Classes begin at Langenburg Central School By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The beginning of the school year is exciting for any student, but the kids in Langenburg have something bigger to look forward to. The town is celebrating the grand opening of Langenburg Central School, a new prek-12 school that opened in the community for the 2016-17 school year. The $23 million building combines the elementary and high school into one building capable of housing 370 students. Some highlights of the new facility include a practical and applied arts facility, a community fitness centre, reading corners and a design with a large amount of natural light. Mick Parmar, principal of Langenburg Central School, is proud of the new facility, though he admits that finally teaching in the facility is a relief. “There has been hard work put in by many people, at the provincial level, at the construction and architectural level, but also in this community of Langenburg and the surrounding area. Hundreds for sure have put in hours of volunteer time and I just can’t say enough about their com-
mitment to kids. It has been wonderful.” The community of Langenburg also contributed to the design of the school, and raised money to add features to the facility. They raised $1.4 million to have a larger gymnasium, community fitness centre and an expanded Practical and Applied Arts area, Parmar notes. The community has been in desperate need of a new school for a few years. In 2014, Langenburg High School was shut down for a month due to air quality concerns. While it reopened, large sections of the school had to be shut down for student safety. Running a school in a fraction of the space they needed, Parmar says they had to make some sacrifices to keep education going as they waited to get a new school.
school.
“We were actually teaching classes in entry ways in the school. We had to shut down the little fitness area that we had and build a special education area.”
Right now, the province is focused on the nine joint use facilities that are under construction, but after that point Morgan says that they will have to start looking at other aging schools in rural communities. Those schools could look very similar to Langenburg Central School.
Parmar thanks the Good Spirit School Division and the Government of Saskatchewan for their support during the process of replacing the old
“Lots of people who have always pushed to make sure rural schools aren’t forgotten, the community of Langenburg is not forgotten, and making sure they invested in this community.” Minister of Education Don Morgan says the province is proud of what they have accomplished with the new building, and that this is an example of what they would like to see happen with some of the other rural schools in the province. “We are gradually going through and updating and consolidating. This is a great example of consolidation, where we took an aging elementary school and an aging high school and brought them all together under one roof... There are a lot of other places where we would like to do something like this.”
For Parmar, the most
important thing is that the new school makes it easier to educate the kids
The gospel side of Elvis
latter leading to two Grammy awards and working with artists such as Willie Nelson.
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer Elvis Presley might have been the king of rock and roll, but all his Grammy awards came for gospel albums. The Gospel Side of Elvis by the Blackwood Quartet will bring Presley’s lifelong love and admiration of gospel music back to the forefront. The show will be at the Anne Portnuff Theatre on September 17. Mark Blackwood is the leader of the group, and has gospel in his bones. The Blackwood family started singing gospel together in 1934, and their connection to Presley goes back to before he was famous. Cecil Blackwood, his father, was signing with him from childhood since meeting in church in Memphis. “They went to Sunday School together, they went to church together, and they fell in love with this type of music... They loved it so much they started their very first group together as teenagers called the Songfellows.” The story of the Blackwood family and Presley is one of the focuses of the show, as their shared history is a big part of why the group is performing the tribute. Blackwood notes that his father performed at Presley’s mother’s funeral. The other reason for
“My dad always said that he knew that he wanted to be a preacher or a gospel singer. I knew all my life that I wanted to produce records or sing gospel music. We both have had the chance to do what we love.”
THE BLACKWOOD QUARTET will be in Yorkton on September 17, performing the gospel music of Elvis Presley. Submitted Photo. doing the show is to make Presley’s life-long love of gospel to the forefront and remind people that this was a passion for the artist. “If Elvis was going to live any longer, he was going to retire singing this type of music, and he wanted to retire singing this type of music that people will be hearing next week.” The third generation of gospel singers in the family, he says that they keep doing it because people still love the music and still want to hear it. While gospel is traditional music, going back long beyond any of the singers, Blackwood believes it’s a timeless kind of music and some-
thing that stays relevant no matter where the trends are moving. “The simplicity, the honesty of four guys singing in harmony, never goes out of style, and people still love it.” While not a time warp, the tradition is part of the appeal of the music, because it’s a bit of escapism for the audience, Blackwood explains. “When people hear it, it takes them back to a simpler time, it lifts their spirits. It gets people away from their problems in society and the world.” Blackwood feels lucky that he has had the chance to make a living doing what he loves, whether singing gospel or producing records, the
in the community. “I have two boys in the school, and I can’t be
prouder, as a dad and as a principal, to have my kids attend this school.”

Toastmasters aspires to build leaders By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Toastmasters Club is dedicated to building leaders, and the Treasure Chest Toastmasters is working to be better able to help people in the city improve their speaking skills and make the club more vibrant, bringing in training to help the officers in the club. Marg Ustupski with the Toastmasters says that training is invaluable for the club because it helps the club officers better help the other people in the club itself. “If we aren’t trained, we sometimes fumble our way through, but if you’re trained, it gives you a better background and a confidence so that you can give good service to others.” While Toastmasters is largely known for helping people with public speaking, Ustupski says leadership skills are a priority for the club, as people take those skills out into the community at large. Dwaine Senechal with the Treasure Chest Toastmasters says the local club wants to be welcoming atmosphere and help people in the community become better leaders and better speakers. The weekly meetings, where people
practice their speaking skills through the program. “The best thing about the night is the feedback, because you have all these people in the room who are aspiring to be good leaders and good communicators, who give you feedback on how you did. It’s never negative feedback, it’s always positive criticism to help you. You always walk away being encouraged in what you’ve done well and being challenged in what you need to improve.” One of the goals of the meetings is to also teach people to speak within time limits. Senechal says it’s important to keep the meetings punctual because if they don’t, people might start to lose interest or think they don’t have the time to commit. “People are busy, so it’s important for people to know that our meetings start at 7:00 and end at 8:00, sharp.” Senechal believes that the communication part of the program is important for everyone, because being able to relate ideas to others is a skill that’s important no matter where someone is in their life. “One of the reasons we believe Toastmasters is important is that the things that really change

And ideas need to be communicated, written or communicated verbally. It doesn’t matter if you’re a politician or just an employee in a company, we want to be able to articulate your thoughts clearly and concisely.”
Ustupski is a member of the Regina club, and they brought members to Yorkton to participate in training for the sake of developing their leadership skills. She believes that the mentors in the club are one of the benefits of the club, because it helps people develop
their skills. The club encourages people to take in a meeting if they have the chance. Senechal says that sitting in on a meeting will take the mystery out of the club, and allow people to see what Toastmasters does, and emphasizes that just sit-
ting in on a meeting is a free way to see if the club is something someone wants to do.
Treasure Chest Toastmasters meet Wednesdays at SIGN on Broadway at 7:00 p.m. Meetings start again on September 14.
Rally in the Alley building community with fun Get ready to rally in the alley. The first annual Rally in the Alley will be held on September 14 from 4-8 p.m. Justine Lutz, organizer of the event, says it started when Laurie Renton noticed that the alley between Betts Ave. and First Ave. was well suited to hosting an event, which was the seed that grew into the event itself. The businesses that are located on the alley started working together to organize an event in the space, which became Rally in the Alley. Other community businesses also began to pitch in at the event. “It’s been really awesome seeing the support come together.” Highlights of the afternoon include the opportunity to meet two Roughriders, Miss Teen Saskatchewan and the YRHS Raiders. There will be food, cotton candy, popcorn, kids games, live music, balloon animals and henna tattoos. Everything at the event is free for the kids. “Provided everything goes well, and I’m sure that it will, we will definitely be looking at having it regularly each year.” Organizing the event has brought together the businesses in the area together on the street, and Lutz says it has been amazing getting the wide range of business owners together for the project. “It’s been really wonderful connecting with the up and coming gen-
eration of business owners and seeing where their values are and where they would like to help and contribute.” The event will raise money for the Yorkton Community Centre, a new facility in Yorkton’s downtown to assist people in getting help and get channeled to resources within the city. Lutz describes it as a hub to get people to the resources they need. The goal is to raise $100,000 total, with the Rally in the Alley being the kickoff to the project. “They want to work with other groups and organizations in town
and build on them. Not to overcrowd or do anything different, but work with other partners in the community and grow stronger.” The idea for the centre came from Pastor Mark Lautamus from the Yorkton Victory Church, inspired by working with people in his church and trying to help them access services. Lutz says this experience demonstrated there was a need for the kind of services the Yorkton Community Centre will offer. “They really found that they wanted to fill

Election is a balancing act
Not much is likely to change in the upcoming municipal election. Incumbency is usually an advantage at any level of government, but particularly in municipal politics. Voters, particularly in municipal elections are notoriously disengaged. In the 2012 election there were a total of 3,798 votes cast for the mayoral candidates combined, approximately 25.6 per cent of eligible voters. One could take voter apathy as an indication the status quo is working. On the other hand, it could just as easily be evidence of cynicism. Either way, it is a shame. Our democratic rights should not be taken for granted and there is, in fact, a lot at stake in municipal elections. In some ways it is the level of government that most affects our day-to-day lives. Just ask any business owner who has had their entire summer disrupted by road construction. Just ask any residential ratepayer who has seen tax increases three times the rate of inflation in recent years. One organization that certainly believes the election is important is the Chamber of Commerce. It has put out a manifesto of sorts outlining “five areas of interest” it wants to see the 2016-2020 mayor and council address. These are: transparency and financial accountability, business property taxes, the Yorkton Regional Airport, business growth (incentives) and infrastructure needs. The Chamber, of course, is pro-business. Business people run it. It would not be doing its job if it did not advocate for and promote business interests. Everyone recognizes the importance of business to a community, but it is a much more complex issue than the myopic and debunked view that giving business people everything they want will trickle down to the general public good. Nevertheless, the Chamber’s document is not a bad starting point for discussion. In terms of transparency and accountability, the Chamber wants the City’s public accounts published; open debate at council meetings; and public openings of tenders for major projects. These are good measures, but moot if nobody is paying attention. Infrastructure is always at the forefront of any election campaign and this one is no different. The Chamber identifies the Broadway corridor rebuild and new hospital as priorities. The News Review agrees Council should be focused on finding new and creative ways of funding them. Similarly, attention to the airport is increasingly important for growth and appointing an independent board to oversee it and seek out new revenue sources makes sense. If Yorkton ever wants to be a true city, it needs to have a proper airport. The current one is an embarrassment. Where the Chamber’s wish list starts to run the danger of being contrary to the overall public interest is in terms of taxes and incentives. It wants commercial property taxes to go down and residential to go up. It also wants a re-evaluation of the development levy and re-introduction and expansion of the Enterprise Zone Incentive Program (EZIP). We are not necessarily opposed to these measures, but they require serious and detailed examination. The general public should be wary of the trickle down economic model on which they are based. Property taxes should be balanced by benefits received, not some arbitrary concept of equal distribution. Businesses provide benefits to the community, but they also benefit. A city has to not only be a place where people want to do business, but a place where people want to live. Neither should be sacrificed at the expense of the other. We applaud the Chamber for attempting to engage voters. We encourage people to do so and get out to exercise their democratic right on October 26 for their own good and for the common good.
Let there be light in buildings While the building is not the most important part of a school – that’s the staff and students – it’s definitely an important part of a school. I’m sure the people in Langenburg would agree with that statement, as they’re going from a failing building into a completely new one. The staff stays the same, the student body is a little different but still the reason everyone is there, but now their jobs are easier since they’re working in the best building they could possibly have, rather than a building which was only open because they needed to build the new one. I had the pleasure of touring the new school in the small town, and I was struck by one aspect of the design. The building was the best lit school I have ever been inside. Most importantly, it was largely natural light, and it made the school much nicer to navigate and photograph than the majority of schools I have experienced. If you’re in Langenburg Central School, you will see a building that is exceptionally well lit. Maybe that’s just because I am a photographer, it’s in my nature to notice light, but I found myself wishing every single architect in the world takes a tour of Langenburg’s school to see what happens when you invest in glass and windows. It’s just a much more pleasant environment to work in, and it’s a lot nicer for everyone, whether kids, adults or otherwise. You can see what you’re doing, you don’t have to deal with omnipresent fluorescent lights as much as you would in other environments, and it’s just a much nicer place to spend time. That’s not to say there is anything wrong with the existing schools in the region. It’s only natural that the newest school in a division – in this case the Good Spirit School Division – would be the school that is closest to the modern architectural trends. If the GSSD has the chance to build another school, it’s probably going to have some noticeable similarities to the school in Langenburg, they’ve done a good job on it and know it. It’s also the case where any of the older schools in the division were right on trend with how schools used to be designed. And older buildings can sometimes have clever ways of bringing nature into a space – the Yorkton Regional High School, for example, as a courtyard next to the administration office, and the placement of that allows the common area off of that office to be well lit and allows the school to wrap around that area while still giving everyone light. St. Paul’s Elementary School has the kindergarten class open out onto an outdoor classroom area to get kids outside when the weather allows. Even if the building isn’t necessarily designed with light in mind, clever people in the building can always find a way to work

around it, another reason why the people in the building are the most important part of the school. We have a lot of clever people in local schools, the kids should be thankful. The trends at any given point are not necessarily better than previous trends, there are many examples of new buildings replacing older, more architecturally interesting buildings. In this case, however, we have hit a point where something wonderful is now being designed into the new spaces, and that’s natural light. It was not always the case where natural light was designed into a building. In many cases, that light is deliberately designed out, you won’t see many big box stores that have much in the way of window space, that’s less efficient than putting up shelves on those walls. The most efficient course of action can often preclude placing a priority on a well lit space. Common areas are often placed where they are most efficient, which can sometimes mean they’re placed in the middle of a building where light doesn’t reach. The style of the time can mean that the windows are not large enough or placed in the right place to really light a building well. In most cases, if a building isn’t well lit, it’s because that’s the nature of architecture when that building was made, it existed when the trends did not emphasize natural light. It is now the trend, and it goes beyond that one school. I’ve talked to several businesses who, when renovating or designing their new locations, made sure to make building in natural light a high priority. You can always tell because the people responsible for the decision inevitably brag about it. From my perspective, good for them, they’re making a work environment that’s just better for everyone who is in their employ. It’s better to work in a well lit building, better to play in one, better to live in one. Finally, we have embraced the trend towards natural light and are incorporating it into these new spaces. The sheer amount of glass in the new LCS is evidence that this is a trend that is being firmly embraced. Everyone’s eyes are going to be grateful for that movement.

Travelling in your own back yard This September 8th marks the fiftieth anniversary of the most influential events in space science: the premiering of the TV series Star Trek on NBC. This program and its spinoffs have been credited with inspiring hundreds of inventions. Star Fleet had cell phones and laptops decades before we figured out how to actually build one. Even NASA was inspired, naming one of its space shuttles after Star Fleet’s flagship, the ‘Enterprise’. On the occasion of this momentous event, I’ve arranged a special
conjunction that will allow you to do what any good Trekkie would do. On the night of the 8th, the Moon will appear above a triangle made up of Saturn, Mars and Antares. Be sure to get outside and check out where no man has gone before. Well, except for the Moon... been there, done that. However, to get to some of the other places, especially the stars, we’re going to have to figure out the Star Trek’s warp drive. While we’re a few years from Interstellar travel, we do experience Time travel every day.
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. Vision is the result of particles of light (called photons) striking your retina at the back of your eyes. When you see something happen, such as a car driving by, you see it because light has travelled from the car to your eyes. With the speed of light at around 300,000 kilometres per
second, you see the car drive by pretty much as it happens. However, when light arrives at your eye from distant objects such as the Moon, the Sun and the stars, even the speedy photons take time to complete that trip: 1.3 seconds from the Moon, 8.3 minutes
from the Sun and over 400 years from the North Star. You are not seeing objects in space as they are today, but as they looked when their light left them. You are seeing the Moon as it was a second ago, the planets as they were minutes ago, but the Big Dipper as it was in 1935, when Captain James T. Kirk was just a four year old pre-schooler in Montreal. If one of the stars in the Dipper had blown up in 1936, you will not even notice that it’s missing until some time in 2017. In the daytime, we live in the present, but
once night falls, what we see is photons of light finishing journeys through space that have lasted from a few seconds through a few millions of years. It is impossible to see the universe as it is today; on any given night we simultaneously view it as it was days, years and millennia ago. Only at sunrise do we return, once again, to the present. The Enterprise may have had Warp Drive, but we can enjoy time travel, every night, from right here in our own back yard. Live long and prosper.
How Canada can put its economy back in gear Troy Media - “Building an economy that works for the middle class” is the mantra of Justin Trudeau’s government. But ‘middle class’ is never defined, making it difficult to know if progress is being made on what the government calls its most important objective. On at least some measures, the middle class in Canada actually looks to be doing reasonably well. From 2010 to 2014, the total pre-tax income of the typical family defined, statistically, as the “median” family consisting of two or more related persons - rose from $80,900 to $87,000 in constant 2014 dollars. This is an increase (after inflation) of 7.5 per cent over four years - a decent gain. Against the backdrop of a chronically weak global economy and a Canadian economy struggling to eke out any growth, it won’t be easy to increase median real
incomes faster than during the 2010 to 2014 period. Nonetheless, Prime Minister Trudeau and his colleagues want to try. In doing so, they can tap into the expertise of the Advisory Council on Economic Growth appointed by Finance Minister Bill Morneau earlier this year. Its mandate is to come up with “bold and innovative ideas that will lead to a higher standard of living for the middle class and those working hard to join it.” To be effective, such ideas will need to boost the growth potential of the Canadian economy over the medium-term and beyond. What would establish conditions favouring stronger economic growth and a better future for the middle class? The advisory council will no doubt produce an extensive list of suggestions. In the meantime, there are several areas where smart government policy can
help. One obvious priority is to accelerate investments in infrastructure, including technologies that facilitate the efficient use of scarce infrastructure assets. With record low interest rates, there has never been a better time to invest in infrastructure - especially in projects geared towards improving productivity and raising the economy’s growth potential. Budget 2016 took some steps in this direction but there is more to be done. The challenge extends well beyond the traditional public sector domain. In pursuing its infrastructure agenda, the federal government should seek to leverage private sector capital pools and rely more on user charges and innovative financing arrangements, in order to manage costs and risks to taxpayers. It should also be looking to expedite the many tens of billions of dollars of
infrastructure investments being proposed by private-sector companies and consortia across the country. Second, it is critical to ensure Canadian goods and services have access to global markets. This calls for an outwardlooking, proactive approach to trade and investment. If the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the comprehensive trade and economic agreement with the European Union remain stalled, Canada will need to pursue bilateral discussions with trading partners in Asia and Europe. We must also press on with efforts to strengthen the North American partnership and modernize the Canada-U.S. border to streamline the movement of low-risk goods and travellers. Third, Ottawa has to start paying more attention to the global competitiveness of Canada’s natural resource industries - industries that
directly support hundreds of thousands of middle class families and supply more than half the country’s merchandise exports. To thrive and grow, our natural resource industries need excellent rail and road networks, efficient ports, and expanded energy infrastructure that allows Canadian oil and gas to reach offshore markets where the demand for energy continues to expand. And while the Trudeau government has pledged to overhaul the key regulatory regimes affecting natural resource projects and related infrastructure development, it is vital that this work not result in even more cumbersome and delay-prone review and approval processes. It’s an area where Canada is already saddled with a poor reputation in the eyes of global capital markets and the investment community. Finally, Ottawa can
better align the tax system to support economic growth and the creation of high-paying jobs. This means keeping general business tax rates low, ensuring that tax policy encourages the speedy diffusion of advanced technologies across the business sector, paring back the thicket of boutique tax credits and incentives that have proliferated since the 1990s, and modifying tax rules and administrative procedures to account for the shift to the digital economy. Following these steps will help create an economy that works for the middle class - and everyone else. Jock Finlayson is executive vice-president of the Business Council of British Columbia.

Blue Jays limping early in September The 2016 baseball season has been a roller coaster ride for Toronto Blue Jays fans. Early on the team looked so bad that a wholesale blow out of talent looked to be the best course. But the ship righted and sailed into contention in the American League East, where a wild card berth looked to be likely. The team didn’t make any midseason moves that were close to adding David Price last summer, but a tinker here, and a tweak there, and as September arrived the Jays were in first place, and frankly look poised to win the AL East now. That is huge as it will avoid them having to play the ridiculous onegame wild card playoff. Yes, I recognize time is an issue when considering a longer wild card set, but one game is ridiculous and usually means the winner burning their ace, putting them as even larger underdogs as they move along. The question is can the 2016 Jays make it to World Series? After their run last season, anything less has to be deemed a failure. To win it all a team generally needs some playoff experience, or maybe it’s just that losing a playoff set makes you hungrier to succeed. Either way the Jays should want it badly come October. That need should be made keener by the realization whatever transpires there are several members of the current roster who are unlikely to return next year. We often talk about windows of opportunity in sport, and the window on some core members of the Jays seems likely to close after this year, at least in terms of them having a shot in TO Blue. The starting staff looks deep enough. The big sticks are there, although at times the Jays bats go rather silent against stellar
pitching. The question mark is middle relief, something that has proven to be the key to success in playoff runs of late. Rare is the starter who is effective after six innings in the heat of a playoff series. Often they are pulled after five. The Jays have reliable Roberto Osuna as the closer, but the bridge from starter to closer has been rickety at times this season. The bullpen will need to perform above what it has shown to-date this season for this edition of the Jays to have the eyes of Canada upon it in the World Series. Why oh why ‘Riders? The Saskatchewan Roughriders are devolving. They have been abysmal on the field for a couple of seasons, but now they are becoming a bad punchline. What do they do when they have one win in nine starts? Well they get caught and fined for breaking CFL rules. Sure there are those who believe all teams do what they were caught doing, but the fact is they got caught and it cost the team cold hard cash.
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels
Oh, and they still weren’t winning. So what comes next? The Roughriders sign Khalif Mitchell to their practice roster. Really Chris Jones you think adding this walking billboard for trouble is going to somehow help this team win? Or, is Mitchell on board to divert attention away from how bad the team is as we stare in disbelief that the team signed this guy? Remember Mitchell has at best a controversial career. His CFL career looked to have come to an end before the start of last season, when he made antiSemitic posts on Twitter. Mitchell was fined by the league and his then team, the Montreal Alouettes, who subsequently released him. Yes, Mitchell is a twotime CFL all-star defensive lineman, and he comes with a spotted resume having been fined several times, for
on- and off-field incidents heading up to the seeming career-ending bad choices made last year. At 30, he didn’t find work with another team. That is understandable the guy is a ticking time bomb, in terms of when he might again make a bad choice. And it’s not just Twitter madness. Mitchell was suspended for two games by the CFL in 2012 when he was a member of the B.C. Lions. After getting into a twisted mass with Edmonton Eskimos offensive lineman Simeon Rottier, Mitchell spun around and hyperextended Rottier’s left elbow. That’s brain power at work. So maybe age has mellowed Mitchell, or he has grown smarter, but the question remains if the heart of a bigot remains.
This is the guy that after the CFL fined him for antic-Semitic Twitter posts had the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs to issue a release voicing its concerns about Mitchell. Apparently the league office is not convinced he is reformed issuing a statement they’ll be monitoring the situation. So really Jones why go down this road? It’s not like this season is salvageable if George Reed was suddenly 24 again and Ron Lancaster’s ghost was at quarterback. Mitchell won’t be the answer, no matter the question this year, and no one can think he’s a big part of a retooled 2017 team either. But here we are John Chick looking pretty darned good in Hamilton,
and fans here left to stomach Mitchell on the roster. Ouch, that just plain hurts the ‘Rider Pride. Sadly the signing smacks of desperation on the part of Jones. In the midst of what should be a rebuild with youth, he suddenly plucks Mitchell from the scrap heap, warts, bad choices and bigotry included, as a potentially viable way to improve the team. The ticket taker at gate 7 could have found a better option by going through a web search of unsigned college players. Jones, the team saviour only a few short months ago, is now beginning to tear at fandom in much the same was Corey Chamblin did, and we all know how well that turned out.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, September 8, 2016 - Page 7A
Honeywood’s “A Touch of Autumn” – Not to be missed! If you’ve grown ‘Honeywood’ saskatoon; ‘Spring Snow’ flowering (but non-fruiting) crabapple or ‘Earlibird’, ‘Flaming Giant’, ‘Jolly Miller’, ‘Golden Age’ or ‘Happy Thoughts’ lilies, you’ve been the beneficiary of Bert Porter’s plant introductions. Working alone and in geographic isolation, he had neither formal horticulture training nor public or institutional support. Yet he made major contributions to prairie fruit and lily breeding. Several of his plants are still available and many are being used by plant breeders to develop the next generation of unique prairiehardy plants. Born in 1901 in Guilford, England, Bert Porter immigrated with his family to a homestead near Parkside, Saskatchewan in 1907. His family grew a large garden and picked wild fruit through the summer. His early familiarity with the local native fruit undoubtedly piqued Bert’s interest in using it to impart hardiness in his own fruit breeding work years later.
Bert attended the local primary school and then high school in Moose Jaw. After a six month “winter course” at the Normal School in Saskatoon, he taught for 12 years in rural schools. Unable to find employment during the Depression, he first sold nursery stock and later began his own nursery. He continued working until 1991. Bert was the recipient of numerous awards during his lifetime, including an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from the University of Saskatchewan in 1983. At the age of 89, he retired to seniors housing in Parkside. He died in August, 2000. In 1999, a group of neighbours purchased Homewood Lilies and Nursery to preserve this unique horticultural legacy. Since then, the original buildings have been restored, the grounds cleaned up, and many of the “lost” plants identified and labeled. Honeywood (Dr. A. J. Porter) Heritage Nursery was designated a Municipal Heritage Property in 2001, a pro-
vincial Heritage Property in 2007, and became a registered nonprofit corporation in 2009. It has received numerous tourism, heritage and horticulture awards. “A Touch of Autumn”, to be held on Sunday, September 18 from 1-4 pm (admission $5), is one of several events held annually at Honeywood to celebrate Bert’s achievements, welcome visitors to this 80 acre parkland oasis in the midst of farmland, and raise funds for its continued development. The day will include great food (“the best apple and rhubarb pie in the country”), music and entertainment as well as wagon tours of the nursery. Visitors can follow the paths and enjoy the fall colours of the many beautiful and unique trees (such as Douglas fir, ‘Dropmore’ lindens, and Siberian larch) found throughout the nursery. Among the horticulture displays are the Porter lily and fruit introductions in the Memorial Garden; the Allan Daku Garden
which recognizes Allan’s many years at the nursery; Winnie’s Annual Flower Bed planted as a tribute to Mrs. Porter; the Melba Jenkins Species Lily Bed; and the Canadian Breeders Lily Garden.

A selection of potted lilies (more than 300 varieties are grown at Honeywood) and perennials will be available for sale as well as a large variety of jellies, jams and salsa made with fruit grown at the nursery. Bring a pail for U-Pick fruit from late season apples and crabapples.

C o m m u n i t y Association There has been some vandalism at Spilchen Meadows, with the disappearance of some of the shuffleboard discs and breakage of all the push poles. The discs have now been found but most of them are damaged. New equipment has to be ordered and a new system will be set in place for their use next summer. The mast on the boat had to be removed this summer as it was sheared off. The Community Assoc. will be installing a new one this fall. They also plan to finish installing the garden rails around the James Memorial area. We are currently looking into the price of windows and a door for the camp kitchen.
