Mother knows best Music ticket for DuWors to travel the world

iolinist Kerry DuWors has reached some rather amazing musical milestones. She was twice a member of Canada’s National Youth Orchestra, chosen as the concertmaster for a tour of Europe when she was 17 and the second-youngest member in the 70-piece orchestra. Then, as a member of the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, she was able to play at Carnegie Hall. Just four years ago, she played on the same stage as Yo-Yo Ma, arguably the world’s finest cello player, at the Caramoor Festival in Katonah, N.Y. In January 2015, she toured Japan with pianist Futaba Niekawa, with whom she has People formed a concert pairing called duo526. As someone who has appeared in Europe at last half a dozen times, she laughs that her career has turned out somewhat like her mother, Maureen, of Saskatoon, predicted. “My mother gave me every chance to enjoy activities,” said DuWors, “but she told me that music would allow me to travel around the world. It has.” There’s another thrill just around the corner for DuWors. She will be performing Affairs of the Heart, a 1997 violin concerto written by Marjan Mozetich, a Canadian composer, with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra on May 23 at TCU Place. When the concerto was first introduced as a CBC Vancouver Orchestra CD release, the

network’s telephone switchboards lit up like never before. “It is a great experience to be a soloist with the Saskatoon Symphony. It is a homecoming, and what an opportunity to play a concerto which has never been featured in Saskatchewan before,” said DuWors, 34, who is now an associate professor of violin and chamber music at Brandon University. “In the early planning stages with Mark Turner, the symphony general manager, we were looking at a different option. I loved Affairs of the Heart, which is about 23 minutes long, and demanding because I am continuously playing. I think I was one of the few people who knew about the piece. Mark jumped at the idea, because it gave the orchestra a chance to celebrate a great Canadian composition.” Her memories of growing up in Saskatoon are fond. “Saskatoon is where I was Violinist Kerry DuWors will perform with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra introduced to the violin, when I on May 23 (Photo Supplied) was about two and a half years old.

Bruce Richet Contributions to SREDA recognized

Bruce Richet stepped down after 20 years of serving on the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority board (Photo by Joanne Paulson)

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express

t’s not every day you get an award named for you. When Bruce Richet stepped down after 20 years of serving on the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) board, the appreciative organization honoured his service by doing exactly that. In late April, SREDA created the Bruce Richet Award for Outstanding Commitment to Regional Economic Development. For his part, Richet is amazed at the recognition. “That was a bit overwhelming,” he said in an interview last week. “It’s not something you ever expect in your life.” The consulting engineer was originally asked to represent the Saskatoon region on the SREDA board. A resident of Dalmeny at the time, where Richet also served as councillor and mayor, his knowledge of municipal engineering made him an obvious choice for SREDA. “I took on a lot of different roles,” he said. “I think I was on every committee.

“I was always the regional representative. My responsibility was always to represent the regional aspirations and desires of the region to the organization.” He eventually moved to Saskatoon, but stayed on in that role until two years ago, when the board chair stepped down — and he stepped in. “It was a good time to transition,” said Richet. Working in economic development “was exciting. The organization was always out front . . . . When (economic opportunities) come into the region, the first people you talk to is SREDA. “It was exciting to be part of the future planning of regional prosperity.” Richet is known for his work ethic. After graduating from the University of Saskatchewan, he plunged into a long engineering career, working 30 years with UMA and then AECON Canada, which merged in 2004. He retired in 2010. That didn’t last long. Today, he is the senior engineer with CIMA+, and runs a 10-person office in the Concentra building on Third Avenue and 25th Street. He was

asked if he would open the CIMA+ office in Saskatoon in 2013, and agreed. “Most of the people here used to work for me, so it was like coming home,” he said. MILESTONES Richet says his passion was the “regional” part of SREDA, because he believes that Saskatoon’s and the region’s fortunes are intricately tied together. “Ten years ago, I’d go hear Mayor Atchison talk about Saskatoon. Now you come (to his speeches) and they’re talking about the Saskatoon region. “I’ve told him that was a big plus for SREDA, which represents the region. “The two are connected. They’re codependent on each other; their success is co-dependent. That (realization) has been a major difference over the 20 years.” He also cites a SREDA economic summit held in 2013 as a stepping stone to creating a regional development plan. The summit brought in experts from the western provinces, the U.S. and the region, and attracted 200 delegates. The summary coming out of that meeting has met up with

(306) 668-4300 the city’s growth plan, as well as the P4G group including Osler, Warman, Martensville and Corman Park. In spring 2016, the regional plan that all these groups and municipalities are working toward should be in place, and be a great step forward. “We were pleased with how that came off.” The region’s economy is stronger, more diversified and more efficient than ever before, said Richet. There is less waste of time, energy and resources, and he’s pleased to see that as well. “I think the entrepreneurial spirit has been enhanced over that 20 years. Of course, it’s part of Saskatchewan’s culture, too.” SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL As with so many busy people, Richet successfully juggled his economic development work with his day job, but he gives a lot of credit to the people around him. CIMA+ has been very supportive of his volunteerism. There are so many breakfasts, lunches and daytime meetings involved in a board directorship, it’s almost impossible to manage without employer support, he said. “You have to have an employer who is there with you, saying this is a good thing for the company and community relations,” he said. “They recognized I was involved in the community, and (said), ‘We need more of our leaders in be involved.’ ” The other big support comes from Linda, his wife. She checks in with Richet regularly, making sure he’s still enjoying his volunteer contributions. He describes her as a moderating influence in his life. “We’re very compatible. We do everything together,” he said, noting they’ve been married nearly 40 years and are very close. “When we go shopping, we hold hands,” he added. They have two sons: Evan, who works for the Alberta provincial government, and Colin, the owner of Revelation Studios in Saskatoon. Apart from spending time with Linda, Richet’s main enjoyment and relaxation is sports. He’s a dyed-in-the-wool Rider fan, and has season’s tickets. When he can get away for longer, he and his sons do “sports weekends.” A trip to Toronto to watch soccer, an away Riders’ game and Blue Jays baseball is coming up this summer. Volunteering, though, has been a serious passion and time commitment for Richet, and he recommends it highly. There’s a great satisfaction in getting things done, and your pride swells when you talk about your community everywhere you go – especially if you’re involved, he said. “I don’t know why more people don’t do this. If you want change, you have to participate. If you want to influence the change, then you better get yourself into an area of leadership.”

Woman credits STARS for saving her live Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express onnie Fortin credits STARS for giving her the chance to hold her fourth son. Fortin needed the air ambulance service after a C-section went wrong in Swift Current. The Elrose woman had three sons and was having her fourth that day. She had problems with her third natural birth, so she chose a C-section for her fourth. “There was a complication during my surgery,” she said at the launch of the 2015 STARS Lottery last week. “I was bleeding to death and the doctor couldn’t stop it, so I needed immediate transport to a specialist for repair. “When STARS came on the scene I was critical; my body was shutting down, the hospital was running out of blood, and the doctor was running out of time. After everything that went wrong that day, STARS arrived and everything started to go right. “During the 40-minute transport, the team managed to get me stable. As soon as I arrived in Regina, I went straight into surgery. After two surgeries and two days in intensive care, I woke up and got to hold my baby for the first time.” Those are the moments for which STARS staff members live and work. The lottery was 97.1 per cent sold out last year, said Rod Gantefoer, the executive vice-president of the STARS Foundation. He is hoping to hit the 100-per-cent mark this year. “This year we are hoping we sell out completely and as early as possible, and that will increase the profit margin that we have.” The lottery homes in Saskatoon and Regina were built by D & S Homes of Saskatoon. “(They) have been with us since the very

We have two incredible homes to offer in this lottery because of the dedication of D & S and their employees and their subcontractors,” Gantefoer said. While the homes are the big-ticket items, the lottery features five vehicles and 12 vacations. There is a sporty boat hitched up to a Ford truck as part of the early bird package. The early bird deadline is July 2, with the draw being made on July 17. The lottery draw and 50/50 draws will be made on Aug. 12, with a cut-off ticket sales date of July 22. The 50/50 draw sold out last year, with the winner getting $700,000. The goal this year is to present a cheque for $800,000 to a lucky person. The money raised will help save lives. Fortin is happy to be one of those. “I would have never survived a twoand-a-half hour trip (from Swift Current to Regina). It’s about time and getting

DuWors credits teachers for her success

(Continued from page 1) he spent her working career as a professor at the University of Saskatchewan biology department. The first violin teachers for DuWors in Saskatoon were Lynda Busch, Philip Kashap and Robert Klose. She took piano lessons from Sheila Shinkewski. “I enjoyed all my teachers. Each took me that extra step. With Robert Klose, a lot of us were going to a bigger repertoire and that meant really intense practice and study. With Sheila, I learned to play the piano, read the scores, play accompaniment, and that helped me become a wellrounded musician.” She received her bachelor of music degree at the University of Victoria and her master’s degree at the University of Toronto.

An early triumph came at the EckhardtGramatte National Music Competition in 2003. That gave her a $5,000 cash prize, a Canada-wide tour with pianist Lydia Wong and a guest soloist role with the Montreal Chamber Orchestra. She was hired on a one-year contract at Brandon University. “It doesn’t feel like 12 years I’ve been in Brandon, but I landed in the right place at the right time. I’ve always been lucky with of the university’s flexibility in allowing me to accept concert dates and balancing them with my teaching roles.” Since 2010, DuWors has been a member of the Knights, a New York-based ensemble that is devoted to expanding the orchestral concept experience with innovative programming and the intimacy of chamber music.

The connection has allowed her to work with Yo-Yo Ma, tour Germany with Jan Vogler and participate in the world premiere of Yotam Haber’s New Ghetto Music with singer-songwriter Christina Courtin. Playing with Yo-Yo Ma, “I had goosebumps and I had to remind myself not to let my jaw drop. What a thrill. I didn’t want to mess up because to get to share a stage with Yo-Yo, there’s nothing better in terms of joy and collaboration.” Her trip with Niekawa to Japan this year was an eye-opener. “The tradition in Japan is that the audiences are absolutely polite and often quiet because they respect musicians. It was a humbling experience. The audiences really embraced our program.

Nature an underused anti-depressant, doctor says Beth Jarrell Saskatoon Express askatoon is about to have a “wild” time. The NatureCity Festival, which will take place from May 23 to May 29, is about to put on a show for the third year in a row. Events will be held across the city, and this year author and speaker Dr. Shimi Kang will be the keynote speaker. “We humans were never meant to be sitting inside at a desk in front of a screen for hours at a time,” Kang said. “For most of human history, we have been outside, walking in nature. There are powerful anti-depressants in nature that we — and young people — aren’t taking advantage of anymore.” Kang says that something as simple as sunlight can make a huge difference in someone’s life, especially in the winter. “Do your best to embrace the climate you’re in. Even Saskatoon has a lot of benefits, like the big prairie sky; it can reduce anxiety compared to a closed space.” The festival will be taking place all across the city, and is designed for families and people of all ages. The festival aims to showcase the importance of nature and getting outside. Kang, who currently serves as the medical director of child and youth mental health in Vancouver, is known for her bestselling book, The Dolphin Way. It came out in 2014, and has since been translated into five languages. Kang hopes to make a change with what she calls POD — play,

others and downtime — that all children need. “I have three young children, and I’m concerned about the world they’re living in,” she said. “The messages of our society are becoming toxic right in front of my eyes. “It’s a statement of the climate children are growing up in. Never before have parents been so involved in their child’s life . . . yet young people have more serious lifestyle conditions, like anxiety, depression, obesity, diabetes and addiction.” After Kang’s speech, Toronto-based Evergreen Foundation program director Cam Collyer will take the stage to talk about sustainability in cities, and how landscapes impact a child’s learning. “I started my career in education, teaching, and I realized that when I took kids on field trips in natural areas, they were really uncomfortable and out of their elements,” said Collyer. Collyer believes that unstructured free play in nature is fundamental for every child’s wellbeing — something that is rapidly disappearing. “We need to think about how kids can actively move themselves in their environments,” he said. “Canada’s not doing well in our physical activity report cards in the health of our kids. Free, active play is dramatically being diminished.” “You can’t just double-down on ballet or baseball. We’re losing critical, active points in a child’s day that are very important for their development. This is a warning sign for us.”

Dr. Shimi Kang will speak at the NatureCity Festival (Photo Supplied) Collyer says creating and connecting with green space that is within the walking distance of a child’s neighbourhood is crucial in turning this trend around. Even Saskatoon sees these issues emerging. “Saskatoon is no different. The issues are becoming stronger in Saskatchewan around the cities as they grow, and as more

When soils are healthy, optimism grows. The United Nations has named 2015 the International Year of Soils. To the farmers who feed our growing world, that’s every year. They understand that soil is one of our most precious resources — and a finite one at that.

So you see, by nourishing the soil, farmers are really nourishing human potential. Potashcorp.com/Nourish

kids grow up in cities,” he said. “I think these are really relevant issues for Saskatchewan at this time.” Kang and Collyer will speak on May 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the Broadway Theatre. Tickets are available for $12 at McNally Robinson, or by email at wildaboutsaskatoon@gmail.com.

Let Ken Achs purchase, develop old police station STARTS

hhh. What a relief to hear someone speak the truth to the City last week. It was like pouring mental Pepto Bismol over my dyspeptic mind. The voice of reason was Ken Achs, long-time property developer and very smart guy. He offered the City $11 million for the old police station and the adjacent parking lot, and was turned down. The City put it on the market 20 months ago for $15.6 million, a minimum bid it has since removed. It may be a prime piece of property, but with vacancy rates jumping to 15 per cent in downtown Saskatoon, there is less hope the property will attract that kind of money. So, the City has two options: consider lower bids, like the one Achs put forth, or wait for the economy to come raging back. (I suppose there are other options, like building a waterslide or a new art gallery, but let us stick to the two for now). Which is better? We could enjoy the benefits of a huge, empty building and parking lot for the next few months or, more likely, years, with potential attenuating ick factors like vermin and vandalism. Or, we could move on Columnist with new construction, jobs and, later, a cool national research health institute as one of the tenants. As Achs points out, the quality of that tenant is a benefit in itself. The City’s land director, Frank Long, has said there is some interest in the property, and that the goal is to get the best deal for the taxpayer. Maybe I’m just entirely out of the loop and the City has a couple of great pending offers; that would be great. And Long is right: the best taxpayer deal is certainly the point. But if there aren’t great pending offers, is it better to wait for a higher price, or to get on with redeveloping downtown? It’s interesting that Achs is willing to take on the risks of such a project at this time. Considering his long history of property development, he must think it’s feasible at $11 million, but less so at $15 million, or so. Four million buys a fair amount of work. I would think he’d be the expert in this case, as in so many others. I don’t think he just wants it “for cheap” – $11M is still a heck of a lot of money. Besides, see how well developing Parcel Y at River Landing has gone over the last 20 years? The City’s expectations are very high, and this growing-but-notyet-enormous-city has its limitations. Just ask Chris Le Fevre, the Victoria developer building The Banks near the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market. Le Fevre is a bit skeptical about the degree of construction the City of Saskatoon can absorb, in part due to its size. “Other things will happen in the fullness of time,” he has said. “I say that, in the fullness of time. There is only so much absorption in your city and in any city. One has to be very, very, very careful not to overestimate how much

THANK YOU Ken Achs take-up there could be.” He was partly discussing residential real estate, but commercial spaces as well: The Banks has living and working areas within it. “I put caution to how much can take place in your city,” he said. At least the City listened to local builders and reduced the number of residential lots going up for sale this year. It was certainly a falling demand and probably some pressure from builders that spurred the reduction, to 545 from more than 2,000. That is a huge reduction, and a necessary one. If City officials would occasionally check the real-estate listings in this town, they would have realized sooner that inventory has soared over the last two years, and now demand is falling. The market is pretty weird. Building permits on the residential side are pulling back (thank goodness), so it’s time the land branch took a breather. Here’s another builder noting that it’s time to scale back. “You can’t keep force-feeding people,” Wally Mah, president of North Ridge Development Corp., told The StarPhoenix. “The builders are full. Their plates are full with inventory.” Exactly right. The builders and property owners are the guys on the ground. They know who’s showing up, and not showing up, to buy homes or rent their commercial spaces. The economy is different now, and we have to respond confidently, but carefully. Faced with a lack of boom in the commodities that fuel our province’s economy, and a bunch of job losses as well, things are naturally slowing down despite some bright spots. It would be helpful if the American economy would get going, too, but it still hasn’t revved its engine to the point where we can grab its bumper — at least, not with both hands. Therefore, if there is not a big, bad second offer, sell the property to Mr. Achs. He’ll know what to do with it. He’ll do something, which is much better than nothing.

Soroptomist International of Saskatoon also supports other local organizations, including the Salvation Army’s Mumford House, Girl Guides of Canada, EGADZ and The Bridge on 20th Street West. In addition, Soroptomist International sponsors the Saskatoon Sexual Assault & Information Centre’s annual Luncheon En Vogue fundraiser. “Basically 100 per cent of our fundraising goes toward local community support,” said Hretsina. It’s the second year for Pyjamas & Pearls, with the inaugural event held in 2014. The event was so successful that the club decided to make it an annual fundraiser. The goal this year is to sell 150 tickets. “We almost had a sold-out crowd last year, so this year we’re anticipating it to be a sell out,” said Hretsina. “It was a very successful fundraiser for us, and it was lots of fun.

responses. There may be those who think I have completely gone over the edge, but I know there are many more who have experienced the loss of a loved one and who will know exactly what I mean. I have respect for those who believe in a higher power — this is what has gotten me through life so far. I am a firm believer in the traditions of my ancestors, and I will share what has been taught to me by countless generations of First Nations elders. When I look at the stars on a clear night, I think of them as little peepholes from heaven. No matter what one may accomplish in life, or not achieve, we are all here for a purpose, and that is to nourish the Earth. When I die, I will be buried so the Earth may nourish from my body. And one day I may provide Mother Earth with enough nourishment to form a single drop of rain or a snowflake. And maybe that single drop will one day fall on someone I once loved, and they will feel the love we once shared.

Maybe they will look at the stars and feel me peeping at them. I sat down on the log, said a prayer in Cree and sang a traditional First Nations song. My grandparents, on both my parents’ sides, were 100 per cent Cree, and they would sing traditional songs. I carry that tradition forward. I wasn’t the only one singing. Others started to join, and the next thing you know there was a harmony. To one who doesn’t know traditional First Nations music, it may all sound the same. However, they are songs without words because the music is coming from the heart. It’s an incredible form of healing. There are so many things I would like to share with my mom if she were still alive. But it’s not too late, because she was there every step of the way. The best Mother’s Day present I could have given her is that I continue to try to live a life of simplicity and try my best to share what little I have. That’s the way she raised me. krnCREE@outlook.com

Saskatchewan Woodworkers’ Guild to host public show-and-tell event Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express oodworking went from hobby to passion for Bob Gander, thanks to a chance conversation with a friend. In the early 1990s, Gander was teaching electrical engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, dabbling in woodworking and making items such as lamps, cribbage boards, walking sticks and letter openers. While attending a Sunday church service, he began talking to an acquaintance named Trent Watts, whose activities as a woodworker included furniture making and turning. “We basically hit it off and realized that we had a common interest in woodworking,” said Gander. “He invited me to the (Saskatchewan Woodworkers’) Guild, and I took him up on the invitation. “I went a couple of times as a guest and realized how supportive it was and just how enthusiastic I was getting when I was there seeing other peoples’ work. I joined up, and very shortly after joining up, I started taking some classes.” Gander discovered a realm of possibilities that could be done with woodworking, including carving figures, and making musical instruments and items such as jewelry boxes and model cars. “Every month, we have show and tell, and the point isn’t to say, ‘I am the greatest carver,’ ” said Gander. “It is to say, ‘This is my latest project, this is what I am doing or I have gotten this far and I have run into difficulty.’ JW15335.E18 James

“Sometimes, guys show up with a hurt finger or something and just remind people to be careful when they are using their bench grinder. It is just a very supportive group.” Gander and a large representation of the woodworkers’ guild are set to hold a public show-and-tell class. Their works will be on display at a show called Wood 15, which runs May 23 to May 31 in The Galleria building at Innovation Place. This will mark the 37th year for the annual show, which will include demonstrations twice daily. The event also features the works of Weldon Gray, who specializes in making medieval musical instruments. Wood 15 will include displays from high school students, who have made items in the past such as skateboards and electric guitars. Besides showing off items, Gander said the annual public show gives woodworkers a chance to reflect on how far they have progressed. Gander has developed a speciality for carving figures out of a wood called Diamond Willow. It is a wood that is deformed into diamond-shaped segments with alternating colours. At the wood show, he has been able to give tips and pick up tips from others. “I prefer an oil finish on my carvings,” said Gander. “Another fellow at the guild used to use a very heavy varnish-like finish on his Diamond Willow. He saw my (work), and he started experimenting with the oil finish. “Even a new person can just, kind of

Bob Gander’s works will be among those featured at Wood 15 (Photo by Darren Steinke) out of ignorance, do something a little different, but then that could influence somebody else.” Gander said he has come a long way in woodworking, noting that some of his early carvings are pencil holders in his woodworking shop, which is located in the basement of his home. The floor of the shop is made out of the same rubberized material that is used in hockey rink dressing rooms, because it can withstand the impact of dropped tools or items. Out of the pieces he has created, Gander is most proud of one of two woodpeckers sitting on a stump branch of a tree. When it comes to creating a piece, the SS50721.E18 James

64-year-old retiree said the most engaging part of the process is deciding what the piece will be. That is usually followed by the joy of seeing the idea become a reality. “Usually, the climax, if you like, for me comes before it is finished,” said Gander. “I love the feel of the wood as it gets down to that polished feeling. “Then I know that it is either successful or not. At that stage, I either really like it as a piece, or I am just finishing it just to get rid of it. Usually, I like them.” Wood 15 runs daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. from May 23 to 30, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 31.

Uros, but it also challenges the traditional way of life. The old ways are definitely disappearing. The population has fallen from thousands to hundreds. Those who are left use the totora for many things: the root is used for a medicine to mask pain; it is used to withstand the intense heat of the noon day sun by cutting the thick white root in half and placing it on the forehead; it is used for food and supplies iodine to prevent goiter; and the flower is used for tea. They also eat seagulls, ducks, flamingoes and ibis — for its eggs and for food — and cormorants are tethered to catch fish. Taquille Island is different and one of the largest islands, measuring 5.5 kilometres long and 1.6 kilometres wide. It is only 35 kilometres east of Puno, which has a population of 2,000. They speak Quechua and only marry Taquille. The village is at 12,959 feet and seems so detached from the rest of the world. Pre-Inca ruins have been found on the island. There are no cars, no hotels and a few tiny stores.

The handcraft tradition is of the highest quality known in Peru or worldwide. Knitting is done exclusively by men, who start at the age of eight. Women make the yarn and do the weaving. Their system runs on the Inca moral code: ama sua, ama llulla, ama ghilla (do not steal, do not lie and do not be lazy). The economy is based on fishing, terraced farming, potato cultivating and tourist-generated income. We ate in a local restaurant near the top of the island and enjoyed fried lake trout. It was delicious and just like the trout we catch in Kingsmere, north of Waskesiu. The Libertador Lago Titicaca is a four-star hotel situated on Isla Esteves overlooking the lake. My room faced the lake so I could watch the tourist boats leave for the islands and return in late afternoon. Llamas roamed the fields around the hotel. I used my binoculars to watch wild guinea pigs playing on the lawn. They are a standard meal in Peruvian homes. I will always have fond memories of my trip to Peru. I learned so much, and the people were friendly, helpful and kind. (Doreen Kerby is a Saskatoon-based freelance writer.)

Hair Loss Grey Hair

Root cause lies inside the body

Why do people experience hair loss and grey hair?

In the study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Kidney Jing and Liver blood are the two most important factors affecting a person’s hair growth and aging. Hair loss and greying are only symptoms of a far more complex internal conflict between the organs inside our body, precisely the kidney and liver. An abundant storage of Kidney Jing and Liver blood in the body are imperative to the aging process and hair growth. However, both substances are naturally depleted with age, and the rate of depletion is greatly increased through our unhealthy behaviors such as an unbalanced diet, the lack of sleep, and stress. Hair loss and grey hair will occur once not enough Kidney Jing and Liver blood are left in the body to sufficiently carry the nutrients needed for healthy hair follicles.

An internal conflict, more than just a beauty problem

Hair loss and grey hair are symptoms and warning that the body have an insufficient storage of Kidney Jing and Liver blood to nourish the hair follicles. If left unattended, more serious health problems could arise, such as joint pain, tinnitus, and dizziness. Most people view and treat hair loss and greying from an external perspective, the end result being less than desirable and reoccurrence being high. This is because only treating the symptoms will not remove the root cause, which ultimately is the lack of Kidney Jing and Liver Blood inside the body. Our human bodies are wired to supply nutrients to our vital organs first such as the heart and lungs before supplying it to the less important ones such as hair. Kidney Jing and Liver blood behaves in this way, that if a shortage occurs, the nutrients to the hair follicles will be cut off in order to keep the rest of the body alive. One must quickly realize the long term effect of the Lack of Kidney Jing and Liver blood can lead to very serious health issues and more than just a beauty problem.

The real long term solution: 4EverHair Capsule

City vehicles not sitting idle Question: Idling of vehicles is a major environmental issue. What is our civic government doing to educate our citizens about the need to significantly reduce idling of motorized vehicles? This is not simply a problem in winter. People idle in all areas of our city, in parking lots, at the weir, in front of homes and businesses and at job sites. Is there a city bylaw to deal with this problem?

Mayor Atchison: I think that is a step in the right direction. Newspaper and cardboard are the two most valuable pieces of recycling. Why wouldn’t we try to reclaim them in advance and put them back to good use again? Cosmo Industries was the leader in this right from the beginning. It was under mayor Cliff Wright that wonderful Ask the Mayor program began. Today some people will put their paper and cardboard in the blue boxes, but Mayor Atchison: The City has a nowe still have depots where you can take idling policy for our civic vehicles. And your newsprint and cardboard. I really enwe have asked citizens not to idle in school courage people to do that. I think business zones.

$1.5 million needed to complete clubhouse at SMF Field

he Friends of the Bowl Foundation needs a final push to complete the Saskatoon Minor Football (SMF) Field Clubhouse. The new turf is already seeing incredible use. Tackle football, flag football, soccer and conditioning camps are reaping the benefits of the ability to play on a top-quality field, under the lights with a first-class score clock and sound system. “This is exactly what we envisioned happening,” Johnny Marciniuk, operations manager of Saskatoon Football Inc. (SFI), said in a news release. For the 2015 season, the new SMF Field already has more than 1,000 hours of rentals booked in all levels of football. This equates to a 600-per-cent increase in hours of usage compared to the 2013 season with the grass field. But a revitalized field is only a piece of the Friends’ vision. Another $1.5 million is needed to complete the clubhouse. “The 12,000-square-foot multi-sport performance centre will be an anchor at the Gordie Howe Sports Complex,” said Marciniuk. “It will act as an educational training centre for five sports, seven months a year, hosting coaching, official and player clinics; sports science seminars; video training sessions; and league meetings, amongst other training.” “We have had incredible support from the community for this campaign,” Bryan Kosteroski, chair of Friends of the Bowl, said in the release. “Now, to complete the full facility, we need the final $1.5 million. This is the final stretch.” The Friends have raised $10 million to date with private and public sector commitments. The timeline to finish fundraising is extremely short, the group said in the release. The remaining $1.5 million will deliver a finished clubhouse that will provide

increased rental space from user groups and support the annual operations of the complex, which services numerous groups and surrounding facilities that include eight softball diamonds, five baseball diamonds, the speed skating oval and the hockey rink. “The clubhouse completion is extremely important for SFI’s business plan to be viable,” said Kosteroski. “Completion is required to achieve projected revenue from office space and meeting rooms that makes the whole organization viable for years to come. We need financial commitments as soon as possible to meet the construction timeline.” Without these additional funds, the second floor of the clubhouse will remain unfinished, meaning lost revenue and an unsustainable business model for SFI, plus an unrealized home for sports training and services for its many user groups. Supporters will have naming options available as recognition for a gift. “The clubhouse naming opportunity is available,” says Kosteroski. “Corporations looking to leave a significant mark on this community can do so for 30 years with this sporting complex.” The Friends also have other welldefined recognition opportunities still available, such as field logos and naming of high-traffic areas, such as locker rooms and a multi-purpose room overlooking the field. “We are committed to raising the final $1.5 million,” says Kosteroski. “We are committed to ensuring sustainable operations and to giving our community the clubhouse it deserves. And we need the community’s help.” Donations to the Bowl Field Goal Campaign can be made online at www. turfit.ca or by contacting the foundation.
