tion and picture ever printed since the early 1950s. It was old-fashioned romance that lured Buyck into her 61-year-old love affair with the motorcycle. Her first husband, Ernie Jansen, rode a bike with a small blue light on the back. Buyck would watch for it faithfully on Broadway Avenue after school. “We used to hang out on the corner of Broadway and Ninth Street,” said Buyck, reflecting on her teenage years in Saskatoon. “We’d go to the Red Robin Cafe for a Coke and walk by the boys sitting on their motorcycles, sometimes more than once.” She

married the boy with the blue light on his bike and went on to have three sons. Darlene and Ernie became integral to the foundation and longevity of the Prairie Dusters motorcycle club. She and Ernie divorced after 20 years. She married twice more, also to motorcyclists. “Of course they were,” she said with faux outrage when asked. “If they weren’t bikers I wasn’t interested.” Today Buyck has dedicated a room of her home to her motorcycling awards, pictures (Continued on page 4)

almost touching the helmet on it. I am sure a look of shock and fear came over my face. Here was my beautiful bride standing next to a bike belonging to a Hells Angel — with him standing just metres away. “This can’t be a good thing,” I thought. “What are you doing?” I said in a squeaky, scaredy-cat voice. “I wonder if we should have had Darlene sit like this for the picture,” she said matter of factly, again reaching toward the bike. I thought about running. Then I thought about fighting. One Hells Angel I could handle. Two or more would be problematic. I thought again about running. “That bike belongs to a Hells Angels guy, and he is standing behind us,” I said in a scaredy-scaredy-cat voice. “I am going to take a wild guess here and say he doesn’t like people touching his bike.” Sandy turned toward me and rolled her eyes with a “whatever” look on her face. In hindsight, I am surprised she didn’t ask him to pose for a photo. Scaredy cat.

ean Pion and Doug Luciuk are hoping to keep the next generation of filmmakers in Saskatchewan. Too many creative young minds are leaving the province for training and too many aren’t coming home. Come January, the founders and owners of the Recording Arts Institute of Saskatoon (RAIS) are adding a motion-picture program to their two-year-old audio engineering school. “We want to try to keep some of our youth here,” Pion said. “In previous years before the school, it was kind of a picking ground. All the other schools in Canada advertise heavily, and students would fly in all kinds of different directions out of Saskatchewan. I think our school has helped keep some of the talented young minds here.” Pion comes from a musical family that helped set his career path. “My brothers and I had our own little band. We started tape recording with just a ghetto blaster, pushing record and overdubbing it.”

The reel deal

Motion-picture program aims at keeping filmmakers in Saskatchewan

From there he played and toured with a local band (the Dalai Lamas) before settling into writing music, including for a show called Landing on SCN. Pion met Luciuk at Sharp’s Audio Visual, where the two were asked by Ryan Lockwood of Hugo Films to do all the sound editing and music for a season of Landing. “That was kind of the beginning of our company,” Pion said. “We ended up doing 65 episodes of the television series, more commercials than I can count, short film, feature-length film.” During that time they had recent graduates from out-of-province audio-engineering schools coming in looking for jobs. “We would sit down and say, ‘well, let’s see what you can do on the software.’ And they would sit down and have no clue what they were doing,” Pion said. “We thought there was something wrong there. We thought this is not right. So we thought we would do this.

“It started forming about four years ago. We started planning the idea. And after a myriad of fired hoops advanced education made us jump through, we got our registration and our designation, and we are eligible for student loans.” RAIS became a reality. Now 18 months after the provincial government removed the film tax credit, the two are forging ahead with a motion-picture program at their school. Luciuk, an audio specialist, said being involved with the school was a natural fit for him. A self-described music nut, he had to take his training in audio engineering at the Pacific Audio Visual Institute in Vancouver. Why not something in his hometown? “There were no options for the creativeminded person as opposed to going to university or going to SIAST. I am proud that Saskatoon has a place for the creative mind in audio visual and where they can get into filmmaking. They don’t have to go to Vancouver; they don’t have to pay

$50,000 a year to do it.” The audio school (opened in July 2011) holds two sessions a year, with one beginning in January and the other in July. It will be the same with the film school. Ten students are admitted each term for the audio school, while the film program will have eight students. “It not about packing them in and knocking them through as quickly as we can,” Pion said. “That takes away from what we are trying to do. “We have an invested interest in the industry here, having been musicians all this time and having worked in the film industry now for years. It is about creating this industry back up to where we know and believe it can be with the talent we have seen and know is coming out.” The two were disappointed when the provincial government removed the tax credit for movie makers but have moved on. “That’s in the past now,” Luciuk said. “We mourned it and we have to try to

move on with it and build something. Kids still want to tell their stories; they want to make films here.” Pion said the school has a new way of developing filmmakers. “We are teaching a model of lower or no-budget filmmaking: with a minimal crew and still utilizing the new technology and the medium of the Internet to create and share their work to a broader base. “With the advent of all the incredible camera gear that is out there, it is amazing what you can do. It is amazing what a little creativity and a really nice camera can do. They can buy a $3,000 camera and that is all they would need to make potentially a feature-length film. It takes that dedication and that passion to make this happen.” If you are not passionate and dedicated you need not apply for the school, the owners said. To help ensure they get the type of people they want, students are interviewed before being accepted. (Continued on page 5)

Home a shrine to 61 years of biking (Continued from page 1)

Darlene Buyck recently rode to Medicine Hat (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) “It’s just amazing,” she said, looking out the front window onto the horizon. “I’ve ridden thousands of miles, either with a partner or by myself.” Those years haven’t been entirely incidentfree. Buyck once spent nine days in an American hospital after being struck by a fellow motorcyclist who wasn’t paying attention to the road. She believes riders are far less safe today than they were 50 years ago. “You didn’t have crotch-rockets then,” she explained. “You rode at a pace you were comfortable with, on a bike you were comfortable with. Today, it’s all about the speed and the flash. Other drivers just aren’t paying attention anymore either.” None of Buyck’s three sons have continued her motorcycling tradition. “They don’t want mom riding and mom doesn’t want them riding,” she laughed, citing texting and distracted driving as what she considers a major safety hazard to today’s motorcyclist. She does, however, support the notion that loud motorcycle pipes save motorcyclists lives, alerting other drivers to their presence. “We used to ride to the outskirts of Saskatoon, stop and take the tip off our mufflers, then roar up the highway,” she said, reminiscing. “Then we’d get back to the city limits, dismount to put it backML41275.i23 on and quietly make our way back through theMary city.”

and memorabilia. A stack of teddy bears in leather and studs line one shelf, and a half-finished afghan in the Harley Davidson colours of orange, black and white sits with her knitting in the corner. Her awards date back to the 1960s. The most recent, for Oldest Female, was awarded to her in July at the United Motorcycle Club International rally in Medicine Hat. It was a five-hour solo motorcycle ride on her Yamaha 650 from Warman to the Alberta rally. And only six months since the completion of her double mastectomy. But she loved every minute of it. Buyck is candid about her battle with breast cancer, wanting to ensure other women are as aware as possible about their own risk. “I don’t know why I got it,” she said. “They say one in six women will get breast cancer, so I guess I took the hit for five other women. But I want to talk about it for the awareness.” Her characteristic warmth and humour fills the room. “I was at an auction where they were raising funds for breast-cancer research, and I stood up and yelled, ‘Spend your money or I’ll show you!’” said Buyck, laughingly making a motion to pull up her Sturgis T-shirt. “At my age there was no point of having reconstructive surgery. Who knows how much time I have left?” Age doesn’t hold Buyck back from much. She pulls up the sleeve of her T-shirt to reveal a tattoo of an eagle with the words Born To Ride across her bicep. “I got this tattoo five years ago when my first great-grandchild was born.” Pictures of her beloved children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and step-grandchildren dot the fridge. Framed photos of her son, George Jansen, a successful Saskatchewan golfer, hold a place of honour above her sofa. Standing in front of her trophy wall,

Buyck sighs, satisfied, as she takes in the memories of a life lived on the open road. “I rode the Three Flags Rally,” she said proudly, pointing to a plaque on the wall confirming the fact. “It starts at the Mexican border and ends in Canada, with checkpoints along the way.” From there Buyck moves into a story about the legendary longdistance ride, staying in an American roadside hotel and having the television stolen from her room by fellow riders. Buyck’s life has indeed been full, both professionally and recreationally. She worked for the federal government in public works, moving from human resources to property management prior to her retirement. “After my second husband passed away, I needed to get out of Saskatoon,” she said. Buyck is her second husband’s surname and is pronounced “bike,” the reason she’s kept it ever since. “He was the sweetest man on Earth, just a gem. Meeting him, it was like somebody dumped a puzzle out in front of me and all the pieces fell into place. Losing him so suddenly took the wind out of me. I just wanted to disappear.” Buyck didn’t get her wish. A woman who loves people who love her right back, life in Warman soon became just as busy as it was in Saskatoon. In addition to riding to and from motorcycle rallies across Canada and the United States, she has dedicated much of her life to service groups such as the Elks and to serving on local and provincial parks and recreational boards. She was also a councillor for the Town of Warman and has served three times as electoral officer for the provincial Martensville constituency. “I don’t want you to think I’ve only ever been just a biker chick,” she said with a laugh, standing next to the “Alderman” desktop marker sitting on a shelf in her living room. But what a biker chick she is, even once performing as a trick rider.

The stigma surrounding motorcycle gangs and violence doesn’t faze Buyck. “Never, ever have we had a problem. They keep to themselves and we leave them alone. In fact, I feel kind of embarrassed for them,” she explained. “I don’t think most of them aren’t nearly as tough as they think they are.” Buyck shares a story of hearing a rumble behind her on the highway, and realizing it was the British Columbia chapter of the Hells Angels. “It was like poetry in motion,” she said, describing the incredibly tight formation of the biker gang’s cavalry of riders traveling side by side, or “handlebar to handlebar” as Buyck remembers. Buyck doesn’t hesitate when asked what she loves most about riding motorcycles. “It’s a feeling like you’ll never ever get anywhere else,” she said. “You can see all around you, you see so much more than in a vehicle. The feeling of the air, the sights, and the friends you make — it’s magic.” She has no plans to quit riding anytime soon, either. “They’ll have to bury me on this bike,” she said. The friendships Buyck has made across North America are her treasures. “Bikers look after each other,” she said. “When I’m riding to a rally I never worry about getting back. The main thing is to get there.”

Audio grads finding jobs (Continued from page 3)

“We make them understand — and you may pop a dream or two along the way — in this industry you have to be self-motivated and make it happen for yourself,� Luciuk said. “It’s not coming to you; you have to go for it. “You have to be a hard worker to have any chance to succeed. There are students last term that understood that right away. They are out there every weekend meeting people and they are working in the industry.� Pion said graduates from the audio program are finding jobs. “Each kid has a dream of working in a studio and working with big-name acts, but that’s a process. We teach them how to use the tools, but it is a matter of several more years of honing those skills afterwards that comes into play. It’s helping them build their portfolio here and instructing them how to keep working. “All our graduates have access to the studio. Our weekends are booked by graduates, bringing in bands and doing their first jobs. They are paying jobs so they didn’t have to go out and get a bunch of gear. A lot of students will start by working at an audio-visual company, but it’s still doing similar things. It’s a job that’s almost guaranteed when they come out because they are always looking for people. “Slowly they are working on little projects and eventually they are doing more and more projects. And they might be able to cut out their part time job and make it a fulltime thing. That is how we did it.� There are still openings for the first semester of the motion-picture program. “We encourage students first and foremost to come and visit us,� Pion said. “Bring their parents. Visit the facility. We treat that as both a tour and an interview. That is the first step. We have small class sizes; we have a lot of applicants. So we are very choosy because we are so small and need to have quality kids coming out.� For more information, visit www.rais.ca.

leaving the landscape

fter more than 30 years brightening the Saskatoon landscape, Heather Doran and Gale Henderson have mixed emotions about closing the doors of the Cory-Parke Greenhouse. The solid, unassuming Preston Avenue building perched just off Circle Drive has housed the greenhouse and retail store since 1970. Once totally on the outskirts of Saskatoon, today the neighbourhood of Stonebridge threatens to swallow the building completely. Heavy equipment sits on a lot adjacent to the greenhouse, while new construction is visible in every direction. The face of the area has changed greatly since Doran’s mother and father, Gale and Marvin Henderson, brought Marvin’s dream of owning a greenhouse to life. After Marvin’s passing in 1999, Gale and her daughter Heather kept the family business alive. Now the land has been sold, and the building is slated for demolition. “We made the decision to close in August of this year,� said Doran. “Our last day will be October 31. Unfortunately we’re not relocating. This is it.� Marvin’s legacy still permeates the business, making closing an even more difficult decision for Doran and Henderson. “It’s bittersweet,� said Doran. “It’s sad to see the business go; it’s so much more than just a workplace for all of us. It has a lot of our dad in it. This was his dream as a young boy, to own his own greenhouse. He had a horticulture degree and just loved growing.� The decision to close was made as a family.

Tip of the Week

“Unfortunately criminals tend to ‘follow the money,’ and when a city like Saskatoon is booming these individuals feel entitled to their piece of the pie. In many cases it is difficult to track and stay ahead of these creative bandits. The best practice is to follow your gut instinct and do your homework.� – Jason Yochim, Executive Officer, Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORSŽ.

taxpayers save 30 million bucks. Although I may not often agree with Mayor Don Atchison, he gets two thumbs up for recognizing the folly of a request to spend $30 million on a limited use bridge.

that actually work to the benefit of the public. Unlike many other cities, and thanks to the vision of councils of yesteryear, Saskatoon’s core is surrounded by parkland which is well-used during the summer months but is relatively vacant during the winter months. As for more festival space, River Landing was designed for that very purpose. So was the Farmers’ Market area. The downtown parks are well suited and used for public gatherings. Bridges have and can be closed for special events. We are not Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto or Montreal. We are not an ancient European city. We are a growing, mid-sized Prairie city with an insufficient tax base to support the wants of a small percentage of residents. If council wants to re-visit this decision, then let all residents have a say. Through a plebiscite ask the $30-million question: Do you want 1) a full service bridge? 2) a bike/pedestrian bridge? 3) no bridge at all? On a city wide vote I’m betting number three wins, and

A Chernobyl prize Persephone Theatre play a fusion of laughter, romance, radiation “

T

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

here are three things in life that will inevitably bring a special glow to your face: laughter, romance and nuclear radiation.” That’s how Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre describes its 2013-2014 season-opening play: Vancouver playwright Aaron Bushkowsky’s My Chernobyl. Persephone Theatre launched its season last week with My Chernobyl, a comedy focusing on an everyman Canadian named David, who has been tasked with delivering an inheritance to a distant cousin in Belarus. “The fun part of it is you get to watch this poor Canadian, who is more like the rest of us than you’d like to admit, go on this wild ride,” said Will Brooks, director of My Chernobyl and artistic associate at Persephone Theatre. Brooks admits it’s a rewarding challenge to have the change to direct a comedy. “It gives you a chance to go to town on these funny themes that are really ridiculous,” he said. “Then in a heartbeat, switch to something that is really beautiful and

(Left to right) Pamela Haig Bartley, Elizabeth Nepjuk, Joshua Beaudry, Blaine Hart star in My Chernobyl (Photo by Stephen Rutherford) wonderful, then switch back again.” The biggest challenge Brooks faces directing My Chernobyl is making sure the audience joins the actors on that journey.

This season at Persephone

Chelsea Hotel — The Songs of Leonard Cohen The music and lyrics of Leonard Cohen thread through this tale of a writer haunted by memories of his love life. Conceived and Directed by Tracey Power A Firehall Arts Centre Production Oct. 30 to Nov. 17 The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon by W.O. Mitchell Small-town shoemaker and avid curler Wullie makes a deal with a devil to win the Brier. Nov. 27 to Dec. 15 Strawberries in January by Evelyne de la Chenelière Love, coincidence and seductive comedy for the romantically challenged. Translated by Morwyn Brebner Jan. 22 to Feb. 9

“This is a great group of actors not afraid to jump in with both feet,” he said. “It becomes this really interesting challenge, determining which way we’re going to go at any given moment. You have to craft that to really bring the audience along with you. When something is this ridiculous, you’ve got to make sure the audience is biting.” Brooks says the beauty of theatre is that it’s never the same group of people in the room — the six people on the stage might be the same, but the audience never is. “The actors have to gauge the audience’s reaction on any given night,” said Brooks. “To work your way through that and have that kind of unspoken conversation is really what comedy is all about. A great set of comedic actors can ride that.”

LS906267.I23 LIZA

Persephone Theatre’s My Chernobyl runs in Rawlco Radio Hall until Oct. 6. Shows are nightly at 8 p.m., except Mondays. There are matinee shows on Sundays and Wednesday Sept. 25 at 2 p.m. My Chernobyl is geared towards a mature audience, but with no content that a young person couldn’t watch. “We’ve got some really veteran, topnotch Saskatchewan actors that people will have seen before, some brand new Saskatchewan actors and some returning actors people haven’t seen for a while,” said Brooks. “We’ve got the home team on this show, who really work well together. This cast is really going to do Saskatchewan proud, that’s for sure.” Tickets ($23-$38) are available at the Persephone Theatre Box Office (3847727) or at www.persephonetheatre.org.

Red Green bringing duct-tape tour to Saskatoon

S

teve Smith never imagined that his alter-ego, Red Green, would emerge as a long-running television personality. “We introduced the Red Green character briefly during the time that my wife, Morag, and I had a television show, Smith & Smith,” Smith said. “Then when Morag decided she didn’t want to do our husband-wife show anymore, I decided to build something around Red Green, first as a summer time job in 1990. I saw the potential for the show lasting a year. “Now here we are 23 years later, and Red Green has left the TV studio and he’s on tour.” Green will perform solo comedy, How to Do Everything (From The Man Who Should Know) at TCU Place on Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. “We did a Wit and Wisdom tour with 139 shows just a while back. And then last November I started to plan this one. I’d write it down, go out to my garage where I set up a stage, rehearse, do it again and People again. Of course Red Green — the man who sees life as a little differently than anyone else in the world — was the final editor.” The character will be easily recognizable – the khaki green hat, the checkered shirt, the suspenders, the beard, the voice which grew from a whispering tone – all of which were prime attributes to a man who spent his TV days in Possum Lodge amidst a remarkable cast of characters. Smith and Rick Green were the creators and writers of the show which started on CHCH, Hamilton, then was picked up by Global Television and ultimately by CBC television. It also gained considerable American exposure on PBS stations. “People loved Possum Lodge. Some believed it was a vacation destination and wanted to book space. It was a place where the guys wanted to go. We even had people who wanted to get married there. “The show did have a different glimpse of life. In a way, we made fun of the service clubs because each show would end with everyone going down to the lodge meeting. We had a moral code of our own. We never received negative reactions. I’ve had girls from eight to 15 tell me they used to sit down with their dads and watch. It was a show that families could watch together.”

Red Green will perform in Saskatoon on Oct. 2 at TCU Place (Photo Supplied) It was a program that gave new meaning to duct tape. “I think there’s a little bit of handyman in all of us — some who are much better than others. Some of us had a penchant for a short cut. Duct tape was that kind of a solution; the something that gave you a 10-minute reprieve in your mission. “After two or three seasons, the hardware businesses would tell us they were selling a lot more duct tape than they ever did before.” Smith was born in Toronto and once studied engineering at the University of Waterloo. Instead he started a family sitcom, Me & Max, then got immersed in The Comedy Mill, and then Smith & Smith. There have been 300 Red Green episodes produced. Red Green also made it into the movies with the release of Duct Tape Forever. There were some priceless characters on the show.

in 1973 when he co-wrote and performed in Paper Wheat, a 25th Street production which went on a national tour. He worked in Second City with both the Edmonton and Toronto companies. “Bob was a super guy, a great actor who played Dalton Humphrey, the storekeeper, who among other things was locked in a terrible marriage,” said Smith. Patrick McKenna has enjoyed an acting career where he played many serious roles, “but he was a natural as Red’s nephew, our second banana, whose habits were quite opposite to Red’s. From his first appearance on the show, we knew we had to write him into the script on a permanent basis.” All the while Smith has been writing, and Red Green’s Beginner’s Guide to Women (For Men Who Don’t Read instructions) is due this fall, the third in a series for Random House.

Jeff has been a radio personality in Hamilton, Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo. Lumby was cast as Winston Rothschild III, who was the sewage and septic-tank technician, wearing a hard hat and white button-down shirt. “Jeff’s the kind of a vibrant guy who operates on the basis of the glass is always half full. You put him in an interesting situation and he pulls it off. Part of his dress code tells you what he really was, but he also wore a bow tie as a sign of entrepreneurial spirit. He considered himself the total promoter who knew his phone would soon be ringing.” Bob Bainborough was originally from Edmonton, but came to Saskatoon

But like any other human being, you will stumble and make giant mistakes and fail to appreciate both who and what you have.

While we were in Paris to receive the Gourmand Award, we were introduced to the warm goat cheese salads that are so popular. Yum! Once you try this, you will understand why it is such a loved menu item. Although these salads are served at gourmet restaurants and cafes, they are simple to prepare. Another wonderful benefit is that olive oil lowers your cancer risk. According to a large European study (of more than 36,000 people), those with the highest olive-oil intake lowered their odds of getting any type of cancer. Olive oil was especially beneficial to lower breast and digestive-system cancer risks. It is unclear whether olive oil’s monounsaturated fats (omega 9) or its antioxidants are responsible for these benefits.

You won't feel it in your car, but you will hear it on the sidewalks, in the new coffee shops and delis, and in newly constructed or renovated housing and stores. We now have momentum. The 12 condominiums at Mosaic are sold and construction isn't yet complete. And that is creating more buzz for The Edge with 16 townhouses under construction with strong interest. That is confidence in Riversdale. The recent approval by city council for "The Banks - Riversdale" as envisioned by Victoria developer Chris Le Fevre and architect Joost Bakker is a great step forward for Saskatoon. Bakker, who was involved with Granville Island, has created the much needed link from the river to 20th Street West.

It's kind of like feeling a cell phone vibrating on a table at a meeting — you feel the buzz but aren’t sure where it is coming from as you look around. Riversdale is very much the same. The vibe is out there and people are looking here. I could write at great lengths about things that are attracting businesses and homeowners here. Things like the availability of parking or all-day rates, property taxes, the cost of land or buildings, proximity to the river and to the Farmers' Market. There are opportunities awaiting those who want to participate rather than speculate. But there is only one thing that is truly attracting people here now that others want to be near: creative minds.

Giunta (a mezzo soprano) and John Brancy (a baritone). He was handsome and charming in his tuxedo — sexy personified — and she wore a beautiful periwinkle gown with a plunging back that flowed as she moved on stage, red shoes carrying her gracefully. Together they were unbelievable, playful, teasing and very seductive. It was about this time that I had to remind myself that I was at the opera. A duet performance was breathtaking. One of the bonuses to a symphony ticket is that you can use your stub to get in free to the Saskatoon Jazz Society’s Bassment the same evening. I caught the last set and finished the evening with a little jazz in my soul. Sophia Perlman was performing, along with her husband, Adrian Faruggia, at piano. Ending her performance with an amazing rendition of Paul Simon’s Diamonds in the Souls of my Shoes, Perlman showed the audience that while from Toronto, she was very at home in Saskatoon. Walking back to the car was easy. It wasn’t even midnight, the streets were well- lit and before I knew it I had floated across the bridge, the music of the evening being the wind beneath my wings. As I landed on the other side I thought of the lovely evening I had just experienced — fresh air, the natural artistry of our riverbank and symphonic sounds christened by operatic vocals. All topped off by the sultry, smooth sounds of Perlman’s jazz vocals. Yes, I could do this in any urban centre. But not as easily, as cheaply or as intimately as I could in Saskatoon. It was perfect.

Test your endurance with the Golden Triangle: a 310-kilometre cycling loop that crosses the Great Divide and takes in Radium Hot Springs, Lake Louise and Field. For families, the scenic Rotary Trails in Golden are ideal for sightseeing and exploring. Hiking: With six national parks on Golden’s doorstep, hiking options abound. In fall you’ll easily get away from the crowds. Yoho National Park, for example, has short hikes to scenic overlooks like Paget Peak and Takakkaw Falls or around Emerald Lake, as well as longer treks into the park’s lower alpine region. Walk with the wolves: At Golden’s wolf conservation and education facility, Northern Lights Wolf Centre, visitors learn about wolf behaviour as they watch six gray wolves interact with one another. ATV Tours: Taking an all-terrain vehicle or quad tour provides great access to the backcountry. Thanks to Golden’s lumber-industry history, there is a nearly endless network of forestry service roads leading to spectacular landscapes that are difficult to access. Farmers’ Market: The Golden Farmers’ Market takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays in summer. It moves indoors and goes monthly from October to May. Local suppliers bring fresh fruit and vegetables, honey, artisan breads and homemade pies. Golden food scene: Golden has a thriving culinary scene with a handful of high-end restaurants that deliver creative dishes inspired by local ingredients. Also available are wine lists that celebrate B.C.’s best wineries and craft beers. For an update on activities, festivals and events, visit Tourism Golden at www.tourismgolden.com.

from years of smoking in the galleys of navy ships. The day I revealed this to him, I was met with the expected flood of tears from his wife. Bill, initially stunned, recovered quickly with: “I knew you’d find out what was wrong with me. You’re the best, Doc.” Then he asked, “Doc, how long do I have?” Not long. The next week he returned with his Disneyland-bound sisters who decided they would take him to his heaven on earth before he was taken to his heaven off earth. “I’ve always wanted to go to Disneyland, Doc. Can I go?” I told him he shouldn’t delay the trip. “I won’t take any really long rides, Doc. How about a hug?” The cancer did the usual lung cancer thing and spread voraciously. It was killing Bill too quickly. There is no miracle cure for lung cancer. Bill died. People wept. I am a people. I thought of how poor, impoverished Bill now has the same amount of money in his pocket as the kazillionaire who inevitably dies.

Back at the office there was a gift waiting for me. It was from Bill: a beautiful expensive mahogany framed picture. This gorgeous Disneyland memento adorns my wall and the wall of my heart to this day. It is a pencil sketch of one of the seven dwarfs. You guessed it — Doc.

Restaurants eating up parking may be hard to swallow

Q

uestion: What is your opinion on downtown restaurants closing a number of parking stalls to create outdoor patios? Mayor Atchison: This is really a question for the Downtown Partnership and local businesses. They have a vested interest in this for two reasons: parking, and creating a welcoming downtown. But since you asked, here’s my opinion. In some ways this is really wonderful because we have a healthy and vibrant downtown. Everyone is coming downtown — we have Cineplex Galaxy, Ask the along with all the entertainment and restaurants. Persephone Theatre is at River Landing and the Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan will soon be part of that. Those are wonderful things that are happening in our downtown area. We want to keep the downtown alive after five every single day. That’s really critical. If restaurants using space on streets encourages people to stay downtown after five o’clock in the afternoon, I think that is really important. And that’s one of the things I love about Saskatoon: the innovative and creative people we have here. Business owners are prepared to try different things. Q: Does this make more sense given food trucks can take a number of parking stalls? Mayor Atchison: That’s an excellent question. If the food trucks are there taking parking stalls, and restaurateurs want to participate in the beautiful summer we had from July on and encourage people to stay or come downtown to enjoy the ambiance, I think they have a good case to make. But I think the bottom line is this is an issue

the Partnership needs to come to grips with. Question: A group gathered recently hoping plans for the new Traffic Bridge can be changed to remove vehicles from the project. Is it too late for a change such as that? Mayor Atchison: Council on two occasions now has voted to say it is going to be for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. This is going to be an inclusive location, not exclusive. It is very similar to what we have done on Circle Drive North and Circle Drive South bridges. It is exMayor ceedingly important for people to realize there are going to be two decks (one on each side of bridge) that will to be three metres wide (for cyclists and pedestrians). We have also made the bridge wider for vehicles, and there will be “share arrows” on the vehicle lanes so cyclists will be able to use the bridge deck as well. Also critical in this are the emergency vehicles. We have to make sure our emergency first responders (police, fire and ambulance) can get to where they need to be as quickly as possible. And we need to use this bridge for buses too. We also want to be environmentally friendly. Think of all the exhaust emissions that come from vehicles that are stuck in traffic while they wait to get on the Broadway Bridge or the University Bridge because traffic is backed up. When the Traffic Bridge is open we can reduce those emissions by moving vehicles more efficiently. On top of that, if we want to have 10,000 more people living downtown and 10,000 people living in the new City Yards area, that is 20,000 additional people. We

want everyone to be able to get in and out of the downtown area to work, to play and to live. We want to make it as easy as possible for all modes of transportation. Question: I find the exit from Circle Drive (heading North) at 22nd Street to be confusing. It doesn’t seem to be clearly marked. It is one of the most important exits on the new Circle Drive section, yet it seems to sneak up and doesn’t have the feel of a major freeway exit. Can anything be done? Mayor Atchison: It sneaked up on me. I went right by it! I am told the administration is working on it right now putting the

proper signage in place. Last fall we talked about opening sections of Circle Drive South and we decided it would not be safe because we didn’t have all the signage and line painting in place. You can see even after opening it we are still putting signs up like the ones that were recently put on Preston Avenue, Highway 11 and 16. So yes, something can be done and is being done about it.

getting that synching feeling • Torben Rolfsen, on a woman claiming to be Miss Uzbekistan competing in the Miss World pageant, despite the Muslim country officially stating it doesn't hold a national beauty pageant and has never heard of her: “Someone needs to set up a phone date between this woman and Manti Te'o.â€? • A British man was convicted of wounding with intent to cause serious injury after a jury heard how the nearly toothless defendant bit and gnawed on a neighbour’s penis after the victim sent him a text asking him to turn down his music. The victim, who required stitches on his penis after the fight, told the jury he has never experienced that kind of pain to this day and doesn’t want to experience it ever again. I’m thinking the man must have been playing Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel), The Lemon Song (Led Zeppelin) or My Ding-a-ling (Chuck Berry). • Janice Hough, on NASA looking for participants in a test study to help them find out how the human body reacts to 70 days in a bed rest position: “The first questions from most potential male volunteers: ‘Do we get our own remotes and how many channels?’â€? • From TC Chong: “North Korean border guards shot to death a South Korean man who tried to swim to North Korea. He would have made it had he been wearing a Dennis Rodman jersey.â€? • Google is forming a company that’s goal will be to try to extend human life. I’m thinking it should be named after Keith Richards. • A judge has ruled that a Tennessee couple can name their child Messiah. The judge first rejected the couple’s request to name their child Brian Burke. • Hough, on Trent Richardson saying he’s excited to join the Indianapolis Colts: “That’s a much more positive response than ‘thank gawd I am out of Cleveland.’â€? • Chong, on Jerry Seinfeld being signed as a commentator for New York Mets games: “What’s the deal with that? I thought the comedy at games was the Mets on the field.â€? • Kate Moss will pose nude for Playboy Magazine’s 60th anniversary issue. It’s like Hugh Hefner says: “Old stones gather Moss.â€? • From Chong: “As each week passes we get closer to the day when Johnny Manziel signs his autograph for real money. Too bad it will be on a contract with the Jaguars or Browns.â€? • Two comments on a teacher in England giving birth to her child while in class. 2. Now that’s a show and tell; 1.

• Philadelphia fans cheered former coach Andy Reid in the first quarter, then booed him in the second. Not exactly unexpected; he was a fat guy dressed in red. • Astronomers at Maryland Science Centre say the upcoming chance to see Comet ISON occurs once in a lifetime. Or slightly more often than the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup. • Brazilian soccer club Aparecidens got a disputed win after their massage therapist ran into the net to make two key saves. Now there’s a guy I’d want in a rubber match. • A power failure caused a 40-minute delay during a recent Selah (Wash.) highschool football game. Electricians blame the outage on an execution in Texas. • Do Quebec patients see cardiologists for a poutine checkup? • Impact coach Marco Schallibaum said Montreal’s 0-fer 2013 record against Columbus is one of the hardest things to explain. Oh yeah? Try explaining twerking to a grandparent. • A N.Y. man who lost two fingers in a crocodile attack while golfing is suing a Cancun resort for $2.25 million. He is alleging negligence. Does that make him an allegator? • Edmonton coach Kavis Reed said the Bombers are “constructing their team the same as the Eskimos.â€? Meaning what? They’ve both working in the basement? • Theresa Vail became the first Miss America contestant to display tattoos,

lip-synch at the Planet Hollywood hotel in Las Vegas for the next two years. • From Hough: “Who says the NFL isn’t looking out for the common man? The league said 40 per cent of tickets to this year’s Super Bowl will be under $1,000.â€? • Bill Littlejohn, on a case study revealing a man seemed intoxicated for five years because excess yeast in a man's stomach was turning carbs into alcohol: “Just before he finished his participation in the study, Jimmy Haslam traded Trent Richardson to the Colts." • Littlejohn, on the same topic: “The day after they traded Richardson, the Browns signed Willis McGahee. That's like the Red Sox signing Home Run Baker the day after selling Babe Ruth." • From Chong: “What’s the deal with e-cigarettes? Can someone come up with e-rum and Coke or beer so I don’t have to pay $9 or more for one at a sporting event? • Hough, on a South Carolina woman being arrested for allegedly injuring her housemate with knives because he REAL REAL wouldn’t stop playing Eagles music: “Good thing the guy wasn’t a Justin Bieber fan or he’d be dead.â€? • Rolfsen, on the rock group KISS promoting their eponymously-named new Arena Football League team: “Let's hope they don't become a cold sore on the L.A. sporting scene.â€? • From Chong: “What’s the deal with people lining up for hours to get Grand Theft Auto 5? I’ll wait until someone leaves his copy in his car, and then I’ll steal the vehicle.â€? • Hough, on Penthouse Magazine filing for bankruptcy: “Said many women: ‘What’s Penthouse?’ Said men under 30: ‘What’s a magazine?’â€? • Chong, on Prince Harry gearing up for an Antarctic trek by subjecting himself to temperatures of minus-35 Celsius: “He To advertise today call could’ve also lived with my ex for a week ML41909.i23 for the same effect.â€?
