We’re Proud of Synergy 8

Charitable group honoured at B’nai Brith dinner

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express roy Davies found it a little ironic, but very rewarding, when the B’nai Brith Silver Plate dinner committee honoured the nine members of the Synergy 8 Community Builders on Nov. 8.

For 46 years, B’nai Brith has been honouring and celebrating Saskatoon community leaders with the We’re Proud of You award. The winner’s list has read like a who’s who of movers and shakers.

Until this year, the award has followed in the tradition of recognizing an individual.

With the Synergy Builders, the B’nai Brith broke tradition.

“I’m not sure if the nine of us would ever be standing on this stage as individuals,” said Davies, Synergy co-founder, city councillor and director of public relations for MD Ambulance Care. “But as a group we have been able to achieve suc-

The first celebrity guest for a Synergy 8 golf tournament was former National Hockey League player Ray Bourque in 2009. Then the membership opted into a pattern of acquiring stars from the Professional Golf Association.

The Eaton’s Once Upon Christmas holiday exhibit is now open at the Western Development Museum. It’s the 30th year for the exhibit which was built in 1946 for the Eaton’s store in Winnipeg. The display made its way to Saskatoon’s Eaton’s store in 1977 and appeared there annually until 1984. In 1987, the collection was donated to the Western Development Museum where it has become a holiday season fixture. We are so lucky. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)

What would you have done? Move the cart up a few feet? Ask her if she would move the cart? I took the easy way out.

Besides, do we want to know what our governor general believes? Or would we rather just ignore the whole thing, and assume the GG has no viewpoint? That would be ridiculous. Folks don’t get to be GG because they’ve accomplished squat in their lives. They’re going to have brains, and opinions.

Sure, once in a while, our heads of state have to actually do something beyond figurehead ceremonies. It happened recently in B.C., where the lieutenant governor had to pick a premier. But most of the time, that role is pretty flat, unless the human in that role takes on a cause. Many have. This one has, too. Should our governor general not find some way to advance the country, or its citizens?

No one’s rights are at stake, here. But if they were, we’d want to know. So carry on, Julie Payette. Like her words or no, she’s a pretty interesting governor general.

Hola! There’s Latin food on the menu at Picaro Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express or a week this spring, Brad and Carmen Hamm and Chris and Courtney Hill ate constantly.

On a culinary tour of Mexico City, which they describe as “research and development,” they hit 12 restaurants a day, as well as doing a street meat taco tour.

Yes, they were full, admits Carmen. But it was worth every bite.

What they learned from the Mexican chefs was that their new concept for a Latin food resto, using local food whenever possible, was a great idea. The chefs had no problem with it; in fact, they gave a collective thumbs up.

The outcome is Picaro, which opened in late September on the famed southwest corner of 20th Street and Idylwyld Drive. Local diners may already know the Hamms as the local partners in Una Pizza +Wine on Broadway, and Courtney Hill as the restaurant’s general manager.

“A few years back, our intention was to start multiple restaurants in Saskatoon,” said Brad Hamm. “Carmen had 14 years of experience in restaurants, grew up at her grandfather’s restaurant, working in the dish pit and everything under the sun; then put herself through school serving. I had

“We wanted a place here that felt like a little bit of an escape . . . we all have busy days and busy worlds. We want our restaurants to feel like you can cast that aside and be on vacation, in that mode of relaxing and carefree.”

Chris was in charge of the menu. He and his former sous chef, now Picaro executive chef Steve Squire, had little experience in Latin food, so they jumped at the chance to expand their skills.

“We’re taking local suppliers and local ingredients, and putting a Latin twist on them,” said Chris. “We are by no means authentic, nor do we pretend to be.

no restaurant or hospitality industry experience. So we partnered with an alreadysuccessful couple in Calgary who first had Una Pizza.

“We opened Una Pizza +Wine in Saskatoon and cut our teeth on that. It went very well. As part of the process, we learned the things we hadn’t known about the hospitality industry before that.

“We knew that we wanted to do this concept even before we started the pizza place. But we knew we didn’t know what we needed to know. Yet.” “Our hope in Una and Picaro and future ventures is creating the kind of spaces that we want to go to eat,” said Carmen.

“That’s the goal. That’s what we’re trying to do for now and for the future.”

They opened Una, met Chris, a Frenchtrained chef, through Courtney, “and found that we thought they were fine people,” said Brad. “We thought we’d be great partners with them, so we approached them about a year and a half ago and it turned out our values and our vision lined up really nicely for this concept.”

The vision, said Carmen, is an escape from the day to day. And the cold.

“We, like everyone in Saskatoon, try to, a little bit, escape the winter,” said Car-

whether by birthright or naturalization, were not encouraged to celebrate their cultural or racial origins. Assimilation was the goal.

Indigenous history is not just about First Nations. It includes Metis and Inuit people as well. A curriculum should include the history of Metis people, a group that (based on my information) was shunned by both indigenous and nonindigenous people.

Canadians should know the history of Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, and why battles like Batoche occurred. And for many citizens, the Inuit are still forgotten.

It seems like we know so little and want to learn even less.

Eyre was wrong to bring her personal issues regarding her son’s education into the political sphere. She erred in judgment by haphazardly speaking of a curriculum review before garnering the necessary information through the experts in her ministry or having a model curriculum to present.

She is a relative newcomer to cabinet and this was clearly a rookie mistake, but not a termination offence. In education lingo, this unfortunate situation could have become a “teachable moment.”

But rather than using this opportunity to engage the public about “complex” indigenous issues, we engage in blood sport to pillory a politician who misspoke.

Will the future of indigenous education queue up behind issues like health care, where the mere thought of discussing how to improve it to the benefit of all, becomes an attack on anyone who dares open their mouth? Yes, because the premier has already announced that there will be no review.

Just a reminder to one and all, if you don’t know your history you are doomed to repeat it — and not all our history should be repeated. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

I don’t want to end up with back problems, but I am risk, because I have an office job. — Marcus Dear Marcus, Depending on your budget, you can purchase a chair with many features. If you do not have the luxury of an adjustable chair, look for the following. Your feet should be flat on the floor when you sit comfortably.

Your thighs should be horizontal and your arms should be in line with the desk. Look for a chair with proper lumbar support so that you are not tempted to slouch as you work. Also, look for a chair with lots of padding so that you feel comfy all day long.

Before you purchase your chair, consider a yoga balance ball chair, which is intended to align your spine, relieve back pain and stiffness and boost energy.

Festival of Trees has increased hours Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express he Festival of Trees is a magical and long-standing Christmas tradition in Saskatoon. This year there will be more of it.

Two extra days have been added to the festival to accommodate its high demand and its popularity.

The festival officially opens this year on Nov. 24 at 5 p.m. and runs daily, with the exception of Nov. 25, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. until Dec. 2. Festival doors are open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 25 The event draws hundreds of Saskatoon residents of all ages to the Western Development Museum (WDM) to kick off the holiday season by taking a stroll among the 75 decorated Christmas trees and displays set up along Boomtown’s Main Street.

Organizers say there is something for all ages at the event, which has chosen the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation’s Equip

The goal of the campaign is to enrich research and treatment at the hospital’s Multiple Sclerosis Clinic.

Dinner theatre brings laughter to the holiday stage

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express ennis Beerling is promising some pre-Christmas laughter for the Saskatoon dinner theatre crowd.

Beerling will direct Baggage, a comedy

by Sam Bobrick, for the annual launch of the Christmas season at Mayfair United Church from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2.

Dinner will be served nightly at 6 p.m., with the show at 7:30 p.m. Both dinner tickets and show tickets are available.

was inspired by the famous song from the movie The Sound of Music, and is reflected by all of the favourite things on display including Christmas trees, decorations, gingerbread houses, and within the festival’s other special events and attractions like the popular Brunch with Santa or Father/ Daughter Gala.

Designers of each attraction have been tasked with choosing their own favourite things, and will base their sparkling creations around them, whether it’s a special story, a favorite colour or even a favourite food or candy.

New for 2017 are the Festival of Trees’ increased hours, as well as a second night for the extremely popular Peter Pan Pajama Party. There will also be character parades on Nov. 25, Nov. 26 and Dec. 2, all starting at 11:30 a.m.

port. They get to know each other, hoping that a new friendship will erase some of the past heartaches in their lives.

“It’s a happy, silly comedy that is meant for dinner theatre audiences,” said Beerling.

“The trick in dinner theatre is finding a gem which works on a small stage in a church setting, and that requires due diligence. Because of the size of the stage, the cast size can be anywhere from four to 12. I once had a cast of 12 where all were on the stage at the same time.

“I usually look through a registry of plays with 5,000 possibilities, narrow the

selections down to 75, reduce it to another 15 and I have a committee which lends advice on the final choice.”

Beerling likes the deep pool of amateur talent in Saskatoon and chose Mackenzie Lambe, Darren Zimmer, Roger Pilon and Tracy Sutherland as his cast this year. All have experience from either Greystone Theatre at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Summer Players or from the one-time community theatre powerhouse, Gateway Theatre.

Beerling has been in theatre for decades. He acted at Bedford Road ColAS112018 Aaronas a major at the unilegiate, chose drama

versity, became Gateway’s first president in 1965 and once directed a Gateway play, A Country Wife, at a national festival.

When Gateway folded in 2012, Beerling sought out Mayfair Church as a partner. He’s built up a strong team of volunteers behind the scenes.

Supper is catered by Carlo Catering and this year’s choices are roast beef and stuffed chicken breasts. Tickets are $35 for dinner and show; $20 for the show alone.

There is accommodation for about 200 dinner guests. Tickets can be acquired by calling 306-382-6446.

Hajek happy here, but eyes NHL career Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express ibor Hajek still remembers what it was like to arrive in a new world, when he left the Czech Republic to join the Saskatoon Blades.

“I didn’t speak any words in English,” said Hajek. “I just know “hi” and “hello.”

That is all that I did know.

“My billets helped me lots. Teammates helped me lots. If I didn’t understand, I just ask them. They just try to explain it to me somehow with hands. Everyone helped me here lots, so that was great.”

That was way back in his first season with the WHL team at the start of the 2015-16 campaign, when he was still 17 years old. Now, Hajek is a 19-year-old veteran, and his communication difficulties have long passed.

His worries have switched. Now, his focus is to play at his best every night without any drop-offs as one of the Blades’ best defencemen.

“I feel like there is more pressure on me being more a leader and playing every game like real well,” said Hajek, who stands six-foot-two and weighs 210 pounds. “Now it (is) probably my last year here, so I just do my best and help the team how much I can.”

Since Hajek arrived in Saskatoon, his improvement on the ice has been as steady as his ability to master the English language and adjust to a new culture.

Having been selected in the first round and second overall in the 2015 CHL import draft, Hajek was expected to make an impact.

In his 17-year-old rookie season, he appeared in 69 regular-season games, collecting three goals and 23 assists. Due to

L

JW112008 James

his efforts, he was selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round and 37th overall in the 2016 NHL entry draft.

As an 18-year-old last season, Hajek dressed for 65 regular-season games, collecting four goals and 22 assists. Shortly after the season ended on March 21, Hajek signed a three-year NHL entrylevel contract with the Lightning.

“It was amazing,” said Hajek. “My agent called me after the season here last year. It was amazing feeling just being part of an NHL team. A little bit of my dream came true. That was beautiful. I am thankful for that.”

Blades head coach Dean Brockman said it has been impressive to see how far Hajek has come, when you reflect on where the rearguard was at upon arriving in the Bridge City.

“Even going through his first year, just that communication barrier is a big thing and just your whole independence,” said Brockman. “You kind of lose it, because you don’t know how to ask for it.

“I think last year he made a few more strides as far as that went. This year, he is just like one of us. He is talking all the time.

“He has been really, really good in the room. He is just leading more verbally than he ever has.”

Growing up in the Czech Republic in the small centre of Smrcek, Hajek had dreams of playing in the NHL. His favourite players were Czech products and superstar forward Jaromir Jagr and defencemen Tomas Kaberle and Marek Zidlicky.

Hajek felt his best chance to make the NHL was to play in the major junior ranks in Canada.

It didn’t take long for Saskatoon Blades import Libor Hajek to learn English.

(Photo by Darren Steinke) “I knew that right away I would come here, because it is the best hockey almost here,” said Hajek. “In Canada, it is for sure the best hockey ever.

Hajek said he desperately wants to help the Blades return to the playoffs for the first time since 2013. He has enjoyed his years in Saskatoon, and he wasn’t sure what it would feel like to no longer be a member of the Blades one day.

The smooth-skating defenceman gave credit to his first Blades head coach Bob Woods, who took a job in the professional ranks following the 2015-16 campaign, and Brockman for helping him out.

Jigsaws & Rubik's Cube FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!

Fashion store with track record opens on Broadway Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express new face on Broadway’s retail scene is no rookie when it comes to delivering the fashions and brand names customers want.

Caren Scott, her husband Tyler and daughter Nicole launched their Broadway boutique, Nica’s, on Nov. 17, a week before Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

“The shop’s name is derived from my daughter’s name, my name and my son’s name,” explained Scott, who many Saskatoon residents will recognize from her clothing stores in the northern Saskatchewan resort communities of Christopher Lake and Candle Lake.

“We are a family-run business and all of us are hands on with the stores, passionate about offering the latest trends and everyday essentials for our customer.”

All of Scott’s boutiques carry a variety of products, including men’s, women’s and children’s fashions, as well as trendy footwear, jewelry, accessories and various gift wares. Her new Broadway location will be no different.

She says having her business at the lakes has been an awesome experience, because she and her family have enjoyed being able to meet so many people, whether they live at the lakes full time, are only seasonal, or even just come in for a one-time visit. She’s looking forward to more of the same in Saskatoon.

“We are dedicated to offer a style for every occasion and for every age group,” said Scott. “We aim to create a fun, relaxed and comfortable shopping experience, with the goal of every shopper finding quality fashion to complement their style while

empowering people, especially women, to feel confident.”

After a lengthy planning stage, Scott and her crew decided to open a store in Saskatoon on Broadway Avenue to serve her loyal customers that either live in Saskatoon, or in the immediate Saskatoon district, and to meet and build relationships with new ones.

“When we were looking at possible locations in Saskatoon, we were drawn to the Broadway district, which I can only best describe as feeling like you are in a small community, within a big city,” said Scott. “It felt right for who we are, for sure, because we pride ourselves on our sincere customer service, which quite often develops into a treasured friendship.”

Scott, who is always listening to what her customers are looking for, is proud of the great brands she is offering at her new Broadway location: Frank Lyman, Hillberg & Berk, Moose Knuckles, Free People, Helly Hansen, Joe’s Jeans, A G Jeans, Articles of Society, Silver Jeans, Oakley, Z Supply, Brunette the Label, Quay Sunglasses, Emma Knudsen, Status Anxiety, Ben Sherman and tentree.

The store is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

“We have always maintained an active part of the communities that we live in and do business in, and it is our intention to continue that tradition in the City of Saskatoon as well for years to come,” said Scott.

Nica’s Clothing & Accessories is located at 704 Broadway Avenue. You can also find it on Facebook, or at nicasclothing.com.

like I have now grown up,” he told me.

Last year I was privileged to attend a ceremony for a teenage girl who was guided into adulthood. It was one of the most beautiful ceremonies I have attended. I felt proud of this family.

This is something we, as First Nations people, should bring back to our families. In a short period of time our language, songs, ceremonies and dance have made their own way back to The People.

However, they should be focused on youth. There’s much more to being an indigenous person then growing braids and dancing on the powwow trail.

The young First Nations people are the fasting growing population in Canada. They will contribute to education and economy of this country, but some may never feel like they haven’t grown up because they weren’t guided into adulthood.

This is something they will miss as they move on in life. Some, like my friend, may not know this until age 57. But, it’s never too late.

my reserve and for the first time in our history, there are more people under the age of 25 than over it. As I watch my young relatives walk with pride with their high school diplomas and enter into post-secondary I ask the Creator to guide them.

I also know not one of them have been guided, with our sacred ceremonies, into this special place in life.

This is no fault of their own because either their parents or grandparents were more than likely subjected to the residential schools. Indeed, there are families who were led to believe the Roman Catholic communion is entering into adulthood.

However, as adults, we know there’s a lot more than this service that will help take a person on a journey where hope, love, and understanding are more than words.

I realize this year is almost coming to an end. I don’t often ask my Creator for much, but I will respectfully ask that this special ceremony is brought back to the founding nations of this continent. Maybe then I will feel like I have finally grown up.

Lights turned on at BHP Enchanted Forest

here is something new and something renewed for the BHP Enchanted Forest.

It was announced last week that BHP will be the title sponsor of the event for another three years at the very least. The extension will take BHP’s sponsorship through the festival’s 2019-2020 season.

BHP’s continued support was good news for the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation and the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation. The event raises $200,000 annually for the partner foundations.

At a news conference, Dawn Woroniuk, Saskatoon Zoo Foundation executive director, and Steve Shannon, Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation CEO, expressed their gratitudeCarol to Ken Smith, manager, CT112005

community for BHP, for the commitment made by BHP. The new deal brings BHP’s financial contribution to the event to $1 million over 10 years.

The holiday light tour annually attracts more than 70,000 visitors each year. It is estimated that 40 per cent of those attending are from outside Saskatoon.

New this year is The Grinch in Whoville, sponsored by the Saskatchewan Rush lacrosse team. The display lit up late last week. Rick Steffen, who is well known for his work with the Festival of Trees as well as the Enchanted Forest, built the new display.

Meanwhile, a popular features are returning this year.

New ultrasound will help women facing cancer diagnoses Laura is a young mother of two. On Mother’s Day in 2015, she found a lump in one of her breasts. Laura went for an ultrasound and mammogram but both were inconclusive.

She was sent to Saskatoon City Hospital’s Breast Health Centre for a biopsy and learned she had a tumour. A scheduled lumpectomy became a mastectomy because the cancer had spread.

Almost a year later, Laura had a second mastectomy. Following surgery, she developed an infection and contracted e coli. She spent several weeks in the hospital.

Laura is now fully recovered but she wonders if things could have been better. For her and 40% of women who, like her, have denser breasts, an Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) is ideal. That’s why she’s asking you to support the purchase of an ABUS through Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation.

The ABUS can take an image of the entire breast in just three scans. In many cases, it’s better than a mammogram or an MRI because it images tumour tissue better. Radiologists can provide quicker, more accurate diagnoses and start effective treatment plans sooner.

That’s crucial when dealing with cancer.

By supporting the ABUS, you’re not only changing lives, you’re saving lives.

Please give today.

You can donate directly at SCHFdonate.com, by phone at 306-655-8489 (1-800-603-4464), or in person at the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation office, next to the front entrance of the hospital.

Here’s a toast to John Daly

ohn Daly led the champions’ tour with an average driving distance of 297.6 yards and with the most drinks named in his honour. The signature Daly drink is 1.5 ounces of vodka, one part lemonade and one part iced tea. “Add a few ice cubes to a tall glass. Fill halfway with iced tea, the rest with lemonade.

Add the vodka. Stir. Garnish, if desired, with a lemon wedge or orange peel.” After a couple of these, you won’t golf any better, but you will feel good about your game.

• From Torben Rolfsen: “The last time Italy missed the World Cup was 1958. The US: 1986. The last time Canada missed the World Cup was almost every time.”

• From Janice Hough: “Can Charles Manson go ahead and die? The world needs some good news.”

• Why do athletes spit during national anthems?

• From Rolfsen: “One of the KHL’s top teams, Jokerit Helsinki, has reportedly lost 48 million euros over the last four years. Is that more or less than the Carolina Hurricanes?”

• From Hough: “Congrats to Jose Altuve on being AL MVP. Question of the night — is the trophy bigger than he is?”

• Not sure what’s going on in the Winnipeg Jets dressing room that Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On is being played at full volume. Maybe it’s one of those don’t-changeunderwear things during a winning streak.

• From Rolfsen: “World Cup: no USA, Netherlands or Italy, and it’s in Russia. Ratings will be lower than the Gong Show reboot last summer.”

• Hough, on a Crimson Tide fan shooting an Auburn fan during an argument over which team is better:Aaron “I miss days when this would AS112010

have been the most embarrassing story out of Alabama.”

• From the Twitter account of unlikeable Toronto sports talking head Jim Lang: “I really hope no Canadians are chirping Italy over not making the World Cup. We haven’t been since ’86!!!” Chirp, chirp, chirp. And Jim, you really should cut back on your exclamation marks!!!

• Speaking of talking heads, here’s a comment from TSN’s Kara Waglan: “Those Maple Leafs will be without EVERYBODY’S favourite player … Auston Matthews … again tonight.” Kara needs to stop saying such foolish things and to cut back on her CAPS!!!

• From Rolfsen: “Time to send Lonzo Ball to the G-League? As in, ‘Gee, I would never spend that much on a pair of sneakers.’”

• Hough, on Kevin Durant saying there “ain’t no such thing” as loyalty in the NBA: “Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker might disagree.”

• From the Twitter account of the Las Vegas Golden Knights: “PSA: If any visiting teams want to have extra days off in Vegas before playing us, we’re sure we could help line up some hotel and flight deals for ya.”

• Hough, on Hal Steinbrenner saying he would have fired Joe Girardi even if the Yankees had won the World Series: “Even George would have thought that a bit harsh.”

• The CFL really does need to go to a onedivision format. It’s not right that two 12-win teams — Winnipeg and Edmonton — played, while Saskatchewan (10-8) and Ottawa (8-9-1) played. That’s just not right.

• Hough, on France considering legalizing sex with 13 year olds: “In related news, Roy Moore is considering retirement to Paris.”

Views of the World

A bad streak for the Bills

C

By RJ Currie entre Mathieu Perrault said Radko Gudas of the Flyers apologized for his two-handed slash to the back of the Jets player’s neck.

That’s like a guillotine operator saying “Oops.”

• TSN cancelled its long-running show The Reporters. In its place we will get a half hour a week of Auston Matthews minor hockey highlights.

• A naked man ran onto the field during the Saints-Bills game. I’m not saying he used to be a punter, but apparently he had good hang time.

• Word out of UCLA is the three Bruins who shoplifted in China will face severe discipline. Case in point: last night they were only allowed two hours of TV. • Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh went to a school diving-team practice and leapt off a high board fully clothed. He took on water like the Wolverines in my fantasy pool.

• Yulia Ivanova is one of the Russian cross-country skiers banned from future Olympics for doping at Sochi. On the bright side, her Movember moustache is coming along nicely.

• At last count, Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein had 93 women accusing him of sexual harassment or assault. Too bad Lorena Bobbitt wasn’t an actress.

• Game 5 of the World Series lasted five hours and 17 minutes. As opposed to a 10-minute Bill Belichick press conference, which only feels like five hours and 17 minutes.

• Steve Kerr said the fate of the universe rested on the CelticsWarriors game. NBA fans know he was kidding of course — the world maybe, but not the universe.

• Cam Newton, on the Panthers dealing receiver Kelvin Benjamin: “The Titanic still has to go on.” Sounds like Newton kept going on — right past his history classes at Auburn.

• The IOC is reportedly considering pole-dancing and foosball for future Olympics. You have a good chance of being a host city if you already have a 20,000-seat pub.

• Cleveland’s recent NFL game in London meant one less appearance at home. “Seven too few,” said Browns fans.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week My wife thinks I’m watching too much Animal Planet. Her birthday card from me said, “I caribou ewe, like I otter.”
