Carla Shynkaruk-Adamko can remember how she felt when she found out she would be dancing at

Saskatoon’s Vesna Festival 27 years ago.“I felt like I made the bigs,” she said.

“It was big-time getting to dance at Vesna, and for the first time, too. It’s just a totally different experience as a performer. It’s a cabaret and the audience is really close to you. As a performer, you really feel and work off the audience’s energy; they’re all really encouraging and clapping, so it was a dream come true as a dancer.”

Now Shynkaruk-Adamko will be watching her own two children dance in Saskatoon’s biggest celebration of Ukrai-nian culture. After moving back to Saska-toon from Edmonton last year, Shynkaruk-Adamko was approached by the Vesna

Festival board and asked to join the team. She happily signed on. This year, she is in charge of the marketing.

“I was away for 12 years, so you kind of forget. It was out of sight, out of mind,” said Shynkaruk-Adamko. “My mom has lived here all along, so she would mention when Vesna was coming up, and I would get that sense of nostalgia, that ‘Oh I miss that’ feeling. So when I came back and was asked to be on the board, it was an honour. It was that feeling I had all those years ago as a dancer once I actually went to the fes-tival and remembered how unique it was.”

This year’s event marks the 40th an-niversary of the festival. The theme is a Reunion to Remember, and Shynkaruk-Adamko says she hopes that this year’s festival brings together alumni and former members of the board.

“We want it to be like a reunion. We want people to come back and feel the

way I did after returning,” said Shynkar-uk-Adamko. “We’re trying to reach out to alumni through things like Facebook, and I’m spearheading a campaign to contact all the former board members. There are about 130 of them. This was really important to me because it’s not just about the board now; there are all these people before us who made the festival the suc-cess it is now. It’s important to appreciate that.”

Along with cultural dances, music and entertainment, the festival offers Ukrainian food and an artisan market with art pieces from across Canada. Vesna is recognized as one of Canada’s biggest and longest-running Ukrainian festivals.

Shynkaruk-Adamko moved to Balti-more in 1999, then to Edmonton, and back to Saskatoon in 2012. She was involved in the Ukrainian communities everywhere she moved, but says there is something

special about the Saskatoon brand of Ukrainian spirit.

“It was never the same. I was always kind of waiting for that Vesna experience, that Saskatoon Ukrainian community, and it never happened,” said Shynkaruk-Ad-amko. “So it was interesting for me to see that it’s not like this everywhere. Obvious-ly, I’m biased a little bit because I grew up here, so it’s my Ukrainian family. But the organization level here, the camaraderie and the event are all second to none.”

The Reunion to Remember Vesna Festi-val will take place on Saturday, May 11, at TCU Place. Doors open and entertainment begins at 6 p.m. Tickets are rush seating. Adults are $30, plus service charges, youth ages 13 to 18 are $15, and children 12 and under are free. For more information, or to reserve a table of eight for $35, plus charg-es, call the Vesna ticket hotline at 306-220-7470 or [email protected].

WE ARE going to ramp up our monthly fashion pages. We will be giv-ing the feature more space and working closely with two local experts in the field.

As you may have noticed last month, Courtney Bowman is going to coor-dinate our fashion pages and write a monthly column. Courtney brings pas-sion and knowledge to her role. We are grateful that we have her on board.

The outstanding photographs in this edition are those of Saskatoon’s Tyler

Harris. As you saw on the cover, the photo ac-companying this column and those on Pages 11-13, Tyler has the eye, the patience and talent for fashion photography. Shooting for hours and only getting a hand-ful of shots that please him goes

with his territory. Rest assured, there will be a lot of heart and soul put into every photo we run.

We looked at 45 images before selecting the ones to highlight in this edition.

Courtney and Tyler are going to set up shoots with local stores. It’s a case of what you see is what you can purchase.

We are looking forward to working on this feature with Courtney, Tyler, lo-cal models and Saskatoon retailers.

As you will see in this edition, we are off and running.

I WAS surprised when Gloria Pow-ell-Smith let me into her home. Gloria is a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan, and I am a never-a-Leaf fan. I’ve made a career out of bad Leafs jokes in my compilation of sports and news humour — to use the term loosely.

Gloria was much more forgiving than most on the day Ned Powers and I visited Gloria and her husband, Bryce Smith.

Unlike Gloria, one fan I dealt with for more than five years was way over the top. Scary over the top. Nasty, nasty emails. Letters, with one similar to what you would see in a movie — letters cut out and pasted on. That one fooled me.

It got to the point where I kept a file with everything he sent. I told friends if I should ever end up missing or dead, this would be a good place to start an investigation.

Our relationship ended in a bizarre way. He told me to never write him again.

On the other hand, Gloria was pleasant. She even baked a cake for the visit. I wanted Ned taste it first.

AT A WEBSITE named www.FPInfomart.ca, hundreds of thousands of newspaper stories from around the country are archived and can be purchased.

Last week, I wanted one of my old StarPhoenix columns. I chuckled when I had pay $5.20 for something I wrote. The column wasn’t worth 25 cents, by the way.

I understand all about copyrights and Postmedia owning work that staff members produce, as well as that written by freelancers that signed contracts with the company.

The twist here is I wrote the piece on my own time, as a freelancer. I didn’t sign a contract, so do I still own the story, as well as 900 others in the database? I am willing to settle

out of court, if I get my $5.20 back.SPEAKING of The StarPhoenix, I

just celebrated my second anniversa-ry of being here, and not being there.

One of those in a corner office at Postmedia said we wouldn’t make it a year. Well, we’re alive and kicking. For that, we are grateful to our read-ers and our advertisers. We couldn’t have all this fun without you.

LAST WEEK was a bit dramatic for Sandy and me. We decided to cancel our landline. We were getting far too many annoying phone calls. When we reviewed our caller list, we found only our parents and Ned were consistently phoning us. (Note: I am not giving Ned my cellphone number.)

It was difficult to give up the phone number we have had for 35 years. We are resigned to the fact we will never win a $3.95 cruise.

Gloria Powell-Smith wishes, in hindsight, she would have named one of her sons Keon. As in Dave Keon, the man many

regard as the greatest Toronto Maple Leafs player of all-time.

It’s a good thing for Powell-Smith’s sons the best-ever Leaf didn’t have surnames such as Butcher or Zezel or Puppa or Muni or McCool. The poor kid. Well, maybe McCool Smith has a bit of a ring to it. Not a Stanley Cup ring though.

Powell-Smith has had to live with the disap-pointment of her team not winning the Stanley Cup since 1967, and just now reappearing in the playoffs for the first time since the 2003-2004 season. She recently wore a Leafs jersey to church and purchased a car that is Maple Leaf blue. It could have been an Edsel, as long as it was Leafs blue.

She believes God is a Leafs fan. But how does that explain 10 years without a spot in the post season?

“We were just waiting,’’ she said with a laugh. Trips to Toronto, with husband Bryce, are

pilgrimages. When she walked past the old Maple Leaf Gardens, she touched it. Just because.

Hockey has played a role in Powell-Smith’s life since she was a girl in Ebenezer, 12 miles north of Yorkton. The retired teacher incorporated hockey into her lesson plans. She beat a group of men, in-cluding University of Saskatchewan Huskies coach Dave Adolph, in a hockey trivia game. It was on Shaw Cable, if you want to rewind the tape.

“Growing up in rural Saskatchewan, there was one television station – CBC – and two hockey teams. You were either a Leafs fan or a (Montreal) Canadiens fan. My dad must have swung me to the Leafs.

“It was a great way to grow up. The rink was behind our house. We’d go out and play shinny every night and then, in the spring, you would wait for it to melt, and would walk the boards looking for all the pucks that went into the snowbanks and nobody found.’’

She has an undated program from a game that was played in either 1939 or 1945, depending on whether her father was heading to or returning from the Second World War.

“When they were closing the Gardens, I had to go,’’ she said from the lower level of her home, where she has a collection of sports memorabilia extending far beyond her beloved Leafs. “We saw two games in Maple Leaf Gardens.’’

That was in 1999, just months before the Leafs moved to the Air Canada Centre. Powell-Smith has a visit to the Air Canada Centre on her to-do list.

“I love hockey; it’s my love. I love hockey, then football, then baseball,’’ she said. “Bryce doesn’t know how lucky he is; I watch everything. I love the Masters — I just love the Masters. I am a Tiger (Woods) fan. I like Tiger the golfer, but not Tiger the man that let us all down.’’

Her memorabilia collection includes items so rare that Paul Henderson and Marcel Dionne didn’t remember them, despite their faces being dis-played prominently on posters. Henderson asked and received a copy of the one featuring him.

Powell-Smith has hockey, baseball and football

TheMaple Leafs

SASKATOONEXPRESS - May 6-12, 2013 -

items. The Roughriders rank up there with the Leafs. Her basement wall is more than a tribute to the Maple Leafs. She has a Boston Bruins jersey with Orr on the back, despite him snubbing her years ago.

“I wrote Bobby Orr when I was a kid and all I got back, and I still have it, was an invitation to a boys’ hockey school. So he never read my letter.’’

Gloria and Bryce are volunteering at the Memorial Cup. She is hopeful Orr might be in town and she can get her jersey signed. She is willing to forgive and forget.

Bryce was a Leafs fan at one time, but says he moved on after the team traded Dicky Duff during the 1963-64 season. Clearly, Bryce can hold a grudge.

Powell-Smith incorporated her passion for hockey into her passion for teaching. How McCool is that?

“I taught school all these many years and always had a shrine in my classroom. I tried to make every kid a Maple Leaf fan,’’ she said with a laugh.

She talks fondly about her days at John Lake School.

“It still had a big rink outside. I would do the supervision at 20 to nine in the morning. I’d be out with my kids playing shinny and I would have a Maple Leaf hat on – you know the red one? The deal was you couldn’t hit the teacher.

“I got a lot of my girls interested in hockey and a couple of them have gone on to play university hockey. I hoped one of my girls would have made it to the national team.’’

Hockey became part of her teaching during the spring.

“I would teach my nutrition unit in health. In gym, we would have the Stanley Cup playoffs. We would go and we would make four teams and we would start every game singing O Canada at the top of our lungs and tap-ping our sticks. It always went down to the seventh and final game.’’

She said one student caught on.“ ‘Mrs. Powell-Smith, you really

made it go seven games,’ ’’ he said. “He figured it out. He was a very com-petitive young man and his team ended up losing. I remember saying you have to be gracious in winning and gracious in losing.

“Then, we would have a Stanley Cup party, but it would be our nutri-tion party. We had sparkling apple cider and we were toasting our team, and everybody got a trophy. I thought those kids won’t remember that I taught them to multiply and divide, but will remember the hockey, so it was pretty neat.’’

It is pretty neat having the Leafs back in the playoffs. She gives a lot of credit to new coach Randy Carlyle and the job he has done with the young team.

“What did Don Cherry say? When people come into the Air Canada Cen-tre now, they are scared? It’s a bigger team and there are enforcers on the team. They have good penalty killing. They’ve gone from last place to third in the league. Look at the Kings last year. They were a blue-collar hockey team. Nobody would have picked them in a million years. Momentum. Isn’t it an interesting phenomena?’’

No matter how the series with Boston goes, it has been a good year for the Leafs.

And a pretty McCool one for Gloria Powell-Smith.

Downtown (Across from Sturdy Stone)

LS906036.E06 Liza

uestion: It is a great strategy to encourage high-density develop-ment and more of our population living in the city centre. With

increased population comes more vehicles and a shortage of parking spaces. What is being done to provide more parking spaces that are available to short-term users?

Mayor Atchison: On the high-density issue, there will have to be parking stalls required for the people living downtown. It could be under-ground parking down at the City Yards development. One proposed plan has parking underneath a park.

With more people living downtown the transit system becomes more efficient and there is not as great a need for vehicles. People will balance whether it is more financially wise to perhaps rent vehicles on weekends if they are going out of the downtown area. Is it more beneficial to use a cab and the transit system? Should I be partnering up with a friend in the down-town area to share a vehicle for trips? If you look at major centres, I don’t think you see every household with two and half vehicles. There certainly will be an increase in vehicles; no one can dispute that. People without vehicles may end up renting their space out. In one structure downtown, people rent their stalls because they don’t have a vehicle.

I agree there will be more vehicles, but it will be mitigated through these other initiatives.

Question: When can we expect technology advances in how we pay for parking that is fair to users of the space – not time we don’t use – and not a baiting system that promotes infractions and, consequently, more tickets being issued for violations?

Mayor Atchison: We have to change because the system we have today isn’t working. And the smart cards we have now are old technology. We need a 21st-century solution, like apps for smart phones, pay by cellphone, credit cards, debit cards. We’re looking at a whole range of new technology.

The question about refunding money that wasn’t used could also be included in

those technologies that we are looking at right now.

We are going to hold a special ex-ecutive committee meeting with the 10 potential providers who responded to our request for interest. We are going to allow each of the 10 proponents an opportu-nity to come forward to tell council what

they are capable of doing and what they would like to do. They will have to put down in writing exactly they are prepared to do for the city and what the prices are. Will the City continue to earn rev-enue from the system? That’s an important question, too. There are a whole host of options available – too many right now to be delving into all the details, but that will all work itself out over the next few months. I suspect within the next 18-24 months we should be under a new parking system.

Question: My friends and I are won-dering when another Costco will be built in Saskatoon. Do you know?

Mayor Atchison: We haven’t had any dealings with them yet, but I suspect they would want to have a second store in Sas-katoon. I mean look at our growth. At the current location, I am sure it is more than they can handle at this time. I guess you could say they are over capacity. I can’t speak for Costco, but as a businessperson looking from the outside in, if I was that busy wouldn’t I want to have another store on the other side of the river, too? I don’t know where it would be.

Question: What is going on at the cor-ner of McOrmond Drive and Highway 5?

Mayor Atchison: My daughter said to me the other day, “That’s where Costco is going.” I said, “It is? That’s news to me.’’ (laughs) There is a lot of work going on there. They are tunnelling for the new east sector plan – Holmwood. The biggest line going in is the storm water, the medium-sized pipe is sewage and the small one is water. The northeast and Holmwood together could be home to between 75,000 and 100,000 people. These are all new people moving in (as the city approaches 500,000 and 1.2 million people).

(If you have a question for Mayor Atchison, please email it to [email protected]. Please put “mayor’’ in the subject line.)

Another Costconot on the books — yet

Q

Noskye is not my real last name. If you’ve read stories I’ve writ-ten for the past 27 years, you’ll

notice the different variations of the name — Noskey, Noskiye, NoSky and my favourite: Nooski. My real last name is Kiyawasew.

It basically means “Shining Eagle” in the Cree language. The name is broken down into two parts. I’ll try and spell them out phonically. “Kehew” means “eagle” and “Was-soo” means “bright.” This is my mom and dad’s last name and the last name my grandfather used.

I’ve thought about changing my last name to Kiyawasew, but Noskye is hard enough to pronounce for some people. I think Noskye, or variations of it, is an awesome name for a writer. Besides, if I’m with a group of my Ukrainian, Austrian or Polish friends I be-come Noskiye. And, if I’m with my First Nations friends, then I become NoSky.

Have you ever wondered about the names of First Nations people? You may have noticed First Nations people have surnames that should be first names of many other people. It wasn’t long ago that all First Nations people had to be registered.

Ottawa sent an Indian agent to every reserve to register every man, woman and child. However, most of the First Nations people still used their “Indian names,” which changed at different phases of their lives.

The agent couldn’t pronounce the names, much less spell them. So he started using English names. Which is why to this day you will meet a person with a last name of George, as in Chief Dan George, for example. Names from the Bible were also used; Paul, David and Joseph are popular names in Northern Saskatchewan. Some of the Indian agents even started us-ing their family names. The one I get a kick out of is “No Name.’’ What happened there? Did the agent run out of names?

Most people of European descent can trace their family trees back centuries. This is not possible for First Nations people because an Indian agent was sent by Ottawa to a place he’s never been to pass out names. Some First Na-tions people were able to translate their names into English, which they still use. Some were given cool-sounding names: White Buffalo, Lone Wolf and Wolverine. My friend David Swinging-on-the-door didn’t fare so well.

Saskatoon-based registered nurses Cindy Leclerc and Jana Stockham have worked with local families and

their newborn babies for almost 20 years. Today, they’re looking to share those

years of education and experience with new parents in our city and beyond. The two women, both co-workers and close friends, have launched their NuuNest mo-bile phone app, revolutionizing the way new parents record and track their wee infant’s health-care information.

“We developed the NuuNest app because we kept hearing from parents that all the paper materials we were giv-ing out, often containing vital informa-tion about newborn baby care, were just not convenient,” says Leclerc. “Today everyone stores and records information digitally. Parents of newborns are no dif-ferent — they don’t want stacks of paper.”

Leclerc and Stockham have more than 30 years of combined experience, are International Board of Lactation con-sultants, and during the course of their careers have assisted more than 20,000 Saskatoon families with those newborn baby challenges.

“When we started researching online apps as a resource to share with our clients, we couldn’t find anything we felt com-fortable recommending,” says Stockham. “Parents didn’t know what information to trust and, at that time, neither did we. So, we decided to create our own tool for new

parents, based on our own education and experience.”

The NuuNest app records, tracks and provides information for new parents regarding their newborn, while providing expert advice from trusted, reliable online sources that Leclerc and Stockham have approved. Just a few features include feed and diaper tracking, breast-milk expres-sions and weight management.

“It’s just full of information, and such a great way for families to have all the health information on their baby in one place,” Leclerc said. Inputting your new-born’s birth date into the NuuNest app will automatically generate daily health-care tips and advice based on the child’s age, as well as daily and weekly data summa-ries based on the information recorded by parents.

Leclerc and Stockham worked with Sas-katoon-based app developer CollegeMobile and Ontario’s Hustle & Bustle Graphic De-sign to create the app, combining their years of experience and education as registered nurses with links to trusted online resources for the ultimate tool for tech-savvy parents.

“The app’s focus is on that first crucial month of your baby’s life,” Stockham said. “There’s also an All About Mom section, which guides mom through her recovery after childbirth.”

The Apple-compatible app is $4.99 and available through the Apple app store. It is capable of syncing with multiple devices — parents, grandparents and even the babysitter are kept up-to-date on what’s happening with baby.

NuuNest is already grabbing the atten-tion of professionals. Last week, Stockham presented the app to the Saskatchewan Nursing Convention at TCU Place, and in June will be travelling to Ottawa to present information on the tool to the Canadian Public Health Association.

The NuuNest app will be officially launched at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, at Saskatoon’s K.W. Nasser Centre.

For more information or to purchase the app, find the links you need at www.cindyandjana.com.

SASKATOON

EXPRESS

Our provincial population has hovered around one million people for the last 75 years or more. For

Saskatoon to project a city population of 1.2 million 75 years down the road would mean our provincial population must dou-ble with the full concentration of growth being in Saskatoon. But I have absolutely no idea how these projections come to be.

Obviously, the City is going to have to jointly plan with its regional neighbours for not only its expansion, but shared costs of all necessary infrastructures to service the overall pro-jected regional growth. Thus, it is truly regrettable that our council’s high-handed approach to Corman Park has created a hostile environment before the annexation negotiations start.

It was nothing short of audacious for our city to ask Corman Park, and perhaps oth-ers, to freeze development in their jurisdiction for up to two years, while Saskatoon plans its growth needs. The quid pro quo would be the City agreeing to a moratorium on our development for the same period of time. But it won’t. And one jurisdiction should not be asked to stand completely still while another milks it for all it’s worth.

And attempting to curb development and population growth in Corman Park, coming on the heels of Mayor Don Atchi-son’s argument for the lion’s share of the provincial revenue-sharing pool because of our greater population base, makes the request offensive.

Last year, our city council hired urban planning consultants from afar with the goal to grow the City up, not out. The theme was density over sprawl. Appar-ently it is density and sprawl. While the City planned for density, local developers cautioned that the result curbing sprawl will only serve to have people move to the bedroom communities when the time comes for home ownership. They are right, perhaps for a variety of reasons.

When the negotiations begin, will the participating parties consider the wants and needs of its citizens?

Not everyone in this city, or the sur-rounding bedroom communities, wants to be part of Saskatoon’s big city plan. It is probably one of several reasons that Warman and Martensville, along with more distant communities, have expanded as quickly as they did. And living in a bedroom community means you have easy access to the city and its amenities, without the inherent problems and costs that may come with life in the concrete jungle.

Is the rapid increase in housing costs

and taxes in Saskatoon another reason people look to locate outside the city? For many of today’s young families, the goal of home ownership in Saskatoon has sur-passed their reach. The further out you go, the better deal you get. And whether true or not, there are people who feel a smaller community is a better place to raise chil-dren and offers a superior quality of life.

As long as there are new families and available land, urban sprawl will one-up any density plan. Living in a condo or an

apartment in a downtown en-vironment with a vibrant night life is great before babies come along. The advent of a family brings thoughts of a backyard in a quiet neighbourhood, with schools, parks and other young families. The dream for today’s families is the same as it was for generations past — a patch of land and a white picket fence to call their own. Do these new homeowners really care wheth-er they pay taxes to Saskatoon

rather than to a bedroom community? Driving into Saskatoon from Warman,

Martensville, Osler, Delisle, Dundurn, or even Hanley, using a double-lane divided highway is not that difficult or time con-suming, and people can carpool. Given the road conditions and poor traffic flow in the city, it probably doesn’t add a lot of time onto their day and, with a perimetre high-way, it is probably faster to drive in from Dundurn than to drive across the city.

Will Martensville and Warman be given a one- or two-mile buffer zone to meet their growing needs? Or does Saskatoon just intend to gobble them up?

Every large city is surrounded by bedroom communities. No matter how much land the city annexes today, it will never be enough to provide for the growth it dreams of. All larger cities have com-mercial development outside their limits. Outside of Calgary, the Cross Iron Mills was built “halfway to the town of Airdrie” and it is thriving. And from earlier an-nouncements, a giant mall is in the making at Dundurn and the residents of that town are happy and excited at the prospect and the prosperity this development will bring to their small town community.

Annexation of land means the city must pay the municipality compensation for its lost tax base. Coun. Pat Lorje, a mem-ber on the district planning committee, believes the City should also be buying the land from existing property owners, stat-ing annexation alone it is unfair to these property owners as their land is basically frozen and owners can’t do anything with it, will receive no services, and yet pay city

taxes on it. She doesn’t indicate were the purchase and compensa-tion money will come from.

I don’t think Lorje should worry about this. Now that Mayor Atchison has announced that the City will grow north, I expect property values north of the city will sky-rocket — unless, of course, the land is already owned or optioned by Saskatoon devel-opers and/or builders.

Allowing property owners in Corman Park to subdivide a quar-ter section of land into five acre-ages increases their tax base and population. It allows families to share the land with their clan. Both will serve to help the RM improve and enhance its alterna-tive lifestyle and infrastructure. If the city does expand that far out during the next several de-cades, developers will buy those acreages and build at that time.

Reeve Judy Harwood and her council were elected by the residents of the Rural Munici-pality of Corman Park and have

a fiduciary duty to their electors. Allowing their constituents to be hamstrung by a neighbouring jurisdiction negates the will of the voting public in Corman Park.

The big question is, should we and our regional neighbours have confidence in our current civic government to plan a city for 50 to 75 years hence, with a projected population of 1.2 million, when this same government has difficulty servicing our city of today with a population one-fifth of the projected size? Perhaps it is our cratered roads, reminiscent of the moon surface, that has sent coun-cil into the twilight zone.

Chase Samuel, a 19-year-old Univer-sity of Saskatchewan student, has learned about “resilience and going

about life in a positive way” from his experience with Camp fYrefly Saskatchewan.

The camp, now in its fifth year in Saskatchewan, is de-signed to help teach life skills to gay/lesbian/sexual minority youth. This year’s sessions will take place from Aug. 15-18 in a Saskatoon location alongside the South Saskatchewan River.

The camp has four main themes — creating community, empowering youth, learning and leadership, and personal development — and there are educators, artists, musicians, business professionals, police officers, writers and other community volunteers who conduct the workshops. Kate Reid, a musician-songwriter, will be the artist-in-residence.

“I went to Camp fYrefly in 2011 and did it ever change my life,” says Samuel. “I learned that being gay is OK. I gained new

friends and a lot of self-confidence.“When I was 16 years old, and just com-

ing out, it went surprisingly well with my family and some of my friends, and I wasn’t sure I needed some-thing like a summer camp.

“But I went to the fYrefly web-site and was reinforced by their mission statement. The camp does focus on building and nurturing leader potential and personal resil-iency to help us make significant contributions,” he says.

“The environment was like a comfort zone. It promoted interac-tion. We found out we’re not alone. We have skills. After camp, I was much more confident in who

I am. I found out I had more support among friends than I realized. “

There is a registration fee of $25, making the camp accessible to all. The other costs are covered, as well as some travel bursaries.

“The impact that the donors make to the camp is priceless,” says Samuel.

His mother, Dawn, talked about how Chase, one of three children in the family,

went through a quiet period, then a little bit of aggression. But when he revealed himself, “it explained a lot. He is now comfortable with himself, his family and he is his own person.”

“The camp,” says his mother, “has given him the skills and it is an incredible and vibrant opportunity to show its participants as the fine human beings that they are.”

Herb McFaull, one of the co-founders of the Saskatchewan camp, says “being a teen-ager is tough enough, but it is even harder when a young person is grappling with their sexual identity. I wish I had a camp like this to go to when I was their age. It would have made a world of difference.”

He sees the camp as a way of “combat-ting the shocking and sad statistics that face the sexual minority. There’s the bullying, the alcohol and drug abuse, the high rates of sui-cide. We have to create a safe environment where it is OK to be gay, OK to be different, and the camps allow them to find out they’re not alone. Young people come out of there knowing that life gets better.”

Anthony Bidulka, the other co-founder in Saskatchewan, says “Herb and I went to a

camp at the University of Alberta, liked what we saw, but we realized there were too many Saskatchewan youth on the waiting list. We wanted to do something about that. This will be our fifth in Saskatchewan, alternating between Regina and Saskatoon.

“I think being gay is much more common than people believe, and that’s going back to 20 years ago, maybe 70 years ago.

“Today people feel freer and are willing to come out. When I was young, I never saw gay people on TV. What we see now and what the social media has done really helps. After the young men and women have gone to camp, they now have a social media where they can stay in touch with each other.”

Bidulka also hailed the work of Kobie Spriggs, who is the camp coordinator for a second straight year.

“The needs of the campers are great and they’re diverse. She has a lot of organiza-tional skills and a deep understanding of those in the camp. With her understanding and an ability to find the comfort zone, she’s been a natural,” says Bidulka.

White Birch Ballet Blastset for May 11

White Birch Ballet will be presenting its season finale — Ballet Blast

— at the La Troupe du Jour’s performance venue on May 11.

“This is an evening of celebra-tion of dance in our city,” White Birch Ballet founding artistic director Darlene Williams said in a news release. “Ballet Blast will not only give a blast of ballet, but also a blast of amazing dance and music.’’

White Birch Ballet will be performing excerpts from Josh Beamish’s recent premiere Flutter in the Dovecote. “Leading dancer Angel Jutzi is absolutely stunning in this ballet,” Williams said. “She performs the challenging pointe

work fluidly, while incorporating a gorgeous long royal blue train. Just a brilliant piece of art.”

Ballet Blast is an evening of ballet, dance, gourmet food and wine. A silent auction will be held to help raise funds for the company. There will also be enter-tainment by Saskatoon’s Andrew Bennet, Keaton Leier, Kennedy Elder, Kyle Syverson and Karla Dalnoki.

La Troupe du Jour’s perfor-mance venue is at 914 20th Street West. Blast Ballet starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $35 and are available at McNally Robinson Booksellers.

Football dynamo Michael (Pinball) Clemons quickly connected with the audience

by saying, “One of the first things I need to do is acknowledge the elephant in the room.” Pausing for effect, he exclaimed, “Rider Pride!”

I was among the 1,600 attending the recent Saskatoon Prayer Breakfast — formerly known as the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast — where Pinball was the key-note speaker.

FINANCIAL ELEPHANT IN MY COLUMN

Similarly, the first thing I need to do is acknowledge the finan-cial elephant in my col-umn, because recently gold and silver took a strong hit to the downside. And one of my con-sistent themes is the use of precious metals for portfolio diversification, inflation protection and outright investment opportunity.

ADVERSITY IS GUARAN-TEED

In his talk, Pinball emphasized the need to “run towards adversity” – not away from it. “Adversity in life is guaranteed,’’ he said. “You choose how you’re going to deal with it. Most people run away from adversity.”

I remember back in 2004, watch-ing gold drop from about $430 to $375, while silver went from above $8 to about $5.50. And, in 2008, gold dropped from $1,000 to $700, while silver slid from almost $21

to $9. The recent drop in April took gold from $1,600 to about $1,350, while silver slumped from about $28 to $23. Those were adverse mo-ments, but notice the price pullbacks have been occurring from higher and higher levels.

As I see it, nothing’s fundamen-tally changed. Precious metals ownership remains imperative in today’s day and age. And, to date, the vast majority of investors still don’t own a single ounce of it — far from bubble territory. But I get that it’s tough to do some-thing that others are not. It feels safer to do what everyone else is doing or, in this case, isn’t doing.

RUN TOWARDS ADVERSITY

Financial, economic and stock market events of the last 12 years — especially the last five — are the very definition of adversity.

I don’t think stocks are neces-sarily out of the woods. Interest rates intentionally squashed down to near zero, punishing savers and exposing fixed-income investors to higher risks when rates do rise in the future. Debt ceilings, deposit taxes, monster money printing, behe-moth bailouts — the giant global economic crisis continues to stomp around in defiance.

So should investors cower, plug their ears, and run away from this adversity? Given Pinball’s small size, should he have played it safe and avoided football? Should David have run away from Goliath?

DEREK SHEvKENEK

Finance

Elephants in rooms and portfoliosAdversity always presents oppor-

tunity if you face it, but not without risks. I guess you have to weigh the risk of running away against the risk of facing things. I see the precious metals price drop in this context as an opportunity – a valuable golden stone in the sling of any brave soul that would chose to run towards the giant. (Yeah, I grew up going to Sunday school.)

ANNE LETAINColumnist

If you are a fan of the television program (any version) “Who Do You Think You Are?” you’ll recall that there’s usually

a shock-and-awe moment where the celeb-rity seeking his or her roots receives some surprising news about his or her ancestors. There are often tears and, sometimes, even glee —such as when Boris Johnson, the thatch-headed, bicycle-riding Lord Mayor of London discovered he was directly related to most of the royal families of Europe through his mother.

While I’ve definitely found out that I’m not related to royalty, one of my relatives does bear a dubious and quite unique distinc-tion.

Her name was Mary Ford and there’s no need to change it, as it’s a name as common as John Smith.Mary was my great-great-aunt and her claim to fame is that she was one of the first women in England to be sentenced to time served in an “Inebriate Reformatory” for chronic drunkenness.

Late Victorian England was a hot bed of social re-form and the good ladies of the upper classes and places like Downton Abbey took it upon themselves to improve the lot of these poor ladies who had problems with drinking and disorderly behaviour.

In 1899, these ladies managed to convince Parliament that these destitute women could be helped by sending them to sanatoria-like institutions to dry out and to recognize the evils of their wayward lifestyle. Parliament passed a bill and three of these establish-ments were constructed — one near London, one in the Midlands and one in the northern part of England. To pay for the rehabilita-tion, the do-gooding ladies petitioned local authorities for subsidies to pay for the stays of these unfortunate women. Thus, a woman who was sentenced in Holbeck, Leeds, to the

Midland institution would be sponsored by the Holbeck Local Council.

The reformatories were model institutions — they had gardens and chapels and dairies and recreation and dining rooms. The in-mates received a kind of uniform to wear and were trained in domestic trades. Sentences were usually from one to three years.

Yet, in the end, these reformatories were a rather spectacular failure as authorities could not fathom or account for the high level of recidivism on the part of the inmates. No sooner were the women released from the institutions than they were back to their old bad habits and returning. In 1921, after close to 22 years of operation, the reformatories

were permanently closed.My great-great-aunt Mary Ford was

born at home at 18 Lee’s Square in North Leeds in 1870, the second-oldest child in a family of six boys and two girls, of whom only two lived beyond 1923. Lee’s Square was part of the Irish ghetto in Leeds and the family lived there for a couple of decades. Lee’s Square was eventually deemed “unhealthy” by the City of Leeds and subsequently razed in a slum clearance program.

By 1891, Mary had married and was the parent of another Mary. By 1901, when she was an inmate of the “St. Joseph’s Inebriate Reformatory for Catholic Women,” she had had at least four more children who had been left behind with their father in a three-room tenement in Holbeck, an indus-trial area of South Leeds. By 1911, Mary had been back in Leeds for some time and she and her husband were maintaining separate residences, although they’d managed to have a couple more children together. Roughly, the older children were with him and the younger ones were with Mary. Why they were apart was likely economic, or perhaps not. Neither could agree on the number of children born to them — he said 13, she said 12, but they did agree that there were seven alive in 1911.

Great-great-aunt made history in England Where to go on a first date

Mary was a working mother before the term was invented. She was one of many in the family who was employed as a rag sorter — a horrible occupation that involved sorting the cloth that was eventually treated to become the “rag” in paper. Many rag sorters succumbed to various sorts of pulmonary diseases from habitually inhaling cloth dust — not unlike asbestosis.

Whether Mary returned to the bottle we’ll never know, but it seems apparent to me that she’d have every reason to do so. St. Joseph’s Reformatory must have seemed like a wee bit of heaven on Earth with clean clothes and regular meals and a garden for relaxation and therapy. It’s absolutely no wonder that the women were wont to reoffend if their lives had the same kind of trajectory as that of my Aunt Mary, who most certainly did not reach a pros-perous old age. She died at 53 in much the same circumstances as she arrived in the world — poor and living in a slum.

My brother-in-law is an arbitrator between landlords and tenants in B.C., and sometimes he shares some of the bizarre situations he encounters in his hearings. He’ll shake his head and say, “You can’t make this stuff up!” I guess I can say the same about some of my forbears — after all, Aunt Mary was a member of a pretty select group. Only 907 women were ever sentenced to time in an Inebriate Reforma-tory in England.

Mary’s life was certainly no Downton Abbey, either upstairs or downstairs. It was merely a Downton Abyss.

We are so fortunate.

Dear Lianne,Do you have any recommenda-

tions for a sure-fire first date? I have tried a lot of different places, but none seem to lead to a second date. — Mike

Dear Mike,I am a huge fan of doing a fun activity

on your first date. I often suggest mini-golf, bowling or a game of pool. This allows you to have a distrac-tion to lessen the intensity. In addi-tion, it allows you to have fun. I am not a fan of dinner, drinks or coffee dates, as they are often an interroga-tion and uncom-fortable. After your first date, if you can say three nice things about the person, then go out again. People need to allow a friendship to be established first and then the magic to evolve in time.

This method of preparing cauliflower is very simple and extremely delicious. Once you’ve tasted roasted cauliflower, you will never go back to steaming and boiling. Roasting keeps the florets from getting mushy. They soften lightly, but still retain a little crunch and have a wonderful nutty flavour. If you have never had roasted cauliflower, try it tonight.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND GARLIC

2 tablespoons garlic, minced3 tablespoons canola oil

1 large head cauliflower, sepa-rated into florets

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, gratedSalt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat the oven to 400F. Grease a large casserole dish.

Place the oil and garlic in a large bowl or plastic bag. Add cauliflower,

and stir or shake to coat. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. Bake

for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Top with cheese, salt, pepper

and parsley, and broil for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown.

Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education. — Mark Twain

(Works great with broccoli too.)

TAMMY ROBERTColumnist

Alvin Law knows he can come across as insensitive to people with disabili-ties. A bit ironic, given that he was

born without arms. Hence, he was the first person I thought of after reading headlines last week about the Saskatoon Police Service handing out a seatbelt ticket to a man without arms either.

Steve Simonar’s arms were amputated following a boating accident 28 years ago. That didn’t stop him though. Today, the 55-year-old father and grandfather is a successful roofing con-tractor. He drives himself around in a half-ton truck which he has modified with a floor-mounted steering wheel that he operates with his left foot.

In accordance with a law that came into effect in 2000, Simonar requires an SGI-issued medical exemption to get away with not wearing his seatbelt without receiving a ticket. However, Simonar didn’t have the ex-emption — in fact, he claimed he didn’t even know he needed one. So, a seatbelt ticket is exactly what he received last week.

Simonar wasn’t happy, demanding an apology from the police officer that issued the ticket, and who Simonar described as “arrogant and ignorant.” Simonar didn’t get an apology, and emerged even angrier from the meeting the Saskatoon police set up to discuss his situation.

Let’s be clear here. By not applying for and receiving the SGI-issued medical exemp-tion, Simonar has been breaking the law for 12 years. The fact that other police officers have allegedly seen fit to let him off is irrel-evant. Simonar finally came across an officer who saw past the disability, and held him to the letter of the law.

Saw past the disability, isn’t that a good thing? I guess not, particularly when it costs one $175.

Back to Alvin Law. I contacted him at his home in Alberta, where he and his wife had been following the story closely. Law, who drives with his feet and doesn’t wear a seatbelt, but has his medical exemption, had absolutely no sympathy for Simonar.

“On this one, I support Saskatoon law enforcement completely,” said Law, who indicated that even though he has a medical exemption centrally recorded on his digital driver’s license, he still carries the paperwork on him when he’s in his vehicle.

“If any person with a physical disability wants an equal amount of input into this world, they cannot also require this world treat them differently,” said Law, who per-sonally absconds the word “handicapped’’

from his vocabulary. While acknowledging that his experience

is somewhat different than Simonar, given that Law never had arms to begin with, he still questions the attitude behind the cir-cumstances that led to the story making local

and national headlines. “If Steve can’t cope with local laws and regulations, then perhaps he needs to re-evaluate his position,” said Law.

We also marvelled at the societal response to the story, which Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill acknowl-edged was highly charged “emo-tionally.” Immediately and without question, the majority of the general public accepted Simonar’s word as gospel, including really quite damag-ing statements about the attitude of the police officer and the Saskatoon Police Service in general.

On the John Gormley radio show, the word “discrimination” was being thrown around quite liberally. Simonar, until days earlier, was a complete unknown, while the Saskatoon Police Service, has been serv-ing and protecting our city honourably for decades. Why were we so quick to believe one over the other?

Are we being sympathetic, or patroniz-ing? I asked Law.

I’m going to let you mull over that ques-tion on your own.

I am beyond sympathetic to Simonar’s plight as a double amputee. I am quite fond of my arms, and cannot fathom waking up one day without them. I admire him greatly for not just surviving, but thriving, in the wake of his accident.

I have zero sympathy for Simonar on the matter of the ticket. If he can drive like the rest of us, he can obey the laws like the rest of it.” And according to those laws, he should have had a medical exemption sorted out a decade ago. The fact, he claims he was unaware of the legal requirement, but complains of the police officer’s ignorance is also a bit ironic, no? No, this isn’t about whether or not he should wear a seatbelt. This is about being aware of the rules of the road and obeying them.

Alvin Law acknowledges he was once bitter about his situation, but today, he insists he goes out of his way to ensure that he does everything humanly possible to function independently within “the system,” as he refers to it. Why? In order to never, ever run into a situation where he, deliberately or otherwise, is forced to rely on his perceived disability to garner special treatment or sympathy.

“Driving is probably one of the most fascinating parts of my world,” said Law. “Like everyone else, I consider it a privilege, not a right.”

Dear Reena,Red candle dripped on my 40-year-old white linen table-

cloth and stuck to the table pad under-neath. What can I do to remove the wax without leaving any redness? — Jeannette

Dear Jeannette,Some messes are more

difficult to clean than others. White wax is easy to clean but coloured wax is tricky. Smear the area with Head and Shoulders dandruff shampoo before freezing. After the fabric is frozen, use a plastic putty knife to scrape away the wax. Next, spray the area with fabric spot remover before washing (according to the directions). If the stain remains, pour three per cent hy-drogen peroxide on the area and sprinkle it with cream of tartar. Leave in the sun for a day and rewash. Repeat until stain is gone. Or use RIT dye remover, ac-cording to the directions on the box, to whiten the tablecloth.

Dear Reena,I read your column every time it

is published and I, being a practical person, find your solutions and remedies very knowledgeable to read and pass on. I would like to know where to purchase your books. Secondly, can you tell me how to get barn smell out of coveralls? I have tried washing them in cold water, soap and salt (and vinegar). I never put

them in the dryer, but instead hang them on the line.

— Samantha

Dear Samantha,My remedy for zapping foul

odours from fabrics is washing with soda and hot water. It is true that cold water is a smart choice for laundry. However, for tough smells and stains, nothing beats the added power of heat. Hot water adds to the cleaning power without the addition of extra detergents or chemicals. Using hot water once in a while also keeps the washing machine interior clean and reduces build-up of mould, mildew and odour. For tough smells and stains, boil

machine washable fabrics in a stain-less steel pot on the stove with water and washing soda. My three books are difficult to find in stores, but they can be ordered online or by calling 204 320 2757.

Feedback from Caring Readers

Hello Reena,We had the exact same problem as

your reader with rust in the dishwasher on the tips of the rack. My husband cut the rusted tips off of the baskets and scraped them. He then used the dish-washer rack repair solution and applied new caps. My friend suggested a prod-uct called Glisten to remove the interior rust. Glisten did a magnificent job. Hope

you give it a try. — Janice Dear Reena,In one of your articles a woman want-

ed to know how to remove rust stains from Corelle dinnerware. All I do is rub a damp Mr. Clean Magic Eraser onto the spot, rinse and it’s gone. — Anna

Fabulous Tips of the WeekDust your hands lightly with baby

powder or flour before putting on rubber or latex gloves. This will help remove

the gloves easily without having to take them off inside out.

Before bathing your dog in the bathtub, place a nylon or steel wool pot scrubber in the drain to catch the dog hair. This prevents dog hair buildup in the drain and pipes.

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 check out my website at reena.ca.

Help! My coveralls smell like a barn


JW10766.E06James

Courtney BowmanSaskatoon Express

Walking down a back alley on the west side of Broadway Avenue, I can’t help but feel

like I’m making my way to a secret rave or some other kind of covert gathering.

I knock on a grey steel door spray-painted with the likeness of Bill Mur-ray. Hairstylist Laura Jones greets me warmly and leads me down the base-ment steps of Crimper’s Hair Salon.

Laura’s passion for fashion, and especially for the beauty of vintage craftsmanship, inspired her to open Jonzi’s Vintage Collection in the lower floor of Crimper’s last summer, where she has also been practising as a

hairstylist for the past two years of her 22-year career.

Laura’s unusually large selection of men’s wear sets her apart from most other vintage retailers, though she carries items for both genders from decades through the 1950s to 1980s.

The uniqueness of vintage clothing makes stores like these a popular des-tination for shoppers seeking one-of-a-kind items.

While vintage pieces can be worn head-to-toe for a distinct look — usu-ally from one era at a time, such as the 1950s — they can also be integrated with contemporary pieces for a modern take on yesteryear’s trends. For ex-ample, my spelunking at Jonzi’s led me to a 1970s multi-coloured plaid acetate

maxi skirt (shown in photo), which I paired with a mint silk sleeveless blouse, cognac-coloured leather belt, and a black three-quarter sleeve blazer, all of which were already in my closet.

Jonzi’s Vintage Collection is open in the basement of Crimper’s Hair Salon on Monday and Tuesday from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., and accepts payment in the form of Visa, MasterCard and debit. Laura is currently accepting items for consignment from the 1970s and earlier.

The May long weekend – a time when people traditionally plant their gardens and flower beds - is fast ap-

proaching. And although this late spring might be making your nervous,” Leslie Van Duyvendyk from Dutch Growers says “re-lax, there is still lots of time” for the snow to melt and for the ground to warm up.

Van Duyvendyk has some tips for how to prepare for the gardening season while you wait for Victoria Day. First of all, she suggests attending to your lawn mower. “Make sure its oil levels are up, that the motor does not need maintenance, and that the blades are sharp.” You can also pick up the garbage that is revealed as the snow melts from your yard and garden. Snow mould is another issue in spring, and Van Duyvendyk says the best way to deal with that is to just give your lawn a light raking with a fan rake.

When it does come time to plant, Van Duyvendyk urges you to “wait until your soil is completely dry before working it. If you can grab a fistful of it and squeeze, and water comes out, it is too wet. You want soil that is cakey and falls apart in your hand. That’s how you know it is ready.” When choosing plants, make sure to “look closely at how many days it needs to mature, and think about that in relation to our growing season.” Saskatoon is in Growing Zone 2B, so look for plants that have been proven to do well in this zone.

Container gardening is one of the big trends Van Duyvendyk is seeing for 2013,

as they are easier to manage and come with the added bonus of being able to move your garden to a better spot, if need be. Van Duyvendyk cautions against us-ing a container that is too small, as their soil will dry out faster. “Fourteen inches is probably about as small as you want to go. After that, 16 to 20 inch containers are popular, but really, the sky is the limit.” Van Duyvendyk says that “fairy garden-ing” is also popular, and a good way to get your kids interested. “You can buy small accessories to put in your pots, like a little chair and table, something fairy sized. This is something we will be seeing a lot of this year.” And while Van Duyvendyk says the trend of turning entire front yards into gardens is not popular in Saskatoon at the moment, she says that what is growing is the number of people “who are concerned where their food comes from. They are planting gardens with the intentions of be-ing in more control of what they eat.”

Van Duyvendyk says that gardening is best regarded as an ongoing task. “You don’t want to just put your seeds in the soil and hope for the best. You need to be observant. You should take pictures, and keep a diary as to what grows best where. Get to know which parts of your yard make for happier plants. Try new things. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice. There are a lot of good gardening resources in our area.” Above all, Van Duyvendyk adds, “look at gardening as an adventure. It is fun!”

Look at gardening as an adventure

Doug Henderson, the head grower at Cory-Parke Greenhouse, has had a bird’s eye view of the evo-

lution of gardening.As the size of lots decrease, and with

people moving into condos, container gar-dening has never been more popular and practical, he said.

“Ground containers are definatley a big trend with new people now,” Doug said. Not that ground beds are extinct, it’s just not like it used to be. Time is a big factor in our busy lives maintaining your containers takes up very little of that.

Even today, when you look at the de-velopments around us (Stonebridge), the room just isn’t there in some yards to have large flowers beds or gardens. Patios can also take up a lot of yard. It isn’t uncom-men, even with landscaped yards, to place containers on the ground. Mixing them in with shrubs has become quite commen as well. Containers can sure make your home look welcoming on a front step.

Doug says there are some basics for buy-ing and planting in containers.

“You have to know what you are grow-ing. You have to match up the container size to the product you are growing.’’

Make sure all your plants have similar requirments like watering, and how much sun or shade they need. Your tags will always indicate where your plants will do best.

“If you are intermixing upright plants and trailing plants in the same container, you can have more plants in it because they are not competing for the same space. If you have all upright plants— big bushy plants – you can’t overplant.

“There has been a lot of improvement in colour choices and plant habits, so the ge-netics have changed a lot -- it’s indescrib-

able. You couldn’t cover all the variation.’’He said there are noticeable changes

in the habits of foliage plants and trailing plants, especially in colour choices. He said flower size and colour selection have improved drastically.

He said petunias are still very popu-lar amongst gardeners. They are a strong performers, but they aren’t your ony choice any more.

“That is never going to change,’’ he said, noting the evolution even in the popular flower.

“There are compact trailing habits, long trailing habits, along with changes in the flower size. They can be very tiny, so you get more flowers or a long trailing plant.’’

He says the flower size and colour selec-tion is almost unlimited at the greenhouse. “We can help you find the right plant choices for your container.”

“You can’t ever recommend one thing. There is such a multitude of plants to choose from. It’s the same way with foliage plants, because we mix a lot of flowering and foliage. It is not just petunias anymore. It is endless what you can do with a con-tainer now.’’

Container gardening is easy and less work to maintain than a flower bed. you buy the plants, plant them up, and sit back with your favorite summer beverage and enjoy!

With the late spring, he said it is going to be a hectic few weeks. He recommends not becoming too concerned because most people still plant on the May long week-end. He said buying habits have changed, with people spreading out their buying and planting over a longer period.

With the spring finally here, thoughts are turning to lawns and gardening in Saskatoon.

Early’s Farm and Garden Centre is a go-to location for those with a green thumb eager to begin beautifying their lawns, creating vegetable gardens and planting a variety of flowers. A number of experts and horticulturists are on staff at both Early’s locations to help you out, according to Early’s purchas-ing manager Derek Bloski.

“We’re open to any questions or en-quiries,” Derek said. “We have the best selection of garden seed in the prov-ince by far, and that’s a genuine claim and most definitely our specialty.”

With a late spring in the Prairies, setbacks are an unavoidable part of the planting and gardening process. It is still too early to start seeding a lawn, according to Bloski, but there are other options, both indoors and outdoors.

“A lot of people have done a lot of indoor gardening this year. They have started their tomatoes and peppers, and those can be started early in April depending on what kind of jump you want,” he said. “As far as flowers go, some people will start their geraniums in January, as soon as the calendar turns. They do a lot of preparation for them and get them into action early. Flowers are all over the map. There are plants you direct seed in the spring and summer, and there are plants you need three months to get established.”

When the time comes to turn the

attention toward lawns, Derek says the best bet is to wait until the ground is completely thawed and the soil retains heat.

“That’s a little bit of a thing we have to curb customers from sometimes. Generally, they want to get started as soon as the snow melts, and that’s a bit early,” he said. “The ground needs to warm a little bit on its own. Typically if it’s a new area, say you’ve bought a new house and you want to seed your lawn, ideally I wouldn’t seed until you start seeing weeds growing in the spring. Generally, they will start grow-ing once the soil is warm enough to do something.

“Once the weeds grow, you can remove them and start packing. Then, ideally, you’ll broadcast the seed with a broadcast spreader. Then, you lightly cover it by working it into the soil by raking it. Some people will just pack it again. Once that’s done, cover it with a light of top soil or peat moss. Water often and for short periods of time until you get germination. “

With typical growing conditions in Saskatchewan, a lawn will germinate in about 10-14 days. Within four to six weeks, the lawn will be ready to cut.

Early’s provides all the material needed to seed a new lawn.

Another trend that Derek says has grown in the last five years is vegetable gardening. This means that the garden-er can have control over what they eat, where it’s grown and how it’s grown.

“There is a real movement of people wanting to control their own food source. Planting more vegetables, hav-ing bigger garden spaces and intro-ducing community gardens,” he said. “People like the freshness and they want to know what they are eating. That’s a real trend, and as it moves on, people are looking more into things like heritage seed or non-GMO or

organic gardening methods.” Early’s is open Monday to Friday

from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sun-day from noon to five. Their head office and main location is at 2615 Lorne Avenue. The second location is at 502 – 51st Street East. For more informa-tion, you can visit its website at www.earlysgarden.com.

Most of you are just like me, itching to get outside and play golf! With the season only days away, now is a great time to start preparing.

A number of topics come to mind in preparation for those first few trips to the range and that all important first round. I have narrowed it down to what I feel are three of the most important aspects to focus on, even before the first shot.

Flexibility could be the most important swing component you can work on early in the season. The golf swing makes use of a variety of muscles and joints, and good flexibility ensures that those muscles and joints can all move fluently, without negatively affecting the swing. Often, the shoulders, lower back and hamstrings are areas that feel tight and lack flexibility after our long winters. Taking care of these areas is not only essential for your golf swing, but can prevent injury in your daily routine as well.

Next, I recommend reviewing one of the basic fundamentals of the golf swing, the grip. Most golfers do themselves a disservice by not learning and establishing a sound grip prior to playing or practicing. If your grip is poor, it can lead to poor ball position and bad posture at set up. On the lesson tee or on the range, it is very common to see golfers wanting to fast-forward their practice and expect a grip change to be a quick-fix. Golfers often lose patience, move their grip back to a less desirable (but more comfortable) position and develop flaws later in the motion. The result is inconsistency. The longer you play and practice without fixing the root of the problem, the harder it is and longer it takes to change. It simply takes atten-tion, time and repetition to get to the point of comfort where results will be seen.

Finally, let’s have a look at those clubs. Of course, new clubs are always nice to have early in the year, but if you like what is in your bag, pay particular attention to your grips. Ask yourself the last time they were changed and look at their appearance. Worn grips reduce the traction between your hands and the club. This results in having to tighten your hold on the club. Grips are relatively easy for a trained person to change, and in comparison to purchasing new clubs, are inexpensive. The right grip can have an enormous impact on your ability to lower your score this year.

Whether it is having a look at your swing or your equipment, a PGA of Canada Professional is just the person to help you evaluate these three areas integral to golf success and enjoyment as the season begins. Lessons can be booked by calling one of our PGA of Canada Professionals directly through The Willows Golf & Country Club golf shop at 306-956-GOLF. See you on the course!

The rewards from Kevin Tobin’s talent searches are about to unfold for the 27th annual SaskTel Saskatchewan

Jazz Festival.The negotiations have ended and the

contracts are in place for the artists that will deliver 157 performances at an assortment of Saskatoon venues from June 21 to July 1. There will be nine concerts at the TD Mainstage in the Bessborough Gardens, six at the Broadway Theatre, 11, plus the late-night jams, at The Bassment, six at Amigos, anywhere from two to five shows a day at the outdoor stage, and even a cruise down the South Saskatchewan River on the Prairie Lily Riverboat on eight occasions.

Herbie Hancock, a pianist and a true icon of modern music, was high on every-one’s wish list among Western Canadian promoters this year.

“We knew he wanted to play in the West again, and that was good news for all of our festivals,’’ Tobin said. “As a group of promoters, we usually meet in November, listen to a lot of agents, determine availabil-ities and then form our shopping lists. Then we begin the negotiations with the agents.

“Herbie last played the festival in 2008, and we all have fond memories. He likes to tell the story about the customers putting their beer cans on the edge of our main stage, something he’d had never encoun-tered at festivals before.”

Hancock insists that his own Fazioli piano be shipped to Saskatoon for this festival.

Also key in the booking process is find-

ing the right act for opening night.“Colin James was our choice. He’s a

Saskatchewan original, a guitarist-vocalist newly elected into the Canadian music industry’s Hall of Fame, and he has a new release, Twenty Five Live. He has always put on great shows for us.”

There is some luck involved in the recruiting process.

Tobin had Metric on his list for a cou-ple of years and signed them this winter, along with Serena Ryder, for Bessborough appearances before the two acts won Juno awards at Regina’s gala party in April. On the Bessborough lineup are James on June 21, Metric on June 22, Ziggy Marley on June 23, Ryder on June 24, Hancock on June 26, City and Colour on June 27, Dr. John on June 28, Jimmie Vaughan on June 29 and Michael Franti on June 30.

“First and foremost, we are a jazz festi-val, but as we assemble a lineup of artists, we are conscious of diversity in music, the potential for financial success, the geo-graphical partnerships, the new products available and we want high production values on all our stages.

“For a handful of years, we’ve been wanting to have Aretha Franklin as a guest artist. But it isn’t practical. She won’t fly, for starters. And if she came to Western Canada, she’d also be nervous about driv-ing through the Rocky Mountains.”

The Broadway Theatre, with 440 seats, is also prominent in festival planning. Booked there are the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on June 22, John Scofield Uberjam on June 23, Bettye Lavette on June 24, Nikki Yanofsky on June 27, the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra and P.J. Perry

on June 28, the David Murray Quartet and Macy Gray on June 29. Already 70 per cent of the tickets have been sold for The Pres-ervation band, specialists in New Orleans jazz.

The Bassment, which has been the Saskatoon Jazz Society’s home since 2009, “allows us to bring another collection of world-class artists, introduce them to the market, and give them a chance to work in a setting with quality sound and great vibes.”

The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer will play their two nights June 25-26. The Kurt Rosenwinkel Quarter will do two shows on June 27. Courtney Pine will play twice on June 29. And other bookings will be Coral Egan on June 21, the Allan Jones Canadian All-Star Sextet, which includes Jon Ballantyne, on June 22, Vijay Iyer on June 23, Soweto Kinch on June 24 and Alfredo Rodriguez on June 28.

The free outdoor stage in Friendship Park will have noon and after-supper shows almost every day and, according to Tobin, “that’s where we reflect the diversity of our festival, with an unbelievable acts, includ-ing some imports, on that stage.”

The newest wrinkle this year is present-ing eight performances by pianist Maurice Drouin, vocalist Tatrina Tai and trumpeter Barrie Redford on the Prairie Lily river-boat, with departures at 6:30 p.m. nightly.

Advance sales of the festival’s ticketed events are now available at the Bessbor-ough’s box office or at saskjazz.com. Tick-ets for the riverboat trips can be acquired through shearwatertours.com/jazz.html or by calling 306.THE.LILY.

The inaugural scholarship event for the University of Saskatch-ewan’s Huskie track team

will be held on May 10. The intent is to raise money for the track program and encourage track athletes to attend the U of S.

“I suppose the inspiration behind it was the simple realization that the real-ity of CIS sport has changed in Canada. I was originally on the team in 1996-97, 1998-99 and 2000-01,” said Karla Ga-bruch, an organizer and former Huskie athlete. “I was part of some very fierce teams, one of which won a CIS national title. Our program actually has the most successful legacy on campus with 12 overall national titles out of the U of S' total 25.

“When I decided to return to school in 2011-12 and 2012-13, I competed on the track team and used my last two years of eligibility as a 33-35-year-old. I noticed how the CIS climate has changed, how different the program feels and the dif-ferent feel of the team. It used to be that track athletes would want to come to the U of S and compete on the track team for our program and legacy. Now that Regina and other universities can offer kids graduating from high school a full ride because their university has allotted the funds, we are finding ourselves losing more and more athletes.”

All proceeds from the gala will go toward raising scholarship dollars for Huskie athletes. This will ensure that the Huskie track program has recruiting power and the ability to retain athletes. Huskie coach Lyle Sanderson, along with former athletes John Neufeld and Karlyn Serby, will be speaking at the event. The program will include a social with appetizers and live music, as well as a silent auction and a dance to cap off the night.

“I was a member of the fundraising committee and we had an idea of starting a yearly event for our team, much like the Dog’s Breakfast and other Huskie sport team fundraisers,” said Gabruch. “The track and field community is a huge one. Our intention is to bring all past, present and future Huskie track ath-letes and their supporters together under one banner. By doing so, we hope to set in place a solid foundation of support for the program to continue to build on, ensuring its legacy for years to come.”

Tickets for the Huskie Track and Field Scholarship Gala are available for $45 at Brainsport and Saskatchewan Athletics. For more information, go to www.facebook.com/Huskie.Track.

program on May 10• Californian Janice Hough, on Home-

land Security looking for money to bolster security by asking for a feasibility study on charging visitors from Canada to enter the United States: “Right, so we have more protection from all those dangerous Canadians.’’

• TC Chong, on the new $5 bill being unveiled on the International Space Station: “When you see it, you too will ask, ‘What rocket scientist designed this?’ ”

• Three Tweets from TSN’s Pierre LeB-run during a playoff game last week: “3. Holy man what a save by Quick; 2. Brown sticks his leg out and trips Schwartz. Yikes; 1. 5 on 3 here for the Kings, Jackman tak-ing down Doughty after the off-side call. 5 on 3 for 1:37.’’ The way I look it is this: If we are watching the game, we know these things. If we aren’t watching the game, we probably don’t care.

• Analysis from TSN’s Bob McKenzie, after the Eric Gryba hit on Lars Eller: “The only question the NHL will ask itself is whether Gryba got a big enough piece of Eller’s body to accept head hit as ‘inciden-tal’ contact. If yes, no suspension. If no, he’ll be suspended. Your guess is as good

as mine. I’m leaning toward former, but couldn’t rule out the latter.’’ I’m thinking that was a poor piece of commentary, or maybe it wasn’t.

• Hough, on Texas A & M announcing plans to renovate their football stadium so it will seat 102,500: “Not that we need any-thing to put football in Texas in perspec-tive, but the population of College Station, Texas, where A & M is located, is 95,142.

• From Bill Littlejohn: “Pope Francis announced that unless he receives approval for a new 6,000-square-foot video board for St. Peter’s Basilica, he will be forced to take the Catholic Church and relocate.”

• If Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson are Hockey Night in Canada’s No. 1 team, why are they doing the Boston-Toronto series? Shouldn’t the big dogs be doing the series featuring two Canadian-based teams? Not that I’m complaining — Bob Cole is No. 1 in my books.

• Chong, on the Vancouver Canucks’ poor performance in Game 1 against San Jose: “Even the rioters have made alternate plans for the Stanley Cup final this year.’’

• In their origins, the word groom means “male child” and bride means “cook.’’

When I proposed to my wife, I pretty much nailed it when I said, “You will be a beauti-ful cook.’’

• Since we have a theme here, “tie the knot’’ goes back days of yore, when a bride wore a girdle tied with knots. It was the groom’s duty to untie it. Today, we call that kinky.

• Hough, on the San Francisco 49ers signing British Olympic discus finalist Lawrence Okoye, despite the fact he has never played football: “Well, that makes sense — NFL teams sign student-athletes all the time that have never been students.

• Littlejohn, on Beyonce only drinking from a $900 titanium straw while on tour: “The only one more expensive was the one Reggie Jackson used to stir the drink for the New York Yankees.’’

• Chong, on Virgin Airlines allowing passengers to send other passengers drinks: “Not to be outdone, Air Canada announced that drinks and food can be ordered from the airport lounge as passengers sit waiting on the tarmac.’’

• One of the changes in the evolution of humans is we now have smaller brains. If you don’t believe it, go to a UFC performance.

• Saskatoon teenager Stephanie Zello has won a $10,000 prize for her years of volunteer work with the elderly. Speaking of helping seniors, how about Joe Girardi and those Yankees?

• In Denmark, attractive young women have been helping police to slow down drivers by posing topless on busy roadsides. Those are my kind of speed bumps.

• Hundreds of rumours, insider stories and expert discussions about possible trades, and

now Roberto Luongo is the Canucks’ starting playoff goalie? The guy is harder to cast off than an unwanted boomerang.

• The annual Naki Sumo rite of passage just ended in Tokyo where parents bring their young to see wrestlers who perform in ways that make the tots wail or cry. In Toronto, you just take your kid to a Leafs game.

• Texas A&M reportedly plans to increase seating in their football stadium to 102,500. Not to be outdone, the Saskatchewan Huskies will add a folding chair to their luxury box.

• A mother mallard at a wildlife reserve in England may be in the record books for pro-ducing a whopping brood of 24 hatchlings. Afterwards, she thought, “What the duck?”

• The Greek tragedian Euripedes once

said, “Man’s most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.” In a related story, the Blue Jays said 2013 was going to be their year.

• Former supermodel Kylie Bisutti, who won Victoria’s Secret’s 2009 Angel search, says she quit modelling “because she felt like a piece of meat.” Remind me to tell Kylie I’m vegetarian.

Bad neighbours come in all shapes and sizes. There are the loud, scream-at-the-top-of-their-lungs

types to the barking-dog-defecating-on-your-lawn variety. Before you contact one of the trusty members of the Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS® to get a For Sale sign embedded in your front lawn, here are some things to consider.

If your neighbours are the party-all-night college kids, the first rule is to talk to them. As uncomfortable as these con-versations can be, sometimes it is best to approach them with a friendly demeanour. Com-ing across as the grumpy old person next door is just going to irritate them. As the saying goes, “kill them with kind-ness.’’ If this approach doesn’t work, then contact the Saska-toon Police Service at 306-975-8300.

Nobody likes living next to someone who looks like they’ve started a junkyard on their lawn. If having an awkward con-versation with this individual is out of the question, then perhaps a passive-aggres-sive note is more your style – whatever gets them to move the four 1972 T-Birds and cut their seven-foot thistles down is your goal. Not only is their yard an eye-sore in the neighbourhood, it is also the breeding ground for numerous pests and rodents. The City of Saskatoon has a Safety and Property Maintenance hotline that you can call and report any untidy, unsightly property to at 306-975-2828.

You may love dogs and even own a dog, but when the neighbour’s 90-pound Rottweiler and 10-pound Shih Tzu spend their entire day and night singing a capella, your love of animals may not be enough. Recently, we had a similar situation with our neighbours. Eventually my fearless better-half had to knock on our neighbour’s door and ask them if they could get the amazing duo to keep it down

a notch. There are also Outdoor Ultrasonic Egg Barking Devices available from such pet supply stores as PetSmart that will de-ter barking dogs in any environment. They retail for approximately $50. Had this tactic not worked, we had devised a “bark schedule” that we were going to present to the City of Saskatoon Animal Services branch to have them take care of the situ-

ation. This also corresponds with that pet that uses your yard for a dumping ground, and won’t stay out of your yard. Animals at large can also be reported to Animal Control at 306-385-7387.

Waking up in the morn-ing to head to work with the neighbour’s basement renovation team blocking your driveway can be a nuisance. If it continues after you have politely asked them to move their vehicles time and time

again, violations can be reported to the City of Saskatoon Parking Enforcement at 306-975-8344. This also includes such violations as the neighbours blocking the sidewalk with any vehicles, trailers or recreational vehicles.

The City has developed all sorts of bylaws to keep neighbours pleasantly enjoying the other side of the fence from one another. Remember, it may be hard to sell a property if you haven’t dealt with the shortcomings of your neighbours. Chances are if you’re thinking it, someone else is, too, and this could be your chance to be the neighbourhood hero. Please visit the City of Saskatoon website at www.sas-katoon.ca for more information on bylaws and infractions.

For a list of our more than 600 agents, please visit the Saskatoon Region Asso-ciation of REALTORS® website at www.saskatoonrealtors.ca.

The classic Queen Anne-style archi-tectural lines of Randy Barlow’s latest residential project fit the tree-

lined Varsity View street like the finest of silk gloves.

The new three-storey, side-by-side homes reflect more than a historic nos-talgic charm from street level. The homes hold a conservative elegance that melds comfortably with the quiet neighbourhood and glorious park setting across the street.

“I found an ideal location to build two fine homes and I think we discovered just the right design combination,’’ the genial Saskatoon builder explained.

Sitting along Aird Street, just a convenient four blocks from the University of Saskatchewan, and directly across from President Murray Park, the home has a great address.

Each of the three-bedroom homes has almost 2,500 square feet, plus an added 1,020-square-foot basement, along with a detached heated double-car garage.

While the exterior echoes a stylish past, the home I toured has an interior that is contemporary, offering an elegant living space that marries an expert balance of practical and esthetic design. Hardwoods, coffered ceilings, delightful lighting fix-tures and large, attractive windows that fill the home with natural light are all part of the interior design.

A fabulous kitchen, a master bedroom with a beautiful ensuite, two upstairs balconies looking out over the park and a fully finished basement — with a wet bar and a large entertaining area — are just some of the highlights to be found in the home.

Barlow’s inspiration for this project came from a trip that he and his wife took to Toronto 18 months ago, when he was on a mission to search out property designs that would be suitable for the Varsity View lot that he and his business partner, Mervin Boychuk, had purchased a few months earlier.

After two days of touring the city’s posh Rosedale neigh-bourhood, he found the perfect style design for his project in the harmonious symmetry of a pair of brick and stone homes built in 1892 by Davidson Todd.

Recently, one of the homes was listed by a real-estate firm at $2,249,000.

The discovery was love at first sight for Barlow, who has built numerous in-fill character homes in the city’s mature neigh-bourhoods. Barlow says that his success in more than 25 years in the home construc-tion business comes from finding custom-ers who are of like mind when it comes to seeing the potential of combining modern construction techniques with timeless architectural lines.

The home at 1121 Aird St. is sold, although its next-door companion is just about completed and is for sale. For more details check www.barlowhomes.ca.

LS906023.E06 LizaDoctor, I’m having some real prob-lems with my stomach. Every time I . . .”

“What month were you born in?”“What?”“When were you born?”“February.”“I see. Well, then, I have to wonder about

your state of mind.”Oddly enough, it turns out that those

born in February are more likely to have Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and toss in some super-sized seizures for good luck. No wonder ground-hogs head back into their holes.

As doctors, we no longer consult the stars for help, though I once asked Liberace if he thought my pants made my butt look like a cruciferous vegetable. But researchers have long known that your month of birth can make a very small, but notice-able, difference in your medical future. Dozens of illnesses have been correlated with specific birth months. Why? What you expose your fetus to — and don’t we all hate exposing our fetuses — can have ramifications that last a lifetime. The time of year can determine the abun-dance or paucity of fetal exposure to certain viruses, nutrition, vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin), NHL playoffs and even pollen.

For example, schizophrenia, though uncommon, has a 10 per cent increased risk if you are born in the dark months. Could fetal exposure to a virus in the second trimester of pregnancy when neurodevelop-ment begins be linked to schizophrenia? For multiple sclerosis, April and May are particularly bad months in the Northern Hemisphere, possibly due to low vitamin D exposure in utero. Interestingly, October births have the lowest risk for MS. A new study reports that children whose mothers were exposed to high pollen levels in late pregnancy are at increased risk for asthma and allergies at a young age.

Even people’s success later in life may be influenced by the time of year in which they were born, according to researchers from the University of British Columbia. The found that babies born in the summer are less likely to make it to the top of the corporate ladder

and become CEOs and get that key to the special washroom. I am an August baby, which might explain why it was either the mailroom or politics for me.

How about life expectancy in general? Should you happen to be born between Oc-tober and December, the odds are that you will live 125 days longer than a sibling born between April and June. The difference is the same as smoking 10 cigarettes a day for four years. Oddly, the exact reverse is true

if you’re born in the Southern Hemisphere.

What diseases and disorders are most common for each birth month? You will now skim down to your month and gasp in horror. By consulting this list you can have your diagnosis before you even come to our office.

London. Madrid. New York City. Mumbai. Bali. Washington, D.C.

This is just a short list of the great world destinations that have been hit by devastating terrorist attacks dur-ing the past 15 years. All are thriving today, and all remain top places in the world for tourism.

But that “happy ending” didn’t come all at once, in some cases. Both Bali and New York City, in particu-lar, saw serious drops in their tourist numbers after events that made them synonymous with terror in some would-be visitors’ minds.

It’s too soon to know whether Boston will suffer the same fate, though it is telling to note that the major airlines that service the city offered customers the ability to change their tickets without fees, though service was going forward as scheduled. I’m guessing airline execs assumed that a lot of people would be rethinking whether to visit this important city.

So, why should you visit Boston now? Here are my top reasons:

(1) Do hugs appeal to you? Visitors will be embraced, both literally and figurative-ly, by thankful locals. They understand that choosing to spend your vacation dollars in Boston today is an act of solidarity, and they’ll be grateful for the gesture.

(2) Public celebrations of numerous

milestones: This year marks the 50th an-niversary of the acclaimed Boston Ballet, meaning inventive programming, a higher

level of excitement at performances and spe-cial galas. The Old State House, arguably the most historic building in this highly historic town (the Declaration of Independence was read from its balcony), will be turning 300 with a splashy array of special museum exhibits, lectures and programs. And for the

little ones, the Boston Children’s Museum is celebrating its 100th year with all-new exhibits, lots of kid-friendly parties and special events.

(3) For the art of the place: Not only are the Colonial structures of Central Boston a happy eyeful, the city boasts two of the finest art museums in this hemisphere. The Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum, an exquisite collection housed in the former home of its patroness, was significantly (and gorgeously) expanded in 2012, with a new addition by Renzo Piano. Its famed Titians, Rembrandts, Botticellis and John Singer Sargent works still take pride of place (most particularly “Europa” by Tit-ian, considered by some to be the finest

BostonTourists important part of city’s recovery

Renaissance work in North America). And the Museum of Fine Arts continues to dazzle, with visitors flocking to its fairly recent (2010) new Americas wing, as well as its magnificent collection of Impression-ist works.

(4) It’s right next to Cambridge, which means two unique destinations in one. Head to Cambridge for strolls in fabled Harvard Yard. Free tours — led by students — explore the history of the campus, though you can ask these young geniuses anything you like about student life. A warning: They bristle when you ask if Harvard was portrayed accurately

in The Social Network. The Mount Au-burn Cemetery also is worth a look-see (it’s one of the prettiest and most nota-bles-filled in the Americas), as are the Peabody Museum and Harvard Natural History Museum. And heck, pretending you’re a student in Harvard Square is a hoot.

These are just a handful of reasons to go. But probably the most important is to do a good deed. Boston needs your sup-port. And it could be a heckuva lot of fun to give it!

Subaru’s wonder wagon adds refinement plus a more

satisfying right-foot workout.

ou would think that after 15 years and three genera-tions of Forester that Subaru would have concocted the ideal formula for its tallest tall wagon.

Actually this car-based conveyance has contained most-ly all the right ingredients ever since its 1998-model-year launch and the fourth generation model arriving this spring is dishing up more of the same.

Through clockwork-regular updating, the Forester has evolved into a steady performer that treats its passengers well and totes their belongings with ease. On good roads and bad, the standard all-wheel-drive operates virtually unnoticed. But when the need arises, which is frequently in snow-belt regions, the vehicle’s mountain-goat capabilities make it a popular choice.

The 2014 Forester’s bolder, brawnier styling displays more curves and angles than before. The blacked-out lower body cladding featured on all models ties in nicely with the more expressive mesh-style grille, flat-black bumper and attractively shaped side air intakes featured on up-level turbo models. (Subaru has also eliminated the turbo’s obtrusive hood scoop that was part of its standard kit.)

The Forester sits on a new platform that modestly stretches the distance between the front and rear wheels. That translates into a bit more rear legroom (up-level trims add a reclining rear seat), but a taller roofline and lower load floor adds about 10 per cent more cargo volume with the split-folding rear seat folded flat.

The cabin’s more formal control-panel layout is trimmed in satin nickel and optional leather. Subaru’s designers also increased the distance between the front seats and the dash to create a greater sense of spaciousness.

The Forester’s only significant carryover item is the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine (installed in 2.5i models) that generates 170 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. For added punch, the 2.0XT uses a turbocharged version of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder in the BRZ sports coupe. Rated at 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, it replaces the previous 2.5-litre turbo engine option that produced 224 horsepower and 226 pound-feet. The engine, which appar-

ently won’t fit into the BRZ, does show potential, howeve, for a future application.

The 2.5i offers a six-speed manual transmission, or a continuously variable (CVT) option. The 2.0XT only comes with the CVT, but it comes with what Subaru calls its “engine performance management system” with Intelligent, Sport and Sport Sharp settings. In Sport mode, the throttle be-comes more responsive and the steering-column-mounted paddle shifters mimic the action of a six-speed transmission. Throttle response is further heightened in Sport Sharp mode, but the CVT provides eight “speeds” to play with. This is pos-sible because the CVT actually has no set ratios and can be programmed to act differently at different times.

Fuel economy with the 2.5 is estimated at 9.5 l/100 km in the city and 7.4 on the highway with the CVT, while the 2.0XT’s estimate is 10.2/8.4. These values improve on the previous-gen’s base and optional powertrains.

Updating the Forester’s underpinnings was also on Subaru’s radar. This included specific retuning the front and rear suspension for the base and turbo models and installing larger brakes for the latter. Electric power steering replaces the less-efficient hydraulic unit to help curb fuel consumption.

Standard on the 2.0XT and available on the 2.5i with the CVT is Subaru’s X-Mode control. The system, which can be activated at speeds below 21 km-h, adds greater control on slippery surfaces by shifting torque to the wheels with grip, either front to back or side to side. Hill-descent control that restricts downhill speed is also an X-Mode feature.

As before, even base Foresters (estimated at $27,500 to start) arrive reasonably well equipped, while upgrading to the Premium adds a better audio system, heated front seats with 10-way power driver’s seat, rear-vision camera. Limited models include the CVT and leather-covered seats while the Touring edition tops out with touch-screen navigation and a 440-watt Harmon-Kardon-brand audio package.

The Forester’s admirers likely won’t be disappointed with this latest iteration’s crisp styling, added performance and improved fuel efficiency. For those reasons, this Forester is one notch closer to perfection.

Transmissions Six-speed manual; continuously variable with opt. paddle shifters

Market position The market for smaller, relatively affordable tall wagons continues to expand. in this segment, Subaru’s Forester stands apart by including standard all-wheel-drive at a decent price.

Points ☛ Forester’s looks better with age. ☛ new interior would look at home in more expensive vehicles. ☛

ordering your Forester with cVT paddle-shifter option will add some fun, but no more economy. ☛ don’t expect 250-horse turbo 2.0 to be dropped right into BRZ coupe as Subaru states it won’t fit. ☛ Fuel economy compares with front-wheel-drive competitors.

Safety Front airbags; side-impact airbags; side-curtain airbags; front-knee airbag; anti-lock brakes; traction control; stability control.

L/100 km (city/hwy): 9.5/7,4 (2.4, cVT, est.) Base price (incl. destination): $27,500 (est.)

Little orange traffic cone loses out on loveThere are many ways to tell it’s spring out there,

but potholes seem to be the most constant and repetitive and persistent clue that the weather

has shifted gears for the better.It seems like no matter where you live, those little

gremlins just pop up out of nowhere to clobber you. It’s like that whack-a-gopher game at the fair . . . if the gophers tore the sponge club out of your hand and started furiously beating you with it, that is.

According to the best and most reliable and trustworthy source on the planet, where no one lies or speculates or drives themselves crazy trying to self-diagnose a mysterious mole on their arm -- the Internet -- a pothole occurs when the pavement cracks in a crocodile pattern and the loose bits are knocked away when driven over. Water and freezing temperatures speed up the erosion. At what point this goes from being a pothole to a sinkhole -- a basement that swallows an entire car (or in Florida, a basement that swallows an entire basement) -- I have no idea, but for today’s chat, I’ll stick with the smaller stuff.

Like most drivers who think they’re all done with bad road conditions once the snow melts, that’s just the beginning. When the road opens up like a bombed out airstrip, your attention becomes divided amongst the traffic, the signals, cyclists who miracu-lously text and ride, and potholes. No, officer, I was not drinking, I was merely swerving for what I fear will be a failed attempt at survival.

Even when I’m not in the car, potholes like to wreck a little havoc. One such pit in front of my house is large enough to warrant a cute orange cone to warn drivers.

The cone and pothole have only met, but since it’s spring and love is in the air, right from their first date it really seemed like a match made on asphalt, or on an online dating site, anyway. This pothole, though, or whatever the Internet wants to call it, is deep enough that only the top two-thirds of the cone is visible to oncoming traffic. It’s also right in the middle of the road, so if you’re not paying attention, or driving too quickly, you’ll cut that poor thing off right at the neck.

Case in point, I went to bed and the cone and

pothole seemed to be getting along just fine out there. I woke up to a crashing sound -- obviously someone had found the pothole -- and when I went outside in the morning, the cone was gone. Sort of gone, anyway. It was on a neighbour’s front lawn a couple of houses down. I walked over, picked it up and reunited it with the pothole. They really do make a nice couple.

Later that day, school let out and an inquisitive girl thought the cone was there by mistake and moved it off to the side of the road. Hey, how would she know any better since she’s, like, 6, and prob-ably doesn’t drive enough to understand the perils of potholes. A few minutes later, a car crashed through the hole, of course, so I went back outside to reunite the bright orange warning device with its beloved and quirky road anomaly.

It couldn’t have been 30 minutes after that when someone pulled into the neighbour’s driveway, clear-ly by mistake, and proceeded to drive over the cone when they backed out onto the street. The cone was now wedged under the car and being dragged along.

I’m sure if the pothole had eyes, it would have been rolling them by now.

Once the driver realized there was a problem and fished out the cone, did she return it to the pot-hole so that the torrid romance could continue? Alas, no, it was tossed onto the grassy part between the sidewalk and the street. Once again, love torn apart and passing cars were once again exposed to what would no doubt be a helluva carnival ride at 50 km-h.

By now, I’m wondering a couple of things: if I’m the only person who cares about the orange cone’s love life; how people can keep running over, or are otherwise confused by, a bright orange cone; and when is someone going to get over here and fix this pothole so I don’t have to keep going outside to put the cone back in.

Spring, I love, but pothole season, I truly despise you.
