she could fit in a week off before the busy fall really kicked in. It didn’t quite work out that way. A client required a proposal in the middle of that week, and the deadline could not be moved. Determined to honour her commitment to her family and to the client, Harper caught a flight from San Diego on Wednesday night, flew through Los Angeles and Toronto to Regina, and presented to the client Thursday afternoon. Back at the airport within hours, she flew back to California via Winnipeg and Minneapolis, giving her two more days of family time.

That’s what it takes to grow, maintain and nurture your own business. That’s what it takes to make the W100 list. “I was surprised, initially,” said Harper of being selected. “It shouldn’t be that surprising. We have a good company; we are competing against multinational firms. We have good staff.” Harper and her partner, Larry Goodfellow, started the market research company in 2002. It emerged from their first venture, Innovation Consulting Group, which provided secondary research but outsourced primary data collection. (Continued on page 4)

he popularity of the Missed Connections column has doubled. In the last month, favourable comments have gone from one to two readers. Don’t encourage me, people. I am making a promise to myself to do no more than one of these a month. I can hardly wait for November. As always, the info for the column is cut and pasted from ads posted in the Missed Connections category on Kijiji. They were written by Saskatoon people and appear here unedited. The comments are mine. ***** “To the extremely cute waitress. I think we could have a real good connection, if you know what I mean ;) I came in looking for something that wasn’t provided by hotel/restraunt you work at. You were short, blonde, amazing eyes, and a hot, hot voice, among many other great qualities on first glance. Im guessing you won’t ever see this, but in the off chance you do... We can take this ‘connection’ wherever you would like for it too! XOXO.” Comment: First of all, they are called servers, not waitresses. Flight attendant, not stewardess. Woman, not lady. I remember when I started in this business, an editor at The StarPhoenix told me there is no such thing as a lady. What? My first thought was, “Man, I’d like to see your wife.” I’m guessing the extremely cute server won’t see this, but many other extremely cute servers will. With your smooth writing and eye for the ladies, I’m thinking you are going to be in little black dress heaven. ***** “I miss you Brittany. We met on

but this time the editors found favour with her story. She is one of two Saskatchewan writers in its Christmas in Canada offering. She calls it “a reflection on my musical roots and takes place on my honeymoon, where I encountered a beautiful young singer whose performance changed my life forever.” The last paragraph of her story reads: “We can’t really understand until we look back through the eyes of the future, how one snapshot in time can impact our life so profoundly. For me, on the last weekend before Christmas the year I got married, I not only received the beautiful gift of a life-long partner, but the seeds of a dream that, to this day, is still growing.” Organized Obstacles is produced in North Carolina and contains stories about people who turned their stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Meadows is the only Canadian author in this first edition. She says her story is

about the challenges she has encountered in music ministry. What has impressed her is that “this independent publisher has attracted writers who have made the New York Times and Amazon bestselling lists. It’s a miracle that I have been included with this amazing group. I am blessed to have become friends with some of the other authors, speakers and artists who have written for this edition.” Her Red & White CD came just days before Christmas in 2013, barely in time to capture the market. It contains four original songs and some classic carols. The CD gained her a second nomination for the Words Awards as a follow-up to a nomination for the title track of her debut CD, Turn the Page. Meadows comes from Saskatchewan parentage. Her father, John Elliott, who is now deceased, was a gifted writer who came from Maple Creek. (Continued on page 4)

Harper credits staff, clients for success

(Continued from page 1) hen technology took them in a new direction. “We actually developed a technology. It took about a year to develop,” said Harper. “It basically collected data online. We were one of the first firms to use dual approaches — collecting data by telephone and online.” The technology allowed them to understand how responses to online and phone questions differed, and it melded all responses into one database when that ability was rare. The system also allowed for real-time reporting to the client. Six years later, Harper and Goodfellow again noticed a need in the market. “In 2008, we made the big decision to purchase another system. Part of the reason was our panel. We started our panel, SaskWatch, and this software had a panel management system to it. That was a big thing. . . . That was huge.” Indeed, it was pivotal to the growth of the company. “We just saw a huge need. Any other populated area — Ontario, Quebec, B.C., Alberta — you could buy (survey) sample. “(Sample vendors) could never guarantee how many (survey) completes you would get. We would say, ‘We need 400,’ and they would say, ‘We can guarantee 300.’ “They may have 100,000 Canadians on their panels, but not a lot from Saskatchewan. If they are running a national study, they don’t need a lot from Saskatchewan because proportionally we’re a pretty small percentage of the whole country.” Insightrix decided to build its own panel, which today comprises 15,000 people. “It’s a nice number for us. It doesn’t overuse our panel given the number of projects we have, but still everyone has an opportunity to participate. We’ve also aligned ourselves with a lot of charities in the province.” As the panelists complete their surveys, they gain points depending on the time commitment. When they reach $10 worth of points, they can cash out, but they can also donate their points to a list of approximately 40 charities. “Every month, we end up donating a bunch of money to charity, which is kind of cool.” EQUAL PARTNERS, GREAT STAFF Harper and Goodfellow, the chief financial officer, are equal partners in the operation, which was placed in the $2-million to $4.9-million revenue cat-

egory in the W100 listing. “I don’t know how common that is. I’m guessing it’s not. I think it’s worked out very well; it forces us to really talk through an issue instead of relying on somebody’s 0.1 per cent (extra ownership stake.)” When they started the business, they financed everything out of their own pockets. “Those were lean years,” said Harper. Among the lessons learned is that “overnight success comes in eight years. It takes a long time to build up (a company.) It’s going to be an uphill challenge. Work-life balance is probably not going to be there.” They now employ 30 to 35 professional staff, as well as interviewers who staff the call centre, adding another 20 to 30 fulltime equivalent positions. In addition, the company has a second office in Australia, started by employee Avril Hogan, and with three full-time employees and 15 call centre seats. In Saskatoon, the staff includes four programmers that focus on R&D, building software such as an SMS (short message system) that allows people to participate in surveys via mobile devices. Insightrix also develops its own online communities. “Online community software is like a customer advisory panel for clients. . . . It’s like a SaskWatch specifically for that client.” Staying focused, providing the right technology and being nimble has helped Insightrix succeed in a changing environment, said Harper. When it opened, the local market was quiet enough. After the boom, everything changed. Saskatchewan was receiving a lot more attention, and some of the big national and multinational market research firms started to come in. Harper and Goodfellow wondered if they could compete. The answer was yes. They also found that they have arrived in the market research community, recently hosting the Market Research Intelligence Association in Saskatoon, which attracted 215 delegates. The conference was awarded in 2010, well before Harper’s recent W100 ranking. For Harper, the company’s success really comes down to two things: clients and staff. “We’ve built really strong relationships. One client took a big risk on us over the years. We’ve continued to grow with them. I think the first contract was 2002. We know so much about them. . . . We feel attached to them. “The staff are incredible. This is a tough business; it’s very competitive. It comes down to our staff.”

Sally Meadows has a story included in the new Chicken Soup of The Soul book (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)

Meadows working on children’s books

(Continued from page 3) Her mother, Joan, is from Regina and competed as a singer well into her 70s. Her father was an officer in the armed forces, where many different postings “helped me learn resilience and adaptability.” In her high school days, Meadows lived in Ottawa, then earned chemistry and geology majors at Carleton University and later a master’s degree in geology at the University of Waterloo. She met her husband, Jeff, at Waterloo, and they moved to Saskatoon in 1993. They are parents of two sons, Nicholas, 24, a graduate student in mathematics, and Cooper, 22, an engineering student. Meadows was formerly employed by the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Engineering. She was also the co-founder of myWISEmentor, a mentorship program for young women interested in science and engineering. “I worked with children and youth for about 14 years. And I told them often that they can do anything they want, a message especially important for young women who were considering pursuing careers in male-dominated professions.” One of her enjoyable experiences was “bringing together a film crew to produce a documentary, The Pisima Project, about students building an energy-efficient home in Cumberland House.” Meadows left the university in 2011,

JW11901.J13 James

worked at an engineering firm and settled into her full-time pursuit of the arts in 2013. All of which steers her into a busy pre-Christmas season. There is music at Scott’s Parable Christian Stores on Oct. 18, Indigo’s on Nov. 21, Scott’s again on Dec. 6 and Coffee’s On Emporium on Dec. 12. Book signings are at Coffee’s On Emporium on Nov. 7, Market Mall Coles on Nov. 8, Indigo’s on Nov. 14, Midtown Coles on Nov. 15, McNallyRobinson on Nov. 22 and Lawson Heights Coles on Nov. 29. There are more projects in the works. She is deep in the process of writing and self-publishing a children’s book, focusing on a family dealing with the challenges of a differently-abled child. She is working with illustrators for another three books, all aimed at a market for children between six and nine years old. Her music continues to flourish. She’s gone from early piano lessons to playing guitar, and from being a church musician to a recording artist. She will be performing original music at one of the largest gospel festivals in northern Michigan next summer. “Success in life requires preparation and perseverance,” said Meadows. “I strongly encourage everyone to pursue their dreams, no matter what your age — young or old and everything in between.”

Gallery’s 50th anniversary celebration of Mendel’s vision

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

his week will mark a major milestone in the Mendel Art Gallery’s history: its 50th anniversary. It was back on Oct. 16, 1964, that the civic gallery officially opened its doors on the picturesque banks of the South Saskatchewan River. The gallery was named after its founder, Frederick (Fred) Salomon Mendel, who initiated the building of the public institution to celebrate the success of his business, Intercontinental Packers. A financial donation that was made by Mendel was matched by the Province of Saskatchewan, and the Mendel Art Gallery became a reality. After the gallery opened, Fred Mendel made another contribution to the gallery, donating 13 paintings from his private collection in 1965. Today, those paintings are part of the Mendel Art Gallery’s permanent collection, which now includes more than 7,000 works. It is from that collection that the works currently on display as part of the Mendel’s latest exhibition were drawn. The new exhibition, entitled Modern Visions: the Mendel Art Gallery 50th Anniversary Exhibition, celebrates the gallery’s history in Saskatoon. About 150 works are featured in the show, which is organized into six themes throughout the gallery space. “The Mendel Art Gallery has been an instigator, champion, advocate, steward and provocateur at various points in its exJW11856.J13 James

citing history,” stated the gallery’s magazine publication, Folio. “Throughout the exhibition key works have been selected to reveal these sites of engagement, pointing to the gallery’s role as a central force in the city, the province and the country, and its stewardship of visual practices over its 50 years.” Gregory Burke, executive director and CEO, said the 50th anniversary comes at “an interesting time” in the Mendel Art Gallery’s history, given the transition that is underway to the new Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan at River Landing. Burke said “we need to acknowledge and should celebrate” what the Mendel has meant and contributed to life in Saskatoon, as well as its impact on the Canadian art scene. “It’s an opportunity to recognize the vision of the founding donor, Fred Mendel, and his family, and of the mayor during the development period, Sid Buckwold, right through all of the people who have contributed to make the Mendel where it has led to today. That means all of the staff, the volunteers, the City of Saskatoon, the donors, the board members, the artists and, not least, the community that embraced it.” Burke said “a successful institution like the Mendel is an accumulation of lots of energy and passion on behalf of many, many people.” He added “that spirit and legacy” is the “driving force” behind the establishment of the new Remai Modern. “The Remai Modern would not be

The sod turning in 1963 for the Mendel Art Gallery (Photo Supplied) happening without such an extraordinary legacy,” he said. The Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan, slated to open in 2016, will be located in the city’s south downtown area. When completed, the new art gallery will face Second Avenue to the east and the South Saskatchewan River to the south. Plans are in the works to honour the Mendel family at the new Remai Modern. The Modern Visions exhibition at the Mendel Art Gallery demonstrates how the Mendel family’s vision from 50 years ago continues to have a significant impact on present-day cultural life in Saskatoon. Selections from the Mendel family’s 1965 gift of 13 paintings — which included works from the acclaimed Group of Seven — are on display, as well as other paintings, sculpture, photography and video works spanning the decades since the gallery opened its doors. “The collection is a tangible manifestation of a history. Many of the works have been in shows; many of the works are loved,” said Burke.

The pieces on display at the Mendel Art Gallery are only a small fraction of the holdings in the permanent collection, which Burke called “significant.” “One of the key points I would make is that while we receive a small amount of money each year through our annual budget — which is matched by the Canada Council to make purchases — the vast majority of the works are donated. What we could buy with our acquisition fund would only be a fraction of what’s in the collection,” he said. “What it reflects is the vision and generosity of donors as well, because it is certainly a collection of increasing significance,” Burke added. Modern Visions, sponsored by Information Services Corporation and Kramer Ltd., runs until Jan. 4, 2015. For more information on the Mendel Art Gallery’s 50th anniversary, visit mendel.ca/50. People are also invited to share their most memorable experience at the gallery on the 50th anniversary website. Photos and tweets can be shared using the hashtag #mendel50.

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day

EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance.

Corbett helps Concert Band for its 50th anniversary

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express heldon Corbett, the stylish Saskatoon saxophonist, is going to reach back for a jazz classic, Harlem Nocturne, to help the Saskatoon Concert Band celebrate its 50th anniversary on Oct. 18. The band was originated and christened the No. 23 Wing Air Force Band by John Schoen in 1949, and renamed the Saskatoon Concert Band in 1964. Its current conductor, George Charpentier, and Nick Todd, the conductor of the Auxiliary Band, will bring more than 80 musicians together at Third Avenue United Church, now known as Orr Centre. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. “There aren’t many choices in venues when it comes to bringing that many players on one stage at the same time,” said Charpentier. “I’ve been in touch with John Orr, the new owner of the property, and he was happy to accommodate us for this concert as well our spring concert in March.” There are good reasons why Corbett wants to share in the celebration. “I was looking back at an old program the other day and was reminded that I played Harlem Nocturne with the Saskatoon Lions Band when I was in Grade 12 in 1974,” said Corbett. It is a jazz classic, written by Earle Hagen in 1939, and has been recorded by many orchestras. The most notable rendition may have come from the Duke Ellington orchestra. “Harlem Nocturne is a soulful jazz piece and a haunting, beautiful tune,” said Corbett. “It just seemed to fit with the collection of favourites which the band has done over the years.” Corbett joined the band 38 years ago. “As a young musician, I often visited the music stores and, at one of them, John Schoen recruited me to play. I can laugh about it today, but my wife, Margi, and I were part of the band even before we were

Saskatoon saxophonist Sheldon Corbett (Photo Supplied) married,” said Corbett. His wife is still with the band. He likes the opportunities that the Concert Band and the Auxiliary Band provide “for those who played in high school bands, then went out into the workforce, but still wanted to stay in touch with their music.” Corbett is an artist who has been able to stick to his musical guns. One of the most pleasant experiences was when he and Craig Salkeld were recruited to write the original music for the 1989 Jeux Canada Summer Games, which were held in Saskatoon. Another happy experience came in 2012, when Corbett, a seasoned player in many of the Saskatchewan jazz festivals, was honoured with the festival’s Special Recognition Award. Other programming highlights on Oct. 18 will include Leonard Bernstein’s Overture to Candide, selections from My Fair Lady and Fiddler on the Roof, and some Canadian content from Howard Cable and Donald Coakley.

Nashville: Music is king, but there’s plenty more NASHVILLE — It’s a city that hums and vibrates like a well-tuned Gibson guitar. Its crowded sidewalks, neon-lit honky-tonk bars and cafes pulsate with the electric energy of a city on the move. On this warm, late-summer evening, the good-natured tangle of tourists and locals blend together as they stroll past the lineups outside the most popular of the legendary drinking venues. Lying under the watchful shadow of the 33-storey AT&T building, known far and wide as the Batman Building because of its striking batman mask-like twin towers, is the heart of Music Row. Here you’ll also find a changing urban landscape, including Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock Café, now comfortable neighbours with the old familiar honky tonks, where venerated taverns such as the ever-popular Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, Robert’s Western Wear and Legends Corner still pack the house every night with live country music and dancing. Across town, away from glittering rhinestones, mightily coiffured hairstyles and elongated limos, the famous and intimate Bluebird Cafe is where you’ll find many true country hearts listening to traditional country music. The Bluebird is a place to linger over a couple of cold beers and bask JW11815.J13 James

more than “country’’ on its visitor itinerary. Top-rated sports venues, a new $500-million convention centre and a much-expanded Country Music Hall of Fame are part of an eclectic downtown landscape that also incorporates every kind of dining experience to match your taste and your wallet. Talking about food, every visitor here should try dinner at Puckett’s Grocery and Restaurant, where funky mismatched tables and chairs add to the charm of this local dining icon, and good old home-style cooking will fire up your evening’s music agenda. Another “must’’ dining experience can be found at Mason’s, the elegant “Southern Brasserie’’ at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. This popular restaurant presents historic southern dishes with a unique twist infused by its young, talented executive chef. There’s a great advantage about taking in the Nashville foodie paradise. All the extra calories you might be tempted to take in can become null and void by stepping out onto Music City’s many dance floors. For more information on Nashville, visit www.visitmusiccity.com.

Jerry Brown signing a law to ban plastic bags: “He assured Raider fans, however, that he won’t sign one banning paper bags.” l Torben Rolfsen, on the NFL announcing Katy Perry as the Super Bowl halftime act: “That could have kind of a retro flavour: many fans will be rooting for both audio problems and a wardrobe malfunction.” l Hough, on Perry performing at the Super Bowl: “Well, for many men that’s another pair of reasons to watch.” l When I saw Paul (Whiskers) Romanuk doing the Flames-Canucks game, I thought the Spengler Cup had broken out. l Rolfsen, on it being down to Almaty, Kazakhstan and Beijing to host the 2022

2014/2015 Saskatoon Blades

BREAST CANCER JERSEY NIGHT

Winter Olympics: “Kazakhstan is billing itself as the world’s largest landlocked country. Who is chairing their bid committee, Sacha Baron Cohen?” l Gosh, I wish Mark Messier was the trivago man. l Why is George Stroumboulopoulos being sold on Sportsnet telecasts as a hip new face? It was pointed out on Twitter the other night that he is 42 years old. Isn’t it about time for an adult haircut? l Rolfsen, on Chinese TV banning stars who take drugs or visit prostitutes: “So much for American sports leagues’ growth in Asia.” l From Hough: “The San Jose Sharks have officially started defending their title as the Best Regular Season Team in the NHL.” l Haven’t we grown up enough to not go all gaga when Saskatchewan gets a shout out on something like Monday Night Football. “Oh, Chris Berman is talking about us. Oh, we must be so cool. Oh, let’s tweet.” l From Littlejohn: “After his latest playoff meltdowns, do we call baseball’s best pitcher Clay-Rod?” l I had a dream that Brett Favre signed with the Riders. Almost as quickly, he was released for sexting nude photos to Rod Black. l Littlejohn, after Tony Bennett flubbed the singing of the national anthem at a Giants game: “Apparently he was under the influence of Lady Gaga.” l Rolfsen, on Chris Pronger joining the NHL’s Department of Player Safety: “Joining him as player rep on the Fair Play Committee will be Brad Marchand.”

Mental health in workplace subject at Woods Memorial Lecture Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express eople with mental illnesses can be successful in the workplace. That is the message speaker Mary Ann Baynton will deliver at the third annual Bryan Woods Memorial Lecture later this month. She said it makes good business sense to support employees with mental-health issues. That isn’t always the case at workplaces, she said. “A lot of employers think there are only two responses. One is to be really tough and say, ‘Do the job or get out.’ The other is to not expect anything of an employee because you are trying to be compassionate. Both of these responses can actually exacerbate mental illness. What we really want is that middle ground where the employer says, ‘What can I do to help you stay successful at work while you are dealing with this?’ “That is the piece employers are not familiar with. And that is the piece I am going to help them try to understand at the lecture.” Baynton is the author of three books on workplace issues, and is a co-author of another. She is also is principal of Mary Ann Baynton and Associates, a firm in Waterdown, Ont., that provides consulting services to governments, organizations and unions that wish to improve or address issues related to mental health in the workplace. “My background has been doing interventions when an employee is returning to work or staying at work with a mental illness. I’ve seen many employers, managers, HR (human resources) professionals, union reps who have the best of intentions and want to do the right thing. They are really reaching out to say, ‘What can I do; how can I help?’ I think those good inten-

tions have always existed.” Numbers vary on the number of Canadians with mental-health problems. Some experts say one in five, while others go as high as 50 per cent when you factor in those who haven’t been diagnosed. Baynton says mental-health issues touch everyone. “I think 100 per cent of us are going to manage mental-health issues. In the same way we have a full range of physical health, maybe they won’t be so severe as to require a diagnosis or medical intervention. They still require us to manage life in a way to reduce the suffering, to reduce the ill effects of poor mental health.” She cited people with depression and anxiety as among those that have proved to be productive in the workforce. “Depression and anxiety are both conditions that, to a large extent, can be managed. They don’t have to become a disability in most cases. If we can manage them in the workplace, people can stay very productive. Ultimately, staying productive and contributing and belonging to a supportive work environment is better for our mental health than staying at home in bed.” She said it is good business to support employees with mental-health problems. “The reason employers want to do this is if you can maximize the potential of every employee, why wouldn’t you do that? It’s really about helping someone be successful in the workplace. This, for an employer, is usually their objective anyways.” She said the business case has been made in terms of bottom line, productivity, performance, recruitment, retention and risk management. “Organizations know these are the right things to do, but aren’t sure what the right

way to do it is. That is my job and the job of many people right now — to say you can do this without a huge budget. You can do it without interfering with the already high demands of your workforce. You can do this without significant areas of expertise. There are so many resources that are now free. There is so much available to you that any organization can start to do this in an evidence-informed, practical way. “The only thing you must have is the commitment to do it. When I do this lecture, I am going to give people in that audience a running start with literally no additional budget.” The Bryan Woods Memorial Lecture will be held on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. at McClure United Church (4025 Taylor St. East). There is no charge to attend. To make an online donation to the Bryan Woods Memorial Scholarship, visit www. ruhf.org. Donations can also be made at the lecture or by mailing a cheque to Royal University Hospital Foundation, 103 Hospital Dr., Saskatoon, S7N 0W8.

Mary Ann Baynton will be the speaker at the third annual Bryan Woods Memorial Lecture (Photo Supplied) Woods, a clinician, teacher and leader in the field of social work, was the director and professional leader of social work for the Saskatoon Health Region when he died of cancer in 2010.

The pumpkin crop wasn’t wonderful in our area this year. There wasn’t enough growing time. However, when fall comes, pumpkin is a flavour we all crave. Even if we have to resort to using canned pumpkin, we start looking for good pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin is a storehouse of many anti-oxidant vitamins. It is especially a great source of vitamin A, which is a powerful natural anti-oxidant and is required by the body for maintaining the integrity of skin and mucus membranes. It is also an essential vitamin for good sight. Research studies suggest that natural foods rich in vitamin A help a body protect against lung and oral cavity cancers. Enjoy this recipe and check our website for our great Christmas free-product offer at Breastfriends.ca.

Hi Lianne, I have been researching the importance of being physically attracted to someone. When you find someone who fits a lot of the criteria you want as a partner, and yet there is no spark, my head is asking my heart “what the heck is wrong with you?” After reading some information from Psychology Today and a few other sites, I am feeling a bit better. Physical attractiveness is part of all factors that create a relationship. And it is not a standard attractiveness. It is what I find attractive. Some of it is a certain look and Matchmaker SS50628.J13 James some of it is personality. I also know that it is usually there from the beginning, though it does

I think that is what a lot of people do this for; they aren’t thinking they are going to generate huge sums of money off one trade show, but they will see more sales after the fact.” Trades and Treasures is supporting the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre. A percentage of space rentals will go to the food bank. “That is what Vanessa chose as her charity of choice. There are so many good things in the city, but that is the one she wanted to do.” Price said busy moms operate many of the home-based businesses in Saskatoon. “Sometimes they just need a bit of a boost to get their name and their product out there to get the business going. We are hoping this will be successful.” Trades and Treasure will be held at the Cosmopolitan Seniors Centre (614 11th Street, off Broadway Avenue) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free and there will be door prizes and gift certificates.

Prairie Hospice Society seeking volunteers

rairie Hospice Society is a nonprofit community organization committed to enhancing the quality of life for people facing advancing illness, death and bereavement by providing non-medical care and support to those individuals, wherever they are living. The society’s mission is to ensure access to quality end-of-life support in Saskatoon as a ‘Hospice Without Walls,’ matching trained volunteers with clients in their homes. The goal is to ensure terminally ill individuals live fully and joyfully until they pass. While Prairie Hospice has been active in the community for less than two years, it has helped dozens of clients and their families; however, it could be assisting hundreds more. In order to do so, more volunteers are needed to assist with the delivery of its programming. The Saskatoon Express sat down with Jennifer Keane and Eileen Klassen, volunteer coordinators for the Prairie Hospice Society, to get a better idea of what potential volunteers need to know

if they’re considering donating their time to this organization. Saskatoon Express: Who is eligible to volunteer with the Prairie Hospice Society? Prairie Hospice: Adults with a sincere interest in hospice care, and who have excellent communication skills. SE: What sorts of things would volunteering with the Prairie Hospice entail for someone who is interested in being involved? PH: Volunteers provide companionship in a variety of ways, such as running errands, shopping, watching movies, listening to music, going for drives, going for coffee or to the library and, importantly, providing respite for the families of terminally ill clients. SE: What are the challenges an individual might face when volunteering with Prairie Hospice, and what are the rewards they might experience? PH: Facing the reality of illness and inevitability of death are both challenging and rewarding, while developing close relationships and being a com-

panion to someone until their death is a privilege. SE: What kind of training is available for volunteers, and are there any specific background requirements for them? PH: Volunteers must complete the required 30-hour training and embody the qualities mentioned earlier, such as sincere compassion and superior communication skills. SE: Is there anything else you want people to know if they’re considering pursuing a volunteer role with the society? PH: Volunteers will inevitably be faced with their own issues of loss and grief, and almost all volunteer relationships end with a death and loss. Volunteers need to be aware of this challenge. There is, however, great joy in the connection with the client, family and with other volunteers. Prairie Hospice is looking for volunteers. If you’re interested in learning more, please contact Prairie Hospice at 306-249-5554, or visit prairiehospice.org.
