Musician striking right notes with special-needs students

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

esse Weiman has passion and a dream. They are two essential elements for getting things done. The Saskatoon educator has melded his career working with special-needs youth and his talent as a musician and producer. When combined, the results are wonderful. “I grew up in Saskatoon. I was born and raised here,” said Weiman. “I started playing music when I was around 17, beginning with guitar and singing really badly. We formed a band called Straight Faced Liars. But we grew through the years, and won the 10K20 Star Search grant in 2007 and put out an album. That got us to a professional level really fast, and that’s when I started recording.” Despite the band’s success, Weiman and his crew didn’t take to touring. Life on the road wasn’t for him. He took a job as an educational assistant (EA) at Bethlehem High School, working with the Functionally Integrated (FI) Department for specialneeds students, while continuing to enjoy freelance music and production on the side. Thanks to what he describes as a flexible, dynamic educational environment that “allowed it to happen”, Weiman has worked

with his FI students on a number of music Another one of Weiman’s students was videos, most notably last October’s Monster terrified of Halloween, specifically masks. Mash. It scored tens of thousands of hits on That same student jumped out of his shell YouTube. when given the chance to play a role in the “I’ve always wanted to do it,” said Monster Mash video, learning his lines in a Weiman. “At Bethlehem we have great matter of days, getting the dancing correct support there.

body is always awesome. But I’ve noticed more kids actually taking time out of their day now to talk to my students. It gave them an identity. No one else could do what they did on these videos. Yes, it has to do with them being special needs, but it has more to do with them being unique and talented.” With his past successes under his belt and an eye to the future, Weiman has formed a non-profit organization named Tunetown. Joining forces with other local musicians and Wiegers Care For Kids, Weiman used Tunetown to release a cover of John Lennon’s So This Is Christmas to raise funds for the Saskatchewan Children’s Hospital. The Christmas video did not feature youth with special needs, but Weiman’s next Tunetown project and those going forward will have that goal in mind. “I think I’m developing a way to show the talent these kids have,” said Weiman. “I’ve been working on the Tunetown thing for a year. The next video we’re doing is Bohemian Rhapsody. What I hope to do with Tunetown is an expansion into the community of what I’ve been doing at the school.” The benefits of Weiman bringing music, video and song into the lives of people (Continued on page 5)

Anne’s father — Lloyd Hutchinson — is my uncle. My father says Uncle Lloyd was shot down twice. Uncle Lloyd, like so many veterans, didn’t talk much about the war. The week after Anne’s column ran I received an email from Shirley Timpson, a volunteer at the Artifact Room of Military History at the Nutana Legion. Shirley invited Anne to provide information that would result in her father being remembered in a display on a wall at the history room. My uncle is now being publicly recognized for his membership in the Goldfish Club. The club is for men and women that were rescued from water during the war. I was at the museum last week. Among the thousands and thousands of artifacts, photos and books, I saw the certificate honouring the contribution my uncle made to his country. It made me proud. WE ARE running a shorter events package this week. We anticipate having all the “miscellaneous” items back in our next edition.

to be the lawn bowling greens near the Mendel Art Gallery. But the time came when the 25th Street board of directors and McCall had different outlooks on the theatre’s future, and he left. Sliced into one season at 25th Street Theatre was the rare opportunity to take a play (The Ecstasy of Rita Joe) to New York for a premiere. “I directed it with an indigenous cast for Prairie Theatre Exchange, and it was a huge success. I got a call from a company in New York offering me a date which I couldn’t accept, but they changed it from a July run to October in 1984. I asked if I could bring three actors — Tom Jackson, Mark Melymick and Gary Farmer — and they agreed. Certainly it was part of establishing Tom as a theatre performer, and we’ve maintained a strong friendship through the years.” Then McCall pictured a festival as an opportunity for significant theatrical growth in Saskatoon. “I dream all the time, and I have the passion to make dreams work. I went to see Cliff Wright, the mayor of Saskatoon at the time. I saw the need for the Shakespeare festival. We had a chance to do plays by the most famous of playwrights, plays which transcended time, plays with no royalties attached. I wanted to do them on the most amazing riverbank I’ve ever seen. And the visibility would be tremendous. “An outdoor setting in a tent would be unfettered by glass and brass. We wanted

to make the tent a wonderland of its own, and do it one show at a time. That way the box office would dictate how far we’d go.” McCall’s adventure with The Walk of Ages was also a selling point. He traced the history of Saskatoon through performances on 11 stages along the riverbank, each about 15 minutes in length. Over the course of one weekend it attracted 40,000 people, either for the whole event or parts of it. Surjik was just out of school, and McCall hired him as the technical director. A Midsummer Night’s Dream was the first production. It and others during the first two years were staged on the lawn bowling site. Next there was a fling next door at the Bessborough, and eventually a move to its current site. McCall shared three favourite moments at the festival. “Susan Kyle as Puck on top of the tent in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Blaine Hart making his entrance from underwater in The Tempest. And my son, Sean, playing Macduff’s son in Macbeth; our first father-son experience in the theatre.” McCall and his wife, Eloise, have been married for 42 years. Sean was seven and Spencer was three when the family moved to Saskatoon. Both sons live in Saskatoon. After Saskatoon, McCall applied for the artistic director’s job with Centaur Theatre, the main English-speaking theatre group in Montreal. He moved there at a time when (Continued on page 4)

Mayor’s high hopes have shortcomings

recently returned from Calgary. We left my host’s home at 5 p.m. for a flight scheduled for 8:05 p.m. The plan was to check in early and then have a quick dinner before I left. The trip to the airport that was supposed to be 40 minutes took an hour and a half.

I felt grateful that I live in a mid-sized city where grid lock might be 20 minutes during peak traffic hours and night lights are not kilometres of red tail lights. After arriving home I browsed the previous week’s newspapers and noted a StarPhoenix article with the headline: “Sky’s the limit downtown.” It is the new city-centre theme to grow vertically. Mayor Don Atchison pointed to cities like Shanghai that have created identities because of their skyscrapers. I so desperately wish the mayor had not referenced Shanghai as his dream theme. Have you ever been to Shanghai? Or Bangkok? Hong Kong? Tokyo? New York? They are great places to visit, but living there is an entirely different matter. After a couple of days visiting in any of those cities most sane people are looking for a way out. And wealthy residents of those cities usually have getaway retreats outside of the city.

McCall hopes to direct in U.S. (Continued from page 3) the city was the hotbed of French nationalism. He built a strong working relationship with Michel Tremblay, who was the best of the French Canadian directors. Later he became associate professor of theatre and head of the directing program at Purdue University. He is now seeking dual citizenship which would allow him to accept more directing roles in the United States. As well as taking on many plays in U.S. theatres, his travels have known no bounds. He directed the world premiere of For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, a Tremblay script, which opened in Washington, D.C. He also took it to Ireland’s Abbey Theatre, believed to be the first Canadian to direct a play in Dublin. He directed Cheech by Francois Letourneau at Australia’s Melbourne Theatre. He has previously directed Strawberries in January in Vermont. The play was written by Evelyne de Cheneliere and translated by Morwyn Brebner. “It’s a kind of “I’m in love with love” play.

Allowing higher buildings not a tall order

uestion: What are the advantages of setting a minimum height requirement for new buildings in the downtown? And what are the advantages of increasing the maximum height for new buildings? Mayor Atchison: People in Saskatoon are Ask the Mayor concerned about urban sprawl. I don’t think there is anyone more concerned about urban sprawl than I am. We want to make sure we keep our city as compact as possible. So in order to curtail urban sprawl we have to grow up in the city centre. Either grow out or grow up. I am all in favour of us going up. The administration recommended putting minimum heights in of 10 metres (which is approximately three storeys). It makes the land more valuable in the long term. The other part is that we are increasing height so builders are allowed to go to approximately 34 storeys. It’s 34 storeys because of flight paths over the city to the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport. Question: What is the maximum now? Mayor Atchison: Right now it is about 23 storeys. Question: Will these heights impact getting a grocery store downtown? Mayor Atchison: It gives us a better opportunity to get a grocery store. The more people living in the downtown area, the more people shopping there. It makes it that much easier to convince a grocery store chain to build downtown. There is another part of the City Centre Plan that is interesting. With higher density we expand the tax base.

Just as important, everyone is having a good time doing it. “It’s about structure. But when you’re trying to teach students things like learning lines, positioning and looking into the camera, it’s impossible if it’s not fun.” Weiman is looking for sponsors to allow him to keep going. “I think I have the means to grow Tunetown,” he said. “People are getting on board. It’s about using music and song and video to highlight what talents everyone in our community has, who they are.” Meanwhile, Weiman continues to love what each day brings. “It’s definitely the most challenging and fulfilling thing I’ve ever done,” he said. “I’m capable of doing it, which I don’t think a lot of people could.

Leading-wedge art Saskatchewan artist explores concept of a wedge Joelle Tomlinson for the Saskatoon Express

honour and is reminiscent of his days growing up on a farm in Invermay. “That’s where you would give the blow to those animals. They feed you, they nurture you, and that’s the honourable way to go,” said Hosaluk. “That had a lot of significance on the farm growing up. There would be a big celebration, and usually family would come over to celebrate and have a big meal together.” The beauty in Hosaluk’s display is in the variety of artistic mediums and subtle messages throughout the exhibit. Another eye-catching display is Hosaluk’s White Man’s Totem Pole, a towering and teetering stack of wooden blocks that look precariously close to toppling. With the use of wedges and steel a felling of the totem pole is unlikely, but it makes for a piece that’s hard to ignore. Hosaluk came up with this idea while admiring indigenous totem poles, rife with stories and history. White Man’s Totem Pole represents contrast between the still-developing North American culture and its ability to wedge itself into more developed cultures around the world. “I would say to come and check this exhibit out to enjoy one person’s art where they really expose themselves and share ideas that are unique. And to explore the concept of a wedge that we sometimes take for granted.” Hosaluk, who is known worldwide for his skill in woodturning, once travelled to seven countries in one year to demonstrate his craft. Still, having exhibits in his home province is a breath of fresh air to the Prairie native. “This show actually shows a lot about our land here in Saskatchewan,” said Hosaluk. “I love home, and this is where it is. You get your roots as an artist, and you can go away, but you remain grounded here. I’m excited about this exhibit, and it feels good having it here in Saskatoon.” Put a Wedge in it runs from now until Feb. 22 at the Affinity Gallery at 813 Broadway Avenue. There will be an artist talk by Hosaluk on Feb. 1 at 2 p.m.

ichael Hosaluk doesn’t just create art; he delivers a message. His latest exhibit, Put a Wedge in it, showcases an eclectic gathering of wood carvings, paintings, sculptures, photography, poetry and forms of multimedia. Each piece has a story, some more daring than others. “As I’ve researched and explored the concept of a wedge, I’ve been amazed by how much it is a part of our existence,” said Hosaluk. “It’s actually equal to the wheel. Maybe not as significant or well-known, but it’s used every day.” To Hosaluk the wedge is an unsung hero. So he developed a show that catered to the common tool. “Sometimes you don’t know why you do; you lose control and you just do it. But there is significance in these moments,” said Hosaluk with a laugh. “I explore ideas, and I find the medium that best expresses them. Sometimes it’s paint; sometimes it’s two-dimensional.” The noteworthy detail of Hosaluk’s art lies in the message he conveys. His pieces range from a beautifully carved bench with a wedge base to a photograph of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford with a wedge placed distinctly between his eyes. Ford isn’t the only victim. Prime Minister Stephen Harper receives the same treatment in the exhibit. “At first it was hard to present them because you’re making a serious political statement. Then you realize they are deserving. And it was almost like an AngusReid poll,” said Hosaluk. “People started telling me who deserves a wedge. And as an artist sometimes you can become the sounding board if you open yourself up to that. “This show definitely pushed my artistic boundaries.” In collaboration with bronze sculptor Joe Fafard, Hosaluk drives a wedge into the forehead of a mounted bronze pig head. For the native of Saskatchewan, this represents

• TC Chong, on a teen trying to board a flight in Edmonton with a pipe bomb in his carry-on luggage: “Security agents offered to return the bomb to him, but wouldn’t give him his 250 ml bottle of shampoo.” • The Professor on Gilligan’s Island died last week. Maybe it’s time to retire the age-old question: The Professor or Mr. Howell? • Has anybody ever picked Ginger? • Bill Littlejohn, on Alabama hiring Lane Kiffin as its offensive coordinator: “Isn’t this like turning over the reins of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise to Gilligan.” • Janice Hough, on JC Penney closing 33 stores: “Shocking. Penney still has stores?” • From Chong: “Anaheim 9, Vancouver 1. Looks like the Ducks got all their Canucks in a row.” • Torben Rolfsen, on reports the Vancouver Whitecaps are reaching out to Bryan Adams for help, à la Drake with Toronto FC: “Who are they hoping to sign? Franz Beckenbauer?” • An Oregon man has sold for $1,500 what is believed to be one of the first prototypes of a Nike shoe. The man reportedly was given the shoe in 2010 by Tom Bowerman, one of the sons of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman. I wouldn’t pay $1,500 for an old Nike shoe even if Michael Jordan’s foot was in it. • Did you know the Nike logo was designed in 1971 by a Portland State graphic arts student named Carolyn Davidson. She billed the company $35. Don’t feel bad for her; that was a lot of money in those days. • Chong, on the owners of the house Justin Bieber allegedly damaged saying they would have to repaint the exterior: “Bieber’s agent suggested they choose eggshell white.” • Georges St-Pierre says there is a drug problem in the UFC. Dana White says there isn’t a drug problem in the UFC. Which of the two is more credible? • Hough, on the allegations that Aaron Hernandez was the gunman in a 2012 double murder: “This would never happen with Tony Romo. There’s no chance he’d hit the targets.” • From Chong: “I’m thinking Peyton Manning uses Omaha as a play call at the line of scrimmage because the league JW11276.A20 won’t allow him to say Papa John’s.”

• Littlejohn, on John Elway saying Manning doesn’t get enough credit: “Isn’t that like saying Mount Everest doesn’t get enough snow?” • Ignorant or entitled? The cyclist taking up a lane on Circle Drive between Warman Road and Millar Avenue at 7 a.m. last Friday. • Not what the radio talking head meant: “Police were called to a residence where a man threatened to do harm to himself and to a woman with a knife.” (Note: readers have caught me on these a number of times.) • From Littlejohn: “Alex Rodriguez says that 2014 will start a new chapter in his life. He just hopes it isn’t Chapter 13.” • Rolfsen, on A-Rod being suspended for 162 games, plus the playoffs: “Red Sox, Tigers and A’s pitching staffs have already filed an appeal of that second part.” • Hough, on the USADA saying A-Rod’s PED regimen was probably the most potent and sophisticated drug program developed for an athlete: “If so, we’ve learned one new thing about PEDs. They don’t work in October.” • Chong, on the two pilots being held responsible for landing a Southwest Airlines plane at the wrong airport in Missouri: “This answers the question, ‘Whatever happened to some of those NFL replacement officials?’” • Hough, on the Chicago Cubs saying some of the reaction to their new mascot was despicable: “Many Cubs fans think that adjective should be reserved for the team’s play on the field.” • A 22-year-old Irish mountain biker had an erection lasting seven weeks after suffering an injury while riding. In a related story, there’s increased interest in mountain biking among 65-year-old men. • Littlejohn, on Fox Super Bowl cameras showing players’ body temperatures: “And after the game is over thermometers will be hooked back up to Ted Williams.” • From Chong: “Next up for Dennis Rodman? Trying to find out when Fidel Castro’s birthday is.” • An employee at a McDonald’s in Murrysville, Pa., has been charged with selling heroin out of the restaurant. I’m wondering if customers were asked if they wanted ketchup in the bag.

• No. 10-ranked WTA player Caroline Wozniacki and PGA No. 7 Rory McIlroy have gotten engaged. It seems like yesterday these crazy kids were juggling dating and being No. 1. • An AHL fan in Norfolk caught a stray puck without waking the baby he was holding. He received a good cheer from the crowd and a goalie contract from the Edmonton Oilers. • An arbitrator’s ruling means Alex Rodriguez is suspended for the entire 2014 season. About the only place you’ll see ARod play is in the tabloids. • Gator Bowl MVP Quincy Enunwa’s stats in leading Nebraska over Georgia: four catches, 129 yards and two TDs — including a 99-yarder. I’m not saying Enunwa is Superman, but he was faster than a speeding Bulldog. • American Country Awards co-host Danica Patrick joked about her “checkered past.” If we’re talking NASCAR, the closest she gets to checkered cloth is at an Italian restaurant. • Reuters reports that during the recent heat wave, day after day Australians are seeing dead bats. “We can relate,” say Houston Astros fans. • The Globe and Mail is asking for inspiring stories of losing weight.

I wonder if they ride boobsleds? • The Continental Cup of curling took place in Las Vegas this year. Continental curling is similar to North American curling, only with smaller portions. • According to a Sun report, some ice dancers envy how Canadian Scott Moir is able to embrace pressure. I envy how he is able to embrace Tessa Virtue. • Which would you bet on falling first: Peyton Manning’s 55-TD passing record or Jerry Jones’ face lift? • The Jets players must shoulder the blame for coach Claude Noel’s firing, according to Winnipeg defenceman Dustin Byfuglien. And he’s not Jokinen. • UFC champ Ronda Rousey said she secretly wants to have “57 babies” with retired MMA great Fedor Emelianenko.

Fit to be Y-ed YWCA sessions helping those with MS

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express

omen and men who have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) are attending three-day-a-week fitness sessions at the YWCA. They’re hoping to improve their quality of life. MS is a progressive auto-immune disorder that wears away at the coverings that protect the nerve cells, gradually attacking the cells of the brain and spinal system. Genevieve Salamon, who was diagnosed with MS in 1987, is in the third year of the YWCA program. She says she has been gaining muscle tone and better strength. “Sometimes a lot of things get blamed on MS, but often it was just a case of fitness,” said Salamon. “Through the exercising I’ve become more stable. The stability improves from the strength training for my legs. With MS there is no quick fix or a magic pill, but the fitness classes work for me.” Gail Jockims has been affected by MS for 40 years. “I wouldn’t even be mobile if it wasn’t for the water program at the YWCA and now the fitness class. I’ve been the longest member in each class.” Kim Guillaume, a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Kinesiology who also holds an exercise psychological certificate, has been a trainer at the YWCA for two and a half years. “I’ve seen a lot of great progressions,” she said. “For me it has been an amazing experience and broadened my perspective on fitness. Even when some have a tough day with their disorders, they are all up to the challenges. The sessions are very much a social thing, and there are strong bonds between them.”

Valerie Kirk, another trainer, says she has seen “a transformation in many of the people. Their strength and balance has improved tremendously.” Part of the success comes from the clients adapting to the equipment in the exercise room. Specialized equipment in the weight room includes a full body exerciser (ergometer for arms and legs), a recumbent stepper, as well as medicine balls, thera bands and a balance board. Other units available are the fluid-filled ergometer (which is leg, arm and wheelchair accessible) and the wheelchair-accessible strength-training equipment. Two units are new with others are on the way. Guillaume said the secret to the equipment is the adjustments which can be made. “The seats can be removed or swung away, making way for those in wheelchairs. And that allows them to do their cardiovascular training right from the chair in which they are most comfortable.” Barb Macpherson, executive director of the YWCA, says the association’s fitness policy is designed to fit people with physically disabled challenges. “We want to provide the physical benefits that many wouldn’t receive elsewhere. These opportunities increase the quality of lives,” said Macpherson, who says programs with the Multiple Sclerosis Society are built on collaboration and partnerships. The YWCA seeks out accessibility grants because of the costs of a new unit can run as high as $3,500. The YWCA also works closely with people affected by fibromyalgia and has a special class for autistic children and their families. And this month it is reaching out to the breast-cancer victims, encouraging them to sign up for a freeJW11285.A20 eight-week program designed to get back into fitness. James

Swedish steed. The popular program not only helped Volvo sell plenty of premium-priced coupes, but also helped build showroom traffic. There, prospective buyers were exposed to the company’s other products, including the humped-back PV544 coupe and the more practical 122-series (called the Amazon in Europe) two- and fourdoor sedans.

By malcolm gunn www.wheelbasemedia.com

And for most North Americans and many non-Nordic Europeans, Volvo was synonymous with idiosyncratic car construction. Volvo’s feet were firmly planted on the sidelines of mainstream automobile culture and seemed destined to remain there.

Do these look like seats of out of a 50-yearold car? The interior of the Volvo P1800 would have been at home in Ferrari that was 20 years newer.

Volvo was prominently featured as the ride of choice for The exception? The P1800. The handsome two-seat Roger Moore, who, in the 1960s, portrayed suave and sosport coupe with the plucky powerplant and rich, comfortphisticated Simon Templar on the TV show “The Saint”. able and spacious interior rose to the top of the desirability charts where it remained for years. Over the course of eight seasons (and 118 episodes) from 1962-’69, Moore busted the bad guys and won the Of course, it helped that this voluptuously skinned hearts of many a fair damsel while piloting his trusty

The next attempt led to the company taking a more conventional approach, employing an all-steel body with mechanical pieces borrowed from existing inventories. Physically, however, the P1800 looked more like an Italian-based 2+2 GT than something originating from somewhere north of Europe. Its egg-crate grille proudly protruded from an elongated front deck and the car’s slab sides ended in the rear with more than a hint of tailfin. The P1800 also featured higher-than-normal doors that,

The P1800 was actually Volvo’s second crack at creating a sporty model. The company’s initial effort, dubbed the P1900, was brought out in 1956. However, production of the two-seat convertible was halted (after a mere 67 versions were made) due to quality concerns with the fiberglass body. For Volvo, it was back to the drawing board.

combined with a low greenhouse, wrapped its occupants in a cocoon-like cockpit. Being a Volvo, the P1800 naturally came with a strong dose of practicality. The car was blessed with a rock-solid structure, a Volvo tradition since the company’s first motorcar — nicknamed the Jakob — rolled out of the company’s Gothenburg plant in 1927. Then there was the P1800’s drivetrain, featuring the stout 100-horsepower 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine that also saw service in Volvo sedans. It was coupled to a tough and smooth-shifting four-speed manual transmission. The initial run of 6,000 right-hand-drive P1800s (Swedes drove on the left until 1967) was assembled in England from late 1961-’63 by Jensen, a low-volume auto manufacturer that later became famous for its Chrysler V8-powered bubble-hatch Interceptor GT. By the end of that year, production was relocated to Sweden where both left- and right-hand-drive models were made. Malcolm Gunn is a feature writer with Wheelbase Media.

Auto Trivia

• The TV series “Route 66”, which appeared from 1960-’64, took a number of lengthy detours off the highway, including episodes shot in New England and the Pacific North West. • French automaker Louis Renault is credited with inventing drum brakes back in 1902. Disc brakes were reportedly first installed on the 1949 Chrysler.

2015 Lamborghini Huracan: Named for a famous 19th century Spanish fighting bull, apparently, the Huracan is the replacement for the soon-todepart Gallardo, which is a decade old now. The mostly-carryover 5.2-litre V10 now makes 610 horsepower (up 40). A new seven-speed automated manual transmission replaces the sixspeed unit. Pricing will range between US $190,000 and $200,000, which is about half the cost of Lamborghini’s $400,000-plus Aventador flagship.

1962 Chrysler 300H convertible, no bids, US $19,000 starting price: It’s hard to say why this clean, but not totally pristine 300H failed to attract any interest, especially considering its reasonable starting price of US $19,000. Of the 123 300H convertibles produced in 1962, only two came with a 413-cubic-inch V8 mated to a three-speed manual gearbox with floor-mounted shifter. A missed opportunity?

It might be ‘just’ a car, but there’s still a grieveing process

t doesn’t matter how many cars you buy and sell in your lifetime, parking one for the last time is not easy. You’ve undoubtedly seen many good miles together, spent years together . . . it’s like an old friend. Maybe letting go is easier when you’re using your car as a trade-in, or selling it to another driver. At least then you know it will be given another chance; it will live to drive another day. But when you have to sell your car for scrap because it’s too old and broken down to be of any use to anyone, it’s not a pretty sight. It’s like watching that good old friend fade before your eyes: you know what’s coming, but you still go through the five stages of grief. First stage: Denial. You hear a strange sound, but you’re convinced it’s coming from another car. Tick, tick, tick. You turn down the radio to hear it better. “Poor guy,” you think to yourself, looking at the fellow in the beater next to you. “His car is going to pack it in any day now.” A few days later, you hear the sound again, but, you think it can’t possibly be your car making that loud, rattling noise: RAP, RAP, RAP . . . You turn up radio to fool yourself into believing that it’s still another car. “Man, I would hate to be THAT guy!” you laugh to yourself. You turn the radio up louder to drown out the annoying noise.

Second stage: Anger or resentment. At this point, there’s no denying that that ticking noise -- better known as a death rattle -- is coming from your car. And now, it’s accompanied by a burning smell, kind of like the first time you tried pancakes on the barbecue. You swear and curse the day you ever laid eyes on “that” car. “Piece of junk! You’re always breaking down! I never should have bought you in the first place. If one more thing goes wrong, I’ll have you crushed . . .” You don’t want to invest another dime because it has already cost you more than its share in headaches. You continue to ignore the signs. Third stage: Bargaining. The sound is louder; so much so that you can hear it over the stereo. The pinetree shaped air freshener dangling from your rear-view mirror is useless against that burnt-barbecued-pancakes smell. And strange puddles of autobodily fluids form under your car. You know you should have taken better care of the ol’ girl; you should have brought it into the shop with the first faint tick from under the hood since vehiclezs don’t have the ability to heal themselves like people do. And you promise you will call your mechanic as soon as you get $28,890 home ... as long as you can make it home. “Please, pleeease, just get me home,” you say as you gently rub the dash. “I promise I will be good to you.

Just pleeeeease get me home!” Fourth stage: Depression. You have lived up to your end of the bargain. You made it to the garage and your mechanic gives you the bad news: she’s a goner. Only now does it hit you that you’re going to have to say goodbye . . . after saying goodbye to plenty of money keeping it going this last while. It turns out that all those threats about taking the car to the scrap yard were selffulfilling prophecies you wish you could take back. But it’s too late. And the fifth stage: Acceptance.
