I had an interesting conversation with Thom Cholowski regarding g a clock that he believes came out of the Macoun Hotel that was destroyed in a gas explosion 111 years ago. Here’s a story about the tragedy. The Evan Bray Show.

Six weeks after purchasing the hotel at Macoun and getting his family settled there, Carl Hochhaus left town to see to matters on his homestead in Alberta.

The Evan Bray Show, Monday, February 10th, 2025
WITH GUEST HOST BRENT LOUCKS

8:30 – As Canadians catch their breath from the threat of tariffs and now 30-day delay, Jeff Mahon, director of geopolitical and international business advisory at StrategyCorp and an executive-in-residence at the Canada West Foundation, joins Evan to bring us the latest on U.S. President Donald Trump's plans.

9:00 – We learned last week that Saskatoon Public Schools is facing funding concerns that had forced the division to lay off 80 educational assistants. Joining Brent Loucks to discuss that financial concern, the division between federal and provincial responsibilities and how it affects our schools is Shawn Davidson, president of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA).

9:30 – Will we have only six weeks more of winter? Canada's famous groundhogs, Willie and Sam, were at odds about their shadow predictions for the length of the season remaining this year. Brent Loucks turns to David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada, to give us a better sense of the rest of the winter season.

10:00 – A clock with a mysterious past is now ticking again, thanks to the work of amateur provincial historian, Thom Cholowski. Known as the "typewriter guy" in Saskatoon, Cholowski believes he's restored a (time)piece of Saskatchewan's history. He joins Brent Loucks to discuss the find.

10:30 – Cheryl Olson has survived - and thrived - after not one heart transplant, but two. This Heart Health Month (and days before Valentines Day), she joins Brent Loucks to talk about the importance of remembering to take care of our hearts.

11:00 – Travel woes are a tale as old as time, but that doesn't make them less inconvenient when they happen to you. WestJet passengers are frustrated once again by cancellations while Canadians generally reconsider whether they want to include the United States as a travel destination at all. Brent Loucks welcomes Terry Kaszas, general manager of travel services with CAA Saskatchewan, to discuss the difficulties passengers are facing and what CAA is seeing in terms of U.S.-Canadian travel.

11:30 – On average, people check their phones up to 221 times a day. While cell phones are helpful, they can also be addicting. Charlotte Lloyd, co-creator of Phone Free February, joins Brent Loucks to discuss how we can improve our phone habits and become more mindful of our screen time.

12:00 – The Water Security Agency has announced a finalized agricultural water stewardship policy to benefit and take care fo Saskatchewan's 4.6 million acres of wetlands. Dr. Peter Leavitt, professor in the department of biology at the University of Regina, co-director for the Institute of Environmental Change and Society and visiting scholar at Queen's University Belfast, joins Brent to explain what the policy is and what the benefit will be for the province's wetlands.

The things you learn. After moving from our acreage home of 12 years, the new owner sent this picture asking what the switch is for inside the front closet. Neither Penney nor I can even remember noticing the switch in the dozen years of living there. The new owner finally figures it’s for the soffit plugs for Christmas lights. We had always put lights along our deck line never the roof line. I thought what a weird place to put a light switch, however in telling the story in the newsroom, everyone tells me they too have the hidden switch in their homes. Who knew??!!

So our move into the city is just about complete. We’ve given away, sold, donated a bunch of stuff that we’ve accumulated over the years. Funny the things you acquire. I am not a handyman, as my family will attest to. So how did I end up with three carpenter squares??

Plan a different route if you normally use University Bridge….

University bridge closed; traffic detours in place

University bridge is shut down completely due to a fire under the bridge. Detours are in place. Drivers are asked to re-route their commute and pedestrians are asked to avoid University Bridge area while crews remain on scene.

Saskatoon Transit will be affected by these detours.
