Zakreskis create hope in Malawi W

hen Peter and Elaine Zakreski first visited Malawi in 2008, their discoveries were rather shocking and they quickly saw a need for action. The Saskatoon couple saw there were shortages in drinking water and food. There were scarcely any educational opportunities or health care for children. The villagers were vulnerable in the Domasi

region in Malawi, a Central African country bordered by Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique. Fate would have it that the Zakreskis were travelling on a vacation back from Africa in 2006, when Elaine occupied a seat on the airplane next to Jean Kalinga, who had used most of her life savings to build a safe house for preschoolers in Malawi.

By Christmas time in 2006, Elaine wrote in her annual letter to Santa Claus, “Africa has a special place in my heart. I see it in my mind’s eye, especially the faces of the children. One day I will return for myself and hope that love can make a difference in the world.” She and Peter went in 2008, wanting to see the realities of everyday life. A year later, they went back again, sat down with the chiefs of the villages and heard, over and over again, the cries for fresh water, foot bridges and schools.

The Zakreskis launched Hope for Malawi, investing their own resources and then reaching out to a generous and engaged Saskatoon community. Today, the annual gift in excess of $100,000 is making a difference. “Every penny goes right to the grassroots,” said Peter, who is retired as a business executive and well-known for community leadership roles in the 1991 world junior hockey tournament and the 1989 Jeux Canada Summer Games.

Q: Hunter from Langham

asks: Is there anything I should not put in my will?

A: One important item to leave out of your Will is your funeral arrangements. Typically the reading of the Will does not happen until after a funeral. Leaving your funeral wishes in your Will could result in no one seeing them until it’s too late. Create a separate document spelling out your desired funeral arrangements and leave it with your executor.

become big business. There are dollars to be made, sponsors to attract and Olympic medals to be won. Glenn Howard, who seemingly has been around since the first stone was cast five centuries ago, said directional sweeping was akin to using a joystick. “Up until 18 months ago, it was 80 per cent shooter, 20 per cent sweeping and now in the last year and a half, it’s become 20 per cent shooting and 80 per cent sweeping,” he told The Canadian Press almost a year ago. “It’s just not acceptable. The problem is there’s no rule against it right now. It’s not as if you’re cheating. It just doesn’t seem right.” Now it is cheating. Breaking the new rules will have serious consequences. A first infraction will result in the team being disqualified from the competition. A second will result in a one-year suspension from WCF events. Good for the WCF. No longer will we see one person sweep and the other sliding along next to the rock, waiting for his/her name to be called when a correction was needed. It looked and sounded so silly seeing one huge Harnden brother sweeping and the other whistling while he walked alongside the rock. The WCF got it right, and not a moment too soon. Thank you.

Local chef eyes world title Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express ucked away in the kitchen of a downtown Saskatoon restaurant, chef Chris Corkum is getting ready to take on the world. The Nova Scotia-born and raised Corkum won first place in the Global Chefs Challenge, held in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2015. That win qualified him to represent the Americas in competition against the winning chefs from Europe South, Central and North, Asia, Pacific Rim and Africa/Middle East, for the 2016 world title in Athens, Greece, as part of the World Chefs Congress. “I’m very honoured and humbled to representing Canada at the Global Chefs Challenge,” said Corkum, the executive sous chef at the Radisson Hotel. “It’s been a long road to get there.” A long road indeed. It is one which started on his family’s hearth, back at home on the east coast. “I was attached at the hip to my grandmother and her old hardwood stove from a very young age,” said Corkum, when asked when cooking became his passion. “I can still smell the little rainbow trout frying in the cast iron. My father was also a very good cook.” After a brief stint cooking as a teenager, which Corkum dismisses as “just a paycheque,” he embarked on a journey across Canada to Vancouver, to start his studies in paleontology. “Working my way through school I came to become much more passionate about cooking. Eventually I dropped out of school to pursue cooking as a career.” That career will now land Corkum cooking for the ultimate title at the WorldChefs Congress and Expo from Sept. 24 to Sept. 27 in Thessaloniki Greece. The World Association of Chefs’ Societies or WorldChefs is a global network of chefs

More than 100 WorldChefs associations represent over 10 million chefs worldwide, with their biennial Congress and Expo a hallmark tradition that has been hosted in 20 cities across the globe. You could say that competition is as much in Corkum’s blood as his passion for the culinary arts. “I eventually returned to the East Coast and studied pastry arts at the Culinary Institute of Canada,” said Corkum. “This is where I started competing, first as a member of Junior Team P.E.I. and through Skills Canada. Competition is something I love to do, striving to better myself as a chef through every competition.” His post-graduate career took Corkum as far away as Bermuda, where he worked in a pastry kitchen for two years at an upscale hotel. He felt his competitive spirit was flagging, but fortunately for happy resident eaters and travellers alike, it was here in Saskatoon where Corkum revived it. “I was on my way out, about to give up

cooking when I took a job at the Radisson Hotel Saskatoon,” said Corkum. “That is where I really kindled my passion for competition: blending my training as a pastry chef in P.E.I. with all the technical savoury experience I’ve had working coast-to-coast. “I competed twice in the Saskatchewan senior combo culinary competition, winning and representing our province on the national stage, where both times I received the silver medal,” he continued. After eventually winning the national title, Corkum found himself in Ecuador last year competing to represent not just Canada, but the United States and South America as well. “We were each given the same ingredients and instructed to create a threecourse menu, with six plates each, for the global jury,” explained Corkum, who spent months in advance of the Quito competition perfecting his menu, which included three types of fish, three cuts of veal, and a unique type of chocolate native to Ecuador.

“I trained hard last year for the continental semi-finals in Ecuador,” said Corkum. “This was an amazing accomplishment, but representing our continent on the world stage in Greece, not as a single competitor, but with an amazing young chef by my side, is the greatest honour of all.” Corkum’s assistant in Greece will be Saskatoon’s Austin Beach, also from the Radisson Hotel. “Saskatoon has a very thriving food scene,” added Corkum. “There are so many amazing, talented chefs.” His mantra throughout his competitive career has been, “practice, practice, practice . . . and when you’re done practicing, practice some more,” but Corkum says his real success comes from somewhere, or someone, else. “As the road to WorldChefs comes to an end, I’m excited to take a little downtime with my beautiful wife Melissa who’s been there beside me this whole time. She’s the real champ in all of this.”

SASKATOONEXPRESS - September 19-25, 2016 - Page 4 She chose the movements for their gypsy music influences. “It’s a fascinating element of Haydn’s life that he was in touch with gypsy musicians. It was part of his life and shows up many times,” she said. “It’s something that hasn’t been done before . . . with the theme of gypsy music. It was sort of one of those lightning bolt moments when I came up with this idea, that this has not been done.” First concert coming soon With the CD under their belts, the Amati Quartet players are preparing for their first concerts on Monday, Oct. 10, 2 and 7:30 p.m. at Knox United Church. It’s the fourth year that the quartet has played Thanksgiving Monday, and this concert will feature 12 additional musicians from Saskatoon, playing both old and new music. The concert will feature works by Vivaldi, Mozart, Piazzolla, Reich, Einaudi, Glass, Part, and Grieg. Cole explains that she had to “rent” the music by the newer composers, Arvo Part (Estonia), Ludovico Einaudi (Italy), Philip Glass and Steve Reich (both American). “Traditionally this concert is baroque, but this year we’ve added living composers,” she said. “Renting music was another learning curve. It took me a week Rudolf Sternadel, Geoff Cole, Marla Cole and Terence Sturge (left to right) comprise the Amati Quartet to figure out how to go about renting music.” That being said, “composers have figured out how to make money from their work,” added Cole, and that’s a good thing. The concerts will take place at Knox United Church; tickets are $35 adult, $30 senior and $15 student, available through Joanne Paulson “I use my eyes a lot more, to look at lot of work with the recording engineer, Persephone Theatre, 306-384-7727.

Agrium investors like that net- really see that happening. hardly afford to lose a head office, from so many perspectives — employment, commercial real estate, taxes and, generally, our international business profile. Jochen Tilk, the president and CEO of PotashCorp, said in a conference call with analysts and investors that the two companies have “identified $500 million of annual operating synergies.” That’s usually code for layoffs. But he quickly added, “Notably, the majority of the savings are unrelated to head count.” He later said he believed that a larger, stronger company would provide greater career opportunities. Well, I hope and, for now, trust he’s right about not too many “synergies” related to jobs. Tilk will become the executive chairman of the merged company, while Agrium boss Chuck Magro will be CEO. All of this is, of course, assuming the many regulatory hurdles are eventually cleared. Remember when the Canadian government blocked BHP Billiton’s salvo to buy PotashCorp? That’s extremely unlikely to happen in this case, since Potash and Agrium are Canadian companies, but still . . . there is a long way to go until 2017, when the deal is expected to close. But what has baffled me from the beginning is why PotashCorp and Agrium want to do this at all. Yes, it turns the two into one great big company — the largest nutrient company in the world. That’s impressive. The melded firm will have 20,000 employees, operations and investments in 18 countries, and a $26 billion market capitalization. Huge, really, by anyone’s standards.

1966-1976

MARKET MALL – OPENING It was the Swinging Sixties, baby, and the world was changing quickly. Opposition to the Vietnam War was growing across the United States and a string of hits like Paperback Writer and Eleanor Rigby was propelling the Beatles to the top of the pop charts in 1966. Star Trek was beginning to boldly go where no man had gone before! Back home in Saskatoon, things were changing just as rapidly. In October of that year, Saskatoon witnessed the grand opening of Market Mall, the province’s first fully enclosed shopping centre at the corner of Preston and Louise avenues. “This was big for Saskatoon,” says Betty-Anne Fisher, the long-time general manager of Market Mall. “It was the first time you could actually walk indoors from store to store.” The new 150,000 square-foot rectangular Market Mall was essentially at the end of the city and was not surrounded by the urban setting as it is today. With an abundance of available parking, Saskatoon residents were introduced to a one-stop shopping experience with anchor retailers like Safeway, Stedmans and MacLeods along with the Bank of Montreal and Pinder’s Drugs. Some of the smaller tenants included a flower shop and a barber shop, not to mention the Coachman Restaurant, which is still operated by the same family, now in its third generation. Having somewhere to shop during the cold prairie winters was an instant draw to Market Mall, says Fisher. “That became very popular for us.” Shoppers could shed their winter coats as the temperature was a constant and comfortable 21 degrees Celsius – or 70 degrees Fahrenheit -- as it was back in the ’60s before the metric system was introduced in Canada. A pedestrian walkway allowed shoppers to meander around to the other smaller shops that were in place beside the large anchor stores. The mall was designed with high ceilings and large skylights to allow an abundance of natural light in giving an airy and bright experience – something shoppers had never seen before. Saskatoon’s retail landscape was forever changed with the arrival of Market Mall in 1966.

Man Show marries Women’s World to create big event

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express fter running separately for 11 years, The Man Show and Woman’s World are combining forces this year. Now known as The Man Show Meets Woman’s World, the event will be held in 100,000 square feet of space from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at Prairieland Park, so there is plenty of room for items geared to women, men and both. The reason for combining the two this year came down to a time crunch, organizer Brian Swidrovich said. Last year, his schedule included the man and women’s shows, the airshow, monster trucks, NASCAR and stock car racing. “It literally almost killed us — killed me anyway,” Swidrovich said. “So we made the decision not to do a Man Show this spring just to try and regroup a little

AS091904 Aaron

bit. It’s not to cancel it, but to marry it to the fall women’s show.” He said combining the two has been successfully done in Regina in the past. They may be split back into two in coming years, but that hasn’t been decided. Money raised goes to support Law Enforcement Guardians’ youth charity programs. Swidrovich said the shows have raised more than $500,000 over the years. He said there will be plenty of items of interest to both sexes at the Saskatoon event. Exhibitors will have everything from big-ticket items such as motorhomes to small items such as finely crafted jewelry. Swidrovich said motorhomes, boats and vehicles have been sold at the event, so people are doing as much spending as browsing. “Home décor, outdoor living, recreational activities, travel, a little bit of everything,” Swidrovich said of the types of

items patrons will see. “You walk around with a glass of wine and a beer and shop. It is kind of a social outing, is what it is.” It is one of few events at which people can have a drink without being confined in a beer garden, he pointed out. One of the main attractions is always the man/woman shed. Valued at $100,000, tickets are only for sale at six events during the year, and this is the last of those. The draw will be made on Oct. 2. Homes by Dream, along with Nu-Fab Building Products and other partners in the construction industry, supplied this year’s shed. It starts as a standard 12-by-20 foot structure, and then the magic happens. “Whoever wins each year knows they have the only one of its kind; it’s not a cookie-cutter shed. The shed and all the goodies will exceed $100,000 in value. Your $10 ticket or $20 for three is pretty

good and every single penny goes to help different kids’ charities in the province.” This year’s shed includes eight televisions, a shower, wet bar, toilet, bar stools, microwave, a hot tub, two Murphy beds, a loft, coffee-maker, Mastercraft tools and shop vac — and more. Swidrovich said some in the past have ended up as cabins. Some are on farms, some have had the goodies removed and become traditional sheds, and some have been sold. He said a person from Nova Scotia won it one year and sold it for $25,000. That would have been the cost of having it shipped to his home province. Somebody got a great deal. Man Show Meets Woman’s World will be held from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 at Prairieland Park. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door. Hours are 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sept. 30, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 1 and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 2.

Quality of life

– essential to aging population

Saskatchewan has an Aging population, so we need to think outside the box and have a crystal clear understanding that the environments we build for seniors, will have a huge impact on their quality of life, says CEO of Golden Health Care, Heather Haupstein. I am a big believer that we can design and build care environments that can be utilized as a therapeutic tool and add positive value to the lives of the residents. Our homes are unique and a “one of a kind” in Saskatchewan. Golden Health Care has just completed its 8th home, Diamond House in Warman, which is ready for new residents. This has been a 4 year project, says Haupstein, and the planning stage was critical as you can never stop assessing every element you add to the environment. I always want to build a “Home” that can provide the specific care needs and life style preferences of our residents but never lose the look and feel of home. I eliminate all the institutional icons like a large reception desk, nursing stations, uniforms, intercoms, med carts, large dining rooms and hard shiny floors as we do not need to include these elements in our environment to provide 24/7 care with skilled nursing. We are providing a home to an “ Aging” population that wants to have a productive life and live in a homey environment.

b u t

The location is always residential and family friendly as this is a “home”, not a facility or commercial property. We found the ideal location for Diamond House in a beautiful area of Warman where we have a relaxed, quiet, beautiful landscape surrounded by lots of garden space and walking paths. Diamond House is a home with 6 houses under one roof. This environment is unique in Saskatchewan, says Haupstein, but we see the positive results from our residents, families and staff. Each of the 6 houses are designed with different wall colors, lighting, flooring, suite layouts, kitchens, living rooms, sunrooms, and spas so residents are part of a small family size group. The internal design makes it possible to provide all levels of care so residents can live here as long as they like. It is extremely important that residents never have to look for alternative living arrangements if their needs change, as moving is difficult for them as well as their families says Haupstein. Our dining rooms accommodate 15- 20 residents so they can enjoy their home cooked meals in a quiet relaxed setting. The care staff in each house join their residents for meals as this is a great time to get to know one another, talk about life and the past and just enjoy each other’s company, says Haupstein. Our care staff are a vital component to this home and we have been blessed with exceptional people. Paying attention to the small details, welcoming the 4 legged family friend, having over a dozen sunrooms with different activities, adds to the positive living experience we want all our residents, family and staff to enjoy, says Haupstein. We welcome everyone to come and see the home at 700 Ballesteros Cres in Warman or call Tracey at 306-955-1300 or email hauph@sasktel.net for more information.

Travel

Icelanders find harmony in landscape and song Icelandic men’s choirs are part of the country’s culture as much as the farming and spectacular landscape. (Photo Supplied) Doreen Kerby for the Saskatoon Express uring a trip to Iceland, travel writers were invited to farms close to Reykjavik. The one I enjoyed most was a dairy farm that had been in the family for six generations. As luck would have it, the Adalsteinssons had six girls. They are all away from home now, so there is no one to carry on the family farm. Birgir’s wife, Asthildur, is hopeful that one of their grandsons will take over when they are ready to retire. Their farm is big and busy with 340 hectares, 350 head of cattle, six horses and

JW091907 James

40 dairy cows. When we were there, two of the cows were in the barn, ready to have calves. Watching this couple move around the farm, it was evident they are used to hard work. Asthildur told me that Birgir had a beautiful voice and had been singing in a choir since he was eight. He belongs to a 65-member choir, and if I wanted to see him on YouTube to check out the Karlakor Kjalnesinga Choir, she said. When I got home I did just that and was amazed to see the members dressed in tuxedos, and the singing was excellent. Now, I was on a mission so I watched all

five videos. But there were other Icelandic choirs as well. It was apparent that Icelandic men just love to sing. It seems that male voice choirs hold a special place in Icelandic culture. To them, singing is a vital part of everyday life. It is their national identity; it is about being with other men and about dealing with life’s ups and downs in a positive way. Robert Faulkner of the University of Western Australia immigrated to Iceland in 1986. He had intended to stay for two years, but stayed for 20 as a music educator and a researcher. He interviewed more than 50 members of the male choir in Hre-

JW091902 James

imur and wrote a book on the subject. “You might have expected these men to get the greatest pleasure from singing rousing soldiers’ choruses, but what the men love singing most is the exact opposite of that,” he wrote. They love beautiful, gentle music in four-part harmony. The men interviewed argued that women’s choirs don’t possess the expressive quality that male voices do. When Faulkner first heard this, he thought it was some kind of male arrogance, but strangely enough, many Icelandic women agreed. The women went on to say that they wouldn’t bother listening to a women’s choir, but they love to listen to men singing. Petur Gudjonsson brought choir singing to Iceland in the 19th century. He had sung in a choir in Denmark as a student. It caught on in Iceland and male voices have not stopped singing about Iceland’s beauty, its mountain, glaciers, hot streams and summer nights lit by the midnight sun. “The men talked a lot about the independence that comes from having a bit of space to try out your voice,” Faulkner wrote. Singing from the top of a hill helps men unwind after a long day at work, just as we might sing in the shower or in our cars when no one can hear us. They sing away their anxieties and it helps them regulate their personal lives. When there was no mental-health board available, singing eased their pain and helped comfort others who needed help. As one of the men said, “Singing with your work mates gives you better health and more commitment to your job.” This is backed up by recent studies done in Finland and Norway that reveal that music activates emotional, motor and creative areas of the brain. Two county hospitals in Norway found that staff choirs improved the sense of well-being among employees. For many Icelandic men, life without singing would be no life at all.

Open minds, open hearts change lives in Malawi

(Continued from page 1) n 2009, the Elaine Zakreski clinic opened in the Malawi village, providing a 13-room health clinic and preschool safe house. For Elaine, early childhood educator in Saskatoon, the clinic was a first important step. Then came the development and annual maintenance of the water supply, orphan care supplies, the foot bridges, solar energy for the village, considerable independence from being provided with animals and the maize mills, all of which the Zakreskis hope will be self-sustaining. Drilling of a borehole to supply a village with fresh water comes at a cost of $8,500. A foot bridge or solar energy can cost $2,500, a modern pit latrine about $1,000, and there are uses for every size of gift. “We have seen the differences in eight years. The children aren’t suffering any longer from dehydration, diarrhea and bloated stomachs. That’s the physical difference you can see. Their leaders have developed priorities. There is trust between us and their chiefs,” said Elaine. “Water was the early consideration because women would walk five to 10 kilometres to get water out of the river,” added Peter. The challenges were clear, with the organizational skills of both Zakreskis coming into play. Peter joined the Rotary Club, hoping it would provide him with a source of income-tax receipts — it did — and then Rotary’s own world community service gave money to build a bridge, create a

laboratory and provide five sewing machines. They still help annually, but the Hope for Malawi Foundation now handles tax receipts. Four times the Zakreskis have organized the shipments of large containers — 40 feet long, eight feet wide, nine feet high — that are stocked with supplies. They go by rail to Montreal or Vancouver, then by ship to Mozambique and then by truck to Malawi. One year, the container became useful as an office space and a doctor’s office in Malawi. Often on their trips, the Zakreskis carry with them the best available medicine which is donated by Health International of Montreal. The supplies are divided into small units and are free to the vulnerable, while others, with resources, can buy them. One of the most amazing signs of co-operation came when students from St. Bernard School in Saskatoon donated money so that the team in Malawi could go out and buy cows, chickens, roosters, rabbits, pigs and goats. Once the animals reproduce, the new livestock will be passed to other families in need. Unique, too, is that the Zakreski family bought an ambulance. “Before we acquired the ambulance, the sick were carried on a plank mounted on two bicycles. Even in areas where they have ambulances, they seldom have gas to run them. Our ambulance always has gas.” Peter said that on each trip, “we listen as they identify their needs and figure out how we can help them best. Local committees have their say in where the needs are

strongest. We come back to Saskatoon and raise some funds.” The Zakreskis stay in touch with friends and donors through a progress report, which is mailed out in September, and through an annual brunch that usually occurs the first weekend in December. The passion of Elaine and Peter has rubbed off on their family. Their daughter, Lynn, a high school teacher from St. Albert, made her first trip in 2016 as did two of her children, Kathleen and Peter. “I now see why my parents have dedicated their lives to this great initiative,” wrote Lynn in this summer’s newsletter. “I witnessed firsthand the tremendous impact the foundation has had in the many villages. I was at the opening of a maize mill, two early childhood schools and a new wing of a school. I saw results of meditation by the grandmas — their blood pressure is lowered, stress is overcome and fellowship maintained. I witnessed income-generating activities such as bakeries, maize mills and sewing. Most of all, I

AS091915 Aaron

witnessed a vibrant community filled with hope, joy, appreciation and excitement.” She added that where she visited, “I was struck that Muslims and Christians work and pray together peacefully and respectfully. God is not limited to a particular set of beliefs nor to a particular day. In Malawi, God is necessary and God is love.” The family commitment will stay in place. “By 2020, we will have infrastructures in place for model communities,” said Elaine. “We have given them the tools, they have learned to depend upon themselves and they know there will be a day when we move on to other communities. “The visits to Malawi change lives both in Saskatoon and Malawi. I told our nine volunteers on the trip that all they really needed were open minds and open hearts. The foundation stays within the family and we all will pass it on. It is a dream bigger than within our own lifetime.” For more information, visit hopeformalawi.com.

Am I too old for your service?

Dear Lianne, Do you help a fellow like me? I’m 68 years old. I married my high school sweetheart. She passed away this past January from breast cancer. We talked about me finding someone else and she made me promise I would. One of her friends who is divorced tried to get me to go

with her but I am not interested. I would like to find someone. I’m not good with computers so I don’t know how this would work. I like to go away in the winter and don’t want to go alone. Please tell me what I need to do from here. I’m a good guy I just don’t want to date my wife’s friends. Am I too old for this? – Don

Dear Don, Love never goes out of style. You are never too old to fall in love again. I agree that dating a friend of your former spouse can be very uncomfortable At Camelot Introductions we work with hearts not computers. Our clients are encouraged to date the old fashioned way and not text or email. Getting to

know the actual person is far more beneficial than having an electronic relationship. We will coach you about dating do’s and don’ts as you will be out of practise. There are absolutely fabulous women in your age group who are ready to meet an amazing man. We certainly can take the complexities out of looking for love.

I welcome you to call me at 306978-5683

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 OCTOBER 13-16 INTERVIEWING NEW CLIENTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR LOVE. CALL NOW TO BOOK YOUR INTERVIEW WITH ME 306 978-LOVE(5683)

‘Broadway babies’ launch new theatre company Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express icardo Alvarado and Kelsey Stone just click. They both expect high quality and honest artistry in a production, but want laughter to remain a big part of their day. They’re both used to working with a theatre cast of more than 30 people, and a production team of 20. So perhaps it’s no surprise that the duo found themselves recently launching their new Saskatoon theatre company, Ppl r Ppl Productions, which is getting set to open its first show in just a few weeks. “The two of us have done two shows together in the past, co-starring in RENT, and he was my director in Cabaret, both with Saskatoon Summer Players,” said Stone, who also teaches musical theatre at Saskatoon’s La Danse. “Saskatoon loves musical theatre and we want to make sure they get their fill! We are focusing, for now, on smaller casts and shows which are new to Saskatoon audiences.” “We’re both Broadway babies at heart, and we want to share that love with the world,” said Alvarado. “Things are a little different when it’s just us trying to put it all together. The fact that everything is falling into place, and that we’re still talking to each other, with smiles on our faces no less, tells me that the universe is definitely conspiring in our favour.” Alvarado and Stone have set a goal for Ppl r Ppl Productions to produce two to three shows per year, as well as hold theatre workshops in schools. They’d also love to have a permanent studio space for their rehearsals, which are currently being held in Stone’s garage. “It is actually perfect since there’s only two of us in the cast,” said Stone on using her home garage to rehearse for Ppl r Ppl Production’s first show, The Last 5 Years,

DC091998 Darlene

opening Sept. 29 at the Backstage Theatre at Persephone Theatre. “The show was written by Jason Robert Brown and follows Jamie and Cathy through their five-year relationship,” continued Stone, playing the role of Cathy alongside Saskatoon actor Matthew Lapointe as James. “It tells both sides of the story eventually, as Jamie goes chronologically through time, while Cathy’s story goes in reverse. We have a six-piece band led by Shaun Bzdel. The set has been designed by Ricardo, who is also the director. He has a very simple but beautiful vision for this show and it lends itself perfectly to the story.” Alvarado says The Last 5 Years is a musical gem that every theatre nerd knows by heart, but is long overdue for a performance in Saskatoon. “Its unconventional use of time to show how a relationship evolves is poignant and thought provoking,” he explained. “It was recently revived on Broadway, turned in to a full-length feature film starring Anna Kendrick, and just this week it was performed in concert and has the entire Broadway community buzzing. It’s a simple show, in that it strips away a lot of the world around these two people, but delicately shows you who they really are.” The pair are overwhelmed by the support Ppl r Ppl Productions has received from both the theatre community and city-at-large. “We are relying on those we love, and also the city that we love, to help us make this dream a reality,” said Stone. “We’d love for people to come see this beautiful show so we can continue to make more in the future.”

Brett Levis has become the first Saskatoon-born player to play in the MLS. (Photo Supplied)

Saskatonian making waves with Whitecaps Keenan Sorokan Saskatoon Express rett Levis is making waves with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, becoming the first Saskatoon-born player to suit up for a Major League Soccer (MLS)

Those two games with the top squad proved to be Levis coming-out party. Not long after, the club signed him to a multi-year contract. His first MLS goal came against the L.A. Galaxy, the top-ranked team in the league. Levis’s goal was the gameclub. winner in a 4-3 Vancouver victory. It’s been a part of a monumental summer for the 23-yearHe will long remember the game against Crystal Palace. old fullback. He travelled with the team for a Champions Crystal Palace came into Vancouver concluding a League match against Trinidad and Tobago Central FC, North American tour ahead of its English Premiere League and he played in a friendly against history-steeped Crystal season.

second team, it was a bit nerve-racking. There were about 15,000 people there, and the atmosphere was pretty exciting,” Levis said. Playing with the Whitecaps developmental team (Whitecaps FC2 in the United Soccer League) Levis was called up to the top team for the two games. He was subbed into the game against Crystal Palace, sending a cross to the awaiting head of teammate Kendall Watson for the team’s tying goal in a 2-2 draw. “It just kind of opened up for me. I had a few good crosses, and one of them got headed in by Kendall Watson. It was awesome to get an assist in that game, and I probably could have gotten a couple of more.” Levis followed that up with another solid performance in a 1-0 win in Trinidad and Tobago — his first start for the Whitecaps. “I was somewhat a part of the goal. It was more a hockey assist that I got,” Levis said of his blue-collar effort. Levis’ path to the MLS is unlike any other. While the collegiate route in North America is popular to a variety of sports, in soccer an overwhelming majority of players are scouted at a young age and enter into training academies across the globe to hone their skills. Levis took the homegrown path and never played outside of the province until the Whitecaps came calling. “The whole path I’ve taken hasn’t been due to exposure. I’ve kind of had to go out on my own.” Levis started at Bethlehem High School and after a rocky first year transferred to Centennial Collegiate’s soccer program. It was there that Bryce Chapman began to develop Levis’ potential. “We built quite a good relationship that we maintained through university,” said Levis of his former coach. Chapman wears quite a few hats in Saskatchewan’s soccer community. He is head coach of the Huskies men’s soccer team, Junior Huskies and Whitecaps Saskatchewan Academy, just to name three. Through his time with Chapman, Levis knew it was only a matter of time before he was playing with the Huskies. Joining in 2011, he helped the team to its best results in the program’s history, reaching the playoffs three times, culminating in the Huskies’ first Canada West title in 2014. With short stints playing in B.C. between his final years of university, the Canada West’s leading goal scorer gave up his final year of CIS eligibility to join the Whitecaps FC2 in 2015. There, Levis had trouble playing for the first time in his life. The goals weren’t coming as easily, and then an ankle injury sidelined him for three months. (Continued on page 21)

Show and Shine gives civilians a chance to visit Camp Dundurn

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express riving past the army base at Dundurn doesn’t provide much of a glimpse of what’s going on inside. On Sept. 24, the inaugural 17 Wing Detachment Dundurn Show and Shine — featuring standard fare like classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and custom projects — will provide civilians with just that opportunity. “The military footprint is small within Saskatoon and area,” said Jason J. Johnston, deputy manager PSP/Canadian Forces Morale & Welfare Services (CFMWS) 17 Wing Detachment Dundurn. “The Show and Shine will allow for an activity for soldiers, retired members, and the community at large to engage in some fun and share their passion for classic vehicles.” The formal mission of the CFMWS, which is a federal government department, is to “enhance the morale and welfare of the military community, thus contributing to the operational readiness and effectiveness of the Canadian Armed Forces.” “In partnership with bases, wings, and units, we ensure that our customers, the CAF Regular and Reserve Force members, retired and former CAF members, military families, Department of National Defence employees, NPF employees, and RCMP personnel, receive the morale and welfare programs, services, and activities they deserve,” says the organization’s website. “The 1st Annual Show and Shine came

about because of a unique way for military members, their families and the many retired members with an interest in classic and vintage automobiles to gather and enjoy a day in the park,” said Johnston. “More importantly, it’s a way for military members to come together and have a local event to attend that the greater community can attend as well.” Johnston says the overall objective of the event is for civilians to visit Camp Dundurn to see what it’s all about and what it has to offer, such as rental options for private functions. As the deputy manager of CFMWS, Johnston is a part of a local team of civilian and military leaders that work on the “esprit de corps” and the provision of fun and rewarding leisure activities for the troops in the area. “It’s not a small task,” said Johnston. “Military fitness and sport are key functions, but so are recreation and leisure activities. Part of my mandate is to provide options for ‘outside-of-work’ programs that interest members and their families. The Show and Shine is one way we are accomplishing this.” (The Show and Shine will be held Sept. 24 from noon until 5 p.m. at Camp Dundurn. There will be a barbecue and door prizes. There is no admission charge. Proceeds from the event will go to assist in local military morale and welfare programs.)

Injuries hindered career

“I

(Continued from page 20) njuries always hinder your career a little bit,” he said. “You just got to be strong and do everything you can to get back out there.” After undergoing x-rays, doctors discovered a clean break in Levis’ ankle, which really threw them for a loop. It turned out to be an injury that went unnoticed in the years prior to joining the Whitecaps, meaning Levis played considerable time with a broken bone in his ankle. Levis went to training camp this year hoping to improve from his previous season. An injury in preseason at left back would spell a move from midfield to the back line for the natural left-footer. After being known as an attacking player his whole life, Levis thinks he is adjusting well to the new position. “This year I have more goals from that left back position. It’s kind of ironic.” Even with of the changes and success this year, Levis couldn’t help be star-struck facing Crystal Palace. DC091907 “There wasDarlene one moment specifically I

remember. There’s a player called Yannick Bolasie — he’s a super fast player, very tricky. I’ve seen him play tons of times on TV.” Bolasie recently transferred to Everton, a team looking to make an impression and title run in the EPL this season. The sum was a reported £25 million (roughly $43 million in Canadian dollars). Vancouver FC had a corner kick. When the ball escaped the area, it was Bolasie who emerged sprinting towards Levis. “He was sprinting at me, and I remember thinking, ‘What am I going to do?’” A well-timed tackle put the ball out of bounds and avoided Levis any embarrassment from the speedy winger. Levis is proud of the strides he has made this season — including the groundwork he is laying for other Saskatchewan players. “My main goal is to play at the highest level I possibly can. And it’s also to sort of make a pathway for other players in Saskatchewan, so they know there is somewhere to go.” Levis is living proof of that.
