“I think there’s a tendency in politics to focus on the person and not the policies, and to get confrontational and even insulting,” said Meili in an interview, the Friday before his first day in the leg as leader.

“I disagree with Scott Moe about a lot of things, and will have no shortage of issues to debate, so that’s what I’ll be focusing on.

“Despite the fact that we disagree on a lot of things, I recognize he and his caucus are all there in service. We have very different ideas how to get there, how to achieve things for Saskatchewan.

The starting point, the foundation to our relationship, (is) let’s try to find the common ground in the things we disagree on.

Then we make the clear distinctions and offer an alternative.”

Meili added that the two men don’t know each other very well yet, but “he’s been nothing but decent in the time up to this point. We’ll see how he acts in the leg when I start asking tough questions.”

Meili is set to take on the Sask. Party in the next election with that alternative vision. He says it was a reporter’s question, not an NDP statement, that spurred his comment about calling for an early election; but if the Sask. Party does go early to seek a mandate for the new premier, he’s ready.

“If they want to go to the polls early . . . if they want to take that to the public and try to seek a new mandate, I am ready and happy to take my case to the public as well,” he said.

The NDP, however, has fared poorly in the last three elections. In 2016, the party took 10 seats to the Sask. Party’s 51. Rural Saskatchewan has been a particular challenge. How does he plan to make an electoral charge outside the Ryan Meili took over the reins of the Saskatchewan NDP earlier this month. (Photo by Joanne Paulson) cities?

remember what I was up to at 21, but it wasn’t being productive like these two are. ***** It is wonderful that Michelle Obama’s speaking tour is making a stop at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon this week. She is sure to be inspirational.

These events don’t come cheap though, with Obama reportedly getting $200,000 a speech, according to a story on businessinsider.com. Barack Obama is said to be paid a hefty $400,000 a speech.

Michelle Obama’s fee is believed to be about the same or slightly more than George W. Bush’s. W has done more than 200 speeches since leaving office in 2009.

You can do the math on that.

Tickets for Michelle Obama’s speech in Saskatoon start at $79 and are available through Ticketmaster. Meet-and-greet tickets are or were available for $2,000 through the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce. ***** Words that make my eyes glaze over: carbon tax.

He was on our top ten wanted list for a cornucopia of criminal charges. He ran from officers and was located by @ SPSAir1. Officers were safely set up to place him under arrest in the 2100 block of 20th (Street).”

I can honestly say I have never used “cornucopia” in a column. It has more syllables than the words I tend to use.

And it was great that the police got their man.

EcoVision owners focus on business model, giving back Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express Saskatoon university student, a recent U of S grad, a company in Greece and a tribe in Ghana have something in common.

It all started about five years ago with a Grade 11 student’s vision.

Brandon Kadachuk, who is now 21, was intrigued with a line of jewelry his mother brought to Canada. He liked that the jewelry was made from materials that were eco-friendly.

Why not a line of sunglasses using a similar premise, he thought. Well, why not?

When Brennen Beuker, who is 22, graduated from the U of S with a finance degree, he asked Kadachuk if he had an idea for a business. The two got to know each other at high school in Melfort and even before that when Beuker lived just down the road in Star City.

As a matter of fact, Kadachuk did have an idea. And the two began their journey to get their sunglasses into the market. They didn’t rush. They checked off each box in their plan before moving to the next.

Last month, they officially launched their line — EcoVision Eyewear.

Eco is the biggest part of the company’s branding.

“Our manufacturers and all our suppliers have zero-waste initiatives which is really important, especially working with plastics which are really hard to break down for most landfills. That’s really important for us,” said Kadachuk.

“With packaging, we use all recycled

Everything we do, even in our own operations here in Saskatoon, we recycle all of our plastic bags to make sure they get reused. We try to be as sustainable as possible to keep the reputation of the brand going.”

What about those connections to Greece and Ghana?

Greece is where the sunglasses are made.

“Finding a manufacturer was the tough part because you have to weigh out the pros and cons of where you want to do business and who you want to do business with. We really wanted to do our business in Europe because the Europeans are highly respected in the eyewear industry,” Kadachuk said.

“They are the only manufacturer in Greece which is pretty unique I think. The higher-end brands are produced in Italy so that is where we took the idea from.

We wanted to see where they are producing their frames and see if we could get somewhere close.

“I think the handmade part is interest-

ing. It makes them higher quality, with a lot more care and precision goes into it as well,” Kadachuk added.

“We wanted to stay away from China because there is a certain stigma around that,” Beuker added.

And what about the company’s relationship with Ghana?

A man named Eric Manu lived in Saskatoon about a decade ago before moving to British Columbia to become a landscaper. Along the way, he created a foundation named To the Moon and Back to help people get back home.

One day, Manu got a phone call saying his uncle had died and he had been acclaimed king of a tribe of 6,000 people. He went from landscaper to king just like that.

Kadachuk came across Manu on Facebook, read about the good things he was doing and got in touch with him with a business proposal. It was a win-win idea.

“I was really intrigued with the traditional gowns he was wearing as tribal chief. I took that concept and I contacted AS031908 Eric and said Aaron I was really interested in

those gowns. I asked if there was any possible way they could be made into sheets and then into pouches.”

The pouches would be a unique way of keeping the glasses safe when not being worn. Manu was on board with the idea and 12 women in his community were hired to make them.

“That’s how we created the Pair & Pouch initiative. We really want to help the people in Ghana. For every pair we sell, we donate $5 back to their community. It gets pooled and then we will use it to improve the quality of life there too – medical care, schooling supplies and things like that.

“They don’t have the same privileges as we do here in Canada. We want to provide for them as much as we can to help their community grow and expand and have the opportunities they deserve.”

The company has only been selling glasses for a month, but both Kadachuk and Beuker say things look promising. For example, they believe they have hit a good price point.

If it’s spring, it must be Gardenscape

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express ith over 180,000 square feet of show space over four halls, how does one begin to explore Gardenscape?

Apparently, there’s an app for that.

New this year for the show that heralds spring is the Saskatoon Gardenscape free show app, available through Google Play and the App Store. So, you can plan ahead.

“It’ll be an interactive app where they can see the exhibitors, they can see the show map and co-ordinate and get additional information on the show, so they don’t have to wait until they get here to receive a show guide or go to the website,” said Susan Kuzma, manager of special events for Prairieland.

That’s not all that’s new.

“Along with our other educational programs through the speakers’ theatre and our how-to stage, is we’re adding our workshop experience studio,” added Kuzma.

“We have three classes offered over the weekend, so there will be a different class each day.”

For example, you can build your own succulent bowl, or create a pizza or salsa container garden, or try out the paint night. Pre-registration is required, along with a small fee to cover the material costs.

“It gives a hands-on, fun way to come to Gardenscape and be able to create something to take home,” said Kuzma.

What is not new, but possibly the big reason more than 20,000 people come out to Gardenscape (over 22,000 attended last year) is the fresh, outdoorsy, springis-coming aroma and vibe.

“One of the things that’s always special about Gardenscape is it’s always the first sign of spring in the city,” said Kuzma. “There’s a great opportunity to just feel spring inside. There’s a great number of professional gardens so they can get a good feel for how their outdoor garden space might look like this summer.”

The Gardenscape crew, which includes a volunteer AS031911 Aaron committee from local industry and education circles,

Gardenscape is a montage of beautiful colours. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) always chooses a theme flower or plant. This year, it’s celosia (sometimes called cock’s comb), a flowering annual that looks like a fluffy feather and comes in many colours, said Kuzma.

“It’s very popular, and there’s lots of great colours and varieties. That’s why we’ve selected that, specifically. It’s used fairly extensively in most people’s gardens so it’s easy enough to grow.

“This year we’re bringing in about 25 varieties, so that will give people a really good perspective over the different types, different leaf colours, different colours of flowers — about 500 different plants.”

(Continued on page 5) Celosia is the theme plant at Gardenscape.

(Continued from page 4) nce you’ve touched and looked and created, you can also listen.

There’s a seemingly endless list of speakers covering topics that gardeners can use every day at home.

“We’re trying to give people practical information they can use every day, or even think a little bit outside the box — like edible flower gardening,” said Kuzma. “Good bugs, bad bugs — how to keep those pests under control.

There’s another one on controlling your tent caterpillars. Things that would be practical in everybody’s gardening life.”

When you need a break, check out the new wine garden. Have a sip and experience the special lighting, imagining yourself by your own fire pit or in your own gazebo.

“There’s great food too,” Kuzma added. “We try to bring in additional food items, so we have a Prairie Berry Café with homemade berry treats; Prairie Sun Orchard ice cream, with seven flavours; and a bistro and lounge as well, with bistro sandwiches and soups that are homemade.”

On the way out on Sunday, you can also take home some of the plants on display, which go to auction at the end of the event at 6 p.m. And, there will be an art show and sale called Gardenscapes, with 22 artists participating.

“There’s original art pieces people can purchase and take home as well, all with a landscape or a floral design, so they still meet the overall theme,” said Kuzma.

Gardenscape is in its 29th year, and has clearly been a perennial hit with sun-starved, winter-sick Saskatonians.

“We started in the Jubilee Building originally, and it was only a portion of that hall, which would have been around 40,000 square feet,” said Kuzma. “It’s grown substantially since its first year.

We do well over 20,000 people in the three days.”

Gardenscape goes March 23 to 25 at Prairieland Park. Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission $12.50 daily, $18 for two days, $26 for all three.

Entrepreneurship, inventiveness and ingenuity drive both the residents and the economy of many remote villages in various parts of the world, and if North American tourists would just close their mouths and open their eyes and ears, they’d probably learn something.

Persephone promises lots of laughs in upcoming season Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express ersephone Theatre recently unveiled its 2018-2019 season, which will include six plays on the main stage, three productions in the Deep End series and five bonus shows.

The main stage season will open with the touching hit comedy Mom’s the Word, followed by a new stage adaptation of Dashiell Hammett’s detective story The Thin Man, the beloved musical Fiddler on the Roof for the holiday season, the farce Boeing Boeing, CBC broadcaster Tetsuro Shigematsu’s Empire of the Son and Tom Stoppard’s existential comedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

“It’s a pretty big slate; there’s 18 shows in the season. It’s not a small season by any stretch of the imagination,” said artistic director Del Surjik.

Surjik is excited about what’s in store, predicting 2018-2019 will be among Persephone’s funniest seasons.

“Certainly everybody has their own personal sense of humour, but we’ve got quite a few different offerings that have comedic components,” he said, adding it’s also a great season for people who haven’t attended Persephone before to give live theatre a try.

“It’s very interesting to me that I’m constantly told by people, ‘Oh, I really liked the show. This is the first time I’ve been here.’ They’re struck by how much they enjoyed it or how compelling the

story was — or any number of reasons.

“And I keep thinking to myself, ‘There’s so many people that just need to try it.’ We’ve got something for them.

We’ve got something that they’re going to be very excited about.”

Surjik said he thanks Persephone’s audiences for making theatre their entertainment option of choice, noting there are many entertainment options in Saskatoon from which to choose.

“It sounds a little fun and glib — but, the truth is, you have a lot of choice out there. I think we’ve got something that you’re going to value more,” Surjik said.

“I honestly think that theatres are going to grow in the face of the kind of increasing isolation that we find ourselves (in), ironically, through social media and the Internet, where we binge watch Netflix or something like that,” he added.

“Even if you watch at the same time as someone across the city and you’re texting each other about the experience or talking live, you don’t get that feeling where a moment in a play makes you hold your breath together.”

In addition to the main stage shows, the Deep End series will offer The Aliens by Annie Baker, who is described by Persephone “as one of North America’s best new female playwrights.” There will also be three staged readings of the verbatim play Talking to Terrorists and the solo show True Crime, which was created and

is performed by singer-songwriter Torquil Campbell from the indie-pop band Stars.

The five bonus shows include an August main stage production of Circle Game, in which younger artists reimagine the music of Canadian icon Joni Mitchell. The children’s musical Gruff will also be on offer, along with the world premiere of Kamloopa, the epic Jules Verne adventure 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a spoken word and hip hop drama called Cranked for young adults.

As well, the season will include the Persephone Youth Tour, which will bring the shows Jabber and For Arts’ Sake to rural and remote communities in the province. Persephone has also announced a partnership with local playwright Joel Bernbaum and acclaimed director/dramaturge Yvette Nolan to develop a new verbatim play based on race relations.

“The need for us to address this issue has become exceptionally more acute with the recent events in courts, both here and elsewhere,” said Surjik.

He added that “one of the incredible values of theatre” is the opportunity to “walk through a story in other people’s shoes.” That creates a space where opinions can “change or grow,” he said.

“It’s an opportunity for something to penetrate and to affect (viewers), and then they actively choose to change their opinion and evolve their thought. This is a huge contribution to just what it takes to be a good citizen.”

The Elixir Ensemble — Oxana Ossiptchouk (violin), Scott McKnight (cello), James Legge (viola) and Kathleen Solose (piano) — will perform April 8 at Emmanuel Anglican Church. (Photo Supplied) Conducted by Jennifer Lang, the Greystone Singers is a mixed-voice choir open by audition to all University of Saskatchewan students. First organized in 1958, the choir sings a wide range of music — from traditional and classical to sacred and secular — and has performed with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra, the Saskatoon Children’s Choir, the Saskatoon Chamber Singers and other musicians.

Conducted by James Hawn, the nonauditioned University Chorus is an example of the community outreach program of the University of Saskatchewan’s Department of Music. It draws its membership from U of S students, faculty and staff, as well as community members from Saskatoon and area.

During the concert, the Greystones will sing repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary selections and from global to Canadian classics. The combined choirs will perform two numbers together, with one featuring Dean McNeill and Rafaele Rigolo on trumpet, says Lang. As well, she says, the Saskatoon Symphony Chamber Players will be featured alongside the Greystone Singers in a piece from Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo.

The concert will begin at 3 p.m. at Knox United Church. Tickets can be purchased at the door, from choir members or at McNally Robinson Booksellers.

the only ensemble in Saskatoon that specializes in performing mostly chamber music with piano.

“It is an exciting combination, containing all the possible sounds that strings and piano can achieve together — which are infinite,” says Solose. “We have tackled most of the great standard repertoire for this combination, but have also performed a great number of lesser-known gems, including some new works.”

The music of Korngold will be showcased during Elixir’s next concert. Korngold was a prodigy both as a pianist and as a composer and was one of the last great Viennese romantics.

He moved to the U.S. in 1934 on the invitation of the famous film composer Max Reinhardt and began a career as an orchestrator and composer of movie music for Warner Brothers in Hollywood. Many of Korngold’s scores won Oscars and inspired people like John Williams, who claimed Korngold was the inspiration for his Star Wars score, Solose says.

“His music exudes energy and optimism, despite the dark times that he must have lived through. The sheer brilliance and beauty of his music is a joy to play, although it is probably the most demanding we have played so far,” she says.

“We will be performing his wonderful piano quintet, in which he manages to create the sound of a full orchestra — ranging from APRIL 8 ethereal to bombastic.”

Prince Edward Island: Visit Anne, celebrate Confederation

Travel

Cape Tyron Vistas is a must-see for those travelling to P.E.I.

St Dunstan’s Basilica is one of the landmarks in beautiful P.E.I.

TA031908 Tammy

By Doreen Kerby For the Saskatoon Express Prince Edward Island, the smallest of all the provinces, is known for Confederation, Anne of Green Gables and Stompin’ Tom Connors.

The island is also known for its red-sand beaches, lighthouses, fertile farmland. Charlottetown, the capital, is a lovely city with Victorian government buildings and the modern Confederation Centre of the Arts.

Located on Queen’s Square in the historic centre of the city, it was built to honour the Fathers of Confederation on the 100th anniversary and opened to the public in 1964 by Queen Elizabeth II. It is dedicated to the visual and performing arts, showcasing the best in Canadian talent.

Anne of Green Gables: The Musical is the longest-running musical production in the world, performed continuously since 1965.

We also saw the new musical, Anne and Gilbert, with Anne going off to university and falling in love. It was delightful.

When walking in the historic area of Charlottetown, it was interesting to see the Confederation Players, costumed young bilingual Canadians, trained to be living Fathers and Ladies of Confederation.

When one would come up to me and start to talk as if it were 1867, it was challenging to respond with conversation fitting that era. The young man portraying Sir John A. Macdonald was particularly interesting and couldn’t be budged out of that time frame.

P.E.I. is steeped in history. The name Prince Edward honours the fourth son of King George III (father of Queen Victoria) who was commanding British troops in Halifax at that time. It is the most culturally homogeneous region in Canada with most inhabitants from the British Isles and 24 per cent claiming Acadian ancestry.

The potato industry is the most important crop, worth over a billion dollars a year to the economy. They even have a potato museum at O’Leary, a small town in western P.E.I. Fisheries are also very important with lobster the most valuable seafood, followed by scallops and oysters.

To get to and fro, the island has two ferry systems and

the Confederation Bridge, completed in 1997 to link the province to New Brunswick.

The bridge is 12.9 kilometres long and has greatly increased tourism to the island. It is the longest bridge in the world crossing ice-covered water, and is considered one of the top engineering achievements of the 20th century.

Jacques Cartier described Canada’s smallest province in 1534 as “the fairest land that may possibly be seen.” Its deep red soil, a striking feature, is due to the high concentration of iron oxides.

The province extends 224 kilometres with a width that ranges from four to 60 kilometres. The surface ranges from nearly level in the west, hilly in the central region and gently rolling hills in the east. The highest elevation is only 142 metres in central Queens County, the lowest of all the provinces.

Before leaving P.E.I., make sure to visit the Stompin’ Tom Centre, Schoolhouse & Homestead near the village of Tignish at the extreme northwestern tip of the island.

Tom Connors was born in Saint John, N.B. to an alcoholic teenage mother in 1936, but was placed in the care of Children’s Aid when he was eight.

A year later he was adopted by a family in Skinners Pond, P.E.I. He ran away when he was 15 with nothing but an old guitar.

He worked across Canada but considered Skinners Pond to be home. In the ’70s, he bought the home where he was raised and the schoolhouse.

The Stompin’ Tom Centre at Skinners Pond was designed to cost $1.7 million, but because of financial problems was scaled back to $1.2 million.

Dinner theatres are held two nights a week and a ceilidh — a musical gathering — is held once a week.

It opened to the public on Canada Day in 2017 and will certainly keep his music and memory alive.

Before he died of kidney failure in 2013, he thanked his fans for their support and asked Canadians to keep the Maple Leaf flying high. A statement under his photo in the Confederation Book says it best.

“If you don’t believe your country should come before yourself, you can better serve your country by living somewhere else.”

Policies must work from Riversdale to Rocanville: Meili

“T

(Continued from page 1) here’s a personal connection.

There’s also a recognition that the NDP does have work to do in rural Saskatchewan. It may be having elected somebody from rural Saskatchewan brings a signal that’s important to us.”

Meili says there’s a growing sense that the Sask. Party is taking rural Saskatchewan for granted, shown, for example, by the closing down of the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC).

“There’s an appetite out there for a different approach but we have to be out there listening to the rural challenges and to the ideas,” he said. “People in rural Saskatchewan are smart; they have great ideas for what can make a difference. If we do that, show the dedication by spending time in the communities, and then in our platform reflecting those desires and dreams back to them and the policies we put forward . . . we have a great opportunity to grow.”

He gives the example of a visit to Lemberg, population 150, where 200 people came out for a town hall meeting about the Sask. Party government’s plan to sell off rural housing units for seniors.

“The majority of the people in that park that day were not our voters. But they were fired up about that issue, and they were ready to come and talk to the NDP. I ran for this leadership in 2009 and 2013, and the crowds this time around were much bigger, many more people in rural Saskatchewan coming out to our events.”

group that’s over-represented in poverty is Indigenous people, and I want to really work closely with First Nations and Métis leaders, the provincial and federal government, to close the gap in health and justice and economic and educational outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.”

He admires an approach now being taken by the Australian government, which produces a “gap report” every year to benchmark health, education, income, justice and other outcomes.

“Each year as premier I would get up and give a speech in the house, elevated to the level of a budget or a throne speech, about our progress on that file and what we do next. I think that would change the priority level. I’ve been in the house for a year and we’ve hardly discussed this at all; and it’s a massive issue in our province.”

Addressing climate change Another huge policy piece for Meili is responding to climate change and coming up with a made-in-Saskatchewan response to reducing emissions and shifting to a renewable energy approach.

“We’ve already lost $62 million because we failed to sign on (to the federal climate change framework) and we’re at great risk of having a plan that was designed by Justin Trudeau as a result, instead of designing something of our own.

“What I would do is work with Saskatchewan farmers, Saskatchewan business leaders, environmental experts and economic experts to figure out what’s the design of a model that will allow us to achieve those Third time the charm Indeed, the third run for leader was the reductions in emissions and drop the level charm for Meili, who lost by just 44 votes of pollution but at the same time create new opportunities in jobs, renewable energy, in 2013.

Meili said he firmly believes the NDP months old (they call him Gus for short).

The family speaks French at home, but can win the next election.

“There is an appetite for change in Meili also speaks Spanish and Portuguese, languages he needed when he took a year Saskatchewan and people are looking very seriously at the NDP.

EcoVision owners proud to be from Saskatoon

“T

(Continued from page 3) here’s not too much competition here in Canada which is one of the reasons why I wanted to start a sunglasses company,” Kadachuk said. “The majority of people buy either higher-end brands or something from your local gas station. We wanted to create a brand where we are right in the middle and provide a high-quality product at an affordable price.”

EcoVision Eyewear glasses sell for between $120 and $150.

“Our prices should always be reasonable. That’s one thing we want to have over the competitors is reasonably-priced frames because a lot of people do overprice their products, especially nowadays.

We are trying to make our product fair for our customers,” Kadachuk said.

Their initial order was 900 pairs of sunglasses. They come in four styles with 32 colour combinations.

“Things are going pretty steady,” Kadachuk said. “We’re getting a lot of support from the community. We are getting the word out on social media, which is really important for us.”

He said they would like celebrity endorsements and will be reaching out to local and national people of influence. So far, members of a band and a person working for the Philadelphia Flyers have their sunglasses.

“We are a small company now so I feel like as we go, we are going to get more interest from people who are celebrities.

We have a lot of people in mind. There are a lot of successful people from Saskatchewan. We want to base our company on being local and being from Saskatchewan.

We are proud to be from Saskatchewan and based out of Saskatoon.”

He said the two were patient, taking ap-

proximately two years to get the sunglasses to market. There is no doubt Beuker’s finance degree has played a key role in the company.

“The schooling has helped with quite a bit of this stuff, like the business plan. I had a class that was basically dedicated to writing a business plan,” he said.

The two are grateful for the funding they received from the Business Development Bank of Canada and the information a local centre named Square One offers to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

They singled out Chris Turmaine for his guidance.

“We have a lot of drive,” Kadachuk said.

“We had a vision and the two of us went for it. We want to do something with our lives and want to say we did something. A lot of people are used to taking the beaten path in life, you know, go to school, get a job. We want to try to do something else with our lives and see where it takes us.”

They have advice for others thinking of going into business.

“If you are really confident in yourself and have confidence in your business idea, follow your dreams and don’t let people tell you not to. People are easily discouraged by other people’s words. If you truly believe in yourself and the product you can bring to people, you just have to go for it,” said Kadachuk.

“Another thing I want to stress is being patient. It took us two years to start this and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. You don’t want to rush anything.

That’s when you start making mistakes.

And reach out to other entrepreneurs for advice,” he stressed.

For more information and to purchase sunglasses, go to www.facebook.com/ ecovisioneyewear/ or https://ecovisioneyewear.ca/.

Pouches for the sunglasses are made in Ghana.

The glasses retail from between $120 and $150.

WE ARE SO IN LOVE AND THANK YOU

Dear Lianne, It has been a while since we spoke. If I could stand on a roof top and and tell the world how happy we are I most certainly would! I joined Camelot Introductions in the Spring of 2015. You explained to me how you were so unlike online dating and I appreciated how you meet everyone and interview them personally. I felt at ease knowing that you had checked their criminal record and they were non smokers. After my experience online I did not want to meet people who were not

authenticated. You stated right upfront that your process can take time and my responsibility was to call into your 24 hour number every three weeks. I did and was becoming increasingly doubtful that the process was going to work for me. Boy was I ever wrong! One Monday evening your assistant called me with a profile you had selected for me. To be honest, he sounded too good to be true! I agreed to speak with Brent assuming there would be something that I discovered early on that would be a deal breaker. I remember

calling you in a panic when I was going to meet with him. You calmed me down and told me to be myself and just act as if you were going to meet a friend. We took your advice and did an activity. Well my heart nearly jumped out of my throat when I saw Brent. In a very short while I truly felt like we had been life long friends.

Brent and I continued to date and enjoyed one another immensely. My family and friends adore him. He is everything I could have ever asked for and more. On February 14th Brent asked me to marry

him and I said of course!

We are busy making plans and have put you as the first one on our guest list. It will be our honor to have you at our wedding.

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dreams come true. We are forever grateful.

Donna Dear Donna, Congratulations! I knew when I met Brent that the two of you would be perfect together. It would be my pleasure to attend your wedding and you are most welcome!

Derek Keenan:

has scratched up a deal for you!

The man behind the success of the Rush Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express ad it not been for a twist of fate, Derek Keenan could have been reviving the Toronto Rock dynasty instead of building the Rush franchise into a National Lacrosse League powerhouse.

Back in 2009, the Oshawa, Ont., native appeared to be in position to stay close to his hometown.

“I was coaching in Portland, and Portland folded,” said Keenan. “I was actually hired by Toronto to be their new head coach and general manager, and at the same time, they were changing ownership.

“The team was sold, and the new owner decided that he wanted a different direction. Even though I had been hired by the previous ownership, it was a situation where they decided they wanted someone else.

“I was free again, and I ended up in Edmonton. That is kind of how it happened.”

Keenan had finished up his fourth season guiding the Portland LumberJax franchise when the team folded. He had success there, being named the NLL’s coach of the year and general manager of the year in 2006.

In 2008, Keenan guided the LumberJax to the NLL championship game, where they dropped a heartbreaking 14-13 decision to the Buffalo Bandits.

The LumberJax went 9-7 in the 2009 regular season, and the team’s players were divided throughout the league via a dispersal draft after the campaign concluded.

Before coaching Portland, Keenan was an assistant coach for the Toronto Rock when they won NLL titles in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003. He was a player and an assistant coach for the first championship win.

Keenan appeared to be set to return to the Rock, but with the team’s ownership situation in flux, his hiring was never officially announced.

Joined Rush in 2009 When it became clear Oakville, Ont., businessman James Dawick was going to buy the Rock and Keenan wouldn’t be part of the franchise’s future, he joined the Rush as head coach and general manager in June 2009, when the franchise was in Edmonton.

The team moved to Saskatoon to become the Saskatchewan Rush before the start of the 2016 campaign, and Keenan is now in his ninth season with the squad.

“It is kind of unprecedented where someone is with an organization for that long,” said Keenan. “It was sort of a little bit of a fluky thing, and I’ve been there ever since and certainly have enjoyed my time there.”

With the Rush, the accolades continued to pile up. Keenan was named both the NLL’s coach of the year and general manager of the year in 2010 and 2014.

The championships came too. The Rush captured the NLL crown in their final season in Edmonton in 2015 and in their first season playing out of Saskatoon in 2016.

On April 22, 2017, Keenan earned his 122nd career NLL coaching victory to become the circuit’s all-time most winning coach with a 15-10 win over the Rock before 15,045 spectators at the SaskTel Centre.

The 56-year-old showed his sense of humour when ask to reflect on that record.

“I’m old,” said Keenan with a laugh.

“I’ve been doing it a long time.”

ONLY AT:

40 Rush coach/GM Derek Keenan was almost a Rock. (Photo by Darren Steinke) He proceeded to talk seriously after the chuckle.

“You know what, the majority of the success has come with the Rush,” said Keenan. “If you look at especially the last five or six years, we’ve won a lot of games.

“There is not anybody even close to what our record has been the last five or six years. It has been a real success story with this team especially kind of coming from where it started.

“We weren’t a very successful team our first four years in the league. We’ve been fortunate enough to really build something powerful and strong and successful.”

Rush rolling Before Keenan arrived, the Rush failed to make the playoffs in each of their first four years of existence, posting a 16-48 record in regular-season play. In Keenan’s first season with the team in 2010, the Rush made the playoffs for the first time with a 10-6 record.

Since then, they have only missed the post-season once, with that coming in Keenan’s second campaign in 2011.

Keenan said he hopes his players take more than just the memories of the wins and losses with them when the time comes that they are no longer with the team.

“We think we recruit and we draft and we bring in good people,” said Keenan.

“You hope that you kind of continue to build character and not be necessarily great players but be good people.

“That is kind of the way we built our team, and you hope that they leave here being maybe as good or a better person than when they arrived. That is kind of the way we approach it. We want good characters, and we want to build good character.”

During his playing career, Keenan said he was fortunate to be influenced by a number of strong coaches including Jim Bishop during his time in junior lacrosse and Peter Vipond during his days in senior A. Both Bishop and Vipond are members of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

Another big influence on Keenan was the late Les Bartley, who was the Rock’s legendary head coach and general manager during Keenan’s time with the team. Keenan also played under Bartley as head coach on the Buffalo Bandits NLL championship winning teams in 1992 and 1993.

From the influences of those three, Keenan developed a style of being more of a player’s coach.

“I put a lot of trust in our players,” said Keenan. “You have to have talent, but it goes to character as well.

“When you have guys that are good people, you can trust them. Then it comes to being prepared, and we put a lot of pride in our preparation and we always have.

“It makes it a much better winning

environment and successful environment and fun environment. You have to at times be hard, but at the same time, it is nice to have players that you trust and you know that you are going to be successful with, because they are good character people.”

Since the start of the 2017 season, Keenan has had the opportunity to coach his son, Ryan.

“Honestly, it is kind of seamless for us, because I coached him for so long that we are just so familiar with one another that he is just another player,” said Keenan. “It is awesome that he is my son and we are close, but he is just another player.

“That is the way we approach it, and we always have. I’ve coached him since he was three years old. It is not like it is new.”

The Rush picked Ryan with the first overall selection in the 2016 NLL draft.

The elder Keenan said Ryan was the consensus top pick, but there were discussions around possible extra pressure on the young player, being the coach’s son at the professional level.

DrAfting son right choice “We had a lot of discussions over that not — only Ryan and I, but from our ownership,” said Keenan. “At the end of the day, it was the right choice.

“We just move on, and we just approach things like we always have. We just approach it as a professional relationship and away we go.”

Keenan has also enjoyed the reception his team has received since arriving in Saskatchewan with the Rush being branded as the province’s team.

“It has been incredible,” said Keenan.

“I don’t think anybody could have honestly predicted how well it has gone in terms of our success on and off the floor.

“We’re at near capacity every game.

They are compassionate and very loud and passionate fans. It is a fun place to be. It has just been great.”

Q: How do you have a funeral that isn’t depressing?

A: While it’s natural to be sad at a loved one’s passing, a funeral does not have to be a sombre event. A funeral can be a celebration of a life with photo collages and favourite music.

Friends and family can gather and share in the memories of that person’s life.

Trump picks March Madness winner

can’t let it go. I’m still annoyed by Brad Gushue’s arrogance at the Tim Hortons Brier. He berated his teammates on national television, wondered why he doesn’t have more input into how Curling Canada runs the game and, get this, told TSN he is glad his children are growing up so they will see “Daddy is one of the best curlers in the world.” Who says that? Did Wayne Gretzky ever tell a reporter he was one of the greatest hockey players in the world? I don’t think so.

C’mon, Brad. You’re not bigger than the game that has treated you so well.

• From Torben Rolfsen: “Trump filled out his bracket and has MSU winning it all.

Moscow State.”

Janice Hough, on Barack Obama tweeting out his NCAA brackets: “Trump will not share his publicly, but no doubt Sarah Huckabee Sanders will announce after The Tournament that he had a perfect score.”

• TC Chong, on Major League Baseball wanting to speed up its games to attract millennials, who find the games too long and boring: “How about eliminating the anthem, God Bless America, Take Me Out to the Ball Game and Sweet Caroline? That’ll save 25 minutes.”

• With the growing popularity of mixed doubles, I am wondering if curling will have to pick up the pace in its 10-end games.

• I laughed out loud when a Toronto columnist wrote that Frederik Andersen should be in the mix for the Vezina Trophy. Is he a top 10 goalie? Barely?

• Tiger Woods’ ex, Elin Nordegren, has

put her 29,000-square-foot mansion up for sale, according to the Wall Street Journal. The asking price for the 11-bedroom, 15-bathroom beauty is $49.5 million. Isn’t it amazing what a 9-iron can do?

• From Chong: “How about Uber delivering pitchers from the bullpen?”

• Hough, on Trump and Kim Jong-un agreeing to meet: “If only the meeting was between the Korean leader and someone a bit more rational — like Dennis Rodman.”

• Chong, on doctors in Northern Ireland discovering a man who had an air bubble where part of his brain should have been: “Big deal. Head offices around the world are staffed with people like that.”

• I am glad my sons grew up fast enough to see that this is one of the best sports columns in the world.

• Hough, on the death of longtime University of Texas baseball coach Augie Garrido, 79: “One of the best to coach amateur teams in history. Even counting Casey Stengel with the 1962 Mets.”

• Ken Singleton, one of my favourite Expos, announced this will be his final season as a broadcaster. “I’ve been playing or talking baseball since I was four years old. It’s time for this enjoyable ride to end.” Hard to believe, but Singleton is now 70.

• Hough, on Richard Sherman signing with the 49ers: “Well, San Francisco may not make the playoffs next year, but they sure got a lot more quotable.”

• Will the Leafs and Raptors hold their parades together?

Views of the World

Sweeping changes in curling

By RJ Currie ive terms from the Kansas City Royals anti-pornography seminar: 5. Foul tips; 4. Caught looking; 3.

Squeezes; 2. Switch hitters; 1. Scoring positions.

• At least 10 Canadian women’s skips will be curling with new people next season. There haven’t been so many ladies x-ed out or pencilled in since Wilt Chamberlain’s black book.

• A sure sign the Raptors are having their best season ever with a five-game lead in the NBA East? Toronto was mentioned twice last week on ESPN. • Say what you want about men’s bobsledding, but it’s one sport where you know for sure if the guy behind you really, really likes you.

• According to a new global study, Detroit is one of the most dangerous U.S. cities to visit. Unless you’re an NHL team.

• Loyola’s upset win over Miami started with a pre-game prayer from 98-year-old chaplain Sister Jean. The Hurricanes were favoured to win, but the Ramblers were having nun of it.

• Kerri Einarson, Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard and Briane Meilleur have formed a new “super team” made up of former skips. One question: Who’s going to do the sweeping?

• A cat invaded the pitch during a UEFA clash between Besiktas and Bayern Munich. Might be the first soccer

match ever to feature four legs.

• Sergio García’s new baby girl, Azalea, is named for a flower common at Augusta where he won the 2017 Masters. The kid is lucky Dad didn’t win the Waste Management Open.

• The Ohio State vs. South Dakota State first-round game saw more than 70 three-pointers attempted. What? Did someone tell them “the paint” was wet?

• Rumour has it Team Russia is under added scrutiny heading into the women’s world curling championship.

No, not PEDS — their brooms tested positive for pine tar.

• Canadian skier Dave Duncan is still apologizing for his drunken PyeongChang arrest. Enough. As they say in curling: let he who has never been stoned throw the first rock.

• Charlize Theron, who got the Best Actress Oscar for Monster, was honorary starter for Danica Patrick’s last NASCAR race. So at least one female winner was there.

• Another reason I want to be an NFL quarterback: Drew Brees signing with New Orleans for “only” $25 million a year is being hailed as a sacrificing hero.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week The inventor of petroleum jelly, Robert Chesebrough, claimed he ate a teaspoon of Vaseline every day. I find that hard to swallow.

SASKATOONEXPRESS - March 19-25, 2018 - Page 16

Try this recipe for homemade mayo from yellowing in the future, add a half cup vinegar to every wash.

Cheesy Advice 1. Whenever we have a wine and cheese party, or make a platter of cheeses for a luncheon or for dessert, we usually eat the leftovers within a few days if there is not much left. But, if I know the cheese will go to waste, I freeze it long enough so that I can grate it in the food processor. I also freeze all the cheese leftovers whether they are brie, camembert, St. Paulin, St. André, cheddars, mild, old, goat cheese etc. As I grate the cheese, I put it into a large bowl, so that I can mix everything.

Then I fill freezer bags with 2-3 cups of the mixture, date them and store them in the freezer. You can use this mixture (frozen or let it soften a bit, then just break them with a wooden spoon) for mac and cheese, or anything “au gratin.” This also makes super grilled cheese sandwiches. I use a Kraft slice and top it with the mixture for omelets, quiches or anything you use cheese with.

2. My other tip is for storing cheese.

I like to buy 350-400 gram slabs of old or mild, especially when the cheese is on

sale. I cut the slab into eight pieces and tightly wrap each piece with plastic wrap.

The cheese keeps well, and does not get mouldy because I only open one piece at a time. — Pauline Tips for the Kitchen Here is a time-saving tip for bacon.

After bringing bacon home from the store, broil or fry it as usual. Make sure that the bacon is not overcooked. Freeze or refrigerate. When ready to use, pull it out and quickly reheat.

Store unwashed zucchini inside a plastic bag, poking a few holes into the bag first. Store inside the crisper. Or slice and blanch zucchini for two minutes. Put into freezer bags or plastic containers and into the freezer. To thaw remove zucchini from freezer, drain and use.

Keep basil perky for at least one week by treating it like freshly cut flowers. Trim the ends. In a glass or vase of water, stand basil and cover with a loose piece of plastic wrap. Leave on your countertop.
