Trash-talking and helping go with the flow Editor’s Note: We edited the questions for length this week.

Q

uestion: Hello Mr. Mayor! I have started following your column in the Saskatoon Express and think it is wonderful. It is a fabulous way for questions from residents to get answered and then seen by many.

It appears that the city has crews cleaning up roadway ditches of garbage in the spring. That is appreciated, but I was wondering if there is anything in the budget Ask the that could perhaps be used for an anti-litter campaign.

Perhaps you could support a contest in the schools to come up with the best slogan and poster to remind people.

More rubbish bins are also necessary, especially at the entrance/exit to city parks. In our area that is where trash accumulates. I make it a point to clean up some trash every time I go for a walk.

Perhaps we should encourage more people to do the same thing.

Mayor Atchison: The idea of a contest sounds like a good one. Perhaps we could get the schools involved in that.

I agree that people need to take more responsibility, but trash is a city responsibility. Keep in mind when the City goes out to clean up garbage and trash along the roadside and in the ditches the City is charging the taxpayer for that, because it all goes back to your property taxes.

What we really need to do here, more importantly, is to remind the public they need to do a better job of cleaning up and not throwing garbage on our streets. The City needs to do a better job of catching these litter bugs who are tossing trash out of their vehicles.

Another thing the city administration should consider is putting more garbage cans in our residential areas, in our parks and in our downtown business areas.

There was the Show and Shine car show on recently, and it was pointed out to me that garbage was strewn throughout the area. So maybe the city needs to put more garbage cans out when we have these outdoor shows and activities on our streets.

One thing the city is doing is working closely with Urban Camps. These are groups of inmates from the correctional centre. In the winter they shovel snow and in the summer they pick up garbage on roadsides in the spring. They also go into our historic neighbourhoods picking up garbage, mattresses and cutting grass in some areas.

Question: With Saskatoon experiencing the tremendous boom like it has never seen before, there are the unexpected downsides. One of them is the increased number of construction vehicles on the road during the peak travel times. Are there time restrictions as to when these vehicles are allowed on the freeways? There seems to be a lot of liberties being taken by construction companies which drive their graders, earth movers, etc. during the peak hours that make the commute much more frustrating.

Mayor Atchison: There Mayor is nothing worse than being in a hurry in the morning and getting behind a piece of heavy equipment. On top of that, we have crews out there fixing potholes, making the roads smoother and better for drivers. So it is an issue. We do have pretty strict policies that were adopted by council back in 2007. If heavy-equipment operators and companies aren’t following those rules and regulations, then there are penalties in the form of tickets.

For example, if a vehicle is wider than 8.5 feet, it needs a permit. Graders and front-end loaders and the like are unlicensed, and they must have permits to travel on the roads. If they don’t, they should be ticketed.

Perhaps the police need to check into that and clamp down on offenders. We are investing a lot of tax dollars and more in the future to make our roads better, so we also need to concentrate on making sure that vehicles are properly licensed, have the correct permits and follow the law. We invested a lot of money in Circle Drive South and plans are moving quickly for the Parkway and Traffic bridge construction. We need to help create a better flow of traffic.

Question: One of things the writer asks about is heavy equipment on the roads during morning and afternoon commutes. There are rules in that area, right?

Mayor Atchison: Those big heavy pieces of equipment definitely shouldn’t be out there at those times. They should either to be out very early in the morning or during the day, but not during the commute. I know the people in the construction industry would say they need to get to work, but I think they need to find different routes or get there sooner and then wait until after the evening commute. It can create a hazard on our roadways.

Woman honoured for helping others with ovarian cancer

H

By Darla Read for Saskatoon Express

elen Ferris was diagnosed with ovarian cancer nine years ago.

She remembers the experience as traumatic. It still makes her emotional talking about it. At the time, she didn’t have anyone to walk her through the difficulties she would be facing. She didn’t even know the severity of the cancer and the low five-year survival rate.

“I walked through hell,” she said. “I really thought I wouldn’t survive.”

During that hard time, Ferris said faith and talking to other women gave her hope.

Those women paid an integral role in her fight.

“It was something I needed to help me cope with what I’d been through,” she said.

Now Ferris believes helping other women is her calling.

“There has to be a reason I survived.

It’s so I can pass on my experience to help others.”

Ferris is being recognized for all she has given back to others struggling with the cancer. She has been awarded the Peggy Truscott Award of Hope, which is given to people who do an outstanding job volunteering and promoting awareness of ovarian cancer in their community. She will receive her award at this year’s Saskatoon Walk of Hope on Sept. 8. She is one of the organizers of the event.

“I feel very honoured because there are many women who do this work and deserve (the recognition) too,” she said.

Catherine Mazurkewich, who co-chairs the Saskatoon Walk of Hope committee, noted Ferris is currently in her third occurrence of ovarian cancer. Despite that, she finds the time to organize monthly support meetings, as well as lunches, speakers and presentations. Mazurkewich said Ferris takes the time to visit women who are newly diagnosed. She takes them informa-

tion packages, answers their questions and visits them throughout their treatments.

She does that when they’re in the hospital and when they reach the palliative stage.

“Support is a big thing,” said Ferris.

“You do need those hugs.”

She said her family’s support, even if they weren’t physically in Saskatoon, helped her immensely.

“She’s just an amazing person,” said Mazurkewich, whose sister died of ovarian cancer in 2009 and was awarded the Peggy Truscott Award of Hope post-humously.

Mazurkewich continues to be involved in helping women with ovarian cancer as a promise to her sister.

The Walk of Hope takes place on the second Sunday of every September across Canada. All proceeds go to fund programs

COUNTRY MORNING GOLD BONELESS SKINLESS CHICKEN BREASTS

for women living with ovarian cancer.

These include such things as providing the resources needed for the presentations Ferris does.

The presentations aim to provide more awareness about the cancer. Mazurkewich said it is the “most undiagnosed, misunderstood and deadly women’s cancer.”

It is usually diagnosed in stages three and four. There is no early detection test for ovarian cancer. Contrary to what many think, Mazurkewich said a pap test does not diagnose ovarian cancer. There is a blood test that gives markers or indicators.

From there women undergo ultrasounds.

Mazurkewich said if ovarian cancer is detected in stage one or two, the survival rate for women is 90 per cent. That drops to a 30 per cent if found in stage three or

four (Ferris’ was found in stage three).

Mazurkewich said nationally, the youngest girl diagnosed with ovarian cancer was a six-year-sold. Last year a 17-year-old died from ovarian cancer in Saskatoon.

Mazurkewich said she doesn’t know from where Ferris gets her strength.

Ferris said it comes from helping women because it gives her a sense of purpose.

“Who else is going to do it? It’s the reason I wake up every morning,” said Ferris, noting she’s made a difference if she can keep one woman from going through what she went through.

“It’s the sense of doing something that fights back against cancer,” she said.

Kawasaki Disease

Fundraiser hopes to increase awareness of little known disease

I

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

f you’ve never heard of Kawasaki Disease (KD), you’re not alone. For Saskatoon mom Tracy Roberts it’s all too familiar. In January 2013, her threeyear-old daughter Brooklynn was diagnosed with the rare condition.

“Brooklynn was so sick and her immune system so low,” said Roberts. “Her friends in preschool would get a little cold and cough that would last a few days, but Brooklynn would battle for weeks with it and have it turn into bronchitis and even pneumonia.” Roberts ended up taking her daughter out of preschool and daycare because the little girl just didn't have the immune system to fight anything off. Mom and daughter became homebound, until Brooklynn was finally admitted to Royal University Hospital.

“At her ECG and Echocardiogram, they found she had inflammation of the coronary arteries and a fluid buildup around the bottom of the heart. It was very scary,” said Roberts. “Brooklynn was in so much pain by the end. Her skin and nails peeled and shed like a snake. She wouldn't even walk she was in so much pain.”

The disease is named after the doctor (Tomisaku Kawasaki) who discovered it in Japan in the 1960s. It is characterized by a high fever, rash, red eyes, tongue and lips, irritability and peeling skin. Because it is extremely rare, it took some time for Brooklynn to receive her diagnosis. In the end it was Mom’s instincts that led Saskatoon doctors to that determination.

“The second day we were in RUH, a resident mentioned Kawasaki Disease,”

Roberts said. Despite the resident’s musings, the attending physician immediately dismissed the idea.

“That night I went home and researched it on the Internet,” Roberts said. “If not for the resident mentioning KD, I would never have known what it was or would have continued fighting and journalling everything. Finally, just over three weeks after our first visit to RUH, I was told Brooklynn did indeed have KD. She was immediately started on Aspirin therapy and we were in to see a pediatric cardiologist three days later.”

The more Roberts discovered about KD the easier it became for her to see how her daughter could have gone misdiagnosed for so long. Very little is known about KD and it mimics many other conditions.

That’s why Roberts is taking on the challenge of holding a Kawasaki Disease Steak Night Fundraiser.

“No one I have spoken to has heard of KD. Even nurses and pharmacists have looked at me and said ‘I'm sorry, but I haven't heard of Kawasaki Disease before.

What is it?’ There is no known cause, diagnostic testing or cure. More awareness and research is so badly needed.”

The fundraiser, which includes a silent auction, door prizes and a 50/50 draw, will be held on Sept. 8 at Saskatoon’s Odeon Event Centre. Supper will be provided by Saboroso Brazilian Steak House, with all proceeds going to KD research. Cocktails are at 5 p.m. and supper begins at 6 p.m.

Dr. Alan Rosenberg will be the guest speaker.

Tickets are $25 and are available by contacting Tracy Roberts at 306-715-0420 Brooklynn Roberts’ family is bringing awareness to Kawasaki Disease. (Photo supplied) or at kdawareness@gmail.com.

even a simple X-ray. Doctors nowadays would either leave the bullet alone or remove it electively.

Diagnostic equipment is advancing in leaps and bounds.

For example, if I mentioned the word colonoscopy many of you would immediately shred this newspaper into kitty litter, dash off to the bedroom, toss a blanket over your head, curl up in the fetal position with your backside protectively planted against the wall and rock to and fro.

Certainly the thought of having a 46-foot serpentine (emphasis on the word serpent) tube inserted where no man or metal was ever meant to go gives most folks a serious case of the willies. But now comes virtual colonoscopy. What a virtual joy!

Colon cancer, the second highest killer among cancers in North America, begins as a wee polyp. Detected, it can easily be removed. Undiscovered, the polyp may grow to invade the bowel wall and kill its host. Most polyps are allowed to grow undetected due to the fact that most polyp bearers avoid the very thought of a colonosco-poopy. Now any significant polyp over 10 mm can usually be found

with a simple non-invasive CAT scan.

The scan takes all of 10 minutes and can also detect other abdominal abnormalities ranging from gallstones to aneurysms to Jimmy Hoffa.

Slide the CAT scanner up an organ or two and now the amount of calcification in the coronary arteries can be assessed. Atherosclerotic plaques and Big Mac plaques congregate in the coronary arteries where they then calcify. A radiologist can determine how much calcification plugs up your coronary arteries and then assign you a calcium score. This can determine what your risk is for having a heart attack. The more calcified, the more urgently your lifestyle should be altered to prevent heart attacks.

Back to Garfield. In court, the assassin/lawyer’s actual defence was “Guns don’t kill presidents, doctor do.” He was hanged.

The doctors actually had the gall to bill the Senate $85,000, which back in 1881 was enough to buy a senator’s vote or two tickets to a Rolling Stones concert. Instead they were paid $10,000 and made to publicly apologize.

are left to decide which way to jump in order to avoid being clipped by the cyclist. Yet there is a bylaw that prohibits bicycles from being on the sidewalk.

Maybe it should be enforced.

With the increase in popularity for cycling, both the city and the province need to become proactive in creating laws for safe use of our roadways. If you cannot legally drive any other vehicle on a roadway without it being licensed, then the same should apply to bicycles. Like drivers, cyclists need to be mandated to take courses in safe cycling and pass an SaskatoonExpress 1/8 Plug

exam before being allowed to use the roads. And cyclists, like motorists, need to be penalized for unsafe practices.

This may seem harsh and critical of cyclists, but I am both a motorist and cyclist.

As a motorist, I do not want to live with having killed or injured an erratic cyclist.

As a cyclist, I do not want to be killed or maimed by an impatient motorist.

If cycling advocates think our dangerous roadways are akin to the unruly Wild West, then it is time to clean up Dodge City. ehnatyshyn@gamil.com

Tierra Del Sol

A growing enterprise on Valley Road

T

Joelle Tomlinson for the Saskatoon Express

ierra Del Sol is literally a blossoming business on Valley Road. The family-owned farm, which features fresh-cut flowers, dried decor and berry orchards, is the result of a leap of faith by Barb Stefanyshyn-Cote and her husband, John Cote.

“We were grain farmers in Leask. We decided to try our hand at doing some direct marketing.

Being an hour away from the largest city in the province is kind of tough,” said Stefanyshyn-Cote.

“We bought this land three years ago. It’s extremely scary and it’s got its moments. We have been accused of having farming ADD.” Both Stefanyshyn-Cote and her husband have deep roots in agriculture; they both hold degrees in agriculture and were recognized as Saskatchewan and Canada’s outstanding young farmers. They use this knowledge to their advantage at the new farm.

Tierra Del Sol uses a covered-mulch bed system that ensures an early germination, which means the growing season starts as early as June with peonies. There are more than 8,000 gladiolus of every colour at the farm. They are available for special events and at markets in Saskatoon.

“The advantage of this move is the direct payoff. We get to meet the customer,” said Stefanyshyn-Cote. “When someone hands flowers they just bought to someone who is totally unsuspecting in front of me, it is just so heartwarming to see. I have to admit the joy of the flower business has been one of the unexpected things that came out of it.”

Stefanyshyn-Cote has been treated to another surprise at Tierra Del Sol, which led to another opportunity for their farm.

“I’m looking out my window and I already see the pumpkins,” said Stefanyshyn-Cote. “We are going to set up for a festival at the end of September. There will be fun and games and pumpkins

Barb Stefanyshyn-Cote’s flower business is in full bloom (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) and entertainment. And it will be a community event that we’re just gearing up for right now.”

Currently, visiting Tierra Del Sol is by appointment only. But Stefanyshyn-Cote said there will be a change in the near future.

“We are setting up a retail facility here at the farm. We would just as soon sell out of the farm here. The farmers’ markets in Saskatoon have been really good to us, but it’s a lot of work to pack up and take everything there and then bring it all back.”

It’s only going to get busier for the up-and-coming farm. With the berry orchards blooming, Tierra Del Sol

is in line to be the third distillery in Saskatchewan. In fact, the concrete for the distillery centre was poured last week.

“We will be creating whiskey, gin, vodka and flavoured liqueurs. We’re hoping that eventually we can tie in our grain-farming roots with agri-tourism. Come see the grain being grown if you’re interested. Come harvest the grain, distill it and bottle off your own alcohol at the end of it,” said Stefanyshyn-Cote. “Then you can label it and say, ‘I was part of that.’”

For now, the focus is on Valley Road, the pumpkin festival and bringing the distillery to life. Stefanyshyn-

Cote said her family is ready for the changes to come.

“We’re looking forward to working with our neighbours to make Valley Road a destination. People can come and spend time at our place, then carry on to Crickle Creek, then the Strawberry Ranch and then maybe the Berry Barn and all those businesses that are down there. This is such a unique area. And it’s so close to the city. We see a lot of potential for this being an area where people can come and enjoy the day and really make a good outing of it.”

Cruise vacations

Getting sent up the river never felt so good

W

hile cruise vacations generally conjure up images of gleaming multi-storey ships plying open oceans, there is another cruise experience that is quickly gaining popularity.

River cruising is a growing market for water travellers. With an increasing number of destination options and the introduction of themed tours, this vacation experience looks set to garner even more fans in the future.

Offering a more intimate boating experience that incorporates a moving vista of beautiful landscapes, river cruises utilize the waterways of Europe and other parts of the world as highways of exploration and discovery.

One river cruise company (Avalon Waterways) has released 12 new specialinterest cruises for 2014.

From wine and wellness to culinary and culture, Avalon is increasing its specialinterest cruises by 30 per cent to meet the increased demand for passion travel.

In 2014 this award-winning river cruise company will be adding beer tasting, golf, wellness and First World War history cruises to its already diverse lineup.

BEER TASTING “Many of our cruisers have enjoyed beer tastings on our Austria and Germany cruises,” said Patrick Clark, managing director of Avalon Waterways. “Now we’re inviting like-minded travellers to come together for a cruise focused on discovering regional beers.”

On this cruise (Oct. 13, 2014 departure) travellers will have the chance to enjoy onboard beer tastings, visit historic breweries and learn about European beer-

Holy Smokes Batman!

Superheroes hit Saskatoon

Actors , illustrators, cosplay: there’s a lot to SEE

I

Darla Read for the Saskatoon Express

f you have ever wanted to meet the voice behind Batman or the writer of one of your favourite comic books, you will soon have the chance.

Kevin Conroy, who has been the voice of Batman longer than any other actor in either live-action or animation, is one of the pop-culture icons who will be at the inaugural Saskatchewan Entertainment Expo (SEE) on Sept. 14-15 in Saskatoon.

Chris Bernhard and Michael Jordan are organizing SEE and wanted to bring such an event to the city so Saskatoon residents would have the same opportunity as those living in larger centres.

“These sorts of conventions have been happening for years all over Canada,” said Bernhard. “People travel all over for these shows. Now we have a big enough, growing population (to have one here).”

Bernhard said they wanted to make sure SEE hit a wide cross-section of entertainment genres such as television, video games and comic books. While Conroy is one of the most prolific people coming to the event, there are others of note: Grey DeLisle, who is the current voice for Catwoman in the video games Arkham City and Arkham: Origins; Emmy nominee Henry Ian Cusick, who is best known for his role as Desmond Hume on the TV series Lost; and William B. Davis, the “cigarette-smoking man” from The X-Files.

There will also be comic creators, including The Simpsons writer Ian Boothby, Y: The Last Man illustrator Pia Guerra, and Shuster Canadian Comic Book Award winners and nominees Kurtis Wiebe, Ed Brisson and Marcus To. For those who like to dress up, profes-

Kevin Conroy is the longtime voice of Batman (Photo supplied) sional cosplayer (someone who dresses up in costume to represent a specific character or idea) Vegas PG will be at SEE, as well as the 501st Legion, which is the Star Wars-themed group that raises money for charity. There will be costume contests for those who also want to join in the fun.

Bernhard hopes SEE will become an annual event. “We think there’s an appetite,” he said, noting they are aiming for 2,000 people. He said Calgary’s first event had 5,000 people and now 60,000 attend.

Bernhard said the event (which runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.) is meant to be affordable for families. Advance tickets are $25 a day or $40 for the weekend. A family of two adults and two children aged 13 and under is $45 for one day or $60 for the weekend. Extra children can be added for $5 each.

can talk a good line in the same way he practices an improved swing. But when it comes down to the crunch in either addressing the ball or appointing a board member, he goes back to what he knows. Such is human nature. Which leads me to conclude that we'll need more than talking about our plans for women to achieve the necessary change in our current board structure.

I know from spending time with these smart, engaged female leaders that we are well equipped with supply.

Without exception, each of them would add tremendous business acumen to a board. The argument that there are no women in the pipeline is a myth. The problem is that they aren't part of the old boys’ network. They aren't part of the established groove the CEO uses to hit the ball. Even if the guy at the top knows that a revision would improve his game, he can't quite get there.

It's time we established a better way to play the game. These "Mothers of Confederation" are not only part of the answer, they are encouraging all of us to stand up and be counted as contributing agents of change.

Broadway Street Fair celebrates 30th year

T

Darla Read for the Saskatoon Express

he popular Broadway Street Fair is back and celebrating a milestone in style.

For its 30th anniversary the event has its first title sponsor: SaskTel. Sarah Marchildon, executive director of the Broadway Business Improvement District, said this could mean bigger things in the future. She said SaskTel’s sponsorship shows “the commitment of a fellow, local business� because it’s supporting a local event the community loves.

Marchildon said because it’s the 30th anniversary, special deals will be offered

by some businesses, including Broadway Shoe Repair and Crave Cupcakes.

Broadway Shoe Repair is also celebrating three decades in business.

The fair will include mainstays such as the popular Celebrity Dunk Tank in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters Saskatoon. People will have the opportunity to knock celebrities into the water. CTV’s Jeff Rogstad will be there, as will Heather Morrison from Magic 98.3 and Coun. Eric Olauson.

The five-block long street fair will feature street performers, vendors and musicians. There will also be a sidewalk sale, a silent auction, a petting zoo and a children’s art tent. “People know what to expect and enjoy

it. Even when it rains, people still turn out,� said Marchildon. “I think it’s partly because the merchants have their best deals of the year. And people can take a nice, leisurely walk down Broadway while experiencing the best the district has to offer.�

The street fair takes place on JW11057.H26 Broadway Avenue on Sept. 13 James from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Therapy dogs

much more than a pet project

I

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

t’s lunchtime at Saskatoon’s Calder Centre. The smell of roast beef and vegetables wafts through the residential addictions treatment facility, which sits neat and inconspicuously on the corner of Taylor Street and Arlington Avenue. The hallways are quiet as clients enjoy their meal in the canteen.

Around the corner in the common area, Colleen Dell sits on the arm of a leather sofa, gripping her dog Subie’s leash tight as he pulls, spying a potential target for his wet kisses. Lunch is a little late today. The brindle boxer, his St John’s Ambulance therapy-dog bandana tied smartly around his neck, is eager to start socializing.

Minutes later two teenaged boys come around the corner. One has a thick spike through his ear lobe, the other pulls his long hair into a ponytail, carefully avoiding his eyebrow piercings.

“Hi puppy,” says the ponytailed boy as he wraps gangly arms around Subie’s neck. Subie responds with slurps from his rather lengthy tongue. The other teen proudly launches into a story about his own dogs, who he says were rescued from a puppy-mill by his mom.

Another teenaged boy swaggers up the corridor, swigging a chalk-like substance out of a water bottle. Spying Subie, he melts, dropping to his knees to give the dog a good rubdown. “His little tail is just going nuts,” says the boy as he tells the story of his own dogs, to no one in particular. It’s as if he and Subie are the only two beings in the room. “Oh my gosh this is the awesomest dog ever,” he sighs, dropping his milky water bottle to bury himself completely in Subie’s thick brown neck.

“There was one girl here for two weeks who couldn’t hear or speak, and her sign language was in Dene,” whispers Dell, a University of Saskatchewan professor who holds a chair in addictions research.

“I brought Subie to the Calder Centre as much as possible during her stay. We spent up to two hours a day with her, a noncommunicative girl who had been using drugs to kill her feelings. This girl loved Subie so much. The joy, the feeling this animal brought her . . . there was no need for words.”

From the other side of the Calder Centre’s 12-bed youth wing bounces a young blond girl, beautifully styled from top to toe, including impeccable hair and makeup. She taps her long manicured fingers on the tiled floor to get Subie’s attention. “I get to go home today and see my puppy,” she croons, a big grin on her face as the boxer does his slobbery best to remove her makeup. She has completed her 28-day program and is in the midst of packing.

Dell has devoted her life to the research and treatment of Saskatchewan residents battling addiction. She spent five years facilitating equine (horse) therapy through the Sturgeon Lake First Nation. She is currently on a one-year sabbatical to study the question of what therapeutic impact domestic animals have on patients. In addition to Subie, Dell has another St John’s certified therapy dog (a female bulldog named Anna-Belle) who spends much of her time visiting the residents at

Saskatoon’s Brightwater Senior Living Centre, as well as with patients at other local facilities who are dealing with dementia. Anna-Belle is a bit of a doggie celebrity, with her talent for riding a skateboard in high demand when she visits.

“I’m hearing about the elevated moods of patients after the dogs and I leave, as well as the positive impact our visit has on the morale of health-care providers,” said Dell, strolling down the hallway of the Calder Centre as Subie tugs her towards another room, where he senses there will be more cuddles. “I’ve even brought the dogs into classes I taught at the U of S. You wouldn’t believe how it changed the energy in the room.”

It’s actually not that hard to believe at all.

Walking into the adult wing of the Calder Centre, the mood is distinctly less raucous than on the youth side. Entering a darkened room, two clients are flopped on separate couches, watching a DVD. Subie’s appearance brings both individuals immediately to life, as they sit up and lean forward for a pet. The middle-aged woman occupying one sofa laughs loudly as Subie showers her with his trademark affection.

“Subie, Subie, so handsome,” she says.

The energy in the room has noticeably shifted to something that is much more alive.

“I’m really interested in that energy,” Dell explained after Subie’s visit was over. “Where else could you walk into a room and get that kind of instant, positive reaction? If I walked into a room to give a talk to Calder clients, or even brought other treats, you’re not going to get that reaction for me. But bring in the animal and everyone’s up.”

As she observes the interaction and bonding between the Calder Centre clients and Subie, Dell admits that she can only use her extensive background in research and addictions to attempt to interpret what is actually happening between them.

“I probably get five per cent of what’s actually going on,” she said.

Dell relates the story of another therapy dog used by the Saskatoon Health Region and a six-year-old girl who had witnessed a lot of violence in the home. No matter how hard the therapist tried, or what strategies or vocational tools she used, the child would not budge. One of the Health Region’s therapy dogs was introduced and generated immediate results. “That little girl told the dog the entire story. She knew what she was supposed to do. And she was finally comfortable enough with the therapy dog to do it.”

Moving into another darkened room at the Calder Centre, another DVD plays on the flat screen television. Blackout blinds filter out the light and the late-August heat for the half dozen clients slouched on the furniture. Once again, as Subie lunges into the room, it comes to life.

“Subie, you remember me don’t you?” asks a young male client. Subie begs to differ, breaking the rules and hopping up onto the sofa to lie on the man’s outstretched form. Again and again Subie repeats his ritual, moving around the room, generous with his attention and ensuring every client receives personal attention.

“They take away some pain and distract you from your day, especially if you’re

Colleen Dell and her dog Subie (Photo by Tammy Robert) having a bad one,” says a female Calder Centre client who has dropped her knitting to sit down on the floor and embrace Subie.

“They listen and they don’t judge,” says another.

After his visit with Calder Centre clients is finished, Subie stretches out on the carpet of one of the centre’s boardrooms, clearly ready for a nap.

“When the dogs get home, they’re exhausted. They give so much, so intuitively,” said Dell. “If you came to my house, you’d see a different dog. He’d bowl you over at the door. It’s amazing how quickly he learned. Now, as soon as I put my St John’s shirt on and he hears my lanyard, he immediately switches into therapy-dog mode.”

Dell wants people to understand the positive impact therapy dogs can have on people dealing with issues like addiction.

But she also wants pet-owners to appreciate how therapeutic having a pet in their life can be and to pay more attention to those benefits.

“I’ve learned so much from watching how the dogs interact. Often if you’re in a meeting or speaking at a conference the people you’re addressing are just looking around, not even acknowledging the person speaking. Watching Subie, he’s all about a one-on-one presence.

Being with the therapy dogs has taught me to be more present, not judgmental.

It’s taught me mindfulness. I really see it with Anna-Belle — she is fascinating. She methodically goes from person to person at the seniors centre. No one is really calling her; she just knows.”

Dell’s opinion on healing moves beyond vocational therapy. “I think one of the most important ways people heal is from their relationships.”

She points out that clients at the Calder Centre are learning from their peers and from their therapists as living beings as much as they may be learning the coping

skills. “They’re feeling love, joy, those basic human values. What’s going to heal you? If I’m in pain, it’s not going to be a program; it’s going to be my friends, my family and yes, my pets who are going to support me through that. All the normal stuff.”

Dell circles back to the teenaged boys at the beginning of the visit, telling the stories of their pets at home. “Everyone has a story about their dog. Seeing Subie is a connection, a reminder of who they were before they were in treatment, even before they were addicted. It’s about the normalcy, connecting with the real world again. That’s so important, because when you come in here you’re sheltered.”

You don’t need to be a therapist to train and own a therapy dog. All the information is available on the St John’s Ambulance website (www.sja.ca). “The certification is free of charge,” said Dell. “They’ll send you a DVD so you can watch what kind of training you have to do with your dog.

If your dog doesn’t pass the first time, you can try again.”

Starting in September, Dell, AnnaBelle and Subie will pop up once a week in a different location on the University of Saskatchewan campus to entertain and comfort stressed-out students. Dell also plans on continuing her work with the Calder Centre and seniors once she is off sabbatical. Her next challenge is measuring the results.

Meanwhile, you can follow the daily therapy dog adventures of Anna-Belle and Subie on Facebook (https://www.facebook. com/AnnaBelleSubiesAdventures), which is managed from the point of view of the two dogs. “I started the Facebook page because everything is community-based research,” said Dell. “I wanted to raise awareness and to put ourselves in their shoes, because we are asking them to do these things. That said, I am without a doubt that both dogs love doing this.”
