According to CBS News, Twitter confirmed that more than 1.7 million #MeToo tweets were posted from 85 countries, as women and girls came out to share their own stories of being sexually harassed.

On the latter, perhaps they didn’t feel the need to share because sharing is nothing new — women have always told stories like these to each other, often simply as a coping mechanism, or as a way of warning of a potential creep amongst us.

We had seen him a couple of times before as a solo act, but what was different this time was his stage presence. He told stories about the songs — where they were written and why they were written.

For example, I didn’t know Stand Tall was a breakup song that he wrote in the wee hours in the morning after his girlfriend of 10 years left him. He laughed when he told the audience she married a lawyer and he got a gold record.

His playing and singing are still great, but this time we got a look inside the 69-year-old Canadian music icon’s life. It was a great night. ***** Not only is my mom great at texting, but she uses emojis. There are few things better than getting a smiley face from your mom. ***** I didn’t know what to make of Duron Carter when he signed on with the Roughriders. He’s now one of my all-time favourites. He’s arguably both the best receiver the team has ever had and one of its most complicated people. When he’s the “bad” Duron, I don’t think it comes from a bad place. ***** With all the gyms in Saskatoon, why aren’t we — collectively — in better shape? ***** I reached a huge milestone in my life this summer.

Mark Boland

plans future of Canadian Light Source Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express hen Mark Boland arrived in Saskatoon Sept. 1 to plan the future of the Canadian Light Source, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was already here.

“And then PotashCorp put on fireworks for our arrival on the Friday night, and then they put on a second load of fireworks for my 45th birthday on the second of September,” Boland joked in a recent interview.

Coincidence? Sure. But it’s clear that Boland was already fully aware of what was going on in a city he had frequented over the years, and now was making his home. And that nuclear scientists can also be funny.

He didn’t wait to dive into the job ahead of him.

“I started working on the Monday and then just went for it,” said Boland. “We didn’t waste any time. We just threw ourselves into it.”

Boland is a nuclear physicist who has lived, studied and worked all over the world, and was “employee number five” when the Australian Synchrotron was built and commissioned.

He received his PhD in photonuclear studies from the University of Melbourne in 2001, and then worked at the Swedish light source before returning to

Mark Boland is a nuclear physicist who has lived, studied and worked all over the world. (Photo by Joanne Paulson) Australia. He served as the lead accelerator physicist at the Australian Synchrotron, where he stayed for 14 years.

There, he became principal scientist in the Accelerator Physics Group and an honorary senior research fellow at the School of Physics at the University of Melbourne.

Now, he’s taking on a new role at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) synchrotron with the title machine director. It’s an enormous task, because the CLS — in operation since 2004 — will eventually no longer be globally competitive. His job is to envision its future. (In his spare

time, he will also be lecturing at the University of Saskatchewan.)

There have been machine directors in the past, but their roles were to get the machine up and running. Times have changed.

Those paintings currently hang on the second floor of the new gallery and the only name I saw prominently displayed was that of a new recent donor. Remember, this was a whirlwind tour.

I would have thought that the anticipated Mendel salon would have also incorporated the donor plaques located at the Mendel that recognized Saskatoon citizens who over the years spent time (and in many cases, money) in support of that gallery and for the enhancement of the arts in Saskatoon. The absence of these memorabilia left me feeling that our history had been sanitized.

Outside of the few abstract pieces, I didn’t find the works of well-known Saskatchewan artists

Somewhere along the way, the mission of the Mendel, which was (although not limited to) to showcase primarily Saskatchewan and Canadian artists, got lost. Outside of the few abstract pieces mentioned earlier, I didn’t find the works of well-known Saskatchewan artists like Dorothy Knowles, Catherine Perehudoff, Wynona Mulcaster, Greg Hardy and Marie Lannoo, to name but a few of the many gifted artists who call Saskatchewan home.

Nor did I see any work by Doug Bentham, Saskatoon’s pre-eminent sculptor. I know exhibits come and go, but I would have thought there would be emphasis on our own talent for the opening events. That was not to be, nor do I expect it will be.

tured in the aboriginal art salon.

One art critic commented that “the programming will make assumptions about what it thinks people want to see; the programming will become vulgarly populist and, in that sense, not really be about art at all and, in addition to that, alienate local communities.”

That was followed by one Remai board member commenting, “There are people there that I trust won’t turn it into something for the masses.”

How sad.

I thought the point of this massive project was to provide all forms of art mediums to the masses and not just for the self-anointed highbrow elites.

Art gurus say that this art is to be challenging and transformative. For me, art must be stimulating and enjoyable, provide food for the soul, and leave me overwhelmed at the talent of those who create these gifts of art.

That same Remai board member also said that while the construction costs and attendance targets are real, they shouldn’t be the primary focus; art and the experience of art should be. It is a wonderfully esoteric comment coming from a rarified genre, but I don’t think it will sit well with taxpayers who must pony up $5.4 million in 2018 to keep the gallery’s doors open and, in all likelihood, more in the years to come.

If the board truly wants to achieve the 220,000 attendance target it would mean approximately 700 people would have to visit the gallery each day of each year and although, as a taxpayer, I would like to see that happen, I don’t think it will.

To sum it up, the immensity and grandiosity of the building was more impressive than the content. I suspect the art community will be overjoyed with the end product, but I’m not so sure about the masses. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Since people had money, the men had money to spend on a 14-year-old runaway boy. When he was 16, Eddy was called to meet a man in a hotel. For protection he always carried a knife. For no reason at all, he stabbed the cab driver the man had called for the pickup.

He said he suddenly, at that moment, developed a hatred for men. An innocent man lost his life because Eddy snapped.

After all the years of abuse, he went over the edge. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

During one of my interviews with him, he said something I think about often.

“You know,” he would always start, “when I was being sold, I was told I would make a lot of money.”

He went on to describe how he never got a cent. He was told he was bought nice clothes and should be happy. Of course those clothes were girl’s dresses and underwear.

“What scared me the most,” he said, “was these men were going to find out I wasn’t really a girl and beat me up.”

What a terrifying insight into the mind of an abused child. He was too young to understand the only reason those men were with him was because he was a boy dressed as a girl.

Eddy kept in contact with me during his

journey through Canada’s penal system.

After almost 15 years, he made his way into a minimum security institution in Prince Albert.

One day I was listening to the radio when I heard he had escaped. Since he was a convicted murderer he was considered “dangerous.” I thought about where he would go and even hoped he would at least enjoy his short stint at freedom.

I had this feeling he wouldn’t do anything crazy. It would only be a matter of time before he was caught. Sure enough, he was found playing pool and drinking beer in a small village north of Prince Albert.

I asked him why he did it, given that real freedom was so close.

“I just wanted to do something normal,” he said.

He was sent back behind the walls of the Saskatchewan Penitentiary where he developed a terminal illness.

Federal inmates with terminal illnesses in the prairie region are generally sent to the Regional Psychiatric Centre in Saskatoon.

This is where Eddy went to die.

It saddens me he had to die alone. I’m sure he was given proper medical care but it would have been nice to have someone there to console him.

He died alone but his story will live on.

CLS known as global leader

(Continied from page 3) t’s now a mature facility,” said Boland. “I was actually here in 2003 in the control room helping to get the machine going, so I was here right from the start.”

All light sources have a certain lifespan because technology is always improving.

The CLS is a third generation light source, and the ones coming on stream now are fourth generation, he explained.

“One of the strategic goals is to look to the future. What’s the new technology that’s needed? Do we need a new ring, a new light source, to meet the scientific needs? In a nutshell, what’s the future?

How do you strategically align and work out where the facility goes?

“The raison d’etre of the CLS is to service the user community — so all the scientists from all the different fields, biology, agriculture, material science, all the high-tech stuff. If CLS is no longer the tool of choice, they’ll go away.

“Do you allow them to go away, or do you say Canada needs to be part of the next generation? Strategically, you have to make sure you maintain the competitiveness and you have the equipment they need in order to do their science.”

Boland, of course, believes Canada needs a light source, and the strategic plan is indeed to upgrade the CLS and maintain its services. The facility has received three-year funding from the Canadian government, and part of the funding is to ensure the plans are in place for the next 20 years.

Boland has been tasked with figuring out the details and compiling a conceptual design report, or CDR. Where, for example, would a new CLS be built?

“One thing Saskatchewan does seem to have is plenty of land. You could wind down the existing lab and build the next best thing next door or wherever you could. That is historically speaking a sound choice. In principle you could build CLS 2 anywhere; but in practice, all the people are here, the knowledge is here, the support is here. It would make sense you would continue here, and would build a new ring; a new accelerator, new beamlines. “ It sounds like a massive undertaking, and Boland allows that it is.

“But if you put it into context, if you compare the financial outlay to build the new CLS with other large infrastructure projects — a bridge, freeways, etc. — it’s pretty cheap.”

A major bridge, just as an example, could be $300 million; and there are larger projects.

“It’s not like a space race. It’s not countless billions. It’s in the order of a major infrastructure project.”

The CLS’s operating costs run between $35 million and $40 million annually. Main funding comes from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and funding also comes from NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada), some provincial governments and universities (including the U of S).

Other funding comes from the users. Academic researchers pay $1 per eight-hour shift, but industrial users pay a significantly higher rate, contributing about $1 million annually.

“How important is it that you have Canadian researchers doing research into agriculture, into health, into new materials, you know?” he asked. “Arguably just as important as connecting the communities across rivers. In that sense, it’s part of the research infrastructure landscape. You need those tools to answer and solve the problems. That’s also part of the strategic plan.

“Historically, the light sources have provided a service that was more limited to switching the light on and then the expert users would come in and they could do the rest,” including the setup and analysis.

“But now, the model is shifting to broaden the usage and to target certain users and get new people in. The service model is to go that extra step and say we’ll show you how to do this; we’ll analyze some data for you. We’re going to write you a report and tell you what’s going on, not just providing. That’s the goal. It’s being explored as to how that could be implemented.

“We’re already moving that direction.

In fact, the CLS is known globally as being one of the leaders in that area.”

A citizen of the world Boland, the son of a physicist, was educated and raised in several locations around the world.

“I would pretentiously say, ‘Ich bin ein Weltburger,’” said Boland, which translates to ‘I am a citizen of the world’ in German.

“I was born in Canberra, Australia. I was three months old when my parents went to Oxford; my father had a position at Oxford University. And I never stopped travelling.”

He lived in Germany, but mainly grew up in the Netherlands, because his father was a physicist in Leiden and Utrecht. He “will claim” four fluent languages — English, Dutch, German and Swedish.

His wife Susana has another six languages covering southern Europe; she is an anthropologist and will be lecturing at the U of S. A research associate, she is spending most of her time with their children, son Santiago, 7, and daughter Hannah, 5, whose birthday is on Canada Day. Languages have been a big help in communicating globally, said Boland.

“I think (language) matters in a broad sense, not in a specific sense; English is the lingua franca. However, just having the appreciation and the understanding of the nuances and complications of language I think helps. Communication is a fine art, right? How to get your message across. The cultural differences are also embodied and embedded in the language.

“In Asia . . . you don’t say, directly, no to something. But you mean no, so you say no in different ways. Whereas in Holland everything is direct. The Dutch are probably the most direct people in world. No, yes, how much do you earn, how old are you — all very personal direct questions. “ Boland does enjoy hiking, camping, bicycle-riding, basketball and spending time with his family during his time off, but it’s clear he also enjoys his work.

As daunting as this task looks, “it’s fun. It’s one of the main reasons I’m here. It beats working for a living. It’s really a hobby.”

There’s that sense of humour again.

New tool will benefit amputees and rehab patients You can help patients through the purchase of a Kinesiologic Electroymyography (EMG) system “EMG can help amputees better use prostheses,” says Audrey Zucker-Levin PhD, PT, and professor in the U of S School of Physical Therapy. She works one day a week with rehab patients at Saskatoon City Hospital.

Zucker-Levin also studies phantom limb sensation and pain. Phantom limb sensation, the distinct feeling that an amputated limb is still present, is common in amputees but may become problematic and disabling if painful.

Understanding nerve and muscle function is key to maximizing function and reducing pain, she adds. “The brain controls how muscles move limbs. After amputation the brain continues to stimulate the nerves of those same muscles but they might not be the same muscles needed to control a prosthesis. A conflict is created, which may cause pain and reduced function.

“The EMG identifies if the muscles needed to control a prosthesis are the same as the muscles the brain says an amputee should use. Understanding this will make patients more functional.”

Zucker-Levin says EMG can also help patients with peripheral neuropathy or those recovering from stroke. “The EMG will show people what muscle they need to use for a specific motion. Therapists can then train patients to get those muscles firing to perform independent tasks.”

Men need to step up to help bring change (Continued from page 1) time for my internship. I was placed in a tiny school in rural Saskatchewan, which at first was really fun and exciting; it was such a nice change from city living.

Within a few weeks of my placement, however, I started getting unwanted attention from one of the male teachers at the school — comments about my hair, what I was wearing and so on.

It made me uncomfortable and I tried to keep my distance, but that was difficult in a small school. Then one Friday he told me I had to come over to his house on the weekend to mark essays.

I figured I didn’t have a choice — at that point I just wanted to get the internship over with and get back to the U of S. When I arrived at his house, the door was open and he called for me to come into his study. I was sick with dread as I walked towards that room, because I think I knew already what was coming.

Sure enough, there he was, sitting at his computer watching porn and masturbating, with bottles of lotion and wadded up tissues all over the desk.

But did I run out and never look back? I should have, but I didn’t.

Instead, in shock, I jumped out of the room and said something about waiting outside, which I did. A few minutes later he came to the door and let me back in,

fully-dressed and put together as if nothing had happened.

We marked the papers without incident, and I finished my internship the same way, but I was sick with stress the whole time. Once I was back in the city and able to process it, I dealt with it through the proper channels, but I wish I had been able to do more in the moment. The good news is I would today, in a heartbeat.

hen we talk about the benefits of exercise, looking better gets the most attention.

Burning off unwanted pounds is a great thing, but let’s not overlook a more immediate benefit of exercise.

Exercise transforms how you feel— quickly.

It’s true. While weight loss takes time and extended effort, all it takes is one workout to begin reaping the reward of a more energetic and capable body.

Here are three ways that your body will feel better with exercise: 1) You’ll Have More Energy How are your energy levels these days? (And I’m talking about natural energy, not energy manufactured by caffeine and other stimulants.)

Do your eyes pop open at the sound of your alarm? Do you bounce through your day with a spring in your step? Or do you hit snooze half a dozen times before getting up and dragging through your day?

While you may not instantly feel like the Energizer Bunny, your energy levels will dramatically increase once you begin a consistent, challenging exercise routine.

How does spending energy create more energy?

Exercise literally creates energy in your body. Your body rises up to meet the challenge for more energy by becoming stronger.

Research consistently concludes that regular exercise increases energy levels and reduces fatigue.

2) You’ll Have Fewer Aches and Pains When you become sedentary, you’ll

quickly find your body developing aches and pains.

You’ll feel it when you stand up - a throb in your back, creaking in your knees and stiffness in your legs. This is pain due to underuse - your body was meant to move!

Movement improves flexibility and range of motion, and releases natural painreducing endorphins, which means that with a regular exercise program, you’ll be moving more smoothly and with less pain than before.

3) You’ll Feel Happy and Confident It’s hard to understand how 30 to 60 minutes a day spent on exercise is able to completely transform how you feel about yourself. But it does.

Think back to the last time that you accomplished something. Maybe you performed well at work and received kudos from your boss, or you finished a project at home that took weeks of your time and concentration.

Do you emember how that accomplishment made you feel? You stood a little bit straighter, you smiled easily, and deep down you felt alive with excitement.

When challenging exercise becomes a regular part of your life, feelings of happiness and confidence also become a part of you.

From now on I want you to forget the idea that exercise is nothing more than a means to achieving a slimmer body. Instead, look at exercise as the complete life enhancer that it is!

How everyday people can cut energy consumption

C

urtailing energy consumption is a great way for people to protect the planet’s natural resources and save money at the same time.

Part of the difficulty with regard to reducing energy consumption is that energy plays such a big role in our lives. Smartphones and tablets have become must-have items, and these items, though not necessarily big consumers of energy, must be plugged in and charged. But individuals won’t have to unplug from their lives to reduce their energy consumption. In fact, there are several easy, non-invasive ways for everyday people to reduce their energy consumption.

• Start with your windows. The windows in a home can help homeowners and apartment dwellers reduce their heating and cooling costs. On cold days, pull back curtains so the natural sunlight can come in and warm the house, reducing the need to turn up the temperature on the thermostat.

When the weather outside is especially warm, hang blackout curtains to prevent the hot sun from warming rooms and increasing the need for air conditioning. In addition, address any leaks around windows to ensure hot and cold air is not escaping and contributing to excessive energy consumption.

• Maintain appliances and replace older ones. While reducing reliance on energythirsty appliances is a great way to reduce energy consumption, no one needs to throw away their refrigerators. Instead, maintain

appliances so they are not forced to work harder, and thereby consume more energy, to function. Routinely clean the filters on window air conditioners, replacing them if they’re worn down. In addition, have HVAC units serviced annually to ensure they’re operating at peak capacity. Replace older appliances, including refrigerators, that are no longer effective.

• Install a low-flow shower head. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install low-flow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially important for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in less than 20 seconds, install a low-flow shower head.

• Install ceiling fans. Ceiling fans can be installed to reduce energy consumption in both summer and winter. In summer, ceiling fans can make home interiors more comfortable by circulating air around a room. That circulation can make rooms feel cooler, providing the same benefit of an air conditioner while consuming considerably less energy. In winter, reverse the rotation of ceiling fans so they circulate warm air and reduce reliance on heating systems.

Naturopathic Medicine

WHAT IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR DOWNSIZING?

One of the easiest Alternatives is moving to a COACH HOME Complex. These are somewhat of a mix between Single Family Homes and Apartment/Condo Style accommodations. The Coach Home that we have personally transitioned to is a PRIVATE, LEVEL ENTRY, 1 FLOOR, 1,000 SQ FT UNIT with a patio and green space as well as a single car garage plus an extra parking stall. It is considered a Condo in that all exterior maintenance, mowing & snow removal are looked after, but still gives us the freedom to do some minor gardening if we wish.

Legal Services Maybe you found a will kit online, or simply wrote your own. It’s free, but buyer beware - you get what you pay for!

Our provincial legislation allows for handwritten wills, but with strict requirements. Will kits may not consider your unique circumstances. Without proper advice and drafting, these documents may not address all issues.

A court dispute after death because of ambiguity or improper understanding of legal terms can cause chaos for those left behind, and cost so much more than the cost of a professionally drafted will.

The question isn’t whether you can write your own will, but whether you should. To make sure your last wishes are legally binding and ensure your estate can be dealt with efficiently, we always recommend consulting a lawyer. Call for an appointment today!

• Always face the person you’re talking to. This allows the person to lip read and use visual cues.

• Speak clearly and naturally at a moderate pace. This allows extra time for the person to process what was said.

• Don’t yell or scream. Louder does not mean better. Yelling causes you to speak abnormally, making it difficult for the person to understand you.

• Repeat and Rephrase if needed. If there’s a chance you were misunderstood, say it again.

• Use other communication techniques. Text messages, email and even writing notes are effective ways to get your message across.

Now that the weather is colder, what can I do to continue to exercise?

Physical activity throughout the year is a part of healthy aging and can help prevent falls and fractures. When walking outside remember to: • Choose warm, stable footwear – look for well-insulated and lightweight footwear with a non-slip tread sole.

• Consider a cane or walking poles, and have the Sage staff install a cane ice pick.

• Use ice grippers on foot wear, when going to the mall, etc., take an extra pair of shoes to change into, as the cleats on grippers can be slippery indoors, and will wear down.

There are many options for indoor exercising.

• Market Mall for example has indoor walking, as well as the field house and leisure facilities.

• In motion has exercise programs in many facilities.

• In your own home, a pedal exerciser and therabands are great tools and can be used at any time of the day!

Even while watching your favorite TV show!

(Continued from page 9) or the Rotarians, it is part of their international approach. Years ago, they participated in a world-wide program to eradicate polio and the latest report is that polio today only affects small numbers of people.

One of the strongest continuing Rotarian roles in Saskatoon has been the Restorative Action Program (RAP), which now has seven facilitators working in nine high schools, trying to help students resolve some of the issues they face daily.

“Basil Hughton was the principal at Mount Royal Collegiate who was concerned about teenagers who were kicked out of school on a short-term basis and would never come back. Peter Whitenect and Don Somers came up with the idea of finding and hiring facilitators who would go right into the classrooms, find out who had the problems and gave them the support tools,” said Brodsky.

“Winston Blake, who was well-trained as a conflict resolution individual, started as a facilitator and he is now the execu-

tive director. This is a program that is one of a kind in the world. We have a board of directors, a staff which works hands-on and we get support from Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Education and Ministry of Justice and from the Saskatoon Police Service.”

Sometimes the issues are about bullying and, as Brodsky said, “now we have teenagers admitting they are bullies and deep down, they don’t want to be bullies.”

Reaching out to young people has always been a happy tradition with Brodsky. Watching young men grow with the Saskatoon Blades was one thing, but he also has taken steps to help with the future of WHL skaters.

The WHL scholarship program was launched by Ed Chynoweth and Rick Brodsky, then fell into the hands of Brodsky from the moment he became president of the Blades until he left the team.

One of his associates was Edmonton’s Jim Donlevy, who held the title of director of education services.

to play in the National Hockey League.

If that works, that’s fine. But if the NHL doesn’t work out for them, they need educational support,” said Brodsky.

“We guaranteed a year of tuition and books for boys to attend post-secondary schools for every year they played as a junior. We’ve been proud of the success rate. If you’ve checked the rosters of the Alberta Golden Bears or the Saskatchewan Huskies lately, they are being filled by former WHL players.”

Brodsky was also the chair of the 2010 hockey World Junior Championship when it came to Saskatoon and Regina. One of the bonuses for Saskatchewan was the establishment of scholarships for the province’s Junior A and Midget Triple AAA leagues.

Brodsky also likes to honour hockey heroes of the past and jumped at the chance to help organize the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame.

“The idea for a hall came from Marc Habscheid, a former Blade who was coaching at Swift Current at the time.

When he moved, Swift Current Mayor

Jerrod Schafer and a friend, Mick MacBean, took over the hometown leadership and we held our first dinner in Swift Current in 2012,” said Brodsky.

Subsequent dinners have been held in Regina, Prince Albert, Humboldt, Weyburn and North Battleford and the next one will go back to Swift Current in the summer of 2018. Brodsky hopes the dinner will come to Saskatoon sometime soon.

The hall was recognized recently when the Hockey Canada Foundation awarded a gift of $83,272. The money will be used for capital upgrades to Swift Current’s iPlex.

The Brodskys continue to support the community whole-heartedly. That includes Jack’s wife, Shirley, who is president of the Saskatchewan Horse Federation and their children, Heather, David and John.

“When we sold the construction business, David was eight years old. Now he has jumped in and is rebuilding a new version of the company right from scratch,” said Brodsky.

Guaranteed investments – the downside

aregivers are unpaid individuals, typically a spouse, child, neighbor, or friend, who assist with activities of daily living and medical tasks. These informal caregivers often fill in gaps between medical professionals or paid aides to meet the needs of incapacitated individuals.

Though both men and women serve as caregivers, females are the largest segment of unpaid caregivers, handling some of the most difficult tasks, such as bathing and dressing.

Many caregivers selflessly give back by providing assistance to a friend or family member, and view this type of service as a form of charitable giving. Others see it as simply being a good friend or family member. Although it can be rewarding to care

ngoing market volatility has many Canadian investors beating a path from equity investments to lowrisk vehicles like Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) and money market mutual funds.

The risks of safety But “safe” investments have risks of their own. With interest rates remaining near record lows, returns are likely to be negligible. In May 2017, for example, the best available rate on a three-year GIC was less than 2% at most institutions.1 And then there’s the issue of taxation.

for another person, caregiving also can be a stressful job that takes both a physical and emotional toll on caregivers. Caregiver stress is a very real side effect.

It is important for caregivers to recognize that offering medical care and support can leave them vulnerable to a wide range of consequences. These can include anxiety, depression, fatigue, and even increased exposure to illness. It can be particularly sad to witness a loved one’s health gradually deteriorate.

Keep in mind, too, that the top combined marginal tax rate on interest income is well over 50% in several provinces.2 Unfortunately, there’s still inflation to take into account. As of December 2016, inflation was running at 1.5% annually.3 In other words, once you factor in low interest rates, income taxes, and inflation, those “guaranteed” returns could actually be costing you money.

pressure and diabetes than men. Depression is quite common among caregivers who spend a lot of time assisting those with various dementias because of the constant care such people require.

To remain as healthy as possible, caregivers should take steps to recognize symptoms of caregiver stress and avoid burnout. Here are some signs to keep in mind: • Feelings of being overwhelmed • Feeling alone or deserted by others • Social withdrawal from friends or activities that used to make you feel good • Exhaustion that makes it challenging to complete necessary tasks • Sleeplessness or sleeping more than normal • Lack of concentration that impacts

Earning ‘real’ returns Over the longer term, equities have historically outpaced inflation by a greater margin than assets that generate interest income. In addition, equities have the potential to generate dividend income and capital gains, both of which are taxed more favourably than interest income when earned outside a registered account.

What about volatility? It’s true that equities may fluctuate in value over the short term. However, a big part of our mandate is to mitigate that risk. We do that by making sure your portfolio is diversified and focusing on the long term.

s the weather gets colder we start craving comfort food and big bold red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark in colour, Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s most widely recognized red wine grape varieties.

Widely planted, this grape variety tends to be medium to full-bodied wine with fruit aromas associated with dark fruit such as black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant. Other pleasing aromas include, bell peppers, mint and eucalyptus.

This wine not only pairs nicely with assorted cheeses such as aged cheddar, blue cheese and smoked gouda, and BBQ steak; it also pairs perfectly with comfort foods such as lasagna, homemade pizza, and beef stews.

She has lived in the community for just over 4 years and is very happy. October is a very special month for Marguerite because as a breast cancer survivor, she is very active in our community raising money for cancer research. She raised 4 children with her husband on a farm near Elstow Sask. She was educated as a nurse but decided to work on the farm beside her husband. They were world travelers, attending the World Curling Championships in Germany, Sandra Schmirler and Rick Folk rinks both won that year. Words of wisdom, “If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.”

When we think of comfort food we think of lasagna. Over the years I have perfected my lasagna recipe with homemade tomato meat sauce that is savoury with hints of sweetness. The sweetness comes from cinnamon and honey. But we can’t forget about one of the most important ingredients – cheese! We use 4 different cheeses to give it the richness in flavour and balance the sweetness from the tomato meat sauce. Regardless, this mouthwatering dish pairs perfectly with our Cabernet Sauvignon or any of our Cabernet blends.

Respite care or relying on others to fill in can free up time for a caregiver to relax and recharge. It is also important to prevent caregiving from becoming a person’s whole existence. Investing time in other things that provide meaning and purpose can help caregivers find balance. Also, focusing on the things that can be controlled and small victories can make a difference.

When weight loss may be worrisome

D

ieting is a way of life for many people. The figures are close to $7 billion in Canada. However, for one segment of the population - the elderly - weight loss can be a sign of something wrong.

The Mayo Clinic says that malnutrition is a serious health concern among seniors.

Inadequate nutrition can result in weight loss that has far-reaching health effects.

These include a compromised immune system, which increases the risk of infections, poor wound healing and muscle weakness that can result in falls and fractures.

Malnutrition also can lead to further disinterest in eating, which only compounds a weight loss problem. Weight loss and loss of appetite are common among seniors, particularly those with dementia. Learning to recognize weight loss signs in the elderly can help others act promptly to correct the problem.

According to senior care advocate and placement center A Place for Mom, the senior population is at risk of malnourishment for several reasons, including: • lack of energy to cook, • specific health conditions that impact ability to prepare or acquire meals, • lack of appetite attributed to decreased taste bud function or depression,

Home care designed especially for you

• inability to afford quality foods, and • side effects of certain medications.

Unfortunately, malnutrition is a very common, yet widely undiagnosed, problem among seniors. If a friend or loved one has visible bones under the skin; loose dentures; loose rings on fingers; has dropped clothing sizes; or is leaving food on his or her plate, they may be suffering from malnourishment. Concerned loved ones can take several steps to determine if their friend or family member is malnourished.

• Observe loved ones’ eating habits at home to see how they are eating. Routinely check the refrigerator and pantry to see which foods your loved one is eating.

In a nursing home setting, check with a nursing administrator to see how mealtimes are going.

• Speak with doctors to see if weight loss is a side effect of medications or another health concern. Bring up any concerns you have about malnutrition.

• Provide finger food or easy-tomanage foods for seniors who have lost dexterity so they’re still able to feed themselves.

• Encourage foods that are fortified with nutrients. Supplementation with nutritional shakes can help fill the void.

Seniors may need some help with meals to ensure they do not suffer the effects of malnutrition.

• Make meals social events so that the concept of gathering around the table for food is fun.

• Mild or moderate exercise can stir up one’s appetite. Walking or chair-based exercises can help make people more

interested in food.

• Introduce new foods that can whet the appetite.

Weight loss can benefit some people.

But among the elderly, weight loss may be a byproduct of malnutrition.

Magic City Chorus presentation to feature the songs of Canadians

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express orma Wallace has been singing and performing with the Magic City Chorus for 30 years. One of the many things she knows about the chorus is that people attending the group’s annual concert will leave with smiles on their faces.

Wallace comes from a singing background, following in the path of her mother, Velma Wallace. Two of Norma’s sisters — Linda Mackie and Barb Stobbs —are in the Magic City Chorus. Linda drives to Saskatoon for Tuesday rehearsals from Prince Albert and Barb from Birch Hills.

Another sister, Pat Larre, sings in choruses in both Vancouver and Victoria. The Vancouver one recently finished second at the world championships in Las Vegas. A chorus from Toronto won the competition.

This year Magic City’s presentation will be a tribute to Canada’s 150th birthday — Canada: One People, One Voice. The music performed will be related to Canada, whether it be arranged, written or if the person who made it famous is Canadian.

“It’s the story of two sisters going through an old truck of their grandparents

N

and some of the memories they find,” Norma Wallace said.

That leads to a number of vignettes, including a takeoff on the McKenzie brothers of Great White North fame.

Wallace said the vignettes add an element of musical theatre to the production.

The audience will recognize all or almost all of the songs in the program, including a medley of folk songs, she added.

A highlight at this year’s concert is having Joseph Naytowhow as a special guest.

Magic City director Cheryl Pearce found one of Naytowhow’s songs — We Are All One People — in a hymn book and loved the message.

Pearce contacted Naytowhow and he agreed to be part of the show. The chorus will back him on We Are All One People.

“We are so excited that he is able to perform with us,” Wallace said. “He will do some of his drumming and singing with us and he will have a portion that is for him alone.”

Another solo artist will be Pearce. She has been directing the chorus since 2006, but has never stepped directly into the limelight.

The chorus will perform two shows on

The Magic City Chorus will perform twice on Nov. 4 at the Erindale Alliance Church. (Photo Supplied)

Alcohol Will AlWAys Win

Dear Lianne I was introduced to this CEO of a huge company. His mind massaged my brain and I was so excited about developing a long lasting relationship with this person as we shared many common interests. He is charming, supportive, intelligent and leads a lifestyle that most would only dream of. Early on in our relationship he invited me to join him on a business trip.

It was a nightmare including

him being drunk all the time, lying and hiding the fact he was drinking. He lost bladder and bowel control. At some points he was non-functional and I had to babysit him.

He was arrested for drinking and driving and tried to minimize it and lie his way out of it with me. Now I am left with a decision. Do I confront him with my concerns and stand by him while he gets help or continue my search for love. – Jodi

Dear Jodi, I wanted to start off by suggesting that you are delusional but thought that it would be too harsh. I’m really feeling that you need to hear me loud and clear.

You are involved with a functioning alcoholic who likely fools most. You had a glimpse of what life with him would be like. It would be a life of constant misery. When someone has an addiction, the addiction is always number one. You would be left behind picking up the pieces. You can’t help this man and he has not gotten to the

point where he is acknowledging that he has a problem. He is still trying to hide it. He will need to hit absolute bottom and if he survives that he will then potentially reach out for help.

You can not help him. By standing by him, you will simply be enabling him.

I would suggest you contact Al-Anon and learn what life with an alcoholic is like. It seems as though you were enthralled with the lifestyle and not so much the man. I would run as fast as I could away from this situation. There is nothing good that can come out of this.

by Brian Quirt.

Majumdar will likely be familiar to Canadian theatre fans; she is an award-winning actress, playwright and choreographer who was the 2013 recipient of the Governor General’s Protégé Prize in Playwriting, under the mentorship of John Murrell. She was recently awarded two Dora Mavor Moore awards for Outstanding Performance and Outstanding New Play, and her acting credits include performances in Deepa Mehta’s adaptation of the Salman Rushdie novel Midnight’s Children and the

CBC film Murder Unveiled.

Not surprisingly, Majumdar, who has been dancing for two decades, infuses dance into her latest production, which focuses on the lives of two teen girls in B.C. Fish Eyes and Let Me Borrow That Top are presented together as two dance plays, tackling issues such as coming of age and cultural heritage.

A review of Majumdar’s solo work, published earlier this month by Toronto’s weekly news and entertainment magazine NOW, was headlined with: “The Fish Eyes Trilogy is an essential, timely work.” The publication also noted that Majumdar’s trio of solo shows “shed light on consent, cultural appropriation and colonialism – and there’s some great dancing.”

Fish Eyes runs from Nov. 1 – 12 in the BackStage Stage at the Remai Arts Centre.

Actor having time of her life in Summer Players production Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express obin Burlingham has long wanted to play the iconic character Jo March, and she will soon have that opportunity when Saskatoon Summer Players (SSP) presents the musical version of Little Women.

Jo March is the bold, independent and intelligent protagonist in Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel of the same name.

Jo is also the second eldest of the book’s four fictional March sisters, who grew up during the American Civil War. “I just love it,” Burlingham said of playing Jo. “I’m just having the time of my life in rehearsals. I love Jo as a character; she’s strong and outspoken and passionate and fun. It’s a role that I’ve wanted to play for just years and years, ever since I first heard this show. It’s a really inspiring character, and I feel really honoured to be playing it.”

Burlingham said Little Women is more of a “relationship-driven” show than a “plot-driven” story and is ultimately about “these little girls growing up and finding their way in the world.” SSP is billing the show as offering “the complete theatre experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit.”

While the show is new to SSP — it’s being presented for the first time in the organization’s 53-year history — Burlingham is not new to the stage, having first done a show with the organization about 15 years ago. Although the mother of one has a day job as an investigator with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, she continues to make time in her busy schedule for SSP. “I have a lot of great friends in the show.

The organization in general has just been so supportive, and it’s a great community full of people who love doing this and who volunteer their time,” Burlingham said.

“We’re not getting paid. Everyone’s a volunteer who’s involved with this show,” she added.

“The organization has maybe one or two paid positions, just for administration, but everyone who’s acting in the show and directing the show — and people working behind the scenes on sets and costumes and props — they’re volunteers. And it is a big commitment. We’re

R

putting in a lot of hours.”

While SSP is a community-based, non-profit organization, it aims to perform musical theatre of professional quality.

The organization’s inception dates back to 1964, when a group of amateurs working out of Knox United Church staged their first production, Oklahoma. Drawing on the talents and dedication of local volunteer casts and orchestras, as well the behind-thescenes volunteers, SSP continues to present one main-stage musical in the summer, and sometimes a smaller show later in the year.

Bobby Williston, a local drama and music teacher, is serving as the director of Little Women. He advocated that SSP produce the show after seeing the original production on Broadway. In an SSP news release, Williston described it as “a heartwarming tale of the strength and character of the female spirit.”

“It is playfully full of zest and tragically pulls at heartstrings, delving into the most human struggles of family, love, friendship and loss,” he said.

“Each character is full, realistically showing us our own humanity on stage, and the issues surrounding societal views of women could not be more relevant.

With such a wealth of female talent in the city of Saskatoon, this harrowing journey of four young women is a perfect tale to be explored by Saskatoon Summer Players and the audiences of this city.”

Joining Burlingham in bringing the other March sisters to the stage are Julia Macpherson (Amy), Siarra Riehl (Meg) and Heather Currie (Beth). Ultimately, Burlingham believes Little Women is “pretty timeless.”

“So I think there’s a lot for audiences to connect with,” she said.

“It’s sort of just growing up and finding your way and having challenges and setbacks, and sort of realizing that a lot of the time it’s family that’s with you there through all of that.”

Little Women The Musical plays at The Broadway Theatre from Nov. 8 – 11. Shows will take place nightly at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee set for 2 p.m. on Nov. 11.

Small-town friendly, big-city pharmacy offers special services Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express t is important to Michael Kani to have a small-town feel at his big-city pharmacy.

After moving to Saskatoon from Toronto almost three years ago, he joined a big-box pharmacy. During his two years with the company he spent a lot of time in rural Saskatchewan. He listed the names of some of those places during an interview.

(Continued from page 20) for the most part, you are on . . . I am focusing on the relationship side versus the transaction. My hope is that I continue to build a relationship with my patients. The prescription stuff is more residual; it will come on its own as a result of that.”

One of the conveniences he provides is the option of texting him when a refill is required, or if there is a question a patient wants answered.

Questions Kani anticipates being asked in the near future are those pertaining to marijuana as Canada moves closer to legalizing cannabis. He and his employee, pharmacist Trent Holbird, are working on a presentation they can give to teachers and students. Holbird recently did a test run for teachers at a school in Prince Albert.

Kani said his pharmacy is a leader in this area.

“I can tell you definitively that no pharmacy in the city does this in terms of the medical cannabis counselling with patients and physicians. It is a value-added service we are able to provide.

“It allows patients to come see us. If they have any questions at all, they know they have a medical professional who understands the drug and can advise you on a medical basis.”

Kani said he is hopeful pharmacies will be able to distribute medical marijuana.

“Not the recreational side, just the medical,” he said. “Pharmacies wouldn’t be interested in the recreational side because it is like selling cigarettes in pharmacies; there is no health benefit to it. On the medical side, if the government allows us to distribute it, then we will be heavily involved in assisting patients. Cannabis does have medical benefits, there is no doubt about it and the evidence is fairly clear.”

Another area of focus at Michael’s is in the world of DNA. Kani said genetics help determine what medications people should be using and which ones are unlikely to work. He said there are cases where pain medication doesn’t work for people. He said these people are often put on higher doses.

“It could be that genetics allows it to metabolize so quickly that you are unable to get a benefit from it. As a result they are taking medications that have no benefit against side effects.”

He said a DNA test is done with a

cheek swab. He said the test results will help decide which medications are best for patients. A report will be sent to the patient’s doctor where it can be used to determine future prescriptions.

Another area in which Kani is trying to distinguish himself is in probiotics. He is a believer in the benefits of probiotics and carries a full line.

“I am finding these niches. Most pharmacies will have just your occasional probiotics. I carry just about everything for probiotics. Depending on what you are trying to treat, I will have it and I have the science to back it up.”

He said he wants to move into pet medicine. He says he can provide the service at a lower cost.

“If you buy prescription medications from vets, they are quite expensive — like ridiculously expensive. The cost will be a lot cheaper. I am working on that quite diligently to get all those systems in place.”

Kani moved to Saskatoon after graduating from the University of Waterloo in Ontario to be closer to his girlfriend, who has now been his wife for two years. He said Saskatoon has been a great fit for him.

“When I came out of school I was full of zeal, full of excitement – you are going to go out and conquer the world because of all the things you’ve learned.”

He said his first job was dampening his spirit, so he decided to go it alone.

“I figured, you know what, I am going to jump in with two feet. I am still young, if it doesn’t work out I can always go back to work and figure it out then. It hasn’t been easy, but so far so good.

“I work with my patients one on one. I do pain management. I do medical marijuana related stuff. I am introducing all of these new services; my DNA is one of the big ones I have introduced recently.

“So I am doing all these things that I want to do. I am not paying myself yet,” he said with a smile, “but it is the most fulfilling thing I have done so far.”

Michael’s is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The pharmacy is closed on Sundays.

Michael’s is located at 40-210 Slimmon Road. It can be reached by calling 306651-5264 or by emailing michaelspharmacysk@gmail.com. Visit its website at Remedys.ca/store/michaels.

Halo Gala, Choc ’la Cure to be held in city on Nov. 3 Cirque du Soleil

C

Saskatoon Express hoc ’la Cure and the Halo Gala, two of Saskatoon’s premiere fundraising events, will be held Nov. 3.

The Halo Gala is presented by the Angels & Friends Foundation.

Bradley and Tracy Schiele started the foundation in February 2014. The Schieles’ daughter, Ali, is one of the Angels. She was born in Saskatoon on Nov. 2, 2011. At the age of 16 months she was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome.

The syndrome is a rare neuro-genetic disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 births, according to angelman.org. Characteristics of the disorder include developmental delay, lack of speech, seizures and walking and balance disorders.

There is no cure. Individuals with Angelman Syndrome require lifelong care.

Since 2014, the Saskatoon-based founda-

tion has helped almost 300 Angels and Friends in the province.

“The foundation’s name is symbolic in what we do and who we support. Individuals with Angelman Syndrome are often referred to as ‘Angels’ both for the syndrome name but also for their general happy demeanour,” it says on the foundation’s website.

“The word ‘Angels’ therefore represents Ali and all other Angels living among us. The word ‘Friends’ represents those children, who like Ali, bravely battle through life living with an intellectual disorder. Thus, the foundation aims to better the lives of Angels and their Friends.

“Angels & Friends is run by a volunteer board of directors who dedicate their time and expertise toward helping Saskatchewan children who live with an intellectual disability.”

The Halo Gala will be held Nov. 3 at TCU Place. Doors open at 6 p.m. There will be dinner, gaming tables, entertainment and a silent

Tickets are $150, with a tax receipt provided. Tickets are available at picatic Halo Gala or at angelsandfriends.ca. ***** In its 10 years, Choc ’la Cure has raised more than $2.1 million for the purchase of equipment used in the treatment of men, women and children at the Saskatoon Cancer Centre.

Choc ’la Cure was founded by those whose lives have been touched by cancer. They want those needing treatment to have the best possible chance for living healthy and happy lives. For that to happen, state-of-the-art equipment is needed.

The Choc’laCure committee is volunteer based with 100 per cent of the money raised going directly into funding equipment for the cancer centre.

The gala is raising funds this year for advanced medical imaging and treatment.

Medical imaging helps develop exact treatment plans specific to a patient’s case. This is the second year of the two-year project.

Tickets for the event, which will be held at Dutch Growers, are $200 each and are available at choclacure.com/tickets. Cocktails are at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. There will be live and silent auctions, as well as local entertainment. And, of course, signature chocolate DS103001 desserts. Dan

Iditarod dogged by doping

By RJ Currie he top three drugs discovered in the Iditarod dog-doping scandal: 3. HGH (husky growth hormone); 2. Fidonium; 1. Spotify.

• At the Grand Slam curling event in Lloydminster, Sweden’s Niklas Edin almost had a 7-ender go against him. Or as my old curling team used to call that — the usual.

• Apparently the cow that recently wandered onto a Brooklyn soccer field had momentarily escaped being slaughtered. It was like halftime for a Cleveland Brown.

• The Phoenix Suns sent bench boss Earl Watson packing only three games into the season. This may be the NBA’s fastest break ever.

• Many Canadians recently had paraskevidekatriaphobia: fear of Friday the 13th. A more common October ailment in Canada is parkasevidekatriaphobia. Fear of winter coats.

• Ten games into the NHL season, Arizona is the only team without a win. They’re going to start calling them the Coy-oh-oh-tes.

• Tiger Woods has pleaded guilty to reckless driving. His short game hasn’t been much either.

• According to a new study, sex with robots will be common in 2067.

And thousands of divorced couples are thinking: “Been there; done that.”

• Last year, 26.5 miles represented: a) the actual length of the Milwaukee Marathon; b) The total distance surrendered by the Niners defence.

• Maybe Marshawn Lynch could spend some of his suspension catching a few rays on the California coast. We’re talking beach mode.

• Tar Heels star Joel Berry broke a bone in his right hand after hitting a door in anger over losing a video game. What’s position does Berry play? Pointless guard?

• A kitten wandered onto the field during the Ravens 40-0 thrashing of Dolphins. It looked just as weak as — well, you know — the Dolphins offence.

• Occidental Tigers, an NCAA D3 football team, forfeited the rest of season after injuries left them without enough players. Might be time for a name change: Accidental Tigers.

• A Welsh rugby player missed a game after a lion bit his hand as he tried patting it in its cage. Lucky for sports humourists, pro athletes continue to do really dumb things.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week I saw a Halloween photo of an NBA dancer dressed as a bee. Her skirt was so short in the back, you could see her bumble.

Views of the World

What would Churchill think of Trump?

as the grandstand at Mosaic Stadium 1 been knocked down yet? Has Darian Durant come and gone from his return to Regina? My gosh people, have two stories ever been as overdone as those two? A feed on Facebook to watch the demolition? A reporter on site telling us how the structure may be gone, but the memories will live on? The whole thing was way, way over the top.

• From Torben Rolfsen: “The big question on the minds of hockey fans: can Connor McDavid catch Derek Dorsett in goal scoring?”

• A question from Janice Hough: “If the Astros win the World Series, will they ask Altuve if he is going to Disneyland, even though he’s not tall enough for most of rides?”

• Jason Maas is an idiot, and I’d tell him that to his ears.

• From TC Chong: “Sears Canada is closing all its stores. Customers have been told to take all returns, product issues and complaints to Target.”

• In the aftermath of the Maple Leafs loss to Carolina, goalie Frederik Andersen criticized the team’s play. He didn’t mention he let in six goals.

Fast Freddie is now 38th in the NHL in save percentage and 40th in goals-against average.

• Somewhere in the JFK files there will be evidence that Ted Cruz’s father was the second shooter.

• From Rolfsen: “Less insightful: a Donald Trump tweet or a Cam Newton press conference?”

• Chong, on Joe Girardi, Dusty Baker and John Farrell all being fired: “All three managers made the playoffs this year. So real job security is if you are the field boss of teams like the Mariners, Padres or Giants.”

• From Hough: “Maybe it would be faster and easier if all the women in Hollywood who weren’t assaulted by Harvey Weinstein came forward.”

• Eye gouge, throat grab, headshot. Professional

wrestling or the Miami Dolphins in a game against the Baltimore Ravens?

• Rolfsen, on Justin Timberlake being named the Super Bowl 52 halftime act: “With all the fog at Gillette Stadium, I thought they were going to announce KISS.” • Hough, on a woman claiming she got bed bug bites on a British Airways flight to London: “U.S. carriers are appalled: they would have probably charged a ‘wildlife’ fee.”

• In their housecleaning the Toronto Blue Jays fired the visiting clubhouse manager. Len Frejlich was one of the team’s last employees from the birth of the team. These are not the cuddly Blue Jays they were when people like Pat Gillick and Paul Beeston were running the show.

• Chong, on the Phoenix Suns firing their coach after an 0-3 start: “They said ‘tanking’ was unacceptable after just three games.”

• From Rolfsen: “I keep thinking Justin Turner is going to try to sell me some Jack Link’s beef jerky.”

• Hough, on Nicolas Soames, Winston Churchill’s grandson, referring to Trump as ‘daft twerp’: “I can only imagine terms his granddad would use.”

• A diehard Blue Bombers fan told me he’d rather his team play the Riders than the Eskimos in the playoffs. “Only because the Esks historically have owned the Bombers — including Warren Moon over Dieter Brock again and again.” I always preferred Ralph Brock more than Dieter.

• For what it’s worth, I’d rather the Riders play Toronto than Winnipeg.

• From Rolfsen: “New Dave Roberts reality show: Extreme Bullpen Makeover.”

• Hough, on former NBA commissioner David Stern thinking medical marijuana should be taken off the league’s banned substance list: “Well it’s high time.”
