NED POWERS
Radar systems used radio waves to determine the range, angle and velocity of objects, a method developed just prior to the Second World War and enhanced greatly during the war. Basically, a British aircraft would have radar installed immediately in front of where the pilot sat. The scope showed the pilot how close he was to an enemy bomber which he could chase. It even allowed him to aim his guns at a plane above him. Once the pursuing fighter plane was within 500 yards of the enemy, the cannons went off automatically, usually followed by the fireworks. Attached to airborne radar, Gow and fellow Canadians made a significant
contribution to Britain’s success and later India’s defence in widely separated conflicts. History books show that Winston Churchill, then prime minister of Great Britain, told Mackenzie King, prime minister of Canada, that Britain had the aircraft and ground stations, but urgently needed radar installers and technicians. Canada responded. The primary Battle of Britain, which occurred in 1941, had been won by the defending nation against the German enemy but Gow said “even after I went to Britain, the Germans were still coming at us.” (Continued on page 7)

George got to ride in the truck. “Luckily no cops caught us,” Haigh said. Performing dental surgery on a lion requires some improvisation. “It was a big job because with human teeth, it is pretty easy because you set very fine sets of equipment designed for very small teeth. In this case, they had to get coping saw blades from a hardware store – they were about big enough to clean the inside and use pipe cleaners to dry it. I don’t think root canal surgery has ever been done with a pipe cleaner. They put this special glue on the teeth and put on the false teeth and they fitted perfectly, so George went home with two steel false teeth and lived out his days.” If you don’t believe it, George’s skull — false teeth and all — is stored at the vet college. It goes on public display during Vetavision, a show held every three years. The story of George’s dental work is one of many in Haigh’s latest book, Porcupines to Polar Bears. The book chronicles many of Haigh’s experiences as a wildlife veterinarian in Canada. He was working in Saskatoon at the time — half time at the zoo and half time at the U of S. His job description allowed him to go off and study seals, moose, polar bears and the like. Haigh arrived in Saskatoon by way of Kenya in 1975. He was born in the African country and got his veterinary degree in Glasgow, Scotland. He said he saw an ad Dr. Jerry Haigh (left) was part of polar bear studies in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Baby girl extends family to six generations
Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express t’s a rare scenario to see six generations of one family walking the Earth at one time. At seven pounds, nine ounces, the birth of Callie Elizabeth Grace Marsh in Lethbridge last month made that phenomenon a reality for a family with deep roots in Saskatoon. It all began with Vera. She was born just outside Saskatoon in 1920 and spent the next 60 years of her life here, the majority of those with her husband, Ron Sommerfeld. The Sommerfelds retired to Vernon, B.C., and, after her husband’s death in 2009, Vera moved to Lethbridge to be closer to her abundant extended family. She still has friends and family in Saskatoon and area, including niece Cheryl Mercier. “Vera’s descendants are related to one of Saskatoon’s founding pioneers, Paul Sommerfeld, who Sommerfeld Avenue in named for,” said Mercier. “Vera’s fatherin-law, Wilbur Sommerfeld, founded longstanding Saskatoon business Sommerfeld Electric. “Wilbur and Vera’s husband, son, and granddaughter — four generations — all attended Victoria School. Her granddaughter had the honour of unveiling the school’s statue years ago.” “She has 40 direct descendants,” explained Gwen Shaw, Vera’s daughter. “She has three children, nine grandchildren, 10

The six generations are from left to right: Vera Sommerfeld, Grace Couturier, Callie Marsh, Alisa Marsh, Amanda Cormier and Gwen Shaw. (Photo Supplied) great-grandchildren, 15 great-great-grandchildren and now one great-great-greatgranddaughter.” Both Shaw, who is 75, and her daughter Grace Couturier, 59, were born in Saskatoon. Couturier’s 39-year-old daughter Amanda is now grandmother to her 20-year-old daughter’s new bundle of joy, Callie Elizabeth. All six generations of women were together at Lethbridge’s Chinook Regional Hospital to celebrate Callie’s birth. “Mom has passed on her love of cooking and baking and was great at all of it,” said Shaw. “She is all but famous for her gravy and is still asked to make it at family
functions. She has been able to travel to Arizona for the past few years with my daughter Grace and is still hopeful she will be able to go again this year. She remains as active today as she is able.” Vera finds all kind of motivation to keep going, day after day, most recently advising her family that she was determined to hold her great-great-great-granddaughter. “I knew (six generations alive at once) would be possible, because some of us were fairly young when we had our children,” said Shaw, who also admits that while they all love it, it’s still a bit of a challenge for some of the women in the family to come to terms with being grand-
mothers and great-grandmothers at such young ages. “But it depends on the longevity of others, so I didn’t really expect it,” she continued. “I didn’t know it was as rare as it was until I looked it up.” Vera’s daughters and granddaughters won’t have to look up too many life lessons, as all the women in her family have been passing down years of knowledge to each other. “We all as a family feel blessed to have longevity on both Mom and Dad’s family,” said Shaw. “We’re lucky to have had the kind of family that instilled in us the values we cherish today.”

It’s not Freddy or Bubbles sitting on a ladies’ handbag and you can put it on the table and give it a needle. So we had to work out how to do that.” Haigh invented a blowgun from which he could shoot the tranquilizer or vaccination into the animal. He has sedated a lot of critters with it, some with hides as thick as a rhino’s. “They got very sophisticated, way past what I developed. You have to remember that was ’76 or something like that.” He said his chance to work on national research projects was an “incredible stroke of luck.” He said a guy walked into his office one day wanting to get some drugs for moose research. “I said, ‘I am not allowed to give them to you because they have to be licensed for a veterinarian.’ I said, ‘I can get some free drugs from Belgium, things I had worked with extensively with elephants and rhinos in my Africa days and I would come and do the work for free.’” That put Haigh in the research game and provided information for a book — Of Moose and Men. AS110710 Aaron
“We did a whole of radio (tracking) collaring of the moose and studies of this, that, and the other disease for several seasons. We did other stuff with moose calves. There was a real concern about calves dying. It quickly became apparent that bears were a major killer of moose calves. Nobody realized how bad that was. Bears are really fast runners and moose calves are like an hors d’oeuvre to a bear — just a quick starter.” He said the polar bear study also started with researchers needing a drug to tranquilize these majestic animals. “I gave them a cocktail idea and sent some to them and it was a terrific success until one bear played possum. That was bad news, because it damn near killed somebody. “We tried another drug that worked, but could only be used by a vet. So we then tried a third one and finally we got somewhere.” The studies were of population, reproduction and disease. “They wanted to know how many cubs are born every year and how often they are born. In those days it was way better than it is now because of this losing of ice — this climate change thing. There was a time when they would have an average of two point something cubs every second year and now it’s one point something every third year. It’s a huge difference and it’s because they can’t get the grub they need.” Haigh said he is concerned with the state of wildlife in the world. A recent study predicted 58 per cent will be gone by 2020. Does Haigh believe it? “Absolutely. When I was working in Kenya, just Kenya, there were 6,000 rhinos in the country. Now there are less

than 600, 40 years later. “The lion populations have crashed today with less than 20,000 in Africa. When I was working there, there were 200,000. Elephants, you probably know, have been killed every 15 minutes, maybe 20 minutes, day and night. That’s pretty grim … it’s a disaster.” Haigh has been retired since 2009 and is now a professional storyteller. In his travels, which have taken him far and wide, he says children usually want him to talk about Africa. One of his favourite stories is the one of meeting and marrying his wife, Jo. Even his honeymoon involved an animal. They were staying at a five-star safari club. Back in the day, you might see Barbra Streisand, Michael Caine and William Holden hanging out at this one. He said the phone rang at 6 a.m. on his wedding night. “We think it’s a prank, right? It wasn’t. It was the owners of the place and they had a pedigree miniature long-haired Dachshund who was having puppies and got stuck and asked if I could help. AS110719 Aaron
“So I go down and luckily it wasn’t very difficult to help pop the pups out. And I went back to say hello to my new wife. We had breakfast and went down to pay the bill and they wouldn’t accept a cent. So that was nice. It was a big five star so it wasn’t a cup of coffee and a pack of potato chips kind of price.” Haigh says he has an idea for another book — it will be his fifth when it is written. He says he has had a great career and has worked on some very good research teams. Studies are a team effort, he stresses. “I’ve been lucky. Sometimes you make your own luck and there have been plenty of lucky opportunities.” Haigh will be doing a reading and book signing at McNally Robinson on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. For more information on his writing and to purchase books, visit jerryhaigh.com. His work is also available at some bookstores.

Gow has never missed a service at SaskTel Centre
G
(Continued from page 1) ow spent about a month in England and then he and some friends received orders to report for what was called an overseas mission. Given summer uniforms, they suspected they were going somewhere warmer but never knew their final destination until the ship, SS Rangitata, entered the Bombay harbour in India in September. He would service allied aircraft in India from late 1943 until the end of the Second World War in August 1945, contributing to repelling the Japanese enemy which was trying to encroach on the peninsula leading to India. In England, he serviced planes like the Typhoons and Mosquitos. In India, it was Spitfires, Hurricanes, Thunderbolts, Mustangs, Beaufighters and Sea Otters. Some of the potential hazards Gow faced happened while travelling the oceans. En route to England from Canada in May 1943, he was aboard the Empress of Scotland. “We didn’t have an escort. The ship was altering course every seven to 10 minutes, trying not to catch the attention of German submarines. We made it safely. But many of us were from the Prairies on their first voyages and a lot of us got seasick.” At the start of the trip to India, it was quite an armada with 15 ships, eight destroyers and one cruiser. At one point, a cruiser and five ships went into the Mediterranean; the rest went towards South Africa. “One day near South Africa, our engine stopped – a cracked piston, they said. It was an eerie feeling because we were left alone. We finally started up and rejoined the convoy. Someone on the lead ship sent us the biblical message ‘the shepherd rejoiceth when the lost sheep returned to the flock.’ Often on our guard, ships left and were busy hunting Japanese submarines. The subs were always a concern for us.” At war’s end, the ship from Bombay to London took an arduous 16-day journey through the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean. Then, from London to New York, they were treated to a ride on the Queen Elizabeth in the company of about 7,000 men. The magnificent sights in India were a bonus to Gow, who experienced an adventure he never thought was possible. He enlisted at the RCAF offices in Winnipeg and took his basic training at Brandon. He took radio training at the University of Saskatchewan for four months and lived in Qu’Appelle Hall. Then it was on to Toronto, Clinton and overseas. There was some tradition of going to war within the family. His father, William, fought in the First World War at famous battle sites like Passchendaele, the Somme and Vimy Ridge. He has a photo of his dad carrying a machine gun and standing in the mud at the Somme. His father’s battalion was nicknamed the “Suicide Battalion.” Of 5,000 in the battalion, only about 1,100 survived. His father later became a Canadian Pacific Railway lineman stationed mostly in Winnipeg, Minnedosa and Kenora. Upon Gow’s return to the farm at Napinka, Man., it was three days before Christmas and he asked his dad how he
could help. “My dad said I could go out and split some wood. It was 20 below and windy, and after the weather in India, with its monsoons and desert conditions, it was a drastic change.” An aunt, Nan Marshall, a financial manager at CFQC in Saskatoon, found him a job at A.A. Murphy’s wholesale supplier. He moved to the federal customs bureau and was an excise tax collections officer when he retired in 1981. Whatever Gow endured in war service paled in comparison to a disaster which happened on Queen Street in Saskatoon in 1957. His wife, Ida, was in a car with three children, Willa, John and Marsha, all under the age of four, when she was killed in a car accident. The Gows had been married for close to eight years. Gow’s sister, Joan, came to the immediate rescue and she and her husband, Murray Caswell, took care of the children for a time. Gow remarried in 1960 and he and Jennie spent 40 years together until she died in 2001. For much of his life, Gow has remained active with the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan Masons and has a 70-year membership pin in his collection. He has been a master four times, three times in the Victory lodge in Saskatoon and once with the Asquith lodge. He began attending the Remembrance Day celebrations in the days when it was held at the old downtown arena and has been at every one since the 1988 opening of Saskatchewan Place, now known as SaskTel Centre. He will join his friends at breakfast in the traditional gathering of the Ancient Roaring and Raucous Order of Armistices at the Saskatoon Club early on Nov. 11 and then attend the celebrations at SaskTel Centre with some of his family.

Clothing line provides inspirational messages Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express im and Scott Dolan have been living with anxiety. While many suffer in silence, the Dolans have made the difficult decision to share their stories. Their experiences are reflected in a line of clothing — Authentic Brave Apparel — with each piece containing an inspirational message. Kim Dolan kept her struggle with anxiety to herself for a long time. Most do. “I kept it very private, didn’t talk about it because people didn’t understand it,” she said. “I thought you just deal with it. It’s not visible, you look fine and happy and outgoing, but it’s not visible so people don’t understand it.” The anxiety heightened during her time in human resources at Target. When the corporation decided to close its stores in Canada, Dolan had to deliver the news to people she had hired. “I invested so much time in it. I hired everybody and passed along this message that it was so great and had great things to offer – great benefits. Then a number of years later, I had to tell them we’re closing and everyone is losing their jobs. “Anxiety for me went really high. There was a bit of depression almost, feeling guilt for the people that lost their jobs. I felt like I had a part to do with it when I didn’t.” Fewer than two months ago, Kim and Scott, who were married in 2013, decided to share their stories on their company’s website — authenticbraveapparel.com. It wasn’t easy. “We put it out there and said, ‘Is this too much information?’” Kim said. Scott wondered the same thing. “You almostJames don’t want to use your own JW110702 name at the start,” he said. “We are putting
K
ourselves out there and here’s our story. Hopefully that can get you through something, whatever your challenge is in your walk of life. Everybody has something; everybody’s story is unique. We are just trying to spread that love around to help somebody get through whatever it may be.” Scott has suffered from panic attacks. “I still struggle with anxiety all the time,” he said. “For example, I will fall asleep and wake up at midnight and all of a sudden I will be panicked and wonder what’s happening. Why is this going on? You deal with it; you calm yourself down. There are lots of coping methods and eventually I get back to bed.” The two have struggled to have children, another source of stress in their lives. “We have had IVF (in vitro fertilization) two times,” Kim said. “To do one round of that is $10,000. There is no funding for it. There is no support group for it. You go and pay the money and hope that it works. And it hasn’t worked. Now we are going through our third time. That was really personal for us to share. The first time we went through it, we didn’t tell anybody. You feel embarrassed.” Well-meaning friends unknowingly asked when they were planning to start a family. Scott’s standard answer was “soon.” “You never wanted to talk about it,” he said. “But now we decided to just let’s go for it because it is less stressful. Somebody needs to be first and get it out there so others can hopefully come after you and realize it’s OK. It’s not embarrassing — it’s life.” Kim is now working full time in their business, while Scott combines the clothing company with his career in real estate. Authentic Brave Apparel is clearly a passion for both. Cancer has touched their lives. One of the messages the couple uses
Scott and Kim Dolan will have a booth at the Wilson Centre’s Pitch Party on Nov. 14. (Photo by Mark Tiu) in the clothing line was inspired by Kim’s mother, Donna Hall. “My mom was diagnosed four years ago with lymphoma, so she has gone through treatment. It is the type of cancer that is not curable, but they can treat it.” The message is Every Day is a Great Day. “Because for her, every day she is healthy and happy is a great day,” Kim said.
It is a top-seller, especially among women, Kim added. “I had a customer last weekend who bought it for a friend who was diagnosed just two days prior with breast cancer. You never want to hear somebody is touched by cancer or diagnosed with cancer, but hopefully this can bring a little smile to their life or their journey.” (Continued on page 9)

Woman stays strong after breaking her neck
Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ike the message on her tank top, Keasha Sjodin stayed strong. The 22-year-old Saskatonian broke her neck in a rugby game on May 28 of this year. At the time she was training to become a member of the RCMP. The injury put that aspiration on hold, but only temporarily as it turned out. “In our very first league rugby game of the season, just before halftime, I ended up getting hit straight on after I picked up a ball. My head bent downwards into my chin and I ended up fracturing my C5 (vertebra).” “It was devastating. All my hard work and effort was on hold. I am very active, I love wake boarding, playing volleyball and other summer activities. However, I spent my summer days sitting in a lawn chair watching my siblings do all the things I loved to do.” After the injury, she spent between eight and 12 hours in hospital where it was determined she wouldn’t need surgery. Sjodin posted her story on the website for a Saskatoon clothing company named Authentic Brave Apparel. She was given a T-shirt and decided to go with one that said, Stay Strong. It was a perfect fit for her and her goals. Stay Strong is one of the inspirational messages on the clothing made by Authentic Brave Apparel. Keasha’s story had a huge impact on Kim and Scott Dolan, owners of the company. “This is what we are trying to do,” Kim said. “To see that smile on her face and

It is important to give back to the community, so five per cent of their profits are going to various city charities. “The messages we are trying to spread are strong ones,” Kim said. Authentic Brave Apparel will get to spread its message at the Wilson Centre’s annual Pitch Party as one of 20 tradeshow booths.

People can relate to the things we use on the shirt.” Sjodin is feeling great now. “For just over a month now I have been back to myself, 100 per cent. When I was out of the neck brace it was basically back to square one; I was so weak at the time.” While her rugby career is over — she fractured her back playing three years ago — she has resumed training for her goal of becoming an RCMP officer. “I am still going through the process,” she said. “I had to tell them about it and they said they would continue my application process. They requested I let them know when I am cleared for vigorous activity.” That clearance came last month. “I would like to get the point across that you can do anything if you keep thinking positive.” And stay strong.

how under-resourced are Saskatchewan newsrooms. An order-in-council (OC) set before Premier Wall’s cabinet ministers on Oct. 12 read: “The Minister of Finance of the Province of Saskatchewan is hereby authorized to borrow money by way of loan upon the credit of the Government of Saskatchewan . . . up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000,000.00.” That’s a lot of zeroes. Behind the scenes, there was a school of thought that suggested that this money was being borrowed to refinance old debt. However, while the OC does indicate the money can be used for that purpose, it also lists a whole bunch of other stuff the government could borrow money for, including padding the general revenue fund (GRF – basically the account they use to operate the province with, which should, in theory, be funded by general revenue, not borrowed cash.

If it’s being used to refinance debt, then which debt and at what interest rate? Just as, if not more importantly, if it’s new debt, then what in the world is going on? I hope we have those answers by the time you’re reading this. If we don’t, you need to call your MLA, especially if you have kids, because they’re the ones who are going to end up this latest $6 billion tab. ***** Actually, I hope you’re alive when you’re reading this, because the U.S. presidential election has likely come and gone. If you are reading this, the world has not ended. In the days leading up to the culmination of this absolute circus (and a gross one, not the good kind with acrobats and artistic directors), there are predictions of race riots, nasty voter suppression tactics, and potential impeachments (for either candidate). I mean really, I couldn’t list all the freakiness, and you’ve seen and heard it all anyway. As a wise SaskTel billboard once told me (this is a different column) “Deep breaths. It will be fine.” And it will be. The sun will rise and set regardless of who wins. I think. Deep breaths.

IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...BEWARE!
Dear Lianne I can’t believe I’m writing to you but I need to tell someone. I am professional, attractive, and I thought I was smart. I went online and thought I met an amazing man. We have talked extensively and he sent me pictures of his beautiful home. I was ready to get on a plane and visit him. He is having surgery and I wanted to help him. I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to bond. For
some reason, I asked for his address. I looked up his house and it doesn’t exist. So, all along this guy has been lying to me. I feel like such a fool. I want to hire you to do the work for me. I can not spend another winter alone. Please tell me how your clients are different from the online scammers. Dumb Blonde Dear Blonde, I am so sorry that you have had this
experience. It is a very common one when people date online. That voice in your head obviously was trying to warn you. Be thankful that you did not suffer physical or financial harm. At Camelot Introductions we meet with each and every client. Our clients pay just under 900.00 for our service. They are serious about finding love and are quite different from the online game players. We do a criminal record check on our
clients. We also will not tolerate the disrespectful dating style that is often acquired from online dating. Call me at 306 978-5683. We can talk and set up an appointment for an interview. I can’t guarantee that you will find love before winter but I can assure you that your experience will be much different than it has been online. I will be in Saskatoon November 22-25th. I look forward to speaking with you.
Lianne Tregobov Intuitive Matchmaker
I HAVE BEEN HAPPILY UNITING COUPLES FOR THE PAST 22 YEARS. I AM GIFTED WITH INTUITION THAT HAS SET CAMELOT INTRODUCTIONS APART FROM OTHERS.

And, the entire project is Saskatchewan-made, with the cover design by Shannon McLean of Alchemy Clothing and Salon. “She just did a beautiful job on them.
The entire project has been worked on here in Saskatchewan, so that’s even better for me.” Deitz’s new format has come a long way since the early 2000s, when she first started e-publishing by email. “I would send the episodes I wrote out via email . . . at first just to friends and family. Eventually it grew into 200 people,” she said. “Back then not many people had email . . . but there were people who wanted to read them so I was printing constantly on my computer. I thought, there has to be a company I can hire to print these for me,” she remembered. And so she did start printing. “The printer once said to me . . . now that you’re an author, and I (stopped him and) said ‘no, no, no, I’m not an author. That’s not what this is.’ “And he said, ‘that’s exactly what this is.’”

You want to be careful when cleaning the area not to scorch it. Place a single layer of brown paper on the wax area and move a warm iron over the wax. Move the paper around to soak up all the wax. Next sprinkle baking soda onto the wax stain and brush the area with a damp stiff brush to restore the nap. Handy Life Hacks: I use a piece of Silly Putty to clean the keyboard of my computer. While the computer is turned off, press Silly Putty onto keys, the dust and grime sticks to the putty and lifts it out. — Kristi I found a way to encourage my fiveyear-old to eat her peas. Start by softening a container of frozen yogurt or ice cream by placing it on the counter at room temperature for 15 minutes. Stir in a few chocolate chips and a few handfuls of frozen peas. Re-freeze the yogurt and eat. — Lawrence My facial skin seems much softer now that I use a banana mask once a week. Mash up a banana and spread it on your face. Leave for 10 minutes and rinse. — Mandy Fabulous Tips: Hairspray on Walls In reference to the woman who has trouble removing hairspray from her walls.

I use Lysol bath foam (Lysol Tub and Tile) to remove hairspray on walls. I also spray it on my hairbrushes before washing with soap. It works for me. — Marion Removing Bathtub Ring I made a small bag from old pantyhose and filled it with bits of hand soap. Dove or Ivory work like a charm. Additional use: My trucker neighbour uses soap/pantyhose to clean his windshield and headlights while on the road, and says it’s the very best. — Doreen Dryer Lint I too had a problem with dryer lint messing up my outdoor patio space. To solve it, I placed a one-gallon black plastic plant pot (with drainage holes) under the dryer vent and put a two to three inch layer of coarse gravel in the bottom of the pot. The lint gets trapped by the gravel and can be picked off, or just disposed of and replaced with fresh gravel. — Linda When Cereal Loses Crunch: Place cereal in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake four minutes at 425 degrees. Cool and store in airtight container. Also works for chips and crackers. I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming.

or validation from someone else over their egregious content. Expectations of courtesy and respect for others (of any gender, age, or race) seem to have gone spectacularly out of style. Of course, over time, the world changes and relaxation of the old rules is no surprise. When, for example, was the last time you heard “May I be excused from the table?” This was something I was taught as a child. Yet, it seems to me that kindness and consideration are always desirable traits in all of us whether we are young or old. Age does not really entitle anyone to unquestioned esteem. Esteem and regard are always earned through our own actions. Manners and basic courtesy are the lubricants that smooth the machinery of getting along with one another. What are we to do? I suppose the first

thing to do is to gaze inward and examine our own behaviour toward others. Are we always going Michelle Obama high when others go low? Can we be more self-aware about our words and deeds? Can we make the effort to improve? Secondly, we need to double down on our efforts to encourage our children and grandchildren to be kind and considerate, and to remember the golden rule about treating others as you would like to be treated yourself. We need to teach the habit of good manners — all the small and big things that make the world a better place — like saying “excuse me” or holding a door for the person arriving behind you. Finally, I think this timeless quote from Mary Wortley Montague says it all. “Civility costs nothing and buys everything.”

By RJ Currie ebMD.com has listed six potential causes of heart attack. Item No. 1 has me worried — the Cubs win the World Series. • Raptors star DeMar DeRozan, Sports Illustrated’s 46thranked NBA player, is averaging over 36 points a game. If this continues, SI might reluctantly bump him up to No. 45. • Taunting in the NFL is up 220 per cent. Or 440 per cent if you include what Richard Sherman says about Roger Goodell. • Mets prospect Tim Tebow missed two games after injuring a knee trying to steal a base. Probably a coincidence, but isn’t one of the commandments “Thou shalt not steal?” • Hear about the minorleague pitcher who split his pants in two places while throwing a 100-mph strike. I’m guessing it was a two-seam fastball. • The NY Post reports a college student drove into a police car while she was taking a topless selfie. On the bright side,
she set a speed record for going from zero-to-stupid. • Novak Djokovic lost in the Paris Masters quarter-finals, meaning his 122 straight weeks at No. 1 will end if Andy Murray makes the final. That’s no Djoke. • A new study says Americans forfeit $272 billion worth of vacation pay annually. Add another $171 million or so for the Cubs, who decided to work this fall. • From the “how bad have they been” files, a Sun comment on Winnipeg’s Blue Bombers: “They’re 4-5 at home this season, which isn’t great, but it sure beats the last few years.” • The Chicago Cubs, a rare team named after a baby animal, broke their championship drought. Can’t see this giving the NFL’s Browns any ideas. The Cleveland Beiges? • RJ’s Groaner of the Week A longshot I bet on had the lead in a Breeders’ Cup race. Sadly, it wasn’t furlong.

Wrights donate $1 million to Home Ice Campaign
long-time supporter of the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) and Huskie Athletics has made a major contribution to the fundraising campaign to build a new twin-ice facility on campus. The U of S announced last week that Wright Construction and the Wright family have contributed a $1-million gift in support of the Home Ice Campaign. The campaign seeks to raise $7 million to complete funding to build Merlis Belsher Place. Lorne Wright, a U of S commerce graduate and the president of Wright Construction Western Inc., said his business and his family are both proud to help out with the project. “I’ve always had a fondness for the Huskies — it dates back to my time at university,” Wright said in a news release. “It became apparent that this is a very important facility to our community and to our university and we wanted to make a commitment to it.” U of S president Peter Stoicheff said the university is also pleased to partner with Wright Construction to build the new facility. He said the Wright family has been working to improve campus for decades. “Wright Construction and the University of Saskatchewan have a long association going back to when Lorne’s grandfather — Sam Wright — built the first buildings on our campus more than 100 years ago. Since then, Wright Construction has been seen regularly on our campus. We are so pleased that Wright Construction and the Wright family are committed to improving our facilities, for student
athletes and our community, with this generous donation,” Stoicheff said in the release. Wright Construction and the Wright family — Lorne’s wife Lynne and siblings Jack, Don and Nancy — have been donating to the university and to Huskie Athletics since 2004. They have supported the Huskies Off the Leash Luncheon from its beginnings in 2009 as its title sponsor, because it funds scholarships for Huskie hockey players. The Wrights have also established numerous scholarship awards over the years, to support Huskie hockey and basketball athletes. The donation from Wright Construction and Wright family will provide a significant boost to the campaign to raise funds for the $41-million complex. It will replace the aging Rutherford Rink, which was built in 1929. “Although it’s been heroic, Rutherford is no longer appropriate for a university of our calibre, as a public facility. It needs to be replaced for the enjoyment of the students and the public as well,” Wright said. He noted his excitement that the university will be reserving a significant number of hours for the use of community hockey programming. “What I thought really took the project up a notch was the plan to build a second rink and bring the community in. The agreement with the Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association is so important, as their programs continue to grow.” To donate, or to learn more about the project, please visit: home-ice.ca.

N
ovember is Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Month. In Canada, one in 150 Canadians lives with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis – one of the highest rates of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the world. These chronic illnesses can cause life-threatening complications and debilitating symptoms, such as abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, fever, anemia, bleeding, fatigue, and joint pain. The number of new cases of Crohn’s disease in Canadian children has nearly doubled since 1995. Males and females are equally affected by IBD. While people can be diagnosed at any age, many are diagnosed by the age of 30. On Sunday, Nov. 13, the Saskatoon chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada will host its annual fall fundraiser at the Western Development Museum, located at 2610 Lorne Ave. South. The event, called Let’s Do Brunch!, will feature a craft sale and silent auction starting at 10 a.m. and a buffet brunch at 11 a.m. In addition, there will be door prizes, craft and vendor tables, live auctions, raffles, free admission to the museum’s Boomtown area, and more.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Views of the World Clearly, the Maple Leafs have been cursed TC Chong, on GM Theo Epstein guiding the Red Sox and Cubs to World Series wins, snapping the two longest droughts in major league baseball championship history: “In related news, the Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to hire him.” • Possible curses on the Leafs, who are about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their last Stanley Cup win: 1. The curse of Punch’s Hat after the Leafs fired Punch Imlach — their Stanley-Cup winning coach — in 1969; 2. The curse of the Doughnut, after the Leafs traded Tim Horton to the Rangers in 1970; 3. The curse of Harold Ballard’s Yellow Hair. • Torben Rolfsen, on Harvard suspending its men’s soccer team after players circulated a document online in which they rated the attractiveness of members of the women’s team: “Wait — isn’t that how Facebook started?” • Janice Hough, on David Ross becoming the oldest player ever to hit a home run in a Game 7 of the World Series: “His reported words after rounding the bases: ‘You punks get off my plate.’” • From Rolfsen: “I always enjoy Cam Newton’s crazy post-game outfits. Hey, Gord Downie wants his hat back.” • Have I mentioned how annoyed I am with TSN blackouts? • Bill Littlejohn, on the Cubs becoming the first team to win Series Games 6 and 7 on the road since the ‘79 Pirates: AS110718 Aaron
The Pirates song and motto was We Are Family; the Cubs’ should be We Are Finally.” • From Hough: “Are we expecting the Cubs to repeat in 2124?” • Chong, on a huge crowd gathering outside Wrigley Field in anticipation of their beloved Cubbies winning the World Series: “The crowd was so stunned when the Indians tied the game that nobody noticed the statue of Harry Carey was actually sweating.” • From Rolfsen: “The Cleveland Browns are 0-8, but the good news is they are in the driver’s seat to draft a disappointing QB at No. 1 overall.” • From Hough: “Tim Tebow, who is hitting .147 in the Arizona Fall League, apparently slightly injured his right knee trying to steal second base. Many sports fans were shocked that he ever got to first base.” • From Rolfsen: “Little known fact: Cubs catcher David Ross is club president Theo Epstein’s dad.” • Hough, on Santa Clara accusing the 49ers of breaching their contract with the city and threatening to take over management of Levi’s Stadium: “What, did the Niners promise to field a professional team?” • It’s great that we will get to see a Saskatchewan Rush game on Dec. 16 at the SaskTel Centre. The National Lacrosse League champions and the Sas-

Season-ticket holders have first dibs up until Nov. 14, with tickets being available for all to purchase after Nov. 15 at Ticketmaster and Co-op food and gas bars. • From @marccarig: “David Ross is the first Cub to homer in both the 1908 and 2016 World Series.” • Have I mentioned how annoyed I am when TSN shows the same event on four of its sports channels?
• Congratulations to Pat Barry, who is taking over the head-coaching duties with the Saskatoon Valkyries. • From Rolfsen: “Now that the Cubs have won the World Series, the new big sports drought is the Canucks scoring a goal.” • From Littlejohn: “Kevin Durant, on Russell Westbrook: ‘We are brothers.’ Yeah, so were Cain and Abel.” • Hough, on Eagles WR Josh Huff being released after being arrested last week: “He was allegedly speeding while in possession of a gun and marijuana. So is that the NFL arrest trifecta?”
