Ashley Kilback: Showcasing Sask. talent 2.

By Ashley Martin

Ashley Kilback is using her blog to influence and expose Saskatchewan style. The fourth-year University of Regina marketing student is passionate about fashion as a form of art, creativity and self-expression. Growing up as a farm girl near Whitewood, “I was always that girl in high school that was dressing fancy and wearing heels,” said Kilback. “I think people thought I was quite weird at the time.” She started her blog, Closet Space, in November, after being inspired at last year’s inaugural Saskatchewan Fashion Week. For this year’s incarnation, she is writing Street Style profiles and will live-blog the events to help “get fashion pumping here.” “I really want to showcase all the talent that’s here,” said Kilback, who believes Saskatchewan entrepreneurs’ willingness to work together is what sets them apart. “That’s what really makes me want to stay in Regina, because the people that care about fashion here, they really care about it and it’s not about being competitive and getting to the top and forgetting about everyone else. I think everyone kind of works together to bring that fashion spirit and business side of it together.”

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

Park takes jogger to new heights By Andrew Matte Sara Weiss, 25, faced an uphill battle after she was injured when she was hit by a car last year. But that’s mostly due to the challenge of dashing up and down the hill at Douglas Park Hill. It helped her return to form and regain the stability and strength she enjoys as a recreational jogger. She likes the run to Douglas Park Hill, which is her favourite place in Regina. She enjoys the hill, the view from the top and the scenery on the way there.

Q: When did you become a runner? A: I started running when I was in high school and I ran as part of cross-country teams. And going to Douglas Park and running up that stupid hill was often a part of a race. Q: Has Douglas Park and the big hill always been a part of your running schedule? A: It had always stuck with me. So now I use it to train for half marathons. I live in the north end but I go to SIAST, so Douglas Park is usually convenient. Q: How bad was the injury you suffered when you were struck by a car? A: It wasn’t as bad as it sounds, though the rehab was annoying. Someone in a car was looking the wrong way and ran into me. I was in shock and I wound up running home. But I had nine months of physiotherapy. I injured the side of my leg and my knee and my hip. I didn’t have any bruising and it wasn’t a highspeed impact. But I had what they called a contusion. Q: How did the recovery go? A: Now I can run like normal, which is awesome. I have been running since September, but just short runs on a treadmill. Q: When is the best time of the year to go jogging?

Douglas Park in Regina offers fabulous views for recreational joggers, says local running enthusiast Sara Weiss. QC PHOTO BY DON HEALY

A: I like running in the winter more than the summer. In Saskatchewan, it gets so hot. When you’re running a race or something, it’s fine because there are water stations all over the place. If you want to get a good run in during the summer, you have to get up really early in the morning ... As long as you learn how to dress yourself, any season is OK really. Q: How do you incorporate the hill when you run around Douglas Park? A: Some days, I will do a bit of a warmup and then just run up and down that hill however many times as I can. But I also like doing long runs in that area. So I will do a loop using the popular route that takes you around the lake, and then you can cross the street over to the Science Centre and through Douglas Park.

Q: How accessible are these places in the winter? A: In the winter, it’s not very awesome. It looks like a trail. And you need to hop around a pile of snow to get on the trail. But in the summer, it’s like a road. Q: What else do you like about the hill? A: There is a little loop at the top so you can run around a little bit and cool down if you want. There is a nice slope on one side and it’s quite steep on the other. To run up the hill on the road and do the loop at the top where it’s a parking lot and down again is one kilometre, so it’s good for runners to be able to gauge that.

Q: Was running up and down that hill a good idea for your rehabilitation? A: My physiotherapist told me that people have better form when they are running up a hill. For me to improve without causing more injury, I found that running up the hill was good for me. I don’t know why, but running up a hill causes you to have better form. It forces you to work on your stability. Q: After you run up the hill, does running down the street seem like a breeze? A: After running those hills, and as I ran back to my car, I noticed how easy it was and I noticed that my pace picked up. Q: What is your usual schedule? A: I usually run to the hill and then

run up and down the hill a few times and then I run back.

Q: Are you preparing for a race? A: I am training for the Saskatoon half marathon, which is May 26. I am running the QCM as well. If you trained on a flat surface, you’d die. The Saskatoon race is all hills. Q: Do you stop to enjoy the view from the top of the hill? A: That is one of the reasons I run up there, because of the view. I don’t stop, but I don’t not look around. That is one of the best parts of running up that hill. And it’s one of the best parts of being a runner in general. You get to see parts of a city from a different perspective. In Regina, you get awesome views of the lake and the Legislative building.

They are highly, highly influential. — Murray Mandryk

The Premier league

The influence behind Brad Wall

By Joe Couture Premier Brad Wall uses song lyrics to describe his long-serving political team. “Effectively, we’re running the Ho-

tel California; I guess they can check out anytime they want, but they can never leave,” the premier jokes. Wall’s closest advisers haven’t changed since he became premier in 2007, and many of them were involved before then. That’s rare in politics.

At the core of Wall’s political team are four individuals he’s known for many years — special adviser Reg Downs, chief of staff Joe Donlevy, chief of operations Terri Harris and executive director of communications Kathy Young. They wield signif-

icant power within the government. People don’t always realize how much things get done because of these people, their choices and decisions, says Murray Mandryk, political columnist for The Leader-Post and The StarPhoenix.

“They are highly, highly influential. One of the misconceptions out there might be that it’s Brad Wall or cabinet making all these decisions — and that’s truly not the case.” Continued on Page 6

Downs has been friends with Wall since they met almost three decades ago at the University of Saskatchewan. Both worked at the legislature as staffers in the Progressive Conservative government of the 1980s and Downs was back as a staffer in the opposition offices by 1993. After becoming chief of staff to P.C. Leader Bill Boyd, he continued in that role for each leader of the Sask. Party after its formation in

DOWNS

1997. With Wall in charge, Downs oversaw the process that culminated in the Sask. Party’s success. Downs describes his current job as being something kind of like air traffic control. “There are a lot of things going on in the government at any one time and I’m the guy who has to sort of keep an eye on all of it and make sure nothing’s crashing into each other,” he says. “It is the chief political adviser and strategy adviser to the premier and the government.” Downs says his close friendship with Wall allows him to be “brutally honest” with the premier. “Maybe someone who didn’t know him quite as well would have to pull their punches every once in a while, but I never have to sort of constrain myself.” Mandryk credits Downs with the 1995 election strategy of focusing on key ridings that allowed the P. C. s to retain seats and be in a position to form the Sask. Party. “Had the P. C.s been completely and totally wiped out back in ’95, there would be no Sask. Party,” Mandryk says. “(Downs) has an exceedingly keen political mind and I could cite 10,000 examples over the years.”

In a large organization, the hardest thing is that you have to try to have a common alignment of goals and objectives ... a lot of what I do is ensuring there’s no uncertainty. — Joe Donlevy DONLEVY Donlevy, who grew up in an entrepreneurial family in Saskatoon, has a history degree and an MBA. His involvement with politics began in 2001 when friend and business partner Ted Merriman ran in a losing byelection. In 2003, Donlevy again served as Merriman’s campaign manager, this time in a winning effort. Wall chose Donlevy to chair his successful 2007 election campaign. “In a large organization, the hardest thing is that you have to try to have a common alignment of goals and objectives … a lot of what I do is ensuring that there’s no uncertainty,” Donlevy says about his role, which he notes is a little more in the background than Downs’. “I quite like his calm, fatherly demeanour, which I think is quite helpful to Brad Wall,” Mandryk says. HARRIS Harris has also been involved with the party since its opposition days. A former radio and television reporter, singer and songwriter — and daughter of former Conservative MP Carol Skelton — Harris was a Sask. Party candidate in 1999. She then took a job with the Opposition caucus and served in a number of positions. She now oversees human resources for all political staff in government and procuring government advertising, and is also involved with managing issues. Her role recently earned her the title of one of the 100 most powerful women in Canada by the Financial Post. There are many high-ranking female public servants, but she and Young are still “a little bit unusual” on the male-dominated political side of the equation, Harris says. “It’s important, I think, for young women especially, to see that you can get involved in politics. You can hold your own and you can influence how politics affects people’s lives,” she says. Continued on Page 10

If I can withstand the attacks from my senior staff, there’s nothing the NDP will say that will hurt my feelings. — Brad Wall

“You’re kind of on call on evenings and weekends and you never know when some sort of news is going to hit or you’re going to need to respond to things. It’s not just communications, per se — you manage many issues.” Young’s success relates to the fact she hasn’t burned bridges or burned out over the years, Mandryk says. “She probably has far more guile than she lets on, but I think that’s all part of how effective she particularly is at her job.” THE TEAM

Pictured in this 2008 file photo are, from left: Reg Downs, Terri Harris, Kathy Young and Joe Donlevy. The premier’s closest advisers haven’t changed since 2007, a rarity in politics. file photo

YOUNG Young’s association with Wall and Downs goes back a long a time. She was a researcher for the P.C. caucus in 1990 and got to know

Wall and Downs. She had worked in the Opposition Tory caucus but left after the formation of the Sask. Party. Her relationship with Wall brought her back shortly before the Sask. Party won in

2007. “I always feel like I’m an OB-GYN waiting to get the call to deliver a baby at any moment,” Young laughs when discussing her current role.

As a whole, the team is effective, and at least as good as those Mandryk saw advising government in the NDP days, he says. Some might not terribly admire the contributions of spin doctors and political strategists, but if you take a step back, you kind of have to marvel at how well they’ve done.” For his part, Wall says his four advisers represent the best political team in the country. “If I can withstand the attacks from my senior staff, there’s nothing the NDP will say that will hurt my feelings. Because, frankly, they can be jerks — the senior staff, not the NDP.” Common goals contribute to the loyalty between wall and his people. Wall sees government as “tenants” and the people of Saskatchewan as “landlords. That sentiment has become a mantra for the team. “We all want to do what’s best for Saskatchewan and we want to do what’s best for people and our premier and our government,” Young says. According to Downs, there are three elements that keep the group unified: Connection to the formation of the Sask. Party, the excitement of the government climate and the premier himself. “He just is a very easy guy to work for. He’s very personable, very likable, very appreciative of the efforts that everyone makes on his behalf.” There are rewards beyond shared goals, public service and personal friendship, of course. With 2011-12 compensation of $188,798 (Downs), $163,595 (Donlevy), $164,726 (Harris) and $137,796 (Young), the staff is well paid. But Mandryk says any of the four could leave government at any time and have their pick of communications or strategy jobs in the private sector. “But the fact they are staying here for a while does kind of suggest something about their character that I find somewhat admirable.”

Each week QC gathers advice from parents to share with other moms and dads. This week we asked:

How old should a babysitter be before you’ll leave your kids with him or her? “It depends on the maturity level of the babysitter but generally 11 or 12 years old. The children that leave my mother’s daycare make the perfect sitters as you know them, know their families and of course knew my children. It is perfect.” — Angela O. “After having a 12-year-old babysitter and not feeling comfortable with that, I would not get anyone under 14. Any babysitters I have got have all been referred by friends.” — Alysia Czmuchalek

to find a casual babysitter other than family.” — Terri Leniuk “I was leaving my daughter with my son when he was 10. He was much more ready than most kids his age. It was for an hour or two at a time and I would check in regularly. If it was someone else I would prefer them to at least have their babysitting course, CPR/First Aid — so around 12.” — Linzee Mae

“I think maturity plays more into how I choose a babysitter over their age. The babysitters I’ve always chosen are at least 15 but there are some kids I know now who are nearing 12 that I would hire in a heartbeat. As long as the sitter shows maturity and responsibility that’s the most important thing (I’ve seen 12-year-olds with more maturity than some 17-year-olds). All of the sitters I’ve used are usually children of my friends or family members. When we lived away from where our family is, I had an ad on Kijiji but I don’t think I ended up hiring any of them.” — Michelle Grodecki “I think it depends on the age of the children you have and the maturity of the person you are thinking of leaving them with. Legally I think 12 is the minimum but that might be too young for some kids.” — Marie Norwig “Maturity levels differ in many kids so it would be difficult to say what age a babysitter should be and it depends what age the children are that need the childcare. If the children are under two years old they may need someone a little more experienced. A babysitter should be at least 12 (I prefer 14) and should have their babysitters course certificate. The babysitters I get are referrals from friends and neighbours.” — Nikki Melnyk “I think it depends on the maturity level of the babysitter. Some might be perfectly capable at 13, others not ready until they’re older. We’ve never had

Queensbury Convention Centre “I was 13 when I started babysitting. I have a 15-year-old babysitter, but I would say that it probably depends on how well you can trust them, and if you know who they are. If you don’t know them very well, I would suggest getting a reference or two and actually calling them to make sure they are good with kids. Most teens won’t volunteer to watch kids unless they are comfortable with them, being that most teens have other things to do.” — Danielle Ford “I would base it on the maturity of the teen.

“At St. John’s Ambulance you can take the babysitter’s course at nine. A mature nine, otherwise it’s 10. It really depends on the person though. Some kids I’ve had babysit were great, others were horrible ... age was never the deciding factor.” — Stephanie Olsen REG31301976_1_1

Al e x B a rr

Benjamin Walker: Following the trail of drug money When drugs are sold on the streets... where does that money go? Drug education has focused mainly on the physical and psychological effects on the people that use them. Unfortunately not much is said and known about the vast amount of money made from the sale of drugs on the streets or the terrible consequences that happen to innocent people when that money makes its way back to the hands of criminal and terrorist groups in countries like Colombia, Afghanistan or Mexico. After the assassination in Colombia of six of my family members at the hands of these criminal groups, and having to flee my country fearing for my life and the life of my wife and

two children, I decided I was going to raise awareness about this seldom and hidden effect of drug use. Since money is the big issue with drugs, I wanted to show the reader the money track of the drug trade through the eyes of a $100 note, Benjamin. This is how the idea of writing Benjamin Walker and the cash transaction he wishes never started. Benjamin’s journey starts the moment two young men use him to buy cocaine on the streets of New York until the moment he is received by criminal groups in Colombia. From street dealers to money launderers, from guerrilla and paramilitary groups to drug cartel barons, Benjamin sees all the levels of this illegal trade. He narrates a story that describes enormous

wealth, abject poverty and witnesses the horror when innocent people are caught in the crossfire of the cocaine producers. Users need to know that when they use drugs they are not only destroying their lives, but are promoting the killing of innocent people and destroying the livelihoods of millions around the world. They fund terrorism and create instability in poor countries. They need to understand there is always a consequence to their actions. I worked for several years for humanitarian relief organizations in war-torn countries and disaster zones. Currently I work for the City of Saskatoon Wastewater Treatment Plant. My years as an aid worker and

my personal story played an important role in writing this book. Locally my name is well known within the school system and among local organizations where I give presentations based in part on the message of the book: How purchasing drugs on the streets of North America can devastate a village in Colombia or instigate the murder of an innocent family. You can watch a book trailer and know more about the book at: www.benjamin100.com. This book is now available at McNally Robinson and Indigo, and is available as an ebook: iTunes, Kobo, Kindle.

Summertime Fun Keeping kids active once the school year ends

n many ways, today’s kids have busier schedules than any previous generation of youngsters. Many extracurricular activities, including sports, require a nearly year-round commitment, and the dual-income household has landed many kids in afterschool programs where kids tend to their schoolwork or engage in various activities that keep them from resting on their laurels. But those busy schedules get a lot less hectic when the school year ends. Once school is out, kids used to a full schedule might find themselves with lots of time on their hands. Though it’s good for kids to squeeze in some rest and relaxation during their summer break, it’s also important for kids to stay active so they don’t develop poor habits as the summer goes on. In addition, the American Psychological Association notes that kids who are physically active are more capable of coping with stress and tend to have higher self-esteem than kids who do not include physical activity as part of their regular routines. The following are a few suggestions for parents looking for ways to keep their kids active throughout the summer while still allowing them to recharge their batteries after a long school year. * Plan an active vacation. Summer is when many families go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside? Though it’s still good to leave some time for relaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring. Such a trip might inspire kids to embrace an activity more fully, getting them off the couch not only while they’re on vacation but also when they return home for the rest of summer. * Teach kids to garden. Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. When

growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables. Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locally-produced foods and the positive impact such behavior has on the environment. * Go swimming. Few adults who work in offices haven’t looked out their windows on a sunny summer day and thought how nice it would be to be spending that afternoon making a few laps in a lake, at the beach or in a pool. Kids have the same daydreams during the summer, so take a day off every so often and take the kids for an afternoon of swimming. Swimming is a great activity that exercises the entire body, including the shoulders, back, legs, hips, and abdominals. In addition, swimming helps kids and adults alike maintain a healthy weight while also improving their cardiovascular health. It’s hard for some people to find a place to swim once the warm weather departs, so take advantage of the summer weather and go swimming as often as possible while the kids are not in school. * Limit how much time kids spend watching television, playing video games or surfing the Internet. Many of today’s kids are as tech savvy as they are busy. But it’s important that kids don’t spend too much time online or on the couch watching television or playing video games. Such activities are largely sedentary, and they can set a bad precedent for the months ahead, even when the school year begins once again. Parents should limit how much time their youngsters spend in front of the television or the computer during summer vacation, keeping track and turning the TV or computer off if they suspect kids are spending too much time staring at the screen instead of being active. Kids might not love it when you turn their video games off or minimize their access to social media, but explain the limitations at the onset of summer and let kids know you expect them to be physically active even if it is summer vacation.

Summertime Fun

Choosing the right summer camp

Get relief from the pain of sunburn

ummer draws people outdoors to enjoy fun in the sun. But not every aspect of summertime weather can be pleasant, especially when sunburn rears its blistery head. Despite the health warnings about sun exposure, people still venture outdoors repeatedly without the use of a protective product with a high enough SPF. Side effects of failing to protect the skin can include nasty burns and an increased risk of skin cancer later in life. Perhaps individuals fail to take sunburns seriously because they don’t associate sunburns with anything dangerous. But sunburn is just like any other burn and the skin pays the price. Most people wouldn’t intentionally set fire to their skin or play with caustic chemicals. But they will spend hours in the sun unprotected. Just like the flames of a fire, the sun can cause serious burns, even second- and third-degree ones. A seconddegree burn causes not only damage to the epidermis, or the outer layer of skin, but extends deeper into the dermis as well. A third-degree burn seriously harms the entire epidermis and dermis, as well as nerves and fatty tissue contained within, according to The Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Because the epidermis and hair follicles are destroyed, new skin will not grow. Sunburn can occur after roughly 15 to 30 minutes of exposure to the sun. The burn itself may not show up for hours later, which is why people often think they’ve avoided a burn. The results of sunburn are often pain, redness and potential blistering, depending on the level of damage. Although there is

Thinkstock, digital vision no specific treatment for sunburn, there are some remedies that can help the pain and help to speed up recovery. * Drink plenty of water. Damaged skin may not be able to properly inhibit the loss of moisture from the body, resulting in dehydration. Drinking water can replenish fluids needed for comfort and health. * Over-the-counter pain medications may alleviate the stubborn pain. If the pain is very severe, consult a physician, who might feel prescription-strength pain relievers are necessary. There also are topical pain-relief sprays that temporarily dull the pain and cool the skin. * Cool, wet compresses as well as lotions that soothe can also be helpful and reduce

swelling. Look for ones with natural ingredients, such as aloe vera. * Oral antihistamines can help when the skin eventually starts to peel and becomes itchy. * If blisters are present, leave them be until they break on their own. Prematurely breaking sunburn blisters can increase the risk of infection. An antibiotic cream may be applied after the blisters break to speed up healing and prevent infection. * If the sunburn is severe or accompanied by a fever, consult a physician. The best way to treat sunburn is not to get it in the first place. This means being diligent about applying sunblock before going outdoors.

t can be difficult to envision warm summer days when the wind is blowing and the snow is falling. However, the winter months are a great time to explore summer camp options. In fact, many camps have strict enrollment timelines that require decisions to be made prior to spring. Attending summer camp has been a tradition in the United States and Canada for more than 150 years. Statistics indicate that around 30 million American kids attend summer camp each year. There are many benefits to summer camp. Camp enables children to stay engaged during the summer when there may be limited interaction with school friends. It also gives parents both a safe and viable daycare solution during the summer. Summer camp pulls together children from different neighborhoods, social classes and backgrounds, which can make it a good place to meet new people -- some of whom may become lifelong friends. Camps also provide a variety of activities that can challenge children to try new things that go beyond their comfort zones. Some children are very receptive to the idea of attending summer camp. Others need a little coaxing. But summer camp should never be forced on a child who does not want to go. In such instances, consider local daytime programs that may fill the void instead of programs that require being away from home. Once the decision for summer camp is made, there are some questions to answer. * What are your finances like? Do you have a budget for summer camp? * What size camp do you desire? * Should the camp be co-ed or single sex? * How far do you want your child to travel for summer camp? What are the options in your area? * Are there any camps that have been recommended by friends or family members? * What kinds of activities do your children enjoy? These types of questions will help you narrow down your options. Then you can visit and interview camps to find one that is the best fit. When visiting camps, go armed with a checklist of questions. Some of these can include: * What is the philosophy of the camp? * Can you explain a typical day? * What are the types of activities and facilities offered? * What is the camper-to-counselor ratio? * What is the camp’s drug/alcohol policy? * Does the camp have insurance and security personnel? * What percentage of staff return each year? How are staff selected and trained? * What kind of health care is provided? * Can you tell me about the policy on phone calls and family visits? * What do you do in the event of emergencies? There are many different camps available. Some offer a “little bit of everything.” Others cater to academics, sports, specific hobbies or even religious preferences. Don’t wait too long to research and sign up for camps because many fill up quite early or have an extensive waiting list. That is why choosing a camp should be part of a spring to-do list.

Summertime Fun

Dinos and bugs and camp, oh my! By Jessica Mees L-P Specialty Products ummer camp is an experience most children look forward to all year but choosing the right one can be a challenge. Although it has to be fun and memorable for a child, most parents also desire a reputable and safe environment to leave their kids. The Friends of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum have a solution for everyone. “We’re a non-profit organization; we work with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum by running programs. We operate the gift shop at the Museum, as well as the gift shop in the legislative building. We do fundraisers and we rent out the facility as well,” said Laura Strem, Program and Event Coordinator with Friends of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. “Throughout the year we offer camps for children age five to nine. During the summer, we offer many different kinds of day camps on a variety of topics. We focus on Saskatchewan and the

different eco-regions as well.” Located in the safety of the museum and surrounding area, the staff counsellors will provide each participant with a daily itinerary, detailing where they will be and what they will be doing. A parent will know the camper’s location at any given time; granting peace of mind. The ratios between drop off and pick-up never exceed one guide per 10 kids. The camps are also a peanut free zone; those with allergies can feel safe and play free. The organizers will provide two water or juice breaks throughout the day, but lunch and snacks are not provided, so parents should take caution with the ingredients in their offspring’s lunch pails. Friends of the Museum offer singular themed camp days, four day camps, five day camps, as well as a Hit the Road camp that takes campers away from the city for a few days. “Last year we ran a camp for nine to 12 year olds, which was something new for us.

Normally our camps are only for five to nine, but we did do a camp for the older group where they went to Eastend, Saskatchewan for three days and stayed overnight at the T.Rex Discovery Centre. The campers slept in the centre there and did a whole bunch of activities with the Eastend museum,” she said of the Hit the Road camp. “It was a nice camp in that it was split between here and a sister museum, so campers got to do a little bit more. Being that they’re older it was exciting for them to go on an overnight trip too. This year will be something similar, but I can’t currently say where they are going.” With many themes to choose from, even the pickiest child will find their niche. Although this year’s main focus is on Saskatchewan, the choices range from bugs, dinosaurs, and nature to sports and adventure. “It’s really just what they’re interested in. If your child loves dinosaurs, that’s probably a great one to come to. That camp is a great

introduction to what our programs are about; it’s also our most popular. We run it twice in the summer,” said Strem. “If they’re not sure, they can always come to a single day camp. They can try out just one day, and if they like it, they can sign up for more.” Days will be filled with a wide variety of educational yet fun activities including games, experiments, stories, crafts, gallery visits, a feature film on the big screen, and a large amount of time spent in the great outdoors. Eager campers ready to register for their summer of fun can join Friends of the Museum on May 13 and 14 from 4:30 to 7:30 to take advantage of discount early bird prices. During this session, camp leaders will be available for meet and greets and tons of prizes can be won including free camp fees.

Rutledge hits the big league with Oprah and Obama By Sean Trembath In 2009, Derrick Rutledge had a pretty good thing going. After more than 20 years of making famous women — including Beyonce, Janet Jackson and Chaka Khan — look their best, he had earned a job as personal makeup artist for Michelle Obama just months after her husband was inaugurated. It would be hard to imagine a more prominent canvas on which to showcase his talents. Then Oprah called. “Every place I had worked for the last 25 years, she was on the air.

The gum went into an assistant’s hand, and Rutledge got to work. “At the end she said, ‘Oh my God, this is beautiful. Where have you been? You could have been working with me for awhile,’ ” said Rutledge. Thus began a relationship that has carried on to this day. Before Oprah hits the stage at Credit Union Centre this Sunday, she’ll be sitting in Rutledge’s chair. The audition was not the first time Rutledge had met Oprah. As a freelance makeup artist from Washington, D.C., he had worked on several celebrities who were guests on Winfrey’s show. In fact, Oprah acted as a motivator for Rutledge, who has lost over 300 pounds in the last 10 years after struggling with obesity for most of his life.

you on the path.” he said. “She tells you what she feels, and what she thinks, but you have to make up your own mind.” She takes a similar approach to Rutledge’s makeup work. “I know what she likes and doesn’t like, but she still gives me the freedom to do whatever it is I want to do to make her look her best,” he said.

Oprah is Rutledge’s main gig, but he still gets to work with some former clients when his schedule allows. Chaka Khan flew him in to get her ready for her birthday a few weeks ago. He’s also in the process of launching a line of skin and hair products. It’s a lot to do, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’m very happy to be where I am at this stage in my life,” he said. “It allows me to help other people.”

Ask Ellie

Couple’s lack of intimacy needs to be addressed Q: Can a woman go without sex and affection and be healthy? I’m married, and have been in this relationship for 16 years, but the last six have been sexless. There’s nothing at all — no compliments, no kisses, nothing that requires him to touch me. I have been faithful. However, I’m no longer sure about him. Both of us are healthy. Losing Faith A: While sexual satisfaction can make you feel healthy, lack of it isn’t what will make you sick. It’s the stress, anger and distrust you’re building up that can have negative health effects. Six years of not knowing why the sex and affection have stopped, is unacceptable. You must insist on answers. He may have low libido, possibly due to health changes he hasn’t revealed, or medications, excess alcohol or drugs. Or, he may have erectile dysfunction from other causes. Whatever his reason, you need to

know. And if he’s unfaithful, you need to know that too, and consider your own options. If he refuses to respond, protect your emotional health, through weighing your choices. ■

Q: I’m a gay guy in my early 20s. I’ve just started working for a new employer and sort of unexpectedly came out of the closet, with no shame in doing so. I was informed that a male coworker in a different department admitted to making a homophobic slur. His explanation was that he was gay so it was OK. Since the incident occurred, I feel

he’s been flirting with me, and even co-workers have questioned if we’re an item. He’s said things like, “I love you, man,” “You’re the best looking guy in this place,” and “You’re the most talented guy I know.” After a few days off I’ll ask, “So how much did you miss me?” and he’ll tell me he couldn’t stop thinking of me. He’s a pretty attractive guy. Recently, I built up the courage and asked him out for coffee. His reply was “Dude, if I was gay, I totally would.” However, the over-friendliness/ borderline flirting continues and he asked for and received a transfer to my department, which starts soon. All my friends say enough is enough and I need to tell him to stop. I enjoy whatever’s happening, but I’m the only co-worker he treats this way. If he won’t hold back, then I don’t want to either, I just don’t know what to say. What’s the next step?

Mixed Messages A: Step aside. He’s playing games with you, and until he’s upfront about what he’s trying to say or do, you need to consider him as a coworker, period. Many readers will immediately assume he IS gay, or his comments wouldn’t be so pointed. But he says otherwise. Others will say he’s homophobic, but trying to rise above it by making “nice.” Most important, however, is how you feel, which is confused. You don’t need this kind of distraction and potential discomfort while getting settled in a new job. You’ve responded in kind to his flirting when asking if he’s missed you. But he insists he’s not gay; so don’t go that dead-end route anymore. Next time he’s full of compliments, just brush it off with a laugh, and something like, “Sure, sure, I bet you say that to everyone!” Then walk away. Also, if he keeps this up to the

point of distraction when in your same department, consider it insulting and not-so-subtle gay baiting. Say so, and tell him to stop. ■

■

Q: How do you know if a guy likes you? Confused Girl A: He shows it in some way… by making contact, acting friendly AND speaking to you. But, don’t be misled by others’ gossip that he likes you, if he hasn’t shown this to you. It can build excitement about something that doesn’t exist. At its worst, this gossip is fueled by someone who knows/thinks you like him, so is playing you for fun. Ignore this, unless HE shows his interest directly. TIP OF THE DAY No partner should accept a withdrawal of sex, and affection without explanation and/or mutual agreement.

WINE world # L u i s F e l i p e E d wa r d s R e s e r va Cabernet Sauvignon

For an elegant cab, turn to Chile

By James Romanow If you love Bordeaux, or are curious why so many people are passionate about it, you need to start by drinking Cabernet Sauvignon. Most people start with Californian or Australian versions, which is acceptable but won’t get you much closer to the flavours of Bordeaux. Both of these countries specialize in ripe chewy wines with tremendous extraction. The wines are thick (much thicker than a Bordeaux) and tend to finish slightly sweet. A better version to my old fashioned palate can be found reliably from the Chileans. They have been making and drinking wine continuously for as long as there have been Europeans on the continent. And due to being something of a cultural backwater until very recently, they clung to a much older style of wine making. This is not to say they are unaffected by modern fashions but I find their wines are more restrained and heading toward elegance. This makes them worth a try for everyone, because until you branch out and try different styles you will never really know what you like. Luis Felipe Edwards is a new label here and is unabashedly fond of Cabernet Sauvignon. If you want to try something a little less

like candied fruit cake and a little sterner I can strongly recommend their wines. Their Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon has a tremendously spicy/herbaceous bouquet, with a sprightly brisk palate that ends with light flavours of eucalyptus and menthol. The finish is just sweet enough to keep the modern drinker on side, while providing a kind of light counterpoint to the sledgehammer approach of most Californian cabs. This is a really nice cab and at this price a tremendous bargain. Luis Felipe Edwards Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile, 2010. $15.21 **** More wonderful wines on Twitter @drbooze

S A S K AT C H E WA N ' S B E S T S PA C E S

The historic Hotel Senator By Michelle Berg Who? Chris Beavis, manager of Hotel Senator, Rembrandt’s and Winston’s Pub. What? The Hotel Senator — along with Winston’s English Pub and Rembrandt’s Fine Dining and Wine Bar — a historical building that provides elegant cuisine, an English pub experience and a Europeanstyle stay. Where? 243 21st St. E., in Saskatoon. When? The Flanagan Hotel (now the Senator) was built in 1908 by James Flanagan. The building was designed by Walter W. LaChance, one of the first architects to locate to Saskatoon. The hotel opened on April 21, 1908. In 1935 it was permitted to sell beer and in 1940 was renamed the Senator. The hotel has been in the Beavis family since 1967. Chris Beavis started working as a bell hop in 1982 and has been manager since 1987. “I hope it stays in my family. I don’t know if anything will change in the future, who knows? I’ve put a lot of time and effort and sweat and equity in here, along with my dad and my family, so I’m hoping that it passes on.” Why? “Whenever we do a renovation, like the lobby, we keep it with a historical or heritage theme, trying to keep it what it used to look like as much as possible. “Winston’s is very much a traditional English pub. We’ve worked hard in keeping that look since dad renovated in 1979. It had a lot of those characteristics then. We’ve kind of brought it forward, more so in the English pub look, probably in early 2001 and 2002. Rembrandt’s has more of a Victorian style feel to it — a very grand dining room. We haven’t done a lot to Rembrandt’s to change the look and decor other than enhance a few smaller rooms in the back area and add a wine gallery for the fine dining aspect. And the hotel has a European style to the rooms — all different sizes and shapes. We brought them back to the original 10 foot ceilings and did a lot of renovations and work to the guest rooms as well.” How? “I usually acquire some of the pieces myself and my aunt Barbara with Barbara’s Interiors is consulted for the major decisions when it comes to design and decor. There are only a few pieces left that dad got in 1979 as far as Winston’s. I usually pick up things as I go from antique houses or on eBay. “We usually hit up a lot of auctions when we get a chance ... I would love to bring back pieces from England. I’ve been over there and know exactly where I would go, but it’s extremely expensive.”

GARDENING #

L aw n s

Where less may be more By Sara Williams Lawns are among our landscape’s biggest water consumers. To look good, traditional lawn grasses need more water than is available through natural precipitation on the Prairies. During the summer months, approximately 50 per cent of household water is used on the landscape, mainly on lawns. Historically, lawns were once natural meadows used as public space in towns and villages in Europe — places for grazing livestock and holding meeting and fairs. In the 18th and 19th centuries, lawns surrounded the homes of rural gentry and were cropped short by sheep. The invention of the lawn mower in the 1830s made lawns manageable even for the urban middle class. Since the Second World War and the introduction of synthetic pesticides, lawns have become a suburban status symbol. They occupy the largest amount of space in our landscape — a reflection of North Americans’ outdated concept of space and low population — and encourage a quest for perfection that motivates some of us to overapply water, fertilizer and pesticides in their care. Lawns are resilient, comfortable and safe places for play and leisure. They reduce dust, glare and air pollution, while helping to control erosion and runoff. Grass also lowers summer air and surface temperatures. As a design component, a lawn provides the negative space that sets off flowerbeds, mixed borders and specimen trees in our landscapes. As well, they provide a perception of space and openness that is dear to the prairie dweller. That long sward of green lawn is psychologically therapeutic, giving us a sense of quiet, calm and well-being. Conventional lawns must be watered. Expenses involve the water itself and the equipment used to deliver it. Lawns are costly to establish and to then maintain over the many decades of their life. Mowing

involves equipment and its maintenance, as well as gas and oil or electricity and extension cords. Fertilizers and pesticides are generally applied, often at higher rates than needed. Nutrients and other chemicals applied to the lawn may end up polluting waterways and aquifers. And few of us consider mowing a labour of love. Take a second look at the amount of turf you have and consider what you actually do with it. Survey the lawn areas of your landscape. What is the function of each area? How is each area used by your household? Space used for leisure — where you sit or lie on it, a toddler toddles

on it, a teenager sunbathes on it — should be left as conventional lawn. But consider redesigning that area to match your irrigation system’s pattern to conserve water. Some parts of your lawn may be so intensively used that they would be better converted to hard surfaces such as decks or patios. These can withstand heavy amounts of human traffic and need no water, fertilizer or mowing. Such areas are usually immediately adjacent to the house. Other areas of your lawn are there simply by default. They are seldom walked on unless you are behind a mower. They may consist of odd strips or difficult-to-reach corners.

Long, narrow areas between the sidewalk and the driveway are almost never used as lawn and are easily replaced with low maintenance, drought-tolerant ground covers. Many areas of a conventional lawn are seen but not actually used, their function purely visual. Entire front lawns could easily be converted to beds of drought-tolerant ground cover, flowers, shrubs and ornamental grasses. All provide colour, texture and form. They would become much more interesting and, once established, involve less maintenance. On farms and acreages large areas of lawn are usually for a visual effect. They are composed of rough

bunch-type grasses and were never intended to be walked or sat upon. They are never watered or fertilized and are mowed only as needed. These may be left as is, or over-seeded with more recently developed low-maintenance grass cultivars. They may be visually broken up by mass plantings of drought-tolerant perennials, ornamental grasses or tree-shrub borders.

Celebrate the grilled cheese in April By Jenn Sharp Crisp grilled bread that leaves a film of butter on your fingertips. Gooey cheese oozing out as you try to take another bite to catch it. Eating a grilled cheese sandwich is one of life’s simple pleasures — one that’s apparently worth celebrating for an entire month. April is National Grilled Cheese Month. I’m unclear on who has decided this (probably a processed cheese manufacturer). The celebration originated in the United States although no one is sure when. For the last 10 years, there’s been a Grilled Cheese Invitational cook-off held in California to mark the end of the celebration. A local food blogger has decided to honour the grilled cheese by posting a different creation every day. Bob Deutscher has posted the first 11 on his blog, BS’ In the Kitchen, along with recipes so you can recreate the sandwiches at home. Deutscher kept his recipes pretty simple, although he experimented a lot with different ingredients and cheeses. Creating the 30 sandwiches would have been a cheese-lovers dream. Deutscher’s fridge was stocked with cheese for days on end. He says it wasn’t too difficult to come up with the recipes (and testing them was the best reward.) He admits he got a little sick of grilled cheese though. A few times he piled a bunch of items together — like in the Masochist, a bacon, avocado and feta concoction. “Basically anything cheese-related, I turned into a sandwich,” he says. That explains how lasagna, scalloped potatoes and poutine ended up on the list. April 12 is also National Grilled Cheese Day. Hard to believe a sandwich gets a month AND a day devoted to it. But it does. It’s practically a staple food after all and worthy of honouring. I guess. Maybe May can be “Buy Stretchy Pants Month?” According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the first grilled cheese can be traced to the 1920s when cheap sliced

bread and cheese were widely available. “Called a ‘cheese dream’ during the Great Depression, the concept sometimes involved ham or bacon, or perhaps eggs, cayenne, mustard or mayonnaise, browned on both sides and served in tomato sauce at Sunday supper,” states the website. The best pairing for a grilled cheese

is a thick tomato soup. Imagine how excited I was to see a Tomato Soup Grilled Cheese on BS’ In the Kitchen. It’s a simple concept but I’ve never thought of doing it before — spread a layer of tomato soup concentrate on the cheese before grilling. It all melts together, eliminating the need for a soup dip. Brilliant. Deutscher and his sister Carlene

started their blog — where comfort food posts like grilled cheese regularly get the most views — three years ago. They now get about 100,000 unique views per month and are attracting the media’s attention. The Huffington Post featured them as one of the best food bloggers of the month earlier this year. Food companies regularly ask to share the sib-

lings’ unique recipes on their sites too. The combination of beautiful food shots and their inventive recipes is a big draw.
