J

ean Morrison, the president and chief executive officer of St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon, has accepted an additional challenge in an effort to enhance the Catholic health ministry in Saskatchewan.

Since April 1, she has been president and CEO of Emmanuel Health Incorporated, designed to bring 12 not-forprofit, publicly-funded acute and long-term care facilities under a single governance

entity. St. Paul’s is one of the six hospitals, while St. Ann’s Senior Village and Samaritan Place are two of the care facilities under the jurisdiction.

The transition from 12 different facility boards to a single province-wide board is in step with what the Saskatchewan Health Authority has taken in establishing a single board governance.

“Although the governing structure has changed, the tran-

sition will not affect the great care we offer to our patients, residents and families,” she said.

“We want to maintain the identity and strengthen the system within Catholic health services. We want to streamline the system, yet stay in touch with our communities and the mission that has always been the foundation of how we provide care. ” Essential to the system will be assembling a provincial board of 22 volunteers drawn from the communities where there are Catholic facilities. “They are the ones who have a finger on the pulse of their

communities and we see them as ambassadors who can give us their voices and presence.”

Emmanuel Health remains under the ownership of the Bishops of Saskatchewan, who have been leaders in seeing trends, cultivating and sharing best practices, and holding onto the mission and values of the Catholic health ministry.

Morrison faces the role in a day “where the challenges include an aging population, chronic diseases, more issues with mental health and addictions, all of which are (Continued on page 6)

Among those who vacation in the area are Brad Pitt, Christie Brinkley and Eva Longoria. Fashion designer Donna Karan, Keith Richards and Bruce Willis have owned homes on the island. Or maybe Richards only thought he owned one.

Prince’s estate is valued at $12 million, with the auction having no opening bid.

Bids, accompanied by a $100,000 refundable registration fee, must be delivered by July 12.

Saskatoon was listed as a place to embrace Indigenous history.

No. 1 on the list is going underground in the Diefenbunker in Carp, Ont. It sounds like a pretty cool place, but we have a Diefenbunker Centre in Saskatoon and the Chief is buried here.

No. 2 on the list is conquering the CN Tower Edgewalk in Toronto. I don’t buy it, but whatever. I would like to conquer walking across the CPR train bridge.

No. 3 is gazing across the Ouiment Canyon in Pass Lake, Ontario. The canyon is in the Thunder Bay area “with knife-edge cliffs looming over a ravine so deep, dark and cold that plants think they’re growing in the Arctic.” This is no big deal; my street is dotted with canyons.

STARS flies to the rescue of injured woman Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express eptember 22, 2017 started as an ordinary day for Tami Willson and her Saskatoon family. Her husband Craig went to work and their children went to school.

Tami Willson was enjoying a day off and was going to celebrate her 40th birthday horseback riding with two of her closest friends. They decided to go to beautiful Nisbet Forest in the Duck Lake area.

Willson saddled up a horse named Jyp and off the three, and their horses went; enjoying the beauty of Saskatchewan on an overcast nine-degree day.

Willson, an experienced rider, had been on these trails many times. She described Jyp as being fairly fresh and a live-feeling horse, despite being 12 years old.

When the three riders reached a dip on the trail, Jyp bucked and bucked hard, throwing Willson to the ground. She hit her head and was knocked unconscious.

Through the recollections of others, Willson shared the events of Sept. 22, 2017 at the launch of the 2018 STARS lottery last week. In STARS terms, she is a VIP — very important patient. Willson knows she is also a lucky-to-be-alive person and is grateful to all of those who helped her that day.

Willson still doesn’t remember anything from an hour before her fall until about a week after. She struggled to regain her long-term memory as well.

“Even when my memory did start to come back, it was incredibly patchy and foggy and did not get better for quite some time,” she told a gathering at the lottery’s grand prize home in Greenbryre.

“While I remained unconscious my friends called 911,” she said.

Responders from Rosthern were first on the scene. They assessed Willson and transported her out of the area. Soon after, the STARS helicopter came into view.

Once she was in Royal University Hospital, she was placed in a trauma room in ER. “My flight nurses were still there by my side until it was OK to leave me.”

Willson’s voice cracked a number of times while she thanked all those who participated in her care.

“From my accident I did suffer a traumatic brain injury and had two bleeds on my brain. One was more substantial in size and was a serious concern, and fluid and pressure were building up in my brain.”

She spent a week at RUH and then three weeks as an in-patient at City Hospital for rehabilitation. She now goes to City Hospital once a week for rehab.

“I continue to recover from my brain injury and have made incredible improvement. Some things are a bit different for me than before. There are still a few things I am unable to do for now, but I know they will soon come.

accident and throughout my recovery I have received amazing and knowledgeable care from so many different medical professionals. I have received so many blessings during that uncertain time and STARS has definitely been one of those blessings.

“Words will never explain the gratitude my husband, our children, our families and I have for STARS. This past January I had the honour of meeting my flight crew,” she said, fighting back tears.

“I actually remember meeting them (this time),” she added with a laugh.

“Not only did my husband and I get to meet them but our kids did too. They all played a huge, incredible role in my well-being and my kids having a live and healthy mommy.

“For my whole family, STARS means a lot more now than it did before. Life can turn on a dime; it did in our family. It was just a regular day, definitely not something we could have predicted.

Having STARS there was huge for us.

Having that service is amazing; I can’t put words to it.”

She encourages people to support the lottery.

“The STARS lottery is not only exciting with great prizes; it plays a huge role in keeping our vital life-saving service alive and active in our province.”

Willson said she is going to ride again.

“I am not mad or upset at Jyp. Life happens, life can change, accidents happen.

“Will I ride him again? Maybe not.”

The lottery has 2,005 prizes, with the $1.5 million home the top one. In total, there are $4 million worth of prizes.

The 50-50 winner will likely take home $800,000. The early-bird prize is a truckboat combo valued at $160,000. The early-bird deadline is June 27, with the draw on July 12.

The final draws will be made on Aug. 2, with sales wrapping up on July 19. Fiftyfour per cent of tickets have been sold.

Pediatric brain tumour survivor co-ordinates walk Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express eather Poirier was given a 60 per cent chance for survival when she went in for brain surgery.

“I kind of want to hear the 90 (per cent),” she said with a laugh during a recent conversation.

Poirier was nine years old when she had surgery in 1998 to remove a tumour from her brain. It was the size of a baby gopher was how she described it.

“I had migraines for probably a couple of years before I was diagnosed, but they got really bad at the end. They would get so bad that I would actually vomit. I was (throwing up) every day, multiple times a day.

“And I would sleep all day long. For a nine-year-old kid it’s not really normal. I had weight loss and my eyes were actually getting bulgy.

“My brain tumour was on my brain stem so it was pushing on my brain; pushing my eyes kind of out,” she said with a laugh. “It’s not an attractive visual.”

She doesn’t recall missing any school.

Poirier was misdiagnosed a couple of times before she saw a doctor in Saskatoon. One led to two and soon she was taken to emergency. With the toll the tumour had taken on her body, she had a month to live.

“When they took the CT scan, it showed huge pools of brain fluid on either side of my brain, so that is probably where the vertigo came from. I had this brain fluid that was kind of stuck in pockets.”

She was prepped for what would be an eight-hour surgery.

Doctors feared the worst. It was likely cancerous, given its type of cells.

“They had no idea until after the surgery. They actually prepped me for chemo and all of that afterwards. Luckily I didn’t have to do any of that. They just had to shave half my head and I got to go home in a week.”

She was, in other words, cancer free.

A couple of months after surgery, she was out running around with other children.

She had regular CT scans until she was 18 and none since.

Her 30th birthday is quickly approaching.

She travelled extensively — living in Mexico for a year, Europe for three months and Brazil for three months.

“I have travelled to quite a few places in South America,” she said. “I love it and I speak Spanish, so I kind of wanted to do a lot. You know when you feel your time might be out and you try to fit in as much as possible.”

Six years ago she settled into family life. She is married and has three children. She and her husband farm south of Asquith. Poirier is establishing an orchard.

Poirier is the brain tumour walk co-ordinator for the Saskatoon walk, which will take place on June 3.

“People affected by brain tumours should never walk alone” is the slogan for walks across Canada. There are

an estimated 55,000 Canadians living with brain tumours.

“Every one of these people needs understanding of the extreme impact of a brain tumour,” Poirier said. “They are silent and sneaky thieves stealing personalities, livelihoods, abilities and ultimately, far too often, lives.”

The Saskatoon walk will start and end at the Archibald Arena. Walk lengths are 2.5 and five kilometres. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. on June 3. There will be a workshop before people hit the MVA Trail.

People are asked to register no later than a week before the event. Ways to register include visiting braintumourwalk.ca and selecting Saskatoon. The Saskatoon brain tumour walk is also on Facebook.

But he also pointed out that sex is important to men and their partners, and the lack of it, or knowing the ability is no longer there, causes other problems. What do you get, potentially? Depression, deterioration of general confidence, collapsing relationships, and perhaps even a negative effect on the prostate gland. All of that can be terrible in the extreme in all aspects of life.

Many studies have shown that frequent ejaculation is healthy for men, both from a prostate cancer reduction standpoint and from a dopamine and oxytocin release standpoint. Plus, after orgasm, a man’s prefrontal cortex more or less shuts down (leaving their lovers awake to watch for raptors and sabertoothed tigers. Not kidding. It’s an evolution thing.) It’s excellent for reducing stress.

Sleep well, gentlemen. Your happy partners are pleased to keep an eye out.

Indeed, I’m here without blushing to make the argument that safe, consensual, lovely sex with a person you trust/love/drool over is so important (for many if not most people) that all possible related elements to staying healthy enough to ‘do it’ should be covered by the province.

Our bodies are all of a piece: brain, heart, joints, organs, soft tissues, arteries and private parts. They interconnect in a miraculous but also easily-disrupted dance of life. They are directed by our souls, our delicate selfunderstandings, our joys and miseries, our pleasures and anxieties. Every part deserves care and attention, if only because every part affects every other one.

Still, where does health care funding begin and end? Having just spent a considerable sum on my teeth again, plus antibiotics, and likely facing a much larger investment in an implant (there’s that word again) to replace a molar, I think the system should absolutely pay for some of my high-level tooth woes (mostly a result of bad dental genes).

I’m looking, long term, at a small fortune here, and eating is pretty important to long life and health.

The province also provides little support to couples fighting infertility, and how fundamental is that — the ability to have a family?

We also pay at least part of the price for most drugs. It’s a complex argument in an environment of rising health care costs, and an aging population, even if Saskatchewan is a very young province.

(Continued from page 1) complex. But the technological advances have been tremendous. Our aim is competency throughout the system.”

“My role with St. Paul’s since 2009 has been the longest place I’ve ever been employed,” she said with a laugh. The story of her success has been contributing, step-by-step, better methods of delivering community health care.

She grew up in Resource, a small community near Melfort. Even after moving to Saskatoon, she didn’t have a plan for her future.

“I worked for two years at the Sherbrooke Community Centre, enjoyed working with the special care patients, and first saw nursing as a possibility. As a nursing student at the University of Saskatchewan, I continued to work in the summers at Sherbrooke and the Royal University Hospital,” said Morrison, who graduated in 1983.

She returned to work in Melfort in public health for three years.

“I always believed there was so much more to learn and I was attracted to Dalhousie University in Halifax to get

CT051421 Carol

my master’s degree. While I was there, a friend told me if I stayed a third year, I could also get a degree in health services administration. I came out of Dalhousie with the two degrees in 1989.”

Once back in Saskatchewan, she looked at nursing opportunities in Texas, another closer to home in Winnipeg, and another in the Central Arctic Health Region at Cambridge Bay, at the bottom end of Victoria Island and about 1,800 miles north of Humboldt.

“My husband and I moved there, our second and third children were born there, and we loved it. I could see myself staying one or two years, but we stayed for five and a half. The region was thinking about combining health and social services. At the same time, we had a young family and we saw a need to return to aging parents back in Saskatchewan.

“The environment in the North was different. Because there was nothing less than an hour or two from my location, I got to fly a lot, sometimes five to 10 days a month.

“I flew out one day in August when it was snowing. I’ve seen a Halloween where there

was no snow, another when the snow was hard as ice. In the winters, you went to work and came home in the dark. In the summers, there were only two hours of dusk and you’d have to put cardboard over the windows to get some darkness for sleeping.”

Cambridge Bay was a community of about 1,200 “and it was so hard to leave because we really got attached to the people.”

Back in Saskatchewan in 1995, she was hired by the Parkland Heath District in Spiritwood and she spent five and a half years there as a chief executive officer.

Returning to Saskatoon, she was vice-president of nursing for the Saskatoon Health Region, was vice-president on the clinical side and even took a turn as CEO after Jim Ferguson’s departure.

In 2009, the call came from St. Paul’s Hospital.

The hospital was founded in 1907, operated by the Grey Nuns until 1999 when its ownership was transferred to the Saskatoon Catholic Heatlh Corporation, now known as Emmanuel Care.

“When I arrived, I saw a faith-based facility which knew what its mission

was, and they knew how to work and stay within the mission,” said Morrison.

“There is a feel-good approach to everything, something strong about the staff collegiality, and when the public talks about our services, it is always about the staff and their hard work and commitment.

“We’re proud of the mission office, which knows exactly how to deliver compassionate care. We have a strong spiritual team as well. And we work within a hospital which believes in the historic things that have happened before us.

“We are a Catholic hospital but there are no limitations on the people we accept and treat, a philosophy which has never changed.”

During her travelling career, her husband, Ron, often worked at post offices.

The breadth of her travels is punctuated by where their children were born. Their daughter, Carly, now the assistant town administrator in Lashburn, was born in Halifax. Their daughter, Kelcie, now a pharmacist in the military, was born in Cambridge Bay. Their son, Gaelan, now a student in the Edwards School of Business, was born in Yellowknife.

Travel

Bolivia:

High and Unspoiled

Daniel Stephen Saskatoon Express A magical destination, Bolivia will leave you breathless with its unspoiled beauty and high altitude.

As one of South America’s best-kept secrets, Bolivia boasts a broad array of attractions. With ample time you can visit La Paz, which is the highest capital city in the world at 3,650 metres above sea level.

It has the world’s largest cable car.

Salar de Uyuni is home to the largest salt flats in the world — 10,582 square kilometres in size. Lake Titicaca is shared between Bolivia and Peru and sits 3,810 metres above sea level. A visit to the Amazon rain forest is very budget-friendly compared to Brazil.

Bolivia is a diverse vacation location where you can also learn Spanish for a few dollars a day.

I recently spent two weeks in Bolivia and found it to be a perfect travel destination for someone who wants to experience authentic South America and a more laidback lifestyle.

Interesting that I only met a couple of people from the United States and no one from Canada, but it’s a big travel destination for Europeans because of the inexpensive cost and great weather. I spent my time in two cities that are only 500 kilometres apart, but are completely different.

My first stop was in Santa Cruz, which is a large vibrant city of 1.5 million people.

It sits in the hot tropical lowlands and is only 416 metres above sea level. I was there in April and it was near 30 degrees every day. I have been told it has reliable warm weather year round.

It’s a fast-paced city and I recommend staying close to its centre as the city is setup with seven rings surrounding the centre.

By staying in the first ring most taxi rides will be in the $3 to $5 range and a lot of tourist locations will be within walking distance. I was able to find a newer condo within the first ring of the centre for $55 per night.

In Santa Cruz there are a number of upscale restaurants with my favourite being Chalet La Suise. The atmosphere and food were terrific. Chalet La Suise is as good as any North American five-star restaurant

with a meal for two and drinks slightly over $50.

A must visit for traditional food is La Casa Del Camba, where a meal will be about $15 per person. I usually started my days at Confetti, which is an amazing bakery that had the best coffee in Santa Cruz. You can stop in and have a coffee and something to eat for $8.

Plaza 24 sits in the heart of the city and is where I would spend a lot of nights taking in the atmosphere. It’s an energetic spot on Saturday night when the central core of the city becomes a festival. The park is filled with families and couples holding hands.

Any night of the week you can sit on a balcony and have a drink and enjoy the music and relax. If you want to escape the city and visit the unspoiled Amboro National Park, it’s only 40 kilometres away, with 812 species of birds and more than 2,500 species of plants.

My next stop was Sucre, the capital city of Bolivia which can be reached by flight for $30 through BOA Airlines, which were very professional and are highly recommended.

Sucre is a city the size of Saskatoon that is filled with sparkling white colonial buildings and has a pleasant year-round climate of 20 degrees. Being that it sits at 2,810 metres above sea level, you might experience altitude sickness so be ready with your coca leaves tea.

The architecture of the city is very unique and again this Bolivian city revolves around the centre of the city at Plaza 25 de Mayo where the stores, coffee shops and restaurants surround it. The best spot in the city for a view is La Recoleta which is a tranquil look-out point boasting some of the best panoramic views over Sucre and perfect for a romantic date.

The prices in Sucre for everything are the best I have experienced in Central and South America. You can take a taxi anywhere in the city for 75 cents or two people for a $1.50 — at night it will be a little more. Breakfast with real juice, coffee, toast, bacon and eggs will be $5 with my favourite place being Metro across from the Plaza.

Great places for supper are Berlin, Florin and La Posada, which has a courtyard setting and a meal and drink for two

Recoleta was established in 1601 overlooking Sucre.

Plaza 24 is situated in the heart of Santa Cruz. will be $30. A must is going to El Patio for a traditional lunch of salteñas, which are much like empanadas and you have your choice of a chicken or beef filling. If you enjoy afternoon tea you can visit Las Delicias for your tea fix with delicious Bolivian snacks.

Getting to Bolivia is easiest through Thetheir prepromo ads American Airlines with direct flight

from Toronto to Santa Cruz and only one stop in Miami. Another option is with Air Canada. It flies from Toronto to Santa Cruz via an over night stop in Lima Peru.

Bolivia is a highly recommended travel destination for someone who wants to experience authentic culture, learn Spanish and go somewhere unique. I plan to visit are 9.875” wide 5.2” deep full color.

Pride and Prejudice will run until May 27 at Persephone Theatre. (Photo Supplied)

The best in music, theatre and arts this week

Saskatoon regularly has heaps of musical, artistic and theatrical experiences from which to choose. With such an embarrassment of riches, it can be difficult to decide where to spend your time and your entertainment dollars.

I’ll try to help. On occasion, I will share my arts and entertainment recommendations in this space. Here are my picks for the week of May 14.

I work with historical process, such as tin type, and there’s a beautiful quality to the images – even the flaws in the process look interesting. That said, I enjoy contemporary digital processes as well. I have been working in photography for 25 years now and I’m excited to be continually learning new processes and techniques.”

The exhibition opened on May 12 and runs until June 21. The Gallery/art placement is located at 238 Third Ave. South and is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Following their Amigos gig, The Radiation Flowers will head to Calgary for the acclaimed Sled Island festival from June 20 to 24.

Eclectic new faire coming to Prairieland Park

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express n exciting experience for curious and creative people is coming to Saskatoon.

Husband-and-wife duo Kurtis and Valérie Wanner are producing the inaugural Saskatoon Mini Maker Faire, which will be held at Prairieland Park on May 26. The family-friendly festival will feature more than 50 hands-on activities that celebrate technology and engineering projects, arts, crafts and more.

Because interesting projects are often hidden away in garages, basements, barns and makerspaces, the event seeks to bring people’s hobbies and experiments out into the open. Attendees are encouraged to join a variety of artists, tinkerers, performers, inventors and others for a day of learning and exploring.

“It’s very eclectic,” said Valérie, who, along with Kurtis, is a graduate of the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan.

Anyone of any age can be a maker, and Saskatoon’s first maker faire celebrates the innovation and resourcefulness of the maker movement. The event is locally organized and operated under licence from Maker Media, Inc. The maker faire’s origins go back to 2006 in the San Francisco area, where the editors of Make: magazine started the project. Since then, it has grown into a worldwide network of events with the tagline “Maker Faire is the greatest show (and tell) on Earth.”

Kurtis and Valérie were inspired by Calgary’s maker faire, which they say has evolved over time. They want to see their festival become an annual event in Saskatoon, where makerspace already exists.

“We knew that the maker movement is something that Saskatoon is starting to dip their toes in,” said Valérie.

Saskatoon Mini Maker Faire’s presenting sponsors include Make: magazine and FingerTech Robotics, which

is Kurtis’ local design and manufacturing company that produces custom purpose-built electronics, mechanical parts, hardware and accessories for hobby robotics.

Robotics enthusiasts attending the maker faire will be in luck: the Saskatoon Combat Robotics Club will be at the event with Kilobots Robopalooza 2018, a two-versustwo gladiator-style tournament. Junk Yard Robotics will also be among the dozens of maker faire exhibitors, providing visitors with the opportunity to drive remote control vehicles. As well, the R2D2 Builder’s Club will have parts and a fully working droid on hand, while the Western Canadian Robotics Society will hold hands-on sessions enabling people ages 8 and up to build blinking robots.

Other topic areas and activities at the Saskatoon Mini Maker Faire include 3D printing, alternative energy, art and design, computers and mobile devices, drones, electric vehicles, electronics, gaming, flying and aeronautics, photography and video, rockets, cardboard fort building, T-shirt silkscreen printing and more.

Craft is another big focus of the event, with the Saskatchewan Craft Council set to present a series of demonstrations and hands-on craft activities throughout the day in partnership with local guilds and craftspeople, such as spinners and weavers, glassworkers, sculptors, woodworkers and others.

“Everyone should be able to try their hands at whatever the exhibit is,” said Valérie.

Although the maker faire will have a limited number of vendors selling products, the event is not a pop-up market; rather, the goal of the day is to inspire, inform, connect and grow the local maker community in the spirit of education, involvement and entertainment.

Saskatoon Mini Maker Faire runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 26 at Prairieland Park Hall C. Early bird tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for youth, while tickets

By Shannon Boklaschuk evin Bode wasn’t surprised when he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 14.

After all, two of his family members were already living with the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which can cause abdominal pain, cramping, gas, bloating, fatigue, frequent and urgent bowel movements, internal bleeding, unintended weight loss, fever, nausea, vomiting, anemia and other symptoms.

“Like anyone else with inflammatory bowel disease, my journey has been full of ups, downs, twists and turns,” said 23-year-old Bode, a recent University of Saskatchewan graduate who is originally from Moose Jaw. “Crohn’s disease runs in my family, as both my dad and my grandma have it. So, when I started showing familiar symptoms when I was 14, it seemed like the writing was on the wall. However, as others can attest, the diagnosis process is rarely a smooth one. After a CT scan, a rare side effect of Crohn’s was misinterpreted as a sign of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer. In the end it was not NonHodgkin’s lymphoma and I was officially diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

“After that, it took a couple of years of trial-and-error medication before my symptoms were brought under control. To this day, my medication keeps my symptoms relatively under control, but there are still bad days. You never know what food or stress is going to cause a flare-up.”

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis,

AS051409 Aaron

the two main forms of IBD, are autoimmune diseases that cause the body to attack itself, leading to inflammation of all or part of the gastrointestinal tract. More than 250,000 Canadians live with Crohn’s or colitis, for which there is currently no cure.

Bode will serve as the honorary chair for Saskatoon’s 2018 Gutsy Walk, a fivekilometre fundraising walk that will take place on June 3 at Meewasin Park. Registration is scheduled for noon, while the walk warm-up will start at 1:45 p.m. and the walk will begin at 2 p.m. Organized by the local chapter of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, Saskatoon’s Gutsy Walk has set a fundraising goal of $75,000.

Bode was pleased to be asked to serve as the honorary chair for the 23rd annual walk.

“If sharing my story through this platform allows me to help even one person who is struggling with inflammatory bowel disease, then it will have been worth it,” he said.

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is the only national, volunteer-based charity focused on finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the lives of the children and adults affected by the diseases. The organization is one of the top two health charity funders of Crohn’s and colitis research in the world, investing more than $100 million in research since 1974, leading to breakthroughs in genetics, gut microbes, inflammation and cell repair as well as laying the groundwork for new and better treatments.

In addition to the Saskatoon event, there

will be walks held in more than 60 locations across Canada on June 3. Since 1996, the Gutsy Walk has raised more than $35 million for research and patient programs.

Bode said people should take part in their local Gutsy Walk to support “the people in their life who struggle with inflammatory bowel disease.”

“Even if they do not know it, they probably know someone with IBD or will know someone at some point in their life with IBD. And, even if people don’t have a personal connection, it is still a great reason to spend time with some wonderful people, take a walk by the beautiful South Saskatchewan River and support a worthy cause,” he said.

38TH ANNIVERSARY

SALE

“My message to anyone struggling with IBD is to not be afraid; you are not alone.

There are times where it may seem like IBD will consume you, but things will get better. You can live a regular life with IBD, as long as you don’t live in fear of the disease. Through coming together at great events like the Gutsy Walk, we can help to find a cure.”

Recipes calibrated for large eggs

REENA NERBAS

Household Solutions

Dear Reena, When purchasing eggs for a baking recipe, does it matter what size eggs I use? — Randy Dear Randy, Great question. Most recipes are calibrated with large size eggs.

Extra hint: Eggs for baking should be at room temperature, so that the egg disperses better, making the batter lighter.

Bring eggs to room temperature quickly by soaking them in a bowl of warm water for five minutes.

Dear Reena, Taking baths according to the instructions on a box of baking soda is a relief to my often-itchy skin, especially from mosquito bites. However, I notice that my skin is getting whiter, and my freckles are fading. Is that a problem?

Is it good to apply it to my head, and rinse with water after washing my hair to ease my itchy scalp? Or is it dangerous?

Will it bleach my hair, which I do not want? — Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Baking soda has a mountain of uses: deodorizing, soothing insect bites, reducing dandruff, teeth whitening, microwave cleaning, silver cleaning, as well as effective and powerful scrubbing. Baking soda is a natural chemical compound and carries mild bleaching properties. Your hair has a good chance of lightening if you use baking soda for an extended period of time. I have not encountered any dangers of using baking soda for hair or skin. However, if you have any concerns, please consult your physician.

THE MOST REASSURING SOUND IN AN EMERGENCY IS THE ONE OUR HELICOPTER MAKES.

Dear Reena, Many of the jackets and suits that I buy are sold with an extra button. Apart from storing the button in the jacket pocket, do you have any suggestions as to how to organize apparel buttons without losing them? — Mandy Dear Mandy, One option is to sew the extra button onto the inside label of the garment. Some people tape the extra button onto the blank side of a business card and label it with which garment the button matches. Then they put the card in a book-style business card holder specifically for spare garment buttons.

Dear Reena, Do you think it’s necessary to change a furnace filter more than once each year? — Mike Dear Mike, Changing a furnace filter only once a year increases the odds of reducing the life of your furnace. It is good practice to change the filter every one to three months, and more often if you hold it up to the light and can’t see through it. It is recommended that homeowners change standard fiberglass filters monthly.

Dear Reena, What is the best way to clean a stainless-steel kitchen faucet? — Bradley Dear Bradley, Either wipe the faucet with a small amount of olive oil. Or cut a lemon in half, and wipe fixtures to remove hard water and rust marks. This method avoids using harsh chemicals and smells fresh.

Book provides pecking order for places to watch birds

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express lan Smith was 14 when he caught the bird-watching bug.

A Saskatoon teacher, Frank Roy, introduced him to the wonders of nature in 1963. The impression helped shape Smith’s future. He worked for the Canadian Wildlife Service for 40 years, has painted birds and has photographed them.

Smith is best known though for writing books about birding in Saskatchewan, including one — Best Places to Bird in the Prairies — that was recently released.

It is his fourth book.

Later this year, one written by Smith, Roy and Dr. Stuart Houston will be published. That’s 55 years after that first field trip.

Smith recalls seeing about 100 species on that May Day bird count all those years ago. Among the most memorable were a magnolia warbler near Leisureland and a golden crowned sparrow at the site of the old sanatorium.

“People don’t realize how many species of birds are in Saskatoon,” Smith said. “Probably over the years close to 300 species have been recorded in Saskatoon.”

He said the weir is a great spot for bird watching. He said a big reason is because the water stays open year-round. Holiday Park and Diefenbaker Park are also on his list of good locations for local birders.

Smith said he likes spotting interesting birds and then figuring out why they are where they are.

His first book was the Atlas of Saskatchewan Birds.

“It’s very large; kind of a technical volume, talking about the distribution of birds in the province.”

Smith, who was born and raised in Saskatoon and now lives in Avonlea, said climate change has had an effect on the distribution of birds. He said backyard

A

TA051405 Tammy

feeders have also changed patterns.

“Instead of going south they will stay at the bird feeder for the winter.”

He said there is a debate on whether winter feeders are a good thing.

“What you are doing is creating a dependence of that bird on the bird feeder. It is incumbent upon the person who feeds the bird to keep feeding them through the winter. Otherwise the bird could be in trouble.”

When it comes to the world of birds in this province, there aren’t many Smith hasn’t seen.

One that has eluded him is the willow ptarmigan.

“It’s quite common in the winter, but you have to go up north to see it . . .

That’s probably the most common bird in Saskatchewan that I haven’t seen because you have to be at the right place at the right time.”

In Best Places to Bird in the Prairies, Smith joins authors from Manitoba and Alberta. Each was asked to provide 12 spots for watching birds. Included are 43 photos and 39 maps.

“They are not necessarily the 12 best sites in Saskatchewan, but 12 sites I chose,” Smith said. “It’s a personal collection of sites. With 12 sites you are always going to leave out big areas. … I tried to focus on the ones I really knew a lot about and have personally visited.”

He said he tried to add humour and interesting stories so it’s “not a dry listing of birds. There are stories about things that happened to me when I was in these areas.

“One of the great joys of birding is when you go out, you have adventures; things happen.”

He recalled once being in the Hanley area for a Christmas bird count, and perhaps getting too close for comfort for the resident of a farm house.

“The landowner at their farm house saw us and phoned the cops.”

Alan Smith is one of the authors of Best Places to Bird in the Prairies.

(Photo by Randi Edmonds) The officer came along and said he was looking for a guy driving a white truck. Smith was driving a white truck.

“We told him what we were doing and he said, ‘OK, I’ll let the people know that you are just out bird watching and weren’t casing out the place to rob it.”

Smith said it is incumbent on birders to make sure they respect property of others.

He said bird watching is growing as a hobby.

“Baby boomers who are retiring are looking for things to do. It’s a great hobby because it is something you can do out your back window at the feeder or you can go to the tropics and see hundreds of species in a day.”

He said a person doesn’t have to spend thousands of dollars to enjoy it.

“Binoculars don’t have to be expensive. Two hundred dollars will get you a good pair.”

He said there are books and apps to help make the bird watching experience more enjoyable.

He said the Sibley Guide to Birds is a good one. He was too modest to mention

his book, Saskatchewan Birds, which is a bible for many local hobbyists.

Best Places to Bird in the Prairies (Greystone, 2018) is available online and at bookstores everywhere.

INTER-OFFICE AFFAIR AFFECTS MANY

Dear Lianne, I am deeply troubled by a turn of events in my workplace. There seems something untoward is indeed afoot. Some time ago a new gal appeared on the scene. Unqualified and unabashedly self-assured; this new woman has cast a spell on the boss. There is overt favouritism and unfairness. She is being given all of the good accounts and the rest of us are stuck with the unproductive

ones. Whenever I dare broach this with my boss; he is dismissive and gruff. I do suspect these 2 have something going outside office hours but it very difficult to prove. To top it off she is married. Do I tip off her husband?

Do I simply let things go? I am afraid I may be at risk of losing my job if I pursue my suspicions by speaking to the higher ups.

Anxious, paranoid and edgy; this

scenario is eating me up. I have no respect for my boss and find work agonizing. – Help Me! Dear Help Me, It is so important to enjoy your work. It is unhealthy to be agonized at work. Inter-office affairs usually affect far more than just the two having the affair. Absolutely, do not tell her husband as you are not certain and he is not your friend. Had it not been affecting you I would suggest turning

a blind eye and carrying on with your work. The fact that it is affecting your mental health and your paycheque is a completely different story. I would start looking for another job. Once you have a new position and have obtained a written letter of reference from your current employer, you can decide if you wish to tell upper management why you are leaving. You can’t change other people’s behaviour but you can change how you react to it.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Nudists at museum admire busts

T

By RJ Currie he Toronto Raptors fired coach Dwane Casey two days after he was named NBA coach of the year. It’s the fastest fall from grace for a Casey since the Mudville nine.

• Nashville may be Music City, but it was the Winnipeg Jets leaving there on a high note.

• Canadian James Paxton of the Mariners pitched a no-hitter against the Jays in Toronto. O no-no Canada!

• TSN hockey analysts have alternately called Winnipeg winger Blake Wheeler the engine, the heart, or the soul of the team. How about the “Wheels” the Jets takeoff from?

• Question for Forbes, who recently said “having LeBron James own a team one day is a slam-dunk.” You mean besides the Raptors?

• Starters and relievers in the recent Jays-Indians doubleheader combined for 741 throws. I worked in advertising for 10 years and saw fewer pitches.

• BC Lions coach Wally Buono, 68, said he’ll be “more reckless” on the sidelines. Not saying the guy is conservative, but reckless to him is pacing while carrying scissors.

• According to Yahoo! Sports, the nickname among China’s NBA fans for Warriors guard Stephan Curry is F**k The Sky. And we can probably rule out fork.

• Reuters reports a Paris museum is offering special viewing hours to ‘naturists.’ Nudes taking in nudes? Busts before busts? Art-wise I’m not sure how to frame it.

• Analytics say a 25-35 degree launch angle with an exit velocity of 95+ mph is a homer. Tell yourself that while dislocating a shoulder chasing a Clayton Kershaw curveball in the dirt.

•The Bruins lost in five to the Lightning, but not before Brad Marchand got in his licks.

• I just heard a Winnipeg Jet say they need to take the Las Vegas series one day at a time. Shouldn’t that be one Knight at a time?

• Rita Moreno said this week that compared to Marlon Brando, Elvis Presley was like “a two-year-old in bed.” Note to Moreno: Don’t be cruel.

• Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki insists he hasn’t decided to retire, he’s just not playing baseball this year. “Way ahead of you,” said the Baltimore Orioles.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week In Game 7 of the Winnipeg-Nashville playoff series, two early soft goals by the Jets had the Predators in trouble. A Pekka trouble.

Views of the World

It wasn’t a good week for Toronto

T

C Chong, on Boston Bruins’ Brad Marchand admitting he went too far and is now apologizing for his licking incidents during the playoffs: “Marchand said he saw the light when he came home after the game and both his dog and cat ran off and hid.”

• From Janice Hough: “A difference between Canadian and U.S. hockey fans — at least Canadian fans can find Winnipeg on a map?”

• Torben Rolfsen, on an 87-year-old woman graduating from the University of Alabama: “That’s still faster progress than its football players.”

• From Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette: “So the Leafs are bounced in the first round, the Raptors pull an epic choke after Drake makes an ass of himself, and the Jays get no-hit the night Stroman pitches. This Toronto 24/7 thing is entertaining.”

• From Chong: “Can someone go into Wikipedia and change the owner of the Toronto Raptors to LeBron James?”

• The Winnipeg Jets defeated Nashville in Game 7, and one sports broadcaster used a clip of Pekka Rinne talking about how he let his team down.

Really?

• From Hough: “Wait a minute; all three Americans freed by North Korea were originally immigrants to the U.S. Does that mean Trump will soon be sending them back?”

• Rolfsen, on Albert Pujols getting his 3,000th hit: “Why do my nieces laugh when they hear his last name?”

• I’m usually happy when a player reaches a milestone in any sport. That’s not the case with Pujols. A writer who followed Pujol’s career says big Albert is the second nastiest person he ever covered. (Some radio guys would end the story here.) Topping the list is Barry Bonds.

• The Globe and Mail won six national newspaper awards, and the Toronto Star won four. Postmedia, which owns at least 12 dailies, won four, but Paul Godfrey remains committed to good journalism.

• From the twitter account of @Krista_B_85: “32-year-old Kyle Dubas was just named Leafs GM, and I’m just over here, same age, still piggybacking off my mom’s Costco card.”

• Forgettable Leafs general managers: Bill Watters, Ken Dryden, Gord Stellick and John Ferguson Jr. • Rolfsen, on Cristiano Ronaldo injuring his ankle scoring in the first half of El Clasico: “It’s believed he slipped because he was wearing too much coconut oil.”

• From Hough: “I’m thinking not even Pete Rose would have bet on an expansion NHL team reaching the Western Conference final.”

• Chong, on ailing John McCain saying he does not want Donald Trump to attend his funeral: “Look for Trump’s upcoming Tweet: ‘He’s not invited to my funeral either. If anyone is gonna p--s on my grave, it will be Russian hookers.’”

• A Florida woman was arrested for stalking after sending a man 65,000 texts, breaking into his home and taking a bath. “When you’re finding love, everything is not perfect,” she said from jail.

“This is a journey.” No punchline needed.

• From Rolfsen: “Justify won the Kentucky Derby, and his trainer, Bob Baffert, called him one of his best ever – right before putting him up on eBay.” • Jack Todd, on the Raptors firing coach Dwane Casey: “The Raptors are complete and utter idiots.

If they think a new coach is going to give Lowry and DeRozan some big-game guts, they’re in for an awful surprise.”

• From Hough: “Las Vegas Golden Knights and Tampa Bay Lightning should both do well with playoff ticket sales. As we get into mid- May, I’m guessing people in both cities will pay well for a chance to spend three hours inside out of 30-plus degree weather.”

• From Rolfsen: “By the end of the RaptorsCavs series, the score looked like a blood pressure reading.”

screen display is standard. Any information presented to the driver, be it engine rpm or fuel level, is electronically produced. The displays may take the traditional form of analog gauges, but there isn’t an individual gauge in the bunch. It is so well done that you just don’t notice at first. A second screen of the same size is optional.

Once all that was out of the way, our weather made sure that the 4Matic system got a work out, mostly just getting off my street. Mercedes has worked on the system long enough that its operation is seamless.

I could never tell for sure when it was active and when the E 300 was just a normal luxury car. 4Matic continues to adjust to different traction levels whenever it senses them. A good example would be going around a corner that has a bit of sand and ice on it. The system detects wheel slippage and responds to keep that wheel from slipping in less than one rotation of the wheel.

In the E 300, a steel suspension is

AS051406 Aaron

standard. There is an optional air suspension, but ordering that moves you up to the E 400 which is a significant leap up from the E 300.

Engineers have done an excellent job of integrating the independent suspension and shock control (called jounce and rebound) with 4Matic. This level of control helps handling take the leap forward in ride quality that we expect from a luxury car. Most drivers will only notice improvements in the ride quality and not in overall handling. This happens simply because the limits of the car are so far above what we encounter in day-to-day driving.

Power for the E 300 comes from a turbocharged four that has a slight bit of turbo lag and a long throttle tip in. This makes those luxuriously smooth starts look easy. Done properly such a start will not spill a glass of water — until you hit the first pothole in the intersection, then all bets are off.

When you become accustomed to the throttle and put your food down, things happen. The 241 hp (and 273 ft. lb. of torque) four will get you up to 100 kph in 6.4 seconds. In true luxury style, power delivery is so smooth you never realize how quickly you get going unless you watch the speedometer.

Cornering in a luxury car is also a bit different than in your average set of wheels. Body sway and control are considerably higher in the luxury car and the seat’s ability to coddle you while cornering is also high. The end product is a vehicle that you comfortably take around corners at speeds 20 to 30 kph higher than you would normally.

If you keep pushing on any surface, the front will eventually push out. If you turn the stability and traction control programs off and you work at it the tail will come out. Mind you the roll mitigation program is still active so you can only do so many stupid things before you get brought back into line (literally).

New Mercedes owners can get in touch with their dealer and sign up for the Mercedes Benz winter driving school that is held in Gimli, Manitoba. It is well worth taking and will give you a new respect for your car.
