The yard of Dr. Lyn and Janet Chow is unlike most others in Saskatoon. While the majority
are Saskatchewan flat, the Chows have
a steep elevation from their patio to a gazebo high above. It is stunning.
The reconstruction of the yard began ap-proximately 20 years ago when the Chows moved into the Silverwood home. At the time there was a rotting cedar wall and a steep slope of lawn heading to the top.
Piece by piece, perennial by perennial, the yard took shape. There is no lawn in either the front or back of the house. Janet laughs when she says her husband, a Sas-katoon dentist, didn’t want to cut grass.
The Chows’ yard is this year’s winner of the Saskatoon Horticultural Society
(SHS) Home Grounds competition. It will be featured in two upcoming tours.
Janet Chow comes from a background in gardening, but isn’t a grower, she stresses. Her father was a silent partner in Coronation Gardens on Valley Road.

Our draw for Bryan Adams tickets darn near blew up the edi-
[email protected] email account.
We have never had a re-sponse like that to a giveaway. The second-biggest one was when we gave away sympho-ny tickets when the music of Michael Jackson was featured.
Last week it was fun open-ing each email. The things people will include often bring a smile to my face. These are make-your-day moments.
These are different than the emails I get from Bob every year or so. In short, he doesn’t like much of our content, my writing and me. I don’t like me either. He dislikes this column because it is more a diary than the editorial he thinks it should be.
You want an editorial? I get sick of people droning on about the city’s im-perfections. These tend to be transplants or cyclists. There are a lot of things wrong with this city and presumably every other one. When outsiders come in and put the boots to us, it raises my hackles. It’s like a sports team. Even when a teammate screws up, you have his back. I love my city. End of edito-rial.
That said, I’ve raised hackles in other cities a few times. One came swiftly after I wrote a joke about Regina. The joke quickly found its way
onto a high-traffic Regina website. Not only did the haters hate on me for the joke, but they posted a photo of me so they could hate on my face, too. After a long string of hatred, one guy said, “It was a joke. Cam writes jokes. The joke could have been about any city.” Momentarily, they quit hating on me to hate on him. I was grateful.
Oh yes, Bryan Adams and the things people said in emails.
“If I win I’ll look for you and ask to get a picture with you and Sandy. I al-ways read your column first, and espe-cially enjoy Missed Connections. Then I look for Ken Noskye. Truthfully, I cut out and saved a few months’ collection of both and took them to Ottawa when I went to visit my daughter and son-in-law. Then while driving back to Ottawa from Toronto and a Blue Jays game, I read them out loud. We had a few good laughs and it made the four-hour drive quite enjoyable. I’ve got another col-lection started for my next visit there.” (Comment: I am blushing and I bet Ken will as well.)
*****“I would like to party like it is the
Summer of ’69 with you!” (Comment: You would be so disappointed.)
*****“I love the Express and look forward
to its Tuesday arrival in my mail box …
I think I told you once that giving Ken Noskye a hug was on my bucket list. Don Atchison gives me a hug every time he sees me. Isn’t he just the best? Where else could you live where the mayor gives you a hug? I’d love to party with you and Sandy like it’s the Summer of ’69! Actually I arrived in Saskatoon on Oct. 1, 1969, from Ontario … Coming to Saskatoon was the best move ever.” (Comment: No hug for Cam?)
*****“We would love some Bryan Adams
tickets from the Saskatoon Express, which we faithfully read every single week. And I’m not just saying that. Honestly.” (Comment: I believe you, and thank you.)
***** The downside of opening every
email, is forming a brief attachment to the people that took the time to write. People entered for birthdays, anniversa-ries and because Bryan Adams is their favourite performer. I was touched by a proud father with a health issue who hoped to win tickets so his hard-work-ing son could see the concert. I wish we would have had 100 pairs of tickets to give away.
***** I found it interesting that a number
of people mentioned liking Missed Connections. I have sometimes thought of it as an admission that I couldn’t think of something else to put in this space. Missed Connections will appear next week.

Milton Taylor is a professional photog-rapher who wants his
customers to produce the widest smiles possible.
He launched Imagery Pho-tography 37 years ago and, at 64, is Saskatoon’s senior among studio photographers. From the early fascination and through a steep learning curve, he has gained national recognition. He has served on Saskatchewan and national boards with the Professional Photographers of Canada and, in 2007, he won the organiza-tion’s Prix De La Citation Award.
There were interesting influences along the way.
“I was fascinated by what Jerry Horbay could do with a camera and he got me reading the photography magazines,” said Taylor. “While I was a student at the Uni-versity of Saskatchewan, I was paid $2 a picture by The Sheaf, the student newspa-per, and $2 a picture by The Commentator, a community weekly.
“I was also lucky enough to spend a couple of years with Gene Hattori at his f11 studios. He had a great eye and was a valued mentor. I spent another year and a half with the University of Saskatchewan’s audio-visual department, another valuable experience.”
Taylor took the plunge with Imagery in May 1977, “starting with a camera and $1,000, and getting a big boost from Ian McGilp, who wrote a business plan that seemed to find favour with the bank and others.”
His first studio was on Victoria Avenue. His second was on Morgan Avenue, where
he settled in 1982, and now, since 2002, the studio’s home has been on Duchess Street. The location was somewhat ironic because of the nearness to the Robin Hood mills where his grandfather, father, brother and uncle were once employed.
He’s witnessed the amazing changes in technology.
“The 35-mm camera is so versatile today. All you need is the camera, a laptop computer and you’re in business,” he said.
He adapts to new equipment, but he’s still old-style in doing business. In handling weddings, family portraits and business portraits, it’s always a matter of consultation, choosing indoors or outdoors, the colours and the environments. About 60 per cent of Imagery’s clients are repeat customers. That can be attributed to his dedication to customer service.
His passion for golf was fuelled just recently when he followed Saskatchewan professional star Graham DeLaet in a Saskatoon appearance on behalf of the Saskatchewan Children’s Hospital Founda-tion.
“Graham played a hole with many guests, was always obliging, and I was be-hind the camera. We photographed, printed and framed 150 pictures in the one day,” said Taylor.
Six years ago, Taylor did a similar golf event when Mike Weir was visiting Saskatoon.
None of it happens without two valued employees — Betty Weller, who has been with Imagery for 25 years, and Brenda Spork, a graduate of a recognized photog-
raphy school who has been there for 17.Taylor says it was his mother, Margaret,
and his older brother, Paul, who became inspirational figures in his life.
“My mother had a Grade 3 education, had a job in a hospital laundry and her work ethic was enormous. Her dream for Paul and me was that we leave Saskatoon and the world around us a better place than the way we found it,” said Taylor.
That’s why Taylor has found ways and means to put more smiles on more faces simply through community service.
In March 2014, he was honoured with the Community Leadership Award at the SABEX awards.
Leadership Saskatoon, sponsors of the honour, recognized the roles Taylor has played in citizen engagement, collabora-tion, inclusion, diversity and lifelong learning.
He has been on the board of Care and Share for 12 of the 17 years it has been serving inner-city schools in Saskatoon.
“The Saskatoon Progress Club launched the program and it was easy to get hooked. The cycle of poverty can only be broken by education. We want the current genera-tion of children to stay in school, learn to be productive and became role models for others.”
He’s there for the traditional Christmas turkey dinners they take into the commu-nity schools. And he’s most proud of the management of a dignity fund “where a school coordinator can draw from an al-lotted fund to help children buy shoes, un-derwear, sweaters, even a swimming suit if they want to enrol in swimming. It is our job to keep filling the needs of the children and the community school coordinators have a pulse on what is happening.”
Taylor was also the one who ap-proached Mayor Don Atchison and asked about getting city space on Third Avenue to begin a vegetable garden on behalf of the food bank.
“Three houses were torn down, the space was empty, and the reality was that we had to reclaim the soil. The first year, we grew mostly potatoes. Last year, we harvested 19,500 pounds of corn, squash and root vegetables. Everyone wins. It’s good for the City of Saskatoon and the food bank to be proactive. The food is good for their clients, good for the vol-unteers at the site and it’s a good-looking space instead of an eyesore.”
He’s been a longtime Kinsmen member and was the photographer who shot the first Kinsmen Telemiracle back in 1977. He stays active in K-40. He’s been a direc-tor of the North Saskatoon Business As-sociation, a director of Tourism Saskatoon, and a board member at the Saskatoon Golf and Country Club.
Since his brother Paul was one of the originals of the Saskatoon Jazz Society and the ensuing ownership of the summer festival, Taylor has been a festival volun-teer for 15 years. Paul is now retired after a career in real estate.
“The magic light for taking pictures is before sunrise and after sunset. The light is natural, the colours are soft, warm, red and orange, and the faces stand out. It works so beautifully in the summer months, but the same effects can work in the winter, too.”
It’s been a time of magic moments for Taylor, most behind the camera. He is the father of two sons, Scotty (Melissa) and Darby, and relishes a new role as grandfa-ther for a granddaughter, Ella. He lives by the motto, “treasure life.”

Infill housing, love it or not, is here to stay. It’s just a matter of doing it right, say city and community officials.“Generally, the 50-year plan for Saska-
toon…has to happen,” said Mike McKague, president of the Nutana Community Association.
“Otherwise, financially, we can’t build our overpasses….(and) the city can’t af-ford a world-class transit system,” among other things, he said.
The future must include improvement and densification in the core neighbour-hoods, said McKague. Some residents would rather not see more densification, but that’s short-sighted, he added.
“It’s got to happen, even though it might not be perfect.”
McKague advocates for infill guidelines that specifically address the unique aspects of each neighbourhood. For example, guidelines for Nutana and City Park should be different from those for Haultain or Exhibition. Lot size, parking, street widths and neighbourhood character should all be addressed, he said.
Furthermore, new residents and greater density bring better amenities, such as grocery stores, along with them.
“Generally, although there are outliers, people know this is coming and it’s fine,” said McKague.
Charlie Clark gets a lot of not-entirely positive comments on infill housing. Indeed, it’s one of the main issues he hears
about as city councillor for Ward 6.Ward 6 includes a number of core areas,
such as Buena Vista, Haultain and Nutana, which have seen plenty of new housing going up over the last few years.
“Over the last four or five years, it has definitely been a very consistent area of concern,” said Clark in an interview.
“In a lot of people’s minds, they think what we’re doing is trying to add density to the city.
“While a couple of the measures will have some density impact, really what I think is one of the biggest urgent needs is to regulate what’s already happening . . . to put in guidelines to ensure what’s being built better fits into neighbourhoods.”
Those new guidelines are under devel-opment at City Hall, and phase one has already been passed. On May 5, council approved garden and garage suites on a discretionary basis: every suite of this kind must be expressly approved.
However, the largest part of the infill policy — and the more controversial — will go to council this fall. It can roughly be divided into two pieces: fourplex development and single-family and duplex development.
Should the policy be approved, fourplex-es would be allowed on corner lots in cer-tain locations, also on a discretionary basis. Some residents of core areas don’t like the idea, saying it adds too much density and potential parking problems on their blocks.
To date, however, much of the uproar in core communities has come because of du-
plex development. Some blocks in Buena Vista can have three or four new duplexes or semi-detached homes.
Clark says the new regulations would make it easier to build two smaller homes by allowing for lot subdivision, which has been difficult to do in the past.
“The current proliferation of duplexes, I think, is an unintended consequence of the 70-per-cent rule,” he said, wherein lots smaller than 70 per cent of the average size of a block’s lots are not allowed.
Once that rule is abolished, builders will have the freedom to split 50-foot lots and build two smaller homes instead of one large duplex.
Single-family infill homes can also be large in comparison with the other houses on the block. People often object to big two stories looming over old bungalows, shutting out sunlight and affecting privacy, noted Clark. Therefore, the size of the building is another issue that is being ad-dressed in the new regulations.
Sidewalls can now be up to eight metres high, but the new proposal is for a six-metre-high sidewall, with a 45-degree angled roof allowed above that. The new guidelines would also allow for front porches to add character at the street level, added Clark.
“It’s balancing the rights of the existing property owners versus the rights of the property owner of the sites to be devel-oped, to build what they want on their property,” said Clark. “I think the guide-lines in the report are quite strong.”
McKague would like to see additional
guidelines directing how high a house’s main floor can be off street level. Many homes in Nutana have four or five steps to the front door; some infills have 10, which disrupts street level integrity.
“Good infill designs would respect that,” he added.
There has been a great deal of discus-sion, much of it spurred by community as-sociations, which deserve credit for bring-ing a thoughtful approach to the discussion around infill, said Clark.
“This isn’t an anti-infill discussion,” added Clark. “There’s some great infill out there (but also) whole blocks being trans-formed right before our eyes.
“We’re hoping to preserve that value and that character for the long-term integ-rity of the city. So it’s really important.”
Infill generally positiveAlan Wallace, director of planning
and development for the City, said infill development is generally positive, since it refreshes neighbourhoods and replaces aging homes that are beyond renovation. The city wants to encourage investment in the core neighbourhoods, which Wallace said are relatively healthy compared to those in other cities. There is a unique tree canopy, relatively high owner occupancy, no abandonment and even growth.
However, he said, infill “has to be done better. We’re getting a lot of complaints about infill housing . . . being out of scale, out of character. . . .

Many duplexes and semi-detached homes have been built in core neighbourhoods over the last few years, including this development on King Crescent in City Park.
SASKATOONEXPRESS - July 21-27, 2014 - Page 5
(Continued from page 4)“Infill has had no negative effect on
property values, but the neighbouring property (owners) tend to feel their quality of life has been affected.”
The City does have a housing-density target. At present, roughly 83 per cent of the city’s growth is in new areas, and 15 per cent is in infill. The new target is 70 to 30.
“We have a lot of opportunities for that. We have a lot of vacant sites within Circle Drive,” said Wallace, noting there were more than 300 vacant sites at last count.
However, the communities’ and build-ers’ views remain somewhat divergent. The main two issues are sidewall height and length.
Builders say too-stringent regulations may stifle investment, while residents want stricter controls
“We have to try to get these two sides closer together,” said Wallace. “The build-ers are telling us there has to be a consider-ation for the market and we can’t turn the tap off here.
“We can’t stifle the market. We’re try-ing to do the opposite here.”
More consultation is to come. City administration will meet with stakeholders again in the fall, and then take the propos-als to council.
Lots of choicesLately, a large number of semi-detached
homes in core neighbourhoods have come on the market.
Jarlath Currie, owner/broker at Select Realty, sells a lot of new homes, both in new and old neighbourhoods. He notes that there is a bit of a glut right now in semi-detached homes in the $600,000 to $750,000 range, but there are a number of reasons for that.
For one, city lots were fairly hard to come by a couple of years ago, driving builders increasingly into the core.
For another, not everyone has the pockets for an infill home. Homes in the $400,000 range sell quickly, but all homes in the higher price ranges take longer to sell, new or not. Additionally, a huge part of the Saskatoon market — new Canadians — are looking for homes, generally speak-ing, in new subdivisions.
“It’s simple economics, supply and demand,” said Currie.
In addition, infill lots are expensive. A builder will pick up a lot for perhaps $300,000, pay for the entire property up front (the City accepts down payments on lots), add services and then start building.
“You have to put something fairly sub-stantial on the lot to be able to make any sort of money. That’s why you’re seeing this size and price of a property,” said Cur-rie. “If you want new in a mature neigh-bourhood, you’re paying that premium.”
Older people tend to make up most of the market for infills. They are seeking new properties requiring less maintenance, along with smaller yards.
By comparison, older houses can be problematic, particularly those with
100-year-old basements that have seen bet-ter days, noted Currie.
“A lot of these 100-year-old houses are just not worth renovating — or saving, for that matter,” said Currie, adding that flip-ping homes, for that reason, has fallen out of favour in Saskatoon.
“To that extent, it’s practical to get into a newer house, even if people like the old charm.”
Currie sees long-term potential in infill housing. From a commuting perspective, there is great appeal to being in a core area, he said.
“There will be more demand in the future.”
Lacy Watson of Re/Max is selling two new homes on First Street in Buena Vista, where the builder has decided to build two homes instead of a duplex. The homes have separate entrances for potential legal income suites.
With duplexes, rental suites are not an option; they are not legal, since they turn the property into a fourplex, said Watson. The rental potential will help buyers afford such homes, while adding density to the neighbourhood, she said.
“Infill builds like these, with legal basement suite potential, is exactly what the city needs,” said Watson.

(Continued from page 1)She ran the business for two years be-
fore it was sold seven or eight years ago. She said bedding plants weren’t her
thing. Creating a beautiful landscape clearly is.
“I guess it just comes natural to my husband and me,” she said. “We just like playing in the yard, not so much in grow-ing bedding plants. It’s a yard you can do whatever you want in.”
She says she loves to add pieces every year.
“I am kind of a hoarder with plants,” she said with a laugh. “If I see something in a greenhouse I like, I will bring it home
and find a spot for it. That is why there is no definite plan for my yard. So it’s ever changing.”
Among the features that stand out are a dry creek, a pond, and winding steps to the top where a gazebo overlooks the yard below. The retaining walls are built from a product made of recycled car parts. There appears to be hundreds of them, with each weighing 180 pounds. The Chows have managed to use their old fireplace in the design.
Janet said she likes plants with big leaves as reminders of Hong Kong. She likes evergreens because of the colour they provide during the long winters here.
She said friends and neighbours told organizers of the tours about the yard. She said she didn’t know about the SHS competition until they came knocking on her door. She is flattered that her yard was selected as the winner.
“It’s really rewarding because you never know if you are doing a good thing or not because I am really not a grower. I just grow whatever I feel like.”
Bus tourThe SHS Bus Tour is on July 27. The
tickets are $20 for SHS members and $25 for non-members. The buses will be leav-ing from Lawson Heights Mall (southwest corner) at 1 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Reservations must be made before 5 p.m. on July 25. Call Marj at 306-249-1329 or Shirley at 306-382-4061 for more informa-tion.
Self-guided tourThe Chows’ garden will also be part of
the Nest Secret Garden Tour, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 10. The self-guided tour showcases gardens across the city. Garden tour passports are $12 and are available from Blossoms, Dutch Growers and An-thology. All proceeds go to Nest Saska-toon, a registered charity that helps refugee families settle in the city.

Laura Petrishen-Ha calls Saska-toon Blitz a “nerd fest” — and she’s proud of that descrip-
tion.Petrishen-Ha is the event director
and founder of Saskatoon Blitz, a pop culture, anime, science fiction, comic and gaming convention that caters to the so-called nerd and geek community. The event is growing in popularity, and is expected to attract about 3,000 people to Prairieland Park on July 26 and July 27.
Presented by Saskatoon Love Love Anime Group Inc. (SLLAG Inc.), the fourth annual Saskatoon Blitz will feature all-day anime screenings, panel presentations, exhibitors and special guests.
“We’ve got a full-fledged video game room. For the first year, we’re going to have gaming tournaments like some of the bigger gaming con-ventions,” said Petrishen-Ha.
This year’s special guests include Lauren Tom, a film and televi-sion actress whose voice work was featured on shows such as Futurama, King of the Hill and Teen Titans, and Sugar Lyn Beard, who is known for her work in Beyblade, Sailor Moon and Care Bears. Los Angeles-based actors Darrel Guilbeau and Chris-tine Marie Cabanos will also be in attendance.
Other special guests include illus-trator Mike Rooth, cosplay entrepre-neur Kay Pike and Carson Demmans and Jason Sylvestre, the authors of the book You Might Be From Sas-katchewan If.
In addition to participating in panel presentations, the conven-tion’s special guests will be signing autographs and taking part in photo shoots.
“You can get a picture with your favourite guest,” said Petrishen-Ha.
Petrishen-Ha is also “really excited” about the cosplay aspect of the event (cosplay is basically what it sounds like – people dress-ing up in costumes to represent their favourite characters or the charac-ters they feel that they resemble). Though it’s not a requirement to at-tend the event, Petrishen-Ha encour-
ages people to come in costume. “We’ve also got a costume contest
that 8th Street Books & Comics is looking after for us. They’re spon-soring it, so there will be some cool prizes,” she said.
“Basically, there’s three catego-ries. There’s best dressed, there’s best dressed group and then there’s also a skit component this year. So there’ll be some people in costumes playing their characters, so it should be pretty entertaining, I think, to watch.”
Petrishen-Ha has her costumes picked out for the two days of Sas-katoon Blitz; she will be wearing a Dragon Ball Z costume on July 26, while on July 27 she will dress up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
“It is definitely a place where you will see probably 90 per cent of ev-eryone will be in costume,” she said.
“Costumes are always encour-aged.”
Saskatoon Blitz’s roots go back to 2009, when Petrishen-Ha organized a smaller anime-focused event (anime is Japanese animation). Petrishen-Ha said she started Saskatoon Blitz because she’s “always been a bit of a geek,” and she’s a fan of anime, comic books, science fiction and games. Saskatoon Blitz grew out of her desire to gather with likeminded people.
“I found that there really wasn’t anything at the time in Saskatoon to kind of unite everybody together and to sort of build a community,” she said.
“I mean, yes, you could run into other people at the comic book shop, but you don’t really go up to strangers and start talking and being like, ‘Let’s hang out.’ So I created it because I wanted a space for every-body who likes those things to feel like they belong, but also to feel like they have someone they can talk to.”
Tickets for Saskatoon Blitz 2014 can be purchased at 8th Street Books & Comics, Amazing Stories, Collec-tor’s Edge Comics and Games, Col-lector’s Lane, Dragon’s Den Games, Next Level Game Exchange and Unreal City. For more information about the event, visit www.saskblitz.com.

The doors to The Bassment, home of the Saskatoon Jazz Society, don’t usually swing open during July and August.
But when Don Griffith, the society’s artistic director, found out Kyle Riabko was coming home for a visit, the temptation for two concerts on a single night was too much to resist.
Riabko, most recently the star of a Broad-way production, What’s It’s All About? Bacha-rach Reimagined, has a Bassment sellout guaranteed on July 25 at 8 p.m. and a second show, at 10:30 p.m., has now been added.
Riabko’s father, Mitch, a director with the jazz society, and Griffith have been talking for the last 18 to 20 months about creating a performance night for Riabko.
“I’ve known Kyle for about 10 years. He once opened for me on the festival stage,” said Griffith. “He’d be a remarkable catch for us at The Bassment, but because of his performing schedule in New York, it isn’t
always easy to book an artist with his talent. But when Kyle decided to come home for a holiday, his dad and I worked it out.”
Riabko will sing, play guitar and maybe play some piano.
Riabko, 26, appeared in the New York production of Spring Awakening in 2008, toured in the United States with it in 2009, and joined the production of Hair in 2010.
Then he created the Bacharach phenom, which might be considered a rearrangement of piano songs for the guitar.
“We were working on a musical project in the studio, I was in the vocal booth, he was in the piano booth, and there we were, ebbing and flowing together,” Riabko told the New York Times.
Riabko has been playing guitar since he was 10, began jamming at Bud’s on Broadway, and after turning professional, has toured with BB King, James Brown, John Mayer, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, Jason Mraz and Maroon 5.
Tickets are available in advance from the www.bassment.ca

It may be logistically impossible to hold an air show honouring veterans this year, but Brian Swidrovich is not
letting that hold him back from staging an event.
Swidrovich, the volunteer director of Canada Remembers Our Heroes, has or-ganized Picnic in the Park with Heroes for Aug. 9, noon to 4 p.m., at Herzberg Park behind Cardinal Leger School. The date is
also National Peacekeepers’ Day.The CROH group always does some
kind of event near the Sherbrooke home on Acadia, so it seemed to be the logical location.
“We can’t just go a year without doing something,” said Swidrovich in an inter-view.
“(But) with no budget and no time, it was hard to do something that could com-pete with the air show.”
However, the afternoon in the park
should still be entertaining, while allow-ing veterans to mingle with Saskatoon residents.
A parade of heroes will take place at 1 p.m., “recognizing the service and sacri-fice” of war veterans as well as police of-ficers, firefighters and others who risk their lives in the service in our community, said Swidrovich. Otherwise, formalities like speeches will be kept to a minimum.
There will also be entertainment, with 1940s era music; a barbecue hosted by 107
Spitfire cadets; and a 20-foot giant colour-ing book-style mural depicting military events and groups.
“Kids can colour this giant thing and learn about military history at the same time,” said Swidrovich.
He anticipates about 2,000 people may attend, and encourages families to bring picnics and shake hands with the veterans in attendance.
Swidrovich hopes the air show will return in 2015.

Question: We heard a lot about the Parkway Bridge/Traffic Bridge project this spring. Where are we in the construction process now?
Mayor Atchison: The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is just going out now. I believe there are many com-panies from around the world that would be interested in this project. It is the first of its kind in Canada that bundles two bridges and adjacent roadways into one major infrastructure project. This is the second P3 project for Saskatoon. The first was the new civic Operations Centre in the southwest. That’s where we’ll house the transit buses and move the city yards. We are the first city in Canada to have two P3 projects. After the City’s experts assess the Request for Qualifications, they will narrow it down to three companies. Those three companies will look at how they wish to design and build the bridges.
Let me talk about the Traffic Bridge for a moment. The new Traffic Bridge will be a bridge similar to what we currently have, but not exactly the same — sympathetic in design to what we have there today. It will have two wide lanes for vehicles, includ-ing emergency vehicles and buses and a three-metre wide lane on both sides for cyclists and pedestrians.
The companies may come up with different ideas for the design, so we’ll see. When we built Circle Drive South, I thought there was only one way to do the design and bridge. Turns out there are many different designs and methods, so we’ll have to see what the companies propose for the Parkway Bridge as well. There is a lot of innovation out there. After the companies bring us the designs and the City chooses three for the final design, those companies will go away and price their projects. The best price usually wins. That decision is still a few months away.
Question: The new police station of-ficially opened last week. What are your thoughts on it?
Mayor Atchison: This facility has a tremendous number of efficiencies built into it. We are going to save more than $1 million a year in rent alone because personnel are coming from at least 11 dif-ferent locations in the city. All our police vehicles will be parked underground. Officers won’t have to spend 20 minutes warming up vehicles in the winter, using up valuable time and gas. Everything is
ready to go. The detention area is com-
plete with video and audio recording. There is a state-of-the-art weapons training area so officers won’t have to drive out in the country to the range. So that will save time as well.
Question: I was downtown recently and put a toonie into a meter. It didn’t register any time. I wasn’t sure what to do. I had a pen and paper, so I left a note on my windshield.
What do you recommend in a case like this?
Mayor Atchison: It sounds like your reader did exactly what they should have done. Take and pen and paper and put a note on the windshield saying their money hadn’t gone through. The system we have now will not be the system we have in the future. The City is in the process of chang-ing right now. And before long you will be able to pay by coin, credit card, debit card, city pass and your smart phone. So you will have numerous options available to you.
Question: Would a commissionaire honour a note on a windshield?
Mayor Atchison: I can’t speak for each commissionaire, but I think most are understanding. Now if there was a note on every car on the block, that might be a dif-ferent story (laughing). I think in that case, the commissionaire would start writing tickets for everyone.
Question: Your Worship, thank you for all your hard work. My question is in regards to the naming of the new south bridge. How is that coming along? The bridge signs have been blank for some time now.
Mayor Atchison: The bridge is called the Circle Drive South Bridge. And right now it is fine the way it is. We have a lot of other work to do. The Parkway Bridge/Traffic Bridge project are two examples. So I would say this isn’t one of our high priorities. The No. 1 priority right now is making sure we have better roads in Saskatoon with the $50 million we are investing this year in roads, side-walks and back alleys. I appreciate your question, but it’s not right at the top of the list of things that need to be done.

Hi Reena,I recently read one of your
tips indicating that newspa-per can be used as compost. It was my understanding that only black and white newspaper should be used as compost. Please clarify. — Maureen
Dear Maureen,Like so many other topics
in this world, there is contro-versy that goes along with it. Composting is no exception. According to www.epa.gov/compost, the American government does not specify whether newspaper ink must be exclusively black. Many gardening experts agree that modern print ink is no longer toxic and, therefore, safe to use in gardens.
For maximum compost activity to occur, combinations of green (nitrogen) and brown (carbon) are recommended, but even the ratio of brown to green cannot be agreed upon. Therefore, experiment to make sure that the compost heats up properly. Newspaper falls under the category of brown compost matter, as do corn stalks, dry leaves and straw. Examples of green compost: grass clippings, coffee grounds and food scraps.
Dear Reena,I tried focaccia bread at an Italian
restaurant and loved it. What are the herbs used to flavour it? — Arial
Dear Arial,Focaccia is a wonderful alter-
native to garlic bread and pairs well with pasta dishes. In addi-tion to topping the bread with mushrooms, parmesan cheese, green or red onions and/or tomatoes, sprinkle one or more of the following herbs onto bread to give it bursts of flavour: rosemary, garlic, pepper, basil, oregano and/or salt.
Hello Reena,I need advice on a stubborn carpet
stain. The carpet is a medium beige co-lour and I found a dark stain on it under our couch. I do not know what the stain is, but it looks like cola, coffee or some other dark liquid was spilled. I tried cleaning it with a mixture of dish soap, vinegar and water, but after soaking and scrubbing, the stain is still there. It is a little bit lighter, but still obvious. Can you please help me? — Angie
Dear Angie,Here is a favourite formula from my first
book. I have changed the amounts some-what and used this formula many times for pet, food and plant stains. In my experience, no damage has ever occurred and the results
have surpassed any of the commercial cleaning agents. However, use at your own risk. You may want to test a small area of carpet before applying the recipe. Some stains are impossible, but coffee and cola are not difficult to remove.
Step 1: Mix together half-tsp. clear dish soap and one cup warm water. Blot (do not scrub) onto stain and leave for five minutes. Pat area dry using a white towel.
Step 2: Mix together one-half cup hy-drogen peroxide and 2 tbsp. ammonia. Dip white towel in solution and blot onto stain. Cover the stain with clear plastic wrap and weigh down with heavy books. Make sure that the books are not touching the carpet because if the book gets wet, the dye from the paper can seep onto the carpet. Leave 12 hours.
Step 3: Blot dry.Step 4: Blot with warm water and dry
two or three times.Step 5: Air dry.Step 6: When dry, blot with white vin-
egar and leave. The area should be a little wetter than damp, which means that you may need to double the recipe if the stain is large.
Feedback from Readers:I read your tips on s’mores with a twist.
Here’s what I do for an alternative to regu-lar s’mores. Take an ice cream cone and
fill it with mini marshmallows, peanuts and chocolate chips. Wrap the cone in alumi-num foil and hold it over a bonfire for less than a minute. Unwrap and eat! — Delores
This is what works for me to get rid of soap scum on shower curtains. Into a one-litre spray bottle combine: one quarter-cup liquid heavy-duty detergent (I use Gain be-cause I like the smell), and one quarter-cup white vinegar; fill with water. Leave bottle on tub edge and spray bottom of curtain (both sides) and tub after every shower. No need to rinse. — Helen
Fabulous Tips of the Week:I have discovered the magic of coconut
oil! It is truly amazing! During this time of year, face-painting booths are popular. The paint is difficult to wash off. I discovered last year that putting coconut oil on skin before applying makeup makes it easy to remove. It just wipes off. I am a hairstylist and just before rinsing darker colour/dye out of hair, I put coconut oil around the face to break up the staining that happens on the forehead and neck. There are countless other uses, but I had to share these. — Elizabeth

Kelly Crozier took dry ribs to a potluck dinner in December 2012. A year
later, he was selling them through his company, Kickers Foods Inc.
“I call it the happy accident,” Crozier said with a laugh. “We were doing some potluck dinners around Christmastime. I like to try different things and throw it out there. This time I happened to make some spiced up or flavoured dry ribs. And people re-ally liked them and asked if I could make them some. That’s where it started.”
When Kickers launched, the ribs were being produced in Crozier’s kitchen. One hundred ki-lograms of ribs were being made in two fryers.
“It got too insane. It was getting way too consuming and seven days a week.”
He put away the fryers and moved to the Food Centre at the University of Saskatchewan.
“I brought in my stuff and got a grant for de-veloping the products to where I wanted them to be. That is where they are produced now.”
From the Food Centre, he can produce 2,200 kilograms of ribs during a one-week run.
“The equipment is all federally regulated. They have CFI (Canadian Food Inspection) agents on site pretty much at all times. They come through and check the rooms before we start to make sure all the products we are using or the equipment we are using is appropriately cleaned.”
Crozier said he doesn’t sacrifice quality to make his ribs.
“We’ve all had ribs that we bought and you spend $10 or $15 and they are 90 per cent fat and bread. When I got into the development side, they said, ‘Oh, you’re paying too much for your meat. You should get a cheaper cut of meat.’ No, people
want to have real meat. They don’t want to be tasting just fat and gristle and breading.”
He said he loves experimenting with fla-vour.
“People are keen on the extra hot, and a little afraid of the hot honey garlic at first – until they try it,” he said. “It is not as though we are out to blow people away with heat. That is not what Kickers is about. We have good balances between flavour and, if there is some heat, it is not obnoxious to the point where you can’t enjoy it.
“I love a little bit of heat in food. But I think we have all had that experience where you go to a bar and you order the hot wings and you can’t even finish them because there is straight cayenne thrown on them. And that’s not enjoyable. Yeah, you can do it. There has to be a good balance between the quality of the product. I think people will tolerate more heat if the flavour is there.”
With six varieties of ribs, he said there are also choices for people who don’t want to bring on the heat.
Kickers are currently available in 18 loca-tions, including the farmers’ market and Shop Easy on Seventh Avenue North in Saskatoon. They are also available at several restaurants.
“Restaurants are hit and miss because a lot of the restaurants and bars want fast – four minutes in and out – so they tend to use oil to create that. You can’t put these ribs in oil. It just kills the flavour and the coating.”
Crozier started selling his ribs at the farm-ers’ market at the beginning of the year. He said it was a perfect place to introduce his product because of the instant feedback when custom-ers try a sample.
“It’s a fairly unique product. It’s something you really have to get people to try. And once they try it they have that wow phase, and I love that. I love when people try it for the first time and they are thinking, ‘Yeah, yeah, just another dry rib. Whatever.’ They pop it in their mouth and go, ‘Oh my, it’s good.’
“Those are the kinds of things that are exciting. That is how I primarily got it started with all the stores. I just went and dropped off samples. (I said), ‘No commitment. Just try it out; tell me what you think. If you want to talk, we will talk further.’ ”
Crozier is pleased with the response. A couple of weeks ago he experimented with three pulled pork varieties and a brisket. He used patrons of the farmers’ market as his beta group.
“I’m having fun with it, growing it,” he said. “It’s growing faster than I expected. We’re pretty much on track for our financial goals for the year.”
Kickers is at the farmers’ market on Satur-days and Sundays. For more information, email [email protected] or search for Kickers Foods Inc. on Facebook.

By RJ Currie• A basenji is an online sen-
sation for pawing on a piano’s keys while “singing.” Its three favourite songs: 3. MacAr-thur’s Bark; 2. Three Dressed Up as a Canine; 1. A Bone Again, Naturally.
• In 2009 WTA star Simona Halep had surgery to have her 34DD breasts reduced. Or as they say in tennis, she dropped a set.
• It’s the 25th anniversary of Field of Dreams, where Shoe-less Joe Jackson said he missed “the smell of the grass.” In a related story, Rangers catcher Geovany Soto was arrested for marijuana possession.
• Officials at Los Angeles Airport say they seized 67 gi-ant African snails that arrived from Nigeria illegally. I’m guessing the chase was over quickly.
• What’s the big deal about NBA star Pao Gasol signing with Chicago? He’ll just be another Spaniard running with the Bulls.
• Amateur golfer John Singleton, a factory worker who makes plastic coatings for electronic cables, qualified for the British Open in a sudden-death playoff. So it came down to the wire.
• Media speculation has the
L.A. Dodgers trading outfielder Matt Kemp. On the upside, they free up over $100 million in cap space. The downside? They’ll look unkempt.
• Free-agent receiver Arland Bruce is suing the CFL over adverse effects from a 2012 concussion. Trying to get money from the CFL proves he needs his head examined.
• Brooklyn’s NBA team reportedly had a $144-million deficit last season. Talk about a Net loss.
• A Vermont firm is selling a toaster that enables users to burn a picture of themselves onto every slice. If ever there was a gift idea for Richard Sherman or Brian Burke.
• The N.Y. Post says Derek Jeter is part owner of a men’s skivvies brand known as the “Tempur-Pedic banana hammock.” Ironically for the Yankees slugger, it prevents swinging.
• Reuters reports a Ugandan tortoise is believed to have been shot to death by an off-duty police officer. A shell was found at the scene.
• John McEnroe’s son Kevin was busted trying to buy cocaine and prescription pills from a dealer. When arrested, he screamed, “You cannot be serious!”
• A Saskatchewan talking head was lamenting the injury to Chris Getzlaf and the departures of Weston Dressler and Geroy Simon: “The Riders don’t have as many tools in their toolbox,” he said. I’ll tell you this: the Stampeders aren’t short on tools.
• From Torben Rolfsen: “Which-ever American League team hosts Game 1 of the World Series should get Adam Wainwright to throw out the first pitch.”
• Janice Hough, on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie saying that on a “case-by-case” basis, his state may consider housing some of the de-tained immigrant children: “Makes sense; have them spend some time in New Jersey and they may go racing back home.”
• I’m thinking Mike Duffy’s daughter must be so proud of him.
• TC Chong, on the Super-Bowl champion Seahawks bringing their “12th Man” tour to Vancouver: “To their dismay, most of the locals showed up wearing No. 11 jerseys due to the exchange rate.”
• Bill Littlejohn, on Roger Federer and Lindsey Vonn playing a tennis match atop a glacier in the Swiss Alps: “Federer was supposed to play Maria Sharapova, but of-ficials worried her grunting would have triggered an avalanche.”
• Nice that some members of the Sask. media took the Roughriders to task for the silliness of benching run-ning backs after they fumble. Just so
coach Chamblin knows, one of the leading fumblers of all time is Walter Payton. I like to think his coaches didn’t humiliate him.
• Hough, on the Cleveland Browns planning to use a live bullmastiff as their mascot this fall: “Of course Browns fans are hoping the real dog doesn’t turn out to be Johnny Manziel.”
• How could Rhonda Rousey have been the winner of the ESPY award for the top female athlete? Isn’t she the only female performer in the UFC? This is like naming Ste-phen Harper the top prime minister in Canada.
• I’m thinking anybody could be a defensive coordinator in the CFL. “What do you want to do, Coach?” “Let’s blitz.” “How many guys, Coach?” “All of ’em.”
• Littlejohn, on the Yankee Stadium suite for Jeter’s final home game going for $244,000: “Why the discount?”
• Rolfsen, on photos showing a sparse crowd at Rogers Centre just before the Argos-Stamps kickoff: “I guess Calgary fans don’t travel while the Stampede is on.”
• Why do so many people seem to dislike Tim Williams?
• Additional info for the previous item: Tim Williams is the trivago.com guy.
• Hough, on cornerback Jimmy Smith being arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly con-duct: “Smith is the fifth Raven to be
arrested this off-season. How long until Baltimore changes its team colour to orange?”
• Rolfsen, on North Korea’s state-controlled media reporting they have made it to the World Cup final against Portugal: “Also citizenship was fast-tracked, so LeBron James has joined the country’s basketball team.”
• People tell an average of 57,000 lies in their lives. I’m thinking Rob Ford has used his quota and is bor-rowing from the Dalai Lama.
• Hough, on a West Seattle man deciding to kill a spider with a can of spray paint and a lighter: “He man-aged to set his house on fire, causing about $60,000 in damages. And once again somewhere Darwin is saying, ‘Missed it by that much.’” • Baseball stats at the All-Star break: Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals): 123 at bats, two home runs, 11 RBIs; Madison Bumgarner (San Francisco Giants): 40 at bats, three home runs, 12 RBIs. Oh yes, Bumgarner is a pitcher.
• Hough, on Alabama and USC kicking off the 2016 college football season with a game at AT&T Sta-dium in Arlington, Texas: “It will be the first regular-season meeting in almost 40 years between two of the NCAA’s highest paid teams.”
• From Rolfsen: “Bud Selig is retiring from baseball to become the president of the Hair Club for Men.”
• Right now, I’ve never wanted any-thing more than a Joseph Abboud suit.

It was mid-May, back when it felt like summer in Saskatoon was never going to arrive,
when the dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Saskatchewan was fired.
The day before, Robert Buck-ingham had gone public with a memo he allegedly wrote (despite the fact Janice MacKinnon’s name appears on the PDF’s metadata as author), melodramatically entitled Silence of the Deans, in which he decries what he says was the op-pression of academic freedom of speech by then U of S president Ilene Busch-Vishniac.
The document was first (to the best of what I can ascertain from researching the timeline) released through the Saskatch-ewan NDP during Question Period at the legislature. Within hours, the media had a copy, and the story was perfect fodder for that evening’s news.
In an astoundingly lampoonish move, one that could have been ripped right out of the script of a Van Wilder movie, less than 24 hours after announcing his views about school, the quirky but likeable freedom-fighting, bow-tied professor was unceremo-niously frog-marched off campus.
Anyway, you know all of this already. The whole embarrassing saga was splashed across Canadian media outlets, apologies were doled out and provost Brett Fairbairn’s head rolled in penance. A week later Buck-ingham was reinstated as professor, though not as a dean, and shortly after that a defiant Busch-Vishniac was fired.
Briefly, we had some respite from hav-ing to hear about the whole sordid mess. Then Busch-Vishniac and Fairbairn were back with a vengeance last week with the leak of another, similarly soap-operaish memo penned by Fairburn entitled “How It Happened — What I Know.” How are these people not writing for Days of Our Lives?
With the second leak we were subjected to another stretch of days and days of sa-lacious headlines blaring the U of S professors’ union outrage, and refreshing us on the overall glaring faults of the institution. It was an interesting editorial decision, given that the stories were highly parcelled and, in my mind, drawn out, including news about an appeal filed by the school regarding the presi-dent’s power to veto any tenure
application he or she sees fit. That said, with the number of headaches
the U of S board of governors has had to deal with lately, I’m not sure why they would choose this as a hill to die on. Tenure applications are reviewed by a committee, then submitted through the university’s president to the board of governors, which
makes the final decision. The catch is that the president has the power to file any tenure application they like in the garbage, effectively making the decision for every-body all by themselves.
Let’s say the president cannot veto any application anymore, as an arbitrator determined prior to the appeal. Instead, he or she submits all of the tenure applications to the board (whose job is to rubber stamp the application, make no mistake), and then requests an in-camera meeting with them to advise who should receive tenure and who should not. No one gets hurt, the president still holds the reins and overall responsibil-ity for what is a huge financial commitment by the university. And most importantly for the U of S right now, the optics are virtually seamless.
Here’s what I know for sure. None of this is going to impact enrolment at the U of S. Of the approximately 21,000 students
at the school, just under 90 per cent of them are domestic. I’d take that a step further and venture that 90 per cent of the domestic students are from Saskatchewan. We attend the U of S because it’s close to home, and because it’s what our friends are doing. The college experience is a thing of the past, with more and more young people opting to live at home with mom and dad, and go to school nearby.
More important than enrolment, howev-er, is the question of whether all this drama will impact the quality of the education received by the students. This is an interest-ing issue, because while I’m confident it won’t have a negative effect, students may analyze and process their relationships with the teachers and the administration differ-ently based on the perception that there are nefarious dealings afoot behind the scenes.
We’ll leave that to the Department of Psychology to figure out.

Darren Anderson believes he has found the recipe
for success with his new downtown restaurant, CUT Casual Steak & Tap.
It’s about offering “something for ev-eryone” in a “dynamic space,” said Ander-son, who serves as the restaurant’s general manager. People can come into the eatery wearing a business suit or shorts and a T-shirt and still feel like they fit in. And the extensive menu, with various price points, is sure to delight carnivores and vegetar-ians alike.
“Comfort was probably our biggest vi-sion,” Anderson said of CUT Casual Steak & Tap, which opened at the end of March on 21st Street East, in the space previously occupied by Tusq Restaurant and Staqatto Piano Bar.
The time was right to open CUT Casual Steak & Tap, said Anderson. The “extreme growth of the city over the past, probably, 10 to 15 years” was taken into consid-eration, as well as the closure of John’s Prime Rib & Steak House on the opposite side of 21st Street East.
While meat-and-potato dishes continue to be popular in Saskatchewan, the restau-rant has incorporated “a little twist” into its menu to “kind of integrate the health fac-tor, too, because people more so now, than ever, are health conscious,” said Anderson.
“We do have an unreal selection of steaks, but then we have a lot of vegetarian options and gluten-free options and salad options. In this first three months it’s been, actually, a nice mix, and we’ve had a very wide-ranging demographic come through the doors,” he said.
CUT Casual Steak & Tap, which is located on two levels, was given a redesign after Tusq and Staqatto closed. The upstairs restaurant now features some local photo art and has a “more rustic feel,” said Ander-son.
“It’s been great. I’m surprised how many families we get coming through here,” he said.
Meanwhile, the downstairs lounge, called ½ CUT, features a variety of seat-ing options — including booths, stand-up tables and a couch area. The bar has been moved to the centre of the room “so it’s more of a focal point,” Anderson said. Both lunch and dinner are available at ½ CUT.
The changes to the lounge have been a hit with customers.
“The big thing with people coming in is they’re very surprised with what we did to the lounge — in a good way,” said Anderson.
After initially launching the dinner and lunch menus, the restaurant’s management listened to customer feedback. Now the lunch menu has grown and incorporates some lighter fare, such as wraps, stir fries and salads.
“I’m actually quite excited about the lunch menu. The dinner menu didn’t really need to change,” said Anderson, noting suppertime diners can still feast on steak, vegetarian dishes, pork, chicken, pasta and more.
The menu also lists a variety of starter options, including seafood-stuffed mush-rooms, mini prime rib sliders, crab cakes, prawns and scallops. Anderson said he’s pleased with the menu and the talent of the chefs, Shawn Kessler and James Ashton.
“The quality coming out of the kitchen
has been fantastic,” he said.In addition to a wide variety of food
options, CUT Casual Steak & Tap offers a “fun cocktail list” and “a great wine list,” said Anderson. Another unique aspect of the restaurant is its wine club.
“In the lower level, we’re just finishing our wine cellar room. That’s where a lot of the wine functions will be held, and actu-ally wine lockers are located in there.”
Anderson is certainly no stranger to the restaurant business. He got his start in the hospitality industry in 1989, when he worked at the Patricia Hotel while attend-ing university. Since then, he has been involved with more than 10 restaurants and bars, including helping to open Beily’s on Eighth Street in 2004.
In addition, Anderson has worked in
communications and marketing and in the mining industry, as well as given his time to numerous charitable committees.
Anderson said he loves taking on a challenge, and he’s excited about his new venture. So far, running the restaurant has been going well, and customers are re-sponding positively to the space, the food and the employees.
“We get so many compliments on how genuine our staff is,” Anderson said.
CUT Casual Steak & Tap is located at 416 21st St. East. It is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from noon to 11 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call 306-954-4222, email [email protected] or go online to www.cutcasualsteak.com.

If you’re driving through the Rosewood neighbourhood, be sure to check out the latest
Jastek-built showhome at 366 Pichler Cres.
This two-storey showpiece delivers a sparkling 1,605 square feet of living space.
A panorama of maple hard-wood flooring in the living room and kitchen adds a flavour of el-egance to the spacious layout. The main-floor laundry and powder room deliver functionality to the floor plan.
Standard for this home is hardwood flooring, porcelain tiling and in-floor heating in the bathrooms. In the kitchen, there are quartz countertops, nifty Blum garage-door-style aluminum-framed glass cabinet doors and a pantry. The micro-wave, stove and refrigerator are included.
Off the kitchen, garden doors lead to a future backyard deck.
All three bedrooms are located on the second floor. The master suite features a walk-in closet and shower-equipped en
suite. The family bathroom is also located on this level.
The showhome incorporates a fin-ished basement, complete with a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. With its private entrance, developers say the basement could easily become a legal suite as a possible source of extra revenue for the home owner.
With the attached double garage, the price for this model begins at $439,900. It is open for viewing Tuesday to Thursday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. It is open Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
This Jastek-built showhome is located at 366 Pichler Cres. (Photos by Peter Wilson)

Saskatoon in the summer time. If there is a better place on Earth, I am not
sure where it would be. The weather is wonderful;
our windows are open; the air is alive with the sounds of birds and music in our parks. While many head to the lake or hit the open road for a family vacation, the appeal of a stay-cation in our amazing city gets stronger every year.
Through the efforts of many dedicated volunteers during the last few decades, there is hardly a moment from June to September when there is not an interesting event happening somewhere in town.
It was not always this way. In the not-too-distant past, the city emptied out on the last day of school and residents begrudg-ingly returned the last week of summer break to get geared up for the fall routine. Those that worked downtown enjoyed the riverbank during their lunch breaks and the Kinsmen Park kids’ area was always busy, but otherwise things were pretty quiet. The annual exhibition was the biggest event of the summer.
This lack of activity was hard on local businesses. Hotels had their highest vacancy rates of the year, restaurants weren’t full and retail stores were slow. Surely, something could be done.
Through the dedication and hard work of many volunteers, things began to happen. Folkfest was established in 1979, Shake-speare on the Saskatchewan in 1985, the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival in 1987, and the
Fringe in 1989. These, and many more, have grown immensely over the years and are all successful events today.
With such an amazing riverbank to work with, there were other options and ideas considered, too.
“In 1991, The Partnership assembled a team of more than 1,000 volunteers to put together an ambitious internationally televised Formula 1 tunnel boat race on the South Saskatchewan River. These hard-working volunteers wanted to celebrate water sports in Saskatoon in a way that would capture the interest of boat enthu-siasts from around the world. Initially, the event was financially underwritten by The
Partnership, but moved to an independent not-for-profit organization within four years. Due to the loss of a major sponsor, the event was lost to Saskatoon in 2005,” said Kent Smith-Windsor, then executive director of The Partnership, and now of the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce.
The Canada Remembers Air Show is another example of a national event that Saskatoon has birthed, nurtured and lost, but this has not stopped volunteers from continuing to generate new ideas and excitement.
A recent example is the Fireworks Festival, sponsored by PotashCorp. Held at the end of August each year, it was established in 2008. By 2011 it was draw-ing a crowd of well over 50,000 people. Of those, 13.5 per cent were from out of town, generating an estimated $697,106 in hotel revenue alone. Impact on the local economy for the two-day event was esti-mated at $1.3 million that year.
“Average daily expenditures for ‘cultur-al enthusiasts’ that travel to attend events such as these are 15 per cent to 20 per cent higher than typical leisure travellers. They spend around $85 million annually, about 16 per cent of all traveller expenditures in Saskatoon. Their average stays are also
longer at 2.24 nights per person,” said Todd Brandt, president and CEO of Tour-ism Saskatoon. “Food and beverage, retail and accommodations are the big winners in this market segment.”
No longer are hotels vacant during the summer. Convention business, entertainment and tourism have impacted the city such that eight new hotels are currently being built to meet the demand. This is not only creating significant expenditures and employment in the local construction industry, but will mean many jobs going forward as well.
Saskatoon’s cultural events are well attended due to our growing population, and the impressive number of out-of-town visitors that they generate. The social ben-efits are tremendous, increasing our quality of life and the enjoyment of our city. The economic benefits are impressive as well, with job security and financial stability for many of our local businesses.
Saskatoon is a lively, vibrant city in the summer and this is good for all of us — festival goers and businesses alike.

BETTYGIBBONColumnist
Don’t let bedgo to the dog
Dear Lianne, I met a great gal, and things have been going swell. However, she has a chocolate lab that sleeps in the bed. The way I was raised, pets are for the outdoors. I am OK with her dog in the house, but there ain’t no way I’m sharing a bed with a four-legged mutt. What do you suggest? — Bernie
Dear Bernie, Talk with her, and let her know how you feel about all three of you sharing a bed. I would suggest offering to buy the dog a nice dog bed and ask her to consider starting to train the dog to sleep on it. You can teach an old dog new tricks!
Dear Lianne, My guy friend Roger gave me his gold chain to take to have professionally cleaned. I did that and lost it after it was cleaned. I ac-cidentally threw it out thinking the bag was empty. Each time he brings it up, I change the subject. What am I going to do? This is caus-ing me terrible anxiety. I know I can’t keep avoiding it. — Heather
Dear Heather, You did say he is your friend. Accidents hap-pen. If he is a true friend, he will appreciate your honesty and work with you to resolve it. If you can afford to replace it, I would ask him if he would be comfortable with that. Worrying about spilled milk or a lost chain is not going to change the outcome. It’s time to fess up. You will feel much better.
(I will be in Saskatoon interviewing new cli-ents from July 22 to July 25, and Aug. 19 to Aug. 22. Call 1-204 888-1529 to book your appoint-ment. Questions for this column can be submit-ted to [email protected].)
