Saskatoonʼs REAL Community Newspaper Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express ames Hataley and Connor Brousseau go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong. In the parlance of musicals, that’s a lot like supercalifragilistic. Best friends since attending Evan Hardy Collegiate, the two young actors will finally share a stage as leads in Saskatoon Summer Players’ (SSP) production of Grease. They are thrilled about that, and are so close they bounce off one another in an energetic interview. “It’s really exciting. This is my first lead out of high school, and I forgot how fun it is to be a lead. I feel like a rock star,” said Hataley, who plays Danny Zuko. “You look like a rock star,” interjected Brousseau, who came out to audition for Grease because Hataley wanted to. He landed the role of Kenickie. “I’ve done one Summer Players show before with James, which was Joseph (and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). I took time off to pursue professional stuff.” “I’ve been begging him to come back ever since,” put in Hataley. “He told me it was Grease (this year), and he said if you come out we’ll both try out for Danny and Kenickie,” continued Brousseau. “And we did. We got it . . . it was just like, perfect.” “And I was really bugging our Sandy that we have more of a romance than Sandy and I,” said Hataley, laughing. “She (Amanda Kush) is new to Saskatoon. She’s a singer . . . she’s just wonderful. She really stands out. She is killing it.” You get the picture. That energy is also happening in rehearsals, with a young and very large cast. “It’s always buzzing,” says one. “They’re always telling us to shut up,” says the other. After Hataley started his Summer Players career with Joseph, he added HMS Pinafore and Shrek to his resume. He did have a role in Grease once before, at Evan Hardy, and also played Daddy Warbucks in Annie, actually shaving his head instead of wearing a bald cap. “Lucky for me, we were doing a fundraiser for cancer that same month,” he said. “That worked out great. That was my first taste of a lead role, and I liked it.” Hataley then started dating Heather Currie — the choreographer for Grease — about four years ago; she did Producers for Summer Players. She had so much fun, she persuaded Hataley to come out too. “I absolutely love it,” said Hataley. He is, however, in law school at the University of Saskatchewan, and sees community theatre as an avocation. Brousseau, not so much. He is in his fourth year in drama at the U of S, and recently landed a music apprenticeship through a new program at Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, funded by the David (Dube) and Heather (Ryan) Foundation. His desire to act came early in life. “I knew I wanted to act in Grade 6, when I saw my sister dance in a production of Guys and Dolls, also at Evan Hardy. My parents dragged me kicking and screaming to that show. I didn’t want to sit in a theatre for two hours. “I completely fell in love with it and made my parents take me to the rest of the performances. I went every night.” When Brousseau reached Grade 9, he auditioned for the musical Leader of the Pack, and that’s when he met Hataley. They’ve been close friends ever since; and Brousseau has been acting ever since, too, “because honestly, I’d be miserable if I did anything else.” He is torn about choosing acting or music, however; so he’s doing both. He is writing the music for S on S’s production of J. Caesar, and also a couple of songs for Midsummer Night’s Dream. “That’s great. I’m loving it. I get to write an orchestral movie score all day. I really like acting, and I like writing my own music.” (Continued on page 11)

“Because I was never anonymous, people always knew they could come to me to ask for help. So I would have people phoning me saying, ‘My dad, my daughter, my neighbour, my co-worker . . . somebody is in trouble with drugs or alcohol. What do I do?’” And what can we do? “We need more detox beds, we need more treatment beds and we need some that are longer than 28 days. We know now, especially with narcotic addiction, that 28 days is not enough. So when we send kids out of province to private treatment centres, they are often 16 to 18 weeks, rather than four weeks. “We desperately need sober living accommodations for people when they first get out of treatment.

where I was a student. The support system at the university was excellent at the time. I had come from a teaching background and I believed the job was a good fit for my talent. Of course, finding some security was a good thing,” said Steer. His job certainly gave him security — almost 50 years of it. He retired this spring as a professor, which included a stint as head of chemistry, and he was a key figure in the establishment of the Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre. He will stay on campus as a professor emeritus to continue research and do some teaching. Steer was born in Regina. His parents, Paul and Jean, were both graduates from the University of Saskatchewan and set the stage for a curiosity-driven man. “My mother attended the university, earned her degrees in arts and education, and worked some summers as a Chautauqua girl. She was a remarkable woman who took the family car, went out to find venues for the tent show and did the advance publicity,” said Steer. “My father went from Normal School into teaching. My parents met in Lloydminster. My father’s first job was a ways out of town and he rode a horse back and forth every day of the school year, all the while reciting and memorizing poetry. Then my mother insisted he go to the U of S and get the same degrees she had. ”My mother was on top of things all the time, my father was gregarious and very social, and they always talked fondly of the U of S.” When Steer graduated from high school, there were scholarship offers from Queen’s and McGill but he chose Saskatchewan. He grew up in the days of Sputnik, and the advent of satellites intrigued him. He enjoyed the work in the well-organized chemistry labs and in his fourth year, lessons in quantum mechanics heightened his interest. He gained his arts degree in 1963 and his PhD in 1968.

He set up the first ultrafast laser system on campus in 1979 and was part of the establishment of the first Canadian Centre of Excellence in Molecular and Interfacial Dynamics. Later, and after earning his Doctor of Science degree, he was the first director of the Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre (SSSC). The centre was an integrated multidisciplinary analytical facility which, among other bonuses, gave the students access to 20 major state-of-the-art instruments. It began in 2000. Principal funding came from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, an agency formed in 1997 to improve Canadian opportunities in science studies. Steer was the author of the first application. “There were 10 principal co-applicants who formed an exceptional group of leaders. The irony is that we were applying for grant money at the same time as the Canadian Light Source, whose successful application received most of the publicity. We were both accepted at the same time. “At the time, in 2000, we were unique among the applicants from Western Canada from a financial viewpoint. With many sources of help, our initial grant evolved into an $11-million upgrade. The development of the centre has enabled us to be on the same playing field in science as other major universities.” He gave up the director’s role in 2002 to become head of the university’s chemistry department. A good part of his more recent research has been devoted to finding more effective ways of making solar power the ultimate source of green power.

Steer said the available annual global supply of solar energy is about 10,000 times the world’s current combined electrical generation capacity. “We want to improve the efficiency of solar cell systems and lower the energy cost. It is fine for an international space station to have highly-efficient, expensive solar panels, but they can afford it. Even for us in Saskatchewan, where in the south we have more days of useable sunshine annually than anywhere else in Canada, solar is still not cost-competitive. That remains our goal.” He has been honoured with awards including a fellowship in the Chemical Institute of Canada, the John C. Polanyi award from the Canadian Society of Chemistry, a U of S Master Teacher award and a U of S Distinguished Professor award. Important in Steer’s life, too, has been a love of music. Steer remembers that as an elementary school student, he was recruited to play bassoon in the Regina City Police Boys’ Band because his hands were large. Later, in high school, he joined the Regina Symphony Orchestra. After coming to Saskatoon, he sang with the Greystone Singers, including the year Bob Solem was first introduced as director, and later was part of a committee which invited Solem to be the director of the Saskatoon Chamber Singers. Both he and his wife, Sheilagh, sing. They met in Greystone Singers and their association with the Chamber Singers has lasted since 1977. From the 1980s onward, the Steers were active with the summer theatre both on the stage and behind the scenes. Married since 1964, the Steers have two children. David teaches music in the Saskatoon public school system. Jennifer teaches English and drama at a private girls’ school in Bristol, England. They have five grandchildren.

in Colorado; the nine people at a community college in Oregon. Now, it’s the people who were dancing at the Pulse nightclub, in the city that is home to Disney World, that magical wonderland where we take children for the best vacations of their lives. The LGBTQ2 community is an extremely vulnerable one. While they have made huge strides over the last 20 years — acceptance, understanding, even marriage and other legislated advances — they have historically been frightened, bullied, attacked, killed and prevented from living normal lives. They were not/are not able to share marriages, pensions, children; to take jobs, or rent homes; to walk down the street holding hands; to confidently use public washrooms, for heaven’s sake. Around the world, LGBTQ2 people are still at enormous risk of violence; indeed, in many countries, at the highest risk. It was unhelpful for our mayor’s office to suggest (and apologize for saying) that being gay is a “lifestyle choice.” This kind of language is precisely part of the problem. People who are gay are gay; it’s not a choice. Is having brown skin a lifestyle choice? Religion is far more a choice — and in some ways, a lifestyle choice — than being gay or brown or white. How can we — how dare we — hate people who are different from us, simply because of who they are? They say you can’t legislate against hate, or opinion; but you can, indeed, make a difference by changing laws to protect the rights of everyone, including the LGBTQ2 community; and some other laws, like the right to buy assault rifles. Sadly, changing the gun laws in the United States seems impossible, both because of America’s bizarre fear-filled and freedom-defended devotion to guns, and because of how policy is formed. U.S. President Barack Obama, after Sandy Hook, tried to pass stronger gun
control laws, but they were stopped in their tracks by the Republican-led Congress, stacked with National Rifle Association (NRA)-backed politicians. Now, after the 2014 mid-term elections, Republicans have also taken control of the Senate, with a lot of financial backing from the NRA. Another policy change the U.S. government must try to make is to stop the extreme power of lobbyists, and most particularly the NRA. It’s equally hopeless, at present: with the Republicans in charge of two houses, a bill to hold back lobbyists won’t pass any more than the gun control bill did. As of this writing, the NRA still had not responded to the shooting in Orlando. Normally, it shows up a few days after a crime and says something like, “see? That’s why we all need to carry guns.” They really are the most evil and stupid people in North America. They can’t even make a logical argument. Before Saskatoon’s Pride Week, I asked festival co-chair Danny Papadatos the usual and obvious journalistic question: why is Pride “still” important? He had a number of good answers — that the fight for equality is not over; that the battle for simple things, like public bathroom access, is still ongoing. How mind-twistingly horrible that the violence in Orlando came on the heels of that question, and during Pride celebrations. It was about hate, and terrorism, and gun-fuelled power. How clear it still is, that the fight goes on for the rainbow community. Yet it is also true that you could be anyone in the United States — a schoolchild, a movie-watcher — and some crazed gunman could somehow hate you enough to shoot you in cold blood. Worse yet, a large part of the country gives less of a damn about your life than the right to bear arms. God Help America.

Charly Hustle DJs the festival: Are you listening, Big Boi? Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express harly Hustle. Charly Hustle. Where have you heard that name before? In Saskatoon, it’s the moniker of DJ Sean Grant, somewhat famous for winning the Red Bull Thre3Style Canadian DJ Championships — and prepping to get a little more famous at the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival. But oh yes: there’s also a famous sports guy by that name. “It’s the nickname of Pete Rose,” although spelled differently, Grant reminds one in an interview. “It sounded kind of cool, but I liked the idea that the way he played, he wasn’t always the fastest or strongest but tried really hard all the time. He became one of the best through will and sheer effort.
C
KK062016 Karen
“He also got banned from baseball for betting on baseball, but whatever.” That being said, Grant guarantees he’s not going down the Rose road. “I am in the Thre3style competition again and you can print this — I am not going to bet on the outcome.” Grant has been DJing since 2002 and has played plenty of gigs at the Jazz Festival over the years. This year, he has three gigs: first, he opens for Lee Fields at the Capitol venue on the first Friday, June 24, late in the night. “First of all, I’m super excited about that one. He’s one of my favourites,” said Grant. As to his musical mix that night, “it’s going to be a lot of soul music with similar artists. That would be my most genre-specific show. I’m going to focus more on soul and funk.”
Charly Hustle will have three gigs during the Saskatchewan SaskTel Jazz Festival. (Photo by Jason Halayko) The following night, he returns to the Capitol in a show called Flat Black Plastic with fellow DJ The Gaff and the Hip Hop Hippies. “We’re going to use all old records and it will be multi-genre, rock and funk and hip hop and disco. That will have its own
feel by virtue (of using records.)” Last but far from least, he appears July 2 at the Free House, across the street from the Bessborough Gardens, with a show focused on hip hop. It’s the same night Big Boi plays the main stage. (Continued on page 9)

(Continued from page 8) ’m assuming Big Boi is going to come and rap with me,” said Grant. “Maybe he’ll hear the sounds coming from across the street when he’s done and say, I want to go hang out with that guy. I’ll have some of his songs prepared just in case he comes and raps with me.” Grant is half-joking. He notes that every once in a while, the big acts will pop by one of the late-night venues. Ben Harper, he points out, came by and jammed with the band at the Free House once. “I’m putting it at a 50-50 shot.” Grant is a big fan of Outcast, the group Big Boi was in, so he’s launching the shout out now. Maybe he’ll show. “They’re among the most influential hip hop groups of all time . . . so when I heard that Big Boi was coming for Jazz Fest, that is going to be my favourite show in years. I know it’s going to be awesome. “I made sure I got tickets, but now I’m actually going to be an official social media person for JazzFest, so I’m

going to have media credentials to get into the shows. But I’m still going to keep the tickets.” As memorabilia, you know. Grant’s DJ style is eclectic and connective. He’s into all genres — punk, soul, disco, rock, reggae, you name it — and then he adds his special spice. “I like to pretend, or think, that I am able to bring a fun party in almost any situation, whether it’s a couple of thousand people in a major venue or 20 people in a lounge. I always like to have people smiling and dancing, preferably at the same time. “I like to play a lot of different genres of music. I’m kind of like the Ramones and say, ‘hey, if you don’t like this song, wait 30 seconds and there will be a new one.’ “One of the things I would be known for in that world would be that I use a lot of creative transitions. Whatever song is playing, I’ll make a connection with the next song through words. It’s like a thinking person’s set. You can make connections intellectually as well as hopefully dancing.”

Master of the roots and blues: Corey Harris comes to Jazz Fest
Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express orey Harris, one of today’s great American bluesroots musicians, has one of those resumes filled with legendary associations. He has played with B.B. King, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy and many others; has recorded 15 albums, with two more in the works; and tours extensively, solo and with his band. He comes to Saskatoon during the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival for the first time, for two performances, playing The Bassment on Saturday, June 25, and opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band in the Bessborough Gardens on Sunday, June 26. Tickets at saskjazz.com (but going fast.) Born in Denver, Colo., Harris began his career playing on the streets of New Orleans. He plays original music roots as well as traditional blues music, and his eclectic compositions have garnered considerable attention. He was the focus of the 2003 Martin Scorsese documentary “Feel Like Going Home” and in 2007 was awarded a $500,000 MacArthur Fellowship from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The grant described Harris as someone who “forges an adventurous path marked by deliberate eclecticism.” He also holds an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. We caught up to Harris ahead of the festival for a Q&A. This interview has been condensed and edited. What is the state of the blues today? It depends on what you mean by the blues. It can mean many different things. It can mean the blues industry or the music itself or the musicians. The music itself isn’t going anywhere. The people from the areas that gave us the blues, like Mississippi and Alabama and places like that, are still playing the blues. I wouldn’t say there’s a resurgence; it’s been a long time since the blues has been a commercial music. (But) there’s still a blues audience. I’m thankful for that. I don’t think a lot of people are fully informed about what it is, or the variety inside the music; but there’s still quite an audience. There are so many different styles of blues . . . there’s electric blues, there’s acoustic blues and within those there are a lot of different variations. Do you consider yourself an acoustic blues artist, dominantly? DC062049 Darlene No. I just play music. I can’t say I have a preference; I
C
just like to play. Just call me a roots musician. I play a little bit of everything . . . but it’s roots, you know. How did the MacArthur fellowship affect your life and work? It gave me more time to devote to certain projects. I wrote a book and I was able to produce my own records at the time. It just helped me to better do what I do. Was it life changing? I guess it was at the time. But it’s not the money that changes one life, I think, but it’s the designation and the acknowledgement. I was very thankful. You’re a film star, too. I wouldn’t say that (laughing). But you did make a movie, for one of the greatest directors in the U.S. I would be stretch to say I made the movie with him. The man who directed it brought it to Scorsese to sign off on it. All that being said, I met Scorsese and he was a very nice and very humble person. I enjoyed talking to him. I’d never done a documentary, so yeah, it was a lot of sitting around, but I enjoyed the experience. You really get to see, even with the documentary, how scenes are posed or redone. It’s not like real life . . . the way it’s put together, it’s supposed to feel like it’s off the cuff and in the moment. I really got an appreciation for the art of making a documentary. In your early days, you played with some huge blues stars, including B.B. King and Taj Mahal. Can you reflect on those relationships? With B.B., he was a legend, he really was a legend... He was from another era where it meant different things to be a blues artist and a blues musician and a blues singer. He was a very dignified person, highly intelligent and very gracious. Being around him was like being around someone like the president or king of a country — the way he carried himself was very admirable. He always put people at ease. When he started out touring, black people couldn’t get gas in a lot of gas stations, or use the bathroom, or eat in restaurants or stay in hotels. That was really difficult for him. He had to sleep in the bus, and they were riding the Greyhound bus; they didn’t have their own bus . . . or go camping, or find somebody they may know in town; but it was dangerous. If you went out camping, you could be

I started touring with B.B. in 1997, and toured with him on and off, 75 or 80 shows, up until about 2002 or 2003. Taj Mahal. I really look up to Taj; he represented the next generation after B.B. He showed us you could take a lot of different music and put it with the blues. You don’t have to stay in a box; you can really express yourself. Today, you choose to play both solo and with a band. I think any musician has a range of styles. My band, they are all very talented and skilled musicians, and I enjoy that. I’m able to come up with different colours and sounds. But I like playing solo as well. The main thing we have to remember is the blues players who founded the tradition, they were playing the music of the here and now. They weren’t playing their grandfathers’ music. We have to write music that is relevant to our times. That’s basically what I try and do, is express myself in the music.

Best friends on stage
A
(Continued from page 1) great many people are very familiar with Grease, which tells the story of Danny – a cool guy at Rydell High – falling in love with the innocent and sweet Sandy. Danny and his friends mix and match relationships with Sandy and her high school friends, as the two primary lovers try to sort out their differences. The popular movie starred John Travolta as Danny, Olivia Newton-John as Sandy, Stockard Channing as Rizzo (played by Meghan Lofgren in the SSP production) and Jeff Conaway as Kenickie. Big shoes to fill? “The biggest challenge with the show is that when people think of Danny, they think of Travolta,” said Hataley. “I want this to be my Danny . . . a more relatable Danny.” Brousseau, meanwhile, is having fun with the Kenickie character. “He can be such a jerk. When he has to be more serious, it’s very out of character for him. I love his sense of humour and how he just wants to look cool.”
“They’re just scared kids who want to seem cool,” added Hataley. “You get to see both sides — who they are in public, and in private.” The usual stage show does not include all the songs from the movie, but Summer Players has purchased the rights to Hopelessly Devoted to You, sung by Sandy, and You’re the One That I Want, which is the end-of-musical showstopper. Grease’s 36-member cast and 12-member orchestra are entirely local and volunteer, and everyone is having fun and rocking it, said the two actors. “We’re just super pumped to be best friends on stage,” said Brousseau. “We’ve been waiting a long time for that,” concluded Hataley. Grease plays at Persephone Theatre in the Remai Arts Centre June 24 to July 2. Shows are at 8 p.m. nightly, with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. No show Friday, July 1. Tickets $36 to $42, available through the box office: 306-384-7727 or www.saskatoonsummerplayers.ca.

Mayor Atchison: It is certainly something the city has been studying. We are stockpiling it as best we can for future use. It’s quite expensive to clean so it may end up being used for fill. The goal is to recycle the gravel, just like we recycle concrete and asphalt now. We try to recycle as much as we can. Question: Have you had your Twitter account hacked? Is there a fake account out there? There seem to be some accounts out there that purportedly are yours. Mayor Atchison: It is an unfortunate situation that people hack into an account or start a fake account. I had my account hacked once. We fixed that. There is at least one fake account out there. It makes a person wary about having a Twitter account or a Facebook page. But a lot of people like to connect on social media, so I guess it’s the price you pay. If a fake account is out of bounds legally, then there should be serious consequences. I am told it is hard to get those fake accounts shut down. Our real Twitter handle is @DonAtchisonSaskatoon. Any others are fakes. Did You Know? Property taxes make up approximately 45 per cent of city revenue funding. The other sources are government transfers, grants-in-lieu, general revenues and user fees. (Have a question for Mayor Atchison? Send it to editorial@saskatoonexpress. com.

‘No one wants to be a heroin addict’
(Continued from page 3) o get the rapid progression from detox to treatment to a sober house, many families are sending their children to private facilities in British Columbia. It’s not cheap. Remember, 13 families spent at least $30,000 — and some more than $100,000 — on treatment. Gore-Hickman said she worked with the young man who is in jail. He committed crimes to feed his addiction while on the waiting list to get into a methadone program. “I never did get him into treatment anywhere. I have seven kids out in B.C. right now that have gone through treatment and are still living out there. They are all in recovery right now – three of them have had relapses. “Studies show recovery doesn’t always mean complete abstinence for the rest of your life. You can still be in good recovery with a relapse. That isn’t the ultimate goal, but at least they are alive. Some people take more than one trip through treatment. It is not a failure if somebody relapses after eight months clean. It is brush yourself off; you have the tools, now just keep working on it.” She said one young man who relapsed is now back home and is on methadone. “He just couldn’t keep clean,” she said. “Methadone is a very safe alternative to using. It takes you out of the criminal element. Every one of them who uses narcotics has to do some kind of criminal activity — they either have to steal, they have to sell or they have to prostitute themselves. You escalate so quickly that you are looking at $400 or $500 a day. “That’s the reason they go to heroin. They start off on prescription drugs — somebody has a bottle of pills from gramma and they share them and it feels so good. It feels like you have a warm blanket around you. These kids are in those teenage struggling years where the girlfriend just dumped them and it’s the end of the world and they take this narcotic. It’s so warm and fuzzy and they get addicted very quickly.” She said they turn to heroin because it is cheaper than hydromorphone and OxyContin.
DC062006 Darlene
“It is not because anyone wants to become a heroin addict.” Then fentanyl hit the streets with devastating consequences for so many families. “It was a drug I used in anesthesia every day in my career – for 30 years I used fentanyl. It’s a wonderful drug for an anesthetic.” That isn’t how it works on the streets. “What happens is they take fentanyl and mark it as oxy and – they call them fake oxys – so kids think it is an 80 of oxy, but fentanyl is much more potent than oxy, so they overdose on it.” And they sometimes die, like the sons of two of the mothers at Gore-Hickman’s home that evening. Laurel Reisinger, one of the moms at the meeting, and her husband Al have donated a home which is now the city’s first sober house. Fentanyl claimed one of their sons and another is in recovery. Gore-Hickman said it’s time for action. She needs the voices — the many voices — of those in recovery. “The whole recovery advocacy movement is trying to move away from talking about the devastating effects of addiction into showing people the wonderful recovery that is possible. We all see the devastating effects of addiction every day: we read about the latest fentanyl overdose, the latest drunk driving accident, the stabbings, the shootings, the robberies – we know those are all drug related. “What we have to do is say, ‘I am the face of addiction.’ There are two million Canadians in long-term stable recovery. They did have a problem with alcohol and drugs but they don’t now. “I asked for help, got it and now my life is wonderful. We hear stories of drug and alcohol devastation all the time; we don’t need to hear about those anymore. We need to hear that people get better.” A recovery from addiction day is planned for September. For more information, go to Addiction Recovery Saskatoon on Facebook. (Note: Wendy Gore-Hickman is Cam Hutchinson’s sister-in-law.)

in Martensville to raise money for his family’s living expenses. No, not so he can buy himself that latest, really expensive Star Wars Lego set, but to get the lights back on in his house. A week prior to setting up his stand, his dad had lost his job, and the power was turned off at his place thanks to an unpaid power bill of almost $2,000. Jayden’s story went public after a Warman resident ran into him into the grocery store, where he engaged her in polite checkout chat, before inviting her to stop by his stand. She put a note up on her Facebook page, telling Jayden’s story and inviting others to support his roadside business. It immediately exploded, shared online thousands of times. Jayden’s charm, industriousness, selflessness and entrepreneurialism are heartwarming indeed, but even more so — for me, anyway — is the reaction from Saskatchewan residents that followed. Hundreds of people flocked to his stand, even driving from other cities to buy his watermelon juice (funny how no matter what the drink, we call it a lemonade

stand). One man offered to pay $20 per cup, and then ordered 14 cups. People — almost all people, anyway — are inherently good. I’m not going to say that the kind of generosity and thoughtfulness directed towards Jayden and his family is a Saskatchewan thing, because that’s so self-indulgent, and because people come together to help each other everywhere you look, if you look hard enough. I know this is been done to death, but at times when it feels like the bad is outweighing the good, does it really hurt to revisit this infamous advice from Mr. Rogers one more time? “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping,’” recalled everybody’s favourite neighbour under the parenting advice section on his website. “To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”

Take signs of a stroke seriously
A
s a health care professional, Eve Joseph understands how people in crisis can experience denial. So why did she not call 911 when she experienced signs of stroke? Eve tells her story. What were you doing when you had your stroke? Did you recognize what was happening? I had finished a 10-hour shift at the hospital where I work as a counsellor and had picked up my son from the airport. I felt totally fine. We were in the kitchen talking and laughing and I was making him a grilled cheese sandwich. I had a sudden and very brief spell of dizziness. Almost immediately, I felt tingling down the right side of my body. I did not realize I was having a stroke but I knew something wasn’t right. Denial almost felt instinctual to me. A kind of survival mechanism: if I didn’t acknowledge something was possibly wrong then maybe everything was OK. Crazy when you look back on it but very, very real in the moment. You called the nurse’s helpline and were told to hang up and call 911, yet you asked your husband to drive you to the hospital instead. Why? All the clichés come to mind as to why I did not call 911: I didn’t want to embarrass myself by overreacting; I still felt like “myself” and thought I could handle whatever was happening; an added thing for me was that I work at the hospital and I didn’t want to arrive at the ER in an ambulance. I think, on some level, this kind of denial is
connected to dignity and embarrassment. We just can’t believe that something so critical could be happening to us and we don’t want to look foolish. How has your life changed since your stroke? Two main things: I feel enormously grateful for each day and grateful that the stroke was one I could recover from; I also feel a deep vulnerability. Whatever sense I may have had of being spared or passed over is gone. I feel closer to death — having had it brush so closely by — but, paradoxically, I also feel closer to life because of that. I wish I could say it’s made me a better person, a better human, but I still carry on often oblivious, rushed, too engaged in the things that catch us up in this life. And yet, I think I am a little more awake, a little more aware of fragility and I think I take myself a little less seriously. As someone who has survived a stroke, what do you want other people to know about stroke? I’d have to say, don’t doubt yourself. If you think something is happening, if you think you might be having a stroke or a heart attack, call 911. And I’d also say, don’t push yourself too hard. Be gentle with yourself. Eve Joseph is a poet and author of In the Slender Margin: The Intimate Strangeness of Death and Dying. For information on the signs of stroke, visit heartandstroke.ca.

Bathroom should be your domain
By Lianne Tregobov Dear Lianne, I realize this may sound petty, but I’m reluctant to discuss this with anyone out of respect for my relationship. I’m what they call an old-fashioned girl. I have refrained from intimacy until I recently married my loving husband. He was my only boyfriend. Things are wonderful and I enjoy being married. The situation that has me uncomfortable is that he walks into the bathroom while I am using it. This is so awkward and I do not want him witnessing me in that situation. How do I deal with DC030701 Darlene this without causing friction and DC062001 insulting him?Darlene — Mrs. W
Dear Mrs. W, It is totally reasonable to want privacy while you are using the bathroom. There are a few simple solutions to this. The first is to lock the door and the second is to let your husband know that you feel most comfortable using the bathroom in privacy. He should easily respect your wishes. Enjoy your new married life! (Lianne will be in Saskatoon during the first week of July. Call 306-978-LOVE (5683) to make an appointment. Send questions for this column to camelotintroductions@mymts.net.)

LEARN THE SIGNS OF STROKE
is it drooping?
can you raise both?
is it slurred or jumbled? Darian Durant and quarterback coach Jarious Jackson chat after practice. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)
Durant feeling good, and ready to lead team Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express arian Durant knows the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ season rests on his broad shoulders. Riders’ coach/general manager Chris Jones can bring in all the plus-sized players he wants, but without a healthy Durant another sad season looms. Brett Smith and BJ Coleman, the backups to date, have shown little to inspire the confidence that they can run a Canadian Football League offence — let alone win. It’s a problem virtually every team in the league faces. No quarterback and, as the late, great Stampede wrestler Tor Kamata often said, “Nooo chancee!” (Note: You have to be older than 55 to get that reference.) It’s too bad teams with the last quarterback standing win championships at all levels of the game. That’s just the way it is. Durant humbly said he knows he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and he is ready to prove it again.. “I feel like as I go, the team goes,” he said last week at Riders’ training camp. “I want to be there to make sure that I put the team in the best possible situations on and off the field. “And of course I feel I give us the best chance to win. I just concentrate on my job and my reads and what I am supposed to do and I think I can put the team in a good position.” He’s right. With deadlines being what they are, here’s hoping Durant made it through the pre-season game in Edmonton unscathed. His 2014 and 2015 seasons were both cut short by injuries. He barely got out of gate last year, suffering an Achilles tendon injury in the opening half of the opening
D
game. He said he feels good. He repeated it a couple of times for emphasis. He wasn’t trying to convince himself. “I have had no setbacks. I have participated in every single activity, every drill. I haven’t missed one day, not one rep. I am doing little maintenance things every day to put myself in the best possible shape. “It’s now about getting out there and getting as many reps as I can and developing a chemistry with the new receivers and making sure we are clicking on all cylinders come game day.” He likes the offence Jones and his Grey Cup-winning Edmonton coaching staff packed up and brought to Saskatchewan. “There are a lot of options. I have been in different offences over the years and have been able to adapt to different systems. This one is no different. It is more of a ball-control system, taking what the defence gives you. “It’s not putting much stress on me to use my legs to be able to make plays, so I look forward to sitting in the pocket, being able to pick teams apart and being able to hit the open guy and taking what the defence gives us.” Durant has been tutoring Smith and Coleman during training camp and was on the sidelines with them during the pre-season game against B.C. He’s impressed with Smith’s mobility and with Coleman’s arm. Is coaching in his future? “Not yet, not yet,” he said with a laugh. “I don’t know if I will coach, but I definitely want to be involved in football. But we’ll talk about it in eight to 10 years.”

A nude dining experience
anice Hough, on a new restaurant featuring naked dining opening in London: “Yep, no clothing allowed. The restaurant will not allow cameras and cellphones. Presumably also forbidden — hot coffee and soup.” • Torben Rolfsen, on O.J. Simpson stealing his first wife from Al Cowlings and then making Cowlings hang out with them at dinners as a third wheel: “I guess somebody had to be the designated driver.” • Bill Littlejohn, on a runner in the Hotlanta Half Marathon setting a world record for running the half marathon in dress shoes: “It’s officially certified and not just another Paul Bunion Story.” • The creator of the beehive hairstyle, Margaret Vinci Heldt, has died at the age of 98. She leaves behind family, friends and a generation with horrible wedding photos. • TC Chong, on a Picasso painting valued at $28 million currently being on loan to The Vancouver Art Gallery: “The owner says the work is not for sale, but would consider a couple of fixer upper properties on the city’s West Side as fair exchange.” • A Nezem Kadri tweet after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup: “One day.” • Rolfsen, on astronomers combining the Fermi Paradox and the Mediocrity Principle to show we shouldn’t expect contact with aliens for another 1,500 years: “Detroit Lions fans have used the same formula for a Super Bowl.”
B
• From Littlejohn: “Ichiro dethrones Pete Rose as the hit king. Is that in baseball or black jack?” • From Hough: “Belated happy 90th official birthday to Queen Elizabeth II. When the British national anthem is sung, does she sing ‘God Save Me?’” • The call Buck Martinez made twice in the same game when a Jays player hit a ball with home-run distance down the line: “STAY FAIR BALL!” It continues to disgust me that he can cheerlead like that on a national broadcast. • Chong, on the New York Daily News reporting that boxing promoter Don King has denied ever endorsing Donald Trump: “In related news, the guy that styles their hair is not answering his phone and has deleted his Facebook account.” • Words Blue Jays fans don’t want to hear: “Now entering the game, Aaron Loup.” • Rolfsen, on the terrible fan violence between England and Russia at Euro 2016: “And they’re not even in the ‘Group of Death.’” • Hough, on Madison Bumgarner wanting to be in the Home Run Derby: “Now Jake Arrieta and Adam Wainwright say they want in too. Admit it, we’re all really waiting now for Bartolo Colon.” • The United States produces 20 per cent of the world’s trash. Which makes me wonder whatever happened to Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly?
Packer out of the closet
By RJ Currie rook Henderson is the first Canadian woman to win a major championship in 48 years. A dry spell that’s hard to believe — unless you’re a Maple Leafs fan. • Roughly 30,000 Icelanders — or 10 per cent of the population —are in France for Euro 2016 to cheer their team. Who do the think they are? Saskatchewan Roughriders fans? • Golden State’s Steph Curry was ejected from the game for tossing his mouth guard into the crowd. Jaromir Jagr did the same thing once — except his teeth were in it. • UFC Champion Miesha Tate once posed in ESPN’s The Body Issue 2013. Not surprising: she is a knockout. • There’s no question Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura has talent. He also appears to need his anger-management thong adjusted. • A Georgia man was arrested for trying to enter a waffle house naked. Police say they caught him by the pecans. • I’m sad Maria Sharapova was suspended for two years. I’m glad I wasn’t in
the room when she got the news. • Packers punter Tim Mashtay said that during college he lived in a utility closet. He’s not to be confused with Johnny Manziel, who’s been closeted in futility. • Ronaldo criticized Iceland after their draw with Portugal, saying all they do is defend, defend, defend. Wasn’t Ronaldo held scoreless? At least he took offence to something. • An ESPN analyst called Andrew Bogut a non-factor for the Warriors in the playoffs. Maybe Bogut should change his name to Bogus. • Picasso’s $28 million portrait Claude et Paloma is showing at the Vancouver Art Gallery. That’s also the value of Henrik Sedin’s last contract — only lately he’s more of a bust. • Cowboys running back Darren McFadden broke his elbow trying to catch his cellphone. This is one time a dropped call would have been a good thing. RJ’s Groaner of the Week In a cemetery in Debrecen, Hungary, 18 two-man teams competed in the national grave-digging contest. The winning pair said it was quite an undertaking.
