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

While teaching English in Japan, there were many long breaks in between class-es.

One day I bought a plain notebook and began writing an idea I had for a book. It was about a boy coming of age through the game of hockey. The title was easy: Rink Burgers. Eventually those long breaks be-came a splendid isolation. Day after day I kept writing about memories of growing up in Big River in the 1980s.

For years I didn’t tell anyone about Rink Burgers. I had never written a book and I wondered what would people say if I told them I was writing a novel.

Yeah, good one Todd. And the Boston Bruins will win a Stanley Cup in your life-time.

Well now, both have happened. I loved hockey from the first time I played it. My

father and I grew up cheering for the Bru-ins. It may seem strange to hear a Cana-dian boy cheering for an American team, but I had a reason. Barry Pederson played for the Boston Bruins and he was from Big River. But in the 1980s the Bruins were victimized year after year by the hated Montreal Canadiens. It doesn’t help when most of your uncles, cousins and aunties are all Montreal fans either. I still have enough golf tees from all of them to last a lifetime.

Pond hockey and street hockey were exciting and fun, but hockey at the rink was special. No matter whether you won or lost, a good old rink burger was waiting for you at the end of a game. It softened the blow of a crushing defeat or amplified the thrill of victory.

Because wherever there is hockey, there

will always be a rink burger. Rink Burgers is available in book stores in Saskatch-ewan.

Riversdale is a hub of activity, filled with lively characters. It is the urban frontier of Saskatchewan. Once known as an impoverished neighbourhood, there is a new generation of urban visionaries reshaping the social and economic composition. The charming diversity of character is what I reveal with this exploration of 20th Street.

“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 for 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.

Carpet Superstore Already Exceeds our ExpectationsYou may have noticed

a big new green building onMillar Avenue these days. Thebuilding is home to Saskatoon’snew Carpet Superstore. Afteropening in June, CarpetSuperstore has already gaineda reputation for above-and-beyond customer service in theindustry, owned and operated byRyan and Stephanie Ketchum.

Saskatonians now haveaccess to Ryan’s 14 yearsof experience and extensivefamily connections toCanada’s flooring industry.What began as a job working forhis uncle in Edmonton becamea passion for Ryan when hedecided it was time to open aCarpet Superstore in Saskatoon.

“Itwasaprettyeasydecisionto come to Saskatoon afterworking for years at our familylocation in Edmonton” Ketchumsays. “My wife Stephanie andour daughters were excited tomove here. Saskatoon is such abeautiful city with such strongfamily values.”

The idea of getting to knowand help people is a core valueat Carpet Superstore. “Whendo-it yourselfers come in, wealways help them choose theright flooring for their needsand calculate their squarefootage. We always make sureeverything goes smoothly.

We love customer referralsand we will work very hardfor them” explains Ketchum.Carpet Superstores in westernCanada are all members of abuying group that runs on awarehouse model rather thana specialty boutique. Ryanexplains that “by running ona warehouse model, it enablesus to carry large volumes ofinventory and huge selection.People can walk in and walkout with what they came for,while also paying less fortheir purchase.” The endlessinventory combined with theservice of a smaller boutiquemakes Carpet Superstore aunique option in Saskatoon’sflooring industry.

Because Carpet Superstoreoffers such low prices, peopleoften forget that they still carrythe same high-end brandsas other smaller boutiquestyle stores. “We carry Shaw,Mohawk, Beaulieu, Tarkett,Mannington and are one of theexclusive suppliers of Prevercowood flooring in Saskatoon,”says Ryan, “and we alwaysinclude all the help and adviceyou need to do your projects,whether you have one of ourqualified installers put in yourfloor or are doing it yourself.”So for whatever you are lookingfor, go talk to Ryan and his

dedicated staff and they willmake sure your experiencewith them is a satisfying andpositive one. Visit CarpetSuperstore today at 3530Millar Ave or give Ryan andhis staff a call at (306)653-3899.

YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE Bridges wants to hear about your favourite place in Saskatoon. Email [email protected]

By Jeanette Stewart

Mark Ferguson is a Communications Consultant at the University of Sas-katchewan and has lived in the Rivers-dale and King George neighbourhoods for the past few years.

He’s also a musician, a self-de-scribed casual chef and lover of good coffee. He enjoys spending time near the river on the evening and the week-ends, whether it’s enjoying a Saturday coffee on the banks or paddling down the South Saskatchewan.

Q: Describe your favourite place in Saskatoon.A: There’s a very minimal beach just past the Farmer’s Market, off Avenue

A and Spadina. It’s where we often take our boards out of the water, or canoes or whatever we’re paddling at the time. There’s a lot of rock, but there’s a bit of beach there as well. It’s a nice spot. It’s of course recent-ly opened really. A lot of that’s still under construction but it’s getting there.

Q: Why did you start going there?A: I’ve been doing river paddles. We used to actually land in our friend’s backyard. They lived on Sask Cres-cent, it was at his dad’s house. We’d hoist the canoe up into the backyard and go pick our cars up at the Berry Barn or wherever. This place is just really convenient because it’s so close to Escape (Sports), so you can literally

just grab your board and walk it back up.

Q: What attracts you to the area?A: I’m down there pretty much every day walking my dog. I’m usually up and down that area every day, and I’ve been watching it slowly open and become more accessible. We’re almost there. You can almost connect that river bank.

Q: Why do you think so many people in Saskatoon have a favourite spot that’s close to the river?A: I think there’s a few reasons. Of course, water is so relaxing and moving and interesting. I think it’s sort of the tie that binds this town. I guess the so-cial gathering place too. People can get away from the cars and just hang out.

Next week: What costumes are your children wearing for Holloween this year? Email [email protected]

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

How do you teach your children about bullying?

# p a r e N t t o p a r e N t

“It starts from the day they are born! Right now we teach our son by how we treat each other and others around us. We don’t yell or call each other names and treat each other with respect. As he gets older and begins to understand the concept, he will be taught that everyone deserves to be treated with respect no matter their race, religion, economic sta-tus or sexual orientation. I believe it begins at home and if they see us treating others with anger and disrespect, that becomes ac-ceptable. We as parents are their first teach-ers and must set the first positive example!” — Laura Laird

“Tell an adult. It’s that simple. My son just en-tered school and sooner or later he will either witness bullying, be a bully or be a victim to it. He knows bullying is not acceptable as well as being bullied. Good communication and what he learns at home will hopefully allow him to cope with this.” — Alysia Czmuchalek

“The daycare had a police officer come out and talk to the kids about bullying and conse-

quences of their actions. It was a good learn-ing experience for the little ones and they talked about it for a long time after. We teach the kids to respect one another and to look out for each other. If you cannot ignore someone’s behaviour, tell an adult.” — Carla Contreras

“We try to teach our kids to treat other kids the way they would like to be treated. My kids now understand hurt feelings and they know they will have consequences if they do it to anyone else. It is tougher to teach your kids about what to do when they are being bul-lied. We have tried to let them know that they should stand up for themselves within reason and that it is okay to tell someone if they are being bullied.” — Nikki Melnyk

“Keeping an open line of communication. En-couraging them to always come to us when they have questions or problems. If they have prob-lems at school, we also encouraged them to talk to their teachers or principal. We also talked about the Golden Rule: Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.” — Judy S.

By Jenn Sharp

Living in the suburbs didn’t suit Kent and Darcie Earle. So, after much searching, they bought a beautiful, renovated home in the heart of Saskatoon.

They love antique hunting and finding the perfect piece to bring in to the home because, as Darcie says, “it totally speaks to this house. We love finding antiques.”

WHO?: Kent and Darcie Earle.

WHAT?: A character home with a story.

WHERE?: Saskatoon’s Caswell Hill neigh-bourhood.

WHY?: “The guy we bought this from loved this house. He used barn board from Out-look (in the back bathroom) on the walls. It’s got a door like a real outhouse. They put pictures in the knots of the wood. There’s a horse (picture) behind the toilet.

“We tried to grow grass but because of the big root systems of the trees, it didn’t work. There was a big huge tree that cov-ered the backyard but we cut that down last year and now we get a ton of light back here. Nothing would grow so it’s pretty hard landscaped.”

Character in the heart of Saskatoon


The original owners were farmers who moved to the city. Then another couple lived here for 45 years, then it was a drug house . . . it had lots of periods of decay and restoration. — Darcie Earle’

HOW?: “We replaced a lot of the light fixtures with antiques we found. It was really bad, cheesy 1990s fixtures before. We’re slowly chipping away at it. The sink (in the kitch-en) was from Habitat from Humanity, along with the island.

“The original owners were farmers who moved to the city. Then another couple lived here for 45 years, then it was a drug house … it had lots of periods of decay and restora-tion. It was featured in the Saskatoon Sun in the 1990s when it had a big renovation and plumbing project done.”

A former Toronto resident returned home to Saskatoon two years ago and has spent the last several months helping to restore his com-munity’s church in the Riversdale area.

Taras Nahachewsky has fond memories of the active parish at St. George Ukrainian Catholic Cathe-dral when he was growing up.

“It was one big family commu-nity. We ate together. We prayed to-gether. We did everything together — you painted the church together. If you needed new roofing, you got the community together and you did the roof.”

Nahachewsky moved home two years ago after 19 years in Toronto. His summer was spent restoring the church and the original paint-ings within it that were cracked and damaged.

Nahachewsky began the restora-tion project in July, regluing broken plaster, smoothing the walls and copying the original artist’s sten-cils. The community has stepped up and is helping out as well.

The parish, which has been a pillar of the Ukrainian Catholic community and a vital part of Sas-katoon since 1912, held a 100-year anniversary celebration Oct. 5 to 7. Construction of the cathedral began in 1939 and was completed in 1943. A workforce of parish volunteers be-gan construction with shovels and wheelbarrows. Parish membership at that time was 80 people and 200 children.

“There’s a lot of Saskatonians — a lot of their blood, sweat and tears went into this place,” says Nah-achewsky.

The location — at 214 Avenue M South — was then the outskirts of town but the heart of the Ukrainian community.

Artist Theodore Baran is credited for painting up to 70 churches in Can-ada. A parish member of St. George, Baran began painting the sanctuary in 1950 in a style befitting the Byzan-

tine architecture. Many more icons, murals and ornamentation would follow throughout the 1950s.

Nahachewsky is trying to remain true to Baran’s original work. It’s a difficult task since Baran hand mixed his paints

“There’s so much art in the paint-ing it was too difficult to repair eas-ily so it was left. There’s so much stencilling and iconography there that the average person doesn’t know how to repair it.”

Nahachewsky is trying not to change the colours or alter Baran’s pattern. But it’s a challenge because when Baran ran out of a colour, he hand mixed another, meaning the

colours don’t match — part of the artist’s distinctive style.

Many of the paintings are dated according to when parishioners donated money for their creation. Accordingly, the paint colours used throughout the 1950s, varies widely.

“So here I am trying to match the off-white, which has yellowed over the years. I’m having fun but I’m not trying to custom match paints wall to wall. I’m just picking as close as I can to an average and continuing,” he says.

A self-described “jack of all trades” Nahachewsky has been painting for 20 years along with ex-tensive restoration work for the fire

and flood industry. Thanks to his experience in everything from dry-wall to plaster, he was well suited for the challenging restoration and cleaning project at the cathedral.

“I wasn’t afraid of the project,” he laughs. “There’s a lot of soot on the ceilings, there was a few dust storms in Saskatchewan that blew through. The walls are dirty. Nobody washed them — it’s 26 feet to the ceiling and there’s still the dome above that. I’m assuming another 20 feet.”

The name of his company, O & O Decorating Ltd., hearkens back to Saskatoon’s early Ukrainian com-munity. The O & O Drive In was a lit-tle restaurant on the corner of 20th

Street and Avenue L. St. George’s owns the parking lot on which the restaurant was built. Nahachews-ky’s father owned the O & O.

“He fed the Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians alike. It was a little drive through burger joint with perogies and Borscht on the side if you wanted it.”

Nahachewsky remembers O & O’s last day of business on Christ-mas Eve, 1993. He and his fiancée worked that day and closed the res-taurant. His father died the follow-ing year.

“And we got married (in Toronto) and the community moves on. And here we are, back 20 years later.”

Restoration of Ukranian church a labour of love


By Jill Turner

Turkey: Heritage and Horticulture with Sara Williams, gardening author and retired exten-sion horticulturist, is a small, 16-day group tour of Turkey you won’t want to miss.

Sponsored by the University of Saskatch-ewan’s Centre for Continuing and Distance Education, it is scheduled from May 5 to 21 and offers a mix of horticulture, history, heri-tage and handicrafts. It is limited to 20 par-ticipants. The group will be accompanied by a licensed guide and landscape curator Gursan Ergil for the entire tour.

Ergil spent six years studying landscape design, history and preservation at Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum. Today, he is based in Istanbul, where he lectures, writes books on gardens, crafts eco-friendly furni-ture and designs sustainable landscapes. Ergil is also the landscape curator at Princes’ Island Museum.

“One of the highlights of the tour — and there are many — will be visits to several 19th and early 20th century private gardens on the Princes’ Islands off the coast of Istan-bul, where horse carriages are the form of transportation. Normally closed to the public, these are being made accessible to our group through Gursan (Ergil),” said Williams.

The tour begins in Istanbul, then south-west toward Bozcaada on the Aegean, on to the small village of Birgi near Odemis, then Selcuk-Ephesus. It then heads east, inland to Nazilli and Pamukkale, and further east to Is-parta, then south to Antalya toward the Medi-terranean coast, then northeast to Konya, and further east to Cappadocia. From Cappadocia, the group takes an evening flight back to Istan-bul and the Princes’ Islands.

In Istanbul, Ergil will lead the group through the Ataturk Arboretum, Belgrade Forest and the Istanbul University Botanic Garden as well as the gardens of the Topkapi and Dolmabahce palaces.

Other horticultural visits include a vine-yard and winery, olive groves and an olive oil facility, two additional private gardens, the largest nursery in Turkey, two organic farms, a fig orchard (one of the most important horti-cultural crops of the Aydin region) and a rose farm. Ergil will also lead the group on walks on Mount Ida and the Taurus Mountains to view native flora. Many of our prairie garden plants such as tulips, fritillary, oriental pop-pies, globe thistles, and peonies are native to Turkey.

The tour includes many of the sites first-time visitors to Turkey want to see such as the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar and the Aya-

sofia Museum in Istanbul. In visiting horticul-tural sites in smaller centres you will travel through parts of Turkey others seldom see.

The tour will visit Pamukkale, a geother-mal feature of shimmering terraces created by limestone-laden hot springs that resemble a white castle, with the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis atop the springs. And no trip to Turkey would be complete without visits to the world famous ruins of Ephesus, Perge and Aspendos.

En route to Cappadocia, the group will stop at the Sultanhani Caravansarai, an example of Selcuk architecture.

The group will visit a co-operative textile workshop in Denizli, the pottery village of Avanos, a carpet workshop in the Taurus Mountains, enjoy traditional Anatolian folk dancing (in a historical Turkish bath), meet villagers in Soke and visit the Tahtacilar, an ethnic group of the Taurus Mountains whose culture and traditions evolve around trees. Akcenis is one of their traditional villages.

In Konya, the religious centre of Turkey, the group will visit the Mevlana Museum, the Alaadin Mosque and Castle and the Karatay Medressah with its exquisite collection of Seljuck tiles.

“This is a pretty unique tour and Gursan Ergil has opened many doors to us that most tourists never get near. The agency in Turkey has worked hard to put together a wonderful balance of “can’t miss” sites and places many of us have never heard of before,” said Wil-liams.

It’s already early evening on a mid-summer day when Geoff Smith shows up for sound check at Vangelis. His band Gunner & Smith isn’t set to play for a few more hours, and in the meantime the bar’s stereo pumps a mix of top-40, with Gotye’s “Some-body I Used to Know” edging into the conversation.

While the soundtrack at the bar is a generic satellite stream, Smith be-lieves people in Saskatoon are com-ing around to supporting original

music made by members of the city’s burgeoning live music scene.

“It’s been a great place to play. Ev-ery show we’ve played we’ve felt ex-cited about afterwards because people have been so positive,” he says.

Smith lists a handful of young bands that form a supportive scene in the city including Pirate Fridays, Young Benjamins and Castle River.

“We’re trying our best to always be pushing each other and letting people know. I think there’s a lot of people making really good music around here.”

Though they’re friends, each of the

groups vary in sound and style. Gun-ner & Smith put forth honest roots rock with a compelling amount of grit, given a special sparkle by Olya Kutsiuruba’s stunning harmonies and Smith’s intelligent lyrics.

“When it comes down to music we don’t really have a set style. A little bit of blues, a little bit of country, a little bit of indie rock,” he says.

Smith started playing on his own about five years ago and slowly built the rest of the group around him. He was conscious about the musicians he surrounded himself with, ensur-ing that each one had enough experi-

ence to bring something worthwhile to the group.

“I feel like for us it’s not so much about trying really hard to make it right away. It’s been a long journey for some of us.”

The band came together fully in Jan-uary of 2012, and now boasts five mem-bers. The last to join was guitar player Lance Brown, as Smith wouldn’t settle for someone who would noodle away while the band played.

“I was very picky about the guitar player I found. I had to wait a little while,” he says. “I wanted someone who is a good guitar player but not

someone who needed to be too fore-front. I needed someone who could guitar solo but didn’t need to guitar solo. Someone who played around the vocals rather than played over them.”

This careful approach to songcraft has paid off on their first full band EP, Compromise is a Loaded Gun, which was released in August.

The group is planning a series of out of town dates and hope to hit some summer festivals next year. In the meantime, they play frequently in Saskatoon. They open for Winni-peg folky Del Barber Oct. 28 at The Bassment.

HAir: By Rachel Stange at 4U Hair Makeup & Photog-raphy. “That one actually fell into place for me. I never had a good hair stylist. Last year in April, I did a model boudoir shoot for a Saskatoon photographer and Ra-chel ended up being the hairstylist for that shoot. I just fell in love with her and what she did with my hair.”

CollAr NeCklACe: Dutch Growers. “A couple weeks ago Dutch Growers hosted their annual fashion show for Choc ‘la Cure and the Saskatoon Cancer Centre. It’s a fundraiser. They have volunteer models who come in and model all the clothes in the store. That’s another one of my favourite stores.”

BlAzer: Bardot from Dutch Growers. “That was one of the pieces that I modelled. I liked it because of the animal print sleeves that you roll up.”

SHirt: Bluenotes.

SHoeS: Iron Fist, ordered from Just Fab: “I had been watching Fixation and they finally got this brand of shoes. I ended up buying two pairs of shoes that day and have been kind of hooked on them ever since. Why I say I buy my shoes online is because I can find all these awesome styles in the Iron Fist line online. I have 20 pairs of shoes in the Iron Fist line only.” Colleen Florizone. subMiTTed phOTO

Colleen Florizone works at a financial company in Saskatoon by day, but in her spare time she’s a commit-ted fashionista.

Her interest in putting together outfits was sparked when she started a Pinterest account online. She started keeping track of her favou-rite outfits on the Internet and soon became interested in sharing her style ideas with the world. This summer she decided to redecorate her condo, turning one entire room into a closet.

Some of her favourite places to shop in the city are Giant Tiger and the Midtown Mall. She also buys many of her shoes online.

“I find it harder to shop here just because I see a lot of stuff on the Internet ... and we just don’t have those stores here,” she said.

Florizone is planning to start a fashion blog to share her style with the world, but in the meantime she was happy to share one of her favourite outfits with Bridges.

Between teaching full-time at Dr. A.E. Perry School, raising two boys, doing Ukrainian dancing and playing Frisbee, Min-dy Derkatch keeps busy and her wardrobe must accommodate her. “I need professional clothes, I need around-the-house clothes, I need workout clothes, I need casual clothes, and then I need clothes for all the seasons,” she says. Luckily, Derkatch has a predisposed love of clothes. “In my baby book, one of the first things I said was ‘go shopping.’ I come by it really hon-estly. My grandmother was always dressed to the nines with matching gloves and purse and hat and shoes. My mom is very well-dressed also.” Derkatch doesn’t discriminate — she’ll shop anywhere because “you never know where you’ll find that interest-ing piece.” She loves shoes be-cause “it doesn’t matter if you gain weight or lose weight, your shoes will fit you.”

George Knight bought his beloved 1965 Plymouth Barracuda with plans to spruce it up and drive it on the streets of Regina. However, given his penchant for drag racing, things changed. The car has been modified more than once to perform whenev-er he and his wife are able to attend weekend races in Western Canada and the northern United States. The car is fast — its highest speed of 200 km/h was recorded in South Dakota a year ago.

Q: Let’s start with the most important question first. Does this car belong to you or your wife Diane?

A: It’s our car but she drives it.

Q: When did you buy it?A: I bought this car in 1987. It was a tired old street car. It was driveable at the time, but barely.

Q: Why did you buy it?A: My original intention was to swap a 340 into it and add an auto-matic transmission. I just wanted to fix it up and drive it on the street. But things got a little carried away and over time, the more potential it had to become a race-only car. So in 1987 we started out to build a fast street car but it turned out to be a race car. It was completed in May of 1988, which was the first year we ran it.

Q: How has the car changed since 1987?A: Over the years, until about 1991, we added parts. We gave it a bigger compression and we added a bigger camshaft. In 1991, we got carried away with it. At the time, it had a stock chassis and I decided I wanted to go faster. So the car had what we call its back half done. The original frame was removed. The car was narrowed and the original wheel tubs were changed, which allowed us to put on a bigger tire. We also switched over the suspension, which had the leaf spring configuration. We added a ladder bar with a coil over shocks.

Q: This sure sounds like an expensive

hobby.A: Once you get the original invest-ment made, it’s not that expensive. If you build the car well in the first

place, the maintenance is relatively inexpensive in comparison to what you pay for a new car. But with travel and hotel expenses, things do add up.

Brenda Angelstad’s fascination with nature and wildlife began as a young girl growing up in small town Sas-katchewan.

At the age of 12 she developed rheumatoid arthritis in her ankles and wrists. Her mother tried to find activities to keep her busy and pur-chased a set of oil paints and canvas for her. It was the beginning of a long love for wildlife and art.

When her arthritis went into re-mission, Angelstad obtained a bach-elor of science in biology (with a major in zoology) from the Univer-sity of Regina. She later obtained

her master’s in audiology from the Minot State College and began a long career in the field in 1976. In 1999, she took an introductory course in water-colour and immediately fell in love with the medium.

“I have remained with watercolour and gouache because I love its blend-ing ability and all the textures you can create. It is also a very flexible medium and there are so many spec-tacular effects you can create with watercolour.”

She will be the feature artist at the 2012 Reflections of Nature Wildlife Art Show to be held Oct. 26 to 28 in Saskatoon. Reflections of Nature is an annual event where approximate-

ly 500 entrants including painters, carvers, sculptors, photographers and junior artists exhibit their work. The show is presented by the Sas-katchewan Wildlife Art Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of wildlife, wildlife art and the artists who create it. An-gelstad speaks highly of the event. “The show is important to the com-munity because it brings awareness of the high calibre of talented artists we have in Saskatchewan. Secondly, it’s a way to educate the public on the beauty of wildlife and the need to preserve it as best as possible. It’s also a great venue for wildlife artists to showcase and sell their work, as well as build their careers as wildlife artists,” says Angelstad.

A photo of a peregrine falcon in Audubon Magazine compelled An-gelstad to try painting the bird. She’d always admired the work of wildlife artists, particularly Robert Batemen. The success of the painting con-vinced her she had the skills to pur-sue wildlife art.

She pays particular attention to the eyes when painting an animal. Her goal is to bring the animal to life through its eyes.

“The canines (wolves, foxes, coy-otes) and the felines (tigers, leopards, lions) all have such intelligent, alert eyes. I have developed a recognizable technique over the years where I ex-aggerate the fur tracts of the animal to create an almost 3D effect,” she ex-plains.

She likes to draw the viewer into the painting to help them appreci-ate the beauty of the creatures. She hopes others will work to protect these animals and their habitat.

“All life on Earth is interconnected and if we destroy one thing it will create a chain reaction resulting in the destruction of other species and habitats. The more species and habi-tats we destroy, the closer we come to destroying ourselves.”

Angelstad donates 10 to 15 per cent of her proceeds from each painting to a wildlife organization. She is also a member of Artists for Conservation

which consists of about 500 artists from around the world who are work-ing to protect wildlife, an organiza-tion she feels does essential work in trying to stop extinction of species and habitats.

Angelstad’s work is in many private collections as well as the permanent collection of the Saska-toon Prairieland Exhibition. She’s received numerous awards at the Reflections of Nature Wildlife Art Show for her work. While she isn’t a prolific painter at this time due to her work responsibilities, she hopes to spend more time in her studio once she’s retired.

The Reflections of Nature Wildlife Art Show will be held in the Wheat-land Building at Prairieland Park. It begins with a gala opening reception at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26. The show runs on Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Oct. 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Workshops on Saturday go from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Sunday from 8 a.m. until noon.

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

Email [email protected] or visit Bridges on Facebook

By Jenn Sharp

Both Saskatoon and Regina have beautiful natural surround-ings — Saskatoon has the South Saskatchewan River and Regina has Wascana Lake. However, both cities lack an abundance of res-taurants boasting a view of these natural surroundings.

In Saskatoon, the riverbank falls under the Meewasin Valley Authority’s conservation zone, which spreads 60 km along the river through Saskatoon, south-west to Pike Lake and northeast to Clarke’s Crossing ferry. As such, development is forbidden on the riverbank, which I don’t think is such a bad thing. How-ever, it would be nice if there was somewhere one could enjoy the view of the riverbank while sip-ping a glass of wine.

Hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, that will change. The city is currently updating and repur-posing the A.L. Cole Pumphouse (the only surviving remnant of the Saskatoon Powerplant), located south of the Farmers’ Market at River Landing. Once finished, this building will be leased to a restaurant proprietor. The talk (and my hope) is that a wine bar will fill the space. Con-ceptual plans allow for a rooftop patio and big windows inside the building. River Landing has the potential to become one of the best dining spots in the province and if the A.L. Cole Pumphouse is developed correctly, the site will be well on its way.

Regina’s lovely Willow on Was-cana’s has undoubtedly the best view in the city. The dining room is enclosed by large windows pro-viding views of Wascana Lake and the Saskatchewan Legisla-tive building. It hosts all kinds of events on the terrace — from weddings to the recent Great Sas-katchewan Mustard Festival

The options are pretty limited in Saskatoon if you want to catch

a glimpse of the river while you eat. The Sheraton’s Top of the Inn ballroom is one way to do it — but only if you’re at a wedding or conference. The hotel’s Windows restaurant has a great view but it’s more of the downtown park than the river itself. Same goes for the Parktown’s Four Seasons dining room. Several tables in the Bessborough’s Garden Court Café look out over the river, as well.

Golf course dining is always a good bet if you want a view. Try the Wascana Golf and Country Club or the Deer Valley Golf Course in Regina. Deer Valley even has gourmet hot dogs.

In Saskatoon, Riverside Golf and Country Club has one of the best golf course views I’ve seen. Big problem though: You have to be a member of the exclusive golf course to eat there (and I definite-ly can’t afford membership!)

Another option is The Willows’ Il Salici Ristorante & Lounge. Classic Italian dining with a mod-ern twist is the tag line at Il Salici and I would emphasize the mod-ern aspect of that statement. On a recent visit I was disappointed to not find more Italian entrees on the menu. It was a bit heavy on meat and potatoes dishes, al-beit with an Italian twist. How-ever, there were several Italian appetizers and six pasta options.

My dining partner had the lin-guine all’ astice, gamberi e cozze (lobster, shrimp and mussels with garlic, chili, wine, lemon, tomato and capers) while I tried a modern twist on an original: Elk ragout with flat broad pasta. While we both enjoyed our meals, the view was what really took our breath away. Easily Saskatoon’s most beautiful dining spot and accessible to all, Il Salici has a monopoly at the Willows and should be visited at least once.

It’s definitely movie season in my home. The air is getting chillier and all I want to do is cuddle up with a blanket and a bowl of Renee Kohl-man’s caramel popcorn with roasted nuts. In case you don’t know, Kohl-man keeps up a gorgeous food blog called Sweet Sugar Bean (sweetsug-arbean.com) which is where this recipe came from. Note to the wise: Don’t look at the blog when you’re hungry. Kohlman’s photography skills are wicked and I hear her cook-ing is even better.

INGREDIENTS:> 3 cups nuts (I used whole pecans and almonds)> 2 cups of butter (I used salted)

> 18 cups popped popcorn> 2 2/3 cups brown sugar, lightly packed> 1 cup of Rogers Golden Syrup or corn syrup if you can’t find Rogers> 1 tsp cream of tartar> 1 tsp baking soda> 1 tbsp rum

METHOD:1. Heat oven to 300F. Spread nuts on cookie sheet and roast for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and keeping an eyeball on them. Let them cool and mix with your popped corn in a VERY large bowl (or two not so large bowls.)

2. Combine sugar, butter, syrup and

cream of tartar in a sauce pan. Cook until it forms a ball when dropped into a glass of water, or for about 5 min-utes. It’s tricky, I know, but trust me, it will be okay. Just stir, stir, stir.

3. Remove from heat, stir in the bak-ing soda and rum. Bubbles! Then pour over the nuts and popcorn. Stir really well, and divide it amongst two greased cookie sheets (I used butter, of course) and press it into the pans.

4. Let it cool, then tear it into pieces to devour immediately, or pack it into airtight containers. If you want to freeze it, go ahead, just let it thaw for an hour before digging in. Makes a rather large batch.

Caramel Popcorn with Roasted Nuts


By Ashley Martin

When Tammy Cossette and her family got their Newfoundland dog Diogi from a breeder south of Swift Current, he was nine weeks old and weighed 20 pounds.

Fast-forward six years and Diogi weighs 145 pounds and stands about three feet tall. But that’s nothing compared to some Newfies. At the breeder, “There was one dog much bigger than Diogi, taller than the car when we got out,” says Cossette.

The Cossettes’ two cats, Thelma and Louise, didn’t take too kindly to Diogi at first, “but Diogi likes everybody. They’re starting to tol-erate him after six years.”

He’s usually well-behaved and doesn’t bark very often — except to tease the little dogs across the neighbour’s fence: “He’ll be outside and he’ll decide, ‘Oh the two neighbour dogs aren’t barking,’ so he’ll go over to the fence and (bark) and he just walks away, cause some trouble.”

Q: How much does Diogi cost to feed?A: Believe it or not, not as much as you’d think. Especially in the summer, he only eats maybe three to four cups of food a day but he

always gets extra of special stuff, like some chicken or hamburger, so maybe one big bag a month. He’s fussy.

Q: What’s his favourite thing to eat?A: Those chicken strip or duck strip treats. Anything like that, or chicken. His least fa-vourite thing is olives.

He has to sit in the living room when we’re having supper ... and there’s usually a puddle on the floor by the time (we’re done).

Q: Where do you go for walks?A: We usually just go around our park here and that usually takes about an hour. But then sometimes I take him to Wascana, around the Legislative building and all that.

He’s not a runner and he doesn’t play fetch or anything like that. He’s kind of like a guard-ian, so if there’s any other dog crying or any-thing, he has to make sure it’s OK.

Q: What kind of a process is it to bath him?A: Normally I don’t do it in the bath tub. Usu-ally I go to the pet care place and they just have a walk-in shower. It usually takes about an hour from start to finish. It can be fun. He usually likes to shake before you’re done.

He’s very oily so it’s hard to get the under-neath coat wet so it takes a long time. They use that breed for water rescue. Believe it or not though, he’s not the best swimmer. He’ll only go in as deep as his feet. We have to make him go deeper to actually start swimming. They do the breaststroke too. They don’t do a regular doggie paddle.

Q: Do you have any funny stories about Diogi?A: About two summers ago we were outside and we were putting our garbage into the gar-bage bin and he had to go out and come with us. He doesn’t usually come very well when we call his name, so he decided to go explor-ing.

He went running and the neighbours across the street don’t have a fence across their back-yard and it was summer so they were barbecu-ing on their little deck. They had their door open and Diogi decided he needed to go meet the neighbour, and I was chasing him and he went scooting into their house.

He went into their house, went into their kitchen, saw what they were barbecuing and then into the living room, freaked out their daughter. He was in their house making new friends for at least 20 minutes.

Luckily they’d met him before, but they were like, ‘Don’t let him take our steaks!’ I was so embarrassed.

Venus in Virgo is like a supermodel: Willing to put in the hard work it takes to be beautiful. And just to make things interesting, Jupiter throws obstacles in the path to all Venus wants, making her work even more diligently for good results. The squared aspect between Venus and Jupiter will affect our sense of fulfilment across the board. The good part is that people enjoy and appre-ciate what they work hard to achieve.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a possibility that you know things that you couldn’t possibly know, like the future and past of every living thing on the planet. Or maybe not. But you get the feeling that your intuitive knowledge is growing stronger by the day. That’s why logical choices aren’t the best. Move on your heart’s desire.

TAURUS (April 20-May

20). Consider that you can achieve a certain state of mind by doing things the way they used to be done before the modern age — for instance, writing a note by hand or using the stove in-stead of the microwave. That state of mind will be calming, pleasant and worth the extra effort it took to get there.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You naturally see what is useful and helpful in your environ-ment, and you’ll generously point it out to others. You have a way of making what is good for a person also seem mighty appealing. You can’t force others to choose well, but by choosing well yourself, you highlight the benefits of doing so.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are charismatic and people are drawn to you. This isn’t always a good thing. You feel nervous when someone wants to be your friend and

you’re not sure why. You’ll be wary of excessive kindness and you’re correct to set up boundaries that encourage relationships to develop in a slow, controlled fashion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve felt at times that you were a supporting character in someone else’s movie — or worse, an extra. That’s why you give your full attention when it’s someone else’s turn to shine. Also, you have a way of drawing people out and letting them know they are important to you. Your generosity of spirit will make a difference.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An event on the horizon is fast approaching. Success depends on your ability to think ahead about how you’ll navigate the details. When the pressure is on, it’s likely you will do your best because of the physical and mental preparations you make this week. So, with the end in mind, work backward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your thoughts may be in a state of disarray at times this week, but you can’t deny that there’s a certain beauty to this. Your physical environ-ment reflects the disorder. You could easily clean it up, but do take your time. There is wisdom to glean from this “hot mess” status. Also, you are ultra-attractive to a cer-tain someone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The truth is that you won’t know what makes you happy until you’ve sampled a num-ber of options. The experi-ence of doing so sometimes will be unpleasant, disap-pointing or bitter. And that makes finding what really makes you happy all the more gratifying.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While some make the same mistakes over and over, you are mindful to learn from the past. Experience has made you stronger and wiser. If you do feel yourself

slipping into an unwanted pattern as the planets test you mid-week, you’ll be quick to interrupt the pattern and replace it with a more pleas-ing behaviour.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve been bolder at other times in your life. This week you won’t feel the strong need to put yourself out there. Don’t worry that your reserve shows weakness or a lack of confidence. The opposite is true. You sense that you have much to learn, and you’re wise to hang back and observe.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be drawn to pursuits of higher learning, though something may hold you back. Perhaps you see some types of education as a luxury. Rest assured, your quest for knowl-edge is anything but selfish. You see no point in learning if you can’t share what you know with those who could use the information.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The need to win at all times is a disease that robs people of pleasure and happiness. So you go into this week in a laid-back mood. Even though there is a prize dangling in the future, you understand that it’s not going to satisfy you to get it unless you enjoy and feel good about the process.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS: All of your goals are aligned this year. You’ll be where the action is for the next six weeks. In December, you’ll find the most excitement — as well as love, comfort and whatever else you need — right at home. You’ll have examples of success around you in January, some of which will come from dear friends. Be careful not to compare yourself with oth-ers. Competing with others makes enemies. When you compete with yourself, every-one will cheer you on. Holiday Mathis is the author of Rock Your Stars.

WINE World

By James Romanow

Distribution of Ontario wines pretty much stops at the Manitoba border. Some of this is due to Western chauvinism — we instinctively buy Okanagan — and some of it due to small production. Whatever the reason, wine drink-ers are doing themselves a disservice if they don’t try these wines.

Chateau des Charmes is perhaps the old-est family vineyard in Canada. Last April I reviewed Equuleus, a stunning red wine from them, and I was pleased to see a new listing of theirs, Generation Seven. It’s more of a table wine aimed at people who balk at the $40 price tag of Equuleus.

The whites of Ontario can be wonderful and this wine is a fine Canadian blend. It’s a mix of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztramin-er. Any number of people spurn Riesling and Gewurztraminer because of the floral nose — they associate the bouquet with sweet.

Terpenes (as in turpentine) are the chemi-cal compound that cause these aromas. If you think gasoline smells sweet you’ll understand the connection. To some people these floral aromas can be overpowering, which is a shame because these wines are among the most food friendly in the world.

Generation Seven is a great blend, with that trademark floral nose leading you into a brisk citrus palate that finishes lean. You can drink this stuff with just about anything, but if you

like stir fried vegetables with noodles or pasta primavera it’s a great match.

Better yet, pull a trout from the water and fry it in butter to go with the wine. There are few pleasures greater than whitefish and a wine like this.
