Nutrien included:

• Agrium fourth quarter earnings from continuing

• PotashCorp fourth quarter adjusted earnings of $0.06

born, his dad Don was TWM - October 27, 1977
working for the RCMP
so the family moved
to Melfort for one year
where Ryan took Kin-

manently moving back
to Watrous.
Renee (nee Shantz)
grew up on a farm be-
tween Watrous and
Guernsey, attending
school in Guernsey,
Lanigan, and Caron-
port.
Following high school, Ryan worked in various positions at Mainline
Motors for 16 years and then he and Renee had a chance to purchase
Success RVs in January of 2014. "We have just finished off our fourth
year in business and have really enjoyed being in business in Watrous.
The strong support we have received from Watrous and the surrounding
communities has been excellent. The support from the area as we grow
our business combined with great schools and town facilities make us very
thankful to live and raise our kids in Watrous."
Ryan and Renee have three girls, Kellie (7), Amy (6), and Mia (5). Ry-
an's dad and his sister Julie and her family live in Watrous while Renee’s
mom Betty and her brother Cory are only 15 miles away. "We are lucky to
have most of our family right in the area."
When Ryan and Renee are not at work, the Campbell family enjoys
camping, skiing, and when time allows, riding motorcycles. "Renee and I
also both enjoy playing rec hockey in the winter."

Dozens of cities across Eastern Canada had their
warmest September and October on record.

For some places, Sept. 25 was the hottest day of the
year and the hottest fall day on record, with peaks be-
tween 30° and 35°C. Everywhere you looked there were
full patios, people strolling in the sun and crowded
beaches without lifeguards.

farmers harvesting crops and vintners picking grapes.

To everyone’s dismay, the fall heat wave finally came
to an end Sept. 27 when a cold front swept across the
south and brought a much cooler air mass to the region.

and early April, the “soft winter” turned hard.

TWM Around the World

In this week’s TWM Around the World, Shawna Hanson, Shane McCullum and Beth and
Dylan Schmidt (above) headed for the slopes in Kimberley, B.C.While waiting in line for the
chair lift, they pulled out a paper to catch up on the local news from back home. Meanwhile,
Kelvin Fellner and Mel Airey (right) grabbed a TWM and headed to Las Vegas. During their
time in Vegas, they also caught up on events from back home by reading the paper.Thanks for
