Running for Kyley Twin sister to fulfill magical dream

Kurstin Bulas and Taylor Pfeifer are raising money for the Neural Health Project (Photo by Joelle Tomlinson) Joelle Tomlinson for the Saskatoon Express t was May 12 of this year when Kurstin Bulas received the news that would change her life forever. Her identical twin, her best friend and companion since birth, Kyley, had died. “From the time we were born, we had to sleep together, up until we were around 10 or 11,” recalled Kurstin with a laugh. “Even when I moved out for a bit, we made sure to have sleepovers. We were as close as you could get.”

Kyley had been struggling with mental health problems for a few years. After being diagnosed with major depressive disorder, her family watched her battle, and eventual succumb, to the disease. “The thing about Kyley is she was so full of life, so caring and so selfless,” said Kurstin. “Someone could do something awful to her, and she wouldn’t hesitate to help them out the next day. Ask anyone and they’ll tell you how beautiful and special she was.” Kyley and Kurstin shared a childhood

love for one destination: Disney World. When they were offered one destination to travel to years ago, they chose the magical realm. They learned about the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. The pact was made. Together, they would run that marathon someday. Kurstin, an avid runner, plans to fulfill that dream next year. Instead of Kyley by her side, her boyfriend Taylor Pfeifer will stride alongside her. Together, they have shouldered the tumultuous events of this year.

“I came to Taylor with this idea, and he helped me turn it into a reality,” said Kurstin. “I’m so grateful that all those who loved Kyley can still be involved in her life and remember what she was all about.” Kurstin and Taylor will not be simply crossing off an item fron the twin’s bucket list. Together they have created a crowdfunding initiative in order to raise money for the Neural Health Project, a first of its kind in Saskatoon. (Continued on page 4)

Nine minutes of fear on flight

have a weird habit when I board an airplane. I often look around the cabin, checking out the passengers around me, as well as those walking down the aisle. If we crash, I want to know who is going down with me. Thankfully, the thought always goes away when the drink service begins. It’s easy to be flippant if you haven’t experienced the fright of being on a plane that seems doomed. As the plane rapidly Editor descends, there is no information provided, just an oxygen mask that has dropped in front of your face. Human minds will think the worst. A Saskatonian recently had that experience. Mario Caceres was on WestJet Flight 323 from Toronto to Saskatoon on July 11. With the plane at its cruising altitude of 40,000 feet, the seat belt light came on, followed by oxygen masks dropping. Before getting Mario to tell the story, there is a qualifier. Mario does not want a big deal made of this. I approached him to share his story. No one died on his flight, he emphasized. This is one person’s account of being on a plane in an emergency situation. “I know so many people have gone through worse things,” he said. As an example, he talked about his homeland — Honduras — where violence is much more prevalent than it is in Canada. Mario, a senior research executive at Insightrix Research Inc., has been wary of flying since he was 11. He and his 12-year-old sister were flying without their parents from Houston to a small town in Texas on a seven-seat airplane when a storm hit. The plane bounced around with lightning flashing just outside the window. Mario’s sister’s hand covered his, her

Mario Caceres, his wife, Yuko Yamano, and their children Naomi Caceres and Kai Caceres (Photo Supplied) nails digging into his skin. “Since that day, I’ve been afraid of flying. So every time I fly, I am concerned, like many people are.” Mario said people were relatively calm on Flight 323 after oxygen masks dropped in front of them. One woman screamed for help to get oxygen masks on her children. In one row, the masks didn’t drop and a passenger helped get them down. What followed were nine minutes of terror, uncertainty and soul searching, as the plane rapidly dropped from 40,000 feet to 9,000 feet. (Please see the graphic on page 4 of its minute-by-minute descent.) “We reached cruising altitude and all of a sudden the fasten your seatbelt sign goes on. In my mind, I am thinking, ‘Here comes some turbulence.’ That’s OK; I kind of like it when I know ahead of time. We moved a little bit and then the oxygen masks dropped. That is where the nine minutes begins, I think. At the beginning, it was full of confusion.” He and the passenger next to him were monitoring the movement of the aircraft on the flight tracker on the back of the seat in front of them. “All of a sudden the plane started to shake a lot and starts dropping down — at the beginning not very fast. You kind of wonder, ‘What’s going on?’ ” Mario used some of those nine minutes to review his life. “At one point, I just looked around. In my memory I remember it in slow motion. I panned 360 degrees and I saw everything in slow motion: all the faces, all the confusion. After that I said, ‘This is happening. Is this really happening?’ The statistics of this happening are really low. I said, ‘No, it’s bad luck.’ We’re going down. This is it. There’s nothing I can do.’

“And then you start thinking and all the important things in life are revealed to you. Your life flashing in a few seconds for me wasn’t true. It did not flash. All I could think about was mostly my little daughter, who is four, my wife and our baby. And then my family, like my mother and my siblings. I pulled out my phone and tried texting my wife ‘I love you.’ It didn’t work, so I put it back in my pocket. “Then I started thinking. I am kind of like a workaholic. In the two years I have been (in Saskatoon), I have only taken six days of vacation, which four were for when my baby was born. I was thinking I should have taken more vacation. I should have spent more time with my family. “I should have bought life insurance. That came into my mind because a lady asked me two days before. I didn’t think at all about work. That didn’t come to my mind. I am a very spiritual person. And I started praying to take care of my family. “Then the plane crossed a psychological altitude of 10,000 feet, you can see the ground getting closer and it’s still dropping. I was losing hope. I almost lost all hope. The prayer at that point was two things: One, I did pray, ‘Save me, save me.’ Kind of like the last plea. And then one thought was fixated in my mind, and I don’t know why: It was like, ‘I hope it doesn’t hurt.’ I don’t know why I thought that. That was it; get it over with.” At 9,000 feet, the plane seemed to level out. When the screen refreshed again, it said 9,000 feet. The worst was over. The landing was rough, but Mario and the other passengers on the plane were safe. (Continued on page 4)

Landscaping needed near 11th Street overpass out tickets if it doesn’t have to. It’s almost like a last resort. Some drivers in our city haven’t been as law abiding as they should be. There are different types of tickets. Parking tickets are separate from speeding, cellphones and seatbelts. Parking ticket revenues come to the City. With speeding tickets, seatbelts and that kind of traffic ticket, the revenues are split with the province. When the reader asks about legal fees, the Province of Saskatchewan picks up that cost out of its portion. In terms of officers testifying, we really don’t know how long officers are going to be in court — if it is adjourned or a half day or a full day or an hour, whatever the case. So the numbers vary. I can’t give you an exact number because we don’t know what the exact number would be.

Question: If the City gives out $1,000 in traffic tickets, after all expenses are paid to collect — legal fees and fees paid to city police to testify — how much of that $1,000 gets to the (Have a question for Mayor AtchiCity? son?

the business have to be visible. I can’t remember if they have to be three or four inches in height. But they have to be visible. This is not only for businesses, but homes as well. One thing I would like to see are streets signs at intersections with the block numbers on the signs. You see it in major cities and I think we should consider this as well. For example, if you are going down Eighth Street and it is the 2200 block ahead of you, it would say the 2200 block of Eighth Street on one side and the 2100 block on the other side. I think that is quite helpful when you have a fast growing city like ours.

We could not pull this off without our volunteers.” Those familiar with the popular television reality show will recognize the format immediately — a series of clues, mental and physical challenges and obstacles designed to stand between each team of two participants and the finish line. The goal of the Amazing Race - Lighthouse Edition is to have a fun adventure race on foot, with teams of two contending to raise muchneeded funds, enjoy the competition and experience a unique team-building event. “The race takes place at various locations downtown, including businesses and non-profits,” explained Mercier. “The whole event takes place within walking distance of the Lighthouse.

lenges will be fun team events, while others are designed to give participants a greater understanding of those who have limited resources. Many people are not aware of the various agencies that help people in Saskatoon when times are tough. Hopefully this experience will inspire people to further volunteer or donate in the future as well. “We still have lots of room for teams to enter,” she said. “We are hoping for 25 teams at least to start our first year, but we would love to have as many as 50. The team that raises the most money will win two tickets to anywhere that WestJet flies, and the team that wins the Amazing Race will receive a two-night stay at Lost Creek Resort in Waskesiu.” The proceeds will go towards the Lighthouse Mobile Outreach and programming for those who stay at the Lighthouse, which includes life skills, anger management, people skills and personal boundaries classes. Teams of two can register at www. lighthouseamazingrace.org. The website also provides the opportunity to check out the top fundraising teams as they prep for the event, as well as search for teams and support those that are competing. The event takes place on Sept. 19 at 1 p.m., with the race kicking off at the Lighthouse at 227 20th St. East. The deadline to register your team is Sept. 15.

Saskatoon Sexual Assault Centre’s fashion-show fundraiser Sept. 19

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express he Saskatoon Sexual Assault & Information Centre’s 11th annual Luncheon en Vogue event is set to take place on Sept. 19. The fashion-show fundraiser, which will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at TCU Place, will feature a silent auction, door prizes and more. The money raised will support crisis services and prevention programs at Saskatoon Sexual Assault & Information Centre (SSAIC), which works with survivors of past and present sexual abuse. “It’s a really important fundraiser for us,” said Heather Pocock, SSAIC’s assistant director and public education coordinator. SSAIC provides services to approximately 500 new clients each year, of which 85 per cent are female and 15 per cent are male. The statistics reflect various forms of sexual violence, including sexual harassment, incest, adult sexual assault and child sexual abuse. The organization defines sexual assault as “forced participation in any type of sexual activity. It can range from unwanted kissing or touching to forced sexual intercourse. Sexual assault is an act of power and control in which the victim can be coerced to participate or forced through violent actions or words.” Pocock said SSAIC provides a number of direct-service programs, including counselling for individuals as well as the family members and supporters of anyone who has been victimized by sexual abuse. “We do not maintain a waiting list. That means people can walk in or they can call us, and we can generally set up an appointment very quickly for them so that they don’t have to wait months for getting the help they need,” she said. “All counselling is free and it’s confidential, and that’s really important for people. That accessibility is really critical. When somebody’s ready to talk, it’s really important that there’s somebody there — especially with this issue. It’s something that people don’t talk about easily. If we can be accessible to them, that’s a very good thing.” SSAIC also offers a 24-hour crisis line, which can be accessed by calling 306244-2224. Volunteers complete a 30-hour training program so that they are prepared to “deal with almost any kind of scenario that they might encounter” while answering calls on the crisis line, said Pocock.

“The other critical thing about the crisis line is that they are available to go and accompany somebody should they need to go for a forensics kit or go to the police station when it’s after hours. There’s somebody available to support somebody, to walk them through that system, to be with them so they’re not alone,” Pocock said. “That’s a really valuable service, and we know about half of our clients come through the crisis line first. We know it does definitely meet a need in the community,” she added. SSAIC hosts a variety of support groups for women, men and teens, as well as a new project funded by Health Canada that offers sexual abuse counselling and support to aboriginal survivors of residential schools. In addition to those direct-service programs, SSAIC also focuses on public education and awareness. The I’m the Boss of Me program, for example, features a puppet show for Grade 4 students that explains what sexual abuse is, why it is wrong and how to get help. “That really grew last year. We did 94 shows in the eight weeks and reached over 2,400 kids, so very significant growth. I think it was 17 per cent growth last year, so that’s huge, and we will be looking for volunteers very soon. Once we’re done our fundraiser this month, we start preparing for the puppet show,” said Pocock. “So that’s our big one, and then we also do a lot of work in junior high and high school on dating violence prevention and awareness,” she added. “We’re working with the university on their Sexual Assault Awareness week, and that is the week of Sept. 22, so we’ll be doing a few training sessions with them.” Although SSAIC receives funding from other organizations and from government sources, gaps still exist, said Pocock. That means fundraising is “critical” to ensure that SSAIC can continue to offer its programs and services, she said. As a result, the annual Luncheon en Vogue event is important to the organization. Tickets to Luncheon en Vogue are $45 each or $360 for a table of eight. They can be purchased from SSAIC, by calling 306-244-2294, or at Paramount Boutique, which is located at 702 Second Ave. North.

Use bargaining power to avoid paying extra charges at hotels

By Arthur Frommer n a state of weary resignation, most of us have become used to the extra charges that airlines now routinely add to their fares. We think nothing of the fee for making a phone call to an airline reservationist, the charge for checking luggage onto a flight or for occupying an economy seat with two inches of extra legroom. The reason these charges don’t arouse anger is that they truly are optional. You can escape the luggage fee by not bringing a suitcase with you. You can make all your reservations online and not by phone, and you easily can dispense with the extra legroom. Not so with the latest flurry of extra charges at hotels. Without advising you in advance, hotels all across the United States are charging extra for an in-room safe, even if you don’t use it, or for a parking lot attached to the hotel, even if you are without a car. Some of you, without advance knowledge, will be charged extra for a room with two queen beds instead of one king bed, or for moving a soft drink within the minibar for the simple purpose of looking at its ingredients (even though you don’t consume it). Almost without exception, these wholly unexpected charges are added to the bill you see for the first time after you have occupied your room. A recent article distributed by the Associated Press documented an unsettling trend among hotels to copy the extra charges that have brought billions of dollars in extra income to the airlines. Almost every week, some hotel functionary thinks up another charge with which to bedevil your life. Some hotels are now charging you extra for checking in early or for checking out late. Virtually every hotel in Las Vegas now adds a hefty “resort fee” to your bill, sometimes amount-

ing to as much as $40 per day. You pay for the swimming pool even if you don’t use it; you pay for the exercise room even if you’re not aware of its existence. How can you avoid these charges? I have a tactic that has worked for me on several occasions, although it may require phoning several hotels before you make a definite reservation at one. It involves your demanding of the telephone reservationist that no fees at all be added to the basic room rate that has been quoted to you. And if the telephone agent assures you that such fees will not be added, you then ask that an email be sent to you confirming that commitment. Printing and keeping the email, you can then brandish it to the front-desk clerk when paying your bill. A great many telephone reservationists will answer that they are not authorized to make such a commitment. In which case you then say that you will not make the reservation. Eventually, in my experience, you will find a hungry hotel whose reservations personnel will accede to your request in order not to lose business. In other words, you phone several hotels in order to find one that will waive the extra fees. In effect, you use your bargaining power as a source of much-needed business to achieve a waiver of all extra fees. Every hotel has nights when they need the extra business, and a great many reservations clerks will consult with a supervisor to see whether he or she can waive the extra fees. Does this require extra work on your part? Yes. But it’s a potent method for striking back at a practice that is now sweeping the hotel world, and requiring many unsuspecting travellers to pay a great deal of money that they could have saved.

Actor returns to Persephone for 40th anniversary season

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express ussell Roberts is happy to be in Saskatoon. “It’s just a sheer delight to be here,” he said in a recent interview. The Vancouver-based actor is impressed with many things in the city: the downtown, the South Saskatchewan River, the friendliness of the Prairie people and the Remai Arts Centre space at River Landing. Roberts is also excited to return to Persephone Theatre after more than three decades, having last appeared in a Patrick Wood (left) and Chad Reynolds are the founders of YXE Street Food Persephone show back in 1982. (Photo Supplied) “It’s wonderful to be in this new space. It’s just gorgeous. As always, the people — the administration, the staff and crew — everybody is just fantastic,” he said. Roberts is part of history in the making at Persephone Theatre. This month, the company is launching its 40th anniversary Tammy Robert season with Hedda Gabler, a show written along the riverbank in the sun, rather than Saskatoon Express by the acclaimed Norwegian playwright sitting in a restaurant.

Russell Roberts stars in Hedda Gabler, the play that opens Persephone’s new season (Photo Supplied) Although Roberts hasn’t worked professionally with his wife in a while, he is certainly no stranger to the stage. His 35-year career spans 200 productions, with recent credits including Man of La Mancha (Globe Theatre) and Spamalot (Citadel Theatre). He has also appeared on television and on film, with select credits including Twilight: New Moon, Stephen King’s IT, Earnest Rides Again, Hamlet and Voyage of the Unicorn. In addition to Roberts and Winton, the show’s cast includes well-known local actor Skye Brandon as George Tesman, Kate Herriot as Hedda Gabler, Kevin Kruchkywich as Ejlert Lovborg, Jane Redlyon as Berte and Anna Seibel as Thea Elvsted. The creative team includes set designer David Roberts, costume designer Bonnie Deakin, lighting designer Ted Roberts, composer/sound designer Gilles Zolty, stage manager Laura Kennedy, assistant stage manager Melanie Rogowski and apprentice stage manager Laura Andreas. Russell Roberts said the Persephone Theatre production of Hedda Gabler will be “quite moving in various ways.” The title character is a “troubled soul” that many people will be able to relate to, he said. “She’s a bit of a loner, an outsider, and so she’s trying to fit in, and yet she’s never comfortable,” Roberts said. While the acting will be strong, the audience will also be impressed with the set, which is “quite gorgeous,” he added. “The audience will be enthralled.” Hedda Gabbler runs from Sept. 17 to Oct. 5. Tickets are $23 to $38, and are available by calling the Persephone Theatre box office at 306-384-7727 or by going online to www.persephonetheatre.org.

‘MIRACLE MOLECULE’ SUPERCHARGES CIRCULATION, PROMISING BETTER BLOOD FLOW, BLOOD PRESSURE AND INCREASED MENTAL CLARITY & STAMINA! 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)!

OVER 40 LOSING CRUCIAL RESERVES

N-O is a natural substance produced by the body that has amazing effects on health and circulation.The American Heart Association published one of many studies showing that many people over 40 don’t produce enough N-O. Infact, your body produces less than half of what it did at 20.

NOBEL PRIZE WINNING DISCOVERY

Three researchers received the prestigious Nobel Prize for this discovery. One of the winners says, “There may be no disease process where this miracle molecule does not have a protective role”.

eptember, sometimes more so than January, feels like a good time of the year to start anew. The beginning of a new school year, whether you’re a high school student, a university student or an education professional, is the perfect time to experiment with your beauty routine and kick things up a notch. Consider it an early New Year’s resolution. Our team of beauty experts has created complete beauty looks for high school students, as shown by Aneurin, university and college-aged students, as shown by Adrianna, and teachers and professional women, as shown by Debra. Jerilyn Mongeau and Melissa Wyant-Taylor are co-owners of Le Lash Lash & Makeup Boutique. Both are alumna of Vancouver’s Blanche Macdonald Centre and have Fashion Editor experience in creating makeup looks ranging from daytime to fashion to special effects. They met working for makeup giant MAC Cosmetics, and spent years freelancing together. After their children were born, they opened Le Lash Lash & Makeup Boutique, bringing luxury to the women of Saskatoon. They, along with their staff, are globally certified Extreme Lashes lash extension stylists. Zennovia, a hairstylist at Salon Twist, has designed easy-to-re-create hairstyles to complete the looks for our models. Zennovia is a certified journeyperson stylist and has completed extensive Vidal Sassoon training. Our beauty experts created a look for Aneurin that’s perfect for a high school student. Jerilyn says that “most high school students don’t spend a lot of time on makeup, nor do they need to – especially for school.” Teenagers tend to prefer “lots of lashes and a lot of lip gloss,” said Jerilyn. She kept Aneurin’s makeup simple by focusing on her brows, lashes and lips. Jerilyn defined Aneurin’s eyes by sweeping a “sheer peachy colour on her lid for a quick dusting of colour; it’s got a little shimmer in it to help wake up the eyes.” Aneurin’s brows were defined with the universal brow pencil from Billion Dollar Brows, a cosmetic line solely dedicated to eyebrows, carried at Le Lash. Jerilyn loaded up Aneurin’s lashes with mascara and finished her look with a sweep of peach blush and a swipe of peach gloss. “Peaches, corals and orange tones have really been on trend the whole summer,” said Jerilyn. “Corals are going to stay on trend; they’ll just be richer for fall,” added Melissa. Zennovia swept Aneurin’s naturally curly hair into a preppy ballerina bun. She started by pulling Aneurin’s hair up into a high ponytail and backcombed it. “If you have finer hair, it helps. It’s an illusion; it makes your hair look bigger,” Zennovia said. She also sectioned out a small piece of hair, braided it and wrapped it around the bottom of the bun for a unique touch. While Aneurin’s high school-appropriate look was soft and beautiful, Adrianna’s look is perfect for a university student looking to go from campus to cocktails. Melissa created for Adrianna a “softer smokey eye that isn’t too overdone for school, but she is done up enough to go out.” The key for Adrianna’s look is that with two or three products thrown in her purse, she can easily transition her look from day to night. Melissa suggests adding a slightly darker shade of shadow to the crease of the eyelid and as a liner on the lower lashes to make the eyes pop with a smokey look. The evening look update can even be done in the bathroom at school. Adrianna’s look started with a neutral lipstick for day, and then Melissa added “a little bit of a gloss with a red in it to give her a little bit of punch for that evening look.” Zennovia stresses to her clients that you shouldn’t try too hard when trying to create a hairstyle. She used a sea-salt spray in Adrianna’s hair to create a beachy, wavy look. For a little added style, Zennovia “pinned back the side using braids and twists. It’s pretty easy. It’s out of your face. Even if you have a couple bobby pins in your purse, just put a braid in and pin it up. You don’t have to work too hard.” If your high school and university years are behind you, it’s still important to update your makeup look. You can still make a beauty New Year’s resolution in September, whether you’re a teacher or not. Jerilyn evened out Debra’s skin tone with foundation and concealer, being mindful of placement. “If you put too much foundation on it can move around and crease easily, so I focused a bit more on evening out

Beautiful looks

for women of all ages

Makeup: Jerilyn Mongeau and Melissa Wyant-Taylor, co-owners of Le Lash Lash & Makeup Boutique Hairstylist: Zennovia, Salon Twist SHE Models: Aneurin Sheasby, Adrianna Remlinger, Debra Holland Photographer: Andrew Boryski Clothing: Models’ own Coordinator: Erin Gray

Special thanks to Le Lash for allowing us to use their beautiful boutique as the setting of the photos. the areas on her cheeks. I put on a bit of foundation and concealed under the eye area.” Debra’s eyes were defined by plum shadows. Jerilyn has some tips for creating a beautiful look with eye shadow. “One thing I recommend for ladies that are in Debra’s age range: rather than using a liner to line her eyes, use a powder shadow. It’s softer and it’s going to keep the eye looking a little bit more open. It’s not quite so dark and hard. So that’s what I did to line her under eye.” Jerilyn kept in the same colour family using a pink-plum lipstick and blush to finish Debra’s look. Debra’s hair was kept simple by smoothing out her naturally curly hair with soft waves that Zennovia created with a flat iron. She swept Debra’s bangs to the side, blending them into the waves. Jerilyn and Melissa raved about the lines they carry at Le Lash, including Elis Faas, an official sponsor of Saskatchewan Fashion Week, known for its stunning visuals, awardwinning concealers and foundations; and the eponymous line created by famed makeup artist Kevin Aucoin.

“Our lines have a lot of lip glosses, so there are tons of really light neutral colours for high school students to use,” Melissa said. “But there are also beautiful deep tones for the more mature woman who wants a bit more colour. The Kevin (Aucoin) glosses wear a really long time. They’re a little more sheer, but they stay on and they’re not sticky.” Any makeup savvy girl knows a sticky gloss is a kiss off; no one likes hair and dust stuck on their lips. Le Lash also carries other luxurious beauty products, such as Velour Lashes, a cruelty-free, 100-per-cent authentic mink lash that are Beyonce’s favourite. The women at Le Lash offer makeup parties in their licensed boutique, so you and your girlfriends can have a glass of wine with a side of makeup. If re-creating these back-to-school looks is more daunting than your calculus homework, Le Lash also offers makeup lessons. The lesson is fully customized to each student and can be as hands on or as informational as required. Plus, half of the cost of the lesson is redeemable in product. If only regular school lessons could be so fun!

Mother, daughter open Grandma Lee’s restaurant Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ood cooking runs in the Thiessen family. Years ago, Tina Thiessen learned to cook from her mother, Anna Unruh, on a farm near Osler. Tina’s daughter, Melissa, has now made it three generations in the kitchen. Tina and Melissa opened a Grandma Lee’s restaurant on the northeast corner of the Tiger Automotive building on Circle Drive earlier this year. “My mother was a great cook,” Tina said. “She cooked for the nine of us. She managed to make food out of very little. She passed on the cooking down to me. I’ve been in a restaurant for the last 24 years.” Tina is a first-time business owner. Melissa worked in the food industry for 10 years before joining her mother as a business partner. The third partner in the venture is George Reddekopp, president of Grandwest Enterprises Inc. and owner of Tiger Automotive. “We heard about George putting a restaurant in here,” Tina said. “I had great interest in it right away. I contacted George, and then asked Melissa if she would like to be in business with me.” Melissa said having a Grandma Lee’s was Reddekopp’s idea. “A cousin of his used to own a Grandma Lee’s,” Melissa said. “He wanted a light restaurant place, not a fast food greasy place – something healthy.” Tina likes the concept. “Many years ago, I thought if I ever owned a restaurant I would want one

where people come up to the counter and they order food. And they can come and sit down, and you bring them the food as well. When this opened up, I thought Grandma Lee’s is perfect.” Despite it being a franchise, Tina said there is a lot of flexibility with the menu. With a large number of Tiger Automotive and Grandwest employees being Mennonite, she said it is nice to be able to serve items that appeal to them. The restaurant has a serving window into the Tiger store. Hot meals are available daily. Popular ones are kielke homemade pasta on Tuesdays and perogies on Fridays. There are five soups on the menu, as well as chili. “We do a lot of our own hot meals,” Tina said. “It is a good idea to have hot meals; this way, we don’t have just soup and sandwiches. We have a delicious breakfast sandwich or breakfast wraps. We’re planning, in the very near future, to do a full breakfast — scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns and bacon or ham.” Tina also enjoys making desserts. “I love doing pies. There is basically a homemade dessert of some kind every day. We are doing a lot of crisps — apple crisps, rhubarb crisps and saskatoon berry crisp. It’s a summer theme with a nice big scoop of ice cream on top.” The two have created a sweet chili chicken sandwich. A representative from Grandma Lee’s was at the store and asked how it was going over with cus-

Tina Thiessen and her daughter, Melissa, opened Grandma Lee’s in the Tiger Automotive building (Photo by Steve Gibb) tomers. The answer was simple. “So well that he has asked us for the recipe,” Melissa said. Melissa said they take suggestions from customers. “We will make it generally, within reason,” she said with a laugh. “Somebody will say, ‘Man, you should do a turkey dinner.’ We will make a turkey dinner – the full-on meal. We’ve done it a couple of times already. Hot lunches are very popular and very important.” The restaurant does catering and would

like to open its doors to private functions. Mother and daughter are enjoying working together. The two have worked at the same place previously. “People are always sceptical: ‘Should you go into business with your family?’ And I’m like, ‘My family is who I’m the most comfortable with,’ ” Melissa said. Mom agrees. “I absolutely love it.” Grandma Lee’s is open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Strip old lacquer finish and clean the surface, then re-apply a new coat of lacquer. When using the lacquer technique,

make sure the surface remains dust free. Hardware stores carry lacquer spray finish (you can also use lacquer in a can and apply it with cotton balls).
