trucks and guards with machine guns were all over the place. “In reflection, I remember noticing from the beginning that security was lax. Anyone could walk right into the village.” The 1972 Games were the beginning of a pentathlon rivalry between Jones Konihowski, Russia’s Nadyezhda Tkachenko and Jane Frederick of the United States. In Munich, Jones Konihowski was ninth, Tkachenko 10th and Frederick 11th. When the Olympics came to Montreal in 1976 “the security was tough and unreal.” As the host country, Canada chose to develop Jones Konihowski “as a media darling, and virtually every second weekend I was caught up in a campaign — particularly selling the Canadian Olympic coin. I was a cover girl on Chatelaine magazine in July. Canadians believed I was going to win gold. I knew I should get a medal, but when I had to dig deep, there wasn’t much left in me.” On the scoreboard, Tkachenko was fifth, Jones Konihowski sixth and Frederick seventh. The momentum began building towards 1980. Jones Konihowski won the Commonwealth gold in 1978, a year where her scores were the best in the world. She and her husband, John, moved to New Zealand for four months of intense training. On April 23 the United States and Canada announced they were going to boycott the Moscow Olympics because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. “I was hurt by the decision,” she

said. “Because I spoke out against American President Jimmy Carter’s decision and subsequent support of the Canadian Olympic Association, my life was really hell. There were negatives written by people I thought were friends. There were obscene phone calls, death threats, the whole bit. I think Jimmy Carter was misinformed by his advisers and I wish I could have talked to him. You hate to see politics destroy the spirit of the games. Yes we’re competitive on the field, but we’re at peace with each other. (Continued on page 4)

That’s who and how she is. The man started writing a ticket. Is there a quota system as some have suggested? (Not that I am a name-dropper, but I will ask Mayor Atchison about it.) Anyway, Sandy stood near the man as he wrote our ticket. She wasn’t going to give him the pleasure of putting it under our windshield wiper. When he was finished, he handed it to her. Here is where the story gets fuzzy. I thought Sandy took the ticket and ripped it up. It would have been way out of character for her, I concede. She says she remembers telling him it was one that wouldn’t be paid. I remember her walking to a garbage can and depositing the scraps of paper. It would have been way out of character for her, I concede. She remembers bringing it into the van and tossing it into the glove compartment. I remember saying we would end up on a most-wanted list and never be able to return to Seattle — maybe even the entire United States. She remembers saying she was going to call a divorce lawyer. I don’t remember that.

A match made in DNA

Finding true love through your immune system

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

he man of your dreams might be tall, dark and handsome, and speak in a deep voice. But for a match made in heaven, check his immune system. Science entered the world of matchmaking last month in Saskatchewan. Toronto-based Instant Chemistry has joined forces with select matchmakers in Canada, including Express columnist Lianne Tregobov, in applying science to finding love. “We are not replacing matchmakers,” said Ron Gonzalez, a PhD in neuroscience and co-founder of Instant Chemistry. “We complement what they already do. We think we add value to their service by attacking that part of love that they can’t predict — that physical chemistry that is more an art than a science. We want to add a little bit of science to that to help better match their client.” Tregobov said Instant Chemistry sought her out as a potential partner. She first ran the idea past her 89-year-old father, a retired doctor. “I thought Dr. Skeptic, who is my daddy, would poo-poo it. He said there is validity to this and started talking about some of his friends who are scientists who have worked on different components of DNA, and he said check this out. This makes sense.” That led to Tregobov (who owns Camelot Introductions) meeting with Gonzalez and his group. “I am not going to attach my name to anything unless I feel comfortable with the players,” she said. “And I was thoroughly impressed by the entire team. Then I said ‘let’s see what kind of reception this gets.’” Gonzalez said he became fascinated with the science of relationships when he learned of a study — the Sweaty T-Shirt Experiment — done by Claus Wedekind in 1995 in Switzerland. “He asked men to wear T-shirts for a weekend. They weren’t allowed to bathe, shower or take them off. Just wear them; basically their smell would permeate through these shirts. “Then they took these shirts back and put them into canisters. The men were asked to leave, and then they asked women

to come in and rate the men based on the smell of the shirt. “Every time, they found this same amazing result. Based on smell alone they were finding women were consistently ranking men as more attractive who were more different in terms of their immune system. So there was something there. Since then almost 2,000 papers have shown the same effect and have gone deeper into the science of why that might be. “I have always been struck by that; it was always something really neat and fascinating. I always wondered: is there a way to commercialize this and get it out there to try to help people looking for love; help them find that chemistry with someone sooner and faster?” Thus the birth of Instant Chemistry. Stinky T-shirts have been replaced by DNA testing. A compatible partner can now be just a swab away. When it comes to the science of successful relationships, opposites do attract, Gonzalez said. People with vastly different immune systems tend to have better marriages, better sex lives, higher fertility rates and healthier children. He said those with different immune systems are finding each other naturally. His company is helping matchmakers use science to help clients find potential partners a new-fashioned way. “All we are doing is trying to mimic what is naturally done when you put a man and a woman in a room and they talk to each other.” Connecting people is where matchmakers such as Tregobov come in. “She tries to match people based on their needs and wants, but she can’t possibly predict whether people will have chemistry when they meet. I thought this would perfectly fit in with her service.” He cites “Tom” as an example. “If there are five different women that potentially might be great matches for Tom we will rank them from highest compatibility to lowest. If Tom is a busy person, potentially Lianne could be picking the person he is going to experience physical chemistry with faster.” Being added to Instant Chemistry’s database is simple. A person would get a kit from a matchmaker, do a cheek swab and send the tube to Instant Chemistry.

Dr. Ron Gonzalez is the co-founder of Instant Chemistry (Photo Supplied) Genotyping will be done at a lab. (The genotyping is based on three genes in the immune system that have been shown in numerous studies to be involved in physical attraction, Gonzalez said.) Privacy is paramount, he said. “Lianne would never be able to see an individual client’s DNA results. Only the client will be able to see their own results. Lianne will be able to see the ranking of score in terms of compatibility between all of her clients so she can then use that information to better match her clients.”

Tregobov will provide kits at no cost to her clients on her Oct. 24-26 trip to Saskatoon. “It won’t take much time at all. And I will have data that will allow me to establish what the DNA results are telling me and what my results are telling me,” she said. “If they coincide, what a wonderful tool.” For more information on the company visit instantchemistry.ca.

Diane Jones Konihowski was No. 1 in the world in 1975 and 1978 (Photo Supplied)

Jones Konihowski was naive about drug use (Continued from page 1) “I really thought a medal was a reality. In my dreams I saw myself on the podium with Tkachenko and Frederick. I thought a silver medal was a reality.” Two weeks after the Olympics, where Tkachenko won gold, Jones Konihowski competed at Detmold, Germany, and she beat all of the Olympic medallists. Later at an event in the United States called The Alternative Olympics, she beat Frederick. Jones Konihowski was closer to competing in the 1984 Olympics at Los Angeles than many expected. “In February I turned down a Canadian television offer to do on-site colour commentary because I thought I’d be competing. A little later I turned down a CBC offer for an in-studio assignment from Toronto, thinking I’d still be there. By June I knew I didn’t have in me. The Los Angeles games were boycotted by the Eastern nations. I often think had I gone I might have done well. But since all the best of my competition from Eastern Europe and Russia didn’t come, it wouldn’t have been the same. “I was always naïve when people talked about drugs being present at the Olympics. Yes some of my opponents were muscular, hairy types, scary-looking and mean. I never gave it a second thought until that 1980 meet in Germany. I noticed that one of the Soviets, Smirnova, had been left off the Olympic team, and I asked her why. She said she refused to go onto the drug program. “The most stunning development came after Ben Johnson’s 1988 victory in Seoul. The next morning I had a call from a reporter telling me it was still a rumour but that Johnson was about to be disqualified

because of drug use. My heart sank. It was then I knew drug use was more widespread than I imagined.” Jones Konihowski looks back and believes she was blessed to have coaches in Saskatoon like Bob Adams and Lyle Sanderson. “Bob was my coach at Aden Bowman (Collegiate). Technically he was solid. He also understood the value of weight training before most women ever did it. There was a training room in the basement of the Gathercole offices, and that’s where I started with weights. “After I went to university I was the first woman to go down that ramp and train in the weight room. Some of the men didn’t like the idea and wanted me to leave. I stayed because Bob told me it was essential to my future. “At the University of Saskatchewan I hooked up with Lyle. He’d been a crosscountry coach, and with me it was learning process. He asked questions, he studied, gave of his time enormously and became an excellent coach. I had the technique. Lyle took me to where I wanted to go.” Jones Konihowski spent 18 years on the Canadian Olympic committee and later was on two mission staffs. She and John, who was a track and field athlete and CFL receiver, were married in 1977. Their daughters, Janna, 31, and Alana, 24, both enjoyed successes in sports. Janna is married to Ryan Dubyk, originally from Hafford and now a firefighter. Six months ago, they have presented the Jones Konihowskis with their first grandchild, Juleena Joan. Alana recently earned a bachelor of commerce degree from Grant MacEwan University.

Imagine No Bullying Music stars want to inspire young people

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

ward-winning local musician Stephen Maguire and country musician Codie Prevost have teamed up with the Saskatchewan division of the Canadian Red Cross and Studio XII Music & Dance Company to take their successful Imagine No Bullying concert on tour. Kicking off Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at Mayfair United Church in Saskatoon, Maguire and Prevost will revisit the concept they launched earlier this year when they hosted a sold-out concert at the Broadway Theatre on April’s Day of Pink. The concert featured musicians such as Brad Johner, Donny Parenteau and Eileen Laverty. “We had a lot of amazing feedback after that concert. And then the phone just started ringing,” said Maguire. “Everyone wanted us to bring the concert to their community.” Maguire and Prevost knew they had to act to keep that momentum going. The tour will take them across the province — from La Ronge to Swift Current and numerous stops along the way. The duo hopes the tour will become a bi-annual event. “We’re already talking about April next year,” said Maguire. “It’s not a question of where we go, it’s of where do we not go? We’d love to go to all the schools this time around, but we’re simply running out of time.” The Red Cross is heavily involved with the tour, with a representative

joining the musicians. In addition all the proceeds from the new single recorded by Maguire and Provost (to be launched this week) will be donated to the Red Cross anti-bullying fund. Maguire cites his and Provost’s close connection with Saskatchewan communities, as well as a seemingly recent onslaught of bullying-related suicides, as reason for undertaking this project. “News is coming up everywhere about children losing their lives,” said Maguire. “It’s one of those things we feel really strongly about, just like the flood relief concerts. I felt like this needed to be done.” Growing up in Northern Ireland, Maguire is no stranger to tension and bullying. “I was bullied because of the colours I wore, because of the crest on my blazer. It was all about religion, which school I went to,” he said. “I would find myself under attack in the city centre in Belfast, beaten to within an inch of my life. I know what it’s like to be picked on.” Provost experienced similar bullying growing up in a small farming community in Saskatchewan. The tour will include a presentation during the day to the students and teachers, and a show for the parents and the community in the evening. An interactive component promises to ensure the tour leaves a lasting impression on both children and adults.

“The kids will be given a sticky note to write their ideas, anonymously, for ending bullying,” said Maguire. “This wall of positive notes from students will act as a visual to further encourage people to be aware. After the tour the notes will be presented to the Red Cross, to all of our sponsors, to say ‘here’s how many students we reached.’ We want to really encourage people to get behind us.” “Cody and I have both been fairly successful in the music community. We want to inspire people and show kids there’s another

way. There’s another path.” Maguire and Prevost’s new anti-bullying song (the name of which was not released at the time of printing) will be available on iTunes on Oct. 15. Tickets for the kickoff show are $20. They are available at McNally Robinson and via Picatic.com. The Imagine No Bullying campaign is possible in part due to partnerships with the Saskatoon Downtown Lions, SaskMusic and the Saskatchewan Country Music Association.

Canstruction Fundraiser builds inventory for food bank

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

or the second year in a row the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre has partnered with the Saskatoon branch of the Hatch engineering firm and Market Mall to bring the Canstruction fundraiser to the city. “We wanted to find a way to give back to the community and were looking for something that our employees could really grab onto,” said Wanda Froese, office administrator at Hatch and one of the lead organizers of the fundraiser. Canstruction, on display at Market Mall until Oct. 18, is the product of a collaboration between local businesses in the design and construction industry who came together to create enormous sculptures out of canned food. After the displays are torn down all the canned food items are donated to the food bank. “To have Hatch taking the lead in backing this event, combined with strong support from Market Mall, is something that our organization is very excited about,” said Laurie O’Connor, executive director for the food bank. “Last year Canstruction brought in 40,000 pounds of food for our community ... an extremely significant contribution, and we look forward to continued success this year.” Seven local businesses participated in the event this year: All North Consultants, Hitachi, March Consulting, Graham Construction, WorleyParsons, Hatch and the architectural firm AODDT. “Each business is responsible for fundraising for providing their team with the cans they need,” said Froese. “This year’s theme is Everyday Heroes. So each team was responsible for determining what kind of structure they wanted to build, then what size and kind of cans they needed, what colours to pick and so on. For example, Hatch built the Vimy Memorial, so we needed cans with white labels. However we also needed to find canned product that was useful for the food bank. It takes a bit of strategy to get the right combination.” An international fundraiser, last year Canstruction events were held in 230 cities worldwide. Saskatoon secured the number-20 spot for the most pounds of food raised. Using the Everyday Heroes theme, sculptures on offer in Saskatoon this year include a drop of blood, man’s best friend, an ode to

As long as the sculptures are on display customers at the Market Mall can vote on their favourite. The food bank also encourages the public to bring canned food items to donate in barrels located at each structure throughout the mall. With another successful year of Canstruction almost in the October Special books, Froese is already looking ahead to 2014. “We’ll meet in % % % off off off January, pick another theme and on orders over on orders over on orders over send out a call for entries.

Because really that’s a big part of it, isn’t it? We’re so damn fortunate in this province to not live in a place where senior care means Grandpa is taking your bedroom, and you’re giving him a bath tonight, whether you signed up for it or not. The recent report released by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health on long-term care facilities definitely highlights some failures in the system — not getting baths or even bathroom breaks is unacceptable. However, let’s remember that we have largely gotten ourselves into this mess: through our total aversion to the grey-haired tidal wave approaching (aging baby-boomers) and the ingrained mindset that our elderly relatives are not our problem. Something tells me that as resources continue to stretch and the need continues to grow, that mindset is going to shift significantly — whether we like it or not. (But don’t get any ideas Mom and Dad; you’re still going into a home.)

Peeling back stripper bylaw, and flights of fancy

uestion: Are you happy with the direction the proposed bylaw is going in terms of keeping strip clubs out of residential areas? Mayor Atchison: We need zoning regulations that will provide clarity. If we don’t, strip clubs can open anywhere in the city. A lot of people are saying they don’t want it next door to them. It’s been said “we don’t want any at all.” That is not an option given the provincial regulations that come into effect in January. The solution is to say bars that have live entertainment today — this is what is proposed right now and will come to the council meeting on Dec. 2 — will be allowed Ask the to have strip shows twice monthly. Question: Why is two a magic number? Mayor Atchison: I think clubs that already have live entertainment might have a case. I am not sure. I think it speaks to fairness. They have entertainment already, and this is another form of entertainment which you may agree or disagree with. Question: What is the definition of live entertainment? Mayor Atchison: It could be a band. For example, sometimes they have had mudwrestling at some of these locations. Maybe it’s a wet Tshirt night. That is something that will be defined in the bylaw by the city solicitor. Question: Why 160 metres as the distance from proposed strip clubs to residential homes? Why not 150, for example? Mayor Atchison: It goes back to pawn shops. The idea was to have one pawn shop on a block as opposed to

having them all congregated together. It has to do with the length of a city block. Or if there are two they are separated by a considerable distance. Question: Do you have anything else to add on this? Mayor Atchison: Strip clubs are not going to be near schools. We will see how it works in the City of Saskatoon, but I want to point out again that we don’t have a choice in the matter. Question: You attended the World Routes convention (which brings airlines and airport authorities together) in Las Vegas last week. What did you do to network and promote Saskatoon? Mayor Atchison: There is a lot of relationship Mayor building. Saskatoon shared a booth with Regina and Western Economic Diversification helped fund that. We had a wonderful booth. But when you looked to places like Edmonton, they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on theirs. Other countries did too. This is the big leagues; this isn’t the minor leagues. This is the first time we have been on the floor with a booth. We’ve usually gone as just a delegate. This year we were on the floor and will be again next year in Chicago. Question: Why is having a booth important? Mayor Atchison: All the booths are basically airport authorities because airline people will walk around and talk to people. It’s a little like speed dating. They have meetings that go on for 15 minutes at a time. You have all the major airlines in the world there and all the airports are looking for more air service. All the airlines are looking to make more money. It’s a scenario where you convince the

DON ATCHISON

airlines that your location is the best location for them to be. Question: Did you participate in those meetings? Will we be getting more flights in and out of the city? Mayor Atchison: I didn’t participate in the specific meetings. My role was as an “ambassador” for Saskatoon. I dealt with other airport authorities. I met with quite a few of them. It is interesting the different scenarios. For example, Brownsville, Tex., would love to see air service to Saskatoon and Winnipeg. They are looking for a charter service. They have a petition with 3,000 signatures of Canadians asking for air service. That was one of the things we dealt with. There were a couple of other cities too that were very interesting. There are always these opportunities that are out there, and if the airport authorities can get together, perhaps they can get to an airline to convince them this would be a good deal for them. Question: It’s a world event. Is it easy to get our voice heard? Mayor Atchison: The economy we have today makes it much easier, but the airlines are looking for subsidies. They’ll say, “We’ll fly to your city if you buy all the seats.” I don’t think that is a realistic solution. A realistic solution is to have shared risk. In Saskatoon we need to get to Europe directly. With Icelandic Air flying now to Edmonton, perhaps they can fly from Saskatoon as well. Quite frankly I think there is a golden opportunity here for them. It may not be on a daily basis. It might be three times a week. I think there is a lot of opportunity there for everyone. If you look at the numbers, we have had an almost 25 per cent growth rate in numbers of passengers over the last five years. I think there is much more growth there. I don’t think we have even tapped into it yet, but I do

New artwork selected for public locations

Seven new public artworks will soon be displayed in Saskatoon as part of the Placemaker Public Art Program (Placemaker Program).

Not only did they look great, but we know that some calls and visitations were a result of these ads because we asked people where they heard about us. We registered people for our Historical Fiction class who told us they heard about it in the Express. Mary Lachapelle was wonderful to work with – she and her team listened to what we needed in our ads and at the same time, added in their own creativity. The Saskatoon Express is a good ﬁt for the Western Development Museum and we look forward to continuing to advertise in this publication.

we need to change ‘Our home and native land,’ as truly the land belongs to the First Nations people. True. But really? Others complain of the religious references, as not all Canadians are faith-based believers.

needs of the day? The anthem reflects life back then, and it is a story our young people deserve to know. Do we not have the ability to sing the song in a gender-neutral way, seeing sons as including all citizens? Are we that nit-picky? The original lyrics by Robert Stanley said “thou dost in command” In 1913 they were changed to “in all thy sons command.” As new Canadians come to our country making it their new home, do we continue to change the lyrics in order to address all of the diverse cultures in this old land? Can we not teach Canadian history, and in doing so teach that our anthem reflects Canada of a yesteryear and of today? Isn’t it as worthwhile to help young and old alike to understand the history that Canada has been built on? Do we really want a gender-neutral, cultural-neutral anthem void of historical references? I believe that

it is difficult enough to know Canadian history, without having people rewrite it. And if the government opts to make any changes, are we inviting others to demand that their unique perspective be included in the anthem? Years from now do we change it again? Change does happen, and we all survive. Remember the change from imperial to metric? Good choice! The present flag (which came about in 1965) was new for many of us and proved to be a much snappier, more independent-looking flag. Another good choice! There was some temporary pain in the theme song for Hockey Night in Canada moving from one TV network to another. I loved that it was written by a woman, Delores Claman, and men didn’t seem to mind that. Some things need to change; some things need to stay the same. O Canada!

Linoleum-cleaning ideas that may floor you

A million reasons for optimism in city

chool is back in session, post-secondary students are back and taking over the city with a vengeance, street parking is difficult to find, the already low vacancy is even lower and the commute to work is 10 minutes longer. Summer has officially wound down along with the majority of new construction for this year. Most developers are now evaluating their plans for next year and the years to come. With Saskatoon already bursting at the seams as far as housing goes, is it prepared for its estimated 200 per cent growth projected to happen in the next 50 years? Saskatoon grew by 10,000 people in 2012 and is projected to hit the 450,000 mark by 2032. Statistics Canada reports that Saskatoon is the fastest-growing, youngest city in Canada. But where are all of these new residents going to hang their hats? The City has already preparing the new neighbourhoods of Holmwood (extending from east of Willowgrove all the way down to south of Rosewood), Aspen Ridge (encompassing the area Real north of Evergreen), Kensington (north of Blairmore) and Elk Point (west of Hampton Village). These areas are being designed to house the families that will push our population to 450,000. As far as housing one million citizens, the City has revealed a 50-year urban growth plan that will include the rural communities of Martensville, Osler and Warman. To put that into perspective, this area will be comparable to an area slightly smaller than the City of Edmonton currently covers. Jason Yochim, executive officer of the Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS®, is optimistic on how the Saskatoon market will handle the growth. “I am confident regarding the future growth of our city. However I am cautious as we face several challenges with this growth. Existing development within the Municipal Planning District restricts where residential

and commercial growth can occur. Adequate funding must be in place to ensure development and maintenance of infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and water and sewage treatment. The most important focus is on proper planning and continuing cooperation of all stakeholders, such as the city, surrounding RMs and communities, residents and industry.” As the population grows and the city expands outward it will provide more room and opportunities for expanded commercial development. But how will commercial real estate be incorporated to accommodate these new residents? Saskatoon already boasts the highest retail space per capita of all major Canadian cities, yet the vacancy rate consistently falls each quarter. How will the City plan to ensure that the commercial sector keeps pace with residential growth? "It is a difficult question," said Duncan Mayer, research manager of Colliers International Saskatchewan. "In many aspects Saskatoon's commercial market services a population much greater than its CMA Estate (comparative market analysis). And as a result I think it is more difficult to determine exactly what our commercial real-estate needs are in comparison to other cities." In the last five years the commercial market in Saskatoon has expanded by approximately 30 per cent (or six per cent per year), and in most cases the only obstacle to growth during this time has been the availability of land. As new subdivisions come to market it will be the responsibility of both developers and planners to ensure that Saskatoon's amenities and infrastructure do not lag behind the projected population growth. Looking ahead thrills many Saskatoon residents as we aspire to be part of the “One Million Club.” Exciting times are ahead.

Dip the pieces into beaten eggs and then coat them with breadcrumbs. Fry the pieces in vegetable oil until golden brown on both sides. Dab off the excess oil. Lay the slices in a pan and cover with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake in the oven at 350F for 30 minutes. Another option is to put the fried eggplant inside

Tip of the Week

“Saskatoon continues to be in the forefront of growth in Canada. This is new territory to many of us, and I think of our current economic environment as that of a dog chasing the car. When the car stops, the dog better have an idea what to do next. Careful planning for serviced land, infrastructure demands and services are critical in order to adapt to and keep up with growth. Our city leadership needs to ensure that an environment is in place to attract business which creates jobs which pay for many of the essential services and amenities that we hold dear.”

Jeffery Straker Performance with SSO to have Prairie flavour F

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express

ew outside of Saskatchewan would understand the value singer-songwriter-pianist Jeffery Straker places on a hometown like Punnichy, east of Saskatoon on the CNR main line. Growing up in town with a population of about 277, he first took classical music lessons from his mother, who was also the church organist. From there he went on to study with Frank Crumly at the conservatory at the University of Regina and earned a degree in piano performance from London’s Trinity College. He wrote Songs From Highway 15 (near his Punnichy family home), and it was the title of the first of four CDs he has released. All of the countryside background lent itself to Prairie Pops Spectacular, a collaboration between Straker and the Handsome Strangers with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra (SSO), which will be held at TCU Place on Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. Straker admits to being influenced a little bit by a lot of people, including a young Elton John. He’s considered a high-energy artist with closest ties to the folk-pop realm. The dream of playing in front of symphonic audiences began to unfold about three years ago. “I was invited to be the opening act for the Regina Symphony in their summertime show, Under The Sky. And it stirred my interest in classical music again,” said Straker on the telephone from Toronto. “I got the idea of making a tour of Saskatchewan communities with the core players from the Regina Symphony. The Saskatchewan Arts Board approved, and out we went to Gravelbourg, Weyburn, Strasbourg and a handful of towns. We created a mix of my original music with a symphonic sound.” The scope of his dream broadened, and soon he got the green light for a performance with the full orchestra, a concert which attracted a sold-out Regina audience in 2011. “What an experience! You do the first rehearsal

Telemiracle. “After the shows I went to the websites and found out that thousands of people were listening to my music. That’s the beauty of Google. Within an hour people who don’t live in Saskatchewan any longer can stay in touch with the Telemiracle show.” Straker works mostly out of Regina but sometimes out of Toronto. Songs from Highway 15 and Step Right Up were recorded in Saskatchewan. His third album, under the soles out of my shoes, was done in Nashville. Vagabond was recorded while playing the late Glenn Gould’s piano at CBC Studio 211 in Toronto.

An abridged Q and A for your vacay

By Arthur Frommer

hat questions are being posed by travellers as they prepare for their next vacation? They are remarkably numerous, an indication that large numbers will travel in the year ahead. I find the following to be representative of a greater number. Q: Given my age (I am 70), will I be permitted to rent a car in Italy? A. Like many other European countries, Italy has no national law establishing a maximum age for renting a car. But the individual auto-rental companies do have their own regulations, reflecting a bias against rentals by mature people. Still, most firms impose no outright ban but do charge more than normal levels to a person over 70. It's important to check with the auto-rental company you plan to use before proceeding to pick up the car. Q: We'd like to visit Costa Rica, and my husband prefers to do so independently, renting a car and driving to various attractions. Can Costa LS907336.J14 LizaRica be easily

and safely visited in that fashion? A: Definitely yes. Though the roads are not well-signed, and often have potholes, a great many travellers undertake self-drive tours of Costa Rica and find that method eminently suitable, enjoyable and safe. Q: You are quoted as having heaped high praise on Caravan Tours several years ago. Do you still maintain that favourable opinion of them? A: Yes. Caravan is a distinguished and reliable tour operator whose tours of Central America in particular are extremely popular. Q: On a forthcoming visit to Paris we'll be staying at a hotel in the 11th Arrondissement (district). How can we get there from the airport? A: The various forms of public transportation from the airports of Paris will usually take you to a passenger terminal near the Paris Opera, in the centre of the city. Once there, you will find ranks of taxi cabs that will take you for a moderate charge to your hotel, which won’t be far away.

Q: Our son is running in the Boston Marathon next April, and we'd like to see him do so. But all the hotels we've contacted are either full or absurdly expensive. Where can we stay for a reasonable sum? A: The website known as AirBnB. com originally was launched to provide accommodations in cities (in the apartments of residents) during those periods of time when a convention or other popular event causes all the hotel rooms to be sold out. Wait a couple of months, then contact AirBnB.com for a moderately-priced room in a resident's apartment during the time of the marathon. Q: We'd like to spend our honeymoon in the Caribbean, but on a relatively uncrowded island, yet in an all-inclusive hotel. Which island should we choose? A: Consider the island of St. Lucia, where most of the hotels are all-inclusive in their policies. Or consider a hotel in St. Vincent and the Grenadines: popular but not overrun with tourists.

We all should be trying to add fish to our regular diets and cutting down on red meat. This recipe adds variety and makes a healthy, delicious dish. You can use any white fish you can catch: cod, haddock, sea bass, pollock, sole, halibut, flounder or turbot — even if you’re just catching it from a grocery aisle! Round fish are often sold in steaks or cutlets, and flat fish are sold filleted. White fish contains fewer toxins from polluted waters than oily fish since it has so little fat. In addition to being excellent protein, white fish is rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B3 and B6, iron, selenium and iodine.

In a related story, Republican members of Congress have shut down the NFL. • Littlejohn, on Miss Universe (American Olivia Culpo) taking part in an unauthorized fashion shoot at the Taj Mahal: “Not only that, but I hear she sold autographs.” • The thing I like most about Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Morgan Rielly is the “i” is before the “e.” • Three football asterisks: 3. Michael Strahan’s NFL sack record of 22.5. He was given a free path to fall on Brett Favre in the final game of the 2001 season; 2. Rene Paredes’ field-goal record. He set the mark (39) after one was blocked and didn’t

Craig Simpson is still the analyst on the top crew, PJ Stock is still part of the studio panel and Don Cherry is still sitting on the wrong side of Ron McLean. • Hough, on the Jonas Brothers cancelling their planned concert tour because of a deep rift within the band: “And in a display of bipartisan unity, both liberal and conservative parents said ‘Now there’s a shutdown we can get behind.’” • From Chong: “I’ve never watched Breaking Bad. Is it a documentary on the NY Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars football season?” • From Littlejohn: “The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving told a local group that he’s ‘not leaving like LeBron did.’ So how is he going to leave?” • Not sure why, but sometimes I think Kelly Hrudey and Glen Suitor are the same person. • From Hough: “Who says Congress isn’t

• The small-market Pirates, Rays and A's are gone. There will be no Cinderella in the World Series. Her carriage not only turned into a pumpkin, it got run over by a stretch limo. • Reader's Digest released an article about seven things Canadians haven’t been able to say for a long time. Let me guess one: the Leafs are Stanley Cup champions. • This year is the 125th anniversary of Marvin Stone patenting the drinking straw. And for over a century the Chicago Cubs have sucked. • A rebranding compromise for Daniel Snyder that’s non-racist, has a long tradition and allows him to keep half the old nickname. The Washington Pigskins. • The Toronto Raptors mascot is out with a torn Achilles tendon. He’s listed as a dino sore. • With Scarlett Johansson as Esquire’s sexiest woman alive and Gwyneth Paltrow named People’s most beautiful woman, the Globe and Mail asked what’s to choose between them? I choose me. • According to a virtualtourist.com item, Jacksonville is one of the most dangerous U.S. cities to visit. Unless you are an NFL team. • The return on investment for Dallas quarterback Tony Romo seems to be about 75 cents on the dollar. He tends to come up a quarter short. • ALCS teams Detroit and Boston led the majors this season with a combined

3,191 hits. They've put more men in scoring position than Paris Hilton. • The illustrations college student Jody Steel draws on her thighs during lectures has gained her international recognition. And a long list of volunteers to grade her artwork. • I heard TSN's Kate Beirness pronounce the name of tennis pro Gael Monfils as "mon-fleece." I wonder if it made her feel sheepish? • Las Vegas made the Broncos 27.5 point favourites over the Jaguars. 27.5 points? That's not a spread, it's a chasm. • Supermodel Kate Moss will reportedly grace the cover of Playboy for her 40th birthday. Some gals get gifts; others get naked. • The N.Y. Post reports Johnny Carson’s wife, Joanne, was having an affair in 1962 with Giants receiver Frank Gifford. I bet Gifford still said he wasn't getting enough touches. • Reuters reports an Australian pig drank 18 cans of beer, got into a fight with a cow, then passed out. On the bright side, it's been made the official mascot of the NHL. • Entertainment Tonight filmed a Baywatch 25-year reunion show. The air time is 30 minutes — or 10 minutes without the slow motion. •Did you see Peyton Manning run for a touchdown against Dallas? For a while there I thought he'd draw a penalty for delay of game.

suffering along with the rest of the country? Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told People magazine that his wife and two daughters couldn’t visit the National Zoo and museums last weekend. So they went apple-picking and visited Mount Vernon. Ah, that American resilience during tough times.” • From Rolfsen: “By the looks of the Capitals’ defence,

this may be the only shutdown Washington sees this year.” • Chong, on the NFL planning to have three games in London next year: “You’d think they would schedule at least one game for another huge emerging market — Los Angeles.” • A Mastodon tooth was found in a donation box at a Michigan charity. It is believed to have belonged to Chris Chelios.

The name might throw you off, but this beauty will get all your senses heading in the right direction.

A cabin that elevates tastefulness to a new level reaffirms the car’s luxury-vehicle cred. This is especially in evidence with a dual-cockpit-shaped dashboard with both 17.5- and 20-centimetre touch-screen displays that operate the climate, communications and optional navigation systems. Going forward, the Q50 employs a 3.7-litre V6 (same as in the G37) that makes 328 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, while the Q50 Hybrid combines a 302-horsepower 3.5-litre V6 with an electric motor rated at 67 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque to produce 360 net horsepower. The Q50 Hybrid’s gasoline-electric powertrain is virtually identical to that used in what was previously called the M35h. For 2014, the M35h has been renamed the Q70 Hybrid. Its 50-kilowatt electric motor uses energy stored in a 346-volt lithium-ion battery pack located behind the rear seat. The stowage-space penalty is significant, but apart from the performance gain, the Hybrid rates an impressive 7.0 l/100 km in the city and 5.6 on the highway. The gasoline-only Q50 earns a 10.6/6.7rating. The Hybrid uses the same seven-speed automatic transmission as the regular Q50, as opposed to a lessthan-sporting continuously variable unit found in most other hybrids. As well you can specify all-wheel-drive for the Hybrid, which is not available on similarly propelled Lexus or Lincoln models. Befitting of any luxury sedan, the Q50 arrives properly attired, however the Q50 Premium adds heated front seats, power moonroof and Bose’s 14-speaker “Studio on Wheels” audio system. Note that the Q50 Hybrid starts at the Premium trim level.

What you should know

The Q50’s cockpit interior layout is designed around the driver, almost entirely. Notice that there are two video screens in the centre stack and that the shifter for the seven-speed automatic transmission looks like it mates to a manual. The Q50S adds metal-trim accents, 19-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension and brakes and a different front bumper. Your Q50 can also be ordered with any number of option groupings, including a Technology Package with all the latest electronic safety enhancements such as blind-spot, lane-departure and forward collision warnings. The Q50’s $39,500 base price ($49,000 for the Hybrid Premium) is competitive with similar North American, German and Japanese marques, but with elevated content and eye appeal that communicates a unique luxury presence regardless of what name appears on the truck lid.

The Firebird Trans Am “TA 6.6” touted its engine size — 400 cubic inches — in litres, perhaps to distract buyers from the fact the that 455-cube engine was no longer available. At a time when performance was just a slogan, it was easy to cling to the 6.6.

t quite literally had the “Formula.” In the early 1970s, the absolute peak of all-out automotive muscle and attitude, the Pontiac Firebird represented not only what was fast, but was also cool and hip.

introduction window. In fact, it wasn’t until several months later, an eternity in the car business, when the curtains finally parted, the GM publicity mill got up a head of steam and prospective buyers could finally drink their fill. Why the delay? These days, mid-year new-car introductions are commonplace, but 40 years ago, it was practically unheard of for a domestic manufacturer to miss a fall unveiling. General Motors was embroiled in a lengthy strike with its unionized workers and was forced to push back the release of its star “ponycar” attractions, the Pontiac Firebird and close-cousin Chevrolet Camaro. When the Firebird finally did arrive, the sounds of jawbones smacking the asphalt could be heard throughout the land. What Pontiac had wrought was nothing less than sensational. The car shared no resemblance to the previous 1967-’69 ’birds, but had that clean and mean look of a real racer. Even the base models, priced below the $3,000 threshold, looked every bit as glamorous despite hiding a 250-cubic-inch six-cylinder engine that could do no better than 155 horsepower. For anyone who didn’t want to play pretender, the new Firebird had three V8 options: a 255-horse 350-cube V8 for the mid-grade Esprit; a 400-cube engine for the more sporting Formula (identified by two large scoops jutting from its hood); and the King-Kong-sized 455-cubic-inch V8, complete with shaker hood scoop, fitted to the Trans Am model. The latter was as close to an all-out performance machine as you could find in any Pontiac, with up to 370 horsepower on tap and a slick-shifting Hurst handle to help get you where you wanted to go. Trans Ams were also fitted with front and rear spoilers while the side rain gutters, standard on nearly every car back then, were shaved from the bodies, more in the interests of style than practicality. Despite the late start to the model year, Pontiac managed to find homes for nearly 50,000 new Firebirds, including about 3,200 The car was a foamy broth of performance and passion, Trans Ams, the buyers of which were able to a heady mixture that kept it clearly in the sights of the bulgcome up with the $4,500 entry fee (excluding the ing, baby-booming youth market, plus anyone else who dotexorbitant insurance premiums). ed on driving a car that was several cuts above hum-drum.

The decision not to drop the top probably

cost GM some sales, but the design really didn’t lend itself to a folding top and the corporation wisely left well enough alone. Brute strength continued to be the order of the day, but stricter emissions regulations and the move to lead-free gasoline meant detuning the Trans Am powerplant to a more sedate 335 horsepower in 1971. To compensate – somehow – Pontiac offered a giant Firebird decal positioned across the hood. It wasn’t for everyone, but plenty of buyers who wanted to announce to the world their specific brand of automobile in a none-too-subtle way sprung for the low-cost option. By mid-decade, the Firebird’s reputation as a hip and quick transportation device was further reinforced through product placements on TV and in the movies. On the popular series, The Rockford Files, James Garner’s private eye character tooled around in a tan-coloured Esprit while Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields co-starred in a couple of Smokey and the Bandit films, sharing top billing with a black T-roofed Trans Am. Nothing could stop Burt and Sally in that car. But the Firebird’s wings were being clipped with each passing year. The 455 monster motor breathed its last after 1976, but the much tamed 400-cubic-inch engine remained on the order books, as did the hood scoop with the engine displacement (strangely, in metric liters typed across the side). Toward the end of its run, Pontiac even tried turbocharging the Firebird’s base 301-cubic-inch V8, but there was by then little left of the performance attitude that once struck fear into the hearts of stoplight challengers everywhere. Still, these sporty coupes at least looked the part, a fact that kept sales pointed on an upward path. General Motors replaced the Firebird and Camaro with all-new versions in 1982, bringing an end to what had been the glory days for both makes. The third-generation Firebird became more of a Camaro clone than ever, and, without a high-horsepower big-block option, would never be the same.

Bring your vehicle back from the brink with help from our shelves

here’s just one little problem with keeping a vehicle looking new: you drive it outdoors. You know, outdoors? Where there’s mud, gravel, tree sap, cats, tar and flying wildlife? Have I forgot anything? Ah yes, neglect. If your idea of “cleaning” is to go for a fast drive in the rain, vehicle resurrection will present a challenge, mostly because if you’re the neglectful type you won’t have a clue of how to begin. Taking on this battle without some knowledge is like showing up for a physics final exam when you don’t even take physics. Without any knowledge, it will be expensive (because you have no idea what products to buy), time consuming (do you like doing things two or three times before the vehicle is even presentable?) and most likely frustrating (your idea of “like new” and the wax bottle’s idea of “like new,” like, don’t always jive). Trust us on this one: the Wheelbase garage has, quite literally, 50 types of wax/polish on the shelves and each staff member has his or her favorite concoction. And that’s only about half of what you’ll find on store shelves. What you use depends on how bad the paint is and what type of paint it is (like, you’re supposed to know?). If you can’t actually remember the last time the car was waxed -and you’re the original owner dating back several years -- it’s quite likely the finish will have to be polished to remove small scratches, swirl marks and general dullness. This is a step that’s often skipped, but is essential to renewing the surface in preparation for wax, which is really just a protective coating. There are many great products out there, some that are standalone and others that are meant to be used as part of a system. For example (and this is not an endorsement in any way), editor Jeff (a shine tyrant and detailing taskmaster) says he has grown quite comfortable with Meguiar’s No. 9 Swirl Remover, ML41956.j14 followed by No. 7 Show Car Glaze

and the topped with Meguiar’s Gold Class wax. Using a power buffer for the Swirl Remover and power orbital polisher for applying the glaze and wax and then hand buffing it all away, our hardy Boss Man says a complete paint makeover takes about three hours on a Saturday morning (all day if he’s doing it as a work project on Monday . . . go figure). With power tools, though, you have to know what you’re doing otherwise you run the risk of “burning” (ruining) the paint

tire/wheel cleaners are of the sprayon-leave-it-for-a-bit-hose-off variety, we’ve found it best to get the wash mitt in there for a good scrubbing before rinsing. Checking the shelves in the Wheelbase garage uncovers a half dozen spray bottles of Meguiar’s “Hot Rims”, a product that replaces separate wheel/tire cleaners. Tire By COURTNEY HANSEN dressing (shiny stuff) is up to you, but w w w. sh i f t w ee k ly. co m I would recommend spraying whatever it is onto a “tire sponge” first instead which also happens to smell like a of directly onto the tire (the overspray lovely Hawaiian beach party. Upholstery touch-ups are possible with some off-the-shelf cleaners but if the carpet and seats look like the bottom of the kitchen sink on spaghetti night, or you just don’t have the professional cleaning equipment hanging on the wall (it’s OK, we don’t either), try this: take the vehicle to a detailing shop. Steam cleaning the carpets and seats might cost $100 or so, but will make a huge difference in the look, feel and smell of the interior, which, of course, is where you spend your time. In fact, when we can’t keep up with maintenance, the Wheelbase crew is all to happy to surrender the vehicle(s) to the local detail shop for complete resurrection from paint and tires/wheels to glass and upholstery. The last time was for the “shop truck,” a red 2000 Ford Lightning shortbox with real suede seats. Total cost: $220, zero Wheelbase time, zero Wheelbase sweat, zero Wheelbase materials and the staff says the vehicle looked brand spanking new. Do you know which, if any, of these products will bring your tired vehicle back to life?
