A place of honour Family fulfills mother’s wish

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

eth Marcoux wanted a plaque placed on the island in Saskatchewan named after her brother, Burnet Monteith Chamney. The plaque would be a permanent reminder of Chamney’s contribution to Canada during the Second World War and an expression of love for her brother. Marcoux, who recently turned 90, hoped the plaque could be placed before her passing. It is a last wish, although she phrased it differently in a conversation last week. “You mean my bucket list,” she said with a laugh. “I had mentioned wanting to do this. I was in the veterans’ office downtown one day and was going through this book and found the island that was named after him, so I wrote down just where it was.” One of her grandchildren, Kristin Burton, did some research on the island, and then Marcoux’s four living sons planned the trip. Marcoux had 12 children — six sons and six daughters. Two of her sons died in automobile accidents. A total of 3,922 Saskatchewan men and women who lost their lives in the Second World War have had geographical locations named in their honour. The Geo-Memorial Commemorative Naming program was started by the federal government in 1947 and was transferred to the province in 1960. The program was later extended to include not only those who lost their lives during the Second World War, but also those who were killed while on active

duty in other conflicts, in peacekeeping roles or while protecting the public here in Saskatchewan. Chamney was only 23 when he was killed on Feb. 26, 1943. He was on a

Longtime auto writers reunited on our pages

e are making a change in the content on our monthly auto pages. We are going 100 per cent local. When we started the Express four years ago, we were grateful when Charles Renny came along for the ride. He had a long history of writing about vehicles, including as a columnist for The Editor StarPhoenix and Regina Leader-Post. He is president of the Automobile Journalists’ Association of Canada, which means, among other things, he gets great trips to drive cars and he gets to be part of the group that selects the cars of the year. He has been with the association for 25 years. The new face on our pages belongs to Jim Kerr. He is new to us, but not to Saskatoon readers. Jim has been reviewing automobiles for so long, it seems as though he test drove the first Ford off the assembly line. I mean that as a comment on his expertise and experience, not his age. When The StarPhoenix dropped Jim’s column, we came swooping in and picked it up. In addition to his writing, Jim is the automotive service technician program head at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Saskatoon campus. We will be doing more than auto reviews on our pages, although they will be a big part of the package. Jim and Charles bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in many facets of the industry. They understand what is going on under the hood of a vehicle. They can change the radio from AM to FM – unlike me. They will share their wisdom on our pages and interact with readers. I might contribute to the auto pages from time to time – an autos-for-dummies thing. I have had the pleasure of interviewing the CEOs of Honda Canada and Ford Canada during the

Jeff Janzen has turned his 1994 Crown Victoria into something of an objet d’art in memory of his son Shawn Janzen “Poet,” who died in a car accident a few years ago. Jeff decided to “rednecktify” what he calls his winter car, with a paint job and chrome trim. He also got a few co-workers to sign their names on the car. Since then, many others have added their signatures as well when they encounter Jeff and his vehicle around Saskatoon. The number of signatures has now run well beyond 800.

I will do almost anything for a free lunch. Another time, Ken Noskye and I were parking the Mustang at a Tim Hortons when a woman pulled in next to us and got out of her SUV. Asking her if she wanted to go for a ride in our car had 911 written all over it. Thankfully, she didn’t make the call. We are happy to have Charles and Jim writing on our pages. Please watch for them in next week’s edition. ***** A month or so ago, we featured Jori Kirk on these pages. Jori is the person who opened the cool zip line tour at Elk Ridge earlier this month. He also owns Cypress Hills Eco-Adventures Ltd. Now we hear Jori is up for a national business award that comes with a prize of $100,000. He is the only person in the final from Saskatchewan. We can help Jori by going to bdc. ca/yea and voting for him. Bookmark the site, because we can vote every day. Voting closes on June 17, so we have to get moving on this.

past couple of years. I tried the Ford simulator that mirrors what it is like to drive drunk. I failed the test miserably. I might have failed sober as well. As an aside, I like to remind Charles that I had the pleasure of interviewing racing legend Michael Andretti. A Saskatoon driver signed with Andretti’s team a number of years ago, so I requested/pleaded for an interview with Michael. He called the office and one of my colleagues answered the phone. “It’s Michael Andretti calling for Cam Hutchinson,” he said — or something like that. My colleague was so tempted to say, “And I’m AJ Foyt, goodbye.” Thank goodness she didn’t. I have been given a number of cars to test drive, including a Porsche and a Ford Mustang convertible. I love the sound of muscle cars. It’s nice seeing more and more of them on city streets — decibels, be damned. The Mustang provided a somewhat comical experience. There was the time four of us from the office took it to McDonald’s. Two people jumped out and went inside, while Minette Sawchyn and I went through the drive-thru. Here we were

played it the first time through, members of the North Saskatchewan Pipes and Drums gave it a second run-through, and then the University Chorus delivered a vocal rendition,” said Butcher. “I remember the first team to register came from Davidson, where they wanted to celebrate Tristan Vicente, a young boy going through treatment. “From there, we saw an explosion of growth. The tents became spectacles. One family from Dalmeny showed up in M*A*S*H costumes one year and, another time, they appeared as the Flintstones in a Flintstone vehicle. There was lots of family participation at first. Then Golder and Associates, Associated Engineering and the Royal Bank of Canada gave us a corporate presence. Schools started to send teams. “All we ever asked was that at least one member of a team be on the track at all times. That’s where people gathered and made new connections. Think of the music, the activities, the food, and the overwhelming vision of between 2,000 to 3,000 candles lit at once. That’s what we were all about.” Most of Butcher’s times with Relay For Life were spent as an employee of the Saskatoon unit. He became a tremendous ambassador for the cause, turning up at 51 functions and going national and international. Some of the trips were special. Once he and his wife, Sandra, went to Boca Raton, Fla., “where we saw the Fight Back theme for the first time and we also borrowed another novel idea, the Cattle Baron’s Ball. In Boca Raton, the police chief and the fire chief were the co-chairs and were apologetic for not giving us the red-carpet treatment. Problem is that President Bush had been in the city that day, a visit which demanded full-scale security.” Butcher went to a conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., on another occasion and was surprised that, at the time, Americans weren’t holding relays in cities with populations of fewer than 5,000. “I came home and organized a relay at Alsask. The population was 137, we had 200 participate and we raised $99,000. I went back to the American convention the next year, told them what we did at Alsask and told them that’s the way we do things in Canada.” Butcher was raised in Saskatoon and he received a recreation director’s diploma at SIAST. His first jobs were at Kerrobert and Rosetown. He was soon on a provincial board with parks and recreation. He became a Kinsmen Club member and was first active in Kinsmen Telemiracle 5. Soon he joined the Kinsmen Foundation as an administrative co-ordinator and stayed for 10 years. “I learned so much from those early organizers of Telemiracle. But what always struck me the most was the caring nature of the people in Saskatchewan. Telemiracle touched so many hearts.” He also served four years with the Saskatchewan Institute on Community Living, helping to build a partnership with Value Village. After 15 years with the Cancer Society, he retired at the end of December and will participate in this Relay For Life as a volunteer. “The common thread in all of my life’s ventures was working collectively with community objectives and watching how everyone pitched in when they were needed,” said Butcher.

Placing the plaque emotional experience

“H

(Continued from page 1) e was a cut-up that would entertain people,” Beth Marcoux said. “He went in for a pilot, but he washed out. My mother felt kind of bad about that, but he was a bomb aimer.” Marcoux had three brothers enlist for the war, as well as her husband. She remembers the day bad news arrived at the door of her parents’ Saskatoon home. “My mother and dad were having their front room painted. At that time they came on a bicycle to your door with a telegram. The telegram was edged in black so you knew it wasn’t good news. . . . You just weren’t sure which one it was. Wartime is a very stressful time for parents.” Burnet’s name was on the telegram — flight sergeant R87480. Killed in action. Russel, Joe, John and Todd Marcoux made the trip last month to Chamney Island. With them, they took the plaque designed by Burton. “We wanted to do it for Mom because it was a last wish and something she has been talking about doing for a few years,” Russel Marcoux said. “When we decided to do it, we thought it was appropriate that the four brothers do it together. It was a pretty moving experience.” A guide named Gerry Angel, who has lived in the area for most of his 72 years, made the last leg of the trip easy. “When I told him what we were all about, he said, ‘Don’t worry about it; I’ll look after you.’ That took off a lot of pressure.” The brothers had originally planned to fly in from either La Ronge or Flin Flon. The plan changed when they discovered the island was only six kilometres from Denare Beach. “It just made a lot more sense to do it by boat. We got up there, got loaded in the boat and I said to Gerry, ‘You know exactly where it is, do you?’ He pulled out this beautifully laminated map that he has personally done over the years — he’s a pilot. And he has

done the geography for Amisk Lake, the entire lake, so every island is on there. He pointed to an island and said, ‘It’s right here.’ “When we got to the island, he said, ‘I’ll putz around the whole island and let you guys have a look and see what you think.’ We went by this one rock and we all said, ‘Yeah, that looks like a good spot.’ We went around the rest of the island and, when we came back to that spot, we all said, ‘That rock looks like it was made for a monument.’ It is kind of square and looked a bit like some of the headstones you see in a cemetery. “My two brothers, Joe and John, are pretty handy —we’re all farm boys — but they got the handyman gene, so they had brought all the tools and the rock bolts. We climbed up on the rock and drilled some holes and put it in there. “When we backed away with the boat, we had a little ceremony — yes, it was pretty special. Everybody gave a little salute. It was quite an experience. “It was something that was a real bonding experience for us as brothers, and my mom was so excited when we sent her pictures after the installation, and told her we had a little ceremony in his honour. It was just like she was at peace that it was done.” Beth Marcoux said she is happy her sons made the trip. “It’s just wonderful. It’s just beautiful.” (More information on the Geo-Memorial Commemorative Naming program can be found at www.pcs.gov.sk.ca/geomemorial.)

SASKATOONEXPRESS - June 8-14, 2015 - Page 5

It’s not easy being 18 in this day and age Winter Mooney for the Saskatoon Express n today’s society, we have expectations that differ from previous societies. But they all have certain assumptions as to what we should possess when it comes to appearances. As an 18-year-old girl in this era, it’s difficult not to notice this high demand. My body is going through constant change, and it is proving to be extraordinarily frustrating to constantly display the image society demands from me. I have these views pushed onto me to look visually appealing to the gender of interest and the general public. As a teenager, that’s supposed to be very important. I could say that I don’t care what others think about me, that I am who I am and they can take me or leave me, but then I would be lying. I do care about what people think about me, and I believe everyone does to a certain degree – whether it is your parents, friends, significant other or complete strangers. When it comes to my appearance, I can hardly leave my house without makeup on and I have to be dressed somewhat acceptably. The odd time I will leave my house with pajama bottoms on, but that’s usually when it’s in the wee hours of the night. But, even so, I make sure I have my makeup on and my hair is looking decent. As a woman in today’s society, I am told that I must look a certain way to be acceptable. I have to have long hair and long legs; be skinny and physically fit, but not too fit to the point where I have an all-too-visible six pack; and have a bigger bust and a small waist but a voluptuous backside. I have to wear sexy clothing but be reserved, and my face has to be flawless without the use of makeup. And that’s not even going into detail. Most of the time, girls who have every single one of those aspects have had at least one plastic surgery — that, or they are extremely lucky to have the bloodline they do. As a younger girl, I actually didn’t care what people thought of me. I was the dorkiest little thing you could have seen — I wore boy clothes and oval-shaped glasses, and I had huge buck teeth. I rarely brushed my hair unless my parents did it for me, and I would play outside and get dirty because all I cared about was having fun. I cared about that up until the sixth grade. It wasn’t until I was 13 years of age that I started to pay attention to my appearance, mainly my clothes at that point. I didn’t even start wearing makeup until I was 15 years old. Now, I worry about looking big in my clothing and if my eyelashes are clumpy or not. I wish I still possessed this attribute of carelessness, because now all I do is worry about how others perceive me. I have a younger sister, Emily Westrand, and she is seven years old. I was getting her ready for school one day, and it was taking a lot longer than usual. I was just finishing making her breakfast when I noticed she still wasn’t there at the table. With a frustrated sigh, I stomped off to her room. I was flustered — I’m not much of a morning person — and preparing myself to ask her what the heck she was doing that was taking her so long. Then there I saw her, looking at herself in the mirror playing with her hair and sticking it in every which way possible. “I want to look pretty, how should I wear my hair?” I didn’t think much of it at the time and just rolled my eyes. It wasn’t too long after that ordeal that I had found my sister looking at herself in the mirror with a frown plastered to her face. That day, she didn’t want to go

anywhere because she thought she looked fat. I was sickened by the fact a seven-year-old girl would think like that, and I also felt incredibly guilty. My mother had told me many times prior to that moment that I am my sister’s role model; she watches every step I take and wants nothing more than to be like me. I never really thought of it before, how she actually does try to be like me — she’ll want me to do her makeup and her hair, and she’ll try to dress like me. It only made sense that, when I would complain about looking fat and gross, she would begin to think that of herself. It still hurts me today to think that I caused my sister’s insecurities — I made her aware of these demands society has of women far too early on in her life, and for that I will never be able to forgive myself. It just goes to show that, even though these expectations are made for my age group and older, that we are not the only ones being affected. The younger generation looks up to those older than themselves, and a majority of them want to be like us; that just means that our personal worries are going to become theirs sooner than later, and that thought scares me. Today’s society has expectations that differ from previous generations’ expectations, and they are not only affecting me, an 18-year-old female, but they are preying on an innocent seven-year-old girl and her self-esteem.

COUPLE DONATES $250,000 TO SASKATOON CITY HOSPITAL FOUNDATION Doctor and nurse attribute success to hospital

Jack Haver recently donated $250,000 to the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation in honour of his late wife, Pat.

Dr. Jack Haver has a great reason for donating $250,000 to Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation on his late wife’s behalf. “We’ve always believed in doing something for people who helped us. There were many at Saskatoon City Hospital who did.” Jack partially trained at Saskatoon City Hospital while Pat Haver graduated from its School of Nursing. “We’re so grateful because the hospital was a big part of our success,” he says.

Jack and Pat Haver were married in 1946.

The couple met in high school. After graduation, Pat went to nursing school while Jack got his BA and applied for the College of Medicine. “It was 1945 and I couldn’t get in because spots were reserved for soldiers returning from World War II.” Jack became a teacher (B.Ed 1947) instead and then a grain seller. The couple lived in Tisdale, North Battleford and North Dakota while their family grew to six. His life-long dream came true when he applied to medicine again, in 1955, and was accepted. Jack graduated in 1960 and accepted a sixmonth, temporary position in Wynyard. The family loved it there – Jack and Pat remained in the community until he retired in 1997. While becoming both grandparents and great grandparents 10 times, they enjoyed traveling, especially cruises. They were fortunate to see every continent. Other than missing his wife and partner of 70 years, Jack has no regrets. “I’d do it all over again.” In touching tribute, Jack directed the $250,000 to the Breast Health Centre, specifically for purchase of a 3D mammography unit. Because Pat had a breast removed due to cancer Jack is happy to help others facing breast health concerns. Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation thanks Jack, Pat and the Haver family for their generous Jack and Pat Haver in 2013, shortly before Pat donation. passed away.

million on roadways this year, but why is all the work done at once? Mayor Atchison: One of the reasons is the construction season is so short, about five months. One of the major projects this summer is Warman Road/Wanuskewin Road resurfacing from Primrose to Marquis Drive. Someone asked, “Why are you doing that while the University Bridge is under construction?” A lot of people told us that our roads need work. That’s why it is going ahead. In some cases one lane will be open while they are doing the work. A couple of intersections may have to close during the work. We have heard loud and clear from citizens they want better roads. This year the City will repave approximately 200 lane kilometres. That is about the distance from Saskatoon to Emma Lake. Last year we paved 200 lane kilometres and repaired approximately 188,000 potholes. There is a lot of work going on to get our roads in better shape. Clarification from Mayor Atchison: I want to clarify a response about the PotashCorp Kinsmen Park. The park is slated

to open in mid-July. Last fall Cary Humphrey from the City’s Leisure Services Department told reporters the park would open in May of this year. I am told there have been delays, so the opening has been pushed into the summer.

When soils are healthy, economies grow. 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. The better their citizens can eat. The more jobs they can create. And the more competitively they can trade. So you see, the soil nutrients we produce help grow more than just crops. They help grow economies. As a result, they help us nourish human potential. Potashcorp.com/Nourish

Race for the Cure set for Marquis Downs Beth Jarrell Saskatoon Express

he worlds of cancer research and thoroughbred racing may not seem to be connected, but Annette and Perry Pellerin are trying to change that. On June 19, the Pellerins and their Pink Cloud Racing Stable will be holding their fifth annual barbecue and Race for the Cure, with proceeds going to Saskatoon City Hospital. The event invites cancer patients, their families and caregivers to enjoy an evening of racing. “Our thoroughbreds give their full heart when they’re running. We want to do the same,” Annette Pellerin said. “So we thought to ourselves, ‘How can we give back?’ ” Pellerin hopes the event will not only raise funds for cancer research, but also provide a venue to raise awareness about breast cancer by talking about it with those who most know about it. “We’re hoping to provide a break for the patients to do something different in a new venue. Even the volunteers, they may need something different to do, something fun, and that’s what we’re trying to accomplish.” Proceeds for the evening will go to the Breast Wellness Centre at City Hospital. Last year the event raised $2,500. This year, Pellerin hopes to double it. “They’re just a little short of money for a new digital mammogram JW15423.F08 James machine. It takes

$800,000 to afford it, so we’re hoping to raise a little to support that,” Pellerin said. “(The machine) is not only for women, but for also for men, so they can detect the smallest of tumours. The earliest detection means everyone has a really good chance,” she said. “Both my side of the family and Perry’s have had increasing numbers of diagnoses with breast cancer, so it’s a cause very close to us.” In addition to raising funds for research, the barbecue, an all-ages event, will provide people with the opportunity to “own a horse” for the evening, and try their hand at betting. “Everyone gets their name drawn and assigned a horse — if your horse wins, you go to the feature race, and if your horse wins that you get a $50 voucher for a bet in the last race.” The fundraiser gives Pink Cloud an opportunity to educate those new to the world of horse racing. “We’re doing this in part to promote Marquis Downs. So many people have no idea that Saskatoon has a thoroughbred race track and no idea where it is located,” she said. “A lot of people would like to go, but have no idea what to do or even how to place a bet … and we’re happy to provide some of that information with this event.” Pellerin and her husband have been regulars at Marquis Downs since they were married nearly 35 years ago. She says it’s a great way for young families to enjoy time

Critical Choice is the face of Pink Cloud Racing Stable’s Race for the Cure (Photo Supplied) together in an inexpensive way. The Pellerins opened Dark Cloud Racing Stables 12 years ago. Pink Cloud, a subsidiary of Dark Cloud, was formed shortly thereafter. “Six years ago, we talked about branching out. I said, ‘You know, it would be really something if we could start a stable and help raise money to go towards cancer research,’ ” she said. “My husband agreed, so we claimed a horse named Critical Choice, and I’m thinking, ‘Isn’t that just kind of fate,’ ” she said. “It’s a critical choice to go in and see the doctor and make sure you’re taking care

Rider fans encouraged to Bleed Green

he Saskatchewan Roughriders are tackling the need for blood this football season, because every 60 seconds in Canada someone needs blood to survive. Last week, as part of their new Pass it On initiative, the team kicked off Bleed Green season six. The Bleed Green partnership between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Canadian Blood Services encourages fans across the province to donate blood during the football season. Since 2010, the partnership has brought in more than 8,600 blood donations at Saskatchewan blood donor clinics. “Bleed Green and our partnership with Canadian Blood Services is near and dear to the Roughrider organization and Rider Nation at large. There are very few causes that have as direct of a link to saving lives as the simple act of giving blood,” Gregg Sauter, vice-president of business development for the Roughriders, said in a news release. “We are excited to announce another year of this great partnership and we encourage all of Rider Nation to rally behind this great cause which truly saves lives.” Every month of the 2015 football season, Canadian Blood Services needs to collect more than 4,500 donations from

We strongly encourage people to come out and see what we’re all about,” she said. “If you happen to be at Marquis Downs that night, please pop in and consider donating.”

Saskatchewan blood donors to help hospital patients like 13-year-old Nolan Enns, who was diagnosed with leukemia this year. Without blood transfusions, Nolan would not be strong enough to continue his treatment. “As a family, we are very thankful for the generosity of those that gave the gift of blood so that Nolan can continue on with his cancer treatments,” his father, Chris, said in the release. “We are also thankful for organizations such as Canadian Blood Services who connect the dots and make it happen.” To Bleed Green, fans can attend any blood donor clinic in Saskatchewan during the regular season and be entered to win the chance to be a flag bearer at a Roughrider home game. Fans also have the chance to win a grand prize consisting of pre-game sideline passes and Pilsner Place box seats at the final home game of the season. Ballots for this prize will only be available at the Rider Store and at the Canadian Blood Services tent when it is set up at community events. Bleed Green runs until Oct. 15, 2015.

Art Trek 2015 Take a look at where artists work

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

n annual event that has artists opening their studios to the public helps demystify what goes on in those spaces, says a local painter. “People are just fascinated,” said Nicki Ault, who paints at The Studio On 20th. “I think they feel sort of like the whole artistic world is demystified a little bit or something. Not that galleries aren’t wonderful — they’re a great place to go and visit — but some people are a little bit intimidated in that setting.” In contrast, the studios are welcoming spaces where members of the public are invited to visit, look around, watch demonstrations and interact with the artists. “It’s down-to-earth; it’s where the work is happening. We’re wearing our work clothes. The studios aren’t cleaned up to look like a show. They’re meant to look like the workspaces as they are day-to-day, and people just really find it fascinating and they like to see the work taking place,” said Ault. “It’s kind of like they feel like it’s a little scavenger hunt almost, finding all the different locations. They’re a little bit out of the way, some of them, and they have to kind of hunt to find them.” Ault is a committee member with Art Trek 2015, which will be held on June 12 and June 13. It’s the fourth year for the event, which began in 2012 with five studios and has since grown to include nine studios and between 60 to 70 artists. “I think when the five studios got together, the goals were to educate the public

on artists’ workspaces, because these aren’t places that are normally open to the public — and it’s kind of where the work happens,” she said. “We wanted to educate the public that these places existed, and it’s nothing magical or fanciful. It’s just a normal, hardworking space where artists do set up their practices and get down to business. “We also wanted to find kind of a new way to expose ourselves to the public. Because we do all have our own open studios at different times of the year where we invite friends and family, we thought, ‘Well, there’s got to be another way to get to new people and different people and introduce them to what we’re doing.’ So it seemed like something like this could be a good way to do that.” Art Trek attendees can embark on selfguided tours of the various artists’ studios, which are mainly clustered in the Riversdale and Broadway areas. Pieces created by painters, potters, sculptors, textile artists, weavers, blacksmiths and glass artists will be on display, and attendees will be able to watch demonstrations. New this year will be live stone carving by a stonemason. “We’re pretty excited about that addition,” said Ault. Another new addition is BAM, or Bridges Art Movement, on 20th Street West. “They’re a really young, vibrant group of artists. They paint, but they also do a lot of more installation-type artwork,” said Ault. “There’s going to be some really interesting, different things happening this year

Nicki Ault paints at The Studio On 20th (Photo by Shannon Boklaschuk) during the tour,” she added. Art Trek has grown and become busier every year. Organizers estimate that about 1,000 to 1,500 people attended in 2014. Ault said the committee hopes to continue Art Trek into the future, and discussions are already underway for the fifth annual event in 2016. “We really just felt like it would be a great addition to the cultural and artistic fabric of Saskatoon. There’s a lot that happens in this city and this, we thought, could be another new and different idea,” she said. Art Trek 2015 runs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, June 12, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 13.

Award-winning comedian headlines Care for Kids event Beth Jarrell Saskatoon Express emini Award winner Shaun Majumder will headline the fourth Wiegers Care for Kids event on June 13 at O’Brians Event Centre. The event is a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. Majumder is an award-winning comedian and actor. He spent more than 10 years as a cast member on This Hour Has 22 Minutes. He has also hosted the Just for Laughs television series. “He ranks as a top Canadian in terms of comedy, and we felt like he’s a great match to the audience that we have,” event organizer Deb Wiegers said. Previous entertainers have been Rick Mercer, Brent Butt and Carrie Catherine. In addition to Majumder, the event — known as CabaRaise — will also feature some local talent. “We’re also going to have a cabaret, and (local band) Studio 54 will be performing,” Wiegers said. “We’ve also got a couple of surprises lined up. It’ll be very different from last year.” The event begins at 7 p.m., with Majumder taking the stage at 8:15 p.m. There will be a 12:30 a.m. after-party with a cash bar. People are encouraged to dress in red and black, with as much burlesque flair as they choose. This year’s presentation has a Moulin Rouge theme, designed by Wiegers herself. “When we say it’s a theme, we’re serious — you can dress up and you feel totally in place. . . . Everyone just has a lot of fun,” she said. Held every two years since 2009, the first three events raised more than $325,000 for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. “This is our last push,” Wiegers said. “It’s always the last few dollars that are the toughest ones, but the comJW15317.F08 James munity has been exceptional.

I’ve had to experience being in emergency pediatrics with my kids a couple of times, and it really opens your eyes – like, ‘Really, this is all we have?’ I think we need a better place for kids.” Wiegers Care for Kids was founded by Deb and Cliff Wiegers in 2009. CabaRaise is expected to raise at least $250,000, bringing the four-event total to almost $600,000. Last year’s event raised $176,000. “If it weren’t for the community, this wouldn’t be pos-

This will be something that people have never done before. “You really have to experience it to understand it, and that feeling that you get when you say that you’ve helped somebody. That’s what it’s all about. That’s huge.” To learn more about the Wiegers Care for Kids CabaRaise, donate to the foundation or to buy tickets, go to www.wiegerscareforkids.ca.

Parish nursing conference set

egan McKenna, an internationally known author, theologian and storyteller, will be among the special guests at the Canadian Association for Parish Nursing annual conference in Saskatoon from June 11 to June 14. McKenna, originally from New York, fits well into the conference’s theme, Ethnic Diversity, having worked and lectured in North and South America, Europe, Australia, China, Thailand and the Philippines, among many continents and countries. Other keynote speakers will be Archbishop Emeritus Sylvain, formerly in the Keewatin-LaPas Roman Catholic diocese, and Rev. Al Tote, a Lutheran pastor who was born and raised in Cameroon. Events will take place at the Queen’s

House of Retreats in Saskatoon. The wind-up banquet will be open to the public. The parish nursing ministry is strongest in Ontario. It gained a foothold in Saskatoon in 2003 through the leadership of Deb Bauche and Ethna Martin at St. Philip Neri parish. Saskatoon is hosting the conference for a third time. Parish nursing emphasizes the wholeness of body, mind and spirit. The role of the nurses is to provide advocacy, counselling and education in health as well as being a source of resource referrals. Its conferences will appeal to those who are in the clergy, the nursing community, lay workers or health committee members. For more information, visit www.capnm.ca.

Edge of destruction Racing still a rush for veteran driver Jim Gaunt has been racing — and winning — for more than three decades on Saskatoon’s stock car scene (Photo by Darren Steinke) Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express im Gaunt has been the model of consistency in the ever-evolving Saskatoon stock car racing scene. The 60-year-old has been driving in the super late model class, which was originally known as the super stock class, since 1980. He has won 13 class championships in the Saskatoon Stock Car Racing Association (SSCRA), with the first title coming in 1984 and the last in 2011. Gaunt never envisioned he would be racing for more than three and a half decades. He thought would have parked his car for the last time about 10 years ago. “It is just a bad habit,” said Gaunt. “The car is out here, and it is there to be used. I really haven’t been into the cabin go-tothe-lake thing ever. I haven’t played ball. This has been our hobby. “I have been able to be healthy enough to stick with it. I’ve been able to keep some really good sponsors with me over the years.” Change played a part in keeping Gaunt in the sport, especially for the last 10 years. He was heavily involved in the committee that saw the construction of the Auto Clearing Motor Speedway,

which opened in 2006. The new track became necessary when, in 1999, the City of Saskatoon advised the SSCRA it would be annexing the land that the Bridge City Speedway sat on. As a result of that development, a new track had to be built. “To build it and then race on it, it was a good deal,” said Gaunt. “It is such a nice track; that is what has kept me around the last few years. It is one of the nicest tracks there is to drive on.” A couple of years ago, Gaunt bought a new car, which is currently housed inside a 2015 Impala SS body. That purchase also stoked the competitive fires. “It is the best and fastest car I have ever had,” said Gaunt. “I really enjoy driving this one.” The Impala with the fibreglass body, combined with a 350 motor, is light years ahead of the first car Gaunt ever raced, and about 10 times more expensive. In the present day, super late model race cars can be purchased for $50,000 new, and between $15,000 and $20,000 used. Back in 1980, Gaunt started running laps on the third-mile oval at the Bridge City Speedway driving a 1966 Chevelle that once belonged to Ron Just. Before

racing, Gaunt used to help Just out with the car. The old Chevelle had a steel body, a 283 motor and a roll cage that was driver built. Roll cages now come ready to be installed. The first car also didn’t have any custom components made just for racing in the super late model class, where the cars are pretty much mirror images of those seen in NASCAR races. While the cars have vastly improved, Gaunt said the actual art of racing hasn’t changed. “The competition is still the same,” said Gaunt. “It is still the same principle. You get to the front first and stay there. “We built our own cars back then, and I was kind of interested in doing that part of it. The driving is what really got me. That is the exciting part.” Gaunt never won a feature race or a class title in the old Chevelle. It was replaced in 1984, when he purchased a car that was originally used for dirt track racing in Montana. It was modified to be driven at the Bridge City Speedway and was housed in a 1980 Camaro body built from aluminum and plastic. The Camaro was Gaunt’s first

car to contain racing specific components. With the Camaro, 1984 was a banner year for Gaunt, who claimed his first feature race victory and the super stock class title. “At the time, it was a big deal,” said Gaunt about his first class championship. “We had some good competition, so we figured we accomplished something. The first one was probably the best one, looking back over the years. It took a lot of hard work, and, at the time, we spent at the time quite a bit of money. It is nice to see a little return. ” Another thing that hasn’t changed over the years is the adrenaline rush Gaunt gets while racing. When he first started, he was wired and excited before a race, He is a lot calmer now. “I used to really get worked up before a race,” said Gaunt. “It is not that big of deal now. Once you are in and you get the green flag to go, you are on the edge of destruction the whole time you are on the track. It is pretty intense.” Gaunt has also raced in just over a half dozen other locations, including Regina, Calgary, Kalispell, Mont., Wetaskiwin, Alta., Medicine Hat and Moose Jaw. He finds racing at the Auto Clearing Motor Speedway still tops driving at the facilities in any of those other centres. His first feature win at the new Saskatoon track, which is a three-eighth mile paved oval, came in its inaugural 2006 campaign in a 150-lap race. Gaunt also won an invitation race that season, which include 30 out-of-town competitors. Those wins hold a special place in Gaunt’s heart. This season, he is looking forward to running in four special Sky Financial super late model series races at the local oval, where the feature races will be 150 laps in length. The first of those events is set for July 4. Gaunt also sees a lot of familiar people on the home course, including his longtime pit crew members in Roger Carriere, and his daughter, Stacy Love. The standout racer has also seen a couple of generations of children grow up at the track. “I’ve seen these kids, little rats, running around the pits, and now they are good racers,” said Gaunt. “There are grandfathers racing and sons and grandsons. We’ve had three generations racing at the same time.” The veteran laughs at the notion that he may race for another decade. Gaunt plans to compete for about another couple of years and then decide if he will continue or walk away. While he has been a lifer on the local stock car scene, Gaunt can actually imagine the day when he would no longer be racing. “I can be really lazy,” he said with a laugh. “I have no problem with just puttering around. “I will probably be involved with the track still one way or another. I would assume I won’t be able to drive too much longer.”

Remember, golf is a fun and social outing. Nobody will be looking at your score but the laughs and a good walk will be enjoyed for weeks and even years to come. Come out and give it a try.

Selfish to seek relationship even with wife’s approval

LIANNE TREGOBOV

Matchmaker Dear Lianne, I am married and want to be upfront with you about that. My relationship is a little messed up at the moment, and I have been given permission to seek out a partner while things get sorted out. The situation is simple, but confusing. My wife was injured and is on the mend, but the mending period is long and and cannot include any sexual activity. We discussed things and I have been given a pass, but a discreet pass. We are both somewhat public people, so we set out a few rules. One is that I must be discreet to protect our identities, and two is that although she knows, she does not want to know.

I just want to be completely upfront about that. I get that it may not be what you accept, but at least I am going to be honest with you – because most men will not be. — Him Dear Him, Your story is going to cause quite a buzz around town.

My body just responded to it.” If you have never seen Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly live, be warned: bring hankies. It’s one of the most performed operas in the world, among the top 10 ever written, and it is, to put it mildly, a moving story. However, this is Saskatoon Opera’s — and therefore Saskatoon’s — first full performance of the acclaimed work. Director Marilyn Gronsdal is putting an interesting spin on the staging, unlike anything artistic director Barbara Montalbetti has ever seen or heard of. “I feel a real affinity towards her artistic vision and I think she’s brilliant,” said Montalbetti in an interview. Julia Jamison, professor in the University of Saskatchewan drama department and a trained opera singer, is co-directing due to a short rehearsal period, said Montalbetti. “We are very excited that we have a person in this community who is wanting this challenge that ties into her strengths.” Also setting this production apart is the uniquely intimate Persephone Theatre. “Our productions are unlike most other opera productions,” said Montalbetti. Audiences can see the actors’ faces, body language and nuances. “It’s a very different opera experience from other opera companies.” It’s also a mixture of major Canadian names and local talent, she noted. Michele Capalbo is an established Adam Luther sings the role of Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly (Photo Supplied) artist at all the major opera companies in Canada. Luther is a rising star.

This class is a blast – literally

By Lesley Porter ot a lot of U of S classes have “properties and theories of explosives” listed in the syllabus. In fact, the only one might be Donna Beneteau’s fourth-year geological engineering class on drilling, blasting and excavation. Beneteau, a mine engineer with extensive experience in the private sector, has done her fair share of blasting. She came to the University of Saskatchewan in 2011 to work as a research engineer in the rock mechanics lab, located in the basement of the Geology Building. Last year, she started teaching the drill, blast and excavate course to an eager classroom of would-be engineers. The course is part of the mining degree option soon to be available for geological engineers (other mining options will be available in the chemical and mechanical engineering programs). During the course design phase, the College of Engineering consulted with industry stakeholders to determine their needs on the recruitment side. Beneteau recalled one such meeting held with representatives from Saskatchewan mining companies for input. “I think there were nine or 10 mining companies,” she said. “They sent their technical people. We met in a classroom and said, ‘So what do you want us to teach?’ ” That input is evident in the title. The

class was originally going be just drilling and blasting, but given the role potash plays in the province’s mining and minerals sector, excavation was added to the title as well. “I think industry’s the best teacher,” said Beneteau, adding that besides the classroom and lab work component, the class also plays host to guest lecturers from the blasting industry. But the most exciting aspect of the course, hands down, is the day-long rockblasting lab held near the end of the term. The class members travel to a rock quarry just outside of Dundurn and, working in groups, use the various blasting methods and techniques covered in class. “It’s one of those things you have to experience,” she said, “that you would never be able to, in a classroom, explain just by looking at pictures.” Joining them is Leonard Banga, owner of Xtreme Mining and Demolition in Saskatoon, who has more than 20 years’ experience blasting in Canadian potash, diamond and gold mines. In the six-hour-long blasting lab, tubes of explosives are put into holes drilled in rocks. Besides just blowing up things, the students learn the proper safety techniques for handling explosive materials (such as dynamite and nitroglycerine) and how to create time delays that are more effective

Donna Beneteau in her rock lab at the University of Saskatchewan (Photo by Lesley Porter) at blasting larger rocks, a technique widely used in the mining industry. They are taught to assess the type of rock they are blasting as well as its condition, because each reacts differently. Beneteau recalled a day in the field when Banga drilled holes into one large rock (“about the size of a desk,” she said) with the intent to blast a small section of it. However, the rock was dry and had a

fracture running through it, and the one minor explosion turned the entire rock into a pile of gravel. Despite the occasional misfire, the class has been a huge hit with students, she said. “At the end of the last stone lab, one of the students said as they were leaving, ‘That was my best day of school ever.’ ” (Lesley Potter is a U of S communications writer.)
