Dave Elder: Inducted into Hall of Fame for building athletes

ave Elder spent 32 of his 36 years as a teacher around Holy Cross athletic venues where he was virtually a man for all seasons. A typical year, in the school’s chronological order, would include service as a defensive backfield coach with the football team in the fall, building a wrestling team from scratch and producing champions during the winter and achieving a successful conclusion People every spring with the track and field team. “We, as teachers, insisted on excellence,” said Elder, “and we taught the athletes if they were going to do their jobs, do their jobs well. Success tends to breed success. That came with challenges. As soon as we began developing championship teams, there was always a target on our backs. Yet we continued to succeed. “What you saw from our young, wonderful athletes was special,” he added, “but the great joy was watching them become wonderful adults.” For his contributions as a teacher and community leader, Elder is being inducted into the builders’ category of the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 3 at TCU Place. Wrestling was a program which Elder built and he never missed a season. There were 35 wrestlers when he held his first camp, but victories came in time and when he retired, Holy Cross owned 10 provincial titles among boys, one among girls and there was the memorable time in 2012 when they won both. He coached Andrew Johnson, Josh Bod-

Probably the most resounding story belonged to Viola Yanik, who finished fifth at the 2004 Olympic Games. “Viola came out in 1997 as a Grade 9 student. She was very strong, very athletic so I had her train with the boys. She won the city all four years and she finished fourth in her first year in provincials. She was incredibly focussed,” said Elder. “At the Olympics, the wrestlers were entered in pools. In her pool, she lost a match to a Chinese wrestler, but beat the American and finished second. When she lost her rematch to the American, the silver medal eventually went to the American and Viola was fifth. Over a strong career, she won silver at the World University Games, second in the Pan-American Games and third in the world championships.” In track and field, Elder lured former

Community

Saskatchewan Roughrider Dan Farthing and former National Hockey Leaguer Curtis Leschyshyn into pole vaulting and opened new competitive doors for Vanessa Monar Enweani and Catriona Lemay Doan. “I didn’t discover Vanessa until Grade 10 and she told me she’d previously done some dancing. I got her into the sprints and into the high jump. One day she told me she was never comfortable in the 200. I took her outside and we tried what was then called the hop, step and jump. On the first try she jumped farther than the provincial record. I told her she’d never have to run another 200,” said Elder. “With Catriona, she’d been training all those years in speed skating and she stepped right into sprinting so easily, competing in each of her four years. She skipped her high school graduation banquet to take part in the provincial track finals.” Monar Enweani competed internationally

for Canada in track and field; Lemay Doan became an Olympic speed skating gold medallist at 500 metres in both 1998 and 2002. Elder inherited the track and field coaching job from Ron Zerr, who later came back briefly, but the telling statistic is that he was part of the unbelievable run of 22 consecutive years of winning the city championship. Many of his pole vault products won provincial titles as well. In football, Elder joined Dave Hardy’s football staff and has worked with current coach Scott Hundseth in recent years. The Holy Cross numbers are amazing. While he was on staff, they won back-to-back provincial crowns in 1985 and 1986 and again in 1994 and 1995. Many advanced to the Saskatoon Hilltops and the University of Saskatchewan Huskies; Farthing and Quinn Magnuson played in the Canadian Football League. (Continued on page 5)

Morreale was asked what will make the league successful. “The benchmarks in Saskatchewan and Saskatoon are going to be far higher than they will be in some places, just based on what is done here.” The league’s CEO used to play against the Roughriders while a member of the Tiger-Cats and he knows how lacrossecrazy this town has become. “We have set conservative goals in terms of numbers, in terms of ticket sales,” he said of the league as a whole. “We have control because of how we are operating out of the league office to take control of the merchandizing, the national sponsors, the ticketing, the scheduling, the broadcast strategies; there are a lot of opportunities. “We want to be around for a long time so making money is obviously a priority but it has to go hand in hand with everything else.” Genier was a tad testy when a reporter mentioned the failure of three previous basketball leagues that passed through town. “That was two generations ago; you’re looking back to the ’90s. The world has changed dramatically. Basketball is the No. 1 played sport in North America and one of the fastest growing sports. You can’t compare us back to 1990.” He’s right. “I would love to see the building sold out; there is nothing better than a sold-out building.” I’m not going to roll my eyes, Lee.

Hoops tourney returns to city for encore

Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express ichael Lieffers and Michael Linklater still can’t get the sight and sound of the home crowd out of their heads. A year ago, downtown Saskatoon played host to a FIBA 3x3 World Tour Masters basketball event that featured a hometown team comprised of Lieffers, Linklater and Nolan Brudehl, as well as Edmonton product Steve Sir. Lieffers, Linklater and Brudehl were members of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies men’s team that won the U Sports national title in 2010. Thanks to the local connection, fans flocked to the court located at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and 21st Street to see Team Saskatoon play. The team made it to the event’s title game, falling 21-14 to Team Ljubljana from Slovenia. “Last year’s tournament was a great, great experience,” said Lieffers, who stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 220 pounds. “People came out in overwhelming numbers. “I was really happy to see that, and it was really good for the basketball community of Saskatoon to kind of show that support. It was amazing playing in front of the hometown. It just felt really, really, good to be back home and playing in front of all your friends and family.” The local squad will get to do all again. The foursome will be one of the competing teams at the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Masters event, which is set for July 21-22 and will be held in conjunction with Taste of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon is the first stop on the 2018 World Tour, which culminates with the Bloomage Beijing Final in China on Oct. 27-28. Linklater said the reception his team received was similar to the days playing with the Huskies, but there was a unique

(Photos by Darren Steinke) feeling as well. “It was something different,” said Linklater, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 194 pounds. “In a sense, yes, being at home and having family and friends support was like a flashback. “I felt like the support was greater than when we were with the Huskies, so it just took it to a different level. I think a lot of people from Saskatoon were really impressed with the event. I’m not sure if they were expecting what they got in terms of the venue. “It was a pleasant surprise for everyone.” The World Tour Masters event is slated to have 12 teams take part in the main competition. An amateur three-versusthree tournament is being planned to take place on satellite courts alongside the main tournament court. Basketball is just part of the showcase. Saskatoon’s stop is expected to contain a slam dunk contest and shootout contest, which will take place between games along with live music, cheerleaders, dance

teams and other entertainment. Lieffers and Linklater have been playing three-versus-three basketball for about six years. So far this season, the team has played well. In April, Saskatoon won a Challenger tournament in South Korea, downing Team Zemun from Serbia 17-11 in the title game. Team Zemun won last year’s FIBA 3x3 World Tour title. The Saskatoon side played as Team Canada at the FIBA 3x3 World Cup basketball tournament June 9-12 in the Philippines. The team won all four of its games in pool play before falling in the quarterfinal 18-16 to the Netherlands. On June 17, playing as Team Saskatoon, the squad won a Challenger tournament in China. On July 1, they lost out in the semifinals at a Challenger tournament in Puerto Rico. “We know we are right there,” said Lieffers. “In China, we finally put a few games together and won the whole tournament, so we are really happy with that.” Under FIBA rules for three-versus-

three, all games go to 21 points or whatever the final score is after 10 minutes elapse. Shots inside the arch are worth one point and shots outside the arch are worth two points. FIBA rules call for a 12-second shot clock, and the ball has to be cleared beyond the arch. After a basket is scored, it is live for the other team to take possession where the ball falls. Linklater said there were no major rule changes from last year, but the officials are calling fouls more closely than they did a year ago. “It is physical but not as physical in terms of what the refs are going to allow,” said the 35-year-old point guard. “The game is being called a lot tighter than it was in previous years. “That is something you might see as a difference. I hope that the sun is shining and the wind is in our favour rather than blowing across the prairies and blowing that basketball into another street. We’d prefer that the winds are quiet.” (Continued on page 5)

There’s a reason I was born in that season. This is our rhythm. No mandated green bin imposed by a new civic garbage regime is going to change that. What I do want to know, however, is if we never have anything in our organics bin, are we still paying full pop for pickup? Or let’s say we’re overrun with neighbourly clippings and a particularly sudden leaf fall, and we do use it once or twice: will we be paying a reduced rate? There will apparently be three trash bin sizes, if I understand the city’s new proposal correctly. What about our organic bins? Can we have a little baby one of those? Here’s the thing about what’s heading for the landfill. Fifty-eight per cent of it is organics. Holy cow, or rather, holy zucchini: that seems like a spectacular proportion. I’m here to tell you most of that ain’t necessary (see The Blob.) Furthermore, business garbage diversion from the landfill is not going very well. Will businesses be charged appropriately with this new system? I assume so, but perhaps I shouldn’t. I have not yet absorbed the fine details of the proposal. Unlike others, I think I support this crazy idea. Maybe it’s because we don’t create an awful lot of garbage; sometimes our bin is still partly empty at the end of a month, so hopefully, we could take a small bin and pay less. Maybe it’s because this composting thing really works (although, you really need a guy like mine to make it happen, I think. Commitment is required, as is space.) But I don’t want to pay rates above my taxes that are unfair to our little green efforts. There’s the rub. City council: discuss. Thank you.

Elder represented Sask. at three Canada Games

(Continued from page 1) e still assists with the defensive backfield where recent success was a string of six straight city titles from 2011 to 2016. Born in Estevan and raised in Moose Jaw, Elder fed his competitive spirit as a diver, wrestler and pole vaulter in the days of aluminum poles. Just as he was enrolling at the U of S, the university cancelled its swimming and diving programs. He was allowed to attend the Canada West diving championships in 1974 and won two events handily but didn’t receive any medals because the U of S didn’t officially have a full team. He also attended the CIAU championships where he was winning until he crashed and had to settle for fourth place. Over the years, he represented Saskatchewan at the Canada Games in 1973, 1977 and 1981. Most times, Saskatoon divers would go to Winnipeg to train. When the 1989 Canada Summer Games came to Saskatoon and the platforms had been improved at Harry Bailey pool, Elder was the meet manager. He has also orga-

nized the national diving championships and MasterCard Dive Canada when they came to Saskatoon. He hails the current Shaw Centre, saying “you couldn’t ask for a better facility.” He has also managed national age group wrestling tournaments and ran the Saskatchewan high school finals as recently as 2016. He and Shelley Zerr are nudging towards a 41st wedding anniversary in August. They met at a swimming pool. Both sons, Jonathan, who is 32, and Jeffrey, who is 28, attended Holy Cross and Jeffrey is now in his third year at the U of S College of Medicine. Jonathan was born with spina bifidia and hydrocephalus. He has been in a wheelchair virtually since birth. He now lives in Cheshire Homes and is a participant at Cosmo Industries. “I try to take Jonathan wherever I go. He is so recognizable. Sometimes he’s out on those cold football fields. He has been a great role model through all his years. He always tells the others that he’s my supervisor. He also skis and he swims without life support. Truly an inspiration!” said Elder.

Support lifts team to higher level

(Continued from page 3) inklater said the overall competition level at the Saskatoon event will be higher than it was a year ago. “The teams that are going to be in the event this year are going to be much tougher than last year,” said Linklater. “The world tour is getting more difficult, because the teams are getting better. “There are a lot of teams including ourselves that have made some slight changes, some slight tweaks. I believe our team has gotten better than last year.” Even with that in mind, Lieffers believes his Saskatoon side can win the event. “The teams are going to be good,” said the 31-year-old forward. “We’ve beaten every team there, and they have beaten us a few times too. “I think with the home crowd on our side we are going to go all the way this year.”

Linklater said it meant a lot to have the hometown crowd behind Team Saskatoon last year, and he believes the atmosphere will be the same at this year’s tournament. He said his team gets a lift from the fans. “We’ve played around the world, and there have been many locations and many hometown teams that we’ve actually had to face,” said Linklater. “To hear their crowd supporting them was something we had never experienced. “For us to have that experience here at home, it was a great opportunity for us. The amount of support that we were given prior to the event, during the event and during our games really pushed us to another level. “It took away any fatigue that we may have had. For us, it was a great experience. It was a lot of fun.” (You can see more of Darren Steinke’s work in his online blog stankssermon. blogspot.ca.)

Of course, there were the communications between the business community, city-operated departments, the health and school boards. Didn’t the city do this when preparing for the no smoking bylaw, adult sex services and school speed zones? Who paid for that administrative service? Is city hall communicating with some of these same entities in implementing the proposed bike and bus routes?

Not once did I see a city official darken the doorway to check on any breach of bylaw. The reality is most bylaw infractions are complaint driven. Regarding the $10,000 for a public survey, with other matters of importance to the public, be it bike lanes, garbage pickup or bus service, why didn’t the city just do its usual online survey? Why not use the same bylaw template for the sale of cannabis that is used for outlets that sell alcohol and tobacco? Furthermore, they can simply include the smoking of cannabis in the no-smoking bylaw. The great hypocrisy is council saying it wants to treat all legal businesses equally when determining the locales for cannabis stores, but they are not so concerned about equality when it comes down to licensing fees.

Dream moving into next phase of Willows development

ream Unlimited Corp. (Dream), one of Canada’s leading real estate companies, is set to submit the final concept for its development of Westhills at the Willows (Westhills) in south Saskatoon. As the third residential phase of the Willows, a premier residential golf community, Westhills is designed to enhance resident connectivity to community amenities at the Willows. The new phase will launch in tandem with an improved clubhouse at the Willows, as well as a modified golf course. Westhills is designed to fit seamlessly within existing residential phases of the Willows, and it will feature multi-family developments, estate homes and semi-estate homes backing onto the golf course and green space. Thoughtful renovations to the golf course and additions to the clubhouse will strengthen each destination as a community hub, cultivating a stronger sense of place for golfers and residents while welcoming the broader Saskatoon community. “At Dream, we recognize that the heart of a community is wherever residents connect. In developing the best community possible, Dream is focused on integrating Westhills with the exciting changes ahead for the Willows golf course and clubhouse,” said Brad Zurevinski, General Manager of Dream in Saskatoon. “From the selection of custom homes, to new pathways and green spaces that improve residents’ way of life, Dream looks forward to making Westhills a welcome addition to the Willows and Saskatoon.” Providing residents with natural walkability and recreation played a key role in Dream’s concept for Westhills, which will

include the introduction of a unique multimodal pathway system. The new pathway system will weave throughout and around the golf course, thoughtfully connecting residents, golfers, walkers and bikers alike to the community’s rolling landscape, golf course ponds, beautiful views of the course and the clubhouse. The unique pathway system will also connect residents and visitors to a number of notable park and playground spaces in store for the community. With active Saskatoon families at all stages of life in mind, Westhills will introduce the Willows’ first park spaces and playgrounds, providing current and future residents with unprecedented opportunities to play, explore and connect within the community they call home. Throughout Westhills’ development, the Willows will transform its current 27hole golf course into a world-class 18-hole course in future years. The Willows’ future golf course layout — led by renowned golf course architect Douglas Carrick, founder of Carrick Design Inc. — will introduce exciting modifications to holes positioned throughout the Bridges, Lakes and Island courses. The redesign will also provide an expanded driving range, all aimed at improving safety and playability while preserving resident privacy. More details of the future golf course layout will be available at a later date. “Carrick Design is excited to collaborate with Dream on the new Willows golf course and bring an enhanced golf experience to Saskatoon residents for years to come,” said Carrick. “With updated golf course features,

Clubhouse facilities at the Willows will be revitalized as part of the development. to improved course conditioning and overall appearance, this redesign will align the quality of the golf course with the thriving community that surrounds it.” In addition to its new golf course design, the Willows has revitalization plans for its clubhouse facilities to provide services more directly suited to the needs of residents and clubhouse visitors. Proposed changes to the clubhouse include a refresh of the building’s exterior and interior, a renovated patio space with stunning views of the course and a new clubhouse restaurant concept. The Willows’ transformed

clubhouse will not only serve as a beautiful, modern space for larger events but also provide versatile, technologically-equipped facilities to better accommodate everything from wedding receptions to conferences and all-day corporate retreats. Development of Westhills, which includes approximately five sub-phases within its design, is anticipated to reach completion within the next 10 years.

Design a dream outdoor entertaining space

Appliances are the cornerstone of kitchen design

pon the arrival of warm weather, many individuals prefer to spend their free time outside, relishing the fresh air and sunshine and evenings spent under the stars. But cracked patios and makeshift chairs and tables may not establish the desired ambiance. An outdoor entertaining area that offers the same amenities found inside a home can make outdoor retreats both comfortable and functional. Creative planning can help homeowners design dream areas perfect for hosting friends or family. Establish goals As with any project, the first step when coordinating outdoor living areas is to determine what you hope to achieve with the space. Will it be a location for lounging? Will people be cooking meals outside? Is the pool the central focus of the yard? Answering these questions and more can help homeowners decide how to design their entertaining spaces. Remember, however, that goals may evolve as landscape designers and even architects make their own suggestions for the space or present limitations.

By Danielle Bertsch, Trail Appliances staff writer tart your kitchen design by choosing your appliances. Whether you’re building new or redesigning an existing space, appliances are fundamental in ensuring you get the kitchen that’s best suited to your personal culinary style. “What your needs are and how you live in a particular space is going to reflect what you select for your home,” says designer Amber Desilets. “Everyone works in their kitchen differently.

to work with,” Amber says. “A designer will ask questions that most people don’t think of when planning for their kitchen. It helps to identify how you cook and eat in your home.” Visiting the showroom also gives you a good idea of the current variety of equipment and the latest culinary technology available. Kitchen appliance technology and appearance change quickly and manufacturers offer more styles and features than ever before. “There are so many options, it makes sense to work with the individual and find what’s best for them,” says Amber. “We begin our discussion with budget and go from there. It’s not about putting in the most expensive appliances they can afford. It’s about choosing and installing what’s most useable and comfortable.” With the largest selection of appliances and their experienced sales team, you’ll notice the Trail Appliances difference when you walk into one of their showrooms. The well-educated sales team is ready to help you remodel your kitchen or plan for a new home with options to fit every look, lifestyle and budget.

home we build and the relationship we have with some of our customers.” said Kelly Schroeder, Boychuk’s Marketing & Design Coordinator.

The company was founded by Mike Boychuk. His daughter and

son are now directors. Mr. Boychuk’s son-in-law, Ron, is the general manager of the company. Ron Olson, with Boychuk for 40 years, was the ﬁrst Saskatchewan resident to serve as president of the Canadian

Home Builders’ Association. That says something as well, lending to the widespread respect both he and Boychuk Homes have earned within the industry. The company is currently putting a lot of its energy in the Rosewood area, where it is both a land developer and a builder. “We are the lead developer in the Rosewood subdivision,” Schroeder pointed out. “One of the main features of that subdivision is the Hyde Park wetlands, developed along with Ducks Unlimited and the Wildlife Federation. Those wetlands are award-winning.” Mike Boychuk bought land in Rosewood many years ago and the company continued purchasing land over the years. Rosewood was developed along with area landowners. Schroeder said that amenities such as schools and retail outlets such as Costco to the east and even a Tim Hortons on the west boundary are bonuses. “You don’t know you are going to get those things when you start out but you certainly hope for that. Costco is a huge addition to the Rosewood area and to the people in southeast Saskatoon. We have a few lots still available on a block really close to the school and they have been very popular.” Schroeder talked speciﬁcally about three Boychuk projects in Rosewood — Flynn Manor, Rosewood Estates and Rosewood Gardens.

WALK OUT TO THE PARK T

heir show home on Flynn Manor is for sale, so it’s best to act quickly on this 1,891-squarefoot beauty. The home, located at 335 Flynn Manor, is a two-story walkout, backing a linear park. It is close to the new elementary schools in the subdivision. It has an EnerGuide rating, which puts it a small step from Energy Star. “It is a better level of energy efficiency than most homes — energy and water saving features. Not every home is built to Energy Star or EnerGuide, so that is a little bonus. Schroeder said the walkout is a nice benefit. “With nine-foot ceilings, it doesn’t feel like a basement; it’s another living space in the home.” The basement is ready for development. The home has three bedrooms, plus a second-floor

a unique feature wall, a natural gas fireplace and stone surround.

The home is priced at $719,900.

SASKATOONEXPRESS - July 9-15, 2018 - Page 11

LUXURY AND NATURE

osewood Estates is another Boychuk project in the neighbourhood. “It was our ﬁrst luxury, gated condominium project in many years,” said Schroeder. “There is only one unit left.” The project is modelled after the success of Briarwood Estates which was built more than a decade ago. The development in Rosewood has 27 attached, bungalow-styled townhomes. It is the only condominium project in Rosewood overlooking the wetlands preserve. Rosewood Estates is fenced and gated. “It appealed to people who are retiring and maybe are spending time at different properties in the winter, so there is a security aspect there.

This project featured a number of walkout units as well overlooking the wetlands.” Boychuk won a prestigious Saska-

toon & Region Home Builders’ Association Bridges award for the project: Best townhouse development under 50 units. “We’re proud of that. When

we developed the Rosewood lands, there were several condo or townhouse parcels set aside for developers. We felt it was a good time to get back into that market. It’s the only project like that in Rosewood, so it was very appealing to a lot of people; the units sold very quickly.” The remaining unit is a 1,407-square-foot bungalow with a developed basement. “In that project we did develop most of the basements for our customers. It was treated as an option and most customers took us up on that.”

#4-315 Ledingham Drive is listed at $587,900.

people can choose from. Customers can also put their own customizations into the ﬂoor plan so we can move walls around to make the units a little bit bigger if they like or a little bit smaller. We had one customer increase his garage size to 24x24 which is not common in these types of projects, and he was happy that we were able to do that for him.” Four units are in various stages of construction. There will be 28 semiattached bungalow-style homes in Rosewood Gardens. “Typically we like to pre-sell these units to allow customers to make their own choices and customize their units.”

osewood Gardens is a new project in the subdivision. “We are excited about it; it’s a takeoff of Rosewood Estates, but we made the units slightly smaller and a little bit more affordable. It is also going to be fenced and gated so there will be that security aspect attached to it.” The show home, which is slated to open this month, will be located at #2 315 Olson Lane West. “When everything is done it is going to be a very nice community. The units are going to be low maintenance bungalow townhouses that are roughly 1,200 square feet. We have several different ﬂoor plans that

CT070910 Carol (Continued from page 9) Outdoor kitchens should include a sink, small refrigerator, built-in grill, and bar area. Creature comforts Homeowners should think about the things that make the inside of their homes so comfortable and then replicate that outside. Sofas and loveseats covered in fabric suited for outdoors and plenty of pillows can make for great lounging. Lighting that can be adjusted for day or night, or even to set the mood, is another consideration. Shade structures, like a trellis or retract-

able awning, will keep the area comfortable and can also define outdoor “rooms” and establish privacy. Fire it up Many homeowners enjoy having fire elements in their yards. Lanterns and candles may create a romantic feel, but a fire pit or outdoor fireplace may help extend use of the outdoor entertaining area beyond summer. Entertaining outdoors is made that much more enticing with a dream outdoor living space full of amenities.

Design a more functional pantry

any homeowners wish they had more storage space, and kitchens are one area where people seemingly can always use more storage. Despite a desire for more kitchen space, until recently, kitchen pantries fell out of favor. Builders and architects may have thought that close proximity to supermarkets as well as multi-use cabinets in kitchens would offset the need for pantries. But according to a recent survey, a kitchen pantry is the most desirable kitchen feature for buyers in the market for a new home. In order to accommodate for spending more time in the kitchen, homeowners are directing additional attention to kitchen preparation and storage features. In fact, one recent trend in kitchen renovations is creating custom-designed pantries. Locate the appropriate space Ideally, pantries should be in or adjacent to the kitchen. But not every home layout allows for this setup. Some homeowners need to move storage pantries into the garage, the basement or a mud/laundry room. Various factors should be considered before placing a pantry outside a kitchen. What is the climate? Will food spoil? Is there a possibility that vermin or insects can infiltrate the room and access food? These factors will dictate whether to have closed cabinets, air-tight bins or open shelves or if other modifications must be made to the room prior to building. AS070915 ChooseAaron the type of pantry

Accessibility is essential in a pantry. Everything should be easily reached and grabbed as needed without having to move too many things. Ideally, foods should be arranged in a single layer so that all items can be viewed at a glance. Shelves of various depths and heights can accommodate items of different sizes. Adjustable shelves are ideal because they can be modified as foods change. Sliding drawers can improve reach in cabinets. In smaller spaces, French door-style reach-in cabinets are convenient and flexible. In complete kitchen remodels or new constructions, walk-in pantries offer the most space and flexibility. Must-have features Pantries serve different functions in different homes. For the bulk shopper, a pantry with plenty of room for large items will be needed. Lighting can be beneficial in all pantries. Lights can improve visibility when trying to locate items. Others prefer an outlet for charging hand-held vacuums or other small appliances. Counter space in the pantry enables homeowners to unload groceries directly onto pantry shelves. For pantries located outside of the kitchen, built-in freezers can maximize storage possibilities, especially for those who freeze-and-eat after bulk shopping ventures. Pantries are popular features that homeowners can customize depending on their storage needs and the amount of time they spend in their kitchens.

Three students to represent U of S at art exhibition in Montreal

By Shannon Boklaschuk hree University of Saskatchewan undergraduate students will have the opportunity to display their artwork in a professional gallery exhibition in Montreal this summer. The Fresh Paint/New Construction show at the Art Mûr commercial gallery is now in its 14th edition. The project showcases the talents of young Canadian painters and sculptors, offering them an opportunity to show their work in a professional setting alongside the work of their peers from other parts of the country. In January, Art Mûr asked the U of S and a number of other Canadian universities to nominate some of their best student painters and sculptors. The gallery juried the submissions it received to make a final selection of about 55 artists nationwide. On Art Mûr’s website, Fresh Paint/New Construction is described as “an exhibition providing an extensive survey of some of the newest and more interesting work” coming out of the art programs of 14 Canadian universities. U of S students Cristine Andrew-Stuckel, Tia Furstenberg and Diana Roelens, who are studying studio art in the College of Arts and Science, are among the Canadian students who have been selected to show their work in Montreal. The 2018 edition of Fresh Paint/New Construction will run from July 14-Aug. 25, with the opening reception scheduled for July 14. Andrew-Stuckel, who will have two paintings included in the show, said she is happy to represent the U of S. “My husband and I have booked our trip and are planning on attending,” she said.

JW070902 James

Andrew-Stuckel said her work is influenced by many of the artists she studies in art history and in lectures and presentations in painting class, including Willem de Kooning, David Salle, Chuck Close, Judy Pfaff and J.M.W. Turner, as well as contemporary Canadian artists Melanie Authier and Martin Golland. She said her U of S professors are also a “huge inspiration.” “When my senior painting professor, Allyson Glenn, notified me that she had nominated me for this competition, I was thrilled. When I received the email from Art Mûr, I was really excited. It is a big boost to the confidence to be selected for a juried art show,” she said. “Preparing the proposal for the competition—and later, the packaging and arrangement of shipping—was an important experience for all of us. After all, once we graduate we will be applying for these types of opportunities on a regular basis.” Andrew-Stuckel said she has had the opportunity to experiment during her painting studies at the U of S during the past year. She is currently working with a grid to create a pixelated effect that explores themes of memory and identity. “The works that (were) selected for the show are an example of this; they are scenes from my tiny hometown in Ontario, and they question whether memories of childhood are sometimes considered through rose-coloured glasses,” she said. Furstenberg, another U of S art student, said she was “absolutely delighted” when she found out three of her oil paintings would be included in Fresh Paint/New Construction. She described the upcoming

show as “a great opportunity for young, emerging artists,” and said she is thankful for the support of the College of Arts and Science’s Department of Art and Art History and its professors. “I would describe my work as calm yet expressive. I love the play of movement versus stillness, sharp versus blurry. I enjoy impasto—painting thick—and how a brushstroke can indicate time, depending how fast or slow it’s made,” said Furstenberg. “My love of the outdoors has a huge influence on my work, as my subject matter and palette is centred on nature and, specifically, how it changes and moves—much like our human lives. I’m fascinated by the emotions an artist can elicit from their viewer, simply by using certain colours or the speed and size of a brush’s mark.” Roelens, a third-year student, will also have her paintings on view. She said her landscapes are done in a contemporary, modern style, while her still life is more traditional. “In these paintings, water, wetland preservation and water conservation is the overall theme.Three of the landscapes are part of a series called Toxic Cocktails (and) refer to the threat of toxins, which could be chemical or oil spills on our wetlands and waterways,” Roelens said. “The other landscape is more about the everyday beauty that we pass on the highway and, for the most (part), take for granted—the reflections and serenity of sloughs and ditches. The still life features a water bottle—another testament to something which shouldn’t be necessary, but in

some communities is a critical essential,” she said. “The environment is a big influence on my work—what we have, what was before and what are the current and potential issues that threaten our landscapes and water sources. I am also drawn to portraiture and abstract painting and these influences are often evident in my work.” Roelens said she was honoured that her work was nominated by Glenn for inclusion in the exhibition, noting she is “really excited to have it recognized by Fresh Paint.” “It has been a privilege to be able to study studio art and it has given me the opportunity to really develop and explore new ways of expressing myself through various mediums,” she said.

Beaudry takes on iconic role in The Merry Wives of Windsor Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express It’s been said that good things come in threes, and that seems to be the case for well-known Saskatoon actor Joshua Beaudry. Beaudry is taking on the iconic role of Falstaff in Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s latest production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, which opened on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River on July 4. Beaudry has been cast in the show twice before, in 2010 and in 2001. However, the 2018 offering marks Beaudry’s first opportunity to bring the character Falstaff to life. “He’s so mischievous and he’s so brash and full of himself,” Beaudry said. “He sees these women with lots of money, and he just assumes that if he goes after them they’ll naturally fall in love with him. He’s slow to learn his lessons, so he has to learn over and over again.” Beaudry said this year’s Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan production offers a “fresh take” on Falstaff, and he hopes audiences find the show funny. “We’ve contemporized it,” said Beaudry, noting this version of the play is set in modern times and features gangsterstyle outfits. The Merry Wives of Windsor is a comedy, with many ingredients for a laugh-outloud experience: a jealous husband, prankster wives and a con man. Beaudry enjoyed the other two Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan productions of The Merry Wives of Windsor and was admittedly nervous taking on the role of Aaron Falstaff this year. AS070904

Josh Beaudry (centre) as Falstaff, with Kate Herriot as Mrs. Ford (right) and Heather Cant as Mrs. Page. (Photo Supplied) “I think Falstaff’s a somewhat iconic character and so there’s certain expectations from the audience,” he said. “The thing I’m looking forward to is breaking those expectations.” The Merry Wives of Windsor is directed by Greg Ochitwa, a Saskatchewanbased artist who was born in Balgonie. Ochitwa, who has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theatre (acting) from the University of Regina, has worked with Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan before, most recently in 2017 for Twelfth Night and Richard III. Beaudry, an actor and director who has worked professionally in Saskatoon for 17 years, studied theatre at the University of Saskatchewan’s Department of Drama. He is a member of the Saskatoon Soaps

improv company and has worked with Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan many times — in fact, this year marks his 12th season with the annual festival and his 24th show. Most recently, Beaudry played Malvolio in Twelfth Night in 2017, Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 2016 and Iago in Othello in 2015. Beaudry said he loved his time studying at the U of S, and the theatre connections he made there have helped him in his career. “I don’t know if I’d be doing theatre if it wasn’t for my time at the U of S,” he said. Beaudry also has many positive things to say about the Shakespeare festival, noting he enjoys being outdoors in the summer and the opportunity to work with

different directors. He also loves the festival’s audiences, which include people from throughout North America. Beaudry said The Merry Wives of Windsor is unique because it’s the only play that William Shakespeare wrote where he came up with his own plot line — it’s not “borrowed” from other plays, he said — and it includes a host of “really colourful characters.” “It’s a really good farce and Greg’s brought a lot of imagination to it,” said Beaudry. “The way he envisions this world is quite unique. I think that’s the thing I’m most excited about.” The Merry Wives of Windsor runs until Aug. 19. For more information, or to buy tickets, go online to shakespearesask.com.

MISSING TEETH

Dear Lianne, I’ve met a lovely lady while dancing. She is poised, dresses beautifully, smart, and has beautiful hair. We get along famously but there is one issue. Without sounding petty, I’m somewhat taken aback by the mere fact that she is missing a few upper molars. She has a lovely smile but has this unfortunate gap that is quite noticeable when she opens her mouth. I would never want to be thought of as a superficial fellow but this woman has money and it baffles me why she hasn’t had them replaced. How do I tactfully ask her if she is intending to have her missing teeth replaced? – Milton

scratches formed in the sink. We fixed the porcelain by gently rubbing the area with a damp pumice stone. It sounds counter – intuitive to rub a scratch with something “scratchy,” but we were pleased with the results, as they disappeared. And the pumice stones only cost a few dollars. — Cindy Contributors Share: Instead of disassembling my shaver for cleaning, I place the head of my shaver in a small bowl of ammonia and turn it on. The shaver clean as it spins. This procedure also prevents heat buildup. — Ken When cleaning my kitchen drawers and cupboards, regular washing did not remove the black marks left on the bottom of the shelves and drawers by cake, pie and loaf pans. I tried a little “Bar Keepers Friend” on a damp cloth and every black mark came off, including those left by cast iron frying pans. The cupboards look new. This does not work if scratches have removed or damaged the inside surface of the shelves or cupboards. — Wendy Reena Nerbas is a popular motivational presenter for large and small groups; check out her website: reena.ca.

Dear Milton, As the daughter of a Dentist and a Matchmaker I understand the importance of well cared for teeth. A great smile is often a prerequisite mentioned by clients that is important in their mate. Congratulations on finding a wonderful woman. There could be a variety of reasons she is missing teeth. Some people have a terrible fear of the Dentist which is often a result of being traumatized in the chair as a youngster. It is unfortunate because Dentistry has advanced so far and now procedures are often painless whereas years ago some procedures were very uncomfortable. Perhaps she is waiting to have dental implants

or a partial plate. She also may feel that it is not noticeable. Somehow you are going to need to delicately broach the subject if it is a deal breaker for you if she has no intentions of replacing them. You could start a conversation about you booking an appointment for your annual dental check-up and see how she reacts. If she is fearful of the Dentist she likely would share it at that time. You could ask her the cause of her missing molars as part of your conversation and gently work in the other questions. Saskatoon is full of wonderful Dentists. I have matched a few of them! I hope the issues get resolved and you continue enjoying your relationship with her.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Egging on Team Korea

By RJ Currie just was watching Terminator 2 where the T-1000 becomes so brittle that with each movement, part of his body breaks. Anyone else just think of Milos Raonic? • Edwin Jackson recently pitched for his 13th different MLB team — a major league record. The guy’s done more bouncing around baseball diamonds than the Kissing Bandit. • I told my wife we had to watch Round 1 of Wimbledon if we wanted to see Eugenie Bouchard play, and I was totally wrong. She got eliminated in Round 2. • I really like the name Gabine Muguruza, No. 3 in the WTA rankings. Muguruza. Offhand I can’t think of an English word with three straight U’s, but it’s probably unusual. • A sure sign your soon-to-be ex-girlfriend has been watching too many televised football games? She doesn’t say you are boring; she’s says you’ve been a defensive struggle. • The Tampa Bay Times printed a list of “investigations, suspensions and allegations” involving Jameis Winston — a total of nine. If stupid was ice, Winston would be Antarctica. • Korea’s soccer association won’t pursue charges against fans who threw eggs at the World Cup team. Not making it out of the first round left enough egg on their faces. • Russian women in bridal gowns squared off in a friendly soccer match in the World Cup city of Kazan, playing for 30 minutes. Which is longer than my first marriage lasted. • God’s truth, I’ve just watched 11 minutes of TSN without any mention of John Tavares. So I must — ooops; they didn’t make it to 12 minutes. • The Washington Nationals overcame a 9-0 deficit, taking the lead 10-9 on Trea Turner’s 6th-inning grand slam — the ESPN Turner Point. • The U.S. beat Belgium in the World Cup — of Quidditch. If ever there was a sport for the Washington Wizards. • I’m not saying mosquitos are getting hungry in Manitoba, but I saw some carrying off the neighbour’s Shih Tzu. Luckily, they dropped it into a poodle. • So far, Cavaliers Game 1 goat JR Smith hasn’t gone into witness protection. And if he did, what would his last name be?

RJ’s Groaner of the Week The NBA season is long over, and it’s still LeBron; LeBron; LeBron; LeBron; LeBron. I see a perfect marketing opportunity for Kellogg’s — All-Bron.

It’s all Tavares all the time

he Toronto Maple Leafs made a big signing last week, but enough about Jordan Subban. • Why the big dog and pony show if John Tavares planned to sign with the Leafs all along? Those meetings in Los Angeles were an absolute waste of time for five teams. • If Brendan Shanahan wants a shot at the Stanley Cup immediately, he should trade Tavares to Ottawa for Erik Karlsson. • Something I hope to never hear again: Centres Tavares, Matthews and Kadri are a three-head monster. My gawd. • The ink wasn’t dry on Tavares’ contract and the lads at TSN were already discussing who would be the captain of the Leafs. It will be Tavares, boys. • The TSN panel on July 1 was comprised of at least a dozen men, with nary a woman to be seen or heard. • Jack Todd, on Eugene Melnyk’s offer to Karlsson: “It’s $150,000 a year for three years, plus free membership at Melnyk’s gym, but Karlsson has to supply his own towels. Karlsson also gets his own d-luxe popcorn popper.” • From Janice Hough’s only-in-America file: “A woman who slipped and got her leg caught between the platform and a subway train in Boston begged rescuers to not call an ambulance because it costs too much.” (Note: she did get taken to the hospital where she was treated for a broken leg and cuts. She didn’t take an ambulance.) • From Torben Rolfsen: “The blaze of the fireworks on July 4 in the US was only outshone by the jersey burnings.” • From Kevin Glenn, the most travelled quarterback in CFL history: “TSN Sports panel announcers make too much stuff up. They say things just because it sounds good. #theyknowwhotheyare.” I wish I knew what was said. I’m thinking it takes a lot to get Glenn riled up. • Rolfsen, on a swarm of New York Mets fans taking over downtown Toronto: “They were look-

ing to see if there were any more washed up Jays players they could acquire.” • Please remind me to never invite Joey Chestnut to a barbecue. • From Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune: “It looks like Luke Walton just lost his job as Lakers head coach. He’s LeBron’s assistant now.” • Hough, on the same subject: “I’m waiting for Lavar Ball to say LeBron James is now the second best player on the Lakers.” • From a local sports announcer: “Rider fans are anxious to take on the Tiger-Cats tonight.” I wonder if any of those fans play quarterback. • From Vancouver Sportsnet radio host Scott Rintoul: “Canucks fans are so excited about Quinn Hughes that they believe he’s bringing Uber to Vancouver with him.” • From Hough: “I’m sure parents separated from their children feel very sympathetic to Alan Dershowitz being ostracized by many of his summer friends on Martha’s Vineyard.” • I thought the plus-minus on the Riders winning 8.5 games was a lock over. Glad I didn’t re-mortgage my home. • From the Twitter account of Jock Cartier: “I don’t get Chris Jones. The guy makes $800,000 a year and won’t pay $8 for a haircut.” • Todd, on cheering for Brazil since seeing Pele play in Cleveland in 1968: “Pele was kicked all over the pitch, but he kept getting up and battling. Neymar, on the other hand, is a clownish disgrace to the game he plays.” • Hough, on Reuben Foster being suspended for two games by the NFL: “That’s one game per arrest.” • From Rolfsen: “Tomas Plekanac had a shorter stay in Toronto than the movie Gotti.” • Erik Kratz of the Milwaukee Brewers, on an argument he had with Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds: “We were discussing the Canadian dollar and flawed systems in our two governments.”
