ZACH MCGRATH When three-year- old Zach McGrath discovered he was too short to reach the DVD player, he climbed the dresser to reach the controls and the TV collapsed on him.

The kids were screaming and I could tell by their faces it was really bad, said Rhonda Samoleski, Zachs mother, who called 911 when she found her son buried under a TV and dresser.

The local fire department was first on scene, followed by paramedics who knew Zach needed immediate critical care and called STARS.

Everyone worked together to help save Zach but if STARS wasnt there for us it could have been very different, said Rhonda. Its still hard to believe we have a happy ending.

If you run in Yorkton, youve heard the name Bernie Wlock. The local man has been a fixture of the local running com-munity, from his decade of work with the Health Foundations Charity Road Race to his work with the connected Learn to Run Clinics. Its only natural that a

tribute to Wlock would involve a run, and as a tribute as Wlock battles cancer, the Health Foundation and Brayden Ottenbreits Close Cuts for Cancer are launching the Bernies Journey Charity Run, to be held on June 18.

Describing the run as a natural fit, Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation says that

they wanted to have an event would connect with Wlocks dedication to running and the com-munity as a whole.

When we found out that Bernie was going through his own strug-gle with cancer this year, it only made sense for us that we would do some-thing to commemorate that, honour his strug-gle, and show our sup-port for him as he has

shown his support for so many people within the community.

All of the proceeds will go to Brayden Ottenbrets Close Cuts for Cancers Local Initiatives Program. Leone Ottenbreit with Close Cuts says that before he was diagnosed, Wlock was a participant in the Close Cuts head shaving event.

Money raised will be spent locally, Ottenbreit says. Previous projects for the local initiatives part of Close Cuts have been the permanent Palliative care rooms, lymphedema programs, community oncology programs and digital mammography.

Our aim is to enhance the lives of peo-ple who are battling can-cer from Yorkton and area, and allow them to stay here for any part of their diagnostic and treatment options.

Registration begins at 7:45 a.m. with the run itself at 8:30 a.m. at the Yorkton Fire Hall on June 18. All runners will get breakfast at 9:00 a.m. following the run, and breakfast will be available to the commu-nity by donation. Fisher hopes that Wlock will be able to make it to the run itself.

Local runner inspires charity event


Its traditional for people to give gifts to their dads for Fathers Day, but this year the Yorkton Prostate Support Group, Yorkton Lions and the Linden Medi-clinic encourage men over 40 to give something to their families, the

assurance of getting a PSA test on June 18.

A PSA test is a blood test that takes a few minutes, explains George Plews with the Yorkton Prostate Support Group. The test is the only avail-able test to find abnor-malities in the prostate, in order to get an early diagnosis of prostate cancer. In its early

stages, prostate cancer can be treated.

The test is free, and the results will be added to the patients chart to provide a base-line and keep track of their progress. The first 50 men to get tested will receive a free t-shirt or cooler. Testing will take place on June 18 between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

BERNIE WLOCK pictured with the local learn to run clinic, has been an active promoter of running in the city, so its only natural that there is a charity run held in his honor as he battles cancer.

As a diplomat hoping to strengthen ties between Ukraine and Ukrainian communities in Canada, it makes a lot of sense that Andriy Shevchenko would wind up in Yorkton at some point.

That point was last Thursday eve-ning for the new Ukrainian ambassa-dor to Canada. Following a visit to Regina during which Shevchenko toured the Legislature, the ambassador traveled to Yorkton for a banquet at which he was the keynote speaker.

We have such wonderful emotional warmth between Canada and Ukraine through the Ukrainian-Canadian com-munity, Shevchenko said. My mission and my challenge is to make sure we can supplement that with very prag-matic reasons to be good partners. Thats why were exploring new oppor-tunities in terms of trade, in terms of investments, and in terms of security cooperation. Im really looking forward

to that.The ambassadors message for local

residents of Ukrainian heritage was three-fold.

Message number one, on behalf of Ukraine, I can say that we are very thankful for what the Ukrainian-Canadian community has been doing, what a wonderful example they have set, for their support to Ukraine, he told Yorkton This Week. Through charity, they help us to make our army stronger, to help us deal with the inter-nal displaced persons, we have 1.6 mil-lion IDPs in Ukraine because of the war.

My message two would be to spread the good word about Ukraine. We enjoy a lot of moral solidarity, but we also would like people in Canada to know more about our success stories. I think we have some major successes in mod-ernizing the country and we hope to see more.

He shared one such suc-cess, which Canada had a major role in.

Canada is helping us to launch the new Ukrainian National Police and law enforcement is very crucial to this new country which we are building, he explained. Two years ago during the revolution, when I saw a policeman in front of me, I knew he is a danger to me, he is a dan-ger to all the people behind me and if someone from the protestors was in the hands of police he would be beaten up, tortured or maybe even murdered. Now we have this new national police that enjoys about 80 per cent of public support and trust. A lot of that comes with the Canadian contribution.

The third part of his message was one of soli-darity.

I would encourage the Ukrainian-Canadian com-munity to stay together, to stay united, he said. They have been wonderful examples, role models, as community leaders, as community activists around country and specif-

ically here in the Yorkton area and I would really encourage them to stay together, that helps them to have a strong voice, a strong say.

Shevchenko also dropped three announce-ments during a VIP meet-and-greet prior to the ban-quet at which he recog-nized Yorkton-Melville MP Cathay Wagantall for being the first Parliamentarian to wel-come him to Canada and for organizing his visit to Yorkton.

First was an invitation to the Canada-Ukraine Business Forum scheduled for June 20 and 21 in Toronto. Tickets are still available for $100-$200 and participants will have access to Ukrainian busi-ness people and govern-ment officials, he explained.

He also said Ukraine is very much looking forward to Prime Minister Justin Trudeaus visit in early July when, he said, he expects the Canada-Ukraine free trade agree-ment will be signed.

Finally, he plugged the U k r a i n i a n - C a n a d i a n Congress (UCC) 75th Anniversary celebrations

set to take place September 29 to October 2 saying he will attend and bring offi-cials from Kiyiv to mark 25 years of Ukrainian inde-pendence, 75 years of the UCC and 125 years of the first Ukrainian settlers to Canada.

Olya Grod, UCC inter-im executive director, said Shevchenkos desire to get out and meet people at the local level is huge for the Ukrainian community and also presented a wonderful opportunity for her organi-zation.

There was really no way we were going to come to Saskatchewan and not come to Yorkton, she said. Its really the heart of Ukrainian Town, so to speak, here in the west.

From Yorkton, Shevchenko traveled to Saskatoon Friday where children at Bishop Filevich Ukrainian Bilingual School threw a surprise 40th birthday party for him.

During his visit, the ambassador also took some time to talk to Yorkton This Week about his involvement in the upheav-al in Ukraine since inde-pendence in 1991. At that time, Shevchenko was a

correspondent for The Ukrainian News, an Edmonton-based publica-tion. During his career he has been a major activist for free speech and a free press. After the Orange Revolution in 2004, he was elected three times to the Ukrainian Parliament and was an active participant in the 2013-14 EuroMaidan protests.

He spoke candidly about the gravity of that situation.

Our EuroMaidan Revolution really gave a feeling to each of us who was in Maidan, that we were making history for our country, for our kids, for our grandkids and for generations to come, he explained. I think what was amazing was the cour-age and the sacrifice of millions of ordinary people because people come to the streets not when they have nothing to lose, but when they have something sto-len away from them. Those people had a lot of things to lose. They knew they were risking their jobs, their prosperity, their health, their lives and it was abso-lutely extraordinary to see that kind or courage

around me.While Shevchenko cites

progress, he also has seri-ous concerns about the future and the lack of awareness of the situation in Ukraine outside the country.

First of all, I think the country is still going through very dramatic events with the war with Russian occupation, he said. Its an existential threat to the country and I think people do realize that what they do really mat-ters.

When I arrived to Canada as Ukrainian ambassador six months ago, I was surprised to hear from many of my new Canadian friends, who thought that the war in Ukraine was over. Well, its not. Every night when you turn on the news you hear about more and more casualties among the mili-tary. We know Putin is not going to stop where he is right now. We know that he cannot accept the very idea of Ukraine indepen-dence. And we know that Putin and his team, they are preparing Russia for a major war against the free world, against the west.

Ukraine is just going to be one of the theatres so we know that we stand not just for ourselves, but for the whole free world as of the moment.

As a former journalist and activist, who has seen the dark heart of oppres-sion, he believes Canadians should feel very lucky.

I think not all the Canadians actually realize what a wonderful society you have built, with so much respect to individu-als, with so much respect to different nations and to minorities and I am very proud that the Ukrainian-Canadians have made a major contribution into this wonderful, extraordi-nary society which you can enjoy, he said.

I think its something which is not to be taken for granted. Actually a major-ity of the people around the world, they dont have that granted, free speech, right to free trial, right to be defended by police. Many of those are not granted for most of the people around the world, but also I think Canadas example should be very encouraging how to build the appropriate society.


It was a mixed week for the Yorkton Yankees, the defending SESBL champions losing a high scor-ing contest in Canora against the Supers, before coming back against the Willowbrook Royals.

In Canora, on June 10, the Supers came out strong, building up a four run lead in the first two innings before the Yankees answered back with a run in the third. While the runs kept coming in for both teams, it was Canora that sealed the deal in the sixth inning with six runs. While the Yankees did follow that up with four runs in the seventh, it wasnt enough to catch up, the final score being a 14-11 for Canora.

Player-coach Mark Jacobs says that while they made a couple of

comeback attempts, they were in a bit too big of a hole by that time.

It was still a good game, but obvi-ously we were on the wrong side of that one.

The follow up contest in Willowbrook on Monday, June 13, went in favor of the Yankees, with a 7-2 win over the Royals. Jacobs says that the key to a win in Willowbrook is to get out ahead early, and when they accomplished that they didnt look back.

Jacobs says strong pitching from Logan Calanchie has been a high-light all year, and combined with the batting lineup coming into its own lead to the teams win.

Our batting lineup, I think, is next to none in the league, weve got some excellent hitters... Once we get our hitting going like weve done now I think were in a position going for-

ward now.Jacobs also credits the strength

and experience of the team with the ability to bounce back after the loss earlier in the week.

Were a confident bunch, weve lost ballgames before, weve lost titles, weve lost blow-outs. Our team has experienced losing and knows how to bounce back.

In order to keep the ball rolling, Jacobs hopes they can get a bit more pitching depth since they cant rely on Calanchie in every game.

Next action for the Yankees will be June 15 at Jubilee Park in Yorkton, against the Langenburg Indians. Jacobs expects a nice, close game between the two teams.

Theyre always a tough team, they handed us our loss a month or so ago so were going to have to look into a bit of retribution hopefully.

People frequently lament that people no longer connect to each other. Theyll complain that people are too attached to their phones, social media or other online distractions. Theyll dream of some mythical real conversations that they imagine have gone away, replaced by a form of digital com-munication that they do not want to understand. Just because people dont connect the way that peo-ple used to connect does not mean these connections arent happening, or that there isnt real, meaningful human interaction happening in a realm that they might not necessarily understand.

Ive long been active in a few different online com-munities. Some are still around, some have faded away as members grew apart and work and family commitments have made it difficult to continue to participate. Ive met people who I consider friends, some I dont like very much, and others I go back and forth on. A way to pass the time when its cold and I dont want to leave the house wound up leading to an incredibly ambitious road trip where I met a few of these online friends. But its hard to really under-stand how these little communities of disparate people can really connect to each other. After all, its frequently the case where you dont know the actual names of people, or have not met them face to face, its difficult to really imagine what kind of impact they might have. Its also easy to imagine that this disparate collection of people scattered around the globe arent really having a major impact on each other.

This week I have had a reminder that these com-munities can have a major impact on people, and that reminder came through the death of one of the members. I didnt know him that well, he was very active but not someone I had many conversations with myself. He seemed troubled, his last message said something about how he wasnt planning to be around much longer, but he also was an intelligent and kind person who people genuinely liked and respected.

In the wake of his death came tributes, people from all walks of life talking about the difference he made in theirs. Some of the stories were small, some were big, but the main theme is that this man did connect with people, and while he might not have realized it he had made a connection, it was clear he did, and with a large number of people. The ripples of his loss spread internationally, a man who I met through trying to tell jokes to strangers has hit harder than he could have ever predicted.

Its also a reminder that behind the screens, the strange names and icons, the shield of anonymity, there are people there. People with their own prob-lems, struggles, values and goals. His death hits me

not because of who he was, but as a reminder that he was someone. Too often people online can get nega-tive and hateful because theres that shield there, that distance between yourself and the people you are talking to. But to learn about the death of some-one you felt you got to know at least a little over the years, it is a reminder that we are all people. Its another reminder of the humanity behind the strange and often off-putting world that exists beyond our computer screens.

Its also a reminder of how these conversations are no less real than the ones you have face to face with someone. Its often at least easier to have a real connection while in the same room, when you have a lot more than just text to go with, but its clear that even the most basic text conversation can still have an effect on someone. If that were not the case, it would not have hit anyone as hard as it has that this man died, that they will no longer see him making comments on their computer screen. Its a genuine connection, no less real than one made through any other means. Im seeing the impact of this mans death through people who cared deeply about him, from those who knew very little about him at all to those who had become a major part of his life.

While its an interaction through a screen and keyboard, it has an impact. We hear about the nega-tives of online interaction, but its rare that the upsides are celebrated as much as they should be. There are countless friendships, actual marriages, real connections and supports developed through online interaction. Thats important, and while we can see the negatives of online interaction easy enough, we should also remember the positives, and that its just another way for people to connect and bond. In some ways, a positive relationship is a reminder of the impact negative words online can have as well, because all words have an impact, it does not matter how they are delivered.

If there is something we can learn from the early loss of this man Ive never met in person, its that we need to care about each other, no matter how we know each other in life. Try, if at all possible, to have a positive impact, even on those you dont know.

Guns: the casefor the status quo

The death of someone online

ED I TOR I A LI N S I GHT S PUBLISHER: Neil Thom

CIRCULATION/ADMIN: Michaela Miller

On June 13, 2016, Barack Obama addressed his nation about a mass shooting for the 15th time in his seven-and-a-half years as president of the United States.

That is not even the most appalling or horrifying thing about gun violence in the U.S. The worst thing is the president reserves nationally televised state-ments for only the most egregious of these events. If he had to address all of them, that would be his full time job.

The killing spree at an Orlando nightclub Sunday night was not even the only mass shootingdefined as an incident in which four or more people are killed or injured by firearmlast weekend. On Saturday, five people were killed in Roswell New Mexico. Five more were gunned downthree dead, two injuredin Panorama, California. A total of two more died and 10 were injured in three other attacks in Minnesota, California and North Carolina.

Orlando was by far the worst, with 50 dead and 49 injured, but it was only one of 133 incidents up to that point in 2016. It is currently Wednesday morn-ing, the day we go to press. There have been five more mass shootings since Orlando. By the time you read this editorial, odds are very good there will have been one or two more.

The death toll from mass shootings is now more than 200 for this year alone and that does not even touch on the one-off gun murders, which now num-ber over 5,000 well on their way to a typical year of more than 10,000.

And its not just Americans. There are people right here in Canada, particularly in this part of Canada, who want us to adopt the American model of gun control, i.e., none whatsoever. That is insane.

The News Review is not advocating stricter gun control for Canada, merely that we maintain the status quo, which is a reasonable compromise between respect for heritage activities and main-taining public safety. Canadian gun control laws are not even that strict by comparison with other devel-oped countries.

In 2015, more than two million Canadians had firearms licences. Almost a million restricted or pro-hibited weapons were registered.

But while Americans have racked up 138, or more, mass shootings this year, we have had exactly one, January 22 in La Loche.

Canadians are not particularly nicer than Americans and we are not particularly less violent. Our violence is simply not as deadly because we dont have unrestricted access to firearms of all kinds.

How much more deadly could La Loche have been if the perpetrator could have walked into any gun shop and legally walked out with a semi-automatic assault rifle and as much ammo as he wanted as the Orlando shooter was able to do?

The fact of the matter is, there is a direct correla-tion between gun control and gun death. The United States, with virtually no gun control, has a firearms murder rate of nearly 11 per 100,000 population every year. Canadas rate, with moderate gun con-trol, is just under two. The United Kingdom with very strict gun control only clocks around 0.2 gun deaths per 100,000 people.

Are Britons less violent than Americans? Assault statistics that put Scotland at the very top of the heap among developed nations say otherwise.

Yes, there will always be people who should not have guns, who will get hold of them. Such was the case in La Loche where the killer used someone elses shotgun and in Edmonton in 2014 when a mentally unstable individual used a stolen gun to murder eight family members.

Guns do not cause mental illness, religious extremism or other underlying reasons for gun vio-lence, but the gun problem exacerbates these other problems. Yes, the United States has a gun problem.

In May, Bob Zimmer, a Conservative MP from northern B.C. tabled a petition in Parliament to make the AR-15, the very same weapon used by the Orlando gunman, unrestricted in Canada. He even had the gall to say the justification is so we can once again use this rifle to lawfully participate in the Canadian cultural practices of hunting in Canada.

The thing is the AR-15 is not illegal in Canada, it is merely restricted. You can buy one if you pass the background check, register it and only use it for tar-get practice on a range. As it should be with all military-style weapons.

Please, people of Yorkton, Saskatchewanians, Canadians, lets be reasonable. We may not want to emulate the U.K., but we certainly do not want to take after the United States.

Things I do with words...

We need to revisit conven-tional thinking on health-care services for seniors so the system is sustainable for all Canadians.

To do that, we need to over-come a number of mispercep-tions.

First, there is a belief that a growing seniors population will result in runaway costs that bankrupt the health-care system. But research shows that growth in the seniors population will add less than one per cent a year to health costs. In fact, the main fac-tors driving increased health-care costs are increased use of technol-ogy (including drugs), the rising use of health services across all ages and hikes in wages for health-care providers.

A second related belief is that the percentage of provincial bud-gets consumed by health care is increasing as a direct result of the proportion of seniors. In fact, there is no runaway rise in health-care costs based on the percentage of gross domestic product spent on health care in Canada. There was only a minor increase, from 10 to 10.5 per cent,

between 1992 and 2007. After a major increase during the last financial crisis (11.9 per cent in 2009), the percentage has declined as the economy recovers. The percentage of GDP spent on health care in Canada was 10.7 per cent in 2013 - a modest increase since 1992.

A third misperception is that the health-care system for seniors needs to focus on public health and physician services. This resulted in a shift in policy priori-ties in the 1990s from develop-ment of an integrated national care delivery system for seniors to a focus on enhancements to public health and physician ser-vices. This in turn resulted in the integrated systems of care for older adults being broken into component parts, each competing for additional funds.

One consequence has been an increased focus on home care. While this is helpful and home care is necessary, it is essentially an add-on cost unless it is part of an integrated system of care where proactive tradeoffs can be made to substitute less costly

home care for more expensive residential and hospital care.

A fourth belief has been that the focus should be on individuals with high care needs and that relatively little attention need be given to preventive care for peo-ple who have a given health con-dition. However, the evidence seems to indicate that, overall, individuals with low-level care needs who are cut from care actu-ally cost the system more - they deteriorate faster and are more likely to need more costly resi-dential and hospital care than people who continue to receive minimal preventive care. The result is - perversely - an incen-tive to get sicker quicker to quali-fy for publicly-funded care ser-vices.

A focus on home care for high-needs seniors has resulted in models that integrate home care and family physician services. While such models can be part of an integrated system, they dont replace a continuum of support that enhances quality of life and delays more expensive care.

How damaging have these

popular misconceptions been to our health system? Policy makers have made choices based on them, creating an apparent acceptance of the fiscal status quo without looking for cost-saving efficiencies.

Clearly we need an integrated system for older adults that increases the quality and conti-nuity of care, and can reduce costs and enhance the sustain-ability of the health-care system for all Canadians.

A first step is for decision makers to recognize that a con-tinuing care system for older adults is a key component of our health system - equivalent to hospital care, physician care and public health. This would allow the splintered components of home care, home support, resi-dential care facilities and geriat-ric units in hospitals to be brought together.

Such a system would be the third largest component of our health expenditures, after hospi-tals and physician care. Given that most of the parts are already in place in most jurisdictions, it

would cost relatively little to set up integrated systems of care for the elderly. It would be money well spent.

Time to rethink health-care policy for the elderly

Evenings are long these days. Youll have to wait until after 9:30pm or so to catch the Moon above Mars on the 16th and Saturn on the 18th, but for a good rea-son. On the afternoon of June 20th, at precisely 4:33:39 Yorkton time, Summer Solstice will occur in the northern hemisphere.

On the Solstice, the Sun will be in the sky for 16 hours, 35 minutes and 6 seconds, the most this year. By compari-son, thats 8 hours and 42 minutes longer than at the winter solstice last December. Its like getting a whole free day.

However, solstices do not mark the earliest sunrise nor the latest sunset of the year. The earliest sunrise this year was on the morning of June 16th, where the Sun broke through your bedroom window at 4:34am. However, for those trying to finish their evening golf game in the twilight, the latest sunset of the year is on June 24th when the Sun doesnt set until 09:10.

The word solstice is an astronomical term derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because on the Solstices, the Sun appears to stand still

before reversing direc-tion. On the Solstice, the Sun rises further in the northeast and sets fur-ther in the northwest than at any other time. As well, shadows cast at noon are as short as they can get because this day marks the Suns highest point in the sky for the year. For those living at

the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer (just south of Key West, Florida), the Sun will be directly over-head, meaning they will have no shadows at all, no matter how hard they look.

Speaking of the Tropic of Cancer, the name was given, some 2000 years ago, to the line on the

Earth that marks the furthest point north that the Sun reaches on the summer solstice before turning back south. The word Tropic comes from the Greek tropos, mean-ing turn, and Cancer was the constellation the Sun was in at the time. Similarly, the winter sol-stice is marked by the Tropic of Capricorn, because at the time the Sun was in, you guessed it, Capricorn. Current solstices occur with the Sun in neither constella-tion, but the traditional names for the lines have stuck.

While we now pass the day off as a mere

curiosity, solstices usedto be a big deal. The ancient, mainly European celebration ofMidsummers Day cen-ters around June 24th,and the familiar date ofDecember 25th original-ly marked the start of a pagan festival celebrat-ing the winter solstice in pre-Christian times.

Summer Solstice is bitter sweet; the next day is already shorter and (shudder) winter that much closer. So, make your time count. With the caterpillars ontheir way out, its time to make the most of those long days and eveningsin our own back yards.

Summer Solstice - a day like none other

If you are a fan of disc golf, and I certainly am, the first weekend in June was notable as the European Open was held in Nokia, Finland.

The end was the third of five stops on the inaugural Disc Golf World Tour. The event was notable for a last round surge by Paul McBeth to top the event.

With the major event in the books I thought it was a good time to include an interview with disc golf pro Nathan Doss who played in the opening event of the World Tour, the La Mirada Open back in March where he finished fifth.

The 30-year-old native of California has been throwing discs for years.

When I was around six-years-old, my father, Mark, found out about the game on a public access television show in Santa Cruz, California. It wasnt until that following summer when Mark took me along to play at De LaVeaga Disc Golf Course, Doss said in a Q&A via email. As a kid, I had ton of energy and loved being outside so playing disc golf was a perfect fit.

And that connection to the outdoors has kept

Doss involved. Since I was intro-

duced to disc golf so young, I think just being outside and playing a sport was what kept me playing, he said. As I became more skilled in the sport, I fell in love with the strategy of the game. I realized that you didnt have to be the fastest or strongest but that it was your skill and experience that were the most impor-tant factors.

Then the realization that disc golf had a pro-fessional aspect grabbed Doss.

Every year the national tournament, the Masters Cup, rolled through Santa Cruz as did the top players in the sport, he said. So, I was familiar with the game and the best play-ers from these events, and eventually found myself playing along-side them.

Since I was about 12, the local club and fellow local players sup-ported me and always told me that I would be great player. I am not sure I believed them at the time, but it definite-ly gave me something to strive for.

And as a kid, I want-ed to be a pro whether I had the skills or not, because I just wanted to

play against the best players at the time.

I ended up turning pro when I was 15-years-old.

It helped too that Doss had some success early, as he recounted his first tournament win.

My first big win in my mind was the 2000 Amateur Masters Cup in my home town of Santa Cruz, Ca. I was a 14-year-old kid playing against grown men, most of which were my friends, he said. I cant remember all the specif-ics from that far back but I do remember hav-ing a game plan and sticking to it! It helps to be a local at De La.

So it was natural to ask Doss which is his favourite course.

My favorite course would have to be Milo McIver State Park, just outside of Portland, OR., he said. The park is magical, with a raging river, giant trees, and a

course that challenges you to make every type of throw. I make the claim all the time, that if I was forced to only play one course for the rest of my life, it would be Milo.

But that is not the toughest course to play.

I would have to say The Beast course that we play during the European Open in Nokia, Finland, he said. There is a good mixture of all types of shots chal-lenging disc golf holes. Jussi Meresmaa knows how to strategically place the OBs to force the players to perfectly execute the shots every round. If you can tame the beast, youll come out on top.

But what about other players? Who is the play-er he most respects, or considers is rival?

Doss avoided specific names on this one.

I respect everyone I compete against, he offered. The best thing

about playing any sport are the people you play against because without them it would not be a sport. I have never con-sidered anyone a rival but have been fortunate to be in a close battle with many great players over the years.

Every tournament and competitive experi-ence Ive had has made me who I am today, win or lose. I have all my fel-low competitors to thank for that.

Choosing the biggest moment of his career was easier for Doss.

The 2011 World Championships in my home town of Santa Cruz, Ca, he selected. That win meant such much to me to win my third world champion-ship in my home town surrounded by my clos-est friends and family. Its a memory Ill never forget.

With all the great courses and growing events, like the World Tour, Doss said the sport of disc golf appears poised to take another step in terms of broader recognition, and maybe prime time sports televi-sion.

I think disc golf is already in the spotlight, he suggested. With alternative media becoming more common

and more sought after, I think disc golf is movingin the right direction. The future for disc golf has never looked bright-er.

The new Pro Tour andthe World Tour are obvi-ous elements of the growth.

I think both tours prove that disc golf is growing, said Doss. Itis great to see that these tours are stepping out-side of the standard to create something new for the game.

Im sure in this first year there will be grow-ing pains but they aremoving the sport in theright direction, for sure.

On a personal level Doss said he wants to bepart of the growth as thebest player he can be in terms of disc golf.

My goal has always been to be the best play-er in the world! I have been a professional disc golfer for over 15 years and my consistency through the years reflects my experience in the sport, he said.

I have been extreme-ly fortunate that over mycareer Ive been able to win three world champi-onships and a nationaltitle. I am looking for-ward to this year, andwill continue strive to bethe best at every event I play.

Doss sees growth of disc golf at pro level

Flank steak is one of my favorite cuts of beef for the BBQ because it offers big beefy flavour, and is extremely tender when cut and prepared properly. Due to the fact that there are many people that dont know much about this specific cut, it tends to be a very underrated steak in comparison to more popular cuts such as strip loin, sirloin, rib-eye, etc. There is also a lot of misinformation in the media about flank steak and I hope to clear up some of this confusion for you.

Beef flank steak is a long and flat cut of meat from the abdominal muscles of the cow. It is significantly tougher than other cuts of meat as it comes from a strong well-exercised part of the cow. The direction of the grain of the meat and connective tissue is promi-nently visible, especially in the raw form. Moist heat techniques, such as braising, will be successful in making the meat tender, but it can also be simply grilled to a rare/medium-rare/medium doneness and then sliced thinly across the grain, and still be

very tender.I have witnessed many Chefs on TV state that one

must marinate a flank steak before grilling in order for it to be tender. This is not true. Although marinat-ing is fine to do with a flank steak, it is an optional step, not a requirement. The acid in a marinade will break down the connective tissue over time, but I have barbequed so many flank steaks that have been melt in your mouth tender, with no marinating

whatsoever. The secret is to make sure you dontover-cook the steak and then slice it thinly in theopposite direction of how the grain of the meat is run-ning (across the grain).

For optimal flavour, my preferred way of prepar-ing flank steak is to first coat it with a spice rub, grillit to the desired doneness, let it rest for a few min-utes, slice it very thinly across the grain, and thendrizzle it with garlic butter. When slicing it thinly, Ialso make sure I slice it on an angle, approximately45 degrees. Flank steak is a very thin cut of meat andslicing it on a 45-degree angle will make more elon-gated slices and provide better plate coverage, orsandwich coverage.

Letting it rest after cooking will help the steak toretain more of its juices. All meat, from a small steakto large roasts or turkeys, should have a resting timefor this reason. The bigger the size of the meat, the

longer it should rest. I let a flank steak rest for at least 5 minutes.

I have also seen Chefs on TV take a knife and score the flank steak before going into their mar-inade - in my opinion this is incorrect as well. Although at first it may seem to make sense to put cuts into the surface of the meat to aid in the penetration of the marinade into the inside of the steak, howev-er this goes against one of the golden rules of grilling meats: Never Pierce your Meat. The goal of cooking

meat is to have the end result as a juicy flavourful product. If you pierce your meat (by jabbing a fork into it for flipping, or cutting into it), then valuable juic-es will be lost. Meat that has been scored prior to cooking will suffer the same damaging situation, and always use tongs to flip your steak, not a fork.

Many premade spice rubs for meat can be pur-chased at your local grocery store, but I find it more satisfying to create differ-ent ones myself with ingre-dients I have on hand already. Here is a basic Cajun blackening spice rub

recipe for you to experi-ment with. If available in your area, try replacing the paprika (or at least a por-tion of it) with a sweet smoked paprika for more flavour. Happy cooking!Cajun Blackening Spice Rub

A perfect way to add tons of flavour. Store in an air-tight container for 3 to 6 months.
