For me, it’s a way of giving back to the people who gave me a start in minor hockey, educated me and nurtured my career in various steps.” Babcock’s role has been attracting the athletes and speakers from all sports, who will be visible and accommodating to the guests at the $1,000-a-plate function. “That’s what I can do best. DeeDee does what she does best. She does all the organizational work. She’s a whirlwind, and an event like this couldn’t happen without her.” (Continued on page 7)

they’ve numbered under 200. We are at triple that number now. The military has been called in, but just last week. Our firefighters have been battling fires since mid-May (bless them all), but they must be more than a little war-weary by now. We’ve also burned through our firefighting budget. We seem to be ill prepared for disaster – preventing it, dealing with it, fixing the aftermath. I hate the debate about whether humans have caused climate change or if this is just a natural cycle; but whichever stand you take, our climate is changing at a terrifying pace. Obviously, we have to try to figure this out at the macro level, but we also have to try to mitigate it at the local-regional level. That means saving water in wet times. Dry times will come. There are ways to create reservoirs for rain and runoff. The problem, naturally, is cost, but what are these fires costing us? That means being fully ready for emergencies. Everyone is pitching in and fighting these fires and helping evacuees, but being ready means a budget that moves flexibly between firefighting, flood diversion, evacuation and any other bizarre event that needs immediate attention. That means not being complacent – not waiting for the next disaster to hit before adjusting equipment, budgets, people power and evacuation routes. I profoundly hope our governments stay in touch with the climatologists, fire ecologists, hydrology experts and others, to get a picture of what’s coming each season. The climate scientists have been worrying about, for example, the blob for some time. I think they saw this fire season coming. Did our leaders?

of Governors, said Stoicheff was the obvious choice. The university consulted widely on what attributes the next president should have, and used the responses as part of the search process conducted with the help of a consultant, he said. “We were thrilled by the quality of the candidates, people who were genuinely interested in leading the University of Saskatchewan,” said Smith in an interview. The position received interest from outside and across Canada, and there were internal candidates as well. However, Stoicheff has the “rare combination” of

“compelling vision, superb team-building skills and proven administrative experience,” said Smith. “Peter Stoicheff was the obvious choice. It was a unanimous vote of the board that Peter would be the 11th president of the U of S.” Smith said it’s time for the university to move forward. “Last year we went through a very difficult time... but I think it’s important to realize the university has been here for more than 100 years, and I’m confident it will be here for hundreds more.”

Stoicheff was chosen from a field of national and international candidates, at a time when the university is moving on from firing its former president, Ilene Busch-Vishniac. Busch-Vishniac was at the centre of a controversy in which School of Public Health executive director Robert Buckingham was stripped of his role and removed from campus for criticizing the university’s cost-cutting program. He was reinstated as professor, but a public outcry nonetheless led to the former president’s and the former provost’s firings. “I don’t think anybody would want to take on this job if they felt somehow or other this institution couldn’t move forward,” said Stoicheff, when asked about last year’s controversy. “Since I am here already…I have seen tangible signs of it already moving forward over the last year. “I’m being asked about the events of the last year a lot, but people at the campus are not talking about those events. That’s not where they want to be anymore. “It is really time to move ahead. That’s what I’m going to be all about.” Stoicheff joined the U of S in 1986 as a member of the English department’s faculty. He was named dean of the College of Arts and Science in 2011, and served as vice-dean of humanities and fine arts from 2005 to 2011. He holds undergraduate degrees in English and history from Queen’s University and master’s and doctorate degrees in English from the University of Toronto. “This place has literally given me my life,” said Stoicheff. “Everything that I’ve done and been able to do has been because of this university, so I feel very strongly about it. “This is yet another way to serve and try to have a positive influence.” Stoicheff is married to Kathryn Warden, director of research profile and impact at the U of S, and they have two children, Alixandra and Christopher.

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express eter Stoicheff, the dean of the College of Arts and Science, has been named the 11th president of the University of Saskatchewan. The university’s board of governors announced the appointment last week. He takes over from interim president Gordon Barnhart on Oct. 24. Stoicheff will be installed in the position for a five-year term at the university’s fall convocation. “Anything of this magnitude is going to be a mixture (of reactions). The main emotion is excitement, but you’re aware it’s inevitably going to be challenging,” said Stoicheff in an interview. “The thing that I always feel, and I felt as the dean too, is there are a lot of people, a lot of people, hundreds of thousands of people … for whom this university is extraordinarily important, so you want to do a good job. “You feel the responsibility, but certainly the excitement is there.” Stoicheff has a long list of things he would like to do, “but first of all, it’s really important to me to try to collect all the different things this university does. It’s probably the most varied university in the country, so many different colleges, so many different schools… To me the wonder of this place is that variety. How do you collect it and make the whole greater than the sum of the parts? “Another thing that’s really, really important to me is being the right place for aboriginal students and their communities. If we’re not going to do that as a university in this country, who else is going to do it? “If it’s not going to happen now, given the TRC (Truth and Reconciliation Commission) recommendations, when’s it going to happen?” A national forum for university presidents and aboriginal leaders and scholars will take place in November, to evaluate the TRC recommendations related to postsecondary education, said Stoicheff.

Tanya Knight ready to lead Saskatoon chamber

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express

anya Knight has taken on the presidency of the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce in very interesting economic times. She is far from daunted. “I absolutely think we’re OK,” said Knight, the regional managing partner for MNP, in a recent interview. “We had such phenomenal growth. Our growth has now slowed (by comparison), but we’re still growing. I still think we’re in a period of positive growth. I think we are fortunate that we have one of the most diversified economies. “When you look at some other sectors of our economy here – the mining, the agriculture, the biotech, all of the great things that are happening with the Canadian Light Source – there’s so much going on that contributes to this economy. “Maybe some sectors have seen a slowdown, but I think there’s the opportunity for others to bring it up.” MNP recently conducted a business leaders survey in conjunction with the chamber. It found that 93.5 per cent of the 200 businesses surveyed said their companies would be performing financially the same or better 12 months from now. In addition, 57 per cent of businesses expect their capital investment in Saskatoon to increase over the next three years. That was a very positive response,

especially considering the fall in oil prices, the end of the commodity supercycle and other macro-economic trends that affect Saskatchewan and the city. “Looking forward, there was a significant percentage of businesses that felt in the next 12 months they would continue to grow and expand, even though some of them said this year their budget was tightened a little bit,” said Knight. “It was still pretty optimistic. “We do talk about that at the chamber table a lot – just to say, ‘What is the temperature out there right now? What are people thinking?’ “There is no doubt that there will be businesses that will feel a tightening if consumer confidence declines and people tighten up on spending,” she added later. “Some of these businesses will not make it through, some will find efficiencies and make it through, and others will innovate and adapt their business plan where they can. “Strategy and planning will be more important than ever, so that people focus their efforts on investments, expenses and activities that will help them meet their plan.”

“The opportunity to become the managing partner of the region here came up, and it was just a really good opportunity. My husband and I and our boys decided to try it out.” Knight and her husband, Marlow, have two sons: Logan, 12, and Owen, 14. The family spends a lot of time in sporting arenas, as the boys pursue their athletic goals. Knight also spends a fair amount of time on the road. The North Saskatchewan region encompasses Humboldt, Melfort, Prince Albert, Lloydminster and Saskatoon. “I try to get to each of the offices one day a month. I spend a little bit of time in Calgary meeting with my counterparts, other managing partners from across the firm. “We’re probably about 275 people in northern Saskatchewan now, about 45 partners. I feel very fortunate to be part of this partnership. It’s a really good team, really good people. “We’re one firm across the country. You see those words on paper, but until you have a chance to spend time in more than one office, you don’t really know that our values and cultures play out the same way in Saskatoon as it does in Brandon.” Moving on to the managing partner role History of service was more about the appreciation of workKnight was the incoming chair of the ing with people than having any spectacuBrandon Chamber of Commerce when she lar organizational skills, she said. moved to Saskatoon four years ago. “I probably surround myself with specAfter finishing her degree, Knight tacularly organized people.

detail-oriented, maybe a little bit more of an introvert. “We do a lot of stuff in our office around Meyers-Briggs personality types... understanding how to interact with other team members. I’m probably more atypical of what an accounting person looks like – more of a feeler, more of an extrovert, more of a big picture (thinker) than the details.” When she arrived in Saskatoon, MNP was always a member of the chamber. Because of Knight’s affiliation with the Brandon chamber, she already knew how the chamber connects people in a community. “I knew, for me, one of the things that would be important in my role (at MNP) is not only knowing the team internally but also understanding business externally,” she said. She went to see Kent Smith-Windsor, executive director of the chamber, and told him she would love to be involved. Since 2012, she has worked on the government affairs, business development, audit and finance, human resource and compensation committees, as well as on the executive. The time commitment is significant, she admitted, expressing admiration for other business owners who have been president and thereby have taken a large chunk out of their workforces – themselves – to participate. Knight says she’s fortunate to have plenty of backup in her office. “If you want to find a cushy job where you can just show up at a meeting, the chamber’s not for you. You have to be involved. The number one job is to bring the directors together and make sure we’re working in a common direction. We have great directors around the table. Making sure we’re making great use of everybody’s time is my job. “A lot of it is representing the chamber at events . . . creating profile and representing the chamber. There are a lot of organizations that ask the chamber to come out to their ribbon cutting or their special event. It shows that people value and appreciate the chamber.” The chamber does so many different things, people don’t realize the reach of its involvement, said Knight. And, a lot of it happens behind the scenes – much of it orchestrated by Smith-Windsor. “Kent Smith-Windsor is a fantastic executive director,” said Knight. “He has a pretty good feel for the pulse of the community. There’s a lot of collaborating and connecting people, which isn’t an easy role to fill. “One of the things the chamber helps do is create business leaders, better businesspeople in our community, by creating exposure to different parts of the business world. I think Kent deserves a lot of credit for that. He shares his corporate knowledge with others.” Knight herself will be involved in directing chamber policy as well as attending events. “We’re more focused on Saskatoon governance and what’s happening locally,” she said. “We want to create the best business climate in Canada. We want to reduce barriers to trade, make sure we have good fiscal tax policy. A lot of the taxation happens federally, some happens provincially and some happens locally. The chamber would be most interested in property taxes, business licenses, user fees – that local piece.”

Take another Taste of Saskatchewan Food festival now in 20th year

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express nother summer, another Taste of Saskatchewan. It’s that time again, with the foodie event back to satisfy the appetites of thousands of hungry people. The annual festival of food and entertainment, presented by Conexus Credit Union, will once again be nestled in Kiwanis Park, on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River, in the heart of Saskatoon’s downtown. The familiar tents will be up between the Delta Bessborough Hotel and the Vimy Memorial band shell, playing host to more than 100,000 visitors from July 14 to July 19. The event is celebrating its 20th year feeding Saskatchewan under the sun. A Taste of Saskatchewan 2015 will feature more than 30 Saskatoon restaurants, serving up their most popular house dishes. There’s something for everyone and for every appetite, whether you’re hungry for a main course, in the mood for dessert or feeling up for adventure with a taste of specialty items. In recognition of the event’s 20th year, SaskTel Centre organizers of A Taste of Saskatchewan wanted to do something special to mark the milestone, featuring foods grown right here in the province by Saskatchewan producers. Enter Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan (FFC SK), a group that represents crop and livestock producers, chefs and agriculture businesses in the province. Together, the two organizations are proud to be presenting the first ever Chef’s Series, featuring live

demos and competitions highlighting some of Saskatoon’s best chefs using the finest of Saskatchewan-grown and produced ingredients. “This is such a great opportunity to celebrate all the foods our producers grow with care here in Saskatchewan that feed people all over the world,” said Adele Buettner, CEO of FFC SK. “Plus, who doesn’t love a chance to see great food prepared by the best chefs in town?” The Chef’s Series stage will feature cooking demonstrations on each day at noon hosted by a Saskatoon chef, who will prepare his or her own recipe of the day’s featured product. Small portions will be available for purchase, with proceeds going to the Saskatoon Food Bank. Each evening between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., two chefs will be presented with a black box of ingredients and a limited amount of time to prepare a dish. A panel of judges will evaluate their dishes. Each day, the winning chef will move forward in the competition until two finalists compete and a winner is declared in the final on Sunday, July 19. In addition to the food, a big part of the excitement is generated by the talented performers on the free stage, which boasts a busy daily schedule of some of Saskatchewan’s most premier bands and performers during the six-day event. Genres include everything from country and rock to jazz and salsa. Local music lovers will recognize both veteran musicians and newer talent scheduled to perform, such as The Chickadees, Brian and Ryan, Apollo Cruz and the Harreson James Band.

One Voice to feature sports stars

(Continued from page 1) ichael Landsberg, current host of Off The Record with TSN, is a mental health advocate. So is Clara Hughes, the speedskater who turned TV commentator at the last Olympics and interviewed Babcock after winning gold in hockey. So is Kelly Hrudy, currently with Hockey Night in Canada, because his daughter is a champion of the cause. Other celebrities will include Jennifer Jones and Kevin Martin from curling, Hayley Wickenheiser from women’s hockey and Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir from figure skating. Among Babcock’s catches in hockey was Ryan Getzlaf, a star both times with the Babcock Olympic teams, which won gold medals. “As a boy who grew up in Regina, he gives us that special Saskatchewan connection,” said Babcock. “It is all about giving back. That’s what the spirit of Saskatchewan is all about.” What inspired Babcock the most has been the gifts from his mother and father. “I was coaching the Moose Jaw Warriors when my mother died, much too young at the age of 50, in 1993. This spring, the Red Wings were in the stretch run of our regular season when my father died. I’ve always said I learned to work hard from my dad and it was my mom who taught me the ability to talk to people.” Babcock recalled another influence in learning to face the reality of cancer’s presence. “When I was coaching junior hockey

The three Mikes: the coach himself, the coach’s father and the coach’s son (Submitted photo) in Spokane, one of my friends was Mark Rypien, who was born in Calgary but raised in Spokane. He played quarterback in the National Football League and had his biggest success with the Washington Redskins, where he was voted a Super Bowl MVP in 1991. While we were in Spokane, Mark lost a three-year-old son to cancer. The boy was the same age as my son, Michael. That hits home.” Babcock coached three years at Red Deer College, two with Moose Jaw, six with Spokane, then joined Cincinnati in the American League. He made his NHL debut with the Anaheim Ducks, a two-year run, and then won one Stanley Cup and 527 regular season games with Detroit

from 2005 until the end of last season. One of his joys this spring was the news that Nik Lidstrom, his defence star with the Wings, was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. “He was truly a superstar, the greatest defenceman of our generation, really deserving of a first ballot acceptance by the Hall of Fame people. Off the ice, Nik was a better man, a better family man, and in the dressing room, his leadership was spectacular.” Of course, Babcock created some news of his own, becoming the newly minted coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, with an eight-year contract in hand. JW15447.G13 James “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” said

Babcock, “and the rebuilding of the Maple Leafs won’t happen in a day, either.” Much like the way he and Maureen care for their own family, Alexandra, Michael and Taylor, Babcock believes in family values and connections with the team. During the NHL draft in Florida, Babcock immediately shook hands with the team’s three highest choices, Mitch Marner, Travis Dermott and Jeremy Bracco, and then went to introduce himself to the parents. It is a gesture that other NHL coaches seldom do. “It’s not just about the young men coming into our dressing room, it is about their families learning to become part of our organization.”

CHERRY BACON QUESO DIP

7 strips Cherry Bacon cooked and chopped 2 cups of your favorite salsa 1 finely chopped green pepper 1 finely chopped clove of garlic 1 cup of grated medium cheddar 250g cream cheese- at room temperature 300m1 Cattle Boyz maple bacon bbq sauce

To cook delicious food, you need to control your cooking temperature because the compounds in foods react differently to different levels of heat . On a grill, a 2-zone setup is ideal because it gives you much better control over temperature. In a 2-zone setup, you have one side of the grill that is hot and producing direct radiant heat, and the other side is producing no heat and food on that side cooks. The most common mistake we make is using too much direct heat. That’s how we make hockey pucks or bricks . If meat is exposed to very high heat for too long it tightens up. Using a 2-zone setup allows us to control the temp applied to the food. We can start our Citrus marinated flattened chicken over the indirect zone at a low temp and

cook them until they are almost done. Then move them over the direct zone to crisp the skin and finish cooking. Every grill is different, but try to get your indirect zone down into the 225°F range. That’s a magic number at which a lot of foods cook best. On a charcoal grill you push the coals to one side. On a gas grill you turn off all the burners except one or two. You will need to fiddle with your system. You may find that you can hit the 225°F mark with a three burner gas grill by turning one burner on medium and the other two off. A good way to do this is do some dry runs with a good thermometer and without food. You cannot trust your grills thermometer. You absolutely must get a good digital thermometer for your grill.

BEEF BACON

CHEF’S BBQ SEASON TIPS 1. A slow cooker on low temp mode is a great place to keep things like spinach or bean dip warm for your festive gatherings. 2. Pre heat your bbq. Just like your oven, get your bbq up to temperature before throwing on your dinner. This will help create the searing process and add great caramel flavor to your grill 3. Its always a great idea to keep a roll of masking tape by the refrigerator. Date and label your leftovers so you don’t needlessly throw away food.

Farmers Market Co-op brings produce to the people

Beth Jarrell Saskatoon Express

reating an accessible, convenient neighbourhood farmers market was Christopher Dunlop’s goal when he joined the Community Farmers Market of Saskatoon Co-operative. “We like to say that we come to the people,” he said. “Our goal is to try and make local farmers more successful in this area while also bringing local produce to Saskatoon.” The Community Farmers Market is a thrice-weekly operation held in locations across Saskatoon. Dunlop says markets are a great way for consumers to have a more personal connection with those from whom they get their food. “You know where you’re getting it from, and that’s the best part. With the grocery store, they get a third to a half of the money. Here, (farmers) get 100 per cent of the retail, so it allows us to put all that money back into the local economy.” Chelsea Erlandson is the co-owner of Spring Creek Garden, which comes to the market three times a week. She says that the market is a great way for customers to learn more about what they’re eating. “It’s a great atmosphere, and you really get to learn about the vegetables you’re consuming instead of just seeing them in a grocery store,” she said. “Here, you can ask the people any questions you have and they’ll give you a really knowledgeable answer, since this is their life.” The market, which started in 2007, splits its time between two permanent locations at Peavey Mart and London Drugs. Roughly 20 farmers are members, some driving as far as 200 kilometres to sell their goods. Dunlop has been involved

with the operation of farmers markets since he was young. “I joined the Community Farmers Market in 2008, but I’ve been doing this since I was 17. I really like working outside and having my own hours, and meeting all the different people.” Dunlop says one of the biggest challenges he’s faced this year is the lack of rain in the province. His 30-acre farm near Clavet is on dry land, and getting water can be tough. “I don’t have a river or a lake to draw out of, so this year has been challenging. Most farmers are on a river, but we’re not. This year has affected our potato crop a lot. It’s been a difficult spring.” Erlandson says their 175-acre operation, outside of Outlook, has faced challenges this spring as well. “We’re the last farm in the irrigation district, and since we grow vegetables, we have to request the water before the farmers do. The drought has definitely caused some things to lag behind.” For farmers like Dunlop and Erlandson, it’s not an easy lifestyle. Much of their livelihood depends on uncontrolled factors, and making a profit can be difficult. “It’s expensive to start up every year, and it takes a few months of selling just to pay for seeds. I don’t even start putting money in my pocket until mid-August,” Dunlop said. “It’s a bit unpredictable, because bad weather or no rain can change Chelsea Erlandson brings produce to the Community Farmers Market everything. three times a week (Photo by Beth Jarrell) “A lot of people don’t realize the cost of the produce – things they find at the farmers Erlandson says she wouldn’t trade the The Community Farmers Market is market – hasn’t changed much in 15 years”, lifestyle in for anything, however. at the Eighth Street London Drugs on he added. House prices have gone up, gas “I couldn’t see myself doing anything Tuesday and Friday, and at the 51st Street prices have doubled, but some of our proelse,” Erlandson said. “I get the winters Peavey Mart on Thursday.

Some cities you see fans come out in costume to every show.” Johnson says that the show will stun audiences with an action-packed performance that has a little something for everyone. “We do a lot of fighting and high falls. The show has a lot of stunts with it, and that’s one of the things I love about it, is constantly learning new things,” Johnson said. “We had three months of rehearsal before the show opened last year, and during that we had to learn technique work. There’s a proper way to learn how to fall to make sure everything is safe, and you have to learn the various kinds of falls.” Actor Ramon Dickenson, who plays Green Goblin in the performance, agrees. “It’s definitely action based. There are some scenes with Spiderman where I get to move around on this structure that’s an image of the Statue of Liberty, so it’s 30 feet off the ground. It’s very exciting. . . . Safety comes first, though.” For the performers, athletic ability is key. Dickenson, who has previously worked as a personal trainer, credits his love of parkour for getting him a spot in the play. “One day I was browsing the Internet and came across a YouTube video of a guy in Russia doing parkour and it was really inspirational. It made me want to go out and just start trying,” Dickenson said. “It’s funny how that one video led me to discovering all these new paths in Actors from Marvel Universe LIVE! captivate an audience at a recent performance (Photo supplied) life.” For Dickenson, coming back to Canada feels like coming home.

To tell, or not to tell: affair clouds future relationship

LIANNE TREGOBOV Matchmaker

Dear Lianne, I need some advice. My exhusband and I separated almost two years ago and are now divorced. Unbeknownst to him I had an affair two months before I asked him to leave. I saw the guy I had the affair with for a couple of months, but we had never discussed a long-term relationship, nor did I expect one, even though he was single. My ex and I had been married for just over six years and had seen a marriage counsellor for several months, about a year before the separation. I knew within a couple of months after we were married that I had made

a mistake, but was committed to making it work. Having an affair was a selfish and immoral act. I had never even cheated on a boyfriend and was embarrassed and ashamed by the affair. I’ve not even told my best friend about the affair. I have had no contact with the guy I had the affair with for a year and a half. He had tried reconnecting with me about a year ago, and I told him I had no interest because what I had done was wrong. I have not dated anyone since the affair and had no intention of getting into another relationship. That said, more than two

months ago I reconnected with an acquaintance from about five years ago. We are very interested in one another on a romantic level. Our relationship, to date, has been texting and phone calls. He lives in another city. His former common-law, from about six years ago, had an affair and he lost all respect for her, which is very understandable. He is coming to visit me at the end of July. I don’t want to keep any secrets from him and strongly feel I need to disclose my affair so he can make a decision about me based on truth, not lies. What should I do? — Unfaithful and Ashamed

Dear Ashamed, Sometimes we do things in life that don’t sit well with us when we reflect. It seems as though you have learned from your affair and would be unlikely to repeat this behaviour. I see absolutely no point in telling this fellow about it. There are certain things that are better left unsaid. As long as you trust yourself, there is no reason to pave the road to have someone mistrust you. (Lianne will be in Saskatoon interviewing new clients July 21-24.

Dear Carol, If the toilet seat is extremely old and stained it might be easier on your mother to purchase a new seat. But for regular cleaning, here are a few tricks to keep that seat looking and smelling fresh. Wipe the seat with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and baking soda. The eraser cleans the stains, while baking soda adds abrasion to get rid of surface mess. Another option is to scrub with whitener toothpaste and an old toothbrush. Some people have also had great results by scrubbing the dry area with an art eraser before regular cleaning. Lastly, you can clean the seat with Shout (the pretreatment product used to get rid of stains on fabric) and scrub with a scrubby pad. Hi Reena, We own a faucet made of glass. After every hand wash a few drops dry off at the bottom of the faucet surface, where the water runs. Now it has lots of watermarks I can’t remove.

If you know that you are making French toast for breakfast, let the bread sit uncovered on the counter overnight. • Use cream instead of milk when making French toast. Once you try it, you’ll never go back. • Skip the margarine and reach for the butter instead. For a rich flavourful treat, line the pan with butter before frying. • When cooking is complete, get ready to eat because they are best when hot.

She has already invested 20 years in the aviation industry, and is certified on many types of aircraft. Transwest is a local business that provides scheduled, charter and medevac operations in Saskatchewan. “I’m humbled by this recognition, but share it with so many,” said McGonigal in a news release. “Throughout my career, I’ve benefited from countless mentors within the industry and beyond, most notably Terry, my husband and fellow aviator, and my father, who recently retired from a 40-year international aviation career.

The best-kept Chevrolet secret is out T

he Chevrolet Impala has been on the market for decades. Some models became household names and a 427 SS was the thing dreams were made of. Then the car fell off Chevrolet’s map and returned as the family car it always was. The only problem I can see with the Impala is that Chevrolet seems to hide it away and push the newer model names. It would appear that a mid-sized car that seats five adults and is rated at 9.3 litres per 100 km (2.5 litre 4) in town isn’t worth the ink to tell people about. Specific power output is 196 horsepower and 186 ft.lb. of torque. With this setup, the Impala is easy to drive in town and requires moderate throttle inputs to get up to city speeds, merge with traffic or get into that gap in traffic. With the optional 3.6 liter V6 Autozone and variable valve timing, customers get 305 horsepower and 264 ft.lb. of torque and 10.6 l/100 km. That makes merging, selecting gaps in traffic or getting up to speed and passing a whole bunch easier – but, as you can see, there is a penalty to be paid in fuel economy and the harder you drive the larger the penalty. Impala suffers from a lacklustre Chevrolet naming system for trim levels. LTZ does not have the cache of SS. Basically there are three trim levels. Start with the Impala LS as the base model. LT is the mid-level trim and LTZ is the bottom of the top, so to speak. The LS and LT get the four while the LTZ only has the V6. On the LT the four is standard and the V6 is optional. No matter how you do it, Chevrolet will let you add options to the trim level. So when you look at an order sheet, make sure what you order cannot be ordered for less money and better content by moving up a trim level. On the outside, Impala displays a design that Chevrolet claims uses the styling cues of past decades without being nostalgic. They must be right, because I don’t see anything of the past in this design, but do find it a pleasantly modern aero design that is not gaudy and certainly isn’t conservative. Of course the various trim levels add enough bling to keep just about everyone happy. There are a couple of design tricks that make your eye think the Impala is more svelte than it is. The trunk, for

Charles Renny

(Photos supplied) example, looks a bit on the small side, but inside it holds an impressive 532 liters of cargo. Translated to real figures, think enough luggage for an extended vacation for two, or four sets of golf clubs, minus carts, or a full trip to the grocery store when the kids are coming home for the weekend. In the passenger cabin, the driver’s seat is comfortable regardless of trim level, but the more you pay, the more convenient it becomes with the addition of more power adjustments, heating grids and leather-faced coverings. Mind you that happens to the passenger seat as well. It would seem that Chevrolet has figured out that if my “side seat cruise control” is comfortable and relaxed, travel goes much better. Travel is what the Impala does best. The suspension seems as comfortable dodging potholes as it does going down a good road. Manners on gravel are good and washboard sections do mean slowing down a bit, but the tail does stay put. When cornering, the semi-luxury orienta-

tion of the Impala comes out. There is a bit of body lean and the comfortable seats do not supply the same amount of lateral support as a more aggressive sport seat when pushing real hard. If you push a bit too hard, the front will give you plenty of notice before it slides out. Once you have tired the “Ronnie Racer” in you out and the family is with you, baby seats, child seats and adults will all find your sedate driving to Persephone Theatre relaxing. Large doors make dropping people off easy and the large green house lets you see around you so that you can get to and park in any parking space you want to. A police version is available and a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)/Propane fleet version will be available sometime this fall. In case you hadn’t noticed, I liked the Impala and I have to admit it is 48 years since my dad bought one. I barely remember it, but it was distinctive enough that I do remember. Nothing can measure up to memories, but this Impala is true to the spirit in these changing times.

Micromanaging the Nissan Micra N

Charles Renny Autozone

issan has finally figured out that there is profitability in meeting the needs of entry level buyers. That is the only conclusion I can come to when the base price starts at $9,998 in Canadian dollars and the standard equipment list includes items such as Vehicle Dynamic control and ABS. Getting away from the equipment and into the range of intangibles that help make a better car are little details such as the Micra being available in 160 countries worldwide, but not in the United States. Canadian Micras were tested in real winter conditions and on potholed roads (Montreal, not Saskatoon) where the power steering was fine-tuned along with the suspension. Sixteen-inch wheels are used to better get over the smaller potholes and still have enough sidewall in the tire to be able to absorb some of the shock from the deeper ones. Heating systems were upgraded to meet Canadian winters, while heated mirrors and seats can be ordered on some models. The end product is a Micra that does a good job for the price. It is a bit noisy inside and quite Spartan. Through all of this you need to remember that the car starts at less than $10,000. If you want a $30,000 ride, be prepared to pay. Getting back to the Micra, for those that do want a bit of comfort in their lives at an economical price the Micra S carries the $9,998 sticker price. Adding an automatic will bring the sticker up $13,298. As well the automatic Nissan puts in AC and cruise control, which makes the deal a whole lot better. Stepping up to the Micra SV will pick up the sticker price to $13,698 and an automatic will bump that another $1,000. This trim level gets you heated outside mirrors, a six-way power driver’s seat, a cargo cover and a few more things, including the ability to order a $500 convenience trim package.

(Photos supplied) At the top of the price heap is the Micra SR with the MSRP (sticker price) of $15,748 for the manual gear box and $16,748 for the automatic. Not satisfied with having great pricing, Nissan has also looked at the social side of the balance sheet. Specific details are available at each dealership. Nissan has a first-time buyer program that is available to any first-time buyer. There is a recent grad program available to new grads from university or high school. One of the cornerstones of Nissan’s multicultural involvement in Canada is the implementation of a new Canadian financial program. One more financial implementation at Nissan is an overall buyer’s program designed to help first-time buyers that do not have credit or have a poor credit rating. After you figure out how to pay for a car, one of the other considerations is actually driving it. Nissan has done a real good job here, too. Nissan likes to push the concept of Japanese quality with European styling, but since their European partner is Renault I have to say the design is great. Outside, the Micra is similar in shape to competitors such as the Yaris, yet manages to stay distinctive. Inside, Nissan has its own distinctive “flavour” and it does maintain this with a comfortable driv-

ing position and a practical interior (right down to the LATCH system of anchoring child seats). Power comes from a 1.6 litre DOHC inline four that has variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust cams. Total output is 109 horsepower and 107 ft.lb. of torque. For the non-technical this makes the Micra easy to drive in town and return good fuel economy numbers on the highway. If you wish to get involved in a stop light grand prix or pull out to pass on the highway, plan ahead. You may be faster than a speeding turtle, but you will not be faster than some lead foot in his BMW who is

talking on his cellphone. Handling is such that, by yourself, you can have a decent amount of cornering fun and, when your side seat cruise control is with you, calm and sedate driving in a well-defined family manner can be easily accomplished. The only weak spot I found was that if I have the seat set back so that I can drive comfortably, the seat behind me will only hold an infant seat or a teenager who really does not want to walk home. Aside from that, Nissan has covered the bases of an entry level car: affordability, practicality, reliability and fun.

The factory hot rod: 2016 Cadillac ATS-V

Charles Renny Autozone

adillac is ready to take on Europe’s factory hot rods, the Mercedes Benz AMG C 63 and the BMW M 3. The new Cadillac ATS-V, which expands the ATS product range and elevates the “V” series to the next generation of performance, should be in a showroom near you. Available in coupe and sedan formats, the first-ever ATS-V introduces twin turbocharged technology and a comprehensive list of design and performance systems. According to Johan de Nysschen, president of Cadillac, the “Cadillac V-series is the best example of Cadillac’s emerging product substance and the purest expression of the passion at the core of the brand.” This ATS-V, which arrived in the spring of 2015, is powered by the first-ever twin turbo engine in V series. Rated at 455 horsepower and 455 ft. lb. of torque, this will be the segment’s highest output engine and it will be mated to a six-speed manual gear box with active rev match, no lift shifting and launch control. Alternately, buyers may choose the eight-speed automatic with paddle shift, launch control and performance algorithm shift. To match the power output of the new engine, the ATS chassis has been completely redesigned with the goal of making it one of the most agile, responsive and confident luxury performance cars on the market. “As the smallest and lightest “V” series ever, the ATS-V forges a great connection with the driver, with exceptional nimbleness and responsiveness,” said David Leone, Cadillac executive chief engineer. Leone went on to say: “It’s (the ATS-V) adaptable to driver preferences with every selectable mode developed to deliver the best performance for all driving scenarios, including the race track.” To that end, key technologies such as Brembo brakes, third generation Magnetic Ride Control, driver selectable driving modes and available

(Photos supplied) Recaro seats are used. Technologies that cannot be seen include a 25 per cent stiffness improvement in the chassis, a functional exterior design that aids powertrain cooling as well as improving vehicle aerodynamics. Additional contributors to the ATS-V’s dual mode of driving pleasure are suspension and steering changes. The multi-link, double pivot MacPherson strut suspension has been revised to give a quicker response to changing requirements. At 96 km/h, magnetic ride control “reads” the road a thousand times per second, or for every 2.5 cm of tire rotation, the suspension will be adjusted to suit road conditions. In addition, zero compliance, cross-axis ball joints replace the traditional elastomeric bushings used in all ride and handling links. The end result is a 50 per cent improvement in roll stiffness and noticeable improvements in handling. The ZF Steering Systems, Servotronic II variable-ratio, electric steering system has a stiffer feel and an improved feeling of precision and driver feedback. Cadillac’s five-link rear suspension features reduced roll-centre migration through stronger lateral control and anti-squat geometry. Increased spring rates, stiffer suspension bushings and a stiffer stabilizer bar make sure the rear suspension compliments the front. A standard, electronic limited slip system ensures that maximum traction is provided at the wheels, ensuring the best use of the traction available. During performance driving this ensures that exit speeds are as high as possible while ensuring that normal street use is enhanced as well. Almost every panel on the ATS-V is unique and serves a specific purpose. The

vented hood is stylish, made of carbon fibre to reduce mass. It helps to cool the power train by increasing air flow and it provides downforce. In general the body is designed to be stylish, to cheat the wind and use aerodynamics to provide a stable driving package. Standard tricks include front splitter to force air around rather than under the ATS-V, aerodynamic wheel arches to cover the new wider tires and an integrated rear spoiler. In addition there is an aero package available that includes diffusers, a larger spoiler and a more aggressive front splitter among other items. For those who are more concerned about lap times than getting groceries, the track package includes a performance data recorder and a low mass battery as well as deletion of floor mats and the tire inflator kit to save on mass. Equal attention has been paid to the in-

terior and driver’s environment. The theme of track-inspired precision carries over to the interior, with a three-window instrument panel cluster, with V-series graphics and distinctive gauge readouts. Seats are firm and hold a wide range of body types firmly and comfortably. Sixteen-way power adjustable Recaro bucket seats are available for those who want to take performance to the extreme. CUE with natural voice recognition has the latest up grades including Bluetooth, text to voice on incoming messages, USB, auxiliary and SD memory card slots. When used in conjunction with the Performance Data Recorder it can show you how to improve your track (and potentially street) driving techniques. The ATS-V is intended to continue the Performance with Luxury theme started in 2004 by the CTS-V.
