■ Daniel BushmanThe Watrous Manitou August 5, 2013

It was a life taken too soon as Sas-katoon police investigated the city’s second murder of the year, one that has ties to the community of Young and the surrounding area. Twenty-fi ve-year-old Alexander (AJ) Holdner who was known to many in Young and Watrous was found deceased in his vehicle by Saskatoon police July 11.

At approximately 11:55 p.m. July 11, offi cers were on a routine patrol in the city and stopped to check a vehicle. The truck had broken down on Circle Drive northbound just south of 11th St. W. The 1998 black Ford extended cab had lost its rear driver’s side wheel and was parked on the side of the road.

Police found Holdner, who had recently moved to Saskatoon from Young, unresponsive in the vehicle. An autopsy was performed and the manner of death was determined to be a homicide. Police found two men - one a native of Young and the other who recently resided there - and charged them with fi rst degree mur-der in relation to the death.

The two, ages 18 and 19, were ar-rested without incident in the area of Preston Crossing around 7:30 p.m. July 14. Kyle Scott and Robert McCa-mon then appeared in Saskatoon Provincial Court to answer to the charges.

Wheeling into WatrousAll ages of vehicles in all stages of restoration were on hand at the 22nd annual Watrous and Manitou Beach Fun Run Auto Show and Shine July 27. Main Street was its usual packed location, with three blocks of displays for enthusiasts to view - and in some cases, linger over. Businesses featured specials to draw in the crowds, and the United Church held a garage sale to raise money for the recently-restored exterior of the building. Early in the day, the Watrous Music

Clouds mar July sky■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou August 5, 2013

Bundling up is usually reserved for winter but thanks to lower than average temperatures and more cloudy days than normal, people saw less of the hot weather in July across Saskatchewan.

For those who enjoy particularly hot days, there were no complaints through the fi rst two weeks as tempera-tures were close to being on par. However, in the back half of the month, the needle tended to stick around 20˚C for a daytime high with not much wiggle room ei-ther way.

Environment Canada’s David Phillips said while July was normal for precipitation values, “It has been a little on the cool side.”

Phillips used three categories to help average the weather: the mean daily max, which is the afternoon temperature; the early morning temperature around 4 a.m. or 5 a.m.; and then the average temperature for the day.

The afternoon temperature that Phillips said most people experienced came in around 22.9˚C with the nor-mal being 24.1˚C. “(Being that low) is not record-breaking but it is still a little on the cool side for most people.”

Meanwhile, the early morning average was actual-ly minimally warmer at 10.9˚C with the normal being 10.6˚C.

Phillips said averaging both of those comes in at 16.8˚C, whereas the normal sits at 17.4˚C. While being cooler is nothing to write home about, Phillips said there are a few differences from the month that stand out. The number of hot days where 30˚C is recorded was down from the usual tabulation. “You had two of them

just barely above 30˚C. There was July 2 at 30.3˚C and July 11 got to 30.6˚C. You normally would have seven of those.”

While there have been a few severe weather bouts, Phillips said they are not a product of the swing in weather. In fact, tornado numbers are down and with the exception of seven twisters in one day across the prov-ince, the number is far from the total of 33 last year.

“Severe weather at times can be stormy but I don’t think that is the story.”

Phillips said Saskatchewan is the sunniest province but in July there were twice as many noon hours that were cloudy than sunny. “I would not have thought that. I would think the majority of days would be sunny.”

Because of that, the “feel-like” weather temperature is closer to what is forecast as a high since the high is measured in the shade. “If you walk out in the sun, you could add another seven or eight degrees to that . . . this year you are getting more cloud than sunshine” so it makes that “feel-like” weather closer to the cooler tem-peratures that are forecast.

Because of the prolonged cold earlier this year, Phil-lips said that adds to wanting warmer weather now. “People dealt with such a tough winter and had spring that just went on and on disguised as winter . . . it just has been really slow to warm up. Across the province it has been the same pattern.”

However, for those seeking higher values, Phillips said their models are showing the rest of the summer to be better than the fi rst part. “We think the temperatures will warm up and are calling for August and September to be warmer than normal for places like Watrous and Saskatoon.”

Filmmaker Kelly-Anne Riess is exploring Al Capone’s connections to Saskatchewan, including Manitou Beach, in a documentary called Finding Al. Bootleggers, in the 1920s, during prohibition, used to haul liquor out over dusty back roads over the border through Estevan and onto Regina and Moose Jaw. A Moose Jaw barber claimed he cut Al Capone’s hair, twice. A local dentist allegedly pulled out Capone’s wis-dom teeth. “I have even heard that Capone is said to have visited Manitou Beach near Watrous,” said Riess. “Some say he went to Danceland.” Riess and her researchers are looking to substantiate this Manitou Beach story and are searching for family stories people in and around Watrous might have about Capone sightings in the area. “The more I work on this project, the more I believe Capone might have actually been in Saskatchewan,” said Riess. “One of Capone’s surviving family members said Capone used to talk about Saskatchewan. He allegedly called it God’s country.” To fi nd out more about Finding Al, visit www.fi ndingaldocumentary.com People can also follow the project on Twitter @FindingAl or join the discussion group on Facebook at fi ndingaldocumentary@groups.facebook.com Riess has worked on documentaries that have aired worldwide on such networks as A&E Biography and His-tory television. She is also the author of the bestselling Saskatchewan Book of Everything and the children’s picture book I Love Saskatchewan. As a freelance jour-nalist, she has written for such publications as the Globe and Mail and Canadian Geographic.

■ submitted by Chelsey Carruthers, M.Sc., PAg, regional livestock specialist, Saskatch-ewan Ministry of Agriculture, Watrous Weather conditions this summer have been conducive to the formation of blue-green algae blooms on dugouts and ponds. Nutrient rich runoff fl owing into a body of fresh water combined with warm daytime temperatures in the sum-mer accelerates algal growth, including that of blue-green algae. Blue-green algae is not an algae, but a bacteria called cyanobacteria. This bacteria produces toxins that can cause skin and eye irritations, gastroenter-itis, liver and nervous system damage, sickness and, at times, death. A surface bloom of blue-green algae may look quite differently depending on which species is dominant. Some will have a shimmering blue-green colour. The bloom may also have a foamy sheen-like appearance that looks like spilled paint fl oating on top of the water. Heavy blooms may appear like a solid shimmer-ing blue-green sheen across the water’s surface, may have an appearance and consistency similar to pea soup, or may have a mixture of the colours tan, pur-ple, grey, green or blue-green. If blue-green algae is identifi ed in a water source, all livestock, pets and hu-man contact should be prevented. The water will require treatment. The most common treatment of blue-green algae in an open dugout or pond is with a registered product con-taining copper sulphate. A list of regis-tered, commercially available products is contained in the Prairie Farm Re-habilitation Administration (PFRA)

The Community Pasture Patrons Association is issu-ing a public call for pastures slated for closure this fall to be given the option of a one year delay allowing for outstanding issues to be resolved. Pasture patron groups are being asked to develop busi-ness plans and structure that must be approved by gov-ernment by the fall of this year. To date there are many central business questions the two levels of govern-ment have not resolved leaving patrons with too many unknowns to make sound business decisions. Many of the fi rst 10 pastures set to close have land classifi ed as federal non-reversionary land of which the future is not determined. Federal non-reversionary lands are those which will not be turned back to the province and may not be available as part of the pasture in the future. For a number of the fi rst 10 pastures in Saskatchewan it has been determined the headquarters are on non-reversion-ary land. It is not reasonable to expect patron groups to build a business case without knowing what land will be available. In addition to not being certain which lands will be available, many other asset and liability questions re-main unanswered. Governments have not determined the future of all assets, which are non-fi xed assets, in-cluding bulls, machinery and other equipment. Patrons wishing to develop a business plan do not know if they can include these assets in their planning. Government ministers have assured the public that species at risk will be enforced on these lands.

Fact Sheet Copper Treatments for Dug-outs www4.agr.gc.ca/resources/prod/doc/pfra/water/facts/cuso_eng.pdf A treatment rate of one pound (0.45 kilogram) of copper sulphate (by weight) will treat 100,000 gallons (one kg/1,000,000 litres). There are two com-mon application methods: the copper sulphate can be dissolved in warm water, which is then sprayed over the water’s surface; or, the copper sulphate can be weighted into a cloth bag with a rope spread from side to side, and with the assistance of another individual, the bag can then be dragged back and forth across the water’s surface. When treating dugouts, the objective of the treatment is to target the top metre (1.0 m) to kill the algae. Copper sulphate works by killing the blue-green algae. Doing so releases the blue-green algae toxins into the water. Therefore, it is recommended that 12 to 14 days should pass prior to any live-stock, pet and/or human contact with the contaminated water. If treating a dugout containing fi sh, it is recom-mended only one-third of the dugout should be treated, using one-third of the recommended copper sulphate weight applied in treatments over a three day period. The treatment process described above applies to non-draining water bodies, such as dugouts, which are wholly contained on private land. In the case of water bodies that drain to adja-cent properties or waterways, a permit for the chemical control of aquatic nuis-ances is required from Saskatchewan Environment.

being understood. “Farmers and ranchers are being asked to put their money and time on the line to save their pastures from sale to a third party while governments are not in a position to provide the information needed to develop a plan”, said Ian McCreary, chair of CPPAS and cattle pro-ducer from Bladworth, Sask. “Pasture managers and PFRA staff who are key to the long term sustainability and management of these pastures have been given layoff notices by government. Patron groups will need these managers to be success-ful yet governments are making it impossible to provide these people any assurance that a job will be available.”

said Clint Christianson of Bracken, Sask. “The community pasture system has been in place for three generations. It is not reasonable for governments to expect patrons to pull together business plans during the four busiest months of the growing season especially in light of the list of outstanding issues yet to be resolved by governments”, said Joanne Brochu a cattle producer and patron from Colonsay, Sask. The Community Pasture Patrons Association of Sas-katchewan (CPPAS) is a newly formed patrons organiza-tion representing the majority of pasture patrons work-ing together to develop viable long term plans for the sustainable future of community pastures.

There are so many beautiful stamps. Now, Canada Post will be honouring Canadian rock band legends.–– a general interest column by contributor Peg Hasein

“The philatelist will tell you that stamps are educational, that they are valuable, that they are beautiful. This is only part of the truth. My notation is that the collection is a hedge, a comfort, a shelter into which the sorely beset mind can withdraw. It is orderly, it grows towards completion, it is something that can’t be taken away from us.”

Clifton Fadiman in Any Number Can Play

Personally, I am not a stamp collector. My father was and passed that love on to my nephew. The two of them would sit at the table for hours clipping stamps off envelopes and sorting them into binders. Not really my cup of tea.However, I do appreci-ated the beauty of stamps. Whenever we receive a piece of mail I stop to look at the stamp, especially the brightly-coloured ones. There are so many beauti-ful stamps. Now, Canada Post will be honouring Canadian rock band legends. The stamps featuring The Tragically Hip, Rush, The Guess Who and Beau Dommage are the latest in the post offi ce’s ongoing

series that honours Can-adian recording artists. It is the fi rst time bands will be featured rather than individual performers. The Tragically Hip: Gordon Downie, Paul Langlois, Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair, Johnny Fay -- fi ve friends from Kingston, Ontario who founded the band in 1984. The bank has released 12 studio albums, two live albums, one ex-tended play and 54 singles, not to mention selling mil-lions of records worldwide. They received 14 Juno Awards and the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, and have been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Rush: This band ranks third behind the Beatles and Rolling Stones for most gold and platinum re-cords sold by a rock band. Rush has sold in excess of 40 million records world-wide. The Toronto group is one of Canada’s most successful and infl uential rock bands. Rush has won numerous Juno Awards, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, recognition from Can-adian Music Hall of Fame and Canadian Songwrit-ers Hall of Fame and was the fi rst Canadian band

inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guess Who: The members of the band may have changed over the years, but the group recorded 14 top-40 hit singles, sold millions of albums, and won many awards. The band received the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement. Beau Dommage: The name of the band means “you bet” and it has won numerous prizes and awards including double platinum status, Felix trophies and a Billet d’or recognizing strong ticket sales for its live perform-ances. According to the stamp designers, the challenge was trying to capture the mood of each band. They are very infl uential in the rock scene and are still performing today. They were consulted on the fi nal design with The Guess Who and Rush opting to use a logo rather than a group picture. Just how special is get-ting a stamp in your hon-our? Well, Garry Peterson, drummer of The Guess Who, said it was a “very special” feeling.

MANITOUANITOUThe WatrousThe Watrous

Well, as hard as it is to believe, holidays are already behind us for another summer. There’s nothing like a two-week break from work . . . except, perhaps, a three-week break from work! We actually stayed at home this year more than we usually do, but the remainder of our days off were spent at Diefenbaker Lake, which, for us, was a little ‘blast from the past’. You see, for a number of years we lived in Outlook, and the big, deep, man-made lake was a quick drive south for us. We often went to the dam for a day on the weekends, enjoying the beach at the north end of the lake. Garrett was little and it made for a great family outing. And when I taught at the Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute in Outlook, there were a number of students from China I also hauled down to the lake for a day. It was just an easy way to feel like we were having a mini-holiday anytime we wanted. This year, we actually camped at Douglas Provin-cial Park, which is on the southeast corner of the lake (hmmm, can a lake have a corner?). It’s really not that long of a drive from Watrous except that there are only two choices of road: the goat path that calls itself Hwy. 15, or the grid from Imperial across to Davidson, fol-lowed by the secondary highway from there to Hwy. 19. As you may have guessed, we avoided using Hwy. 15 for fear of leaving behind most of the truck’s suspension and any loose parts from the trailer. Of course, that left the grid - not usually a problem for my husband, who doesn’t fear that swishy, slidey feeling I so hate about driving on gravel. However, as fate would have it, he drove into about 10 minutes of rain, on the worst part of the grid - no gravel, lots of ruts and mud that soon covered truck, camper and boat from top to bottom. Our son fared no better, coming to the lake three days later; he, too, ran into poor conditions thanks to a rain either the night before or earlier that morning. In fact, at one point on his journey down this ugly little stretch of grid, someone had just gone in the ditch moments before and was in the process of driving himself out. (Not surprisingly, my husband and son didn’t relay this part of the story to me until well after the fact!) However, once we were all safely ensconced in our wonderful site at Douglas, we proceeded to have quite a good time. I felt like I was ‘home’, in a sense. As I put it to my sister-in-law, whose family was also camping there, I’m defi nitely a prairie girl at heart. I love the fact that the campground was covered in trees and shrubs with leaves instead of needles. The density of the foliage meant we had perfect privacy from one site to the next. I also liked the fact that when we left the campground for, say, a drive into Elbow to go golfi ng, we were right back in the midst of canola and wheat fi elds. I could see the sky from horizon to horizon, which makes me feel very free. It’s not that I mind the north - it is very beauti-ful in its own way. I just start to feel a little closed-in and claustrophobic after more than a week. Of course, all that wide-open space comes with its own challenges. Diefenbaker Lake is so long and huge that any wind makes it very challenging to head out on the boat. And wind we had. There was one day nice enough to get out for some fi shing and tubing, but unfortunately the other two times we took the boat for an attempted ‘day on the beach’, we were chased back before too long by a thunderstorm and strong wind one day, and clouds and a cold wind the other. But them’s the breaks on Diefenbaker: it’s lovely, clean and refreshing, but unforgiving with anything stronger than a breeze. Our campsite, and in fact the entire campground, more than made up for it, however. I don’t think we’ve ever had a larger site at any campground anywhere in all our years. We fi t our trailer, boat, three vehicles, two tents and a picnic table, plus had plenty of room to fi t eight to ten chairs around the fi repit. Our afternoons and evenings were replete with drinks, food, music, excellent company, great stories and many laughs. That was truly the best part of our mid-summer getaway, and memories served to make my fi rst back-to-work week a little more bearable. Of course, putting in fi ve days only to be greeted by another long weekend didn’t hurt either! Here’s to one more month of summer. May it be calm and warm :)

Just Layzing Around

Poor roads notwithstanding, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip ‘back to the past’ as our summer holidays took us to some old stomping grounds, so to speak.

Contractor demolished house by mistakeHow ta look at

Paying the price for being absent from the garden

Ed, my neighbour next door, has been pointing from his yard at my gar-den and shaking his head. “While you were off camp-ing, your garden had every kind of weed in for a party. Now it’s up to you to throw them out, or they will stay until snow fl ies,” Ed com-mented. “Easier said than done,” I replied. “Evicting the weeds from my garden will take stubborn determina-tion. I’ve had to adjust from camping mode to hoeing the garden mode. Those thriving weeds mean twice as much hoeing as a result of my neglect. My spirit has been willing, but my gumption’s been low. You would understand the

challenge if you actually gardened yourself. When a garden gets overrun with weeds, the fun of garden-ing becomes arduous work instead of pleasant exer-cise. It’s like going into a war zone with a primitive weapon, a hoe while being outnumbered by invading weeds a thousand to one,” I said. “Gardens are a forbid-den zone for me as they make me feel trapped and too close to the ground. I’m free and proud on a trac-tor but miserable and dan-gerous in a garden with a hoe,” Ed said. “No point in ruining summer by keep-ing a garden,” he added. Summer weather motiv-ates people to do enjoyable activities while the weath-er is pleasant. It is fi nding a balance between what we like to do and what we need to do. If I camp too long away from home, the weeds take over the gar-den and I will have to hoe extremely vigorously to clean them out. The only other answer would be to give the garden over to the weeds, which in itself, pro-vokes me to get hoeing. Summer comes with a short expiration date. There is the great chal-lenge of fi tting in the fun activities like golfi ng, fi shing, swimming, camp-ing and holidaying before summer has moved on for another year. The great-est challenge is keeping

Elementary school teach-er Carie Charlesworth was fi red by Holy Trinity School near San Diego because her estranged husband turned up in the school parking lot. After a January weekend in which Carie was forced to call police three times be-cause of the threats, the hus-band had shown up the next day at her work, provoking offi cials to immediately put the school in lockdown. In her letter of termination, offi cials said simply that Charlesworth’s students are constantly at risk from the ex-husband. As can be expected, battered-women support groups were horri-fi ed at the decision. A California rollercoast-er was just too much fun and had to close down. The Gold Striker at Great Amer-ica in Santa Clara was shut down tempor-arily because riders were screaming too loudly. Their shrieks exceeded a decibel limit agreed with a real estate company that owns adjacent properties. Colombian prisoner Giovanni Rebolledo was serving a 60-year sentence (as a mem-ber of the ‘Los Topos’ gang charged with extortion, kidnapping and torture) when he escaped and decided on an extreme identity change in order to move about in the country. He transformed himself into “Rosalinda,” complete with, “impressive” breast implants, but nonetheless was iden-tifi ed in May in a routine traffi c stop and arrested. Detroit fi led the largest municipal

bankruptcy in U.S. history, setting the stage for a costly court battle with creditors and opening a new chapter in the long struggle to re-vive the city that was the cradle of the American auto industry. Since this announcement, a federal judge has stated the action is illegal. The bankruptcy, if approved, would force De-troit’s thousands of credit-ors into negotiations with the city’s emergency man-ager Kevyn Orr to resolve an estimated $18.5 billion in debt that has crippled Mich-igan’s largest city. TC in BC says: “Disney is expected to lose upwards of $150M on its box offi ce bomb The Lone Ranger. Good thing they have deep pockets or they might have to see a real Loan Arranger

to fund their next movie.” Jerry W swears he called the theatre and asked what time they would screen The Lone Ranger. The guy on the phone said, “What time can you be here?” This would be absolutely freaky and per-haps could explain the voices I hear from time to time! A British woman returned from a holiday in Peru but kept hearing scratching noises inside her head and was eventually told she was being attacked by fl esh-eating maggots living inside her ear. Rochelle Harris, 27, said she remembered dislodging a fl y from her ear while in Peru but thought nothing more of it until she started getting headaches and pains down one side of her face. When fl ushing the

faithful to the activities that will keep blessing us long after the summer is over. Like garden produce picked and stored in the freezer during the summer for the winter, we need to remember God’s word is to be harvested at church in the summer. Summer often produces a whole crop of Christians that quit laying up the food of God’s word and His life-sustaining supper in their lives. They act as if ignor-ing God for the summer is good for them, instead of being spiritually harm-ful. They are like a garden untouched by a hoe for the whole summer. Without God’s word, there is no rec-ognition of sin or call for repentance, forgiveness and compassion. Gardens are not planted and then forgotten during the sum-mer. Why plant a garden if you will not be faithful to it, hoe it, water it and be blessed by what it produ-ces? Can Christian folks ig-nore the worship of God, His word, and His fellow-ship at church during the summer? Of course, they can - but is it wise? Most workers cannot afford to take the summer off and stay away from work. They need their paycheques. We need to honour God and attend our churches every season. Summer should not make our church at-tendance a dead zone.

maggots out failed, the doctors operated and found a “writhing mass of eight mag-gots” within her ear, raising concern they could eat into her brain. A woman who disappeared from Surrey, B.C. 50 years ago has been found, but the fairy tale family reunion may never hap-pen. RCMP recently featured Lucy John-son in their historic missing-persons fi le and her daughter Linda Evans used that information to advertise the disappear-ance where her mother once lived in the Yukon. It was not long before Evans heard from what turned out to be her half-sister, the outcome from Johnson’s second mar-riage. Johnson, who is now 77 and living under a different name, disappeared in 1961 but her husband Marvin Johnson did not report her missing until 1965. At the time, the four-year time lapse made police suspicious and Marvin Johnson, who died in the late 1990s became a suspect. While happy to solve one outstanding case, the department’s fi le on Humphrey Wilkinson, who vanished in 1957, remains open. Eight elderly women who had hired a limo for a friend’s 96th birthday escaped unharmed when that limousine caught fi re. “Wonder if the fi re started with the left blinker overheating from being left on,” wondered Janice Hough. Toby Keith’s tour bus caught on fi re in Indiana. According to Barach, fi re offi cials say they have never seen that much smoke coming from a bus that was not carrying Willie Nelson. In Kobe, Japan, an unemployed, 32-year-old man stole a wallet from a parked scoot-er. While it was just a minor crime, he did it just to be locked up in the world famous city. Besides being the home of Kobe beef, it is acclaimed for its French, Chinese and octopus cuisines. Kobe’s Nagata Ward Pre-

cinct is renowned for the special gourmet boxed meals prepared by local bento shops, delivered daily to prisoners. A guy in Texas, Cirilo Castillo, was ar-rested for the second time in three months for having sex with the same horse, Na-dia. “Here is my question: if he and the horse become engaged,” pondered Argus Hamilton, “who gets the bridle shower?” Hamilton continued, “People are really upset about this; when it comes to having sex with horses there are a lot of neigh-sayers.” Exasperated park offi cials in Death Val-ley, Calif. have appealed to visitors on Fa-cebook to stop testing the cliche that it is so hot there that you can fry eggs on the ground. As temperatures near the all-time high of 56.7˚ this week, the valley is lit-tered with runny eggs, shells and cartons from hundreds of failed experiments. A Texas couple came home from vaca-tion to fi nd an empty lot where their house once stood. A contractor in Fort Worth, Texas, sent to demolish the condemned house next door instead mistakenly de-stroyed David Underwood’s home, which has been in his family for decades. The contractor mistook the house for the con-demned one because it was also vacant with no electricity. Underwood and his wife had just purchased his grandmother’s old house from his aunt and planned to move in after some renovations. Diners in a new ‘‘restaurant’’ in Brus-sels, Belgium can only hope their order is correct before it is time to tuck in. Dinner in the Sky accommodates 22 guests, seated at a table on a platform suspended from a crane 45 metres above the ground, making it tough to summon your waiter.

Neighbourly advice

according to Ed

–– a spiritual column by contributor Raymond Maher

I hope you had the chance to enjoy July as it has disappeared as quick-ly as it arrived. Now that August has taken over, the CFL is in full swing and the NFL is not far behind. I will get right down to my CFL picks before I forget. In my last column I took a stab at a few weeks and took who I thought would come out on top.

After a good start to the season it was a rough road during week two; however, something rare happened in week three: I went an astonishing four for four with my picks! Thanks to Brendan Manz for tweet-ing that out during my holidays. I had no idea I was even remotely close, nor did I think I would get all the games right.

After the surprising week three, the fourth installment had me take Toronto, Montreal, B.C. and Saskatchewan. The results from that proved once again to be on the winning side of the brack-

et, going three for four. Perhaps 2013 is the year in which I can fi gure this thing out or at least fi nd myself with a winning record.

Off to week fi ve and once again a similar result. An-other three for four outing as I took Calgary, Saskatch-ewan and Toronto to win with my only incorrect pick being Edmonton over Montreal.

I also made my week six picks, which occurred over the long-weekend. There were just two games and I went with Hamilton over Edmonton and Winnipeg upsetting B.C.

Excluding my week six picks, my overall record for the year is 14 out of 20 correct. Surprised? I am. I think it took me probably 10 weeks to hit 14 right last year and not fi ve. I will take it and hopefully it will continue, al-though I am not holding my breath.

Moving to week seven, the teams with a bye last week are on the slate. Game one Thursday has Montreal - which fi red its coach fi ve games into the season - home to Toronto and then Friday Saskatchewan visits Calgary in Alberta. I decided to take a shot at Anthony Calvillo and Montreal to take down the mighty Argos. General manager Jim Popp returns to the sidelines and could give Montreal a spark. They are due to get a win here. Saskatchewan and Calgary will be a great matchup as the Stampeders have just one loss while the ‘Riders take their 5-0 record out west.

I am not going against the green and white but it will be a tough game. The offense is rolling and has put up 39, 36, 39, 37 and 32 points in each of its fi rst fi ve contests. If it can continue to do that and the defense plays a decent game, the team should get past Calgary. The Stamps have injuries at quarterback but have shown that it doesn’t matter right now as each pivot has fi lled in nicely when called upon. It will be a treat to watch this Friday con-test.

If you are not a ‘Rider fan I apologize for fi lling up this column with a lot of fanfare regarding them but you have to admit, they are playing some good football. The big question, of course, is will it last? I sure hope so. The team has all the weapons on both sides of the ball to be successful, which has been evident so far in this campaign.

Special teams have been stellar with Bob Dyce taking over from Craig Dickenson, while offensive coordinator George Cortez’s schemes and plays are unreal. My vote for the team’s MVP is not a player on the fi eld but Cortez on the sidelines. He has constructed a phenomenal play book and the players have bought into it. The offensive line also should be getting a ton of credit right now as they have allowed runningback Kory Sheets to run wild on opponents. Sheets is on pace to break the CFL single-season rushing record and, if he continues to accumu-late the yards, will march past 2,000 yards no problem.

Quarterback Darian Durant is also having a bench-mark year with no interceptions so far and 12 touchdown tosses. While a lot can be said of both of those player’s talents, the offensive line has done a tremendous job of protecting both while opening holes for Sheets to fl oat through.

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

Tiger-Cats no match for high-powered

‘Riders■ Daniel BushmanThe Watrous Manitou August 5, 2013

In a tale of two clubs eyeing a trip to the post-season later this year, it was the Saskatchewan Roughriders who pounced on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats during the home-and-home series. Trying to scratch four points from each oth-er during the back-to-back visits, the green and white put its undefeated streak on the line against a for-mer coach and player Kent Austin.

The two-time Grey Cup winner with Saskatch-ewan now patrols the op-position’s sidelines and so far the 2013 campaign has not been what he perhaps thought. Austin and the Tiger-Cats headed west to Regina July 21 where the injury-plagued crew hit the turf against the CFL’s top team.

It took until the second quarter when the fi rst points of the game were registered off the foot of kicker Chris Milo. Lead-ing 3-0 off a short fi eld goal attempt, Saskatchewan’s

Craig Butler then inter-cepted a Henry Burris pass in the endzone.

With a strong wind at their backs, the green and white tried to engineer a successful drive. With just over seven minutes re-maining in the half, Milo hit a 47-yard fi eld goal at-tempt to get the home team ahead 6-0.

As the clock ticked down, ‘Rider quarterback Darian Durant started fi nding his groove. With four minutes left in the fi rst half, he fl ung a 30-yard toss to Rob Bagg who freed himself up in the endzone to make it 12-0.

With an added convert, the team got the ball back after the Tiger-Cats were forced to punt. Thanks to the wind, the ‘Riders re-ceived good fi eld position and from the Ti-Cat 35-yard line, Bagg made a couple of receptions, making way for another Milo fi eld goal.

That ended the opening two quarters and Saskatch-ewan headed into the third with the lead.

Hamilton was unable to generate any type of offense with the wind at

its back and was forced to make way for the ‘Rid-ers. On second down and 16, Durant found Geroy Simon for a big gain. Si-mon who made his ‘Rider regular season debut had a pair of catches in the contest. On the same drive, Durant rolled out on a play action call to fi nd guard Dan Clark wide open in the endzone. Clark who caught

his fi rst career touchdown reception helped his team get out to a 23-0 lead.

In the fourth and with the wind, Durant went deep after Bagg turned on the jets for a 60-yard touch-down reception.

Runningback Kory Sheets, on pace to a record-setting year, took over and began racking up yards on

Local faces at Canada Games

Judo hit the national stage as over 600 entrants headed west to compete last month. Of those, a hand-ful were local competitors who, according to Judo Saskatchewan, also found themselves capturing some awards at the awards ban-quet earlier this year.

The Apr. 27 awards event held in Moose Jaw included Nicole Dyck and Emily Schaan where they won the U21 female athlete of the year; Warren Seib won the senior male athlete of the year; Nicole Dyck won the Spirit of Judo award while Mike Clarke was a nomi-nee. Watrous Ju-No-Ri was one of the nominees for club of the year.

Meanwhile, 32 members from Judo Saskatchewan took part in the 2013 Cana-

Judo athletes roll west

dian National Champion-ships in Richmond, B.C. July 4 to 7. Attracting over 600 entries, the event also featured some familiar faces from Ju-No-Ri in Wa-trous.

According to Judo Sask, July 5 in the senior wom-en’s -63kg division Emily Schaan had one win, two losses and placed fi fth. Ni-cole Dyck competed in the senior women’s -70kg divi-sion and had a pair of loss-es to fi nish fi fth. Warren Seib competed in the senior men -73 kg division and had a win and two losses, plac-ing ninth.

None of the local crew competed July 6 but on July 7, Schaan was in the under 21 female -63kg category and had two wins and a loss, placing second. Dyck was in the under 21 female -57kg category and had two wins and a loss for third place.

The fi rst shutout since Labour Day last season had Durant go 20 for 32 for 347 yards and four scores. Sheets carried the ball 24 times for 130 yards while Bagg had a pair of ma-jors to go along with fi ve catches for 125 yards. Rey Williams led the defense with two sacks against his former team as the green and white tallied fi ve on the day.

After blanking the Ti-ger-Cats at home, the re-match was set in Guelph,

■ submitted by coach Morris Sokul/Wynyard Four members from the Watrous pee wee baseball team (Owen Hicks, Sam Pill-ing, Treyl Ernst and Drayson Snell) com-bined with nine members of the Wynyard Blues to challenge for the Provincial A title hosted in Martensville July 19 to 21. The Blues opened the tournament Friday morning versus the Saskatoon Blue Jay Bashers. It was the Blues bats that did the bashing after a quick one-two-four fi rst in-ning for Wynyard’s starting pitcher Rylan Sokul. Five of the Blues fi rst six batters crossed the plate to give Wynyard an early 5-0 lead. Jackson Holmquist provided the one pitch needed to shut down Saska-toon in the top half of the second. The Blues then added four more runs to take a commanding 9-0 lead into the third. Hol-mquist mowed down the Jays in the third allowing the Blues to bring out the lum-ber one more time. Six runs were added to make the fi nal score 15-0 after 3 1/2 in-nings (10 run mercy rule). Dalton Lindal, Ryan Tarry, Rylan Sokul were all three for three, while Owen Hicks was a per-fect two for two. Dalton Riess, Sam Pilling and Carson Froehlich were two for three. This was the fi rst game together for the combined team as rain had wiped out a previously scheduled double header with Yorkton. The boys then went off to enjoy some team bonding at Mars Mini Golf in Saskatoon before indulging in a potluck supper. Opening ceremonies at 6:30 p.m. were followed by the team skills competi-tion. It must be duly noted that Drayson out hit coach Holmquist in the home run competition. Other events included base running (four players), a four player cut off drill and a fi ve player relay throw. A wiener roast ended day one activities. The Blues were back at it early (8 a.m.) Saturday morning versus the Yorkton Cardinals. The Blues sent 16 batters to the plate in the top of the fi rst, jumping out to a commanding 11-0 lead. The Cardinals responded with three runs in the bottom half of the fi rst off of Carson Froehlich who unexpectedly became the starting pitching for the Blues. Froehlich com-pleted the second leaving the game due to pitch count with a 17-4 lead. Dalton Riess came in to sit down the Cardinals one-two-three in the third and the Blues cruised to a 23-5 victory in four innings. This vic-tory seeded Wynyard fi rst in pool A giv-ing them a one game bye in the nine-team tournament. The Lumsden Cubs won pool B and the Unity Cardinals won pool C. Playoffs began with second place teams competing against third place teams to eliminate three teams. A random lottery draw was conducted sending Wynyard to

Ont. July 27. Because of the construction of a new stadium, the Tiger-Cats are playing at the Univer-sity of Guelph this year and with rainy weather the team was hoping to re-spond to its drumming the previous week.

In the second game, quarterback Drew Willy made his fi rst start of the season for Saskatchewan in favour of Durant whose foot was in a walking boot earlier in the week.

Avenging its loss, Ham-ilton got a 10-5 jump on the green and white but Willy responded, going deep to future hall-of-famer Simon as he got his fi rst touch-down as a Roughrider.

Down 12-10 in the second quarter, Hamilton tried to knock on the door as Bur-ris threw a deep toss of his own, which was caught in the endzone for a score.

The ‘Riders responded thanks to Sheets who bust-ed through the line with a 20-yard gain. Willy rolled

out to his left where Chris Getzlaf made a nice catch and move against a defend-er to get his third major of the season.

Later in the fi rst half, Simon hauled in another catch mid-fi eld, taking it to the Tiger-Cats 25-yard line. Willy then threw down the middle to Dressler and the speedy receiver scored un-touched. With three touch-down passes in the fi rst half, the ‘Riders led 26-17.

In the third quarter, the green and white defense stepped up with a few quar-terback sacks as did Sheets who ended the day with 25 carries for 140 yards.

The team continued to press and, with a couple of fi eld goals by Milo, won its fi fth in a row 32-20 to re-main the only undefeated team in the league.

Willy ended the day 14 for 25 with 269 yards through the air to get his fi rst win behind centre. The team’s top receiver was Simon who hauled

in fi ve receptions for 125 yards and one touch-down. Defensively, Terrius George registered three of the seven quarterback sacks along with a forced fumble. Kicker Chris Milo was three for three in the fi eld goal department.

Hamilton’s Burris was 26 for 41 for 395 yards and two touchdowns while three players registered

one sack each on defense.With a bye last week,

the Saskatchewan-based team heads west to Cal-gary where it faces a tough 4-1 Stampeders team Aug. 9.

Heading into the match-up, Durant has passed for 1,021 yards with 12 touchdowns and no in-terceptions. Sheets is the CFL’s top rusher with 712

yards, 211 yards ahead of Calgary’s Jon Cornish. Dressler leads the club in receiving yards with 319 and has three touchdowns. Williams is the team’s sack leader with six and is fi rst in tackles with 21. Paul Woldu is fi rst with nine special teams’ tackles.

The ‘Riders return home to welcome 2-3 Mon-treal Aug. 17.

Watrous/Wynyard attend pee wee provincialspool E with Unity and Kindersley. Game three would see Wynyard go head to head with Unity. Both teams de-cided to go for it bringing out their strong-est arms. Wynyard turned to Drayson Snell while Unity countered with Tanner Huber. Unity opened with a solid single and a soft infi eld single to begin the game. Drayson mowed down the third batter but a single off the glove of the second base-man allowed two unearned runs to score putting the Blues down 2-0 after the fi rst half inning. Wynyard’s batters would be exposed to heat for the fi rst time in three weeks and were unfortunately mowed down one-two-three to end the fi rst. Dray-son shut down Unity in the second before cracking a solid single to start a potential Blues rally in the second. This rally ended quickly as he was gunned down steal-ing second by a picture perfect throw by the Unity catcher. The Cardinals lead 2-0 after two. The third inning saw Drayson mow down the Cardinals one-two-three in succession, but unfortunately, the last out was not to be due to a pass ball that al-lowed Unity’s number two batter to reach fi rst safely. A walk, a single and a single that ended up being a double due to an er-ror gave Unity three more unearned runs and a commanding 5-0 lead. Providing good teams like Unity an extra out is not the formula to success. More importantly 20 extra pitches were added to Drayson’s pitch count. One innocent little blunder became the game story. Unity got one more run in the top of the fourth after a triple was followed by a 6-2 ground ball. Once again, Wynyard’s bats had no pop in their half of the fourth. Snell was forced to leave the game due to pitch count with two outs in the top of the fi fth and he was replaced by Ryan Tarry. Tarry did an excellent job, but Unity add-ed one more run to lead 7-0. Wynyard’s bats fi nally came alive in the bottom of the fi fth. Ryan Tarry’s single was followed by Drayson Snell’s RBI double. Drayson scored seconds later when Sokul singled, but unfortunately, Sokul was thrown out at second by a perfect throw from right fi eld. This was another TSN turning point as it defl ated the rally and the fi fth ended 7-2 in Unity’s favour. Unity looked to add to their lead in the top half of the sixth loading up the bases with one out. A liner down the third base line was snagged by Sokul who then out dove the base runner back to third for the inning ending double play. Unity’s starter had enough gas to mow down Wynyard’s eighth, ninth and 10th batters in order to end the game. It is very rare to have a pee wee pitcher com-plete an entire game, but that is exactly

what Unity got out of their starter. It was a very entertaining game and outstanding performance to say the least. Unity played fl awless baseball showing why they were one of the favourites to claim the provin-cial title going into the nine-team tourna-ment. The Blues would now need to beat Kin-dersley and hope for some help from the baseball gods. The Kindersley game was scheduled to go at 9 a.m. Sunday. Mother Nature however had other plans. The rains came fl ooding the diamonds. Wyn-yard and Watrous parents and coaches be-came part of the grounds crew trying to help get the diamonds into playing condi-tion. After three hours of delay, Wynyard fi nally took to the fi eld sending Jackson Holmquist to the mound. The Royals took advantage of a hit batsman and two sin-gles to jump out 2-0. The Blues responded with a Dalton Lindal single and a Riess walk. Ryan Tarry then hit into a double play scoring Lindal. A double by Drayson Snell was followed by a triple by Rylan Sokul to tie the game at two after one. Kindersley played small ball to a tee in the second taking advantage of the condi-tions and fi elding errors to take a huge 5-2 lead. The Blues did not respond in their bottom half. Holmquist got some defen-sive help to get through the third when a

lead off runner was gunned down at third by Wynyard’s centre fi elder. Lindal, Riess and Sokul scored to tie the game at fi ve. Kindersley quickly restored their three run lead (8-5) with a single sandwiched between two triples. The Blues could only get one run in the bottom of the fourth to make the score 8-6. Sokul came in to shut down the Royals in the fi fth and sixth in-nings. The Blues had runners on fi rst and second with one out, but got an important out at second on a fi elder’s choice. With runners at fi rst and third, the Blues tried to execute a hit and run but the hit was neatly fi elded by the Royal’s second base-man, who subsequently ended the game with the out at fi rst. The 8-6 loss eliminat-ed the Blues from this year’s tournament. No, a provincial title did not result, but hopefully a lifetime of memories and friendships will be the ultimate prize that arises from this year’s provincial experi-ences. It was great for two different com-munities to unite in a common cause and to allow kids to extend the short baseball season and share the experience of com-peting at a provincial level of competition. It was fun to coach a team of boys who all share a love for baseball and who were willing to utilize their individual skill strengths to help their teammates suc-ceed.

It is hard to believe July is done. Summer goes by so fast. The weather has not been really warm with the odd shower of rain. Ken and I took our an-nual tour of Saskatch-ewan a couple weeks ago. We started in Saskatoon, headed south and over to Yorkton. Crops looked good everywhere. We even outran a bad storm that did hail damage in Regina. Ken and I spent last weekend in Spruce Home visiting Lori and Randy Hoover. The highway to their place from Prince Albert is still under water so makes for a long de-tour. Sunday, we ended up at Christopher Lake for a wiener roast and a relax-ing afternoon watching all the boats on the lake. Carl and Mernie Ped-ersen, Shaun Mooney and Gord Carpenter, Steph, Jeremy, Sean and Alissa Nimchuk went to Fort Sas-katchewan, Alta. to attend

Digging in for a good cause

Sue AlcockManitou Beach

Happy August everyone.Firstly, sincere condolences from our community

are extended to the family of Margorie Cline on the recent passing of her father Peter who farmed at Zelma and enjoyed many summer visits here at the summer cottage.

Steve Schmidt has done a grand job of building the new Manitou Beach sign located between the golf course and Wenonah Dr. - on the curve of the hill. It is so big that you cannot miss it. There are plans afoot to attach a Manitou Beach sign to the new structure. Manitou Beach Communities in Bloom raised the funds for this new addition to the village.

The pillar of four columns and roof on the left side of the new sign commemorate the pair of much earlier pillars that were blown down in the horrendous July 1976 windstorm - the same storm that blew down many trees in Wellington Park and generally wreaked havoc in many places. I have been looking for a photo of the original pillars, one located on either side of the highway, but unable to fi nd one. Does anyone have one stashed away? The Watrous-Manitou Beach Heritage

Centre would enjoy access to such a picture. Prairie Refl ections has pictures of the pillars. Are there any more out there? Does anyone out there know when the original pillars were erected? Please let me know.

Aug. 4 was the Communities in Bloom (CIB) garden and deck tour. Refreshments and passports were available at the gazebo in Wellington Park.

The CIB bingos are going very well with 50 to 70 folks attending the past several weeks. There are now two loonie pots, unless they have been won by the time you read this.

Three more Communities in Bloom memorial benches have been put in place. One is in the regional park by Camp Easter Seal and people are invited to “now rest and be thankful” as they admire the gorgeous sunsets we get here and two more will be placed in Wellington Park. They are in memory of the Austin sisters who used to live here.

There is a new business here as John Shairp has opened his antique shop next door to the Lakeside Country Inn. The building has cedar shakes and sits behind a

MANITOU BEACHa row of lovely mature evergreens.

The planters at the golf course look quite stunning and it is worthwhile going there to see them even if you do not golf and the restaurant is open.

On a positive note, 91 1/2 year young Helen Teale thoroughly enjoyed dancing at Danceland July 13, as did yours truly, new hips and all.

There were moans and groans about the odor here around July 12. Opinions varied as to the cause of the smell - perhaps the hog farm, perhaps the blue-green al-gae mixed with brine shrimp, perhaps grey waste being trucked in from the BHP Billiton workers town site to

13082MC00

our lagoons, perhaps some of everything. The offi cial word here is that the algae was the culprit and thank-fully not for very long as it diminished signifi cantly in a day or so. Staff at Manitou Springs reported that visi-tors there made no complaints about the lake odor. Many years ago we passed through Cheadle in England and would have stopped to explore, but due to a strong agri-cultural stench we kept on driving and continue to share that story of the stinky town with family and friends. The stench is how we remember that particular place.

Chatting with a visitor from Edmonton I asked her what her impressions were of Watrous and Manitou Beach. I ex-pected to hear her say “It’s lovely, especially the lake” but she was here for just a few weekdays and was dismayed so many businesses were closed or access poorly published. She wondered how/why the area was being promoted for

tourism when places were not open for visitors. She then listed where she had not been able to visit and she may well have a valid point. I have heard a few others comment about poor public relations at various places here. Then she com-mented about the lack of things to do on rainy days - perhaps the hotels and motels should have family-type board games available for visitors to borrow and pass the time. She was thinking of snakes and ladders, Scrabble, dominoes etc. It turned out she had been employed in the managerial side of the service industry for many years. Food for thought.

This request is on behalf of the Watrous-Manitou Beach Heritage Centre. Does anyone have a copy of Venn Vignettes so it can be scanned onto the website? Please. I understand it was compiled a long time ago.

This is all for now. A huge thank you to all who have contacted me with news etc. Sue.

July 22 Viscount Rec Board 13th annual golf tournament was held at Lanigan Golf and Country Club June 23. There were 27 golfers divid-ed into seven teams. Right before and part way into the tournament, they were hit with a little bit of rain, but as the day went on the rain cleared and they had great weather conditions for the rest of the day. Some of the prizes, generously donated from sponsors and local businesses, were handed out before the deli-cious supper including the men’s longest drive won by Pat Clavelle, the men’s clos-est to the pin won by Mike

Cowan and the women’s longest drive and clos-est to the pin both won by Rachelle Leffl er. Keith and Mary Bird drove to Regina July 13 to attend the 85th annual gath-ering of the Past Grand Matrons and Past Grand Patrons of Saskatchewan, Order of the Eastern Star. This year is Keith’s silver anniversary of joining this group. Keith says how quick that 25 years gone by. There are 50 members, but several are in the hospital, others are attending family weddings; so only about 20 were present for the meal and meeting. Congrats on your silver anniversary

Keith! Congrats also to John and Karen Dale as they have a new grandson. Born to Trevor and Shandi July 13, a boy, Royce Armand. Congrats also to Trevor and Shandi. John and Carol Witko-wicz of Viscount celebrated their 50th wedding anniver-sary July 6 at Viscount Cen-tral School gymnasium. About 120 relatives and friends gathered to cele-brate with them. The next day John and Carol host-ed about 50 relatives and friends at their place for brunch. Home to celebrate with them were their chil-dren and grandchildren. Congrats John and Carol!July 29 We were driving home Sunday, July 21 and ran into a storm between Plun-

kett and Viscount. The water seemed like it was pooling on the highway as we drove. Lucky that it was just a heavy downpour! Congrats to Gord and Joan Gress who celebrated their 40th wedding anniver-sary Sunday, July 21.Aug. 5 Visiting at the home of John and Karen Dale on the weekend were her cous-ins Cheryl and husband George from Sydney, N.S.

THE WATROUS MANITOU • MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2013 • 17

PUBLIC NOTICEThe Operations and Engineering Division of SaskWater will be treating the Saskatoon Southeast Water Supply System (SSEWS) canal between the Blackstrap and Zelma Reservoirs to control weeds and algae during the 2013 irrigation season. Treatment dates are May 14, May 28, June 11, June 25, July 9, July 23, August 7, August 20 and September 4, 2013.

The canal between the Zelma and Dellwood Reservoirs will be treated for the same reason on May 15, May 29, June 12, June 26, July 10, July 24, August 8, August 21 and September 5, 2013.

The chemical Magnacide “H” with its active ingredient “Acrolein”, will be noticeable in the water by its offensive odour.

The canal flow rate may be lowered during treatment so that less chemical will be required. The chemical will remain active in the canal for approximately 24 hours after each treatment, and will diminish to non-detectable levels prior to treated water entering the reservoirs. Area residents are warned that chemically treated water is not to be used for drinking during this 24-hour period. Treated water may also be harmful to the skin, causing irritation to exposed areas.

Dosages will be maintained at a level where the water can safely be used for irrigation with no damage to field crops.

People are reminded that swimming in the canal at any time is STRICTLY PROHIBITED; swimming in treated water may cause skin irritation.

Magnacide “H” can kill fish by suffocation, but it does not accumulate in fish flesh. Fishing in the canal is not permitted.

This water treatment ensures irrigation intakes are free from clogging and adequate flows are maintained in this multi-use system.

Since no other feasible alternative exists to control the growth of weeds in canals, they are best controlled with this short-lived, widely-used, registered chemical.

Peak time for West Nile asforecast calls for warmer weather■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou August 5, 2013

A timely reminder to stay protected and be aware come from Entomologist and West Nile coordinator for the province Phil Curry who said the second generation of culex tarsalis, the mosquito that can carry West Nile, is almost fully out. The mosquito is searching for a meal in southern areas of the province and could soon be com-ing out in the Watrous regions.

“The numbers are low to moderate,” said Curry. “But they are expected to increase in the coming weeks.”

Curry said as summer progresses the nuisance mos-quitos die off and the culex tarsalis becomes the more dominant pest in the last part of July and early August.

However, this year, cooler weather is having an effect on the population as it slows development of the larvae in the water and depresses the biting and egg laying ac-tivity at night.

“This mosquito really isn’t that active when tempera-tures drop below 15˚C. Because it is a night active mos-quito, it usually reaches its peak around 11 p.m. But by that time the temperatures have been quite low so they don’t tend to be active when temperatures are like this.”

Once the weather warms up, Curry warns the culex tarsalis will become more active. A total of fi ve positive mosquito pools have been identifi ed in the southern part of the province but Curry said a few more positive pools should start showing up in the next couple of weeks. Three birds have also tested positive for West Nile.

Historically now is the high period and even though the risk is relatively low, when the temperatures warm up, “We are still advising people to be concerned with the West Nile virus.”

Curry encourages people to cover up and wear repel-

lents that can combat the mosquito. He also encourages people to eliminate any habitat containing standing wa-ter that can be there for more than a week. “These mos-quitos will lay their eggs and, of course, if they hatch out they will bite birds and bite you.”

While residents of the prairies keep an eye out for the culex tarsalis, there are other pests that can contract dis-eases patrolling the continent.

While not found in Saskatchewan yet, Curry said the Aedes Japonicus or the Asian rock pool mosquito and Aedes Albopictus or the Asian Tiger mosquito were both introduced several years ago in the United States. Now increasing in many areas throughout the U.S., Curry said the southern parts of Quebec and Ontario have also had low numbers detected. While the Aedes Albopictus is more southern, the Aedes Iaponicus can adapt to cool-er conditions and has been found further north.

“We are just waiting to see if this mosquito is found in Saskatchewan and the prairies.” Curry said both are capable of carrying several diseases and Aedes Japoni-cus can also carry West Nile. “These are very aggressive mosquitos,” said Curry who added it was thought they came to the continent on tankers in used tires that had water collecting in them.

Ships dropped off the tires in the United States and then the mosquitos hatched and started developing.

“It is not something that happened yesterday, but they are expanding their range throughout the U.S. and of course we are concerned in Saskatchewan because . . . we wouldn’t want to see two or three vectors of mosqui-tos with West Nile (here).”

Fun inthe sunWhile August is supposed to bring warmer temperatures,it will also bring more activity for the mosquitos that can carry West Nile.Remember to cover upand wear repellent to fi ght off mosquitos. - Daniel Bushman/TWM

OBITUARYGOURLAY,

Edwin The family is very saddened to announce Edwin Gourlay, aged 83 years, of St. Mary’s Villa, Humboldt, Sask. passed away at his residence on Monday, July 22, 2013. Edwin was born on September 8, 1929 to Clifford and Marion (nee Weston) Gourlay in Ingersoll, Ont. He obtained his education at Thamesford, Ont. At the age of 14, Edwin, fondly known as Buck, took a train to Saskatchewan to obtain employment, which he found in Renown as a farm labourer. He thoroughly fell in love with Western Canada. Buck found the people to be very friendly and provided excellent meals. His favourite time on the farm was threshing. On one of the neighbouring farms, Buck met Elsie Ba-now and on April 24, 1948 he married Elsie. Together they were blessed with six children and made their home at Manitou Beach. Buck did a variety of jobs that involved hand-ling heavy duty equipment. For a period he worked with the Department of Highways and this allowed family time when the children could come along and camp and enjoy a summer vacation. Buck had a passion for horses and raced chuck wagon and later chariot with his daughter Edwina. Many people were accustomed to only seeing his back during a race as he usually was in the front winning many trophies. Buck and Edwina made a good racing team winning many chariot races for 15 years. Buck was fortunate to win a trophy for the oldest rider. In 1994 Buck and Elsie retired to Humboldt where Buck became an avid gardener - potatoes being his specialty. He was kept busy keeping his daughter Linda’s garden in immaculate shape. Another love was chopping wood, which kept him busy and in shape physically. Buck loved to visit and have coffee, keeping up on the local news. He also followed his grandchildren and their activities. Due to failing health in 2009, Buck moved to St. Mary’s Villa where he resided until his passing. Buck will be sadly missed and loving remembered by his wife of 65 years, Elsie Gour-lay; fi ve children, 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren: Michael (Barb) Gour-lay of Humboldt and family Pamela (Jack) and children, Kyle, Ramone and Mykaella, Charlene (Brendin) and their daughter Janeese and Justin; Linda (Scott) Ewen of Hum-boldt and family, Arlee (Tom) and their children Austin, Emilee and Holly, Jeremiah (Karen), Cameron (Heather) and Kaylee (Kris); Donna (Roch) Boisvert of Leduc, Alta. and family Corey (Brandy) and children Madison and Brooklyn, Crystal and family Chackquick, Brandon and Aiden; Edwina Gourlay of Jansen and son Billy Gourlay and family Dawson, Taryn and Cohen; and Patti (Dale) Wasylciw of Saskatoon/Watrous; sis-ter Berniece (Allan) Borland of Thamesford, Ont.; sisters-in-law Josie Mayor of Port Alberni, B.C., Diane (Rick) Gosse of Devon, Alta. and Sara Banow of Melville and by numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Clifford and Marion Gourlay; son Bruce; brothers-in-law Bill Banow, Edward Banow and his in-laws Mike and Emily Banow. Funeral service was held at Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home on July 24 con-ducted by Jenny Irwin. Interment followed at Humboldt Public Cemetery. Memorial donations directed to St. Mary’s Villa Foundation would be appreciated. Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home of Humboldt was in care of arrangements.

HOLDNER,Alexander Jacob (AJ)

Alexander Holdner, aged 25 years, passed away at Saskatoon on Wednesday, July 10, 2013. AJ attended school in Young. He loved growing up on a farm. He loved the freedom, family pets, animals and the chance to get his hands on machinery. His number one passion was working on his current vehicle, whether it needed it or not. Although impossible, given AJ’s challen-ges, all he wanted was to be like everybody else and have the same things as everybody. Everyone who knew AJ knew he loved to laugh, talk and would fi nd joy in the sim-plest things. Family was always important to AJ and he knew no matter what happened he had them to fall back

on. AJ lived in the moment, was loyal to a fault and never held a grudge. He will always be remembered for his smile that could light up the world. “AJ, your life was cut way too short. Be at peace and free of all the restrictions and challenges that life on earth placed upon you. You will be sorely missed and you will live on in our hearts forever.” AJ is survived by parents Wayne and Nancy, sister Melanie and brother Cory; grand-mother Irene Holdner; aunts and uncles, Raelene Senger (Winnipeg, Man.), Judy and Herb Stretch (Spruce Groove, Alta.), Jean and Ray Dierker (Yorkton, Sask.), Gail Holdner (Cape Breton, N.S.), Sharry Melia (Aberdeen, Scotland) and numerous cousins and other relatives.

(nee Kirton) Eileen Pyper, aged 93 years, passed away in Toronto, Ont. on Mon-day, July 1, 2013. Eileen was born September 7, 1919 in Watrous, Sask. She grew up on the family farm in Saskatchewan then headed East to attend nursing school at Toronto General Hospital. She graduated in 1941 and worked in the operating room at Toronto General Hospital before joining the Army Medical Corps and serving overseas as a nursing sister during WWII. After the war she went back to school at McGill University for a certifi cate in public health.

She had a rewarding career as a public health nurse in London for many years. Eileen also had an active life

SPERLING,Sheldon

After a courageous bat-tle with cancer the family is saddened to announce that Sheldon Sperling, aged 44 years, of Humboldt passed away at St. Paul’s Hospital on Friday, July 26, 2013. Sheldon was born on April 12, 1969 to George and Lorraine (nee Schwebius) Sperling in Saskatoon, Sask. Sheldon took his edu-cation at Young, Sask. and was very active in all sports.

While on the family farm, he grew very attached to the ani-mals and had a great love for dogs. Upon graduating from high school, he went on to the U of S and obtained a phys. ed. degree and went on to complete his after degree in ele-mentary education. While at university, Sheldon played on the Huskie volleyball team that won nationals in the fi rst year. Shortly following his university graduation he began employment at the Colonsay Mosaic potash mine. While working at the mine, he also did some substitute teaching when scheduling permitted. He did both awhile and then focused on working at the mine where he completed one year in his apprenticeship as an electrician. Sheldon met Susan Puetz at a mutual friend’s wedding. They began dat-ing and after 5 1/2 years of dating, they were married at Assumption Church in Marysburg on November 16, 1996. They enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon to Quebec and On-tario. He was very excited to begin their family and soon they were blessed with three children. He was very active in his children’s lives, helping them with their homework and coaching many of their sporting teams. He turned all of his children into sports fanatics. As a family, they made many wonderful memories camping around the province with family and friends. Sheldon was an excellent cook, which Susan and their children always enjoyed. He was always willing to create their favourite dishes such as: homemade noodles, omelettes and his specialty “steak”. He was a very social person who loved to visit and make people laugh by telling jokes. His love for dogs continued in his adult life with his latest companion being Skittles. Family meant everything to Sheldon, his in-laws became like siblings and everyone was very special to him. Un-fortunately, in the spring of 2011 Sheldon was diagnosed with cancer. He fought the battle with a strong, positive outlook right to the end. Sheldon will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 16 years, Susan Sperling and their three chil-dren: Jessi, Jaymond and Abbie all of Humboldt; parents George and Lorraine Sperling of Young; two brothers and their families: Maurice (Shirley) Sperling of Saskatoon and family Christina Pambrun (Chad LaPointe) and children Taison and Bryken, Elaina (Scott) Thorsteinson and chil-dren Karis and Nixen; Terry (Brenda) Sperling of Young and family Tanner and Jaycee; parents-in-law Lyle and Irene Puetz; four brothers and sisters-in-law and their fam-ilies Russell (Joye) Puetz of Moose Jaw and family Dustin (Suzanne) Maslasz and Kayla (Caleb) Buckingham; Eric (Paulette) Puetz and family Cassidy and Shaelyn; Greg (Brenda) Puetz and family Jordan and Janelle and Steven (Darcy) Puetz and family Zade and Quinn all of Humboldt. He was predeceased by his maternal and paternal grandparents and by a brother in infancy Joseph Conrad Sperling. Prayer service was held July 30 conducted by Jenny Ir-win and a funeral mass was held July 31 celebrated by Fr. Ephraim Mensah. Both services were held at St. Augus-tine Roman Catholic Church in Humboldt. Interment followed at St. Augustine Roman Catholic Cemetery in Humboldt. Memorial donations directed to the Sperling Family Trust Fund (donations may be made at any Conexus Cred-it Union in Saskatchewan) would be appreciated. Malinoski & Danyluik Funeral Home of Humboldt was in care of arrangements.

outside of work, which included tennis, golf, bridge, travel and volun-teer work at First St. Andrew’s United Church, Kiwanis and the Lon-don Art Gallery. Eileen was the wife of the late John Pyper, mother of Anne (Rory), John (Sandi) and Jane (Kate), grandmother of Meagen, John, Jamie, Charlotte and Malcolm, sister of Glen (Lorna) and the late Lillian, Hugh and John. Funeral service was held at Fairlawn Avenue United Church, To-ronto on July 13. Memorial donations directed to the Registered Nurses’ Foundation of Ontario to support nursing scholarships (www.rnfoo.org or 7270 Woodbine Ave., Suite 204, Markham, Ont. L3R 4B9) or to First St. An-drew’s United Church, London, Ont. outreach programs (www.fsaunit-ed.com or 350 Queens Ave., London, Ont. N6B 1X6) would be appreci-ated.

THE WATROUS MANITOU • MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2013 • 23

Prairie portraits

A drive around the Watrous area provides numerous

opportunities to observe nature at its fi nest.

Components that remains constant are the vast fi elds

in which crops can be found and glimpses of a common

prairie traveller: trains. Backdrops like a barn, windmill,

or even something as simple as a fence can make the view

something to pause for. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM

24 • MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2013 • THE WATROUS MANITOU

Young andold alike

The annual car show in Watrous remains a huge hit with community

members and visitors from afar. One cannot help but believe a large part of its success is that the event

appeals to every generation. It is truly a family-friendly occasion, and once again Mother Nature smiled upon

the day. The day was a little cooler and windier than previous versions, but at

least it may have saved a few attendees from developing a sorching sunburn.

–– Daniel Bushman/TWM

The opportunity to positively change the world comes in many forms. For those seeking to help put an end to multiple sclerosis, it comes in part in the form of cyc-ling. 2013 MS Bike takes place in Watrous Aug. 17 and 18 at the Watrous Curling Rink. The MS Society is looking for area residents to take part, either as event participants or volunteers. “Area residents can make a difference in the event,” says MS Bike coordinator Kath-erine McCannel. “We need volunteers to work at rest and lunch stops, registration tables, and to help move equipment. If you want to help, we will fi nd a place for you! Or, help us at the fi nish line by cheering participants as they ride down the route.” Each year, the MS Society of Canada - SK Division hosts two MS Bike events. The events collectively raised over $450,000 in 2012 –– all of it collected by riders who also train their bodies for the challenging but fun ride. “The ride is for people of all skill levels,” says McCannel. “We encourage anyone who is interested to register and help us support people with MS in the province.” To fi nd out more about volunteering, contact Virginia Harper at 1-800-268-7582 or Virginia.Harper@mssociety.ca. To register, visit www.msbike.ca, or contact Katherine McCannel at 1-800-268-7583 or Katherine.McCannel@mssociety.ca.

ing a July 31 court date and were ordered to have no contact with Holdner’s family. In court July 31, McCamon was held in custody and will be appearing next Aug. 12. At Scott’s court date, he was ordered toappear again Sept. 5.

While Holdner’s life was taken, it is the memories that have remained. AJ’s father Wayne recalled his son helping him change an engine on a four wheel drive tractor as recently as a month ago.

“He was just grinning from ear to ear and that was exactly what he loved,” Wayne said. “He wanted to get his hands dirty, he wanted to help when he could.”

Wayne said AJ loved to lend a hand and when he had a job to do, he would do his best. “Bolts were fl ying, wrenches were moving. That was what AJ lived for. When I didn’t have something for him, then it was right back to his vehicle.”

The vehicle, his black Ford, was cleaned once a day and Wayne said his son enjoyed taking things apart if they did not sound right.

“His vehicle was all he worried about . . . it didn’t matter how his clothes looked, he was working on his truck.” Wayne said that was when his son was in his glory and always talked about what he would do next with his truck.

AJ’s mother Nancy said he loved music, action movies and video games and as a kid used to spend hours in the sandbox playing with Tonka toys and toy farm equipment. He also formed a special bond with the family’s pet Jack Russell Terrier named Zeus.

Nancy said AJ really liked working and helping people even if it was something like shovelling grain. “Anything that made him feel useful and kept him moving . . . his mind was always in high gear.”

“When he was younger he had to go,” Wayne agreed. “Whether it was playing with his siblings or on his own, he would just go.”

Once, on a camping trip with friends,

both parents recalled AJ and the boys covering themselves with the muck in the water. “There wasn’t much white showing on those boys except for maybe their teeth from their smiles and the whites of their eyes,” Nancy said. “It was pretty enter-taining watching them; they were having a lot of fun.”

Nancy also said AJ was on a special, re-stricted diet because of Phenylketonuria (PKU) - an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder. Because of that diet, she said AJ would get creative in the meals he made as an adult. “There was a point in time where he thought maybe he wanted to be a chef. His ambitions were to be a chef or a mechanic.”

However, Nancy said dealing with meat sort of turned him off that career because he never ate it.

Wayne said through his years AJ never meant anybody harm, he “just sometimes didn’t know where the line was because he was so busy all the time. He was a charac-ter in that sense and always had a smile.”

“Anybody who knew him, I think he probably taught them a lot of lessons about life,” said Nancy.
