Christmas church service and the family celebrations with Mardele and their five children (Jason, Carrie, Don, Brielle, Aria) and 10 grandchildren. Atchison has a deep understanding of family values, community values and teamwork as he faces each work day on a job where his actions are always under intense scrutiny. “I think back to the values I learned from my parents, Frank and Martha. I remember how they were community-minded and involved in philanthropy. If a boy couldn’t afford skates and was missing a chance to play hockey, my dad contributed and went around the neighbourhood to raise the money. That kind of gesture and many others affected my life,” said Atchison. When he was attending Walter Murray Collegiate, where he played four seasons of

football and was a team captain, “I decided to run for the Students’ Representative Council and was elected. It was part of the process of giving.” Hockey was a character-building exercise and established his framework for team work. He played on the Saskatchewan hockey team at the Canada Winter Games held in Saskatoon in 1971. “Most teams stayed in Athletes’ Village at the old Eaton’s department store, which was a real innovative approach to the housing. We thought we’d being staying in our homes, but we stayed at The Bessborough.” Atchison played one season with the Saskatoon Blades, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins and played three years of professional hockey.

Hawarden Halloween

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

here are two kids living in the tiny Saskatchewan village of Hawarden, located approximately one hour south of Saskatoon. Yet the long-closed Hawarden school is still a hub of activity during these cool autumn months. Touring school hallways is enough to give most of us the chills. But Alvin Patterson has upped the creep factor just in time for Halloween. “The owners of that old school in Hawarden aren’t using it and haven’t turned off the power,” said Patterson, who decided to take advantage of the abandoned building and create a terrifying (but fun) Halloween exhibit for the area’s young and young at heart. In fact the faint of heart may as well just keep driving. “I’ve set up three of the seven school rooms for scaring,” said Patterson. “I have a cemetery, an asylum and a haunted house.” Teens and adults touring the facility will leave with more than their fair share of frightening memories. So what possesses (pardon the pun) a man to start working on a Halloween scare-factory in July? “Stupidity,” answered Patterson with a laugh. “No one does anything for Halloween. The first time I did it I had some teenagers through on something I put together on my front lawn, and they just loved it. From there it just kept getting bigger and bigger.” Patterson, a 15-year resident of Hawarden, figures his passion for Halloween haunting began eight years ago with a relatively simple display on his front lawn. This year the Hawarden school’s three rooms will be rigged out with lights, fog machines and props — both inanimate and alive. It takes the full four months to rig out the school rooms properly and up to Patterson’s scare standards. “Everything has to be blacked out,” he explains. “It takes a lot to put up all the backdrops. Then as I’m going along I have to think about what I’m doing: what’s going where, what needs to be wired here or there. It’s a creative process — often involving a lot of Molson’s products. “It’s what you don’t see that will scare you,” he laughs (just a tad maniacally). Despite all the ghoul and grotesque, Pat-

Alvin Patterson poses with his “prom date” (Photos by Sandy Hutchinson) terson is just a guy with a soft spot for creating a bit of mischief. “I like tormenting people,” he said with a laugh. “If there’s a practical joke to be had, I probably started it.” Don’t think Patterson calls it quits at Halloween, however. Yes he’s also that guy with more than 30 blow-up Christmas items on his lawn — from Santa to Rudolph to candy canes and 500 strands of twinkle lights. “It’s something to do,” he explained. “I’ve got a wife, five dogs and I think a cat.” There are no age restrictions, but Patterson did say his flair for the horrifying might be a bit much for small children. Patterson does recommend it as a possible date night. “It’s a nice romantic evening,” he said. “Your mate will be hanging on to you all the way home.” There are two ways to get to Hawarden: South on Highway 219 (the highway to the Dakota Dunes), left onto Highway 15 and right onto Highway 19. Or go to Kenaston on Highway 11, right onto Highway 15 and left onto Highway 19. Hawarden Halloween will be open to the public on Saturday, Oct. 26 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 27 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no charge, although donations are accepted for a yetto-be-named non-profit group.

Atchison holds Buckwold, Wright in high regard (Continued from page 1)

Bob King, the father of current NHL coach Dave King, brought Atchison on board with the Saskatoon Quaker juniors. Ironically, they went to the 1975 Canada Winter Games at Brandon and won. “Twice we toured in Europe — once in The Netherlands, Germany and Austria, and the other time in Finland, Sweden and Russia. We did a lot of fundraising. We even raffled off a car. We wanted to look like a team that had NHL equipment. And we did. It was a great experience.” He coached goaltenders for five years with the Saskatoon Blades while at the same time stepping into the men’s clothier realm with his father in the 21st Street store, Atch & Co. And then came the fateful day leading up to the 1994 civic election. “Mardele and I were sitting around, and the thought of running for council came up. Mardele was the one who talked me into it. It was amazing what she has given up to allow me the opportunity to serve in public life. I’ve missed so many holidays and birthdays, but she is always understanding, encouraging and forgiving. My dad stepped up at the store so I could keep business and politics separated. When I told my mother, she just said ‘It’s about time!’ That was the full-hearted encouragement I received from my family.” “I went down to City Hall and threw my name into the race just an hour before the deadline. “I wouldn’t be in public office today if it wasn’t for my wife,” said Atchison. He and Mardele Assaly met in high school. He was at Walter Murray and she was at Evan Hardy. In the first election, Atchison was running against Peter Prebble, who already gone through political life as a NDP member in the Saskatchewan legislative assembly. “I started by knocking on doors. Then I started standing on corners every morning and every evening, usually around Boychuk, McKercher, Central Avenue and Attridge. And I even took a turn on Highway 11 coming into Saskatoon. People would bring me coffee, even tea in their fine china. Drivers would honk their horns. I was given long-stem roses. The kindness of people was unforgettable.”

LS907323.j21 Liza

His work paid off, and he won a council seat by a couple hundred votes. “The first meeting was a class for councillors. It was like the administrators were telling me ‘You’re here now, but we’ll be here for a long time.’ Most of them have since retired. I was like a sponge; I soaked everything up. I always believed in working hard and trying to be kind and understanding.” Then Atchison decided to run for mayor. “I was full of pent-up energy just waiting to be released. We had just come off a year when the city’s growth was only 0.8 per cent. I knew we could do so much more.” He holds much admiration for two of the mayors before him. “Sid Buckwold was very visionary. He moved the CN station and tracks out of downtown and encouraged the building of Midtown Plaza. He and his team built the mountain at Blackstrap. He was part of the team that created the innovative financing for the Centennial Auditorium,” said Atchison. “Cliff Wright led the move for Saskatchewan Place (now Credit Union Centre) and was pivotal in bringing so many national and world sports events to Saskatoon. He was a family friend.” He sticks to the theory that the mayor is just one vote around the council chambers, noting “King Arthur only had one vote among the knights. It is the system.” He said that “almost from the beginning in his role as mayor, 42 per cent of the people were telling us that good policing was their No. 1 issue. I think that when the new police headquarters open, our Saskatoon Police Service will be a model for other cities to copy.” He likes the steady growth, the development in all areas of the city, the way that Saskatoon is considered a business-friendly and tax-competitive city. “The growth has been strong in all areas of Saskatoon. That has been my philosophy. You can’t have favourites among your five children. You treat them all the same. That’s my approach to the city. I have always spoken out in favour of bridging our community. You simply don’t want to divide the districts. You have to be visionary, be innovative and run your city like it’s your own business. And with compassion.”

But (there’s always a but) this election promise was made too early and for the sake of pumping up the ego of a province lusting after anything and everything Alberta had first. Like STARS.

I would agree that major decisions should not be made at this time. Your situation is quite common for those who have been widowed from someone who has been chronically ill. You likely mourned the loss of your wife years ago when she became seriously ill and the dynamics of your relationship changed. You filled your time visiting with her, and now all of that has stopped and it is a terrible shock to your system. I would urge you to start to get involved in activities for seniors. You will meet new people and ease into new social situations. I would suggest checking with your local YMCA to see if they offer grieving groups. You need to surround yourself with a variety of people at this time rather than one special person. Once you feel ready to look for a great lady please contact me.

By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess or chronic stress overloads our adrenal glands - symptoms and disease can occur. Some of the common earlier symptoms of adrenal stress include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. Forty years later I still take adrenal support during times of added stress. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement to help people with the stressors and demands of daily living. There is much more awareness about adrenal fatigue today and also other adrenal fatigue formulas on the market. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The Original AdrenaSense Formula: The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; provide vital energy and act as a ‘general tonic’ to support the effects of stress and fatigue.

Pawlachuk knows nothing comes easy in his business. “It’s hard work in and success out,” he said. “If you don’t personally put in the hard work you won’t see a good return. The first year your bar is a bit of a novelty, so it’s a freebie year. Three or four years in you’ve got to make changes, revamp. Every year you’re dealing with a new crop of customers — those turning 19.” “I don’t think I’d want to see it the day before everyone else,” said Pawlachuk, who will watch the series premiere for the first time with everyone else when it airs on City TV Saskatchewan on Oct. 23 at 10 p.m. An encore presentation will air Oct. 25 at 10 p.m. The series is also available at citytv.com/saskatchewan.

Doctor sees Europe from different vantage points Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

Saskatoon physician recently saw Europe one push-up at a time. Before leaving for the European cruise, Dr. Wendy GoreHickman had started doing a 100-day push-up challenge with other members of the Saskatoon Triathlon Club. To meet the challenge she would be doing 20 push-ups per day through 40 per day while on vacation. The first stop on the cruise was Croatia. “As we were walking around I made this comment to (her husband) Rick that I couldn’t forget to do my push-ups that day. I said I should do them some place nice in Croatia. “At that time we were in this fort, and there was this big brick wall with a sharp drop off the edge. ‘There’s a perfect place for my push-ups. I am going to jump up there and do them,’ I said. The couple that was with us and Rick were having a fit because I am not afraid of heights. So I got up on this wall and did my push-ups and they took pictures of me.” Those first push-ups led to many more. “We decided each day we should find an interesting spot for me to do my push-ups that showed where we were touring. This became half the fun of the tour; every day finding great places for me to do push-ups.” And what beautiful places they found: on a bridge in Venice, near the statue of David in Florence, outside the Colosseum in Rome, JW11129.j21 overlooking James a beach in Nice and

in front of the unfinished church of La Sagrada Familia designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona. “I didn’t get them all done in every spot. In Barcelona I was doing them in front of Gaudi’s unfinished castle. There were so many people there I started doing them and this security guard came running over and said, ‘No, no, no. Get up.’

Dr. Wendy Gore-Hickman does push-ups on Montenegro and at the Roughriders game (Photo by Rick Gore-Hickman)

“In Florence at the statue of David there were so many people I couldn’t get a really good shot. I wanted to yell, ‘Can everybody just clear out of here for a minute so I can a picture of David by myself.’” Is it safe to be alone with David, given his state of undress and all? Was he a fitness buff? Many other locations for shots were up high overlooking incredible scenery. “I freaked them out because they are all afraid of heights and I’m not, so I was always looking for the tallest, sharpest drop off. I would often make them turn green. In fact in one place Rick refused to take a picture of me because he thought he was going

to be sick just watching me. “It was hilarious to watch the crowd around me as I would go and start doing push-ups in some weird place.” The push-up challenge also started to draw crowd among Gore-Hickman’s Facebook friends. “The first day I posted this picture just saying, ‘the Push-Up Challenge coming to you live from Croatia.’ Everybody on my Facebook started texting back saying what a great picture it was. The next day I posted from Venice, and pretty soon everybody was saying: ‘Great. Can’t wait to see what you are going to do tomorrow. This is so much better than seeing most people’s scenic postings from their holiday.’ Every day that I posted my push-ups I got more and more replies from my Facebook. It was quite hilarious.” The story didn’t end with the couple’s homecoming. Two days later they were at the Saskatchewan Roughriders game against the Edmonton Eskimos. “My son Michael had posted on Facebook a picture of the four of us at the football game,” she said. “Within five minutes I got a whole barrage of people Facebooking me: ‘What, no push-ups?’ So

What if we grew tomorrow’s leaders right here in Saskatchewan?

Michael said, ‘What the heck, Mom, you have to do a push-up.’ He got down on his hands and knees and I got up on his back and his girlfriend Amanda was holding my legs and I did my push-up there. “Everybody behind me was hooting and hollering and thinking ‘what is this crazy woman doing?’” Gore-Hickman said the push-up challenge definitely added to what was already a great vacation. “It was fun. It became something extra special on the trip.” LS907334.j21 Liza

The rest of the world seemed to be dancing at Woodstock while I was seemingly held captive by this green garment. I’ve often thought I would never have become the Rebel Without a Clue had it not been for that uniform. Mr. Kendall, longtime chemistry teacher who still wears the HC sweater, recounted a memory of watching a student walk out the doors, heading toward Market Mall, hiking up her skirt as she went. Having a skirt hemline that met the floor was the goal of every nun at the school; rolling up the waistband to meet the fashion demands of the miniskirt was the goal of most girls. Forty years is a long time. Whether working as a pipefitter, retailer or judge, the common ground was

the educational, social and athletic experience that we shared when we were merely teenagers. People looked good. I was impressed with the health and spirit amongst our year of grads. When you look at them you still see the younger person almost automatically, a tribute to how much their memory is engrained on your brain. More than anything, I was impressed with the strength, warmth and love that was present. I was glad that I had come, glad that I had received so much love. When Sister Teresita took to the podium to give thanks, her power reflecting her role in the school, we wondered if she had been saving this last line for this special event. She said: “May you always be more holy than cross.” As always, is there anything left to be said?

livingsaskatoon.com

SREDA working to promote growth in the small business sector

he Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority continues to work on the frontline of business development in Canada’s fastest growing city, Saskatoon, by encouraging economic growth in a number of ways. One important growth sector for SREDA is the home-based/small business sector which accounts for around 40% of all business licences issued here in Saskatoon. SREDA also supports the mentorship of up and coming entrepreneurs, and participates in a variety of events geared towards Saskatoon’s business community. One event is the Progress to Capital (P2C) competition held every year in collaboration with the Regina Regional Opportunities Commission. The aim of this province wide event is to encourages the development and commercialization of new ideas and foster the growth of an entrepreneurial culture in Saskatchewan. According to SREDA’s Chad Leier-Berg, entrepreneurs from every sector can either be invited to participate or can nominate themselves for an opportunity to pitch their ideas. The winners will receive a cash prize, along with in-kind services and opportunities for mentorship. In 2014, this great event will be re-branded as the Saskatch-

ewan Business Challenge. SREDA’s statistics show that the number of home based businesses grew by five per cent from 2011 to 2012. This is in keeping with a provincial trend which shows that from 2011 to 2012, the number of small businesses in Saskatchewan increased by 7.3 per cent. It is estimated that in 2012, Saskatchewan’s small businesses paid out approximately $5.7 billion in payroll, accounting for 26 per cent of the total wages and salaries paid to workers in Saskatchewan that year. Statistics additionally show that Saskatchewan has the highest per capita counts of small businesses in Canada, with a rate of 94 businesses per 1,000 people as compared to the national average of 70 per 1,000 people. Leier-Berg says that small businesses (defined as having 50 or fewer employees) and home based businesses are an “incredibly important part of Saskatoon’s growing economy,” and points out that between 2007 and 2012, Saskatoon recorded a 16.3% growth in the number of small businesses created. He adds, “Encouraging this sector is key to our economy’s growth because many of our larger, successful, locally established businesses can trace their

Financial Fitness Bootcamps presented by Canadian Youth Business Foundation

sreda.co

he Canadian Youth Business foundation will be presenting the Let’s Talk Money: Financial Fitness Bootcamps For Business in Saskatoon and Regina this fall. And while Taunya Woods Richardson, Saskatchewan Director of the CYBF says that the seminars are geared towards business owners and entrepreneurs, the financial lessons learned are for everyone. Woods Richardson says the LTM program is important on a number of levels, including promoting financial literacy, which she says, “the education system is not teaching in school, questions like ‘where does money come from, what are interest rates and mortgages? How do credit scores work, and what affects them?’” As a result, she says, “many entrepreneurs are forced to learn about money the hard way.” Woods Richardson has noticed a trend lately where “people think if they ignore their money problems, they will go away. It doesn’t work that way. You have to have a plan.” The LTM sessions will cover topics like Accessing Capital, Cash Flow and Start-Up Costs, Personal Finances, Credit Scores and Crowdfunding. But Woods Richardson says that there are things you can do right away to start taking control of your debt, and adds that it is extremely important to do so. “When you see how in debt you are and make a plan, you are empowered. It might be a long road back, but as soon as you make a plan, you are in control.” Getting out of debt might feel overwhelming at first, so Woods Richardson suggests making short term goals to keep yourself motivated. “Start tracking your spending, three months at a time, by using bank statements and credit card statements. See where you spend your money, and form a budget based on that. Do not drain your savings or RRSP to get out of debt.” SREDA is a community partner with the CYBF, and hosts some of the workshops. Woods Richardson hopes that by bringing the LTM program to the fore with the aid of the business community that “people won’t be too afraid to talk about money anymore, and they’ll realise that it is a strong and brave thing to do.” For more information letstalkmoneysk.com/ .

origins back to someone’s basement or garage.” Leier-Berg says that, although the stats clearly show that small and home based businesses are thriving in our city and in our province, there are still gaps that SREDA is working hard to bridge. One of the most obvious gaps is the labour shortage, but Leier-Berg says that SREDA works closely with the business community and the city to attract new workers to our region. One successful recent strategy for SREDA has been the creation of a website specifically designed to showcase Saskatoon as a great place to live and work – livingsaskatoon.com. Another obstacle to growth for small business is Saskatoon’s low vacancy rate of 2.5 per cent for retail space. Leier-Berg says “SREDA is pleased that the city is promoting the use of mixed use buildings in the downtown and throughout the city. This means incorporating retail space at the street level with parking below and office or residential above. “Not only does this create a more pedestrian friendly city, it also creates more retail space.” With small businesses holding such a strong and vital place in Saskatoon’s economy, promoting the

Chad Leier – Berg, Business Development Officer, SREDA sectors growth will continue to be a priority for SREDA and its partners. Maintaining the growth of the small business sector will help Saskatoon continue to be Canada’s fastest growing city.

Wilson Centre hosting Pitch Party VI

he W. Brett Wilson Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence was founded in 2007 as a way for Wilson, “a strong advocate for entrepreneurship,” says Centre Director Stephanie Young, to give back to the University of Saskatchewan and to encourage and provide guidance for Saskatoon entrepreneurs. Wilson has been featured on three seasons of CBC’s “Dragon’s Den”, is chairman of Canoe Mutual Funds and is the author of national bestseller “Redefining Success: Still Making Mistakes.” In keeping with its mandate of promoting entrepreneurship, the Centre is pleased to announce it will be hosting its Pitch Party VI on November 14 at Praireland Park, Hall B. As Young explains, the Pitch Party is a night to “celebrate entrepreneurship and the business community, as well as a chance for business people to network with one another.” The evening will begin with a presentation and update for the first, second and third place winners of the i3 Idea Challenge competition, which is open to University of Saskatchewan students and which awards cash prizes as

well as in-kind mentorship. This presentation will be followed by a chance for current University of Saskatchewan students to give 60 second business pitches to the audience, who will then vote on the winner, who will receive a $500 credit towards tuition. The highlight of the night, says Young, will be the chance for six people or businesses to have a minute to pitch their ideas to W. Brett Wilson himself. There are two ways to enter this contest, Young explains. “You can upload a sixty second video pitch to our Facebook page between October 30 and November 8th. The video that gets the most likes will be guaranteed a chance to present their idea.” The other way, says Young, is for people or businesses to drop their business cards in a drum that night. “We will be drawing cards throughout the evening, so come prepared to pitch your idea, because you never know!” Wilson will hear and provide feedback to all of the pitches. Wilson will also facilitate a panel discussion on “Entrepreneurship with a Social Purpose”, which will feature Geoff Gay, CEO of Athabasca Basin Development, Dale

Zak, Co-Founder of OneStory, and Derrick Emsley, Kalen Emsley and David Luba, Co-Founders of Ten Tree Apparel. Young points out that Wilson is a big supporter of combining social responsibility with good business practices. The evening will end with an opportunity for attendees to enjoy good food and wine and the opportunity to network and meet with one another. Young says that the supportive environment in the city’s business community that is fostered and supported by groups like SREDA is “incredibly helpful to entrepreneurs. It is also unique. We see that other cities often have a business community that is quite disconnected.” The supportive atmosphere in Saskatoon, Young explains, means that more entrepreneurs will make the choice to stay in our city, and to continue to contribute to Saskatoon’s strong economy. Tickets for the Pitch Party are available at Picatic.com. For more information, or to view or to submit your business pitch to W.

Mercan Group solving local staffing shortages with international solutions Saskatoon is the recruitment-employer services hub for the Mercan Group of Companies, which encompasses international recruitment-to-immigration and settlement services. IMP was founded in 2005 by General Manager and President, Michael Lieffers, and is the industry experts in helping businesses meet their human resources goals. Mercan Group is a global company including Canada (Saskatoon, Edmonton, Montreal) China, India, Philippines, Singapore, Middle East, USA and Mexico According to Lieffers, they fill many jobs for the food services industry, skilled trades, construction and health care. “We can’t train nurses fast enough, therefore, health regions and other employers of health care workers have reached out to Mercan Group to assist in filling their open positions.” he explains. “Employers are looking to fill spots in more remote locations where Canadians are not willing to move or in the urban areas where there are more jobs than job seekers.” Mercan uses a multi-step approach to help its clients fill their job openings. The first step, says Lieffers, is “advertise the position locally and nationally, including First Nations groups, educational institutes, youth, people with disabilities and other underrepresented groups. The preference is always to hire locally/ntionally first - especially as

all costs are covered by the employer to hire internationally. When international recruitment is needed, Mercan Group industry experts at their overseas offices source, assess and test the candidates. They often work with third party assessors, including the SIAST Skills Passport Program, to find qualified candidates, who must first complete stringent practical and theoretical testing. When a successful candidate is found, Lieffers explains “this is just the beginning of their relationship with us. The real work happens after they land in Canada. We not only make sure they have someone to pick them up from the airport, have a place to stay and arrange health care, but we also ensure their documents are in check. We ensure the employer has all their ducks in a row. The Government programs are stringent due to the ‘human factor’ and place an enormous responsibility on employers. Our InCanada services for employers ease the pressure so employer can run their business while we manage and monitor their corporate and foreign worker documentation. It is an on-going effort for employers, as they must deal with the ‘always changing’ government programs. With that said, we continue to work with employer to find Canadians to fill there open positions.” Mercan Group also aids workers

who wish to gain permanent residency status in Canada. Lieffers adds that “a large percentage of the workers choose to stay. Even if they are in remote locations, they want to make Canada their new home. Canada offers them a stable economy, health care, and good education Canada offers newcomers the opportunity to be middle class.” Mercan is a partner member in SREDA, and Lieffers says that such partnerships are important for maintaining connections within the business community and for achieving the common goal of a strong local economy. Going forward, Lieffers will look to such partnerships and the hard work and knowledge of his team to continue efforts to expand. I want to focus part of our expansion to bring more USA workers to Canada. “We enjoy working hard for our clients to help them recruit and retain employees, and to help employees realize their dreams, too. We really do offer the whole package.”

EMPOWER Program helps foster growth in First Nation and Metis business

HP Billiton and Saskatoon’s Ideas, Inc, have teamed up to create and offer the EMPOWER First Nations and Metis Entrepreneurship Program, which, according to Ideas, Inc’s Kim Hill focuses on being a “program that helps facilitate the development of ideas and knowledge and the access to capital to enable sustained economic development.” Ken Smith, Senior Advisor, Aboriginal Economic Development at BHP Billiton says that his company was “eager to promote First Nations and Metis entrepreneurs in the province, and were happy to make a financial commitment to Ideas, Inc to help deliver the EMPOWER program. If you look at the initial clients” he adds, “it is evident that there is a lot of entrepreneurial activity in Aboriginal communities, covering a diverse cross-section including online marketplaces, vintage vehicle restoration and health and fitness training.” Ideas Inc is a business incubator that helps entrepreneurs through their startup, growth and transitional stages. According to Hill, the EMPOWER Program consists of a ten week training module that includes individualized

coaching between entrepreneurs and mentors. “Each business has its own needs,” she explains, adding “our entrepreneurs sit down with their coaches every week and talk about ways to tailor their needs to their business. In the end, it is important that the entrepreneur comes away from these sessions with confidence and a business plan of how to deal with any surprises that can come up when running a business. Sometimes, running a business and having problems arise can be a very lonely thing. This program is where entrepreneurs can come and talk with people who already have experience dealing with those issues.” Mentors come from the program’s advisory board, which includes members of Saskatoon’s Aboriginal business community, as well as from partners like BHP Billiton and SREDA. Participants also learn such things as marketing techniques and ideas from their coaches. On a more practical level, Ideas, Inc. has office space available for participants to rent in their building. Hill says that the program is pleased to have “such great word of mouth in the Saskatoon business community,” and adds “we have a lot

Saskatoon’s business community is very unique in how encouraging it is of up and coming entrepreneurs, and how willing the established members are to encourage, coach, support and mentor the newcomers.” For Smith, the engagement of the

First Nations and Metis communities on a business level “needs to happen. First Nations and Metis entrepreneurship is an integral element of the future success of Saskatchewan.” For more information on the EMPOWER Program: www.saskatoonideas.com

Tech Venture Challenge a great opportunity to launch technology-based business ideas

he Industry Liaison Office at the University of Saskatchewan is in charge of intellectual property protection and identifying projects that have commercialization potential among all the research colleges on campus. With technical officers and managers placed in each of the major colleges, including Engineering, Agriculture, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, the ILO works hard to “keep an ear to the ground to identify any intellectual property with commercialization or value added needs,” says Lorna Shaw-Lennox, ILO Start Up Company Manager. In order to Ian Meier, further “promote co-founder and encourage BitStrata technological Systems Inc. development by students, staff, faculty and alumni,” the ILO holds a yearly Tech Venture Challenge. Sector specific judges look to see if “the technology is feasible and has real value, as well as

evaluating business plans, marketing and finance projections,” Shaw-Lennox explains, adding that “our goal then is to move forward with the company.” Ten finalists are chosen every year from between 3040 applicants, and are then given four months of training sessions, workshops and mentoring from community busiMichael ness partners like Lockerbie, SREDA. The winner co-founder receives a $50,000 BitStrata cash prize as well Systems Inc. as in-kind services. Shaw-Lennox points out that although the winner definitely gets an edge, the four month process is extremely valuable for the other finalists, as 18 out of 20 finalists from the last two years are all up and running as businesses today. BitStrata founders Michael Lockerbie and Ian Meier, with their M2M grain cart weighing technology, won the TVC in 2013. Lockerbie says that the cash prize was “extremely helpful in allow-

ing us to finally become self-sufficient. Beyond the cash,” he adds, “the consulting services, NRC grants and mentoring were invaluable, and on a pracitical level, Innovation Places has given us discounted rent for a year.” The M2M application, which allows farm machinery to interface with one another via cloud connectivity, was developed with Lockerbie and Meier staying “closely connected to a core focus group of farmers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba” has been well received in the agriculture sector. “This technology has been really adopted by farmers,” Meier says, further explaining that “a lot of them have told us that this app is a must have for them, and that they’ve been waiting for this kind of connectivity for years.” Lyndon Lisitza’s Renterra won the TVC in 2012. When his parents sold their farm, the new buyer asked for help trying to find someone to rent the land to. And Lisitza recognized that there was “probably an opportunity there.” And so he created Renterra, an online auction website that allows both those looking to rent out and to rent land to find one another. The landowner is able to set the parameters of his own auction, including

length of time the land will be available to rent, a minimum bid and minimum farming experience of renters. Lisitza says that his program not only helpful to those looking for more land to rent, but is also a good way “for land that has been with a family for generations to stay in that family even if the current generation wants to retire, or until the next generation is ready to take over.” Winning the TVC, he adds, “gave the idea legitimacy and gave me a chance to make connections with people that I might not otherwise have Lyndon Lisitza, made.” Between founder December 2012 and CEO and April 2013, Renterra Inc. Renterra held 58 auctions, which saw over 70,000 acres rented by more than 1,000 renters. For more information about Bitstrata and Renterra, you can check out their respective websites at http://www. bitstrata.com/ and http://www.renterra. ca/ .

You buy a lot when you buy a new lot

uestion: As we expand the city, we expand the tax base. Why wouldn’t the new tax revenue generated from the expanded tax base offset the cost of the necessary infrastructure for the expansion? Mayor Atchison: The cost of new infrastructure in new neighbourhoods is covered by levies on new lots. When a person buys a lot in a new area, they pay for the roads, sewer and water lines, the sidewalks, and if there is a back alley they pay for that. They pay for the parks that go into their community too. The city has added a levy for the construction of overpasses. Hopefully they get built Ask the at the same time. Those are all added into the charges for a lot at the front end. People really aren’t getting anything for free from the City. In other cities they don’t charge out for everything. Question: When a neighbourhood is built is it paying its own way? Mayor Atchison: It is paying all the capital investments at the front end that are required in that neighbourhood. All the amenities, such as parks, you pay for all of that. It begs an important question. If the population grows why do property taxes go up? That is all part of the operating side of the budget for the City not the capital side. I talked about that a minute ago. The most important question that no one wants to deal with is, and I think it is the most important question of RS31353.j21 all: If the city grows and the taxes

go up because of growth as some people allege, what if there was no growth and a stagnant economy? Would taxes go up, down or stay the same? If there was a recession or depression, would taxes go up or down? The theory is if the city grows, your taxes go up. Therefore the opposite must be true in this theory. If the city shrinks in size, your taxes should go down. Question: What are the answers to those questions? Mayor Atchison: No one has yet answered that question for me. My theory is taxes will go up even more (during tough times). With growth you have a mitigating amount. Mayor The phrase “property tax” is a misnomer today. It really is a capital tax on the value of your home. Property tax was originally designed to pay for the maintenance of your streets, maintain sewer and water lines, provide transit, police, fire and garbage pickup. But in our world today the City does so much more for its citizens. What would happen if you freeze the mill rate from the previous year and see how much it would cost you to do all the additional things we are doing? For example, the bike paths we build for the community, attainable housing, arts and culture, recreation and upgrading parks. How would we pay for all of that? You see what I mean; property taxes pay for so much more today than the basic services. But these additional items are what people tell us they want, so we have

to budget for them. Question: My family fills up our recycling bin in about seven days. Is it possible to get a second bin? If so, would we have to pay extra for it? Mayor Atchison: Right now single-family home recycling is run through Loraas Recycling. Your questioner would have to call Loraas about it. Would they pay extra for it? They would need to ask Loraas about that too. Question: Do you have any thoughts on cleaning at the new police station potentially being handled by a private company, especially given the sensitivity of some of the areas that will be cleaned? Mayor Atchison: First of all Murray Totland, the city manager, controls the contracting, not council. I want to make sure people understand that those workers who have a job with us today will have a job tomorrow. And a job that is equivalent to what they have today. If they enjoy working downtown I don’t think we should be sending them halfway to Prince Albert to go to work. I have heard from the president of CUPE, and he said a couple of their members that are special-needs people are quite distraught thinking they are going to lose their jobs. I said, “It will be a frosty day in hell before they lose their jobs.” The city manager has assured us that any worker that could be displaced will be relocated within the City’s framework. I think it is important that when people come to work for the City, they are able to maintain a job with us. (Have a question for Mayor Atchison? Send it to editorial@ saskatoonexpress.com.

If only coins, stamps could share their stories

oins and stamps. They are small but mighty tokens of our civilized history for hundreds of years. Yet they rarely receive the credit or attention they’re due. Take a moment and think about the people who may have held those coins, the items bought and sold with their value. Consider the miles of lands and oceans traversed by tiny stamps, guiding the passage of communications or goods straight into the hands of anxiously waiting friends and family. These are just some of the reasons that the Saskatoon Coin Club and the Saskatoon Stamp Club are coming together to jointly host the 51st Annual Saskatoon Coin and Stamp Show on Oct. 26-27 at the Ramada Hotel. “We will have approximately 23 coin and stamp-club dealers on display,” said Cliff Beattie, president of the Saskatoon Coin Club and chair of the annual Coin and Stamp Show committee. “There will be coins, stamps, bank notes, even postcards for sale, purchase or trade.” Beattie points to the show as an opportunity for people, noncollectors particularly, who have inherited items such as old letters, old coins, postcards or paper money to come in and have them professionally appraised. Attendees can shop their items around to all vendors, choosing the best price should they decide to sell at the show. This year’s feature exhibit showcases rare Canadian $1 proof bank notes. “The first was issued by the Province of Canada in 1850,” explained Beattie. A proof bank note is a sample note taken from the printing plates directly onto the highest quality paper and then sent to the government to see if it meets their standards. There are only six known bank proof notes from the period around the 1850s. Beattie admits that with all this age and antiquity it can be difficult to continue to attract fresh faces and young blood into to the art of collecting historical minutiae. But he’s encouraged by a recent insurgence of interest. “In the Saskatoon Coin Club we have been seeing a larger number of young people coming out than we did even five or six years ago,” he said. “We have an eight-year-old that comes out with his grandfather and a 15-year-old girl who joins our meetings. I don’t know what the attraction is, but it’s a good thing to have young collectors, the middle-aged group and folks right up into their 80s.” The show will provide a good opportunity to learn more about both the coin and stamp club, including application forms, meeting times and locations. Show hours are Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is a $4 admission for those over age 12.

“You have to be a bit mad,” she said with a laugh. She recommends that people coming to the show allow themselves time to see it. She estimates there will be 400 quilts on display in the main area. “You can’t go through that range of quilts in less than two hours. Somebody really interested in quilting would spend half a day. “It’s important that people realize it is not just a bunch of quilts like they remember as bed quilts maybe from years and years ago when they were all hand-quilted and all very traditional. It’s like going to an art gallery. There is a section that is very innovative. There are some quilters in the guild that are very good at that.” The saskatoonquilts 2013 show (called Fanning the Flames) will be held Oct. 25-26 at Prairieland Park Hall E.

of her work, but not a lot. Many are in her home and more have been given to family and friends. “People would want to buy a big bed quilt for $250 or something like that. That wouldn’t cover the material in lots of cases, unless you could really buy things on sale.” And that doesn’t include the hours and hours it takes to complete a labour of love. She said when she gives away quilts she wants them to be used. She would prefer they not be used for the family pet though. “I don’t want to give somebody a quilt they will store in a closet. It’s much better if you use it and if it wears out it wears out. You want to look after it, but there is no reason you can’t use it.” She said much of her social life revolves around those she has met through quilting. She said getting together as a group is a highlight of the week. “It’s nice to have friends that are likeminded. We have a lot of fun sewing together, encouraging each other, getting feedback and all those kinds of things.” She said an attribute of quilters is patience.

Year after year people and truck that is stored in a machine shed? We restaurant owners tell me that this reduces have tried Bounce sheets, but the fly population. The theory that did not work for us. — behind this funny-sounding Irene solution is that the reflection of Dear Irene, the water disorients flies and Unless you have many cats diverts them away. I wonder if lingering nearby it is difficult to a large vase full of water with prevent mice from getting into pennies in the bottom would farm machinery. One farmer work in the same way? told me he keeps bars of Origi House fly eggs are laid nal Irish Spring Bar soap in the in almost any type of warm cab and hasn’t had a problem organic material. So you may since. Another farmer said he want to get rid of some of your purchased a bunch of rubber beautiful decorative plants.

The smell of Oil of Peppermint repel flies, such as citronella grass, catnip, or shaving cream on cloth are also options rosemary, marigolds, peppermint, garlic, for repelling mice. eucalyptus, tea tree, basil or lavender. Hi Reena, Dear Reena, I need a solution for making cold packs. We live on a farm and the flies seem to I work in a school doing a lunch program invade our home every fall.

Before you exert any energy in getting how you make them for schools? — June Hi June, rid of flies, you must do some detective My favourite trick is to use a rubber work to find out from where they are entering. Even a tiny entry point or outside door glove and fill it with one part rubbing alcogives opportunity for flies to come inside. hol (or vodka) and two parts water. Secure

with a rubber band and freeze. The frozen glove fits well around the neck, leg, arm or head. Fabulous Tips of the Week: • The best thing in the world for removing sticky residue from price tags, stickers or masking tape is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil (original). It is amazing and works every time. I have been using it for years. I keep a bottle just for that purpose. It is better than any commercial preparations out there. — Donna

• Remembrance Day is just around the corner. To hold a poppy (or corsage) in place on a shirt or sweater, cut a one-inch piece of wide elastic band. Lay the elastic on the clothing and pin the flower through the elastic. It works well! I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution?
