Trevor Green: Simple and subtle

Trevor Green is so comfortable in a suit, he refuses to participate in casual Friday at work.

A lawyer for three years at Olive Waller Zinkhan & Waller LLP, Green believes clothes should re-flect a person’s per-sonality. He quotes Mark Twain, who probably said it best: “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influ-ence on society.”

The 28-year-old gravitates to a “traditional, classical, iconic style of dark suits, not a lot of crazy patterns,” and says “if you put it on and you look in the mirror and you have to justify how it goes together, then you know that it doesn’t.”

Green frequents VIP Mens Wear, Oli-ver’s Menswear and Colin O’Brian to build a classic wardrobe.

TIE: Strellson.

SUIT: Hugo Boss from VIP Menswear. “It’s all about fit.”

SHOES: Fluevog from Vancouver.

Amanda Naber has just started her third year of nursing school at the University of Saskatchewan.

The student usually has to sport scrubs, but she was heading to class in a sunny outfit.

Style isn’t usu-ally something she thinks about, but she was happy to talk about her apparel.

HEadband: American Eagle.

SHIrT: Ton-ic. “It’s cute and flowy, and I thought it would be a nice summer shirt.”

Welcome to the 52nd issue of QC. We turn one on Sept. 15 and it’s been an incredible year.

We started with a mission to document Re-gina’s stories through well-crafted journalism and excellent photography. We’ve become a recognizable face in the neighbourhood, a weekly newspaper you read to find out every-thing from what’s happening on the weekend to pictures of the city’s fashion idols. We will continue to entertain and enlighten, answer questions and provoke new ones.

It’s been an honour collaborating with the team that creates QC each week. Several fea-tures in QC are shared with Bridges, published by the StarPhoenix in Saskatoon. A recent promotion to assistant editor means I’ll be more involved than ever, under the tutelage of senior editor Heather Persson.

We’ve got some exciting changes in store. Just like this growing city, QC will expand into new features and an enhanced online pres-ence. We’re looking forward to the future and want you to be a part of it. Please send your comments, ideas and contributions to [email protected].

QC’s first birthday


Spaces celebrates beauty both indoors and out. If you have a living space we should highlight email [email protected]

By Ashley Martin

WHO? Robert Horner, an emer-gency doctor, and Erin Rutten, an emergency nurse.

WHAT? Their 1927 two-storey brick home in Regina’s Cathedral area.

WHEN? The couple bought their house in October 2010 when they decided to move back to Regina from Toronto, where they’d lived for two years. They moved into the house in January 2011 and spent almost a year waiting for renovations to be completed.

WHY? They knew they wanted to live in this area, which narrowed their house-hunting search. Ideally, they wanted a smaller place that was already fixed up, but they couldn’t find one. This 2,600-square-foot house had been on the market for a while, so they managed to get a good deal, paying about $535,000, plus renovations.

HOW? When they bought it, the main floor of the home was very dark — closed off into small, burgundy rooms. “It was really dated,” said Rutten, and the decor was “not true to the period of the house.” They brightened and opened up the space by widening and removing doorways, and whitening the walls. They furnished the space with pieces they’d collected over time.

“We don’t buy furniture to fill the house; we buy pieces that we like,” Rutten explained — including an an-tique shoe rack from a Catholic girls’ school that now functions as a wine rack. They repurposed an antique general-store counter to serve as a kitchen island. A map of late 18th-century Paris framed in pieces covers an entire wall in the small music room off the dining area. A copy of the home’s original blueprint is framed on the wall near the staircase. An array of original artwork is displayed throughout the house. Upstairs there are three bed-rooms, but the notable feature of the second floor is a gorgeous deck, built on top of the flat-roofed ga-rage. “When we saw the flat roof, we thought, ‘We should put a deck up there,’” said Horner. “We had a really talented carpenter (Travis Medloski) who put it all together for us from some pictures we found online of things that we liked. He did a really good job.” ■ You can see the deck and the rest of the house during the Davin School Open Doors Self-Guided Home Tour, which runs from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15. Tickets are $30 and are available at Mysteria, Crocus & Ivy and Anex. Exchange your ticket for a program at Davin School (2401 Retallack St.) the day of the tour.

Lots of character in this home


on the cover ’Tyler would skate for hours and hourson the backyard rink – Mitch Bozak

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Tyler Bozak made sure to take in some golf when he returned to Regina this summer. qc phoTo by bryaN schlosser

By Andrew Matte

Mitch Bozak wanted to make sure his millionaire son hadn’t become too insulated from a world where regular working folks need to keep an eye on their budgets.

That’s why Mitch recruited Tyler, a Toronto Maple Leafs centre, to join his older brother Justin for summer renovations at the cottage. Tyler won-dered why he was being asked to help install insulation at the cottage when it would have been easier to hire someone.

“I told him that this is the way we still need to do things around here,” said Mitch.

“He and his brother rolled up their sleeves and got in there and did a great job. I love those little reminders because he sees the world from a different view all the time. But I got my camera and took a picture of them doing it. I made sure of that.”

Mitch Bozak is proud of the way his son has carried himself in the high-pressure, high-stakes world of professional hockey. Mitch says he and his wife Karon’s work to raise two responsible sons have helped Tyler not just make the NHL but remain grounded despite the hazardous distractions that come with being a wealthy sports celebrity in one of the most hockey-crazy cities in the world.

“He’s our son first. So if he were playing senior hockey in Flin Flon, we’d be in the stands watching him,” Mitch said.

Mitch had no professional hockey aspirations when he introduced his sons to hockey as kids and built an L-shaped rink in the backyard.

“When Tyler started to skate, it wasn’t about making the NHL or anything like that. It was just a great sport that taught them life skills,” he says. “Tyler would skate for hours and hours on the backyard rink. It was a weird shape but it didn’t matter to him and it didn’t matter to me.”

Today, Mitch Bozak still occasionally struggles with the reality of his son’s success.

“When I see him facing off against (Sidney) Crosby or (Alex) Ovechkin, I need to step back and realize that it’s real.”

■ ■ ■ ■

The labour dispute and potential lockout is a reality Tyler Bozak doesn’t want to face. The 2012-13 season is the final year of Bozak’s three-year con-tract, which means he’ll be an unrestricted free agent next year and the Leafs and other NHL teams will look closely at his success on the ice.

“It’s a business. So stuff like this is going to happen. But I can’t predict which way it’s going to go. As a player, you don’t want to miss any time whatsoever. I want to play. But in the same sense, you want (it) to be fair,” he says.

“I want to have a really good season this year and then see what happens. The free-agent market is pretty crazy, so it’s impossible to predict what’s going to happen,” he says, adding he hopes to remain in Hogtown. “I love playing in Toronto. It’s the place I want to be.”

The latest news about the upcoming NHL season isn’t good. NHL com-missioner Gary Bettman appears ready to follow through on his threat to lock out players on Sept. 15, essentially ending hope for the season to start as scheduled next month. The dispute revolves around a proposal by team owners to reduce the players’ share of profits to 46 per cent from the cur-rent 57 per cent.

Home is still sweet for NHL stars


As a player, you don’t want to miss any time whatsoever. I want to play. But in the same sense, you want (it) to be fair. – Tyler Bozak’

Continued from Page 5

Bozak accepted a hockey scholarship at the University of Denver after playing for three seasons in the B.C. Hockey League with the Victoria Grizzlies. After his first year playing for the University of Denver Pioneers, NHL teams started calling with big-money offers.

But Bozak and his family decided that he wasn’t ready to join the NHL ranks. After his second season in 2009, more offers came, this time from two dozen teams of the 30-team NHL.

Bozak believes he needed the time to work on his skills before he arrived at the NHL full time at age 24.

“I am so happy I went the route I did. If I were a top 10 pick, I probably wouldn’t have gone the route I did. I was a late bloomer. I didn’t get drafted, so school was something I could fall back on,” he said, adding that play-ing fewer games as a university student meant he was able to practise a lot.

“For me, I was able to work out all week. And I was practising a lot, touching the puck a lot so I was able to spend a lot of time on my game.”

Bozak joined the Toronto Maple Leafs orga-nization, playing for the Toronto Marlies of the AHL before joining the Leafs full-time for the 2010-11 season when he scored 15 goals and 17 assists. Last season, he had 18 goals and 29 assists. While there are better-paid players on the Leafs — defencemen Dion Phaneuf earns $6.5 million a season — Bozak’s salary is re-spectable. He earned $1.6 million last year and is slated to earn $1.4 million in the 2012-13 sea-son.

This summer, he’s been hitting the gym hard and working out with other NHL play-ers in the Denver area, where Bozak bought a house some years ago. He splits the off-season between Regina and Denver, where he golfs as often as time allows.

“There are nice courses here. I just head out to the mountains and play as much golf as I can and hang out with my buddies. I try not to Tweet (as) much about my golf as I used to. I get ripped too much about it from my friends.”

Since May, he’s spent most of his time be-tween the rink and gym at the campus of the University of Denver.

Toronto is an amazing place to play. When you are winning, it’s unbelievable. But it’s a tough place to play when things aren’t going well. I try to avoid reading the papers.

– Bozak’

“We have ice time whenever we need it. And the skating is good. There is a good group of talented players here,” says Bozak. Players who have joined him on the ice this summer include former Pioneer and Colorado Ava-lanche player Paul Stasny, Colin Stuart of the Buffalo Sabres, Mark Stuart of the Winnipeg Jets, Marek Svatos of the Ottawa Senators and goalies Richard Bachman of the Dallas Stars and Peter Budaj of the Montreal Canadiens.

Bozak says he’s always enjoyed the pressure that comes with playing where winning is the focus, as was the case at the hockey-crazy Uni-versity of Denver.

“Toronto is an amazing place to play. When you are winning, it’s unbelievable. But it’s a

tough place to play when things aren’t going well. I try to avoid reading the papers.”

He says going out in public is sometimes dif-ficult in Toronto.

“I get noticed when I’m walking down the street by the fans who are all very passion-ate. But when you are losing, it’s tough. I’m sure it’s tough in any market, but in Toronto, it’s heightened,” he says, adding the fans are usually more supportive than they are nega-tive.

“It’s a sold-out rink no matter what night we’re playing. So it’s always nice to know that you have that little boost from the fans. It’s nice to know that everybody is cheering for you. Even when we’re on the road, it’s crazy

to see all the jerseys in the crowd all around the NHL.”

Bokak was able to spend most of June in Saskatchewan, where he stayed with his par-ents in Regina, visited relatives in Moose Jaw and golfed with friends. He went to the gym a lot. And he worked with Regina power-skating coach Liane Davis.

Bozak acknowledges that his ability to per-form under pressure and avoid big-city distrac-tions comes from his upbringing. He knows he was brought up well and wouldn’t be going to work at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto if it weren’t for his parents.

“Me and my brother were given the right op-portunities at the right age. My parents defi-

nitely still keep me humble.”He was also careful to make the right deci-

sions when it came to handling his finances.“It’s all about common sense for me. I

bought a nice house here so I see that as an investment. I try to be smart with my money,” Bozak says.

“You have to look forward. The reality is that it could end at anytime. You have to smart about what you get. You want to have money saved up for when your career is up.”

As for what his plans might be if the NHL season is cancelled, he has no answer.

“If we don’t play, I really don’t know what I’ll do. That is a decision I’ll have to make.”Continued on Page 8

It’s weird to have random people ask me how I am like they already know me. — Jared Cowen’

Continued from Page 7

■ ■ ■ ■

You can take a hockey star out of Saska-toon, but you can’t take Saskatoon out of a hockey star.

Ottawa Senators defenceman Jared Co-wen, known for his height and ability to snatch the puck away from the NHL’s big-gest offensive threats, spent most of this summer enjoying his new house in the Bridge City. The purchase was more than a way to be responsible with his money. It also cements his plan to spend summers in his hometown, regardless of where he’ll be in his NHL career.

“It was a good investment,” the 21-year-old says during a break from his regular workouts at Saskatoon’s Next Level Train-ing Centre. “I’ll be spending every off-sea-son here anyway, so it just made sense.”

It’s not clear when Cowen will return to work, however.

“Obviously, I hope to play. Any player al-

ways wants to play,” says Cowen, who re-turned to Ottawa earlier this month.

Cowen doesn’t follow the intricacies of the talks but is hopeful a lockout can be avoided. “I don’t follow it as much as some guys do. Like everything else, it’s a busi-ness.”

This summer saw plenty of firsts for Co-wen. 2011-12 was his first full season in the league, though he didn’t log as much ice time as he would have liked. The Senators’ season ended in April after the team lost to the New York Rangers in the opening round of the playoffs.

As soon as the playoffs ended, Cowen took off to Cancun. During the summer, he visited his uncle outside Saskatoon. Co-wen keeps a horse there which he got as a Christmas present.

Coaches will be calling on Cowen to log more ice time this year after the team traded fellow defencemen Matt Carkner (New York Islanders) and Filip Kuba (Florida Pan-thers).

The plan is for Cowen and Sergei Gonchar

to be a strong second line of defence behind stars Chris Phillips and Erik Karlsson, as well as newcomer Marc Methot.

“I’ll be playing more minutes. And I like that because I am used to playing more min-utes,” said Cowen. “Last year was a weird year because I haven’t played that few min-utes in quite a few years.”

Coaches used Cowen sparingly last sea-son to allow the young, lanky defenceman time to improve his game and get stronger to better battle for space in front of the net and fight for the puck in the corners.

Before coming to the Senators, he was known as an elite defenceman who played an important role for Team Canada, bronze medal winners at the 2010 World Junior Championship in Regina. Before that, he played in six seasons with the WHL’s Spo-kane Chiefs.

Cowen was picked ninth in the first round of the 2009 NHL draft.

But the future is what Cowen has his eyes on. Following coaches’s orders, he plans to spend plenty of time in the gym and on the

ice. He believes there isn’t one area where he needs to improve but rather hopes to be-come a more well-rounded player.

“It’s difficult to not have big expecta-tions. I expect my coaches to have higher expectations of me,” he said.

Balanced training is all-important — improving speed but not at the expense of strength.

“You can overlook things easily because what happens is that you focus on one thing and then other things get missed. You need to be wary of that.”

He’s returned to Ottawa where there are off-ice challenges. Being a millionaire hock-ey player in Canada’s capital city means he’s sometimes unable to be anonymous.

“Sometimes when I go out, people recog-nize me. It’s weird to have random people ask me how I am like they already know me,” says Cowen, who is slated to earn $1.2 million in the 2012-13 season.

“They ask me how I am doing. Or they’ll ask what is going on and they don’t tell you who they are. It’s weird.”

By Andrew Matte

Tiffany Wolf has loved being a resi-dent of Regent Park ever since she and her husband bought a house on Cold-well Road about six years ago. Aside

from making repairs to the crumbling sidewalks and updating a nearby park, Wolf wouldn’t change a thing.

Q: How did you pick Regent Park?A: After we got married and we started to look at houses, we looked

at the north end. And that was it. We just looked around and Regent Park felt like home. The school in the area is good.

Q: How long have you lived there?A: We’ve lived here about six years.

Q: When you say ‘we,’ who do you mean?A: My husband Christopher, our lit-tle boy Eddie and our dog Dixie.

Q: What do you like about Regent Park?

A: It has a very natural feel to it. There are lots of families in the neighbourhood but it’s not all young families. There are older people around. There are lots of original homeowners who are still here.

Neighbourhood Tour Guide


YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE QC wants to hear about your favourite place in Regina.

Email [email protected]

Q: Is it a busy place?A: It’s quiet but not dead. It’s close to lots of stuff without it being too busy.

Q: Is it conveniently located?A: We are close to 9th Avenue North and Pasqua Street, so we can get to just about anywhere in Regina just about as quickly as anybody could possibly ask.

Q: What is Coldwell Road like?A: It’s an oddly long street. It’s sort of tucked back in there. I used to work with a guy who used to live down the street from us for 20-odd years and he loved it. It’s just a nice, comfortable neighbourhood. When I came here for the first time, it just felt like home.

Q: What don’t you like about Regina’s newer subdivisions?A: Some of the newer areas in Regina just don’t feel like home to me.

Q: What sort of changes would you like to see in Regent Park?A: There aren’t many changes I’d make

to the neighbourhood. I like it. But I wish we had better sidewalks. When Eddie was little, going around the neighbourhood in a stroller was occasionally difficult.

Q: Any other changes you’d like to see?A: I’d like to see some improvements to the park at Elsie Mironuck Community School. It’s quite small. It’s a park that’s close and convenient. And it’s a quick walk. But it would be nice to have more dynamic parks. And its age is starting to show.

Q: What are the neighbours like?A: Our neighbours on the one side are ab-solutely fantastic. Everyone in the neigh-bourhood is super friendly. I was breaking down some window boxes the other day, and we have limited tools. We are a young family. And then I heard a voice from over the fence. ‘Would this help?’ And my neigh-bour handed me a Sawzall. They are very sweet. We also have neighbours across the street and they have a son who is about six months older than Eddie. And they came over once and gave us a box of clothes. It’s a very warm neighbourhood.

By Jeanette Stewart

When teacher Dave Hall found out about the Canon Envirothon, he knew he wanted to be in-volved.

“The Envirothon makes science education real,” said Hall.

The Regina teacher was one of the first educa-tors to jump on the project in 2007, recruiting a team of his students from Luther College High School. This year his team finished first in the Sas-katchewan Envirothon and travelled to Pennsyl-vania to take part in the North American Canon Envirothon challenge with a team of five students. Each year more than 500,000 students take part in the Envirothon across the United States and Can-ada. This year Hall’s team placed 30th overall and fourth out of the Canadian teams in attendance.

The program is a lot of work, but Hall says it rewards students with knowledge and experience in environmental and sustainability science and natural resource management.

“I think my goal is that they will take what they’ve learned and apply it in any profession. Sustainable use of resources crosses every profes-sion now, from building to biology to medicine,” he said.

Last year the students had to create a plan to properly retain stormwater to prevent flooding and reduce soil erosion in new residential areas. Hall said it’s great to see students engaged in real life problem solving. Each team member studies throughout the school year to become an expert in one specific area, such as soil, forestry or wa-ter quality. The team then takes part in a trail test and prepares an oral presentation during the fi-nal three-day event.

The co-ordinators of the event believe the an-nual competition primes students for the environ-mental challenges of the future.

“They are the next generation. They are who is going to be in charge of the environment when we all retire,” said Lis Mack, the Envirothon co-ordi-nator and manager of Partners for the Saskatch-ewan River Basin, the organization that supports the event in Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan competition is held each May in a different location each year. Student teams begin to prepare at the start of the school year. This year’s competition will be held at Red-berry Lake, 115 kilometres northwest of Saska-toon, between May 26 and 28.

Registration for the Saskatchewan Envirothon opens Sept. 20. Interested students or teachers are encouraged to visit www.saskriverbasin.ca. Students take part in the Saskatchewan Envirothon. submITTed phoTo

GARDENING# T I P S F O R S A S K A T C H E W A N G A R D E N E R S

Extending the growing seasonBy Jackie Bantle

As much as I hate to admit it, those chilly nights are upon us and the ‘f ’ word (frost) is close behind. Al-though autumn does not officially arrive until Sept. 22, the average fall frost date in Saskatchewan is Sept. 15. I always find that much too early to say goodbye to my vegetable gar-den. There are a few strategies you can use to delay that inevitable kill-ing frost and extend the fall season in your garden.

Covering plants with sheets, blan-kets or towels is the most common method of frost protection. If us-ing these, or some other household

fabric, avoid covering plants until after 6 p.m. since these materials do not allow light through. Remove the covering in the morning after it has warmed up. Ensure that these covers are not too heavy to avoid breaking plant stems or knocking fruit off. If it is going to be a windy night, make sure that the edges of the covers are secured so that they do not blow off.

You can also use special purpose floating crop covers or frost covers available from your local garden centre. Usually crop covers provide 2-3 C of frost protection. The benefit of using these is that they will allow enough light through during the day and can be left in place until you are ready to harvest.

If you only have a few small plants to protect, you can use hot caps (an upside down cone shaped structure that is 30-50 cm in diameter made of paper, cloth or plastic) or a Wall of Water (a cone shaped ring of connected plastic tubes filled with water). The hot cap provides a maximum of 2 C frost protection whereas a closed Wall of Water can pro-vide up to 5 to 7 C of frost protection. The Wall of Water works on the ther-modynamic principle that as the water freezes, heat is released to the immedi-ate environment surrounding the plant, thereby protecting it from frost. Walls of Water must be opened up during the day to prevent plants from overheating.

Providing constant irrigation during a freezing period can also be used to pro-tect your plants. By continuously water-ing or misting your plants during a frost event, the heat released by the freezing water will prevent the plants them-selves from freezing. This approach is often used in large citrus orchards in

the southern United States when un-usual frost events threaten a crop. The entire crop is watered throughout the frost period. Even though there may be icicles forming on the branches and fruit, the trees and fruit will not freeze as long as there is liquid water to pro-vide heat. One word of caution: irriga-tion must be started before tempera-tures reach 0 C and continue until the air temperature rises above freezing. This may mean that you are watering your garden patch for several hours. During the fall, a wet garden does not dry out very quickly. After a few nights of several hours of watering, your gar-den can become very wet where plants will simply rot.

For a more elaborate frost prevention method, construct a small portable cold frame and drape a string of old Christ-mas lights on the top. Set the lights to come on after sundown and turn off af-ter sun up. These small lights will pro-vide enough heat to prevent frost. Re-

member that LED lights do not produce any heat; it is older Christmas light bulbs that must be used. A single in-candescent light bulb will also produce heat but it will not be evenly distributed under the cold frame. Also, a small heat-er with a fan goes a long way to prevent frost in a portable tunnel, cold frame or small greenhouse.

For those of you who are ready to let nature end your growing season, remem-ber that green mature tomatoes will rip-en off the vine, mature pumpkins and winter squash fruit can withstand 2-3 C of frost, root crops like potatoes and carrots can withstand several degrees of frost (as long as day temperatures are above 5 C) and parsnips and Brussels sprouts sweeten with a few degrees of frost.

By continuously watering or misting your plants during a frost event, the heat released by the freezing water will prevent the plants themselves from freezing.

An unprotected vegetable garden is vulnerable to damage from frost. File phoTo

Jeremy Hiebert has always owned VWs so he was thrilled when his wife Erin suggested they buy a 1977 Westfalia van. After five years of restoring it, they now take it camping every weekend. By Jenn Sharp

Q: Describe your ride:A: It’s a 1977 Volkswagen van, a Westfalia edition. That means it came with the pop top and the camping interior. I bought it off some kid, used it for tree planting in Prince George — I brought it up from Florida. It was in pretty good shape when we bought it 10 years ago. We drove it around for two weeks and it was only running on three out of four cylinders. We were still driv-ing it — it was so much fun — but it started to light on fire on us so we figured we better start taking it apart. We started to fix the engine and realized it was in pretty good shape. We decided to fix all the rust and it just went crazy from there. We stripped it down to bare metal and started building it up. It was a whole family project.

Q: So your wife Erin was on board with the restoration then?A: My wife was in it just as much as me. We wire wheeled and painted the whole under-carriage. We ended up look-ing like spotted leopards for a week because we were trying to paint underneath and not let it drip on us. My son Jason is 10 years old now. I have a picture from when we first

pulled the engine, Jason was a toddler sitting on my knee. Last year we finally got on the road and I took a picture of Jason and me before we put the engine in.

Q: How long did you work on it?A: It was about five years. In the summer we didn’t work on it too much because we’re out

camping a lot. It sucked be-cause we wanted to go camp-ing with it but it wasn’t done yet. We’ve been trying to take it as many places as possible. It has a fridge, a kitchen sink, a stove and a water tank.

Q: Do you sleep in it?A: Yep. The roof pops up and beds come down. Luckily you can still get parts for almost

everything. The only hard part is getting good parts.

Q: What do you call this green colour?A: Volkswagen calls it sage green. When we started gut-ting it we thought ‘now’s the time to change the colour.’ We thought about it and decided we had to keep it green. You can still find the tartan covers

so wherever they were worn out or ripped we replaced them. We put heaters in the seats — they’re not known for their heat.

Q: Why did you decide to restore this van instead of buying a fancy new RV?A: I like working on my own junk and I love being outside — so does the whole family. It

was Erin’s idea to buy it ori-ginally. It was good to have the whole family on board. This thing suits us perfectly. I drive it to work. We tow a little boat behind it. I made a little trailer shaped like a Pilsner cube for it. I’ve had Volkswagens all my life and it was really cool that my wife was into it too. This one came up and it seemed like a no-brainer.

Next week: What kinds of structured activities is your child involved in? How many is too many before you and/or they

burn out? Email [email protected]

“My boy started kindergarten. He’s excited, I’m a wreck! I don’t remember it being so difficult with my older children, but time is flying by so fast and seeing him start school is just a reminder of that. We prepared by shopping for school supplies together and talking about how much fun it will be to take the bus and make new friends. His sister is excited as well and can’t wait to go, but she will have to wait another year!” — Carla Contreras “Back-to-school shopping includes looking for new clothes that are comfortable and yet fashionable enough to fit in with the other students. Then of course there is all the regular books and paper and stuff that go along with school shopping. However, this year’s twist is: I’m the one going back to school, not the kids!” — Judy S.

“The twins were so excited that they woke up and got dressed at 2:30 a.m.” — @MarkHorseman via Twitter

“Our kids are getting older so we’ve been at this a few times. We know the best way to get all of the supplies is to choose one store that will give us the overall best prices with acceptable quality. Once in the store don’t look at the price tags, get everything at once. It’s cut out a lot of frustration rather than going from store to store.

Adjusting to back to school for most parents seems to be a happy time but I don’t personally understand that. We really enjoy the summers and spending as much family time together as possible. Going back to school means the end of most of those summertime activities, back to hustle and bustle, and it’s the time of year it really sinks in for a parent that they and us are a year older — so not so happy (for us).

Going back to school also brings back the prob-lems that naturally come with that environment… back to tears from bullying, or concerns over friend-ships, etc. Can’t summer last forever?”— Jason Roske

“My son is in Grade 1 so to prepare we talked about how Grade 1 will be different than kindergarten and tried to get him to practice his printing, etc. So far school is fine but he does not like the fact that they don’t get as much playtime.” — Nikki Melnyk

“With my kids going into Grade 2 this fall, we worked on our back-to-school preparations together: the kids helped with shopping for school supplies, label-ling everything and packing their backpacks before they headed off. And this year, like most years, the kids already seem to be happily adjusted while I am still worrying about them and how their school year will go!” — Regan Seidler

LocaL aUTHoRS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth readingRead my book

I’m only one of many, many people who love and admire the beauties and benefits of Was-cana Centre. Residents of Re-gina, as well as visitors to the Queen City from all around the world, treasure and delight in Canada’s fourth largest urban park (larger than Central Park in New York, or Stanley Park in Vancouver).

Since 2012 marks the 50th an-niversary of Wascana Centre Authority (established in 1962 by an act of the Saskatchewan Legislature, which united the province of Saskatchewan, the City of Regina, and the Univer-sity of Regina), I thought this would be an excellent time to create a new, entertaining and

interesting way of looking at (and appreciat-ing) this jewel in our crown.

So, with the support and en-couragement of the Wascana Centre Authority and the Uni-versity of Regina, illustrator Val Lawton and I collaborated on Wascana Wild Goose Chase, a whimsical, colorful, easy-to-carry book that doubles as a walking guide, with a touch of history and a sprinkling of fascinating facts and statistics about the many educational, cultural, environmental and recreational features that Was-cana has to offer.

The fanciful rhyming tale fol-lows Lucy Goose and Alexander Gander as they play hide-and-

seek all year long throughout Wascana Park. (Readers can conduct their own “Where’s Lucy?” search in each of the 10 double-page watercolor scenes!)

Wascana Wild Goose Chase was launched on midsummer eve at the Centre’s Summer Solstice Soiree, and now it’s on the shelves in Regina at Chapters, Apperly Place at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Cumber-land Gallery at the Legislative Building, the MacKenzie Art Gallery Gift Shop, Atom & Geek (the gift shop at the Saskatchewan Science Centre), the U of R Bookstore, the RCMP Heritage Centre Gift Shop and Brewed Awakening Coffee Shop. In Moose Jaw, you’ll find it at Post Horizon Booksellers, and in Saskatoon at McNally Robinson and Indigo Booksellers. And of course, online as well through www.yournickelsworth.com, ama-zon.ca and chapters.ca.

My previous early-reader titles Where Does Your Dog Sleep? and Where Does Your Cat Nap? are also available through those outlets, along with my brand-new chapter book for 8- to 11-year-old readers, an exciting adventure story, Terror on Turtle Creek.

Crossword/Sudoku answersWINE World

By James Romanow

Venice, and the hinterland surrounding it, is probably the most romantic spot in all of Italy, a veritable volcano of gothic inspiration for writ-ers from Walpole forward. And the painters! But to focus on the culture for a moment — that piece of the puzzle that creates a situation where ro-mance can breed — let’s look at the wines from Veneto.

Venetians have been fond of wine since the Phoenicians first harboured there. They have contributed mightily to the wines of the world with several styles but the most celebrated is Amarone, a wine made from dried grapes — rai-sins really.

The problem with Amarone is the icewine is-sue: raisins don’t yield much liquid and the wine typically starts around $40 in Canada.

You can imagine my astonishment when I came across a Pasqua wine called Passimento. According to the label it is made from dried grapes and the wine costs a mere $18! So what’s up with that?

Well it is definitely some kind of Amarone, although the grape blend is not usual using Cor-vina (usual), Croatina (usual) and Merlot (Santa Maria Madre di dio!) The wine is incredibly smooth with that combination of astringency and acidity that keeps Italian wine from becom-ing flabby.

The bouquet is out of this world with fruit pre-dominating, then spices, coffee and earth. The palate is slightly leaner than a New World style but a much better food wine for it. And the wine is rich enough to get people through cocktail hour and into dinner.

If this wine were a woman I’d be asking her to marry me. To get this much sizzle in this small a

price tag is something you don’t find every day. Pasqua Villa Borghetti Passimento, Veneto,

Italy, 2009. $18.00 *****

The sun aligns with Mercury to focus our thoughts in the analytical sign of Virgo. The Virgo energy is especially powerful in matters of health and personal improvement. If you already have related goals, you will find yourself highly motivated and univer-sally supported toward their attainment. If you don’t have related goals, this is your time to set reasonable, quan-tifiable aims. The new moon in Virgo on the 15th brings a fresh start.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Trying is tricky. In most endeavours, you shouldn’t. When you feel yourself half-heartedly committing to an effort, recognize you’re prob-ably “trying” instead of just doing. Maybe it’s out of fear. Maybe you sense the futility of the effort upfront. Take a step back. Decide your fate. Don’t try. Do or don’t do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It’s always easier to be gener-ous when the recipient of your generosity is apprecia-tive. While your people are very happy, it may occur to you to keep giving, to go for sainthood, halo and all. Of course, true saints are those who give even when unappre-ciated because it’s the right thing to do

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even though everyone needs money, there are legitimate reasons to turn away from material demonstrations of success this week. You’ll surprise others with your atypical responses. You’ll save financial considerations for another time while you pause to reformulate your values.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you hear no, think of it as feedback. If someone criticizes you, think of it as feedback. Rejection isn’t real; it’s only feedback to which

you’ve attached personal meaning. So don’t attach the personal meaning. Then all you have is feedback, which you can use to improve.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have emotions, passions and needs that you don’t fully understand. A person trained in matters of the mind may understand them better. Consider learning about hu-man behaviour or gathering information on the topic of your particular behaviour. It’s a week for tending to your inner world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you launch into a story, you do it with the pizzazz that gets people’s attention and keeps it. It helps that you know your subject matter so well. If you don’t think that’s the case, make sure now that it is. You’re going to get the chance to instruct and influ-ence people with your stories.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are happy to experience a shared reality with others

for the most part, but every once in a while you get an overwhelmingly strong sense that the world is exactly what you (and only you) think it is. When you think this, you’re right. So imagine yourself as limitless and believe in your power to create reality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Real power is the ability to direct your awareness and attention at will. Don’t let your subconscious bully you into a limited view of your-self and the world. If you’re being restrained by limiting beliefs, you are no freer than you would be if you were outwardly constrained. This week you’ll bust a few mental chains.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Must you always subli-mate your personal desires to put others first? This is a problem you can solve by Friday. Consult the muses. Invite the spirit of play and creativity to weigh in on your brainstorm. There is a way to

get your needs met and still take care of your responsi-bilities and loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone gets stuck. If you feel caught between two immovable objects, it is an excellent place to be. “Stuck” has a way of focusing you, forcing you into a more pro-found awareness. Note that it’s the small movements that allow you to wriggle free. Be adaptive. Look for new ways out. Above all, stay calm.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is easy for you to do what you feel like doing, what you’ve done all along and what you are in the habit of doing. The rest takes effort. In order for you to expend the effort this week, you’ll want to know exactly why. Only the highest purposes will interest and motivate you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There may be confusion in your love life this week and it’s not something you should try to figure out all at once.

Give relationships time and room. Remember that your most attractive qualities are poise, self-assurance and optimism. Good things hap-pen when you live in those qualities.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: You’ll be inspired to give ex-tra care to yourself this year. You’ll take time for personal development instead of put-ting all your attention on the needs of those around you. A happy, active love life centres on your renewed self-image. Finances have been tight, but you’re coming into a better cycle. October brings op-portunity and an unexpected financial lift. In December, you’ll trade in an old set of tools for a new one. Family bonds while taking on special projects this February and May.

By Jenn Sharp

Back to classes means finding food on campus that suits your budget and tastes. We want to help you navigate the eating options at the Uni-versity of Saskatchewan campus. So the Saska-toon-based QC/Bridges staff (all U of S alumni) ventured back and discovered the foodie scene has changed a lot since we were in classes.

First and foremost, I was happily impressed with the wide selection. Places like St. Thomas Moore (STM) and Browsers are even incorpo-rating fresh, local ingredients. My first stop was at STM’s Choices cafeteria, which by the way is the poshest cafeteria I’ve seen in a long time. A huge gluten-free menu, along with in-ventive salads, homemade soups and interna-tional selections make this the best place to go if you have a big group of picky eaters. There’s something for everyone.

I had the homemade soup of the day — vegan sweet potato and pimento, topped with fresh parsley, and a whole wheat herb biscuit. It was $5, filled me up all day, plus it tasted great. You can’t beat that.

Next stop: Browsers Cafe to check out the new menu, which was launched last week. It’s huge! There are five kinds of poutine (we love poutine), lots of international dishes, more in-ventive salads and student saver meals for $7 (most other meals were under $10).

I’m daring someone to try the Excalibur — a $19 burger made of two prime rib patties with cheese, bacon, fried mushrooms, lettuce and tomato. The bun has been replaced with two grilled cheese sandwiches; it’s like the U of S version of KFC’s Double Down. If you can eat it, Louis’ (the owner of Browsers) will crown you Knights of the Excalibur and put your pic-ture on its Facebook page.

The Place Riel renovation was kind to the food court area — it’s almost too nice to eat greasy food there. And there’s a ton of greasy food in Place Riel. If you’re looking to gain the ‘freshman 15,’ you’ve come to the right place — kiosks serving everything from carb overloads to salt attacks will call out to you when you’re at your weakest moment.

Instead, head to Umi Sushi Express or Ex-treme Pita, which have healthy options at reasonable prices. Treats is serving rotisserie chicken this year. Le Crepe Bistro has whole wheat crepes. (I went for my favourite: Nutella and banana, which I managed to drip all over my shirt. It was so worth it.)

Jeanette Stewart visited the newly revamped Marquis Dining Hall, calling the amount of choices “dizzying.”

“The university dining hall (which serves as the meal hall for university residents without a kitchen) underwent vast improvements in re-cent years, and now offers a huge array of meal options.

“Though it was difficult to choose, I went for the salad bar and a serving of roast beef. The meal felt healthy, but it was easy to over serve and end up wasting food with so many good looking choices.

“On the first day of school the hall was offer-ing three choices of soup, breakfast bagels, an

assortment of cereal, a salad bar with healthy greens — not just pale iceberg lettuce — and raw vegetables, made-to-order sandwiches, risotto, several kinds of roast vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, pizza, french fries, pasta, a range of beverages (coffee, tea, fountain pop, juice) and several dessert options. The only thing that felt a little lacking was fresh fruit, and I didn’t ask what the vegetables were roasted in. It’s likely vegan students would have to stick to salad.”

Andrew Spearin went for the best fast food burger around, Harvey’s:

“With the renovation of lower Place Riel, there are more options on campus to grab a bite

to eat. Of course there are healthier choices, but with a high metabolism and a craving for salt, I could not resist the temptation of what I consider the top of the fast food burger pyra-mid: Harvey’s. The U of S campus is Saskatch-ewan’s only location for the Canadian chain. Their flame-grilled burgers are topped off with your choice of condiments. It was delicious. There’s also poutine.”
