This is Doepker's second year at the Saskatoon International Fringe Festival, one of seven artisans at the Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company's (SNTC) Aboriginal artisan village. She is also one of only a couple who returned from last year, the village's "pilot" year.
Some people have seen a flower they've liked, said they'd come back for it, and when they did, it was sold. So I've had to make special ones for them," she said.
She says she'll be sticking around for a while, though, as she and her boyfriend are expecting a baby at the end of September. Down the road, though, she's not sure, because one set of grandparents is here, but her boyfriend is from France, and that's where the other set of grandparents still lives.

The following article was written by Mi'kmaq writer and historian Daniel N. Paul following the death of former Horton First Nation Chief Rita Smith. Written to honor Smith's life and accomplishments, the story was originally published in the Halifax Herald in January 1997.
This is the gist of the story: [Abe], a veteran of the Second World War, was entitled to housing assistance under the old Veteran's Land Act. But when he applied for assistance to build a decent home on Horton Indian reserve, he was given the old bureaucratic run around. Rather than labor to squeeze into this short column an epic tale of how to defeat bureaucratic obstruction by determined persistence, let's just say that by the time Rita got through with the department's troops, the Smiths had their home.

This paper identifies two new tools, the Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS) and Derrida's deconstruction method, to identify cognitive differences between Australian, Thai, and Japanese managers. The KTS identifies one's temperament pattern, which describes ways in which human personalities interact with the environment to satisfy needs. Temperament theory has been extended to leadership/management theory to show that inborn temperament tendencies are differently distributed by cultural groups and these tendencies affect approaches to negotiations. Derrida's deconstruction method offers a new approach to identifying a culture's true diversity by recommending an analysis of the 'difference-to-oneself' within a culture before comparing 'difference-between' cultures. Results identified signi...

Bling H2O, meanwhile, is packaged in limited-edition, corked and frosted-glass bottles "exquisitely handcrafted" with Swarovski crystals, and bills itself as "gourmet" bottled water. The inspiration of Hollywood producer and writer Kevin G. Boyd, who observed that one could tell a lot about a person by the bottled water he carried, Bling H2O, according to its website (blingh2o.com, where it can be purchased), "is strategically positioned to target the expanding super-luxury consumer market. It's couture water that makes an announcement like a Rolls Royce Phantom -- the 'Cristal' of bottled water.

[Jamie Johnston] and fellow artisan Don Park were doing some head scratch on their latest creation; a chopped '53 Chevy coupe. "Chopped" doesn't quite cut it; this Bowtie has had four inches removed from the front section, and a radical eight inches in the rear, creating a fastback roofline long before it was fashionable. "It's a true lead sled," said Johnston. He produced a die-cast Mercury with the same custom slice, supplied by the Chevy's owner for reference purposes. "Every car is an individual. We never build the same thing twice.
Primer-finish rat rods have been steadily gaining in popularity in these parts. "The rat rod has been around for a long time," said Johnston. "All of a sudden, it's become commercialized." Park, whose formative years recall a time when Empress Street w...
