German Culture Alive - A SaskScapes feature seriesThis is the fifth in a series entitled "German Culture Alive”, a special "SaskScapes Podcast presents" feature sponsored by the Saskatchewan German Council. Visit the website to learn more about the non-profit organization, its mandate, and outreach.Waltraude Stehwien’s artistic sensibilities run so deep it is as if they form the very makeup of her DNA.  Her earliest inspiration was her father who was a visionary and a well-respected puppeteer in Germany.  Waltraude wanted nothing more than to follow in his footsteps and she did just that. Her family survived the turmoil of WWII where often they had to hastily relocate, leaving many of her father’s treasures behind.   Her life’s journey eventually brought Waltraude, her husband, and four children to Saskatchewan.  Only a few of her father's puppets made the journey. Waltraude was groundbreaking in bringing the art form to life in Saskatchewan.  Her second passion was a skill she also learned from her father. The art of scissor cutting (Scherenschnitte). Her work is often inspired by the landscape of our province.  Some of her work is currently on tour thanks to the support of OSAC.  This was a 40-year reunion between Waltraude and SaskScapes host Kevin Power who also shares a passion for puppetry.  The energy in the room during the recording was palpable as the two share insights on artistry in their lives.  This was a meeting of two minds and hearts, and a reunion to remember.This episode has a part 2 soon to be released,   (Episode 103) featuring Barbara Stehwien (Waltraude’s daughter) who shares the story of her father Fritz (Waltraude’s husband) who was a prolific and successful painter. You can learn more about the Stehwien family by following the links belowhttp://waltraudestehwien.blogspot.com/http://fritzstehwiengallery.blogspot.com/https://www.stehwien.art/===================================================================SaskScapes is a podcast featuring the stories of arts, culture and heritage in Saskatchewan.

Recognize, improvise, adapt and thrive. Those are the key skills which lay the ground work for a phenomenal program in North Battleford called B.E.A.T.S. (Building Expression and Awareness Through Theatre and Sound). Alan Corbeil, a North Battleford social worker, created this program in partnership with the Living Sky School Division and the Prairie North Health Region.  The program targets at-risk youth and teaches them the skills that set  a course for a future full of hope.

Kevin Power is joined by Alan along with Holly (artistic director), and two of the programs success stories - Talia and Sereta.  You'll be truly touched by just how articulate, dynamic and confident these two young girls are, and they both credit the B.E.A.T.S. program for their newly found sense of self. ============================================== SaskScapes is a podcast featuring the stories of arts, culture and heritage in Saskatchewan.

SaskScapes turns 70 and what better way to celebrate than with the man who has provided the theme music for the podcast since episode one. Saskatchewan born singer/songwriter Jeffery Straker has established himself as one of the most successful (and busiest) artists this province has produced, and has gone on to international acclaim.  Kevin Power joins Jeffery in a conversation that is more fun than two people ought to have in a podcast!  And, it's another "6 degrees" moment as Jeffery reveals his musical lineage which connects him to Beethoven and Chopin. Even Jeffery is part of Taron Cochran's 6-degrees world.==============================================SaskScapes is a podcast featuring the stories of arts, culture and heritage in Saskatchewan.

The Preeceville Heritage Museum committee pulls out all the stops with an "Ethnic Desert Night". Prepare to have your salivary glands activated as several of Kevin's guests talk about their cultural background and how the dishes they've prepared tie in with their heritage.

Gary Edwards is a Cultural Support Provider for Residential School Survivors at All Nations Hope in Regina. A survivor himself, Gary was rounded up by a gunboat and issued to a residential school in Ile Ste. Croix at the age of 2. Gary talks about his experience, painting pictures with his words- his phrasing almost poetic. He speaks of his journey to healing, the Indigenous way of life, and the many guides who have supported him on his path. It is my hope, as it is Gary's, that someone hears this episode who needs to hear it in order to help in their own healing, As Gary says: "Let's hope that one day this conversations never happens". 

If you ever find yourself playing a Saskatchewan music trivia game you'll want this guy on your team! And if you are ever in search of the perfect Saskatchewanian to be the subject of a "6 degrees of separation" game, well look no further! Taron Cochrane has received many accolades in our province and it's likely because every cell of his being vibrates with the Saskatchewan music scene. But beyond that, Taron tirelessly gives of his time and talents in so many ways; driven by passion, motivation, community involvement, and volunteerism. 

It's the first SaskScapes podcast recorded live in front an audience at the Milestone Library.

Jim Hadfield has had a life long career in business and took that savvy and his passion for baking and founded his own company "Jim's Buns" - and based on his loyal client following, his buns are a hit!  And amidst all of the fun and laugher of this episode you might even pick up a tip on what foods to have with you should you find yourself stranded on a deserted island.
