Photographer Andrew Spearin has been the eye behind more than a year of Bridges/QC photos.

As Spearin leaves for a new position at Postmedia’s digital de-partment in Hamilton, we turned the camera on him to � nd out what makes an ideal out� t for a photographer on the go.

“Fashion for me needs to be functional. It has to have a purpose. It can be expressive, but that’s not my goal,” he said. “I only dress to impress one woman. She helps me pick out a lot of my stu� .”

HAT: Roots. “I’ve always seen them and wanted to wear them ... It’s really practical in terms of blocking out the sun and the wind and the dust blowing around and to protect my eyes, which are valuable.”

SHIRT: ‘Made in Hamilton’ T-shirt. Mixed Media, Hamilton. “It’s where I grew up,” he said. “One of the main points of pride for Hamilton people is that it’s not Toronto. It’s a hard working place. Everybody works for a living. They’re proud of what they ac-complish.”

JACKET: Carhartt. “I got this in Glasgow, Mon-tana,” he said. “I like to say this plaid is the unof-� cial tartan of Canada. It’s an ode to my Scottish-Canadian roots.”

CAMERA GEAR: Strap, Black Rapid sling camera strap, Don’s Photo. “It’s better than a typical shoulder strap because the cameras will hang on.” Camera, Canon 5D Mark II with a 24 mm lens.

BELT: Brave. “Barry at Ultimo picked it out for me,” he said.

PANTS: Naked and Famous, Luna and Hill.

BOOTS: Blundstones. “They’re really com-fortable. Through my teenage years I was in Cadets and then I was in the Army Reserves and I was wearing combat boots a lot. I feel comfortable in boots more than shoes. It’s a weird comfort. It’s not so� and squishy but it’s a sense that my feet are protected,” he said. “I took a Magnum Photos workshop with this legendary photographer ... the one piece of advice he gives to photographers is get a good pair of shoes. You go into many di� erent situations and places. I could be in a � eld early in the day and then the mayor’s o� ce later in the day.”

Tinika Frecon is inspired by fall more than any other season. “Scarves and long tanks and loose shirts. I love layer-ing,” says the 24-year-old, who works as a funeral director at Paragon Funeral Services. “I love sweaters and I love boyfriend jeans and blazers. With my line of work we always have to dress up so fall’s a perfect season for it.” Even though she loves colours, Frecon is restricted to wearing muted tones in her job. She’ll o� en bring di� erent shoes or a di� erent jacket to change into if she’s going out a� er work. But comfort and practicality are always key because she has a � ve-year-old daughter, Ava. “She likes to wear what I wear all the time,” says Frecon. “She’s like a little mini-me.”

By Jeanette Stewart

Bunnies hopped into Clint Walper’s life nearly five years ago, and it looks like they’re not leaving anytime soon.

Walper owns two rabbits named Mao and DJ, a pair of furry friends who have become a constant source of entertainment.

Mao is a female rabbit and DJ, named after the Stargate SG-1 char-acter Daniel Jackson, is a male.

Q: How long have you had them?A: We got Mao four-and-a-half years ago just after Christmas. She’s from Petland. Originally Petland said Mao was a boy, so I was happy to have a son, but after a month or so, discovered these suspect little bumps on her belly. Teats. So Mao the handsome boy became Mao the fetching girl. DJ is actually an On-tario bunny. In July (of the same year) I moved to Kingston (Ont.), to work at the newspaper there and then we got him in Napanee which is a little town about 20 minutes from Kingston, just looking to add an-other bunny to the family.

Q: What kind of rabbits are they?A: Mao is a Loppy and DJ is a Lion-head, which explains the furry little mane around his head and ears. He’s not a true Lionhead. They can be tons furrier, their back and their butts can be super furry too.

Q: Why bunnies instead of a dog or a cat?A: I grew up on a farm and had dogs and cats and was happy with those standard pets, but I remember when I was seven or eight I went to a friend of my mom’s place and she had a bunny. I became very enamoured by this little furry stinker. I remem-ber asking my mom if we could get a bunny but she said ‘no, we’ve got dogs and cats.’ A ton of years passed. When I got together with my ex, she had always had bunnies and I thought it was time to make my

bunny dreams come true finally in my late twenties.

Q: What’s different about having rabbits rather than a dog or a cat?A: One of the things that’s different is that with a dog, they’re always running up to you and they’re def-initely looking for love and atten-tion. Bunnies make you work for it a little more. Mao is definitely sweet and she loves her pets and she’ll take any attention she can get from strangers, but DJ is a classic intro-vert. He can be a little bit moody at times but he still likes his love and he’s got a soft spot. They’re just a dif-ferent animal and they do different things. They’re fun and they pro-vide endless entertainment to me. I could sit and watch them outside forever and they’ll do crazy jumps

and hops called binkys. They’ll just be standing there and randomly leap up into the air. It’s ridiculously cute. They’re just a strange, special creature.

Q: Do they have any nicknames?A: Mao is Chubs or The Chubs, Chub-bersly Fat Chins, Stinker Butt and Queen Mao because she’s kind of a diva. DJ is Little Man, the Furr-master and S*** Rat because he’s got a sketchy personality.

Q: Are they hard to take care of?A: No, not at all. They’re in their cage a lot downstairs but I try and get them out as much as I can, either outside here or sometimes they run around the house. I basic-ally feed them a couple times a day. A lot of people probably don’t know

this but you can litter train them. If they’re out running around the house you put a little litter box out, when they have to go they’ll run into the litter box and go there. It takes a little while to train them at the start. Eventually they’ll learn to go there.

Q: What do they eat?A: Morning routine, they get their crunchies, which are basically Tim-othy hay pellets. They also really like Timothy hay, which they’ll get when I get home from work at night. It’s pellets in the morning and hay at night. They both love parsley, they just go crazy for parsley. They really like grapes and bananas, and oddly enough neither of them are a huge fan of carrots.

Q: How has having rabbits changed your life?A: When I went to get Mao at Petland I was filling out the paper work and I remember feeling this bit of anx-iety and fear of responsibility. Now, I can’t imagine not having rabbits in my life. I see them first thing in the morning and they make me smile then. If I’m ever just sitting outside watching them I feel completely content. I could just watch them for hours. I think there’s very few things in life that can bring you un-deniable and disarming joy and they definitely do that. I don’t think if you find something like that you should let it go. Life with bunnies is a good life. I joke around a lot that I’m total-ly going to be the male version of the crazy old cat lady with bunnies.

Some parents of multiples want double parental leave By Ashleigh Mattern

At least one twin stereotype is true, says Ni-cole Pylatiuk.

“There’s a special bond between them.”Even before her twins Graeme and Thomas

could talk, they had their own language that only the two of them could understand.

“They’d be jabbering away to each other, and I didn’t know what the heck they’d be talking about,” she said. “They’d be like a couple of farmers talking away. I didn’t know what they were talking about, but they did.”

They’re three years old now, but Pylatiuk says the terrible twos were an especially hec-tic time for her.

“There was that 18 to 24 month period where they’re into everything, and what one’s not thinking of the other one is,” she said. “You have to have eyes in the back of your head at all times.”

Pylatiuk, who is on the executive for the Regina Parents of Multiples Association, said when they first came home from the hospital, it took a village to take care of her twins. Friends and family stopped by often to help, but it would have been easier if her husband could have taken time off, too.

In 2009, Christian Martin and Paula Critchley had the same idea, so they each ap-plied for EI benefits — Martin applied to take care of their daughter Lucie, and Critchley applied to take care of Lucie’s twin sister Athena.

Initially, they were each awarded 35 weeks of parental leave, for a total of 70 weeks, but on appeal, the umpire overturned that deci-sion. Ultimately, the umpire decided the ben-efits are due “as a result of the pregnancy and not as a result of caring for a child.”

This decision didn’t sit well with Martin and Critchley, who are appealing, saying the law violates their right to equality under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Gail Moore, past chair and formerly the ad-vocacy co-ordinator for Multiple Births Can-ada, was involved with the Martin-Critchley case almost from the beginning. It’s hypocrit-ical to argue maternity leave is intended to deal with the pregnancy rather than to take care of the child when leave is also given for people who have adopted a child, she says.

Twice the trouble?


“Maternity leave is intended for the pregnancy and parental leave is intend-ed to provide time for the babies to bond with their parents, and to allow the par-ents to actually go back to work past that stage that’s so exhausting, so they come back as productive employees,” she said.

“And the reality is if you have one baby, you’re back to that stage a lot ear-lier, and if you have one baby, you can give it total undivided attention for that stage in its life.”

But not all parents of multiples agree that both parents should receive the same amount of time off.

Adrienne Stone is the mother of four children: Denyse-Noel, 8, Kaitlyn, 3, and twins Braxton and Caryssa, just 10 weeks old. She argues that the laws have to be in favour of the majority, and the majority of people still have single babies.

While multiples are growing due to the rising age of mothers and therefore the use of fertility therapies, multiple

births still only represent just over three per cent of all Canadian births.

“Should we really be asking the gov-ernment for more money?” asks Stone. “I have to look at the overall picture. Be-cause I had multiples, why does that put me in a special category?”

Nicole Pylatiuk argues parents of multiples should receive the equivalent time off for two singletons, pointing out that a family with two children born at separate times will have two separate maternity leaves.

But Stone says the extra leave isn’t necessary because there isn’t that much of a difference between taking care of twins and taking care of a singleton; that twins don’t equal twice as much work.

“I know, as a mom to two other kids,” she said. “I’m not spending twice the amount of time up with them. I’m prob-ably awake 25 per cent more of the time.”

Should we really be asking the government for more money? I have to look at the overall picture. Because I had multiples, why does that put me in a special category? — Adrienne Stone’

She concedes that if she hadn’t already had the experience of rais-ing two singletons, she might feel more overwhelmed than she cur-rently does.

“If these twins would have been my first ones, I wouldn’t have had any more kids,” she said. “I’m ex-perienced in the aspects of what works, what doesn’t work, what to try, what not to try. If I was a new mom, it might be more difficult.”

Moore disagrees with Stone’s sen-timent that taking care of twins is only “25 per cent” more challenging.

“If you did this interview with her in three years time, she’d say, I didn’t know what I was talking about.”

Moore’s own twins are now in university, but she’ll never forget the experience of those first few months with them.

“As I look back, it’s almost like now that I’ve had a chance to rest and get back to myself, I can look at it and say, ‘Oh my God, it’s crazy that I survived those two years.’ You’re definitely in a survival mode. When you only have one

baby, it’s not like that. You get to enjoy moments with your child ev-ery day.”

She had help from extended fam-ily — her mother-in-law stopped by every morning to give her time to nap — but she points out not ev-eryone has that luxury. Martin and Critchley were one such couple; they had moved from Newfound-land to Ottawa, and didn’t have the same network of friends and fam-ily some people have.

Moore also dismisses Stone’s worries that giving multiple-birth

families more time off would cost the government too much.

“Not everyone is going to want the extra time off, or afford the time off, because you only get 55 per cent of your salary,” she said. “But some families really need to have those extra weeks.”

Other countries do offer more time off to parents of multiples. In Finland, multiple-birth parents can take up to 10 additional weeks for each additional child. In Sweden, multiple-birth parents receive 180 additional days for each additional

child. Moore says multiple-birth parents in Iceland, Italy and Lux-embourg also receive extra time.

Depending how the Martin-Critchley case develops in the courts, we may be seeing changes to EI similar to these European countries. But no matter what is decided, Moore says the govern-ment will have to clarify the mean-ing and purpose of parental leave.

“They’re really going to have to make a statement. Is parental leave about the pregnancy or about bond-ing with the child?”

You’re definitely in a survival mode. When you only have one baby, it’s not like that. You get to enjoy moments with your child every day. — Gail Moore’

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

Like old wine, this story has ripened with age. A few years ago when I pulled out my old daily di-ary entries about my three-year nurses’ training

at the Holy Family Hospital in Prince Albert in the 1950s, I was rather astounded. Did this really happen to us? How did we do it? Students today would NEVER tolerate what we did — they’d just walk out! We were exhausted most of the time because of the end-less, arduous domestic duties required of us. And we didn’t feel respected by those in au-thority until we left the place,

finally wearing a black band on our caps.We worked six days a week with seldom a week-

end off; our lives were totally controlled by the nuns who were training us. We saw Sisters every day in

long flowing robes doing the hospital administra-tion while another section of their order rode herd on us student nurses, and looked after us.

In this memoir, I enter excerpts from dozens of diary entries, simply telling it like it was. Howev-er, some hospital secrets could not go into print. When I went to scan a few pages from my diaries to put in the book, I was amused to find only three of the 995 pages were fit for the public eye. All the rest were just too sensitive (or embarrass-ing). My classmates shared memories and photos to add to my own to make this book a treasure.

Up until the end of the 1960s, thousands of nurses in Saskatchewan were trained in hospi-tal schools of nursing, similar to our hospital, their tuition paid by the labour they provided. To become a registered nurse was the ultimate; per-haps because of the economy or the poor stan-dard of education in the province at that time, few girls pursued a post-secondary education in

nursing. I remember looking at degree nurses and enviously wondering how they managed to get there — rich dads, maybe.

However, time adds value to certain happen-ings in certain periods of history, and each mod-ern change in our present society throws a new perspective on the past. This has happened in the nursing profession. A whole unique piece of his-tory was going on in the period of hospital trained nurses, and I am glad I have the records, scans and photos to prove it, and to share with my readers.

The girls who went in training had a vision of a worthwhile caring professional career and became very devoted and hardworking young women. We still hear people say, “Oh, they made better nurses back then.” You be the judge.

By Jeanette Stewart

Matthew Chesky has a soft spot for one local bar in particular.

Chesky is a Saskatoon-based con-tractor as well as a photographer and videographer. He’s visited the Copper Mug on Eighth Street for years, and said its relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal hangout.

On a weekday afternoon it’s busy with people visiting at tables and ‘90s radio hits on the stereo. The management re-did the menu about six months ago, and Chesky recom-mends visitors try the food.

His favourite is the Ukrainian Nachos, with perogies instead of chips.

Q: Why is this your favourite place in Saskatoon?A: It’s the local neighbourhood work-ing man’s bar I guess.

Q: How did you discover this place?A: The first house I moved in when I moved out of my parent’s house was just kind of down the street. I started coming in, got to know some of the staff, some of the regulars. It just kind of fit.

Q: How long has it been since you started visiting?A: Ten years.

Q: What do you think makes it unique to the city?A: It’s just been a standby place for a

long time. It’s just been really com-fortable. It’s been a lot of the same group coming since I’ve been going. You get to build some cool relation-ships.

Q: We’re right next door to The Colonial. Why do you choose the Copper Mug instead of the karaoke bar?A: I do bounce back and forth be-tween them once and a while. Some-times I need to fulfil the karaoke craving. For the most part, it’s a little more relaxed here and it’s not as much of a club feeling, it’s just a little tavern.

Q: How often do you come here?A: More than I care to admit.

Val Rudulier discovered kayaking several years ago and credits it for helping her to overcome depression. She now finds inner peace on the water and encourages others to do the same. By Jenn Sharp

Q: Describe your ride:A: It’s a 16-foot Necky Eliza with a rudder. The cart has straps that clip around the kayak. The tires I have now (since I wore out the others) have foam inside instead of air and I purchased them at Eb’s Source for Adventure this spring here in Saskatoon. Some paddlers leave their cart in the bush but I like to take it with me so

I can get out of the water anywhere. The whole purchase for kayak, cart, and paddle was only $1,200.00.

Q: Where do you go on day trips?A: I’ve been to Redberry Lake, Fisher Creek, Candle Lake, Torch River, Anglin Lake and Emma Lake to name a few. Most times I go by myself — me and my camera and away we go. I usually come back loaded down with drift-wood and rocks, particularly heart-shaped rocks. That’s an extension of why I do it. I build inukshuks along the riverbanks and lake shores. It’s all about balance.

Q: Where did you get the kayak and cart from?A: I bought if from Fresh Air Experience in Prince Albert in 2009. It’s a discounted kayak and I bought the cart new. I had paddled a lot,

mostly canoeing, with a woman’s group and they gave me the opportunity to try kayak-ing. I loved it. We go on northern trips every year. We go anywhere from a week to two weeks at a time. It’s a group that has supported me through a lot of hard times in my life. It’s a group from the Meewasin Valley United Church.

Q: What do you love about it?A: I can get close to nature and it’s a workout. Personal growth and being in that medita-tive state all the time — I’ll go for four or five hours on the river.

The cart gives me independence. I’m a 15-minute walk to the river. I don’t have to worry about parking or loading it on my car. I can just walk down to the river. I get lots of looks doing it. I bought it when I had a place at

the lake. I don’t have that anymore because of a personal change in my life so I had to bring the kayak home from the lake. It works just fine — I don’t need to be at the lake.

I went through a personal transition and a journey through depression. Counselling, medication, fitness activity and the support of friends made it possible for me to recognize the yes moments in life again. My kayak/cart played a big role in my inner growth. It gave me the empowerment to go on a whim with no planning or driving and also to go alone. I don’t always need a friend to go with and to en-joy the river in our beautiful city. Also I like to give back to nature and pick up the garbage on the river bank that the city crews can’t get to. I even thought I would approach the city to cre-ate a job for me and be the Saskatoon Shines on Water. Now wouldn’t that be a yes moment?

#V A l r U d U l i E r

Kayak a gift that helped owner through depression


As Mars, the god of war, forms a square to Neptune, the god of water, storms gather. Nep-tune focuses the shifting ele-ments in a poetic way, and the days to come will be painted with passion, change, beauty and the awesome power of na-ture as embodied in ourselves, as well as in the outside world. An auspicious trine of Venus and Pluto helps us to create something wonderful from disruption.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll gain emotional intel-ligence. Your feelings cannot be left out of a scenario and you may want to have more control over what you feel. This, however, is not possible. So instead, strive to be more aware and accepting of your emotions, whatever they may be. This will allow you to finesse your reactions to your feelings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The “what ifs” come calling,

but they sing a different song from the one they used to sing: “What if I get the job I really want?” “What if he agrees to my plan?” “What if my dreams come true?” You’ll revel in these possibilities and invite more imaginative op-tions to introduce themselves in the weeks to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll gain layers of social savvy by observing what works and what doesn’t work in your relationships this week. When you share part of yourself and people respond to you, think about whether their response helps or hurts your mood. You’ll copy what works and adapt it to your own style.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It may feel as though you are having many of the same thoughts as last week, and that your mind is stuck in a “repeat” pattern. Just remember that you are not

your thoughts. Some of what’s drifting through your mental screen doesn’t even belong to you, so don’t bother claiming it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you accept someone, this person no longer has to prove much to you. It’s only natural to be inclusive, kinder and more generous to someone you feel you know and trust. Just be sure to screen people well up front. Those who share your morals, ethics and values will bring happiness to your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t expect anything in return when you help others and yet you start to feel re-sentful if you get the feeling that your help is taken for granted. You want to make sure that you are giving of yourself to those who really do need what you have to offer and not to those who are simply greedy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Oth-ers can’t dictate how you feel.

They might provide a trigger that sets you off in a certain emotional direction, but you could also go off in a very different direction if you were so inclined. You’ll receive the same cue multiple times, and your experimental mood may prompt you to react differ-ently in each instance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may feel as though everything is coming down to a moment, but it’s not. Hopefully, knowing that your victory is not predicated on one gallant act will take the pressure off. Your victory will be based on a body of work and a number of deeds. Having an objective and working in steps toward that purpose will get you there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Beauty is not your goal, but you will continue to work until what occurs is something so masterful that it is undeniably gorgeous. The in-between stages you go through this week are

perhaps not nearly as lovely to behold. Have faith and keep going, though, because you deserve that breathtak-ing result.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Head toward your goal and respond to feedback, and you eventually will get where you want to be. Straying off course is a natural and help-ful phenomenon if you have someone to tell you when it’s occurring. If you are aware that you have deviated, you can correct your path. In the end, the prize will be yours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Part of the happenings this week will feel like an elabo-rate heist with many working parts and a prize for the tak-ing. Of course, assembling the right team will be crucial. While working with people you admire, you’ll pull off an impressive feat that turns out to be entirely legal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll play a game and you’ll play to win. Be aware that the

moment of victory is when many people make mistakes by becoming overly confident and therefore vulnerable to the pitfalls of greed and ar-rogance. Be mindful not to let success go to your head. When you achieve your goal, stop and consider your next step.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: Everyone seems to need you at once. Since you can’t clone yourself, you’ll have to say no often this month. A relation-ship takes centre stage in November. Friends keep you laughing and loving through the holidays. Your willpower is incredibly strong in the new year and you’ll keep your top resolution. In Febru-ary, you’ll use your powers of enchantment to set up a happy arrangement. This is something you’ve been trying to achieve for years, and it finally will be a reality.

“In this book, Doug Snowsell shares his story - from a boyhood

largely devoid of spiritual direction, to a career in banking, to

responding to the call of Jesus Christ to “follow him.” Doug’s story

will inspire and instruct you. It is well worth reading and sharing with

others - especially those who are still searching for relationships that

give meaning and purpose to life.”

— Preston Manning

“Having been a missionary myself in Latin America, I was always

looking for new recruits. Doug and Ann (Snowsell) were two of the

older group of students at the College in whom I saw good potential.

I encouraged them toward missions. I called these couples who were

over thirty, “the young geriatrics.” I was pleased to see our Mission

make room for these older, mature couples. It’s amazing what God can

do through an ordinary couple who simply makes themselves available

to The Lord of the Harvest.”

—Arnold Cook, retired denominational leader of the Christian and Missionary

Alliance in Canada

“In the heart of every human being there is a longing to be intimately known and intimately loved--thelonging for relationship. Out true life stories--not the ones we sometimes fabricate to impress others--arelargely the stories of our search to satisfy these longings. In this book, Doug Snowsell shares his story--from a boyhood largely devoid of spiritual direction, to a career in banking, to responding to the call ofJesus Christ to “follow him”. Doug’s experience in that the longing for relationship is ultimately satisfiedin a personal relationship with God through Jesus--a relationship which in turn transforms our personallives, our vocations, and our relations with others. It is an old, old story-yet one that is infinitely variedand fresh when told by someone who has actually lived it. Doug’s story will inspire and instruct you. It iswell worth reading and sharing with others--especially those who are still searching for relationships thatgive meaning and purpose to life.”-Preston Manning

Douglas Snowsell was born and raised in Kelowna B.C and is part of a third generation orchardist family.After the death of his father he left farming and, almost inadvertently, became a successful banker. At age34, he took an unexpected turn and entered a Bible seminary. After he successfully graduated he and hiswife Ann took their young family to South America and began a second career in ministry.During his sixteen-year career as a missionary fo the Christian & Missionary Alliance, Doug Snowsellpioneered a modern approach to urban Latin church growth, first in Santiago, Chile and later Madrid,Spain. Douglas Snowsell lives in Victoria, B.C., where he is still involved in growth, although principally ofthe vegetable variety.

Each week Bridges, in connection with SaskatoonMoms.com, gathers ad-vice from parents to share with other moms and dads. This week we asked:

Do you give your children an allowance?

“We tried to do the whole allowance thing, but it was a lot more work than it was worth. However, we kept a pretty tight fist on the change purse and only doled out the cash for things that made sense or were needed.” — Judy S. “My sons are too young for an allowance now but as they get older I will likely give them one. In return, I’ll expect certain chores to be done and expectations be met in regards to behaviour and school.” — Michelle Grodecki

“The kids are too young for a regular allowance. They are given some money every Sunday to give to the church. As they get older, they’ll probably be given the opportunity to earn some extra, by helping with chores around the house (i.e. taking laundry

downstairs, making beds, keeping rooms cleaned, helping with dishes). We haven’t even thought about a regular allowance as of yet, but I suppose we will have to consider it soon.” — Carla Contreras “My son is almost six and I think it is time to start an allowance. The allowance will depend on his behaviour and some small chores that he will be responsible for such as cleaning up his toys and do-ing his homework without complaining.” — Nikki Melnyk

“No allowance at our household. We do more of a reward system. My son is old enough now to help with some of the chores. He knows when he helps, he will get the things he asks for within reason. The chore matches that reward!”

— Alysia Czmuchalek

By Jeanette Stewart

A group of Saskatoon librarians, authors and artists are about to set the library loose.

The Saskatoon Public Library (SPL) is hosting its fourth annual Stories in the Bar to kick off Sas-katchewan Library Week, which be-gins Oct. 15. It features storytelling, improv, a musical guest and read-ings and will be held at Lydia’s Pub on Broadway, an unconventional venue for public library programs.

“A lot of times bringing the li-brary into the community means go-ing to a daycare centre or a senior’s home. This is outreach to young adults who might not know that the library does stuff for them,” said Ann Foster, branch supervisor at the SPL.

The event will include a reading from 50 Shades of Grey, which is the most-requested book at the SPL at the moment. There are currently more than 600 holds on each book in the bestselling trilogy.

The event will also include a reading from the original Grimm’s Fairy Tales

“The original stories are grizzly and gruesome and horrifying, but they’ve been so sanitized and that’s what a lot of people are familiar with,” said Foster. The downtown children’s department has a large collection of the old fairy tales, which will be presented by a re-searcher who has been exploring the library’s collection.

“It’s a fun night, but we’re sneak-ily teaching you stuff at the same time,” she said. “But there’s also beer and stuff, so maybe you don’t notice.”

Part of the benefit of organizing the annual event is the connections forged with different local artists says Foster.

Past performers have included the Rosebud Burlesque Club and folk duo the Karpinka Brothers, who have since become regular per-formers at the library.

This year Saskatoon author Wes Funk will be featured, as well as Berkley Staite, who will perform some of his Sex+ Variety Show Hour, which he regularly presents on CFCR 90.5. The No-No’s Improv

troupe will perform and honky-tonk garage band The Seahags will be featured as musical guests. The evening’s MC is David Poulsen, the library’s current writer-in-res-idence. Poulsen also happens to be

an award-winning rodeo announc-er. There will also be door prizes for attendees. Lydia’s has become a favourite venue because of its regu-lar support for spoken word events.

“Lydia’s patrons aren’t super

freaked out if they come in and there’s a literary event going on,” said Foster.

The event is free and runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15 at Lydia’s Pub on Broadway.

Literature breaks loose from the library

Alliums, or ornamental onions, are attractive, drought-tolerant, long-lived and trouble-free. They are also among the most versatile yet under-used hardy bulbs available to prai-rie gardeners. Most of the alliums grown in prairie gardens are from Asia, but there are more than 600 spe-cies worldwide, some of which are adapted to our conditions.

Some of the flowers are fragrant and all are lovely. Colours include white, pink, yellow, red, purple and blue. Heights range from 25 to 90 cm (10 to 36 in.). Most are summer bloom-ing. Plant in full sun on well-drained soil. Deadhead to avoid unwanted seedlings. Use in fresh or dried ar-rangements, perennial or mixed bor-ders and rock gardens.

Aflatun onion (Allium aflatunense) has lilac-purple or light violet flow-ers with darker veins. The flowers are drumstick in shape, 6 to 10 cm (2.5 to 4 in.) in diameter and bloom in May and June. Native to Siberia and Turkestan, it is 45 to 75 cm (17 to 30 in.) in height, with strap-shaped leaves. Cultivars include:

• ‘Purple Sensation’: bright purple flowers, in early summer bloom on 90 cm (36 in.) stems.

• ‘Mount Everest’: white flowers on 60 cm (24 in.) stems.

• ‘Lucille Ball’ (‘Lucy Ball’): large (5 in.) deep lilac flowers, 40 in. tall.

Blue globe or azure onion (A. caeruleum, formerly A. azureum) has deep blue, globular flowers with darker central veins. These are al-luded to by the former species name, which means dark blue. The flower heads are three to four cm (1 to 1.5 in.) in diameter, borne on 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in.) stems in June.

Nodding onion (A. cernuum) is na-tive to gravelly and rocky areas of the prairies. Thirty to 60 cm (12 to 24 in.) in height, it has pink to white flowers in a loose, nodding head and blooms in summer. The foliage is grey green and somewhat flattened.

Star of Persia (A. christophii) is

generally less than 30 cm (12 in.) in height and has large purple flowers with shiny silver highlights in May and June.

‘Globemaster’ is violet and 20 cm (8 in.) in diameter.

Yellow onion (A. flavum) has graceful, sweetly scented, lemon yel-low florets which form the umbel and are tier-like in effect, with the centre ones erect and the outer ones falling. It is 40 cm (16 in.) high, blooming in late summer. The foliage is grey blue. It is native to the dry hills of Central Europe and Asia.

Giant onion (A. giganteum) should be placed in a more protected loca-tion. It is gigantic as alliums go, 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 in.) in height with large (10 cm/4 in.) globes of pink

flowers above narrow leaves in late spring.

Turkestan onion (A. karataviens) is short-stemmed and only 25 cm (10 in.) high, but has one of the larger flower heads of the hardy onions. The spherical, pale pink or purple flower heads, which are composed of star-shaped florets and bloom in early spring, are 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) in diameter. The two to three broad basal leaves are grey purple and held almost horizontally.

‘Ivory Queen’ is a selection with ivory-white flowers.

Golden garlic (A. moly) has star-like, buttercup yellow flowers in early spring on 30 cm (12 in.) stems above wide, grey-green basal leaves. In Eu-rope, its native habitat, it is found in

shaded areas of rock and gravel. Ostrowsky onion (A. oreophilum,

formerly A. ostrowskianum), has car-mine pink flowers on 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in.) stems in midsummer above graceful, curled leaves.

‘Zwanenburg’ is a deeper pink. Chives (A. schoenoprasum) forms

dense clumps, 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 in.) high, with pink flowers 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2 in.) in diameter for much of the summer. The species name is from the Greek words schoinos (a rush) and prasum (leek) and describes the rushlike, edible leaves.

‘Forescate’ has deeper pink flow-ers.

‘Profusion’ is sterile with no seed-lings.

Mountain garlic (A. senesces) has small, mauve-lilac flowers on 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in.) stems above glossy

blue-grey leaves in late summer. A. senesces var. glauca has particu-

larly attractive foliage, blue grey and appealingly twisting.

Roundheaded leek (A. sphaero-cephalon) has drumstick-shaped flowers the colour of red wine. They bloom in midsummer on 60 cm (24 in.) stems above narrow, hollow leaves. The flowers are sometimes replaced by bulbils.

SHARP EATS See a food trend you think deserves a highlight in Bridges?

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen — it’s an apt statement to apply to the Gold Medal Plates competition mak-ing two stops in Saskatchewan this fall.

The nation-wide competition pits the best chefs in 11 major cities against one another in a fierce battle for the gold. Chefs are tasked to create a unique, awe-inspiring dish that will be judged by the best food critics in Canada. They must also prepare this dish for the hundreds of other people attending.

Gold Medal Plates’ net pro-ceeds are given to Canada’s Olympic Foundation to support high performance programs such as Own the Podium. More than $6 million has been raised thus far.

Attendees mingle and visit the various chefs’ stations throughout the first two hours of the event. They sample the dishes and wine, chat with the chefs and Olympic athletes paired with each chef. Then it’s off to the formal portion of the night which always includes en-tertainment and a live auction, where incredible trips around the world are on the menu.

Gold Medal Plates first came to Saskatoon in 2010. Organizers were reluctant to add the city to the list for fear the event would be poorly attended or may not raise enough money to make it all worthwhile.

Saskatoon blew their socks off that first year and raised just as much if not more than Vancou-ver or Toronto. We’re a philan-thropic province to be sure. For the first time, Gold Medal Plates will hold a second Saskatchewan event in Regina tonight (Saska-toon’s is Nov. 3). Jim Cuddy is coming, along with emcee Adam van Koeverden (a sprint kayaker

who won silver in the 1,000 me-tre event in London).

Several chefs from Regina have competed in the past two Saskatoon events, but to have their own event in their own city is a huge boost. It means more chefs can compete and prove that Saskatchewan has what it takes to become a nationally rec-ognized foodie destination.

Milton Rebello, executive chef at the Hotel Saskatchewan, has competed in Edmonton be-fore but never led his own team and is “super excited and totally charged” for the opportunity. He’s always been a promoter of locally sourced ingredients and has perfected a dish to display local at its best. Being invited to compete is a wonderful com-pliment, one that has an added dose of excitement for Regina, says Rebello.

“To make it even more spe-cial, we kick off the start to this year’s competition,” he says.

Leo Pantel, executive chef at the Conexus Arts Centre, has competed in Saskatoon before and says his nerves have calmed down but that the pressure is always intense to impress the judges.

Its Darren Craddock’s first time leading a team at Gold Med-al Plates (he’s the executive chef at Saskatoon’s Riverside Coun-try Club). He was a member of Anthony McCarthy’s gold-medal winning team last year and is honoured to be asked to compete this year.

“You get to enjoy some hard-earned recognition, to be in the company of the city’s finest chefs (and) it adds to the camaraderie that already exists amongst us.”

Tickets are available through goldmedalplates.com to both events and sell out every year.

‘Tis the season for comfort food and there’s nothing bet-ter than a hot bowl of home-made chicken noodle soup. This recipe for chicken soup stock comes from Pineview Farms in Saskatoon (pinev-iewfarms.com). Proprietor Melanie Boldt says local Mennonite matriarchs have shared their secrets with her for traditional chicken stock, the base for the ulti-mate comfort food.

INGREDIENTS:>1 bag PVF soup bones or 1 bag wings (frozen or

thawed)>1 onion whole>1 bay leaf>2 stalks celery, clean and whole>2 whole carrots, scrubbed and whole>2 parsnips, scrubbed and whole>2 star anise pods>1 bay leaf>5-10 whole peppercorns>salt to taste>butter

METHOD:1. Bring a pot full of water to boil. When water is boil-

ing, add the chicken bones, vegetables, bay leaf, anise, salt and pepper. Simmer on the stove for 2 to 8 hours.2. Remove bones, vegetables, anise, and bay leaf. Remove meat tidbits from the chick-en bones and add back to the soup later if desired.3. Add 2-3 tbsp butter to the broth just before serving.

SECRETS: 1. Only add the bones once the water is boiling. This creates a clear broth instead of a murky broth.2. Some people roast the

bones in the oven at 350 F for 1-2 hours to give the broth a richer taste and browner colour.3. Star anise is a natural healer and helps prevent colds and flus. That’s why chicken broth is often thought of as medicinal.

Making a large pot of broth saves time. Freeze the re-maining broth in portions suitable for future recipes. I package broth in pint jars and freeze it for use in risot-tos, pastas, sauces and of course, more soup.

By James Romanow

Malbec has become the default red for any number of people these days. Originally a Bor-delais varietal, it is seldom blended there now — it needs a couple of weeks too many to ripen for the Bordeaux.

The Argentinians have been growing and vinifying Malbec for a couple of hundred years. (They thought it was Merlot until the late 1980s.) This long cultivation means the clones have been winnowed to suit where they grow.

It is capable of being a rich, intense struc-tured wine with stiff tannins. However the Ar-gentinians tend to rack out the tannins to make the wine accessible at a younger age.

Trapiche is a well-known name here, selling mostly inexpensive wines including a couple of organics under the Zaphy label. Broquel is an attempt by Trapiche to lure committed Malbec fans higher up the food chain.

I’m not sure how successful a venture this will be. It strikes me that most of the fans of Argentina are price sensitive and will stam-pede off to the next hard luck nation when Ar-gentina jacks the prices. However, if you are a person willing to drink outside the economy level this wine should interest you.

It’s certainly more intense than the less expensive brand mates. The oaking is less ob-

vious and the bouquet more integrated, let-ting the spicy, meaty character of the varietal through. The palate is still quite fruity, but it is slightly more angular with a better structure than wines aimed at those preferring a softer texture.

If you like a drier, brighter wine that doesn’t finish like cough syrup, you should give this wine a try. It’s a palate that will work with red wine fare and for traditionalists like myself.
