Gordie Howe 1928-2016

“Unfortunately we lost the greatest hockey player ever today, but more importantly the nicest man I have ever met. Sending our thoughts and prayers to the Howe family and to the millions of hockey fans who like me loved Gordie Howe. RIP Mr. Hockey.” — Wayne Gretzky

Memories of Howe: His early years

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express ordie Howe’s mom, Katherine, once told Jim Vipond, sports editor of the Toronto Globe and Mail, about growing up in Saskatoon: “There were a lot of people on social aid. A neighbour lady, whose husband was sick, came to the door with a grain sack filled with things and asked me if I would buy it to help her feed her baby. I didn’t have much offer, but I reached into my milk money and gave her a dollar and a half. We dumped the contents of the sack on the floor and out fell a pair of skates. Of course, Gord pounced on them. “Edna, his younger sister, and Gord each tried on a skate. They put on several pairs of stockings, and out they went. The old Hudson’s Bay slough ran behind our house, and the kids could skate for miles. They kept coming in cold, bruised and crying, but they’d go out again. After a week Gord offered to buy the other skate for 10 cents. I gave him the dime to make the deal.” ***** Craig Mackay, who became a speed skater from Saskatoon at both the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games, grew up on 22nd Street in Saskatoon and was the same age as Howe. Mackay saw Gordie skate a lot. Gordie attended Westmount School

skates over my shoes after the boys played their games. The boys, including Gordie, would take shots at me.” The reward came in later years when Gordie was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. He autographed his picture, writing “To #1, Best always, Gordie Howe.” Goalies traditionally wore No.1 in those days. About the summer of 1945, Henrietta was scooping ice cream into the cones at T.C.’s Confectionery on what was then known as Avenue A. (Continued on page 7)

He was younger but bigger than some of our players. I caught him with a couple of checks and drove him into the snow banks. We knew each other very well. “I really think the difference for Gordie happened when he moved to King George where the school principal, Bob Trickey, took him under his wing. Mr. Trickey helped his skills and gave him the confidence to be a good player.” Craig’s sister, Henrietta, has a souvenir from Gordie which she cherishes. “I was six when we had the rink in our backyard.

through grades one to four. He really drew notice while playing for King George School, where he led the school to the city hockey championship three years out of four. “Gordie lived on Avenue K, across the street from Westmount School. He’d get out of class, go home and get his skates, run back through the alley and hop the boards. He was out there until dark. Most of the lighting at Westmount and at our homemade rinks came from the street lights. He’d come down to our home rink on occasions. “He didn’t mind being out in the cold.

With the exchange rate, Jazz Fest artistic director Kevin Tobin’s job was more challenging this year. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson)

June 25; and City and Colour, focusing on the talent of singer-songwriter Dallas Green who is introducing a new CD, If I Should Go Before You, for Sunday, July 3. “Both are Canadian acts, both have been extremely successful in their previous visits to the festival, and they gave me the strengths, one at the beginning, one at the end, on which I could build the mainstage foundation,” said Tobin, the artistic director now in his 16th year with the festival. Then came the good fortune of acquiring Lauryn Hill, who won five Grammys in her record-breaking year of 1998, to open the festival on June 24. It’s hardly a surprise that the creative singer chalked up

this year’s first sellout. “We loved her show in 2014. She did the unbelievable by selling out in four hours, something that had never happened in our history. She was the one that people wanted to see again.” The other key early signing was the Tedeschi Trucks Band, featuring Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, who gave up individual careers to build a powerhouse 12-member unit steeped in modern roots music. They will appear on June 25, giving Tobin an opening weekend package of considerable stature. “The Trucks have been on our radar for five years, but when the opportunity came to sign the band, with Susan and its new look, it became a logical choice.” To add more Canadian content, Tobin went to Toronto guitarist Jesse Cook for June 27 and the legendary Downchild Blues Band for June 30. The other main catch is Big Boi, one of the most relevant artists in hip-hop and a shared talent in six major studio albums, for July 2. Tobin’s role this season was more challenging than some in the past. There was red ink on the financial books last year. Some was caused by the sharp decline in the Canadian dollar and costly exchange rates. Some was caused by a dip in attendance, partly caused by the smoke from the La Ronge fires which settled over Saskatoon by Tuesday of the festival. The 2015 festival appeal turned out to be much different from 2014 when there were four sell-outs at the main stage — Ben Harper, whom they’d sought for six years; John Legend, who struck with a hot recording; Tegan and Sarah, and Lauryn Hill. “Every year is different in the challenges it presents. Nobody ever bats 1.000 in baseball and nobody in the promotion business ever bats 1.000 either,” said Tobin. There have been times when the festival has booked acts valued at around $400,000 before the currency exchange was established. The exchange rate the last two years has been 30 to 34 cents on the dollar and that has made American acts extremely costly. (Continued on page 7)

SREDA honours business newcomers

he Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) honoured businesses and individuals at the inaugural Newcomer Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (NEYA), which was celebrated on June 6 at TCU Place. “The gala was a celebration of newcomer entrepreneurs who have demonstrated the drive and determination it takes to be a successful business owner in the Saskatoon Region,” Alex Fallon, president and CEO of SREDA, said in a news release. “Their stories are unique and inspiring, and reflect their desire to contribute to our community. We are delighted they have chosen to live in the Saskatoon Region, to build a future here and to build companies that generate employment opportunities for local residents. We are … a stronger economy because of their contribution.” The 2016 NEYA winners are: • Start-Up Award: Colors of India, Sneha Chakraborty Sneha Chakraborty, who is from India, wanted to add to the growing diversity of Saskatoon by opening Colors of India on Avenue B. Her hard work, passion and a growing customer demand for ethnic wares and clothing led to a bigger location within a year on Second Avenue. Today, the store is flourishing and she is a source of employment to newcomers struggling to start their careers. • Growth Award: Baydo Development Corp, Yufeng Wang Yufeng Wang, president and CEO of Baydo Development Corp., was born in China and received a scholarship to attend the University of Saskatchewan to complete his PhD. Yufeng started Baydo in 2010,

and since its inception Baydo has invested more than $100 million in commercial, residential, multi-family and single-family real estate projects in Saskatoon. • U39 (under 39) Award: Odd Couple, Andy Yuen Odd Couple, a locally-owned, family-operated Asian restaurant in Riversdale, was opened by Andy Yuen in May 2014. Odd Couple offers modern Asian flavours, local beers, wine and Asian-inspired cocktails in a sophisticated, modern, upbeat setting. Andy incorporates local products and produce in his dishes, including various products from Riversdale Asian grocery stores. Odd Couple has more than 20 employees. • Connect Award: Manila Cleaning Services, Florentino and Myrna Aranda Florentino and Myrna Aranda immigrated to Canada in 1977 from the Philippines. In April 2007, they started Manila Cleaning Services Ltd., a commercial and industrial cleaning company. It gave the Arandas an opportunity to help new immigrants and pay them wages allowing for a better life in Canada. Manila Cleaning Services has over 80 employees working full-time and part-time. • NEYA Spirit Award: First Impressions Hair Design, Wajid and Maysoon Toma Maysoon and Wajid Toma immigrated to Canada from Iraq in search for a better life. They overcame many obstacles in their journey to Canada, and worked tirelessly to learn English and achieve their goal of owning a hair salon. In June 2009, the Tomas opened First Impressions Hair Design. Their four children were raised in the family business and are following in their parents’ footsteps.

tion, the cry would still be that it isn’t enough. Will any government tackle health and education with a goal to revamping how the money is spent? No, because it is political suicide; so we will continue to throw new (and borrowed) money at old problems, knowing nothing will change. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau graciously welcomed refugees to our country, and Saskatchewan opened its arms to a proportionate number of those newcomers. However, our premier asked the federal government for financial support to help settle these new families, which included increased costs for health, education and social services. No money was forthcoming from Trudeau. For education alone, the province increased funding by $5.4 million specifically for Syrian refugees and even that is probably not enough. We also have increased health care and social services funding for the same purpose. Why isn’t the federal government helping the provinces with these costs? I appreciate that debt is debt regardless of the level of government, but at least at the federal level all Canadians are on the hook, whereas provincially a little more than a million people pay the price. The only real surprise for me was that the government allocated zero funding for a new bridge for Prince Albert. This is the gateway to the north and our vast resources.

hour line up to cross the bridge in Prince Albert because the one bridge that exists is undergoing maintenance and repair. If ever a new bridge was needed, it is in Prince Albert. It is particularly irksome when you think Saskatoon seemingly builds a new bridge with each neighbourhood expansion and gets support from the province to do so – and let’s not forget the Global Transportation Hub expenditures in Regina. The biggest public reaction seemed to be losing funding for five urban parks, but with funding for Wascana Centre Authority (WCA) and Meewasin Valley Authority (MVA) still intact, at least for this year. I was surprised to learn that WCA receives $3.618 million yearly, compared to our MVA’s $740,000, particularly since the MVA’s jurisdiction goes beyond the city limits. However, Saskatoon’s revenue sharing from the province is roughly $6 million more than Regina receives and the revenue sharing pool was increased by 2.4 per cent. (Interestingly enough, no one commented on the wisdom of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a stadium, art gallery or swimming pools.) I admit to disappointment, but am resigned, to an increased provincial debt. We are spending future revenues today, and if we are blessed with sunny days in the years to come, people will demand more rather than realizing we have already spent that future. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Tributes pouring in for Mr. Hockey

Carolina Hurricanes@NHLCanes: Our deepest condolences to the family of Gordie Howe. Proud that he will always be a part of our heritage. #legend Brad Wall@PremierBradWall: With profound Sask pride for one of our own... good bye Mr. Hockey. All our sincerest sympathies to the Howe family & friends. RIP Gordie. Sports Illustrated @SInow: Everything we admire about hockey and its virtues was manifested in Gordie Howe. Helene St. James@HeleneStJames: When I first covered #RedWings, and saw Gordie Howe in locker room. Would tease “no girls allowed”. Said with biggest smile & little nudge. #9RIP Mike Kelly@MikeKellyNHL: Gordie Howe scored 100 points in a season

Civic flags at half-mast Mayor Don Atchison ordered all flags at civic facilities to be flown at half-mast in memory of Gordie Howe. “It’s a sad day for Saskatoon and the hockey world,” Mayor Atchison said. “Gordie Howe was about more than the sport of hockey. He symbolized the best in all of us; kindness, generosity of spirit and a willingness to reach out to those who needed a hand. He was a tremendous ambassador for Saskatoon.” Flags will remain at half-mast until Howe’s funeral.

(Continued from page 3) e pay the same dollars for American acts that they do in Montreal and Toronto, sometimes a little more. In many cases, the fees and the demands go up. We have to keep the festival affordable to our customers. We also know that the events on the mainstage are the ones which pay for all the acts at Friendship Park. Those park concerts are free to the public but they cost us money to stage them,” said Tobin. A year ago, the festival offered about 170 shows, the largest number ever, but this year, the total will go back to the 135-plus range. “The free stage is an integral part of our identity. A year ago, the first four days were the best we ever had,” said Tobin. “Then the smoke rolled in and the numbers were down the rest of the week. We do have to live within our means. Some of this year’s cuts will be made in different areas. But in our bookings this year, 55 per cent of the acts will be straight-ahead jazz, and about 90 per cent will contain some form of jazz.” New this year will be two film nights in the Gardens — A Hard Day’s Night on June 28 at 9 p.m. and The Wizard of Oz on June 29 at 9 p.m. Films are family friendly, free of charge, and will be shown on two large screens. Those curious for a firsttime look should bring their own chair or blanket, but cannot bring in food or beverages from the outside. The Broadway Theatre, which holds about 420, will have six performances. They include Royal Wood on June 24, the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra with Dee Dee Daniels and Fred Stride on June 25, Hiromi: The Trio Project on June 26, Oliver Jones Trio on June 29, Poncho Sanchez ad his Latin Jazz Band on June 30 and Joe Lovano’s Quartet on July 2. “Oliver Jones recently played The Bassment and we know that this is his last Canadian tour. His show for the festival will be a special tribute to Oscar Peterson. He played the first Saskatoon festival in 1987, many in-between but most notably in 2011 when he wrote The Saskatchewan Suite for us. He’ll soon be turning 82 years old and for 77 of them, he’s been playing the piano.” The Bassment, which is home to the Saskatoon Jazz Society, will feature shows by Jacky Terrasson on June 24, Corey Harris on June 25, Flat Earth Society on June 27, the Marianne Trudel Quartet with Ingrid Jensen on June 28, Pugs & Crows on June 29, Patricia Barber on June 30 and the TD Jazz Intensive on July 2. The festival box office is located in the lobby of the Delta Bessborough Hotel. Find the festival online at saskjazz.com. Call 306 652-4700.

Howe picked hockey over baseball

(Continued from page 1) he confectionery was next door to the Howe home and right across the street from Cairns Field, where Gordie loved to play baseball and softball in the summer. “As he ate his ice cream cone, Gordie admitted to being sad. Having once hurt himself in a ball game, he’d been told by the Detroit Red Wings that he had to make a choice between hockey and playing ball. Gordie didn’t like to make that kind of a choice. He loved every game he played. History shows he made the right one.” ***** As mentioned, King George School won three city championships with Gordie on the team — 1941, 1942 and again in 1944. In his final season, King George outscored the opponents 106-6 in 11 games. In an interview years later, Robert Trickey, the principal and coach at King George, said: “One of the outstanding characteristics about Gordon, as far as a teacher is concerned, was his kindness.

I can honestly say that never at any time did he cause me any disquieting moments when he was a student.” ***** Bert Hodges was a railway man with the CNR. Often he and his wife, Frances, would make sure there was a skating rink in the back yard for all the neighbourhood boys near King George School. With Bert busy on the trains, Frances became the coach. In a conversation with Roy Macskimming, author of Gordie: A Hockey Legend, Mrs. Hodges said, “We’d wake up in the morning to see Gordon skating on the rink all by himself. Sometimes he’d have to clear the snow off, but he didn’t mind. “Or it could be the coldest night of the year, but Gordon would be out there practising all by himself.” In the winter of 1942, the King George Athletic Club made it all the way to the provincial bantam hockey finals. Saskatoon lost the series, but in the second game when Saskatoon was outscored 10-6, Howe scored five of the his team’s goals.

We are the champions

To the delight of more than 15,000 fans, the Saskatchewan Rush defeated the Buffalo Bandits 11-10 last Saturday at the SaskTel Centre to win the National Lacrosse League championship. In the photos, Rush goalie Aaron (Stone Cold) Bold (far right) celebrates with the Champion’s Cup. Bold was the MVP of the playoffs. Mark Matthews (above) paid a price after scoring the first goal for the Rush. Jeff Cornwall scored the winning goal with 12 seconds left in the game(above right). Jeremy Thompson(right) leaped off the boards in the dying seconds of play. Sadly, his jump cost the Rush possession of the DC052391 Darlene ball. (Photos by Sandy Hutchinson)

The City of Saskatoon arborist bought the shop in April. The City Park Barber Shop has been around the block for a long time, opening in 1933 under the ownership of Bill Zacharias. Kozak’s fateful first trip to the shop was in 1973. He left the neighbourhood about 10 years later. The shop came back into his life about 15 years ago. “I met this beautiful girl — Kristina Rauw. As we were dating, I said I should go get a haircut and she said her mom owns a barbershop, let’s go there. I came into the City Park Barber Shop and I said, ‘Your mom owns this?’ Before you knew it, this was my mainstay for getting haircuts. “Fourteen years later, I found out there is a possibility of ownership. I asked my mother-in-law (Maira Rauw) what she would like to get out of it. She told me an amount and I said OK.” Maira Rauw is staying on for now, working morning shifts that go into the early afternoon. The shop also employs two other barbers. “He pays the bills and I will manage it,” Maira Rauw said with a laugh. Kurt Kozak is the new owner of the City Park Barber Shop (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Kozak isn’t a barber, but his motherin-law says he could be, given his gift of the gab. Get your haircut with Kozak in the shop, and you will be treated to some good stand-up/sit-down comedy. He has no desire to become a barber though. “I let the pros do that,” he said. “I’m an arborist and I do my pruning in the trees.” Cam Hutchinson and new to the neighbourschool and they said, ‘You don’t want Kozak has put a lot of klicks on his Saskatoon Express hood.

(Continued from page 10) hen I grew up here it was all single-income family people with two or three and up to six or eight kids. Walking in the past few weeks I have come across a diverse group of people.” He remembers his youth. He graduated from Wilson School and then City Park Collegiate. “We drove through these areas with our Mustang bikes, sissy bars and extended forks,” he said with a laugh. “I look now and I see how Kinsmen Park transitioned to where it is now and it’s not as good as when I was a kid. They used to have that pond going right behind City Hospital all the way to river. People put fish in there; it was innocent times.” Kozak has made some changes to the space, with new flooring, lighting and paint. He didn’t want to tinker too much with the old-school barbershop look and feel, though. “They are neat looking and they have class. They’re not artificial. I think we

are going to draw a lot of people into here.” Rauw said she didn’t have any intention of closing the shop, but eventually would have sold it. Kozak didn’t want it sold to just anybody. “Her daughters are all doing their own things and I thought, ‘Why not? What do I have to lose?’ A business that has been here this long is bound to recirculate with new life. “I think that happened to a lot of barbershops, there was no one to pick up the pieces. I will keep it up, keep it fresh. That is all a person can do. I think the three people I have working here are awesome. “It’s lively in here; they get the banter going with the customers talking and it’s all old school.” Bill the Butcher would be proud. (City Park Barber Shop is located at 6 - 801 Seventh Ave. North. It can be reached at 306-652-6333. All haircuts are done on a walk-in basis.)

Saskatoon’s 2016 Women of Distinction

he YWCA Women of Distinction awards were presented recently at a gala at TCU Place. The ceremony marked the 35th year of honouring women in Saskatoon in a number of categories. In addition to the 10 winners, Maureen Reed of the University of Saskatchewan’s School of Environment and Sustainability was presented with the YWCA’s Lifetime Achievement Award. The category winners were: Arts, Culture and Heritage Jeanette Lynes: Jeanette Lynes is the inaugural director of the Master of Fine Arts in Writing program at the University of Saskatchewan.

Dear Reena, I clean my hardwood floors on a regular basis, using only a little dish soap, a mop and water. After the job is complete, the floor ends up with water spots all over it, making it appear carelessly clean. Am I using the wrong type of mop, cleaner or is it my water? What am I doing wrong? — Marianne Dear Marianne, Chances are that the mop is too wet. When cleaning hardwood, laminate or bamboo, the mop need only be damp. For a thorough cleaning, you might want to periodically wash the floor with additional water. However, unless you towel dry the floor, water spots will appear. If your home has ceramic or stone floors, clean them first with a wet mop until most of the water is gone, and then use the slightly damp mop to clean the wood floors. Feedback from Reader Dear Reena, I was very skeptical about the fast potato peeling method that you mentioned a few months ago, so I tried it. I boiled a pot of salted water, scored the raw potato peel with a knife around the middle and then

boiled it for 20 minutes. I then removed the potato from the hot water and dropped it into an ice cold bowl of water. I used my hands and pulled the peel off within seconds. It worked! — Mason Rejuvenate Patio Furniture Clean cushions with a spray bottle combination of 1 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. dish soap and 4 cups of water. Liberally spray cushions and then scrub with a green scrubby pad. Rinse with a garden hose and sunshine dry. If you purchase new patio cushions, but they don’t match the furniture, consider giving the frame a new look with specialized rust-proof paint. Teak is a great choice for patio furniture. The wood’s oil emits an odour that naturally repels termites and other pests that can harm the wood. The oil in teak also protects the wood from water. Use teak sealer annually to protect the wood. Use soapy water for regular cleaning. I enjoy your questions and tips; keep them coming. Need a presenter on the topic: Effective Speaking or The Power of Words? Check out: Reena.ca.

However, there is one thing I can do that I once saw on television. I learned how to do smoke signals. It took me several years to finally get it right, but now if I ever get lost I can use smoke signals for help. Of course you have to keep in mind Indians never get lost; they’re just not there yet. If a First Nation person does something bad or against the law, even as far away as the East Coast, for some reason some people think it’s a reflection of me as a person. Frankly, I couldn’t care less what other people do, First Nation or not. And, if a First Nation person does something incredible or positive, the first thing I generally hear is, “see what you people can achieve?” In my entire life, I’ve never followed anyone’s footsteps. I would rather break my own trail. Mind you, it used to weigh heavy on my shoulders at one time. I used

to work as a television news reporter and every morning my dad would start by reading the police reports. When a serious criminal offence was committed, I used to say to myself, “I hope it’s not an Indian.” I don’t know why it used to bother me, but I think it was because it would “make us all look bad.” That was years ago. Today, I couldn’t care less because I know who I am. I will never justify my existence to anyone, especially some redneck who gets his education from old western movies. I am proud to be from the Cree nation. I’m proud I still speak my first language and can pass on anything I might have learned about my culture. I may not know how to ride a horse like a warrior on the silver screen, and I may not fulfil that image, negative or not, that only exists in some people’s imaginations. But there is one thing I know: I am Cree, a direct descendant of the founders of this great continent. KNCREE@gamail.com

Very rarely will you have an opening in the middle of the week; we feel very lucky with the situation here, and we are going to make them pay for it, trust me.” And by all accounts, he did — over and over again. At the media gathering Brooks said he would rather talk with people than at them. He asked each person to give their name and media affiliation before asking a question. The first woman to ask a question was Stephanie from The StarPhoenix, or Miss Stephanie as he called her. “You weren’t born yet the last time we were touring,” he said with a smile.

“The answer is always, ‘We just want to play.’ I don’t care if there are five people out there, 500 or whatever the number is, the show is still all about those people walking out and saying, that’s the best show they have ever seen. That’s the goal. Whether they do or not is their call, but that’s the goal for us.” He said the final number of more than 90,000 tickets was crazy and awesome. He stopped himself when he said it was stupid. Other questions came from Miss Meaghan and Miss Shauna and numerous other Misses. His partner, country star Trisha Yearwood, is Miss Yearwood. She was wearing those ripped jeans that old people don’t understand. Why would you buy jeans that are already ripped? He is so honest and sincere and believable. The session was light-hearted until Brooks talked about being a father. “The highlights of my life are my three daughters and marrying the love of my life (Yearwood) … I never thought anything would thrill me more than playing music. No offence to music, but it can’t compare.” He stood until the last question was asked. Then he and Yearwood did one-on-one interviews lasting a couple of minutes each. And then it was time to get stupid times six in Saskatoon.

sembly must have the opportunity to seek information. The ability of members to ask questions helps form public opinion on numerous issues of importance to the province.” During QP, members of the Opposition are supposed to ask questions of ministers regarding their individual portfolios on our behalf, so we can form opinions on “issues of importance to the province.” The problem is the answers they receive, and by extension, you and I receive, from the government. For the 10 QPs that occurred between May 17 and June 6, Hansard reveals the 1990s NDP government was brought up 42 times as the basis for the government’s answers to the problems of 2016. That’s roughly four times per 25-minute question period, or every six minutes, that the government has blamed the previous NDP government, which folded eight and a half years ago, for what we need answers on right now. For example: Opposition Leader Trent Wotherspoon: “With almost all of Saskatchewan already rated at either high or extreme risk of wildfire, will this government restore the

$50 million that’s been cut from wildfire management since 2009?” Premier Brad Wall: “Well, Mr. Speaker, the manner in which we budget for wildfire management in the province last year and referenced by the member opposite is very similar to what the previous NDP government did in Saskatchewan . . .” And this: NDP MLA David Forbes: “Why is this government cutting valuable programs for heritage languages instead of cutting their own mismanagement?” Minister of Education Don Morgan: “Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned, this is a program that is not core to the educational services that are provided by our province. I can advise the members opposite that it was . . . when they were in government, they closed 176 schools.” Then I went back to the spring session of 1990, eight and a half years after the NDP took government away from the Progressive Conservatives. Half-blind from reading all those 2016 Hansards, I simply ran a search for the word “Devine” on each day. In five days I was up to 40 references to the sins of the conservative father.

It’s pathetic, and I really expected better of this government, especially by now. There’s one more factor, however, that I think turned question period into flashback period in recent decades. After much foot-dragging and delays, television cameras were finally installed in the legislature in 1983, and not long after that, so were the amplified theatrics.

desperate bid for a clip on the 6 o’clock news. Now that we’ve established that QP has devolved into a total farce, how do we fix it? That part, if you ask me, is simple. Just stop it. If that can’t happen, and I say this is in all seriousness – get rid of question period, because it is an absolute waste of time and resources. In no way is it coming close to fulfilling its purpose to “effectively examine government activities.” In fact, if it’s going to continue, it should be paid for by the political party, not the taxpayer, because everything that happens in those 25 minutes has nothing to do with their best interests.

Memories of Muhammad Ali

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ennis Page, his brother Greg and a friend affectionately known as Mr. Boney were walking into the airport in Louisville when Muhammad Ali approached. Page laughs as he tells the story. “Ali walks up, says, ‘Hey, what’s up Bones. How you doing?’ Then, ‘Hey Greg, how you doing?’ Gregory spoke and then Ali looked over at me, ‘Hey, Joe Frazier. What you doing in my town?’ “He put up his dukes and I started shaking. He goes, ‘Aw Dennis, I’m just playing with you.’ That is my most fond memory of Ali.” The moment was so Ali, said Page, a former main-event fighter and manager who now trains boxers and promotes the sport in Saskatoon. “That is the joking and the fun he used to have. When he was playing around with the kids, he would get in the ring and tell us the difference between moving and dancing. He would tell us, ‘the reporters call this dancing and let them call it that. But this is graceful moving,’ he said. ‘Everything you do out here is to put your opponent in a different position.’ He would break it down like that. ‘Let reporters call it dancing; dancing is what you do in a club.’” Ali died on June 3. Dennis and Gregory Page were boys

when they met Ali, long before the day at the airport. Dennis’ father, Albert, his uncles, future champion Jimmy Ellis and Ali all trained at the same club in Louisville. As his fame grew, Ali left Louisville, but he always visited his old friends and neighbourhood. “Whenever he would come back, we’d all sit around like in a classroom formation and watch him do his thing in the ring. He would talk to us about boxing and having fun. He was a hero of the projects.” Page said Ali was an inspiration for young African Americans living in Louisville. If he could make it, maybe they could, too. “For young black kids growing up without any idols or any heroes, he was it for everybody. I know that is a lot of weight for one guy to carry, but is what he was. Everyone wanted to be like Ali. I know I wanted to travel all over the world like he did. Ali used to tell us if you get good at boxing you can go wherever you want to go, just allow it to take you. So that’s pretty cool.” Dennis was on the path to be a championship boxer when he was told by his father that he would be managing Greg’s career and wouldn’t be fighting anymore. Greg Page went on to be the heavyweight champion of the world. Dennis said he will cherish his memories of Ali. “He was the greatest of all time.” Boxing at Prairieland On the heels of a successful card in Feb-

Live Smart. Live Nature. Live The Pines.

Sometimes when you feel something is just right, you know it’s a good decision. That old adage comes into play at The Pines, a North Ridge Developments’ bungalow and walk-out bungalow townhouse offering in Evergreen. Everything about the development is just right. The energy-efficient construction of this development, at 103 Pohorecky Crescent, is a step-up from normal construction. Everything from the walls to triple-paned windows is energy efficient. That means your home will be more comfortable and your monthly energy bills will be lower. That feels right.

The typical high-end North Ridge touches abound, including highefficiency furnaces and on-demand hot water will be in every home. That feels right. All appliances are Energy Star rated and are included in the price. That feels right. Of course, there are granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms also. The nine-foot ceilings on the main floor, the air-conditioning and a main-floor laundry room are all part of the plan. This feels just right, too. The development features a unique tiered rock-and-water feature which adds a peaceful serenity to your surroundings.

North Ridge has done everything to remove any headaches for homeowners by using maintenance-free exteriors and by offering three distinct exterior siding colours. Inside, there are six colour palettes to choose from. Save your strength for the good life and say goodbye to mowing your lawn or shovelling sidewalks. That’s a thing of the past now. Doesn’t that sound right? The two-bedroom two-bathroom homes range in size from 1,142 square feet to 1,232 square feet and are priced from $420,000 to $450,000 for homes with a walkout basement. There is also the added security of

North Ridge’s warranty program leaving any concerns at the door. And if this isn’t enough ... a school and a town square are in the plans for the area. Show home hours are from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. Steve Little would be more than happy to talk to you about The Pines. Give him a call at 306-361-3900. To get to The Pines, head north on Lowe Road from the University Heights shopping area. Pohorecky Crescent will be on your right when you hit Evergreen. Once you arrive, everything will feel just right.

Make your (empty) lot beautiful and get a tax break

Question: Can you explain the city’s plan to give tax abatements for property owners who turn what can be unsightly vacant lots into community gardens? Mayor Atchison: I believe we need more community gardens across the city. I look at the phenomenal success we have had at the Garden Patch at Duchess Street and Third Avenue. In the last six years, Ask the it has produced more than 100,000 pounds of food for the Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre. Milt (The Spud) Taylor came up with the idea. It’s about more than producing food. Many people enjoy gardening and it’s a great physical activity. Also, as building lots become smaller, fewer people will have space to garden; so empty lots turned into gardens is a great idea. I am hoping in the future, some of our park space could be used for the same thing. Question: What is the benefit to the property owner? Mayor Atchison: Fifty per cent of

What is Rodgers eating if he can’t cut the cheese?

erry Fox’s Marathon of Hope was named the top moment in British Columbia sports history. Second was Sidney Crosby’s gold-medal winning goal. No word on where the Stanley Cup riot placed. • From Torben Rolfsen: “Guy Lafleur doesn’t like the big playoff beards, saying they wouldn’t fly in his day. I guess not; with all the cigarettes, they would have started a brush fire.” • Bill Littlejohn, on the coin landing on its edge during the pre-game flip at a Colombia-Paraguay soccer match: “The odds of such a thing happening are roughly equivalent to a Cubs-Indians World Series and Johnny Manziel playing in the NFL again.” • TC Chong, on Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rogers being on a diet that does not include cheese: “Football fans in Saskatchewan have sent him watermelon hats to replace his cheesehead lid.” • Wouldn’t it be something if Kevin O’Leary ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party? Can you imagine Trump in the U.S. and O’Leary here? One is thin skinned, arrogant and rude, and the other is Donald Trump.

• Janice Hough, on Johnny Manziel still holding out hope for a return to football in 2016: “‘Give it up already,’ responded Tim Tebow.” • From Rolfsen: “It’s time for the Kansas City Royals to send Yordano Ventura to anger management class. This guy makes Donald Trump seem rational.” • From Chong: “A couple were pulled over in Richmond, B.C., for having sex in their vehicle while driving. Their GPS was directing them to ‘get a room.’” • Baseball analyst Harold Reynolds, on draft prospect Kyle Lewis: “He’s 20 years old. That’s what stands out. Most people are 21 at that age.” Yogi Berra just rolled in his grave. • Hough, on Justin Bieber apparently losing a fistfight with another fan after Game 3 of the NBA final: “On the brighter side, he reportedly put up a better fight than the Warriors.” • To heck with Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton. After all he’s been through, I’m thinking Phil Kessel deserves to win a Stanley Cup. • From Rolfsen: “Denver Bronco Aqib Talib was shot in the leg in Dallas, but says he was too drunk to remember what actu-

ally happened. Sort of like last season for Packers fans.” • Littlejohn, on Aaron Rodgers giving up cheese: “In other news, London’s David Beckham is giving up fish and chips.” • From Hough: “Bill Nye the Science Guy says that conservatives need an ‘epiphany’ to attract younger voters. OK, science is one strike against him; does Nye really think it will help his cause to use high-faluting words like epiphany?” • Chong, on Talib being shot: “He claims he was so inebriated that he didn’t know how he got the bullet wound in his leg: “‘I wish I would have thought of that,’ said Plaxico Burress.” • TSN’s Darren Dreger is concerned about the direction of minor hockey. There is too much emphasis placed on winning, he said. This is breaking news? • From @fakesportscenter: “Tiger Woods will not play in the U.S. Open. However, he will be a judge for the Daytona Beach Miss Hooters competition.” • From Hough: “Elizabeth Warren said Donald Trump is a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud who has never risked anything for anyone and serves nobody but himself. You know, Sen. Warren could

DC061312 Darlene

be really impressive if she would just stop sugarcoating things.” • Rolfsen, on Uruguay striker Luis Suarez kicking and punching things when his manager wouldn’t play him in the Copa: “At least he’s saving his biting for an important tourney.” • Factoid: The Blue Jays scored 891 runs last year. They are currently on a pace to score 675. • Hough, on Kentucky coach John Calipari saying the Philadelphia 76ers should select the Wildcats’ Jamal Murray as the No. 1 pick in the June 23 NBA draft: “So what did Murray ever do to him?” • Chong, on a massive sinkhole closing Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa: “Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that he is planning to look into it.” • Rolfsen, on Dick Vitale signing an extension with ESPN through the 2018-19 season: “At that point he should qualify as a ‘Diaper Dandy.’” • Brock Lesnar says he is a modern-day Bo Jackson. I can’t stop laughing long enough to write a punch line. • Stephen Curry won’t play for the U.S. at the Rio Olympics. If we ask him nicely, maybe he’ll play for us.

Puppies and other doggerel

By RJ Currie ive all-pitching nicknames for the puppy adopted by the Savanna Bananas baseball team: 5. Steve Snarlton; 4. Clayton Curshaw; 3. Rover Cleveland Alexander; 2. Bite Gooden; 1. Growl Hershiser. • The Gordie Howe C.A.R.E.S. Pro-Am tournament in Calgary will be back in 2017. Mr. Hockey would have like it to be played at the Saddledome — next to the Elbow River. • Police think Aqib Talib shot himself in the leg, but the Broncos star said he’d been too drunk to recall. There’s a first: an accidental shooting where the victim was loaded. • TSN reports the Montreal-Winnipeg pre-season opener was highlighted by the usual mistakes, botched exchanges and confusion over rules. But enough about Rod Black. • The Cleveland Indians condiments race took a turn when infielder Jason Kipnis knocked Ketchup down. Critics said Kipnis did it because he can’t cut the mustard. • Rachel Lauren Clark made MLB history at a Blue Jays game as the first transperson to throw a ceremonial pitch. Have to ask: Was it a change-up? • The Saskatchewan Roughriders were 3-15 last year without their starting

At the bottom was the Harper government’s last budget. • According to a recent poll, Draymond Green was the Warrior Cavs fans hated most — by a wide margin. Title that one: Not Everybody Loves Draymond. • Phil Jackson said Shaquille O’Neal once showed up naked to a Lakers practice. Guess it wasn’t just the free-throw line where Shaq had air balls. • Appleton, Wisconsin, home of the Timber Rattlers baseball team, has been named “drunkest city in America” by 24/7 Wall Street. And folks worry about bats being corked. • The NHL and the NHLPA announced the World Cup of Hockey, set to run in September. Right: because nine months of hockey a year just isn’t enough. • True: a fan at Giants home game jumped into McCovey Cove to retrieve a Brandon Belt home run ball. False: he was one of the Splash Brothers. RJ’s Groaner of the Week Metro UK reports over 1,000 sheep ran amok in the streets of Huesca, Spain, after the Shepherd fell asleep.

Kick the elephant out of the Jetta, and enjoy the ride

he first thing to do when talking about a Volkswagen is to get the elephant out of the car. Volkswagen has been in the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. The company was found to have two diesel engines that were for sale in North America that did not meet emissions standards. They only met the standards when in test mode, so technically the company was not “cheating;” but it certainly was sidestepping the intent of the regulations, which was to provide diesels with particulate and greenhouse gas emissions that were similar to gasoline engines. Autozone The Jetta I drove had a gasoline engine. To be more precise, it had a 1.4-litre, DOHC< 4-valve per cylinder, turbocharged, direct-injected, inline four. Power output is 150 horsepower and 184 ft. lb. of torque. The basic automatic is a six-speed automatic Tiptronic™. The trick with this combination is how you put it together, and Volkswagen has done an excellent job of that. The first thing the company did is wrap these components in a stylish four-door sedan body that will hold four adults in comfort and a fifth if necessary. Yes, the current Jetta lineup is big and, unlike the original models, it has curves. The sleek design looks good enough that you can drive it anywhere and not feel out of place. The little chrome that is on the car accents the design without attracting extra attention. Now that you have a grin on your face, get the driver’s door open and sit down. The driver’s seat in my test unit was partially power-assisted, which meant sussing out which part was manual and which part was assisted. In any case, getting comfortable behind the wheel took about 30 seconds. Getting ready to drive took a bit more time. Mirror adjustments, inside and out, were first on the JW061301 James

get the job done. Skeptics and naysayers can zip their lips because this engine hauls the freight in an impressive manner even considering the size of the car. To get the most out of the power train, you actually have to be able to drive, be sensitive to the nuances of the engine (and it takes a few days to get used to the way the power comes on). If all you do is drive from A to B with granny in the back or to get groceries, you are not going to feel the balance in the corners or the joy of dusting that obnoxious SUV that was beside you at the light. Jetta has a base price of $15,995 this year, but for many of us, there need to be a few extras to be real comfortable. Priced at just under $23,000, my Comfort Line+ was a great average car. Volkswagen does have a Jetta Hybrid as well as a couple of performance models such as the GTI that will lighten your wallet a bit more. Exactly how much will depend on how fast you want to go. Drop in and see my buddy Steve M. He eats, sleeps and breathes VW. He can tell you how fast you can afford to be without looking a thing up. Oh hey, you’re looking for the legal, right? Take a look, here it is: Vehicle(s) may be shown with optional equipment. Dealer may sell or lease for less. Limited time offers.

list. Then it was time to look around the inside. Stereo and HVAC controls are prominently placed in the centre stack. Additional stereo controls are mounted on the steering wheel and plainly marked. At the top of the stack is the prerequisite LCD screen that doubles as the GPS map screen. I happen to be a fan of the VW Nav System because it seems to be the most obvious system to operate and to get the results I want out of it. Next on the list of items I enjoyed was the overall handling. All it takes is a set of struts up front, complete with lower links and then a multi-link rear suspension to make sure the back end goes where it is supposed to even when on washboard gravel roads or rippled and broken pavement. In addition, the tires have a bit of sidewall windup during hard cornering and give plenty of warning when getting ready to let go. If you are a smart little bear and back off, the nose does come back and cornering will remain pleasurable. I know many prospective buyers are going to say that a 1.4-litre engine, even turbocharged, just isn’t going to
