in the summer months while attending the University of Saskatchewan. I suspected they thought I’d be their business partner when I grew up. “We have pictures of Mr. Diefenbaker coming to town and being surrounded by the schoolchildren in front of the store. Later, when he was campaigning, he’d arrive with a caravan of trucks and wagons and he’d get up on the back of the wagon and deliver his speeches.” Tkachuk graduated from the U of S with a bachelor of arts in 1965 and, in 1966, a diploma in education. He was active in student government. In the year he was president of the students’ union, some of his partners were Devine, Raynell Andreychuk, a former judge and now a Canadian senator, Eric Malling, who became a TV journal-
ist, and Pat Lorje, who was later active in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan politics. While at the university, he began running social events, and quickly emerged as a promoter, starting a company called Actron Agencies. He staged Woodtick One, a one-day rock and roll event on a church property on the road to Pike Lake, and took Woodtick Two to the Saskatoon Exhibition grounds the next year. He saw Saskatoon talent hit the national stage, including Kenny Shields and Witness. He taught at St. Michael’s School from 1972 through 1974, and launched basketball, volleyball and track and field with help from his wife, Sharon. He was ticketed to teach at Holy Cross High School the next year. (Continued on page 15)

from making a donation. She said her partner was “the best.” “He was my best friend, my partner in crime and father to my kids,” she said. “He was a great dad. He would do whatever he could to support us. “He would help anybody. If he had his days off and he had plans, if somebody said, ‘hey can I come over and you change the oil for me,’ he would drop everything thing he had planned and do that for them. “He loved his old cars and loved his old trucks. He was a Chevy man through and through.” Danis has the Chevy logo tattooed on her right arm. Casey and Carsyn have signed it. Casey is about to turn 10, while Carsyn is eight. “Chad always had the music blaring even though sometimes it was not the appropriate time to have the music blaring,” she said with a laugh. Miklun loved old rock, ’60s and ’70s rock; AC/DC and George Thorogood were among his favourites. That is turn-up-thevolume music. Danis said she and her two daughters were doing well as the second anniversary of Miklun’s death approached. “I guess the kids don’t really notice the time frame. It’s everybody else who starts thinking about what happened, almost two years ago now. I can’t believe it is two years; I keep thinking what if, but nothing is going to bring him back; all we can do is move on and try to help other people.” She has advice for people. “Don’t sweat the small stuff; there is so much more to life than getting into a fight over nothing. I have friends who complain about their husbands or complain about their boyfriends and I’m like, ‘yeah I wish.’” Please donate.

but there are certain things they don’t talk about. So it’s not the be-all and end-all, it’s just what do I need and what can I do about it.” He said it isn’t about not loving a family member. “You can love someone, but they don’t have to be in your life. And that’s something that I think is important too.” Kehler, who is a motivational speaker, said the idea for the book came from his talks about stress and wellness. “I would ask people to identify the source of stress and it was coming from within the family system. People felt helpless and they couldn’t do anything about it. And I said, ‘yes you can.’ There is something you can do and they are like ‘no, I can’t do that to family.’” Kehler said he was doing a keynote at an event and was sitting at a table for lunch when he was asked what his next project would be. He mentioned the book. “I had five people at that table. Four of those five people had stories where they had a stressor in the family system. But nobody had ever shared that. “What I am finding is this is an area of shame because of the way family deems family to be. And, so all of a sudden, people are beginning to talk.

This is quite the mixed bag of photos. They were taken in and around the city in the past month or so. The photo of the curious deer was taken in a university field. He posed for a couple of seconds before scampering away. A couple checks the program for a race at Marquis Downs. Here’s hoping they unearthed some winners. Hot air balloons share a similar trajectory on a recent evening. The city always looks beautiful from air, land or sea. Maybe it’s a big stretch to call the river a sea. With the hot weather, the river has been a popular place for water activities such as floating downstream party style. (Photos by Sandy Hutchinson)

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ”

Use the river safely
he Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) acknowledges that residents and visitors are looking for places to cool down in the summer’s heat and might choose the river. If that is the case, the department would like to stress the importance of doing so safely. SFD cautions the community of the dangers associated with using the South Saskatchewan River. As per City of Saskatoon Bylaw No. 4433, swimming in the South Saskatchewan River is prohibited within city limits. Wading, which is the act of walking through a body of water, is permitted unless otherwise posted.
It is important to remember that the river is unpredictable, and that the shore’s edge and riverbed are considered extremely unstable. Obstacles and discarded debris pose an additional threat to those choosing to use the river for recreational purposes. Engaging in the consumption of drugs and/or alcohol when in or around the river presents an increased risk to one’s safety. These substances are capable of influencing your ability to function, and can therefore increase the likelihood of a water-related emergency. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.

I used to wonder what a visible minority was until I became one. A man by the name of Peter Brighteyes was being hunted on a Canada-wide arrest warrant. He was positively identified as the kidnapper and a killer of an Edmonton woman. I just happened to be in that city when there was a frenzy to find Brighteyes. I took a stroll in downtown Edmonton when I noticed people kept looking at me, some with cellphones in their hands. After a few minutes I saw a police cruiser slowly drive by my side and I could see the officers checking me out and then drive away. I watched the news and saw photographs of Peter Brighteyes. I am six feet tall and weigh 220 pounds. Brighteyes was five foot six and about 180 pounds. The only thing we had in common was he was a First Nations man with long hair and high cheekbones. It got so bad I thought about having a T-shirt made that said “NO, I’m not Peter Brighteyes.” The suspect finally turned himself in, was arrested and promptly committed suicide. Once again this was all over the news and still people were phoning me in. Where’s Popeye when you need him? The sad part is this has been happening to me all my life. It’s now my reality to accept this, shrug my shoulders, and move on. What’s important is that I know who I am and never in my life will I be made to feel like I have to justify my existence. With so much racial turmoil going around the world, it’s important to know there’s no one capable to judge. Stand tall and strong even if there are fingers pointing. If a man who was born as the usual suspect or person of interest can walk proudly, then anybody can do it.

(Continued from page 8) urated by Sandra Fraser, LoSt+FoUnD is described by the modern art museum as “a meditation on expectation and promise, meanings that are lost and found in piles of stuff or on empty pages.” The exhibition, which runs until March 3, 2019, features sculpture and works on paper by Roy Arden, Arnaud Maggs, Liz Mago r, Robert Rauschenberg and University of Saskatchewan alumnus Zachari Logan. In a statement sent to the Saskatoon Express, Fraser said an exhibition like LoSt+FoUnD “is playful and a bit intuitive.” A number of the works in the show are recent acquisitions and Fraser needed to consider how to present them. Arden’s work — a series of 20 photographs — is one such example, she said, noting “the memories are separated from the people who hold them.” “The busy fullness of Arden’s photographs contrasts with the apparent emptiness of a number of the other works: Liz Magor, Robert Rauschenberg and Arnaud Maggs,” said Fraser. “Zachari Logan’s sculptures of flowers breathe a certain energy and connect to references of the absent body in the other works. I really love the play of materiality between the works, and how each one makes you look longer.” Rose Bouthillier curated the other new exhibition, Betazoid in a Fog, which runs through Oct. 21. It is the first solo museum exhibition of Walter Scott, an interdisciplinary artist whose work includes writing, video, performance and sculpture. His practice also includes the critically acclaimed Wendy comic strip and graphic novels. Betazoid in a Fog features an installation of Scott’s new and recent sculptures. According to Remai Modern, the exhibi-

tion is filled with traces of the body, such as pieces of clothing, locks of hair, cast limbs and skeletal frames. “Walter Scott has a unique ability to move across different modes of expression. Yet all of his work shares a distinctive energy, a way of nimbly capturing the messy, absurd and personal,” said Bouthillier. “His work in sculpture has really expanded in the past few years, so this exhibition comes at an exciting moment. Scott is designing the entire installation, and the show unfolds as a series of encounters with unruly personas, feelings and states — there is a lot to wrestle with.” BLUEGRASS CELEBRATION If you’re a fan of bluegrass, then you’re in luck: The 13th annual Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old Tyme Music Festival runs from Aug. 17-19 at the Ness Creek site near Big River, Sask. The mandate of the Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old Tyme Music Society Inc., a not-for-profit organization formed in 2006, is to “teach, promote, encourage, foster and cultivate the education, preservation, appreciation, understanding, enjoyment, accessibility, support and performance of traditional instrumental and vocal music in Saskatchewan.” The 2018 festival lineup features many interesting local, national and international acts, including The Barrel Boys, Spencer Branch, the South Carolina Broadcasters, Ben and Joe, The Osmond Davis Band, the Creeland Dancers from Beardy’s and Okemasis Cree Nation, Raven She Hollers, Rugged Little Thing and more. For more information about the festival, including directions to Ness Creek, go online to northernlightsbluegrass.com.

U of S researchers discover new species of frogs
U
By June O’Connor niversity of Saskatchewan researchers José Andrés and Andrés Posso-Terranova have discovered three new species of poisonous dart frogs — tiny and incredibly colourful animals that live deep in the Colombian jungle and appear to be already at risk of extinction. By studying more than 300 dart frogs, the researchers have found that two existing Oophaga frog species actually “hid” three additional groups, and that there are actually a total of five species. The results, just published in the journal Molecular Ecology, will allow the researchers to provide Colombian policy makers with evidence that can inform targeted conservation strategies for these endangered frogs. “Our finding is crucial to study life diversity,” Andrés, biology professor in the U of S College of Arts and Science, said. “Some species may disappear even before we have the chance to study them.” The three new Oophaga frog species, which the researchers have named anchicayensis, andresi and solanensis, stand on their own because of their genetic differences from existing groups. They also show unique colour patterns and size, and live only in certain areas of the northern and northwestern Colombian jungle.
JW081303 James
Colombia is a hotspot for frog populations in general, with around 800 species — a staggering 17 per cent of around 4,600 known frog species in the world. Canada doesn’t even reach one per cent. The researchers’ modern identification approach, which integrates the study of genetics, colour patterns (morphology), and ecological information, has helped them debunk a previous 1976 study that reported the existence only of two dart frogs species — Oophaga histrionica and Oophaga lehmanni. Because it was considered a large group, histrionica frogs were labelled at the time as a “least concern species” in the Colombian government’s conservation list, while the less numerous lehmanni frogs were listed as “critically endangered.” “The government has worked hard on developing conservation programs that have actually helped lehmanni frogs escape extinction,” Posso-Terranova said. “This means conservation strategies work.” He notes that naming new species is the only way for Colombia to include animals in the list of endangered species. “If we don’t know new species exist, how can we protect them? Naming and identifying new species is like currency
This is one of the three new species researchers found in the Colombian jungle. (Photo Supplied) for conservation policies,” he said. Andrés and Posso-Terranova’s discovery might also help put the brakes on the illegal pet trade that threatens the survival of dart frogs. The animals are often sold for more than $2,000 on the international black market because of their beautiful bright colours that mix black with a variation of yellow, orange or red, along with their “dangerous” appeal. The frogs are traditionally used by Colombian Indigenous hunters for poi-

soning blowgun darts. The poison, which the frogs produce because they eat toxic bugs, is harmful to humans only if it enters their bloodstream. “With new policies in place, the government could help poor local populations, who make a living off illegal frog trade, start alternative business such as cultivating flowers or cocoa beans,” said Posso-Terranova. The research is funded by the federal agency NSERC and by a Colciencias grant from the Colombian government.
Save paper towel rolls to clean under the fridge Reens Nerbas Household Solutions
Dear Reena, I would like to vacuum under the fridge without having to move it. Any ideas as to what I can use to get under there? — Verna Dear Verna, Slip an empty paper towel roll inside the end of the vacuum nozzle (make sure that the roll is tight and can’t be sucked into the vacuum). Flatten the paper towel roll end and push it underneath the fridge. Dear Reena, Purple candle wax dripped onto my beige synthetic fibre carpet which has a low nap. What should I do? I have scraped off as much of the wax as I can and await your suggestion as to further treatment. Thank you. — Irene Dear Irene, What you need to do is place a single-layered brown paper bag over the wax and using a warm iron, press the area to lift the wax, being careful not to scorch the carpet. Move the bag around so you don’t push wax further into the carpet. When the wax is a distant memory, use Head and Shoulders Dandruff shampoo and water and blot it over the area to clean the rest of the mess (test on an inconspicuous area first). Rinse with water and blot. Reena Nerbas is a popular motivational presenter for large and small groups; check out her website at reena.ca. Ask a question or share a tip at reena.ca

P.A. National Park celebrates 90 years
rince Albert National Park turned 90 last week and certainly isn’t showing its age. On Aug. 10, 1928, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, along with 3,000 onlookers, stood on a beach to officially open the national park. “In the building of Canadian national life and in the moulding of our national character, it is of the utmost importance that we should cultivate an appreciation of all that is beautiful in our physical environment,” King told the crowd. At the time, the park was dubbed Saskatchewan’s Playground, with activities including swimming lessons, canoeing, camping, picnicking and boat tours, according to a Parks Canada news release. It is still a popular playground. Prince Albert National Park has approximately 240,000 visitors each year, the Parks Canada release said. People come from around the world to take in the beauty of the area. Many will remember the lines of shack tents at the park. During the Depression and then the Second World War, they were relief camps and work camps. Many of the park’s facilities, such as the golf course,
AS081302 Aaron
roads, trails and other facilities were built during this time. Parks Canada Agency protects 3,87 square kilometres of boreal forest and watersheds. This includes the only protected white pelican nesting colony in Canada, the isolated cabins of Grey Owl and Anahareo, and a herd of plains bison. There is plenty of other wildlife in the area, including moose, red foxes, elk, beavers, white-tailed deer, badgers, otters, squirrels, black bears, coyotes and timber wolves. It’s a bird-watcher’s paradise. Among the biggest birds are eagles, great blue herons, loons and ducks. There is good fishing, including the staples of Saskatchewan anglers — walleye, northern pike and perch. Earlier in the month, bilingual signage was unveiled to officially commemorate the fitness park in honour of Gordie Howe, a regular at Waskesiu. Howe won the prestigious Lobstick tournament in 1954 and is said to have driven the green on the par-four first hole twice. Howe once said Waskesiu was his favourite place on earth. Here’s to the park’s next 90 years.

Researcher aims to improve cancer detection, treatment
U
By Shannon Boklaschuk niversity of Saskatchewan researcher Eric Price wants to use chemistry to solve pressing issues in human health. Price, an assistant professor in the College of Arts and Science’s Department of Chemistry, is currently examining how to improve radiopharmaceuticals, the radioactive drugs that can be used to detect or treat cancers. He was recently awarded a $120,000 Establishment Grant from the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF) to support his research as he looks into developing novel radiopharmaceuticals that are more effective and have fewer negative side effects. “The ideal outcome of this work would be the discovery, patenting and clinical translation of a new family of radioactive peptide drugs. The purpose of these new radioactive drugs will be to reduce the side effects of existing drugs while simultaneously improving treatment results for radionuclide therapy, and particularly for difficult-to-treat hypoxic tumours,” said Price, noting that any future clinical trials are a long time away, but would ideally be performed in Saskatoon at Royal University Hospital. “The timeline for this type of work is very long, with drug companies typically taking seven to 15 years from initial discovery to clinical approval for a brand-new agent – and so these are very long-term goals. A realistic goal to achieve by the end of the three years of funding that is generously being provided by this SHRF grant would be the synthesis and identification of two to four new ‘lead’ compounds that could be patented. These compounds would then be brought forward into more advanced pre-clinical, and then clinical, testing.” An existing radioactive peptide agent currently used in cancer detection and treatment is called 68Ga-DOTA-TATE, which was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2016. It is a radioactive peptide that allows clinicians to collect 3D nuclear images via positron
emission tomography (PET) scans of neuroendocrine tumours. Another version of the same compound, 177Lu-DOTA-TATE, was even more recently approved by the FDA in 2018 for radionuclide therapy of the same types of tumours. Price said people are currently working to get these radioactive drugs approved in Canada, and they have been used in Europe for several years. A drawback of the agents, however, is the high uptake and retention in the kidneys, which negatively affects the quality of the PET images and, in some cases, can also cause radiation damage to patients’ kidneys. Price and his research team, which includes post-doctoral fellow Elaheh Khozeimeh Sarbisheh and graduate student Shvan Raheem, are attempting to insert a new chemical linkage into the radioactive peptide drug – like a new molecular chain that tethers the radionuclides to the peptide – which aims to block and reduce the high kidney uptake. “Currently clinicians can give patients other drugs at the same time as these radioactive peptides to try and reduce this kidney uptake and, although effective, the side effects are very unpleasant – and so our approach integrates this into the radioactive drug itself so that only one thing needs to be injected, without side effects,” Price said. “The second part of the project involves a certain state that tumours often attain called hypoxia, which means they have a lack of blood flow and oxygen. This lack of blood flow and oxygen means they are hard to treat with chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy, and even harder to see with these cutting-edge radioactive peptide drugs. Using a different type of molecular chain, we are aiming to attach molecules that will help these peptides to get stuck inside of these hypoxic tumours, therefore increasing the quality of images and also the effectiveness of radionuclide therapy,” he said. “Finally, we are making molecular chains to include fluorescent dyes, which will allow surgeons to visualize tumour

margins in real time while performing surgery, which will take a lot of the guesswork out of how big of an area to remove around a tumour and aims to reduce the rates of recurrence as a result of tumour cells being missed during surgery.” Before coming to the U of S in 2016, Price did a post-doctoral fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York City, where he worked with many different radionuclides for treating and imaging cancer. He moved to Saskatoon to start his research lab in the chemistry department at the U of S and at the Saskatchewan Centre for Cyclotron Sciences (SCCS), which is owned by the U of S and operated and managed by the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation. “One of the great things about nuclear imaging is that everyone ‘gets it’ when they see a PET scan of a person riddled with tumours, and then a follow-up PET scan several months later showing that all of the tumours are gone. Unfortunately, results as dramatic as this aren’t common, but my long-term goals are to make those types of success stories normal rather than exceptional.” (Shannon Boklaschuk is a communications co-ordinator in the College of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan.)
Tkachuk believes in Senate system
T
(Continued from page 1) hen Ken Waschuk recommended Tkachuk to Conservative leader Dick Collver as a party organizer. All of a sudden, his leave of absence from the Saskatoon Separate School Board became a permanent and personal decision to leave teaching. “Bill McKnight came and asked me to be executive director of the PC Party of Saskatchewan in 1975. We put together a very good team. We started to achieve results,” said Tkachuk. In 1982, Devine led a team that won 55 seats, while the NDP was reduced to nine seats — a drop of 35. “In 1986, we also had a strong team. As usual we ran full tilt for 28 days. Allan Blakeney, the NDP leader, got a leaked document in the middle of the campaign which suggested the Devine government was about to privatize SaskTel. The NDP took advantage of it. We won 38 seats; the NDP got 25, including eight in Saskatoon and eight in Regina.” By 1991, the NDP were back in power with 55 seats, while the PCs elected 10. “I think Grant will be remembered as a man who changed Saskatchewan. Under Blakeney, the government was involved in almost all areas of business activity with Crown corporations pervasive. After Grant was in power, the government privatized the resource and energy sector, the benefits of which we are enjoying today. He did much for Saskatoon — the new City Hospital, the College of Agriculture, the building of Saskatchewan Place. Our deficits
were no worse than any other province’s debts. And we did it in a time where we had five years of drought.” Tkachuk worked in the private sector for a while, but kept a close eye on politics. As early as 1976, Tkachuk supported Brian Mulroney in his bid to become the PC leader. He won in 1984 and was the prime minister until 1993. In 1997, Tkachuk was the co-chair of the national Conservative Party, helping restore it to national prominence. He also worked for and witnessed the rebound of the party when Stephen Harper was prime minister from 2006 until 2015. “I think Brian’s greatest impact was in negotiating the Free Trade agreement with the United States. That’s something that Devine and Loughheed of Alberta had long talked about,” he said. Tkachuk made known his interest in being considered for the Senate “but I did not consider myself a top contender. Then the call came from the prime minister on June 8, 1993.” Tkachuk has been a strong presence. He has been chair of five committees — National Finance, Internal Economy, Banking Trade and Commerce, Selection Committee and presently Transport and Communications. He is also vice-chair of four committees and co-chair of the Inter Parliamentary Committee. He has been a member of 10 Senate standing committees and five Senate special committees. He is proudest of his work on anti-terrorism, giving victims of terrorism the ability to sue.
From 2006 to 2011, he was the Conservative Party National Caucus vice-chair and, from 2004 until 2011, Conservative Party chair in the Senate. Not everything went smoothly in the Senate. Charges were laid against three senators about the use of remuneration for housing allowances. The Mike Duffy case stretched out over time. He was acquitted and now sits as an independent. Pamela Wallin, a Saskatchewan senator, was audited although never charged. Tkachuk said her case was one of mismanagement. She repaid the funds. Tkachuk remains a strong believer in the Senate system. He has been in favour of some reform, particularly in the area of the length of term. He sat on the Special Senate Committee on Senate Reform in 20062007. He is presently working on pipeline and energy issues, particularly the contentious Kinder Morgan pipeline. “I was thrilled to become a senator when Mulroney was prime minister. I’m hoping that when I step down, probably after the next federal election, it will be Andrew Scheer as PM who accepts my resignation.” From 2013 to 2016, he battled bladder cancer, “but we caught it early and removed a tumour. I was cancer free by 2017 and I have just cleared my last test.” The Tkachuks have been married since 1965. He and Sharon are parents to Teresa, who is in business and manages fitness studios, and son Brad who works at Arcteryx, a world-renowned clothing manufacturer. They have three grandchildren.
