The Yausie brothers have been prominent in Saskatoon football. James and his twin, Jeff, went into Nutana Collegiate together, playing one year in the junior program and three years with the senior team. They both went to the University of Saskatchewan, where they played for four years — 1984 through 1987. Jeff had a tryout with the Calgary Stampeders and played for the Ottawa Rough Riders. When he came back to Saskatoon, he used his one remaining year of junior eligibility to play for the Saskatoon Hilltops. During that 1988 season, he played with a younger brother, Paul, who was finishing a four-year career with the Hilltops. Shortly afterwards, Matt, another brother, emerged into Hilltop colours, playing from 2001 through 2005. He was voted All-Canadian three times. Jeff stuck close to football, going to

work with Football Saskatchewan and eventually becoming its executive director. He also joined the coaching staff of the Hilltops in 2002 and is still there. Paul works for ABC. After playing college football at both Saskatoon and Regina, Matt has settled in Regina, where he is a yoga and fitness trainer. He may soon be returning to Saskatoon. James says there were influences along the way. “Our mother, Fern, supported us at every game. I don’t know if any other mother has seen as many football games in which her sons were playing,” said James. He also remembers how John Butler “worked so hard to get 24 players on the field and be competitive when Nutana was in the last years of its football program.” (Continued on page 3)

very now and again, I am stuck for a column idea. At those times, I turn for help to the Missed Connections feature on Kijiji. It is a category where Saskatoon people can search out those with whom they had a chance meeting. They tend to be at grocery stores and fast-food places or while out driving or walking.

Summer Players

Mark 50th anniversary with classic operetta “Gilbert and Sullivan’s repertoire now is all public domain. As such, you can take liberties with the script. We’ve done just exactly that,” said England. While HMS Pinafore is new for Saskatoon Summer Players, presenting a musical is the organization’s raison d’être. The first Saskatoon Summer Players show was held in 1964, when a group of people working out of Knox United Church mounted a production of Oklahoma. Since then, the non-profit organization has presented one main-stage musical each year in late June and early July. The organization relies on the talents of amateur on-stage performers and volunteers to present its productions. England has been actively involved with Saskatoon Summer Players since retiring from teaching at Holy Cross High School in 1999. “During the tenure of my teaching I had done 18 musicals, which included Playwright Ian Nelson has added local flair to the Saskatoon Summer Players’ The Pirates of Penzance once and HMS production of HMS Pinafore (Photo Supplied) Pinafore twice. So this is actually my third go-around with HMS Pinafore,” he said. Shannon Boklaschuk only done one Gilbert and Sullivan show “From that point of view I was really Saskatoon Express before — The Pirates of Penzance — so anxious, when they asked me to be the he Saskatoon Summer Players the time was right to introduce local producer, to do it, because I had done the musical theatre organization will audiences to the duo’s work again, said show a couple times.” celebrate its 50th anniversary with England.

Meghan McDonald and Bobby Williston will direct the show, while Michael Harris will serve as the musical director and Shaun Bzdel will serve as the conductor. England said auditions take place for each Saskatoon Summer Players show, and a lot of talented people will be on stage during HMS Pinafore. “It’s amazing. Every time we do auditions you think it will be all the same people, but it’s not always the same people. In this show, you’re going to find a lot of the cast are all brand-new people to Saskatoon Summer Players,” he said. “The beautiful part about that, too, is that because it’s an operetta, it’s obviously all sung. There’s very little dialogue by comparison to the average musical, and it’s all four-part harmonies, which is part of (Gilbert and Sullivan) offerings. So you needed to have trained singers — people who are classically trained, who read music.” In addition to the talented cast, England is enthusiastic about the costumes designed by Enid Jaques. Jaques and her husband, set designer Doug Jaques, have been involved with Saskatoon Summer Players for many years. HMS Pinafore will mark their final Summer Players production before they move to Parksville, B.C., at the end of July. “For those who know the work of both Enid and Doug, they need to come to this show just to see the magic that they (create) on stage,” said England. HMS Pinafore runs from June 27 to July 5 at the Remai Arts Centre. Showtime is at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from the Persephone Theatre box office by calling 306-384-7727 or by going online to persephonetheatre.org.

and operated a garage at Lorne Avenue and Taylor Street for more than 50 years. “Like people of their day, my dad and my uncle really believed in a strong work ethic and gained the respect of their customers,” said Cora. Her father died five years ago at the age of 88. Her mother, Helen, lives not far away from the Yausies, as does Catherine, who, with her husband, Pat Boot, returned to Saskatoon in 2008 after working and living in Asia for almost 15 years. “My parents and my sister were and are extremely supportive. Our mom is always encouraging us every step of the way,” said Cora. The football bug has bitten each of the children in the home of James and Cora. The boys have played flag and tackle football for more than 10 years. Jay and his cousin, Jack, were recently selected to

play for Team Saskatchewan at the U18 Canada Cup, which comes to Saskatoon July 6-12. Chad is a graduate of the 2013 provincial bantam champion Steelers of the Kinsmen Football League. The two brothers and Jack plan to play at Aden Bowman this fall. Tess, a student at Buena Vista School, plays for two all-girls flag football teams and is also active in track and soccer. James considers himself lucky to have been involved as a minor football coach for nine years and Cora is never far away, often in managerial roles and usually seen with a camera in her hands. “The new facility is going to be awesome,” said James. “It is there for all children, not just the elite athletes, and it is going to be accessible to children in all sports.”

Block Therapy

Therapist says it changed her life Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express here were two sides to Deanna Hansen’s life during her 20s. There was the hard-working athletic therapist by day. And there was the alcoholic by night. “There were a number of years in my 20s when I don’t know how I managed to get certified as an athletic therapist,” she said. “I managed to get through school and get my degrees and all the things I had to do. I also had a very successful practice in my business. My personal life was not good; by the time I was 30, I was already separated from my second husband. “I was about 50 pounds overweight. I had anxiety, depression and chronic pain throughout my body, but I was a hard worker. I had a good practice, but my personal life was totally in upheaval.” Hansen decided to stop drinking. “I made the decision at age 30 to quit Deanna Hansen will be teaching Block Therapy in Saskatoon on July 19 and 20 (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) drinking, which was fantastic.

Art of Kenderdine’s daughter on display at local gallery

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

ugustus “Gus” Kenderdine is a name that is inextricably linked to the local and provincial art scene. Many people know that he was a prominent landscape and portrait painter, a University of Saskatchewan lecturer and a driving force behind the creation of the art camp at Emma Lake. What many people may not know is that his daughter, May Kenderdine Beamish, was an artist in her own right. Now members of the public have the opportunity to learn more about Beamish’s inspiration and view the first showing of some of her works, which are on display at Hues Art Supply. Since Beamish’s death in 1998, her sketches and paintings have been in the possession of a relative, Tanya (Kenderdine) Wur. Beamish was Wur’s great-aunt, and Wur collaborated with the Hues Gallery to put together the Beamish exhibit. Wur said her great-aunt was a great artist, but she didn’t promote her own work or show it publicly. “Her whole life was dedicated to the education and the promotion of everyone else’s learning. If you talked to her, that’s what it was about — it was just getting everyone else doing things,” said Wur. “I don’t think she really focused on herself; she focused on the world around her. That’s the way she was,” Wur added. A teacher by profession, Beamish lived in the Marshall area and was involved with the Lashburn high school. Wur remembers her great-aunt as someone who was passionate about education and who was involved in her community. SS50588.F23 James art and she really “She really promoted

promoted learning of any kind, especially with the university,” said Wur. “She was involved with putting the Agriculture Building together here in Saskatoon.” Beamish donated about $1 million to the Agriculture Building project, funding the Beamish Conservatory and the Kenderdine Art Gallery. “She was really into caring for education and creativity and the minds of young people, and she was just really involved. I think that would be who she is,” Wur said. Beamish was one of Gus Kenderdine’s four children, and she learned about art from her father, who was born in 1870 in England and trained in Paris. Gus Kenderdine’s influence can be seen in Beamish’s work, which depicts natural settings in Saskatchewan. Wur was a child when she got her first glimpse of Beamish’s work. At the age of 12, Wur was invited to visit Beamish’s home. Beamish took Wur up to her attic and showed Wur the art she had created. “She showed me the stuff that she had been working on and the stuff that she had. I think she really promoted her father and she was really into the schools and everyone around her, but she really didn’t put a lot of emphasis on herself,” Wur said. “So when I saw this work, it was just amazing.” Years later, after Beamish died, Wur received a surprising gift: The Beamish family gave her about 40 pieces of Beamish’s

Tanya (Kenderdine) Wur poses for a photo with some of the art created by her great-aunt, May Kenderdine Beamish (Photo by Shannon Boklaschuk) finished and unfinished work. Wur was shocked and thrilled. “It was just amazing. I just couldn’t believe it.” While Wur thought that perhaps the Beamish family would give her a piece, she didn’t expect to receive the entire collection. “They said, ‘We know you do art and you’re interested, and we think that this is a good move.’ They just gave them all to me.” About 20 of the pieces are on display at Hues Art Supply. The artwork depicts scenes from Emma Lake and from around Marshall and Lashburn, said Wur. “As kids when we were there, she had us do some drawing and some painting

and this and that. She even had us knock stones together and make little powder and do stuff. I think she just used whatever was natural.” People who have viewed Beamish’s work at Hues Art Supply are impressed and want to purchase it. However, it’s not for sale, said Wur. “She was a really good artist, and I remember saying to my dad, ‘You know, I don’t think people realize.’ And my dad didn’t even know, and she was his aunt,” Wur said. The Beamish exhibit will be on display at Hues Art Supply, located at 1818 Lorne Ave., until June 30.

Royal University Hospital Foundation The Impact of 30 Years and a Vision for the Future Since 1983, Royal University Hospital Foundation has raised and invested more than $95 million of donor funds into patient care, education and research for healthcare advancements at Royal University Hospital. Every dollar reflects the generous spirit of our donors, who understand the vital impact we make together on the health of everyone in our community.

Report of the Volunteer Chair and CEO RUH Foundation is grateful to every donor for sharing in the vision and support of a first-class teaching hospital equipped with state-of-the-art technology and built-in supports for clinical and applied research. These are essential for attracting and retaining physicians who excel in their fields, enabling us to be ready for any emergency whether day-to-day, today or tomorrow. Our donors need to feel confident that their donations are working as intended. With this in mind, we applied to Imagine Canada’s new Standards Program designed to strengthen public confidence in the charitable and not-for-profit sectors. As a result, RUH Foundation was awarded the highest level of accreditation.

On June 20, 2013, the doors officially opened for Saskatchewan’s first PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography) in the PotashCorp Centre of Molecular Imaging at Royal University Hospital. In the past year, more than 1000 patients did not have to leave the province for earlier diagnosis of cancer, coronary disease and neurology disorders thanks to the resounding success of RUH Foundation’s Picture This! Campaign in support of the PET/CT.

The Campaign for Royal University Hospital supported the purchase of the latest in neuromodulation equipment and technology that enables surgeons to operate on patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders at RUH.

In 2013–2014 the Foundation raised $5.596 million, enabling us to support the development of the PotashCorp PET/CT Centre as well as patient units and programs, purchase essential equipment, fund critical education for physicians and enable life-altering medical research at RUH. These dollars reflect donors’ strong support for our purpose of “Creating excellence in and impacting health care by raising funds to anticipate and respond to needs for research, education and patient care.” As our 30th year draws to a close, the Board and staff deeply thank our donors, volunteers, partners, physicians, nurses and other staff who tirelessly support the Foundation. Equally, the Foundation appreciates the passion and commitment to healthcare philanthropy of our volunteer Board of Directors, committee members, event volunteers and staff. Altogether, we form an amazing team making an amazing difference! The charts to the left represent a summarized statement of annual revenues and expenses for RUH Foundation as of March 31, 2014.

Brussels is not only a great place to begin your tour; it also makes an excellent base to explore the country. With its cosmopolitan feel, historical architecture and hundreds of unique cafes, some of which serve a staggering variety of Belgian beers, the city is a vacation destination in its own right. While the tram dinner, at 89 Euros per person, is not the cheapest dining option in town, the price includes an aperitif with three appetizers and a three-course menu (starter, main course and dessert) created CP90106.F23 Chenise

Famous for its wide range of restaurants and cafes, Brussels has also developed a successful dining option aboard a specially outfitted city tram car (Photos by Peter Wilson) by star chefs. Accompanying the meal are champagne and white and red wine, along with flat and sparkling water.

Ambassadors needed for city dog parks

f you have a passion for dogs and are active in your community (or want to be), the City of Saskatoon is looking for dog park ambassadors. A dog park ambassador works closely with the city’s animal services coordinator in the education, promotion and continuous improvement of dog parks. In which areas of Saskatoon are dog park ambassadors needed? Currently, Saskatoon has six operational dog parks and two more under construction set to open this summer. Each park would benefit from having an ambassador. There

are currently groups formed for Caswell Hill and Hyde Park dog parks. The City is looking for representatives for the following parks: Avalon — south end of Broadway Avenue; Briarwood — south of Wilson’s Greenhouse on McOrmond Drive; Hampton Village — north on Range Road 3060, near the airport; Silverwood — access off Kinnear Avenue or the east end of Adilman Drive; Southwest — off Valley Road by the landfill;

Sutherland Beach — west of Central Avenue, north of Attridge Drive. What would I need to do? Get organized: Begin with creating a group in your community of like-minded people who are passionate about their dogs, being a responsible pet owner and providing services for pets. Many groups operate social-media sites to keep others informed about the happenings in their dog parks, but the sky is the limit on how your group functions. Have a go-to person: Designate one or two representatives who will be the

ambassador(s) for your group and the primary contact between the group and the City. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and to share ideas with the City and other user groups. Visit www.saskatoon.ca/go/dogparks for more information. Take the next steps: Have your designated ambassador contact animal services at animal.services@saskatoon.ca to ensure your group is represented at the next meeting. For more information on the program or dog parks in general, visit www.saskatoon. ca/go/dogparks.

listening to, but it’s all starting to sound the same. Or am I just getting older? One of my favourite Saskatoon summer activities is to walk around and listen to buskers, whether it is downtown or on Broadway Avenue. Heck, I’ll even stop and listen to that young man or woman strumming and singing away in front of a store. Most of the time, I’ll throw in a buck or two into their collection. I know for many buskers the only way they can eat is to earn a few dollars from busking. Only on a very rare occasion do I give change to someone who is panhandling. I realize they, too, have situations, but I would rather give what little I can spare to someone entertaining the people. People might think it’s easy being on the street and performing. The hassles and smart-ass comments from passersby sometimes get under one’s skin. It soon slips away. Most people are nice and will stop to listen. The farmers’ market is also a good place to listen to buskers. There is nothing like a Saturday morning at the market with great outdoor entertainment. One day you might see me with my hand drum. Please give generously. KNOSKYE2012@live.com

The result is quite amazing. Other artists include Matt Anderson, Bruce Cockburn and Amos Lee. The Edmonton Folk Festival will take place from Aug. 7-10. The good news is that the list of performers is fabulous, including Blind Boys of Alabama, Blue Rodeo and Tony Joe White. The bad news is that the festival is sold out, except for tickets for seniors. If you are of that vintage, this festival is for you. My summer will be winding down with one of my favourites, the Regina Folk Festival, taking place from Aug. 8-10. Located in the downtown area, the festival is very accessible. The Hotel Saskatchewan offers urban camping at its finest. This year I am looking forward to seeing Serena Ryder, Mo Kenny and the Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer. Music festivals are a great way to make the most of your summer and to add travel to your holiday plans. They are intimate and friendly, and are an easy way to share music with your family and friends or enjoy it all on your own.

Page 14 - SASKATOONEXPRESS - June 23-29, 2014 After running Chopsticks for exactly six years, the family sold it in November 2013. That opened the door for the family to run another business, and Odd Couple Restaurant was born. Yuen’s parents work at the restaurant and his father, Sam, is the co-owner. The father-son partnership sparked the name Odd Couple, since they can be at odds with one another, Yuen said. “We are from a different era. We do things differently. I’m sales; he’s operation. There’s many conflicts, but I’m the only child so he’s got no choice,” Yuen said with a laugh. “So that’s how we came up with the name.” Although he has been involved in the restaurant industry for years, Yuen has also pursued other goals. For example, he studied economics and civil engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, graduating in 2005. While in university, Yuen became friends with Curtis Olson, who is now the owner of Shift Development Inc., which is behind the well-known Two Twenty collaborative workspace on 20th Street West. Olson is Yuen’s landlord, and Odd Couple is part of the second phase of the Two Twenty Odd Couple Restaurant owner Andy Yuen enjoys a glass of wine at his project. new business on 20th Street West (Photo by Shannon Boklaschuk) Yuen said the idea for Odd Couple Restaurant was sparked when he and Olson were talking about opening a place where they could enjoy a pint. “He’s like, ‘We’ve got Collective Coffee.’ Our friend Jackson runs it. He’s like, ‘We need somewhere to drink a pint.’ That’s how this conversation started it,” said Yuen. Shannon Boklaschuk here.

It’s difficult to find an honest man online Hello Lianne, I’ve recently moved to the city. My appearance has changed with weight gain from steroids and cancer treatment. I had a double mastectomy, and I lost my long, beautiful hair. I find myself alone while friends are with their partners. I am not into the bar and want a quality man. I am not feeling good about myself. I am 43 and feel Relationships like 143. — Lisa Dear Lisa, You are alive! Hair grows back. Your physical and mental health ought to be your main concern. You need to feel good about yourself before starting your search for someone. You cannot allow another human being to have the control over how you feel about yourself. Take the next few months to do things for you. If your doctor OKs it, start exercising. Join groups that interest you. Volunteer for different events in the city. I would suggest you book an appointment with me in the fall and we can explore the possibilities of working together. Dear Lianne I’m so jaded. I have been single for three years since I left my partner of six years. I met him online on a dating site. He was unfaithful at least six times, and apparently never left online dating. He worked nights and was entertained by these women while on his work computer. I’ve lost faith in men because of online dating. Is anyone loyal anymore? How do I get past this so I don’t miss out on a future mate? Are they all like that? — Allison Dear Allison, Some people crave attention because they have diminished self-esteem. The Internet is a great place for people to temporarily feel wanted. It is damaging people terribly. Technology is interfering with basic manners. Texting is taking over communication. People are tending to treat prospective partners as just another profile, where they are disposable and easily replaced. I would strongly suggest you steer clear of that entire scene. Using a matchmaker is completely different, as the clients have all been interviewed in person. My clients are criminal-record checked. They are serious and are beyond the games you will find online. They want one special love. When you work with a good matchmaker, you will be introduced to people who are right for you in the long term. I would strongly suggest you change your approach in order to get different results. There are plenty of amazing men out there. I would be happy to see you in Saskatoon. (Lianne will be in Saskatoon interviewing perspective clients June 24-27 and July 22-25. Call 1-204-8881529 to book your appointment. Questions for this column can be submitted to camelotintroductions@ mymts.net.)
