I wasn’t sure where Glenn was, but I didn’t think he was in the park. Thankfully the foreman didn’t ask. It could have been awkward.

On some days that would have been the truth. Few things taste better than a glass of draft on a hot day — especially on company time.

Celebrate life here Company overcomes loss of film tax credits

A

rmed with a law degree and an entrepreneurial spirit, Bob Crowe is one of the leaders of a team which puts a satisfying spin on Saskatchewan’s motion picture and television production industry.

Crowe entered the entertainment business as legal counsel for Granicus Films before becoming its vice-president of finance. Later in legal practice in Calgary and Saskatoon, he had several film companies among his clients. One client, Wally Start, People was approached by Crowe to launch Angel Entertainment in 2000. Since then, Angel has produced millions of dollars’ worth of film and television productions.

Ten years later, Crowe and Start saw an opportunity to diversify their business and bought MG Media Group, a wellestablished video and post-production house. They rebranded it Bamboo Shoots.

“At first we saw the acquisition as a niche opportunity,” said Crowe. “Now with the cancellation of the provincial film tax credits, Bamboo is the tent-pole of our organization.”

Much of the Saskatchewan film and television production industry was decimated following the death of provincial tax

credits, but Bamboo Shoots continued to grow. With the purchase of a 15,000 squarefoot production facility at Main Street and Dufferin Avenue in Saskatoon, the company’s expansion has been impressive. New production business has been coming from major companies, sports franchises and Crown Corporations.

“The loss of the tax credit hurt everybody in the industry in Saskatchewan,” said Crowe. “Many of the producers who create those jobs, and those on production crews, decided to leave the province. Angel Entertainment had a major series in development with the CBC. And the tax-credit cancella-

tion was announced literally while we were in a creative meeting with them in Toronto.

That killed it. The network went with another series in a province where there was a tax credit. We knew we had to rethink our strategy, and Bamboo Shoots was going to be key.”

Today Bamboo Shoots has 30 producers, shooters, editors, graphic designers and business affairs staff on full-time salary in Saskatoon and in their new office in Regina.

They also regularly hire more than 75 freelancers from around the province.

“Our growth comes from a great mix of seasoned professionals and young creative

people passionate about their work,” said Crowe. “We pay attention to management essentials, surround ourselves with good people, and we aren’t afraid to invest.”

One of Bamboo’s biggest contracts is with SaskTel, which orders community programming for their Max Local On Demand television channels.

“SaskTel wants to reach into the communities they serve. They respond to requests from communities, give us our marching orders, and we provide award-winning highdefinition programming for their exclusive broadcast.

Bamboo team produces Rider giant screen images (Continued from page 3) We have the capacity to shoot two live events at the same time, whether it’s an intimate concert at the Broadway Theatre or a six-camera, 16-person crew producing the curling playoffs in Shaunavon.”

Or how about creating the visuals for an audience of 35,000 to 40,000 football fanatics 10 times a year at Regina’s Mosaic Stadium? The images on the giant screen and the graphics around the stadium in the home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders don’t come from a network television feed — they come from Bamboo Shoots.

“We set up our big mobile unit, have six cameras stationed in the park, and everything that appears on the giant screen is from us,” said Crowe. “The Roughriders wanted high-definition television, and we could provide it. They want to own their own footage of the games. Very savvy. They know they’re not just a sports franchise — they’re in the entertainment business. We can help them with that. And what a great first year for us, working with the best team in the league!”

Angel Entertainment also remains very active.

Crowe’s film and television producer credits for Angel are varied: financier on Empire of Dirt, Psychedelic Pioneers, and the first Wapos Bay; writer and creative producer on the dramatic series Rabbit Fall; and producer and executive producer of feature films Shadow Puppets and Stained.

Then there is The Other Side: a 13-episode documentary series which combines paranormal researchers with an aboriginal elder in seeking the truth behind real-life mysteries. It’s just been renewed for another season of 13 productions, which will now move to Manitoba.

Currently the focus is on Big Muddy, a $2-million film which Crowe calls “a modern-day western. It’s about a mother living on the fringes of society who must reconcile her dark past after her teenage son commits a horrible crime.”

Distribution of Angel’s shows reach more than 40 countries.

For Crowe, all this can be attributed to the day he learned that “I didn’t have to do just one thing for the rest of my life.”

He was one of seven children raised in Rosthern.

“One day my dad gathered the family together and announced he was selling the farm, the ChevOlds car dealership and the Massey Ferguson implement dealership. We were moving to Saskatoon, where Dad had been accepted into law school. He was 39 years old and had a family of nine to feed. I never forgot that courage.”

His father, George, went into law. Bob followed.

While he was attending the University of Saskatchewan’s college of law, he was the music director of the college’s Legal Follies, an annual two-night variety show. He acted in plays for Greystone Theatre and Summer Players. He once performed the role of Jesus in Greystone Theatre’s production of Godspell. He played guitar and keyboards in local bands and developed an interest in creative writing.

After graduation and a brief working time in Calgary, he returned to Saskatoon.

Soon he was the president of the Saskatoon Jazz Society.

“Jim Hill was the driving force back then. And we put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into finding our first permanent home in the Glengarry Block.

Then the club really took root in the community.”

As a lawyer he incorporated Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan Festival and the Saskatchewan Motion Picture Association. He has served on many boards.

Playing polo was among his other hobbies.

Together with Michael Sifton and Jim Underhill, he bought Willow Ridge Stables, where they built a polo field and established a playing club.

“I quit playing about eight years ago. But just a few months back I signed up for 10 days of polo in Buenos Aires,” he said with a laugh. “I lasted five days and had to admit there may be some challenges I’m no longer willing to tackle.”

Jazz Festival offers feast for ears

ohn Legend’s name first surfaced in January as a possible SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival headliner.

“We knew he was going to do extensive touring in North America this summer, and we started to make inquiries,” said Kevin Tobin, the Saskatchewan festival manager.

“When both our festival and the Winnipeg festival offered up almost back-to-back dates, it was a clincher to acquiring him. We like artists from the soul and rhythm, and the blues genre. He gives us a fresh face and a sound we haven’t had before.”

Legend, with nine Grammy awards to his credit, will headline on the TD Main Stage at the Delta Bessborough Gardens on June 22.

He’s a multi-award-winning singer and songwriter who has just released a new CD — Love in the Future — which features the noteworthy track All of Me. Colin James, originally from Regina and now based in Vancouver, will open the Saskatchewan festival for a second year in a row, performing at the outdoor Gardens on June 20.

Another acquisition for the main stage is St. Vincent, a guitarist who released her third album —

John Legend (Wiki Photo) Strange Mercy — in 2011 and has appeared on all of America’s biggest talk shows while establishing sold-out tours in the United States.

She will headline on June 23.

Saskatoon is the only festival city in Western Canada that uses a large outdoor venue: Bessborough Gardens. Tobin said booking the talent is often a challenge. He is promising eight shows at the Gardens, and pending some negotiations still under way, he may land a ninth.

There have been two more signings for the Broadway Theatre. Arturo Sandoval is a Cuban trumpeter and pianist, nine-time Grammy award winner and a 2013 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom (June 20). Charles Lloyd plays tenor sax and flute, and he is a great jazz traditionalist in his 75th year (June 25).

The first two signings at The Bassment are Christian McBride, the influential American bassist (June 22), and the guitar duo Nels Cline and Julian Lage (June 28).

Tickets for the newly announced shows go on sale at the Bessborough box office on April 10.

Write-on tips for starting ballpoints

Dear Reena, Over the years I have been given many ballpoint pens and refills.

The see-through ones are full, but I can’t get any of them activated.

Any suggestions on how to get the ink flowing again? — Rose Marie Dear Rose Marie, Begin by shaking the pen to loosen the solvent inside. Heat the tip with a hairdryer, or hold it under Household hot water. Doing this helps soften Solutions the ink. Then scribble vigorously.

Dear Reena, I have beautiful handmade quilts made by my mother. She kept them in a plastic bag with mothballs. I would like to get rid of the odour. I don’t want to wash them, and I can’t afford to have six of them dry cleaned. These are to be given to my daughters and grandsons. Do you have any solutions? — Cecile Dear Cecile, Mothball smell is challenging to remove, and even taking the quilts

Fantastic Household Hint I am so excited; I made my own dishwasher tablets! I combined two cups baking soda with two cups borax, half cup vinegar and half cup salt. Then I added about 10 drops of my favorite essential oil: lavender. As I mixed all the ingredients they started to clump.

So I packed two ice cube trays with the stuff and left them for two days. Whenever I need to do a load of dishes, I put a tablet in the dispenser and add three drops of dish soap to the bottom of the dishwasher and run it as normal. Store tablets in an airtight container. — Jana

to a dry cleaner may not remove the smell. Without using a liquid solution the smell will likely remain.

Your best bet is to soak quilts in 50/50 white vinegar and water for five minutes. Check the colour to make sure that no colour runs. If the colour holds, repeat the vinegar and water soak checking every five minutes to make sure the colour is not bleeding. Hang quilts in the sun to dry. Another option is to smear shaving cream onto quilts and wipe.

But while the quilts will be clean, the smell will likely remain.

required identification, you have more than a year to obtain it. Please don’t tell me that puts too much of an onus on voters — especially when you see reports from emerging democracies of voters walking for miles or days and risking their lives in order to exercise their right to vote. And shouldn’t proving your right to vote be as important as proving your right to buy tobacco or alcohol?

Perhaps even more important?

Maybe the easy solution is a one-time application for a voting card, in the same way we apply for a social insurance number or health card and use the same card for all elections.

The Fair Elections Act may need some tweaking, but it is a start. Our vote is sacrosanct. It deserves respect and protection regardless of inconvenience. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

In keeping with our no-secret-ballot theme, when I asked him who he supported, he said he didn’t know. On the way out I stopped at the nursing station and asked if my father had voted that day. Yes, the attendant proudly stated. They had brought in the mobile voting stations. I loved my dad, but after being declared as incompetent, why was he allowed to vote?

Roast Leg of Lamb

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place lamb leg in a roasting pan on a wire rack to keep it off the bottom. Season the leg with your favorite herbs and spices. I find rosemary sea salt and fresh cracked pepper work great.

Place the lamb in the oven and reduce the heat to 400 degrees F. Roast for approximately 1.5 hours or until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F is reached for medium. Remove the roaster from the oven and cover with foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

If you are applying a glaze turn the oven down to 350 degrees F and make sure to glaze during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. Prairie Meats has a number of glaze recipes available.

Parkinson’s Awareness Month Tulip Talk: April is Parkinson Awareness Month Written by: Jessica Reimer Parkinson Society Saskatchewan’s (PSS) team will be working hard all month to promote awareness about Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting more than 4,000 people in Saskatchewan and over 100,000 Canadians. April marks Parkinson Awareness Month and PSS is presenting two major events to inspire Saskatchewan to learn more about the kinds of supports and resources available to those living with or caring for someone with this debilitating disease.

Parkinson’s disease impacts men and women of all ages and no cure is currently available. Because symptoms and severity are person-specific, all individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s work with a diverse health care team to design treatment and rehabilitative programs tailored to their unique needs. Common characteristics of the disease include shaking or tremors, stiffness and rigidity, slowed movement, impaired breathing, soft speech, sleep disturbances, and depression and other cognitive changes.

PSS’s mandate encompasses four pillars of service: research, advocacy, education, and support. The non-profit organization is a proud member of Parkinson Society Canada and has been assisting individuals and families around the province since 1972.

“We are part of a growing and aging province, so it is important for our

population to be informed about Parkinson’s,” says Low, whose own father received an early onset Parkinson’s diagnosis at the age of 48. “I’m looking forward to sharing with the public what we have in store for this April.”

April 11th World Parkinson’s Day Fresh tulip sales in support of Parkinson’s Dr. James Parkinson, the man credited with discovering Parkinson’s disease, was born on April 11th. This day is now formally recognized as World Parkinson’s Day. On Friday, April 11th, PSS will launch its first ever “Don’t Park Parkinson’s” campaign in both Regina and Saskatoon.

From 11:00AM to 5:00PM, Saskatonians will find staff from the PSS office quite literally parked in front of partnering organization Bill’s House of Flowers’ Broadway storefront (712 Broadway Avenue; www.billshouseofflowers.com).

A parking stall will be cordoned off and staff will be selling bundles of freshcut tulips – the worldwide symbol of Parkinson’s disease – with $8 of each bundle going to PSS. “Don’t Park Parkinson’s is all about getting people talking,” says Low, who explained that the event grew out of a brainstorming session with fellow colleagues in the nonprofit sector. “It’s a unique way to reach out to the communities we serve and make our presence physically known. What better area to accomplish this in than Saskatoon’s colourful and cultural Broadway district.”

In addition to flower sales, staff will be on site to connect with community members and promote the 2nd annual

Parkinson Connections conference, a one-day educational event hosted at Saskatoon’s Sheraton Cavalier hotel on Saturday, April 26th. The conference is an interactive event designed to educate its over 150 attendees about the various facets and implications of the disease.

The day is structured into a series of breakout sessions, formal presentations, and networking opportunities, all catering to the event’s overarching theme: “a better life, a brighter future.” Topics range from functional fitness to the importance of self-care for care partners and will feature local speech pathologists specializing in care for people with Parkinson’s disease.

The keynote address will be provided by Dr. Soania Mathur, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the Dr. Soania Mathur age of 27 while Keynote Speaker of Education Conference pregnant with her first child. The integration of her personal experiences and medical expertise offers a unique perspective of what it means to live with the disease.

“Parkinson Connections is a great opportunity to strengthen our ties to the community,” says Low. “The conference brings together those directly affected

by Parkinson’s, their care partners, and the general public to learn from national experts in the field, share their own personal experiences, and unite in the fight against Parkinson’s.”

Sponsorship opportunities and event tickets are still available. Sponsorship opportunities and event tickets are still available. Please contact PSS office at 306-933-4481; Saskatchewan@ parkinson.ca or visit their website www. parkinsonsaskatchewan.ca

Guidelines for cemetery tributes

A

s warmer temperatures near, the City of Saskatoon reminds visitors to the Woodlawn Cemetery of the guidelines for gravesite memorials that are intended to maintain a pleasant environment and respect the final resting place of loved ones.

Only approved monuments or memorials are considered permanent items and are permitted to remain in the cemetery yearround. All other items placed on a gravesite, flower bed, monument or concrete foundation are considered temporary and need to be removed weekly. Flowers and other items are permitted on the gravesite the day of the burial and will be left for a period of seven calendar days. After this time period, items will be removed by the city.

May 1 to October 15 l Families may establish a flower bed at the gravesite (with the exception of military burials in the Field of Honour and flatmarker areas) upon approval from the cemetery office. Annual flowers are allowed, provided they do not hang over the edge of the flower bed or impede maintenance of adjacent gravesites. l Items not allowed within flower beds include shrubs, perennials, decorative fencing, rocks, stones, concrete and breakable or fragile items.

The cemetery office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. All inquiries should be directed to the cemetery office at 306-975-3308.

A bowtie adds to Maxim’s look

f we keep saying it’s spring, sooner or later we’re bound to be right. Despite the fact snow tends to stick around in Saskatchewan Fashion Editor until at least a month after the spring equinox, the fashion world overlooks our extended winter season.

Spring fashion began arriving in stores weeks ago. And though it’s still a bit chilly here for bare legs and short sleeves, we can enjoy the bright colours and fun spring styles if we use sartorial sense to blend fashion and function. Plus, after a long winter, it’s time to introduce some lighter fabrics and brighter colours into our wardrobes.

Layering a light jacket over a dress, as seen on Kathleen (Cover and pages 12-13) is a great option to maintain some winter warmth while incorporating spring fashion pieces. Her jacket can be taken from work to play as a layering piece for all seasons. If bare legs in April leave you a little chilly, try a pair of tights or leggings with boots under a brightly-coloured spring dress.

Veronika’s snakeskin print top (pictured here) is light enough to wear during the spring, but could be carried through to fall and winter seasons to maximize wear.

Though in the past we’ve primarily seen snakeskin prints in the fall and winter, it’s a huge trend for the spring/summer 2014 season.

Just be sure to pair it with a bright colour — like Veronika’s bright orange pants —to keep your look seasonally appropriate.

Brighten up otherwise conservative nutrals by contrasting elements. Maxim, the 2013 SHE Modelling Man Hunt Model Search winner, shows an orange bowtie (above) to keep his grey button-up shirt and jeans updated for spring. Bright accessories and

details can carry fall and winter pieces through other seasons effortlessly.

Though Tangerine Tango was Pantone’s colour of the year two years ago, orange is still an inspired fashion choice for spring 2014. Project Runway alum Christian Siriano showed orange gowns for Spring/Summer 2014, while Rebecca Minkoff showed orange purses and floral prints in her Spring/Summer 2014 readyto-wear show. For an easy way to incorporate orange into an outfit, use a pop of

colour — such as a handbag or statement necklace — to brighten up neutrals such as khaki green, grey or navy blue. For a bolder take on orange, try a colourblocked look with purple, red or yellow.

Beauty mavens know that an orange lip is the makeup look for spring and summer 2014, with designers like DKNY and Rag & Bone showing it on their runway models. While orange lipstick is wearable for every day (promise!), an orange-tinted lip gloss is more sheer

and an easier-to-wear option. If even an orange lip gloss seems daring, try incorporating orange into your beauty routine with orange nail polish.

While we wait for spring to appear in Saskatchewan, there’s no reason why we can’t get a jumpstart on the season with fashion by injecting some colour into our looks. Even though it’s not quite here, we can rest easy knowing spring is around the corner and spring fashion has already arrived. Orange you glad?

by the health region, not by the City of Saskatoon. The city has certainly attempted to work with the health region with parking at City Hospital. The part about parking around the hospital itself, I will have to get somebody to look into that. But if memory serves me correctly we have or will be putting in parking restrictions around the hospital area.

I will have to follow up on that. I know we have had those discussions, and I am sure that is what the outcome was.

Question: You are desirous of having the CP Rail tracks moved out of downtown Saskatoon. Since you envision Saskatoon as a city of half a million people within about 30 or so years, where do you suggest the CP tracks be relocated, so that in a few years they will not again impact residential areas and traffic?

Mayor Atchison: I don’t believe we want to start talking about where they should be.

If we start giving out details where we think the rail line should be at this time, values of land might increase significantly and affect movement. I don’t think having trains rolling through the middle of the city is the best thing for our community. Sitting on the National Rail Safety Working Group through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, I would say that every community is on the same page. Having trains roll through the middle of their communities is less than desirous for all. The question is this: How do you deal with it? And how much money is everyone prepared to invest?

Please put “mayor” in the subject.)

he City of Saskatoon Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) launched last week its new mass notification system — NotifyNOW. This means Saskatoon residents can receive information via direct text, voice mail and email in emergency situations that could affect them or their property.

An emergency could include any situation in which residents would be required to take some form of precautionary action as a result of a blizzard, tornado warning, plane crash, hazardous goods spill, etc.

A past example of when NotifyNOW could have been helpful is the 2007 blizzard which ground the city to a halt, stranding motorists in their vehicles for several hours.

To create its contact database, the EMO purchased the phone numbers listed in the 2013-2014 Saskatoon SaskTel phone book.

This database will be used only in emergency situations. Residents who do not have a phone number listed in this phone book or who wish to customize how they receive messages, can sign up on the EMO’s website.

Throughout the month of April, the EMO will run a promotional campaign to encourage residents to log in to NotifyNOW, check to see if they are already entered into the system, customize their options or sign up if need be. In May, the EMO will run a city-wide test during Emergency Preparedness week. More details regarding the system test will be available soon.

For more information on NotifyNOW — and to sign up to receive messages on your home phone, mobile phone, or by email — visit saskatoon.ca and click on “N” for NotifyNOW.

his handsome three-bedroom home features a basement entry, making it ideal for those running a home-based business or someone seeking a mortgagehelper or in-law suite. Ceilings on the ground floor, as well as on the second floor, are nine feet high.

The entry is covered, always a boon in inclement weather, and leads to a spacious foyer with a handy coat closet on the right, adjacent to a large den that could serve as either an office or a bedroom. Ahead is the stairway to the main living area.

On the second floor, the great room’s partly mullioned windows look over the front garden and will let in plenty of natural light. Nearby is the dining area, with an optional built-out buffet, as well as sliding doors that lead to a covered sundeck, perfect for year-round grilling.

In the spacious kitchen, open to both the dining and great rooms, generous countertops provide lots of working space for the cook. Natural light will flood in through the window over the double sink.

Next to the kitchen is a laundry room and a walk-in pantry, as well as a coat closet and access to the back garden.

The master bedroom boasts a large window with an extra-deep sill that overlooks the front garden and includes its own three-piece bathroom and a walk-in closet. A linen closet is located near the doorway.

The second and third bedrooms overlook the back garden and share a three-piece bathroom.

He saw the number of members jump from 300 to 1,200 after the lodge was renovated. That was in the early 1970s when the club was housed in a building on Herman Avenue. It had a river view.

Back then there were dances every Friday and Saturday.

“We had a live band there. We had a nice facility. If you weren’t there by 9:30 at night you didn’t get in,” Hollier said.

Hollier was a member of another organization in the city when he made the switch to the Elks club. He was at a banquet at the lodge, talked to some people involved in the club and made the move.

“I was so impressed by what the Elks were doing, and we were able to have our own building. I thought this is a pretty good outfit

so I joined. I liked the regalia and the ritual work we were doing. I was mainly impressed with what they were doing for kids. I got going and never stopped.”

The lodge, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in Saskatoon on April 12, now has 70 members.

“Isn’t that something? Unfortunately over the years we had some people come in and make some changes to the rules. Some didn’t like it, and they left us and joined the Legion. And that was kind of the downfall.”

That was part of it.

“Nobody’s interested; lifestyles are so different now. When we joined we didn’t have the Internet and cellphones. When a person comes home from work now, they sit down and have their supper and turn on the news. … It is pretty hard to get your butt out of a chair and go to a meeting that you really aren’t too interested in being involved in anyway.”

Hollier said the membership is

aging. The range is between late 70s and early 90s. They can’t do the volunteer work they once did.

Even though the number of Elk members has declined, the mission has remained the same: helping children in need.

Hollier saw firsthand the work being done across Canada. He was the Grand Exalted Ruler in 1989-90.

“I enjoyed it very much,” he said. “It was a wonderful year going through the lodges all across Canada and seeing what each province was doing to help kids in need. Every one of our provinces had something set up to handle one thing or the other.”

He wouldn’t have been able to spend the time away had it not been for his colleagues at the Saskatoon Fire Department. He had to trade shifts to get the time off.

“I was able to make 96 switches. I had to make all those up either before I went on my year as a grand (leader) or after I came back. There wasn’t one of

them that turned me down when I asked them. It worked really well, and the department never complained at all.”

He is particularly proud of the Saskatchewan Pediatric Audio Rehabilitation Centre at Royal University Hospital. It is a program for early detection, assessment, and (re)habilitation for hearing-impaired children in the province.

Hollier said the national Elks body distributes between $10 million and $12 million per year. Seldom is a request declined that has cleared at the local level. Much of the money is used to pay the cost for children and their parents to travel for treatment.

Hollier said he is a bit dumbfounded by some of the families that have benefited from the program.

“What bothers me a little bit is when I go out and give the cheque to the person we are helping, they (the husband and the wife) are sitting there perfectly healthy. I

SW10148.D07 Sheri

have asked them time and again: Would you please consider joining us so you can help raise money for some other kid? We never hear from them. And we give them thousands of bucks.”

The Elks club needs members, he stressed. A core group of about 12 members is doing the heavy lifting.

“We desperately need members,” he said.

The 100th anniversary celebration will be held at the lodge (508 12th Street East) on April 12. Tickets are $25 each and available by calling 306-2445547 – please leave a message if no one answers. Cocktails are at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m.

over recent years by the enormously successful package-holiday trade.

The area’s appeal pre-dated the revolution for the well-heeled. In the 1920s wealthy American industrialist Irenee du Pont built a holiday home here and called it Xanadu. The name might have been a touch pretentious, but there was no arguing with the timing of his purchase. He picked up the bulk of his real estate for his winter playground for just a few dollars an acre.

Sadly for the du Pont family, the mansion was nationalized by Castro after the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Today it serves as the clubhouse at Varadero Golf Club. It remains one of the most luxurious properties on the peninsula, with six guest rooms and a lovely ocean-facing bar.

With a recorded history that predates the arrival of Columbus in 1492 and stretches through the Castro revolution, Cuba’s cultural appeal extends beyond sea, sand and sunshine. For more than 40 years Canadian tourists have been coming here looking for beach holidays. Now they are more adventurous and want to explore the country and its past.

KEN NOSKYE

who were hired to hang around the fort were not aboriginal. They were actors, mostly Hispanic. But that image is etched in the minds of many people. It is a stereotype. But day by day that is changing.

Evidence is shown all over Saskatoon. You could start by looking at the city’s skyline, and you will see First Nations Bank of Canada. Of course one also has to consider there are those who are not able to work or seek a higher education. But they are a minority.

There’s this old story of an Indian guy and a white man walking along a beach. They were collecting crabs. The white dude noticed the Indian’s crabs stayed in the buckets.

“How is it that my crabs keep escaping and yours just stay inside the bucket?” the white man asked.

The Indian brother quickly responded: “Oh, these are Indian crabs. Every time one tries to go over the top the others pull him down.”

It boils down to choices. You can hang around the fort collecting crabs.

Or stop wasting your life.

I’m just saying.

GlassArt14 Local artists display work at show

T

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

he Saskatoon Glassworkers’ Guild is presenting GlassArt 14 on April 11, 12 and 13 at Galleria Store in Innovation Place on the University of Saskatchewan campus.

The show is designed to give the public an opportunity to view the work of local glassworking artists and discuss various processes used. Artists will be demonstrating their craft during the exhibition.

Ken Friesen is one of those artists, though the full-time project manager at Vecima Industries is still getting used to calling himself that.

“The artistic side is somewhat new to me,” said Friesen from his day-time office.

“I spent a greater part of my life thinking I was too scientific, too immersed in engineering to really understand art. It’s a notion I’ve been cultivating now for about the last five years.

“I do have some skills, natural talent, but probably the biggest issue I’ve found is getting my head around that — to think I’m capable, instead of thinking I cannot.”

Friesen is more than capable, creating imaginative glass table-top sculptures and marbles in his spare time.

“I work with a torch; kind of like a welding torch,” he said. “I’ve been working at it on and off for about 20 or so years now. Initially I wanted to bend tubing for a sculptural idea I had at the time. A fellow I spoke to at the U of S got me interested with what was possible, what could be done. It started with a bit of a whim I guess.”

Friesen uses clear glass rods and coloured glass rods as his material, which

he then shapes using the torch’s flame. He said with focus and practice anyone can do it.

“Glass sculpting is a little more unnerving in that you have to be creative through the whole process,” said Friesen. “It feels a lot more out of control throughout the creation. You start your way from the bottom and build from the ground up.

“By the time I sit down and do it, I have a pretty clear picture of what I’m trying to accomplish. That’s not to say what I end up with is what I envision. There is an uncontrolled aspect that it doesn’t turn out the way you wanted, but it’s still pretty good.”

Friesen also enjoys creating a vintage playground art — glass marbles.

“The marbles are interesting in that there are lots of different things you can do with them,” he said. “It’s also a really small space and means you have to put a lot of effort into a small thing. It’s a lot of unique, beautiful detail in a small amount of glass.

“This is the second glass art show that I’ve been involved in,” said Friesen, who says when he retires he’ll commit himself fulltime to his hobby. “I find it kind of unnerving; there are a lot of pretty fantastic artists in the Saskatoon Glassworkers Guild.”

Sesame seeds are mineral powerhouses. They are a good source of manganese, copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and zinc. They contain sesamin and sesamolin —lignans that have been shown to lower cholesterol and prevent high blood pressure. Sesamin may also protect the liver. Just ¼ cup of sesame seeds (or tahini) supplies 74 per cent of recommended daily amount (RDA) for copper, 31 per cent of RDA for magnesium and 35 per cent of RDA for calcium. “Open sesame,” the famous phrase from the Arabian Nights, describes the sesame seed pod that bursts open when mature.
