There are about 130 of them. This was really important to me because it’s not just about the board now; there are all these people before us who made the festival the success it is now. It’s important to appreciate that.” Along with cultural dances, music and entertainment, the festival offers Ukrainian food and an artisan market with art pieces from across Canada. Vesna is recognized as one of Canada’s biggest and longestrunning Ukrainian festivals. Shynkaruk-Adamko moved to Baltimore in 1999, then to Edmonton, and back to Saskatoon in 2012. She was involved in the Ukrainian communities everywhere she moved, but says there is something
special about the Saskatoon brand of Ukrainian spirit. “It was never the same. I was always kind of waiting for that Vesna experience, that Saskatoon Ukrainian community, and it never happened,” said Shynkaruk-Adamko. “So it was interesting for me to see that it’s not like this everywhere. Obviously, I’m biased a little bit because I grew up here, so it’s my Ukrainian family. But the organization level here, the camaraderie and the event are all second to none.” The Reunion to Remember Vesna Festival will take place on Saturday, May 11, at TCU Place. Doors open and entertainment begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are rush seating. Adults are $30, plus service charges, youth ages 13 to 18 are $15, and children 12 and under are free.

The
Maple Leafs forever
Teacher incorporated hockey into lesson planning
G
Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express
loria Powell-Smith wishes, in hindsight, she would have named one of her sons Keon. As in Dave Keon, the man many regard as the greatest Toronto Maple Leafs player of all-time. It’s a good thing for Powell-Smith’s sons the best-ever Leaf didn’t have surnames such as Butcher or Zezel or Puppa or Muni or McCool. The poor kid. Well, maybe McCool Smith has a bit of a ring to it. Not a Stanley Cup ring though. Powell-Smith has had to live with the disappointment of her team not winning the Stanley Cup since 1967, and just now reappearing in the playoffs for the first time since the 2003-2004 season. She recently wore a Leafs jersey to church and purchased a car that is Maple Leaf blue. It could have been an Edsel, as long as it was Leafs blue. She believes God is a Leafs fan. But how does that explain 10 years without a spot in the post season? “We were just waiting,’’ she said with a laugh. Trips to Toronto, with husband Bryce, are pilgrimages. When she walked past the old Maple Leaf Gardens, she touched it. Just because. Hockey has played a role in Powell-Smith’s life since she was a girl in Ebenezer, 12 miles north of Yorkton. The retired teacher incorporated hockey into her lesson plans. She beat a group of men, including University of Saskatchewan Huskies coach Dave Adolph, in a hockey trivia game. It was on Shaw Cable, if you want to rewind the tape. “Growing up in rural Saskatchewan, there was one television station – CBC – and two hockey teams. You were either a Leafs fan or a (Montreal) Canadiens fan. My dad must have swung me to the Leafs. “It was a great way to grow up. The rink was behind our house. We’d go out and play shinny every night and then, in the spring, you would wait for it to melt, and would walk the boards looking for all the pucks that went into the snowbanks and nobody found.’’ She has an undated program from a game that was played in either 1939 or 1945, depending on whether her father was heading to or returning from the Second World War. “When they were closing the Gardens, I had to go,’’ she said from the lower level of her home, where she has a collection of sports memorabilia extending far beyond her beloved Leafs. “We saw two games in Maple Leaf Gardens.’’ That was in 1999, just months before the Leafs moved to the Air Canada Centre. Powell-Smith has a visit to the Air Canada Centre on her to-do list. “I love hockey; it’s my love. I love hockey, then football, then baseball,’’ she said. “Bryce doesn’t know how lucky he is; I watch everything. I love the Masters — I just love the Masters. I am a Tiger (Woods) fan. I like Tiger the golfer, but not Tiger the man that let us all down.’’ Her memorabilia collection includes items so rare that Paul Henderson and Marcel Dionne didn’t remember them, despite their faces being displayed prominently on posters. Henderson asked and received a copy of the one featuring him. Powell-Smith has hockey, baseball and football

items. The Roughriders rank up there with the Leafs. Her basement wall is more than a tribute to the Maple Leafs. She has a Boston Bruins jersey with Orr on the back, despite him snubbing her years ago. “I wrote Bobby Orr when I was a kid and all I got back, and I still have it, was an invitation to a boys’ hockey school. So he never read my letter.’’ Gloria and Bryce are volunteering at the Memorial Cup. She is hopeful Orr might be in town and she can get her jersey signed. She is willing to forgive and forget. Bryce was a Leafs fan at one time, but says he moved on after the team traded Dicky Duff during the 196364 season. Clearly, Bryce can hold a grudge. Powell-Smith incorporated her passion for hockey into her passion for teaching. How McCool is that? “I taught school all these many years and always had a shrine in my classroom. I tried to make every kid a Maple Leaf fan,’’ she said with a laugh. She talks fondly about her days at John Lake School.
“It still had a big rink outside. I would do the supervision at 20 to nine in the morning. I’d be out with my kids playing shinny and I would have a Maple Leaf hat on – you know the red one? The deal was you couldn’t hit the teacher. “I got a lot of my girls interested in hockey and a couple of them have gone on to play university hockey. I hoped one of my girls would have made it to the national team.’’ Hockey became part of her teaching during the spring. “I would teach my nutrition unit in health. In gym, we would have the Stanley Cup playoffs. We would go and we would make four teams and we would start every game singing O Canada at the top of our lungs and tapping our sticks. It always went down to the seventh and final game.’’ She said one student caught on. “ ‘Mrs. Powell-Smith, you really made it go seven games,’ ’’ he said. “He figured it out. He was a very competitive young man and his team ended up losing. I remember saying you have to be gracious in winning and gracious in losing.

Durable and easy maintain, the fauxwood is the ideal blind for the demands of everyday life.
“Then, we would have a Stanley Cup party, but it would be our nutrition party. We had sparkling apple cider and we were toasting our team, and everybody got a trophy. I thought those kids won’t remember that I taught them to multiply and divide, but will remember the hockey, so it was pretty neat.’’ It is pretty neat having the Leafs back in the playoffs. She gives a lot of credit to new coach Randy Carlyle and the job he has done with the young team. “What did Don Cherry say? When people come into the Air Canada Centre now, they are scared? It’s a bigger team and there are enforcers on the team. They have good penalty killing. They’ve gone from last place to third in the league. Look at the Kings last year. They were a blue-collar hockey team. Nobody would have picked them in a million years. Momentum. Isn’t it an interesting phenomena?’’ No matter how the series with Boston goes, it has been a good year for the Leafs. And a pretty McCool one for Gloria Powell-Smith.

City nurses develop phone app to help families with newborns
S
Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express
askatoon-based registered nurses Cindy Leclerc and Jana Stockham have worked with local families and their newborn babies for almost 20 years. Today, they’re looking to share those years of education and experience with new parents in our city and beyond. The two women, both co-workers and close friends, have launched their NuuNest mobile phone app, revolutionizing the way new parents record and track their wee infant’s health-care information. “We developed the NuuNest app because we kept hearing from parents that all the paper materials we were giving out, often containing vital information about newborn baby care, were just not convenient,” says Leclerc. “Today everyone stores and records information digitally. Parents of newborns are no different — they don’t want stacks of paper.” Leclerc and Stockham have more than 30 years of combined experience, are International Board of Lactation consultants, and during the course of their careers have assisted more than 20,000 Saskatoon families with those newborn baby challenges. “When we started researching online apps as a resource to share with our clients, we couldn’t find anything we felt comfortable recommending,” says Stockham. “Parents didn’t know what information to trust and, at that time, neither did we. So, JW10837.E06 we decided to create our own tool for new
James
parents, based on our own education and experience.” The NuuNest app records, tracks and provides information for new parents regarding their newborn, while providing expert advice from trusted, reliable online sources that Leclerc and Stockham have approved. Just a few features include feed and diaper tracking, breast-milk expressions and weight management. “It’s just full of information, and such a great way for families to have all the health information on their baby in one place,” Leclerc said. Inputting your newborn’s birth date into the NuuNest app will automatically generate daily health-care tips and advice based on the child’s age, as well as daily and weekly data summaries based on the information recorded by parents. Leclerc and Stockham worked with Saskatoon-based app developer CollegeMobile and Ontario’s Hustle & Bustle Graphic Design to create the app, combining their years of experience and education as registered nurses with links to trusted online resources for the ultimate tool for tech-savvy parents. “The app’s focus is on that first crucial month of your baby’s life,” Stockham said. “There’s also an All About Mom section, which guides mom through her recovery after childbirth.” The Apple-compatible app is $4.99 and available through the Apple app store. It is capable of syncing with multiple devices — parents, grandparents and even the babysitter are kept up-to-date on what’s happening with baby.
NuuNest is already grabbing the attention of professionals. Last week, Stockham presented the app to the Saskatchewan Nursing Convention at TCU Place, and in June will be travelling to Ottawa to present information on the tool to the Canadian Public Health Association.
The NuuNest app will be officially launched at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, at Saskatoon’s K.W. Nasser Centre. For more information or to purchase the app, find the links you need at www. cindyandjana.com.

taxes on it. She doesn’t indicate were the purchase and compensation money will come from. I don’t think Lorje should worry about this. Now that Mayor Atchison has announced that the City will grow north, I expect property values north of the city will sky-rocket — unless, of course, the land is already owned or optioned by Saskatoon developers and/or builders. Allowing property owners in Corman Park to subdivide a quarter section of land into five acreages increases their tax base and population. It allows families to share the land with their clan. Both will serve to help the RM improve and enhance its alternative lifestyle and infrastructure. If the city does expand that far out during the next several decades, developers will buy those acreages and build at that time. Reeve Judy Harwood and her council were elected by the residents of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park and have
a fiduciary duty to their electors. Allowing their constituents to be hamstrung by a neighbouring jurisdiction negates the will of the voting public in Corman Park. The big question is, should we and our regional neighbours have confidence in our current civic government to plan a city for 50 to 75 years hence, with a projected population of 1.2 million, when this same government has difficulty servicing our city of today with a population one-fifth of the projected size? Perhaps it is our cratered roads, reminiscent of the moon surface, that has sent council into the twilight zone. ehnatyshyn@shaw.ca

He is now comfortable with himself, his family and he is his own person.” “The camp,” says his mother, “has given him the skills and it is an incredible and vibrant opportunity to show its participants as the fine human beings that they are.” Herb McFaull, one of the co-founders of the Saskatchewan camp, says “being a teenager is tough enough, but it is even harder when a young person is grappling with their sexual identity. I wish I had a camp like this to go to when I was their age. It would have made a world of difference.” He sees the camp as a way of “combatting the shocking and sad statistics that face the sexual minority. There’s the bullying, the alcohol and drug abuse, the high rates of suicide. We have to create a safe environment where it is OK to be gay, OK to be different, and the camps allow them to find out they’re not alone. Young people come out of there knowing that life gets better.” Anthony Bidulka, the other co-founder in Saskatchewan, says “Herb and I went to a

When I was young, I never saw gay people on TV. What we see now and what the social media has done really helps. After the young men and women have gone to camp, they now have a social media where they can stay in touch with each other.” Bidulka also hailed the work of Kobie Spriggs, who is the camp coordinator for a second straight year. “The needs of the campers are great and they’re diverse. She has a lot of organizational skills and a deep understanding of those in the camp. With her understanding and an ability to find the comfort zone, she’s been a natural,” says Bidulka.

Adversity always presents opportunity if you face it, but not without risks. I guess you have to weigh the risk of running away against the risk of facing things.

Mary was a working mother before the term was invented. She was one of many in the family who was employed as a rag sorter — a horrible occupation that involved sorting the cloth that was eventually treated to become the “rag” in paper. Many rag sorters succumbed to various sorts of pulmonary diseases from habitually inhaling cloth dust — not unlike asbestosis. Whether Mary returned to the bottle we’ll never know, but it seems apparent to me that she’d have every reason to do so. St. Joseph’s Reformatory must have seemed like a wee bit of heaven on Earth with clean clothes and regular meals and a garden for relaxation and therapy. It’s absolutely no wonder that the women were wont to reoffend if their lives had the same kind of trajectory as that of my Aunt Mary, who most certainly did not reach a prosperous old age. She died at 53 in much the same circumstances as she arrived in the world — poor and living in a slum. My brother-in-law is an arbitrator between landlords and tenants in B.C., and sometimes he shares some of the bizarre situations he encounters in his hearings. He’ll shake his head and say, “You can’t make this stuff up!” I guess I can say the same about some of my forbears — after all, Aunt Mary was a member of a pretty select group. Only 907 women were ever sentenced to time in an Inebriate Reformatory in England. Mary’s life was certainly no Downton Abbey, either upstairs or downstairs. It was merely a Downton Abyss. We are so fortunate.

Where to go on a first date
D
ear Lianne, Do you have any recommendations for a sure-fire first date? I have tried a lot of different places, but none seem to lead to a second date. — Mike Dear Mike, I am a huge fan of doing a fun activity on your first date. I often suggest minigolf, bowling or a game of pool. This allows you to have a distraction to lessen the intensity. In addition, it allows you to have fun. I am not a fan of dinner, drinks or coffee dates, as they are often an interrogation and uncomRelationships fortable. After your first date, if you can say three nice things about the person, then go out again. People need to allow a friendship to be established first and then the magic to evolve in time.

Cory-Parke Greenhouse has a plant for every gardener
oug Henderson, the head grower at Cory-Parke Greenhouse, has had a bird’s eye view of the evolution of gardening. As the size of lots decrease, and with people moving into condos, container gardening has never been more popular and practical, he said. “Ground containers are definatley a big trend with new people now,” Doug said. Not that ground beds are extinct, it’s just not like it used to be. Time is a big factor in our busy lives maintaining your containers takes up very little of that. Even today, when you look at the developments around us (Stonebridge), the room just isn’t there in some yards to have large flowers beds or gardens. Patios can also take up a lot of yard. It isn’t uncommen, even with landscaped yards, to place containers on the ground. Mixing them in with shrubs has become quite commen as well. Containers can sure make your home look welcoming on a front step. Doug says there are some basics for buying and planting in containers. “You have to know what you are growing. You have to match up the container size to the product you are growing.’’ Make sure all your plants have similar requirments like watering, and how much sun or shade they need. Your tags will always indicate where your plants will do best. “If you are intermixing upright plants and trailing plants in the same container, you can have more plants in it because they are not competing for the same space. If you have all upright plants— big bushy plants – you can’t overplant. “There has been a lot of improvement in colour choices and plant habits, so the genetics have changed a lot -- it’s indescrib-

able. You couldn’t cover all the variation.’’ He said there are noticeable changes in the habits of foliage plants and trailing plants, especially in colour choices. He said flower size and colour selection have improved drastically. He said petunias are still very popular amongst gardeners. They are a strong performers, but they aren’t your ony choice any more. “That is never going to change,’’ he said, noting the evolution even in the popular flower. “There are compact trailing habits, long trailing habits, along with changes in the flower size. They can be very tiny, so you get more flowers or a long trailing plant.’’ He says the flower size and colour selection is almost unlimited at the greenhouse. “We can help you find the right plant choices for your container.” “You can’t ever recommend one thing. There is such a multitude of plants to choose from. It’s the same way with foliage plants, because we mix a lot of flowering and foliage. It is not just petunias anymore. It is endless what you can do with a container now.’’ Container gardening is easy and less work to maintain than a flower bed. you buy the plants, plant them up, and sit back with your favorite summer beverage and enjoy! With the late spring, he said it is going to be a hectic few weeks. He recommends not becoming too concerned because most people still plant on the May long weekend. He said buying habits have changed, with people spreading out their buying and planting over a longer period. Cory-Parke Greenhouse is located at 3200 Preston Ave. South.

as they are easier to manage and come with the added bonus of being able to move your garden to a better spot, if need be. Van Duyvendyk cautions against using a container that is too small, as their soil will dry out faster. “Fourteen inches is probably about as small as you want to go. After that, 16 to 20 inch containers are popular, but really, the sky is the limit.” Van Duyvendyk says that “fairy gardening” is also popular, and a good way to get your kids interested. “You can buy small accessories to put in your pots, like a little chair and table, something fairy sized. This is something we will be seeing a lot of this year.” And while Van Duyvendyk says the trend of turning entire front yards into gardens is not popular in Saskatoon at the moment, she says that what is growing is the number of people “who are concerned where their food comes from. They are planting gardens with the intentions of being in more control of what they eat.” Van Duyvendyk says that gardening is best regarded as an ongoing task. “You don’t want to just put your seeds in the soil and hope for the best. You need to be observant. You should take pictures, and keep a diary as to what grows best where. Get to know which parts of your yard make for happier plants. Try new things. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. There are a lot of good gardening resources in our area.” Above all, Van Duyvendyk adds, “look at gardening as an adventure. It is fun!”
he May long weekend – a time when people traditionally plant their gardens and flower beds - is fast approaching. And although this late spring might be making your nervous,” Leslie Van Duyvendyk from Dutch Growers says “relax, there is still lots of time” for the snow to melt and for the ground to warm up. Van Duyvendyk has some tips for how to prepare for the gardening season while you wait for Victoria Day. First of all, she suggests attending to your lawn mower. “Make sure its oil levels are up, that the motor does not need maintenance, and that the blades are sharp.” You can also pick up the garbage that is revealed as the snow melts from your yard and garden. Snow mould is another issue in spring, and Van Duyvendyk says the best way to deal with that is to just give your lawn a light raking with a fan rake. When it does come time to plant, Van Duyvendyk urges you to “wait until your soil is completely dry before working it. If you can grab a fistful of it and squeeze, and water comes out, it is too wet. You want soil that is cakey and falls apart in your hand. That’s how you know it is ready.” When choosing plants, make sure to “look closely at how many days it needs to mature, and think about that in relation to our growing season.” Saskatoon is in Growing Zone 2B, so look for plants that have been proven to do well in this zone. Container gardening is one of the big trends Van Duyvendyk is seeing for 2013,

Early’s go-to location for all things lawns and gardens
W
ith the spring finally here, thoughts are turning to lawns and gardening in Saskatoon. Early’s Farm and Garden Centre is a go-to location for those with a green thumb eager to begin beautifying their lawns, creating vegetable gardens and planting a variety of flowers. A number of experts and horticulturists are on staff at both Early’s locations to help you out, according to Early’s purchasing manager Derek Bloski. “We’re open to any questions or enquiries,” Derek said. “We have the best selection of garden seed in the province by far, and that’s a genuine claim and most definitely our specialty.” With a late spring in the Prairies, setbacks are an unavoidable part of the planting and gardening process. It is still too early to start seeding a lawn, according to Bloski, but there are other options, both indoors and outdoors. “A lot of people have done a lot of indoor gardening this year. They have started their tomatoes and peppers, and those can be started early in April depending on what kind of jump you want,” he said. “As far as flowers go, some people will start their geraniums in January, as soon as the calendar turns. They do a lot of preparation for them and get them into action early. Flowers are all over the map. There are plants you direct seed in the spring and summer, and there are plants you need three months to get established.” When the time comes to turn the
RS31088.E06 Rob
attention toward lawns, Derek says the best bet is to wait until the ground is completely thawed and the soil retains heat. “That’s a little bit of a thing we have to curb customers from sometimes. Generally, they want to get started as soon as the snow melts, and that’s a bit early,” he said. “The ground needs to warm a little bit on its own. Typically if it’s a new area, say you’ve bought a new house and you want to seed your lawn, ideally I wouldn’t seed until you start seeing weeds growing in the spring. Generally, they will start growing once the soil is warm enough to do something. “Once the weeds grow, you can remove them and start packing. Then, ideally, you’ll broadcast the seed with a broadcast spreader. Then, you lightly cover it by working it into the soil by raking it. Some people will just pack it again. Once that’s done, cover it with a light of top soil or peat moss. Water often and for short periods of time until you get germination. “ With typical growing conditions in Saskatchewan, a lawn will germinate in about 10-14 days. Within four to six weeks, the lawn will be ready to cut. Early’s provides all the material needed to seed a new lawn. Another trend that Derek says has grown in the last five years is vegetable gardening. This means that the gardener can have control over what they eat, where it’s grown and how it’s grown.
“There is a real movement of people wanting to control their own food source. Planting more vegetables, having bigger garden spaces and introducing community gardens,” he said. “People like the freshness and they want to know what they are eating. That’s a real trend, and as it moves on, people are looking more into things like heritage seed or non-GMO or
organic gardening methods.” Early’s is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from noon to five. Their head office and main location is at 2615 Lorne Avenue. The second location is at 502 – 51st Street East. For more information, you can visit its website at www. earlysgarden.com.

Newly crowned Juno winners in festival lineup

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express
he rewards from Kevin Tobin’s talent searches are about to unfold for the 27th annual SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival. The negotiations have ended and the contracts are in place for the artists that will deliver 157 performances at an assortment of Saskatoon venues from June 21 to July 1. There will be nine concerts at the TD Mainstage in the Bessborough Gardens, six at the Broadway Theatre, 11, plus the latenight jams, at The Bassment, six at Amigos, anywhere from two to five shows a day at the outdoor stage, and even a cruise down the South Saskatchewan River on the Prairie Lily Riverboat on eight occasions. Herbie Hancock, a pianist and a true icon of modern music, was high on everyone’s wish list among Western Canadian promoters this year. “We knew he wanted to play in the West again, and that was good news for all of our festivals,’’ Tobin said. “As a group of promoters, we usually meet in November, listen to a lot of agents, determine availabilities and then form our shopping lists. Then we begin the negotiations with the agents. “Herbie last played the festival in 2008, and we all have fond memories. He likes to tell the story about the customers putting their beer cans on the edge of our main stage, something he’d had never encountered at festivals before.” Hancock insists that his own Fazioli piano be shipped to Saskatoon for this festival. Also key in the booking process is find-
ing the right act for opening night. “Colin James was our choice. He’s a Saskatchewan original, a guitarist-vocalist newly elected into the Canadian music industry’s Hall of Fame, and he has a new release, Twenty Five Live. He has always put on great shows for us.” There is some luck involved in the recruiting process. Tobin had Metric on his list for a couple of years and signed them this winter, along with Serena Ryder, for Bessborough appearances before the two acts won Juno awards at Regina’s gala party in April. On the Bessborough lineup are James on June 21, Metric on June 22, Ziggy Marley on June 23, Ryder on June 24, Hancock on June 26, City and Colour on June 27, Dr. John on June 28, Jimmie Vaughan on June 29 and Michael Franti on June 30. “First and foremost, we are a jazz festival, but as we assemble a lineup of artists, we are conscious of diversity in music, the potential for financial success, the geographical partnerships, the new products available and we want high production values on all our stages. “For a handful of years, we’ve been wanting to have Aretha Franklin as a guest artist. But it isn’t practical. She won’t fly, for starters. And if she came to Western Canada, she’d also be nervous about driving through the Rocky Mountains.” The Broadway Theatre, with 440 seats, is also prominent in festival planning. Booked there are the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on June 22, John Scofield Uberjam on June 23, Bettye Lavette on June 24, Nikki Yanofsky on June 27, the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra and P.J. Perry
l f i o n g G
on June 28, the David Murray Quartet and Macy Gray on June 29. Already 70 per cent of the tickets have been sold for The Preservation band, specialists in New Orleans jazz. The Bassment, which has been the Saskatoon Jazz Society’s home since 2009, “allows us to bring another collection of world-class artists, introduce them to the market, and give them a chance to work in a setting with quality sound and great vibes.” The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer will play their two nights June 25-26. The Kurt Rosenwinkel Quarter will do two shows on June 27. Courtney Pine will play twice on June 29. And other bookings will be Coral Egan on June 21, the Allan Jones Canadian All-Star Sextet, which includes Jon Ballantyne, on June 22, Vijay Iyer on June 23, Soweto Kinch on June 24 and Alfredo Rodriguez on June 28. The free outdoor stage in Friendship Park will have noon and after-supper shows almost every day and, according to Tobin, “that’s where we reflect the diversity of our festival, with an unbelievable acts, including some imports, on that stage.” The newest wrinkle this year is presenting eight performances by pianist Maurice Drouin, vocalist Tatrina Tai and trumpeter Barrie Redford on the Prairie Lily riverboat, with departures at 6:30 p.m. nightly. Advance sales of the festival’s ticketed events are now available at the Bessborough’s box office or at saskjazz.com. Tickets for the riverboat trips can be acquired through shearwatertours.com/jazz.html or by calling 306.THE.LILY.

956-4653(GOLF) GET READY TO SWING THIS SPRING
Most of you are just like me, itching to get outside and play golf! With the season only days away, now is a great time to start preparing. A number of topics come to mind in preparation for those first few trips to the range and that all important first round. I have narrowed it down to what I feel are three of the most important aspects to focus on, even before the first shot. Flexibility could be the most important swing component you can work on early in the season. The golf swing makes use of a variety of muscles and joints, and good flexibility ensures that those muscles and joints can all move fluently, without negatively affecting the swing. Often, the shoulders, lower back and hamstrings are areas that feel tight and lack flexibility after our long winters. Taking care of these areas is not only essential for your golf swing, but can prevent injury in your daily routine as well. Next, I recommend reviewing one of the basic fundamentals of the golf swing, the grip. Most golfers do themselves a disservice by not learning and establishing a sound grip prior to playing or practicing. If your grip is poor, it can lead to poor ball position and bad posture at set up. On the lesson tee or on the range, it is very common to see golfers wanting to fast-forward their practice and expect a grip change to be a quick-fix. Golfers often lose patience, move their grip back to a less desirable (but more comfortable) position and develop flaws later in the motion. The result is inconsistency. The longer you play and practice without fixing the root of the problem, the harder it is and longer it takes to change. It simply takes attention, time and repetition to get to the point of comfort where results will be seen. Finally, let’s have a look at those clubs. Of course, new clubs are always nice to have early in the year, but if you like what is in your bag, pay particular attention to your grips. Ask yourself the last time they were changed and look at their appearance. Worn grips reduce the traction between your hands and the club. This results in having to tighten your hold on the club. Grips are relatively easy for a trained person to change, and in comparison to purchasing new clubs, are inexpensive. The right grip can have an enormous impact on your ability to lower your score this year. Whether it is having a look at your swing or your equipment, a PGA of Canada Professional is just the person to help you evaluate these three areas integral to golf success and enjoyment as the season begins. Lessons can be booked by calling one of our PGA of Canada Professionals directly through The Willows Golf & Country Club golf shop at 306-956-GOLF. See you on the course! Brennan Gee

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Views of the World Evolution of humans fodder for brainiacs
• Californian Janice Hough, on Homeland Security looking for money to bolster security by asking for a feasibility study on charging visitors from Canada to enter the United States: “Right, so we have more protection from all those dangerous Canadians.’’ • TC Chong, on the new $5 bill being unveiled on the International Space Station: “When you see it, you too will ask, ‘What rocket scientist designed this?’ ” • Three Tweets from TSN’s Pierre LeBrun during a playoff game last week: “3. Holy man what a save by Quick; 2. Brown sticks his leg out and trips Schwartz. Yikes; 1. 5 on 3 here for the Kings, Jackman taking down Doughty after the off-side call. 5 on 3 for 1:37.’’ The way I look it is this: If we are watching the game, we know these things. If we aren’t watching the game, we probably don’t care. • Analysis from TSN’s Bob McKenzie, after the Eric Gryba hit on Lars Eller: “The only question the NHL will ask itself is whether Gryba got a big enough piece of Eller’s body to accept head hit as ‘incidental’ contact. If yes, no suspension. If no, he’ll be suspended. Your guess is as good
as mine. I’m leaning toward former, but couldn’t rule out the latter.’’ I’m thinking that was a poor piece of commentary, or maybe it wasn’t. • Hough, on Texas A & M announcing plans to renovate their football stadium so it will seat 102,500: “Not that we need anything to put football in Texas in perspective, but the population of College Station, Texas, where A & M is located, is 95,142. • From Bill Littlejohn: “Pope Francis announced that unless he receives approval for a new 6,000-square-foot video board for St. Peter’s Basilica, he will be forced to take the Catholic Church and relocate.” • If Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson are Hockey Night in Canada’s No. 1 team, why are they doing the Boston-Toronto series? Shouldn’t the big dogs be doing the series featuring two Canadian-based teams? Not that I’m complaining — Bob Cole is No. 1 in my books. • Chong, on the Vancouver Canucks’ poor performance in Game 1 against San Jose: “Even the rioters have made alternate plans for the Stanley Cup final this year.’’ • In their origins, the word groom means “male child” and bride means “cook.’’
When I proposed to my wife, I pretty much nailed it when I said, “You will be a beautiful cook.’’ • Since we have a theme here, “tie the knot’’ goes back days of yore, when a bride wore a girdle tied with knots. It was the groom’s duty to untie it. Today, we call that kinky. • Hough, on the San Francisco 49ers signing British Olympic discus finalist Lawrence Okoye, despite the fact he has never played football: “Well, that makes sense — NFL teams sign student-athletes all the time that have never been students. • Littlejohn, on Beyonce only drinking from a $900 titanium straw while on tour: “The only one more expensive was the one Reggie Jackson used to stir the drink for the New York Yankees.’’ • Chong, on Virgin Airlines allowing passengers to send other passengers drinks: “Not to be outdone, Air Canada announced that drinks and food can be ordered from the airport lounge as passengers sit waiting on the tarmac.’’ • One of the changes in the evolution of humans is we now have smaller brains. If you don’t believe it, go to a UFC performance.

Fundraising gala for Huskie track program on May 10
T
Joelle Tomlinson Saskatoon Express
he inaugural scholarship event for the University of Saskatchewan’s Huskie track team will be held on May 10. The intent is to raise money for the track program and encourage track athletes to attend the U of S. “I suppose the inspiration behind it was the simple realization that the reality of CIS sport has changed in Canada. I was originally on the team in 1996-97, 1998-99 and 2000-01,” said Karla Gabruch, an organizer and former Huskie athlete. “I was part of some very fierce teams, one of which won a CIS national title. Our program actually has the most successful legacy on campus with 12 overall national titles out of the U of S' total 25. “When I decided to return to school in 2011-12 and 2012-13, I competed on the track team and used my last two years of eligibility as a 33-35-year-old. I noticed how the CIS climate has changed, how different the program feels and the different feel of the team. It used to be that track athletes would want to come to the U of S and compete on the track team for our program and legacy. Now that Regina and other universities can offer kids graduating from high school a full ride because their university has allotted the funds, we are finding ourselves losing more and more athletes.” All proceeds from the gala will go toward raising scholarship dollars for Huskie athletes. This will ensure that the Huskie track program has recruiting power and the ability to retain athletes. Huskie coach Lyle Sanderson, along with former athletes John Neufeld and Karlyn Serby, will be speaking at the event. The program will include a social with appetizers and live music, as well as a silent auction and a dance to cap off the night. “I was a member of the fundraising committee and we had an idea of starting a yearly event for our team, much like the Dog’s Breakfast and other Huskie sport team fundraisers,” said Gabruch. “The track and field community is a huge one. Our intention is to bring all past, present and future Huskie track athletes and their supporters together under one banner. By doing so, we hope to set in place a solid foundation of support for the program to continue to build on, ensuring its legacy for years to come.” Tickets for the Huskie Track and Field Scholarship Gala are available for $45 at Brainsport and Saskatchewan Athletics.

Neighbours: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
B
ad neighbours come in all shapes and sizes. There are the loud, scream-at-the-top-of-their-lungs types to the barking-dog-defecating-onyour-lawn variety. Before you contact one of the trusty members of the Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS® to get a For Sale sign embedded in your front lawn, here are some things to consider. If your neighbours are the party-all-night college kids, the first rule is to talk to them. As uncomfortable as these conversations can be, sometimes it is best to approach them with a friendly demeanour. Coming across as the grumpy old person next door is just going to irritate them. As the saying goes, “kill them with kindness.’’ If this approach doesn’t work, then contact the SaskaReal toon Police Service at 306-9758300. Nobody likes living next to someone who looks like they’ve started a junkyard on their lawn. If having an awkward conversation with this individual is out of the question, then perhaps a passive-aggressive note is more your style – whatever gets them to move the four 1972 T-Birds and cut their seven-foot thistles down is your goal. Not only is their yard an eye-sore in the neighbourhood, it is also the breeding ground for numerous pests and rodents. The City of Saskatoon has a Safety and Property Maintenance hotline that you can call and report any untidy, unsightly property to at 306-975-2828. You may love dogs and even own a dog, but when the neighbour’s 90-pound Rottweiler and 10-pound Shih Tzu spend their entire day and night singing a capella, your love of animals may not be enough. Recently, we had a similar situation with our neighbours. Eventually my fearless better-half had to knock on our neighbour’s door and ask them if they could get the amazing duo to keep it down
a notch. There are also Outdoor Ultrasonic Egg Barking Devices available from such pet supply stores as PetSmart that will deter barking dogs in any environment. They retail for approximately $50. Had this tactic not worked, we had devised a “bark schedule” that we were going to present to the City of Saskatoon Animal Services branch to have them take care of the situation. This also corresponds with that pet that uses your yard for a dumping ground, and won’t stay out of your yard. Animals at large can also be reported to Animal Control at 306-385-7387. Waking up in the morning to head to work with the neighbour’s basement renovation team blocking your driveway can be a nuisance. If it continues after you have Estate politely asked them to move their vehicles time and time again, violations can be reported to the City of Saskatoon Parking Enforcement at 306-975-8344. This also includes such violations as the neighbours blocking the sidewalk with any vehicles, trailers or recreational vehicles. The City has developed all sorts of bylaws to keep neighbours pleasantly enjoying the other side of the fence from one another. Remember, it may be hard to sell a property if you haven’t dealt with the shortcomings of your neighbours. Chances are if you’re thinking it, someone else is, too, and this could be your chance to be the neighbourhood hero. Please visit the City of Saskatoon website at www.saskatoon.ca for more information on bylaws and infractions. For a list of our more than 600 agents, please visit the Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS® website at www. saskatoonrealtors.ca.

Boston
Tourists important part of city’s recovery
L
ondon. Madrid. New York City. Mumbai. Bali. Washington, D.C. This is just a short list of the great world destinations that have been hit by devastating terrorist attacks during the past 15 years. All are thriving today, and all remain top places in the world for tourism. But that “happy ending” didn’t come all at once, in some cases. Both Bali and New York City, in particular, saw serious drops in their tourist numbers after events that made them synonymous with terror in some wouldbe visitors’ minds. It’s too soon to know whether Boston will suffer the same fate, though it is telling to note that the major airlines that service the city offered customers the ability to change their tickets without fees, though service was going forward as scheduled. I’m guessing airline execs assumed that a lot of people would be rethinking whether to visit this important city. So, why should you visit Boston now? Here are my top reasons: (1) Do hugs appeal to you? Visitors will be embraced, both literally and figuratively, by thankful locals. They understand that choosing to spend your vacation dollars in Boston today is an act of solidarity, and they’ll be grateful for the gesture. (2) Public celebrations of numerous
milestones: This year marks the 50th anniversary of the acclaimed Boston Ballet, meaning inventive programming, a higher level of excitement at performances and special galas. The Old State House, arguably the most historic building in this highly historic town (the Declaration of Independence was read from its balcony), will be turning 300 with a splashy array of special museum Travel exhibits, lectures and programs. And for the little ones, the Boston Children’s Museum is celebrating its 100th year with all-new exhibits, lots of kid-friendly parties and special events. (3) For the art of the place: Not only are the Colonial structures of Central Boston a happy eyeful, the city boasts two of the finest art museums in this hemisphere. The Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum, an exquisite collection housed in the former home of its patroness, was significantly (and gorgeously) expanded in 2012, with a new addition by Renzo Piano. Its famed Titians, Rembrandts, Botticellis and John Singer Sargent works still take pride of place (most particularly “Europa” by Titian, considered by some to be the finest

The Mount Auburn Cemetery also is worth a look-see (it’s one of the prettiest and most notables-filled in the Americas), as are the Peabody Museum and Harvard Natural History Museum. And heck, pretending you’re a student in Harvard Square is a hoot. These are just a handful of reasons to go. But probably the most important is to do a good deed. Boston needs your support.

ou would think that after 15 years and three generations of Forester that Subaru would have concocted the ideal formula for its tallest tall wagon. Actually this car-based conveyance has contained mostly all the right ingredients ever since its 1998-model-year launch and the fourth generation model arriving this spring is dishing up more of the same. Through clockwork-regular updating, the Forester has evolved into a steady performer that treats its passengers well and totes their belongings with ease. On good roads and bad, the standard all-wheel-drive operates virtually unnoticed. But when the need arises, which is frequently in snow-belt regions, the vehicle’s mountain-goat capabilities make it a popular choice. The 2014 Forester’s bolder, brawnier styling displays more curves and angles than before. The blacked-out lower body cladding featured on all models ties in nicely with the more expressive mesh-style grille, flat-black bumper and attractively shaped side air intakes featured on up-level turbo models. (Subaru has also eliminated the turbo’s obtrusive hood scoop that was part of its standard kit.) The Forester sits on a new platform that modestly stretches the distance between the front and rear wheels. That translates into a bit more rear legroom (up-level trims add a reclining rear seat), but a taller roofline and lower load floor adds about 10 per cent more cargo volume with the split-folding rear seat folded flat. The cabin’s more formal control-panel layout is trimmed in satin nickel and optional leather. Subaru’s designers also increased the distance between the front seats and the dash to create a greater sense of spaciousness. The Forester’s only significant carryover item is the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine (installed in 2.5i models) that generates 170 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. For added punch, the 2.0XT uses a turbocharged version of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder in the BRZ sports coupe. Rated at 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, it replaces the previous 2.5-litre turbo engine option that produced 224 horsepower and 226 pound-feet. The engine, which appar-

ently won’t fit into the BRZ, does show potential, howeve, for a future application. The 2.5i offers a six-speed manual transmission, or a continuously variable (CVT) option. The 2.0XT only comes with the CVT, but it comes with what Subaru calls its “engine performance management system” with Intelligent, Sport and Sport Sharp settings. In Sport mode, the throttle becomes more responsive and the steering-column-mounted paddle shifters mimic the action of a six-speed transmission. Throttle response is further heightened in Sport Sharp mode, but the CVT provides eight “speeds” to play with. This is possible because the CVT actually has no set ratios and can be programmed to act differently at different times. Fuel economy with the 2.5 is estimated at 9.5 l/100 km in the city and 7.4 on the highway with the CVT, while the 2.0XT’s estimate is 10.2/8.4. These values improve on the previous-gen’s base and optional powertrains. Updating the Forester’s underpinnings was also on Subaru’s radar. This included specific retuning the front and rear suspension for the base and turbo models and installing larger brakes for the latter. Electric power steering replaces the less-efficient hydraulic unit to help curb fuel consumption. Standard on the 2.0XT and available on the 2.5i with the CVT is Subaru’s X-Mode control. The system, which can be activated at speeds below 21 km-h, adds greater control on slippery surfaces by shifting torque to the wheels with grip, either front to back or side to side. Hill-descent control that restricts downhill speed is also an X-Mode feature. As before, even base Foresters (estimated at $27,500 to start) arrive reasonably well equipped, while upgrading to the Premium adds a better audio system, heated front seats with 10-way power driver’s seat, rear-vision camera. Limited models include the CVT and leather-covered seats while the Touring edition tops out with touch-screen navigation and a 440-watt Harmon-Kardon-brand audio package. The Forester’s admirers likely won’t be disappointed with this latest iteration’s crisp styling, added performance and improved fuel efficiency. For those reasons, this Forester is one notch closer to perfection.

Little orange traffic cone loses out on love
T
here are many ways to tell it’s spring out there, but potholes seem to be the most constant and repetitive and persistent clue that the weather has shifted gears for the better. It seems like no matter where you live, those little gremlins just pop up out of nowhere to clobber you. It’s like that whack-a-gopher game at the fair . . . if the gophers tore the sponge club out of your hand and started furiously beating you with it, that is. According to the best and most reliable and trustworthy source on the planet, where no one lies or speculates or drives themselves crazy trying to self-diagnose a mysterious mole on their arm -- the Internet -- a pothole occurs when the pavement cracks in a crocodile pattern and the loose bits are knocked away when driven over. Water and freezing temperatures speed up the erosion. At what point this goes from being a pothole to a sinkhole -- a basement that swallows an entire car (or in Florida, a basement that swallows an entire basement) -- I have no idea, but for today’s chat, I’ll stick with the smaller stuff.
Like most drivers who think they’re all done with bad road conditions once the snow melts, that’s just the beginning. When the road opens up like a bombed out airstrip, your attention becomes divided amongst the traffic, the signals, cyclists who miraculously text and ride, and potholes. No, officer, I was not drinking, I was merely swerving for what I fear will be a failed attempt at survival. Even when I’m not in the car, potholes like to wreck a little havoc. One such pit in front of my house is large enough to warrant a cute orange cone to warn drivers. The cone and pothole have only met, but since it’s spring and love is in the air, right from their first date it really seemed like a match made on asphalt, or on an online dating site, anyway. This pothole, though, or whatever the Internet wants to call it, is deep enough that only the top two-thirds of the cone is visible to oncoming traffic. It’s also right in the middle of the road, so if you’re not paying attention, or driving too quickly, you’ll cut that poor thing off right at the neck. Case in point, I went to bed and the cone and
pothole seemed to be getting along just fine out there. I woke up to a crashing sound -- obviously someone had found the pothole -- and when I went outside in the morning, the cone was gone. Sort of gone, anyway. It was on a neighbour’s front lawn a couple of houses down. I walked over, picked it up and reunited it with the pothole. They really do make a nice couple. Later that day, school let out and an inquisitive girl thought the cone was there by mistake and moved it off to the side of the road. Hey, how would she know any better since she’s, like, 6, and probably doesn’t drive enough to understand the perils of potholes. A few minutes later, a car crashed through the hole, of course, so I went back outside to reunite the bright orange warning device with its beloved and quirky road anomaly. It couldn’t have been 30 minutes after that when someone pulled into the neighbour’s driveway, clearly by mistake, and proceeded to drive over the cone when they backed out onto the street. The cone was now wedged under the car and being dragged along.
I’m sure if the pothole had eyes, it would have been rolling them by now. Once the driver realized there was a problem and fished out the cone, did she return it to the pothole so that the torrid romance could continue? Alas, no, it was tossed onto the grassy part between the sidewalk and the street. Once again, love torn apart and passing cars were once again exposed to what would no doubt be a helluva carnival ride at 50 km-h. By now, I’m wondering a couple of things: if I’m the only person who cares about the orange cone’s love life; how people can keep running over, or are otherwise confused by, a bright orange cone; and when is someone going to get over here and fix this pothole so I don’t have to keep going outside to put the cone back in. Spring, I love, but pothole season, I truly despise you. You can message Rhonda by logging on to www. shiftweekly.com and clicking the contact link.
