If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the sweat lodge | Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk

https://flightriskblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/if-you-cant-stand-the-heat-get-out-of-the-sweat-lodge

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the sweat lodge. March 31, 2014. We pray for the women, for the grandmothers, for the mothers, for the four-legged, the two-legged, the winged ones, the ones that crawl, the ones that swim. It’s a small space for this many people and I’m pressed against the woman on my right and my friend on my left. We start the ceremony by taking medicine- bear root. It’s chalky in my mouth, a bit like licking dry grass. It starts to get warm. I’m fe...

Got any ideas? | Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk

https://flightriskblog.wordpress.com/2014/02/25/got-any-ideas

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. February 25, 2014. The dreaded story idea. Got any? Journalists need ideas, ideas, ideas every. single. day. If you have one, does it hold up? Flesh it out. Is it newsworthy? Who does it affect? Who can you talk to? The dreaded story idea. Got any? I do, now. This past year has been a struggle with story ideas. How do you come up with them? How do you know to cover something before it’s already in the news? How do you know it’s a story? Who do you interview? How do you find them?

Wisdom? from an almost-grad | Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk

https://flightriskblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/wisdom-from-an-almost-grad

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. April 8, 2014. I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. In a few weeks I will be done school but that doesn’t mean I’ll be done learning. School taught me a ton. Life has taught me more. Always keep eyeliner and tinted lip balm in your purse. No matter what made you fall apart these two things will help you look put together. If you have an idea write it down or else it may float away. On that note, you should probably always have a notepad and a pen in your purse. Enter y...

A tribute to a great man | Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk

https://flightriskblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/a-tribute-to-a-great-man

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. A tribute to a great man. March 3, 2014. Duncan McMonagle is retiring. This is the end of an era. For 18 years this man has taught Creative Communications students. Duncan has a distinct style. There are teachers that pass out notes. There are teachers who lecture. There are teachers with books, teachers with exercises, and teachers with slideshows. And then there is Duncan. 8220;Get out of town.”. Duncan is an amazing teacher. I have no doubt he will be sorely missed in Cre...

7 Generations | Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk

https://flightriskblog.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/7-generations

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. February 11, 2014. Is a story of a Plains Cree family. It’s a graphic novel and I’ve never seen anything like it. I never read comic books as a kid. I’ve never gotten into anime or other graphic novels. But I really enjoyed. And that means there’s still a lot of healing to be done. One of the ways Robertson is healing is writing graphic novels about what happened. He’s trying to educate, to share the stories and using a creative medium to do it. Winnipeg’s Great War. It just mak...

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. Newer posts →. Sports reporting for the chick that’s never played. February 3, 2014. Growing up I danced. I was a hard-core rhythmic gymnast (you may laugh saying there is no such thing but until you have had some one sit on you while you’re stretching your middle splits you can’t talk). Now I am an aerialist. And I am glad I did. I’ve had a great time sports reporting and I appreciate sports much more now. Here are a couple things I’ve learned:. 3) Don’t get caught up in ...

I threw a little party | Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk

https://flightriskblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/i-threw-a-little-party

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. I threw a little party. March 6, 2014. Video by Braiden Watling Productions. So I threw a little party. But it was kind of a big deal. For the past year I’ve been working on Circus for Circus, and event to raise money for the Circus and Magic Partnership. So I threw a little party to raise money for C.amP. It’s a cool, necessary program and non-for-profits always need funding. So I threw a little party, and I loved every minute that I had to work at it. A tribute to a great man.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet | Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk

https://flightriskblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/a-rose-by-any-other-name-would-smell-as-sweet

Sara Shyiak: Flight Risk. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. March 24, 2014. Mountains near Kathmandu, Nepal. Zeus Shiva. Allah. Yahweh. Mars. God. What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. And so what I call a rose the Italians may call a rosa and the Japanese may call a rōzu. And in all the languages and in all the cultures a rose is just a rose- a beautiful flower that smells very sweet. How can that be true? 8220;Let me explain why I use the word. I have nothing aga...
