Be afraid. Be very afraid. Saskatoon hypnotist Hadlen will be performing on Halloween night at

the Roxy Theatre. Having people in the au-dience in costumes will make fright night more frightful, he promises.

“My plan is to have everyone who is up on stage have the most fun being scared,” Hadlen said with a laugh.

“It will add a whole different realm to do it to see someone dressed up acting

completely out of character as to what they dressed up for. I think it will be even funnier than if everyone was in suits, or T-shirts and jeans.”

Hadlen has an impressive and growing re-sume. The magician/mentalist/hypnotist has toured Europe and much of Western Canada. His calendar is filling rapidly for corporate events. He does motivational speaking. He will be teaching at a seminar in Chicago. He will perform at proms in the U.S. next year. A national tour is in the works.

Oh yes, he turns 27 later this month.

Hadlen’s career can be traced back to doing simple magic that came in kits pur-chased at the dollar store.

“I always liked magic. When I watched television shows like David Blaine, or David Copperfield even, I always thought they were camera tricks. I never thought I would be able to do what they are doing.’’

Hadlen hasn’t done many public shows in Saskatoon recently, so he is looking forward to being on the stage at the Roxy.

Corporate shows have paid a lot of his bills. He said sometimes the boss is brave

enough to come on stage.“It’s fun for them, too. Everyone who

volunteers to be hypnotized has the most fun out of everybody there.”

I have written a couple of times about premonitions, coinci-dences and some downright

eerie stuff.I had a premonition again last

week. While reading in bed, I wondered if I had locked the car. I thought about getting up and checking, but didn’t. Who would be out roaming the streets on a Sunday night?

Well, somebody was.The next morning when I left

for work, I noticed the glove compartment of the car was open. That’s not a good sign. I looked over my shoulder and my heart sank. Gone was Sandy’s camera. Left in the back were a window scraper, an old gray hoodie and a letter I forgot to mail a month ago.

Why hadn’t I taken the camera in? Why hadn’t I checked to make sure the car was locked? Why? Why? Why?

I was grateful the interior of the vehicle wasn’t damaged. I have been driving a 2014 Ford Fusion, courtesy of Ford Canada. I can’t imagine the feeling of returning it with slashed leather seats. It’s a great vehicle, by the way.

On the same day as the camera theft, our water heater quit and Sandy got a parking ticket while shooting our cover photo. She had texted me before parking to say she had no change for the meter.

And the worst part of the day? I ordered a Filet meal at McDonald’s. When I opened the bag, there was a McChicken sandwich

staring at me. Sheesh.(Footnotes: The Express has

a good camera. Many of Sandy’s shots in this edition were taken with it. Remember to lock your doors, have change for a meter and check your bag before leav-ing McDonald’s.)

***** Year ago, I was one of those

that played a part in getting Reena Nerbas’ household solu-tions column into the Saskatoon Sun. How it came to our atten-

tion, I don’t remember. I know it was highly popular among Sun readers. When it became available three years ago, we snapped it up.

Reena will be speaking at the Saskatoon Fall Home Show Oct. 24-26 at Prairieland Park.

I am hoping to finally meet her face to face, and thank her for providing us with one of our must-read columns.

Joanne Paulson interviewed Reena last week. The story and more details about Reena’s visit are on Page 6.

***** Belated congratulations to my mother-in-

law, Eunice, and father-in-law, Des, on their 60th wedding anniversary. I am fortunate to have been part of their family for about 40 of those years.

***** Advertising works. An ad with a happy

ending was one well-known Saskatonian Herm Hordal took out with us. His daugh-ter’s house cat, which was visiting from

Edmonton, slipped out of Herm’s home. The family put up about 200 posters and took out an ad on Page 2 of this paper. They got the cat back after somebody noticed the ad.

***** It was great touching base last week with

Alvin Patterson and Hadlen.Alvin is the man behind the Hawarden

Halloween. Alvin has taken four rooms at the abandoned school in Hawarden, a village about 100 kilometres south of Saskatoon, and has loaded them with frights. It will be open this year on Oct. 25, Oct. 26 and on Halloween night.

Sandy and I drove out to Hawarden to see it last year, and would highly recommend it. Be prepared to scream. For more details, including directions to Hawarden, please see the story on Page 4.

Hadlen was on one of our first cover stories. Even three years ago, we could tell he was going to go a long way in show busi-ness. He is an outstanding magician, mental-ist and hypnotist. Sandy and I saw one of his shows a couple of years ago. It was hypnosis based and was hilarious. And he has treated us to a couple of mini-magic shows when he drops into our office.

Hadlen will be doing a Halloween Horror Hypnosis Hour at the Roxy Theatre on Oct. 31. More details are in the cover story.

I would highly recommend you check out Hadlen’s show. We have an incredible performer in our midst. We have a lot of incredible people in our midst. Well, other than those that steal from us.

With 32 years of experience with the Saskatoon Contacts midget hockey team, Jim McIntyre knows what it takes for a team to climb to the

highest rung on the ladder.He takes pride that among the collection of 15-year-

olds and 16-year-olds that have played for him, eight are currently in the National Hockey League, others are in the American League, 25 are now with Western Hockey League teams and 37 received a college education in the United States.

The current NHLers are Eric Gryba, Luke and Brayden Schenn, Darcy Kuemper, Jared Cowan, Carter Ashton, Cory Sarich and Blake Comeau.

But McIntyre has worked through the obstacle courses as well, such as being without a home arena for many of the early years, through the sometimes sudden losses of 16-year-olds to junior clubs and, in more years, refusing to surrender to the challenges of a stroke, a heart attack or an aneurysm.

At 75 years of age, he is still the president of the Saskatoon team and works tirelessly at Schroh Arena, the team’s home and now a veritable mu-seum reflecting McIntyre’s favourite hockey sons.

The year to remember for the Contacts was 2004-05 when they won the Telus Cup, emblematic of midget AAA supremacy in Canada. The team will be inducted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame in ceremonies at TCU Place on Nov. 1.

“It was a team which almost grew from the ground, with a lot of 15-year-olds, and we just got better and better and better,” recalled McIntyre.

“By Christmas 2004, when we won the Mac’s Interna-tional Tournament of Champions in Calgary, we knew we had something special. We only lost five games in league play that year. By the time we reached the national finals, we were riding momentum. The players woke up very ex-cited on the morning of the final and told themselves they didn’t want to make any mistakes.

“Part of the success came from Darren Evjen and Lauren Shmyr, who were my assistant coaches. They ran summer hockey schools and they could get a good look at prospects.

“We had a good leader, Cody Danburg, who was our captain. We had character guys in the room. We won with two 15-year-old goalies — Justin Leclerc and Travis Yonkman. We had two defencemen, Luke Schenn and Eric Gryba, who are now in the National Hockey League. It was the only year we had Eric because, at 16, he went off to Boston University.

“Up front, we had good skaters, including Kyle Bortis, who was our league’s scoring champion, and Derek Hulak, who later went from the University of Saskatchewan Hus-kies to win the Calder Cup in Dallas last spring.”

In the Saskatchewan league, they won 38 games, lost two in regulation time and another in overtime, and tied one. In the provincial playoffs, they won nine games and lost three. At the Western playoffs, they won four and suf-fered one overtime loss. In the national final, they beat the Gatineau Intrepids 4-1.

The Saskatoon win started a streak in which Saskatch-ewan teams won five national titles in six years. The Prince Albert Mintos followed with two and the Notre Dame Hounds later won two more.

McIntyre came by hockey quite naturally. His father, John, coached the Rosetown Red Wings in pre-Second World War days. Sometimes their lineup was dotted with names like Doug, Max and Scoop Bentley from nearby Delisle.

McIntyre played minor hockey in Rosetown, juvenile in Moose Jaw and was about to play junior there when the rink burned down. He thinks he was better at playing base-ball, having played for the Moose Jaw Canuck juniors.

After moving to Saskatoon, where he spent 35 years of his working life for SaskTel, he was involved in mi-nor hockey with the Bruins, who later became identified as the Bobcats.

He acquired the Contacts from Don Leedahl and Danny Lapointe, who used Delisle as a home base. Mc-Intyre’s team played at various locations, including the downtown Arena, ACT, Latrace and the Exhibition rinks.

McIntyre is one of the three men left who had the vision in 1982 to escape from Saskatchewan’s hockey midget AA ranks and develop the AAA system, which started with nine clubs and an open zone where there weren’t any restrictions on residency.

The turning point for the Contacts came in 1996, when Richard Schroh opened his facility on Lorne Avenue.

“Can you imagine Richard, at 65 years old, building a hockey rink? He just got enough money to get started. He was innovative and inventive the way he put the plan and the building together. He retired in 2002, and now his son and grandson run the building. It gave us a place to call our home,” said McIntyre.

The continued success of the Contacts — they’ve tak-en four bronze medals at the Telus Cup — is a testimony to the way they found talent. Since 1980, nearly 1,000 players have gone through the ranks.

“The tough part is that you build on 15- and 16-year-olds. Then there are times when the junior clubs will come along and take a player away.

Aside from the Christmas season, my favourite time

of the year is Halloween.The first time I expe-

rienced Halloween was when I was around nine years old. Having grown up in a northern trap line, I had never heard of Hal-loween.

When my family moved back to my home reserve, I heard all about it, although I didn’t get the concept at first. All I knew was I had to get dressed up and go from house to house to trick or treat.

I didn’t have a costume, but one of my favourite television shows at the time was The Gong Show. This was a program in which people with dif-ferent talents would show them to the viewing audience. There was a person who made regular appearances on the show. He was the Unknown Comic. Basically he had a brown paper bag over his head and would tell jokes.

Since I had no costume, but plenty of brown paper bags, I decided to go as the Unknown Comic. Of course some houses wouldn’t give me any treats unless I told a couple of jokes. This was the first time I ever had

to tell a joke in front of strangers. But since I had a paper bag over my head, I thought they wouldn’t know who I was.

As I got older, my costumes changed from year to year, but truth be told my favourite is still the Unknown Comic.

One of my favourite Halloween stories comes from my 12-year-old nephew. He was staying

with me in the Riversdale area and attending Princess Alexandra com-munity school.

He was excited on Halloween morning. This was going to be his first time to go trick or treating in a city. His expectations were high. He told me that right after school he and his buddies were coming to my place to change and to get ready to go out. I took this as an opportunity to come up with a plan to scare them.

My plan was basically to dress up as a scarecrow and sit in the porch and wait for them. Sure enough, I heard them running up the steps. All of the sudden they stopped and stared at me. I sat completely still with my head down.

“Come on,” I heard my nephew say, “it’s not real.”

As soon as they stepped into the porch, I jumped up. You should have seen them pushing each other out of the way to get out of the porch. When they realized it was me, they rolled around the front yard with laughter.

That was probably the only “trick” I’ve ever played on Hallow-een. Actually that’s not totally true. On my home reserve, at least back then, very few people had running water. This, of course, meant no plumbing. People had outside toilets.

I had heard one of the things to do during Halloween was to go around pushing down toilets. I didn’t actually take part in pushing down anybody’s outhouse, but I was an eyewitness to this. The next day I felt so bad I went back to the house to help with clean-ing and putting the outhouse back on its proper foundation. Then, the homeowner told me the old outhouse hadn’t been used in years.

It’s been several years since I went out to celebrate the day. Mostly my fun now comes with the children who come to my door. I try not to scare them. I just enjoy the moment when they come to my house and trick or treat.

What’s better than three rooms of frightening displays in an aban-doned school?

Four, according to Alvin Patterson. He’s the man behind an elaborate Halloween haunt in Hawarden, a village of 35 people located approximately an hour south of Saskatoon.

Why bigger?“Why not?” said Patterson, with a laugh.

“I have the room and I have a lot more new product and props.”

Patterson said the long hours of work he puts into the display are worth it when he hears the first scream. He didn’t wait long last year. Nor did the screams end at one. He joked about having a port-a-potty on site for those who might be a little extra scared.

Patterson’s passion for Halloween haunt-ing began nine years ago, with a front-yard display. Teenagers in the area loved it, so he began expanding one ghost, ghoul and chainsaw at a time.

He said in an interview with the Express last year that creating mischief is part of his personality. Halloween is just another outlet.

“I like tormenting people. If there’s a practical joke to be had, I probably started it.”

He hopes to have 12 people – the living dead – lurking in the shadows of the old

seven-room school. He has a woman on board to do the costume makeup.

“She is going to have our zombies look-ing real good,” he said.

More than 200 people passed through the display last year. All lived to tell about it.

The attendance number should easily be eclipsed this year, with an extra night of fright.

Patterson said the haunted school is

best for people 10 years of age and older. It might be a little too spooky for those younger. He said it works well as a date night.

“It can be romantic because they are going to be hanging onto each other on the way home or all the way through.”

Hawarden Halloween will be open on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 26, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. It will be open on Halloween from 5

p.m. to 9 p.m. There is a $5 charge, with most of the proceeds going toward build-ing a new wheelchair ramp at the commu-nity centre.

There are two ways to get to Hawarden from Saskatoon: South on Highway 219 (the highway to the Dakota Dunes), left onto Highway 15 and right onto High-way 19. Or go to Kenaston on Highway 11, right onto Highway 15 and left onto Highway 19.

“The rare times you get to keep a 17-year-old is when the parents of a player want to keep them at home to be educated.”

Over the years, McIntyre has always been the owner and club president. He gave up the coaching reins at the start of the 2006 season. But he’s still at the rink most days — the stroke, heart attack and aneurysm notwithstanding.

“I credit Marc Chartier for saving me the last time. He recognized the symptoms of the blocked artery from the neck to the brain and rushed me to Royal University Hos-pital. I couldn’t talk for some time afterwards. Now I walk three days a week at the Field House.

“Sure, my wife, Sharon, would like me to step back from the game, but I consider hockey to be part of my therapy.”

McIntyre believes in the leadership the team has taken under Chartier, Rich Pilon and Tim Leier.

Chartier is a former Saskatoon Blade and a former Sas-katchewan Huskie who, according to McIntyre, “believes in the kids, gives them a chance to get better and helps them realize their dreams. We’re always on the same page.”

“Since it’s a corporate show, I don’t make anyone cluck like a chicken or dance to the point

where they are not going to be able to face their co-workers and peers the next day.”

Then he laughed.“Although I could do that,” he said. “I don’t because I want to get hired

again by that same company.”Hadlen’s newest endeavour is working

with companies as a motivational speaker. He teaches employees to be more produc-tive through hypnosis.

“Companies are hiring me now to come in and see their sales team and teach them

how to utilize hypnosis. It isn’t for making someone do something silly or funny, but to influence them in a good way — for the improvement of their mind, so they have better productivity at work.”

He said he helps employees build confidence and use their voices in different ways.

“You can change the inflection of your voice to gain attention when you want it. The jobs I had before I went full-time (into magic and hypnosis) were sales oriented. And before that I was in martial arts, which is heavily into your mind over your body. That’s really all hypnosis is — hav-ing control of your mind.

“I do a demonstration on performance hypnosis, but I teach them how to use self-hypnosis and give self-suggestions and auto suggestions that they can activate anytime they like.”

He said one company has seen a sales increase of 20 per cent since his seminar.

Hadlen started training in hypnosis at age 21. He still attends a conference in Las Vegas yearly. His Vegas mentor performed in Saskatoon at a corporate event last year when Hadlen was double booked.

“Obviously he killed it,” Hadlen said.He said one of the joys of being a hyp-

notist is the reaction of those on stage when they return to their seats in the audience.

“They will remember anything I tell them unless I suggest otherwise. It might slip their mind or be pushed to the back of their mind temporarily, but I always make sure it is not gone completely. As soon as their loved one shakes their hand, every-thing comes back. One of the funniest parts is the look on their faces when they remember everything.”

Tickets for Hadlen Halloween Horror Hypnosis Hour at the Roxy Theatre are $12 in advance (at the theatre) and $15 at the door. The show starts at 6 p.m.

Question: Where is the City at in terms of mandatory composting?

Mayor Atchison: The mandatory composting that administration is talking about is certainly not what council has been talking about. Council hasn’t had that discussion yet. Right now, we are dealing with multi-unit recycling. We need to get that program up and run-ning. After we get that program up and running, if administra-tion wants to deal with some-thing else, council can always look it. Hav-ing said that, there is no reason why the administration can’t talk to the public to get some feedback about organic compost-ing. What I am hearing is that most people aren’t overly enthusiastic about manda-tory composting. A lot of people who are interested in organic composting are doing it already in their own backyards. Plus, composting of yard waste is already a vol-untary program in the city and thousands of people are doing that, too. So let’s take a deep breath, get condos and apartment recycling up and running and then take a look at other options.

Question: Is there a bin fatigue? How many do we have before we have too many?

Mayor Atchison: A lot of people had one bin; now they have two bins. I don’t know how you can ask people to have a third bin and then maybe a fourth bin. I think we have to get the current programs up and running, first of all, and make sure everything is running smoothly, and then we can talk and look into the future. This isn’t the right time.

Question: Why has the recently twinned section of McOrmond Drive between Nelson Road and Evergreen Boulevard not opened? It looks like the work is complete, with the exception

of line painting. It has been that way since August. This is a major thoroughfare and would make things safer when it is open.

Mayor Atchison: Your question is very timely. That section of McOrmond will be partially open this week, if it isn’t already. The contractor and the city crews have done the walk-through on the road-way and fixed a few signs and markings. Now the contractor is doing some final work on

the median so the inside lanes will be closed for a week or so. The Transporta-tion Department says the delay in open-ing was because crews were twinning the roadway all the way to Fedoruk Drive. That was to allow a safe crossover for vehicles.

You’re absolutely correct that opening this roadway will make travel much safer. And this is a sign of better things to come for that neighbourhood and for the city. McOrmond Drive will be the major con-nector to the new Parkway Bridge. Part of that P3 project will be the extension of Central Avenue from Attridge to McOr-mond Drive. Saskatoon is growing and we need to keep up with the kind of infra-structure that a great city deserves. By the way, the Parkway Bridge/Traffic Bridge project is moving ahead quickly. The City has already chosen the three consortiums that will compete for the project. Those groups are putting together their propos-als to be submitted late this year and the City will review them over the winter. Hopefully we will award the contract in late winter or early spring. This vital project is possible because our partners stepped up and I want to thank the federal government for the $66-million invest-ment and the province for its $50-million investment.

Question: You say the taxpayer shouldn’t be on the hook for transit workers’ pension plans, so you lock them out. Who were you looking after when you sold parcel Y at River Land-ing for $6 million under the appraised value? Then you raised taxes.

Mayor Atchison: On the transit side, I don’t want a lockout any more than anyone else does. We have eight of nine unions and associations agreeing to the adjust-ments to the pension plan, along with a 10-per-cent increase in wages over the next four years. We are asking the ninth union, the Amalgamated Transit Union 615, to participate in the same manner. The other unions were told there was no more funding available than what was on the table. We want to sign a contract. We want to make sure we get our riders back on buses and we want our employees back on the job. I can tell you the people out on the picket line have been very professional. I say kudos to them for handling it in such a professional manner. It is a tremendous

hardship on everyone. The sooner we can bring this to a conclusion and sign a con-tract, the better off we will be.

On the second part of your ques-tion: Parcel Y. The City sold Parcel Y to Lake Placid Developments on June 14, 2010. The purchase price was $5.24 mil-lion, which was set by the Land Branch. It was certainly considered a market-value sale. Lake Placid also purchased a lane between Parcel Y and the former Royal Canadian Legion site. The purchase price for the lane was $475,500. Again, this was considered a market-value sale. Lake Placid purchased the former Legion site for about $1.5 million. All three of these parcels were consolidated by Lake Placid into the current site at River Landing.

So your statement suggesting the land was sold for $6 million under the ap-praised value is not factual.

Hamburgers are staples of the North American diet, but did you know you can also clean your house with

them?Reena Nerbas, author of the column

Household Solutions, uses the hamburger example as an entertaining way to illus-trate how common household items can be double-purposed for anything from pest eradication to cleaning water stains off the coffee table.

“The premise of that is there are so many household hints out there. If you took the hamburger, there would be a household tip for every component of the hamburger,” she said in an interview.

For example, wasp elimination is easy if you take the meat of the burger and lace it with borax.

“They’ll gobble it up and, after a few days, you would not see them anymore,” she said.

Nerbas will speak at the upcoming Saskatoon Fall Home Show, from Oct. 24-26. Hailing from Blumenort, Man., Nerbas originally thought her career might be in fashion. She graduated from the University of Manitoba with a human ecology degree — formerly known as home economics — and a business minor.

“I just liked clothes. I loved buying clothes and spending my paycheque on clothes. That was about the extent of my 18-year-old brain.”

After graduating, she worked for fashion retailer Ricki’s at its head office in Winni-peg. Not long after, she began to realize that she loved communicating — telling stories and connecting with people.

“After I started having children, I started teaching preschool. I used to make up stories and tell stories to the children there. I realized I loved telling stories, so I decided, ‘I’m going to be a children’s book author. How hard can it be?’ ”

She plunged into story writing and began sending her stories to various publishers.

“Two hundred rejection letters later, I thought, ‘This isn’t as easy as I thought it would be,’ ” said Nerbas. “I thought maybe I should use the degree I went to school for, do something with that instead, but still try and get some books published.”

Nerbas started by writing to the Win-nipeg Free Press, asking if the newspaper would be interested in publishing a house-hold hints column. When she didn’t hear back, she called one of the editors, who agreed to publish it. The problem was that Nerbas had not yet come up with any household hints.

That was 13 years ago, so she did not have the Internet to turn to for research.

Instead, she immersed herself in books and started experimenting in the kitchen.

“Finally I had a column, and that column started to snowball into other columns, which snowballed into radio shows and TV shows like the Steven and Chris show and Canada AM.”

That gave her the basis for her first book proposal. She sent a publisher an idea for a book on 500 household substitutions: if you run out of something in the house, what else could you use for a similar purpose? Similar to the household hints idea, she had no substitutions in mind, so it was back to the research.

The publisher liked the substi-tutions, but objected that there weren’t enough of them to fill a book.

“So I said, ‘What if I add my columns to them?’ And he said, ‘Now you’ve got a book.’ Within the first year it became a national bestseller, and within the first three years, there were three national bestsellers. There was a series, called Household Solu-tions 1, 2 and 3.”

At the same time, Nerbas was speak-ing at home shows and to mothers’ groups.

“The whole idea of what I speak on at these types of shows is not based on go-ing out and buying new products, not go-ing out and buying what we see on TV, but going back to what our grandmothers used to use, and our grandmothers’ grandmoth-ers. Things that were tried and true and they were tested, but they’re not spraying chemicals into our air. They’re actually healthier, and more affordable.”

She focuses on what she calls “house-hold superstars,” such as peanut butter, ketchup and mayonnaise. For instance, Nerbas says you can use mayonnaise on the coffee table to remove condensation stains that result from pizza boxes, for example. Her advice has caught on, in print and in person.

“Now I have over a million readers and I’m in over 50 columns across Canada and the United States,” she said. “I speak prob-ably once a week.”

She loves the speaking engagements, but recently she has partly shifted her focus from household hints to better communica-tions.

“As I was writing the column over the last few years, I was receiving calls, letters and emails. Often you will get some really nasty comments from people who don’t agree, which is fine. People who say they have a better hint than what I put in, which I love, because it makes the hints even better, but you get some people swearing at you and yelling at you for things I have

put in the column.“If I say, for example, (use) butter versus

margarine, they will just be angry. If I put anything about getting rid of mosquitoes, chipmunks, deer, rabbits, I will just get the nastiest letters you have ever seen.

“I started speaking on the power of words, and how we can get our point across either slashing people and putting them down, or by using our words to get our point across without putting people down and breaking them. “

Nerbas says it’s not just the business she is in that attracts nastiness. With the pro-liferation of social media, “it’s everybody, everywhere. Even with texting and Face-book, the way we come across, we have to be so careful. With social media, we don’t know how we come across.”

Not one to rest on her present laurels, Nerbas is venturing into yet another speak-ing portfolio.

“I think the next thing is going to be speaking more on public speaking. Giving workshops and classes on public speaking is really important. That’s the number one fear. How can we overcome that?”

On top of all her activities, she has also overcome health challenges caused by a heart problem at birth. The largely self-

taught entrepreneur is making work fit her life, and her passion for communication is just one of the things driving her.

“One of the things is just wanting to be home in my job. I want to be home as much as I can because I have four kids.”

Her experiences with her column make her “want to get out there and speak on the power of words. It would be a benefit to people if we all controlled what we’re saying. That’s a passion for me, to try and build people up that way.

“And I’m an entrepreneur. . . . You can make your own schedule and take the work that you want.”

Here’s a theme that couldn’t be simpler. You can decorate just by taking a walk in your own back-yard.

Create a colourful design using sunflowers, cattails and wheat shafts. Arrange them in a big vase in the centre of the dining-room table. Place autumn leaves on the table around the base of the vase.

Glue gold velvet leaves onto a charger platter to create an interest-ing display base for a fall candle arrangement. Use either hot glue or a spray adhesive to attach the leaves.

Place a fat orange or yellow candle in a low bowl. Fill the bowl around the base of the candle with

orange and black jellybeans or candy corn. For a larger display, create a candle “garden” on a platter, and fill the base with candy corn.

To make easy napkin rings for fall, hot glue some leaves around one-inch-wide rounds of cardboard tubing (from gift wrap rolls). Glue a strip of coloured paper or fabric to the inside of the ring. Attach two pieces of raffia on the bottom with hot glue, and bring them around to tie a bow on top. This will help hold the leaves down. A drop of glue under the bow will hold it in place.

Hollow out several mini pumpkins and use them as votive holders. (Remember, never leave burning candles unattended.)

An array of gourds adds an interesting touch to home exteriors. Although they will only last a few days, they do add ambience to your porch. For the interior, hollow out the inside of a larger gourd or small squash, to make a “bowl” in which you can serve soup, dips, relish or ketchup to guests. In each case, make sure to use a uni-formly shaped gourd or squash with a flat bottom.

Pumpkin snowman: Stack three pumpkins in graduated sizes, drilling holes through each and inserting a large stick to secure. Add stick arms and a face using a black marker.

Holiday wreath: Buy an inexpensive grapevine wreath and glue on fall items such as pine cones, tiny gourds, corn, acorns, etc. Top it off with a fall-coloured bow.

Pine cone turkeys: Using a large pine cone, glue a brown pipe cleaner to the smaller end and curl the top of the pipe cleaner to look like the turkey’s neck. On the opposite end of the pine cone, glue small brown feathers. Group this pine cone turkey with others for a centrepiece or leave individually as placecard holders.

Changing your window treatments from light summery fabrics and colours to something with a heavier texture and darker colour is one quick way to warm up a room for fall.

Preserving leaves: Place foliage between two pieces of waxed paper (waxy side against the leaves and cover the

ironing board cover with a towel). Press the wax paper with a medium-hot iron, coating the leaves with the wax. Peel off the wax paper. Replace the wax paper for each pressing.

Use an old wagon, man’s boot or bench to hold your outside autumn display. Arrange a bale of hay, corn stalks and pretty coloured leaves. Add a couple of gourds and a few pumpkins, a scarecrow and a straw hat.

I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Need a corporate presenter on the topic Harness the Power of Words? Check out my website: reena.ca.

HAMBURGER VEGETABLE SOUP

1 pound lean ground beef2 cups potato, diced2 cups canned tomatoes, chopped2 carrots, chopped2 teaspoons salt

1/4 cup rice or barley1/8 teaspoon pepper6 cups water1/2 cup celery, diced1 medium onion, chopped

It is a cold drizzly day with the first snowflakes in the air as I am writing this. I have a pot of this wonderful soup on the stove simmering for supper. I had forgotten what a good recipe this is. One of the Breast Friends served this to us annually at our winter family get-together. It is now a favourite in our homes and the homes of our children. My daughter called not long ago because she had forgotten what

we named it in the cookbook. To her it is just Nat’s Hamburger Soup. Enjoy it and stay warm. Check our website — breastfriends.ca — for our great Christmas special.

“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” — Abraham Lincoln

Wow! The New York Times (NYT) has declared a Home

Cooking Manifesto. Everyone — countless docs, nutritionists, public health experts, celebrity chefs — wants us to cook more.

Wow, wow! There’s even a free app for loyal subscribers with the complete NYT recipe archive (16,000-plus) for digital encouragement. You can always cook with an app, right?

To launch this stellar initiative, the food editors featured Craig Claiborne’s famous Southern Smothered Chicken, a recipe so easy that it only requires a whole organic chicken, a butcher who can properly excise the backbone and a spare brick or dumb bell to weight the bird down while it’s in the oven — the smothered part, I presume.

The NYT mantra is apparently to Just Cook. After I read through this particular recipe, I was dumbstruck by the food edi-tor’s initial choice, and started wondering what planet the good intentioned folks from the NYT were inhabiting in our 21st-century, time-deprived existence.

We are all so anxious about everything, and food is not immune. I am not infre-quently asked about what diet I’m following. There are now so many diet schemes I can’t always keep them straight, from paleo to cabbage soup for a week. So, I usually fob off the question and respond that I follow the “real-food” diet.

By both inclination and history, I tend to be a scratch cook who prepares regular meals from the freshest ingredients I can find. As well, I try to cook as seasonally as it’s reasonable for a Canadian.

But I didn’t get to this point in my culi-nary skills and habits by magic or voodoo. It took years to cultivate the skills I now take for granted, and there were many mishaps along the way. In my less than humble opin-ion, I feel the habit of home cooking needs

to be wholly nurtured and won’t endure without infrastructure.

You can be wholly commit-ted to the idea, but when actually faced with the reality, home cooking can be pretty over-whelming without human and organizational support.

I’m one of those lucky people who has a great well-purposed kitchen with tons of working space, a terrific fridge, a convec-tion oven and a gas hob with a wok ring. I have an array of

kitchen tools that might even impress Jamie Oliver. I’ve seen shock and awe on the faces of guests when I open my spice drawer.

I also keep a pantry. It may not look like a conventional one, but a pantry it is. I have baking supplies, various types of pasta and noodles, a bevy of rices (wild, sushi, jasmine, basmati, Arborio), dried beans, lentils and flours always on hand. I usually have two or three kinds of potatoes, and three kinds of onions. I keep fresh ginger and garlic on hand.

I also grow a Simon and Garfunkel garden on the deck (parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme), along with oregano and savory and some mint I’m always trying to murder. Good fortune allows us to participate in a community fishery, where we have access to fabulous local prawns and salmon. We have a secret source for crab. My freezer is full.

The point that I seem to be driving home with a meat pounder is that home cooking is not ever easy if you are not well prepared. It’s even worse when the cook arrives home bone tired from a long day in the salt mines and there are mouths beyond yours clamour-ing for dinner, and Mother Hubbard’s cup-boards need a trip to the grocery store.

Obviously, I’m some kind of born-again apostle for the home cooking movement, and it can even be infectious. (In our small family everyone cooks.) After my husband, Frank, agreed to be in charge of all things supper during our European years, he devel-

oped a fine repertoire of great recipes. Now, he’s known to one and all as the Jam Hero for his more recent forays into jams, jellies and relishes.

I frequently shake my head when I am spying on the contents of other people’s grocery carts, wondering why they contain so little real food and so many pre-prepared items. I also wonder at whether they know what they are missing.

But, quite honestly, I have no better answer to the dilemma of home cooking than the NYT. I have a couple of vague ideas that would involve restoring mandatory home economics to adolescents of both genders. I suppose you’d have to call it something like “Creative Artisanal Cuisine” to be politically correct. Maybe we need personal cooking coaches not dissimilar to those life coaches we now hire to de-clutter our closets and

more. Oh yes, and opportunities to be on reality television.

Another small step that I’d recommend for the neophyte home cook would be to invest in a no-frills slow cooker. Anyone can use one, and if a slow cooker won’t convert the resistant to home cooking, I don’t know what will. There is nothing quite like falling in the front door after a long day at work and inhaling that first whiff of what’s been sim-mering all day long on the counter.

Somehow, though, I think trying to get everybody to religiously embrace home cooking, followed by the subsequent ideal family dinner, is akin to the proverbial prob-lem of trying to turn an ocean liner.

Yet, for me, the quest is still worthwhile, and my hope springs eternal.

So, what’s in your pantry? What’s for supper tonight?

You have to be well prepared to cook at home

Eight entertainment acts are ready to put their talents to the test in the first-ever Saskatoon Zoomer Idol competition, booked Oct. 30 at the German Cul-

tural Centre.A zoomer is a relatively new phrase; coined to iden-

tify “baby boomers with a zip.” They represent people in their 50s, 60s or 70s and want to remain socially or culturally active.

The Saskatoon Zoomer Idol contest originated with the Saskatoon Council on Aging, which then called upon Gary Gullickson to serve as the coordinator. Auditions were held and a field of 22 was reduced to eight finalists over a three-day period.

Diversity is the key word in describing the eight acts who have qualified for the final.

Slim Chance and the High Rollers are a musical trio consisting of Karen Schmidt, Bryan Fredrickson and Syl White. They came out of a University of Saskatchewan house band to create a signature sound for events like the Dragon Boat Races and at regular functions held by the Nutana Rotary Club.

The Paddlewheelers consists of four electrical guitar players — Wayne Salloum, Maurice Postnikoff, Doug Porteous and Evert Van Olst. They’ve done more than 500 performances from senior homes to rodeo bars.

Mildred Novak and Cheryl Mercier are mother-daughter pianists who have played together for 30 years. They have played at Canada Remembers Air show, among other events.

Timothy Hampton is a roots singer, troubadour, bard and warrior poet who sings true tales about the Canadian Prairies.

Barry Heath is the cowboy poet, who spins tales of ranching and farm life, all with trials and tribulations, much told from the viewpoint of a veterinarian at practice.

Lila Henderson is a singer who has appeared with the Saskatoon Summer Players (most recently in the 2012 staging of The Producers), Gateway players and Saska-toon Chamber Singers.

Dale Berry, Dave Lesser, Norm Woodcock and Steve Walker are the Close Chorders, a barbershop quartet. They have been entertaining as a group for 16 years.

Pat Thode and Terri Woods are known as the Texas Tap-pers, who discovered each other’s talents when Thode was choreographing the annual musical in Brownsville, Texas. They have now shared the Brownsville stage for three years in a row.

“The Saskatoon Council on Aging has been staging an-nual fundraisers for several years,” said Gullickson. “And there isn’t a better way to celebrate than to foster a talent contest. There are still a lot of seniors involved in music. I hope this competition will foster year-round activities where these individuals will go and perform in senior homes. I also hope that now that we’ve got the first one in swing that we get to keep it going annually.”

Doors open on Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. Supper will be served at 6 and the people will have a choice in the voting dur-ing the 7:30 program. Tickets are $75, with a partial tax receipt. Proceeds will go to the Saskatoon Council on Aging, which promotes dignity, health and independence of older adults.

The year 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War, and Saskatoon lawyer and

author Michael Krawchuk wants you to continue to reflect on the impact it had on Canada: the people, the communities and the nation.

Krawchuk, who is presenting and signing his book, The Battle of Vimy Ridge: Wall of Fire at Saskatoon’s McNally Robinson on Oct. 23, has been a history buff ever since he was a child.

“As I got older, my interest began to focus on the First World War,” said Krawchuk. “This was part-ly due to the fact that my great-grandfather served in the war, but also because I began to learn and ap-preciate the significance of World War One. As I learned and understood more, I wanted to do some-thing with this information. I felt compelled to share it. For me, being someone who has always enjoyed writing, the best way to make a contribution was to write a book.”

Krawchuk believes Canada’s participation in the First World War is of great significance in our history, and it is widely accepted that The Battle of Vimy Ridge is the most famous Canadian military victory. It was also a major achievement for Canada as a nation. His book tells the story of the extreme tactical and technological challenges facing the Canadian troops on Vimy Ridge, as well as those endured by the soldier in the trenches.

“It was quite a process (to write the book), as it took me about seven years,” said Krawchuk, who worked on it before work and on weekends before taking a year-long sabbatical to complete it.

“I did a lot of archival research. The National Ar-chives has an excellent website providing access to the War Diaries of Canadian units in the First World War. The War Diaries include day-to-day records, operation orders and battle reports. They were extremely valuable and interesting, and formed the backbone of my book.

“I also read a lot of soldiers’ letters and diaries to try

to understand what the soldiers went through. In my book I did use excerpts from some of these as voices of those who were there. I was fortu-nate to have had the opportunity to make two

visits to Vimy Ridge. While the battlefield has changed, it is amazing to actually be there.”

Today Krawchuk is in the midst of writing a book about the Battle of Hill 70, a lesser known but brutal battle Canadians fought shortly after the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

“I think it is important for Canadians to reflect on the impact the First World War had on Canada. It is such a significant event for the country. The nation’s participa-tion was huge — one in 11 people were in uniform. The losses were horrible, with 60,000 people killed — the equivalent to 250,000 in today’s population.

“The First World War was part of the transformation of Canada from a colony into a nation,” he said. “I think it is important to remember what this generation of Ca-nadians experienced, suffered and accomplished.”

Michael Krawchuk will be signing, speaking and answering questions about his book, The Battle of Vimy Ridge: Wall of Fire, at Saskatoon’s McNally Robinson on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.

First World War turning point in Canada’s

Actor David van Belle is not afraid to take risks. As the star of a one-man show, all

eyes are on him. If he messes up a line, there’s no one else on stage to save him.

Van Belle’s job is to keep the audience members engaged for 70-odd minutes — sometimes as he rises above them while clipped into a flying harness.

It’s all par for the course when van Belle performs in The Highest Step in the World, the latest production on offer as part of Persephone Theatre’s 2014-2015 main stage season.

“Not only am I suspended above the ground — which really sort of helped me get over my fear of heights — but it’s also pretty risky. Any kind of solo show is risky; you’re up there by yourself. You lose a line, nobody’s there to help you out,” said van Belle.

“It could be, potentially, a very vulner-able situation. I make a point every day before I go out on the stage to perform the show, I always remind myself that I’m there to meet the audience and to really be there in the space with the audience, so I don’t feel so alone.”

Van Belle is the star of Ghost River Theatre’s The Highest Step in the Word, which he co-wrote with director Eric Rose.

The idea for the show came back in 2006, when van Belle became inspired after watching a late-night documentary about a United States Air Force colonel named Joseph Kittinger. Kittinger made world-record-setting history in 1960, when he travelled 102,800 feet in the air in a high-altitude balloon before jumping back to Earth.

Van Belle hadn’t heard of Kittinger before, but he knew the story would make a great show. He quickly contacted Rose to discuss the idea.

“I’m a huge NASA nerd, and so is Eric. We love space. We especially love that era. But neither Eric nor I had actually ever heard this story before,” said van Belle.

“The next day, I think, I called up Eric, and I said, ‘I just saw this great documen-tary about this guy who rode up to the edge of space in a balloon and then skydived

back to Earth about 33 kilometres up.’ I said, ‘We should do a show about this,’ and Eric said, ‘Oh yeah, totally. We could do it with a flying harness and a projection.’ It just kind of spiralled off from there.”

Van Belle and Rose envisioned using flying technology and projection tech-nology to tell Kittinger’s story, and they explored those ideas before writing the script. Ghost River Theatre, which is based in Calgary, received support from Alberta Theatre Projects, and The Highest Step in the World premiered in early 2010 at the Enbridge playRites Festival of New Canadian Plays.

While most people haven’t heard of Kittinger before, they “instantly recognize” what a great story he has, said van Belle.

“It’s a story about risk, and I guess the play is all about the necessity of risk in our lives,” he said.

“I would say what Eric and I are after, in our work at Ghost River Theatre, is how do we find mythologies for modern living. So the play isn’t just about something that happened more than 50 years ago; it’s meant to be something about our own lives and about the risks that we take in our everyday lives.

“There’s a number of stories that are woven into this play, so it’s not just the story of Kittinger — although that kind of forms the spine of it. But there’s a couple of other narratives that are kind of woven in and out that kind of expand that mythol-ogy of risk.”

It’s been a little over a year since Ghost River Theatre last presented the show, but it’s all coming back to van Belle, who serves as the company’s co-artistic direc-tor.

“It’s just been really great to kind of step back into it. I realize how well I know the show after four years. It’s kind of nice to kind of hit that point where you feel confident in the playing of the show.”

Van Belle said “everything is made from scratch” at Ghost River, so people won’t have seen the show previously pro-duced by another theatre company. Ghost River is a “creation company,” meaning it does not produce plays that have been previously written or produced.

“We use what’s called a devised theatre

methodology, so we start from scratch. We start with an idea. Even before we write a word of the script we play with images, we play with ideas,” said van Belle.

“We find out what are the things that really engage us about the story. Visual-ity is a huge part of our esthetic, by which I mean that we believe the theatre is not just a kind of literary form that’s put up on stage where the playwright sits down and writes a script and then passes it on to somebody else and they produce it. Although that’s a fine model, it’s not necessarily what we do at Ghost River. So we often have our designers engage with us from the very beginning of the process.”

Van Belle said The Highest Step in the

World is one of his favourite shows in the Ghost River repertoire. Audience members “really respond to the humanity of it,” even though the show includes video pro-jection and “a strong sense of spectacle,” he said.

“I think we manage to strike a good balance in the play, in that we really put the story front and centre, and that’s what drives the technology. The technology doesn’t drive the story — the other way around.”

The Highest Step in the World runs from Oct. 22 to Nov. 9. Tickets are $23 to $38 and are available from the Persephone Theatre box office by calling 306-384-7727 or going online to persephonetheatre.org.

Readers of this column know exactly how I

feel about minor hock-ey culture in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan. (If you’re new around here, all you need to know is that it’s not much.)

This year my talented son has been elevated to Tier One in his division. In minor hockey speak, that means he’s playing at an advanced level, and for that I’m extremely proud of him. He loves everything about hockey — from playing it to watching it to studying it and even collecting thousands of be-loved cards. I wouldn’t deny him that for anything, ever.

So that’s the preface to how I feel about what is likely going to be a year from hell. The reality is that at any level of minor hockey, the bad behaviour of hockey par-ents is inescapable. To be clear,

I define “bad behav-iour” as screaming, swearing, pounding the boards, yelling at the referees (who are children themselves), yelling at other parents and just generally acting like a loud-mouthed buffoon.

Cheering, yes loudly, for the chil-dren on the ice is perfectly appropriate.

But there’s a world of difference between that and being an ass – and it usually starts with knowing how to cheer for your player’s accomplishments without (inten-tionally or otherwise) boisterously cheering for another player’s misstep. You’ll know it when you see it – that little guy or girl skat-ing off the ice, head sinking lower and lower into their chest, as the opposing team’s parents shriek wildly for their kids. It makes me cringe every time. How do you not see that?

Anyway, the bad behaviour occurs at any level, but in my experience it gets worse as the children get older. Now, com-bined with the advanced level — meaning advanced level of competition — I anticipate this year will be utterly painful. I don’t do well around hockey parents behaving badly, but acting upon it then simply drops me into the same category. So I stand by myself a lot.

I digress from the original point (yes, there is one) of this column. It revolves around an issue that isn’t unique to minor hockey – that of mandatory vol-unteering.

Running any children’s activ-ity is a monolithic accomplish-ment, and diehard, dedicated volunteers comprise the backbone of the system.

Typically a core base of parents will pull together various tasks for other team parents to fulfill. Unsurprisingly, fundraising is often wide open. Those that can

volunteer, do. The rest of us write cheques faster than they can print them.

Here’s what I resent: manda-tory volunteering. My son’s father is already coaching, and I have a toddler at home. Oh, and about four full-time jobs. If you do, too, and you are able to find the time to volunteer, congratulations. But I don’t, despite being subtly informed this year that I was going to have to. Guess how that worked out.

I volunteer, a lot. I volunteer in other sectors, however, which also fulfills a need – it just doesn’t happen to be sports-related, because that is not where I choose to donate my time. It’s my choice, I hope it’s a good one, because that’s what volunteering is all about. If we all did it for the same cause, there’s be some pretty big gaps out there.

This isn’t an issue unique to minor hockey. I hear about it time and time again from parents with kids in organized activities across

the gamut of local arts and sports groups. If there’s a cost involved for your child to participate in any activity, as a parent, you know what you’re getting into when you sign them up. If you don’t, you find out real quick when you wake up selling a kidney on the black market to pay fees.

The financial cost is an expected and typically justified factor when it comes to children’s activities. I draw the line at man-datory volunteering. I can, and will, donate my time to the causes I wish, which, yes, will include my son’s team.

However demanding it, or presuming one can simply as-sign another a task to another adult without their permission, is taking it too far. These presump-tions, which generate resentment, are also a big part of the reason hockey parenting is a problem. Well, one reason, anyway.

Stay tuned, because I’m sure throughout the season I’ll have more.

...Desired Profile... “Persons Too Young To Retire”

Answers on page 15By Boots and Jim Struthers


Ernie Wlock was eight years old when he was rummaging through trunks in the attic of an aunt and uncle’s home.

In those trucks he found letters. He was so intrigued by the stamps on them he cut some of them off the envelopes.

That was more than 60 years ago. “I started that way and kept expand-

ing,” he said, pointing out it is a no-no in the collector’s world to take stamps off of envelopes. “Those were the times when you could go into a magazine and send them 25 cents or 10 cents and get a bunch of free stamps. You just grow from there. In 1958 I got my first stamp album.”

For a while he collected stamps from around the world. He realized he would have to downsize. He put his emphasis on Canadian stamps, and promoting the hobby.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the Saskatoon Stamp Club. Wlock has been a member for almost 25 of those of years, including the last seven years as club presi-dent. The club currently has 56 members.

Like so many clubs, it is difficult to keep up the membership numbers. The world of communication has changed a lot since the letter “e” was put in front of the word “mail.”

“People still say it is the No. 1 hobby in the world, but no young people are coming in,” said Wlock.

Coin clubs have it a bit easier, he said.“People still like their coins and see it

as real value. You can take it and cash it at the corner store and that type of thing. It’s tougher now with stamps with all the email. It’s difficult to find bundles of used stamps to look through.”

Wlock has auctioned a big part of his

collection, but still evaluates stamps for oth-ers. He has donated thousands of stamps, and researches them and writes about them. Some of his work has been published. There might be a book in the future.

One of his most prized possessions was the first stamp issued in Canada – the three-pence beaver, issued in 1851. Wlock pur-chased his for $700 and sold it for $1,500. The stamp was designed by Sir Sandford Fleming, a Scottish-born Canadian engineer and inventor. The town of Fleming, Sask., is named after him.

Wlock has donated stamps to people around the world, including a teacher in Romania. He has sent her stamps by the $5 bundles to hand out.

“If I had to put number on it, I’d say I’ve sent her 20,000 stamps.”

He said many of the people attending the upcoming coin and stamp show will be hobbyists trying to find missing pieces in their collections. There will be 11 coin ven-dors and eight stamp vendors at the show.

He said there will be buying, selling and trading.

The big-ticket item at the show will be the 1959 five-cent St. Lawrence Seaway stamp with an inverted centre. Wlock said two panels of 50 stamps were issued when two sheets got turned around backwards. The stamp has a value of $25,000.

The show will be held on Oct. 25 and Oct. 26 at the Ramada Hotel & Golf Dome on Idylwyld Drive. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 25, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 26. Adult admission is $4. Children 12 and under are admitted at no charge.

Dear Lianne,Please help before I lose

my mind. My husband snores louder than a fog horn. I am tired, cranky and starting to resent his mere being. Is it OK to sleep in separate rooms? Please help me before I smother him with a pillow! — Tired

Dear Tired,Something definitely has to

be done. I would suggest the first step ought to be a checkup with his doctor, and eliminating the possibility of him having sleep apnea. If that is ruled out, you could try ear plugs and see if they ease the problem. I would also suggest exploring other devices by doing an Internet search. Having separate bedrooms should be your last resort.

Dear Lianne,I had an affair before my marriage

ended. On meeting women on initial dates, the question of how my marriage

ended comes up. I am uncer-tain about how to respond without sharing too much information and raising con-cerns about trustworthiness. At the same time, I would like to provide an honest answer. How would you suggest that I respond? — Uncertain

Dear Uncertain,Initially, I would explain

that you and your wife grew apart and went your separate ways. Once you are closer with the person it would be right to

provide more detail. One would hope that you have done work on yourself to ensure fidelity will not be an issue in your next relationship.

(With 20 years of successful matchmak-ing, I can help you find true love. I will be in Saskatoon interviewing new clients from Oct. 22-24. Call 1-204-888-1529 to reserve your appointment. Questions for this column should be sent to [email protected].)

Montreal Alouettes might be rubbing it in. Then again, I did notice they chose a game against the Roughriders to retire No. 13.l When Romanian tennis star Simona

Halep was 17 she had her breasts surgi-cally reduced to 34C. Still, she’s been big in Fed Cups.l The Winnipeg Blue Bombers re-

leased running back Nic Grigsby because he wasn’t producing. Upon reflection, they released the rest of the team.l Word is new Lions placekicker

Mike Prater was asked by a Detroit reporter how he’s been handling his drinking problem. I think that’s a loaded question.l A reality TV show has been

launched in Japan starring a bikini-wear-ing girl pop group who fans can ask on dates and even marry. Would that make them a wedding band?l A recent study has found profes-

sional athletes are more prone to dental problems. Who commissioned that study, the NHLPA?l Apparently there are some people

who think we have heard the last of retired Yankee Derek Jeter. They’re sadly mythtaken.l The NBA is considering reducing

games from 48 minutes to 44 minutes. And that’s just the last three minutes.

Despite rumours to the contrary, season two of Total Divas does not star Terrell Owens.

RJ’s Groaner of the WeekMy wife and I were having a drink

at a grizzly-bear-themed brew pub and noticed their mugs had a rabbit on the bottom. I figured their beer had a lot of hops.

Janice Hough, on Apple and Face-book covering the cost for female employees who want to freeze their

eggs and delay having children: “Makes sense. Why use those young and energetic years for motherhood when you can work 80-hour weeks for your company?”l What’s going on with my cable

television? As the New York Jets were lining up for a potential game-winning field goal against the New England Patriots, one of my sons yelled from his room: “They blocked it.” Five seconds or so later on my television, they indeed blocked it. Something is wrong with that picture. Something is wrong with a family that watches the same game in different rooms.l Torben Rolfsen, on Cowboys run-

ning back Joseph Randle being arrested for shoplifting cologne and underwear in Dallas: “He had to wait until he got back from Seattle because they don’t sell either one there.”l From Bill Littlejohn: “According

to a cnn.com report, you can now rent a virtual girlfriend in China for about $3. ‘Now they tell me,’ said Manti T’eo.”l TC Chong, on the NBA consider-

ing shortening its games from 48 to 44 minutes: “I’d go with 46. It’s the last two minutes that take forever.”l A tweet from @randyturner15:

“Programming note: Rogers just an-nounced that all future Oilers games will be aired on the Comedy Network.” l A tweet from former NHLer @

mattbarnaby3636: “Can mgmt in Ed-monton survive another bad year???? I mean Mactavish (sic) said big changes were coming … What are they??” Com-ment: I’m thinking Barnaby is carrying a grudge.l Another from Barnaby: “NYI

The Judge. I won’t be seeing it. Re-member when Duvall said he doesn’t like working in Canada because of the poor quality of our actors? Comment: Clearly I am carrying a grudge.l From Rolfsen: “The NBA is ex-

perimenting with shorter games. Or as the Milwaukee Bucks call it, the Mercy Rule.”l From Littlejohn: “In his new book

Parcells, Bill Parcells dishes on his former Jet defensive coordinator Bill Belichick for making a deal with the

team and then wiggling out of it to go to New England. Sounds like Parcells was hoodiewinked.”l Hough, on the Florida Panthers

announcing an attendance of 7,311 one night last week: “Or as the Mon-treal Expos used to call that, a packed house.”l From Chong: “Cameras were all

over George Brett celebrating when KC won Game 4 to advance to their first World Series in 29 years. Sadly, there was not a camera to be seen when UL Washington was handing out toothpicks in the locker room.”l Rolfsen, on police at the Eagles-

Giants game looking for a missing leg: “And you thought that was just a Detroit Lions problem.”l I have a feeling the Saskatchewan

Riders are going to finish fourth, cross over, get Darian Durant back and beat Edmonton in the Grey Cup. l Hough, on a social worker tes-

tifying for the defence in the Oscar Pistorius trial saying that an appropri-ate punishment would be 16 hours of community service, house arrest (in a mansion), and being allowed to contin-ue with his career as an athlete: “Even Los Angeles juries are thinking, ‘Are you nuts?’”l If you are a Riders fan and enjoy

pre-game and post-game radio, the best of the bunch is Darrell Davis, who appears on the Green Zone (NewsTalk 650). Darrell, a member of the Cana-dian Football Hall of Fame as a journal-ist, is one of few members of the Sas-katchewan media who tells it like it is. No gloss. No apologies. No pompoms.l From Rolfsen: “Phil Jackson said

Spike Lee knows nothing about bas-ketball. Sounds about right; he’s spent years watching the Knicks.”l Littlejohn, on Arizona manager

Chip Hale’s plan is to make every Dia-mondback 15 per cent better: “A waiter at a Philadelphia restaurant tweeted Chip, and asked if he could do that with LeSean McCoy.”l Steve Nash of the Lakers has

missed practices after injuring his back while carrying bags. “Steve, you’re in the NBA. Has Kobe not taught you anything? Why are you carrying bags? My goodness, man.”l Chong, on a drone flying over a

soccer stadium with a political banner and causing a brawl at a soccer game in Serbia between the host team and the visiting Albanians: “This would never happen at a CFL game as the only drones are in the broadcast booth.”

The Ride To Curl program was created in 2011 by Curl Saskatoon as a way answer the question “how do we get more elementary

school students in the city involved and interested in curling? We looked around,” says Samantha Yachiw, Junior Development Coordinator for Curl Saskatoon, “and realized that transportation to and from rinks was a cost that most schools could not afford.” And so the RTC program provides bussing to different city curling clubs so that Saskatoon students can learn more about curling.

Yachiw says that this year, in the program’s third season, they already have more than 30 classes lined up to take advantage of the transportation funding RTC provides. “More and more teachers are hearing about our program and asking about it, and curling in general is becoming more widely known with the success in the last few years of the Jennifer Jones and Brad Jacobs’ rinks, and with Canada’s strong showing at the Olympics and Paralympics this year. Even the kids whose parents don’t curl have a bit of an idea about what curling is.” When the kids get to the rink for the lessons, which Yachiw teaches, she says they are “curious and scared. Even though they may have seen the game on television, getting onto the ice is a whole different thing. But the nervous-ness gives way to excitement, and it is great to see all of these friends laughing together.”

Yachiw says that curling is a great activity for kids because “it is another form of physical activity, which all kids need to be involved with. Curling also teaches values like teamwork and sportsmanship, as well as things like balance on the ice. It teaches everyday life things.”

The Ride To Curl program has received some funding from Cameco, and is working on more community partnerships. And Yachiw says “we are looking for more dona-tions and sponsorships all the time. Every little bit helps.”

If you are interested in donating to the program, or if you are a teacher who would like more information, please contact Samantha Yachiw at 306-290-8621.

Ride to Curl a Hit with Parents and Students Curling is becoming an increasingly

popular activity for youth in Saska-toon, especially since the end of the

2014 Sochi Olympics, where Canada won the gold medal in every curling category. “We always see an influx in interest after Olympic wins,” says Curl Saskatoon’s Bob Westad. “The trick is to keep the kids inter-ested and engaged after they first join.”

To do this, Curl Saskatoon runs under-14 and under-19 leagues in the various city curling clubs. The motto for the younger kids, says Westad, is “Participation, not perfection. Kids get the best of both worlds by practicing on Wednesdays and playing six end games on Sundays, because they don’t just want to practice, they want to play, too.” The junior players also get to compete in the Novice Open League. As time goes on, Westad explains “the kids start to get better on their own. They begin to recognize their own strengths and weak-nesses, and they assemble their own teams. They get the feel of the rush of throwing

to the button, and they learn what it is like to sweep to win. They see rinks like the Jennifer Jones and Brad Jacobs rinks win-ning gold at the Olympics, and they say to themselves ‘I want that’.”

Westad says that curling is a good option for a number of reasons. Perhaps first and foremost is that “compared to hockey and even to soccer, curling is very affordable. There is very little equipment required, and fees for the juniors are very economical. It is also a good chance to meet new people and make new friends, not to mention being great exercise. And anyone can do it, from age nine to age 99.”

But perhaps the biggest attraction to curling for young people, Westad guesses, is the possibility. “I think that every curler who steps onto the ice starts small, realizes their potential and then believes they can go all the way to World’s.”

FullThrottleBy RHONDA WHEELERwww.wheelbasemedia.comOne of the most compelling reasons

to switch to an electric vehicle or a hybrid is to get away from paying

for gasoline. Not necessarily to get away from burn-

ing gasoline for transportation needs, but to get away from paying for it. Yes, the environment is a concern, but it’s hard to think you’re making a real difference when, big picture, you look at the lax standards of other countries, polluting industries in general, and issues such as deforestation and massive oil spills. It’s daunting.

On the other hand, saving some cash to put in your pocket for your kids clothing and for food and shelter is a very immedi-ate and real concern for most people. An affordable electric car that burns no gas at all is like putting money in the bank.

If you look at a vehicle such as the new BMW i3 electric, the miles-per-U.S.-gal-lon equivalent is 137 in city driving. Since electric cars don’t burn gasoline, what does this number really mean?

Simply put, it’s calculated on a cost comparison between gasoline and elec-tricity for two vehicles to cover the same distance. What that 137 number really means in terms we can all understand is that it costs about one-fifth the money to go the same distance as car rated at 25 mpg in the city, which I would consider a very efficient vehicle.

Geez, sign me up for that, in addition to any government subsidies to bring down the purchase price to the point I can afford it.

Here’s the funny thing. We all know that governments are dependent on (more like addicted to) tax to fund . . . stuff in general. And we all know that the tax on gasoline is enormous. In many instances there’s tax on tax.

But what if everyone suddenly started driving electric cars and no longer used gasoline? How would government replace that revenue?

Well, the good state of California is studying a new road fee that would be

based on the distance its residents drive. This would somehow replace gasoline tax as we slowly move away from it.

Assuming that the yearly driving cost for a gasoline-powered vehicle remained exactly the same after switching to the new tax, the big losers are, you guessed it: people who bought electric cars. The mon-ey they thought they were saving would be clawed back through mileage fees, and that marvelous 137 mpg equivalent for the BMW i3 would take quite a tumble. And depending on how far that number fell, it might mean that the only reason to buy an electric car would be because it produces little or no emissions. If you reread the first couple of paragraphs of this column, you’ll recall why that is a hard sell. Heck, it’s a hard sell now even with the cost savings on the fuel and the government subsidies to buy an electric car.

I, for one, understand that that lost gasoline revenue will need to be replaced or cuts to services somewhere will have to happen. California obviously sees the

handwriting on the wall: gasoline will eventually go the way of coal (bad ex-ample) or the way of the dinosaur (you see what I did there, right?) and it wants to be ahead of the curve to replace that money or even to make more. But should it really come at the expense of those who are adopting electric cars?

I think that’s the ultimate slap in the face, actually. To be led to buy an electric based on fuel-cost savings and subsidies, only to be hit with a road tax based on distance driven?

It kind of makes you wonder how the government would recoup tax money if we all suddenly began riding bicycles. It probably wouldn’t matter. Big Brother would still find a way to get his hand in your pocket.

Market indicatorsSaab, again: The Sweden-based automaker that was until a few years ago part of General Motors could finally be down for the count after a second bankruptcy

recently halted the brand’s limited production. Saab has now furloughed its 200 workers as the company’s backers have yet to bail it out. Meanwhile a major supplier is demanding that Saab be liquidated so it can be paid.

Zero-to-60-mph times: With the Nissan GT-R hitting 60 mph (96 km-h) from rest in less than three seconds, it sure took a while for a few rivals to get in the same ball-

park. News has finally come to The Sleuth that the 2015 Cor-vette Z06 can bust the three-second barrier as can the Dodge Charger/Challenger Hellcat. The shocking part is that both cars have at least 100 horsepower on the Nissan which means that zero-to-60-mph times really come down to one thing: trac-tion. The Nissan is all-wheel-drive.

Fisker Karma in line for some upgrades before it reappears: The Sleuth hears that plans to revive the mori-bund Fisker brand are looking pretty good. The Wanxiang Group of China, Fisker’s current owner, is planning to ramp up production of the US $100,000 Karma hybrid luxury car on or before mid-2015. That would be an impressive feat since production at its plant in Finland was halted in November 2012 after just 1,800 vehicles were built. That was also shortly before the departure of founder Henrik Fisker and a year before the automaker went bankrupt. The Spy Guy also understands that Wanxiang plans to give the Karma a sprucing, likely limited to interior materials, wheel designs and other non-structural and non-mechanical com-ponents. Previously Wanxiang announced it would eventu-ally move production of the Karma to the United States and roll out a smaller and less expensive model called the Fisker Atlantic.

Toyota looks to aluminum to lighten its fleet: Following on the heels of Ford’s new aluminum-bodied F-150 pickup, other automakers are consider-ing similar moves. Sources are telling The Sleuth that Toyota will make at least a partial move to aluminum body panels for some Lexus models, beginning with the 2016 RX 350 hatchback wagon that will feature a hood and tailgate made from the alloy. Also in the planning stages is the next-generation Toyota Camry that will use an aluminum hood. Apparently the move to aluminum has the steel industry fighting back with claims that new processes being developed will al-low for metal body panels to be made as light and as strong as aluminum. Reducing vehicle weight allows car companies to use smaller engines that will help

meet upcoming stricter fuel-economy standards.

A new GLK will look . . . better: Putting this as delicately as pos-sible so as not to offend current GLK owners, your Obedient Spy-master is of the opinion that the current edition of Mercedes-Benz’s compact wagon ute lacks the attractiveness of its competitors. In his eyes, the GLK’s front end and tall glass area seems somewhat askew when compared to, for instance, the larger GL-class wagon. Fortu-nately a solution will soon present itself, as an all-new GLK is scheduled to arrive for the 2016 model year. From viewing some spy-camera images, it appears the next GLK will be a bit longer and wider and will likely share the same four-cylinder and V6 engines as the C-Class sedan. In fact, as the GLK continues to be based on the C-Class, a strong possibility exists that it will be rechristened the GLC. The move is part of M-B’s planned nomenclature overhaul that in the next few years will see similar adjustments for some of its other models.

The GLK will get new proportions that will be more pleasing to the eye than the current GLA.

The new Corvette Z06 comes close to match-ing the Nissan GT-R’s zero-to-60-mph (96 km-h) time, but the ’Vette needs 105 more

horsepower to do it.

While aluminum is not a new thing, it took the Ford F150 to get everyone thinking about using it

in their own vehicles.

It has been a while since the Fisker Karma has been sold, so if it comes back to market, it’s going to need a bit of

a freshening.

It seems like just another quiet night in the big city. But that’s when

your trusty gumshoe

gets down and dirty

DRAWING BOARDVolkswagen XL Sport concept: VW’s two-

seat exotic is based on the limited-production, wind-cheating XL1 hyper-miler. The XL Sport features a mid-mounted 197-horsepower two-cylinder Ducati motorcycle engine that’s hooked up to a seven-speed automated manual transmis-sion. Volkswagen claims the engine can propel the 890-kilogram car to 100 km-h from rest in just 5.7 seconds and attain a top speed of 270 km-h.

EBAy WATcH1972 Datsun

240Z, sold, US $13,100: Two years following its 1970 debut, Datsun’s sexy Z-car had generated a huge following with sports-car fans. The 1,070-kilogram hatchback coupe originally came with a 150-horsepower inline six-cyl-inder engine that was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. However, this particular car has been transplanted with a 5.7-litre V8 and a three-speed automatic transmis-sion, plus numerous suspension and brake updates. Visit www.ebaymotors.com.

WHAT’S uP, AuTO DOc?While the process of swapping

your stock 16-inch wheels for a set of 20-inchers would appear to pro-vide instant handling benefits, that’s not usually the case. Sure, the stiffer and shorter sidewall construction of the tire will make the vehicle more responsive to steering inputs, but, conversely, it’s also more responsive to bumps, potholes and small stones, all of which make the ride worse. Also seldom considered is the weight of the new wheels and tires: often heavier. For example, once five kilo-grams of extra static weight at each corner gets rolling, it ends up being

many times that amount. More weight is harder to control and severely taxes a stock suspen-sion. The (ex-

pensive) cure usually lies somewhere in the spring/shock combination. Heavier wheels also reduce accelera-tion and increase braking distance, which is why it’s just as important to pay attention to weight as well as size.
