Some pieces of the display are almost 70 years old refurbish the display. “Nelson Remenda and I had been at Pioneer Grain during our working lives,” said Huyghebaert. “The opportunity to work together at the museum was a real experience, sometimes very challenging, and we enjoyed every moment of it. “Nelson was very good with motors and the electrical services. I was more into the painting, the cleaning and the maintenance.” When the displays came to the WDM, Huyghebaert remembers there “were lots of working parts that needed refurbishing. Over the first four years, we were able to get almost everything in order. Nelson and I probably ran up a total of 3,000 hours between us in the earliest days. We’d spend most of our days there.” On some occasions they could lift a scene out its place, take it to the shop and repair it. Others were fixed on the spot. Some were more challenging than others. In the Winterkin Playgrounds there were supposed to be three
parachutes going upwards and three coming down. One day they all stopped moving. And once the skaters on the pond quit skating. He laughs about one incident when Mother Bear was supposed to be placing a bottle in baby’s mouth, but it kept missing, and the bottle would hit the baby in the eye. “The wires were worn out. We had to cut the skin of Mother Bear, insert a new wire, and then everything was back to normal. Another time, there were two children sleeping in the bed, and you could see them breathing by the rise and fall of the bed covers. One day they quit breathing, and we had to do a quick fix. To some people these may seem like easy changes. But our jobs were to make the displays seem as real as possible.” Huyghebaert said the work of the volunteers is immense. “The members of the Women’s Auxiliary were mending the clothing, knitting new (Continued on page 4)

for you, Steve Shannon. As Sandy and I were going to the coat check (so I could catch the second game of the hockey doubleheader), we noticed to our left a room with the Eaton’s display of Once Upon a Christmas. We hadn’t seen it in years. I recalled the old Eaton’s building on Third Avenue, the store’s move to Midtown Plaza and the second-floor restaurant where we would take our sons during shopping trips. We recalled sitting on the curb outside the east door of Eaton’s with our sons and watching the Santa Claus Parade. Then upstairs for hot chocolate we would go. With sensors, the museum display came to life with every step we took. Built in 1946 for an Eaton’s store in Winnipeg, it was later dispersed with pieces of it being displayed in Saskatoon, Regina and Thunder Bay. In 1977 the Saskatoon store purchased the entire display, and it has been at the museum since 1987. A group of volunteers, featured in a story in this edition by Ned Powers, deserve our thanks for maintaining this treasure. It really is a must-see. Take your children. Take your grandchildren. Or go for a walk down memory lane. You can even tell them “CAM!” sent you.

Out of Iraq
Hairstylist flees homeland to set up shop in Saskatoon

ajid Toma had to find an escape in order to find a home. Living in the capital of Iraq in 2000, the business owner and hairstylist feared for his livelihood and family. During the height of conflict in the Middle East, Toma made the decision to uproot his family — his wife Maysoon and three young children — and begin a lengthy escape to Canada. For close to 11 days he paid strangers to move them north of Baghdad, through the mountains and eventually to Turkey. “We were escaping through the mountains. You have to save up a lot of money, and some people will take advantage of you,” Toma said. “They get you to one area and then leave you there with promises of another person picking you up. Then you just wait, and maybe someone will come along that will help, but maybe not. “You hear that it’s not going to take long, but it took us two years and four months to make it to Canada.” In Baghdad, Toma was a successful business owner with two styling shops: one catered to women and one catered to men. “In our culture, you can’t have a man and woman in the same place like in Canada. We had to have the shops separate, so I managed both,” he said. “I had lots of people working for me, so it was a tough decision to leave. I had to start from zero again.” RS31419.L09 Zero for Toma was in August 2002

when he arrived in Saskatoon. The journeyman hairstylist did not speak English and had a young family to provide for. It was recommended he attend school to learn English. He took his own route to mastering the language. “Going to school with three kids and no income was not realistic,” he said. “I started working instead and learned English through that. At first I was vacuuming in a hotel for a couple of months. I would wear headphones and just listen to the language. I just started trying to talk to people. “I have a client who I’ve had since 2003 and they remember when I could speak no English at all,” said Toma with a laugh. “My work speaks for me.” This work is Toma’s exceptional commitment to providing hair services in Saskatoon. The award-winning hairstylist purchased First Impressions in 2005 after working for two years in town. Now Toma is back doing what he loves best — working with clients in a shop he can call his own. “It’s exciting to own something again. We have almost everything back again. That world that I had built for myself in Baghdad in 15 years, I did here in a few years. That’s the beauty of this country.” First Impressions is an expansion of what Toma owned in Baghdad. Along with hair services, his wife Maysoon provides waxing, threading and nail services. The inside of the shop is reflective of Toma’s attention to detail: it is ornately decorated with ceramic tile Toma cut and designed into a kaleidoscope of intricate patterns. “We’re different than the average shop
Wajid Toma did his own tile work
in that our history really reflects in our work. When we learn hair in Iraq and Turkey it’s totally different, people have thicker and darker hair. So we have that experience,” said Toma. “When people come here they see something different. We pay very close attention to everything and take pride in our work. “We offer hot-towel shaving, the old fashioned way, and threading — done by Maysoon — is something that’s not offered everywhere as well.” When reflecting on his past, Toma has no regrets. He has used his experience to help others escape his home country and come to Saskatoon.
“We were sponsored to come here by a family, and now we try and do our best to help bring families here as well. We know how it feels. We were there and we were scared. And we’re so happy to be here, alive and safe and owning a business again. “Imagine leaving home and worrying about your kids? Is somebody going to kidnap them? Is a car bomb going to go off? I like it here in Canada. We are safe, and we are home.” First Impressions is located at 10 - 1945 McKercher Drive and is open five days a week.

Volunteers vital to keeping the motors running (Continued from page 1) scarves and keeping everyone looking good.” Jim McRae retired as a heavy-duty mechanic when he was 54 years old. His work as a WDM volunteer eventually led him into the Once Upon a Christmas display. McRae made one important change: installing motion sensors in 2002 that made electrical management much more refined. “Since the installation, we know the sensors were on for 2,724 hours over an 11-year period. In the 2011-12 display our total was 312 hours. We were at 299 hours the first year of the measurement. In recent times it has been 258 hours or more.” He guesses in the pre-sensor days, when the electricity was on from 9 a.m. until various closing times, the usage for the same number of years would have been about 5,500 hours.
Jim McRae installed sensors to save thousands of hours of electricity (Photos by Sandy Hutchinson) McRae said the maintenance is mostly about motors. “Some of the mechanical figures have been powered by the same motors since 1946. Some displays need just one; others need more. I always have a couple of extras. If and when I get in a panic, I’ll post the pictures of the exact motors on Kijiji and see what happens.” Cheryl Hill-Hampson, recently retired as an art teacher in the Saskatoon Public school division, saw the display “as a child living in Winnipeg, brought my children to the display in Saskatoon, and when I

When I retired as a teacher a year and a half ago, and with my interest in arts and crafts, this was another chance to celebrate Christmas — my favourite time of the year.” She painted an extended canvas beyond the choristers. She put a top hat on the hippo and put flowers in his tin cup. She gave the cat a new face in the display about Pussy in the Well.

needed a new wardrobe. She carted him over to Value Village and found him a toque and overalls that fit perfectly. “Our displays benefit greatly from what our volunteers do,” said Wall. “Some of these adjustments may seem like simple common sense. The volunteers do what they do, whether big or small, and that keeps the figures bobbing and nodding, twirling and tumbling. And that makes it fun for everyone.” The Western Development Museum is open daily from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The Christmas display will be there until Jan. 10.

While that is true, Don Atchison to refer to a proposed I do not believe the public wanted a tax hike of 7.26 per cent as massive tax increase, but giving the public what it wants rather for council to look at a bargain price.

for new furnishings and equipment? We should not begrudge our police the necessary equipment to perform their duties nor deny a decent salary for doing the job they do. But we should also expect that they will operate efficiently. Mayor Atchison said he “will continue to talk about using and investing tax dollars wisely.” Really? Does that mean council will continue to spend us into debt for amenities and introduce a mill-rate increase for basic services? What I find most annoying is having spending referred to as “investments.” Clearing snow, sweeping streets and maintaining existing infrastructure is not an investment. It is a yearly expense for necessary services, as is garbage pickup, police and fire departments. Along with our 7.43-per-cent tax increase, we also have a 9.5-per-cent increase in water and waste-water rates, and increased fees for recycling, leisure services and bus fares, to name but a few. And yes, even after death you will pay more to be buried. Perhaps these increases would sting less had councillors not given themselves a $12,000 allowance each for buying tickets and promotional materials designed to enhance their own electability in future elections. Although the sum is small it would have been a nice symbolic gesture. The joyous news of increased taxation and fees coming in the midst of the holiday season was not the gift we expected. And it will definitely curb spending for many fixed income and marginalized citizens. If you still believe in Santa, then you have to see this council as the Grinch who stole Christmas. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

ert Weichel is the 2013 recipient of the Meewasin Conservation Award. The award is presented annually to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the natural heritage resources of the Meewasin Valley. Weichel is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan and the principal in the environmental consulting partnership of Johnson and Weichel. For the past three decades he has volunteered to promote environmental sustainability. Among other things he was served on the board of the Saskatchewan Environmental Society and was a founding director of the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council. He chaired the board for 20 years. As an environmental consultant, he has worked throughout the province in the areas of natural heritage protection, land and resource management, and park and protected areas planning. In the vicinity of Saskatoon his work has contributed to Wanuskewin, the Silverspring Prairie and the Northeast Swale. To recognize his achievement, Weichel chose to receive a tree through the Meewasin Plant-A-Tree program. It will be dedicated to the late Marjorie Benson, “an inspirational teacher of his and many others,” according to a news release.

Farmers’ market opening for a holiday evening
I
Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express
t may no longer be prime growing season in and around Saskatoon, but the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market is as busy as ever. Having moved completely indoors at their River Landing location, the market still serves up everything from root vegetables and canned preserves to natural, handmade bath and body products. Full-time market merchants The Garlic Guru, Prairie Pantry, Riverbend Plantation Café and Wild Cuisine catering are open six days a week (Tuesday to Sunday) year-round, serving up hot lunches or that special ingredient you need to complete a meal. Following in the footsteps of its counterpart in Regina, this year the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market is holding a Holiday Evening Market on Dec. 12 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eager, well-stocked vendors are ready to provide you with a locally produced answer to that hard-to-buy for recipient on your giving list. The evening market will also be offering up notable treats and events to lure you out after work for a very special local-shopping experience. “We wanted a way to celebrate our customers and thank them for their support over the entire year,” said Sue Echlin, president of the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market Association. “We also wanted to open the market up to new people who hadn’t
discovered the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market yet, perhaps because they didn’t have time during the day or just hadn’t heard about us. And what better way to thank our current customers and bring in new ones than a really fun party?” A party it will be, with adult refreshments from small local wineries and distilleries, carolers, and appetizer plates made fresh in the market kitchen by renowned local chefs. “We are constantly in search of new ideas to expand our market's reach by broadening our horizon in supporting local,” said Deb Claude, manager of operations at the market. “As SLGA has opened the doors for small cottage wineries, distilleries and breweries to sell their products at farmers' markets, we will be offering these refreshments throughout the evening. Plan to come hungry as there will be a large variety of food items to choose from. And enjoy some great local music by some very talented musicians, such as Wayne Bergen.” “There will be a number of tasty, diverse and unique products available that evening,” said Echlin. “The Saskatoon Farmers’ Market is based on the ‘make it, bake it, grow it principle.’ So when you shop at the market you know you are getting the best local produce, foods, beverages, health care and crafts available in the city. “You will be able to gather the ingredients for an amazing family feast, get the

wine, beer or spirits to pair with it, find candles for the table and gifts for under the tree. And most likely you will get to meet the person who grew the tomato or created the craft because they will be the ones selling it to you.” Claude is pleased to announce a unique partnership for the evening of the holiday market. “We are very excited to confirm that the Saskatoon Blades will also be on site signing autographs and selling their merchandise throughout the evening,” she said. “This is a fantastic addition to our evening's events for all ages.”

The carol is a classic based on an 1863 poem, Christmas Bells, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, which comes with the plea for renewed hope and peace for mankind. Once known as Saskatchewan’s Singing Farmer, Loiselle has given up farm life, has a home in Saskatoon and is now a developer for a Saskatchewan lake property.

Roxanne Woodley
Has always had entrepreneurial spirit Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express Walking into Saskatoon’s Tonic, A Shop For Women, is like walking into a candy store for a lot of local shoppers. Tonic’s owner, Roxanne Woodley, or Roxy as her friends call her, is a seasoned Saskatoon entrepreneur. She has been in business since her early 20s when her original foray into retail opened on Broadway Avenue, where Luxe Condominiums now loom. “Stuff” was Woodley’s curated collection of all things retro, cool and vintage. As the name suggested, you never knew what you were going to get. “I can’t believe how naive I was,” said Woodley, now a mother of three. As Stuff evolved from an experiment with a vintage decor into customized tshirt/bunny hug-type fare, Woodley made the classic mistake of growing too big too quickly. Now in her 30s, she credits those mistakes as valuable lessons she’s applied to evolve Tonic into the success story it is today. “I’ve always had that entrepreneurial spirit,” she said. “When I was 16 and in high school in Saskatoon, I’d make cheesecakes and try and sell them to local coffee shops.” Like so many entrepreneurs, Woodley credits her good business sense to her Saskatchewan upbringing. “My grandpa had a general store in the middle of Nowhere, Saskatchewan,” she said. “It wasn’t even in a town; it was just close to a few farms. But he made a business out of it. Inside the store was a little barbershop, and you got your flour and sugar and your sweets. It was a successful enterprise in a place where no business had any business operating.” Woodley’s memories of her grandfather’s store not only drive her ingrained passion for building retail success, but harken back to that habit she has of collecting vintage goodies. “My husband calls me a hoarder,” she said with a laugh. Many of her finds still
Roxanne Woodley opened her first business when she was in her early 20s (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) have a place in her retail environment today, serving as fun, unique backdrops for all the on-trend goodies found in either Tonic location. “As a little kid we’d spy a big candy jar at a garage sale and my dad would say, ‘Your grandfather used to have those in his store,’” she said. “So of course I had to have it.” Woodley gets into a spirited description of what drives her to keep climbing the entrepreneurial ladder. It’s an attitude she describes as “Prairie culture.” “I want to emulate those hard working, original Prairie settlers,” she said. “Our grandparents and great-grandparents carved their own paths, made their own existence with whatever they had to work with. They identified problems and created solutions. That, really, is what defines entrepreneurship.” One of the first businesses to make the move over to Saskatoon’s trendy downtown Second Avenue and sticking it out through the notorious “Second and 22nd”
years, the bright and spacious Tonic boutique is enticingly full, but it’s not packed to “why-bother” levels. Displays are inspiringly pulled together, while shelves are artfully arranged throughout. Tonic also has a location in Saskatoon’s Broadway district, which is smallish, but with a clean, modern decor and well-organized layout. Woodley goes for everything shopper’s love about great boutique shopping — a style bounty accompanied by loads of shiny, textured accessories. And she ensures it’s affordable. “It really is a shop for women,” she said. “I want moms to feel as comfortable as their daughters shopping my stores.” Thanks to classy, tailored coordinates lined up alongside the fun, flirty pieces favoured by teens, Woodley meets her goal.
“I make sure we stock up on well-fitting and flattering designs in plenty of sizes,” she said. Tonic is located at 122 Second Avenue North (306-975-1529) and at 802b Broadway Avenue (306-652-2252). Check out Woodley’s latest project, Farminista, at www.farminista.com. Furthering her passion for all things prairie and vintage, she describes the website as “a craftily curated collection of vintage-inspired fashion and JW11251.L09 home decor.”

here’s a new store in town. And its name alone is enough to draw attention. Spank recently opened downtown on 21st Street East. It features exclusive women’s fashion. Based out of Vancouver and established in 2002, the store was due for an out-of-province expansion. After doing research, the owner decided Saskatoon was a market she could not refuse. “We know that Saskatoon is up and coming and there is a niche for certain fashion,” said Paloma Renaud, the manager at Spank. “This location became available in the city and we had to snatch it up. In Vancouver we have four locations, so this is the first one out of British Columbia.” For consumers, buying at Spank all but guarantees you won’t see your outfit on many other women in the city. Featuring what Renaud calls “a European hipster” flair, the store is adorned with dresses, vintage to modern-day sweaters, shoes, funky jewelry and more. “We really like to pay attention to detail, and the quality of fabrics while keeping the price still reasonable,” she said. “It definitely gives off that impression of a higher price point, so people come in and they are pleasantly surprised. “The big draw is our house brand — Lost and Found. We have our own Vancouver-born designer, Sylvia Lee. She collaborates with our owner with her European flair for fashion and her understanding of what customers want and need. This will be the only store in JW11247.L09 Saskatoon where you can find it.” Renaud James said Saskatoon is more than

City to add “burns” to environmental tool belt
T
By Gary Pedersen
his year a new tool was added to the City of Saskatoon Parks Division’s Naturalized Areas management — prescribed fire. Prescribed fire is defined as the deliberate use of fire to manipulate landscapes toward a set objective. Fire has long been recognized as an agent of change and a force for renewal in nature. Our prairie landscapes are no exception and are particularly well adapted to fire. Many of our native plants have such a close association with fire that they can be considered dependent on fire for their survival. This is particularly true of our native grasses, which respond to fire with both renewed growth and vigour. A good example is blue grama grass or “prairie wool,” which will tiller (send up new shoots) prolifically after a fire. Fire also benefits native trees such as trembling aspen, and it plays a pivotal Nature Notes role in aspen-forest regeneration. By tree standards, individual aspen above ground are short lived — on average roughly 75 years. Historic fire cycles on the Prairies were frequent, keeping aspen stands vigorous and healthy. Few aspen die of old age. Even though the above-ground portions of an aspen can die back after a fire, the roots are still alive and respond by sending up new plants (called suckers) from below RS31420.L09 ground.
Rob
When the conditions are right, fire can be used to effectively regenerate a natural landscape (Photo by Gary Pedersen) In contrast to these positive effects, the absence of fire can have negative effects on native plants. One good example is a plant disease known as black knot. Black knot is a fungal disease that is specific to members of the cherry family and is widespread in chokecherry along our riverbank. If nature had been allowed to take its course, fire would have periodically destroyed the top growth of chokecherry, allowing the roots to send up new disease-free shoots. Black knot would then be far less prevalent and conspicuous than it is today within our city. Co-incidentally, chokecherry seed germination is also improved with heat treatment, suggesting that the seed is adapted to scarification by fire — the disruption of the seed coat to make it permeable to air and water. After considering all of the effects of fire, the decision was made to reintroduce fire into selected parts of the urban land-
#1
scape. The application of prescribed fire is only resurrecting a natural process of change, which dovetails so perfectly with the Naturalized Area objectives of selfsustaining landscapes and biodiversity. Prescribed fire in an urban setting is not a new innovation. It has been used within the City of Winnipeg and also within our own city limits. In the past the Meewasin Valley Authority (MVA) has used fire in the Saskatoon Natural Grasslands and the North East Swale. It was because the MVA had already performed prescribed fires within the city — and demonstrated that it could be done safely — that the parks division decided to initiate a program. Now that parks staff have obtained training from Parks Canada and prescribed fire-field experience with the MVA earlier this year, we are confident in our ability to conduct safe burns. Performing a burn within an urban area has plenty of challenges and a small
margin for error. Both ground and weather conditions have to be just right in order to minimize the risks, especially with respect to managing smoke. However, the parks division fully intends to proceed with a carefully managed burn program despite the challenges. Gabriel Dumont Park, one of the city’s first naturalized parks, will be the site to initiate the program. And since we share many of the same burn objectives as the MVA, we intend to cooperate in pooling our resources. In this way we can both achieve our common goal of maintaining healthy and biodiverse natural areas. Gary Pedersen is Naturalized Area Supervisor with the City of Saskatoon Parks Division and writes for the Saskatoon Nature Society.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Push-ups and pushovers at Victoria’s Secret store
• Thinking about the Ottawa RedBlacks stocking their roster next week brought back memories of the CFL dispersal draft in 1995. In the fourth round, Ottawa selected defensive end Derrell Robertson from the bankrupt Las Vegas Posse. It was a move stranger than the Gliebermans or Horn Chen. Robertson was dead. “I don’t know how it happened,” then-Ottawa coach Jim Gilstrap said. “The league didn’t know until we told them.” Let’s hope next week Ottawa only picks deadwood and deadweight. • Janice Hough, on the Toronto Raptors blowing a 27-point third-quarter lead against the Golden State Warriors: “It was the most embarrassing thing to happen to Toronto recently not involving Rob Ford.” • From Torben Rolfsen: “The NBA’s Atlantic Division is so bad the Washington Generals would contend in it.” • From TC Chong: “The funniest call ever on Monday Night Football was made last week by referee Ed Hochuli: ‘There was no delay of game, as the refs had not completed switching balls.’ Wow, it must have been colder than it looked on TV.” • Hough, on Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett not being able to get a reservation at a top Seattle restaurant until he pretended to be Russell Wilson: “Of course he’s not the first. Geno Smith has been impersonating an NFL quarterback for most of the season.” • Rolfsen, after Heat guard Roger Mason and his family were robbed at gunpoint in a Miami restaurant: “They were the worst crime victims in the NBA this season other than Knicks season-ticket holders.” • From Bill Littlejohn: “In an upcoming movie tentatively titled Ballers, LeBron James and Kevin Hart will reportedly play brothers. Well, if Schwarzenegger and DeVito can do it. ....” • A man pleaded guilty in a San Diego court last week to stealing $360,000 worth of ink cartridges from a government agency. The man assured the judge it was not a copycat crime. • From Littlejohn: “Chip Kelly says Nick Soles will be Philly’s starting quarterback ‘for the next 1,000 years.’ Or until JW11220.L09 the Cubs win a World Series. Whichever comes first.” James
• From Rolfsen: “The Iron Bowl scored a massive 82 share on Birmingham, Alabama TVs. The other 18 per cent were watching a Honey Boo Boo marathon.” • Hough, on Carmelo Anthony saying the New York Knicks are the “laughingstock of the league” right now: “And the Milwaukee Bucks are thinking, ‘What are we, chopped liver?’” • The top five searches on Yahoo! this year have been Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian, Kate Upton, Minecraft and Selena Gomez. I didn’t know what Minecraft is, so I Googled it. • Littlejohn, on President Obama saying he wants to host SportsCenter when he retires: “This just in: the ESPN website just crashed.” • A former Victoria’s Secret employee told Business Insider that sales staff love it when men come into the store. They are easy to take advantage of because they will “buy anything in order to get out of the store as quickly as possible.” The joke’s on her. Whenever I go into a Victoria’s Secret store I hope somebody will take advantage of me. • Chong, on archeologists in Spain claiming DNA tests on a newly-unearthed skeleton show it to be over 400,000 years old. “CSI Pamplona forensics researchers concluded the person’s injuries are consistent with someone running down a street and being trampled by a dinosaur.” • From Rolfsen: “The Seattle Seahawks crowd at CenturyLink Field set a new noise record last Monday night. It was so loud the Boeing flight-test facility phoned in a noise complaint.” • Hough, on Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin being fined $100,000 for his sideline interference with Jacoby Jones: “Hmm. Sounds like Tomlin could have saved $50,000 by just spilling a drink on him.” • From Littlejohn: “On the Auburn sidelines during the game with Alabama was a sewing machine. No wonder they found a seam in Alabama’s defence.” • You know the play where Vernon Davis of the San Francisco 49ers was pulled down by his penis? I could have broken that tackle.

Views of the World
The Bombers
bursting in the air
By RJ Currie • A New York firm claims to be selling the world's first alcoholic, beer-flavoured ice cream. They call it Frozen Pints. Knicks fans call it cold comfort. • British Olympic diver Tom Daley came out and admitted he has been dating a man. This from a guy who spends his time trying not to make waves? • Rumour has it Winnipeg's CFL team has a new fight song, the Star Spangled Bomber. First lyric? O'Shea can you succeed? • The RCMP arrested an Ontario man for trying to sell the Canadian navy’s shipbuilding secrets. Isn't that like the Chicago Cubs selling championship-building secrets? • If The Guess Who were a curling team, I’d make the skip Button Cummings. • Homeland star Morena Baccarin told People Magazine her one-month-old son was a breech birth. Boy, you think you know a baby, and then it turns on you. • The Blackhawks and Stars needed 11 shootout rounds before Chicago finally put one in the net. I haven’t seen so many botched scoring chances since I was dating. • The Blue Bombers hiring an unproven, Canadian head coach is being called a bold move. For their sake let’s hope it doesn't turn into a Reinebold move. • Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was accused of occupying another fan’s seat at the Bills-Falcons game. Turns out he was just overlapping it.

has never been a better time for guys to say, “Honey, let's watch The Bridges of Madison County.” • The governor of Ohio wants to ban the letter “M.” I find myself hoping a Buckeye gets arrested for possession of arijuana. • Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said his dream job is in Texas. So is mine: choreographer to the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. • Justin Bieber reportedly got a tattoo somewhere on his upper arm. He wanted it on his bicep, but they couldn't find one. • How’s this for disproportionate? Cavaliers forward Andrew Bynum has played about two hours since June 2012 and earned $20 million. The combined 2013 salary cap for the CFL West? $17.6 million. • Two Reliant Stadium security guards were fired for posing for a picture with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. As if the Texans aren’t insecure enough.

Istanbul
Making new friends in interesting places
I
STANBUL — There was a tiny grocery store near our hotel here. We’d buy our bottled water, along with occasional cans of Efes beer from the cheerful fellow who operated the store. It was an emporium so small its customer capacity was limited to three. Any newcomers waited at the doorstep, squeezing themselves against the walls to allow the served patrons to vacate the shop. The store was always open. Or at least that’s how it seemed. The owner always beamed a smile and had a cheerful word for everyone who entered his little world of commerce. My wife and I looked forward to our twice-daily trips to his store. One morning when we went to buy our four-litre bottle of water, our friend was enjoying a breakfast of borek. With a smile and welcoming wave, he invited us to join him at his countertop. Soon we were enjoying the traditional, rich, flaky pastry that sometimes has cheese or meat as a filling. We ate in silence, though language issues were not a barrier this time. Words were Travel not required to enjoy this impromptu culinary companionship. It was just a simple offering and acceptance of genuine hospitality. There were also three young guys who ran a small pide (pronounced peday) diner near the tram stop we used. It was another case of a simple business transaction turning into a friendship. Hungry on our way back to the hotel late one evening, the aromas drifting from their open door lured us inside. After ordering a couple of glasses of chilled ayran (a popular yogurt drink), we selected the toppings for our pide — a boat-shaped version of pizza. At about $5, it is a popular meal for both Istanbul residents and budget-minded tourists. As we watched the dough being rolled out, toppings sprinkled on and the pide finally being pushed on a long-handled paddle into the woodburning oven, our young waiter asked us where we were from. It was a question many a curious person would ask during our stay. “Ah Canada,’’ he said, no doubt conjuring up mental images of the red serge, moose, mountains and snow. “It is a nice place Canada?’’ he asked. Ever loyal, we nodded enthusiastically, not mentioning the Senate scandal, the danger of Don Cherry losing his job or those pesky oil-sand issues. It would have been lost in translation anyway. He shook his head and went over to share the news of our nationality with his friends behind the small counter. We knew this because all three looked over towards us and smiled. Soon there were more questions. Did we like Turkey? What did we think of their city? How about Turkish food? By the time our pides arrived, our new pals had drifted one by one away from our conversation, caught up by a new onslaught of hungry customers looking for some tasty late-night calories. As we began eating our piping-hot supper, our waiter came over and smiled. “Good is it?’’ ML42058.K09 “Yes, very good,’’ my wife answered. MaryCanada, it is very wealthy, yes? “This

The owner of a tiny convenience store in Istanbul insisted on sharing his breakfast with us (Photo by Peter Wilson) “I suppose,’’ I said a little tentatively, recalling the recent stats about our ever-growing household debt and thinking about my wellused credit card. He sighed, nodded and began to walk away. Then he turned back to us and smiled his shy smile. “Canada is rich. Istanbul very beautiful, but I think not so rich.’’ From our adventures and the friends we made, Istanbul is far richer than he thought.

Real-life Makeover
K
D
By Susan Kesler
ear Lianne I am 82 years old and have fallen in love with a man 10 years my junior. Can you imagine! I have been married. My husband drank and ran around right up until he finally passed away. This new fellow is amazing. He makes me feel like a teenager again. His wife died a year ago. He keeps on asking my age and I chuckle and say, “I am 18.” I am not going to tell him my age for fear he might look for a younger woman. What should I do? — Helen B.
elly wanted a new look. She’s had long hair for many years, wears no makeup and was ready for a change. For the past 30 years she has been involved in Saskatoon community theatre — with Summer Players, Gateway, and Ageless Players. She has directed and produced plays and musicals, as well as acted. Off stage, Kelly is married, works fulltime and has twin daughters in high school. Each member of her family is actively involved in the arts in Saskatoon. Kelly is one busy mom! Since Kelly does not usually wear makeup, I kept her look natural and easy for her to replicate. For eye makeup I used a smoke eyeliner, black mascara and eye-shadow crayons in taupe and off-white to “open” her eyes. These crayons are goof proof; even a novice can get the hang of it when it comes to eye shadow. With the addition of some blush and a neutral lipstick, she looks terrific and not overdone. Her new shorter hairstyle updates her look. And it is wash and wear for her busy lifestyle. Kelly looks best in blue-based colours. See how her face looks more alive when she’s wearing the turquoise top? Accessories such as the gold earrings and a necklace add interest to her outfit.

LIANNE TREGOBOV
Relationships
Dear Helen, If it is not broke, don’t fix it! He obviously enjoys you for you. I truly do not see the need to tell him your age. Many men in his age group have been conditioned not to date women older than them. He may fear losing another partner once he realizes you are 10 years his senior. There are never any guarantees in life. Men typically pass away sooner than women of the same age. My best advice to you is to cherish your time together and have fun. The next time he asks your age simply say, “You would be happy to be any age he would like you to be.”
Dear Lianne, When going out with someone for the first time, you urge people not to go for coffee. Why is that, and what would you suggest? — Marina Z.

Dear Marina, I always suggest to my clients that on first dates they avoid going out for coffee, dinner or drinks. These activities typically place too much stress on the individuals. I often recommend planning an activity where there is a distraction rather than a “stare down.” I recommend a place where you can have fun and be yourself. Bowling, mini golfing, shooting pool or even going to an auction are possibilities. Sitting across from one another in a restaurant is an unnatural and intimidating way to get to know someone. Lianne will be interviewing in Saskatoon on Dec. 10-11. Call now (204-888-1529) to book your appointment. Questions for this column can be submitted to camelotintroductions@mymts.net.

Tommy Gun’s
plied)
offers shaves, just haircuts for men
W
Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express
ith a booming economy and growing population, Saskatoon was ripe for old-fashioned barbering in modern, manly settings, according to those involved in a new hairstyling franchise. Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop was scheduled to open its first location in Saskatoon last week (at Millar Avenue and 51st Street). A second will open soon in Stonebridge. “It’s all about convenience,” said Richard Worth, the spokesperson for the Saskatoon franchisees. “I know myself that I want quick, easy, accessible service. Tommy Gun’s is not your conventional salon.” He said an automatic check-in system makes the process quick and easy. “You go in, and it’s like a touch-screen computer. You walk up to it and log in. You have your own profile after you go there once. You type in your name, and it will pop up. And it will put you in a queue. Basically you can sit down and there will be refreshments — eight types of pop, water and juice.” If you don’t want to sit and wait your turn, you can leave the shop and will receive a text when your name is at the top of the list. He said the atmosphere is conducive to men’s hair styling. “Our shops have a very rugged look,” Worth said. “It’s bricks, steel, red-leather chairs, televisions behind each station to check out the sports scores. We have arcade games at the front.”
A Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop opened last week in Saskatoon (Photo Supplied) The services offered are like those at old-time barber shops. There are cuts for all heads of hair and for males of all ages. Each comes with a scalp massage. Tommy Gun’s also has a number of shave packages — an original neck cleanup, a classic shave and a mustache, goatee and beard cleanup. Worth thought the time was right for Tommy Gun’s to move into Saskatoon. “Saskatoon has a very diverse and vibrant economy. Now is the ideal time to bring a business model like this to Saskatoon.” Tommy Gun’s CEO Jason Volk agreed. “Saskatoon is a booming market of
rapid expansion with a strong economy that we think fits exceptionally well with the Tommy Gun’s brand. We are super excited to launch in this province, but also to bring our business and be a part of this great community,” he said. Worth said there was a buzz about the arrival of Tommy Gun’s before the doors opened at its 51st Street and Millar Avenue location. “A bride-to-be was looking to set up shaves for her future husband and groomsmen.” Worth said the decision to open on Millar Avenue was based partly on the large number of men working in the industrial area.
Thank You! With your generous support, this year’s Dinner Date raised an outstanding $260,000! All money raised will support our community. We would like to extend a big thank you to all our United Way Dinner Date 2013 supporters. And our special thanks goes to Shelley and Murray Brown for making the Saskatoon community part of their Outstanding Balance.

“There is easy access and lots of parking. It’s a great area for getting your hair done over the lunch hour or just after work.” He said Stonebridge is attractive because of its steady residential and commercial growth. The shop is expected to open in early January. Worth said approximately 20 people will be employed at each shop. There are 10 chairs — expandable to 12 — at the Millar location. There will be nine at Stonebridge. “Everybody that cuts your hair is experienced and has been in the industry,” he said. Tommy Gun’s head office is in Red Deer. There are shops in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. For more information visit www.tommy-guns.ca.
