Merlis Belsher

Performs historic act of philanthropy

hen there is a deserving community project in the works, Saskatoon philanthropist Merlis Belsher is usually quick to act.

That’s what happened when Belsher was approached to become a donor for the construction of a $41.5-million ice facility which will go up at the University of Saskatchewan’s College Quarter, not far from Griffiths Stadium, the SaskaJW103103 James toon Field House and the Physi-

NED POWERS People

cal Activity Complex (PAC).

Belsher is contributing $12.25 million to the facility, which will be known as Merlis Belsher Place and will likely open during the fall of 2018. His gift is the largest from an alumnus or individual in the university’s history.

“I met with Don Gorsalitz and Kent Hartshorn in September 2015, and I knew there was a need to replace Rutherford Rink which had been in existence since 1929,” said Belsher.

“I asked some questions, they gave me answers and I offered a couple of suggestions which they seemed to like. Within a month, I made a financial commitment. It is the university where degrees in commerce and law helped me in my business enterprises.

“It is my community and I was sold when I noted the university included a second ice facility, adjacent to the Huskie arena. That was the equivalent of scoring a golden goal in my opinion. I was deeply involved in Saskatoon minor hockey for many years and they will become an immediate benefactor of this community rink.”

Belsher was simply following a strong belief he has held for years.

“There’s an old saying: You come into this world with nothing and you leave with nothing. In between, you are defined by what you do.”

Belsher is a doer of immense style and class. He remembers his roots, growing up in McCord, a south Saskatchewan community named after his grandparents. He recognizes the contributions of his teachers, from the first days of school through 23 consecutive years in education.

Partners in design open Cedar and Vine Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express o Stewart and Tyya Stewart’s first stitches in fashion design occurred when they were about 10 years old.

Back then, they made neon swimsuits, formal dresses and headbands. They laughed at the memory.

Still, those neon swimsuits laid the foundation for what was to come. Just 10 years later, the cousins are designing, manufacturing and marketing clothes under the name Cedar and Vine.

Jo is the designer, while Tyya does the marketing.

“We have always been partners in crime,” Jo said with a laugh. “We always got into trouble together. This is our next adventure together.”

Tyya said Jo knew at a young age where her career path would be headed.

“Since we were little kids, I would go over and Jo would have some outfit on the sewing machine.”

Jo said some of those creations weren’t very good.

“Our first attempts were maybe not the best,” she said. “My parents probably put up with a lot of embarrassment from what I would wear.

“I’ve always really liked building things and being creative and always had something on the go,” she continued. “My dad owns a steel fabrication shop and is super passionate about building things, and I think that kind of rubbed off on me. Sewing was a way I could express myself. It’s weird because nobody in my family likes sewing.”

Jo, a native of Weyburn, moved to SasSS103101 James katoon to attend the Academy of Fashion

Tyya Stewart (left) and Jo Stewart will display their work at the Saskatoon Fashion & Design Festival on Nov. 5-6 at the Bessborough Hotel. (Photo by Kelton Beach) Design. The 20-year-old graduated in April and is staying put. Tyya, who is 19, was born in Regina, lived in Hawaii for five years and now has spent five years in Saskatoon. Jo’s family has a home in Hawaii, so the two spent lots of time there together.

There was never a doubt Tyya would go from Jo’s partner in crime to her partner in design.

“I love, love business and I love arts.

We kind of knew it was logical if we went into business,” said Tyya, who is studying at the Edwards School of Business.

“We are both going all in. We don’t have anything to lose. We’re passionate, we are willing to take risks and we think we are going to do well.”

Jo says the two are opposites, and that’s what makes their partnership work.

“Tyya always adds some spice to my

life. I would say she is more energetic and always adds some spunk. She is always there to inspire me which is super important for an artist to have. I am lucky that everyone in my life that I care about really supports me. She’s a very positive person which is awesome, and a huge dreamer too. For her, there are no limits.”

Tyya says Jo is the calm one.

not shifting the balance of property tax further from business to residential, but he better take a close look at that platform plank.

The economy is also the biggest factor, in my opinion, behind crime. There are many others, but it’s huge. Economies that bust, especially after booms, lead to many layoffs and create financial hardship, which leads to crime and elevated pressure on social services.

We are indeed in some trouble here, and council does have a role to play. I wish them all the luck in the world in balancing these issues.

And now, a few election notes: Charlie Clark won with a better percentage of the vote than I worried a new mayor (whoever it was to be) would garner. Granted, he received only 3,000 votes more than incumbent Don Atchison, but he did get 41 per cent, which was better than the 35 to 38 per cent I feared. I’m not sure we can say he has an enormous mandate, but it could have been worse.

He can probably thank Kelley Moore’s campaign going off the rails in the final days for that, and for his machine getting out the vote. Clark and Atchison went after Moore for her inexperience, and they were proved right.

Moore would shoot back by saying she had plenty of experience as a city planner and social services bureaucrat, and correctly so. What she did not see was what a big deal her political inexperience

would become. Her missteps in alluding to re-evaluating staffing at city hall, and particularly suggesting that Clark and Atchison had their hands in the cookie jar (for which she apologized) deflated her campaign. She had many good ideas, but not enough political savvy.

Don Atchison, legacy-building aside, really deserves thanks for his many years on council and as mayor. Clark dissed him for showing up to 1,200 events a year, but people really appreciated it and it kept him accessible. He should, however, have added the Pride parade to that list of events.

Some people did not cast ballots because of the long lineups at the booths.

We were behind about two dozen folks when we arrived at dinner time, which in the past has been a safe time to show up.

When we left, there were another two dozen folks behind us. Can we please join the new millennium and figure out a faster voting process, starting with a voters’ list?

And we have six women on council.

One councillor is gay. One councillor is Indigenous. One is very young. We are developing diversity on council, and moving into a new day. Young people, for example, tend to be more environmentally activist; they drive less, are early adopters, and are likely to make a noticeable difference in a number of ways. It’s going to be a different city, Saskatoon. Fingers crossed it will also be a thriving and prosperous one.

Saskatoon author/historian wins prestigious literary award Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express t first, Bill Waiser met the news of his Governor General’s Literary Award for non-fiction with disbelief.

But after the disbelief came “a very nice feeling. I’m very grateful. I’ve been very fortunate.”

It’s unlikely anyone else was very surprised. Waiser is widely viewed as Saskatchewan’s (and Western Canada’s) historian, with an encyclopedic knowledge about, and sensitivity for, his subject matter.

The awards jury declared his winning book, A World We Have Lost: Saskatchewan Before 1905, “a sweeping blend of narrative, historical detail, and compelling images” and said Waiser “refocuses the country’s story by putting Indigenous peoples and environmental concerns in the foreground.”

Waiser, a prolific author, historian and former University of Saskatchewan professor, dealt with the province’s post-1905 history in his aptly-named 2005 book Saskatchewan: A New History. It was named one of the best books of the year by the Globe and Mail and received the Clio Prize by the Canadian Historical Association.

“At that time, somebody said, ‘well, what about the period before 1905?’” said Waiser in an interview. “I thought about it for a while, and I did other things, but I gradually warmed to the idea.

“Now with this book, I’ve completed the history of the province, before and after. I hope the two books will continue to have some resonance in the next few decades.”

He points out that the province’s history didn’t start in 1905, or with the settlement period. Rather, we have a rich history that goes back centuries, if not thousands of years.

“I also wanted to try and tell the story from the inside, instead of looking at what happened to the region. Usually it’s told in terms of people coming in, and settling and development . . . I wanted to turn that story on its head and try to tell the view from the inside.”

The book begins with Henry Kelsey, but instead of depicting him as the great explorer, he’s an outsider. Accepted into Cree and Assiniboine society, the Indigenous people take Kelsey inland and look

“He couldn’t have done that on his own,” said Waiser. “He didn’t know where he was going. And that’s my whole point.

Indigenous peoples were terribly important to this story. They’re front and centre.

They’re the major players.”

The other point he wanted to make was that climate was a big part of our history as well.

“Climate is an actor in this story and people had to respond to climate, adjust to climate. Climate is not constant. We westerners tend to think they discovered drought in the 1930s. Well, guess what, folks? There were a lot of droughts or dry periods before the 1930s and some of them lasted for hundreds of years.”

Asked if the book is an important part of the discussion around the relationships between newcomers and Indigenous peoples, he said, “I think this book can contribute to that discussion. If we’re going to have an intelligent, informed debate about some of these challenges and issues, we need to have an appreciation and understanding of our history.

“I hope that the book can serve that purpose.”

Law, commerce degrees lead to business success

H

(Continued from page 1) e has the utmost respect for Earl Weldon, his first mentor in business and the man who sold him the Weldon’s Concrete Products business in 1965, and the employees who made the company such a viable force. He places a high value on family, which today numbers five children and three grandchildren.

Belsher was born in McCord, where his grandfather had arrived from Shawville, Que., in 1912. His father, Milton, was a farmer; his mother, Inez, was a school teacher for several years.

In almost unbelievable ways, Belsher lost two grandparents and his parents in a space of months. His grandfather died in July 1949; his grandmother in August 1950, and then the worst of tragedies happened on March 16, 1951, when his parents were found frozen to death after a ferocious blizzard. His father was 61 and his mother 51 at the time of their deaths.

“Because of the blizzard, school was dismissed at noon on the Friday. I was in Grade 10 and 15 at the time. I helped a lot of other children find their way home. I stayed overnight with an aunt. My parents had borrowed a horse to pull the stoneboat (sled) into town because my mother was to catch the train to attend a missionary conference in Saskatoon.

“The blizzard continued all day Saturday. We did not have a telephone. When the horse showed up by itself outside my aunt’s house on Sunday morning, I knew something was wrong. I went to the farm to look for my parents. I was able to track the stoneboat to the edge of town.

I then went to the church for assistance.

My cousin and I went on a horse to the site. The stoneboat was propped up as protection against the snow and wind. My dad was a diabetic and I think he died first. The top of my mother’s pen was off and I think she was probably going to write a note.

“My mother was a writer. Just the day of the university announcement, I had a package of my mother’s stories and poems sent JW103108 James

to me by my sister, Elva. My mother really believed in education. She was a good community-spirited person — not feisty but strong enough to keep a beer parlour from being established in our town.”

Today Belsher owns 4,100 acres of farmland around McCord. He leases it all, but retains the land for sentimental reasons.

Belsher moved to Regina to finish high school at Luther College. He’d always been a hockey nut, but had never seen a basketball until he landed in the Luther gym. He was lanky and agile and was invited by John Chomay to play basketball. He played for Luther in the school’s first-ever legendary LIT, which Luther won, and he helped Luther win the Regina city championship that year.

In gratitude for his years at Luther, Belsher donated $2.5 million in 2013 to help Luther upgrade its gymnasium, locker rooms, some classrooms and introduce a student commons area.

Belsher moved to Saskatoon where he graduated with a bachelor of commerce degree in 1957 and was admitted to the Saskatchewan Institute of Chartered Accountants in 1960. He returned to campus again, graduating from law in 1963 and admitted to the Law Society of Saskatchewan the following year.

His first experience with Weldon’s was as a chartered accountant student on a temporary work basis in 1957.

“Mr. Weldon encouraged me to go back and get a law degree as well. The most valuable lesson I learned from him was to never give up. He was a man who survived a disastrous fire in the plant in 1954, suffered a heart attack and lost two children in a short period of time and he never gave up. I never saw him express any bitterness.

He always endorsed an ethical business practice,” said Belsher.

In 1965, Belsher became president and part-owner of the company and by 1974, its sole owner. He carried out buy-outs of six companies, enlarged plant capacity

U of S president Peter Stoicheff shakes hands with Merlis Belsher at the announcement of the historic donation. (Photo by David Stobbe) and dominated the market. Many of the accomplishments were in underground infrastructure, but the company’s columns and beams are visible at SaskTel Centre, and its concrete blocks and paving stones are visible at many university sites, including the PAC. Belsher sold the company to Expocrete Concrete Products in 2008 and the plant is now owned and operated by Oldcastle, an Irish-owned precast concrete giant.

He has often donated to educational and health-care services, including a $1.1 million gift to the Irene and Leslie Dube Centre of Mental Health.

Sport was always part of his life, primarily coaching baseball and hockey. He coached strong midget and juvenile teams with the Knights in minor hockey and was founder and coach of the Saskatoon Junior B Canadians, who are now called the Royals.

Belsher was active as a supporter, but not a partner, of the Spirit of Saskatchewan campaign which Bill Hunter launched to get a National Hockey League franchise in 1983. The bid failed to get the approval of the NHL board of governors.

In his own special collection of sou-

venirs, Belsher acquired the model of the 18,000-seat arena which Peter Batoni of Edmonton was going to build for Hunter at the time. It was never built, but may have been the inspiration for Saskatoon to build its own rink in 1988.

Belsher likes the manner in which the new university multi-sports complex will be constructed. He made a pitch for more seating, wanting the number to rise to 2,800 and additional standing room. The twin ice surfaces will be home to the Huskies, 900 students who play recreational hockey, another 650 for other recreation and a place for minor hockey. There will be 12 community dressing rooms. There will also be a two-court basketball/volleyball gym and sports fitness facility.

The building will be flexible enough to accommodate the fall and spring convocations, returning the events to the campus after years of being held at TCU Place.

“My life has been interesting, never boring, right from the days when I was 12 and had the responsibilities on the tractor and combine right through the really competitive days in the concrete industry,” said Belsher. “And as I age, I am still learning.’’

My wife’s father couldn’t run fast enough to the town hall for the justice of the peace to get the paperwork. That was the end of my first marriage.

This year I attended several weddings.

It’s incredible when I watch a young man or woman I’ve watched grow up walking down the aisle.

My prayers are always for a long and healthy marriage for the couple, unlike my failed attempts.

I want to highlight two of the weddings I attended. I went to my first gay wedding earlier in the summer. My niece was going to marry her long-time partner and I was invited.

There was no question of me going.

but the reality is they are. A political party can provide a voters’ list with identified party vote, along with a cadre of experienced volunteers. The candidate’s volunteers then contact the identified vote and encourage those party members to support their candidate. Works like a charm.

Virtual campaigns are the future.

Anything goes on these venues. If you plan on running, spend a year or two collecting unsavoury tidbits on your opponent and/or their family. Then line up trolls to spread the word online. It works, because subliminally, if people see or hear the same thing a couple of times, they believe it must be true. It is all about illusion.

It is also time to say goodbye to those who have served us over the years. The loss of Don Atchison will be felt in the years to come. With the exception of spending practices, he was a good mayor and ambassador for our city. Time will tell as to whether we “traded up” or just “traded in” with this election.

What I most admired about Don is that he is a gentleman of the old school.

Although he endured slurs and insults from some groups while serving as mayor, he never retaliated in kind. He should be honoured for his service and no doubt history will paint a positive picture of his reign. Thank you, Don. I have known Pat Lorje for many years, but we are not of the same political ilk. I didn’t always agree with her on issues, but I did appreciate that she had the guts to stand up against the status quo when the need arose. She represented her ward well over the years, but to everything there is a season and she was caught in the season of change.

The most significant outcome of this campaign was the historic election of six women to council. These women will have four years to prove to voters that they have the same strengths and abilities as men to be civic leaders and hopefully not just a spinoff of the Charlie’s Angels sitcom. It will take a while for them to get their feet wet, but I expect when they do they will walk this city into a harmonious future. Maybe next go round we will have a female mayor.

K.M. PAuLSON and R. POWeLL GOLDSMITHS: W

Always the right place for jewellery

hen Ken Paulson set out in 1986 to build a custom-jewellery business, more than one industry person said it couldn’t be done – at least, not in Saskatoon.

He didn’t listen. He opened a small shop on Second Avenue, named his company K.M. Paulson Goldsmith Ltd., and took up the challenge. Then, about a year later, fellow goldsmith and friend Russ Powell poked his head in the door.

“We had worked for the same company, and I had set out on my own as a custom-jewellery manufacturer,” recalled Paulson in an interview. “One day, Russ came up and said, ‘is there room for another bench?’”

Paulson was thrilled, and responded that of course there was room for another jeweller’s bench.

“We agreed he would do repairs, and I would do custom manufacturing. And it has been that way ever since.”

R. Powell Goldsmith Ltd. expanded over the years to include Randy Bunnah, Darcy Bridges and Richard Beck. Needing larger space, the two companies moved across the street to their present location.

Russ Powell has since retired, but the Paulson-Powell tradition lives on under the ownership of Bunnah and Bridges, who have added Cara Warnar to the staff. Joan Thomson joins Paulson on the manufacturing side.

Together, the four-member Powell staff has nearly 110 years of experience, while the Paulson duo has over 60 years.

The two companies are entirely complementary. Bridges tells the story of a customer coming into the goldsmiths’ shop and asking, “am I in the wrong place?”

Bridges replied, “you’re never in the wrong place.”

That story has become part of the shop’s lore, where the owners ensure that their

Then the manufacturing process begins.

Gold bar and gold plate are “manipulated by magic” into a piece of jewellery – or a wax model is carved, before being cast into gold.

Careful hand-finishing and gemstone setting are the final stages of the process.

The vast majority of Paulson’s creations are rings – engagement, wedding, anniversary, gentlemen’s and family rings, as well as customized sports rings and corporate rings.

Paulson, who has won awards for his work and was a finalist in the recent CanadaMark diamond ring competition, also designs and manufactures pendants, earrings, pins, bracelets and even watches; and is one of very few hand-engravers in Canada.

The website features about 4,000 photos, and another 3,000 are archived in albums from pre-Internet days.

Once the ideas are swirling, Paulson sketches the customer’s vision, “until the picture in my head matches the picture in the customer’s head. I like to make sure we have agreed on the vision before we proceed.”

The Powell crew also provides bead and pearl-stringing, and engraving services. In addition, they provide free estimates on their work.

Ring sizing is a large part of the Powell business, often completed with a day or two.

All projects receive focused care and attention, which is why the company’s motto is “quality since 1987.”

Saskatoon B’nai Brith Celebrates 62nd Annual Silver Plate Dinner Thursday, November 8th at TCU Place

By Boots and Jim Struthers

Answers on page 19

This event is the longest running charitable dinner in Saskatoon. B’nai Brith is the International Jewish men’s organization committed to doing charity work in local communities and in combating racism from the local to the international level.

This event raises money for the local Jewish Community and for many other worthy charities. The mandate for many years has been to focus on the needs of youth.

In keeping with that goal the proceeds have provided funds for many organizations including Optimist Hill Snowboarding and Tubing Park, the SPCA In-school Education program, El Sistema Music programs, the Children’s Health and Hospital Foundation, the Care and Share program, Ronald McDonald House, Saskatoon Preschool foundation, Station 20 West, the Future in Mind campaign, Crocus Co-op, the Free Theatre in the Park, the StarPhoenix Raise a Reader program and Big Brothers & Big Sisters.

B’nai Brith was a leading sponsor of the internationally acclaimed project, “Anne Frank in the World” held at the Diefenbaker Centre in Saskatoon in 2006. Almost 20,000 guests visited this moving exhibit which related the story of Anne Frank and illustrated the need to combat racism and persecution in our own communities.

At the dinner, the winner of the B’nai Brith “We’re Proud of You” award will be named. The award is presented annually to a citizen of Saskatoon who has provided an exceptional level of volunteer service to our city outside his area of professional responsibility and has not received public recognition.

B’nai Brith has partnered with the Saskatoon Community Foundation by matching a $5,000 gift to be donated to the charity of choice of the “We’re Proud of You” award recipient.

The members of the B’nai Brith are grateful to all those who have given the lodge the privilege of supporting so many worthy causes.

Modern bohemian meets function in fashions

The two make sure they have a weekly meeting. Everything has to be just so.

“We are all about personality and spunk and always have to start out at a very cute coffee shop,” Tyya said with a laugh. “We’re very into d’Lish (by Tish) right now so we can never have a meeting without having a really good espresso and really good music, because that is where the inspiration comes from.

“We sit down and we dream. We say everything we want in life, where we want to be, what inspired us that day, the pictures we really like — that’s what the looks come out of. They don’t come out of anyone else. I think that’s our demographic — those that are willing to invest in our personalities.”

Jo was asked to define her clothing.

“The brand is around what lifestyle we want and see ourselves having. It’s relaxed. I like the Bohemian vibe, but it’s more like modern Bohemian and functionality. Lots of people want to be different,

Tyya Stewart shows off one of Cedar and Vine’s pieces.

Both agree the natural beauty and lifestyle in Hawaii influenced the line.

“I think you can see a lot of resemblances in the contours,” Tyya said. “In all of her clothing you will notice the neckline; everything is kind of sculpted around the body. I think a lot of the lines and stuff have a Japanese inspiration a little bit.

That’s really big in Hawaii, too.

“Going forward I think the clothes are really good at targeting the clientele where you want to take a risk in fashion. You don’t want to be like everybody else; it’s an everyday lifestyle that we are promoting: be really unique, be funky, love what

ited her my clothes also reek of perfume.

I am highly allergic to strong odours.

How do I get the perfume smells out of my books and clothes? — Marion Dear Marion, Leaving books and fabrics outside on a dry day is an effective way to zap odours.

When you bring your items back into your home, soak fabrics in Borax and water before washing (according to the care label directions). As for the books, place them in a plastic container or garbage bag with either kitty litter or charcoal. Or lay the books in your freezer for a couple of hours. That should zap any lingering odours.

Dear Reena, We own a large, decorative cabinet that was built for our upper landing to provide more storage and look good. It has a shiny melamine surface, and we were happy with it until a large scratch was made on the surface by someone dragging a large glass ornament over it while dusting. Is there anything that can be done to reduce or eliminate this unsightly scratch? — Bruce Dear Bruce, SeamFil orAaron paint are both effective at AS021509

reducing the appearance of scratches on melamine. If the melamine colour is dark, you may want to soften a colour-matched crayon, fill in the scratch and then buff the area to blend the colour.

Readers Respond: Holes too large in salt shaker I read about the salt shaker problem with regards to the salt pouring out too quickly due to the holes being too large. I took the lid off my shaker and placed plastic wrap over the opening. Then, I put the lid back on and poked holes through the plastic wrap.

Problem solved. — Jewel Smelly cupboards What I’ve found effective to remove odours from cupboards or drawers is to put vanilla onto a cotton ball and then put the cotton ball into a cup. Leave the cup in the cupboard or drawer. It may take a few days, but the odour gradually disappears. You may have to replace the vanilla on the cotton ball about once a week. — Marion I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming.

You need to shake her off

Dear Lianne So here I am, a successful businessman. I’m tough as nails in the boardroom but putty in my ex girlfriends hands. We dated on and off for the past ten years. She always comes up with a reason to split up.

We stay apart and then reconcile.

Our reunions are spectacular but the relationship always ends up falling apart. Here is my dilemma. She wants to stay friends and talk all the

time. She called me when her tire was flat and when her faucet was leaking.

I drop what I am doing and run to her aid. I am not looking forward to a cold and lonely winter. I would love to hibernate with a lovely lady but I can’t seem to shake this one off.

A Romeo I Am Not

Fortunately, I am that outsider who is seeing very clearly when I look in!

The dynamics that are going on are extremely unhealthy for you. You are being artificially fulfilled each time you have contact with her. Your relationship has not and will not work for you. While I appreciate you wanting to come to her rescue, it is time you Dear Not a Romeo, start weaning yourself off of her and It is always so much easier to see the her off of you. Eventually, you may facts if you are an outsider looking in. be able to have a friendship. Right

now that is not possible as it plays emotional interference with your heart. Spend some time on your own.

Start to participate in local activities.

Take up curling in a mixed league and distance yourself from your ex girlfriend. When you are ready to move forward, I welcome you to call me at 306978-LOVE (5083) and we can explore the possibilities of Camelot Introductions finding you a wonderful, healthy relationship.

M&M Food Market: Real Food for Real Life

here’s one thing you can count on at the M&M Food Market – it will never stand still when it comes to bringing the best quality food to its customers.

This is more than evident these days as the 35-year-old Canadian business strives to let its customers know how important high-quality food preparation is to them.

Dave Bakalech, M&M Food Market’s area manager says it’s a commitment they stand behind.

“Our slogan is let’s make real food for real life. It’s something we are extremely proud about,” says Bakalech, in a recent phone interview.

When a customer puts a plate of food

TA103123 Tammy

down, they want to feel good about what they are about to eat, he adds. M&M strives to make sure that person is happy with the taste and the quality of that meal.

In fact, he adds, that holds true for all 440 different products customers can choose from at its stores, including four M&M convenient locations in Saskatoon: Eighth Street at the corner of Acadia Drive, The Mall at Lawson Heights, in Confederation and Willowgrove communities.

Some people may think M&M is only about appetizers and desserts, but Bakalech says it’s much more than that.

M&M Food Markets have options for every demographic including senior citizens, who don’t often want to cook just for

themselves, but would like a good quality meal at a decent price, Bakalech says.

“All of our great single-serve meals are also health conscious with no added artificial flavours, no trans fats, no artificial colours or sweeteners. All we have is good food.”

Prices for the single-serve meals start at just $3.99, a great value especially for seniors. Some of these options are shepherd’s pie, lasagna and cabbage rolls.

Here’s something you might not expect – the chicken pad thai is actually made in Thailand!

“Our food is authentic. You can count on that,” Bakalech says.

When M&M puts the ingredients

together for the meals, Bakalech says the products are expertly frozen at their optimal quality and freshness to retain flavours and nutrients.

Another new innovation for M&M Food Markets is the Click & Collect online product purchase option. People can browse the extensive menu at their leisure, order the products they want and then pick up the order up when it’s convenient for them.

“It’s a very good option for people to consider,” says Bakalech. “It can really ease the process of shopping.”

Saskatoon 55+ Lifestyles Regular Exercise provides many benefits

T

he number one reason that most people are out-of-shape is that they don’t exercise enough. This is true of ALL age groups!

I’ve often wished that I could give each and every one of my readers a personalized pep talk to get them up off the couch and into the gym, day after day. So here’s my pep talk in bullet form – 21 rewards that you will gain from regular exercise.

You’ll be stronger: Exercise improves muscle strength and endurance, two things that you use throughout each day.

When you exercise consistently you’ll be pleasantly surprised when difficult tasks begin to seem easy.

6

You’ll be less likely to binge: Exercise has a powerful anti-binge effect on the body. This is due in part by an increase in sensitivity to leptin, a protein hormone, which has an appetite-taming effect.

You’ll reset your body: Exercise has been described as a giant reset button. A good workout will block appetite You’ll burn calories: You know that swings, improve your mood and even help excess body fat is made up of stored you sleep. and unused calories. Fight back by burning loads of calories with fat-blasting workYour clothes will fit better: Consistent outs. exercise will tone and tighten your body, causing your clothes to not only fit You’ll be more confident: Who doesn’t better but to also look nicer. And exercise wish they walked and talked with more ensures that soon you’ll be trading your confidence? A consistent exercise program clothes in for smaller sizes. will help with that.

blood pressure to normal levels. A single workout has been shown to reduce blood pressure for the day and regular exercise reduces overall blood pressure in the long run.

11

You’ll lose the jiggles: Regular exercise tightens flabby arms, legs and waistlines. So wave goodbye to the jiggles with a solid exercise program.

12

You’ll increase insulin sensitivity: Researchers at Laval University in Quebec discovered that exercise improved insulin sensitivity dramatically.

Peak after-meal insulin levels dropped by more than 20 per cent after as little as 3 weeks of consistent exercise.

Lindsay Clark and Madison Miller own and operate Golden Point Bar & Grill.

Mother-daughter restaurant opens at rugby club Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express Opening a restaurant was the best of two worlds for Lindsay Clark.

For one, it allowed her to fulfil a long-time goal. For the other, it was the chance to work with her 18-year-old daughter, Madison Miller.

The two opened Golden Point Bar & Grill this summer at the Saskatoon rugby club, 134 English Cres.

“I have been a bookkeeper most of my life, but a lot of it was in the (restaurant) industry,” Clark said. “I really liked it and wanted to run a restaurant since I was probably 20 years old.”

With Miller graduating from high school in June, the timing was perfect for the two to go into business.

“She wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life and this just kind of came up so it is something we have been able to do together. It’s amazing. … I get to see her every day. She is managing the kitchen, so seeing what she has done and how responsible she has been is so impressive.”

Hours at Golden Point are somewhat flexible. It opens at 6 a.m. Monday to Friday, and typically closes at 7 p.m. That said, it will stay open for regular customers as well as for special events, such as

TA103124 Tammy

fundraisers. A pool league is being held on Wednesdays and darts on Mondays.

The grill opens at 3 p.m. on Saturdays and is closed Sundays.

Clark said the grill serves breakfast and basic pub food — burgers, appetizers, soups, sandwiches, and salads. Clark loves to bake, so desserts are also on the menu.

She said her location is a bit hidden so she is hoping word of mouth, advertising and signage will help attract customers.

She said workers in the vicinity have found the grill and the rugby players have been “amazingly” supportive.

“They want us to succeed,” she said, pointing out some of the players are in various trades and have lent their hands to helping with some of the renovations.

She said the best part has been working with her daughter.

“I was a single parent for 13 years so she knows if you want something you work for it. She has seen me run my own business for years and being your own boss is something that appeals to her because she has seen me do it for so long.”

The grill can seat 96 people, plus it has a patio.

Golden Point Bar & Grill is on Facebook and can be reached at 306-649-0109.

Creative studio fancies the start-up market

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express ancy that: a marketing agency that focuses on very small companies, instead of very big corporations.

Fancy, described by owners Michael Payne and Taylor Pfeifer as a creative studio, isn’t big on some of the usual advertising agency specialties, either — like doing ad buys.

Rather, they focus on graphic design/visual ID, branding, social media, marketing and website design and set-up. And tension, but more on that later.

“We pride ourselves on the quality of the work we do — influential, beautiful graphic design,” said Pfeifer. They get into the “DNA of branding. You can’t brand a company unless you understand them, and know what their goals are.

“We try to understand companies at a fundamental level. We care about them. To have someone partnering with them from the beginning is huge; it’s game-changing.”

The seeds were sown in high school, where Payne and Pfeifer met, and even then were always “thinking of ways to make money off our friends and increase our spending money,” said Payne.

They’d print T-shirts or hold art shows often connected to a cause that helped motivate people to come out.

After high school, Pfeifer went to graphic design school in California and Payne went to the University of Saskatchewan to study marketing. Pfeifer was freelancing in California, and Payne got a job in Saskatoon; but in 2012, Payne convinced Pfeifer to come back home. He landed a job at an advertising agency, and Payne was with a construction company, but both wanted something else.

“Lots of our friends and people we admired were starting businesses and having AS103123 Aaron good success with that,” said Payne. “We

F

started doing this thing on the side — we didn’t even have a name for it. It started off as graphic design, using Taylor’s skill set and my ‘people’ ability.

“We started off with just two or three projects, did some logo design, built a couple of simple websites. We started to see a slow increase in demand, and felt like this could be possible (full-time).”

It was all word-of-mouth, but it was working; and the two started discussing who would first jump into running the company full-time. In December 2013, after they’d been at it about a year part-time, Payne was suddenly laid off.

“That answered that question for us, as to who was going to go full-time,” said Payne. “I started and just worked as hard as I could, trying to develop relationships and chase leads we’d had before, but maybe didn’t have time for.

“Three or four months later, Taylor ended up quitting his job and going fulltime with me. We had enough business at that time to pay the bills.”

Then came the locational question. One of their bigger clients, a construction company, was looking for office space downtown, at the same time as Payne and Pfeifer were getting sick of working out of cafes.

They discussed planning a space together and sharing the lease costs. A friend and contractor, Drew Simonar, told them his father was doing a renovation of the building at 310 Wall St. and said, “this building is probably too big, but it’s really cool and you should check it out.”

It seemed perfect. With the construction company they wrote a business plan and came up with the concept for a co-working space, and Wall Street Common opened about a year later. Fancy did the marketing concept and got an office space, plus exposure and cash flow.

“It ended up being a big marketing

channel for us too,” said Payne. “It was an old warehouse building in the warehouse district; there were a bunch of city plans for north downtown; and it was the second co-working space in the city. That was what really propelled us and got our name out there faster than we otherwise would have.”

Aside from exposure, it introduced them to their new market: the people working in the building. As Payne pointed out, small businesses make up 98 per cent of the Saskatchewan business landscape; and startups can use all the help they can get.

“The people in this building have shown us how great the start-up community is, even if they have less cash flow. They have more need than the large corporations. ” The main hurdle was figuring out how to make money while still making marketing achievable and sustainable for small businesses.

So, Fancy developed a start-up package, in which the small companies pay a

SEE THE DIFFERENCE SERVICE MAKES

regular fee over 12 months; and it seems to be working, since Fancy (thisisfancy.ca) has built a client list of 50. It works well, because the early work a company needs — logo design and website development, for example — can be done in two or three months, but paid for in 12, also bringing Fancy a consistent income stream.

It has allowed them to hire Simonar full time, and another employee will join them in November. They hope to add a fifth person very soon.

“We’re trying to create jobs sustainably,” said Payne. “We’re finally at that point where we can afford to hire.”

Back to the tension aspect of the Fancy style, they’re trying some disruptive and some different things. For instance, when they started the company, they simply put “what is fancy?” on the website, leaving people to guess and discuss and wonder.

When they launched, people drew a sigh of relief. Finally, they knew what was up.

And they kept talking. And that’s word-ofmouth advertising.

SASKATOONEXPRESS - October 31-November 6, 2016 - Page 17

Brian Settee of Winnipeg was knocked out by Rodman Bateson of Brandon.

Paul Bzdel

A boxer and a gentleman Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express portsmanship is a beautiful thing.

Sometimes it is as simple as saying, “Are you OK?” Standing at ringside during the professional boxing card Oct. 22 at Prairieland Park, I swear I heard Saskatoon’s Paul Bzdel ask Francesco Cotroni of Quebec if he was OK. The two were in the late rounds of a fight for the interim Canadian middleweight title. In the boxing world, that means there was a lot on the line.

Both Bzdel and Cotroni had cuts near their eyes from head butts. Both were accidental and both fighters were apologetic beyond what you might expect.

But to hear Bzdel step back and ask Cotroni if he was OK after an exchange of heavy blows struck me as odd.

Two days after the fight, I asked Bzdel, who won a unanimous decision over Co-

S

troni, about that moment.

“Yes, yes I did because we accidentally head butted again, so I asked him if he was doing OK. You don’t have to dislike each other in the ring. People assume that you have to hate the person and stuff like that.

“It is a sport like any other sport. Do football players hate other football players?

No, they’re just playing a sport, right? Some might need that aggression to do it, but I just do the sport. I try to hit him so he doesn’t want to hit me anymore. It is almost like a self-preservation type thing. It’s not a want to hurt somebody else.”

The boxing Bzdel and the regular-guy Bzdel are different, he said.

“Outside of boxing I’m not an aggressive person at all. I’m aggressive in the ring.

He’s there for a purpose and I’m there for a purpose.”

Dennis Page of Page Sports Promotions said Bzdel is a great ambassador for the sport

• Residential • Commercial • Golf Course

Paul Bzdel of Saskatoon lands a punch in his title fight with Quebec’s Francesco Cotroni. (Photos by Cam Hutchinson) in Saskatoon and the province.

“I am so happy for Paul and our goal now is to get more people in the city to know who he is, that he is a Canadian champion and he’s a nice guy.”

Bzdel said it was nice fighting at home after losing three title fights on the road. There were 2,000 people at Prairieland Park, with very few cheering for the Quebec fighter.

“It was amazing having that crowd chant and cheer for you instead of against you.

Everyone has a preconceived notion that the hometown guy should win.

“The more experience I get, the more focused I am, but I could still hear it. For the most part, I listen for my coach and can tune everyone else out if I really want to. It was deafening though. It was hard to tune out and definitely gave me energy.”

Page said home-ring advantage is important.

“Paul has had a couple of shots at a title.

• Parts • Install • Service

He’s been placed in situations, hostile environments, where they were bringing him in to most likely lose.”

No more will Saskatchewan guys be tomato cans, being used for a notch in someone’s belt.

Page said it is important to develop local boxers to keep the sport growing and the fans coming out. He said there are some amateurs in the province that might be ready to step up to the pro ranks.

“We have to have Saskatchewan content.

Everybody likes to have a hometown champion in whatever sport you are in. I think it’s important, not only for the fans to have a hometown boy, but I think it is even more important for the fighters to have the crowd behind them.”

The smile on Bzdel’s face at the end of the fight said it all. He was wearing a Canadian Boxing Council belt. His grin was almost as wide.

SASKATOONEXPRESS - October 31-November 6, 2016 - Page 20

Adults get to be kids again in production of Charlie Brown Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express very time Saskatoon Summer Players stages a musical, the community theatre company plots a staging surprise that they jealously keep under wraps until showtime. For those who saw their production of Shrek, one of those pre-show secrets was the dragon.

Apparently, their upcoming production of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown is no different. Expect another feat of staging.

But Rob Armstrong, who plays Charlie Brown, was willing to divulge a few hints about the set.

“There are definitely a couple of things we want to keep under wraps,” said Armstrong in an interview. “But the construction team has done a wonderful job on the set. I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people how big it is.

“I’m Charlie Brown. I’m six-footthree, and I’m supposed to be playing a small child just over the age of five.

Everything needs to be a little larger than life. We have a mailbox that’s six feet tall.

We have backdrops that are 12 feet tall.

We made sure everything around us is large, so we do appear as children.

“The director, Kristie (Elliott), she had a vision, and what she’s been able to do with it is immaculate. She’s been very focused, and hopefully we can do her proud when we get it to the stage.”

He gives Elliott kudos for a great job in casting, because adults playing children isn’t an easy thing for everyone.

“There are times throughout the show where our singing isn’t as precise as one might be used to, because we’re children,” noted Armstrong. “The tone is a little closer to what a child might sing like, and thereJames are times where we are JW103109 singing a little more tightly, with great

E

harmonies. What a talent, vocally, in this cast.”

You’re A Good Man is a departure in mood from the last two Summer Players productions at the Broadway Theatre.

“In the past two years, the shows were a little more risqué — Rent and then last year, it was Cabaret,” said Armstrong. “It wasn’t that they were necessarily striving for having a family-friendly show, but it opens a lot of doors.”

It’s also not plot-driven, but a series of vignettes based on Charles M. Schulz’s famous Peanuts comic strips.

“If you’re used to the original Peanuts comic strip, a lot of them are one, two, three frames,” said Armstrong. “There are some scenes that are a little bit longer . . . but we do also have some scenes where a character will come out, feed one or two lines, there’s the punchline, and then it goes to the next two characters and their little block.

“There’s a lot of cute humour in there, and with it being family-friendly it will be enjoyed and understood by the children and the adults.”

The music was what drew Armstrong to the musical. He enjoyed the Peanuts cartoons, “but the music is spectacularly done.” The musical was originally written in the 1960s, and today’s version is largely the same except for two numbers that were added for the 1990s Broadway revival, where Andrew Rapp and Kristen Chenoweth helped bring it alive.

“It really did a lot for the rebirth of the show. It’s not on Broadway any longer – although it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s another revival in the next 15 years — but I know I’ve been in another production of it in 2011 in Regina, when I was living there,” said Armstrong.

“A lot of local theatre companies really enjoy it because the music is fun and it is

Heather Currie plays Lucy, and Rob Armstrong is Charlie Brown in the Saskatoon Summer Players’ production of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. (Photo by Britainy Zapshalla) accessible to all ages.”

One of his favourite songs is Beethoven Day, in which Schroeder, the big Beethoven fan, decides there should be an event to recognize the great composer. The song was added in for the revival, along with My New Philosophy, sung by Sally (Robin Burlingham).

Armstrong predicts that many girls between eight and 12 will be singing along with that song. “It’s very popular, very common.”

The show features six of the Peanuts characters — Charlie Brown, Sally, Schroeder (Jordie Hughton), Lucy (Heather Currie), Linus (Brady Moore) and Snoopy (Andrew Linsley). It runs just under two hours including intermission — “a nice length for kids, so they don’t have to sit through a marathon,” noted Armstrong.

Armstrong has recently starred as Shrek in the musical of the same name.

“We had a phenomenal run of 10 shows at the Remai Arts Centre. That was life changing . . . even now people recognize me on the street.”

He also participated in Music for the Gut, for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, and was in Grease last summer.

“I don’t think I’ve been involved in a show yet that didn’t sell out,” he said, with satisfaction.

Coming up next for Summer Players are Broadway in Love in February, which Armstrong is directing, and Spamalot, based on Monty Python’s Holy Grail, next summer You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown plays Nov. 3 to 6 at the Broadway Theatre at 7:30 p.m. nightly, plus a Saturday 2 p.m. matinee.
