An Indspiring story
Christian Kowalchuk sets example for young athletes Christian Kowalchuk started playing baseball 17 years ago at Kilburn Park (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express s each spring would roll around, Christian Kowalchuk would hear the buzz at school from the kids anxious to play baseball. “He’d come home and say, ‘Dad, can I play baseball?’” Christian’s father, Wayne, said. For a number of years, the answer was the same. “I said, ‘Christian I’d really like you to, but you have commitments with your tae kwon do and your music lessons and there’s school. And there just isn’t enough time. So I said, ‘Let’s stick with what we are doing and next year we will see what happens.’” The next spring would come around and the same conversation would be held in the Kowalchuk household. Christian clearly wasn’t going to give up, so his father made him a deal. “What I said to him was, ‘Christian, when you get your second-degree black belt, then you have a very good understanding of what tae kwon do is all about . . . I said when you get your second-degree black belt I will let you play baseball.’
A
“When he was nine he tested for his second-degree black belt. He passed that and the next year, when he was 10 years old, he said, ‘OK, Dad, I kept my promise, can I play baseball now?’” Once he signed up in the Saskatoon Braves zone, Kowalchuk played and played and played baseball. His commitment to the sport was much like the one he made to tae kwon do. He was a world certified black belt when he was six, making him the youngest in North America with the distinction. For his work in sports and education, Kowalchuk will receive an Indspire Award, presented to a select group in Canada who inspire indigenous achievement. Among the other recipients this year is Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens. The awards will be presented at a gala in Vancouver in February. It will be broadcast on Global TV and the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN). “I am thankful for it; it means a lot to me,” Christian Kowalchuk said. “One of my goals would be to really influence someone who is 10 years old and not sure what they want to do.”
He said he would suggest they find something they are passionate about and go for it. Sports did it for him. “You never know where they are going to lead you. That is the biggest thing about this award. Hopefully it influences younger kids to chase something. There were lots of days when I didn’t know if I would play college baseball. I was cut from Triple A (youth) teams for three years (in Saskatoon). “It didn’t really bother me, but I kept playing because I loved to play. You can’t worry about things you can’t control; just worry about what you can control. You can control working hard, showing up every day, you can control your attitude. That is the type of stuff I would want to influence people on.” Whenever Kowalchuk got the opportunity to play baseball he was all in. At 16, he would board a bus on Friday after school and travel to Edmonton. He would make the return trip Sunday night. In between those bus trips he played baseball, and lots of it. He did that for five weekends. Despite being younger than the other players, he made a team that would barnstorm the U.S., playing games against
junior college teams. The goal of the trip was to showcase young baseball players in the hope they would get scholarships. Kowalchuk turned some heads. “I got to pitch against junior colleges down there and that’s when I realized I can do this. When I was down there, I didn’t get hit all over the park or anything like that. I held my own so that was a good sign.” It was around Christmas of the next year when the phone rang at the Kowalchuk home. The head coach from Seward County Community College in Liberal, Kansas, was on the line, and offered Christian a full scholarship. Seward is a Division 1 junior college, a stepping stone to bigger colleges and maybe even the big leagues. “I had a really good freshman year,” he said recently from Fayetteville, Ark. “I literally used everything I could to my advantage – I worked out extra hard, I ran, I ate as much as I could to put on some weight because I was pretty skinny. Basically I hit the weight room really hard that off-season. (Continued on page 5)

It didn’t take long to sell me on the sport. This, folks, is worth watching, and it’s coming this week to an arena very near us. The Rush, who moved from Edmonton to Saskatchewan even before Chris Jones and his staff, play their home opener Jan. 15 at SaskTel Centre. There are tickets at various price levels, so this is affordable fun for most. The game is fast and exciting, and can get a bit nasty. After all, these men are carrying sticks. Comparisons to hockey are easy to make. There are basketball overtones, a touch of football and some boxing. These men sometimes drop their sticks and throw punches. The entertainment package at games has been compared with those of NBA games. Our city has had a few shots at professional sports over the years. In some instances the leagues dragged Saskatoon down. In others, the whole thing was a mess. The National Lacrosse League (NLL) has been around for about 30 years. The success of the team here is in our ticket-buying hands. The NLL has nine teams — four in Canada and five in the United States. During the past 10 years, attendance has averaged between roughly 9,000 and 11,000 per game. There were approximately 12,000 people at the game in Calgary. That’s big time. I vote we all check it out on Jan. 15, when the Vancouver Stealth will be in town. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Please go to Page 18 for an overview of the league and its rules.
Megan Fairbairn Saskatoon Express s most of you who have gone to high school can attest, there are certain things that make you popular, and certain things that most definitely do not. When people hear that I’d rather stay home and read than go to a party, or spend my rainy afternoons in an indie coffee shop writing bad poetry rather than on Instagram, they give me the side eye. You know the one — the “OK, you’re a bit strange” look. Luckily for me, I don’t count life’s popularity contest as an interest worth pursuing. However, I do wish that I could connect with more people who understand my mentality. I want them to know that alone doesn’t always equal lonely, or that when I decide not to go out, it truly is not because I don’t value other people. It’s more due to the fact that a few of my interests just happen to lie where people don’t. I’ve finally come to the realization that all of those characteristics are perfectly fine. There are many who do not

relate to me at all, and they would argue, “But how do you express yourself? How could you possibly be isolated for hours without going insane?” The answer may actually sound insane, which won’t help my case, but I feel as though you are never really alone when you have yourself there with you. I can get lost in my imagination for hours, dreaming about lives I might live, and even ones that are simply impossible. I can read poetry and look at different forms of art, and revel in the inspiration that comes with it. Being so introverted allows me to step back and observe life’s simplicities that make up the big events of living. This means that I feel sociable without needing to leave my home. As for expressing myself, the best avenue for me to do that is through writing. Don’t get me wrong; if I am comfortable with you, I will talk incessantly, day and night. But I never fully express myself to other people; there’s a small part of my core that I forever keep reserved. That is what I dip into when I write. If I had failed to discover that creative path,
I believe that I would be a very different person today. I am passionate about many things, but that creative outlet is the most prominent. That is why I will never quit writing, no matter who gives me the dreaded side eye; it is what makes me who I am. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not defining myself as solely a writer, it’s just that as my method of expression, poetry in particular has allowed me to discover things about myself that I couldn’t find by only sifting through my brain. Something happens when you let emotion flow out of you, whether it is through art, music, writing, athletics, or any other form of expression. Once you find that outlet, you will undoubtedly surprise yourself with how a simple pastime can so profoundly impact your life. This is why I will never cease writing bad poetry in coffee shops on rainy days, because even if it never leads to fame, I know for a fact that it is the true feeling of living.

Theo Fleury Play offers more than the dark side
Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express n his first full day in Saskatoon, Shaun Smyth is walking around the city, getting his bearings, and looking for a place to skate. In the tradition of actors really getting into their roles — remember Robert De Niro gaining 60 pounds to portray boxer Jake La Motta in Raging Bull? — Smyth has become an excellent skater to play another kind of athlete. Smyth is in town to portray hockey player Theo Fleury at Persephone Theatre, performing the entire play on “ice” and backed only by a huge screen portraying moments of hockey history. “It’s just me,” says the roaming Smyth of the one-man play, Playing With Fire: The Theo Fleury Story. “It’s synthetic ice. Hockey training centres use it in the summertime, and you see it on cruise ships for ice shows, or whatever. “You spray it just before with a silicone mist. It’s probably 10 times harder to skate on that, than on ice. You don’t really glide; you go about two feet and then it pulls you to a halt. “Once you’re going it’s not too bad, but it’s the stops and starts. And he’s always stopping and starting. It’s a real learning curve, because from a vocal point of view you’re always sort of contorted, smashing into the boards, shooting a slap shot, and talking. “On top of the skating there have been challenges vocally. Why am I hoarse? I’ve only been talking for 20 minutes. “That’s all been great. I’ve come through the other side of it.” Smyth first did the play in Calgary, where Fleury played for most of his career and won the Stanley Cup. Two years later, the Citadel in Edmonton picked it up in a co-production with the Prairie Theatre Exchange in Winnipeg. “Now it looks as though Persephone is the producer of the show and has the rights to the show for a couple of years,” said Smyth. Born in Scotland, Smyth grew up in Calgary and now lives in Vancouver, where he is doing TV appearances on shows like The Killing and Fringe. He is a long-time stage actor, at Stratford, in Alberta and now in Saskatoon. He has appeared here once before, with Tafelmusk’s presentation of The Galileo Project.

When he first took on the Theo Fleury play, there was concern that people who knew the hockey player’s history would hesitate to attend. Fleury, along with Sheldon Kennedy and others, was sexually abused by now well-known predator and former Swift Current Broncos coach Graham James. “In its early incarnations, it was a tough sell. People didn’t want to see a hockey story mixed with sexual abuse,” said Smyth. But audiences have since embraced it, and it played to rave reviews in Alberta. “It’s very funny. He (Fleury) has a great sense of humour; and it’s not preachy or heavy-handed,” said Smyth. There’s also a unique and rare closeness with the audience, said Smyth. Audiences can include hockey lovers or sexual abuse victims, as well as the usual theatre-goers, which changes the atmosphere. And then, there’s the shooting and scoring element. “I haven’t hit anybody in the head with a puck yet, which is a good thing. But pucks roll off, water bottles end up in the audience. I control that as much as I can, but sometimes it’s whoops, can I get that back?” The Story The play is based on Fleury’s book of the same name, written with Kirstie McLellan Day, who also wrote the play. “It’s a real journey, starting when he was five. I touch on that a little bit, him as a little boy . . . walking down to the hockey rink by himself, a barn with ice in the middle of it in Russell, Manitoba, with a pillow case over his shoulder,” said Smyth. “It’s really touching, because the parents were not a big part of his early childhood. Or, the way that they were was not any way you’d want it.” His father was a violent alcoholic and his mother was addicted to pain killers and antidepressants. “You lay all this out at the beginning of his life, and it makes sense why someone like Graham James comes along, and he (sees him as) daddy. You can see why he would fall into his trap easily. “All the addictions and rage and demons he’s been fighting . . . came from this little kid who was so damaged.” The play addresses the Graham James issue, then moves on to Fleury’s professional hockey heights, winning the Stanley Cup, and then his subsequent descent into addiction. “It ends with an epilogue. He really

(Photo Supplied) wanted that,” said Smyth. “Theo wanted everybody to know it’s not just about all those old stories and darkness, but that he’s come through it and doing a lot of great work today. “It seems to me that people appreciate that, too; they go through this journey and go whew, so you’re OK?” Yet the story of James’s sexual abuse continues to unwind. The mayor of Swift Current, Jerrod Schafer, issued a public apology Jan. 4 to former junior hockey players who were molested by James. “It’s still a living story. Each day you open the paper, the Cosby thing, Jian Ghomeshi, every day these things are being revealed. This is what Theo Fleury and Sheldon Kennedy have been working toward,” said Smyth. “That’s a strong current behind why this

story exists; it’s also a great hockey yarn. … It’s like hockey is the vehicle to deliver, almost subliminally, the messages of how we can’t let this happen anymore.” It has been a great experience for Smyth, who says he puts his heart and soul into the character. The play is beautiful, he says, and, “it’s also very alive; the room is very alive because the audience very quickly believes I’m Theo, and this is happening right now.” Playing With Fire: The Theo Fleury Story runs at Persephone Theatre Jan. 13 (preview) to Jan. 30. The Saskatoon Blades are promoting the show at their games, and will appear along with Fleury himself on Jan. 28 at a shinny game in front of the theatre, featuring rink burgers, chili and hot dogs.

ate last year, CBC suspended online comments on First Nations stories. Applause was warranted. The vitriol and outright racism that attached themselves to these stories had nothing to do with democratic discourse, engagement or intelligent point-making. Rather, such commentary revealed the stinking underbelly of society. While it’s important to recognize that the underbelly is there, filling comments sections with what often amounts to hate literature is equally abhorrent and democratically unhelpful Columnist in the extreme. The problem, largely, is the anonymity of such comments. Sure, you may see the commentator’s online moniker, or an impenetrable email address; but only close friends will know his or her identity . . . and may well, disagreeably, agree with the comment. Also entering the commentary fray is the Toronto Star, which reCuriosity seems to be getting the best of this chickadee (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) cently ended all online commentary on stories. The Star accepts letters JW15801.A11 James to the editor in a separate space, but bye-bye comments. While still congratulating these moves, I came across a piece by Russell Smith, a columnist with the Globe and Mail, which suggested that removing commentary is a trend. He predicted that media will increasingly cut back on public debate spaces, having “finally realized that the kind of person who devotes his day to arguing with strangers anonymously on the Internet is not necessarily representative of a large swath of public opinion or necessarily good at articulating anything.” And, he added, “that anonymity breeds gleefully expressed hatred.” That’s precisely correct. This is why newspapers and legitimate news magazines, historically, have insisted that all public correspondence be signed with a person’s full name and location. Now that other media have gone to print online, such as radio and TV stations, they are faced with the same ethical decisions traditional print publications * at participating merchants have made. The primary exception, of course, is radio call-in shows, but how often have you heard Garth Materie cut off a nasty commentator on his CBC show Blue Sky? Same principle applies. Good for him. Killing comments, of course, does not mean the haters of society will be muzzled. Visit Twitter, or the radicalized corners of the Internet, and you’ll find plenty of preaching to the perverted. The great democratizing vehicles of the Internet and social media channels mean racist, sexist, terrorist, and other-ist messages still scream around the world. But it is not the media’s place to encourage or host this outrage. The media’s role is certainly to encourage democratic debate, but also to provide factual reporting, and hopefully intelligent, analytic commentary. None of this happens in an atmosphere of anonymity. Reporters’ bylines are attached to their stories, and columnists are equally identified. In the same spirit of reasonable discourse, the commentators arising within the general public must also be identified. Publish your name, or be damned, because if you can’t stand up for your convictions, you’re really no help to society. How, indeed, does it help to vilify a race, a gender, a sexual identity? In what way can spewing hatred toward First Nations, LGBT people, Muslims, obese people or addicts improve our communities? It defies understanding. Media outlets returning to earlier, and better, ethical ground is a significant step in the right direction. “A refusal to provide a space in which blind rage is fomented is not the abandonment of democracy, but the protection of it.” Thank you, Russell Smith. I wish I could have put it any better. Plenty of free heated underground parking Here’s another thing I couldn’t have put any better. It pretty much consolidates the view that free discussion is crucial to a democracy — indeed, foundational; but there are limits. “Democracy cannot be maintained without its foundation: free public opinion and free discussion throughout the nation of all matters affecting the state within the limits set by the criminal code and the common law.” —The Supreme Court of Canada, 1938. And to this brilliant comment, signed by the Supreme Court of Canada, I would venture to add the limits of not just common sense, JW15781.A11 James but also common decency.

I had pretty good accuracy. I got a lot bigger and stronger and in my freshman year I remember my first couple of outings I hit 87, 88 miles an hour. I was like ‘Wow, where did this come from?’ It was only three or four months ago that I was throwing a lot slower than that. By the end of the year, I remember hitting 89 a bunch of times and 90.” He was named freshman player of the year in his conference, first-team all-conference, Gold Glove winner for his fielding and made an all-American team. “So a lot of stuff was happening pretty fast. That is where I established myself for other schools to see me because after junior college you have to go somewhere else.” After a second year at Seward, that somewhere else became the Arkansas Razorbacks, one of the top baseball programs in the United States. In his first year at Arkansas, the team played in the College World Series. That’s as good as it gets. Of more than 300 baseball programs in the States, eight make it to the World Series. A number of Kowalchuk’s teammates are in the majors now, including pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who recently won the American League Cy Young Award. At Arkansas, Kowalchuk worked out of the bullpen mostly as a left-handed specialist. It was his job to come in and get a tough left-handed hitter out. He remembers much about his first appearance. “There was one out in the fourth or fifth inning and the bases were loaded. I think it was 1-1 or something like that. So welcome to the league,” he said with a laugh. JW15774.A11 James “I ended up getting a fly ball out and the

So I got out of it. They didn’t waste any time putting me in. I remember that for sure.” College was more than baseball. Kowalchuk received a bachelor’s degree in economics and later a master’s in physical education. He had aspirations of playing professional baseball and had an offer to go to spring training with the Houston Astros. A shoulder injury prevented him from accepting the offer. “That was really hard because your

No. 1 goal when you are a kid is to play major league baseball. But you have to go through the process, go to college and then have a chance to play there. I had a chance. That’s all I could ask for. That’s all I really wanted was a chance and unfortunately I couldn’t go play. At least I got that chance or that call based on how I pitched my senior year.” While working on his master’s, Kowalchuk was a student coach with the Razorbacks. He has since turned that into a full-time position — and another trip to the
College World Series. Looking back, Wayne Kowalchuk is happy his son signed up for baseball. “I thought he would play baseball and have fun and that would be it,” Wayne said. “Never in a million years did I expect anything like this to happen.” The Indspire award came unexpectedly, but is important to Christian. “I think they are using me as a good example,” he said. “You can do something with what you are given if you work hard at it.”

The acoustics in this building are outstanding for this use and the size perfect for smaller performances. Had this church been designated as a heritage building, in all likelihood the collective group of performing artists would have been the successful bidder when it was put up for sale. It will be tragic if the new owner demolishes this building and replaces it with another boxy condo building. Will the owners of these buildings cry foul and lay claim to economic loss? Yes, of course they will and perhaps Saskatoon taxpayers will need to lend financial help in re-adapting them. But we will reap a long-term benefit from keeping them. Aside from these places becoming tourist attractions, future generations of Saskatonians will use them in their repurposed form and at the same time learn about the tenacity and fortitude of our pioneers.

I can’t find a rendering of Saskatoon’s cityscape of skyline that doesn’t include all or part of The Bess. There is quiet public support for preserving our heritage. It is evidenced by the growth and popularity of the Western Development Museum where the life and times of our pioneers are recreated. The Open Doors program has been successful in attracting large numbers of people to tour and explore our built heritage. What we need is for heritage groups to be more understanding about what we can reasonably save and less vitriolic when a structure is razed. And we need political leadership at all levels of government to apply heritage designation to our identified treasures. For auld lang syne. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Golf allows Nelson to travel the world Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express osing his sight at age 25 didn’t prevent Gerry Nelson from taking up golf. The 52-year-old Saskatoon resident lost his sight due to complications from diabetes. Having played golf sporadically when he had vision, Nelson took up the sport in a more serious fashion after he could no longer see. Since making that decision, Nelson has golfed in various locations in Canada, the United States, England, Scotland and Japan. At each stop, he participated in numerous national and international blind golf events. On July 12, Nelson topped the leaderboard at the Canadian Open Blind and Visually Impaired golf championship in Creston, B.C. The victory was the second for Nelson at that national event and first since he organized the inaugural one in 1997. In addition, he has won 11 Western Canadian titles. “After I lost my sight, I found that golf was the closest thing to doing something as naturally as I did when I could see,” said Nelson, who is a client service co-ordinator for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. “The only difference was I required somebody to position the ball behind the club. “Other than that, it was pretty much all up to me. It really got me up and going again about a year after I lost my sight. It just really picked me up.” Growing up in North Battleford, Nelson was typical of most boys growing up in that area. He played a lot of hockey during the winter, baseball in his really young days, before switching to fastball in the summer. He joined in on various pick-up touch football games. When he did play golf in those years, it was basically to smash the ball as far as he could. He was diagnosed with diabetes at age six, which also foreshadowed the fact he would have to pass through a number of adversities in his life. His parents had both died by the time he turned

23. At the time he lost his sight, Nelson says he had a problem with drinking. Golf gave his life a focus. “I decided no matter what I do, it is always going to be secondary to golf,” said Nelson, who was introduced to the sport by a member of the Saskatoon Lions Club. “I am going to be a golfer first.” Nelson was also introduced to one of his best friends in life — Chris Villeneuve — through golf. Villeneuve became Nelson’s coach and guide in 1997. They have been working together since that time, outside of a pause period, where Nelson took a break from the game for about five years. “An overall favourite moment is that I can do this with Chris (Villeneuve),” said Nelson. “Him and I both have been through an awful lot together as best buddies. That is something I always thank my lucky stars for.” Villeneuve has also found it very rewarding to be part of Nelson’s golf journey. “It has been an unbelievable feeling,” said Villeneuve. “When he hits a good shot and it goes exactly where I was hoping it would go, it is better than hitting a good shot yourself, because it is multiplied by two. “He has to be 100 per cent on, and I have to be 100 per cent on. When it works, it really is a great feeling. I enjoy it 100 per cent.” Villeneuve said in blind golf it is important there is a strong friendship between the golfer and his coach/guide. Besides helping Nelson with the mechanics of his swing, Villeneuve is responsible for helping Nelson get physically set up for a shot and giving him information to describe the area he is shooting or putting into. The information includes aspects like course elevation, slope of the green and wind resistance. Villeneuve passes on all that information during the approach to a shot, and Nelson usually decides upon and takes his shot in the equivalent time a regular golfer with sight would.

If you don’t enjoy being there, it is going to reflect in the game, and you are not going to be able give 100 per cent. I think a guide has to be totally honest and just enjoy being there. “I want to give Gerry as much information as I can that is relevant to the shot to make him feel at ease and to give him some confidence, so he can make the shot.” Besides getting help from coaches, Nelson would listen to the Golf Channel on television and incorporate new techniques into his game. After coming back to the game refreshed from his break, Nelson was keen on experimenting with his game. “I guess through all the years of being competitive, the more you win the more you want to win,” said Nelson. “The competitive drive was certainly back more than it had ever been, but also was the desire to get better.” Villeneuve noticed a big improvement in Nelson’s game from the first time the two worked together. “Before, he would just get up there and hit it as hard as he could and have a little fade and not worry about it,” said Villeneuve. “We did have some very good scores back then. “But now, he has much more patience. His thought process is much more refined. He is just a more professional golfer, I would have to say, in almost every aspect of the game.” Over the years, Nelson has had the opportunity to play with golf stars like the late Ken Venturi, Lee Trevino and Gordie Howe.
While Nelson’s highlights in the sport are numerous, he admits that winning never gets old. He was excited to win the Canadian Open in July. Nelson said other Canadian Opens have had stronger fields, but it was still an accomplishment to pull out that type of victory. “If you are on top of the leaderboard, that is still a win, and they all count as such,” said Nelson. “It was gratifying knowing that our hard work has paid off, because I still thought that I played very, very well. “It was a very, very tough and demanding golf course. You would have some people question as to whether or not blind golfers should have even been on it. At the same time, everybody has to play the same course.” Nelson still has aims of winning the World Blind golf championship, which will be held in Japan in November 2016. He has never won that event, having placed as high as third back in 2012. Another highlight for Nelson is the fact his 12-year-old son, Wyatt Nelson-Zook, has started to take turns at being his coach/ guide with the help of Villeneuve. Thanks to these special relationships Nelson experiences on the course, he plans to keep playing golf for many years to come as long as he is in good health. “Not too much turns me on more than the sound of a driver hitting a ball or the ball going in a hole or something like that, and laughing and joking around with the buddies,” said Nelson. “It is a special thing. “I see no plans in the near future of letting up anytime soon. As long as I am able, it is something that I love to do it so much I just couldn’t imagine not doing it.”

The role of the provincial superintendent of pensions is to make sure the plan is as healthy and as viable as possible for the members. There is more information about pensions available through the pensions division of the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission in Regina. When it comes to the City of Regina’s pensions, I don’t know if ours is the same or not. I don’t know what the Regina settlement was.

Question: Why does the city use a 6.80 per cent return going forward in its valuation of pension obligations when most government jurisdictions prudently use a much more conservative five per cent or less return rate? If the city were to use a similar rate in valuation, what would the shortfall in the city defined pension plans be?

Sometimes love hurts Dear Lianne, I am a divorced guy who has been single for eight years. I have dated several women, and each time I realized they weren’t for me. I am in my 40s and have one Matchmaker child. I met the girl of my dreams four months ago and I’m blown away, yet terrified at the rate and intensity that our relationship is progressing. She has the same feelings and fears. She has children that I adore and treat as my own. She has told me that I am exactly what she is looking for. However, recently we had planned a trip together and two days before we were to leave she told me she needed some space and time to think about our relationship. She is going on the trip without me. I have seen enough movies to know what that means. She says she is crazy about me and doesn’t know how to deal with her feelings. I am not sure how to feel about this. I love this woman more than I have ever loved any other. What should I do? — Mystified Dear Mystified, Sometimes love hurts! Her actions do not mean it is over. I encourage you to respect, and actually endorse what she is doing. Let her know you will think of her constantly while she is away. Ask her not to call, text or email while she is gone. This will allow her to miss you and sort out her feelings. Before she leaves, buy her some writing paper and ask her to write you letters while she is away. You can write her letters as well. The two of you can share them when she returns. Reading them would be a chance for reflection and an opportunity for sharing your thoughts. If you decide to continue, I would suggest you visit a counsellor for a relationship checkup. I can provide you with the name of a good one in Saskatoon. Please keep us posted, and all the best. (Lianne will be in Saskatoon interviewing new clients from Jan. 26 to Jan. 29. Call 1-204-888-1529 to make an appointment. Questions for this column can be sent to camelotintroductions@ mymts.net.)

Second half of jazz season welcomes Canadian, Cuban, American acts
Ned Powers Saskatoon Express lautist Andrea Brachfeld, trumpeter David Buchbinder, Steve Dawson’s Black Hen Road Show, Grammynominated pianist Manuel Valera and two Canadian piano stars, David Braid and Oliver Jones, are among the performers who will grace the stage during the Saskatoon Jazz Society’s second half of the season. Artistic director Don Griffith has landed a diverse pool of talent for the shows at The Bassment, the Fourth Avenue home of the society, as he schedules at least three performances a week, and sometimes more, from January until the end of June. Jazz is the main ingredient on Saturdays, folk and roots music are featured on Friday nights, and the other major staple is Piano Fridays, which features Saskatoon players on a rotating basis. The December schedule closed out on New Year’s Eve, with the traditional sellout for the New Orleans music by three Griffith bands. January opened with a sellout for The Barrelmen, a Saskatoon quartet specializing in country, folk and rock. A comfortable sellout ranges between 180 and 200 people. Griffith faces the formidable task of knowing there isn’t much room for error in booking acts. “We’ve been in this version of The Bassment since September 2009, and we try to be highly competitive for the entertainment dollar,” said Griffith. “We’re in competition with other music presenters. We know that if we have three shows a week, not everyone
F
is going to come to all three. There are some good acts available and I just have to keep the faith that people will come out.” Brachfeld, who appears on Feb. 20, is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, began her career at the age of 16 and has recorded six solo CDS. She will be joined by Jeff Presslaff, who moved from New York to Winnipeg in 1997, and is a pianist, trombonist, composer and leader of his quintet. Buchbinder leads Odessa Havana, a Toronto package which possesses a truly unique collaboration of Jewish and Cuban sounds, much of it written by Buchbinder and Cuban piano master Hilario Duran. Odessa Havana performs March 2. The Black Hen Road Show will be making a second appearance in two years. This year’s featured blues players include Russell deCarle, front man for Prairie Oyster, Grammy-winner Alvin Younglood Hart, a specialist in country blues, and Roxanne Potvin, a blossoming star in Canadian blues. They perform April 7. Valera is a Grammy-nominated pianist who was born and raised in Havana and is now well-known on the New York modern jazz scene. He has worked with notables like Arturo Sandoval, Paquito D’Rivera and Chris Potter. The Valera Trio appears April 9. Braid and Jones don’t need any introduction to the Saskatoon scene. Braid has been appearing annually at The Bassment since its opening. For his visit on April 23, he will be accompanied by the Penderecki String Quartet, whose
Yes, that’s a Blue Marlin, the Blue Marlin
Trumpeter David Buchbinder, third from the right, will lead the Odessa Havana band into The Bassment on March 2 (Photo Supplied) performers keep a busy concert schedule as well as being teachers at Wilfrid Laurier University. Braid is a Juno-award winner and is well-respected internationally. Jones, who visits on May 7, played at a Saskatoon jazz mini-festival in 1986 and has since been a regular at the festival and The Bassment. He is an Oscar Peterson disciple. The two Canadian pianists will command the highest-priced tickets of the spring season. Braid’s tickets will be $30 for members and $40 for non-members. Jones will bring the regulars from his trio, Eric Lagace and Jim Doxas, and that leads to ticket prices of $55 for members and $65 for non-members. Saskatoon singers to play a big role in scheduling Heidi Munro and Carla Carignan will be the vocalists with Big Stuff, which performs rhythm and blues and disco music, at the club on Jan. 15. Munro comes back with her regular

Wilma Groenen’s vocals and social commentary can be heard on June 11. Kari Alba, founder of the Alba Flamenco company in Saskatoon, will return on May 5 with a show called Arte! Flamenco. Among her special guests will be Miguel Infante, once a principal dancer in Juan Martin’s Spanish dance ensemble, Celedonio Garrido Santos, who sang in Spanish church choirs, and Ricardo Diaz, a renowned guitarist. Also booked is an 80th birthday bash for Maurice Drouin, the entertaining pianist, scheduled for April 4. The band will include regulars like Bob Klassen, Graham Dyck, Tatrina Tai, Grant Currie, Jamie Donlevy and Jacqueline Smith. Proceeds from the bash will go to the society’s jazz legacy scholarships.

Doreen Kerby for the Saskatoon Express n the northern part of China, the Great Wall winds from east to west over mountains, grasslands and deserts for a total of 5,660 kilometres. Because of its length and its long history, it is considered one of the seven wonders of the medieval world. Construction of the Great Wall of China was started in 476 BC, but continued into the Ming Dynasty, which lasted from 1368 to 1644. UNESCO listed it as a World Heritage Site in 1987. Considering it is more than 2,300 years old, some of the sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. Yet it is still one of the most popular attractions in China, with 10 million tourists arriving annually. We went by bus to Badaling, about 70 kilometres north of Beijing. Our guide told us that this is the most preserved section of the Great Wall, with a history dating back to 1505 during the Ming Dynasty. This section stretches about 12 kilometres with 43 watch towers. It looks like a dragon winding along the steep mountain ranges. Because of its strategic geographical features, it was a military stronghold. This section was opened to tourists in 1957. As early as the Qin (pronounced chin) Dynasty (221 BC to 206 BC), the first emperor unified the nation and began to build the wall to protect China’s borders from the northern nomadic tribes. Most of this section was reinforced during the Ming Dynasty to protect Beijing from the Mongols. The wall consists of large blocks of limestone, granite and even some marble. The bricks were mass-produced by a network of kilns and fired for seven days at around 1,150 degrees Celsius. The mortar was made from clay, lime and rice flour. The inside was constructed by tampering the earth with small stones, making it very firm and strong. The wall is about 20 feet wide, which allowed horses to gallop five abreast. There are fire platforms built on top of the wall that were used to send warning signals. One release of smoke with one shot of gunfire meant 100 enemy soldiers; two smoke releases with two gunshots meant there were 500 enemy soldiers; and three smoke releases and three shots of gunfire indicated 1,000 enemy sol-
I
diers were approaching. Once one signal platform fired a beacon, each platform would relay the information to the next platform. The Great Wall was originally built as a defence for three states: Yan, Zhao and Qin. It was constantly being extended and repaired in later dynasties. Though it began as independent walls for separate states, it became the one Great Wall when Emperor Qin Shi Huang wanted greater security. He ordered construction of the Great Wall around 221 BC and put 300,000 soldiers to work. The rest of the labour force was made up of peasants and convicts, totalling 1.5 million men. If a convicted criminal died before his sentence was over, he had to be replaced by a member of his family. When workers died, they were not returned to their villages for burial, but were placed in mass graves under the wall. This was considered a great act of sacrilege, because the Chinese believe a person’s soul can never find rest unless the body is buried in its home village. The Great Wall is sometimes described as the longest cemetery on Earth, because it is estimated that as many as a million people died building it. It is one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by any civilization. It is made mostly of earth, stone and mud. An estimated 100,000,000 tonnes of materials had to be carried by hand or wheel barrows. Peasants were worked to death. The wall is not one long continuous roadway, but has many sidewalls and parallel walls. There are some places where there is no wall at all. Adding up all its parts, more than 21,196 kilometres of wall exist. In some areas, sections of the wall overlap for maximum security. From a base of 15 to 20 feet, the Great Wall is 15 to 30 feet high, and topped with ramparts 12 feet high and guard towers distributed at regular intervals along it, providing accommodation for soldiers and storage for supplies. It was a thrill to walk on the Great Wall. Most of the tourists were Chinese, and they viewed it with a great sense of pride. Today, it serves as a monument to the wisdom and tenacity of the Chinese people. It is an incredible example of human accomplishment.

hree from Torben Rolfsen, on Baseball Hall Of Fame inductees: “1. Seattle hoisted a giant ‘24’ flag atop the Space Needle when Ken Griffey Jr. was elected. If Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens ever make it, I hope their cities honour them atop a giant needle. 2. Griffey announced he will enter the HOF wearing a Mariners cap, while Mike Piazza will wear a Mets cap. If Bonds ever gets in, he will wear a large salad bowl; 3. Alright, who were the 438 writers who didn’t vote for David Eckstein?” • You may have seen those little finger ads promoting the new look of Postmedia papers, including The StarPhoenix. Strange thing is I’ve only seen one with a female form, and it was for the Lifestyles section. Ah, for the good old days when papers had pages just for women. • TC Chong, on the death of Harlem Globetrotter legend Meadowlark Lemon: “At his funeral, friends and family each threw a bucket of confetti at the casket.” • Janice Hough, on Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones saying the team is open to some risks in getting a young backup QB: “I wonder how many seconds after the comment it took to get a phone call from Cleveland.” • Protesting in 2016: During a rally in Chicago, protesters asked if they could have the Wi-Fi password. • Rolfsen, on the Edmonton Oilers being last in the Western Conference: “They’re taking longer to reach their destination than the bearded beach hippie in that Expedia commercial.” • There is now a Vladimir Putin perfume. It smells like a shirtless old man. • Hough, on Hillary Clinton being asked about extra-terrestrials: “Clinton said, ‘I think we may have been visited already (by aliens). We don’t know for sure.’ Heck, for all we know, one or two of them may be running for president.” • From Chong: “British bookmaker Ladbrokes has posted odds of 1-2 that North Korea will blow itself up before the Leafs make the playoffs again.”

• From Hough: “Some skepticism on North Korea’s alleged H-bomb test, even though it allegedly caused seismic activity. Maybe the earthquake was caused by Kim Jong Il throwing a temper tantrum?” • It is expected Brett Favre will be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame next month. Meanwhile, Favre’s penis will be joining Anthony Weiner’s in the Sexting Hall of Fame. • From Chong: “Michigan Wolverines’ Jake Butt was named college football’s tight end of the year. No punchline needed.” • Hough, on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers firing Lovie Smith, who was their third coach in five years: “Somewhere even George Steinbrenner is thinking, ‘Jeez, show a little patience.’” • Let’s say there was credence to the story of HGH being sent to Peyton Manning’s home. Would he have been treated as poorly by the media as Tom Brady was for a few missing puffs of air in a football? • Chong, on Congress abolishing a bill that would reveal the source of meats that are sold in the U.S.: “Immediately afterwards, executives at Taco Bell were seen high fiving.” • Hough, on the 49ers firing Jim Tomsula but keeping GM Trent Baakle: “Isn’t this kind of like firing the catering manager on the Titanic?” • From Rolfsen: “A report said Johnny Manziel partied in Vegas with a fake wig and moustache. You’d think he could afford a real wig.” • From Chong: “Researchers at the University of Cambridge have concluded that the larger your wine glass, the more you will drink. Their study didn’t include people like me that drink it straight out of the carafe.” • From Hough: “Now Johnny Manziel has been cited for driving with expired licence plates. Even JaMarcus Russell is saying, ‘Dude, get it together.’” • From @randyturner15: “I’m not saying the NHL Jets are shorthanded a lot, but their penalty box now has Netflix.”

National Lacrosse League 101
W
ith the Saskatchewan Rush set to open the home part of their schedule on Jan. 15 at the SaskTel Centre, we thought it would be helpful for you — and us — to run a piece on the National Lacrosse League (NLL) and the basic rules of its game. We thank the NLL for providing this to us. For more information on the defending league champion Rush, go to saskrush.com. OVERVIEW The National Lacrosse League is North America’s professional indoor lacrosse league featuring the world’s best players. The NLL has nine teams playing in major markets of the United States and Canada. NLL teams each play an 18-game regular season schedule (nine home and nine away) that begins in December and runs through May, followed by the Champion’s Cup playoffs. All games are played on the weekends. Professional indoor lacrosse combines the physical play of hockey with the high scoring, fast pace and play-making style of basketball. Indoor lacrosse is played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink, with glass and rink boards intact. The playing surface consists of a green DieterTurf carpet (a synthetic sports turf) that is laid down over the hockey ice. The two teams combine to score 25 goals on average during an NLL game. NLL RULES Rosters: 20-man roster, each team dresses 18 players for games (16 runners and two goalies). A team shall be composed of six players on the floor, including five runners and one goalie. Time Format: Four 15-minute quarters; two minutes between quarters; 12 minute halftime. Timeouts: Each team may take one 45-second timeout per half. A TV game has two timeouts per quarter. Sudden Death Overtime: Games ending regulation play with a tie score are decided by a sudden-death overtime period. Play continues until a goal is scored. More than one overtime period is played if necessary. Eight-second Violation: Occurs when team on offence fails to advance the ball past midfield within eight seconds after taking possession at their end. Face-Offs: To determine possessions at the start of each quarter and after every goal, two players face their sticks at midfield with a referee placing the ball between the heads of the sticks. Shot Clock: A 30-second clock begins counting down when a team assumes possession of the ball. The offensive team must put a shot on goal during that time or they will lose possession. If they do shoot on goal (without scoring) and recover pos-

TERMINOLOGY Body Check: Used to slow an opponent who has the ball; must be above the waist and below the neck. Cradle: Method used to keep the ball inside the pocket of the stick by rocking it back and forth. Crease: Only the goalie can stand in this nine-foot radius with the ball. Shooters or their teammates cannot stand on (or inside) the line or their goals won’t count. Any violation of this rule will disallow the goal. Crosscheck: A defensive strategy using the shaft of the stick to push on an opponent to force a missed or bad shot. Hidden Ball Play: A player without the ball cradles his stick, drawing the attention of the defence, while a teammate who has the ball passes or shoots on net. Loose Ball: Occurs when there is no possession and the ball is bouncing, rolling or rebounding off the boards or goaltender. Major Penalty: Five minutes in the penalty box for infractions such as high sticking, boarding, face masking, fighting and spearing. Man Down: When a team has one less player on the floor than their opponent. Minor Penalty: Two minute penalty for infractions such as delay of game, elbowing, holding, illegal crosschecking, slashing and tripping, for example. Offensive Pick: The legal interference by an offensive player from a set position on a defensive player who is trying to defend the ball carrier. Outlet Pass: The first pass from the goaltender or defender that begins the transition from defence to offence.
