Terry Fox Run hits close to home for YRHS By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer For students at Yorkton Regional High School, the Terry Fox Run hit closer to home than it has before. One of their own, Chad Young, is recovering from the same type of cancer as Terry Fox had, osteosarcoma, and Fred Fox, Terry Fox’s brother also came to help lead the run and speak to the students. It started a year ago, when Young found a small lump on his back. It was difficult to see, but uncomfortable, so he went to his doctor to see what was going on. That lead to a trip to Saskatoon for more scans, which lead to finding out it was a tumor, and was cancerous. He started chemotherapy a week later, and found out he was going to lose his leg after having to go to Toronto for surgery after Christmas. That was followed by another round of chemotherapy, and now Young’s most recent scans have shown him to be free of cancer, something which makes him happy. While adjusting to living with one leg is difficult, Young says, and doing simple tasks like using the shower require a completely new
approach, he’s happy to be recovering and to be back at school. Like a typical teenage boy, he’s also happy that he still has his right leg, because that means he can still drive. “I just tried to get back to normal as much as I could, as much as possible.” Getting back to normal has been helped by the staff and students at YRHS, and Young says that everyone has gone “way out of their way” to help him get back into school again after a year battling cancer. The Terry Fox Run is a way for Fox to tell the story of his brother, and reach kids who were the same age as Terry was when he was diagnosed with cancer. “Terry wasn’t the biggest athlete, the best athlete or the smartest kid in class, but with hard work he overcame a lot of challenges.” Travelling to schools is important to Fox because they are the same as Terry was, as he was just a kid when he received a cancer diagnosis. He says that he hopes to inspire kids by telling Terry’s story, but that he is also inspired by the kids themselves as they take up the cause.
“I think it’s awesome that kids, the next generation, are continuing his story, continuing his dream to find a cure for cancer. It was young kids who inspired Terry, he saw young kids going through the same thing.” Meeting a student who went through the same diagnosis that his brother did shows that the last 36 years have been well spent, because Young is doing well. “He’s had a rough go, but it shows that the work that has been done, the money that has been raised over the years, is truly making a difference in the lives of those who have been diagnosed with cancer.” That said, there is still more work to be done. Fox lost his father to lung cancer in March, and says that while he was not able to benefit from some of the research that the Terry Fox Foundation is funding, millions of others have. “There is a lot of work to go, but we also know many people who have lived 20, 15, 30 years longer because of the research that’s going on.”

Young says he’s proud to be following in Terry’s footsteps, and is amazed by what he has done and
what his legacy has been. “I really appreciate what he did, and he’s a true hero.”
But Young is now focused on his future, and the fact that he still has one.
She says part of the reason why she wanted to write a murder mystery was to become a police officer in fiction, as she always wanted to do in real life but never had the chance. On the other hand, a central character is a waitress at the local Dairy Queen, which was also Bingham’s job when she lived in the area.
Saskatchewan. The western began with a frustration with most western novels.
“I’m still here, that’s all that matters... I’m taking life more seriously now, it’s not just a game.”
Yorkton the setting for a murder mystery
By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
Swift Current author Irene Bingham has written her first murder mystery. Inspired by two true real events that the author twisted together, the book And Heaven Finds a Witness takes place partially in the Yorkton area, and had a launch at the Yorkton Public Library.
Bingham started with two real events. One was a murder in Cook’s Inlet in Alaska in 1982. The
other was the RCMP driving a replica of a truck across Canada trying to find witnesses in the Wells Gray murders. “I’ve taken a cross of the two and come up with a solution in Yorkton. It’s a very simple incident nobody thinks about.” The setting in Yorkton came from Bingham’s own past, as they lived in Yorkton for over 30 years. She also says that there were many witnesses in Yorkton who saw the
truck that inspired the book. Putting the book together took a lot of advanced planning, and Bingham mapped out the book well in advance of writing it. With this as her first time writing a novel, she says she wanted to make sure each chapter connected to the most important part of any murder mystery, the victims. In a way, the book is a combination of Bingham’s dreams and her reality.
Bingham has two novels in the works, one a sequel to this novel, inspired by another real murder, and the other a western, both based in
“I like Louis L’Amour westerns, but I don’t like the fact that the man is always the hero, so I figured that the lady should be the hero.” Writing Saskatchewan stories is natural for Bingham, because that’s where her and her husband have lived all their life. She believes anything can happen here.

Yorkton Film Festival nominated for award The Yorkton Film Festival has been nominated for a Saskatchewan Arts Award. The local film festival is nominated in the Leadership Organization category, along with the Globe Theatre in Regina an the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern. Randy Goulden, executive director of the Yorkton Film Festival, says to be nominated you have to outline how you are leading in your community, provincially and nationally. “In Yorkton, I think one of the largest things that we do, the biggest thing that has the most impact, is the leadership we provide in our students day that happens before the first day of the festival. We bring in professional filmmakers and they do a full day workshop at Sacred Heart High School, to high
school students from across the province. These students are allowed to work with, number one, professional equipment that they would not otherwise see in the high school. They are then learning from award-winning instructors from across Canada. All of this for a very low fee that basically covers the lunch that we provide.” Provincially and nationally, the festival provides professional development to filmmakers at the festival, Goulden says. Regular screenings of films nationally are another area where the festival provides leadership. A highlight in the past year was the Voices of Courage program, which brought awareness of Canada’s role in the world wars. It’s an honor to be nominated for the same award as the Globe Theatre and the Station Arts Centre, Goulden
says, describing it as humbling and overwhelming to be nominated in that group. “Here we are, in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
This is our 70th anniversary. We have incredible volunteers in our city and across Canada. We are humbled by the fact that we are nominated

Three photographers show Saskatchewan By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The Saskatchewan Prairie Light P h o t o g r a p h y Competition had as its prize exhibitions at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery. The Bronze Award saw three photographers present their work together at a joint exhibition. Todd Schick, Janice Weber and Jeff Wizniak showed their work as part of Photography: Between Art and Object. Originally from Yorkton, Wizniak says he began taking photos as a form of stress relief. He would go out for a drive with his camera, and found himself taking an ever increasing number of photos, trying to go out finding interesting and unique items. “It has become part of my life, I always have my camera with me, and I’m always looking to capture something beautiful or interesting. It’s my passion.” Wizniak decided to participate because he wanted to see what would happen. “There are a lot of photo contests on Facebook or around the internet where it basically turns into a popu-
larity contest... I figured it would be interesting to see how others would critique my work.” Schick has begun taking photos relatively recently, and his work is drawn from exploring his home community. He admits he doesn’t know why he is compelled to take photos, but believes it keeps him in the moment. For Weber, she has taken photos and collected photos for a long time, and believes it’s a form of communication. “I think the way I take pictures, it’s almost like taking notes, visually. I think it’s a way to communicate, in a silent way without words. I do a lot of observing, I think that’s why I take pictures.” Weber was intrigued by the nature of the portfolio prize, because she felt that she did better with a body of work than she would by taking a single image. “I take a lot of pictures, and I think sometimes they work better together than to try to pick them apart from each other.” The three photographers put on a cohesive show, even if they were working completely independently when creating
the work. Schick theorizes that there’s a certain Saskatchewan look to the work, which the judges noticed when putting the show together.
was happening in the country were contradicted by Soviet officials, Dzerowicz says, and as a result many people don’t know that it had happened. Documents about the event have only recently been uncovered. “The Holodomor was a piece of hidden and covered up piece of tragic Ukrainian history. It was covered up by the Soviet Union.” It’s also the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Canada, and with Yorkton having a large Ukrainian population, Dzerowicz says it was a natural stop for the tour. She also says that it’s an opportunity to show people how important it was that their ancestors left the country in time. “Those people were the lucky ones, they escaped the brutal regimes, though they didn’t know it at the time.” The visit at Sacred Heart High School meant bringing the school’s classes through the bus and getting them to work together on looking at documents and artifacts from the era and presenting their findings to each other. The general public had the opportunity to watch documentaries on the subject on a wall of screens that made up one side of the touring bus. It’s not just about Holodomor, but about keeping people aware that genocides still happen in the world, and to use Holodomor as a way to educate people to try to get them aware of any similar events happening in the world. Dzerowicz uses the example of China’s one child policy as a kind of genocide, and the kind of
thing they hope people become more aware of as they learn more about the topic. “It’s never a punishment for doing something, but more of a punishment for a nation for who they are, and how they might not fit into somebody’s scheme of things.” Dzerowicz also believes students, such as the ones at Sacred Heart High School, are the people who need to hear the message most of all. “It’s up to our youth to take a call to action and stand up and speak against these regimes that are happening and these actions that governments are taking against the human race. It’s not just one person, it’s everyone who has to take action. It’s not just one person who is affected, it’s everyone who is affected, because it’s a ripple effect.”
One tie between the three photographers is that they all make their work by exploring, whether it’s Melville, Saskatoon or the prairies that surround them. Each mentioned a love of exploration in their words to the crowd. “Some people, their joy in life is listening to stories. Others is making a story, whether it’s a photo, a book, a song, some people are just born to create and share. Part of that is you have to get out, you have to explore,” Wizniak says. There is also some credit that needs to be shared with Don Stein, executive director of the gallery, Weber says, because he was the one who selected the work overall and had to tie the three artists together. She says from her own portfolio, he selected some unexpected work, and that helped bring the show together.

Schick has his eye on going bigger, and he wants to have a solo show with larger images.
Weber hopes that she can do more prints, because seeing the images in print transforms her work and makes it more permanent. Wizniak wants to continue on the
same path. “To keep exploring, to keep seeing new stuff, to keep challenging myself and try to find some beauty in this world,” Wizniak says.
“I think his eye really pulled us together as well.” All three intend on
Holodomor tour By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
The Holodomor, which took place in Ukraine in 1932 and 1933, resulted in the deaths of millions of people, but because if was covered up by the former USSR, it has not been well known. The Holodomor National Awareness Tour intends to make people more aware of what happened, why it happened, and why it remains important. Holodomor means death by starvation, and was the result of a famine created by the Russian government, which was made by selling Ukrainian grain on the open market while not allowing Ukrainian people to eat any of the food produced in their nation explains Roma Dzerowicz, Executive Director of the Holodomor National Awareness Tour. “You had the regime taking away food stock, taking away grain. Ukraine was the bread basket of Europe, and it had more grain to feed all of Europe and then some, but what Russia was doing was taking the grain away, selling it into the open market. It affected Canadian grain prices because they were exporting double what their normal quota was, dumping it in the western market.” But Dzerowicz says it wasn’t merely about getting grain. “They wanted independence, Stalin didn’t like it, he wanted to hold them back, have them part of his puppetry, for lack of better words, and just to have control.” The event was covered up by the Soviet Union, and even reports of what

Choice favours little change
Incumbents in the upcoming municipal election should be feeling pretty comfortable. Incumbency is usually an advantage, particularly in the municipal realm, unless, of course, you have done something to anger large swaths of the electorate. That does not appear to be the case for the current mayor and council. In fact, aside from the mayor, and the few times councillors take their turns filling in for the mayor at public events, they tend to keep a pretty low profile. Even council meetings do not provide much of an opportunity to see the group currently ensconced at City Hall in action, not that the public ever shows up anyway. These veterans do their homework and make full use (some would say too much use) of in-camera sessions, so actual debate during council meetings is rare. Another reason incumbents might be uneasy is if there is simply a change sentiment afoot. All governments, no matter how popular they may have been at one time, eventually wear out their welcomes. This one—albeit with the mayor’s seat having been a bit of musical chair—has been around a long time. The overflowing slate of candidates, four for mayor, and 24 for six councillor positions would seem to indicate there is an appetite for change, at least among the segment of the citizenry disposed to running for office. If there is a broader desire for change, this ballot is unlikely to accomplish it. The number of candidates is simply overwhelming. There are four times the number of hopefuls as there are positions to fill. There is an argument to be made for the party system here. Political parties have the advantage of narrowing the field by selecting (ostensibly) the best candidate from among relatively like-minded wannabes. As an aside, even though we do not practice party politics at the municipal level, candidates should have to disclose political affiliations (past or present). That could be something for the new council to consider. Be that as it may, we are left with what we have, a lot of people to consider in a short amount of time and that favours the incumbents. Even a very conscientious voter is going to have a difficult time parsing the choices. Just getting enough information on all the candidates to make an informed choice is fraught with roadblocks. Start with the media. We try to be fair and balanced in our coverage. For broadcasters that means equal time, but there is a finite time slot. If it is an hour, ten candidates would get six minutes each. For 24 candidates, it would only be 2.5 minutes. For newspapers it is a space issue. There are only so many pages and even if we designate a larger hole during the election, it will be far from comprehensive coverage. The Chamber of Commerce has scheduled public debates. Just putting 24 candidates on stage is a logistical nightmare. A lot of voices are going to get lost in that crowd. There is a considerable amount of research that suggests when faced with too much choice people reach for the familiar. Certainly that must favour either incumbents or famous people. When voters look down a list of 24 names, it is going to be tempting to tick the boxes next to recognizable ones even for people who have done their research. For a lot of voters, particularly the last-minute kind, it may come down to the mini-profiles on the City’s website. And those are pretty meager to say the least, long on community spirit and short on policy. A few of the hopefuls have set up websites or Facebook pages that are linked on the City candidate profiles. Those, if they are good and active may give a candidate a leg up. Door-knocking, lawn signs, campaign barbecues, any little thing could make a huge difference in a field as big as the 2016 one is. Name recognition is going to be key. Ultimately, though, with so many new faces to split the change vote, things are not likely to change much. That is unfortunate because probably the best thing for the City right now would be a nice balance of experience and new blood.
Big ballot shows interest in city One of my firmly held beliefs is that every election requires a full compliment of serious candidates. No safe seats, no foregone conclusions. Even if I like the incumbents, even if I go ahead and vote for them, I do not want them to have an easy task. Nobody should ever feel their job is safe going into a vote. That’s how democracy is supposed to work. As we fast approach the next election in a rapid block of them, that for the Mayor and city council of Yorkton, we have a city that’s being given a lot of choice. This one is not a foregone conclusion, and unlike last time it’s actually a hotly contested race. While current Mayor Bob Maloney had an opponent last time around, he was not a serious one. Maloney ran effectively unopposed on his first run, his share of the vote was over ninety per cent. This time around, he’s not unopposed, and has three opponents. Andrew Probe, Calvin Tokarchuk and Chris Wyatt are all on the ballot. Two new faces, one that’s familiar – Wyatt is a former mayor and is on council – and a race that looks a lot tighter than the one four years ago. It’s four serious candidates for the mayor’s chair, which to my mind is great. What is democracy without choice? I think it’s great for the city that we have more people who want to lead it even as they know it’s going to be a challenging term – road construction is a big part of the next four years, and it’s expensive and annoying to residents. The race for council, meanwhile, is massive. There are twenty four people running for a seat, a wide range of people representing a wide range of point of views and demographics. It’s not entirely clear why the council run is so big, but there are some things that are a bit exciting about it. One, the ballot is relatively young, something which is a good sign for the future of the city. This isn’t meant as a dig against the current council, but an observation that any political campaign tends to trend older. That we have people who are closer to my own age running and getting engaged in municipal politics is a good sign. Only a quarter of the candidates are going to get a seat this time around, but I hope that the people who don’t get on council remain engaged and are not discouraged, because they’re still an important part of the city’s landscape. To my mind the fact that the entire current council is running for something – though we will definitely see at least one person leave – is a great thing as well. They are standing by what they’ve done for the past four years, so it doesn’t feel as though anyone is trying to cut and run or is ashamed of the direction the city took. If you disagree with what the city has done for the past four years, you’ve got plenty of options to go with, but if you’re happy, you

don’t have to do anything too risky. If you’re somewhere in between, satisfied with some people but thinking there are a couple others that need to be replaced, you’ve got more than a few options to pick. Every election is a judgement of how people have done their job, and in this case we have an opportunity to pick whoever we want. Even with 24 names, there are some gaps. There should be more women on there, a mere three – Randy Goulden, Shelly Ross and Donna Brothwell – are among the names listed. It is strange that in what has to be one of the biggest ballots in the city’s history we have so few women, and I would argue that having more women on council would better represent the city of Yorkton as a whole. Of course, you can’t just will women onto the ballot, you have to find women willing to run, and I hope more do so in the future. It can be argued that this ballot is a bit too big, it’s difficult to get everyone’s message out when there are so many people with messages on the list. But this is how municipal elections work, and everyone who wants to run gets a chance. A ton of people have ideas that they think will improve the city, twenty four of them think they can do it through city council, four by being mayor. It’s a good sign that the city is getting engaged in its future and that so many people want a say. If they don’t have the chance through council, and 18 will not, I hope they keep working for the public. We’ve got a heathy mix of people on the ballot, and now we are at the next step. We have a large group of people willing to put their names forward and go on the ballot to take the risk of running for council. Now we as voters have to do our job. We have to be the ones to pick the people we feel will do the best job for us, and to fill out our ballots accordingly, and we all have to turn up and actually take the opportunity to guide the city’s direction. This ballot is a large one, with many worthy names on it, but the voters have to be just as active in having a say in where this city is going. A massive ballot might mean a lot of people want to guide the city’s direction, but everyone else has a part to play in this election as well.

Our Milky Way With a few rare exceptions, when you look up at a clear night sky, everything you see lies within our personal galaxy of 100-400 billion stars, called The Milky Way. Galaxies come in many shapes and sizes. Ours is classed as a barred spiral, and resembles a four-armed child’s pinwheel (only a hundred light years bigger). Our Sun and its planets orbit the centre of the pinwheel about two thirds of the way out from the centre along one of the pinwheel arms. Imagine the pinwheel is made of stars
and picture yourself on a planet two thirds out from the middle. If you look toward an edge, you will see a scattering of stars, but if you look toward the centre, there will be many more stars in your field of view. When you’re talking billions, they tend to blend together. That edge-on blended view is what forms that ‘milky’ band in the sky, giving our galaxy its name. Anyway, that’s a longwinded introduction to the fact that this is a great time of the year to view the Milky Way from any relatively darkish urban area once sunset’s
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. glow has faded out (country folk have no problem – the Milky Way is too prominent to be missed). In late September and early October, the brightest part of the Milky Way stretches from the south – south west horizon, up the southern sky, to overhead. If you look
south at about 8pm, Mars is the brightest object in the area. It lies in the constellation Sagittarius. To the west, you’ll find Saturn in Scorpius. The actual centre of the galaxy lies between, and slightly below, a line between Mars and Saturn. Although it’s the
brightest part of the Milky Way, the centre itself cannot be seen because it’s obscured by dust. If you shift your gaze overhead, you should be able to spot a prominent cross shape known as the Northern Cross (officially Cygnus the Swan), and to it’s west, bright Vega in the constellation Lyra. Sagittarius, Scorpius, Cygnus and Lyra, and the eight or so constellations in between, hold some of the northern hemisphere’s best astronomical objects. Scanning the area with binoculars from a dark sky will provide many
interesting sights; through a telescope, there’s a lifetime of fascinating objects to study. While it’s possible, from a dark corner of your back yard, look beyond the nearby stars and glimpse the edge of our galaxy itself, the Milky Way can only be fully appreciated from a dark rural sky. Seeing the enormity of our home galaxy stretched out before us tends to put our place in the universe into perspective. A dark sky view of our Milky Way should be on everyone’s bucket list. There are few sights more humbling.
Liberals’ moving expenses apology bogus There are times when an apology is genuine, based on personal regret over a decision, direction, thought or action that ultimately caused some harm. There are also times when an apology is based on the fact that someone got caught doing something wrong. The apologies by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s two senior advisers, principal secretary Gerald Butts and chief of staff Katie Telford, are in the latter category. Last week, it was revealed that the Liberals had spent $1.1 million on reimbursements for moving expenses after last year’s federal election. Most of the 49 ministerial aides received a few thousand dollars, which is par for the course. It was eventually revealed, however, that
Butts and Telford’s combined expenses were more than one-fifth of the total payout for their respective moves from Toronto to Ottawa. Butts claimed $126,669; Telford, $80,382. How on Earth did they reach these sorts of numbers? Butts’s Facebook page on Sept. 22 noted that the PM’s mandarins claimed significant sums of money for real estate/ legal fees as well as a “personalized cash payout and incidentals.” (Butts also expensed the land transfer tax, an additional municipal tax that has long been the source of much derision in Toronto.) They noted this reimbursement policy “has been updated periodically over the years” by various federal governments, including the Conservatives in 2011.
But after their claims were made public, they both reached the conclusion that the “personalized cash payout,” as well as the land transfer tax, were “unreasonable” expenses. “We take full responsibility for this having happened and because of that we are sorry,” Butts and Telford jointly wrote. “We’ve learned a lot of lessons over the past few days, and we commit to continuing to improve transparency in the future.” On the surface, this apology sounded genuine. But was it? It is true, these expenses were within the rules. It is also true the private sector has a history of reimbursing these types of moving expenses when they hire senior-level personnel. Neither of these points matter.
Senior government staffers (and junior staffers) have to use some common sense when claiming expenses. Realty fees, legal fees and “personalized cash payouts” (whatever those entailed) should be viewed as discretionary items. There may be cases where some of these expenses are partially justified, based on geographic distance and quality of life. Moving from $2 million homes in Toronto to Ottawa just isn’t a good fit. It is also preposterous to compare the public/ government sector to the private sector. The former’s positions are paid for with taxpayer dollars. This means that you and I contributed to the lofty reimbursement package. The private sector, however, operates on a forprofit basis. Hence,
these expenses and reimbursements have nothing to do with taxpayers - and, as long as these private sector companies operate in a legal fashion, their choices and decisions don’t involve us. The Liberal moving expenses controversy has some striking similarities to the Senate scandal and Mike Duffy trial. Some rules in Ottawa are open to interpretation, but far too many politicos are willing to feed at the trough. It is always best to resist temptation: as a public servant, and for your own political future. This is not to excuse the Tories. The previous government shouldn’t have modified these rules five years ago, and it was a mistake that it didn’t. So far, the only thing
that has been revealed by the Privy Council Office is that Harper’s office reportedly spent a grand total of $325,000 on moving expenses. This included $93,000 for one senior staffer, spread over a three-year period. The big difference? It took the Conservatives nine years - between 2006-2015 - to spend that amount. Same policy; but it is worth asking why the payouts swelled so suddenly under Liberal rule.

During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we stand together in our support for a cure and our support for the women who are faced with the disease. By encouraging breast cancer research and raising awareness of the importance of early detection, we can all help save lives. It is estimated that nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and that more than 40,000 of these women will die. Breast cancer is a threat to women of all ages, races and walks of life. Even men are at risk for breast cancer, with approximately 1,700 men diagnosed each year. These numbers remind us why it is so important to know the signs, symptoms and risk factors of breast cancer. Early detection of breast cancer is the best weapon against the disease, which means breast self-exams should be performed regularly, with clinical breast exams every one to three years. By the age of 40, women should begin getting mammograms every one to two years. In addition, healthy lifestyle habits like physical activity, not smoking, minimizing alcohol intake and consuming plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables can help women reduce their risk factors.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, September 29, 2016 - Page 7A
Pot up bulbs today for a late winter cheerful display As a horticulture student, I volunteered to start a horticulture therapy program in a psychiatric facility. My greatest pleasure was witnessing a chronically depressed patient giving a pot of flowering tulips they had forced themselves to one of their caregivers. The tulips were a breath of fresh air toward the end of a particularly cold and dark winter, the caregiver was thrilled, and the patient was on the
road back to health. While I realize that a pot of tulips was not a miracle ‘cure’, it did provide a sense of empowerment and self esteem which had been hitherto in short supply in this person’s life. Forcing bulbs is easy. It’s a way of bringing bulbs into bloom inside much earlier than if planted outdoors. The embryonic flower is already there within the bulb when you purchase it in the fall. In order to
develop further, it needs a chilling period (“winter”). Always use large, high quality bulbs [you get what you pay for: small bulbs yield small blooms and weak plants]. Pot up bulbs at weekly intervals over several weeks in the fall to give yourself the gift of flowering plants starting as early as January through to early March. Pot up extras for friends and relatives. Use only a single cul-
tivar in each pot. Different species and cultivars often bloom at different times resulting in a patchy display. Start with two to three inches of soil-less potting mix in the bottom of a clean pot (wide shallow “bulb pans” are preferred) with drainage holes. Next, place the bulbs “shoulder to shoulder” with their pointy sides up. With tulips, put their ‘flat’ side to the outside of the pot – this way, the largest leaf is produced
to the outside as well, creating the nicest display. Cover with potting mix with the bulb tops just poking through. Water thoroughly and drain completely. Label each pot with cultivar, colour and potting date. Mark a few dates on your calendar as reminders: the potting date, at four and eight weeks to check if they need water, and at twelve to fourteen weeks to mark the end of the forcing period.
Keep the pots in a fridge or dark cold room at 2-4°C to simulate winter soil conditions. At the end of the chilling period, when the leaves/ shoots are two to five inches high and the roots are showing through the drainage holes, place your pot in a cool (15 to 18°C) room until the flowers open. Then move it to a location where you’ll get the most pleasure from a flowering display. Continued on page A13
Page 8A - Thursday, September 29, 2016 - THE NEWS REVIEW
Kronum new sport deserving of attention The previously planned excursion into alternate sports I would watch given a chance has been delayed until later in this column in favour of some rather amazing news. The Saskatchewan Rush have acquired forward Adam Jones from the Colorado Mammoth in exchange for forward Zack Greer. The two teams also exchanged draft picks in the deal. Colorado gets Saskatchewan’s ninth overall selection in the 2016 NLL Entry Draft which takes place later this month, while the Rush receive the Mammoth’s secondround pick in the 2017 Entry Draft. This is massive news in terms of the National Lacrosse League. The Rush, two-time defending champs have added one of the elite goal scorers in the league. Jones set career-highs with 51 goals, 42 assists and 93 points during the 2015 season. He became just the fourth player in Mammoth history to reach the 50-goal plateau, and his 93 points put him tied for eighth in league scoring. Despite missing four games in 2016, Jones still struck for 42 goals. “Adam is an outstand-
ing player who will be an excellent catalyst for our offence,” said Rush GM/ head coach Derek Keenan in an article posted at www.saskrush. com. “It is not easy trading a player with the skills and character of Zack Greer, but he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2017 season and we have to be mindful of the future. Adam is three years younger. He has already proven to be an elite offensive talent in the NLL and there is even more upside to come.” Greer spent the past six seasons with the Rush and is coming off his second consecutive 40-goal campaign. Jones has some familiarity with a number of Rush players and coach Keenan. He played with Kyle Rubisch and Mark Matthews on Canada’s gold medal-winning entry at the 2014 World Field Lacrosse Championship, and played for Keenan along with Rubisch, Matthews, Chris Corbeil, Brett Mydske, Ryan Dilks, and Aaron Bold on Team Canada which won its third straight World Indoor Lacrosse Championship in 2015. Like Greer in 2009, Jones was a third over-

all pick in the NLL Entry Draft, and he immediately showcased his offensive flair during his first pro season in 2012. He was named the NLL’s Rookie of the Year and earned a spot on the All-Rookie Team as he scored 29 goals and added 47 assists for 76 points. The Owen Sound, Ontario, product was named to the NLL AllPro Second Team in both 2014 and 2015, and through 75 career regular-season games, he has registered 194 goals and 180 assists for 374 points. He has twice scored seven goals in a game including one against the Rush in 2014. Prior to turning pro, Jones won two Minto Cup championships with Orangeville (Ontario) and was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player in 2009. He was also named Tournament MVP at the 2008 World U-19 Field Lacrosse Championship.
Jones went on to play in the NCAA for Canisius College and earned AllAmerican honours in his freshman season. The potential of a Matthews and Jones combo for the new season is huge. This tandem should ensure the Rush are once more a serious threat to top the league. I can hardly wait until January for the NLL season to begin. Now let me get to at least one sport I would love to see on television; Kronum. Most of my readers will not have heard of the sport, but it is one which deserves far more recognition. Kronum was invented in 2008 by Bill Gibson in Villanova, PA, so it is very much a fledgling creation. That alone means it will not be widely known. I would suspect most sports take decades to go from creation to widespread popularity. In the sport’s creation
Gibson included elements of different sports which are recognizable in the gameplay; soccer, basketball and handball. Handball is clearly at the heart of Kronum, but in creating the new sport, Gibson modernized things. He created a modern game, with a freer flow of action. To begin with the Kronum field is round. The circular play area (150-foot diameter) is broken into four quadrants containing zones and lines that dictate ball handling, scoring and what you can do on the field. The field consists of three concentric circles. On the outer circle are the four Kronum goals which are shared by the two teams. The sharing of the goal areas is what makes Kronum so dynamic. When a team has possession of the ball, the defending team has four goals to defend. On a turnover the players switch, changing who is in goal. The ebb and flow of the changing face of play is the greatest aspect of Kronum. In front of every goal is a round Goal Zone and a rectilinear Wedge Zone. Bordering the Wedge Zone is the Flex
Zone. The only difference between the two zones is that the use of hands in the Wedge Zone is restricted. Then is the Range, having the shape of a cross. In the middle of the field there is a ring called the Prime Ring, and inside that, the Pivot. The second aspect of Kronum that I greatly appreciate is that there are varying score options, depending largely on two things, where on the floor the shot was taken, and what part of the goal it enters. As a result some goals are with a single point, others two, four, six and even eight points. The dynamic scoring means major comebacks are possible, and scoring is steady, think basketball. The newness of the round court, rotating offence/defence in terms of goaltending, and variable options when it comes to scoring make Kronum modern and exciting. I can only hope that the game catches on. There have been regional ‘pro’ games out of Philadelphia, so search them out on www. YouTube.com. It is well worth a look to find a sport perfect for the future.

Changes coming for cottage wineries and micro distilleries The Government of Saskatchewan is creating business opportunities for Saskatchewan wine and spirit manufacturers by eliminating regulatory barriers to growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our local craft alcohol industry has grown from one cottage winery in 2001 to eight cottage wineries and eight microdistilleries today with more to come,â&#x20AC;? Minister responsible for the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Jeremy Harrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consumers are recognizing the quality of Saskatchewan-made wine and spirits and these changes will help ensure that this industry continues to grow and create economic opportunities throughout the province.â&#x20AC;? The changes include immediately increasing production thresholds for all craft manufacturers in the province and introducing a graduated markup structure based on annual production. A number of regulatory barriers are also being reduced, including

allowing craft manufacturers the ability to direct deliver their products to Saskatchewan retailers.
Black Fox Farm & Distillery is one of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest microdistilleries. The Saskatoon-area business started producing in September 2015 and is already winning international awards for its unique, hand-crafted spirits and liqueurs.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an exciting time to be a craft alcohol producer in Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? Black Fox co-owner John CotĂŠ said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing the government take steps in continuing to improve policy for entrepreneurs in this fledging sector is very important. The craft wine and spirits producers are all unique in the types and quality of products they produce, but they all need to have an opportunity to succeed. These changes are a step in the right direction in allowing that to happen.â&#x20AC;?
Changes related to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craft beer industry are expected later this fall.

Remodel for maximum dollars DebSchmidt_3x109.j29_R0011167729.indd YNR sept29/16 •dianem penny proof Email to penny@yorktonnews.com
As a contractor and real estate expert, I am often asked by homeowners for advice on the best projects for their remodeling dollars. While it’s important to first consider the purpose of the remodel (is it for yourself, for resale, or as part of an incomegenerating suite?), there are some remodels that have proven to be reliable investments over time. Some of these include: Kitchens and bathrooms. Remodels here top the list. High-end finishes, like marble and quartz countertops and stainless steel or commercial grade appliances, are greatly coveted. Clever storage is desirable, along with home automation –– a new and growing trend. Bathrooms. This one
is simple. The hottest bathrooms right now aim to replicate a spalike experience. From color and accessories to scents and lighting, transforming this room into a relaxation haven will maximize its appeal. Basements. Basement remodels are among the best ways to gain space without going the route of a costly addition, but the key is doing it right. Address moisture issues first, and hire professionals for plumbing, electrical and mechanical work. Insulate with a water-repellant insulation made from inorganic materials to improve energy efficiency, and then focus on the finishes. Insulation. Installing, topping up or replacing insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways
to increase energy efficiency and save money over the life of your home. For exterior walls, basements headers, cathedral ceilings, and attics, I recommend a product called Roxul Comfortbatt stone wool insulation for exceptional thermal performance. For interior walls and between floors, I’m a big fan of Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound for its excellent sound dampening qualities. Both products are fire resistant up to 2,150°F, resistant to mold and mildew, and Greenguard-certified to the highest level for air quality. Smaller fixes. Know that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to realize a good return. Can’t afford a full-out kitchen or bathroom remodel? Consider
painting walls and cabinets, replacing outdated hardware or fixtures and installing new lighting for an impactful refresh. When it comes to living spaces, it’s amazing what a splash of color, some new flooring, carefully selected
accessories and strategic lighting can do for the look and feel of a room. Save a little extra by doing it yourself. With a positive attitude and some elbow grease, you can make a big difference with projects that require low to moderate
know-how. Scott McGillivray is the award-winning TV host of the hit series “Income Property” on DIY Network, a fulltime real estate investor, contractor, author, and educator. Follow him on Twitter @smcgillivray.

BULBS
Continued from page A7 For longer bloom, keep the pot out of direct sunlight and away from radiators and heaters. The cooler the temperature, the longer lasting the bloom. Not all tulip, daffodil/ narcissus, hyacinth and crocus cultivars are suitable for forcing. Forcing bulbs are usually marked as such in your local garden centres and mail-order catalogues. The following are easily forced. There are many others.
