Black Fox
Distillery receives international recognition Barbara Stefanyshyn-Coté and John Coté, who was unavailable for the photo, have turned a vision into a reality on their 80 acres on Valley Road. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)
Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express erched on a rise overlooking Valley Road, the view from Black Fox Farm and Distillery must be among the most pastorally beautiful in the local area. On 80 acres, fruits and grains grow in profusion. Flowers are everywhere — dozens of varieties of them — that find their way into wedding bouquets and local florists’ shops. Inside, a gleaming distillery turns the JW082905 James crops into spirits, including vodka, gin and
P
liqueur. Parties are hosted, and tourists stop by to take a tour and taste the spirituous bounty. This is not your usual dryland crop farm, nor market garden. It’s the vision of John Coté and Barbara Stefanyshyn-Coté, who have combined tourism with an unusual mix of crops and proprietary hard drink in an agricultural setting. They started the planting and building six years ago, but the distillery just began producing a year ago in June. So it is somewhat remarkable that Black Fox
was awarded three medals last week at the International Wine and Spirits Awards in London, England. Black Fox was awarded a silver medal in the liqueur category for its honey ginger liqueur, another silver in the gin and tonic category, and a bronze for contemporary style gin. The Cotés were not interested in entering just any competition. In a sense, medals are a dime a dozen; anyone can start up or compete in an awards program. The IWSA, however, has some heft and credibility.
“We entered this award program because people said it was one of the legitimate ones. I’ve never been a believer of doing something and putting a label on it for marketing purposes,” said John Coté in an interview. “We were looking for actual feedback.” Unsurprisingly, he and his wife are “extremely excited. You go into some of these things and you’re hoping everything works out well. “I think we should be fairly happy with the way things are going.” (Continued on page 9)

Peters passionate about KidSport Ned Powers Saskatoon Express arry Peters is a former National Hockey League player who is passionate about KidSport. He grew up in Regina’s not-so-wellto-do North Central district and talked his way, as an eight-year-old, into registering for a Regina Pats Saturday morning instructional league which was meant to be for 10-year-olds. “That was my first chance to skate in the Pats organization,” recalled Peters, who eventually played junior with the Pats and played in the NHL with Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers and Boston Bruins. “Today I know that KidSport is the way that children can learn teamwork, dedication and responsibility through sport. If families can’t provide the financial assistance for their children to be in sports, we can help. “If I knew children were being kept out of sports because their families couldn’t afford it, that would break my heart.” Peters has been a major fundraiser for KidSport in Saskatoon. He and Rich Pilon, another former NHLer, lent their names to a celebrity golf tournament and it has been a ticket to success. In 11 years of tournaments, more than $1 million has been raised, with this July’s profit of between $175,000 and $180,000 pushing the dollar count past the magic mark. Peters played a little against Gordie Howe in the NHL, and he was able to talk Marty Howe into bringing his dad and

Garry Peters has called on his NHL friends to help raise $1 million for KidSport in 11 years. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) about 220 autographed books for a tournament in 2007. He talked two former Montreal Canadiens teammates, Henri Richard and Yvan Cournoyer, into appearing in 2010. He approached five of his friends from the Philadelphia Flyers into headlining in 2011. Over the years, there have also been appearances by Lanny McDonald, Bobby Hull, Terry O’Reilly, Gerry Cheevers, Bryan Trottier, Billy Smith, Clark Gillies, Wendel Clark and Darryl Sittler. It is also amazing to have a friend like Mike Babcock, now coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who turned this year’s tournament into a tour-de-force. “Mike played in a couple of the early tournaments and has been back to Sas-
katchewan to help a variety of causes for the last several years. He promised he’d help us. His family was at Emma Lake, my family was at Christopher Lake, and I just kept making the connections and pushing his buttons,” said Peters. With an eye on NHL coaching celebrities and with Babcock’s help, Peters secured Willie Desjardins (Vancouver), Glen Gulutzan (Calgary), Mike Johnston (formerly of Pittsburgh) and Dave King (an advisor at Phoenix). Babcock, who coached Canada’s last two Olympic champions and will coach Canada in September’s World Cup, then brought some surprises to the KidSport table.

The World Cup coaches, including Barry Trotz, Claude Julien and Joel Quenneville, were holding meetings in Kelowna the day before the golf tournament, so Babcock chartered an airplane and brought them to Saskatoon. “They are, no doubt, four of the world’s best hockey coaches,” said Peters. The four coaches landed at the airport and were transported to the Saskatoon Minor Football Field. There they had lunch with 60 inner-city children, did a series of interviews with Sportsnet and then headed for Dakota Dunes, home of the evening’s banquet and the next day’s tournament.

SHAKESPEARE July 6 to Aug. 21 It’s a sign of confidence and being able to make decisions well in advance when artistic director Will Brooks used the last night of this year’s Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival to announce the two primary choices for 2017. One will be the classic comedy Twelfth Night, and the other will be Richard III, a tragedy. Brooks says there is no other character like Richard III in Shakespeare’s writings and “at our festival, it’s only been done once before, so it only comes around every 17 years.” The final gate numbers this year were 11,349. Brooks says the 2016 crowds were up nine per cent from last year, a little short of the amazing 2014 numbers but four per cent over the five-year average.

The main offerings were A Midsummer Night’s dream and J Caesar, an adaptation, plus the bonus of the Roving Show. When the festival was launched in a tent by the river in 1985, it was an unpredictable vision. Now it is a real success story, most notably in entertainment values and creating work for actors in what normally might be their off-season. Brooks says the responses from the last three years “make us feel confident about our future.” FRINGE FESTIVAL Aug. 3 to Aug. 12 The PotashCorp Fringe Festival was again a success, with organizers estimating that 12,000 attended theatre presentations, and about 55,000 roamed the Broadway Avenue area. The biggest winner was With Glowing Hearts, a story about the wives of gold miners who changed the Canadian labour movement in the 1940s. It was called Best of the Fest by its box office counts. It was a triumph for Jennifer Wynne Webber, a playwright now located on Vancouver Island, but who previously had Saskatoon theatre connections with Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. Companies pay for spaces in the festivals and then charge $14 a ticket for each performance. The beauty of it all is that the Fringe not only becomes a theatrical feast, it is also a marketing tool. People in lineups to a play are often greeted by actors pitching their product, and that can be an enlightening process as well. THE EX Aug. 9 to Aug. 14 Attendance for the six-day fair was 210,055, which was about one per cent higher than 2015, but short of the all-time record which is just beyond 220,000. Pure and simple, it was the story of the weather. “We had rain or the threat of rain every day,” said Kristy Rempel, the marketing manager. “The people kept waiting for the closing weekend.

Not desperate nor dateless
Dear Lianne, I’ve heard about you and your Camelot Introductions. I’m just wondering who would ever think about paying to meet someone. I bet you get all the ones who can’t find a date on their own. Really I would like to know who hires you and if I like what I hear maybe I will hire you too. – Moe
Dear Moe, I have been a Matchmaker for over twenty two years. My clients all have a few things very much in common. Each of them are looking for love, are non-smokers and have had a criminal record check. They can afford the luxury of having us conduct the search and screening for them. Our service costs eight hundred dollars and attracts people who are gainfully employed or comfortably retired. I
work with people in their twenties to nineties. Love doesn’t go out of style. Many people come to me because they are not interested in online dating. They have met friends of friends. They are often private and many times known in the community. Many have had friends find love through us. We live in a busy world and very often hire professionals to do what they do best to lessen the load on themselves and achieve their goals.
People hire real estate agents, cleaning personnel, accountants, and matchmakers. I meet with each individual personally and create a profile that is utilized in the matching process. I have matched thousands of amazing people over the years. As a matter of fact, I will be attending my clients wedding in Saskatoon in the middle of the month. They are young, busy professionals who chose to hire me to find their life partners and I did just that.
Feel free to call me at 306-978-5683 to start your search for love.
I have been happily uniting couples for the past 22 years. I am gifted with intuition that has set Camelot Introductions apart from others. I will be in Saskatoon September 15-18 interviewing new clients who are looking for love. Call now to book your interview with me 306-978-LOVE(5683) Email questions to: camelotintroductions@mymts.net Paid Advertisement

Coaches matched auction donations
(Continued from page 3) here was a pre-dinner session, where stations were set up so that each coach would get eight minutes with a group at each table. After eight minutes Peters blew a whistle, and the coaches moved from station to station. Each coach eventually made contact at every table. Before the main dinner, Peters announced an auction to have patrons bid to have a member of Babcock’s staff to sit at their table. “Barry was up first, and during the process he said he’d match whatever money was raised in the bidding for him. Claude, Joel and Mike did the same. By the end of bidding, the coaches had contributed a total of $20,000 out of their own pockets. It was unbelievable. “Yes, we contributed towards some airfare and hotel rooms, but each member of Babcock’s staff didn’t take a fee for their services. They knew the value of KidSport. Barry and Claude both told me they’d never seen an event where the coaches were so socially involved.” The celebrity tournament is driven by star power. Dan Demchenko of Boston Pizza once attended a tournament in honour of Andy Moog in Kelowna, came back to Saskatoon and encouraged Peters to start the one here. Rick King, a real estate developer, phoned his brother, Ken, owner of the Calgary Flames, and he sent a $25,000 cheque to get the ball rolling. The Flames were title sponsors for three years, and the Kings still lend their support. Herb Pinder Sr. golfed in the tournament over the years. When he died a year ago, he asked his sons to make a $25,000 donation in 2016 and for each of the next two years. Many ex-players play annually — such
as Ed Van Impe, Dave Manson, Fred Saskamoose, Gregg Sheppard, Gerry Pinder, Bill Orban, Tim Cheveldae and Colby Armstrong, as well as current NHLers such as Josh Manson, Dwight King and Darcy Kuemper. Dakota Dunes has been a major player, not only with the golf services, but in having a banquet room which can accommodate 400 people. The tournament has regularly been a sell-out. There’s a continuing tradition in the Peters family, with son Marty serving as tournament chair this summer. For all, KidSport is the driving force. “When a family needs financial help to have their children play, they start by filling out an application which goes before an allocation committee of 10 people. The first year I was involved in KidSport, we allotted $2,500. Now the annual total, thanks to a number of fundraisers, is $350,000. All the teachers know what we do. They know the children who need help. We also have six dream brokers, who go to inner city schools, seek out children who want to play and then go visit their parents to talk them into joining the program. “The money goes directly into the community team. It is mostly for registration fees, some equipment is available at an equipment bank, and we try to get the kids to the games and home again.” KidSport is funded by Saskatchewan Lotteries, the office staff is paid out of lottery money, and the bottom line, said Peters, “is that every dollar we spend goes right into the programs for the kids.” The mission statement for KidSport Saskatchewan is that “no kid should be left on the sidelines.” KidSport signage says “one in three kids can’t afford the cost of organized sport – let’s change that!”

multiple times) and the free admission of children. Rau hailed the heightened interest in diversity, which included a new venue at Prairieland Park where participants from Nepal, Peru, Sudan and Vietnam combined their efforts. The best locations are within Prairieland Park where the Caribbean, Greek, Filipino, Scottish and Ukrainian pavilions are housed. They are long-time tenants who pay high rent but achieve high rewards. Being next door to each other is a huge bonus. The German pavilion is the unique combination of outdoor and indoor offerings. Among the missing this year were pavilions run by the Irish, French, Hungarian, Jewish and Brazilian communities. They were missed. Take away the concentration at Prairieland, and the other pavilions were left somewhat isolated. Rau expects a full contingent for next year’s celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday.

(Continued from page 6) ou go through the process and hit one shot at a time. My motto is ‘one more birdie,’ so if I make one, I want to make another one and another one.” Janson’s motto is stitched on the front of his golf shirts. He put an eagle on his card on the second day — a hole-in-one at Xena No. 4 at the Willows. “I knew it was a good shot and was going to be really close just the way the hole was. Two of us had hit it close, and we drove up and saw only one ball. So we knew one was in the hole, and the other person was close. I was fortunate enough toDC082904 be the one inDarlene the hole.”
It was the second ace of his career, with the first coming way back in 1988. “This one means a lot more coming in a tournament when it matters.” It did matter a whole lot with Bird finishing just one shot back. With a limited amount of play this year, Janson doesn’t have high expectations going to the nationals — Sept. 6 to Sept. 9 in Niagra Falls. Shooting a 30 on nine holes is highly unlikely. “I just don’t want to embarrass myself, because I don’t know what kind of game I will have from day to day until my hip gets better. I would like to make the cut and play all four rounds.” The other members of the Saskatchewan team are Bird and Ken Rodgers of Regina.

Making ‘cool stuff’ the Cotés’ priority
(Continued from page 1) Distilling the fruits of their labours When creating their spirits, the Cotés start from the very ground up. They start by growing the grain, and everything proceeds from there. It’s rare for prairie distilleries to start from scratch. “We don’t bring in any prepared spirits. It’s very common in our industry to buy a prepared spirit and then redistill it and modify it in some way. Basically, it’s repackaging.” But distilling really emerged from the Cotés primary skill: farming. “Between my wife and I, we’ve farmed or done agriculture activities on every continent except Africa,” said John Coté. “That’s our expertise; it’s not distilling. So you play to your strengths. Our strength is being able to know plant breeders in the province and say ‘OK, when you were working on this, did you have any varieties that are better for distilling than others?’ And they say, ‘Oh yes — you should try this one because it has better flavour profiles.’ “The whole reason we’re there is to make cool stuff; it’s not to make a lot of stuff.” The still originally went up to turn their raspberries and haskaps into alcohol. They began to make the foundational spirits to accommodate the fruits. “How do you process a bunch of fruit? It’s either make a bunch of pies and go to the farmers market, or you make wine, or you can make liqueurs.” The still was custom-made in Germany, “and it’s unique in that we can make any kind of distillate out of it,” added Coté. “We’ve made a little bit of brandy because we end up with honey (from the bees providing pollination) at the end of the year that is not of good enough quality to put on the shelves as honey. So we make a mead out of that and get a brandy. “You can make just about anything you want. It’s very cool. It’s a very neat piece of equipment.” They really stumbled into making gin, inspired by their flower operation. There are many botanicals that can go into a gin, and the Cotés “ended up creating some good recipes fairly quickly.” Black Fox’s product outlier, in a sense, is whiskey. It is produced from oats, which is the only spirit crop not produced on the farm. The Cotes buy the oats toasted from a Regina company. “It goes into barrels to be sold by my children when I’m an old man,” said Coté. Speaking of their children, all of them have been involved in the farm. “My wife does all the farming part; I do all the distilling part. In the summer we have 11 staff, because a lot of it — especially in the cut flower business — is very labour intensive.” They grow about seven acres and 250 varieties of flowers. AS082901 Aaron“And of course we
have a flower u-pick, where people come out and pick buckets of flowers.” In the beginning . . . and today When the Cotés moved onto the Valley Road farm, the land hadn’t been farmed in years and years. “The first year was cleaning everything up, installing irrigation from the river . . . then we started building buildings. It was five years of very intense activity in order to get the doors open because it ends up being a very complex business,” said Coté. They have incorporated a lot of environmental aspects, including a water recycling system, he added. “It takes a long time to install that kind of infrastructure.” They had been living in South America and had come back to Canada to return to grain farming near Leask. But they realized the ‘next generation’ farm would be difficult to run where they were located — where schools and hospitals were closing. “And we really liked people. You can go for a long time grain farming and not talk to anybody,” said Coté. “So we decided to move closer to the city because we saw more opportunity farming close to an urban population — and you’re very connected to the customer, which we enjoyed. And if the children want to come back, it’s very easy.” It has also allowed them to transform the location into a tourist destination and to educate people about farming. “One of the parts we really enjoy doing is talking to people about farming. When we say we make vodka out of triticale, they say, triti . . . what? “You explain it’s a cross between wheat and rye, that was originally done 200 years ago. Then you talk about plant breeding and all that sort of stuff. “It’s just starting. This is our first summer open to tourists. There’s something to learn every day.” To get to Black Fox, Living Sky Limousines offers services to the distillery and farm. Samples can be tasted six days a week, year-round. People also come for flower-arranging classes, to take a private tour, or for Christmas and other parties. Black Fox produces about 10,000 litres of spirits annually. Its products have been listed with the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority — including the awardwinning triticale vodka and gin No. 3. The products are also for sale at the Regina Farmers’ Market, Saskatoon Farmers’ Market and the store at the farm. The Saskatchewan distilling industry, believes Coté, is going to grow. “It’s going to be the same as what happened in the microbrewing industry: those with good quality products will survive and prosper; and those not focused on quality will go by the wayside. “Consumers are quite astute. They’re coming by our place not just because you’re local, but because they’ve heard you’re local and good.”

illions of people suffer from acute or chronic pain every year, and the effects of that pain extend far and wide. While pain sufferers understandably focus their attention on treating their conditions, it’s important for all people to recognize the nonphysical burdens pain places on people as well. Estimates vary regarding the overall financial burden of chronic pain on healthcare systems, but numerous studies have suggested the overall costs are in the neighborhood of half a billion dollars every year. A recent report from the Institute of Medicine estimated that pain costs American society as much as $635 billion every year, a figure that includes both the costs associated with treating pain and the money forfeited to lost productivity. The costs of chronic pain are substantial in Canada as well. Though the population of Canada is just 35 million (compared to nearly 320 million in the United States), a 2010 report estimated KK082925 Karen the costs associated
with chronic pain and lost productivity and sick days in Canada to be around $37 billion annually. Chronic pain can be uncomfortable and costly, but there are ways to manage the effects of chronic pain and lead an active, productive life. Occupational therapy is one way for chronic pain sufferers to combat their conditions and improve their quality of life. What is occupational therapy? According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, occupational therapists and their assistants utilize everyday activities to help chronic pain sufferers participate in the things they want to do and need to do, including work. What can occupational therapists do? Chronic pain sufferers rely on occupational therapists in various ways. Occupational therapists may identify the cause of their patients’ pain, suggesting alternatives to activities or behaviors that aggravate that pain. (Continued on page 11)

ou won’t have to dig too deep past the the bricks and mortar foundation to figure out what’s going on at Villa Royale Retirement Residence these days. That’s because there’s much more than meets the eye at the 65-plus assisted living facility, located at 1817 Edmonton Avenue, which runs parallel to Circle Drive just off of 33rd Street in the city’s west end. “First of all, it’s masonry construction, which is a nice feature,” says Larry Ollenberger, who along with his wife Gail, and Garland and Jean Nygaard, round out the ownership group of Villa Royale. “The quality of the construction is very, very high.” Ollenberger is discussing the latest growth of Villa Royale, the Enriched Living expansion project, which features 500-square-foot suites that contain fullsized kitchens, including stove, refrigerator, microwave and air conditioning. In fact, each suite has its own temperature controls with large windows keeping the suites bright and airy. But it’s those other intangibles that you don’t readily see which speak to Villa Royale’s allure. Monthly rent includes a meal program, where residents enjoy five meals per week in Villa Royale’s full service dining room. Other services included are a housekeeping/linen service, wellness clinic, foot care, emergency response pendants, chapel (with a chaplain once a week) and a live-in caretaker. And, of course, the convenience of having a Saskatoon Co-op next door on 33rd Street makes picking up groceries and prescriptions a breeze. Elaine Redekop, director of market-
ing and operations, Villa Royale provides many social opportunities for residents once they’ve moved in. “One of the greatest compliments we can get is when someone who’s been in the hospital or something like that, comes back and says, ‘Oh, it’s so good to be home.’ “It’s such a great compliment,” Redekop says. A move into a retirement residence can be an emotional time for families, and the staff at Villa Royale is extremely attuned to that. “Independence is having choices and there’s dignity in having choices,” Redekop says. “People who wait too long (to make the decision to move in) typically feel like they have lost their independence because they’ve given up their right to choose.” Go online to villaroyale.ca to learn more about Villa Royale’s Enriched Living program or call housing manager Don Capon to arrange a visit. He can be reached at 306-978-3074. Prices range from $1,350 per month to $1,875 per month depending on the square footage of the suites.

Every day ways to save money
aving more money is a goal for many people. Whether retirement is looming or decades down the road, saving as much money as possible is a great way for men and women to plan for their financial futures. But saving money is not always so easy, especially as the cost of living continues to rise in so many parts of the world. In its 2015-2016 “Salary Budget Survey,” WorldatWork, a global association for human resources management professionals and business leaders, found that U.S. employees can expect an average base salary increase of 3.1 percent in 2016. That marks only a slight increase from 2015, and many working professionals wonder if that increase will be enough for them to start saving more money. Cost of living salary increases likely won’t be enough for working professionals to grow their savings considerably, if at all. Fortunately, there are several ways that men and women can cut back each day and grow their savings without affecting their quality of life. • Make your own coffee at home. While few people may give it much thought, that $2 or $3 coffee you buy each morning adds up to a substantial amount of money each month. If your daily cup of joe from the coffee shop next to your office costs $2.50, that’s $12.50 per week (not counting weekend mornings), $50 per month and $600 per year. Buying coffee at the grocery store and preparing it at home won’t cost anywhere near that much, saving you hundreds of dollars per year, which you can put
directly into your savings account. • Bring your lunch to work. Many men and women already know that dining in instead of out is a great way to cut back on unnecessary spending. But it’s not just skipping nights out on the town that can help save money. Rather than spending somewhere between $5 and $10 every day on lunch at the office commissary or nearby restaurants, bring your lunch with you. Bringing your lunch allows you to buy in bulk rather than pay for each individual midday meal, and that can add up to considerable cost savings over the year. • Trim some fat from your cable bill. While cable providers have been slow to embrace customizable plans that allow customers to pick and choose their channels in an effort to save money each month, some providers have begun to offer such plans. Contact your cable provider to see if you can customize your plan so you are no longer paying for channels you don’t watch. If your provider does not allow you to customize, consider cutting your cable entirely. Streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime cost a fraction of monthly cable subscriptions, and these services continue to increase their offerings. Work with a financial advisor. If you keep coming up empty in your search for ways to save, work with a financial advisor. Financial advisors can help you establish a monthly budget so you are in a good position to save. In addition, such advisors can suggest ways to grow your money that you might not know about.

They are entitled to new playground equipment, like all communities are. For me that was a wonderful outcome.

Mayor Atchison: Crews mill down or plane the top layer of asphalt to remove the old damaged asphalt and create enough space for the new layer. They don’t get into major structural rehabilitation unless the street really needs it. Rebuilding the roadbed would certainly add to the price tag of the project. Question: Why does the city patchwork broken sidewalks and sometimes use asphalt? Mayor Atchison: There are two different questions there. Asphalt is a short term fix for sidewalks. I never thought of it as permanent, but it will last years. It may not be as attractive as concrete but it does the job. That leads into the question about the sidewalks. If you have two or three sections that are in good shape or near-perfect condition, they don’t need to be replaced. The sections next to them that are failing will be replaced. It is a cost-effective way to maximize the safety of the sidewalks. In the meantime, crews are going throughout the city to make sure we have curb cuts everywhere, so those with mobility issues are able to go from one side of the street to the other. They shouldn’t have to go from the back alley to the next
back alley that is down the street to get to where you need to go. This year council determined the budget for roads, back lanes, sidewalks, street sweeping and snow removal would increase to $58.5 million. It’s a significant investment, but residents tell me they are seeing a difference. Question: Will there be an overpass at Highway 16 into the new Costco development? Mayor Atchison: Yes, eventually. Right now the city will be putting up traffic lights there. The lights will move from Highway 16 and Boychuk Drive to where the Costco development is going. At this time we still have priority overpasses at Highway 16 and Marquis Drive, Highways 11 and 12 and Marquis, and at Airport Drive and Circle Drive. They are at the top of the list. We probably have a total of a dozen that we need in the years ahead. Did You Know? Curbside recycling services are provided bi-weekly to 66,000 homes. Multi-unit recycling services are provided to 35,000 apartment and condominium units. (Have a question for Mayor Atchison? Send it to editorial@saskatoonexpress. com.

Nuggets forward gets grouper therapy By RJ Currie BBC News reports Tokyo companies are paying for workshops to teach staff how to cry. Not to be outdone, several Toronto firms bought employees Maple Leafs tickets. • Canadian swimming phenom Penny Oleksiak’s sister is an NCAA rower and her brother is an NHL defenceman. No wonder she’s a good swimmer, starting in that gene pool. • Ryan Lochte has been asked to participate on DWTS. He doesn’t have much dancing experience — unless you include a do-se-do or two with the truth. • Word is Tim Tebow has quickly ended a rumoured flirtation with springboard diving. Tebow lost his enthusiasm after missing the pool three times. • A Sacramento algebra teacher reportedly remains suspended pending his trial for drunk driving. You’d think a math expert would know better than to drink and derive. • Denver Nugget forward Wilson Chandler caught a 350-pound grouper. Maybe now would be a good time for him to angle for a bigger salary. • I’ve been reading Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s book where he describes living in zero-gravity. It’s hard to put down. • Jady Duarte, the 20-year-old who reportedly slept with Usain Bolt in Rio, said he moved in for a kiss in about 10 seconds. Bolt disputed the claim and said it was 9.58 seconds. • Anyone else surprised whenever Caster Semenya wins a race? She appears AS082902 Aaron
to come out flat. • Uber has reportedly lost more than US$1.2 billion this year. When my wife read that, she thought it was an NHL expansion team. • The U.S. 4x100 men’s Olympic relay
team didn’t win their appeal. Ryan Lochte certainly lost his. • The coach of Wayde van Niekerk, 400-metre gold-medallist, is a 74-year-old grandmother. My grandma coached me, but all I’m good at is being seen and not heard.
RJ’s Groaner of the Week Teenage ATP pro Taylor Fritz, 18, recently married fellow U.S. player Raquel Pedraza, also 18. I can’t see it lasting: when you play tennis love means nothing.
Chad Guenter (left) and Jasmin Muratagic reach the city after spending three days and 140 kilometres on their paddle boards. They were joined by approximately 30 other paddle boarders for the three days, and by another 50 for the final 20 kilometres. Guenter, a native of Saskatoon, founded a group called Keep Calm & Paddle On in 2012. Money raised goes directly to those dealing with mental health issues. Muratagic runs a chapter of Keep Calm & Paddle On for foster children in the Cayman Islands. For more information, visit kcpo.ca.

the chance to fill their cart with as much food as they can in under a minute, with my two kids in tow? I did neither. Given the option of paying with the credit card I put on file when I registered, or bwy debit (which I chose), he produced a handheld, cordless machine (and unlike every corner store, gas station and sandwich shop lately, did not ask me if I wanted to tip) to which I pressed the top of my bank card until I heard that satisfying little beep. And I was done. It took maybe five minutes from pulling into the parking lot until I was rolling back up Eighth Street. Did I mention all of this cost me a measly $3? It is $5 if you want to pick up your groceries on the same day. Both my sister and I are all over online grocery shopping, but when we tried to convince our mother to get on board and online, she flat out refused. See, when we were kids grocery shopping was not just a necessity, it was an event. Living cheque to cheque, the
moment money hit their bank account, my mom went to Superstore. My dad would drop her off at the doors, take my sisters and I through the McDonald’s drive-thru, and then over to our great-aunt’s house to be babysat. Always either a Thursday or Friday night, we’d play cards and watch the new episode of the Cosby Show or Full House. To this day my mother stubbornly sticks to her ritual, scoffing at the idea of shopping for groceries online, despite the fact she is well-versed in using modern technology. It never occurred to us when we were kids, but I suppose it was not just a household chore; it was a chance to get away from us and spend a few hours by herself. Now that we’re out of the house, maybe she enjoys a familiar routine. I, however, am hooked. I will use the hours of my life I’ve just clawed back to write the great Canadian novel, as I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. Just kidding. I’ll be doing something to get away from my kids.

North Ridge homes leading the parade John Grainger Saskatoon Express t’s really not surprising that North Ridge Developments has exactly a third of this year’s featured content in the Saskatoon Parade of Homes. “This is a big deal for us,” said Dave Hepburn, sales manager at North Ridge. “The Parade of Homes exposes it and shows people what we are doing.” The parade, which returns after a twoyear hiatus, shows off 24 homes from 17 different builders. North Ridge has eight on the roster. Jessica Bonish, the marketing director at North Ridge, was quick to point out there are many options in the city for homebuyers. “Within our city there are so many choices. You can have single family, you can have bungalow townhomes, condos, luxury condominiums. All of our properties exemplify that,” said Bonish. “There’s such a wide range of options and choices for people.” This is where the Parade of Homes comes in, says Hepburn. “We want to use the parade for us. It gives us a chance to expose what those options are from North Ridge.” The North Ridge housing options are found across the city and in Martensville with the unique Lake Vista project. An added bonus for North Ridge this year at the Parade of Homes is the fact the

company was voted Builder of the Year. “It’s been such a great recognition for us,” said Bonish. “(The parade) gives us a chance to say look at us — we’ve been around for 30-plus years, and we’re still creating great value, great quality homes.” Despite what some pundits are saying about the local economy, both Bonish and Hepburn say the housing business is hot right now. And potential homeowners are looking for much more than just four walls and a roof. Hepburn says people are moving the homebuilders’ industry into providing more environmental and sustainable housing options, something North Ridge has taken to heart. “We recognize it as something important. People are looking for it,” said Bonish. For instance, the North Ridge development called The Pines, located in Evergreen, has really taken a leap into offering more environmentally friendly homes. North Ridge is proud of its warranty program. Bonish says this provides much peace of mind for new homeowners. “We can’t say enough about our warranty department. They’re there 24/7. You know you’re going to talk to someone, they are going to help you,” says Bonish. “It allows homeowners to feel secure in their purchase.” To see the complete list of homes, go to www.paradeofhomesonline.ca.

A hands on experience
DC082905 Darlene
By Boots and Jim Struthers
Answers on page 19
These are great times in the beauty industry and we couldn’t be more excited. Spa Academy was founded by a group of people with decades of experience. Our vision has always been to provide professional quality education in a true spa environment. We give students the training and experience required to succeed all in one location. A quality education in esthetics can be evaluated on three core characteristics. Esthetics educators and training organizations should strive to optimize these to give their graduates the best chance at success. We do. EXPERIENCE BASED: There is no better experience for the future esthetician than actually being an esthetician. We are hands on, with our students prepared to hit the profession running. We provide students with their own clients, complete with real world complications and demands. By the time students graduate, they have not only performed hundreds of services with real expectations, but they have had the opportunities to market themselves, solve problems, deal with complaints and work on their retailing skills. It is one thing to know how to perform a pedicure, but an-
other entirely to give a client the pedicure experience. SKILLS BREADTH: The skills required to perform esthetics services are a top priority in our program. What separates us from others is the level of attention and time spent on secondary skills. There is much more to the customer experience and business success than simply performing the pedicure. Supporting skills such as proper sanitation and disinfection, customer service, self-marketing, retailing, organization, scheduling and teamwork can be just as essential to being a successful esthetician and running a prosperous spa/salon. QUALITY INSTRUCTION: We have quality educators. It’s that plain and simple. Our instructors are well trained, experienced and are given sufficient time to spend with individual students. We use a maximum instructor ratio of 6-1, meaning our students receive a significant amount of 1-on-1 time. Our educators prepare students for the workforce. That’s our bottom line. We at Spa Academy strive daily to give our students high-quality education and spa experience training! Come and see for yourself.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Views of the World Where are the Riders going?
T
orben Rolfsen, on Japan’s Olympic organizing committee considering making the medals for Tokyo 2020 out of recycled electronic waste — i.e. old smartphones: “So you make it to the podium, and they hang a BlackBerry around your neck.” • TC Chong, on North Korea saying it is closer than ever to war with the United States: “Hawaii is on the alert for inflatable rafts and bi-planes headed towards Pearl Harbour.” • Not advocating the firing of Chris Jones or anything like that, but where’s the plan? And let’s be honest here: Jones has one Grey Cup, and it was as a coach, not as a general manager. And furthermore, Grey Cup wins as an assistant coach really amount to a small hill of beans. I suspect the CFL is littered with those. • One Rider radio fan guy said the Riders came out “flat” against Hamilton. Ya think? • From @randyturner15: “It’s uncertain times such as these when I realize the only guarantee in life is that I won’t see water polo until 2020.” • Bill Littlejohn, on the new name for the White Sox stadium being Guaranteed Rate Field: “So who throws out the first pitch next game, Joe Namath?” • From Rolfsen: “Good planning by Rio for future use of the Olympics facilities. For example, the mountain bike course will be a drug-running route.” • From Janice Hough: “As a marketing promotion, KFC is giving away 3,000 bottles of sunscreen that smell like fried chicken. Two words: Shark bait.” • Chong, on Nike announcing it is exit-
ing the golf club business: “Word is that Elin Nordegren has ordered extra 9 irons before the company ceases production.” • A tweet from former Rider Jeff Fairholm during the Hamilton game: “I hate to see the Riders getting outcoached and outclassed in a game. This is embarrassing!” • From Hough: “Now that the Olympics is over, NBC’s next big televised event is the first presidential debate on Sept. 26. Wonder if the network will show it before the election?” • Attendance was so bad at the Rio Games I thought an Argos game had broken out. • Chong, on Tom Brady selling his own mix of nuts online for $50 a bag: “They sold out in two days. Unless those bags weigh more than five pounds, I think the price is inflated.” • From @bigheadsports: “Did I hear something about Hope Solo vandalizing a gas station and lying about it?” • From Rolfsen: “The UN health agency reports no confirmed cases of Zika virus from the Rio Olympics. That is despite the fact Ryan Lochte said he was pulled out of a cab one night and had his blood sucked by a giant mosquito.” • Chong, on San Francisco police looking for a man who bit off a bartender’s finger after getting into a fight: “Mike Tyson and Hannibal Lecter have been ruled out as suspects.” • Littlejohn, on USA Today’s report that Ryan Lochte will join the cast of Dancing with the Stars next season: “What will he dance to? The Castaways’ Liar, Liar?”

Sulfamic Acid Cleaner from TileLab at Home Depot. If you are going to tackle this job on your own, take caution; use at your own risk and read the label. Also test the chemical on an inconspicuous area and ventilate the room. It will take some elbow grease, a nylon scrub brush, Scotchbrite pads and a plastic scraping tool. The clean-up of this mess will take a few hours and when you are finished. Then, clean the area with plain old water.
A sock is also a great tool for dusting. If mineral oil products are safe on your furniture, purchase pure mineral oil at a pharmacy and mix a half cup with four to five tablespoons of lemon juice to make your own polish. Pour a small amount onto your dry dust sock and polish away. Handy Hacks: Looking for a simple way to dust baking pans and surfaces with exactly the right amount of flour? Just cut the foot section off a clean old pantyhose leg, fill it with flour, tie a knot in it, and keep it in your flour jar. Give your new flour dispenser a few gentle shakes whenever you need to dust flour onto a baking pan or prepare a surface for rolling out dough for breads or pastries. Make oranges easier to peel by rolling them along the counter using the palm or your hand before you cut them open.
