Stefan Trischuk, 25, will be the “fresh face” on a television show featuring aerobatic flying (Photos by Joelle Tomlinson)

Saskatoon pilot to star in reality show

T

Joelle Tomlinson for the Saskatoon Express

wo thousand feet in the air, diving through the clouds, 25-year-old Stefan Trischuk is at home. He maneuvers his aerobatic plane (a matte black Ultimate biplane) with ease, rolling, turning and flipping upside down in sequence. For Trischuk, doing rolls and hammerheads and loops in an aerobatic airplane is just freedom, where you “truly experience all three dimensions of flight.” And next March Trischuk will be doing those rolls, loops and hammerheads on television. That’s when an exciting new reality show takes to the air. “About eight months or so ago, I got a phone call from an ex-Snowbird team

leader and CF-18 demonstration pilot. He was telling me about this new reality TV show that was happening. He explained how he got my contact information and asked if I would be willing to be a cast member.” The Vancouver-based film production crew visited Trischuk in Saskatoon and flew him to Vancouver to prepare for the show. It will feature three main characters: an experienced aerobatic pilot, a risk-taker and a fresh face in the industry. Trischuk will be the fresh face. To get a sense of the show, think of the Canadian reality TV series Highway Thru Hell, then replace the trucks with airplanes and the tarmac with sky. It’s a dream come true for Trischuk, who has always been fascinated with flight. It started with a school report when

he was six years old. Next he constructed a homemade hang glider — his mom helped sew the tarp material for the 22-foot wingspan. The hang glider made it about a foot off the ground. “That was a good thing,” Trischuk said with a laugh. “In hindsight, the glider didn’t have a whole bunch of the safety regulations, so I’m lucky I didn’t get (farther) off the ground.” With homemade hang gliders in Trischuk’s past, he moved on to the real deal. He has around 100 hang glider flights under his belt, including winch towing in Saskatchewan and mountain gliding in other regions. “A lot of people say when you go skydiving it’s the closest thing you can get to being a bird. Well I don’t agree with that. I think hang gliding is the closest you can

get to being a bird because you are flying,” said Trischuk. “It’s foot launched; it’s foot landed. You yourself are flying, versus when you are in an airplane and the machine is flying. You are the heaviest part of that (hang glider). It’s an amazing experience when you’re at the top of a mountain and just start running for the edge. You feel the air inflating underneath the wings, so you know it’s going to fly when you get to the end. When you do get to the end, the ground drops away from you and you just fly.” Onward and upward. It only seemed natural the next step for Trischuk was aerobatic flying. Trischuk obtained his private pilot’s licence and prioritized learning the art. (Continued on page 6)

I HAVE cucumbers this year. Regular readers might recall the complaining I did about the poor crop last year. And the joke that was played on me. One day last summer, when all hope was lost, my cucumber patch came to life. Turned out my former friend Lloyd Lahti and my former wife Sandy had placed a few of Lloyd’s award-winning veggies in my garden. This year Lloyd and his wife (Sharon) gave us an envelope of their secret seeds. Instead of planting my Walmarters, I have secret cucumbers. Last week we had our first home-grown cucumbers and tomatoes. They are so good that old Lloyd can be my friend again. And Sandy can be my wife again.

Kesler was born and raised in Saskatoon and said he’s wanted to be a musician since he could talk. He learned to play the guitar when he was five and the piano when he was seven. He also plays bass and drums and has studied the saxophone, trumpet and French horn. And if having a hit video on YouTube wasn’t enough for the up-and-coming musician, he’s also just released his first CD that’s already been nominated for two awards. Dragon Suite is the debut album by the Homzy/Kesler Duo, which features Kesler on piano and Aline Homzy on violin. The two musicians met at Humber College in 2008. They composed a piece of music together in 2011 called A Dragon’s Dream and performed it at Homzy’s third-year recital. The song was well received, and the duo decided to write a whole suite of music based on the concept. “The album is a chamber jazz style, with some contemporary, some classical and some jazz,” Kesler said. “Some music is composed where it’s all planned out. And there are parts that are improvised. That was fun.” This style of music was a bit out of his comfort zone, he added, saying that

his strong suits are funk, R&B and soul. “It was quite a big departure for me, but working with Aline has pushed me to do new things.” And their hard work has paid off. The album has already been nominated for a Toronto Independent Music Award for best jazz album, as well as two awards in the international Independent Music Awards (Contemporary Classical Album and Instrumental Song for VI Dragon’s Dream.) Winners of these awards are determined by a panel of influential artists and industry judges, including Tom Waits, Ziggy Marley, Suzanne Vega, Weird Al Yankovic and Joel Madden. “It feels really awesome to have the CD out, and it feels fantastic to know it’s been well received,” Kesler said. “You’re always on the edge of your seat to see how people respond to your music. The nominations are an affirmation of our hard work. If we were to win, it would grant us a lot more exposure.” For more on Andrew and his music, visit www.andrewkesler.com.

Q

Lanes, reins and automobiles

uestion: How does the City decide which back lanes get renovated or serviced? My lane has been in terrible condition for many years and is a slough for several months at a time. Last summer after several calls to public works, a grader made a pass and a bit of gravel was added. But the small effort was clearly inadequate as the ruts, pot holes and standing water are just as bad this year. A visiting friend was appalled at the state of our lane. She said her alley is serviced two or three times each year even though it is always in excellent condition. If my neighbours and I ordered and paid for enough gravel to improve the lane, could we deduct the cost from our taxes? Ask the Mayor Atchison: The answer is no. Here’s the reason. It’s not that we don’t want people to help fix the city or improve it, but everyone has pet projects. The city has a list of priorities. We adjusted our priorities this year so that back alleys are getting more attention. City crews go out and evaluate all the back alleys. A lot of the work in the past has been reactionary. This year we are more proactive. We are investing a significant amount of money. Our maintenance budget this year is $400,000 and our reconstruction budget is $690,000. We will continue to do more of that. In fact if you want to check out the work schedules you can go to the home page on our website (www.

saskatoon.ca) and click on the letter “B” for back alleys. The administration has schedules and plans for each ward and when the work will be done. We are rethinking the whole approach to alleys, streets and roads. Right now our streets are quilts of pothole patches, and that’s not working. We need a more comprehensive plan for the future. (Later this month) a plan will be coming forward to address streets. Sidewalks need to be included in that too. A recent report says we need to invest $20 million a year; I truly believe that. Here’s a little history. In the past we had other priorities. For years we had a huge problem with flooding in the west end Mayor and sewage backing up into peoples’ basements after major rain storms. I don’t think anyone should have to go through having sewage in their basement. We needed to stop that, so we installed the ‘super pipes.’ They are giant storage pipes buried in the area. These pipes collect the storm water which keeps sewage from backing up into basements. The water was gradually released into the storm system. That cost the city millions. Another priority was attainable housing. No one should sleep on the streets or in cars. So five years ago we launched the Attainable Housing Program. We built 2,534 homes in five years. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports it is the No. 1

DON ATCHISON

housing program in Canada. We are focusing on ending homelessness through the Safe Streets Commission and the United Way’s Plan to End Homelessness. Now our priority is resurfacing our streets. I think over the next couple of years, with the program that is going to be released this fall, we will see a significant improvement in that area. Question: I am interested to hear how the City of Saskatoon plans to address the issue of excessive noise from motorcycles, trucks and souped-up cars. Mayor Atchison: We have been attempting to deal with that issue. Our biggest concern is finding a solution that the courts will recognize. There is no point going out and writing tickets and having the courts dismiss them. We have been following Calgary’s efforts very closely. The technology is known as noise snare. The company that was selling it may have oversold its effectiveness. So the administration is still looking at that. Edmonton has a program to ticket noisy motorcycles, but it doesn’t work on trucks and cars. Consequently here in Saskatoon we have been looking at options from across Canada. The bottom line is that when an officer issues a ticket it has to stand up in court. Question: What is a noise snare? Mayor Atchison: It’s like radar. It’s a hand-held device that measures the decibel level coming from a vehicle. But the City of Calgary has discontinued it after a two-year trial. I don’t know what the specific issues were, and it’s not my place to ML41272.H12 comment. Mary But if it isn’t working there we

probably aren’t interested here. Question: You rode a horse in the Exhibition Parade. Have you been riding a long time? Mayor Atchison: (laughing) I am a very seasoned and experienced rider. That was my second time on a horse. (laughing) I have been riding with Chief Darcy Bear from White Cap in the last two exhibition parades. He asked me to ride with him. It’s a wonderful thing to do to show the community coming together. I really enjoyed it. But I am no horseman. Question: Any fear of getting on a horse, given your lack of experience? Mayor Atchison: Not at all. Last year they gave me a horse that was so slow they needed a tow truck to get him back into the trailer. This year my horse was a little more spirited. (Have a question for Mayor Atchison? Send it to editorial@saskatoonexpress.com. Please put “mayor” in the subject line.)

Sale of alcohol is big business for restaurants and drinking establishments, but it is also big business for government. What most consumers don’t realize is that tax on alcohol in Canada (and in particular Saskatchewan) is huge. Years ago, when in Puerto Rico, I purchased a bottle of rum at the grocery store. It cost me $2. At that time the same bottle in Saskatchewan cost $28. In the United States, buying a bottle of liquor at Costco or a specialty liquor store costs half the price we pay in Saskatchewan. Even with these cheaper prices, the distillers and retailers are

making large profits. The argument against loosening the regulations is making “demon alcohol” more readily available to the public. While it is frightening to think of the fatalities related to liquor consumption, we have to recognize that if people are going to drink to excess, they will do so regardless of where they purchase the product. Along with changes in the sale of liquor, what we need is stiffer penalties for drinking and driving. Perhaps that will be Chapter Two in the story of The New Saskatchewan. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Trischuk will share passion for flying in show

(Continued from page 1) “I wanted to fly up and down, in loops, and in all different attitudes of flight,” said Trischuk. “I didn’t want to fly straight and level because that’s boring. While I was getting my ultralight permit I met Dave Gillespie, who is an aerobatic pilot. I got my first ride in his Eagle and it was a lot of fun. Surprisingly, it bothered my stomach a little bit but wasn’t out of control. It was a relaxing, controlled experience. I felt at home right way. I let him know I had given myself a timeline: a year to start flying aerobatics.” Trischuk, Gillespie and other pilots took the timeline to heart. They located an Ultimate Biplane in Guelph, Ont.; Trischuk drove there with a trailer to bring the plane home. Trischuk’s progress didn’t stop there. “There is an association called the International Council of Airshows (ICAS) and all air show pilots belong to ICAS. They have a convention that happens every year. And that’s where most of the networking happens,” said Trischuk. “So I thought it was important to go and see what exactly goes on at the ICAS conference. I went down last winter to Las Vegas. I spent a few days down there, went to some of the seminars, met a lot of people and checked out what it was all about. That’s how I

made connections with other pilots. Those connections soon paid dividends. “I had heard that there was a reality show happening. I had read about it and thought about how cool it would be to get involved with something like that,” said Trischuk. “All of a sudden I get this phone call. And it was the same show I’d read about it. All I could think was ‘this is amazing.’ It will air at the beginning of March next year. We get to see it first in Canada, but after the first airing it’ll go international.” As it is with any aerobatic pilot, he would like to make it a profitable venture. But that isn’t his main goal. The television contract will exponentially increase his exposure and air time — both in the sky and on the screen. He and the Vancouver-based film production company prefer to keep the details under wraps for now, including which network will feature the show. Saskatonians will be able to follow his progress through each episode. Each show will document Trischuk’s successes and perhaps some disappointments as he works toward becoming an established aerobatic pilot. “I couldn’t have imagined anything better than to get this opportunity. They are getting a lot of North America’s most popular and well-known air show pilots,”

Stefan Trischuk has had a love of flying since he was six years old (Photos by Joelle Tomlinson) he said. “What better experience could they possibly be giving me than getting coached by the best people in the industry? They are my heroes. It’s just like being a kid that’s into hockey and meeting Wayne Gretzky.” Trischuk is still that 12-year-old kid at heart, fascinated with airplanes and reading about hang gliders from the pages of National Geographic Magazine.

hen Kathleen Lohrenz Gable and Che Anne Loewen were undergraduate students at Wilfrid Laurier University, they experimented with the One Piano, Two Friends, Four Hands concept. Now after many visits back and forth (Gable lives in Saskatoon and Loewen in Toronto) they are ready to deliver a recital of duets in the Lyell Gustin Recital Series on Aug. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. “It is a very difficult thing to do,” Gable said on the telephone from Vancouver where she has been working at the Vancouver Summer Opera Studio in recent times. The two have chosen a program of Schubert’s Fantasie in F minor, Barber’s Souvenirs, Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and selections by Weber and Liszt. “We have been working to push ourselves,” said Gable. “We share one piano. And obviously it would be easier if we each had a piano. It’s about who’s playing which note — sometimes with one person’s hand on top of the other — and learning to twist away at the right time so you don’t get in each other’s way. It really is a big project, and we’ve made many trips to rehearse with each other. “We chose what we think is a strong program. Schubert’s work is magnificent and very taxing. Out of all our tricks, you’re going to get what I call a full-meal deal.” Gable studied with Lyell Gustin at an

early age and attained a bachelor’s degree in music from Wilfrid Laurier University where she studied with Gustin graduate Garth Beckett. She received a diploma in Poetry of the German Lied from the Franz Schubert Institute in Austria, the fellowship at Trinity College of Music in London, England, and master of music in accompanying and chamber music at the University of Michigan. She currently teaches applied piano and is music director for the Music Theatre Ensemble at the University of Saskatchewan. Loewen is originally from Steinbach, Man., and has performed across Canada and Europe with singers and instrumentalists. She has toured with Jean Stilwell and recently with Lorna MacDonald and Guy Few. The appearance in the Gustin series brings back memories for Gable. “I came down from Prince Albert, sometimes by train and sometimes with my parents in the car,” Gable said. “Mr. Gustin was very kind and gave me a wonderful grounding in style and in art. He worked very hard with young people and was very specific and detailed. One year I came down twice a week, one for lessons in theory and the other for the piano lessons. “The bonus for both Che Anne and me was that we studied with Garth Beckett, a Gustin disciple down east.” Tickets for the recital are $30 for adults and $25 for students. They are available at Yamaha Piano, McNally Robinson and at the door. For more information, call 306343-0542 or visit www.gustinhouse.ca.

Having coffee with Oliver

A

s I watched Oliver Jones walk briskly onto the Montreal Jazz Festival stage in a cream-coloured suit, I thought back to all he had shared with me during a coffee meeting earlier in the day. The most amazing of which is that his program is never set. “It is always spontaneous,� he said. “What do you mean?� I asked. “Don’t you practise the pieces and then play what you’ve practised?� “No,� he said. “I’ve never played the same piece the same way ever. And I never know what pieces I’ll be playing until I’m on the stage and playing. Musicianship goes up with an audience. I can feel the audience and then decide what to play.� Spontaneity. Now that’s jazz! Jones begins his performance by easing in with a little Oscar Peterson. After a short visit with the audience, he plays a medley of Nat King Cole tunes. Within each segment the audience can hear the familiar melody, but then are Columnist treated to an outburst of jazz as Jones gingerly touches the piano keys, sharing his talent and experience. “I take my cues from the audience,� Jones had said. “I watch their faces: see if they are hooked on the music, judge what changes I might make if the audience is younger or older, if they might be bop or swing.� Over two days Jones performed two sold-out solo shows at the festival. He likes the solo time as it gives him an opportunity to feel out the rhythms, tempos and timing. It is a chance to reflect and experiment with new combinations. “The piano at Place des Arts was giving me a little trouble last night. I may have to forget some of the chords I like to use as the right end of the keyboard wasn’t right. “You have a lovely piano in Saskatoon,� he added, speaking of The Bassment’s Yamaha S6. He is scheduled to play it again May 24. “I play best when the piano is an extension of myself,� he said. Jones has had a love affair with Saskatoon audiences since playing at the inaugural Saskatchewan Jazz Festival in 1979 with our own Jon Ballantyne. Jones remembers thinking of the pride and excitement that Saskatoon organizers had in the launch of what has become the largest jazz festival in Western Canada.

Jones has played at every Montreal Jazz Festival except the first one. Thirty-four years later, it still feels like the first one for him. “It is always more gratifying when people at home love me.� Jones talked about the effect his music has on people. He feels honoured to know that his playing can elicit strong emotions from the listener. When Jones started playing his version of Georgia, my eyes welled up and the tears began to flow. I knew immediately the connection was to my mother, a piano teacher now long gone. She taught students to play with emotion, use their arms and shoulders, and get their fingers deep into the keys. At that moment Jones brought it all together for me, transport-

ing me to a beautiful time in my life. While playing solo gives Jones the opportunity to reflect on his own playing, he was quick to compliment the playing of his trio — drummer Jim Doxas, whose impeccable, intense style suits Jones’ playing, and bass player Eric Legace, who has played with him for years. He talked of their need to challenge one another and always keep the spontaneity in their music. Jones will turn to his trio and say, “I’ve got this,� then take the lead. It gives them room to feel the freedom to grow and to expand. One of Jones’ greatest challenges these days is deciding when the time will be right for him to retire. “It’s hard to leave this and retire, but it’s a reality.� Not yet, Mr. Jones. Please!

Each year Folkfest prides itself on having something new on offer. In 2013 the RBC Global Village welcomes three new pavilions: South Sudan, Pakistan and West-Central Africa. Popular pavilions are also returning this year after taking 2012 off include: the Jewish, Hungarian and Francophone pavilions. This year’s Folkfest will have 21 pavilions, up from 16 last year. “Hopefully our guests can get to every pavilion,” said Rau with a smile. “But we know it can be awfully difficult. There’s just so much to take in.” So much indeed. From the exotic rhythms of music and dance to the amazing flavours to taste — shopping, eating, entertainment, hospitality and pride will abound at all 21 pavilions. Folkfest has also upped its digital game, with a new website (www. saskatoonfolkfest.com) and a Saskatoon Folkfest mobile app. Download it to

arly legends describe salamanders as creatures born of fire. Such tales stemmed from accounts of salamanders scurrying from cooking fires, leading people to believe this was their origin. In truth, the unlucky amphibians were hiding within the logs fuelling the fire and abandoned their refuge to save their lives. Where do salamanders really come from? Most people recognize them in their adult form on dry land. But the early life of most salamanders actually starts underwater in ponds, pools and sloughs. Barred tiger salamanders (Ambystoma mavortium) represent the only salamander species native to Saskatchewan. They are a member of the family Ambystomatidae (the mole salamander). Mole salamanders have a two-phased life history and undergo early development in wetland habitats. Between April and May, large numbers of adult salamanders congregate in fishless wetlands where they breed. Each female can produce up to 170 eggs, deposited singly or in small clusters on rocks and vegetation near the bottom of the wetland. Larvae hatch within two weeks and are initially translucent and legless. Hatchlings rapidly develop legs, pigmentation, large feathery gills and tail fins. Eggs and young hatchlings are highly susceptible to predation and must grow rapidly. Young hide in vegetation to avoid predation. Salamander larvae are entirely aquatic. Wetland habitats are highly variable and larvae must adapt to a variety of adverse conditions to survive to adulthood. Disease, predation and poor weather can cause substantial larval mortalities (as high as 25 to 100 per cent). The course of larval development may vary in response to the environment. In arid conditions larvae must develop rapidly to escape from drying ponds, so they forgo increased growth. On the other hand, larvae under intense predation pressure may invest in larger body size and prolong development. Larvae are ambush predators. As they grow they may become the top aquatic predators in the wetland. They remain

motionless until prey approaches and then rapidly expand their mouth. This creates a vacuum which sucks in their prey. Larvae primarily consume small zooplankton, but may also eat insects and other larval amphibians as they grow. Salamander diet is typically limited by the availability of prey species and the size of their mouths. Larval salamanders may become cannibalistic when their population becomes dense and food is scarce. Some larvae may specifically adapt to these conditions by eating larger prey, including other salamanders. These cannibal morphs develop a distinctly broader mouth and have much larger teeth than typical morphs. This adaptation is reversible should conditions improve and prey become more abundant. In this case, a cannibal morph can revert to a typical morph. Larvae are also capable of identifying their relatives by using chemical cues, so they typically avoid eating closely-related kin. Most larvae develop lungs and lose their gills after two to four months. When they’re about six to nine centimetres long they become terrestrial juveniles. In wetlands that do not freeze completely, larvae continue to grow and prolong metamorphosis for up to two years. In rare cases larvae may reach reproductive maturity without metamorphosing (they retain their gills, do not develop lungs and become reproductive, aquatic adults). Retention of larval traits to maturity is known as neoteny. These neotenic salamanders may grow to 30 centimetres in length, while metamorphosed salamanders typically only reach an adult size of 14 to 20 centimetres. Metamorphs emerge from wetlands to enter the second phase of their life as terrestrial salamanders. In two to five years surviving adults achieve reproductive maturity and may live from 12 to 15 years of age. Adults in breeding condition return annually to the wetland where they were born to perpetuate this cycle. (Dale Jefferson is a member of the Saskatoon Nature Society.

His family said they could afford it because they only pay 45 cents for haircuts.â€? • Torben Rolfsen, on Greg Oden signing with the Miami Heat: “Don’t most old people in the U.S. retire to Florida?â€? • Is it human nature or just plain stupidity that I find myself sympathizing with Alex Rodriguez? • From Janice Hough: “I’m not saying A-Rod’s self-centred act is getting old, but even his mirror is telling him he might not be the fairest of them all anymore.â€? • A Florida man who survived a lightning strike and a rattlesnake bite is now recovering from a shark attack. The man said next on his bucket list is hunting with Dick Cheney. • From Chong: “A massive sinkhole appeared in downtown Montreal. The mayor is planning to look into it.â€? • Bill Littlejohn, on a long-distance swimmer completing his 22-mile trip across a Michigan lake while towing a ton of bricks: “One spectator says the feat reminded him of when LeBron James played for the Cavaliers.â€? • Rolfsen, on Jonathan Ogden, Larry Allen and Warren Sapp being inducted into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame together: “It was the greatest night in the history of Canton, Ohio, catering companies.â€? • There are 90 miles of golf-cart roads in Peachtree City, Georgia. More than 9,000 households in the city of 34,000 have golf carts. It must be quite a sight with all those left signal lights blinking. • From Chong: “Alex Rodriguez rejoined the Yankees last week in Chicago.

Think twice before lending your car

S

omeday the call will come: “Hey can I borrow your car/ truck/motorhome/skateboard (or whatever)?” Chances are it will come from a lifelong friend whom you’ll no doubt find difficult to turn down. Now, lending a vehicle is not like lending a skirt or a rake. It’s like lending money. Friends and money -- your money -go together like oil and water . . . or like friends and your car. Lending your car to a friend can be one of the worst experiences in your adult life, but, you know, that’s what friends do for friends. So, best-case scenario? Your friend borrows your car, returns it cleaner than you remembered, the gas tank is full and he or she promises to return the favour should you ever need it. Wow, now that’s a fairy-tale ending. Worst-case scenario? Your friend borrows the car, smokes in it, drops ketchup and melted cheese everywhere, tears the seat fabric, racks up 1,000 kilometres, keeps it for a month, drives into a tree, returns it with no gas . . . and then complains that it doesn’t drive very well. Laugh now, but the moment the keys leave your hands, anything goes, no matter how good the friendship is. Next thing you know, you’re in front of Judge Judy. For the most part, your experience will likely fall between the two extremes. But there are some unwritten rules that will help make sure your vehicle and your friendship come back in one piece. 1) Outline the expectations In the initial conversation, express reluctance if you’re actually reluctant. It’s an expensive car, not a book or a cup of sugar. Try something like, “Well, you know how fussy I am about my car. I don’t lend it to just anyone.” In one fell swoop you’ve said you’ll be scrutinizing the treatment during use and the condition of the vehicle upon its return. Of course, a true friend already knows better than to abuse a privilege, but it’s best to make sure, you know, since it’s your car and not theirs. Short of filling out a rental agreement, what else can you do? Well, make sure

the car is spotless inside and out, full of gas and extremely safe before you lend it out and make it very well known that that’s the condition in which you want it back. Agree on a day and a time for return, too. Anything less is an invitation for less. If it shows that you’re not concerned (“No worries, buddy . . . return it whenever.”) the borrower is unlikely to be concerned. Be honest without being insulting and don’t leave any gray areas. 2) Know your friend and act accordingly If there’s a certain person in your life who never replaces the gas they use, never cleans the vehicle, blames other people for scratches while it’s in their possession (and perhaps has yet to pay for minor collision damage from the last time they borrowed the vehicle) and rarely even says thanks, you have to call the friendship into question. Mom always said there are givers and there are takers. The takers will always take until the giver stops giving. What kind of “friend” continually takes from you? Is it fair to you to keep subsidizing their trips? If there’s a taker in your life, it’s probably time to stop giving. 3) The “acquaintance” loan You get along with your neighbour OK, but does that mean you trust him or her with your new Silverado pickup? That’s a judgment call, but when people are desperate to bring home a new boxed-up Scandinavian kitchen from Ikea, they’ll call just about anyone they know who owns a truck (I know, I’ve done it). If you want to help out but don’t really want to hand over the keys to your new truck, offer to go along for the ride. Your presence will provide piece of mind and an extra set of hands to avoid vehicular bumps and bruises. Can you say no? Of course you can, but I’m of the mindset that doing a good deed for the neighbour will earn you a return favor some day, like when you’re planning a noisy all-night birthday bash and need a little extra understanding. 4) Find out the use There’s a big difference between, “Can I borrow your new BMW for the afternoon?” and “Can I borrow your new BMW

If you own a pickup truck or a wagon, you’re a sitting duck for friends who need help moving. If it’s a short move within the city, it might make more sense to suggest picking up a rental truck, which means just one trip and a low fuel/miles bill. If you suggest this and you’re met with, “uhhh, but your vehicle is free,” then you know you’re being used because, quite frankly, it’s far from free. for the afternoon . . . to move my barbell set and then go drag racing at night?” Hey, this isn’t a no-questions-asked rental situation. You have a right to know the purpose of the loan, since it’s your vehicle, so ask. If the answer is vague, ask again. If the answer is still vague, laugh and say, “well, when you figure out what you’re doing with it, let me know”. 5) Avoid taking money “I’ll give you 50 bucks for your car for the afternoon.” If you agree, it’s open season on your ride. The amount of abuse your vehicle takes is directly proportional to the amount of cash that changes hands. If your buddy gives you $200, you can be sure he’s going to get $200 worth of “use” out of it. Conversely, trying to make a few bucks off your buddies shows an incredible lack of class. Either lend out your vehicle because you’re friends, or don’t, but leave money out of it. You can message Rhonda by logging on to www.shiftweekly.com and clicking the contact link.

Lean, mean and clean, the Grand Prix delivered impressive performance and sold in impressive numbers

RS31232.H12 ROB

imple, tasteful and elegant are words not normally associated with most cars built by North American automakers in the early 1960s. The revolutionary 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix is the exception as it became a benchmark for style and sophistication. Before its arrival, the personal-luxury category was dominated and even outright owned by the second-generation Ford Thunderbird that was introduced in 1958. That year marked the beginning of the four-seater ’Bird, a larger but eminently more practical version of the two-seat original. Ford’s product research had earlier concluded that Thunderbird sales would significantly increase if more room could be found for more passengers. After all, it was the 1950s, a time of rapid expansion across the land, including an explosion of multi-member families (more children). The larger Thunderbird provided mom and dad with a place to stash the kids, but retained its sporty image by lowering the suspension, keeping the lines relatively free of chrome and stuffing a 300-horsepower V8 under the hood. The result was predictable. Sales of the ’58 Thunderbird were nearly double those of the 1957 model, despite a price increase of more than $200 for a hardtop and $500 for the convertible. Over the next two years, the number of units sold soared even higher. In the automobile business, one manufacturer’s success story is another manufacturer’s opportunity. Over at General Motors, the ever-rising number of Thunderbirds cruising the highways did not go unnoticed and the race was on to develop a similar vehicle. An all-new design had been created by GM’s styling department and was slated to go into production as the premium-priced 1963 Buick Riviera. In the meantime, Pontiac’s engineering department was given the go-ahead to develop a similar, albeit less-expensive alternative, dubbed the Grand Prix. Their starting point was the existing 120-inch-wheelbase chassis (305 centimetres) and most of the basic body shell from the popular Catalina hardtop coupe. A special heavy-duty suspension developed for the car slightly reduced ground clearance, but improved handling. All of the Catalina’s side trim was deleted, replaced by a small chrome Grand Prix badge attached to the door and a set of stylish chrome rocker moldings. The front grille and rear panel between the tail lights was also unique to the Grand Prix. A variety of normally extra-cost items were also added to every Grand Prix, including air conditioning, cruise control, vinyl-covered bucket seats, a floor console, tachometer, dual exhausts and power steering, brakes and windows. As a final touch, the Grand Prix was available with a spec-

l i n e s gran d

pri x

tacular looking set of 14-inch Kelsey-Hayes aluminum wheels that were each attached to the hubs using eight lug nuts. To make the Grand Prix run as fast as it looked, a 303-horsepower 389-cubic-inch OHV V8 with a four-barrel carburetor was housed between the front fenders. Additional tread-melting torque was available in the form of a 318horsepower “Tri-power” 389 (three two-barrel carbs), or a high-performance 389-cube “Trophy V8” that delivered either 333 or 348 horsepower depending on the carburetor setup. For a vehicle weighing nearly two tons, the Grand Prix could generate some impressive acceleration numbers with the hottest version sprinting to 60 mph (96 km-h) in less than seven seconds. Three transmission choices were available to Grand Prix buyers: a base three-speed manual; optional four-speed manual; or a three-speed automatic. Creating the car from an existing design meant the 1962 Grand Prix was able to beat the Buick Riviera to the sales floor by one year. But the real ace up its sleeve was the attractive price. At an entry point of less than $3,500, the car cost about $700 less than the Thunderbird. Personal luxury with affordability had arrived at Pontiac. New-car shoppers went wild for the value-laden Grand Prix, snapping up some 30,000 examples in its first year. Suddenly, the Grand Prix became the car to own, or to be seen in. Encouraged by its initial success, Pontiac’s image shapers planned an even more dramatic car for 1963. A new and exclusive formal roofline with a concave rear window was grafted onto the Catalina’s body while what appeared to be fog lights (they were actually signal lamps) gave the car some added Euro flavour. A 370-horsepower 421-cubic-inch engine also became the top dog under the hood. The result was predictable. Sales of the ’63 Grand Prix more than doubled its 1962 counterpart. In the 40-plus years since first being created, the Grand Prix name became a mainstay of the Pontiac fold, with breakthrough designs that stayed true to the idea of sporty looks and solid performance. However, V8 engines eventually gave way to V6s and front-wheel-drive in the 1980s and ’90s and the once-proud Grand Prix, along with the Pontiac division of General Motors, became the victim of generic styling, corporate downsizing and brand rationalizing. Today, the Pontiac brand is gone, but the 1962-’63 Grand Prix reminds us of a time when cars made our pulses race and our eyes widen.

A fresh take on the minivan . . . from Europe? Yes, indeed.

By malcolm gunn

N

www.wheelbasemedia.com

owhere in Ford’s press or promotional literature will you see the 2014 Transit Connect Wagon referred to as a minivan. But one walk around this big-roofed rig with its dualsliding side doors and up to seven-passenger seating capacity is enough to confirm that “minivan” is the most relevant designation, even if it’s from Europe. The TC Wagon, which arrives in late 2013, is the junior-sized civilian offshoot of a series of new windowless commercial-vans heading to North America from Ford’s factory in Spain. Size-wise, it falls into the compact class, which means it’s significantly smaller than more traditional minivans from Chrysler, Toyota and Honda. In fact, a more direct comparison to the Mazda5 might work best. Unlike the Mazda, the TC Wagon will be offered in five- and seven-passenger sizes, separated by about 41 centimetres in overall length and in distance between the front and rear wheels. The pair replaces the original five-passenger Transit Connect van that arrived for the 2010 model year. In terms of size, that model was about mid-point between the two newbies. The retiring Transit Connect’s tall body was always better suited for work-van duty, while the new Transit Connect Wagon’s stylish sheetmetal seems far more car-like in looks and in application. In fact, it represents a long-overdue departure from the classic minivan shape that has been the norm since Chrysler revolutionized the segment three decades ago. The five-passenger TC Wagon’s just-right size is more aesthetically pleasing, but for larger families the elongated seven-seat version will likely get the nod. Both are finished off as well as any other members of Ford’s compact fleet, including the Focus sedan and hatchback and Escape small utility vehicle. With three distinct trim levels — XL, XLT and Titanium — the TC Wagon can be spiced up just about any way you want, from utilitarian basic to full-on premium class transporter with leather seat coverings, kingsize panoramic glass roof, a navigation system with 6.5inch (16.5-centimetre) screen, fancy wheels, upgraded sound system and other niceties. Also available is SYNC with MyFord Touch, which is the automaker’s latest voice-controlled infotainment and communications system, plus your selection of either cargo-van-style

What you should know The dash layout is pretty basic, possibly for the sake of keeping the base price down. Pretty groovy seat fabric, too, although leather is available.

The most interesting styling cue is the threefoot-tall taillights and the circuit-board themed corner radii of the windows. Ironically, perhaps, there is no electric or hybrid version. side-hinged rear doors, or a more traditional liftgate. In either case, the split-folding second-row — and the dual fore-and-aft-sliding third-row seats found in extended models — can be flattened for maximum stowage. The TC Wagon will accommodate up to 545 kilograms of cargo and tow up to 910 kilograms. Think personal water craft or ATV here. Along with its compact silhouette, the TC Wagon promises to maintain a solid grip on fuel consumption by way of its engines. The starting point is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder, while a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder “EcoBoost” powerplant is optional. Ford has yet to announce specific outputs, but since both are available in other Ford models, you can assume that the base 2.5 will likely deliver about 165 horsepower and 170 poundfeet of torque, while the 1.6 turbo-four should earn a 170/184 rating. Power is directed to the front wheels through a sixspeed automatic transmission that has been specifically tuned for in-city driving, although it’s also geared for maximum highway efficiency. Seeing as Ford is boasting better than 6.0 l/100 km highway rating for the turbo, 9.0 l/100 km in the city and 6.1 on the highway is a reasonable guess with the base 2.5 being a touch thirstier. Far from being just a cargo van with added windows and seats, the Transit Connect Wagon is nothing short of a fully turned-out utility hauler. Ford is keeping the starting prices to itself for now, but you’ll likely be able to drive a short-wheelbase model off the lot for about $27,500 which would put the longer model at close to $30,000. The TC Wagon represents a breakthrough of sorts in the minivan field, even if, categorically speaking, Ford would rather you refer to it as something other than a minivan.

Note that the seven-passenger model is just that; not “seven passengers and their luggage.” The fivepassenger model is about 41 centimetres shorter, but why not leave the length for extra cargo room?

usefulness as a people and cargo carrier is unquestionably a clever move. Wagon’s styling makes a bold statement. ☛ If you can live with the smaller dimensions and powerplants, it will reward you with good fuel economy. ☛ Full-load trim levels add a luxury element. ☛ An AWD option would round it out. ☛ Copycats will likely follow. ☛ Seriously, Ford couldn’t think of a shorter name?
