Finding selfacceptance People share their struggles on new website
Naomi Zurevinski has created a website — This Is My Self — where people can share their stories on their searches for self-acceptance. (Photo by Ellen May-Melin) Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express aomi Zurevinski started using a weight-loss plan when she was 12 years old. She was bigger than the other girls in her dance classes. In her mind, being big and dancing didn’t jibe and society seems to feel the same way. “I always felt uncomfortable in my own body, so I wanted to fix that and solve that by going on a diet,” she said last week while sipping a cup of tea. “I tried to change my body in a way that was not healthy.” Zurevinski Tammy said it shocks some when TA070308

they hear that a 12-year-old girl was using a weight-loss program. She said the more she delved into it, the more common she found it to be among children, especially girls. Now, at age 23 and feeling pretty good in her own skin, Zurevinski is spreading the word on self-acceptance through a website — This Is My Self — that went live last month. “The purpose is I wanted to create a space for people to share their stories of self-love, but also for other people to go to if they are struggling with self-love.” The site includes Zurevinski’s struggle to accept herself, as well as the stories of
six others. She has another 15 stories and plans to upload them intermittently. “I think generally, looking at all the stories, the general message is ‘I am not perfect, I won’t be perfect and that’s fine and I’m still going to like who I am.’” Zurevinski’s struggles continued through high school and into university. “I just wanted to look a certain way and that was based on what I saw in media and other people in my school. I would say that is where it came from; more internalization of the values our society upholds. “In Grade 11, I really started to monitor what I was eating. I would try to restrict myself to 1,200 calories a day and do a
really intense workout.” She was eating mostly fruits and vegetables and nothing substantial. “I was always hungry, but I lost a whole lot of weight — 165 at my highest, then I weighed 130 which was a drastic drop in the span of time I was doing that. “I felt good for having lost the weight, but I didn’t feel any happier. I didn’t feel any better about myself because, looking back, the weight wasn’t the problem. It was a general lack of self-acceptance and self-love.” Zurevinski said she realized she had to address the mental side of her feelings. (Continued on page 6)

andy and I attended the Pride Parade a couple of Saturdays ago. I stood back and watched as Sandy snapped photos. I found myself thinking of how proud I am to live in Saskatoon. I was moved by the number of people — thousands — participating or watching the parade. It was nice to see church groups and schools, and politicians of all stripes and our various first responders participating. Members of the HMCS Unicorn looked really cool in their Mr. Clean white uniforms. There weren’t many floats and no marching bands, but it was wonderful seeing so many people having unbridled fun. We need more of that in this world. One of the people that caught Sandy’s camera’s eye was 97-yearEditor old Peggy Challis. Seeing Peggy waving her Pride flag was a memorable moment among so many. It was the first time I have attended the parade — my bad — but I am not apt to miss another. It was beautiful on so many levels. ***** Our city is really going to miss Police Chief Clive Weighill. (Thank you for that astute statement, Captain Obvious.) Chief Weighill was dealt a pretty bad hand when he arrived here, yet he slowly but surely changed the perception of the police in our city. The relationship between police and citizens is never perfect, but I can’t remember feeling so good about a police service in my 60 years here — although, admittedly, the first 16 are a bit fuzzy. Unfortunately, I have never chatted with Chief Weighill, although we crossed paths at a number of events. I wish him the best in his future endeavours and thank him for all he did for the citizens of Saskatoon. ***** The dress Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang Happy Birthday to President Kennedy will be in the province twice in the next month. It will first appear at a fundraising event in Luseland and then at the opening of the Save-On-Foods store in Saskatoon. Billionaire Jim Pattison, who is from Luseland and owns Save-On-Foods, paid $4.8 million for the dress. It won’t be part of a silent auction in Luseland, I’m guessing. It has been called the most famous dress in history, although I’m thinking the one Monroe wore in the movie Seven Year Itch — think air blowing from beneath it — and the one Monica Lewinsky wore in Bill Clinton’s office are right up there.

A: Yes, you can have both. The memorial or funeral service plays an important role in the grieving process and provides a dignified way to honour a loved one. A traditional funeral or memorial service can include a visitation which will allow time to reminisce, confirm the reality of death, honour a loved one in a personal way and provide closure. For more information, contact Greg Lalach, Manager:

Peggy Challis, 97, was one of thousands of people at the Pride Parade. The dress coming to the province was so tight Monroe wasn’t able to wear anything under it and she actually had to be sewn into it. It’s a good thing she’s not still in it. Here are a few bites of Monroe trivia: • Her IQ was 33 points higher than average. • Mariah Carey owns Monroe’s piano. Carey paid more than $650,000 for it in 1999. She has never played it and never will, she said. • Elton John’s song Candle in the Wind was a tribute to Monroe. • Hugh Hefner owns the burial site next to Monroe’s. Clearly, Hef is going to be a dirty old man for eternity. • Monroe would be 91 if she was living today. ***** Nice to hear Remai Modern will be opening its doors to the public on Oct. 21. It’s been a long haul and one filled with some hard feelings. But let’s put those aside and enjoy the historic moment. We don’t get to open galleries, arenas, theatres and auditoriums too often. I know the gallery is going to be really snazzy, but maybe there could be a small section for paint-by-numbers people or for those who go to those trendy paint nights. After all, art is in the eye of the beholder.

Murray Costello has a soft spot for Saskatoon. (Hockey Canada Photo) when they lost the Allan Cup final in 1923. Most of all, Hay’s father travelled at his own expense to create the Summit Series between Canada and Russia in 1972, the beginning of an unbelievable rivalry. One of the greatest joys for Costello was being president when Saskatoon was among the bidders to hold the 1991 World Junior Championship at its new Saskatchewan Place. “Peter Zakreski was our tournament chair and Grant Devine, the Saskatchewan premier, let us do some of the planning right in his office. The clincher came when Devine stood behind the provincial government’s offer to provide the financial guarantee. We liked that idea. “Among the greatest compliments I ever received, even years later, was that young European players came here to Saskatchewan and really liked the ethnic diversity. “Saskatoon was able to run mini training camps in some of the surrounding areas. Imagine the busload of Russian hockey players going to Delisle, having their bags carried into the rink by minor hockey players, and practicing there on the best ice available. It was the best ice because the temperature reached minus 38 on many of the days before and during the tournament. “Peter and his committee arranged for each of the eight teams to be headquartered in different hotels. Each team had a Canadian host that James spoke the language of their JW070305
team fluently. In Saskatoon, we arranged to have vocalists sing the national anthems in their native languages. “TSN broadcast all of the Canadian games. We won the tournament, 3-2, against the Russians on a third-period goal by John Slaney. It was pandemonium. European countries took home happy memories. And with the junior tournament, we never looked back after that. Thank you, Peter, for presenting our product in a great fashion.” Costello also acknowledged Saskatoon’s Dave King for “giving so much as a coach and administrator to the national team, truly it was amazing.” He also recounted the story of how, in the fall of 1953, he as a 19-year-old from South Porcupine, Ont., and Fred Sasakamoose, as a 19-year-old from Saskatchewan, met and skated at Chicago’s NHL training camp. “We didn’t meet each other again until today. Fred would like to see an indigenous player make the Olympic hockey team someday. But Freddy, when one does, he’s going to have to be able to skate like you did.” Scotty Bowman, who has been part of 14 Stanley Cup winners, and Fran Rider, a pioneer in women’s hockey, were also honoured with the Order of Hockey Canada. But the biggest winners soon will be the teams, the players and the facilities which will benefit from as much as $250,000 in the legacy fund.

think they actually called it that, but that’s what it was.) I probably don’t have to point out that policing is one of, if not the most important service provided to the citizenry of a community. The police force — any police force — must be well equipped, well paid, and adequate to the problems facing its community. Anything short of that leads to terrible problems, from openness to bribery to arrogance in service. Look around the world, should you not believe me. Perhaps most importantly, it must be well led. That leadership comes from the chief of police. Without an ethical, strong, intelligent chief who understands how to lead, you don’t have a police force with the same attributes. There was a time when the Saskatoon Police Service was not well led. In a word, it was a disaster. The culture was indeed arrogant, and among some officers, racist and socio-economically discriminatory. That culture began at the top, and led to the firing of a previous chief. Here’s where the media also came in. During the days when police officers drove indigenous men to the outskirts of town to freeze, in the day when Neil Stonechild was found frozen to death, leading to the firing of two officers, we could not rely on the sane and ethical practice of policing in this city. The StarPhoenix dedicated months
of effort into investigating the police. The city editor and the primary reporter on the case, Dan Zakreski, were constantly muttering in the background of the newsroom. Finally ready to go to print, the next day’s first section was completely covered with evidence that our police force was a mess. Without the newspaper’s dedication to this story, I don’t know how long it might have taken before the cleanup began. Hell ensued. Investigations. Inquiries. Firings. But in the end, Saskatoon became a different and much better place. And that’s partly because of Clive Weighill. The process had begun, but he took it to a new level. He has forged much stronger relationships with the indigenous community. He has pointed to the issues in our society and made it clear that policing alone cannot mop up the fundaments behind crime, such as poverty and discrimination. You can’t arrest your way out of crime, they say, and Weighill is all over that. Weighill has not only been our police chief, but a community activist. His intellect, passion, organizational skills and leadership have made Saskatoon a better city, with a much stronger police force. He announced last Tuesday that he has decided to retire, after 11 years as chief. If ever there were big brogans to fill, that would be now.

“I
(Continued from page 1) am a big fan of self-help books so I started reading a few of those on body image and then I also started to see someone in counselling services at the university. That really helped me make a better choice in terms of being kind to myself.” She said there was “general growth” during the next three years. “I started to feel better, started to eat normally again.” Now she is sharing her story and the stories of others on her website. She started to work on the project in August 2016, although the idea had been rolling around in her mind for a couple of years before that. She decided she would showcase the stories of others. That would keep the content fresh. “I felt if I just started my own blog on the topic it might be difficult for me to come up with things to say. There are not an infinite number of things to talk about.” A post on Facebook and her connections on campus attracted interest. Zurevinski was a reporter for the University of Saskatchewan’s student newspaper, the Sheaf, until graduating with a history degree this spring. “From that first post, I had eight people message me saying, ‘Oh, I’d love to be a part of this.’ So I haven’t had any issue with finding people. If anything, I have too many people,” she said with a laugh. She started an Instagram account months before the site went live. It quickly got 1,000 followers. “I think the topic really resonates.” She interviews and writes the story for each person. She said more women than men are participating and the age demographic is

between 20 and 35. “It is not specific to anyone but I think women are more inclined to talk about this.” She said people between 20 and 35 seem more comfortable sharing their stories. “I think that generation is more open to talking about mental health so that helps because people are very open to sharing their mental-health struggles. It’s more accepted. It’s not a hush-hush kind of thing. “I guess I have been surprised that people are so willing to talk about things. People have been very open, which is good.” Zurevinski says the website is broken into two parts. There are the stories and there is also a resources section. “I haven’t done a whole lot on that yet, but ideally it will expand to be tips, things that people have said that I couldn’t include in the stories — maybe recommendations for books and that type of thing.” Zurevinski said things are going pretty well in her life. “I am still a bit obsessive about trying to eat healthy. It’s always a process. There are such ingrained habits; it’s hard to let go of them. I generally try and eat healthy, but that’s more just trying to live a healthy lifestyle.” She said working on the project has helped her. She wants to set an example for others. “Obviously everyone has a day where you don’t feel great, but, generally speaking, I would say, ‘Yes, I feel good.’” For more information, visit www. thisismyself.ca.

issuade the Indians from the excessive indulgence in the practise of dancing.” That is what Sylvia McAdam found in a 95-year-old letter from Duncan Campbell Scott. McAdam posted the letter on her Twitter account and it immediately went viral. Duncan Campbell Scott was the deputy superintendent for the Department of Indian Affairs and worked for the federal department for 52 years. Columnist He oversaw the system of residential schools, the purpose of which was to “kill the Indian in the child.” This was no surprise to me, as I have seen other letters, policies, and standing orders from the old Department of Indian Affairs. Some are darn right silly, like Indians shouldn’t be allowed to gather “lest they conspire to create havoc” or because of “the likelihood of spreading disease when gathering.” Duncan Campbell Scott failed horribly on two fronts. Today, Indians dance and the “kill the Indian in the Indian” didn’t happen. Yes, some of our First Nations are wounded, but far from being killed. It has taken a couple of generations, but today’s First Nations are healing, mending wounds and once again pride is found in our identity. A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting by a lake at a northern resort. The lake was once used for sustenance. The lake provided everything people needed to stay alive in a harsh environment. Then commercial fishermen came along. It didn’t take long for that industry to collapse because there were too many fishermen and not enough fish. The lake was then turned into a “fun lake,” where families go for their summer vacations. Motorboats, sailboats, kayaks, canoes and jet skis can now be seen on the lake. This has provided business and employment opportunities for the locals, but days of quietly fishing from the shore are gone. As I enjoyed my evening rest, an older First Nation man came and sat with me. He told me stories about the lake when he was young. “Today everybody wants to be an Indian. When I was young, I had to fight because I am an Indian.” I found his comment ironic because Duncan Campbell Scott’s envisioned idea of “killing the Indian” only gave strength to Canada’s First Peoples. As for his “dissuade the Indians from the excessive indulgence in the practise of dancing” letter, he once again underestimated the courage of the nation’s founding peoples. Dancing is critical in the culture of indigenous people. The circle can never be complete without dance. As for me, I could be called the “Happy Feet” of the aboriginal community. In high school, I was the only First Nation student, but I didn’t have a shy bone in me. From one end of the hallway one of my friends would holler, “Ken, let’s see your happy dance,” and I would dance all the way down the hall. It wouldn’t take more than a second or two before I was joined by other students. All across this great land Indians will dance. It doesn’t matter what kind of “Dirty Dancing” letters, polices and standing orders there are. The moccasins of the dancing Indian will never stay still. KNCREE@gmail.com

Shebelski on Shakespeare stage for seventh time
Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express ummer in Saskatoon just wouldn’t be the same without Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan. The beloved annual theatre festival kicks off this week – on July 5 – with its production of Twelfth Night. Richard III will start the next day, on July 6, and the shows will run in repertory until Aug. 20. Award-winning actor Jamie Lee Shebelski – who has more than 50 professional theatre credits to her name – is taking on the role of Viola, the heroine and protagonist in Twelfth Night. Shebelski, a graduate of Ryerson Theatre School and Canada’s National Voice Intensive, is certainly not new to the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan stage; over the years, she has taken on a number of roles with the company, including Emilia in Othello (2015), Ophelia in Hamlet (2012), Rosaline in Love’s Labour’s Lost (2011), Jessica in The Merchant of Venice (2010), Bianca in The Taming of the Shrew (2006), and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet (2005). Here, Shebelski speaks with the Express about what it’s like to play Viola, what keeps her coming back to Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, and the challenges and rewards of bringing Shakespeare’s plays to modern audiences. Express: You play Viola in Twelfth Night. For those people who can’t remember this particular Shakespearean play – or for those who haven’t read it – what is all about? JW070307 James
S
Shebelski: Twelfth Night is a fun and complicated gender-bending romp, with trickery, miscommunication, and razorsharp wit. A shipwreck leaves Viola alone in the strange world of Illyria, as she falls in love and tries to accept the fact that her twin brother drowned during the wreck. Or did he? Express: What is it like to play Viola? Shebelski: Fun and complicated – the theme of the show! I do my best to pull off convincing drag. Express: Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan is known for putting its unique spins on traditional Shakespearean works. What can audience members expect with Twelfth Night? Shebelski: Bluegrass! Instead of the usual juxtaposition of a Shakespeare play with a specific time period, this time we’ve juxtaposed the genre of bluegrass with the story of Twelfth Night. It’s a very poetic concept. Express: By my count, this is the seventh summer you’ve spent with Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan since 2005, when you first played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. What keeps you coming back to the festival stage? Shebelski: The audience, the plays, and the river valley. I love the enthusiastic patrons and volunteers, the beautiful stories we get to tell, and spending the summer on the banks of the river. Express: What Shakespearean role have you enjoyed the most, and why? Shebelski: I can’t choose a favourite;
it’s like picking a favourite child. They’ve all been wonderful – but Jessica from Merchant of Venice holds a special place in my heart, when I shared the stage with the incomparable Henry Woolf. Express: This year Twelfth Night is being directed by Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s artistic producer, Will Brooks. He is also your husband. What’s it like collaborating on a theatrical endeavour with your spouse? Shebelski: I love working with Will. We actually work very well together. I respect both his artistic vision and his leadership skills very Jamie Lee Shebelski plays Viola in Twelfth much. Night. (Photo Supplied) Express: What do you see as the biggest challenge in bringing Shakespeare to modern audischool, but these stories are meant to be ences? performed, and they depend so much on Shebelski: Probably the language. the relationship between the actor and People are afraid they won’t understand the audience. You need to experience the it. But as long as the actor understands plays, not study them in a book. what they’re saying, it’s actually very easy Express: What do you think is the to communicate the story. Unfortunately, biggest reward? some people are really turned off from Shebelski: The audiences’ reactions. Shakespeare by having to study it in high We do it all for them!

Celebrate Saskatchewan’s early days at Pion-Era
Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express elebrating the sights and sounds of prairie days gone by, Pion-Era offers something for the whole family. The two days of fun and entertainment at one of Saskatoon’s longest-running summer traditions will be held on July 8 and 9 at Saskatoon’s Western Development Museum. “Pion-Era has run annually since 1955,” said Brenda Mundell, Pion-Era co-ordinator. “It was originally designed to celebrate Saskatchewan’s 50th anniversary. Today it’s a two-day celebration of early life in Saskatchewan.” Pion-Era’s Story of Threshing show conveys the history of early 20th century agriculture. An old-fashioned harvest show will be presented twice on July 8 and once on July 9. It will be followed by the Parade of Power presentation, which showcases steam, gas and horse-drawn vehicles. The children’s tent opens at 11 a.m. each day with activities and games,
C
including those that were enjoyed by grandparents and even great-grandparents in their childhoods. Solving the Pion-Era puzzle presents kids with an opportunity to take home a prize package. “The Vintage Fashion Show showcases vintage clothing from the WDM’s collection,” said Mundell. “This year the show features a parade of made-in-Canada women’s clothing in red and white to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.” People are invited to kick off PionEra weekend with a hearty harvest pancake breakfast on July 8 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the WDM’s Saskatchewan Hall. Tickets are $5 per person, plus gate admission. On July 9 there will be an outdoor interdenominational service and hymn sing at 10 a.m., and a brunch with featured entertainment by Cash Back – A Tribute to Johnny Cash. Tickets for brunch and the performance are available in advance at the WDM store or by calling 306-931-1910. For more information, visit wdm.ca

Music festival embraces many cultural backgrounds Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express ral Fuentes is passionate about celebrating Canada’s cultural diversity. The Saskatoon musician, who is originally from Belize, is the driving force behind the Saskatoon Reggae and World Music Festival, which is set to take place on July 8. The event will feature music, dance, workshops, and Caribbean food, and will include musicians and performers from a variety of cultural backgrounds. “Canadian culture is so rich,” said Fuentes. The festival dates back to 2005, when a group of musicians hosted Caribbean and Latin parties, with local DJ Juan Valdez, at the Odeon Events Centre. Formerly called the Saskatoon Reggae Festival, the event’s name was changed to the Saskatoon Reggae and World Music Festival to be more inclusive of a variety of musical genres and cultural backgrounds. For the second time since 2015, the NH070301 Nathan
O
festival will be held in W. E. Graham Park, located at 639 Broadway Ave. The festival was previously held there in 2015, before taking a break in 2016 due to construction in the area. Fuentes credits Kevin Tobin, the artistic director of the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, with suggesting the festival move to the spot behind Victoria School. Fuentes said the location fosters more community involvement in the event and is a good fit because the Broadway area is “a centre of the arts.” He is pleased with the support for the festival from Broadway merchants and the area’s business improvement district, and he has big aspirations for the festival going into the future. “We want to create more of a festival that’s kind of like the Fringe,” said Fuentes. “Eventually we would like to see people coming to the whole Broadway area.” Attendees at this year’s festival will have the opportunity to watch and listen to a variety of great performances, including

Unlucky puck luck?
By RJ Currie oronto columnist Steve Simmons claims the Maple Leafs are closer to a Stanley Cup than many think. Right. And I’m closer to dating Kate Upton than many think. • Tim Hortons is offering poutine doughnuts on July 1 to salute Canada’s 150th birthday — but only in the U.S. Unless I’m mistaken, this is how Canada won the War of 1812. • At the NBA awards, Russell Westbrook was named the league’s MVP. A surprise winner was Giannis Antetokounmpo for most improved speller. • I’m not sure why anyone adorns their rear-view mirror with a dream catcher. I am sure I don’t want them driving behind me. • According to a new study, the majority of divorces happen in late August. In a related story, the NFL season starts in the first week of September. • When the ice girls in Dallas aren’t helping with resurfacing, they can often be found executing cheering routines in the stands. Call it Dancing with the Stars. • Enough already; I’m not that interested in which NBA team will sign Paul George.
Unless they also find a rookie named John Ringo. • TMZ reports Pats receiver Rob Gronkowski and about 20 unidentified drinking buddies racked up a booze tab of over $100,000. I’m guessing Gronk wasn’t the only tight end. • New Edmonton Oiler Ryan Strome says last season he had “unlucky puck luck.” He also firmly believes in not using no double negatives. • John Wall said his Wizards are one piece away from an NBA championship. Sounds like Wall is a few cards away from a full deck. • Russia reportedly interfered with voting in at least 39 states during the 2016 elections. In a related story, President Trump awarded three U.S. Open titles to Anna Kournikova. • Odell Beckham reported to Giants minicamp with “Shhhhh!!!” on his Nikes. Not to be outdone, Browns players this season will have “Wake up!!!” on their cleats. RJ’s Groaner of the Week Beatrice High School in Nebraska held a summer football camp led by NFL lineman Richie Incognito. Bully for them.

Serena would clean the court with loud-mouthed McEnroe
J
anice Hough, on John McEnroe saying Serena Williams would be ranked 700th in the world if she played on the men’s tour: “I’d put money on Serena even though she’s seven or eight months pregnant. Actually, she could dispatch him between contractions.” • Torben Rolfsen, on the NHL draft: “Each of the teams’ front office personnel was joined onstage by a little kid wearing the team’s jersey. In the Oilers’ case, it was the player they drafted.” • TC Chong, on United Airlines announcing it will serve pizza on flights lasting more than 3½ hours: “Of course if it’s not delivered to your seat in that time, it will be free.” • Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are going to meet at the G20 Summit. I’m sure they’ll have a blast swapping election stories. • Rolfsen, on the Vegas Golden Knights choosing Cody Glass with the sixth pick of the draft: “Did you notice he had the beaming smile of someone who narrowly avoided being picked by the Vancouver Canucks?” • Hough, on a woman suing a New York bar after she tore her ACL because they allowed her to ride their mechanical bull while visibly intoxicated: “Isn’t being visibly intoxicated a requirement for riding mechanical bulls?” • It makes me happy that the CFL hired a Canadian to be its commissioner. By all accounts, Randy Ambrosie was a great choice.
• From Rolfsen: “Dennis Rodman said people don’t see the good side of North Korea. I do — it’s called South Korea.” • Hough, on the new owners of Trump International Hotel Toronto making a deal to have the Trump name taken off the property: “Many wish the White House could make same deal.” • Chong, on the Toronto hotel dumping Trump’s name: “It will also no longer be selling Time Magazine in its gift shop.” • You know how some deaths hit you hard even when you don’t know the person? Dave Semenko’s did that to me. • A line RJ Currie wrote years ago: “What’s the big deal about Wayne Gretzky babysitting Robin Thicke when Gretz was traded to the Kings? By then Dave Semenko had spent years babysitting Gretzky.” • Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the president of the United States, on visits MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski made to Trump’s Florida estate: “. . . she was insisting on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a facelift. I said no!” • Hough, on Trump accepting French President Emmanuel Macron’s invitation to attend Bastille Day ceremonies: “First someone will have to tell Trump what Bastille Day is.” • From Rolfsen: “LeBron James not being a finalist for MVP this year is like leaving Slash off a list of best Guns N’ Roses guitarists.”

Threeversus-three hoops opens new door for Huskies grads Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express ichael Linklater never thought going to a three-versus-three tournament on a whim would start a new beginning in basketball. About five years ago, he was approached, along with Michael Lieffers, about playing in a three-versus-three basketball tournament in Edmonton. Both had wrapped up their careers with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies men’s team, with Linklater’s last game coming in the Huskies’ U Sports national championship win in March 2010. The duo decided to round up a couple of other grads that were part of that Huskies championship team and go have some fun. “We went out and played in this tournament in Edmonton thinking we were going to win a trip to Puerto Rico and go on vacation and just enjoy some sunny weather,” said Linklater. “It turned that we would qualify for the World Tour. “We realized that if we did well in Puerto Rico we were going on to the World Tour finals. We ended up doing well. “We went to the World Tour finals which were in Istanbul, Turkey, at that time. We ended up finishing that tournament placing sixth. It was a good showing

This year their team also consists of Nolan Brudehl, who was another member of the Huskies’ 2010 national championship team, and Steve Sir of Edmonton, who used to play professionally in Europe. The foursome will be one of the competing teams at the FIBA 3x3 World Tour Masters event, which is set for July 15 and 16 in Saskatoon and will be held in conjunction with the Taste of Saskatchewan festival.

There is a 12-second shot clock, and the ball has to be cleared beyond the arch. After a basket is scored, it is live for the other team to take possession where the ball falls. “There are so many touches,” said Linklater. “There are so many shots going up and a lot of dunks happening. It is a lot of fun.” Basketball is just part of the showcase at a World Tour Masters event. Saskatoon’s stop is expected to include a slam dunk contest and shootout contest, which will

An amateur three-versusthree tournament is being planned to take place on satellite courts alongside the main tournament court. “At the world tour level, we absolutely love the environments that these events create,” said Linklater. “It is an exciting game as it is on its own. “When you add the environment of a lot of the things that are going on for the spectators, it is a fan experience event.

(Continue from page 12) here is a lot of interaction that is going on. It is almost like everyone has a kind of a court
side seat.” Linklater said Lieffers will enter the dunk contest and Brudehl will enter the shooting contest, if they feel up to it. The local side focuses on trying to win the tournaments they enter. Besides the entertainment around the games themselves, Linklater said it was big to have the World Tour Masters stop hooked in with the Taste of Saskatchewan. “There are a lot of people that aren’t necessarily sporting fans that don’t have their ear to the ground for some of these sporting events,” said Linklater. “What Taste of Saskatchewan does, they are bringing out I think close to if not more than 10,000 people a day to the river bank. “What that does is create its own environment to also funnel some people over to possibly catch a game or two. To have those two going hand in hand I think will just benefit each other. “There are some people who will be coming down specifically for the sporting event from out of town who will have an opportunity to experience the Taste of Saskatchewan.” As for his team, Linklater said it has been neat to have an extended hoops career playing with a couple of teammates from the 2010 national championship team. He was the point-guard on that Huskies squad, while Lieffers and Brudehl were forwards. “It has been great that we’ve been able to not only stay in contact but continue playing and travelling the world together,” said Linklater. “A lot of our chemistry is still there, which is a big help in terms of why we have been successful.” TA070302 Tammy The Huskies links are assets in a couple
of other ways. Former Huskies men’s hoopster Jordan Harbidge, who is a co-owner of Ignite Conditioning, sets the team up with a conditioning program. The three Saskatoon-based members scrimmage with the current Huskies during the summer thanks to the help of U of S head coach Barry Rawlyk. The World Tour Masters stop will mark the first time the local trio on Linklater’s team will participate in a competitive hoops competition in Saskatoon since they each graduated from the Huskies. “The basketball community has always been behind us, and they continue to follow us on social media,” said Linklater. “For us to able to get a chance to play in front of our home crowd is going to be a phenomenal experience, bringing us right back to our championship days.” Linklater hopes there will be new adventures on the horizon after the Saskatoon tournament. The FIBA version of three-versus-three basketball was recently added as one of the new sports to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. As far as individual player rankings were concerned, as of June 20 Linklater was rated as the ninth best player in the world in the three-versus-three game, Brudehl was rated 10 and Lieffers 18th. Linklater said optimism is high about going to Tokyo in three years. “Once the announcement came, it was exciting news,” said Linklater. “It is a possibility for us to go to the Olympics. “We don’t know exactly what the process is going to be for Canada Basketball and how they decide to send representation. For us to be one of the top teams in the world right now, it gives us hope.” (You can see more of Darren Steinke’s work in his online blog stankssermon. blogspot.ca.)

WHO DO THESE GUYS THINK THEY ARE???
Dear Lianne I’m a early sixties woman who is financially set. I am wanting to meet someone. I have a great, full life and am wondering if I intimidate men. I’m fit, stylish and have a heart of gold. I travel, golf and have great friends. Upon the urging of my friends I created an online profile. I was excited by the potential of some of the fellows who reached out to me. I actually have met a few men. They all seem to be looking for the next best thing. The first guy expected that I would join him in bed after a coffee and croissant. I laughed and
declined. Needless to say, that was the end of him. The next fellow who was potentially worth a second meeting, looked at me as we left the coffee shop and said, “I might call you.” I thought don’t bother but didn’t say anything. I actually was secretly hoping he would. How can a man determine by a 15 minute coffee meeting if I’m the one? The rest weren’t as they described themselves. I’m getting tired of these fellows treating me like I’m not good enough. What should I do and how is a matchmaker different? – Cecile
Dear Cecile, Unfortunately, your story is all too familiar. I have been a matchmaker for twenty three years, long before online dating made it’s debut. I have witnessed a shift in dating practice where as a result of online dating people are often treated as if they are disposable. Working with a good matchmaker should eliminate this. My clients must follow a code of conduct, which simply is treating people respectfully. We coach our clients and have met each and every one if them in person. We have criminal record checks
on all of our clients and they must be non-smokers. Online dating has lost it’s appeal and old fashioned matchmaking has become the tried and true way to find love. Do not compromise your standards by accepting inappropriate behaviour from people you meet. Feel free to visit my website at camelotintroductions.com and read the section about the differences between a matchmaker and online dating. Call me at 306-978-5683 and we can talk about how finding love through us is so much better.

Community Farmers Market celebrates 10th anniversary
Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express he Community Farmers Market of Saskatoon is celebrating its 10th anniversary. While festivities will be held at a later date, the market has been open for a couple of weeks this season. Chris Dunlop, the president of the market, said there are fresh goodies on every table. Among them are baby potatoes, peas, radishes, lettuce, onions, dill and kale. Throw in Mennonite sausage from another vendor and you have a mighty fine meal. The market is located at two spots in the city. One is in the parking lot in front of London Drugs on Eighth Street on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the other is on Thursdays on 51st Street in front of Peavey Mart. Hours each day are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dunlop said the market’s opening is on schedule this year after an atypical 2016. With last year’s warm spring, produce popped up a couple of weeks earlier than usual. “Last year I had asparagus on May 6th or 7th. Typically, I would have it on the 20th or 21st. That’s pretty much what this year was. Last year we didn’t have frost after May 2nd. This year we had frost JW070302 James
T
in the middle of May, and just last week some people had some.” He said things are going well on his farm, which is in the Clavet area. “We’ve had timely rain out here and the weather has been pretty much normal heat wise.” Dunlop is a veteran of the vegetable trade. He’s been a regular at the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market as well as a mainstay for the past nine years at the community market. He specializes in carrots and potatoes. He’s had baby potatoes for two weeks. In the next week or two, he is expecting green beans and carrots. The community market has had a number of locations over the years before finding its current homes. “The market has really stabilized over the last three or four years,” Dunlop said. In addition to the veggie farmers, the market has three bakers, a new member selling homemade pasta noodles and two new honey vendors. There is also Mennonite sausage and fruit comes in from British Columbia. Some vendors do not participate on all three days. “We try to focus on the farmer part of the farmers market. Other than the fruit, everything else has to be local and homemade.”
