Alex L. Fallon has been preparing for this job ever since he was 13 years old.
It was then that the new president and CEO of the Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) moved with his family from Saskatoon to the United Kingdom. It was hard to leave his friends, but Fallon quickly found his new life fascinating — and direction-setting.
“I was amazed that people had never heard of Saskatoon, never heard of Sas-katchewan back then,” said Fallon in an interview a week after he took on his new position.
“(I thought) one day I’m going to promote Saskatoon and Saskatchewan. My goal was basically to move back to Saskatoon and work for big companies like Cameco (Corp.) and the Government of Saskatchewan.”
He did, of course, return, but by then he was armed with two degrees from U.K. universities — one in commerce and one in law.
After three career-building positions in business development, he has landed SRE-DA’s top job and hit the ground running on Sept. 10. In his first week, he attended his first board meeting, gave presentations, met with staff and investors, took time for an in-terview and — perhaps a little icing on the
cake — had lunch with Prince Edward. On top of his new SREDA job, Fallon is also British Honorary Consul to the Province of Saskatchewan, the first in the province’s history.
“I saw this (SREDA position) as a dream job for me, and a perfect fit,” said Fallon. He has 15 years of international business economic development experience, serving as marketing manager for Cameco, director of investment attraction for Saskatchewan’s Ministry of the Economy, and vice-presi-dent, investment attraction and managing director (Saskatchewan) for Rainmaker Global Business Development.
With the province, Fallon promoted Sas-katchewan around the globe — attracting
foreign investment from China, India, the United States, the U.K. and Europe as part of the government’s plan to develop invest-ment trade links around the world.
“The SREDA position is similar to that. It’s about promoting Saskatoon and region, bringing in business, helping the economy grow, developing relationships, marketing.
“I was excited to put my name in the hat and even more delighted when I was given the opportunity to accept the offer.”
Along with Fallon’s appointment, Jim George was named the new chief operat-ing officer for SREDA. George had been running SREDA while it searched for a new CEO.

I hope you had a great summer. Mine was pretty darn good. Thank you
for asking. Here are a few thoughts from the summer that was. Pretend you are reading one of those family updates people used to send at Christmas.
***** My father-in-law, Des
Gore-Hickman, turned 85 in August. One of the traditions on his birthday for the past 10 or 15 years has been playing a game of touch football in the park in front of his home.
As his grandchildren became adults, they have spread out around the country a bit. Despite having only two of his nine grandsons at this year’s birthday, a mini game of football was played to keep the tradition alive.
It was more a game of catch this year, but it brings back memories of all the wonderful times spent at his home as the boys were growing up.
Des’ birthday has long been the social event of the summer. One of the most memorable was his 60th, when the Shrine drum corps marched down his street and into his backyard. A great surprise, but a hefty bar tab.
That birthday is also memorable in that Sandy got a pass from St. Paul’s Hospital to attend. She had given birth to our middle son, Brandon, a couple of days earlier and still hadn’t been discharged.
For Des’ 75th, we did family photos. It is sad that one of those in the group shot, Sandy’s brother-in-law, Mel Diamond, died a num-ber of years ago. Cherish our memories.
***** Remember in June when I
wrote that my sons gave me golf clubs for Father’s Day?
I used them for five nine-hole games and went to the range a couple of times. My
golf game is horrible, but the company was great. The best round was when I played nine holes with all three of my sons. Another memorable round for my two oldest was playing nine holes with my brother, Dean.
Dean was in town from Toronto for our mother’s 80th birthday. I walked the last hole with them. Dean hadn’t played golf in 15-plus years, but man does he have a sweet swing.
As I approach retirement, golfing again is probably going to be a good social activity. I am anxious to sit with the other old guys in Arizona and talk about our prostates.
***** I took a week off in July. I basically
did nothing. Golfed once. Cut the lawn once. Read. I might try it again this fall.
***** I developed yet another bad habit
this summer. I rediscovered Wine Gums. Sandy brought a bag home one day. She was more a Wine Gummer
than me in our younger years. I put the bag on the end table on my
side of the bed. Before falling asleep, I read and chew away. I was going through the candy, with a bit of help from Sandy, at a pace of a bag every two days. Not good for the teeth or stomach.
A couple of Wine Gum observations, if I may: 1. Those in bulk bins don’t measure up to Maynards. 2. Sandy keeps putting the green ones back in the bag. 3. Shop the sales.
***** As I flipped through the pages of
summer editions, I realized how many great people I have met in recent months, and the passion they have for what they do.
I am also thankful that pretty much the whole gang of columnists and free-lancers are still here, more than three years after our launch.
Elaine Hnatyshyn and I sat down and chatted last week. I hate to admit this, but it was the first time we had seen each other since she signed on in June 2011. That’s not good, but her columns continue to be great.
It was wonderful that Ken Noskye was back in town for a few weeks. We hadn’t seen each other in two years. He is working on an autobiography now. Even knowing many of the stories, I can’t wait to see them all stitched together.
***** Here’s hoping we have a long fall
and a short winter.

It was the summer of 2009 when 11-year-old Kylie Zirk was looking for a new sport. Already a longtime avid
softball player, swimmer and diver, Zirk was ready for a new challenge.
“So I joined a two week Learn to Kayak camp with the Saskatoon Sprint Kayak Club,” said Zirk, now a Grade 11 student at Tommy Douglas Collegiate, who is training for her third world kayak-ing championship event. “I really enjoyed the camp, but it was a summer thing, so it was another few months before I could do anything with this experience. I found my current club, the Saskatchewan Whitewa-ter Kayak Club (SWKC), and my coach, Brendan Curson, in January of 2010.”
After what was Zirk’s first round of training in those early months of 2010, her coach organized a trip for her and the SWKC to travel to Kananaskis to experi-ence a whitewater slalom course.
“I soon learned that the South Saskatch-ewan is a nice friendly river, and whitewa-ter is almost non-existent on it, along with the majority of Saskatchewan rivers,” said
Zirk, with an air of maturity that surpasses her 16 years. “Taking the opportunity to go to Kananaskis to paddle, I had no clue what I was in for. Even though I hit the water too many times to count that week, it was then that I realized my passion for whitewater kayaking. I fell in love.”
Zirk fell hard, training non-stop with her coach year round, in a Saskatoon swimming pool and in the gym. At the ripe old age of 12, she was off to Colorado for the Junior Olympics, where she spent two and a half glorious weeks training, run-ning rivers and competing. She has since participated in world championship events all over the world, including Slovakia and Australia. She is currently training to par-ticipate in the 2015 under-23 whitewater slalom world championships in Brazil next summer.
“The atmosphere in slalom paddling events are really amazing. It’s like a fam-ily wherever you go,” said Zirk, reflecting on her competitive experiences. “Every-one cheers for each other. It’s not like hockey — I have two brothers — where parents are always going at each other. Slalom paddling is such a welcoming
community, great to be a part of.”What is whitewater slalom? Accord-
ing to the International Canoe Federation, it is a competitive sport where the aim is to navigate a canoe or a kayak through a course of hanging gates on river rapids — manmade or natural — in the fastest time possible.
“Most of the slalom courses are con-trolled,” explained Zirk. “Most of the time, if you know what you’re doing, it’s pretty safe. I can’t think of a certain circumstance where I’ve become really close to injuring myself.
“In slalom boats, you can roll them, flip them back up,” she said. “If you don’t know how to roll, or circumstances make you unable to roll, you have to get out of your boat, and drag your boat and paddles to the side. It certainly helps to be a strong swimmer. It also requires a lot of upper-body strength — arm strength, being able to pull, and core strength. Though it does require some legwork, too, it really engages your whole body.”
In addition to her paddle training, Zirk hits the gym three to four times a week. In the winter she travels to training camps
in the southern United States, in order to take advantage of the year-round warm temperatures.
Of course, all this hard work and physi-cal training is in addition to Zirk’s full-time high school course load.
“I’m constantly catching up on home-work and trying to make time to see my friends,” said Zirk. “Last year I was gone probably half the semester for paddling. It gets difficult and pretty stressful. I try to get as much work done ahead of time as I can, but it can be tough to get work done when I’m focusing on training. My teachers at Tommy Douglas have been really amazing, working with me and my schedule. That’s made it a lot easier.”
Zirk says the time spent away from home is not easy on her parents, but they all know the life skills she has gained so far are invaluable.
“It’s definitely been quite the learning experience,” she said. “I was in Slovakia for three weeks, the longest time I’ve ever been away from home. I was living with another girl, cooking for myself. Our coaches were there to coach.

“We are thrilled to welcome Alex to our organization and delighted that Jim will
continue with SREDA in his new and expanded role,” said Bruce Richet, chair of SREDA, when the announcements were made. “Together, these executives bring a blend of fresh insight and leadership conti-nuity, which will help our region reach its full economic potential.”
LOOKING FORWARDLeadership at SREDA has been a bit up
and down over the last few years, includ-ing some short presidential tenures and the recent departure of Tim LeClair, who was charged for not filing tax returns.
“There have been several changes in the past,” acknowledged Fallon. “I think it’s important going forward that there is a lot of stability. We have a new team here, and I think we can do that.
“It’s an exciting role. It’s a role I’ve been interested in for a long time. It’s a role that has a lot of potential. SREDA has a lot of potential, and obviously there is no better time to promote Saskatoon and region than now. I see an exciting future.
“I have confidence we have a great team here than can rise to the challenge and we’re looking forward to delivering results to our investors.”
It’s important, said Fallon, to dem-onstrate results. For example, he plans to measure how much economic growth SREDA can create for each dollar of invest-ment. That will be important in helping the community understand the importance of the authority and its value, he said. SREDA will also deliver more economic reports, forecasts and analysis.
“I definitely see that as a role for SREDA,” said Fallon. “There is definitely an economic forecasting and analysis role . . . and, going forward, I see that as an increased focus for us, because I think that information is valuable for decision-making, whether it’s companies or local governments.”
Among those analytical pieces is SREDA Insights, which provides sector analysis, performance indicators and other information to regional business.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOKWhile these are early days for Fallon, he
does provide some insights into what his regional economic focus will be.
“SREDA and the Saskatoon region need to focus on steady growth so it doesn’t go into this boom-bust cycle, and I think that’s what we’ve seen, is pretty steady growth.
“In order for that to continue, it’s all about promoting the region, attracting new
companies, but also attracting the infrastruc-ture we need for that growth,” including people and investors. “You can only grow as fast as you can keep up with the growth.”
A higher recognition of Saskatoon and region outside of Saskatchewan, which has developed over the past several years, will help achieve SREDA’s goals, he said.
“When you travel to B.C., Alberta, On-tario and even outside the country, people are now aware of Saskatoon and area,” said Fallon.
The other positive thing about Saskatoon and region, says Fallon, is its diversifica-tion. It is not focused on one sector, such as agriculture, life sciences, mining or manufacturing.
“It’s actually all of those now. A lot of places don’t have that. We’ve seen that in Ontario with the car manufacturers. When that declined, people started losing jobs.
“That’s exciting, that we have this complement of key sectors. That makes us more resilient.”
The often-discussed economic triad of food, fuel and fertilizer forms the basis of Fallon’s optimism.
“That affects the economy in the Saska-toon region. Those are products, if you like, that are in demand around the world.”
Business retention and expansion is also important, said Fallon, as will be encourag-ing small entrepreneurs to grow — perhaps out of home offices and into retail locations. To that end, SREDA manages Square One, a relatively new organization that helps entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan out of its Saskatoon office.
SREDA also has, in conjunction with the City, a tax abatement program that Fallon says needs to be promoted more assertively.
“That’s one example of a program which is underused by business in Saskatoon. We want to develop more tools like that.”
PERSONALLYFallon is married, and has a five-year-old
son and a three-year-old daughter. Asked what he does on his own time, Fallon says there is none right now, after work and fam-ily – and that honorary consul position.
The consul position was created because Saskatchewan does not have a consulate, unlike larger provinces, he said.
“But they still want a presence here, because there is a lot of trade between the province and the U.K.,” said Fallon.
Fallon is very focused on the trade piece, an interest that started in his early teens. Now he has the chance to revel in it, on behalf of Saskatoon and region.
“I want to make SREDA the best eco-nomic development team in Canada. That’s my goal,” he said.
SREDA has a great new team: Fallon
(Continued from page 3)
It was up to me to take care of myself the rest of the time. Now it’s easier every time.”Whitewater kayak competition is not
cheap, and Zirk could not do it without her sponsors, which include Icon Construc-tion, Parkland Consulting, GMR Electric and Sherwood Chevrolet.
“There isn’t a lot of funding for kayak-ing in Saskatchewan,” said Zirk. “It gets a little better at the senior level, but not by much. Sponsorship is really appreciated. It really helps. I have my own kayak and canoe and, of course, my paddles, which do break. I always have to have a spare. Plus there’s all my gear: the spray deck, helmet and special clothing.”
While Zirk’s dream is to make a career
out of paddling, like so many young Canadian athletes, her ultimate goal is the Olympics.
“Not only to get there, but to medal in 2020 in Tokyo,” she said. “I’m taking it as it comes. I’m away this all summer for training. Am I going to have to move away for schooling to be able to train full time? Potentially to Ottawa, which is where the high-performance training facility is. It’s not open year round, but it’s better than nothing.”
While whitewater kayaking may seem like a lonely sport, Zirk says it’s about way more than just her.
“Sure, paddling is an individual sport, but it’s a team sport at international events. Your team is your country. My team is Canada.”

Question: Why has there been a delay in granting a licence to the owner of the company that would like to offer Segway rentals? It seems we’re behind the times on this.
Mayor Atchison: There are a couple of issues here. I am told SGI at this time will not licence these motorized vehicles. They would probably have to cross a roadway to get to the MVA trail. The City is looking at Segways, and where a rental location might work. The other part of the equation is the Meewa-sin Valley Authority trail system. That is such a popular trail that through the downtown area now, it is over capacity. It is difficult to get all the pedestrians and cyclists on there, never mind motorized vehicles. What I believe we need to do is double the width of the paved trail over a substantial area of the trail, especially downtown. That would help make it safer for everyone. If we are over capacity already, why would you add more conges-tion onto these trails right now? The City of Saskatoon puts over $1 million a year into maintaining the trails. That’s just on the maintenance end of it. We are invest-ing another $717,000 in taxpayer dollars that go directly to the MVA.
Question: What will have to happen for the entrepreneur or others to get a licence for Segway rentals?
Mayor Atchison: Governments don’t always move fast. I am hoping this will have a resolution in the foreseeable future, so we can have the Segways here, too. They point to other cities that have them now. But I don’t think that happened over-night. It’s unfair to say, “They have them there, so why don’t we?” As I said earlier,
I am told that SGI will not even licence the motorized vehicles at this time.
Question: I would like to know why there is a school zone on Clarence Avenue at Wilson Crescent, in front of St. Martin’s United Church. There isn’t a school there. The school is on Wilson Crescent, two blocks away. I live in the area and drive through there all the time, but don’t see a lot of kids before or after school.
Mayor Atchison: I was driving down Clarence Avenue this morning and was right by there. There used to be a daycare there at one time. The school is two blocks away, and parents may have asked to have it extended to that particular point. I should mention that neighbours living on Clar-ence are really concerned about safety and security, and the speed of vehicles going through that area. Getting vehicles to slow down there isn’t the worst thing in the world.
Question: Shouldn’t the City’s needs come before its wants? Shouldn’t fixing potholes and dealing with other issues come before making streets look pretty?
Mayor Atchison: I certainly appreciate and understand the reader’s point of view. By the same token, we still need to have the City looking clean. We are investing $50 million this year into streets, sidewalks and back alleys. Over the next five years I want to see an investment of $50 million each year for a total investment of $250 million. We will require a mill-rate impact of about 2.92 per cent again next year. I think people this year have seen what the City was able to do with that 2.92 per cent dedicated to roads, back lanes and sidewalks. We want to be able to carry on with that.
I think we can make some significant improvements to our local streets. There is nothing more frustrating than hitting a pothole in front of your home. We want to be able to get to the street in front of your home and get those issues taken care of. I was on Brent Loucks’ program on Rawlco (CKOM 650 at 7:15 a.m. every Tuesday), and Brent was saying friends of theirs were in from another community saying they can’t believe how smooth the roads are in Saskatoon compared to other com-munities.
I think people are seeing what we have been able to do this year. We just need to keep going forward. I also want to send a message to the road construction and paving industry that Saskatoon is open for business in a big way when it comes to investments in infrastructure. This a long, extended period of investment into our streets, our back alleys and our sidewalks, so companies can look at making sig-nificant investments in their businesses to keep this moving forward.
Question: Will the 2.92-per-cent increase cover off years four and five?
Mayor Atchison: At budget delibera-tions last December council agreed to the 2.92-per-cent increase for this year and it was clearly stated by the adminis-tration that we would need that increase in this budget and the 2016 budget. That would get us a baseline funding. What transpired in December was we had some additional funds we took from our land sales and put that in the road rehabilitation budget. It was one-time funding from the surplus we had in land sales. We don’t have that each and every year, so we want to be able to build it into the base. So over a period of time we will never have less than $50 million budgeted per year to be invested into our roads, sidewalks and back alleys.

I have three bull stories. These are true stories that just happen to be about
bulls and not what comes out of them.
I have a farmer friend in Biggar. His operation was get-ting big enough to start breed-ing cows for the market. He travelled to the United States for top breeding bulls. On his way back to Canada, he had to register them. One of the first questions he was asked was for the names of the bulls. He quickly thought of two names for registration. The third he named K.N. I asked him why, and he said I was the first person he could think of that was full of it.
At first I felt honoured he would name such a fine animal after me. After thinking about it for a while, I realized I may have been insulted. That was more about 10 years ago, and to this day old K.N. is still pumping out calves. So, in a way, I guess it was an honour.
Another story is when the Saskatche-wan Penitentiary was having a rodeo. This was a time when prison rodeos were a big thing. What made it fun was there were only a couple of inmates who had ever been in a rodeo. The rest had no idea what they were doing.
I was one of the volunteers who helped out with the coordination. My first respon-sibility was to find out how many inmates wanted to ride in each event. I posted sign-up sheets in the central dome where all the inmates would pass by.
The following day I went to check and was surprised to see how many had signed up for the different events. There were more than 60 signed up for the bareback riding, more than 50 for saddle-bronc riding and about the same number for
bull riding. Just for the hell of it, I put up a sign for wild bull milking. It attracted about 40 signups. Of course there’s no such thing as wild bull milking, but could you just imagine: “Go boy, here’s a bucket. Go out there and milk that wild bull.”
As it turned out, the prison rodeo was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. You’ll have to wait for my book to hear the rest of the stories.
My late mother loved rodeos. In the small town where I grew up, the rodeo was the big event of the year. One summer day, we were driving through a small prairie town. There was a billboard that announced there was a rodeo that day. I asked her if she wanted to go. She did, so we pulled over.
While we were there, an announcement was made saying it was the last chance for anyone to sign up for amateur bull riding. I decided to surprise my mom by enter-ing. When my name was announced, she almost fell over.
I told the person I was with to make sure to take a photo. I didn’t care how long I stayed on the bull. I wanted a souvenir picture. I got on the big animal and I have never felt so much power. So much so, that I blacked out.
The next thing I knew I was on the ground and being told to get up and make a run for it. I looked at the clock and all I could see was an 8.
“Oh my God,” I said to myself. “I made it the full eight seconds.”
I went back to check on the photos and was told there were none. There wasn’t enough time, because I only rode the ani-mal for 1.8 seconds.

Meridian Developments’ newest condominium project, Sequoia, is fast reaching completion.
The company is using two show suites in its neighbouring sister condo, Aria, to give potential buyers an idea of what’s on offer.
Sales in the 69-unit Evergreen devel-opment are going well, with more than 20 already sold. Sequoia offers a range of one-bedroom, 711-square-foot suites to two-bedroom options, ranging from 906 to 1,246 square feet.
Prices range from $229,500 to $389,000.
The two-bedroom, two-bath show suite has a kitchen fitted with glass accent cabinets, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. There are six Maytag ap-pliances included in the purchase price.
The master bedroom has a large show-er-equipped en suite with double vessel sinks, and attractive and practical built-in frosted-glass wardrobe closets.
The building has central air. Stan-dard in all units are in-floor heating and nine-foot-high ceilings. Third-floor suites have ceilings of 10 feet. Most two-bedroom units have a parking stall in the heated underground garage, plus
one in the surface lot. The show suites are located at the Aria

Drain beets, reserving 1/4 cup liquid, and slice into 1/2-inch sliv-
ers. Add onions and toss. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook
the sugar, mustard and reserved 1/4 cup liquid until dissolved. Add
vinegar and bring to boil; remove from heat and cool. Pour over the
beet slices and onions, toss and refrigerate for four to six hours.
Remove from refrigerator and serve at room temperature.
BEET SALAD
1 -16 ounce can whole beets 1/4 cup red onion, diced 1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
The beet crop is great this year, and beets are so good for us. They have often been called one of the world’s healthiest foods. Beets are a unique source of phytonutrients called betalains, which have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxification support. Cook beets with the
skins on for the least amount of time to become fork tender (depending on the size). Studies show the concentration of betalains is diminished by heat. In our third book, Breast Wishes, there is a simple recipe for beet salad calling for canned beets, but it is even better made with two cups of freshly cooked beets. This dish is such a nice complement to a baked ham meal.

It was somewhat amusing to read the Toronto Star’s breathless report, published
last week, detailing the Govern-ment of Saskatchewan’s lobby-ing efforts in Washington.
The Star, despite its best efforts, did not have a scoop. The provincial government an-nounced back in 2009 it had re-tained the U.S. law firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough (NMRS) to promote Saskatche-wan’s economic interests (a.k.a. Keystone) in Washington, specifically with the powers-that-be in the halls of Congress. Yes, it’s a law firm, but let’s call NMRS what it is: a powerful lobby group.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Unlike many, I don’t believe lobbyists are evil.
Let’s say you have an extremely im-portant issue that needs to get in front of a powerful decision-maker who can influence the outcome of said issue.
Where would you start? Would you start writing letters? Sending
emails? Leaving voicemails or harassing personal assistants?
Yeah, you and a bazillion other people with issues as equally important to them, and an arsenal of the exact same tactics. Politicians and policy-makers deal with – actually, they have gatekeepers who deal with – a tsunami of individuals and organi-zations contacting them every day. You are a drop in that tsunami.
Now let’s say you found out that you had a friend who was close to your decision-maker. This is a friend who could make one phone call and have that decision-maker’s ear. Even better, a friend so close to the subject that they can arrange to have you meet with him or her in person. What would you do?
I’m betting you’d remember who your friends are, real quick.
The reality is that all a lobbyist, or a lobbyist group, does is maintain a gold-plated contact list of decision-makers. As, or more, importantly, they also maintain the relationship with those decision-makers. A relationship that means they can make one phone call and get you in front of who you need to be in front of – like, for example, John Kerry.
If you’re not lucky enough to have a friend who is also a lobbyist, guess what? You can buy your friends.
Yes, American lobbyists make donations to American political campaigns. Have you ever seen the donation list of a Saskatche-wan political campaign? I hate to break it to you, but every single one of those donors, be they individual or corporate, are making that donation in exchange for something. It is a rare breed who donates to every politi-cal party equally, or simply out of the good-ness of their heart. That “something” may not be defined at campaign time but, at the
very least, the donation is made under the pretense that further-ing that political party’s coffers is in the donor’s best interests.
The point in all this is that registered American lobbyists are some of the most transparent activists out there.
NMRS is no exception, as evidenced in part by the fact that David Wilkins, the former U.S. ambassador to Canada and a staunch George W. Bush-style Republican, is an important
member of their team. In part because of Wilkins, the organization clearly has no problems getting the Saskatchewan govern-ment into meetings with other Republicans. Perhaps it’s not completely helpful, given that the president of the United States is a Democrat, but it doesn’t appear to be hurt-ing much, either. Premier Brad Wall has definitely wedged our wee province into the doors of more than a few senators to pitch our case on energy and trade issues and, yes, the Keystone pipeline.
Just as important are the results you don’t see, a point Wall made in his 2009 comments to the CBC, when the NMRS contract was announced.
“Often it might be what’s avoided,” Wall said regarding some of the difficul-ties in measuring the value of what NMRS does for the province. “If Saskatchewan has played a proactive role against things like country-of-origin labelling or the softwood thing, there won’t be any hard evidence of it, because we’ll have avoided a potential problem.”
I hear that. As a publicist, my job is to set my own hair, and hopefully my client’s hair, on fire before something really bad happens on the 6 o’clock news. If I do my job right, the client becomes aware of the potential consequences of their stupidity, negligence or general lack of insight, and that news story never runs. In order to be right, I can never be proved wrong. Hence the crux of another key aspect of the rela-tionship with NMRS — ensuring potential road blocks are cleared away before they ever slow us down.
To that end I agree with the premier’s defence of the NMRS contract, into which he was forced in response to the Star’s not-really-that-big of a story.
“We’re not going back to the days where Saskatchewan is not engaged in promot-ing the province or trying to get access to decision-makers that affect the lives of Saskatchewan people.”
Amen to that. For the last, oh, two generations, Saskatchewan has sat on the sidelines — a wallflower at the Canadian and North American school dance. Now we’ve grown up a bit. We’re working out. Time to make up some lost ground. If that means buying our way into the cool club until we have the entourage to elbow our way in on our own, so be it.

It’s been your go-to online marketplace to buy and sell unique, handmade gifts and goods. It’s a place where shop-pers can browse millions of creative and unique items, from
art to furniture to vintage fashion and more.It’s Etsy, one of the world’s foremost online destinations for
artists and curators to sell their handmade and vintage products. Now you can shop Etsy in person at the inaugural Etsy Made
in Canada pop-up market taking place Sept. 27 at Le Relais in Saskatoon.
“Etsy is always looking for new ways bring our online market place offline and in front of our customers, especially those who haven’t yet heard of it,” said Erin Pell, captain of Etsy’s Sas-katchewan Team. “Having events like Made in Canada allows us to showcase the incredible talent and quality of product that our sellers make, in a way that you can’t always accomplish via the web.
“All our Saskatoon pop-up market vendors already have Etsy shops online,” explained Pell. “They’re selling clothing and accessories for children and women, glass work, a variety of jewelry, handspun yarn, children’s toys, handmade bags, rag rugs, photography and artwork. They are coming from all over Saskatchewan, and one is even visiting from Calgary.”
The concept for this event was created by Etsy Canada, with the objective of connecting regional Etsy sellers to each other, and to shoppers in their communities. Each city’s pop-up market has been planned, promoted, curated and coordinated by the local Etsy team captain. A sneak peek at Saskatoon’s list of participants reveals vendors that create everything from copper jewelry, knitwear and Polaroid pendants to baby booties and home décor items.
The Saskatoon event is now full, but Pell is hopeful that there will be new pop-up markets scheduled soon for the city.
“The first Saskatoon Etsy Made in Canada pop-up market is going to be taking place on Sept. 27, at the Le Relais, which is located at 308 Fourth Ave. North, just off 25th Street East,” said Pell. “We will be opening the doors at 10 a.m. and it will run until 5 p.m. Admission is free. The first 20 shoppers through the door will receive an Etsy Saskatchewan tote bag.”

to be held Sept. 27As I see the signs supporting door- to-door delivery of the Royal mail, I am reminded of another who
regularly comes to my door, usually every other Saturday around 10:30 a.m.
For the past 20 years, members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses have been visiting my home. Some of you may wonder why I would let that happen since being visited by JW Pioneers is something that many have been taught to avoid. Which reminds me of what a comedian said not too long ago: “I was so lonely I was praying for a JW to stop by.”
My experience has been quite different. Being raised in a Roman Catholic home, my association with other faiths was quite limited.
When I became a teacher at River Heights School, I met the McKerlies, a respectful, loving, supportive family who happened to be Jehovah’s Witnesses. On the night of the family life-parents meeting, Mrs. McKerlie approached me, outlining the JW approach to life, love and marriage. She kindly told me that nor-mally they would pull their children out of such school courses, but they trusted me and just wanted me to be aware of their position.
Next I met Mona, beautiful, graceful and a Jeho-vah’s Witness. Mona shared with me that her religion didn’t celebrate birthdays, not in the way that my family did. Something struck a chord with me. I’ve always thought that birthdays bring on incredible self-indulgence. Creators of The Berenstain Bears had it right when they described birthday overload in Too Much Birthday.
Over the years, I have listened to many people describe how they had turned the JWs away, hid from them, not even answering the door when they came knocking. Some feign interest; others simply shut the door.
All of it seemed a little too harsh for me, and piqued my interest in the people themselves.
That’s when I met Eileen, now more than 20 years ago. She came to my door on a Saturday morning when I was somewhere between cleaning my house, dressing to go teach aerobics or getting ready to drive my sons to hockey. It was insane, and along came Eileen with The Watchtower in hand.
There was a calming, regal effect about her. Often
wearing pearls, she would smile easily at my messy and involved world. We connect-ed immediately and she had no problem that I was not buying into the JW doctrine, though I told her I had no problem with her dropping by.
Years went on, and as they did our friendship grew. Soon Eileen was bringing friends by on her stops, always hugging me and saying to her friends, “Can’t you just feel the family in this house?” Eileen seemed to like the crazy chaos of four sons and me. She brought a moment of sanity to it.
One day a lovely senior lady came to my door saying that Eileen couldn’t come by as she was sick. She had ovarian cancer. This lady had been asked to continue to visit with me. I had just been adopted by another force of JW love.
The following Saturday morning at 11, having found out where Eileen and her husband lived, I visited her home, bringing my message to her. I remember walking in to her living room, giving her flowers and a hug. Tears were brimming in my eyes. I thanked her for visiting so often, helping to make my life that much better.
I wanted to let her know that her time, her hugs and her message to me had made a difference in my life. She had made a difference.
Now I have inherited new JW friend, Audrey. We are closing in on a decade together. We smile, hug, share what’s new in our lives and give one another a little loving support. Yes, she leaves The Watchtower, but only as a gesture of her work and to leave me with some reading. Somehow her sense of being makes my life easier and far richer.
When visiting New York, I look across to the Brooklyn side where it is hard to miss the huge neon Watchtower sign, citing the home of the JW commu-nity. I think of my connections from my doorstep in Saskatoon to the immense reality of the belief system. It all makes my world seem smaller.
Religion aims to teach us of an acceptance of all. For me that leaves the potential for a whole bunch of loving in the world. Rather than the negative experi-ence of dodging the door-to-door callers, my response has yielded me years of support and friendship.
Just what I was praying for!
Opening the door let love into my life

The Amati Quartet and Saskatoon Children’s Choir are shifting their
concert performances to Knox United Church this season. The Saskatoon Symphony Or-chestra will also use the venue for its pre-holiday presentation of Handel’s Messiah.
Marla Cole, who is leading the current Amati Quartet into its 12th season, couldn’t be happier.
“The church has great acoustics. It is the perfect size for our audiences and is located down-town. And the people at Knox have been very welcoming,” she said.
Cole and her partners, along with nine guest artists, will open the Amati season with a Thanksgiving Monday (Oct. 13) double bill at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Their program will reflect works by Bach, Vivaldi and Dvorak.
“The size at Knox was a factor. There are enough seats to fit our needs of a 500-plus number. The church also satisfies a situation where we have developed an af-ternoon audience for concerts as well. We have discovered in the past that there are concertgoers who do not want to go out in the evening, especially in the winter, and many of them are seniors who live downtown,” said Cole.
The three organizations are vacat-ing Third Avenue United Church, which was their home for programming until the building was acquired by a Regina businessperson.
“We didn’t even think twice about leaving Third Avenue,” said Cole. “The last concert we held at Third Avenue was a virtual disaster. The building was double-booked. We were upstairs and a Brazilian drum event was held down-stairs. That broke the camel’s back. We shouldn’t have to compete against the vibrations of drum beats. We are classical musicians and we play soft dynamics.
“We were thankful that Knox was available. The fact still remains that Saskatoon needs a concert hall which can accommodate 1,000 or less.”
The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra was unable to get a guarantee of Decem-ber dates from Third Avenue.
“It traditionally had been the home of the Handel’s Messiah performance,” said Mark Turner, the symphony’s executive director. “We needed to know in January and couldn’t get an answer. We’re very happy to be in Knox. That space will also allow us to do something different.”
The symphony will present the concert version of The Messiah on Friday, Dec. 12, at 7:30 p.m., and follow up the next afternoon at 2 p.m. with what they call a Singalong Messiah.
Third Avenue United Church was
made available for a Russian-influenced pavilion at Folkfest in August. There are contin-ued suggestions that a dinner theatre might be part of the future plans for the venue.
Knox is also the home of most performances by the Saskatoon Chamber Singers. They will perform the usual Remembrance Day tribute on Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. And, after doing a perfor-mance of Rejoice: A Festival of Lessons and Carols at
Christ Church on Dec. 14 at 2 p.m., they will be back in the hall at Knox on Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m.
Phoebe Voigts, her staff and three chil-dren’s choirs are quickly adjusting to re-hearsing in the new space at Knox United Church and will present their concerts there: the Christmas production on Nov. 28-29 and a spring event on April 17.
For 18 years, the choir has operated out of Third Avenue. One of the choir’s biggest needs was the space for three rehearsals a week, as well as the concert dates and the storage space.
“We are sad to leave the many experi-ences we enjoyed at Third Avenue United Church,” said Voigts. “But we feel ex-cited and privileged to be welcomed so warmly to the beauty and rich acoustics of Knox.”
There are three elements to the choir: a preparatory choir for ages seven to nine, an apprentice choir for ages eight to 13 and a concert choir for ages 12 to 16.
Important to the concert choir this year is that it will be travelling to the European Choir Games in Magdeburg, Germany, from July 1-14, 2015. Voigts, its artistic director, says the time between now and next July is being considered what she calls The Heart Sings Peace.
“The repertoire and experiences of The Heart Sings Peace are focused on shared artistic expression,” said Voigts. “The choir will use the international language of music to build new and meaningful understandings between each other, within our community and across the globe.”
The concert choir will get a chance to explore the culture, history, art, music and inspired architecture of Germany.
The members will go to the Thom-askirche in Leipzig, where J.S. Bach was a director of music and where Felix Mendelssohn was a conductor of the Gerandhaus Orchestra. They will get a guided tour of the Bergen Belson con-centration camp education centre, where Dr. Dagmar Lieblova will talk about the importance of promoting social justice and tolerance. They will also perform two benefit concerts in historic cathedrals and take day trips to Berlin and Cologne.

Maestro Victor Sawa of the Saska-toon Symphony Orchestra says the opening notes of Beethoven’s
Symphony No. 5 are ones “that everybody knows and everybody wants to hear live.”
The orchestra will open its season on Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at TCU Place with an all-Beethoven salute.
“It opens with the four most-heard notes in music,” Sawa said in a news re-lease. “But people need to hear the whole thing because there’s so much more to it.”
The piece’s opening is a calling card for classical music, and the symphony is widely considered the most loved by audiences. Sawa noted “everyone should experience it live.”
Paired with Symphony No. 5 is the monumental Piano Concerto No. 5, where the SSO will be joined by pianist Angela Cheng. Cheng is known around the globe for her Beethoven performances.
“She is the perfect blend of amazing talent and really deep emotion. This will be memorable,” said Sawa.
The SSO has a lot to celebrate with its opening night. The orchestra recently an-nounced that after many years of financial difficulties, the 2013-2014 season was financially solid. Adding to the excitement is the news that subscription sales are up.
“This is a big season for the SSO,” said executive director Mark Turner. “There is such an energy and buzz around the or-chestra right now. We have seen increased ticket sales, our Patrons Club is bursting at the seams, and we’re announcing a special ticket offer for a young audience.”
The SSO will have 100 tickets for music lovers 25 and under for $15 (taxes and fees included) available the day of the Master Series concerts.
“We wanted to find a way to make it accessible to young people to hear these great concerts.”

Saskatoon’s Co-op Wine Spirits Beer store is on a mission to continue to give Saskatchewan people a
new experience when they are purchas-ing liquor. So partnering with the city’s longest-running liquor trade show felt like a natural fit.
From Sept. 25 to Sept. 27, Saskatoon’s TCU Place will play host to the 2014 Pre-mier Showcase, with Co-op Wine Spirits Beer as the new title sponsor.
“We are excited be able to showcase some products that are currently only available at our store,” said Dawn Wr-eford, manager of liquor procurement and marketing at Co-op Wine Spirits Beer store, which is located in the city’s Blairmore neighbourhood. “We’re going to introduce some fine craft and imported beer to the show and offer a couple of fun and educational seminars that are similar to those that we regularly host in our store. Many people in Saskatoon don’t even know we’re here, so partnering with Premier is helping us to spread the word.”
The name isn’t the only thing that’s new. The new Premier Showcase main-stage will feature nightly entertainment by performers such as Kelly Read. Beam Suntory mixologist Steve Benson will present demos each evening.
There’s also boozy fun and festivities in the days leading up to Premier Showcase.
“We have a great selection — more than 300 — choices in craft and imported beer at our store,” explained Wreford. “We have partnered with a number of suppli-ers to bring their beer to Premier and to promote their products at Co-op in Sep-tember. Until Oct. 9, we will have a huge beer sale and display at the front of our
store, including brands such as Red Racer, Picaroons and Unibroue.”
Wreford is thrilled that sommelier Anthony Taylor of Maison Gabriel Meffre in the Rhône Valley, France, is journey-ing to Saskatoon specifically for Premier Showcase. Taylor’s wines will be featured at the 2014 Winemakers Dinner at Truffles Bistro on Sept. 24, which will consist of a five-course meal with food/wine pairings, as well as at Premier each evening and at Co-op Wine Spirits Beer on Sept. 27 at 2 p.m. Tickets are still available for the dinner at Truffles and for the tasting on Saturday.
Co-op Wine Spirits Beer will be hosting two seminars at Premier: Guess the Ex-pensive Wine on Sept. 26 and Craft Beer Culture on Sept. 27. Both seminars start at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $25, plus GST. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m to the general public.
“Guess the Expensive Wine is one of the most popular seminars that we offer in our tasting room,” explained Wr-eford. “Participants blind taste six wines, while we discuss the characteristics of the wines and the market components that play into their pricing. Expensive doesn’t always mean better. Or does it?
“The Beer Culture workshop will be hosted by beer expert Chris Kulbida, certi-fied cicerone and a fountain of knowledge on the sudsy stuff,” she said. “Participants will sample six beers while Chris provides background information on the products and craft beer in general.”
Premier Showcase runs from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sept. 25, 26 and 27. Tickets for the event are available at the TCU Place box office, by calling 306-975-7799 or 1-888-639-7770, or at tcutickets.ca or tcuplace.com.

If you inadvertently toss prohibited material into your blue bin, the recycling con-
tractor will send you an “Oops” letter. We should all be sending a similar letter to City Hall.
The only thing that should surprise us about the collection of glass in recycling bins is that all of the glass collected in the bins isn’t broken. Common sense should dictate that when you are throw-ing one glass container on top of another in your bin, and when the collector dumps the bin into the truck and then on the concrete floor of the depot, that the majority of the glass will break.
From the beginning, council was advised that collecting glass in a co-mingled bin was a bad idea. The breakage would con-taminate the other material collected and the sorting of the recyclable material would be difficult. Cosmo Industries, the City’s pioneer in paper recycling, warned against the co-mingled collection of glass. Mayor Don Atchison led the charge against it and noted that there was little or no market for glass in North America. But Coun. Marian Loewen, speaking in favour of co-mingled collection including glass, acknowledged that although it can’t technically be recy-cled it could be reused. In June 2011, when the Request for Proposals (RFP) was being designed, Coun. Randy Donauer, after this debate, put forward the motion that glass be excluded from collection, which was sup-ported by the majority of council.
Fast forward to November 2011, when the RFP was presented to council for ap-proval. It excluded glass, and the following dialogue took place between Coun. Darren Hill and Dwight Grayson, a representative of Loraas Disposal:
Hill: “Can you tell me what your level of contamination is with the single-stream system?”
Grayson: “. . . our contamination rates are basically zero . . .”
Hill: “What percentage of what you bring in actually goes to the dump?”
Grayson: “Less than one per cent right now.”
After more blah, blah, blah, Hill put for-ward a motion to amend the RFP to include the collection of glass and, in what appears to be an act of wilful blindness, it was sup-ported by councillors Hill, Anne Iwanchuk, Loewen, Pat Lorje, Tiffany Paulsen and Glen Penner.
The Integrated Waste Management annual report indicates that in 2013 seven per cent of recyclable material collected was glass, and that number is reported to be up to nine per cent today. From the media reports, its only use is as landfill cover to keep garbage from blowing around, pre-sumably at Loraas’s private landfill.
Brenda Wallace, the city’s director of environmental and corporate initiatives, in responding to the glass issue, stated: “The expectation is that it’s being reused in the spirit and intent that the community under-stands it to be.”
Maybe she didn’t hear Grayson’s com-ment at the November 2011 council meeting, during his seemingly orchestrated exchange on quality of service with Hill, when he said:
“There are certainly ways around providing quality service that still can adhere to the letter of the law without actually conforming to the intent.” Or Grayson’s recent refusal to comment on the report, other than to say Loraas is fulfill-ing all terms of the contract with the City of Saskatoon.
According to the annual report for 2013, the recycling program has diverted 67 per cent of material from the City’s landfill. That is good news. The
information not provided is how much of the collected material is going in the Loraas landfill in Corman Park. If the city contin-ues with its projected growth, how long will it be before we reclaim this refuse through incorporation of surrounding Corman Park land where the private landfill is located? And who will pay for cleaning up the mountains of garbage?
Recycling programs are not just about saving the landfill, but conserving resourc-es. By example, quality uncontaminated newsprint sells for top dollar and is actually recycled, saving use of virgin paper. Mixed paper containing prohibitive and throw-out material nets substantially less money or, in some cases, is entirely rejected for reuse.
Council could redeem itself and mitigate this “oops” by excluding the collection of glass in the multi-unit collection of recy-clables by Cosmo, or collecting it separately. Remember the original Memorandum of Understanding given to Cosmo (after the higher-priced contract was awarded to Lo-raas) indicated that glass was to be excluded.
After negotiations, glass is now includ-ed. I suspect Cosmo would be more than happy not to collect the glass and continue recycling top-quality newsprint. Loraas, who wanted the glass, should keep it. But don’t hold your breath waiting for this to happen as three of the six councillors that originally voted to include glass now sit on this five-member environmental committee.
Couple that with the fact that the Multi Material Stewardship Western program gives the City money for the recycling program based on weight of recycled mate-rial. If glass being used as landfill cover is considered as reused product it benefits the City’s coffers, although it defies the intent of recycling. Sadder yet is the number of glass beverage bottles that might have been returned to SARCAN by households or charities collecting them for fundraising now winding up in a landfill.
Due to it fragility and weight, shipping glass to whoever might take it is exces-sively costly. However, Ken Gryschuk, business development manager for Cosmo, suggests finding local markets for glass, and further observes glass can be reused as road bed. This year the City embarked on a massive and costly roadway rehabilita-tion program. Is it feasible for the City to use glass here? If so, should the City be collecting glass for this purpose, or will we simply buy it back from the contractors if it is deemed usable for road bed?
We are heading towards a “pay me now or pay me later” end result, and I’m not just talking about money.
Recyling becomes a pain in the glass

SASKATOONEXPRESS - September 22-28, 2014 - Page 13
By Lianne TregobovDear Lianne,I met a fellow who is 68 years old. He
was very nice, but I was extremely embar-rassed to be seen with him. He had the absolute worst toupee I have ever seen. He must have bought it when he was young. I tried talking to him about it and he was rather defensive and expressed how he gets so many compliments about it and that people call him Elvis. What would you suggest? — Bald Would Be Beautiful
Dear Beautiful,This is a tricky one. You enjoyed him but
were embarrassed by the way he presents.
You broached the subject with him and he was not receptive to change. You now need to make the decision if you can accept him, and his bad wig,≠ just the way he is or not. It is a shame that he doesn’t go to an expert and ask his or her opinion. If he is receptive, you might suggest going with him to ex-plore options. Shaved heads are very much in style. Some people are very resistant to change. You will need to decide if you can truly overlook the hairpiece and enjoy him for who he is without feeling embarrassed.
Dear Lianne,I have been dating a fantastic fellow,
but now am having second thoughts. In
a conversation he referred to one of my friends as a misfit. My jaw dropped and I simply could not fathom why he would say that. I am now wondering if I should terminate our relationship. My friend certainly has her share of problems, but that title was uncalled for. How would you suggest I deal with this? — Monique
Dear Monique,Your partner’s choice of words was wrong.
Did you discuss this with him and let him know you were offended by his comment? People make mistakes and it is expected that in a good relationship you would be able to discuss your feelings with him. My concern
is that there may be other issues within the relationship that you are not sharing with me. It is unusual to end a relationship for one isolated incident. I encourage you to evaluate the relationship and determine if he is right for you. Make sure that you have an open line of communication with him, and are easily able to express your thoughts and feelings.
In no time winter will be here. With 20 years of successful matchmaking, I can help you find true love. I will be in Saskatoon in-terviewing new clients from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. Call 1-204-888-1529 to reserve your ap-pointment. Questions for this column should be sent to [email protected].

Animal Health Week 2014
The first week in October in Canada is Animal Health Week, a national campaign designed to bring aware-
ness to animal health and safety and to give the public an opportunity to become more familiar with their community’s veterinary services professionals. The week is orga-nized by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. Dr. Terri Chotowetz, from Saskatoon’s Cumberland Veterinary Clinic,
encourages pet owners to visit their vets this week. “We have colouring books and tattoos for the kids, and if you call ahead, most vet clinics would love to give you a tour of their facilities, including x-ray equipment and surgery suites. It is also a great chance to see about volunteer opportunities at your vet.”
The theme this year for AHW is anti-microbial stewardship. As with human doc-tors, Chotowetz says, veterinarians “realize that with pets as well, we must be respon-sible about choosing the right antibiotic at the correct dose and for the appropriate length of time. It is the profession’s respon-sibility to strike a balance between caring for animals while preserving antimicrobial efficacy and protecting public health and it is our job to impart this to our clients. Your pet may not need antibiotics every time it has diarrhea. Often, we can treat the problem with diet or probiotics. And sometimes, just like with people, a particu-lar ailment might just need some time to run its course.”
Similarly, Chotowetz explains that the veterinary community is changing how it
views vaccinations. “It used to be that all pets were to be vaccinated every year, and this was the primary contact owners had with their vet. We are now of the opinion that an animal’s vaccine requirements depend on the health and lifestyle of your pet and this should be discussed with your veterinarian. We realize how important a physical exam of your pet can be, and how much we can learn about you and your pet from this.” She believes that this also gives pet owners more of a say in their pet’s care. “If something is off with your pet, no matter how small, if your gut tells you something is wrong, talk to your veterinarian. You would be surprised at how something seem-ingly small can indicate serious issues. She adds that veterinary medicine has “come so far in the past few decades. We can now essentially provide human health care for our pets.”
For day to day care, Chotowetz stresses the importance of proper diet, both in quality and quantity. “Diet is huge. Most in-door pets are overweight, because we like to keep their bowls full during the day.
Cats, especially, should be fed small meals throughout the day, and wet food most closely mimics their natural diet. It is diffi-cult to increase the activity level of a cat but there are some innovative feeding toys and some fun ways to encourage play.” Dogs, Chotowetz says, get more activity by going on walks or to the off-leash park, but cau-tions that, if they are outside animals, they should be fed a high quality food, especially in winter, when they burn more calories to keep warm. Grooming is also important. Long-haired dogs are often clipped short in the summer, and if your cat is older and arthritic, make sure you help it groom over its hips so that the hair doesn’t get mat-ted. Chotowetz also cautions potential dog owners to be vigilant in researching where they get their dogs, particularly pure bred dogs, in order to try to discourage the use of puppy mills.
If you are interested in the animal health field, Chotowetz says volunteering at your local clinic is a great way to learn, while at the same time making a difference in the life of an animal.

City of Saskatoon striving for responsible pet ownership
The City of Saskatoon Animal Services offers several beneficial initiatives and programs for pet owners, all
designed to help keep the furry members of our families safe and healthy. Pet licensing provides necessary revenue to fund many animal related services to meet the needs of citizens. Programs include Animal Control
services provided by the Saskatoon Animal Control Agency (SACA). SACA provides bylaw enforcement services for the Animal Control Bylaw and the Dangerous Animal Bylaw, to ensure the safety of citizens and animals within Saskatoon. Licensing fees also support the provision of pound services. The Saskatoon Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), provides animal care and shelter services, in addition to inves-tigative services for issues involving cruelty to animals. According to Chelsie Schafer, Animal Services Coordinator with the City of Saskatoon, money generated from pet licences supports the City’s subsidized spay and neuter programs, the upkeep on Sas-
katoon’s six off-leash Dog Parks and other exciting programs such as the new Dog Day of Summer dog swim held at Mayfair Pool.
Licensing your pets makes sense, says Schafer, “because it promotes responsible pet ownership and allows for pet care programs to be available.

If your pet becomes lost, if it is li-censed, when it is found it will be delivered to the SPCA and kept safely
until you can retrieve it.” And, Schafer adds, “when you license your pet you get one Pet At Large (PAL) card, or a card you can present one time only to get back your lost and found pet without having to pay pound charges.”
The City’s Animal Control By-law is set in place to help regulate what kinds of pets can be kept in the city, and where. Animals like hamsters, gerbils and caged birds do not need to be licensed. Exotic animals of any kind are illegal in the city. Cats and dogs that are let outside must be on leashes. Schafer explains that they bylaws are reviewed frequently. “We have a committee that meets once a month to go over our policies to see if changes need to be made. If we identify a potentially change, we do research on how other jurisdictions handle the issue and carefully assess our options. None of the decisions are made with-out a thorough decision making process.” For example, the new bylaw restricting dogs from riding in truck beds was put in place after a year long process of research and decisions.
These bylaws, says Schafer, are also in place so that pet owners can come from a common place in cases of pet complaints from neighbours. If you are hav-ing a re-occurring issue with a neighbour’s pet being a nuisance, Schafer suggests that you first talk to your neighbour and “get a feel for how comfortable you are in engaging them in this conversa-tion. If you are not comfortable, we ask that you log instances for five days and then submit them to the city. SACA will then assess the situation and, if deemed neces-
sary, talk to the other party. You will then be asked to continue to log for another seven days to see if the issue has been solved.” For pet owners, Schafer asks that you be aware of the impact your pet has on those around you.

Lorna Phillips, owner of It’s a Dog’s Life Pet Spa, has been grooming for the past 24 years and has owned the
local grooming spa for 14 years. She has a shop full of knowledgeable groomers to suit the need of anyone!
When you take your dog to the groomer, not only does it give them a clean and fresh look, but it also allows them to check the overall condition of your dog. As we are grooming we notice things that you may not notice at home like skin conditions, lumps, bumps, infections, and abnormalities. With this information we are able to alert the owners so that they can seek veterinary care if need be. Some concerns can even be ad-dressed right at the groomer with products that we use daily throughout the spa. A visit to your groomer can provide you with the knowledge of how to care for your pets
coat and skin at home. You should expect to have your pet groomed every 4-12 weeks depending on coat type and personal prefer-ence. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and anal glands are all addressed during your pets visit to the spa. These services can also be done in between grooming appointments as a walk in service.

Welcome to Kia Premium, a luxury experience reserved for the most discerning Kia owner.
It is our highest level of customer care, with complete attention to detail.
Like the Kia models it covers, includ-ing the exceptional Cadenza and all-new K900, Kia Premium is an experience in modern, customer-focused luxury.
Kia Premium is prestige and privilege for a new era. It celebrates the enjoyment of owning and driving a Kia luxury vehi-cle and defines a new experience: Luxury Liberated. It encompasses the full realm of luxury, including the exemplary Kia Premium ownership experience delivered through an exclusive network of certified Kia Premium Dealers.
The exceptionally refined Cadenza and all-new K900 are a brilliant union of dynamic performance, innovative technol-ogy, and evocative design. Graced with superior craftsmanship, fine materials, and sophisticated amenities reserved for world’s most luxurious automobiles, both models are designed to satisfy the most sophisticated driver and indulge passen-gers with the highest of expectations.
Underpinning the Cadenza’s stylish exterior and interior design is a robust, ad-vanced powertrain that ensures outstand-ing durability and dynamic performance you can rely on under any driving condi-tion. Powered by a fuel efficient, light-weight V6 engine generating a maximum
293-horsepower, the Cadenza’s dynamic driving characteristics and advanced technology is what sets it apart from the competition. Thanks to this drivetrain, a well-engineered, capable chassis, and a direct and communicative steering system, the Cadenza promises both luxurious comfort and impressive performance from a premium-level sedan.
Lighting the way is an available AFLS (Adaptive Front Lighting System) that works in conjunction with the available HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlights to deliver a beam path that responds to steering angle as well as road pitch. This technology, along with an available blind spot detection system, lane departure warning system, smart cruise control, and more, make the Cadenza not only enjoy-able, but extremely safe to drive.
On the inside, the Cadenza continues utilizing the latest technology to elevate every aspect of your driving experience. Standard amenities such as a voice-acti-vated navigation system with rear-camera display and a back-up warning system help keep you in command. In addition, standard features such as heated and power adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a premium 12-speaker Infinity® surround-sound audio system leave you and your passengers enjoying every moment you spend on the road. In fact, Road & Travel Magazine enjoyed their time in the Cadenza so much they
named it the 2014 International Car of the Year. And it also received top place hon-ours in the J.D. Power & Associates 2014 Initial Quality Study.
Prestige distance is a design term used to describe the long expanse from the front wheel to front of the cabin on a luxury sedan. On the all-new K900, engineers took full advantage of this generous space to of-fer a choice of two beautifully refined rear-wheel drive powertrains, featuring 8-speed automatic transmissions with V6 or V8 power. The premiere 5.0-litre, 420-horse-power V8 Elite delivers the confident acceleration and effortless performance that are the hallmarks of a premium automobile. Combined with a standard, dynamically dampered suspension system and electric-hydraulic power steering, the K900 driving experience is both responsive and elegant.
Step inside the K900 and one immedi-ately notices how spacious it feels with its 45.9 inches of front seat legroom. While in the driver’s seat, you will be treated to a heated and air-cooled 16-way power driver seat with memory, a power tilt/tele-scope steering wheel, a built-in navigation system and an available Heads-Up Display (HUD). This full-colour HUD projects key information discretely onto the windshield for added driving confidence. The choice of displayed information includes current speed, navigation directions, and feedback from the K900’s available blind-spot de-tection and smart cruise control systems.
In the back, passengers can stretch out in power reclining rear seats with avail-able Nappa leather trim while the avail-able two-panel panoramic sunroof bathes the entire cabin in light and allows them to enjoy the skies above. They can also enjoy the luxury of triple-stage heated seats with available air-cooled seats, power lumbar supports and a power rear-window curtain for limousine-calibre comfort. But no matter which seat is chosen, everyone will enjoy the K900’s standard Logic-7™ au-dio system by Lexicon® – the same brand favoured by Rolls-Royce™. It features a multi-channel digital amplifier and 17 strategically placed speakers optimized specifically for the cabin to deliver a truly stunning aural experience.
Every premium Kia has been designed to need as little maintenance as possible. However, when it is time for scheduled maintenance, the service is imperative in order to maintain the highest level of performance, safety, and reliability in your premium Kia. Fortunately, true to the lux-ury vehicle class, Kia Premium ownership includes complimentary 5-year scheduled maintenance performed by factory trained technicians, as well as a complimentary car wash each time your car is serviced.
Discover the privilege of owning and driving a Kia Premium luxury vehicle. Visit your local Saskatchewan Kia Pre-mium Dealer today or kia.ca/premium for details.

Underwater cameras found one of explorer Sir John Franklin’s lost ships. Frigid Arctic waters kept

nude photos of them hacked and posted online. And the Chargers think Richard Sherman was exposed?l A parachutist delivering the game
ball for the Central Florida-Penn State game missed the stadium completely. The rumours must be true: Tim Tebow has taken up skydiving.l Mattel is investigating claims one
of its latest line of Barbie dolls blurts out cuss words. Must be part of that new series — Married Barbie.
l Officials in a Florida city are experimenting with red flags for pedes-trians to wave at dangerous crossings. White flags were considered, but they were all being used by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.l Proof that bad things come in threes:
CFL games on TSN1, TSN2 and TSN3 all had play-by-play by Rod Black. l Congratulations Devin Hester on
bringing an NFL record 20th kick back for a touchdown. And many happy returns.l A burglar was nabbed in Florida after
police reportedly found him asleep in front of a TV inside the home he was robbing. Five bucks says he tuned in to a Cubs game.l Orange News reports an 18-year-old
woman in India married a dog in a tradi-tional wedding. I’m wondering what vows

RJ’s GROANER OF THE WEEK
I was trying to write a joke about the Michelin man, but gave up. All my punchlines were tired.
People swear bytheir Barbie dolls
For years comedy writers have been using the Cincinnati Bengals in punchlines when talking or writ-
ing about problem players. Turns out the Minnesota Vikings have had more players arrested since 2000 than the Bengals. The top three teams in arrests: 3. Denver, 40; 2. Cincinnati, 43; 1. Minnesota, 44. l Teams in the NFL have averaged 22
arrests since 2000. Arizona and St. Louis have had the fewest at 11. Clearly they need to step up their DUIs.l From Torben Rolfsen: “Adrian Peter-
son can’t participate in any Vikings team activities? Does that include boat parties?”l Janice Hough, on Gatorade having
a new commercial honouring Derek Jeter and his retirement: “Good thing. Would hate for such a momentous event to go unnoticed.”l I didn’t ask for, nor do I want U2’s
new album on my iPhone. Bono pretty much lost me when he told then-prime minister Paul Martin how to run our coun-try. Not that I hold a grudge or anything.l Rolfsen, on the ongoing misadven-
tures of Jameis Winston at Florida State: “He makes Johnny Manziel look like Kurt Warner.”l Longtime NFL sideline reporter Pam
Oliver has been demoted to the B crew on Fox after being replaced on the A team by Erin Andrews. Too bad. Oliver is the better reporter. She lost out to younger and blonder.l Los Angeles columnist Mark
Whicker, on Ron Washington resigning as manager of the Texas Rangers because of infidelity: “If everyone in baseball did, you wouldn’t have enough people for bridge.”l From Rolfsen: “There was a ‘yes’
vote in Scotland last Thursday. The good news is they are letting women in to St. Andrews golf club. The bad news is it’s to staff a Tilted Kilt sports pub.”l Bill Littlejohn, on a late time-out
called by Jets assistant Marty Mornhinweg costing his team a game-tying TD in their loss to the Packers: “But the good news for Marty is that at least he had the wind to his back.”l From Hough: “Last Tuesday there
was a press conference held by Glo-ria Allred blasting the NFL and Roger Goodell over their handling of domestic violence cases: “So congrats to all those who had Sept. 17 in the pool.”l Chris Milo is not a good punter. He
hits more line drives than Steve Trout. l From Rolfsen: “Ray Rice, Terrell
Suggs ... Ray Lewis wasn’t kidding when he said he was a big influence on younger Ravens.”l A message from Bill Clinton to
astronaut Reid Wiseman, who is currently aboard the International Space Station: “Are you really tweeting from space? Your roaming charges must be out of this world!”l I’m thinking Clinton thanks his lucky
blue dress there wasn’t sexting when he was in office.l My three least favourite people in
the CFL: 3. Kent Austin; 2. Chris Jones; 1. Dennis Skulsky.l Hough, on the NFL fining Colin
Kaepernick $10,000 for inappropriate language last weekend, and fining Buffalo Bills linebacker Brandon Spikes $8,268 for an unnecessary roughness penalty: “So the lesson is clear: if you’re really unhap-py on the field, don’t swear at someone, stomp them.”l At 45.8 points per game, scoring in
the CFL is at its lowest since 1985. (Note: I will spare you a cheesy “there is more scoring at …” line.)l There is more scoring at a New Jer-
sey Devils game than in the CFL. l Question: What did I want to know
after Tino Sunseri’s first start? Answer: How other quarterbacks have done in their first games. Instead, coverage was more we-told-you-so directed at Darian haters. Move on, people.l If Kansas City makes the playoffs,
the Toronto Blue Jays will have the lon-gest post-season drought in major league baseball. Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays. Not a city of champions. l From Rolfsen: “A friend in Oklaho-
ma City tells me he attends Edmonton Oil-ers farm team games. I thought Edmonton was the farm team.”

A kayaker has a bird’s eye view of sandhill cranes passing through Saskatoon on their migra-tion. There are a few in the Saskatoon area in the summer, but much larger numbers in spring
and fall. This flock will be in the Saskatoon area for another few weeks before catching a jet stream and heading south. These photos were taken south of the city at Chief Whitecap Park.

Dear Reena,I am wondering if you
have a remedy for removing tea stains from bone china cups and saucers. I don’t want to use anything that will take the pattern or gold rim off of the cups. — Lois
Dear Lois,For really tough stains on
china cups use one of the fol-lowing cleaning techniques: Place a denture tablet inside the cup and fill with hot water. Leave overnight; the stain should dissolve. Or wipe stains with whitening toothpaste. Or make a paste of baking soda (or washing soda) and water and scrub cups and saucers. Or fill cup with one-teaspoon citric acid and one-teaspoon lemon juice and fill the remainder of the cup with hot water. Leave overnight. Note: Wear gloves when working with washing soda.
Dear Reena,I am wondering if you would mind
clarifying something you wrote in your books. The leather in my parents’ sofa is starting to dry out. As such, they want to treat it with a moisturizer. One of your books suggests using olive oil to moistur-
ize leather, and another one of your books suggests using cold cream. Which would be the best for them? If you use olive oil, wouldn’t it leave a sticky residue and maybe even start smelling bad (rancid oil)? What is cold cream, and would it work for this applica-tion? Thanks in advance for your help with this! — Mark
Dear Mark,Both olive oil and cold cream
are great options for leather, just be sure to test both on an incon-
spicuous area first. Apply a small amount of one or the other on a soft cloth and wipe on leather in a circular motion. Remove all excess. Leather is porous, so the grease will absorb into the fabric without sitting on the surface, leaving a smell or attracting dust. Cold cream is an emulsion of water and certain fats, usually including bees-wax and various scent agents, designed to smooth skin and remove makeup. You will find cold cream where face products are sold.
Dear Reena,Now here’s a situation you might not
have heard of before. I wear rubber gloves for doing dishes. Over the years
I have accumulated dozens of gloves for the right hand and thrown away dozens of gloves for the left hand. I’m left-handed and find it’s that hand that gets the pokes and holes from knives and other sharp items during dishwashing. I’ve tried to think of how I can repair the small hole in the rubber glove, but to no avail. I can’t bring myself to discard the right-hand gloves. What ideas do you have to remedy this situation? — Joy
Dear Joy,Although there is no effective way to
fix torn rubber gloves, if you always wear out one rubber glove, start saving all the good gloves and by turning half of them inside out you will gain a few extra pairs. Or cut good fingertips off of one pair of torn rubber gloves and put them into torn gloves fingertips to reinforce them. Also, consider alternative uses for rubber gloves: Cut them into circles as they make great non-slip grips for everything, such as a stuck jar lid. Or cut the fingers off of torn rubber gloves and slip them over mop and broom handles — that way, when you lean them against the wall, they don’t slide or create marks on the wall. Cover chair feet with the finger of rubber gloves to protect floors. Or cut strips on the round, hand
part and fingers and use as rubber bands. Cut off the index finger piece from the torn rubber glove to create an ideal sheath for your finger the next time you have to sort through a stack of papers. Love the question!
Dear Reena,I washed and hung a white sweater
on a painted hanger to dry. Unfortu-nately, I didn’t notice that the hanger’s paint was chipped in places. So now my white sweater has rust stains on the shoulders. Do you have any suggestions for removing these stains? — Marilyn
Dear Marilyn,One solution that I find very effective
on fabric rust stains is pouring hydrogen peroxide (or lemon juice) onto the stain and sprinkling it with cream of tartar. Leave the item in the bright sun for a day and wash; it works very well. Or chop a few stalks of rhubarb with water and cook. Hold the stain in the boiling rhubarb water for a few sec-onds. You will get great results and your pot will sparkle as well.

A number of ways to remove tea stains
Sandhill cranes
Philanthropist and Euro-pean printmaking specialist Frederick Mulder last week
announced, on behalf of the U.K.-based Frederick Mulder Founda-tion, the gift of an important col-lection of ceramics, made by Pablo Picasso, to the Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan.
The 23 works, including ceram-ic plates, tiles, vessels, vases and sculptures, are valued at $500,000. The pottery collection enhances a collection of 406 linocuts by Picasso, assembled by Mulder and subsequently purchased by the Frank and Ellen Remai Foundation and donated to the gallery in 2012.
“We are delighted to receive this important gift and applaud Frederick Mulder for his gener-osity and belief in the vision for Remai Modern,” gallery executive director and CEO Gregory Burke said in a news release. “The gift builds on our holdings of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and will enhance our ability to interpret and present significant aspects of Picasso’s artistic practice. The gift is broad in range, while several ceramics are thematically connected to the linocuts. Altogether, they make for a comprehensive collection that will excite visitors, students and researchers when Remai Modern opens.”
Frederick Mulder, a native of Eston, said: “I am delighted to present these Picasso ceramics to the Remai Modern, and to know that the residents of Saskatoon
and well beyond will be able to enjoy these innovative and playful aspects of Picasso’s work. They will serve as a wonderful bridge between the highly important Picasso linocut collection in the Remai Modern, and the tradition of Saskatchewan art ceramics. I loved growing up in Saskatchewan, and I count myself lucky to be able to give something back to the city and the province that gave so much to me.”
The ceramics will be exhibited in a gallery dedicated to Picasso and works of international moder-nity at Remai Modern, Burke said. The new gallery, under construc-tion at Saskatoon’s River Landing, is scheduled to open in 2016.
