is what grandparents are called. Our sons called my dad grandpa and Sandy’s dad grampy — spell check wanted to change it to grumpy. My mom was grandma, which became grams. Sandy’s mom was nanny. When asked what I would like to be called I said Cam. I have a feeling that one isn’t going to fly. Alli’s parents, Brenda and Dave, can have first dibs on the names. Ken Noskye suggested I be called Moosume, which means grandfather in Cree. I like the idea, as long as the word means what he said. Ken has been known to pull a fast one or two on me. A name doesn’t matter though. What matters is we have a beautiful and healthy granddaughter, and a new mom who is feeling well after a long labour. The prize at the end is worth it, I’m sure. Speaking for all members of the Hutchinson and Jennings clans, we love Alli and Ryan so much. And we will love Parker Louise Hutchinson forever and ever.

it might be added to this proposed facility. Not to be outdone, Coun. Cynthia Block quipped, “And who knows, if we plan well, we might even get a grocery store.” I hope she wasn’t thinking that the city should get into the grocery business! All of this might be had for $375 million, plus the cost of a new library with a price tag of about $100 million, plus the unknown cost of surface and underground infrastructure, plus the unknown cost of land acquisition (Second Avenue seems to have a lot of vacant space) and, of course, the cost of consultants, reports and so on. In keeping with past performance, council always looks to what other cities have done, in this case Edmonton. Alas, Edmonton has a metropolitan area population of 1.3 million, with about 933,000 actually living within Edmonton’s boundaries from which the tax base is formed. Saskatoon has an estimated metropolitan area population of 323,809 and an estimated 271,000 living within our city boundaries. Mayor Clark threw a wrench into the dream works by saying, “There are many unanswered questions. One of the biggest is how we’re going to pay for this.” (I am sorry, but this reminds me of a Far Side cartoon that depicts God looking down at all the animals he created and saying, “Now I have to make something to eat all these guys.”) Clark stressed that the city would need a partner to proceed, but if he is thinking of it as a P3 project, forget it. Private investors don’t usually throw money at projects that won’t pay for themselves, much less turn a profit. Aside from pondering these weighty

decisions, council always suffers angst about how much our taxes should increase and, except for an election year, seem to get stuck at the four to five per cent mark. Imagine how much more it would cost taxpayers in both capital spending and wages if our councillors did this job as a full-time gig. Effective 2019, we will pay city councillors $66,770 for their part-time jobs, with a raise coming in 2020. (The only true compensation comparison is Regina, where part-time councillors earn about $20,000 less.) Our mayor will earn $145,152. Added to the package is a $10,000 communications allowance for each councillor and $100,000 for the mayor, so they can promote themselves on bus benches and billboards or buy trinkets with their names on it to distribute to voters. And let’s not forget the travel allowance, mileage claims and other perks. Yup, this crew costs taxpayers well over a million bucks a year just so they can hire consultants to help them decide how to spend hundreds of millions of dollars from the tax purse. Now, compare that with your earnings from a full-time job, or those who fall into the “average” income category of $40,000 per annum. However, council doesn’t worry too much about any of this because they know voters will forget everything by time the next election rolls around and they implore the public to re-elect them so they can continue to do their spendthrift work. I’m not prone to government by referendum, but to everything there is a season. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Life coach a key member of Hilltops staff

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express t is easy to think members of the Saskatoon Hilltops have everything going for them. They are young men enjoying success on the football field; they are athletic and strong. They appear happy. That’s not true for all of them, though. Some of the players are living in dark places. Before the start of the just-ended football season, head coach Tom Sargeant approached long-time friend Bruce Rempel about being the team’s life coach. Rempel accepted the challenge willingly, but not necessarily confidently. For starters, he took a three-day life-coaching seminar. “What does that mean I can do?” he said from his office at Rempel Bros. Construction the day after winning the B’nai Brith We’re Proud of You award. “It might not mean I can do a whole lot, but it’s an ear to listen.” Rempel speaks to the team once a week, and individually whenever a player calls him. Each player has his cell number. Rempel makes himself available for coffee or CT111902 Carol lunch or whatever works for the player.

Many have taken him up on the offer. “We have had some very deep and dark problems and some not so bad. If I don’t have the answer, I’m going to get them to the right place; I know where to get the answer. If there are 80 kids on the Hilltops, a lot of them have great family support, but some people don’t have very much support. “How do you know how to live if nobody showed you the right way? How do you know integrity if nobody showed you integrity or charity? Everybody changes as a human being because it’s not just about championships; it’s about young men and what we are putting out into society. That program goes on whether it is football season or not football season and whether they graduate from the Hilltops or not. We’re just worried about them as human beings.” He says he has an unsigned contract with the player. The player doesn’t repeat what Rempel tells him and Rempel will keep the player’s words to himself. “I find the way to build trust quickly is for me to let kids into my life. I tell them some things that happen to me and I get very personal. I talk with them about things that might be football related, but rarely do I talk about football.

That’s what the coaches are there for.” The speeches to the team, which last about 10 minutes, are motivational in nature and cover a different topic each week. Among the topics have been forgiveness, empathy, redemption, leadership, self-discipline and adversity. “We talked about complacency the other day because we had three weeks off but you can get complacent in life. You quit trying at your job or you quit trying at your relationship — a lot of things can go across the board.” The program is named Beyond the H (BTH). The H stands for Hilltops. Rempel sends each player a short video in the next day or two after his speech to emphasize the message. He said the coaches aren’t part of the team meeting. “The coaches don’t stay because of the trust I want to build is with the kids. And maybe there is stuff they will tell me because they don’t want to seem weak to the coaches.” Just before our interview, Rempel was working on his speech for the next night. Rempel said he is grateful that Sargeant asked him come onto the staff. So is Sargeant.

“He truly has impacted many players and has helped them see a better way to live their life,” Sargeant said in the letter of nomination for the B’Nai Brith award. “He is a natural in motivating and supporting others, especially during this difficult time of being a young adult today.” Rempel said going through life helps people become life coaches. “Basically life coaching is 80 per cent listening and just letting people talk to you. We try and find if they have a goal and we try to help them lay out a road map to get to that goal. “Tom and his staff have done a great job teaching these kids humility and you play for the H and not the name on your back. It’s quite a program and it’s ever evolving, but I sure am enjoying it. “We work on some pretty high-level motivation. I know we have made a difference in some kids’ lives, so I guess it’s a success, but we always want to make it better. “If I don’t have the answer I’m not going to pretend I do. I’m going to say to you, ‘that’s a serious problem and we’re going to get you some help.’ “Every day is a gift. And that’s how I finish every speech.”

After gaining a little confidence, I decided I could play in a mixed scrimmage outdoor game, which included adults. Aside from an old pair of skates and a borrowed hockey stick, I didn’t have much for equipment. I decided to improvise with what I saw the adults were using. I noticed they were padded all over their bodies but I had nothing. I did see something in the bathroom I thought I could use. What I didn’t know was that the pads I was looking at were feminine hygiene pads. I took two pads and wrapped them around my knees, placing the padded part over my kneecap and I did the same with my elbows. I noticed if I tied two together and placed the padded parts over my ears they made pretty good earmuffs. The adults couldn’t stop laughing when they saw me skate onto the ice. They started calling me “The Kotex Kid.” I didn’t care, though, because I believed I was styling —and besides, I got my very first assist in that game. Thank goodness there were no cellphone cameras back then, because I would have gone viral. I was involved in the 1993 NAIG in Prince Albert as a communications person. It was, like mostly everything with the games, a volunteer position. The games are held every three years with the first games held in 1990 in Edmonton. Cities from all over North America make a bid for the games. The games have been held in Denver and Milwaukee with the next games in 2020 to be hosted by Halifax. Even though it seemed like I worked 24 hours a day for those 10 days in Prince Albert, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Watching thousands of Indigenous people walk over a hill, each carrying the provincial, territorial or state flag, was overwhelming. I could only think of one thing that made me prouder, and that was watching my niece carrying the provincial flag into the Sky Dome in Toronto. ken.noskye@gmail.com

Today, I don’t even really understand why it’s up for debate. I mean, obviously building a new arena wouldn’t be cheap and council will need to figure out how to finance it. But our property taxes are going up exponentially every year anyway, and it would be nice to have something to actually show for it, no? Anyway I’m not going to get into the economics and politics of the thing, because if you want that, you can find plenty of varying opinions on both. Instead, I encourage anyone and everyone involved in making this decision (and I really, really hope that our elected officials are those people and don’t go to a plebiscite, aka pass the buck) to be bold and make history. Saskatoon legend Bill Hunter was a visionary, a dreamer, and today, someone we ought to be looking back upon as an example of how to plan for our next big downtown barn. In other words, think big, take risks, and never stop pursuing greatness for ourselves, and for our beautiful city.

Hearing aid styles that are VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE

BLACK FRIDAY EVENT ON NOW!

Behind the ear

In the ear

Behind-the-Ear models hide behind the auricle (the visible part of your ear) and have a thin clear tube that runs into the ear canal.

Designed for maximum concealment and customizeable to provide ultimate comfort. They don’t get in the way of glasses or goggles and stay in place more easily.

HEARING IS BELIEVING Despite its miniature size, the processor inside these hearing aids is so powerful it supports the most sophisticated advances in digital hearing technology to date. When someone is talking, it is designed to quiet the background noise in-between syllables and amplify the speaker’s voice so that you can clearly hear and understand the words. Find out if you qualify to wear these hearing aids by booking a FREE, no obligation hearing test.

Put ice cubes in the dryer before drying fabrics, to get wrinkles out. — Lynn Some packaging is difficult to open because the item is encased in thick plastic. I discovered that using a can opener to slice open the packages works well. — Benjamin If you have an open box of pasta, spaghetti noodles in your pantry, keep them fresher longer by storing them in a Pringles chip can. — Alex After cleaning your bathroom and kitchen faucets, polish them with wax paper to make them shine, and repel water spots. — Tammy

My daughter spilt glitter all over the carpet and kitchen chairs. I used a lint roller to clean up the mess; it only took a few seconds. You can also use a lint roller to clean the dust off of lampshades. — Nevee Did You Know? Instead of making one large meatloaf, make meatloaf in muffin tins. This looks better and freezes wonderfully so that you can keep meatloaf on hand in your freezer. — Judy Whenever I travel, I take the bar of soap that I opened and place it in with my dirty laundry. The soap bar would be thrown out by the hotel anyway, and the soap scent keeps my fabrics smelling fresher. — Lindon Reena Nerbas is a popular motivational presenter for large and small groups; check out her website: reena.ca.

Hands On Outreach holding fundraiser people have great causes and it seems this city stands up every time. The children we work with are anywhere from babies up to 16, 17 years old,” he said in a 2017 interview with the Express. “While the kids are in school we are open during the daytime to serve the needs of the street people, young mommies, young daddies, single parents that need hygienic products. There are a few people that need a place to have a shower, change some clothes. We supply all that kind of stuff as well.” Healthy meals are cooked. Last year, 31 tonnes of groceries were served. “Nine trips a week we pick up from three different Safeway stores. They give us fantastic stuff, not just the pastries, but fruits and vegetables for our kids,” he said. “Saskatchewan being what it is, we have a group of farmers that supply all the eggs. Another group supplies the potatoes, and another group supplies all the hamburgers . . . just amazing people. “We’d love to take the credit because we see so much beauty happening daily, but we can’t. It’s everyone else who gives us the privilege of doing it.” Programming includes work experience and life skills training. Among other things offered are free piano lessons and quilt-making classes. There is an auto body shop, and a couple of years ago, a car restored by Hands On clients was raffled at the Draggins Rod & Custom Car Show. Hands On is open Tuesday to Saturday and Mondays by appointment. For more information, visit www. handsonoutreach.ca., email info@handsonoutreach.ca or phone 306-653-4182.

Saskatoon Express ands On Outreach & Development Centre is holding a fundraising event Nov. 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Roxy Theatre. The event, titled An Evening with Rick Langlais, will replace the notfor-profit’s annual Christmas banquet. Proceeds from the event will go to Hands On. It is being billed as an evening of music, testimonials from clients and an inspirational presentation by Langlais. Langlais has spoken in schools and post-secondary institutions across Saskatchewan on difficult subject matter, drawing from his own lived experience, he says on the Hands On website. “These topics include: violence (and how to spot signs of it) bullying, drugs, alcohol, addiction, suicide and finding hope in chaos through love and kindness,” it says on the Hands On website. Langlais was touched by generous people in his own life and able to beat his own demons. He wishes to give back to youth, so they don’t have to face the battles he had to. Langlais will also be releasing his new book, Kookum and Kids, Volume 3, Suicide at the event. Tickets are $10 and available at Hands On (140 Ave. F North), Kennedy’s Parables and at the door. Hands On opened its doors in 1992, focusing on serving vulnerable high-risk children in core neighbourhoods. Hands On, which has an annual budget of between $300,000 and $400,000, provides a safe place indoors and outdoors for children to play. “We are a province where so many

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Try the Royal punch

By RJ Currie hree things last seen in the year 1976: 3. An American-made slide rule; 2. Red Dye No. 2; 1. The Saskatchewan Roughriders finish first in the CFL West. • How are the Toronto Maple Leafs different than Charles, Prince of Wales? The Leafs finally think they can be No. 1. • I found a Loonie and a Toonie in our washing machine. Apparently my wife has been laundering money. • Patriots QB Tom Brady said they need to forget about the beat-down they took in Tennessee.

Views of the World

Give the gift of guns this Christmas

t’s disappointing to see the first two games of the Saskatchewan Rush season being cancelled due a labour dispute. The Rush were scheduled to play Dec. 1 in Georgia and Dec. 8 at home. The players presently make anywhere from US$11,000 for rookies to almost US$40,000 for franchise players. The Rush and a number of other teams are prospering while there are some in not-so-good financial shape — thus the tug-of-war over salaries. Let’s hope this is resolved soon so we can get back out to SaskTel Centre and pound our chests. • Dustin Nielson, an Edmonton broadcaster, on Calgarians voting against bidding for the 2026 Winter Olympics: “For at least one night, people in Calgary are talking about 56 per cent and it’s not Mike Smith’s save percentage.” • From Steve Simmons of Postmedia: “A scout posed an interesting question to me yesterday. If you’re doing the NHL draft over again, who would you pick — Mitch Marner or Jack Eichel? It wasn’t anything anybody considered at the time.” Fair enough. But if you were doing the second round over again, would you have picked Travis Dermott one spot ahead of Sebastian Aho? It should have been considered at the time. • From Torben Rolfsen: “Quite a week for Gary Bettman: He entered the Hockey Hall of Fame, the NHL won its concussion lawsuit settlement again, and he used a 15 per cent off coupon at a dry cleaner the day before it expired.” • Janice Hough, on the Miami Marlins having new logos and uniforms for next year: “Unfortunately, those new uniforms will have the same players in them.” • Guitarist Joe Perry has been released from hospital days after a becoming ill at a concert. “You’ve got to look after yourself, mate,” Keith Richards didn’t say. • Rolfsen, on constant speculation over whether the Maple Leafs can remove William Nylander from their young core without their Stanley Cup dream collapsing: “He’s like a human Jenga piece.” • Who would have thought Phil Kessel would ever get a Gordie Howe hat trick — a goal, an assist and a fight in the same game? I like him more and more. • Hough, on the NFL moving the Chiefs-Rams Monday Night Football game from Mexico City to Los Angeles: “I wonder why the league didn’t consider Oakland? Fans there would love to watch professional football.” • A headline on a Mentoring Day story in a Kansas newspaper: “Students get first hand job experience.” • From the Twitter account of Slava Malamud, who calls himself Twitter’s official Russian sports writer: “Do any fans, ever, in the history of life, look forward to between-the-periods player interviews? Do you learn anything from them? Are they in any way whatsoever needed at all?” If nothing else, they keep Gene Principe employed — and that’s a good thing. • Rolfsen, on the Golden State Warriors offering a $100-ticket option that doesn’t have a view of the court: “The Cleveland Cavaliers have the same deal this season, but it’s considered a bonus.” • From the 1968 NHL Twitter account I have come to enjoy: “Kings rookie goalie Gerry Desjardins asked defenceman Bill White if he could suggest a good local dentist. White advised ‘the kid’ to see his good friend Dr. Pull and gave a fictitious address. Young Desjardins realized he’d been had when he arrived at a vacant lot after a $5 cab ride.” • Hough, on Benshot, a 16-person Wisconsin company deciding to give their employees handguns for Christmas because they are “kind of fun and exciting” gifts: “And you thought your office Christmas party got out of control after people get drunk and argumentative.”

Lobach’s character is the one who utters the lines, “before this glorious life ends, I shall kiss the moon and kiss the sun,” hoping that she will find out that she’s the person she is meant to be. Lobach has worked with Rosebud theatre in Alberta, Persephone and Gateway in Saskatoon.

Fiddler on the Roof extended due to high demand

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express t just may be the hottest ticket in town. Fiddler on the Roof hasn’t even opened yet, but customer demand for the beloved musical has prompted Persephone Theatre to extend the show twice. That means it will now run from Nov. 28 to Dec. 19 at Remai Arts Centre. Known for its classic tunes such as Matchmaker, If I Were a Rich Man and Sunrise, Sunset, Fiddler on the Roof won nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964. It also became the first Broadway musical to surpass 3,000 performances and became a smash hit in Japan, where there have been hundreds of revivals since 1967. Fiddler on the Roof continues to please modern-day audiences with its songs of celebration, love and loss. The story centres on a poor milkman named Tevye, who is devoted to his five daughters and who tries to instill in them traditional values during a time of change and upheaval in Russia. Vancouver-based actor Stephen Aberle plays Tevye, marking his third production with Persephone Theatre (past Persephone credits include The Full Monty and Urinetown). While it is Aberle’s first time doing Fiddler on the Roof with Persephone, he’s not new to the role of Tevye, having previously brought the character to life for

JW111901 James

Chemainus and Western Canada Theatre. “Tevye is one of the iconic characters in Yiddish literature — that is, the literature of Eastern European Jews up until the catastrophe of the Second World War,” said Aberle. “He’s a dairy man; he keeps cattle and milks them. He and his wife and five daughters milk the cows and make butter and cheese, and he takes the butter and cheese around on his wagon and sells it to all of the people in the district. He has to face all kinds of struggles trying to figure out what is the right thing to do for his five daughters.” Aberle noted Tevye wants to get his daughters “properly married,” and in the time and place that the play is set — the middle of Ukraine in 1905 — it was the tradition for parents to arrange marriages. As a result, Tevye and his wife, Golde, expect to do that for their daughters. “But (the daughters) have other ideas, so each one of them presents sort of an accelerating challenge,” said Aberle. For the Persephone production, Aberle will be joined by numerous cast mates and musicians, including Uma Berg, Theo Budd, Andrew Cohen, David Z. Cohen, Paulina Salisbury, Donna Garner, Kristel Harder, Nathan Howe, Rick Hughes, Alison Jenkins, Felix LeBlanc, Emily Lukasik, Anna Mazurik, Ben Redant, Maci Rosman, Kaitlyn Semple and Kristian

Truelsen. The show is directed and choreographed by Peter Jorgensen. “The thing that I love about working with Peter Jorgensen, in particular, is that he challenges his actors to find the reality — to kind of drop all of our stock-in-trade games that we like to play — and just find the central core of what the character is about and really, really find the truth of each moment in the script,” said Aberle. “That’s the will-o’-the-wisp, pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for actors. Just find the truth: it sounds so simple, and it’s so hard. So what I love about the role is continuing to explore all of the details of all of these moments that the character is living through, and trying to understand what is the truth of this moment.” Aberle, a graduate of the professional theatre training program Studio 58 at Langara College in Vancouver, has worked in theatre, film, radio, television and opera in Vancouver and other Canadian centres for about 40 years. He noted that, counting high school, the upcoming Persephone Theatre production will mark the fifth time he’s been cast in Fiddler on the Roof. “Each one of those productions has been a different take with different insights, so it’s both exciting and rewarding and also challenging and interesting in those challenges,” he said. Fiddler on the Roof shows nightly at 8 p.m., except on Mondays, and there are

I travel with a small painting kit, so whenever something is there that I like and I have time, I can stop.” In addition to landscapes, a self-portrait is included in the exhibition. There are also a number of watercolour and charcoal sketches, and even a few of Cook’s sketchbooks. “These are important to understanding her entire body of work, because she is an artist who is very much rooted in the practice of drawing,” said Nicholat. “Drawing or sketching is a very intimate and direct way to engage with any subject. Relative to painting, drawings often feel (Continued on page 18)

come together. Saskatchewan’s lakes, rivers, forests and valleys figure prominently in her oil paintings, although she is known for looking beyond the subject matter to provide her own vision of the province’s landscape. “You paint what you know; you paint what you feel,” Cook said. Cook said there are works in the current Art Placement show that highlight the places she has travelled to in Canada as well as in Europe. Two works denote the Queen Charlotte Islands — which are now referred to as Haida Gwaii — of British Columbia. “I kept the original name because we were there, I think, in ’91, and I painted in some logged-out areas on Haida Gwaii, AS111914 or the Queen Aaron Charlottes, and there’s two

“Louise Cook is an artist who paints the landscape as a way of recalling and reconnecting to her experiences of being in those places. There is a story that goes along with every canvas,” said Nicholat. “Every picture she has painted is of a particular place, at a particular time. Louise is very connected to the landscape of the province and has been active and involved with several wildlife and nature conservancy groups and projects. Her passion for this landscape inspires her to make paintings and it’s a connection that viewers can see and feel translated in the works.” Cook was born in 1943 in the small northern community of Fir Ridge, located east of Prince Albert, where the forks of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express n exhibition that surveys Louise Cook’s responses to the Saskatchewan landscape during the past 33 years is now on view at Art Placement. Founded in 1978, Art Placement is a commercial art gallery in the city’s downtown that showcases contemporary, modern and historical fine art by Saskatchewan and Western Canadian artists. It represents Cook, a Saskatoon artist who studied at the University of Saskatchewan and who had her first show at the Mendel Art Gallery in 1973 with her sisters, Phyllis and Alice. Levi Nicholat, co-owner, director and curator at Art Placement, said Cook’s work is part of the great tradition of landscape painting in Saskatchewan “which brings together the plein-air philosophy of working on site from direct observation with intense focus on the particulars of time and place, with a modern, formalist approach to painting that is equally invested in the medium and considerations of a painting on formal, AS111910 Aaron aesthetic terms.”

Medical Imaging: A Better Look What are your best memories of Christmas? Gifts piled high under a shining Christmas tree. Excited giggles from children on Christmas morning. The mouth-watering smell of roast turkey. Consider the couple who longs for a family, to have the sounds of children warm their home. The couple feeling pain and hopelessness because of a child that never comes. What about the person who can’t enjoy that Christmas meal because they choke when they try to swallow? Or the patient who knows something is very wrong with their health? What if you could help that couple, senior or patient? Or all three? What if you could change a life, improve a life and save a life? You can. By helping medical imaging professionals at Saskatoon City Hospital get a better look. You can do that through Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation’s Equip for Excellence campaign. Your gifts will help upgrade the hospital’s fluoroscopy suite. While x-rays are pictures, fluoroscopy images are like movies. They let doctors see what’s happening in real time. Replacing the 18-year old fluoroscopy equipment means better imaging and clearer diagnoses. For thousands of patients fluoroscopy is the first step in discovery, diagnosis and treatment. Your gift could help a couple have a family. It’s help for a senior who can’t eat. It’s the nod from the doctor who says, “We know what it is and what to do.” Donate and you can change a life. Improve a life. Save a life. To donate, visit SCHFdonate.com, call 306-655-8489, or return the coupon below.

(Continued from page 17) quicker and more energetic, rawer and rougher. Many artists complete preliminary sketches in advance of larger paintings, and there is often a vigour and vitality to these quick studies that does not necessarily translate to the painted work. “One of Louise Cook’s greatest strengths as a painter is her ability to maintain these drawn qualities in her paintings. Lines and mark-making are key elements. We can see in the exhibition how her use of these elements has changed over the years — thick, bold strokes placed with a sense of economy in some of the earliest works, to shorter, densely layered marks in much of her more recent work — but it remains a predominant element throughout.” Throughout her career, Cook has had many solo exhibitions in Saskatchewan and has been a part of dozens of group exhibitions throughout Western Canada. In 2003, her solo exhibition entitled Saskatchewan Paintings, which was on view at the Cumberland Gallery in the Legislature Building in Regina, was visited by Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. In addition to attending the U of S, Cook also took part in the famed Emma Lake summer workshops, where she had the opportunity to study with William Perehudoff, Dorothy Knowles, Terry Fenton, Douglas Haynes and Kenneth Noland.

“I was up there seven times . . . and the people that they brought in were amazing,” said Cook. “I mean, they came from all over the world — very famous artists — so I feel very fortunate to have had met them.” Cook said she hopes people enjoy her show at Art Placement, which is called A Painted Diary, Works 1985-2018. Cook suggested the title for the exhibition, and Nicholat thought it was “perfect” when he heard it: “Her work really is about a very personal connection to place, and each painting recalls a memory and tells a story, like entries in a diary,” he said. Nicholat said the public’s response to the exhibition has been “fantastic,” with many viewers sharing Cook’s love for the Saskatchewan landscape and admiring the feeling she puts into her paintings. “This is also the first survey of Louise’s work we have ever presented, and many people have noted some of the ways that her style has changed over the years — which is not something that becomes apparent unless you have the opportunity to present works from such a broad time span all together,” said Nicholat. “More than a few visitors have inquired to confirm that all of the works presented are by the same artist.” A Painted Diary will remain on view until Nov. 29. Art Placement is located at 238 Third Ave. South and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

I DON’T BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES

Dear Readers, On my last trip to Saskatoon I was delighted to be a part of a very special celebration. Some may say it was a coincidence but the magic surrounding the entire event was far greater than a coincidence. It simply was meant to be. As a matchmaker I work very hard to bring love to each of my clients. Some are matched instantly and others take time before the right combination is present. I often have to reassure people and help manage their expectations. Life with love is always so much better! Once

my clients are happily matched often they are busy with their new love and have less time to stay in touch with us at Camelot Introductions. We celebrate each relationship we facilitate and are often invited to our clients’ weddings. The joy that we feel is incredible knowing that they fell in love because of our introduction. On Saturday October 27th, twenty minutes before most stores closed, I felt I needed to purchase a tripod so I could start collecting video testimonials. I didn’t have any scheduled but ran out the door and bought the tripod.

Later that evening I walked into the lobby at The James Hotel and I heard someone call my name. I looked up and saw two of my clients whom I had matched three years ago, Amanda and Craig. They seemed so excited to see me and had some very special news to share. They explained that two hours earlier Craig surprised Amanda with a marriage proposal and she said yes! They are a wonderful couple and have developed an incredible relationship. I knew intuitively the moment I met Craig that Amanda was a perfect match for him. I was thrilled that they wanted

to do a video testimonial within hours of becoming engaged and share their experience of falling in love with the help of a matchmaker. It all started to make sense why I needed to buy the tripod earlier that day! Visit our website at camelotintroductions.com and view Craig and Amanda’s video testimonial. Amanda and Craig, we are honoured to have matched you. We are thrilled to see how in love you are and what an amazing couple you have become. Congratulations to both of you! Lianne
