I can’t sing, I can’t dance, but I sure can feel connections to the past and forward into the future. — Leslee Newman

LESLEE NEWMAN

A passion for making history come alive

Leslee Newman’s career spanned 40 years at the Western Development Museum, including the role of director of education. Now retired, Newman still volunteers at the museum. QC PHOTO BY LIAM RICHARDS

By Sean Trembath Leslee Newman feels the history in everything around her. In fact, she surrounds herself with it. Even the day-to-day items in her home are imbued with the past. She points out the wooden high chair nestled at her kitchen table.

“The high chair my grandkids are sitting in is the chair my kids sat in, is the chair I sat in. It’s a good thing that back then they made things to last,” Newman says. She’s dedicated her life to history, and to teaching others the things that define our province. Over a 40-year career with the Western Development Museum (WDM), Newman developed

programs, publications and teaching materials to assist those looking to understand what came before. Now retired, Newman has been officially recognized by her colleagues through a nomination for the YWCA’s Women of Distinction. She is a bit sheepish about it, insisting the work she did was not spectacular or awardworthy.

Her nominators disagree. “She’s one of those people who has worked very hard for many years, and really doesn’t look to be acknowledged, but deserves the acknowledgment,” Wendy Fitch, executive director of the Museums Association of Saskatchewan, says. “She’s not looking for a pat on the back, and those are the people I think

often need to be.” Newman has always felt a deep connection with the past. “I think people with backgrounds in history are born with intuitive knowledge of connection. I was born like that. I can’t sing, I can’t dance, but I sure can feel connections to the past and forward into the future. That was my calling,” she says.

She credits her father with some of it. A veteran of the navy, he settled the family in the Montgomery neighbourhood of Saskatoon alongside many others who had served in the military. She grew up in a house where you kept things around, and make sure they stayed in good shape. “It was just part of my growing up that you would have a ball of string in the drawer, and save your twist ties, and darn your socks. I still darn. My kids still bring stuff to me to darn,” she says. She went from Montgomery School to Bedford Road to the University of Saskatchewan, where she earned a degree in anthropology. Upon graduating, she knew the WDM was where she wanted to be. The Saskatoon location had recently moved to the space it still occupies. Newman describes walking in with her “shiny new degree” and telling them she could be useful. They hired her and she spent the rest of her career with the organization. She started working on exhibits, but a love of writing soon took her into a communications and programming role. It was here she helped develop many initiatives, some of which still exist. Although she was based in Saskatoon, Newman’s position was provincewide. She travelled often to Moose Jaw, North Battleford and Yorkton, helping their local WDMs develop programs.

I think by and large we have a sense of ourselves as different. We might not be so strong on who we are, but we’re pretty sure of who we’re not. We’re not Albertans, we’re not Manitobans, we’re definitely not east or west coasters. — Newman

She cites the wheelwright program, started in the ’70s, that taught people from all over Canada and the United States the old way of making wheels. The blacksmithing program started in the ’80s is still popular. More recently, she developed programs and teaching materials for the Winning the Prairie Gamble exhibits, which coincided with Saskatchewan’s 100th anniversary and exist in all of the WDM’s properties. That program in particular showed Newman’s dedication to spreading knowledge, according to Fitch. Newman helped develop a teacher’s resource, with 100 lesson plans on historical topics including agriculture, First Nations history and immigration. The materials were provided to schools provincewide, but Newman wanted other museums outside the WDM family to benefit as well. According to Fitch, Newman made sure to raise enough sponsorship that every small, community museum in the province got a copy. “That was tremendously generous, and I know it was right from Leslee, that she made sure that happened,” Fitch says. This willingness to help other organizations was seen throughout Newman’s career, Fitch says. The two worked together on the museums association board. “She was always very, very willing to share her expertise,” Fitch says. “To have someone with the larger provincial museum help with smaller ones is very valuable.” Newman takes the promotion of history very seriously. She sees it as an asset not only for the people learning, but the province they live in. “I think we’re stronger citizens if we develop a sense of place, and you develop that sense in the present, but also by knowing the foundation of the province,” she says. Defining that foundation was part of the challenge of her work. She says there were always discussions about the province’s identity. “You want to make sure the Saskatchewan you’ve represented in your exhibits is the place,” she says. She admits there isn’t a definitive answer. “I think by and large we have a

sense of ourselves as different. We might not be so strong on who we are, but we’re pretty sure of who we’re not. We’re not Albertans, we’re not Manitobans, we’re definitely not east or west coasters,” Newman says. She talks about a sense of caring for each other, and references medicare as an example. “Those kind of initiatives that grow from the fertile soil here mark us,” she says. The museum’s focus, or at least parts of it, shifted through the years. The WDM has always been strong in the area of Saskatchewan’s early set-

tlers. With later exhibits, such as the Prairie Gamble, they worked to fill in the space between then and now. They also worked to incorporate more First Nations history into their programming, especially for schoolchildren. “We felt more and more children of that ancestry were coming into classrooms and not seeing that history represented,” Newman says. More recently, immigration has been front of mind. As more and more newcomers stream into the province, they naturally become part of its identity and should be repre-

sented. “We want people to see their lives reflected,” she says. She still sees gaps in the programming. In particular the north, with its history of fishing, trapping and mining, is under-represented. It’s something she says has been talked about, and will hopefully see more attention as the WDM continues to grow. Catering to Saskatchewanians is extremely important to Newman. “We hear from all sorts of international travellers that it’s a wonderful museum. But more importantly, we hear from local people that it’s a re-

ally fine addition to the community,” she says. Newman’s body of work is not limited to the WDM. She also spent many hours volunteering for her church, her children’s’ schools and other community organizations. A recent undertaking she is particularly proud of is the annual Remembrance Day ceremony held in the Montgomery neighbourhood, which she co-ordinates along with another resident, Jim Earle. Montgomery was built largely by veterans and their families, making it the perfect venue for such an event.

The blacksmith demonstration at the Western Development Museum was one of the projects Leslee Newman developed. QC FILE PHOTO BY LIAM RICHARDS

She has published two history books, one on the Trinity United Church (now known as St. David’s), and one on the first 100 years of Saskatchewan’s history. She is currently researching a history of the WDM. “She’s just always thinking about ways to educate and inform people about Saskatchewan history,” Corinne Daelick, who helped get Newman nominated for the Women of Distinction award, says. Daelick worked for years with Newman at the WDM and has now stepped into her old role as director of education. When informed about the nomination, Daelick said Newman was predictably humble. “When we said we were nominating her, she said she didn’t figure she had done anything. I just said you have no choice, we’re nominating you, and I just listed off the things she did,” Daelick says.

“She has done so much that she deserves to be recognized.” Wendy Fitch focuses on Newman’s dedication to passing knowledge forward when asked about the nomination. “She sees the importance of the living heritage. We’re here as stewards, those of us who work in museums. We’re taking what we’ve received from those who lived in the past, and our responsibility is to share it with people now and be sure it’s there to be shared with people in the future,” she says. Newman still volunteers at the museum, helping the next generation continue the work she did for so many years. She feels the institution is in good hands. “I’m confident that the WDM, whichever directions it grows in, will be fine. The people that work there just have a huge heart for the museum.”

WOMEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HEALTHY BRAS

2 year warranty s on hardy trreeeees bs and shru

Have you gone on a bra shopping trip, only to be frustrated, walking away empty handed? Jeunique International, founded in 1959, manufactures health bras based on the engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge (balanced load suspension). Shirley McInnes (International Executive Director), a Certified Bra Fitter, is coming to Saskatoon for a 2 day Bra Clinic. Bras on the market with frills and lace may look nice, but they are not doing their job. (85% OF WOMEN ARE WEARING THE WRONG BRA!) A women needs support from beneath the breast tissue. The Tab and the Jeunique/Leunique Bras both fit small to full figure, sports, maternity and mastectomy - 200 sizes and 3 styles to choose from 30A - 46KK; no bounce, no wires to gouge or bruises or impeded lymphatic drainage and circulation. Does not ride up in the back or fall off the shoulders and promotes better posture. Switching to a custom fitted bra is like giving up a floppy pair of slippers for an orthotic shoe. Once women adjust to the uplift and snugness (a couple of weeks) you become a life-long client. Doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors often refer their patients to us.

REGINA FOOD TRENDS

Regina’s best spots for out of the ordinary pizza By Jenn Sharp It’s pretty hard to mess up pizza. It’s just bread, meat and cheese right? Regina has a ton of places serving pizza but there’s a few making pizza better than anything you’ve had before. As of late, pizza is more popular than ever. There are lots of options for pizza with a more artisanal quality than what you’ll find in the take-out joints. To help you sort through it all, I ate a lot of pizza. A ton of pizza, actually (it’s a tough gig, I know). Not everyone gets a mention here, likely because I’ve written about them before. Keep in mind that if you’ve got a hankering for wood-fired, it’s best consumed on the spot. If you take it home and let it get soggy and cold, it won’t taste good. Then you’ll tell all your friends what a rip-off that $20 pizza was, when really, you should have just ate it sooner. Here’s a look at Regina’s top pizza spots. What’s your favourite place for pizza in Regina? I’d love to hear about it.

DA PIZZA ‘N’ CURRY EXPRESS 221 Victoria Ave. The Indian food here is some of the best in the city, and the pizza is pretty fine, too. They make a range of traditional pizzas and a few, like the paneer or Punjabi pies, with Indianstyle toppings. I tried a butter chicken pizza. It’s butter chicken curry and it’s on a pizza, baked with cheese. Do I need to say more? Just go try it!

ARTFUL DODGER CAFÉ & MUSIC EMPORIUM 1631 11th Ave.

BUSHWAKKER BREWPUB 2206 Dewdney Ave. The brew pub is known for more than just beer. Bushwakker’s food menu is a crowd-pleasing list of pub standbys and twists on the classics. Everything is made from scratch and ingredients are sourced in Saskatchewan whenever possible. The pulled pork and apple pizza is even better than a classic pulled pork sandwich. The handmade herbed crust is topped with chipotle BBQ sauce, pulled pork, red onion and apple slices. The pie was on Pizza Wars and while it didn’t win, it’s still awesome.

The first thing you smell when you walk into this funky spot at the edge of the downtown core is a faint waft of burning wood from the oven. The place serves traditional wood-fired pizza; the crust is light and full of little air pockets, and doesn’t leave an oil slick on your hands. Try the vegetarian avocado pizza. Like all good woodfired pizza, the crust is the star. It’s light on the toppings (roasted peppers, goat feta, mozza, olives and spinach) and high on flavour.

WINE WORLD #

Use Passion Pop to unleash your inner mixologist By James Romanow One of the more interesting phenomena in the world of booze is the arrival of the female consumer. They have completely changed the industry, and from what I see, their impact is just starting to be felt. It turns out girls just wanna have fun. They are attracted to celebratory and pretty beverages like champagne and rosé wine. At least one vintner has worked this out and has a hit here with Passion Pop. The packaging is pretty, the name mildly suggestive and the drink sweet … what could go wrong? Not much from my perspective. It’s a nice mix of strawberry juice and wine, which is a classic blend. What’s more, the alcohol levels are low enough (9.5 per cent) to be let loose on 20-somethings with a BMI of 22 and weighing about 50 kilograms. The palate is a bit one dimensional, but that’s easily remedied. I may be loath to cut my ’95 Dom Pérignon with Campari and the juice of a blood orange, but I have no such compunction with Passion Pop. This stuff is a gift from the gods to mixologists. It needs a hit of bitters. You can solve this any way you like from easy to complex. Start with a shot of grapefruit juice (easy) and then maybe a half shot of tequila or rye. I could spend a weekend with a case of the stuff creat-

ing cocktails. To their credit, young women don’t seem particularly bound by convention so here is my contribution to the social milieu. Go forth girl and apply bitters! Try a slice of lime or grapefruit section and see what pleasure follows. Passion Pop $10 **** Serious Argentina red in Monday’s LeaderPost and something interesting in QC; more on Twitter @drbooze.

ASK ELLIE

Criticism, pressure won’t strengthen a relationship Q. My fiancé is more casual than I am about work and life. I’m on a career path and work long hours. He leaves the office at 5 p.m. We’ve been together since the last year of high school. I tutored him to get enough marks to get into college. When he stopped school with just one degree, I insisted he work two jobs then so I could get my post-grad degree. Now I want to buy a house and start a family but he’s unwilling to work harder. I’m losing feelings for him, because he’s just not pulling his weight. How can I convince him? Ambitious A. You can’t change his basic life perspective through criticism and pressure, for not thinking and acting exactly like you. He’s already worked two jobs to support your ambitions. If his “casual” style provides balance to your constant drive, it can be healthy for both of you. You’ll have a better chance at staying together long-term if you can accept the benefits of his more relaxed approach, and discuss future plans without making demands. Q. My husband had a great job but he pulled a stunt at work that gave him a bad reputation in his industry. (Not illegal, but not totally ethical either.) He hasn’t worked in three years. We had good savings so we were fine until a few months ago. My parents are affluent and gave me a stipend to boost my earnings, so I wouldn’t be worried. But I am. Stressed A. His public embarrassment — albeit his own fault — makes it hard to recover his confidence and zest for work. Play to your husband’s strengths. Without re-entering his exact field, consider some joint projects you and he could do together as a small business start-up. Or, if he’s better on his own, encourage him to talk about his ideas and things he’d like to try. Since you’re not in dire financial straits, don’t make this about pushing him to earn immediately, but about using his abilities in a way that gets him engaged. It may take a few false starts, or he may feel anxious about being in the public eye again, but just keep encouraging him. Q. My wife’s talking about separating and says the problem is my pot habit, which

Ask Ellie she’s known about since we first dated. She earns well, my business is still growing, but we’re getting by. She keeps blaming pot for my business not doing better, and says it makes me moody. I feel much more moody and negative when I’m not smoking! She admits that she still loves me. And I love her. How can we get past this bad patch and just be happy together? Blaming Pot A. The love you share is why you’re still together. But dependence on pot-smoking is the “elephant in the room” because you disagree about it’s impact. It could divide you further. Your need for pot to control your moods, is what she sees as the dominant factor controlling your efforts and behaviour. Maybe it doesn’t affect your business, maybe it does. But she firmly believes pot has come between you. It’s become a dealbreaker for her. I urge you to talk to an addiction counselor and be open about the frequency of your habit and how it affects you. Then both of you should get counselling to deal with that information. Q. My colleague and I worked closely on projects. When my husband left me, he helped me personally, too. We ended up having a two-year affair. Then his wife passed away. We both felt guilty, distanced, but never discussed a breakup. We still talked at work. After six months he started dating others… I was devastated. Now he’s come back to me. I still love him, but wonder if we’ve lost what we once had. Hurt and Angry A. All the circumstances are different. Now, you’re both unattached, but he’s a still-recent widower with changes in his life, such as the impact on his other family members (kids, in-laws, etc.). You could try to start a new relationship based on present reality. Unless, in the past, it was the “affair” that held the excitement and attraction for you both. You’ll know soon enough if that’s what was essential, and is now gone, or you’re together in a new and different way.

Home designers at home in new office By Ashley Martin WHO? John Robinson, partner and principal designer of Robinson Residential. WHAT/WHERE? The office space of the home design firm, located in central Regina. WHEN? John and Janet Robinson founded the company in 1996. The firm spent 11 years operating from the Canadiana, an apartment building downtown, before moving to the new office space in December 2013. WHY? “They kept finding us more suites in the building to take over, but it was not handy. And then parking was always a concern,” said John Robinson. “We wanted to get a studio atmosphere where we could all work together and shout out suggestions to each other.” HOW? The space flows right from the front entrance, which is decorated in circles and horizontal lines. “This whole reception area is kind of based on the horizontal lines that are common to the prairie style” of Frank Lloyd Wright, said Robinson. The iconic architect’s influence “plays a big part in what we do here because his designs are really timeless and some of his principles, he was the one who came up with the whole open-plan thing.” The busy office — which sees 16 employees, clients and students (the company offers classes in blueprint reading on a regular basis) — has “traffic going all directions, so we decided to tie it together with a circle,” said Robinson. “It’s all designed around openness and light. It’s kind of the same way people live, open plans and lots of light,” he added. Frosted glass walls to the meeting rooms off the entrance keep things inviting.

SPACES The walls are a neutral light grey, with splashes of charcoal and the company’s signature grass-green. Then there’s the artwork. Robinson commissioned Regina painter Jason Robins to create about a dozen pieces that line the work space, featuring cement mixers, hammers and tools of the trade. “(Robins is) so fresh and spontaneous. He’s just totally in love with what he does,” said Robinson, who liked “supporting a young person that has such incredible drive.” Stone paintings of the company’s stock plans are perched on top of a bookshelf filled with design books. Stained glass has its place: Robinson’s brother Frank made the large amber and green prairie-style window behind the reception desk. “It’s just a great way to bring in light. Now there’s such incredible glass; you can get textures, not just colours,” said Robinson. Vintage ads for Aladdin Homes reflect history (Robinson grew up in one of the pre-fab, mail-order homes) and passion (he collects antique house books; his oldest dates to 1889). “Mostly just to see how people used to live, but also as an inspiration how even on a modest house, design esthetics were still important.” One Aladdin house was small at 18 feet squared, but even with an outhouse in the back yard it was a design “to be proud of.” Small isn’t a bad thing. Robinson thinks the current trend in tiny houses is “really cool,” and his company is about to unveil its first design for one. “People are in love with them.” Robinson, who has known since childhood he wanted to design homes, relishes in creativity, though there’s not always time for it. For the past three years during the housing boom, it was always a matter of meeting the next deadline. A slowdown means more time for brainstorming and innovating. “Whenever it gets slow, that’s when you get creative. When it’s busy you don’t have time to think of those things.” amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM
