Lindros took our first try and didn’t score. The Germans missed. Eric scored on the second one. The next German shooter bounced a puck off Burke’s arm, it rolled a bit but then stopped before it reached the goal line. We won.”

The name of the second German shooter was Draisaitl, whose son, Leon, wasn’t born until 1995 and now is a prominent player with the Edmonton Oilers. Smith met the young Draisaitl on

a recent trip to Edmonton.

“Dave King was the greatest coach I ever played for. He knew the game, he was a taskmaster and he saw everything on the ice.

When a line came off the ice, he could tell each one of the players there was something he could have done better on the shift.”

Smith has great respect for his teammates, too. Just this spring, nine of them, including Lindros, got together for a reunion in Toronto.

Lorne Figley The world’s oldest working plumber Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ricia Koob wanted to give her father something special for Christmas last year.

Socks just wouldn’t cut it, so she decided to give him what any dad would want — a Guinness World Record. The gift wasn’t under the tree, given the length of the process to become a record holder, but the groundwork was being laid for Lorne Figley to be recognized as the world’s oldest working plumber.

The 92-year-old Saskatonian now has that distinction. Figley’s trip to the world record began in 1951 when he opened Broadway Heating Ltd. with three partners. The business has been operating ever since. That’s 65 years, folks.

His career in the trades began soon after serving in the Second World War. He completed a sheet metal apprenticeship in 1947. After opening Broadway Heating, he earned Red Seal (journeyman) certification in steam fitting/pipefitting, plumbing, refrigeration and air conditioning. He was getting those journeyman tickets into the early 1970s.

Koob started gathering and filing the paperwork to have her father recognized about a year ago.

“As I went through the process it turned out to be a lot more complicated than I had anticipated. I tell you when you apply for a record, they want proof. They aren’t giving away any freebies,” she said in the living room of her father’s comfortable home.

“It was going to be a surprise and then I had to tell Dad because I needed company records, invoices, testimonials from people he had done service for. I had to turn in all his journeyman tickets for the various things he has, so it was very vigorous.

And after it was almost done, AS102407 Aaron

Lorne Figley started Broadway Heating Ltd. in 1951. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) then they wanted some more stuff.”

He officially became the record holder a couple of months ago, erasing a youngster in his 80s from the record book. Koob will submit her father’s 2016 invoices at the end of the year to keep the record in his possession.

Figley recently installed a water heater and a new thermostat. He often gives advice over the phone and payment for service calls can sometimes be as low as a cup of coffee and maybe a piece of pie.

His answer was short when asked about his long career in business.

“That is who I am, I guess.”

During a conversation, he talked about things like building codes not changing in

the U.S. presidential candidate’s remarks about health care in Canada.

“I get everything you can think of completely free and instantly,” he said.

Figley grew up on a farm in the Kyle area. He enlisted in the Canadian air force during the Second World War when he was about four months shy of his 18th birthday. He was in uniform from 1942 until 1946.

He was part of a Canadian special forces unit assigned to 664 RAF squadron. The squadron played a key role in the liberation of Holland.

“We were such special forces, there was nobody like us anywhere there,” he said.

his 65 years in business. Most of the tools are the same. That said, he has always been ahead of the curve when it came to embracing technology.

He started using computers at his business long before it was fashionable. He is a cellphone junkie, always wanting the latest version. He loves poking around on the Internet.

He recently bought a truck camper and took it to Shilo, Man., to visit a war museum. He has his pilot’s licence.

“He always has to do something that stretches the boundaries,” Koob said.

(Continued from page 3) sing Auster IV planes, the squadron flew under the radar — literally. The planes could fly 35 miles per hour and just four feet off the ground searching for enemy installations. He likened them to drones, although there was a pilot aboard.

“Planes would spot where the enemy artillery was and then they would radio back the co-ordinates to the ground artillery so they would know where to aim their big guns.”

Figley kept the radios used on the planes in tip-top shape.

“I was issued a brand new three-ton truck for my personal use and I had it for four years. I put about 18,000 miles on it.

I had all this radio equipment in there — a little shop.

“They couldn’t leave the radios in the planes overnight. When the planes came in they had to take the radio out; they didn’t want a German thief to sneak in there.”

The truck also became Figley’s living quarters for a time.

“I slept in the truck for a year and a half. I stole a nice inner spring mattress and had a hinged bed that folded up against the wall so the officers couldn’t see it,” he said with a laugh.

OPEN LETTER TO CITIZENS OF SASKATOON I love this city. I believe in you.

Together we are building a great future for our children and grandchildren.

When you vote in this election…..the real issue is JOBS. It’s about keeping the jobs we have, creating new jobs and keeping Saskatoon working!

My record of strong leadership and experience has built partnerships. Those partnerships have brought nearly a billion dollars back to Saskatoon from federal and provincial governments.

Circle Drive South, the Parkway Bridge/Traffic Bridge, moving the bus barns, 8 new schools with community centres and 360 daycare spaces, the Shaw Centre and the SaskTel Soccer Centre are all the results of partnership investments.

In the last decade we created 50,000 jobs and our economy grew by 70%. 90,000 people have chosen to call Saskatoon home in the last 15 years.

TA102412 Tammy

Saskatoon Golf & Country Club

Throughout this election I detailed specific plans for the future. Our Building Better Roads program will now shift focus into the neighbourhoods, right onto to the street in front of your home.

865 Cartwright St West

My sports and recreation plan will create partnerships for new recreation facilities for families and athletes catering to all sports in our multicultural city.

Our city’s cultural groups deserve a place to call home; a Global Village.

Everyone deserves to live in a safe and secure city. One crime is one too many. Every crime we fail to prevent creates a victim. I support our women and men in uniform who put their lives on the line every day.

Together we have accomplished much. More remains to be done. You have a choice on election day; jobs, jobs, jobs or risk the future on inexperience. I humbly ask for your vote.

Sincerely Don Atchison

He said his special forces group “created the last shoot of the last day of the war. We knocked out the guns at Emden (Germany). They were big anti-aircraft guns that would go up and down an elevator so they could put them four storeys down and you couldn’t knock them out with six feet of concrete over it.”

Or so it was thought.

He said the war changed him.

“I am not like anybody I have ever met,” he said. “We went into that weird lifestyle at 17. I didn’t know any of my fellow high school kids. I was gone for that four-five years and they just disappeared. Everyone was gone after the war.

We were on a farm and the farms had gone from a half section to five sections.”

He moved to Saskatoon to start his career in the trades.

He is the sole owner and only employee of Broadway Heating now. The company was initially headquartered in a building at Five Corners — Broadway Avenue and 12th Street.

Figley said the Guinness award has presented him with a problem.

“I now have to compete with myself to set a new record,” he said in an interview with Guinness. “My children and grandchildren include three engineers, four PhDs, a nurse, a lawyer and a veterinarian, but I’m the only one with a Guinness World Record.”

He said he doesn’t plan to retire.

“Working helps keep my body fit and my brain sharp. I hope to die with a pipe wrench in my hand!”

However, there is one thing he doesn’t do.

“I don’t clean drains anymore. That’s a young person’s job.”

a lot of hard thinking about how much to load up on the cards, and discipline in paying the darn things off, to get the points. These points, at least, have come in handy when booking travel. That being said, our Visa has also scaled back on the number of miles you get per dollar, which equally impresses me not; but at least you can actually find flights that you can apply them to.

Whew. That was cleansing. Ranting is good. Sadly, we may have to hurry to Winnipeg soon, and I was anxiously scanning flights for that reason. When some bad things happen, there is often no time to drive. Obviously, I wasn’t even hoping for Air Miles to cover a possible flight within a week or two. But I did check for flights later in the year while I was at it, and again, nothing. Anger boiled over. They have to rename that company. Something like No Air Miles For You. Or Air Miles Just Kidding. Or We Sucked You In With Our Name But You Have To Buy Crappy Merchandise Instead. Too long?

I know, I know. Air Miles are technically free. It’s a loyalty-to-your-grocer thing.

I did not sign up with Air Miles to buy lawn mowers or patio heaters. But that’s exactly what I did last Sunday. I actually bought a lawn mower and a tabletop patio heater. I really need dishes more, but they were so ugly one couldn’t possibly eat off them. There were a bunch of other useless items, and very little variety. So, lawn mower . . . in part because the better half is delighted that it comes with one of those rechargeable batteries you can use with other tools.

Delivery time is at least six weeks, since they’re so busy (I think) shipping stuff out to disgruntled users like me, who figured, what the heck? Might as well buy something with my geriatric points, instead of just watching them fly away. (See what I did there? Fly away. Irony, you know.)

I’m really going to be interested in seeing whether these items actually show up.

His face had sunk in and his hair was long and mangled. This was coming from a man who used to take personal hygiene as a mission.

Sometimes I would go the unit he was in and read stories to him. There was never a reaction, but I liked to believe he was still in there somewhere. Most times his face was dirty, so I would take a damp cloth and wash his face.

“Hey man if you can hear, or feel me, blink your eyes,” I would say, but there was never a reaction.

Then one day I was sitting there reading him a story when I heard him trying to say something. I almost fell over.

“Benson,” I screamed out. “Can you hear me?”

“Of course I can hear you,” he said.

Then he slowly got up to shake my hand and give me a big brotherly bear hug.

There was a mirror directly behind him. I looked into the mirror and I could see my reflection. It was then I noticed I had lost almost 80 pounds, my face was completely sunk in and my hair long and scraggly.

I tried to focus, not believing what I was seeing.

Smith went international, then settled in Saskatoon

M

(Continued from page 1) ost Prairie boys have dreams about how far their skills can take them. Smith had the early skills, but not even his coaches could have guessed at the diverse opportunities he would reach.

He grew up in the Henry Kelsey neighbourhood and first played organized hockey for the Hudson Bay Park Bruins.

He played peewee, bantam and midget for the Aces and, in 1981, won the provincial midget championship with the Aces.

Daryl Lubiniecki was general manager for the Saskatoon Blades and quickly put Smith’s name on the futures list. He played two games at the end of the 1982-83 junior season, another full season with the Blades and was traded to the Calgary Wranglers in the third.

“I talked to Calgary about a role for a 20-year-old, but they wanted five or six of us to try out. I was about ready to enrol in the University of Saskatchewan. I went down to the Arena to watch the Blades practice. Why I went down, I’ll never know. And that afternoon, Lubie gave me a life-changing moment.

“He asked what I was going to do. I told him. He told me to get my skates. He said he’d work out something with Calgary, who still owned my rights.”

As a 20-year-old in the 1985-86 season, Smith scored 60 goals and picked up 86 assists for 146 points, got 13 more points in the playoffs, and that was enough to catch the attention of the Minnesota North Stars.

He played two games in the NHL. He reported to the North Stars for a game against the Oilers in Edmonton.

“I dressed, but didn’t get a shift. I was on the ice, in the warm-ups and all my heroes, Gretzky, Messier and these guys, were on the other end of the rink and skating just a few feet away. My parents saw me when I got on the ice in the next game against the Vancouver Canucks.”

He spent four years in the Minnesota system, but other doors opened for him.

Even after the Olympics, opportunities were there. He played one year in Switzerland, one in Austria, came back to join the Las Vegas Thunder in the International League, and then played another six seasons in Great Britain with Peterborough, Cardiff and Newcastle.

He also played two summers, 1994 and 1995, of roller hockey with the St. Louis Vipers, a team owned by Bernie Federko, also a former Saskatoon Blade.

When he turned to coaching, he spent two years as an assistant coach and one year as head coach with the Swift Current

Broncos of the Western Hockey League.

He chose to resettle in Saskatoon with his wife, Barb, and daughters Kendall and Cassidy. While pursuing a new career as a financial advisor, he did some coaching, including five years with the Saskatoon Blazers of the Saskatchewan Midget Triple A League. He was named the league’s coach of the year in the 2009-2010 season.

and he’s been dead for 30 of those.

Do you know who else was pretty cool? William Patterson. Who? Our first Saskatchewan-born premier, and a Liberal.

He was premier for nine years, up until he was bumped out by Douglas in 1944.

A First World War veteran, he made it his mission to increase social programming to assist Saskatchewan residents out of the dusty, miserable void left by the Great Depression. His government also passed legislation to increase labour standards in Saskatchewan, including legislation giving workers the right to form unions.

There’s no William Patterson Day in Saskatchewan, but there is a Tommy Douglas Day, falling on Douglas’s birthday. That is fine. In his email, Anderson invites readers to celebrate Douglas’s 112th birthday by donating to the party in exchange for a copy of Douglas’s book, Mouseland.

Sigh.

Wrongly credited as the brainchild of Tommy Douglas (it was, in fact, first introduced on or around 1940 by federal CCF MP for Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Clarence Gillis), Mouseland is a political parable in which the people of Saskatchewan and, by extension, the Saskatchewan NDP, are (you guessed it), the mice.

In the story, the mice elect a government of black cats. Why would mice elect cats as their governors? Douglas stopped

Thank You!

just a hair’s breadth away from saying they were stupid. I mean it’s his parable, but whatever. Anyway, the evil black cats, aka conservatives, did evil things, so the mice voted them out in favour of the slightly less-evil but still oppressive white cats, aka liberals. And back and forth went the basically-but-Douglas-wouldn’t-actuallysay-stupid mice/people of Saskatchewan between white and black cats.

And then, a mouse had an idea! What if the mice elected other mice to govern, instead of cats? Alas, the black and white cats didn’t like that idea much, so they threw the mouse in jail for being a Communist.

“But I want to remind you that you can lock up a mouse or a man but you can’t lock up an idea,” is how Douglas wrapped up the parable, leaving the mouse to languish in prison and what I’m thinking might have been a slightly confused audience.

Cute story. In 2006, however, the Sask.

Party cottoned on to the idea that Saskatchewan people actually didn’t want to see themselves as mice anymore, and ripped the narrative out of the NDP’s hands with a parody of Douglas’s beloved fable. Today, I’d argue it’s time to shelve Mouseland altogether, along with its divisive, dated narrative. But there it was, in a Sask. NDP email in 2016.

Women’s council celebrates 100 years of action Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express asteurized milk in restaurants. Movies rated General, PG-13 or Restricted. Certification for food handlers.

These are all things we take for granted today, but believe it or not, they are the outcome of hard-fought battles won by determined Saskatoon women.

The Saskatoon Council of Women (SCW), founded in 1916, aims to better the lives of women and children, and to contribute to the development and enhancement of community life. This year the SCW is celebrating its 100th anniversary, along with the 20th anniversary of its Saskatoon Women’s Hall of Fame.

“Saskatoon Council is part of the Provincial Council of Women, the National Council and through them the International Council of Women,” said Ruth Robinson, treasurer of the SCW. “One of the original advocates for a council in Saskatoon was Christina Murray, the wife of then-University of Saskatchewan president Walter Murray, who became the first Saskatoon Council president.”

Early SCW efforts focused on children’s issues like kindergartens, playgrounds and providing a school for the deaf. Over the years, the council evolved, studying and taking action on increasingly complex matters facing Saskatoon residents such as gambling, libraries, health certificates for food handlers, pasteurized milk in restaurants, and film classification.

(Continued from page 8) n fact, the Saskatchewan NDP treasurer said right in the body of his note that the story highlights “how neither the Liberal or (sic) Conservatives are truly interested in what matters to ordinary citizens.”

Are you kidding me? You live in and want to govern a province that elected, by a landslide, a coalition of Liberal and Conservatives, but still think you’ve got claim to the moral high ground? That with 10 MLAs out of 61, only a fraction of a minority of Saskatchewan’s “ordinary citizens” understand who is “truly interested” in what matters to them?

Never mind the fact that with membership numbers at rock bottom, a brand that is tanking across the country, and an embarrassingly low number of seats in the legislature, the NDP in Saskatchewan are going to need some of those L(l)iberals and even C(c) onservatives to buy into whatever party they decide they want to be in the next four years.

True, you can’t lock up an idea, but you sure can shelve it. It’s time for the Saskatchewan NDP to wake up, acknowledge the culture, mindset and socio-economic landscape driving this province today, as opposed to 70 years ago (do I need to bring up eugenics?) and figure out what, and perhaps who, they need to shelve, if they ever want to find relevance again in 21st century Saskatchewan.

project in 1967 to restore the Little Stone School House on the University of Saskatchewan grounds,” said Robinson. “Not only was it restored by the women, but they opened it to the public with volunteer council members as attendants and guides.

They continued for many years until the staffing was taken over by the U of S and the Diefenbaker Centre.”

In 1996, the SCW wanted to recognize the outstanding contributions of the women in the community and ensure that others knew about its work, so the Saskatoon Women’s Hall of Fame was launched. The first inductees coincided with the national annual meeting held in Saskatoon in 1996.

Nancy Adams, Jessie Caldwell and Helen Hnatyshyn, all lifelong voluntary contributors to the city, were the first inductees.

While the SCW has seen its numbers ebbing and falling as Saskatoon’s demographic and non-profit landscape has changed over the years, it is still active in addressing issues in Saskatoon, including two forums in the last two years on mental health, while always staying true to the central issue of women’s rights.

“We are having a lunch on Thursday, Oct. 27, at the Hilton Garden Inn,” said Robinson, a 25-year volunteer with the SCW. “Tickets are $35 and must be prepurchased. The lunch also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Saskatoon Women’s Hall of Fame and Persons’ Day — all are welcome.”

I understand planning for the future, but why not build to accommodate an addition when the need arises? If not that, why not put up a demising wall and leave the excess space unused, thus saving on utility and maintenance costs? Both Atchison and Clark sat on the Board of Police Commissioners and need to be held to account, as do all incumbent councillors who supported these expenditures.

What was the consequence to those in administration responsible for the bad advice that caused the illegal transit lockout and subsequent cost to taxpayers? Or did they all just get pay raises? I guess the loss of a few million bucks of taxpayer money doesn’t warrant a wink, blink or nod. All incumbents should answer for that decision.

What about the parking stations downtown that don’t always work? Not only has the city lost parking revenue, but users lose loonies in those machines and are not always able to get a printed receipt to prove payment. When parking stations were first introduced, I was of the understanding that you would be able to add time to your parking through an app using a cell phone, without being physically present at your

vehicle. Instead, if you have a half hour of paid time left and need an extra half hour for your appointment, adding that half hour before the initial paid time is up means you lose existing time and rather than spending a loonie you have to plug in a toonie. What a rip. (This only happens when the stations actually work.)

I wanted to ask, when the growth plan approved by council encouraged city centre and downtown density, why are we spending hundreds of millions of dollars on roadways, overpasses and new bridges to accommodate urban sprawl? This is not a question of sprawl vis-à-vis density; it is a question of consistency. And why did new roadway infrastructure to service urban sprawl get priority over repair and maintenance of existing roadways which were falling into decay? Basically, outside of city growth, what value do we get for our tax dollars?

Without serious answers to my questions, how do I make a decision in the mayoral race? Well, if I want status quo, I vote Atchison; if I want status quo, plus massive bike-lane infrastructure, I vote Clark; if I want real change, I take a flyer on Moore. If I don’t like any of these three, but want to exercise my franchise, I’ll throw my vote away on Hein.

Did Laine Finnish Leafs?

I

By RJ Currie must admit I’ve had trouble rooting for some players on the now-finished 2016 Toronto Blue Jays. In fact, right now I’m typing only with my middle fingers • Jets rookie Patrik Laine scored three goals in Winnipeg’s comeback OT win over the Maple Leafs. Likely not the first to say it, but what the heck — Hat-trick Laine?

• In answer to a question by Charlie Rose, Tiger Woods said he believes he can win more than 18 majors. I have a question: What colour is the sky in Tiger’s world?

• The performance of rookie running back Zeke Elliott in the Cowboys five straight wins has local papers calling Dallas “Zeke town.” What’s next? How Bout Dem’ CowboyZ? • It seems Cleveland pitcher Ryan Merritt wasn’t “shaking in his boots” after all.

José Bautista’s boots? They were planted firmly in his mouth.

• The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to contract extension with Giannis Antetokounmpo worth nine figures. Word is he wanted a salary of 13 figures, to match his surname.

• The Dodgers thumped the Cubs and chased their ace Jake Arrieta from the game for a 2-1 NLCS lead. Note to cursed Cubbies fans: Don’t let it get your goat.

• The Cleveland Indians won Game 3 of the ALCS despite losing their starting pitcher who was hurt by a drone. That’s right, a drone — the flying kind, not Donald Trump.

• Texans defensive end JJ Watt’s injury

Put Our Experienced, Award Winning Team of REALTORS® To Work For You

Jose Bautista (Wiki Photo) reportedly may be season-ending. This has Houston fans asking “Now Watt?”

• Reuters reports three men who were allegedly selling horsemeat as beef have been charged with fraud. Or should I say saddled with fraud?

• A study found Millennials are three times less likely to have casual sex than Generation X-ers. However, they are 10 times more likely to yap about it on social media.

• Over 600 runners from 28 countries took part in Red Bull’s 400 Event, where competitors run up a ski hill. “We can relate,” said the Cleveland Browns.

• Another week, another pro athlete accused of domestic violence, this time Giants kicker Josh Brown. The gene pool of these guys can use some chlorine.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week Disgruntled Winnipeg blue-liner Jacob Trouba continues to sit out waiting for the Jets to trade him. Between then and now will be a bridge over Trouba waters.

Dear Lianne My son met a girl. He really likes her and I don’t. She works selling clothes in the mall. She is not very smart and her parents are divorced.

I came to this country with my young boy and husband. We have worked so hard to give him all the opportunities to succeed. He has been at the top of his class from the beginning and has a wonderful job. We are so proud of him. Now he finds this woman

BETTER ZIP IT

who is not what I had hoped for him.

How do we tell our son that he could do much better by picking a smart, educated woman from a good home not a broken home? He is our only child and I want the best for him.

When she comes to our home I go in the bedroom and close the door.

How do I tell him she is wrong for him? Can I buy him a membership with your company?

Concerned Mama

Dear Mama, It sounds like you have raised a bright, respectable man who should be quite capable to make wise choices.

The worst thing you could do would be to criticize his choice in a girlfriend.

That only acts like a glue that will stick them together. Step back, be friendly and allow him to decide if this is the right woman for him. By you being rude and sulking will only strain the relationship between you and this

woman. Whether you like it or not, she may become your daughter in law one day. Do not scar your relationship with her by being cold and judgemental.

Take some time to get to know her.

Clearly she will have admirable traits that your son has recognized. Give her a chance. You will likely be quite surprised. As far as you buying him a membership at Camelot Introductions, you and I both know he is not in the market for another woman.

Young Paralympian hopes to inspire at Choc’laCure Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express askatoon athlete Samantha Ryan is still pinching herself.

“It hits me multiple times a day that I actually competed in the Paralympic Games,” said the 17-year-old swimmer, who just recently returned home from Rio. “It has been a little crazy since coming back from the Games.”

Ryan is no stranger to the world of competitive athletics.

In 2015 she was dubbed one of Canada’s fastest rising stars in para-swimming, after winning silver in the 100-metre butterfly at the Toronto 2015 Parapan Am Games. That was only a few weeks after she took fifth place in the same event at the IPC World Championships.

At the Paralympic Games, which wrapped up in midSeptember, Ryan participated in five different swimming events. While she didn’t find herself at the podium, she certainly did not wind up short of amazing experiences.

“One of my favourite memories from Rio was when I made the finals for 100 fly,” said Ryan. “Hearing my name as I walked to my block for the race, and hearing my team and my family cheer for me gave me such a crazy amount of emotions that I was not able to process at the time, as I had to stay focused on my race.

“Once I touched the wall, and got a good look at almost every seat being occupied was definitely a sight I will always remember,” she continued.

Back home in Saskatoon, Ryan is hoping to continue to make memories and inspire others, this time as the guest speaker at this year’s Choc’laCure Gala on the evening of Nov. 4.

Now celebrating its 10th year, Choc’laCure, founded and hosted by the good people at Dutch Growers, has raised more than $1.8 million, with 100 per cent of those funds directly funding equipment for the Saskatoon Cancer Centre.

With events such as the annual November Gala, a JW102407 James

Samantha Ryan swam in five events at the Paralympic Games. (Photo Supplied) fall fashion show, sporting events, a dance festival, fitness days and other community initiatives throughout Saskatchewan, Choc’laCure has made a huge impact on anyone in this province who has had to endure cancer treatment.

“Events such as these have allowed people who have or have had cancer to benefit from the best treatments,” said Ryan. “In my opinion it is important to support causes like Choc’LaCure, because of the impact proper medical equipment has on people’s lives.”

Ryan has drop foot, meaning she has difficulty fully controlling her feet, as a result of nerve damage sustained during a childhood operation to remove her tailbone.

She learned to swim with the Flin Flon Aqua Jets, joined the Saskatoon Goldfins in 2012, and only started competing internationally two years ago.

In addition to her stellar performances at the 2015 Parapan Am Games and IPC World Championships, Ryan earned two bronze medals at the 2014 Pan Pacific Paraswimming Championships and won five medals for Team Saskatchewan at the 2013 Canada Games, including two gold.

A humble, poised young woman, Ryan is not daunted

by the notion of turning her hard work and experiences so far into inspiration for others. She’s looking forward to opening up to the Choc’laCure Gala audience, and says doing so makes her want to work harder to represent herself, the province and Canada as a whole.

“As of now, I am still training and attending school, but am putting my focus on recovering from the Games, spending time with my family and friends before I reset my goals and get back into living as an elite athlete,” said Ryan. “Outside of swimming, I hope to one day make an impact on, specifically, an athlete’s life, as many of my coaches, trainers and team mates have had on me.”

This year’s gala will support advanced medical imaging and treatment planning, according to its website. This initiative is a two-year plan set out by the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency for specialized equipment and software, giving the centre not only the ability to improve imaging and safety for all radiation therapy patients, but also move the agency forward in becoming innovators in radiation oncology quality assurance.

Special collection on display at stamp and coin show Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express he Saskatoon Coin & Stamp Show will have a special guest this year.

An exhibit previously only shown in Monte Carlo, Monaco, will be on display at the two-day event.

It is described as “a 16-page display of gems of Canadian Philatelic Literature.”

In simpler words, it is contains a lot of cool stuff in stamp collecting history, including some early periodicals and the first stamp album published in Canada.

“It is quite an honour for us. This is very early material,” said long-time Saskatoon stamp collector and stamp evaluator Ernie Wlock.

Saskatoon’s stamp collectors and coin collectors join forces for the annual show.

There will 15 coin vendors at the show and seven stamp dealers.

“It’s one of the top shows in Western Canada,” Wlock said. “It’s a good show for the dealers. They do a lot of selling here.”

Members of the public can do buying and viewing. The stamp club is always looking for new members.

The club is currently 40 collectors strong.

“There are many people in Saskatoon and surrounding area that are stamp collectors but don’t belong to a club. If we could have all of them as members, we’d be triple our membership if not more,” Wlock said.

Janice Newman, a member of the show committee, started collecting stamps when her father gave her an album when she was 10. She still has it and has added many more during the past 50 years.

She said one stamp package stands out from her youth.

“My mom and dad had friends that had gone to Mexico and they remembered that I was collecting stamps and brought me back a package of Mexican stamps.

That was probably the very first time I got anything other than Canadian. After that, I

T

started buying them at the stamp stores.”

Newman, who is also the treasurer of the local club, says the sky is literally the limit in the world of stamp collecting.

She said she is particularly enamored of stamps with historical value. She said there are people collecting Olympic stamps, pet stamps and just about anything else that can be stuck on an envelope.

She said some prominent people have been stamp collectors. Theodore Roosevelt was a closet collector, accumulating one of the biggest collections ever known.

After his death, his wife Eleanor shared his secret, Wlock said.

John Lennon collected and then defaced many of his stamps by drawing on them. Being John Lennon, his doodling added to their value. Freddie Mercury of Queen was also a collector.

The world’s largest collection belongs to Queen Elizabeth. Apparently she gets first dibs on the first printing of every stamp produced in the empire.

Newman said one of the beauties of collecting is the availability of old stamps.

“Things that were printed 50 years ago are still available. When you go to the stamp show there is no limit. If you are missing stamps from the ’80s, you are going to find them. It’s not like everything is all brand new.

“We have stuff back to the 1900s, 1800s. It’s not like an antique that once you buy, it’s gone and you are never going to see it again. At the show, you’re going to find all sorts of things that you didn’t know were still around. You can always fill or start a collection. It’s a universal thing.”

The 54th annual Saskatoon Coin & Stamp Show will be held Oct. 29-30 at the Ramada Hotel & Golf Dome. Times are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 29 and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 30. Admission is $5 for adults. Children 12 and under are admitted at no charge.

Bring HOME to Rehab

Creating a welcoming environment The numbness comes first, then you can’t talk. You’re having a stroke. The next thing you know, you’re in a hospital ward. You can’t move your hands, you can’t walk, you can’t communicate.

It’s entirely possible to return to a healthy life. But where would you rather recover – in an institutional-like setting or somewhere more reminiscent of home?

This is what professionals at Saskatoon City Hospital’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Centre want with Bringing Home to Rehab.

The 33-bed, intensive rehab program sees many patients recovering from conditions such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, other neurological disorders, and amputations or multiple traumas.

Bringing Home to Rehab will make recovery the best it can be. The project will result in a more responsive physical environment. It will create a culturally inclusive and welcoming atmosphere with art and décor.

It will bring patients comforts of home such as communications and entertainment devices.

Rehab’s Dr. Gary Linassi says, “We provide exceptional care at the lowest part of people’s lives.

We want to create an environment they know and understand. Making the ward more comfortable, where patients can think about the future rather than dwell on what’s happened, is a good first step.”

Donate today if you want to create a more welcoming environment for the hospital’s rehab patients.

Call 306-655-8489 or visit SCHFdonate.com.

Views of the World

Let’s not call the Riders a great team just yet

he way the Toronto Maple Leafs continue to trot out old guys in pregame ceremonies, I honestly thought their sweater numbers were already retired.

The Leafs are 100 years old and it seems to me the Edmonton Oilers have darn near as many legends in their 40.

• Seeing Johnny Bower always makes me happy.

• Torben Rolfsen, on the Blue Jays confirming John Gibbons will be returning: “They just haven’t said in what capacity.

Hitting coach may be open.”

• Janice Hough, on Kenyan-born Malik Obama getting a front-row seat at the final presidential debate: “So Donald Trump was just using another immigrant to take something from Americans.”

• I chuckle whenever Trump says bigly.

• Bill Littlejohn, on many shots of the crowd during the NLCS showing Larry King: “As if the Cubs needed something else to remind them of how long it’s been.”

• I admit I missed being mad at broad-

caster Buck Martinez during the Blue Jays’ playoff run.

• I used to be a strong believer in having a DH. I’m not so sure now after watching National League managers making pitching changes so adeptly. I know one thing: Gibbons couldn’t manage in the NL. • Good riddance to Jose Bautista as a Blue Jay. It will be interesting to see where he takes his arrogance.

• From Rolfsen: “Is Colin Kaepernick protesting the barber profession?”

• From Hough: “Great year for Cleveland: the Cavs have an NBA ring, the Indians are in the World Series, and the Browns are going to get a No. 1 draft pick.”

• The worst laugh: Buck Martinez or Rick from Pawn Stars?

• From comedic genius Steve Martin: “Dear Satan, thank you for introducing recorded music into restaurants. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

• Should the CFL award the Calgary Stampeders the Grey Cup, or play it out?

• There is more room on the sidewalks on Yonge Street now that the lawn chairs for the Blue Jays parade have been removed.

• Wayne Gretzky to @randyturner15, when asked if he is looking forward to seeing Teemu Selanne at the Legends game: “I know my wife will. That’s her favourite player.”

• From Roughriders broadcaster Rod Petersen: “The Roughriders appear to be back to being a good — maybe even great — football team even if it’s too late (to make the playoffs).” I will go with pretty good.

• Rolfsen, on the NBA broadcasting one game a week in virtual reality: “Knicks fans have been experiencing that for 15 years.”

• From Hough: “New York Giants placekicker Josh Brown got only a one-game suspension, despite increasing evidence, including a journal given to police, that he abused his now ex-wife. Well, it’s not like he did anything really awful, like missing a game-winning kick.”

TA102416 Tammy

• Republican commentator Ana Navarro, on Donald Trump’s low rating among Hispanic voters: “(He’s in) the same favourability range as malaria and Dengue Fever.”

• I am with Rob Bagg and others that they say it is time for the CFL to do away with the division format. I’m guessing the majority of fans don’t care about the EastWest thing like they did a generation or two ago.

• Nik Lewis, on the CFL rule that prevents Duron Carter from playing for another team this season: “How is it reasonable that you play this long in a season and be released without any further pay, and you can’t play for another team?” He has a point.

• The worst job in sports: Cleaning a dugout after the slobs that play baseball finish a game.

• Another from @randyturner15: “I’m beginning to think the only team that does worse than the Jets with a man advantage is the Saskatchewan Roughriders.”
