LOCA L AUT HO RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

BRYCE BURNETT

Homegrown and other poems Why should you read my book Homegrown? Well, if you farm or ranch in Saskatchewan or your parents or grandparents were farmers or your family roots are imbedded in rich prairie soil, the poetry in the pages of this book will kindle within you a fondness of your heritage and reassure the meaning of your very existence. It may even challenge the very implication of the word ‘homegrown’. Many of the 60-plus poems and 40-plus photographs in the book reflect community events, work ethics and ranching situations from my upbringing on the land southwest of Swift Current that was homesteaded by my grandparents at the turn of the century in 1907. I

have attempted to capture the magic of the land, emotions, memories and dreams, a smile, a tear and laughter — all mixed together in the writing of my poetry. In many cases, it is the twist at the end that pulls the situation together and grabs you. Homegrown was compiled like the recipe for Mom’s homemade apple pie, topped off with Christmas pudding. The book is sliced into five pieces: prospectors of the Prairies, roots and reflections, community connections, love life and laughter, ending with summoning spirit and soul — all capped off with a dash of humour. I have been fortunate to have made a living ranching and farming throughout my life.

HO R U M

O Y S

’ T HA

As a young boy, I explored alongside Mother Nature, and Father Time has kept me growing crops, raising cattle and burning the latenight lamp writing poetry about the joys and struggles of everyday life on the land. The one-room schoolhouse, Christmas concerts, country church, family dinners, rodeos, fishing and hunting trips, as well as the meaning of rural life on the Prairies are all captured in verse. You will discover a lifetime of reflections from growing up on the family farm to the realization of passing it on to the next generation. You may come to realize, as I have, that one should not complain about getting old — as many people do not get that privilege.

I never thought I would be adding my auntie’s name to the list (of murdered women) the next year. – Jaqueline Anaquod

MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN

Anaquod embraces community and culture By Ashley Martin Jaqueline Anaquod was 24, two years homeless, addicted to drugs and alcohol, and had nothing but the clothes on her back. She was lower than rock bottom when she happened by her aunt’s house on Fifth Avenue in North Central Regina. Elise Cote welcomed her niece with open arms. “She was the one who really helped me turn my life around … (Her) love and the kindness and the generosity that I decided I need to change my life,” said Anaquod. Within three months, Anaquod had stopped partying, got a job at Circle Project and resumed caring for her daughter Chanai. That was 10 years ago. “I really think at that time in my life she saved my life.” Cote herself had turned it around, quitting a transient lifestyle, setting up a home and helping street people in need. Wanting to support her community, in fall 2011 Anaquod attended her first Sisters In Spirit vigil, which is held annually Oct. 4 to honour missing and murdered indigenous women; their names are read aloud as part of the ceremony. “I never thought I would be adding my auntie’s name to the list the next year,” said Anaquod. Just months later, in January 2012, Cote was found on her front lawn, left to die after being badly beaten by her boyfriend. Mark Jeffrey Severight was sentenced to seven years in prison for manslaughter. The last time Anaquod saw her aunt alive, Cote was on life support, surrounded by her crying children. Twenty-nine per cent of aboriginal women victims are murdered by their spouse, compared to 41 per cent of non-aboriginal women. Since fall 2012, Anaquod has served as lead organizer of the Sis-

ters In Spirit South Saskatchewan vigil. ■ ■ ■ ■ Darlene Okemaysim-Sicotte’s cousin was not killed by someone close to her. In 1992, Shelley Napope was a victim of serial killer John Martin Crawford. Having grown up on a reserve at

Beardys and Okemasis First Nation, Okemaysim-Sicotte wasn’t close with Napope, the daughter of a first cousin growing up in Saskatoon. But when Napope went missing — and then was murdered — it affected OkemaysimSicotte. In the media, 16-year-old Napope was called “high risk,” a prostitute and a runaway. “They didn’t really depict her the

way we knew her. They didn’t share that she was a fun and loved daughter and cousin. That kind of stuff they don’t share,” said OkemaysimSicotte. When Crawford went to trial in 1996, Okemaysim-Sicotte compared it to the Paul Bernardo trial the year before, as both men were convicted of raping and murdering several women. But the victims in each case

were portrayed differently in media, said Okemaysim-Sicotte, though they were all young women. “The blond, blue-eyed girls were portrayed as loving daughters,” said Okemaysim-Sicotte. “Over here in Saskatchewan they’re portraying the victims as unwanted, unloved and unimportant, and that’s what I remember when I was young and I had no skills to understand ‘what can I do?’ ”

By 2005, she had the skills. Okemaysim-Sicotte is co-chair of Women Walking Together (Iskwewuk E-wichiwitochik), which formed in October that year to raise awareness of missing and murdered indigenous women. The Pickton case was in the news around the time about 50 people met at White Buffalo Lodge in Saskatoon; many, like Okemaysim-Sicotte, were faculty and staff of the University of Saskatchewan. “We were just treading into something that was kind of the unknown. We were seeing horrific reporting of the Pickton thing and it was like ‘oh my god, that just cannot happen here, we’ve got to get on top of this,’ ” said Okemaysim-Sicotte, who works alongside co-chair Myrna Laplante, whose aunt Emily Osmond went missing from her home on Kawacatoose in 2007. Their goal was to support families and raise awareness of the issue. Okemaysim-Sicotte was honoured to be asked to serve as a family liaison for Women Walking Together. “When you’re assigned a family, you start instantly being protective of their experiences, of them not being commodified for their story,” said Okemaysim-Sicotte, who for years kept quiet about her cousin’s murder for that very reason. She stays in touch with the families of missing and murdered women, making sure they have access to honoraria for travel and food,

ensuring they’re comfortable sharing their stories and helping families liaise with police and the justice system. It seems like the right role for OkemaysimSicotte, an empathetic person and mother of four. “I have a daughter, I have sisters, and I’m generally a compassionate person and I know what it’s like to have trauma that close — you can’t function when you have trauma.” Sharing families’ stories is a vehicle for change and could even help investigations, she said. “When they see families and they see images of the missing, it impacts them more and sometimes in some cases it could jog memories of cases that are unsolved and that’s part of the reason families will speak.” Awareness is the first step, said Saskatoon Police chief Clive Weighill, who has known Okemaysim-Sicotte for the past four years. “I think in people’s everyday busy lives, they forget some of these things do occur and it has to be brought back to the forefront so that we can start to work on some of these social conditions that are causing the issues.” The police force works closely with Women Walking Together to organize events. “We’re concerned with the situation and the disadvantage that aboriginal women are being placed in and we think the work, such as Darlene does, is critical to keep this front and centre.”

■ ■ ■ ■

Anaquod agrees “there’s a lot of power in our own personal stories.” That’s why it’s so important to hold vigils. She ended up in her current role as organizer because of that belief: Nobody had volunteered to organize a vigil for Oct. 4, 2012, so Anaquod stepped up. In sharing the names and stories of missing and murdered women, “you make (people) a witness to your story,” so “they feel it, they relate to it, it sticks with them.” And it’s healing for the families, said Anaquod. “They found comfort in hearing other people’s stories … It helps (knowing) these other families that are going through the exact same thing.” Anaquod remembers telling Chanai about Pamela George, who was found in a ditch west of Regina in April 1995. Two men were convicted of manslaughter in her death. “She said ‘that doesn’t feel right,’ because of how the judge had proclaimed her as a prostitute,” said Anaquod. “The justice system does play a role in how our women are viewed. “She had two young children … she had to no choice but to prostitute for food for her kids. That’s what it’s come down to. And I’m sure she’s not the only one that has done that. There are so many different ways that women are coerced into situations … for them to feel safe, to have a home.” Aboriginal women are victimized five to six times higher than women in mainstream Canada, said Weighill. “We firmly believe that it’s the social conditions that are putting women in vulnerable positions, such as poverty, poor housing, racism, disadvantage.” Anaquod spent this summer working at All Nations Hope AIDS Network, fulfilling her practicum for her bachelor of health studies degree at the First Nations University of Canada. She recalls a young woman, badly beaten up, who’d had nowhere to go and came in looking for help. “That kind of situation though,

Brenda Anderson believes public opinion is changing, largely thanks to the advocacy work of family members and groups like Women Walking Together and Sisters In Spirit. The issue itself is changing, too, said the University of Regina professor. Public awareness has grown since she started working in this area a decade ago. “I think if you were to ask someone on the street, there’s (a) considerable amount (of) more awareness as to the frequency,” said Anderson, who co-chaired a conference about missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada and Mexico in 2008 and teaches a course on missing and murdered women. “I think I’ve seen some changes in media in terms of the language that’s used, how things are reported.” ■ ■ ■ ■

for our women, that’s almost like an everyday situation. It’s so normalized,” said Anaquod. “My people are out on the street, they’re hurting, they have nowhere to go, they’re hungry. Is this their fault? People always like to blame. No, it’s not their fault. There are so many other factors involved.” During her two years living on the street, Anaquod witnessed a lot of violence against aboriginal women. “It’s a very hard, hard world for our women out on the streets, when

they’re homeless, when they are vulnerable, when they don’t have supports. Especially those women who come in from the reserve … new to the city, they just get eaten up by the people, the drugs, the street,” she said. Okemaysim-Sicotte thinks of herself as the big sister in her neighbourhood, that people on her street can come to her and her husband Chris Sicotte if they need a safe place. “When I go out of my house and

down the street, I’m always on. I try to be aware of people on the street, what they’re wearing, something unusual, because you just never know what you’re going to be seeing that could help (in a case).” Even amid the tragedy in the hard work she does advocating for families, Okemaysim-Sicotte remains positive. “I still see the world as glass half full and I still … always try to think best of (a stranger) firstly because that’s how I was raised.”

At this year’s vigil at FNUniv, Anaquod appreciated seeing so many non-aboriginal people in attendance. Bridging cultures is a big piece of Sisters In Spirit’s work, she said: That’s because many of the issues facing aboriginal people are rooted in colonialism. “Everything points to that history, so how do we move forward? It’s about bridging these cultures — these two very, very different cultures — and doing our best to form relationships,” she said. “This is a Canadian issue. It’s not a women’s issue; it’s not a First Nations issue; it’s a Canadian issue,” added Anderson. “We need to acknowledge the systemic problems that indigenous women face … helping First Nations people rise out of the poverty and drug abuse and sex trafficking and sex trade work, all those things that come out of the colonial policies of residential schools, the reserves, the 1960s scoop, the incarceration of First Nations people, all of those things that have led to them being seen as more disposable by perpetrators,” said Anderson. Indigenous people need to rediscover their roots, said Anaquod.

The blond, blue-eyed girls were portrayed as loving daughters. Over here in Saskatchewan they’re portraying the victims as unwanted, unloved and unimportant. . . — Okemaysim-Sicotte

“There’s still a lot of healing that we need to do,” she said. “How do we begin to learn? We go back to ceremony, we go back to our elders, we go back to the land, we do things like that, and that will begin to build strength within us and … that’s what’s going to heal our people.” Anaquod, whose family hails from Muscowpetung First Nation, has embraced the Cree language — one she grew up hearing quietly spoken by her kokum. She hopes to speak the language to her own grandchild — 19-year-old Chanai is expecting in May. When Anaquod had her daughter, her family was stuck in a cycle of dependency, she said. “My daughter’s in a completely different space than I was when I had a baby,” said Anaquod. “My grandchild won’t have to live with addiction around them, won’t have to live on welfare.” But healing her own family isn’t enough; society as a whole has work to do. “I still don’t feel safe when my daughter leaves somewhere or she’s out late at night. I still don’t feel safe.” When Chanai was younger, Anaquod moved

them to a safer neighbourhood, even though it required spending 75-per-cent of her income on rent. The move meant they could walk down the street without being offered money for sex. ■ ■ ■ ■ Changing violence against women is a societal problem, said Anaquod, that extends beyond indigenous women. “I think the transformation has to come from society’s patriarchal values, misogynists. There are men out there who hate women,” she said. “I’ve never seen so much violence against women being normalized in videos and people laugh at it.” “Everybody needs to wake up and begin to look at what’s going on around them.” She encourages people to educate themselves, start a discussion on the issue, volunteer at a women’s shelter, or attend an event or a vigil. Okemaysim-Sicotte adds petitioning and writing letters to politicians to the list. Continued on Page 8

We firmly believe that it’s the social conditions that are putting women in vulnerable positions, such as poverty, poor housing, racism, disadvantage. — Clive Weighill

“Maybe just attending our event has given a community member some motivation to do something else in their life,” said Anaquod. Anderson sees educational value in the vigils; some of her students attended this year’s event. “They’re quite young, first year students and some of them were First Nations and they were appalled at the need for the vigil and the information that they heard,” said Anderson. “I see the vigils growing; I also see the city police here heavily involved in that work … Those partnerships between communities, they build through the vigils.” “I think it’s very important work,” added Weighill. Anderson said a national inquiry — which has been supported by many, including Saskatoon city council and the provincial government — would put a “stamp of legitimacy” to the research. The federal government has resisted the growing call for an inquiry. Weighill isn’t so sure an inquiry would be the best way to go, though he would support it if one was called. He said action would be swifter if governments and aboriginal leaders sat down to draw up an “action

framework.” “It’s our opinion that social service workers know what’s causing a lot of this, health workers know, education workers know, the police know, the aboriginal community knows, the aboriginal leadership knows,” said Weighill, who also serves as president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. “We’re concerned that if there’s an inquiry, that the momentum that’s being built right now will get shoved into the inquiry and it will take five or six more years because people will say, ‘well let’s wait and see what happens with the inquiry.’ And we’re going to lose that momentum.” ■ ■ ■ ■ For Okemaysim-Sicotte, what began as raising awareness has trickled into advocacy and education work, and has garnered awards for herself and her group. She and Laplante were awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal last year. The group was given the Joanna Miller Peace Award in Saskatoon last September. Earlier this year, Okemaysim-Sicotte was shortlisted for Samara’s national

Everyday Political Citizens award. But all of those accolades sometimes feel like they’re “in vain,” she said. “We’re making people more aware, we’re helping families feel more comforted, but really are the numbers going down? So sometimes it feels bittersweet when we receive (awards),” she said. On the other hand, every honour can open a door to networking opportunities with people in higher places, who can help raise further awareness, she said. “There’s times when it’s really crushing to feel like all this work is not helping, because when Tina Fontaine died, oh my gosh, we were totally crushed.

MISSING/MURDERED WOMEN FACTS ■ There are 1,181 missing and murdered aboriginal women on record from 1980 to 2012. ■ In that time frame in Saskatchewan, there were 153 aboriginal women murdered, accounting for 55 per cent of female victims. Aboriginal people account for about 15 per cent of the population. ■ Physical beating and stabbing accounted for 63 per cent of aboriginal female victims’ cause of death. ■ The killer was usually known to the victim, 62 per cent of the time in an intimate relationship (family or friend); 30 per cent of the time as an acquaintance. ■ In nearly half (40 per cent) of the cases, the motive was an argument or quarrel. ■ In Saskatchewan, eight per cent of female aboriginal homicides remain unsolved (13 cases). ■ Aboriginal females were more likely to have consumed drugs or alcohol prior to their murder (63 per cent, versus 20 per cent of non-aboriginal women victims). ■ Twelve per cent of aboriginal women victims were involved in the sex trade. Statistics are from the RCMP report, Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women: A National Operational Overview.

Tina Fontaine, 15, was reported missing on Aug. 9. Her body was found in the Red River in Winnipeg more than a week after she was reported missing. THE CANADIAN PRESS/ HO, WINNIPEG POLICE SERVICE

■ The Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police lists 25 aboriginal women as missing. The remains of six had been located; all but one is/was investigated as a homicide. ■ The youngest missing aboriginal female is Tamra Keepness, who was five when she went missing from her Regina home in 2004. The eldest is Emily Osmond, who was 78 when she went missing in 2007. Margaret Blackbird has been missing the longest, since 1951 from Loon Lake.

Loretta Saunders was 26 and three months pregnant when she went missing and was found murdered in Halifax last February. THE CANADIAN PRESS

ASK ELLIE

True love should trump most any other choice Q. I emigrated from a European country 16 years ago to attend university here. I was desperate to leave my home due to poor relationships in my family. I excelled at university, but developed a double depression diagnosed four years ago, which I’m still battling. After achieving my degrees and working retail jobs for several years, I missed my home country and wanted to return. Then I met the love of my life (feelings are mutual). We visited my country twice. Initially, he could imagine living there. He changed his mind on our second visit. Despite speaking two languages, he feels he could never learn the local language and would always feel like a foreigner. We had many conversations about this, leaving me feeling hopeless and full of despair. There are millions of expatriates in that country, some of whom we met when there. There’d be greater government support finding work and higher quality of life for us. But alone, I’d be returning to nobody as I’d have no family members to live with nor other contacts. Newly self-employed, I couldn’t easily establish myself alone. I’m 36, in what feels like a lose-lose situation. How can I know which I’m willing to live without for the rest of my life — a man whom I love dearly (and he me), or my home country that I’ve come to appreciate and miss greatly over the years? Torn Between Love and Country A. There’s no contest between a country that you’ve idealized but offers you no human connections, and a man with whom you share love. Choose him. Your indecision’s naturally affected by depression. But having him by your side is the positive support you need. You’ll visit that country together again in future. But you going there alone now, is not a healthy move. Q. My partner of 14 years and I split up five months ago, but soon got back together because we love each other. When his 25-year-old daughter learned we were re-connecting, she told her father she’d have nothing to do with me, that she wanted him to be with someone with whom she could have a relationship. It’s since been one drama after another, resulting in the relationship put aside so she can be pacified. I tolerated her spoiled selfish behaviour when she was young, but nothing’s changed. She exerts a powerful force on her dad. I know he’s taught her that it’s OK and continues the dynamic. I don’t understand how

Ask Ellie

someone so privileged, whose father gave her everything, cannot see past herself to want him to be happy. He says he’s told her that he loves me, that I make him happy. She still refuses to support his decision. She’s strained our relationship, and we’re splitting up again. I couldn’t go on continually feeling hurt by his actions, in a relationship that’s given so little value. Hurting A. Unfortunately, her father gets something out of this demand-indulge dynamic. He wants unwavering love as Devoted Daddy, despite her dismissal of his adult love relationship. He’s not alone. It happens with a significant number of over-indulgent fathers, to appease NOT the guilt they feel from divorce, but the fear that their children won’t regard them as heroes. They need super approval, as their legacy. Ironically, he’s turning away the woman who loves him for himself — even flawed — for this tenuous bond with a daughter who’ll continue to test him with other demands, financially and emotionally. You’re wise to walk.

Q. My sister’s totally disrespectful to me since my dad died eight years ago. She’s been misspelling my name and town for five years! When she visited, I threw her out on the lawn because previously when I mentioned the kids next door, she asked if I were a child molester. At a fast-food store, she asked me to buy a sandwich for a dog! I spent $40. She was ticketed for speeding and a child told her to shut up because she was arguing so loudly! She slammed her fists on her steering wheel because the car behind her was close to her car. I want to completely end this relationship. Finished A. Do both of you a favour and end all contact. She’s disrespectful, rude and attention-seeking. In response, you do foolish things (the dog’s sandwich) and get angry. Your toxic sibling relationship likely has a long history. Also likely, no future. Tell her, once, and finally.

Amaryllis: The classic Christmas bulb By Sara Williams Amaryllis is a colourful, living addition to your Christmas or New Year’s home décor. Now is the ideal time to pot up a few amaryllis bulbs (Hippeastrum spp.) for your own enjoyment or as an early gift for your friends. Their history of cultivation dates back more than 200 years. A young physician from Leipzig, Germany, Eduard Frederich Poeppig, became one of the first Europeans to come across the amaryllis. Poeppig was on a plant hunting expedition in the Andes Mountains of Chile. Although most species originate in eastern Brazil, others are found in the central and southern Andes. Today, you don’t have to travel to South America to find a prize bulb — they are available from your local garden centres (where you’ll find the best selection) or box stores. The genus has been subject to intense breeding. One of the earliest breeders was Arthur Johnson, a watchmaker from Prescot, England, who made crosses in 1799. Jan de Graaff of the Netherlands introduced many hybrids in the mid19th century including the famous ‘Empress of India.’ Also influential was Richard Pearce, an employee of the famous British Nursery, and James Veitch and Sons, who developed varieties that had very large open flowers with four to six flowers per scape. Most of the bulbs are now produced in the Netherlands, South Africa and Israel. Readily available as dormant bulbs or as complete kits including potting media and pot, amaryllis are simple to prepare, and will develop at normal room temperature. They form large plants, generally 45-60 cm in height with blooms 10-15 cm wide and some as large as 20 to 25 cm. Colours range from pure white to salmon, pink, red and bicolours. Some have single flowers, others have double flowers or spider-like flowers, and some are multi-flower-

ing. They range in size from miniature such as the papilio or “butterfly amaryllis” to jumbo. Only a few have fragrance but all are beautiful to look at. Bulbs can be brought into flower from late fall until early spring, generally blooming six to eight weeks after potting. By planting a few every two weeks, you will assure yourself of a long and continuous show. As an added bonus, insects or disease seldom troubles them. There are more than 90 species and 600 hybrids. There are many varieties: ‘Moonlight’, ‘Mount Blanc’ and ‘White Dazzler’ are single whites; ‘Matterhorn’ is a newer Dutch cultivar with large brilliant white flowers; ‘Papilio’ is a purple and creamy-green bicolour; ‘Black Pearl’ is a deep dark red, almost chocolate. ‘Red Lion’ is a classic fire engine red Christmas amaryllis. ‘Vera’ is a salmon-pink. ‘Flamenco Queen’ is red with a white centre, while ‘Sydney’ is a red and white bicolour; ‘Ap-

ple Blossom’ has pure white petals brushed or feathered with soft pink and a bright green throat. ‘Minerva’ has large flowers of a rich red with a white star centre and red veining. Read next week’s column for tips on how best to grow amaryllis. Sara Williams is the author of the new, revised and expanded Creating the Prairie Xeriscape as well as the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo: A Photographic History.

Twelve steps to heal your body and maintain health By Jenn Sharp There’s a lot of conflicting information about what’s healthy and what’s not but one thing is pretty clear: the less processed food you eat, the better off you’ll be. Paulette Millis, a nutritional consultant and author of five books, gave a talk recently about how you can heal your body with food and exercise. The following are her top 12 tips for cutting out the bad and getting your health on track. 1. REDUCE YOUR PORTIONS In a world where everything is super-sized, it can be hard to judge correct portions. But we generally need less to eat than we think. Try splitting a restaurant entree with a friend or ordering two small appetizers as your meal. 2. EAT GOOD QUALITY PROTEIN, SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE DAY To maintain health and heal your body, women need about 50 g of protein per day; men need about 70 g. Spreading protein to each meal gives you energy all day. 3. FRESH IS ALWAYS BEST Raw foods have all the enzymes intact, which means the stomach doesn’t need to produce enzymes for digestion. Raw food digests easily for most people (except for those with digestion complications). The best options, besides raw vegetables, are nuts and seeds which are loaded with nutrients, fibre and good fats, along with being a good source of amino acids. 4. USE WHOLE FOODS The sugar in processed foods is too easily assimilated in the

body; white flour causes blood sugar imbalances and cravings. Eat whole legumes and grains instead, and cut back on carbs in general to lose weight. 5. ESSENTIAL FATS ARE IMPORTANT We’re all scared of fat or eat the wrong kind of fat, and many of us are deficient in essential fatty acids. Every cell in the body is made up of good fat; fat is needed to heal cell linings. Healthy cells are necessary to prevent and heal disease. Good sources of fat include cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, butter (throw away the margarine — it’s made from hydrogenated fat) and hemp oil. Use hemp oil in its raw state on salads, rice and soup, or in smoothies, and keep it refrigerated — it’s too fragile to cook with. 6. GET RID OF BEVERAGES THAT ADD TO ILL HEALTH Drink pure water, coconut water or milk and smoothies — try adding a handful of kale or spinach (you won’t even taste it) or an avocado (for a creamy texture) to smoothies. 7. USE NATURAL SUGARS Try to eliminate most of the sugar from your diet. Good natural choices include maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, Stevia, Agave, unsulphured molasses and pureed dates for baking. 8. TAKE PROBIOTICS EVERYDAY Probiotics, which are immune builders, are in plain yogurt. Health food stores also stock a large variety. Probiotics are important to help maintain the good bacteria in the bowel which is the starting

point for most diseases. You want to keep the bowel moving and healthy. 9. ELIMINATE EXCITOTOXINS These include any artificial sweetener, like aspartame or Splenda, and MSG. Buy protein powder sweetened with Stevia. 10. KEEP YOUR WEIGHT DOWN Adding weight training to your exercise routine will help with weight loss as it helps build muscle, which in turn raises the metabolism. 11. MAINTAIN LIVER HEALTH Liver cleanses are a good idea once or twice a year to reduce your toxin load, especially in the fat cells. Beets, raw preferably, are the best liver cleansers. Any raw vegetable works wonders, along with spirulina. Milk thistle is also helpful but don’t take it all year — use it to cleanse for a month, then take a break. 12. EXERCISE The three components, cardio, strength and flexibility, are all important. The main thing is to find activities you enjoy. Try a small Rebounder trampoline — bouncing has been proven to help balance blood sugar, and drain and remove toxins. The positive effects from just two minutes of bouncing last an hour.

Adam Kletchko: Promo moustache for a pro-mo’ man By Ashley Martin Though Adam Kletchko is a fan of basics, he chose a moustache style that is anything but. It’s dubbed the Connoisseur, according to Movember’s official style guide, and requires a lot of waxing to look right. “I wanted to go for a little bit more of a thicker moustache, which means more maintenance. Lots of wax is needed to keep it off your mouth and looking somewhat decent,” said Kletchko, chairman of Movember Regina. He started growing his promotional moustache (“pro mo’”) in July to get people interested in Movember prior to Nov. 1, when he shaved it off for a clean start just like all the other men participating. Movember is a global fundraiser that sees men to grow moustaches to raise money and encourage conversations about men’s health, particularly prostate and testicular cancers and mental health. Women can also support as Mo Sistas. Kletchko got interested in the cause four years ago, reeled in by the excuse to grow a moustache. Starting from scratch, he won’t have a lush “Connoisseur” come the end of the month. “It’s not nearly waxable. You can’t even grab at it, which is kind of the fun in doing the promo mo’, because it’s the moustache I know I want to have but I’ll never have by the end of November. But that’s the fun of Movember is everyone, no matter how well you can grow a moustache, solidarity, everyone shaves on the first and grows whatever they can for the 30 days,” said Kletchko. At least with short growth, he won’t have to worry about his moustache getting in the way of food and drink: “Having a moustache has its problems; drinking needs to happen through a straw if you’re in a rush ... and you just always have to have a napkin ready.” When it gets longer, “There’s really only one thing you can do when it starts to grow, which is to pull it up off the lip. It just naturally likes to twirl so you just kind of go with it. You can pull it straight to the side but by the end of the day it’ll just start to curl, even when there’s no wax in it.” Normally stubble-faced, Kletchko likes having a moustache. “(Movember) gave me an excuse, at least to my wife, to have a moustache without her having to get mad at me for having one,” said Kletchko. “If I wax it up and make it look fancy, it’s nice, but when it comes down to it, it’s still a big wad of hair on your upper lip.” Another thing his wife Amanda grudgingly tolerates is his affinity for basic clothing, usually in grey. “Amanda will get mad at me a lot of the time because I’ll come home with another grey sweater, but I’ll have to explain to her that it’s a different shade of grey than the other sweaters.” When it comes to clothes, “Simplicity is best. I don’t like to be too loud,” added Kletchko. “Every once in a while you have to grab a piece that does get attention, but I kind of live my days by ‘what’s my favourite pair of blue jeans,’ ‘what’s my favourite white shirt’ and ‘is it warm enough out that I can just wear that?’” Continued on Page 30
