Saskatoon author takes on eating disorders Food used to drive Treena Wynes crazy. Just six years ago, a drawer filled with gummy worms and a Diet Coke was her afternoon source of energy. Now the author of Eating Myself Crazy says she’s at peace. Wynes’ problem with food began at age 14. She turned to purging, and plummeted into a vicious cycle, becoming fully bulimic until her early 20s. “I had this emotional dependency on food,” said Wynes. “It was this addiction and it was such an awful, nightmarish struggle. Although I knew what I was doing to myself, and I wanted to stop, I just couldn’t. I talk about that in my book. It’s really quite graphic and it explains what led to that, how I got caught up in that and the years I was stuck in that.” Wynes, now a mother of two, says her recovery began around the age of 22. This is Wynes’ second book Columnist on health and well-being. The first book was a self-published title called Eating Ourselves Crazy. This time around, Wynes teamed up with Suzanne Paschall, the founder of Indie Ink Publishing, to publish and market Eating Myself Crazy. This difference this time is that Wynes’ personal struggle with bulimia is included. “I want to tell people, ‘You know what, look at where I came from,’ ’’ Wynes said. “The self-published book got the attention of the publisher, who said I needed to tell my story. I think people don’t realize how common this is. Now that I’ve told my story, I realize how important it was to come to terms and put it in the pages. It got me thinking about it, then writing about it and now talking about it. “Through counselling others and seeing this pattern, I really want these disorders and these struggles to be this wall of shame. Parts of the book I’m kind of funny. It’s not to make light of the situation or the disorder, but it’s just so people feel more comfortable stepping forward.” A black and white picture shows a round-faced young Wynes in a grade-school portrait in the first few pages. It’s hard to tell, but she was crying because 10 minutes prior to the picture she was told she was fat.

Aunt Cam gives TL the help she needs

t is time for another Ask Aunt Cam column. This means one of two things: Either TL is in a bad way again or I don’t have an idea for a column. This is a combination of the two. Dear Aunt Cam, When you talk with Mayor Don Atchison every week, how many times does he use the words, “Quite frankly?’’ — TL Dear TL, Quite frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. Dear Aunt Cam, Did you know the population of the Saskatoon census area is projected to be 460,333 by 2032 and the average age of residents is projected to be 37.08? — City of Saskatoon

And this age thing: 37.08? Is the .08 for somebody with a drinking and driving problem? Here are couple of predictions for 2032. Bank on these: Mayor Don Atchison will run for his ninth term. He will face Henry Dayday, who will be backed by the Save the Mendel group. Dayday will win and the Remai Gallery will be demolished for a parking lot. Late in 2032, somebody will say Merry Christmas to someone and nobody will care. Oh, yes, we will get an Ikea.

Dear Aunt Cam, I am very upset because the Government has rejected my tax return, saying that I have to fill it out using a pen and not a purple wax crayon, which was all I could find. Do you feel Editor Dear City of Saskatoon, it’s fair for the Government to I can’t imagine driving be in the desk caddies of the on Circle Drive to get to work.

FOR THOSE that have been wondering and asking, Ken Noskye has a health issue that has prevented him from writing for the past month. I would be happy to pass on your best wishes. We hope to have him back on our pages soon. We miss the big lug. WE ARE going to have to make changes to our Experience Saskatoon page. We are being swamped with events, which is a good thing. We are going to try to ensure current events will be listed, but those a ways into the future are going to be cut back. It might mean resubmitting from time to time. Sorry for the inconvenience. AN INCORRECT telephone number was included in a story in our April 1 edition. Auditions for the Saskatoon Children’s Choir will be held in May. To sign up, or for more information, call 306-249-3927. If you have any interest in following me on Twitter – and I don’t know why anybody would – I am @camhutchinson. I do tend to be a bit more mature on Twitter, other than when I am interacting with TL.

ese, grew up in Delisle and then attended Rosthern Junior College, “which was a springboard to confidence and independence.” She later obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Saskatchewan and a diploma in fashion merchandising and visual promotions at Niagara College in Ontario. She respects the executive directors who have held the job previously, the staff and the 125 volunteers who regularly commit their time and services. “The board members have always been visionaries, right back to the beginning. And when the parcel of land, just to the north of us, came up for sale in 2007, they made the acquisition. The old house on that property had been demolished and our board members knew there was a day when we’d have to expand,” says Forrester. “If you walk in the doors, you get an overwhelming sense of home and comfort. “Families from outside of Saskatoon have a need because they have a child in hospital. Sometimes, we can get them in immediately or else they are placed on a waiting list. There have been times where one out of three families have been turned away because of a lack of space. But that’s not the Saskatchewan way, and that’s why our board sought the expansion,” Forrester said. The conveniences are plentiful.

“The families have access to a common kitchen. They can store their own food in a community fridge. They can cook for themselves. We have bakers come into the home twice a week. We have others who will come and make a home-cooked meal. “In the kitchen, we currently have three family tables. That’s a place where many strong connections are developed. The parents have common concerns and feel comfortable talking to one another. “When construction is finished, there will be two separate kitchens, one at each end of a large dining room. It’s all part of making Ronald McDonald House a happy place to be.” In the new building, there will be laundry facilities on each of the two upper floors. She says the role of volunteers is so important. “They bake. They work in the office. They do landscaping, home maintenance, help families, shop for groceries. We’re proud that our volunteers donate more than 5,000 hours of service every year.” She and her husband, Cam, a former golf pro and now executive director at the Riverside Club, have been married since 1993, and are the parents of two, Kenna, 16, and Graham, 13. “I come from a family-oriented background. My values and upbringing were based on supporting families in need, and that’s why this has become a dream job.”

Race for Recovery honours last-living founder Joelle Tomlinson Saskatoon Express

Lilah Brehon has had cancer twice (Photo by Joelle Tomlinson)

The 18th annual Race for Recovery is honouring the Hope Cancer Centre’s last-living founder, and she’s a spitfire at that. “About two years ago, Lilah had a recurrence of cancer and she went in for surgery,” said race coordinator Donna Boyce of founder Lilah Brehon. “She was in her 80s then and the doctor said, ‘Given your age, I don’t think we should go ahead with surgery,’ and she replied, ‘Darn tootin’, go ahead with surgery!’ About eight months

later she went on a cruise around Panama. There’s no holding her down; she’s a remarkable lady.” Brehon, Marie Thiesson and Olga Stefaniuk founded the HOPE Cancer Centre almost 25 years ago, after the three had attended a retreat in B.C. for cancer patients. The organization focuses on helping cancer patients during their diagnosis and treatment; specifically, the centre assists applicants with finances through a client-assistance program, which allocates up to $1,000 per patient per year. “I always hated when people

who, as soon as they heard somebody had cancer, decided they were going to die the next day,’’ Brehon said. “So I wanted to make this group all that time ago. You have to think positively, because if you do, it will help your immune system. That’s why HOPE does laughter clinics, meditation, stuff like that. A person does have to exercise and watch their diet and rest of course. It may not cure, but it will make your life more pleasant and has extended lives I’m sure. (Continued on page 6)

30-day campaign started April 4 (Continued from page 1)

“It just validates that I’ve been there, I know what you’re going through and I understand that obsession,” said Wynes. “I approach that in Eating Myself Crazy, because it is an addiction; it is an obsession. We use food to cope; it’s comforting and it represents certain things to people. I had this baby fat up until about Grade 2 and the type of person I was, it led to this eating disorder. “The funny thing is, during my bulimia years, I was probably about 20 pounds heavier than I am now,” said Wynes. “Now, I don’t count calories, I don’t have a scale. Really, I eat now for hormonal balance or mental stamina or disease prevention or anti-aging. There are better reasons for how I’m eating rather than weight. I just wanted to finally just eat and not feel guilty. It energizes me now, whereas before it was comforting, it was drugging me. Food can be both stimulating and almost a tranquilizer at the same time. That’s why it’s so easy to get caught up in that.” Eating Myself Crazy is now the centre of a 30-day funding campaign; funds raised will help with promotion and marketing costs in order to break outside of Saskatchewan and do a book tour in both Canada and the U.S. Wynes plans to meet with others throughout Canada struggling with emotional eating and distorted thoughts about food and hopefully provide some direction and hope, she said. Money will also go toward speaking at events at community-based organizations that cannot pay her expenses. Donations of different sizes amount to various benefits, ranging from healthy recipe packs to a Skype chat with Wynes. Donations can start as little as $2 on the website, which can be found at Indiegogo.

com. Type in Eating Myself Crazy in the right-hand search bar. Eating Myself Crazy also has a fan page on Facebook. So far Wynes has raised more than $1,000 for the book; the campaign started on April 4 and will go until May 4. “That amount just blows my mind. It’s so new to me and I didn’t know how it would work,” said Wynes. “Suzanne had a lot of confidence in it; she said, ‘The truth is, if people think it’s worthwhile or worthy, they will contribute.’ “Travelling is expensive, of course, and I think the U.S. is a market that my book will do very well in. Hopefully, we’ll get around and talk to people. The exciting news is that we’re hoping for two or three more series under the Eating Myself Crazy umbrella. Hopefully, we’ll get an Eating Myself Crazy for teens, for the busy mom, for the workplace, that kind of thing.” Eating Myself Crazy is available at Chapters and Indigo, McNally Robinson and online through Wynes’ 30-day campaign, with a $20 donation. Wynes is also doing a speaking engagement at McNally Robinson on May 6. “We have to change how we look at food, and that’s why it’s so hard. We have so many obstacles,” said Wynes. “This book gives super easy tips on how to do that. My life is insane; I’m working two jobs, I’m writing, I’m involved in the community. “So, honestly, if I can do this, I really believe you can, too. This is the tips and trials and errors that I have personally experienced too, so here’s something to help. I’ve been there, I’m here and this is something I have faith can give some comfort and help make the changes that will change your life. They changed mine.”

Fundraising target $70,000 this year “We had to have $10,000 to get the retreats going when we started HOPE here in Saskatoon. I thought we couldn’t possibly do it, but Marie and Olga were determined. We went about collecting money and visiting people. After we got the first $1,000, we thought we were really wonderful,� added Brehon with a laugh. Around 400 runners are anticipated at this year’s Race for Recovery, according to Boyce. The fundraising target is $70,000. Participants are asked to fundraise $25 or pay a registration fee before walking two or five kilometres, or running a timed fivekilometre course. One of the biggest challenges, Boyce says, is the competition with other events in the city. “Unfortunately, there are so many runs that everything is pretty much status quo. We’re hoping to raise visibility, so we have more people come out to the run, but for the last five years it’s been pretty static,� said Boyce. “We have about the same number of people come out and they’re raising about the same number of dollars, but the competition is incredible. The police run is the day before, and on the same day as ours is the MS Walk.� The HOPE Cancer Centre receives no government funding, allowing the majority of the money raised to go directly to cancer patients. “We pretty much start where the clinic ends,� said Brehon, who overcame breast cancer 40 years ago, and then bowel cancer in 2011. “Maybe bus tickets so someone who can’t afford them can visit their mother for the last time. Filling a deep freeze, cutting grass and doing lawn work and other things to make their life better, and happier.� The HOPE Race for Recovery is the centre’s largest fundraiser. Though it is small, both Brehon and Boyce encourage residents of Saskatoon to come and enjoy the event, which is host to musical entertainment, face painting and a barbecue. The race is held at River Landing on April 28, and will run from 9 a.m. to noon with Sheila Cole from CBC serving as honorary chair. Participants are able to register and donate online at www.hopecancer centre.com or stop by the HOPE office, located at 129D Pinehouse Dr. There is also walk-up registration on the day of the race. “I remember the first few years we didn’t make any money, but it was still worth it,� said Brehon, who is turning 90 on May 6. “It’s fun. I come out and try to walk as much as I can. I think that people should be out and support this run; supporting the Cancer Clinic is all very well, but that money goes out east and you have to beg it back. Our money stays in Saskatchewan, and goes directly to cancer patients here. “People who know I am a survivor can look at me and think, ‘If you can survive, so can I.’ And that’s what HOPE and this race is all about.�

Café Daughter to have Sask. premiere April 19

K

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

enneth T. Williams’ play, Café Daughter, explores a number of serious themes, such as discrimination, cultural heritage, secrecy and coming to terms with one’s identity. The one-woman show will have its Saskatchewan premiere this month, when Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company (SNTC) presents it at Studio 914 on 20th Street West. Café Daughter tells the story of Yvette Wong, a girl of Chinese and Cree heritage growing up in a small Saskatchewan town, where her Chinese father owns the local cafe. Yvette’s mother, a Cree woman living off reserve, makes Yvette promise not to share her Cree heritage for fear of discrimination. “It’s about her growing up and facing what it’s like to be Chinese and Cree in the largely white world,” said Williams. “One of the big key moments is when Yvette’s mother tells her never to tell anyone that you’re Indian: ‘Just tell people you’re Chinese; they’ll treat you better.’ So she hangs on to that sort of secret for almost her entire life,” he added. Williams, a Cree playwright from the George Gordon First Nation, finished writing the play two years ago. In 2011, it was produced in Whitehorse, Yukon, by Gwaandak Theatre, which remounted the production and toured it across Canada in January and February this year. “The production we’re seeing in Saskatoon is a completely separate production by Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company,” he said. Williams said Café Daughter originally started out as a film idea and took about a decade to write. The inspiration for it was sparked when Williams met someone who turned out to be “a long-lost cousin,” Senator Lillian Eva (Quan) Dyck, a fellow member of the George Gordon First Nation and a firstgeneration Chinese Canadian. “We started talking and then she told me ML41429.D15 the reason why her parents met — because

Mary

her mother’s Cree and her father’s Chinese — was because white women were not allowed to work in Chinese-owned businesses. I was kind of like, ‘What?’ At the time, I didn’t know that,” said Williams. “I dug into that, and there was a law that the Province of Saskatchewan enacted in 1912 called The Employment of Female Labour in Certain Capacities Act. There were similar laws passed in B.C. and Manitoba and Ontario. It basically said that white women were not allowed to work in Chinese-owned businesses or in businesses where Chinese men were known to frequent in large numbers.” Williams, who previously worked as a video journalist for the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), began working on the project with a Toronto filmmaker, who thought the story would make a great movie. However, over time the project became “unwieldy” and Williams “hit a wall” around 2008 or 2009. When Gwaandak Theatre put out a request for proposals for the commission of a new play, he jumped on the opportunity and submitted the proposal. “Through a series of workshops that they helped me with, we got the production ready by 2011,” he said. Dyck, who served as the inspiration for Café Daughter, attended the world premiere of the play in 2011 in Whitehorse and also watched it again in Toronto in January. Williams said it was one of “the most nervous experiences” he’s had. “You want to show them the respect you’ve done to their story, but at the same time sell an interesting play. She was kind of right next to me at the opening, but she loved it both times. That tells you you did it right.” Williams, the first Aboriginal person to earn an M.F.A. in playwriting from the University of Alberta, has received acclaim for a number of plays, with Thunderstick, Gordon Winter, Bannock Republic and Café Daughter published by Scirocco Drama. Williams, who now teaches playwriting at the University of Saskatchewan and also serves

as the playwright in residence for the U of S Drama Department, is excited to bring Café Daughter to local audiences. “It is a Saskatchewan story. What’s really cool about this production is that Kristin Friday, who’s playing all the roles, is also from George Gordon First Nation, so that’s kind of like this connection that the three of us have to this play,” he said. Williams is hoping local audiences will enjoy the production. “I hope they’ll react well to it. It’s done JW10814.D15 really well wherever it’s played,” he said.

“The director’s Heather Inglis, who I’ve worked with before and who I’ve known for quite a while, and she’s really, really good at what she does. And Kristin’s really getting into the role, so I think it’s going to do really well here.” Café Daughter runs from April 19 to April 28.

Sexy Laundry Actor relates to role in Persephone production

P

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

ersephone Theatre’s upcoming production of Sexy Laundry is sure to be an “audience pleaser,” says one of the play’s cast members. “It’s a very funny play. It’s a very popular, very successful play written by Michele Riml, who is a Vancouver playwright,” said Lisa Bayliss. “It’s been done by many, many theatre companies across the country to great success. It’s a real audience pleaser, in that it is very funny and very cleverly written.” Bayliss, a Vancouver resident, plays the character Alice, a married mother of three and part-time real-estate agent in her early 50s. Bayliss describes Alice as a “person with a great deal of spirit,” but whose spirit “maybe has been a little bit squashed over the years.” “She’s had a long 30-year marriage to Henry, and all of the perks that go with living with a fairly successful engineer. They have a beautiful home. They’ve had lots of nice things; she likes to go shopping,” said Bayliss. While Alice has spent years caring for her family, “her own inner self maybe has not been fully realized,” said Bayliss. With her children leaving the nest, Alice begins to question her own identity. “Like most women in that age range — myself included; I can relate — we’re starting to notice the signs of aging. We’re starting to wonder if we’re as attractive as we used to be. We start to notice that men are looking at the younger women on the sidewalk and not me,” said Bayliss. Alice sets out to spice up her marriage and enhance communication with her

husband, who is wrapped up in his work. As a result, Alice organizes a weekend trip to a stylish boutique hotel and convinces the reluctant Henry to join her. “She brings along some interesting things to help facilitate what she hopes to accomplish on this weekend — hence the title of the play,” said Bayliss. “She’s a fairly conservative, middleclass, straight-laced woman, but she wants so desperately to try and whip up some romance in this 30-year relationship. It’s like a last-ditch effort almost. So she’s brought along a sex guide, Sex for Dummies, and is encouraging Henry to participate in some of the exercises and create some intimacy.” Bayliss said the play is a comedy, but has some dramatic moments. “Like all good comedies, it does then get to the heart of what’s really going on between Alice and Henry.” Working at Persephone Theatre is a homecoming of sorts for Bayliss, who grew up on the prairies and lived in Saskatoon between the ages of 11 and 13. One of her first professional acting jobs following theatre school was taking part in the national tour of the Saskatchewan rock

Mendel gallery adds Kim Adams sculpture Saskatoon Express

The Mendel Art Gallery announced a major addition to its collection last week, after BMO Financial Group gifted a sculpture entitled Love Birds. Kim Adams, a leading Canadian contemporary artist, created the sculpture (in two parts). The artwork, which was selected by the Mendel’s chief curator, Lisa Baldissera, and the curatorial staff, is valued at $175,000. The donation increases the value of the Mendel’s permanent collection to $35.7 million. Adams, who has exhibited throughout Canada and internationally, creates work from objects such as farm machinery, automobile parts, toys, model train parts and household items. According to a Mendel news release, Love Birds “explores the idea of the interaction BMO Financial Group gifted a between two objects and the language of the sculpture entitled Love Birds to space within” and is based on ideas that Adams the Mendel Art Gallery developed in the 1980s using small-scale (Photo Submitted) models. Love Birds will be on display at the Western Development Museum (WDM) until Sept. 2. A public reception will be held at the WDM on April 19 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission to the event is free.

Persephone offers diversity in new season

Persephone Theatre’s artistic director, Del Surjik, has announced the lineup for the theatre’s 2013-2014 season. “Our next season builds on a great tradition of variety and diversity in our programming. Political and romantic intrigue, comedy, heartbreak, hope, surprise and happiness, and even curling, are all waiting in the wings for you, ready to take their place on stage when the new season begins,” Surjik said in a news release. The six-play mainstage series opens in September 2013 with Aaron Bushkowsky’s My Chernobyl and closes in May 2014 with Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies. The three-play Deep End Series — which Persephone describes as one of its “most daring Deep End Series lineups in history” — will kick off in October 2013 with the world premiere of Donna Michelle St. Bernard’s A Man A Fish and end with Dreary and Izzy by Tara Beagan in April 2014. Persephone Theatre Youth will also “feature prominently” in the 2013-2014 season, according to the theatre, with seven productions between the SaskTel Youth Tour, Youth Series and Kinsmen Young Company. opera Cruel Tears, which gave her the opportunity to work with Persephone founders Janet Wright and Brian Richmond. “There’s something about the prairies. It feels really familiar being here,” she said. “I was back here a few years back when my husband, Kevin Williamson, who’s also an actor, worked on a Persephone show called The Walnut Tree. When I came to visit him, I was really excited to come back here. When I did get here, it seemed really familiar to me, and I really loved the feel of not only the city itself — which I feel is really beautiful — but the sense of community and the real vibrancy that I feel in the cultural community in Saskatoon.” Directed by Herbie Barnes, Sexy Laundry also stars well-known actor Kent Allen as Henry. Bayliss said she is enjoying working with Allen, who she describes as “a very accomplished actor.” “We’re getting along great. There’s many similarities in the way that we work. We’re really playing off each other in a really lovely way. It’s very easy. It was very comfortable,” she said. “It’s interesting and I feel lucky,

because we didn’t know each other at all. We came into the rehearsal hall complete strangers having to play a husband and wife who have been married for 30 years. That would be a challenge if you’re not working with the right person.” Sexy Laundry, the final production in Persephone’s 2012-2013 BMO mainstage season, runs from April 17 to May 5 in Rawlco Radio Hall at the Remai Arts Centre. Tickets range from $23 to $38, and are available by calling (306) 384-7727 or by going online to persephonetheatre.org. In addition to Sexy Laundry, Persephone Theatre is offering another production this month. Persephone Theatre and Broadway Theatre are working together to present Ride The Cyclone by Jacob Richmond. An Atomic Vaudeville production, Ride The Cyclone is described by Persephone Theatre as a “twisted cabaret” in which “six teenagers explore their fears, triumphs, dreams and defeats, culminating in a show-stopping ride at a carnival in Uranium City.” The show runs from April 17 to April 21 at Broadway Theatre. Both Sexy Laundry and Ride The Cyclone contain adult content and language.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Views of the World Man suffers mammary lapse after accident with woman

• Here’s a reason for women to burn their bras. According to a French study, wearing a bra does nothing to reduce back pain, and the chest supports actually cause increased breast sagging. I am guessing the study was done by a man. • TC Chong, on the 40th anniversary of the GPS. It was invented by one-time Stanford professor, Dr. Bradford Parkinson: “Today’s GPS can pinpoint you to less than the diametre of a dime, anywhere in the world. His fellow scientists want the 78-yearold to be recognized, but no one knows how to find him.’’ • Bill Littlejohn, on the streak of sellouts at Fenway Park ending at 820 games: “Many Sox fans feel that the most significant sellout during the streak was when Johnny Damon signed with the Yankees.’’ • I’d like to tell Kim Jong-un not to get his shorts in a knot. Wouldn’t you love to give the little fellow a wedgie? • A possible use for the Playboy Mansion which is for sale for $11 million: A petting zoo. • Chong, after Annette Funicello and Margaret Thatcher died on the same day: “One was synonymous with the Mickey Mouse Club, and the other was prime minister of a Mickey Mouse government. • Janice Hough, on a circus elephant escaping serious injury when she was hit by a bullet in a drive-by shooting in Tupelo, Miss.: “Waiting for the NRA to issue a statement saying we need to arm elephants.’’ • Quick quiz from Torben Rolfsen: “In college basketball, 40 Minutes of Hell refers to: Nolan Richardson’s Arkansas teams or Dick Vitale calling a Duke game.’’ • Chong, on a goat’s head being delivered to Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago

Cubs: “Was the rear end delivered to Steve Bartman?’’ • Hough, on the Golden State Warriors heading to the NBA playoffs for the second time in the last 19 years: “Or as Chicago Cubs fans call that – practically a dynasty.” • Littlejohn, on New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski reportedly saying he will delay further surgery on his forearm and instead continue antibiotic treatments to treat the infection: “Jack Daniels is an antibiotic?’’ • Chong, on 14-year-old Guan Tinliang of China becoming the youngest player ever to compete at the Masters golf tournament: “After his first round, Guan said he’s wanted to play this course ever since he was a kid.’’ • It was quite the weekend in Canadian politics, what with Mulcairmania sweeping the country. • From the you-can’t-make-this-up file: After a woman rammed her car into a man’s car while arguing over a parking spot in San Francisco, the victim was so focused on her low-cut dress that all he could describe to officers were her breasts. How do you do that? “Well, they were a little like Pam Anderson’s, a bit like Kim Kardashian’s and a lot like grandma’s.’’ • Chong, on a 24 hour television channel for dogs in the works: “The channel will debut by showing a Lassie marathon. A special remote control has been designed for our canine pals as well. The big difference is that it will feature a very large Paws button.’’ • Something I didn’t know: There are people addicted to carrots. People with the disorder eat pounds of carrots every day, the soles of their feet turn orange and they repeatedly say, “What’s up, Doc?’’

Mining and Manufacturing the key drivers of Saskatoon’s economy The Mining and Manufacturing sector play a vital role in Saskatchewan’s economy, contributing in excess of $40 billion to the province’s economy annually. Saskatoon, more so than any other region in the province, has benefited greatly from the strength of these two sectors. In fact, the Primary and Utilities Industries, which includes Mining and the Manufacturing sector account for 23 per cent of the city’s yearly GDP, and Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority’s Chief Executive Officer Tim LeClair calls it the “backbone� of Saskatoon’s economy. The province began mining for uranium and potash in the 1950s and 1960s, although it is only recently that the success of these ventures has come to the public’s attention. David Doerksen, SREDA Board Member and Vice-President for Taxes, Treasury and Corporate Strategy for Cameco says that the reason for the stability and success of the industry, especially when considered with a focus on those two commodities, comes down to “supply and demand.� “We are always going to need energy and food. The outcome for mining potash is a lot less cyclical than with oil and gas or precious metals.� The province has many decades worth of deposits in both potash and uranium as yet un-tapped. What this means for the city, says LeClair, is an industry that is not only “stable, but sustainable and expanding.� As the mining industry grows and expands, so ML41439.D15 does the manufacturing sector that is vital Mary to support it. He adds that many of the

manufacturing firms in the city that started out in support roles to mining are now branching out and designing and manufacturing for the Oil Sands, the oil and gas industry, and are even getting involved in ship building at the docks in Halifax and Vancouver. In addition, says LeClair, the strong success of all areas of this sector means that there is now also a greater public awareness of the importance of these industries. SREDA has a firm commitment to help the mining and manufacturing sectors stay on pace to not only meet demand, but to explore new areas and new possibilities in a way that sees all needs being met. “We want to see further expansion n the industry, but also ensure stability and sustainability across the supply chain,� LeClair explains. “We want to see opportunities grow at home, and not export the boom at the expense of local industries. At the same time,� he continues “we want to see new markets opened up. We need to realize that Saskatoon is not an island. So we need to build to a point where we can both fulfill all local needs, but also meet new challenges in other places.� To fulfill this commitment, SREDA has been tireless in both promoting the city as a place to work and do business to potential investors and to potential skilled trades people. They have done this both by travelling all over the world to recruit new opportunities and people, and by designing and hosting websites which detail what Saskatoon has to offer as a place to work and live.

Tim LeClair, President and CEO of SREDA LeClair says the efforts are all paying off, and that there are a number of new ventures slated to take place in the next 20 years in the province. In fact, the planned expansions of existing sites and exploration for new ones will bring about, according to LeClair, “the most exciting 12-15

years the industry has ever seen.� And with the excitement will come ever increasing opportunities for Saskatoon. You can find out more about SREDA or about doing business and living in Saskatoon by going to http://sreda.com/ or http://www.livingsaskatoon.com/.

International Minerals Innovation Institute brings together industry, institutions and government

Saskatoon-based International Minerals Innovation Institute exists to bring together government, industry and education. Led by its industry members, and including institutions such as the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Regina, SIAST and Northlands, among many others. Or, as Executive Director Rodney Orr puts it, “we work with our industry members to identify their common needs for education, training, and research and then marry the right projects with the right organizations. We serve essentially in a project manager capacity interfacing between our members and the education and training institutions, the R&D researchers and other collaborators.” With a distinct focus in the areas of Education and Training (E&T) programs and Research and Development (R&D) projects for Saskatchewan’s mineral resource sector, the IMII is a not for profit company that was set up in January 2012. That year and most of this year have been devoted to getting structures and organization in place and meeting with industry to determine their priorities, but the IMII is already fostering Education and Training by helping to fund the development of a Bachelor of Mineral Engineering degree by the University of Saskatchewan. Orr estimates that by April and May of this year, they expect to have many more priorities clearly defined for both the E&T and R&D areas. Given their importance in Saskatchewan’s minerals sector, much of IMII’s efforts have been in the areas of potash and uranium mining, but Orr maintains that the opportunities for IMII’s involvement will come from “across the board” as LS905996.D15 the minerals industry and their partners Liza their activities and their needs. He expand

is also quick to point out that IMII “is not here to take place of what is already being accomplished in the areas of Research and Development or in Education and Training. We don’t want to duplicate anything or undertake what any one company would normally be doing, rather we want to enhance the industry as a whole.” One of IMII’s mandates is to find common ground amongst its member companies, which already include PotashCorp, Mosaic, Cameco, K+S Potash, BHP Billiton, Agrium, and North Rim Exploration and to help work towards solutions that will meet the broader needs. Right now, Orr says, the number one issue is the shortage of skilled workers in the province. IMII, along with its partners, is establishing ways to “best train and teach people to work in the mining industry. That is something that everyone is focusing on As so much of what IMII does and plans invaluable, and play a part in IMII’s goal of right now,” and something which the new toJW10315.D23 do is to connect people and projects, the being a “multiplier” of answers and soluMining Engineering degree program at the networking options provided by SREDA are tions for today’s mining industry. University of Saskatchewan will help to James address. Orr goes on to explain that their members are “very much engaged, and contributing money and manpower” to help find “world class solutions” to industry-wide problems, and says that Saskatoon is the perfect place for these partnerships to happen. Strong technological organizations such as the Saskatchewan Research Council and Canadian Light Source – both of whom are IMII members –and a number of world-class mining companies already in the city and the province means that many companies are basing their Canadian operations in Saskatchewan. Orr further estimates that every one direct mining industry job in the city leads to two more support jobs.

Cargill’s Clavet canola plant expanding

world’s largest canola facility This spring, Cargill will be breaking ground for a refinery at their Clavet canola crush site. This expansion will see the addition of a canola oil refinery as an extension of the existing canola processing facility which opened in 1996. The addition reinforces Clavet’s status as the biggest canola plant in the world, as well as being Cargill’s biggest canola crush plant. Currently, canola grown in Canada is shipped to Cargill refining plants in the United States. With the completion of the Clavet refinery, scheduled for opening in late 2014, Ken Stone, Commercial Manager for Oil Seeds and Processing for Cargill, says the Clavet site will see the “consolidation of world class canola processing with world class canola refining. We will be able to handle the grain, crush the seeds, process and refine the oil all at one site. We will be a significant hub of processing activity. It’s all pretty exciting.” Stone explains that Cargill had been looking at the expansion “for quite some time,” but that the conditions have never been as ideal for the project as they are now. “We are at critical mass in terms of all of the pieces being in place. The marketplace in North America is seeing continued growth with the high stability of specialty and generic canola, increase in contracts and long-term demand from growers in the Province. In addition, we have a strong labour pool and benefit from the close proximity to the University of Saskatchewan and the various technical schools in the city.” Stone adds that the area is also ideal for transporting goods, as Clavet has dual-rail access, with both CN and CP running lines out of the site. Clavet’s central location in the province and Saskatoon’s good road LS905993.D15 structure also give the site easy access from which

Stone says that the business community in Saskatoon, including SREDA, has been “extremely supportive of our growth plans for the past 17 years,” including the expansion, and points to “the model that SREDA has of promoting networking has been very helpful and has aided us in making some very strong business relationships,” many of which will now benefit from Cargill’s local expansion due to contracted work throughout the build.

The addition of the canola refinery will add an estimated 30 direct Cargill jobs to the Clavet site, As far as future plans for Clavet, Stone says that getting the expansion up and running and continuing the consolidation of canola processing is the most important future goal. “We’ve bitten off a big chunk with this project and for now, our goal is for us to be operational within our targeted timeframe to better serve the Canadian canola industry. Cargill hopes to break ground on the Clavet expansion within the next 60 days.

AREVA committed to employing Northerners

AREVA Resources Canada Inc. has made a commitment to employing people living in Northern Saskatchewan. AREVA, one of the largest uranium mining companies in the world, has established recruiting and training programs to help young Northerners join its work force. It is one of the company’s success stories, said Véronique Larlham, an AREVA communications specialist. “When we look at what we are doing in the North, we should remember that the uranium mining industry is the No. 1 employer of Aboriginal people,’’ she said. “About 42 per cent of our workforce at our

McClean Lake site is from northern Saskatchewan. To achieve those numbers, and every day we try to increase those numbers, we have developed different recruitment and training programs.” “In order to hire young people from the North, we partnered with the school system to entice the kids to stay in school and get their Grade 12. We also take them on tours of the mine site, we do presentations for them and we have career fairs in the schools.’’ The company has an office in La Ronge and a work force development officer in Stony Rapids. Hiring is a priority

AREVA is preparing to restart the McClean Lake mill to process ore from the Cigar Lake mill.

for AREVA with the McLean Lake mill reopening this year, as well the start of the Cigar Lake mine. Larlham estimated the company would hire 60 more people this year to work at its McLean Lake mill. “If they come out of high school with the right attitude, we train them, we hire them and then they work for us. So far, we have hired almost every single one we have trained.’’ The company has partnered with Cameco, the federal government, the provincial government and educational institutions to provide the on-site training, she said. “We will keep hiring Northerners and our numbers will grow.’’ With the McLean Lake mill restarting and Cigar Lake opening this year, it promises to be a good one for the industry in Saskatchewan. “The uranium deposits here are second to none,’’ Larlham said. “They are the highest grade ore and some of the largest deposits currently known. There are uranium mines around the world, and the ones in Saskatchewan have grades that are up to 100 times higher than what you would find in a conventional mine anywhere else.” “In Saskatchewan, the uranium mining sector produces 17 per cent of the world’s uranium. “For many, many years, Saskatchewan was the No. 1 producer of uranium in the world. Unfortunately back in 2009, Kazakhstan surpassed us..’’ Larlham hopes Kazakhstan won’t be No. 1 for long. “We will be gaining on them right away LS905995.D15 because starting this year, the Cigar Lake mine Lizais scheduled to start. It is a new mine

we are developing with Cameco, Idemitsu and TEPCO. It will be the second largest high-grade uranium mine in the world, with the first one being McArthur River (also in Northern Saskatchewan).’’ McArthur River is another project that is a partnership between AREVA and Cameco. At both Cigar Lake and McArthur, Cameco is the majority owner. Larlham says the future of the industry is bright in the province. “There is lots of room for growth with the projects we currently have.’’ She says some work is currently being done to evaluate the possibility of an underground mine at McLean Lake. The company, which will celebrate 50 years in Saskatchewan in 2014, has also partnered with an exploration company, UEX, at AREVA’s Shea Creek project, to measure the viability of a mine. “Currently, it is an exploration project so that means we are still looking to see what the reserves are there. It is promising, so there are many forms of potential growth in Saskatchewan. “The climate is very favourable here in Saskatchewan. The people of this province are generally very supportive of our industry. That climate makes it a lot easier for us to do business. We produce uranium, yes, that’s a fact, and we are in business to do that, but beyond producing uranium in terms of what we are able to accomplish helping the north economy develop is amazing. “We are supporting small entrepreneurs, supporting young people that want to stay in the North, but don’t normally have the opportunities. Now we provide them opportunities.’’

I helped feed the world today Growth is a top priority for Agrium Wholesale and it doesn’t just apply to the nutrients we make or the size of our Company. To achieve growth and remain healthy we need talented, diverse employees to support our initiatives.

Hitachi Power Systems Canada working locally and globally

Saskatoon’s Hitachi Power Systems Canada was formed in 2012 with the merger of Hitachi Canadian Industries Ltd. and Hitachi Canada Ltd. The two companies initially opened their doors in Saskatoon and began manufacturing and custom fabricating components for the energy sector in Canada in 1988. The only Hitachi plant outside of Japan, the factory was established as part of contract signed between SaskPower and Hitachi in the 1970’s. HPSCA manufactures components and turnkey projects such as steam and gas turbine casings and parts, pressure vessels, boilers, heat exchangers, modules, pipe spooling for sectors like mining, oil and gas, the oil sands and power generation. Beyond manufacturing and fabrication as well as precision custom machining, HPSCA also offers assembly, after-sales services and a variety of non-destructive tests on site, making them, according to Ricardo Silva, General Manager of Sales and Marketing, “a one stop solutions” company in the energy industry. “We manufacture our customers’ projects, assembly them and we are also capable to provide after-sales services including nondestructive tests, retrofit and maintenance work on site to ensure proper functioning. We are therefore able to inform clients if and when their system needs repair or replacing.” With the current focus on energy and resources in Saskatchewan’s economy, Silva says that HPSCA has sales booked in advance for the next year and a half. Still, that doesn’t mean the company isn’t always looking to diversify or to expand. As Silva explains, HPSCA also has a commitment to green energy, and has been committed to LS905992.D15 supply the processing equipment to Sask-

Liza

Power’s coal-fired Shand Power Station in Estevan. “We are fully involved in Shand, and committed to green energy. Green energy is definitely a major target for us in the years to come.” HPSCA is expanding not only in the types of energy it supports, but also where it sells equipment. Currently, the company is manufacturing components for the Alberta Oil Sands, as well as for off shore drilling projects in North America. In addition, HPSCA is also involved in deep sea oil exploration and is looking for new opportunities in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, the USA and the North Sea. Silva says that business relationships with groups like SREDA are invaluable to introducing HPSCA to new ventures and clients. “We have a deep interest in working with companies locally and globally to further develop business opportunities together.” In order to keep up with the demand for their product, HPSCA is expanding and adding five new state-of-the-art machines. Silva says that HPSCA is “constantly looking for new talents in the industry” and is hoping to add approximately 30 workers like engineers, operators, welders and fabricators to its roster. As successful as it already is, Silva adds that “Hitachi continues to invest strategically in the facility and people in order to help it stay competitive focused on providing solutions HPSCA customers.”

Cameco an industry leader in socially responsible hiring

Twenty five years ago, Cameco made a strong, clear commitment to northern Saskatchewan. This promise meant including northern residents in future planning and employment opportunities . To that end, Gary Merasty, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at Cameco estimates that about 50% of those directly employed by Cameco currently are of First Nations or Metis descent. In addition, Cameco strongly encourages its sub-contractors to also hire people of First Nations, Metis, or northern descent. “We tell our contractors that this (hiring practice) is a priority for us, and they’ve responded in an amazing way. They’ve hired around 1000 more northern people.” For their efforts, Cameco was recently named one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers by the Globe and Mail. They were also recognized as one of the 10 Best Companies To Work For, as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and as one of Saskatchewan’s Top Employers. In addition, Cameco was the recipient of the 2013 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Environment and Social Responsibility Award. Merasty says Cameco is “very honoured” to have received so many awards, but adds that what is most gratifying for Cameco is the response they see in and from northern communities to these business practices. “Kids in these communities are now seeing the possibility of a future making $70,000 a year in, or close to, their home communities. What we see in these communities is better attendance at school and higher graduation rates. And we see a number of other businesses, like stores

Gary Merasty -Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at Cameco and restaurants, which are also then able to open and employ members of the community.” Cameco’s commitment to providing employment to northern people includes training programs where 50% of the trainees are guaranteed a job when training is finished. This leads to highly motivated individuals enrolling in, and completing, training. Merasty maintains that, more than being just socially responsible, Cameco’s commitment to northern people makes good business sense. “Our employees are very loyal. A large percentage of them have worked for us for 20 years or more. When the oil sands opened in Northern Alberta, a lot of other companies suddenly found

Water samples are collected at Key Lake as part of the environmental management system. their employees going there, but we didn’t have that problem.” He adds that, contrary to public perception, “northern communities are not against development. This is the message we’ve heard over and over from them. Yes, they want to protect their culture and the environment, but they also see the opportunities development can bring. They just want to participate in the process, and to have their concerns heard.” Merasty says that Cameco wants to become an industry leader in socially

responsible hiring practices, and as such, is using similar mining and hiring practices in Australia, the United States and Kazakhstan. With such far-flung locations and goals, Cameco counts on SREDA to help keep them in touch with what is happening in the local business community. Overall, Merasty says that he and Cameco are “through the roof proud” of the achievements, but more so of their employees. “Our employees” he explains, “drive our success.”

Allnorth Saskatoon growing to meet industry demand Allnorth is a mid-sized, multi-disciplinary engineering and technical services consulting firm serving clients in a variety of sectors, including mining, oil and gas and infrastructure. Based out of Prince George, British Colombia, the company has 16 offices across Canada and the United States, including an office in Saskatoon, SK, which opened in January, 2010. In its three years in the city, Bryan MacFadden, Division Manager for the Saskatoon office, says the office has had to change location three times to accommodate its growth. Now located on Airport Drive, Allnorth Saskatoon has grown to employ 50 people. The Saskatoon division is comprised of engineers, field technicians, project managers and support team. Allnorth finds itself providing services such as engineering, project management and technical field services for various clients such as Mosaic, PotashCorp and BHP Billiton. For example, Allnorth is providing site wide survey services for the new Mosaic Esterhazy K3 Potash Project. The company also undertakes infrastructure projects such as full cycle land development and transportation projects. MacFadden says the company has no plans to expand to residential or light commercial enterprises, “We have no plans to be all things to all people. We want to focus on the sectors in which we have the expertise to safely and efficiently execute, which are mining, oil and gas, and infrastructure Even with a niche market, MacFadden maintains there is still a large amount of opportunity for Allnorth in the Saskatoon area.The resource-rich markets in Saskatchewan and Northern Alberta make both areas huge current focal points for the company. At the same time, the smaller size of the Saskatoon division of Allnorth means that MacFadden and his colleagues can pay particular attention to recruiting and training employees. Although demand dictates that the company recruit globally, MacFadden says that they have also been very successful in recruiting local graduates, and that young people “are so excited to be able to stay and work in their home province. They JW10793.D15 realize this wasn’t the case ten years ago, and are thrilled

that things have changed. And one of the results of this is that we have very low employee turnover.” Allnorth sponsored two leadership scholarshisp for two University of Saskatchewan students ,participates in the co-op program out of SIAST, and is “working hard to engage First Nations and Metis people in the province as a potential skilled workforce.” MacFadden stresses that the company is very proud of its mentoring component for new employees, and that it is “always on the look-out for the leaders of tomorrow. People at all levels of Allnorth like to stay hands on in terms of the actual work and in terms of training our new hires.” In order to maintain this hand on approach, MacFadden says that the company’s goals for the Saskatoon division in the next ten years are to “grow to 80 or 85 employees, and to stay a close-knit group with a tight focus on doing what we are good at, and to see what opportunities are out there, and how we can continue to make an impact.”

Engineering firm plays key role in Sask. mining AMEC Inc. is one of the forefathers of the mining industry in Saskatchewan. The global engineering consulting firm, which has approximately 29,000 employees worldwide, including 550 in its mining and minerals division in Saskatoon, was there when the first potash mines were built more than 40 years ago, and has been a key player in developing the uranium industry. “With potash, we have been involved right from the beginning,’’ AMEC business development manager Kenn Cutts said. “We have been involved in almost every major potash project in the country out of this office.’’ It is much the same story in uranium mining. The company is in the background when it comes to name recognition, but its work has enabled Saskatchewan’s most demanded commodities to be taken from under the ground, and drive Saskatchewan’s booming economy. AMEC can package an entire operation. “If you look at AMEC, our whole proposition is engineering, procurement and construction management. It can be from conception to project completion. We are covering pretty well almost every element.’’ That includes everything from prefeasibility studies to design to managing the construction site. It’s one-stop shopping. One of its major clients is the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS). “We are currently doing a lot of work for PCS on what is typically known as LS905991.D15 sustaining projects. We are in the final stages of finishing a number of significant Liza

projects for PCS and some of it is still going.’’ Cutts said that work includes upgrades to projects and mills. “On the uranium side, we are also working with Saskatchewan’s uranium mining companies. “We are very fortunate in having a strong resource offering in the mining world. I see that from my general review of everything that potash will continue to be a very strong commodity in the future.’’ AMEC’s Saskatoon office has a worldwide presence. “We are currently involved in projects around the world in number of different countries and doing some work in the United States, too. It’s not just limited to Saskatchewan; our team is working on projects worldwide.’’ He said the success of the company is its staff. “We have some very impressive people who have pretty substantial skills needed in the mining sector — some of them have been in the business for 35-plus years. We also have some really young, sharp, high-potential people and new team members joining us in Saskatchewan that come from around the world that are really beginning to shine. “We are actively recruiting domestically, meaning Saskatchewan, across Canada and internationally for people to come here. There is a lot of promotion from within, too. We have a great staff load of people, but sometimes there is a lot of competition worldwide for those skills. “We need those skill sets here if we are going to make Saskatchewan even more

prosperous than it currently is.’’ The company has had many success stories in Saskatchewan, in Canada and around the world. “We have been working with PCS in Saskatchewan and in New Brunswick. The new mine -- K+S -- is a client and we are working very closely with them to help them achieve their project goals.’’ The K+S Group is building the first potash mine in Saskatchewan in 40 years. “To sum it up, we have developed these high levels of capability here. Mak-

ing our clients a success makes us a success. Our whole mission, is to help them achieve their goals.’’ He said it is rewarding that the work is being done out of Saskatoon. “I think the rest of the world is just starting to find out what we are doing. We have two very unique resources -- uranium and potash – that are demanded around the world and Saskatchewan is ready for it.’’ (For more information on AMEC, go to www.amec.com)

Tron Power benefits from booming economy Saskatoon is a good place for industrial construction businesses to be, according to those in the industry. With the constant growth in economy and population, businesses are taking advantage of the influx of consumers and contracts available in the industry. “There are great opportunities here with so many big players coming into town right now,” said Doug Reynolds, the vice-president of corporate and social responsibility of Des Nedhe Development LP at Tron Power Inc. “It’s a good opportunity to develop your own business. We’re able to try and expand our own business, and what we do with our construction company. We offer design, build and turnover packages, from small mechanical builds to civil and electrical. We do a lot of piping and structural steel — pretty much any component of construction we can do with our engineering in-house.” Tron Power Inc. was established by the English River First Nation in 1997. It is one of many businesses that work with the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA). SREDA has a focus on mining; Saskatchewan is world’s second largest producers of potash with global leaders such as PotashCorp, AREVA, Mosaic and BHP Billiton undertaking significant mine developments and expansions totalling billions of dollars. Specializing in the mining industry for more than 25 years, then under different ownership, Tron Power Inc. provides project execution from mine infrastructure development to upgrades and ongoing maintenance. A unique characteristic of Tron Power Inc. is they are a 100 per cent Aboriginal-owned company ranked in the top 10 of its kind in Canada by the Conference Board of Canada, according to Reynolds. “Our mandate is to hire band members or anybody of First Nations descent,” said Reynolds, an English River band member. “We like to keep our focus back at home and try to be a leader as an Aboriginal-owned company. We’re always striving to ensure that our Saskatoon-based company is providing our best

efforts to reflect back home. We work for the band members.” Growth is substantial in the industrial construction industry Saskatoon, especially in the last two to three years, according to Reynolds. Tron Power Inc. has been able to expand from focusing solely on uranium mining to potash mining as well. Sites right now include Key Lake, Cigar Lake, McArthur River, McClean Lake, Rabbit Lake and a K+S Potash legacy project. “We have six projects going on, and we’re very involved with joint ventures as well,” said Reynolds. “SREDA and the chamber of commerce are a part of the way we represent ourselves during this time. Tron is one of 18 companies that are managed out of the head office, so that’s an indicator of the economy here.”

Incite Insight

Design group joins forces for exhibition

T

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

he latest Saskatchewan Craft Council (SCC) exhibition evolved from two years of interaction and feedback among a group of artists. The exhibition, entitled Incite Insight, showcases the work of members of the 330 Design Group. The group includes six artists — M. Craig Campbell, Paula Cooley, James Korpan, Daryl Richardson, Ken Wilkinson and Lee Baker — who work with a variety of materials, such as soapstone, metal, wood and ceramics. Baker, a soapstone and wood carver and the curator of the exhibition, said the artists set a goal of displaying their work at the SCC. Incite Insight is a culmination of two years of dialogue among the group members. “We’ve been working together as a group for that time period, and it was a good fit right from the beginning,” he said. “There seems to be a real strong cooperative spirit amongst all the artists, and they don’t mind sharing ideas. Everybody feels very safe in critiques and things like that.” The 330 Design Group derived its name from a shared studio at 330 Avenue G South, in the basement area of a former Ukrainian church. While the artists have their own studios as well — for example, there’s no welding or blacksmith work taking place at the Avenue G space — the shared studio serves as a gallery and an open workshop, said Baker. “We use that location for a lot of our meetings, if we’re not visiting each other’s studios,” he said. “It’s really been fixed up nicely.” Baker said the exhibition includes more than 30 pieces and highlights new directions in the artists’ work. Working with each other helped the artists improve their work and has enhanced his own creative process, Baker said. “I was sort of in one of those plateaus where I wasn’t getting much work done, and

Venice

Good health comes to cyclists

T

The most beautiful city in the world?

The Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal (Photo by Doreen Kerby) Doreen Kerby for the Saskatoon Express Venice, a city in northeast Italy, is built on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by 400 bridges. It is a popular city, with 18 million tourists visiting every year. Renowned for its architecture and its artwork, it is thought by many to be the most beautiful city in the world. Venice dates back to the second century. It was founded by Italians who fled from the mainland because of constant invasions by ruthless Barbarians, followed by the Visigoths, the Huns and the Lombards. They chose a location in the marshy Venetian Lagoon, which stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po and the Piave rivers. It is a place that would be difficult for invaders to attack. By the Middle Ages, it had become a powerful independent city-state known as the Venetian Republic. Because of its excellent location, it had unrivalled commercial and naval success, and became a maritime power. It was used as a staging area for several crusades, providing a navy large enough to accommodate 10,000 men, their equipment and horses. This was no easy task. Venice was also an important centre of commerce, especially for silk, grain, spices and art from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Such success brought Venetian families great wealth, allowing them to build stately palaces, decorate

their city with beautiful plazas, patronize the arts and endow Venice with the marvelous architecture we enjoy today. When we arrived at the Marco Polo Airport, we were just one block from the water taxi that would take us into Venice. Because we had luggage, we were limited to four people to a boat. Within minutes, we were speeding along a marked channel, on our way to downtown Venice. Travelling by water added to the thrill of being there. Gondolas have been the main means of transportation in Venice for 500 years, but are now used mostly by tourists. At one time, there were 1,000 gondolas to move people about. That number has shrunk to 200. A 35-minute gondola ride is approximately $55. For a romantic evening, a gondolier will sing ballads to a couple. In addition to the basic cost of $100, please leave a sizeable tip. We stayed at the Hotel Belle Époque. The rooms were modestly decorated, very clean and very functional. The greatest aggravation was trying to get 30 people and their luggage up to the second and third floors by means of a tiny elevator or narrow twisting stairs. Breakfast was served in the hotel dining room the next morning. It was inviting, bright and cheerful and the food was excellent: hot and cold cereals, eggs cooked to order, bacon, sausages, waffles, a variety of fresh breads, fruit and beverages. It was a great way to start the day. Later, when we walked around our

area, we discovered dozens of hotels similar to ours. And dotted in between were charming little restaurants and interesting stores selling Murano glass pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and ornaments at prices we couldn’t refuse. The heart and soul of Venice is St. Mark’s Basilica, built in 828. Its prestige was augmented when two Venetian sailors stole the remains of St. Mark the Evangelist from St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria. Mark worked in Alexandria for seven years, converting many to Christianity. He was arrested in 68AD, and martyred by being dragged through the streets. Then his body was burned. His remains were buried under the altar of the Cathedral, where they remained until 828. Bordering St. Mark’s is the Doge’s Palace. This beautiful building has three functions — the residence of the Doge (the elected ruler of Venice), the seat of government, and the Palace of Justice. Built in the ninth century in Venetian gothic architecture, it was rebuilt to its enormously impressive state in 1340 and became a museum in 1923. Venice is incredibly beautiful. It is a place where sea, land and sky come together to showcase the art and architecture of an immensely wealthy city, accumulated by the powerful Venetian Republic many centuries ago.

he healthiest people in the world live where they cycle. Seventy-year-olds behave like 30-yearolds because they can. While in Amsterdam, I was forever dodging bikes ridden by businessmen in suits and businesswomen in high heels, or vice versa. Sometimes there are two businesspersons on a bike — double Dutch? Entire perfect, blonde families were perched on a single bike, all cheerfully munching tulips as they headed off to those perfect people places. I was impressed to see an immense parking lot of bikes — 6,000 of them. In Denmark, snowplows plow out bike paths Doctor before the snow hits the ground. In Canada, when the snow hits, we hit Timmy’s looking for a Danish. We should all be cycling. Why? Regular cycling increases cardiovascular fitness. In fact, according to the British Medical Association, a study of 10,000 civil servants suggested that those who cycled 20 miles a week were half as likely to suffer heart disease as their non-cycling colleagues. Half. Spending time on bike tires is a good way to lose the spare tires. Cycling burns approximately 300 calories per hour. A half an hour a day and 11 pounds of fat per year would evaporate into the ether, condense and then rain on Burger King. Since it helps build muscle, cycling will also boost your metabolic rate long after you’ve finished your ride. Cycling is great for the mood. It reduces stress and depression and improves overall sense of well-being, even self-esteem. Cycling is a fantastic way to soak up nature, particularly if it is raining. Cycling is also great for toning and building muscle. It’s low-impact, meaning it’s excellent for those with knee or hip joint issues, which might keep them from being active. Speaking of joint issues, you and a loved one or even a spouse can truly enjoy that all important quality time together in a setting where it is hard to throw cast-iron skillets. So, even if you haven’t done it in a couple of decades, get out there and pedal back into great health. It’s easy. Sort of like riding a bike.

he more established members of the mid-size sedan class are in for a shock once they spy the latest Mazda6. But for Mazda, shaking up the automotive establishment is all in a day’s work. Always the rebel, Mazda has a reputation for going against the grain in product development. The automaker refuses to offer a hybrid powertrain option, which is tantamount to sacrilege. Instead, it pursues internal-combustion-engine refinement under the SKYACTIV label. The 2013 CX-5 wagon was the first all-new Mazda fitted with this technology (direct fuel injection, etc.) and the recently launched third-edition Mazda6 is following suit. From most angles the Mazda6 is more expressive than the previous version and closely resembles Mazda’s Shinari and Takeri concept cars that revealed a new styling direction. The front-end treatment is arguably the best looking in this class, while the rest of the car doesn’t stray too far from the past and retains the familiar sweep of the roofline and truncated rear. The distance between the front and rear wheels has been

They turned out to be rides of a lifetime

T

owners had driven several hundred miles, but that didn’t deter me and the neighbor kid whose house they were visiting from begging a ride. In short order we were jammed into the roadster’s bucket seat (remember that this was before seatbelts) and taken for a cruise. I’m not sure where we went, but I never wanted that ride to end. Afterward, I did what any kid would have done: I headed for the nearby hobby shop and purchased the Revell model kit plus a can of closely matching spray paint. Fast-forward slightly to 1966 and there was another car that enriched my love of sporting machinery. I spotted this one a few blocks away at the residence of an old girlfriend. Her older brother’s college buddy had arrived piloting an odd-looking burgundy sports coupe with a truncated fastback rear end. Of course I had to get the details on what turned out to be a 1965 TVR Griffith series 400. New York auto dealer Jack Griffith had imported the rolling chassis from TVR of England, installed a 271-horsepower Ford V8 and flogged a few hundred examples

here are seminal moments in the life of a car nut that are forever etched in our brains. Cars from the distant past that intersected with our lives, changed our perceptions and, for better or for worse, set us on the path of total obsession with all things automotive. From a very young age I could identify virtually every make and model that crossed my path. My memories of my parents’ friends and relations are forever linked with what they drove. Uncle Frank and his Isetta bubble car, or Aunt Eunice and her VW Beetle. But there were two events in particular that left such an impression on my car-addled brain that I can recall every detail of the experiences as if they occurred yesterday. The first was in 1962 when I was 13. I was perched on the front step when a brand-new Fawn Beige Corvette rolled into the neighbor’s driveway. Any Corvette spotting was a rare sight indeed in a town filled with bench-seated sixcylinder Chevy Biscaynes and Ford Customs, so naturally I needed a closer look. The ’Vette’s

reverence

to power-hungry buyers. The car was not pretty, especially its rough-shaped fibreglass body and round Ford Cortina taillights that appeared tacked on as an afterthought. But the Griffith ran like a scared rabbit, as I soon discovered after yet another mooched ride. The car’s exuberant owner was happy to demonstrate its true capabilities in a series of full-on clutch-burning starts and power-sliding turns. I don’t believe I’ve ever been so scared and so deliriously giddy at the same time. Once this raucous ride concluded, my right-side knee and shoulder were bruised and my lower back ached from the Griffith’s buckboard suspension. Several decades later I reconnected with the car’s original owner who informed me he had sold the Griffith after only a couple of years due to its constant need of repair. He also said that despite creaky bones and bad eyesight he would give anything to have it back again, if only for one last thrash. I told him if that were to happen, it would be my turn behind the wheel. — Malcolm

Two cars that cemented my love of sporting machinery: the 1965 TVR Griffith; and the 1962 Corvette.

“WE WON’T BE UNDERSOLD”

High gas prices or not, you have control of what you use

D

www.paragonfuel.ca

FullThrottle o you remember when it cost $60 to fill up instead of $90? It wasn’t all that long ago, was it. If you go through a tank a week, that’s an extra $120-$150 a month. I’m sure that each and every one of you has a story to tell about how the price of gas has cut into the essentials, perhaps even your food and housing budget. Most people simply shrug and say, “there’s nothing we can do about it” or put their faith in some unknown and unseen group (commonly referred to as “they”) who will eventually act on their behalf to lower the tariff being charged to fill ‘er up. It appears that we’ll be waiting for a long time. So, maybe we should be concerned with what’s right there in front of us: what we drive and, most importantly, how we drive it. Nowhere in the great gas-price debate do we dare accept or attach any responsibility for our fossil-fuel woes. We’ve all been bombarded about the measures we should undertake to save this precious commodity, but many people still steadfastly refuse to adjust their habits. On cold mornings we remotely start our vehicles and let them warm up so we’ll be nice a toasty when we’re darned good and ready to leave for work. We then motor past the public transit shelter, most of us alone in our seven-passenger sport-utility vehicle or minivan, without a care in the world. On the freeway, we drive in a state of perpetual hurry, which usually means well over the speed limit. We’ll sit in stop-and-go traffic with the air conditioning on full blast. And, of course, our cars are such fail-safe appliances that we rarely, if ever, bother to check such mundane things as tire inflation or adhere to the tune-up schedule in the owner’s manual that we’ve all never read from cover to cover like we should. In the evenings or on weekends, we drive our families everywhere they need, or want, to go (usually no farther than our own neighbourhoods) and pick them up again when it’s time to come home. What’s my point? The cost of topping up the family sled still has had little impact on what, how or where we drive. It might be our inalienable right to own the biggest four-wheel-drive on the block, but, for some reason we don’t think we should have to pay when sky-high-octane threatens our wallets. We’re the victims and “they” had better do something, we loudly proclaim. And when was the last time we actually got out of our cars and checked the air in the tires? Aside from taking it easy on the gas pedal, doing a tire-pressure check once a month is one of the simplest and most effective things we can do to make sure we’re getting good fuel economy. Likewise, other modes of transportation -- in the form of the bicycles in our multicar garages -- sit, forlorn and abandoned. Those two-wheeled wonders are perfectly capable of running errands, going to soccer practice or handling a myriad of other short trips. What’s more, they’re cheap to buy, create zero emissions (if you discount the grunts and groans from their out-ofshape-owners) and are actually -- heaven forbid -- good for us. Instead of two-hour
