Natasha Vandenhurk does not seem to be fazed by much. Along
with her partners, she has founded a company, appeared on CBC-TV’s Dragon’s Den, launched several products and doubled and tripled sales over the last two years.
Yet the CEO of Three Farm-ers was somewhat amazed when the Saskatchewan Cham-ber of Commerce announced that her company was the win-ner of this year’s ABEX, or achievement in business excellence, environment award.
“I was actually very surprised. I was not expecting that,” she said in a recent inter-view. “Obviously, that is one of the pillars of our brand, is our sustainable agriculture.
“It was not one of the categories we (were) focused on. We thought we were more geared to the young entrepreneur side of things. The other companies we were up against . . . their entire company is based on the environment and being environmentally friendly, whereas that’s just one facet of who we are.”
Vandenhurk and her sister Elysia, COO of Three Farmers and a Red Seal chef, are the front-end management of Three Farmers. The farmers in the company name are the sisters’ father, Dan, and his neighbours Ron Emde and Colin Rosen-gren. Three Farmers’ first and flagship product is camelina oil, which is unique for its omega-3 content and stability.
The Vandenhurk sisters achieved more than 15 minutes
of fame when they appeared on Dragon’s Den two years ago, accepting an offer from Arlene Dickinson. While the deal ultimately did not close — Three Farm-ers decided it wasn’t willing to part with that much of the company — the exposure that resulted from the TV appearance was significant. Almost as important, says Van-denhurk, was the due diligence experience, which “leapfrogged” the company from the hopes and dreams phase to being fo-cused on financials. The Vandenhurks will appear in an update episode on Nov. 26.
“Obviously that national exposure does
wonders for your brand,” said Vandenhurk. “We had worked hard; we did a lot of planning around that episode. We initially auditioned in 2010 and we actually made the cut. We had a tape date, but we phoned them and we cancelled because we just knew we weren’t ready.
“We spent the next year adding flavours, so we had our original and our two flavours, and built our store listing across the country. Elysia and I just banged on doors from On-tario west. We gained about 150 retailers, so we weren’t just in 10 retailers; we were in 150 and had room to grow.
“When we aired we were in the midst of partnering with a couple of distributors, so the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.”
At the time, Three Farmers was operat-ing out of Vandenhurk’s Saskatoon home, which was dominated by boxes of prod-uct that soon took over the garage. The company has since moved into the same building as InfraReady Foods.
“We spend the majority of 2013 riding that wave, getting our product into as many stores as possible, and building re-ally strong relationships with our distribu-
tors and retailers.“With our camelina oil it has always
been a struggle, the education component of it. We were first to market with it in Canada, so it’s been a product that requires a ton of education, and that requires a very large marketing budget, something that we do not have.”
The ABEX award was a great oppor-tunity for Vandenhurk to expand on the education file.
“I mentioned in my acceptance speech . . . that there’s a definite lack of under-standing out there as to what sustainable agriculture actually is. It’s a huge problem – it’s a growing problem, because food is something that affects all of us each and every day of our lives. The people who are driving education behind agriculture seem to be retailers and distributors. They’re not on the front lines of growing. It should be the farmers driving that conversation and driving that education.
“That’s not what we’re seeing. There is a growing disconnect between farming and urban centres and consumers. It’s creating large problems out there.

We collect used eyeglasses!
I am the poster child for impaired driving. And I didn’t have a drink.
Please let me explain.Last week I was outfitted at Merlin
Ford Lincoln with weights, goggles and headphones that simulated a night of heavy boozing. I was put through what would be basic roadside tests.
“That was pretty much a good fail,” RCMP Const. Elmer Russell said after I attempted two of the tests. “That would be an awe-some fail as far as our standards are concerned. You couldn’t focus; you couldn’t walk. You didn’t get more than two
steps away. As far as intoxication level, you would be quite impaired.”
And all I had to drink before the test was a glass of orange juice.
My first task was weaving my way through four pylons on the showroom floor.
“You hit three out of four pylons, so you couldn’t focus on where the pylons were. You couldn’t see where to go to avoid them. . . . And with the lack of mobility with your limbs and your motor control, you kept pushing the pylons along and not noticing you were hitting the pylons. This equates to the same situ-ation where a person gets into a car ac-cident intoxicated behind the wheel and doesn’t know they caused the accident.”
The second task was to walk in a straight line.
I couldn’t put my left foot in front of my right. I was literally stuck in place. I was teetering. I would have been cuffed and taken straight to jail. And right-fully so. It’s an inexact science, but my
alcohol level likely was in the .20 to .30 ballpark. I woke up with one heck of a hangover the next morning.
“We get a lot in the same state you were in with that gear on. And some-times it’s even worse.”
Sadly Const. Russell was talking about real life. I can make light of my experience, but Const. Russell patrols our highways, trying to eradicate as many drunk drivers as he can.
“It is a staggering fact that probably one out of every 25 cars on the road today does have a full-blown impaired driver behind the wheel. Studies have shown one in 12 cars on a regularly travelled highway may have a driver be-tween .04 and .08. The numbers are out there, and people don’t realize to what extent. The ultimate goal we try to push is if you are going to drink, don’t drive.”
How many times do we have to hear that before we listen?
Const. Russell was impressed with the Ford technology used for the test.
“This is fantastic. It is a typical por-trayal of exactly what we see out there sometimes.”
Collin Anderson, general sales manager of Merlin Ford Lincoln, said Ford partnered with a scientific team in Germany to develop what they call the impairment suit.
“Merlin Ford Lincoln was asked to
be a member of this by having the suit make a stop at our dealership and we were more than happy to be involved. The slogan Ford is travelling across North America with the suit sums it up: ‘Feel how you should never feel when you are behind the wheel.’ ”
While I was at the dealership, a number of employees also took the test. None failed as miserably as I did, but certainly none should have been driving. With four sets of goggles, I am wonder-ing if I got the super drunk person ones.
With holiday season approaching, Const. Russell said there will be a no-ticeable increase in enforcement.
“It’s time to start tightening it down as far as the enforcement aspect is concerned. We are going to do more enforcement projects. There will be increased patrols. There will be focused patrols. There will be inter-agency cooperation with Saskatoon Police Service and even transport compliance, where we go out and we set up check stops where we check people for drunk driving.”
He said arresting drunk drivers isn’t just seasonal.
“Our focus year-round on the highways now is impaired driving. The ultimate goal, at the end of the day, is to save lives.”
Amen.

Joel Frey’s journey with Crohn’s dis-ease began more than a decade ago.
At the time, he was a seemingly healthy 21-year-old studying engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. Then he began experiencing symptoms such as weight loss, pain and bleeding.
A colonoscopy exam revealed that Frey had Crohn’s disease, which, along with ulcerative colitis, is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes symptoms such as abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, fever, anemia and fatigue.
“I got sick really fast, and also my fam-ily history kind of pointed at this is what’s going on,” said Frey, who has relatives with inflammatory bowel disease.
“I struggled probably for a solid year before I had any kind of remission.”
Frey tried numerous medications to alleviate his symptoms, but he eventually “ran out of options.” In 2007, he became so ill that he required emergency surgery to remove some of his bowel. However, he couldn’t immediately get the surgery, and instead spent two weeks in the hospital on painkillers and steroids with a feeding tube in his chest.
His weight dipped to a dangerous 140 pounds. Today he weighs about 230.
“I didn’t find out until after — of course they told my parents this; they didn’t tell me — was that they were waiting to do the surgery to fatten me up and get the inflam-mation down because they didn’t think I’d survive the surgery I needed,” he said.
But Frey did survive, and he is now a healthy 33-year-old engineer with a doc-torate degree. While Frey’s recovery was slow, today he feels healthy. He has also been medication-free since 2010.
“It’s been relatively quiet,” he said of his disease.
“There’s the odd flare up — little things that don’t even qualify. There might be a week where I have some stomach issues. I try to eat a gluten-free diet.”
While Frey is doing “really well” now, he looks back at his earlier experience with Crohn’s disease as a scary time.
“It changes the way you look at almost everything when you go through that level of being in the hospital for over a month and finding out, when you get out, they weren’t entirely sure you were ever leav-ing,” he said.
After his diagnosis, Frey started to connect with other people whose lives had been touched by inflammatory bowel disease.
He became active in the Saskatoon chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, a patient organization with dozens of volunteer chapters located throughout the country. It is also the nation’s largest non-governmental funder of Crohn’s and colitis research.
Over the years, Frey, who is currently the Saskatoon chapter’s volunteer coor-dinator, has dedicated a lot of time and energy to raising awareness of inflam-matory bowel disease. For example, he was instrumental in starting the chapter’s Newly Diagnosed education nights in 2006, during which patients can learn more about their condition and meet oth-ers facing similar struggles.
“That was something we actually won an award for here, because we were the
first place in Canada to do them, and then we helped them start up in other places like Winnipeg and Regina,” Frey said.
Frey’s hard word has not gone un-noticed by others. On Nov. 8, he was honoured during a national Crohn’s and Colitis Canada event in Toronto, where he was named the 2014 recipient of the Finkelstein Award. The award is present-ed annually to a person “who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of inflammatory bowel disease,” accord-ing to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.
While Frey was pleased to receive the award, he gives much of the credit to “the amazing people” around him who have supported the chapter’s activities. If there’s a silver lining to getting Crohn’s disease, he said, it’s been getting to
know them.“It’s cool to be chosen and stuff, but
I think the more meaningful thing to me was that the chapter here nominated me, that people I work closely with said, ‘You deserve this,’ ” said Frey. “That was pretty awesome.”
Saskatoon chapter president Nicholas McCormick, who also has Crohn’s dis-ease, said Frey has been integral to the success of the chapter.
Like Frey, McCormick knows how important it is to connect with others who have been affected by inflammatory bowel disease. And like Frey, McCor-mick has experienced the life-altering symptoms that Crohn’s disease can cause, such as drastic weight loss.

(Continued from page 1)“To get the environmental award, it meant that much
more to us that we’re getting our message across. We’re a company that believes in sustainable agriculture; we’re doing things a little bit differently in terms of growing, and people are recognizing that. So that’s awesome.”
NEW PRODUCT, MORE GROWTHThree Farmers has recently added to its repertoire, build-
ing on the camelina oil product, which comes in original, roasted onion and basil, and roasted garlic and chili.
In August, the company’s roasted chickpea snacks hit the market. Three Farmers has five flavours formulated, but thus far have launched two — barbecue, and bal-samic and cracked pepper — due to limited production capacity. The next flavour to launch, likely in March, will be sea salt and lime. There is also a maple flavour for corporate gift sets.
“That’s our goal in the next month is to ramp up production, so that we can bring that home here to Saskatoon. Right now we’re doing it in Winnipeg,” said Vandenhurk. “(Producing in Saskatoon) saves kilometres in transit and we’re a Saskatchewan-based company, so we want to do as much work here as we can.”
Vandenhurk says 2014 has been a year of discovery for the company, including launching a new website and an expanded brand identity. The brand has four pillars: value-added agriculture, natural and sustainable products, healthy and wholesome foods, and traceable growing.
“All of the products that we launch have to be able to meet those four criteria.”
The company has since grown to include three to five full-time staff, an outside marketing team and 20 casual representatives across the county for demonstrations and trade shows. Sales tripled in the year after Dragon’s Den, then doubled, and will grow about 30 per cent this year.
Three Farmers’ camelina oils can now be found in 900 stores. In Saskatchewan, they are stocked in specialty shops like SaskMade, Dad’s, Nutter’s, independent gro-cery stores and Co-op locations.
Three Farmers was among several Saskatoon-based winners at the ABEX awards, including M.D. Ambu-lance, which was inducted into the Saskatchewan Cham-ber’s Hall of Fame. The ABEX awards were announced Nov. 1 in Regina.

(Continued from page 3)After medication failed to manage his condition,
McCormick received surgery in 2012, which he calls a “life saver.” Since then, he has been feeling bet-ter physically. However, as a social work student at the University of Regina, he is also keenly aware that patients with life-long conditions like inflamma-tory bowel disease can also experience mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, as a result of their diagnosis. He wants to offer support to other patients who may be looking for more information or who may be going through a difficult time, and he co-hosts the Saskatoon chapter’s Newly Diagnosed education nights as a result.
“It creates a new normal, getting a diagnosis. That’s always what I find,” said McCormick.
“I really believe that education is like a form of empowerment. You become your own best expert. You need to know your body, how it acts and what it needs.”
“Information’s probably the most powerful thing you can have when it comes to this,” said Frey.
Both Frey and McCormick hope a cure for inflam-matory bowel disease can be found soon, and they’re helping the Saskatoon chapter raise funds for necessary research. Statistics show one in every 150 Canadians is living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, which is one of the highest rates of inflammatory bowel disease in the world. According to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, the number of new cases of Crohn’s disease in Canadian children has nearly doubled since 1995. Males and females are equally affected by inflammatory bowel disease. While people can be diagnosed at any age, many are diagnosed by the age of 30.
“If you talk to people, everybody knows somebody who has it,” said Frey.
“So it’s out there, but people don’t talk about it that much.”
November is Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Month, and Crohn’s and Colitis Canada has launched its nation-al “Make It Stop. For Life.” awareness campaign. The national campaign can be seen and heard across numer-ous platforms, including television, radio and print.
There are also a number of activities taking place in the city this month.
The Saskatoon chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada will hold its annual fall fundraiser on Nov. 16 at the Western Development Museum. The event, called Let’s Do Brunch!, will feature a craft sale and entertainment at 10 a.m. and a buffet brunch at 11 a.m. In addition, there will be door prizes, live and silent auctions, free admission to the museum’s Boomtown area and more. Admission is through ad-vance tickets, which are $30 each or $10 for children 10 and under. Children three and under are free. To purchase tickets, visit www.crohnsandcolitis.ca/letsdobrunch or email [email protected].
The Saskatoon chapter will also hold its next New-ly Diagnosed education night on Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Safeway Pharmacy in University Heights, located at 1860 McOrmond Dr. To RSVP, call 306-664-4420 or email [email protected].
In addition, Crohn’s and Colitis Canada will hold its 2014 Fall Patient Education Symposia on Nov. 29 at the Saskatoon Inn and Conference Centre, located at 2002 Airport Dr. To attend the free education event, which will focus on the latest in research and manag-ing one’s diagnosis, register online at www.crohn-sandcolitis.ca/education or call 1-800-387-1479.

It started out as a search for an office space. Now, it’s turned into something so much more.
Mike Payne and Taylor Pfeifer are what you might call dreamers. The owners of the marketing company Fancy see possi-bilities in the mundane and make some-thing happen. There is no better example of this than their latest project, Wallstreet Common.
Tired of using coffee shops as meeting places, the two young entrepreneurs were looking for a creative space to call home.
“It’s nice to bring your client some-where, to have that physical space and familiar spot where you can develop and collaborate,” said Payne. “We really love the concept of co-working, collaborating with your business neighbours and enhanc-ing that feeling of collectiveness.”
The duo stumbled across an old build-ing and, as habit would have it, started to dream. With burnt exposed brick, stunning original hardwood and planked ceilings, the space oozes creativity and possibility. Before it went up for lease, it was decided the building was going to be their new home. Its name? Wallstreet Common.
“It all fell into place,” said Pfeifer. “We partnered with Thomas Andres at C4 Construction, who was one of our original clients. We drew inspiration from so many co-working spaces around the world. There are so many more than I had imagined.”
The building, which is still under construction, has a tentative opening date in December. C4 Construction is hard at work ensuring that the design meets every possible need of the business community.
Wallstreet Common features custom-built office spaces, open concept areas for co-workers, lounges, meeting rooms, a kitchen and even bike storage, among other physical features. It is conveniently located on Wall Street, across from the new police station, in the heart of Saska-toon’s warehouse district.
For $250 a month, co-workers get ac-cess to a variety of features, including 24-7 building access, on-site food, an office manager, on-site parking access and cre-ative services from Fancy. Along with co-working, offices will be available to rent. Offices range in size and are located both downstairs and upstairs in the expansive area, and some businesses have already signed up to be the first tenants.
“It’s not an original idea, but I think of us as innovators. We are taking something that exists and could be improved in some aspects and that’s what drives us. There’s always room for improvement, and we’ll keep doing it in the best way possible,” said Pfeifer.
Saskatoon’s growing population and booming economy are driving reasons behind the necessity of spaces like Wall-street Common. Hundreds of businesses have popped up in the past few years, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship and the small business model.
“This is going to be a buzzing place,” said Payne. “The type of people we want to attract are the forward-thinkers, the creators, the doers. We love the guys over at Two Twenty (on 20th Street West), and in some ways we are similar, and in others we differ. Ideas are going to happen just on the staircase. I really just can’t wait for it to be open.”
With the hopes of someday becoming a franchise, Pfeifer believes Saskatoon is the perfect place to open Wallstreet Common’s first venture.
“The business community here is so amazing and supportive of one another. I think things like this are the missing link. From day one, if you need a ser-vice, you likely won’t need to leave the building.”
Wallstreet Common isn’t all work and no play. The first event at the refurbished warehouse is Nov. 30 from 4 p.m. to 9
p.m. Called the Black Market Market, patrons can come and go, take a look at the workspace and pick up locally made goods from artisans just in time for Christmas. In the future, Pfeifer, Payne and Andres hope that the building can be a centre of cultural events, drawing people together for all types of gatherings.
“Sometimes in the business world, people can feel very isolated,” said Payne. “We’re hoping to take that mentality and
embrace each other and help one another grow.
“There’s this quote I love: ‘We’re too young to realize that certain things are impossible. Which is why we do them anyway.’ ”

What’s in Your Beauty Products?
Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called es-trogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS. Xeno-Detox Every Day EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxifica-tion and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lyco-pene and rosemary extract are all very effective for sup-porting healthy hormone balance.
So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www.ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Sometimes the oldest adages — even the most clichéd — are the wis-
est. OK, they’re pretty much always the wisest.
This column is dedicated to one of those familiar sayings: “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”
I know it’s such a cynical outlook to have on life, right? You may feel that way, but lately I’ve been hearing story after story about how much better off some Saskatchewan residents would have been to have adhered to that message.
I’ll apologize now, because this column is going to be a tad cryptic, for a number of reasons, but primarily so I don’t get sued. I’ll try to get to the gist of it.
Unless you live under a rock, you may have heard that Saskatchewan is booming. Over the past decade our for-tunes have risen, both provincially and personally. (Not mine, per say, but for many fortunate readers, the boom has been good to your bottom line.)
Flush with cash, people have turned to investing, and rightly so. Managing your money under the watchful eye and advice of a licenced, regulated finan-cial advisor is a fabulous idea. Balanc-ing solid market participation with a healthy dose of risk may be your cup of tea, or it may not. Either way, financial education is invaluable. If you don’t know what you’re doing, talk to some-one who does.
Let’s be clear, that does not mean binge-watching Shark Tank or Dragon’s Den. It’s tempting, I realize, to hoover up the nuggets of wisdom dispensed by the kindest or the most vicious of multi-gazillionaires who lean back in their armchairs and seemingly throw hundreds of thousands of dollars around for their, and your, entertainment.
Pro Tip: even though it’s called “re-ality” television, it’s not real life.
I don’t care if you’re an entrepreneur or an investor, neither of those shows should guide your decisions in these types of affairs. Why? Because of what
you don’t see behind the scenes, before and after the cameras stop rolling: due diligence.
A strong entrepreneur looking for funds has a slick, polished pitch at his or her fingertips, designed to deftly and smoothly separate you from your hard-earned cash.
So does a con artist.How do you know the dif-
ference? Do your due dili-gence. Once the cameras and
the charm are turned off, start consulting people smarter than you. Invest in a Sas-katchewan Information Services Corpo-ration account, and use it — run searches on company names and individuals. Turn to reputable, credible and licenced financial advisors, especially if you’re considering exempt market investments, such as real estate or small businesses.
If you’re an entrepreneur considering your options for cash-flow, consider a reputable (and fascinating) organization such as the Saskatchewan Capital Net-work. It is a member-based, non-profit organization of local ‘angel investors’ (yes, that is seriously a real thing), which provides networking, educational and development opportunities along-side the prospect of raising funds.
Do not get caught up in an invest-ment scheme because all your friends are doing it. Something about jumping off a bridge comes to mind on that one.
I’m no expert, nor a lawyer, or even particularly adept at managing my own chequing account, so please don’t con-sider this as any kind of credible advice on what to do with your money.
Perhaps consider it a warning, from someone who has recently seen too many people needlessly get hurt — financially and emotionally. Ultimately, like with so many areas in life, be open to, but wary of, individuals promising tales of untold growth, success and profit.
Because while occasionally these tantalizing promises come to fruition, hopefully bringing with them your early retirement, more often than not if it sounds too good to be true . . . well, you know the rest.
During our boom, people also getting fleeced

The Magic City Chorus is rolling out a funny, touching, rollicking bus tour that will take you halfway to
heaven.Your guides are Shirley, Goodness and
Mercy, not to mention Patience. If you can’t rely on these angels for spiritual transportation, who can you trust?
“The overall tone is light, fun, enter-taining — and a little silly,” said Nancy Kanuka, a.k.a. Goodness, in an earthly interview. “I’m a big advocate for silly.”
Highway to Heaven, an original work written by chorus members Adele Kerr (Patience, the angel in charge) and Yvette Jaspar, has a similar format to Mamma Mia! The local musical is punctuated with numbers that are part of the Magic City Chorus’ repertoire, just as Mamma Mia! was dotted with ABBA tunes.
For example, the 40-member group will perform Hey Soul Sister, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, With A Little Help From My Friends and Orange Coloured Sky, among other popular tunes. Watch for the theme from Fame as a showstop-per.
The songs fit into the story of lifelong friends heading to Deadwood for a week-end of gambling at the casino. Before they know it, they are singing in the choir at All Souls Community Church. “What the holy halo is happening?” asks the promotional material for the show.
Act Two spoofs the telethon charity model, with Barb McGrath (instead of Telemiracle’s Bob McGrath), managing
the fun. Norma Wallace, a veteran of the popular musical Nunsense, plays her.
All of this sprung from the unstoppable minds of Kerr and Jaspar, tasked with cre-ating the Magic City Chorus’ biannual ma-jor production. (In the intervening years, the chorus presents a Christmas show.)
“We’re both insomniacs. We were able to write all night,” said Kerr.
“A lot of work got done in the middle of night,” agreed Jaspar.
Director Cheryl Pearce was seeking ideas for the production, and Jaspar pre-sented her idea of angels trying to finish off the important business of life.
“So I approached Adele and, between us, the plot thickened.”
Jaspar said it doesn’t matter what faith, or lack thereof, a person adheres to. Half-way to Heaven has a universal message, presented in a lighthearted way. It’s a “light fairy tale about life,” and enjoying it too, said Jaspar.
The Magic City Chorus, a four-part harmony group that is part of Sweet Ade-lines International, will have guest per-formers joining them on stage from Spirit Flyers, who participate in the telethon spoof in the second act. Spirit Flyers is a group of people with cognitive impair-ments who will do two dance numbers at the show.
“We always try to partner with some-one in the community as a guest in our shows,” said Kerr.
Kerr sings lead, or melody. Women’s barbershop groups, which are a cappella (without accompaniment), are organized just as the male counterparts are: lead,
tenor, baritone (such as Jaspar) and bass (Kanuka).
All three women have been involved with the chorus for many years: 20 for Jaspar and Kanuka, and 14 for Kerr. They are all fully engaged and having fun, donating quite a lot of their time.
“There’s a joke that it’s only one night a week,” said Kanuka.
It’s true that rehearsals are every Tues-day, but many members find they spend many more hours singing and contribut-ing. They often appear at seniors’ homes and charitable events, for instance, as
well as in their own shows.The women come from all walks of
life, including nurses, doctors, business-people, teachers and many others, said Kerr.
It’s an amateur group, added Jaspar, “but we put our best food forward.”

Question: The City seems to be positioning itself to cut work from the P3 North Commuter Park-way and Traffic Bridge project in anticipation of tender bids coming in over budget. If it comes to this, rather than deleting work from the project specifi-cations with the obvious intent of funding these in-ternally at some point, will one of the options consid-ered be to delete the Traffic Bridge replacement and proceed with its demolition?
Mayor Atchison: The short answer is no. Now for the reasons. There is a lot of new terminology that is used in P3 projects. One phrase is afford-ability threshold. Essentially that is budget for the project. The goal is to make the sure the project does come in on budget, or inside the affordabil-ity threshold, as they call it now. The other part of this is called a descoping ladder. It means, for example, if the project is over budget, what would you take out to get on budget again? Your reader is thinking we are going to be over budget. But, according to the way P3s are structured, we need to make sure that everyone knows exactly what would be deleted from the project if it was over budget. So all of these items are listed. When the proponents put forward their submis-sions, they have to put a price tag on each of these items. If they are over budget, you subtract the first off the list. So what we are really telling the proponents here is you better sharpen your pencils and come in with the price that is required. It could be that if the descoping ladder removes the first portion, then another proponent could have the best price and every proponent wants the best price.
The proponents are going to spend in the neighbourhood of $2 million each to attempt to get the project. I don’t think any proponents are going to want to pad the pricing so there is extra profit in there for them. They are going to sharpen their pencils as best they can and come up with the best designs possible. It’s just like what we did for Circle Drive South, which came in $30 million under budget. The new civic operations centre meets the affordabil-ity threshold – on budget or perhaps slightly under budget. Those numbers are still being worked out now. The other part is the Traffic Bridge. If there is no Traffic Bridge, there is no P3. The reason PPP Canada was so excited
about this project is because it is the first of its kind in Canada: having two bridges bundled together in one project.
Question: Most public institutions are moving away from defined pension plans in favour of defined contribution plans. How-ever, the City appears bent on maintaining the status quo by merely increasing matching employee- and
tax-paid funding rates to maintain sustainability. When will elected council take leadership by directing more concrete action via phase-out for new employees or by increasing the earning period for pension cal-culation (now two years for police) and by removing overtime and other special payments from the earnings calculation?
Mayor Atchison: I think some of the information there is not accurate. I do not believe they use the best two years in pension calculations for police. I don’t believe anyone has best two years. In the new pension agreement, it is important to remember that employ-ees have all their previous earned ben-efits vested. Those can’t be taken away from them. That is one of the concerns employees have had through all the negotiations: “Do these changes affect what I have in the bank?” The answer is no. In the end, we want what is best for everyone. The City wants certainty, taxpayers want certainty and so do the employees. What we are doing right now is addressing a significant defi-cit. There is no way employees or the employer want a deficit. Pensions are a very complicated issue. The super-intendent of pensions has mandated that pension plans must stay healthy. So that is our goal to create a plan that works for today and for decades into the future.
Question: Pensions are always a touchy subject at contract times. Would you care to share what yours and councillors’ pensions will be?
Mayor Atchison: I can’t speak for councillors, but I can certainly speak for myself as the mayor and a previous councillor. I do not have a pension plan with the City of Saskatoon.

Expires on Dec. 31, 2014.
Recently, The StarPhoe-nix published an article on city council members
and their electoral plans for the future. It read a little like a high school student’s first semester report card, with some council-lors weighing in whether or not they are considering mov-ing on up the ladder. Yes, the municipal election is still two years hence, but in the world of politics the next election campaign starts the day after the last election.
Rumours are already abounding on the 2016 election; a few are fanciful, but most are just boring. The least interesting of the group are councillors Lorje, Iwan-chuk, Davies, Loewen and Jeffries.
Pat Lorje will run in Ward 2, and probably continue to win, until the day she draws her last breath. There doesn’t seem to be much else on her horizon, and the paycheque and perks are nothing to sniff at. And with the exception of former councillor Owen Fortosky, there seems to be little interest from serious contenders to run against her.
Ann Iwanchuk, representing Ward 3, will seek another term. She won the last election by a sliver and may have difficul-ty next time round. The unions, being her bailiwick, did not enjoy her tremendous support during the transit labour dispute. She shouldn’t count on “solidarity for-ever” to carry her across the finish line.
In Ward 4, Troy Davies will run and, in all likelihood, succeed. He is very low key and keeps his head down to the point that you hardly notice that he is on council. He will be a no harm, no foul incumbent.
Mairin Loewen, running in Ward 7, viewed as council’s policy wonk and the environmental cheerleader, will survive. She has strong ties to the New Demo-cratic Party, who will work her campaign, and her ward area generally votes NDP.
And Zach Jeffries will try to convince Ward 10 voters that he, and he alone, got them a north bridge.
Tiffany Paulsen, perennial Ward 9 councillor, surprised me with her denial that she would not consider a run for the mayor’s chair. It has long been rumoured that she wanted to be the first female mayor of the city. Perhaps a busy law practice and two small children have moved that agenda further down the road.
Coun. Eric Olauson, representing Ward 8, will run again if he loses his bid for a provincial seat. Likewise for Randy Donauer of Ward 5 if he is unsuccessful in his quest for a seat in parliament in the next federal election. Voters in those wards will have to ask them-selves whether these gentlemen are more interested in their own political futures than in the future of the city.
It was rumoured in the last election that Ward 6 Coun. Charlie Clark had planned to throw his hat in the ring for the mayor’s job but backed away after Tom Wolfe announced his candidacy. He knew that had they both run they would have split the vote and guaranteed the incumbent a win, and Clark would be off council. Having learned his lesson about waiting too long to declare his intent, Clark’s “contemplation” about running for the mayor’s position is akin to giving notice. Closer to the election he will no doubt do some polling before making a final decision. One way or another, he is in the 2016 election race.
Back in Ward 1, Darren Hill’s caginess about his intent to run for mayor is just sabre rattling. He should still be licking his wounds from his dismal outing in the last federal election. But it gives him a “what’s in it for me” negotiating power with other potential candidates looking for incumbent support.
Will Mayor Don Atchison seek an-other term in office? Absolutely, unless friends, family and polling convince him he can’t win. But whether he wins or not depends on who the competition is. If it is he, Clark and/or Hill, he just might pull it off. There is little difference between these three amigos, each supporting pretty much the same agenda, more particularly increased taxes, levies, spending on mega capital projects and generally creating an ever-increasing debt. In that scenario, voting for Clarke or Hill would be akin to going from the frying pan to the fire.
On the other hand, if a publicly known candidate comes from outside the council chamber, things might end up differently. In the last municipal election a candidate without much of a public profile — Wolfe — came out of left field, filing his nomi-nation papers close to the eleventh hour. He didn’t have much of a campaign going
and still managed to garner about 48 per cent of the vote. The public seemed ripe for a change, but there were a lot of folks who voted for Atch in the last election re-sulting from unfounded allegations about Wolfe and based on the “better the devil you know” theme.
Wolfe has already stated he will not be giving it another try. Former councillor Lenore Swystun, who has already twice tried to defeat Atch, reportedly is still toying with the idea of a third attempt. But both these candidates were left with massive campaign expenses to pay and may be gun shy about going into debt for another futile effort, knowing full well
new politicians don’t get voted in, old politicians get voted out.
Will the electors of Saskatoon turf any of the incumbents? Some politi-cal analysts/pundits think there may be lingering effects from the transit lockout and the resulting loss of millions of dollars and that this council has a lot to account for. I think the public has a very short memory and, as long as our econ-omy is even lukewarm and voter apathy persists, the 2016 election outcome is a foregone conclusion.
Needless to say, we do get the govern-ments we deserve.
The results of the 2016 election are already in

Hundreds of people have pledged to take one small step to make the health system better, as part of a new initiative called Saskatchewan Change Day
that was celebrated throughout the province Nov. 6.The campaign, organized by the province’s Health Qual-
ity Council, received more than 1,300 pledges, surpassing its 1,000-pledge target. Pledges posted on the Change Day website, at www.skchangeday.com, ranged from commit-ting to make someone smile each day to lying in an ambu-lance stretcher to better understand the patient experience.
Saskatchewan Change Day was modelled after the highly successful NHS Change Day in England, which was first held in 2013. Since then, the social movement has grown and spread to other countries, including Sweden and Australia.
Saskatchewan Change Day was officially launched in May at the Health Care Quality Summit in Saskatoon. Since then, pledges have continued to be made. Here are some examples:l I pledge to help someone find their way if I see that
they are lost in our facility.
l I pledge to introduce myself with my name and title to all my clients and not use health care language that is difficult for them to understand.l I pledge to work with all my co-workers across the
continuum of care to place patient/client/resident safety first by thinking infection control practices do make a dif-ference.l I pledge to reflect on three things I am most grateful
for at the end of each day.l I pledge to step away from my desk and take a walk
every day.A survey will soon be conducted about Saskatchewan
Change Day. HQC will consider the survey results, along with other forms of feedback, in determining whether an-other Change Day will be held in 2015.
(HQC is an independent agency that measures and reports on the quality of care in Saskatchewan, promotes improvement and engages its partners in building a better, safer health system for patients.)

Views of the WorldCam Hutchinson & Friends:
By RJ Currie
Three reasons I attended Grand Slam curling last Friday in Selkirk. 3. I enjoy watching others clean house; 2. I enjoy being the youngest spectator; 1.
Anna Sidorova.l Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki finished the N.Y.
Marathon in just under 3 hours, 27 minutes. Or slightly faster than the final three minutes of an NBA game.l I just heard they are filming a sports-based movie
near Toronto called Full Out. I’ll take a wild guess and say it’s not about Randy Moss.l Back-up QB Mark Sanchez played a big part in the
Eagles win over the Texans. No ifs, ands or butts.l New Cubs manager Joe Maddon says they’re going
to make the playoffs next year. It could happen. Oh, and Washington Caps coach Barry Trotz says Alex Ovechkin is going to start back-checking.l Carmelo Anthony says he is an underrated superstar
and is catching on to the Knicks triangle offence. In fact, he deserves to be the square of the hypotenuse, or whatever.l A Polish company has angered the Catholic Church
by promoting its caskets with naked female models posing on top. In a related story, I want to be buried in Krakow. l Ex-Crimson Tide fullback Le’Ron McClain has been
charged with dealing synthetic marijuana. I bet he favours the Women’s World Cup being played on artificial grass.l I just came across an article titled 5 Ways to Keep Your
Vehicle From Being Stolen. In my experience, there a sure-
fire way to prevent auto theft — drive a 1990 VW Rabbit.l Metro News reports an Iranian woman got a year in
jail for attendig a men’s volleyball game. It’s too bad she couldn’t go to a Raiders game; that’s usually punishment enough.l Thankfully, Canadians have not had to deal with the
Ebola virus. Just as well too: we’ve had our hands full with J. Bieber plague.l ESPN claims about 30 per cent of the Indiana Hoo-
siers basketball team are out with legal problems. On the bright side, their NBA draft status shot way up.
RJ’s Groaner of the WeekI apologized to my wife for being late for dinner and
said I was a real dumbell. I got held up at the gym.
Models on caskets drop-dead gorgeous
Torben Rolfsen, on Adrian Pe-terson receiving no jail time for child abuse: “Well unless you
count spending November to January in Minnesota.”l From Bill Littlejohn: “First it
was Nate Burleson who broke his arm while reaching for pizza as he drove. Now DeAngelo Hall has re-torn his Achilles while grabbing a slice of piz-za from his kitchen. Looks like Nate may have started a Domino’s effect.”l I’ve enjoyed listening to Kevin
Martin analyze curling from the Sportsnet broadcast booth. He knows the players and isn’t afraid to talk about the strength and weaknesses in their games. And besides, he’s no longer on the overhead camera. l From Janice Hough: “Star Wars
VII will be called The Force Awakens. And given the age of many in the cast, I presume the subtitle is ‘Every Few Hours in the Middle of the Night to Pee.’”l I’m more than confused than
usual. I just read Holy Cross won an “historic” fourth consecutive city 4A football crown, despite there being a team in the 1950s — Nutana — that won six in a row. Maybe the Holy Cross record is for a team not wearing leather helmets or something. l TC Chong, on hackers stealing
53 million email addresses and other data from Home Depot computers: “So what was wrong with Holt Renfrew, Rolls Royce or Neiman Marcus?”l There are five TSN channels, and
four were showing the same CFL game last weekend. The other was showing horse racing. Sadly, TSN has the rights to NCAA football, and viewers missed the Ole Miss/Auburn game. l Littlejohn, on Johnny Manziel’s
girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, scoring a modelling gig for No Rulez NY, an up-and-coming brand: “Guess she was getting frustrated sitting on the bench behind Gisele Bundchen.”l Newspaper headline: “Grant Fuhr
says he’s got no regrets.” I’m not so lucky. I got a few. l Hough, on a court upholding
gay marriage bans in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee: “So in those last two states, men can still marry their sisters, just not their brothers?”l It’s unfortunate for junior
football in Canada that the national championship has become a Western Canada championship. I remember when the Hilltops owned this city and the Huskies were an afterthought. l From the Glen Suitor file: It
doesn’t matter if the Riders play in the East or the West during the playoffs. Sorry, Glen, the easier road to the Grey Cup goes through two of Montreal, Hamilton and Toronto. l Rolfsen, on the Detroit Lions
sending CJ Mosley home from London and suspending him for two weeks for marijuana use and disabling a hotel smoke alarm: “Mosley and the NFLPA have filed a grievance with the league, asking that future overseas games be played in Amsterdam.”
l My favourite three sporting events on television: 3. Rider games; 2. Curling; 1. Leafs losses. l Hough, on a Virgin Australia
flight bound for Sydney having to return to Los Angeles because of a plumbing problem that resulted in a nauseating smell on board: “Ah for the good old days when the most nause-ating thing on a plane was the free food.”l CNN headline: Nurse wins free-
dom from judge. I’m wondering where he kept her and how she got away.l I haven’t watched TSN’s hockey
panel yet this season. Are Dreger, McKenzie and LeBrun still on the air? How the mighty have fallen with the NHL now sharing a bed with Rogers. l Littlejohn, on a meteorologist
blasting back at Bill Belichick’s criti-cism of weather people: “Punxsutaw-ney Phil forecasted six more weeks of bad press conferences for Belichick.”l Hough, on a small plane with
the banner “Fire John Idzik!” circling the N.Y. Jets practice field for a short time: “Then the plane was presumably intercepted by another plane.”l Chong, on Cowboys QB Tony
Romo flying to London in first class so he could rest his injured back: “Mean-while back-up Brandon Weeden sat in a middle seat in economy between two 375-pound offensive linemen.”l The price of gas jumped six
cents one day last week. What hap-pened? Did somebody in Saudi Arabia fart?

Join Royal University Hospital Foundationin congratulating
Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighters Association Burn Fund
for their nomination as an Honoured Supporter at the14th Annual National Philanthropy Day Celebration
As the SPFFA Burn Fund is celebrating its 40th year it is only fitting that we recognize their eight affiliates and 700 members for their continued contribution to philanthropy and volunteerism in Saskatoon and across Saskatchewan. Through fundraising initiatives they have donated close to $1 million through the Royal University Hospital Foundation to provide advanced healthcare for burn patients including equipment, treatment, care, and rehabilitation and support to families of burn victims. They support continuing education programs for nurses and doctors who treat and provide care for burn patients. Thank you.

The Association of Fundraising Pro-fessionals was formed 50 years ago and is an international organization
dedicated to advancing fundraising. It has 30,000 members in 197 chapters through-out the world. The Saskatoon AFP chapter was formed in 1999 and has 70 members. Saskatoon Chapter President Jennifer Ped-erson says that the AFP “works to advance fundraising and philanthropy through advocacy, research, education and by of-fering certification programs to those who
wish to become designated as professional fundraisers.”
Pederson adds that “by having a profes-sional fundraiser, an organization can really work to strengthen the programming it offers as it ties itself more closely to the community. Professional fundraisers bring a broad range of skills to any campaign – they manage volunteers, structure the de-partments and decide which type of fund-raiser will best work for the organization.” In order to accomplish this, Pederson continues, fundraisers “spend a lot of time fostering strong relationships. They must have strong internal relationships with the groups they work for to understand what is needed from that end. They work with financial planners and lawyers who then advise their clients about what kinds of planned giving options are available. They match up donors with needs and provide follow up reports to the donors.”
The follow-up, or stewardship of the gift, is especially important, Pederson says, because “we need to not only be account-able for what we have done with a gift, but we also need to remember to not take any gift for granted. The kinds of campaigns we run – whether it be a capital, bricks and mortar campaign, a scholarship fund
or a grassroots organization looking for operating costs or organizing a gala – are as varied as the people who give, and they want to be sure the money they gave is going where they intended it to. So a letter with an update on any given project and a sincere ‘thank-you’ goes a long way.”
Pederson says that the amount of money raised in Saskatoon and area over the past number of years is “mind-boggling. Even if you just look at the last decade, I think people would be stunned if the numbers were out there. Just look at how many capital campaigns are hap-pening right now in the city. Look at the yearly United Way fundraising drive, and at Telemiracle.” She goes on to say that
“Saskatoon would not be the city it is to-day if not for the generosity of individual and corporate donors. As a community, with our fundraising dollars, we support three hospitals, a university with very diverse needs, the SPCA, the Meewasin Valley Authority, mental health programs, sporting programs and Persephone The-atre. We are building a new art gallery, and when there is a disaster in any part of the world, our spur of the moment giving is extremely generous.” This generosity, she adds, “is a very Saskatchewan thing. The philanthropic spirit in this province is something to be proud of, and something that, as professional fundraisers, we are very humbled by.”

To us, it’s a picture of young people working selflessly to create
a better world. This summer, PotashCorp sent Sara and 24 other
high school students to a village in India, where they helped
villagers grow more food and build a school to grow young
minds. See their inspiring story at PotashCorp.com/nourish.

Nadya Keenan has been giving back since the beginning. Born with a Segmental Hemangioma, a benign
facial tumor, Nadya has been in and out of hospitals in Saskatchewan as well as out of province for surgeries and multiple types of therapies since she was an infant. However, even at that young age, Keenan was helping to raise awareness of her condition by ap-pearing as a face of the condition at various public events and fundraisers.
Now 14 years old, Keenan is a grade ten student at Holy Cross High School, where she participates in track and cross country, as well as serving on the Students’ Repre-sentative Council. Keenan has continued to give back and to work towards bettering the lives of children. When she was old enough to talk, she began taking part in various radiothons across the city raising money for the Children’s Wish Foundation
and the Children’s’ Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, as well as speaking at gala fundraisers and taking part in cheque pre-sentations. In 2010, she was the Champion Child for the CHF, which included even more public speaking. Of speaking in front of large crowds, the 14 year old says, “I was quite nervous the first few times,” but adds that “I’ve done it enough that I now am used to people and their reactions. I especially like doing the radiothons. Those are really fun.” On a personal level, Keen-an holds birthday parties where she asks for donations to important causes instead of gifts. And for WE Day a few years ago, she helped her school to collect enough pennies to build eight wells in Africa.
Keenan hopes to be a paediatrician in the future, and hopes to volunteer with the children and families at Ronald McDonald House, a place where she and her family
has spent much time over the years. Her friends, Keenan says, tell her that
she is “an inspiration. A lot of them have now started holding birthday parties where they ask for donations instead of gifts.” Keenan is gratified to see her example spreading, and is especially pleased to “see what the money I have helped to raise is going.” In particular, she thinks the new Children’s’ Hospital of Saskatchewan is very exciting. “I am really proud to have helped to raise money for this hospital, because my family and I had to spend so much time away from home when I was receiving treatments when I was younger. Now, Saskatoon and Saskatchewan kids will get to stay closer to their homes and families when they are going through what may be a tough time.”
For kids her age, Keenan has these words of advice: “find a cause you are passionate
about, and then step up and be a leader. It is never too late to get started and show that you are willing to help care for others.”

Donors have helped Saskatoon City Hospital become a leading centre for ambulatory care. We can do even more to enrich health care at Saskatoon City Hospital with equipment, resources and technology through the Foundation’s Equip for Excellence Campaign. Donations will enhance every department, optimize patient recoveries and reduce hospital stays.This year we ask giving hearts to help purchase $3 million in needed equipment – like a state-of-the-art mammography unit that can detect the smallest of tumours, leading to increased detection, earlier diagnoses and more effective treatment for patients with breast health concerns.
It’s easy to give – visit SaskatoonCityHospitalFoundation.com and click donate. Or contact us at: Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation 701 Queen St. Saskatoon SK S7K 0M7306-655-8489

Janet and Art Postle were both raised to embrace the idea of giving back. Ac-
cording to Janet, “our parents taught us that, as a community, you work together, you share together, and together, you ensure that the community is strong.” When Art retired as the CEO of the Saskatchewan Co-Operative Association in 2010, he found himself with even more time to devote to organizations that were impor-tant to him.
Through the years, the Pos-tles have given their time and energy to the Saskatoon Sym-phony, the Saskatoon Housing Authority, the Rotary Club, the Friendship Inn, the Food Bank, St. Paul’s Hospital and the Mee-wasin Valley Authority, to name a few. “We like organizations that reach everyone, ones where everyone can benefit,” Art says. Along the way, Janet adds, “we have met so many great individ-uals and worked with so many great organizations and we have learned just how important each and every donation of time or resources is.” Art further ex-plains that “often, it is the major gifts or donations that are given the recognition, but every gift of money and every donation of time or energy matters. They are a part of the whole. Without them, the goal is not achieved. Everything matters. Everyone should be recognized.”
But for the Postles, it is not the recognition that is most gratifying. Rather, they enjoy seeing the fruits of their efforts enjoyed by their fellow Saska-
toon residents. “We worked on campaigns with the MVA that helped to expand the trail system and that built River Landing. To see people, young families, out there on the trail or enjoying time by the river, that is really special. To tour St. Paul’s and to see what they have achieved with the dollars and time we helped to raise is a real feel-ing of accomplishment.” Janet agrees, pointing to a paraphrased quote based on a speech Winston Churchill gave in 1908: “you make a living by what you get, and you make a life by what you give.’ This is really the motto we live our life by. It is what our parents taught us, and some-thing we hope we are passing on to our kids and grandchildren.”
Art, too, is glad to give back to “a city from whom we have received a great deal. Saskatoon is a great place to live, and it is important to give back to the extent we can, and for others to give to the extent they can, as well. And then you get to have the experience of going for a walk on the Meewasin on one of these beautiful fall days we’ve had, and to see other people out

Evan Volk received his wish in July of 2013 when he travelled with his family to Toronto to meet the Blue Jays! Over the course of the 2013 and 2014 Wish-maker Walk seasons, the Volk family raised over $40,000 towards the Kindersley Walk in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation and the granting of future wishes. This year we want to congratulate Susie, Todd, Evan and Cole as the recipients of our Honored Supporter Award!

Lianne Tregobov, Matchmaker
Dear Lianne,I am a 61-year-old male physician
who is divorced. My question to you is this: “What is the likelihood of you matching me with a woman 20 years younger than me? I have a youth-ful energy and feel best with a partner in her 40s. I will not consider anyone over 48. Is there potential of doing so with your service? — Youthful
Dear Youthful,I assess the possibilities of me success-
fully matching my prospective clients prior
to agreeing to work with them. The sce-nario that you have described is not likely going to happen by you using my service. I work with wonderful, self-supporting women who are looking for a true connec-tion. Based on your letter, I would suspect that you have underlying insecurities that are stopping you from meeting a better-suited partner. It is doubtful that you will have long-term potential with a woman 20 years younger than you. Although it may be a boost to your ego, most of my female clients would be uncomfortable with the age difference. The mere fact that her age is your first priority, rather than total com-
patibility, would lead me to believe that Camelot would not be right for you.
Dear LianneI met a fellow at Starbucks and we
became friends. He seems to have com-mitment issues. This has been going on for months where he gives me signs that he wants more and then doesn’t go any further. I am starting to feel badly and it is damaging my self-esteem. I am not sure what to do. — Shannon
Dear Shannon, I would make myself scarce for the next while. Let him experience what life with-out you is like.
Should he start to pursue you, at that point you can assess whether it is right for you. Be very aware that being lonely in a relationship is far worse than being lonely without a relationship. This fellow may be happy with just a friendship and clearly you would like more.
(Lianne will be in Saskatoon Nov. 19- 21 interviewing people who are looking for love and who would like her to be their matchmaker. Call 1-204-888-1529 to book your appointment. Questions for this column should be sent to [email protected].)

That Elinor Florence would write a novel about the Second World War is not much of a stretch.
Florence’s family has deep roots in the two world wars. She has relatives that served in both. During the Second World War, her mother lived near British Com-monwealth Air Training Program (BCATP) airports in the North Battleford area. When her father returned from the war, he pur-chased farm land that included a training base — barracks and all.
The barracks were split into two. One half was moved to North Battleford, where it became a church. The other half became home for the Florences. It is still inhabited on the family farm near North Battleford.
“My dad was in the RCAF. My mom grew up in Battleford, so she was a first-hand observer of the home front when North Battleford became a British Com-monwealth Air Training Program train-ing base. So she had a lot of stories to tell about the guys that came over from England.”
As Florence moved through her career, her mother’s stories about BCATP were never too far from her mind.
Florence obtained an English degree from the University of Saskatchewan and became the first reporter at her hometown paper – the Battefords Advertiser Post – before going to Carleton University in Ottawa, where she obtained a degree in journalism. During her career, she worked at the Western Producer, Red Deer Advo-cate, Winnipeg Sun, Vancouver Province and Reader’s Digest. She owned and oper-ated a weekly paper in Invermere, B.C.
“I feel disappointed that the British Commonwealth Air Training Program isn’t better remembered and acknowledged in the many communities across Canada – and particularly on the Prairies – that it affected,” she said in an interview at
McNally Robinson.In 2010 she pulled out the floppy disks
on which her original writing about the BCATP was contained. She did a rewrite in 2011 and sent the manuscript to a pub-lisher in 2012. Now, in the fall of 2014, the book – Bird’s Eye View – is on the shelves. Florence was in Saskatoon last week as part of her book tour.
The central character is a fictional woman named Rose Jolliffe.
“She is a naïve, idealistic farm girl from Saskatchewan who is working as a news-paper reporter in her hometown. Ring any bells?” Florence said with a laugh.
“When war breaks out, her town be-comes a British Commonwealth Air Train-ing base, and all the guys arrive to train. She is fired by patriotism and wants to go overseas, too. She goes over to England, joins the air force and becomes a photo interpreter.”
Photo interpreters were among the unheralded heroes of the war. These are the people that could take photos from reconnaissance planes and then provide RCAF bombers with the precise locations of German installations. The Germans tried to disguise the sites, but with their trained eyes interpreters could often outsmart them.
Florence researched photo interpreta-tion extensively as she developed Rose’s character.
“Rose is very hard-working, dedicated. She also has a sort of a sixth sense about interpretation, which is something they were looking for. The best interpreters had the ability to look at a photograph and see a hot item – as they called it – just jump out. So that is how I finagled Rose into becoming a photo interpreter. It is unlikely they would take a Canadian farm girl be-cause they were drawing their interpreters from the ranks of Oxford and Cambridge, for the most part, and they were quite well educated.”
Florence said women were good in that role.
“When the war started they had 40 interpreters. When the war ended they had more than 600 interpreters and more than half of them were women. Two of those female interpreters, both British, wrote books about their experiences, and those were the two books I drew on most heav-ily.”
There was also a photograph that had an impact on Florence. She can’t remember where or when she saw it.
“It was the photograph of a woman in an air force uniform bent over a stereo-scope.”
A stereoscope is a piece of technology that essentially gave the interpreter a 3D view when two photos shot seconds apart were put together.
“I did become intrigued by that and start-ed studying up on it. I found there isn’t very much written about it. Most of the books that I read were about the guys who flew the aircraft that took the aerial photographs, but not so much about the interpreters. And I am not really sure why that is, because they played a really vital role.”
The book starts the day Canada declares
war, and ends the month after the war ends.“Canada hasn’t done a really good job
of talking about its wartime history,” Flor-ence said. “Even with the British Com-monwealth Air Training Program, people ask me all the time, ‘What is that?’ They have never heard of it.
“Also, I wanted to write about a Cana-dian woman in uniform because their light has been in the shadows for a long time now. They weren’t even allowed to join up until 1941. And for that four-year period from 1941 to ’45, 50,000 Canadian women joined up and served in uniform. That is a heck of a lot and it was hard research-ing them. They were lucky if they got six paragraphs in the history book.”
For Florence, writing a book was special.
“My husband said, ‘Why is it so im-portant to have a book because you have touched so many people with your news-paper and magazine stories throughout your life?’ There is just something about a book.”
Bird’s Eye View is available at McNally Robinson Booksellers. It is also available as an e-book. For more information, visit elinorflorence.com.
