Saskatoonʼs REAL Community Newspaper new businesses have gone in there, and we’re expecting a new Freshii to open soon . . . within the month, hopefully. “We also had the new McDougall Gauley (law firm) building built (on Main Street, just off Broadway.) “Then on the other hand, we’re also having some buildings being torn down on the street — again, another incarnation of Broadway through that change of those buildings.” Changes notwithstanding, Mercier is already thinking of ways to make the popular street even more attractive to Saskatonians and visitors. “I would like to see more art on the street, everything from murals to making sure there is interesting architecture, interesting sculptures on the plinths,” she said. “I’m interested in potentially looking at new street furniture, and how we can continue to increase the sidewalk café feel. It’s just lovely to see that bloom over the last couple of years — throughout the city — and it’s something we want to keep working on, keep encouraging.” She noted that the Broadway district is not just about the businesses right on the main street, but also the businesses on the side streets. “I’m interested in how, with the new (Traffic) bridge being built, how that can be integrated and hoping that will potentially allow us to slow down the speed limit on Broadway as well. Right now, it’s a pretty major thoroughfare and we understand that, but . . . I think we’d all like people to stop and get out and experience the stores.” She would like to see Broadway as bike, car and pedestrian friendly — “a multi-modal neighbourhood” — and make it safe and inviting for everyone.

Friendship Inn nourishes the community since 1967

he kind folks at Friendship Inn are getting ready to provide and serve a turkey dinner to 1,300 clients on Thanksgiving Monday. Friendship Inn’s mission is to be responsive and compassionate in fostering a sense of belonging. It relies on community-wide partnerships and support in fulfilling its commitment to regular meal service and friendship. Hot, nutritious meals are available at noon hour 365 days of the year, but Sandra Stack, executive director of Friendship Inn, said Thanksgiving Day and the other major holidays are the most challenging. “A crowd of 1,300 on ThanksgivPeople ing Day is normal and we never turn anyone away,” Stack said. “Sometimes clients might have to wait 45 minutes in the lineup. We want them to have a turkey dinner, with potatoes, vegetables and a slice of pumpkin pie. If we ever run short, and we haven’t so far, we will stir up something else in the pot.”

Sandra Stack is the executive director of Friendship Inn. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) None of this can happen without the support of the community. “We need 90 to 100 turkeys, probably 160 pies, butter and vegetables. There isn’t one major supplier of the turkeys. We take the donations one turkey at a time and every turkey counts. To get the meals ready, we have 35 to 40 volunteers come into the building on Saturday and Sunday, just before Thanksgiving Day. Since we cook the turkeys on high-efficiency steam heat, they all have to be de-boned beforehand.” As vital as Thanksgiving Day turkey is to the community, the everyday service at

Friendship Inn is like managing a modernday miracle. It all began on March 6, 1967, when a small staff prepared bowls of soup for six transient men. Since then, Friendship Inn has grown into the largest free-meal service provider in Saskatoon. Each day begins with breakfast from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and the distribution of about 90 bagged lunches, free to schoolchildren and provided at a $2 charge for working men and women. Lunch is served from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. “The daily service depends upon donors

as well. Most of the grocers make donations of foods they take off their shelves after expiry dates. What doesn’t get used each day is given to the clients.” Milk is not served, except with cereals and coffee. “It is alarming and disheartening that out of 11 inner-city schools only one can afford to serve milk each day,” said Stack. “The statistics from Health Saskatchewan tell us that one out of every three children in Saskatchewan lives in poverty. For many, milk is a luxury item.” (Continued on page 7)

I tracked down some of those people who posted some of the comments. First of all, they were shocked they could be tracked down because they posted anonymously. Then came the blame game: “I was drinking and didn’t know what I was doing” or “it was my kids.” There are ways of tracking down anything and anyone who sends a comment on a story. For all those who are thinking about making a prejudiced remark online, don’t forget most media outlets have what we call “the future file.” This is a shared file by reporters who keep a record of comments. Some of these comments have come back to haunt the sender. It’s like a daily routine to find someone who wants to run for public office or be a police officer, for that matter, who made comments online years prior only to have those comments brought back to light. I once tracked down an online poster who was a trucking contractor. His biggest hauling contract was with a First Nations company. His jaw dropped

when I showed up at his door with copies of his hate-filled comments. I informed him I would be bringing his comment to the First Nations company with which he had a contract. He begged me not to. He was so pathetic I dropped the matter, but I kept everything in the future file. I was the only First Nations student in my junior high school days. All my friends were white students. I grew up with some of them and some are still my friends. About the only time my race came into play was during a sporting game or when I ran off with one of their girlfriends. It was only then I heard racist comments, but I didn’t care. Throughout my years of working in the media, I’ve run into stories with a racist slant. Some are more apparent than real. But comments made about a young man who was tragically killed are coming from those living at the bottom of the barrel. KNCREE@gmail.com

MARKET MALL – ’70s A new decade arrived and along with it Saskatoon and the rest of the country experienced Trudeamania as it was swept across the nation. Paul Henderson’s goal helped Canada to defeat archrival Soviet Union in the classic 1972 hockey duel. And Saskatoon shoppers had jumped on board the notion of indoor shopping thanks to the arrival in 1966 of Market Mall, the first fully enclosed shopping centre located at the corner of Preston and Louise avenues on the city’s east end. After being in operation for a few years, it was evident Saskatonians had embraced this new concept of shopping as business were booming. The stores, anchored by Safeway and MacLeod’s, along with the smaller service stores, were hopping year-round. Drawn in by the unique one-stop shopping experience, Saskatoon residents were excited to hear that at the end of the decade, plans were in place for Market Mall to expand by an additional 50,000 square-feet of retail space to a total of 200,000 sq.-ft. Part of that space was earmarked for the arrival of a Saskatchewan Liquor Board store which would eat up 10,000 sq.-ft. Also, Stedman’s, one of the original stores in Market Mall, would be turned into the city’s first Canadian Tire store. An additional 21 stores and services would boost the draw for Saskatoon shoppers. And those shoppers were coming from new areas of the city’s east side as expansion and growth of neighbourhoods took place. All of a sudden, residents from Eastview, Lakewood, Lakeview and Wildwood were flocking to shop at this mall in their area of the city. It was exciting times, to be sure. That left the mall’s original rectangular design was now altered to an “L” shape once the mall’s first major expansion was concluded. As Saskatoon thrived in the ’70s, so did Market Mall. It wasn’t long until the next phase of growth started as more expansion came to fruition in 1982.

WOW!

THE POWER OF A STEAM SHOWER!

Is he saying that PotashCorp and uranium are fossil fuels? That’s what it sounds like. Does someone have to explain that potash is a fertilizer that helps feed billions of people around the world? And that uranium is not a fossil fuel, either, but a radioactive element that powers reactors, which have among the lowest electrical-generation emissions on the planet? Alternatively, and giving him the benefit of the doubt, is he saying that potash and uranium mining creates significant greenhouse gas emissions? Because he’s wrong on that front, too. As the premier pointed out in his tweet touché, Canadian GHG emissions are 1.6 per cent of global emissions. Let us go further. Saskatchewan’s emissions are 10 per cent of that. Mining is about three per cent of that. Globally, this is almost vanishingly small. Uranium, meanwhile, moves on from Saskatchewan to create nuclear power generation, which creates virtually no GHGs. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says nuclear power’s emissions are similar to wind, and lower than hydro, solar and coal. (I’m not getting into the debate on waste, here. That’s a different argument. This is about Suzuki’s views on fossil fuels.) Indeed, even uranium mining is lowemission. A new study supported by the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation, and published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, found that the mining and milling Aaron about a gram of ofAS092602 uranium contributes

greenhouse gases as CO2 equivalents per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated by uranium. This is extremely low, especially since, as noted, uranium contributes to reducing emissions at the other end of the value chain. Furthermore, the study included all potential emissions generated in mining and milling uranium at three Saskatchewan operations: fuel used in heavy machinery and to power the mine and mill, the concrete and steel used in construction, and emissions generated by flying workers in and out of the sites. They even included emissions from the mining companies’ head offices. Now I will grant you that Saskatchewan creates some GHG emissions, but most of them come from oil and gas extraction, at 34 per cent of emissions; electricity, 19 per cent (makes you think pretty hard about electric cars); and agriculture, 22 per cent. The remaining emissions groups are transportation, buildings, waste and the ubiquitous other. Suzuki’s argument is not bolstered by fact. It was not polite, well-thought out, engaging or helpful. I really am starting to feel that all of Canada, while not necessarily on the same page about carbon taxes and other specific issues, is definitely on the road to addressing climate change. It will take us a while to get there. But attacking fertilizer mining, and particularly uranium mining — whether or not he thinks potash and uranium are fossil fuels — obliterates Suzuki’s credibility. That won’t help his cause, at least not in Saskatchewan. • Naturopathic Cancer Care • Live Blood Microscopy

More than food at Friendship Inn

(Continued from page 3) ne of the biggest challenges for the Inn came in March 2016, when a water main break occurred almost directly in front of the building. Culligan came through with a water supply, restaurants jumped to the rallying call and, over a four-day period, Friendship Inn was able to provide 4,000 bagged lunches. Aside from the food, Stack said there is always a need for lunch bags and when the colder weather conditions arrive, the Inn needs men’s and women’s toques, mittens and gently-used adult jackets. Stack said the generosity also comes from the schools. About six to 10 children from Tommy Douglas Collegiate will come periodically from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help. Some also come from Nutana Collegiate. Now there are elementary school children from Willowgrove volunteering. Some schools in the Catholic division are setting up swimming pools in their gymnasiums where food can be donated. The management team at the Inn also includes Lynn Scharf, the office manager; Rebecca Zakreski, who works with volunteers and does event co-ordination; Brenlee Biletsky, a family worker; Heather Street, the kitchen manager and Stacey Smith, the receptionist. Among the services provided are Just 4 Dads men’s parenting, an anger management course, HIV street health nurses, a mom and baby clinic, an immunization clinic and a Live Well diabetes campaign. Andrew Coutts is the president of a 14-member board of directors, with each member bringing different talents to the table. On the board are Shauna Bear, Don Gorsalitz, Greg Fowler, Mark Lane, Carson Heagy, Kim Hodson, Curtis

Korchinski, Doug Kramble, Rick Leier, Jamie Miley, Doug Schmeiser, Mark Smith-Windsor and Donna Wilson. Leier, owner of Rely-Ex Contracting Inc., has been deeply involved since 2011 when his company, along with Wright Construction, did a $3 million expansion of the building. That came after Bishop Donald Bolen of the Saskatoon Roman Catholic diocese sold the building to Friendship Inn for $1. The expansion allowed for a larger dining area, a larger kitchen, proper storage areas, office space and a garage for the van which is used every day. “We were asked to help with the renovation and the addition and we gladly agreed,” said Leier. Leier’s grandfather, Jack, a Saskatoon hotelier, was the founder of Friendship Inn, “and although I was only eight when Grandpa died, I started to learn of the work he was doing with the Our Lady of the Prairies Foundation, which he had established. The story goes that Grandpa suffered a heart attack and while he was praying for recovery, he promised to create a charitable foundation, which this year marks its 60th anniversary.” There were other Leier connections. A cousin, Ken, became the cost consultant on the renovation project and Ken’s sister, Elaine, is married to Peter Zakreski, who was serving a term as Friendship Inn president. “Grandpa Jack was the father figure to all of us and he lived by the rule that individuals have to give back to the community. That’s what we tried to do,” said Leier. Friendship Inn is located at 619 20th Street West. For more information, visit friendshipinn.ca.

Bring HOME to Rehab

Creating a welcoming environment The numbness comes first, then you can’t talk. You’re having a stroke. The next thing you know, you’re in a hospital ward. You can’t move your hands, you can’t walk, you can’t communicate. It’s entirely possible to return to a healthy life. But where would you rather recover – in an institutional-like setting or somewhere more reminiscent of home? This is what professionals at Saskatoon City Hospital’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Centre want with Bringing Home to Rehab.

The 33-bed, intensive rehab program sees many patients recovering from conditions such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, other neurological disorders, and amputations or multiple traumas. Bringing Home to Rehab will make recovery the best it can be. The project will result in a more responsive physical environment. It will create a culturally inclusive and welcoming atmosphere with art and décor. It will bring patients comforts of home such as communications and entertainment devices.

Rehab’s Dr. Gary Linassi says, “We provide exceptional care at the lowest part of people’s lives. We want to create an environment they know and understand. Making the ward more comfortable, where patients can think about the future rather than dwell on what’s happened, is a good first step.” Donate today if you want to create a more welcoming environment for the hospital’s rehab patients. Call 306-655-8489 or visit SCHFdonate.com.

Donate at SCHFdonate.com, in person at the Foundation office or by calling 306-655-8489 or 1-800-603-4464.

is really important unless he has a campaign machine behind him. And then there’s Ward 2, where incumbent Pat Lorje has served forever. With seven candidates on that ballot, it’s tempting to think she could fall to a vote split, but underestimating Lorje’s support would be foolhardy. She has a mighty grip on Montgomery, her own neighbourhood, which she won by over 70 per cent in 2012. Montgomery poll numbers also represent the largest turnout in the ward, and one of the largest in the city. Taking out Lorje means taking Montgomery, and I’m not sure I’d put any money on that. Speaking of turnout — the highest number of voters in 2012 turned out at St. Bernard School, with 1,901 people casting their ballot at the Ward 9 poll. The honour of 2012’s highest percentage turnout, however, goes to the poll at the Willows Golf and Country Club, with a whopping 68 per cent of its registered voters showing up to cast their Ward 7 vote. Ironically, the Willows poll also saw the least number of people KK092613 Karen

come through that day, with only 269 ballots cast. The worst 2012 poll turnout was in Ward 2’s St. Mary’s Education Centre, where fewer than 10 per cent of that poll’s registered voters came out to cast a ballot. Right behind it was Ward 7’s Holy Cross High School at 13 per cent. But I’m confident that was because the vast majority of its registered voters — seniors living in condos by Market Mall — voted at the advance poll at Market Mall. Perhaps more representative of the second lowest engagement in Saskatoon was Princess Alexandra School, also in Ward 2, at 15 per cent. Anyway, as my favourite editor can attest to, I could probably go on about this forever, so I’ll stop here. The bottom line is that for weirdos like me who enjoy watching this kind of stuff, it’s going to be a fun month. For those that don’t, well, take solace in the notion that after almost 15 straight months of election campaigns at every possible level, it’ll finally all be over in a month — for a few years, anyway.

Mercier expands her community-building horizons

(Continued from page 1) Learning to love community Born in Saskatoon, Mercier moved to B.C. when her father — who had been attending the University of Saskatchewan, and working for the City — went to Langley to finish his degree. The family then moved to Herbert, Sask., and then to Rosthern, where she attended Rosthern Junior College (RJC). “RJC really focuses on community building,” said Mercier, who comes from a Mennonite background. “They have alternative learning service opportunities, and at that time I learned that the mission field could be very local. It could be international, it could be within Canada, it could be in your own backyard. That’s something they really impressed upon me there. I definitely understood that we were called to better our community, with the talents and skills that we had.” After RJC, Mercier moved to Saskatoon to attend the U of S and took an English degree. She met her husband, Jules Mercier, while also studying theatre in the drama department. They married after graduating. Mercier also had a job, which speaks to how we can learn something from every experience. “During university I had been working at Ben Moss Jewellers in Midtown Plaza,” said Mercier. “While I worked there, the movie Blood Diamond came out. That was a big deal for people who sold fine jewelry, to be able to explain to people what they were purchasing. “We had letters from head office sent to us saying, like, ‘this is how you explain what Canadian diamonds are, how we track Canadian diamonds’ . . . and all those sorts of things. I don’t know if I was that great at selling on commission, but I did like explaining to people what they were buying, why it was important, how to buy the best diamond. I realized that I really liked the public relations aspect of that job.” She wanted to go into PR after that experience, and because there isn’t a school in Saskatchewan focusing on PR, she went to the school her father attended in B.C., Trinity Western University, where she took a second degree in communications. Moving back after the degree was complete, Mercier one day in May 2011 saw a posting for a public relations assistant at The Lighthouse Supported Living organization. She applied for it, and got it, starting in June 2011. Quickly, she moved up into the AS092610 Aaron

primary PR job, which she retitled communications director. “At that time, most people didn’t know what The Lighthouse was, or what work it was doing,” she said. “We really got to start from scratch with an awareness campaign of what we did.” Not long after she started, in 2012, the new Lighthouse affordable housing tower opened, and that was “fairly big for the community, and we were definitely more on people’s radar. And we also started a capital campaign to renovate what used to be the Capri Hotel. “I fell in love with the people, and really saw the need for supportive housing in the community that supported people’s right to live as independently as they chose, but still have programs in place to help them succeed. I just really enjoyed working there, and really enjoyed talking about The Lighthouse. I was really excited to get the word out.” She was with The Lighthouse for five years when the executive director’s job at the Broadway BID came up. She applied, talked to some of the members on the board, went through the interview process and was hired. Making a difference Mercier said a number of things came together to inspire her decision. She lives south of the Broadway business district, and was both familiar and happy with the walkability of the neighbourhood. That was a small piece of her decision-making process. “I was looking for other ways to make an impact in the community,” she said. “Sometimes working in a non-profit can feel like you’re working on a little island, all on its own. I was interested in doing broader community work.” She is involved with Nuit Blanche, sits on the Queen Elizabeth Community Association board, volunteers with Sum Theatre and is a co-chair of National Philanthropy Day. “I enjoy things that bring the community together. I especially enjoy things that are free to participate in. I was also looking for further leadership opportunities . . . looking to expand that skill set. “I thought this (new position) is a perfect opportunity for me, because I’ll be able to use my community building, some of my marketing skills, working on becoming an executive director of a small organization and continue to engage stakeholders, which is something I really enjoy — getting everybody on board with a vision, or listening to people and figuring out what that vision is.”

forts from their own pockets. So please don’t judge a candidate by how professional their campaign literature looks or by the number of lawn signs you see. Rather, make an effort to hear and/or read what they have to say. Former mayor Henry Dayday announced his intention to run in this election for the mayor’s office and subsequently withdrew from the race. His political action spoke to his continued interest in our city and its future. Although I appreciate his reasons for withdrawing, he might have been the candidate to keep the budget, tax increases and debt issues in the forefront of this election. Whether you agreed with him or not, he served this city as mayor for 12 years and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Whoever wins the mayor’s race in this election should seriously consider how Dayday will be recognized for his past service and do so in the same fashion that other civic dignitaries have been honoured. Today I simply say thank you, Henry. While the candidates are doing their jobs, we the voters have to do our job of sorting “the wheat from the chaff,” so to speak, deciding for ourselves which candidates best represent our views and then get off our butts and vote. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

say that it is not a good time for you, accept the pamphlet and say you will call them if you have any questions. Remember it is they that are walking the streets in the cool autumn weather while we are tucked into our cozy homes. Some candidates will have large campaign teams helping to spread their message, but the majority will only have a handful of family and good friends to assist them. Other candidates will be backed by specialinterest groups, and although candidates in civic elections do not run under the banner of any particular political party, a few high profile candidates will have the quiet backing of a political party. These candidates may have access to party membership and voter identification lists from a previous provincial election and those on that lists will be contacted and asked to support a particular candidate. The “demon dialer” will be used to deliver a canned message reminding those supporters to get out and vote for the chosen candidate. It leaves those candidates without the backing of a special-interest group or political party with a steep uphill climb. Running an election campaign is expensive. Incumbents and high-profile candidates will already have raised sufficient funds to cover their campaign costs, but the majority will not and will be financing their election efAS092607 Aaron

Orange Shirt Day honours residential school survivors

the spirit of healing and reconciliation. After a resolution was passed earlier this spring at their annual convention, the Saskatchewan School Board Association (SSBA) is bringing Orange Shirt Day to schools in the province, including those in Saskatoon. Then-Saskatoon trustee Vern Linklater, who was also chair of the SSBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aboriginal Constituency, led the way on championing this for our province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings awareness of the residential schools and how they affected generations of indigenous families,â&#x20AC;? said Linklater. He is hoping that Orange Shirt Day will teach todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children empathy for those who attended residential schools, as well as appreciation for their own education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that all children can be thankful of our parents and to know that parents of residential schoolchildren did all that they could in that time,â&#x20AC;? said Linklater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That new gift of an orange shirt was very special and expensive, but the nun tossed it away and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have our own clothing for you to wear.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The overall goal for Orange Shirt Day is to provide the opportunity for Saskatoon and Saskatchewan schools and school divisions to lay out their anti-racism and antibullying policies for the school year, while continuing the dialogue of the history of residential schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hurts to know that racism and bullying still goes

Vern Linklater was instrumental in bringing Orange Shirt Day to Saskatchewan. (Photo Supplied) on. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like students, or anyone, to go find a survivor, or champions as I like to call them, that are still living, to sit with them and ask them about their story. Ask about what happened to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to know it happened, to appreciate the children who were forced to be non-First Nation, or even worse, religious,â&#x20AC;? continued Linklater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel this is important enough to have this as a national day to honour the champions (survivors) of the residential schools.

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express he end of September might mean any number of things to you, from pumpkin spice lattes to beautiful autumn foliage and cozy sweaters. Not that long ago, however, the end of September meant something entirely different to children across Canada: it was the time of year when trucks and buses would trundle into First Nations communities to round up and deliver their children to residential schools. In 1973, then six-year-old Phyllis Webstad was one of those children. When she arrived at St. Joseph Mission Residential School that year, perhaps the sharp pain of dread she felt, facing another year of forced cultural assimilation, shame, deprivation, and likely abuse, was dulled slightly by the brand new, bright orange shirt she was wearing. It had been a parting gift from her grandmother. If her orange shirt brought young Phyllis some happiness, it was short lived, as one of the first things St. Joseph Mission staff did was strip her of it, replacing it with an institutional uniform. Phyllis Webstadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is the basis for Orange Shirt Day, which has become a cross-country movement recognizing and honouring the experience of survivors of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential schools. This initiative calls for every Canadian to wear an orange shirt on Sept. 30 in

Nuit Blanche’s food theme both delicious and challenging

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express Staged throughout Saskatoon’s Victoria Park, Market Square and River Landing, Nuit Blanche (NB) Saskatoon 2016 (NBYXE16) is back this year on Oct. 1 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. The free, all-ages event is being held in conjunction with Culture Days Saskatchewan. Curated by Wayne Baerwaldt, founding curator of Nuit Blanche Calgary, NBYXE16 will explore the theme, Creative Cuisine as Agent of Change, encompassing a wide range of unique, artistic approaches to the subject of food. “I wanted to program a series of projects that would bring audience members up close with artists, an intimate and carefully considered setting, for something this intimately tied to all of us, that being food,” said Baerwaldt. “I wanted a curatorial premise to focus on food, its performative making, the performance of its presentations, and explore artists’ shared concerns around sourcing, food security, origins, etcetera, with an emphasis on the etcetera.” NBYXE16 artists will be asking their audiences to consider a wide range of JW092615 James

subjects, from the modern industrial food chain to the colours, textures and flavours of food and drink, Indigenous relationships with food and much more. There is a notable increase in Indigenous artists participating in Saskatoon’s Nuit Blanche this year, but Baerwaldt emphasizes the fact that as far as he’s concerned, diversity isn’t a requirement — it’s a given. “I wanted to normalize the presence of artists on the program who happen to be of Indigenous descent, and not think about a quota system for any minority voice,” he explained. “There are also teenagers on the program, and there’s an artist who is 72 years old.” While NBYXE16 is billed as all-ages, Baerwaldt suggests that some of the projects might be more so than others. “The Bowden Collegiate design and build projects are developed by teenagers for teenagers primarily,” said Baerwaldt. “Emily Promise Allison makes the sharing of a lollipop a family affair. Each project in its own way will spark discussions at the family dinner table long after Saskatoon’s Nuit Blanche event.” The word spectacle has been largely associated, intentionally, with descriptors of

NBYXE16, but Baerwaldt draws a parallel with another event, this one south of the border. “When you think about (the word spectacle) as a concept associated with performance art, its aura has been totally disrupted by Donald Trump,” said Baerwaldt. “No performance artist working today can out-spectacle Trump. But I think the artists in the NB program will bring new meaning to the term ‘spectacle,’ something kinder, more revealing and honest and sometimes perverse, and these qualities are yet to unfold. “They will ingest subject matter that is very diverse, from the artists on salt and sugar to ground water and who has access to quality nutritious food,” Baerwaldt said of how NBYXE16 audiences will be moved by what they experience that night. “There will be humour and pathos, moments where you might just wonder, ‘What the $%#@ was that all about?’ so pure abstraction where the subjects associated with food or cuisine get mangled, and might form meaning in a year or two.” As just a sampling of what’s on the NBYXE16 plate that night, organizers share the example of local artists Aralia

Maxwell, Andie Palynchuk and Derek Sandbeck of Saskatoon’s Bridges Art Movement (BAM), who will collaborate with an anonymous local chef to create “minute,” described as an “exclusive oneof-a-kind performative dining experience” where members of the public will become part of the performance. In Victoria Park, ‘The Community of the Perogie’, by feature artist Cory Schewaga, will be a performative and very public making of triangular shaped perogies. The artist might even invite audience members into his (pup) tent to participate in the eating of those perogies. As for last words of advice for eager NBYXE16 attendees, Baerwaldt keeps it simple. “Come open minded.” For a further look at the art being presented at NBYXE16, visit www. nuitblanchesaskatoon.ca or follow Nuit Blanche Saskatoon on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Nuit Blanche Saskatoon is made possible by funders, sponsors and partners, including PotashCorp, Saskatchewan Arts Board, Tourism Saskatoon, Community Initiatives Fund and the City of Saskatoon.

Animal Health Week 2016 One Health - everybody wins!

re you a dog owner? Has your dog ever been inside a vet’s office? Why not? Chances are you have not even met a veterinarian, but Dr. Terri Chotowetz believes you and your pet should get to know a vet just as you would your family’s general physician. “(Dog owners) should establish a relationship with a vet … it’s key to get to know them and the vet can get to know your animal, too,” says Chotowetz, who is the Saskatchewan representative to the Canadian Veterinarian Medicine Association. “People will often value their pets as a member of the family, yet they might not know who to talk to or where to go to protect their pets’ health.” Chotowetz says, as part of animal health week, the CVMA is urging pet owners across Canada to consider the One Health concept. This means a pet’s good health, along with their owner’s good health, leaves our environment in good shape for all of us on Earth. “All of these things are intrinsically tied together.” The biggest concern for the CVMA is growing anti-microbial resistance, says Chotowetz, who has been a council member for the last five years. “We are definitely seeing more and more issues” with resistant bacteria, she says. “And the (CVMA) is trying to make people more aware of what’s happening.” The World Health Organization (WHO) recently had its first meeting to discuss this disturbing trend. This is also an issue that has caught the attention of the Canadian government which

has started to delve further into the situation. But did you know people can also share certain diseases with their pets? You bet, they can, says Chotowetz. These are called zooneses. Among the more familiar of these shared viruses is rabies. Chotowetz says the numbers of rabies cases is up dramatically this year in Saskatchewan. This is likely due to the lack of a real winter last year which provided a better breeding ground for skunks and bats. “But it’s so easy to prevent,” says Chotowetz. “If people have the proper vaccination for their pets, it’s not an issue.” Another easy way to protect your pet, your home and environment is de-worming your dog. “It’s so simple to do. It’s easy to deliver and to administer to your pets.” Other zoonoses include giardia, kennel cough and toxoplasmosis, which can make pregnant women ill though contact with diseased cats and their feces. But if pet owners are actively concerned about their pets’ good health, that lessens the fears of antimicrobials gaining a foothold and becoming a greater risk, Chotowetz says. There are new federal regulations that will require veterinary oversight of use of antimicrobials to food animals including those administered into feed or water. Chotowetz says these new regulations should be in place by the end of 2017. As well, stakeholder groups are working together to help provincial regulatory bodies to develop policy and regulations. Chotowetz can be found at the Cumberland Veterinary Clinic, #25 1501 8th St. / 306-273-3500.

Animal Health Week 2016 Saskatoon is the city of dogs and cats

he City of Saskatoon cares about your dog and cat and wants you to take advantage of all the services the City has to offer pets. In fact, says Brad Babyak, section manager of open space programs and development, the City already has seven operating dog parks and is planning to open three more in 2017, all on the city’s west side. “We want the city of Saskatoon to be the top pet-friendly city in Saskatchewan and Western Canada,” Babyak says. As well, he says the Avalon Dog Park will undergo a significant enhancement for expansion if the proposal is approved by city council. The plan calls for a perimeter path that would allow people in wheelchairs and scooters to bring their dogs and enjoy the park as well. The park’s interior would not change for other users. Signage at all the dog parks in Saskatoon has undergone an upgrade to be more user-friendly, Babyak says. “We’re trying hard to listen to ideas on what we can do to make the experience better.” Part of that initiative is to have dog park ambassadors that can foster a sense of community among dog owners. Also high on the City’s list of priorities is sponsoring special pet events throughout the year. For instance, last month the City held

AS092617 Aaron

its third annual Dog Days of Summer, an event where dog owners can bring their licensed dog for a swim at Mayfair Outdoor Pool before it is closed for the season. This year, 187 dogs and their owners took advantage of the special day for a dog dip. “We anticipate it will be a lot bigger next year,” Babyak says. The City also supports the annual Pets in the Park, and Saskatoon SPCA Cat Film Festival as well as public awareness campaign for bite prevention, which is done in concert with the Saskatoon SPCA and the Saskatoon Health Region. One area where Babyak would like to see Saskatoon pet owners take more advantage of is the annual licensing of their animals. Many people, he says, think once people get their pet licensed, it’s good for life. It’s not, Babyak says. It must be done every year – for good reason. “No one is happy when they get a fine for a pet-at-large,” Babyak says. But if your pet is licensed, there are benefits such as a direct return home through pet ID number or being safely sheltered until the owner can retrieve it. Cost of licensing is $27 for a spayed or neutered younger than a year or $54 annually for a dog not spayed or neutered.

Licensing a cat is $16 for a spayed or neutered younger than a year or $32 annually for a cat not spayed or neutered. The City sends yearly reminders to owners of previously licensed pets. Fines and fees for unlicensed pets start at $250. Babyak explains that compared to the cost of the fine a license is more afford-

able and provided piece of mind. There are a number of options for pet owners to pay for licenses so they don’t have to trek to City Hall including an online service. For a full listing of services available, go to the City’s website at saskatoon.ca/animalservices

Race Against Racism

The sixth annual Race Against Racism was held on Sept. 18 along the Meewasin Trail. There were both runners on the trail and performers at the start/finish line in Victoria Park. The event was organized by the Running Room and the Saskatoon Police Service’s cultural resources unit. Those taking part participated in runs and walks of various lengths. Money raised went to supporting the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan. In addition, non-perishable food items were collected for the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre.

Riversdale recognized for streetscaping project

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express hen looking for a solution to a problem, what better way than going to an expert in the field? That was the case when Randy Pshebylo, executive director of the Riversdale Business Improvement District (BID), was looking for a solution to having trash pulled from containers on 20th Street. Pshebylo approached a man who was often seen digging for bottles and cans in the trash bins. “I said, ‘What would it take for you to stop diving into the trash and pulling out trash that people have put in.’ He told me point blank, ‘you have to put an effing basket on the sides so people can put their cans in, but it has to be something that lets the snow or water drain through or if the cans are full. And they can’t hold any needles or glass or things like that. We have to be able to see before we take our cans out.’” There are now recycling baskets attached to the trash cans. And they are emptied regularly. That was one piece of a puzzle that won Riversdale recognition at an International Downtown Association trade-

KK082604 Karen

show. Riversdale won a certificate of merit for its streetscaping work between Avenues E and H on 20th Street. The list of improvements is long. Among them is a 150 per cent increase in lighting, urban forestry, cobblestones, new poster boards, decorative banners, bike racks, parking lot screening and murals. The bike racks are shaped like bison, while tree grates were designed to recognize the Indigenous and Asian histories of the area, and their importance today. “One of the things we are very proud of is the bike-stand service stations,” Pshebylo said. “We have some rudimentary tools you can use to tighten your wheels and then there is a bike pump. One of the things we made mention of in the application is we have had to service the pumps a number of times because they are well used. You will see guys pulling up and topping up their tires.” Streetscaping on 20th Street was a vision in 1991, with construction beginning in 1993. Twenty-three years later, the project now extends from Idylwyld Drive to Avenue H. A lot has changed in those two decades.

“If you look at the old photographs this was a very busy commercial area and all the stores were full.” Then things changed, with the area having a 42 per cent vacancy rate for a time. That is now sitting at a healthy three to four per cent, Pshebylo said. “It’s starting to come back to a busy commercial district. It’s a far cry from four out of 10 that were empty.” The submission to the International Downtown Association was for streetscaping and was adjudicated by BIDs across North America. There were 11 entries in the category. The convention, which was held in Atlanta, was a chance for business groups to exchange ideas and adopt the tried-andtrue practices of others. Pshebylo said he is happy with the way Riversdale has redeveloped. “It’s moving from a place your mother told you to never go to someplace you wanted to take your mom. If you feel that you would take your mother or significant other to an area, and do that in the evening, that’s a fundamental shift from where the area was to where it is and where it intends to go.”

Police station offers gender-neutral bathroom

he Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) opened a public, gender-neutral washroom in the lobby of its headquarters building last week. The washroom is available to any person regardless of their gender expression or gender identity. “The Saskatoon Police Service wants to demonstrate a greater understanding and appreciation of the LGBTQ community in our city,” Chief Clive Weighill said in a news release. “Designating a public washroom gender-neutral is one small step we can take in working to strengthen that relationship.” Plans are also in place to provide diversity training to members of the SPS, with a focus on how to make spaces safer and more inclusive for LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) staff and the public. “The Saskatoon Police Service’s creation and celebration of a gender-neutral washroom has a two-fold effect: it creates a safe space for trans and gender diverse people, at the same time as setting a bold precedent for other public institutions,” Rachel Loewen Walker, executive director OUTSaskatoon, said in the release.

• Fruits and vegetables: Produce is good for the body because it’s low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. Numerous studies have indicated that diets plentiful in fruits and vegetables help people maintain a healthy weight and protect against cardiovascular disease. • Whole grains: Whole grains pack a lot of nutrition into a low-calorie food. Whole grains help protect against type 2 diabetes, and researchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center found study participants whose diets included plenty of whole grains and fruit cut their heart disease risk by almost half compared to those whose diets favored meat and fatty foods. • Red wine: A glass a day for women and no more than two glasses daily for men can be beneficial. Moderate consumption of red wine has been shown to slow age-related declines in cardiovascular function, according to the American Heart Association. • Fiber: Increase your fiber intake for a longer life. Research from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition finds that the more fiber you include in your diet, the lower your risk of coronary heart disease. The daily recommendation is 25 to 35 grams. While there may be no such thing as the fountain of youth, a healthy diet can help men and women prolong their lives.

Hampton Circle

erries and whole grains are nutritious foods that can help men and women live longer, healthier lives. Legend states that on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León was the first European to discover modern-day Florida when he traveled on a quest for the mythical “Fountain of Youth.” While modern science has proven that there is no mystical fountain or body of water that can reverse or slow down the aging process, there are many steps people can take to age well and prolong their lives. Eating the right foods is one way to age well. According to Ralph Felder, M.D., Ph.D., coauthor of “The Bonus Years Diet,” reversing the aging process internally is more difficult than outward cosmetic changes. But the right foods can go a long way toward increasing both life expectancy and quality of life. Those who want to employ diet to increase their life expectancy may want to start adding more of the following foods to their breakfast, lunch and dinner plates. • Broccoli, grapes and salad: According to Health magazine, researchers have found that compounds in these three foods boast extra life-extending benefits. • Berries: In addition to their abundance of antioxidants, berries have other benefits. A 2012 study from Harvard University found that at least one serving of blueberries or two servings of strawberries each week may reduce the risk of cognitive decline in older adults.

Dear Lianne I am in a dilemma. I fell in love with a fellow who works construction and really doesn’t have a whole lot going for him. He works when there is work and collects Unemployment when there is no work. He is really nice to me. We have fun and I really enjoy his company. I’m concerned about a

future of financial instability with him. Then there is this guy who is an accountant, has RRSP’s a plan for the future and security. I’m bored with him and unsure as to what to do. I do want to start a family and make the right choice. Which one of these guys do you as a matchmaker think I should choose? – Marla

Dear Marla, As a matchmaker, and someone who has witnessed the dynamics of twenty two years worth of relationships, I say walk away from both. Relationships are based on many components. Trust, respect, loyalty, communication, love and so much more. You do not have faith in the first fellow and you describe the second fellow much like you would describe a reliable car. The car will get you where you need to go

but you don’t enjoy the ride. Being that you are in a childbearing age range you certainly are young enough where there should be many other options. Do not settle for a partner who is wrong for you. There are plenty of incredible fellows in your age group who are looking for love. Feel free to call me at 306 978-LOVE (5683) once you have terminated your relationships with these fellows.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Techno brooms the last straw

Bradford outplays Rodgers. • Darian Durant said last week’s win gives the 2-10 Riders a chance at the playoffs. Absolutely. Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, so I have a chance with her. • The World Curling Federation has banned so-called Frankenbrooms. The pivotal moment came last season when an over-swept rock ended up in the parking lot. • A Canadian mint worker is on trial for several counts of smuggling out bits of gold hidden in his bum. The trick worked for a while, but he was caught in the end. • A team of scientists has won an Ig Nobel prize for a study on liars. They found adolescents tell the most lies, elderly people the least, and Ryan Lochte the stupidest. • The NFL is drawing fire for going overboard on penalizing excessive touchdown celebrations. This prompted the L.A. Rams to ask: What’s a touchdown? • The WCF decided all curling brush heads must use one material, come from AS092616 Aaron

the same source and be one colour, based on exhaustive tests. Call it a broom with a review. • Sacramento mayor and ex-NBA star, Kevin Johnson, severely beat up a guy for throwing a pie in his face. My wife may say I’m missing the point again, but what kind of pie? • The City of San Francisco is suing developers of a luxury high-rise that is tilting and has dropped 30 cm in seven years. It has sunk so low, it’s gaining on the 49ers. • An ESPN analyst suggested it was crazy for the Lakers to sign Metta World Peace.

Views of the World

TC Chong, after seeing the movie Sully last week: “It was totally unrealistic. Capt. Sullivan crashed a crippled US Airways jet into the Hudson River and the crew gave passengers lifejackets and blankets as they evacuated. The last time I flew on that airline, blankets cost $3, and who knows how much floatation devices would have been.” • Why do we call it TMZee instead of TMZed? • From Torben Rolfsen: “What a job by Bill Belichick and the Patriots. They could probably start David Ortiz at QB this week and win.” • The best moments at the World Cup of Hockey: 1. The play of Team North America; 2. Phil Kessel’s tweet; 1. Larry Brooks of the New York Post covering John Tortorella. • From Bill Littlejohn: “By appearing on the cover of Time, Colin Kaepernick is now in a position to break the sports alltime single-season record for getting more out of doing less on the field. It’s a record

A fan at a U of S football game takes a selfie with the 50/50 sign. (Photo by Darren Steinke) currently held jointly by Anna Kournikova, Eddie the Eagle and Tim Tebow.” • Chong, on Kaepernick being voted the most disliked player in the NFL: “Wow, if it gets any worse, he may have to become friends on Facebook with Roger Goodell.” • Janice Hough, on Kaepernick being the most disliked player in the NFL: “Because kneeling during the national anthem is so much worse than assault, domestic violence and rape.” • The KHL might want to reconsider expansion into China. There were 550 people at a game last week in Shanghai — population 24 million. What were the other 23,999,450 doing? • From Rolfsen: “I liked Skittles better when they were associated with Marshawn Lynch instead of Donald Trump.” (Continued on page 21)

SASKATOONEXPRESS - September26-October 2, 2016 - Page 21 RM092699 Ryan

(Continued from page 20) • From @randyturner15: “The Bombers just added a receiver named Johnny Outlaw to the practice roster. But I’m not sure how he’ll work with offensive coordinator Paul LaPolice.” • Is he is a victim of low percentage play calls, or is Nic Demski not a very good football player? • Littlejohn, on Philadelphia coaches reminding quarterback Carson Wentz to stay out of harm’s way: “Wentz immediately made a vow to stay away from Santa Claus at Eagles home games.” • Chong, on Donald Trump going on record idolizing Vladimir Putin and Saddam Hussein: “The family of Idi Amin said, ‘What are we, chopped liver?’” • I have a question for my friends at CKOM in Saskatoon. Why is your clock two minutes slow? • From Rolfsen: “ESPN NBA Insider Tom Haberstroh says players are 3.5 times more likely to get injured on road back-to-backs than at home. Is that in the

game or at bars/nightclubs?” • Hough, on San Francisco streets being shut down over a suspicious object that turned out to be an abandoned empty rice cooker: “Open note to Americans thinking of dropping off their old crockpots, rice or pressure cookers at Goodwill: maybe now is not the best time.” • Chong, on Houston kick returners fumbling two kickoffs that led to 14 New England points: “Expect those two players to be trying out for Saskatchewan this week.” • I love the way the Patriots have stuffed it down Goodell’s throat these past three weeks. Not to stick my neck out, but I’m saying the Patriots are going to go undefeated this season. • From Rolfsen: “One of sport’s greatest traditions: O Canada at Safeco Field.” • Jimmy Devellano says he could win a Stanley Cup in two years with Team North American. I’m thinking what would take him so long?

Dear Reena, My dryer vent leads right onto my back patio and spews the fluff from the dryer all over the patio and into a garden. Can I put something over the vent to catch the fluff or would that be dangerous? — Caryn Dear Caryn, It is wise that you vent your dryer to the outside of your home, because allowing a dryer to vent inside can subject family members unnecessarily to gases, Household fibres and other toxins. It is also smart to Solutions clean your vent regularly. Lint should be removed from the trap often and the trap should be cleaned with soap and water to remove lint and fabric softener build-up. As well, vacuum the chute that holds the lint trap. However, even with all that, some of the lint sneaks past the trap and into other areas of clothes dryers. It is therefore necessary to have ducts thoroughly vacuumed out by a professional to avoid fire hazards. In order to catch some of the fluff flying into your garden, you can position nylon pantyhose over the outside vent, but you would need to clean it after every load. Dear Reena, We have two fairly expensive strawberry-coloured leather chairs in our living room. We have a dark spot on the couch where my husband’s head rested while he was recovering from surgery. It’s like an oil mark from his hair or skin. Do you have any suggestions on how we can remove these stains? — Joan Dear Joan, Sprinkle a liberal amount of cornstarch onto the area, but do not rub it in. Allow the cornstarch to remain for four hours to absorb the grease. Brush the cornstarch away and observe whether the stain remains. If a mark remains, carefully wipe the area with dish soap and water and leave to dry. If the mark is still there, purchase saddle soap or another leather cleaner to clean the area or contact a professional leather cleaner. Lastly, condition the leather so that it remains soft and flexible. Dear Reena, Whenever I make banana muffins, they turn out perfectly. Whenever I bake banana loaf, it sinks in the centre and never bakes evenly. Why is this happening? — Myrtle Dear Myrtle, Here are a few of the most common reasons for your sinking centre. One is over-mixing the batter: Only mix the batter until the ingredients come together. Over-mixing reduces the air in the batter so that the batter won’t rise to the challenge. Bake batter immediately after mixing because that is when the leavening agents are most active. Bake the loaf at 350F; any hotter than this will give you a loaf brown on the outside and unbaked on the inside, and boom – your centre will drop like a hockey puck. Finally, don’t pack your pans. A regular-size recipe should be divided into two or three loaf pans because pouring all of your batter into one little loaf pan hinders the batter from rising. Dear Reena, My colleagues and I have had an on-going debate that I am hoping you can settle. Can pizza be baked on a coal barbecue grill? — Tammy Dear Tammy, Yes, for that wood-oven taste made famous in Italy, barbecue your pizza. Prepare the coals for grilling. Use the indirect method if you have a covered grill. Move the hot coals to the sides of the grill in a circle just larger than the pizza. For extra flavour, sprinkle mesquite or hickory chips on the coals. Place pizza on the grill four to six inches above the coals. Cover and cook 15 to 25 minutes or until crust is brown, cheese is melted and the centre is hot. To cook a pizza on an open grill, place the pizza on a sheet of heavy duty foil or on a foil pan four to six inches from medium coals. Cover with foil tent and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Fantastic Tip of the Week: Cut down on homemade lasagna preparation with this easy technique. The common way to layer lasagna: Meat sauce, cooked noodles, cheese, then repeat meat sauce, cooked noodles, cheese, and repeat. A faster way to make lasagna: Prepare meat and cheese mixtures as normal. Combine all three layers (uncooked noodles, cheese and meat sauce) together in a bowl and gently toss. Grease your casserole dish and pour ingredients inside. Top with cheese and bake as normal. The sauce bakes the noodles and no layering is required. You will have much more time for doing all the other things you love, and lasagna won’t be such a time-consuming project. Why not give it a try? Did you know? The word lasagna originally referred to the pot in which the dish was cooked rather than the food itself as it does today. I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming.

SteelMet

Your stop for high-end Decor and Accessories

here are a number of words that describe Steelmet: service, quality, exclusivity and diversity quickly come to mind. Manager Michael Leier takes pride in applying them to the products being sold at a 36-year-old, family-owned Saskatoon business. In his family’s 10 years of ownership, Michael has seen the company evolve from being primarily known for its outdoor furniture to one that offers a diverse range of products and services. Quality outdoor furnishing and accessories are still the heart of the company, but many more options, both inside and out, are now being offered to customers. Michael takes pride in dealing with the best suppliers in North America. “I think you get better quality, a better product and better end service when dealing with North American manufacturers. We want to provide our customers with good service. We can get a lot of companies that are based out of Canada or the United States, but they might not manufacture their product here and that gives all sorts of issues from a quality perspective and a service perspective.” In Michael’s time with the company, Steelmet has never had a breakage with furniture.

“Unless people drop it out of the back of their trucks, so we make sure they tie it down,” he said with a smile. Among Steelmet’s tried and true outdoor furniture manufacturers is Seaside Casual. “We have been carrying their products for six or seven years. That is our recycled plastic. We really like it because it is meant to be left out all year round.” It is one of those products that is made in the North America, and has a 20-year warranty. “Our ﬁre tables are done by Home Crest Outdoor Living and are manufactured in Minnesota. So again it is another North American company.” Steelmet went Down Under for a popular new product this year. IndoSoul products have become world renowned. The company is recognized in Australia for its modern and contemporary designs on outdoor furniture. The word spread to the Mediterranean and now to North America. It is sold exclusively at Steelmet in Saskatoon. IndoSoul products come with a 10-year warranty. Michael is a big believer that consumers get what they pay for. Quality products cost more. Along with them comes style, longevity, service and warranty. He says if you take the price and divide it by the warranty, the math stacks up pretty well against mak-

ing a trip to a big box every couple of years to replace sets. Michael said the evolution of Steelmet has been exciting. “Customers tell us what they want and we get them what they want basically. Accessories are big. You get people who want to buy something that is an all-year thing as opposed to summer only. It is important to be different while still offering customers what they want. We have a nice grouping of core products that are unique and really high quality and have great brands behind them.” The store is currently decked out with a Halloween theme. Christmas isn’t too far away for those counting sleeps. “In the wintertime, we have a variety of Royal Doulton, Waterford and Wedgwood pieces. For Christmas, we have a variety of ornaments from them and giftware ideas. Right now we have Royal Doulton’s Hemmingway collection of vases. They have nice colours and they go well indoors or outdoors if you want to put a centrepiece bowl on your outdoor patio table, for example.” Michael points to a jewelry line as being a popular addition to the store. Steelmet is the only company in Saskatoon carrying Kameleon jewelry. It’s fun and inexpensive. “They do a JewelPop system so you have interchangeable jewel pops for rings and pendants. In essence, a customer can purchase one ring and change it up to 600 times. “They are based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and make a great product that is all sterling silver. This year they started doing 14-carat rose gold as well. “People collect them. Kameleon does awesome programs like buy 10 and get one free; with their loyalty card program.” Michael is excited about what next year will offer. He said there will be plenty of colour options, with consumers able to mix and match them. “A big thing right now coming out for 2017 is mixed materials. You are going to see furniture that has a composite frame with a wicker seat, or an aluminum frame with a wicker seat. There will be versatility so people can customize their furniture a lot more in terms of design and colour. Instead of their whole chair being one colour, we can customize it and make your chair two or three different colours. They can change the seat, the back, the arms.
