Sask. Coroner Dr. Barry Heath publishes book about his experiences

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express here were two things Dr. Barry Heath hoped he wouldn’t see when he was called to a site where a person or people had died. The retired Saskatoon coroner hoped he wouldn’t encounter someone he knew intimately. And he hoped he wouldn’t find deceased children, particularly those that had perished in a fire. During his 24-year career, Heath didn’t see the bodies of anyone he knew well. But he was at sites numerous times where children had died, including one involving a fire. Heath was called on June 28, 1990 to the scene of a burning apartment building on Avenue D South in Saskatoon. People trapped in the building were jumping off balconies into the arms of police officers, firefighters and bystanders. “It was an arson case,” Heath said. “The people who set the fire used lacquer thinner that they bought at a local hardware store to spread on the floors. Then they lit it and ran. These two kids were innocent bystanders. “With a lot of fires you read about children with matches and this certainly wasn’t the case. One was a year-and-a-half old and the other one was seven.” He said he was quite involved in the case. “Normally the coroner is there to see the bodies, make sure they get identified, make sure they get autopsied if you have to and make sure they get transported to a hospital. The coroner has control of a dead body. Police can’t touch a body; ambulance people can’t touch a body. The coroner doesn’t have to be there to do that; he can say it over the

I thought it was critical to see the situation under which they died. “They escorted me up into the building which was really tricky because we had collapsed staircases and everything else. They showed me the two bodies: the boy was on the living room floor and the infant was in the bedroom.” Heath recorded the position of the bodies and gave authorization to have them moved to St. Paul’s Hospital. He then asked for an autopsy. “We also have to write reports. ‘What did the person die of?’ Smoke inhalation was likely going to be the cause and that’s what

it was. Then you have to talk about the circumstances, so that’s where the coroner talks with the fire marshal and the police. This was an arson, so I put in my report ‘suspected murder’ because there had been no conviction yet.” There are five manners of death, Heath explained. They are natural, accidental, undetermined, suicide and murder. Heath talks about many of the hundreds and hundreds of scenes he attended in his new book, Saskatchewan Coroner. Heath became a coroner by chance in 1983 in Kindersley, where he was working as a veterinarian. The local coroner asked

him to be part of a six-person jury for an inquest into the 1982 death of a man in the oil patch. At the end of the inquest, Heath wrote seven or eight recommendations to change procedures so something like the accident wouldn’t happen again. “The coroner approached me after and said, ‘you seem to be keen on this process. Would you be interested in being a coroner?’ I said, ‘well, I don’t know anything about it to tell you the truth. ’ He said, ‘you’ll find out’ and that was kind of it. I never committed myself.” (Continued on page 7)

While recognizing a gradual decline in financial support, Porteous thinks Saskatoon is just starting to scratch the potential of downtown development. “My predecessor, Lloyd Isaak, has never really been credited for the work (he did) as project manager of both River Landing I and River Landing II. What a magnificent development is taking shape. Developer Kay Nasser’s condos sold out in four days. “As soon as we get 10,000 people living downtown, we will have a grocery store. Downtown will be a comfortable place at night with more eyes and ears on the streets. It will be a destination and we will have a tax base to support it all.” While the City of Saskatoon recently provided an additional $250,000 towards maintenance, enhancement and new construction, Porteous is quick to add that Meewasin is still attracting almost 50 per cent of its annual budget from non-governmental sources. Of the $100 million that Meewasin has invested in previous years, just $18 million has come from Saskatoon property taxes. The leveraging effect for Saskatoon has been five to one.

and it’s supposed to be taken up by 300 vendors owned by Chinese businesspeople. An agreement, says the CBC story, was reached between Brightenview and the GTH on Feb. 3, 2016. The hub was also touted to businesspeople in Beijing. The GTH’s vicepresident of business development, Rhonda Ekstrom, reportedly said that “Brightenview’s GTEC project is an ‘excellent business model’ that ‘combines the strength of the GTH with a powerful business platform that reduces the risk of doing business in North America.’” Well, first of all, this business model has not worked for Brightenview. Twice, in fact. And I would have to read a lot more to be persuaded that it could reduce the risk of doing business. Secondly, the really frightening thing about this is that the province of Saskatchewan does not appear to have done its due diligence on Brightenview before climbing into bed with it. Had they known that one of Brightenview’s founders, Mike Niu, is wanted by the Chinese government for loan fraud, would they have been so anxious to sign that GTH megamall deal? Brightenview says he’s no longer closely connected to the company; but Joe Zhou, CEO of Brightenview, was also once with Canmax, as late as the time when he announced the Dundurn mall. Brightenview, it seems, would build the malls and Canmax would help expedite immigration for Chinese people associated with them. But witnesses say Canmax has not fulfilled its promises. Will Brightenview, this time? This is bizarre. The Sask. Party government either didn’t look into this deeply enough, or decided to go ahead despite the red flags and the unbelievable optics. Either way, this could blow up on the party, along with the other GTH scandals, and indeed be the straw that breaks their thinning line of support. Even in 2020.

My uncle, George, who became a lieutenant-governor in Saskatchewan, was a Liberal. I’ve learned to respect all politicians and the tremendous value they give to democracy.” The bottom line is that Porteous, an educator for 30 years, came by his interest in Meewasin affairs honestly. He and his sisters, Julia and Marsha, grew up on a home on Saskatchewan Crescent East, not far from Five Corners, and almost directly across the South Saskatchewan River from where the MVA office now exists. He said the east side slumping banks of the river valley were a great childhood playground where his buddies were Neil Garvie, who once scored six touchdowns in a game for the Saskatoon Hilltops, and Billy Schaffel. He attended Victoria School and Nutana Collegiate. He was a wilderness camp director on the Churchill River system and a waterfront director at the famous Camp Wakonda settings at Lake Wakaw for the YMCA. He was also a smokejumper with the Saskatchewan Department of Natural Resources’ fire control. After getting two education degrees at the University of Saskatchewan, he embarked on a teaching career, becoming a vice-principal and principal at young ages — quite unusual within the public school system. He was invited by Dick Epp, a principal with photography

the next federal election. Will the province be successful in its suit? Probably not. Maybe it is just a delaying tactic by the province, hoping that the resource sectors will recover before the federal piper calls the tune. The big risk is having the federal government withhold equalization and transfer payments that may be due to the province. Adding to the court’s agenda is the legal action taken by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) for an injunction to stop the closure of the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC), claiming the Crown Corporations Act has not been followed. Some allege this is the government’s attempt to privatize rather than a shutting down of the company. Some have invoked the name of Tommy Douglas, who started STC more than 70 years ago, without realizing that most of today’s voters don’t know much about Douglas other than relating the name to a high school. At the time of this writing, the court has not ruled on the application, but should the court rule in favour of the ATU, I hope the judge also tells the government where it should get the $85 million it will need to operate STC over the next five years. Maybe the government should give the assets to the ATU and let it run STC. All this trails behind the recent court ruling on the funding for Catholic education, which changedJames nothing. When the time and JW052916

money is spent and all is done on these pending issues, nothing will have changed. We elect all these people to all levels of government to represent us, and I would like to think they could work together to our benefit. Apparently not. What causes these battles to start? Money, or lack thereof. Each level of government is busy over-spending on our behalf, creating debt and digging us deeper into a hole. When the money gets tight, the battle for the buck is on. The federal government is spending tens of billions of dollars it doesn’t have and expects this spending will generate more business, more jobs and more taxes. This theory has been tried in the past and failed. The provincial government lavishly spent during the good years, and now finds itself broke and scrambling for nickels and dimes. And the city did likewise. Who should we blame for all of this? Ourselves. We have demanded more from our governments and they have given in to our demands to shore up political support. Now we feel hard done by because the governments must claw back what they have given and/or increase our taxes. We are our own worst enemies. Now that blame has been evenly distributed, can we just stop playing the blame game and put our collective heads together and figure out how we are going to reasonably handle our financial woes in the future? ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Heath was quick to respond to the scene

(Continued from page 1) bout six months later a police officer phoned and told Heath he was now a register coroner. It was news to Heath, but he agreed to take the one-day training session in Saskatoon. “In those days it was a matter of one coroner suggesting somebody else be a coroner and the Minister of Justice just accepted it. What they do now is different. There is an online application form and they expect you to have an investigative background.” Heath is a veterinarian by trade, with diplomas in clinical pathology and epidemiology. He was also a remedial measures specialist with Transport Canada from 1987 to 2006. In that position, he responded to road and rail accidents involving dangerous goods from Ontario to British Columbia. Since 2008, Heath has served on the Automobile Injury Appeal Commission. A three-person panel gives those in an accident the opportunity to appeal benefits disagreements with SGI. Being a coroner was a part-time job for as many as 250 people in the province. He said among the traits coroners need to possess are being good liaisons with police and pathologists, and being sensitive to the family of the lost one. He said coroners also have to be willing to get up at two in the morning on a frigid night. Shortly after moving from Kindersley to Saskatoon, Heath had one of those early morning calls. “At that time they didn’t have a call schedule for coroners. The police just knew there were four coroners in town and the police would call one at random. “On this particular night in February, minus-40, my car wasn’t plugged in because I didn’t expect a call. I got a call about a motor vehicle accident on Whiteswan Drive and I live in Lakeview. A police officer phoned and said, ‘are you able to come out?’ I said ‘yes, but it might take me about half an hour if that’s OK?’ “There was this big long pause on the end of the phone and then he said, ‘if you can be here in half an hour, I will be really happy.’” Heath shot to the top of the list of go-to guys for his promptness. “The police officer came up to me after and said if you come out to these calls this fast we are going to call you a lot, because historically one or two of the other four coroners in Saskatoon would not come until 7 or 8 in the morning. And the police had to stand around a covered-up body, yellow taped-off area and divert traffic. “You know how stressful that is and how time consuming and how costly it is to the police department? Sometimes the ambulance people are left there on standby and people going to work in the morning are seeing this. So as a result of my quick attendance to this particular case, I had 87 calls that year and I wasn’t really listed as one of the four main coroners when I first moved to town.” Community coroners, such as Heath, were paid $135 for a two-hour call. There was another $25 available if the work took more time. He attended suicides, murders, motor vehicle accidents and unintentional poisonings, including a high-profile one in Saskatoon that led to new safety measures. The case involved two children dying of carbon monoxide poisoning in a home in the Wildwood area of the city in November, 1993. The children’s mother, Grace Swidzinski, and one of her daughters survived. “What they tried to do, as people did in those days, was try to conserve energy in the house: put plastic on the windows and vent the dryer into the house to keep heat in the house. Ultimate-

SUDOKU

ly what happened was the chimney collapsed from the moisture going up the chimney and freezing when it reached the attic. “They were using what was known as Class A chimneys in those days. They are disallowed now but there was no law at the time to change your chimney out if you had a Class A. The collapsed chimneys would cause the carbon monoxide to stay in the house.” After the deaths of two of her children, Swidzinski advocated for carbon monoxide detectors. She got the city involved as well as SaskEnergy and SaskPower. Heath said SaskPower added four temporary inspectors and they found 800 deficient chimneys. Stores ran out of CO detectors after an estimated 1,000 were sold after the tragic incident. A firefighter, Don Gabruch, said Swidzinski was a saint for what she did, especially considering what she lost. “That was really important in my life and really critical to the Saskatoon scene, you might say,” Heath said. Heath said being a coroner is not for everyone. He said his background as a veterinarian and veterinarian pathologist helped prepare him. “I don’t think any coroner would agree to be a coroner if he knew that’s what he would have to see — somebody who has been stabbed to death or whatever. They would say, ‘no, I can’t do that.’ When you do have a coroner’s schedule, you’re committed to go. You can’t take the call at 2 in the morning and say, ‘well, I don’t want to see blood so phone another coroner.’ It comes with the territory.” Heath’s book can be purchased by emailing him at coroner@ JW052901It isJames sasktel.net. also available in book stores.

THANK YOU SASKATCHEWAN Former STARS Patient Jessi Fredin

I was in my last semester of grade 12. I recently had applied to the paramedic program at Sask Polytech and was preparing myself for finals. The day of the accident I was driving to my farm to make my mom supper for her birthday. I was stopped on the highway because I was turning left and there was oncoming traffic. A truck rear-ended me going 110 km/h, and my vehicle flew about 60 feet forward into the ditch, a crumpled, barely recognizable heap of twisted steel and shattered glass. I had a bad head injury. STARS was called because the extent of my injuries was unknown. I have no memories of my accident or the helicopter, but when I started to remember the story my parents told me, I was amazed when they said STARS flew me. I plan to go to school this year to be a paramedic, and I hope to one day work for the organization that took such good care of me. I want to thank the people of Saskatchewan, and especially Lottery purchasers, for keeping people like me safe and STARS in the sky.

Yet along with the fact that nothing ever happens lies the point that your teacher, parent or police officer took some step, no matter how small, to change the trajectory of that person’s life. You may never even know what it was, and you’ll also never know the alternate outcome — and that is absolutely fantastic. If it sounds confusing, it isn’t: if anyone ever says anything to you about how they’d like to kill their partner, their friend, their ex, or anyone else that may or may not have grieved them, you absolutely must tell someone else who is in a position to intervene. Even if that person is angry, it doesn’t matter, because wouldn’t you rather be yelled at instead of having to sit in a courtroom in front of grieving parents and admit you could have done something, anything, to rewind their nightmare and then destroy the tape . . . but you didn’t? It will be one of the few times in your life that being wrong and/or being yelled at can be considered a victory.

ANY HOPE FOR AN OLD GUY LIKE ME?

Dear Lianne My wife died last June. She was everything to me. We were together for 53 years. She took sick and lived less than six weeks. She made me promise I would look for someone else. To tell you the truth I wish I could have gone with her. This life alone is tough. I feel so empty. I go for coffee every day just to be around people. My kids have their own lives and I don’t want them to worry about me. Tell me, I’m 78 years old I have had the man’s health problems so sex is not

possible. Are there any ladies out there for an old guy like me? You can put my name and my phone number in the paper. That’s okay with me. – Lloyd P. Dear Lloyd, I am so sorry for the loss of your wife. It is wonderful that you had 53 beautiful years with her. People are never too old to form new relationships.

As I grew, I fell flat on my face over and over again, most times influenced by a spiral of extreme addictions. Each time it happens, I run back to where I am accepted no matter what.

Saskatoon’s own One Bad Son makes it to No. 1

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express “I’ll make you, I’ll make you, love me.” —Raging Bull omebody certainly loves One Bad Son. More than one somebody. The Saskatoon band’s steaming first single, Raging Bull, from its upcoming album hit No. 1 on Canadian Billboard’s rock chart in early May. A week later, it returned to the top spot for two more weeks. The band members found out on the way home from Eastern Canada. “We did two and a half weeks in Ontario . . . it was Canadian Music Week out there,” said guitarist Adam Hicks in an interview sandwiched between a long night of album work and hitting the road to a Kelowna, B.C. festival. “We found out while we were out there we went No. 2, and we’ve never had anything past five. I was like, ‘oh maybe we can push this to No. 1.’” They crossed the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border late in the evening and heard the news. “We kind of get a preview of the upcoming week and they’re like, ‘it’s not announced yet AS052916 Aaron but you guys are No. 1 this week.’

It was a breath of fresh air when a big band like that were down to JW052910 James earth and genuinely nice guys.”

So, now One Bad Son is seeing some star action, too, the Express points out. “I want to be one of the nice ones,” said Hicks. “It’s hard not to be when you’re from Saskatoon, you know?” If you haven’t heard, One Bad Son is back.

Organizers hope to attract 10,000 people to the PotashCorp Children’s Festival of Saskatchewan. (Photo Supplied)

Children’s Festival moves to Kinsmen Park

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express fter nearly three decades in Kiwanis Park, the PotashCorp Children’s Festival of Saskatchewan is a moving to a new location. The annual festival – which is scheduled to run from June 3 to June 6 this year – will now be held in Kinsmen Park, said festival general manager Rachel Wormsbecher. “We are, for the first time in 29 years, moving location,” said Wormsbecher, who is excited about the change. She described Kinsmen Park as “better shaped for a festival” than Kiwanis Park. “Kiwanis Park is beautiful because there’s lots trees, but the trees kind of impede how we lay things out,” said Wormsbecher, noting the new festival site will be situated next to the popular children’s rides and attractions at PotashCorp Playland at Kinsmen Park, including the 20-metre-high Ferris wheel, the carousel, and the Canpotex Train. Wormsbecher said one of the festival’s three gates will be located directly next to the Playland, so people will be able to go back and forth between the children’s festival and the Playland area. “I think that’s going to be a great draw. So they can come watch a show, go on a ride, play in the splash pool, come back, watch a puppet show, play with some Lego. It’s just kind of doubled what we have to offer.” Wormsbecher hopes people enjoy the new festival site. She acknowledges that parking is “not great” in the area, “but it never was” easy to find parking to attend the festival. As a result, organizers are encouraging festival-goers to take public transit to the Kinsmen Park site or to cycle to the festival and use the bike valet services. Free city bus rides are also being offered to school groups that pre-book their trips. “I think the thing with parking is, if you park downtown and walk to Kiwanis Park, you can park downtown and walk to Kinsmen Park,” said Wormsbecher. “You think it’s father away; it’s really not. It’s practically downtown; it’s just across 25th (Street).” Wormsbecher is hoping about 10,000 people attend the children’s festival this year during its four-day run. Last year, the

One Bad Son to record new album this summer

(Continued from page 10) Hicks, front man Shane Volk, Kurt Dahl on rhythm (who is also president of SaskMusic and an entertainment lawyer), and Adam Grant on bass. “We knew we had record label interest out there and stuff, so we were like, let’s be proactive and show we have some determination here, and move toward them. It worked out good. We got signed to 604 out there. “We got everything set up out there. In the digital age, there are no more big meetings or anything; it’s all emails and phone. They said, ‘well, you guys are doing great you can move anywhere you want.’ So we were like, ‘let’s move back home.’ Plus we don’t have millions of dollars to buy a house in Vancouver,” said Hicks, laughing. “Saskatoon has a great music scene so we’re really happy to be here,” he said. “Whenever we’re not touring or recording we’re based here. We’re hanging out on Broadway getting a pint, going to the Bud’s jam, stuff like that. “We’re proud to be from Saskatoon and we tell everybody and no one’s ever had anything bad to say about this town, which they shouldn’t.” The night before, Gavin Brown, who has produced the likes of Three Days Grace,

was in Saskatoon working with One Bad Son on the new album. “It was kind of a late night, but that’s how rock ‘n roll goes. We’ve only actually recorded four songs so far, Raging Bull is obviously one of them, so Gavin is getting the rest of the songs ready with us,” said Hicks. The remainder of the album will be recorded in Toronto starting June 1; another single will be released in July, and the new album in September. “The summer is consisting of more festival dates,” said Hicks. “That’s what the summers are for; then we’ll probably do a Canadian tour when the album comes out in September. We actually have somewhat of a plan together.” One Bad Son was formed in 2004, right after Hicks graduated from high school, with Adam Grant joining later. The three original members lived together, and breathed and ate and dreamed music. “We all loved it and we thought we had lots of potential, so that’s when we moved to Vancouver and met some people out there who helped us out a lot – different bands and producers,” said Hicks. “It took us 13 years to get that No. 1. It’s not like we took the express elevator; we took the back stairs.”

One Bad Son is (left to right) Shane Volk, Adam Hicks, Kurt Dahl and Adam Grant. (Photo Supplied)

The No. 1 song has created a buzz among music journalists about its connection, or lack thereof, to the movie of the same name starring Robert De Niro. “The title was the last thing to come,” said Hicks. “We didn’t write it around that, at all. We paid homage to it in the video; Shane is doing the ghost boxing. Lyrically it’s not really connected, but energy-wise I would say it is. “The song is about having that feeling inside and you want to let it out, and you won’t let anything stop you.”

And One Bad Son will do it all from Saskatoon. “We’re prairie kids, Saskatoon kids and we love it,” said Hicks. “Nothing is going to change that. If we go No. 1 around the world, we’ll wear Saskatoon on our sleeve. You have to be grateful for what you have. Over 13 years, Saskatoon has been the core of our band,” he added, noting their families, wives and/or girlfriends are all here. “We feel like we’re just hitting our stride right now. It’s an exciting time. And I can’t wait to take all the fans on the ride with us.”

Project Lifesaver speeds up search and rescue time

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express askatoon will soon have a program that will knock hours off a typical search and rescue. Sadly, all those hours often lead to a search and recovery. Project Lifesaver, an international non-profit organization, can reduce search times from 12 hours to just 30 minutes in 95 per cent of cases. Saskatoon is just months away from having Project Lifesaver’s equipment available. The technology is especially important for people with Alzheimer’s, dementia and autism. “Across North America there have been over 3,200 successful searches for subjects enrolled in Project Lifesaver,” said Kent Orosz, a volunteer search manager with Saskatoon Search and Rescue. The generosity of the Saskatoon Police Service Foundation is providing Saskatoon Search and Rescue with the money to get the project going. “Right now we’re still in the preliminary stages,” said Orosz, who has been with Saskatoon Search and Rescue since 2008. “We haven’t purchased any equipment or taken any training yet, so we aren’t ready to enrol people in the program quite yet.

TA052218 Tammy

“We are hoping to be able to enrol people in the next six months, but there is all of the equipment to be purchased, training to be taken and policies and procedures to develop.” An enrolled person will wear a bracelet that transmits a radio signal. The bracelet will cost approximately $350. “And typically there is a monthly fee to provide batteries, monitoring services, home visits to check on the bracelets to make sure they’re working,” Orosz said. “We don’t know the details of those ongoing costs yet. “We are aware of the fact that families dealing with loved ones with Azheimer’s or autism often have low incomes. We are looking at mechanisms to provide these at either a reduced or cost-waived basis.” Orosz said the bracelets transmit a signal from approximately two kilometres away. With receivers, the searchers can zero in on the signal. Without the technology, finding people with Alzheimer’s and dementia often has an unhappy ending. “We always hope for the best but plan for the worst. We never really know what you are going to find when you are called, especially with a subject that has

Bracelets transmit a radio signal to help searchers locate missing people. (Photo Supplied) Alzheimer’s or dementia. They typically have low survivability, so quite often those subjects will die from exposure.” Reducing the search time from 12 hours to 30 minutes will save lives. “Project Lifesaver would help us determine a last-known position very quickly because if we are getting a radio signal, then we can go to that. Essentially the last-known position is where the radio signal is coming from.” In his career, Orosz is an environmental scientist. “Our volunteers come from very

diverse backgrounds. I don’t think any of us have the same type of career or come from the same backgrounds. “Most of us just have a desire to help and have found search and rescue is the right kind of organization to do that with.” He said there is a great feeling after a successful search. “Those are the days that make it all worthwhile.” For more information, visit saskatoonsearchandrescue.org.

Train Your Brain

ixty percent of North American adults say they are “somewhat worried” or “very worried” about memory loss. You might be among this majority. The good news is, there is something you can do about it. It’s obvious to most people that exercise helps to build a stronger, more resilient body. What many people DON’T realize is that the brain, too, can benefit from a consistent routine of focused movement. In the past, it was thought that a loss of brain cells was an irreversible condition. Numerous relatively recent studies have shown that a healthy lifestyle will support your brain health over the long haul, and can even encourage your brain to grow new neurons—a process known as neuroplasticity. The hippocampus, or brain memory center, is particularly adaptable and capable of growing new cells throughout your entire lifetime, even into your 90’s, provided you give it the tools to do so! For example, one year-long study found that adults who exercised were actually enlarging their brain’s memory center by one to two percent per year, where typically that center declines in size with age. According to Dr.John J. Ratey, the

JW052909 James

psychiatrist who wrote the book Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, there’s overwhelming evidence that exercise produces large cognitive gains and helps fight dementia. Indeed, research has shown that exercise helps protect your brain by: • Improving and increasing blood flow to your brain • Increasing production of nerve-protecting compounds • Improving development and survival of neurons • Altering the way damaging proteins reside inside your brain, which appears to slow the development of Alzheimer’s disease The type of exercise that will benefit your brain most is exactly the same as the one that will benefit the rest of your body. It’s a comprehensive workout that incorporates multiple components of fitness—strength, co-ordination, agility, endurance, power and balance. Research has also shown that participating in group exercise where there is an aspect of social connection, shows even greater benefits. So, get off the couch and go find a group sport or exercise program to join! Your body AND your brain will thank you!

Whale watching a highlight of trip to Sidney, B.C.

lifetime. We were asked to be at the office 20 to 30 minutes prior to departure to don flotation suits that were bulky but warm and water proof. They were very much needed when we got out on the open water. We boarded a 30-foot, walk-around vessel, equipped with hydrophones to listen to the whales, and built for wildlife viewing in the Salish Sea off the east coast of Victoria, B.C. Sidney is strategically located near the middle of the feeding grounds of orca whales. The pods, known as J, K, and L, number nearly 90 whales, but this varies and has been as low as 71. Whales love eating salmon – don’t we all? The salmon return to inland waters to spawn every summer and swim right by

We were told we might also see humpback, grey, mink and fin whales, as well as other wildlife including dolphins, porpoises, otters, sea lions, seals and eagles. On our trip, we saw otters, dolphins, seals, sea lions, eagles and lots of orcas. Sidney is also the gateway to the “top 10-rated best cruising grounds on the planet,” the Gulf and San Juan

Islands. The small islands just offshore are home to seal colonies and porpoise feeding grounds. Another plus was our friendly, knowledgeable and experienced guide. Not only were all our questions answered, but we were given a great deal of information about whales and the importance of conservation to protect these marvellous creatures. (Continued on page 17)

The captain on the boat knew the whales by name. (Photo Supplied)

(Continued from page 16) iller whales were widely feared just 30 years ago, but they are much better understood today. Because of pollution, overfishing and boat traffic, there is a growing concern for their future in this fragile marine environment. Studying killer whales in the wild is a very expensive undertaking and that is why the Vancouver Aquarium is asking people to adopt a whale to help with the expenses of whale research. Each whale has been identified with its scientific number, adoption name, gender and year of birth. Canadian scientists began compiling photographs of killer whales off southeast B.C. in 1973, using physical characteristics such as nicks, scars and the shape of the dorsal fins. With photo identification, scientists learn about the social system of killer whales and to construct detailed family trees for each pod. Continuing research will lead to a better understanding of their place in the ecosystem and the conservation measures needed to protect them. Resident killer whales specialize in hunting Chinook salmon, but in the fall they will eat chum as well. Three pods are small mother-led groups comprising three to 15 individuals, called matrilines. The males can live until age 55 and females 70 to 80 years. The females give birth to their first offspring at the age of 12, but are more likely to be 14 or 15 years

old. A pregnancy takes 17 months, and they may have a calf every three years. Pregnancy ceases at age 40. Calves nurse from their mothers for at least a year and often up to two or three years. Southern resident pods are seen in Haro Strait and the San Juan Islands from April to November. It was a great experience and we certainly saw lots of whales. Our captain knew exactly where to go to give us the greatest thrills. He recognized many of the whales and knew them by name. He was particularly thrilled to see Onyx, the oldest and largest bull whale with a sixfoot dorsal fin. We went east around Sidney Island, across the U.S. border into Haro Strait and along the north end of Henry Island, then south along the west coasts of Henry and San Juan Islands. There were nearly always three to five orcas to be observed, and some very near our boat. They are fascinating, majestic creatures worthy of freedom, admiration and respect. It was a wonderful experience. The Sidney Whale Watching Company has a 95 per cent sighting rate. If you fall into the five per cent, they offer you another tour, free of charge. For more information, call Sidney Whale Watching at 1-888-666-7599 or visit sidneywhalewatching.com. Tours are held between March and October. Doreen Kerby is a Saskatoon freelance writer.

Sugar can be hiding in plain sight

igh blood pressure is a big problem. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure. In Canada in 2014, slightly less than 18 percent of Canadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure. While such figures might be frightening, Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that there are some simple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure. • Opt for heart-healthy foods. Instead of foods that are high in sodium, eat a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Check labels before buying prepared foods at the grocery store, as many such foods are high in sodium.

AS052912 Aaron

• Look for foods that contain probiotics. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure. Probiotics are consumable live bacteria, and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing, researchers believe probiotics may produce chemicals that, when absorbed in the blood stream, may activate receptors in the blood vessels to lower blood pressure. • Lose weight. People with high blood pressure who are carrying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates extra weight can cause injury to the heart.

calorie intake should consist of sugars. This equates to approximately 30 grams per day. Children should have less - no more than 19 to 24 grams per day, depending on their ages. However, each day people are consuming more and more. For those who think avoiding a slice of cake or skipping soft drinks is enough, consider these somewhat hidden sources of sugar, according to the health experts at Prevention. • Barbecue sauce: Grilling time means foods laden with flavorful barbecue sauce. Many barbecue sauces contain up to 13 grams of sugar per two tablespoons. • Fruit-flavored yogurt: Eating yogurt can be a healthy part of a diet, but not when it is full of sugar. One container of fruit yogurt may contain up to 19 grams of sugar. • Granola bars: These convenient snacks can pack a sugary punch. One bar can boast 12 grams of sugar. • Salad dressing: Dousing healthy salads with dressing may increase caloric intake and sugar consumption. French, Russian and Thousand Island dressings, for example, often have high amounts of sugar per serving size - some as many as 9 to 10 grams per serving.

he healthcare community is increasingly pointing to sugar as one of the biggest contributors to the obesity epidemic that has affected North America. More so than fats, sugar may contribute to a number of conditions that affect overall health. The scary part is that sugar may be lurking in foods that people would not think of as “sugary.” The average American eats between 150 and 170 pounds of refined sugars per year, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Approximately 50 percent of U.S. adults drink one sugary beverage per day, and nearly 63 percent of children between the ages 2 and 19 consume at least one sugar-sweetened beverage per day according to a study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data from Statistics Canada states that Canadians consume roughly 110 grams of sugar each day. Sugar occurs naturally in various foods, but added sugar, sometimes refered to as “refined sugar,” is turning up in many places, increasing the average person’s sugar intake as a result. The World Health Organization’s official nutrition advisors state that only 5 percent of one’s daily

Has anyone seen this missing dog?

Sunny Days

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express f you live or drive around Saskatoon, you’ve probably seen them: bright neon pink, yellow and green poster board signs hammered onto street corners and sign posts, begging for information about Jennifer Yaholnitsky’s beloved missing dog, Peto. “It was just about nine years ago that Peto came into my life,” said Yaholnitsky, who is originally from Yorkton but recently relocated to Saskatoon from British Columbia. “His original family was moving somewhere that prohibits pets, and they initially took Peto to the local SPCA, but was told he’d inevitably be put down because he was not rehomeable after suffering severe neglect and abuse.” Yaholnitsky had never had a dog before, but her love for all animals meant she couldn’t see the little brown chihuahua meet such a wretched fate, so she took him in. “It didn’t take long for Peto to come into himself, in a safe and loving environment,” she reflected. “When we met, he was a dog that snapped when almost anyone reached out to pet him. Within a month or two, he became a social dog, still sketchy around men in ball caps, but phenomenal with myself and children — he stole my heart.” It was midnight on May 2, when Yaholnitsky’s nightmare began. She had taken Peto out for a short walk and came across one of Saskatoon’s many rabbits lounging in the grass. As soon as the dog and rabbit made eye contact, the rabbit took off, with Peto slipping out of his collar and blasting off in hot pursuit. “I quickly followed, calling out for him to come back, but by the time I got to the back of the apartment buildings, I had lost sight of him,” said Yaholnitsky, who lives near the corner of Preston Avenue and Louise Street. “After being together all this time, I know him pretty well, and I expected he’d putz around smelling stuff for maybe 10 or 15 minutes before coming back.” But after walking the streets all night looking for him, Yaholnitsky had to accept that Peto was missing. So, as Yaholnitsky waited for the Saskatoon SPCA to open for the day, she took to social media to begin her search, posting

Dog owner has gone to great lengths to try to find Peto. (Photo Supplied) everywhere she could on Facebook. A few tips came in but ultimately led nowhere. “Initially I thought that somebody nearby likely scooped him up into their home, so I was pretty confident that Peto would be returned to me within a day or two,” explained Yaholnitsky. “Over the next few days, I combed the neighbourhood, hanging lost dog flyers, knocking on doors, whatever I could do.” Yaholnitsky started putting up those eye-catching bright neon signs. Days became weeks, and still no Peto. Yaholnitsky began to suspect that somebody had taken Peto somewhere else, so she began offering a cash reward. She even went to see a psychic, who she says gave her a sense of encouragement and optimism by foretelling that Peto would one day find her again. “Everyone has been so encouraging and so supportive, I honestly don’t know how I could continue through this nightmarish fiasco without all of them,” said Yaholnitsky. “A lot of people have helped search for him, countless people have their eyes peeled and are watching out for him throughout the city.” Yaholnitsky says that she’s been walking from 10 to 20 kilometres per day, and is no longer able to sleep properly. “Hearing the odd story from someone who’s found their dog after having been gone four to six weeks helps me keep a shred of hope for the miracle I’ve been praying for. I just keep praying for a miracle and a happy ending to our story.” If you have any information on Peto’s whereabouts, please call or text Yaholnitsky at 780-887-9632, or email her at jane09186@me.com.

A TRIBUTE TO

Penguins could trade for a fairy tale line

• TC Chong has questions about United Airlines being in the running for naming rights for the new stadium in Los Angeles: “1. Will they overbook the seats? 2. Will they charge you an extra $25 to bring your purse? 3. Will aisle seats have a $25 surcharge? 4. Will seats between the 20 yard lines be considered business class? 5. Will Charger fans show up and try to drag their team back to San Diego?” • Torben Rolfsen, on the NFL loosening its rules and allowing elaborate touchdown celebrations: “The Browns and Rams asked if it’s OK on field goals.” • Janice Hough, on Ivanka Trump praising Saudis for progress on women’s rights: “That’s like praising the Kardashians for progress in educational television.” • People are happiest at 7:26 on Saturday night, research shows: I’m happiest on Saturday nights after a Leafs’ loss. • Toronto media people have come up with a new comparison: Matthews and Nylander will be the next Trottier and Bossy. It never ends. • Chong, on neither the Kentucky Derby nor Preakness winner being expected to run in the Belmont Stakes: “This is great news for an industry that is slowly dying.” • From Rolfsen: “Cloud Computing won the Preakness. Dead last was Free AOL CD.” • A website named CareerCast said being a newspaper reporter is the worst job out there. “Tell me about it,” said the guy covering the Montana election. • If Don Zimmer could talk from his grave, he’d say, “I know how you feel, son.” • Hough, on Colin Kaepernick getting a tryout in Seattle to be Russell Wilson’s backup: “The only plays they ran were passes from the one-yard line.”

• Former Blue Jays outfield prospect Anthony Gose is now pitching in the Tigers’ system. The left-hander’s first pitch was 99 mph. • From Winnipeg funny man Randy Turner: “Am I wrong to hope the Penguins acquire Martin Hanzel from the Wild just so they have a line featuring Hanzel and Guentzel?” • Hough, on Tim Tebow hitting his third home run of the year for the single-A Columbia Fireflies: “It’s a real shame he can’t hit against the Mets bullpen.” • From Stephen Colbert: “If Disney doesn’t add Donald Trump to the Hall of Presidents, they should at least add his hands to its A Small World.” • I’m thinking Trump has better elbows than Gordie Howe. • Hough, on Top Gun 2 being confirmed: “Now Maverick will be riding into the danger zone with his left blinker on.” • Chong, on founders of Baller Brand in Argentina considering filing a lawsuit against LaVar Ball’s Big Baller Brand running shoes: “Cincinnati may join in the suit, claiming both parties are infringing on their Bengal Bail Ball brand.” • From Rolfsen: “Going to be a lot of yellow in the NHL final. Donald Trump will like that.” • I am going to miss Carm Carteri on Roughrider broadcasts. It took me about 10 years to warm up to him, but at the end liked his passion for all things Riders. • From Hough: “Body-slamming someone annoying is OK now for a politician? So how do we start a worldwide GoFundMe page for Angela Merkel to slam Trump?” • Ringling Brothers has packed its tent after 146 years. Word is the Trump administration has hired the clowns.

Six figures and figure 8s

By RJ Currie ennifer Jones’s Manitoba curling team, Canadian champs just two years ago, played last week in Siberia. So imagine how far away Manitobans want to send the Blue Bombers. • The Ottawa Senators are now 0-6 all-time in Game 7s. Even my 1990 VW isn’t that bad in the clutch. • Canadian F1 rookie Lance Stroll says he crashed into the same corners at Monaco as he did in Play Station. Note to Lance: you can’t reboot trashed racecars. • The Lakers have hired Kim Kardashian’s personal trainer to be their strength coach. Don’t laugh; this relationship just might twerk. • Tom Brady is promoting an Aston Martin that starts at US$212,000. Yahoo Sports calls the price ridiculously expensive; Gisele Bundchen calls it chump change. • The Warriors and Cavaliers won their conference titles before Memorial Day weekend. If their championship series doesn’t go seven, it just might end before next Memorial Day. • Contestants from around the U.S. recently put their stinkiest foot forward in New York for the 42nd National Rotten Sneaker Contest. Or as it’s also known — Sole Survivor.

• Tim Tebow has a new baseball card. When you try to throw it in an open drawer, it overshoots it by six yards. • David Levin, hot air ballooning’s only Triple Crown winner, has died. Those attending the funeral were advised to look for the wicker casket. • My wife is upset with me. Sears send us an email about ladies apparel selling for a fifth of list price, so I said I like it when women’s clothing is 80 per cent off. • The NY Post said Mets pitcher Matt Harvey was dumped by supermodel Adriana Lima so she could re-connect with NFL receiver Julian Edelman. Darn Patriots — winning again. • I hear Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan’s divorce is getting nasty. He’s dismissed her claims as proof she’s out to lunge, while she said he’s behaving like a real axel. • Topps Company says their Tim Tebow baseball card will have a limited release.

Hotel guests can now wheel around Saskatoon

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

uests at downtown hotels can now experience the city’s sites and sounds on bikes. Each of the eight downtown hotels will have two bikes – a purple one and a black one – for guests to use at no cost. The program was initiated through discussions between hotel general managers and DTNYXE Downtown. “We’re always looking for ways to distinguish a stay in downtown Saskatoon from staying in a hotel in another part of the city,” DTNYXE executive director Brent Penner said. He said he has seen similar programs in other cities. “So we thought, ‘why not Saskatoon?’ We are located right on the dynamic side of the riverbank. We have a tremendous trail

Brent Penner, DTNYXE executive director, introduces a new bike program for downtown hotel guests. (Photo by Cam Hutchinson) system that goes right through our downtown.” He said there are places that aren’t easily accessible on foot for some people. “This will make it easier to hit up some of the places downtown or the farmers market or the University of Saskatchewan. For someone really venturous, they can bike all the way to Wanuskewin (Heritage Park) from downtown. It opens up some avenues

and allows something different for the hotels downtown to offer.” Todd Brandt, president and CEO of Tourism Saskatoon, saluted the hoteliers and downtown business group for initiating the program. “It really helps to support the destination and marketing it. We certainly commend the downtown group for putting this all together,” Brandt said. “Getting around at no

cost and getting some exercise and exploring our beautiful valley and trails and sites away from the river is now possible.” Penner said he is looking forward to seeing how the program is received. “We will take any lessons we learn this year and will try to strengthen the program for next year,” he said. Each bike will come equipped with a helmet and lock.

I was deeply moved by an act of kindness

Linda Gubbe for the Saskatoon Express was on the receiving end of a gift of kindness recently. Usually I am on the other side, trying to help wherever and whenever I can. We grew up that way. Never expect things, but be kind to others whenever possible. It reminded me of the time my siblings and I decided it was time that mom and dad had a new bed. We lost count of the number of times it had been repaired. The perfect opportunity came when they planned a trip to visit my brother who lived in another city. We could hardly get them out the door fast enough and proceeded to pull everything out of their bedroom, because, of course, you can’t have a new bed without new dressers. Finally it was all done. The new bed was made up with new sheets and a new comforter. Everything looked perfect. On the day they were due to return, we eagerly waited in the living room. Once they arrived, they of course came in to greet

DC052907 Darlene

us. The whole time they were being social, we were dying for them to go upstairs. Finally, Dad said good night. I’m sure we counted each step as he went up. There was dead silence. Then a quiet “Jackie” wafted down and mom went up to see what he wanted. They both came back down and returned to the living room, sitting down without saying a word. That was it. We started laughing. Mom told us later that when Dad called her, she thought it was because the dog threw up or something and she knew he wasn’t going to clean it up. It totally took both of them by surprise and it was the best surprise ever. It was an awesome feeling. Fast forward to last weekend. When I got the call from my son, who lives out of town, to come watch their dog while they went to a wedding in Calgary, I knew I needed to find someone to feed my two cats. When I asked my neighbour, she said no problem. She had already been helping me attempt to do something with my horrendous

backyard, so she was well aware of the amount of work it needed. I’ll be honest — my back yard was a disaster zone. As one who has MS, I have struggled to do yard work. Most of the time, the weeds grow to become nearly as tall as me. My yard has been seriously neglected for many years. On the day I was returning from dog sitting, my neighbour messaged me to askwhen I would be home. I thought nothing of it at the time, and she was there to greet me when I pulled up. Come look, she said, and steered me towards the back yard. My first thought was that she managed to at least get a handle on the weed situation. As I stepped into the backyard, it left me speechless — which, as those who know me will understand, is truly a feat in itself. There wasn’t a weed in sight, but plenty of happy tears. Two other neighbouring families had also pitched in. It was no easy task, of that I have no doubt. The two young girls had even painted my old birdhouse. The trees were trimmed, stepping stones laid, new flowering plants and grass

seed were ready to be planted once the water hose was repaired. Even a patch of potatoes was planted. For them to give so much of their time and hard work was, well, put any number of wonderful words here. Though I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised by my newly acquired peaceful retreat, I am not surprised that it came because of these families. I am very fortunate indeed to have them as neighbours and friends. We already have a wonderful caring little community in our area. Most everyone knows each other and at the very least waves when they see each other. We sit out on someone’s deck to chat about the week’s adventures, while the kids play on the crescent. In this world where tragedy is all too familiar and life in general is often difficult, these pockets of kindness and warmth are what keep us going. I look forward to my next opportunity to pay it forward. In the meantime, please excuse me while I grab my coffee. I see the others heading over to the neighbour’s deck.
