Diamond Girls
All-American Girls’ Baseball featured in Fringe play FROM 1943 UNTIL 1954, Saskatchewan sent 25 players, more than any other province, to enjoy the experience of playing in a truly unique All-American Girls’ Professional Baseball League. The league was the brainchild of P.K. Wrigley, the chewing gun magnate and owner of the Chicago Cubs. Wrigley wanted entertainment in his Wrigley Field as a safety valve in case major league baseball was seriously disrupted by Americans enlisting in the Second World War. Major league baseball was never disrupted. People The history of the girls’ league has been documented to a considerable degree, the most noteworthy evidence assembled by a full-length 1992 motion picture called A League of Their Own. Maureen Ulrich, a Saskatchewan writer, has recreated the magic moments achieved by the prairie stars in Diamond Girls, which will be performed seven times at Saskatoon’s Fringe Festival from July 28 through Aug. 6. Most of the performances will be in the evening hours at what was once known as Cosmopolitan Seniors Centre and is now named Kinsmen Hall. The one-woman play is produced by Menagerie Productions of Estevan and stars Malia Becker. There will be references to most of the Saskatchewan talent, but the story builds around Mary Baker, who played 11 years in the league, Arlene Noga Johnson and Daisy Junor, who were also recruited out of Regina. There will be mention of Muriel Coben, a Saskatoon pitcher, and Millie Warwick McAuley, who had both Regina and Saskatoon connections. Becker will perform 21 parts. The best method of identifying the main characters is by Becker’s use of the ball cap. Baker, being the catcher, wears hers with the back in front. Junor wears hers higher on the head. Noga Johnson wears hers tucked down over the eyes. ULRICH WAS born in Saskatoon, grew up in Edmonton and Calgary, and came back to Saskatoon in 1976 to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Saskatchewan. Her first teaching assignment was in Lampman, where she started to write plays for her students. She has written more than 30 plays. By 1999, she entered into young adult fiction, creating a series of three books about girls’ hockey, Power Plays in 2007, Face Off in 2010, and Breakaway in 2012, all for Coteau Books. “I read a story about Mary Baker and I was amazed,” Ulrich said. “I approached the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame to see if they would consider a play as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. They were agreeable. The bookings at Fringe festivals in Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Edmonton were bonuses.” (Continued on page 9)

Eat, play, shop: Fringe Festival returns to Broadway July 28 to Aug. 6 Joanne Paulson and Keenan Sorokan Saskatoon Express

ee a play. Buy a craft. Eat a meal. See a busker. Take the kids. The Fringe — aka The PotashCorp Fringe Theatre and Street Festival, Saskatoon — is, in its way, not a fringe event at all. Every year, about 55,000 people attend the popular Broadway Avenue fest, and that’s hardly a number on the edge. This year, Fringers can see 33 plays (and 231 performances), taste the creations of 35 food vendors and buy from 100 market vendors. They can stop to see dance, music and busking; and if that’s not enough, there are several new additions. “We are expanding into W.E. Graham Park with a tented eating area, an outdoor stage for a variety of performances, a kids’ play area by DJ’s Amusements, sponsored by PotashCorp, and a new flea market area,” said Colin Grant of 25th Street Theatre, the Fringe producer, in a release. “Also new is an eating area on Broadway between 10th and Main that will further transform the street into a ‘living space’ for those attending the festival.” The usual street closures will take place weekdays from 6-10:30 p.m. and weekends from noon to 10:30 p.m. Tickets and further information are available at http://www.25thstreettheatre.org/. This year, there are many local theatre groups presenting plays at the Fringe; we caught up to four of them for a peek into their offerings.

With Glowing Hearts Department of Sociology/ Department of Drama — University of Saskatchewan Victoria School Gym An untold story of one of Canada’s early labour movements is about to hit Saskatoon audiences. With Glowing Hearts is the story of a group of women in Kirkland Lake, Ont., in 1941 that stood up for their families and demanded better living conditions after a strike at the local gold mine rocked the small community. The play is based on research by Elizabeth Quinlan, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Saskatchewan. She knew this story needed to be told in a way that would impact more than just her academic peers. “One thing that surprised me was how little documentation there was of these women that did this,“ Quinlan said from her U of S office. “We incorporated theatre as a way of disseminating the research findings.” In order to do this, Quinlan teamed up with associate professor in the department of drama, Julia Jamison, and local playwright, Jennifer Wynne Weber, to create a production that tells a side of history that is often forgot. “Women have not been included in the history books, to the extent that I think they deserve,” she said of the daunting task these women faced. “In terms of social, economic and political forces, they were really quite monstrous. These women were fearless. They stared down that monster.” They premiered the performance to labour-specific audiences in the spring where it was seen as a success by its creators.

This is the third season in a row where he has been hurt early on. This injury, apparently a bad ankle sprain, is said to be not as bad as the elbow injury two years ago and the torn Achilles last year. And it was due to a low hit – not just a misstep.

believe it was happening for the third year in a row. I really admire Durant. He’s a great quarterback when he’s healthy, and I’m told he’s also a great leader. I hate to say it, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that he’s also a delicate flower. Mitchell Gale, who shows considerable promise, may be able to drag us through a few games — although heaven help him against the Redblacks (I may be proven wrong by the time you read this). But I don’t think we can win games without a healthy Durant. Unfortunately, it’s looking more and more like backup quarterbacks are not going to be sufficient. The Riders need either another or a new starter, and they better start looking now. That, indeed, is not the only problem. Chris Jones, the new coach, has cobbled together a pretty good team, and it’s showing progress; but he has a long way to go. We are (as of press time) 0 and 3, and Durant was in two and a half of those games. What’s going to happen now that he’s out?

been bringing plays to the Fringe since 2003, is dedicated to the development of young artists through his company Shadow Players. Some of his plays have been light and funny; some have had serious messages. This is one of the latter. “Our company includes quite a few young women in the last couple of years. We decided a year and a half ago we should start developing a script around gender discrimination, since so many of them experience it, unfortunately,” he said in an interview. He and the young actors — among others — met, conversed, recorded discussions and dove into research. “I was one of several who . . . adapted the words into the script,” he said. “It’s really a collection of stories based on the experiences the people in our company have had.” Because some of the sketches are quite hard-hitting, there is a 13+ warning as well as a trigger warning attached to the play. Shadow Players also brings a new version of Rat Tales to the Kids’ Fringe this year, written by Ratzlaff. Now retired, and able to put up his feet, why does he keep coming to the Fringe — this time, with two plays?

weekends ago) completed in Swift Current the Chautauqua Theatre Festival. It was juried, so a group would apply to them and they chose what came down,” said Seidel, adding that it was “quite an honour” to be chosen. “When we did the tour, we had chances at the end of each show when the kids could come and talk to us. It’s so still happening. “One of the good things about this play is that it stands alone as a play, not just the message. It’s just a really engaging piece, and it just happens to be about bullying.” The play was written by Joan MacLeod shortly after the bullying and murder of Reena Virk in B.C., in 1997. “The way she responded to hearing this horrible news was to write a play,” said Seidel. “It’s not something that tries to recreate what happened, but instead looks at one girl’s reaction to the news. We find out through the play that her situation with her friends is bordering on the same sort of violence. “The main character says she can’t let this keep on happening and gets the courage to talk to somebody about it. We see she is going to take steps to make things stop.” Despite being based on the Virk murder, she added, “the script itself, the only thing that I would say is at all dated in it, is the girl goes out for supper with her mom and instead of getting in trouble for texting at the dinner table, she gets in trouble for reading.”

(Continued from page 3) arah Grummett and Caitlin Zacharias bring us SCUM: A Manifesto, a collaborative play for two friends that decided to venture out and create a new production that pokes fun at the current state of feminism and equality. The play is inspired by Valerie Solanas, who rose to prominence by shooting Andy Warhol in 1968. Solanas wrote the manifesto a year before shooting Warhol. The manifesto calls for the destruction of male institutions and the extermination of all men. A friend at the U of S turned them onto the play when he mentioned the manifesto. Interests were piqued, and once Grummett and Zacharias got their hands on the manifesto, they knew it was something they couldn’t ignore. “This is what we are doing our Fringe show on!” Grummett said, after committing to The Fringe with no production set in place. “This kind of fell in our laps.” The two heads of Scantily Glad Theatre had to venture out of their comedic comfort zone in search of a more serious tone. “This is the longest we’ve ever spent on writing, producing and acting on anything we’ve written,” said Zacharias, a fifth-year fine arts student at the U of S. “It’s us taking ourselves seriously for the first time in our careers.” Zacharias and Grummett play Solanas and Warhol respectively and also manage two other roles of modern feminists who, as Grummett explained, “completely get the idea of the feminist movement wrong.” For mature audiences only, this onehour production sheds light on gender equality and crosses the line of traditional theatre over and over again.

Jamaican jockey makes Saskatoon his home
Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ine years ago, Neville Stephenson didn’t know what a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan was. He knew all about horses that run fast though. One day, the city, fast horses and Stephenson converged. The Jamaican rider arrived in Saskatoon in 2007 and has been a regular in the jockey community at Marquis Downs ever since. He was told of the opportunity at Saskatoon’s track by a jockey who was up here and knew there were spots for two more riders. Stephenson snagged one of them. “I came here and checked it out and liked it, so I kept coming back and forth,” Stephenson said. He made the commute between Jamaica and Saskatoon for six years. Now, he’s put down roots. Stephenson has been married for three years. He met his bride-to-be — Wanda — at Marquis Downs. Where else? His two children — Brianna and Brian — are living in Saskatoon. He said he loves few things more than coming out of the paddock, glancing into the stands and seeing people with excitement in their faces. “It is nice when the sun is out and they can sit outside,” he said. “A lot of people love their horse racing here. It is nice to know something is going on with racing in Saskatoon.” Stephenson became a jockey somewhat by chance. His aunt’s husband owned horses. Not being a big man in his late teens, Stephenson was asked if he had any interest in being a jockey. He thought what the heck and gave it a try. “When I got into racing and loved being around the horses, I said, ‘well, this is what IDC072557 want to do, soDarlene I am going to keep going
N
Neville Stephenson has been riding at Marquis Downs since 2007. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) and make it my career.’” He won his first race almost immediately. He says it was either his second or third start. So much for having to earn his spurs. Stephenson says a lot of thinking goes into every race. He said he tries to visualize it before the race and make adjustments during it. “You have to do a lot of thinking when you are out there because horses run different. Some like to go into the lead and if they don’t get in the lead they might not do as good. If they don’t get in the lead, you have to think about second chance at what you are going to do. Position in a race has a lot
to do with leaving the gate, so you want to try to get a perfect break from the gate. If it doesn’t happen you have to think of some other way.” He has been lucky, by jockey standards, that his most serious injury has been a broken arm. “You have to know the game you are in is dangerous. You have to hope for the best when you get out there and that everything works out OK.” He said jockeys are a special group of people. Having a high pain threshold helps. “No matter how much it hurts, they just can’t wait to get back out there. They don’t
like to sit around and see races running and they are not out there.” Stephenson is currently fourth in the standings and second in earnings at Marquis Downs. For now, he plans on staying in Saskatoon. “I kind of like it here. It’s pretty quiet with nice people and everything. I like the atmosphere up here so I will stay here for a while.” Post time is 7:05 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. There is no racing on Aug. 12-13, while the Exhibition is on. The meet ends with the Saskatchewan Derby on Sept. 3.

U
(Continued from page 1) lrich got a real charge out of talking to the families of the athletes. Baker died in 2003, but Ulrich learned so much from Baker’s daughter, Chick, who lives in Regina. “Saskatchewan girls were lucky to have a woman like Mary, whom they could emulate and follow into the big time. “The makers of the movie were lucky, too, because the movie’s main character was really based on what Mary had done for the league.” Junor, who was also well-known in golf, died in 2012. Noga Johnson is now 91 years old and received national attention in the mid-July edition of Maclean’s magazine. Maclean’s interviewed the families of 111 people, one born in every year of the magazine’s existence. Not all stories made it into the print version, but are included in its archives. Noga Johnson is recognized for being born in 1924 and is celebrated with a whole page. She recalls a childhood experience where a friend’s swing of the bat once smashed her glasses “but the black eye didn’t stop me from playing ball.” Becker has a degree in theatre from Ryerson College in Toronto, an education degree from the University of Regina, and at 27, has done Globe Theatre and been around Prairie theatres. “She’s not a jock,” said Ulrich, “but she throws you her best pitch.” At the Winnipeg Fringe, CBC’s Shawna Dempsey gave the play five stars and said “Malia Becker hits it out of the park.” Ulrich says the other great catch was Kenn McLeod, the director “who came out of a background of puppetry and clowns and took a really creative approach to the script.” For Ulrich,Karen the chance to do the play KK072516
“really gave me the non-fiction bug.” THE PLAY carries more than a passing interest for me. As a teenage sports reporter in Regina, I often spent five nights a week at Central Park, which was the home of softball. I knew many of the women, including Baker and her sister, Gene (George) McFaul, and saw virtually all 25 of them play. A clipping still in my possession is an interview with Baker when most of the All-American girls were inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame. “Sure we were given professional advice on how to look glamorous and we wore short skirts,” Baker told me in the April 1991 interview. “We ran the 90-foot baselines hard and we slid on our bare skins. And the fans liked us because we played a snappy game, we made double plays, we bunted and ran. I think we bunted and moved players over better than some of the teams in the majors are doing today.” About the changes in pitching styles, Baker said, “We started with a ball that was almost the same as a women’s softball and the pitchers were throwing underhand. But gradually, the ball became smaller; the pitchers went to a side-arm, three-quarter arm and by 1947 were throwing overhand. I didn’t have to make any adjustments as a catcher. If you had good co-ordination, you could do everything just as easily with the small ball. I liked to catch because you could see the whole field in front of you.” She said she was paid well. “I was signed for a guaranteed $150 a week, playing a 113-game schedule, including twice on Sundays. The salary was pretty good considering I was making $15 a week at a department store in Regina.” Need to know more? Diamond Girls will tell you at the Fringe Festival.

A festival that will tickle your ribs
Keenan Sorokan Saskatoon Express ibfest is a time for Saskatonians to get their faces and hands messy — with barbecue sauce, that is. Ribfest will be held from July 29 to Aug. 1 at Diefenbaker Park. Five ribbers will be on site — Prairie Smoke & Spice, Gator BBQ Company, Smoke & Bones, Boss Hog’s Smokin Chophouse and Misty Mountain. These companies make awardwinning bones. Ribfest sponsorship chair Bryan Tastad explained what this event means to the ribbers. “This is their livelihood. They cook this stuff for hours and take this very seriously.”
R
And so do the people doing the eating. The event also features a people’s choice award and a celebrity panel of judges to liven the ribbers’ competitive spirits. “If they are recognized for being the top ribber at this year’s Ribfest, it means a lot to them. They work hard and are really focused on providing the best product for the customers that come out.” In addition to the good eats, there will be live entertainment and all kinds of things for the kids to do. The list of children’s activities includes the Astro Jump, face painting, a petting zoo and pony rides. This is the fourth running of the Ribfest. The festival has seen attendance
steadily grow as Saskatonians begin to take to the annual feast. Its first year saw an estimated 12,000 attendees, all the way to last year’s estimated 21,000. Ribfest isn’t just for the carnivorous college student either. “We get people from all walks of life,” Tastad said. “It isn’t just for young men, it’s for everybody.” The festival will be held from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on July 29, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on July 30-31 and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 1. The music covers an array of genres and styles that are bound to please the whole family. “People are really looking forward to
getting out there and chowing down on some great meat and enjoying the entertainment.” The music begins at 1 p.m. daily with the exception of July 29 when the tunes begin at 4 p.m. There is a beer garden and there will be a 50/50 draw. Admission and parking are free and the event is wheelchair accessible. The event is organized by the Rotary Club of Saskatoon Nutana in partnership with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Saskatoon and area. Proceeds are used to support local and international charities.

Part-time jobs can help retirees maintain their connections with their communities, whether it’s their professional community or the community in which they live, while also providing a sense of purpose. Retirees interesting in finding part-time work may want to consider the following jobs. • Consulting work: Many retirees have long résumés, and that experience is still valuable even after retirement. Consulting firms often hire experienced businesspeople on a project or contract basis, which can be great opportunities
for retirees to fill their time and make sizable amounts of money without having to commit to long-term employment. • Teaching: Retirees can also put their professional experience to work in the classroom. Inquire about teaching opportunities at a nearby university or even the local high school. Such opportunities may only be available on a volunteer basis, but some might pay part-time salaries or small stipends. Either way, many retirees find that working with young people helps them stay young, and passing on lessons learned to younger generations can provide a strong sense of purpose. • Seasonal work: Seasonal work is another great way for retirees to fill their time and make a little extra money along the way. Come the holiday season, retirees should have no trouble finding seasonal retail work at their local malls
or shopping centers. In warmer months, retirees may find seasonal employment at area beaches, golf courses or parks. • Sports teams: Retirees who live in cities with professional sports teams may be able to find work with their favorite franchise. Professional sports franchises often rely on retirees to staff in-game positions like ushers and concessions employees, and some may even hire retirees to greet fans. While the pay might not be great, such positions are ideal for retirees who happen to be big sports fans. • Crafts: Retirees with a love of crafting can turn their hobby into income. For example, Etsy.com makes it easy for creative entrepreneurs to post their creations and sell them to buyers all over the globe. Sellers often dictate how quickly they can make and ship products, so retirees need not feel worried about being rushed.

Part-time consultant work may be just what retirees are looking for to fill their time and earn some extra money. Many retirees still work even after calling it a career, and opportunities abound for men and women looking to fill their time and make a little extra money along the way.

had a secret pornography addiction. I shared this with a friend who is a retired police officer and he claims that it is the most graphic and disgusting pornography he has ever seen. Here I thought I lived a perfect existence when in fact he had this disgusting addiction and secret life. How am to ever trust another soul when the man I spent 30 years with had a secret that I didn’t know about? I am blaming myself for this when I know that it’s not me. What do I do? I feel so betrayed and my memories of my husband are now tainted by this horrible discovery. — Sherrill Dear Sherril, Addictions are very complicated and
often carried out by master manipulators. Many people, including those who are thought to be the most upstanding citizens, have addictions. I certainly can understand your feelings of betrayal, hurt and disgust. His addiction to pornography had absolutely nothing to do with you. There was something in his life that caused him to behave this way. It is so very important that you seek out counselling to help you understand and get past this.

Healthy habits that can have a lasting impact
long and healthy life is the ultimate goal for many people. While a host of factors beyond a person’s control, such as genetics, impact how long that person lives and how susceptible to certain medical conditions he or she may be, there are many things men and women can do to improve their chances of living long, healthy lives. • Keep working. While many working men and women dream of the day when they can leave the daily grind behind once and for all, they might want to think more about a second career than a long, carefree retirement. A study from British researchers published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry found that each extra year that men and women work was associated with a six-week delay in the onset of dementia. While men and women may want to retire from their professions, finding second careers or volunteering close to full-time hours may improve their long-term health and quality of life. • Stay on your toes. A healthy diet is a key component of a healthy lifestyle, but diet alone is not enough to promote a long and healthy life. According to the Johns Hopkins
KK072524 Karen
Medicine Health Library, the risks associated with a physically inactive lifestyle are considerable. Such risks include a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and coronary heart disease and even a greater risk for certain cancers. In addition, physical inactivity can add to feelings of anxiety and depression. Inactivity tends to increase with age, so men and women aiming for long and healthy lives should make physical activity a vital part of their daily lives. • Get your whole grains. Whole grains may be another key ingredient to a long and healthy life. Numerous studies have shown that increasing whole grain consumption can help prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. Researchers who conducted a systematic review of studies examining the link between whole grains and type 2 diabetes prevention in 2007 found that eating an extra two servings of whole grains per day decreased a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 21 percent. That’s an important finding, as additional research has found that people with diabetes have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition that can dramatically reduce quality of life.
Ask the Expert Q: Erica from Casa Rio
• Visit your physician annually if not more frequently. While many people, especially those who feel healthy, are hesitant to visit their physicians, doing so may just save your life. Several diseases, including cancer and heart disease, are more effectively treated when detected early. Annual physicals and discussions with your physician may uncover a disease in its early stages when it is most treatable. Waiting until symptoms appear may not be too late to treat a condition or disease, but taking a proactive approach increases the likelihood of early detection, which increases your chances of living a long and healthy life. Healthy habits improve peoples’ quality of life while also increasing the likelihood that men and women live long, healthy and productive lives.

Remove adhesive stain with WD-40
Reena Nerbas Household Solutions Dear Reena, I recently picked up a used rear window, and left it in the back of my van, leaning up against the rear seat. The black adhesive softened in the heat and some transferred to the upholstery fabric, leaving an ugly black stain. What can I use to remove this adhesive stain from the fabric? — Dave Dear Dave, Spray the area with WD-40 and leave for 10 minutes. Wipe the black adhesive with a cloth. Wash the upholstery with dish soap and a cloth dampened with water. Air dry. Update from Dave: I found something else in the shop that works really well — brake parts cleaner. The neat thing about it is that it evaporates and also cleans up with dish soap and water. Dear Reena, I was shaking my nail polish not noticing that the lid was not on tight. It spilled all over the front (bottom) of my sweater. The sweater is made of 51 per cent acrylic, 28 per cent wool and 21 per cent polyester. What can I do to remove the stain? KK072515 Karen— Neela
Dear Neela, Nail polish must be cleaned up as quickly as possible before the paint sets. Spray with hairspray, wipe with a cloth and wash as usual. Repeat the process. If the stain remains, soak the area with a generous amount of white vinegar. Leave for one hour and blot. Next pour a quarter teaspoon of dish soap and a generous amount of water onto the area. Blot to lift remaining colour. If the stain is still present, wipe it with acetone and a cloth (test on inconspicuous area before applying it). Extra Tip: If you ever spill nail polish on vinyl flooring, immediately sprinkle sugar on top. The nail polish crumbles and is easy to clean up. Sweet Tips • Extend the life of freshly cut flowers by adding a teaspoon of sugar to the vase every time you change the water. • Store sugar cubes with cheese to prevent the cheese from becoming hard. • Remove grass stains on denim. Combine one-quarter cup sugar with enough water to make a paste. Scrub solution onto denim stain and leave for five minutes. Wash as usual; repeat if stain remains. I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Need a presenter on the topic: Effective Speaking or The Power of Words? Check out: Reena.ca.

TAMMY ROBERT
last summer as part of Peter McKay’s 2014 bill and proposed upgrades to the Criminal Code of Canada. As for public awareness of those deemed by police as a high risk to re-offend (which are most often sex offenders) living amongst us in Saskatchewan, there are currently three listed on the Saskatchewan government’s website. Yes, there is a list of high risk to reoffend individuals on the government website; you’re likely as surprised as I was. Anyway, all three have a history of child sex offences, but if they stay clear of new charges for one year, they’re off the list. This is a list nobody knows about anyway. Data on Canada’s Ministry of Public Safety website shows that repeat offenders are twice as likely as first-time offenders to re-offend. In other words, if they can do it a second time, they can do it many times. Maybe that’s where creep catchers are doing a public service by potentially scaring off first-time offenders. Not sure that’s enough, however. At least one Canadian creep says he was
wrongfully targeted by the group, and the subsequent social media humiliation ruined his life. There is really no accountability in or oversight of the group. In May of 2016, Medicine Hat RCMP put out a statement calling creep catchers “an unsanctioned, loosely organized, initiative” of “individuals who engage in vigilante activity” who “come precariously close to the threshold of several criminal offences.” Lloydminster RCMP claim that one catcher compromised one of their investigations. Saskatoon police have warned against creep catching, calling it a “vigilante action.” Information from Correctional Service Canada shows that the majority of sex offenders receive a sentence of less than two years, meaning they’re likely back on the street within months. Not all sex offenders lure underage children, but they are certainly a part of the child sex exploitation spectrum (not sure if that’s a thing, but you know what I mean). The bottom line: While it’s not easy to support what creep catchers do, it’s not difficult to understand why they do it.

It’s not the end, but the beginning for aboriginal people. There will never be an end. It may be the end of an era, but with that comes a new beginning. It may be the end for that trail, but there are many other trails to be broken and followed. I prefer the trails that look to the future — positive trails that lead a nation in a bright direction.

of how that person got money for a new truck or car. There’s an old story of an Indian man and a white man walking along a beach. They both had pails and were collecting crabs. The white man noticed the crabs from his bucket kept crawling out, but this was not the case for the Indian. “My crabs are Indian crabs,” the aboriginal man said. “Every time one tries to get over the top, the others pull it down.” This is basically what happens, not only on my reserve, but other communities as well. This is how I view the End of the Trail piece. It’s almost like someone is waiting to push the rider and horse over the edge. That would be the end of the trail. 518 Circle Drive East 306.652-6474 www.amishheirlooms.ca

Kiselyk enjoys ride with Valkyries Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express arci Kiselyk never expected to be in football for the long haul. After finishing her career playing for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s basketball team in 2011, Kiselyk joined the Saskatoon Valkyries women’s football team for their inaugural season. Having just completed her sixth campaign as a receiver for the Valkyries, Kiselyk has been part of five Western Women’s Canadian Football League championship wins, represented Saskatchewan at Football Canada’s 2012 Women’s Challenge Cup in Laval, Quebec, and suited up for Canada at the International Federation of American Football Women’s World Championship in 2013 in Vantaa, Finland. She will soon be wearing Saskatchewan colours in Football Canada’s inaugural Senior Women’s National Championship, which is slated for July 28 to 31 at Mosaic Stadium in Regina. “It is really cool to have been a part of something from the beginning,” said Kiselyk. “This season we had 20 more people than we had in our first season on our team. The level of play can’t even compare from then to now. It is not the same game at all. “It is interesting to me that I have now played more seasons with the Valkyries than I did with the Huskies. When I first started playing football, there is no way that I would have thought that I would have still been doing it five or six years later.” The 2016 campaign started out with a bit of a bump for Kiselyk. She missed the Valkyries first two regular-season games with a sprained hip and was absent for another contest while she was playing for Saskatchewan’s team at the senior flag nationals in Halifax in late May. When Kiselyk returned to the Valkyries, she was utilized in different spots in the team’s starting group of receivers. “This year I was moved over to the back side,” said Kiselyk. “I was running unfamiliar routes, and I was lined up at wide out a lot of the time. “It was a bit of a struggle really when I came back, and I wasn’t feeling super confident in my hip. I think the best thing that helped me get through it was a lot of the other receivers were really awesome. “When you have a good group that helps to pick you up and support you when you are doing well, it really makes things a lot easier.” When it came time to play the WWCFL’s Prairie Final against the rival Regina Riot on June 19, Kiselyk was in top form. The 28-year-old looked fluid in all parts of her game: running routes, catching the ball and sitting in the soft spots of the Riot’s defence. JW072501 James

BUYING? SELLING? Shawn Murphy Marci Kiselyk, who just wrapped up her sixth season with the Saskatoon Valkyries, will be playing in a national championship beginning July 28. (Photo by Darren Steinke) Kiselyk had a special outing catching four passes for 90 yards and scoring three touchdowns in the Valkyries’ 29-14 victory at Saskatoon Minor Football Field. She said that game was a lot of fun, noting the Riot had won the WWCFL title the previous year. With the Valkyries having a strong group of receivers, including skilled pass catchers like Stacey Boldt, Carly Dyck and newcomer Alyssa Wiebe, Kiselyk found it easier to go on the field and make plays.

Helping Patients Recover
Bring HOME to Rehab
Creating a welcoming environment The numbness comes first, then you can’t talk. You’re having a stroke. The next thing you know, you’re in a hospital ward. You can’t move your hands, you can’t walk, you can’t communicate. It’s entirely possible to return to a healthy life. But where would you rather recover – in an institutional-like setting or somewhere more reminiscent of home? This is what professionals at Saskatoon City Hospital’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Centre want with Bringing Home to Rehab.
The 33-bed, intensive rehab program sees many patients recovering from conditions such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, other neurological disorders, and amputations or multiple traumas. Bringing Home to Rehab will make recovery the best it can be. The project will result in a more responsive physical environment. It will create a culturally inclusive and welcoming atmosphere with art and décor. It will bring patients comforts of home such as communications and entertainment devices.
Rehab’s Dr. Gary Linassi says, “We provide exceptional care at the lowest part of people’s lives. We want to create an environment they know and understand. Making the ward more comfortable, where patients can think about the future rather than dwell on what’s happened, is a good first step.” Donate today if you want to create a more welcoming environment for the hospital’s rehab patients. Call 306-655-8489 or visit SCHFdonate.com.

“I
(Continued from page 16) can straight up say we had exceptional receivers and we had receivers on the bench who could come in and make plays,” said Kiselyk. “That is probably the first time that I felt like we were really, truly, a deep receiving corps.” On June 25 in Lethbridge, Kiselyk caught a pair of passes for 76 yards as the Valkyries stomped the Edmonton Storm 81-6 in the WWCFL championship game. “It was a really cool game. Even though the score was so lopsided it felt physical,” said Kiselyk. “It was really great because we got tonnes of people into the game, and they were able to make plays. “We had rookies sacking their quarterback and rookies catching the ball and getting 25 yards. We really came together as a team, and that score doesn’t say that Edmonton was a bad team. It really just says that we were that good in that game at that point in time.” Now Kiselyk gets to hit the field for an encore, as her 2016 campaign hasn’t come to an end just yet with the inaugural Senior Women’s National Championship. The 36-player roster is expected to be an even split of players from the Valkyries and Riot. At the Challenge Cup in 2012, Saskatche-wan went 3-1 in its schedule of mini games, with the only loss coming to the host Quebec squad. Kiselyk believes Saskatchewan can have an even better
showing this time around. “I think that speaking on behalf of anyone who was involved in that last time, I am really looking forward to getting back out there and getting to compete as Team Sask.,” said Kiselyk. “I really feel like we’ve come a long way both in Saskatoon and Regina in the last few years. “You can’t be too confident heading in, obviously, because we have to really execute. I feel like we have a very good shot at winning if we take care of our jobs, and we play physically.” When nationals finish, Kiselyk will head to the sidelines to embark on her fifth season as a coach for the Aden Bowman Collegiate Bears junior football team. After guiding the Bears senior girls’ basketball team as head coach during the winter months, Kiselyk coaches in the Saskatoon Rush girls’ flag football league in spring. A high school division was created in the Rush league in 2014, and it has been feeding players to the Valkyries in recent years. Kiselyk is amazed at how much her life path changed when she took up playing football. “Every once in a while I take a step back, and I look at what is happening,” said Kiselyk. “I think it is just incredible that we’ve been able to kind of create this new culture of girls in football and women in football in Saskatoon. “It’s really awesome to have been able to be a part of that.”
