Three Farmers, one more award From left to right, Natasha Vandenhurk, Elysia Vandenhurk, Dan Vandenhurk, Ron Emde and Colin Rosengren (Photo Supplied)

Dragon’s Den appearance advances company’s growth

N

atasha Vandenhurk does not seem to be fazed by much. Along with her partners, she has founded a company, appeared on CBC-TV’s Dragon’s Den, launched several products and doubled and tripled sales over the last two years.

Yet the CEO of Three Farmers was somewhat amazed when the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce announced that her company was the winner of this year’s ABEX, or achievement in business excellence, environment award.

“I was actually very surprised. I was not expecting that,” she said in a recent interview. “Obviously, that is one of the pillars of our brand, is our sustainable agriculture.

“It was not one of the categories we (were) focused on. We thought we were more geared to the young entrepreneur side of things. The other companies we were up against . . . their entire company is based on the environment and being environmentally friendly, whereas that’s just one facet of who we are.”

Vandenhurk and her sister Elysia, COO of Three Farmers and a Red Seal chef, are the front-end management of Three Farmers. The farmers in the company name are the sisters’ father, Dan, and his neighbours Ron Emde and Colin Rosengren. Three Farmers’ first and flagship product is camelina oil, which is unique for its omega-3 content and stability.

The Vandenhurk sisters achieved more than 15 minutes of fame when they appeared on Dragon’s Den two years ago, accepting an offer from Arlene Dickinson. While the deal ultimately did not close — Three Farmers decided it wasn’t willing to part with that much of the company — the exposure that resulted from the TV appearance was significant. Almost as important, says Vandenhurk, was the due diligence experience, which “leapfrogged” the company from the hopes and dreams phase to being focused on financials. The Vandenhurks will appear in an update episode on Nov. 26.

“Obviously that national exposure does

wonders for your brand,” said Vandenhurk.

“We had worked hard; we did a lot of planning around that episode. We initially auditioned in 2010 and we actually made the cut. We had a tape date, but we phoned them and we cancelled because we just knew we weren’t ready.

“We spent the next year adding flavours, so we had our original and our two flavours, and built our store listing across the country.

Elysia and I just banged on doors from Ontario west. We gained about 150 retailers, so we weren’t just in 10 retailers; we were in 150 and had room to grow.

“When we aired we were in the midst of partnering with a couple of distributors, so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.”

At the time, Three Farmers was operating out of Vandenhurk’s Saskatoon home, which was dominated by boxes of product that soon took over the garage. The company has since moved into the same building as InfraReady Foods.

“We spend the majority of 2013 riding that wave, getting our product into as many stores as possible, and building really strong relationships with our distribu-

tors and retailers.

“With our camelina oil it has always been a struggle, the education component of it. We were first to market with it in Canada, so it’s been a product that requires a ton of education, and that requires a very large marketing budget, something that we do not have.”

The ABEX award was a great opportunity for Vandenhurk to expand on the education file.

“I mentioned in my acceptance speech . . . that there’s a definite lack of understanding out there as to what sustainable agriculture actually is. It’s a huge problem – it’s a growing problem, because food is something that affects all of us each and every day of our lives. The people who are driving education behind agriculture seem to be retailers and distributors. They’re not on the front lines of growing. It should be the farmers driving that conversation and driving that education.

“That’s not what we’re seeing. There is a growing disconnect between farming and urban centres and consumers. It’s creating large problems out there.

We collect used eyeglasses!

I would have gone straight to jail I

am the poster child for impaired driving. And I didn’t have a drink.

Please let me explain.

Last week I was outfitted at Merlin Ford Lincoln with weights, goggles and headphones that simulated a night of heavy boozing. I was put through what would be basic roadside tests.

“That was pretty much a good fail,” RCMP Const. Elmer Russell said after I attempted two of the tests. “That would be an awesome fail as far as our standards are concerned. You couldn’t focus; you couldn’t Editor walk. You didn’t get more than two steps away. As far as intoxication level, you would be quite impaired.”

And all I had to drink before the test was a glass of orange juice.

My first task was weaving my way through four pylons on the showroom floor.

“You hit three out of four pylons, so you couldn’t focus on where the pylons were. You couldn’t see where to go to avoid them. . . . And with the lack of mobility with your limbs and your motor control, you kept pushing the pylons along and not noticing you were hitting the pylons. This equates to the same situation where a person gets into a car accident intoxicated behind the wheel and doesn’t know they caused the accident.”

The second task was to walk in a straight line.

I couldn’t put my left foot in front of my right. I was literally stuck in place. I was teetering. I would have been cuffed and taken straight to jail. And rightfully so. It’s an inexact science, but my

Application For Liquor Permit

alcohol level likely was in the .20 to .30 ballpark. I woke up with one heck of a hangover the next morning.

“We get a lot in the same state you were in with that gear on. And sometimes it’s even worse.”

Sadly Const. Russell was talking about real life. I can make light of my experience, but Const. Russell patrols our highways, trying to eradicate as many drunk drivers as he can.

“It is a staggering fact that probably one out of every 25 cars on the road today does have a full-blown impaired driver behind the wheel. Studies have shown one in 12 cars on a regularly travelled highway may have a driver between .04 and .08. The numbers are out there, and people don’t realize to what extent. The ultimate goal we try to push is if you are going to drink, don’t drive.”

How many times do we have to hear that before we listen?

Const. Russell was impressed with the Ford technology used for the test.

“This is fantastic. It is a typical portrayal of exactly what we see out there sometimes.”

Collin Anderson, general sales manager of Merlin Ford Lincoln, said Ford partnered with a scientific team in Germany to develop what they call the impairment suit.

“Merlin Ford Lincoln was asked to

be a member of this by having the suit make a stop at our dealership and we were more than happy to be involved.

The slogan Ford is travelling across North America with the suit sums it up: ‘Feel how you should never feel when you are behind the wheel.’ ” While I was at the dealership, a number of employees also took the test.

None failed as miserably as I did, but certainly none should have been driving.

With four sets of goggles, I am wondering if I got the super drunk person ones.

With holiday season approaching, Const. Russell said there will be a noticeable increase in enforcement.

“It’s time to start tightening it down as far as the enforcement aspect is concerned. We are going to do more enforcement projects. There will be increased patrols. There will be focused patrols. There will be inter-agency cooperation with Saskatoon Police Service and even transport compliance, where we go out and we set up check stops where we check people for drunk driving.”

He said arresting drunk drivers isn’t just seasonal.

“Our focus year-round on the highways now is impaired driving. The ultimate goal, at the end of the day, is to save lives.”

Amen.

oel Frey’s journey with Crohn’s disease began more than a decade ago.

At the time, he was a seemingly healthy 21-year-old studying engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. Then he began experiencing symptoms such as weight loss, pain and bleeding.

A colonoscopy exam revealed that Frey had Crohn’s disease, which, along with ulcerative colitis, is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes symptoms such as abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, fever, anemia and fatigue.

“I got sick really fast, and also my family history kind of pointed at this is what’s going on,” said Frey, who has relatives with inflammatory bowel disease.

“I struggled probably for a solid year before I had any kind of remission.”

Frey tried numerous medications to alleviate his symptoms, but he eventually “ran out of options.” In 2007, he became so ill that he required emergency surgery to remove some of his bowel. However, he couldn’t immediately get the surgery, and instead spent two weeks in the hospital on painkillers and steroids with a feeding tube in his chest.

His weight dipped to a dangerous 140 pounds. Today he weighs about 230.

“I didn’t find out until after — of course they told my parents this; they didn’t tell me — was that they were waiting to do the surgery to fatten me up and get the inflammation down because they didn’t think I’d survive the surgery I needed,” he said.

But Frey did survive, and he is now a healthy 33-year-old engineer with a doctorate degree. While Frey’s recovery was slow, today he feels healthy. He has also been medication-free since 2010.

“It’s been relatively quiet,” he said of his disease.

“There’s the odd flare up — little things that don’t even qualify. There might be a week where I have some stomach issues. I try to eat a gluten-free diet.”

While Frey is doing “really well” now, he looks back at his earlier experience with Crohn’s disease as a scary time.

“It changes the way you look at almost everything when you go through that level of being in the hospital for over a month and finding out, when you get out, they weren’t entirely sure you were ever leaving,” he said.

After his diagnosis, Frey started to connect with other people whose lives had been touched by inflammatory bowel disease.

Man honoured for raising awareness of Crohn’s, colitis He became active in the Saskatoon chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, a patient organization with dozens of volunteer chapters located throughout the country. It is also the nation’s largest nongovernmental funder of Crohn’s and colitis research.

Over the years, Frey, who is currently the Saskatoon chapter’s volunteer coordinator, has dedicated a lot of time and energy to raising awareness of inflammatory bowel disease. For example, he was instrumental in starting the chapter’s Newly Diagnosed education nights in 2006, during which patients can learn more about their condition and meet others facing similar struggles.

“That was something we actually won an award for here, because we were the

Frey’s hard word has not gone unnoticed by others. On Nov. 8, he was honoured during a national Crohn’s and Colitis Canada event in Toronto, where he was named the 2014 recipient of the Finkelstein Award. The award is presented annually to a person “who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of inflammatory bowel disease,” according to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.

Environmental award means a lot to company

(Continued from page 1) “To get the environmental award, it meant that much more to us that we’re getting our message across. We’re a company that believes in sustainable agriculture; we’re doing things a little bit differently in terms of growing, and people are recognizing that. So that’s awesome.”

NEW PRODUCT, MORE GROWTH Three Farmers has recently added to its repertoire, building on the camelina oil product, which comes in original, roasted onion and basil, and roasted garlic and chili.

In August, the company’s roasted chickpea snacks hit the market. Three Farmers has five flavours formulated, but thus far have launched two — barbecue, and balsamic and cracked pepper — due to limited production capacity. The next flavour to launch, likely in March, will be sea salt and lime. There is also a maple flavour for corporate gift sets.

“That’s our goal in the next month is to ramp up production, so that we can bring that home here to Saskatoon. Right now we’re doing it in Winnipeg,” said Vandenhurk. “(Producing in Saskatoon) saves kilometres in transit and we’re a Saskatchewan-based company, so we want to do as much work here as we can.”

Vandenhurk says 2014 has been a year of discovery for the company, including launching a new website and an expanded brand identity. The brand has four pillars: value-added agriculture, natural and sustainable products, healthy and wholesome foods, and traceable growing.

“All of the products that we launch have to be able to meet those four criteria.”

The company has since grown to include three to five full-time staff, an outside marketing team and 20 casual representatives across the county for demonstrations and trade shows. Sales tripled in the year after Dragon’s Den, then doubled, and will grow about 30 per cent this year.

Three Farmers’ camelina oils can now be found in 900 stores. In Saskatchewan, they are stocked in specialty shops like SaskMade, Dad’s, Nutter’s, independent grocery stores and Co-op locations.

Three Farmers was among several Saskatoon-based winners at the ABEX awards, including M.D. Ambulance, which was inducted into the Saskatchewan Chamber’s Hall of Fame. The ABEX awards were announced Nov. 1 in Regina.

(Continued from page 3) After medication failed to manage his condition, McCormick received surgery in 2012, which he calls a “life saver.” Since then, he has been feeling better physically. However, as a social work student at the University of Regina, he is also keenly aware that patients with life-long conditions like inflammatory bowel disease can also experience mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, as a result of their diagnosis. He wants to offer support to other patients who may be looking for more information or who may be going through a difficult time, and he co-hosts the Saskatoon chapter’s Newly Diagnosed education nights as a result.

“It creates a new normal, getting a diagnosis. That’s always what I find,” said McCormick.

“I really believe that education is like a form of empowerment. You become your own best expert.

You need to know your body, how it acts and what it needs.”

“Information’s probably the most powerful thing you can have when it comes to this,” said Frey.

Both Frey and McCormick hope a cure for inflammatory bowel disease can be found soon, and they’re helping the Saskatoon chapter raise funds for necessary research. Statistics show one in every 150 Canadians is living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, which is one of the highest rates of inflammatory bowel disease in the world. According to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, the number of new cases of Crohn’s disease in Canadian children has nearly doubled since 1995. Males and females are equally affected by inflammatory bowel disease. While people can be diagnosed at any age, many are diagnosed by the age of 30.

“If you talk to people, everybody knows somebody who has it,” said Frey.

“So it’s out there, but people don’t talk about it that much.”

November is Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Month, and Crohn’s and Colitis Canada has launched its national “Make It Stop. For Life.” awareness campaign. The national campaign can be seen and heard across numerous platforms, including television, radio and print.

Page 6 - SASKATOONEXPRESS - November 10-16, 2014 Joelle Tomlinson for the Saskatoon Express It started out as a search for an office space. Now, it’s turned into something so much more.

Mike Payne and Taylor Pfeifer are what you might call dreamers. The owners of the marketing company Fancy see possibilities in the mundane and make something happen. There is no better example of this than their latest project, Wallstreet Common.

Tired of using coffee shops as meeting places, the two young entrepreneurs were looking for a creative space to call home.

“It’s nice to bring your client somewhere, to have that physical space and familiar spot where you can develop and collaborate,” said Payne. “We really love the concept of co-working, collaborating with your business neighbours and enhancing that feeling of collectiveness.”

The duo stumbled across an old building and, as habit would have it, started to dream. With burnt exposed brick, stunning original hardwood and planked ceilings, the space oozes creativity and possibility.

Before it went up for lease, it was decided the building was going to be their new home. Its name? Wallstreet Common.

“It all fell into place,” said Pfeifer.

“We partnered with Thomas Andres at C4 Construction, who was one of our original clients. We drew inspiration from so many co-working spaces around the world. There are so many more than I had imagined.”

The building, which is still under construction, has a tentative opening date in December. C4 Construction is hard at work ensuring that the design meets every possible need of the business community.

Wallstreet Common features custombuilt office spaces, open concept areas for co-workers, lounges, meeting rooms, a kitchen and even bike storage, among other physical features. It is conveniently located on Wall Street, across from the new police station, in the heart of Saskatoon’s warehouse district.

For $250 a month, co-workers get access to a variety of features, including 24-7 building access, on-site food, an office manager, on-site parking access and creative services from Fancy. Along with coworking, offices will be available to rent.

Offices range in size and are located both downstairs and upstairs in the expansive area, and some businesses have already signed up to be the first tenants.

“It’s not an original idea, but I think of us as innovators. We are taking something that exists and could be improved in some aspects and that’s what drives us. There’s always room for improvement, and we’ll keep doing it in the best way possible,” said Pfeifer.

JW11909.K10 James

Wallstreet Common a dream coming true From left to right: Mike Payne, Thomas Andres and Taylor Pfeifer at Wallstreet Common (Photos by Joelle Tomlinson) Saskatoon’s growing population and booming economy are driving reasons behind the necessity of spaces like Wallstreet Common. Hundreds of businesses have popped up in the past few years, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship and the small business model.

“This is going to be a buzzing place,” said Payne. “The type of people we want to attract are the forward-thinkers, the creators, the doers. We love the guys over at Two Twenty (on 20th Street West), and in some ways we are similar, and in others we differ. Ideas are going to happen just on the staircase. I really just can’t wait for it to be open.”

With the hopes of someday becoming a franchise, Pfeifer believes Saskatoon is the perfect place to open Wallstreet Common’s first venture.

“The business community here is so amazing and supportive of one another.

I think things like this are the missing link. From day one, if you need a service, you likely won’t need to leave the building.”

Wallstreet Common isn’t all work and no play. The first event at the refurbished warehouse is Nov. 30 from 4 p.m. to 9

p.m. Called the Black Market Market, patrons can come and go, take a look at the workspace and pick up locally made goods from artisans just in time for Christmas. In the future, Pfeifer, Payne and Andres hope that the building can be a centre of cultural events, drawing people together for all types of gatherings.

“Sometimes in the business world, people can feel very isolated,” said Payne.

“We’re hoping to take that mentality and

embrace each other and help one another grow.

“There’s this quote I love: ‘We’re too young to realize that certain things are impossible. Which is why we do them anyway.’ ” For more information on Wallstreet Common, or to book a tour, visit its website at wallstreetcommon.com or visit the Facebook page under Wallstreet Common.

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.

So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www.ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Magic City Chorus on Highway to Heaven

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express he Magic City Chorus is rolling out a funny, touching, rollicking bus tour that will take you halfway to heaven.

Your guides are Shirley, Goodness and Mercy, not to mention Patience. If you can’t rely on these angels for spiritual transportation, who can you trust?

“The overall tone is light, fun, entertaining — and a little silly,” said Nancy Kanuka, a.k.a. Goodness, in an earthly interview. “I’m a big advocate for silly.”

Highway to Heaven, an original work written by chorus members Adele Kerr (Patience, the angel in charge) and Yvette Jaspar, has a similar format to Mamma Mia! The local musical is punctuated with numbers that are part of the Magic City Chorus’ repertoire, just as Mamma Mia! was dotted with ABBA tunes.

For example, the 40-member group will perform Hey Soul Sister, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, With A Little Help From My Friends and Orange Coloured Sky, among other popular tunes. Watch for the theme from Fame as a showstopper.

The songs fit into the story of lifelong friends heading to Deadwood for a weekend of gambling at the casino. Before they know it, they are singing in the choir at All Souls Community Church. “What the holy halo is happening?” asks the promotional material for the show.

Act Two spoofs the telethon charity JW11967.K10 model, with Barb McGrath (instead of James Telemiracle’s Bob McGrath), managing

the fun. Norma Wallace, a veteran of the popular musical Nunsense, plays her.

All of this sprung from the unstoppable minds of Kerr and Jaspar, tasked with creating the Magic City Chorus’ biannual major production. (In the intervening years, the chorus presents a Christmas show.)

“We’re both insomniacs. We were able to write all night,” said Kerr.

“A lot of work got done in the middle of night,” agreed Jaspar.

Director Cheryl Pearce was seeking ideas for the production, and Jaspar presented her idea of angels trying to finish off the important business of life.

“So I approached Adele and, between us, the plot thickened.”

Jaspar said it doesn’t matter what faith, or lack thereof, a person adheres to. Halfway to Heaven has a universal message, presented in a lighthearted way. It’s a “light fairy tale about life,” and enjoying it too, said Jaspar.

The Magic City Chorus, a four-part harmony group that is part of Sweet Adelines International, will have guest performers joining them on stage from Spirit Flyers, who participate in the telethon spoof in the second act. Spirit Flyers is a group of people with cognitive impairments who will do two dance numbers at the show.

“We always try to partner with someone in the community as a guest in our shows,” said Kerr.

Kerr sings lead, or melody. Women’s barbershop groups, which are a cappella (without accompaniment), are organized just as the male counterparts are: lead,

All three women have been involved with the chorus for many years: 20 for Jaspar and Kanuka, and 14 for Kerr. They are all fully engaged and having fun, donating quite a lot of their time.

“There’s a joke that it’s only one night a week,” said Kanuka.

It’s true that rehearsals are every Tuesday, but many members find they spend many more hours singing and contributing. They often appear at seniors’ homes and charitable events, for instance, as

The women come from all walks of life, including nurses, doctors, businesspeople, teachers and many others, said Kerr.

It’s an amateur group, added Jaspar, “but we put our best food forward.”

and still managed to garner about 48 per cent of the vote. The public seemed ripe for a change, but there were a lot of folks who voted for Atch in the last election resulting from unfounded allegations about Wolfe and based on the “better the devil you know” theme.

Wolfe has already stated he will not be giving it another try. Former councillor Lenore Swystun, who has already twice tried to defeat Atch, reportedly is still toying with the idea of a third attempt.

But both these candidates were left with massive campaign expenses to pay and may be gun shy about going into debt for another futile effort, knowing full well

new politicians don’t get voted in, old politicians get voted out.

Will the electors of Saskatoon turf any of the incumbents? Some political analysts/pundits think there may be lingering effects from the transit lockout and the resulting loss of millions of dollars and that this council has a lot to account for. I think the public has a very short memory and, as long as our economy is even lukewarm and voter apathy persists, the 2016 election outcome is a foregone conclusion.

Needless to say, we do get the governments we deserve. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Pledge goal exceeded for Sask. Change Day

H

undreds of people have pledged to take one small step to make the health system better, as part of a new initiative called Saskatchewan Change Day that was celebrated throughout the province Nov. 6.

The campaign, organized by the province’s Health Quality Council, received more than 1,300 pledges, surpassing its 1,000-pledge target. Pledges posted on the Change Day website, at www.skchangeday.com, ranged from committing to make someone smile each day to lying in an ambulance stretcher to better understand the patient experience.

Saskatchewan Change Day was modelled after the highly successful NHS Change Day in England, which was first held in 2013. Since then, the social movement has grown and spread to other countries, including Sweden and Australia.

Saskatchewan Change Day was officially launched in May at the Health Care Quality Summit in Saskatoon. Since then, pledges have continued to be made. Here are some examples: l I pledge to help someone find their way if I see that they are lost in our facility.

JW11924.K10 James

l I pledge to introduce myself with my name and title to all my clients and not use health care language that is difficult for them to understand. l I pledge to work with all my co-workers across the continuum of care to place patient/client/resident safety first by thinking infection control practices do make a difference. l I pledge to reflect on three things I am most grateful for at the end of each day. l I pledge to step away from my desk and take a walk every day.

A survey will soon be conducted about Saskatchewan Change Day. HQC will consider the survey results, along with other forms of feedback, in determining whether another Change Day will be held in 2015.

(HQC is an independent agency that measures and reports on the quality of care in Saskatchewan, promotes improvement and engages its partners in building a better, safer health system for patients.)

Association of Fundraising Professionals celebrates our giving spirit

Jennifer Pederson, president of Saskatoon Chapter of Association of Fundraising Professionals (Photo supplied) he Association of Fundraising Professionals was formed 50 years ago and is an international organization dedicated to advancing fundraising. It has 30,000 members in 197 chapters throughout the world. The Saskatoon AFP chapter was formed in 1999 and has 70 members.

Saskatoon Chapter President Jennifer Pederson says that the AFP “works to advance fundraising and philanthropy through advocacy, research, education and by offering certificationJames programs to those who JW11943.K10

T

wish to become designated as professional fundraisers.”

Pederson adds that “by having a professional fundraiser, an organization can really work to strengthen the programming it offers as it ties itself more closely to the community. Professional fundraisers bring a broad range of skills to any campaign – they manage volunteers, structure the departments and decide which type of fundraiser will best work for the organization.”

In order to accomplish this, Pederson continues, fundraisers “spend a lot of time fostering strong relationships. They must have strong internal relationships with the groups they work for to understand what is needed from that end. They work with financial planners and lawyers who then advise their clients about what kinds of planned giving options are available.

They match up donors with needs and provide follow up reports to the donors.”

The follow-up, or stewardship of the gift, is especially important, Pederson says, because “we need to not only be accountable for what we have done with a gift, but we also need to remember to not take any gift for granted. The kinds of campaigns we run – whether it be a capital, bricks and mortar campaign, a scholarship fund

Pederson says that the amount of money raised in Saskatoon and area over the past number of years is “mindboggling. Even if you just look at the last decade, I think people would be stunned if the numbers were out there. Just look at how many capital campaigns are happening right now in the city. Look at the yearly United Way fundraising drive, and at Telemiracle.” She goes on to say that JW11884.K10 James

“Saskatoon would not be the city it is today if not for the generosity of individual and corporate donors. As a community, with our fundraising dollars, we support three hospitals, a university with very diverse needs, the SPCA, the Meewasin Valley Authority, mental health programs, sporting programs and Persephone Theatre. We are building a new art gallery, and when there is a disaster in any part of the world, our spur of the moment giving is extremely generous.” This generosity, she adds, “is a very Saskatchewan thing.

The philanthropic spirit in this province is something to be proud of, and something that, as professional fundraisers, we are very humbled by.”

Join Royal University Hospital Foundation in congratulating Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighters Association Burn Fund for their nomination as an Honoured Supporter at the 14th Annual National Philanthropy Day Celebration As the SPFFA Burn Fund is celebrating its 40th year it is only fitting that we recognize their eight affiliates and 700 members for their continued contribution to philanthropy and volunteerism in Saskatoon and across Saskatchewan. Through fundraising initiatives they have donated close to $1 million through the Royal University Hospital Foundation to provide advanced healthcare for burn patients including equipment, treatment, care, and rehabilitation and support to families of burn victims. They support continuing education programs for nurses and doctors who treat and provide care for burn patients.

Saskatoon student passionate about caring for others

N

adya Keenan has been giving back since the beginning. Born with a Segmental Hemangioma, a benign facial tumor, Nadya has been in and out of hospitals in Saskatchewan as well as out of province for surgeries and multiple types of therapies since she was an infant. However, even at that young age, Keenan was helping to raise awareness of her condition by appearing as a face of the condition at various public events and fundraisers.

Now 14 years old, Keenan is a grade ten student at Holy Cross High School, where she participates in track and cross country, as well as serving on the Students’ Representative Council. Keenan has continued to give back and to work towards bettering the lives of children. When she was old enough to talk, she began taking part in various radiothons across the city raising money for the Children’s Wish Foundation

and the Children’s’ Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, as well as speaking at gala fundraisers and taking part in cheque presentations. In 2010, she was the Champion Child for the CHF, which included even more public speaking. Of speaking in front of large crowds, the 14 year old says, “I was quite nervous the first few times,” but adds that “I’ve done it enough that I now am used to people and their reactions. I especially like doing the radiothons. Those are really fun.” On a personal level, Keenan holds birthday parties where she asks for donations to important causes instead of gifts. And for WE Day a few years ago, she helped her school to collect enough pennies to build eight wells in Africa.

Keenan hopes to be a paediatrician in the future, and hopes to volunteer with the children and families at Ronald McDonald House, a place where she and her family

has spent much time over the years.

Her friends, Keenan says, tell her that she is “an inspiration. A lot of them have now started holding birthday parties where they ask for donations instead of gifts.”

Keenan is gratified to see her example spreading, and is especially pleased to “see what the money I have helped to raise is going.” In particular, she thinks the new Children’s’ Hospital of Saskatchewan is very exciting. “I am really proud to have helped to raise money for this hospital, because my family and I had to spend so much time away from home when I was receiving treatments when I was younger.

Janet and Art Postle lifelong philanthropists

J

anet and Art Postle were both raised to embrace the idea of giving back. According to Janet, “our parents taught us that, as a community, you work together, you share together, and together, you ensure that the community is strong.” When Art retired as the CEO of the Saskatchewan Co-Operative Association in 2010, he found himself with even more time to devote to organizations that were important to him.

Through the years, the Postles have given their time and energy to the Saskatoon Symphony, the Saskatoon Housing Authority, the Rotary Club, the Friendship Inn, the Food Bank, St. Paul’s Hospital and the Meewasin Valley Authority, to name a few. “We like organizations that reach everyone, ones where everyone can benefit,” Art says.

Along the way, Janet adds, “we have met so many great individuals and worked with so many great organizations and we have learned just how important each and every donation of time or resources is.” Art further explains that “often, it is the major gifts or donations that are given the recognition, but every gift of money and every donation of time or energy matters. They are a part of the whole. Without them, the goal is not achieved.

Everything matters. Everyone should be recognized.”

But for the Postles, it is not the recognition that is most gratifying. Rather, they enjoy seeing the fruits of their efforts enjoyed by their fellow Saska-

toon residents. “We worked on campaigns with the MVA that helped to expand the trail system and that built River Landing. To see people, young families, out there on the trail or enjoying time by the river, that is really special. To tour St. Paul’s and to see what they have achieved with the dollars and time we helped to raise is a real feeling of accomplishment.” Janet agrees, pointing to a paraphrased quote based on a speech Winston Churchill gave in 1908: “you Janet and Art Postle are recognized for their make a living by what you get, contribution to the Meewasin Matters and you make a life by what you Campaign (Photo courtesy MVA) give.’ This is really the motto there as well, and to think to yourself ‘I was a we live our life by. It is what our parents taught us, and some- part of making this happen.’”

JW11958.K10 James thing we hope we are passing on to our kids and grandchildren.”

Art, too, is glad to give back to “a city from whom we have received a great deal.

Donors have helped Saskatoon City Hospital become a leading centre for ambulatory care. We can do even more to enrich health care at Saskatoon City Hospital with equipment, resources and technology through the Foundation’s Equip for Excellence Campaign. Donations will enhance every department, optimize patient recoveries and reduce hospital stays.

This year we ask giving hearts to help purchase $3 million in needed equipment – like a state-of-the-art mammography unit that can detect the smallest of tumours, leading to increased detection, earlier diagnoses and more effective treatment for patients with breast health concerns.

Author provides Bird’s Eye View of Second World War

T

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

hat Elinor Florence would write a novel about the Second World War is not much of a stretch.

Florence’s family has deep roots in the two world wars. She has relatives that served in both. During the Second World War, her mother lived near British Commonwealth Air Training Program (BCATP) airports in the North Battleford area. When her father returned from the war, he purchased farm land that included a training base — barracks and all.

The barracks were split into two. One half was moved to North Battleford, where it became a church. The other half became home for the Florences. It is still inhabited on the family farm near North Battleford.

“My dad was in the RCAF. My mom grew up in Battleford, so she was a firsthand observer of the home front when North Battleford became a British Commonwealth Air Training Program training base. So she had a lot of stories to tell about the guys that came over from England.”

As Florence moved through her career, her mother’s stories about BCATP were never too far from her mind.

Florence obtained an English degree from the University of Saskatchewan and became the first reporter at her hometown paper – the Battefords Advertiser Post – before going to Carleton University in Ottawa, where she obtained a degree in journalism. During her career, she worked at the Western Producer, Red Deer Advocate, Winnipeg Sun, Vancouver Province and Reader’s Digest. She owned and operated a weekly paper in Invermere, B.C. “I feel disappointed that the British Commonwealth Air Training Program isn’t better remembered and acknowledged in the many communities across Canada – and particularly on the Prairies – that it affected,” she said in an interview at

JW11990.K10 James

DEC 2nD

McNally Robinson.

In 2010 she pulled out the floppy disks on which her original writing about the BCATP was contained. She did a rewrite in 2011 and sent the manuscript to a publisher in 2012. Now, in the fall of 2014, the book – Bird’s Eye View – is on the shelves. Florence was in Saskatoon last week as part of her book tour.

The central character is a fictional woman named Rose Jolliffe.

“She is a naïve, idealistic farm girl from Saskatchewan who is working as a newspaper reporter in her hometown. Ring any bells?” Florence said with a laugh.

“When war breaks out, her town becomes a British Commonwealth Air Training base, and all the guys arrive to train.

She is fired by patriotism and wants to go overseas, too. She goes over to England, joins the air force and becomes a photo interpreter.”

Photo interpreters were among the unheralded heroes of the war. These are the people that could take photos from reconnaissance planes and then provide RCAF bombers with the precise locations of German installations. The Germans tried to disguise the sites, but with their trained eyes interpreters could often outsmart them.

Florence researched photo interpretation extensively as she developed Rose’s character.

“Rose is very hard-working, dedicated.

She also has a sort of a sixth sense about interpretation, which is something they were looking for. The best interpreters had the ability to look at a photograph and see a hot item – as they called it – just jump out. So that is how I finagled Rose into becoming a photo interpreter. It is unlikely they would take a Canadian farm girl because they were drawing their interpreters from the ranks of Oxford and Cambridge, for the most part, and they were quite well educated.”

Elinor Florence tells story of unsung war heroes in her new book (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Florence said women were good in that role.

“When the war started they had 40 interpreters. When the war ended they had more than 600 interpreters and more than half of them were women. Two of those female interpreters, both British, wrote books about their experiences, and those were the two books I drew on most heavily.”

There was also a photograph that had an impact on Florence. She can’t remember where or when she saw it.

“It was the photograph of a woman in an air force uniform bent over a stereoscope.”

A stereoscope is a piece of technology that essentially gave the interpreter a 3D view when two photos shot seconds apart were put together.

“I did become intrigued by that and started studying up on it. I found there isn’t very much written about it. Most of the books that I read were about the guys who flew the aircraft that took the aerial photographs, but not so much about the interpreters. And I am not really sure why that is, because they played a really vital role.”

The book starts the day Canada declares

war, and ends the month after the war ends.

“Canada hasn’t done a really good job of talking about its wartime history,” Florence said. “Even with the British Commonwealth Air Training Program, people ask me all the time, ‘What is that?’ They have never heard of it.

“Also, I wanted to write about a Canadian woman in uniform because their light has been in the shadows for a long time now. They weren’t even allowed to join up until 1941. And for that four-year period from 1941 to ’45, 50,000 Canadian women joined up and served in uniform. That is a heck of a lot and it was hard researching them. They were lucky if they got six paragraphs in the history book.”

For Florence, writing a book was special.

“My husband said, ‘Why is it so important to have a book because you have touched so many people with your newspaper and magazine stories throughout your life?’ There is just something about a book.”
