oksana kishchuk

Student raises $25,000 for African school By Angelina Irinici Free The Children co-founder Craig Keilburger and Saskatoon teen Oksana Kishchuk have a lot in common. Both were 12 years old when they got inspired to travel across the globe to help other children. Both raised half of the money for their trips and both found chaperones to take them. Three trips, five years and three fundraisers later, Kishchuk has raised about $25,000 for an all-boys school in Kenya. Her efforts haven’t gone unnoticed — she was recently awarded the Association of Fundraising Professionals Saskatoon Chapter’s Outstanding Youth in Philantrhopy Award at a luncheon on National Philanthropy Day. She also spoke about her experiences with Free The Children at Saskatoon’s We Day in front of more than 15, 000 kids. When Kishchuk was in Grade 7, she went to TCU Place and heard Keilburger speak about his organization. Free the Children is an international charity that educates children in developed countries to help other children through sustainable development programs. Keilburger inspired her but she was also devastated learning about global poverty. “I could go somewhere and change someone’s life; it really impacted me,” Kishchuk says of Keilburger’s talk. She got to work right away by setting up her first bank account. She put everything she had into it and added a restriction that wouldn’t allow her to withdraw money. Christmas and birthday money went directly into the account and two years later she saved enough for half of an 11-day trip to Kenya with the Me to We social enterprise (also co-founded by Keilburger.) “I feel like I’ve always been the kind of person if it’s something I really want do I’m really determined and won’t stop until I’m done,” says the 17-year-old Walter Murray stu-

dent. Plus, she wanted to prove that she could reach her goal of helping other children. In 2011, off she went to Kenya, where she helped build a school and learned about the culture. Kishchuk went on to do similar work this summer. She travelled to India (this time with her family) and went back to Kenya on a PotashCorp Youth Scholarship. On her first trip to Kenya she heard of a conversation someone had with a young boy who was studying at one of Free The Children’s primary schools. The boy said after he graduates he planned on going on

to Kisaruni (an all-girls secondary school). The boy was reminded that the school is for girls only and he responded by saying, “I know — but I also know that Free The Children won’t forget about the boys.” This conversation prompted Kishchuk to help raise money for the all-boys’ secondary school. A group of people from around North America are raising $1.2 million for the school. Land has been purchased near the Maasai reserve in southern Kenya and the school is expected to be built in the next two years. Kishchuk has donated about $25,000 through fundraising efforts

she’s held in Saskatoon. She’s put on a perogy dinner and two concerts so far. The second annual Sounds of Hope concert was in early November and Kishchuk had a list of performers including the world renowned Kenyan Boys Choir. She raised over $10,000 at the event. Free The Children’s manager of donor engagement Nadia Humayun says Kishchuk is incredibly humble and often forgets that she’s still in high school. “She’s literally an all-star. When people talk about a shining example of philanthropy and a youth giving

back, that would be her in every regard,” Humayun says. Kishchuk plans to go to university when she graduates in the spring. She’s not sure where she wants to study, but she is sure that she wants to continue doing activism work abroad. Her ideal world is one that focuses on education. “I believe in education for everyone. When you give someone education or knowledge no one can ever take that away from them. If everyone in the world could get an education then I think it could fix all the other problems that we have and empower everyone.”

m y favourite place

Ukrainian dancer has spent 25 years at studio

Luba Wojcichowsky spends 10 hours a week rehearsing at her favourite place in Saskatoon, Yevshan’s dance studio in St. Thomas Wesley Church. Bridges photo by Michelle Berg

By Angelina Irinici For the past 25 years Luba Wojcichowsky has been spending time at her favourite place in Saskatoon: Yevshan’s dance studio in St. Thomas Wesley Church. Yevshan Ukrainian Folk Ballet Ensemble is a local Ukrainian dance group that has been in existence for over 50 years and performs around 2030 times per year. Wojcichowsky spends nearly 10 hours a week at the studio rehearsing and spending time with life-long friends she’s made while dancing. As she’s been going to the studio since she was five years old, it’s a space that’s very dear to her heart.

Q. Why is the studio space special to you? A. Yevshan dances three nights a week and when we have a performance it’s usually four or five times a week. It’s usually three and a half hours at least, so you kind of get used to the people and the smells and the sounds of this place. It’s like home. When I’m stressed out I come here and I feel fine and when I’m having a rough day — or a good day — this place sort of grounds me. Q. What is it about Ukrainian dance that’s kept you doing it for so long? A. All my best friends dance with Yevshan, so it’s sort of coming out and hanging out with your friends

three nights a week. And it’s a good workout, and there’s nothing better than performing — whether it’s your family and friends in Saskatoon or abroad — people always appreciate it.

Q. It sounds like you’ve made really great relationships here. A. I’ve been dancing for a long time so I’ve seen friends come and go but we’re all really tight. We’re like one big family. We go through big ups and big downs and we’re all here for each other. I see my artistic director more than I see my husband (laughs). Q. What does being Ukrainian mean to you?

A. It’s just my identity. It lets me know who I am and (who my) ancestors are. Everything I do every day has something to do with my culture. Ukrainian dance is a way for me to always be experiencing and practising it. Q. What’s your favourite memory of the studio? A. A couple of years ago we had a big show (the 50th anniversary show) and we brought in an orchestra from Ukraine and they set up shop in here with us. It was sort of crowed, but to have a live orchestra playing when we were dancing was amazing. Lots of dance companies in Ukraine will have someone play-

ing an instrument during bar or during their exercises and we had a whole seven piece orchestra here playing for us.

Q. What’s your favourite thing about the space? A. Since I’ve been coming here since I was five, it looks the same but it looks different; it just changes a little bit every year. I have distinct memories of when I was five and being in the exact same space. It’s got this old school feel like the curtains and it’s dusty but it’s awesome. Our blood sweet and tears are in the floor, but there were definitely a lot of laughs and proud moments and great times there too.

Teen dances his way to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet

Saskatoon ballet dancer Keaton Leier was recently accepted into the professional division of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Bridges photo by Michelle Berg

By Angelina irinici It’s Monday morning, and while most of us haven’t started our work day, Keaton Leier is warming up for ballet class. Before the weekend he’ll already have danced nearly 20 hours, and he still has rehearsals on Saturday. Evenings and weekends

are reserved for homework, FaceTime with his parents and sometimes night rehearsals. Sunday, he’ll go shopping with friends, or go to the movies and grab a bite to eat. Keaton, 17, was recently accepted into the professional division of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet (RWB). He is part of the ballet academic

program, which runs in conjunction with a regular school calendar. The full-time program is for dancers who want to become professionals; they get intensive training from world-renown instructors while still focusing on academics. The RWB is partnered with the University of Winnipeg, so Keaton will earn his

Grade 12 diploma at the end of the year. Keaton has been dancing for almost 10 years. He started in hip hop at age eight, moved to jazz, then found his way to ballet. By the time he was a teenager he had danced virtually every style at Brenda’s School of Baton and Dance. He travelled as

well, to places like Vancouver and L.A. for dance camps and conventions. “Those things motivated me to start loving dance more, and I found it inside me,” Keaton explains over the phone from his dorm room at the RWB. “Then I realized that’s what I wanted to do.”

As a male dancer, you are a minority and you could be a target but we’ve never had any issues. — Cindy Leier

He tried other activities: horseback riding, gymnastics, basketball and hockey, to name a few. It was dancing that really stuck. “It’s just how I live now. It’s basically my life, really. It’s basically everything,” he says. Keaton speaks softly. His voice matches his kind and gentle demeanour. His family calls him “mouse.” Dad Tim says if you saw Keaton as a baby, you’d understand — he had a sharp nose and big eyes. He admits he can be too hard on himself. and he has a hard time talking about his strengths as a dancer. It’s almost as if he doesn’t like the spotlight, but when he dances, that changes. He commands attention with his confidence, strength and obvious talent. He’s like lots of teens — he loves spending time at the lake, playing with his dog and being with his friends. But his senior year of high school will be a lot different from other students. Thanksgiving weekend was one of the few times he’ll get to see his family

this year. “I’m a little bit stiff after two days of no dancing,” Keaton explains as he walks around the living room on his toes. Keaton’s mom Cindy has been preparing dinner. The table is already set, the fireplace is on; it’s like walking into an exquisite home decor store. On a rustic-looking shelf is a large gold decoration that spells out FAMILY. “I tried to trick him into sports,” Tim says from a chair in the corner of the family’s large kitchen. “Oh, so many times,” Keaton sighs, smiling. “He finally said to his dad, ‘Dad, I’m never going to be a hockey player. I hate hockey,’” Cindy explains. “I was, like, four,” Keaton adds. “Plus he gets his hockey fix from my brother.” Keaton’s older brother Taylor is captain of the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks.

It took Keaton one day of hockey to realize it wasn’t for him. He liked skating, and the orange jerseys, his mom jokes. But he’d rather do jetés and plies than fight for a puck. “The objective isn’t to make a good hockey player. The objective is to make a good kid — regardless of their interests,” Tim says. Although Tim’s a hockey nut, he’s incredibly proud of Keaton’s dancing. Tim says he was never resistant to the idea of his youngest son taking dance class. “Not at all,” he says. “I just thought, ‘That’s

within him.’ That’s the area that he wanted to go in.” He gets emotional when he recalls his “jockey-jock” type brothers seeing Keaton perform for the first time — his solo brought them all to tears. “Tim’s one of the most supportive fathers I’ve ever met,” says ballet director Michelle Fracchia-West of Brenda’s School of Baton and Dance. Both parents picked Keaton up from ballet class, and both were supportive of all of Keaton’s endeavours as a dancer, she says.

When he did that, it was that moment when you know you have someone very special that you’re going to be working with for a long period of time. — Michelle Fracchia-West

When Keaton got older and started high school, his parents admit they were a bit concerned with him being a male dancer at that age. They prepared him for anything that may come his way. “As a male dancer, you are a minority and you could be a target but we’ve never had any issues,” Cindy explains, adding that he has supportive friends who made it easy. Tim brings up a time when he was blown away with his son’s courage. When Keaton was new to high school in Grade 9, he and a small group performed a dance routine during a pep rally in front of the entire school. He didn’t care what others thought — he was a dancer and proud of it. Keaton is always dancing, at home, at school, wherever. He has to. “I’m honestly not really myself when I’m not dancing,” he says. “It’s true,” Cindy adds. “He gets grumpy.” One of his school teachers wrote a letter to the family after Keaton left her class. She said what she’d miss most about Keaton was his twirling and dancing around the classroom. “Even having a conversation with him at home, I’m like, ‘Keaton could you just stand still please?’ He’s doing his hip hop moves and a twirl and I’m like, ‘OK focus on what I’m telling you,’” Cindy says. “It’s just who he is. Dance is everything; it’s him.” ■

■

When it comes to genes, Keaton is a natural dancer. He’s tall, balanced and handsome — all important attributes for a male ballet dancer, says RWB’s Roman Rykine, an artistic faculty member of the RWB’s professional division. He was part of the group that selected Keaton. Keaton has a strong jump, good coordination and great ballet intelligence — meaning he understands what the teacher wants and can make the corrections. “In my opinion, he was by far the best out of that group. If I would have to guess, he’d have a better chance to be successful in the profession,” says Rykine. Even at a young age Keaton took

instruction well, Brenda Bennett, director at Brenda’s School of Baton and Dance remembers. “He was one of those kids that you can see in their eyes that they take in everything you’re saying and are applying it. He was totally focused.” Bennett kept telling Fracchia-West about “this boy who got a really high mark on his jazz exam.” “After seeing him for a few minutes I said, ‘We have to get him into ballet somehow. I’m doing this Cinderella number and I could sure use a Prince Charming,’” Fracchia-West explains. She approached Keaton and Cindy about the idea, but Keaton wasn’t sure. He was 12 years old and really

didn’t want to wear ballet tights. But he slowly came around and starting going to ballet once a week. “Right after hip hop, he’d come to the one ballet class with sweatpants, bare feet and big, baggy T-shirts,” Fracchia-West says. It’s her fondest memory of Keaton. Over the next five years, Keaton excelled dramatically and moved up in the age groups quickly. In the last two years at the studio, Cindy remembers him being at the studio from after school until late at night. During his one-hour break she’d rush him home for dinner. There was one moment when Fracchia-West knew that Keaton was going to be a great ballet dancer. She

taught him a very complex combination and when he returned to class the next week, he had it perfected. “When he did that, it was that moment when you know you have someone very special that you’re going to be working with for a long period of time.” She says it felt very natural to teach Keaton — he was incredibly hard-working, brought “life and passion” to the ballet classes and he had Fracchia-West’s “Three A’s”: aptitude, attitude and ability. But Keaton was, and still is, his worst critic. “One of the biggest challenges in teaching him is that he’s an extreme perfectionist,” she explains. “He doesn’t realize the potential that’s

in there. He’s got to unleash that. He will eventually unleash it one day.” ■ ■ ■ ■ Bennett and Fracchia-West encouraged Keaton to audition for the RWB in the summer of 2012. The audition process is intense and seems never ending. Between 600 and 800 dancers audition each year to get into the RWB’s Professional Division and of those dancers, 100 are asked to compete in a month-long audition in the summer. Both new and returning dancers make up around 180 dancers who compete for the 100 spots during the July audition. Continued on Page 13

“It was really nerve-wrecking for me, because you never want to hear no. It was my first real audition for something,” Keaton explains. Luckily, he didn’t have to hear no. But the RWB did. Keaton declined the offer. The timing wasn’t right and getting a good education is important to the family (if he doesn’t end up dancing, he’d like to become a vet). Declining the spot was risky if Keaton wanted to audition the following year. Plus, he was already late to the party. Rykine explains that 17 is a late age to start. It would have been ideal if Keaton were training professionally at 11. Since Keaton started late, he has a bit of catching up to do, Rykine explains. Fortunately, he’s a quick learner and a hard worker. Rykine adds that Keaton handles the pressure and workload well. Both Bennett and Fracchia-West were adamant in their answers that they were not afraid that Keaton wouldn’t get in a second time.

“He’s got everything going for him; really good feet, super flexibility, a nice turnout. He’s going to be tall. He’s absolutely everything they’d want,” Bennett says. Although the workload is strenuous and he’s away from his friends and family, Keaton is happy where he is. “I realized how beneficial it’s going to be for my career and I’m really happy with the decision and I’m proud I got to make it,” he says. Between dance class, the four academic classes he’s taking, plus homework and extra rehearsal, Keaton says he’s learning self-discipline and responsibility. Everyone agrees he will no doubt be a professional dancer in whatever aspect he chooses. While Keaton is mastering his craft, everyone else is anxiously holding their breath to see where he’ll end up. “People can’t wait to see him on stage,” Bennett says.

east of Eden

Couple creates sparks with new band By Angelina Irinici Alexandra Thomson and Justin Pelan have Kijiji to thank for two major things in their lives: their relationship and their band. Both moved to Saskatoon for university and met in 2010 through a Kijiji ad Thomson posted looking for a musician to jam with. The ad intrigued Pelan and soon a romance budded and a band got started. East of Eden was born this past summer after the two felt they had performed enough covers and were ready to harness their own sound. Haunting, dark and passionate are how the duo describes their music, which they say is a combination of folk, pop, indie and jazz. And it all comes from an honest place. “Music writing acts as my therapy. I’m not somebody who really expresses or deals with negative emotions but that comes out through song writing. I think that’s why it’s so dark because it’s inspired by dark emotions,” Thomson says. The band’s name follows suit. The two explain that the biblical reference East of Eden means paradise lost. Thomson explains their music reflects that humanity will always be flawed and that the “dark, elegant and crispness” of the name matches how the two sound. They’ve written and recorded five songs, plan to release an album and hopefully tour nationwide. Their first single, She Cries Beauty, is complete with a video and was released in September. They’ve played a few gigs in Saskatoon and Regina, including the Regina Jazz Festival. The duo has something else in common aside from music — both are studying engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. They find a few similarities between the two: for Pelan it’s the repetition and structure; for Thomson it’s the release. “Math was sort of also this therapy where I would practise and concentrate so hard it would sort of take me out of reality and I was able to just let

go, and I feel the same thing happens with music. Math and music are a universal language.” Both want to make livings as engineers and music as East of Eden. “How cool would it be to earn a month of holidays … and instead of a holiday make it a tour? That’s a dream,” Pelan says. “I don’t want to be making music to try to make money. I feel like that could take away from the creativity and realness of who I am within the

music,” Thomson adds. Pelan is from Edmonton and Thomson from Regina and Carry the Kettle First Nation. Both were exposed to music as children. Pelan grew up listening to Eric Clapton around his house and when he got his first pair of headphones when he was 12, he’d lock himself in his room and listen to music. He didn’t pick up his first guitar until he was 17, but after he did, he never put it down. Thomson’s mother was in a band that often went on tour.

Thomson knew she could sing but hid her talent until she was 16. She sang for her mom who put her into vocal lessons and shows including Regina’s Applause Dinner Theatre. Now, the two practise together a couple of times of week. Being in a relationship and a band can cause a bit of friction, but for the most part it’s only positive. “It’s like a second life to our relationship,” Pelan says. “Some of those deeper emotions

come out and I’m comfortable expressing those with Justin because he’s so close to me,” Thomson explains, adding that arguments can arise if one person makes a mistake or isn’t pulling their weight in the band. “We’re in a relationship not just a musical partnership. I think being in a close relationship the band will last a lot longer.” “I haven’t actually heard those words spoken, so I’m pleased,” Pelan smiles.

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

How do you make sure you’re not spoiling your child? “There is a difference between spoiled and spoiled rotten.” — Nicole M. via Twitter “Ask yourself this: What is your best childhood memory of Christmas? And answer it before you read on. Most people answer this question with an experience or a person. My favorite memory of Christmas was tobogganing with all my cousins at my grandma’s farm. Not many people answer this question with the time that they received a certain gift. Now, what does that tell us? It’s not the gifts that really matter, it’s the love and experience. Just this lesson alone has taught me to scale down the gifts and to focus on giving your love and time.” — Shelley Stahl Heuchert “The children are taught to be thankful for what they have, and are encouraged to donate clothes and toys that they no longer use to kids that don’t have anything.” — Carla Contreras “I will admit, I spoil my little five-year-old a bit... this is the period in his life when Christmas is the most magical! I love that he ‘believes’ in Santa! We have so much fun with that! However, this is also a great age and opportunity to teach your kids about helping out less fortunate families. The generosity and compassion of kids always surprises me. Ask your child to donate something off their Christmas list to a child who doesn’t have many toys... I bet you they will!” — Lisa D. “If our kids start to not act happy or interested when they receive something, we just stop giving them things. This is when we do more home made crafts and games to pass the time. You can never spoil your kids by loving them too much.” — Alysia Czmuchalek “Every time children ask for something you do not have to give in. Treats and special events should be in moderation or otherwise they start expecting it all the time.” — Crystal Robertson “It’s hard not to spoil my boys but the big thing for

Mars ke me is to make sure I don’t always give them what they want…that’s what grandparents are for!” — Michelle Grodecki “Every year we try to book a yearly weeklong ski trip to Panorama Ski Village during the February break. My boys are well aware of how costly that can be so when we ask them if they would rather have lavish, expensive gifts or the family ski trip, they always pick the ski trip! They don’t go without by any means but Christmas gifts usually are essential items that they need down the road anyway, such as clothes, shoes, jackets or items for the upcoming ski trip. I also found that because of this, they look more forward to all the family coming together for a big gathering. My youngest always tells me this is the best part about Christmas!” — Treena W. “Simple. Say ‘NO’ and stick to it. Love and attention were always shared freely, but when it came to having the best games and toys around, we refused to keep up with the Joneses.” — Judy S. “Honestly I do think that we spoil our children a little too much. My kids have too many toys and we take them to a lot of places. We try to balance this out with ensuring they help with chores around the house and that they do their school work, however I still think they are spoiled much more then we were because that is the world we now live in.” — Nikki Melnyk

New space offers students lunch and relaxation By Angelina Irinici Who? James Haywood, Louis’ food and beverage manager at Louis’ Loft. Where? On the second floor of the Memorial Union Building on the University of Saskatchewan campus. What? What used to be Browsers Café — a coffee shop and used bookstore — has been extensively renovated and turned into Louis’ Loft. Part of the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union (USSU), Louis’ Loft is a licensed coffee shop by day and an event venue, complete with catering, by night. The large space boasts plenty of natural light, a large bar and a new menu featuring locally sourced booze, baking and coffee. Although unique paninis, sandwiches and salads are featured on the menu (Haywood’ favourite part), you can still order from Louis’ pub downstairs. The space is meant to accommodate students who want to take a lunch or coffee break and sit for a while to study or chat. There is ample seating and a cozy yet modern feel. The space is also available to book catered events from 30-250 people for weddings and Christmas parties, to student events. Why? Book sales at Browsers had taken a “nose dive,” so staff found a need to change the space. It offers students a place to go when Louis’ is closed for events and concerts. “There aren’t very many places for students to chill out and use their laptops and just relax in a nice atmosphere,” Haywood says. When envisioning the space, staff wanted a “warm, neutral type of updated modern space.” But something that was also conducive to hosting events, so designing a café and event space at the same time had its challenges. When? The space closed at the end of last year’s school term and about $75,000 was spent renovating the space. It first opened during summer classes in June; Louis’ Loft threw a full launch party earlier this month. How? The USSU contracted the same architecture firm that renovated Place Riel to help with the design and renovation. The whole space was gutted — only the fireplace and windows are original to the building. “(The fireplace) is one thing we had to keep intact because it’s been there forever. We didn’t want to ruin that for anyone.” Because the space is used for events, the colour palette was kept neutral. Browns and greys were debated, finally settling on grey to keep a contemporary look.

Moh Yusuf:

Small accessories make a big difference By Angelina Irinici Moh Yusuf moved from the U.K. to Saskatoon just over three months ago for a job transfer in geotechnical engineering. He finds the city “lovely, friendly, obviously cold,” and the fashion laid-back. He says he spots many well-dressed people around the city and it’s clear people put an effort into fashion, but admits that the style is quite different here in Saskatchewan compared to London, England. Yusuf began paying more attention to fashion when he was in university. He said he’d spend hours in the dressing room trying to find the perfect fit and what worked for him. He doesn’t follow trends, but sticks to a classic style. “Because if (you) follow fashion trends and it goes out of date, then you’re technically out of date,” he explains. Accessories — like ties, pocket squares, lapel pins and even socks — play a huge role in Yusuf’s look. Typically, he’ll choose a piece he wants to highlight that day and whether it’s his tie, pocket square or blazer, he’ll co-ordinate the other pieces to complement the chosen statement piece. That’s part of his style, which works for him, while other things may not. While some people look great in black, he’d never wear an all-black outfit. He adds that others pull of some things well that he doesn’t: skinny jeans, a pink tie or the colour lemon-green. “You need to harness your strengths and conceal your weaknesses — that’s what fashion is all about, really,” Yusuf says. “You need an identity. When I see you I can say, ‘This style is Moh,’ or, ‘This style is this person.’ Don’t get me wrong you don’t want to be predictable, but (keep in mind) this is what suits me and this is what suits you.” Yusuf just started writing a men’s fashion blog; his first post was all about fit — something hesays is crucial for men Although Yusuf doesn’t spend too much money on his clothes, he says that if you do and the fit isn’t right, it can make an expensive outfit look the opposite.

Outfit: 1. Tie: Zara. 2. Shirt: Hawes & Curtis, London. “It’s a British designer that’s been around for years.” 3. Jacket: Ted Baker, London. “I like their jackets, especially their winter jackets; wool and tweeds.” 4. Pocket Square: Burton Menswear, London. 5. Lapel Flower: New York. “It didn’t cost a lot and they are easy to get. It only cost me about $10.” 6. Cardigan: Topman. 7. Chinos: Calvin Klein from TK Maxx in London. “TK Maxx is just like the Winners here. I need to go and see what it looks like.” 8. Shoes: Magnanni, Italian shoemaker. 9. Socks: Burtons Menswear, London. “I do like my socks and my accessories.”

This recipe for Chocolate Walnut Tart packs a delicious, chocolatey, walnut wallop. Photo from Canadian

Living The Complete Chocolate Book

Here’s a simple, tasty recipe for chocolate lovers from Canadian Living The Complete Chocolate Book:

Chocolate Walnut Tart Ingredients Chocolate pastry — ¾ cup butter, softened — ½ cup granulated sugar — 1 egg — 1 tsp vanilla — 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour — 1/3 cup cocoa powder — ¼ tsp baking powder — Pinch salt ----— ½ cup packed brown sugar — ½ cup corn syrup — 1 tbsp. butter — 1 tsp. cornstarch — 1 egg — 1 tsp. vanilla — 2 cups walnut halves — 1/3 cup chopped dried sour cherries or raisins — 1 egg yolk

Method 1. Chocolate pastry: In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in eggs and vanilla. Into separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; sift again. Stir into butter mixture in 2 additions to make soft dough. Working with small handfuls, press about two thirds onto bottom and upside of 22.5

cm (9-inch) fluted tart pan with removable bottom. 2. Form remaining pastry into disc; between waxed paper, roll out to 22.5 cm circle. Using fluted pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut into 2.5 cm wide strips. Refrigerate strips and shell until firm, about 2 hours. ----1. In bowl, beat together brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and cornstarch until combined; beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in walnuts and cherries. Scrape into pastry shell. 2. Whisk egg yolk with 1 tbsp. water; brush over pastry rim. Arrange pastry strips over filling, leaving 5 mm space between each. Trim ends of strips even with rim of pan; press to adhere to rim. Brush strips with egg mixture. Bake on bottom rack in 375 F oven until pastry is firm and edges are darkened, about 40 minutes. 3. Let cool in pan on rack. Cut into wedges. Makes 8 to 12 servings Wine pairings: — Chocolate, nuts, Madeira and port are all appealing when mixed together. — Quails’ Gate Fortified Maréchal Foch 2010, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, $23. — Sherry-like rancio caramel aromas flecked with coffee and vanilla make this a chocolate walnut peacemaker. — Cherry Point Cowichan Blackberry Dessert Wine, Vancouver Island, $20. — Luscious wild tangy blackberries with a sweet black fruit flavour are the chocolate walnut tart antidote.

Boost mood, energy and libido with raw chocolate By Jenn Sharp Great news! I’m sure we’ve all heard this, but chocolate is good for you. Dark chocolate and only one square a day though. The problem with this recommendation (apart from the limited quantity) is the preservatives found in your average grocery store chocolate bar. Enter Shannon Richards. The holistic health coach held a raw chocolate making workshop at the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market recently (she does workshops in Regina too). She taught a small group how easy it is to make your own, incredibly delicious chocolates. These vegan, raw chocolates are packed full of so-called “superfoods” (I say so-called because I think the term superfood tends to get overused). However, the ingredients in these chocolates can definitely be considered super. Richards uses organic cacao, the unprocessed form of cocoa powder, which has a dense, earthy flavour. Cacao in its raw form is great for the metabolism and is high in magnesium and iron. It’s also a natural mood booster. Coconut oil, vanilla beans (did you know you can save the pods, dry them and grind to use as a powder?), a small amount of maple syrup and maca powder are used too. “Maca will change your life,” said Richards with a big smile. She was happy to give me a quick tutorial on the powder’s benefits. Taken from the root of the maca plant that grows in Peru’s mountain ranges, it’s been used for centuries for everything from an energy booster to libido enhancer. Yes, that’s right. Maca has been proven to enhance fertility and sexual function in men and to increase sex drive in both men and women. On top of that, many women find it helps balance their hormones, thus relieving PMS and menopause symptoms. Now that’s

the definition of a superfood. Richards likes to add little extras to her chocolates, like hemp hearts (which contain 40 per cent of your recommended daily protein value in 1 tbsp.), turmeric spice (an antiinflammatory and anti-oxidant), goji berries (another superfood touted for its high amino acid content) or nuts. Richards’s goal through her nutrition coaching and vegan, raw food workshops is “getting people back into the kitchen.” It’s a philosophy she takes to heart. Both of

her sons, Aiden, 12, and Ethan, 7, spend a lot of time with her learning how to make meals. So much so that the trio is releasing a cookbook soon, Monkeys in the Kitchen, full of their favourite, simple and fun recipes (all are gluten and dairy free; most are raw vegan as well.) On a blustery day, we started the class off with a cup of guilt-free hot chocolate. Richards uses dates for sweetness and adds a dash of cayenne for an unexpected hit of spice that warms you to the core.

J e a n n e M a rt i n s o n

Learning how different generations get along Managers ask me frequently, “When will Gen Ys grow up, quit rebelling and get with the program?” Unfortunately for managers and co-workers everywhere, there is more to generational difference than rebellion and a desire to be different from the previous generation. Our generational identity is also about the beliefs and values that were developed in our growing up years. By the time we hatch into the workforce, our perspectives of others, work and the world are well formed. The perfect storm is now brewing for generational conflict in the workplace is due to two unique factors: First, we now have four distinct generational groups in the workplace. Thanks to interrupted plans for re-

tirement due to the 2008 economic downturn, a genuine enjoyment of the work they are engaged in and an anticipation of a longer life span, members of our oldest generation find themselves still in the workplace. At the same time, baby boomers are Jeanne Martinson closing in on retirement and are primarily occupying the positions of power in our organizations. Due to advanced health care providing expectations of a

long and healthy life, and meaningful work to occupy themselves with, baby boomers may be finding the workplace more attractive and will possibly push back retirement plans. Secondly, Gen Ys came into the workforce at the end of the analog to digital shift. This is significant as Generation Y is the first to see digital technology as normal, both in their work and personal life. These two factors have collided to place employees from different generations in heightened conflict. In the workplace, these different generations are now judging each other as having good or poor work ethic, commitment and loyalty to the organization. If you are a colleague trying to un-

derstand your multi-generational coworkers, a front line manager trying to get your youngest workers to show up and show up on time, or are a member of Generation Y and looking for ways to maximize your effectiveness and success in the workplace, this book is for you. It gives you concrete information about the different generations with a focus on work ethic and the motivations and values of Generation Y. Jeanne Martinson is a diversity strategist and best-selling author on the topics of diversity and leadership. Her book is available as an eBook on Kobo and Kindle, in print in Saskatoon at McNally Robinson and online at www.martrain.org.

The StarPhoenix has teamed up with the City of Saskatoon to bring an exciting rewards program to the pet owners who license their dogs and cats. Responsible pet owners will receive a My Pet Matters Card following the purchase or renewal of their pet license. With the My Pet Matters card, you can more than recover the cost of pet licensing through the discounts on products and services offered by our participating retailers. In addition to the benefits of the My Pet Matters program, licensing your pet also ensures the direct return home of your lost pet, if someone is available to receive it. Should you not be home, they will be taken to a safe shelter where you will be able to pick them up at no charge. As well, it gives you access to all off-leash areas in Saskatoon.

Sea Buckthorn

This ‘glued on berry’ makes a great jelly By Sara Williams Native to Europe and Asia, sea buckthorn has a long history of medicinal use. The fruit is high in vitamin C, while the extracted oil is used to treat burns. It’s been planted extensively in Russian shelterbelts. Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a large, upright shrub up to 3.7 m tall, suckers prodigiously and sports twigs that end in downright dangerous thorns. The leaves are narrow and silver; the flowers small, yellow and inconspicuous. Both drought and saline tolerant, sea buckthorn should be grown in full sun and does well in sandy soils. There are separate male (pollen source) and female (fruit-producing) plants. Both are required (one male to seven female) to produce fruit. This is a shrub for farmyards, acreages, shelterbelts and highway allowances. Although its suckering habit precludes its use in smaller urban settings, you may find it on a winter walk still loaded with fruit. The yellow, orange or red fruit is held close to the branches. The Russian name, oblepeekha, translates as “glued-on berries” and is a fair assessment of the difficulty in removing the fruit from the stems. Because the fruit persists over winter, you have a while yet to tackle the task. Once de-stemmed, the fruit is excellent for jelly, preserves, liqueur or gelato. Over the last two decades, the Agroforestry Development Centre (formerly the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration [PFRA] Station) in Indian Head carried out extensive research, selecting cultivars with fewer thorns, good yields and larger, less “glued-on” fruit. Two of these selections are Harvest Moon and Orange September. The following recipe makes eight cups of gorgeous orange jelly, which is excellent on toast or over ice cream.

Making sea buckthorn jelly can be a messy process but well worth the effort. Photo courtesy Brian Baldwin

SEA BUCKTHORN JELLY INGREDIENTS: — 12 cups sea buckthorn fruit — 1 cup water — 1/2 cup fruit nectar, apricot (optional) — 7 cups sugar — 1/2 tsp. butter — 1 pouch liquid pectin METHOD: 1. To get your fruit for the jelly, first take a pair of secateurs and cut off about 20 to 30 cm of the fruit stems. Inside, rinse the stems under cold water to remove clinging leaves and other debris. 2. To remove the berries, hold the stem upright and below the rim of a

pail. Position your thumb and forefinger firmly on the stem above the berries. Run your fingers down the stem, taking care to push the berries off the stem, keeping them as intact as possible to keep the skins with the pulp. 3. Once removed from the stems, thoroughly crush the fruit. 4. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil, simmering for 10 minutes. 5. Place the cooked fruit in a jelly bag and squeeze to extract the juice. (You can even let hang overnight for excellent results.) 6. Measure out 5 cups of juice. If you don’t have 5 cups of juice, add up to ½ cup of water or fruit nectar (I suggest apricot). Place the juice in a large saucepan. Add the sugar

— do not reduce! 7. Place over high heat and bring to a full boil, stirring constantly. Add the butter to reduce foam if desired. Immediately stir in liquid pectin and continue to stir until mixture returns to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for one minute, stirring constantly. 8. Remove from heat and skim. Pour quickly into warm sterilized jars and fill leaving 5 mm headspace. Seal with two-piece lids. Taken from the PFRA booklet, Fruit-bearing Shrubs for Multi-use Shelterbelts and Orchards.

By James Romanow California is one of those places where if big is good, bigger is better. Subtlety, whether you are talking movie stars or wine, is generally not a selling point for the state. When this point of view meets Pinot Noir it makes for an interesting version of the wine. Pinot Noir is traditionally thought of as an elegant wine, a wine of restraint and subtlety. Californian PN has about the same amount of restraint and elegance you would expect from Pam Anderson. On the other hand, compared to Zinfandel, it is indeed elegant and subtle. Any number of people find this flavour profile knee-weakening delicious. If you count yourself among them you’ll want to try Sterling Pinot Noir. I generally prefer New Zealand to California, however Sterling is something of an exception to my rule. The wine, like most Californian PN, is dominated by cherry and vanilla flavours with just a hint of raspberry. The finish is dry, but the entry and mid-palate are slightly sweet. The tannins are extremely restrained. It is an inoffensive, quite pleasant wine, and it will pair with pretty much all foods. This is a great wine to pair with things like squash, a spicy Indian lentil dish or the more usual roast chicken.

My only complaint is the acidity is low-ish, and I therefore drink the wine between 5 and 10 degrees. If you want to have some fun with a friend, buy a supermarket “barbecued” chicken and two bottles of Sterling. Refrigerate one bottle overnight and serve the other at room temperature and do a tasting with the chicken. I suspect you too will be a convert to drinking this wine chilled.

ASK ELLIE

Ex-boyfriend must make amends for his ‘stray kiss’ Q. I recently broke up with my girlfriend of two years, though I was deeply in love with her. After eight months we had a little blip and a short break in which I kissed someone else. I didn’t tell her, as I didn’t want to hurt her. She found out recently and ended our relationship. I can’t sleep at night as I’m stressed, and everything that I do reminds me of her. Do you believe she’ll come around if I leave her alone for a few weeks? Or just wait for her to contact me? Missing Her A. A stray kiss during an agreed break is a minor crime, yet the punishment of ending it seems harsh. This may have to do with either being young and inexperienced (if this is so), or the kiss having far more significance (e.g. she heard or guesses it was more). Whatever the reason for her strong reaction, “leaving her alone” is NOT the right approach. Send flowers to her with a note of apology and missing her, send one text daily that you’re

Ask Ellie

thinking of her (do not harass, and stop if she insists), send one email saying that you’ll never look at that person again, you can only think of her. It may work. Or not. But waiting for her to contact you is just giving up.

Q. My boyfriend and I, both late-40s, are looking to move in together. Neither of us wants to get married. What formulas do you have for a couple to figure out fair sharing of expenses? He makes $15,000 more than me annually, but his support obligations drain that quickly. I bought a modest house this year and moved into it while dating him. I

can afford it myself, so this isn’t about having someone move in to pay my mortgage. He’s renting a sad little apartment after coming out of a divorce, and is paying huge alimony and child support for the next few years until the kids are adults. He works an extra job and works overtime to faithfully fulfil his financial obligations to his ex and his kids, which I suppose is admirable. I don’t know if 50/50 is fair or how other couples split the expenses. Don’t worry about a single chick losing her head, he won’t be moving in without signing some sort of pre-nuptial agreement so I never lose my house. Practical Romantic A. Practicality IS important when starting this new arrangement, especially because it’s harder to change the set-up later unless earnings change significantly. Caring and compassion are also important — and you indicate both here — or why else bother to move together? Especially, since he comes

with emotional (children) ties and financial (support) obligations elsewhere. There are obvious expenses to share completely, through a joint account in which you both deposit an equal amount. These include: food, utilities, cable, and house insurance. They cover the common needs as well as expenses you’d each pay for, if living on your own. Once a pre-nup is in place, you continue to pay the house mortgage and taxes, as it’s your asset. If he earned a lot more, I’d suggest he pay for recreation (meals out, even travel) but besides practicality and caring, there’s being realistic. This guy doesn’t have disposable money beyond the same amount you earn, since his added amount (and likely more) is spoken for. So, if you love him and want to live with him, share the cost of life’s extras, and enjoy a truly equal relationship.

Q. For most of her life, my friend was

very overweight. Over the past two years, she lost almost 150 pounds. We rekindled our friendship last year, and I saw that she looked very sick. I’ve rarely seen her eat anything. She recently confided that she’d make herself throw up after eating junk food, which happens frequently. Also, she uses marijuana multiple times daily for pain maintenance for her condition of endometriosis. She broke up with her longtime boyfriend five months ago. She thinks no one else will ever love her. Worried Friend A. You have good reasons to worry. She’s apparently depressed, also bulimic, addicted to pot, and battling pain. All are harmful enough, but their combined physical and mental health effects after massive weight loss can be extreme. Show her the supportive love of friendship by insisting you accompany her to a doctor for a physical checkup and also for referral for potential depression and addiction.
