BROS

Album a departure from Sheepdogs’ sound Ewan (left) and Shamus Currie collaborated on a new album — BROS Vol. 1. (Vanessa Heins Photo) Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express f you listen to Brazil — the song, not the country — you’ll hear a bit of a Beatles vibe, a dash of Beach Boys harmony, a salting of Queen’s softer, lilting moments.

There’s not a lot of Sheepdogs “rawk” happening here, despite the artists’ pedigrees.

Brazil is the second single to be released from the 10-track album BROS Vol. 1 by Shamus and Ewan Currie, the Sheepdogs’ brotherly duo. It was released Friday by Dine Alone Records.

Even after a long Sheepdogs tour, the Curries just couldn’t quash the artistic urge.

“The genesis of the project was in 2014,” said Shamus Currie in an interview from Toronto last week. “We’d just finished a really long Sheepdogs tour, and we found ourselves with a bit of downtime in Toronto. We were sort of looking for ways to stay sharp, and keep ourselves busy.

“Every time we get off tour, it’s like, ‘oh, I can’t wait to relax and not do anything for a while.’ After a week of doing that, you start to go crazy, you know, and look for the next thing to occupy your time.”

So, Shamus and Ewan headed over to their jam space in Toronto on a regular basis, just to keep the notes flowing.

“Ewan and I would get together and just jam and practise tunes and start hammering out songs. The next thing we knew, we had this sort of collection of 10 goofy songs that we’d been playing.

“They were songs that didn’t really fit in the Sheepdogs mode,” Currie continued.

“They weren’t straight rock and roll songs.

They were more like pop songs, songs that featured different instrumentation, goofier, weirder lyrics, and we thought it would be kind of fun to make a project out of that.

“We played all the instruments on the album. It’s a super-insular project, just like us going back and forth, layering all these tracks together to make this album.

“And then we brought in a drummer because neither of us are particularly good at drums,” he said, with a laugh.

Tristan Henderson came in on drums, and joined the brothers at Taurus Recording in Toronto with engineer Thom D’arcy, now known as “the third bro.”

Currie said BROS Vol. 1 ended up as a “wacky, idiosyncratic” album with plenty of pop hooks.

uscle genes don’t run on my side of the family. They do on Sandy’s side, though.

Our nephew, Brett Gore-Hickman, is on the cover of the 2017 Saskatchewan Professional Fire Fighters Association (SPFFA) calendar. Brett is the son of Sandy’s brother, Rick Gore-Hickman, which leaves me totally out of the bloodline. It doesn’t omit me from being proud, though.

Saskatoon born and raised, Brett is now working as a firefighter in North Battleford. Not only does he have coverboy physique, but he is one heck of a good guy.

It is cool that John Pfeifer — one of the firefighters that appeared with Editor the pink truck in a photo in last week’s Express — is also featured in the calendar. Methinks John was too humble to tell Sandy and me.

Proceeds from the calendar support the SPFFA Burn Fund. Copies are available at London Drugs, Sears, Peavey Mart, Pharmachoice and www.saskfirefighterscalendar.com. I’m thinking I can probably get Brett to sign your copy.

Random thoughts: • A tip of the old cap to members of the Saskatoon media for the fine job they have done in setting the stage for the civic election. If voters feel uninformed on the race for mayor, it’s because they don’t turn on their radios or televisions, don’t read the paper or don’t use social media.

Maggie Burke is one of the eight finalists in the Saskatoon Zoomer Idol competition. Please see the story on Page 9. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Albert Einstein would be impressed with the number of theories on that. People talk old vs. new, and vote splitting this way and that way. Prominent people are lining up behind each candidate. I think we are going to be in pretty good hands no matter which of the top three win.

• A StarPhoenix news report made mention of what mayoral candidate Devon Hein wears to debates. Is this relevant? The writer’s point was that you can’t be taken seriously if you wear jeans, running shoes and a T-shirt to debates.

• Is it newsworthy that Hein rode a bus to our interview?

• It was pretty cool that the Riders practised on the lawn in front of the Parliament building. It is highly unlikely you would see that on the lawn at the White House. I take that back. Who knows what kind of shenanigans would take place on the grass in a Donald Trump administration?

• Hillary Clinton and Trump didn’t shake hands before the most recent debate. As someone said on Twitter, you never know where Trump’s hands have been.

• We enjoy having students from the Prairie Spirit School Division spend time with us as part of their work-education program. Kirsten Szwydky from Borden was here a couple of weeks ago. In this edition, Kirsten and I have a shared byline on a piece advancing Zoomer Idol. The truth is Kirsten did most of the work.

• Two words I am ready to put on a coalfired backburner: Carbon tax.

• The Saskatchewan Rush of the National Lacrosse League has surpassed the 7,000 season-ticket mark. That’s darn near half of the SaskTel Centre.

• Did I hear that Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for writing songs while high?

• Saskatoon public school trustees sure got it right in naming new schools in honour of Chief Whitecap, Colette Bourgonje, Ernest Lindner and Sylvia Fedoruk.

• My First Nations friend Ken Noskye has a dilemma. He is a Blue Jays fan, but told me he doesn’t think he can cheer against the Indians. ***** Boxing Tickets We have two pairs of tickets to give

Please put “Boxing” in the subject line. Two Saskatonians will be fighting for interim Canadian championships on the seven-bout card. In addition, Saskatoon’s Michelle Nelson will return to the ring after battling cancer twice and beating it into remission both times. She hasn’t fought for three years. Watching her is worth the price of admission.

being twisted by watching all hell break loose in the U.S. Our issues are minor compared to what the U.S. — and the rest of the world — is facing, as long as there’s a possibility that a pig and a lunatic may become president. So maybe I want the tone to change from “we need change because things suck” to “this city is fantastic, and I’m going to make it even more so.”

I know Moore and Clark have said, “Saskatoon is great, but we have challenges and I’m right person to meet them.”

That’s fine and right and good. Like I said, it’s the tone in general that’s sitting a bit uncomfortably.

I’m not endorsing anyone, let me say that first. I think there are at least three very good candidates in this campaign.

But the winner of this debate, for facts and funny, for details and composure and relative positivity, was Atchison. Not for nothing has he been elected mayor in the past. *** Who will win the election? Coming into the debate, the three leading candidates were very close, and there was still a large undecided vote. Some say that we should have a first, second and third choice on the ballot, since it’s beginning to look like someone may well win with 30 per cent of the vote, and that’s hardly a mandate.

Maybe the debate will help people decide.

I keep getting the feeling, though, that this campaign is a bit negative. Moore slams the city for spending. Clark slams Atchison for not doing a good enough job.

Atchison slams Moore for her inexperience.

Here’s another example. In a rebuttal, Clark says the role of mayor goes beyond giving citizens what they want. It takes more than just attending events which doesn’t leave time to address the issues Saskatoon is facing. Atchison is famous for attending zillions of events (about 1,200 annually, really) and he responds that being mayor is not about sitting in an ivory tower. Hein also rebuts Clark, saying he just admitted he doesn’t listen to taxpayers.

I don’t agree with Clark that Saskatoon is a bit short on hope. I don’t agree with Moore that city hall is fiscally ridiculous.

Obviously, I don’t agree with Hein that holding the line on taxes is the only issue.

That being said, I don’t agree with Clark and Atchison that the Remai Modern Art Gallery was the best thing ever to hit the city, either.

I would make a lousy politician, I guess; but I want to hear more positivity, I really do. I hate robocalls, I hate campaigning on other people’s faults and perceived faults, I hate nasty personal stuff.

The Village at Crossmount is an age 55+ community, located five kilometres south of Saskatoon on Lorne Avenue. A true aging-in-place community, Crossmount is not only an affordable option, it is also the only option providing a prairie setting.

Set in a 400 acre prairie paradise, the independent houses in the first neighbourhood of Fortingall are spectacular. Available in four sizes ranging from 1276 to 1923 square feet, each house comes with a two car garage with completed driveway, deck, gas fireplace, quartz countertops, hardwood flooring, electric in-floor heat and large walk-in shower with glass door and beautiful decorative tile insets in the master bathroom, walk-in or walk-through closet in the master, two bathrooms, separate laundry space, ten foot ceilings and seven appliances. Tankless water heaters, triple pane windows and electrical for future solar are some of the environmental advantages.

Bungalow style homes with 36� wide doors, snag-free handles and discrete grab bars, raised toilets and our on-site health facility are all part of the senior-friendly features of the Crossmount community.

MARKET MALL – 2000’s As the world witnessed the arrival of a new millennium, Market Mall has continued its role of being a major hub of community for Saskatoon.

Not only was Market Mall a destination for shoppers and visitors to its more than 70 businesses and services, it also became a central destination point as a Saskatoon transit terminal.

In its earliest days, Market Mall was virtually at the extreme east end of the city, Today, urban sprawl has gone in all directions around the mall. As well, large condominium projects surround Market Mall allowing another segment of Saskatoon’s population to utilize its services.

Many of the condo projects are senior-specific and that has brought in many people for other reasons such as mall walking. And with the addition two years ago of a Service Canada office, newcomers with young families to Canada and Saskatoon are heading to the mall.

“Market Mall is just not a shopping mall. Market Mall has become a community,” says Betty-Anne Fisher, the mall’s general manager.

Fisher, who’s worked at the mall for 22 years, says people from around the city have come to identify the mall as their own.

“The perception is we are a senior shopping centre, but that’s not accurate,” she says, adding that many people who grew up in the area are now returning to their roots with their own families.

As well, she has seen a shift in the last 18 months in demographics as new communities such as Stonebridge have filled in and is bringing the young families to Market Mall. As well, the opening of the south bridge on Circle Drive has increased mall traffic.

“Our traffic has increased substantially.”

The mall is not staying static as plans for growth continue. For instance, Safeway, an original tenant from 1966, is planning another expansion. A privatized liquor store will undergo a renovation, as will Shoppers Drug Mart.

The food court will also see new names as Trifon’s Pizza will be opening in the fall.

Market Mall is a destination for these independent tenants you can only find at Market Mall: Neural Net, Bodacious Bust Lines and Lingerie, Children’s Discovery Museum, Move N Soar Family Fitness Studio.

“There is lots’ going on.” Fisher says.

“We are very excited to see what the future holds for Market Mall.”

The only difference from earlier a tax shift from commercial to residential debates was the issue of “carding” and property? Notably, that call did not include “street checks.”

ELAINE HNATYSHYN

There was discussion on city growth and Clark and Moore seem to agree that it should be density over sprawl. Clark claims his work and experience as a councillor makes him the better candidate to manage growth. Moore touts that her experience and background as an urban planner makes her the better choice. Atchison pretty much relied on his track record over the last decade.

What seems to be absent in this campaign is that neither Atchison nor Clark are being held accountable for the costly capital projects, budget overruns, untimely project completions and the subsequently huge operating costs associated with those projects.

Although road repair and rehabilitation are important issues to voters, no one is asking the two incumbents why they let our roadways and infrastructure fall into decay. Nor is there conversation around the ever-increasing utility rates and levies that every property owner pays, not to mention declining basic services.

To sum it up, I thought Atchison presented his position well and seemed to be the most knowledgeable on civic matters, which he should be given his time and position with council. I give him credit for standing up for his past decisions even though some, like bike lanes and carding, are unpopular.

Clark leaves the impression that he

expects a coronation just because of time served at city hall. Moore projects herself as the only change agent alternative.

Again, Hein became irrelevant in this debate because, aside from offering a little levity, he did not really answer the questions posed and continued with his single campaign mantra being that none of the other candidates have respect for taxpayers.

I’m going to wrap this up by expressing disappointment in the social-media war being waged during this campaign.

After the Sept. 30 poll was published indicating Moore to be in the lead, the online attacks on her were vicious and personal. It is embarrassing to read the idiotic comments spewed by ignorant trolls, the majority of whom seem to be Clark supporters.

It is akin to reading Donald Trump’s tweets. Although I accept that these trolls may not be part of Clark’s campaign team, Clark’s team is well aware of what is being said. I had hoped that Clark would post online that he disavowed those comments and ask those making them in support of him to cease and desist with the activity.

Needless to say, I was again disappointed. Hell, call me an ideologue who still believes that the character and positions on issues held by candidates should not be lost to slander. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Zoomer Idol

Boryski’s Butcher Block Catering, BBQ & Food Truck Service

Finalist has a passion for singing

Kirsten Szwydky and Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express aggie Burke will sing three songs in the final of Zoomer Idol. That’s not bad for a woman who doesn’t think she has a singing voice.

The California-born great-grandmother has been a surfer, a biker and a Buddhist nun.

She studied meditation in Australia for a spell.

But above all else, her passion has always been singing. The trouble is, Burke has never been pleased with her voice. She has always thought it sounded unusual.

“My mother could sing, my daughter has a gorgeous voice, and somehow it left me out,” she said.

Burke had radiation on her throat as a child and had part of her thyroid gland removed when she was 28. She thinks the radiation might be at the root of her voice problems — perceived voice problems, that is.

Clearly, the Zoomer Idol judges heard her differently during auditions.

Burke has been living in Saskatoon for about 15 years. During her surfer days in Maui, Burke became friends with a woman from Unity. When the woman began to develop dementia, her family felt she should move home to be closer to family. Burke moved here, too.

“My kids were all grown, my great-grandkids were all grown; they had their own lives, so I thought ‘well, why not?’”

Four years ago, she joined the Orpheus 60 Chorus. One day it was suggested she do a solo. She was nervous but did it. And she kind of liked it.

Earlier this year, Marion Mendelsohn, who plays piano for the Orpheus 60 Chorus, suggested Burke audition for Zoomer Idol.

Very funny, thought Burke.

Mendelsohn was serious and told her friend so.

“I thought she was making fun of me by suggesting that because I really do not have a singing voice,” Burke said with a smile. “I have a low register, and a little bit of a high register, and nothing in the middle. I mean, I sound like somebody who’s trying to yodel, but can’t.”

With the support of Mendelsohn, an accomplished pianist in her own right, and other members of the choir, Burke decided to audition.

“Some of the people in the chorus kept saying, ‘well maybe you don’t have a singing voice, but you know how to sell a song.’ So I decided I would do it and I was absolutely astonished that they chose me.”

She will perform three songs at Zoomer Idol: Do it Again, Makin’ Whoopee, and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. She will be backed by Mendelsohn.

M

“Here I am, 82 years old, and I have sort of started a new career, singing. I’m very, very, happy, and you know, I’ve always loved to sing, that’s what I think I’ve liked better than anything else I’ve ever done.

“I have to believe that maybe I have a way of singing that doesn’t require a voice, but I guess I put my feelings into what I do. I have found ways to avoid singing the notes I can’t sing, and it’s been very challenging, but very gratifying as well. I wasn’t born with a voice, but I make the best of what I have.”

The other finalists are: 1. Brenda Bennett; 2. Mary Ellen Buckwold; 3.Trish Cameron and Wendy Crawford; 4. Gaye-Lynn Kern; 5.

Spectacle (Pat Mitchell, Ed Bajak, Gary Smith and Lowell McLaren); 6. Two Tall Dudes (Evert Van Olst, Ken Jackson and Rob Zuk); 7. Jackie Johnsrude and Michele Wilchuck.

Zoomer Idol is a fundraising event put on by the Saskatoon Council on Aging (SCOA).

It takes place on Oct. 27 at TCU Place. The event includes a dinner, a cash bar, and a program featuring the eight finalists.

Tickets are $100, with a purchasing deadline of Oct. 24. Tickets can be bought at the SCOA office — located in the Saskatoon Field House — or by calling 306-652-2255, visiting www.scoa.ca, or visiting www.eventbrite.com.

Don’t be fooled... It’s not love

Dear Lianne I wanted to ask you some things about my relationship. I’ve been dating a guy for six months I know he really loves me. He doesn’t like me to go out with my friends. He said that is our time. He always wants to be with me.

He just made a big fuss about me not wearing makeup. He said I

am beautiful just the way I am. He calls me all the time on my cell. He gets really tense if he can’t reach me. Nobody has ever loved me like this.

He says I am the best thing that has ever happened to him. My friends do not like him and miss me.

Debbie

Dear Debbie, While I appreciate you are receiving attention that you likely have not had before, this is not love. This is control and manipulation.

He is isolating you from your friends. He is controlling you by asking you not to wear makeup. He gets

upset when he can’t reach you . This is very alarming behaviour and it will only get worse. Please contact a counsellor and review what is going on. It is unhealthy and you need to recognize the signs of abuse and be able to differentiate love from control.

Bolen a leader in Truth and Reconciliation process

T

(Continued from page 3) he model of leadership here can be a model for leadership elsewhere.”

Bolen was grateful that much of the planning and the fundraising for the Cathedral and the Catholic Pastoral Centre took place during LeGatt’s term.

“I arrived as the shovels were going into the ground and the design work was in progress. There were decisions still to be made. I liked the magnificent design work by glass artist Sarah Hall on the stained glass windows. There was a moment when we had to decide to delay the installation, which would come with a higher price in the future, or go ahead. We went ahead,” said Bolen.

“During my time in Europe, I discovered that the cathedrals were the centre of life in most communities I visited. Thanks to the exceptional leadership of Father David Tumback, we have welcomed many different religious organizations and made the building into what we wanted it to become.”

One of the highlights was opening the doors to a Holocaust memorial event, which attracted 2,400 students to hear from Auschwitz survivor Nate Leipciger in April.

TA101716Tammy

Bolen has also been a leader in addressing the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission process and, within the diocese, a council has been formed where Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal leaders are praying and discerning together.

“When the settler society first came to the Prairies, there was an opportunity for a rich cultural environment to be created between the settlers and the Aboriginals. For the most part, it didn’t happen. Instead we became a marginalized society. Today there is a chance to make something happen and there is a chance for us to walk together and seek reconciliation.”

Two years ago, Bolen departed from a bishop’s home on Spadina Crescent West and moved into a Knights of Columbus residence on 20th Street.

“I go for walks and have never felt threatened. I did see things that I wouldn’t have otherwise seen, some positive and some challenging.”

The celebrations of the week were a culmination to a whirlwind schedule where Bolen, an advocate of Catholics and Anglicans growing together, was

at Canterbury Cathedral and in Rome.

He delivered a homily at Canterbury Cathedral, home of the Anglican church.

He was among 36 Catholic and Anglican bishops from around the world to hear Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Canterbury extolling the virtues of unity and mission.

Bolen’s farewell mass featured some of the readings he had used at his ordination mass and his resounding messages about wonder, mercy and talking and walking with God. “I had the great privilege of growing up in a family and living in a time and place where I was allowed to open myself to wonder and I was taught that there was someone who stretched forth his hand to save me, to bring me to life,” he said in his homily.

Having used Thomas Merton’s passage, “mercy within mercy within mercy” as his personal motto as a bishop, Bolen emphasized how the experience of mercy has always been at the centre of his life, mercy in terms of support from parents, mentors, teachers and spiritual guides. He said mercy is so great that everything else is simply part of the great

transformation work of God’s redemption in his people.

“I have known mercy in the beauty of the natural world; and have felt it in the friendships which abide,” he said, adding that many things have helped him believe in the depths of God’s mercy, that it is inscribed in all that is human.

He told his faithful that lives are one long conversation with God and taking the ability to walk and talk together.

“What we learn in this walking and talking with each other, and with the Lord, is how to live together, in order to die together, in order to rise together.”

He said the church is broken and needs healing.

“In many ways it is broken, but none more foundational than being out of communion. There is no path which is more promising for the healing, reform and transformation of the church than to heal that wound. We are working at it, walking together and talking as we walk.

“To you, the faithful people of God, it has been such a gift to walk with you these past six and a half years. I thank God for that great privilege and for bringing fruit from our walking.”

T

(Continued from page 1) he first single was Tell Me, released some time ago, and described by American Songwriter as a “funky, sultry, ‘70s-style track.” Brazil, up next, has a harmony-laced, retro vibe.

“We love that kind of ’60s pop music, with awesome harmony and lots of orchestration and lots of different instruments,” said Currie.

“We were all about embracing that approach of ‘hey, let’s put some harmonies on this line, but let’s put 20 harmonies and make a choir of Ewan just overdubbing himself.’

“That’s what the Beatles would do; those guys were just messing around in the studio, right? Exploring the technology and stuff like that. We thought we’d try to do some of that, or at least go at it with that kind of approach.

“We’re definitely drawing on that Beach Boys, Beatles, Queen kind of vibe.”

Generally, Currie refers to the album’s genre as ’60s or retro pop, but laced with soul and rock and roll. “It’s a little bit of everything. A bit of the kitchen sink approach, if you will.”

GOING ECLECTIC Creating a sound very different from the Sheepdogs was a big part of the point of doing Bros Vol. 1, he added.

“Ewan and I have eclectic tastes in music — we like a whole bunch of stuff, not just rock and roll, but pop music from different eras, soul music. There are even Latin influences. When we were recording a lot of those songs, we were just listening to a wide array of music and trying out a bunch of influences.

“The whole point was trying to be a little more diverse than the Sheepdogs, be a little more out there and weird. Whereas the Sheepdogs is a little more straight ahead rock and roll, BROS is trying to be a little more diverse, I guess.”

Once into the process, it was remarkably easy, even though Ewan and Shamus didn’t play a great deal together growing up; they always had their own bands.

“Obviously that changed when I joined the Sheepdogs four years ago, and (since) then we’ve been making music non-stop,” said Currie.

“When it came to the two of us writing

songs together, we had a lot of shared musical knowledge, just ’cause we listened to the same records and shared the same background. We just really easily got on the same page.

“It was super easy for us to be going in the same direction. We are literally brothers. For better or for worse.”

Touring in support of this album, though, is unlikely, Currie said.

“It’s such a studio project. The songs are going to be pretty tricky to recreate live. We’re doing an album release show in Toronto Nov. 9, but beyond that I don’t know if we’re going to tour a bunch with it. We thought we’d try to do it once and see how it goes. Maybe after November we’ll see if we want to do it again.”

Bros Vol. 1 will be released digitally (see download sites like Spotify and iTunes) but also on vinyl, with fancy, coloured see-through albums.

“We definitely wanted to do a vinyl release because it’s such a retro-sounding project. It really fits the vinyl aesthetic. It’s for all the audiophiles out there.”

Tour closing, feet going up The Sheepdogs just finished a marathon year of touring in support of their album Future Nostalgia. After three or four more shows this year, the band will be taking some time off. Currie is looking forward to putting his feet up for a little while, and likely starting work on a new Sheepdogs album.

“I feel like we were on the road for eight months. I spent a handful of weeks at my apartment. And we’re heading into the middle of October.”

Generating an international following is hard work. The Sheepdogs have had a lot of success in Canada, but the band is still working on building an audience elsewhere.

“We spend most of our time touring internationally, trying to build the brand, in the States and Europe and stuff like that,” said Currie. “It sounds very glamorous, but we’re playing small stages, trying to build a grassroots crowd. It can be a grind sometimes.

“It’s exhilarating, it’s awesome and it’s fun but if you do it too much, it’s like ‘aah, I just want to go home for a little while.’

“On the other side of the coin, you can come back to Saskatoon. We played Amigo’s two weeks ago for CFCR’s Fmphasis.

It was awesome. It was so much fun.”

Down to earth:

Men Who Paint try new pigments Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express he paintings are grey and black, ochre and white — stark, elegant, dramatic, and very evocative of northern Saskatchewan in the fall.

The paint pigments themselves are also very of the earth, just like the colours on the canvases. They have been manufactured from soils, bones and antlers.

It’s a new approach to landscape painting taken by the local group Men Who Paint, and inspired by — unsurprisingly — their soil science professor member.

“This is something that we started last year,” said Ken Van Rees, who has a double long title: head of the Department of Soil Science and director, Centre for Northern Agroforestry and Afforestation, at the University of Saskatchewan.

“It kind of arose because last year . . . was the United Nations’ declared 2015 International Year of Soils, as a way of bringing the attention of the general public to the importance of soils to society.

“I thought it would be interesting if our guys would get together and do a show with soil, and have an exhibition to wrap up the year of soil.”

The group had an exhibition of 40 paintings at the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery on campus then, and now are preparing for a show and sale entitled Breaking Ground at the Willows Golf and Country Club, 382 Cartwright St. Men Who Paint are Canadian landscape artists Cam Forrester, Greg Hargarten, Paul Trottier, Roger Trottier, and Van Rees.

Their upcoming show is on Oct. 21 and 22, and the artists’ reception goes Oct. 21 from 7 to 10 p.m.

Van Rees started building up to this a couple of years ago.

“I’ve been teaching (an) undergraduate class where I’m trying to combine

T

AS101705 Aaron

science and art together. We’re looking at landscapes, so we look at the science side of digging soil pits and trees, and then I get the students to interpret the landscape using art.”

He was also captivated by a Canadian Geographic magazine article on Symeon van Donkelaar, an Ontario artist painting with things he found within 100 kilometres of his home. He used rock, soils and plants, ground them up and painted with them.

“I thought, I have to meet this guy,” said Van Rees. “I’m originally from Ontario, and I went to visit my family, and I thought I’m going to see him. So I hooked up with him and we had a nice long conversation about pigments, and he showed me his lab and all his pigments.”

That inspired the idea of holding a class that combined making pigments in the morning (the science side) and painting with them in the afternoon (the art side.)

He co-ordinated with Allyson Glenn from the Art and Art History department, rounded up soil science and master of fine art students, and brought in van Donkelaar.

“The three of us actually first put this on at Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus, and the second time at Christopher Lake at one of the church camps because the university had closed the (Emma Lake) camp.

“It was a real interesting experience having science students with art students.

The interaction was just really cool.”

That’s how he began playing with soils and turning them into pigments, and then introduced the idea to the Men Who Paint – “who loved it,” he said.

“It was so different. It’s a whole different way of thinking about painting and how your material performs on the canvas or paper. We all got together one night in my lab and we just grinded up pigments

The Men Who Paint are (left to right): Paul Trottier, Roger Trottier, Greg Hargarten, Cam Forrester, Ken Van Rees. (Photo Supplied) and bones and stuff, and then we all put them in little vials, and we all left and did our thing.

“Then we came back together for the show, and it was just amazing to see what everybody had done.”

The Men Who Paint haven’t yet done anything with plants, although Van Rees’s class tried to make Mayan blue out of a plant, with limited success.

“It’s been more the soils, and the bones and the antlers, using them to make a black,” said Van Rees. “You take the bone and the antler, and you put it in a metal cylinder that seals off, and then you throw it in the fire, and because there’s no oxygen in there it doesn’t have complete combustion, it just chars the material.

“Then you take it out and you have to grind it up with a mortar and pestle, and grind it even further on a glass plate and you get really beautiful blacks out of that.”

Which raises the question, what’s different about this black?

“It’s this whole idea of the earth tone colours. . . normally, a lot of people don’t

use black. But when looking at especially the antler black, it has a really rich, deep black colour, and it’s just really nice to play with. Back in the Renaissance, they used a lot of black paint. It adds a nice contrast in terms of the values to your painting.

“The big thing was that with the colours we had, it was just a very different exhibit — ochres and reds, and off-white and a black . . . it’s very different,” added Van Rees.

For a group that loves painting landscapes, and often engages in “plein air” painting, the soils and bones enhanced a sense of place and increased their connection to their subject matter, he added.

“Using natural earth kinds of materials increases that sense of awareness about that place,” said Van Rees. “I think that was important.

“We’ve been painting together for almost 10 years now, and this was about stretching our abilities . . . just something very different and making us think outside the box.”

University alumnus donates $12.25 million to rink cause Merlis Belsher, back middle, wears his new Huskie hockey jersey with No. 1 on the back as he poses for a photo with young hockey players from the Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association last Thursday. Belsher committed $12.25 million to a new University of Saskatchewan multi-purpose rink facility. (Photo by Joanne Paulson) Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express he long-awaited replacement for the University of Saskatchewan’s Rutherford Rink became closer to reality Thursday, as a massive donation was announced on campus.

Merlis Belsher, a U of S alumnus, is contributing $12.25 million to a new twinice facility that will eventually be built south of the Field House. It is the largestever donation from an individual alumnus in the university’s history.

At the news conference held on the ice and in the stands at the Rutherford, Belsher said he had three main reasons for making the donation. The first was that, when hockey pucks hit the ceiling supports, rust falls onto the ice. In other words, the 1929 rink is in pretty bad shape and needs replacing; plus, the facility can be used for other functions.

Secondly, he wanted to help the U of S reach out to the wider community, particularly to the Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association (SMHA) to benefit youngsters playing hockey. Of his donation, $250,000 is set aside as a matching grant to benefit the SMHA, which will be able to book increasingly difficult-tofind ice time at the new facility.

Thirdly, and most personally, he felt enormous gratitude to the U of S, where he received two degrees — in commerce and in law — that provided him with confidence and education in two professions, and opened the door to success in business.

T

U of S president Peter Stoicheff said he was present at an occasion that “four or five or six” previous presidents wished they could have presided at.

He was there, he said, to officially launch the Home Ice Campaign, which will raise funds for the new Merlis Belsher Place named in honour of Belsher’s historic donation.

The complex will cost $41 million to build. To date, with Belsher’s donation, the campaign has raised $34 million, said Stoicheff, and the university hopes to raise another $7 million to reach the total.

Dave King, the well-known hockey coach, is leading the fundraising charge, with a committee including the likes of Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock, Saskatchewan Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser, and former Blades owner Jack Brodsky. Donations can be made at www.home-ice.ca “It’s long overdue,” said King, who appeared in a videotaped speech, “. . . and we’re going to get this done.”

Tim Hodgson, the chair of the Home Ice committee, explained that it will be up to the U of S board of governors to make the final decisions on the new rink construction.

The facility will have a 90-foot wide main surface, seating for 1,830 with the ability to expand to 2,310 spectators, flex space for events like convocations, dressing rooms, a double gym that will be the primary training centre for the men’s and women’s Huskies hockey teams, and new locker room space for the Huskies soccer teams, among other amenities.

Mayoral Forum: Candidates get the final say

e are pleased to be working with the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce on a project involving the four candidates in the running to be the mayor of Saskatoon. Candidates provided a short biography and answered four questions provided to them by the Chamber. This is the final instalment of the feature. We thank the Chamber for leading this project and the candidates for participating. — Editor Don Atchison Question: Our chamber advocates for improved productivity and efficiency in our municipal government. What are your plans to keep the costs to taxpayers manageable while improving civic services?

Atchison: First, I want to recognize the hard work of the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce and in particular executive director Kent Smith-Windsor. It was Kent who brought the concept of efficiency reports to my attention. The latest report from the city administration records efficiencies of more than $183 million in 2015. Continuous improvements must be ingrained in the culture of the corporation. Saskatoon is the only city in Canada that reports out every year on the savings and efficiencies realized.

For years I have advocated for a system in which you call one number at city hall for everything. It is called the 311 system. If you have a concern or issue, dial 311. Your call will get a file number and be followed through the system until it is resolved. The DC101704 Darlene

same number could be used for citizens who have great ideas about improving city services. This makes sense.

Question: If elected, what would you most like to accomplish for the citizens of Saskatoon during your term as mayor?

Atchison: I believe Saskatoon needs to be a balanced city. What I mean by that is balanced growth on the west and east ends of the city. We are making progress, but I want to make sure the economic opportunities are spread across the city. There is new retail development in Blairmore and the Kensington neighbourhood is home to a lot of families. Brighton in the east is underway.

I want to make sure the business climate is strong and healthy. We need more sports and recreation facilities all over the city; everything from track and field to pickle ball courts and playgrounds. Every playground should have special needs equipment. Let’s keep Saskatoon working.

Kelley Moore Question: Our chamber advocates for improved productivity and efficiency in our municipal government. What are your plans to keep the costs to taxpayers manageable while improving civic services?

Moore: Better project planning, management, costing and accounting with regular updates to the community to ensure accountability is a priority for me. We do not have a clear picture of our financials as they now stand and that makes planning efficiently very difficult. We need improved perfor-

mance indicators that measure our efficiency and productivity that are shared with our community regularly. I will champion streamlined business processes that improve service throughout city hall. Engaging community through an increased voice via neighbourhood associations, business groups, social media, Q & A, and other communication channels where citizens come up with ideas and solutions, will help us understand our needs and expectations for excellent civic services. Increased involvement of citizens on the police commission and other committees will create a better two-way connection with community, meaning more value for citizens. Citizens must be at the centre of our decision making. I will also work with other levels of government to take pressure off the municipal tax base. Examples to consider are new sharing arrangements for the gas and sales taxes already collected by the provincial governments.

Question: If elected, what would you most like to accomplish for the citizens of Saskatoon during your term as mayor?

Moore: 1) A city hall that is known for great service — business/resident friendly, financially accountable, improved project management, regular and quality road maintenance. 2) A city that is one of the safest in Canada achieved through collaborative work to address the root causes of crime.

3) Sustainable planning and infrastructure investment that ensures our capital projects enhance, and do not burden, future generations of tax payers. Planning that implements best practices to provide excellent livability, live-work environments, and connectedness, through a variety of transportation options.

5) A city that has open and active channels of communication and engagement with citizens.



Charlie Clark Question: Our chamber advocates for improved productivity and efficiency in our municipal government. What are your plans to keep the costs to taxpayers manageable while improving civic services?

Clark: I have long pressed for a culture of service at city hall — a citizens-first agenda that makes services more responsive and convenient. That means using emerging technologies more effectively, so that citizens can monitor utility usage and have problems addressed online. It means employing truck-mounted sensing technology that can diagnose road and buried infrastructure problems before they break down.

It means creating more cross-departmental innovation teams to replicate the success of our street sweeping program, which now completes its work a full month earlier.

But there are limits to what we can accomplish if we concentrate all growth on the perimeter. Balanced growth is by far the best route to increased efficiency. Just as businesses have to make maximum use of their capital to succeed, cities also have to get the most value out of existing infrastructure. Balanced growth will yield a half-billion dollar dividend, some of which should be spent on revitalizing existing neighbourhoods.

Balanced growth, a culture of service, and building on early successes – these are the foundations of a win-win scenario where services improve without major new taxes.

(Continued from page 14) Question: If elected, what would you most like to accomplish for the citizens of Saskatoon during your term as mayor?

Clark: One of my goals is to be the mayor who set the stage for a thriving and efficient city. We can build through more balanced growth. That’s the key to more choice about where to live and work and how to move around, to better services without major tax increases. My second goal is to make Saskatoon a model city that is inclusive and unified. We can solve problems by bringing the best of our diverse ideas to the table. I have proven experience in doing this as a councillor, with projects like the Broadway 360 plan and the Plan to End Homelessness. A city that creates opportunities for all is a city that thrives.

Devon Hein Question: Our chamber advocates for improved productivity and efficiency in our municipal government. What are your plans to keep the costs to taxpayers manageable while improving civic services?

Hein: By focusing city hall resources on roads, crime and zero tax increases, improvements to efficiency and productivity are achievable. The current problem of mismanagement, over-spending and over-regulation of business are all draining valuable resources from our municipal government and creating huge debt,

AS101710 Aaron

including $57 million last year. While Don Atchison and Charlie Clark blame each other for mismanagement and overspending, I am advocating shelving Clark, Atchison, and Moore’s expensive future pet projects the same way as the business community and residents shelved Atchison’s plan to force taxpayers to fund a $100-million dome over Saskatoon. The timing just isn’t right (for these projects) and the effect of further taxpayer resource diversion is unwarranted. By holding the line on taxes, our city can protect residents from huge increases to their rent (think $50/month increase every year), condo fees and property taxes. I would represent a voter mandate at city hall of action on roads and maintenance, addressing the growing crime problem, and zero tax increases. My opponents would increase debt, waste, disorganization and cause a minimum of 20 per cent increase to property taxes over the next four years with their “visions” for Saskatoon — none of which involve residents’ interests.

Question: If elected, what would you most like to accomplish for the citizens of Saskatoon during your term as mayor?

Hein: I think the best accomplishment here would be taking voters’ and residents’ mandate to city hall, and that mandate would be respected and define and chart the course of city hall to take action on roads, address the growing crime problem and hold the line on taxes. A vote for my opponents, on the other hand, is a vote for their expensive pet projects and will only result in large tax increases and debt, while roads continue to fall apart and crime continues to grow.

Saskatoon Express n a large room at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Saskatoon, a group of local women have been using sewing machines to impact lives across the globe, as well as here at home.

Every two to three years, the Grassland Quilters, well-known for their work sewing dresses and clothes for orphaned children in South America, hold a quilt show and tea for the general public.

This year their show will be held Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ebenezer Church (107 McWillie Avenue).

The group has taken on a special project this year and wants to share it.

Donna Herman, a Grassland member, describes being inspired by attending a workshop held by Martha Cole, a Saskatchewan fibre artist.

“Martha and several other women had created a project which they called ‘All Beings Confluence,’” she said.

“The women had painted sheer curtain panels with each depicting a being. They then hung the panels so the viewers could walk through the panels, noticing the beautiful beings, feeling the texture of the panels on their skin and perhaps realizing that all things in the universe are connected.”

She says she found the experience breathtaking, and wanted to do something similar with her group in Saskatoon.

“Since we are quilt artists, we decided to lend our own interpretation to this theme,” said Herman. “We have spent considerable time on this project, hanging the panels at the entrance to our quilt show. We hope that you will experience the pleasure of the panels and the rest of our quilt show and tea.”

Admission to the show is $5.

“We have a serious obligation to vote…. Our citizenship was won for us… in some cases by suffering and martyrdom.”

So Chase did. For nearly fours years, Chase helped Ice Guardians executive producer Adam Scorgie bring this story to the big screen. Ice Guardians was written and directed by Brett Harvey.

“We are paying homage to part of our history,” Chase said. “A lot of these (enforcers) were forgotten over time. We want them to be heard.”

Chase says the deaths of former enforcers such as fellow Saskatoon Blade Wade Belak, Derek Boogaard and Rick Rypien cast a dark shadow over the enforcer role NHL teams employed for many years.

“That wasn’t fair to us,” Chase said, adding everyone in any walk of life has difficulties to overcome at some point.

Some of the players featured in Ice Guardians include Dave (The Hammer) Schultz from the Broad Street Bully days of the Philadelphia Flyers, Gino Odjick of the Vancouver Canucks and a host of other players with Saskatchewan ties including Clark Gillies, Dave Brown, Wendel Clark and Joey Kocur.

Kocur will be with Chase at the premiere showing of Ice Guardians on Oct. 24 in Saskatoon at the Remai Arts Centre. By the way, Chase turns 49 the day after the premiere.

“For me, I’m really proud of this thing,” Chase said. “I think there’s some good things people who watch will take from it and think about.”

Special VIP tickets are for sale for $100 and include a special reception with Chase, Kocur and others; appetizers and two beverages, the viewing of Ice Guardians, a Q & A session after the documentary as well as admission to an after-party at Milestones. The VIP reception begins at 5 p.m.

General tickets to the premiere are $45 and include the viewing, the Q & A session and after-party. The movie begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at http://persephonetheatre.org/stages/events.

Saskatoon Land has Lots for every lifestyle!

I

t may come as a surprise to some that the City of Saskatoon has been in the business of developing and selling land for almost a hundred years. While it started out as a mechanism to liquidate land seized for tax purposes, in 1954, City Council formalized its involvement in the land development business by actively acquiring land for future development.

Today this business, wholly owned by the City, is called Saskatoon Land.

“This land-banking function was unique among municipalities at that time and continues to be one of the more extensive operations of its type,” said Frank Long, director of Saskatoon Land. “Since the 1950s, the City has played a significant role in developing Saskatoon communities, and more recently, supplying serviced industrial land to accommodate growth in Saskatoon’s vibrant business community and local economy.”

Long says that the Saskatoon Land team takes pride in building innovative communities that provide valued amenities, enhanced quality of life, community identity, and lasting value to the investors and families that choose Saskatoon Land developments.

Saskatoon Land also runs an Incentive Program, which can provide financing,

JW101708 James

cash back, and green incentives to purchasers of lots in neighborhoods developed by Saskatoon Land. In addition, right now Saskatoon Land is offering a limited time incentive offer for the purchase of single family lots in Kensington, Evergreen, Aspen Ridge, Rosewood, Hampton Village and Parkridge Extension, including zero percent financing on lots for the first eight months, and five per cent financing after that up to twelve months, with no additional deposit required. Lot purchases made throughout 2016 in the above noted communities will also qualify for cash back rebates of up to $8,000 for front yard landscaping and front driveway surfacing.

“A wide variety of new home choices that accommodate many different lifestyles are available in Kensington, Evergreen, Aspen Ridge and the Parkridge Extension,” said Long. “These new master-planned communities are some of the city’s most sustainably designed neighborhoods, which include a wide range of desirable amenities.”

He cites the example of the Evergreen neighborhood, where finishing touches are being applied to the landscaping on the green bridge overarching McOrmond Drive.

Maximize your basement’s potential

f today’s real estate market has you frazzled, a home renovation project may be just the right answer. With home prices on the rise, finishing a basement is the latest trend towards building even more equity in the home.

A finished basement can offer a little extra room and give a growing family space to breathe, and with so many uses, a renovated basement may be exactly what your home is missing. It can provide additional storage, a sound-proofed media room, craft room, guest room, or income suite. The possibilities are endless. Here

are some tips on how to give your basement a 180-degree makeover: Waterproof it. Check the interior foundation and floors to make sure there are no existing moisture issues, water damage or mold problems. Address any primary moisture issues before finishing the space.

Examine grading to ensure water runs away from your foundation.

Soundproof it. Installing acoustic insulation is the perfect excuse to crank up the subwoofer, host a get-together or let the kids run wild.

(Continued from page 18) oundproofing is the ultimate solution to maximize your basement’s peace, quiet and privacy. Industry experts suggest using Roxul Safe n’ Sound, which effectively absorbs sound and is easy to work with.

Add or replace flooring. Installing a new floor can improve the overall comfort level and look of your basement. Vinyl, laminate, ceramic tile, and engineered hardwood are great options. Say no to carpet, which can harbor mold and allergens, particularly in the basement, and don’t forget to lay a subfloor.

Add color. Transform the dull and boring space into an inviting oasis or a colorful playroom with a simple coat of paint. If your basement has low ceilings or limited natural light, choose lighter, warmer tones to brighten the space. To add some drama, consider adding depth and visual interest to your space with a different colored accent wall.

Accessorize it. Throw pillows, rugs, lighting, and artwork are simple additions that can immediately enhance or change your basement’s look and feel. Pot lights can modernize, while artwork and throw pillows can add a splash of color. Accessories are really an opportunity to make it your own and let your personality shine through. They also provide an inexpensive way to keep your space looking fresh Aaron from year to year.

Reclaimed wood adds instant appeal to home projects

R

epurposing salvaged wood is a popular trend in the home improvement industry. Not only can using salvaged wood give a home a one-of-a-kind look, but it’s a handy way to incorporate the three Rs of green living into your lifestyle: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reclaimed wood is often used in flooring, beams, wall treatments, and doors, but it also can be turned into furniture or home accent items. Reclaimed wood adds warmth and historical interest to a home’s decor that newer materials may lack. Although finding wood that can be salvaged takes time and some legwork, such efforts can quickly pay off. Many businesses are now devoted to reclaimed timber, which can help make the process of finding and using salvaged wood even easier.

Homeowners considering reclaimed wood may be interested to learn that such wood can serve various functions

aside from benefitting the planet.

• Match old-growth wood. New regulations may prevent certain species of trees from being cut down. That means it can be challenging to match old wood in a home, particularly if you’re looking to maintain historical value and authenticity. Relying on salvaged wood items can alleviate this concern, ensuring that you can find rare woods that are no longer available brand new.

• Salvaged wood has character. It’s difficult to mimic the natural age marks and character that older wood may have.

Instead of being raised on farms, wood harvested decades ago probably grew in natural environments, making the wood both durable and strong. The color and grain of salvaged wood may also be unique.

• Look at objects in a new way.

Doors are versatile pieces of reclaimed lumber because they’re already flat and rather large. Doors can

be turned into headboards, tables or benches. Staircase or porch posts can be turned into candlestick holders, and wood shutters can dress up walls and provide a place to hang artwork and other wall items.

• Reclaimed wood can be found everywhere. Most people do not have to look too far to find wood they can salvage. Check salvage yards, landfills, dumpsters in front of older homes being renovated, or older, unused barns in rural settings. You also can collect driftwood or discarded shipping crates.

While some reclaimed wood can be used as-is, some pieces may require millwork, including sanding, cutting, shaping, and finishing. If you do not have these skills, you probably will have to hire someone who does.

The Internet is awash with ideas for putting salvaged wood to use. Get inspired and then find the pieces that will fit your project.

“I’m always more than willing to talk to people and provide them with a background and information about the type of work I do. And I know there will be many other artists at the show that are the same,” he said.

“I entered my first show and competition in 1999 and have been entering the Reflections of Nature and many other Canadian and international shows ever since. A real highlight was being awarded third best of show in the intermediate division at the world championships in Ocean City, Maryland in 2015.”

Unger will have a number of examples of his work at this year’s show, with some older pieces, including his first, to his most recent pieces including the world championship entry.

“From the time I was old enough to walk I was out bird watching,” said Unger. “I also come from a background of woodworkers, so I think it turns out it’s a perfect fit for me.”

Unger encourages everyone to come out and enjoy the show, citing the social aspect as one of its prime benefits.

“I would say for anyone interested in wood carving, as well as any other art form, the challenges are endless,” he said. “The people you will meet along the way are some of the nicest you’ll ever meet. It’s a great way to keep your hands and mind occupied.”

Toyota Sienna:

everything you need in a minivan

T

his is the time of all wheel drive (AWD), and pretty much every popular van is adding it to the option list.

Except Toyota, that is. The automaker’s Sienna has had AWD as an option since 2003.

For 2016, AWD can be added to the LE and XLE trim levels.

Introduced originally as a minivan, the Autozone Sienna has grown with the market while improving in every aspect. Seven passengers are still a bit of a squeeze, and it does reduce luggage capacity significantly. Unless you run an airport limousine business, that shouldn’t be a big deal as there is still enough room in the back for backpacks and the stuff kids need for school.

If you fold that third row of seats down, cargo space increases exponentially. A family of five could go tent camping for a week or more in the Si-

Sitting in the seats turned up several interesting points. Getting into the third row for genuine old farts can be a bit challenging. Reserve this space for those who are agile. Second-row seating is quite comfortable for all sizes from baby seats on up. The front buckets are very

comfortable and are reserved for those who make the payments.

The seat on the front left has a few extra bits and is arguably the best seat in the van — personal prejudice. It took longer to get my phone to pair up with the Sienna’s Bluetooth™ system and set up the stereo than it did to get a comfortable driving position. Once I was set, I took a look around and the premium

leather interior, while comfortable, was understated. That seems to be the Toyota way.

My only gripe with Sienna is that the power adjustments on the passenger side do not match up with those on the driver’s side. In my mind, the passenger seat should have the same power adjustments and range as the driver’s seat.

Sienna nimble, quiet, responsive

P

(Continued from page 21) erhaps Toyota isn’t managing my expectations as well as it could, but this is an important feature in my household.

Where my expectations are well managed is under the hood. A 3.5-litre V6 with 266 horsepower, 245 ft.lb. of torque and variable valve timing, hooked up to a six-speed automatic and AWD is a recipe for fun driving in pretty much all weather.

Toyota even makes rubber floor mats for winter or foul weather. For the boulevard set, there are plush mats that can be ordered as well.

There are two ways to drive the Sienna. One is with my side-seat cruise control present and that means studious good behaviour.

The other is to push it. Due to the height of the van, hard cornering makes you feel like there is lots of

body sway. In addition, the seats are meant for comfort, not cornering, so you do tend to move about a bit in the seat.

Getting groceries or just shopping generally meant that smooth was the order of the day and the Sienna responded with the groceries not sliding about while making lane changes in the cut and thrust of city traffic. As an aside, the sliding doors used on the Sienna were great in parking lots where the doofus that comes in beside you believes that the yellow line is a guide line for the left front tire.

Going out on the highway or even on Circle Drive, the Sienna was nimble, quiet and responsive. As with most other vehicles, you can push hard enough to make the front slide, but it is a lot tougher in the Sienna due to the Stars Safety system. The system includes traction control,

stability control and ABS as well as other activities. If the nose comes out, the stability program will do its best to get you back on line and it does a good job.

The Sienna may be one of the plainer-looking vans on the market, but it is certainly one of the bestequipped. The XLT brings you everything from run flat tires, dimming mirrors and puddle lamps when you open the doors to SMS-to-speech and email-to-speech, as well as satellite radio and SIRI Eyes Free.

Sienna is definitely worth taking for a test drive if you are in the van market. If you aren’t, you should test one anyway. You will be surprised at how well it does everything you need.

The Sienna has room to spare (Photo Supplied)

Winter tires make an ‘amazing’ difference on snow through friends’ recommendations, at your vehicle dealership, or rely on the advice from your local tire stores. After some serious consideration, you may have narrowed it down to just a few choices, but then how do you choose?

Lowest price isn’t the best way, as sometimes only a few dollars a tire can mean the difference between pleasant motoring and a vehicle that handles poorly.

I attended a Bridgestone training event, where tire store employees receive information on new tire developments and get to experience the differences between tires by testing them on a handling course.

Chris Welty, tire education specialist for Bridgestone, explained that there may be five different Bridgestone tires for your particular vehicle, depending on your driving preferences. Perhaps you want maximum fuel economy, or long tire life, or wet weather grip, or a quiet ride. Maybe crisp steering response is your preference. There Jim Kerr is no one tire that has all these characterAutoZone istics, although through tire research and hopping for new tires can be a daunt- development the compromises are getting ing task. There are many manufacsmaller. turers and each has numerous types Welty said tire technology can be comof tires. And then there are the multiple pared to computer technology. A solution sizes. that is five years old has much less perSS101702 James your choices online, formance than something new. To provide You can research

S

the newest tire technology, Bridgestone has spent US$912 million on research and development for the 2013 year (the last full year recorded), more than three of the top five manufacturers combined, and over $1 billion a year in preceding years.

At the Bridgestone training, I learned about many tires, including those best for winter driving. Blizzak has become a wellknown name, with the first Blizzak winter tire introduced back in 1992. That Blizzak tire is nothing compared to the current generation. Bridgestone makes different model Blizzak tires for luxury cars, light trucks and SUVs, commercial vehicles and for general passenger car and minivan use.

For general passenger car use, the Blizzak WS80 replaces the previous WS70, and there are significant improvements even in just one year. The WS80 has 20 per cent more block edges for better grip on ice. The new tread design will pack in 10 per cent more snow, which improves the grip on snow. As Welty explained, “snow sticks to snow,” so if you can retain snow in the tire grooves, you actually have better traction on snow.

Many of the changes in the tire cannot be seen and have to be driven to experience. One of the changes is new rubber chemistry with more silica in the rubber content. This helps traction by keeping the rubber flexible as temperatures drop, but it isn’t as easy as just adding more silica in the mixing pot.

Silica molecules tend to clump together, so Bridgestone research has developed a method of keeping the silica content spread throughout the tread material. Flexible rubber at low temperatures allows it to conform to the road or ice surface for better grip but it makes handling feel less precise, so the sipes (small cuts in the tire tread) are made with a 3-D zigzag pattern so they support each other as cornering loads increase. This gives better steering response.

Inside the rubber compound, small multi-cells are formed to remove water from between an icy surface and the tread rubber. Water on ice creates some of the slipperiest driving conditions, and Bridgestone research has developed a hydrophilic coating (it loves water!) for the multi-cells so they can trap water better. You won’t see the multi-cells on a new tire as the cells are inside the tread compound, so it takes a little tire wear for the multi-cells to have full effect. A new micro-texture tread surface provides initial ice grip until the micro-cells can provide full benefit.

For those who haven’t driven on winter tires, the improvement in cold weather traction is amazing. All-season and allweather tires may work in the southern parts of the continent, but in Canada, winter tires provide a huge traction advantage, and according to Welty, you should be installing them “as soon as you can see your breath in the air.” But it is never too late to benefit from their traction.
