Global TV co-host Joelle Tomlinson: always on the fly Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express n one of the coldest days of the year, Joelle Tomlinson agrees to an interview downtown over a skinny vanilla latte. She suggests taking the photo outside on the Meewasin Valley Trail, where she regularly runs with her dog, Luna. Seems appropriate, and no big deal, she says. She runs in this weather. “Really?” asks this reporter. “Well, I’m in if you are.” Perhaps we’re both a little crazy. Tomlinson knows weather, and not just from experiencing the harsh blade of an icy Saskatoon afternoon. She is Global TV’s local morning co-host, which means she is also the weather-caster. At just 26, Tomlinson has already graduated from Ryerson University with a journalism degree, spent a year at the Saskatoon Express, and moved up the ranks at Global from the Breakfast Buzz girl to her new gig. Her story moves fast, no different from her runs on the trail.

Early days Born in Saskatoon, she was adopted at birth by Doug and Faye Tomlinson. “They also had another, adopted boy, Stefan. He was half-Jamaican, and I am half-African, so that was a big key factor in the birth mom picking that family. It was great,” said Tomlinson. She grew up in Meadowgreen and attended W.P. Bate School, which was then in some disrepair; but she loved it just the same. “As a kid, you don’t remember the negatives that way. I loved my teachers. I had awesome teachers there. I was really lucky. Then in Grade 5, I got transferred into the AcTel program at Caswell.” Her move into AcTel, which stands for academically talented, sprung from her early teachers noticing her creative side. “It’s funny to look at now, but I (would do) little book reports on the side, and I would hand them in to my father for grading, and then he would hand them to my teacher. My dad graded me on Amelia Earhart when I was in Grade 2. I just loved writing so much, and reading.” Despite loving school, she was also a bit bored; AcTel helped her develop her mind and her skills. “Grade 5 and 6 decided my career path, which is pretty lucky, considering it was that far back and I stuck to it,” she said. “I would write poetry on the desk, and then get in trouble, and have to erase my desk. I was doing graffiti, essentially,” added Tomlinson, with a laugh. Tomlinson then attended Bedford Road, and loved it, too. “It was a good four years. I got involved with BRIT (Bedford Road Invitational Tournament) and sports – I really focused on sports. I was always a hard pusher at academics, though, so I balanced the two out. My love was playing hockey and soccer. And music, as well. So a lot of different things.” “I heard a saying, that you are a reflection of the five people you spend the most time with. I heard it a couple of years ago, and really looked hard at who those five

It’s the age of citizen journalism, as well, which comes into the picture. She learned all Professional Choice about it at Ryerson. As she contemplated her life path, she was a bit torn “I had a class on Twitter,” remembered Tomlinson. “I between law and journalism, but ultimately, she chose the didn’t want to get a Twitter account . . . I thought it was latter. silly. You had to tweet so many times a day, and I thought, “I decided I wanted to go to Ryerson University.

We were able to develop new methodology in improving the measurement of gas exchange in the lungs.” From his time on campus, he gained a degree in engineering in 1972, a masters in 1974 and then the PhD in biomedical engineering in 1976. Graham was on the front lines in 1977 when Labour Canada made the call that grain elevator agents had to undergo lung tests and chest X-rays to determine how working conditions affected their health. “There were 1,800 elevators. We equipped an X-ray van from the Anti-TB League with lung function technology to complete the required lung health surveillance across the province. We also measured lung function in others, like farmers and mine workers, over the years.” The Saskatchewan Anti-Tuberculosis League was responsible for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of TB. At its peak in the late 1940s, there were 900 patients in three sanatoria at Fort San, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. Soon drugs became available and the intensity of TB cases lessened. In 1984, while Graham was working in Australia and New Zealand, Frank Froh, the previous Anti-TB League director, passed away and Graham was approached to take the position. Graham knew the league well, and thanks to the university allowing him to continue to teach and conduct research, he accepted the new challenge. What was considered short-term or part-time turned into 32 years in the office. Dr. Brian Graham retired after 32 years as chief executive officer of the Lung Association of Saskatchewan.

How big a mess will the U.S. be four years from now?

spent last week in a slightly-nauseated daze, anticipating Friday’s inauguration of then-president elect Donald Trump. Now, he is actually the president. POTUS. Leader of the free world. Unless, of course, something outrageous happened after press time. There is nothing I, nor anyone else, can do about it. The one thing Columnist that kept my spirits up, somewhat, were the celebrities and artists who declined to perform at the inauguration event. May I say here that celebrities who wade into politics and issues are often seen as unwanted, uninformed muckrakers, and unfortunately, that is sometimes true: but I would say equally often, they do use their visibility for the good, and if nothing else make points that should be part of the debate. Returning to the inauguration, some of the groups who agreed to be there had protestors in their midst: a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir resigned, and Radio City Rockette Phoebe Pearl apparently said on Instagram that she was “embarrassed and disappointed” to perform for Mr. Orange Head. Welsh singer Charlotte Church declined to perform, and used Trump’s favoured method of communication to zap him. “A simple Internet search would show I think you’re a tyrant,” she said on Twitter. One of the most moving turn-downs came from Rebecca Ferguson, probably best known for her role in the U.K. show The X Factor, and also a singer and songwriter. Having been asked to perform, she said she would if she could sing Strange Fruit, a song made famous by the great jazz singer JW012307 James

Joanne Paulson

Billie Holliday. The powerful and horrific song, about lynch mobs in the deep south, makes the blood of any reasonable human being freeze in his or her veins. Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Ferguson’s suggestion chills me to the bone. It terrifies me to think that as low as my opinion of Trump’s soul is, Ferguson’s is even lower. I wasn’t sure that was possible. Elton John, saying a Trump presidency makes him “fear for the world,” unsurprisingly also declined, as did Moby – with another caveat: he would perform if Trump released his tax returns as payment. (Zing.) A lot of A-list people will not support Trump, not even at the inauguration. They will not, nor will they be seen to, support him in the tiniest way. And, ever so slightly, this gives me hope. They did not capitulate once the awful election choice was made. I heard a group of women academics and journalists speak on another issue last week – that of Trump’s dismissive, disgusting and predatory view of my gender. They won’t give up. They are determined to keep working toward sanity and equality, despite the cards being stacked against them/us. Protests are planned for the day after the inauguration in Washington. Maybe, just maybe, if we hang together, we’ll make it through the next four years. The toxic and insane list of ideas put forward by Trump is daunting, to say the least. Reducing free trade. Building a wall along the Mexican border, to keep out the ‘rapists.’ Muslims unwelcome. A better relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin, for heaven’s sake. I mean, the man is a despot, and probably a murderer; and he felt it was his place to mess with the American election.

This is crazy. You can’t write a novel about this that people would believe, but here it is. But perhaps the thing that worries me the most is what is starting to look like an incompetent, incredibly ideological, inexperienced and frankly stupid cabinet. Maybe some of them have dementia. We have secretaries (in the ministry leadership sense, to be clear) unable to remember which files they are responsible for. We have others who are completely clueless about fundamental pieces of policy. How big a mess will the U.S. be four years from now? Meanwhile, businessperson and Dragon’s Den alumnus Kevin O’Leary has joined the 14-person Conservative race for party leader. Fourteen! Good luck to those who have to choose among them. It’s not amazing that O’Leary has come in with a “Let’s make Canada great” campaign approach. Sound familiar? Take off the “again” from Trump’s slogan and substitute America for Canada, and you’ve got it. I do not suggest O’Leary is as frightening as Trump; not at all. But this campaign, particularly with O’Leary, Kellie Leitch and Chris Alexander, is bouncing off the American election and no mistake. Alexander really worries me — he’s the candidate who did nothing when people at a rally started chanting “Lock Her Up” about Alberta Premier Rachel Notley. Leitch is also bizarre. (Be sure to read Ujjal Dosanjh’s open letter to her in the Huffington Post.) If we’re lucky, the party will go with the sane, personable and bilingual Andrew Scheer, Ottawa-born but a Saskatchewan MP. He has some right-ish beliefs that make me squirm, but he’s a saint compared to Trump or O’Leary. Still, regardless of who wins the Conservative race, no one is going to suggest singing Strange Fruit at his or her victory party. God help America.

Police officer goes beyond call of duty

(The following was posted on the Saskatoon Police Service Facebook page on Jan. 16. It has been edited for spelling and grammar.) ood morning, Saskatoon. I would like to give a big thanks to a Saskatoon police officer that was on shift Sunday night. Someone I care about has been having some rough times and happened to be in town sitting in a parking lot waiting for his doctor’s office to open. A police officer stopped by to make sure all was good, ran my friend’s licence and all the usual stuff. When he returned to the vehicle, this is what my friend said happened. “He brought me my card and my registration back and said, ‘You’re going to need to move’ and I said, ‘OK.’ Then he said, ‘Are you OK, you seem really emotional right now?’ I was sobbing, but told him I was fine. ‘You don’t seem fine, what’s going on?’ the officer asked. “I told him what I was dealing with and being out of meds for the last few days have made it really hard on me. He said, ‘step out of the car, please.’ I got out of the car and he said, ‘we are here to serve and you look like you need some love.’ “He gave me a big, sincere hug and told me I’ll be OK and I could stay as long as I needed!” The man who posted on Facebook said he was so moved by what the officer did for his friend that it brought him to tears. “I really want the police officer to know I’m very thankful he could be there for my friend when I couldn’t be. These are the kind of police officers we need in our society. Good job to SPS for showing you care about your citizens. Please help spread this story as it is truly heartwarming.” Consider it done.

Transit photo exhibit makes commute more fun Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express our daily commute may have become more artistic in recent weeks. Saskatoon Transit has once again partnered with a local gallery — PAVED Arts — to feature a photography exhibition on city buses. The Toon’s on Transit show includes a selection of 50 photos taken by local artists with various levels of photography experience. Alex Rogalski, executive director of PAVED Arts, said bus riders are taking notice of the mobile exhibition. “It’s fun, because when I ride the bus I notice there’s those that are sort of buried in their phones and those that aren’t. And those that aren’t, they’re looking around and their eyes gravitate up because automatically they know it’s not an ad trying to sell them something,” he said. “That’s kind of a welcome relief when you’re sort of barraged by advertising in public space — when you look up and realize it’s just a photo, and it gives you a way to look at the world. “I can see that reaction — and whether they talk to somebody about it on the bus that time, I know they’ve noticed it and I know it changes the way they’re looking out at their day a little bit. And that’s the real benefit as well, in that we’re sort of changing what people are expecting they’re going to see on their daily commute.” The photos first went on display for about eight weeks, from September to November 2016, on buses and at the Saskatoon airport. The bus exhibition was then extended into the new year and will likely continue into February 2017, said Rogalski. There were no specific guidelines for

the photographers to follow, which makes for a diverse exhibition. “We don’t ask for any theme. There’s not a style of photograph we’re looking for or any level of experience, and it’s absolutely free for people to participate,” Rogalski said. “So if they have a photo, and they can send it to us digitally, it goes to the jury — and the jury gets the rather difficult job of making those hard decisions of what’s in.” PAVED Arts, located on 20th Street West, is an artist-run centre focused on contemporary media arts. The PAVED acronym stands for photographic, audio, video, electronic and digital. The photography project has links to the building where PAVED Arts is housed: the former Toon’s Kitchen restaurant in Riversdale. PAVED wanted to find a way to honour the restaurant’s history, and a media gallery was created as a result to showcase Saskatoon artists’ videos. The Toon’s on Transit project has been described as a continuation of PAVED programming that highlights the work of local artists through outreach and exhibition. The Toon’s on Transit exhibition dates back to June 2015, when PAVED Arts, with support from the city, requested the work of Saskatoon-area photographers to be placed on the buses. Following an open call for submissions, 35 images were selected from 317 pictures. The second year of Toon’s on Transit has seen an expansion of the exhibition, with more photos on display on more buses, as well as at the airport. The current exhibition features 50 photographers — up from 35 in 2015 — and their work has been placed on 100 buses. Rogalski said organizers tried to “increase the

Photos from PAVED Arts are being featured on city buses. (Photo Supplied) frequency people might see” the pictures and “widen the exposure for the photographers taking part.” For the current exhibition, entrants were allowed to submit a maximum of three photos for consideration. More than 300 photographs were submitted, from which 50 were selected. “Every year we’re just sort of hoping that grows — that we can have more people submit and find a way to increase the number we select,” said Rogalski. A reception was held in September, which gave organizers the opportunity to meet the photographers. The artists’ backgrounds are varied. “It’s everything from high school students, whose parents didn’t even know their kids were taking pictures, to people who are 30-year veterans of photography,” Rogalski said. One photographer, who is originally from Pakistan, had only been in Saskatoon for three weeks when he saw the call

for submissions. He wanted to send in a photo, and it was selected for the exhibition. “Immediately upon moving to a brand new city — and a brand new country — he was able to get his artwork shown across it,” Rogalski said. “Those are things where all the real success is for us as an organization, because that’s what we wanted to achieve, is just giving artists an opportunity to share their work, to get paid for showing it and then build a community amongst them so that they can meet each other. “So it’s a very positive experience when you bring all these people together who may have just been taking photos on their own and never really had an opportunity to share them in a physical way. Everybody’s sharing now electronically, but this way there’s strangers on a bus who get to see something you took a picture of — and that may not happen otherwise.”

Tomlinson’s day begins at 4 a.m.

(Continued from page 1) he spent just over a year at the Express as reporter and photographer. “It was awesome; it was great. I had so much freedom, perfect for a girl just after university living at home, setting your own schedule, finding your own stories. “Cam was great. He let me write whatever my heart desired – with guidance. Because I was local, I was finding a lot of stories that maybe if he hired someone from out of town, they wouldn’t have developed.” Then Lisa Ford called. The Global TV station manager and news director told Tomlinson a position was coming up, and was she interested? “She remembered me, and gave me the head’s up. I applied, and got the job. I started out as the Breakfast Buzz girl for the morning show. I would bring up what’s trending, a topic that was hot in the news, and even debate it for four minutes with the hosts. “I moved up from there to live reporter, so out on scene every day live, and from there I just recently got promoted to co-host in June.” Tomlinson loves working with, and learning from, her co-host Lisa Dutton. “It’s funny, because she was one of my reporting idols when I was going to Ryerson. I always really liked her style . . . and she was the very first anchor to ever throw to a story of mine when I was interning. I remember getting goosebumps . . . I was 18. “Lisa Dutton doesn’t realize how much she influenced me without knowing me. It’s an honour to be working alongside her.” It has all been moving quickly, and Tomlinson didn’t expect it; but she credits her qualifications along with right place, right time. “Also taking in the people around you, and treating them well. Then they want you to succeed. I hope I look back on my career and everyone will say I treated them with respect, and worked hard.”

Early mornings, long days Tomlinson is up at about 3:45 a.m., arrives at the station at 4:30 on average, and hits the air running at 6 a.m., constantly updating until nine. “I’ve always been a morning person, but this is not a morning person, this is a middle-of-the-night person. People always ask, do you get used to it? And I wouldn’t say particularly that you get used to it, but you make the adjustments necessary, and you learn to kind of thrive with a little bit less sleep. I’m 26; I don’t want to be going to bed at 7 p.m. I try to adjust. “My friends like to joke about my naps, because I do nap in the afternoon. But I try to keep them to 20 to 40 minutes. I don’t want it to be a sleep; I want it to be a power nap. Then I need to get out and get going with my day.” The rest of her day is also packed. Tomlinson leads spinning classes at Ryde YXE several times a week, and runs regularly. She has even run a couple of ultra-mara-

thons – categorized as anything over 42 kilometres in length. Her longest was 86K. “It makes sense that I do this. I’ve always pushed really hard to see what I can do.” Into it all, she mixes being with friends – in person, not via text or Twitter, which is very important to her – and her boyfriend Brad Posehn, a local gym owner. Tragedy and strength Tomlinson is also trying to make a difference in another, heart-rending way. Her brother Stefan, who was 18 months her senior, died two years ago in a drug overdose. “He was a good kid. He didn’t really get into a bad scene until later – he would have been around 23, 24. “Our family had a good reputation. You can’t categorize the families this happens to. A lot of young men from the middle class to upper class families are addicts. “He had taken what he thought was oxycontin, but it was fentanyl, and he just popped it before he went to bed, and went to sleep and didn’t wake up. They tested the other pill beside his bed and if he had taken that one . . . “It was awful. I didn’t realize it had gotten to that point. You kind of feel invincible until something like that happens.” She got the call that he passed away on Feb. 28, 2015, from her father. “I can pretty much chalk that up to being the worst day of my life.” She collapsed physically, then immediately felt guilt. She was in serious shock, calling the TV station to say she couldn’t come in that day. Her managers were more than understanding, but Tomlinson saw later that she was trying to normalize the situation. However, the family has pulled together and is recovering, she said. “We decided to open up about it. I just want people to know the dangers associated with it. It is life-threatening; he didn’t know he was taking something life-threatening.” Tomlinson did interviews in the media, spoke at schools, and put it out there, noting that information and education are crucial weapons in combatting a serious drug problem. “Putting it out there is a lot stronger than keeping it in. I think I was worried about the stigma; now I don’t care about the stigma at all. It only made me stronger. “I don’t want him to be remembered that way. It was a very small part of his life.” Into the future Asked about how she sees her professional future develop, Tomlinson says she is not sure. In a way, that’s a freeing thing. “I don’t know where I will end up. I think there’s a kind of beauty in that, though. I was such a planner for so long that the thought of the unknown is kind of exciting. I know I won’t be doing weather my whole life; I know that. I’m so much more news-oriented than that. As long as it involves other people, and engagement, I’ll be happy. We’ll see.”

Even though core neighbourhoods had relatively easy access to the downtown library, it was determined that residents in those areas would be better served by a branch facility. In that vein, residents in the far quadrants of the city are unlikely to travel downtown to use the main library, but they do use branch outlets. In short, you don’t have to go to the downtown library; you can order books for pickup at a branch facility. So why do we need to have an elaborate building on high-cost land to store books and other materials to loan to the public? Why can’t the library arrange for lesscostly warehouse space to store duplicate materials and deliver the goods, when available and requested, to either the current downtown location or any branch library? I’ll go one step further and suggest that the library board work with the school boards to have library material delivered to schools for pickup. Pretty much every neighbourhood has at least one school, and every school has a library. Schools are always looking for ways to invite parents and the public into their realm and it seems like such an obvious win-win scenario. It needs only to be advertised that you can order your reading material online and pick up your books at whatever school you designate during whatever days and hours are preestablished. Does it mean that the library board would have to staff or pay the school system to have staff available for this pickup service? Absolutely, but it is far more convenient to users and substantially cheaper than building and maintaining a new $90-million-plus facility. The bonus might be that more residents will benefit from the library system. From the school’s perspective, when students see their parents and members

of the public using library services, it may pique their interest in reading and lifelong learning. Over the years I have been left with the impression that the library board wants a new building, inclusive of a coffee and gift shop much like those offered by the private bookstore giants Indigo, McNally Robinson and Chapters, together with more public meeting rooms. Why? If I were looking for a book to use as a gift I might go to such a business. If I want a specialty coffee or lunch with a friend, again I may go to those businesses boasting those amenities. But private sector businesses only offer those niceties to lure in customers who will spend money in the store while there for coffee or lunch. However, if I want a book for personal reading, I go to the library, read it and return it. If I am looking for books to take on a trip, I might download an eBook on an electronic device, exchange pocket novels with friends or buy them at a lower cost at Costco. The point is that public libraries do not need to compete with private sector bookstores. Publicly-funded libraries exist to loan educational/informational material to the taxpayers that fund them. Gone is the era of picturesque buildings in small park-like settings or a town squares. For those large cities that still have such structures, it is the historic nature of the building and/or architectural interest that would encourage its maintenance. But facilities are still necessary to serve residents without access to the Internet and for those who prefer to browse the library in person. What I hope the library board will focus its budget on is the adequate staffing of libraries, particularly the branch facilities, to improve service. We need books and services more so than buildings. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

SASKATOONEXPRESS - January 23-29, 2107 - Page 10 Flynn said simple things trigger her pain. “For me, it is the shower hitting my head in the wrong way or the wind and the cold outside,” she said. “I have to be extremely careful with the wind and the cold. The simplest breeze can set off an attack.” Having to bundle up to the point of having the left side of her face fully covered means she can no longer safely take those wonderful winter walks with her dogs. TN forced Flynn to take time off from her job and led to depression. “The scary thing is you never know when the attack is going to happen,” she said. “So you live a life in a little bit of fear because you know there is always going to be another attack, but you never know when it is going to be, how severe it is going to be and you never know how long it is going to last.” Flynn has had surgery that has helped her condition. “The procedure is basically a coping tool, but it doesn’t stop the pain. It helps me not feel as much of the pain, but it doesn’t stop the attacks from happening. They say a success is a reduction of 50 per cent (of the pain). “For me my normal pain used to be between five and eight on a scale of one to 10.

I was very sick; mine is from a virus. It started in my ear as an earache and it kept growing and growing. “I wasn’t able to work so I had to take time off work and try to get my life back together. I couldn’t focus enough on work because of medication.” She said it took a year to diagnose her condition. A couple of specialists missed it, she said. Her family doctor and a neurologist eventually pinpointed the problem. “I was in denial for a long time because that is not something I wanted to have. I wanted it to be something that could be fixed, not something I would have for the rest of my life.” Flynn is back at her job at the University of Saskatchewan. Returning to work came with a price. For one thing, she stopped using a drug because it made her drowsy. “For me, working was really important. I made the decision that it was more important to work which meant I had to deal AS012303 Aaron

with more pain.” Flynn has started a support group for people with TN. “I think there are a lot of people out there that suffer and don’t get the right doctor in their life to get them pointed in the right direction. I went to two specialists who basically said, ‘there is nothing wrong with you.’ Well, I knew there was something wrong with me so I kept pursuing it. I think there are a lot of people that (fall through the cracks). “I don’t think it is as rare as everybody thinks it is. I just think there are a lot of misdiagnosed people.” Flynn said she has attended a support group in Regina. “When you get into a group of people who have the same thing, you can open up and they understand where you are coming from and you can understand where they are coming from. It is such a nice feeling to know you are not alone in the struggle. “There was a group here years ago, but for whatever reason, it kind of fell off so we wanted to get it going again. It is such a helpful thing.” The next meeting for the Saskatoon support group will be held Feb. 11 at 1:30 p.m. at the W.A. Edwards Family Centre. For more information, contact Gail at 306-382-1578.

Graham led international project group

(Continued from page 3) ome patients take the drugs for six weeks, start feeling better and want to quit, and that’s where we succeed with our directly-observed therapy.” One of Graham’s greatest challenges was leading a Canadian team of doctors into Ecuador, from 1999 to 2008. He visited Ecuador three to five times a year, staying three to four weeks at a time, and the success rate was amazing. The Lung Association, newly named in 1987, still faces many challenges. “The constant worry is smoking. The percentage of Canadians who smoked when I first took office was 35 per cent. Now the percentage is down to 18 per cent. Again, we have to be alert. The lung gets the most assault from smoking. Lung cancer kills more people than any other form of cancer.” Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) creates the highest burden on hospital admissions and emergency departments. Asthma remains challenging and affects 100,000 people in the province. People with sleep apnea are benefitting from a laboratory, which hadn’t been available until the 1990s, as well as home-testing and the current SleepWell programming. Saskatchewan has shown leadership qualities and Graham takes pride that “we run a respiratory training and education course right out of Saskatchewan to train professionals how to educate patients to manage their disease. One pharmaceutical company once sent 120 people from the United States to take our four-day course on education and COPD management.” And just as his work was supposed to be winding down, Graham became the American choice as co-chair and

lead author among a dozen international experts in a project commissioned by the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society. The paper, which was two years in the making, was focussed on creating the new global standards for a test that measures the efficiency of the lungs to move oxygen from the air into the bloodstream. Graham presented at the European society’s World Congress in September and the paper was published this month. As Graham faced health issues over the years, he was able to borrow strength from his mother, Lee, in particular, and grandparents who had farmed in the Raymore district during the Depression days. “My father, Martin, died at the age of 35 when I was five years old. My mother was left to raise five children, all under the age of seven. We all learned the values of being able to make do and working hard. My mother was a school teacher and that made education a high priority in our home. We all came to university.” In his own case, Graham received some scholarships but worked part-time during the school year and worked fulltime in the summer. He and his wife, Jo-Ann, are nudging towards their 46th wedding anniversary, are the parents of three, Simon, Leanne and Gina, and proud grandparents of four. Graham has been a professor emeritus at the U of S since 2014. With his connections, he will stay in touch with American and European researchers. Close to home, he’ll usually be sporting a shirt with the new logo, BREATHE: the lung association and reciting the new mission statement of improving lung health one breath at a time.

Dear Reena, How can I remove sticker glue left on new jeans? — Jean Hi Jean, The easiest solution is to scrub the residue with an old toothbrush and rubbing alcohol. Dear Reena, I am looking for an easy and effective cleaning process for tile and grout. You have helped us in the Household past and I’m hoping you can do so Solutions again. — Linda Dear Linda, Get yourself a handy little piece of pumice stone. Pour some dish soap onto the pumice stone and wet it, then scrub the grout. Next, spray isopropyl alcohol onto the grout to prevent mildew from growing and discolouring the grout (keep away from small children). Another option is to make a paste of borax and water, and then scrub the grout with an old toothbrush.

Feedback from a Reader: Re: Stuck Jar Lid Karrie asked you about easy ways to open a stuck jar lid. A colleague of mine passed along this tip, which has rarely failed me. Place a wide rubber band (the kind mail carriers use or the ones that hold veggies like asparagus in bundles) around the lid and then try to unscrew it. Works almost every time! — Colette Re: Making cream puffs Making a perfect cream puff is definitely a work of art. Here are a few tricks to getting them perfect every time. After you stir the water, salt, butter and baking powder together, turn up the heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil. Turn the burner to low and dump the flour mixture in all at once, stirring it together with a wooden spoon. Once mixed, remove from heat. Let the dough cool for 20 minutes before adding the eggs one at a time.  The total time for beating each egg is about two minutes. Test your dough by lifting out a spoonful and dropping it on top of the rest of the dough. If it stays on top and maintains its shape, it’s ready to bake. If not, beat it some more. Drop the dough by large spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Don’t crowd the puffs. They should be at least three inches apart. If you want to make mini-puffs, drop small spoonfuls on sheets — 15 to each sheet. Without opening the oven to peek during baking, bake at 400 F for 20 to 25 minutes for large or 15 to 20 minutes for mini-puffs. Finished cream puffs should feel firm to the touch and appear golden brown. Remove the cream puffs from the oven and pierce the side of each one with the point of a sharp knife (to remove moisture from inside puff). This is not necessary for minipuffs. Cool puffs on a baking sheet, being careful to keep them away from drafts. Fill with something delicious like whipped cream, tuna, chocolate, coffee whipped cream, chicken salad, vanilla custard, salmon or crab mousse. Delicious!

It is just super interesting and super cool to see.” As a student at St. Thomas Elementary School, Olson remembers being in awe of the elite athletes he saw. “It was absolutely unreal, especially when they are like announcing where they are from and what they have done and been to the Olympics,” said Olson. “When they announced Canada, everyone would just start screaming and yelling and clapping for them even though we don’t really even know who they are because we are just so young and we had no idea what track is.” Olson will run in the 60-metre hurdles at this year’s K of C Games and possibly the 50- and 60-metre sprints. He recently recovered from a broken arm, so he is still working his way back into competition. The graduate of Holy Cross High School will compete in the games for a third time as an invitational athlete. Olson expects his appearance this year to feel like a full-circle moment. “It is definitely really weird being on the opposite side of it,” said Olson, who hopes to compete in the FISU Summer Universiade that runs Aug. 19 to 30 in Chinese Taipei. “Now, they are going to be announcing all my accomplishments and all these kids are going to be screaming at me instead of the other way around. “It is going to be really interesting, especially this year, to see what happens.” Nyame is finishing her final season of eligibility with the Huskies. At last year’s U Sports nationals, she won a bronze medal in the pentathlon and a silver medal in the weight throw. She is focusing on the 60-metre hurdles and 50- and 60-metre sprint races this season and will dabble in the long jump. Nyame will run hurdles and sprint races at the K of C Games. Born in South Africa, Nyame’s introduction to the K of C Games was as an

invitational athlete. “In my third year, I was asked to be in the invitational 60-metre hurdles,” said Nyame, who is five-foot-nine. “I think the year before that was the first I had ever heard of it. “When I was asked to be in it, I didn’t quite understand how much of a big deal it was. I was very new to track, and I just kind of started learning about the big names in track and field. After racing those girls, it was quite a rush.” The 22-year-old was blown away by how many youth athletes attend the K of C Games and was a bit awestruck at how much they were into cheering on the invitational athletes. “It is actually really kind of inspirational,” said Nyame. “I’ve never had so many younger kids look up to me like that. It is cool. It is really awesome to have kids like that getting excited about track and field.” She said it has also been a big help to compete against athletes who have gone to various events internationally. “It can be a little intimidating at first,” said Nyame. “I’ve learned over the past couple of years how to mentally prepare myself. I think I’ve definitely developed as an athlete in that aspect.” Nyame wants to use the K of C Games as a springboard into the rest of her season with the Huskies. She decided to focus on hurdles and sprints with hopes that will open other doors for her in the track world. “I would like to continue doing track for the next few years,” said Nyame. “Potentially making a national team would be really awesome. I will definitely be giving it a little more of a run in the next couple of years after Huskies.” Some of the other invitational athletes who are expected to attend the K of C Games include Andrew Riley, David Payne and twin sisters Kaila and Jade Barber. Riley, who represents Jamaica, won gold in the 110-metre hurdles at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, and placed 11th at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Payne is a 34-year-old veteran from the United States who won silver in the 110-metre hurdles at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Barber sisters are both sprint and hurdling specialists that compete out of the University of Notre Dame.

Love story started at service station Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express timing belt brought Amy and Karl Peters together. Amy Peters was having car troubles in 2002 and, on the recommendation of her grandfather, took it to a service station on Preston Avenue. Working at the business was one Karl Peters. We’ll let Amy take the story from here. “When I went to pick up my car after it was repaired, I had asked the service writer for a little more information on the repair job. Karl came out with a timing belt in his hands and explained the job. “At some point during the conversation he flashed me a smile and I recall thinking to myself, this is one handsome man. On my way out I inquired with one of his co-workers as to whether he was single or not. Turns out he was single and I asked him on a date. We were married eight years later.” The two now have three children and recently purchased Market Mall Auto Service. It’s not where it all began for the two, but it’s close. Amy says the timing might not have

been quite right for purchasing the longtime Saskatoon business, but it was looking like a now-or-never scenario. The owner of the auto service was retiring. Karl had worked as the head technician at the business for nine years so he knew it pretty much inside and out. He has been in the auto repair industry for almost 20 years. “We decided it was an opportunity that we didn’t want to pass up,” Amy said. “Because my husband had been working at that location as an employee for so many years, he knew the processes, he knew the work flow and was well respected by his co-workers. “So with him then stepping up to owner/manager, it went very smooth on that end. It was business as usual. We kept all the same staff because they know what they are doing. Some of the guys have been with that company for over 20 years.” Amy is a chartered professional accountant currently on maternity leave from her job with the federal government. She dove right into the books at the new business. She said Market Mall Auto Service has

(Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) a great reputation and a loyal group of customers. “There is a lot of goodwill with the customers because it is the place they have come and can trust. That’s the main key to success for us. What we saw in the business is that it has a great reputation, it does quality work and has been known for honesty. With my husband being the head technician, he’s well aware of that.” She said it is going well. “The first day we took over, my husband went to work and it was business as usual. For me, it’s been a lot of extra paperwork and things like that that we weren’t used to.” She said there is risk in buying a business. “It is risky because this is brand new

to us — being business owners and having that extra layer of responsibility and making large-picture decisions. So that is still new to us, but we had a solid base to start with.” For Karl, the business is located in the area where he grew up. “He was raised on Preston Avenue and his first job was a service station attendant at a local business on Preston Avenue. So I guess you could say he has worked in the industry in some capacity his whole adult life,” Amy said. Market Mall Auto Service is located at 2355 Preston Avenue South.

Saskatonian leaves Canada’s game to remove tattoo shame Ryan Bayda played 179 games in the National Hockey League. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Megan Fairbairn Saskatoon Express ad tattoos shouldn’t have to be a permanent stain on your skin — or your health. That’s the concept ex-National Hockey League player Ryan Bayda has brought to Saskatoon. The former Carolina Hurricanes leftwinger opened a health-conscious tattoo removal shop called Eliminare in early October. But as Bayda explains, even in his years spent carving up the ice, he was no stranger to the business world. “As a hockey player (you’re) very educated in running (yourself) as a business . . . I was the CEO of ‘Ryan Bayda Hockey Incorporated,’” he said. Playing primarily as a call-up player in the AHL forced Bayda to push forward and self-motivate, while always waiting for the call from the NHL.

AS012307 Aaron

“Some years (I’d play) 25 games; other years would be eight, so it was very spontaneous, but when you got that phone call, it was always nice. And back then, too, I was single and young and it wasn’t a big deal just to pack up and leave.” He ended up playing 179 games in the NHL, scoring 16 goals and recording 24 assists. After parting from North American hockey for a few seasons of job and family security in Germany’s professional league, Bayda began looking for an exit from his hockey career last winter. He and his wife decided to return to their hometown of Saskatoon, where Bayda used his self-developed business skills to open up a tattoo removal shop. The inspiration for this particular venture came from his years abroad.

“In hockey, there were so many guys getting tattoos when they moved away to go play in the Western Hockey League when they (were) 16 or 17 years old. Then when they’re 30 years old, that Tasmanian devil biting a hockey stick isn’t quite as cool anymore.” Bayda’s life-long interest in health led him to discover Tattoo Vanish, an American company that has been practising a unique all-natural ink removal method since 2008. “The way the tattoo industry has grown over the past 10 years, I thought there could be a better way to remove tattoos that’s healthier for your body than the traditional laser method,” Bayda said. The Vanish procedure uses tattooing equipment to open up the skin and lift the ink out, ensuring that no unwanted

TURNING TODAY’S SCRAP INTO TOMORROW’S RESOURCES

chemicals remain in the body. Bayda said traditional laser methods work in the exact opposite way, using harsh chemical compounds to break down the ink within the body, flushing it out through the bloodstream. “The government doesn’t monitor what’s in tattoo ink, so some tattoo inks could have lead, could have mercury, could have these heavy metals in them that are too heavy to flush through your body. So it can be toxic for you in that regard,” he said. The Vanish method is not only safer than laser, but is more comfortable as well, as most clients claim the procedure is less painful than when originally receiving the tattoo. It is also cost-effective, due to a fewer number of sessions needed for a full removal. While still relatively new, this method is currently being practised by more than 450 technicians in the United States alone. “It kind of really interested me, and nobody in Saskatoon was doing it, so I figured that there could be a market for this (here),” Bayda says. Despite only being open for two and a half months, Eliminare has received a great deal of interest and attracted a growing base of clientele, thanks to the company’s frequent giveaways and strong social media presence. “(By) getting my name out there, people will become aware of this method and if they want to get a tattoo removed, they now have options to consider,” Bayda said. During his first winter away from professional hockey, Bayda is focused on developing Eliminare and hopes to educate Saskatoon on this new, healthconscious way of erasing tattoo regret, one Tasmanian devil at a time. Eliminare is located at 219A 21st St. East, Saskatoon. To book a free consultation, call 306-241-2221 or email info@ eliminare.ca. For more information, visit www.eliminare.ca.

Views of the World

Johnny Manziel will sign for $99 • TC Chong, on Manziel’s plan to sign autographs in Houston before the Super Bowl: “He is charging US$99 to sign items people bring. So far no NFL teams plan to bring a contract.” • Torben Rolfsen, on the Los Angeles Chargers changing their logo three times in two days: “This has been the least popular re-branding since New Coke.” • From Bill Littlejohn: “Which hats will appear on the plaques of baseball’s newest Hall of Famers? Pfizer Pharmaceutical’s?” • Janice Hough, on the Ringling Bros. Circus closing after 146 years: “It’s because it couldn’t possibly compete with the daily circus in Washington.” • I’m happy Darian Durant got a threeyear deal with the Alouettes. And wouldn’t it be something if the Riders go into the season with Travis Lulay as one of their quarterbacks? And how about Kevin Glenn as his backup? • From Rolfsen: “Netflix’s new show A Series of Unfortunate Events goes behind the

DC012304 Darlene

scenes with the Vancouver Canucks at NHL draft lotteries.” • Hough, on Vladimir Putin defending Donald Trump against allegations he used Russian prostitutes, but adding “Ours are the best in the world:” “OK, I’m appalled. Where was the defence of the superiority of American workers from Trump on this one?” • From Conan O’Brien: “Donald Trump’s inauguration is expected to be the most costly in U.S. history. And that’s not even factoring in the money.” • Littlejohn, on Ben Roethlisberger having Tom Brady’s jersey hanging in his office: “Incredible. Roethlisberger has an office?” • From Rolfsen: “Trump’s inauguration had fewer stars than the Arizona Coyotes.” • From Chong: “Trump’s inaugural luncheon consisted of Maine lobster and Angus beef. The featured wines will be Californian. The brand of hairspray for the head table is a state secret.” • Hough, on Redskins owner Dan Snyder attending a gala pre-inaugural dinner in DC,

along with Trump, Pence and Kellyanne Conway: “He looked really happy. With Trump in the White House, Snyder is no longer the most hated man in town.” • From Rolfsen: “Tim Raines vs Joan Baez: there’s more rock in Cooperstown’s 2017 inductees than Cleveland’s.” • Trump says if his son-in-law Jared Kushner can’t bring peace to the Middle East, no one can. Here’s hoping Ivanka can find a cure for cancer. • Hough, on new reports that Trump invited Miss Hungary to his hotel room after attending the 2013 Miss Universe pageant: “Of course this could be a shameless fakenews attempt by Trump to curry favour with Bill Clinton.” • It must have hurt Jose Bautista’s big ego so badly to re-sign in Toronto. There is no denying the team needs him, but hopefully he will show some humility. • From Rolfsen: “The Trump inauguration was actually a battle of the bands to see who gets the Grey Cup halftime show this fall.”

Donald Trump (Wiki Photo) • Hough, on commissioner Adam Silver saying the NBA wants to shorten the length of games to keep fan interest: “Wouldn’t it make more sense to shorten the length of the season?” • The Toronto Maple Leafs are a playoffcalibre team. There, I said it.

This is what happens when you forget to take an antiIstomin. • A new survey ranks Winnipeg’s MTS Centre as the fifth-best venue in North America to watch sports. The only reason it didn’t finish first is the Jets play there. • Victoria Beckham told Vogue Magazine she regretted getting breast implants. Speaking of big boobs, Fox News announced a Super Bowl Sunday interview with Donald Trump. • An NFL analyst on ESPN suggested quarterback Tom Brady plateaued a few years ago.
