Progressive Discover-e

Online school gives students an alternative Ann Cook is the principal of Progressive Discover-e, a school funded and accredited by the provincial government (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express igh school wasn’t working for Michaela Derow.

She was bored and bullied and looking for another way to complete Grades 11 and 12. The 17-year-old decided to enrol in a provincial online school called Progressive Discover-e. The school has been in existence for eight years, and accredited and funded by the Saskatchewan government for the past two.

Through the online school, Derow says she can accomplish what she did from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at a traditional school in fewer

than two hours a day. She can even sleep in.

She said she didn’t find classrooms a productive place to learn at a traditional high school and ran out of work to do during the last month of each semester.

“Because the last month is just catch up and review, I had to come every day for attendance. Because kids would be rushing to finish last-minute projects or studying – these were classes I was in the high 90s in – so I didn’t really need to spend a month studying or doing work. So it became long and very depressing. Here I am going to school for six hours to do nothing for a month before the final. I’m not doing any

work. There’s nothing for me to do; no one is talking to me. I was not a social kid.”

The bullying was the clincher.

“Because I was bullied and there was no other school that had classes I wanted to do, I found it hard to leave. I had known students all over the city from elementary school because I moved quite a lot. I didn’t get along with any of them, so I didn’t really want to go to another school and continue this bullying cycle.

“I just wanted to get out of a system of where I had to sit in a class where I became the teacher’s pet of some sort and then kids would bug me about it forever. It

got to a level of extreme bullying.”

Ann Cook is the principal of Progressive Discover-e.

“I taught in the Saskatoon public system and enjoyed that quite a bit, but I felt there was room for another model, for an alternative in the province.”

During the 2013-2014 school year, there were 89 students registered full-time and another 60 part-time students. The school offers classes from kindergarten to Grade 12. Cook expects to have 100 full-time students for the 2014-2015 school year and 60 part-time students.

I’m starting to drive myself crazy

I

used to consider myself a good driver. In many ways that isn’t the case anymore.

In a 30-minute period one day last week, I was close to having three accidents. Two involved pedestrians. The other could have been serious for the other driver, as well as Sandy and me.

Before I take the bullet for my pedestrian problems, let me say this: I have never liked the sight lines in my vehicle. It is difficult to make good shoulder checks. And along the sides of the windshield Editor there is a blind spot on the left side. This is a spot where you don’t see a pedestrian if he or she is past your driver’s side window and not quite visible through your windshield.

But enough excuses. It’s on me.

Inattentive driving gives pedestrians good reason to stop and shake their four litres of milk or point their middle fingers at me.

The first time I noticed this problem was in Kamloops two years ago. My son, Jay, and I were pulling out of a hotel parking lot. I looked right, left and right again or maybe it was left, right, left. Or maybe I didn’t look at all. I started inching the car onto the street. “Stop,” Jay yelled. To my left were two pedestrians.

I hadn’t seen them and couldn’t until I leaned forward in the driver’s seat.

That same scenario played out again last week. I was creeping along in a parking lot when Sandy said to stop. I wondered why. She could see a person that had moved into the spot where I had lost sight of him. I have had the car for eight years and don’t recall incidents like this happening previously. It must be me.

The second one happened in a different parking lot. I was backing out of my spot. I looked left and looked right etc.

CAM HUTCHINSON

Here’s hoping there are more days fit for jet skiing on the river before fall arrives (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)

I looked over my shoulder and through my mirrors to see how far back the next row of vehicles was. As I was backing out and swinging to the right, I saw two pedestrians with unhappy faces. My fault again. You can’t be scaring people or hitting them.

The third one could have been nasty.

Sandy and I were driving south on Circle Drive North as compared to south on Circle Drive South. As we crossed the College Drive overpass I checked to see how many vehicles would potentially be merging from College. I didn’t think any would be a factor. Seconds later, I signalled to take the 14th Street exit. I started pulling to the right.

Suddenly, I could feel something, and stopped the lane change. A truck raced past us on the right, cut in front of us to get onto Circle Drive North going south. He was doing at least 120 kph, we figured. But where was he when I looked?

Sandy wondered out loud if I was trying to kill her. It seemed like it.

As a young driver, I was pretty good if you subtract the times I crashed my mother’s car. Two were hitting poles. I backed into one in a parking lot. Do you see a theme? Another time I was turning into the A&W on Eighth Street, slid on

some ice and hit a pole. Thank goodness the restaurant was closed and I was picking up my future sister-in-law after her late-night shift. It wasn’t cool to hit a post at A&W, where big guys flexed their muscle cars.

I’ve only had two speeding tickets.

One was the day I got my 1967 MGB back after having the engine rebuilt. The other was on a trip back from Arizona when the boys were really young. An RCMP officer pulled us over west of Swift Current.

“Going a little fast,” he said, glancing into the mini-van.

“In a hurry to get home,” I replied.

“What’s the hurry?” he asked.

“You’d want to get home, too, if you had spent two weeks and 4,000 miles with these three,” I said with a laugh.

He reduced my speed to a lower price point, and gave me some advice.

“There is radar outside of Kyle. Slow down.”

Is there a moral to this story?

Maybe it is this: Walk defensively when I am driving, and please remove poles from parking lots. Maybe take a refresher course. Or maybe, Sandy, we need a vehicle with warning systems and vast expanses of windows along the sides. Hint.

Back from Brazil A

Religious sisters share memories from mission

From left to right: Sr. Louise Hinz, Sr. Claire Novecosky, Sr. Jeannine Rondot, Fr. Emile April, Sr. Marie-Noelle Rondot (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)

fter serving the Saskatoon mission within the archdiocese of Maceio, Brazil, for extended periods of time, four Saskatchewan religious sisters — two from the Order of Ursuline Sisters and two from the Sisters of Mission Service — have come back to what was once their home People territory.

The four were in Brazil long enough to settle well into the everyday lifestyles of people who were hospitable, grateful and joyful despite some of the difficulties they faced.

Sister Claire Novecosky of the Ursuline Order remembered the day in January 1973 when she stepped off the plane in Belem.

“It was like I was stepping into a sauna.

The warm, moist air engulfed me. It was not only the warm air, but the warmth of welcome from our Brazilian brothers and sisters. That warmth sustained me throughout these years. Community, family and friends were miles and miles away, but people in Brazil told me many times, ‘We are your family.’ And family they were, with their welcoming and open hearts.”

Sister Jeannine Rondot of the Mission Service wondered what the future would hold for her in Brazil when she arrived in January 1993. She soon had her answer.

“The sharing of life experience in moments of joy and sorrow, of struggle and satisfaction, of hope and disappointment was the fabric of an enrichment and growth for us all. Over the years we have been

deeply touched by the beautiful simplicity and firm hope in God that these people showed in difficult situations of life as they so readily entrusted their cares and concerns to the goodness of God.” Sister Louise Hinz, also of the Ursuline Order, went to Brazil in 1987.

“Learning the Portuguese language was the first challenge,” she said.

“There weren’t any problems in adapting to the food or the culture. We soon recognized the corruption which had grown over 400 years. The politicians got rich. There was never a fair distribution of the wealth, not even a system for the common good.”

Sister Marie-Noelle Rondot, also of Mission Service, laughed when talking about her arrival in January 1995. “The first thing I had to learn was how to say Happy New Year in Portuguese. The quality of life improved since I first went to Brazil. But, after 19 years, the poor of past days are still the poor of today.”

Father Emile April, pastor at St. Philip Neri Church, recently brought the four sisters together for a 90-minute reflection on life in Brazil. It is a reflection in which he shared, having served in Brazil for 26 years before returning to Saskatoon in 2001.

Not all of the memories were happy ones because of political corruption, the presence of drug gangs and the violence that came with the sale of drugs.

In Father April’s assessment of the Brazilian demographics, there were three distinct divisions.

“There were 25 per cent of the people in an upper class. They were the ones who could afford to send their children to the private schools and university. A city coun-

cillor would buy votes and they made 10 times the wage of a teacher. The politicians used their positions to help themselves and serve themselves.

“About 50 per cent were in the middle class, struggling to maintain their jobs and own their homes. The other 25 per cent were the unemployed. It was always a struggle to keep food on the table and often their children would go to school hungry.”

Father April said minimum salaries went up from $65 to $300 a month. More cars were on the road and, when law enforcement clamped down on the drug dealers, it only chased the drug dealers into the northeast sector of Brazil.

For the Rondot sisters, danger and violence was as close as next door.

Sister Marie-Noelle told the story of violence on June 12, just about 10 minutes before 1 a.m., when “we woke up to hear shots being fired next door. We heard a little baby crying. When we got there, we looked at a huge pool of blood and it looked like the woman had been trying to reach her youngest, who was three months old. She was murdered, leaving behind four children from the ages of 11 to three months. The two oldest went to live with an uncle; the two youngest were sent to different sets of grandparents. The family was broken up.”

Sister Jeannine said: “We knew there was suspicious activity. We talked to the woman, warning her that nothing good would come from dealing with drugs. You can only say so much.”

Sister Marie-Noelle added that “just about a week before we left, a husband and wife were shot right in front of their children.”

Saskatoon Bishop Donald Bolen decided to visit Brazil in late February and he can

attest to the bravery of Sister Marie-Noelle and some of her parish friends.

In a story in the Saskatoon Diocese newsletter, Bishop Bolen wrote that “the single memory most deeply pressed into my mind was that of accompanying Sr. MarieNoelle and two local parishioners to visit a slum area above Sao Jose da Laje. The area had increasingly come under the thumb of drug lords and gangs. Sr. Marie-Noelle and the women went without fear from home to home visiting people, giving hugs and asking how their families were doing, bestowing dignity by their affectionate presence.

It was an extraordinary experience to see these good women bear Christ and bring his presence to others.”

The sisters returned to Saskatoon with many good memories.

“We will all miss the people. They’d be sitting on the sidewalks, trying to find some shade, and in a city of about 20,000, it was very easy to meet people,” said Sister Marie-Noelle. “And we’ll miss the sun.”

Sister Claire added: “There was a bakery just two minutes away from where we lived.

I never came back in less than 15 minutes.

People wanted to stand and talk to you.”

Sister Louise said: “It is a beautiful country, right beside the ocean, and there were always coconut and fruit trees.”

Sister Jeannine said: “It was a picture of simplicity at its best.”

The decision to bring the sisters back to Saskatchewan was likely based on their long terms of service. But, if asked, “We’d do it all over again,” said Sister MarieNoelle.

The Saskatoon dioceses will be celebrating 50 years of service to Brazil on Oct. 19 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family, with mass at 1 p.m. and a program to follow.

Her son ruined good relationship

LIANNE TREGOBOV

Relationships

Dear Lianne, I’ve dated this amazing woman for three years. We broke up because nothing I ever do for her kid is good enough.

He is 12, has no friends and has his mom wrapped around his little finger.

I have tried over and over, and I just can’t win. She criticizes me constantly when it comes to him. I have raised kids and have some valuable hints she never wants to hear. Is it possible to have a normal relationship with her? I would have married her in a minute if it weren’t for the kid. — Tony

Dear Tony, There is no getting between a mama bear and her cub. Her first obligation is to her son. She needs to launch him into society as a young adult, ensuring she has done her best. There are a few choices. You can date her for potentially the next six to 10 years and see if things will work out once he is on his own. You can attend counselling with the hope you will all understand one another. Or you can start to look for someone else.

Dear Lianne, What do you do for your job? — Curious Dear Curious, I am a matchmaker and owner of Camelot Introductions.

I work with incredible people who are looking for long-term relationships. I am gifted with very strong intuitive abilities which have enabled me to match people for nearly 20 years. I work primarily in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. I do have clients in neighbouring U.S. towns and some from Alberta. My clients range from in their 20s to nearly 90. The beauty of what I do is being instrumental in bringing love into people’s lives. I meet with each and every one of my clients. They must be nonsmokers and pass a criminal record check. My clients are serious about meeting one special person and cherishing them when they do. I have had the pleasure, as a licensed marriage commissioner, of performing several of my clients’ wedding ceremonies as a gift to them.

Babcock believes in commitment to community Vancouver and, again, winning in 2014 on Russian ice.”

Babcock said hockey is “more than the medals. For me, it is really great when you have someone to share the success. It has to do with family.”

Drew Remenda, a Saskatonian who was a TV analyst with the San Jose Sharks, introduced Babcock as a friend of 38 years, and also took out the microphone for a question-and-answer session.

One woman wondered how minor hockey could combat the abuse of referees by the parents.

“I might say that you’re asking the wrong guy,” said Babcock with a laugh.

He admitted he has debated a few calls by referees in his day. Then he advised the woman to turn a camera on the abusive parents and let them judge whether they were behaving badly or not.

And then Babcock added another story.

“We were playing a game one night and, just by chance, referee Billy McCreary and I turned up at the same watering hole afterwards. Billy wanted to know

why I got so mad at him once during the game. I told Billy it was nothing personal, my team was playing a little flat and I was trying to get them fired up.”

to learn to get out and make a difference for themselves. We want them to decide the impact they can make on co-workers or in the room. Learn to be the real you and walk the walk.”

The breakfast function allowed Babcock to reflect on amazing hockey moments. Quite notable was the 2010 gold-medal hockey game at the Olympics in Vancouver.

“All of our preparation was aimed at winning the gold medal at home. We had a chance to deliver. We were a little frustrated when the United States tied the score 2-2 with about 27 seconds left in regulation time. We got a chance to regroup and we hoped the players were settling down,” said Babcock.

“I told them there was too much talent on the team and this was going to be an overtime which was going to be over in a hurry. One of you is going to be a hero for the rest of your life.”

Sure enough, Sidney Crosby scored the goal at 7:40 of overtime for a 3-2 Canadian victory.

Canada came back to win again in 2014, beating Sweden 3-0 in the final game after a tournament in which experts were wondering why the Canadians didn’t score more goals.

In a presentation that included slides, Babcock pointed to the leadership on the team provided by Crosby, his captain, and Shea Weber and Jonathan Toews, the assistant captains.

“They are world-class players, as good as human beings can be, and you can see the character in their faces. When it comes down to a game like this one, the big boys have to do it right. And when they do it right, the rest will follow. Our leadership got to internalize the message.”

Along the way, Babcock got a chance to sing some national anthems: Gold at the 1997 world junior championships, gold at the 2004 world championships and especially the “the gold on home ice at

SUDOKU

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express ike Babcock has lived in six Canadian provinces, but the one with the magic summertime lure is Saskatchewan.

“My wife, Maureen, and I have been coming back to Saskatchewan for 21 straight summers,” Babcock told a fundraising breakfast for St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation.

“Working in the National Hockey League allowed us to buy a summer home at Emma Lake. We wanted our three children to experience the real family atmosphere where they would get to enjoy the same things Maureen and I had as we were growing up. The foundation of life comes down to family and friends.”

While living in Saskatoon, Babcock attended St. James elementary school and Holy Cross High School, and played some hockey for the University of Saskatchewan. From those beginnings, he has been a head coach in the NHL since 2002, including the last nine years with the Detroit Red Wings. He is now the only coach in the world to lead his country to consecutive gold-medal victories at the Winter Olympics.

With those credentials, Babcock steps up to make commitments to the communities and the causes in which he believes.

His recent two-day stay was filled with events with the proceeds going to the Leslie and Irene Dube Urology Centre of Health. One was a morning breakfast called Off the Bench. The other was a signature golf tournament, Driving Fore Prostate, where other celebrity golfers included world champion and Olympic champion ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.

“I believe that life is about maximizing your opportunities,” said Babcock.

“Last year, we lost my mom to cancer. My wife and I believe in committing to Saskatchewan. As parents, we want a strong foundation for ourChenise children. We want them CP90094.F02

Are you concerned with high blood pressure or cholesterol, a lack of stamina and energy, a dip in libido and physical performance, or the increase of “senior moments?” The answer to living without these health concerns has been discovered in what scientists are calling the most important health breakthrough of our time. The discovery starts with nitric oxide (N-O)!

SREDA creating strong government partnerships to promote Saskatoon

he year 2014 saw the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) focus on creating strong partnerships with both federal and provincial governments in order to further strengthen all sectors in the city, including the ICT, Innovation, Biotechnology and Life Sciences sectors.

According to Kelly Martin, SREDA’s Business Development Officer, SREDA is working with the province to attract businesses that will focus on value added agriculture businesses, as well as agricultural processing industries, especially for cereal grains and pulse crops.

Martin says SREDA is currently in talks with a few companies in these industries and are working to bring their expansions to Saskatoon. Although the city is competing with bids from Alberta, Manitoba, Wyoming and the Dakotas, Martin maintains that the Saskatoon Region is in a strong position. “We have everything needed right here. We have

the bio-tech cluster at Innovation Place and the University of Saskatchewan with the Sciences and Agriculture colleges, both with a strong knowledge base. The partnerships between Agriculture, AgriFood Canada and the National Research Council with the bio-tech sector and the University of Saskatchewan have also established a very strong knowledge base for new companies and researchers to work with in the Saskatoon Region.

Being located where we are, companies also have access to necessary raw materials near the city, which cuts down on transportation and shipping costs.”

Additionally, SREDA is working with the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Office abroad to identify international investments for clinical vaccination trials being carried out at VIDO-InterVac and PREVENT. Vaccines for both humans and livestock are being developed, and the investments will go towards funding clinical trials as well as commercialization of

eptember 26th to October 3rd is National Biotechnology Week in Canada. In Saskatchewan, events are overseen by Ag-West Bio, Saskatchewan’s bioscience industry association.

National Biotech Week has been held each fall for the past 10 years.

The goal of Biotech Week, says AgWest Bio’s Jackie Robin, is to “celebrate innovation and commercialization with our colleagues within the sector, and to provide outreach to the public so that they have a better understanding of the benefits of biotechnology for everyone, whether they be in the areas of medicine, the environment or agriculture.”

The majority of the activities will take place in Saskatoon; however, the

Saskatchewan Science Centre is bringing the celebration to Regina with two events this year. Families are invited to come out to the Science Centre to learn about genotypes and phenotypes while building their own dinosaur. The Science Centre also encourages the public to attend a Science Café on Biotechnologies on October 1st.

Participants can connect from anywhere in the world by computer for a TweetChat called #FoodMyths. Organized by SREDA’s Kelly Martin, this event allows food experts, dieticians and scientists to address food myths that surround, for example, dairy and gluten products.

the vaccines. “Having international investment in these projects makes sense,” says Martin, “as Saskatoon researchers are creating technology for use worldwide.”

Other bio-tech research being conducted in the Saskatoon Region and being supported by SREDA focuses on finding new strains of wheat and other crops that will be able to better produce in Saskatchewan soil and weather conditions.

Martin says results of this research could lead to larger yields as well as reduced use of pesticides and herbicides.

Tech and IT companies in the Saskatoon Region are focused on a variety of mobile and social sectors with some that are specifically working JW11771.H25 James

on tracking social media to discern consumer attitudes and to use social media to increase global awareness.

Martin says that Saskatoon’s economy continues to grow, and companies will continue to re-invest in the community. For their part SREDA will continue to focus on government partnerships and continuing to both promote the city and to support and grow businesses. This includes planning and hosting forums for National Bio-Tech Week and taking part in the MOSO, or Mobile and Social IT, showcase in June. Those parts of her job, says Martin, are worth the extra effort. “It is so exciting to be able to take part in showcasing all of Saskatoon’s successful companies.”

Kasiel Solutions a great example of Saskatchewan innovation

S

erese Selanders of Kasiel Solutions was this year’s winner of the Saskatchewan Business Challenge (SkBC) for her design of a more modern alert button for seniors, one that looks like elegant jewellery instead of like a traditional medical device.

Selanders, who is currently Vice-President of Sales and Development for Affinity Credit Union, came up with the idea after her father got sick a couple of years ago. “When that happened,” she says, “my role changed. It was a significant time in my life, and it got me thinking, how do I keep my Dad safe?”

When he had recovered from that illness, Selanders spoke with her father about what he wanted from life, and about how she could help him achieve that goal. “The big thing that came up in our discussion,” she explains, “was independence. For my Dad and for others his age and in his situation, independence is so important.

They don’t want to feel like a bur-

den on their kids.” And for active seniors, this device has the bonus of working long range, not just in the home.

At the time, Selanders was taking her MBA and was enrolled in an entrepreneurship class, where they had to come up with a business idea. She first came up with her device for this class, and has worked on perfecting it ever since. For the SkBC, Selanders underwent a “gruelling six months of application, weekend boot camps, pitches, business plan and the final competition. It forced me to get my pitch very organized and polished.” And although she won a monetary prize, Selanders says that what meant most from winning the competition was “the validation from a third party that I was on the right path. In fact, one of the judges even reached out to me afterwards to invest in my project. It was a great experience, and a huge boost of confidence.”

Selanders says she has also gained confidence from the support show

for her project, and others in the city, by SREDA. “You can tell that they know we have talent here, and they provide excellent resources for that talent to thrive.”

In order to further help seniors to maintain their independence, Selanders has also developed a free stand-alone app for smart phones. This app has an emergency call button on the home page of the phone, an inactivity alert that will be sent out to family members, and a chat room for seniors. She has designed it all to be very “senior friendly”.

Selanders is still working on the final stages of her fall-detected device, and is excited to get it out to the public. And, she says, families are “chomping at the bit” to get the device for their loved ones.

Selanders is looking for seniors and their families to test out both her app and her device and to take part in a focus group. If you are interested, please contact her at serese@sasktel.net

Information Systems Management evolving to meet clients changing needs

I

nformation Systems Management (ISM) Canada’s Saskatoon location has been open for just over two years now. ISM, Saskatchewan’s biggest IT service provider, was once a Saskatchewan Crown Corporation, is now wholly owned

by IBM. Janelle Mansfield Territory Executive, and manager of the Saskatoon ISM Canada office says that ISM became well known for providing traditional IT services such as operating mainframe systems, data centres, and service desks for large corporate and government clients. The company also offered application management and project management services.

However, Mansfield says that ISM is now in a process of transformation. “We will not only provide IT, but will be working to help businesses use IT to solve business challenges.”

To move in the direction, ISM is focusing on providing services in five new areas: social media analytics, big data analytics, Cloud technology, mobile device management services and enterprise content management.

Mansfield explains that, in particular, social media analytics enable ISM’s clients “to better understand the market in which they are working, and allows technology to be a business driver.”

By tracking with the use of key words, ISM can design a campaign that targets business challenges based on information collected from various social media platforms. “We then take that information and analyse it, and can identify consumer attitudes towards specific issues. We can even break those attitudes down by gender bias and age demographics. Our clients can take that information and use it to tailor their marketing strategies to address the

CP90207.H25 Chenise

www.foodcentre.sk.ca info@foodcentre.sk.ca

needs brought to light through the analysis.” Along with marketing opportunities, Mansfield says that social media analytics can also have impacts in the areas of Human Resources and Public Relations.

“Human Resources teams could use this model to aid in recruitment. It can help to narrow down a field of potential candidates for any position. As for PR, if a company has had recent media issues, our analytics can gauge public response to any statements and help the company to change responses on the fly, as needed.

It can all be done very quickly.” Mansfield goes on to explain that “being able to determine the wants and opinions of a demographic is important. You can never assume what your target audience is thinking. Our information allows our clients to use research-based intelligence behind their decisions.” Mansfield says there has been a lot of interest in the new service, especially since ISM supports the service and provides the analysis. “We provide the service. Our clients don’t need to learn how to use new IT, because we work with them.”

ISM is working to build a strong client base for its new analytics services.

Mansfield says that the Saskatoon office is working both to establish itself within the business sector and to build an awareness of the company’s new approach and innovative new services. Mansfield is doing this partly through networking opportunities provided by SREDA, and through various community outreach initiatives.

Mansfield and ISM are “excited to be in “Saskatoon’s dynamic market. It’s an exciting time to be involved in this market, and to be finding new ways to a help our customers achieve their goals,” said Mansfield.

Martin says that events and venues will be kept casual and welcoming to encourage engagement from participants.

For example, a public lecture Nullius in Verba: The Importance of Skeptical Science and Skepticism in Science will be held at Winston’s Pub, and with Dr. Scott Napper from the University of Saskatchewan. The Women in BioScience networking event will be held at Louis’ Loft (Browsers), and Biotech & Beer will take place at Boffin’s at Innovation Place.

Martin says there are several events that focus on getting students at the post-secondary, high school and middle years levels involved as well. Once again, students will be able to parJW11695.H25 James

ticipate in the Fourth Annual Amazing Biotech Race where students from the U of S, SIAST and high schools in Saskatoon can race to search for clues and perform lab challenges, all designed to introduce them to bioscience companies in Saskatoon. For younger students, the Walking Dead Dance, a zombie-themed dance, will be held to teach them about pathogens. “It will be held at noon in a number of schools,” says Robin. “Students will shake hands with people when entering, and at various points during the dance, a black light will come on to spotlight who was ‘infected.’ Teachers can then use this experience as a platform to talk about contagions and vaccines.”

Canadian Light Source working to provide new alternative source of medical isotopes

cientists at Saskatoon’s Canadian Light Source are pioneering research into finding alternative methods to produce technetium-99m (Tc-99m), the isotope used for conducting medical tests such as cardiac stress tests and bone scans used to detect cancer. Currently, the majority of the world’s Tc-99m comes from the decay from molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), produced at the nuclear reactor in Chalk River, ON, as well as another one in the Netherlands. However, both of these aging facilities are expected to cease production in the next few years.

Mark de Jong is directing the project, and as he explains, traditionally, Mo-99 has been produced from highly enriched uranium. But with international nuclear non-proliferation treaties being signed, governments are looking to eliminate the use of highly enriched uranium for civilian purposes. According to de Jong, researchers in South Africa and Australia produce the isotope from lower enriched uranium, but that process currently does not produce enough quantity to replace the two old reactors.

What the CLS group is working on, with the aid of the electron accelerator, is a method to produce Mo-99 from molybdenum-100 (Mo-100) at CLS. Furthermore, de Jong says researchers are working on a way to take the unused Mo-100 and produce more Mo-99 from

it. “We plan to recycle the molybdenum, so there will be virtually no waste,” he explains. Currently, the team has produced a sample quantity of Mo-99, and are waiting for permission to evaluate it.

The Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre will extract the Tc-99m from the Mo-99 and conduct the testing. Once the new CLS facility has been successfully tested and the isotopes have been approved for use in hospitals, de Jong’s team will work to sell and install similar units worldwide.

One of the benefits of the CLS approach, says de Jong, is that “the equipment can be set up in a medium sized room, and this technology will be capable of producing medical isotopes for around 2 million people. They will be relatively simple to set up and to find space for, so a region could conceivably have more than one.” de Jong expects this technology to in particular make a positive impact on developing countries. “For example” he explains “right now in Armenia, they do the same number of medical isotope tests in a year as Canada does in a day. One of our machines could serve their entire country.”

As well as its size making it attractive and available, the use of Tc-99 produced using the new CLS technique will be more cost effective than using alternate scan methods. “You could use a PET

Mark de Jong, project director of the CLS Medical Isotope Program scan, but they are less available and more expensive. We are hoping our plan will present an option that is both available and cost-effective.” de Jong says that Saskatoon is the ideal place to conduct this research, with its strong bio-technology sector and the co-

operation of the University of Saskatchewan and the networking and promotion provided by groups like SREDA. The Canadian Light Source Medical Isotope Program expects to celebrate its official grand opening in Saskatoon in September.

Cargill expanding Clavet facility with new refinery

C

argill is growing its presence in Clavet, Saskatchewan as a major hub of food oil processing and distribution. The Clavet canola crush facility was first built in 1996 and later expanded in 2009. It currently is the largest canola processing facility in Canada and capable of processing 1.5 million metric tonnes per year serving the canola growers of Saskatchewan- Canada’s largest canola producing province.

Construction is currently underway for a state-of-the-art refinery at Clavet, adjacent to the Cargill Crushing facility.

This is the first refinery Cargill has built in Canada. The refinery will have the capacity to refine 1 Billion lbs. annually,

making it the largest Cargill refinery in North America. Approximately 80-100 people will be employed during the plant’s construction, and 30 employees will be hired to operate and maintain the facility after operation.

This major investment by Cargill demonstrates their confidence in the continued growth and competitiveness of the canola industry in Canada.

“We are proud to see consistent growth in Canadian agriculture,” said Jeff Vassart, President, Cargill Limited.

“The decision to expand our Clavet location with the addition of a refinery was driven by our customers’ needs. We believe we can be the best partner for

our customers by making investments in new solutions and assets that meet market demands and other business goals that strengthen the food value chain,” added Vassart.

The products that the refinery will produce will include Refined Generic Canola Oil, Refined Specialty Canola Oil, and Refined Blended Oil. All of these products will be used in food service (frying oil) or in food applications. The refinery will service major restaurant chains (frying applications) and food manufacturers, for products like potato chips, crackers, etc.

Cargill has deep roots in the Province of Saskatchewan, and is a leader in corporate social responsibility and community

engagement. As a proud supporter of the United Way, Cargill businesses in the Saskatoon region raised over $60,000 for the United Way Saskatoon. It is not uncommon to see Cargill Cares employees volunteering at elementary schools, promoting environmental sustainability, and tending to community gardens like the Saskatoon Food Bank and Garden Patch – of which Cargill is a key annual sponsor.

The new refinery facility will allow for additional economic activity in the Saskatoon region and will add to the company’s footprint in the Province. In Saskatchewan, Cargill currently operates 28 locations and employs over 550 people.

Going into the tournament, she had the Canadian rugby team that just had its confidence in her team’s ability to produce best run in history in the World Cup. wins.

I caught Kayla for a few minutes during “I think we knew that if we performed her whirlwind return to Saskatoon, just that we could make it to the top.

Kayla Mack said being a “workhorse” helped her make the Canadian rugby team (Photo by Joelle Tomlinson) I admire Kayla for her honesty and transparency after the tough loss. When I asked her about future plans, she is already thinking about the next World Cup in three years. Rugby is her life now, and she can’t imagine what it would be like without her team, her teammates and her passion.

“I almost didn’t go to my first rugby opportunity, and I am eternally grateful that I did. I’ve seen the world and I’ve met the most amazing people that I probably will ever meet.”

A Saskatchewan girl through and through, Kayla is still thinking of others in her home province. Though most universities in Canada now have a rugby team, the

University of Saskatchewan hasn’t put up a roster yet.

“I think Saskatoon is ready for rugby.

It’s a growing city. There’s so many young people moving here, and there’s so much opportunity for it to grow. It’s one of the fastest-growing sports in Canada, and it’s going to hit us, hopefully sooner than later.

And, when it does, I hope to be a big part of that.”

The next step for Kayla is a move to Victoria in September to train with Canada’s national sevens team. One thing is certain: Wherever this friendly, selfdubbed “workhorse” goes, she will make Saskatchewan proud.

a way that it beautifully showcases Mother Nature, as opposed to imposing upon it.

Immaculate.

The food: We had beautiful weather during our stay, and spent a fair amount of time off-resort on the beaches of Waskesiu. This meant we ate at a number of town restaurants, a feat which we eventually just abandoned altogether about halfway through our vacation.

The first meal we had in town was not only tremendously delayed. When the server finally did bring out our meal, she brought out half of it. Literally, each plate was only half of the order. She’d bring out the rest when it’s ready, we were advised as we stared confusedly first at our plates, and then each other.

The next day at a different restaurant we didn’t receive one item we’d actually ordered. At the next, the server sheepishly listed all of the items they didn’t have – at least half the menu. “You’ve been busy today,” we said. “No, just unprepared,” mumbled the server. Oh. At Elk Ridge every single meal was hot, prompt and awesome. I don’t care what it costs (and it’s no more than anywhere else up there), I’d rather pay good money for an

excellent dining experience than throw good money after bad.

The pool: I love the rustic lake experience as much as the next person. But with access to the lodge’s indoor swimming pool and waterslide, I know my kids are going to have something fun to look forward to every day, regardless of the weather. Bonus: it’s a saltwater pool.

When my kid got one heck of a case of swimmer’s itch from the lake, a dip in the saltwater pretty much killed his maniainducing scratching frenzy. Plus, he was able to continue to enjoy some water play given the fact we weren’t real excited to jump back in the lake.

So what’s the point of this rave review?

It’s that I figured out how to make peace with the fact that winter is in warm-ups right now, waiting in the wings, and probably not that patiently, either. I’m going to make Elk Ridge a year-round tradition, given that I can’t think of a better way to experience all four seasons. I will make a trip up to see the fall colours in the trees, and another to go ice skating on the pond after breakfast and then watersliding in the afternoon. It’s not Mexico. It’s even better.

anice Hough, on George W. Bush taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and challenging Bill Clinton to do the same: “And Bill responded, ‘Take the Ice Bucket Challenge? I’ve been married to her for 39 years.’” l Torben Rolfsen, on the NHL announcing a change in its draft lottery starting next spring: “Instead of 25 per cent, Buffalo has a 20 per cent chance of winning.” l TC Chong, on the NFL asking entertainers to pay for the privilege of being part of the Super Bowl halftime show: “To recoup some of their money, bands can charge a two-drink minimum for fans wishing to come onto the field.” l Frank McCrystal is stepping down as coach of the Regina Rams after this season. Although I have never talked with him, I think his boycott of doing interviews with StarPhoenix reporters had something to do with things I wrote back in the day when Frank’s ego got the best of him when he would dis many things Saskatoon. l My goodness, I don’t think I have ever used the word dis in a column. I promise I never will again.

l I usually don’t jab amateur athletes, but one Rams quarterback crossed my line when he faked taking a knee on a final play of a game against the Hilltops and threw a touchdown pass. My comment earned me a letter from a Regina lawyer — representing the quarterback’s family — threatening to sue me if I wrote anything more about him. I think I might have taken one more poke on principle. l From Bill Littlejohn: “Little League World Series player Blake Money has a brother named Cash — as in Cash Money.

l From Littlejohn: “With one gesture to the opposing sidelines, Johnny Manziel is no longer Johnny Football. He’s more like Ilie Tennis.” l Hough, on Philadelphia pitcher AJ Burnett saying he is thinking of retiring after the season: “This is as opposed to the rest of the Phillies, who called it quits before the All-Star break.” l From Rolfsen: “The Cleveland Browns QB competition is moving forward at about the same pace as the CFL East race.” l Chris Milo says he welcomes a challenge for his job with the Riders. Isn’t this like the captain of the Titanic welcoming a challenge from an iceberg? l I am not sure if has had an affect on his kicking, but Milo sure has become a portly fellow. l From Hough: “Many Canadians really don’t get this Ice Bucket Challenge thing. Really, how is it different from, say, a CFL playoff game in Saskatchewan?” l Chong, on Barcelona forward Luis Suarez promising he will never again bite someone: “He made this promise as FIFA was fitting him for a Hannibal Lecter mask.”

Jewelry designer inspired by Prairie beauty Courtney Bowman for the Saskatoon Express or Saskatoon-born jewelry designer Alora Arnold, moving to Toronto to attend the prestigious fashion design program at Ryerson University in 2010 was intended to be a permanent departure from the Land of the Living Skies.

Being away from the province’s natural beauty, however, brought to light her attachment to the Prairie lifestyle and the creativity it inspires.

“I have come to realize that I am most inspired to create when I am home in Saskatchewan. I feel grounded and closer to the natural world,” Arnold said.

Now, using skills she obtained at Ryerson while completing her Bachelor of Design degree, Arnold has established her own jewelry company called Artifacts.

“Ryerson’s fashion design program is largely garment based. When I applied to the school, I did not know jewelry was going to be my path; I just knew I wanted a creative career. Even though the program was not specifically focused on my ultimate career goal, it has taught me many invaluable skills like graphic design, time management and to always hold yourself to industry standards, even when you are a small design company.”

A three-year internship gave Arnold the opportunity to be mentored by Jenny Bird, owner of the namesake indie lux jewelry company. The mentoring imparted necessary skills for maintaining a standard of expert craftsmanship and the practical aspects of managing a small business. Throughout the internship, Arnold was given the opportunity to assist with jewelry production, assemble samples and help with sample sales, photo shoots and sourcing creative inspiration.

She eventually contributed to the design of new collections.

“Jenny and her husband, Adam, shared so much invaluable information during my time with them. They taught me how to approach a creative dream from a practical standpoint and gave me the tools to make a viable business out of my creativity. Jenny helped hone and focus my creative vision, which is important for a strong brand image and marketing.”

The materials Arnold uses for her jewelry designs reflect her love of nature and animals, especially horses. This passion is reflected inJames the predominance of leather and vintage JW11772.H25

Alora Arnold raw brass chain in her pieces.

The high-quality brass chain is sourced from a supplier just outside of Toronto.

Being able to frequent Prince Albert National Park, where her family owns property, has also influenced her choice of materials, with several items featuring pieces of bone and antler. Other materials that are frequently incorporated include semiprecious stones such as turquoise, lapis, jasper and quartz.

Recognizing that these are materials that frequently appear in First Nations jewelry, Arnold has sought to pay homage to indigenous culture by naming her most recent collection after reservations in Saskatchewan.

Though her previous collection was named after Saskatchewan ghost towns, Arnold wanted to revisit the theme of her fourth-year Bachelor of Design thesis project, of which the topic was exploring respectful ways of being inspired by other cultures.

“I wanted to reference the communities and cultures that inspired my research . . . through the medium of jewelry.”

Occasionally, Arnold features one-of-a-kind pieces on her website.

“The current collection features some limited-edition pieces. I used large turquoise stones that are unique and hard to come by. This makes the pieces very special. I also do

Alora Arnold uses materials that reflect her love of nature and animals (Photos Submitted) some custom work, such as the breastplate on my website, which is only available by custom order because it is very time-consuming and costly to produce.”

Though the dream of pursuing her own jewelry business sometimes seems overwhelming, Arnold says she relies on the inspiration of her mentor to get her through difficult times.

“I will never forget what Jenny shared with me on my first day: ‘You can never fail if you don’t give up.’ It is never easy, but you must work hard and have conviction and, ultimately, you will be a happier and more fulfilled person for it.”

Arnold’s pieces can be viewed and purchased at www. artifactsjewelry.ca. You can also follow Artifacts jewelry on Twitter @_artifacts.

“We’ve always been very proud of the fact that all four us of write the songs together. All four of us bring in guitar ideas, music ideas. And I think it’s what separates us from a lot of the bands,” said Dahl. “Satellite Radio is something new for us. It has this darkness to it in the verses and then in the chorus it’s one of the most uplifting things we’ve done as writers. It’s got that dark-light contrast, which I think all good rock’n’roll songs should have.”

Those hoping to get a taste of Black Buffalo can attend the One Bad Son CD release party on Sept. 5 at O’Brians Event Centre. Tickets are available on the website at obrianseventcentre.ca.

Dahl says he and the band are excited to perform in Saskatoon to celebrate this latest release. After two years of an intensive touring schedule, there really is no place like home.

“No matter where we go in the country, we see a lot of people and places, but we always miss the Saskatoon people.

Health Quality Council launches first Saskatchewan Change Day

P

eople working in Saskatchewan’s health care system, and those who access care, are being encouraged to pledge to do one small thing to make the health system better, as part of a new campaign called Saskatchewan Change Day. Saskatchewan Change Day will be held on Nov. 6. The campaign, which is organized by the province’s Health Quality Council (HQC), is an initiative modelled after the highly successful NHS Change Day in the United Kingdom. Change Day is about trying something new or making one small change to improve the lives of patients, family members and health care workers.

“While health system transformation requires large improvement initiatives, the small actions we take and the things we say every day also matter. Combined, those small actions can make a big difference,” Dr. Susan Shaw, HQC board chair, said in a news release.

Shaw, who practices critical care and anesthesiology in Saskatoon Health Region, has pledged to spend an hour in an intensive care unit (ICU) bed “paying attention to what it might feel like to be one of our patients.”

Meanwhile, Bonnie Brossart, HQC’s chief executive officer, has pledged to “return any abandoned wheelchair back to its ‘home’ unit so that patients and staff don’t have to go looking for one.”

“Through Change Day, we want to inspire and excite people about the power within them to make a difference,” Brossart said in the release. “Change Day is a positive social movement that everyone can participate in.”

From now until Change Day, people can make pledges online at www.skchangeday.com and act on their pledges any time until Nov. 6.

More than 300 pledges have been made since Saskatchewan Change Day was launched at the provincial Health Care Quality Summit in May. Once a pledge is made, the pledger is encouraged to share it with others in person and on social media. For example, people can follow Saskatchewan Change Day on Twitter (@SKChangeDay) and find it on Facebook by searching for “Saskatchewan Change Day.” Pledgers can also download the free OneStory app and use it to share their pledges by recording videos.

Complete information about making and sharing pledges is available on the Saskatchewan Change Day website at www. skchangeday.com.

Volunteers needed for arthritis research

Don Ratcliffe-Smith for the Saskatoon Express s arthritis pain getting in the way of regular exercise, or do some people still manage to exercise? A team of researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are in the middle of a three-year research program that has begun to answer these questions.

As many as 4.5 million Canadians have arthritis, according to the Arthritis Society of Canada, making it one of the most common types of chronic disease. Doing exercise where your heart beats faster than normal for 150 minutes or more each week decreases the symptoms from arthritis — such as joint pain and stiffness — over time, according to the Centers for Disease Control in the United States. However, up to 60 per cent of adults with arthritis are not regular exercisers.

“We are interested in figuring out how some people deal with their disease and still manage to meet the recommended exercise level,” said lead researcher Nancy Gyurcsik, associate professor in the College of Kinesiology at the U of S. “Arthritis pain is one of the most often reported barriers to exercise.

But we are finding that what separates people who exercise more from those who exercise less is not their pain. Rather, it’s their psychological reactions to their pain.

For example, people who exercise more have greater pain acceptance — they are more willing to engage in behaviours that they value, like exercise, despite their pain compared with people who struggle to exercise.”

Gyurcsik stressed that their research is looking at people with less severe cases of arthritis and who are able to exercise but may not, versus those with severe cases where pain prevents almost all activity.

Participants in an earlier phase of the research shared the barriers to exercise that they face. Their input helped identify roughly 20 barriers/challenges that they may JW11774.H25 Jamesdetermined which of encounter. Researchers

I

these barriers created the most difficulty to follow through on planned exercise, and also which ones the participants experienced the most.

The research team is now focused on getting a better understanding of how people deal with having an arthritis flare and still attempt to exercise.

“Being in a flare can be a really big challenge to people’s exercise plans. People have a lot more arthritis symptoms than usual — be it more pain, joint stiffness or even joint swelling,” said co-lead research assistant Miranda Cary.

“Given that no cure exists for arthritis, we hope that we can eventually help people learn to self-manage their disease,” said Gyurcsik. “We hope to teach people with arthritis how to develop a psychological tool kit, so to speak, that they can use to stick with their exercise plans.”

The researchers are looking for adult volunteers to participate in their current study.

If interested, you must have experienced one arthritis flare in the last year, you must be trying to exercise at any level and you must be able to meet the researchers on the U of S campus to fill out some surveys.

“Our volunteers are telling us that the surveys are really easy to get through,” said co-lead research assistant James Sessford.

He noted that volunteers do not have to be in an arthritis flare when they do the surveys.

If you are interested in participating in the study, email the researchers at arthritis.study.

UofS@usask.ca or call 306-966-8659 for more information. This study is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation. All inquiries are confidential, and all data provided by volunteers is kept confidential and anonymous.
