folk gave him the confidence to get on a stage.

“I had never performed in front of a crowd. I never had the courage to get up and expose myself to the criticism or whatever could have come with it. Being there opened a lot of opportunities for me because everyone was so welcoming. I got to meet a lot of good, friendly, nice people.”

Tom and Jessie moved to Indiana when Trey was seven. Trey was interested in baseball and football in Saskatoon. “And hockey, of course,” Tom said with a laugh.

With the move, the focus changed. Trey would be a basketball player.

“In Indiana we play basketball,” Tom said emphatically. “That’s what we do.

And we play it the right way.”

Trey Lyles plays basketball the right way. The boy some may remember at St. Thomas and Caswell schools is all grown up. And up and up and up. Trey Lyles is 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds. Wouldn’t he look good in an Evan Hardy Souls jersey?

Trey is ranked in the top 10 among high school players in the United States. His name appears in different spots on various lists. Sport Illustrated gives him a high ranking. A reporter was in Camby earlier this month for an interview. The magazine took photos at one of Trey’s high-school games.

Trey is taking the notoriety in stride.

Decorations on our tree are special to us (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)

A&W bear brings Christmas joy

very year after Sandy brings the Christmas tree in from the garage, takes it from its bag, assembles it and puts an extra string of lights on it, she calls our sons to hang the ornaments.

It has become a tradition that the A&W Root Bear ornament is first to go onto the tree.

Sandy said we got him from my father.

I’m guessing my father bought a Mama meal and the bear was a bonus. He then regifted it to us.

That’s my theory.

Editor If you look quickly at our tree, your eyes would meet the bear’s almost immediately. I am sure when our will is probated someday our three sons will battle over the bear.

“Mom said I could have it.”

“I don’t see that in writing.”

“I’ll take the bear, and you can have mom’s fine china.”

“What about me? I get the bear, and you guys can fight over the china, Dad’s Bobby Orr hockey card and the 1998 Ford Escort.”

“Why is china called fine? Is there unfine china?

I think we need to find a couple more A&W Root Bears before we pass on to the great Teen Burger in the sky.

I remember the first Christmas Sandy and I had. We decorated the tree with matching ornaments that came by the box. I am still scarred by the fact Sandy would move the ones I put on the tree.

As the years advanced we started to accumulate individual ornaments. Many have stories to tell. Sandy’s Aunt Moira used to send us an ornament every year.

Being she lives in Arizona, these were ornaments you couldn’t find here. They become more special as we age.

My favourite ornaments are the ones our sons made at school. A snowflake Brandon made is at the top of the tree. It looks a bit like a pretzel, but it gets the job done. Sandy reminded me that we used to have a real live pretzel on the tree. It was a school craft. Ryan has a doily angel on the tree. Jay has an egg-carton bell.

We have ornaments commemorating the births of our three sons. There is an ornament for each of our dogs – Chipper who died in 2011 and Dodger

who joined our family in 2012. Maybe Dodger ate the real live pretzel.

One ornament with a special place in our hearts is for Sandy’s brother-in-law Mel Diamond. Mel died in an accident in India five years ago.

We were at the farmers’ market not long after his death. Sandy stopped to look at goods from India being displayed by a vendor. A bell caught her attention. It was stunning and reminded us of Mel and how he embraced Indian culture. Every year when it goes onto the tree I smile at his memory and mourn our loss.

It is a gift that Mel’s family – my sister-in-law Karen and my nephews Josh and Noah – will be in Saskatoon for Christmas.

Christmas spirit soars in Saskatoon’s music scene

IT ALMOST seems that the pre-Christmas spirit brings out the very best in Saskatoon’s musicians and singers.

Consider this recent run of sparkling performances: The Saskatoon Children’s Choir at Third Avenue United Church on Nov. 29-30; The Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra at the Broadway Theatre on Nov. 30; the Saskatoon Symphony’s Holiday Gospel Spectacular at TCU Place on Dec. 7; the Saskatoon Symphony’s Messiah at Third Avenue on Dec. 14; the Maurice Drouin Jazzy Christmas at The Bassment on Dec. 14-15; the Fireside Singers with Christmas Memories at TCU Place on Dec. 20-21.

Variety galore, groups of all sizes, all basically homegrown, championship performances, even though many were held during the deepest elements of the cold spell. Also remarkable is that at almost every venue the sold-out sign was either posted, or the audience totals People were close to being sold-out.

But if you talk to any of the group leaders – Phoebe Voigts, Dean McNeill, Floyd Collins, Victor Sawa, Maurice Drouin or Marilyn Whitehead – there is a consensus that Christmas is a special time of the year to go on the stage. But they will also say the talent they introduce wears Saskatoon’s special label, and they can perform any night, anywhere and in any year.

On a night when the outside temperature was wavering between -28 and -29, nothing warmed the evening better than the Holiday Gospel Spectacular, a symphony experiment for the first time and something worth repeating. There were 62 voices on stage, all under the direction of Collins. His special soloists were close to blowing the roof off the place with stirring selections, including O Happy Day as the closer.

The symphony came back with another performance of Handel’s Messiah at Third Avenue Church. Sawa conducted, James Hawn directed the Saskatoon Chamber Singers, and the seats were all full. The Messiah is inspirational every time out. The Hallelujah Chorus is the show-stopper, and the event is something Saskatonians come to expect every year.

For the jazz audiences, Drouin surrounds himself with four of his regular players, three The St. John School choir was among those that entertained lunch-time crowds strings players and a handful of vocalists. He in all ages, 44 in the concert choir, likes to surprise people. Take, for instance, since 1980, has been a super pitch man for the homegrown talent.

MARK TURNER is poised to take over the interim general manager’s chair with the Saskatoon Symphony Society.

Turner has been the creative force of a Saskatoon group which sought to buy Third Avenue United Church and transform it into a concert hall. Their bid was rejected by the church. As a music educator he has a good sense of programming and marketing, and he has built up considerable contacts within the industry.

Most recently, he promoted The Nylons Christmas, a live performance at the Roxy Theatre, and he is following up under the banner of TAC Concerts with dates for The New Canadian Brass on Jan. 23, piano legend Jon Kimura Parker on Feb. 28 and classical artist James Ehnes on April 6.

THE PURE JAZZ fans were thrilled to watch Herbie Hancock, the creative pianist, keyboardist and composer, perform outdoors on the Delta Bessborough stage during the 2013 SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival in June.

For someone who has won so many Grammy awards, there’s always a question: What’s next for the 73-year-old genius?

What’s next is Hancock’s acceptance on the Kennedy Centre list of honourees, a program which will be televised by CBS on Sunday, Dec. 29. Hancock, Billy Joel, Shirley MacLaine, Carlos Santana and Martina Arroyo will perform in front of fellow artists and American President Barack Obama at a gala in Washington.

“I was overwhelmed with emotion and, quite frankly, speechless when I was told I had been selected,” Hancock said on his website.

In 2011 May Guan learned what it meant to slow down. Not because she wanted to; she didn’t have a choice. Husband Ray needed a bone marrow transplant, which he would receive in Seattle. May took the time off from the family businesses, which includes real estate, to accompany and convalesce him.

On this frigid winter’s evening the exterior of the former Yummy Yummy restaurant is buzzing with activity. Workers are installing new exterior Asian Hut neon signage and banners. The interior has been completely renovated.

Peter and his girlfriend, along with Peter’s business partner, Amy, are flying from back to front, monitoring orders and the activity outside the building. Peter is relaxed. At the ripe age of 27, Asian Hut is his third business.

“I said to him, ‘You want to open?’” said May. She was ready for Peter to get the old Yummy Yummy restaurant back off the ground.

Peter admits that reopening the restaurant is a very familiar feeling.

“It’s definitely like reliving my childhood,” he said.

“I’m so proud to welcome back all of our old customers, while introducing ourselves to new ones.”

Ray does the Chinese food, Peter does the Vietnamese food, and Amy serves up the Thai food.

“The menu has over a hundred items,” said Peter. “At that, we tried to keep it low.”

The food is fresh, and portions are generous. Familiar fare is comforting, and exotic flavours don’t disappoint.

Amy’s background in Saskatoon restaurants and Thai cooking provides a level of variety in menu items that Peter and his parents are very proud of.

“You’re just like an old man,” May jokes with a regular customer as he eases his frozen bones into a chair. He orders the broth fondue, asking May how good it is.

“It’s amazing,” replied May. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s no choice around here. I make sure of it.”

The Asian Hut Restaurant is located at 320 Avenue C South. It is open seven days a week, including Christmas and New Year’s. Find them on Facebook, and watch for them on Twitter and Instagram soon. You can call Asian Hut at 306-954-0188.

Lyles can play all positions

(Continued from page 1) “It’s fun, but you have to stay down to earth with it. I definitely enjoy it while it is going on. I really try to stay focused at what is at hand.

I don’t take what is going on to too high a level. Definitely my parents keep me level, and that helps out a lot.”

Trey started training with his father in the fourth grade.

“We got started early and would spend hours upon hours working out,” Tom said. “We worked on fundamental things: ball handling, ball handling, foot work, foot work, shot, shot.”

Tom sometimes speaks in double time when talking about his training program.

“He was learning stuff in the fifth grade or sixth grade that he would never see or hear until he was in high school. It has only been Trey and me. I am the only person he has ever worked with and probably the only person he wants to work with.”

They started with two-a-days.

Then three-a-days. The alarm rings at 5:45 a.m. in the Lyles home. There is a session before school, one after school and another after dinner.

“We have such a great relationship,” Tom said. “A lot of time fathers and sons that are coaches and players have a disconnect, and they butt heads. We have never done that.

We always work on a respect basis.

I totally respect my son as a person, and I respect him as my son. It is okay to agree to disagree, but we don’t ever have to be disrespectful to each other.”

Trey sees it the same way.

“Our relationship is great,” he said. “We are best friends. Everything

I do on the basketball court he has taught me how to do. He’s the only reason why I started playing basketball. Obviously what he was doing worked; I’m alright as a player right now. I think basketball just brings our relationship even closer together, makes it better.”

Trey said there are sacrifices to be made to be an elite athlete.

“Definitely. While the guys were hanging out and going to the mall, I was in the gym working out with my dad. So it has been a sacrifice, but it’s a good one. It’s paid off, and I will continue doing that. It was definitely a goal to be where I am at now.”

Tom and Trey have had friendly competitions from time to time.

“I am a better shooter than he is,” Tom said with a laugh. “But that kid is strong. That kid is strong. It’s tit for tat. I’m a better shooter, but he’s strong, man.”

Trey doesn’t see that quite the same way.

“Nah; not anymore,” Trey said when told his father considers himself the better shooter. “He used to be when I was younger, but not anymore. Now since we work on it so much, I can’t agree with that at all.”

Trey first dunked a basketball in Grade 6. It was no big deal, he said.

“I was about 6-foot-6, so it wasn’t that far (up).”

Can you imagine trying to arrange the students for that year’s class photo?

Trey is a complete player, his father said. But is he one of those special few?

“To be honest I have never said that,” Tom said. “It was more people coming to me and saying how fundamentally sound he is. Like his

footwork. And he is so skilled. I am thinking he’s my son, and I never saw it that way. I saw it as we are just in here putting in work. He’s a sponge. The more you gave him, the more he wanted. He understood how to work and the purpose of work.”

Tom said the early training was difficult because he didn’t know how big his son would be. The solution was easy.

“I don’t know if you are going to be a guard or a forward or a centre, but I do know you are going to be able to play every position. You are going to understand every position, and you are going to understand how to work. And that is to work hard.

I always told him this is not hard work. Hard work is that guy out in the snow working in sub-zero degree weather every day just to feed his family. This here is a game.”

Trey Lyles can play every position.

“Trey is not going to be a position guy,” Tom said. “He is a basketball player. He’s a guy that can play point at 6-10, he can play shooting guard at 6-10, he can play small forward at 6-10, he can play power forward at 6-10, and he can play centre at 6-10.

And he understands every position.”

Does Tom Lyles think his son will be an NBA player?

“I try to be as unbiased as possible. As his trainer, there is no doubt Trey will be an NBA player. Trey has all the potential to be a superstar in the NBA. “On the flipside of that coin, the only thing that will keep him from becoming a superstar in the NBA will be how focused he will be on reaching that goal,” said Tom the father. “If he stays focused and com-

Tom Lyles (left) has coached Trey since Day One (Photo submitted)

mits himself to being a stand-out player or superstar in the NBA, I think that will be because he has all the tools. All the tools.

“I tell him all the time: ‘You can make it in the league.

There are 450 jobs in the NBA, and you can get a job, and you will get a job. Or you can be it. There are only a handful of guys that are the NBA. You think of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. Those guys are the NBA and a few others that are up and coming. You can sit and on the bench and be happy with that, or you can be one of the figureheads of the NBA.’” (Continued on page 7)

Lyles is an outstanding student (Continued from page 6)

Trey has been compared to Tim Duncan, a 6-foot-11-inch power forward/centre with the San Antonio Spurs. Duncan has been the NBA MVP twice.

“It’s definitely a valid comparison,” Trey said. “I would say I am a little better outside shooter and ball handler than he is. From the post inside I feel that’s a great comparison.”

The decision Trey made to go to the University of Kentucky wasn’t easy. Virtually every basketball powerhouse in the U.S. made a pitch to him. And down the road just 45 minutes from his home is the University of Indiana. Think the movie Hoosiers. Think five national championships. Think Bobby Knight. Think Isiah Thomas.

The Big 10, the conference that includes Indiana, is not suited to Trey’s game, Tom said. Trey is a finesse player who likes to put the ball on the floor and run.

“The Big 10 is more a banging, grinding conference. There is nothing wrong with that. It’s just I didn’t think it was the best one for him and the type of player he is. I didn’t think that would be the best stage to put him on to showcase his talent — not only to the college world but at that next level.”

School is important in the Lyles’ home.

Trey has never had less than a 3.92 Grade Point Average. (4.00 is an A average.)

“He has really has done things the right way. He is a model student. When he goes to Kentucky he will have a whole semester of college already behind him — 15 credits as an incoming freshman. Instead of graduating in four years, he could graduate in two with a bachelor’s degree. His mom and I instilled in him the understanding that before you can play this game your grades have to be right, or you are not playing.”

There is a strong possibility Trey will leave college after one year to enter the NBA draft.

“It’s all about timing,” Tom said. “With that timing you have to be mentally ready to step into that role as an NBA player. You are not just talking about basketball now; you’re talking about all the things that come along with this game — all the freedom, the money, all the free time and all of the other distractions. Are you able to handle that? Are you able to handle it in a way it isn’t destructive of you and what you stand for, or destructive of the organization you are going to be representing? If you are not able to do that, then you need to stay in school.”

Trey feels he is equipped to handle everything on his father’s checklist.

“If the opportunity presents itself for me

When it comes to being in the NBA, you have a lot of free time and stuff like that. But I feel the way they have raised me that I would make the right decisions and definitely do the right things. So I see myself being OK if I am able to go to the NBA.” Tom said he was pleased Trey played for Canada at the world U19 championships this past summer in Prague, Czech Republic. He was outstanding at the competition despite being 17 at the time and playing the last half of the tournament with an ankle injury.

“There is nothing like representing your country,” Tom said. “Making that decision to represent Canada instead of the U.S. I think is so important.”

Canada finished sixth, its best result ever on that stage.

Trey averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. Against Spain he had 25 points and 17 rebounds, the highest single-game rebounding total for a player at the championships.

“It was great,” he said. “We went out there and represented the country. It was a fun experience, and I was glad I was a part of it.”

Tom said he and Trey would like to come back to Saskatoon sometime soon.

They would visit schools and perhaps hold a camp.

“There may be people in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan that don’t think they have a shot, but they are wrong if they put that work in,” Tom said.

Banjo important part of professor’s life

T

By Michael Robin U of S News

his is where the magic happens,” said Michael Corcoran as he ushers a visitor into an instrument-filled room at his home near the University of Saskatchewan campus. He picks up a banjo — a beautiful work of exotic woods and glittering brass — and with a smile picks out the first few notes of O Canada.

“OK, I guess we’d better do this right,” he said, as he slips on his finger picks and launches into a quick, toe-tapping bluegrass riff.

By day, Corcoran is a professor in the College of Medicine, where he has worked for years to understand neural plasticity — how the brain and nervous system adapt to experience.

After work, much of his time is devoted to his avocation — the banjo — and rare is the day that he doesn’t pick up the instrument. He even dreams of music. At least once he has awoken in the middle of the night with a song in his head. He got up and played it to capture it before it vanished from memory.

Corcoran is well known in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan music circles and has brought the banjo’s distinctive sound to several bluegrass bands.

He has also played and taught at the Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old Tyme Music Festival at Ness Creek, and occasionally hosts the oncemonthly bluegrass program on CFCR community radio.

While the banjo may be most closely associated with bluegrass, the instrument has a long history in popular music: from The Eagles and the Doobie Brothers to Big Wreck and Nellie Furtado. “

RS31444.L23 Rob

“There’s been a tremendously productive communication between popular music and bluegrass,” Corcoran said, giving as an example Manfred Mann’s Fox on the Run, “which is likely more well-known as a bluegrass standard rather than its original rock version.

“I mean, bluegrass is just hillbilly music. It’s country music in a certain context, a certain style, but you should be able to poach good material from wherever you can find it.”

Corcoran’s own love affair with the banjo began in high school in the early 1960s listening to the Kingston Trio. The sound of the instrument drew him in and made him a fan.

His mother drove him around Chicago in search of someone to teach him, eventually finding a classical guitarist who played a little banjo on the side. That first teacher passed Corcoran on to another player, a “real clone of Pete Seeger’s banjo playing.

“But the heavens didn’t open up until one of those guys gave me a tape of a Flatt and Scruggs album — literally, a reel-to-reel tape. I heard Earl Scruggs and I thought, ‘That’s it! That’s what I want to do with my life.’ At least this part of my life.”

Corcoran went to extraordinary lengths to figure out how Scruggs produced his sound. He bought albums, played them on his parent’s basement stereo with a microphone in front of one of the speakers and recorded them on reel-to-reel tape.

Then he slowed down the tape and de-tuned his banjo to compensate for the distorted playback. With no formal musical training, he had to learn entirely by ear.

“I probably spent about four hours a day when I was in my second year of high school, when I should have

They can be served as appetizers or late-night party snacks. They also make a tasty addition to a breakfast table. I doubled the recipe last Christmas and they were gone long before our company was.

Just imagine the interesting, giving things that you could do to make someone’s life a little better. Whether a random act or planning a nice gesture — be it helping someone to do their shopping, making a meal or shovelling a walk —I don’t think that being nice is a selfish thing to do. In fact sometimes I think it takes courage.

This Christmas I plan to visit an old friend that I have been meaning to visit. Sometimes my schedule gets the better of me.

Thanks and best wishes from our mayor

A

s we approach the end of 2013 and the completion of my 10th year as mayor, I want to thank you for the great questions you sent to the Saskatoon Express this year. I’m happy to answer all of them.

I love this city, and I want it to continue to be a very special place for all of us.

Every family has the right to feel safe and secure in their home, not just through the holidays, but all year round. The Saskatoon Police Service has worked hard over the last decade to reduce crime and connect with the community. I believe they are succeeding. There are more officers on the streets, response times are down, and the latest Civic Services survey indicates people are feeling safer. We want that to continue.

Safety and security aren’t just policing issues. They are community issues that require a commitment from each of us.

Every day volunteers are working with young people and adults to make a positive difference in our city. They are involved in sports and cultural programs, programs to end violence in our families and neighbourhoods, feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless.

I also want to thank the United Way for leading the effort to end homelessness in Saskatoon through the Plan to End Homelessness. The Christmas season certainly is the time to recognize all this hard work.

On behalf of council, I want to say thank you to all the hard-working people who made Circle Drive South Bridge a reality in 2013. I hear all the time how it is changing peoples’ lives by giving them more time with their families and less time on the road. I want to thank the provincial government and the federal government for their financial support.

Another important roadway just opened: the 25th Street extension from Idylwyld Drive to First Avenue. It will ease traffic congestion in the downtown and carry at least 25,000 vehicles a day.

Traffic congestion is certainly one of council’s top priorities for 2014. We are working hard to make the Parkway Bridge/ Traffic Bridge project a reality, and we should hear from the federal government in the first half of 2014.

The city administration will be working hard in 2014 to get roads paved, potholes filled, snow cleared and streets swept.

Council approved more than $36 million to these important quality of life concerns.

Yes, we are a city of bricks and mortar, but we are really about hearts and souls.

As we gather with family and friends this holiday season, Mardele and I wish each of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Season’s Greetings.

Sincerely, Donald Atchison

they asked us to make the scope of the deferral even larger. Our neighbourhoods are safer, our seniors are in their homes longer, and those who need attainable housing now have that opportunity. It's unfortunate your reader doesn't see what is truly good about Saskatoon.

Question: Mismanagement of street snow clearing last year made Saskatoon one of the most dangerous winter driving places in Canada. Already this winter we've experienced far too many vehicle accidents due to horrendous ice covered streets. You've told us what it is going to cost to make Saskatoon a safer winter place to drive. I don't think you've done a very good job of telling us how you are going to manage this commitment. Tell me how I can believe we will consistently have safer, better winter street conditions this winter.

Isn't this an expectation we deserve?

Mayor Atchison: There you go again.

In every city in Canada people say they have the worst winter driving conditions. We all expect good winter driving conditions, and I certainly expect our city crews to perform to a high level. As a council we have given the administration the financial tools to do the job. Now it is up to them.

As for accidents, the Saskatoon Police Service has been very clear that drivers are going too fast for winter conditions.

Everyone needs to drive a little slower and take a little more time to get where they want to go.

In the 2014 budget, council approved an additional $1.4 million for snow clearing. That includes plowing our priority one and two streets, collector streets and eventually moving into the neighbourhoods.

For girlfriend-disliking mom, mum’s the word

Unless you change your attitude, ear Lianne, I would feel terribly sorry for her should I can’t stand my son’s girlfriend. she ever be your daughter-in-law. Do not She is not pretty. He could do so criticize or insult her to your son. Why much better than her. Her parents are rough don’t you give her a chance? Ask her if she which makes her so rough around the would like to go with you for a girl’s day. edges. How do I tell him that he could have Book manicures and pedicures, and go for anyone he wants?

What would you suggest? — Laura Dear Laura, Your letter saddens me. Here you are a devoted, caring mom who has saved your daughter from a rollercoaster of a life and traded it for peace and stability. You did not end up with the white picket fence we all dream of, but you must examine the alternatives. Having your little girl raised in an environment where there is turmoil and deceit is far unhealthier than having her raised by a loving single mom. Children require

the sense of being secure. They do not do well with yelling and fighting surrounding them. You did what a loving mother should do by removing her from a situation that is not in her best interest. In time you will feel ready to date again. Please ensure that you are not introducing your daughter to any men until you are confident that he is the one for you. Children get confused and can feel threatened if they see mom dating a variety of people. In the meantime, continue to be the best mom you can be.

Saskatoon Transit Services and SGI have once again partnered to bring Saskatoon residents free Transit and Access Transit Of service on New Year’s 3can20j Fiddlehead Fame Eve as part of the annual Ding in the New Year initiative.

The free bus service will run on Tuesday, Dec. 31 from 8 p.m. to 2:45 a.m. on a weekday evening schedule. (It may vary slightly by route.)

“The best way to ensure the holiday is a happy one is to ride the bus and don’t drink and

Trust me. I am only thinking of you, your children and the playoffs.

6. Eat as a family.

7. Eat like the French (all-day lunches with excessive amounts of wine). I believe this works because the diners pass out and don’t wake up in time to eat supper. Make the meal a marathon, not a sprint. Try to stretch out the meal, or you’ll stretch out your Lulu Lemons.

8. Start meals with salad or soup. Stuff ‘em early, stuff ‘em hard, and they won’t be able to wolf down dessert.

9. Have a fridge full of healthy snacks like carrot sticks, celery sticks and Snickers sticks. Obesity comes not only from eating the wrong things, but not eating the right things. Undernourished kids gain weight as they get hungry, and they end up eating cardboard-like products.

10. No junk food in the house. Changing eating habits as a child is easier than treating obesity as an adult. I might add that nowhere on the Snickers wrapper does it actually refer to itself as a junk food per se.

11. Be active in promoting active lifestyle options for kids in your community.

12. Let them sleep. Leptin, a good-guy hormone, is released during sleep.

A few tips on how to prevent your young ‘un from becoming a big ‘un.

1. Best thing to do for an obese child is to give him a prescription for a new set of parents. Studies indicate that many parents with obese kids, especially overweight boys, see their child through rose-coloured glasses and don’t see the big problem.

“Porky’s not obese, Doctor, he’s just big boned. Now you’ve upset him. There, there now, you’re mommy’s little piglet, have another Oreo.”

2. Breast is best. A study found children who had been breastfed were 34 per cent less likely to become obese, regardless of how chubby or diabetic their mother is.

Of course if your big baby is 27 years old, then perhaps he’s best left fat.

3. Role model or roll model. “OK kid, go out and do some pushups or something.

Just leave me alone and keep away from my remote!” Kids born to overweight moms are 15 times likely to be obese by age six. In fact they start to pack on the Gerbers by age three.

4. Remove words like fat, exercise and diet, and replace with more fun euphemisms like play, great nutrition and kumquat. (Kumquat has nothing to do with this article. I just think it’s a hilarious word.)

5. Don’t eat in front of TV. In fact get LS90093.L17 rid of your TV. Go ahead. If you have a 172-inch Liza LCD, then as a caring medical

REPORT TO THE CITIZENS OF SASKATOON One year into my fourth term as Saskatoon’s Mayor, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve you. It has been a busy year. We opened Circle Drive South and are moving forward with plans for the Parkway Bridge/Traffic Bridge project. We finalized the 2014 budget. Once again we held my annual Mayor and Council Town Hall Meetings in each of the ten wards.

Over the last ten years Saskatoon has grown and prospered.

Our community is home to nearly 40,000 new residents as our population increases toward 250,000. We are a successful, multi-cultural city welcoming families from across Canada and around the world.

New businesses are starting up and existing businesses are expanding. The Conference Board of Canada reports our economy will grow by 5.2% this year with an increase of 6.1% in jobs. That means we are #1 in Canada as we continue to diversify Saskatoon’s economy.

Over the past decade we have focussed on improving quality of life, creating opportunities and strengthening infrastructure.

Circle Drive South is open to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. What a magnificent project. People tell me the Circle Drive South Bridge has changed their lives. It connects neighbourhoods and families, improves productivity by shortening travel times and, finally, completes Saskatoon’s circle.

Unprecedented growth of 4% in 2012 saw the near completion of Evergreen and Hampton Village neighbourhoods.

Kensington is underway. The massive neighbourhood of Holmwood opens for construction next year. The communities of Elk Point and Aspen Ridge are in the planning stages.

Over the last five years, our nationally-recognized ‘Attainable Housing Program’ has spurred construction of 2,534 attainable housing units. Over the next 10 years, our goal is to build 5,000 more units.

During the past decade, storm sewer backup was a serious problem in some neighbourhoods. We invested millions of dollars in underground “super collector pipes.” They are an effective means of collecting overflow during rain storms so the sewer doesn’t back up in your basement.

During the Town Hall meetings you said your top priorities are roads, traffic congestion along with safety and security. I agree. Our roadway network is key. City Council’s commitment to spend $250 million dollars over the next 10 years to rehabilitate Saskatoon arterial, collector and neighbourhood streets is absolutely the right thing to do. I want to make sure the city resurfaces the bumpy road in your neighbourhood. In fact within the next three years the city expects to resurface nearly 500 lane kilometers of roadway. That is almost the dis-

tance from Saskatoon to Calgary.

To keep Saskatoon moving, we are committed to one of our most important infrastructure projects ever: the Parkway Bridge/Traffic Bridge project. The Parkway will connect the heavily populated northeast neighbourhoods with the employment rich areas of Marquis Industrial. The bridge will carry more than 25,000 commuters every day and dramatically ease traffic congestion on the overburdened Circle Drive North Bridge. The Traffic Bridge must be constructed to accommodate cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles, including transit and emergency vehicles.

Civic construction projects are keeping pace with growth.

The new Police Headquarters on 25th Street East will open in the spring. The award-winning Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan at River Landing will officially open in 2016. We are on track to relocate the ‘bus barns’ from Caswell Hill to the new Civic Operations Centre in southwest Saskatoon. When the downtown city yards move, we will begin work on Saskatoon’s much anticipated urban renewal program: The Yards. This innovative urban redevelopment alone could see an additional 10,000 people living and working downtown.

Through all of this expansion, the City has maintained a balanced budget. In fact, last year the city had a budget surplus of more than $5 million. We reinvested it in roads, snow removal and put $1.5 million in reserve. Our AAA credit rating from Standard and Poor’s proves Saskatoon is a prudent and financially sound city.

As we look to the future we must honour the past. We have a strong and positive relationship with aboriginal communities and First Nations. We must continue to find positive ways to engage young aboriginal men and women creating educational opportunities, and providing an avenue for an active role in the future of Saskatoon.

Like you, I love this city. I want Saskatoon to be the best in Canada. Families are moving here to find success and enjoy the quality of life only Saskatoon offers. We are a city of hope and opportunity and a city in which families feel safe and secure.

I want our children and grandchildren to grow up, live, work here and call Saskatoon home. Together we will continue to make Saskatoon, our city, a 21st Century City.

Donald J, Atchison

Mayor of Saskatoon

Views of the World

You better watch out, you better not cry • TC Chong, on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un executing his uncle for living a lifestyle that included gambling, womanizing, drinking and drugs: “A tip for his buddy Dennis Rodman: On your next visit, be sure to always sit with your back against a wall.”

• Bill Littlejohn, on Rodman planning another trip to North Korea: “He said no matter what happens he won’t cry uncle.”

• Janice Hough, on Miley Cyrus announcing she will perform in Times Square on New Year’s Eve just before the ball drops: “And across the country millions of Americans are thinking, ‘Can’t they just drop it on her? Please?’”

• With Miley, I’ll be surprised if the ball is the only thing that drops.

• From Torben Rolfsen: “A sign of too much Christmas shopping: my friend thought Armani and Old Navy were playing on TV.” • From the Shaw Fire Log (@ShawFireLog on Twitter): “I hate to get all sappy, but I just really love you guys.” I love you too, Shaw Fire Log. Thank you for following me on Twitter.

• From Hough: “When they total U.S. retail sales this December, will Mega Millions lottery tickets count?”

(So were these jokes.)

• Hough, on eight tech officials, including CEOs from Apple, Facebook, Yahoo and Google, writing a letter to President Obama and Congress calling for curbs to NSA surveillance: “Apparently they want the surveillance left to the private sector.”

• From @uberfacts: “In 1994 L.A. police arrested a man for dressing up as the Grim Reaper and standing outside the windows of old people’s homes. “I was looking for Larry King,” the man said.

• The shortest horror story? “The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door. ...” (Author: Fredric Brown) I can top that: Toronto Maple Leafs.

• An Olympic moment: If Jon Montgomery isn’t on the Canadian skeleton team, how will beer sales be affected in Sochi?

• From Rolfsen: “This Sochi Olympic torch relay is making the Donner Party expedition look like Apollo 17.”

• Hough, on Edward Snowden writing an open letter to the people of Brazil, saying he is willing to help the country investigate U.S. surveillance of Brazilian citizens: “Translation: Snowden is already tired of living in Russia.”

• From Rolfsen: “I miss the old, innocent days of Denver Broncos football when it was rocks in snowballs.”

• Chong, on Fox News’ Megyn Kelly being in deep doodoo for stating on air that Jesus and Santa are Caucasian: “Makes sense. Why else would Bing Crosby sing he’s dreaming of a White Christmas?”

• A study found that Ohioans swear the most of people from any state. You’d swear too if you lived in Cleveland.

• From Bill Littlejohn: “Employees at Yellowstone's Old Faithful say that the most consistent and predictable thing in their lives is Tony Romo.”

• The Maple Leafs aren’t going to lend Morgan Rielly to Team Canada for the world junior tournament. In a related story, they have offered to lend David Clarkson to anyone.

• From Rolfsen: “I would listen to Milan Lucic. There are no greater experts on ‘unprovoked attacks’ than the Bruins.”

• Chong, on Dez Bryant saying he left the field early because he didn’t want to be seen crying on the sidelines: “Tom Hanks tweeted: ‘Crying? Crying? There’s no crying in football.’”

• A study found travel decreases the risk of heart attacks and depression. Another study found standing at a baggage carousel increases the risk of heart attacks and depression.

The most blunderful time of the year

• Three thoughts from Paul McCartney on sitting through a Nets-76ers game: 3. Is Prokhorov back in the USSR? 2. I'm not half the fan I used to be; 1. It's been a hard day's night.

• Eleven of the Winnipeg Jets' first 32 games ended regulation in a draw. Even silk worms don't find themselves in so many ties.

• On Christmas Eve, TSN will present the top 100 bloopers of 2013. But enough about the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

• Bruins forward Milan Lucic was reportedly physically assaulted in downtown Vancouver while ordering gourmet poutine. It's shocking. There's gourmet poutine?

• According to a new study, women are least inclined to buy watches that

have erotically suggestive ads. This may explain why your wife never has time for sex.

• My sister told me tragic news such as one’s dog getting run over must be eased into: "Remember how Spot chased cars?"

Later she asked about the Knicks. I said, "They're chasing cars."

• A video of a female longboarder skating headlong into a herd of cows is going viral. Whatever she was attempting, it was an udder failure.

• During his recent trip to Sri Lanka, Prince Charles surprised his hosts when elephants fearlessly took food from his hand. I'm thinking they trusted his ears.

• News reports from South Carolina say

police were called to a home after relatives came to blows over decorating the Christmas tree. Think of it as festicuffs.

• A memo to the Nets after Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Brooklyn will make the playoffs and be tough to beat.

Don't Kidd yourself.

• The nickname of Duke's basketball bench boss is Coach 'K,' short for Krzyzewski.
