Getting people to talk about HIV or AIDS in the province is a challenge, even though the province has a rate of infection high-er than the national aver-age. A new exhibition at the Community Partners Gallery, Photo Voice, is about raising awareness about HIV can mean in someone’s life.

Rebecca Genovy with 601 Outreach and Deanna Bartok HIV Strategy Coordinator with the Sunrise Health Region say that they want to engage people to explore the issues surrounding HIV among people.

Participants were given cameras, and told to go out and take pictures that could express their experi-ences living with HIV or having someone close to them with HIV. The end result depicts a wide range of emotion, from people hopeful about their life and future to those who have lost someone who they cared about. Genovy says that was the goal, because

they wanted to depict a full picture of what living with HIV can mean.

“We were happy that the images did reflect the spectrum of experiences and emotions, and does really communicate that there is hope for people with HIV, and in the past it has been quite bleak, and that’s reflected in some of the photographs, but with treatment and support there really is hope and life for those living with HIV,” Genovy says.

Saskatchewan, and rural Saskatchewan in par-ticular, is a place to focus awareness efforts says Bartok, because Saskatchewan has the highest rate of HIV infec-tion in the country, one and a half times the national rate.

“We don’t think it’s here, we don’t think anybody is living with HIV, but there are certainly folks that are. They are very isolated and it’s important for those individuals to have a voice and share their life.”

Sharing their life also means sharing the chal-lenges that come with get-

ting diagnosed with HIV in a rural areas, with some photos discussing the isola-tion some of the partici-pants feel.

“It certainly is different than living in an urban centre. There are a lot

more resources and a lot more support, people seem more open to discuss HIV. In rural and remote, there are a lot more barriers,” Bartok says.

The goal of Photo Voice is to get people talking

about HIV in the area, because a lack of aware-ness is one of the biggest problems.

“We don’t talk about it and that’s the problem, that leads to fear and stig-ma in the community. The more we provoke people with our ideas and thoughts it will certainly go a long way towards breaking down those barri-ers for people,” Bartok says.

Getting people to talk about it is another reason for going with an art proj-ect, because it allows for a more indirect approach, Bartok says.

“It’s a more indirect way to get a message out and educate, as opposed to directly talking about it. Presentations in the com-munity are sometimes not well attended because peo-

ple think “it doesn’t affect me, how does it affect me?” But in reality it all affects us, and there are so many people who are living with HIV across Canada and don’t even know it, twenty five per cent of the popula-tion are unaware because they’re not getting tested... When you do something that’s not direct presenta-tions, it certainly does edu-cate.”

Genovy believes that it’s also a way keep the focus on the way people are affected, rather than the medical reality that HIV represents.

“It turns the attention away from a virus and back to a person, and humanizes it.”

Photo Voice will be run-ning at the Community Partners Gallery untilApril 30.

The Paper Bag Players are getting ready for spring, and they’re doing it in the only way that makes sense for a theatre group – performing a play. The group is in the midst of rehearsing their next pro-duction now.

“Hold, Please” by Annie Wiesman is a two act play about the life, work and troubles of a group of four secretaries in the early 2000s explains director

Whitney Treasure.“They all gather and

chat about their lives, and situations at work they can’t control or are control-ling.”

Part of the reason they went with the play is because they wanted a female-lead play to fit with strong cast of performers that wanted to take on a role. There are familiar faces on stage, with Amber Matechuk, Pam Milani, Teresa Weber and Leanne Keys as the main cast, who have performed in Paper

Bag Players productions in the past.

“I think the roles we’ve picked for them suit them very well.”

While this is the first time Treasure has direct-ed for the group, she has done other things in the past, including doing their lighting – which she is doing for this performance as well. She says that with the group it’s easy to direct, since the cast and crew all know each other well and everyone has years of experience on and

off stage, including direct-ing plays themselves.

“If I ever have troubles, or they think they see something else, they let me know, and it’s great.”

The group will take the play to Saskatchewan TheatreFest, performing on April 22. Paper Bag Players have had good luck at the festival before – Weber took home best actress in 2015 and their play took home best entry. They are among six groups performing that week for the festival.

Local audiences will get the chance to see the group in action at their spring Ladies’ Night fund-raiser on April 29 at St. Gerard’s Parish. The eve-ning will feature the play itself, supper, and a caba-ret with music by the Jayhawks, as well as ven-dor tables.

“It’s a whole night of just fun.”

The choice to make it a Ladies Night came from

the play itself. The group thought that it would be the perfect tie-in to A d m i n i s t r a t i v e Professionals Day, at the end of April, making a play about secretaries a

natural fit, Treasure says.Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

and showtime is at 8:00p.m. Tickets are $30 or $225 for a table of eight,and available by calling(306)620-3833.

Program aims to getnew people into parksBy DEVIN WILGERN-R Writer

When people arrive in Saskatchewan, they might not know about what they can do in the province, and what the local parks have to offer. A program by Saskatchewan Parks aims to fix that, by offer-ing camping courses to people who have not been able to enjoy the parks here before.

Jennifer Bayer, Parks Program Coordinator for the Ministry of Parks, Recreation and Sport, says that it is a way to get people more aware of the camping experience in the province.

“It’s just promoting camping and back to the basics. It’s sleeping in tents, it’s cooking over the fire... Teaching people how to camp and the fun things to do while you are camping.”

While new to Saskatchewan, similar programs have been available in other places. The Saskatchewan pro-gram is based around one in Ontario, with a few adaptations for Saskatchewan, Bayer explains.

The ultimate goal is to get new people into camp-sites. That could mean newcomers, new

Canadians or even just urban Canadians who have not gone into the outdoors before. The intent is to take the intimidation out of the outdoors and make peo-ple more comfortable with the camping experi-ence.

“You have somebody there who can help you start a fire, learn how to use some of the equip-ment, set up a tent, that kind of thing.”

The ultimate goal of

the program is to get peo-ple into the parks so they learn the value of them and what they can do to help protect them, explains Bayer.

“We need to educate people so they know what we have so they can pro-tect it in the future.”

The program is avail-able at Echo Valley, Pike Lake and locally at Good Spirit Lake. Information can be found by visiting w w w. s a s k p a r k s . n e t /learntocamp.

The Newcomers Network is a group formed to get information out to people and groups who wish to sponsor refugees in Yorkton. At their most recent meeting, Klaus Gruber, a longtime volun-teer for the Anglican dio-cese in Saskatoon, spoke about the experience of sponsoring refugees to the assembled group.

Part of the message is that the refugees are the most vulnerable people,

which is why a resettle-ment country like Canada is important, because this country represents a place where there is a future.

“Many of them have left conflicts that have their destroyed their homes and their futures. Many of them have faced torture, trauma of various kinds and losses. People who are desperate and completely vulnerable because they are on the move, going to refugee camps or hiding out in cities or other coun-tries, trying to find some way to get to some place

where they have a solu-tion, which means some place to go where they have a future.”

Canada is unique in a few ways. It’s one of the few countries in the world open to resettlement, and the only one that allows for sponsorship from private individuals, such as the Anglican Diocese where Gruber works with differ-ent families.

The current Canadian government is more open to refugees than the previ-ous one, which has meant that the long wait between application has become shorter, but Gruber says that with the recent push for 25,000 Syrian refugees presented a challenge of its own.

“They were coming almost too quickly, we had one sponsorship where we submitted an application and the refugees were to arrive ten days later... That’s almost too fast, to get an apartment, furnish it, get organized and so on. Once they achieved the 25,000, they backed off and things are back to maybe not quite normal, because this government is committed to more arriv-als, but there is still a lot of waiting.”

While there is often dif-ficulty keeping groups together and enthusiastic given all the waiting involved, Gruber says that sponsor groups want to

bring people over for a future in Canada.

“There is so much good will towards refugees right now, people wanting to sponsor across Canada. There are detractors, there are naysayers, but the demand by sponsors to have people to sponsor is really high right now.”

Rural cities like Yorkton are taking in more refu-gees, and this is something Gruber has seen around the smaller communities in the province. He says that examples like Biggar have seen refugee families enrich the communities.

The first refugee family has also landed in Yorkton. Chelsea Grunert with St. Andrews United Church in Yorkton is part of the team that is sponsoring the small family, a single mother and her daughter from Eretria. The family is settling in well, Grunert says, with the mother hav-ing a job as well as doing volunteer work at the Family Resource Centre and at St. Andrews. The young girl is in school already as well, and Grunert says she is already picking up English and fit-ting in with her class-mates.

This is a first for St. Andrews, and Grunert believes it’s the only church currently sponsor-ing a refugee family. She wants to encourage other groups to sponsor refugees

to come to the city, and says that their family already wants to help with the effort.

“I know that the mother of our family, she would love it if other groups would sponsor groups from Eretria, and she has told me she would be happy to help in any way possible if refugees come to Yorkton.”

She recommends that if someone does sponsor a family, they do so as a group, because of the amount of time and effort it takes to get a family adjusted to life in Canada.

“It’s a lot of time, ener-gy and it’s a huge emo-tional commitment as well.”

Gruber says that this family is an example of why they sponsor refugee families, as the kids are the ones who see the great-est benefit from living in a place with security and hope for the future.

“It doesn’t take long for children to get settled and adapt, it’s sometimes hard-er for the parents... Many parents I know say we’re not going to benefit from

this, but our kids will.”St. Andrews is running

a garage sale at SIGN on Broadway on April 29 and30 to fundraise for the family. Grunert says if peo-ple have items or time todonate, they would greatly appreciate it. She also wants people to contact her or Jen Dresser at St. Andrews United Church ifthey have questions about sponsorship or want to get involved in supporting their family.

The Saskatchewan Bed and Breakfast Association gathered in Yorkton at Patrick Place to discuss issues that are relevant to their business and honor the best in the province.

Cathy Currey, chair of the Saskatchewan Bed and Breakfast Association, says that one of the big concerns in 2016 is the site AirBnB. It’s not the site itself, which Currey says can be a great tool for oper-ators, but instead it’s peo-ple who are on the website and not meeting the regu-lations that members of the Saskatchewan Bed and Breakfast Association are required to meet in order to run their busi-ness.

“It’s the people who are operating on AirBnB who are not licensed, so they’re avoiding local licensing regulations and permit-ting processes. They have not been inspected for safety or food handling, which all of our operators proudly present to show they are operating good, clean facilities that are good experiences for trav-ellers of any type, and we

pay taxes. Our concern is those operators who are doing business under-ground, we don’t know if they meet health and safe-ty requirements, fire requirements, and the other issue is that they are not remitting to the gov-ernment the taxes that they are legally obligated to do.”

The issue is one of fair-ness, Currey argues, given that they want to have a level playing field with everyone on equal footing for regulations. But she says it’s also a matter of making sure people aren’t turned off the B&B experi-ence thanks to people who aren’t meeting the neces-sary standards like they are. They also want every-one to pay PST, not merely because they do, but because the tax benefits the communities in which they operate.

“These are legitimate businesses around the province which add value to all the communities in which they operate. We also have guests who are spending money in our communities and sharing it around. We think it’s important for people to know that value is being

turned around in the com-munity and that’s good for all of us.”

The meeting was about more than discussing the things that are affecting the industry, but also pro-moting each other. Currey says that one of the spin-offs of the meeting for guests is they can promote other operations as people travel around the prov-ince, and it’s a benefit for people to know the next stop on their journey will be a good one.

“I don’t give referrals to places where I haven’t met the operators. I know that the operators I’ve met, I’m very proud and happy to say that you will have a good experience here, this is a place that I recom-mend. People are shep-herded along in good hands so they have good experiences.”

Patrick Place takes second place.

The host of the event also had good news, as they had made second place in the association’s Top Ten Bed and Breakfasts for 2015. Patrick Place is no strang-er to the list, making the

top ten in 2012, 2013 and 2014, but this is their best placing yet.

Shirley Billay, owner of the Patrick Place, says that it’s the guests that make the award happen. The awards are based on evaluation cards sent in by guests who stay at B&Bs through the prov-ince. She says that she tries to make it the best

experience possible, whether that means accommodating guests that arrive at difficult hours, making sure they always have food and water when they arrive, or highlighting local din-ing options for them.

“I think that’s what gets people coming back, because I am accommo-dating to what their needs

are.Billay has always

wanted to own and oper-ate a B&B, and says that she has had a lot of funover the five years of operation of Patrick Placein the city.

“I love the Patrick Place... The history is here, and it should be kept in this home for Yorkton.”

A tribute to the pioneers

Had it not been for the annual Spring Expo at Gallagher Centre, signs of spring might have been scarce over this past weekend, although, to be fair, April has been more or less seasonal. The winter we had may have spoiled us a tad.

Even in the worst of winters we have very little to complain about with our efficiently heated and insulated homes, our reliable vehi-cles, our boundless food supply and our pleth-ora of entertainment options.

In fact, we are so spoiled, just in general terms, it is easy to forget that little more than 100 years ago, life on the prairie was a battle for survival. The subheading on the Spring Expo posters, “Home Garden & Leisure,” hints at how things have changed for the easier.

For homesteaders, leisure was limited. One pioneer describes in Barry Broadfoot’s book The pioneer years 1895–1914: Memories of settlers who opened the west how the big event of the year was a summer picnic.

“Everybody went to those picnics for miles around, and everybody wore their very best. Everybody had pride of appearance and it didn’t matter how poor you were, whether you only had a dirt floor in your house, you went to the picnics in your finer.

“This is where the young girls met the young men. The girls wore long white dresses and bows in their hair, and their hair was done up in the latest fashion. We had the magazines from the city, of course, and we knew the latest fashions. The boys all dressed up too.

“There were games, baseball, and a lot of tennis. More houses than you would think had a tennis court laid out. Tennis was a big thing in the early 1900’s. I was pretty good at hitting a tennis ball myself.

“There was always a big feed. Maybe they’d just spread everything out, the sandwiches and the pies, and the cookies, the lemonade and the iced tea, and everybody helped them-selves. You all brought your own plates and cutlery.

“Then when the picnic was over, everybody would pack up and go home.

To the chores. Over those trails, over the hill and dale, back to our farms. We were slaves to our horses and cows. A farmer always is.”

At this time of year, as we contemplate the myriad leisure activities of spring and sum-mer ahead, homesteaders would have been facing a very different reality.

From the diary of H.F. Copeland from the Maidstone area (Saskatchewan Archives):

“We had droughts and early frosts, until more land was taken up and broken. I had two oxen and a bull on a [14 foot] prairie breaker and I could break one acre [per day]. A day was 10 hours from 3 a.m. until 9 a.m. and 5-9 p.m. so the oxen rested in the heat of the day.

“If you broke for someone else you got $3 per acre and 75 cents for discing. I used to take these oxen threshing from daylight till dark for $2.50 per day. You had to load your own load and pitch it off yourself and keep your turn into the machine. This was how we made our winter stake.

“In those days it was up to you to get enough supplies for the winter, there was no one to help you, no welfare or [community] chests, we were on our own. Sometimes the eats got slim towards spring but we stuck it out. There were no radios or television, even a gramophone was only for the wealthy.

“We were a healthy bunch and the doctors that used to come, didn’t stay long. We had some cold winters and remember one 45-below for six weeks and a wind. The wind seemed to blow all the time.

“We had some good times in those days, even if we did only have oxen to travel to town with, we didn’t have to fill with gas before we started, they made their own.”

As spring takes hold, it is as good a time as any to count our many blessings and pay trib-ute to those forebears who came to a harsh land and conquered a hardscrabble existence so that we may enjoy our current luxurious lifestyle.

The drive-in movie theatre is not necessarily dead, but it’s certainly not quite alive either. There are some scattered around – including in Saskatchewan – but they have been increasingly rare. The only drive-in I’ve ever been to is now a bus parking lot, though I also know of one that’s an overgrown empty lot. They stopped being popular, or at least they stopped being popular enough to justify the amount of real estate required to operate one.

There is a man in Saskatoon who believes they are prime for a revival. He’s 91 year-old Duffy Besenski, and he also operated both the bus parking lot and over-grown empty lot, so he has ties to the industry. He believes they’re prime for a revival and wants to get out of retirement and build a new one in Saskatoon. I find myself hoping that he manages it, while admitting it’s a tricky proposition.

A drive-in is going to be a niche market proposi-tion, but I do think they can succeed provided that there are not very many out there. The rarity of a drive-in is part of the reason why you would want to go to one in 2016. They’re an experience you can’t really get anywhere else, and if you have to make a trek out to Wolseley to get it – as you can do this summer at the Twilite Drive-In – then that further pushes that niche appeal. It turns the movies into an event, because it’s part of a larger road trip to get entertainment. Whatever the appeal of the drive-in was back in the day, the appeal now is that it’s a rare thing, you’ve got to go out of your way to have that experience.

Of course, one could have many theories as to why drive-in theatres mostly died. Some could argue that regular theatres had better sound qual-ity, others that the lack of bench seats in modern cars meant that some of the more intimate aspects of the drive-in experience were lost. Given the nature of the medium, they are hard to make profit-able, since a drive-in can’t screen movies all day while regular theatres don’t have that limitation. Plus, the expense of keeping up with modern stan-dards had to hurt. While struggling long before digital came in, that was the death blow for a lot of the smaller operations, the sheer expense of the switch over being impossible to justify – it didn’t help smaller rural theatres either, of course.

The majority of drive-ins dying off has been the savior to the ones that remain in operation, because all of the drive-ins that survived that decline can survive simply by being the only drive-ins. There’s just enough market for them to be viable business-es, because they’re the only places that can provide that experience. If anything, it’s enhanced the expe-rience, because it’s not something you can do every

day, going to the drive-in takes more planning than just going to the movies, and that’s part of the whole experience. You go to the drive-in because it’s some-thing you can’t do every day.

There are some other perks as well. The relative isolation of your own car takes out audience distrac-tions such as the monsters who play with their cell phones in the theatre or have loud conversations. There’s a chance for a cool breeze through the car or the light of the stars through a sunroof, which you can’t get with any regular theatre. If the movie hap-pens to be awful, such as if you made the mistake of watching Batman V Superman, you can turn off the audio and make up your own story.

It also allows for programming opportunities. Given that the drive-in experience is already associ-ated with nostalgia, anyone wanting to set up a program of old movies is going to have a venue that fits the type of film they want to see. If a filmmaker is doing a homage to something classic, they should consider doing an opening at a drive-in, because it’d be a better fit with the type of film they are making. It’s not a great venue for first run movies, because they tend to be expensive and require more admis-sions to justify, but a creative operator could do all sorts of drive-in centric programming that gets people to make the trek to their theatre, and when they’re based in a small town, they could push to make it a tourist draw.

But can a new drive-in actually make it in Saskatchewan? The man in this case has managed to make it work before, but then he did it in a much different time, even if he did it in the same place. The cost of operation has only increased, whether that’s the cost of the land and the associated taxes, the cost of projection equipment or the cost of get-ting movies themselves – digital projection might have fewer moving parts than using film, but it’s not exactly cheaper. It’s also much less novel to go to Saskatoon, even if they have a much bigger popu-lation base than the smaller towns that still have managed to keep the drive-ins alive, which might reduce the novelty of the format, one of the things that keep it going. I don’t know if he will succeed, but for the sake of novelty, I hope he does.

Can a drive-in theatre make it?Things I do

with words...

The annual April Lyrid meteor shower runs from the 16th through 25th this year, with a peak on the morning of the 22nd. I’m mentioning it a little early because the peak date coincides with a Full Moon, so you have a better chance seeing a Lyrid a few days before and a few days after the peak, when the Moon is not washing out the sky as much.

Normal rates for Lyrids are 10-20 meteors an hour on a dark, moonless night; not exciting numbers at the best of times, and this is certainly not one of those times. When the

Moon’s up, sightings are down.

However, there are three reasons one doesn’t just write off this shower for the year: first, they’re fast and bright, entering the atmosphere at 177,000km (100,000 miles) per hour. Secondly, about a quarter of them exhibit ‘persistent trains’, ionized gas trails that glow for a few seconds before fading out. The third reason is that there’s a chance, albeit a small one, that the Earth runs into a particularly thick section of the meteor stream, and we have a

meteor storm; Lyrids have been known to briefly ramp up their numbers to a hundred or more an hour.

Fortunately, you don’t need any special equip-ment to watch a meteor shower; but you do have to spend a little time. Find a

dark, open sky away from artificial lights, sit or lie back in a reclining chair, look upward and let your eyes adjust to the dark. Direction is not important, but Lyrids will appear to originate from near the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra, which

rises in the northeast a little after 8pm CST on April evenings.

Historically, the Lyrid meteor shower is among the oldest of known mete-or showers, with records going back some 2700 years. The Chinese recorded one of the out-bursts in 687 BC when they wrote recorded mete-ors “falling like rain”. The source of the debris the meteors come from is the long period comet C/1861 G1Thatcher, who’s orbit around the Sun takes 415 years to complete (here last in 1861, next in 2276). Once a year, the Earth

plows through the dust it left behind and burns away a portion of it.

Conditions are far from ideal for this shower, butwhile you’re waiting, bright Mercury is makinga nice appearance just above the western horizon each clear night through next week, and on the 17th, the Moon passes lessthan three degrees belowJupiter.

And, of course, there’s the Moon itself in the con-stant parade of objects passing daily above your back yard. All the uni-verse asks for in return isa little of your time.

If you’ve been lost in a forest or stuck on a uninhabited island, you could be unaware of the Panama Papers, a set of explosive documents hacked from Panamanian legal firm Mossack Fonseca.

The documents include details of 214,000 compan-ies legally domiciled in Panama but owned by off-shore entities. While there’s nothing illegal about these secretive companies, many have been used for illegal purposes such as corpor-ate fraud, drug trafficking and/or international tax evasion.

The papers have brought unwelcome attention to many powerful people. They have been particular-ly embarrassing for David Cameron, prime minister of the United Kingdom. After a week of denials, he now says he accepts full respon-sibility for his undisclosed involvement in his fath-er’s tax ‘efficient’ offshore investment fund. Cameron clearly hopes the release of his personal tax records

will put an end to the pol-itical fallout, but tens of thousands are clamouring for his resignation.

Matthew Parris, a for-mer Conservative MP and now respected British jour-nalist, raised the alarm about the Panama Papers in London’s The Times: “Do the rich, the powerful and the famous get it . . . they’d better or the people will put a Marxist in Downing Street.”

How did we get to such a place? What combina-tion of circumstances cre-ated an opportunity for the rich and powerful, assisted by prestigious legal and accounting institutions, to hide assets and avoid pay-ing taxes?

Whatever the circum-stances, it’s no longer a secret. The public has become increasingly aware that over the past few dec-ades, the playing field has tilted strongly in favour of corporations and the rich.

Globalization didn’t start out this way and it wasn’t supposed to end

this badly. After the Second World War, breaking down trade barriers and encour-aging the free movement of capital were encouraged. The logic in those days was “a rising tide lifts all boats” - encouraging globalization would help maintain the peace and elevate the gen-eral prosperity of all.

It was not supposed to be a giveaway for rich indi-viduals or an invitation for major corporations to game the system. But that’s exactly what happened.

The question is why?The answer is simple:

an alien ideology buried within a radical new school of economics called monet-arism first enthralled and then captured the powerful Western elite.

And what were these new ideas?

They originated with cynical Russian immigrant Ayn Rand, who is famous for putting forth the prop-osition that “society doesn’t exist . . . that nations are simply collections of indi-viduals who have no moral

responsibility toward one another.” More importantly for Rand, governments are the source of all our prob-lems. Governments are always bad and oppressive, while corporations are at all times good and benevo-lent.

This logic created the climate for rich individuals to do whatever was neces-sary to avoid paying taxes. After all, we’re just individ-uals maximizing our own best interests. And why feed the beast of govern-ment if it’s the enemy of freedom?

This set of ideas also equated general prosper-ity with corporate profits, despite the fact that major corporations were hol-lowing out the developed economies by sending production to ‘friendlier’ regimes in Asia, where there are no labour laws, trade unions or environ-mental regulations to deal with.

You might have noticed that as globalization developed in the 1990s, the

West (which we used to think of as the free world) stopped defining itself in terms of human rights. The criticism of China, for instance, used to focus on the Community Party’s oppression and its abuses of human rights.

But now that major Western corporations are profiting from those abus-es, well . . . we rarely men-tion them.

Meanwhile, as global productivity continues to increase, the middle classes are losing ground. Their sons and daughters are facing a world where house prices make home ownership a risky form of debt slavery and where their children’s chances of good jobs and financial independence are fading fast.

Do the rich “get it?” They’d better, and soon.

American presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are riding a growing wave of populist anger that could change things dramatic-

ally. What was a perfectly legal tax strategy could soon position you as a tax dodging enemy of the people.

Society matters and so do our foundational ideas. At the moment, our social system is governed by a set of dangerously anti-social ideas. When these ideas change - and they could change suddenly - docile Western elites could soon learn the realities of moral responsibility, the hard way.

Various components go into creating beautiful, lush lawns. Lawn maintenance involves ensuring lawns have all of the nutrients they need to thrive. Fertilizer is essential when feeding lawns, but fertilizing a lawn involves more than spread-ing fertilizer around the yard and hoping for the best. Fertilizing is a process that should be done carefully and timed correctly for optimal results.

According to Scotts®, a premier lawn seed and care company, no two lawns are alike and each lawn has dif-ferent needs. The type of grass and whether a lawn is mostly in the sun or shade may dictate fertilizer requirements. While many lawns are comprised of sev-eral different grasses, a gen-

eral rule of thumb is that the lawn will need to be fertil-ized in the spring at the very least. After that, fertilization schedules should be custom-ized according to grass type, climate and other factors.

Spring is a prime time to fertilize because the lawn is reviving after a long season of cold weather and dorman-cy. Come spring, lawns need to be fed to turn green and grow. Soil supplies some of the nutrients grass needs, but many soils lack elements that lawns need to survive the growing season. Lawn and garden experts at Lowes say a healthy and actively growing lawn uses a great deal of energy, and fertilizer will provide the boost it requires. Fertilizer helps promote new root and leaf growth, aid in recovery from

damage, reduce weeds, and replace nutrients lost to water runoff.Fertilizing the right way

Follow these steps to feed the lawn and help it thrive.

• Identify the type of grass in your lawn and con-sult with a garden center to find the right type of fertil-izer for your grass. Many grasses are categorized by season and may be referred to as cool season, transition-al or warm season grasses.

• Test the soil to check for pH. You want the soil to be as close to neutral as possi-ble so it can readily process the nutrients in the fertiliz-er.

• Broadcast or rotary spreaders will evenly dis-tribute fertilizer and will not cause striping on the lawn like drop spreaders might.

Resist the urge to fertilize by hand, as you may lay an uneven amount of product, producing burns and brown spots.

• Fertilizers come in slow-release, fast-release, and weed and feed formula-tions. Which fertilizer you use will depend on the type of grass you have and how much time you have to devote to lawn maintenance. Slow-release fertilizers may be preferable because they do not need to be reapplied often.

• Use caution and set the spreader to distribute less product if you are unsure how much to apply. Excessive fertilizer can damage a lawn.

• Water the lawn well after application, and always follow the fertilizer

manufacturer’s instruc-tions.

• Keep people and pets off of the lawn for a day or two after application.

• Scotts recommends that lawns with warm-sea-son grass be fed over the summer as they grow steadily from spring to fall.

• Another application of fertilizer in the fall will sup-ply lawns with nutrients to continue to grow and then survive winter.

Build a strong lawn by feeding it effectively. Dense, healthy lawns can strangle weeds and lead to beautiful landscapes.

How and when to fertilize your lawn

Many homeowners feel pools or spas are must-have features as they attempt to turn their homes in their own personal oases. The decision to get a pool or a hot tub is not one to take lightly. Significant purchases, pools and/or spas can affect the value of a home and also require various safety modifications. Taking a thoughtful approach when considering adding pools and/or spas to their homes can help homeowners rest easy knowing they made the right decision.

• Do your research first. When making any decision, it’s best to be well-informed. Read reviews on products and find out the base prices of certain pool models so you’ll have a sys-

tem of comparison. Choose the type and size of pool you want. Other factors, such as the mate-rial used in the pool (i.e., con-crete, metal, fiberglass, or vinyl) and filtration methods, also can affect the price, so consider each of these factors carefully before making your decision.

• Determine why you want a pool or spa. The type of pool or spa you ultimately choose should depend on how you plan to use the pool. If you want a pool mainly for family enter-tainment, then you may want to add mood lighting or special landscaping features. If you simply want something in which you can cool off, a basic model may be most practical. If your spa is intended for thera-

peutic purposes, look for ones with multipositional water jets or other specialized features. Don’t fall into the trap that a large pool with a deep diving area is best. Young children and many adults do not fre-quently use the deep end, and you may end up with wasted pool space.

• Find a good time to buy. Fall and winter are some of the best times to get deals on pool and spa equipment because it’s no longer prime swimming sea-son. However, there are deals to be had come early spring as well. Retailers may deeply dis-count last year’s models to make room for new inventory. You always can negotiate if the price is just a bit beyond your

reach. Retailers may be moti-vated to make sales in the off-season, so try to use that moti-vation to your advantage.

• Recognize there will be extra costs. Some retailers sell pools and spas but do not arrange for installation. Realize that an inground pool will require excavation, and your yard may need to be regraded to allow for rain run-off. Electricians and landscapers are some additional costs to factor in. Make sure you under-stand the bigger picture and account for the total cost of modifying the yard.

• Inquire about insurance. Speak with the pool installer about any liability and compen-sation insurance they may

carry to protect you in the eventof an accident during the instal-lation of the pool. Reputablebuilders should be fully insured.

• Learn about zoning laws and other ordinances. Rules regarding pool placement and size will vary depending on local laws. Always consult withthe town’s municipal office andget the proper permits. Otherwise, you may face fines and be forced to spend more tofix problems that need to beaddressed.

Pools can be entertaining additions to a home. When con-sidering the addition of a poolto their properties, homeown-ers should take their time and make sure it’s the right deci-sion for them.

Old Man Winter & Mother Nature haven’t figured out that we are supposed to be having

SPRING weather. Good Spirit Acres received their biggest dump of snow near the end of March! Come on..we want April showers!!

The Good Spirit Hamlet Spring Information meeting will be a little earlier this year. We have set the date for Sunday, April 24 at 2:30 p.m at the golf resort hall.

The meeting will begin with the Annual General meeting for the Community Association followed immediately by the Hamlet meeting. The Association is in dire need of volunteers to be on the board. At present, Lynn

MacDonald is the presi-dent, Charm Johnson is vice-pres. & Kellyanne Ostafie is sec-treasurer. Extra volunteers are always appreciated for specific functions, and thanks to all who help each time. The CA orga-nizes social gatherings throughout the year...such as pot luck meals, the Christmas supper, St. Patrick’s Day, etc. Its fun for the communi-ty residents to get together to keep in touch.

The St. Patrick’s Day supper was well attend-ed. The Mulligan Stew was great, & the dona-tions for the silent auc-tion were much appreci-ated. Thanks to all who attended, & made this a worthwhile event. Kellyanne donated the

door prize that was won by Fern Sherwood.

Their next event will be the Pancake Breakfast which is scheduled for June 5th at the camp kitchen in Spilchen Meadows.

The Hamlet meeting will have a review of the

final financial report for 2015 and then the pre-sentation of the pro-posed budget for 2016 that will have a small increase in the Mill rate.

There will discussions on the continuing pro-cess of moving water safely through the com-munity and continuing projects to improve the

removal of stagnant water out of lower areas.

Discussion will also take place as to the Hamlet’s relationship with the Golf Resort and a potential flat tax levy.

The agenda will also include spraying for for-est tent caterpillars and the areas to be sprayed.

A formal agenda will be forwarded to all resi-dents that will include a copy of the new building code, which requires a building permit for all projects in the Hamlet.

Since the RM changed the length of Board member terms from three years to four years it means that every fourth year we will not require an election, therefore, there will be no election this year.

The Hamlet Board looks forward to meeting

with residents who are encouraged to provide input and direction forthe Board.

John Neufeld reports that the RM operatorshave had a hard time keeping the grid roads passible with all the snow & slush. Hopefully weather & roads will soon improve!!

Thanks to Brad & Chris for all your workat the skating rink thiswinter, & also to KevinColeridge for maintain-ing the cross-country ski trails.

Good Spirit Market hours are Sun to Thurs. 9AM to 6PM, and Friday & Sat. 9AM to 7PM. They are looking for-ward to warm weatherand seeing everyone thissummer.

Happiness is conta-gious...spread it around!!

Pancake breakfast planned for Sunday, June 5

If you’re looking for dependability and dur-ability, and you have lim-ited water or you’re look-ing to cut your water bill, here is a sampler of the more than one hundred drought-tolerant peren-nials that you can count on in the prairies.

European Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla vul-garis) is closely related to our native prairie cro-cus (P. patens). Just as prairie dwellers ritualis-tically seek out the prai-rie crocus each spring to assure themselves that winter is indeed over, so do plant lovers in Europe go trooping after the pasque flower with simi-lar hopes. One of the ear-liest spring flowers, the European species has lar-ger flowers with brighter, more intense colours than the prairie crocus. More importantly, it is much better adapted to a cul-tivated garden environ-ment. Large fuzzy buds precede the purple, red, pink or white flowers, which in turn are followed by attractive, silky seed

heads. The low plants are ideal for rock gardens or the front of the border with a height and spread of 6 x 8 in. The foliage is attractive and very finely cut. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil.

Peonies (Paeonia spp.) have graced Saskatchewan gardens since before the WWI. As a testament to their durability, they can still be found blooming in long abandoned farm-steads where no one has tended to them in dec-ades. Most garden peon-ies are hybrids of the Chinese peony (P. lacti-flora), native to Siberia and northern China. It flowers in late spring with white, yellow, pink, red or purple blooms in sin-gle to fully double forms. Plants range from 2 to 3 ft. in height and spread with bright green, glossy foliage. The single forms are lovely in their sim-plicity; the flowers weigh less than double forms meaning that plants have no need for support-ive hoops. Plant them in

deep, well-drained soil in full sun. Ensure that the buds on root divisions of newly acquired plants are planted no deeper than 2 in. below the soil surface. Deeper planting will delay flowering. Once estab-lished, they are extremely drought-tolerant.

Coral Bells (Heuchera spp.) produce a myriad of tiny pink bells held on wiry stalks above a ros-ette of dark green scal-loped leaves that turns bronze in winter. With the deluge of newer introduc-tions featuring purple or variegated foliage, some of the hardiest, toughest and best of the older cul-tivars are unfortunately no longer widely avail-able. These were bred and introduced by Dr. Henry Marshall during his prolific career at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Morden Research and Development Centre. He crossed the bright red but tender H. sanguinea with our native H. rich-ardsonii, a tough plant with non-descript green-ish flowers. The result?

Three excellent culti-vars that bloom for over four weeks and live for over 30 years: ‘Brandon Pink’ (coral pink), ‘Ruby Mist’ (reddish pink) and ‘Northern Fire’ (dark scar-let red). All are about 20 in. tall and bloom in June and July.

Giant white fleeceflower (Persicaria polymorpha) is truly a giant of a perennial, grow-ing to a height of 6 ft. or more. In spite of its enor-mous size, it is clump-forming rather than inva-sive. It looks like a large shrub and its large white flowers are reminiscent of a Japanese tree lilac. It begins blooming in July and continues through to the end of August. Place in full sun. It is adaptable to various soils. Use at the back of a border or as a specimen plant.

THE NEWS REVIEW - Thursday, April 14, 2016 - Page 11A

Saskatoon, and in fact many across the entire province of Saskatchewan, are developing a love affair with box lacrosse.

Or, at least a love affair with the Saskatchewan Rush.

While I count myself a fan of the game, and the National Lacrosse League, for a number of years, to the point I’d just as soon watch box lacrosse as any pro sport, I can’t say I was con-vinced the Rush would find immediate support upon their move from Edmonton.

Lacrosse has never been a huge participatory sport in Saskatchewan, although there is an active provincial associa-tion. Yorkton is sort of a model of the reality of the sport in the province. The Junior Bulldogs was a highly entertaining team when it launched a number of years ago. With Junior Terrier hock-ey players Jason Beatty and Justin Keller bring-ing some fans with them, the team found fans, and some success.

But, the support just didn’t quite hold.

With the Rush, I hoped the sport could find fans, but expected that would take some time, and by time I thought a few sea-sons.

The home opener had just over 9,000 fans, myself included, and I hoped that such a num-ber would hold. That’s the thing about something new, people show up to take a look, but the ques-tion is, were they enter-tained enough to become regular fans?

Well Saturday the Rush hosted Calgary and the game was a sell-out, just shy of 15,000 fans.

It has been a steady increase along the way, and while in Saskatoon Saturday you could feel the interest, from the waitress at Montana’s saying how she wished she was going, to meeting others in the city wearing Rush jerseys, to the gas station clerk wishing us a fun time at the game.

People know about the Rush and they’re excited about it.

Of course it helps the Rush are defending NLL champs, and they are playing like it. The win

Saturday over Calgary, 11-9, kept the Rush in a first place tie with Colorado, both having 10-4 records. The win also assures the Rush at least one home playoff game, and I’d bet on that being a sell-out.

The Rush have four games left in the regu-lar season, only one at home April 16 in the second of a back-to-back set with the afore-mentioned Mammoth, so first place and home advantage through to the finals remain a very real possibility, and you can expect the fan support to be there throughout.

As for the game against Calgary, the Rush stumbled in the second half offensively, but held on to win.

Thankfully the Saskatchewan defence, and in particular goal-tender Aaron Bold held off the Roughneck come-back.

Of course Rush fans expect the man the arena announcer calls ‘Stone Cold’ to come up with big saves.

Bold, was born in Victoria, and turns 31 later this month. He was drafted in the third round (29th overall) in the 2005 National Lacrosse League entry draft by the long defunct Portland Lumberjax.

I had the opportunity to talk to Bold recently, and asked him about whether there was added pressure on the team in selling the sport to a new city.

“There might be a lit-tle bit of pressure,” he said, but added that is something he feeds on. “Myself I’m very competi-tive and always just let it drive me to be better.”

That said Bold shares any acclaim he gets with the defence.

“It’s hats off to the defence,” said Bold.

Of course as a goal-tender Bold’s job is huge as the last line of defence. However, it is also a sport

where even the elite give up a fair number of goals.

Bold said it comes down to mind set, being able to let being scored on go, and focus on the next play. To help with that the Rush netmind-er works with a sports psychologist. That train-ing is part of how he prepares for games. His team bio notes that pre game Bold does not like to nap, but rather he likes to take a walk so he can do his visualization/ focus drills. In a game you can see the netminder going through moves after shots that elude him, clearly visualizing what he should have done to perhaps make the save.

“You have to focus on winning the small battles,” he said. “… It’s definitely a mental toughness you have to be a goaltender … It’s very mentally driven … Goaltending; it’s all men-tal in the NLL.”

“When you have a bad game you can’t dwell on it. You are going to have horrible games.”

It helps too that the Rush as a team are gen-erally a veteran crew so that when adversity does set in, they can battle through.

“We’re men. We’ve been through situations before,” said Bold.

That is certainly the case for Bold himself who is into his 11th season,

and he earned his time the hard way. He was one of four goaltenders with Portland as a rook-ie. He would dress as a back-up a couple of times that season “but I never touched the floor.”

So in Saskatoon the experience is quite dif-ferent. Bold is the main man in net, and the fans have fallen for the Rush.

“It’s been a great experience. It’s fun to have some of the largest crowds we’ve ever played in front of … It’s been amazing.”

And Bold sees more good things for the sport ahead, including growth, which of course fits with the NLL Commissioner’s vision for 16 teams over time.

Bold said the product on the floor is one which can sustain growth with solid ownership in

good markets. He said that could very well include an NLL return to Edmonton, and an instant rival for the Rush.

But Bold also men-tioned other Canadian locales such as Winnipeg, another natural rival for the Rush, Montreal and Halifax, the latter a city

without a pro franchise much as Saskatoon pre-Rush.

But that is a big pic-ture thing for the league. Bold said the key right now is winning games with the Rush.

“We’re in charge of our own destiny. We’re defin-itely in the driver’s seat.” he said.

Rush success starts with Bold in goal
