I’m basically in film because I took this film camp . . . – Jason Rister

SUMMER ACTIVITIES

A summer camp guide

Jason Rister attended the Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative camp as a teenager. This summer, he’s an instructor at the camp. QC PHOTO BY DON HEALY

By QC staff Jason Rister has his cousin to thank for his introduction to the Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative camp eight years ago. He was a 15-year-old interested in film — YouTube was brand new, after all. But his cousin Dyan Roth was getting married that summer, and she wanted him to shoot her wedding video. Rister, living on his family’s farm in Vanguard, was happy to oblige. For a week in July, he roomed at Roth’s house in Regina while attending the day camp, which cemented his desire to pursue a film career.

“I would have still been testing the waters” without the camp, said Rister, now 23. “It kind of throws you in the deep end, but I found it a really rewarding experience and that really solidified it for me.” Rister finished his film and video production studies last April at the University of Regina and is now working as a freelance filmmaker. He is also one of four instructors at this year’s Filmpool camp. He thought the position would be a good way of giving back. “I’m basically in film because I took this film camp when I was younger, so I felt like I kind of owe the Filmpool and I owe it to the

next generation of kids who have an interest in filmmaking and the arts,” said Rister. The camp, now in its ninth year, teaches students about shooting, lighting, sound recording and editing, while working in a variety of genres (documentary, experimental, animation and narrative). Unlike many other specialized summer camps, film is the sole activity on the table here. The end goal is a screening at the Regina Public Library (RPL) Film Theatre on the last day of camp. In Rister’s year, he directed the camp’s narrative film. All of the students in the camp

(16 this year — it’s small to maximize participation) have a role on the crew, but the person with the coolest idea (as determined by the group) gets to direct the film. “I didn’t really have creative ideas so I intentionally came with an idea that was very, very vague with the hopes that people could like it,” said Rister. “And it worked.” They ended up shooting a fight scene in Victoria Park “I distinctly remember doing one of the takes and laughing so hard at what we just filmed, that that was the moment I decided I wanted to stay with film.”

Rister has come a long way since then. He lists narrative storytelling as one of his strengths — proof, he won the best narrative award at the Living Skies Student Film Festival in March for his film Isaiah. He also works behind the camera in filming, editing and colour correcting. For the record, Rister did a bangup job with his cousin’s wedding tape. “I had fun with it. (Camp) gave me a few ideas ... instead of your typical family-member-shooting-awedding-video, shaky-cam style, I tried to spice it up and tried to have a little better quality.”

POWER OF BEING A GIRL DAY CAMP July 7-25 at YWCA For girls aged 7 to 12 Applications closed: www.ywcaregina.com

COMPCAMPS July 7-18 at the University of Regina For youth aged 12 to 17 compcamps.com

Empowerment is the aim of this girls-only day camp. Sure, the Big Sisters-run camp offers fun activities like rock climbing, yoga, canoeing and swimming. But girls will also learn a lot about self-esteem, healthy relationships, dating, discrimination, body image, bullying and Internet safety, which will help them make wise choices long after camp is over. The five-day day-camp includes field trips to places like Level 10 Fitness, Paper Crane Community Arts Centre, Ipsco Park and Willow Island.

If you like computers, this is the perfect camp for you. Hosted by Mentor Systems Inc. since 1992, these five-day day-camps are designed for youths who like a challenge and enjoy technology. Working individually and in small teams, campers will learn webpage design, programming, graphic design, 3D modelling and video editing. But the whole camp doesn’t involve a computer screen — other activities include Laser Quest, swimming, Matrix Gaming and a barbecue. REG31302774_1_1

Ranging from three to eight days, all of its programs are about building community, getting up close with nature and developing leader-

ship skills. In addition to regular activities like swimming, canoeing, archery and cookouts, older campers can choose a focus: There’s an arts camp (with more visual arts, drama and music activities), a construction camp (in which they’ll design and build two cabins) and an outdoor adventure camp (wilderness survival focus).

SFL SUMMER CAMP Aug. 10-16 at the Calling Lakes Centre in Fort Qu’Appelle, 75 kilometres northeast of Regina For children of union members aged 13 to 16 www.sfl.sk.ca/events/summercamp

QC FILE PHOTO BY DON HEALY

Though it includes beach time, tubing, crafts and games, this summer camp has a larger purpose — as you might have guessed, considering its host is the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, which founded the camp in 1989. During the six-day overnight camp, young people will discuss and explore issues in social justice and equality surrounding human rights, solidarity, ageism, sexism, racism, homophobia and more. They’ll develop skills in organizing, problem solving and decision making. On the second day of camp, the students negotiate a collective agreement — including articles about bed times, allowance for electronic devices and duration of the dance on the last night of camp.

“The youth have a voice at this camp,” said camp co-ordinator Sarah Cibart. “It’s empowering.” Cibart was 13 when she attended the first of her four years of SFL camp. She has been the camp coordinator since 2010. “The camp empowered me at an age where I was trying to create my own identity. It taught me that I had a voice and that I was important.” Cibart credits the camp with her current career path — she is pursuing a justice studies degree in university. “(The camp) showed me that I wasn’t alone in wanting to fight for justice and equality of every person,” she said.

CORNWALL CENTRE THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN REGINA

For L-P Specialty Products

For over 30 years, the Cornwall Centre in downtown Regina has been a destination for customers to shop, eat and socialize. It has become a staple in the Regina landscape, though it’s possible that not everyone in the city realizes just how much the shopping centre now offers. “If you haven’t been to Cornwall Centre for a while, you might be surprised by all of the changes,” said Doug Kozak, general manager of the Cornwall Centre. He explained that the shopping centre has added 16 businesses in the past three years, including both retail and dining options. In the past year alone, Cornwall Centre has brought in Sephora, Bath & Body Works, lululemon athletica and Pandora. All are well-known desirable brands that are new to the city, and the Bath & Body Works retailer was the first in Saskatchewan. The food court, too, has seen its share of changes. This past year, the Cornwall Centre brought in Freshii, and the two years prior saw the addition of Trifon’s Pizza, Kung Pao Wok and Zam Zam Wraps. “Freshii and Zam Zam Wraps specialize in health-conscious food, and we have those old favourites for those that still love traditional food court cuisine,” said Kozak. The variety of options available in the food court hasn’t gone unnoticed by shoppers. Kozak explained that the food court drives a significant amount of business into the shopping centre during the week, and that it produces over $11 million in food sales annually. The reason so many popular retail and dining brands have been coming to the Cornwall Centre, said Kozak, is the shopping centre’s high productivity rate. “We’ve surpassed a shopping centre industry sales productivity threshold that has elevated our profile to a point where first-to-market retailers are calling us, instead of us having to go to them,” he said. “We have many desirable retailers knocking on our door.” When looking at sales

productivity of shopping centres across Canada, the Cornwall Centre ranks in the top 40. In addition to changes in its retail offerings, the Cornwall Centre has also altered its parking to encourage shoppers to come downtown. While the price of parking in the shopping centre’s two parkades rose in January, the per-hour cost still makes them a desirable parking option for shoppers in the city’s downtown core. Changes to the daily parking rate opened up more space for shoppers’ vehicles. “Often, people who don’t work downtown tend to stay away from downtown, as they believe it is hard to find a place to park. This just isn’t true, and we’ve taken steps to ensure our shoppers have a place to park,” said Kozak. These steps include: • The per-hour parking rate is the same as the per-hour cost of parking at a meter. • Free parking for shoppers after 5 p.m. on weekdays, and all day Sundays and holidays. • The maximum parking charge for shoppers is only $4 on Saturdays, so you can shop as long as you like. • A designated “family area” for parking on level P3 of the Saskatchewan Drive parkade. Shoppers who choose to park in the parkades enjoy the following value-added amenities and services: • Protection from the weather. • No meters to plug.

Kozak said that the Cornwall Centre has seen a rise in customers over the past year, as well as more shoppers who stop by after work during the week. Customers are also drawn to the events held in the shopping centre throughout the year. An average of one or two events are held in the Cornwall Centre each week; they range from smaller events — like a vehicle draw — to larger community events, such as the Z99 Radiothon or the Regina Food Bank’s CANSTRUCTION event. “We play a big part in the community we serve and we’re proud to be a community supporter,” said Kozak. “We offer our space free to various charitable organizations, nonprofit organizations and community events.” The result of this support has been tremendous. Organizations who hosted their events in the Cornwall Centre in 2013 collectively raised over $1 million in support of various charities. Promotion of community events not intended to raise money — such as Mosaic’s kick-off week — received plenty of exposure because of the number of people who came across them while shopping. The shopping centre also partners with various organizations, including Saskatchewan Fashion Week, in order to help them host events outside of the shopping centre’s doors. The Cornwall Centre is proud to be a major player in Regina, both as southern Saskatchewan’s dominant fashion shopping centre and as a community partner. More information about the Cornwall Centre can be found at www.cornwallcentre.ca.

• No worrying about your meter running out or fines for being late. • Cornwall Centre Security patrol the parkades, offering an added level of personal security and protection. • Convenient access via covered pedways to the shopping centre.

FREE PARKING AFTER 5 P.M. AND ALL DAY SUNDAY $4 DAILY MAX ON SATURDAY

The changes in parking and new additions to the shopping centre create a welcome invitation for shoppers.

SUMMER CAMP ESSENTIALS

Got your bags packed for camp? Don’t leave home without these essentials:

1. HAT: Look and stay cool while you protect those precious peepers from the sun. Bonus for parents — hats are hardier than sunglasses. 4.

2. FLASHLIGHT: Afraid of the dark? Nobody has to know about it — just sleep with your handly flashlight close by for nighttime bathroom excursions.

3. SLEEPING BAG: If it’s your first time away from home, a sleeping bag is the perfect place to hide your favourite teddy bear or blankie without looking like a chump in front of your cabin mates.

4. BAG OF CANDY: A great bargaining chip especially if you want to score the top bunk or get out of doing dishes.

5. SUNSCREEN AND BUGSPRAY: Nobody likes the lobster look so lather up! And keep the pesky skeeters at bay too. Tip to the wise: Aerosol bugspray can double as bear mace if you can spray it in his eyes. 6. WEENIE ROASTING STICK: Most camps should supply this essential, but in case they don’t, it’s always good to come armed. Just don’t get kicked out of camp for treating the stick like a sword.

You can see our hotel availability right on our website at visitminot.org/hotel-availability and don’t forget to see our coupon page before booking your hotel room at visitminot.org/coupons. To ensure there are no hassles at customs before leaving for Minot, here are a few tips: • Remember to bring proper identification. Make sure everyone travelling with you has proper documentation for leaving Canada. Birth certificates, passports and visas are the best insurance against problems at the border. • Visit a Canada Customs office to identify any valuables you may want to take to Minot from home. Items like cameras, jewelry and palm pilots can be recorded so that there are no problems coming back across the border. • Also, remember to check with Canada Customs if you plan to change or improve any part of your vehicle. If your vehicle breaks down while in Minot, the repairs must be declared at customs and you may not have to pay the duties. But if you improve your vehicle with special modifications (in other words, increase its value) Canada Customs law will no longer consider the vehicle Canadian. For further information, or to request a free visitors packet including coupons, lists of restaurants, things to see and do and where to stay, contact Minot Convention and Visitors Bureau at 1-800-264-2626 or visit the website at www.visitminot.org.

MINOT’S A REAL TRIP!

We’re ready for you.

Fun-filled North Dakota State Fair is just around the corner Minot’s claim to fame annual event is right around the corner. With rides, snacks and fun galore, guests return each year for nine consecutive days of non-stop entertainment. “We really pride ourselves in having something for everyone, of all ages and all types of people,” said Jennifer Hubrig, North Dakota State Fair marketing director. “No matter who you are, if you come out to the North Dakota State Fairgrounds, you can find lots of things to enjoy.” The week-long flurry of events and entertainment kicks off on July 18 and lasts through until July 26. Live entertainment will be featured almost every night, and includes some big-name performers like Lady Antebellum, Florida Georgia Line and Brad Paisley. These performers and more are included within the purchase of a Grandstand Showpass. Separate from the Grandstand Showpass, will be performances from John Mellencamp and

Three Days Grace. The week will be jam-packed with special events for people of all ages and all talents. With events like an essay contest, team trivia, a cake decorating contest, clown contest, fruit and vegetable carving contest, 4-H film festival, hot dog eating contest, and arm wrestling championships, there won’t be a dull moment on the fairgrounds. For those on a tight budget, several coupons and promotions can be found on the websites plan section. These promotions allow for half price gate admission, less pricy ride arm bands and deals on NPRA Bull Riding. Once inside the fair, many contests, displays and performances are free of charge. Hubrig says this year’s fair will feature some innovative, original contests and competitions that will be interactive and link fair goers to social media and photo sharing. The fair uses both Twitter and Instagram to get those

Clues will be given out for the twitter contest throughout the week, so keep an eye on @ndstatefair. “We do have a lot of new contests that guest haven’t seen before. Most are targeted at children, but again there is something for everyone,” Hubrig confirmed. “Some of our new contests include kids joke telling, an amateur adult cupcake decorating contest, a hippity hop barrel race and even mutton bustin’.” The traditional agriculture fair events will be back again this year with countless competitive exhibits like livestock shows, a horse pull, a pony pull, 4-H exhibits, barrel racing, team roping and more. Since it started in 1965, the North Dakota State Fair has grown in scope and popularity.

MINOT’S A REAL TRIP!

We’re ready for you.

Roosevelt Park Zoo prepares to open for 2014 season By Jessica Mees L-P Specialty Products The staff and crew at the Roosevelt Park Zoo are preparing to stun visitors with changes and additions to the beloved favourite attraction. The zoo, which opened in 1920, has been a token family outing hotspot each summer. “We’re going to have another summer with construction on site due to the flood of 2011, but as opposed to where we were last year, it is a significant change. At this point last year, we had about ten animals back and now this year we have almost all of them here,” said David Merritt. Also expected by the end of the zoo season are some new editions. One of these new animals expected by the end of the season is a Japanese Mountain goat called a Serow. Unique from other goats, the Serow looks more like a wolf when seen head on. They are also just as feisty as other goats, with quite the

personalities. Another addition this summer is the return of the Bongo. Although they are behind in receiving the Bongo, it is for good reason. One of the Bongos travelling in the same shipment got pregnant and was unable to travel. The Roosevelt Park Zoo Bongos will be back before the season end for all to see. The word of new animals is always exciting, but for Merritt the most exciting thing in the zoo’s future is a brand new exhibit. “We have a new exhibit under construction at the moment. It is all very exciting. The original zoo building is a marvellous building that was built when the zoo opened. It has significant historic value to people who have been in Minot all their lives. It was the entire zoo for several decades,” said Merritt. “It was very beat up from the flood so we decided it needed a reuse and to be seen again. We decided we are going to open up an aviary inside. It is the perfect building

for that. There will be many new colours, movements and sounds when it is completed.” Of course, another exciting addition is the return of the summer reading program. Unable to hold the program for the last few years, the team has had even more time to prepare and get excite for the summer of 2014. Children are invited in to the Zoo to hear a story and have an opportunity for a “hands on” interaction with some of the chosen animal ambassadors. Admission to this event is $2 for members and $3 for non-members. The schedule can be found online. Purchasing a Zoo membership has great benefits. In addition to getting in free to the ever-changing zoo all season, members also get discounts on events, zoo camp, and a 10% discount in our gift shop. What many don’t know is that the pass can also get the member into many other zoos in the United States for free or half off.

For more information on the Roosevelt Park Zoo and this season’s events and adventures, visit www.rpzoo.com. New and exciting things are happening each day.

PAU L I N E M I N E V I C H

Art of Immersive Soundscapes Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved listening to radio dramas. I still do. I like to close my eyes and be swept along by the narration, but I’m also fascinated by the sound effects. Whether it’s a ship at sea in a storm, someone walking along a busy city street in the rain, or the wind swishing through trees in a quiet forest, sound creates vivid mental images that are all the more free because there’s no set picture to go with them. Your imagination can run wild. I think that’s what gave me an interest in soundscapes, the subject of this book of collected essays, Art of Immersive Soundscapes.

Co-editor Pauline Minevich

What is a soundscape? Anything you want it to be. Perhaps it’s a recording made while walking through a park in the winter, when all you hear is the crisp

crunch of the snow beneath your feet. Or perhaps it’s an imaginary world created with sampled sounds. Either way, you’re immersed in the interior world of the artist, so that’s where the term ‘immersive’ comes from. We try to listen more closely to the world around us. What might a soundscape of Regina sound like? You’d have to have the distinctive sound that signals the coming winter, the geese honking as they start their annual journey south. I think you’d also have to include the roar of the crowd at a Riders game! Several years ago, the University of Regina hosted a workshop

and a conference on immersive soundscapes, and they generated this book. My co-editor, Ellen Waterman, and I wanted to capture not just academic writing, but also artists’ statements and samples of their work, so the book includes a DVD that you can enjoy in 5.1 surround sound. We hope that after reading the book, people will think more deeply about their personal soundscapes and enjoy finding new sounds.

Five Caesars that drink like a meal By QC staff The Caesar is the king of Canadian cocktails. Virtually unknown outside of our country, it’s a spicy concoction of vodka, Clamato juice, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. It’s served in a saltrimmed glass and topped with a lime; you’ll often find a celery stick, jalepeno, asparagus or spicy bean for something to nibble on as well. Clamato is what really makes the Caesar unique. The American version, a Bloody Mary, uses tomato juice — a too-thick libation that hasn’t really caught on in Canada. It’s not just for Caesars either. Clam is to beer as what Ranch dressing is to hot wings. According to Wikipedia, Walter Chell, a restaurant manager at what was then the Calgary Inn, invented the Caesar in 1969 for the hotel’s new Italian restaurant. Chell’s Italian ancestry inspired the drink’s ingredients and the name (from a Venetian pasta dish that uses a mixture of clams and tomato sauce). Chell mashed clams to add to spiced tomato juice and the Caesar was born. Caesars aren’t something most drink all night. Rather, it’s a perfect drink to have while you wait for your meal to come because you get a little snack right in the glass! Lately though, industrious bartenders have been making Caesars to rival the appetizer plates on their menus. Where the trend started is unknown, but the over-the-top garnish has arrived in Saskatchewan. Read on for our five favourite Caesars that drink like a meal.

SHARP EATS FLIP EATERY & DRINK 1970 Hamilton St., Regina WHAT’S IN IT?: Their homemade “Clamato” is made of tomato juice, Clamato, Worcestershire, celery salt and lemon juice. Get it with traditional vodka or tequila, which pairs well with the housemade tomato juice. Garnished with pickled jalapenos, a wedge of lime and their housemade beef jerky. PRICE: $8.50

6TWELVE LOUNGE 612 Spadina Cres., Saskatoon (In the Sheraton)

CATHEDRAL VILLAGE FREEHOUSE 2062 Albert St., Regina

PRICE: $10

WHAT’S IN IT?: The juice: Clamato, vodka, pickle juice, Franks Red Hot (instead of Tabasco). The garnish: Pickle, lemon wedge, lime wedge, olives, pepperoncini, dill. The rim (yes, even the rim gets a mention, it’s that good): A mix of Montreal Steak Spice, celery salt, Frank’s Red Hot seasoning and lemon pepper seasoning.

WORTH THE PRICE?: Yes! If you like a garnish, this one’s for you. But even once you get through the antipasti-ina-glass, the drink is worth it. The pickle juice and hot sauce give the traditional Clam a nice kick — as does the citrus garnish, when squeezed. Unfortunately for Caesar lovers, the usual Sunday brunch is on hiatus for the summer. But make a point of revisiting the Freehouse for the special brunch Caesar, which is garnished with bacon (mmmm, bacon). BIRMINGHAM’S VODKA AND ALE HOUSE 2635 E. Starlite St., Regina

The Crazy Mary from 6Twelve Lounge in the Sheraton Cavalier in Saskatoon. QC PHOTO BY SEAN TREMBATH

WORTH THE PRICE?: Maybe — if you can get a drink anywhere these days for less than $6, that’s a decent deal. They call this Caesar “world famous,” which we think is a stretch. But if you’re looking for a no-frills classic Caesar, this is probably it. There’s nothing out of the ordinary, from the plain ol’ celery salt rim to the good ol’ Clamato. The place touts vodka in its name, so you can snazz up your Caesar with citrus or infused vodka.

WORTH THE PRICE?: If you really want a Caesar, then yes. If you’re open to a different beverage, we can think of others they do better (the old fashioned, for one). The spice doesn’t overtake the smooth tomato flavour (except when you bite into the pickled jalapeno, which loses none of its kick despite being pickled). The highlight is the smoky sweet beef jerky, made around the corner at Salt.

PRICE: $6.75, or $5 on Sunday

Birmingham’s Vodka and Ale House in Regina serves Caesars in mason jars. QC PHOTO BY ASHLEY MARTIN

PRICE: $5.75

WHAT’S IN IT?: Vodka, Clamato, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Garnished with a pickle, pepperoncini and lime wedge. Rimmed in simple celery salt.

WHAT’S IN IT?: Their signature Crazy Mary, made of bacon-infused vodka and bourbon with Clamato and spice, is rimmed with sea salt and pepper, and garnished with cheese, beef jerky, a pickle, an olive and a picked onion.

WORTH THE PRICE?: As long as the thought of a $10 cocktail doesn’t turn you off on principle, this one is worth taking on. There’s plenty for the price. The garnish alone is an undertaking, with each element playing off the drink itself in a different way. The cocktail itself is quite boozy (something we’d call a plus) with a distinct smoky flavour, from the bacon infusion, the bourbon, or both. BELL ‘N WHISTLE 243 Second Ave. S., Saskatoon WHAT’S IN IT?: The not quite aptly named Colossal Caesar has Lucky Bastard vodka, signature spices, mango-red pepper spice rimmer, asparagus, and a skewer of shrimp, pickled garlic and smoked cheese. PRICE: $6.75 WORTH THE PRICE?: Yes. The best part about the Colossal is the mango-red pepper spice rimmer. It’s like a dry version of Thai sweet chili sauce except it packs way more of a punch. Once all the rimmer is gone though, it’s just another Caesar. While the skewer can’t quite be classified as “colossal,” it is a nice touch, especially the smoked cheese and pickled garlic. However, the oversized shrimp was rather flavourless.

ASK ELLIE

When online dating, let instinct be your guide Q. I’ve been divorced for a couple of years and decided to try online dating. I’m a fairly confident woman, so I was very careful in deciding which profiles I’d respond to. One man passed my scrutiny and we had several pleasant online chats. I agreed to our first personal meeting over coffee in a public place. That day, I received a rambling email about how excited he was to meet me, how wellsuited we were, and urging me to come to his place as it was better to be alone to really get to know each other. I didn’t even reply. I know some online meetings have led to happy results, but I’m sure there are plenty of predatory types, like this guy, who are able to hook someone’s interest and lure them into an unsafe situation such as he was doing. I offer this as a warning to online daters: Don’t let your guard down and agree to anything your gut knows is possibly dangerous. Trust Your Gut A. Thanks for the alert. It’s good to remind others from your personal experience that despite hearing about successful online connections, far more turn out to be a waste of time, misleading fantasy, a downright scam or potentially harmful. Q. My son married earlier than planned due to an unexpected pregnancy. The quickly scaled-down wedding was organized and turned out lovely. All went well until after the baby was born, and her mother came to visit and stayed for the baby’s first month. Soon after, I felt increasingly unwelcome and uncomfortable, but attributed it to hormonal or post-natal issues. Suddenly, my daughter-in-law stated that she’s not attending a family function due to all the “tension” between us! I was shocked, especially when my son turned on me as well. When asked to clarify, she mentioned “things” that happened during the wedding and a baby shower I’d hosted, that have no true basis in fact. She threatened me with not seeing my grandson. My son says there’s nothing he can do! My husband visits unexpectedly and is welcomed. We’ve all been to counselling and were advised to leave them alone, that they’ll turn around when ready. That was six months ago. I now feel angry with my son for not standing up for his family. He’s also rejected his sister, who was always there for him, and he warned her that he didn’t think he could at-

Ask Ellie

tend her wedding later this year. What can I do if she’s not willing to see or talk to me and my son has turned his back on me? Devastated Grandmother A. It’s a tough situation since you don’t know what caused this sudden, severe breach. The counselling only addressed the immediate divide. Perhaps your husband could have a casual chat alone with your son, and ask if he knows the true origins of her reaction to you. There may be some actual unintended offense you can apologize for, just to break the ice. Or, your son may believe something false, and, while he has to support his wife, his father could assure him that you didn’t create this rift. If your husband is diplomatic and caring enough, your son may open up and tell more of what’s really going on. Then you and your daughter, too, can have a better understanding of his behaviour in all this. Meantime, acknowledge the child’s milestones with small gifts that his grandfather can deliver, so your interest in your grandson remains clear.

Q. I’m a man, 55, and married over 25 years. When my wife and I make love, which isn’t very often, she always turns her head away when I go to kiss her. I tell her I love her even after we come home from work but she just responds, “yes.” Why would she turn her head away when I go to kiss her? I know she’s not obligated to say she loves me. Rejected Kiss A. This must be a different response from that of the past, to cause you to write. Try to think of what’s changed around the time she started turning her head away. If it’s related to the timing or infrequency of lovemaking, perhaps there’s been a hormonal change, or even depression associated with menopause. Talk to her instead of seeking a kiss. Ask her how she’s feeling, and show a desire to understand about her well being; you may learn more.

GARDENING #

G A R D E N I N G I N S A S K AT C H E WA N

Passionate about passion flowers By Lyndon Penner A few years ago, people started putting tropical-looking plants in their gardens. Far from dying down, this trend continues to gain momentum. All the chic and stylish gardeners — even on the Prairies — are riding the wave. Hibiscus, oleander, castor beans, plumbago, citrus trees and the like are all making their way onto patios and decks. Depending on what kind of a summer we have, the results can be thrilling or underwhelming. Among the most determined of gardeners, Prairie people have not let the harsh climate and short season slow them down. More and more often, I’m being asked about the use of tropicals as seasonal interest plants or how to overwinter them properly indoors. One of the most exciting groups of tropical plants is the passion flower (Passiflora). These are appearing with surprising regularity at local garden centres. One of the most diverse groups of herbaceous plants in the world, they have an exciting history to go along with their exotic and other worldly flowers. Have you ever been to Ikea? You purchase a book shelf or a table, it comes in a box and you go home to assemble it yourself. A passion flower looks rather like someone went to Ikea, purchased a variety of floral parts, and took them home and assembled them into a blossom as best as they could. There is nothing else like them on Earth. They would not have been out of place in the film Avatar and having one in your garden is magical. There is no other word for it. Growing passion flowers in a prairie garden is a challenge, but certainly not something out of reach. I first started growing passion flowers when I was a teenager and though I killed quite a number of them, I eventually figured out how I could make them (reasonably) happy.

The first time one flowered for me I was 18. I was fairly sure that I had just accomplished something outside the realm of possibility. It was one of the most empowering gardening experiences I ever had. Since that time, I have grown many of them. Some were easy and rewarding, others were challenging and difficult. All have added interest to my gardening journey. They grow extremely quickly and, in the right setting, can produce their stunning flowers all summer long. They come in white, red, yellow, blue, violet, purple, pink and rose. Some are easier to grow than others, many can be overwintered indoors fairly easily and a few are richly scented. Getting them to produce fruit (yes, the famous passion fruit) is not something you should count on, but it’s not quite impossible either. It’s an easy group of plants to fall in love with. Having a passion flower in bloom in a prairie garden is like finding a diamond while digging your carrots. To keep a passion flower happy and flowering madly, you’ll need to feed and water them well. Plant them in well-draining potting media. Because they are tropical, they basically need to think they’re in South America: a sheltered, sunny spot protected from the wind and cold suits them best. Also, as vines, provide support for them to wrap their tendrils around and climb up and over! I have seen passion flowers naturalized in Hawaii. When I lived in Australia, I pulled them out of my garden as weeds. I never fail to be astounded and perplexed by these gorgeous and extremely distinctive plants. Lyndon Penner, author of The Prairie Short Season Yard, will be teaching an especially smashing introduction to passion flowers at the U of S Hort week, July 5-11, in Saskatoon. http://ccde.usask.ca/gardening/hortweek, 306-966-5546 or master.

Passion flowers are capable of blooming and thriving on the Prairies if given proper care.
