Vi Mizuno sets mark in weight throw Vi Mizuno made her final throw count at an international track and field event. (Photo by Cam Hutchinson) Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express i Mizuno had one throw left at an international masters track and field event last month in Toronto. The Saskatoon athlete knew she had to hit 11 metres in the weight throw to win the North American — and beyond — championship. A woman from British Columbia had thrown theAaron weight 10.93 metres.

Mizuno trusted her training when she stepped onto the concrete pad for her final attempt. “By the time you get up to throw, if you don’t have the technique down, it’s too late. It’s a matter of doing the habit thing that you do a million times. Just get up there and throw,” she said during a recent interview at Griffiths Stadium. Mizuno asked the official to mark
The Glen at Crossmount Presents our 3rd Annual:
where 10 metres was in the landing area. The official did so and stood at the 11-metre mark. “I threw it right at him. It was so cool because he said, ‘You knew where you wanted it to go.’ It was exciting because I knew I had the gold and had broken the record.” Mizuno threw that sucker 11.19 metres. It was her last event in three days of
throwing in the age 65-and-over competition. The first day was a pentathlon with competitors competing in discus, shot put, javelin, hammer throw and weight throw. Mizuno came home from Toronto with the gold in weight throw and bronze medals in discus and javelin. The meet also served as the Canadian Masters track and field games. (Continued on page 11)

Overeaters Anonymous may have saved woman’s life

“I was not very pleasant to my first husband because he suffered a lot in the relationship. I had a very angry personality and a very secretive one, too. I would do all the things that the alcoholics do. I wouldn’t eat in front of my husband and I’d lie to him about how much I’d eaten. By looking at me, you could tell I was eating too much and that was very frustrating and hurtful to him. “I felt bad for him at the time, but I credit the program for the fact that as a result of the 12-step program I have been able to maintain a friendly, cordial relationship with him. He’s one of my oldest friends. I am very happy.” Over a cup of tea, Michelle talked about her life three decades ago and her life now. She has maintained a 35-to 40-pound weight loss for 29 years. She said that beats the odds because those who try other weight-loss methods tend to gain it back within two years. She said the peer support OA provides is the only thing that has worked for her. And she tried just about everything.
She remembers the shame she felt in her overeating years. “I would go into fast food places and order meals for two people, making sure the staff knew the meals were for two people, only I was going to eat it all. I would hide the debris of my binges when I lived with other people in the garbage so they didn’t see. And I would never, ever eat or overeat in front of other people.” Michelle was active. She was young, she went to a gym and she rode a bike. “To look at me and look at what I ate in front of other people, you’d think, ‘Why is this woman pudgy?’ But if you looked under my bed or in the garbage can you would see all the boxes and wrappers and bags.” Michelle is a sugar addict. “People in AA talk about your bottom — that point where you realize, ‘My God, I really have a problem.’ At my bottom I realized when I ate sugar my behaviour was really bad.” The success of AA inspired her to give OA a try. “That gave me hope. I had tried coun-
selling and that didn’t work. I had tried some of the weigh-and-pay places — not many — because I was a student and had no money. I tried some of the nutritional counselling.” She said her doctor was a source of frustration. “Every time he saw me, he would mention that I was overweight just in case I hadn’t noticed. He had a pad in his office and he would peel off this 1,200-calorie diet, reach across the desk and say, ‘Perhaps you should try this.’” She figures she was handed 10 or 11 of those notes. “I was putting myself through school, I was getting good marks, I was a responsible person, I didn’t use drugs or alcohol and I could be counted on, more or less, to show up for work or school.” She said it was different when it came to social events. “I would binge and feel bad and then phone people and lie and say, ‘I’m not feeling well’ or ‘I got called into work.’ It can be a very isolating disease.” (Continued on page 4)

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ichelle cannot imagine life without Overeaters Anonymous (OA). She can imagine death. There was a time when the Saskatoon woman didn’t know if she would die from a health problem associated with overeating or, as she put it, self-harm. She credits OA for providing her with the healthy and happy life she now enjoys. “On my own I could last maybe two weeks,” said Michelle, who picked her name for this story. “I was dying when I came in because I was so obsessed with my weight, so depressed that I was very potentially suicidal. I know that sounds very dramatic, but I truly do believe if I hadn’t found the program and stuck with it that I probably would have inflicted self-harm.” Michelle went to her first OA meeting 31 years ago. Overeating was taking a toll on her life. She had a failed marriage and wasn’t, by her admission, a nice person.

Juno winner Diana Panton sings at The Bassment
Ned Powers Saskatoon Express azz vocalist Diana Panton readily admits she never imagined her career would be filled with so many recording sessions of note. Her 10th album is about to be released, and she’s still counting. Panton was nominated as a jazz vocalist for Junos for If The Moon Turns Green in 2009, To Brazil With Love in 2012 and Christmas Kiss in 2013. She won her first Juno for Red in the vocal jazz category in 2015. She followed up with a Juno in a different category for I Believe in Little Things, judged the best children’s album in 2017. And now comes Solstice Equinox, fresh out of the studio, and Panton is hoping she’ll have a handful to sell when she sings at The Bassment, home of the Saskatoon Jazz Society, on Oct. 1. She will be accompanied by two of Canada’s best musicians, Reg Schwager on guitar and Neil Swainson on bass. A teacher by profession, Panton looks back today and calls her career “an interesting series of fateful events, for which I am grateful and feel honoured.” She listened to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Billie Holiday as a teenager. She sang with an all-star band as the opening act for a live concert by Trudy Desmond. While being encouraged by long-time jazz player-arranger and Order of Canada recipient Don Thompson, she attended a summer camp at the Banff Centre of the Arts when she was 19 and quickly saw music as part of her future. “Most of the artists at Banff were 10 years older than I was. Don prepared me well. He told me to pick out three favourite songs and he wrote arrangements for me. After the Banff session, Don told me to call him when I was ready to record. That planted the seeds,” said Panton. “I really enjoy making albums. I look for songs I
J
enjoy. I keep a list. Sometimes a song just comes out of nowhere. I think I have enough songs to make another 20 records. I love the standards. But if you’re going to record a song, you have to give it something of your own and give it something different and authentic. I always want to be surrounded by the best of musicians.” Thompson and Schwager have played on all but one of her releases. Panton also said she’s going in directions she didn’t anticipate. With the album If The Moon Turns Green she had three songs related to a moon concept left over from her first album “and I wanted to record them. Occasionally we do conceptual stuff but I never tied myself to conceptual stuff.” The album won first place from a jury at a jazz festival in France. The album, To Brazil With Love, was “inspired by listening to Don and Reg, who are experts at playing the genre and I think Reg is the most knowledgeable among Canadians of Brazilian music.” Christmas Kiss “was the most daunting of all. I used to tell myself I’d never get around to doing a Christmas album. Too much of the good material is overdone. I started looking, found some pieces nobody else was doing and it was a great experience.” My Heart Sings was recorded live in Taipei, “done one night, one shot, no interruptions to repeat some parts of the song.” She appears in Asia from time to time and soon will be going to the Cotton Club in Japan. With the children’s album, she just believed in the “high quality” of compositions, including some by Joe Raposo, who writes Sesame Street, some from Disney films and some from The Muppets. Cellist Coenraad Bloemendal played the session along with Thompson and Schwager.
Diana Panton Most of the recordings are done at Inception Studios in Toronto “where the sound is so perfect, where there aren’t any constraints on the artist, where you can focus on the tone and where the musicians are all familiar with the setting.” Panton graduated from McMaster University with a major in French literature and today she teaches French, art and drama at a secondary school in Hamilton.
Overeating can become an isolating disease
(Continued from page 3) Michelle, who is in her 50s, weighs a happy 115 pounds now. She says she was 160 pounds-plus in her darkest days. She can celebrate things that go unnoticed for most people. Now when she puts her summer clothes away, she is confident they will fit next year. There was a time when she would lose weight and keep her “fat” clothes because they would invariably be needed again. She said there are still times when she gets cravings. “I occasionally do, but interestingly enough it is never for sugar — which is funny, because that was my go-to. Now it is like cardboard to me. I look at it and say, ‘That’s nice for other people but not for me.’ Carbohydrates seem to be a little bit of a calling thing to me.” She said it was difficult to go through high-sugar times such as Halloween, Christmas and her birthday for the first couple of years after joining OA.

“In my life people know me as somebody who doesn’t eat sweets and so they say, ‘Oh that must be really hard.’ There is nothing wrong with food. I don’t hate food. I don’t even hate candy; it’s just not for me.” Now her blood pressure, her blood sugar and her cholesterol count are “perfect.” Michelle credits OA for her health and quality of life. “I always like to say I came for the vanity and I stayed for the sanity. I came because I wanted to be skinny — that’s what I wanted — but I found a way of life that is so much better than I could have imagined. “The fellowship of Overeaters Anonymous worked when nothing else would. That’s what has helped me be happy and healthy. I’m happy. I never thought I would be happy without eating sugar.” Overeaters Anonymous will be holding an open house event on Sept. 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Wildwood Mennonite Church (1502 Acadia Drive).

Overeaters Anonymous Facts
Los Angeles woman founded OA in 1960. She was attending a Gamblers Anonymous meeting to understand what was happening to a friend. The woman had a wow moment when it struck her that she compulsively overate. • There are OA chapters in 80 countries with an estimated 54,000 members. • OA is a 12-step program patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous. • The program isn’t just about weight loss, weight gain or maintenance, obesity or diets. It offers physical, emotional and spiritual recovery from those suffering from overeating. • OA is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology or religious doctrine and takes no position on issues outside of its program. • There are no membership fees or dues required to participate. In Saskatoon, a hat is passed at meetings to cover expenses. For more information, visit www.oa.org.

Shed kept under wraps until Woman’s World begins
Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express rganizers of Woman’s World are being coy. The only detail about the newest (Wo)Man Shed being let out is that it features a full-size wall decoration of Elvis Presley. The wall design has the hunk of burning love leaning out of the window of one of those Classic Chevys made in the 1950s. The list of luxuries in the home, er, shed seems endless. A malt-shoppe garage, both a garage door and an entry door, a retro hot tub, a retro gas pump, a wrap-around deck, a hide-away bed, seven TVs, an incredible audio system, a four-piece bath, a barbecue, three fridges, countertop appliances and more. How much more can there be? The draw for the shed will be made in the fall of 2018 with the proceeds going to support youth programs. The show itself figures to be a dandy. The first 100 women through the doors each day receive a Bay swag bag, including a treat from Harden & Huyse. Shoes, clothing, accessories, skin-care products and health and beauty products will be front and centre. There will be fashion shows, self-defence martial arts demonstrations, rides for children and a food court and bar. Organizer Brian Swidrovich credits having a bar service as one of the things that got the show off to a flying start 12 years ago.

“I would say in the early stages for sure the unique floor plan and the fact it was the first trade show in Saskatchewan and in fact in Western Canada that I am aware of that was allowed to serve alcohol on the show floor. It did not require a designated beer area. “It automatically became more of a social shopping outing rather than a traditional trade show. Couples, friends and families can go to the event and wander around with a glass of wine or a cold beer and look all the things. “I think that had a lot to do with the immediate success and the great reputation the show got. Exhibitors like that; it’s a big difference. Their customers are walking around and they’re relaxed, laughing and joking and having a good time. It doesn’t become so focused on trying to sell right away. You are talking to people more than selling people.” While women are the focus of the show, there are a lot of things that are co-ed and there is what is called a Guys Zone. Among the toys are New Coast Marine boat specials, ATVs, snowmobiles and Indian Motorcycles. There is a Dakota Dunes spin to win, with a trip to Las Vegas among the prizes. The door prize is a $5,000 gift package from International Furniture Warehouse. The show will be held Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at Prairieland Park. It is open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sept. 29, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Oct. 1 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Murray Totland to retire
C
ity manager Murray Totland will retire on Dec. 31. “After serving five mayors, 11 city councils, and the people of Saskatoon since the early 1980s, it’s time for me to move on to the next chapter,” Totland said in a news release. “I have been fortunate to have had the solid support of both Mayor (Don) Atchison and now Mayor (Charlie) Clark. Managing Canada’s fastest growing city for nearly a decade has been extremely rewarding.” Totland joined the city in 1982, and has held increasingly senior positions within the corporation. In 2004, he was selected as general manager of the Utility Services Department, where one of his goals was to change the organizational culture to be more accountable, responsive and adaptive. In 2006, he was appointed general manager of the Infrastructure Services Depart-
ment, where he adapted the change strategy to meet the requirements of this large, diverse department. In January 2009, he was appointed to the position of city manager. In these capacities, Totland was responsible for delivering critical, multimillion dollar infrastructure projects, including the $300-million Circle Drive South project, and the City’s Civic Operations Centre being delivered as Saskatchewan’s first P3 project. “I am confident that city council’s goal of providing our citizens with a high quality of life, and our position as an economic and cultural leader, will be in good hands with whomever city council chooses as my successor.” City council will launch the recruitment process for a new city manager in the coming weeks.

At the staff orientation, I looked around and said ‘yep, I’ve worked with everyone here before or they were recommended by someone close to me.’” The interior is, however, quite different, although the work was mainly cosmetic. Korchinski changed the lighting, reorganized the seating, took down the neon lights and removed all 14 TV sets, replacing them with art. “I made it sexy again.

You can’t miss The District’s new blue entranceway
(Continued from page 8) Along with a more relaxed atmosphere, Korchinski has also “rolled back the pricing” to make it “casual without the deep fryer and sweat pants.” “My whole point to reopening was that I didn’t want to make it feel so exclusive. It had an upper end feel to it before – more of a corporate place, a fine dining place. “A young couple (who came in recently) said they would come to the Ivy if they got dressed up. Now they can come in their jeans after work.” A group of golfers dropped in after a round the other day, and drank expensive wine while relaxing in their shorts. “And they were happy,” said Korchinski. “You can order a burger or a rack of lamb. You can order French fries or a prime rib. There’s so much diversity to the menu it’s appealing to everyone. “We offer a duck breast. We do osso
buco; it’s our signature for sure. We offer a boar chop, and we do prime rib on the weekends. We do three different kinds of steaks, and of course (fish and) seafood – Lake Diefenbaker steelhead trout, shrimp and scallops — and some vegetarian items, some gluten-free items.” A very new thing is a program that allows people to order food by the ounce, for a perounce price. As a bodybuilder, Korchinski is sensitive to eating for diet and fitness goals. On his “prep menu, you can order however many ounces of chicken and fish; same for carbs and vegetables. We can accommodate that, and it’s not atrociously expensive. It gives bodybuilders and fitness-oriented people that option.” The District is open Monday through Friday starting at 11 a.m. for lunch. It closes at 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and at 11 p.m. Friday. Saturday hours are 5 to 11 p.m. and Sunday 5 to 9 p.m. Call 306-384-4444.

Marla Cole remembered as passionate musician
Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express arla Cole, the first violinist with the Amati Quartet and a passionate supporter of music in Saskatoon, has died at the age of 49. She had been fighting cancer since 2008, but lost the battle Sept. 20. Even the side effects from cancer treatment did not stop Cole from playing with the quartet. One of the chemotherapy drugs caused numbness in her hands, but she retaught herself to play the violin. That triumph allowed her to fulfill a long-time dream, the recording of an Amati CD entitled Passion for Haydn, which was launched a year ago. Funding for the CD came from the Touchdown for Dreams program funded by Cameco Corp. Cole was passionate about early musical education for children and providing young musicians the opportunity to play before audiences. At one concert last year, 12 young musicians joined the Amati Quartet on stage. Saskatoon pianist and music teacher Bonnie Nicholson, who worked with Cole and the Amati Quartet, said she will be

sorely missed. “Marla Cole brought a marvellous sense of style and panache to everything she did,” said Nicholson. “She played her violin with verve and passion and lived her life the same way — loved her children (Carmen and Miles) and husband (Geoff) the same way. She had a wonderful belly laugh. She was a wonderful support of young talent in the community.” Amati cellist and friend Terence Sturge remembered Cole as being passionate about all music. “She loved the violin, the feel of playing it, the sound, even the history of it,” said Sturge. “I knew her as a member of the Amati Quartet, her duo partner in Duo Virtuosi, and a member of the Saskatoon String Ensemble which provided string music for diverse events throughout the year. “She was a fine violinist and a sensitive chamber musician. Her strong organizational and leadership skills were assets that helped her direct and administrate the U of S Amati Quartet for 14 seasons, as well as 50 or more ‘gigs’ per season.” But there were other passions in Cole’s life, said Sturge.
Marla Cole of the Amati Quartet died last week at the age of 49. She was very proud of the group’s CD, recorded by, left to right, Rudolf Sternadel, Geoff Cole, Marla Cole and Terence Sturge. (Photo Supplied.) “One of the first times Marla and Geoff came over to our house for dinner was during a Canada-U.S. World Championship hockey game several years ago. It was the most fun I’ve ever had watching a game on TV. “Marla was fully in contact with her inner “hockey mom” that night. Now that was passion. We tried to get together whenever
there were major sports events on TV like the Grey Cup when the Riders were playing or international hockey finals.” Cole was extremely proud of the instruments, the quartet and their role in the community. “I can only say that I think I’m a lot better musician for having played with Marla,” said Sturge. “What more could anyone ask?”
Special music award renamed in honour of Kenny Shields
Ned Powers Saskatoon Express he Saskatoon Musicians’ Association will honour the late Kenny Shields, one of Saskatchewan’s most outstanding rock and roll stars, at its Gala Showcase 2017 on Oct. 5. Shields, who died on July 21, will have his name attached to the special recognition award which the association presents annually to someone in the music, arts and culture community. JW092503 “We want toJames pay our respects to Kenny,
T
who probably sold more recordings than any one of our members in history,” said Warren Rutherford, secretary-treasurer of the association. Shields held a membership in the Saskatoon association from 1971 until 2009. Shields was born in Nokomis and turned up on the Saskatoon music scene with Witness Incorporated in 1965. He became the lead singer and front man for Streetheart, one of Canada’s energetic and prolific rock bands, in 1977. He gave his last concert with Streetheart in Sherwood Park on July 1. Jeff Neill, a long-time player with Street-
heart, will be on hand for the Saskatoon celebration at The Bassment. Receiving the award will be Shelly Loeffler, who will step down as president of the Saskatoon Jazz Society in November. Loeffler was a school teacher by profession, co-founder of an innovative outdoors program, Ecoquest, and later the founder of another educational first, A Collective Voice, at Aden Bowman Collegiate. She was artistic director of the society for four years, became its president in 2007 and has been considered the essential player
in the society’s launching of its new home in the basement of the former Canada Post building in September 2009. Performing at the gala will be Heidi Munro and the jazz-and-blues-inspired The RealGroovyBand, Ray Eliot and his folk and roots trio, Saskatoon Symphony players Michael Swan and Brenda Moats, Canadian rock recording artists Autopilot, and Martin Janovsky, a Saskatoon piano favourite. The doors open at 7, music starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 for society members and $35 for non-members.

(Continued from page 1) izuno had her gold in weight throw and added silver medals in both javelin and discus. She was third among Canadians in the pentathlon. That was pretty darn good for someone who started throwing in 2014. Mizuno was at Griffiths Stadium one day, watching her husband Massey Mizuno train. She saw a javelin, picked it up and threw it. “It wasn’t too bad at all,” she said. Mizuno started working with coach Marg Tosh, a former Olympian who just turned 80. During the past couple of years, Mizuno has taken some of the records from her mentor. Tosh tells her it’s because of the coaching. Doug Renwick, Gil Gracie, Roland Delhomeau, Michelle Van De Muetter and Massey Mizuno from Saskatoon and area were others who competed at the Toronto event. Renwick set a record in the 2,000-metre steeplechase. In total, there were approximately 1,000 athletes at the competition. Vi Mizuno was athletic in her youth. “I did run in high school and I did some throwing, but not much throwing.” She grew up with four brothers. “That motivates you,” she said. She said anything they could do she wanted to do too. (Continued on page 13)

Mizuno qualified for all five masters events
T
(Continued from page 11) hat meant playing various sports, including ball and soccer. Mizuno was a competitive softball pitcher for years. She credits her father’s construction company for some of her strength. She did a lot of the heavy lifting for a spell. Mizuno is a member of the Century Track Club in Saskatoon as well as being on the executive of the Saskatchewan Seniors Fitness Association. These are good times for growth in the numbers of those competing, but not so good for having facilities. “They took down our cages and everything,” she said of Griffiths Stadium. “We don’t get to throw here at all.” Those throwing have been banished to the site of Clarence Downey Oval. There is one cage, one cement pad and tall grass, she said. “They are going to demolish that next year so we won’t have anything; we’re going to have to figure out what we’re going to do.” She said the growing number of seniors participating in track and field has been a head-scratcher for Saskatchewan Athletics. “We have done a lot of recruiting so our Masters group has got quite big. The guy who runs Saskatchewan Athletics doesn’t know what to do with all of us because there are so many of us masters all of a sudden. “They don’t know where we should be practising and where we should hold our meets because they’ve never had that problem before. All of a sudden, the baby boomers are coming in. They don’t want to sit at home so a lot of us are starting to get involved again in track and sports.” There are 20 athletes in the masters club locally. Mizuno started with the club for the social part. Then, she started competing and travelling. “I didn’t do too bad and was setting some records; it motivated me to do more. I really enjoy being part of a competitive field — and I like to see my name too once in a while,” she said with a laugh.
She didn’t know what to expect at the Toronto competition. She wondered if she would qualify for any finals. She qualified in all five events. “When you start throwing and see that you can do something, it was kind of gratifying. It was good to meet all these people, especially from Mexico. They were so friendly and want us to come visit. I’d love to, especially in the winter time.” Now, she has thrown the weight farther than anyone in history in North and Central America for women between the ages of 65 and 70. And she has no plans to quit. “I’m going until I die probably,” she said with another laugh.

Shiraz
FOOD PAIRING
S
hiraz is one of our most popular red wines that can be enjoyed with a meal or just sipping with friends. Traditionally known as Syrah, Shiraz is the darkest red wine grape with peppery aromas and dark fruity tastes such as blackberry. This full-bodied wine has many pairing options including the Caramelized Onion and Feta Pizza listed in the recipe below. Other suggested pairings include: grilled or roast beef with peppery sauces, strong hard cheeses especially cheddar, ribs, spicy sausages and big beefy stews.
Caramelized Onion + Feta Pizza Ingredients: Pizza Dough: 1 tablespoon dry yeast 1/4 cup of warm water 3.5 cups of all purpose flour 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour A pinch of salt
The woman in your life deserves nothing less...
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoon of honey Sauce: 4 garlic cloves minced 1/3 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
Toppings: 1 onion sliced and caramelized 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup feta cheese 1/3 cup fresh basil Drizzled balsamic glaze
Instructions: For the dough, in a medium bowl add 1 cup of warm water and a small package (1 tablespoon) of dry yeast. Allow the yeast to sit in the warm water for 10 minutes. You will know when the yeast has been activated when it starts to froth. In a large bowl add flour and salt. Mix in olive oil, honey and yeast and water. Using your hands mix the dough until it comes together. Lightly flour a clean counter top and place the dough mixture on it. Kneed the dough until is becomes smooth, shiny and elastic. Place the dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and place in a cool spot. Allow to rise for 1-2 hours or until the dough doubles in size. Roll out and place on pizza cooking sheet. For the sauce, mince garlic and mix with olive oil and freshly grated parmesan. Spread evenly over dough. For the toppings, in a large saucepan slowly simmer onions with butter until golden brown. It usually takes 45 minutes. Spread onions over pizza dough, crumble feta and add fresh basil. Drizzle balsamic glaze and bake for 30 minutes at 350 °F. Allow to cool and serve with your favourite glass of Shiraz!

Hearing Solutions can I do to be successful Q What with my new hearing aids? A
1. Be Patient & Positive. Hearing loss usually happens over a number of years so getting used to hearing aids does not happen overnight. Feeling positive about your choice to hear better goes a long way. 2. Wear Your Hearing Aids Every day. Try wearing your hearing aids 8-10 hours/day but rest when you need to and start again. You must train your brain to hear sound again. 3. Follow up Appointments. See your hearing care professional 1-2 weeks after you get your new hearing aids. Settings may need to be fine-tuned (sometimes several times) as you go through your trial period.
CASSANDRA GRABOWSKI B.Sc., M.Sc., Aud (C) Registered Audiologist
4. Realistic Expectations. Remember, hearing aids will help you hear better but they may not be able to help you hear perfectly.

SIX WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR EYES Here are some simple things you can do to pamper your peepers.
Licia Burghall Area Director Bayshore Home Health
1. Read in good light. Dim light won’t hurt your eyes but can tire them more quickly. 2. If it bothers your eyes to watch television in a dark room, keep a light on. 3. If you have glasses or contacts, use them. You won’t have to strain so hard to see. 4. Use an antiglare filter on your computer monitor. 5. Position the monitor so it’s at or just below eye level and a little farther away than you’d hold a book while reading. 6. Take frequent breaks from whatever you’re doing to give your eye muscles a rest.

legal
Q
Should I put my house in joint names with my children to save probate fees?
A
When clients ask me this question my answer is usually “No”. Putting title into another person’s name jointly with you has significant legal and tax consequences. Joint title holders have the same legal authority and decision-making power, which means that if you decide to sell your house you will have to get your children’s permission. Putting your house in joint names could put your equity at risk and could entangle you in your children’s court proceedings should any of your children ever separate from their spouse. Lastly, the sale of your house could cause a capital gains problem for your children with Canada Revenue Agency if your house is not their principal residence. Probate fees saved by joint ownership are often insignificant when compared to the value of maintaining control and avoiding costly risks.

Seniors also can enjoy travel perks, with slashed prices on resorts, plane tickets and more. The U.S. National Park Service offers citizens age 62 and older lifetime passes to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites for just $10 in person ($20 online or via mail). • Reasoning and problem-solving skills: Brain scans reveal that older adults are more likely to use both hemispheres of their brans simultaneously - something called bilateralization. This can sharpen reasoning skills. For example, in a University of Illinois study, older air traffic controllers excelled at their cognitively taxing jobs, despite some losses in short-term memory and visual spatial processing. Older controllers proved to be experts at navigating, juggling multiple aircrafts simultaneously and avoiding collisions. • Less stress: As people grow older, they are able to differentiate their needs from wants and focus on more important goals. This can alleviate worry over things that are beyond one’s control. Seniors may realize how little the opinions of others truly mean in the larger picture, thereby feeling less stress about what others think of them. • Growing older may involve gray hair or wrinkling skin, but there are many positive things associated with aging.

any people are quick to think of growing older in a negative light. Although there certainly are some side effects of aging that one may wish to avoid, people may find that the benefits of growing older outweigh the negatives. Seniors are a rapidly growing segment of the population. In the United States, the Administration on Aging states that the older population - persons 65 years or older - numbered 46.2 million in 2014 (the latest year for which data is available). Statistics Canada reports that, in July 2015, estimates indicated that there were more persons aged 65 years and older in Canada than children aged 0 to 14 years for the first time in the country’s history. Nearly one in six Canadians (16.1%) was at least 65 years old. With so many people living longer, it’s time to celebrate the perks of getting older rather than the drawbacks. Here are some great benefits to growing old. • Higher self-esteem: The insecurities of youth give way as one ages, and older people have less negativity and higher self-esteem. A University of Basel study of people ranging in ages from 18 to 89 found that regardless of demographic and social status, the older one gets the higher self-esteem climbs. Qualities like self-control and altruism can contribute to happiness. • Financial perks: Seniors are entitled toDC092517 discounts onDarlene meals, museum entry fees,

How women can protect against osteoporosis
C
ertain types of exercise, including dancing, may help women protect their bones against osteoporosis. A bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone or both, osteoporosis can be debilitating. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis is responsible for two million broken bones each year, a figure that experts predict with rise to three million by 2025. While anyone can suffer from osteoporosis, women are more likely than men to develop the disease. Studies suggest that while up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis, one in two women age 50 and older are likely to suffer such a fate. Because of the silent nature of osteoporosis and their increased vulnerability to it, women may want to take the following measures to protect themselves against this potentially debilitating disease. • Include ample calcium and vitamin D in your diet. The NOF notes that calcium and vitamin D are both vital to building strong, dense bones when you’re young, and both calcium and vitamin D keep bones strong and healthy as the body ages. Women age 50 and younger need 1,000 milligrams of calcium each day, while those 51 and older need 1,200 milligrams each day. Calcium-rich foods include dairy products like low- or non-fat milk, yogurt and
TA092518 Tammy
cheese. Women age 50 and younger need between 400 and 800 international units (IU) of vitamin D each day, while those age 50 and older need between 800 and 1,000 IU each day. The body can get vitamin D from sunlight and supplements or multivitamins. Vitamin D is naturally available in just a few foods, such as fatty fish like wild-caught salmon or tuna. • Include weight-bearing and musclestrengthening exercises in your workout routine. Weight-bearing and musclestrengthening exercises help women build and maintain bone density. Weight-bearing exercises include dancing, high-impact aerobics, jogging/running, and tennis, among others. Muscle-strengthening activities include weightlifting and elastic band exercises. The NOF notes that certain positions in exercises such as yoga and pilates may not be safe for people with osteoporosis or those at increased risk of broken bones. Speak to a physical therapist about which positions or exercises to avoid. • Pay attention to the beverages you drink. It’s not just the foods you eat that can help or hurt you in the fight against osteoporosis. Heavy consumption of alcohol can contribute to bone loss, while drinks that contain caffeine, including coffee, tea and sodas, can decrease calcium absorption and contribute to bone loss as well. Drink alcohol and caffeinated beverages in moderation.

and things that are happening outside and that are sort of ephemeral and fun, I hope it helps people to understand what art can be and creates better appreciation for some of what’s going on around here.” Members of the general public have also had the opportunity to contribute to the 2017 version of Nuit Blanche Saskatoon. Following the spring run of Southern Dandy 75, from Otto Helmut Productions, artist Jordan Schwab led a workshop that gave audience members an opportunity to build a light-based set for performances of the play during Nuit Blanche. Another change this year is that the projects will be more spread out, which will allow viewers to “appreciate them each individually a little more,” said Peterson. He hopes that as people visit the various projects in the different neighbourhoods they “stop and consider the city we’re living in — what it is, and what we want it to be. “How do we want to use these underutilized spaces? Do we want them to become spaces that more people can enter and move through?” he asked.
(Continued from page 20) our first grant for this year two weeks after the festival ended last year,” he added. One of the grants that the festival received — $10,000 from the Saskatchewan Arts Board — funded Saskatoon-based artist Monique Martin to work with students at École Victoria School to develop light-based sculptures. Margaret Michel, an artist from France, will install the sculptures throughout the Broadway area, providing the students with an opportunity to have their pieces included in a professional arts festival. “It’s been a really cool opportunity for these students to become involved not only as viewers but makers,” said Peterson. “For them to get involved it actually really reinforces for them that they can be professional artists, that their art has a place being seen by the public.” Peterson said Nuit Blanche Saskatoon tends to reach a broad audience, noting 10,000 people attended during the past two years. That is a “larger attendance than a lot of galleries get over the course of the entire year,” he said. “It’s a one-night festival, but it reaches a lot of people. I hope it creates an appreciation for some of the really great local artists and local talent. And, because we’re talking Tammy about light-based projects TA092509

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ONLINE DATING?
Dear Lianne I was encouraged to get back out there and I joined an online dating site. You would not believe the stuff I have encountered. I’ve spent hours talking online back and forth with one fellow. He said all the right things. I was thinking this was great and looked forward to the possibilities with him. He turned out to be a scam artist and just wanted money from me. Next guy posed as a wealthy man who owned carpet stores. He too complimented me and talked online about a future together. He said he showed his nephew my photo and the nephew told him he ought to marry me.
In our second conversation all he did was talk about sex toys and tried to get me to go down that road. I told him I have class and how dare he cross the line with me. He hung up on me. Then I started talking with another fellow and we had an incredible phone conversation. I sent him a note the next day and have never heard back from him yet I see that he is online all the time. I’m not sure who these guys think they are or why they think they can treat a woman like this. Shame on them. Please tell me how you can help me and if your program is different from the fakes and flakes. – Sharon
Dear Sharon, The anonymity of cyberspace often encourages many unsavoury characters to play games and at times scam or hurt unsuspecting and vulnerable people. I have been a matchmaker long before online dating was popular. I have witnessed the shift in attitudes as well as heard success and tragic stories pertaining to online dating. At Camelot Introductions, we have expectations that our clients treat one another in a considerate manner. We do have to spend time with some unwinding their bad habits formed from Internet. Our clients are real. I have personally
interviewed each one. We have done a criminal record check on each client. They are non-smokers. They are looking for a long-term relationship and have invested 800.00 in the membership. With my keen intuition and 24 years of successfully matching people our method work. On our website at camelotintroductions.com you will find a section that outlines the differences between Camelot and online dating. I’m certain you will be able to relate well to many of the points. Call me at 306.978LOVE (5683) I would be happy to speak with you and book an appointment to see you in Saskatoon the week of October 16.

In 2017 they are using the opportunity to emphasize the importance of animal welfare through the week’s theme Animal Welfare: Safeguarding the Five Animal Freedoms, highlighting the five basic freedoms animals require to survive and thrive. These freedoms are: adequate shelter, proper nutrition, appropriate veterinary care, proper socialization, and the ability to exhibit normal behaviours. “This year’s theme provides us with an opportunity to remind animal owners of the fundamental elements they are required to provide the animal in their care to ensure them healthy and happy lives,” said Dr. Terri Chotowetz, a Saskatoon veterinarian and the Saskatchewan representative of the CVMA. “Animal welfare refers to the relationship between people and animals and addresses our responsibility to care for them in a humane manner.” Dr. Chotowetz, who has been at Cumberland Veterinary Clinic for the past 17 years, explains that animal welfare is an important issue for the simple fact that for most of us, not an hour in our day passes when we do not interact with animals, whether we’re eating them, wearing them or interacting with them. “The Five Freedoms outline the aspects James ofJW092506 animal welfare that are under human
control,” said Dr. Chotowetz. “They were developed in response to a 1965 UK Government report on intensive livestock husbandry, then formalized in 1979 with the development of the Farm Animal Welfare Council and have since been adopted by several professional groups including veterinarians, the World Organization for Animal Health and the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.” She elaborates on the freedoms, starting with providing adequate shelter. As examples, she points to not leaving dogs tethered for long periods of time outside with no access to shelter, and to the fact that regulators will phase out traditional battery cages for laying hens over the next several years. “Allowing animals to exhibit normal behaviour means things like allowing horses to run and graze, taking dogs for walks and exercise, or providing cats with scratching posts and toys to prevent undesired, but normal, behaviour,” Dr. Chotowetz continued. “Proper socialization means taking young dogs to parks to allow them to play and and grow accustomed to other dogs and people, and making sure cats have an appropriate place to retreat from other cats, pets or people in busy households. “Ensuring your pets or animals have access to clean, fresh water, and that all animals are provided with veterinary care if they are sick or injured,” said Chotowetz, who elaborated on her tips for choosing

they have had a good experience. Choose a clinic that makes you feel comfortable and at ease, and remember that while everyone has a budget to follow, selecting a practice based on price alone often leaves clients unhappy and frustrated.” Dr. Chotowetz will be taking on the role of president of the CVMA in 2018. She has five dogs and a cat.

Licencing program benefits pet owners
ets are part of the family, and the City of Saskatoon is aiming to make Saskatoon one of the top pet-friendly cities in Western Canada. “Our Animal Services programming focuses on four key areas: licensing, bylaw enforcement, off-leash dog parks and our spay and neuter program” said Brad Babyak, section manager of the City’s Open Space Programing and Development, which includes Animal Services. “In addition to the work we do as a City, we also partner with other key agencies, such as the Saskatoon SPCA, for important initiatives and events throughout the year.” The City’s pet lincencing program has a number of direct benefits for pet owners in Saskatoon. “If your pet escapes, our animal enforcement control officers can easily identify it and will bring it back to your home directly, and having the license will free that owner from having to pay the fine for running at large,” Babyak said. “Further, if you’re not home and we can’t do direct return, the Saskatoon SPCA will provide a safe shelter for your pet until you arrive to pick it up.” There are a variety of ways for pet owners to purchase licenses for their pets. You can go online, pay in person at City Hall, or access one of 27 different Saskatoon vendors, from pet food and agricultural retailers to veterinarians, participating in the lincensing program. Owners are required to renew pet licences annually and a valid licence provides access to dog parks and City-organized events like the annual Dog Day of Summer at Mayfair Pool. Saskatoon has nine active off-leash dog parks located throughout the city, soon to be ten. “We just finished construction of our 10th off-leash park this summer - the Paul Mostoway off-leash dog park located within the Hampton Village neighbourhood,” Babyak explained. “It’s not open
yet, but it will be later this fall when the newly planted turf has a chance to establish. “Enhancements to the Avalon dog park have also been completed, including accessible pathways for residents who need additional assistance getting around, like in wheelchairs or on scooters,” he continued, adding that the City is also currently undertaking the procurement process to expand the Avalon dog park even further. “Off-leash dog parks obviously give pet owners a chance to exercise their dog off-leash, but they also provide an opportunity for owners to socialize with their neighbours,” said Babyak. “One user of Peter Radisson dog park in Westmount told us he had been living there for over 10 years, but didn’t know his neighbours until he started using the dog park. The dogs bring neighbours together.” The Subsidized Spay and Neuter Program (or SSNP) is another key part of the City’s Animal Services programming. SSNP provides financial resources to assist low income pet owners who could not otherwise afford veterinary services to have their pets spayed or neutered. “We take online applications, review them, and if an applicant qualifies, we partner with vets across the city to subsidize the spay or neuter procedure costs,” said Babyak, who said the SSNP program provided assistance for over 300 Saskatoon cat and dog owners in 2016, and has already reached the maximum participants for 2017. “This program helps address the citywide issue of unwanted dogs and cats, and helps ensure all of our residents and families maintain a better quality of life by enjoying the benefits responsible pet ownership. “Our goal is to continue growing as a pet-friendly city,” Babyak explained. “Responsible pet ownership is key to achieving our goals and we will continue to partner and assist with educating public on responsible pet ownership so that pet and non-pet owners feel safe and welcome.”

By RJ Currie SPN reports former Tigers ace Justin Verlander had 40 minutes to agree to go to Houston. Or 2,400 times longer than his agreeing to go out with Kate Upton. • One year ago, Vikes RB Adrian Peterson tore a meniscus. Now with the Saints, he’s hampered by a bruised ego and a swollen sense of self worth. • Sabres star Jack Eichel said the NHL should ditch offsides — just sit at the other end “and wait for the puck.” In related news, Pavel Bure has come out of retirement. • Patriots coach Bill Belichick said he doesn’t need to read Tom Brady’s new book. Apparently he feels the same way about the NFL rule book. • OHL and WHL junior hockey players are suing to be paid minimum wage. League representatives were quoted as saying: “Who do they think we are? The CFL?” • A Halifax judge ordered Fed-Ex to pay damages for taking two days to deliver stallion sperm. Everyone knows for sperm to work, it absolutely positively has to get there. • Rams receiver Sammy Watkins is among those who believe the earth is flat. He also believes Columbus had four ships, but lost one over the edge. • Happy 66th birthday to Canadiens legend DC092502 Darlene Guy Lafleur, whose career ended with 560
goals and 1,353 points. Forget the Sixties; the Seventies saw real Flower Power. • Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliot was criticized for lack of effort against the Broncos. NFL translation: he only gave 107 per cent. • Rockies reliever Pat Neshek called Dbacks ace Zack Greinke a turd for refusing him an autograph. Coincidence? Greinke’s last outing in Colorado lasted seven and a turd innings. • Ex-Cowboys QB Tony Romo is proving to be a terrific colour analyst. Fingers crossed he doesn’t fumble the microphone in the playoffs. • The sport of competitive tag is reportedly gaining popularity in England. It’s predicted that in 20 years it will come to U.S. — only it will be called NFL football. RJ’s Groaner of the Week Reuters reports a Belgian town made a giant omellete of 10,000 eggs. I’m taking the high road on this and not cracking any yokes.
any believe the most telling stat in baseball is Wins Above Replacement (WAR). It’s a stat that was developed to sum up a player’s contributions to his team. The reason for bringing this up is because Jose Bautista’s WAR is -1.7, which puts him last in the American League. His 8.1 in 2011 would lead the majors now. • Torben Rolfsen, on former Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman training to join the FBI: “Do we really want Bears defenders trying to stop bad guys?” • TC Chong, on NFL scoring after Week 2 being the lowest in the past seven years and viewer ratings have taken a dive: “Maybe the league should try five downs, suggested the CFL.” • From Janice Hough: “Tony Romo is already a seriously good NFL colour analyst. This might finally be his ticket for success in the postseason.” • From @bigheadsports: “Romo is great at predicting what’s coming. Jon Gruden is great at telling you the obvious thing you just saw.” • The CFL is a better place when Ken Miller is in it. • From Rolfsen: “Ratings in the NFL were down 12 per cent in Week 1 and 15 per cent in Week 2. I blame the Seahawks offence.” • CNN’s Anthony Bourdain when asked what he would serve if he catered a dinner for Trump and Kim Jong Un: “Hemlock.” Said Hough: “Some of us would just as soon eat hemlock as kale.” • Chong, on Cowboys running back Zeke Elliott gaining eight yards on nine carries against Denver: “In the CFL,
there’s a penalty for that: No Yards.” • Chong, on Elliott being called out for quitting on his team against Denver: “On two turnovers, he was shown standing around, instead of pursuing the plays. Zeke said he didn’t want to be involved with any more violence charges.” • From Hough: “Trump calls Kim Jong Un “Rocket Man” Kim Jong Un calls Trump “a mentally deranged U.S. dotard.” This would all be much more entertaining if they both didn’t have weapons of mass destruction.” • Hough again: “So do you find ‘dotard’ in the dictionary after ‘Covfefe?’” (Note: A dotard is a person who is weak-minded, especially through senility, according to one online dictionary.) • How many sleeps until we put Buck and Tabby away for another year? • From Rolfsen: “When I read KC’s Alex Gordon hit MLB’s record-setting 5,694th home run of the season, my first response was: ‘They’ve gotta test that guy.’” • What is disgraced former Trump aide Steve Bannon planning to do? If you guessed making Western movies, you would be spot on. I’m guessing John Wayne just rolled in his grave. • From @bigheadsports: “The New York Giants Twitter account blocks more people that their O-line.” • How bad was the Montreal-Ottawa game? “It had less pace than Andy Fantuz running the 40,” according to @ jockcartier. • From Hough: “Seeing Sean Spicer on the Emmy’s made me long for days when middle-aged white men caught lying for a president went to jail.”
