Note from our Editor Have you ever gotten lost? Ever been so happily distracted that you forget about work, forget about chores, forget about the little things that just nag at you every day, and instead you just sit back and truly relax? I’ve gotten lost before. In a book, in a moment, in a place that I have been many times before but each time I return, I see something new. I love to be lost.

Unfortunately for many of us, the hustle and bustle of everyday life takes up most of our time. We wake up, get kids to where they need to be, go to work, try to cram in a run, make supper in a hurry (but never quite fast enough for the screaming toddler), rush to soccer practice, then home again just in time for a volunteer meeting, and maybe have enough time to squeeze in the latest episode of your favourite show on Netflix before, finally, heading to bed. *DEEP BREATH* Are you a little tired after reading all of that?

Maybe your life doesn’t contain the same activities, but you can relate to the feeling of wishing there was just a few more hours in the day, or, that you could have long weekends every weekend. Maybe you want to tell everyone around you to just, “GET LOST!” Luckily, summer is here. I don’t know if it’s because we have more hours of sunlight in a day, but even with the same amount of activities that we had over the winter, it seems just a little more tolerable to be so busy. The fact that holidays are just around the corner doesn’t hurt either.

Here’s to summer vacation. To taking time for yourself and your family, even if it’s just on a Wednesday evening. To BBQ’s and lazy lake days. To golfing and fishing in the rain. Here’s to forgetting about the world for a minute. Here’s to you. Get lost.

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 6, JUNE 2016

University of Regina President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Vianne Timmons’ passion for Aboriginal education began in 1980 when, fresh from earning her education degree at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., she took a job as a teacher in Granisle, B.C., teaching children on the Babine First Nations Reserve. It proved for her to be an experience that deepened her resolve to help the disenfranchised and underserved. “During my time in northern British Columbia I became passionate about Aboriginal education,” Timmons says. “I was seeing the same kinds of things that

around the proposal and the decision to shut down the program was overturned. The program remains strong to this day.

While the indigenization of campuses across Canada is just gaining momentum now, the roots of indigenization at the University of Regina date back to 1976. It was then that the University entered into an agreement with the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations to found the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC), at the time, the only First Nations controlled academ-

During my time in northern British Columbia I became passionate about Aboriginal education. I was seeing the same kinds of things that I saw working with children with intellectual disabilities. There was such potential in the children I worked with from the Babine First Nation and yet their potential was so under realized.

I saw working with children with intellectual disabilities. There was such potential in the children I worked with from the Babine First Nation and yet their potential was so under realized. It only added to my sense of frustration.”

Timmons, of Mi’kmaq heritage, vowed to turn her sense of frustration into action. Years later she found herself heading St. Francis Xavier (St. FX) University’s Faculty of Education during a colleague’s sabbatical. Her timing couldn’t have been worse. A rationalization study recommended the termination of teachers’ education programs at three institutions in the province, including St. FX. But Timmons helped turn the tide. Working closely with Nova Scotia’s Mi’kmaq First Nation, she proposed to revitalize the St. FX teachers’ education curriculum by specializing in Mi’kmaq education. The plan worked as the community rallied

ic institution in Canada. The SIFC has evolved into First Nations University of Canada, a unique Canadian institution that specializes in indigenous knowledge, providing post-secondary education for indigenous and non-indigenous students alike within a culturally supportive environment.

When Timmons was named president of the University in 2008 she dedicated herself to making an impact through indigenization. The first formalized efforts came with the unveiling of the University’s 2009-2014 strategic plan, mâmawohkamâtowin: Our Work, Our People, Our Communities. The Cree word mâmawohkamâtowin means “co-operation; working together towards common goals.” The goals set out in the plan were further articulated in the University’s most recent strategic plan, peyak aski kikawinaw, Cree for “we are one with Mother Earth.”

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 6, JUNE 2016 | 7

The University of Regina’s indigenization goals are designed to permeate all aspects of campus life. The expectation is that every faculty, department and all people – faculty, staff and students – will benefit from an indigenized campus.

The indigenization efforts at the University, which is located on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 territory, are, in part, designed to address the educational gap between Aboriginal Canadians and nonAboriginal Canadians. Canada’s Aboriginal population has been traditionally underserved by post-secondary education. In fact, an Aboriginal Canadian is three times less likely to have a degree than a non-Aboriginal person.

According to a 2011 report by Eric Howe, a professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Saskatchewan, closing the education gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people would increase GDP in Saskatchewan by $19.1 billion.

As Professor Howe puts it, injecting those dollars and those new employees into the provincial economy would result in the first ever made-in-Saskatchewan boom.

Statistics bear Howe out. In Saskatchewan, a First Nations woman with a bachelor’s degree earns nearly triple the lifetime earnings of her counterpart with only a high school diploma. For Aboriginal males, it’s nearly twice as much in lifetime earnings.

Cherish Jean-Baptiste (nee Deegan) was certainly one student who realized the benefits of a university education. She graduated from First Nations University of Canada, in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a focus on marketing. She works as a business consultant for Crown Investments Corporation and is the president of the First Nations and Métis Fund and First Nations Business Development Program.

Jean-Baptiste is also enriching her community in countless ways through her volunteerism. In 2015, she received a University of Regina Alumni Crowning Achievement Award which recognized her as the Outstanding Young Alumni of the year.

“I often promote the University of Regina’s excellence in Aboriginal programming,” says Jean-Baptiste. “The support system that the University of Regina now has makes them stand out over all other educational institutions across Canada.”

Since 2010, the University of Regina has seen a 63 per cent increase in the enrolment of Aboriginal students. Today, selfdeclared Aboriginal students make up about 12 per cent of the student body and Timmons is looking to build on that proportion in the years to come. She says, however, that indigenization is

more than just growing enrolments.

learning opportunities.

“The University of Regina’s indigenization goals are designed to permeate all aspects of campus life,” Timmons says. “The expectation is that every faculty, department and all people – faculty, staff and students – will benefit from an indigenized campus.”

The University’s Aboriginal Career Centre works with Aboriginal students to acquire career-related work experience and guides students’ transition into the workforce after graduation. The Centre provides co-operative education programs, summer internship programs as well as workshops on preparing resumes, job interview training and networking and job search techniques.

In recent years, a number of important initiatives have been implemented making the University of Regina a leader in demonstrating commitment to indigenous education with First Nations and Métis peoples.

Five years ago, the Aboriginal Advisory Circle was formed. The group consists of First Nations and Métis faculty and staff who provide recommendations to the University’s senior leadership to help address the challenges Aboriginal students face while pursuing post-secondary education. The group also works to build long-term relationships with First Nations and Métis communities and advises leadership on initiatives that keep the campus focused on meeting the needs of Aboriginal students, faculty and staff.

Additional resources, such as the expansion of the Aboriginal Student Centre, demonstrate the University of Regina’s commitment to realizing the potential of Aboriginal learners, their families and communities. All University of Regina learners are invited to be a part of the Aboriginal Student Center activities, events and

Through the Faculty of Education, teacher education partnerships have been established with the Yukon, Nunavut and in northern Saskatchewan via the Northern Teacher Education Program. More than 1,000 Aboriginal teachers have graduated with Bachelor of Education degrees over the past 30 years through the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program of the Gabriel Dumont Institute.

Timmons is also looking to expand the already robust indigenous research enterprise at the University. Researchers from across campus are working on numerous projects with partners from every corner of the province and beyond.

For example, Dr. Carrie Bourassa recently received a grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation to assist with the development of a world-class Cultural Safety Evaluation, Training and Research Lab. This lab will bring together indigenous communities and University researchers in order to examine ways to improve

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 6, JUNE 2016 | 9

the health of First Nations peoples and address inequities in the current health care system.

Other notable research projects include: Dr. Carmen L. Robertson’s examination of Norval Morriseau, an Anishinaabe artist who is one of Canada’s most significant painters; and Angela Snowshoe and Jolee Saskamoose’s collaboration regarding the need for culturally sensitive therapy with First Nations youth, and the need-service gap in service development and health policy.

The University Of Regina Press is also a large contributor to indigenous research on the University campus. They publish titles that address a number of relevant topics such as residential schools, historic denial of human rights, Métis history, food and disease in First Nations communities, and indigenous literature, language, and stories.

“Indigenizing a campus is about ensuring that First Nations and Métis knowledge and practices are reflected in all aspects of campus life – everything from curriculum development to campus design and incorporating Aboriginal ceremonies at convocations,” Timmons states. “In that way, indigenization of the University of Regina helps ensure that all of our students are prepared to live in a Saskatchewan where First Nations and Métis cultures are celebrated, honoured, and are in their rightful place in society.”

Should You Change Your Investment Mix Over Time?

CREATE YOUR PERSONAL LEGACY

We all wish the world could be a better place for our children and our children’s children. Yet, we have so little control over what happens as the world becomes a more unstable place to live.

So, what can we do?

One thing in our control is creating a legacy gift for the Sandra Schmirler Foundation in your will.

This is a wonderful and generous thing to do. The Sandra Schmirler Foundation has donated millions of dollars for the purchase of life-saving equipment for babies born premature and critically ill, in Saskatchewan and right across Canada.

Please call to receive a free copy of our new Legacy Guide.

To be successful at investing, some people think they need to “get in on the ground floor” of the next “big thing.” However, instead of waiting for that one “hot” stock that may never come along, consider creating an asset allocation – a mix of investments – that’s appropriate for your needs, goals and risk tolerance.

But once you have such a mix, should you keep it intact forever, or will you need to make some changes? And if so, when?

To begin with, why is asset allocation important? Different types of investments – growth stocks, income-producing stocks, international stocks, bonds, government securities, real estate investment trusts, and so on – have unique characteristics, so they rarely rise or fall at the same time. Thus, owning a mix of investments can help reduce the forces of market volatility. (Keep in mind, though, that asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.) Your particular mix will depend on your investment time horizon, comfort with risk, and financial goals.

When you are young, and starting out in your career, you may want your asset allocation to be more heavily weighted toward stocks and stock-based investments. Stock investments historically have provided the greatest returns over the long term – although, as you’ve probably heard, past performance can’t guarantee future results – and you will need this growth potential to help achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Stocks also carry a greater degree of investment risk, including the risk of losing principal, but when you have many years to invest, you have time to potentially overcome the inevitable short-term declines.

Once you reach the middle-to-later stages of your career, you may have achieved some of your goals that required wealth accumulation, such as sending your children to college or university. However, what is likely your biggest long-term goal – retirement – still awaits you, so you may not want to scale back too much on your stocks and other growth-oriented investments. Nonetheless, including an allocation to bonds can help to reduce some of the volatility of the stock portion of your portfolio.

Supported by:

ARE YOU AN ENTREPRENEUR WITH A DISABILITY? Whether you are 16 or 65, we offer disability supports and business services free of charge, so you can move forward with your vision of starting a business.

Some Support includeS: • Providing one-on-one or group training in business development.

• Reducing barriers, in terms of disability issues.

• Mentoring and consulting services.

Now, fast forward to just a few years before you retire. At this point, you may want to lower your overall risk level, because, with retirement looming, you don’t have much time to bounce back from downturns – and you don’t want to start withdrawing from your retirement accounts when your portfolio is already going PMS 5535 down. So, now may be the time to add bonds and other fixed-income investments.

Again, though, you still need some growth opportunities from your investments – after all, you could be retired for two, or even three decades.

Finally, you’re retired. At this point, you should adjust your asset allocation to include enough income-producing investments – bonds, perhaps dividend-paying stocks – to help you enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. Yet, you can’t forget that the cost of living will likely rise throughout your retirement. In fact, at a modest 3% inflation rate, the price of goods will more than double after 25 years. So even during retirement, you need your portfolio to provide some growth potential to help you avoid losing purchasing power.

Black By being aware of your asset allocation, and by making timely adjustments as necessary, you can provide yourself with the opportunities for growth and income that you will need throughout your life.

LIVING LEAN

with Holly Barker

Master the Season and Avoid the Typical Summer Sabotage.

Days at the beach, weekends at the lake, BBQ’s with your friends and family, pool days and picnics: all of these can often lead to fitness sabotage. If instead, you want to develop a method to help you achieve your fittest self and lifestyle, these tips will help you get there!

May long has come and gone, and this generally means that we are officially in the mood for those long summer days filled with great food, fun and sun!

Many times, while enjoying these fun activities and celebrations, we unknowingly sabotage our fitness.

Let’s reverse this, and let the fun in the sun only add to our health and fitness, and ultimately our healthiest lifestyle!

Event: A Day at the Beach, the Pool, the Waterslides: The Sabotage: It’s a super hot day so you are headed to the beach. You pack a picnic bag full of pre-packaged food and drinks that are cleverly labeled with anything but what they are…sugar. Even worse, you forget to pack anything at all to eat or drink. This may lead to making a desperate stop at the convenience stand or, worse, not eating at all.

Tip: Prepare your Fuel. Pack a cooler full of water, nuts, protein, fruit, veggies and, if possible, create some healthy treats ahead of time that you can grab for occasions just like today. *Don’t let your hunger tell you when you are hungry. Make eating an important appointment you keep throughout your day, even on days at the beach. Just make sure your meals are small enough to not make you feel bloated or sluggish, or pack your meals all together and snack throughout the day.

Drink water before anything else. Hydration is important for energy levels and controlling cravings.

Tip: Move. Don’t just lie on the beach, play on the beach! Bring a ball and find your playful self. We all know that too much lounging in the sun is not a great thing for your skin. Find a spot of shade and work up a sweat with your friends in a fun game of whatever you can think up! Better yet, go for a swim!

Event: Weekend at the Lake The Sabotage: Wanting an escape from your routine, you rely on packaged or fast foods and forget all about your weekly fitness routines.

Tip: Prepare Your Fuel. Pack a cooler from all the great food choices you have in your fridge at home. Keep plenty of water available and carry your water jug with you to the store, on the beach,

12 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 6, JUNE 2016

in the boat…you will be less likely to grab for the sugar drink or snack if you have your water by your side. It’s always a smart idea to cook a few protein choices in bulk and cut up fresh veggies of all sorts.

Portion out into zip lock bags to easily grab and go for whatever lake adventure you have ahead.

Tip: Move. Download the Total Body Fitness Challenge App. No equipment required, if you are on the beach, this is even better! Do alone or get a group of friends and family together and sweat! Workouts are free to enjoy wherever and for all fitness types. The timing is done for you, the exercises are made up for you and the app includes all how to’s with great photos and videos. Enjoy!

**Avoid milk based drinks or prepared mixes that contain a lot of sugar.

BONUS: RECIPE None Alcoholic Blended Beverage that will have you thinking it’s too good to not be naughty: 1 cup ice cubes ¼ cup ice water ¼ - ½ cup Coconut Milk 2-3 drops coconut Stevia ½ lemon squeezed 1 scoop Magnum Nutraceuticals Hi 5 (Find at Anytime Fitness Regina)

If you do not have access to an IPhone or the Total Body Fitness Challenge App do this workout to get your body moving:

¼ Avocado

Workout:

This is a drink you can enjoy on any sunny day or at any gathering. It will help hydrate you and keep your healthiest self right on track!

3 sets with 20 seconds of rest in between each set 3x Skip for 30 seconds, putting emphasis on really skipping your knees high on each side 3x Jumping Jacks for 30 seconds, putting emphasis on really spreading your legs and hands at the top of the movement 3x Side Lunge 10/side 3x Sit up to Stand up 20 3x Bear Crawl 20 steps 3x Bicycle Knees 20 knee switches 3x Burpees 10 Stretch and relax Way to go!

Event: BBQ with Friends and Family The Sabotage: ALCOHOL! Tip: Prepare Your Fuel. Bring your own alcohol if you plan to indulge, but also bring water (and drink it!) and tasty additions for your beverage.

Hangover Cure: If the summer festivities are leaving you dehydrated, combat that headache with this amazing fix!

1 scoop Magnum Nutraceauticals Hi 5 (Find at Anytime Fitness Regina) + ½ lemon squeezed on iced water.

The main theme with anything you do to stay on track is to be prepared, think ahead, and put forth the effort when it is your goals are at risk of sabotage. Putting your success first is always worth it and makes everything that you do along the way more enjoyable and memorable.

Carry your weekly routine through your weekends and holidays. Make moving your body a priority each day and keep foods fresh, not processed, packaged or fried. If celebrations include alcohol or sugar beverages, keep them to a minimum. Moderation is key and we can only expect the results of the effort we put in.

Your best self requires 100% effort each day, regardless of whether it is a Monday or a Saturday.

Add citrus to your drink such as orange, lemon, lime. This amps up the flavor and freshness without adding a bunch of sugar.

New Venture: Sign up for workouts, recipes, tips and my FitnessPreneur Formula Course Launching soon at www.thefitnesspreneur.com

Add sparkling water to your drink. It adds the fun carbonation without the calories and cuts down the alcohol calories that you will be sipping on.

Add Frozen Berries to your drink. It amps up the sweetness without adding a bunch of processed sugars and is a great way to keep your drink cold.

#STYLELIVESHERE

By Michelle Strawford

#REBECCAKING

Equestrian. Modern. Cozy.

3. Where do you find inspiration to create your designs?

Saskatchewan is rich in design and artistic talent. We are blessed to also live in a place that fosters, supports and celebrates fashion talent. BELLA CHIC is thrilled to be adding the REBECCA KING line to our collection. I had the opportunity to sit down with Rebecca to tap into this incredibly talented mind!

A lot of the details I apply have been used in my clothing for the past 10 years. I have details that I will always love and they give the brand a consistency and feel. I love equestrian, masculine, modern, military, mixed with cozy styles.

1. What are your first memories of loving fashion and wanting to become a designer?

I have a typical story of a kid who grows up to be a fashion designer. My earliest memory was when I was around 5 years old and I would glue fabric on paper and try to sell it to people. My mom likes to tell the story about how I always cut right in the middle of the fabric and drove her crazy.

I am the youngest of 5 kids and the only one to really take an interest in sewing. My mom taught me in junior high and from then on I spent a lot of high school sewing my own clothing. It was in grade nine when my older sister told me that being a Fashion Designer was a really job. I went to design school after graduating and here I am coming up on my 11 year anniversary in business.

2. What is your favorite part about being a fashion designer?

I love beauty; creating something new and beautiful gets me so excited.

The process can be frustrating at times. It usually goes something like this: daydream up a new design or detail, sketch it out and it looks good on paper. Draft the pattern, sew up the first prototype and… you don’t like it.

Change one thing, sew it again, and it gets a little better. I typically sew at least 6 prototypes before I am happy with the garment. Once all the hard work is done, getting to watch your garments in a photo shoot or fashion show is a big treat.

4. What do women look for when they come to purchase REBECCA KING? Can you tell us why your line has become so successful?

My customers are looking for something comfortable that looks good.

Something they can get away with wearing to work, but they still love it for personal use. Something they will wear ALL the time and never want to take off. My garments are made out of structured knits so they look sharp but are very comfortable and easy to wear. I design for everyone; many people are not used to dressing fashionably, so they feel like they can pull this off as it’s not too far outside of their comfort zone, and they look fantastic. For others who are used to dressing up all the time, this is a great way to look fashionable all the time, even on the days when you feel like being comfy and cozy. My brand is 100% made in Canada which drives the prices up, and for people who like to support local the price is very good. For those who are not used to Canadian made prices, I still sell at a very manageable price point with everything being between $100-$250.

5. What are your plans for the future? Where will REBECCA KING be in 10 years?

Because I have spent most of my career working from the prairies, it has been a long and slow learning process. Right now I am trying to keep up with demand as it takes me around 6 months to produce a design, and it sells out in about 2 months. Production and fabric in Canada is limited, so it is hard to keep up with a lack of resources. My next big step is to attend New York Textile Week this summer. Once I have more fabrics/quantities available to me, I will be able to look at going across Canada in the retail market. Currently I have about a dozen stores in Western Canada. I always have a hard time answering questions about the future because I am just a small town girl and I never expected to be where I am today. Every step is a surprise and a blessing from God to me. I just keep taking the next most logical step and see where that takes me. I don’t like to set goals in the future that I don’t understand. I only go for something once I can see it in front of me and it makes sense to proceed.

Women We Won’t Forget Remembering Great Saskatchewan Women

Michele Sereda November 4, 1965 - February 10, 2015

By Roger MacPherson

Over the years Michele gained a wealth of experience on international stages, working in a variety of venues. Her sister shared that Michele was always a student of people and would often spend hours just sitting in shopping malls and studying personalities. She was not intimidated by circumstance, and tried her hand at many vocations as she crafted her skills.

Among the many jobs she tackled, she performed as an actress in dinner theatre. On one occasion that she related to her family, she served as a waitress ‘in character’. She laughingly reported that her performance was so convincing as a member of the cast playing a disgruntled employee that complaints were made to the management about the waitress. She had become so immersed in her character the customers did not recognize her as an actress playing a role. Michele’s ability to transform herself into an integral part of any human environment was truly remarkable.

Michele Sereda was a major figure in Regina’s arts community for a number of decades. Her vision, passion and unique perspective inspired communication through drama, choreography and song. Many who struggled to find a means of expression found their voice through her work. Her energy inspired and nurtured understanding through shared experience in performance.

Born in Foam Lake Saskatchewan to a farming family, Michele Sereda established her independent spirit early in life. At age 3, her sister Karen (Last), remembers that Michele naturally became the centre of attention whenever there were others around. It became apparent that little Michele had an innate drive to communicate with or without words. This began as soon as she could walk, and became her life’s legacy.

Michele always marched to her own internal drumbeat. According to her sister Karen, Michele’s nature and personality did not always fit with the small rural community school crowd. She was indifferent to any criticism, and had an indomitable spirit driven by her own unique vision to express herself in different ways. Graduating from high school, she left Foam Lake to attend the University of Regina where she eventually obtained a degree in Fine Arts. Thus began her journey into the hearts of people around the world through her passion for performing to any audience.

18 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 6, JUNE 2016

Michele’s passion for performing eventually lead to the creation of an experimental, inter- disciplinary theatre organization, based in Regina called ‘Curtain Razors’ which she founded in 1989. Curtain Razors presented twenty-six productions, nineteen of which were original creations performed in a wide variety of spaces throughout Regina. She cultivated a nomadic

audience, one willing to follow the company from place to place. In 2010, Curtain Razors devised Cyclone Podwalk, a set of site-specific poetic and fantastic fictional podplay musings by Ken Wilson. The series took participants on a walk that followed the path of the Regina Tornado of 1912. Where The Thunderbird Lives, another unique production, was a collaboration created by Skookum Sound System and Curtain Razors.

With all of these ventures, Michele Sereda pioneered a new and innovative way to use performing arts as a means of engaging her audience while fostering a deeper emotional connection with the subject matter.

Michele also shared her passion for the arts through teaching.

She became a faculty member of the University of Regina’s theatre department and was an instructor in workshops around the province. She found a ready student audience for her passion for drama in Saskatchewan’s First Nation communities.

Alan Long is the general manager at the Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company (SNTC) in Saskatoon and was mentored

by Sereda while he was a student at the University of Saskatchewan. “She was a wonderful communicator and a great teacher. I know many in the acting community would attest to that,” he said. She also gave him his first professional acting job outside of Saskatoon in a play in Regina called The Room With Five Walls. “It was a great experience and I learned so much from her.” Long also explained that SNTC’s artistic director Curtis Peeteetuce was recently billeted by Michele while he performed in Regina. He described her as “a wonderful mentor, she had so many insights into theatre and gave him books to read, “Long relayed. “He said he couldn’t wait to get home from rehearsal back to her place each night just to talk.”

Appropriately, Sereda later received the Mayor Arts and Business Award for Living the Arts in 2013.

Michele often collaborated and mentored others in the arts

community, forging partnerships and creating an expanding circle of followers and devotees. At the height of her career, Michele’s life was tragically cut short when she and 3 other prominent members of the arts community were victims in a fatal traffic accident.

Michele has left a legacy which will be difficult to replace.

Many who were marginalized in society had been given a voice through performance that they could not find any other way.

They have Michele to thank for this gift of expression. Wherever Michele went, she brought people together and provided enriching experiences, deeper understanding and meaningful communication.

The impression left by Michele’s life was well expressed in some of the remarks made at her funeral: “Your memory now, a dream that plays in my heart every day, every moment…Dear friend, rest in peace” Saskatchewan can boast about another woman whose contributions to our culture have made a difference all over the world.

Michele Sereda will always have a place on that special roster.

HIKING THE WAVE IN NORTHERN ARIZONA

Only 20 people per day are allowed to visit the Wave in Arizona. I was lucky to be one of them.

ground on the border between Arizona and Utah, only a mile from the trailhead parking lot.

Located in the Paria Canyon Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness of Northern Coyote Buttes in northern Arizona, the wave is a 190-million-year-old sand-turned-rock formation admired by photographers and hikers.

The rock uniquely curves and swirls orange creamsicle and marshmallow coloured Navajo sandstone together in undulating dunes and u-shaped troughs eroded by wind.

The next morning dawned gloomy and rainy as expected. By 10 a.m. the clouds and rain had lifted enough for us to take a chance on hiking the 6.4 mile return route in hopes of staying dry. Continuing our lucky streak, the rain tapered off to only a drizzle for more than six hours – enough to complete our trek.

I spent three days trying to obtain one of only 10 permits in a lottery at the Grand Staircaise-Escalante National Monument visitor centre in Kanab, Utah. Each morning, my friend and I drove from our campsite into town and submitted our names with more than one hundred other tourists. Ten permits are given out in an online lottery four months in advance with the remaining ten permits drawn for in person the day before the hike. Selecting the names bingo-style, our assigned lucky number 11 was pulled first.

Getting the seven-dollar permit was only half the challenge. The next barrier was to navigate the unmaintained eight-mile-long clay road to reach the trailhead. With thunderstorms and rain forecasted for the desert, the access road would be impassable in our 2002 Buick Century. So we headed out before the rain to the Stateline Camp-

With no marked trail to follow across the open desert and unreliable GPS due to the iron oxide in the rocks, a brochure of directions and six checkpoint photographs guided us to the Wave.

More impressive than photos can depict, the Wave and surrounding sandstone formations were dramatic. Spending several hours photographing and playing along the thin ridges and ribbing of the rolling sandstone, we also explored further into Northern Coyote Buttes.

Visiting a second, smaller wave and a sandy wash at the base of several alcoves, we admired formations that looked like cauliflower heads and melting orange sherbet.

A psychedelic landscape best experienced in solitude, we appreciated the absence of other tourists. As the rain began to fall once more, we waved goodbye to the Wave and started the three-mile trek back to the shelter and warmth of our car.

house master home inspections

know your home

by Jessica Forbes

In this month’s article I address the importance of completing a home inspection. Home Inspections are frequently a condition when a house is sold and are often used to identify issues prior to placing a property for sale. Armed with this information, a prospective seller can make improvements before the home is listed for sale. Throughout my career as a REALTORŽ, I have come across homes that have not been maintained for a variety of reasons. The lack of maintenance and subsequent problems usually become an issue during the sales process. A qualified home inspector can identify any hidden or less obvious problems that a home may have.

Home Inspectors can also identify safety issues in the home.

Structural, electrical, fire hazard and air quality issues can be identified, and potential solutions recommended.

Jim Nichols of House Master Home Inspections, who is a qualified home inspector, shares his thoughts on some commonly asked questions that we encounter in the Real Estate Industry: 1. What part of the home do you feel requires the most attention and maintenance the most regularly?

Drainage is the most important and easiest to correct and is most often left forgotten. Ensure water can drain away from

the foundation. The downspout discharge must be far enough away from the foundation. Check for soil erosion to determine where the water is directed. Also be sure that the gutters are cleaned out to avoid back up of the drainage system, especially after a storm. Sump pumps should also be monitored to ensure good working order.

2. What is the most common mistake that you find home owners unknowingly do poorly or incorrectly which result in damage to a home?

Air to air exchangers should be serviced to avoid build up of pet hair and dander. Those with pets in the home should clean the air exchanger on a monthly basis, and those without should try to do it quarterly. Homes with plenty of carpet will affect this system more as well. Be sure to check the air intake vent outside, as it can easily get dirty and clogged. This is especially important in a new home, or an area with unfinished landscaping or debris from new development nearby.

3. Being that we have long and cold winters and extreme weather changes, please tell us your procedure for ice damming prevention?

Proper ventilation is the most critical point to prevent ice damming. One and a half storey wartime homes typically do not have proper ventilation, and the very minimal attic space does not allow the option to add ventilation. Removing snow from the roof or adding de-icing lines may be the only solutions to this issue. Houses with full attics should have an adequate number of attic vents. There should be at least 1 square foot of ventilation installed for every 300 square feet of attic space.

4. What are the most common hazard and safety issues that you have encountered when completing home inspections that home owners need to pay more attention to?

Electrical, Fire Safety & Carbon Monoxide Properties of the mid 60s to mid 70s may have aluminum wiring. Qualified inspectors can determine if the house has aluminum or copper wiring. Aluminum wiring should be inspected once every 2 years to reduce the risk of a fire hazard. Watch for warm light switches and electrical outlets.

Jim Nichols 24 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 6, JUNE 2016

Be sure to test your smoke detectors monthly. Check your car-

bon monoxide detectors monthly and ensure there is no discoloration. Should the detector(s) be discoloured, replace them.

Mould & Asbestos Mould growth can result from a broken exhaust fan, improper air to air settings or no air to air system.

5. Considering we have a gumbo like soil and harsh hot and cold weather conditions in Regina, please give me your thoughts on prevention of foundation damage, and what to look for to ensure a home is adequately reinforced?

Proper drainage the most essential way to prevent damage to the foundation, this is why it has been referred to as a key

form of maintenance for your home. Should you have any concerns about the foundation in your home, a Certified Engineers Report should be obtained with instructions on how to repair.

Things to watch for when observing bracing include checking that 5� braces are current code (old code was 4�), and that they are spread a maximum of 4 ft apart from each other. Braces should be cemented into the floor, as well as blocked and fastened at the top. Grouting between brace and wall ensures continuous contact. Blocking is required at the top, fastened to the floor joists. A non-shrink grout is to be installed between the concrete foundation and the wall brace.

easy summer party ideas

The warmer weather has arrived & the summer party season is quickly approaching. Do you have any summer parties planned? A special birthday? A graduation? A neighbourhood block party? Maybe a family reunion? There are plenty of easy ways to plan a summer shindig so you can spend less time planning and more time enjoying your summer!

summer party theme ideas :

creams, ice cream sandwiches, ice cream cones, waffle bowls, candy, individually wrapped chocolate bars, crushed cookies, brownies, toasted coconut, fresh berries, whipped cream, fudge sauce, gummy bears and lots of sprinkles!

BBQ Party: One of the most popular themes for summer parties is a BBQ party. Simply set up some cozy seating areas in the backyard and grill up some classics like hamburgers and steaks with a side of mom’s famous potato salad.

Hawaiian Luau: With colourful floral decorations, delicious party food like grilled pineapple and pulled pork sandwiches, and fun party games like the limbo, this party has something for all ages.

Pool Party: A fun way to cool off is by taking a dip in an outdoor pool. No pool in your yard? No problem! You could set up a fun water playground in the backyard for kids with things like water toys, water balloons, sprinkler toys and a kid-sized pool.

Ice Cream Buffet: Who doesn’t love a big bowl of ice cream topped with chocolate & sprinkles on a hot summer day? An ice cream buffet is really easy to set up with a quick trip to the grocery store. Some delicious ideas include a variety of ice

Camping Party: For the younger guests, you could set up tents in the backyard for a campout party complete with a delicious s’mores buffet.

Movie Under The Stars: With some cozy seating, blankets, pillows and a large screen with a projector, you could set up a movie night in your own backyard. Don’t forget the concession stand with popcorn, candy and drinks!

Bubbles: Simply set out a variety of bubble mixes & wands for the kids to play with. You could also search Google for a “giant bubble” recipe to help the kids make huge bubbles!

Water Games: A kid-sized pool could be filled with magnetic fish for a fishing game, squirt toys could be used to knock down targets, mini water balloons could be used for a dodgeball game, or simply put on the sprinklers and let the kids run around the yard.

Treasure Hunt: You could set up clues for the kids to solve that leads them to a treasure or you could simply hide little treasures in the sandbox and give them tools to dig for the treasure.

summer party activities : Depending on the ages of your party guests, you may want to have a few outdoor games planned to keep them entertained.

Here are some easy activity ideas for kids: Childhood Games: Remember the games you used to play as a kid like What Time Is It Mr. Wolf or Red Rover? You can teach the kids to play some of these fun games with little to no supplies needed!

Sidewalk Chalk: Set out some sidewalk chalk and have the kids draw some pictures or create a few games for them like a large tic-tac-toe game, hopscotch, or have them draw roadways and mazes for toy cars.

Sports Games: You could set out some sporting equipment (basketball, badminton rackets, football, etc.) and leave the kids to create their own teams & games or you could assign an adult at the party to coach a game for the kids.

I hope your next party is filled with special memories and lots of ice cream!
