Don’t be afraid in your last year. Really step out of your shell. – Kayla Penteliuk

Back to school

Two students ready for new experiences By Angelina Irinici and Jenn Sharp

As summer ends, back-to-school begins. It’s a season of change and a season of firsts, from kindergarten to the first year of university. At 5, Nixon Lanigan already loves learning. At home, he works on his reading by sounding out new words and when it comes to learning math with his older sister, he’s “in there like a dirty shirt,” says his mom Shastidy. Nixon goes into kindergarten this fall. “I think he’ll love having the structure of learning. I think he’ll like science,” she says. He’s into things like volcanoes and rocks. Right now, his favourite thing is bugs, if you don’t count his Skylanders toys. “Tarantulas aren’t scary,” he says as he looks in the grass for bugs. He says he wants to be a zookeeper when he grows up. As he talks about his Skylanders toys and playing Lego, Nixon explains that he’s already been wearing his new shark backpack that he got for the first day of school. Nixon is enrolled in the morning kindergarten session at Prince Philip School in Saskatoon. “I think I’m just a bit sad to see that he’s growing up, but at the same time I’m excited for him to start learning how to read and do math,” says Shastidy. “I look forward to him growing and having a general love of learning.” A love of learning is what motivated Kayla Penteliuk to enrol in the college of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan this fall, after graduating from Saskatoon’s Evan Hardy Collegiate in June. Penteliuk, who enjoys writing and reading, has always been an academic. She decided not to take any time off after high school because she wants to take advantage of the study habits she’s learned. “Ever since I was little, I wanted to go to the U of S,” says the 18-year-old. “There’s never been a doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t go to university.” Dressed in a light summer dress and with her wavy blond locks falling around her shoulders, she’s confident and ready for the next phase of life. She just finished a rite of passage for all first-year university students: Buying textbooks. “I went in with the book list and it was so

exciting to just find everything — it was like Christmas.” Her exuberance doesn’t stop there. For many, university is about much more than getting the classes needed for a degree. It’s about branching out into a brave new world and leaving the memories of high school behind. It can be a world where anything is possible and the opportunities are endless. “I feel like the people that I meet and the experiences that I have will direct me. There’s so many people that don’t know each other in their first year and I’m just one of them.” Kayla likes journalism but she hasn’t decided on a career. For now, she wants to earn a degree and is looking forward to all her classes, especially Women’s and Gender Studies.

“I’m going to experiment and shop around (to) see what I like. Feminism has always really interested me. It will be suitable for who I am.” The last year of high school can be bittersweet. You’re happy to be done but you’ll never have an experience quite like it again. Everyone knows it’s the end of an era and an inclusive nature prevails. Penteliuk says Grade 12 was the best year of her entire school experience. “You know it’s your last year and you get to know everyone so much better.” Her advice for anyone going into their last year of high school: “Get really involved. It’s so much fun because you’re graduating with all of these peo-

ple; why not get to know them better? “Don’t be afraid in your last year. Really step out of your shell and your comfort zone. It’s your last year — there’s nothing to lose.” Kayla worked on Evan Hardy’s Crampl publication and yearbook. She also helped found the school’s first gay straight alliance (GSA) and social justice league in Grade 11. She’s good at connecting with people. She admits she’s nervous as the first day gets closer, but she’s also excited to meet new people and to learn. “People are telling me about how you walk into this lecture hall and there are 349 other people that are in the same position as you. It’s cool because I get to meet all these people and each person has a story.”

Class Kristian Kaufmann

Age 17, Grade 12 St. Joseph High School, Saskatoon Activities: Soccer and basketball. Favourite subject: History. Best high school memory: “It was cool at the start because it was so different from elementary and there was so many opportunities.” Describe yourself: “Nice guy, fairly outgoing, athletic.” What do you want to be when you grow up? “Being an electrician is sort of what I had in mind. I’ll probably take a year off then go to SIAST or maybe university.” What are you most excited about for this year? “You’re able to choose things for yourself and you have so many options — like if you want to go to class or not, what classes you want to take and extracurricular things.”

Kayla Penteliuk

Age 18 First year Arts and Science, University of Saskatchewan Graduated from Evan Hardy Collegiate in Saskatoon in June Favourite subject: English. Activities: Evan Hardy’s Crampl publication, singer/ songwriter, yearbook committee and helped found the school’s gay straight alliance (GSA) and social justice league. Best high school memory: “The (school’s) Coffeehouse and Showcase nights. I was in Grade 9 the first time I played music at Coffeehouse, and I can remember being absolutely amazed at how supportive everyone was as I walked onstage to perform. These nights really helped me grow not only as a musician, but as a person.” Describe yourself: “I am a bright, compassionate and kind person who is happiest when songwriting, playing guitar or baking.” What do you want to be when you grow up?: Undecided but leaning towards a journalist. What are you most excited about for this year? “To meet new people and to learn.”

of 2013 FIVE THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE UNIVERSITY 1. Take advantage of all the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities student life offers: to learn, travel and meet people. 2. When you’re at a party, go home at midnight as often as you can. With the rare exception, nothing worth your time happens after midnight. It’s when most bad things happen. And energy drinks are not a healthy way to get through the day. Try a good night’s sleep and exercise. 3. Try to resist the urge to skip class and go to the Owl or Louis’. You paid to be here, right? 4. Don’t write an essay the day it’s due. Essays are not the same as news stories. 5. Everything takes longer than expected. Whether it’s researching for an essay, editing a video or walking to class, things come up (the book at the library is on loan, your technology fails you, or you get lost). You need alot of extra time or else you end up frazzled and unable to produce your best work.

THE FIVE BEST RECESS ACTIVITIES 1. Skip rope 2. Swing on the monkey bars 3. Ultimate (play) fighting challenge 4. Hopscotch 5. Anything involving a ball (Red Butt, Dodgeball, soccer)

Looking good for back to school It’s a long-standing tradition for many kids and parents — going back to school shopping to find the perfect outfit for the first day of the new year. Bridges talked to Riley Faber and his mom Rea Harbus about his stylish new threads for the school year. By Ashley Martin

Riley Faber If he had his way, Riley wouldn’t be wearing such a cute outfit on the first day of Grade 2. “Sweats and a T-shirt. I’d wear my ones that say ‘baseball’ on them,” said the seven-year-old. One big change for the new year is his runners, which have laces in them. “We’re working hard to learn to tie our laces this year,” said mom Rea Harbus, a fashion designer. But for Riley, his Swiss Army backpack and waterbottles are the most exciting part of this outfit.

1. SHIRT: Gap. 2. TIE: The Children’s Place. “She gave me the choice of two different ties; I knew I would want this one.” 3. MONSTER WRIST WALLET: Amaranth Designs by Rea Harbus. “I named him Bob.” 4. BACKPACK: Staples. “I like it because it has so many pockets ... My mom said it has to last two years.” 5. WATER BOTTLE: Superstore. “I can’t believe I actually get to bring two water bottles around school. It has cool designs on the sides.”

6. PANTS: Gap. 7. SHOES: Gap.

What is your most memorable moment from when you were in school? SAS03001922_1_1

OPEN AT 7:00 AM

“Playing chess every chance we got, especially after doing so got chess banned. Yes, I’m serious. They banned chess because it was disruptive. We were made fun of and harassed by other students, so there was always a commotion where we played. Instead of cracking down on the troublemakers, they just banned chess from public areas. We tried to play in the library, but that was only for reading and studying. We tried to book study rooms, but those were only to be used for group study. In the end, they couldn’t stop us. We learned to play blind chess (no board) and played as we walked the halls.” — Ron Porter

ENTER FOR YOUR CHANCE

“In Grade 8, my desk was at the front of the classroom and one time when I was returning from using the washroom I thought I would be smart and jump over the chair without using my hands on the desk. My feet got caught on the chair and I fell flat on my face on the other side of the desk. I was humiliated to say the least.” — Shelly Lambert

“The year end wiener roast when the fathers would build a huge teepee of logs and twigs. While it burned down enough so we could get close, we had a softball game. I went to a one-room country schoolhouse — giving away my age here!” — Sarah Galvin “Making a friend for life.” — Gail Mehler “Hands down my most memorable moment in high school was at our Grade 12 grad. I won the female athlete of the year scholarship. What makes that moment so special was the competition I was against. Any of us would have well deserved this honour. It was an amazing self esteem booster!” — Alysia Czmuchalek “Breaking into the biology classroom and stringing up a pair of hot pink pantyhose from the ceiling,

The teacher swaggered into class everyday singing the song and then he would talk about hot pink pantyhose and beans. Only the janitors knew who we were.” — Judy S. “Skipping school!” — Linda Howard “Waiting for school to be done — I was a clock watcher.” — Kerri Senkow “I always loved the new school supplies; something about fresh paper, pens and erasers. And (at) the french immersion school I went to, we made toffee in the snow, (I) loved that.” — Macarena Sofia “I do remember being nerdily excited for the first day wearing my new clothes and having all those lovely new school supplies.” — Lisa Heron

Back to school nerves at any age By Angelina Irinici Joel Seaman didn’t excel in high school — he found it challenging, didn’t apply himself and had “dismal” grades. After he completed high school in Watrous, Sask. in 2003, he took off to Toronto, joined a band and toured North America. He always preferred his education in classical music compared to his academic education, but soon realized that life on the road wasn’t for him anymore. In 2010, Seaman moved back to Saskatchewan and settled in Saskatoon where he worked construction. He remembered the difficulty

he had in high school and decided any type of schooling just wasn’t for him. He’d decided that although he wouldn’t consider himself a professional, he would make a fine living doing labour jobs. But then, he began to want more. “I thought I ought to go and explore and see what my aptitude was for being in education and involved and committed to some kind of outcome that I hadn’t been (committed to) before,” he explains. With a new attitude and a few nerves, Seaman, then 27, decided to enrol at SIAST in 2011 to upgrade his high school marks at night while he continued working his construction job during the day. “I never thought that I would go

After upgrading his Grade 12 classes at Nutana Collegiate, Joel Seamen finished a successful first year at the University of Saskatchewan.

Going into my second year of university and having my sights set on law school, it would have been laughable (years ago) – Joel Seaman

“I never thought that I would go back to school as far as postsecondary was concerned, let alone go back and upgrade high school marks,” he says. He enrolled at Nutana Collegiate in 2012 to upgrade more classes, but this time in a high school setting. Seaman admits he was nervous to not only be surrounded by younger people he didn’t know, but because he didn’t know what to expect. Plus, the memories of his previous high school experience weren’t very positive. “When anyone performs poorly at any given task, regardless how much energy was invested, any person questions their aptitude at that given task.” Thankfully, he says he was quite surprised with the outcome; he credits the staff for the comfortable and inclusive

environment and consistently being the oldest in the class turned out to be a non-issue. He hadn’t really given that a second thought. And, while at Nutana, his marks had jumped from the mid-50s to the mid-90s. When Ian Cooper (see his profile in Bridges’s favourite teacher story) found out that Seaman applied and got accepted into SIAST’s power engineering course, he saw a different outcome for his student. “He said, ‘You might have a bit more to offer. It’s possible this job will not be enough for you, ’ ” Seaman remembers of his conversation with Cooper. “There’s no creative outlet in a job like that.” Seaman decided to change his career path and although he says at one time he was “quite concerned” that he wouldn’t

succeed in post-secondary education, he applied and got accepted into the University of Saskatchewan’s Arts and Science program. He says that he’s had a successful first year and is planning on applying to law school after his second year. Seaman doesn’t regret taking time off school and having to upgrade later in his life. One reason is that his commitment at the time was to pursue music. He says he doesn’t think he’d be as successful academically back then as he is now. “Going into my second year of university and having my sights set on law school, it would have been laughable (years ago). “Nutana afforded me the opportunity to look at myself and say, ‘OK you’re completely capable. Let’s do this.’ ”

Ian Cooper: Getting on the students’ level By Angelina Irinici I was in my final weeks of high school at Marion M. Graham Collegiate and feeling anxious and alone about being one of the only seniors applying to a university outside of the province. Ian Cooper, or Mr. Cooper at that time, approached me in his history class and asked me what was wrong — he could sense I was having a rough day. Cooper genuinely cares about his students’ well-being and has the most earnest and genuine way of showing it. “I’m going to ask you what your goals are and I’m going to do my best to make sure that I get you the skill set so you can work on it, be successful and stand out,” he explains of a questionnaire his students fill out at the beginning of each semester. Cooper has a way with students; inspiring, encouraging and seeing their potential seems to come naturally for him. While most teachers find it disrespectful to fall asleep during class, he looks at it from the student’s perspective and appreciates that, as tired as they are, they still attend class. It seems strange to think there was a time when he wanted to become a lawyer over a teacher. Cooper got accepted into teachers’ college and wait-listed for law school; he planned on teaching for a year before reapplying to law, becoming a lawyer then “retiring” into teaching years later. But, when teaching, he had an epiphany while lecturing on the roles of men in violence against women. “The lecture caused them to shift their attitudes to the point that they not only saw their role but agreed to wear a white ribbon,” Cooper says of a group of “conservative guys” in a small town in Ontario. “It was that moment when I realized this is what I’m supposed to do. I’m supposed to be a teacher.” Before starting his teaching career, Cooper decided to spend four months in Africa to bring “world experience into the classroom.” He spent his first six years teaching at the esteemed

This fall, Ian Cooper will be supporting Aboriginal students and helping them improve their graduation rates at Nutana Collegiate. Bridges photo by Michelle Berg

Lawrence Park Collegiate in Toronto before spending almost 10 years at Marion M. Graham in Saskatoon. He transferred to Nutana Collegiate in 2008. This fall, he’ll be starting a new role there as the learning leader, where he’ll be focusing on supporting First Nations, Inuit and Metis students to help improve their success and graduation rates.

Q. How do you use the Africa trip to teach students? A. That there’s more outside of the walls of not only the school but the city or town you’re in. There are more possibilities. The kind of

underlying message is: Get out of the fishbowl that you’re in. Once you step out of it, then you find out what’s important to you and who you are because you’re not being influenced by your parents, your friends and this city. You actually discover who you are. Ultimately that’s my goal — for you to find out what makes you happy and what drives you. Q. Why do you invest so much in your students’ personal and academic lives? A. For me, teaching is all about relationships. I (want) to build relationships with students so that

they trust me — not only in that I know my material and my content, but that I’m actually interested in them. Then they’ll be honest with me and the only way I can help them is if they’re honest. For whatever reason, I can pick up on if some people might not be having a good day. I can help by (teaching) skills or just being there to listen. High schools are a weird kind of environment and if a student knows that there’s somebody in that building who’s there for them and willing to listen, it’s amazing what that can do for their outlook and ultimately their success.

Q. What’s your advice for students to make the best out of their high school experience? A. Surround yourself with good people. Find those people that care about you and support you. Don’t hang out with people who don’t support you because there’ll be a lot of those in high school. Find what’s there for you — maybe there’s a direction, maybe there’s skills that you want to learn, maybe it’s the extracurricular. Recognize that high school doesn’t define who you are and how well you do in high school doesn’t define who you are. So, figure out what makes you happy.

PILE OF BONES BRASS BAND

School band was ensemble’s training ground Without school and community band programs, it’s unlikely this Regina party band would exist today. The Pile Of Bones Brass Band, whose genesis in early 2010 was from another (vulgarly named) brass band, has at its forefront some unusual instruments, at least by mainstream standards: trumpet, trombone, sousaphone and the like. Most members of the energetic eight-piece got started on their instruments in middle years, through local marching bands which, in retrospect, had a heavy influence on the band’s sound. By Ashley Martin Bryce Wiles — drummer Thom Collegiate, 1997 Started trumpet at age 12 in Regina Police Junior Band, then drums in high school jazz band. “It came down to I could either be in Beavers or be in band and I chose band and I just stuck with it. One thing I noticed about band was there was always lots of girls in band so you could go and make friends with all the girls. When you’re a guy (you have) your baseball team or your hockey team or whatever, but band you could have some (girl) friends.” Karl Valiaho — tenor sax Campbell Collegiate, 1998 Reluctantly started saxophone at around age 10 in Lions Band. “My dad was talking about this open house for the Lions band and I was like, ‘No I’m not doing that, not interested.’ ‘Nope, let’s go, we’re doing it,’ and it was a big ordeal actually. Eventually I’d like to say that I won out, but I didn’t. I found myself at the band hall and went from there.” The Pile Of Bones Brass Band includes (from left) Joel Lareau, Cheney Lambert, Bryce Wiles, Phil Yathon, Karl Valiaho, Justin Sheppard, and (not pictured) Colin Neufeld and Richie Pollack. Catch them on Sept. 28 at the German Club in Regina for Oktoberfest. BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHAEL BELL

Cheney Lambert — trumpet Ecole Monseigneur de Laval, 2001 Started trumpet at age 12 in Lions Band, with a few false starts. “By Christmastime I quit. I didn’t like it. I didn’t have any friends. The next year my sister was joining so I thought I would have one friend, I think, so I joined next fall again but on percussion and again I quit, didn’t like it. My sister finished the year, then she went onto the next band, C band at the time, and I kind of got antsy again wanting to join, so after begging Bob Mossing to let me in the advanced band not having done a full beginner year, he allowed me to join up a third time and I was kind of hooked from that point on.” Joel Lareau — trombone Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School, 2007 Started trombone in Grade 6 band, then joined the Lions in 2005. “They bring in four instruments, try each one type of thing and see what you like. I tried the trumpet and then on the trombone I went bahhn-ahhnahhn. Like oh my god. Then I was hooked.”

Dr. Felix Veloso

Natural ways of preventing most strokes

Dr. Felix Veloso

“Doctor, I had another stroke! I am taking several costly medications most with possible serious side-effects but I am still having strokes. “Besides adding more pills or switching drugs, is there anything more I can do or could have done, preferably naturally, that might provide additional protection against strokes?” In my more than 40 years of providing neurologic care to the people of southern Saskatchewan, I have repeatedly heard similar frustrations and questions from worried patients and anxious relatives. Stroke Prevention Naturally: Proven Non-Pharmaceutical Stroke Avoidance Strategies is my modest effort to address their concerns. My book revolves around a patient who enters the emergency room with an acute stroke that completely paralyses his left side. I have three hours to administer the medication to dissolve the blood clot responsible for his stroke and thereby save him from the condition that is the number

one perpetrator of permanent disability and the second highest cause of mortality in the world. Injecting the blood thinner longer than three hours after the onset of his stroke symptoms puts the patient in grave risk of serious bleeding complications. While preparing the patient to receive the blood-clot buster, I discover that his blood pressure was dangerously elevated and must be normalized first before I can safely infuse him with the blood thinner. The patient’s wife then informs me that the reason for her husband’s stroke-causing hypertension was that he had not been taking his anti-hypertensive medications as prescribed partly because of perceived lack of efficacy and partly due to side-effects of the drugs. The wife then understandably asks: “What more could he have done naturally that might have provided additional protection against stroke? My book provides recognized natural healthy lifestyle strategies that can prevent up to 90 per

ASK ELLIE

Wife’s cleaning habits not sweeping husband off his feet Q: I’m a well-earning software developer (150K annually). She’s a former teacher, now a housewife (40K annually). I love her. She loves me. We have two beautiful children, hoping for more. She’s taking care of the kids, and tutors two days weekly when we have a babysitter. I wake at night to give the little one the bottle. I play with the kids 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. until my wife wakes up. The older child goes to daycare five days weekly. Evenings, she bathes them; I’m there for a book and teeth brushing. I like a clean apartment. I start the dishwasher and washing machine at 7 a.m. I don’t mind; it’s not hard! My issue is with my wife’s cleaning habits. Kids often drop food on the floor, but she never cleans it. Dust lives in all corners of our rooms unless I vacuum. She never does it. If I’m too busy with work to load the dishwasher and washing machine, it’s never done. And she almost never moves the

Ask Ellie

washed laundry to the dryer. When I didn’t do these chores, plates and clothes went unwashed for four days. She says I shouldn’t even comment because she’s the one watching the kids, most of the day. When they’re in bed, she watches TV rather than ever vacuum or wash the floor. I do agree that she puts up a full day’s work watching the kids, while I’m at work. Should I just silently do everything she dislikes doing? What kind of example will this be for the kids? Unequal at Home A: The best family model is one with loving parents who figure out how to

problem-solve amiably. Sure, cleanliness matters, especially regarding hygiene and healthy conditions. But being realistic can bridge this divide. Problem: You love each other, plan on having more children, your wife’s not attentive to cleaning-up, and it bothers you to do it all. Solution: Hire a once-weekly cleaner (about $125 a day, depending where you live, which apparently you can afford.) It’ll relieve concern about any serious dirt/dust build-up, and cover a couple of days’ worth of laundry. Go for what works for you both, rather than keep a balance sheet. You’re both doing good, important work for your family.

Q: During six months of dating, we have an extremely positive and affectionate relationship. He lives three hours away, we both have busy schedules, and the distance makes our limited time together more special. Recently, I brought him home to meet my family, and was extremely

disappointed with their response — he’s nice, but you can do better! True, he’s no typical A-type boyfriend with a big, tall build, but he’s extremely caring with a very kind demeanor. I’m only 20, so know there are others out there, but should I give-up on him just because my family isn’t fully convinced? Disappointed A: It’s an approach some parents misguidedly employ with older children, believing they’re helping you see the bigger picture rather than being straight-up negative. It still bites like criticism. But don’t let that make you overreact. Brush it off, and enjoy the relationship. You’re clearly aware that at 20, liking this guy doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s The One. The distance makes it “special,” but also prevents you both from knowing if this will become long-term. Tell your parents to also not overreact. It’s still early days in dating someone you can only see on limited time.

Q: My fiancé (two years together) and I are in our late 50s. But his poor hygiene’s preventing my saying “I do.” He rarely brushes his teeth, and only for 30 seconds before sleep. He eats and chews gum all day. He also “picks” and “eats” his nose. It’s making me nauseous. I passed him tissues, placed a box beside him, but no change. Our love life has dwindled. I can’t see beyond his disgusting habit and bad breath. I love him but either this stops or there’s no wedding. Helpless A: Neither of you are “helpless.” He CAN change such habits, voluntarily or with behaviour therapy. Speak up and say that his persistent unhygienic habits disgust you, his breath’s foul, and you can’t stand having sex with him, due to these reasons. If he resists change, you’re free, and justified to end the relationship. Why would you stay when you’re so uncomfortable and turned off ?

H e a lt h y l u n c h e s

Lunchtime favourites get a makeover By Jenn Sharp School is starting and it’s the same old story — what to pack in the kids’ lunch boxes? You want them to eat healthy but you know they won’t touch any of it if it looks too weird. There are ways to sneak in nutritious alternatives, but it also helps to get your children on board. Ask them to help prepare their lunches. Explain why certain foods are better for their bodies than others. Once they’re involved, they’ll be that much happier to eat what they’ve packed. Another hurdle when packing the lunch box is that many schools don’t allow any type of nut product on the property. If your child has a nut allergy, you’ve already educated yourself on what he can eat. For everyone else — I did you a favour and sampled a peanut butter alternative made from toasted, non-GMO soy beans called WowButter. Along with coming from a 100 per cent nut-free facility, it’s also gluten free. WowButter smells just like peanut butter and tastes pretty darn similar too. It has a slight aftertaste, but not enough to dissuade me from eating it again. The nutritional content (and price) is similar to peanut butter. Read on for some healthy remakes of old lunchtime standbys. It’s all nutritious and your kids will gobble it up. Or they’ll trade with a buddy; either way, someone’s kid will be eating healthy right?

INSTEAD OF: Ants on a Log with Cheez Whiz TRY: Laughing Cow cheese Cheez Whiz, loaded with salt and saturated fat, is one step away from eating plastic. And there hasn’t been actual cheese in it for years. INSTEAD OF: PB&J on white bread TRY: Banana, WowButter and honey on a whole wheat wrap Substitute WowButter for the peanut butter and banana for the sugarladen jelly. The banana adds potassium; the WowButter protein for a high energy kick to take little ones through the afternoon. Adding a little honey offsets WowButter’s slight aftertaste. The wrap (more fun to eat than a sandwich) has more fibre than white bread to help them stay full.

INSTEAD OF: Tuna or chicken salad with mayo TRY: Guacamole Not every kid will eat guacamole, but most will if it’s a mild mixture paired with their favourite meat on a sandwich. Mayo doesn’t offer a whole lot in the name of nutrition but avocados are full of healthy fats and fibre. They’re also a great source of lutein, which helps protect against eye disease.

INSTEAD OF: Carrots with Ranch dip TRY: Greek yogurt and dill dip Add dill, lemon juice and perhaps a little basil to Greek yogurt for a protein-packed alternative to high-fat and nutritionally lacking Ranch dressing (many brands also contain MSG). Kids love dipping — provide them a healthy alternative and they’ll be just as happy.

Reena’s Yummy Greek Salad

Michaella earned second place. She loves that these patties have lots of veggies and taste like mashed potatoes but with loads of extra flavour. The combination of potatoes and beans creates a great vegetarian lunch option that can be made ahead and then warmed up or enjoyed cold. Substitute Romano cheese for a new twist on taste.

This recipe won first place in the kids’ recipe challenge. It is geared toward Grades 1 to 3. Sabrina enjoys the combination of sweet tomatoes and crunchy cucumbers. Fresh vegetables are always a great option for lunch. With the addition of crisp pita and feta cheese this makes a vibrant and refreshing option for kids. To keep the vegetables crisp, pack separately from the pita chips and dressing. > 2 whole-wheat pitas, cut into 8 wedges each > 3 cups grape tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise > 6 mini cucumbers, cut into 1-cm. slices > 1 cup crumbled light feta cheese

Right or wrong, people make a judgment on what you are based on what you wear, especially a first impression. — Elena Grant

Setting school style boundaries

Encourage students to wear age-appropriate attire By Lauren La Rose TORONTO — Before her daughter leaves the house, Elena Grant has established a rule to help ensure her teen’s ensemble isn’t too revealing. “She’s got to lift up her arms, and if her shirt comes up above her belly, she’s got to put a cami(sole) on or tank top.” As owner of online tween clothing boutique Sofiabella.ca — which also operates a retail store in North Vancouver — Grant makes an effort to carry age-appropriate clothes and to offer alternatives to more suggestive or grownup offerings targeted to the younger demographic. “It has to be on trend. The girls want to be in style,” said Grant, mother to 15-year-old daughter Sofia and sons Josh and Ben. “So what the challenge is, is in finding pieces that have the look of what’s current but that’s cut appropriately for their bodies and nothing that’s going to be too sophisticated or too sexy. We don’t want 12-year-olds looking sexy.” While the ’80s, off-the-shoulder look is in vogue, Grant said she aims to stay away from such selections. Instead, she’ll try to find styles that don’t completely bare the shoulder and encourage girls to wear tank tops with wider straps underneath to “get a bit of the look without going overboard.” Grant said she has engaged in a lot of discussion with Sofia on the subject of fashion choices and stressed the importance of “what you say to the world by what you wear.” “Even though you think the pair of cute little cutoff jean shorts are trendy and in style and comfortable, what are you saying to the world when half your butt is showing or your bra strap is showing or your belly is showing? “Right or wrong, people make a judgment on what you are based on what you wear, especially a first impression. Now that she’s older, she understands it a lot more.” Yet it’s not just a matter of steering kids away from body-hugging, skin-baring or suggestive attire that raises potential headaches for parents. It’s also dealing with items marketed toward youngsters which some critics say perpetuate antiquated gender or sexist stereotypes. In 2011, a girl’s shirt bearing the slogan “I’m too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me” was pulled by J.C. Penney after a fierce backlash, and the retailer issued an apology. Earlier this month, The Children’s Place

apologized in a Facebook post to those offended by its “My Best Subjects” shirt, which was also removed from sale. The girl’s tee featured checkmarks next to the words “shopping,” “music” and “dancing” among the list of subjects. Meanwhile, the corresponding box next to “math” was left unchecked with the slogan “Well, Nobody’s Perfect” scrawled underneath. Toronto-based family therapist Jennifer Kolari said parents may be inclined to make certain compromises with their children over fashion choices, such as a pair of earrings they may want to wear or sporting a shirt over an outfit to make it more appropriate. She said it’s still “perfectly OK” to tell their child the clothing they covet is unsuitable or too advanced for their age. “I don’t think we’re doing a good enough job as parents protecting childhood. It’s fast. It’s fleeting,” said Kolari, a mother of three and founder of Connected Parenting. “Kids are already doing teenage things and acting like teenagers at nine, which is heart-

breaking, because you’re still a little kid at nine. You should be barefoot, running in your shorts getting muddy and having a great time at nine.” Kolari acknowledged that once youngsters reach their later teen years, parents can’t engage in battles over clothing in the same manner as they did when children were younger. This is why it’s important to engage in a dialogue with kids early on about the symbolism of clothing and the image or look they want to portray through their dress, she noted. “The closer you are to your teenager, the more they’re going to value your opinion,” she said. “Knowing that it upsets you to wear something might be the reason that they say: ‘OK, I’ll put a sweater on.’ “The more you start these patterns now, the more you’re going to raise mindful, independent thinkers who go: ‘You know what? I don’t have to wear that just because everyone else does.”’ Nancy Dennis, trend director for children’s wear for Sears Canada, said it can be tough to

encourage younger children to wear age-appropriate apparel when they see fashions adorning the racks that older kids are wearing. She suggested drawing on style elements of a favourite tween or teen role model that kids can incorporate into their outfits, like sunglasses, studded boots or a graphic T-shirt. “That’s a way of adding a bit of Hollywood or rock star (style) without incurring a huge amount of expense.” Dennis said another way to emulate the star look without being provocative or inappropriate is allowing children to show their colourful side. Pop star Katy Perry and tween phenom Willow Smith are known for stepping out sporting eye-popping hues, and kids can easily follow suit by mixing and matching their favourite colours or prints. “I think fashion is an expression of art and individuality and creativity,” she said. “If they want to wear two colours that clash, I say go for it. As long as it’s warm, it’s age-appropriate and they feel good in it, I think that’s great.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Lucky Penny

Try this Australian wine for its fabulous finish By James Romanow I think white blends are just getting better and better. I have a theory that the exposure for a decade or two to the rigour of single varietal wines, combined with some drinking of traditional Old World wines, has meant that the vintners have worked out how to make wines for drinking as opposed to selling to billionaires that want to impress guests. Meet Lucky Penny White. The Australians have spent a zillion-and-a-half hours panicking over their slow slide back to normalcy. At one point a decade back, they made up to a quarter of all wines sold in Canada, and not far behind that in the United States. Alas, they now only produce about one-tenth of the world’s wine, and that percentage will drop in the foreseeable future. In any event, I picked up this well packaged white the other day. The label implies pear and peach, and I assumed it would be a moscato blend. I was very pleasantly surprised by the contents of my glass. So much so, that instead of spending the afternoon applying tongue to glass and fingers to keyboard, I wandered off into the park to contemplate the clouds and life in general. The wine does deliver the flavours promised by the label, but it does a great deal better than the label implies. This isn’t a simple wine at all.
