‘Five 5tages’ puts a face to cancer diagnosis of what most cancer patients do, but that’s also why she believes the show is valuable, because putting the experience out there is a way to get people more open about the disease. “It’s good to get it out there, because not many people do. For me, I’m a very open person and I thought this was a good way for me to deal with the emotions.” That was not necessarily the plan before the photo shoot, but Urzada says that they thought documenting her experience with the diagnosis was going to be valuable whatever happened with the photographs themselves. “We didn’t know what we would do with the photos. In my mind, it was such a unique experience, and as an artist myself, it was a way to express myself understand what I was going through.” In deciding what to do with the work they created, they thought

The experience of cancer treatment is something many patients want to keep in private. Brianne Urzada is not one of those patients, and “Five 5tages” is an emotionally and literally naked look at the emotions someone goes through when facing treatment for a serious disease. The series of five images, taken by Kiriako Iatridis, show Urzada undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, each one representing one of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ five stages of grief – denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. “These photos are really heavy, so they give people the opportunity to think about the hard parts of cancer and have those conversations about cancer.” Urzada admits that going with something so public is the opposite
the most appropriate course of action would be to turn it into a fundraiser and awareness campaign to get more people talking about cancer. The photos have raised over $63,000, which has gone to a pathology device at the Regina General Hospital and patient comfort at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre. This is also a homecoming for Urzada. Born as a Pister, she grew up in the Rhein area. She says it’s extra emotional to come back home. “I think people appreciate people coming back home and sharing their stories.” The show was also put together in conjunction with Brayden Ottenbreit’s Close Cuts for Cancer. Urzada was happy to partner with the Ottenbreits. “It’s such a wonderful local fundraiser, and they do such a good job with it.” This story has a happy ending. Urzada

new business called Art House and just recently celebrated the birthday of her one year old son,
Winston. “Even though the content is heavy it’s got a good ending.”

Missing teenager case enters second month By Thom Barker Staff Writer It has now been more than a month since 16-year-old Mekayla Bali went missing and her family, the public and police are still stumped and very worried. “No evidence obtained thus far suggests she has come to any harm, but investigators must locate and speak with her and ensure she is physically OK,” stated a press release from Yorkton RCMP. Police have received many tips from the pub-
lic according to Sgt. Rob Nicholas of the Yorkton municipal detachment, but none have gotten them any further in locating the Grade 11 Sacred Heart High School student. Bali was last seen April 12 at the bus station in Yorkton initially suggesting she might have left town. Rumours have circulated that she is in Regina or Saskatoon. The police services in those cities are aware of the case and are also investigating, but there has been nothing conclusive to suggest
the rumours are accurate. “We cannot discount the possibility that Mekayla may be in another community,” the press release said. Despite the lack of progress in obtaining useful information, investigators believe someone has information concerning the girl’s whereabouts that they have not shared. They are encouraging anyone with information, however big or small, to contact police. “We recognize it can be difficult to approach
police with information,” the RCMP release stated. “If you do not wish to identify yourself, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Callers will not be asked to reveal their name or personal details, calls are not recorded or traced, call display is not used. If it’s an online tip, IP addresses are not available. Online reports and texts are afforded the same level of anonymity as phone calls. The only way anyone will know you contacted Crime Stoppers is if you tell somebody.”

Yorkton Yankees start season with two wins By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
In 2015, the South-East Senior Baseball League’s Yorkton Yankees had the strongest season they could have, taking home the provincial championship, league championship and getting voted Saskatchewan Baseball Association senior team of the year. They are starting
STARTING STRONG – The Yorkton Yankees had a strong 2015, taking home the SESBL championship, provincial senior baseball championship and were voted the SBA team of the year. While the weather might not have cooperated for the season opener, the 2016 season has started with a pair of wins.
strong with a pair of wins. The first game was a cold and rain-shortened affair against the Canora Supers and not the best way to start the season, admits player/coach Mark Jacobs. While struggling against the weather, the team won a the game 2 to 1. The second win was much better night to play baseball, and the game against the Russell Bulls was a much higher scoring contest, with the Yankees pulling out a 9 to 7 victory over the visiting Manitobans. “Two wins, but two really close games, and obviously a lot of things we need to work on.” Those things to work on is defensive play, Jacobs notes, given that defensive play is usually a strong suit of the team but has been a trouble spot in the first two games so far. They also struggled with timely hitting in the first game, but it was already improving by the second. “[Timely hitting] can be one of our strong points but it can be one of our weak areas sometimes, so it’s nice to see it come through tonight.”
An early highlight is pitcher Logan Calanchie, who was in the whole game against Canora and finished off against Russell. “He’s been a real horse for us the past few years, and the first couple games this year, no difference.” Jacobs is also impressed with the play of Dave Morari, and that he will be looking to Morari and Calanchie for leadership in the upcoming season. “He’s hitting the ball really well and he gave us four strong innings tonight.” While the pressure will be on to repeat the success of the 2015 season, Jacob does admit it’s not going to be easy. “Every year you go into baseball, obviously your end goal is to win championships, every team is like that... There are a lot of good teams in this league, so it’ll be a tough year to repeat, that’s for sure.” The next game for the Yorkton Yankees will be May 19 at Langenburg against the Indians, while the next home action for the team will be on May 24 against the Roblin Stars.

This year’s throne speech comes up short The throne speech delivered Tuesday by Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon on behalf of the government was short on, well, everything. What it did do was hint that the upcoming (June 1) budget may be the beginning of what Premier Brad Wall called “transformational” change. Wall must realize the next four years is probably his last kick at the can, either by his own design or at the hands of voters. As Mark Twain famously quipped: “Politicians and diapers must be changed often and for the same reason.” Nevertheless, a last-term government, or at least a last-term premier, presents both opportunities and dangers to the province. On the opportunity side is eliminating some top-heavy governance structures that hinder efficiency in delivering provincial jurisdiction public services, namely the two biggest government ticket items, health and education. Saskatchewan has an obsession with local control. This is a hangover from the silo mentality that developed in horse and buggy days, but does not make sense in a modern society with cars and highways and airplanes and the Internet. The traditional justification of sparse population spread out just does not fly anymore. This province has 13 health regions for a population of 1.1 million. Ontario has 14 for 13.8 million people. Alberta has one health authority. Now, we are not saying what holds for Ontario should hold for Saskatchewan or that we should aspire to be Alberta, but we must get over the marching to our own drummer seemingly just for the sake of being different syndrome. So, when Wall says everything should be on the table, he is correct in the sense we need new ideas to improve service and save money. That does not mean everything should be on the table, though. Saskatchewanians don’t seem to realize how good we have it when it comes to Crown corporations. There is no saving the SLGA. What the government wants to do with that company may be short-sighted and is unlikely to provide the benefits they say it will. Privatization is more likely to take money out of provincial coffers and put it in the offshore bank accounts of private individuals, but the party ran on privatization and it seems Saskatchewan residents either want cheaper and more accessible booze, which they won’t get, or it just wasn’t a big enough issue. In any event, there is no sense crying over spilt whiskey, the ‘L’ in SLGA. Perhaps a bigger issue is what happens to the ‘G’? We will see. There is also the danger of what happens to other Crowns such as SGI and Sasktel. Wall has promised not to turn these over to private interests because they didn’t campaign on it, but he has hinted they are willing to look at it and public control of forprofit businesses is unquestionably an ideological sore spot for Wall. Losing the other Crowns would be very bad for Saskatchewan residents. These companies benefit us in more ways than just providing quality services at competitive prices. The bottom line is, voters gave Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party a huge mandate with a weak Opposition. There will be good and bad results for the province. We must be vigilant to maximize the former and minimize the latter.
Door locks are a useful invention Occasionally I wonder if the province’s police force feels a bit like an exasperated parent. Much like how you might tell a small child to put their toys away, only to step on a building block, the province’s police forces have now launched one of their repeated reminders to tell people to lock their cars and take the keys out. And then nobody listened, as a spree of theft in Moose Jaw saw personal items stolen from unlocked vehicles. I’ve long been in the habit of locking my own vehicle, habitually tapping the power lock button after I open the door. It’s to the point that I lock it, unlock it immediately after if I remember something in the back seat I needed to grab, and then lock it again. It’s one of those things that has become as much muscle memory as a conscious decision, and if there’s one thing the police force would likely love about me, it’s that – it’s going to be quite hard for someone to steal my car. It’s actually relatively hard to steal a modern car. Keys have unique electronic signatures to prevent unauthorized entry, circumventing the antitheft measures aren’t as easy as ripping some wires out of the bottom like in an old movie. Of course, it’s extremely easy to steal a car if the keys are right there, because no matter how many security measures are implemented by the manufacturer every car still needs to start and run with the keys or some equivalent. The thing with a lot of these crimes is they’re crimes of opportunity. The door is open, sometimes the key is even inside, so it’s a chance to just hop in and grab whatever you want. People grab things from yards – such as my shovel, which I’m still bitter about a full year after someone spirited it out of my back yard – from garages, from the street. While we can judge the thieves harshly, it’s a relatively minor crime and one that is at least preventable to some extent. Which is not to say that we have to be nice to the people who are stealing our easily accessible belongings, they need to be punished to an appropriate degree. A miscreant who gets into a car and takes a pile of change or gets into a backyard to steal a shovel is still committing a crime, and if caught, should be punished. It’s just that we’re dealing with crimes of opportunity, so if the criminals don’t have the opportunity, there is no actual crime. The motivation isn’t there to have someone go through the effort to circumvent a locked door. While we can lament the fact that they are attempting a crime in the first place, at least they’re lazy enough to ensure it’s not a serious one. Some will say that if the thief went to the trouble of stealing it, they might need it more than they
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger did. This is a nice coping mechanism which is also completely wrong. The thief doesn’t need my shovel more than me – I had to dig something up in my yard – and knowing some people who committed crimes of opportunity in my youth, they tended to just grab them because they thought it was funny. Naturally, the people who lost their stuff did not find it nearly as funny, but the motivations behind the crimes are hardly as innocent as the thief stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family. No, these cases are often a thief stealing a CD because they think it would be a funny thing to listen to, or someone stealing a flag because they thought it would look more interesting as decor in their house. They’re petty crimes for largely petty reasons. As a result, a locked door often prevents the crime just because the joke isn’t worth actual effort. There will likely be people who lament the state of society that this is even necessary. After all, back in their day you could just keep everything unlocked and people looked after each other. We can lament the collapse of society that leads to people losing small items from their unlocked cars, but when you can prevent this by tapping one button it’s hard to get too worked up about it. Some might suggest that we need things for bored youth to do, so they don’t try to grab stuff from vehicles and are instead busy doing sports or participating in cultural activities. There are plenty of programs in this city and throughout Saskatchewan designed to accomplish that goal, and it’s great to support them. While that’s a solution to a larger societal problem, it’s not really about the actual, immediate issue and the very simple solution to it. Crimes of opportunity can be solved by tapping a button when we leave our vehicles, and as a result we should probably do that. It would be really nice if we could all trust each other like the imagined good old days, and if we could allow our stuff to be unlocked without fear of someone grabbing it. But until then, we have a relatively simple way of making our stuff less appealing to criminals, and that’s just listening to police and locking our doors.

Past transits and future treats First, a recap on the transit of Mercury across the Sun’s face between sunrise and noon on May 9th. Although the forecast was for generally clear skies until 1pm, I have a well established reputation for making clouds appear out of nowhere. With expectations not particularly high, I went out to my garage the night before and fitted my telescope with a proper solar filter just in case, then went to bed reasonably early, mornings not being my strong suit. Totally unexpectedly, through some mix up at Weather Central, the Sun
rose the next morning against a clear blue sky. By 7am-ish, when the Sun had risen high enough to clear my neighbours’ house, I yawned my way outside, opened my garage door and aligned my scope on the Sun. There it was, about a third of the way in from the Sun’s edge: Mercury. Well, I assumed it was Mercury. All you can really see when a planet (or our moon) crosses the Sun is a black circle. The planet was not the only feature you could see; in the centre of the Sun’s disk was a pair of sunspots, and a little further away, a large

before they left for school. At 12:40, it was down to a friend and I watching as Mercury slipped off the edge of the Sun and disappeared. I didn’t know it at the time, but the Yorkton area was among the few places in the province that wasn’t clouded over and thus able to see the transit. The next one: November 11th, 2019, coincidentally on a Monday from sunrise to noon. What are the chances I won’t be clouded over twice in a row? Anyway, in other news, the Full Moon this Saturday will be the smallest Full Moon of 2016. Just like the sizes of the ‘Supermoons’ of
recent months were overstated, this moon will not be ‘smaller’ enough to notice either. Of more interest is that the Moon on the 21st rises at sunset accompanied by Mars and Saturn. Combined with Jupiter high in the south and more cameos by Venus & Mercury in July, this is just the beginning of some great planetary viewing. At one time or another this summer, each of the nine classic planets will be available in the evening sky, some easy, some not so much, but all available from your own back yard.

We can all help the healing in Fort McMurray Astonishing cataclysmic events happen around the world so regularly - but so far from our doorsteps that Canadians often feel insulated and immune. Fort McMurray’s extraordinary disaster should change that. In this case, the tragedy feels so personal - and cuts so deep - that it should demand that we all examine our specific reaction and weigh it against our broader commitment to social responsibility. Certainly, Canadians are among the most generous of nationalities when disaster befalls those elsewhere in the world. We send money and our experts and supplies, and lend our knowledge in the wake of tragedy. In general, we are a wealthy and fortunate nation, and we are willing to share from that base of social and material prosperity. But no outpouring
of support in the face of disaster has come close to the response of average Canadians to the Fort McMurray wildfire - $60 million and counting, plus untold gestures of kindness and unaudited instances of donation. And that doesn’t include the massive government funding already underway. But the donations are not nearly what they could be. We can, and should, always strive to be better as a society. If anything positive can come from such destruction and heartache, such trauma and uncertainty, it should be that our level of empathy is heightened like never before. In instances like this, when 88,000 people have been displaced by a horrendous wildfire, and more than 2,400 buildings have been lost, the price of citizenship required of the rest of us seems easy to pay.
But the contract we all mustmake with humanity should be easy to honour all the time, not just when the devastation is on our doorstep, not just when those who are dislocated are our friends and neighbours. Why is it not always so? Certainly, there are many among us who react with great generosity when tragedy strikes. The examples are too plentiful, from Haiti to Nepal to New Orleans and beyond, year after year, decade after decade. The world often seems like a natural powder keg - at any moment, harbouring a cyclone, earthquake, mudslide, tornado, tsunami or blizzard. And we have seen it before in Alberta, all too recently. The floods of 2013 devastated Calgary, Canmore, High River and other communities. More than $9 million in donations poured in for the
100,000 people displaced in theregion. Five people died as a result of the floods, which did more than $6 billion in damage. That damage is still being repaired, and the conversation about how to prevent a similar tragedy in the future continues today. The Slave Lake wildfire displaced 7,000 people in 2011, and did $750 million in damage. And it heightened our awareness of the sudden, indiscriminate power of fire to leap from forest to settlement in a random gust of wind. In each instance, lives have been changed forever. These events are not just about loss of property, and the necessary effort to rebuild homes and businesses, and re-establish infrastructure. They are also about rebuilding lives, restoring confidence and managing the lingering fears. Which means we can and must reach out to the
people of Fort McMurray in a variety of ways. Certainly not every Albertan has a great deal of money to give on a moment’s notice, particularly now in the midst of an economic cooling. Many Albertans are without work or fear the loss of a job at any time. If you haven’t donated and you can, why haven’t you? Gestures large and small matter. And if you can’t give money, give your time - it may be just as valuable as your money, and maybe more. Volunteer to help a fundraising effort, to cook meals or house a displaced family. Join an organization that does community outreach for those from Fort McMurray. Talk to your children about giving and why it matters, and set a clear example through your own acts of generosity and caring. It will be a long time
before Fort McMurray and its citizens can settle back into the normal, secure rhythm of life. There is much work to be done to simply make the community safe to return. Then years of reconstruction will follow, for those willing to return. For the community, and its people, the scars are deep and the healing will be long and arduous. Each of us can and should play a significant role in helping that healing.

Rush and Raptors are rolling So there are two big news stories for Saskatchewan sports fans this week. Let’s start closest to home. The Saskatchewan Rush went into Calgary Saturday for Game 1 in the National Lacrosse League West Division final, and for three-quarters were in tough against the hometown Roughnecks. The game, which was thankfully picked up and broadcast on SaskTel Max since the ‘big’ sports networks in this country generally ignore this country’s national summer game even when two Canadian teams are in the west final, was a good one. The Rush led by one after the opening quarter, held that same margin at the half 6-5, and the teams were deadlocked 8-8 through three. In the fourth though the Rush put the pedal down, outscoring the ‘Necks 8-2 on their way to a comfortable 16-10 win. Ben McIntosh led the Rush attack with four goals, and Mark Matthews the usual main man had what seemed like a quiet fivepoint night. Saskatchewan generated 52 shots, while Aaron Bold faced 45 in a game where early on he let a couple by he would no doubt want back, but still stood out allowing only 10. That gives the Rush a foot up on the west crown. Game two is Saturday in Saskatoon, and bud Trevor Lyons and I are headed west for it. The building is going to be packed. The atmosphere at Rush games is incredible already, and a playoff game, the first in Saskatoon after an opening round bye, will be ‘off the hook’ as they say. Should the Roughnecks win, then the crowd will ramp up for a deciding third 10-minute ‘mini-game’ with the winner advancing. I’m thinking we won’t see that extra game. The Rush have won every game this season with Calgary, and after watching game one it’s hard to envision the team losing in front of a barn full of Rush-aholics. In the east its Buffalo, who had the same leagueleading 13-5 record as the Rush are facing New England who won their semi-final over Georgia. In Game One of the East final the Bandits won 15-10, which puts the Black Wolves in the backseat heading there this Saturday’s deciding juncture in Buffalo where it’s always tough to find wins.

As for the second hot news I can only say ‘We the North’. The Toronto Raptors are in the east final in the National Basketball League against Cleveland. It’s the farthest the Raps have ever gotten as a franchise, which is of course huge for the team and for the sport in Canada. No one, myself included, gives the Raptors a sniff against the LeBron James-
led Cavaliers, even after TO won two-of-three regular season meetings. The loss was however a big one 122100 too. The Raptors had an amazing game seven against Miami to earn the east finals berth, winning on their home court 116-89. The 116 was a franchise playoff record for points scored in a game, and came as a result of a fourth quarter where the Raps dominated 30-11. The win showed a lot of heart. Bismack Biyombo was a beast taking minutes for injured centre Jonas Valanciunas, who sprained his right ankle in Game 3 against the Heat. Biyombo had17 points and 16 rebounds for the Raptors, in what might have been his best game ever. The all-star duo led on offence as they must for the Raptors to roll. Kyle Lowry scored 35 points, and DeMar DeRozan had 28, showing they are among the NBA best in their positions. Maybe they are not the elite, but it would be near impossible to upgrade at either spot. It was the second series in a row the Raptors needed a Game 7 win to advance. They are showing the wear with DeMarre Carroll and DeRozan showing some bumps. That does not help going in against James who is among the elite in the history of the NBA, and he is still far from being over the proverbial hill, meaning he dominates when he desires too, which is generally any playoff game. The Cavs swept the Atlanta Hawks in their semi, so they go in rested. They topped the east, so they hold home court advantage. They have James. It is very much a David and Goliath situation, although it is doubtful the Raptors will find a stone for their sling to fell this giant, but ‘We the North’ will enjoy the effort.
Hockey
Now two quick notes. The National Hockey League playoffs continue.
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels Go Blues only because as one of six teams joining the league in the fall of 1967 they are the only one remaining (California Golden Seals are long gone) not to have a Stanley Cup win — although to be completely accurate the Minnesota North Stars
don’t win either, hoisting a Cup finally after moving to Dallas.
Jays struggles
And then there are our Toronto Blue Jays. The season is a quarter gone and the Jays are treading water at the .500 mark.
The reasons are not what I expected. The starting pitchers, J.A. Happ included, have been far better as a unit than anticipated. The bullpen has struggled, which was expected. The Jays offence however, has been terrible, and that was not what was expected. Josh Donaldon is hitting only .258. Edwin Encarnacion is .237 and Jose Bautista .217. They have 21, which extrapolates to 84 on the season, for a trio that should be hitting 115 combined. Catcher Russell Martin is embarrassing at the plate with no homers and a .168,
which I suppose is better than back-up Josh Thole’s .152. Sadly it’s not easy to suggest what might be done to ignite the Jays who are generally five games off the pace being set by Baltimore and Boston who are dogfighting for top spot in the American League East. Then again a .500 record and five games off the pace might suit the new TO brain trust of transplanted Cleveland brass, considering the Indians they left are .500 and five games back. Welcome to the new status quo I am afraid.

Even more tough perennials for your first border once established. Globe flower (Trollius spp.) is native to the Alps and is found just below the permanent snowcap – in full sun and with miles of drainage where the only direction is ‘down’. There is always a run of water from the melting snow at its roots. For best results, try to replicate these conditions: full sun, good drainage and even moisture. The plants range from 1-2 feet in height with lovely foliage and flowers in cream, yellow and orange. They bloom in late spring. Dwarf species tulips (Tulipa tarda and T. urumiensis) are planted in the fall along with other spring flowering bulbs. They lack common names, so we’re left with just their Latin names. They are short (about 6 inches), hardy, endearing as well as enduring, and soon form delightful colonies. Tulipa tarda is yellow with white tips while T. urumiensis is all yellow. Both bloom in early spring and are ideal for rock gardens or the front of the border. Sara will be discussing more of her favourite perennials in her workshop, “Perennials: The Enduring and the Fleeting” during the University of Saskatchewan Hortweek in July, 2016. For this full program of more than 30 classes and workshops on a wide range of gardening topics (some of them free),

early spring bloomer. About 6 inches in height, they do best in shade in organic, evenly moist soil. The auricula or dusty miller primrose has handsome greengrey foliage and comes in a wide range of colours. Primula cordesoides has soft light green foliage and pink flowers, while the cowslip (P. veris) has lovely yellow flowers. Soft lungwort (Pulmonaria mollis) may not be the most exotic looking, but is the most dependable of the lungworts. About 18 inches tall, it has soft green foliage and lovely blue flowers and is one of the first to bloom in spring. It does equally well in sun or shade in well-drained organic soil. The European pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris) is closely related to and a wonderful garden substitute for the native prairie crocus (which transplants neither graciously nor gracefully to gardens). About the same size as the prairie crocus, the pasque flower has larger, more intense coloured flowers in a wider range of colours. Plant in full sun on well-drained soil. Ideal for the front of the border or a rock garden. Creeping thyme (Thymus praecox) forms a low prostrate mat and is ideal for a rock garden or “pavement plantings” among stepping-stones or bricks. It’s available in white, pink, red and purple. Plant in full sun on well-drained soil. Very drought-tolerant

In fashion, older styles that have made a resurgence are called retro and if they’re truly old, then vintage instead of used or hand-medowns. In garden, older varieties are usually looked upon with some disdain: ‘my grandmother used to grow those.’ But she grew them because they were tough and dependable, filled in space and provided background for showier, maybe experimental, new additions to the garden. I say, let’s put some vintage plants back in our gardens – they are no less beautiful and functional than they were for our grandmothers! Giant white fleeceflower (Persicaria polymorpha) is an excellent choice if you have space for a perennial that grows 8-10 feet tall and form a clump 3 feet in diameter. It is neither rampant nor aggressive, just impressive. The flowers are cream in colour and somewhat resemble those of the Japanese tree lilac. Plant in full sun in welldrained soil. Dwarf phlox (Phlox borealis, P. douglasii, P. subulata) have long been a sign of spring. Only a few inches tall, they soon form a spreading mound with flowers in shades of mainly white, pink, and blue. Place in full sun on well-drained soil. Ideal for a rock garden or the front of a border. Primroses (Primula auricula, P. cordesoides, P. veris) are another

2016 YFF film ‘The Sabbatical’ headed to Cannes Autumn Productions is pleased to announce that their feature film comedy The Sabbatical will screen at Le Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival in France May 15. The film is part of Telefilm’s Perspective Canada presentation at the film buyers market that takes place in conjunction with with the Cannes Film Festival every year. Autumn Productions will be looking to sell the film internationally at the festival. “We’re excited to have our small film from Saskatchewan as one of only eleven Canadian films in Telefilm’s Perspective Canada selection at the Cannes
market this year,” said Sabbatical director and U of R film professor Brian Stockton. “We’re having a great festival run worldwide and now it’s time to sell it so it can be seen by a wider audience.” The improvised dialogue comedy shot in Regina over 18 months starting in 2013 has screened at film festivals in Whistler, B.C., Fargo , ND, Palm Beach, Florida, Toronto, Ontario, Beijing, China and is set to open the Yorkton Film Festival on May 26. It also plays at the Oakville Film Festival this June in Ontario. Executive producers David Hansen and Johnny Mac will be in
Cannes representing the film and negotiating sales deals at the film market. Their company Autumn Productions is based out of Regina but has been involved in major films around the world, including the Kevin Spacey-starring bioflick Elvis and Nixon currently playing in U.S. theaters. The Sabbatical follows a fictional University of Regina fine arts professor (James Whittingham) on his yearlong sabbatical where he has a mid-life crisis while trying to produce a new photography book. He is saved by an unlikely friendship with a young woman (Laura Abramsen.)
3 wicked sauces for your steak One of my favorite meats on the barbecue is a good beef steak. I used to be somewhat of a purest and insist on only salt & pepper gracing this grilled wonder, but I have lightened up over the years. Although I have never been (and never will be) a fan of coating a beef steak with traditional type barbecue sauce, my wife loves sauce with almost everything. So to please her palate, and mine as well, I usually turn to one of these three incredible sauces: Peppercorn Sauce 2/3 cup full bodied red wine 2 tbsp concord grape jelly 1/2 cup whipping cream 1/2 cup beef stock 2 tbsp canned green Madagascar peppercorns, strained 1 tbsp butter In a large pan over medium-high heat add the wine and grape jelly. Boil until the wine has reduced in volume by half, and the jelly has melted into the wine. Add the cream and beef stock and continue to boil until the sauce has become thickened and syrupy, stirring frequently.
Chef Dez on Cooking by Gordon Desormeaux www.chefdez.com Pull the pan off the heat. Stir in the strained peppercorns and butter and serve immediately. Jus (brothy sauce like you would get with prime rib) 1 cup full bodied red wine 3 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half 1 sprig fresh rosemary 1 cup beef broth 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp sugar Combine the red wine, garlic cloves, and rosemary in a small pot. Boil over medium/ high to high heat until the wine has reduced in volume by half. Add the beef stock, salt and sugar. Stir to combine, cover and set aside off the heat until your meat is cooked. While the meat is resting, warm the Jus in the pot until hot, strain the garlic and rosemary out and portion into small dipping cups for
serving. Garlic Compound Butter 1 cup butter, room temperature 4 large garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese Mix the butter, garlic, parsley and parmesan thoroughly. Shape in wax paper into a 1-inch cylindrical shape. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator (or freezer) until needed. To serve as a complimentary sauce: unwrap and slice thick circles of the butter to let melt on the hot grilled steaks. Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Travel Host & Cookbook Author.
