More than 30 years ago, Chris Lindgren attended an event that in-spired her lifetime career.

In 1980, while taking a year off from her education degree studies at the University of Saskatchewan, she went to Toronto to study fine arts and classical guitar. While there, she went to the Toronto Festival of Storytelling and heard storytellers from across the country. She was particularly impressed by one man who was playing the harp while also telling stories.

“This combination was the most powerful experience I’d ever encoun-tered in any performance, whether art, theatre or music. There’s some-thing special that happens when you experience live music played from the heart along with stories told from the heart,” she says.

Shortly after this performance, Lindgren decided she would finish her degree at the U of S and pursue her new-found love of storytelling. Back in Saskatoon, she discovered there wasn’t a group for storytell-ers in the city. She began inviting friends to her home for dessert and informal storytelling gatherings. Soon, the Saskatoon Storytellers Guild was formed. Today the Guild has a membership of about 45 that meets monthly, held together by a common love of storytelling.

She also began learning how to play the harp, drawn to its expres-sive ability. Similar to the classical guitar, the harp allowed her to be more creative.

“What I liked about the harp, how-ever, was if you wanted to improvise or make up your own music, the low notes are at one end of the instru-ment, the high notes at the other. It’s laid out like a piano, so it’s very logi-cal and you can play it by ear fairly simply.”

By 1983, Lindgren was doing two different lines of work almost si-multaneously. She was performing publicly as a storyteller and often brought her harp along as well.

“I could set the mood wonderfully (with the harp). And people started asking for more and more harp.”

Initially much of her repertoire was folk music because it was such a good fit with storytelling. She be-gan to play for audiences of all ages across Canada at festivals and con-certs in Toronto, Winnipeg and Ed-monton. Closer to home, she’s been a mainstay at the Regina Folk Festi-val, Regina International Children’s

Festival and the PotashCorp Chil-dren’s Festival of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

She’s broadened her musical rep-ertoire considerably. She now plays international folk music, classi-cal pieces, Celtic tunes and a broad range of medieval and Renaissance melodies. Along with writing her own music from time to time, she plays contemporary music written by fellow harpists.

She’s sharing her love for the harp with others, too. She teaches regular lessons on the instrument. She continues to perform locally in Saskatoon and Regina for a variety of functions, from gallery openings to weddings. She often performs in senior citizen residences as well.

“For those who have few chances of getting out, what better place to share my music than where I bring joy to others.”

Lindgren released her CD Harp for Dessert in 2005. She’s consider-ing producing another album with her musically-gifted family. Walter, her husband, plays classical guitar, and their two children, Carl and Glenda, both play the oboe.

For now, she’ll continue to do what she does best: performing for live au-diences.

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

Who is harder to raise — boys or girls?

next week: Did you take a 'babymoon' before giving birth to your first child?

Email [email protected]

“Boys. I have both and they seem to be more stubborn.” — via Twitter @freestylin13

“I think it really depends on the kid and their personality. My daughter and I have similar personalities and therefore find it easy to relate while my son and husband share more of the same interests. We are pretty sure both kids will test us equally in different ways.” — Nikki Melnyk

“Girls. Without a doubt. Much harder.” — John Grainger

“As a kindergarten teacher I find boys much harder; they yell, kick, scream, throw things, punch and the girls don’t do any of that. The complications with girls are a lot more subtle involving friend-ships they may have, but girls listen when you ask them to do things. Boys are much more obsti-nate and testy with authority ... there are many fun child things, but I don’t find throwing things, kicking, punching and harming other students to be fun child stuff. Of course this is just classroom experience and I’m only drawing on a pool of seven (four girls and three boys), but from this experience it is very evident that boys are more difficult.” — Michelle Kaufmann

“Girls. I’m a mother of three boys and let me tell you I’m thankful I have three boys than three girls any day! Boys do all of that fun child stuff in front of you. Girls just do it behind your back. Pick the best of the two evils.” — Adele Bandet

“I’m from a family of five girls and have two girls of my own so don’t have much of a reference point for raising boys. I think either presents their own unique challenges.” — Terri Leniuk

“As the mother of four boys and one girl, I would have to say that it really depends on the child, not the gender. Personality wise, the girl definitely has a different attitude then the boys! I also enjoy that she likes to hang out with me and ‘be’ like me, not something the boys ever did.” — Carla Contreras

“For me, it is definitely a girl! I have a seven-year-old girl and a four-year-old boy. Both of them as babies were pretty good but my son Jovi was defi-nitely more laid-back and rarely cried. I am now noticing a not-so-pleasant attitude coming out of my daughter Macy and she really likes to chal-lenge me with almost everything. My son basically listens to everything I ask him to do and barely does the opposite. Who knows … I might change my mind in a few more years to come.” |— Chera Miller

“My kids are still pretty little (two and four years), but so far my daughter has been easier. She spoke earlier, so I knew what she wanted and needed, and she listened to instruction better. My son, will look at me when he is doing something he isn’t supposed to, then just try to do whatever he is doing faster, before I can get to him!” — Janelle Hordos

“I think boys are harder when they’re younger because they’re so wild and rambunctious. That being said, I think girls are the hardest once they hit their teen years.” — Michelle Grodecki

“Girls. I am a parent and social worker with years of working with youth.” — Treena Wynes

The fact he hasn’t been to his favou-rite place in years doesn’t matter to Regina musician Danny Jones. The 26-year-old bass player’s favourite place is the basement of a house pre-viously owned by the parents of his school chum.

When Jones was in high school, the decor of his friend’s basement wasn’t important, but the welcoming space and time with his friends helped him learn important life lessons that help him today. The house has new owners but the memories remain.

Q: How did you discover this place?A: It started with an invitation to come over and play some tunes. And it just went from there.

Q: Who invited you?A: His name is Erik Mehlsen. He’s a guitar player. I still play music with him today.

Q: Did you learn to play music there?A: Erik knew a lot more than me so I was really lucky he invited me to jam with him.

That is where I cut my teeth. That is where I tried to figure out what I was doing … It helped that Erik’s brother played the drums. He’s a chi-ropractor today.

Q: What was the basement like?A: The space was really whatever room we were in that occupied the basement. There was a rec room and bedrooms.

So wherever the drum kit was set up, that is where we’d be. It was a ’90s-esque basement.

Q: How often did you visit?A: I went twice weekly pretty much. It was fun.

Q: Did this space help you personally or musically?A: Both. As far as high school goes, I never saw myself as belonging to one particular group.

I always saw myself as one of those inbetweeners. We hung out after school at his basement a lot, which I think helped me develop as a person.

Q: How did you benefit personally?A: I was always shy and soft-spoken. I didn’t really have a creative outlet up until that point. And finding a way to be creative really helped me develop into the person I am today. I am not sure what would have hap-pened to me had I not found that out-let. I probably would not be enjoying life as much.

Q: Was there anything specific that helped you?A: It was really just hanging out there that helped me develop so-cially.

I was tense and nervous. And they really helped me not be those things.

Q: So you chalk up your time in this basement to the confidence you enjoy as an adult?A: Today, I am very happy with the way I interact with people.

Being a part of that when I was

younger forced me to be social. There was no way you couldn’t be.

It forced me to work on that stuff. Not actively, but just being a part of social interaction is what helped.

Q: Did your new confidence translate into your music?A: That confidence has helped me in my playing. But I never thought about this stuff when I was a kid. I look at it as being self-absorbed, but not just for the sake of being self-absorbed. It’s more about self-confi-dence.

Q: Did Erik’s parents welcome the noise made by teen musicians?A: They were a pretty artistic family. They were always down with music. And all the siblings have played music and were all really artistic.

Q: Did you imagine playing music as an adult when you were in high school?A: The whole playing music thing was really serendipitous. When I started at 16, I never thought I’d wind up doing it for a living.

When Danny Jones was a teenager, he jammed in the basement of this Regina home, where his friend Erik Mehlsen lived. qc phoTo by bryaN schlosser

on the cover ’I always tell my kids, it’s not how long you live, it’s what you do with your life.

— Brian Henderson

By Jenn Sharp

Brian Henderson is living longer be-cause he fell from a grain truck and broke his neck.

X-rays and CT scans this winter showed the 56-year-old’s bones were damaged much more than they should have been. An MRI on his spine and further scans revealed he had cancer. It had started in his pros-tate and spread. Doctors also found a tumour in Brian’s neck, which had been pressing on his spine and caus-ing him to lose feeling in his arm.

He had cancer for years without knowing it. His family suspected

something abnormal because Brian, who drives semis during the week and limos on the weekend in Regina, had been suffering from severe pain in his shoulder for several years.

“The pain got so bad he couldn’t sleep at night,” said his 29-year-old daughter, Elissa Dwyer.

He underwent radiation and che-motherapy, and has regained some of the feeling in his arm. A halo aligns his head and neck.

After three weeks in hospital, Brian returned home with his wife Christine. Friends and family had transformed the house, building wheelchair ramps and converting

the main floor living room into a bed-room. “Radiation takes a lot out of you,” Brian said. “The hardest part was getting used to the halo and not being able to move around a lot.”

When Elissa gets married in Janu-ary, she’d like her guests to consider the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wed-ding Celebration Program instead of giving wedding presents. Elissa made a webpage on the site for people to do-nate and learn more about her dad. She also wants people to know about the support her family received from the cancer ward staff at Regina’s Pasqua Hospital.

“Sometimes when you donate, you

don’t know where it goes or how it af-fects people. I’ve seen it first-hand. I don’t need anything, I’m not getting married for wedding gifts,” she said.

Her dad’s new life is one of daily struggles with everyday tasks. He needs assistance around the clock. He can no longer drive or bathe himself. He can’t hug people and cannot hold his eight-month-old grandson Riley. He’s receiving radiation for the tu-mour in his neck, along with hormone injections and ones to strengthen his bones. His outlook on life is realistic.

“I always tell my kids, it’s not how long you live, it’s what you do with your life. I’m not overly worried at

the moment. They didn’t tell me what my prognosis was. I know it’s stage four and it’s serious. I know I’m in palliative care. They can slow it down but they can’t stop it.”

The family’s out-of-pocket medical expenses have been enormous. Elis-sa and her sister are hosting steak nights to help with the costs. Despite the outcome of her dad’s fall, she’s grateful it happened.

“In a sense, it was a blessing in disguise because we didn’t know the cancer existed before then. It was un-fortunate but within three days he had a diagnosis.”

We want to give people who are struggling through cancer a voice. They’re not forgotten. – Cory King’

■ ■ ■ ■

Cory King’s smile is contagious. But it hides a world of pain.

Our photo of him dancing with Amy Backstrom at the Pink Wig Foun-dation Gala in Saskatoon in April was the most popular picture we’ve ever posted online. The look of pure joy on his face drew people in. They wanted to know more about him.

Cory was backpacking in South-east Asia in 2010 when he got hurt and had to come home. He met Tracy Dinh shortly after. The two fell in love and moved in together a few months later.

In November 2011, Tracy was diag-nosed with stage four small-cell cervi-cal cancer, a rare and aggressive form. It had already spread throughout her body. She was 25. She had been seek-ing medical advice for a year prior, but her concerns were frequently pushed aside by her doctor.

“He kept saying ‘you’re fine, you’re fine.’ And that’s what you want to hear from the doctor. Even though you know something’s going on, that’s what you want to hear,” Cory said. “She knew she had cancer. She told me that before she was ever diagnosed. There were some telltale signs.”

After four intense months of che-motherapy and radiation, Tracy was told it was not working. She had six months to live.

“We didn’t want to believe that, nec-essarily. We wanted to be able to seek some alternative treatment, but we needed money to be able to do that,” said Cory.

Her family and friends sprang to action and organized a birthday fund-raiser on March 16, 2012. They raised $20,000 in one night and launched the Pink Wig Foundation. It was named for Tracy’s wig and her love of the colour.

The money allowed her to seek treatment options at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., but there wasn’t much they could do. She thought about alternative treatments overseas but decided against them.

“There was nothing we could re-ally do,” said Cory. “These people are offering ‘we can cure cancer,’ but it’s not necessarily true and a lot of peo-ple get duped.” Cory King dances with the Pink Wig Foundation’s first recipient of $10,000, Amy Backstrom, at the Pink Wig Foundation Gala in Saskatoon, a fundraiser and birthday cele-

bration in honour of Tracy Dinh on March 23. qc phoTo by Michelle bergContinued on Page 12

I would have never been able to live if I had to pay for everything. It means that my family and I were able to live our life the way it was before. It was like nothing happened. — Amy Backstrom’

Instead, Tracy fulfilled a longtime bucket-list wish and went to Hawaii with Cory (who had quit his job to spend time with her) for four weeks. Her mom, sisters and nephew were able to join them as well.

“It was amazing what that did for her and for me and for the family. She was so grateful, so thankful for that,” he said.

Before the trip, Tracy was sick, vomiting every day and unable to leave her bed. A few days after arriving in Maui, her health im-proved considerably. Cory is thank-ful for the memory of long walks and watching her enjoy the taste of fresh food.

“Fortunately we got that time,” he said. “It changed everything. It gave her some hope. It gave her a chance to be happy one more time.”

Tracy died a few weeks after re-turning home, on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2012, with her mother and father by her side.

Her final wish was that the Pink Wig Foundation continue. She want-ed to help others battling cancer.

The foundation’s goal is to raise awareness for small cell cervical cancer and to help young women bat-tling cancer. In the past year, they’ve held several events and raised close to $20,000. The first Pink Wig Gala was held March 23, 2013, on what would have been Tracy’s 27th birth-day. Another $10,000 was raised that night.

At the gala, 29-year-old Amy Back-strom received $10,000 as the first Pink Wig recipient. She had cervical cancer as well, although not as ad-vanced as Tracy’s. After chemother-apy, her tumour shrunk enough for her cervix to be removed, a surgery done in Toronto. While the surgery cost was covered, fighting cancer is still expensive. Things like medica-tions and parking costs during che-motherapy treatments add up. The money from Pink Wig has meant the world to Backstrom.

“I would have never been able to live if I had to pay for everything. It means that my family and I were able to live our life the way it was before. It was like nothing happened. Financial aid is a significant thing that someone needs when you have cancer.”

Cory knows firsthand the differ-ence financial aid can make. For that reason he wants Pink Wig to grow.

“We want people to know they can apply for help,” he said. “We want to give people who are struggling through cancer a voice. They’re not forgotten. There are other people that have gone through it, too.”

When Cory makes a peace sign, you can see a tattoo on the inside

of each finger reading “one love.” He and Tracy had matching tattoos done in Hawaii. It hurt, but Tracy just laughed and told Cory it was nothing compared to chemo and ra-diation. As he says, when you have cancer, you have no choice but to be brave.

Running 12 half-marathons in 12 months is Janaya Stevenson’s way of fighting cancer.

It’s a very close enemy. Her great-grandmother, her grandmother and her aunt all had breast cancer. Her aunt, Jean McCullough, a wife and mother of two, died from the dis-ease at 40. Now Janaya’s mother and a surviving aunt are part of a long-term preventative study because breast cancer has been so prevalent in the family.

Janaya’s best friend and maid of honour, Heather Stearn, battled a brain tumour for five years. In 2011, Janaya decided to run a half-mar-athon each month of 2012. The “12 in 2012” was a way to raise money for cancer research through the Ca-nadian Cancer Society’s Fundraise for Life program. She started a blog (www.babysteps-amomontherun.blogspot.ca) documenting the jour-ney.

A few days before the first race,

on Jan. 8, 2012, Heather died. Janaya ran the race and every one after in honour of her lost friend, wearing a gold pendant with the letter “H,” a gift she gave her maid of honour at her wedding. She raised $15,000 last year.

“You don’t have to run 12 half marathons to be effective,” she said. “Even if it’s a bake sale or a steak night or a head shave. The options are endless and the Fundraise for Life program makes it easy.”

Janaya’s face lights up when she talks about her best friend. She re-members bonding in university and how Heather’s family welcomed her like a daughter.

“She was awesome. She was vi-brant in the biggest sense of the word. She was excitable and hap-py.”

Heather played goal for the Uni-versity of Saskatchewan Huskies soccer team. When Janaya and her husband moved to Cumberland House, Heather visited often, the two women fishing together.

You don’t have to run 12 half marathons to be effective. Even if it’s a bake sale or a steak night or a head shave.

The options are endless . . . — Janaya Stevenson’

Heather’s battle with cancer started with fre-quent headaches and nausea. One day, she lost most of her vision while driving. Doctors found her tumour, and emergency surgery was done in October 2005. Part of the tumour was wrapped around an artery and couldn’t be removed. But she recovered and was working in occupational therapy. A few years later, the old symptoms returned. The tumour was growing. She had a second surgery in the summer of 2011.

“They still thought she would recover in a year and be back to her old self,” Janaya said, her eyes wet with the tears she’s cried many times for her friend.

Heather began having pain in her hips as well, and doctors realized there were other cancerous tumours.

“It was diagnosed as terminal and there were no treatments for it.”

Heather’s parents brought her home to live with them in the fall of that year, several months before she died at the age of 31. To Janaya and to those that knew her, Heather will always be a hero.

“Through her surgeries and ill health, Heather always stayed positive and tackled the obstacles as they came with a smile, because that’s how she saw them, as obstacles. It wasn’t

until the final diagnosis of untreatable cancer that Heather ever entertained the idea that she wouldn’t get better and recover.”

Janaya has been nominated for a YWCA Women of Distinction Award in the health and wellness category. The ceremony will be held May 23 in Saskatoon. Her focus is on an active lifestyle and staying as healthy as pos-sible for her husband and two sons, aged seven and four.

She hasn’t stopped fundraising, despite an injury that’s kept her from running. She orga-nized the first Burpees for Boobies last Octo-ber in Warman, where she now lives. Women signed up and got $5 pledges. The event raised over $6,500. Stevenson did a burpee for every $5 raised.

She tries not to think about her family’s can-cer history, but it weighs on her mind.

“It’s one of those things — to think of my auntie and now that I have two boys, the thought of leaving them that early is so terrify-ing.”

For the people who know how terrifying can-cer is, the dream of a cure cannot come true fast enough. But it helps to know that ordinary people fighting extraordinary odds can make a difference.

Janaya Stevenson ran 12 marathons in 12 months in support of cancer research. qc phoTo by Michelle berg

This was Tamsen Rae’s second year as one of the key makeup artists at Saskatchewan Fashion Week (SFW). Doing makeup during SFW is a completely different genre than Rae’s regular gig, but she absolutely loves it. She’s well-known for her gory, special effects work.

“I love how different it is — it’s one thing to make a person look hideous, it’s another to make a person look beautiful, fashionable and trendy.”

These are all things that you have to think about when doing SFW. She says it can be a stressful environment.

“You have strict time limits, all different types of skin tones to work with, and you’re doing makeup on men, as well. It’s definitely a fun challenge.”

The key makeup artist role requires working with the designers and hairstylists to create a cohesive look.

“I’ll be keying the first day, so I’ll show up, do a demo on one of the models in front of all the other (makeup) artists and then they follow suit,” she says.

Rae loves the energy at SFW and being surrounded by people who share her passion. She enjoys the educational side of makeup too. A self-taught artist, she puts a lot of time and effort into education. She’s taken on a 14-year-old apprentice, does seminars in schools, zombie tutorials and beauty routines at Marca College in Saskatoon. She’s been part of over a dozen fashion shows but mostly does a lot of creative collaborations, photo shoots and lessons.

Rae wears a lot of vintage jewelry to bring out her personality in her black work attire. Her style is a mixture of old and new. She has a collection of vintage cowboy boots she works into her wardrobe. She experiments with different hairstyles and accessories too. She likes to hold onto classic pieces that last forever, like good leather and metals.

Sadly for Saskatchewan, Rae is moving to Montreal. She’s happy to have learned from and been a part of the Saskatchewan fashion scene. Artistic friends she’s met here have helped her develop professionally. She hopes to be part of fashion week in Toronto, Mon-treal and New York in the future.

LocaL aUTHoRS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth readingRead my book

As a mother, grandmother, storyteller and performer, I’ve always loved cre-ating and telling stories that start with “what if ?” When my own chil-dren were small, we used to create family what if ? stories at bedtime.

The kids had their own way of do-ing that: one child would start the story and when it got to an exciting or difficult part, he or she would turn the story over to a brother or sister and they would do the same to keep the tale going.

The objective was always to try to get the story to an exciting part that would challenge the next person to deal with the “what if ?” so they could go on to the next crisis.

What would you do if ...• you were swept away in the rush-

ing waters of a raging river?• you were suddenly responsible for

looking out for some smaller kids, in a crisis like a flood?

• you had to outwit some bad guys and think up a way to escape from them?

Those are just a few of the “what ifs?” that face Barry Richards when he accidentally floats down a flood-

ing river and is marooned in an ap-parently deserted house. There he finds a stranded girl and helps her to safeguard her younger brothers and sister. Together, they outwit some es-caping prisoners (and the flood), and save the day.

Young readers who have already read Terror on Turtle Creek say that it is an exciting and really interesting story ... especially now that there is so much flooding happening all around us.

Terror on Turtle Creek, with illus-trations by a wonderful artist named Rosemarie Condon from Fenelon Falls, Ont., is my fourth book for kids and families. Where Does Your Dog Sleep? and Where Does Your Cat Nap? are early-reader picture

books with delightful illustrations by Val Lawton of Calgary. Val and I also collaborated on a family picture book, Wascana Wild Goose Chase, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wascana Centre Authority.

I’m delighted with the response to all my books. It’s a thrill to see them on the shelves in Regina at Chapters, Apperley Place gift shop at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Cumberland Gallery at the Legislative Building, and Brewed Awakening coffee shop. In Saskatoon, I’ve enjoyed signing copies for doting grandparents or family members at McNally Robinson and Indigo booksellers. And of course the books are also available online through www.yournickelsworth.com, amazon.ca and chapters.ca.

Home chef Kathy’s recipe for brown rice and lentils is a nutritionally complete meal. It’s shown here topped with steamed rapini for an extra veggie kick. qc phoTo By JeNN sharp

SHARP EATS See a food trend you think deserves a highlight in QC? Email [email protected] or visit QC on Facebook

By Jenn Sharp

Easy to find, easy to cook, nutritious and delicious, len-tils are one of chef Michael Smith’s favourite things to cook.

“I’m a huge fan of lentils,” says the Food Network host.

May is the month to get in the kitchen and experi-ment with lentils. The Saskatchewan Pulse Growers has partnered with Smith and launched a competition called Love Your Lentils Canada. It’s open to home chefs and food bloggers from across the country. The challenge is to create or adapt recipes fit for family mealtimes.

You can help choose the winner and you may even be part of the grand prize. Register at www.loveyourlentils.ca, test out the recipes and vote for your favourite. The public chooses the top 10 recipes from both home chefs and food bloggers. Smith and his team then select the top three recipes in each category.

Three winners (a home chef, food blogger and random-ly selected voter) get a trip to our awesome province for a foodie adventure and lentil tour with Smith, followed by a VIP experience with him at the Delta Bessborough in Saskatoon.

Smith, who is based in Prince Edward Island, cooks lentils at least once a week at home. The nutritionally complete combo of carbohydrates and legumes, brown rice and lentils are a family favourite. Basmati rice and curried Indian dal is a comfort food his son loves. The recipes for both can be found at www.lentils.ca.

Smith says there are several myths associated with len-tils. The first is that you have to soak them — you don’t. They cook just as easily as rice. While they’re a perfect vegetarian food because of their high protein content, many think they’re limited to vegetarian menus. Lentils can easily be used as a side dish or added to soups and stews.

If you’re trying to reduce your cholesterol, lentils should be a go-to food. They’re high in fibre, soluble fibre, folate and magnesium, all of which help your heart get and stay healthy.

The best thing about lentils is they’re 100-per-cent Ca-nadian and Saskatchewan is lentil country. According to Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, farmers here grow 97 per cent of the world’s lentil crop.

I wanted to join in the fun and tried one of Smith’s favourite ways to eat lentils. At press time home chef Kathy’s recipe for brown rice and lentils had 52 votes on the Love Your Lentils site. My sister-in-law Tanya Sharp and I tried it with green lentils from my brother’s crop last year. We used vegetable broth, added rosemary, ra-pini (instead of kale), onions and garlic. It was delicious and can definitely be eaten on its own or as a side dish. My brother, however, prefers his food doused in ketchup and thought it “tasted weird.”

# S a S k a t C h e w a n f o o d S C e n e

May is Love Your Lentils month

Here’s chef Kathy’s recipe — try it out and make sure you visit www.loveyourlentils.ca for other awesome lentil recipes.

BROWN RICE AND LENTILS

INGREDIENTS:1 cup brown rice1 cup dried lentils4 cups water or chicken broth½ tsp. salt

METHOD:In a medium saucepan with a tight fitting lid, combine the rice, lentils, water and salt. Bring everything to a full boil then adjust the heat lower, just enough to maintain a slow, steady simmer.

Continue cooking until the rice and lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Turn off the heat, let stand for a few minutes and you are ready to serve and share.

VARIATION:You can add any fresh or dried herbs you like to this dish. Rose-mary, thyme and tarragon all work well.

To make it my own, I cook the rice and lentils separately as the lentils do not take as long as the rice. Use vegetable stock to cook both; the rice for 45 minutes, the lentils for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, dice and saute 2 onions and 4 cloves of garlic. Chop 1 bunch of kale. When the rice and lentils are cooked, add to the saute pan with the onions and garlic.

Stir to combine. Top with kale, add a lid, heat on medium for 2 minutes and serve.

By Michelle Berg

Who? Anthony Bidulka, a Saskatoon mystery author and avid art collector. His novels feature a detective who lives in Saskatoon and travels the world. “It’s a way to merit two things I love, which is writing and travelling.”

What? Bidulka’s house, which is filled with over 400 pieces of art from around the world. Each room has its own theme or colour scheme. “It’s a combination of local artists, artists from auctions and I’ll buy art online. Now that I travel quite a bit, instead of bringing stuff back, I bring art back.” There isn’t a wall in the house that doesn’t have a piece of art on it. There is even a painting in the spot where a TV should sit.

When? Bidulka started collecting art in the early 1990s. He started getting serious in the early 2000s when he attended fundraisers with art auctions. It was also around that time when he built his house.

Where? An acreage in Casa Rio Bay, south of Saskatoon.

Why? Before Bidulka was a writer, he was an accountant who needed a creative outlet — he chose art. “I’d go to these auctions and I admired artists and what they could do with a few combinations of colour and brush strokes. How they could evoke emotion and all these wonderful feelings — peaceful, curious or dark when you look at something. I think its amazing.”

hoW? His love of art came from his mother, who would do embroidery and little paintings. Bidulka explains that as you collect, your taste expands. “I try it on. It’s like clothing. Sometimes I’ll get a piece and be surprised I got it.” He never thinks about where the art will go or if it matches anything. A common question is, “When are you going to run out of wall space?” “I think eventually I’ll start stacking pieces of art against the wall and they’ll just go into a rotation to keep each piece fresh and interesting.”

22 THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013 LEADERPOST.COM/QC

Q: Three years ago, I married a won-derful, kind, generous man, whom I love dearly.

We’re both mid-50s — my fi rst mar-riage, his second. I already owned a nice, paid-off house and no debt. Hav-ing been laid off, I have a very low in-come from occasional contract work and a basement rental apartment.

He has an excellent salary, but few savings. After his costly divorce, he paid for three adult children through very expensive higher education, out of country. When we got engaged, he sold his condo, paid off debt, and moved into my home.

I spent 18 years paying it off, during some tough times as a single woman. I want to move and pay 50 per cent towards a house that belongs to both of us. He pays me “rent” — about 20 per cent of his net salary. With that I pay for all our living expenses, with little extra for myself.

I also do all maintenance, cook-ing, and cleaning. He takes us out for dinners sometimes and occasionally brings me on nice business trips.

However, the amount he pays me monthly to cover both of us, is the same he gives his single daughter, 26, to live on, besides her schooling.

One child’s independent now. He’s been sending the other two two-thirds of his salary for schooling and living expenses. Last year, he took on a huge line of credit from his married daughter who has chil-dren, a husband, and isn’t working. The youngest is graduating this year and found a great job. But she wants a new car, and asked for fi rst and last months’ rent for a very expensive apartment. He sent it.

I don’t like that he doesn’t set limits with his children and I don’t

want to stay in this home. He can af-ford a mortgage, if he’d stop sending so much to his children. He doesn’t want to take on a mortgage even though he makes a good salary and will have a good pension. He wants to hold onto his savings, albeit small.

It’s the only thing we argue about. Also, he’s now legally considered half-owner in my home, which he didn’t invest in. What would be fair to expect and how do I discuss it without causing an argument?

Wanting A Real Marital Home A: Reality Check — wherever you two live together is your marital home. If you adjust it to refl ect both your personalities, it’s a symbol of success, not your past tough times.

The serious issue here is the prior-ity he places on the adult children’s fi nancial needs rather than yours. This is not uncommon in divorced people with good salaries that their children were accustomed to shar-ing. You did not leave children, as he did …. something you knew when you met him, as well as admiring

him for being “generous.”In other words, the current setup

isn’t a surprise. Resentment is a waste of energy. You’re both living in a new situation and life phase and should get some objective fi nancial advice.

What he pays you is not “rent” — it’s his contribution to expenses. (He could also contribute to chores, no rea-son for you to do all, it doesn’t equate to his paying for some dinners).

He needs to re-think, with the fi -nancial adviser, how much longer he needs to support his adult children, besides being generous occasionally.

Insist that he then discusses a future plan with you … that maybe takes a couple more years to fully effect, but that satisfi es you both as primary to each other.

Q: My older daughter, 22, is in jail for a year, based on some comments my younger daughter, 17, said about a situation. I’m worried that the teen-ager might want to “join” her sister or do criminal acts as well.

I talked to someone who works at

that jail and she said the best thing to do is allow my younger daughter to visit her older sister in jail, see the insides of the jail as a way to teach her. (I’d been hesitant in allowing her to visit, when she asked.)

Or allow her to watch her sister re-enact the booking process. Do you think I should allow this or would it be too traumatizing? When she’s with her sister, what discussions should they have?

Mother’s DilemmaA: Visit the jail with your younger daughter rather than allow her to go alone. It’s pretty scary when that door clanks behind you in a locked, guarded facility and it can provoke many emotions, from fear to defi -ance, in a young person.

Ask the court that was involved where to get counselling for your younger daughter, whose bound to be affected by this event. Any feeling of guilt about her sister’s incarcera-tion could lead her down the path to join her, as you suggest, or affect her in other emotional ways.

WINE World

By James Romanow

A few weeks ago I wrote about an inexpensive cabernet that was the kind of every day wine I have come to expect from Chile. Today we’re talking about the big sister of this wine, Dona Bernarda.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen a photo of a person on a wine label, with maybe the ex-ception of the silhouette of Madam Cliquot of the famous champagne house. Although this may not appear startling, as I think about it that rarity is rather odd. Almost all vintners are farmers first. I have yet to meet a farm fam-ily that isn’t as clannish and proud of their relatives as a bunch of Scots in their tartan tat-toos.

The family decided to name their flagship wine after Dona Bernarda. Her family meant it as a tribute to stability, beauty, family life and respect. I’d guess it was also a loving tribute from a grieving husband. It is the best wine that Luis Felipe Edwards is capable of mak-ing, a cabernet sauvignon that is immediately drinkable — the tannins are relatively soft for a four year old wine — but capable of aging.

It has an astounding structure, with a nice balance of acidity, sweetness, tannin and body. This is a pretty hard balance to find. My only regret is the minerals of the vines are slight.

I get a whisper in the astringency, but this is not a wine anyone would accuse of being salty. It’s a blend of cabernet sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah and Petite Verdot.

If you’re a lover of Californian cabs, or Bor-deaux, you owe it to yourself to try this one. It is wonderful.

Dona Bernarda, Luis Felipe Edwards Vina, Colchagua, Chile, 2009. $36.15 *****
