Rent

Armstrong brings booming voice to musical Ricardo Alvarado (left) and Rob Armstrong rehearse a scene for the Summer Players production of Rent (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express he first time the entire cast of Rent gathered for a rehearsal, Rob Armstrong opened up his booming voice and sang the heartbreaker, I’ll Cover You. Jaws dropped. Moments later, tears rained down. Somewhere between the voice and the subject matter, even the cast — familiar with the music and the plot — couldn’t help but cry. It’s a very moving show, admits Armstrong with some humility.

“If emotions aren’t evoked from the audience members, then we are not conveying the message as it should be conveyed,” he said in an interview. Rent is the multi-award-winning rock musical written by Jonathan Larson, and based on Giacomo Puccini’s opera La Boheme. Where the original opera takes place in Paris, Rent is located in New York. Where tuberculosis had its way with the poor and artistic in La Boheme, HIV and AIDS take their toll in Rent. The show was written in the late 1980s, a time when

the gay community was the most affected by HIV/AIDs. In Saskatoon, it’s Summer Players’ first production of the season, running Nov. 5 to Nov. 8 at the Broadway Theatre. For Armstrong, it’s his first Summer Players appearance. “There’s everything from overjoyed to love to lust to sadness, sorrow and coping,” said Armstrong. “It’s a play that truly does draw out every emotion in one, and the emotional highs and lows that we go through in a rehearsal just shows what

kind of a musical this is and the effect it has on people. “We were talking yesterday how we were going to have to start bringing boxes of Kleenex to practice, just to get through the rehearsal process.” Do not expect only tears, added Armstrong. There is also pace and fun and great music, and a great message. “They’re all as upbeat as possible while still having a realistic view of what’s going on around them. (Continued on page 4)

CAM HUTCHINSON

If I worked downtown, I would consider taking the bus to work. I am not sure I will make the 90-minute commute to the Express office. I suspect the ride home is somewhat longer. ***** The new byline in this week’s paper belongs to Lacey Lubovicki, a Grade 12 student from Allan. Lacey spent last week at the Express. We’ve done work experience programs with the Prairie Spirit School Division a number of times during the past few years. Some of these students are writing at a level as high as some journalism students I have met. Lacey edited my feature on Lisa Moen (Page 3) and made three good catches right off the bat. It made me smile that a Grade 12 student was correcting my work. She even brought a red pen. The first student intern we had was a young man from a rural school. It might have been Colonsay, but I can’t remember for sure. It was back in 2011 and Ken Noskye was working at the office at the time. Old Ken didn’t think the young student had a good name for journalism, so he gave him a new one. The student became Jon Michael. I remember quite vividly the day the teacher who supervises the placement program came to the office to see Jon Michael. I didn’t know what to tell him. I wasn’t sure if I should say he was out back having a smoke with Old Ken. ***** Correction I mistakenly said Hadlen’s Halloween show begins at 6 p.m. on Oct. 31 at the Roxy Theatre. The show starts at 7 p.m. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express isa Moen was driving her truck down a country road when bits and pieces of a song popped into her head. The song would be become Silly Boys Trucks Are For Girls, Moen’s first single as a solo artist/songwriter. Released in August, she said it still gives her goose bumps when she hears it on the radio. She cranks it up every time. “I wrote the song because I wanted to do a spinoff on all the other country songs on the radio right now. You know, these guys in their pickup trucks with the hot girl and going through the mud. I thought, ‘Dammit, we can do that, too,’ ” she said. The 32-year-old Saskatonian, who is originally from Outlook, has been singing professionally for 10 years. Many will recognize her voice from Bullrush and Magic Band. Bullrush had six singles in the top 45 on Canadian country charts. The band played at a cabaret at the Canadian Country Music Awards. They recorded a song written and given to them by Lady Antebellum, and opened a show for Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Moen left Bullrush to have her second child, a daughter named Arabella. She also has a son, Tyson. During her pregnancy, she discovered wasn’t ready to leave music in her truck’s rear-view mirror. She returned this summer as a solo artist, with her first gig at Craven. No sense starting small, right? “As soon as I got pregnant and had a bit of time on my hands, I started songwriting. I was just at home doing my thing. I don’t know if it was hormones or my creative juices were flowing, but I started songwriting,” she said with a laugh. “After I had my baby last November, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, now that I’m not pregnant and uncomfortLisa Moen has struck a chord with her single Silly Boys Trucks Are For Girls (Photo courtesy of www.joiphoto.com) able,’ I thought, ‘You know what, I really miss music.’ ” “I called my guys that used to be in the other is something I will never forget.

Armstrong credits Fireside Singers for development of his voice

(Continued from page 1) alf of the main cast has AIDS,” said Armstrong. “It’s very much live for the minute, because you don’t know what’s coming. In a lot of ways we do live in a rush-rush-rush society, and so much of that is planning for the future and not living for now. But you don’t know what’s coming next week. . . . Usually it does take a death for someone to reflect on that.” Armstrong plays Tom Collins, whom he describes as living a bit on the fringes of society, not unlike the other characters in the show. “He is one of the few that has a steady paying job, but there’s a nice quote in the show about him being a philosopher and anarchist who once ran naked through the Parthenon.” Tom is a gay character, and a “wonderful, caring soul, in many ways the omnipotent one. He oversees and tries to bring everybody together quite regularly, especially after the point where he meets his partner, Angel,” a street musician and drag queen played by Ricardo Alvarado. Armstrong, a tenor, started singing in church as a child, continued to sing through elementary school, and then stopped as his voice changed and he dove into sports. In high school, however, he found he had a spare and signed up for choral, as well as taking a couple of years of voice training. “I think working alongside great singers in groups like Fireside Singers has helped me more than the vocal training ever since. Even though I’m a classically trained singer, most of my singing experience took place in rock. I sang with a rock band for eight years. I think that’s where a lot of my power and a lot of my soul comes from.” Rock ‘n roll has taken a back seat to

(Continued from page 3 ) “I feel my music is my business now. Professionally I am trying to make a go at it. It’s been a hobby and we’ve done bands, but now it’s my own baby, if you will, and as a business I am very proud to be a woman in this industry. I have done everything for myself so far. I’m doing social media, marketing. That’s so important and a full-time job in itself. I’m my own people.” Moen is preparing to do a video for Silly Boys Trucks Are For Girls. She wants it to be different. She wants it to feature women and their trucks – and maybe even a forklift or two. “A fan emailed a couple of months ago, and it was a woman from Edson, Alberta. And it was completely out of the blue. This lady is maybe 25 or 30 years old. She sent me a picture of her and her semi-truck that she drives. She said, ‘Hey, I heard your song on the radio here in Alberta and I love it, and it’s totally about me.’ She was very liberated by it. We’ve chatted a million times already, and I’ve said, ‘Wow, thank you and thank you for reaching out. That’s so cool.’ ”

Seeing the photo of the woman with her truck changed the direction of Moen’s videoto-be. Gone was the original script, even though actors were waiting in the wings. She decided to do a video incorporating photos of women and their vehicles. She will loop them into the video. It will be a Canada-wide promotion, but Moen is hoping for a large response from women in Saskatchewan. “I am very proud to be from Saskatchewan. I love to promote that I’m a Prairie girl and proud to be in the music business in Saskatchewan. I want anything with a picture of them and anything with four wheels.” She hopes to have it on YouTube soon and then will try to get it into the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards next year. Moen will release another single — Test Drive — in November. A song named All I Ask of You will be released next February or March. For now, she’s loving the attention Silly Boys Trucks Are For Girls is getting. “I drive in my vehicle and if I hear it on the radio, I obviously crank it up. The coolest thing for me is I look around at who else is

If Atch’s arm’s-length position were accurate, our question would have to be, “Who really is running City Hall?” It is not likely that this dispute will settle quickly or pleasantly. Immediately following the board’s ruling, city manager Murray Totland issued a second lockout notice without the consent of council. He said it was a manoeuvre intended to protect the City’s bargaining position, but it didn’t necessarily mean a second lockout was going to happen. Transportation manager Jeff Jorgenson claims the two parties are still far apart. The City claims the LRB’s ruling on retroactive pay doesn’t mean full salary and the union’s lawyer says they want full salary, overtime and benefits. The LRB saws it

off in the middle. Let the games begin. But before either side eats any crow, it will be seasoned with pettiness and animosity. Best of luck to mediator Vince Ready. Any way you cut this, council is no further ahead then when it imposed the lockout and, in fact, has taken a step backwards. It still has to negotiate the pension issue and wages with the transit union and they will have to tax residents millions of dollars for the folly. If they give more to transit, then the other unions may cry foul, especially if there is any merit to transit’s allegations of bogus pension numbers. With the millions this lockout debacle will cost, together with the millions more the police chief wants for operating costs of the new station, along with the cost of council’s wish list, last year’s record-breaking seven-per-cent tax increase might look like a bargain compared to what lies ahead. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Board members are made up of city selections, union selections and another selection that is nominated by both the city and the unions. AON Hewitt is the actuarial company that does the report for them. The evaluations are looked at by the superintendent of pensions for Saskatchewan and the superintendent has approved them. I don’t know where this question is supposed to lead to or what it is all about. The numbers in the actuarial report are the numbers. I can tell you right now, I don’t think there is one person in the City or one person in the union that wouldn’t love to see a surplus. It isn’t in anyone’s best interest to have a deficit. Everyone wants to have a surplus. When you have a deficit that is when it is difficult.

Mendel gala set for Nov. 1

he Mendel Art Gallery is celebrating its 50th anniversary with three of the best musicians Saskatoon has produced providing the entertainment. The Mendel fundraising gala — Bewitched! The Magic Continues — will be held on Nov. 1 at the Sheraton Cavalier, starting at 6 p.m. with a champagne reception, followed by a gourmet dinner and entertainment. The performers are pianist Jon Ballantyne, pianist Thomas Yu and fiddler Karrnnel. All three grew up in Saskatoon, and all three are donating their performance fees for this event. Ballantyne is now based in Manhattan, Yu is a periodontist in Calgary and Karrnnel Sawitsky has just returned from tours of Europe and Cape Breton to his home base in Toronto. Matthew Teitelbaum, a former curator of the gallery, is also scheduled to attend the event. Teitelbaum is now director and

CEO of the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Earlier on Nov. 1, he is giving a free public lecture at the gallery. He will talk about how an art collection can create a sense of community and place. His lecture/tour is at 1 p.m. The name, Bewitched! The Magic Continues, was intended to have a 1960s vibe. In addition to 1964 being the year the Mendel Art Gallery opened, it was also the year the TV series Bewitched was introduced. The Magic Continues refers to the gala gallery events of the past, called The Magic of the Mendel. Gala tickets are $300 each, and available from the gallery gift shop or by contacting Judy Koutecky at jkoutecky@mendel.ca or at 306975-7669. Proceeds support the Mendel International Lecture at Remai Modern. This annual lecture will honour the contributions of Fred Mendel and the Mendel family, and the 50-year legacy of the Mendel Art Gallery.

‘Comedic Drama’ inspired by friends’ lives

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express um Theatre’s latest production is a case of art imitating life. The play, called My Rabbi, focuses on the friendship of two Canadians — one Jewish and one Muslim. It’s familiar territory for the stars of the show, Kayvon Kelly and Joel Bernbaum. The actors became close friends while attending the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, B.C., and have since created the play together. “The characters in the play are inspired by our relationship — him being a halfIranian, half-Irish person, myself being a Jewish person,” said Bernbaum. “We found it cathartic and interesting to explore the inspiration of autobiographical relationship, and then jumped off with imagination. Sort of halfway through the play, the characters go on spiritual journeys — one character to Iran and one character to Israel — and at that point we used our imagination and said, ‘What if?’ “What if people like us, two guys from Saskatoon — we’re both from Saskatoon originally — what if two guys from Saskatoon had these experiences? How might that change their friendship?” My Rabbi made its world premiere over the summer during a three-week run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The show has since toured to Victoria and Vancouver, B.C. Its next stop is the Refinery Arts and Spirit Centre in Saskatoon as part of the Live Five Independent Theatre season. Bernbaum said the show, which is described as a “comedic drama,” has been well received by audiences so far. “We’ve had anChenise extremely warm recepCP90279.J27

tion,” he said. “It’s a play that we hope will be thought-provoking and feeling-provoking, and audiences have been extremely responsive at all of the venues and all of the locations. So we’re really, really grateful for the opportunity to share it so often, and also grateful for the opportunity to engage in dialogue with our audiences after the show.” The concept for My Rabbi originated six years ago, when Bernbaum and Kelly were drinking beer in a bar while waiting to go see a classmate’s play. They had graduated from school, but didn’t have any theatre work lined up. They wanted to change that, so My Rabbi “started off as a good old-fashioned make-work project,” said Bernbaum. “Sitting in that bar, over a pitcher of beer, we grabbed a pen and a napkin and we sketched out the initial scenes for what became My Rabbi — and that was six years ago,” he said. “Of course it’s grown and changed and evolved and (had) many different iterations since that initial napkin, but the initial impulse was to create work for ourselves about ourselves.” The play was created after the duo took an inspiring course in college, said Bernbaum. “We took this playwriting class and our instructor was fantastic, and he said two things that really stuck with us. One of them was, ‘Write what you know,’ and the other thing was, ‘Make your own work.’ ” Bernbaum, who has a master’s degree from Carleton University, has been making his own work as the artistic director of Sum Theatre. During the summer, Sum

Bernbaum, who has been “living out of a suitcase for the past several years,” is now in the process of returning home to Saskatoon to focus on the theatre company. “The past two summers of Theatre in the Park have gone so well that I’ve decided to make a commitment to further growing the company, to further Sum Theatre. I’m really excited about it,” he said. “I’ve spent many months of each year, in the past few years, here, and so now this is a homecoming for me to be able to say, ‘The theatre community here is vibrant;

He has reasons for each one, such as she was not affectionate, she was cheating, she never had time for him, and the list continues. What are the chances of him having a faithful relationship with me?

He makes excuses for his behaviour, and it seems that nothing is ever good enough for him. Why on earth would you put yourself in a position where you know what the outcome is going to be?

WINTER

Fit Centre set to open in Education Building on U of S Campus

he University of Saskatchewan’s Recreation Services and College of Kinesiology are proud to announce the opening of the newly renovated Human Performance Center located on campus in the Education balcony above the gymnasium. The Human Performance Centre offers fitness training to general public, older populations, young athletes, Saskatoon Police and RCMP recruits, Huskie athletes and recruits, rehabilitation clients, hockey players from the professional ranks to grassroots, Olympic athletes, and everything in between. Weber says the new space has been freshly painted and had new flooring installed, along with new equipment. Current personal training and group training clients of the Human Performance Center have started to utilize the new space and the positive response has been overwhelming. He explains that the absence of the bigger fitness machines allows for more floor space for the center to be used as a training studio. “We will focus on functional fitness, JW11914.J27 James training with strength and movement

free weights. There will be a focus on circuit training as well, and we will do different exercises depending on the fitness level of the clients in order to target different muscle groups in the body and maximize results.” HPC also plans to maximize the effects of its training sessions by limiting the amount of people in the area at one time. “In the future we plan to have small group training times working with a personal trainer in the Human Performance Center to allow for clients to utilize the space and work in smaller groups with a personal trainer. We are currently in the process of designing a punch card system, where you register online for spots in small group sessions and present your punch pass each time you attend a class.” The goal behind trying to control the numbers, says Weber, “is to create an environment where people who are serious about training can concentrate on their work-out with limited distractions.” Weber is working on different training programs for the general public, too. As he explains, “the balcony will be also utilized for academic

FOR

WINTER

Outdoor exercise still a possibility when temperatures drop

hen colder weather sets in, some people abandon their outdoor fitness routines for the comfort of indoor gyms and home exercise equipment. However, walking in the winter and even jogging, when practical, are not limited to the warmer months of the year. Outdoor conditions can be a bit treacherous, so safety and common sense should always prevail.

Footwear

While winter walking is a good way to warm up and get in a workout, it requires different footwear than regular walking shoes. The correct footwear will provide support, warmth and traction for traversing various conditions. Start by choosing footwear that is warm. Certain boots and booties will have a lining that improves heat retention. Wear warm socks and waterproof or waterresistant shoes. They will protect against wet, chilled feet if you come across slushy puddles along the way. Although wet feet might be merely an inconvenience other times of the year, in very cold temperatures, a cold and wet body can be susceptible to hypothermia and even frostbite. Look for shoes that have a mid-height ankle. This height offers support and stability to the ankles when walking on uneven surfaces, such as snow-covered paths. Also, should your foot slip on slick pavement, a taller shoe will protect the ankle against sprains or fractures. Additionally, choose a shoe or boot that has a thick but not too heavy sole for better traction on icy areas.

If you will be walking on roads, dress for visibility. Avoid colors that will blend in with snowy surroundings and opt for bright flashes of color that make you more visible, particularly at dawn, dusk and night. Whenever possible, do your outdoor exercising when the sun is up. You’ll benefit from the mood-boosting properties of the sun and will have added warmth and visibility. Furthermore, spending time in the outdoor sun enables your body to produce vitamin D, which helps maintain healthy bones. Spending time outdoors can stave off winter doldrums and cabin fever. Exercise with a buddy, who can help you if you slip or fall on icy surfaces. Walking or running with a partner also is a great way to remain motivated. If you feel very unstable walking on slippery roads and pathways, you may want to invest in winter cleats or crampons that can be attached to the underside of your shoes. These devices offer superior traction.

Wardrobe

Layering is essential when exercising outdoors in cold weather. You want to ensure that you will be warm enough, but not too warm that you begin to sweat and run the risk of hypothermia later on. Dress so that you feel chilled when stepping outdoors, not toasty warm. As your body warms up with the exercise, it will reach a comfortable temperature. A windbreaker is good for blocking chilly, winter winds. Choose a jacket that will move with your body and not impede walking stride or jogging ability. Tights or yoga pants that wick moisture away will insulate your legs, and a fleece vest can help keep your body’s core warm when it is particularly cold outside. Don’t overlook gloves and a hat when walking. These items will prevent heat from escaping through your extremities.

Off-roading

If you want to pack in a more powerful winter workout, you can think about walking through the snow rather than around it. According to fitness experts at Weight Watchers International, walking in packed snow increases the calories burned by 60 percent compared to walking on a paved road. Walking in soft snow triples the calories burned compared to walking at the same speed on a treadmill. In addition, the added resistance of the snow can firm and tone muscles. Purchase snow shoes or cross-country skis and poles to facilitate walking in the snow. For those who want to forego structured exercise, simply having fun in the snow, by trekking up a mountain when sledding or having a snowball fight with the kids, is a great way to exercise outdoors in the winter. There is no need to pack away exercise clothing for the winter season. With the Safety right equipment and know-how, winter Winter conditions may lead to snowlovers can still spend adequate time outblindness or reduced visibility for drivers. doors once the mercury drops.

Stay fit throughout the winter months

any animals hibernate throughout the winter. Humans are afforded no such luxury. In fact, living a sedentary lifestyle during the colder months of the year can actually prove detrimental to human health. Exercise is beneficial any time of the year, but it can be especially so during the winter months when colder temperatures force many people inside, where they live more sedentary lifestyles than they do during the rest of the year. Adapting your exercise habits in the winter can help you make it through the colder months in great shape. There is no reason to stop exercising when the temperature drops. Working out in the cold weather has distinct advantages over working out in hot and humid conditions. When the weather is cold, you may be able to work out longer and harder because the heat won’t zap your energy levels, and exercising outdoors in the winter is a great way to get small doses of sunlight that can improve mood and help your body produce more vitamin D. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says exercise can help boost

your immune system, which can help you fight colds and flu symptoms. Just a few minutes of exercise each day can help prevent simple viral and bacterial infections as well. Working out in the winter may help you burn more calories than in warmer seasons. Research published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures. Quicker runs or walks can burn more calories. If exercising outdoors is too uncomfortable, break up your routine into smaller, more manageable sessions. Aim for 10 minute sessions several times per day. This quickly can add up to the 30 minutes of daily recommended exercise. Dress in layers so you can feel comfortable, adjusting your clothing as necessary. You don’t want to be freezing, but you don’t want to wear so many clothes that you start sweating and risk hypothermia. Consider less traditional exercises when winter sets in. These include shoveling snow, sledding, skating, skiing, and snowshoeing.

Delisle honours curling greats

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express s Harold Worth looks at the newly-minted Delisle Curling calendar, he clearly remembers when the game reached an upswing in his Prairie town. “Jim Hill had just come back from the Nipawin car bonspiel in 1947, where he learned the value of sliding from Ken Watson. And there we were, all trying to copy him,” said Worth at the calendar launch last Thursday in Delisle. “Jim and Matt Baldwin are considered to be the first curlers to slide in Saskatchewan. I was 15 or 16 at the time. I think back now and what a dramatic effect it had on the game.” By age 21, Worth and Elmer MacNevin had already curled a couple of times in the Hub City Club’s Bond Bonspiel. Hill asked the two of them to join Jack Bentley and him on a team which hit its stride near playoff time and went on a remarkable 1953 stretch of 33 consecutive victories. “We went through the Saskatoon bonspiel with 16 straight wins and won 15 more through the Saskatchewan playoffs, giving us a berth in the Brier in Sudbury. We won the first two in the Brier and we began to feel like world-beaters. We lost the next two against Alberta and Manitoba,” said Worth. The team finished the Brier with a 7-3 record. They went to the Canadian finals again in 1956, this time with Don Morris replacing Bentley. They lost early to New Brunswick and Ontario in a tournament where water on the ice caused some concerns for the sliders. They again finished with a 7-3 record. Worth, MacNevin and Hill remained teammates from 1953 until 1958. “Jim was a great curler and teacher, although he started later in his life. He took us under his wing and it was great opportunity to learn.” The next big shot at the Canadians for Worth came in 1965, when the Brier was played at Saskatoon Arena. Worth, MacNevin, Murray Armstrong and Gary Stevenson qualified to represent Saskatchewan by beating Bob Pickering of Milestone in two straight games in the best-ofthree provincial final. As hometown favourites, they lost an early game to Manitoba’s Terry Braunstein, the eventual champion. When they lost later in the week to Nova Scotia, they missed their goal. Braunstein finished 9-1, while Worth was 8-2. Five other times, Worth played on teams which were finalists in Saskatchewan. But in what were very exciting times in the 1960s for curlers, Worth played on three teams which won car ‘spiels — Nipawin, Saskatoon and Edmonton. He also played on three teams which were finalists for cars. He represented Saskatchewan three times in the Massey Ferguson Curlorama in Toronto. Excellence in Sports: Curling is the second calendar release in Delisle. The first recognized hockey stars such as Doug and Max Bentley a year ago. This year’s profits go back into curling. Delisle’s impact on curling has been significant. Worth’s sister, Barbara MacNevin, was part of Joyce McKee’s Canadian women’s champions in 1961. MacNevin and her sister, Fay Coben, were part of teams which won provincial women’s championships along with Florence Hill and Avis Carr in 1965, 1966 and 1968. Today, Sherri Anderson has been a frequent challenger at national championships. Doug Wyatt skipped Saskatchewan’s team at the1972 Brier and he led three teams to Canadian Firefighters’ championships — in 1966, 1970 and 1971. Don Brownell was the lead on the Bayne Secord rink which won the Canadian schoolboy championship in 1954.

Take a book, return a book

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

ucked away on a quiet street in Saskatoon’s Haultain neighbourhood, a tiny little house is perched on the trunk of a tree. Opening the door of the tiny structure, you won’t find birds or toys. Instead, it houses a treasure-trove of books, ripe for the picking by the avid local readers who have discovered the Haultain Little Free Library (LFL), which opened a few weeks ago. The library is a pet project of Saskatoon resident Jeff MacDonald who, together with his wife, Wendy Lynn, fundraised, designed, built and now maintains the collection of books available within. “Little Free Libraries have been around internationally and locally for maybe 10 years or so by that name, and the general design and size as far as I know,” said MacDonald. “The idea is just a way to get more books out into the public, but by people, not a civic or academic library. It’s more fun to share and creates less waste.” A Little Free Library operates under a simple code: “Take a book, return a book.” Anyone and everyone is invited to stop by and pick up a book (or two), or bring back another book to share. The idea for his Haultain venture was hatched in university, when MacDonald dreamed of having his own place, right in his home, to share books, conversation and coffee with friends, neighbours and strangers alike. “Clearly that’s kind of weird, so I didn’t do that. But Little Free Libraries kind of answer a little bit of that desire,” said MacDonald. The death of a close friend further spurred MacDonald to create his library. “I had the idea to build this one last year, just after my friend Eric died,” explained MacDonald, who spied another Little Free Library project on Kickstarter. “I saw they were looking for $300, so

I donated some money, and then thought maybe building my own would be fun, and also a way to fill the gap that Eric had previously filled. We built a lot of stuff together, and talked about the sci-fi books we liked and the one he was writing. So this just made sense to me. “He’d have built it better, and I’m not very good at construction stuff,” MacDonald said. “But it turned out alright.” MacDonald says the response to his own Kickstarter campaign was overwhelming. “It was really well received,” he said. “It more than adequately funded the construction, stocking and maintenance of the Haultain LFL. Many funders were local and some knew Eric or know me, but most had nothing to do with either of us or even Saskatoon, and are just part of the Kickstarter community. It’s really pretty neat.” Meeting new neighbours face to face and conversing with dozens more through Facebook are just a couple of the benefits MacDonald and his young family have enjoyed thanks to their library, which attracts curious browsers from across Saskatoon. The library is well stocked with books for all ages, with donors consistently adding new reading material, from the classics to the latest bestsellers. “People stop by and browse, and sometimes I go out and say hi to them, or if I’m having coffee on the step we visit and talk about books a bit.” Saskatoon’s Haultain Little Free Library is located on the 900 block of Sixth Street East. Another Little Free Library, containing primarily children’s books, is located on the 300 block of Avenue J North, and there is one at the intersection of 12th Street and Ewart Avenue. The Haultain Little Free Library is registered with Little Free Library worldwide. Find out more about Little Free Libraries at littlefreelibrary.org.

ome is where the heart is. Camille Ewert and Gerry Ecker have left part of their hearts in Central America, where they have been building homes for families in need. There was a new twist recently, when they were able to visit two homes they built. “They are now self-empowered,” said Ewert of a family they visited during a trip last year, when Ecker was able to go back to the first house they built back in 2009 in El Salvador. Since its completion, the family has attached a woodworking shop to their home, bringing them business and money. “They just needed that initial help. And they’ve now become very successful by Salvadorian standards,” said Ecker. This wasn’t the only time the couple has been back to the home they and members of their group constructed. In 2014, Ewert and Ecker surprised a woman named Rosa and her family in San Cayetano, Nicaragua, that they built for in 2011. “She didn’t know we were coming. We just showed up and she was just ecstatic,” said Ewert. “She took us on a tour of the house. She has posters up and the kids have their own room. The kids remembered us.” Ecker will never forget how the children would not let go of him during the visit. “Such overwhelming gratitude,” he said. The Saskatoon couple have been building houses in developing countries for five years as team leaders for Habitat for Humanity’s Global Village. They built their first house in 2009, and are continuing on with their journey with a build planned for next year. “It never gets old,” Ewert said. “Every time you see something different. You see a different impact you’re making on a family.” She saw the importance of their work again when they received photos from El Salvador, where they built in 2013. “Just to know that you gave these guys their home, it’s huge. You see it when you leave and it’s not finished. But to see a photo of it painted and furnished with the family standing in front of it is amazing.” For their seventh trip, the couple will be taking building teams to Trinidad from Feb. 28 to March 8, 2015. “This will be more for people who are experiencing it for the first time,” Ecker said. “It will be a little bit less of an adjustment.”

You can go home again Rosa’s children have a bedroom in their new home Builders are even encouraged to extend the trip into a holiday once the building of the two homes is complete. Building homes in Trinidad may not strike people the same as in other countries, the couple admitted. “There’s still those neighbourhoods — we have them here in Saskatoon — that just need that extra help,” Ewert said. “I put it in the same spirit as 100 years ago when there would be barn raisings and everyone would come from all over to help a family to get this huge undertaking done,” Ecker said. “Now the world is our community. This is how people come together. It gets people back to the roots of helping other people.” No special skills are required, but you must be 18 years or older to participate. To contact Ecker and Ewert, email GVstoon@hotmail.ca.

No need to buy no-boil noodles for lasagna

REENA NERBAS

Household Solutions

Dear Reena, I often see no-boil lasagna noodles on the shelf of my grocery store. What makes these noodles different than regular lasagna noodles? — Glenn Dear Glenn, No-boil lasagna noodles are precooked noodles that don’t require pre-boiling. However, instead of purchasing pre-cooked pasta, I purchase regular lasagna noodles that are high in fibre. I do not boil the noodles, but I make sure that enough sauce covers the noodles so that they bake in the oven

along with the lasagna dish. Do not add cheese to top layer. Cover tightly with foil and bake in oven at 350F for one and a half to two hours. When noodles are tender, remove foil and cover with cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Dear Reena, How do you remove water stains from wood furniture? — Lynda Dear Lynda, The first and easiest solution is to apply mayonnaise or non-gel, non-bleach toothpaste to the

wood. Leave for 30 minutes and wipe. If the stain remains, cover the mark with a white cloth. Using the steam setting on your fabric iron and wave the iron over top of the cloth, making sure that you do not set the iron on one area. With a little patience, the mark will disappear.

Page 18 - SASKATOONEXPRESS - October 27-November 2, 2014 NASHVILLE, Tennessee — It would be a mistake to imagine that Nashville offers only the raw energy of its eclectic musical scene to tourists. Music City has many components that make a vacation here a well-rounded experience, including a surprisingly heady variety of architectural history that is well worth including on your itinerary. Other than Travel Virginia, there were more battles fought in Tennessee during the American Civil War than in any other state. A tour through some of that tumultuous history will also reveal some of the plantation homes built before that bloody struggle took place. These homes are part of the antebellum period. Taking in some of this history is very much a pre-Civil War real-estate journey, featuring tours of some of the most elegant homes owned by the state’s gentry of the mid-1800s. Middle Tennessee is home to about 55 such properties, with about eight sites open to visitors. The elegance and style of the individual homes along the route offer a fascinating glimpse of lifestyles back then and the historical poignancy reflected in the homes. The American Civil War had a profound effect on the country and its people. While a new nation was reborn out of the turmoil and destruction, the historical legacy still lingers in the soul of the south, where the war touched virtually every family in the Confederacy. History was made here, and you can breathe it in the air. If you’re staying in Nashville, some of the plantation homes lie within the city and its environs. They can be leisurely visited during a couple of days. A visit to the Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the U.S., should be high on the agenda. Jackson served two terms as president, and was an American military hero. The visionary statesman provided his young nation with positive leadership in the early 19th century. Jackson made his home in Tennessee and was the first president elected from what was then the American west. The state was less than a decade old when Jackson purchased the Hermitage property close to Nashville in 1804. During the next

half century, the land was transformed into a successful plantation with a beautiful Greek revival mansion as its centrepiece. Another must-see antebellum property is the Belle Meade Plantation. Once a prosperous 5,400-acre plantation owned by John Harding, Belle Meade would eventually become a famous breeding centre for championship thoroughbreds. While the estate has dwindled to just 30 acres, the home and grounds are well worth a visit. Standing in the plantation grounds, the pastoral scene looks tranquil enough, but if close your eyes it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to recreate the echoes of Civil War artillery fire. While the restored stately homes along the trail seem untouched by time, landlocked on the slowly turning pages of history, they did survive a bitter war and some still carry the battle scars. The War Between the States brought hardship and danger to Belle Meade. During the Battle of Nashville, Union and Confederate forces skirmished on the

estate. The evidence of the battle can still be found today in the mansion’s tall stone columns, which were riddled with bullets during the fighting. Closer to the centre of Nashville, Belmont Mansion is an Italian villa-style summer home built in the 1850s by Joseph and Adelicia Acklen. They constructed the mansion to escape the oppressive heat of their 8,400-acre Louisiana cotton plantation. With 36 rooms, the 19,000-square-foot mansion is considered one of the most elaborate antebellum homes in the South. The estate contained an art gallery, conservatories, lavish gardens, an aviary, a lake and a zoo. The Civil War brought the death of Col. Acklen and the occupation of Belmont by federal troops. After the Civil War, Adelicia visited Europe, where she continued building her large art collection. Now maintained as part of the college campus, the landscaped gardens contain marble statues and a large collection of

19th-century cast-iron garden ornaments, including five cast-iron gazebos. South of Nashville, the Travellers Rest Plantation is the city’s oldest historic home open for public tours. The home served as Confederate headquarters before the Battle of Nashville in 1864, and now contains some fine examples of early Tennessee furniture. Tourists can also visit original outbuildings and heirloom gardens on the 10 acres of grounds. The Travellers Rest, like some other antebellum sites, has gift shops. Organized tours are often conducted by guides in period dress, which adds to the authenticity of the experience. Some sites also have cafes and restaurants that are well worth a visit. GrayLine bus tours in Nashville operate a variety of interesting bus tours that include Civil War history and plantation homes. Visit www.GreyLineTN.com for more information.

It might be a good idea to warn people who don’t read warnings on bottles. I enjoy your column and have used many of your tips. — Laurie Dear Reena, I enjoy your column and have found your tips useful. A few weeks ago someone wrote to you about the big blocks

of cheese and how to keep them. My solution is to cut the cheese into usable portions, wrap well and freeze. Some varieties become crumbly after freezing, but that works really well, similar to grated cheese on homemade pizza or other places where grated cheese is used. Another tip: For years we had a pile of discarded seed and husks under our birdfeeder in the lawn. The birds would do a fair job of cleaning it up, but it was usually a mess. I cut a piece of fibre-

glass window screen (sold by the metre at outdoor stores and hardware stores) and put it on the ground underneath the feeder. The grass can breathe and the birds can clean it up much better. The husks that they leave are minimal and can be easily lifted to be put into the compost. — Julie I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming.

ADVERTORIAL FEATURE

Chefs Cracker Crusted Cutlets

When making a recipe that calls for roasted garlic- don’t skip out on this step, roasting garlic adds a sweetness to it along with mellowing some of its sharp flavors

Dry spices age! This is very apparent in things like Chili powder. You will notice over time that if it has been sitting in the cupboard for a year that your chili or taco will lose that zing you were looking for.

Chef’s Fall Dinner Tips: 1

A slow cooker is an excellent tool for a family on the go. When there just isn’t enough time after work to get a hot meal prepared, why not try one of Prairie Meats own slow cooker ready meals. We have a roast beef feast, a greek chicken dinner and a roast chicken with dumplings. All meals include enough protein, starch, and veggies to feed 4 hungry adults. The best part is all you have to do is open, pour the contents into your slow cooker set it to low, and its ready when you get home from work!

Bacon makes everything better so why not add 1 cup of coarsely chopped and lightly fried bacon to your chili. Make a large batch in your slow cooker and then freeze meal size portions that can be quickly defrosted for those nights when you are in a hurry.

With a brocolli cream sauce

4-6 Tenderized Pork Cutlets 1 sleeve of unsalted soup crackers 2 eggs ¼ cup milk ½ cup of flour Salt/pepper to taste 3 tblspoons of dry dill 1 tblspoon dry parsley flakes 4 Tblspoons Canola oil If you have access to these herbs fresh it will take this reciepe up a level! Hand crush your crackers in a bowl mix in your dill, parsley, salt and pepper. In another bowl whisk your eggs and milk. Place flour on a plate. Heat oil in frying pan Dip the cutlet in the flour, then egg mixture, and then in the cracker crumb. Brown in frying pan and then place on cookie sheet These cutlets can be prepared ahead of time and then frozen. Finish in oven at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes(if using the prepared cutlets thaw overnight in refrigerator first).

Prices in effect from October 27 - November 1

Sauce ¼ white onion small diced 2 tblespoons roasted garlic 1/8 cup unsalted butter ½ a broccoli- stem removed florets chopped ½ cup grated montery jack cheese 1cup chicken stock 2 cups of milk 3 tblspoons corn starch mixed with 1/4c cold water (slurry) Sauté onion, brocolli, and garlic in butter until onions become translucent. Add stock and milk and bring to a light simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add cheese. Then finish with your slurry.

What’s for Dinner?
