LITERACY NIGHT – Students and parents at St. Paul’s School celebrated Literacy Day with the end of their One School One Book program. For the month of January, students in the school read the book Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, participating in themed activities based around the book, before the final evening of fun and games for Family Literacy Month. This is the seventh year St. Paul’s has done One School One Book, and Principal Quinn Haider says that one of the most rewarding parts of the program is watching older students take leadership roles with the younger classes in the school.

Ring of Fire brings Johnny Cash to life

By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Johnny Cash might have died over a decade ago, but his songs are still fresh in the minds of many people in the world.

Ring of Fire: The Songs of Johnny Cash is a musical celebrating the man’s life and telling his story through the songs he sang. The show will be in Yorkton on February 10, presented by the Globe Theatre and the Saltcoats Historical Society.

Devra Straker is one of the five performers in the show, performing the role of Cash’s mother, his first wife, and June Carter Cash. The actors also function as the band, and they shift roles as the show covers his entire life, from youth, adulthood to his death.

“He was a family man, and the death of his brother had a serious effect on him as did his relationship with his father. It’s very common knowledge that he had his ghosts and fought his demons, but I also think that it was those things that allowed the everyday person to relate to his music.”

With a recording career that spans decades, Straker says the show ranges from the real hillbilly songs that Cash began his career singing to the more modern music.

“His music covered many genres, and I think that comes down to how so many people could relate to the music he wrote and how it was performed.”

As the woman in the show, Straker says it’s a different perspective on his music from some of FRONT PAGE PHOTO – Theory of a Deadman lead singer Tyler Connolly entertains the crowd at the Yorkton stop of their Unplugged 15 tour, a celebration of the group’s anniversary.

the other people in the group.

“It’s interesting for me as a woman... I get a very different take on his music, having the opportunity to sing some of his stuff, not only June’s numbers but a couple of his songs.”

Straker admits that it can be an intimidating subject to cover, as Cash is an iconic artist and one everyone in the crowd would be familiar with, but she says that is in their mind as they put the show together.

“I feel like there’s a responsibility on us as the performers and actors. You want to tell the story but you want to be true who he was and how he originally released the music.”

This is not the first time Straker has brought a tribute show to the city, and says that there are certain artists that have an enduring legacy that lasts long after the artist themselves.

“I had the privilege of doing Patsy Cline a couple years ago with Globe, and brought that to Yorkton as well, and that was another artist that the music is timeless.

Johnny Cash is in that same realm. He broke down a lot of barriers, people still listen to him today, people still know who he is, and I believe it will always be that way.

The show comes nearly 25 years after the man himself visited the city, performing once in 1991.

That Cash performed in such a wide range of locations speaks to the character of the man, says Straker.

“It wasn’t about playing massive stadiums, he was playing in smaller communities like Yorkton and he was playing in prisons... If people wanted to hear music he would play. I think the fact that if you heard Johnny Cash actually perform one of the first things he would say was ‘Hello, I’m

Johnny Cash.’ The reason he always said that was he never presumed people knew who he was. In his eyes, his heart and his mind, he wasn’t a superstar, he was just Johnny Cash.”

Straker is originally from Saltcoats, and the Saltcoats Historical Society is sponsoring the

show. She describes it as a real privilege to come back to the city. Proceeds will go to the Saltcoats Historical Society.

“I’m so proud to be bringing this show with Globe to my community, and to be helping out my home town... What could be better than to do what I love, bring it back to my

community and help them out at the same time?”

Ring of Fire: The Songs of Johnny Cash will be at the Anne Portnuff Theatre on February 10 at 7:30 p.m.

For tickets call 306-7442990 or visit Welcome Home Crafts or Gifts of Gold.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, February 4, 2016 - Page 3A

The three part harmony is a classic country sound, and the Travelling Mabels bring together three generations singing together for their take on the sound. Eva Levesque, Lana Floen and Suzanne Levesque are coming to Yorkton on February 29 as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series.

Suzanne Levesque is the youngest member of the group, as well as Eva Levesque’s daughter.

The band is a family affair all around, as Floen’s husband Keith works as a kind of “musical director.” Levesque says that the family feel extends to the performance, something they noticed ever since the first time the trio performed together at an open mic.

“It just felt like family singing together, and that doesn’t happen very often. Sometimes it just doesn’t work, and sometimes it does work. After that we started a group, recorded a CD and the rest is history.”

The word fun is the most common descriptor of a Travelling Mabels show, and Levesque

gives credit to that to her mom, saying that a lot of the fun they have on stage starts with her, and the relationship she builds with the audience through her banter and stage presence.

“People feel like she’s part of the family. After every concert we go to, people say they want to go to a campfire with my mom, or party with my mom. Every time.”

Levesque has been performing with her mother since she was twelve, beginning in a family band before moving on to different projects and to the Mabels.

As this group has been together for eight years, they are better able to get the best sound out of each other.

“It’s good because everything gets more comfortable. Singingwise, you know who sings which parts, you know their strengths, and you try to push each other to get out of your comfort zone too.”

The group has just completed recording on their third album, and Levesque says a return to the studio was a welcome one.

The process of building a song, starting with just an acoustic guitar

THE TRAVELLING MABELS bring together three generations to sing three part harmonies in a country style.

The group with be in Yorkton on February 29. before putting together more parts, is something Levesque enjoys, and the process also leads to unexpected results sometimes, as songs grow from the first steps in recording.

This is the second half of a tour of the province with OSAC, with the first part happening in the fall of last year.

Levesque says they love touring the province. It has been an especially rewarding tour for Levesque, as it’s been a chance to reconnect with her roots, as her family began in the Bengough area.

“It’s nice to meet new people and hopefully find new followers.”

Levesque also says they’re proud to be part of the 50th anniversary of the Yorkton Arts Council.

Paternalism needs to end At the end of December, Carolyn Bennett, the new federal minister of indigenous and northern affairs announced the government was restoring funding to and ceasing legal action against bands that had not complied with the First Nations Accountability Act. Like any competent politician, Bennett took credit for this action as part of the Liberal election platform to establish “a renewed, nation-to-nation relationship with indigenous peoples.”

That may indeed be partially true, but in fact, even if she had not wanted to, she was obligated to because during the election-that-would-not-end a federal court justice in Saskatoon ruled that is exactly what the government had to do.

This was based on a legal challenge brought by the Onion Lake Cree Nation—which owns the Castle Building Centre here in Yorkton—and four other Saskatchewan and Alberta bands.

In addition to ordering cessation of attempts to force compliance with the Transparency Act, Justice Robert Barnes chastised the former government for unilaterally imposing the Transparency Act and a “failure to consult” with First Nations, i.e., for being paternalistic.

Of course, that court ruling and Bennett’s announcement were met with scorn by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).

“This government was elected on a promise to improve transparency and accountability, and this decision does exactly the opposite,” said Aaron Wudrick, CTF federal director. “A law without consequence for non-compliance is a toothless law. As such, soon many First Nations people across the country will again be in the dark as to how their elected leaders spend public dollars.”

We, in the media, have a bit of a love affair with the CTF because it can always be counted on to provide a counterpoint to any liberal idea. That is because it is an ultra-partisan lobby group with strong roots in the Reform Party and Canadian Alliance and close ties with the current Conservative Party of Canada.

Fair enough, but again, Wudrick’s statement smacks of both a disingenuous concern for “First Nations people” and paternalism.

The fact of the matter is, First Nations funding is not a gift from Canadian taxpayers, it is constitutional and treaty obligation of one government to another, of one people to another.

Frankly, what they do with the money is none of our business. In addition to the constitutional and treaty rights to financial transfers, they also have a right to self-government.

Furthermore, it does not matter how much money they make on their own. Some bands, such as Onion Lake, run extremely successful businesses. That does not change their entitlement to federal funding.

They are not accountable to us. Our government is accountable to us and must be transparent in what they do with our money, but that does not trickle down to First Nations bands.

As a matter of principle, their chiefs and councils should be transparent and accountable to their people.

Does corruption exist? Of course, just as it does at all levels of our governments.

Should we be concerned on their behalf? Of course we should, just as we are concerned about human rights and refugees and health problems abroad.

Should we help them to achieve a higher level of responsibility, accountability and transparency? Of course we should, but not as a parent to a child.

This is what the current government has planned.

“I have been asked to undertake, along with my colleague the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and in full partnership and consultation with First Nations, Inuit, and the Métis Nation, a review of the laws to ensure that the Crown is fully executing its obligations in accordance with its constitutional and international [treaty] obligations,” Bennett said.

“These initial steps will enable us to engage in discussions on transparency and accountability that are based on recognition of rights, respect, cooperation, and partnership and that build towards a renewed, nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous Peoples.”

We really must get over our paternalistic attitude toward First Nations. So far, the new government is making a good start of it; non-indigenous Canadians ought to as well.

America needs an intervention When someone has hit rock bottom, is engaged in self-destructive behavior, is a danger to themselves and others, it’s time to hold an intervention.

Family and friends can come together, sit them down and talk to them about what their behavior is doing and why they should start turning their life around. For a person, this can happen in a living room, the comforting and familiar surroundings. How, exactly, does one hold an intervention for an entire country?

In Canada, we’re close friends with our neighbours to the south. Sure, they’re often difficult to deal with, frequently a bit obnoxious and have an inflated sense of their own importance, but we deal with them and generally like them. But, as primary season is kicking off south of the border, they’re hitting rock bottom. They are not addicted to drugs, but have become hooked on loud, obnoxious politicians. It’s a dangerous addiction, one that could have negative consequences for all of its friends and neighbours. Really, we need to sit them down and talk to them about who on earth they’re trying to elect into office.

It’s just a rebellious phase, some might argue.

The Donald Trumps and Ted Cruzes of the world are there, shouting about how they’re not the establishment, and that might seem appealing to a young country rebelling against their parents or the concept of reasonable discourse. But they’re dangerous things to be messing with. You dabble in a bit of loudmouth television personality, thinking it can’t possibly do much harm, that it’ll just be a bit of a laugh, and the next thing you know you’re building a wall on a border.

It’s sad to watch a country trying to destroy themselves, but really it was our own fault for not seeing the signs. I mean, in hindsight we can see that someone like Sarah Palin was just a gateway terrible politician, but at the time we just treated it as a phase, and possibly a way to keep Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live, so we, as an international community, didn’t take it as seriously as we needed to. Besides, we had not before witnessed a creature that communicated entirely in wacky soundbites, it was like discovering an entire new language.

Ignoring the problem was not the solution though, and we can see that now. Sure, people can cling to the hope that it’s not so bad, that they’ll come to their senses. The Republican party might calm down, reject the crazy crowd and settle down with (relatively) nice, boring Marco Rubio. The country as a whole might go with whoever wins the Democratic party nomination, whether they put Hillary Clinton in the White House in a fit of ‘90s nostalgia or go with the option all the kids are talk-

Things I do with words...

Column Devin Wilger ing about, 74 year old Bernie Sanders. Maybe all the crazy people will go away and we’ll get a country that is ready to settle down with a president who didn’t claim an entire country was made up of criminals.

But what’s going to happen in four years time?

They might just relapse yet again, and given how the addiction to lunatics has progressed in the past several years we’re going to find ourselves with a country we care about, considering a vote for someone even further off the deep end than Donald Trump. It’s sad to watch them struggle with their addiction to crazy, dangerous people who are just going to abuse them. Plus, it’s partially our fault, since Cruz was born here under the full benefit of the Canadian healthcare system he hates so much, but in our defense he was a baby at the time.

It’s difficult to know how we can hold an intervention. After all, America does have a pretty high opinion of itself, the rest of the countries have to approach this carefully. They will likely shout that you can’t tell them what to do, they’re the most powerful nation in the world. They’ll probably go on about how they can quit paying attention to dangerous, obnoxious idiots any time they want, they just don’t want to just yet. And then the next time an obnoxious blowhard with hair that can’t be explained by nature walks into the room, they’ll be swept off their feet again, and we won’t be able to do anything to stop them. At least they’ll erect a much larger fence so it’s slightly more difficult to see them hurting themselves.

If any Americans are reading, take this message. We, in Canada, care about you. You’re our closest neighbour, after all, apart from that tiny bit of France tucked in the middle of the Maritimes, and we want you to be happy, healthy and not consumed by completely insane people. We don’t want to see you hurting yourself anymore. So please, put down Ted Cruz, shake your addiction to Trump, stop giving time to these dangerous men who really don’t care about you. We will give you our love and support as you try to put your life, and political system, back together again.

New days, new moons and new words

The planets are still strung out across the southern sky this week, but you have a narrow window around 7:30 a.m. when Mercury’s up and. the Sun hasn’t brightened up the sky too much. On the 6th, look for a thin crescent Moon rising in the south east, and just below it, gleaming Mercury.

Brilliant Venus lies five degrees to the upper right. A third ‘planet’, Pluto, sits a thumbwidth above Venus today, but as usual, is too dim to see. Too bad, as this would be a rare opportunity to view the

planets nearest to, and farthest from, the Earth at the same time.

A shy Mercury spends most of its life hidden in the Sun’s glare and doesn’t come out to play more than a couple of times a year.

On February 7th, it is as far away as it will get from the Sun before it gets nervous and begins creeping back toward safety again. Catch it while you can.

If instead you’re out on the 8th, the next New Moon, the beginning of a new lunar month, occurs just after sunrise.

either side of a New Moon are the best times for backyard astronomy, especially now as some of the sky’s finest constellations are on review. Well placed in the south, Orion the Hunter struts his stuff, the three stars of his belt forming a familiar asterism (the astro word for ‘pattern’).

Below and to the left shines Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. Above and left lies Gemini the Twins, and to the right, Taurus the Bull, along with its famous asterism ‘The Pleiades’, or ‘Seven Sisters’. At 9

p.m. in the east, we can catch Jupiter rising (the planet, not the movie).

There is not a much better time of the year to find a dark spot free of nearby lights, and spend a few minutes looking up. The skies are dark early, and the universe’s best is passing in front of you.

Beware, though, that the gleaming gems of winter have been known to draw the unwary over to the dark side of amateur astronomy. Not to worry, though; should that happen, those of us already there love company.

Your letter of the Week Electoral system reforms could lead to Trump-like candidates in Canada In Canada, the exchange of political philosophies on social and economic ordering, as well as on foreign affairs, takes place almost exclusively within the ranks of those who already hold political office.

To be sure, respected spokespersons with a national profile are sought after by the media when a particular and well-defined issue is in play. The general rule, however, is that those whose opinion resonates on issues large and small are already stakeholders within their parties and the traditional political process.

Rarely, if ever, do Canadians see the kind of U.S.-style maverick who parlays name recognition into an attempt to secure a legitimate seat at the poker table of real power.

Under our present electoral system, the candidacy of a Donald Trump could probably never happen in Canada. Every presidential election season in the United States invariably brings with it a chorus of competing voices all braying for the attention and support of the voter.

We have already seen this in the run-up to the first New Hampshire primary scheduled for Feb. 9. In a contest that has been going on since

even before the Canadian election was called and settled, voters have seen an outsider like Donald Trump take much of the spotlight onto himself.

Because the Republican and Democratic parties essentially hold open contests every four years to choose their presidential candidates, it allows for individuals without an established political base to attempt to find traction and support. Of course, without significant financial resources and a preexisting public profile, no candidate would stand a chance.

Even without the eventual endorsement of either the Republican or Democratic party, a well-heeled and ambitious individual has the option of making a run for president as an independent.

While the chances for success and actual occupancy of the Oval Office are slim, the consequences of this fact can be far-reaching.

Bill Clinton won the presidency in 1992 with less than 44 per cent of the popular vote. This anomaly was made possible due to the candidacy of Ross Perot. As an independent, Perot managed to siphon off enough support from incumbent President

George H.W. Bush to propel the previously little known Arkansas governor into the White House.

Looking back, it is significant to note that Clinton’s presidency also provided a national stage for his wife as first lady. One could argue that those Perot ripples will still be reaching shore in November 2016 when the presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton could become the first female president of the United States.

Clearly, our differing systems of democracy result in a distinct process of choosing leaders. Canadian transitions of power within party ranks tend to be rather staid in comparison. Leadership conventions when they happen are often more coronations than competitions.

In Canada, we rarely get a true outsider throwing a hat into the ring. The closest to a Trump-like candidacy was the very brief and probably long-forgotten time in 1983 when then Edmonton Oilers owner Peter Pocklington sought the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party. The multi-millionaire garnered less than four per cent of the convention vote but it was a kind of American moment

where a private citizen with a public profile decided he wanted to become a prime minister.

It will be interesting, however, if one of the unanticipated consequences of proposed electoral reform in Canada is the eventual emergence of individuals who, rather than seeking to join and mould a party, instead gather an as yet nonexistent party unto themselves by using their stature, their message or even simply their celebrity.

Deciding whether one system is better or not is a fool’s errand as the answer necessarily depends on each individual’s preference when it comes to the manner in which political discourse is served. However, for pure entertainment value - and the fodder with which to feed the 24/7 news cycle - the U.S. approach has its charm.

Imagine Donald Trump in a toque and you get the idea.

Good Spirit Acres community newsletter

This January has been a quiet and unseasonably warm month at Good Spirit Acres but many of our residents have continued with their favorite winter activities of snowmobiling, cross country skiing, skating and ice fishing.

Kevin Coleridge has groomed the cross country ski trails on both the front and back nine of the golf course and we have been seeing a few enthusiasts go by. Thank you Kevin.

The Hamlet Board is working on the budget for the coming year and is focused primarily on maintaining the roads and continuing to work on improving the flow of water through the Hamlet on an ongoing basis. It is likely that the water path from the first culverts on Capalano Drive all the way to Horseshoe Lake will need to be flushed out in order to keep the water flowing consistently. The Board continues to look at improving the drainage between Capalano Drive and Pebble Beach Road.

Advice for making an offer

Once you find a house you want to make your home, your REALTOR® can help you develop an offer. In the offer, you should specify how much you’re willing to pay. State when the offer expires and suggest a closing date for the transaction. You can also propose some conditions on the offer. Some common types of conditions are: Getting a suitable mortgage (include the amount, interest rates and any other figures you feel important); Selling your current home (the seller may continue to look for a buyer, but will give you the right of first refusal); The seller providing a current survey, or a “real property report,” showing that there are

no encroachments on the property; The seller having title to the property (your lawyer will check this out when she conducts a title search to see if there are any liens on the property, easements, rights of way or height restrictions); If there’s a septic system, the seller having a health inspection certificate, stating that the system meets local standards; An inspection by a qualified engineer, should you have any doubts about the home’s safety and construction; and Any inclusions of appliances and other items - basically, what stays and what goes.

You will need to present a deposit along

with your offer. An appropriate deposit will show your good faith to the seller. Note that the seller’s agent, if they are represented by one, is bound by law to bring all offers to the seller’s attention.

If Your Offer is Accepted After your offer is accepted and all conditions met, the offer becomes binding on both sides. If you later refuse to honour the agreement, you may lose your deposit or might be sued for damages. Before signing, make sure you understand and agree with all terms of the offer.

Before the property can formally change hands, there are still a few things to do. Be prepared to furnish proof to

February Sale FABULOUS FREE

your lender that you’ve insured your new house.

On or before closing day, both side’s lawyers will arrange to transfer title of the property from the seller to you. The mortgage money will be transferred to your lawyer’s trust account, and then to the seller, and your lawyer will bill you all additional expenses such as land transfer taxes or outstanding legal fees.

At this time, be sure to check with your lawyer that everything is as stated in the offer-topurchase.

Exercise benefits the brain, too Regular exercise can benefit the body in many ways, helping men and women maintain healthier weights and lower their risks for developing potentially deadly diseases. Though many people are quick to associate exercise with its physical benefits, those hours spent on the treadmill also can boost brain power.

According to Dr. Barry Gordon, professor of neurology and cognitive science at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and coauthor of “Intelligent Memory: Improve the Memory That Makes You Smarter,� exercise has a direct impact on the brain. That’s because exercise works directly on brain tissue, improving the connections between nerve cells, creating new synapses, growing new neurons and blood vessels, and improving cell energy efficiency. So while many people may begin an exercise regimen with a goal of trimming their waistlines or toning their bodies, they might be happy to know that those physical benefits are accompanied by several cognitive benefits as well.

As the American Psychological Association acknowledges, the connection between exercise and mental health is hard to ignore, and the APA notes that the following are just a few of the mental benefits men and women might reap from regular exercise.

Improved mood Many people feel great after exercising, especially if that exercise comes at the end of a particularly stressful day. However, those extra laps on the track or those hours spent on the treadmill don’t just pay short-term dividends. In a controlled trial overseen by Duke University researcher and clinical psychologist James Blumenthal, sedentary adults with major depressive disorder were assigned into one of four groups: supervised exercise, home-based exercise, antidepressant therapy, or a placebo pill. Those in the exercise and antidepressant groups had higher rates of remission than those in the placebo group, and Blumenthal concluded that exercise was generally comparable to anti-depressants for men and women with major depressive disorder. In addition, in following up with patients a year later, Blumenthal found that those who continued to exercise had lower depression scores than those participants who were less active.

Blumenthal’s study was not the only one to conclude that exercise can have a positive impact on mood. In a review of 11 studies that examined the effects of exercise on mental health, Boston University professor of psychology Michael Otto and his colleagues found that exercise could be a powerful tool when treating clinical depression, and even recommended clinicians include exercise as part of their treatment plans for depressed patients.

Antidote to anxiety Some researchers, Otto included, have begun to examine the effects of exercise on treating and possibly preventing anxiety. The body’s nervous system responds quickly when people feel frightened or threatened, often causing the body’s heart rate to increase and sweating and dizziness to occur. Those people who are especially sensitive to anxiety respond to these feelings with fear, and that makes them more likely to develop panic disorders.

But Otto and fellow researcher Jasper Smits of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Program at Southern Methodist University studied the effects that regular workouts might have on people prone to anxiety. Since exercise produces many of the same physical reactions, such as sweating and an elevated heart rate, the body produces when responding to fear or threats, Otto and Smits wanted to determine if exercise might help people prone to anxiety become less likely to panic when experiencing fear or threats. In studying 60 participants with heightened sensitivity to anxiety, Otto and Smits found that the subjects who participated in a two-week exercise program exhibited marked improvements in anxiety sensitivity compared to those participants who did not take part in the exercise program. Otto and Smith concluded that this improvement was a result of the exercise group participants learning to associate the symptoms common to both fear and exercise, such as sweating and an elevated heart rate, with something positive (exercise) instead of something negative (anxiety).

Regular exercise benefits the human body in numerous ways, not the least of which is its impact on the brain. More information on the link between exercise and improved mental health is available at www.apa.org.

A glossary of garden terms for spring Reprinted with permission from Park Seed (http://parkseed.com) and the National Gardening Bureau (NGB, www.ngb. org) How many times have you read a gardening article, looked at a website or catalog and wondered, “What does that mean?� Thanks to NGB MemberPark Seed we’ve excerpted their list of garden terms for your referral during the upcoming garden season.

Acidic Soil A soil that has a pH below 7, typical of clay soils. Azaleas, camellias, dogwoods and roses like acidic soils.

Alkaline Soil A soil that has a pH of 7 or higher.

Annual Plant A plant living one year or less, usually planted in the spring after the last frost. During this time, the plant grows, blooms, produces seeds, and dies.

Balled & Burlapped The roots of the plant have soil attached and are held in place with burlap or some other material.

Bare Root The roots of the plant are bare, with no soil.

Biennial Of two seasons dur-

ation, from germination to maturity and death, usually developing vegetative growth the first year and flowering, fruiting, and dying the second year. Biennials need exposure to winter temperatures to trigger flowering or fruit production the second year.

Bulb A resting stage of a plant that is usually formed underground and consists of a short stem base bearing one or more buds enclosed in fleshy leaves and buds (tulip, daffodil, etc).

Corm A rounded, thick modified underground stem base bearing membranous or scaly leaves and buds (gladiolus, crocus, etc).

Crown The base of the plant, where the stem and root meet.

Cultivar A cultivated variety or strain that originated and has persisted under

human cultivation.

Deadheading Removing the dead blossoms. If a plant is termed “self cleaning,� the blossoms fall off on their own. Deadheading usually extends the blooming season.

Deciduous A plant that loses its leaves seasonally, usually in the fall.

Determinate The growth of a plant stops at a certain height (usually in reference to tomatoes).

Dormancy A period in the life cycle of a plant where it is “asleep� and not actively growing. Dormancy is brought about by cool temperatures and shorter day length.

Evergreen A plant that stays green year-round.

Floriferous Bearing flowers/ blooming freely.

Germination The sprouting of a seed and the commencement of growth. Also used to describe the starting of plants from seeds.

Grafted Plant The top (desirable) part of the plant is grafted onto rootstock, usually of a hardier or less rare plant.

A seed that has been grown and harvested without being exposed to any inorganic chemicals, fertilizers, hormones, etc.

Pelleted Seed Small seed, such as petunias or pentas, that have been coated with an inert material such as clay to make them easier to handle.

Perennial A plant that lives for three or more seasons.

Perennials may not bloom the first season planted, especially ones that are shipped bareroot.

Rhizome A somewhat elongated, usually horizontal subterranean plant stem that is often thickened by deposits of reserved food material that produces shoots above and below the roots (bearded iris).

Rootstock Root system of a more common or hardy variety that is used to graft a more desirable variety onto, usually roses and/ or standard forms.

Self-Pollinating Plants that do not require pollen from another plant in order to produce fruit.

Semi-Evergreen

Heirloom Seed Mostly open-pollinated seed that have been planted and passed down for generations. Most lack disease resistance.

Herbaceous A plant that dies back to the ground in winter and returns again in the spring.

Herbicide A chemical used to destroy undesirable plants and vegetation.

Hybrid Seed The result of cross-pollination of parents that differ in size, color, taste, or other traits. Seeds from hybrid plants cannot be saved and used again, as they will revert back to one of the parents.

Indeterminate The plant continues growing until pinched or killed by frost (opposite of determinate). These plants usually require staking.

Organic Seed

A plant that drops its leaves in cold areas but keeps at least some of them in milder zones (typically zones 7~11).

Standard A shrub or herb grown with an erect main stem so that it forms or resembles a tree.

Sucker Undesirable growth coming from the rootstock of a grafted plant.

Treated Seed Seed that have been treated with an insecticide or fungicide to aid in preventing soil insects or disease from destroying the seed prior to germination.

Tuber A short, fleshy, usually underground stem bearing minute scaly leaves, each of which bears a bud in its axil and is potentially able to produce a new plant (potato, caladium, tuberose begonia, Jerusalem artichoke).

Veteran writer’s latest “Mahihkan Lake�

by Rod MacIntyre Published by Thistledown Press Review by Shelley A. Leedahl $19.95 ISBN 978-177187-053-5 Veteran writer Rod MacIntyre has combined his talents in scoring authentic and witty dialogue, evoking place to the point where you can actually smell it, and building both personal and physical drama in his seventh book, Mahihkan Lake.

Well-known for his YA novels and story collections, now MacIntyre’s characters are all grown up and about to collide – with dark secrets and personal demons in tow – at a mouse-infested cabin beside a northern Saskatchewan lake. Cue gun shots, “a Jesus big storm,� and the cremains of a brother in a “strawberry-faced� cookie jar.

Cue wolf (“‘Mahihkan’ or a word like it - is Cree for wolf�), a gravel truck driver named Harold (with a man’s “boot in his brake hose�), and a mysterious letter. Cue a 1968 Martin guitar, a Road King motorcycle, and chaos.

Drama aside, this novel’s an existential story about self and an intimate exploration of family composed via equal shots of humour and pathos. If the book had a subtitle, it could be How Did We Get Here?

MacIntyre’s also a playwright and screenwriter, and there’s a lot of talking in this tale as the characters both literally and figuratively warm.

Several chapters are almost entirely dialogue between the underachieving and self-deprecating alcoholic musician Denny and his successful (her new Saab is “The colour of good dental work�) but haunted sister, Dianne.

They contemplate talent, happiness, and familial history while tending to practical matters, ie: how to get the cabin’s ancient pump to work.

Denny describes himself as a “complete slob� who is drinking himself into “blissful oblivion�.

He lives alone above a paint store. At the story’s inception Dianne retrieves him from his month at a rehab centre, and his fervent drinking is like a through-thread in this novel. At one point Dianne says, “You don’t have a heart, Dennis, you have an enlarged liver�.

The three sections of the book - Blue, Sepia and Red - refer to his progressive states of drunkenness. In the “Red Zone,� he says he “start[s] hallucinating dead people�.

Denny co-wrote and toured two mildly successful albums back in the day. His “behemoth mega-hit� was “recorded in eighteen languages� and – in fine MacIntyreesque comic style – “There’s a yodelling version from Switzerland that is playing on YouTube as we speak.�

The author, who’s called both Saskatoon and La Ronge home, succinctly captures secondary characters with telling details, ie: the siblings’ father, who built the cabin, was a “terrible carpenter�: “His motto was ‘if it’s close, it’s good.’�

Dianne’s husband, whom Denny refers to as “The Doink,� is allergic to leather and the colour black, and niece Kirsten is dating a guy with “Eat Shit� tattooed on his forehead.

Harold’s just plain unlucky. After the accident he sets out on his own journey across Mahihkan Lake and a) capsizes his canoe b) learns his tent’s missing a pole and sports a huge,

mosquito-welcoming tear, and c) accidentally sets his tent on fire.

Saskatchewan-style tragi-comedy anyone?

Mahihkan Lake deftly fills the bill.

Sask rider takes on the best in PBR

Being a sports fan, at least for me, is not just about following baseball, football and hockey.

It happens I like some sports which don’t necessarily make most people’s list. Of course walking a path less traveled is never a bad thing.

One sport which has always intrigued me is bull riding.

The strength of the bulls and the fearless nature of the riders is a winning combination for me.

It is also fascinating how the sport, long a part of rodeos, has emerged as a stand zone discipline thanks to the creation of Professional Bull Riding (PBR), and its savvy marketing of major events across the United States. It is through the PBR bull riding has drawn fans to major venues in major cities far removed from the generally perceived western/cowboy roots of the sport.

If you are a fan of PBR, and a Canuck, then there was no better bull rider in

2015 than Prince Albert, Sask’s Tanner Byrne. Byrne won his first PBR Canadian Championships and finished eighth overall in the PBR’s World Standings.

In total he won over $250,000 US in what was only his first full year on the PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series.

Byrne finished third at the PBR’s World Finals ranking in $110,500 including bonuses.

For Byrne bull riding is very much in his genes, having grown up around the sport.

“I was. My dad was a professional bullfighter,” said Byrne in a recent interview with this writer, adding he was the first Canadian to fill the role at the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas.

Byrne said in growing up around the sport, and at the high level he saw traveling with his Dad, it was almost inevitable he’d get involved.

“I was just always around cowboys and the lifestyle,” he said.

And so he chose bulls,

Sports View From the Couch

by Calvin Daniels well calves to start.

“I started when I was a kid. I started on calves when I was about nineyears-old going to some rodeos with my older brothers and parents,” said Byrne. “I entered Junior Steer Riding when I was 12.”

From there it was simply a case of honing his skills, and that meant riding as often as possible.

“There is no shortage of opportunities in the summer time,” said Byrne. But in Canada in the winter, bull riding events are scarce. “It wasn’t unusual to drive from P.A. to Kennedy to go get on two bulls when it was minus 40.”

The miles paid off though. Byrne said there were a number of American colleges offering scholarships to go

ride bulls.

But at 18, Byrne took a different path.

“I rolled the dice,” he said, passing up the scholarship offers to turn pro.

“When you’re 18 it’s not very hard to talk yourself out of going to school … I wasn’t going to be into it 100 per cent, so I wasn’t likely going to pass.”

Looking back Byrne said he might have chosen the other road, but it is working out for him now too. He said competing in the Built Ford Tough Series he’s at the top level of his sport, the NHL of bullriding.

Being at the top level of bullriding is rather demanding though.

“You’re on three or four of the best bulls in the world every week-

end month after month,” he said.

Even with a successful ride the body is subjected to the jerks, twists and turns of a 2000 pound bull, and no dismount comes easy either.

“You’ve got to be in top physical condition,” said Byrne, adding for him that includes yoga exercises for flexibility, and lots of core strength training.

The power of the bulls and dismounts into the arena dirt wear on the body.

The wear starts in Chicago in early January, and then it’s just air miles a plenty.

“It’s every weekend across the U.S. until May,” said Byrne.

Riders get the summer off, at least from the Built Ford Tough series, but Byrne said he’ll keep riding back in Canada.

“I’ll go to the Calgary Stampede, and some small events,” he said, adding it keeps him sharp as he will head back south to ride PBR events from September until the finals in Las

Vegas.

For Byrne, who is six-foot-four, that core strength is critical in a sport where height is seen as a detriment because of a higher centre of gravity away from the strength of the bull.

“They say it’s (bullriding) a small man’s game,” he admitted.

“You’re not supposed to be able to ride when you’re as tall as I am.”

But Byrne has adapted, riding with his legs higher, to keep his centre of gravity lower, and it has been working. He has twice been the top Canadian in the world and at the last finals was eighth overall, and third in the actual finals event.

“That’s the best a Canadian has ever done in the PBR,” he said.

And at 23, Byrne aspires to be better still. He said he hopes to ride for another 10 years, and somewhere along the road of his career he wants a World Championship.

“No Canadian has done that in the PBR,” he said. “… Hopefully I can make it happen.”

Additional disability funding required In the upcoming provincial election, the Saskatchewan Disability Income Support Coalition (DISC) is asking all candidates, no matter their political affiliation, to advocate for an increase to the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) funding program by $250 per month per person in order to reach a meaningful, socially acceptable level of income for people with disabilities.

“An extra $250 would mean all the difference to SAID recipients,” said DISC Chair Judy Hannah. “We are hoping this is an issue that all political candidates will take very seriously and adopt into their platforms leading up to and beyond election night.”

SAID is an income support program for people with significant and enduring disabilities.

While previous increases to the SAID program have allowed recipients

to enjoy a greater quality of life than in the past, the rapidly increasing cost of living in the province has affected SAID recipients in many ways.

Hannah noted that many of these people on the program have special dietary requirements and must eat a healthy diet, but purchasing the ingredients to make wholesome meals is often beyond their price range. SAID recipients are frequently forced to inconvenience their friends and family to get rides due to high transportation costs.

Many recipients can’t even keep a roof over their heads due to the absence of housing that is both accessible and affordable. The struggle to afford even these necessities means SAID recipients are forced to live month to month and are unable to save any money, which can be devastating if an unexpected emergency arises.

“An extra $250 would allow SAID recipients to afford the basic necessities of life, save for a rainy day and be able to have the money to go out for coffee with friends, visit family or even buy a Christmas present – things we all take for granted, but are not available to many people on SAID,” said Hannah.

DISC has unveiled a

new video that explores the lives of people with disabilities relying on SAID funding. To view the video, visit www. saskdisc.ca.

DISC will be hosting two all-candidate forums in March, in Regina and Saskatoon, where it invites the public, media and all parties running for office to attend for a meaningful

discussion about providing an adequate level of funding for people with significant and enduring disabilities. The first forum is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. on March 3 at the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon (715 Broadway Ave). This will be followed by the Regina forum on March 10 from 7-9 p.m. at the Glencairn Neighbourhood

Recreation Centre (2626 Dewdney Ave E).

The Saskatchewan Disability Income Support Coalition was formed by a large cross section of disability advocates, consumers and organizations across Saskatchewan that are committed to advocating for a respectful, dignified and adequate income support system.

The Travelling Mabels, voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/ country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn’t experience every day. With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of audience expectations. www.the travellingmabels.com Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, or Welcome Home Gift Shop. You can also go online at www.yorktonarts.ca or www.ticketpro.ca Volunteers Needed!
