi rst to connect on its opportunities as Kalen Wright picked up the disc in the ‘Hawks zone and spun to shoot on net, getting by Russell Monette.

The goal at 11:16 made the score 2-1 and it would hold up until 7:52 when Watrous got its two-goal lead back as Elder and Bubnick set up Brownlee for his third of the game.

Watrous then took an interference penalty shortly after and on the ensuing powerplay for the visitors, Jor-dan Spagrud slipped it past Monette’s glove side to creep to within one. The Ramblers continued to pressure and ripped one off the goal post less than 30 seconds later.

Tensions boiled over for Tisdale, though, and they were assessed a pair of penalties, giving Watrous a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:29.

The hometown crew would use that to their advan-tage and Bubnick would get open near the blue line and slap one past netminder Jamie Wutke to make it 4-2.

Tisdale then got a powerplay of its own late in the per-iod and, like the ‘Hawks, took advantage as David Kel-lington scored with 1:09 left.

Watrous had four penalties in period two while Tis-dale took fi ve. The Ramblers outshot the ‘Hawks 29-18 after 40 minutes but were down 4-3 and also had to kill most of a penalty to start the third.

Before the puck was dropped in the fi nal frame, Ervin Gross presented forward Brent Sather with the Reg Pres-ton Memorial Trophy for most valuable player. The an-nual trophy is to recognize a player who demonstrates dedication, leadership, skill and is deemed to be most valuable to the team.

After the presentation, teams got underway with the third and 50 seconds in, Ullyott made it 5-3 Watrous on the powerplay.

The ‘Hawks continued to press and added another, this time from Brownlee with 17:40 remaining. Soon after Tisdale barrelled down the ice and scored; however, the net was off and the play was whistled down.

The fl ood gates then opened and Sather connected on a backhander at the 14:50 mark to make it 7-3. Bubnick sniped from the slot on a partial breakaway with 8:49 to go and it was 8-3.

Tisdale then made it 8-4 but Watrous stormed back as Gregg Woytowich picked up the pick and blasted it into the mesh, making the fi nal 9-4.

Sweeping successThanks to some great passing plays in the offensive zone, Watrous Winterhawk forward Patrick Ullyott swats the puck past Tisdale netminder Jamie Wutke. The ‘Hawks

The ‘Hawks now play St. Walburg for the right to ad-vance to the senior A fi nal against either Balgonie or Midale.

In other provincial action, Lanigan takes on Con-quest in the north fi nal in the B division, Drake faces off against Eston after beating LeRoy in provincial C and Davidson plays Lucky Lake in the provincial D south fi nal.

In league playoffs, LeRoy and Lanigan are matched up in one semifi nal while Drake takes on Davidson in the other. Both series got underway last week.

advanced to the next round of provincial action after de-feating the Ramblers at home Mar. 1.

The community sends sympathy to Erna Kirz-inger, Garth and Darlene, Mike and Nancy and fam-ilies and all of the Kirz-inger family on the recent passing of husband, father and grandfather Alphonse Kirzinger. The library at Viscount Central School is named the ‘Alphonse Kirzinger Resource Cen-tre’ and was named to honour the man who was instrumental in the reno-vation and building of the ‘School of the Future’ as it was named in the late ‘80s. He was a determined man set out to establish a Kindergarten to Gr. 12 school in Viscount trans-forming the Viscount Cen-tral High School building that taught Gr. 9 to 12 only. This was done to keep our local children educated together here in a beauti-ful, fresh building when three local grade schools were being closed due to lower enrollments. Al-phonse was a man of the community who will be greatly missed. After a stubborn lock out, Val Udell and Chris Desmarais served 16 people breakfast at the Vis-count seniors Feb. 27. John Dale won the 50/50. Val and Chris donated their time and adaptability. Saturday, Feb. 27, Steph-anie Schlosser held a steak night fundraiser at the Vis-count Community Centre

that was well attended by many in the community.

Family and friends helped out with the delicious bar-becue steak and all the trimmings and cleanup. Stephanie is fundrais-ing to support True Hope Ukraine: A ministry to the Orphans and Hopeless

in Ukraine, as she will be there Mar. 10 to 25. Steph-anie is the oldest daughter of Dean and Val Schlosser. Please call me with news you would like print-ed or email me at [email protected]

As the 2010 Spring Session of the Saskatchewan Legisla-ture begins, I look forward to addressing the concerns of Arm River-Watrous constituents as well as the many issues at the provincial level. I would like to begin my report by offering my congratulations to all the Canadian Olympians, especially the Saskatchewan Olympians, who have just fi nished competing in Vancouver. We can be very proud of their historic achieve-ments in the 2010 Winter Olympics having won 26 medals in-cluding a record-breaking 14 gold medals. Across Canada, we can all be proud. The past couple of months have seen our Government Caucus working hard on the 2010 Provincial Budget. Premier Wall and all the government MLAs have been working hard towards keeping Saskatchewan’s economy in good shape go-ing forward. Recently the premier, current chair of the Council of the Federation, and other Canadian premiers, traveled to Wash-ington, D.C. There, they met with the National Governors Asso-ciation and senior offi cials from the White House. The premier has been working hard to keep trade relations strong. A great deal of progress was made to ensure that Saskatchewan is recognized as a leader on both the national and international stages. If you have any questions or concerns, please call my offi ce at 1-800-539-3979 or visit www.gregbrkich.ca

home Sunday night Feb. 28 from a lovely month in sunny Arizona visit-ing lots of our friends we have known for a long time and making new acquaint-ances again this year in

Golden Sun RV Resort. Our three weeks in Poza Rica, Mexico with Norman and family was not as warm as it has been some years but it was still better than the cold here! We enjoyed watching Norman’s new house being built out of brick and cement, which should be ready to live in by next summer or fall.

Several from here at-

tended the annual dinner theatre performance in Imperial and said it was a great success. Keep up the good work everyone.

THOMSON,Linda Irene

Linda Thomson’s struggle with multiple my-eloma ended Jan. 15, 2010. Linda was born April 30, 1949 in Canora, Sask. and learned to love fam-ily, animals and the land with the guidance of her parents Robert and Jean Graham and the encour-agement of her siblings Margaret, Myrtle, Verna, Bob and Reg. She attend-

ed, without enthusiasm, Chain-of-Lakes and Invermay schools but her interests were clearly elsewhere - most often in farming activities. Baling beat literature every time. Linda married Graham Thomson July 6, 1968 and together they raised four kids and roamed the country-side. Moving more than a dozen times in the fi rst 10 years of marriage meant that Linda developed an uncanny tal-ent for packing and kept track of time by remembering who was in diapers at what house. Every house was full of friends and every yard trimmed to within an inch of its life. The moves ended in 1977 when the family settled in Nokomis. Settling in Nokomis meant involvement in community activities, most of which involved the kids. Scouts, hockey, ball, school sports, ropings and driv-ing the school bus kept her on the road for most of the ‘80s but in 1987 she found her own niche. Completing her home care/special care aide course meant that she could now focus her considerable energy on caring for the most vulnerable among us with dignity and compas-sion. Her work at Silver Heights Special Care Home in Raymore, Nokomis Health Centre and home care was a source of joy and fulfi llment. It is what she was meant to do. Having children at a young age meant that Linda was able to be a young and active grandmother. A stop at the house meant photos and stories of the latest exploits of Grady, Raina, Victoria, Dillon and Shane. The only thing that made her happier than their birth was when they stayed at Grandma’s house and followed her to NHC to meet the staff or to the farm to meet a new foal (her four-legged grandchildren) or played in the yard while Grandma gardened. Linda is remembered by a grateful family including her husband Graham; children Monty, Rolly (Angie), Sherri and Shawna (Clayton); grandchildren Grady and Raina Thomson and Victoria, Dillon and Shane Sanborn; mother Jean; sisters Margaret (Bob), Myrtle (Leonard) and Verna (Walter); brother Reg; sisters-in-law Gail (Bob) and Glenelda (Ray) and a herd of beloved nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her dad Robert Graham; brother Bob Graham; parents-in-law Ida and William Thomson and brothers-in-law Steve Panchyk and Jim McCutcheon. Memorial service was held at the Nokomis Centen-nial Hall on January 18 conducted by ministers Jim Atcheson, Ruth Sinclair and Agnes Smiley. Guest book attendants were Karen Lee and Sandy Lewis. David Herauf, Stacey Oliver and Vern Bexson were ushers. Eulogy was given by Sandy Lewis and Myrtle Pilkey. Janice Cobb was pianist and special mu-sic was by Braden Pihrag, Karen McCrae, Lynn Higgins and Sherrie Gullacher. Memorial donations directed to the Nokomis Hospital Auxiliary or the Sandra Schmirler Foundation would be appreciated.

The glitz, glamour and production vehicles have packed up and the com-munities of Watrous and Manitou Beach have returned to normal. Both commun-ities, however, will soon be etched in the minds of many across the country once Hard Core Logo II fi nishes production and is released on video.

The group of up to 50 crew who spent

the past several weeks fi lming portions of the sequel departed the area, and from all indications, it left them with a good fi rst impression.

Having the crew around also allowed local movie enthusiasts to get a taste of what it is like to be in a movie after a cast-ing call was held for those interested.

The number of extras who turned up for the fi lming was greatly appreciated and during his time at Manitou Beach,

director Bruce McDonald said, “Every-body has been fantastic. People have come in and agreed to play some sup-porting parts and we had a band come in (the Harcourts) . . . they did a number for us in the movie, which was great.”

The extras from the area were involved in various scenes throughout the two weeks of fi lming and Mc-Donald was pleased that the community embraced this newfound fame.

“There are a lot of things when a fi lm comes to town that a fi lm touches; wheth-er it is people acting in it or somebody renting a grader or a ski-doo or all kinds of little things.”

McDonald said people came by to check things out and last week they headed down the road from Camp Easter Seal to one of the famous buildings at Mani-tou Beach - Danceland - where they re-corded an album for the movie.

The director who has been involved with Degrassi: The Next Generation said the area fi t the image he was trying to convey in the fi lming.

“Partly it was the story element. This is based on the fl ip side of the movie that was made about 15 years ago and one of the characters from that movie is playing

Movie director felt welcomed by localsin this movie. In that original movie he lived in Saskatchewan somewhere. When we found Danceland, that sort of cinched it for us.

“We thought, ‘What a beautiful, magic-al kind of unique place,’ and it inspired us to say, ‘Hey, what if we recorded the album in that place?’ The way sort of a guy like Dan-iel Langlois or Brian Eno who worked with U2 would record in a big Irish Castle and not in a regular record-ing studio. We thought it’s a very inspiring place for the band and the engineers and the producers so Danceland was a big part of us going, ‘Yeah, let’s shoot it here.’ ”

In the movie, the location plays as itself: “Watrous as Watrous, Manitou Beach as Manitou Beach,” although McDonald said they did change the name of Camp Easter Seal to The Eagle-

hoff.McDonald said CES was beautiful

to fi lm at, thanks to the lighting and “it makes a big difference when the people are so welcoming and so kind of curious and excited to have you.”

Having the chance to be a part of the original and now fi lming the sequel at Manitou Beach, “It is fantastic. . . that movie formed a lot of friendships.”
