Din Din’s Book combines art and poetry My name is Diane SytarchukKent. My book is named Din Din’s Book Of No Nonsense Poetry #1. I have lived in Saskatchewan all my life and I love this province and our country Canada. I dare say, I, myself, am not a very good reader. Still, I love to create. My book is a product of a love of poetry and a love of rhyme. It has about 350 physical pages. Combine this with a love of art and a love of my youngest child — who is delayed and autistic — and you will have an illustrated book of poetry with built-in social stories.

The pictures in all the margins of every page of every poem are the hidden meanings to the words of every page of poetry. I want to help autistic children and people understand concepts they may not otherwise be able to understand. I wish to make more books in the future on the same principle. I have my book at McNally Robinson Booksellers in the children’s help section. McNally’s also have my three original music CDs. They are: 1. Welcome To My World (in 2010), 2, What A Gift (in 2012) and 3. I Dance By Myself (in
2014). I have created all the lyrics and music. Check them out. They are different. I also like to paint and have been known to paint up some of my guitars. My book is available in hardcover, paperback and e-book, online — on almost any bookordering website. This book will not only appeal to autistic people or those who are having difficulties — it will also appeal to the average reader. If you like art, poetry or rhyme and are interested in a universal form of language — check it out. It could be the cuneiform or hieroglyphics of our modern age.

Campfire tunes a time-honoured tradition By Sean Trembath Sitting around the campfire is one of the most time-honoured parts of a weekend away from the city. Once the blaze is burning, an acoustic guitar is often not far behind. We spoke to some Saskatchewan artists about what music they like — and hate — to play and hear while hanging by the fireside.
Codie Prevost is a driving force in Saskatchewan’s country music scene. supplied photo
Codie Prevost Q: What is your favourite song to play or sing by the fireside? Why? A: My favourite songs to perform around the campfires are any classic country songs by Johnny Cash. I grew up on the farm and playing these songs around a campfire makes me feel right at home. Q: Do you consider music a key part of the camping experience? A: Music is a huge part of camping. It brings out joy in people. It encourages singing, dancing and just having a good time. Q: Are there any common campfire songs you cannot stand? A: If I never heard, Put Another Log On The Fire, again it would not hurt my feelings lol! Originally from Archerwill, Prevost is a force in the Saskatchewan country music scene. He took home three categories at the 2014 Saskatchewan Country Music Awards, adding to an alreadypacked trophy case. His latest album, All Kinds of Crazy, came out last year.
Alex Shenton (Bastard Poetry)
Q: What is your favourite song to play or sing by the fireside? Why? A: It’s a little bit ridiculous actually — the first song I ever wrote was by campfire and is titled, Lonely little camping song. Haha. It remains one of my favourite campfire tunes to this day simply because of the nostalgia of living out on the road and what it meant to me then. Q: Do you consider music a key part of the camping experience? A: I have always enjoyed music camping whether playing it or just having it as backing track from the truck speakers. I associate camping with jamming, dancing and fun with friends quite a bit in my memories. I also think the complete silence and tranquillity of nature is just Alex Shenton of Bastard Poetry plays his track Lonely Little Camping Song. as beautiful and is supplied photo music in its own way when you are alone in the wilderness. Q: Are there any common campfire songs you cannot stand? A: Unfortunately yes. As a touring musician and a veteran of many open mics there are a lot of incredible and beautiful songs I have heard ‘misrepresented’ so many times. I would say Wagon Wheel and Knockin on’ Heavens door fall into that category — both which I am guilty of singing around many a campfire haha. All four members of Bastard Poetry have small town roots — they hail from Pincher Creek, Limerick, Elrose and Willow Bunch. The group released their latest album, Something that makes it beautiful to live, in May after a very successful Kickstarter campaign.

As well as being a singer, Rebecca Lascue is an actress and playwright.
SUPPLIED PHOTO
Rebecca Lascue Q: What is your favourite song to play or sing by the fireside? Why? A: My favourite cover song to play, pretty much no matter what the situation, is Alleluia by Leonard Cohen. It’s the type of song that suits any moment and always brings people together. Plus, when everyone sings the chorus it makes me ridiculously delighted. Q: Do you consider music a key part of the camping experience? A: I come from a musical family, and there are very few instances where we go anywhere without a guitar at hand. I think music has a way of bringing people together. Especially when you are lucky enough to have that one super-talented musician on hand who can play any song that is requested. I am definitely not talented enough to do that, but I sure wish I was! Q: Are there any common campfire songs you cannot stand? A: Haha, I think most of them are pretty funny. I was the dorky kid who got really homesick when I was young and therefore didn’t really go to camp, so I don’t know all the classics. However, over the years my boyfriend Michael, who spent most of his childhood summers at camp, has pulled out some pretty funny little tunes. Usually they’re pretty cute, and the way people seem to light up at the memories that come up when they sing the tunes is pretty great. After several years of performing, Regina’s Lascue released her first EP — Love, Loss, Hot Chocolate — late last year. She has performed alongside artists such as Ashley MacIsaac, Rae Spoon, Colleen Brown and Alexis Normand. When not singing, she works as an actress and playwright.

ON THE COVER #
As a young parent this is where I wanted my children to be in the summer. — Chris Arnstead
S U M M E R AT T H E L A K E
When summer arrives, Waskesiu Lake beckons By Sean Trembath Chris Arnstead had already visited Waskesiu Lake before she was even out of her mother’s belly. “The joke in my family is my mom had to leave the lake to go home and have me,” she says. Saskatchewan is known for fields of crops stretching as far as the eye can see. But for many, the real scene is water, trees, fishing rods and campfires. For Arnstead’s family, like so many others in the province, summertime is lake time. “Although we may not have much contact over the winter, this is where you can count on your family being in the summertime,” says Arnstead, whose main home is in Regina. Lake life moves at a different pace. It’s an escape from the city and its everyday stresses. “People have such a connection to this place that once you’ve been here as a child you just keep coming back,” she says. The number of years a family has been coming out to the lake is a point of pride. “If you meet anyone in Waskesiu, the first comment might be about the weather, but after that it’s almost always about how long they’ve been coming,” she says. As years pass and multi-generational traditions are established, lakesides become communities with social scenes and shared histories. At Waskesiu, many aspects of the local history have been preserved thanks to the efforts of a small, dedicated group of volunteers. ■ ■ ■

Herve and Ione Langlois point out features of the shack tent at the Waskesiu Heritage Museum on a summer Friday. Everything in the small space — a small fridge, a modest cupboard, some basins used for washing clothes the old-fashioned way — was donated by people who actually used them in years past.

The park is really a treasure. It’s really an important part of the province. — Herve Langlois

“We don’t have anything in here that doesn’t belong in Waskesiu,” Ione says. She knows the museum as well as anyone. She was part of the effort to establish it in 2005, and acted as its volunteer curator for its first nine years. It started with a $1,900 grant and a small bit of space to display old memorabilia.
“We outgrew it that summer. Then they let us expand outside that room, and then we outgrew that,” Ione says. Now in its 10th anniversary summer, the museum features the shack tent, a portable cabin, a replica camp kitchen like those used in the early days, a rail cart portaging a canoe and other outdoor attractions in addition to those housed in the main
inside exhibit area. They’ve had as many as 15,000 visitors in a single summer. The shack tent in particular resonates with the Langlois as they spent many summers in one of their own. They first came to the lake in 1980, staying in a camper-trailer. “Our kids fell in love with Waskesiu,” she says. In 1983, they bought a shack tent
and squeezed their six-member family inside. Even knowing their efficient use of space — Herve and Ione slept on a 41-inch bed, their three daughters on a triple bunk bed and their son on a couch — it’s hard to picture. They had electricity but no running water. There were communal bathrooms, which Ione says helped foster the sense of community.
“One thing that was really lost (with running water) was you would have to walk up the street to the bathroom and you’d visit along the way, and get the news of the day,” she says. There was a similar loss when bigger lots led to bigger cabins and the elimination of public camp kitchens. Continued on Page 8

Although we may not have much contact over the winter, this is where you can count on your family being in the summertime. — Arnstead

“People used to gather together for our meals, and play cards, in the camp kitchens,” Ione says. This is not to say the sense of community has disappeared. Groups you pass on the sidewalks or paths are likely to say hello. People greet each other by name and chat about the weather. “It’s a very safe, small town environment. Children are allowed a lot more freedom,” Arnstead says. That freedom, and the wealth of outdoor activities, made Arnstead’s decision to get a cabin for her family a no-brainer. “It was kind of a non-decision,” she says. “As a young parent this is
where I wanted my children to be in the summer.” Arnstead’s maiden name is Brayford, putting her in a clan that has been at the lake for four generations. Her grandfather ran a boat company which offered tours in the lake and surrounding area, and her father later took the business over. Arnstead became hooked on lake life. She says the air feels different. It invigorates her. “It’s very much an escape from the city and urban life. Up here the blue sky, and water, and gorgeous green of the trees, it’s just so revitalizing,” she says. Arnstead has taken over as cura-
tor of the museum. She was also part of a recent community initiative to create a new playground. Starting in 2013, people fundraised for the equipment. The community got together and put it all together earlier this summer. Standing next to the playground on a sunny Friday, Arnstead says she gets a lot of joy from seeing the lake’s next young generation running around the structures playing tag, climbing and zipping down slides. “Kids have a longer tether here than they do in the city,” she says. It’s not nearly as easy to establish a foothold in a place like Waskesiu as it used to be. The price of a cabin has
skyrocketed. “They’ve become unaffordable for the average family, whereas when we started coming here it was an inexpensive vacation,” Arnstead says. This hasn’t completely prevented newcomers from showing up. It’s still possible to enjoy the area, if only in temporary quarters. “We tend to think of the owners of the cottages and cabins as the mainstays, but there’s other people who have traditions here, but have always rented or camped,” she says. The lake remains a beautiful place to spend time with family and old friends. “I think families are looking for a
slower vacation. Time to just spend with each other,” Arnstead says. Herve and Ione, who live in Saskatoon, spend the majority of their summer at Waskesiu now that they are retired. With their kids having reached adulthood, the lake is a ready-made reunion point. “They still come to this day. They come back as often as they can,” Herve says. The simple truth is they love the place. It shines through when they talk about its history, its community and the time they get to spend there. “The park is really a treasure. It’s really an important part of the province.”

Summertime events around the province Looking for a good excuse to do some camping or spend some time at one of Saskatchewan’s lakes? Here’s a list of some of the marquee events coming up this summer: WHAT: Ness Creek Music Festival WHEN: July 16 to 19 WHERE: Ness Creek — 20 kilometres east of Big River WHY: This annual outdoor folk festival is a mainstay in Saskatchewan’s cultural community. A weekend of music, camping, art, dance and general tomfoolery. Whether you want to stay up all night dancing, learn new skills at
a workshop or bring your kids for a fun family weekend, Ness is the place for you. WHAT: Brightsand Lake Regional Park 50th Anniversary WHEN: July 18 and 19 WHERE: Brightsand Lake Regional Park — about 250 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon WHY: Celebrate a half-century of this park with a weekend of events. There are children’s activities all day, golf and slowpitch tournaments, arts and crafts, a talent show, a beer garden and some late-night fireworks. The main event
will be fit for a king, as an Elvis tribute band will provide live entertainment. WHAT: Old Wives Lake Festival WHEN: July 31 to Aug. 2 WHERE: Old Wives Lake and Mossbank — about 30 kilometres southwest of Moose Jaw WHY: A yearly tradition is made more special this year thanks to it coinciding with Mossbank’s centennial celebration. Events include history exhibits, a parade, a pancake breakfast, horsedrawn wagon rides and live music. While you’re there, check out the Old Wives Lake Bird Sanctuary, originally
sanctioned in 1925. WHAT: Saskatchewan Premier’s Walleye Cup WHEN: Aug. 6 to 8 WHERE: Tobin Lake (Nipawin) WHY: With more than $125,000 on the line, this is some serious fishing. An annual tradition since 1988, the event kicks off with a parade in Nipawin Thursday followed by two days of liverelease walleye fishing on the river section of Tobin Lake. Last year’s top fisher took home $40,250 in prize money, so the potential is there for a very lucrative weekend on the water.
WHAT: Standing Buffalo First Nation Powwow WHEN: Aug. 7 to 9 WHERE: Standing Buffalo First Nation — Qu’Appelle Valley, about 65 kilometres northeast of Regina WHY: Lake lovers will find plenty to do in the beautiful Qu’Appelle Valley. Standing Buffalo, home of one of the province’s longest-running annual powwows, is nestled between Pasqua and Echo lakes, with nearby Mission and Katepwa offering even more opportunity for camping, beaches, hiking, golf and water sports.

S A S K AT C H E WA N F O O D
Satisfying, nutritious and a taste of summer By Renee Kohlman I’m so very pleased to be writing for the Bridges team. When my editor suggested a recipe about camping food for this issue, I said yes! Absolutely! For sure! But I have to tell you the truth. I’m not much of a camper. In fact, I haven’t slept in tent since the last century and these old bones will be happy if it stays that way. Same goes with travelling in a motorhome. But, and this is a big but, I adore the wilderness. Let me roam free in a forest for a few days and I’m a happy camper. I just prefer my home base to be something that includes a bed, running water and four walls to escape to when the bugs become apocalyptic. Does that make me a glamper? Then so be it. I’ve found sanctuary in the yurts at Flora Bora in the north and the rustic cabins at Reesor Ranch in the south. Food, of course, has always been a major attraction, next to the call of the loons and the northern lights. What you pack along for provisions is always an important part of a camping trip, whether you are sleeping under the stars or beams of a cabin. I make sure my food groups of cheese, chocolate and chips are covered, then I add in a loaf of good bread, milk, butter, eggs, bacon, fancy salami, fruit, vegetables, nuts, cooked lentils or chickpeas and whatever protein I feel like grilling. I don’t think I’ve eaten a hot dog since last century either, so I give them pass and opt for good sausages made locally. Being a food geek, I’ll have made up the menu for however long I’m away and pack accordingly, prepping things like vinaigrettes, pancake mix and energy bars at home. I nerd out over my packing list, with coffee and wine circled in red marker, because heaven help me if I leave those behind. The condition of the weather directly affects how much and when food is consumed. Glorious sunny
days, one is out and about canoeing and hiking, pausing to nibble on a packed sandwich and an energy bar. A day of rain pretty much equals alternating acts of eating, reading and board gaming. Oh, and napping. My glamping ways do include the building and stoking of fire. I swear it’s in our Canadian DNA to eat as many roasted marshmallows until we feel ill. But that’s the glory of our short summer. Those blazing coals also turn ordinary ingredients into amazing meals. Take this simple foil package dinner I adapted from my friend Aimée’s blog Simple Bites. Chunks of sausage, potatoes, chopped peppers and zucchini are nestled in tinfoil along with slices of onion, garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil. Salt and pepper the whole deal, fold and seal into a tidy package and let it hang out in the coals for about 10 minutes. The bed of hot coals creates charred bits of goodness inside, making this meal not only satisfying and nutritious, but tasting like summer, too. Best part? Not many dishes to wash. You’re on holiday after all.
Sausage and Vegetable Foil Dinner with Garlic and Herbs
I like to make up an extra package or two for breakfast the next day. Simply chop the meat and veg into smaller pieces, throw into a skillet with some butter and once it’s hot, pour in whipped eggs and you have a simple and tasty frittata. For a vegetarian version of this meal, simply substitute the sausages for cooked white beans. Chunks of garden fresh tomatoes would also be lovely, making it a bit more saucy. No fire? No problem. This recipe works just as well on a gas grill, though it lacks the majestic aroma of wood smoke. > 8 precooked sausages, cut into chunks > 2 pounds of new potatoes, parboiled and cut in half > 2 sweet peppers, yellow and red, cut into chunks
Sausage and Vegetable Foil Dinner with Garlic and Herbs cooked on a bed of wood coals makes a perfect meal for your camping trip. BRIDGES PHOTOS BY RENEE KOHLMAN
> 2 medium zucchini, cut into chunks > 1 small red onion, cut into chunks > 12 cloves of garlic, smashed > handful of fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, thyme torn into pieces > olive oil for drizzling > salt and pepper
Instruction Prepare a fire and let it burn down to coals. Lay six large pieces of tinfoil on the picnic table or countertop. Ar-
range sausages, potatoes, vegetables and herbs evenly over each. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Bring opposite corners of foil together and seal. Fold over the seam and seal it into a secure package. Place on coals and roast, turning once in a while, for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove and dig in. Makes 6 servings. Recipe adapted from Aimée WimbushBourque.

GARDENING #
G a r d e n i n g i n S a s k at c h e wa n
A splash of yellow will draw the eye to your garden By Erl Svendsen Yellow brings to mind the warmth of the sun and the richness of butter, and represents contentment and cheeriness. On the downside, it is one of the most fatiguing colours to look at. And yet, when used judiciously, it draws the eye to highlight important elements. For this reason alone it’s utilized extensively in advertising, for legal pads and textbook highlighters. This is a characteristic that we can take advantage of in our gardens. Use yellow to accentuate dark areas, highlight or complement other plants, draw attention to a focal point, or add an element of surprise and interest when coming around a corner. But use too much, and the scene becomes difficult to look at. In our gardens, yellow can be found in flowers [‘The Rocket’ ligularia (Ligularia stenocephala ‘The Rocket’)]; leaves [‘Mini Sunglow’ spirea (Spiraea x bumalda ‘Mini Sunglo’)]; and stems [‘Bud’s yellow’ dogwood (Cornus sericea ‘Bud’s Yellow’)]. ‘The Rocket’ ligularia (aka golden groundsel, leopard plant, and bigleaf goldenray) is a herbaceous perennial with a mound of foliage 30-60 cm in height and spread, consisting of large, roughly heart-shaped, dark green leaves in early spring. In mid- to late summer, tall (90 cm) narrow spikes of yellow flowers are held well above the leaves. Ligularia grows well in partial sun to full shade and prefers well drained but evenly moist soil. A good plant for a bog garden or in a shady woodland bed; it is not drought-tolerant. ‘Mini Sunglo’ spirea is a seedling of the more common, but larger ‘Goldmound’ spirea. A dwarf, compact shrub with a height and spread of 30 to 38 cm, it sports small, bright yellow leaves. Dainty pink cloud-like flower clusters appear in June. Once the flowers have faded, prune them off to promote a second flush of flowers in July or early August. It grows best in full sun, but tolerates partial shade. However, the more shade, the less intense the yellow foliage, tending more toward lemonlime. It prefers well drained soil and is droughttolerant once established. It does not do well in overly moist soil. In late fall (or very early spring before new growth starts) prune entire shrub down to 10 to 15 cm to be rewarded with a perfect rounded yellow mound in early May. This is an excellent plant for a mixed or shrub border. Bees love it! Cornus sericea is the common red osier dog-

wood with stems typically red, but ranging from muddy brown to olive green. In contrast, the cultivar ‘Bud’s Yellow’ has bright yellow stems on one and two year-old branches. These are especially attractive in the late winter and spring landscape. Older branches eventually turn brown. With a height and spread of 1.8 to 2.1 m, it has medium green leaves 5 to 8 cm long, and white flower clusters in June, followed by white berries. Plant in moist, well drained soil, although drier conditions may be tolerated for short periods. Place in full sun to nearly full shade, but the less sun, the less yellow the stems. Since the youngest stems are the brightest yellow, up to
30 per cent of the oldest growth may be pruned out each spring. Alternatively, you can prune the entire plant to ground level in the spring every three years. Other excellent yellow plants include Mother Lode creeping juniper (needles), ‘Depressa Aurea’ common juniper (needles), ‘Midas Touch’ hosta (leaves), ‘Northern Gold’ forsythia (flowers), ‘Aura’ creeping jenny (leaves), ‘Marguerite’ sweet potato vine (leaves; other yellow cultivars as well), ‘Gold Heart’ bleeding heart (leaves), ‘Sunsation’ barberry (foliage), ‘Dart’s Gold’ golden ninebark (foliage), ‘Goldenlocks’ elder (foliage), Neon Burst dogwood (foliage), and the yellow-flowered ornamental onion (Allium flavum).

Portuguese wine reaching folklore status in Sask. If you pursue wines you love, or wines you may love but have yet to try, or wines you’ve just heard about, you will be well acquainted with cryptoenology. This is the science of wines which if not mythical sure don’t show up where you live. One of the usual places to be disappointed is the Portuguese wine section. Not because their wines disappoint me. But because outside of Portugal and New Jersey, there are few stores carrying the stuff. Meet my latest recommendation that will very shortly become a mythical beast in this province, a wine which you will have about the same probability of finding as proof of a Sasquatch. (You may have better odds on the Sasquatch). I found it at Co-op, and although I recommend it, the point of this article is to encourage you too, to keep an eye on the Portuguese wine aisle and buy wines that may be similar. How did I buy it? It had “reserva” on the label which means about two years in the barrel and another one or two in the bottle before release. It had a vintage older than four years. Both tend to provide more integrated, slightly more sedate wines. It is from Dao, a region that has been appellation certified for more than 100 years and produces lush wines with great structure. This last one isn’t a deal breaker. If I saw a 2007 Reserva from a region I didn’t know, I’d buy it and try it.
