http://www.sidekickmagazine.com/nov99/books.html

Extractions: Header("books"); SideBar1("article"); SideBar2("article"); I discovered Sharon Butala on the Chapters Website . I spend a lot of time cruising that site: spending money, perusing the Bestsellers list, prize nominees, reader reviews, and discovering writers that have never crossed my path before. I stumbled upon Sharon Butala in the Canadian authors section and took the plunge. After reading The Garden of Eden I was happy to have finally discovered her, and also quite dismayed that I hadn't found her sooner. This is not Butala's first work. She has written several novels and short story collections I'm sure I'll be visiting Chapters.ca sometime soon, to see what else she has written that I can spend my money on. Butala tells the tale of two women: farmer's wife Iris and her niece Lannie. Iris grew up on her father's farm in Saskatchewan and now farms it with her husband Barney. Her niece Lannie, who Iris and Barney raised since she was a little girl, has disappeared. Running away from her troubles ten years earlier, Lannie leaves the farm and hasn't been seen since. She is heard from very rarely and Iris, although she misses Lannie and wonders periodically where she is, is not prompted to find her until Barney dies suddenly. After Barney dies, Iris's own troubles magnify: how will she run the farm by herself? Should she sell to the big corporation that is offering to buy up all the land in the area? Why did Barney live the last year of his life at his ranch all by himself? Why is her father-in-law blaming her for Barney's unhappiness? In her confusion and mourning, Iris decides now is the right time to try to find Lannie. Iris claims she now needs to find Lannie simply so she can advise her of her uncle's death. But she can't fool me, I know she is just running away from her fears and doubts just like Lannie did ten years ago.

Green & White: Winter 2003: Letters To The Editor
I cannot believe that you would publish an article purporting to highlight themany renowned writers among the alumni without mentioning sharon butala!!!
http://www.usask.ca/alumni/alumnisite/publications/green_white/issues/winter2003

Extractions: Publications Editor I was disappointed to see the apologia for the petrochemical industry published as "Why I am a Skeptic on the Global Warming Issue " in the last issue of the Green and White I received. I will not ridicule Mr. Westbrook's opinion on global warming, as he notes many of the proponents of global warming do to the skeptics. However, I do wonder how accurate some of the portrayal of some of the science in his article is. Yes, climate change is a difficult issue to understand and our ability to predict the effects leaves something to be desired. But that does not affect our ability to see climate change. Quite frankly, the most problematic part of the article is the "benefits" of global warming. Increased crop yields? Perhaps, if global warming doesn't cause more drought. Lower fuel bills? Many global warming models don't predict massive temperature changes, but even these small climatic changes are thought to make dramatic changes in our surroundings. For example, a warm period several thousand years ago, known as the Alithermal or Climatic Optimum, raised average temperatures only what is thought to be a few degrees, but caused massive changes in local environments. I agree with Mr. Westbrook, that much of what we know about climate and climate change sometimes leaves something to be desired. However, I disagree most vehemently with his conclusion that not knowing all of the science means we can plant our heads deeper in the ground.

http://www.usask.ca/education/coursework/edfdt881/

Extractions: The new ecological culture is often defined as rethinking the relationship of "man'' and "nature," but both of these terms are problematic. The male generic "man" conceals the Western ruling-class context of the problem. But the word "nature" in Western thought is also part of the problem. The word "nature" is used in four different senses in Western culture: (1) as that which is "essential" to a being; (2) as the sum total of physical reality; (3) as the sum total of physical reality, including humans; and (4) the "created" world apart from God and divine grace. Rosemary Radford Ruether , Gaia and God Objectives of the course Students will understand reasons for the resurgence of wisdom in the past twenty years among deep ecologists, feminists (especially theologians), and First Nations elders;

Extractions: Buy one from zShops for: Average review score: A special field of dreams You don't have to know much about Saskatchewan or about the Prairies in Canada to find this book worth reading. Open your mind to the fascinating and magnetic presence of a 'field' - not only a field of dreams, but also one of realities, past and present, that reveal themselves over time. Although a very personal journey of discovery, through time, history, and culture, it is a very engaging journey that you will not regret sharing. On the contrary, Butala's insights and experiences will draw you in and you will explore some important messages for yourself. The description of the unique landscape in Southeastern Saskatchewan, its flora and fauna is beautiful in itself and worth reading. After finishing 'Wild Stone Heart', you will want to visit the 'field' yourself. Although you will have learned by then that you will not see what Sharon Butala has learned to see and to discover over many years of visiting this captivating spot. You will have to find your own 'field' to discover and re-discover your place in time and in nature. Highly recommended reading: more than once and not only for those who enjoyed 'The Perfection of the Morning'

Extractions: Merald "Bubba" Knight got to the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and Museum, Sharon, early Thursday, and dutifully examined the cases on all three floors, quietly reveling in the memorabilia of friends and groups that influenced him. He kept the same low-key approach when he took the podium to accept the induction of his group, Gladys Knight and the Pips. Knight explained that the other members of the group, his sister, Gladys, and cousins William Guest and Edward Patten told him to accept the induction "in a dignified way" and to "be intelligent." He did so by talking in hushed tones. "I just want to tell you all that I'm so thrilled and this is such an honor to be here in the hall of fame," he said. But the dignity was short-lived. "I done it like the way they asked me to do," he said. "Now, I'll do it my way." With that, he raised his arms in the air, pranced around the stage and yelled "Thank you so much." The hall's third induction ceremony honored 18 groups, including one that was inducted last year but couldn't make the 2000 ceremony, and two barbershop ensembles, the first to be inducted into the newly opened Barbershop Hall of Fame.

http://www.ffwdweekly.com/Issues/2000/0921/book1.htm

Extractions: by Trevor Klassen Interview with Sharon Butala Things are not what they seem. So goes the lesson offered by best-selling author Sharon Butala. Her latest book, a companion piece to the prize-winning The Perfection of the Morning , is Wild Stone Heart , an account of her personal, mystical experiences in a field she owned with her husband. Butala is not one for cityscapes and concrete. She prefers the silence and solitude of the field to the distracting quick pace of urban living. To her the field was Spirit, was land sacred to First Nations people. In it she found burial grounds, a connection to history and prehistory, and being relatively undisturbed, it was the place she had many visions. It was her link to the mythical. "Land uncentres oneself, and you can concentrate on listening, rather than worrying about the mundane. The land gave me a subject I wouldn't have found on my own – the greater reality of myth," she muses. "I cannot explain with great specificity of my visions. I can't tell you exactly what they mean," she says, her soft, hoarse voice quivering. "But I know what I saw, and I continue to work out its meaning." Butala is now working on her third collection of short stories, and is preparing for several upcoming literary events. She is busy these days, and goes to the field less often than she once did, but it still fulfills her needs.

Extractions: I am currently working on a Masters of Arts at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), learning a new city neighborhood in the big move to Toronto. My other recent projects include working with secondary school students in Hamilton-Wentworth as coordinator of the Young Citizens for a Sustainable Future program and preparation for a summer volunteer experience in Botswana with Canadian Crossroads International. This initiative is directed by a small group of historians, teachers, and naturalists brought together by outdoor recreation coordinator Wayne Terryberry in 1994. The group was interested in celebrating the local, whether it be local history, cultural activities, or natural areas, and to do this actively by getting out and touching the community! Perfection of the Morning: The world is more wonderful than any of us have dared to guess, as all great poets have been telling us since the invention of poetry. To discover these truths, we don't need to scale Mount Everest or white water raft the Colorado or take up skydiving. We need only go for walks.
