Andrea Lafond Education programs important to MVA’s new CEO

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express n one of her first visits to the Meewasin Trail as new CEO, Andrea Lafond took along a small, furry friend. It was a genius move, from the standpoint of engaging with people who were strolling in the valley.

“There’s nothing like getting a brand new puppy, which we have, and taking him down here, and seeing the diversity of folks who use our trails,” said Lafond last week.

The cute creature brought people flocking to Lafond — people of all ages, all ethnic backgrounds, all social status — which illustrated to her the vitality and community importance of “our beautiful river valley.”

“We bring together diversity and physical exercise,” said Lafond. “There’s a massive diversity connection to community and health.”

Just two weeks into her new role as CEO of the Meewasin Valley Authority (MVA), Lafond sandwiched an interview into a busy learning curve in which she was focused on “absorbing the inner workings” of the organization.

“I’m sitting with members of our team and doing a lot of site visits,” said Lafond.

“There are a lot of Meewasin sites that I don’t think people know are Meewasin sites, or that Meewasin is a part of or supporting.

“We have a large catchment area and there are a lot of things Meewasin has done over the years that folks don’t get.

It’s not just central to Saskatoon; it also goes out into the RM of Corman Park.

We do have land to conserve, and that

land is critical to our future.

“It’s also the work and effort, that folks don’t realize, on conservation that is significant. And the expertise that resides here to do that, and how we are sought out by similar organizations to be

that lead on conservation is not known, to anybody.

“The way I feel . . . is there’s a history and an opportunity to share and an opportunity to learn.”

Hilltops player, was then with the Saskatchewan department of Culture and Youth and he invited me to come back to Saskatoon to coach. That was the beginning of the Saskatoon Rowing Club.”

In 1973, Haver, Neil Garvie (also of Hilltop fame), Ron Trischuk and Stuart Meeklah became the first Saskatchewan rowers to appear at a Canada Summer Games. Equipment and a training program from Winnipeg were borrowed.

In the earliest days, Haver remembers how the boat was stored under a portion of the Bessborough Hotel where a restaurant, Tree Tops, was located. Rowers would carry the 300-pound boat down past the bandshell and into the South Saskatchewan River.

Races were held at various locations on the river, including the 1979 Western Canada Summer Games which started from behind the Mendel Art Gallery to the finish line near the Broadway Bridge.

As the talent pool increased, some would also do indoor training at Albert School.

For the 1989 Canada Summer Games, officials wanted to create a six-lane channel in the middle of the river and there was a formidable dredging challenge ahead. In May 1988, the dredging began with the intention of digging up 50,000 cubic metres of silt and pumping the silt towards the banks. Of the $1.3 million spent in rowing and canoeing for the Games, $351,000 was spent on dredging.

coach Howard Campbell believed he had a women’s team picked from Regina. Our Saskatoon team challenged them to a race and won. We challenged them again and won. When we won the third time, he conceded he’d use some Saskatoon rowers.”

The Games were a launching pad for both Duncan and Baerg, who went to international heights. Duncan rowed at the worlds four times (1993, 1997, 1998 and 1999) and competed for Canada at the 2000 Olympics in Australia. Baerg was a gold medallist at the 2003 worlds in Italy and joined the silver-medal winning Canadian team, along with a former Saskatonian, Jake Wetzel, at the 2004 Olympic Games.

“It was amazing that we had two rowers come out and compete internationally. I saw both of them grow. Tracy was very analytical, very technical, she was always looking for the right answers. Cam’s development came mostly after his move to Victoria. He was naturally athletic and when he got into fast company, he pushed himself to a higher level,” said Haver.

Haver was named coach of the year by the Saskatchewan Rowing Association in 1989, 1990 and 1999.

He has been deeply involved in the master’s program from 1985 until 2005 and he and his brother-in-law Bob Ellard won gold at the world championships in 1985.

Twice boats have been named after him.

His lifetime membership award from the Saskatoon Rowing Club came in 2000. He won the Sask Sport volunteer coach of the year award in 2002.

His coaching ability is perhaps best summed up by McCarty, who told him, “There was never a day that I didn’t want to row and never a day where I didn’t receive help from you. You taught me perseverance, patience, sportsmanship and how to row really fast.”

The beauty of rowing was that it was a family thing.

Haver’s wife Ann achieved her crowning moment as a competitor by combining with Lindy Antonini to win the master’s world championship in pairs in 1998. She also captured a bronze for being part of the mixed quad. For that, she was named master athlete of the year in Saskatchewan. Bob and Ann still row four mornings a week.

Their son John was the 2001 Rowing Canada sculler of the year in 2001, won bronze medals with Morgan Jarvis at the world under-23 championships in 2004 and 2005, shared in a gold medal at the 2007 Pan-American Games and was voted Canadian and Saskatchewan coach of the year in 2014.

Daughter Kate enjoyed rowing success at the University of Wisconsin, attending for four years, helping the school reach the NCAA championships in 2008 and 2009.

Daughter Tori was competitive with the Saskatoon Lasers swimming club, once reaching the junior nationals.

Haver calls rowing a sport “which is very disciplined, very methodical and very technical. Compared to other sports, the requirement for aerobic ability is almost second to none. I love every moment because I’m about the sport, the club and the family.”

It was Love at first sight for Blades GM Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express itch Love left Everett, Washington as a Silvertips hero, and now he wants to earn that same respect in Saskatoon as the head coach of the Saskatoon Blades.

Love was introduced as the Blades new head coach last week, replacing Dean Brockman, who was fired on March 18. The native of Quesnel, B.C., signed a contract for four seasons, with a club option for a fifth campaign.

Love originally joined the Silvertips for their inaugural WHL campaign in 2003-2004 as a rugged defenceman and helped them advance to the league championship series. He was the Silvertips captain in his over-age WHL season in 2004-2005.

After playing six seasons in the minor professional ranks, in 2011 Love became the first former Silvertips player to rejoin the club as an assistant coach. He was the Silvertips assistant coach and assistant to the general manager this past season as Everett made its second appearance in the WHL final after finishing third overall in the WHL regular season standings at 47-20-2-3.

“Don’t get me wrong, this was a tough decision,” said Love, who will turn 34 in June. “I’ve spent many years there — nine years in total as a player and a coach out of that 15-year history of that franchise.

“It was time for me to be a head coach.”

M

AS060404 Aaron

About a year ago, the Blades hired Love’s father, Harley, as a scout. Shortly thereafter, Blades general manager Colin Priestner met Mitch and remembered his firm handshake and sense of optimism.

When it came time to interview candidates for the Blades head coach position, Priestner thought Love might be the guy the Blades wanted.

“I just got a gut feel about him very early,” said Priestner. “I really wanted to trust that.

“I trusted a lot of people I spoke to that worked with him, coached with him and played for him. I just literally have not heard anything other than very, very positive from everybody.”

Harley was on hand for the introductory press conference to announce Mitch as Blades head coach. During four of Mitch’s seven seasons on the Everett coaching staff, Harley was a Silvertips scout.

The father enjoyed the fact he would get to work with his son on the same WHL franchise again.

“First of all, I am very proud as a parent, and I am excited for him,” said Harley.

“He has worked hard to get to this point.

He’ll be a good fit for this franchise.”

Harley said Mitch brings a number of good traits from his time in Everett that will help him with the players in Saskatoon.

“He is a good communicator with players,” said Harley. “He is a teacher, and he cares.

“I think that the players will like that approach.”

Mitch Love will be the new head coach of the Saskatoon Blades.

(Photo by Darren Steinke) While Mitch was with the Silvertips, he was an assistant coach for Canadian teams at the Under-17 World Hockey Challenge in 2015 and 2016.

One of his first orders of business with the Blades will be to find an assistant coach to work with returning assistant coach Ryan Keller.

He is thankful to Blades owner Mike Priestner and Colin Priestner for giving him a chance to be the team’s head coach.

Love said it will be easy to see his style.

“I am passionate about everything I do,” said Love. “I get a little fiery on the bench at times.

“I want our players to play with that kind of jam too. I want us to be a team that comes to the rink with smiles, that comes to the rink understanding there is going to be work in place, but we can have fun doing that. This has got to be a place they want to come hang out.”

Huskies quarterback learning from the best

Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express hen you have been a backup quarterback for two seasons for a Canadian university, you don’t expect to get invited to a CFL training camp.

Mason Nyhus, who has been a reserve quarterback for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies football team, was floored when he was told by Huskies head coach Scott Flory there was an opportunity to attend training camp with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Nyhus gave the obvious answer: he wanted to go. He is attending Roughriders camp as part of the CFL’s Canadian quarterback internship program.

The 20-year-old knows he will be returning to the Huskies for his second season of eligibility to play behind fifth-year starter Kyle Siemens.

“I was a little surprised when I got the call,” said Nyhus, who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 195 pounds. “I’m just here to learn and get better.

“Ultimately, I am trying to push Kyle (Siemens) to be the best this year, and it will just make both of us better so coming out here is just a great thing for the Huskies.”

Nyhus redshirted his first season with the Huskies. Coming off the bench last season, he completed 15 of 22 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

He came to the Huskies as a highly-touted prospect from the Riffle High School Royals football team in Regina.

Nyhus quarterbacked Saskatchewan to a bronze medal at the 2015 Football Canada Cup in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. Nyhus has followed the Roughriders closely.

“It was cool growing up,” said Nyhus. “I remember watching those ’07 and ’13 Grey Cups with my family.

“It was great growing up in that era with some championships coming in. Hopefully, they can bring some more here.”

At Roughriders camp, Nyhus said he is learning a lot when it comes to schematics, pocket movement and reading defences.

Nyhus has also enjoyed studying film with the veteran signal callers.

“It is pretty sweet just picking their brain obviously about what they see and how fast they see it,” said Nyhus. “(They see) just little things like body leverage from defenders.

“There is a lot of stuff that goes into it, so it is good to learn from the pros for sure.”

In the short time Nyhus has been with the Roughriders, head coach and general manager Chris Jones has gained a good first impression of the Huskies pivot.

“He has done a real nice job for us,” said Jones. “He’s got a little more bend than what you would anticipate.

“He gets in position, and he is certainly not afraid of contact. He does a real nice job of attacking.”

Brandon Bridge, who is the Roughriders’ veteran Canadian quarterback, has advocated for having more Canadians play quarterback in the CFL. He was impressed with Nyhus during the film study periods, noting the young pivot wasn’t overwhelmed by the information that came at him.

Mason Nyhus has been given the opportunity of a lifetime. (Photo by Darren Steinke) “He (Nyhus) is a very smart kid,” said Bridge. “He obviously understands the playbook very well.

“He obviously doesn’t get many reps or any reps at all.

For him to actually go through the reads and actually seeing like where he is throwing the ball, it is clear to say that he actually understands what the coach is trying to teach us or tell us.

“Now, it is just coming down to getting him some reps and actually letting him play. That is what it all comes down to.”

Nyhus has spent a lot of time at Roughriders camp hanging around Bridge.

“He is a really nice guy,” said Nyhus. “I like to pick his brain. He is super knowledgeable with the game, of course.

It is cool learning from a Canadian quarterback that is playing in the CFL, so that is a really cool experience for sure.”

Nyhus appreciates the fact that Bridge has advocated for more Canadians to play quarterback in the CFL and that Bridge has taken in a genuine interest in helping him become better.

“It is really cool for someone to be pushing for us to make it to the league,” said Nyhus. “Ultimately, that is lots of (U Sports) quarterbacks’ goals is to get to the CFL. We all appreciate what he is doing.”

Nyhus said going from the Huskies to the Roughrid-

ers is a big jump and similar to jumping from high school football with the Royals into university football with the Huskies.

During his first camp with the Huskies, Nyhus turned heads with his strong play in a scrimmage game against the University of Alberta Golden Bears. He said he has improved a lot from that moment.

“Back then, it was more you go and find the open guy and you just sling it,” said Nyhus. “Now, I am more comfortable in the system and I know my progressions and reads way better.

“I think I’ve come a long way just learning the playbook really good and learning defences for sure.”

He said it would be a dream to play for the Roughriders, but he is focused on using the four seasons of eligibility he still has with the Huskies and enjoying everything that comes with playing in the Canadian university ranks.

“Growing up in Regina, of course, you watch Riders and cheer for them,” said Nyhus, who is a business student at the U of S. “That would ultimately be a great goal to go for.

“Right now, it is just about winning a championship for U of S.” (You can see more of Darren Steinke’s work in his online blog stankssermon.blogspot.ca.)

“From Khaleegi in the Gulf area, that AS060407 Aaron features long, elaborately embroidered

Pride Festival

Entertainment

&Arts

a celebration of diversity Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express t’s June, and it’s time for Saskatoon citizens to show their Pride.

The 26th annual Saskatoon Pride Festival, hosted by the Saskatoon Diversity Network (SDN), is set to run from June 10-24. The two-week event aims to provide an accessible space in which to celebrate queerness, foster community pride and raise awareness of queer culture within the larger community.

SDN co-chair Amy Rees said the festival offers events for diverse audiences, including children, families and adults ages 55 and up.

“We’ve tried to make something for everybody. That was very important to us this year,” she said.

Rees noted that last year’s Pride parade reached record-setting numbers, and she’s been heartened by other important developments in society in recent years, such as the creation of gay-straight alliances (GSAs) in high schools, gender-neutral washrooms and, most recently, the removal of gender markers from birth certificates.

“We’re growing and evolving in such a positive way. I think it’s beautiful,” she said.

SDN is a volunteer-driven non-profit organization that serves the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, inter-sex, two-spirit, queer and questioning (LGBTTI2QQ) community, as well as family members and supporters. SDN raises awareness of the queer community and queer culture by organizing and promoting the annual Pride Festival. This year’s festival theme is bridging communities.

The Saskatoon Pride Festival has grown significantly throughout the years and now features the province’s biggest parade. Rees said last year’s parade, held during the festival’s 25th anniversary, had 115 group entries, with about 5,000 people walking in the parade and 5,000 spectators on the sidelines.

“We had a total of 10,000 people,” said Rees. “So we’re actually the largest parade in Saskatchewan as of right now, which I think is pretty cool.”

Organizers are expecting an even larger parade this year. It is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. on June 23. The judges’ corner will be located near the Hilton Garden Inn, where drag queens will be on hand to crown the best float.

Even before the Saskatoon Pride Festival begins, there will be some related events taking place in the city. That includes a professional women’s networking breakfast on

(Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) June 7 as well as Drag Queen Story Time, which will start at 4 p.m. on June 9 at Frances Morrison Library. The family-friendly story-time program, led by local drag queen and king performers, is free and is intended for all ages.

Rees said Drag Queen Story Time was a big hit last year, with about 100 people in attendance.

“That was our first year doing it, and so my thoughts are that we’ll probably surpass that this year for sure,” she said.

The Saskatoon Pride Festival will officially kick off on June 10 with a family swim from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Travelodge Hotel. The festival will also be a part of the annual Art in the Park event in the Caswell Hill neighbourhood on June 10.

Numerous events will take place throughout the two-week festival, including the flag raising on June 11 at Saskatoon City Hall, a fashion show on June 15, a 55+ event on June 16, the Family Day Carnival at the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo on June 17 and Drag Queen Bingo on June 20.

OUT on the River, the fifth annual Pride boat cruise on the South Saskatchewan River, is set for June 17. During the 19+ event, the Prairie Lily will transform into the Pride Ferry, complete with a bar, food and a DJ. Tickets are $65.

“We have three ticketed events throughout the whole month – everything else is either very affordable or free – so the boat cruise is one of our ticketed events,” said Rees.

Another big event is Saskatoon’s first two-spirit powwow, which will be held in the Bowl at the University of Saskatchewan on June 16. The intent of the powwow is to create a safe space for all people, especially two-spirit individuals, to take part in cultural celebrations in gender-affirming spaces.

The powwow is free and open to the public, with the grand entry scheduled for noon.

Members of the Pride Festival board are Jon Aschenbrener (centre) and clockwise: Connor Rodriguez, Amanda Brown, Cameron Goodfellow, Jill Fletcher, Amy Rees, Sarah Powell, Melissa Squire. (Photo Supplied) “We’re so excited for this. It actually has its own subcommittee and we’ve gotten some really amazing grants and government sponsorship money for this event, and we have a really, really great team of people organizing it,” said Rees.

“We’ve partnered with OUTSaskatoon on this, and we’re really looking forward to it. Our grand marshal for our parade this year is some individuals from the two-spirit community, and something that

we really, really want to highlight is just the inclusivity of having that and feeling involved and safe and like there’s a safe space for them, too. And so the two-spirit powwow definitely just goes hand-in-hand with that.”

Given that we perform dances that come from other cultures, when we perform folkloric or non-fusion styles of belly dance we do our best to learn the cultural context of the dances, understand the lyrics and feeling of the songs we use, try to study with teachers from the cultures we are reflecting and generally try to ensure that we are learning as much as we can in order to portray these dances well and respectfully.”

Topsy Turvy will feature Desert Beats’ students and instructors as well as a number of special guests with different performance styles. Morris said it will be “a fun and energetic show” that will offer new pieces and fan favourites.

ART IN THE PARK The 17th annual Art in the Park festival will take place on June 10 from noon to 5 p.m. in Ashworth Holmes Park, at 915 Ave. D North. The free one-day festival will feature an artists’ village, live music, children’s

activities, food and more.

The mandate of the festival is to support and enhance artful living in Saskatoon’s Caswell Hill neighbourhood during an allages event.

“You never know what you’ll find at Art in the Park and I think that’s part of its charm,” said festival co-ordinator Raeanne Van Beek.

“Over the years we’ve had a living statue, an art installation going to Burning Man, sole painting, a cob oven artist, the hulahoopster, face sculpting in clay and we’ve even painted a giant garbage bin. We’ve seen Shakespeare’s Shadows, experienced a living history reenactment of a Viking village and enjoyed First Nations dancers. One year, I remember a fine arts student polling people about what art is to them.”

The theme of the 2018 festival is branching out, which refers to exploring, expanding and trying new things. This includes a partnership with the Saskatoon Pride Festival, which also kicks off on June 10. Art in the Park and the Saskatoon Pride Festival are working together to feature a rainbow canvas collaborative art-making project.

“We’ve had many talented LGBTQ+ artists participate in past years, but we’ve noticed the two festivals often overlap,” said

He said his “increasing love of nature” helped him choose the field of environmental biology.

It was the right choice for Neufeld, who has enjoyed working in the lab of Philip McLoughlin, a professor in the Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Science.

“The McLoughlin lab is great for fieldwork. I do not mean to say that other labs do not have great fieldwork, but ours is very exciting,” said Neufeld. “I barely knew Phil McLoughlin when we left for the trip, and then we were darting bears and making jokes. One time we had three big males tranquilized at once and my job was to guard him while he quickly took samples and put on collars. We also have a great group of people working in the lab.

Phil McLoughlin is a lot of fun and I have made many friends working in the lab.”

Neufeld said the lab has several other projects on the go, including a population study on the feral horses of Sable Island, a crescent-shaped sand bar located 160 kilometres off the east coast of Nova Scotia. Neufeld has also worked on the Saskatchewan Boreal Caribou Project, which looks at survival and predation of boreal caribou.

“The work on the boreal caribou project is important for conservation. If we know what habitat caribou are selecting, Environmental biology student Branden Neufeld administers a tranquilizer reversal to a bear equipped with a GPS collar. this habitat can be protected to ensure the (Photo courtesy of Philip McLoughlin) survival of the species,” he said. “It also studies the effects of predation by wolves and black bears, which likely have significant impacts on the species’ survival.”

Dorrin Wallace, president of the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum board, hopes to have the DC3 he flew restored.

Museum volunteer Kenny McGill was a doctor in California before returning to his Saskatchewan roots.

Sask. Aviation Museum takes flight

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express enny McGill took a unique flight path to being a volunteer at the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum and Learning Center.

McGill, who worked for 46 years as a doctor in Southern California, took flying lessons there in the early 1960s, but didn’t get his licence.

He said one of the lessons had him leave Long Beach Airport and fly over the ocean. It was late in the afternoon and sun was getting low.

“The ocean haze came in and I couldn’t see the airport,” he said at an open house at the museum last week. “I could see the golf course and I could see the parking lot, but I couldn’t see the strip until I got right down to it.

“I thought, ‘That’s not so good.’”

Another time he had an instructor who was moonlighting at another job.

“He had a partner and they were making scale-model automobiles, so he was doing that at night. This one day I was supposed to climb out from Long Beach Airport and climb over the ocean so if the engine stops you can float down and land on the shore.

“I looked around and he was sound asleep; he wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing.”

McGill eventually gave up his effort to get a licence because he couldn’t meet the requirement of flying twice a week.

It didn’t stop him from flying though.

He became part of a group known as the Flying Samaritans. Three San Diego women who made an emergency landing in Mexico wanted to thank the villagers and flew back with all kinds of goodies. On board was a doctor who is said to have been mobbed by people in the village.

Soon after, that doctor and others made TA060403 weekend tripsTammy to provide care for villag-

K

ers. McGill became one of those doctors and often served as a pilot as well.

He still didn’t have a licence.

“Not officially,” he said with a laugh.

“In Mexico it didn’t seem to matter.”

The Flying Samaritans are still going strong and have expanded to a number of locations in Mexico.

McGill returned to his Saskatchewan roots 12 years ago. His family farm in the Rosetown area is 110 years old. He heard about the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum and Learning Center from a friend. He said the educational component drew him to be a supporter.

“I thought it was a great thing because it is an educational thing. As I understand it, they are bringing busloads of high school students and so on to give them an understanding of the past history of Saskatchewan aviation.”

He’s correct. Education is a big part of the museum, which is located in Hangar 5 at the Saskatoon airport.

Dorrin Wallace, president of the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum board, said it’s one thing to see and touch the planes in the collection, but another to learn about the rich aviation history in the province.

Much of it has never been recorded.

Wallace is a wealth of information. He started flying in 1960 and made a career of it beginning in 1965. He first flew for Norcanair and was with Points North Air when he retired in 1999.

His favourite piece at the museum is a DC3 which was built in 1943, the same year he was born. Wallace estimates he spent between 7,000 and 8,000 hours in the plane. Wallace and the plane pretty much retired together.

The two made trips to landlocked areas in the North: Fond du Lac, Stony Rapids, Wollaston Lake and Uranium City were regular stops.

When he became involved with the museum, one of the things on his list was

One day Declan Garman might fly big planes.

Sean Bridgette at the controls of a water bomber he used to fly. bringing his old DC3 to Saskatoon. It was parked in the bush up north. He knew there would be obstacles, with the biggest being the Otter Lake Bridge. Was it wide enough for the plane, even if its wings were clipped?

“I happened to be going fishing that summer so I took my tape measure along and measured the bridge,” Wallace said.

“And I measured the airplane. I figured there was four inches to spare which was exactly what there was.

“Later that year I got a crew together and we took the airplane apart and put it on a truck and we got the old girl here.”

Volunteers are putting the plane back together. It won’t fly, but it will look good, especially considering it is 75 years old.

Wallace believes the museum will be a great resource for schools. Some Grade

6 and Grade 10 students have been there for classes on the theory of flight. There are flight simulators for the students to try and all kinds of artifacts to see.

“We’re hoping down the road some of those schools will teach those courses here. We have people here who have either the pilot qualifications or engineering qualifications. So we can teach additional things.

“That class I was speaking about got an additional 10 hours of instruction from our volunteers and it really went over big with the kids. There wasn’t a kid in the class that wasn’t paying attention.”

Wallace said one of the things volunteers tell the students is there are currently thousands of jobs in aviation and they provide great careers.

The museum and learning centre is on Facebook.

I FEEL LIKE HIS MISTRESS NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND

Dear Lianne Thank you so much for introducing me to Paul. Things have been incredible thus far until I recognized I am feeling like his mistress rather than his girlfriend. You may recall, he has a 26 year old daughter.

When he and his ex wife split up his daughter did not speak to her dad for three years. Paul won her back by offering her a position within his company and jumping every time she demanded it. Rachel has stipulated that she will not meet me until Paul declares that I’m the one! I can

somewhat understand her point as she doesn’t want to get close to a temporary girlfriend but this is becoming beyond ridiculous. Last night I found myself circling the block several times when I saw her car still outside her dad’s place. They were having dinner and I was to meet him at his place at 9pm. His dinner with his daughter ran later than expected and I felt panicked that she would see me as if I was doing something wrong. I don’t want to be controlled by a 26 year old grown woman but I also understand his fear of her

stomping off again right out of his life if she doesn’t get her way. The funny thing is she and I have plenty in common and we will likely get along very well.

What do you suggest I do? – Leah Dear Leah, This is a tricky situation. Paul is the one who needs to take control of this. I can understand Rachel not wanting to get to know casual girlfriends but you two have been a couple for some time now and I understand you are working towards a forever relationship. He obviously is trying to make both of you happy

and is counting on your understanding to get through this period. It sure does sound as if she definitely calls the shots and holds her dad hostage by him fearing she will shut him out of her life yet again. This time is different.

She relies on Daddy for a paycheque so it is doubtful that she can play that card. Your choices are to continue to accommodate him and her wishes or if you are faced with a similar situation walk right in and introduce yourself.

Keep me posted.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Beer-swilling fan well-heeled

By RJ Currie TSN aired Johnny Manziel’s preseason opener on Friday, with the expected struggles, bad reads, missed calls and confusion over CFL rules. And that’s just Rod Black.

• LeBron James arrived for Game 1 against the Warriors in a suit with lower-leg-exposing shorts. Still, it’s JR Smith who’ll be remembered for cutting the Cavs off at the knees.

• Mike Tyson was intimidating in boxing trunks and Mark Messier was daunting in a hockey jersey. But Serena Williams in that black catsuit could scare the living crap out of anybody!

• Did you see that Ottawa Redblacks fan drinking a brewski from his shoe? There’s a guy who loves his beer from head to foot.

• Kim Kardashian met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office last Wednesday, reportedly entering the West Wing at 4:45 p.m. Two minutes later, her butt had entered.

• Warriors irritant Draymond Green sure loves to talk, doesn’t he? As a child he must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.

• Tennis great Ilie Nastase, 71, was arrested by Romanian traffic cops — twice in the space of six hours. In the history of court appearances, that’s the mother of all double faults.

• Sixers rookie Ben Simmons said he’ll learn from his “frustrating” inability to find the basket against the Celtics.

I hear he started dating Kendall Jenner — so much for a scoring slump.

• Brett Favre has admitted to being in rehab three times during his NFL career. And each time he came to his senses, he’d retire.

• Newly crowned world snooker champ Mark Williams kept a promise by conducting his title-winning news conference naked. It was a called shot: two balls and no side pockets.

• What do you get if you add one plus zero? One — or two if you’re JR Smith.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week Mehgan Markle and Prince Harry went to Africa for their third date. NowJames they are married — safari, so good.

These are my favourite sports people

ast week a number of people were tweeting their alltime favourite male players in a number of sports.

Here are mine (These picks give away my age.): Baseball: Willie Mays Hockey: Gordie Howe NFL: Joe Montana CFL: Rhett Dawson Wrestling: Dave Ruhl NBA: David Robinson Tennis: Ilie Năstase Soccer: Paolo Rossi Golf: Gary Player Auto racing: Gilles Villeneuve Horse racing: Northern Dancer Boxing: George Chuvalo ***** • Sorry Michael Jordan fans, but Lebron James is, hands down, the greatest basketball player ever. “He has also emerged as a far superior human being, one who will take a stand for what’s right, without worrying about his Nike sales,” wrote Jack Todd.

• Rick Reilly, on James: “He is like nothing I have ever seen. No man has done this much work with no help since Noah.”

• By the way, Serena Williams is the greatest tennis player ever.

• From Janice Hough: “The Golden State Warriors do have a charmed life. In 2015 Kyrie Irving was injured in Game 1; in 2017, Kawhi Leonard was injured in Game 1; and in 2018 JR Smith wasn’t injured in Game 1.”

•@killythekid, on a White House meeting last week: “OJ’s lawyer’s daughter, made famous by a sex tape, met with a five-time bankrupted reality TV star who’s president and discussed prison reform.”

• From Rolfsen: “The Rockets missed 27 long-range bombs in a row. That’s why they’re North Korea’s team.”

• Hough, on Samantha Bee apologizing for her word choice: “Silly woman; she should have realized the ‘c’ word is reserved for Trump supporters to use about Hillary Clinton.”

• Which show is funnier? Roseanne or Fox News?

• A study found people who swear more often are more honest than those who don’t. Well I’ll be damned.

• From @jennyarndt: “Eighty per cent of the earth is covered in water. The rest is covered by Braden Holtby.”

• From Rolfsen: “After the final, Gary Bettman is looking forward to a well-earned vacation in Quebec City.”

• Former NHL referee Paul Stewart says Holtby is playing with an illegal stick. Stewart says the knob on his stick has to be white. “If pressed, his stick could be removed until changed to white tape.”

• From Hough: “There was a small fire this week at New York’s Citi Field. Might be the hottest the Mets bats get all season.”

• If you are, for example, a Montreal Canadiens fan and you were offered your team for the Vegas team, would you take it?

• Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun, on the difference between Riders and Eskimos fans at this time of year: “The combine pilots and stubble jumpers are at a level of involvement like no other fan base in the nation. They know their depth chart. They have identified trainingcamp battles. Eskimos fans generally tend to wait and find out who made the team before they invest themselves.”

• Larry Brooks of the New York Post has been voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. I’m thinking his epic interviews with Torts must have sealed the deal.

• Hough, on South African Fredie Blom, 114, saying he wants to give up smoking: “One word. Why?” • Rolfsen, on ABC cancelling Roseanne: “It will be replaced by The Yuli Gurriel Variety Show.”

• Aaron Judge not only hits moon shots, but he recently threw a ball from right field to home plate at 100.5 mph.

The second hardest throw this year was 99.9 mph, also thrown by Judge. Wow. • From Hough: “How good has Justin Verlander been this year? He allowed one run in seven innings against the Yankees and his ERA went up to 1.11.”

• How about those Blue Jays?
