Nancy Hanson has spent 20 years getting her yard ship shape. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)

Colour replaces lawn in award-winning yard Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express wenty years ago, Nancy Hanson moved into a house with a deep back yard. Back then, it was mostly lawn, with a vegetable garden tucked into a corner. Two decades later, the veggie garden

is still there, but the expanse of lawn has slowly and steadily diminished. In its place is an abundance of colour and greenery that earned Hanson the Saskatoon Horticultural Society’s Home Grounds Award for 2017. Hanson said gardening has been a tradition in her family.

“We had a huge vegetable garden and as kids we had our own little sections in the garden, so we always had our little row of carrots and our own little row of peas. And we had to tend for them.” Hanson said the veggies in her section were hers to harvest. Those in the main garden were kept for the winter.

A tour of her award-winning yard begins with a fish pond. Two goldfish, Mutt and Jeff, have been its residents for a number of years. Running past it she built a dry stream bed for overflow from the rain barrel to run down the yard and away from the house. (Continued on page 4)

It’s been hard to keep new history book on the shelves

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express nce upon a day not long ago, Saskatoon author Amy Jo Ehman made a visit to McNally Robinson Booksellers, bearing a card to thank them for hosting her book launch. Ehman, well-known in these parts for two previous books about food, added Saskatoon: A History in Words and Pictures to her bibliography in June. Along with other local authors, her book was placed prominently at the front of the store. But on that day, Ehman got a shock... soon followed by a pleasant surprise. “I walk in the door, and there’s none sitting there,” she related in an interview last week. “There’s my picture on the board, and none of my books. I thought, ‘oh, well, they’re not keeping the shelf stocked up.’ “I walked up to the counter and they informed me there were none in the house. They sold out quite quickly.” She had her own little cache, for family and close friends, so she took 20 books over to replenish the McNally stock. It appears that there was a local, and perhaps a tourist, hunger for such a publication, which came to light when McNally Robinson had a conversation with Ehman’s publisher, MacIntyre Purcell. “The publisher is very proactive and was chatting with McNally. They said to him, ‘there’s nothing like this on the market,’ and they get asked for a history of Saskatoon all the time,” said Ehman. “There have been a number of histories written about Saskatoon over the decades — very good histories of Saskatoon, authoritative histories, but they’re all out of print. “If you want a history (book) of Saskatoon you can borrow one from the library or find one at Westgate Books or (another) second hand bookstore, but you cannot walk into a bookstore and find one.” That view on the interest in local history was supported when she recently did a book signing at Indigo, where they told her the same thing. So, the publisher called Ehman, because MacIntyre Purcell had already published her previous book, Out of Old Saskatchewan Kitchens.

TA072406 Tammy

“He knew I was interested in history. Although Out of Old Saskatchewan Kitchens is a cookbook, and has historic recipes in it, it also has straight-up history. I retell the early history of Saskatchewan through the lens of food. I do love history as much as I love food. It seemed like a good fit.” It wasn’t exactly an easy project. Ehman says she had to leave out most of the city’s history, under her mandate to write a brief and accessible history of the city in just over 170 pages. “That was the hardest part about writing a short and picture-full history of Saskatoon. There’s so much to tell. I left 95 per cent of it out, or more. A lot has been written about the city; there’s a lot of knowledge about the city. Even choosing the photographs . . . even now I look at my cache of photos, and think, ‘I can’t believe I left that one out.’ At some point, you just have to close the book on it.” What is in the book is written sections beginning each chapter, with photos described by mini-stories and captions. Each chapter is associated with the bridge that fit the era. It begins in the late 1800s and ends in 1969, when the train bridge and station downtown were removed and replaced with the Idylwyld Freeway bridge and the Midtown Plaza. “That, to me, is the modern landscape of the city. That’s when it transformed into the city we see today.” Ehman begins with providing the context within which Saskatoon was born. “What was already happening here had an effect on how Saskatoon was established,” she said. “There is a long aboriginal history on this land and people have been pitching their tents on this river for thousands of years. “I wanted to establish that this is Treaty Six territory (dating to 1876). Without going into a lot of detail . . . I wanted people who read Saskatoon history to understand when we talk about Treaty Six territory, we’re talking about right here in Saskatoon. Around the era Saskatoon was being established, there was conflict here between those who were her first and those who were coming. And it was tragic.” Her research was extensive, including

(Photo by Joanne Paulson.) hours in the library’s local history room, reading many books, and receiving input from local historian and author Bill Waiser. Perhaps not coincidentally, Waiser was Ehman’s first history professor. A sad and remarkable coincidence also arose during her research period. Her mother passed away last year, and as Ehman went through her home, she found a box left by her grandmother. It was full of old newspaper clippings, particularly special commemorative editions from over the years. It was a special and surprising addition to her research. Next, Ehman is working on a book on the history of wheat; and Out of Old Saskatchewan Kitchens, a Canadian bestseller,

has been chosen by the Saskatchewan Library Association as the One Book One Province selection for 2018. The program centres a provincial discussion around a single book each year; last year’s choice was David Carpenter’s The Education of Augie Merasty. Events are planned around the province, mainly in March. Meanwhile, people are gobbling up Saskatoon: A History in Words and Pictures. Ehman has her own take on why. “People in this city love their history. They want to see their own history. This is an accessible book because the writing is in short segments along with the photos. You can read sections, or just open it up and find a photo that interests you.”

SASKATOONEXPRESS - July 24-30, 2017 - Page 4 Nancy Hanson’s yard is full of interesting features (Photos by Sandy Hutchinson)

Personal touches add to yard

(Continued from page 1) he yard is full of personal touches. The border between the lawn and garden is made of concrete bricks. One message, which continues over a series of bricks says, “Plant smiles grow giggles harvest love.” Another says: “To be lost in the garden is a bit of heaven on Earth.” She said she purchased a poetry stone kit from Zellers just before the store closed its doors in Saskatoon. “It had all the little forms and the letters so I mixed up my concrete, and while it’s still wet you have to stamp the letters in and let them dry and then you can put them in place.” The messages came from Pinterest. “I tried to find ones that meant a little bit more to me than others,” she said. It is one of the nice personal touches in the yard. She has worked in an old tractor seat and a tractor wheel rim and a wagon that was her brother’s going on 50 years ago. She said fairy gardens are popular and she has followed suit. She pointed to one that has a little pond, animals and a fairy in a canoe. There is a big, old elm tree on the west side of her yard.Darlene She said it is tricky to DC072402

work around, but she enjoys shade gardening. “I always struggle underneath this large tree, trying to find things that will deal with the dryness. You keep on trying different things until you get something that works. “Hostas seem to like dry shade and I have a fern leaf bleeding heart and it works pretty well there. I also have some sun-loving plants in here as well that are drought tolerant.” One of the tips she has for other gardeners is to find the right plants for the right space. “Sometimes you buy plants and put them in the dirt and they’re not really happy there.” Hanson has been a member of the Saskatoon Horticultural Society for about 30 years. She said its president, Chris Zerebeski, encouraged her to enter the competition. “I had already decided I would show my yard this year and be on the passport tour. He said, ‘if you’re going to be on the passport tour, you might as well enter the competition.’” She said she didn’t want to be boastful by entering, but in the end Zerebeski’s encouragement helped her make the decision.

She said winning the award was an honour. She said when she started working on her yard, she would tell herself that one day she would win the Chrones Award. That was the name of the Home Grounds competition back then. “I always joked that I was going for the Chrones every time I dug out more grass.” She doesn’t know if more grass is going to be sacrificed for garden. “I say this is it, but who knows?” she said with a laugh. “If I see a plant that I really need to have, it might need a home.” Hanson, who works as a lab technician, said she spends at least eight hours a week keeping her garden in shape. She said in

the spring it is 40-plus hours, but it’s a labour of love. “I wanted to make a nice retreat for myself,” she said. “I enjoy it and the birds enjoy it. It’s my sanctuary and something I can do to relax.” Hanson’s yard will be among those on display July 29 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. as part of a passport tour. The self-guided tour is limited to 250 people. Passports can be purchased at both Early’s locations as well as Dutch Growers. They are $15 per person.

(Continued from page 6) cup-winning team. What is most remarkable, and I don’t think we ever get enough credit for it, is that we won 19 straight playoff series. That’s an incredible feat, really, really cool. “After the cup years, we won three playoff rounds before we lost to the Edmonton Oilers. We were so banged up in that series, with seven players suffering from injuries.” Bourne played 14 seasons in the NHL, the last two with the Los Angeles Kings. He played 964 games, scoring 258 goals and 324 assists for 582 points. In 139 playoff games, he had 40 goals and 56 assists. Bourne was involved in some unique twists and turns along his hockey path. Originally from Netherhill, he played minor hockey at Kindersley and graduated from Grade 12 when he was 16 years old. “Medicine Hat drafted me, but I wanted to get a university degree and was thinking about a career as an architect. I enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan and Dave Lewis, my best friend from Kindersley, said I should come down and try out with the Saskatoon Blades. After two or three practices, Jackie McLeod, our coach, wanted to know how we could make it work for both of us.” Bourne decided to join the Blades, where he had 97 goals and 224 career points. In each of the first two years, he took five arts and sciences classes at the U of S. An avid baseball player as well, he and Clark Gillies of Moose Jaw played the equivalent of Class A ball for two summers in the Houston Astros chain. In his second season, he hurt his knee and it didn’t fully recover for hockey with the Blades until January of his graduating year. He was drafted by the NHL’s Kansas City Scouts, but they couldn’t reach an agreement. He was offered a contract with the Chicago Wolves of the World Hockey Association. Bourne went to see Ed Chynoweth, who had been on the management team of the Blades. “I knew Ed and his family from out around Kindersley. Ed asked me where I wanted to play. I told him the Islanders with their Saskatchewan players. He asked me what kind of money I was wanting. “Ed said he’d make some calls, including one to Bill Torrey, the general manager of the Islanders. Thirty minutes later, the Islanders acquired me and gave me the contract I wanted. I later found out from Jim Devellano, the head scout for the Islanders, they wanted to draft me in the first round and they didn’t have a pick. “The first exhibition game I played in the fall of 1974 was against the New York Rangers. Here I was a kid from the Prairies and on the other side were Jean Ratelle, Ed Giacomin, Brad Park, Eric Nesterenko and all those veterans. “It was ironic that in the spring of 1978, we finished tied with the Rangers in the standings. We had a three-game preliminary playoff and we won it. That’s when we started to get respect and it was the beginning of a great stretch.”

he Islanders were loaded with talent T – Billy Smith in goal, Denis Potvin on defence, and Bryan Trottier and Mike Bossy up front. There was a time in the cup-winning years where there were as many as six Saskatchewan players on the team. “Most of this happened because of Al Arbour, our coach. He was one of the first coaches in the NHL who learned to treat everyone on the team differently,” said Bourne. “He knew how to handle the stars. He knew I was fresh off the farm and had to be handled with a softer hand. By the third year, he told me ‘I’m going to start yelling at you, too,’ and I accepted that. He was a brilliant coach, he was a psychologist, he was like a second father to me.” Important in his Islander family was that Bourne was the father of two boys and Gillies was the father of three girls. One of the Gillies girls married one of the Bourne boys. As remarkable as his life on ice was, Bourne is a great humanitarian as well. His son, Jeffrey, was born with spina bifida and is paralyzed from the waist down. Bourne started raising money for the cause, saying that “even when I came home for the summers, Billy Smith, Clark and Bob Nystrom would keep holding fundraisers.” His son was able to attend an interdisciplinary school on Long Island. Now 38, he lives with Bourne in Kelowna. After Bourne was traded to Los Angeles, he was chosen as the winner of the Bill Masterton award which goes to players who contribute to life, above and beyond. In 1987, he was chosen as one of Sports Illustrated’s Sportsmen of the Year for his work with disabled children in schools. Even after playing and later coaching, he continued to push. He and Dave Semenko, an Edmonton Oiler who died this summer, led barnstorming tours with old pros and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for minor hockey in Canada. Today the Bourne Family and Friends Foundation continues to work for good causes, notably helping mothers who can’t afford to put their boys in sports. “Being honoured in Saskatchewan again is a huge honour,” said Bourne, already a Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Famer. “As a boy, you just want to grow up playing the game. If something like this happens later, it’s a great thrill.” The home of the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame is in Swift Current, but the annual award ceremonies move to different locations every year. Jack Brodsky and Blair Davidson are cochairs of the hall’s board of directors. Also chosen in the players’ category this year are the late Eddie Litzenberger, who helped Chicago win one Stanley Cup and Toronto three, and Fiona Smith-Bell, a member of the Canadian national women’s team whose magic moment was an Olympic silver medal in 1998. Also honoured were Stan Dunn and Graham Tuer as builders, Ken Wheler as an official, the Northwest Hockey Development Association for grassroots work, and the 1983-84 Wilkie Outlaws and the 2000-2002 Lloydminster Border Kings as teams.

SHOULD I OR SHOULDN’T I SPILL THE BEANS ON MY EX?

Dear Lianne I so appreciate your advice. It is helpful and to the point. This is a tricky one. My ex and I split four years ago. It was like he had a secret life that I uncovered once he was gone. He drank, gambled, cheated and was involved in some pretty bizarre sexual things. To meet him, you’d think he was a super guy and a great catch. So

here is my dilemma. He started dating a woman who knows people I know. She has asked them to talk to me to see if I would talk with her about what happened in our marriage. I would actually love to so another woman is not fooled by him. How wrong would it be for me to have a coffee with her and tell her what she is getting herself into? – Gwen

Dear Gwen, I am so glad you enjoy the columns and thank you for your kind words. I can appreciate how tempting it would be to want to warn all women about your ex. I have always said it would be wonderful if we lived in a society where ex’s wrote relationship references for each other that would be provided to potential partners! Unfortunately, that will never happen. I would assume

the people you mutually know could provide insight to this woman without your involvement. It just isn’t right to sit down with her and spill the beans. I would imagine her Spidey senses are telling her that there is more to his story than meets the eye. Otherwise she would not be on a fact- finding mission. She will need to discover who he truly is without your involvement. She should pay attention to her instincts.

Interviewing Johnny Cash:

memory of a lifetime Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ifty years ago, in a trailer parked behind the Saskatoon Arena, Terry Hretsina met Johnny Cash. Then a teenager, Hretsina was able to get a freelancing position for a United Kingdom magazine. Hretsina contacted the editor of the publication and offered to interview artists visiting Saskatoon. Hretsina wasn’t a reporter and certainly had no desire to be one. He was a young guy who played guitar and was creating a record collection like few others. He used every penny he had back then to purchase records and/or baseball cards. On the night of April 4, 1967, Hretsina went to interview Carl Perkins and Cash. He was armed with a list of questions the magazine editor provided. After talking with a security guard, Hretsina was taken to the trailer. When the door opened there stood Perkins and Cash. Hretsina’s jaw dropped. Whose wouldn’t? “I sat down with Carl Perkins first,” Hretsina said. “I was so excited I didn’t even have Mom’s camera with me. Like today, everyone has their cellphone for selfies. I didn’t even have any of their LPs with me to get autographed. I was so engrossed in the interview.” When his interview with Perkins ended, Hretsina and Cash remained in the trailer. “I had all the questions and I was sitting there going, ‘my gosh, it’s Johnny Cash.’” He was filling in the sheets of questions with Cash’s answers right up until there was a knock on the trailer door.

“Somebody said, ‘Johnny, it’s time to go (on stage).’ We finished the interview and he got up and said, ‘Terry, I want to give you something.’ We walked over to this rail of clothes. He picked out this shirt and said, ‘I want to give this to you.’ He wrote ‘To Terry Johnny Cash’ on the collar. And he had to go.” The shirt, a size medium, is a beauty, especially when you consider its age and history. It’s light blue, with subdued lace trim down the front and on the short sleeves. A New York company named Lew Magram made the shirt. The label says the company was the Shirtmaker to the Stars. There is wear and some discoloration on the back of the collar which means it likely had been worn. There is also what appears to be a small cigarette burn on it. On Hretsina’s magical night, he also watched the show. “I remember watching him and thinking I was just sitting with him. How many people in Saskatoon, teenagers alone, have done that and not been a reporter like Ned Powers?” Hretsina, who spent the 1970s and 1980s living in Toronto, and Cash crossed paths again in Ontario. It wasn’t the same as the night at the Saskatoon Arena but it was pretty cool. Cash was playing in Toronto and Hretsina and his family went to watch him. At the end of the show, Hretsina hoped to meet with Cash again. He approached a security person and asked him if it was possible. “The guy I was talking to sort of recog-

He said, ‘were you the guy with your family who came to Johnny Cash in Nashville a few years ago?’” Hretsina and his family had stopped by Cash’s home and were standing at the gate. It turned out the security person at the concert was on duty at Cash’s home on the day the Hretsina clan stopped by. “He said, ‘I’ll be right back, just wait here.’ He came back with tickets for the evening show. ‘I’m sorry you can’t see Johnny, he’s booked up.’ “What are the odds of a Saskatchewan

nobody teenager who interviewed him goes to the big city of Toronto and all of a sudden you are picked out of three or four million people and you get free tickets. What are the odds of that?” Cash and Perkins weren’t Hretsina’s only brushes with music greatness. “I sat in the Arena with Roy Orbison and did the interview in one of the dressing rooms there. I still remember the security guard outside the door. He said, ‘have a good interview and while you are in there, (Continued on page 11)

Tai Chi for the body, breathing, mind, chi and spirit

nlike many popular forms of exercise, Tai Chi is about much more than just training the body. In fact, we could say that Tai Chi is a holistic practice which is why so many older adults are so drawn to it. There are five levels of learning in Tai Chi and they progress in a ladder fashion. One cannot regulate the breathing before learning to regulate the body. The ultimate goal of regulation is no regulation. In other words, once you master regulating the breathing, you don’t actually work on your breathing as you do the “form” (put the moves together). It comes naturally and allows you to begin regulating the mind, which then allows you to begin to lead the “chi” or energy. Regulating the body. You must first learn to co-ordinate the movements of your body for each posture. This is the basic level and involves learning to be rooted, balanced, centered and relaxed.

What are some options to make our bathroom safer?

You are wise to ask as a high percentage of falls occur in the Bathroom!! Grab bars, no slip bath mats, raised toilet seats, hand held showers and bath seats are a few great additions. There is a wide variety of sizes and styles so it is best to talk with one of the Sage team to find the best fit for you. A clear path and adequate lighting is a must! It truly is worthwhile to look at adding some bath safety aids they help our daily tasks to be easier and safer!

Do I Need a Will? Have you ever wondered if you need a Will? The answer is that absolutely everyone needs a Will, even if all you have is debt. Seeing a lawyer can seem like a complicated, depressing or daunting task to be postponed indefinitely, but in reality it’s a simple process that’s cheaper than you think. Having a lawyer prepare your Will is one of the most important things you can do to care for your loved ones to ensure they inherit the maximum amount. Without a Will, the law decides where your stuff goes, in what amount, and the tax and administrative costs are significantly higher. The result is that your loved ones inherit less. Wouldn’t you like to have control over what happens to your stuff after death? Don’t be unprepared! Call us and see just how simple, affordable and doable it really is.

As we wear our dentures, the bone beneath them continually changes and the dentures may no longer fit as comfortably as they did in the past. If this is the case, it may be time for a reline. Relining your dentures is a simple and affordable procedure that refits your existing dentures against your ever changing alveolar ridge. If the condition of your denture teeth is still favorable, you may be a good candidate for a soft or hard reline. Soft relines are the preferred option when a patient has increases sensitivity or prolonged pain when wearing a standard denture. A medical grade silicone is bonded to the base of the denture providing added comfort while chewing. It is important to note that this material is more porous than standard denture acrylics and may require more frequent visits to your denturist. Hard relines add new acrylic to the existing denture to fill in the space created by bone resorption. A similar material is used to seamlessly join the old and new acrylics. Whichever procedure suits your needs, your denturist can recommend the best reline option to restore the fit and bite of your dentures to its intended position, prolonging the life of your dentures.

Medical Marijuana

Small Group functional ﬁtness

What do I need to know about medical cannabis?

Cannabis as a medicine has had an explosion in popularity recently. Documented medicinal use dates back thousands of years and is found referenced in ancient writing for treatment of conditions such as constipation, absent-mindedness, rheumatism and gout, inflammation, hemorrhoid pain, childbirth pain and insomnia. THC and CBD are the two most common medicines in the cannabis plant. THC is beneficial in managing chronic pain, reducing nausea and vomiting in chemo patients, stimulating appetite, helping with insomnia, among others. CBD has very limited side effects and lacks the “high” effect experienced with THC. CBD has shown some promise with epileptic patients, including children. Since 2001, medical cannabis has been a legal treatment option for Canadians. Today, physicians authorize it for patients use for a wide variety of conditions. If you think medical cannabis might be of benefit to you, have a conversation with your physician. Cannabis cannot yet be picked up from your pharmacy. However, ask your pharmacist how to get access to cannabis, what strain you would need and and how to use it effectively.

he took some of the records with him and left others in a granary at his family’s farm in the Floral district. His favourites were those with Buddy Holly, Cash and Hank Williams tunes on them. His records are gone now, as are the performers. Those records in the granary were stolen and he sold most of the others when he got married and needed money. Hretsina’s fondest music memory will always be the night he interviewed Johnny Cash and was given one of the music superstar’s shirts. “It’s only a shirt, but the connection of going and seeing him, meeting him and interviewing him was amazing. I still see him with his right arm and hand out, picking a shirt and giving it to me.”

Reaping the benefits of Tai Chi (Continued from page 9) Some people never really get past this level and that is okay. It is especially difficult to make your body learn new movements if you have never done a martial art before. Don’t get frustrated. You will reap many of the benefits of Tai Chi just by working on this level. Regulating breathing. Once the movements become second nature and you no longer have to work hard at being balanced, rooted and centered, you can begin to learn how to control your breath. This breath control starts the process of coordinating your mind with the movements in a clear and relaxed state. This level is where you will really start to realize the benefits of stress/anxiety relief, blood pressure reduction, mood enhancement and an increased overall sense of well-being. Regulating the mind. The goal TA052921 Tammy of regulating the mind is actually TA072421 Tammy

coming to a place of no thought. You are completely “in the moment” and are experiencing calmness, peacefulness and relaxation throughout the form. Tai Chi is a form of moving meditation. Regulating the chi (energy). When you can get to a place of regulating the mind, you can begin to “lead” the chi throughout the body. This is actually very tricky, because if you think about the chi in a certain part of your body, the chi will stagnate there and stop circulating. You want your chi to flow naturally and smoothly. Regulating the spirit. This is simply explained as the Daoist idea of releasing the mind and body from any bondage of concern in this world and allowing the spirit to reach heights of enlightenment. You don’t need to become a Tai Chi “guru” or become a follower of the Daoist philosophy in order to see benefits of

Make the most of limited space

torage beds can help homeowners living in small homes make the most of their limited space. Downsizing with regard to living space is a trend that has long been associated with empty nesters and senior citizens. As children move out and start families of their own, many homeowners decide to downsize to less expensive, more manageable properties. But downsizing is not just for seniors anymore. According to a 2017 survey from the popular real estate website Trulia, among homeowners currently living in homes larger than 2,000 square feet, more would choose a smaller home than a larger one if they decided to move this year (60.6 percent to 39.4 percent). Homeowners who decided to downsize or those who purchased a small property to begin with may need a few pointers to make the most of their limited space. • Reconsider your furniture. Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers.

Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited. Purchase storage ottomans and/or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped. • Discard some items. Homeowners who are downsizing from large homes may need to part with some of their furniture to make their transition to smaller homes go more smoothly. For example, homeowners may need to get by with just one bedroom nightstand and may even need to replace their existing nightstands with something more compact. Discarding living room end tables and downsizing to a smaller coffee table also can help homeowners make smaller common areas more welcoming and less cluttered. • Put paint to work. Paint is another way to make the most of a limited space. Painting certain pieces of furniture the same color as the wall can make the furniture blend in and feel less imposing. The result is a room that feels calm and open, even if there is less space to move around than homeowners might have grown accustomed to in their larger homes. • Keep surfaces free of clutter.

Storage beds can help homeowners living in small homes make the most of their limited space.

such as dining tables, coffee tables and kitchen counters tend to accumulate clutter. While such clutter might not feel overwhelming in a large home, in small spaces crowded surfaces can make it feel as though the walls are closing in. Make an effort to keep surfaces free of clutter, resolving to discard or put items away each night before going to bed. Many people wish they could live in homes without as much square footage as their existing homes. For those who have downsized, there are many ways to make the most of less living space.

Manifesto by heart. They all mean a lot to me. I love helping them where I can, I’m grateful for every single one of them, and one of my favourite things to do is introduce them to each other. So, I’m not quite sure why some people are so hung up on pigeon-holing people, especially writers and reporters, as left or right. All I can tell you about myself is I love finding areas of commonality between us, and hate lies and corruption. I love strategizing, politically, for any party or candidate, the same way a hockey player loves hockey regardless of what team he plays for. I love writing, and I love writing about politics, and I’m going to keep doing it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go sharpen my skates.

Do you think they talk about who is most likely to go to jail first? I’m still betting on and cheering for slimy son-in-law Jared Kushner.
