The excitment of coaching this team is the Saskatchewan company he’ll have with him in Sochi. “I’ve always been proud of the Saskatchewan history in speed skating and the depth of volunteer coaches. If you’ve grown up skating outdoors, sometimes in minus-40 weather, you know our skaters have learned to be tough.” One of the skaters under his wing is Kali Christ, a 22-year-old from Regina. A year ago she twice won silver medals in

A growing reputation for slow food

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

f necessity is the mother of invention, it can also be the mother of some very good food. It was necessity that drove chef Jenni Willems into the kitchen when she was only eight years old. “My mom was a super health nut, so if we wanted something sweet we had to cook it ourselves,” said Willems, smiling over a plate of her fresh, fruit-topped bannock. “I’m a feeder,” she said, before setting the sweet bread and mugs of fresh coffee on her kitchen table. Willems spent her childhood growing up in a cabin at remote Besnard Lake, a small lake north of La Ronge. There was no television reception, so she got busy exploring her woodland surroundings, harvesting berries and experimenting in the family kitchen. “My dad was a scaler, working for the Prince Albert pulpwood mill,” said Willems. “When we eventually had to move to a place closer to a school, Dad found a new lake, put the power in and forged the road. He named it Lamp Lake. It was pretty rustic. We didn’t have a phone til I was in Grade 5. We rented a tiny 12-inch TV for the 1984 Olympics. We could pick up CBC faintly.” Today Willems and her two teenaged children call Saskatoon home, and her catering business is in hot demand. Perhaps best known for her successful small-town restaurant, New Ground Cafe, which she owned and operated out of Birch Hills, Willems is proud of the “slow-food” legacy she has built in the province. “In 2005 I started in a heritage brick building in Birch Hills, which seated 14 people,” said Willems. “The originals owners were open late on Thursday nights; they asked if I wanted to come in with my cappuccino machine and make desserts. Eventually they decided they didn’t want to do the cafe anymore, so I took that over. My first move was to bring in fair-trade coffee and raise the price by 25 cents. That was something that hadn’t been done in that town for a long time.” Just as she is today, Willems was passionate about sourcing local food. “My first use for local food was when this farmer asked if I had any use for field peas,” said Willems. “He brought in a huge bucket and traded me ML42156.A27 for a lunch.”

4 Sask. skaters on team

(Continued from page 1) Olympics when she finished second in the 500 metres in December. She is from White City, just outside of Regina, and often was coached at meets by her father, Brad. Dutton, 24, got the nod by finishing third in the 500-metre trials and fourth in the 1,000 final. Just 10 days ago he picked up a pair of top-five finishes in Japan. He was born in Regina but lists his home club as the one in Humboldt. In addition to his work at Calgary’s Olympic Oval, he has trained at times in Norway. His grandfather Bill is part of the Phoenix Coyotes ownership team. He also owns a kinship to the late Mervyn (Red) Dutton, a defenceman with the Montreal Maroons and New York Americans, later the owner of the Americans and the president of the National Hockey League from 1943 until 1947. Makowsky, 26, comes to the team with Olympic experience. He is also from Regina. In 2008 he was first in Canada at 5,000 and 10,000 metres. He qualified for the 2010 Olympic Games at Vancouver, joining Denny Morrison and Mathieu Giroux in a gold-medal performance in team pursuit on a memorable Feb. 27. At the trials in December, he was fourth in the 1,500 metres with his best time of the season. In addition to Kali Christ, three others from the McClements training team are going to the Olympics: Anastasia Bucsis of Calgary, Brianne Tutt of Airdrie, Alta., and Vincent De Haitre of Cumberland, Ont. For McClements, life around the Olympic Oval in Calgary has been a joy. He’s witnessed some of the greatest progress in performances by the athletes. “When I was 17 I moved to Calgary. I was one of those in the first group of athletes to benefit from the building of the Oval in 1991. They had full-time coaches and offered a season which began early in September. That was an exponential advantage. If I had stayed in Saskatoon, I had to wait until the ice froze. I also trained with the best athletes in the country,” he said. The Oval also dictated a change in speed-skating language. What were once called outdoor events became long-track events, skated on an oval of 400 metres. What were once called indoor events became short-track events, skated on an oval of 111 metres. “The amount of ice time was a benefit. The culture of the sport changed. You adapted to sports sciences, more exercises and the motivation aspects. The competi-

tion kept increasing. We learned to use more tools in coaching. We did more individualization of programs for the skaters. We went from the hand-written programming to wider use of the computers and an immense amount of data collection.” There was a change in the equipment. ”When I skated as a boy in Saskatoon, I’d get a pair of boots which were sized as close to my shoe size as possible. Nowadays all the boots are custom-made for each individual. The clap skate has been a remarkable change.” The clap skate, introduced by the Dutch in the mid-1990s, has the blade attached to the foot of the boot by a hinge at the front. It guarantees the blade stays in contact with the ice longer, promising more natural movement and distributing the energy of the leg more effectively. After its introduction, the Olympic record book at Nagano in 1998 took a beating. McClements liked the idea of becoming a coach when he was a rower in summer time in Saskatoon. He’d do some coaching with the rowers “and it was always in my head that someday I’d work with skaters.” He achieved his Level IV entry position with the National Coaching Institute and also owns a diploma in high-performance coaching. His season runs from early September until the end of March. The Oval closes for maintenance work for two months, but there’s still some dry-land training. Ice is available again by the first week in July. “I’ve watched our elite program grow from probably 15 to somewhere near 30 or better. I’ve been able to coach at three world junior championships and three world senior championships,” said McClements, who has been at events in the United States, Russia, China and most European countries. With the naming of the Canadian team last Wednesday, the Canadians departed Saturday and are spending a week training in Germany before going to Sochi. The long-track events run Feb. 8-19 with the team pursuits on Feb. 21-22. “The skaters from Holland still form a powerhouse. The Americans are skating well. There are some strong skaters from Russia too. We expect to be in the thick of the competition. I really like our chances in the pursuit events.” It’s been one whirlwind year for McClements. He said a little ways down the road he wants to continue his pursuit of criminology and sociology at the University of Calgary.

Chef writing autobiography (Continued from page 3) “I became a ski bum. Spent my whole paycheque on restaurant food I couldn’t afford,” said Willems. “I just remember thinking ‘I’m going to do this someday.’ You’d walk in and you’d smell shrimp and garlic; that was it. Wonderful.” Willems admits local Jasper chefs were her rock stars. While in Jasper, Willems also worked at her uncle’s fruit stand. “It taught me a lot about business and only accepting perfection from your food in every aspect,” she said. “He’d go to the orchards to see how they were treating their staff.” Willems said people also came to Peter’s Fruit Stand because her uncle was a character, which played a leading role in her mandate now that chefs need to be personable, friendly and genuinely care about their customers. In 1996 with two small children in tow, she moved back to Saskatchewan. She sold her baking, specialty coffees and soups at the Prince Albert Farmers’ Market, while also working as a freelance writer. It was at this time that Willems met one of the most influential women in her life: Marie Symes-Grehan of Macdowall. “She’s an amazing woman,” Willems said. “She does this incredible rose-petal jelly using the flowers from around her farm. It sold at the Prince Albert Farmers’ Market and even Vancouver’s Granville market. She is this older hippie lady. She was so awesome. And man, did she know how to sell. She had these gorgeous little birch boxes on her display and lilies from her farm. It’s such a sexy product. “Marie got me started on slow food. She invited us out to her farm — myself and my mother and a handful of other local food players. We each brought a dish. It was a magical night. We laughed, we cried, we told stories. It was more than

SW10037.A27 Sheri

a transaction; it was about emotions and nourishment.” Willems’ philosophy on slow food doesn’t refer to the amount of time it takes to prepare a dish. Instead it’s about taking the time to stop and enjoy what you’re eating, take pleasure in it. It’s about using less ingredients but of a higher quality, and really celebrating where it comes from and taking the time to learn recipes from your elders. Willems sold her Birch Hills restaurant building — not the business, she’s quick to point out — in 2012 and moved to Saskatoon to start catering. She also runs a corporate in-house bistro in downtown Saskatoon. “Right now I’m doing everything from five dinners for people in a house to a dinner for 150 organic farmers in a hall,” said Willems. “I like a challenge. I’m a vegetarian, but I taste the food I cook. I understand that a large part of the population likes meat. My goal is to give people real food and put a face to it: really tell the story behind it, of the recipe, of the producers.” Willems is also wrapping up the production of a book of autobiographical short stories with recipes. It will be released in 2015. “I love writing. This book includes 12 recipes and 12 stories. True stories,” she said. “Every chapter is my voice from that age.” Willems said her story is about using intuition, creativity and hard work to create the life you want. A die-hard yoga enthusiast, she talks about overcoming obstacles, dealing with stress and building strength, and ultimately finding happiness. “If you have an idea, you should explore it,” she said. “It should be beneficial to people, not just you. And you have to be prepared to work long and hard.” Willems can be reached at chefjenni@ icloud.com.

Concert Band to feature music of Rafael Mendez

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express

Answers on page 11

SUDOKU

afael Mendez, one of the world’s outstanding trumpet players and a star particularly from 1950 until 1975, still has an influence on those following in his footsteps. Two of his selections — Czardas and La Virgen de la Macarena — will be featured in a performance by the Saskatoon Concert Band at Aden Bowman’s Castle Theatre on Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Mendez often performed in Saskatoon, dating back to appearances first at the Capitol Theatre and then at the Centennial Auditorium after it opened in 1968. His friendships with John Schoen, then the conductor of the Concert Band, and Bill Shulhan, owner of the Saskatoon Piano House, convinced him to keep coming back to Saskatoon. He died in 1981. Mendez was a gifted player. As a child, he was the cornetist for Pancho Villa, the prominent Mexican revolutionary general in his homeland. Mendez was hailed for his tone, range, technique and unparalleled double tonguing. John Duggleby, a trumpeter with the band from 1966 until 1983 and now back again, has the fondest of memories of Mendez. “He was very much a sharing individual. His professionalism got the best out of the people on stage with him,” he said. “I first saw him while I was attending high school; he was an inspirational player. After high school I contacted John Schoen and wanted to be in his band.” Twice with the band, Duggleby played in trumpet trios with Mendez. On one occasion, Phil Berg was the other trumpeter. The other time it was Bill Reid. “I knew I was on stage with one of the

great trumpet players of the day. I tried not to be awestruck. I was just concentrating on getting my job done,” said Duggleby. George Charpentier, a clarinetist who became conductor of the band in 1996, never got to play with Mendez, but he’s the person who went through the band’s huge library and pulled out the manuscripts Mendez left behind. “I kept thinking it was time to renew this association with the Mendez music. Back in May 2009 we had used Ryan Cole as a guest soloist, and he played the Aruturian Trumpet Concerto and La Virgen de la Macarena for us. He impressed John Schoen and me. I went looking for him again.” Cole played trumpet in the Saskatoon Holy Cross High School band and completed his bachelor of music and bachelor of music education programs with distinction at the University of Saskatchewan in 2009. He received his master of music degree in orchestral trumpet performance under Paul Merkelo at McGill University. During his time at Montreal, he frequently appeared with the Montreal Symphony. In 2010 he became a full-scholarship member of the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, Calif. He has played many times with the Saskatoon Symphony, was the assistant principal chair with the Regina Symphony, and he is now in his second year as principal trumpet with the Victoria Symphony. The Saskatoon Concert Band has 42 members. In its wide range of music, it delivers orchestral transcriptions, original wind literature, light classics, marches and Broadway show tunes.

blocking the road? That is a big issue for us. Question: Is it possible to provide the public information in regards to how much land the city sold in 2013. And how much money the city made in the year of 2013? Mayor Atchison: That’s a wonderful question because people are always talking about our land branch and what it means to the citizens of Saskatoon. It is a tremendous benefit for us. A council committee just saw the numbers. I believe the total sales for 2013 totalled $125.7 million. There were 593 single-family lots sold, nearly 24 acres of multi-family and institutional land and 54.8 acres of industrial land. I don’t have the specific dollar figure in terms of profits, but all of the profits are reinvested in the city. A lot of those dollars have gone into attainable housing. Some of those dollars

have gone into sports and culture. Some have gone into the roadways. The dollars all go into capital projects. We don’t put these dollars into our base for the mill rate. Some might ask, “Why don’t you do that?” The reason is there is no promise of consistency in what profits will be. One year you can have a stellar year and the next year may not be so good. So council and administration have said we are going to use these dollars for capital projects that benefit the entire city. By the way the annual reports of the Land Branch are on the city’s website. Just go to Saskatoon.ca and type in ‘2012 Land Annual report’ and you can see it for yourself.

Here’s a bit of a strange activity, traffic violations, etc. In fact breakdown.

some RTs on community events. The account indicates it is not monitored 24/7, but it says nothing about accepting reports on crime. Regina would be in bottom place on my scale of police Twitter-savviness if it weren’t for Winnipeg. Winnipeg: This police service has a whopping 5,700 followers and two Twitter accounts. The service does tweet daily though, including weekends. Tweets include some news releases, some replies and RTs regarding community events. The account indicates that it is not monitored 24/7 and should not be used to report crimes. Some tweeps are told to call the non-emergency line, some are told “officers are responding,” and one was told information cannot be taken via Twitter. Consistency is not the WPD’s Twitter-forte. Confusion is. Toronto: The Canadian winner in my books. The TPD has 69,000 followers. And while the account indicates it is not monitored 24/7, it does not say people should not report crimes on Twitter. The TPD tweets daily, including weekends. There are lots and lots of RTs and information regarding community campaigns and citizen engagement. However, it does not reply to anyone. The TPD not only promotes its own Twitter account, it promotes the dozens of Toronto police officers who also have social media accounts. In fact they have a web page dedicated to it, listing the officers and links to their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. To quote a Tweet from Toronto police officer Randall Arsenault (@PCArsenault): “Social media has changed the way police engage the community, and we believe it has led to the drop in crime.” That’s a huge statement right there. Halifax: The police force has 17,000 followers. It is the only police service to list the

names of the officers managing their Twitter account (four in total). While this account indicates it is not monitored 24/7, the HPS does tweet daily. There are no responses that I could find advising people to call the station. It seems a trend in Halifax for citizens to tweet about allegedly errant police officers -- speeding, not responding to obvious violations and so on. Citizen traffic violations are also a popular report. To each one the HPD replies: “We’ll look into it.” How does Saskatoon measure up? The SPS has approximately 15,000 followers, tweets on weekdays and RTs community information, recruiting, news releases, requests for public assistance, etc. As with all of them, the account is not monitored 24/7 and won’t take tips or information. The SPS Twitter account does reply regularly to citizens, sometimes multiple times (even to the idiot who asked them where he should take his sick parakeet). Often the replies point the tweeter in another direction -- to phone something in or to City Hall. That said, when someone tweeted the SPS asking why a cop car was parked at a certain location, they replied that the call was “no longer in the queue” so there was no info. OK, so there’s clearly interaction between the Twitter account manager and dispatch or the officers on the ground. Why would an officer’s whereabouts be fair social-media game but not a report on an erratic driver? In Saskatoon, begging off on a Twitter roadblock tip because of “lack of resources” seems a bit unreasonable. Halifax has a higher population than us (by about 30 per cent) yet dedicates four officers to managing its account. Saskatoon really fares no better or worse than the majority of Canadian cities. What I do know for sure is social media isn’t going away. If the resources to deal with it aren’t there now, hopefully the planning is there for the future.

employees. Saskatoon does not enjoy the income security these other cities do. It is anticipated that by 2020, onequarter of Saskatoon residents will be seniors. Although we have some wealthy seniors in our city, the majority live on fixed incomes. If the city’s estimates are accurate, most residents will pay an additional $84 this year on their water bill, along with $58 for recycling, for a total of $142 over and above their property tax bill. How will these seniors on fixed incomes continue to support massive mill-rate increases — with this year’s being 7.43 per cent and water/sewer rate increases of 9.5 per cent for the next three years — before hitting the poverty level? Many seniors living solely on Old Age Security and Canada pension are already there given the increased cost of living in our city. This increase is intended to be used to fund operating and capital costs of water and wastewater treatment plants, distribution and collection systems, roadway damage associated to upgrades and the redevelopment of core areas, and to upgrade the aged infrastructure in existing core areas. While it is fair to increase rates to support the operating and capital costs of treatment plants that we all use, will any of the money generated from this increase be spent on upgrading the

downtown underground infrastructure to accommodate the new City Centre plan and its anticipated quadrupled population? In new neighbourhoods the developers pay for the infrastructure and add their costs to the sale of the property. If the developers want to build sky-high residential buildings downtown, they should be required to pay for the necessary upgraded infrastructure. And like the new neighbourhoods, add the cost to future purchasers. Our bedroom communities are growing at a faster rate than the city itself. A recent news announcement spoke about a Saskatoon company moving into Corman Park. Is it reasonable to speculate that the cost of land and taxes outside the city was a lure for this business? And how many other businesses are considering such a move? And will employees of those businesses relocate with them? It is incumbent on council to plan for the future of our city. While it may be true that public amenities and the excitement of growth are attractive to those considering residence here, there has to be a balance between the future and the present. And consideration has to be given to the quality of life for those already residing here. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Living in the past at the Heritage Festival

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

ree, indoor family fun on a Sunday afternoon; does it get any better than that in the dead of winter? The Heritage Festival of Saskatoon is gearing up for its 26th annual celebration, taking place Sunday, Feb. 2 from noon until 5 p.m. at the Western Development Museum. The Saskatoon Express sat down with organizer Nadine Charabin, a manager at the Saskatchewan Archives Board, to get the details on this year’s festivities. Express: What is the Heritage Festival of Saskatoon? Nadine: The Heritage Festival of Saskatoon is an annual event that occurs on the first Sunday in February each year, during both Heritage Month and Archives Week. The festival recognizes and celebrates the heritage of Saskatoon and area. It features interactive displays by various local heritage, cultural, multicultural, artistic and recreational groups, in addition to heritage demonstrations, local entertainment and special activities for children. Admission and parking are free, so everyone in Saskatoon can participate. Express: What is the theme for 2014? Nadine: The theme is Bridge Mixture: Who Do We Think We Were? Celebrating Saskatoon’s Diversity. This theme has been blossoming in a number of interesting ways, such as drawing in new heritage and cultural groups, focusing on population diversity in the city both in the past and present, including new immigrant groups that will be participating at the festival, as well as gender diversity. Express: What are a few of the festival’s entertainment highlights? Nadine: The opening parade will include a performance by the Wanuskewin Dance Troupe and a parade throughout the entire museum led by Scottish piper Andrew Whiting. And Cash Back, a Johnny Cash LS9088493.A27 Liza tribute band, is back by popular demand.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Good-looking PMs, ugly-looking sweaters • A website named Buzzfeed has ranked our 22 prime ministers based on looks. The top three: 1. John Turner; 2. Arthur Meighen; 3. Kim Campbell. Three thoughts: 3. The shorter the term the better you look; 2. If he becomes PM, Justin Trudeau will no doubt knock Turner off the top (Trudeau’s father is ranked No. 8., Stephen Harper came in at No. 16); 1. I have always been a Dief man (No. 20). • From Janice Hough: “You thought Jan. 23 was busy for you? How about all the comedians who had to dig up all their Lindsay Lohan jokes and cross out her name to insert Justin Bieber? • TC Chong, on Bieber being arrested for drag racing in Miami while under the influence: “He was driving a rented Lamborghini going 80 mph in a 50 mph zone. Whaaaaat? Here in BC he would have been passed by little old ladies in Toyotas.” • If curling can be successful in Las Vegas, why can’t hockey be successful in Toronto? • From Bill Littlejohn: “Now that the Super Bowl features two teams from two states that have legalized marijuana, can there be a late addition to the halftime show — Cheech and Chong?” • From Torben Rolfsen: “I wasn’t sure if we were seeing Team USA’s openingceremony outfits or a preview of 2014’s ugly Christmas sweaters.” • The other night on TSN, Darren Dreger went after Andrei Markov pretty good. While not disputing what Dreger said, I did wonder if he would have gone as hard had the player been Dion Phaneuf. I think not. • Littlejohn, on Guinness confirming that two men at a Las Vegas electronics store set a world record by watching TV for 87 consecutive hours: “It was the last two minutes of an NBA game.” • Chong, on Dennis Rodman checking into a clinic to treat alcoholism: “When he sobered up he asked, ‘I went where, did what and sang Happy Birthday to who?’” • From Rolfsen: “If it’s really cold at the Super Bowl, Bruno Mars might feel like he’s walking on the moon.”

• I am growing weary of Toronto scribes travelling with the Leafs saying or tweeting how embarrassed they are by Rob Ford. And his behaviour affected your life how? • A total of 275 million stars are born every day. And none of them will ever play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. • From Hough: “Houston Mayor Annise Parker has wedded her longtime partner Kathy Hubbard in California. Texas law still prohibits gay marriage. But it’s still OK to shoot each other.” • From Rolfsen: “Why was John Tortorella trying to get into the Calgary dressing room between periods? Is Larry Brooks currently embedded with the Flames?” • Chong, on a Dutch company promoting a trip to Mars, where volunteers will colonize the planet living in a bubble with free food and rent: “My son said no thanks, he already is living under those same conditions here; plus no video games were mentioned for Mars travellers.” • From Littlejohn: “If Seattle wins the Super Bowl, the locker room will contain 50 rolls of plastic to cover the lockers and cameras, 400 bottles of champagne and one syringe of Thorazine for Richard Sherman.” • The Captain and Tennille are divorcing after 39 years of marriage. Three reasons for Tennille leaving him: 3. He has no talent; 2. She wants to start a solo career; 1. He isn’t really a captain. • Hough, on the Captain and Tennille breakup: “Wonder what the cause was? Him playing Muskrat Love after she told him please don’t Do That To Me One More Time?” • From Rolfsen: “Ron Burgundy cancelled his Olympic guest-announcing trip after he found out the games are not in Scotchy. • Author Hunter S. Thompson used a typewriter to copy down The Great Gatsby and A Farewell to Arms so he could learn what it took to write to a book. I can relate. I got the feel for writing columns by typing out children’s books.

Life is not rational, so you need to be

ear Lianne,

I am a bright and accomplished woman. I get plenty of attention from men. My husband and I split up six months ago. It was a dysfunctional relationship that had many highs and lows. My husband has some significant issues that interfered with us having a healthy relationship for the past few years. According to him, he has no problems.

LIANNE TREGOBOV

Relationships

Fidelity is questionable, and I went from being his No. 1 priority to not ranking at all. Here is my problem: it seems as though my brain has an autoerase component to it. I find I miss him terribly and tend to have to remind myself about the misery he caused. I really wish he would come to me and tell me how much he misses me and how much he wants to try to salvage our marriage. Please help me figure out what
