Desiree Rattray:

Makeover provides mom with a new sense of style By Ashley Martin If anyone deserves a makeover and some pampering, it’s Desiree Rattray. The mother of three was the winner of a recent contest in Regina, The Mother of All Makeovers. More than 100 people were nominated. She knew her name was in the mix, but the idea of winning was the furthest thing from her mind. At the time, she’d just wrapped up a hospital stay with her son Will, who was receiving his fourth surgery. Will was born Aug. 1 with severe laryngomalacia, so he couldn’t eat and breathe at the same time. He later developed pyloric stenosis, which caused him to vomit a lot, and aspiration pneumonia. He was put on a feeding tube in October and a gastric tube in April. The baby is “doing amazing now,” and is in rehabilitation to relearn how to eat. “He will be a perfectly healthy little boy eventually; it’s just this has been a rough first go of it for him,” said Rattray. Needless to say, style was not top of mind during this harrowing time for their family. “It puts things in perspective for you, right? You don’t care so much that the laundry’s not done or supper’s not perfect, or that your makeup or your toenails haven’t been painted in six months,” said Rattray. “It was a ponytail and yoga pants for a long time. You care but you don’t. You’re aware of the fact that your first priority is not your hair and makeup and not only that but the baby weight too. I was supposed to be in pre-pregnancy clothes by now.” But with her son on the mend, Rattray got a needed boost through the

Salon 306 makeover, which included being set up with a personal trainer and getting some style tips from local fashionistas Riley Lawson and Dean Renwick. For work as a SaskTel call centre manager, Rattray’s style was functional and neutral. But now she is ready to go outside her comfort zone, embracing pattern and colour. She wants to take more risks with fashion, as she did during a contest photo shoot, wearing a black jumper with a skinny coral belt and coral wedge shoes. “It was just so much fun and I really feel now that I’d be able to wear something completely out of my comfort zone and just be able to rock it.”

EARRINGS AND NECKLACE: Lane Designs. “I’ve always loved jewelry so I try to dress things up as much as I can with big earrings and necklaces and that sort of thing.”

MAKEUP: Braxton Thomas from Salon 306

BRACELET: Lane Designs. “It’s a staple that I’ll probably just leave on all the time. (Staci) customized it with the initials of my three kids so it’s very special.”

BLAZER: Stella & Sway

BLOUSE: Stella & Sway

JEANS: Joe Fresh. “Dark wash skinny jeans, something so simple but you feel so good in (them).”

SHOES: Sam Edelman from Coda

The opportunities that I’ve gotten are because I work my butt off to get them. — Lisa Dutton

on the news

TV news anchor gig not all glamour and glitz

Lisa Dutton, shown here in Global Saskatoon’s Morning News studio, says confidence is everything for a news anchor. Starting out in smaller markets helped her find her voice. Bridges Photo by Michelle Berg

What is life in the spotlight like for four of Saskatchewan’s most recognizable news anchors? By Jenn Sharp Everyone has a bad day at home. Everyone makes mistakes at work. But when you earn your living in front of a camera, there is literally no place to hide. Given the intense pressure of making deadlines, going on live and pre-

senting the news as flawlessly as possible, you have to wonder what kind of people are drawn to a very public life in the studio. Bridges sought out four female news anchors in Saskatoon and Regina to share their experiences about the demands of their jobs, the challenges in their personal lives and how gender bias has changed over the years. ■ ■ ■ ■ Lisa Dutton, anchor of Global Saskatoon’s Morning News, says the biggest misconception about her job

is that it’s glamourous. She does her own hair and makeup, as do all the women interviewed here. She writes her own stories and likes having that control. There are incredible opportunities, like getting to meet Oprah, but Dutton is bothered by people who praise her luck. “No opportunities that I’ve gotten in this industry are because I’m lucky. The opportunities that I’ve gotten are because I work my butt off to get them.” Morning television is a tough market. The best anchors make it look easy. They’re poised and friendly, they chat comfortably with their

guests and co-hosts. But what happens when those demands collide with setbacks in your personal life? Dutton, who is loved by her viewers for her outgoing nature and downto-earth personality, hit rock bottom off-camera last fall. She and husband Colin had been trying for some time to conceive a second baby (son Jesse is four). She became pregnant but at the three-month mark miscarried. “I was defeated — physically, emotionally and mentally. It really was just impossible to come to work and act like everything was OK at that point in my life.” Nowhere in media is cheerfulness

more important than on a morning show. She took some time off work, a decision her employer supported. When she came back, she realized the set is her “happy place.” Watch her on Global and her passion is apparent. Global Regina’s Evening News anchor Jill Morgan understands the loss Dutton experienced. She had two miscarriages prior to having her now two-year-old daughter Brooklyn. It was an emotional time and, as she talks about it now, that emotion is still raw. While she was dealing with the loss, she says coming to work gave her a sense of normalcy.

I was crying. I’m glad you couldn’t tell but there were tears in my eyes. I think everyone was. That was the height of horror. — Jill Morgan

“I didn’t want to sit at home and be sad for days on end. I channeled the hurt, the sadness, the anger and those negative feelings I had about what had happened into a more positive energy for my work performance.” Presenting news stories about children in peril is, of course, a huge challenge. Morgan remembers being asked how she didn’t cry when reading the news about the Newtown massacres last December. “I was crying. I’m glad you couldn’t tell but there were tears in my eyes. I think everyone was. That was the height of horror.” Successful news anchors are able to emphasize with the story and the people in it, while maintaining their professionalism. This personal aspect of the job can take an emotional toll. Morgan describes her job as “parachuting into people’s lives.” Continued on Page 6

I think we’ve gotten away from the stoic, masculine news anchor. Even some of our great male news anchors that are still on the air have softened their approach a little bit. — Morgan

“You get a window into so many people’s lives when you work in news. You get a sense of some of the dark side of life, but also some of the great joys and the great accomplishments.” While the evening news is a more traditional environment, Morgan says it’s not hard for her to be human while on the anchor desk. Emotionally investing in the stories she tells allows her to connect more with her viewers. “I think we’ve gotten away from the stoic, masculine news anchor. Even some of our

great male news anchors that are still on the air have softened their approach a little bit.” THE PERSONALITY BALANCE

Morgan and Dutton agree that this investment allows them to show their personalities and connect with viewers. But there are risks with opening up. “The more personality you show, the more subject you are to being liked or disliked,” Dutton says.

Morning television’s demographic (parents and families) easily identify with Dutton. As one of the MC’s when Oprah was in town in April, she got a huge ovation when she took to the stage. She confided how nervous she was to introduce and meet the talk show queen. It’s this humble side of Dutton that makes her relatable for so many. When Morgan was starting her career, (including a stint as an agriculture reporter in Red Deer, Alta.) she worried so much about saying the wrong thing that she said little else

besides her rehearsed script. “I didn’t want to bring too much personality to it for fear of being judged in a harsh way, but now I’ve loosened up more… I’ve recognized there are places that you can comment and it is OK and people like that.” Revealing your personality can open the door to missteps. Morgan says it’s always in the back of her mind and that despite her best preparation, there’s always a chance she’ll say something wrong or that it will be misinterpreted.

“You absolutely fear that something will come out the wrong way… Nobody wants to make a mistake and I certainly go on the air every night with the pursuit of perfection.” “You are being judged,” says Dutton. “Absolutely you are. You just learn to deal with that. You have to learn not to take yourself so seriously.” After 10 years in the business (seven at Global), the 33-year-old is proud of her confidence, something she thinks comes with being a parent. Just like life, there will always be people who don’t like you. The faster she accepted that reality, the better she became at her job. “Real problems are sick kids. I guess I just don’t sweat the small stuff as much. Having a family at

home, you realize what really matters.” Rustie Dean, who co-anchors Global Regina Morning News with Heather Anderson, says the three hours of live TV progresses quickly, especially when breaking news happens early. A former competitive figure skater, Dean wakes up three hours before the show’s 6 a.m. start time. Mistakes are bound to happen, something that makes her a bit nervous. “I always just hope that people can remember there’s three other hours and if that two minutes that maybe wasn’t my best — they’ll be a little bit kind and forgiving of that. We’re humans too and we might just have had a rough day.” Continued on Page 8

I didn’t want to bring too much personality to it for fear of being judged in a harsh way, but now I’ve loosened up more. — Morgan

THE SO-CALLED GLAMOUROUS LIFE

Morgan is petite but her voice is confident, strong, and has a television-friendly low pitch. She’s recognized everywhere she goes in Regina, but the self-described “girl from small town Saskatchewan” doesn’t think of herself as famous. “I just happen to have a job on TV, so it’s a little more high-profile.” Sitting comfortably on the sofa in the Global office’s sunny front room, Dutton crosses her long legs and rests her hands near the baby bump (she’s due in September) that ever-so-slightly protrudes from her classic white shift dress. She has a Jennifer Aniston look, but there is more to this woman than a pretty face. “People don’t become broadcasters because they’re beautiful people. They get into the industry because of the communication aspect,” she says. Dean says it’s frustrating when people comment on her appearance. A viewer once told her not to wear her hair in a bun because it doesn’t look good. “Of all the stories and stuff we’ve covered and how much we’ve been active in the community, you want to comment on a bun in my hair? I chose to be in TV, not because I want to do my hair and plaster on the makeup, but because I want to be a part of someone’s family,” says the jovial Dean, who has been on the show since it began in 2011. Of course, television favours those with good looks. As traditional news networks fight for ratings with specialty channels and Internet live streaming, the anchors’ physical appearance has become more important than ever. And fashions have changed. As Trish Cheveldayoff explains, it wasn’t always like this. “I am so old school. You will never see me with bare arms. That was what we were taught back then — never show bare arms, never wear too much jewelry — you don’t want the viewer distracted by what you’re wearing.” As for her hairstyle, it was called “the anchor bob” and was recom-

mended so as not to distract viewers while reading from scripts (in the days before Teleprompters.) “Now, they look like models,” she says with a laugh. The anchor of CTV Saskatoon Noon News remembers being the “token female” in the newsroom during her first television gig in Wingham, Ont. It was the early 1980s, in a crowded newsroom full of men smoking cigarettes, ashtrays overflowing beside their typewriters. “When I would come in at 3 o’clock, the men in the newsroom would stand up and notice me coming in. They would comment on what I was wearing or my perfume. It just makes me laugh because that wouldn’t happen today.”

There were men along the way who questioned her abilities as a journalist. She was given menial tasks to perform and was literally patted on the head. During her 34-year career, she’s had her share of missteps too. In 1981, she was reading a story about a man accused of shooting the Pope who said “I am Jesus Christ. I am omnipotent.” “I quoted him as saying, ‘I am Jesus Christ. I am impotent.’ The radio announcer on the other side of the glass is off his chair, he is laughing so hard. I didn’t correct myself, I just kept going. As a news anchor I’ve learned, when you really make mistakes like that, sometimes it’s best to just carry on and not even try.”

THE SOCIAL MEDIA EFFECT

Facebook and Twitter have truly made TV interactive. Dutton welcomes viewer feedback and takes suggestions seriously. Criticism allows her and the producers to adjust and make a better show. She says people are overwhelmingly positive. However, rude comments show up from time to time. Many in her profession ignore them. For downright rude ones, she’s found that tough. She re-Tweeted a crude comment once to her 1,680 followers and the backlash was immediate. Her supporters gave the culprit a public online spanking. “People need to realize that when they put something ignorant out there, that’s not going to me. That’s going to the world. I don’t think it’s OK to attack people on social media.” Cheveldayoff often questions the things people say. A man approached her at a festival several years ago: “He went on about how I was much plumper than I looked on TV. You would never comment to a man

about that.” At this point in her career, she’s able to brush it all off. Overall, people are supportive, something that was solidified for her when she had breast cancer in 2007. She was off the air for about a year. “People were amazing. I was getting cards and letters from complete strangers. And still to this day, people will stop me and ask me how I am. I’ve been pretty lucky.” “Overwhelmingly, we live in a city and in a province where people are really easy going and really supportive. I love how our viewers appreciate a little bit of humour and maybe not being so perfect all the time,” says Dutton. All four women are invested in their communities and are here to stay. Despite working in the public eye through life’s ups and downs, not one can imagine doing anything else. As Dean says, “Every day when I leave, I think ‘I can’t wait to come back to work.’ And that’s the biggest blessing.” WhenTrish Cheveldayoff started out, she was the only woman in the newsroom.

THE DUSTIN RITTER BAND

Busy four-piece rolls with the punches By Ashley Martin His name is Dustin Ritter, but you might not know it to hear him say it from a stage. “People mistake the band a lot when he announces it. Like yeah, the Dust and River band,” said Orin Paquette, lead guitarist for the Reginabased Dustin Ritter Band (DRB). “It’s sad that I settled for Dustin Ritter when we could have had all these golden names,” said Ritter. “I thought this would be the easiest band name of all time.” The guitarist and lead vocalist of his namesake band settled on the group’s moniker after “years and years of terrible band names,” the first of which was Menace to Sobriety in high school. Along that vein, the DRB’s new self-produced album is called Drunk and Drowning. The song of the same name is a tribute to a friend of Ritter’s who died in a car accident. It’s about “how you cope poorly with things sometimes.” It’s been a long time coming; recording started last spring and the lineup has since changed — Cyprian Henry is the new drummer and Jon Fearnside rounds things out on bass. Besides the fact that they all have day jobs, they all play in other bands as well, which drew out the process. Henry plays in Buffalo Narrows and they all play in Ink Road, with the exception of Paquette, who plays in the Slim City Pickers. “The trouble with playing with really good musicians is they’re busy, so you kind of roll with the punches,” said Ritter. Drunk and Drowning incorporates tinges of country, soul and funk, but its heart is rock. With influences like Tom Petty, The Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jimi Hendrix, “It’s pretty straitlaced rock and roll stuff,” said Paquette. Ritter, the primary songwriter, spends “a lot of time alone with an acoustic guitar,” building the bones of the songs. His bandmates put their

stamp on those designs, transforming songs with beats and solos. “If you’re playing with a good band, it’s easier to leave things more open for them to add stuff in,” said Ritter. “When you write a song on the guitar and you’ve played it a thousand times, just bare bones with acoustic and lyrics, it becomes pretty monotonous and dull,” added Paquette. “Even if you enjoy the song, you don’t

know where it should go from there. You just need a fresh set of ears ... and when you have three different instruments to add onto it, it can really change the way it sounds.” “But it has to be people you can trust,” said Ritter. Both Ritter and Paquette each got their start on piano — sort of. When Paquette was five, his piano teacher refused to teach him anymore.

“I just wouldn’t practise. And then the same thing happened when I was in Grade 8 — Saxophone,” said Paquette. When he was 15, Neil Young’s music inspired him to take up the guitar. “I think every young boy just wants to play guitar; your parents make you play piano first,” said Ritter, who came from a musical family growing up in Southey. His mom’s family, the Webers, had

a Partridge family-style band. “All the kids sang and my uncle played drums and my grandpa played guitar and my grandma sang,” said Ritter. “I always wanted to play guitar because I saw them playing guitar.” The Dustin Ritter Band is hosting a CD release party on June 7 at the German Club. You can also catch them most Tuesdays at Bocados, where they host a weekly jam night.

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

At what age can a child decide his or her bedtime?

“My boys are young (9, 8 and 6), so they have no choice. They’re ready for bed by 8 p.m., lights out by 8:30. On weekends and special occasions, they get to stay up a bit later, but ultimately its up to us, the parents. While they are under our roof they live by our rules, although I understand with time comes change — so the older and more responsible they get the more perks they receive, like later curfews or sleep overs.” — Adele Bandet “I think when they are in their mid to late teens, if I could be in charge of what time they woke up.” — Shelly Lambert “I think once a child reaches 12, then we can negotiate a bedtime. But make up their own, probably not!” — Alysia Czmuchalek “Thankfully my boys are nowhere near the time of making their own bedtime. I think once a child is able to independently get themselves up in the morning, without someone nagging at them, their bedtime can start being relaxed. My parents always had a set number of minimum hours they

expected that I had for sleep each night, which gave me the flexibility as a kid to alter my bedtime a few hours in each direction while allowing me to feel like I was in charge of it when in reality we really know they did!” — Michelle Grodecki “I don’t think it’s a good idea until high school. Children need a routine and more sleep is better for soooo many things. Not enough sleep can lead to obesity, poor grades, etc. I have this bad feeling that if my daughter got to choose when she could go to bed, she’d be up later than me!!” — Chera Miller “When he or she starts paying rent. I guess it would depend on the maturity of the child and his/her respect for other family members in the home.” — Carla Contreras “I would say that by age 12 a child should be able to determine when they should be going to bed. If it is not kept within reason then it would be the parents job to take that right back.” — Nikki Melnyk

Prairie oysters part of Saskatchewan identity By Jenn Sharp Prairie oysters are a unique delicacy in Saskatchewan. They’re not found on restaurant menus and if you’re from the city, you’ve probably never tasted them. Well, you don’t know what you’re missing. Get out there and secure yourself an invitation to a cattle roundup. That’s what I did recently, but not with the sole purpose of trying bull calves’ testicles. During the May long weekend, I was invited to the annual roundup at Bosch’s Ranch, near Fox Valley in southwestern Saskatchewan. Situated in rolling sand hills full of sage brush, the 20,000-acre ranch is home to about 350 head of cattle. Every year, family, friends and neighbours (about 60 this year) descend on the ranch to help with the roundup. At the end of the day, everyone enjoys a feast of the ranch’s beef roasts, salads, homemade buns and enough desserts for an army. It’s all washed down with enough beer for that army too. The bowl of prairie oysters is usually the first to be emptied. To start the day, horses are saddled and the cowboys/girls ride out to bring in the cows and their new calves. The calves are separated and kept in a large pen. Six horse and rider teams start the process by roping a calf. Two people wrestle the calf to the ground. One secures his head, the other his hind legs while the calf is vaccinated, branded and ear-tagged. The males are also castrated (a procedure I was surprised to learn is relatively simple). Minutes later, the calf is released with the rest of the herd. During the castration, the testicles are dropped in a bucket of salt water and taken into the kitchen, where the outer skin is peeled. Some pound the testicles flat before dipping them first in egg, then in flour, pepper and salt before frying. The end result is a somewhat greasy little morsel that looks more like a dumpling than a ball.

The children had the most fun of anyone the day of the round-up. Many were riding the horses and practising their calf-roping techniques.

A unique delicacy in Saskatchewan, prairie oysters are calves’ testicles that have been rolled in egg, flour, salt and pepper, then fried.

Several horse and rider pairs, like Alan Bosch pictured here, worked all day roping calves in the pen. BRIDGES PHOTOS BY JENN SHARP

I don’t have anything with which to compare the taste. These were comparable to fatty chicken. The taste of the breading was what came through the strongest. They’re very high in

cholesterol and that fact alone kept me from eating more than two. It was also thinking about what I was eating that steered me away from the prairie oyster bowl on the

buffet line. The mind can play powerful tricks and mine wasn’t all that excited about eating balls. While I don’t think I’ll eat them again, at least I can say I tried. While there’s nothing uniquely Saskatchewan about prairie oysters, the name is most definitely our own claim to fame. They’re consumed in countries all over the world and called any number of things.

In Brazil, “bagos de boi” (ox balls) is the term. In other parts of South America and Mexico, it’s “criadillas” (or huevos de toro — literally, bulls’ eggs). In Alberta’s cattle country, they’re called Rocky Mountain oysters. I’ve heard them called “cowboy caviar” and “bull fries” too. All I can say is that any good, selfrespecting prairie girl (or boy) owes it to herself to try them at least once.

Artisans showcase work at two events

By Edna Manning Art and craft enthusiasts will want to stay in Saskatoon this weekend. The province’s finest handcrafted works will be on sale at an outdoor show at River Landing June 8 at the WaterFront Craft Art Festival. The Saskatchewan Craft Council (SCC), in partnership with Affinity Credit Union, is showcasing about 50 talented craft artists, including six new and emerging artists. The main areas of craft represented will include glass, wood, metal, fibre and clay. “Each marketer has undergone a rigorous jury process by the SCC to ensure only the highest quality product is featured,” says Amanda Bosiak, SCC member services co-ordinator. “We’re excited to have some emerging artists this year such as Lynne Cornish-Braun and Lorraine Cornish. Lynne is a leather worker and Lorraine does elaborate seedbeaded jewelry.”

The crafting community is in a great position to take advantage of movements such as shopping locally and DIY. In some instances, artists are reinventing traditional forms of craft, perhaps with new materials and new ideas. Live craft demonstrations will take place throughout the day. Artists Michael Peterson and Patrick Bulas with the Ink Slab Printmakers will be demonstrating woodcuts, linocuts and intaglio and silk screening. Glass artist Elaina Adams with the Saskatoon Glassworkers’ Guild will have a presentation on making fused glass art, while members of the Saskatchewan Chapter of the western Canadian Blacksmiths’ Guild will be providing hands-on opportunities for the public to participate in coppersmithing. “When people see the effort that’s involved in making crafts they come to have a better understanding of the level of skill and the work required

to create a beautiful object,” says Bosiak. Visitors to the festival will appreciate meeting the artists and chatting with them about their work. And the exposure for the artists is huge as well. “It’s just as important for them to get feedback directly from the public about their work as it is about making sales. Artists appreciate knowing what the public likes about their work and perhaps what they like to see them do different. It’s like research and development all at once,” she adds. Saskatoon Lindy Hop, a local swing dancing group, will be giving swing dancing demonstrations and classes throughout the day. Bosiak says it’s important to have a cultural crossover between craft and art. “Swing dancing is a craft and a skill in its own way,” she says. WaterFront will coincide with the Art Trek Studio Discovery Tour, an

annual in-city artists’ studio tour. The goal of the tour is to promote local artists and give the public a chance to see artists in the process of creating their works. The public can also participate in demonstrations. This year, there will be eight participating art studios around the city involving over 60 local artists. Saskatoon Cycles will also lead guided cycle tours to each site. The sites include the Men Who Paint, Studio 5, The Mix Artist Collective, 330 Design Group, Artists’ Workshop, Textile Arts Group, St.

George Studio and Attelier 2302. The Art Trek Studio Discovery Tour takes place June 7 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and June 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, phone Nicki Ault at 306-652-6404 or visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ArtTrekSaskatoon. The WaterFront Craft Art Festival will be held at River Landing, Spadina Crescent East on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

M Y FAV O U R I T E P L A C E

A sense of community at francophone centre By Angelina Irinici You may know the name Alexis Normand from a recent flub at the Memorial Cup, but there are many things you probably don’t know about the francophone singer. Normand has been involved in music since she was a toddler, recorded her first demo at the age of 15 and studied music education and songwriting in Ontario and Quebec. She’s released a full-length album, recently finished a sevenmonth tour and will be on tour again in the fall. She sings in both French and English, is heavily involved in Saskatoon’s francophone community and her favourite place in Saskatoon is Le Relais, a community centre for Saskatoon’s francophones.

Q: What is your connection to Le Relais? A: It’s the meeting place for the francophone community. This is the place I come to kind of keep tabs and see what’s going on with friends that I grew up with and went to school with or worked with before. And it’s a cool place because you get a good snapshot of the francophone community when you come here. You have people bringing their families here and eating a poutine and other people just having a drink after work. So, it’s an intergenerational place. The francophone community organizes concerts and meetings and all kinds of things, so those are all activities that I participated in as I grew up. It’s moved from different locations in Saskatoon. Finally, it has a real home and it’s been renovated. Q: What’s your involvement with the francophone community? A: I try to be as involved as I can. I moved away from Saskatoon when I was going to university. I remember when I came home after six years of studying I thought, ‘OK I want to contribute the new knowledge and skills that I have back to the community that raised me.’ When I was younger I would participate in lots of

francophone music workshops and recorded my first demo when I was 15 because of the francophone community. It kind of gave me the appetite to do some writing for a career, so when I moved back, I (decided) I was going to give the workshops and work with young people. I do a lot of workshops with younger musicians. I do artistic direction and musical direction.

Q: How does Le Relais relate to your music? A: I think it’s symbolic because the French community really nurtures young artists and provides experiences that will help them grow in their careers. I’ve played at the Relais when I was in high school. I feel like I’ve played here as I’ve developed throughout my career, so I guess it represents that. I feel very supported from the franco-

phone community.

Q: What’s your favourite thing about Le Relais? A: The way it’s been renovated (because of the volunteers). I know the guy who put the flooring in. He does this for a living, but he came in and did it for free. It’s such a symbolic place for me because it’s where people get together but also that we contribute

to it in our own way. Whether it’s me performing or people painting or installing windows or whatever. People are in it for the community and it’s where I feel community. It’s easy as an artist to be isolated and feel alone, but to have a place like this, where I can come and think, ‘No, no, no I’m part of a bigger thing and I’m contributing to something that’s bigger than me,’ that’s great.

ASK ELLIE

Is it time to sever ties with meddling sister-in-law? Q: My sister-in-law always calls my husband to complain about me, also convinces our three kids to do things that we don’t agree with, and constantly tries to insult me to my family. I’ve tried to talk to her about this, however she continues to do it. She’ll go out partying during the week, sleep downtown and come home the next day, leaving her husband and son at home. She’ll challenge me in front of my daughter, “What can you do if she gets a tattoo?” She knows we’re set against tattoos. I sent her a text about this, but she denied any wrongdoing, said these are just my opinions and she doesn’t want to deal with me any longer. I said that’s fine, that my husband and I and our kids keep nothing from each other and if I hear any more negative comments I’ll let her know. What would you do? Fed Up SIL A: I’d feel delighted that the contact is over. I’d explain to my children

Ask Ellie

that their aunt is jealous or bitter for her own reasons, not because of anything we did. I’d say though that’s a shame for her, but she’s an adult, and undermining our family is NOT acceptable. I’d ask my husband to talk to his sister one more time, in a caring way, and ask if she’s troubled about anything she’d like to talk about. If not, or she raises the same old stuff, he’s to say he’s sorry but he can’t allow the backbiting to continue so that’s it for contact. Lastly — I’d tell myself — that’s YOU in this case — to stop feeding on this stuff too.

Q: Several years ago, a group of girls turned their backs on me because their ringleader was unjustly angry with me. Since this happened, I’ve had a great deal of anxiety and avoid many social situations where they might be. Intellectually, I know it wasn’t my fault, yet I’m always anxious. I think I’m moving on somewhat, just can’t understand why I’m still like this now. Shunned A: You were shaken up by their unfair exclusion. But it said more about them — weak followers, without personal integrity — than about you. Now YOU can make the stronger statement of who you are, by showing you’re over it. Walk into a room with confidence, take a pal/relative along if needed, nod at the girls rather than avert your eyes, and walk on. If you end up near any of them, look them in the eye, and keep moving. The message you need to convey is that

you have moved on, and they’re not worth your worry. If you can’t do this yet, don’t go. Not out of fear, but for the practical reason…. why bother? COMMENTARY: I recently got divorced after two years’ separation. He was already involved with somebody; I have not yet dated. Although I’m coming out of my depressed state and moving on, I’m still not ready. I’m re-discovering who I am, what I want out of life and what type of man I’d want to date. I don’t know what the future holds, but I’ll live day to day with no expectations. I like coming and going as I please, wearing what I want, and not having to dress up to please “the man.” I’m pleasing ME! I think people should not jump from one relationship to the next. After all, you’re just replacing one bad relationship with another whole set of problems.

Q: My partner of 15 years attends Gestalt Therapy classes. At year’s end, the students go to a lakeside therapy camp. She told me she’d taken off her dress while dancing, as part of her school performance there. She wore only bra and panties. She knew I’d be hurt and disapprove. I feel it’s wrong and not normal to expose yourself like that. It’s sexual in nature, which I believed was between only us. Have I overreacted by asking her to leave? Gestalt Turmoil A: Yes. At a lake, she likely wore a bathing suit to swim. Underwear covers the same body parts. While somewhat sexual in nature, stripping off outerwear isn’t uncommon in performance expression. Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the person’s experience in the present moment. She may have been expressing freedom from others’ controls — yours, for example. She told you about it. You overreacted instead of discussing her message.

Loca l AUT H O RS: Writers tell us what makes their books worth reading

Douglas De Long

Probing past lives puts today in perspective Have you ever wondered if you’ve lived before? As a past-life therapist with over 20 years experience, I’ve worked with many people who’ve explored that very question and it changed their lives. Explore your previous lifetimes, embrace your wondrous past and recognize that you, as a human soul, are eternal. Past Lives for Beginners: A Guide to Reincarnation and Techniques to Improve Your Present Life (Llewellyn Worldwide, June 2013) is a detailed and approachable introduction to understanding reincarnation and how it impacts your present life. Using fascinating case studies, I describe different types of past life recall experiences and share favoured techniques of medi-

tation and visualization used to gain access to those memories. With guidance on how to connect with spirit guides and religious figures, this book also discusses future lives and how to work toward smooth life transitions. It also includes resources for finding past-life therapists to help you understand your history and forgive past transgressions. I am a past-life therapist, chakra master, medical intuitive, counsellor and spiritual teacher/author. I’ve also written Ancient Teachings for Beginners and Ancient Healing Techniques, both published by Llewellyn Worldwide. With my wife Carol, we operate the De Long Ancient Mystery School in Saskatoon. www.douglasdelong.com

Kopke White Port

You won’t regret buying this 30-year-old port By James Romanow A few decades ago, a date’s father introduced me to white port. He was a Portuguese immigrant of course, and a remarkably genial man — most of my girlfriends’ fathers treated me like a serial killer and suspected me of harbouring dark desires on their daughters’ chastity. Ever since his treating me to the stuff, I’ve kept a bottle on hand. It makes a great quick cocktail, with soda and a slice, a fabulous poaching fluid (particularly for pork) and is the perfect ingredient in marinades. Although it is sniffed at as insufficiently inspiring when compared to tawny or vintage port, it is also a remarkably fine drink in its own right. All of this makes it a very reasonably priced ingredient to keep in your fridge. Recently, Kopke listed a 30-year-old version here. If ever there was a challenge to sniffing wine snobs, this is it. This wine is absolutely stunning. Incredibly sweet, it has more acidity than tawny port and less of the candied fruit flavours. The bouquet is slightly nutty and, needless to say, it goes wonderfully with pistachios or almonds. It also does surprisingly well when drunk with black olives. Although it works as a tapas accompaniment, I tend to enjoy it more as a pure dessert wine all by itself. It has just enough brawn to keep me

engaged and is smooth enough and rich enough to pamper my inner child. If you’ve never had a white port, pick up a bottle, ice it and enjoy. If you think you’re ready for the adult version, blow some cash on the 30-year-old. There are few wines in the world as satisfying as this Kopke version.
