Sanctum:

A refuge for homeless HIV/AIDS patients Katelyn Roberts and Dr. Morris Markentin founded Sanctum. Now Sanctum 1.5 is being constructed near St. Paul’s Hospital. (Photo by Joanne Paulson) Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express atelyn Roberts remembers the first HIV-positive woman she encountered when she was a social worker in child protection. The woman, 27, had children in care and all her file read was “HIV-positive addict.” “It was all I could find about her,” said Roberts. “I pulled her child case file; she started working in the sex trade when she was eight years old. The only difference between me and her is I grew up on the east side of town and I had a loving, caring family. “Before she was six, she had been in 25 foster homes. When we see her as

an adult, people are like, ‘she made a choice.’ That girl never had a choice.” It was one among hundreds of experiences that led Roberts, who became a front-line HIV case manager, and Dr. Morris Markentin, a physician at the west-side Community Clinic, to found Sanctum. Sanctum Care Home opened its doors to people desperately ill with HIV/AIDS in November 2015. The 10-bed facility has already served 60 people; and now, Sanctum 1.5 is being constructed across the street on Avenue O, near St. Paul’s Hospital, to treat and support pregnant women with HIV/AIDS. Sanctum became reality because Rob-

erts and Markentin identified a dire need, and had the determination and passion to do something about it. Both of them saw the need every working day. Saskatchewan has the highest rates of HIV in Canada — four times the national average — and the Community Clinic serves about 600 HIV-positive people. Roberts provided outreach to those living with HIV but not engaged in the health care system. She and Markentin worked together all the time. “I would bring patients in to see him, and vice versa. What we started to notice was that a lot of our patients were falling through the cracks. Many of them were living in dire circumstances; they weren’t

getting the care they needed,” she said. “Every week we’d meet and talk about the worst cases and how do we help them,” said Markentin. “Every other week someone would say, man, we need somewhere for these people to stay, because they didn’t stay in the hospital. “You wouldn’t stay in the hospital for six weeks, would you? No. Well, they wouldn’t either. They’re coming from a background of homelessness with zero boundaries and now we put them in a hospital bed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, (tell them to) listen to what we have to say and be nice, when their mode was to survive on the street.

Saskatchewan trombonist, are sharing the joys this week of being the festival’s main award winners. Eaton is being honoured as the winner of the Jim Hill builder award, while Ulmer is the recipient of the special recognition award. “I was standing in a lineup for a Jane Siberry concert at the Broadway Theatre in 1994 when someone asked if I’d like to join the festival team,” Eaton said. “I didn’t know it was going to last for 24 years.” He has met hundreds of entertainers in his roles in transportation and hosting; he also served on the board of directors and was president. He calls the festival “my annual music binge.” Ulmer began his music career with the North Battleford City Kinsmen band, earned a music degree at the University of Saskatchewan and later received his masters at Texas State University. After being a soloist with the RCMP Band for two years, he resettled in Saskatchewan and now lives in Lloydminster. He has been a festival regular for years. ***** A festival recognition award winner in in 2015, Al Muirhead, a Regina trumpeter, arranger and recording artist, is returning to Saskatoon and will lead a quartet on June 29 at The Bassment. Now 82, Muirhead is still an innovative force. In February, he chose a select group of musicians to record Undertones, a product which will have a street date in September. Joining him in the process were Kelly Jefferson on sax, Reg Schwager on guitar, Neil Swainson on bass and Ted Warren on drums. It is Muirhead’s fourth release in three years. ***** Alan Kellogg, the entertainment director for the Students’ Union at the University of Saskatchewan in the early 1970s, is also making a homecoming at this year’s festival. His role with the U of S was the first of its kind on campus. He will be the featured vocalist with the Skip Kutz Quartet at the Nutrien Free Stage on July 1 at 4 p.m. While living previously in Saskatoon, Kellogg often joined Lyall Steel, a guitarist, and also took turns with Kutz in performances at the Park Town Hotel. He moved to Edmonton where he became manager for Paul Hand, later worked at CKUA Radio and has been a long-time columnist and editorial writer for the Edmonton Journal, ending his career there in 2010. #14 - 2345 Avenue C North Saskatoon, SK S7L 5Z5 306-934-2847 g.wyant.mla@sasktel.net

StarPhoenix’s Phil Tank, was whether AS062512 Aaronheated up last Wednes- autonomous (no driver needed) vehicles The BRT debate

would affect the future of the transit system and therefore reduce the need for a BRT. Coun. Cynthia Block asked the question to a considerable amount of eye-rolling; but I think that was because most of us see autonomous vehicles (henceforth AVs) as our very own, single-family vehicles with the added attraction of not having to pay attention to traffic. However, a few folks who are much smarter than I am pointed out that, at least in their early days, AVs are more likely to be parts of fleets. Think Uber and Lyft. Think various models where the AVs are stored in their own parking lots and scheduled to pick up people on routes, delivering them to places of work, play, study or shopping. The very first big use, argue some, will be selfdriving buses. Nope, said I on Twitter. Specifically, nope, AVs will not make a BRT system redundant. I cannot see a future where smaller AVs will replace big, fast-tracked buses. AV technology may make BRT buses better or cheaper in the long run, but it’s still BRT. And AV fleets may be part of the solution to, for example, getting folks downtown to concerts at our shiny new arena which will never ever have enough parking. But a BRT system will still be the best bet, transporting the most people the most

efficiently to and from the most outlying points of the city. I think. Having said that, Block brought up an interesting and thought-provoking point that actually leads us even further into the complexity of this issue. What will Saskatoon’s future look like, as affected by the future of technology? Will we ever get to a population of 500,000? By then, should we have city trains instead, overhead? I don’t know. It’s a tough one. (We sure as heck should have a train to Regina. But of course, that’s another column.) Now, we have to figure out where the heck a BRT is going to go, without messing up the character of the city too much. We have to figure out if we can afford it, or if we simply can’t afford not to build it. I rather think it would be a good idea. On a personal note, which affects my view: my car recently died. I didn’t want to spend the money on cabs and rentals. But the half hour bus service, considering all the stuff I had to do, was completely useless to me on those days. It was not only too slow, but took me nowhere near where I had to go on a tight schedule. I had to hire cabs and ultimately did rent a car until my baby was fixed. If we want people to drive less, we have to make it possible for them to get from point A to point B in a reasonable amount of time. That’s not happening, in my experience. So let’s do something.

And then that sort of morphed into the tennis tournament, to inspire kids to play,” AltingMees said. The Futures circuit is the first opportunity for players to get ATP ranking points, Alting-Mees notes. (It’s the ITF’s entry level of professional tournaments. Canadian tennis star Denis Shapovalov earned his first ATP point at Riverside. Fellow Canadian Vasek Pospisil won at Riverside in the tournament’s first year there.) “(Developing players) can test their mettle against the pros and find out ‘how much better do I need to get to be competing?’ So it really, really ups the level of our junior tennis program (in Saskatchewan). Even if they lose it’s a huge motivator for them to work harder,” she explained. Riverside was the first Canadian club outside Ontario and Quebec to join the Futures. The club’s courts had not been fixed in years, Alting-Mees said. Money raised for the tournament paid for an upgrade, which made hosting the event possible. “The tennis tournament really helped Kay Nasser helped kickstart International Tennis Federation Futures in Saskatoon.

Chief Mistawasis selected as name for new bridge

he North Commuter Parkway Bridge will be named in honour of Chief Mistawasis. “As we come together to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day in Victoria Park and get involved in Rock Your Roots Walk for Reconciliation it’s fitting that we have chosen to name the North Commuter Bridge after Chief Mistawasis to acknowledge the contributions of those who came before us and strived to create a better future,” Harry LaFond, executive director, Office of the Treaty Commissioner, said in a news release. The final recommendation for the name Chief Mistawasis to be applied to the bridge will be presented to city council in August for formal approval. “The process to bring us to this day has been one of learning and growth,” said Mayor Charlie Clark in the release. “Reconciliation is a journey, and it is a journey that the City of Saskatoon is dedicated to continuing as we seek to bridge the divides within our community. “Our Elders have been appealing to us to treat one another as relatives, which is a powerful starting place for building a stronger Treaty relationship for future generations. Thank you to the Elders, survivors, the bridge naming committee and the entire community for the support and advice in our journey.” Chief Mistawasis, also known as Pierre Belanger, was one of the most visionary northern plains Indigenous leaders. He was known in the Saskatoon area in hunting bison and played a major role in Treaty 6 negotiations in 1876. “Prior to, and following Treaty No. 6, Chief Mistawasis was a bridge to changing times between people, communities and Nations,” said Chief Daryl Watson. “Today, Mistawasis Nêhiyawak follows Chief Mistawasis’ legacy and belief in treaties, partnerships, alliances, friendships in sharing territories and all that Creator provides for us all.” To celebrate this honour, Mistawasis Nêhiyawak will create an education campaign to tell the story of Chief Mistawasis’ role in moving Treaty 6 forward, in particular how he spoke for the people involved in the treaty, both First Nations and Métis, and his vision of the future. Chief Mistawasis was one of over 400 names that were gathered from the community as part of an extensive community engagement exercise that began in July 2017. A key focus of the naming process was to educate the community on Indigenous people’s history, culture and contributions, which included the creation of four educational vignettes, school lesson plans and tool kits. The community-led project responds directly to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action #79: Participate in a strategy to commemorate Aboriginal People’s history and contributions to Canada. The North Commuter Parkway Bridge remains on schedule to open in October 2018.

of us want to endure suffering, but since that strength is sitting there within us anyway, why not tap in to it to accomplish something else? I don’t believe it’s a finite resource, so it will be there when you absolutely need it regardless. The other theme I’ve reflected heavily upon this week is support. Not just parents supporting their children, and families supporting each other, both of which are a given. It’s the support from outside the family unit that really creates the network required for victims of trauma to move forward. It may be monetary, it may be in kind, it may be the backing of a massive corporation, or it may simply be a hand-drawn card from a five-yearold stranger. All of it has a deep impact. A quote, which has been incorrectly attributed to Plato but is nonethelesss still incredibly wise, sums up how I feel about support today: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” Sometimes, terrible, awful things happen to good people on a scale that reverberates not just through their own lives, but ours as well, which creates a mass outpouring of support for those

good people, which is awesome. But look around you: it’s likely every single person you see has experienced pain and great loss, but privately, without fanfare, which is how most of us experience it. Yet grief, anger, pain and frustration feels exactly the same for everyone else, as it does for those who experience it publicly. I’m not saying that Air Canada should fly us all around for free all the time (but a huge thank you to Air Canada and its amazing people for getting the Broncos to Las Vegas). But as individuals, why wouldn’t we support each other all the time? In the way we support the few who experience the same emotions and heartache as everyone else, but in the spotlight? When it comes right down to it, human beings are all the same. We are all strong, caring and capable of supporting those around us, and we are all battling our way through life, and in need of support. Let’s stop waiting for extraordinary circumstances to have an excuse to be human beings, because they already exist, all around you, every day.

GALAVANTING BOYFRIEND MIGHT WANT HIS CAKE AND EAT IT TOO Dear Lianne, I’m in a steady relationship with a great guy. He is almost too good for me. He is on his annual boy’s trip to Europe. They are golfing and have a private guide who takes them to nightclubs each night. Mark has been keeping in touch with me but I’m actually feeling resentful hearing about his great adventures. My closest aunt recently passed away and I’m bummed and he is off galavanting. He made a

comment about things taking time to work through when there is a loss. I wanted to jump through my phone and scream. I actually responded by saying, “whatever”. We are in our fifties and I don’t think partying all night with the boys in Europe is right when your grieving girlfriend is at home. He runs a company here and looks forward to the trip. They’ve done this trip every June for the past eight years. What do you think? – Rachel

Dear Rachel, The first thing you must realize is that he is on vacation and entitled to enjoy his break from the rest of his life. You will want him to miss you and look forward to seeing you. I urge you to be positive and cheerful and not give him childish “whatever” responses. It is okay for him to know you are grieving but you need to keep busy and share the highlights of your day not the

downers. Don’t try and pick a fight with him or resent the fact he is having fun. I would not be thrilled if my partner was going to nightclubs all week without me but if the trust factor has been established it would be okay. You can’t expect him to tell his buddies that he is staying in each night because he has a girlfriend. The bonus is that you will have a full year to develop your relationship before his next boy’s trip.

Sanctum 1.5 to open in September

“P

(Continued from page 1) eople say, ‘oh you did this to yourself. You’re just an addict.’ So they wouldn’t go to the hospital.” Until a care worker would find them unresponsive in an alley. “They would get admitted to the ICU and they would die within 24 hours with nobody around them,” said Markentin. “They were that sick. They wouldn’t go to the hospital until they were dead.” Enough was enough. Roberts and Markentin founded the not-for-profit Sanctum Care Group in 2013. “It was Katelyn’s idea. It was her dream to make it happen,” said Markentin. But what followed was two years of meetings and doors being slammed in their faces. Finally, they wrote a proposal and took it to St. Paul’s Hospital, which owns the house that is now Sanctum. “We were lucky enough to have huge support from (St. Paul’s board members) Bill Edwards and Jean Morrison, who said if you guys can find the funding to operate, we’ll allow you to use the building. For nothing,” said Roberts. With the building in place, they found another advocate in Corey Miller, a vicepresident with Saskatoon Health Region at the time, who worked with them to create a business case. The case said Sanctum could improve patient outcomes and reduce acute care bed use, while saving the health authority a lot of money. And it worked. The health region agreed to fund the home. “In our first year evaluation, we exceeded all of those outcomes and were able to prove we can provide not only more appropriate care, but we can do it for less dollars and have better patient outcomes,” said Roberts. A complex disease requiring holistic care HIV-AIDS is not a simple condition. It’s driven by homelessness, poverty, addictions and mental illness, so just treating the medical aspects of the disease doesn’t work, say Roberts and Markentin. Therefore, Sanctum provides a holistic environment addressing all the related issues. “They can come into our facility for up to three months. About 92 per cent of our admissions are homeless. We know someone living in this community who is HIV positive and homeless without support will die within about five years,” said Roberts. It doesn’t have to be that way, added Markentin, because treatment today is very good. “If you get them on the right medication and you feed them and you house them, they can move from someone dying of AIDS to someone living with HIV. That’s what we do here.” In terms of treating HIV, it could be as simple as taking one pill once per day: once the viral load is zero, it can’t be transmitted. “But the average Canadian is 50 per cent compliant on any prescription they get. And we’re asking a population struggling with homelessness, chronic disease, addiction and mental illness to be 98 per cent compliant for the meds to be effective,” said Roberts. “You’re trying to survive, right? You can’t think I might die in six months when you’re worried about where I’m going to sleep tonight and what I’m going to eat today,” said Markentin. By the time they are discharged, patients have a network of support and hopefully can avoid acute hospitalization, said Roberts. But patients were having a hard time leaving Sanctum. “We also opened up the Beehive, a transition home (with 11 units) for people living with HIV,” said Roberts. “What we found in our first year was the vast majority of the patients we were bringing in to Sanctum, when it was

time to discharge them, they didn’t want to leave.” Saving babies, helping mothers Now, phase two — Sanctum 1.5 — is slated to open in September, supported in part by funds raised through the Sanctum Survivor event which sees local leaders learn about homelessness by spending 36 hours on the streets. It will be Canada’s first HIV pre-natal care home. For pregnant mothers with HIV who are on medication, the chances of transmission to the baby are less than two per cent, said Markentin. That rises considerably if a woman is not on medication. Most pregnant women with HIV have had children apprehended, often right out of hospital. Indeed, 98 per cent of women caught in this cycle were fostered themselves, said Roberts. Sanctum 1.5, also with 10 beds, will offer not just treatment, but a home, parenting classes and other supports to keep some of the babies out of the foster care cycle. “When a baby gets apprehended and goes into the foster care system, the ministry has 18 months to have a permanent home for that baby,” Roberts said. “They bounce through foster homes and develop attachment disorders. Once you have an attachment disorder it sets you up for all sorts of failure down the road.” Roberts knows not every mother at Sanctum 1.5 will be able to parent, but they may be able to make good plans for their babies by locating good families, she said. Sanctum is working with the Ministries of Health and Social Services to create a long-term sustainable plan for the mother-baby home. “We’re trying to pitch the cost avoidance,” said Markentin. “One baby with HIV’s life-time cost of medication alone is $1.3 million. One baby. Could live to be 80 with HIV, on medication. If we could avoid that, that’s two years of funding.” And the social costs of foster care are huge. “Sanctum 1.5 is not just about saving money. It’s about doing the right thing, making a difference and changing the current cycle. We have more children in foster care right now than we did in residential schools,” added Roberts. Why Sanctum? With so many issues out there, why did the two founders decide on creating Sanctum for people struggling with HIV/ AIDS? “They’re IV drug users, addicts, junkies. They have HIV . . . They cannot advocate for themselves because they have secrets the public is not ready to hear,” said Markentin. “So if we don’t advocate for them, then no one will. It is our duty. We can all be one step away from this life. We need to advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves. For me, that’s what it is. “I truly believe the people of Saskatchewan care, but they just don’t know.” It was much the same for Roberts. “We do live in a society where we’re OK with certain people living in circumstances they shouldn’t be living in,” she said. “You don’t see people with cancer living in back alleys but you do see people dying of addiction in back alleys every day. “People don’t realize the conditions in which people are living in this community. They are Third World and it is appalling when you live in a province with the best health infrastructure in the world that we’re OK with people dying of a chronic disease. “Addiction is a disease,” said Robert. “But nobody wants to see it that way.” Learn more about Sanctum and how to donate or volunteer at sanctumcaregroup.com.

What brought me to Saskatoon? Jigang Zhou, PhD Scientist, Industrial Science at CLS n the first morning of my recent workshop attendance at London, Ont., I walked around the university campus to visit the student apartment where I stayed during my first winter in Canada. Outside the apartment, a Canada goose got my attention and I wondered “Why do some geese select London to stay and some select Saskatoon?” Since I could not get the answer from the goose, I thought about similar things in human beings, and asked myself, “What brought me to Saskatoon?” I was born in a small city in northern China named Da’an (close to North Korea, Russia and Mongolia). My father wanted me to leave the small city and get a good education, so he took me travelling whenever he had the opportunity. The strategy was to inspire me to get used to and enjoy the exploration of an unknown and wonderful world outside of my small home town. He believed that this would drive me to study hard just by myself. It worked very well and then I entered in a top engineering university without too much pushing from my parents. Even though chemical engineering was not my selection, since chemistry was one of my worst classes in high school, I studied hard when I was an undergrad and I entered grad school without examination, a privilege just for students in the top five per cent. Unlike other top students who always planned to study abroad, I claimed that I would not leave China until all of my classmates left too. This logic seemed reasonable since English was my other worst class from high school to grad

school. After university graduation, I tried different companies and quickly realized that my real interest is in research, rather than being an engineer. At this point a PhD from a developed country would be better on a faculty application in a Chinese university. So I had to change my mind and prepare for an English exam. Listening skills was the first thing I needed to improve, so I started to listen to English programs by radio. When my wife came home from work she would ask me “What are you doing?” I would answer, “English radio programs; I am going to sharpen my listening skills.” She paused and said, “It is weird to hear French from an English radio station!” You can imagine how much struggle I had during that period. My hard work paid off again and I got very good results in my English exam. Unfortunately, the high scores didn’t bring me good luck because the U.S. universities thought the high scores were a result of students cheating, so they redesigned the test and required another exam, which I thought was ridiculous. Therefore, I decided to look further north and got an offer from the University of Western Ontario. One of my grad school courses was on the synchrotron. I complained at that time as to why an electrochemist needs a course on the synchrotron. Funny thing was that in my last year, a world famous synchrotron expert became my joint supervisor and it turned out the synchrotron was very useful in my project. In the same year, our national synchrotron, the Canadian Light Source

Jigang Zhou has a following of Canada geese. (Photo by Cam Hutchinson) at Saskatoon, had a job opening looking for people who had both synchrotron and industry experience, so I applied just before the job deadline, and I was fortunate to get the job. This is the reason I ended up in Saskatoon. We bought our first house here, and our son was born here. I have had my first professional career well-developed here. In the last 10 years I worked with Stanford, MIT, national labs and famous companies on thrilling research projects and got 100 high impact papers published, most of them focusing on sustainable clean energy. I named my researches

as BatteryX, which hints of using synchrotron X-ray to explore unknown mysteries inside batteries for future energy freedom. As you can see, the ambition of leaving the comfortable zone rooted by my father is the reason why I am now here in Saskatoon. Learning better English and listening to a French radio station predicted my life path to Canada. When I think back to all the places I have been, and all the accomplishments I have made, I am happy and thankful that like a Canada goose, I have landed here in Saskatoon.

Historical association recognizes book on Weyburn Mental Hospital

By Shannon Boklaschuk University of Saskatchewan history professor and a U of S graduate have been honoured by the Canadian Historical Association for their book about the Weyburn Mental Hospital. Professor Erika Dyck and College of Arts and Science alumnus Alex Deighton (BA’13, MA’16) recently received the Clio Prize for the Prairies for their book Managing Madness: Weyburn Mental Hospital and the Transformation of Psychiatric Care in Canada. Published by University of Manitoba Press in 2017, Managing Madness traces the history of the Saskatchewan institution from a large Victorian-styled asylum to its focus on care in the community. The Canadian Historical Association is a not-for-profit and charitable association devoted to fostering the scholarly study and communication of history in Canada. The annual Clio Prizes are given for meritorious publications or for exceptional contributions by individuals or organizations to regional history. Dyck said Managing Madness was a product of community engagement— there were six other contributors to the book—and she was proud to share news of the award with all involved. “This book was an experiment in historical writing. With eight authors, we attempted to write as a team—perhaps like a care team, even,” she said. “Our authors had a wide variety of experiences with mental health services— from superintendent of the Sask. Mental Hospital, to civil servant in the Saskatchewan government, to peer-support coun-

sellor, psychiatry resident, psychologists and historians. We wanted to honour our differences of opinion while harmonizing our professional strengths to help draw critical attention to different parts of this past. “Everyone played an important role in guiding this historical process and I am very proud of this approach to community-engaged scholarship.” Dyck said Managing Madness asks the questions “why did we historically put people in large institutions when they were considered mentally ill, and what changed to allow for a completely different system of care in the second half of the 20th century?” Weyburn Mental Hospital, which opened in 1921, was allegedly one of the last Victorian-styled asylums built in the British Commonwealth and it soon became overcrowded and caught up in political corruption, she said. “We look at conditions for patients during the first three decades as the mental hospital became an important economic driver in the local community, while patients languished behind the walls,” said Dyck. “In 1963, that same facility became one of the first mental hospitals on the continent to close its doors and embrace ‘care in the community.’ We asked, however, what had changed to make the community care? Tracing this significant shift in medical as well as public policy, we then considered how patients and staff experienced this transition into out-patient care, through emergency room visits, and into a new era of psychopharmaceutical management.

Professor Erika Dyck and College of Arts and Science alumnus Alex Deighton (BA’13, MA’16) recently received the Clio Prize for the Prairies for their book Managing Madness: Weyburn Mental Hospital and the Transformation of Psychiatric Care in Canada. (Photo Supplied) “Overall, we found a very consistent and overwhelming relationship between poverty and mental illness that took on new meanings in the era of deinstitutionalization and care in the community.” Dyck said the feedback to Managing Madness has been positive, both in Saskatchewan and beyond. While the book was written for the local community, Dyck noted the themes are universal and connect with broader studies elsewhere in North America. “We wanted to write about this topic because it represents a fundamental shift in how we imagine caring for people with mental illnesses. The mental hospital has since disappeared from the physical landscape, as it has in many places, and we wanted to write something that would help us remember the hospital and what it represented, but also to critically assess the state of mental health services,” she said. “People celebrated the dismantling of the asylum, and we understand why. But

transferring responsibility to an amorphous set of community services has not happened smoothly; we might argue it has not happened at all. So-called ‘care’ in the community has provided opportunities to de-fund mental health services and to transfer responsibility back to families and under-funded services that are not designed to support people with mental illnesses, per se. Further cuts to public libraries, bus service and public infrastructure more generally continues to degrade the notion of a ‘caring community.’ “By studying this transition over the past 100 years in Saskatchewan, we aimed to bring attention to the experiences of people who encountered these changes directly, and to emphasise that despite the rhetoric of progress, people with mental illnesses continue to be treated as sub-citizens.” (Shannon Boklaschuk is a communications coordinator with the College of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan.)

Group art exhibition showcases figurative work

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express oseph Anderson’s artistic practice draws from his interest in literature, illustration and childhood memories. It’s fitting, then, that four new paintings created by the Saskatoon resident allude to Lewis Carroll’s classic book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – specifically the introductory scene where the title character tumbles down the rabbit hole. “Like Alice, my figures also witness curious objects as they fall to an unknown fate. The title of one of the paintings – Down, Down, Down! – is a direct quote from the book,” said Anderson, who has a master of fine arts degree from the University of Saskatchewan. Anderson aims to reveal connections between fairy tales, cautionary stories and religious parables through his work. He said he tries to be a storyteller by using subject matter, narrative elements and a medium – watercolour – that is reminiscent of the pictures in children’s books. “I always try to combine a sense of fun and humour with an element of danger,” he said. “A common presence in my work are snakes. I think they have an interesting symbolic connection to both the religious and secular world. I actually have a bad phobia of snakes, but I usually let the viewer decide if these reptiles are deadly or helpful. The rather small size of my work again alludes to the size of an image in a book for children.” Anderson’s unique paintings are part of a new group exhibition of figurative work called figureground. The show is currently on view at Art Placement, a commercial art gallery located in the city’s downtown. The work of the 12 artists featured in figureground – many are current or former Saskatoon residents with ties to the U of S – highlight numerous ways of working with the human form. “We decided to mount this exhibition looking at local JW062509 artists workingJames in the figurative tradition for a few reasons.

As a student of art and even now as a gallerist and collector, I have always been drawn to figurative work,” Levi Nicholat, Art Placement’s gallery director, said in an email sent to the Saskatoon Express. “The human form is a dynamic subject that can communicate on so many levels – personally, psychologically, socially, metaphorically and symbolically,” he said. “From an evolutionary perspective, we are pre-programmed to identify the human form in our environment; it’s why people have a tendency to ‘find’ faces or representations of the human form in nature – in clouds or rock formations, for instance.” When studying the history of art, it is striking how prevalent the human figure is throughout, from prehistoric times to the present, said Nicholat. Some of the earliest examples of art are figurative, such as the Venus of Willendorf, while Renaissance painting was dominated by the figure. Even some of the best-known modern painters, such as Picasso, were “figurative artists through and through,” noted Nicholat, who also completed his master of fine arts degree at the U of S. “Bringing that back to the local context, Art Placement has been known primarily for showcasing landscapes and abstract painting, which is what a lot of the notable painters from this region have focused on and are known for. All the while, however, the figurative tradition has carried on, sustained by a relatively small but dedicated group of painters,” he said. “The University of Saskatchewan has played an important role in that, turning out some very significant figurative artists. Often those artists leave the city following their studies, as is the case with a few who are included in the exhibition. But a connection to the university art department is certainly common to the majority. We thought it was time to give it a little more focus and public presence to some of the artists working with that tradition.” Anderson said he had never thought of himself as a

A Curious Tea Time by Joseph Anderson. figurative artist, but he recognizes that the majority of his work has a connection to the body. In some cases, however, it may only be a portion of the figure, such as a floating head, he said. “When I do paint the human form, my interest lies in how it relates to the narrative of the image. I like to focus on how and why the figure became entangled in their unusual environments,” said Anderson. “When working on the figure, I like to include the irregularities of our skin – flushed cheeks and spotty flesh. I also tend to be somewhat flexible with proper anatomical proportions.” In addition to Anderson, the group exhibition includes pieces by Kristin Bjornerud, Riisa Gundesen, Iris Hauser, (Continued on page 13)

Theatre in the Park explores themes of ability, disability Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express ne of Saskatoon’s annual artistic traditions, Theatre in the Park, is back for another summer — and organizers are promising the “most groundbreaking production yet.” Sum Theatre’s Theatre in the Park offers family-friendly shows featuring music, puppetry and audience participation in public parks throughout the city. During the last five years, more than 30,000 people have come out to see the Sum Theatre productions — including more than 7,500 in 2017 alone, said artistic director Joel Bernbaum. “It vastly exceeded our expectations,” he said. “I am completely moved by the fact that not only is there a desire for our work, but that there’s a desire for people to come together in the summer in our public parks and celebrate community through art.” Theatre in the Park is Saskatoon’s first free live professional outdoor theatre. This year, with support from the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission and the Concentus Citizenship Education Foundation, a newly-commissioned work will be produced: Queen Seraphina and The Land of Vertebraat. Written by author Adam Pottle, who is deaf, and adapted by the Sum Theatre ensemble, the show explores themes of ability and disability. “We always are looking for new ways to put our values on the stage, and we believe in the power of community and the power of theatre — and inclusion is such a huge part of community,” said Bernbaum. Bernbaum said Pottle was interested in writing something “epic” and “grand,” as well as something that would contribute to the disability folklore. Queen Seraphina and The Land of Vertebraat is a story about a place “where everyone, of all abilities, lives in harmony,” said Bernbaum. “These are very interesting times right now that we’re living in and there’s a lot of darkness in the world,” he said. “We need examples of hope and examples of togetherness in order for us to move out of the dark period that we’re in and embrace each other in community.” The show features elaborate staging, as the Land of Vertebraat is a series of ramps from which Queen Seraphina (played by Haley Brown, a wheelchair user) navigates the world. The set is completely wheelchair accessible, said Bernbaum. “I think people will be very surprised when they show up to their neighbourhood park and see this massive structure dropped into their neighbourhood park,” he said. The show’s cast and crew includes Chris Dodd, a deaf artist and playwright who is the creator of SOUND OFF: A Deaf Theatre Festival. Michael Martin is an actor with Erb’s palsy who is currently

There is also a small selection of historical works featured in the exhibition, including paintings by the late Dmytro Stryjek and a drawing by the late Ernest Lindner. As well, a rare, early work by Lorna Russell – who, like Lindner, is best known as a landscape painter – is on display. Nicholat noted that the exhibition highlights the diversity that exists in terms of artistic approaches to representing the figure. Each artist has a different intention

The production also features Indigenous artists Krystle Pederson and Lancelot Knight, as well as the musical talents of singer-songwriter Josh Palmer. The show will have sign language integrated with original music. “It’s challenging and exciting to work with a diversity of performers because everyone has so much to offer from their perspective,” said Bernbaum. “And that’s one thing Adam says that I really appreciate, and I give him credit for sharing this with me. He says not only is it good to be inclusive because it’s the right thing to do, but being inclusive of people with different perspectives and abilities gives us a whole new richness and wealth of stories. And that’s basically what we’re doing, is exploring stories that we haven’t heard before.” Sum Theatre’s production of Queen Seraphina and The Land of Vertebraat is a world premiere and Bernbaum is curious to see how audience members will respond to it. He said the show is “totally family friendly,” since Theatre in the Park’s audience members typically range in age from six months old to 96 years old. “I hope people walk away feeling moved,” he said. “There’s parts of the play that are a little darker than we’ve usually done with our Theatre in the Park show, because, as I said, it’s dark times. So I hope people will be a little bit disturbed but also enlightened and motivated to not only see, but feel, things in a different way.” Queen Seraphina and The Land of Vertebraat begins on July 2 at Chief Darcy Bear Park at 7 p.m. It will run in more than 25 local parks until July 31. Evening shows are at 7 p.m., while Sunday matinees start at 2 p.m. The show is suitable for all ages and attendees are welcome to come an hour early to do a free craft with the Children’s Discovery Museum. For the full schedule and performance locations, go to sumtheatre.com. for his or her work, and the decisions that each artist makes in terms of how they choose to represent the figure produces a unique result. “These works demonstrate that the figurative tradition is something that has always been there, sometimes quietly in the background – but something that most artists at least dabble in at one time or another,” he said. The group exhibition runs until Aug. 2 at Art Placement, which is located at 238 Third Ave. South. The gallery’s hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, go to artplacement.com.

GREATE.R. Campaign exceeds goal by $8 million

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express he Royal University Hospital (RUH) Foundation had reason to celebrate. And what better way than with a picnic on a beautiful summer day? The foundation turned 35 this year and recently completed its most successful initiative ever, raising $28 million in its three-year GREATE.R. Campaign. In total, the foundation has raised $131 million since 1983. The GREATE.R. Campaign was launched with the goal of raising $20 million. More than 4,600 donors later, it exceeded its goal by $8 million. That’s Saskatchewan generosity at its finest. More than half of that money has been put to use already. The picnic crowd, comprised mainly of donors and hospital staff, was told donations to the campaign helped those injured in the Humboldt bus crash to receive better care. “The fact the RUH foundation raised $28 million through the GREATE.R. Campaign is absolutely amazing,” said Dr. Mark Wahba, an RUH Emergency Department doctor and Saskatchewan Health Authority physician executive for integrated urban health. “These donations will help save lives.” Dr. Wahba cited the Humboldt bus accident as an example of the quality of health care that is delivered in Saskatchewan. “When our provincial health care team was called into the action the night of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash tragedy, it was people at this hospital and St. Paul’s and our facilities and colleagues, most importantly in Tisdale, Melfort and Nipawin, that were at the front line.

(Continued from page 14) Thank you to the doctors, nurses and other staff at Royal University Hospital for bringing him back to life. It is because of you that our family can celebrate each day together and participate in special occasions with family and friends.” Arla Gustafson, CEO of the RUH Foundation, said the foundation is “humbled by this generosity and confidence bestowed on the foundation and Royal University Hospital. The impact of this support will continue to generate faster response times, create stronger teams and purchase new equipment that not only benefits patients and staff today but will be there for decades to come.” She said $16 million of the $28 million raised in the GREATE.R. Campaign has been spent. Among the uses have been a seven-bed emergency mental health assessment unit; the pilot of a dedicated trauma program for RUH’s Emergency Department that now responds to the 1,000-plus traumas that arrive at Saskatchewan’s provincial trauma centre, the purchase of 30 Code Blue carts and training for critical incidents, supporting remote presence technology for ultrasound in the

North, and providing the newest technology upgrade for the interventional radiology suites. The list goes on. Gustafson cited some the highlights from the foundation’s 35 years. Among them are the first MRI Scanner in Saskatchewan in 1991, the first PET-CT Scanner, the first electrophysiology fulltime lab, 65 in-patient beds, the Irene and Leslie Dubé Centre for Mental Health, and funding for the inaugural Cameco chair in Indigenous health. Dr. Wahba sees the money working daily. “Every day the doctors, the nurses and the staff across Saskatchewan deliver high quality care,” Dr. Wahba said. “And, of course, this includes an amazing team of health professionals who are devoted to emergency — trauma, critical care and mental health within the Royal University Hospital Emergency Department. “When it comes to our partnership with the Royal University Hospital Foundation, we know this is an example of something being done right. I work down the hall there at RUH and I’ve seen first-hand the power of volunteers and the strength of our foundations and I know how important they are to our system.”

U.S. treatment of children upsets Express writer

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express COMMENTARY When I was a little girl, maybe around seven, I believed I could fly. I would jump off the end of our old brown couch, flapping my arms wildly, and for a few brief moments I actually thought I was taking off. “Why didn’t I know before that I could fly?” I wondered. For a while one evening, I just kept jumping off the couch, relishing those brief moments as the breeze encircled my arms and hands and I actually thought I was going somewhere. It was an exhilarating feeling, to believe that something completely new and unfamiliar was possible. I had never felt so free. As we get older, though, our wings are clipped and our feathers are plucked. The weight of the world brings you back to the earth. Obligations, the heaviness of social expectations and the judgment of others, AS062504 the cruelty ofAaron the world around us and its

shallow emphasis on money and appearance, the stark reality that you need to work to live — slowly, but surely, you realize that no, you could never fly, and it was probably silly to think so. Being a parent to my two little boys, however, is helping me take flight once again. I see the world in a new way, through their young eyes, and I love that their natural tendency is to love, to explore everything and to be open to the world around them. They are curious. They are unstoppable. They think anything is possible. Who am I to tell them otherwise? That is why I am hurt so deeply when I see what is happening in the U.S. That is why I am absolutely crushed when people tell me to worry about what’s happening in my own country or that migrant families should just follow the rules. To this, I respond that these are children we are talking about. These are children. These are children. These are children. And I believe that all children should fly.

Artwork pays tribute to contributions of Aboriginal peoples

new piece of art was unveiled in Victoria Park last week to commemorate the contributions and history of Aboriginal peoples to Canada. The Coming Spring by accomplished Canadian artist Gordon Reeve was commissioned by the Saskatoon Tribal Council and the city, with funding from the Government of Canada through the Canada 150 Fund. It was developed with extensive input from the community and guidance from Elders and Indigenous residential school survivors. The artwork’s creation is in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action. “The Government of Canada is committed to working on meaningful and lasting reconciliation,” the Honourable Mélanie Joly, minister of Canadian Heritage, said in a news release. “As we marked Canada 150 in 2017, it was important to consider and learn about all the events that shaped our country, including some of the darker chapters in our history. “It is through telling and experiencing these stories — our stories — that we learn from each other, reconcile ourselves with the past, and move toward a future together. The Coming Spring: Where Our Paths Cross reconciliation commemorative artwork will bring together Indigenous Peoples and all Canadians to remember, learn and share, and will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.” The 27-foot tall arch and two spires are constructed entirely of stainless steel that reflects the sun and moon. The longer 47foot spire, pointing north, symbolically represents the First Nations’ long history. The 39-foot spire, pointing south, symbolically represents the history of the Métis Nation. Suspended high on each spire are moving chimes. The rustling and bell-like sounds the chimes make suggest the voices of children heard at a distance, representing the children taken by the residential system from all of the communities in Treaty 6 Territory. “We are honoured to have had the opportunity to work on this significant

art project for the past two years with our partners,” Saskatoon Tribal Council Chief Mark Arcand said in the release. “We acknowledge that a lot of work has been done and still needs to be done in regards to healing the past, but with this present era of reconciliation, we are all working towards the same goal to move ahead and improve the quality of life for our entire community.” Shirley Isbister, president of the Central Urban Métis Federation Incorporated, said Reeve “has brought a true spirit of community inclusion into this monumental piece. The jingles will ring out the voices of children, women, families and our diverse community.” The Coming Spring is located within Reconciliation Circle in Victoria Park, north of the festival site and east of Spadina Crescent West. The location was identified by First Nations and Métis Elders as having particular significance because it has been the site of two reconciliation gatherings, is large enough to accommodate community events, and has a view of the park, trees and South Saskatchewan River. “The Coming Spring makes a meaningful statement at this beautiful location on our cherished riverbank in Reconciliation Circle at Victoria Park,” said Mayor Charlie Clark. “This sculpture creates an opportunity for present and future generations to reflect on where we have come from and where we are going as a city; a city where the paths have crossed between First Nations, Métis, and generation after generation of immigrants seeking a good life here, free from persecution. “This year, as thousands gather in Reconciliation Circle on National Indigenous Peoples Day, the messages of reconciliation and committing ourselves to a stronger future together will be even more poignant because of this piece of art.” Since 2015, the City has been working with the Saskatoon Tribal Council; Central Urban Métis Federation Incorporated; Office of the Treaty Commissioner; and other community groups, leaders, and institutions in Saskatchewan to promote reconciliation.

Eat together for health and companionship: dietician Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express any Canadians — too many — are eating alone for their own good. For some it’s by choice and for others it’s a matter of circumstances. It’s not healthy in either situation. Sophia Khan, the in-store dietician for Independent Grocers in Saskatoon, said breaking the tendency for a senior to eat alone can start with people in a social circle. “I would encourage seniors to think about who they are interacting with and ask those people if they want to grab lunch one day. That’s a good start.” That good start can lead to regular meals with a group of people who might otherwise be eating alone. “Sometimes potlucks are really great for that, because it is hard for one person to cook a whole meal for a large group. If you have a group of people that like to eat together, sometimes it is easier to ask each person to bring a different food item,” said Khan. She didn’t say what those foods items should be. “That is very individualized. I would sit down with a person one-on-one and discuss their whole diet and their likes and dislikes, and see if they have any health TA062517 conditions andTammy that sort of thing. You can

eat all kinds of foods together.” She said seniors — and anyone living alone — can set up weekly dinners, lunches or brunches with grandchildren, for example. “If you have grandkids, it is an opportunity to teach them how to cook and teach them favourite family recipes. It’s a great way to build that relationship with your grandkids as well.” And grandma — or grandpa —has company. “It has been found that when you eat together you end up eating more nutritious meals and it helps you form healthier eating habits as well. It also builds relationships between the people you are eating with.” People in the workforce are not making much effort to eat with colleagues, although they know they should, according to a President’s Choice survey. Almost half of Canadians eat lunch alone every day of the work week. Two-thirds eat alone three times a week. Two-thirds of the people surveyed said a person should be eating with somebody on a regular basis. “It shows we are eating together less, yet Canadians feel eating together is an important thing to do,” Khan said. “Eating at work alone has become the new societal norm.”

She said people want to be uninterrupted when doing personal business and they want to spend time on social media. “We’re looking at screens and not focusing on what we’re eating. We’re eating while we are distracted which definitely affects the mood of the meal.” Khan stressed that eating with others is healthy. “It helps you form healthy eating habits and make better food choices. It helps you maintain a healthy body weight and it encourages healthy eating practices and family traditions about food that can be passed on to children. It makes you more accountable about what you eat because you are surrounded by people.” She said eating alone and Sophia Khan is the in-store dietician while distracted can affect the for Independent Grocers in Saskatoon. portion size.

Cognitive Fitness: More than Brain Games!

ou’ve probably heard of the Lumosity, the online Brain Game subscription service that offers a variety of memory and cognition games for a price. What you probably haven’t heard is that in early 2016, Lumosity was fined $2 million for making false or unsubstantiated claims. They asserted that playing their brain games improved cognitive function and memory and helped stave off dementia. But science doesn’t back them up. Most research indicates that such “brain training” has no effect on cognitive performance except for performance on the tests themselves. In other words, playing brain games only makes one better at playing brain games. If only we could play video games to stay sharp and keep dementia at bay! However, science is showing that there is another way. A growing body of research suggests that physical fitness is related to cognitive function. Staying in shape benefits the body, yes, but it can also boost brain power! It was once thought that after a certain age, it was impossible to form new brain cells. In fact, there is evidence that even well into late adulthood, the brain has the ability to continue to grow and change. Exercise has been proven to: Produce new brain cells in the hippo-

campus, the area of the brain responsible for long-term memory. Your brain can continue to grow as you age! Improve focus and attention Provide a protective effect by creating a bigger, stronger pre-frontal cortex and hippocampus, the two areas most susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline Provide long-lasting increases in “good mood” neurotransmitters Research is ongoing, but right now it seems the minimum effective dose for exercise is 3-4 x/week at a minimum 30 minutes. Aerobic exercise has been studied the most and is most often recommended, but other studies have found that weight training, even just once or twice a week, improves executive function in seniors. Executive function is the core element of reasoning, planning and problem solving. Newer studies are showing that performing dual tasks – a physical task coupled with a cognitive task – may just be the ticket. Experts in the area of fitness for older adults believe this is the next big wave in fitness! Ways to train include: • Problem solving to achieve movement. E.g. Get up off the floor in 10 different ways. • Do a physical task at the same time as a cognitive one. E.g. Count backwards

by 3’s as you march on the spot or stand on one leg. • Perform tasks that involve both sides of the brain. E.g. Move limbs at the same time, but in opposite directions. • Move body parts in time to rhythms e.g. move to the beat of music. The best thing about this kind of

training is that it’s FUN! It’s “playing”, which is how we grew our brains when we were kids. It’s a whole new world of exercise that can transform your body AND your brain! Content provided by Shelley Turk, Certified Functional Aging Specialist

Learn to downsize before a move

ging men and women often take inventory of their lives in an effort to focus on activities or lifestyle changes that can ensure happy retirements. With the youngest of the boomers in their mid-50s and the majority having already reached retirement age, many boomers are trying to decide if it’s time to move out of their family homes and into smaller, more manageable abodes. Many older adults find they do not need the same amount of space as they did when they had children living at home. Retirees and those on the cusp of retirement may find that downsizing is a smart financial move that frees up more time for recreation. However, it can be challenging to cut down on living space and then deal with figuring out how to make furniture, belongings and stored items fit in more condensed areas. Moving can be stressful even without having to cut down on prized items. Taking an inventory of belongings can help the process go smoothly. Before moving, men and women can go room by room, making piles of items that will be kept, donated, sold, or discarded. This can be a tedious task, but it is necessary to avoid clutter in a new home. People downsizing can attempt to sell items they do not need via newspaper classified sections or online classified sites. Appliances and furniture in excellent shape may fetch good prices. Any extra cash can be put toward buying new items that are size-appropriate for the smaller home. Another way to clear out clutter is to sort

duplicates from the stock of items. A person may no longer need multiple sets of dishes or silverware. If the move involves switching from a king-sized to a queen-sized bed, donate or trash bed linens that will no longer fit. Pay close attention to kitchen and bathroom items, which tend to accumulate over time but might not be discarded when clearing a home of clutter. People moving from a detached home to a condominium or a townhouse may learn that homeowner’s association fees cover everything from snow removal to lawn maintenance to pool upkeep. If so, it’s unnecessary to bring lawn and garden supplies.

AS062509 Aaron

Homeowners are advised to look at the floor plan of their new dwellings and pay attention to storage space. This can make it easier to plan ahead for what may fit, what will need to be purchased new and which storage solutions may be needed. Having a plan in place can make unpacking and settling in go smoothly. The organizing company Organize Me says that homeowners should consider how cabinets and closets will be used before moving in. Downsizing can free up time and money. When done right, downsizing can make retirement easier and create more leisure time for retirees.

Q A

I’ve heard that tea is good for you but I don’t know much about it and there’s too many choices. Where should I start? Tea is a healthy beverage because it contains antioxidants and polyphenols. While studies are still ongoing, there is enough research to show that tea is good for the heart and may reduce cancer risks. There are 4 major tea categories: green, black, oolong, and white which all come from the same shrub plant- Camellia sinensis. Depending on how these leaves are treated and oxidized creates all the different teas you drink. Also the way in which they are treated will allow more of the flavonoid antioxidants to remain in the tea. A general rule of thumb is the darker teas have less polyphenols but can still remain high in antioxidizing power. If you need a caffeine free drink, you can try an herbal “tea”. Since it doesn’t come from Camellia sinensis, it’s not actually a tea. Instead it is an infusion made from the roots, flowers, leaves, and/or fruits of various plants. Just keep in mind that tea is not a miracle drink and cure all. Tea is healthy beverage and great alternative to coffee, but keeping healthy through diet and exercise is important. We carry an extensive selection of loose leaf teas and are happy to help you select a great tasting and high quality tea. In addition, we also carry a variety of teabags and loose tea accessories to get you started.

I am considering selling my car, as upkeep and gas prices are expensive! I live close to Market Mall, and though I can’t walk that far, I would still like to go for coffee and groceries, etc. What options are available to put on the scooter to put my groceries in? What if it is raining? Is there a cover? Yes, automobiles are getting to be a real expensive way to pop over to the mall! And parking still means there is a distance to walk. Scooters allow an economical option! No oil changes or gas etc! They run on battery power and can go approximately 25 miles on a single charge. Scooters can be outfitted with several options: • Totes (to hold groceries etc.), windshields and canopies to keep the wind and rain at bay, and walker, cane or Oxygen holders. • To keep you safe and visible on the road, Sage installs a free safety flag with pole with every new scooter purchase.

Cherry Insurance donates matching gift of $100,000

Saskatoon’s Cherry Insurance donated $100,000 for a new Automated Breast Ultrasound at the Breast Health Centre in Saskatoon City Hospital.

When principals at Cherry Insurance read about the Breast Health Centre’s need for an Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS), they acted. “Given our family history, it struck a chord,” says Robyn Cherry, whose mom is a breast cancer survivor. “That’s why we decided to have genetic testing and discovered we were BRCA2 positive, extremely high risk for cancer. I go for annual screenings now.” Cherry Insurance offered to match funds up to $100,000 for the ABUS. They asked Stealth Media to create a specific ad as part of the company’s family brand campaign. This generous support was one reason why ABUS funds were raised in a very short time. Robyn is the fourth generation of her family involved in the 75-year old business. “My great-grandfather started selling insurance door-to-door in 1945, shortly after SGI was created. We now have six locations in the province. “We supported the Foundation before,” she adds. “But, given the nature of this, it’s the first time we’ve encouraged community involvement. We’re glad we did.” The Foundation thanks the family and Cherry Insurance, your SGI CANADA broker, for their awesome generosity!

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Views of the World

U.S. already has a space force

ou wait all week for the Roughriders game, and that’s what you get? Horrible. • From Torben Rolfsen: “Worse summer job: White House communications intern or Ottawa Senators season-ticket salesperson?” • From Janice Hough: “Argentina and Messi would like to thank Melania Trump and her jacket for making sure they weren’t last Thursday’s most embarrassing story.” • Is it just me, or do the Roughriders need a bigger Canadian flag for pre-game ceremonies? The current one looks like a Band-Aid on Dan Clark. • A question from Rolfsen: “Will the NFL honour the Space Force before games?” • Another question from Rolfsen: “Does Barry Trotz get to re-join the Capitals for their Kremlin visit?” • From Hough: “Even in tough times, we’ll always have Darwin awards – Tourists on the Big Island of Hawaii are getting arrested for taking selfies near lava from Mt. Kilauea.” • Former Saskatoon CTV and Global sports announcer Roger Millions failed in his attempt to win the nomination for the United Conservative Party in Airdrie-East. Which proves Roger is no Kevin Waugh, politically speaking. • Rolfsen, on Montreal not looking very good in their season-opening loss to the BC Lions: “I think they’re tanking for the draft.” • From Hough: “How have Republicans

in the U.S. gone from ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall’ to holding children hostage to build our own wall?” • Ex-New England mafia boss Francis (Cadillac Frank) Salemme was convicted last week for the 1993 murder of a nightclub owner. I’ve always thought mobsters have the best nicknames. • I’m not a fan of Kate Beirness as the host for Thursday Night Football. If TSN wanted to go younger and female, I think there are better choices on their staff. • There aren’t any voices better than Rod Smith’s in Canadian sports broadcasting. • Please count me among the few that thought defensive back Marcell Young used excessive force when stopping a streaker. There was no need to hurt the guy. • From Hough: “Can someone tell Trump we already have a Space Force? It’s called Space Balls, and it’s led by Michael Jordan.” • A survey found 50 per cent of Internet users will quit waiting for a video to load after 10 seconds. I wait five — tops. • Hough, on Tiger-Cats coach June Jones thinking Johnny Manziel should be playing in the NFL: “Uh, first can we see if Johnny can play in the CFL?” • A tweet from former Global TV news director and station manager Lisa Ford: “I’ve had my Fitbit for one day, and I’m already tired of it nagging me. TIME TO MOVE! To the fridge? OK!” I hope retirement is treating Lisa well.

Nothing Messi about Upton

By RJ Currie British Columbia lawyer who sued a client for a negative online review has been awarded damages of just one dollar. No, wait — that was Johnny Manziel’s CFL signing bonus. • The Winnipeg Blue Bombers secondary still looks full of holes. When the rest of the team sat for this years’s calendar, the DBs posed for a colander. • Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, chosen 11th in the NBA draft, says he gets basketball tips from Steve Nash. And judging by his suits, fashion tips from Don Cherry. • Female wrestlers Brie Bella, Nikki Bella and Natalie Neidhart are in Miami filming their hit show Total Divas. It’s reality TV and therefore unscripted — unlike wrestling. • Ex-NFLer Cory Redding’s financial adviser was sentenced to 84 months in jail for stealing $4.5 million from the defensive tackle’s portfolio. In short: he got seven years for holdings. • Brewers pitcher Adrian Houser vomited on the mound during an inning of relief against the Phillies. He gave up two hits, one run and what looked like peas and carrots. • Ex-NFL QB Brett Favre, who played football with a disregard for his body, wants a federal ban on tackling for kids under 12. Yes, Brett Favre. The pivot calling the kettle black. • Just wondering: If Angels outfielder Mike Trout is so good, why hasn’t he made the cover of Field and Stream?

• According to the NY Post, Argentina’s World Cup loss to Croatia was because their star Lionel Messi “fell flat.” Can’t see that ever happening to Kate Upton. • The Milwaukee Brewers have promised their famous racing sausages will compete “beyond 2018” with new sponsor Johnsonville. It reassured fans who had feared for the wursts. • TMZ reports ex-Calgary Stampeder and Seattle Seahawk Brandon Browner served only two days of a recent 60-day sentence due to jail overcrowding. And that’s just from NFL players. • The Phillie Phanatic fired a hot dog cannon into the stands and the flying frankfurter hit a fan in the face, giving her a shiner. Anyone else thinks mascots are an eyesore? • Yale beat Duke to win the NCAA lacrosse title. As part of a side bet, the Yalies get two chauffers and a valet to be named later. • San Francisco Giants reliever Hunter Strickland broke his hand striking a door. He’s a good closer but a lousy opener. • Scientists say in a maximum of 10 years they’ll be able to recreate dinosaurs. At which time, experts predict, they’ll join the few other beings on earth watching MLB baseball. RJ’s Groaner of the Week Kansas sits second-to-last in the American League and is reportedly clearing out big-salary players to rebuild from the ground up. Call it the Royal weeding.
