Pat Lorje

Civic politics shouldn’t be partisan

art Lorje is worried that partisan politics will soon hold a deeper influence on municipal elections and decisions. “Partisan politics is happening in cities all across Canada,” said Lorje, “and I see it growing momentum in Saskatoon, too. If that happens, Saskatoon won’t be well-served. I believe councillors should have DC041025 Darlene

independence of thought and work for the people in the wards they represent.” Lorje is an experienced hand at politics. She was first elected as a Saskatoon city councillor in 1979 and stayed until 1991. She then entered provincial politics and won the Wildwood constituency for the NDP in 1991 and won the renamed Southeast constituency again in 1995. She re-entered civic politics in 2006

and held the Ward 2 post from 2006 until a somewhat surprising upset in the October 2016 election. “I was disappointed and partly, but not entirely, surprised by the results,” said Lorje. “I was told three or four months before the election by an NDP MLA that I shouldn’t count on the support of all the voters I had in the previous election. That told me that some of the NDP supporters I once had were going to vote for someone else. And they did. Some said I was too fo-

cused on supporting my own Montgomery Place neighbourhood, but I don’t buy that. I led the move to get the transit bus barns moved out of Caswell to the outskirts of the city.” Hilary Gough, new to the campaign trail, won the seat with 2,437 votes. Lorje was second with 2,298 votes. “I have always believed when it came to city hall, we park our partisan politics at the door. We’ve had municipal politicians before who ran provincially or federally. (Continued on page 4)

WHY AM I ATTRACTED TO NARCISSISTS?

Dear Lianne, It happened again. I met the most charming man. He seemed like everything I ever was looking for. He was attentive , charismatic, and every girl’s dream. All of a sudden my Mr. Wonderful has turned into someone that I don’t even know. He used to compliment me all the time and encourage me. He then started criticizing me continuously. Eventually he just stopped talking to me. I have no idea what I did wrong but he is not the first guy like this. I give up on picking men. Please help me find a good one. Debbie

Dear Debbie, We all have been there in some capacity or another. We meet someone and are absolutely enthralled by them. You feel as if you have won the love lottery and then the bottom falls out of the relationship. If you are meeting actual narcissists, their personalities will draw you in and once they have you the destruction process starts without you even realizing it. People are left totally shocked because they have been manipulated by the master of all masters. Their self esteem is often shattered. I would encourage you to read up on narcissists and learn about the warning signs. Seek out counselling to rebuild what has been damaged. Relationships are meant to grow step by step as is the attraction. Instant WOW most often ends in terrible disappointment. You have had roller coaster relationships and normal will seem boring to you until you do work on yourself. Once you are ready for a healthy relationship call me at 306 978-LOVE (5683) We will help you break patterns and meet the right man.

We are going to make sure it is a safe area for everybody to enjoy.” Morency said it is a good time to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the 75th anniversary of Dieppe Raid and Canada’s 150th birthday all in one weekend. He said both days will begin with a tribute parade to those in the military and to first responders. Morency said there is a possibility of two First World War planes conducting a dog-fight in the air. Think Red Baron, the major said with a laugh when asked to explain a dogfight. He said it would be great if vehicle rides can be provided, but wasn’t yet sure if that would be possible. “That’s not always an easy one with everything going on in the world,” he said. Morency said there is the possibility of seeing weapons used in combat, and definitely the chance to meet military people.

Lorje entered politics to see if she could help people (Continued from page 1) But when it came to city matters, they worked independently and worked for the good of the city,” said Lorje. “In this last election, there was massive involvement of a political party. I question the way that any organization, can get overly involved in some of the areas of the election.” Lorje’s last term on city council was a challenging one. “We had a city council where five of its members were centre and left, five others were centre and right. I considered myself an independent. I was in between. No one was ever sure how I was going to vote. I took pride in the fact that I listened intently to the speakers who came to council meetings and based my judgment on what I heard. That’s how city council should play out.” It was Lorje’s social consciousness, a need for political and economic change, and a desire to eliminate some gross inequalities in North American life that led to her decision to be politically involved. The first sign of consciousness came from poverty in her early days. Her father, Rod Wilkening, had been an RCAF officer, flying many missions over Europe during the Second World War. He came home to Eastend and couldn’t find a job. He re-enlisted and was about to be shipped out to the Korean War when he was killed in a car accident. “That left my mother (Phyllis) with four young children. We were poor and we returned to her hometown of Caron. At that time, if you were on welfare, JW041001 James people expected you to help in the com-

munity. I’d often go to a neighbouring farm, milk cows and churn butter. “As I grew older, I wouldn’t have been able to get a masters in psychology at the University of Saskatchewan if I hadn’t won a governor general’s scholarship.” Later, Lorje was living in Holland where she was married to Ted, her first husband. Ted had health problems because of the pollution in Rotterdam. They returned to Saskatoon where he died of cancer on Feb. 14, 1986. “One of the first things I saw when I came back to Saskatoon was a homeless man rummaging through a garbage can. I was appalled. I decided to enter politics and see if I could help people.” She wanted to run for the NDP in the looming 1979 provincial election, but Premier Alan Blakeney called the election a year early and Lorje wasn’t prepared. She turned to civic politics. When George Dyck resigned from council in 1979, she won Ward 2 by 200 votes. She won again in 1982, 1985 and 1988. In one election, she led the polls in popular votes, even beating the numbers Henry Dayday gained while being elected mayor. By 1991, she was ready to try provincial politics and won twice. She found a big difference between civic and provincial politics. “At the provincial level, you are farther away from the people. What I always liked about city council was my ability to help people negotiate through the labyrinth of City Hall and get things done for them. (Continued on page 5)

(Continued from page 4) eing in the Saskatchewan (legislative) assembly was more like being in political theatre than serving the people. I didn’t like the idea that the boys in the backroom controlled everything and always told you how to vote.” Nevertheless, Lorje was pleased with two accomplishments. As an MLA, she wrote a report that became the basis for what is the provincial government’s immigration policy. As minister of Aboriginal Affairs, she was the first minister to visit every First Nation in the province. By 2006, she was back in civic politics. In her 22 years as a councillor, there were many highlights. Moving the bus barns out of Caswell was an important focus as was changing the sound

wall policy on many thoroughfares. She enjoyed the experience of the 1989 Jeux Canada Summer Games, particularly with the legacy of facilities the Summer Games left behind. One of the disappointments was the decision to build Saskatchewan Place in the north end in 1988, given she had been a strong voice for a downtown location. Lorje has lived in Montgomery Place since 1979 and is married to Tom Bentley-Fisher, renowned in Saskatoon and globally for his work as an artistic director and playwright. For the moment, she does some consulting work, is active with the local community association and if the occasion ever arose where a civic byelection was called, “I’d be a candidate in a moment.”

At Crossmount we believe we have many treasures. First of all, the beauty of this place is a treasure in itself and we find people treasure the moments they spend here. However, there are even more treasures to be found. We are referring to our staff and residents, all of whom are gems in their own right. One of our wonderful treasures is Connie Miller. During the summer you will find her working tirelessly in The Glen area and wedding garden, keeping this space breathtakingly beautiful. During the winter, she keeps busy in our greenhouse preparing seedlings for transplant and lovingly caring for and tending an array of lush plants. The greenhouse is open to the public. Stop by and meet Connie. Grab a cup of coffee or tea from the Apple Crate Café and chat with Connie about the assortment of plants in our greenhouse. Breathe deeply the earth scented air and enjoy a few moments of bliss in this relaxing and bright space. You may discover a few treasures of your own during your visit.

we’re so focused on ourselves that we go nuts. It’s the remarkable human being who casts his or her comfort entirely aside, and lurches toward the madness in other people’s lives in an effort to help. I guess we call them heroes. If I were a better person, who would I want to be? It’s amazing how many heroes have other, less admirable sides, which makes you really have to think about who you admire, and who you’d like to emulate. If you Google “heroes of history,” you get many, many lists, including those of scientists like Galileo, Albert Einstein, Jonas Salk and Louis Pasteur. My question is whether some of these scientists are heroic because of their scientific drive, or merely amazing people who solved fascinating TA041037 Tammy questions or health problems? Do heroes

need to be brave as well as bright? Then there are the lists of politicians, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States, and, elsewhere, Napoleon Bonaparte (hmmm), Nelson Mandela, Queen Victoria and Alexander the Great. Of those, I’d likely give Mandela the title. Just being famous or belonging to royalty or starting a country doesn’t necessarily qualify you for hero-dom. Maybe Washington and Roosevelt qualify. One list I saw contained J.K. Rowling. I like Harry Potter, and she was a smart, desperate single mom trying to make a living when she was first writing her books; but heroic? Same thing goes for Mark Twain. Fab guy, but was he a hero? Possibly, for his depiction of African-Americans and how they were treated. (Continued on page 7)

These Internet lists may mean ‘hero’ in the way that we say “he’s my hero’ of whatever realm, in the way we say, “I love that fashion-song-food-baseball player” when we really mean “I admire that person/would enjoy wearing that dress.” What is a hero, then? I can name a couple who, to me, are true heroes: people who stuck their hearts and heads into great danger of some kind, for the betterment if not outright rescue of others. Martin Luther King Jr., shot for his colossal contribution to human rights. The brave Rosa Parks, who resisted segregation on a bus. Mandela, who somehow survived jail and returned to fight apartheid. Back in Canada, Terry Fox. Without a doubt. He put the fight against cancer where we all live.

yard, which stinks to high heaven once the sun hits it. Big dogs are loud, and heaven knows they can carry disease. Okay, not quite, but at least a nasty case of fleas. Last week Ward 1 Coun. Zach Jeffries noted that the sun continues to rise after years of food trucks hitting the streets of Saskatoon. You’ll remember that local restaurateurs hollered and howled in an effort to keep the trucks off the streets, and out of competition with their establishments. Today, the good restaurants are still around, and the bad ones are shuttered, for reasons that have nothing to do with food trucks. It’s too bad city council can’t apply that same mentality to other simple projects, like these silly chickens. ***** Credit where it’s due: the Saskatoon Public School Division deserves huge props for the system it has in place for critical emergencies impacting its schools. My kid’s school was a target recently of those ridiculous white powder envelopes that have been delivered all over Saskatoon, prompting an evacuation. Frankly, the whole thing was an extremely pleasant experience. The time that elapsed from the moment IAS041016 got the first Aaron recorded call advising me

of the situation, to the moment I had my kid in my car on our way home, was 45 minutes (and I live across town from my kid’s school). There were no games, no playing coy about what was going on. The initial recorded message from SPSD laid out clearly that there was a white-powder incident, the kids had been evacuated safely, and I would receive a second call shortly advising where to pick mine up. Within moments of receiving the call, I got an email with the same message. As promised, I quickly received another message advising of the pick-up spot, which was only a couple of blocks away from the school. I went in, found my kid, signed him out, and was on my way. Admittedly, the fact that from the outset I was 99.9 per cent certain that it was just another asinine envelope full of ground up Tums, or whatever the powder choice du jour is lately, made the whole thing a lot easier to experience. There was never any danger, and the kids clearly sensed that fact. However, it’s comforting to know that in the event there ever is danger, God forbid, the public school division clearly has an efficient and safe process in place to handle it.

of that founding group, and it honestly was just those two gals kind of shouldertapping other women in the music scene that they thought might be interested,” said Adams. Since then, Girls Rock Camp Saskatoon has grown. This year, the camps will be held from July 10 to July 14, with the final showcase on July 15, and July 17 to July 21, with the final showcase to be held on July 22. In an effort to broaden its registrant base this year, Girls Rock Camp Saskatoon will be based out of Mayfair United Church instead of its previous Nutana location. Adams said moving the program to a different area of the city may help attract new campers, families, and volunteers. Adams speaks passionately about the “power of mentorship and music.” She said she sees a noticeable difference in the campers from the beginning of the week to the end of the week. “It is absolutely incredible the infusion of self-confidence that I see campers experience over the course of the week,” she said. The money raised at the April 18 show will support Girls Rock Camp Saskatoon, a weeklong youth program. “They all come to camp — most of (Photo by Stephanie Hall of Retrospective Photography) them — strangers to each other, most of them with limited to no musical experience whatsoever.

More in store for Persephone’s 2017-2018 season Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express ersephone Theatre’s upcoming season is going to be one of its largest ever, says the theatre’s artistic director. “It’s just chock full of great things,” Del Surjik said in an interview. Persephone has billed the 2017-2018 season as “ambitious,” noting the season will feature an expanded lineup of plays on the main stage that includes two bonus productions, as well as the return of its popular three-show Deep End programming. The new season opens with Art by Yasmina Reza. Set to run from Sept. 13 – Sept. 27, 2017, Persephone describes Art as a “witty incisive dialogue about modern art and modern friendship.” Following Art is: the world premiere of Quick Bright Things, “a touching, hilarious and authentic look at family and mental illness”; Treasure Island, “a glorious adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel and perfect holiday entertainment”; Butcher, “an edge-of-your-seat thriller”; Onegin, “a hip and romantic new musical”; and Pride and Prejudice, “a lavish and elegant stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s most beloved romantic comedy,” which will run from May 2 to May 16, 2018, to wrap up the season. The main stage bonus productions include Boom, scheduled for Aug. 8 to Aug. 20, 2017, and the world premiere of Gabriel Dumont’s Wild West Show, which will run from Feb. 27 to March 4, 2018. Written, directed and performed by Rick Miller, Boom is a one-person show that explores the music, culture and politics that shaped the Baby Boom generation. Gabriel Dumont’s Wild West Show is co-presented with Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre (GTNT) and La Troupe du Jour, and was written by Jean Marc Dalpé, David Granger, Laura Lussier, Alexis Martin, Andrea Ménard, Yvette Nolan, Gilles Poulin-Denis, Paula-Jean Prudat, Mansel Robinson and

Kenneth T. Williams. In addition, there will also be three Deep End shows in the new season: Fish Eyes, presented by Nightswimming Theatre in Toronto; three staged readings of The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui; and Home is a Beautiful Word, which was collected and edited by local playwright and journalist Joel Bernbaum, who travelled to Victoria, B.C., to interview people in an effort to create a portrait of homelessness. Persephone Theatre will present Home is a Beautiful Word in association with Sum Theatre and the Broadway Theatre. There’s also something for the kids. The Persephone 2017-2018 Youth Series will include three shows – Old Man and the River, Tetris and Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny – while the 2018 Persephone Youth Tour will feature Beneath the Ice, to be directed by Curtis Peeteetuce. Surjik said the 2017-2018 season was expanded because there “are a number of things to commemorate in the upcoming season.” “I felt like we should be doing something to recognize the 150 years that Canada has been a nation,” he said. “We wanted to do special things to mark the fact that we will be celebrating our own anniversary of being 10 years in the (Remai Arts Centre) building – 10 years already; I’m going, ‘Wow. How did that happen?’ – and also the imminent opening sometime during our season of the Remai Modern.” Surjik said the hiatus of the Deep End Series was to last only for one season – Persephone’s current 2016-2017 season – and he wanted to “get that back into the mix as soon as possible.” Audience members provided feedback that they wanted the Deep End Series to return, he said, noting a lot of the Main Stage show attendees add the Deep End shows “to their theatre consumption.” “So they really miss that. We had patrons, we had theatre artists, say it was Tickets - $25 and $35. Rick Kroener plays guitar, Jeremy A.

It adds to our capacity to really mix up the offerings in the season as well. I can experiment a bit there. We can try out more emerging artists or any number of things.” Surjik said the upcoming season features variety, including humour, entertainment and drama. The most challenging play of the season will be Butcher, which he described as a “tough piece of work” about the “inherited cycle of hatred.” Surjik said putting together a season “is probably the biggest task that’s laid at the feet of the artistic director.” “It’s continuous. It’s always going on, so even while I was planning this season, I’m planning the season past it,” he said “For me, I look at the plays as a conversation with an audience, so I reflect on what we’ve talked about in the past, what people have been seeing, and where do we want to take those conversations. Or, do I need to change the subject, because something else is in the zeitgeist, that’s in the collective conscience?” For more information about Persephone Theatre and its upcoming season, as well as ticket and subscription information, visit persephonetheatre.org.

App another way to pay for parking

ity drivers can now pay for parking with a smartphone app named WayToPark. “The WayToPark app provides more flexibility when it comes to paying for parking,” Andrew Hildebrandt, director of community standards, said in a news release. “You can now pay for parking from the comfort of your car and extend your parking session while you’re on the go.” Drivers can pay for parking through the app by selecting the amount of time and paying directly from their phones with a credit card. “The app also contains a variety of features that allow drivers to enter and save multiple licence plate numbers, print or view receipts and view current parking sessions,” Hildebrandt said. WayToPark is available for download on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) devices. WayToPark expands drivers’ parking payment options. JW040304 FlexParking payJames stations are located at all pay parking loca-

tions throughout downtown, Broadway, Riversdale, River Landing and Sutherland areas, as well as adjacent to St. Paul’s and City hospitals. Drivers will still be able to pay for parking using the FlexParking stations where methods of payment include coins, credit card or a city parking card. WayToPark Tips: • When using the WayToPark app, enter zone 6001; • Customers are responsible for entering the correct licence plate (Bylaw 7200); • Customers must ensure they create and complete a valid pay transaction; • Customers can only park as long as the sign indicates; • Balances on a parking purchase can be carried forward to another parking space on a different block face; and • Additional parking time can be purchased, but only up to the posted maximum allowable time. For more tips and information on the WayToPark app and the FlexParking pay stations, visit saskatoon.ca/flexparking.

But as mentioned in a previous column, business does get to write off those taxes against income, whereas residential property owners do not. The difference is small business owners live in the community and pay residential taxes as well. On the other hand, many big businesses have global shareholders that do not live in the city and consequently do not pay residential taxes. They just siphon off the profits and move on to the next project, frequently in another jurisdiction. The downtown business representatives are now going back to a council committee asking for restrictions on development of commercial property. According to the report, over the boom period about 40 per cent of new office space was built in industrial areas or busi-

ness parks, while only 16 per cent located in the downtown core. They want the city to limit the development of office space outside the downtown area, and/or give priority approval to businesses wanting to build in the city centre. They also want four free parking stalls for up to 24 months. What is interesting is no one talks about why (smaller) developers are building office space away from the downtown. Could it be that potential tenants are looking to move closer to their client base? If you are a doctor, lawyer, dentist or accountant trying to build your business, doesn’t it make sense to locate your offices nearer to your clients for their convenience? (Continued on page 13)

(Continued from page 12) s it that the square footage and common area costs are lower outside the city centre, or that professional groups are building these structures for themselves? Could it be that downtown parking, with its often-problematic parking ticket machines, deters those living in the suburbs from going downtown? How about the traffic problems, made worse with the sporadic bike lanes? The reality is, if you or I have a doctor’s appointment and the doctor’s office is in a business park or strip mall, we pull into a parking area with ample space, rather than circling the block anxiously looking for a parking space and hoping we won’t be late for our appointment. We don’t have to plug a machine with $4 to $6 in loonies and toonies hoping that we have guessed at the right amount of time needed. If you need to take a taxi, given the cost of cab fares, wouldn’t you want to deal with a business closer to

home? And I note that ancillary services seem to be readily available nearby the professional services. Near the doctor’s office is a pharmacy, a radiology clinic and possibly a laboratory for blood tests. And unloading the elderly, along with wheelchairs or walkers, is far easier in these parking areas than in a downtown stall. The same goes for visits to your dentist, lawyer or accountant. What council needs is a report on what the public wants, not just what businesses want. And if council hears from businesses that they are hurting, they should listen to the pain taxpayers are suffering before giving away more concessions or imposing restrictions. I don’t know about the rest of the public, but I’m tired of subsidizing big business and spending much needed tax dollars to grow our downtown. “If you build it, they will come” may not apply in our current economic times. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Views of the World

J-Rod or A-Lo, that is the question

orben Rolfsen, on Brad Marchand being suspended two games for attempted circumcision on an opposing player: “Ironically, the Department of Player Safety has no balls.” • Methinks Rod Pedersen, the play-byplay man for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, is wearing rose-coloured glasses: “I’m comfortable forecasting a 10-win season for the Green & White.” • Janice Hough, on the presale of tickets for The Classic concert — featuring the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Journey, Earth, Wind & Fire and The Doobie Brothers — running from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.: “I wonder why there wasn’t an earlybird special.” • An important question among too many: “J-Rod or A-Lo? What should the super couple’s name be?” RJ Currie, whose fine work is on the next page, says how about Lo-Rod? • Rolfsen, on Wrestlemania: “At one point there were so many ladders on stage, I thought I was looking at a screenshot from

Donkey Kong.” • From Hough: “It might be faster and simpler at this point to list the women at Fox News that Bill O’Reilly hasn’t harassed.” • A newspaper headline after the New York Mets lost their season-opener to Atlanta: “Mets blow a save and fan 18 times in opening loss.” Oops. • From TC Chong: “The NCAA final between North Carolina and Gonzaga was a snooze fest that featured 47 fouls. One Zag fouled out early, and during that timeout the refs had their whistles re-gripped.” • I must be missing something. In his four years as the general manager of the Edmonton Eskimos, Ed Hervey had a 40-32 record, made the playoffs in three of his four years and won a Grey Cup. I’m thinking he got railroaded. • From Hough: “Apparently the entire coal mining industry in the U.S. employs fewer workers than Arby’s. And moreover, as customers know, Arby’s is a more consistent source of cheap gas.”

ball women lost after a 111-game winning streak. Whitehorse is still in shock.” • Mike Babcock, on NHL players not participating in the 2018 Olympics: “I’ll just say I am disappointed.” • NBC sent out a statement saying it is disappointed that NHL players won’t be in the Olympics. Why? Isn’t the network still broadcasting the 2014 Games? • Chong, on Dustin Johnson withdrawing from The Masters tournament due to a freak injury: “He tripped and fell down a flight of stairs in the home he rented at Augusta. ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ said Tiger Woods.” • Rolfsen, on Rob Gronkowski getting into the ring at Wrestlemania: “What? Shouldn’t he be resting his back for the party cruise?” • Hough, on five-time Olympic goldmedal swimmer Dana Vollmer, who is six months pregnant, planning to race in 50-metre freestyle next month: “I wonder if she will get to swim in the carpool lane?”

• A wtf moment from a Sportsnet talking head/writer named Eric Engels: “Auston Matthews ran away with the Calder, and you could make a strong case for his worthiness in the Hart conversation.” Lmao. • Another piece of wisdom from Engels: “Love Laine. What a player to watch. The two of them (Laine and Matthews) are the among the 10 best players in the world.” • I felt badly for Lexi Thompson, the LPGA player who got a four-stroke penalty for marking her golf ball incorrectly. In my old foursome, we would mark our balls and then move them at least two feet closer to the hole. That didn’t quite come out right, but you know what I mean. • From former Saskatoon Blade and NHLer Cory Sarich: “Another glaring example of what is wrong with the NHL playoff format. The 100-point wild-card team (gets) no reward for success/hard work.” • Hough, on Marshawn Lynch apparently planning to un-retire: “‘The first time is the hardest,’ said Brett Favre.” • From Rolfsen: “The UConn basket-

Tebow gets to second base

By RJ Currie hree reasons Kristin Cavallari posted a photo of husband Jay Cutler’s nude backside: 3. He’s still the butt of jokes; 2. His backfield was in motion; 1. A salute to the Chicago bare. • Why did Tim Tebow, after hitting a homer in his first at-bat for the Columbia Fireflies, stop at second base? a) He thought it was a ground-rule double; b) To ask for directions. • One year after Denmark played in the gold-medal game at the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship, they failed to qualify in 2017. We’re talking pruned Danish. • CBS dropped veteran NFL analyst Phil Simms from its No. 1 broadcast team in favour of newcomer Tony Romo. How’s that for irony? Romo — Prescott of the press box. • The Jets 5-4 victory over Columbus marked the club’s first six-game win streak since coming to Winnipeg. That’s the Jets for you: sprinting to the golf course.

• Coastal Carolina U suspended its cheer team over allegations of prostitution, buying minors liquor and paying others to do their homework. Welcome to the ABCs of today’s college sports: alcohol, bawdiness and cheating. • Ichiro says he wants to play in the major leagues until he’s 50. Who does he think he is? Tom Brady? • Gonzaga made it to the March Madness title game, but in the end North Carolina knocked the Bulldogs head over Tarheels. • My VW had a hissing radiator. It’s the closest thing I’ve seen to OKC point guard Russell Westbrook. • According to several sources, the 2017 N.Y. Yankees lack left-handed power. This continues a tradition of Bronx Bombers reviews dating back to 1935. Ruthless. RJ’s Groaner of the Week My wife wasn’t sure she would like levered door handles instead of traditional knobs. I told her there must be 50 ways to love your levers.

U of S receives historic gift

iaoping (Bob) Xu (MA’92) and wife Ling Chen (MA’90) have made another notable contribution to their alma mater. The internationally-recognized investor and philanthropist and his wife have donated $2 million to the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) to create the David L. Kaplan Chair in Music in the College of Arts and Science. The gift is the largest donation from alumni in the college’s history and a generous follow-up to the couple’s $1-million gift to establish the David L. Kaplan Music Scholarship in 2010. Both Xu and Chen graduated with a master’s degree in music at the U of S. Their ongoing commitment to the university stems from their appreciation for Kaplan, their former music professor and mentor. Kaplan taught at the U of S and also played several instruments, composed numerous pieces of music, and conducted

orchestras and bands, including the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra. In recognition of his influence, Kaplan became a member of the Order of Canada in 2002 and was awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2006. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 91. “He embraced us with profound love and care when we first arrived to Canada from China in the 1980s as graduate students,” Xu said in a release. “His strength of character, warmth and unconditional devotion to his students serve as the model by which we — and countless others — live our lives. The way he treated us left a deep impression on me, and I thought of him as a role model as I started my own career as a consultant for Chinese students who wanted to study overseas.” The Kaplan Chair — expected to be in place by July 2018 — will develop a strings program in the department, to assume a leading instruction role provincewide.

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express hen Sticks and Stones opens, likely this week, it will be the third Saskatoon restaurant for Ayden and Little Grouse on the Prairie owner Dale MacKay and his partners. Ayden features world cuisine; Little Grouse is modern Italian; and the new Sticks and Stones features Korean and Japanese food. “We can’t seem to stop,” said MacKay in an interview. “It’s usually around October that we get antsy and we start formulating plans and doing stuff.” MacKay, Christopher Cho and Nathan Guggenheimer, who will run the new venue, are the three culinary brains behind the Grassroots Restaurant Group,

which started the acclaimed Ayden on Third Avenue four years ago. “The city keeps supporting us, so we just keep doing it,” said MacKay. “As long as people keep coming to Ayden every day, and Little Grouse, we’ll just keep doing it. Within reason, obviously. It’s the support that everyone’s shown us. If we didn’t have that we wouldn’t even have done the second one.” “It’s the support of our staff, too,” added Cho. “We build opportunities for them too,” said MacKay. “We try to give incentives to our staff to stick around and build a career with us.” The three have been together about 11 years, as well as Jesse Zuber from Little Grouse. “Which AS041013 Aaronin this business is

amazing,” said MacKay. There were several reasons why they chose to open a restaurant featuring Asian food, starting with a very personal one. “To be honest, our favourite food to eat is probably Japanese, Korean and Thai. I’ve always used a lot of Asian flavours, and so has Nathan,” said MacKay. “We wanted to open a place where we want to go and eat. “Christopher is Korean. We were lucky enough to have his parents come over for a month. They spent two weeks with us in making kimchi and some more traditional dishes, just for us to taste and look at. We are taking things like that and putting little twists on them.” (Continued on page 17)

store front,” added Cho. “You can just go to the window and order, and pick something up. Not a lot of restaurants in the city offer that.” Also on the menu are Korean fried chicken; grilled Korean meats including marinated short ribs with soybean paste mixed with garlic and green onions; and miso-glazed pork belly with beet slaw. On the Japanese side of the menu, one of the main focuses is ramen. Ramen is a Japanese broth with noodles, and Sticks and Stones will offer shoyu (soya sauce), shio (salt) and miso (fermented bean paste) as well as vegetarian ramen. The Asian flavour influence will also extend to the bar, run by Chad Coombs, the bar manager, and Cho. Korean and Japanese ingredients will enliven the cocktails. One cocktail, as an example, puts an Asian edge on an Old Fashioned, using a Japanese salted plum (which replaces the cherry), Japanese whisky, and a plum sake. “We’re taking things already there and just giving them a little twist,” said MacKay. “That’s what we like to do with food or cocktails, not making them stupid or overdo it; just giving it a little tweak.” Diners will also find sake, the Japanese rice beverage served hot or cold, and soju, a Korean liqueur, also an alcohol distilled with rice. Both, says Cho, pair well with food. Opening a new resto just as the PST will be newly applied to restaurant meals isn’t fazing MacKay. “It’s like gas prices going up. What are you going to do? You just have to go on with it. Cream rises to the top, and we feel we’re the cream. So when people choose to go out, whether they go once a week instead of twice a week, we are hoping and expecting they are going to choose us instead of somewhere else, because of the quality, because of what we’re giving.” Sticks and Stones will open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday at 11:30 for lunch through until dinner, until 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, open 11:30 a.m. until 2 a.m. Closed Mondays. 226 Second Ave. South. 306-954-2590.

We offer: TOP QUALITY FABRICS • Harbor-Time - Acrylic coated polyester marine fabric. • Sunbrella - #1 trusted marine fabric in the world • Many attractive colours to choose from TARP SECUREMENT

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER FITTING

• 1/4” braided rope sewn in bottom hem to cinch tarp down. • Tie-down boots at each tarp strap location. These boots help protect the boat from the tie-down straps rubbing on the boat. • Additional webbing loop that holds the boat to the tie-down strap to help eliminate “wind-whip”.

• The boat cover will last longer because it will not get “wind-whipped”. • It will seal out the elements more effectively. This will protect your boat’s interior and exterior. • It will look better; the cover will be contoured to match your boat’s shape. • Functionality; improperly ﬁtted boat covers have a tendency to balloon at highway speeds. This creates a vacuum, drawing moisture and dirt under the cover.

(Continued from page 16) ticks and Stones will have 20 to 25 employees and 65 seats in 2,000 square feet, in the former Trading Post location on Second Avenue. MacKay says the restaurant will have an intimate, Asianinfluenced décor that feels cozy. “Sticks and Stones is definitely going to be more casual, hopefully with a high pace and feel,” he said. “We’re definitely focusing more on the later night, as well. We’re trying to stay open until one o’clock during the week and two o’clock on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.” The menu is shared between Korean and Japanese food. For example, there will be a tofu kimchi stew, a traditional dish often consumed in Korean homes, with a unique twist. Korean pancakes are also on the menu, savoury and crispy-edged, and filled with kimchi or seafood. Seafood, in fact, will be a huge part of the menu. For example, Sticks and Stones will bring in Humboldt squid — big enough to cut into a steak, then charred, glazed and served with toasted garlic and spices. Sticks and Stones will also prepare nigiri, sashimi and 25 to 30 different kinds of sushi rolls, using fish from all over the world — from Saskatchewan Diefenbaker Lake trout (instead of salmon), mackerel and Ahi tuna, to other varieties contained in mixed fish boxes sustainably sourced in New Zealand. “There’s no bycatch. Whatever you catch, you get in the box,” explained MacKay. Then there’s the sushi menu, not to mention the sushi window; and three kinds of freshly pre-made sushi just for lunch. “We’re setting this up to do it right,” said MacKay. “We’re putting a focus on to go, as well. We’re going to do our best to make it the best take-out you can possibly get. We want to treat it just the same; it’s just as much of a focus as the restaurant. “We’re going to do Skip the Dishes as well as pick up and pre-order, as well.” “And we have a pick-up window at our AS041020 Aaron

With the unseen activities out of the way, let us turn to the comfort of the car. Getting into such a car as the IS 200t can be a bit of a challenge if you are not as flexible as you should be. You have to lead with your right leg, bend at the waist and twist to allow your posterior a place to land because your left leg is now responsible for allowing your body to have a controlled crash into the seat. Once in place, the form-fitting bucket holds nearly every size of bucket well. I am proof of that. If the seat isn’t in the right place, full power adjustments as well as an adjustable steering wheel get you into a comfortable and effective driving position in seconds. Looking at the LF-A inspired dash shows that you have all the information you need to go for a “drive.” The centre stack holds the HVAC and stereo controls as well as the screen for map and stereo information displays. Closer to your elbow are a consolemounted shifter and a couple of cup holders that your elbow does not land in when driving in a relaxed manner. AS041008 Aaron

Back-seat space in this four-door sports sedan is a bit cramped if those in the front seat are a tad on the large side. If those up front are more conventional in size, the back seat is reasonably comfortable with a decent amount of leg and foot room. My concern was headroom and I did find it a bit tight. Being in the back beats walking home by a longshot, but I don’t think I would want to ride to Vegas in the back. I think the best part of the IS 200t was that the suspension found that middle ground of “comfortable in nearly every situation.” I admit I did my best to miss all of the giant potholes opening up, but there are enough to go around in all shapes and sizes. Most of them could be seen and heard, but did not affect ride quality. Occasionally, there was one big enough to rattle the interior, but steering control was never an issue. Driving the IS 200t daily, I found that my average size grin went to extra-large in a hurry. Many times I wound up taking the long way because I could.
