A: Many families find that having a permanent place to remember their loved ones is important for the healing process. The memorial provides a place for family to reminisce and honour their loved one forever. Memorials can also serve to connect generations. Children can learn about their family history by visiting the resting place of grandparents or great-grandparents.

At we are getting ready for winter. We are battening down the hatches and making sure the fireplaces are tuned up and ready for any possible cold weather. While hoarfrost dances through the trees in full dazzle, our residents can stay warm in front of a toasty fire. The brave ones may sit on their decks, wrapped in sherpa blankets, sipping hot apple cider from a mug while warming their fingers. Others might be out walking briskly towards the Manor House
the Senate. How that will play out remains to be seen. I was fortunate to hear Michael Atkinson of the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy weigh in on the midterms on CBC Saskatchewan’s noon show with Garth Materie. He noted that the recent trade negotiations are more than likely a done deal, and probably won’t be revisited. Is that good or bad for Canada? It’s hard to say without trying again, I suppose, but Atkinson pointed out that we may lose on some of the points we managed to win in the first round. Letting sleeping dogs lie may not be a bad approach, in this case. But that doesn’t mean Canadian governments can sit back. The “full court press” the federal government has put on the Senate and the House must continue, said Atkinson, and relationships may be a little better because Democrats have a more favourable predisposition toward Canada. He also said he had been looking for a silver lining over the two years of the Trump presidency, and if there is one, it’s

that “this entire episode has refocused our attention on the U.S.” That comment chimed with me. We’ve taken the elephant for granted, the working relationships, the happy-dappy longest peaceful border on Earth thing, the bromance of guys like Brian Mulroney and Ronald Reagan, of Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama. Then we’re amazed when someone like Trump comes along and blows it all up, complaining about trade and personalities and messing with tariffs. And that, of course, isn’t the worst of it. We have, perhaps, been guilty as a country of not taking the power of the U.S. seriously enough. On trade, we have taken a hard look at other trading nations, certainly, and grown some connections there. But that’s not enough. It’s all good when someone sane and intelligent is in office — well, it’s better, anyway — but we have to keep a close eye on the trends, the volatilities, the economy and the problems of this huge nation. We have to have close relationships with key people, sane or no. (Continued on page 5)

I am beginning of mass media. It was a lot of not a union basher. I have respect for them, change to absorb. because throughout the history of the union Aside from the catalogue, retail used movement, unions have played a valuable role and effectively protected workers from unscrupulous employers who oppressed employees. Unions improved the working conditions for employees and fought for livable wages and benefits for their members and their families. But society has evolved from those dark days. We now have enforceable labour laws, civil courts and human rights commissions that prevent employees from being abused by unscrupulous employers, which leaves negotiating wages and benefits as a union’s prime purpose. However, it is arguable that negotiated ONE CANADA: wages have reached a point where emDIEFENBAKER’S VISION ployers can no longer afford to meet the An exhibit curated by the Diefenbaker Canada Centre. demands of unionized employees.

law offices established drop boxes at the land titles office and courthouse to exchange city mail between law firms. Small courier companies sprung up to deliver mail city-wide to clients and fax machines hummed in offices. When the strike was over, businesses continued with this new format and never fully returned to their reliance on the postal system. Thanks to the World Wide Web, which brought the Internet into businesses and most homes, email communications, ebanking, e-transfers, e-commerce and so on have made delivered mail less essential to both businesses and the average citizen. The use of an automatic deposit system ensures government payments for pensions, tax refunds, payroll, etc. can be credited to the recipients’ bank accounts. Increasingly, bills are sent and paid over the Internet. And the exchange of greeting and Christmas cards by email is becoming more popular with each passing year. I would guess there are millennials who have never bought a stamp. What fills my mailbox is promotional flyers and solicitation letters, which I will not miss if service is disrupted or limited. Unlike decades past, and because of these changes, people won’t be hassling elected leaders because mail isn’t being delivered. My best guess is that for Canada Post home mail delivery is a loss leader — a quaint holdover from a bygone era. It is parcel post, servicing online shoppers, that is the mainstay of Canada Post. However, as in past, if this strike is prolonged and Canada Post can’t fulfill its contractual obligations with online giants like Amazon, it may well lose those contracts to other delivery services. If those contracts are lost and revenues decline, Canada Post may not require the same number of employees. Regardless of the type of business, any union striking an employer where there is an alternative competitor operating in the area just means customers will shop at
another store and customer loyalty may not return when the strike is over. And blocking the public’s access to businesses in the surrounding area is not the way to win friends and influence people. Currently there are two unions with a strike mandate that might impact city residents — the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) who are striking the Saskatoon Co-op. The main reason negotiations are stalled with both these unions and their respective managements is tiered wages. Management wants to pay new hires a lesser amount than it pays senior experienced employees, arguing the wage structure is necessary for the long-term financial sustainability of the businesses. The unions’ stance is solidarity, arguing these businesses are profitable and that the tiered proposal is unfair. Tiered wages do not seem unfair to people who work in non-unionized shops. When starting a new job, most employees don’t expect to start at the same wage as an experienced co-worker who has been doing the work for years or decades. Any job is an opportunity to gain experience and earn those higher wages within a reasonable period of time. Strikes only work when the public is greatly inconvenienced and deprived of a product or service it needs or wants. If there is an alternative to snail mail or another grocery outlet to buy groceries at, there will be no hue and cry from the wider community in support of these unions. Although it would be an extremely difficult change for unions to shift away from their “solidarity forever” stance, they should seriously ponder the adages about winning the battle and losing the war, or living to fight another day. Yes, change is hard. It means erosion of the status quo, but perhaps it also means a better mouse trap is in the making. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Hilltops linebacker keeps his motor running
Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express hen Bobby Ehman joined the Saskatoon Hilltops in 2014, he discovered immediately that he was good fit with the team. “The first year feels like a long time ago, but it was awesome,” said Ehman, who is a jack-of-all-trades linebacker. “The vets were really welcoming. “Right away, I felt like a part of the family. I lucked out and got to travel in my first year, and that usually doesn’t happen. I just try to make the most of it. I am still here.” The 22-year-old graduate of Saskatoon’s Aden Bowman Collegiate has watched Saskatoon Minor Football Field undergo a complete reconstruction during his time with the Hilltops. The experience includes playing on a turf field, in front of new stands and press boxes, and getting the opportunity to dress in a new clubhouse. At the Hilltops practice field, he saw the team play their final campaign last season out of their old clubhouse and play the current campaign out of a newly-built state-of-the-art clubhouse. Of course, Ehman has enjoyed the fact he has helped the Hilltops win the CJFL championship in every season he has been with the team. He will try to help the Hilltops win an unprecedented fifth straight CJFL title, when they host the Canadian Bowl against the Langley Rams on Nov. 17 at 1 p.m. Ehman has stockpiled memories he will carry with him for the rest of his life in those championship journeys. Hilltops defensive co-ordinator and linebackers coach Jeff Yausie said the
W
team has benefitted greatly from the fact Ehman has a motor that doesn’t quit. Besides being an ace on special teams, Ehman has played in every spot at the linebacker position. He mainly played at one of the outside spots before moving into the middle this season due to the graduation of star Cameron Schnitzler. Yausie has been pleased with Ehman’s play and continued improvement during his time with the team. “He (Ehman) has been an emotional and energy leader for our team,” said Yausie. “It is a complicated game, especially when you move up a level and you play good opponents, and sometimes players slow down. “He doesn’t do that. He plays faster and brings energy and brings confidence to your team. That is the reason he excels as a leader, by how he plays.” Away from the game, Yausie said Ehman does a great job in keeping things light and loose in the team’s clubhouse. “Off the field, he (Ehman) is a fun guy,” said Yausie. “He is just a natural leader, because he is always cracking jokes and he just brings a relaxed atmosphere to the team.” Going into this season, Ehman realized the Hilltops can accomplish something significant if they win a fifth straight CJFL title. He said the team has the veteran leadership that can keep things focused on the task at hand. “We really just have to stay focused. We have the vets that have been there. We know what it takes to win.” Ehman is one of eight fifth-year Hilltops veterans who could hold the distinction of playing on five straight championship teams. The other seven veterans
Bobby Ehman is a man in the middle of the Hilltops’ success. (Photo by Darren Steinke) are quarterback Jordan Walls, receiver Jason Price, right tackle Kirk Simonsen, receiver Adam Ewanchyna, defensive end Connor Guillet and linebackers Adam Benkic and Cody Peters. Ehman said he would like to keep playing next season and will keep his options open. He said he thought a lot about the fact he was going into his final CJFL campaign before the regular season started. After the Hilltops played their first
regular-season game, Ehman said he has kept his thoughts in the present from that moment on and is just enjoying the final ride. “I really just try to take it in each day,” said Ehman. “It is going by quick. Every day is just kind of a blessing to come out with the guys. I just really try to savour every moment.” (You can see more of Darren Steinke’s work in his online blog stankssermon. blogspot.ca.)

Home Trends for 2019
By Daniel Stephen his is the time of year when all the paint companies are announcing their colour picks for 2019. Colour is a very easy way for you to change the feel of your home. After looking at what the major companies announced for their 2019 colour trend picks, these are the ones that I think are the true winners for 2019. I love this pick from Behr as they have chosen Blueprint S470-5, a mid-tone blue that is warmer than denim and softer than navy, this refined blue signifies authenticity, confidence and timelessness. “Blue signifies authenticity, confidence and timelessness,” says Erika Woelfel, vice president of colour and creative services at Behr. Benjamin Moore unveiled Metropolitan AF690 a subdued dove gray as its 2019 Colour of the Year. This pick is a very stylish neutral colour that will accent the rest of your room very nicely. Benjamin Moore’s creative director Ellen O’Neill described the shade as “colour, off duty.” “Ellen added its not arresting nor aggressive, this understated yet glamorous gray creates a soothing, impactful common ground.” When I looked at the furniture trends 2019 I see that homes inside and out are becoming more and more our retreat from the stresses of the world. The shaped of new furniture is becoming rounder and softer, they are working well in the home to make it feel more relaxing to enjoy our winter inside our homes. “Next year, embrace a curvy design aesthetic. 1970’s-inspired rounded furniture will continue to take over. Rounded back chairs are a chic way to bring the curvy trend into your home,” said Anne Hepfer, a Toronto interior designer. We will also see more use of wood and low slung lines. If you are planning a kitchen renovation the trends I am seeing for the New Year include more use of stone, matte black appliances, and a two toned look with cabinets which certainly looks exceptionally stunning. “Seeing wood cabinets paired with painted cabinets—uppers or lowers, you take your pick—is very much a thing,” American interior designer Natalie Meyers says. The flooring trends of 2019 will follow the path that was created inTammy 2018 with more creative flooring that is TA111204 KK040418 Karen
TA102211 Tammy
low-maintenance. As well we are seeing a continued use of eco-friendly products and cork is non-toxic and one of the most sustainable products. If you want to create some excitement with your flooring more people will be moving to more exotic products such as Brazilian, Cherry, Teak, and Iroko. You can also look for more brass taps in 2019 as they offer a cool contrast and add warmth to white kitchens.
Velvet will be gaining its way in homes through velvet beds and velvet sofas. With art there will be a continued growth of abstract art from graphic geometrics and figurative shapes. Happy Renovating!

Improve entertaining spaces
ome homes are seemingly built for entertaining, while others may need a little help to make them more fit for hosting dinner, holiday gatherings or an evening with friends. Overall, one-quarter of people entertain guests in their home either daily or weekly across the globe. One-third entertain monthly, according to findings from GFK Insights. People who open their homes to loved ones may want to make some modifications to their spaces to improve the experience for all involved. • Tame the clutter. Look for ways to reduce clutter in rooms where entertaining takes place. Built-ins with bookshelves and cabinets can hide electronics and wayward toys or collectibles. Focus attention on the entryway, hanging hooks for collecting coats, keys and shoes, so they do not overrun the foyer. Remove any knickknacks or other breakable items from shelves or on coffee tables to free up more space. • Improve conversation seating. Arrange tables and chairs to create conversa-
M
A few improvements around the house can make entertaining more comfortable for hosts and their guests.
• Do major construction. Consider working with a builder to make some changes if you simply don’t have the space to entertain. Taking down a wall can open kitchens to living spaces, while adding a deck or three-season room off the kitchen or dining room can provide more space for
guests to congregate. • Install a guest bath. Update or add a bathroom near the main entertaining areas. This allows guests to discretely use the bathroom and keeps them from roaming in areas of the house you would prefer they avoid.
How to build your home bar
any people enjoy opening their homes to friends or family. In fact, according to the National Eating Trends survey and custom research by the NPD group, in 2016 the average person ate 38 meals at other people’s homes. Knowing how to cook, set the mood and entertain is increasingly important for many homeowners. Installing and outfitting a home bar can provide guests with the features of a night out, only without the crowds or bar tabs that come at the end of the night. A home bar is a place where hosts and their guests can gather and enjoy great conversation. Such a spot also can serve as a neighborhood hangout — a smart choice for those who want to indulge safely and not have to drive home
AS111219 Aaron
tion nooks for guests who want to talk and get to know one another better. Consider moving out big and bulky sofas in favor of love seats or comfortable chairs that will take up less room and improve flow in entertaining areas. • Find the pieces you like. Think about how you tend to entertain and then cater your space to those preferences. For example, a large dining table with fold-out extensions or leaves is ideal for someone who regularly hosts formal dinner parties. Renovate a room to include a small bar and club chairs for a lounge feel if cocktail parties are typical. • Improve lighting. Work with an electrician and/or designer who can offer ideas for lighting that can set the mood for entertaining. Rooms that are dull and dim can benefit from overhead lighting fixtures if there are none already available. Task lighting in the kitchen under cabinets can make it easy to prepare food for guests. Wall sconces or focused lighting on artwork can establish a dramatic effect.

The experts at Merit Kitchens suggest utilizing corner space with LeMans units, lazy susans and other gadgets to make access to these areas easier. Going vertical with wall cabinets that extend to the ceiling also can add more storage, as can roll-in work carts.

Glass lets you see through the objects, thereby enhancing the feeling of spaciousness or what designers call “negative space.” Glass also can be reflective, visually expanding the space.

4 Best Home Renovation Apps
lanning for home renovations can be tedious, but if you work smart, it might just be easier. We’ve done the research for you and have found some great apps you can use during your home renovations. Homestyler Homestyler is a 3D room designer that has a catalogue of furniture and décor from different brands, for all types of rooms. The app offers three options when it comes to designing a room, you can take a picture of the actual room you would like to design/redesign, you can upload a picture you already have, or you can choose from the app’s wide selection of empty rooms. Using those as your canvas, you customize the room’s paint colour, furnishing, and décor. There is also a community where
TA111212 Tammy
you can share your designs and see what other users have created. If you really like one of the community members’ designs, you’re able to view exactly which items they used in their designs. Houzz Similar to HomeStyler, Houzz has a 3D room designer, but even more, it has a photos section for inspiration; which you can filter by room type, style, location, budget, room size and more. For even more inspiration, you can read Stories From Houzz that discuss everything design, renovation, decorating, remodelling and more. Our favourite feature in Houzz is the Find a Pro feature where you can contact architects, designers, contractors, remodelers and swimming pool builders to help with your project.
Colour Capture Colour Capture is your best friend if you’re trying to paint your rooms. You can take photos of pretty much everything and the app finds the colours in the picture for you. The app also suggests other colours that complement your favourite colours so you could mix and match between them and find colours that actually go together. Can’t find inspiration around you? That’s ok, the app has tons of swatches for you to pick from; from classical colours to shades of off-white and everything in between. A very handy feature in this app is the paint calculator which estimates how much paint you may need based on the room size. The app can also help you find the closest Benjamin Moore store. Renovation Budget Tracker Renovation expenses can easily get out
of control unless you use Renovation Budget Tracker. Ironically, this app, out of all the ones we’ve already reviewed, is a paid app. For $3.99 you get to create spending limits, custom categories and track your expenses. Don’t think it’s worth it? An Excel sheet may suffice! Honorable mentions: Subspace: to measure your rooms using your phone MeasuresLite: to record room measurements MagicPlan: to create a floor plan Orthograph I: to create a floor plan Now you can go out into the world and create the best of virtual design and renovation work!

Kenny (Blues Boss) Wayne will be playing on Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. at The Bassment. (Photo Supplied)
Boogie-woogie hall of famer returns to The Bassment Ned Powers Saskatoon Express enny (Blues Boss) Wayne is an artist who is content to settle anywhere — as long as there is a piano nearby. Wayne was born in Spokane, raised in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New Orleans and now, at 74, he is living in Kelowna, continuing a 30-year British Columbia run where he spent much of his performing career in Vancouver. Wayne is easily accessible and given his credentials in jazz and blues, remains much in demand. He appeared at the Richmond, Va. festival in August where it is common for 240,000 people to visit in three days. He visited the country of Georgia, then Russia, and wound up at what they called the New Orleans Jazz Festival of Tel Aviv in Israel. He tours for parts of seven months a year, finding out that jazz is truly an international thing. Don Griffith, the artistic director of the Saskatoon Jazz Society, has his telephone number and has invited Wayne and his piano-playing friend, David Vest of Victoria to return to The Bassment for a fundraising event on Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. “Kenny and David are two living legends and they gave us a spell-binding show in last year’s programming,” said Griffith. “When you sell out The Bassment, you are guaranteed an invitation to come back. They are great artists and they are so accommodating. Roger Jolly, our president and Saskatoon’s master of tuning pianos, will have our Yamaha C7 Grand and our Yamaha S6 Grand finely tuned so that Kenny and David will be ready to rock.” Wayne has been in all the right places to be a purveyor of the blues. He’s seen the best in performance and he’s lived the experiences. “For me, it was a sampling of everything good that the blues have been. I played the West Coast style, which probably came with a little more gospel influence. In New Orleans, it was an emotional sense with an upbeat style. Then some of the great artists starting to go northwards to open up more markets. Kansas City and St. Louis came with the big band influences. Then came Chicago where the blues was being played with more intensity,” said Wayne. His dad was a church minister and, as a result, Wayne admitted, “Everything I do has bits of spirituality.”

We are your friends, your neighbours, your Funeral Home.
Two of his favourites were Ray Charles and Fats Domino, both of whom have passed on. “I like to pay tribute to them. I keep trying to bring back that classic style of blues which has been missing for a few years. I love that jump blues and boogie-woogie. That’s where my heart is at. That’s classic stuff. And I’m at a classic age, so it all works out for me.” Wayne is a member of The Boogie Woogie Hall of Fame, has recorded 10 albums, the last four being with the Stony Plains label in Alberta. The newest release is called Inspired by the Blues, which features 11 original songs plus a bonus track of Georgia on My Mind, which was recorded in Mexico. Russell Jackson, a long-time bassist with B.B. King, worked on the album. Wayne settled in Kelowna because his wife, an administrator, was transferred from the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver to the Okanagan. He loves it. One of Wayne’s regular contributions to the Kelowna scene is leading a two-hour session, three Thursdays a month, in the lower hall of the Rotary Centre of the Arts. One of his allies there is Sherman Doucette, a harmonica player who attended E.D. Feehan High School in Saskatoon and later enhanced his music skills in North Battleford before moving to Kelowna. Wayne’s partner for the Saskatoon concert, Vest, has ample credentials in music, too. He was born in Huntsville, Alabama, and raised in Birmingham not far from the famed Tuxedo Junction. He played piano with Big Joe Turner, wrote songs for Tammy Wynette, toured with country stars Faron Young and Red Foley before moving to Victoria. And what about Wayne’s nickname, Blues Boss? “There was a pianist-singer, Amos Milburn, who was a star in the 1950s and 1960s, writing and playing a lot of good party and drinking songs. He was huge with the rhythm and blues audiences. One of his last tours was called The Return of the Blues Boss. I liked Milburn’s style a lot; we had very much in common, and rather than let the Blues Boss name disappear after his passing, I picked it up and decided to carry on the torch.” Proceeds from the concert will go to a Sign of the Times fund, which is designed to install LED signage on the club’s street front.

t may be difficult for some longtime local music fans and regular customers to believe, but Saskatoon’s Amigos Cantina is celebrating its 30th anniversary. I have so many memories linked to Amigos, from attending amazing concerts and parties to eating tasty Tex-Mex cuisine to my employment as a server there, way back in my early undergrad#YXE uate university days. Where does the time go? Amigos Cantina opened in the Broadway district in November 1988, and it has since grown into one of Canada’s most storied music venues. So many big-name Canadian acts have played there — including Sarah McLachlan, Broken Social Scene, Neko Case and The Sadies, just to name a few — and the stage has been graced by musicians of all genres at various stages of their careers. If only those restaurant walls could talk. To mark its 30th anniversary, Amigos is hosting a “30 Events in 30 Days” celebration. A much-anticipated show is set for Nov. 24 at 10 p.m. and will feature The Smugglers, Chixdiggit and The Garrys. The full lineup for the month is available online at amigoscantina.com. A show I’m particularly interested in is Hey Ocean! with Carmanah, set for Nov. 17. Hey Ocean! is a popular Vancouver band known for its brand of West Coast pop. I have recently been listening to Carmanah’s JW111205 James music, and I have been super impressed with
the Victoria, B.C., group and their sound — which producer Gus Van Go has described as “West Coast soul.” Singer Laura Mina Mitic has an incredible voice that can stop you in your tracks, with The Zone 91.3’s Jon Williams hailing her as “the Stevie Nicks of our generation.” Carmanah has built a dedicated fan base, opening for international acts such as K.D. Music Lang, Moby, Ziggy Marley and more. Another cool fact: Carmanah lessens its ecological footprint while on tour by fuelling the tour vehicle with used vegetable oil from restaurants. Having just wrapped up the eastern leg of their cross-Canada tour with Hey Ocean!, Carmanah has captured the No. 1 spot on CBC Music’s Top 20 chart with their new single, Nightmare. They surpassed reigning champions Arkells to have their second single in a row hit No. 1. Clearly, Carmanah is an up-and-coming Canadian band to watch. ***** I just celebrated my 40th birthday on Nov. 1, and I have to admit that I’m not as in touch with the newcomers on the Canadian music scene as I once was (and taking care of my two little boys, ages five and two, means I don’t often have the stamina to stay out late at concerts the way I did a decade ago). So it’s not surprising, then, that I only recently heard about Ralph, an artist that is considered Canada’s new pop darling.
Shannon Boklaschuk
Amigos Cantina, considered one of Canada’s most storied music venues, is celebrating its 30th anniversary. (Photo by Shannon Boklaschuk) A quick bit of research revealed Ralph has some big-name fans — including celebrity blogger Perez Hilton — and has received praise from ELLE Canada, MTV, Variety, Billboard, Nylon, Flare and more. Ralph recently released her debut album, A Good Girl, and she is now hitting the road on a crossCanada tour in support of Ria Mae this month. An Exclaim! review of A Good Girl noted that Ralph — aka Raffaela Weyman — has created “music for dancing and getting lost in your feelings.” “Over exquisite pop and feather-light R&B production, the Toronto singer offers her unique takes on relationships, both romantic and otherwise, without succumbing to modern pop tropes. And while that might sound simple on paper — shouldn’t that be the MO of any pop artist? — in practice it’s no easy feat,” states the review.
“Rather than building songs around a beat or instrumental hook, Weyman, a trained singer with a charismatic voice, makes that the centre of each composition, and her melodies the hook. It gives her music a classic aesthetic, even while keeping both feet firmly planted in the 21st century.” If you want to hear Ralph perform in person, she’ll be in Saskatoon on Nov. 21 with Ria Mae and Neon Dreams. The show starts at 7 p.m. at Louis’. ***** It’s beginning to look (and sound) a lot like Christmas. While it’s only November, and Christmas is still well over a month away, the snow seems a little festive. And so do some of the holiday-themed concerts on offer in Saskatoon this month.

Helping one leads to helping many
(Continued from page 1) he lunches were held for elementary school children. He saw room for a similar program for high school students. “We found this gap between high school and grade school because a lot of the social programs stop, but the need doesn’t stop because the kid has a birthday.” Almost 10 years ago, Rempel launched Help One, a Saskatoon-based non-profit committed to ensuring high school students in the city have access to the support they need to succeed, both in and outside school. “My family initially started by sponsoring an annual Christmas lunch and dignity fund. It was well received and kids were thankful for the help. However, we felt we could do more, and came up with idea of helpone.ca.” Help One was designed to help kids with things such as purchasing clothes, playing sports, band trips, eye glasses and tutoring. “Saskatoon has been very good to Rempel Bros. Construction, and to my own family, for over 50 years. We feel it is imperative to give something back to the community that has been so supportive of us.” He credits the helpone.ca website with removing one of the obstacles that might lie between Saskatoon youth and receiving the assistance theyJames require. JW111203
“It’s always challenging getting young people to trust others enough to ask for help,” said Rempel. “Having the website really helps take that face-to-face challenge away. It has proven itself to be a huge tool in helping out young people in our community.” He said it is touching when a student asks for something simple. “The biggest request we have is for hoodies. They want to show some school spirit and they don’t have $40.” He saluted teachers for the work they do, both in the classroom and as Help One’s representatives. “We are just raising funds; they are in the trenches. We couldn’t do it without them.” Rempel is proud of a bike repair program that was started at Mount Royal Collegiate this year. “I thought it was really cool, because the community donates the bikes and we donate the parts to fix the bikes. They are taught how to fix the bikes and then they get to keep the bikes. It wins on several levels. Now you are affecting a child’s self-esteem.” Rempel says a few thousand kids have received help. He said Help One typically gets two requests a day. “We have quietly raised more than half a million dollars, so it’s pretty good for a little grassroots charity that nobody knows about.
The nice thing is we can grow and the need is growing so we have to raise more money. “I believe that when you give to another person and you see how grateful they are, it feels so good that it will make you want to do it again,” he said. “Hopefully the person who was helped by Help One helps another, and that momentum just keeps getting traction. I believe that we have to show our young people and our children that it takes the same amount of time to have a good attitude as a bad one.” The program is now in several elementary schools as well. “I am proud to say we haven’t said no to too many things, but then you have to grow and you have to raise money. I am horrible at raising money because I don’t like asking people for things.” Speaking at the B’nai Brith dinner put him in front of 900 prominent Saskatonians. He said of those 900 probably 825 didn’t know about his charity. It’s not that they should have known, because Rempel has been doing his work quietly in the inner city. Now he wants to spread the word and find donors. He said Help One is giving out $100,000 to $150,000 a year. “You have to get it donated, so that’s where that profile came in. The award was absolutely awesome, but so was being able

to tell the people what we are about. If everyone in the room helps some person in some way, we literally help 900 people. It is super powerful. “You help one and then you help another; focus on that, one foot in front of the other and just keep going. It was a wonderful evening, but I hope we can help more kids and affect our community in a very tangible way.” Rempel laughed as he gazed around his office. “I don’t have too many awards on the walls, but I told the guys yesterday I do have a record. I got the fastest foul at BRIT (the Bedford Road high school basketball tournament). I got it on the jump ball so it was about .5 seconds in but I didn’t get a plaque for that. I said, ‘I don’t have any awards so I guess this would beat that out.’” He said his parents inspired his giving spirit, but so has his life. He said people tend to grow and change when their children become adults. “We change as human beings because of that experience of raising a family. I can remember the exact moment. I got up at four in the morning one day and my ‘why’ was changing. Why I was getting up in the morning was so I could help some people.” To learn more about Help One, including making a donation, visit helpone.ca.
(Continued from page 14) Small Sonorities: A Little Piece of String. “She is driven by curiosity, crossing disciplines to create works that are open and poetic.” Moffat’s practice includes solo, collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, multi-channel sound installations, electroacoustic instruments and performance, and her work has been presented in national and international exhibitions and at live events. She is currently pursuing a PhD at Western University in London, Ont., and holds degrees from the University of Toronto, Concordia University and the University of Regina. Small Sonorities: A Little Piece of String runs to Jan. 6, 2019, in Remai Modern’s Connect Gallery on Level 1. Programming in the Connect Gallery is free to the public.

Entitled Merry Christmas, Stephen Leacock, the performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Quance Theatre on the University of Saskatchewan campus and feature a chamber opera by Neil Weisensel. For more information, or to purchase tickets, go online to saskatoonsymphony.org. Country music fans will also be interested in Sask Country Christmas, a performance gala that showcases songwriters and musicians with Saskatchewan roots. The event will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 22 at TCU Place, with show proceeds going to the Saskatoon Society for the Protection of Children. Ten artists are slated to perform: Leaving Thomas, Colter Wall, Codie Prevost, Belle Plaine, Jay Semko, Samara Yung, Brody Siebert, Blake Berglund, Brock Andrews and Chris Henderson.

NOW I’M GOING TO BE THE THIRD WHEEL
Dear Lianne, So, my sister came to you and now my life is upside down. She and I were both widowed and we did everything together. We have plans to go to Hawaii this winter. We have theatre tickets and the list goes on. Wouldn’t you know it, she met a guy through you and they are crazy about each other. Now everything is changing. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for her but this is just difficult for me because she is a different person.
She is now so happy, positive and is always busy with Glen. I’m used to my sister being there all the time and now she is not. I suspect he will be coming to Hawaii, and everywhere else we go. I’m feeling out of place and feeling guilty for being envious. Who ever thought a 78 year old would be giggling like a teenager? I must admit, you did a very good job matching those two lovebirds! Any suggestions for me? Maureen
Dear Maureen, Although change is often good it does take time to adjust to. I have seen Arlene and Glen together and they truly are a beautiful couple. If you feel you are ready to have us start to look for a man for you, by all means call me at 306-978-LOVE(5683) and I can meet with you and start the search for you. It would be wonderful in your 70’s, to meet a great man and go on double dates with them! I would also encourage you to get to
know Glen so you feel comfortable joining them in the many activities they do. You and your sister should make a point of doing a weekly activity where it is just the two of you so that you can catch up and have sister time. It is time to start getting involved in activities to expand your social circle and keep busy. I understand the changes are difficult for you, but your sister is so very happy. I am thrilled for them. Do call me when you are ready.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Manziel no masterpiece
W
By RJ Currie innipeg Blue Bombers coach Mike O’Shea called RB Andrew Harris’ work this season a ‘masterpiece.’ If Montreal QB Johnny Manziel’s work was art, it’d be taped to a refrigerator. • Canadian RJ Barrett had a game-high 33 points as Duke scored 118 points in its NCAA basketball season-opener. Who were they playing, the Cleveland Cavaliers? • The Leafs went five straight games at Scotiabank Arena with no goals in the first two frames. Take it from an old divorcé: lots of guys have periods where they don’t score at home. • The Tennessee Titans “new” road uniforms don’t look especially new to CFL fans. They look like they were borrowed from the Toronto Argonauts. • The Cleveland Cavaliers parted ways with coach Tyronn Lue just six games into the season. Call it the mother of all fast breaks. • Pittsburgh police clocked Steelers receiver Antonio Brown going over 100 mph on Thursday. And that was just running past Panthers defenders. • A recent survey shows Americans are spending more money on dogs than ever before. In a related story, the Dallas Mavericks lead the NBA in attendance. • Did you know Patriots’ QB Tom Brady was drafted by the Montreal Expos as a catcher? He is also married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen — credit him with one major-league catch. • Which is harder to believe: That N.Y. Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen said Tim Tebow earned the right to start on a Triple-A team? Or that he didn’t mean the Mets? • Scientists said the most likely explanation for a beluga whale that swam into the Thames is an impaired guidance system. “Ditto,” they said, “for Bills QB Nathan Peterman.” • Supermodel Kate Moss once told Grazia magazine: “People look ridiculous walking a dog in heels.” I agree. That’s why my dog wears Hush Puppies. • Metro UK reports a woman who said she’s had sex with ghosts now claims to be engaged to one. Right. Who’s her bridesmaid, Manti Te’o’s girlfriend? • The Bombers finish third and play the 12-6 Roughriders, while fourth-place BC gets to play the 8-10 Ti-Cats. You’ll find the CFL playoffs in the dictionary under negative reinforcement. RJ’s Punalty Box How is an NFL receiver like Maxwell House coffee? They’re both good to the last drop.
F
Views of the World Broken ribs wouldn’t have stopped Howe
rom @1968NHLtweets, a Twitter account which provides tidbits of NHL stories from 50 years ago: “Red Wings star Gordie Howe doesn’t have broken ribs, as was initially feared. Howe does have some nasty bruises, but it looks like he will be ready to go tonight against the North Stars.” Howe would have been ready to go even with broken ribs. • Torben Rolfsen, on the NFL announcing a partnership with Fortnite: “The NHL is in discussions with the Pac-Man people.” • From Bill Littlejohn: “Surviving members of the undefeated ‘72 Dolphins are getting along in years. They’re getting so old they popped a bottle of prune juice after the Rams lost.” • Janice Hough, on new Raiders broadcaster Brent Musburger tweeting out a picture of people in Native-American headdress at a Trump rally and captioning it: Elizabeth Warren’s relatives backing Trump in Montana. “I liked Brent better when he was just a dirty old man.” • From TSN hockey analyst Ray Ferraro: “When I started broadcasting in 2002, I had to remind myself not to be the president of the Pavel Datsyuk fan club every time I did a Wings game. He was my favourite player to watch. I feel the same way about the Canucks’ Elias Pettersson in nine bloody games.” • Steve Simmons of Postmedia does it again: “Willie Desjardins in Los Angeles is beyond odd. Can’t think of anyone who thought Desjardins did a decent job coaching Team Canada at the 2018 Olympics.” • More from Simmons: “The Leafs have never had a winger score 100 points. Mitch Marner will be the first. Maybe not this year, but sometime in the future.” Simmons might be right, but he sure is annoying. • Another one from @1968NHLtweets: “The Toronto Star’s Jim Proudfoot says the best young junior player in Canada is named Rejean Houle. But
Houle won’t be available in the amateur draft thanks to some skullduggery written into the draft rules by Montreal GM Sam Pollock.” Those were the days, weren’t they Habs fans? • Trump almost didn’t make his trip to Paris for the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day. Apparently, his bone spurs were acting up. • From Rolfsen: “The NBA announced its AllStar Game Draft will be broadcast — from inside a fleet of Ubers. • Littlejohn, on Evander Holyfield’s son, Elijah, running for more than 100 yards for Georgia against Kentucky: “You could say Elijah has been earmarked for success.” • A question from U.S. author/political commentator Rick Wilson: “Has anyone heard anything about the millions of dangerous Caravan Qaeda terrorist job-stealing smallpox-infested hostiles streaming toward our borders? I was told that was a big thing.” Wilson really needs some commas. • From Montreal journalist Dave Stubbs: “Hidden-camera video from a Montreal taxi in the 1970s with Habs players as passengers: ‘I’m sick and tired of Scotty Bowman cluttering up my house with Stanley Cup rings.’” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, on Melania Trump racking up a hotel bill of $96,000 in a sixhour stay in Cairo: “On the bright side, she was named an honorary Jacksonville Jaguar.” • True words from Steve Buffery of the Toronto Sun: “It’s great that 1972 Summit Series hero Alexander Yakushev got into the Hockey Hall of Fame, but still no Paul Henderson, who was also a hero in that series and enjoyed a solid NHL and junior career.” • From Hough: “Is it too soon to speculate how many years Jon Gruden will actually coach of his 10-year Raiders contract?” • Montreal Gazette columnist Jack Todd, on the Argos firing Marc Trestman: “Jim Popp is a jackass.”
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.
