Karen Gaudry

Saskatoon’s Karen Gaudry will compete for a world title in China in November.

(Joi Photography)

takes global stage as Mrs. Native America

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express aren Gaudry was shy as a child growing up in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta.

Gaudry had dreams and goals, but she was living in the isolation of a hamlet — 220 kilometres north of Fort McMurray — where dreams seldom came true.

One of Gaudry’s did when she was named Mrs. Native America Globe 2018. She won the title in June in Palm Springs, Calif., and will compete in China for the world title in November.

Gaudry, who has lived in Saskatoon for eight years, said it is her daughter, Kayde, who inspires her.

“I wanted to be a positive role model and someone she could look up to,” she said. “I decided to enter my first pageant back in 2015.”

And she won.

Taking a step back in time, Gaudry first appeared on a stage when she entered Kayde in a beauty pageant for babies and children. Like daughter like mother, as it turned out.

“When she was a baby I had to go up on stage with her so I had to fight my fear. Over time, I started to become comfortable being on that stage.”

Kayde turned six last week. Her mom is 34.

A friend convinced Gaudry she should compete in the 2017 Mrs. Globe Canada pageant. She won the people’s choice award at that one. In the same year she was the first runner-up at the Mrs. Native America Globe competition in Las Vegas. She was invited back and won the title earlier this year.

“It’s pretty exciting and I’m very honoured to represent Native Americans. I want to show that we can do it; that we can achieve our goals.

“I want to share my story; how I grew up with such low selfesteem. I want to show you can do it, to believe in yourself and don’t hold back.”

There is a charitable component to the Mrs. Globe organization.

Funds are raised for Women in Need in more than 70 countries. It’s near and dear to Gaudry’s heart.

“It is important to me because I was in an abusive relationship as well, so I know what it is like and how hard it is to leave.”

agement positions, none of which I enjoyed or was particularly good at. I’ve told you that before.

I started writing a column in the Sun for Ned. He basically gave me half a page every week and said, “fill it.” Now, we give him a page and say, “fill it.” And he does it beautifully week after week.

One of the greatest compliments I have ever had is the day Ned said, “You know, you’re a pretty good writer.” That’s like Gordie Howe telling someone he’s a pretty good hockey player.

Our Joanne Paulson launched her career in Ned’s department. He hated to see her go, but saw that she was destined for big things. Along the way, Joanne was the business editor and entertainment editor at the SP, and the editor of the Western Producer.

Ned was right about her.

Ned’s passion for writing and the pride he takes in telling a story is a great example for the rest of us.

Ned will have to get an unlimited long distance plan. We talk every day; sometimes about stories he is writing or plans to write. Sometimes it’s about the Washington Nationals. Even with his team out of the running for a playoff berth, Ned follows them faithfully.

He is an Edmonton Oilers and Minnesota Vikings fan. As a kid, his team was the Toronto Maple Leafs. He once got a Montreal Canadiens jersey for Christmas. A lump of coal would have been better.

Ned is a great friend. I wish him well and will miss seeing him every Friday morning.

He is beginning another chapter in his life. Hopefully it will be the best one he’s ever written.

Meanwhile, Rampton is busy taking smart technology to the next level. Armed with a bachelor’s degree in engineering physics, he joined with two fellow U of S grads to found the software company Liv just over a year ago.

Their goal is “smart homes made simple.” They developed an app that helps users find smart devices that best suit their needs and that will work together. The app then enables everything to be controlled from one central point — eliminating the need for multiple passwords.

The next step is what they call adaptive automation, Leejay Schmidt (left) and Tyler Rampton are two of the three co-founders of Liv. (Photos by Kathy Fitzpatrick) through machine learning.

“What we’re trying to do is interconnect all of these different technology features, apps, into a centralized location that can learn from you and then be more personal to you, so it’s easier to use,” Rampton explained. “Because technology nowadays is becoming inherently difficult to use, there’s hundreds of apps, different devices.

(If I that time families have already arranged for would have had the opportunity to enrol my local child care or their children were at an kids in Spanish or Mandarin classes, I would age where enrolling in French immersion have bypassed the French programs.)

ELAINE HNATYSHYN

It was a fair argument from parents that because Canada is a bilingual country their kids were entitled to have access to core French study — especially if many of those students had already been taking core French in the preceding school years.

These same parents would have been familiar with the government-approved curriculum and would have known the content of the course material. Tossing out that program and replacing it with a course of study that they know nothing about (and apparently not ministry approved) would be unsettling.

The reason for this action is that the school had a teacher knowledgeable in Indigenous history/culture/language and the school seized the opportunity to create a truth and reconciliation path with the First Nations community.

It is greatly advantageous for everyone to know a second language.

In Saskatchewan, according to the last posted Statistics Canada Census (2016), 15,060 people identify their mother tongue — that being the first language learned as a child and still understood — as French.

However, French is an official language for Canada and any knowledge of French is beneficial across the nation and, to some degree, internationally.

On the other hand, 19,020 identify their mother tongue as Cree and although the Cree language represents a larger number of Saskatchewan residents, it is only one of many Indigenous dialects and may not be as TA0s92415 Tammy

beneficial on a national or global stage.

Given the country’s bilingual status and the demographic profile of Saskatchewan, it would seem reasonable to offer classes in both languages, wherever possible, and let parents decide what would most benefit their children.

If the goal of this exercise is to begin the instructional process to educate our society on the history of Indigenous people, it would be more appropriate to have the Ministry of Education develop a curriculum and mandate a standardized program across the province.

Saskatchewan is a collective of ethnicities and we cannot offer each group public education programs to support their ethnicity or race. Families retain their culture practices and keep their ethnic languages alive by teaching their kids at home, and as a community we celebrate our cultural differences and embrace our commonality.

If publicly-funded systems continue to ignore the concerns of parents, then we should expect to see the expansion of private/ associate schools and a declining enrolment in our public schools. This would truly be a sad situation, as public systems are great levellers for our diverse multicultural and multi-racial population.

The great thing about little kids is, if left to their own devices, they are colour blind and don’t exercise discrimination based on religion or economic circumstance. We could all learn something from these wise little owls. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Victoria Avenue to have new look

V

ictoria Avenue rehabilitation is substantially complete, making it ready for the opening of the new Traffic Bridge on Oct. 3. Some small finishing touches are ongoing, but they should be wrapped up in the next couple of weeks.

“The improvements we’ve made are going to benefit people driving, walking, and biking as well as area residents,” said David LeBoutillier, acting engineering manager with the City’s transportation division. “We’ve also improved the aesthetics to make the corridor a more pleasing place to travel and live.”

The reconstructed corridor provides an important link to the Traffic Bridge and the downtown and is intended to enable all types of traffic to travel this route safely and comfortably.

The improvements include: • Reconfigured street alignment to bring Victoria Avenue in line with the city’s current street guidelines.

• Median restoration to address deterioration and increase street appeal.

• Installation of new concrete sidewalks.

• Installation of a raised, asphalt cycle track to create a separate, distinctive and safe space for people on bikes.

• New signage and pavement markings

to help clarify how traffic will move.

“We considered several different options for the new cycling infrastructure to address the neighbourhood’s concern about traffic speeds and volumes as well as pedestrian and cycling safety,” said LeBoutillier. “In the end, we went with a raised cycle track because it offered the best function while maintaining the neighbourhood’s character.”

Once the Traffic Bridge reopens, the city is expecting to see traffic volumes along Victoria Avenue much the same as prior to the bridge closure: approximately 7,000 vehicles per day.

However, users of this route will note differences including the new infrastructure and more people walking and biking.

The city is asking all road users to exercise extra care in this area while people adjust to the changed travel patterns.

Following are tips on how to share the space: • People riding bikes can choose to ride on the raised cycle track or in the traffic lane. In both instances, they should travel in the same direction as traffic.

• Cyclists have the right-of-way, but should slow down and use caution when approaching intersections.

In an interview with World Class Beauty Queens Magazine, Gaudry said the thing that makes her stand out is her inner beauty. “I love to show my personality on stage. To me being a beauty queen is more than just outer beauty. It’s about wanting to help and make a difference in the world; inspiring young girls to do the same.”

HOW DO YOU REALLY MEET SOMEONE?

Dear Lianne, I have a simple question for you that I imagine might have a complicated answer.

I’m told I’m a nice looking guy. I have a good job, but tired of being alone. I am so done with the online games. I’ve been fooled, manipulated, played and the last one was trying to get money from me. Each time I have a disappointment I say I will never go back online again and then I get a tempting profile and I’m back to

where I started from. The bottom line is, I’m still single and want off this ridiculous online dating roller coaster.

What do you suggest?– Glen Dear Glen, The scenario you have described is one I hear all too often. While I’m certain there are many wonderful people who look for love online there are far too many who have ulterior motives.

Working with a good, professional matchmaker is not only affordable, but it is a cut to the chase approach. Your time

and heart are both precious and valuable and ought not be wasted. A matchmaker with a longstanding track record will be able to assess your personality, needs and wants and present hand picked, prescreened individuals who you will likely have relationship potential with. People utilizing the help of a matchmaker are serious about finding love and have met the requirements to use the service. When choosing a matchmaker, establish how long the service has been operating. Check their ratings

with The Better Business Bureau.

Clearly understand the screening process that is used. Ensure criminal record checks are done and understand the process that is used for matching.

You must be interviewed in person by the matchmaker. A good matchmaker will expect that clients are treated with dignity and respect rather than bad habits that are formed online. Be patient and open and have trust and faith in your matchmaker.

Nuit Blanche makes art accessible in public spaces

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express uit Blanche Saskatoon is celebrating its fifth birthday.

The annual free, all-ages nighttime arts festival, which is now in its fifth year, is scheduled for Sept. 29 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. The eclectic celebration of art and culture will bring contemporary art into public spaces, highlighting 21 projects in the city’s Broadway, downtown and River Landing areas.

The event encourages people to explore areas of the city they may not regularly traverse during their day-to-day lives and to see Saskatoon in a new light, bringing art into locations such as alleyways.

“We’re working again with local businesses and organizations to host projects in public spaces,” said organizer Michael Peterson. “As always, there’s a continued focus on accessibility, bringing art to public space to break down some of the barriers for people to see, and experience, contemporary art and local art.”

Chris Morin is one of the local artists whose work, titled Never Gonna GIF You Up, will be showcased at Nuit Blanche Saskatoon. Located in the alley behind Brainsport, at 616 10th St. East, the interactive photo booth project will consist of 50 short GIFs projected onto a blank concrete wall, looped in intervals of 30 seconds each.

Morin, who previously lived in Montreal, said Nuit Blanche was the “party of the year” in that city, noting the community “came alive from dusk until dawn, and every spectacle was an impressive display of light, sound and whimsy.” He’s now excited to take on the role of a featured artist at Saskatoon’s festival.

“When I moved back to Saskatoon, I jumped at the chance to become a founding board member of Nuit Blanche, helping to launch this festival in Riversdale,” said Morin.

“Several years later, I’m super excited to take on the role of a featured artist — circle complete? Events such as Nuit Blanche help make art installations more accessible to the public, and literally put the artists in the streets to mingle alongside the spectacle. And every year there’s a palpable excitement in the air that’s equal parts curiosity and jubilance – how cool is that?”

A wide variety of other projects and performers will be showcased during Nuit Blanche, including the Indigenous Poets Society, a collective of Plains Cree poets based on Treaty Six Territory in Saskatoon. The group’s members include KevinJames Wesaquate, Shawn Joseph, Janelle PewapisJW092407

conias and Lindsay Knight, and the collective is set to perform at the River Landing ampitheatre.

Remai Modern is also participating in Nuit Blanche.

The modern art museum is hosting Rosa Barba’s first major solo museum project in Canada, featuring a selection of her recent work and a newly commissioned filmic sculpture.

The latest iteration of Barba’s White Museum project will be showcased as part of Nuit Blanche Saskatoon, when a frame of bright light will be projected onto the South Saskatchewan River using a 70-mm projector with blank film.

Other Nuit Blanche highlights include Luster, which will be presented by Sask-Acro at the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market, a participatory Tai-Chi performance at the River Landing pump house from the Heritage Wellness Society and many other projects.

Peterson anticipates about 10,000 people will attend Nuit Blanche Saskatoon this year. He said the event puts an emphasis on local artists, often helping them to further develop their skills at younger stages of their careers.

“I think it’s important in a lot of ways to have festivals like this, because it gives a venue for artists in Saskatoon – especially those that are doing sort of experimental or interactive or digital works – a space to show them,” he said.

“We have galleries and we have different opportunities, but the scale of the festival is something else, both in terms of the number of attendees and the number of projects. I mean, when we’re talking about 21 different projects, that’s not an insignificant number.”

For more information about Nuit Blanche Saskatoon, including an event map and descriptions of the artists and their projects, go online to nuitblanchesaskatoon.ca.

Show ‘funniest thing about depression and suicide that you’ll ever see’

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express local theatre company is shining a light on depression, suicide and mental health challenges with its latest production.

Burnt Thicket Theatre is producing Every Brilliant Thing, written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe. The onewoman play is the first show of Live Five Independent Theatre’s 15th season and stars Saskatoon theatre artist Jenna-Lee Hyde, whose work has been recognized with two SATAwards for Achievement in Performance.

“At its root, Every Brilliant Thing is the story of a child navigating a parent’s struggle with depression, and attempting to save them by creating a list of everything brilliant about the world. It is a thoughtful, bittersweet and truly hilarious play about life, mental health, family and love,” said Hyde.

“There are definitely sad moments – and, yes, we talk about depression and suicide – but it’s also such a fun, immersive piece of theatre with lots of comedy, too.”

Hyde plays the grown-up version of the child who comes up with the list. She notes the playwright didn’t give the character a name; rather, she is simply referred to as “narrator.”

“So, in many respects, the character I play feels very much like myself,” said Hyde.

“This play is a good example of why I love theatre. Live theatre is an immediate community builder, and good theatre has the ability to change people; it creates empathy, and it can empower people who haven’t felt seen or represented before,” she added.

“Duncan Macmillan, the playwright, has this great line in the show: ‘If you’ve lived a long life, and get to the end of it without ever once having felt crushingly depressed, then you probably haven’t been paying attention.’ I love that line. I’m hoping that whatever people are going through in their world – maybe it’s a great time

A

for them, or maybe they’re having a really hard time – that they’ll know this show is for them.”

Burnt Thicket Theatre started in Calgary in 2007, and “has always been eager to tackle challenging subjects that we feel are important, if hard, to talk about,” said artistic associate Tim Bratton. After 10 years in Calgary, Burnt Thicket relocated to Saskatoon under the new artistic direction of Stephen Waldschmidt. Waldschmidt is directing Every Brilliant Thing, while Bratton is focusing on sound design and music direction.

Both Bratton and Waldschmidt are taking care of scenic design for the show, which is Burnt Thicket Theatre’s first full production since its move to Saskatoon.

The creative team also includes Charlie Peters as the lighting designer and Alana Freistadt as the stage manager.

“Every Brilliant Thing is the funniest play about depression and suicide that you’ll ever see, sharing the story of how one person responds to their mother’s suicide attempts by making a list of every brilliant thing about the world – everything worth living for. It is both incredibly funny and wonderfully poignant, tackling something that can be very hard to talk about with humour and sensitivity,” said Bratton.

“Burnt Thicket Theatre has the lofty goal of telling stories that change people’s lives. Good theatre has a way of helping people to see the world in new ways, and we really think that Every Brilliant Thing can change the way people think about depression and other mental health struggles, removing much of the stigma. One in four Canadians has a degree of depression serious enough to need treatment at some time in his or her life, so chances are that even if you don’t struggle with depression yourself, you know someone who does.”

Every Brilliant Thing runs from Oct. 4 – 14 at The Refinery Arts & Spirit Centre, located at 609 Dufferin Ave. For more information or to purchase tickets, go online to livefive.ca.

Animal Health Week 2018 B

City offers support for pet owners

eing a responsible pet owner is not an easy job.

It takes work, commitment and a lot of time to licence, vaccinate and exercise your pet responsibly, to make sure they are trained and socialized, to make sure you understand the rules and have respect for your neighbours, and help control the pet population.

But the good news for responsible pet owners in Saskatoon is that they have lots of support.

“Our programs and partnerships help make sure pet owners and non-pet owners feel safe and welcome and that we have open spaces that can be enjoyed by everyone,” says Brad Babyak, section manager of the city’s Open Space Programming and Development, which includes Animal Services.

Babyak notes that Saskatoon aims to become the most pet-friendly city in Western Canada and the foundation that underpins and helps fund the City’s Animal Services activities is the Pet Licence Program.

All domestic dogs and cats over four months old require a pet licence in Saskatoon. In 2017, there were just over 24,200 pet licences sold and 2018 is on track for similar numbers. Cost of the licences range from $28-$56 for dogs and $16.50-$33 for cats, depending on the age of the animal and whether or not it has been spayed or neutered.

Babyak says the city is always looking

for ways to make the licencing process easier and pet owners can now get licenses in person at City Hall, online at the city’s website (saskatoon.ca/petlicense) or from over two dozen organizations, businesses and vet clinics listed on the website.

“There are personal benefits to pet owners for licensing, fees benefit the community at large and investing in a license can save potential costs in the future,” adds Babyak.

The benefits of licensing include pet identification and registration within the Animal Control Agency, access to dog parks and fun city events like the annual Dog Day of Summer just before the Mayfair pool closes for the season, direct return home for pets found at large or safe shelter for your pet until you can retrieve them, and the PAL (Pet at Large) perk.

“The PAL perk is like a get out of jail free card,” explains Babyak. “Things happen.

Kids leave the gate open, the latch is loose.

We get it. One time over the life of your pet, this perk can be used and you, as the pet owner, don’t need to cover the fine.”

In Saskatoon there are 10 off-leash dog parks ranging in size from small one-acre neighbourhood parks to 40-acre mega parks like the one at Sutherland Beach. In these parks, dogs are able to run and play off leash, providing they are under the control of their owners. The owners also get a chance to socialize with their neighbours and other pet owners in the community.

“Each of these parks is a totally different experience. There’s something for everybody,” says Babyak.

This year, one park that has added another 2.6 acres to the west is the busy Avalon dog park.

“We’re getting the grass area established now and plan to open the expansion in June 2019,” says Babyak.

The city also partners with a number of local agencies like the SPCA, a variety of local vet clinics and the Saskatoon Health Authority on significant programs. One example of this is the Good Dogs Bite Too educational program which is delivered in co-operation with the Saskatoon Health Authority and works to raise awareness of dog bites, how they are caused and what owners can do to prevent them.

Another partner program that has received tremendous response is the subsidized spay and neuter program (SSNP), which provides financial help to low-income families who might not otherwise be able to afford to have their pets.

“Through SSNP, we partner with some of the veterinary clinics in Saskatoon to provide spay and neuter services at a subsidized rate,” Babyak explains. “Right now, we reached the capacity for 2018, so we’re not accepting any new applications, but we will be re-opening the program again on January 1, 2019.”

For more information on this or other programs supporting responsible pet ownership, visit the city’s website at saskatoon.ca/ animalservices.

Licensing provides peace of mind If your pet ever escapes, a valid pet license provides: • Identification • Safe shelter • Direct return home

What your license pays for • Bylaw enforcement • Pound services • Subsidized Spay and Neuter Program (SSNP) • Dog park programming and development • City-wide pet events

It is imperative to have your pet vaccinated

V

accinations save lives.

That’s the message the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) is driving home during Animal Health Week.

“To me, the biggest benefit of vaccines is that they protect everyone,” says Dr. Terri Chotowetz, a Saskatoon veterinarian who is currently serving as president of the CVMA. “We have diseases around today that go from animal to animal, and also some that go from animals to humans.

With vaccines, we can protect animals, protect our food source, our companion pets and people.”

Rabies is an example of a disease that can affect both animals and people.

Chotowetz said rabies still kills approximately 59,000 people around the world every year, most in countries where vaccination is not widespread.

“Wildlife carry rabies and if we can vaccinate our dogs and cats, we eliminate a huge risk to the human population,” said Chotowetz, noting September 28 is World Rabies Day. She warns pet owners to resist complacency when it comes to vaccines.

“It’s easy to get a false sense of security that diseases like rabies are no longer around but that’s because we control the diseases by vaccinations. We haven’t eradicated them,” she said.

Generally, Chotowetz said, vaccination protocols will consist of core and potentially non-core vaccines. Examples of a few core vaccines are those that cover

TA092427 Tammy

rabies, distemper in dogs and cats, canine parvo virus, West Nile virus and western equine encephalomyelitis in horses, and deadly respiratory and clostridial diseases in cattle.

Other vaccines that might be included depending on risk factors could include influenza in most species but especially horses, or kennel cough for a dog that may be boarded, or Lyme disease, if you are travelling to an area where that is common.

“Vaccinations are not a one-size fits all thing. The key is to talk to your vet,” she said.

Chotowetz recommends annual checkups for pets where owners can discuss lifestyle, the general health of their pets, changes they may have noticed in behaviour, eating or sleeping patterns and any plans you might have for travel.

“Then what we can do is tailor the vaccinations specifically for your pet,” she said.

Chotowetz added that vaccinations as part of a program of veterinary care prevents heartache and can save pet owners money in the long run.

“For something like parvo virus, treatment is expensive and can take days.

Sometimes they recover but sometimes they don’t … There’s nothing worse than watching your pet die of something you could have prevented,” she said.

Still, Chotowetz recognizes people may worry about possible side effects from vaccines.

Pat Thomson (Continued from page 18) When we ran it five years ago, we weren’t sure at the beginning if it would be and seniors really picked up on it.”

She said this is a good year to attend.

“The Idols have all been great throughout the years and this year is the best of the best competing against each other.”

The eight finalists had a chance to size each other up at a recent reception at Crossmount.

“They are all excited to come back this year. It really promotes positive aging when you see performers coming out like that; it’s just awesome.”

Those in the competition are Mary Ellen Buckwold, Maggie Burke, Roy Hargreaves, Lila Henderson, Jean & Doreen, The Paddlewheelers, Pat Thomson and John Wilby.

Gawdun said with Zoomer Idol not quite hitting its financial target last year, SCOA has added an event called the Cherry Bop Hop. It will be held March 21 at the Western Development Museum.

“After these two events are over we are going to have just one fundraiser. We’re finding it is quite a lot of work to do two.

(The Cherry Bop Hop) may evolve into something bigger or Zoomer Idol may change a bit too.”

Cherry Bop Hop is a dinner and dance, with ’60’s and ’70’s music played by a live band. Gawdun said the menu is likely to reflect the era. It is a dance for everyone, not just older adults.

Tickets for Zoomer Idol are $100.

Included are a reception, dinner and the competition. Tickets for the Cherry Bop Hop are $65. Tickets for both events are available at www.scoa or by calling 306652-2255.

Coming up before Zoomer Idol is the annual Spotlight on Seniors event. Billed as the largest tradeshow for seniors in the province, it will be held Oct. 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at TCU Place.

There will be approximately 80 booths set up at the event. These include nonprofits and busineses that cater to older adults.

Virtual tours at

“It is mainly an awareness event for SCOA, but it is also a fundraiser because we do partner with TCU Place.”

There is an admission charge of $10. It can be paid at the door. There is a nominal TA092404 Tammy charge for lunch.

ANNIVERSARY!

Don’t Let a Case of Nerves Keep You from Getting Fit

Does this sound familiar?

You’d like to join a gym, but you don’t think you’re fit enough yet.

You’re worried that everyone else there is already in great shape and a lot younger than you. You don’t want to feel uncomfortable or intimidated.

Well, the good news is: You’re not alone.

Lots of people feel that way, no matter what age. Gym owners and trainers hear this all the time.

And the better news is: There’s nothing to worry about. We are here to help. And you are more likely to find friendly encouragement from others at a gym than any judgment.

Consider Bill Hendricks. You’d never guess it by just looking at him, but Bill was nervous the first time he joined a gym just six years ago.

“I had every negative feeling you could imagine,” recalls the former Marine who, at 68, is lean and muscular. “All the machines looked like a forest of many great beasts who wanted to chew me up. I thought, ‘I’m gonna look like an idiot. Everybody’s gonna laugh at me.’ ” But Bill stuck with it and soon found a welcoming community and a healthy routine that he wouldn’t abandon now for anything.

He works out six days a week, but that isn’t necessary for anyone – he just loves it. Bill encourages everyone who’s nervous about joining a gym to pursue their own personal fitness goals, whatever those intentions might be.

We are here to enforce Bill’s message.

Come on in, talk it through, and let us make you feel at home.

Why You Need Exercise You already know some of the great rasons why people over 50, 60, 70 or older should work out. Here are just a few of them as reminders.

• Physical exercise is good for your heart health, balance and bone density.

• It fights off dementia and Alzheimer’s.

• It gets you out of the house and socializing with a supportive community.

• Being strong, toned and limber is helpful for golf, tennis, gardening and other physical hobbies.

• It helps you lose weight, look better – and perform everyday tasks with less risk of injury.

We offer supportive staff and trainers who will give you a safe, helpful introduction to weight training and other forms of exercises.

We will listen to your special health and diet needs, help you determine some appropriate goals, and do everything to give you the environment you need to succeed. Plus, we can take you through every step of a new healthy lifestyle, if you like – or just stand by for when you need us.

If you’re considering a new fitness experience, look for a place that’s right for you, and the time of day that works. Ask about discounts, group classes, equipment and trainers that are specifically geared toward your age group. Many Baby Boomers and other retirees enjoy working out during the day, when gyms tend to be less crowded.

Others might thrive on a bustling scene.

A Safe Place to Start But everyone will quickly learn that no one’s going to make fun or judge. Most gyms are full of all kinds of bodies – young and old, fit and fat, and everything in between, with all kinds of fitness goals.

We all started somewhere. The important thing is that you’re doing something good for yourself and your loved ones.

And, please: You have lived too much of life to let schoolhouse nerves keep you on the sidelines.

Take it from Bill.

“I just didn’t give up. I swallowed my pride,” he says.

“As time goes by, you can’t help but become more comfortable and familiar with your surroundings. If somebody looks at you, give them a smile and wave. People realize you’re just somebody who’s doing their thing. That’s when it gets really good.”

event of a divorce?

In Saskatchewan an inheritance received by your child during their marriage becomes “family property” that is subject to division between your child and his or her spouse in the event of a divorce. This is true even if it is received after separation but before a court proceeding is started. This is the case even if your Will specifies that only your child is to receive the inheritance. How your child will have to share their inheritance with their spouse will depend on the circumstances and the discretion of a judge.

Good question. The first thing you should do is talk with your family about the subject.

We (Cherished Memories) visit hundreds of homes every year and many people tell us they’ve never taken even 10 or 20 minutes to sit down with each other and discuss what they’d want if something happened to one or both of them.

The next step would be to make an appointment with the funeral director to record your wishes. He or she will gather some important statistical information for a death certificate, and help you select the type of service you want.

Dog Grooming

Lorna Phillips owns It’s a Dog’s Life Pet Spa, located 6-1025 Boychuk Drive. Her salon is going into its 18th year of business, Lorna has been grooming in Saskatoon for the past 28 years. Lorna and her staff go out of their way to learn new techniques in grooming and products to bring the best quality possible for your pets care.

Pet Grooming is an important factor when owning an animal. It is a common misconception that having your pet groomed is only about the haircut. A quality groomer can detect lumps and bumps, skin conditions, eyes, ears, teeth and general soreness in the pets’ body that might go undetected at home. We can alert owners of these concerns so they can seek vet attention if necessary.

Exhibition showcases life in China through Canadian photographers

A

new exhibition opening at the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery this week will offer a glimpse of China as seen through the lenses of Canadian photographers.

China Through Canadian Eyes, which runs at the gallery on the University of Saskatchewan campus, features photographs taken in 1971 as part of a groundbreaking visit to China by a Canadian delegation.

In early 1971, just 13 weeks after Canada formally recognized the People’s Republic of China, an academic from the University of British Columbia was working to arrange a delegation of Canadian professionals and educators to visit China to promote cultural exchange and understanding.

A month before the delegation’s scheduled departure, the Chinese government notified organizers that the exchange would not be approved unless a “peasant” was added to the delegation to represent the Canadian agricultural sector.

Evelyn Potter, a Saskatchewan farmer and then women’s president of the National Farmers Union, agreed to attend, taking more than 1,200 photographs of life in China during her month-long visit.

Organized and hosted by the Confucius Institute at the University of Saskatchewan, China Through Canadian Eyes also features scenes of daily life in China today taken by the educators and students sponsored by the Confucius Institute.

The exhibition goes until Oct. 5.

Matt Nichols is less popular than . . .?

atti Dawn Swansson of River City Renegade, on Blue Bombers struggling quarterback Matt Nichols: “He couldn’t be less popular if he made rabbit stew out of the Easter Bunny.”

• Troy Aikman pays attention to this Twitter account. A guy tweeted that Ryan Fitzpatrick has 16 more passing touchdowns in his career than Aikman. And Fitzy has done it in 44 fewer games. Aikman’s reply: “Who cares?”

• Janice Hough, on the Browns winning for the first time in 635 days: “That’s so long ago we still had a president.”

• From the fake Jon Gruden account on Twitter. “Wow. The Browns finally winning a football game is like the ice cream working at McDonald’s. It doesn’t happen very often, but when it does it’s a special treat, man. Get me a McFlurry.”

• Bill Littlejohn, on Josh Gordon going to his latest rehab stint at the University of Florida: “The University of Florida? Isn’t

• Why don’t more CFL kickers get a shot at the NFL? Our guys, collectively, are better than theirs.

• From broadcaster @Jackie_Redmond: “The Sens and Habs traded their captains.

The Isles lost their captain to free agency.

The Red Wings lost their captain to retirement. Has there ever been a summer with this many captains on the move?” I am going to take a stab at it and say no.

• The men of talk radio got all in a flap last week trying to figure out if Henrik Zetterberg is a Hall of Famer. The answer is yes.

• Hough, on Sports Illustrated having a special issue dedicated to the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry: “Well, it’s about time those two teams get some attention.”

• I can’t resist. One more from the fake Gruden Twitter account: “I’ll tell ya what.

Watching Patrick Mahomes throw the

football is like music to my ears, man. He reminds me of that one West Virginia song.

Take Mahomes country road.”

• Hough, on a Maine restaurant putting lobsters in a box full of marijuana smoke before boiling so they at least die happier: “Which might explain if diners get an afterdinner craving for Doritos.”

• From Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette: “National Post headline calls Jian Ghomeshi a fallen star. May we suggest that disgraced, abusive creep might be better wording.”

• Here’s a fact I found interesting. Those who worked as assistant coaches for Bill Belichick are 156-227 as head coaches.

• From Hough: “For all those who claimed Bill Clinton ruined cigars for them, this week Donald Trump ruined Mario Kart.”

• Why has Trump been so silent on anatomy-gate? Just drop your pants, Don, and make this all go away.

• From the Twitter account of Arlene Dickinson: “Here’s my definition of a female entrepreneur. Stand back everyone.

Entrepreneur.”

• Sucker punches will go up after Max Domi was suspended for the remainder of the preseason. That’s not punishment; that’s winning a lottery. Domi should have been suspended for two or three regular-season games. And made to take an IQ test.

• From Hough: “Hurricane Florence reportedly washed bundles of hundreds of pounds of marijuana up on Florida beaches.

Talk about a high tide.”

• Torben Rolfsen, on the World Anti-Doping Agency declaring Russia’s scandal-ridden, drug-enabling operation back in business: “Russian officials said they were happy that is over with so they can focus on U.S. mid-term elections.”

• From Rolfsen: “Tough time for the fashionistas on the Emmys red carpet that had to follow Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Johnny football over-inflated

By RJ Currie ohnny Manziel got the start at QB for the Als against the Bombers after missing three games. He’s been on the sidelines dealing with a blow to his head and a bruise to his ego.

• I for one have staunchly defended the Winnipeg Jets new alternate jersey. When people say it isn’t even good enough for a beer league, I say it is.

• Reds slugger Joey Votto reportedly has only seven pop flys in close to 5,400 at-bats.

Seven. People have popped out more often in just one Victoria’s Secret fashion show.

• The Buffalo Jills ongoing lawsuit AS092411 Aaron against the Bills and NFL includes a demand

for cheerleaders to earn at least minimum wage. Only seems fair since they have to wear minimum clothing.

• Winnipeg Jets sniper Patrik Laine mercifully shaved off the worst beard in hockey.

It wasn’t all bad: he is the namesake in Manitoba for two out of every three newborn goats.

• Fans booed struggling Winnipeg QB Matt Nichols — when he was on the Jumbotron in a PSA against drunk driving. Lately, it’s hard to believe Nichols knows anything about a drive.

• Why did TSN show so much of Conor McGregor’s latest pre-fight blathering. If I wanted to see swaggering Irish guys spout-

ing off over a glass of whiskey, I’d go to my family reunions.

• The Browns topped the Jets 21-17, ending a 19-game winless streak. For ages they’ve been like a guy in a long-term relationship with a dominatrix — finding new ways to get beat.

• Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto claims his retirement plan is to drive a school bus. Chances are he’ll be more famous doing that than playing for the Reds.

• Hear about the MLB manager who went against all the sabermetrics analysts and dealt to get a southpaw? He said a pitcher is worth a thousand nerds.

• A difficult question on my final univer-

sity English exam was to define a diphthong.

I wrote it’s something skimpy to swim in.

• True: Brit Jamie Buckland broke a Guinness World Record for fastest marathon by a man dressed as a French maid. Not only that, he dusted the competition.

• People have been too hard on TSN’s Rod Black for calling the Labour Day clash of the sub-500 Argos and Tiger-Cats a “heavyweight tilt.” Be nice. At least he knew who was playing.

RJ’s Punalty Box One of my local sportscasts blurred part of N.Y. Jets RB Isaiah Crowell’s TD celebration where he wiped his butt with the football. That’s right: it was a back-crack block.
