Katie Miyazaki is all too familiar with what being hit in the head feels like. It’s not pleasant, it’s a

danger in sports and it can have lasting consequences.

“Diagnosed concussions? I’ve had five that put me out for a few weeks each time,” said Miyazaki, all-star alumni of the University of Saskatchewan women’s basketball team and a former Valkyries football player. “The first one I got was when I was 12 and playing hockey. I ran into a girl. I got up, saw stars and had no idea what was happening, so I just kept playing. The next was one was about two years later in net, the third one was playing dodge ball in physical education. I got blindsided by a ball . . . and the list goes on.”

Miyazaki almost always kept playing after the constant hits to the head. She

has experienced headaches, dizziness and nausea, and only stopped playing tackle football last year after her worst concussion ever.

“This last one was in our Prairie Conference final against Regina, and I knew exactly where the hit was, and that I most likely had a concussion, but I just didn’t want to come out of the game. So I kept playing and I got hit again later in the same game,” said Miyazaki. “I was pretty sure I was concussed, but then the next day I woke up and was like, ‘Oh, I feel good!’ Then, the following day I woke up and I had never felt that sick before. I couldn’t leave my room, everything felt like it was spinning, I was nauseous, but yet part of me still wanted to play that week. If my trainers hadn’t said no, and if my coach hadn’t said no, I would have played, which is a pretty bad idea in retrospect.”

Dropping out of the game wasn’t an easy decision for Miyazaki. A star athlete, Miyazaki led the Huskies to a second-

place finish in the CIS championships in 2011 and a sixth-place finish in 2012. After that, she transitioned into football, where she shone as a defensive back with the Valkyries, helping them during undefeated runs to the 2011 and 2012 Western Women’s Canadian Football League championships. Miyazaki also was picked as one of 92 players to attend the training camp for Team Canada. Those selected at the camp will represent Canada at the 2013 women’s world tackle football championships in New Brunswick.

“That’s definitely what hurt the most, and what I cried over the most. I had debated not playing football last summer, but then there was the whole Team Canada thing,” said Miyazaki. “When I found out about Team Canada, that’s what my whole summer was geared toward. I wanted to make it to that camp and make that team for this summer. It bummed me out when I knew I couldn’t play at the first camp

and I thought that dream was over. Then, I was invited to the second camp, and I was still wasn’t quite better by then. It sucks because it feels like you’re giving up on a dream, but at the same time you’re like ‘This is real life. I have a lot of other things.’ As cool as it would be, it’s life or death.”

Sometimes it is death. Last week, 17-year-old Rowan Stringer, a female rugby player in Ottawa, died after receiving a severe head injury in a game. Miyazaki says that lack of awareness is one of the biggest issues for young athletes, parents and coaches in cases like this.

“Athletes, they just want to play. The kids I coach, they always want to play and unless you tell them no, they’re going to keep going,” said Miyazaki. “Now, looking back at it, I think about how dumb it is, but in the heat of the moment you don’t think about it.”

Dear Aunt Cam,Now that the weather is

warmer, we are all out in our yards. Please provide a list of socially acceptable small talk that will come in handy when your annoying neighbors approach.

TL

Dear TL,First of all, let’s make

something clear. I like my neighbours. And you, on the other hand, are a snob, TL.

Neighbours tend to lurk in front yards ready to pounce on weak people like you. On our street – and I like each of these people more than you can imagine – we have talkers, walkers and The Shirtless Guy. (Some of us secretly wish it was The Shirtless Woman.)

If I were you (and thank goodness I am not), I would do activities at times when your neighbours are least likely to be outside. For example, cut your lawn at 1 a.m. If you don’t want the neighbours to come out, you will have to use one of those granola mowers without a motor or one of those battery-driven things. (Note: my wife has both.)

If you are looking for a day-time solution, you can have your spouse do the front-yard chores, while you maintain the back yard. (Note: make sure you have a tall fence and a patio instead of a deck.)

At my home, my wife does both the back and front, so I can watch sports on TV. Every now and then I pop out of the family room to bag a dog turd or fill a bird feeder. I try to make it a habit to

have a drink while she barbecues. (Note: I have learned not to tell her the chicken was dry.)

Dear Aunt Cam,How long do these hockey

playoff thingies last? My husband is starting to gather dust, and I’m missing all the best episodes of Toddlers & Tiaras and Dancing with the Stars.

TL

Dear TL,You are a selfish, selfish

person, TL. My wife and I have found a

compromise. I put on a tiara and sit in my boxers – did you think I was briefs guy? – while watching hockey.

Derek Hough drops by every Monday night and dances my wife’s little feet off. The only things I say are: “Derek, can you grab me a beer? Derek, put your shirt on. And, Derek, turn down that friggin’ music, there’s a friggin’ hockey game on.’’

You should try it, TL. I bet that crotchety old fart, Len Goodman, would be happy to give you a twirl.

(If you have a question for Aunt Cam, don’t bother sending it. This column is all about TL and me.)

Dear Aunt Cam,I recently moved to Saskatoon. The

person down the street has his house decorated in the colours of the Boston Bruins. Everyone in the neighborhood loves the house. I am a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and want to decorate my house in Maple Leaf white and blue. And yet I don’t want to upset the neighbourhood. What would you recommend?

RB

Dear RB,Who are you? Clearly, you haven’t

read the rules for this column. This is an exclusive exchange between TL and me.

Because you are new to the city, I will let it go this time. Because you are a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, I’m thinking reading isn’t one of your strong suits.

I’ve told a number of people I felt badly when the Leafs collapsed in the final minutes against Boston. Actually, I was the guy driving down Eighth Street with my horn a honking, much like I do when the Chicago Cubs win a World Series.

I think you made a horrible choice moving into the suburbs. You must be mortgaged to the hilt. It has been my experience that Leafs fans have trouble finding employment.

To ease your pain, I am going to share a story with you. Every family has its black sheep, right? I have a cousin who is both an architect and a Leafs fan. Everything he builds topples over in the spring. He is now a squatter, living near Kingman, Arizona.

The same fate awaits you, dude. You won’t have to travel to the United States to squat. Go to Regina.

They lost to Peterborough 3-2 in the second game. They gave up three early goals to Swift Current and then rallied to win 5-4 in their round-robin meeting.

And then it was showdown time, with the Broncos again as their rivals. Saskatoon trailed 2-0 after the first period, then came back in the second with goals by Scissons, a shorthanded goal by Katelnikoff and then one by Kocur, 17 seconds before the buzzer. That was the Blades’ last goal of the game.

“That last game, I still see it in slow-motion replays. We had our chances in the third period, including a two-man break where we missed the net. In overtime, we had the first five shots and then a turnover set up their winning goal, a tip-in by Tim Tisdale.”

Lubiniecki was born in Sturgis and played junior with Prince Albert Mintos, senior with the Saskatoon Quakers and semi-pro with Fort Wayne in the International League and Knoxville in the Eastern League. He began coaching with Saskatoon Olympics, a Blades junior farm team, and joined the Blades in the fall of 1981.

One of his best teams was in the spring of 1983, when the Blades lost an

Eastern Division playoff to Lethbridge. The team finished first and had five players — Perry Ganchar, Ross Lambert, Roger Kortko, Lane Lambert and Todd Strueby — that had 100 points or better.

“We lost three of our top players through injuries just before and during the playoffs. Funny thing is that I tried

to trade for a goalie, either Mike Vernon from Calgary or Ken Wregget from Lethbridge during the season. Wregget came back to beat us with a Lethbridge team which also had two Sutter brothers in the lineup.”

Lubiniecki always had a knack for making good trades. When Rocky Trottier wouldn’t report one season, he made a six-player trade with Billings that brought Dave Brown and Dave Chartier to Saskatoon.

“I think of some players who really brought some character and skills to our team. We gave Chris McAllister a chance, when others wouldn’t, and he played professional 10 or 12 years. We gave Kelly Chase a chance when he was cut by Moose Jaw and he became pro for long time. We got Shaun Van Allen when he was cut by Swift Current and what a good player he became.”

Lubiniecki chuckles about “once trading Randy Smith to Calgary and then the next year, I got him back. Randy and his linemate, Larry DePalma, just tore up the league.”

Quite probably his favourite player was Wendel Clark, “who could shoot, skate and you didn’t have to tell him how hard he had to work. He just ate up so many minutes on the ice. And when Wendel hit you, it was like he was swinging all the way from Kelvington.”

Lubiniecki and the Blades parted ways in 1997.“We looked around and wondered if our team wasn’t

getting a little old. We decided to go younger. Donn Clark was our coach at the time and it seemed like he could see what was coming. He spoke up and warned against going too young and maybe he’d pay the price. We ran into a rash of injuries and Donn and I lost our jobs. I was disappointed because everyone knows I bled blue.”

Lubiniecki then joined Rick Brodsky in Prince George almost immediately as general manager, stayed until 2004, scouted for two years and then stepped away.

Memorial Cup brings back

memories

“Marcel was a coach who liked to post slogans in the dressing room. One of them was: ‘If you want to leave footprints in the sand, wear work boots.’ ”

As Daryl Lubiniecki watches the drama of this year’s Memorial Cup junior hockey tournament, he can’t be blamed if he

occasionally has flashbacks to 1988-89, when his Saskatoon Blades reached the national final.

It was the one that could have been Saskatoon’s only cup triumph in history, but it was one that slipped away.

The Blades took a 3-2 lead into the third period of the championship game against Swift Current, but the Broncos tied the score early in the third and notched the winning goal 3:25 into overtime.

Lubiniecki was the architect of the team, which had come close in two previous seasons, losing both times to the Medicine Hat Tigers, winners of the Memorial Cup both years.

“We knew in March, 1988, that we had won the bid, a decision partly based on the fact we were playing in a new building — Saskatchewan Place,” says Lubiniecki, who was the Blade coach from 1981 to 1984 and its general manager until 1997.

“We had built a quality hockey team. Three things happened that we never counted on. Tim Cheveldae, our goalie, was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings and we had been promised he’d be sent back to Saskatoon if he didn’t make the Red Wings. He went to minor pro in Adirondack. Curtis Leschyshyn, our best defenceman, was drafted by Quebec and he made the Nordiques. Tony Twist was our tough guy at the time, when toughness was probably more important than it is today, and he signed with St. Louis and played that year in Peoria.”

Lubiniecki, an active trader in his days, went looking. He acquired Ken Sutton, who brought the defensive skills, Darwin McPherson, who brought the toughness, and it wasn’t until right after Christmas that he landed goalie Mike Greenlay from Lake Superior State. The deck was relatively well-stacked up front with the likes of Scott Scissons, Kevin Kaminski, Kory Kocur, Colin Bauer, Tracy Katelnikoff, David Struch and Jason Christie.

With Marcel Comeau coaching, the team did well in the regular season.

“Our guys had a lot of character,” says Lubiniecki. “Marcel was a coach who liked to post slogans in the dressing room. One of them was: ‘If you want to leave footprints in the sand, wear work boots.’ That’s one that said the most about us.”

With a first round bye in the playoffs, Lubiniecki and his assistant, Dennis Beyak, went on some scouting missions, first to Medicine Hat and then to Prince Albert.

“I was a heavy smoker, almost three packs a day. Dennis and I were driving through Duck Lake and I started to feel pain in my chest. I asked Dennis to drive. We got to the rink In Prince Albert, they took me to the dressing room and gave me oxygen. I didn’t have a heart attack, but it seemed like it was everything but a heart attack. I went into the Royal University Hospital and I missed our first series, but I go out in time to see us play Swift Current.”

Swift Current won that series. Saskatoon was going into the Memorial Cup as the host team. Swift Current then beat Portland to earn its ticket to the tournament.

Saskatoon beat Laval, the Quebec champions, 5-3.


“There’s something called ‘second-impact syndrome.’ So if you get hit and you get a concussion— and this is very rare—but if you receive another blow and your head hasn’t fully healed, especially if you’re an adolescent, then you can die because there’s still so much swelling. That’s what happened in Ottawa. They’re saying she didn’t report any of her headaches or symptoms to her parents, but she had told some of her friends. There’s nothing they could really do in that case. It’s very sad.”

Now Miyazaki hopes to raise this awareness through working with the Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association (SBIA). She is part of Take Brain Injury Out of Play, a campaign within the association that strives to educate young athletes about the dangers of head injuries.

“We emphasize that if you’re going to respect your own brain, you’ve got to respect the brain of your opponents too. Part of that is playing by the rules,” said Miyazaki. “My job is to try and promote that program and go out and make people aware of concussions, because I think a lot of people don’t realize how big of an issue it is. They don’t take it as seriously as it needs to be taken because you can’t see it, right?”

“You look at someone and they look fine to you. If someone had a broken arm, you would never tell them to get back in the game. But if you look at someone and they just have a headache, people pressure them to get back in the game. This is something we need to stop as peers, coaches and parents.”

Miyazaki knows her football days are likely over. It’s not a guarantee, but neither is life.

“I decided not to play this year because it wasn’t worth it. Some days I still occasionally feel dizzy, which could be the concussions or my neck injury. It’s a hard thing; I know my parents don’t want me to play, and the thing is, they say once you’ve had one you’re so much more susceptible. That’s not good news for me.”

“There are so many other things that I want to do in my life that to risk that and have to sit out for months again, just for one sport, isn’t really worth it to me.”

June is National Brain Injury Awareness month and Miyazaki hopes that, with the added education and conversation about head injuries, athletes start to realize the importance of protecting their brains. To learn more about Miyazaki, the SBIA or the Take Brain Injury Out of Play campaign, email Miyazaki at [email protected] or go to the SBIA website at www.sbia.ca.

CORRECTION NOTICE

uestion: How did you feel about getting approval for both the North Parkway and Traffic bridges at the same executive committee

meeting?Mayor Atchison: It was a

phenomenal day. We need to have the Parkway Bridge and connecting roadways now. When you think into the future, more than 100,000 people will be living in the northeast, along with (the nearby) Holmwood development area. We really need that bridge today. We have the Integrated Growth Plan for Saskatoon. That means we are planning for growth, our needs are growing, our neighborhoods are growing and we are planning for the future now, not later.

Question: It will be six-lane bridge. Is that the right choice?

Mayor Atchison: Yes. There was discussion about whether we need six lanes. If you look at Circle Drive North, the proof is in the pudding. We started with four lanes, then went to six lanes because of the growth. And the same would have happened with the Parkway. The other thing people need to understand about the Parkway is this is not a freeway. Some people might be under the impression this is going to be a 100-mph roadway. It’s not. It is an arterial road, kind of like College Drive east of Cumberland. It could have development along it. This parkway will make it easier to travel from the northeast to the northwest and help deal with the 100,000 people living in the community.

Question: What are your thoughts on the Traffic Bridge, now that building a replica has been approved?

Mayor Atchison: The Traffic Bridge is another key component to growth in our community. If we want to have 10 per cent of our population living and working in the city-centre area, we have to get people in and out. On top of that our other bridges need maintenance so lanes will be closed. The University Bridge is going to require a one- to two-year maintenance program, followed by the Broadway Bridge and followed by the Senator Sid Buckwold Bridge. We need to make sure people and traffic can move easily.

The other thing that is really wonderful about the Traffic Bridge is the walkways are going to be about the same width as the walkway/pedestrian bridge underneath Circle Drive North. You are going to have that on both sides. The City has spoken to (pedestrian and cyclist groups) and they think with that much room on each side, there is plenty of space for everyone to co-mingle.

The other big thing is safety – getting emergency vehicles across the river. For example, on the old bridge, fire trucks couldn’t use it and ambulances were hard pressed to use it as well as transit. We are going to be able to use it for all those types of vehicles in the future.

Question: When is the city planning to pay attention to the roads in the north industrial area? They are in embarrassingly poor condition and haven’t been cleaned in several years. There is a water main break yearly at First Avenue and Circle Drive.

Mayor Atchison: There were two

breaks there. It broke once in the winter and then it broke again in a different place on the water main. It is one of those areas where we are going to have to use concrete to stabilize it. I think it is a lot to do with soil conditions.

When people talk about clean streets, we do clean them. The problem we’ve run into in the past is a lot of the properties there are not

hard surface. Consequently, it’s like Murphy’s Law. You clean it one day, it rains that night and the next day you have mud tracked back onto the streets. There is a new city policy now in all the new areas: when you build, you have to hard surface the areas. People complain about that being very expensive and I don’t deny that, but how do you accommodate the needs of both?

(Note: Go to www.saskatoon.ca and click on “street sweeping.” There, you will find the interactive map to let you know when your neighbourhood will be swept. The map is updated weekly.)

As for potholes, city crews are fixing arterial roads. On really bad sections, they go in with asphalt, lay it over the roadway, then blade it and pack it.

(Note: If you want to report a pothole, phone 306-975-2476. You can go online to www.saskatoon.ca to report potholes and check paving and repair schedules.)

Question: Recently a group of residents dumped leaves from their yards onto the street to protest the street sweeping program. What are your thoughts on this?

Mayor: Every person in Saskatoon wants to have their street cleaned first. I am not sure there is anyone in the city who says, “Please, fix the pothole in front of my house last.” I am not sure anyone has said, “Please remove the snow in front of my house last.” Someone is first and someone is near the end. Here’s what we do. If you are first this year, you fall down the list next year. Eventually, you are at the bottom and then you move to the top. It’s a rotating list. No one is permanently last or permanently first.

Question: Left-hand turn lanes have been added on First Avenue. What affect will they have on traffic?

Mayor Atchison: I think city crews have done a wonderful job there accommodating the five-o’clock rush hour when you are south bound. People are making left-hand turns into other areas; you get the traffic lined up all the way down that left lane.

What we have been able to do is narrow the lanes slightly, but allow enough room for vehicles to safely travel and we put in the left-turn lane going both directions. We have painted turn arrows onto the roadway, so we are trying to help out there too.

There used to be a double line, so it was illegal to pull out of a parkade to go across one lane of traffic to turn left. Now, we have that centre lane that allows you to pull in and then safely move into the flow of traffic.

(Send your questions for Mayor Atchison to [email protected]. Please put “mayor’’ in the place line.)

KEN NOSKYEColumnist

I am trying to figure out what to do this summer. I try and figure out ways to keep close to an urban area, but far

enough away to feel like I am being left alone. It’s not that I am antisocial, but one of my pleasures is to be part of that peace and balance I feel when surrounded by tall evergreens and the sound of a river flowing by.

About the only time I didn’t have to camp out was when I talked my way into a highway construction job. I had decided to hitchhike all over Northern Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. I was in Northern Alberta when I came upon a construction project on a highway. I noticed

this was a camp job, where the workers stayed for weeks at a time and then were sent home.

I walked over to an open fire pit where some of the workers had gathered. I had my huge back pack and bags I was carrying. Of course, they were all looking at me when I entered their site. I asked one of them if I could have fresh water. “Of course, man,” one replied.

Then, I hung out with them for about an hour. The supervisor asked if I could use a job. He also asked if I ever operated heavy equipment. “It’s been years,” I replied.

“That’s OK,’’ he replied. “Things haven’t changed much, and I’m sure you’ll catch

on.’’What he failed to do was allow me to

finish my first response. If he would have allowed me, he would have heard: “It’s been years since I had to do hard work.”

I was assigned to a bed in one of the trailers. I hardly slept as I was worried about what I got myself into. Early in the morning I went outside to talk to the supervisor; I was planning to confess and continue to hitchhike.

“I bet you’re wondering what machine you’ll be operating, eh?’’ he said.

He then walked me over to a small front-end loader.

“This should be fun,’’ I said to myself.I stayed there, doing basically simple

tasks that needed to be done. Evenings were the best. This is when most of the workers would get together by the fire. Sometimes,

we were there for hours, although in the summer the sun comes up early.

I stayed there most of the summer. When the contract ended, they wanted to take me along to their next project. I explained I still had a month or two to do what I had originally set out to do and was going to move on.

Not only had I met some real cool people and had a great time, I was also a part of a highway construction project. Every now and then I drive on that highway and wonder where they are building now. It felt good to be part of something more than just a project because it was a small part of building a nation. It also felt good to be able to hitchhike all over northern part of the provinces with a little extra cash.

Dear Reena,I have a box of old-fashioned

moss killer for roofs, but suspect that it is not environmentally friendly. Can you please possibly direct me to a safe product and its supplier? Many thanks for any help that you can provide. — Ian

Dear Ian,In order to clean moss off

a roof: Combine 500 grams zinc sulphate with 12 litres of water. Spray on, but do not scrub. Double or triple recipe as needed. (Taken from Household Solutions 1 with substitutions)

Hello Reena, I always read your tips in my

newspaper and think your environmental solutions are great. Maybe you can help me with my stinky drains? We rented

our house out one year, and when we came back our drains smelled horrible. I have tried vinegar and baking soda, but it doesn’t work. Do you have any other solutions? — Heidi

Hi Heidi,Believe me, you are not

alone. I receive hundreds of letters from people with the “stinky-drain challenge”. The overnight baking soda, hot water and vinegar solution is a powerful way to freshen drains. Using this method once a month has no disadvantages. However, if your sink continues to smell, you may have a clog in your pipes which will need to be cleaned out. Other causes of

smelly drains are old grease sitting in pipes for a long period and becoming rancid, or poor ventilation. Instead of vinegar, pour one cup household non-sudsing ammonia

down the drain and chase with one cup of baking soda. Plug drain and leave overnight. Do not drain until morning.

If the smell remains, call a plumber to check out the system and vent lines. The plumber should also check valves and controls needed to bring the job up to code.

Dear Reena,My daughter has a hamster that our

entire family enjoys. Like many things in life, there is a downside to our furry critter; the smell is nauseating. We clean the cage and the next day the smell fills the air once again. Any ideas of how we can prolong the fresh smell? — Roxanna

Hi Roxanna,Your first step is to ensure the cage

is cleaned properly. The bottom of the cage needs a good scrubbing, along with anything inside the cage and the wire on the cage. A well-cleaned cage should not smell the next day. Clean the cage with

cola or baking soda, water and dish soap.In order to prolong the fresh smell,

there are products available at pet stores. One is Carefresh. These shavings are made of reclaimed cellulose instead of wood and absorb additional foul odours. Carefresh is biodegradable and flushable in small quantities. Some pet stores also carry a spray that can be sprayed inside the cage to tackle foul stinkiness.

Extra solutions• Run out of itching ointment? Blend

Cheerios® and apply a small amount of water to make a terrific paste for relieving itch from poison ivy or bug bites.

• Run out of foot cream? Massage feet with butter, wrap in a damp, hot towel and sit for 10 minutes. Your feet will feel revitalized.

I enjoy your questions and tips, so keep them coming. Missed a column? Can’t remember a solution? Need a speaker for an upcoming event? Follow me on Twitter and checkout my website at reena.ca.

ELAINE HNATYSHYN

Columnist

The advent of summer brings with it the urge to explore and discover Saskatchewan.

I went to Somewhere, Saskatchewan last week. The purpose of my visit was to hear one of Saskatoon’s best talents, Carrie Catherine. Carrie was born and raised in our city and over the years has become a prominent singer, songwriter and musician. Aside from being the recipient of awards recognizing her artistry, she was featured in Ms. Chatelaine last year and often can be heard on television, radio and satellite. More than that, she is also a mentor to and promoter of Saskatchewan’s performing artists.

Somewhere, Saskatchewan is any one of the small, diminishing villages or towns that, in years gone by, populated this province. It is also a theatre presentation, authored by playwright Kelly Jo Burke, with music composed by Carrie, and wherein Carrie added a new genre to her repertoire — acting.

The story line is fitting for today’s Saskatchewan. In a nutshell, a young Saskatchewan singer/songwriter/musician leaves her Prairie home for the bright lights of the big city, seeking a successful career in the music world. After a time, with waning confidence and disillusioned as to her future, like the prodigal daughter, she begins her journey home. Along the way, through happenstance, she winds up stuck in small town Saskatchewan. It is there that she discovers the essence of her home province, its people and their sense of community. Eventually, she reclaims an abandoned space and develops the Opry House for performing arts, fulfilling not only her own dreams, but building a roadway for other dreamers.

The play was performed at the Dancing Sky Theatre in Meacham, Saskatchewan, a quaint village about 40 minutes east of Saskatoon. Based on the last census, Meacham is home to about 100 souls. I was stunned that this small community would also be home to a beautiful theatre, fully equipped with stage lighting, good acoustics, comfortable seating and an ambiance of performance inclusiveness that only a small venue can provide. The Dancing Sky Theatre was developed by Louisa and Angus Ferguson, who gave new life to an old vacant building in small-town Saskatchewan. They have dedicated

their careers primarily to showcasing Saskatchewan and Canadian talent.

Our tickets included dinner and, having eaten in small town hockey arenas over the years, I had no expectations of a great culinary experience. To our delight, the four-course dinner turned out to be exceptional. At first, we thought it might have been catered from the city, but discovered it was all done on site. What a

bonus!The theatre isn’t the

only enterprise to locate in Meacham. Another reclaimed building hosts the Harvest Moon Antiques, Gallery and Gift Shop, which offers sales and shows of Canadian arts and crafts. And while visiting, an excursion to the Hand Wave Gallery featuring Saskatchewan art would be in order. We didn’t have time to visit these shops before the theatre, but at a

glance they will be worth a return visit. And rumour has it that several artists have acquired space in this vicinity, either to create their art or as getaways.

At evening’s end, with the absence of light pollution, the prairie sky had a show of its own with a moon and constellations that is all but lost to city dwellers blinded by neon glare. The stillness and quiet of the country night brought a sense of peace and serenity to the cosmos.

The revitalization and repopulation of rural Saskatchewan may be the best spinoff of the provincial and city boom. A 40-minute or less drive to the city seems inconsequential when compared to the driving time to cross our city. For a young family, it would mean kids could be outdoors doing what kids do best — playing, walking, biking and learning from each other, rather than hasty rides to a sports arena or organized time at someone’s home. The phrase “it takes a village to raise a child” would be meaningful. Or perhaps I’m romanticizing and enjoying a walk down memory lane, wearing rose-coloured glasses.

Country life isn’t for everyone, but the having the option is a blessing. With old buildings begging for reclamation, I expect the housing would be affordable and the living easy. And if the city grows in the next decade or two as anticipated, property in small town Saskatchewan may be a worthwhile investment.

Saskatoon’s Chimo Chordsmen will celebrate their 40th anniversary with

a performance at the Broadway Theatre on May 26 at 3 p.m.

Celebrating is all well and good, according to Ken Stephenson, who’s been a member since the beginning, but as a champion of barbershop singing, Stephenson points to another happy sign.

“One of our guest quartets will be the Sharpflats, who have been formed by Chimo’s assistant director Sean Mueller. The quartet consists of four University of Saskatchewan students. It is always encouraging when you see young people step up and get involved,” says Stephenson.

No one knows better than Stephenson how difficult it is to recruit new members.

“People think they have to be able to read music. All they have to do is carry a tune, learn to be part of a team, and there is much to be gained from the music and the sociability.”

Also appearing on the program will be the Trademark Quartet, an award-winning combination from Calgary, and Northern Blend, a group of women singers from Prince Albert. The Chordsmen portion will be conducted by David Puls.

For Stephenson, it’s another day on the stage. One of his most recent honours was induction into the Land of the Lakes Hall of Fame, a barbershopping organization which extends from Saskatoon through to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Alexis Normand has taken a fresh, distinctive approach to bring her love of the Prairies to music audiences.

Normand, a bilingual singer-songwriter, formed collaborated with Zoe Fortier, a visual artist, to capture the joy in a CD, Mirador, which has already gained significant attention in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.

The CD gained her two nominations — best new artist, and best album in Western Canada — at the Gala des Prix Trille Or, considered to be akin to the Juno awards for francophone artists in Canada.

Normand will introduce songs from Mirador, most in French, and will also blend some more of her folksy-jazzy approach to vocals in the Roots series at The Bassment on May 24 at 9 p.m.

Originally from Saskatchewan, Normand pursued her musical education at the University of Ottawa, graduating in 2007, and then studied for a year at L’ecole nationale de la chanson.

“I met Zoe in 2009 through the French community and we thought it would be cool if the two of us, as emerging artists, could share some creative ideas. We really wanted to develop our physical links to the Prairies. Sometimes we would go out together. Some songs are based on scenery, some based on topics of the day. Zoe’s art would inspire me. Or I might finish a song and then look for her creative input,” says Normand.

She chose 10 songs for the CD, nine of which are in French. One is called Land of the Living Skies, which is a tale of the openness on the Prairies. The visual attachments are scenic strengths, but the two of them explored many ideas in the process, including the experience of playing bingo on 20th Street in Saskatoon.

For many of the touring shows, Fortier’s graphic designs were projected onto screens on the stages. There won’t be any visuals on screen at The Bassment, but Normand will have some art on show and will distribute booklets with English translations

of the songs she chooses to sing in French. She will be accompanied by Gent Laird on bass and Christian Kongawi on drums.

Don Griffith, artistic director of the Saskatoon Jazz Society, is catching Normand on the heels of a whirlwind-paced eight months.

She and Fortier introduced the CD in Saskatchewan in the fall. Then Normand went east where she laughs “about my first red carpet experience at the Trille Or.” Then she came back to Saskatchewan to do a string of dates with Rosie and the Riveters, a Saskatoon vocal quartet specializing in

folk and gospel music with a 1940s flavour. Her partners on the Riveters’ project are Farideh, Mellisa Nygren and Kiera Dall’Osto They played two dates at The Bassment in mid-April.

Normand also won Radio Canada Saskatchewan’s contest for singer-songwriters a year ago, winning with Cet Horizon, which became the official theme song for the provincial year of the Fransaskois.

She is now working on material, mixing the realms of jazz and folk, for her next recording project.

phone 306-469-2022Anecdotally at least, Saskatoon

must have one of the most storied histories of making relatively

simple decisions as agonizingly drawn out as possible.

A casino. Remai art gallery. Gathercole. Lake Placid. Doming downtown. An NHL team. Cosmo Industries and recycling. All Saskatoon sagas that have gone round and round city council and coffee row forever, only to end up at their inevitable conclusions anyway (or so it seems in hindsight). All topics that are testimonies to indecision and the old adage that when you try and please everyone, you please no one.

Perhaps the most ridiculous saga lately is the firestorm of controversy around Saskatoon’s latest venture into the 21st century — food trucks. Think ice cream truck, but with more tacos and less loud, hysteria-inducing music.

Food trucks: name a city in Canada, it has them. Even Regina. Of course, in Saskatoon we’ve got to turn this into a tangled mess of trying to progress, while not making anyone even the slightest bit uncomfortable.

The story began to unfold in January, when city council asked for “public input” on the notion of food trucks in Saskatoon. (Didn’t we give our public input when we voted them into council? To make decisions?)

The public input was then compiled into a report to go before council in March. The main issue was whether or not motorized food trucks should be allowed to take up a downtown public parking spot, or remain restricted to private parking lots. The underlying issue? A bunch of grumbly downtown restaurant owners who don’t want food trucks on their turf.

In March, city councillors voted in favour of Saskatoon food trucks, and then things got really silly. The original proposal outlined a one-year pilot project allowing mobile food trucks to park in public stall as long as they stayed 30 metres away from an existing restaurant. So in other words — no food trucks on Broadway. Ridiculous.

Meanwhile, the owner of Bus Stop Refreshments — the stationary double-decker bus across from the Bessborough — was circulating a petition against food trucks, stating a risk of “market saturation.” I love the Bus Stop — a weekend ice cream cone from the red double-decker is a summer tradition. But as for food — they serve hot dogs at the Bus Stop. I think the

market can bear the competition.So instead of making a decision,

councillors asked city officials to review the areas where food trucks can operate and Mayor Don Atchison, apparently a newly-minted restaurant socialist, suggested the trucks need to be taxed heavier to ensure “a level playing field.”

More consulting, more reporting ensued.

Finally, last week, Saskatoon’s planning and operations committee approved a report on the trucks and forwarded the issue to city council for their stamp of approval (or not) on May 21. The revised report included changes that reduces the “buffer zones” between restaurants and food trucks, opening up areas like the riverbank, Broadway and Sutherland to the concept. If council green-lights, we could be

eating food-truck fare next month. Oh, hold the phone! A Broadway

coffee shop owner is raising a stink over potties — namely where food truck customers are going to go after chowing down those tacos. Seriously people? Are we doing this?

Feeling somewhat like a broken record, it bears repeating: Saskatoon is a growing city. New, exciting things happen in growing cities. Like food trucks, which are not complicated. Bridges, as it turns out, are extremely complicated. So let’s focus on them, shall we?

In the future, if city council does not find a way to get inconsequential, free-market driven issues like this off their desks in less than six months, we need to quit bragging about our city’s growth and worry more about our leaders and business owners simply growing up.

NEW IN BUSINESS

Cam HutchinsonSaskatoon Express

Dave Wilson is a pest control professional, a store owner, an educator and sometimes a

counsellor. That’s all within the same job.Wilson, the man known for driving a

hearse around town to promote Kreepy Kritterz Pest Control, has added a retail component to his business.

“There are two markets in my industry — one is service and one is retail,’’ Wilson said from his new store on 33rd Street West. “On the service side, I can help everybody that needs it from every angle. But there are a lot of people out there that are do-it-yourselfers that have the time to experiment. Cost comes into play as well.’’

To serve those customers, he opened a store.

He estimates that 75 per cent of his job is educating his clients. He cites the example of a woman who was recently divorced. When her children arrived home

Sherry Mezzo relates her business in Mont Nebo to the show Corner Gas.

Everybody’s a regular and it’s the only business in town.

Her dad opened the small general store in 1978, and it has been a cornerstone of the small hamlet ever since.

“It had everything from the post office to groceries and confections,” said Mezzo. “It has changed a lot over the years; we are more a convenience store now, but we have everything from fireworks to toys to gas.”

Residents in Mont Nebo fondly refer to the confectionary store as the Mont Nebo Mall, said Mezzo with a laugh. Her newest venture (with husband Glenn Mezzo and daughter Shalaine Mezzo), Yogurt Temptation in Saskatoon, is a bit more specialized.

“I went to Arizona for the

winter and I fell in love with the frozen yogurt concept,” said Sherry Mezzo. “I started doing a lot of research and wondering if it would work here (in Saskatoon) and if everybody would like the concept of self-serve.”

Mezzo decided to go forward with the idea. Originally she partnered with a franchise, but decided she would rather forge ahead her own with Yogurt Temptation, a name Shalaine chose.

“We had some troubles and then we decided to persevere and carry on and just do it ourselves,” said Mezzo. “This way, we can do our own stuff too, like bring different things in. We’ve been open about two months under this name.”

The different things Mezzo refers to are food products unique to Yogurt Temptation. One of these products is Dole whip, a non-dairy, non-fat frozen dessert that comes straight from the Dole Plantation in Hawaii.

“They have Dole Whip at Disneyland, but not a lot of other places have it,” said Mezzo. “One lady came in and said, ‘Oh, my gosh, I am going to put this on Facebook and tell me whole family!’ They had fallen in love with it at Disneyland and said they were in crazy lineups.

“It has its health aspects, being dairy-free. A lot of people want the healthier options, so we have different options like the Greek yogurt. It’s so popular as an alternative and it’s more creamy and our best seller.”

More research on Mezzo’s part meant that Yogurt Temptation brought in the natural sweetener, Stevia, rather than sweeteners with aspartame in them. It is little touches like these that make them stand out, according to Mezzo. Little touches and the customer service learned while working at the Mont Nebo Mall, that is.

“We have the small town friendliness and one person commented because we visit

Old-fashioned service at new yogurt bar

with people; we are just so used to that in the country,” said Mezzo. “Some people are kind of shocked (at a lot of businesses) are get in, get out, hello, goodbye. Lots of people like to visit and we are getting to know a lot of regulars and what they do.”

Yogurt Temptation’s flavours are rotated weekly. Chocolate and vanilla are staples, says Mezzo, but they try to keep things interesting with flavours like Cherry Tart and Pineapple.

Yogurt Temptation is located at the Grosvenor Park Mall at 2105 Eighth Street East. It is beside Ultracuts and near Traxx Footwear. It is open from noon to 9 p.m. on weekdays and noon to 10 p.m. on weekends. Yogurt Temptation’s Facebook page is www.facebook.com/yogurttemptation and you can call them at 306-249-3149.

from a visit with their father, they were covered in bedbug bites.

“They went home and she started freaking out because she is already stressed out and it took everything to the next level. I went there and talked to her for about an hour and a half to explain everything about what to and what not to expect. It helped a bit and eventually she came down to get some peace-of-mind products for prevention, just to assist the knowledge she had gained.’’

The children weren’t allowed to visit their father until he solved the problem.

He said his favourite clients are those that “want the best, know the best and are willing to cooperate to the best of their ability. That is what we strive for; the client that cares about quality and is willing to take that extra 10 minutes to ask questions and get the answers.’’

He is approaching a busy season with people wanting help with “spiders, ants, mice, voles, weevils, wasps, bedbugs and cockroaches.’’

He said cockcroach treatments have been on the rise.

“Two years ago, I did about five treatments. Last year, in three quarters of a year, about 300. Part of it could be because my business is becoming better known, but cockroaches transfer easier than bedbugs. One female needs to be impregnated once to produce eggs for the rest of her life.’’

He said he doesn’t like dealing with bats.

“They are so time consuming. They can get in and out of everything. You can go a week without bats or a month without them — it is hit and miss. We’re slowly getting away from it. If I can’t provide the results, then we don’t do it.’’

He said his store carries products you won’t find at a big box store. They are unique to people in his industry, he said.

“Our products are designed to work on everything classified as a pest.’’

He carries a full range of sprays and mouse traps. He has a product that has a spray range of six to 12 feet for wasp nests. A nice head start if you have to make a run for it.

Kreepy Kritters retail outlet is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The store is located in a red and black striped home at 219 33rd Street West, across from Safeway. For more information, go to www.kreepykritterz.com or call 306-244-4105.

High schoolstudents offeredbusiness course

The Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan will introduce a new credit course for high

school students in the fall. The course is designed to give young people an understanding of the role of business in the world and of career potential in the field.

To be offered through distance learning in the Sun West School Division in west central Saskatchewan, Introduction to Business will teach students “about the various roles and functions of business, and about the types of personal skills and qualities they need to succeed in business,” said Keith Willoughby, associate dean academic in Edwards. “They’ll not only learn to identify these skills and qualities in themselves but the course will also give them the chance to practice and refine those skills.”

The course will be taught in nine modules with U of S professors and instructors presenting a series of online lectures, he explained. There will be hands-on activities and group projects, along with self-directed research in areas like the global marketplace, business ethics, entrepreneurship, human resource management, marketing, and finances and financial institutions.

Using the entrepreneurship and small business module as an example, Willoughby explained students will interview local business owners and entrepreneurs to explore trends and experiences in business. What they find will then be compared to documented trends, challenging the high school students to think critically about what is shaping entrepreneurship and small business ownership today.

“Our objective is to ensure that each student has the opportunity to acquire, practice and refine their skills and experiences in a way that will help them succeed in postsecondary education and future employment.”

For more information, contact Willoughby at [email protected] or 306-966-2128.

Susan Kesler

Dear Susan, I am a single mom who has returned to

college. Going to school & raising my son on my own has left me with limited funds to allow for any sort of personal “pampering.” I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a haircut! I’ll be entering the work force soon and I’m tired of looking like a run-down mom. I’d like a fresh, new look so that I look like a confident and collected “career woman.” My “T-shirt & jeans, no make-up and hair in a pony tail look” has got to go. I really need all the help I can get! - Sincerely Joelle

We kept Joelle’s new look simple and quick. We cut and layered her hair giving her height at the crown and a little flip at the ends. When I colour draped Joelle I found that she was a cool summer. She looks best in soft pastel colours that are blue-based. Colour is such an important factor in choosing clothing for both men and women. Wrong colours can give your complexion a dull or sallow look. People will tend to notice the suit or dress before they notice your face when the colours are too strong or too pale for you.

For a quick make-up routine Joelle used a mineral powder foundation and a soft mauve blush placed high on her cheekbones. Did you know that blush is the product most women misapply? Her beautiful green eyes were accented with a smoke eyeliner, black mascara and lavender eye shadows. To complete Joelle’s look I applied a soft pink lip gloss and voila – a new woman!

In 1970, Marvin Henderson’s dream of opening a greenhouse became a

reality. He was well known for his knowledge as a horticulturist and landscaper. Marvin and his wife, Gale, felt that quality over quantity was paramount from the beginning and still holds true today.

Upon the passing of Marvin in 1999, his son, Doug, took

over as Grower and Manager with the help of Gale and her three daughters, Tracy, Joelle and Heather.

We offer a wide selection of unique items for your home and garden. The greenhouse is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Dear Lianne,This is to all the people out there who know that a friend is being

cheated on and keep it hush hush. I feel like I am the laughing stock of Saskatoon and I am so mad that everyone but me knew about him and his floozy.

If that ever happens, people should spill the beans. Just wondering what you think.

— Skunked

Dear Skunked,This can be a tricky

situation. You run the risk of jeopardizing a friendship either way.

Although a true friend may have a hard time bringing this information to someone’s attention, I feel that it is their moral obligation to inform their friend of the facts. More often than not, the victim has a gut feeling that they are ignoring. It is a shame for everyone around the person to be aware of the infidelity except the person being cheated on.

It is important that you are calm and tell the person face to face and in a private environment. Be prepared to answer all sorts of questions and have your friend not believe you initially.

Be gentle in your approach. You may want to consider asking your friend how she might handle knowing that her friend’s spouse is being unfaithful and then take your lead by the way she answers. Most cheaters are very convincing, so do not be surprised if her unfaithful husband tries to make her believe that you are just causing trouble.

Dear Lianne,Thanks to you I have found THE

ONE. It feels amazing to have made a

connection and have love and hope. He is a wonderful man who lives two hours away. We alternate between driving, and always stay out way too late. My question is about the children. He is raising two great kids, ages 15 and 17. I have never been in a relationship that has involved children. I have met them, but I am not sure where I fit in. Do I have a role or am I just a silent partner?

Also, because of the distance, would it be appropriate to ever spend the night at their house? I would stay in the guest

room, but am not sure where the boundaries are?

— Donna

Dear Donna,Dealing with teens can be

tricky. The relationship that they have with their mother and how they have dealt with the breakup of their parents will be one of the factors in how they react to you. Take baby steps and allow them to get to know you for you, and not as a mother figure. Your relationship with them will

evolve as time goes on. I would urge you not to spend the

night at their home when the children are present. I would suggest staying at a hotel in his area. Take time solidifying your relationship with him and the rest will play out. Enjoy being in love! I am so glad I was able to make a difference in your life.

I have an imaginary photo of Barak Obama in my home gym/garage. The prez pounds a treadmill every day, prior

to his popping into the boy’s room for a couple of smokes (yes, he smokes).

If a guy, whose job description includes running the free world, cleaning up dog poop, declaring war (usually after cleaning up dog poop) can take time out of his schedule to exercise, then so can a guy who runs the free world of Hepburn. (It’s not a planet sane folks would ever want to visit without serious shots, including whiskey.)

So I climb on to my elliptical, crank up the iTunes and pound away knowing Barak is doing the same – a virtual mirror image, with a slight colour variation.

But something happens about the 13.468-minute mark. I quit singing Pop Goes The World and my brain waves change. Ideas start pouring in. “The cure for cancer has to be … The best way to rob a TD bank is … So I keep a pad of paper and a pen on the dash of the elliptical. When an idea strikes, I reach for my pen. On cue, the pen falls off the dash onto the floor. I reach down to retrieve it while trying not to miss a beat but, 110 per cent of the time, my headphone wires loop around the pedals which causes the iPod to fall which in turn yanks the earbuds out of my ears like a rocket, taking with it parts of my ear canal and possibly a bit of grey matter from my frontal lobe. But this is still where my best ideas come from every time.

Can exercise make us smarter? If so, is more necessarily better? Research has looked at how well people perform mentally, both while exercising and

immediately after an exercise session. Other research has examined the association between fitness level and age-related cognitive decline. Both show positive correlations.

During a session of moderately intense aerobic exercise, mental performance improves in several measurable ways, including:

* Reaction time (except in grabbing falling iPods).

* Executive control processes, such as: planning, scheduling, working memory — the brain’s ability to temporarily store and manage information, and inhibition — the ability to block out unnecessary, which is the ability to block out unnecessary distractions, such as painfully losing a portion of your ear canal.

Improved cognitive function actually begins to show after about 20 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and will be maintained for about

another 40 minutes. The positive cognitive effects of exercising for 20 to 60 minutes are primarily related to increase in blood flow to the brain and stimulation of nerve cells to release more neurotransmitters (chemicals that send signals between brain cells).

But beyond 60 minutes of exercise, fatigue is likely to become a factor. Mental performance is trumped by exhaustion after 60 minutes. Once fatigue sets in, you start to lose the mental edge you have gained. If exercise continues, then mental performance actually will decline to a level lower than where you started.

OK, my work out is done, ideas wrangled, article written, Barak back on the wall, dog happy. Time for a smoke.

60 minutes of exercisewill make you smarter

I am an injury-prone person. My family knows this, my friends know this and my teammates know this. I

don’t know if it’s a case of “wrong place, wrong time” or if I can credit this to clumsiness, but I do know that hospitals should give out frequent-flyer miles to people like me. Get two x-rays, third one’s on us!

Last week, I was out running with friends when I noticed something was wrong with my right foot (Note: I am doing physio on my LEFT foot once a week for a different injury). We were squeezing in a few extra kilometres before the Saskatchewan Marathon this weekend. The pain wasn’t too serious, just a tightness I had never felt before. Within a couple of hours, I had trouble bearing any weight on it. Nurse mom to the rescue: She wrapped it in a tensor bandage and off I went to work.

As timing would have it, this was no typical day at work. This was Exile Island Day. I was asked to help out the Children’s Wish Foundation on this exciting fundraising day, when corporate teams battle against each other in a series of challenges to support the foundation and their own wish child. I was paired with the Innovation Credit Union in North Battleford—The INNcredibles— and our wish child was Okeira Ellis, a young girl who spent the first 15 months of her life in hospital after she was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, a neurological disease that causes an inflammation across the spinal cord.

After a morning of four-legged races, puzzles and mostly hobbling on my part, we were introduced to Okeira. She is confined to a wheelchair

and has a tracheotomy to assist her breathing, which means she can’t speak. Immediately, her mom, Dayle Ellis, explained this to us with a big smile and a hug for each tribe member. I looked around at several INNCredible team members; they were wiping away tears, smearing their superhero masks; it’s hard not to be truly affected by Okeira’s family and the positivity that emanated

from them. Here I was, bitter because I

had run myself into an injury and the doctor at RUH said I had to nix the marathon. I went home and cried, while my family rubbed my back and said they were sorry. Sorry for what? My healthy body and its ability to heal itself? In times like this, when perspective really is the key word. Okeira’s body will never heal, but her spirit is

strong, and that’s something I could take a cue from. She paints, with a paintbrush between her teeth, she swims and she’s got an incredible bond with her family. She has already overcome odds that I cannot fathom facing at such a young age.

The event was a huge success. Exile Island raised more than $125,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation and for kids like Okeira. Okeira’s wish is to go to Disney World, and her family hopes they will be able to go by the end of this year. It all depends on her health and if she will be able to travel at that time.

Thanks goes to Exile Island, the Children’s Wish Foundation and Okeira Ellis for teaching me a thing or two about courage and staying positive in the face of disappointment. Suddenly, my foot doesn’t seem like such a big problem anymore. I truly hope Okeira gets to Disney World this year and her family has the vacation they so truly deserve.

A lesson learned from Okeira

Wildlife habilitationnurtures the injured

Jan Shadickfor the Saskatoon Express

Cats, cars, dogs, power lines and windows are but a few of the numerous obstacles that wildlife will

encounter as they migrate, raise their young and generally co-exist with humans. Wildlife rehabilitation is one way to balance the scales. Spring and summer are the busiest times of year for rehabilitators as this is when nature is waking up, and babies start arriving.

Mothers are out and about seeking food for hungry young, which are peeping, whining, and growling. This is the time of year that most people encounter wildlife. Have you ever found a baby hare and wondered if it was OK? The short answer is “probably.” Like deer, hares leave their young alone to protect them, through being ‘invisible’ to predators. Unless they are bleeding, shivering and crying, they are likely just fine so leave them be.

Ducks have taken to nesting in the city, which is an area quite safe from most predators, but not convenient for the ducklings to navigate the many dangers to reach water. They fall down storm drains, get stuck at curbs and are scattered by dogs. Sometimes they need a helping hand to make it to water with Mom. If you have a situation where mamma duck will have a long or complicated walk to water, call the Wildlife Hotline for advice about how to handle the situation.

Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation in

Saskatoon receives many birds that are picked up by well-meaning folks who believe they are injured, such as fledgling birds who often spend a few days hopping around the yard, peeping loudly for the parents to come feed them. These little guys often look injured due to their clumsy attempts at getting airborne. They are just adolescents who have not perfected their flight techniques quite yet.

If you encounter any injured or orphaned wild animal or bird you are concerned about, call the Wildlife Hotline at 306-242-7177. Volunteers with the provincial Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan will answer your questions, and if the animal needs help, they may direct you to Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation in Saskatoon.

Last year, Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation cared for 290 wild birds and 40 mammals. Following several weeks or months of care, most of these animals and birds were successfully re-introduced back into the wild. Funding for their food, medicine and upkeep comes primarily from donations.

Let’s all help keep Saskatchewan wildlife Wild!

Do you ever feel depleted, like you your energy bank account has run out and you are ready to declare

energy bankruptcy? It is a common problem for work-

ing women with high expectations for themselves. We tend to compare our work productivity with the men at the office, while still knock-ing ourselves out trying to be the ultimate wife and mother. If you know this feeling, it is time to adjust your energy expectations and actions.

It starts with the aware-ness that just like time and money, our energy is a form of currency. And we each have a diversified portfolio comprised of physical, men-tal, emotional and spiritual energy — four very different, but deeply interrelated currencies.

As with the money markets, when the value of one energy goes down, it affects the others. Thus, it's in our best interest to cultivate all our energies to have physical stamina, mental engagement, emotional nurturance and spiritual connection.

The investment in awareness and man-agement to grow these currencies carries a high interest rate with good returns. And it can be accomplished by incorporating a few simple things into our daily lives. Let me explain:

Physical Energy is the energy of movement, which provides you with the strength to take action. But it can burn out in the absence of self-regulation. When we are exhausted at work but keep working without stopping to replenish our energy, we risk our physical health. (In fact, I remember being so driven that I would ig-nore my body’s cry to go to the bathroom and carry on working). Take it from me, it is worth it to tune into your body’s wisdom and listen to its needs before you get sick. None of the other energies will be there for you if you ignore your physical needs. To maintain and restore physical energy, it helps to breathe deeply, eat small amounts of food often, move your body each day (vacuuming counts, as does stretches at the kitchen sink), drink water and lie in bed for at least six hours each night — sleep will come and rest is powerful.

Mental Energy powers the mind. We use it for absorbing new facts and learning to use new technologies (like our ever-evolving social media). Mental energy is propelled by thought, such as conceptual thinking, concentration and analysis. But a strong, vigilant mind can also be overactive — worries and concerns can enter our heads, wasting our energy if we allow them to linger. Maintain your mental energy by replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations and self-talk, while visualizing your success. Question

your thoughts and really examine if what they are telling you is true. Too many of us will jump from a minor incident to disaster. Women are especially prone to this. A good way to get beyond the mind is to look for the good that could come from the incident, as Bradley Cooper does in the

movie Silver Linings Playbook. Emotional Energy is the ener-

gy of feelings, including how we relate to ourselves and to others. Treat yourself as tenderly as you would an adopted child yearn-ing for love. No more looking in the mirror and pulling on parts of your body unkindly. And treat others the same way — give love unconditionally, without expec-tations. Let go of judgment and practice forgiveness. When you think well of others, you extend those positive feelings to yourself

and that increases emotional energy. Find-ing fault with others is really a projection of how you feel about yourself, which is depleting. Live your life with gratitude. To do this, stop and focus on the moment and find something to appreciate in the here and now.

Spiritual Energy finds a deeper con-nection, which gives meaning and identity to our lives. When we align our external actions with our innermost values, we'll connect to our soul's purpose, providing a reason for being. I experience this when-ever I get a touching email from a woman telling me that my personal revelations have made a difference in her life.

Spiritual energy can be restored by finding silence through prayer, readings, chanting or being in nature. We are all individuals and our spiritual practices are as unique as we are. Find what works for you. I believe that the biggest connection to spirit is making a conscious contact with a higher being and trusting the wisdom of that power. It is a huge relief to turn things over to the grace and flow of life. When you listen to your inner voice, you’ll find the magic of small miracles in your life each and every day.

Our physical actions follow our mental thoughts, which are directed by our emo-tion. All are held in place by our spiritual belief system, which tells us what matters. Each of us has a passion and a reason for being. So spend some time thinking about what gives you energy and what takes it away. The things that make you feel like getting out of bed in the morning and propel you forward are the things that re-ally matter to you. If you can get in touch with what makes your heart sing, you can direct all your energy there with clarity and intention. Imagine how much more valuable your energy will be? Like a rising dollar, you’ll be able to spend less and get more value.

SHOWHOMENOW OPEN!

Driven by Quality for 20 Years

Daytona opens its first showhome in SaskatoonIn less than a year since moving to

Saskatoon, Daytona Homes has opened its first showhome and is holding a public grand opening event on May 26. The home, located at 326 Pichler Cres., is one of many that Daytona Homes is building in the Rosewood area.

“We welcome everyone out to see our showhome; it truly is beautiful and the quality and craftsmanship is evident as soon as you walk in.” said Mike Newbury, general manager of Daytona Homes. “It is fully furnished and decorated and offers 2,188 sq. feet of living space.”

The home at 326 Pichler Cres. is one of Daytona’s newest models, the Escalade B. This two storey home has three spacious bedrooms plus a bonus room, second floor laundry, and a luxurious master ensuite with a two way gas fireplace. The open concept main floor is bright with lots of windows and natural light. The kitchen and great room provide plenty of space to host large gatherings and a main floor den/ flex room is another functional room which is located beside the foyer.

It has definitely been an exciting move for us and we are looking forward to becoming part of the Saskatoon community. We’re confident that our focus on value and commitment to quality and to our customers will show both in the homes we build and in the customer service we provide. We’re family owned and operated and are proudly celebrating our 20th year of business this year.

Since opening in 1993 in Edmonton, Daytona Homes has expanded throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, including St. Albert, Fort Saskatchewan,

Sherwood Park, Leduc, Camrose, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge, Regina and now Saskatoon. They specialize in single and multi-family designs, providing consumers with a wide variety of models and price points.

“We are dedicated to our customers and from the moment you step in our showhome, we want you to feel comfortable. Our sales consultants take the time to get to know you so that you end up with a home you love that is suited to your lifestyle,” said Newbury. “We are with you every step of the way and have long standing relationships with our customers well after they have moved into their homes.”

Home models in Rosewood range from the Tahoe II B, a 1,680 sq. ft home, to the Escalade B. This range is perfect for all types of buyers: first-time home buyers, families looking for some more room, or even those downsizing.

“In addition, being a production builder means our buyers don’t have to wait 8 months or a year for a new home. We have a number of homes in Rosewood at different stages of construction and even have a few summer possessions available,” said Newbury. “Rosewood is a fantastic starting point for us and we will be looking at the possibility of expansion into new subdivisions later this year.”

Daytona Homes welcomes you to visit its Rosewood Showhome Monday to Thursday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays (as well as holidays) from noon to 5 p.m. The home is closed on Fridays. For more information you can visit daytonahomes.ca/Saskatoon or email [email protected].

Saskatoon’s Top of the Hops Grapes and Grains Festival is one of the highlights of the spring social

calendar. Hosted by the POW City Kinsmen since 2003, today the festival has grown into one of Saskatoon’s largest beer, wine and spirit expos.

“Since our early beginnings, we’ve increased at least tenfold,” says Rob Bateman, chair of the 2013 event. “Top of the Hops kicked off our first year in Prairieland Park’s Hall A with no more than 10 vendors. We filled the rest of the hall with unrelated products like new-vehicle displays and tradeshow-style booths.”

This year’s Top of the Hops lineup highlights just how far the festival has come, featuring more than 200 varieties of some of the world’s biggest names in brewing. “We’re packing not only Hall A, but now Hall B as well, with every kind of wine, beer or spirit you could imagine,” says Bateman.

In addition to the globally renowned brands you’re used to seeing on your liquor store’s shelves, some of Saskatoon’s locally owned and operated brewers and distilleries will also be on offer. One of Saskatchewan’s premium micro-distilleries, Lucky Bastard, is appearing at Top of the Hop’s for the first time.

“We’re very excited,” says Lacey Crocker, chief operating officer at LB Distilleries. “We just won two SABEX awards, so we’re showing up with confidence, excited about the growth and positive impact the show will have on our brand, and vice versa. We’re looking forward to educating people about the fact we’re actually manufacturing vodka and gin right here in Saskatoon.”

LB Distilleries president Cary Bowman shares a taste of what attendees can expect at their booth, where they’ll be showcasing their Lucky Bastard vodka, Gambit gin, as well as specialty liqueurs and bitters. “We make some pretty crafty cocktails — we’re going to blow some minds,” Bowman says with a laugh. “We’re bringing a tonic in from the United Kingdom that blends beautifully with our gin — it makes the perfect summertime drink.”

The event isn’t just about the tipples though — there will be plenty of food kiosks on hand, including fare from some of Saskatoon’s finest restaurants. The Hops’ legendary Winemakers Dinner will be held Saturday evening, with this year’s event featuring wine maker Johannes Selbach of the Selbach winery from Germany.

The five-course menu will be prepared by the chefs at Prairieland Park. It includes local dishes such as a Saskatchewan combination of rainbow

There are so many things in life that are on the ought-to-do list. We know we ought to eat more vegetables.

We know we ought to floss our teeth. In the garden, we know we ought to harden off our bedding plants.

One spring, I discovered how important it is to harden off greenhouse plants. I’d been a good gardener. I had faithfully moved my tender seedlings in and out of the house for 10 days. Finally, I was ready to plant.

When I was done, the flowerbed looked amazing. But, I was a few plants short. Not a problem, I thought, so I picked up a few more plants.

The little voice in my head said, “Leslie, you always tell people to harden off their plants. You need to practice what you preach.” I ignored that voice and took the plants straight from greenhouse to the flower bed.

During the following weeks, I could see the difference between the plants that had been hardened off and the plants that were planted straight into the flowerbed. The hardened off plants were healthier and were starting to grow. The plants that weren’t hardened off languished peevishly. They didn’t look sickly, but they just weren’t growing as quickly or look as vigorous as the other plants.

Plants that were hardened off had become strong enough to thrive. The plants coming right out of the greenhouse

needed to toughen up. The stress of the environmental change between the greenhouse conditions and my flowerbed set the plants back significantly.

Hardening off is simple to do and takes not more than 10 days. Start by placing your plants outside for a few hours a day. Choose a spot that is sunny, but protected from the wind. Gradually increase the time the plants spend outside. Never let the plants dry out and don’t forget to bring them in at night. Most plants will benefit from five to 10 days of hardening off.

After planting, listen carefully to the weather. If frost threatens, cover all tender plants with newspaper or blankets. Never use plastic.

Hardening off, it’s one of those things, like flossing your teeth or eating your carrots, you ought to do.

• According to a recent study, disaster makes people think about sex. In a related story, Maple Leafs fans are feeling frisky.

Rome is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Some 10 million people a year

come to see the monuments, the ruins of the Roman Forum, the aqueducts, foun-tains, churches, palaces, catacombs and the Colosseum. Many visitors travel to Rome to see the Vatican, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums. In popularity, it is the third most visited city in the world, only surpassed by Lon-don and Paris.

Rome’s history spans more than 2,500 years, since its founding in 753 BC. Since the first century, it has been the seat of the papacy and Peter, one of Christ’s apostles, is considered by Catholics to be the first pope. The Great Fire that almost destroyed Rome in 64 A.D. was blamed on the Chris-tians, with thousands suffering cruel deaths in the Colosseum under Nero’s reign. Peter was crucified under Nero, upside down at his request, feeling unworthy to be cruci-fied in the same way as Jesus. St. Peter’s Basilica was built over his gravesite.

The most impressive and largest build-ing of the Roman Empire is the Colos-seum. It has fallen into ruin, but is still an imposing site, accommodating 55,000 people. The exterior was covered in marble and 160 life-size statues graced the arches on the upper floors. Below the ground were rooms with cages for wild animals that could be hoisted to the middle of the arena for fights to the death between ani-mals and gladiators.

The Colosseum is now undergoing its first restoration. The Italian shoemaker Tod’s is investing $38 million to ensure it lasts for another 2,000 years.

Every visitor wants to see the Trevi Fountain. Built in 1762, it is the most fa-mous fountain in Italy and one of the most beautiful cultural landmarks in Rome. Leg-end claims that if you throw a coin with your right hand over your left shoulder and it lands in the fountain, you will return. An estimated $4,000 is thrown into the fountain each day. The money is used for a supermarket to feed the poor.

Another remarkable building is the Pan-theon, commissioned by Marcus Agrippa in 27 A.D. The name means, “temple

consecrated to all gods” to make sure none were left out. The most remarkable part of the building is the dome, which was the largest in the world until 1436 when the cathedral in Florence was constructed. The tombs of the famous artist Raphael and several Italian kings are located here. Amazingly, the marble floor is the original, now 2,000 years old.

The front of the building (portico) has 16 huge columns each weighing 60 tons, quarried in Egypt and transported to Rome by barge and ship. The Pantheon is so beautiful that it has been used as a model for temples and churches throughout the ages.

Within the City of Rome, the Vatican is a sovereign state with a population of 800, making it the smallest internationally-rec-ognized state in the world, both in popula-tion and size. It was established in 1929 by a treaty signed by Benito Mussolini on be-half of King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy. The King took the Vatican States and gave them back to Italy. To show his disapprov-al, Pope Pius IX excommunicated the king and refused to leave the Vatican, an action followed by subsequent popes — for a

span of 60 years. The Vatican controlled these states from 756 to 1870 when Italy was finally unified.

One of the most beautiful and largest churches in the world is St. Peter’s Ba-silica, located west of the River Tiber. Its central dome dominates the skyline. The Basilica is approached via a huge square surrounded by impressive colonnades. The interior is lavishly decorated with marble, sculptures and gilding. A number of sculp-tures are considered outstanding works of art, such as Michelangelo’s Pieta.

There are 13 Vatican museums hous-ing the world’s finest masterpieces of art, painting and sculpture collected by Popes over the centuries. They are visited by 25,000 people a day so it is imperative to be on a guided tour that also reduces the time wasted standing in line. The most popular attraction is the Sistine Chapel for its architecture and paintings, largely attributed to Michelangelo. Allow an hour to view his stories from the Bible and marvel at the greatest achievement known to humans.

Sequester.Once, that word was used primar-

ily by lawyers when they told juries they weren't going to be heading home, but would instead have to remain sequestered (usually in a hotel) away from all contact with the outside world. Today, sequester has become the go-to word to describe the devil’s deal the U.S. Congress took when it decided to institute across-the-board spending cuts if it couldn’t agree on a budget by a certain date. Alas, the effect of this misguided policy may be to sequester the United States itself, as draconian budget cuts make trav-elling in the U.S. much less pleasant.

Take on-time flights, for instance. Because the Federal Aviation Administra-tion has seen extreme cuts to its budget, it has had to furlough air traffic controllers. On the second day of the sequester (April 22), 10 per cent of the total staff was furloughed, leading to some 1,200 flights across the United States experiencing delays. The FAA released a statement that was a figurative throwing up the hands of the department. “Travellers can expect to see a wide range of delays that will change throughout the day, depending on staffing and weather-related issues,” it wrote on April 23. You don't say? At that point, the worst delays were in Los Angeles, Dallas/Fort Worth, Las Vegas and the New York area. U.S. Airways, Delta and JetBlue were forced to cancel some flights altogether because of the jam-up. In some cases, pas-sengers were flown to nearby airports and then bussed to their final destination.

Getting into the U.S. has been as ugly, as customs areas at airports also are un-derstaffed. In Miami in late March, delays of up to four hours in the customs line led to many passengers missing connecting flights. The security line may be just as

bad soon. Due to a hiring freeze, the Trans-portation Security Administration will be 1,000 agents low by the beginning of the

summer and 2,600 by the end of the fiscal year.

But the pain goes beyond the airport, sadly. Due to bud-get cuts of some $400 million, some National Park-funded attractions have had to close their doors or reduce hours and services. The White House is no longer holding tours. Yellowstone had to delay the opening of many of its roads by weeks (the Beartooth Highway won’t be open to visitors until

June 14). The Blue Ridge Parkway will have 400 fewer campsites, half as many visitors' centres (eight as opposed to 16) and many of its restrooms will not open, as they can't be maintained.

Visitors to Washington, D.C., should know that the Smithsonian Institute has been forced, by budget cuts, to close cer-tain exhibits at their art museums, because of their inability to guard those rooms. Ap-parently, rooms will be closed at random times and without advance notice, for se-curity reasons, according to a Smithsonian press release.

So what’s a Yankee-doodle bound traveller to do, besides putting off the trip for another year? Advance research will be particularly important this year. Stay in touch with your airline, or sign up for alerts, so you know in advance about any changes to your flight schedule. And if you plan to visit a National Park be sure to go to the National Park Service website first (www.nps.gov) to make sure the attraction you're planning to visit will be open the day you plan to arrive. Good luck!

This is a healthier version of a breakfast trifle we have been making for years. In our previous trifle, we used pancakes and sweetened whipped cream. By substituting whole-grain muffins for the pancakes, yogurt for cream, and maple syrup for

sugar, you are getting the same decadent breakfast taste, but making healthier food choices. This recipe is from Breast Friends Inspire Health cookbook. Please visit our website at www.breastfriends.ca.

BREAKFAST TRIFLE

4 cups homemade, whole-grain muffins (such as our Apple-

sauce Walnut Muffins or Orange Rhubarb Muffins), coarsely

chopped 1 1/3 cups fresh strawberries,

sliced

1 1/3 cups fresh blueberries1 1/3 cups kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced (or other fruit, such as

peaches)1 1/3 cups seedless grapes

4 cups plain organic yogurt4 tablespoons maple syrup

Place half of the muffin pieces into a 2 1/2-litre glass bowl. Ar-

range half the strawberries, blueberries, kiwi fruit and grapes over

muffin pieces. Spoon half of yogurt evenly over the fruit. Drizzle

half of maple syrup over top. Cover with remaining muffin pieces.

Spoon remaining yogurt evenly over muffins pieces. Drizzle with

rest of maple syrup. Garnish with remaining fruit in an attractive

pattern. Makes eight cups.

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt. - Margaret Atwood

Tip of the WeekThere are many things to consider in a home

purchase. Since it is largely an emotional decision, it is hard to step out of the process and be objective regarding all of the costs and considerations that go

into purchasing a home. An assistant buyer, such as an experienced friend, family member or ideally

a licensed REALTOR® can take away much of that stress. – Jason Yochim, executive officer,

Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS®.

Jason Yochim

At a young age, people have a goal of being a homeowner. As children, you might recall

memories of playing in the yard and waking up Christ-mas morning to a house of festivities. As one gets older their priorities change — perhaps purchasing a vehicle and committing to someone special. That can lead to a larger goal of owning their own piece of paradise. In the excitement of house shop-ping and mortgage approvals, some people forget that their responsibilities, both physi-cally and monetarily, don’t stop at the exchange of the keys.

As a new homeowner, I have found some less-than-favourable duties that I’ve had to add to the regime. We had had a higher than average amount of snow this winter. This has added snow shovelling to my resume of things I now had to do. Until the first large snowfall of the year, we hadn’t even realized that a snow shovel was on our list of things that we hadn’t purchased yet. Oh, how I missed my former landlord during the winter.

Now it’s spring. Since we are in a newer neighbourhood, we will be spend-ing our weekends hauling soil into our yard and laying sod instead of golfing, shopping and sitting on patios like some of our friends will be. Say goodbye to lazy Saturday morning sleep-ins, and hel-lo to calloused hands and dirt smudged faces. In the end, we will have a beautiful lawn, and our dog won’t be caked in dirt every time he attempts a potty break in our current mud pit.

With that new fresh lawn, we will get to enjoy hours of lawn mowing. Not only do we need to buy a lawnmower,

but now we need to take the time to monotonously stride back and forth our lawn in the summer heat. And to ensure

the happiness of my lovely better half, I need to get out my handiest dog scooping tool or become The Poop Guys (www.thepoopguys.com) No. 1 customer so our new lawn isn’t covered in ankle-breaking landmines.

Whether you have a deck, fence, basement or driveway to build or maintain, most indi-viduals don’t consider this ad-ditional work when dreaming of their perfect chateau. If it is

an older house that requires maintenance, you may end up having your plumber on speed-dial with those aging pipes that are causing you unforeseen grief. Perhaps, if you had been listening to your REAL-TORS® history on the property instead of envisioning where you were going to hang your flat screen, you may have taken this fixer-upper off the must-have list.

One last thing to remember before you enter into homeownership heaven, is don’t be a crummy neighbour. Just because you don’t have nosy Mrs. Hen-derson living in the apartment above you anymore, doesn’t give you the right to throw all night ragers or turn your house in the eyesore of the block.

There are so many different styles and locations of that special place for you to call home that one of the more than 600 members of the Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS® (www.saskatoonrealtors.ca) will be able to help you find it. Even with all of the extra work and responsibility that came with our new pad, we still absolutely love it and wouldn’t change a thing.

Pros and cons of buying a home

Tammy RobertSaskatoon Express

Like so many entrepreneurs, Saska-toon’s Arati Chattopadhyay started her business on the basis of a really

good idea. Pairing that idea with old-fash-ioned hard work and determination, she turned her dreams into a reality.

Chattopadhyay started Chatty's In-dian Spices in 1996 as a product line of pre-mixed, packaged and labelled spices used to prepare East Indian food. Chatto-padhyay’s goal was to provide the blended spices to local, mainstream consumers so they could cook and enjoy East Indian food at home without having to buy the vast number of spices traditionally used to prepare it.

“Some of my recipes called for as many as 30 different spices that needed to be used in a single dish,” Chattopadhyay explained in an earlier interview, posted on the company’s website. “It would have proved very difficult for the individual who had little experience with Indian food to manage to find and use that many spices. It seemed sensible that pre-pack-aged spices would present people with the opportunity to cook authentic Indian-style food fairly easily.”

In 2003 Chattopadhyay was presented with the YWCA Saskatoon Women of Distinction Award for Entrepreneurship. Reflecting on that moment, she still beams with pride. “It was awesome — a really wonderful experience,” she said. “The Distinction Award gave me confidence, an understanding of all the things you can achieve. It was a great moment.”

In the last 10 years, Chatty’s Indian Spices business has grown by leaps and bounds, in part thanks to the extraordinary growth in Saskatoon’s multicultural popu-lation, restaurants and exposure to new flavors and cultures.

“We always wanted our product to be used by the mainstream population,” ex-plained Chattopadhyay. “Our main target was always the general public, getting

them used to something they may not have experienced before.

“This new chemistry in our province means people are learning about all differ-ent kinds of food,” she continued. “There are so many new restaurants and flavours to try. This impacts our clients, because they’re more willing to buy ethnic prod-ucts. Yes, there is more competition, but at the same time, it has helped the market grow.”

Known as Chatty to her friends, she is proud of the fact that that her blends of spices are high quality without MSG and no colours - just spices and herbs, with flavours like chicken curry, tandoori, and Calcutta curry.

The YWCA Women of Distinction Award wasn’t Chattopadhyay’s first. Chatty's Indian Spices was named Entre-preneur of the Year in 1998, and has won an award for the Best New Food Product in Western Canada. Her Mango Mustard Chutney was selected as “Best New Food Product” in 2000. In 2005 the company was a finalist for the ABEX Awards under the export category.

Today, Chatty’s market focuses pre-dominantly on Saskatchewan and Western Canada, but continues to grow rapidly, with a loyal customer base. “We have a good brand, people have really come to know us. There is a face to the name.”

As for advice for today’s upcoming en-trepreneurial women of distinction, Chat-topadhyay keeps it simple: “Always have faith in yourself. Keep your dream alive and work hard for it. You’ll get there.”

Buick might have saved its own skin with the Enclave, and also carved out its future.

ven with smaller vehicles popping up like ants at a picnic, the full-size Enclave wagon remains Buick’s best-selling North American model. And it’s likely to

stay that way with the arrival of the improved 2013 edition.The Enclave was introduced for the 2008 model year and

has proven a key pillar supporting Buick’s rebirth. It shares basic ingredients with the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, but a superior level of luxury content places it at the upper end of the affordability scale where it competes with the Acura MDX, Infiniti JX and even the Chevrolet Tahoe. That old-school body-on-frame sport utility vehicle closely approximates the Enclave in size, if not in attitude, but can’t touch it for fuel economy and roominess, or for the way it coddles and protects its passengers.

The 2013 Enclave retains all of its inherent strengths,

but refines the experience for new and returning customers (four out of 10, says Buick).

The “waterfall” grille is bigger and its vertical slats are displayed more prominently. Buick’s designers reshaped the hood and fenders, added chrome body side trim and installed new high-intensity xenon headlights and LED (Light Emitting Diode) tail lamps. The result is a bolder and more recognizable appearance that’s in keeping with the rest of Buick’s steadily expanding lineup.

The Enclave’s well-appointed cabin also receives a spruce-up, including a revised control panel and a new 6.5-inch/16.5-centimetre (diagonal) touch-screen display for operating the infotainment, rearview camera and optional navigation systems. As before, second-row seating can be ordered as a bench seat or in twin-chair configuration. Buick

What you should know 2013 Buick Enclave

Type Four-door, front- /all-wheel-drive full-size wagonEngine (hp) 3.6-litre dohc V6 (288)Transmission six-speed automatic Market position since its inception, the Enclave became the backbone of gm’s Buick division.

it’s one of the more popular luxury tall wagons around and one of the most advanced in terms of comfort, safety and fuel economy.

B y c o m p a r i s o n Dodge Durango

Base price: $30,000Jeep grand-cherokee-based seven-seater offers V6 and V8 power.

Acura MDXBase price: $44,200Popular awd wagon due for 2014 model-year replacement.

Infiniti JX35Base price: $41,400new-for-2013 car-based wagon combines luxury with solid fuel economy.

also brags that its three-abreast third row offers more legroom and greater cargo space than any of its major com-petitors and access to both by way of a sliding second-row seat is among the easiest.

Getting under way involves the usual 3.6-litre V6 that puts out 288 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The six-speed automatic trans-mission has had its electronic shift mapping updated for smoother opera-tion.

The engine’s output is decent, but it needs all of its horses to propel the Enclave’s 2,270-kilogram curb weight with any authority and to tow up to 2.045 kilograms of trailer weight.

Also altered is the Enclave’s suspen-sion that gets new shocks and springs designed for improved ride and better control over bumps.

Along with its Chevrolet and GMC relations, the Enclave arrives standard with a unique front-centre airbag. This inflatable safety device, which deploys from the right-hand side of the driver’s seatback, protects the upper body (head and thorax) regions of both front-seat passengers in the event of a side-impact collision. It will remain extended for a longer period of time, compared to the front and side airbags, in the event of a secondary impact or rollover.

For all-weather driving conditions,

the Enclave can be equipped with all-wheel-drive (AWD) that constantly monitors road conditions and seam-lessly directs torque to the tires with the most traction when slippage is detected. AWD isn’t too expensive an option and only slightly increases fuel consumption (13.0 l/100 km in the city and 8.6 highway, versus 12.7/8.4 for front-wheel-drive models).

Being luxury-focused, the base $43,100 Enclave Convenience model arrives loaded up with tri-zone climate control, backup camera, eight-way-powered driver’s seat and two-way-powered passenger seat and a power liftgate.

Stepping up to the Leather model adds, of course, perforated leather seats, eight-way power-adjustable and heated front chairs and backup/cross-traffic warning, while the top-level Premium has heated and cooled front seats, 10-speaker Bose sound package and articulating headlights. About the only things to tack on to the Premium are 20-inch wheels (19-inchers are standard) and a navigation system.

Clearly the Enclave has withstood the test of time to become a world-class wagon that has assisted in positioning Buick firmly in the upscale driver’s seat. Even in a world that’s get-ting noticeably smaller.

Only in Canada, eh? Pity!i haveaquestion.Dopeople,specifi-

cally americans, have something against practical hatchbacks

vehicles?The new mercedes-Benz B-class

is a sweet looking ride. it’s a hatch-back with a spunky 208-horsepower four-cylinder turbocharged engine.

if you took the badging off it, how-ever, you could easily mistake it for somethingelse.Itsprofileisfamiliar,which might be one reason that the three-pointed star plopped in the middle of the grille is a whopping 18 centimetres across.

inside, it’s roomy and bathed in leather. The transmission is electroni-cally engaged with a little stalk on the steering column. up for forward, down for reverse and press a little button for park, but you don’t even have to do that. Turn the car off and it automati-cally goes into park. cool.

it has black wheels with a ma-chinedfinishandwithadazzlingshowof illumination coming from the head-lights, the B250 looks highly detailed and luxurious. There’s one little twist, though. mercedes-Benz doesn’t think americans will buy it, or that it will erode sales of higher priced mercedes vehicles, so it won’t be offered the united states. canada, yes. united states, no.

The car, with a base price of $30,000 here in canada, underscores the subtle differences between buy-ers in the two countries despite the obvious ties in so many other ways, whether it be cultural, economic, geo-graphic or language based.

Regardless of where you live, though, the B250 is a nice car. any-one with eyeballs can see that.

This type of market exclusion is actually more common than you might think. ironically, the launch for the 2014 Kia Rondo, to be sold in canada and not the united states, took place in galveston, Tex. why? The Kia folks quipped that the Rondo is a big deal and everything is, of course, bigger in Texas. uh huh. anyway, the wet-weather testing was done in california and not canada, and the winter test-ing was done in minnesota. so, you would think this four-door hatch that seats up to seven people would be an easy match-up for u.s. buyers, but

not really. apparently they like their optima sedans and sportage tall wag-ons too much to consider the Rondo, which is a sexy little number that’s a bit bigger than the mercedes B250. it uses a peppy 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine in a ridiculously quiet-riding car that’s full of technology and style. what’s not to like?

Then there’s the chevrolet orlando and the Trax. The orlando, which is perhaps an odd name choice for a canadian car that is not actually available in orlando, Fla., is kind of a mini minivan, like the mazda5, while the Trax shares its small tall-wagon platform with the new Buick Encore. although general motors might fear that the Trax would cannibalize sales of the Equinox in the united states, which are apparently quite strong, the general theme is that canadians like hatchbacks more, possibly due to income differences between the two countries and/or higher gas prices than in the united states.

But with about 250 vehicle choices in the united states, nearly identical to our choices here in canada, i really don’t see a problem with adding four more good ones there that are this functional and thrifty.

conversely, there are a few ve-hicles available in the united states that canadians can’t buy, such as the hyundai azera. if the sonata is too small, the much more expensive rear-drive genesis is the only choice. maybe that’s why the dodge charger and chrysler 300 dominate the seg-ment in canada: they’re roomy cars with reasonable sticker prices. it’s truly puzzling, with logic that’s seem-ingly outweighed by market research, pie charts and corporate spin doctors.

so, i put it to you, canada, which of the four vehicles -- B250, chevy orlando, chevy Trax or Kia Rondo -- would you recommend to our ameri-can neighbours? maybe the answer is none, but i think these cars are just too interesting for them to pass up.

despite the orlando’s name, it’s not available in orlando, or anywhere else in the united states for that matter.

If you are buying

somewhere else you are paying

too much.

Was it a sports car, or an econo-ride for tWo?

Pontiac left bewildered fans to figure it out for themselves

t was supposed to be a ground-breaking car for general motors, a little two-seater that would put Pontiac in the spotlight and make

buyers weak in the knees.on paper, it must have looked like a

fantastic dream: build a sporty and in-expensive two-seat car for buyers who really wanted a corvette but couldn’t afford the payments, the insurance and the gas.

The Fiero was a car destined for greatness as the star of the Pontiac lineup, but not without confusing some buyers who wondered what it was and why it existed. in the end, even general motors was wondering.

The beginning was quite grand, however. The product of a tightly-knit group of engineers, the Fiero was ac-tually conceived in the late 1970s to employ a slew of leading-edge firsts for Pontiac. one look at the car and it was obvious. The engine was in the back, polymer body panels were hung from a space frame . . . and there was only seating for two.

Just as it did on paper, things looked good on the surface.

But to get the corporation’s blessing, its creators positioned the Fiero as a high-volume (at least 100,000 in yearly sales) technologically advanced com-muter car that would not only be fun to drive, but get 50 mpg on the highway.

having contended with the fallout from two previous gasoline shortages — and with more uncertainty looming

— gm management was paying atten-tion.

other than funding its unique con-struction needs, a strict cap was placed on development costs. To meet that challenge, the Fiero’s designers and engineers adapted as much hardware as possible from existing gm parts.

The front suspension came from the chevy chevette sub-compact, while the rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, transmissions (four-speed manual and optional three-speed auto-matic) and the 92-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, were also bor-rowed from existing models. Even the outside mirrors were purloined from the Firebird.

with all the necessary components in place, the final assembly process involved fitting the Fiero’s 13 separate plastic body panels to the space frame. This involved the use of a computer-operated “mill and drill” machine that positioned the 39 connecting pads used to anchor the parts.

The finished product, which launched in late 1983 and listed for about $8,000 in its most basic form, was rather handsome, not unlike some exotic, out-of-reach European sports car. The Fiero’s rich-looking cockpit was equally advanced, with options such as a removable sunroof and form-fitting bucket seats with speakers that were built into the headrests.

The car’s good looks and attrac-tive price point were one thing, but

I

disappointment loomed whenever Fiero own-ers twisted the key. The underpowered four-cylinder provided tepid performance at best, the suspension and steering were (much) less than precise and the meagre stowage area, consisting of a narrow bin positioned behind the motor, was totally inadequate. The engines of some early examples even caught fire.

To be fair, Pontiac avoided calling the Fiero a sports car and instead touted its thriftiness and value.

The car-buying public didn’t seem to mind one way or the other, at least in the Fiero’s ini-tial year. Pontiac dealers had received 30,000 orders before a single car had left the plant and most were being sold for the full sticker price or more.

during its sophomore year in 1985, Pontiac added the $14,000 Fiero gT to the lineup, featuring its own nose and a 140-horsepower 2.8-litre V6. in 1986, the gT received fastback styling that seemed to hit the mark, but already there were troubling signs that interest in the plastic sports/commuter car was beginning to wane.

Back in detroit, the Fiero team knew all-too-well the vehicle’s weaknesses and at a cost of $30 million, introduced a number of significant suspension upgrades for 1988. it proved to be

too little too late. with sales well below the nec-essary six-figure mark (fewer than 20,000 were sold in 1987), general motors ordered a halt to Fiero production.

The debate rages to this day as to why the Fiero never seemed to deliver. some blame gm for not allowing it to mature into a lower-priced corvette alternative, while others cite an off-kilter marketing plan that left both sports-car and economy-car camps confused about the automobile’s true mission.

But the Fiero’s biggest problem was that it was caught in the crossfire between inexpen-sive, yet highly practical Japanese products and the onset of the minivan craze that began sweeping the nation in 1984, the same year Pontiac’s mid-engine fuel-saver was intro-duced.

after fewer than a half-dozen years, the little car with so many “firsts” under its belt became yet another casualty of changing public tastes and, ultimately, corporate indifference.

New Technologies Help Address Major Driving Hazard

Drowsy driving has become a major hazard on the road. Every year drowsy drivers are a key factor in

approximately 100,000 accidents, 40,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths in the United States, according to the US Department of Transportation.

Studies have shown that on average, four hundred Canadians are killed and 2,100 injured annually because of sleepy drivers. In Saskatchewan, an average of 145 people are injured, and seven are killed each year in crashes involving driver fatigue. In fact, a Transport Canada study found that 20% of all automotive fatalities are caused by drowsy drivers.

In 2013 Ford introduced a number of new technologies which will make a difference for sleepy drivers. Their ‘Lane Keeping System’ is a tri-fold package of technology consisting of a ‘Driver Alert System’, ‘Lane Keeping Alert’ and ‘Lane Keeping Aid’ - all designed to work together to help the driver avoid leaving his or her lane unintentionally.

The ‘Driver Alert System’ is designed to help alert drowsy drivers by monitoring the vehicle’s movement compared to lane markings that are tracked by a camera mounted on the windshield. If the system detects a driving pattern consistent with a drowsy driver, a first-level chime will sound and a coffee cup warning will appear on the dashboard instrument cluster to recommend the driver take a break. All information is

reset as soon as the driver stops and either opens the door or turns off the engine.

The ‘Lane Keeping Alert’ is designed to help drivers avoid unintentional lane changes. When the system detects the vehicle drifting close to lane markings, it will alert the driver through a vibration in the steering wheel to naturally direct the driver’s attention to where it is required.

The ‘Lane Keeping Aid’ takes this technology even further by providing steering torque to alert the driver of the need to steer back toward the center of the lane.The driver can override the Lane Keeping Aid at any time through counter steering, hard braking or fast accelerating, when the system recognizes that the driver has intentionally changed lanes.

Dashed lines, like those on highways, will appear when the system is activated. Gray lines indicate the system is suppressed because the vehicle is traveling at less than the 40-mph activation speed, the road is poorly marked, or adverse environmental conditions do not allow the camera to determine road markings.

Because drowsy driving is becoming such a larger factor in vehicle accidents and collisions, automakers like Ford Motor Company have focused significant effort and innovative research into technologies like the ‘Lane Keeping System’ that help to address drowsy driving.

The results will equal lives saved in Saskatchewan, and across the country.
