■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou April 15, 2013

For over 30 years residents in Watrous have been generous in their giving. In an effort to keep the long-time canvassing go-ing for the Watrous and district combined appeal donor’s choice, president Heather Martin is hoping that some will be equally giving of their time.

Martin said they are not only searching for and encouraging people to lend a hand with canvassing but also looking for two individuals to be a part of the committee.

Martin and treasurer Doreen Rudneski are currently joined by director Doug Gregory on the committee, but are step-ping down shortly.

While Gregory is remaining, Martin said they are hoping that a pair of people would be able to help take over.

“(Part of) what they would do is organ-ize the routes. We need somebody to get the groups to canvass.”

Martin said the hours spent with the committee are not time consuming al-though the treasurer has more to do be-cause he or she is the one sending off the cheques.

“Other than that, there are maybe two meetings a year. Then in springtime - nor-mally May - is when we do the canvass. Between April and May is busier because you are getting the packages together.”

For individuals or groups looking to help out, Martin said canvassing requires

about an hour or two of one evening where they would go door-to-door collecting money for the charitable organization.

Sheets are mailed ahead of time and then volunteers collect them during the blitz night.

Around 30 to 40 people either individ-ually or in groups of three “basically go down one street and back up. Maybe three streets you would be covering on one side of the town.

“It is only a one night canvassing, two hours and it is done. It is not a big time commitment.”

Usually there are 12 routes but last year they were short three where there was no one able to go canvass. Martin said being able to have someone come canvass at

your door allows residents to donate from their homes a single time.

“They can do a one-time donation per year rather than having to send their money (multiple times). You choose the charitable organizations, then donor’s choice sends the money off to that organ-ization.”

The sheet mailed out also contains lo-cal organizations like Interlake Human Resources, Camp Easter Seal, Watrous Health Foundation, Manitou Lodge Watrous Hospital, palliative care program at the hospital, among others.

“There are members of the commun-ity that have said how good (the service) is. They can just hand their money and get a receipt. It is done right then and there.”

Identity fraud thieves do not discriminate. They will steal information from anyone, no matter what your choice in lifestyle, fi nancial means or overall situation. Public awareness and education is the key to preventing and reducing the number of reported incidents of iden-tity fraud. While it may not be possible to guarantee the safety of everyone’s identity, following some general guidelines and being aware of current trends will help minimize your risk and exposure to these incidents. What is identity fraud? Commonly referred to as identity theft, identity fraud involves the unauthorized acquisition, possession or traffi cking of personal information. The information is used to create a fi ctitious identity, assume or takeover an existing identity that may result in fi nancial gain, goods or services, or concealment of criminal activity. Changes to the Criminal Code of Canada in 2010, added specifi c charges for Identity Theft/Fraud. Thieves look for information such as a name, address, date of birth, social insurance number, mother’s maiden name, user names and passwords of online services as well as driver’s licence numbers. This information al-lows the thief to take over your fi nancial accounts, open new bank accounts, transfer bank balances, apply for loans, credit cards and other services, purchase vehicles and take luxury vacations.How is your information obtained? Identity fraud is facilitated by technology, commonly through the Internet. “Phishing” attacks are becoming more sophisticated as criminal elements gather profi les of potential victims through the use of fake Internet web-sites. Computer spywares and viruses, designed to acquire personal information are common methods of phishing. Another sophisticated avenue used is “vishing”, where technology is used to capture telephone and computer keyboard strokes. Fan out calls are placed to unsuspect-ing victims requesting banking and other personal infor-mation. These normally seem to come in the form of a text. The text may ask for personal information or there

may be a link. Once you access the link it requests infor-mation or downloads the key stroke program. A third type of scam that is becoming very prominent in the age of the smart is called “smishing”. Like phish-ing and vishing, smishing uses smart/cell phone texts to “bait” a victim into going to a URL address link attached to a text in order to obtain information on that persons phone. Once the victim goes to the website they inadver-tently upload a computer virus commonly known as a Trojan horse, which hides within a program pretending to be something it is not. Uploading a Trojan horse may allow a suspect to gain un-fettered access to the data on their phone. This is commonly called “phone hacking”. Smishing has become infamous in the media because numerous celebrities have had their phones accessed this way and personal photos and other data have ended up on the Internet for public access. Other less sophisticated, but effective, techniques in-clude stealing wallets, break and enters to homes and vehicles, picking through someone’s garbage, watching over someone’s shoulder while they enter pin informa-tion into a debit machine, redirecting/stealing mail, post-ing job offers and sending out mail or emails requesting extensive personal information. Do not forget, what may be garbage to some is a treas-ure to others. Shred, shred, shred!What can you do to protect yourself? Remove identifi cation from your wallet you are not using such as your birth certifi cate and Social Insurance Number (SIN). A SIN is a confi dential number that is only required by law for tax reporting if a customer is earning income (either employment or investment). While many companies may ask for you SIN for other purposes, you have the right to refuse under these circumstances. Keep track of your credit cards. Cancel any that you do not use and always sign them when they are received. Review your online banking or paper statement regular-ly and contact your credit card company if there are any questionable charges. Never provide personal information including your SIN, date of birth and credit card security code unless you initiate the call. Your bank will never call you and ask you for your banking information, account numbers and debit card passwords. Shred your paper mail, state-ments, credit card offers, bills and receipts before put-ting them in the recycling bin. Ensure your computer anti-virus, anti-spyware and fi re-wall programs are up-to-date, turned on and working prop-erly. Do not save passwords and sensitive banking informa-tion in a fi le titled ‘passwords’. Destroy your old computer hard drive. Information is left behind even after you delete it. Never use a public access computer to access your per-sonal or fi nancial information. Software can be installed without the knowledge of the business owner to capture key strokes. Once the suspect downloads the information, you or anyone else who previously entered will have access to your bank, email, social networking account. Avoid embedded links in an email claiming to bring you to a secure site. In some cases, the offending site can modify your browser address bar to make it look legit-imate, including the web address of the real site and a secure “https://” prefi x. If the site appears suspicious, contact the company directly by phone or entering the site address in manually. If you need to access the site, do not use the link provided, type in the web address you normally use. Access your accounts online regularly to monitor the transactions. Reviewing your credit bureau history on a regular basis is a good step to making sure your credit has not been compromised. If your information has already been used to create a fi ctitious identity, contact your local police ser-vice. Contact your credit and debit card issuers and notify your bank about the incident. Finally, contact a credit bur-eau to request a fraud alert be placed on your account.

With an aim towards working for a positive future, the town of Watrous and Saskatoon Health Region invited residents from the area to take part in a conversation café to learn about a healthy community. Mayor Ed Col-lins who spearheaded the idea along with the town and primary health services said there were about 30 local residents who attended the event, bringing with them solid ideas.

“The people there were very interested. The input we got was unbelievable.”

Collins said those at the cafe got into groups and had good dialogue, asking meaningful questions.

Manager of primary health services for Saskatoon Health Region Angela Luron said the key part of pri-mary health is making sure that all things health related within a community are developed in the community.

“Part of the intent (of the cafe) is to invite people to come together to have a conversation about what they be-lieve is important to having a healthy community.”

The event also looked at opportunities to help improve and strengthen support for a healthy community in and around Watrous and get an idea of where individuals see themselves supporting healthy living.

“Healthy communities are key in terms of supporting people to live meaningful and healthy long lives. What is important from our perspective in primary health is hearing the voice of the community in terms of what the community feels is most important about living a healthy life and about what that means and what it looks like.”

The gathering also provided an opportunity to look

at forming an advisory group where local people would come together with the health region on a regular basis to talk about good things that are happening and issues that exist.

“One of the key pieces around the advisory groups is to strike a connection between health services and the community in terms of the development and sus-tainability of different health services. It is integral to the concept of community engagement that we have a close and strong and open trusting relationship between health service providers and developers and people who are accessing these services.”

Collins said having a group meet would provide for that constant dialogue with the health region. The col-laboration is now the next step after the conversation cafe and Collins said they will soon formally set up an advisory council and go from there.

Since primary health became involved in the commu-nity in 2012, Luron said, “We found people to be incred-ibly open and welcoming and interested in the concept of primary health and looking at healthy communities at a broader level.”

Some of those concepts include health services and other things that impact health like affordable housing, early childcare development, access to affordable food, and healthy living programs. “Watrous has been very open and welcoming and very forward thinking about that aspect. We found that it has been a really good fi t to have these conversations.”

Collins said the meeting Apr. 4 was positive and with both the health region and community willing to work together in the future, it has provided something to build on.

Django Unchained - Quentin Tarantino unleashed his latest masterpiece. A terrifi c redux of the classic spa-ghetti westerns of days past, but with his usual amped up violence, humour and terrifi c dialogue (and Oscar winning screenplay). Jamie Foxx stars as the title char-acter, a recently freed slave off to fi nd his wife (Kerry Washington) who was sold to the charming and sadistic Calvin Candie (a terrifi c Leonardo DiCaprio). Django is aided by a charming German bounty hunter played by the great Christoph Waltz (also an Oscar winner for sup-porting actor, his second in a Tarantino movie). Throw in a crank but very wise house servant (the amazing Sam-uel L. Jackson), a group of moron KKK guys and enough classic actor cameos to keep us in movie geek heaven. Another feather in the cap of the greatest fi lmmaker of the last 20 years. (18A) The Collection - Those who remember the demented and gory The Collector from 2009, hang on for the bigger, bolder and much gorier sequel. The lone survivor of the fi rst movie Arkin (Josh Stewart) and a group of special ops go body part to body part with the depraved killer in a booby trapped warehouse while searching for a mis-sing girl. Nasty, scary and quite unique. It has the charm the Saw movies lost quickly. More please. (18A) Baytown Outlaws - Billy Bob Thornton stars in this violent actioner about three loose cannon brothers who help save a boy from an abusive relationship. Think The Dukes of Hazzard meets the Expendables with some From Dusk Till Dawn thrown in. Good mindless B movie entertainment. (14A) Antiviral - Strange looking movie from Brandon Cronenberg, the son of the bizarre David Cronenberg, so I assume this will be a walk on the weird side. Looks a bit sci-fi , a bit horror and a whole lot of creepy. Enjoy. (18A)

Musingsthat sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. The words “compliment”

and “complement” often cause problems. A diction-ary will show that each word, plus their deriva-tives “complimentary” and “complementary” can be used in different ways which can add to the confusion. I fi nd that the letter “i” in compliment helps me to remember which spelling to use as I think “I like to receive a compliment,” and “I received a compliment-ary ticket to the concert.” Both are spelled with an I, which also starts each sentence.

Activity continues on properties along Hwy. 2 running through Watrous and for residents and visitors driving along that chunk of road, it is not hard to notice work be-ing done. One of those projects is Watrous Motel, which is being constructed on the east end of town across the road from the elevator.

Owner of the motel Tony Lubana said the multi-level building will contain 36 units. Kitchenettes will be in-stalled into the rooms and a fi tness centre will be created for patrons. Lubana hopes the new place will be ready to open later this year.

Also owner of the Sundown Motel, Lubana wants to hire local staff to work at the new motel. He said the move to open another place for lodging came from examining the availability of rooms in the community. Lubana said there are many occasions like weddings and other gath-erings where rooms fi ll up. This new place will help to accommodate more people looking to stay in town for a

night, weekend or longer.Lubana also addressed the future of Watrous Burger

and Ice Cream Parlour, formerly called Burger Corral, which is located on the same piece of land where the mo-tel is being constructed. Lubana said it will remain there and if it needs to be relocated, it will be done so on the

same property.There is also adequate space for parking and Lubana

is excited about the future of the new accommodations.Since moving to Watrous and taking over the Sundown

Motel a few years ago, Lubana said the people in town have been “always friendly, cooperative and great.”

Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced further options to help federal community pas-ture patrons assume oper-ation of their community pasture.

“We have been 100 per cent clear from the start that patrons of these pas-tures are the priority for our government,” Stewart said. “We have been talk-ing to and meeting with patrons on a regular basis and we are working to be fl exible in order to make this transition a success.”

Patron groups will have the opportunity to either lease or purchase their pasture. If a patron group chooses to lease, the pro-

Options for patrons to assume operationsvincial government will offer a 15-year lease term.

In addition, the pro-vincial government will provide use of fi xed as-sets to patrons at no cost, provided patrons perform regular maintenance. These assets include fenc-es, dugouts and cattle han-dling facilities. Patrons also have the option to purchase these improve-ments at zero per cent interest over the term of their lease, if they wish to do so in order to gain equity.

The sale of these assets to patrons posed a signifi -cant increase in costs in some pastures and the fed-eral government has indi-

cated they will be trans-ferred to the provincial government at no cost.

Funding of up to $120,000 per patron group is also available to assist with the costs of estab-lishing legal entities, de-veloping business plans and accessing training.

Ten federal community pastures will transfer to the provincial government and to patron operation for the 2014 grazing sea-son. The remaining pas-tures will be transferred

to patron operation by the 2018 grazing season.

Community Pasture Patrons Association of Saskatchewan welcomed the decision to allow pa-trons the use of fi xed assets at no cost in com-munity pastures. CPPAS has attended 34 meetings of pasture patrons and held two conference calls

with the fi rst 10 pastures involved in the transfer. In all of these meetings, the association said pur-chasing fi xed assets was viewed as a concern. Mak-ing the assets available at no charge is a very impor-tant step towards making these pastures viable for patrons.

Chair of CPPAS Ian

McCreary said, “The de-cision on the assets re-moves an important cost. However, patrons are still being asked to pay more for the land than commu-nity pasture patrons in ei-ther Manitoba or Alberta. The federal government received this land at no cost. We need to review the numbers further.”

I have joined the revolution. Yes, it’s true - I am the proud, if somewhat hesitant, new owner of an iphone. Or is that iPhone? Iphone? IPhone? Idon’t know. iGive up. It’s white, it’s an Apple, and it’s a phone. So far, it hasn’t really changed my life, much to my chagrin. Of course, I actually would have to sit down and use it in order to experience that life-changing mo-ment to which the commercials allude (hmmm, strange that I have time to watch TV and thus see the commer-cials, but not time to play with my phone . . . ). So far all I’ve managed to accomplish is entering my contacts. Surprisingly, I have over 50; before I trans-ferred them over, one by painstaking one, I fi gured I had about 20 individuals in my electronic ‘phone book’. Con-sidering I owned my previous phone for about fi ve years, I shouldn’t be surprised there were more than that. In fact, it’s rather sad that I only have that number - sort of indicates my limited quantity of family and friends! However, in my defense, the only people I’ve entered are those with cell phones, as there’s usually no other way to look up their number. I still rely on the regular phone book to search people’s home numbers, and I generally make those calls from my landline rather than my cell. It makes me wonder why I even bother having a home phone, to be honest. Now that I’ve fi nally gotten around to carrying a cell phone with me everywhere I go (ahem, well, almost everywhere . . . except when it’s in my coat and I’m not, or it’s at home and I’m at work, or it’s in my purse and I’m not carrying), I do question the purpose of paying an extra phone bill every month. There are a few good reasons why, of course. First of all, see the above paragraph. Second, cell phone batteries do go dead, leaving one communication-less unless there is a charger and power available. Third, cell phones can be broken, lost or stolen, again leaving one without con-tact to the outside world (or You Tube, heaven help us!). I also recently heard a story about a woman who had inadvertently left behind her phone - in her purse - in a store while doing some late-night shopping. By the time she realized her mistake and returned to the store, her purse had been turned in to the RCMP. They, in turn, were trying to contact her but she had no home phone so, using the contacts in her cell phone, the police were calling her parents - late at night, in another province - to ask if they knew where their daughter was and how to get ahold of her. Of course, these poor folks had the daylights scared out of them with no way to contact their daughter. Meanwhile, she was safe and sound at home, peacefully sleeping with the knowledge that her purse was secure with the RCMP, not knowing about their attempts to track her down. All was cleared up the next day, but the hassle and heartache in the meantime was hardly worth it. I also have to admit, I don’t like the idea that people would know I only have a cell phone and presumably would have it with me at all times, thus I would be available anytime, anywhere. I am a bit of a hermit and when I am done work for the day, I consider my home to be my haven, safe from any unwanted intrusions - and that includes phone calls. If my home phone rings and I don’t answer it, I fi gure the caller just thinks I’m out of the house or unavailable. But if I only have a cell, shouldn’t I be able to answer nearly anytime? That sense of accountability to others would surely drive me up the wall. Eventually, I suppose, I would get used to ignoring unwanted calls on my cell just as I do on my home phone but I fear it would take a good chunk of joy out of my newest toy. And that’s probably the heart of it right there - I still consider my cell to be a toy and not the full-fl edged computer that it is. I don’t use it to check email as many others do; in a typical day I receive well over 100 emails at work, and I don’t have a personal account. I defi nitely don’t need to worry about sorting through that many emails twice! So my phone is for texting, and for making and taking personal calls while at work (shhh, don’t tell my boss). Eventually I’ll add some music and apps, but so far I just haven’t gotten around to the fun stuff. How-ever, if you phone my house and I don’t pick up, I just might be in the middle of a new game or great You Tube video. You know, life-changing stuff . . . iThink . . .

“OK Mortimer –– tomorrow morning, at dawn, you fl y south to Minot and tell the rest of them ‘NOT YET’ . . .!”

I have been fascinated with the exploits of the Mars Curiosity Rover and the pictures Chris Had-fi eld has taken from the International Space Sta-tion, but there is a planet very close to our hearts that needs a bit of TLC from its inhabitants. It is our very own Earth. I have to admit I am on the fence with regards to global warming, not being fully convinced the situa-tion is as dire as doomsay-ers would have us believe. On the other hand, there is something to be said for conservation. International Earth Day is coming up Apr. 22. It is the largest, most celebrated environmental event held worldwide. The stats for 2012 are impressive. More than six million Canadians joined in the event along with the other one billion people representing 170 countries around the globe all in the interest of discussing environmental issues. The day is dedicated to changing lifestyles when it comes to eating, drinking, daily care and transporta-tion. Last year the com-mitments to a healthier environment added up to a total of 97,132 days of

action. The hope of the movement is the change in habits will carry on and on. If you want to celebrate in Canada there are lots of choices ranging from large public events (Victoria’s Earth Walk with 5,000 par-ticipants or Edmonton’s Earth Day Festival with 30,000 participants or Oak-ville’s Waterways Cleanup with 2,000 participants) or events held in smaller communities and private events amongst businesses and community groups. It seems everyone is getting involved. The website will help you organize an event in your community and gives a great list of resour-ces. Act for the Planet is a 30-day action challenge you can do at home with your family. The plan started Apr. 1 and has an action to do every day in the month of April. Some actions have what is referred to as “super challenges” with an extra suggested activity. Here are some examples:• Cut your shower time in half; better yet, invest in a low-fl ow shower head.• Sift through your draw-ers at home and the offi ce and fi nd used batteries and take them off to a

recycle location.• It is spring and time for spring cleaning, so clean out your closets and base-ments. Plan an upcycling project or clothing swap party for that unwanted stuff.• Get rid of your dryer sheets as they are full of toxins. Instead keep a spray bottle of water for static cling.• Turn out the lights, the TV and the stove for one night. Have a big salad for supper and spend the evening playing cards and board games.• Turn down the thermo-stat; put on a sweater if you are cool.• If you take a lunch to work or school do not use takeout containers. Instead invest in eco-friendly lunch containers and utensils that can be reused.• Learn about ingredients in your products. Toxins may exist in many every-day products.• Use your bicycle for a week. Not only will you save on gas but also it is great exercise. There are many more suggestions aimed at saving the environment. Check out the website and give a few of them a try.

Go to the casinos - stay out of the museums

Neighbourly advice

according to Ed

–– a spiritual column by contributor Raymond Maher

www.accordingtoed.com

Ed, my neighbour next door, believes we are trav-elling to the right place. Ed heard that we are off to Deadwood, S.D. in April. He has been to Deadwood and claims he tried gam-bling at every casino in the town. That sure surprised me, since Ed is not one to waste his money. Ruby explained Ed had a huge, years-old, change jar on his dresser and he sorted out every American penny, nickel, dime and quarter in the jar. He converted his American change into paper money to feed the

slots. Ruby says he was no big spender with 35 dollar bills to gamble with. I felt relieved Ed did not gamble away much money. Ed knows I am not a gambler, yet, he was dis-gusted to hear I am plan-ning on checking out all the museums in Dead-wood. I asked Ed if he went to either the Adams or Days of 76 museums. I also asked if he went up to Mount Moriah Cem-etery to see the graves of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Poker Alice and Seth Bullock. “Didn’t have time and didn’t want to,” Ed said. “If it was the other way ‘round, do you think Wild Bill or Calamity would go to the graveyard to see my grave? Only time I go to a graveyard is for a ‘have-to-go-to’ funeral,” Ed added. I do not want to mention Ed’s comments about wast-ing time in museums. The only history Ed can toler-ate is if it comes in a movie with enough action to keep a person awake. Since history, museums and cemetery visiting had Ed all cranked up, I tried to ask if he had visited Mt. Rushmore, which is close to Deadwood. I should have known I would not get very far. “Why would I want to see four dead presidents’ faces carved in granite? If their faces are on Amer-

Kenneth Epstein, 55, of Sun City Summerlin, Nev. pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of failure to register a pis-tol, unjustifi able injury to animals, failure to have a cat fanciers licence, violat-ing the fi re code and two counts of public nuisance. The charges arose because of the state of his garbage-fi lled home, which the TV show Hoarders was itching to get into. Epstein received a suspended 358-day jail sentence and was ordered to continue therapy, keep his home open for inspec-tions and take in no pets without court approval. He is being billed for the cost of the clean-up, a fi g-ure that already exceeds $96,000 for the removal of at least 41 tons of material, including 55 cats (15 of which were dead), six refrigerators, feces, rodents, decaying foods and contaminated portions of the building. Some of the top scientists in the U.S.A. have spent the past year designing a gun that can fi re a ping pong ball at 900 mph. Brad Dickson was not impressed. “Have we cured every disease in the world, and I just didn’t hear about it?” A Tampa police offi cer and a sheriff ’s detective, both off-duty at the time were awarded the sheriff ’s offi ce’s highest honour, the Medal of Valor, for exem-plary bravery. In October, a 42-year-old naked woman was shot to death by the offi cers. The woman was holding a gun and had made threats and a fi ve-year-old

boy was inside a truck that she wanted to steal. The woman’s brother was very upset. “They shot a mental-ly disturbed, naked woman. Is that valor?” Even though a neighbour had earlier wrestled the woman down to control her, apparently the police thought the only way to subdue her was with gunfi re. A man arrested at a Wal-mart in Glendale, Ariz. is accused of trying to take about a dozen employees hostage while brandishing a fi re extinguisher. Ryan Herman, 23, attempted to pocket a pack of cigarettes. When confronted by an em-ployee, he initially left the store with the cigarettes but returned to throw his keys at an employee. He tossed a bottle of liquor through

a window before ordering employees into the break room. Police had to use a Taser to subdue him. Herman was arrested on suspicion of unlawful imprisonment, as-sault, shoplifting and aggravated assault of an offi cer. Bill Williams says a church in Phoenix is offering drive-thru prayers. “Typical! Things were going great until some per-vert drove up and asked, ‘Can I have friars with that?’” Back in 2011, Julian Pellegrino plead-ed guilty to DUI involving serious bodily injury to Mark Costa in Chicopee, Mass. and was sentenced to serve 18 months in jail. Nevertheless, Pellegrino fi led a lawsuit, demanding $1.1 million because Costa caused the accident. Ironically,

ican money, I’m interested, but not on rocks,” Ed said. I fi nd it interesting Ed and I can visit the same place and each be inter-ested in different activ-ities and concerns. People fl ocked to Deadwood in 1876 because gold was discov-ered near it. A few got rich and a few became famous, but that does not mean the rest did not matter. The past, present and future is never simply about the rich or the famous, but the truth everyone plays a part in their time and place. The rich, famous and or-dinary all end up dead in a cemetery. We like to make famous people of the past and present into heroic char-acters. We turn historic frontier places into tourist centres despite the truth they were once dangerous, often deadly and lawless. Hearts are always looking to strike it rich - in the past by fi nding gold, today at the casino. God, in His mercy, has offered us the richest strike of gold possible through faith in His son Jesus Christ. Jesus came to Jeru-salem, not to take over the town, but to lay down his innocent life for sinners. They crucifi ed him on the cross and divided up his clothes by casting lots. It is better than gold that the blood of Jesus, God’s son, purifi es us from all sin.

with his broken neck, Pellegrino was ac-tually more seriously injured than Costa. Anyway, Costa then sued back, asking for $200,000. It is of note to point out, that in 2010, while Pellegrino was awaiting dis-position of the case with Costa, he plead-ed guilty to another DUI. The oldest identical twins in the world recently turned 103 in Florida. “They spent the day in typical fashion,” ob-served Dickson, “arguing over who Mom liked better.” Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni, 65, of Plano, Texas, was heading home from her moth-er’s funeral in Ohio when she was pulled over by two police cars near Memphis. The woman was pretty sure she had not been speeding and was puzzled as to why she was stopped. The police demanded to know why she had a marijuana sticker on her bumper. She explained the sticker did not depict a seven-leaf marijuana plant, but rather the fi ve-leaf Buckeye plant. The Buckeye Leaf has been the symbol of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team since 1967. The police thought the sticker meant she was probably carrying drugs and ordered her to remove the sticker. The woman refused that order. “Three Manchester students have set up a website where they cook vegetar-ian food in the nude,” noted RJ Currie. “I tried it and my wife lost her appetite.” Apparently, it is now illegal in Colo-rado to wear aluminum underwear. “This is serious business,” insists state senator Stephanie Takis who sponsored the bill. “We have laws against using crowbars as theft devices, but if you were lining your underwear with aluminum foil, that was not a crime.” Huh? In a technique totally unknown to me, shoplifters have discov-ered that the so-called ‘iron pants’ allow them to sneak stolen items past anti-theft

scanners at store doors. The new law also allows store security offi cers to detain people who “crackle when they walk,” (that trick knee of mine could get me into trouble!) but provides an exception for aluminum britches worn for “personal amusement.” A report says a man had 75 per cent of his skull replaced with an implant made by a 3D printer. “The hardest part was keeping him still while doctors jammed his head inside the offi ce Xerox machine,” snarled Jim Barach. “Apparently doctors got the idea after fi nding several buttocks replacements that had been left behind by their offi ce staff.” Two brothers won considerable money in a lottery in Wichita, Kan. and celebrat-ed by buying a stash of marijuana. In a pathetic attempt to light a bong using bu-tane lighter fl uid, one accidentally blew up the family home. One man was hospit-alized with second-degree burns and the other was arrested for marijuana posses-sion. At Craighead Forest Park, a man was trying to impress a girl and it appeared he had done just that when he defended the woman’s honour when a man with a large knife attacked. The woman ran while Tyler Siegel, 26, stayed back to fi ght off the attacker. It was eventually determined the attacker was a friend of Siegel, who was simply doing a favour. The cuts Siegel suffered were self-infl icted. At the present time, Siegel is not facing any charges but the female victim says she is no longer speaking to Siegel. Gary Bachman: “A Virginia woman has the world’s longest legs. Yesterday she was spotted at Costco buying a gallon con-tainer of Nair.” Until next time . . . keep reading be-tween the lines . . .

Is the bandwagon any lighter this week after the Toronto Blue Jays opened the season 2-4? Runs were hard to come by in the sea-son opener and Jays’ ace R.A. Dickey was lit up in his second game when his knuckleball failed to do its thing. The team saw itself trailing Tampa Bay, the Yankees, Baltimore and the Red Sox in its Ameri-can League East division.

As any fan of major league baseball knows, six games in a season is a miniscule sample size con-sidering clubs play over 160 of them. I like what the Jays did this offseason and they will no doubt turn the ship around. With stars like Dickey, Jose Reyes, Jose Bautista and the list goes on, they should be able to fi nd their groove.

Of course, on numerous occasions trying to buy a championship team is about as likely as the Cal-gary Flames making it to the playoffs in the next few years. Examples abound, like the ‘dream team’ in Philadelphia where the NFL’s Eagles had one of

the worst records in the Andy Reid era or even the classic case of the New York Rangers where they loaded up their teams in the past only to fall short of the postseason.

While it can work (see: the New York Yankees and Bos-ton Red Sox in past years) there are times when it just doesn’t. Whether it comes down to team chemistry, egos or whatever, highly-talented teams can struggle when it counts the most. But, at the end of the day I do think To-ronto is a team that will fi nd its mojo and either take the AL east or snap up a wild card spot to get into the postsea-son for the fi rst time in a very long time. And as sports have proven, especially in the last few years, just get in and you could win (see: 2012 Los Angeles Kings).

If the snow around here would ever disappear, ball dia-monds will be busy once again. Hopefully teams will be treated to some great summer weather.

I’m going to try to stick to warm weather items this week to get the focus away from the snow, although I will say this one tidbit before moving on. I read that if we still have snow come something like Apr. 23, it will be six full months of having it. Some may think it’s great but when there is ball, golf, football and walking outdoors to be done, then I say ‘enough is enough already.’

The Masters went over the weekend and not knowing the outcome as I wrote this, I sure hope it was a dandy. A lot of ‘golf insiders’ fi gured it was Tiger Woods’ event to lose. I would have to agree although I was pulling for Phil Mickelson. This past weekend’s tournament was also the 10th anniversary since Canadian Mike Weir captured the green jacket. It is one of those ‘where were you when’ mo-ments in Canadian sports that people tend to keep stored in their memory banks.

If memory serves me right, I caught a bit of the fi nal round and then his fi nal putt in the administration build-ing of Bethany College in Hepburn. It was the fi nal day of school there and amidst the activities and packing, I caught a glimpse of him raising his arms in victory. I re-member thinking this is something truly special and 10 years later, it is still remembered.

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament labelled ‘March Madness’ came to an end last week with Louis-ville beating Michigan. I actually picked Louisville in the fi nal two but went with Florida to win. The Gators lost against Michigan two rounds earlier. Overall, I got 39 of the 63 selections right through the bracket, which is not too bad for me.

While I didn’t pick Wichita State, they were truly a Cinderella story. The ninth seed in the west beat number eight Pittsburgh, number one Gonzaga, number 13 La Salle and number two Ohio State to face Louisville in the fi nal four.

Wichita State had a one-point advantage after the fi rst half, living up to its name the Shockers. The team put up 42 in the second half but the Cardinals threw 47 on the board, winning 72-68. A close one for a team no one saw coming. That is the cool thing about March Madness: there is usually at least one team that goes on a magical run in the tournament.

That’s all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the point.

The Toronto Blue Jays are underway but have fans started hopping off the bandwagon? The Masters was held and provided some great theatre.–– a sports column by TWM reporter Daniel Bushman

■ Daniel BushmanThe Watrous Manitou April 15, 2013

With a steep hill to climb and numerous teams in the way, achiev-ing a berth into the Allan Cup - the championship where the top AAA senior hockey teams in Canada meet - can be diffi cult. To earn that opportunity in consecutive years can be even harder. After falling short in last year’s fi nal, the Rosetown Redwings are back for another shot at this year’s Allan Cup.

The team, which com-peted in Lloydminster last April, is off to Red Deer where the club gets its fi rst action Apr. 15.

Former Watrous resi-dent Jason Ediger is part of the club off the ice while there are play-ers on the ice with ties to the Long Lake Hockey League.

Joining others on the Redwings team are: Cart-er Smith who played with Davidson this season, ac-

Local contingent in Allan Cup for second year

cumulating 35 points in 17 games; and Dean Beuker and Brent Twordik who suited up for Lanigan, with Beuker getting 44 points in 21 games and Twordik notching 42 in 20 games. And from a few years ago, former Winter-hawk Rory McMahon is also on the squad.

Between the pipes is Drake Canuck’s netmind-er David Spooner who played 929 minutes for Drake this season, getting one shutout, allowing 60 goals and having a goals against average of 3.88.

The road to the Al-lan Cup for the Redwings saw them face Balgonie in the provincial semifi -nals. Rosetown won game one 7-1 and then shut out the Bisons Feb. 6 by a 3-0 score to take game two of the best of three. The Redwings moved on to the fi nals against Shellbrook after they edged Lloyd-minster.

In the best of fi ve, Shell-brook took game one 4-3 in double overtime Feb. 18.

Game two had the Elks go up 2-0 in the series with a 6-3 victory. However, Rose-town fought back, taking game three 3-1 Mar. 1. Game four in Shellbrook went down to the wire as the Redwings scored in double overtime to force a fi fth and fi nal game. In game fi ve, Rosetown com-pleted the comeback as it defeated the Elks 4-1, win-ning the fi nal three games to capture the Saskatch-ewan provincial title.

The victory propelled them to the Rathgaber Cup, which pitted the Manitoba champion against the Sas-katchewan one. The win-ner of that series moved on to represent the west at the Allan Cup.

The South East Prairie Thunder, who were Mani-toba senior champions in 2008, travelled to Rose-town for game one. It was the Redwings who notched the 6-3 win.

Game two Mar. 23 had the Prairie Thunder even the series with a 4-3 vic-tory. Rosetown responded

a night later in game three with a 5-0 shutout to go up 2-1 in the best-of-fi ve se-ries.

Game four needed dou-ble overtime as South East tried to prolong its season. However, the Redwings had other ideas and ended the contest with a 5-4 win. That sealed the series and Rosetown moved on to the Allan Cup.

The round-robin tour-nament at the Allan Cup will feature the Redwings representing the West; the host Bentley Generals and Stony Plain Eagles repre-senting Alberta; the Fort St. John Flyers represent-ing the Pacifi c; Kenora Thistles representing Central; and Clarenville Caribous representing At-lantic Canada.

All six will clash in round-robin action Apr. 15 to 17 and then playoffs hit the ice Apr. 18 to 19 with the fi nal Apr. 20. In the di-vision two pool, Rosetown plays its fi rst game Apr. 15 against Bentley and then Apr. 17 faces Kenora.


It is a life-changing decision and those who have been a part of organ donation are encouraged to put on their shoes for this year’s Transplant Trot. Donors, recipients, families and others will recognize the importance of cel-ebrating life after transplants at this year’s event.

Held in Saskatoon and across the country, the trot is also aimed at increasing organ and tissue donation awareness and increasing the number of registered or-gan and tissue donors.

Last year a handful of cities in Canada held a Trans-plant Trot at which people participate in a fi ve or 10 kilo-metre fun trot. This year, Saskatoon will be a venue for a

Transplant Trot shows success of organ donation

trot, which goes in the later part of the morning May 12 at Victoria Park. The Saskatoon branch of the Canadian Transplant Association is tasked with setting it up; the event will be attended by organ recipients including as-sociation members from Allan and Watrous.

Race coordinator for the Saskatoon event Brent Sen-ger said organ recipients of kidneys, livers, hearts, stem cells, heart and double lung and others attend the Trans-plant Trot. “Organ donation is a complicated topic but without it, no one in our club would be alive today.”

Senger who gave his son a kidney two years ago, hopes the general public attends and is able to meet those who have been a recipient of an organ.

Senger recalled just how much of an impact it is for (see page nine: TRANSPLANT)

Serving it upThe senior badminton group at Winston High School was busy practising on the court this past Wednesday. Several senior players, coached by Evan Libke, were on hand representing the mixed and girls doubles teams. Coaching the junior crew is Barry Croshaw who said both age categories will be attending pre-districts later this month.–– Daniel Bushman/TWM


from page eight:

TRANSPLANTpeople receiving an organ. When the family attended the transplant winter games in Switzerland, a skier from Norway noted in an interview that he and the 150 others there all had transplants. “He said in his interview . . . he is looking at 150 people that are competing and if it wasn’t for organ donors, there would be 150 headstones.”

Last year Senger said 1,500 people died in Canada waiting for transplants but if there were more organs available that number could drop.

Right now with surgeries the way they are, “We have never had such success with surgical implants like this and the rejection medication has never been better. We live in an era where we can do it but we are so short of organs, people are dying on the list.”

During tragedy Senger said it can be hard to make tough decisions but he hopes people would consider al-lowing organs to be donated.

“You’ve got this fatality, this grief, all these kinds of things going on and the last thing you want to think of is donating organs. But if you could see the people at

the Transplant Trot and how it affected their life, if you knew that and if that was a piece of knowledge in your brain before that accident happened, I believe you would think differently.”

Senger said many transplants are not short term but quite the opposite. “It is not just saving a life for a year or two. Hopefully, it is a 30 year thing.”

The father from the Allan area said there is a man in their transplant club who got a kidney when he was 18 years old and 38 years later still has it functioning.

Senger brought up another story of a man from Que-bec who had a heart/double lung transplant and waited for more than a year to have it. Just before he died he got the transplant and a year later took up running and then marathons. “This guy from Quebec then climbed Mount Everest, which is amazing.”

People with stories like that and others will be at this year’s trot, which is not just for those with transplants. “In fact, (registration for) the people that have donated an organ or received an organ is free.”

Others can register for the trot, which costs $28 and is entirely paperless to sign up. To register, people can go online to www.events.runningroom.com and follow the links.

Manitou Beach Hello all and welcome to the new provincial club of “I’m Fed Up With Winter”. Membership is free, growing rapidly and daily. The big prize has yet to be announced - maybe green trees and grass in June. Mind you, the Canada geese are out and about searching for water to paddle in - that is liquid gold these days. Margorie Cline has been bird watching and saw three mountain blue-birds Tuesday, Apr. 9 near the site of the former shrimp factory. These bright blue birds eat insects and berries. Friday, Apr. 5, I drove through ice and snow-packed roads to St. Peter’s Abbey for a knitting camp. Staying home was not an option as I knew the gals from Edmon-ton, Onion Lake and Lloydminster had a much longer drive. Only the Regina gals failed to show up, though Doris was thinking and caught the bus Thursday. Doris is a special lady as she introduced us to the Quilts of Valour campaign. Quilters are invited to make lap blanket-quilts (or 8” x 8” quilt blocks) for servicemen and women who have been touched by their wartime services physically or mentally. This is such a good cause and Doris gave me a pile of pamphlets to share and asked me to let her know if any of you know of wounded servicemen and women who are in need of a quilt of valour. Please do call me at 306-946-2784. The fabric for the “Oh Canada” theme was designed by Linda Ludovico and features many Canadian motifs. The quilt blocks are collected, then pieced and quilted by teams of quilters and then presented to wounded soldiers. The website www.quiltsofvalour gives more information and fabric is available at Haus of Stitches in Humboldt and likely in other fabric stores too. If you buy your fabric there you can drop off your completed blocks there or I can take them with me to Doris at the knitting camp in early October. Tuesday, Apr. 9 was moving day for the bathroom/changeroom near the tennis courts. The building was driven up the hill and now resides near the village of-fi ce where it will be used as a shed. Does anyone know when it was built? By the way, if you had not noticed, it is income tax season and you may well have tax work to do. Have a good week and may spring come soon. Sue

Anyone is welcome to come and have supper and play cards. We always meet the fi rst Tuesday of each month and have a potluck supper then spend the evening playing cards.

They had assignments out of 100 hair elastics, pistachio shells, macaroni noodles, pennies, pieces of glass and foam and many other great ideas. Saturday, Mar. 16, seven teams gathered to play vol-leyball. The senior SRC hosted a volleyball tour-nament from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. First prize was $50. Not only was the tourna-ment for the school but also for community in-volvement with teams and supporters of all ages. The purpose was to have fun and enjoy and it did not matter if you won or lost. Very best wishes to Ethan and Vanessa on the birth of their baby girl Amber Joan born Mar. 26, a month and a half early. Both Mom and Amber

are doing great. Amber is still in NICU but they are hoping to have her home soon. Congrats Ethan and Vanessa. Viscount Book Club met approximately a week ago to discuss the book Come, Thou Tortoise. The book was discussed thoroughly as the group was quite divided on whether it was an enjoyable read or not. They are now reading The Next Thing on My List. At the seniors breakfast Apr. 6 there were 23 people out for a delicious morning start. The lucky loonie was won by Armand Clavelle. Monica Palfy and Chris Rault volunteered to cook and clean.

ALLAN,Margaret Mary

(Taylor) Margaret Allan, formerly of Imperial, aged 91 years, passed away peacefully at Oliver Lodge, Saskatoon on Tuesday, March 26, 2013. Margaret Mary Taylor was born on the family farm fi ve miles west of Stalwart to David and Mercy Taylor on December 22, 1921. She was the “big” sister to Aubrey, Doris and Norman. After attending Bermuda School, Margaret left home and worked in the Imperial district for Maggie and Henry Code, Margaret and Eldon Abrey and Ohmer and Elena Etter. On April 9, 1947, Margaret married Ed-ward Allan of Imperial. They made their home with Ed’s parents on the family farm. Margaret and Ed’s life was full of excitement and challenges raising their fi ve daughters.

After retiring from farming in 1980, Margaret and Ed built a home in Imperial where Mar-garet lived until November of 2010. To be closer to family, she moved to Saskatoon where she resided at Luther Care Riverside Terrace and then Oliver Lodge. Margaret was a de-voted wife to Edward for 55 years, loving mother, doting grandmother, caring sister and aunt and a loyal friend. She was a meticulous and hardworking homemaker, good cook, baker, gardener, sewer, quilter, crafter and “fi xer-upper”. Margaret willingly supported the community of Imperial for many years and many events. She was proud to be able to do this service. The community had given back to Margaret many special memories of Imperial friendships and events: dinner theatres, school programs, church involvements, Eastern Star, homecomings, rink activities, etc. Margaret enjoyed a long retirement life. She and her husband enjoyed many holidays together and were avid Saskatchewan Roughrider fans. Margaret was fortunate to have watched all of her grandchildren grow up to adulthood. Margaret is lovingly remembered by daughters Doris (Ron) Wilson, Joyce (Blaine) Crittenden, Sharon Federspiel, Mary Lynn (Bob) Wright and Bonnie (Scott) Spencer; 13 grandchildren: Jill (Brian) Schneider, Shae (Chad) Heffernan and Taylor Barrett; Kerry (Meshel) Kozachuk and Tanis Crittenden; Sean (Mona) Federspiel, Brett Federspiel and Brad (Shelley) Federspiel; Brent (Syrina) Wright and Kimberley Wright (Michael); Ryan Spencer (Julianne), Haley Spencer and Ward Spencer; nine great grandchildren: Saman-tha (Shay), Reed, Hannah, Katherine, Jacob, Kaitlynn, Breana, Avery and Damien; great great grandson Mason and niece Linda (Howard) Fisher and family. Also left to mourn are nieces and nephews on the Allan side, cousins, friends and neighbours. She was predeceased by her parents, husband, son-in-law Harvey Federspiel, siblings and in-laws. Funeral service was held at St. Andrew’s United Church, Imperial on April 6 conduct-ed by Rev. Alison West. Pallbearers were grandsons Sean Federspiel, Taylor Barrett, Brett Federspiel, Brad Federspiel, Brent Wright, Ryan Spencer and Ward Spencer. Ken Code and Vernon Nolt-ing were ushers. Eulogy was given by Sharon Federspiel and Mary Lynn Wright. Helen Abrey was the organist. Interment followed at Imperial Cemetery. Memorial donations directed to St. Andrew’s United Church would be appreciated. To leave online condol-ences, tributes or to make a donation, please visit www.fotheringham-mcdougall.com

OBITUARY

I would like to send a dozen roses to the employees who look after the civic centre. It is very nice to have a warm place to walk that is free of ice.

- W.D. Wilson

We would like to say a big thank you to our families for being there for my surgery in Saskatoon Mar. 7. Debbie and Kaylin were also there for my surgery. Kaylin had to be back in Edmonton for her classes Monday and Deb-bie stayed for the next eight days before going back to St. Lina. Norman came for a week from Mexico after Deb-bie went home. Thank you to all our friends and neigh-bours for visits, fl owers, food brought to our house, cards and phone calls inquiring about my health and recov-ery and more food brought to the house, my sister Bon-nie who was my caregiver after Debbie went home and came every day through all the snowbanks to look after my incisions and have a visit, our friends from Arizona who phoned and emailed to check on my health. It all helped the healing process and time passed more quickly. Now it’s been one month and I am recovering very well, but I am still restricted in what I can do yet. There is truth in the saying “small towns are the best”.

IN MEMORY

KONSCHUH,Phyllis Marion

Phyllis Konschuh, aged 92 years, passed away at Last Mountain Pioneer Lodge, Strasbourg on Saturday, March 30, 2013. Phyllis was born to Cyril and Ada Halstead on Decem-ber 7, 1920 at Nokomis, the oldest of eight children. She grew up in Alberta starting school in Calgary and getting most of her education in Gleichen. She attended Calgary Normal School in 1938-39 for teacher training and then taught in rural Alberta schools for two years where she met and married Walter Konschuh of Cluny, Alta. in 1941. They moved to Nokomis in 1942 and began farming. They had four children. In 1976 Walter passed away and the following year Mom moved into Nokomis. She was very involved in community organizations and boards including Nokomis

Agricultural Society, Nokomis Credit Union, Last Mountain Co-op Board, Nokomis and District Museum and the Anglican Church Women. Mom always enjoyed watching sports on TV and was very hard to beat at a game of Scrabble, which she enjoyed playing all her life. Mom was a lifelong teacher to her children with her impeccable memory and she was a stickler for proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. No cash register mistakes es-caped her scrutiny. In 2008 she moved into Parkville Manor in Saskatoon where she made many new friends. In the summer of 2012 her health deteriorated forcing her to move into Last Mountain Pioneer Home in Strasbourg. Phyllis is survived by sisters Rita Salsbury and Norma (Bill) Novak; brother Robert (Lucille) Halstead; brother-in-law Frank (Janet) Fedor; sister-in-law Viola Halstead; chil-dren Carol Kolbus, Clarence (Annette), Barb (Robin) Fraser and Brian (Glenda); 12 grand-children Joseph, Renata (Cheryl), Christopher, Sarah (Albert), Kendra (Clint), Luke, Jason (Meghan), Kathryn, Tanna (Stacey), Amy (Chris), Heather (Richard) and Eric (Janna) and six great grandchildren Victoria, Trent, Rory, Rylan, Livia and Tyson. Funeral service was held at Nokomis Centennial Hall on April 5 conducted by Rev. Jack Robson. Honourary pallbearers were all of her family and friends. Chris Konschuh, Luke Kon-schuh, Eric Konschuh, Jason Fraser, Joe Kolbus and Chris McLaren were pallbearers. Register attendants were Jerry and Jean Langteigne. Kathy and Cliff Metheral were ush-ers. Eulogy was given by Barb Fraser. Amy McLaren gave the tribute from the grandchil-dren. Pianist was Ruth Anne Richter. Private family interment followed at Nokomis Cemetery. Memorial donations directed to Nokomis District Museum or Nokomis Anglican Church would be appreciated. To leave online condol-ences, tributes or to make a donation, please visit www.fotheringham-mcdougall.com

Edwin Allen and family would like to extend a heart-felt thank you for all the acts of kindness, friendship and support shown to us at the time of Bev’s passing. It will never be forgotten.

Making the most of a crested

wheatgrass stand■ Nadia Mori PAg, regional forage specialist,Watrous, Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Crested wheatgrass has been widely distributed in Sas-katchewan during the drought-prone 1930s when it became very useful as a soil stabilizer to reduce further soil erosion. Crested wheatgrass is a drought tolerant, long-lived bunch-grass best adapted to sandy soils. It does not tolerate fl ooding or wet soils and is only moderately salt tolerant. Because of its early spring growth, crested wheatgrass can serve as a comple-ment to other later growing pasture. Slower growing tame and native pasture can benefi t greatly from this deferred grazing. Despite its advantages, crested wheatgrass is also recognized as an invader on native pasture. The grass should therefore not be included in a perennial stand close or adjacent to native pasture. Protein content and digestibility decrease very rapidly after heading of crested wheatgrass. The bulk of production occurs during the fi rst fi ve to six weeks of growth, which generally takes place in May and early June. Grazing should occur during this rapid growth period and should be intensive enough to harvest the available yield prior to heading. If the stand is cut for hay, cutting should occur between heading and fl owering to maximize yield and nutritional quality. Palatability of crested wheatgrass can be a concern on pas-ture where animals can pick and choose their feed. Crested wheatgrass is ideally used in a pure stand and with controlled grazing management. Where cattle have access to crested wheatgrass only, animals seem to more readily accept the feed. Using the grass in combination with other grasses or leg-umes can pose problems. A fi rst concern is the timing of use, as crested wheatgrass should be grazed or cut much earlier than other grasses or any legumes. A second concern is the avoidance of crested wheatgrass and simultaneous overgraz-ing of the remaining plants in the pasture stand. Ungrazed crested wheatgrass plants can then become over mature “wolf plants” that will have even lower palatability and lead to fur-ther avoidance of those plants. In addition to its usefulness as very early spring forage, there is also the option of using stockpiled crested wheat-grass for fall grazing. The Western Beef Development Centre has completed a study using stockpiled crested wheatgrass supplemented with dried distillers’ grain to extend the graz-ing season. Forage quality of crested wheatgrass will be low in the fall and supplementation is needed to meet animal requirements. Depending on availability and cost of supple-mental feed, fall grazing of stockpiled crested wheatgrass can be an economical alternative to drylot feeding.

Comments Ten Year Later: “The best thing about the windows is that they stay clear and have no frost build up like I have seen on other windows. It was a smart choice for us even after ten years. I would recommend it to anyone. It was a very good invest-ment for our dollars and I would do it over again in a heartbeat .”

Online licencing availableEnvironment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff demon-

strated the new online Hunting, Trapping and Angling Licence (HAL) ordering system by purchasing his 2013-‘14 angling licence in Regina.

“Saskatchewan boasts some of North America’s best hunting and fi shing, enjoyed by residents and guests from around the world,” Cheveldayoff said. “We’re making it eas-ier for people to access the necessary licenses to enjoy these sports with the introduction of the online system. An online licensing system not only improves the experience for hunt-ers and anglers who are contributing to our economy, but it allows the Ministry of Environment to better monitor and manage wildlife resources within the province and ensure excellent sport opportunities for generations to come.”

On Apr. 1 people were able to start purchasing an an-

gling licence through the automated licensing system to establish an account and be assigned a unique HAL iden-tifi cation number. They only ever have to register once and then be able to purchase all future licences as they become available.

Anglers can purchase their angling licences:• online through their personal computer any time;• through private issuers, Ministry of Environment

and select Provincial Park offi ces; or• by phone at 1-855-848-4773.For this year, spring bear licences and Wildlife Habi-

tat licences must be purchased from a local licence is-suer, Ministry of Environment or select Provincial Park offi ces. All remaining licences will be available online in time for the fall hunting season.

Alameda reservoirs as well as holding sev-eral meetings with municipalities to ad-dress their concerns and inform them of programs available.”

Meetings have been held in at-risk areas and in more than 200 communities. “With the increased snow cover and late melt, I urge all people and communities to look at the forecast and prepare for fl ooding,”

Cheveldayoff said. “The Water Security Agency along with the ministries of government relations, agriculture, highways and infrastructure are com-mitted to be there for the people of Saskatchewan as we prepare for spring run-off.”

The Water Security Agency’s emergency fl ood damage reduction program provides assistance with the implementation of emergency fl ood damage reduction or prevention measures. The program is

available to communities, rural municipal-ities, businesses, non-profi t organizations and individual farm residences to help mitigate damage from imminent fl ooding.

The agency said the April forecast should be used as a general guide as lo-cal conditions may vary. The full fore-cast is available online at www.wsask.ca. The agency will continue to monitor the 2013 spring runoff conditions across Sas-katchewan and will update the forecast as spring runoff begins.


More snow in April and greater-than-normal precipitation in certain parts of the province in March has led to an above-normal runoff prediction for the majority of the province. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency released its April fore-cast and higher levels of runoff should be expected.

Watrous falls into the above-normal category but Last Mountain borders on well above normal. South of Last Mountain it turns to well above normal and then very high around Moose Jaw, Regina and Weyburn. Northeast of Watrous towards Saska-toon, well-above-normal levels are forecast and for the city, very high runoff is predicted.

Making matters worse, those very high level areas like Moose Jaw to Indian Head then south to Weyburn, and Saskatoon to North Battle-ford extending north to Waskesiu Lake have seen an increase in potential runoff.

Minister responsible for the Water Security Agency Ken Cheveldayoff said, “With the additional snowfall in March, areas in the Souris River and Qu’Appelle River basins have been the most affected. To help prepare for the runoff, the Water Security Agency has been increasing the outfl ow of water from Rafferty and

Above normal precipitation prior to runoff and/or a faster than typical rate of melt will result in significantly higher runoff.

In many areasconditions varyconsiderably overshort distances.

Projected runoff is based on sparse, variable and often conflicting snow accumulation estimates.

Runoff boundaries should be considered approximate.
