Dream Job
SREDA perfect fit for new CEO After three career-building positions in business development, Alex L. Fallon landed SREDA’s top job — and couldn’t be happier (Photo by Joanne Paulson)
Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express lex 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 Saskatchewan back then,” said Fallon in an interview a week after he took on his new position.
A
CP901242.I22 Chenise
“(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 SREDA’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 interview 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-president, investment attraction and managing director (Saskatchewan) for Rainmaker Global Business Development. With the province, Fallon promoted Saskatchewan 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 investment 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 operating officer for SREDA. George had been running SREDA while it searched for a new CEO. (Continued on page 4)

Kylie Zirk
Teen rapidly rising in whitewater kayaking Kylie Zirk, 16, is currently training to participate in the 2015 under-23 whitewater slalom world championships in Brazil next summer (Photo by Steve Gibb)
I
Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express
t 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 kayaking 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 Whitewater 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 experience a whitewater slalom course. “I soon learned that the South Saskatchewan is a nice friendly river, and whitewater 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, running rivers and competing. She has since participated in world championship events all over the world, including Slovakia and Australia. She is currently training to participate 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 family wherever you go,” said Zirk, reflecting on her competitive experiences. “Everyone 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? According 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 controlled,” 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 upperbody 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
Make it a Sunday Tradition
in the southern United States, in order to take advantage of the year-round warm temperatures. Of course, all this hard work and physical training is in addition to Zirk’s fulltime high school course load. “I’m constantly catching up on homework 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. (Continued on page 4)

SREDA has a great new team: Fallon
“W
(Continued from page 1) e 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 continuity, which will help our region reach its full economic potential.” LOOKING FORWARD Leadership at SREDA has been a bit up and down over the last few years, including 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 demonstrate results. For example, he plans to measure how much economic growth SREDA can create for each dollar of investment. 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 decisionmaking, 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 OUTLOOK While 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 infrastructure 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, Ontario 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 diversification. 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 Saskatoon 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 encouraging 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.” PERSONALLY Fallon 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 family – 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 economic development team in Canada. That’s my goal,” he said.

Now it’s easier every time.” Whitewater kayak competition is not cheap, and Zirk could not do it without her sponsors, which include Icon Construction, Parkland Consulting, GMR Electric and Sherwood Chevrolet. “There isn’t a lot of funding for kayaking 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.”

Overcrowding on MVA trail one reason for Segway delay 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 Ask the 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 Meewasin 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 congestion 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 investing another $717,000 in taxpayer dollars that go directly to the MVA.

Question: Will the 2.92-per-cent increase cover off years four and five? Mayor Atchison: At budget deliberations last December council agreed to the 2.92-per-cent increase for this year and it was clearly stated by the administration 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.

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.

t’s been your go-to online marketplace to buy and sell unique, handmade gifts and goods. It’s a place where shoppers 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 Saskatchewan 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.” For an online preview of what Saskatoon’s Etsy Made in Canada shops will have to offer, go to www.etsy.com/pages/ made-in-canada and click on Saskatoon, or visit Etsy Saskatchewan on Facebook.

Symphony season to open with classic Saskatoon Express
aestro Victor Sawa of the Saskatoon 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 release. “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 announced 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 orchestra 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.”

askatoon’s Co-op Wine Spirits Beer store is on a mission to continue to give Saskatchewan people a new experience when they are purchasing 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 Premier 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 Wreford, 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 mainstage 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 suppliers to bring their beer to Premier and to promote their products at Co-op in September. 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 journeying 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 Expensive 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 Wreford. “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, certified 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.

By Lianne Tregobov Dear Lianne, I met a fellow who is 68 years old. He was very nice, but I was extremely embarrassed 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 SS50624.I22 James were embarrassed by the way he presents.
Cutting the rug from embarrassing relationship 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 explore 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

Animal Health Week 2014 Visit your Veterinarian during Animal Health Week
T
he first week in October in Canada is Animal Health Week, a national campaign designed to bring awareness 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 organized 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 antimicrobial stewardship. As with human doctors, Chotowetz says, veterinarians “realize that with pets as well, we must be responsible about choosing the right antibiotic at the correct dose and for the appropriate length of time. It is the profession’s responsibility 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 particular 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 seemingly 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 difficult 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 cautions 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 matted. 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.
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 investigative 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. (Continued on page 15)

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.

People swear by their Barbie dolls
By RJ Currie nderwater cameras found one of explorer Sir John Franklin’s lost ships. Frigid Arctic waters kept many items preserved, including an iron davit, a wooden hawse and a Martin Brodeur rookie card. l Justin Verlander and Kate Upton had 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 pedestrians 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.

Views of the World
Has anyone heard if Jeter is retiring?
or years comedy writers have been using the Cincinnati Bengals in punchlines when talking or writing 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 Peterson 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 country. Not that I hold a grudge or anything. l Rolfsen, on the ongoing misadventures 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 Gloria 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 unhappy 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 Jersey 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 longest post-season drought in major league baseball. Leafs, Raptors, Blue Jays. Not a city of champions. l From Rolfsen: “A friend in Oklahoma City tells me he attends Edmonton Oilers farm team games. I thought Edmonton was the farm team.”

The choice of displayed information includes current speed, navigation directions, and feedback from the K900’s available blind-spot detection and smart cruise control systems.
In the back, passengers can stretch out in power reclining rear seats with available Nappa leather trim while the available two-panel panoramic sunroof bathes the entire cabin in light and allows them to enjoy the skies above.

hilanthropist and European printmaking specialist Frederick Mulder last week announced, on behalf of the U.K.based Frederick Mulder Foundation, the gift of an important collection of ceramics, made by Pablo Picasso, to the Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan. The 23 works, including ceramic 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 generosity 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 modernity at Remai Modern, Burke said. The new gallery, under construction at Saskatoon’s River Landing, is scheduled to open in 2016.

I have accumulated dozens of gloves for the right hand and thrown away dozens of gloves for the left hand. I’m lefthanded 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

Love the question! Dear Reena, I washed and hung a white sweater on a painted hanger to dry. Unfortunately, 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 seconds. You will get great results and your pot will sparkle as well. (Taken from Household Solutions 1 with Substitutions.) I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Missed a column?
