Saskatoonʼs REAL Community Newspaper

A

s someone who has occupied diverse roles as curator, writer, educator, administrator and gallery director, Joan Borsa has a deep appreciation and understanding for art.

In developing new curatorial ideas and perspectives, Borsa says “doing projects that are timely and that connect with the current social, cultural and political climate is important for me.”

“I want to communicate with real people in everyday situations. Art provides an important and safe forum in allowing both the art and non-art audiences to look at social issues in many different ways.”

That’s why Borsa was so thrilled to be a curator, alongside Tasha Hubbard, and working with artist Jaime Black of Winnipeg, on the REDdress, an art exhibition that came to the People University of Saskatchewan in the fall of 2014.

REDdress was the artist’s creative and critical response to the tragic reality of 1,181 cases of missing or murdered aboriginal women in Canada. Many of the cases are still unsolved.

For the exhibition on campus, many of the 125 dresses were displayed around the outdoor Bowl, with some also placed inside college buildings.

“The empty red dresses were poetic and evocative.

I remember one afternoon a gentleman, who taught on campus, approached me and asked if I had anything to do with the exhibit. He was moved to tears. I also heard from many faculty who brought their classes to see the show and students and staff who brought friends and family.

“When aboriginal women experience violence in such large numbers, we need to pay attention to the underlying issues of racism and sexism that still exist.

Jaime Black’s work gently exposes a national tragedy.

Art has the ability to move across geographic, cultural and national borders and differences. If we stand back and remain silent about a tragedy, we become complicit.”

It was for this kind of leadership Borsa is being honoured with the lifetime achievement award at the YWCA’s Women of Distinction dinner at TCU Place on May 28. In 2008, she also was also the recipient of the Saskatchewan Lieutenant-Governor’s arts lifetime achievement award.

As a curator, Borsa says every project carries special meaning and significance.

But some, like REDress and Borsa’s tribute to Saskatchewan artist Ann Harbuz, were among the ones closest to her heart.

The tribute in 1995 to Harbuz, a self-taught artist, was especially bold.

The 84-page exhibition catalogue was printed in English, French and Ukrainian. The exhibition, Inside Community/Outside Convention, opened at Regina’s Dunlop Art Gallery and would later be seen in Ottawa, Calgary, Saskatoon, Windsor and Winnipeg.

I

Tell me if I have food on my face

am not very good at eating.

I’ve noticed it a lot in recent times. I have developed an aversion to eating in public places. I seem to have developed a phobia about dropping food – specifically on myself.

It is actually becoming much the same at home.

I was reminded of this the other night when I was eating a batch of Sandy’s wonderful spaghetti. Noodles have always posed a bit of a problem during these dinners. I am thinking that is the case for many of us. I have never been able to use a spoon to twist them into a mouthful without a couple of noodles falling off and hanging down. Then it is an eating no-no — slurping.

When eating spaghetti, or darn near anything, I have thought of Editor wearing a bib or eating shirtless. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody – seeing me wearing a bib.

During this recent round of fighting with spaghetti, I accepted the fact there was a sauce stain on the front of my shirt. But I was a bit surprised when I looked in the mirror and saw sauce on the shoulder of my shirt. How did it get there? Did Sandy fling some at me?

It was alarming.

For some reason — strange how the mind works — this just reminded me of one of my new all-time favourite food stories. The fact it happened a few months ago means I don’t have to embellish it yet.

My mother and father were in Toronto visiting my brother at Christmas. My brother and my two nieces went out one night, leaving my mom and dad at home. I am surprised they didn’t take mom.

When my nieces returned home, they asked my father if he had eaten their chocolate-covered pretzels.

“No,” he replied.

“Then why is there chocolate on your face, grandpa?” they asked.

I am not sure I would eat someone else’s treats, but I can relate to the chocolate face.

Mini-Wheats have been a big part of my breakfast diet for years. I alternate them with other cereals, but tend to always have Mini-Wheats on standby. Those who read my column a couple of weeks ago know I am trying to give up MiniWheats as part of my quest to lose some belly fat.

After breakfast, when I go upstairs to brush my teeth, invariably there is a mini piece of a Mini-Wheat dangling from the side of my mouth. Soon it will be replaced with a Corn Flake or a Special K flake. As we age, do we lose the sense of feel? Shouldn’t I feel something hanging from my face?

“Excuse me, sir, but you have your car on your face.”

How close a relationship do you have to have with a person to tell them there is food on their face? Or stuck between their teeth?

I don’t have an answer. I know I would rather feel that pang of embarrassment when a friend or colleague points out that I am carrying or wearing food on my face than

have strangers gawking and chortling. I don’t want my Mini-Wheats to go viral. I am not so sure about the food in the teeth, though. Sandy and I do tell each other, but I have taken it no further.

Is there somebody that tells Stephen Harper if he has food in his teeth? Would his fart catchers allow the boss to speak in front of the UN with lettuce wedged between his teeth? I think not. On the other hand, Prince Charles might get away with having food stuck between his teeth because people tend to have a fascination with his ears.

I used Google to search for stories on how to eat noodles.

Old Captain Obvious provided an answer.

“Do not slurp up pasta as this is considered very bad manners. Always make sure all of the food on the fork goes into your mouth to avoid pasta hanging out of your mouth to avoid slurping it up.”

I’m thinking even a master of the spoon and fork must have an occasional slip. Poop happens, right?

The article continued.

“Tips and Warnings: It is acceptable to cut up thin, long noodles if it will aid you in eating the pasta without having to slurp up hanging noodles.”

That’s it. I will start cutting them. Then, I can work on keeping condiments off my clothing.

Passions for pottery

Clay Studio Three turns 40, throws Craft Council show Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express ancy Grummett is cutting cylinders of clay into manageable pieces, preparatory to throwing bowls on her potter’s wheel.

The Clay Studio Three member (and bookkeeper) fell in love with pottery while in law school, and particularly loves throwing. She is not alone.

“There is a fascination with pottery,” she said, after creating two bowls in a matter of minutes. “When I do demonstrations at the shop, people will just sit there and stare.”

“It’s sorcery,” her husband chimes in. Nancy is married to Tom Grummett, a famous artist in his own right. He is particularly well known for his stint as the cartoonist behind Superman. “People are making something right before your eyes.”

Nancy Grummett is one of 14 potter members of Clay Studio Three, a craft collective that was formed 40 years ago and now stands as the only pottery shop in Saskatoon.

She has been working rather furiously on the upcoming anniversary show at the Saskatchewan Craft Council’s gallery on Broadway Avenue, along with Eleanor Fernandez and other members.

The past and present members’ show opens May 29 and runs until July 11, with a reception on the evening of June 15 — World Craft Day. The works of pottery art will be wide-ranging; Grummett, for instance, will show one of her art faces, elegantly wrapped in a brightly coloured scarf.

The current members, however, have also contributed to a collaborative work called The Banquet. Each member has created a place setting, in keeping with the celebratory theme of the 40th anniversary.

Members submitted five pieces for the show, from which at least two were selected through a curation process. Several former members submitted up to three pieces, with at least one accepted for the show.

The founding members are Joan Ash-

enhurst, who is still potting in B.C., Olive Kalapaca and Marline Zora. They started Clay Studio Three with a studio on the corner of Temperance Street and Wiggins Avenue.

When they decided to go retail, the three potters invited others to join them: Carol Sanderson, Gail Steck, Ilse Schott and Sharon Kuntz. They moved onto the 900 block of Broadway Avenue in 1979, and remained there for nearly 20 years before moving to the corner of Broadway and Eighth Street.

When the owner of that building had to shut down, the next move took the studio into the basement of Art and All That Jazz, until that shop also closed fairly suddenly. Clay Studio Three had to find a place fairly quickly, and lucked into its present location at 527B Main Street, just off Broadway.

It was a tiny shop at first. But in 2009, when the landlord suggested the space could grow, the member potters went for it.

“We all got together and did the renos,” said Grummett, recalling gruelling hours sanding and sealing the flooring. It was typical collective behaviour.

“That’s pretty much what Clay Studio Three has been about — working together,” said Grummett.

“The potters share the work. A lot of it has to do with people wanting to make it work. We’re owners. The people who have stuck around the longest are the ones to take ownership of it.”

The shop keeps 25 per cent of sales and membership fees. “Everything goes back to the potters, except what it takes to run the shop,” she said.

And while pottery may not always produce the highest monetary standard of living, many potters do make much of their living on the proceeds. That’s despite years of hilarity from outside parties, who called the group “the housewife potters.”

It’s not a hobby for many of them. As it is for Grummett, it’s a passion and a choice. Some of the potters have university degrees, in law, nursing, social work and art (ceramics), for example. There are also men. The newest member, Martin

Nancy Grummett fell in love with pottery while in law school (Photo by Joanne Paulson) Tagseth, has taught ceramics in China and built kilns in the United States, noted Grummett.

He has been a great addition to the collective, as have Ron and Rusty Kurenda, who once owned Prairie Pottery downtown. When they joined a few years ago, Clay Studio’s sales jumped 32 per cent, said Grummett.

For herself, a former photographer, Grummett took it up as “stress release during law school,” and as something fun to do with her daughter, Jacinda. (The Grummetts also have a son, Max.) The two began taking pottery classes from Judy Tryon, also a Clay Studio Three member. Then something happened to divert her from going into the practice of law.

“I just fell in love with it. I was so comfortable potting, I went full-time into pottery. It’s what I was meant to do, I think.”

Grummett has created a line of place settings, does her pottery wall art, but is particularly known for her bowls – and charity. From 2009 until 2014, she would do 300 bowls for the Artists Against Hunger auction.

“I would sit there all day, and throw bowls. The most I have thrown is 84 in a day.”

As to the Craft Council show, it will be partly display and partly work for sale.

“I think the show will be a bit of a surprise,” Grummett hints. “The potters have really put themselves out; there are some beautiful pieces.”

Kinsmen Young Company actors to take centre stage at Persephone

Beth Jarrell Saskatoon Express or young actors in Saskatoon, the opportunity to write and produce a play about the things they care about on the large Persephone Theatre stage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Kinsmen Young Company (KYC) makes it happen for them.

F

The play These Things I Know examines the struggle that teenagers face in high school, exploring real-life issues. Even though it is actor Alex Lowell’s first year with the KYC, she had no problem fitting in and relating to the message of the play.

“There’s this one monologue about the point of it all, and how when you’re stuck in high school it’s the same people every

day,” Lowell says. “Every once in a while we think about where it’s all going, and the point of all this work we put into high school, and whether it will be worth it in the end.”

Lowell says being involved with the company is a great way for youth to decide whether or not they want to go into acting full-time.

After moving to Saskatoon to begin her university education, her stepping stones to success towards a current role as a professor at the University of Saskatchewan appear to be well-designed. In pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts degree in Saskatoon, she chose painting as a major and drama as a minor. She attended the Emma Lake Summer School and studied with Reta Cowley.

She gained a professional teaching diploma in arts education at the University of Alberta and started a teaching career near Edmonton. Soon after that, she did a master’s degree in art education at University of Alberta. Later, she enhanced her studies at the University of Toronto, University of Leeds in England and Concordia University in Montreal. She also taught at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, and Concordia University and the University of Regina as well.

At each stop, she gained a significant learning experience.

In Alberta, for instance, she studied, ran a SUB Art Gallery and was active with the Alberta Art Galleries Association and the Western Canada Art Association.

“It all represented five years of intensi-

fied learning. I began writing about art and discovered its rewards. That’s when I was first drawn to the feminist art practice and realized how much needed to be done on the work of women artists.”

In Leeds, she studied the social history of art with Griselda Pollock, “part of which was feminist art, which was groundbreaking at the time, and, for me, it was a fabulous experience, a turning point in my understanding.”

After living and working in other parts of Canada, she continually returned to Saskatoon. What kept her home after 1991 was to stay and care for her mother. Her mother is living in a Saskatoon personal care home, pushing towards the age of 102.

“You come back from travels with great ideas about contemporary art. Art influences move easily across the borders. I became exposed to many opportunities and was able to expand on ideas.”

As a writer, she turned her second thesis into a manuscript, Frida Kahlo: Marginalization and the Critical Female Subject, drawing attention to the Mexican artist.

She has contributed to the Mendel Art Gallery’s exhibition, A Seriously Twisted His-

These Things I Know will be showing at Persephone Theatre from May 27 to May 31. Tickets are available by calling 306-384-7727 or by going online to www. persephonetheatre.org.

Borsa grew up in rural Sask.

“I

(Continued from page 1) met Ann through my family at North Battleford. She was really unique. Her work was original and filled with idiosyncrasies. Artists like Joe Fafard and David Thauberger visited her.

She was truly a Saskatchewan gift who painted rich and timely works.”

Borsa’s story, too, is one about coming out of rural Saskatchewan, with a background of artistic and cultural wealth from a Ukrainian family, and discovering a unique path.

She was born in Melfort, attended a one-room school for seven years near Meskanaw and then took junior high and high school classes in Yellow Creek.

“My mother, Olga (nee Nikiforuk), was a school teacher. I believe she was the first one in Yellow Creek. My father, Andrew, was a farmer and served as a rural municipality councillor. They were ambitious, hard-working and active in the community.

My parents were open-minded, showed an acceptance of difference and wanted me to have the best education possible. I’m not sure about my biggest influences, but I experienced a lot of freedom and encourAS70250.E25 Aaron agement.”

“It’s very hard, and it’s very professional,” she said. “We’re here a lot; we spend a lot of time here. This is the most serious thing (with acting) I’ve done.”

Even though the final production is still the result of a class, actor Chris Holtkamp says the training is every bit as intense as a real production. The teens spend every weekday evening, as well as all day Saturday, at Persephone learning the skills that actors employ.

“They try to treat us as much like a professional theatre company as possible, which is a really great experience for us – especially if we’re thinking of going into acting as a profession,” Holtkamp said.

Holtkamp, who has been with KYC for three years, originally joined to get a taste of what serious acting would be like. In September, the Grade 12 student will be heading to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts to study acting full-time.

The company holds auditions for teenagers ages 14 to 18. It runs in a class style, where young actors learn the skills and trade of acting, writing and putting together a production. At the end of the five-month class, the final product is presented on stage.

Dan Macdonald is directing These Things I Know, and assisted the teenagers in the writing of the play. Although his name is on the script, he says the teens come up with most of the ideas. “(The teens) come up with a lot of the character ideas, what the characters would do, how they would connect with each other,” he said. “They show what they think the character would do or say; then I would go away, work on scenes, then bring them back, and they will input what needed to be changed.”

He talked about local businesses that he had helped with venture capital funding — little businesses, too, like Wine4You and Club Mynx. He said you don’t have to be a big business to be a successful business — inspiration No. 2.

Then he informed all the women ‘treps that things are pretty hopeless unless your business is profitable. Greg Yuel is no Kevin O’Leary, the guy who says nothing but “show me the money.” Yuel gets that there is much more to business, and to life, than profit; but profit makes it all possible.

“Profit is fundamental; it is the air that we breathe,” he said. However, profit leads to the second main reason people are in business: “It’s to create the community in which you want to live.”

Bingo, I thought. It would be great if everyone understood that profit is crucial and not a dirty word, but usually a means to a higher end. Most ‘treps have a passion, and use business to pursue it.

And then someone asked Yuel what single quality he looks for when deciding to invest in an entrepreneur. He thought about it, perhaps for an instant, and then said, “self-awareness.”

He didn’t say bloody-mindedness, or accounting brilliance, or drive, or intelligence, or idea-rich. He said self-awareness. I was completely amazed by that answer.

I still don’t know entirely what that means, except that I have a long way to go in finding my own self-awareness. Aware of what? I don’t know — what I’m good at, what I’m awful at, who I want to be when I grow up, how I can change the world, all those things.

In one speech, I was inspired four times. That never happens. I went on to be inspired another six or seven times, by the incredible, tough, struggling, surging, failing and succeeding women who followed Yuel on stage. Those are other stories I also hope to share.

It was a great conference. I hope to live up to all the things I learned that day. ***** B.B. King died. I was very sad. I was lucky enough to meet the great bluesman on the phone, once, and received one of the most memorable compliments of my life.

I hope I do not, again, self-aggrandize.

Keep in mind the man had never clapped eyes on me.

But during the interview, he said to me, more or less, “I love women. I think women are beautiful. But there are some women who are pretty, too. And I think you are one of the pretty ones.”

Yep, ok, he may have been buttering me up a bit. But I don’t think he was a sexist man, just a man of his generation.

I took it as a compliment, as I believe he meant it.

What was an even greater compliment was how long he spent on the phone with me. He answered every question fully, threw in extra anecdotes, asked me questions about myself, and was fully engaged.

That, by all accounts, was the way he was.

He shook your hand, he looked you in the eye, he was kind and he was in the moment with everyone.

I’m so sorry that the thrill he clearly took in life is gone.

THANK YOU, STARS STARS' Very Important Patient (VIP)

“After I came to, I realized I was pinned inside my truck. There was someone outside my window assuring me that help was on the way,” recalls John of that fateful day.

John was returning home to Weyburn via Highway 33. The roads had started getting slick and icy. Another vehicle lost control on the ice and was heading straight at him. John swerved to avoid a collision. “I remember thinking it was too late,” says John, as the vehicle slammed into his.

“When I gained consciousness, I was being loaded up into the STARS helicopter. I thought since I’m leaving the scene of an accident in a helicopter, things must be serious.” By the time he reached the Regina General Hospital he had lost a lot of blood — his injuries were extensive.

Through three surgeries, a multitude of steel plates and screws were installed in his left arm, right wrist, and left leg and ankle. “There was talk of amputation, and if I had not been brought to the hospital quickly by STARS, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my leg,” says John.

“STARS is very important in Saskatchewan as it is a rural province, and for some, the hospitals are several hours away by ground ambulance,” John states. “We all need to step up and contribute to keep STARS flying.”

“That tells you the kind of person that we’re getting. She’s really excited to be a part of this small festival.”

For those unfamiliar with chamber music, Woods describes it as “the band music of the classical world.”

“I think what’s nice about chamber music is that it’s accessible; it’s really designed for smaller groups,” she said.

“I think, initially, it was played in salons.

So this is how people who didn’t have television and Netflix spent their Sunday afternoons and Friday evenings — jamming together, really, on the instruments of the day, way before electric.”

The Ritornello festival kicks off on May 29 with a concert at the Ukrainian Orthodox Auditorium, located on 20th Street West. Billed as an “Eastern European folk extravaganza,” the evening will include folk tunes and a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence for string sextet.

“It’s a nice big space, so it allows us to sort of expand the audience — and, as luck would have it, there’s a perogy dinner that night put on by the church,” said Woods.

“So you can come for perogies and kielbasa, and you can stay for an Eastern European celebration.”

Next up is the May 30 concert at Village Guitar & Amp, also located on 20th Street West. Woods describes the show as “a more relaxed and avante-garde concert,” where jeans and pints of beer are welcome.

“With this one, we sort of explore a couple different avenues. There’s some improvisational elements; we’re doing a piece by a local composer named Lia Pas,” Violinist Lara St. John will be a featured performer at the Ritornello Chamber she said.

“We’re doing a piece called Beautiful Music Festival (Photo Supplied) Mechanical, and we’ve invited trumpeter Shannon Boklaschuk different locations. and professor Dean McNeill, from the UniSaskatoon Express “We’ve got big plans for our seventh versity of Saskatchewan, to join us, and his askatchewan’s only chamber muannual festival season,” said pianist and co- wife, Jennifer McAllister, on flute.” sic festival is back for another year artistic director Jacqueline Woods.

The Story of Babar, for piano and narrator.

Local actor Heather Morrison will serve as the guest narrator and will tell the story of Babar the Elephant.

“Picture Heather on a chair, a bunch of kids on pillows and blankets on the floor — because we’re going to invite them up to sit in front of her,” said Woods.

“We’re doing, actually, a piano duet version of this piece, so that will be super fun.

Kids under 12 are free. The reception will be hosted at intermission, so we’ll stop for a big, long break — cake and coffee — and then parents with small children can leave, if they want, because 45 minutes is a long time for little kids.”

The second half of the concert will include one of Woods’ favourite Mendelssohn trios, which “will be an amazing end to the weekend.”

Woods said 13 musicians are involved in Ritornello this year, including Carissa Klopoushak, Katherine Dowling, Jim Legge, Ryan Davis, Simon Fryer, Scott McKnight, Krista Martynes and Sofia Mycyk. The festival will take audiences along on a “historical journey,” since the music featured extends over a period of 400 years, said Woods.

Woods and Klopoushak, a violinist, created the Ritornello Chamber Music Festival in 2009. Today, it is a non-profit organization supported by donations, ticket sales and grants, and has a mandate “to provide Saskatchewan audiences the opportunity to hear fresh and innovative concerts performed by engaging musicians of the highest quality, with special attention to those who were born and raised in the Prairies.”

When Woods and Klopoushak first started Ritornello, they hoped it would continue on into the future — and it has.

“The idea was to establish something that would be sort of sustainable and continue, in the years ahead, to support Saskatchewan’s chamber music community, as well as enhance it,” Woods said.

“I’m proud of where it’s taken us, actually. It’s noticed on the national scene.”

Ritornello tickets are available at McNally Robinson, online at picatic.com and at the door. For more information about the festival, go online to ritornello.ca.

how painful it was, and how I didn’t think my son was eating.

Turns out he wasn’t, and it wasn’t until a nurse checking in on us at home identified that my son was losing weight so quickly that he had become listless, that we were able to turn things around — with formula.

My second son was premature and spent six weeks in NICU. Straight breastfeeding was not an option. Those dedicated nurses who bottle-nourished my child, with formula when I could not (and yes, I pumped as much as I could) deserve a medal in my mind.

The deal was that Similac supplied Saskatoon hospitals with enough formula, completely free, for every baby who needs it, in exchange for exclusivity within the region.

It included babies that require it because their mothers are HIV positive, or coming off meth, or just like me — indisposed.

Is this, in part, a marketing initiative? Of course. The goal is that new moms who see Similac in the hospital will use Similac when they get home. So what? It’s provided FREE to the health region. Why shouldn’t Similac receive some regard in return?

According to a health region spokesperson, the decision was made to move away from Similac to dissolve the exclusivity arrangement. Oh, and maybe so some mom aren’t given formula “more quickly than it should be.”

And who, pray tell, makes the decision on how quickly I make a choice about my own body, and my baby’s?

Travel

Everyone should visit Stanley Mission

Doreen Kerby for the Saskatoon Express have travelled quite extensively and have seen a lot. But there are few buildings more impressive than the Church of the Holy Trinity at Stanley Mission in our province. It is truly remarkable.

A product of the Gothic Revival of mid-19th century England, it overlooks the mighty Churchill River. Built in the mid1850s, it is the oldest building in Saskatchewan and the oldest wood-frame church west of the Red River.

To see this elegant white Victorian church surrounded by rugged wilderness is both surprising and inspiring. Our guide, Tristyn McKenzie, pulled up to the dock and told us to take as long as we wanted to see the church and graveyard. That was a moment I will always cherish. As we walked into the church, we were reliving 170 years of history.

In 1845, James Beardy, a Cree, came to minister to 20 families ready to convert to Christianity at the English River Mission of the Church of England. The following year a Cree, James Settee, took charge until 1850. He was a legend in his own time, revered by all who knew him. As a result of his work, on July 1, 1847, Rev. James Hunter visited the mission and baptized 107 people. Settee went on to become a fully-ordained minister in the Anglican Church.

English missionaries, Rev. Robert Hunt and his wife, followed him. To the credit of the Anglican Church, Hunt was instructed JW15360.E25 by the MissionaryJames Society to learn the na-

I

tive languages, prepare instruction books and train Native teachers. He was expected to deliver his sermons in the language of his parishioners. “Do not regard yourself a fully qualified missionary till it is accomplished,” he was told.

Hunt’s wife named Stanley Mission for her English home in Stanley Park. Hunt’s diary best describes his daunting assignment: “My parish is 600 miles by 400 miles and all is forest, through which none but an Indian can find his way; or naked rock, or swamp, or lake or river; not even a solitary pathway through any part except those made by the voyageurs while passing once or twice a year from one lake or river to another.”

The Hunts were responsible for building the church. They invested their savings in it.

They bought stained glass, window frames, hinges and other essentials needed for an impressive church. Some of the materials they ordered took four years to arrive. However, it was built between 1856 and 1860 and the first service was conducted in Cree on June 10, 1860.

In poor health, the Hunts returned to England in 1862 and Rev. John McKay, a Metis, was responsible for Stanley Mission from 1864 to 1877. He expanded the site with a new parsonage and several residences. He emphasized agriculture so the community could be self-reliant with vegetables, wheat and barley. He produced books and leaflets in Cree to distribute to the scattered tribes and visited his people in winter with a dog sled and snowshoes. In the summer, he travelled by canoe. Life was

The Church of the Holy Trinity at Stanley Mission is a sight to behold (Photo Supplied) not easy, but he was dedicated and went on to found Emmanuel College in Prince Albert to train First Nation missionaries. As a scholar, he translated the Bible into Cree and created the first Cree dictionary. So Holy Trinity Church is not just a beautiful building. It represents devotion, dedication and sacrifice by men and women willing to brave the wilderness to bring Christianity to the North.

Not far from Stanley Mission is one of the most spectacular sights in Saskatchewan — the Nistowiak Falls. It ranks among the most famous of the waterfalls in the province and certainly the most accessible. The falls are on Rapid River, which flows north out of Lac La Ronge into Nistowiak Lake on the Churchill River. In Cree, Nistowiak

Soil is the foundation for the global production of food, animal feed, fuel and natural fiber. So the healthier a nation’s soil is, the more crops they can grow.

These are the highest falls in Saskatchewan at 17 metres (55 feet) and they are truly spectacular.

On the way to the falls is a cliff face with an impressive set of ancient aboriginal pictographs, still retaining some of their vibrant colour. Our guide stopped so we could get out and see them more closely. That added another dimension to a fantastic trip.

It is a trip everyone in the province should experience.

Grade 8 student volunteering beyond his years

Beth Jarrell Saskatoon Express arkirat Bhullar may only be in Grade 8, but that hasn’t stopped him from being an agent of change in his community. Bhullar volunteers for Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to helping raise awareness and funding for those who are affected by autism in Canada.

The student, who moved to Saskatoon with his family a year ago from India, saw there was a gap in events for youth with autism. He submitted a pitch to the organization, and a talent contest designed for kids four to 16 diagnosed with autism was born.

“We need to honour their abilities and skills, which are really unique and intrinsic. … They cannot be found in any other group of people,” he said. “They have qualities which are quite remarkable, even if they may need a little extra help.”

The contest, which will be provincewide, is designed to be a platform for children with autism to realize and present their talents. However, Bhullar says it runs much deeper than that.

“It’s not only giving JW15325.E25 Jamesthem a platform

H

to know their own talents, but also to understand that their voice matters to us,” he said. “They need to know that what they’re saying is actually being appreciated.”

Bhullar decided to get involved in the organization after being inspired by a classmate with autism. While he has doing his own research about Autism Spectrum Disorder, he has found that interacting with individuals who have the disability is the best way to learn.

“His class teacher told me there is a girl with a similar disorder in his class,” said Bhullar’s mother, Ekta. “(The teacher) said that he always tries to help that student with different things. He’s sensitive to all this, and I’m very happy he knows about the conditions others have in society.”

After his first meeting with Autism Speaks, Bhullar was committed to volunteering.

“He said, ‘Today I realized it’s such a big problem; some children cannot talk to their parents.’… He was totally moved,” she said. “I told him, ‘You know about the problems, but now you should think about how we can tackle this in our community.’ ” Helping his community is something the teen is no stranger to — when

not working on planning the talent contest, Bhullar spends his time volunteering for other causes. In the past year, he has joined organizations such as the Saskatoon Community Foundation, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Saskatoon Teen Advisory Council.

“When you get more involved in your own community, it’s not always you impacting the community,” he said, “but the impact the community has on you.”

Harkirat attends Grade 8 at Lakeridge School. In order to balance his time, he has completely distanced himself from social media.

“I try to make the best of my time. It’s really important to me to be good at time management,” he said. “When you go out and help people, you learn a lot more than you do in a normal environment.”

Even though Harkirat is young, he has big plans for the future. In addition to continuing to expand his knowledge of autism, he plans to write a book about the disorder.

“Whatever I do in my life, it will be something involving the community,” he said. “I’m really passionate about science, but whatever I do in science should come at the benefit of other people.”

Harkirat Bhullar is organizing a talent contest designed for kids four to 16 diagnosed with autism (Photo by Beth Jarrell) Individuals who are eligible to enter the contest must submit their talent to abswalknow@autismspeaks.ca by June 5.

And tour he did.

One conmaternal grandmother when cert stands out in particular: May his own mother ran off with another man, 10, 2002. It had just been my birthday and King was born to the blues. “The blues was my mom was taking me to the King concert bleeding the same blood as me,” he was at what is now known as TCU Place. quoted as saying.

Having met King’s road manager earlier, King took naturally to music and was a Mom and I were invited to the Green Room self-taught guitar player. In 1949, he started after the show to meet with King. recording in L.A. under producers such as Even though he had played through a Sam Phillips, who eventually started up the long, extensive evening, he was gracious famed Sun Records.

my mother and said, “Do you mind if I give you a kiss?” Mom smiled again, leaning forward so he could kiss her on the cheek.

The photo being done, conversation pursued and Mom told King it was my birthday. Without missing a beat, King turned to me and, in his low, beautiful, bluesy voice, he sang Happy Birthday, stopping only to say, “Everybody join in!” as photographers, staff and others sang along. I leaned over and gave King a kiss on the cheek.

That was 2002, and I didn’t see him again until 2005. By that time, my mother had passed away.

I went to this concert with my sister, Shonnie. In my purse I carried the photo of Mom, King and me. As luck had it, I met up with the road manager again and, remembering Mom and me, he invited us back to meet with King. This time it was on the tour bus.

When it was our time to visit with King, we were escorted onto the bus. We walked to the back of the bus through a group of friendly senior men, all dressed in uniform, each proudly bearing a lifetime of medals.

Something about each of them said they had a deep friendship with King. We made it to the back of the bus when the road manager

Shelly and Shonnie Lee with B.B. King in 2005 (Photo Supplied) announced that Mr. King was tired and so would only give autographs, no special inscriptions.

As I sat down to visit with King, I pulled out the photograph, and retold the story of our visit with him. He listened as I told him that Mom had since passed away and, as he listened, he turned over the photograph and signed, “With love, B.B. King.”

Many musicians play Saskatoon, all of them loving the loving that our hometown audience gives. Not many of them stop to share of themselves, like King did.

B.B. King taught many young musicians to play their own music and to play it from the heart. He was a true leader and the world is going to miss him.

entering her third campaign with the team.

“It is still pretty intimidating now,” said Boldt. “We’ve got great coaches here, and I am learning a lot. I can only just hope to improve game by game.”

The physical education teacher from Evan Hardy Collegiate was a slotback during her first two years with the Valkyries, but she didn’t step cold into the role of quarterback. Boldt practised a bit as a quarterback during her first season, and worked more seriously at the position in her second campaign.

She was given a start last season and led the Valkyries to a 60-0 romp over the Wolfpack in Winnipeg.

Valkyries head coach Jeff Yausie got excited about Boldt’s potential, knowing the time would come when Bloomquist would step away from the game.

“You can’t just replace Candace,” said Yausie. “She is a great athlete and a good leader. Stacey has really stepped in. Players like her, and they want to play for her. That is the kind of the player you want in the huddle, someone that the players look up to.

“She leads by example. She works hard.

She never misses practice.”

Boldt was an outstanding athlete in her own right, playing ringette when she was younger and basketball during her high school years. She was an outfielder for the Saskatoon Outlaws junior women’s Quarterback Stacey Boldt has guided the Saskatoon Valkyries to a 2-0 record softball team that won Canadian champiso far this season (Photo by Darren Steinke) onships in 2008, 2010 and 2011.

While she had a vast amount of experience in sports to draw from, Boldt still battled butterflies before her start last season at quarterback.

pack on May 10 at Saskatoon Minor Football Field, Boldt didn’t look out of place.

She hit Marci Kiselyk with a 30-yard touchdown pass early, connected with Julene Friesen for a 55-yard throwing major and found Carly Dyck on a deep 40-yard post for another score.

“From past years to this year with coaching, her arm has improved a lot,” said Yausie. “I’ve been super impressed by her accuracy, and how she is able to throw at all levels of the field.”

Boldt didn’t get flustered in Saskatoon’s second game of the season. She threw three touchdown passes as the Valkyries rallied from a 16-8 deficit to down the Riot in Regina 28-19 on May 17. The Valkyries (2-0) and Riot (1-1) go at it again May 30 at 7 p.m. at SMF Field.

Yausie said Boldt has the right combination of physical attributes and intangibles to help make her a good quarterback.

“From what I have seen, Stacey (Boldt) is a very good athlete,” said Yausie. “That is certainly is one of the things that you want from a quarterback. She has a very calm personality, and she is a good leader.”

When she first started playing tackle football, Boldt was confident she would like it.

“I’ve always been interested in it,” said Boldt. “I love team sports, so it was an easy find for me. It was different. I played contact sports before, but nothing like this.”

It also helped that long-time school friends Beth Thomson and Jamie Lammerding were on the team, along with another school friend in Chris HengenBraun, who is the Valkyries assistant head coach.

Boldt expects to be the Valkyries starting signal caller for the foreseeable future.

She wants to win this year to help the Valkyries complete a drive claiming five straight WWCFL championships.

If she could accomplish that, Boldt would lead her team to a championship following in the steps of a highly decorated predecessor like Young did in the NFL. “We expect nothing less,” said Boldt.

“We are just going to keep preparing and working hard. That is all we can ask for.”

Old dogs and young Terriers

By RJ Currie hree unspoken reasons Mike Babcock chose the Maple Leafs: 3.

The bar for success is really low; 2.

What’s Buffalo with an F and U; 1. Blue uniforms bring out his red hair.

• The CFL was ahead of the NFL and voted in April to add 20 yards to the point after touchdowns. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were quick to respond: “Touchdowns?”

• A new Canada-U.S. bridge will be named after hockey great Gordie Howe.

And just as it was playing the legend, it’ll take a toll.

• Enough already about the impact of letting air out of balls on Tom Brady’s legacy. He’ll be remembered as one of the all-time great-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s.

• The Portage Terriers won the RBC Cup, ending Manitoba’s Junior A hockey championship drought dating back to 1974. Or as the Chicago Cubs call it, just yesterday.

• According to a wired.com article, alcohol consumption has been shown to improve the aim of archers. In a related story, Johnny Manziel just bought a bow and arrow.

• The Daily Mail reports an Australian woman has gone on 136 first dates in 17

A lot of Babcock babble in this column

T

Views of the World

C Chong, on Mike Babcock calling the Leafs Canada’s team: “Would somebody remind him he’s the head coach of Toronto, not the Olympic team.”

• Janice Hough, on the Maple Leafs giving Babcock an eight-year, $50-million contract: “It might not have just been the money. Don’t disregard not having to worry about all that stressful playoff pressure.”

• From Torben Rolfsen: “U2 kicked off the biggest North American tour since Mike Babcock.”

• The Toronto Sun had 15 pages on the Babcock signing. How do you cover the Second Coming?

• A tweet from @randyturner15: “How can you be considered the smartest man in hockey, yet agree to coach a team anchored by Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf at the same time?”

• Phaneuf has an ugly contract, but I don’t think he mailed it in last year. The same can’t be said for Kessel, Bozak and JVR. • From @StanksSports (aka our Darren Steinke): “Headline: Maple Leafs win Mike Babcock Sweepstakes. Sorry, the words Maple Leafs and win don’t mix.”

• Two tweets from Argos defensive end Ricky Foley, who was not happy the Babcock signing bumped the Argos sale to the back of the sports section: “So congrats on Ur new coach @MapleLeafs…Hopefully 50mil & sky high ticket prices r enough 2give Ur players heart & a compete level #cfl • A better one from Foley: “And our captains and vet leaders don’t play like a bunch of soft ass punks with no emotion or passion for the game or its fans … #nhl” • Gosh I like Ricky Foley.

• Bill Littlejohn, on Cubs pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada finding someone’s credit card in the dirt near third base: “It’s a case of don’t steal home without it.”

•Hough, on the NFL about to change the point after touchdown rule: “And Oakland Raiders fans are asking ‘the what?’”

• Rolfsen, on Russia facing sanctions after leaving the ice during the playing of O Canada at the end of the world men’s hockey final: “The players said they had to rush back to their hotel to catch the Mad DC20095.E25 Darlene

Men finale.”

• It is nice having columns by Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun appearing in The StarPhoenix. I’ve always liked his stuff better than Cam Cole’s. I like that Simmons has some bite.

• From Littlejohn: “In working to develop a Deflategate-proof football, Big Game USA has come up with one where a green check mark lights up when the ball is inflated over 12.5 pounds per square inch, and doesn’t when it is under 12.5.

My question: How did they get the Coors Light cold-activated can into the football?”

• From Chong: “Is it too soon for Clippers fans to blame the Curse of V. Stiviano?”

• Professional lacrosse will not work in Saskatoon. Period. End of story. Teams in Buffalo and Colorado attract 16,000 people to their games. Calgary averages approximately 12,000. Edmonton had 7,000 at a game last week and is kicking tires for a new home.

• Chong, on the new bridge connecting Detroit to Windsor being named after Gordie Howe: “Calgary already has a street named after Gordie. It’s Elbow Drive.”

• Hough, on two New Jersey Drug Enforcement Agency agents being charged with illegally moonlighting by operating a strip club on the side: “Maybe they had aspirations of joining the Secret Service?”

• From Rolfsen: “Former Ravens LB Ray Lewis will release a memoir. Will the publisher be DC or Marvel?”

• A tweet from @GlobalThue: “The amount of time we get to see Ron MacLean is shameful.”

• Why isn’t Bob Cole broadcasting one of the two NHL Conference championship series? Or why not both for that matter?

• Chong, on Japanese airbag maker Takata recalling more than 34 million cars in North America due to malfunctioning airbags: “Tom Brady says he knows how to get them fixed if they are over-inflating.”

• From Rolfsen: “Draft Lottery 1960s: fake injury to avoid Vietnam. Draft Lottery 2010s: fake injury to avoid Knicks.”

• Nickelback is wanted in Australia for “crimes against music.” Isn’t this the country that gave us Air Supply?

months without a second date. How is that news? It’s way short of my record.

• New coach Mike Babcock said he wants to put the Maple Leafs back on the map. They’ve gone so far south of late, they were last seen in Antarctica.

• Ex-WWE star The Rock had himself ordained in order to perform the wedding ceremony for a loyal wrestling fan. He’s not the first wrestler to pin a guy down.

• Due to dad Bruce Jenner’s sex change, Kim Kardashian reportedly organized a Montana ski trip to bond the family. In my day, family bonding meant playing RumAS70267.E25 Aaron moli.

• Good news and bad for BC Lions owner David Braley. The good news is a Toronto consortium bought his Argonauts.

The bad news is he had to take Justin Bieber.

• In soccer news, Man U was chuffed and QPR brown bread after The Hoops’ nil loss relegated them from BPL with nowt left but to get squiffy. Yeah, I don’t understand it either.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week Nursing home officials in Pennsylvania found a prostitute had been frequenting a 70-year-old male resident. She’s accused of turning new tricks with an old dog.

Matchmaker Lady, I’d like to know who you think you are. I called you. Remember me? I’m Don. I’m 72.

My wife died and I told you I want to meet someone in her 30s to 50 max. You said I couldn’t join if that is what I want. What gives you the right to decide what age I can date?

You even asked me what my kids would say, and I told you I don’t care. I’ll let you know when I find her without your help. — Don Dear Don, I do remember your call very clearly. Initially, you would not tell me your age. Eventually, you told me you were a very young 72 and widowed.

You mentioned your wife was the same age as you and passed away three years ago. You also said you wanted to buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

I had talked to you about the possibilities of a woman I had who was in her 60s and also rode a Harley. You were appalled by the fact that I suggested a woman in her 60s.

I have been a matchmaker for 21 years. I have successfully matched thousands of people. With my experience, I know what is realistic and what is not. I do not have any clients in their 30s or 40s who would consider dating a man your age. All of my clients are self-supporting and are looking for a compatible partner.

Don won’t be robbing from my cradle When it is clear to me that I won’t likely be able to meet someone’s expectations, I decline the opportunity to work with them. That is exactly what I did with you because of the unlikelihood of me ever being able to match you with your fantasy partner. I truly hope you re-evaluate your motives and seek out a realistic partner.
