A wolf's howl is felt in the body. Frightening and compelling, incomprehensible or entirely knowable, it is a sound that may be heard as threat or invitation but leaves no listener unaffected. Toothsome fiends, interfering pests, or creatures wild and free, wolves have been at the heart of Canada's national story since long before Confederation. Villain, Vermin, Icon, Kin: Wolves and the Making of Canada (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2022) by Dr. Stephanie Rutherford contends that the role in which wolves have been cast - monster or hero - has changed dramatically through time. Exploring the social history of wolves in Canada, Dr. Rutherford weaves an innovative tapestry from the varied threads of historical and contemporary texts, ideas, and practices in human-wolf relations, from provincial bounties to Farley Mowat's iconic Never Cry Wolf. These examples reveal that Canada was made, in part, through relationships with nonhuman animals. Wolves have always captured the human imagination. In sketching out the connections people have had with wolves at different times, Villain, Vermin, Icon, Kin offers a model for more ethical ways of interacting with animals in the face of a global biodiversity crisis. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

As "Toad" in "American Graffiti," Charles Martin Smith took playing the school nerd to new heights. Over 50 years later, the California-born actor-director co-stars opposite Toronto actress Anwen O'Driscoll in "This Time," director Robert Vaughn's very modern road picture now streaming on Super Channel.In between, Smith has acted with a Who's Who of Hollywood, including Burt Reynold ("Fuzz"), David Niven and Don Knotts (Disney's "No Deposit, No Return"), Sean Connery and Kevin Costner ("The Untouchables"), Jeff Bridges ("Starman") and Michael Keaton and Geena Davis ("Speechless"). His TV credits range from episodes of The Brady Bunch, Room 222 and The Streets of San Francisco to LA Law, Northern Exposure and The X-Files. He's worked on more Canadian shows and movies than most Canadians, including "Never Cry Wolf" and Da Vinci's Inquest. His directing credits include "Air Bud" and "The Snow Walker."And then there are the roles that got away, including one he auditioned for -- Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars."Then there are his dad and uncles -- "Golden Age" animation directors for Walter Lantz, Disney and UPA. Smith is a great story teller and man does he share some doozies here.
Well, it was back in '24 when Adam up and sold all his possessions and moved out west to the Rockies to live off the land as a trapper and all around mountain man since he already felt that he had the beard for it. Josh began training to accomplish his lifelong pursuit to fight a bear in a sumo match. As for Jason, well he decided to sail around the world solo in an inflatable kiddie pool. Why'd they do such things? Some say that they were crazy. Others say they was bored. Still, some believe that they were just plumb stupid. Turns out that they were all those things. Plus, they wanted to prepare to talk about movies concerning man vs. nature like Project Grizzly, The Revenant, All Is Lost, Jerimiah Johnson, and Never Cry Wolf. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brickedpit/message
There's an almost mystical longing for the wild expanse that stretches north into the Arctic, with small birch trees, firs and spruces, mazes of unnamed rivers and lakes, and a landscape almost devoid of people. My thirst for that wild probably began with Jack London, Call of the Wild, White Fang and To Build A Fire, and then deepened with writings of Farley Mowat and the film Never Cry Wolf. Wherever it comes from, I just know that my imagination burns brightly when I see those places in my mind or think of those who call it home In this episode, we dig into what it's like to live in The North, where Kielyn and Dave Marrone guide trips for seekers into their wild backyard. Kielyn shares about the labor-intensive process of teaching classes back in 'civilization', the luxury of consistent internet, and the insanely delicious Smoked Salmon Alfredo & Lazy Chicken Pot Pie that she prepares for everyone on a multi-day trek. We get a first-hand view of the process of setting up camp, the camaraderie created in heated tents, and sharing stories of the day's adventures. She also shares how they 'keep it real' for the participants, and why they keep coming back, despite the hard work and rugged conditions. She and her husband are forest educators to the max.

This week we are talking all about the Disney film Never Cry Wolf. First, we talk about what fairytale we would like to see Disney animate. Then we break down why we both felt so betrayed by the plot of this story and why changing details based on a true story can completely alter a story.
In today's episode, we'll meet Rufus Olivier Jr. - the principal bassoonist for the San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Ballet. He joined the symphony in 1977 at only 21 years of age after winning the position for 2nd bassoon. When the Symphony split from the Opera, Rufus auditioned for the Opera and won the principal position. In 1992 he won the principal audition for the Ballet as well. He has recorded many movie, video, CD, and TV soundtracks including Disney's Never Cry Wolf and San Francisco Opera's Grammy-nominated CD Orphée et Eurydice. He was even awarded a Grammy for the soundtrack Elmo in Grouchland. Over several decades, Rufus Olivier Jr. has led a career as a bassoonist very much worthy of uplifting and celebrating. We had an amazing time sitting down with him and getting to know him. He's an exuberant guy, full of laughs, who's certainly mastered the art of the bassoon and “navigating” life one step at a time, day by day.
Along with a few Thanksgiving goodies thrown in, in this episode, The Move Show examines the small handful of distinct films by director Carroll Ballard. In a 30 year career in film making, he only ever made 6. Joel and Ryan review The Black Stallion, Never Cry Wolf, Wind, Fly Away Home, and Duma. Let them know if you have a favorite!
Lupa is a strong advocate for connecting with animal or plant totems as allies to enhance our spiritual life and help us reconnect with nature. They can provide a “bridge” between us and the rest of the natural world. She cautions us to understand that totems, whether they be animal, plants, or fungi, are not simple one-dimensional helpers limited to stereotyped meanings from dictionaries. They are vibrant, intelligent, dynamic beings sharing the world with us as much as anyone else, and while we may have forgotten what it is to be in nature's community, they have not. Lupa is a neo-shaman, artist and sustainability geek. She has been working with animal magic for more than 20 years and has developed a self-created and spirit-directed neoshamanic path. She possesses a master's degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on eco-psychology. Her books include New Paths to Animal Totems: Three Alternative Approaches to Creating Your Own Totemism (Llewellyn 2012), Plant and Fungus Totems: Connect with Spirits of Field, Forest, and Garden (Llewellyn 2014) and Nature Spirituality from the Ground Up: Connect with Totems in Your Ecosystem (Llewellyn 2016) Interview Date: 2/16/2016 Tags: Lupa, ecosystems, watershed, bioregion, totem, totems, hard fascination, soft fascination, totemism, water, rivers, grey wolf, Yellowstone Park, Never Cry Wolf, fungi, plant blindness, The Private Life of Plants, David Attenborough, Bill Mollison, trees, practice of place, practice of action, practice of celebration.

Children, like adults, lie and they can learn to do so from the young age of 2 years old, according to the researchers. In this episode, Jessica Rolph is joined by Dr. Kang Lee, a University of Toronto professor who has been examining lying and what it tells us about human cognition for over two decades. Kang is so dedicated to this field of study, he has convinced some 5,000 children to lie to him! While many parents despair when in the face of these little lies, evidence suggests it is proof that executive functioning skills are developing in a child's brain. Kang says to use these moments as teachable ones, but resist the urge to fall back on the “Never Cry Wolf” story. You'll find out why at the end of this episode! Key Takeaways: [2:37] What is the difference between lying and storytelling? [3:50] How does a child's fantasy world factor into the storytelling? [5:49] How should you respond when you trap your child in a lie? [8:28] Is it a good idea to call our children out on their lies at all? [12:05] How does the situation differ when a child is lying to get their needs met? [15:48] When do children start to use white lies in social settings? [18:10] Are white lies OK? How can we help children differentiate between the various types of lying? [20:04] How do parents encourage truth-telling with a 3-5 year old? [24:21] Jessica shares key takeaways from her honest conversation with Dr. Kang Lee.

When telling people what we need done, how do we strike the balance between being overly prescriptive, and recklessly lax? How can we be sure what we want in the beginning will be what we get at the end? A story I read recently involving a frozen lake, a pack of wolves, and a canoe full of beer can serve as a helpful guide in helping us master the art of delegation.Notes and Resources:Prefer to read? Here's the full post Delegate Better: Three Ways to Get the Results You WantThis example of poor delegation comes from Farley Mowat's book Never Cry Wolf. It is both very amusing, and an eye-opening look at how we can be blinded, often willfully, by our own prejudices. It was also made into a movie, but I don't recommend it.For a deeper look into the possibility that we may have become micromanagers, check out Micromanagement: 7 Signs You're a Micromanager and What to Do About ItThis post on Set and Forget Leadership in another take on delegation and how to avoid getting burned when handing off a task to someone else. Quotable: “Getting better at delegation means putting more energy into the start of the process.” - Ken Downer“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” - General George S. Patton“Leaders strive to unlock the potential contained between other people's ears.” - Ken DownerRelated posts: How To Delegate, Part 1: Why?Delegation, Part 2: What to Delegate?Delegation, Part 3: Who, How to Delegate?
Synopsis Handel is the composer credited with “inventing” the organ concerto back in the 18th century. Handel was a virtuoso performer on the organ, and, as a special added attraction during the London performances of some of his oratorios, one of Handel's concertos would be featured as a kind of intermission feature. This served to showcase Handel's skill as an organist – and perhaps to give his singers a chance to catch their breath between sections of the full-length oratorio. Since then, a number of composers have added to the organ concerto repertory started by Handel. On today's date in 1990, on a CBC radio broadcast from the Calgary Organ Festival Competition, a brand-new organ concerto by the American composer Michael Colgrass had its premiere performance. Colgrass' concerto was entitled “Snow Walker,” and is cast as an impressionistic musical picture of the Far North and the fortitude, humor, and spirituality of Canada's native Inuit peoples. The work is dedicated to Farley Mowat, the author of a true-life story of life in the Far North, “Never Cry Wolf,” familiar from a popular Disney movie. The Colgrass concerto provides musical evocations of a polar landscape, Inuit throat singing, and a rambunctious dance-finale.

Jim and Jamie Dutcher: Living With Wolves – Six Years With The Sawtooth Pack Today's Guest Jim and Jamie Dutcher I'm so excited to introduce to you today's guests, Jim and Jamie Dutcher – cinematographers and wolf behavioral experts who spent 6 years living in the wild amongst a wolf pack to study their behavior.

Jim and Jamie Dutcher have played an incredible role in getting rid of negative stereotypes associated with wolves and have brought to light just how gentle, shy, and family-oriented they truly are. Throughout our talk, they share incredible stories about their time with the wolves and also shed light into the true temperaments, behaviors, and personalities that these beautiful beings embody. If you're curious about the real truth behind the lives of wolves, this is a podcast you don't want to miss!

EPISODE 132 - CARROLL BALLARD - Director Team Deakins has the pleasure of speaking with director Carroll Ballard (WIND, THE BLACK STALLION, NEVER CRY WOLF, DUMA). We learn how he got involved in the project that became the film, Black Stallion, how he worked with cinematographer, Caleb Deschanel. We also discuss the particular challenges of that film. Carroll talks about the difficulties of working with animals and children as well as working with wolves and caribous in Never Cry Wolf, geese in Fly Away Home, and cheetahs in Duma. We also learn about how he met the extreme challenges of shooting the film Wind. We learned a lot in this episode!
In this episode I want to talk about how, as humans we have the tendency to destroy things that are in the way of what we view as “progress”. First I want to talk about this from a historical perspective and then give you a more modern example of how we continue to do the same thing. We still have not learned and we still do not appreciate that it is the balance in nature that provides us with all of the things we need to survive. When I first purchased my cabin property in 1996, I truly lived in the middle of wild country. In many respects I still do . I had numerous up close and personal encounters with some fairly aggressive animals. Yet the whole time this was happening, I did everything possible to learn to live with the many creatures I encountered. But the simply fact is that most of humanity simply does not feel the same way.Just recently the governor of Idaho signed a bill into law that way well result in the killing of most of the wolves in Idaho. Obviously, we have not learned anything. Learn about why maintaining the delicate balance in nature is so important to our planet and a sustainable future. Always live sustainably because this is how we build a better future. Patrick
We're all animal lovers on this show, but none of us read a lot of books about animals.

Originally broadcast in 2012, here is a classic interview from our 'Barchives' with renowned illustrator, the late David Grove (1940 - 2012). Grove hit the scene in the early 1970s, bringing his illustration to paperback book covers and advertising. His singular style quickly became highly influential and sought after in the industry. In the early 1980s, Hollywood beckoned Grove and he produced memorable posters and artwork for a slew of films such as ’Never Cry Wolf’, ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’ and ’The Outsiders’. Grove was inducted into the Society of Illustrators’ Hall of Fame in 2007. This episode continues our re-presentation of classic interviews and roundtables from our previous incarnation as SiDEBAR: The Pop Culture Podcast into our podcast feed. We hope that our listeners, both new and old, will enjoy these vintage back episodes and follow us here for new episodes of Sidebar Forever!
One of my favorite films that few people have heard of is this achingly beautiful story about a man who studies wolves in the arctic. The themes are complex, the actors are brilliant, and the film is unique in its depiction of man and nature. While this movie is based on the book that is based on a true story by Farley Mowat, how true is that true story? How do you grade a movie when the true story it is based on is less than truthful? Who determines what a natural resource is? Why doesn't John like this movie and why do he and Dawn have an aversion to nature?

Preface and Chapter 1
Introduction What should be the strategic goal that we want to achieve in educating our youth? Try this one on: The best pre K-12 education with the most efficient use of taxpayer dollars. And those dollars should go equally and freely to homeschooling as well as traditional public schools, charter schools and private schools. That’s what Revolution 2.0™ desires. What do you want? Today’s Key Point: Home schools, charter and private schools, all make public schools stronger. That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode. Continuing My eldest son, when I was talking to him about how many of us have by necessity joined the homeschooling crowd, said that he was very recently admonished for having used the term “homeschooling.” The person correcting him said that since not everyone has a home, the proper term is “online education.” Forgetting the obvious, that if you don’t have a home it is unlikely that you can get online, homeschooling is a very appropriate term: it is schooling that is done at home. And by definition it is the option with the most parental input of the four schooling choices. Parental involvement in a child’s education is critical; there is no substitute for it. And parental involvement is much misunderstood and sadly underestimated as an influencer in a student’s educational--and life--success or failure. Parents must be involved not only in checking homework and going to teacher conferences, but in the selection of how taxpayer dollars are allocated to their children’s education in the first place. Repeating Today’s Key Point: Home schools, charter and private schools, all make public schools stronger. “The caribou feeds the wolf, but it is the wolf who keeps the caribou strong.” Keewations (Inuit) proverb. One of the signature environmental books of the 70’s was “Never Cry Wolf” by Farley Mowat (how’s that for a name?). A wonderful book with many intriguing, fun, and memorable anecdotes, with the core message being that wolves had been getting a bad rap. Until the publication of Mowat’s book, wolves were broadly seen as dangerous predators, with few--if any--redeeming characteristics, ignoring that they were a necessary part of the overall ecosystem. In his view-changing book, Mr. Mowat provides convincing proof that wolf packs make the caribou herds stronger. A truth that the Inuit had known for generations. How could that be? Don’t wolves prey on caribou? Indeed they do, but Mowat proved that the wolves attacked and killed only the weak, diseased and injured caribou, leaving only the strong. In addition to examining what the wolves had eaten, he observed that even the healthiest wolf had a near impossible time felling a healthy caribou. This limitation caused the wolf to make the herds stronger by eliminating the weak. The weak were no longer available to reproduce and compete for scarce food, leaving the strong to eat and reproduce. So, how do wolves and caribou relate to public schools? In the same way, charter schools, home schools and private schools make public schools stronger. No sane parent would choose a charter school or take advantage of a private or homeschool voucher if the local school was strong, and producing good results for its students. They would opt out only from weak schools. And unlike the caribou, weak schools get a second chance. If parents start opting for other choices in significant numbers, the troubled school, public, private or otherwise, has time to improve and strengthen. Unlike a dead caribou. And if the school cannot or will not improve sufficiently, it will close and improve the overall quality of the herd. If this happens repeatedly and over time, there might be fewer public schools. But the remaining will be stronger. Even more importantly, the “herd”, public schools, private, home and charters, all serving the students, parents and the community, will be stronger. Vouchers are another type of helpful wolf.
Walt Lloyd happened upon John Boorman's crew shooting Deliverance in Georgia and decided he wanted a job in the movie business. His first big break was as a camera assistant on the 1983 film Never Cry Wolf, directed by Carroll Ballard. One of Walt's earliest films as director of photography was on sex, lies and videotape for first-time feature filmmaker Steven Soderbergh. Host Ben Rock and Walt Lloyd also have a personal connection- Walt was the DP for Ben's feature film, Alien Raiders.

From the corpses in the backgrounds of The Black Cauldron to Charles Martin Smith's D in Never Cry Wolf, the Disney movies of the 1980s have given us some strange and precious gifts. But perhaps none moreso than this week's film, MIDNIGHT MADNESS. Featuring a cast of dozens of some unknown but some very familiar faces, more hijinks than you can count, and a shrill disco theme song, there is no movie Vicky, Nolan and Jill have watched to date that better embodies the sheer aimlessness of Disney in the 80s as this one. Much to our hosts' collective delight.
On my writing desk sits a plant I named Emerson. He’s just a little guy not even a foot tall, including his pot. He’s a Pachira aquatica, also known as the money tree, Guiana chestnut, or saba nut. Emerson comes from Miami, Florida, a place much warmer than where he now lives. The two things I love most about him, (not trying to be sexist here, he could be a her, except I named him Emerson), is that, first of all, he has four miniature trunks that have started to be molded into a beautiful braid, ending in beautiful green lanceolate leaves that grow in clusters of 3 to 5 leaves per stem. The second thing I love is that due to the fact that he is a tropical tree thriving in wetlands and swamps, he is virtually kill-proof – pretty much immune to over watering. These dudes love water so, if you’re like me, you don't have to worry about any over watering disorders you may have, due to the fact that you underwatered all the plants you tried to grow in the first half of your life. The reason he sits on my desk is that he has a job; and that is to inspire me and help give me a “Nature Fix”. Especially on days like today when it’s literally 12 degrees outside and my dogs look at me like I suggested they jump off the deck of the Titanic when I open the door and ask them if they want to go for a walk. Emerson sits on my desk next to the books that I am currently enjoying, and he doesn’t seem to mind when I touch his leaves whenever I have the impulse or need to get a little nature-fix. We all need Nature. It’s just that some of us feel the need more urgently than others. If you are looking for a way to feel close to nature in the dead of winter, you might consider buying a few indoor plants and studying and learning more about them. (A favorite hobby of mine is growing and killing bonsai trees. Not that I particularly enjoy killing them, or purposely try to neglect them – in fact I love them and think that they are so inspiring and beautiful. It just seems that as a collective, most bonsais are really particular about their owners, and would rather commit suicide than put up with an ignorant and irregular watering schedule. Still, I do have a particularly good relationship with a large Juniper named Mr. Miaggi that has seemed pretty happy in our household for the past couple of years. So I haven’t completely given up hope yet for my life as a bonsai caretaker!) Here are a few other ideas for getting your “Nature-fix” on a cold winter’s day – Taking a trip to your local library, Barnes & Noble, or other cool bookstore and hanging out in the Nature section. If you have a good collection already, you might try studying a field guide or reading a great nature book or novel set in nature. (A few examples include – “The Nature Fix” by Florence Williams, “The Nature Principle” by Richard Louv, any book by Annie Dillard such as “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek”, and of course Henry David Thoreau’s brilliant contribution, “Walden”. Right now my wife and I are enjoying “The Dog Master” by Bruce Cameron, (the same guy who wrote “The Dog’s Purpose”. It takes you back in time to the first relationship between wolf and man, and how it evolved into the relationship we now enjoy with our canine companions. It’s a pretty coo read. You could get your fix by studying hiking trails and travel maps you plan on doing or exploring in the next year. Melissa and I set aside sometime yesterday to just get away to a coffee shop and plan our hikes, travels, nature adventures, and 14ers we plan on climbing this year. It’s a great way to set an intention and have something to look forward to at the same time. Try revisiting your old nature journals, or sketching in a new one. This can have a calm relaxing effect on your spirit as it takes you on a virtual journey into the natural world. Watching inspiring movies set in nature such as “A River Runs Through It”, “Dances With Wolves”, “The Call of the Wild”, “Never Cry Wolf”, “Into the Wild” and “Fly Away Home” just to name a few of our favorites. Create your own Nature Zen Den filled with natural inspirations such as a Zen Garden, a beautiful water fountain, wind chimes and nature sounds, plants, Nature pictures and artwork, as well as pine-scented candles and lavender oils, patchouli incense, and so on. The key is to try to appeal to all the senses for the full Nature effect, which is so good for relieving stress and creating feelings of well-being. These are just a few suggestions for helping you get you Nature fix on days when you can’t get outdoors. Try being creative and come up with some ideas of your own. You’ll find it’s well worth the effort! No go get your "Nature Fix" for the day!

Nathan Cone joins us to discuss what the heck was going on at Disney in the 1970's and 80's that led to "The Black Hole", "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and "Never Cry Wolf". It's a fun ride full of Disney history and rife with 80's-ness!
Let's be honest, D-Lovers, Disney hasn't had the best track record when it comes to movies that tread the line between fictional film and nature documentary. As it turns out, however, all it really took to pull one such feature off was a director with a vision, an actor with the gumption to pretend to eat dozens of mice, and what must have been an inhuman tolerance for shooting outdoors in the arctic for more than two years. NEVER CRY WOLF is insane on paper, and maybe a little insane on screen, but it's all part of what drew Vicky, Nolan and Jill into this story of survival. These diamonds in the rough are few and far between when it comes to 1980s Disney, but this is one of the brightest we've watched yet.
During this episode we talk to Filmmaker Carroll Ballard. Mr. Ballard’s credits include the films Never Cry Wolf, Fly Away Home, and the upcoming Movies @ Main feature The Black Stallion. Ballard discusses making The Black Stallion, his role in the making of Star Wars: Episode IV, and working with legendary Illustrator and Author Maurice Sendak. Join us at the Main Library for a free screening of The Black Stallion on Saturday January 13, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. in the first floor auditorium.

In the same way, charter schools and vouchers will make public schools stronger. No sane parent would choose a charter school or take advantage of a voucher if the local school was strong, producing good results with its students. They would opt out only from weak schools. And unlike the caribou, weak schools get a second chance. If parents start opting for other choices in significant numbers, the troubled school has time to improve and strengthen. Unlike a dead caribou. And if the school cannot or will not improve sufficiently, it will close and improve the overall quality of the herd. If this happens repeatedly and over time, there might be fewer public schools. But the remaining will be stronger. Even more importantly, the “herd”, public schools and charters, both serving the students, parents and the community, will be stronger. Vouchers are another type of helpful wolf. Charters provide one type of strengthening competition; vouchers another. Vouchers make public schools stronger in a similar, but importantly different way. Charter schools require exactly that, a charter from public school authorities (or other public agencies) to start and to continue operating. Schools where a parent could take a voucher already have the right to operate, and can operate with far less oversight than charters. Vouchers could be used in a broad variety of schools, likely more schools with more types of choices than local charters. Obviously this further expands the choices available to parents and students. And more competition to make the herd stronger. Speaking of variety, I would support the use of vouchers for faith-based schools. My stand is that faith-based schools, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc., are no more a violation of the separation of church and state than what is happening in many public schools today; espousing secular progressivism, humanism and/or deism. Or even atheism, which is often proselytized with an enthusiasm and passion which would be the envy of many a believer. Students presenting vouchers to a faith-based school would be allowed to opt out of any religious classes. And just how do students in any type of school opt out of classes where teachers insert their convictions (in classes where the published syllabus has nothing to do with religion, pro or con, whether the teacher’s stand be faith-based in the customary sense, or grounded in their faith that there is nothing to have faith in)? Let’s walk across the hall, from where the class on how competition makes worthy competitors stronger and eliminates the weak who can’t or won’t get stronger, and audit the accounting class.
