About the Farm View Publisher

Roslyn Watkins became publisher/owner of the Farm View newspaper in April of 2020. She is proud to continue the excellent reputation of the Farm View newspaper that her father, John Beischer, built since 1977.

Roslyn is a family-oriented, community-minded person who has long been involved in volunteering within Springwater Township. Over the years, she and her husband, Shawn, along with their three children, have contributed their time and energy to many local initiatives. Roslyn and Shawn previously coached soccer and baseball together and were active members of the Anten Mills Community Recreation Association, where they helped organize numerous community events in Anten Mills. That spirit of involvement continues today, as they remain actively engaged in supporting their community.

Shawn was a volunteer firefighter with Springwater Township and works full time at Georgian College. Roslyn had been an active member of the Minesing Public School parent council while her children attended and volunteered extensively by reading in classrooms, assisting teachers, and organizing fundraising events.

In her free time, Roslyn enjoys snowboarding with her family during the colder months and spending warmer seasons camping, enjoying beach days, and gardening. Her year-round passion is cooking and sharing quality time with family and friends.
