Note from our

Editor

With only 12 more Fridays ‘til Christmas and the constant reminders by stores that the holiday season, and winter, are on their way, I suggest we pause a minute to enjoy fall’s beautiful moments.

While you are at it, let’s all collectively take a deep breath and reflect on some of life’s most Photo by Kiriako Iatridis simple pleasures - the colours of the season, wonderful friends and family, and the landscape of our beautiful province.

It’s no secret that a part of our lovely landscape; wooden grain elevators of the past, have been in trouble for some time now – with most torn down.

I think you will really appreciate the efforts by Ali Piwowar, featured in this month’s cover story, whose quest it is not only to save the elevators but reimagine them for greater purpose.

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t share a very moving and personal moment from last month, which allowed me to be grateful for the types of readers we have here at Pink.

With kindness at heart, I heard from one of our male readers (yes they are reading right along with all of you ladies!) with a hand written letter in regard to how much he enjoyed last month’s cover story. So I just want to say a big thank you to Bill – through your outreach, your touching remarks made my day. Your letter should arrive shortly.

If we take the lead from such amazing people like Ali and Bill and put our efforts into rethinking, restoring and building, whether it’s a historic landmark or a relationship, our lives will become even more full and enriched.

Preserving the Prairies

By Jessica Reimer

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 4 ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2015

It goes without saying that Saskatchewan’s wooden grain elevators – or “Prairie Sentinels,” as they are affectionately known – are an important and impressive piece of Saskatchewan’s economic, social and cultural history. Over the course of time these elevators have adopted cultural significance that extends beyond simple form or function. They are more than just buildings; rather, they are part of our provincial identity, making appearances in our photographs, paintings, sculptures and stories.

Unfortunately however, these “Sentinels” are disappearing at an alarm-

est and support along the way.

The following is a direct quotation from the introductory portion of Piwowar’s thesis: “Though demolition of abandoned wooden grain elevators is their usual fate, it is crucial that the cultural value of these historic structures be recognized through their living heritage and that adaptive reuse is considered to sustain their existence and usability into the future. This thesis substantiates the importance of wooden grain elevators to Prairie people and prescribes an architectural response for adaptive reuse.”

To me, architecture is about giving back, it’s about translating stories into a built form and bringing communities and people together to build networks. ing rate. It is estimated fewer than 400 elevators are still standing today, a fraction of the more than 3,000 that decorated the province less than a century ago.

For Ali Piwowar, an intern architect and former Saskatchewan resident, this trend towards destruction and elimination must be put to an end. Her Master’s thesis – “Living Heritage: Re-imagining Wooden Crib Grain Elevators in Saskatchewan” – issues a call to action to consider the potential for these structures to be transformed into vibrant, interactive and communal spaces. Since successfully completing her thesis defense, she has shared this vision with communities throughout Saskatchewan and across Canada, gaining significant attention, inter-

“Grain companies are a big part of our cultural heritage,” she explains.

“The story of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool is one of a cooperative movement, of farmers bonding together in true Saskatchewan nature to find a fair way of trading grain.”

Piwowar’s thesis includes a case study examining the feasibility of converting a grain elevator in Indian Head – the former “bread basket” of Saskatchewan and title holder of the highest concentration of wooden elevators in North America – into a lively, social space.

To achieve this, she applied a theory known as “living heritage.” Traditionally, the term “heritage” has involved preservation efforts that were

static, effectively freezing pieces of the past in space and time. Thanks to the hard work of the team at Heritage Saskatchewan however, over the past few years this concept has undergone a facelift both in meaning and application. Piwowar explained that the future of heritage is about “breathing new life in a way that creates vibrant places that are exciting and useful.”

She shared that the goal of her thesis project was to “try and understand the relationship between then and now.”

“To me, architecture is about giving back,” she says. “It’s about translating stories into a built form and bringing communities and people together to build networks.”

Piwowar’s fascination with grain elevators began shortly after moving to Regina from Cambridge, ON at the tender age of ten. At that time she had no way of knowing that what would start as a playful affinity for the tall, wooden structures would later evolve into what is fast becoming a Saskatchewan-wide movement to bring them back to life in a new and innovative way.

After making the move to Saskatchewan, Piwowar’s parents were intent on experiencing, as a family, all that their new home had to offer.

Weekends were often spent in the car, traveling to destinations that spanned all corners of the province. Vivid in Piwowar’s memory were the many elevators that stood tall, strong, and in stark contrast to the

Designing, for her, is a process that simultaneously evokes feelings of joy, peace and relaxation. This made her a right fit for Carleton University’s Azrieli School of Architecture, a competitive and demanding program celebrated for its focus on conceptual and artistic architectural design. Between 2009 and her graduation ceremony earlier this year, Piwowar demonstrated the dedication and passion necessary to earn both a Bachelor of Architectural Studies and, later, a Master of Architecture.

Piwowar considers her approach to architecture and design to be nurturing, a reflection of her social, easy-going personality. She wishes to express in her designs a certain sense of feminism and infuse what she calls a “girly” flair into a predominantly masculine industry.

“When I design, I think about an emotion and strive to create a space that evokes a feeling,” she says. “I plan to bring a female perspective into whatever office I work in.”

The inspiration behind Piwowar’s thesis topic presented itself in a rather unorthodox way a few years ago. While in recovery after having her wisdom teeth removed, she awoke from a nap and was struck by the idea to convert Saskatchewan’s grain elevators – the same buildings that fascinated her growing up – into social spaces. Although her original thought was to develop them into hotels and private residences, the idea has since evolved into one founded on collaboration and inter-

In Ontario, it can feel like you never really leave the city, whereas back home you hit the edge of town and you’re met with beautiful prairies and ample space.” characteristically flat landscape. She described the structures as both majestic and mysterious, explaining that their verticality and the names of rural Saskatchewan towns etched in big, bold lettering on their sides “really anchored a place.”

“I’ve come to understand places in terms of horizons,” she says. “In a small town, those grain elevators create a beautiful sense of safety and of strength, of prosperity and fertile ground. When a town loses its elevators, that horizon really changes.”

While these family outings with her parents and younger brothers certainly instilled in her a love of travel, it would take leaving the province for her to acknowledge the profound and deep connection she had made with Saskatchewan during her childhood and teenage years. Piwowar chose to move back to Ontario shortly after her high school graduation; since then, however, she has developed a renewed appreciation for the place she so proudly calls “home.”

“It took leaving Saskatchewan for me to realize how much I loved it,” she shares. “In Ontario, it can feel like you never really leave the city, whereas back home you hit the edge of town and you’re met with beautiful prairies and ample space.”

Piwowar’s return to Ontario was motivated in large part by her lifelong dream of one day becoming an architect. She shared that growing up she was constantly scavenging for materials and surfaces to draw on.

activity, where elevators would host coffee shops, tourist offices and other opportunities that promote social exchange. Ultimately, though, her intent has always been to “revitalize a place through architecture.”

“Many people don’t see Saskatchewan as a destination,” says Piwowar.

“They stay on the Trans-Canada highway and drive right through. What they don’t see though, is that there are really cool things that can happen here when you get off the highway and explore.”

“Small town living is also often not considered as vibrant and prosperous as city living,” she continues. “I want to allow people to truly experience these spaces and design different interactions between locals and tourists. It’s not about initial profit – it’s about creating collective, community spaces.”

Piwowar is certainly no stranger to the concept of community: from active involvement with her high school’s student council to event planning, and later accepting the position of National President for her university sorority, Alpha Pi Phi, she is in the business of building not only designs, but also networks.

An important element of her thesis involved consultations with people both in Indian Head as well as throughout Saskatchewan in order to get an “insider perspective” on how this idea could be applied in the real world, and in a way that would satisfy the needs of those individuals who would eventually access the finished products. From farmers to

tourists to elevator operators, she put her resourceful nature to work to ensure the story she told through her thesis was as complete, considerate and comprehensive as possible.

“I am motivated by the people I’ve met and the passion they’ve shown along the way,” says Piwowar. “My idea is no longer just an idea; it’s a movement. Without the help of so many others, I know this wouldn’t be happening and I’m so motivated by the excitement of people believing in the potential of what I am trying to do.”

Piwowar wished to extend special thanks to the following individuals who she says have guided and supported her through her studies, her thesis work and the work that is yet to come: her parents; her loving fiancé Erik Willis; Professor Stephen Fai at Carleton Immersive Media Studio and Jim Mountain with the National Trust for Canada.

The effortlessness with which Piwowar is able to bring people together has been instrumental in garnering buy-in and engagement from a variety of stakeholder groups. She recognizes the importance of collaboration not only as it applies to the function and purpose of the refurbished elevators themselves, but also as part of the transformative process to get them to that end state. The actual process of converting a grain elevator is far from easy; there are financial, technical, and an almost infinite number of other factors and considerations that have to be dealt with in order for an elevator to be safe for human occupancy.

“If a community wants something like this to happen, there’s nothing stopping it,” she says.

Recently, Piwowar received endorsement from Mary Taylor, CEO of Tourism Saskatchewan. Taylor encouraged the people of Saskatchewan to “imagine the positive effect and the pride and spirit restored by making these structures a place for community use and social gathering.” Gauging by the tremendously positive community response Piwowar and her plans have received thus far, it is clear that this positive effect has already started to take shape.

Following her thesis defense, Piwowar received a flurry of media attention that, according to her, has further affirmed to her the need and value of continuing this work. This attention has also opened doors of opportunity to connect with people who can help transform her vision into a reality. For example, in September, Piwowar facilitated a series of workshops with the people of Gravelbourg to discuss options for redesign of the growing community’s existing grain elevator. This month she will be presenting her work before thousands of heritage professionals at the Heritage Canada National Trust Heritage Conference in Calgary, AB. She will also be traveling to Edmonton, AB to present to a group of Urban Systems engineers who, according to Piwowar, are just as excited about the project as she is.

“Some people hear my idea and think I’m crazy at first, but the more we talk and think about the future, the more they see the hope and the possibility of this plan,” she says. “I really believe I can contribute something to Saskatchewan. Even if I can save at least a handful of [elevators] – to me, that’s something.”

Given Piwowar’s passion, her commitment, her ingenuity and her strong work ethic, it’s safe to say that the future of Saskatchewan’s “Sentinels” are in good hands.

Small Steps to Hidden Savings

You want to save more for retirement, but life and its expenses show no sign of slowing down, and you’re not sure where you’ll find the extra cash. You may be surprised to learn how much “hidden” money is available once you begin tracking spending.

The next time you’re out with friends or travelling to work, look at the person on your left. Then, look at the person on your right. One of the three of you has absolutely no idea how much money he or she spends on a regular basis and is likely missing out on key opportunities to build-up retirement savings.

According to a 2012 national omnibus survey commissioned by Edward Jones about one-third of Canadians do not keep track of their spending. The survey found 38.5% of the remaining respondents track every penny and about 30% at least monitor fixed expenses, such as utilities, car payments, housing costs and similar essentials.

It’s no surprise young adults (ages 18-34) are least likely to track their spending, while those above age 65 are most likely. An interesting survey result, though, shows those earning below $40,000 annually and those making above $100,000 a year are both more likely to track expenses. This suggests good money management habits, such as tracking spending, are important regardless of wealth or income levels.

So, what difference does it really make to know how much you spend on discretionary items like lattes, clothing and vacations? If you add them up over the course of a year, you will see small choices you make with money can affect your ability to reach goals for later years.

Try tracking your spending for a while, but don’t stress about money mistakes that have already happened. Once you have a fix on your spending, focus your attention instead on how you will spend going forward.

For example, estimate every expense you expect over the next year, from your morning coffee to groceries to clothes to travel. Break those totals down to monthly amounts and start thinking about which expenses you can trim or eliminate. For example: •

Buy online versions of magazines, which may be cheaper than print versions

•

Consider downgrading your cable subscription (do you really need all those channels?),

•

Opt for a less-expensive cell phone package or get a family plan that shares minutes

•

Switch to a slower Internet broadband speed at home

•

Bringing lunch to work vs. buying lunch each day

•

Choose the coffee over the latte

Right away, you may5535 see opportunities to save $50 or more per week. That’s at least $200 a PMS month and, if you kick in a little more, you are well on your way to contributing sizeably toward that RRSP or TFSA.

PMS 5535

Worried you will forget to do it and fall out of the savings habit? Set up a pre-authorized payment into your RRSP and or TFSA on a weekly or monthly basis. You likely won’t even miss that $50 a week and will be surprised to see how quickly it may accumulate.

Armed with this knowledge of where your money is flowing, you can begin working with your Edward Jones advisor to take small steps to greater savings by identifying how you can redirect your discretionary cash to fund your future retirement or other life goals.

A systematic investment plan does not assure a profit or protect against loss. Such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels. The investor Black should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels.

Why Is My Scalp So Itchy?

By Joy Tesch Do you feel like you are constantly scratching your scalp? Embarrassed about the amount of dandruff you can see on your black sweater? Have you tried countless amounts of shampoos and still have the itch? Here are a few reasons for your itchy scalp and tips on how to get rid of it!

Simplest explanation, your scalp is dry! With season change, the air gets drier. Amp up your conditioner to help hydrate your hair and scalp.

Dandruff! Did you know that up to 50 percent of the population experiences dandruff? Dandruff is usually seen in individuals from adolescence to about age fifty.

Wash your hair! When you don’t wash your hair regularly, you can experience a buildup of oil and dead skin cells that causes both flaking and itchy scalp!

Exfoliate your scalp! When you wash your hair, don’t forget to wash your scalp. Use your fingers break up buildup on your scalp. Try shampooing twice. The first shampoo will get rid of debris on your hair and scalp, and the second wash will actually cleanse the hair making sure it’s fully clean.

Beware! You might be allergic to product(s) you are putting in your hair.

If you’ve started experiencing an itchy scalp and recently switched products, that new product may be the culprit. Hair products can be filled with parabens, (which are preservatives) and many different types of chemicals that cause allergies that result in an itchy scalp. Make sure to do your research on what you are putting on your hair.

Your diet can be causing your itchy scalp. Diets low in vitamin B, vitamin D, good fats and zinc can actually present in the form of a dry and itchy scalp. Eat nutritious food.

Did you just come back from a hot vacation? You may be healing from a sunburn. Your scalp can burn, too. Once it begins healing, it may flake off and cause itching. Use a soothing product and deep conditioner or oil.

Hope this helped you banish your scalp problems! For further information email me at joyteschhair@gmail.com Happy Hair Days!

#StyleliveSHere #cozyup

By Michelle Strawford Our fall forecast is calling for a whole lot more cozy!

The leaves have fallen, the temperature has dropped, lattes are in hand and our fireplaces are stoked. It’s time to do one of my most favorite things … cozy on up!

We have been in business for over 10 years now and have seen fashion trends one and go. Over all this time there has always been one constant. I have yet to meet a fashionista who doesn’t love to don their favorite cozy sweatshirt, a great pair of yoga pants or leggings, and curl up at home on a cool Saskatchewan day.

BELLA CHIC has invested years into creating our own private label aptly named BELLA, with the launch occurring in August of this year. The first pieces in our collection include fleece-lined

sweatshirts featuring signature graphics such as “#cozyup,” “hello weekend” and “rock, paper, scissors”.

The launch of the collection was a huge success with many pieces selling out quickly. We’ve restocked and are ready to share our collection around fireplaces, at ski resorts and under Christmas trees everywhere!

We are excited to grow the BELLA collection. Watch for new pieces including Saskatchewan Roughrider themed shirts, and children’s pieces coming soon.

Find all you need to complete your fall look at www.bellachic.ca.

Share your favorite cozy styles on our Instagram feed @Style_ Lives_Here_BellaChic.

With a lifelong passion for fashion Michelle Strawford runs multiple businesses all with a focus on showcasing and bringing style to Saskatchewan. From owning a photography company and producing SK’s top retail events, not to mention owning a women’s fashion company too, Michelle lives and breathes what she loves.

vancouver island the beautiful

By Dale Strawford

British Columbia never disappoints me. It just has so much to offer.

The outdoors is where I recharge, and Ucluelet seemed like a great place to do that.

It was my second trip to Vancouver Island but my first to the quiet, remote and less populated west coast of the island. What an absolute jewel of a place. Like most scenic towns, Ucluelet oozed charm and small town appeal in spades. Situated on a peninsula, it’s surrounded on both sides by the water that lend to its beauty, and our first reaction was to do absolutely nothing. That’s a strange way to feel but sometimes that is what recharging is all about.

Our accommodations, a stone’s throw from Big Beach, were ocean front and this afforded us with a fantastic sunset view to enjoy some beer on the patio. A few beer led to a few glasses of wine, and we saw no reason to hurry out for supper. There is something hypnotic about the ocean; you can just watch it for hours with no real purpose.

It’s immensely relaxing. And this was one of those moments that I am glad that I didn’t wear a watch. So little to do and so much time to do it in.

Whale watching is on the menu in British Columbia, and Ucluelet experiences the greatest whale migration on the planet during March and April, with up to 17,000 grey whales passing through on their way from Baja to the Arctic Ocean. We spent a half day out on the water on a zodiac amongst the Broken Group Islands watching humpback whales. “Humpties,” as our guide lovingly referred to them, rewarded us with frequent and multiple sightings. It was interesting watching them swim along the tide line scooping up a meal. The zodiac is a wonderful way to enjoy both the water and surrounding beauty of the forested mountains, and picture perfect islands.

One thing you learn about small towns, is to always listen to locals when they recommend a place to eat. Our zodiac guide Martha, recommended Hank’s Untraditional BBQ, and they delivered with a down home feel complete with Pearl Jam concert posters; bottomless Hoyne Brewing Company Dark Matter pints; and the best pulled pork and jalapeno mac and cheese you’ve ever tasted. It wasn’t hard to want to come back again the next night, but even the great ones need a day off.

Hiking has always been my favourite thing to do in British Columbia because of the views – they are endless, expansive and breathtaking.

32 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 4 ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2015

The forest offers qualities that are always hard to describe effectively, but for your viewing pleasure, the Pacific Rim National Park area contains some of the oldest trees in Canada. Think 800 years old.

Think 10ft in diameter. These are incredible trees to walk amongst and we greatly enjoyed our hikes within the park, particularly the Schooner Cove Trail onto Long Beach and on the Rainforest Trail loops.

Long Beach is massive at almost 10km long, and is a popular surfing spot, even on a day that required a warm jacket. We enjoyed the opportunity to explore it during low tide. We hiked every day along the Wild Pacific Trail, a scenic ocean walk that was as peaceful as it was beautiful. Even a few meters off the road, you just disappear into the forest and its amazing something so great is literally right on the edge of town.

The reason British Columbia has never disappointed me is because it has always amazed me. Beautiful British Columbia. Super, Natural British Columbia. Both are slogans used by their tourism departments, and they are aptly chosen. There is so much greatness there and when you arrive you wonder, “What took me so long?”

Top 5 Things to Do in Ucluelet 1. Just be. Ucluelet exudes a laid back vibe and there is no needed sense of urgency to do anything other than to just relax and to breathe the ocean air. And the aroma of a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The restaurants are pretty good also. Recommend Hanks Untraditional BBQ. 2. Whale watching. The area is home to the migration path of grey and humpback whales. I recommend Jamie’s Whaling Station as a guiding company to get close to one of the world’s largest animals.

3. Hiking. The Wild Pacific Trail is a network of 9km of oceanside trails right through town including a stand of 800 year old cedars. A 30 minute ride gets you to Pacific Rim National Forest where you have many hiking options.

4. Long Beach. Situated between Ucluelet and Tofino, this beach is huge, scenic and sees a million visitors a year for a reason.

5. Surfing. The west coast is a surfing hotspot. There are plenty of surf shops in the area to set you up.

We have a wide range of Halloween products catering to all ages so you can come up with the best Halloween ideas right on the spot.

candy bar brownies As I’m sure you’ve already figured out from my party articles here, I love a good party! A celebration wouldn’t be complete without some delicious desserts, so I’m excited to share a few of my favourite sweet treats with you. First up are delicious candy bar brownies. You can serve these cold or warm, with a scoop of ice cream on top or piled high with chopped chocolate bars, a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. They go great with just about anything! Well, not so great with your latest diet plan, but everything is okay in moderation, right?

Ingredients: • ¾ cup flour • ¾ cup cocoa, unsweetened • ¼ teaspoon salt • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened • ½ cup sugar • ½ cup brown sugar • 3 eggs • 2 teaspoons vanilla • 1 ½ cups chopped caramel chocolate bars (like Mars)

12. In a small saucepan, pour in the cream and bring to a boil on high heat.

13. Remove from heat and immediately pour over the chocolate chips. Let this sit for 5 minutes before stirring.
