Brush, paint and paper new niche for Katz
T
he talents of Saskatoon’s Patricia Katz are rather overwhelming. She has written six books, written newspaper columns for seven years and a weekly online column for 13 years. She also possesses a strong social-media presence. A successful 25-year speaking and training career led to her induction into the Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame in 2010. Who knew that one day Katz would dip into the reservoir of talent to turn her hobby of ink and water colours into the recently published book, Sketches of Saskatoon. In just six weeks leading up to Christmas her publication gained People a spot on McNally Robinson’s Top 10 non-fiction bestsellers for 2013. The momentum is still building. “I took my first classes in sketching and water colours about 12 years ago,” said Katz. “Brush, paint and paper quickly laid claim to my heart. Now everywhere I go, especially on holidays, I take my sketchbook and a box of watercolours. I make meaningful memories of every trip. “A couple of years ago I noted that although many local artists have created well-defined works of Saskatoon landmarks, no one had ever produced a book where these artistic works were put together under one cover. I took photographs, sketched on location, created images in my studio and chose what I thought were the best for a book.” Sketches of Saskatoon features more than 40 works. She’s sketched the Meewasin Valley trail, the University and Broadway bridges, the Delta Bessborough Hotel, the Vimy Memorial, downtown cathedrals and timepieces, the University of Saskatchewan and Innovation Place Gardens. She captured the action at the children’s festival and the jazz festival, the Meewasin skating rink, the Bus Stop in front of the Bessborough, Shakespeare on the
NED POWERS
Sketches of Saskatoon Patricia Katz took up etching and water colours 12 years ago (Photo Supplied) Saskatchewan, the sites along Broadway Avenue and the Prairie Lily riverboat. “Sketching these images took anywhere from two hours to two weeks, depending upon the amount of detail and the number of attempts. Because The Bessborough is so iconic, so recognizable in its architecture, it was one image that took more time than any other,” said Katz. She wrote the passages in the book to accompany the sketches. Design and layout for the pages was done by Brian Kachur. Praise for the book has been overwhelming, but none more touching than a letter Katz posted on the website last week. It came from a woman who has lived in British Columbia for more than 20 years.
The woman loved “the heartfelt tribute to a charming city,” adored the special memories of the city she still calls her hometown and concluded by saying, “My heart belongs to Saskatoon. I am so grateful for your insight in producing this treasure.” Sketches of Saskatoon is available at book stores, galleries and gift shops for $19.95. The book can be previewed at www.sketchesofsaskatoon.com, and inquiries about individual images can be sent to sketches@pauseworks.com. Born in Saskatoon, Katz was raised on a family farm by her parents (Norman and Ruth Thoen) at Viscount. She remembers early plunges into creativity. At eight years of age she won her first oratory contest by
reciting the poem Pitipat. When she was nine she and a cousin wrote a play and staged it under the maple tree in the farmyard. Later she’d take part in 4-H public speaking events. “My parents encouraged me in everything. I loved to write, and I’d go out to the pasture to write poems and stories. I’d send them to the YC Pages at the Western Producer and check every Thursday to see if my name was in print that week.” In 1969 she entered a sewing contest sponsored by Eaton’s department store and won top prize in Saskatchewan. “Mom and I went to Toronto where I modelled three outfits in the national competition. That was a big confidence-builder for me.” (Continued on page 4)

CAM HUTCHINSON Editor
I ADMIRE PEOPLE that can take a good selfie. I can only take a good barfie. I see people take their cellphones, extend an arm and put on the perfect selfie face. The photos are fun. Why can’t my photos be more like Joelle Tomlinson’s? She takes great selfies. Even Kevin Stanfield, the big lug on the Global morning show, takes pretty good ones. When I hold my phone in the selfie position, I see a head of graying hair and eyes that look like I’ve been on a bender for a week. And the glasses have to go. Do they sit that crooked on my face all the time? Why at my age do I have a zit drawing attention to my receding hairline? I just took three selfies. Click. Click. Click. In the first one I was the serious Cam. I deleted it. I looked seriously stupid. The second and third ones were of the life-of-theparty Cam. See me? Mr. Happy? The one thing I like about the photo is my ears. When I was young, I had the Prince Charles tea cups happening. I didn’t help that my father made me have a brush cut. He even did the brush cutting. I can still smell the clipper fluid. He relented a couple of years ago and my head has finally grown into those big old elephants. The reason I bring this up is because the photograph Ellen DeGeneres took at the Academy Awards might be the best selfie ever. How often can you get Jared Leto, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Peter
The Painted Hills stunning colourful landscape offer great photographic opportunities. They are located 75 miles east of Bend, Oregon. This area was originally a river floodplain. The hills were formed over 35 million years ago by different volcanic eruptions and changing climate patterns. This extraordinary landscape is one of a kind. (Photo by Jim Brompton) Nyong’o Jr., Channing Tatum, Julia Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong’o and Angelina Jolie in one photo? Not often. That’s Hollywood royalty, minus Adam Sandler. I’m thinking Ellen’s shot even tops the one President Obama took with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and British Prime Minister David Cameron. I thought it was a bit disrespectful that Obama took the shot at Nelson Mandela’s funeral. That said, I have seen a selfie with an open casket in the background. I took my selfies while sitting at my desk. Before snapping them, I checked to make sure no one was in the vicinity. I like to think it will be a one and done, but the photo is growing on me. I texted it to Sandy and she came back with a “Haha! Nice face!” I think she was being sincere. ***** LAST MONTH we featured photographer Jim Brompton and his art. Jim has done some shooting in

At or near the top of the list of mental challenges must be notifying next of kin of a loved one’s death. It is one of the things Sgt. Barbar does as part of his duties. He didn’t sign up for that, but it goes with the number of stripes on his uniform. Sgt. Barbar shares his thoughts in a column on Page 6.

Woman connects Filipino caregivers with families
Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express aphne Lavina was helping people immigrate to Canada long before she did so herself. “I’ve always wanted to come to Canada. It was a childhood dream of mine,” said Lavina, a Saskatoon business owner who originally hails from Oroquieta City in the Philippines. “My dad had a sister in Toronto, and when I was a little girl she would show me pictures of Canada. When I started working for a Canadian immigration consulting firm in the Philippines, that dream grew and grew.” Today the busy mother of two owns and operates Saskatoon-based ACES Connections Consultancy Inc., an immigration consultancy firm which specializes in connecting Filipino nannies and caregivers with Canadian families. Lavina accepted work with Canadian immigration consultants in the Philippines as soon as she graduated from college. It’s what she has been doing ever since. Making the journey herself to Saskatoon further elevated and amplified her experience and expertise in Canadian immigration. “My whole family moved to Saskatoon in 2000,” said Lavina. “It was sort of what I expected. But once I was here I got to really experience the challenges of being a new immigrant. Our first challenge was the language. I thought I spoke good English in the Philippines. I found out quickly that I had a lot more to learn.” Her next biggest obstacle was finding child care for her children. “Back in the Philippines it’s easy to find nannies, and it’s very economical,” she said, noting that her family was considered a standard middle-class family. “My kids were ages one and two when we came here. When we left the Philippines, they each had
D
Daphne Lavina owns an immigration consulting business (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) a nanny, plus we had a housekeeper and laundry person. When I arrived here I had to do everything myself.” Filling that void in her family’s life drove Lavina to want to assist others in doing the same thing. “I’ve seen the need,” she said. “Having a live-in nanny can equal almost the same in cost as bringing your child to day care. I’ve experienced taking my kids to day care: waking them up and dressing them and taking them out to the car. When you have a live-in nanny you know someone is there for them. You have a clean home when you come home, and you have food on your table.” Filipino caregivers understand that their job entails more than child care, said Lavina. “Their main job is to take care of the kids or the elderly. That’s a Canadian government requirement. But when the kids are out of the way, they can do housekeeping, laundry and cooking for you. It’s not something you negotiate; it’s part of the package. They know that’s part of the package.” Lavina’s nannies and caregivers have a nursing background. They also may have completed a six-month intensive live-in caregiving training program in the Philippines. With a crisis of inadequate staffing and aging infrastructure in Saskatchewan nursing homes, live-in caregiving provides an alter-
native for seniors and their families facing tough decisions. “It’s nice to see seniors get to stay in their home instead of going to a care home,” she said. “My clients would attest to the fact that their parents greatly benefit from being able to stay in their familiar homes and be taken care of by someone who they have grown to trust.” For senior clients that require 24-hour care, the family may hire more than one caregiver. Lavina is certain that the live-in caregiver option for seniors is alleviating some of the burden on Saskatchewan health regions, and it could go a lot further. “Oh definitely,” she said. “The wait lists for elderly care homes are very long. I had a client in Wadena who had been hoping to get their dad in a care home, but the closest option was an hour away. Their mom would have had to travel an hour each way to be with her husband. I was able to provide them with two live-in caregivers, which means that they can keep their father and mother together in their family home.” Despite the potential benefits to the provincial health-care system, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health confirmed that promoting the option of a live-in caregiver for seniors, as opposed to moving into a nursing home, is not on its radar.
The approximate cost for one live-in caregiver is $1,700 a month, less deductions and a small surcharge for room and board. The federal government sets those rates and is responsible for rubber-stamping visa applications and validating the applicant’s care-giving credentials. Nannies are considered child-care expenses, which are tax deductible. “About 50 per cent of the caregivers that come to Saskatchewan are happy to make that job their career,” said Lavina. “Canada is very generous in their immigration rules. After two years they can apply for permanent residency. Once that’s granted they can apply for their families.” Being able to help families find balance in their work and home life is one of the primary rewards Lavina enjoys about her job. “That’s very fulfilling for me,” she said. “It gives me great joy when nannies are able to get permanent residency, pick up their families at the airport and see them reunified in Canada. “Most employers consider their caregiver as part of the family. That’s the nice thing about Canadians: they’re very open to taking in someone as part of their family.” For more information visit http://www.acescan.com

Elaine’s column on the money
I would like to congratulate Elaine Hnatyshyn for her comments in the March 3 edition of the Saskatoon Express. I agree with all of her points. I fail to see why single-family dwelling residents should be paying more for recycling than do multi-dwelling residents. None of us had a choice regarding this. Why would that apply to multi-dwelling residents? Cosmo Industries’ contract is in effect until 2018. It is imperative that these individuals contribute to our community in methods that give them purpose and dignity. They serve the city well and have done so for many years. Hopefully, they will continue this in the future. I am also unsure as to why this is such a big problem for the city councillors. It seems that they make decisions without considering all of the consequences of that decision. It is going to be very interesting to see how they try to wiggle out of this predicament, which is of their own making. Eileen Bayda

Continued on page 1 he entered the University of Saskatchewan, where she graduated with a degree in home economics in 1973. She then went to work for the university’s Extension Division, where she met and learned from its director, Harold Baker. “One time we were on a trip together, and Harold challenged me to explain what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Years later at one of my book launches I shared this story with my audience. And Harold, who was there, stood up and told me that I did not disappoint.” She worked at the U of S for 14 years. During that time she married David Katz. They settled into home life and began raising two daughters, Tristan and Lindsay. “By the mid-1980s and with a growing family, I needed to be home more often. And yet I needed to work. In 1986 I started my own speaking, training and consulting business, now known as Optimus Consulting. I spoke often. The topics have evolved over the years — from time and organization and stress to life balance and appreciation. I encourage people to explore the positive parts of life. I urge employers to commit to the well-being of their employees, introducing programs which will boost
energy, fuel enthusiasm and inspire insight. I want people to find a more satisfying work and life experience. I want them to find more time for the things that matter.” Her messages have been heard loud and clear. Most of the 40 speaking engagements she still does each year come from word-of-mouth referrals. Her first book (Getting It Together) was a compilation of columns she wrote for The StarPhoenix. It was followed by Home Tips, Work Tips and two editions of Press Pause. Katz has been honoured by the Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan with a 2009 award as existing business
of the year and by the Saskatoon YWCA with a Women of Distinction award for 2010 in leadership and management. She has twice been nominated for the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur award. Nothing explains her journey better than the words she wrote at the end of Sketches of Saskatoon. “On the whole I’m what you might call an appreciative adventurer — someone who finds joy and beauty wherever I am and wherever I go. In art, as in life, I try to share the inspiring message that life Is good. I hope you feel heartened and uplifted in the company of my work.”

First in Canada to stage Equivocation
I
Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express November 1605 in London, England. Five men, including the infamous Guy Fawkes, are planning to kill the King of England. They knew King James I would be attending State Opening of Parliament that month. That’s when they would strike. The gang planned to tunnel beneath the House of Lords chamber, where they would plant enough gunpowder to blow up the chamber and the king along with it. The plot failed, of course, unravelling a true story of betrayal, torture, treason and ultimately, execution. That historically-documented 17th century conspiracy, dubbed the Gunpowder Plot, is the basis for the new production at Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre. The Canadian premiere of Bill Cain’s political drama, Equivocation, runs from March 12-30 at 8 p.m. in Rawlco Radio Hall. “It’s an extraordinarily relevant production,” said Persephone Theatre’s artistic director Del Surjik, who is also directing Equivocation. “It’s about a failed terrorist plot and a government who commissions someone to write their version of what happened.” In Equivocation, the prime minister to King James I commissions ‘Shagspeare’ (yes, it’s Shakespeare) to write a play about the recent Gunpowder Plot, requesting some flattering dialogue about himself (and a few witches) be added to the real life story line. Surjik said Cain asked that the play be performed in modern dress. Surjik suggests that this detail only lends itself further to the modernity of Equivocation’s plot. “Kegs of gunpowder in the 17th century is the equivalent to the weapons of mass destruction supposedly in Iraq,” he said. “It’s the same story Cheney and Bush tried to pull on the world.

Persephone Theatre Del Surjik is directing Equivocation (Photo Supplied) know how that went. It’s about telling the truth in difficult times, a theme that is just as relevant today as it is anytime. “It’s a thrilling, entertaining story. It’s not weighed down by the notion of the politics. The audience will get to see clips of Macbeth and King Lear before they ever became plays. There’s also a compelling story that unfolds between Shagspeare and his daughter.” Equivocation is a labour of love for Surjik, who has wanted to direct it since he read the script five years ago. It is the only play he is directing at Persephone this season, after vigorously pursuing and becoming the first theatre in Canada to get the rights to the play. “This play has pieces of me that are important to me,” said
Surjik. “It takes the audience right across the whole emotional spectrum. It’s probably one of the most stimulating pieces of theatre they’ll see this season. It’s an astounding piece of writing; you’re going to see actors show off the kind of things that make theatre different from any art form. This group of performers, this play, is going to shine.” The cast includes Scott Bellis, Robert Benz, Chip Chuipka, Nathan Howe, Kris Joseph and Caitlin Robson. Equivocation Tickets: $23-$38. Available at the Persephone Theatre Box Office (306-384-7727) or at www.persephonetheatre.org. Student 2-for-1 tickets for Sunday evenings must be reserved 24 hours in advance.

same property. But I sincerely hope when the city opens this door that it takes into account the concerns of affected residents, incorporates a separate tax levy for such properties and advises the provincial and federal income-taxing authorities, so that those people building suites pay tax on the revenue. Today’s new neighbourhoods are designed to incorporate both single- and multi-dwelling units. If garage/garden suites are the way of the future, then zone those new developing areas for that purpose, and grandfather the existing neighbourhoods. Or at least hold a public vote as to whether this is the direction residents of our city want to take. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

large number of students in need of accommodation. Add to the equation the rapid population growth over the last few years and we have a housing crunch. It has to be addressed, but is adding to the stress on existing family neighbourhoods the right solution? Is it fair to existing homeowners, who may have intentionally purchased houses under one zoning bylaw, to have their quiet use of property and possibly their financial investment negatively impacted? I suspect some homeowners want these suites to generate revenue to assist them in supporting their own home indebtedness.

Panton to play Bassment
Ned Powers Saskatoon Express anadian jazz vocalist Diana Panton is bursting out in Red. Panton, a three-time Juno Award nominee, chose Red as the title of her new CD. She occasionally is adorned in a red dress. And she got the red-carpet treatment while collaborating with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra for the launching of her CD. Panton is a classy songstress who sings from the heart. She makes outstanding selections in material and surrounds herself with some of Canada’s top-rated professional musicians. Appearing on this tour will be Don Thompson (piano, bass), Reg Schwager (guitar) and Phil Dwyer (tenor sax, piano). She will be headlining at The Bassment on March 15 at 8 p.m. There will most definitely be a sampling of Red, her sixth CD. “We will definitely be playing Say It (Over and Over Again) because it is a showcase for Phil, who plays a beautiful introduction and follows with a solo later in the piece,” said Panton. She likes to make the call on album choices and concert set lists, “but it helps to have Don’s input because we play through the selections together. The final selections are the tunes that seem to be the best fits according to the flow and the theme of the album. “Sometimes Don or Reg will make a suggestion for me to consider. Reg introduced me to Love Dance as a possibility for our

Peter Wilson, Saskatoon Express
ISSE, Holland — If this bitter Saskatchewan winter has drained your energy to precipitously low levels, maybe a trip overseas is just the right antidote to kick start the arrival of spring. The delights of this welcome season come early for visitors to the Keukenhof Gardens, Holland’s most famous floral landmark. Without doubt the world’s most beautiful springtime gardens provide a healing panacea for winter-weary Canucks. After soaking in the spectacular colours of the 32-hectare spread, just a half-hour bus drive from the frenetic activity at Schiphol Airport you’ll be overwhelmed with the desire to trade a snow shovel for a garden spade. Located near the small town of Lisse, the gardens have been a crucial advertisement for the important Dutch flower industry since 1949 when bulb growers and exporters created this living billboard for their products. Shipped around the world, Dutch flower bulbs have become a huge export for the Netherlands. The original design for what would become the Keukenhof was modelled on an English-style landscape garden by a Haarlem architect in1850. Some of the magnificent 160-year-old beech trees from that era are still part of the vibrant landscape.
The gardens have a dazzling but all-too-brief season. Keukenhof’s blooming season is timed for spring, so the gardens are only open during that period. The rest of the year is spent in maintenance duties and the painstaking replanting of bulbs for the following spring’s display. But it’s worth the wait. From late March until midMay the garden’s floral patterns — shaped by about seven million spring bulbs — deliver a vivid display of ever-changing colours. With themed pavilions, floral mosaics, a treasure hunt for kids and much more, there’s plenty on offer for visitors of all ages. And be sure to check the events schedule for the Traditional Costume Show, the fabulous annual Flower Parade and plenty of special events during the Easter weekend. A feast for the senses While visitors come for the flower shows and to enjoy the theme pavilion, other attractions include the park’s impressive statue collection. Children delight in exploring the grounds and spending time in the playground, petting zoo and hedge maze. And don’t forget to leave some time to explore the surrounding area, which is awash with fields full of flowers. For more information visit http://www.keukenhof.nl/. ML42268.C10 Mary
Brazilian album. But I ended up saving it for Red, where it seemed more suited to the album’s flow.” The hookup with the Hamilton Philharmonic for the launch was a natural. “I’m from Hamilton and grew up listening to concerts by the Philharmonic Orchestra. Last February we were invited to join the orchestra for a Valentine’s Day concert. Don wrote some absolutely superb arrangements, showcasing our repertoire for a full orchestra. “It was a career highlight, and the show was a great success. We decided to work with the orchestra for the CD launch. And Don wrote the arrangements, which were played by a string quartet.” By day, Panton is a teacher of French and art at a Hamilton secondary school. As a performer she is getting to cross some international boundaries. She has performed in Asia, in Russia (and is going again) and was one of four singers to do a Jazz à Juan Revelations event in France in 2008. With the second Russian trip, which comes April 16-21, she discovered a new way of being recruited. “It came as a surprise when I received the first invite to perform in Russia. The tour organizer was looking for a jazz vocalist to complete his series. He explained that he went online. For a day he listened to vocalists from all over the world and decided on me. What are the chances of that happening?”

to always give back to the community. There were only 20 or so men there, chuckling to themselves (I thought) at their own brilliance in recognizing the odds. One distinguished gentleman offered to us a story of genders at odds. It seems he was travelling in Alaska sometime in the 1990s when he met with a group of women from the lower 48th. The women commented they were attracted to the area because they had heard that the ratio was four men to every one woman. When asked how things had been going, one woman responded with, “Well the odds are good, but goods are odd!” Listening to the presentations, I realized that feminism wasn’t a dirty word in this room. What a relief! Having journeyed through many of the freedoms fought for during the 1960s and 1970s, having been Canada’s first female bellhop, I’ve always thought of feminism as a movement that allowed women to be the females that they are, no matter how they choose to live their lives. It was good to see Aboriginal women being recognized through the awards. Kesha LaRoque, a fourth-year toxicology student, and Danielle Bird, a sociology student, re-
ceived student bursaries from the University of Saskatchewan. The Athena Young Professional honour was won by Jodie Semkiw. In her speech Jean did make a strong cry against rape, violence and abuse towards women, saying that no matter what the level, violence cannot be tolerated. She did talk about disappearing indigenous languages. I waited to hear her speak of the disappearing and missing Indigenous women. In Saskatchewan the existence of statistics of missing Aboriginal women should be seen as a major indicator of the status of all women. While the evening touched on many topics of a serious nature — double standards, glass ceilings and gender inequality — there was an air of celebration within this circle. Somewhere in all of this I thought of my four sons, each aware of the natural strength of women, very respectful and appreciative. I was reminded of a supper conversation, years ago. I was speaking of the latest feminist issue, ensuring that my sons had a good understanding, when Evan responded with, “Mom, I think girls are doing OK!” He was right. Still we need to keep reminding ourselves and one another that we are, and that glass ceilings can be easily shattered.

Ontario police as he walked on a highway. He told police he was “following the sun” after disposing of his personal belongings. At that point Li was briefly hospitalized in Etobicoke. But according to Manitoba psychiatrist Dr. Stanley Yaren, who testified at his trial, Li received no follow-up care after refusing to accept he had a mental illness. Yaran also testified Li was in the midst of a complete psychotic break in 2008 when he killed McLean. By the time Li’s trial rolled around in 2009, Yaran said Li was cooperative and had significantly improved since being hospitalized and medicated. “It would be in some sense easier if Mr. Li was an anti-social psychopath with a history of malicious behaviour, but he isn’t that,” said Dr. Yaren. “He is, as I’ve come to know him, a decent person.” Dr. Yaren went as far as stating that at some point in the future, Li could likely function again in the community. But he admitted that wouldn’t sit well with a lot of people. Well the future is here. And the decision hasn’t sat well. Manitoba Conservative MP Shelly Glover, Federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay and Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger all expressed opposition, declaring the additional freedoms for Li “shocking,” “unsettling” and a matter of “security.” On Bell Canada’s Let’s Talk Day, MacKay expressed his support for “bringing
mental health and mental illness to the attention of Canadians” and sharing “the goal of ending the stigma surrounding mental illness.” In July of this year, Glover will be greeting Olympian Clara Hughes on Parliament Hill on behalf of the Canadian government. That will be after Hughes completes her bike ride across the country to raise awareness for mental health. “We’re very disappointed, embarrassed, ashamed,” Carol DeDelley said last week upon hearing news of Li’s new privileges. “I ultimately do not believe that when you take a life, you have the right to freedom any longer.” The problem with this position, which as you saw, is shared by a number of politicians and pundits, is that it confuses vengeance with justice. By the letter of the law, Li was sentenced to treatment. Rightly or wrongly, his illness exempts him from punishment. If you want to talk about injustice, let’s talk about the fact that the amount of time Li has spent in custody is not that much less than a lot of “normal” — or undiagnosed and untreated — offenders have spent after committing violent crimes. Like many medical conditions, mental illnesses cover a broad spectrum of severity and risk. Vince Li represents one extreme. If we want to talk about it, paying lip service to the thin edge of the wedge is not helping anyone.

Don’t get steamed over cleaning cork floors
REENA NERBAS
Household Solutions
Dear Reena, We have had our second cork floor installed in the kitchen. It is made of the kind of cork that is pre-finished, and no additional sealant is added once the floor is laid. We chose this kind as we are both sensitive to strong smells. In less than a year the first floor started lifting slightly where the boards meet. The company would not take responsibility and made the salesperson who sold it to us pay for it to be replaced because she had advised us to clean it with an electric steamer. The salesperson says she has never seen this happen before and has overseen the laying of many similar cork floors. It has now been replaced, but we
cannot get any clear instructions from the manufacturer as to the safest way to clean this type of cork flooring. Can you advise please? — Sandra Dear Sandra, Great investment! Cork floors are not only beautiful, but also comfortable to stand on. In order to keep cork flooring looking its best, vacuum or sweep the floor regularly. Mop the floor at least once a month making sure not to use excessive water. The floor should be damp not wet. Avoid using harsh cleaners. One tsp of dish soap and one tsp white vinegar added to mop water is all you need. Dear Reena, I have a cast-iron frying pan that I have al-
ways cleaned with oil and a scouring pad. Lately I noticed that there is a lot of grey coming off the pan. What can I do about this? — Shirley Dear Shirley, This is a common result of cooking on high heat. You are best off scrubbing the pan with an abrasive cloth, dish soap and water. Rinse and dry. Put the pan in a pre-heated oven at 350F for 35 minutes. Cool and coat with a thin layer of vegetable oil. I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a motivational speaker for an upcoming event? Check out my website: Reena.ca.

Putting a stop to poorly maintained bus shelters to help pay for the massive infrastructure project. The people of Saskatoon deserve the best infrastructure. Right now people living in the northeast neighbourhoods commute across Circle Drive North Bridge to the employment-rich area of Marquis industrial. We were in Ottawa a week ago, and we were talking to the federal government about this project. The Parkway Bridge will handle 40,000 vehicles a day.

Bridge Study or Traffic Bridge Inspection Reports on the city’s website, you should be able to find a lot of information about the old traffic bridge (www.saskatoon.ca). Those old bridges were originally designed for trains, not vehicles. If you look across Canada, these kinds of bridges have been either demolished or are not in use any longer. Some have said better maintenance would have kept the bridge in service. These bridges weren’t designed to put salt on them. They were designed where you had train tracks, and you don’t have that salt and corrosion that goes with it.

awn McLean Belyk and Kathleen McLean each knew they wanted a future in music since their childhoods in Saskatoon. Today the sisters live thousands of miles apart, but that shared passion for their craft is about to reunite them on stage in their hometown. Kathleen McLean will return to Saskatoon from her position at the esteemed Jacobs school of music in Bloomington, Ind., to join forces with her sister and Saskatoon’s all-city auditioned high school band to perform at the University of Saskatchewan’s Quance Theatre on March 18 at 7:30 p.m. Dawn, who plays bass trombone with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra and is the conductor of the Saskatoon Youth Wind Orchestra, credits her teachers at John Lake School and Aden Bowman Collegiate with inspiring her to pursue her career. “My elementary-school band director, Walter Graham, inspired me the most,” said Dawn. “In Grade 8 I knew that I wanted to be a band director. I started bass trombone in high school and never looked back.” After teaching for five years, she went on to Northwestern University in Chi-
cago to complete her masters of music degree in bass trombone. Upon returning to Saskatoon, Dawn spent the next 30 years teaching music for the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division and playing in the symphony, brass quintet and jazz groups, all while raising her son Jeremy. Meanwhile, Kathleen was on her own musical journey, thanks in part to her sister’s influence. “I knew at about the age of 14 that I wanted to become a professional musician,” said Kathleen. “I grew up surrounded by classical music. My sister would often play recordings of Tchaikovsky symphonic repertoire around the house. I really was captivated with these incredible pieces of music at a very young age.” Kathleen began playing the bassoon at age 11, and by 14 she was performing professionally with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra. Then it was off to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia at the age of 16. In 2009 she accepted a position as professor of music at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. She also performs orchestral concerts with the World Orchestra for Peace conducted by Valery Gergiev. The orchestra is comprised of concert masters and principal players of

major orchestras from all over the world. The sisters are looking forward to their collaboration. “I am super excited to work with my sister. We have never done this before. I know it will be a great experience. Kathleen is an amazing musician, soloist and person and is so much fun,” Dawn said. “Music education in Saskatoon has always been excellent, and I am thrilled to return to Saskatoon and perform as a soloist with my sister’s new group,” said
Kathleen. “She has been a great musical influence on so many young musicians over the years as both a trombonist and music educator. I am so excited to make music with her next week.”

Finding Mr. Right no longer a puzzle
LIANNE TREGOBOV
Relationships
Dear Lianne, I am writing to say thank you for helping me change my life. Six months ago I was searching for someone to share my life with. After yet another failed Internet dating experience, I decided to join your service. I’m glad to say that I’m now happily matched with a man who I adore and who adores me. I can’t explain it except to say that it feels like finding that last elusive puzzle piece and finally making it fit. It’s amazing! I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without help and support
from you. For that I say thank you, thank you, thank you! — In Love Dear In Love, Your story is heartwarming. When I first met you I recognized how much love you had to share with the right person. We tried a few dates that were OK, but just not the right him. When your man called me for the first time, I had a strong intuitive sense and told him I felt that the two of you would be a match. As you know, he was resistant to the match initially. As his matchmaker I coaxed him into stepping
out of his comfort zone and exploring my recommendation — which was you! I saw the magic the two of you would share, and it is so beautiful to witness it. I am so honoured to have been able to connect your two hearts. If there was such thing as a Love Lottery, you two have hit the jackpot. Congratulations. You two are amazing together. (Lianne will be in Saskatoon interviewing people who are looking for love March 18-21 Call now to book your appointment to bring love into your life — 1-204-888-1529.)
