He said ‘Why don’t you make basses and I’ll stick with guitars.’ Then we shook hands and that was the start of it all. — Sheldon Dingwall
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MAKER
Dingwall basses make noise around the world By Chris Morin In the 1980s, Sheldon Dingwall found moderate success on the Alberta rock circuit. But it wasn’t until after he stepped out of the spotlight that he found international fame. Following his career as a musician, Dingwall founded a boutique instrument business in Saskatoon, crafting sophisticated electric bass guitars — a move that’s put his name in rock magazines across the world. The Saskatchewan native has sold his basses throughout North America, and has found niche markets in Europe, Japan and Russia. He’s heard his instruments on million-selling albums by Phil Collins, Loretta Lynn and Metallica. His basses have even appeared in Broadway musicals and on award shows like the Emmys. “It’s been a long ride, and the industry has changed in certain ways,” Dingwall says. “I’ve had so many customers come up and talk to me about what they are looking for. So as much as we might like to plan a product, there will always be someone out there who wants something different.” The challenge and the uncertainty have kept him going for more than two decades. Originally from Carlyle, Dingwall’s interest in music came at an early age. The bass wasn’t his first love; he started piano lessons at five, moved to drums at 10 and guitar at 12. Within two years he was teaching others to play both instruments. Discovering rock ‘n’ roll as a teenager, Dingwall eventually found himself in Edmonton’s burgeoning music scene, playing in a band called New York, New York. “We were mostly on the heavy side of rock,” recalls Dingwall. “But we weren’t above playing synth-pop.”

I would go through different combinations of bridges, necks and bodies, and that’s where I discovered that quality matters. — Dingwall
The group kept a rigorous schedule, touring Western Canada and playing some 200 nights a year. It was a “working band” that played six nights a week on the road. Many musicians travelled with their own P.A. systems, and would set up in whatever bars and clubs that would be willing to host or pay them. New York, New York shared the stage with several bigger names at the time, including The Powder Blues Band. Another highlight came when the band crossed paths with Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn. “When I met him, I was in full stage gear, which was back in the age of spandex and big hair,” laughs Dingwall. It was out on the road where he developed his chops as a player, but Dingwall also discovered the necessity of being able to fix a broken guitar at a moment’s notice. Dingwall had an uncle who had mentored him in building instruments. He started constructing guitars during his time at home, and then would take them out for a “torture test” while he was playing on stage. Continued on Page 11

“I would go through different combinations of bridges, necks and bodies, and that’s where I discovered that quality matters,” said Dingwall. “There would be a weak link that would fail on these guitars,
and they would fail at the most inopportune moment.” Playing in remote areas, Dingwall couldn’t afford to have his equipment fall apart while he was hours away from a music store. He
began making sure to pack components that could withstand the nightly pressures of onstage solos and shredding. When the band began to run out of gas and Dingwall began to pon-
der retiring from life on the road, the obvious idea was to take his love of handmade instruments to the next level. “It’s in my DNA. I started off with designing skateboards and learning
how to build them before moving on to mountain bike parts. “With anything that captures my attention, it isn’t long before I start thinking about how I could do it better.”

custom necks and guitar bodies to a few small builders in the U.S. and Hong Kong. He started on Broadway Avenue in the now-defunct HEL music store basement and then moved to the third floor of Uncle Ed’s Furniture Store on First Avenue. The instruments Dingwall makes have a distinctive look to them. The frets on the neck are fanned out, unlike electric bass guitars that have a more traditional look. That style came from Ralph Novak, an American musician who wanted an instrument that could accommodate his unique style of playing. Novak, says Dingwall, was the inventor of the modern-day fanned frets in the 1980s. “The idea behind the design is that it gives the lower notes of the bass more sustain,” Dingwall says. “I had been struggling with how to fix the lower notes on bass guitars. Someone from a piano background clued me in on the design.” Continued on Page 8

“I think a lot of entrepreneurs are wired this way.” Even though he left behind life on the road, Dingwall hasn’t forgotten the lessons he learned as a touring musician. “There are things hidden inside these instruments where most companies try and save money,” he says. “But this is where the heart of the instrument comes from — it’s where you need the quality the most.” After leaving New York, New York, Dingwall began manufacturing replacement guitar necks on a full-time basis. The necks led to bodies, which led to fully assembled guitars, which led to requests for basses. “I had built a few guitars for my own use when I was touring, and then I developed some necks that seemed to get a good response from other players,” said Dingwall. He officially launched Dingwall in 1988. Moving into making high-end instruments, he also began supplying

There are things hidden inside these instruments where most companies try and save money. But this is where the heart of the instrument comes from — it’s where you need the quality the most. — Dingwall

After finally getting an opportunity to meet Novak at a music trade-show, Dingwall still remembers receiving the final push he needed. “He said, ‘Why don’t you make basses and I’ll stick with guitars,’ ” recalls Dingwall. “Then we shook hands and that was the start of it all.” Popular music has been gravitating toward the lower bass frequencies for decades. Dingwall’s customers made clear that current bass guitar technology was not addressing their needs. It was also clear that pianos had no problem handling lower notes, says Dingwall. For a solution, he looked toward piano design. “The fanned-frets are an artifact of taking the multiple scale approach from pianos and harps and applying them to a bass,” he explains. “Like a piano or harp, the lower pitch
strings are longer and the higher pitched strings shorter. Using multiple scales, the frets need to be spread out on the bass side in order to line up with the notes properly.” The fan pattern is aesthetically striking, but it also requires more patience to master for most players. Players that play a lot of chords in the upper frets require a bit more adjustment, while musicians who hang down in the lower frets usually adjust within minutes. Dingwall was making an impact on the boutique instrument world. Then everything came to a grinding halt. On October 8, 1996, the building that housed his business burned to the ground. The fire was one of the biggest setbacks to his career. “That definitely put us back,” he recalls. “Some things could be replaced easily, but
there were notes from customers that I could never get back.” It took years before he had recovered fully, which included finding a new home for his operations. Nowadays he’s settled his business in the city’s north end. It’s also a place where several up-and-coming musicians have a place to ply their trade. Covered in sawdust, Joey Lorer is responsible for putting together the wooden pieces of the bodies of the bass guitars. He’s also the frontman of Old Joe and the Truth Hurts — a folk group that has played throughout Saskatchewan, including the Ness Creek Festival. Ryan Marshall, who contributes to quality control, is similarly found on stages with various acts throughout the province. You can also find him in the sanding room, making sure that the signature pieces of the basses comply with the highest standards.
“I consider him one of the best bass players in the city,” says Dingwall. Along with the Saskatoon-made Fury Guitar, Dingwall has helped bring the Prairies into a small but well-respected niche in North America. “Fury Guitar was the first Canadian electric guitar manufacturer. I think they deserve more recognition than they’ve got for that. I’m very proud to know them,” Dingwall says. “We have always had a well-deserved reputation for guitar players,” says Dingwall. “But our builders fly under the radar for the most part. Boutique instrument builders are by nature more of a ‘cult brand’ type of industry. By that I mean that although we may have a high-profile to a small number of players at the high-end of the market, we are largely unknown to the masses.”
READ MY BOOK #
ROLLI
I Am Currently Working On a Novel I Am Currently Working On a Novel is my fourth book, my third of short fiction and my first with Toronto’s Tightrope Books. I used the same daily method to create this book as I did my previous titles — I drank an extraordinary amount of coffee every morning (often two dozen or more cups) and then carefully wrote down everything that happened… Largely a collection of flash or very short fiction, the 70 stories in I Am Currently Working On a Novel range in length from one to seven pages. There are stories set in Hollywood, London and the bottom of the sea. There are stories about ghosts and robots, love and Pointillism, death and immortality. If you’ve been keeping a watchful eye on literary magazines, you’ll have noticed many of the tales in publications like Geist, Hayden’s Ferry Review, Transition and others. Early reception of the book has been excellent, with rave reviews in PANK, Flash Fiction Chronicles, Heavy Feather Review, Neon, Transition and others. And it was recently longlisted for the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award — the world’s richest prize for short fiction. The publisher was kind enough to let me draw the book’s cover image — a kind of grim cartoon. I draw cartoons for a wide variety of magazines, actually: Reader’s Digest, Harvard Business Review, Chronicle of Higher Education, Barron’s, Adbusters and lots of others. Rolli

Spice mixes make healthy meal prep easy By Jenn Sharp A Saskatchewan company is making it easy to eat fresh, organic spices and herbs. Splendor Garden, based near Watson, is a line of flavourful, high quality spices and herb mixtures. The allpurpose seasoning mix is one of my favourites; sprinkle it on rice, roasted vegetable or chicken dishes. Try the veggie dip on perogies or potatoes and the jerk seasoning on anything to which you want to add a little heat. Splendor Garden began as a health initiative after owner Colleen Haussecker was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010. “When you go through something like that, you’re always looking for ways to eat healthier,” she says. She wanted to find a way to consume more nutrients without taking in more food. “We’re really missing out on the nutritional benefits of spices and herbs by not using enough of them.” She started looking for a good line of organic spices and herbs but couldn’t find much. The ones she did find were high-priced or only sold in bulk. “I’d rather buy a small amount, and buy it fresh and have it taste good.” In 2012, she quit her job in sales and began developing a business plan for Splendor Garden. Haussecker attributes the decision to her faith. “I have a strong belief and faith in God and felt that this is what I was being called to do. So I took a huge leap of faith and here we are today.” That leap of faith paid off. She launched the company in 2013 with 48 different spices and herbs. She’s since added more spices, along with gift boxes. Splendor Garden is now sold in almost 400 stores across Canada. “The one thing that makes us stand out is our quality. People really notice a difference.” Smoked paprika is a favourite of Haussecker’s; she uses it on everything from roasted vegetables to
Jerk chicken made with Splendor Garden’s spice. QC PHOTOS BY LIAM RICHARDS
steak. Cinnamon is a top seller; try it on oatmeal and you’ll hardly need any brown sugar. She says that was the purpose behind the line: “For people to be able to use spices and eliminate using sugar, butter and salt to flavour food.” Splendor Garden’s organic spices are imported from several different countries. Everything is certified organic from the growers and tested again as a guarantee by Haussecker’s supplier. The certified organic status means that chemicals and synthetic fertilizers are not used and the grow-
ers from which the spices are sourced use non-GMO seeds. The spices come to her plant in Watson in bulk, where they’re put into the retail packaging. (By the way, Haussecker also moonlights as an artist. She painted the watercolour logo design on the packaging.) She’ll be expanding the product line this fall.

Encourage a love of physical ac�vity in youngsters (MS) — Children aged five to 11 should spend at least 60 minutes a day engaged in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical ac�vity, according to the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, (CSEP). While fulfilling those requirements might not have been a problem for kids who grew up before the dawn of the Internet, kids are now spending less �me playing outside and more �me on their computers or other devices. That reality is problema�c for parents who want their kids to embrace physical ac�vity because of the posi�ve impact that exercise can have on their physical and mental well-being. Parents hoping to ins�ll a love of physical ac�vity in their youngsters may find that taking a more ac�ve role — by exercising with their kids — is an effec�ve way to get them off the couch and away from their computer screens. Turn errands into exercise opportuni�es. Many parents take their children along with them when running errands. When such errands don’t necessarily require the use of a car, consider riding bicycles instead. Kids who otherwise don’t enjoy errands may now find them more fun while mee�ng the guidelines for exercise and spending quality �me with their parents. Include kids in your own athle�c pursuits. Parents might not be able to take younger kids along with
ut them to the gym, but that does not mean your children must be excluded from all of your athle�c pursuits. If you have any upcoming athle�c ac�vi�es or challenges on your schedule, such as a rtss se rt season or a community fu fun new recrea�onal sports run or 5K, let kids tag along as you train or prac�se. Parents of adolescents can inquire at their local gyms regarding discounted memberships for teens. If such offers are in place, take kids with you to the gym so they can learn the value and benefits of daily strength and condi�oning exercises. Make more �me to play. Parents may already have busy schedules, but finding �me to play with their kids is a great way to get youngsters to embrace physical ac�vity. Kids might be reluctant to shoot hoops in the driveway if no one is willing to join them, but they will be far more likely to do so if mom and dad decide to play with them. This is not only a good way for parents to ensure their kids get enough exercise, but also a great and fun way for moms and dads to make �me for their own physical ac�vity.
Parents who exercise with their children may find their youngsters more recep�ve to the daily physical ac�vity they need to promote long-term health.
Recognize that physical ac�vity does not have to mean organized sports. Some kids have no interest in team sports, while others may not have the athle�c ability to compete. Parents who want their kids to exercise more should recognize that there are plenty of ways to be physically ac�ve that do not involve organized team sports. Hiking; riding bicycles; swimming at a nearby pool, lake or ocean; and even going for nightly walks are all physical ac�vi�es that people of all ages and athle�c abili�es can enjoy. Physical ac�vity is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. While ge�ng kids to put down their tablets and gaming system remote controls may not be easy, parents who resolve to exercise with their children might find their youngsters more recep�ve to regular physical ac�vity.

Young newcomers transition to life in Regina By Sherry McCormick For L-P Special Projects The transition to life in Canada can be difficult for any newcomer. Youth, in particular, often struggle with barriers such as language, culture and isolation as they try to connect with others and begin their integration process. The City of Regina, in partnership with the Regina Open Door Society, is introducing a Lifeskills for Newcomer Youth program this summer, which will address common challenges young people face while transitioning into a new environment. Newcomers aged 12 to 17 will have an opportunity to make new friends, improve their English skills, learn about Canadian culture and share their culture with others. “This has come about through a lot of conversations we’ve had with community partners,” said Jeff Erbach, acting manager of Community Development for the City of Regina. “Our aim is to create relevant programs that reflect our population as Regina continues to grow in its diversity. “There are people from many countries and cultures living here. We sighted a lack of support for newcomer youth, so we created the Diversity Programming Committee to implement a cultural plan. We’ve been collaborating with community partners responsible for delivering sport, recreational and cultural programs to Regina’s neighbourhood centres, the Sportsplex and the
Civic Arts Centre,” he said. This is an opportunity for newcomers to become engaged Canadians in a safe environment while gaining valuable leadership, teamwork and social skills. They learn about schools and other community resources, such as police service and libraries. The program also teaches about diet, nutrition and sun safety, and helps youth and their families with some common settlement issues. This summer, the program will run every weekday A City of Regina program will morning from 9:30 to 11:30 help young newcomers meet a.m., July 13 to 24.

Don’t let your children flip flop through summer (NC) — Most kids can’t wait for the weeks of long, hot, carefree days spent in flip flops at camps, cottages and parks. But, while the fresh air and unstructured play can be excellent for a child’s development, foot experts say that weeks of roaming in ill-fitting, unstructured flip flops can lead to foot, ankle and knee injuries. “Basic, flimsy flip flops don’t provide the support that children need when they are running, jumping and playing,” said Anne Putnam, a Canadian certified pedorthist and president of the Pedorthic Association of Canada. “Proper fitting, supportive shoes are essential for the healthy growth and
development of children’s feet, and although shoe rules can slacken a bit in the summer, they shouldn’t be completely forgotten.” During the summer, pedorthists recommend that children wear footwear that balances ease with comfort and support. As children are always on the go, they like shoes they can quickly put on and take off. Parents are advised to look for sandals with Velcro straps, as they are quick and easy to get into, and secure the foot snuggly in the shoe as effectively as laces. For daily play, a pair of lightweight, supportive sandals with a flex-point at the ball of the foot is essential. Most importantly, the sandals should fit perfectly, as shoes that are too big or too small increase the risk of injury. Children
can wear unsupportive flip flops at the beach and by the pool, but flip flops are not appropriate for active play or walking any distance. More information on appropriate footwear for children can be found at www. pedorthic.ca. Here are some tips from Canadian certified pedorthists to help you find appropriate summer footwear for your child: Look for shoes that have sturdy backs and soles that don’t bend easily if you twist them from side to side or from toe to heel. Shoes that don’t bend or twist will provide the support your child needs. Make sure the base of the footwear matches the length and shape of your child’s feet. If his or her feet are too wide or his or her heel or toes hang over the

edge, they are not right. Don’t buy shoes with “room to grow.” Shoes that are too long or too wide may cause or aggravate underlying foot problems. Never pass shoes down from child to child as the wear patterns created by the first child will not properly support the next child’s unique foot shape and needs. If your child insists on flip flops for everyday wear, look for features that provide more support, such as supportive footbeds, adjustable straps, thicker soles and deep heel cups. www.newscanada.com

How to be a good youth sports parent Extracurricular and summer season sports leagues help to keep thousands of children active during vacation. Youth sports promote physical fitness and teamwork while helping children acquaint themselves with sportsmanship and camaraderie. Approximately three out of four North American families with school-aged children have at least one child playing an organized sport. While many kids play just for recreation, others play competitively. Sports are meant to be sources of enjoyment for children, but parental pressure and poor adult behaviour on the sidelines can make kids reluctant to compete. Parents who behave poorly may inadvertently pass bad habits on to their children or cause kids to prematurely abandon their athletic pursuits. The following are a few tips for parents who want to encourage their kids’ passions for sports in positive ways. Show respect for coaches and officials. Parents should not act like they are the final authority on calls or how team members should play. Respect should always be shown to coaches and referees. Let your child have fun regardless of his or her performance. Too often, parents get swept up in how their children are performing when the goal for young athletes should be to enjoy themselves. Resist the urge to focus on performance and focus instead of whether or not your child is having fun. Recognize college scholarships may not be in the cards. Although some children
are destined for athletic greatness, many will not play sports after high school. Pressuring older children to improve their performance in the hopes of landing college scholarships can make the little time they do have to play their favourite sports less enjoyable. Take cues from the child. Children are often great indicators of parental behaviour at sporting events. Parents whose children seem unenthusiastic about mom and dad attending their sporting events may be trying to tell you they don’t appreciate your behaviour at the games. Provide constructive criticism. Early coaching and practise with parents can give kids a leg up on the competition. But keep your advice constructive. Parents who become pushy or force constant practise can make sports unenjoyable. Place emphasis on fun and learning skills. Find out what the kids hope to accomplish by playing sports and help them to achieve those goals. Focus on being supportive rather than emphasizing winning. This can help children view sports participation in a more positive light. If children seem to have lost interest in sports, parents can ask why in an effort to make sports fun again or encourage other pursuits. Many sports now require year-round participation, which can cause burnout in some youngsters. Sometimes, a brief break and some fine-tuning may be all that’s needed to rekindle a child’s passion for sports.

The summer camp advantage Teachers and parents alike know that the time spent between the end of one school year and the start of another can be the difference between success and struggle for kids in the fall. The question becomes how to make these months both playful and productive for kids — to keep their brains and bodies active while letting them have the summer fun we all remember so fondly. Summer camps are one way to achieve this, and multiple studies have shown that children who attend day or sleep-away camps during the summer months show growth in key areas, such as an appreciation for physical activity, self-confidence and emotional intelligence. And, not only do kids seem to grow in these areas, but the growth is retained and built upon throughout the rest of the year. Summer camps offer an environment that introduces children to new people, new
places and new situations, independent of parental oversight. This fosters growth and exploration — both of the world around them and of who they are as individuals. Through hands-on learning, physical activity and time spent outdoors with their peers, kids get the benefit of a learning space free from pressure. In fact, many children who struggle in more traditional environments really benefit from the more open, active learning situation that camp provides. And, it lets children find their own creative solutions to challenges. Summer camp is a great place for kids to really grow and see what they are capable of on their own and when they work in a group. Summer camp is also a place for fun. But, in addition, camp is a place where children get a chance to build their social skills by interacting with an entirely new group of people and build their self-esteem
and emotional intelligence away from their usual guardians. And, camp is a place where learning flows freely, and children can take risks and tackle problems without a fear of failure. One of the secrets of the success of summer camp is that it disguises exercise, learning and skill building as play. There are even camps that promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills, such as the Summer Day Camps offered by the Saskatchewan Science Centre, that show kids the excitement, fun and possibilities of these fields, which can often be difficult to engage kids in. The things that kids learn at camp aren’t just temporary, either. Self-confidence is one thing that grows and changes as we grow and change as individuals, and the confidence gained at camp can see a child going forward into the new school year
with the ability to take on more — both socially and academically — and know that they are capable of succeeding. This kind of confidence creates independent kids who know that they have value, and also know that they can fail, learn from it, and succeed next time. Fun and play are the best things that summer camps have going for them in the eyes of kids. And, for adults, sending a child to camp is giving them the opportunity to succeed in a new way — to grow, learn and develop as their own individual while preparing them, not only for the upcoming school year, but for their future as healthy adults.

Effortless style suits natural beauty By Jenn Sharp For Ainda Tsintziras, style is effortless. When she was younger, her closet was full of alternative, funky pieces to match her bleached blonde hair and penchant for purple lipstick. Today, the 29-year-old gravitates towards a more comfortable and relaxed look with clean lines. She’s most often wearing solid or dark colours and highwaisted jeans, which she feels suit her body the best. She’s also learned that a good tailor makes all the difference. “I started doing a lot of vintage shopping and was getting the clothes tailored to my body,” she says of her move away from alternative fashion. She likes to shop the sales rack too; usually the pieces on sale are a larger size so she has a crafty friend tailor everything for her body: “Then it fits me like a glove.” While she still loves to shop the vintage racks, she’s been drawn to H & M more of late. “I really like shopping at the holy trinity: Forever 21, H & M and Urban Outfitters,” she laughs, adding she’ll have to change it up in her 30s. For now, these stores offer the clothes she likes at the right price. “I like clean cut clothing that’s figure flattering and (appropriate for) every day.” Her ‘every day’ is a mixed bag; she’s a fourth year social work student at the University of Saskatchewan and works at three restaurants in Saskatoon’s Riversdale neighbourhood. She walks everywhere and needs a style that fits her busy lifestyle. Her favourite outfits for serving are a highwaisted skirt with a tight tee-shirt or black jeans with Vans sneakers to keep her feet happy during long shifts. You won’t find her wearing blinged-out earrings (she doesn’t like accessories), lots of eye makeup or a short dress; it’s just not her style. This beauty of Greek and German heritage prefers a more natural look. “I’m not somebody that really dresses up,” says Tsintziras, adding she does love to wear a good pair of black heels from time to time. When she’s not at school or work, she enjoys grabbing coffee with a friend. Cafes are also great places to people watch; Tsintziras is always pleasantly surprised by Saskatonian’s affinity for fashion. “I like how everyone has their own unique style. There’s lots of stuff that I could never feel comfortable wearing — I see other people wearing it (and) it puts a nice smile on my face.” jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

Those with a passion for fashion were in their element in Regina during Saskatchewan Fashion Week, which featured runway shows May 7 to 9. Women’s intimate apparel collections were showcased on the runway for the first time. The workmanship and creativity of Regina’s Christina McFaddin’s Year of the RAM designs were so impressive, she was awarded the Fashion Forward Designer Award, presented by Dr. Roberta McKay and Elmer Brenner. The event featured a diversity of designs and designers. For the first time, graduation collections from four students from the Chip and Shannon Wilson School of Design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Richmond, B.C., were showcased. Emerging and established designers offered an impressive array of jewelry, accessories, menswear and womenswear. And local independent retailers offered a glimpse at styles trending for spring and summer.

EVERY DAY IN THE
LA VIEILLE FERME
If you want a veratile red, ask for the chicken wine By James Romanow I’ve watched the news with some bemusement for the last year. People suddenly want to return to the days of backyard chickens. I actually am an expert on this topic. My grandmother kept chickens in a coop at the end of the yard until the city made it illegal. She let them scratch for slugs and bugs in her garden. Then when we came for dinner, she would apply the axe and I would watch with fascination as the chickens would run around headless. I doubt most neighbours would wish to watch this demonstration of the food chain today. I too prefer to be a fantasy farmer, although I still have some affection for VERY fresh roast chicken. Most people drinking wine with such a meal would go with a white wine, or possibly a pinot noir, but I rather like the fresh bright flavours of young reds from the south of France. Meet the chicken wine, La Vieille Ferme (pr. Vee-AY-ferm) which translates as ‘the old farm.’ Very few liquor store clerks will understand your Grade 10 accent and most of them haven’t a clue how to say it anyway. But tell ‘em you want “the chicken wine” and they’ll get you to the right aisle in a heartbeat. It’s a blend of Rhone grapes, mostly Grenache noir and mourvèdre, but the blend changes from vintage to vintage to keep the price affordable and the wine drinkable. Buy a bottle
