Art deco with a side of Sin City

By Sean Trembath WHO? Colleen Wilson, director of design for Mid-West Group and Meridian Development WHAT/WHERE? The Nexus Building in Saskatoon, which houses the new corporate headquarters for both companies as well as several tenants.

WHEN? The grand opening was Aug. 12, but Mid-West and Meridian have been working there since March and some tenants have been there more than two years. The design process started about four years ago, when they decided on the lot at 450 Second Avenue North.

WHY? Wilson and husband Ken Achs, the president and CEO of Mid-West and Meridian, knew five years ago they needed to start looking for a new, permanent corporate headquarters. Wilson was excited at the idea of designing the entire space from the ground up.

HOW? “It’s a little New York, a little Chicago and a little Las Vegas,” says Wilson of her design inspirations.

The overarching design philosophy of the building is art deco, inspired by the classic architecture Wilson grew to love on trips to New York.

“I don’t have to be convinced very hard to do art deco. It’s my favourite. I’ve always loved art deco buildings,” she says.

From Chicago, she took the elements of high-polished stainless steel seen in many of the building’s features, from the sign out front to the meticulouslydesigned bases on the building’s desks and conference tables.

Wilson also wanted to add a little overthe-top flair, or “bling,” and for that she looked to Sin City.

The bathrooms — including some hidden behind doors that look like part of a regular wall in certain offices — are luxurious, with high ceilings and custom fixtures.

T H ESTA R P H O E N I X .CO M / B R I D G ES

SPACES Almost everything in the building was built to Wilson’s specifications.

“A lot of the things in here couldn’t be done locally. What we could do locally we did,” Wilson says.

The chandelier in the main foyer is made of hundreds of unique pieces of glass, each individually-blown by an artist. These pieces were hand-wired to a frame by Wilson and an employee.

It took more than a week.

Wilson says their design conversations went as far as the type of stitching you see on the corner of the padding that runs the length of their massive boardroom table.

“It’s really hard when you’re designing for yourself. You think you know what you want, but you’re second guessing yourself continually,” she says.

Although she seems happy to have the whole process done with, Wilson gets a lot of satisfaction from the finished product.

“It was certainly exciting, or interesting, but there were times when I just didn’t know if we were going to get the amount of detail we wanted in. To the guys’ credit, they did.” she says.

“When I look around, and see what it look like, it’s like (what) I had it in my mind.”

It’s amazing to go to a place that’s worldrenowned for their care of OI kids.

Shriners keep giving hope and care to sick kids

Doctors told Carter Brown’s parents he would never walk because he has osteogenesis imperfecta. After receiving treatments at the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Canada, he’s able to run. SUBMITTED PHOTO

By Jenn Sharp Carter Brown was just three weeks old and already had 12 bone fractures.

Doctors in Regina told his parents, Jenn and Mike, the fractures happened in utero and during his first weeks of life. Carter has osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The painful

disorder is also called brittle bone disease.

Doctors told the Brown family Carter would never walk. If he tried, his bones would shatter. In severe pain, he cried during diaper changes and his arm would break if he was rolled over the wrong way. Thinking there was no treatment for OI, they were despondent, wondering what

life would hold for their little boy.

Then, Jenn got a call from another parent whose child also had OI. They had been to the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Canada in Montreal, where researchers had developed a drug called Pamidronate to treat the condition. A week after applying to the Wa Wa Shriners in Regina, they were on their way to Montreal for

the first of dozens of treatments that would change their lives forever.

■ ■ ■ ■ The Shriners started as a branch of the Masons in 1870 in New York City. The highly secretive Masons wanted a public arm — Shriners are known for their circuses, marching

bands and parade performances.

The first Shriners hospitals opened in the 1920s to care for polio victims.

They now operate 22 hospitals in North America that specialize in pediatric care. Orthopedic and burn care, treatment for spinal cord injuries, and for cleft lip and palate is offered at each hospital; some specialize in one area.

They get wonderful treatment at that hospital. We will support as many kids as get accepted by the (medical board).

– Howard Louie

The sole Canadian hospital in Montreal is a pioneer in treating musculoskeletal conditions and offers specialized care in pediatric orthopedics. It also has a state-of-theart research facility.

In August, a 17-year-old patient became the first in Canada to undergo a minimally invasive surgery for a chest wall deformity at the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Canada. The innovative treatment was also developed there.

Shriners clubs (Saskatchewan has 17) make it possible for patients and families to get to their hospitals.

Once a patient has been accepted by the medical panel, his or her flight is paid for, along with one parent.

Hotel rooms, meals, transportation, mileage to Regina or Saskatoon, and an expenses stipend is also paid. A Shriner member even meets them at the airport and takes them to their hotel, where families stay on the

Shriners floor.

It’s as close to Disneyland as it gets. The child meets others with his condition, gets incredible care, and parents can focus on his health without financial worries taking over.

Howard Louie is the regional hospital chair with the Wa Wa Shriners in Regina. He co-ordinates the hospital visits for the Wa Wa’s patients — all 78 so far in 2014.

“They get wonderful treatment at that hospital,” he says.

There’s no maximum for the amount of kids they’ll send.

“We will support as many kids as get accepted by the (medical board),” says Louie.

We do every little thing we can think of to help raise money for our hospitals. The end result all focuses on children.

That’s what we’re all about. — David Paul

“We’re world leaders in our field,” says Paul of the specialized care at Shriners hospitals.

“We’re not trying to replace the current hospitals,” adds Louie.

“We’re augmenting.”

They have no problems recruiting doctors either.

“They want to come and work for us,” says Louie.

CARTER BROWN OI is characterized by bones that lack collagen. The genetic disorder keeps people that haven’t received treatment in wheelchairs. Babies can die from respiratory complications.

“When he was really tiny, we felt hopeless for most of the time because he was in so much pain,” says Jenn.

She, Mike, Carter and Finn, 2, live near Milestone where Mike farms.

“In Regina. basically they told us that there was no treatment and no

medicine that he could take. They would just basically cast him whenever he broke,” says Jenn.

Not only is Carter, 7, walking, he also runs, jumps and plays karate.

For Louie, Carter’s experience defines the reason he works with the Shriners.

“It brings tears to my eyes,” he says of Carter’s new lease on life.

The first time the Browns visited the Shriners Hospitals for ChildrenCanada, Carter was started on Pamidronate. It took away his constant bone pain. It also increased his bone density to reduce his fracture risk.

“He got the treatment right away because the doctors in Montreal said just looking at his face, you could tell he was in so much pain,” says Jenn.

After the third day of the treatment, he started sleeping through the night and stopped crying during diaper changes.

“It completely changed his life from the first time we went out there.”

The family has made 37 trips to Montreal for the treatment, which he required every eight weeks as a baby.

Carter also had two telescopic rods implanted to make his legs straighter and stronger. The rods don’t allow untreated bone to develop and

have grown with him. The doctor who invented the rods was also Carter’s surgeon.

“It’s amazing to go to a place that’s world-renowned for their care of OI kids,” says Jenn.

Now, he goes every 16 weeks and receives half of the original dose because he responded so well.

I don’t want (Milania) to know the word ‘can’t.’ If you want to do (anything), you’ll figure out a way.

We didn’t want to raise her with a disability. – Desiree Cadrain

“It’s been amazing. The Shriners pay for our flights, our hotels ... he’s got a walker, a wheelchair in case he fractures his legs — they’ve definitely helped us on the financial aspect of it.”

The Browns are thankful for the preventative care at the hospital, too. Unfortunately, Carter’s spine curved early in life. His scoliosis was severe enough to require surgery, which would not have been possible on a twoyear-old. Instead, he wears a full torso brace to slow the progression. Carter’s an active boy and has grown up in the confines of the brace. It’s made his back straighter.

“It’s not only slowed the progression, but it’s got better which they said doesn’t really happen,” says Jenn.

The medical care aside, there’s another huge positive of going to the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Canada. Carter has grown up knowing other kids with his condition, that share the same limits. He can’t play hockey or other high risk sports. Climbing trees is out, too.

“We never had times when he felt alone. He’s always had other people that he knows that have OI. That’s an incredibly valuable thing to be able to have for him.”

Carter is the western Canadian ambassador for the new hospital’s fundraising campaign.

He set himself a personal fundraising goal of $1,000 which he quickly surpassed. He’s currently raised more than $22,000 through everything from lemonade stands to cookie sales.

He also gives public talks about the Shriners, and encourages audiences to donate. He even spoke at a large golf fundraising event for the new hospital in Montreal.

The event raised $506,000.

“He speaks in front of crowds really well,” says Jenn. “He really knows how much (the Shriners) have changed his life ... that’s always part of what he speaks about.”

The community in Milestone has been fantastic. They held a fundraiser that’s lasted the fam-

ily for years. Mike joins Jenn and Carter on every trip to Montreal so they’re there as a family.

MILANIA CADRAIN Milania Cadrain’s parents found out she didn’t have legs before she was born.

Desiree Cadrain, Nathan Glover and their son Gabriel (4), had gone to an ultrasound to determine the baby’s sex when Desiree was 20 weeks pregnant.

“This poor ultrasound doctor.

I just saw his face (and asked) ‘why are you focusing so much on her leg area? Why can’t you see her legs?’ I knew something was wrong,” says Desiree.

Nathan was angry, but says Desiree’s influence was “powerful.”

“God puts things in your path that you can handle. We have a lot of love to give,” she says.

“I can’t imagine not having Milania,” adds Nathan. “Anybody that gets to spend any time with her just melts and falls in love with her.”

Milania has amniotic band syndrome. It can happen when the inner lining of the amniotic sac breaks off and wraps around limbs. In Milania’s case, it wrapped around the upper part of her left leg and just above her right knee, cutting off the circulation.

Knowing about her condition so early was a big help as it let the family prepare and mourn the loss of her legs. It also gave Desiree time to cement a life philosophy for the active little blondhaired girl.

“I don’t want her to know the word ‘can’t.’ If you want to do (anything), you’ll figure out a way. We didn’t want to raise her with a disability.”

The hardest part was the fear of other people’s reactions. Desiree didn’t want anyone staring at her little girl. It happens though — one day at the pool, an open-mouthed woman even followed them.

It’s nice to have specialists that deal with it all the time and know that we’re in the best hands. They live for helping kids and want to make their life the best as possible. — Desiree Cadrain

Prosthetics could be made for Milania in Saskatoon but the family chose to go to the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Canada because they specialize in fitting children.

“At the first glance of Milania in Saskatoon, the urgency wasn’t there to get her fitted. (They said) ‘maybe we’ll fit her for her first set around 18 months.’ I was very stressed out as a mother who wants her child to develop at a normal rate,” says Desiree.

The Saskatoon Shrine club’s hospital chair at the time, Ken Sparrow, quickly set up their first visit when Milania was four months old.

“It’s such a big relief, like a weight has been lifted off of you,” adds Desiree. “They make you feel right at home there.”

What they thought would be a one-day consult, turned into a week stay because the doctors wanted to

make prosthetics that would help her sit up on her own.

The family is due back for a third set (the second set was made in Saskatoon). This time, they’ll be fitting Milania for walking prosthetics.

“It’s nice to have specialists that deal with it all the time and know that we’re in the best hands. They live for helping kids and want to make their life the best as possible,” says Desiree.

Desiree is due to have a boy on Christmas Eve. They were scared it would happen again. Going into the 20-week ultrasound was especially nerve-racking.

But everything is normal. Nathan points to an ultrasound picture on the fridge: “He’s giving the thumbs up: ‘I’m OK.’ ” jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

LOCA L AUT H ORS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

WES FUNK

Saskatoon novelist tackles autobiography in Wes Side Story Several years back, when I was discussing one of my novels with a reader, she surprised me with a nonchalant comment. “So, you’re a fiction writer eh? So, you just make a bunch of stuff up and write it down?” That statement really took me aback! I can guarantee, there’s a whole lot more to fiction-writing than spewing out yarns.

A novel takes endless hours of hard work and plenty of dedication.

Regardless, I took the young lady’s statement as a challenge. I’d already had numerous pieces of memoir hammered out, so one day I simply decided to weave them together into an autobiography.

This book has been an enormous undertaking. Writing down my entire life has taken

From my time as an awkward, pop-cultureobsessed kid in rural Sask. and coming of age in the ’80’s, to my escapades as a Saskatoonbased novelist and TV personality, I feel there is something in this memoir for everyone.

years and has been one of my biggest challenges. Regardless, I am so glad I took the plunge.

Wes Funk is a Saskatchewan-based writer, who has dedicated his craft to telling stories which reflect his life. His Dead Rock Stars has been incorporated into both university and high school curricula. Funk’s novel Cherry Blossoms has been a pick for several book clubs across Canada and won the 2013 National CBC Bookie Award. Besides being an author, Wes is currently the host of the Saskatchewan TV program Lit Happens. He enjoys life with his partner and pets on Saskatoon’s trendy Broadway Avenue.

Here’s a few new things to try. Send me a note when you do and let me know what you think! jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

TUILE

The Tuile at Cafe Francais. BRIDGES PHOTO BY JENN SHARP

Cafe Francais 425 Victoria Ave., Regina This pretty Parisian spot is my favourite new addition to Regina’s coffee culture. You really can’t go wrong with any of the pastries here, but the tuile ($1.48) is definitely one to try.

The cafe’s classicallytrained pasty chef creates these delicate, sweet curved wafers with a sprinkling of shaved almonds. Paired with an expertly crafted latte, it’s the perfect afternoon treat.

MUSCLE PANDA MUFFINS — WHITE CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO

Muscle Panda at Regina Farmers’ Market At $3 for two, these little protein-filled muffins pack a healthy punch. They’re also full of veggies, like spinach and butternut squash, contain next to no sugar and are gluten free (if you care about that kind of thing).

THE O.G. GRILLED CHEESE Vic’s Tavern 1965 Hamilton St., Regina The downtown dining scene is heating up in Regina, thanks to new hot spots like Vic’s Tavern. The building first opened in 1923. After a big reno project, it’s reopened as an eclectic and fun tavern serving up some pretty damn good food. Grilled cheese is the house specialty — if you’re going to eat grilled cheese, go big or go home.

That means you need to order the O.G, ($12.50). It apparently stands for Original Gangster; I think it more apt to say Oh God. The four-cheese blend is piled high between thick slices of white bread. Pair it with Vic’s Alphabet Soup — homemade smoked tomato — for one heck of a power lunch.

Three Farmers’ has released their much-anticipated snack product — roasted chickpeas. I picked up a few bags from Riversdale Deli in Saskatoon ($5 per bag) but they’re sold all over the place. The balsamic and cracked pepper are pretty spicy. Mix a handful with the sweet and smoky barbecue flavour for a nutritious, locally-made snack.

MPowered 227A Second Ave. S., Saskatoon (entrance is beside Otowa) Personal trainer Mitch Gauvin has created a reward for his clients and the rest of us that won’t make you feel guilty. A pint ($10) of MPowered Powerscream ice cream is packed with 50 g of rice protein. To round out the flavour profile, he uses coconut milk, coconut oil and a touch of honey. The vanilla flavour has vanilla bean and extract added; the chocolate has pure cocoa.

It doesn’t matter if you hit the weights or not, this creamy treat does the body good.

Saskatoon Farmers’ Market The wild blueberries, picked north of La Loche, were fresh last week, with more on the way. At $40 for a large tray and $20 for a container, they’re not the cheapest indulgence but well worth it if you love berries.

Saskatchewan wild blueberries are small and pop open in your mouth in a sweet little burst.

RAW CHOCOLATE

Those Girls at the Market, Saskatoon Farmers’ Market I think these two could sell just about anything to anyone, but the fact that they sell chocolate makes their stand at the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market a very busy spot. It’s not just any old kind of chocolate either. It’s healthy, raw and organic, but more importantly

— it’s delicious. There’s just three ingredients in the base — cacao paste, cacao butter and maple syrup. Try the sea salt and cranberry or dark chili.

Please your kitty with this easy-to-grow mint species

By Sara Williams Catmint is at its showiest in September and is an excellent addition to the fall garden.

To be expected, the plants are members of the mint family — in fact the Latin genus name, Nepeta, means mint. Like all mints, they have square stems and opposite leaves (each leaf has a mate on the opposite side of the stem).

Catmint foliage is generally a greygreen and emits a fragrance when crushed. Flowers can be blue, purple, mauve-pink or white. There are a number of species that comprise the catmint group and many of the named varieties are selections from individual species or interspecific hybrids.

‘Dropmore Blue’ is a cross of N. mussinii and N. ucranica introduced

by Dr. Frank Skinner of Dropmore, Man., in 1932. It is compact, 30 to 38 cm in height, with soft, scalloped, greygreen leaves and light purple flowers.

Because it is sterile, it blooms almost the entire summer and does not reseed, nor is it invasive. It is used extensively in English rose gardens as edging.

ASK ELLIE

Demanding attention doesn’t work long-term Q. I’m 22, and the guy I loved broke up with me five months ago. Our four-month relationship was full of passion!

The intimacy was great, though we had issues. He smoked weed, and I nagged about that for quite a while. He had a calm, quiet temperament, and I’m louder and more edgy. I had to tame myself to get attention from him, or he’d keep to himself, almost reserved.

We did butt heads a lot. I had very little patience, and I wanted more of his love consistently. But he’d fall short. I never really accepted who he was. I thought I could bring more out of him. I was annoyed and upset a lot, unwilling to communicate with him.

He did small dumb things consistently and didn’t see the big deal, which I did.

He broke it off, though I really wanted to make it work. I miss him SO much. I’m unhappy that I couldn’t get another chance to make it right.

I didn’t cut my ex out of my life completely and was just all over the place with my new boyfriend. Once he broke it off, I started reflecting on it ALL. How can I see a brighter future ahead? I’m unsure if I’m going to find this level of passion for a man again.

Ugh, Relationships!

A. You’ll certainly feel passion again, because it’s within YOU in a big, expressive way.

Whether you’ll choose a man who can handle your demands for attention, is less clear.

After all, you expected responses from this guy very early on, that you knew went against his nature.

Fortunately, you’re young and eager to learn to make relationships not turn out this way.

So, forget this guy and move on. He wisely knew the situation simply didn’t work for him.

Start to be more realistically selective in your dating. You don’t need a man who’s just like you, but you do need someone who appreciates your enthusiastic approach.

You also need to pay more attention to the other person’s personality style and needs, to see if you and he can connect with respect for both sides.

When that works, passion’s a mutual reward.

Q. I’m late-30s and met a man (same-age) whom I thought was The One. He’s been unhappily married for years, and felt he’d found his soulmate in me.

He left his wife, moved on his own, and began a joint custody routine with his two sons. We expected to move in together in time.

Then suddenly it all changed, through his guilt about his sons, and comments from his family about abandoning his responsibility.

He pulls away emotionally for days, then

Ask Ellie

comes to see me, distraught. I can’t resist him.

I feel like “booty” call, which is the last thing I want for us.

Do I cut the tie completely, though it’ll devastate me?

A. His guilt reaction is normal at this stage.

Reality’s set in, he’s not living with his sons as before, despite joint custody. He may still hope to have a future with you but, for now, the change in his life is overwhelming.

Give him the space he needs to work this through. Suggest that he talk to a counsellor on his own, and takes a month without popping in and out of your life.

Say that you can’t just be “booty.” If he can come to terms with his divorce process, you’ll be his partner in a life that includes his sons.

Q. I’m a university student, aged 25. Last spring, my professor and I fell in love. It was the most amazing two months of constant communication, amazing sex, great conversation, tenderness, and affection.

Then his wife found out, he dropped me immediately and said we couldn’t even be friends.

I’ve gone to his department, and he won’t even say hello to me. In our final phone conversation, he’d said what we had wasn’t real, but I don’t buy that. I assume he’s just staying with her for the sake of the kids.

How can I get through to him to persuade him to be with me? Or, at least just to be friends for now?

Discarded Lover A. Don’t assume what you don’t know. He may love his wife but had a mid-life “escape fling” with you.

He was wrong to have an affair with a student.

Though you’re not a child, it’s still considered a power imbalance, since he held sway over your academic success in his course.

He could lose his job and academic prestige over this affair. Many universities have zero tolerance policies about professor-student relationships.

His wife likely reminded him of that life-altering fact.

That said, you had a strong emotional link to this man. It’s always sad and upsetting when a romantic affair ends. But it can never be regained now. Move on for your own better future.

By James Romanow Wine and liquor (and yes, even beer) makers have been marketing their products to women for at least 50 years. As booze became a commodity, this marketing moved to new heights.

Hendrick’s Gin, for example, has a female CEO. Catering to the feminine market, she had the flavour profile specifically crafted for women’s palates. Wine makers are no less subtle, with labels like Skinnygirl and Girls’ Night Out. I automatically avoid such labels, assuming the product within to be substandard, or priced at least 10 per cent too high. The flip side of marketing though, is that sometimes the reasoning has less to do with sales and more to do with history.

Las Hermanas’s label features a retro litho of women’s faces. The six faces are the founder’s sisters (hermanas is Spanish for sisters). When he went to the Philippines, they stayed home to manage the estate in his absence. The label, Luzon, is named for his time in the Philippines, after the main island of the archipelago.

Unlike my minus-10 rule, my assumption for Las Hermanas is that it’s worth more than the price, at least when compared to Californian and Canadian wines. Spanish wines are a tremendous deal at all price points. Furthermore, the wine comes from Jumilla, an up-and-

The wine is indeed a great wine that will appeal to most wine drinkers, male and female. It is primarily Monastrell with a lovely bouquet and an intense fruity flavour set. Try a glass tonight when you get home.
