Lo ca l AUT H O RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

ROLLI

Short stories: Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat Hardly a week goes by without some friendly stranger shuffling up to me and asking, “Rolli, where on Earth do you get your ideas?” Well, the answer is surprisingly simple....

From an early age, I loved books.

I loved reading. And before I could read, like all children, I loved being read to. The more stories I absorbed, the more ideas, the more I wanted to come up with ideas of my own.

Creativity, for me, has always begun with stories — and luckily ended with stories, too!

Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat — a collection of 18 whimsical children’s stories — is my third book, my first for children, and one of the very first to be published under knowonder! magazine’s new book imprint.

The stories are by and large of the laugh-out-loud variety, and full of surprises.

There’s a story about a nanny who feeds sweet children — to tigers. There’s one about the greatest battle in history — between vacuum cleaners. And there’s even a plain, ordinary one about a girl who wakes up and decides to climb a tree — forever. Everyone’s favourite story, it seems, is the one called “Handsome and Pretzel.” But there’s no way on Earth to describe that one. You’ll just have to read it.

Reviews of Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat have, so far, been excellent. It was selected as one of only three “Highly Recommended” middle grade titles for the winter season by

Regina author Rolli

ForeWord Reviews, who said it was “destined to resonate with kids who love science and clever storytelling

techniques, and who need reassurance that it’s OK (preferable even!) to be a little strange.” But it’s honestly more important to me that you find the book excellent as well. After all, I wrote these stories just for you.

Dr. Franklin’s Staticy Cat is available at Chapters, The Artful Dodger in Regina, Amazon, the publisher’s website (www.knowonder.com) and the Rolli Shop (www.rollistuff.com).

If you do buy the book, though, I hope you keep a few things in mind.

Only nasty people fold over corners, or scribble in the margins. Only dirty rascals take a book to the dinner table, and fill it with crumbs.

Only the worst sorts of people read in the bathtub. Prisons are filled with them.

Hyde Park View: Contemporary style accommodates residents’ present and future needs yde Park View is transforming the concept of ‘adult housing’ in Saskatoon!

Located at 333 Slimmon Place, in the Lakewood Suburban Centre (just north of Rosewood), Hyde Park View combines contemporary style with superb amenities and age-in-place design.

The 4.5-storey residence offers 140 suites; 100 are life lease units. Remaining units are comprised of 15 affordablee rental apartments and 25 personal care suites.

What is a ‘life lease’ ou unit? “With a ‘life lease’, yyo you see own the lease. You purchase tee the right to occupy that suite re ablee ttoo abl for as long as you live or are d P h function independently. H Hyde Parkk Vi View owns the building and the property,” says Elim Lodge executive director Greg Foley.

“There are advantages to life leasing as people age. You don’t have to worry about the security of your investment. Whatever the price of your unit, you promptly receive that back when you end your lease.

Unlike owning a condo, there will never be a surprise bill to fix the roof or the boiler. A life lease is peace of mind.”

Life lease suites range in size from 821 to 1297 squ q square feet, including one bedroom-plus-den and tw two o two-bedroom units. Every two-bedroom suite has two w bathrooms. Life lease suites are priced starting at $25 $2 5 $256,000.

“Our goal is to provide affordable housing for ppeople peo eeo 50 and over. That’s why we have intentionally ppri ric our suites just a little bit below market price,” priced say says Foley.

Life lease units are now pre-selling at Hyde Park V Vie View. Construction will commence this summer with ooccupancy beginning in 2016. Drop by Elim Lodge to oc occ ppic c up a sales package. The Rental apartment waiting pick lis isst will begin accepting applications in May 2015. ist list The innovative residence was designed by Sas Sa S a Saskatoon architect Charles Olfert of AODBT Ar Arc Architecture and Interior Design. Olfert employed ext xt extensive use of architectural glass in the building’s m mo o modern design. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture the stun stu n stunning views of neighbouring Hyde Park, with its 23 acres of lakes, parkland and walking trails.

Olfert has designed a breathtaking 6-foot wide FreshView Window which will function like an indoor balcony, opening the top portion of the floor-to-ceiling window to the outdoors. Many suites will have balconies with glass panel railings. All of the ‘must-haves’ of today’s condo market are offered at Hyde Park View, including open concept floor plans, nine-foot ceilings and kitchens with large islands, quartz countertops and a full stainless steel appliance package. Master suites have walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms.

“People will have a choice of colours in their cabinetry, countertops and flooring,” says Foley.

Standard flooring options include luxury vinyl and carpet, with the option to upgrade to hardwood.

Ceramic tile is standard in all en suite bathrooms. Olfert says, “The mechanical systems are at a higher standard than many condos with radiant in-floor heat throughout and central air systems with integrated cooling for each unit.”

Residents will enjoy the use of attractive amenity spaces, including the hotel-style lobby, meeting room, exercise room, library, pool table, workshop, mini theatre, hair salon and a large shared patio with BBQ space. Every life lease suite receives one parking stall in the ground-level heated parkade, along with individual drywalled storage rooms. Getting in early allows you to choose a parking space steps away from one of three elevators, located in different areas of the building.

Hyde Park View’s inviting dining room will be a popular gathering spot. A Red Seal chef will preside over the delicious meals created in the large commercial kitchen. Every life lease resident will receive eight meal tickets per month to be enjoyed in the dining room with their neighbours, family or friends. Residents can also purchase additional meal tickets.

Hyde Park View will offer 25 personal care units, in addition to life lease suites. “The rationale for including the personal care units — sometimes called intermediate care — in a life lease and rental building is based on our experience here at Elim Lodge,” says Foley.

Elim Lodge, located at 1123 Moss Avenue in Wildwood, is an independent living facility with 12 assisted living suites. “When a person’s health declines and they need to make that step towards personal care, it’s one of the most traumatic shifts in their life,” says Foley.

“We wanted to design Hyde Park View to be an age-in-place building. When people move in, they’ll be younger and independent. As they grow older, they’ll be able to purchase the kind of services they need to assist them in their suite. When they can no lon nger ge fu funct n ion nct i n in indep deppendde longer function independently, they can move to a spec sspecially pecial pec ia llyy des ial design de igned ign ed are ea iin the same building that designed area willl pprovide wil rovide rov id th ide tthe he 224-hour, 4-hoou 4-h ou personal care that they nneed. nee d Tha d.

We offer some of the most attractive prices in the city, especially when you consider the unusually high level of service we provide to residents—even to changing the light bulbs.

I love doing that kind of stuff — where it’s just weird and crazy and not necessarily sellable.

— Laurie Brown

Brown’s theatrical style delights fashion industry

Laurie Brown works on designs for her finale runway show at Saskatchewan Fashion Week in her studio. The show was the most daring yet in her career as a fashion designer. Bridges photo by Michelle Berg

By Jenn Sharp It’s the final night at Saskatchewan Fashion Week in Regina. The soldout crowd leaps to its feet. Laurie Brown breathes a sigh of relief. She has just pulled off her most daring show ever.

“Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew but then I have to make it

work,” Brown grins.

Last year at the same event, she made a dress that bled ink. The model had a container of liquid strapped to her leg. As the white dress slowly transformed with expanding blue spots, the audience roared with appreciation.

This year, Brown joined the action. She changed the models’ out-

fits on stage — a neck choker on one became a belt on another. A model’s oversized jacket was stealthily moved down her hips and, with a few strategically placed zippers, turned into pants.

On his blog www.immrfabulous. com, Calgary-based fashion writer immrfabulous called it “genius and creative design which was flawless.”

The idea was inspired by Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf who had a model walk out wearing a large coat on a rotating stage. The two designers took off a layer each time she walked by and put it on the next model. Eventually, the first model was wearing almost nothing. Then, new models came out wearing those layers. The designers used them to

dress the original model again.

“They have amazing shows,” says Brown. “That one is one of my favourites. I want to keep bringing that kind of stuff to people.”

She knows not everyone is fully engaged at a fashion show.

“I want to catch the attention of the least interested person in the room and have everyone enjoy it.”

Her validation after the fashion week finale came when strangers said her show gave them goose bumps.

“That is why I did it. That’s all I wanted to hear. That’s all I wanted to do. It was so gratifying then.”

■

■ ■ ■

Backstage, tensions run high as designers scramble to get the outfits looking just right on their models before the 30-second walk down the

runway. It’s all about first impressions. Once the event begins, each designer’s show moves quickly.

Models come off the runway and rush to their spot where a dresser helps them strip down and hop into the next garment. Hair and makeup people are on hand for last-minute touch-ups — a spritz of hairspray here and a swipe of blush there.

Behind the glitz and glamour of

the runway, Brown’s life is more conventional than those applauding fans would imagine. By day, she works as a server at Earls. She’s also a nanny for a friend. The social interaction of the restaurant helps Brown find balance. She loves talking to her customers, a few of whom have come to her shows, and working with the staff.

“They make me so happy. They’re so goofy. You can never be in a bad mood there.”

Brown was born in Flin Flon,

Man., 28 years ago. When she was six, Brown’s mother left the family.

Her father Harold, a mining engineer, raised her and her brother Ian, 31.

“I was so young. I didn’t know any different,” she says.

One night, she heard a radio announcer talking about broken homes. She asked her dad what that was and was surprised to hear she came from one.

“I didn’t miss anything. He raised us just as whole as any other family

would. I wouldn’t have changed anything. It was perfect.”

While she’s only met her mom once, (she moved to Ontario) Brown is close to her mom’s family. She was also close to her babysitter Florence Walaker, a “mother figure,” who taught her how to sew. But Brown wasn’t really interested in sewing or clothing as a youth.

“I was more interested in the notions — the zippers, the pins and scissors — the crafty kind of stuff.”

I want to catch the attention of the least interested person in the room and have everyone enjoy it.

— Brown

It wasn’t hard to know what to buy her for Christmas — anything she could build or create.

She loved building forts, too.

All those crafting skills have transferred well to the work she does under her fashion label Laurie Brown. Her clothes are made to make a woman feel sexy. Many of her designs hug the body like a second skin, and always make use of the most cutting-edge textiles.

Slouchy pants, patterns and cut-outs ruled her 2013 collection.

Vinyl and tulle play a large part for fall, 2014. Pieces like a black mesh dress with lace accents and garter belts or a hip-hugging skirt are even a little see-through.

Some of her favourite projects are over-the-top couture, usually done for photo shoots with other artists. These are not sold to the public. That’s when she can re-

ally unleash her creative side.

For one called Black and Gold, she created a bodice from vinyl records, held together by nuts and bolts.

“I love doing that kind of stuff — where it’s just weird and crazy and not necessarily sellable.”

Laurie Brown does a final run through of the wardrobe change she will be doing on stage with her models at Saskatchewan Fashion Week in Regina.

Despite the pressure, everyone likes to have fun backstage. As Brown is being interviewed on camera, she fights to keep from bursting out laughing. The reason becomes obvious when the camera stops and she reaches out to smack a model’s butt — which she’s been waving around at Brown the whole time. Designers chose their models for SFW at a call in April. She needed girls who were confident, ones who wouldn’t get easily intimidated.

I realized that it was really natural and really easy and I was really enjoying it ... that’s when I actually got interested in fashion. — Brown

■ ■ ■ ■ Brown moved to Saskatoon in 2004. Two years later, while working at Fabricland, she decided to attend the fashion arts program at Toronto’s Seneca College.

“I realized that it was really natural and really easy and I was really enjoying it ... that’s when I actually got interested in fashion.”

Brown was awarded Student of the Year at Seneca for her collection of motorized dresses, kicking off the theatrics she likes to feature in her shows today.

She was set to work in Toronto after school in the fall. She returned to Saskatoon for a summer job, a move that reignited her love for the Bridge City where she has been ever since.

“When I was here, I missed it so much. I just couldn’t be away from this place,” she laughs.

Laurie Brown designs are sold in a retail location in Saskatoon. Brown regularly gets top billing at fashion shows. In Toronto, her fashion label would have been just one of thousands competing for business. Collaborating with Saskatchewan’s small pool of designers has worked in her favour.

“People are really honest and (willing to) help. For the most part, no one is malicious toward one another or trying to steal business.

I’m sure it would be slightly different in Toronto. I don’t think I would be as far as I am now if I’d stayed there.”

There’s no boasting or bravado with Brown.

What you see is what you get, which is refreshingly authentic.

She’s curled up on a big chair in the corner of her dad’s living room. He moved to Saskatoon a few years ago and her studio is in the basement of his Willowgrove home. Brown wears a comfy uniform of black — slouchy toque, sweater and pants. Only two days after the whirlwind of fashion week, where she not only showed but judged the emerging designers each night, she still looks put-together.

Networking has helped advance her career.

When Brown moved back to Saskatoon, The StarPhoenix ran an article about her. Jacqueline Conway, a co-founder of the Saskatoon Fashion and Design Festival, saw it and invited Brown to lunch with Rebecca King, an established Saskatoon designer who helped coordinate the festival.

“She has been a strong voice for all the designers involved in our events by providing feedback for us to improve the experience for designers, models and spectators,” says Conway, who adds that Brown has contributed countless volunteer hours to organizing the festival.

Brown and King became friends. King says Brown has translated her creative theatrical

That was one of the first things I noticed about her that set her apart.”

We are not New York or even Toronto, in the sense that we’re not up to date with the most popular, most current trends. You want to make sure you’re pleasing everyone while keeping them looking really good and really trendy at the same time. — Brown

■

■

■ ■

After waiting all night, it’s almost time for Laurie Brown’s fashions to hit the runway. Models practise different walking styles to find the one that best suits Brown’s clothing. An impromptu dance breaks out, and Brown gladly joins in. She’s nervous but keeps smiling. A model later confides that Brown is her favourite designer to work with because she’s personable and treats them all like human beings.

■

■

■ ■

Before she begins the design process, Brown researches silhouettes and colour trends. But she doesn’t want to be influenced too much by what others are doing. She also keeps her Saskatoon customers in mind.

“We are not New York or even Toronto, in the sense that we’re not up to date with the most popular, most current trends. You want to make sure you’re pleasing everyone while keeping them looking really good and really trendy at the same time.”

She considers what’s happening in the industry, absorbs the trends, then steps back to make her own designs.

Touching the fabric and seeing how it falls ignites her imagination.

“Whatever I naturally absorb from it is what I go in to after that. For me, it’s always about fabric.”

The life of a designer can be surprisingly lonely. Brown does her design work at night, a can of Red Bull and large Timmy’s always close at hand. She never used to let anyone watch her sew, and even now she always sketches in private.

“Sometimes you feel like you can’t really let loose until you know no one is looking. At nighttime you know you’re not going to be bothered.”

Conway says Brown influences Saskatoon’s fashion scene by “pushing the envelope” through her unique collections.

“Her perspective is visionary and inspiring for our design community.”

After a few years away, King is happy to return to Saskatoon and says people’s style is evolving, thanks in part to an influx of new restaurants, boutiques and cafés.

WORD ASSOCIATION WITH LAURIE BROWN LEATHER: Dean Renwick’s cupcake skirt (leather with cut-out pattern). It took his staff one to two days to hand-cut and Brown was excited she was able to do it in an evening.

BLACK: Sleek. “I use black all the time. It’s a basic, a staple.”

STYLE: In style. “I’m not a huge trend follower so it

makes me think of making fashion your own — a stylish person and not necessarily who they’re wearing.

LACE: “The lace cocktail dresses I did a couple of seasons ago. We appliqued lace on the models’ faces too.”

VINYL: Structure, like the necklaces on the models at SFW show. “I’ve always wanted to do a cool

bodysuit with seams on it.”

DESIGNER: Victor and Rolf, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan. “Anyone dramatic and over-thetop that gives you something to look at.”

CROCS: “They should never be worn — they’re not suitable to everyday life. I will admit, I worked at a dollar store and wore them there.”

Janis Procyk:

Practical in person, royal on the runway

By Ashley Martin Unlike a fairy-tale princess, Janis Procyk never dreamed of being where she is today.

Growing up, the idea of becoming a fashion designer with a burgeoning career seemed impossible.

In Fillmore, population 250-or-so, she was exposed to typical professions — accounting, policing. But a career in fashion, like the designers she saw on Project Runway?

“That seems so wild and crazy, there’s no way there’s a job for that,” said Procyk, who showcased her inaugural collection at Saskatchewan Fashion Week (SFW) this month.

After high school, she moved to Lethbridge to pursue a business management degree.

She started working in event management.

She was uninspired.

Then three years ago, a cousin her age died in a car accident.

“That was kind of the kick. Life is so short to be miserable, you just need to live every moment to the fullest,” said Procyk, 24.

She moved to Vancouver to study fashion at the Blanche Macdonald Centre.

She’d always liked fashion and would sew the odd thing; her grandmothers had taught her the basics.

At school, “Everything made sense and I’d pick things up right away.”

But last fall, finished her fashion design diploma, Procyk still wasn’t sold.

When she returned to Saskatchewan, she met with local designer Dean Renwick to gauge the industry.

She started working with him in January.

It was Renwick who encouraged her to apply to SFW. With 40 illustrations to choose from and fabric sourced, Procyk was “on turbo mode” since February to complete her collection for Prahsik Designs.

She didn’t expect to win the SFW emerging designer award — she was watching Laurie Brown’s show when she was called backstage with the other designers.

While texting her sister, she heard her name announced and she was shocked.

“I cried on stage,” she says, embarrassed.

“All of a sudden it hits you with a wave, I have been working so hard on this for so long ... I’m so honoured and so excited.”

She’s only beginning.

Procyk is filling orders for her fall/winter line, creating a spring/summer collection, and designing custom pieces for clients.

And she’s still working with Renwick as a pattern-maker.

“It’s interesting to be working on pieces that I wouldn’t normally make for myself,” said Procyk of Renwick’s more mature designs. That said, “We both do a lot of tailored looks.”

THE EVIL QUEEN

Bridges Photos by BRYAN SCHLOSSER

Procyk’s fall collection is made up of eight looks inspired by the fairy-tale evil queen.

“I wanted the label to represent a sophisticated, powerful woman,” said Procyk.

“I always had a soft spot for the queen. Everyone views her as being this villain, but she’s a powerful, successful, confident woman that like, ‘Have at ’er.’ ” She got the idea while trend forecasting for a school project last year. The abundance of black lace hooked her: “It’s pretty but it also can be very raw.”

FASHION “I’m pretty simple. I usually go for comfort,” said Procyk of her own wardrobe. “Comfortable shoes, jeans a lot of the time, loose shirts, stuff that I can move in.”

Function is key for Procyk. “Any piece that I wear, you can dress up, you can dress down. I’m all about function for things.”

She’ll dress things up a bit more when she’s going out, but she never gets too crazy.

“I feel like my personality is always above the clothes that I’m wearing anyway, so I just wear stuff to be comfortable and to be able to be myself in.”

Even some of her own designs are too bold for her taste: “The jumpsuit, I don’t think I would even have the courage to wear it.”

2. HAIR ELASTIC ON HER WRIST: “My hair is always huge so it’s a staple.

Always have an elastic on your wrist. My hair’s naturally curly; it’s usually all over the place in an Afro.”

European-style deli sandwiches in Saskatchewan

By Jenn Sharp The sandwiches at Italian Star Deli are legendary.

Ask anyone in Regina where to get the best sandwich in the city and they’ll likely point you to the little house turned Italian market on Victoria.

An Italian couple, Frank and Gina Giambattista, bought what was then a confectionary in 1966 and began importing their favourite products from back home. The deli is now home to the largest selection of imported Italian goods anywhere in the city (and likely in the province.) From the best olive oil to pastas, pesto, sea salt and tomatoes, it’s all here. There’s also a healthy selection of ethnic products from Europe and South Africa, along with a strong representation of Saskatchewan-made products. The couple’s son Carlo and his daughter Marina are carrying on the family tradition.

It’s a boisterous place. Even after the noon hour rush, there’s often a lineup stretching throughout the store for one of those famous sandwiches. Carlo laughs often and asks customers about their day. It feels like stopping in at an old friend’s place rather than a business.

The grocery shopping aside, this place really does make a fantastic sandwich. There are three options — mild, medium or spicy. All come with a selection of deli meats, provolone, feta, pesto, homemade oil and vinegar and mustard. The medium heat sandwich has sliced banana peppers and the spicy includes the peppers along with Mama Gina’s “super spicy spread.”

I picked up a (huge) spicy sandwich the other day and took it over to nearby Victoria Park as there’s no seating inside the deli. I planned on eating half and saving the rest for later but it was so delicious, that plan flew right out the window. While the finely sliced deli meat and provolone was excellent and that spicy spread had plenty of kick, it was the soft and chewy artisan focaccia bread that kept me going back for more. Oh glu-

ten, how I love you.

And at $7, you’d be hard pressed to find a cheaper lunch anywhere else.

Up until last month, nothing in Saskatoon quite compared to the Italian Star Deli. Enter the newlyopened Riversdale Deli on the corner of Idylwyld and 20th St. W. Owned by the two Darbys (Kells and Taylor), their dream was to bring fine meats, cheeses and a European-feel deli to the Bridge City.

The two met while at SIAST’s culinary school in Saskatoon. Kells moved to Calgary after school to work in a fine dining restaurant. Taylor left as well, and worked at an Italian deli and restaurant in Calgary before coming back to Saskatoon. They’re both home now; reunited and bring-

ing their dream to fruition.

Products from Italy, Greece, Portugal, London and Montreal are available on the market side.

“All the ingredients we love to work with and that we know a lot about, we bring in. It’s like Christmas here every day,” says executive chef Darby Kells.

General manager Darby Taylor is a genius at bringing in product he knows Kells will love. Everything from pastas to artichokes, olive oil and my personal favourite, Rozendal vinegar (it’s good enough to drink, trust me), line the market’s shelves.

Need advice on what product to use? Just ask the chef. You can always find a Darby in house who will coach you through the decision.

SHARP EATS Need advice on what product to use?

Just ask the chef. You can always find a Darby in house who will coach you through the decision.

Their sandwiches ($10) may just rival those at Italian Star. Kells makes the bread from scratch every morning, 90 loaves per day. Available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the sandwiches are often sold out before 3. The chalkboard sandwich menu changes daily (there’s always five options) and features the deli’s meats and cheese, along with a vegetarian offering. A pickled product, from Kells’ Ukrainian grandmother’s recipe, is served on the side.

Bread loaves, $2, are also for sale.

Any bread leftover at the end of the day gets dropped off at businesses in the area.

“We’re going for quality, not quantity. We don’t want to throw anything out here. That’s why we don’t want to over produce a lot of our product,” says Kells.

For now, Kells is making unblea ched white bread. While people have asked for gluten-free, he won’t be offering it. His workspace is limited and he doesn’t want to risk any cross-contamination.

A production kitchen, complete with a six-foot stand up smoker, is in the works, along with a pizzeria next door. Kells is just waiting for his custom-built pizza oven to arrive.

If you’re a pork lover, you’ve come to the right place. Kells slow roasts it with herbs and aromatics before making the meat cuts. Pineview Farms is his main supplier. Tomatoes from Floating Gardens are on the menu too.

“We love pork. There’s a lot of pork in this deli case. Any fresh protein, I can get local, I’m getting local.”

The benefits of mulching your borders

By Sara Williams A mulched border conserves water and protects your plants and soil. It also reduces maintenance and the need for fertilizers and pesticides.

Let’s begin with a definition: mulch is a layer of organic material, 10 cm deep, spread over the soil surface between your plants. Various types of mulch, like post peelings, coarse sphagnum peat moss, shredded bark, decorative bark, chipper debris, evergreen needles and cones, flax straw and shives, and mowed leaves are available.

Mulching imitates nature (think of the millions of decaying leaves that cover a forest floor or the buildup of thatch in a Prairie grassland) and is an excellent way to recycle materials once destined for landfills or burning.

Here’s a list of mulching’s benefits:

WATER CONSERVATION

Mulching suppresses weeds that compete with your border plants for water. More importantly, it cools the soil and reduces evaporation.

Mulch also reduces wind evaporation. The slightly increased height of a mulched border and the rougher texture acts as a snow trap. The extra snow insulates the plants over winter and provides added moisture when it melts in the spring.

SOIL IMPROVEMENT AND CONSERVATION Mulch protects valuable topsoil from erosion. Mulching also prevents crusting and cracking, and improves water percolation. As mulch decays over time, it releases nutrients and adds organic matter to the soil. The result is better aeration, and improved water and nutrient-holding capacity of your soil. And the mulch layer acts as a cushion, preventing soil compaction.

Along with a host of other benefits, a mulched garden is low maintenance and has a unified appearance. Photo courtesy Sara Williams

WEED CONTROL

bugs that find a home within and under the mulch layer. Capable of eating 25 aphids per day, they are truly a gardener’s friend.

Weeds compete with flowers and shrubs for light, space, nutrients and water. By excluding light, the mulch layer prevents germination of the many weed seeds waiting in the soil below it. It also acts as a physical barrier preventing the emergence of weed seeds that do germinate. Weed seeds that blow onto the mulched surface find it difficult to root through the mulch.

DISCOURAGES SLUGS Mulch’s coarse texture, especially post peelings, reduces slug populations by rasping and dehydrating their tender bodies.

TEMPERATURE MODIFICATION

REDUCES WATER SPLASH Mulch absorbs water and almost entirely eliminates water and mud splash. This keeps flowers (and fruit such as strawberries), along with house siding, clean. But more importantly, by reducing mud-splash mulch reduces soil-borne fungal and bacterial diseases that can be transferred from the soil to the flowers, foliage and fruit from irrigation and rain.

Flax shives are slow to break down and are perfect to use as mulch. It’s also a good use of a waste product. Photo courtesy Sara Williams

ENCOURAGES LADYBUGS Once a mulch layer has been in place for a year or two, gardeners will be amazed by the number of lady

Mulch insulates the soil below, moderating temperature extremes.

By cooling the soil surface during the hot days of summer, mulch encourages healthy root growth and prevents root injury caused by excessively high soil temperatures. In spring and fall, it reduces the freeze-thaw cycles of heavy soils which can cause heaving and root injury to young plants.

Mulch keeps the soil cooler in early

spring, preventing the premature emergence of spring bulbs which might be nipped by frost.

DESIGN FUNCTION Mulch adds subtle colour and texture to the landscape. It unifies planting beds, especially when the plants are young, small and seemingly widely spaced within the bed. Mulch lets the world know that, indeed, this is a bed and should be walked around rather than through.

Spring fulfils the locavore’s search for a wine alternative

By James Romanow Once upon a time I was in charge of throwing a weekly art gallery party for openings. Essentially the choice of what to serve was a dessert party or a wine and cheese. I learned the two crowds had little overlap. If wine was on the menu, the dessert crowd was disgruntled and left early. If dessert was the choice, the winos made a valiant effort to stick it out but tended to drift away.

These days “dry” table wine offers both alcohol and sugar. Moreover, foodies have leaped into the affray, carrying the banner “Local!” on high. As most of the world lives in latitudes where the climate is either too cold or too hot for wine grapes, locavores have begun demanding alternative beverages to wine.

Mead, or honey wine, is one such choice.

Unadulterated, it is a truly sweet beverage.

To balance it, many meaderies cut the product with fruit juices to add flavour and acidity.

Cypress Hills Winery produces a number of honey wines available both at the meadery and through the SLGA. Spring is a blend of ripe sour cherries and honey wine, and a recent winner of a double gold medal in the mead category at the All Canadian wine championship. It is an intense berry flavoured drink, with a bouquet of cherry and cinnamon. For me, Spring is best as a spritzer
