ANDY AND I DROVE out to Blackstrap one morning recently. We thought it would be nice to get out of the city for a couple of hours and perhaps find some interesting things for her to photograph.

We were sure there would be people ice fishing. And we thought we might run into crosscountry skiers.

We happened to be at the lake when the U of S Huskie Motorsports Formula SAE racing team were driving their cars on the ice.

When fourth-year engineering student Brett Derkach saw Sandy taking photos he skated over, and we chatted Editor for about 10 minutes.

I whipped up a short story to go with the photos. It is on Page 18.

Sandy also grabbed a couple of spec shots, including the one of the man on his cellphone outside his pop-up ice-fishing tent. We later walked onto the ice and met John Allen, Chuck Allen and Rick Hazell in the comfort of their tent.

They were having lots of laughs but didn’t have a lot of fish. Well none actually.

“We aren’t doing this for food,” Rick quipped.

WE ARE RUNNING this week a piece commissioned by Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee. We are going to make them a regular feature. To go along with the society’s first submission, Joelle Tomlinson has done a piece on the group.

I became more aware of the importance of maintaining ties to our past when the Capitol Theatre was demolished. My goodness; how could that have been allowed to happen?

There is going to be an emptiness when the Traffic Bridge is gone. How many of us had to drive across it during our driver education? I was one of the lucky ones that never scraped the sides — even when I crossed it in a 1973 Ford.

Rick Hazell, John Allen and Chuck Allen (left to right) spent a beautiful Saturday morning fishing at Blackstrap recently.

JAMES WEINMASTER and I had a great time at the Warm the Heart Soup Cook-Off event at the PotashCorp WinterShines festival last week. Local chefs donated their time and expertise to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. About 400 people jammed into the Farmers’ Market on a cold winter night to sample the soups.

James and I were paired with Bill Matthews of Two Gun Quiche House.

It was a pleasure spending three hours with Bill and salivating over his creation.

People, me included, don’t realize how much work goes into those pots of soup.

Bill said he had been gathering the ingredients for the cook-off for months and spent a day and a half cooking.

Two Gun Quiche House is located at 135 20th Street West. Hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The winner of the event was Darren Craddock of the Riverside Country Club.

Darren won both the judges’ award and the people’s choice award.

Hockey’s Hay days

Major influences in Summit Series and NHL

F

or most hockey fans an Olympic gold-medal final between Canada and Russia is the ultimate showdown.

There was a time when the rivalry wasn’t as fierce.

That changed with the 1972 Summit Series, a legendary eight-game playoff that came to be because of the perseverance and diplomatic skills of Charlie Hay. Charlie and his two sons — Jim and Bill — all played hockey for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies. An engineer by profession, Charlie was the founder of Hi-Way Refineries on 11th Street in Saskatoon. He later became president of BA Oil. After it moved its headquarters to Toronto, he was responsible for changing the company’s name to Gulf Canada Limited. He retired in 1969.

“That was just about the time the federal government was launching a task force on sports,” said Bill, a former Chicago Blackhawk who now lives in Calgary. “Dad became president of Hockey Canada and he had two missions in mind.

One was building an international best-against-best competition NED against the Russians. The other POWERS was stronger research and development to make the game People better for Canadian youngsters.

“He made nine trips to Russia to build the groundwork for the 1972 Summit Series. If it’s hard to fly into Russia nowadays, can you imagine how tough the travel was at that time? He was 70 years old.

“He went into the Hockey Canada job wanting a good mix of political figures, businessmen and hockey people. He had an immediate ally in Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey League.

There was always some turmoil with Bunny Ahearne, who was the head of international body and didn’t seem to like Canada. In spite of some challenges, Dad brought Russia and Canada together for the series,” said Bill.

One of the conditions set down for the opening games in Montreal and Toronto was that half of the tickets would be available to season-ticket holders and the other half would go on public sale.

“Right away Sam Pollock, general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, objected and said his season-ticket holders deserved better. Dad told him if the Canadiens didn’t like the plan, he could move the game to Ottawa.

Sam changed his mind.”

There were 18,818 at the Montreal Forum on the first night. Canadian fans were soon in shock as Russia went 2-1-1 on Canadian ice. The teams returned to Russia, where the Russians won the fifth game. Then Canada won 3-2, 4-3 and 6-5. The last one was on the famous goal by Paul Henderson with 34 seconds left in the game.

“Dad tended to stay in the background. He never received as much credit as he should have. Even in Bobby Orr’s recent book most of the credit for the series is given to Alan Eagleson. Most of Eagleson’s responsibilities were in getting the players on board.

Dad was at centre ice for the faceoffs in the games in Montreal and Toronto. I took his place in Vancouver.

I was the playmaker Bill grew up in Regina after his

and Bobby was the scorer. We understood each other’s role. Bobby could skate and shoot. Once he got some experience and channelled his talents, he was dynamite.”

Bill retired from the Hawks at the age of 32. He used his geology degree to go into business and ran Bow Valley Industries in Calgary for 24 years before stepping back.

“My dad always preached hard work, had the ability to get along with people and had a great sense of humour. I think those were the in-bred qualities of a boy growing up in Saskatchewan and finding his own way.

“Yes, what he did to arrange the Russia-Canada series was important, but better still was his commitment to improve the game.

I think of his leadership and Dave King’s work in shooting videos, arranging seminars, gathering the knowledge and information. Then it was made available to everyone overseas, and Canadians even went there to coach. They learned from everything we taught them, and that’s why they are so good today.”

Bill admits some nervousness about the current game in Canada.

“It bothers me when I don’t see the respect for fellow players.

There is a lack of teaching. I don’t like some of the media involvement. I watched the world junior tournament, and our team was playing a long way from home. Yet the media scrutinized every move and made the kids feel like they had let their country down when they lost.

That’s not fair.”

Bill’s thoughts on the Olympics?

“I think the leadership of the organization is very good, and Mike Babcock is an outstanding individual as their coach. But we all know it is a game of breaks and bounces, and anything can happen on ice.”

mocracy for granted sometimes. We have unprecedented access to local government and a multitude of access points to deliver requests, concerns or ideas to City Hall and to impact governance.

Let’s be honest. The average citizen of Saskatoon isn’t paying attention to what goes on in city council chambers.

You’re not that busy planning your #yxecc PowerPoint presentation. You might call a civic department or perhaps even your city councillor if things are really bad. However, I’m pretty sure that most of us sit back and hope or assume or a combination thereof that our elected officials are doing their job. And for the most part rightly so.

With a 33-per-cent voter turnout in 2012’s municipal election, the majority of Saskatoon residents didn’t appear to care if they had a choice anyway.

to me and said, “Very cool!”

Some of my favourite poetry was written by Lorna Crozier, especially a series that she wrote based on the Sinclair Ross work As For Me and My House.

I can sense the Prairie in the words as I share them. I called Crozier to ask her permission to share her works and words. She was delighted.

I received the same response from Kim Addonizio, a San Francisco poet whose work has captivated me for years. Addonizio’s What Do Women Want is well-known in American poetry circles. When asked permission to share her work, her response was, “Just say my name right.”

My most memorable meeting was with beat poet Amiri Baraka in Chicago a few years ago. Baraka, born Leroi Jones, changed his name in the 1960s. His work is controversial, but thought-provoking.

I love his line “Is it better to have loved and lost than to have put linoleum in your living room?”

When I met him I was so awestruck that I could barely get a word out other than to say I loved his work and enjoyed sharing it.

“That’s nice,” he responded.

Baraka passed away in January at the age of 79.

Over the years I have penned some of my own poetry, realizing that is was only fair to share some of my own.

All short, sweet remnants of life are part of the poetry. All came about because of hearing a word on the radio triggering one action that triggered a reaction that brought about sharing words. Ah, the poetry of life.

Dad needs to move on, but not with her!

ear Lianne, My mother passed away two years ago. I am all for my dad moving on.

The problem is he met a widowed lady that is using him. Every time she needs a car repair she calls him, and he jumps.

She needed snow tires, and my good old pops sprung for those as well.

Relationships She has talked about this at the Legion, and it got back to my sister. Both of us have tried to explain to him what is going on. The problem is he and mom were married for 42 years, and this is all new to him. We would like him to meet you, but we just don’t know how to approach him. Just for the record my sister and I are all for him dating and finding a new lady. He is a good old, hard-working farmer that has an empty heart, and I’ll be darned if I’m gonna let this gal use him. — Rick Dear Rick, It is always so easy for outsiders to see a situation far more clearly than those in the situation.

Widowed men often struggle when they don’t feel they have a purpose. Go easy on him when talking about this woman. Ask him to explain what he is getting out of the relationship. Explain to him that there are many wonderful, available women. Providing your dad is agreeable and no longer seeing this woman, I would be happy to meet with him.

When I do the math, he is likely in his 60s. I have incredible women in his age group. I suggest you ask him if you can call me in his presence (204888-1529). Hopefully he will feel comfortable talking with me when you call. I will be interviewing in Saskatoon Feb. 25-27 and would love to meet him if that is what he would like.

Go Downton Twenties-inspired fashion roaring back

W

ith Baz Luhrmann’s reincarnation of The Great Gatsby, 1920s fashions were brought back to life on both the silver screen and pages of fashion magazines. Though we saw these looks emerging in 2012 prior to Gatsby’s release, we’re still seeing many 1920s-inspired Erin outfits on the runway. After all, Gray the January premiere of DownFashion Editor ton Abbey series four still has viewers captivated and designers inspired by 1920s fashion.

Twenties styles reimagined by contemporary designers are more than just beautiful dresses and styles; these modern designs are an important reminder of how far women’s rights have come in 100 years. In the Roaring Twenties a woman’s place in society was evolving. The first wave of feminism brought about social changes for women.

Subsequently women began rejecting the constrictive fashions of previous decades. In the 1920s hemlines were higher, hairstyles were shorter and silhouettes were looser than ever before -- a far more pragmatic approach to fashion than previous decades.

As any avid Downton Abbey viewer knows, both Lady Edith and Cousin Rose come into their own as independent women in the 1920s era of the show, while simultaneously adopting the new fashions of the time. For young women graduating

high school, choosing a 1920s style is not only fashionable and current, it serves as an important reminder that they can carve out any path they choose as a result of women’s rights movements of the past and present.

There are also more light-hearted reasons to choose a ’20s-style dress. With costumes from both The Great Gatsby and Downton Abbey receiving critical acclaim, these styles translate beautifully to elegant highfashion choices for graduation. Choosing a period-inspired gown may not earn you an Academy Award (or an A in history), but it will make you feel and look Oscar-worthy.

The three gowns shown are all reminiscent of 1920s style. Taylor’s romantic soft pink and white-feathered gown is accented with jewels to show off a narrow waist. Sophia models a gown of glitzy gold beads and jewels, which is sure to turn heads. Hailey shows an elegant old Hollywood-style mermaid silhouette gown in bright teal lace. For what is many young women’s first foray into formal wear, a 1920s look is a fashionable choice for high-school graduation.

If Daisy Buchanan and Lady Mary Craw-

ley aren’t your fashion muses, Taylor, Hailey and Sophia also show contemporary styles that are perfect for high-school graduation.

Taylor shows a classic prom ball-gown style, made unique with a colourful floral appliqué. Sophia models a glamorous red dress, which features an ornate, bejewelled back and train. Hailey’s eye-catching bright yellow dress is adorned with beaded straps and pleated shoulder train.

The models’ 1920s-inspired and contemporary dresses are all designed by Tony Bowls and are available at Klassique Designs in Scotia Centre. Kajoo Kamal and her team of experts at Klassique Designs can help you find a graduation gown, whether it’s ’20s-esque or contemporary, to suit you perfectly. The authentic 1920s cars and Boomtown Street backdrop at the Western Development Museum, as well as other museum locations, compliment all fashions shown.

Janalyn Mehler and Karla Weinberger from Soul Salons, a Vida of New Orleans concept salon (7 - 405 Circle Drive), created the models’ hairstyles to compliment the dresses.

La Troupe du Jour presents play written by Saskatonian

S

Tammy Roberts Saskatoon Express

askatoon’s French-language theatre company, La Troupe du Jour, is getting set to introduce its audience to a labour of love: local playwright Ian Nelson’s original script, entitled La chambre blanche (The White Room). The script focuses on one man’s desperate attempt to escape to Canada from his politically unstable foreign country. The play tackles issues such as terrorism and racial profiling.

Denis Rouleau has spent the last 25 years as La Troupe du Jour’s artistic director. Originally from the Quebec City area, Rouleau relocated to Saskatoon to teach drama. It was not long before he connected with La Troupe, and he has been with working with the group ever since. Today Rouleau is proud to be showcasing the work of a local playwright.

“We have been working with Ian Nelson on this script for some time,” said Rouleau. “I read the first draft of this play three years ago. At that time I invited Ian to be part of our drop-in program, where he worked with a coach. This year we knew it was time to go into production.”

Nelson, who is fluent in both English and French, wrote the script in French, which is the spoken language of La Troupe’s performances.

“Ian Nelson is well known in the artistic and playwright community in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan,” said Rouleau. “While this is his first play in French, he is a veteran of the theatre in Saskatoon, having worked with many different groups. I think it’s a good tribute to him.”

Two actors comprise the cast of production: Saskatoon’s Bruce McKay and Quebec City’s Paul Fruteau de Laclos.

“Bruce McKay is a local actor. You’ll have seen him at places like Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan or at Persephone,” said Rouleau. “He is a really good actor. I also brought in a very young actor from Quebec City — Paul Fruteau de Laclos — who has just graduated Quebec City’s Conservatory of the Dramatic Arts. He came here in early 2014. It’s his first time in Saskatchewan and Saskatoon, and he’s really happy.”

Rouleau’s trek to Quebec to find an actor is indicative of both his desire to find the perfect performer for the role and the challenges a French-speaking theatre company

Bruce McKay is one of the stars of La chambre blanche (Photo Supplied) faces on the Prairies.

“For this play I did it because of the nature of the character,” said Rouleau. “I had a need for a specific type of actor, and there was nobody locally who could do it.

Sometimes we get actors from other cities as well, such as Winnipeg or Edmonton. It depends on the needs of the production. It is one of our challenges: finding the right people. The pool of local Francophone artists is limited.”

Hues Art Supply Former Kenderine director opens store

A

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

fter 24 years with the University of Saskatchewan, local artist, teacher and entrepreneur Paul Trottier found himself a casualty of the high-profile job cuts that have been sweeping campus faculty.

Not only was his role as director slashed, the Kenderine Campus at Emma Lake, where he had spent eight years nurturing budding artists, was closed.

Driven by a passion for his craft, Saskatchewan history, and his students’ future success, Trottier has just opened Hues Art Supply on the corner of Lorne Avenue and Taylor Street in the former Lorne Avenue Drug building.

In the brightly lit, newly renovated store, walls of canvas line one wall, while straight rows of paint brushes in all shapes and sizes march down the aisle of another. Paint in every medium and hues of every colour bloom in palettes all over the place.

“Are you having fun? That’s the big question,” said Trottier cheerfully to a former student, now customer, perusing the canvases. “The only thing I’ve painted is walls for the past six months. But when I get back to it, look out.

“The base of our business is art supply for all level of artists. I come from the school system, so I’ll be working with teachers to get art supplies to them at a reasonable price. We’re bringing art supplies to the city that are accessible, quality and affordable. Convenience is also really important. We have lots of free parking.”

The prices in Hues are competitive, often even better than big chain art supply stores, he said.

There is no shortage of artists in Saskatchewan, as Trottier knows.

His second goal for the business is to promote that talent.

“We’re going to be running the gallery around the entire store,” said Trottier, who belongs to a Saskatoon group of artists LS9088494.B03 Liza called Men Who Paint.

Renew business licences online

T

he City of Saskatoon is making it easier to apply for and renew business licences.

Business License Online is a new tool for business operators to apply for or renew their business licence online. It is safe, easy to use, and accepts payments from major credit cards, according to a release from the city.

New business license applications and renewals may continue to be submitted by mail or in person.

“The city is very pleased to offer this online service to businesses,” Alan Wallace, director of planning and development, said in the release.

“As part of the Saskatoon Strategic Plan, the city continues to offer a business-friendly Store owner Paul Trottier is also part of the Men Who Paint group environment by providing (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) value-added services and improvements in efficiency.”

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Oakland cheerleaders want more up front

• Janice Hough, on Southwest Airlines announcing it will start flying to Aruba, the Bahamas and Jamaica: “Hope they have comprehensive pilot training first. From the air those Caribbean islands all kind of look alike.”

• Breaking News: NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden will light the Olympic flame in Sochi.

• From Torben Rolfsen: “Roberto Luongo said the Canucks ‘need to play 60 minutes.’ I’m not sure the CBS news show has a team, but I’m betting the Canucks could score five or six goals against them.”

• TC Chong, on a Pittsburgh-area McDonald’s restaurant drive-thru employee being arrested for selling heroin at her work station: “Apparently McSmack is not officially on the menu there.”

• I get the appeal of Sidney Crosby starring in Tim Horton’s commercials, but I’m not sure about the one with Ron MacLean sipping Maxwell House coffee.

• From Hough: “The city of Atlanta must be run by men. Who else could get into so much trouble over just a few inches?”

• Bill Littlejohn, on a couple of Seattle fans naming their newborn daughter Cydnee Leigh 12th Mann: “The doctor said when she cried she set a hospital decibel record.”

• Two headlines I would like to see: 2.

Bieber going to jail; 1. Burris to play in lingerie league.

• From Rolfsen: “The good news is the Phoenix Coyotes are changing their name.

The bad news is it’s not to the Quebec Nordiques or Seattle Grunge.”

• Chong, on Toronto Mayor Rob Ford coming to the defence of Justin Bieber when he was arrested for assault: “He said the Bieb was just an ordinary 19-year-old kid

and would make a fine deputy mayor.”

• Hough, on a New Jersey couple auctioning off the rights to name their baby girl, with bids starting at $20,000: “Wonder how much of the proceeds they are setting aside for future therapy.”

• Rolfsen, on Jonas Hiller getting the first shutout of the year in Dodger Stadium: “Your move, Clayton Kershaw.”

• Chong, on Oakland Raiders cheerleaders suing the team for violating labour laws by not even paying them as much as $5 per hour for time spent working: “’You can do that?’ asked CFL players.”

• Littlejohn, on Carlos Zambrano apologizing for his part in a Winter League brawl: “The good news is he is in mid-season form.”

• Hough, on Royal Caribbean cancelling a cruise after hundreds of people got the norovirus: “Maybe they have it all wrong.

Maybe the line should market the ship as ‘The only cruise where you’re guaranteed to lose weight.’”

• Chong, on a Denver radio station refusing to play music from Seattle-area musicians in the lead-up to the Super Bowl: “Oh yeah? Just try ordering a Denver Omelet in Seattle.”

• Rolfsen, on Warren Moon losing $200,000 in a scam involving Miami Heat tickets: “Now he knows how Knicks and Lakers celebrity fans feel.”

• Chong, on a Stats Canada report stating the average cell phone cost per year has risen from $94 in 1997 to $837 in 2012: “And this doesn’t include fines for talking and texting while driving.”

• Hillary Clinton hasn’t driven a car since 1996. I’m thinking she was afraid of finding Bill in the backseat.

Views of the World

Mavs owner puts money where his mouth is

By RJ Currie

• A Saskatoon shopkeeper says Canadian authorities have banned imported products such as Marmite and Ovaltine because they pose a health risk. While they were at it, they banned watching the Buffalo Sabres.

• American opera star and soprano Renée Fleming was asked to sing the national anthem at this year’s Super Bowl.

That’s one way to start the game on a high note.

• A U.S. petition to deport Justin Bieber has over 100,000 signatures, further damaging the Bieb’s reputation. It gets worse: Toronto mayor Rob Ford has been defending him.

• A Denver radio station banned Seattle bands Heart, Pearl Jam, Nirvana and others to create Super Bowl “mojo” for the Broncos. They went back and forth on Band of Horses.

• Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens had an NHL record 59-save shutout against the Sharks. Hard to imagine having to turn aside so many scoring attempts — unless you’re Kate Upton.

• Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo has retired after 20 seasons. He leaves as the CFL’s all-time leader in passing yards gained and Canadian Tire money earned.

ESPN says Mark Cuban’s latest NBA fi • ne means the Mavs owner has been dinged for almost $2 million, mostly for remarks about officials. Now that’s being at a loss for words.

• Coach Jim Harbaugh’s wife said she

dislikes him wearing pleated pants. So she probably didn’t like Seattle scoring from the Niners’ 40 when Marshawn Lynch found a crease.

• Metro UK reports a German lottery winner flushed hundreds of thousands of dollars down the toilet. In related news, the Blue Bombers offered a contract to Henry Burris.

• A flatulent herd reportedly caused an explosion that nearly lifted the roof off a dairy barn in Germany. A cautionary tale for anyone who frequents NFL lockerrooms.

• Nineteen-year-old Canadian tennis sensation Eugenie Bouchard said she’d like to date Justin Bieber. I thought she knew better than to lose at love.

• In hindsight, does it seem cruel the Winnipeg Jets fired a guy named Noel so close to Christmas?

• Sochi Olympic officials are being criticized for equipping individual washroom stalls with two toilets. Maybe it’s Russia’s take on two heads are better than one.

• Jets quarterback Geno Smith got kicked off a plane because he wouldn’t stop using his cell phone. Afterwards, Rex Ryan blamed it on a blown call.

• A teenage girl in California is in the news for buying a muffin that turned out to resemble a dog. The feeling is shared by anyone who bought Milwaukee Bucks tickets.

• The Rangers-Devils game at Yankee Stadium was delayed because of glare.

Glares can be dangerous — especially if they’re from your wife.
