LOCA L AUT HO RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

ALLAN KEHLER

Stepping Out From The Shadows I spent years persevering through the challenges of mental illness and addictions. During this time I was immersed in the shadows of shame and living a life of isolation. Silence will always be the enemy of recovery, and a lot of people continue to suffer in silence. I believe that our voice is our greatest tool, and as a professional speaker, I speak to empower others to use their voice in times of need. It was the feedback from members of my audience who requested my content in written form that led to the creation of this book. Whether you are personally being challenged by addictions or self-harm, or if you have a loved one struggling with these issues, this

book will gently guide and assist you. Education is the greatest weapon to combat the stigma that surrounds mental illness and addictions. In the same way that nobody chooses to have Schizophrenia, nobody chooses to become an addict. While writing in my Grade 12 yearbook I certainly did not write the words “an addict” beside the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Like Russell Brand, I believe that as addicts we do not have a drug or alcohol problem, but rather a reality problem. Drugs and alcohol are simply the solution. I view addictions as any attempt to live outside of self so that one does not have to go within. People can immerse themselves in

alcohol, substances, gambling, food, or even their work. Regardless, to recover one must lift the blanket, and be ready to take an honest look at what lies inside. I have discovered that there is a significant difference between people who exist and people who live. William Wallace said, “Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives.” If you find yourself to be in a position where you are not living, or if you feel like you are consumed by someone else’s journey, it is time to regain control. A life free from chaos and uncertainty awaits you. Allan Kehler resides in Saskatoon where he is an addictions counsellor, and college instructor at SIIT. He has evolved into a highly reputable

Allan Kehler

speaker, and has conducted hundreds of lectures while gaining national attention. His book is available at McNally Robinson, Indigo, Amazon (Kindle) or through his website www. outfromtheshadows.ca

It’s mostly differences in life circumstances that define who ends up inside and who doesn’t. I think it’s tragic. – Kim Pate

K I M PAT E

A fearless defender of women’s rights in prison

By Betty Ann Adam Kim Pate has been in jail. In fact, she’s been in and out of prisons for 23 years. The public policy warrior from Ontario, Canada’s most influential advocate for women prisoners, will be living in Saskatoon for the next

year as the University of Saskatchewan College of Law Ariel F. Sallows Chair in Human Rights. Pate, the executive director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies and recent inductee to the Order of Canada, is an internationally recognized expert in marginalized, criminalized and institution-

alized women. Pate is well known on Parliament Hill, at the United Nations and at conferences around the world, yet she is no stranger to Canadian prisons and courts. Her persistence fighting for the rights of prisoners sometimes irks authorities. Corrections staff have launched complaints about her

more than once during her 23 years with Elizabeth Fry. “There certainly have been issues where I have advocated very strongly over the years about what they have done with and to women that has ruffled feathers,” Pate said recently in an interview from her office amid the stacks at the College of Law library.

(Pate said she has asked each time that allegations be fully investigated and none has ever been bourn out.) Pate is especially concerned about mentally ill women in the prison system, where behaviours are perceived as criminal choices, not the actions of ill people who are unable to fit into the constraints of prison life.

I have no doubt that Kim Pate has made our prison system better. People like her ... are fearless. — Glen Luther

In 2007, she tried to get in to see female inmates at the Regional Psychiatric Centre in Saskatoon. A security supervisor had been charged with assaulting the mentally ill, selfharming teenager, Ashley Smith. Pate was refused entry for three days in a row. On the fourth day, she brought two local lawyers with her and finally got to see some of the women in the visiting area. “It was always that ‘things are disruptive on the unit,’ ‘the mental health concerns of people.’ They used all kinds of excuses.” Another time, “they got really upset” after Pate combed through a woman’s files and successfully argued against her being detained. Nevertheless, Pate said she has good relations with prison officials. Glen Luther, an associate professor at the College of Law, said it’s not unusual for advocates to clash with authorities. Challenging authority

can be a “minefield for an advocate ... you have to walk a very fine line.” “The bureaucrats in the system will often say the advocates are causing disruption and making things more difficult for those running the system. The reality is in the long-

term, if you have responsible advocacy, you make your system much better and more fair,” he said. “I have no doubt that Kim Pate has made our prison system better. People like her ... are fearless. “It’s the role of the defence lawyer

or the advocate to continue to be the thorn in the side of bureaucracy. That’s why I admire Kim’s work. It’s advocacy based in public policy issues.” Correctional Service Canada declined to provide Bridges an inter-

view, but spokesperson Jeff Campbell wrote in an email: “We respect and appreciate the dedication and engagement of community partners like Ms. Pate towards efforts to improve upon the service we deliver.” Continued on Page 8

Foliage rarely gets the recognition it deserves. It can be likened to the setting for a play — in view of the audience (you, the gardener) during the entire production (i.e. the growing season), while the actors (aka, flowers) come and go. It’s especially appreciated at the beginning and end of our prairie season when flowers have yet to appear or have been killed by a hard frost. If the foliage is any colour other than green, it acts as an accent season-long. One species of hardy shrubs, the Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), provides outstanding foliage during summer on the Prairies, mostly in shades of purple and gold. Among the cultivars are both small and large shrubs, fitting into both smaller urban landscapes and more expansive rural spaces. It’s called “barb” berry for a reason: the sharp, needlelike spines along the stems mean that it’s lovely to look at but decidedly not hug-

gable. Native to Japan, these shrubs are dense, rounded and multi-stemmed. Most of the cultivars range in height from 0.6 to 1.8 m and are grown primarily for their colourful foliage, generally yellow or pink-purple. The leaves are deciduous on the Prairies. The small yellow flowers are inconspicuous and usually hidden by the foliage. The bright red berries sometimes persist through the winter. The unimproved species is rarely available but there are several cultivars. Among those with purplish foliage that are smaller and more suitable to an urban landscape are: BURGUNDY CAROUSEL: Only 0.6 m in height, with a 1 m spread; purple summer foliage, becoming deep purple in fall RUBY CAROUSEL: 1 m in height and spread; reddish-purple foliage in summer and fall CONCORDE: A dwarf at only 0.6 m tall, with a spread of 1 m; slow growing and deep red purple

The Barberry Emerald Carousel is a cross between Japanese and Korean Barberry, giving this selection some added hardiness. Fall colour appears early in the season and is retained well into late fall. Photo courtesy Aubin Nurseries ROSE GLOW: 1 m in height and spread; a 1957 Dutch introduction, with mottled rose pink foliage in spring that becomes deep purple by fall ROYAL BURGUNDY: Very dwarf, 0.6 m in height and spread; with burgundy foliage in summer, turning deeper burgundy in fall

is yellow in summer with golden hues in fall. JADE CAROUSEL: One of the few green cultivars, reaches 1 m in height with a spread of 1.2 m; EMERALD CAROUSEL: Also green, is similar but slightly larger (1 — 1.6 m tall and wide); foliage of both turns red in fall.

Larger purple leafed barberries which are more useful in rural settings include: CHERRY BOMB: 1.2 m height and spread; deep crimson all season with an open, branching form ROYAL CLOAK: One of the larger cultivars (1.22.4 m in height and spread), upright and arching with dark reddish-purple foliage Note: Dark purple on its own can become lost in the shadows and disappear into a black hole. It is best placed slightly in front of and to the side of a shrub with gold, yellow, silver or variegated foliage; or plant in front of a light coloured fence, house or other structure.

Place barberries in full sun or light shade in well-drained soil. They are very drought-tolerant once established (after one or two seasons). They may die back if exposed to very cold temperatures in late fall or early winter without an insulating snow cover. The purple types seem more susceptible, but often recover by midsummer. Barberries are useful in a mixed or shrub border, rock garden, a mass planting or an informal, untrimmed hedge.

Two of the barberries that have golden-yellow foliage: GOLDEN NUGGET: Compact and mounded with lovely golden-orange foliage in spring; 30 to 60 cm in height and spread. New spring growth is golden with orange tones, becoming golden during summer and orange pink in fall. SUNSATION: Larger, vase-shaped and more upright, reaching 1.2 m in height and spread. It

Unlike owning a condo, there will never be a surprise bill to fix the roof. You promptly receive your money when you conclude your lease. A life-lease is peace of mind. The innovative residence was designed by Saskatoon architect Charles Olfert of AODBT Architecture. Extensive use of architectural glass in the building’s modern design includes floor-to-ceiling windows which capture gorgeous views of neighbouring Hyde Park, with its 237 acres of lakes, parkland and walking trails. A stunning 6-foot wide FreshView window functions like an indoor balcony. Many suites have balconies with glass panel railings. All of the “must-haves” of today’s condo market are offered, including open concept floor plans, nine-foot ceilings and modern kitchens with large islands, quartz countertops and a full stainless steel appliance package. Two-bedroom master suites have

Hyde Park View will also offer 25 personal care units. As individuals age, they will be able to move to a specially designed area in the same building that will provide the 24-hour, personal care they need. That transition will be easier in the same building, with their friends surrounding them. Their spouse can move with them or stay in their same suite. Licensed by the provincial government, the personal care area will provide an intermediate level of care staffed by qualified, trained personnel. The rental apartment waiting list will begin accepting names in May 2015. Hyde Park View offers some of the most attractive prices in the city, especially when you consider the amenities and the high level of service provided to residents—even to changing the light bulbs. The Elim Lodge Housing Group has been providing quality housing in Saskatoon for more than 30 years. For more information, contact sales representative Shelley Davis at (306) 612-3338 and visit the website at www.hydeparkview.org or drop by Elim Lodge (1123 Moss Avenue) to pick up a sales package.

Summer is winding down and that means embracing the last days of warmth in Saskatoon. What better way to do that than a parking lot party? The ladies at Alchemy Clothing and Salon know how to throw a great party — they invited Saskatoon bands like Violent Betty, Bye Bye Baby and Cities Gateway to play, along with local vendors and food trucks. The all ages party was a fundraiser for Saskatoon’s community radio station CFCR.

Websites help connect people with Sask.-grown food By Jenn Sharp Sure, it’s great to eat local food but where the heck do you find it? Apart from farmers’ markets and health food stores, it’s not very easy to find food grown close to home or find information on where your food came from. A few enterprising organizations are changing that by launching websites and in-store programs to help connect people with food grown close to home.

SASKFOODFIND.COM The non-profit Simply Ag Solutions launched this site in June to help connect food growers with Saskatchewan consumers. The first venture of its kind in the province, producers are able to promote their operations and sell products directly to customers on the site. Executive director of Simply Ag Solutions, Tamara Weir-Shields, says there’s large numbers of farmers producing farm gate food in the province but many don’t know how to connect with these farmers. “Our current methods of food procurement are very detached from the actual production; this has resulted in a lack of understanding about how our food is produced and a knowledge gap in generations.” Along with being able to order food products, the website also has recipes, nutritional facts, news and information sections. According to Weir-Shields, there are multiple benefits of purchasing food from Saskatchewan, including better taste thanks to food being harvested at its peak, and supporting the local economy. CO-OP As far as larger grocery stores go, Co-op is undoubtedly leading the pack in sourcing local products. Their At Home campaign uses three labels to identify products grown, raised or produced in Western Canada, and they’re taking it one step further by partnering with a Saskatoon chef and a company called Localize. LOCALIZEYOURFOOD.COM Localize CEO Meghan Dear started the website, which provides a “localized” score on in-store labels, out of frustration — it was hard to find local products in grocery stores. “If there was a local sign up, it didn’t really explain what it meant. I decided to delve into and unpack that.” Localize ran a pilot project in Co-op stores in Alberta for

more than a year. Now, they’re partnering with all 210 Co-op locations in Western Canada (it launched in Saskatchewan on Sept. 23). Most obvious to consumers will be what’s happening in the grocery store. Localize labels will go up on shelves beside price tickets, which will identify a product’s ownership and where it comes from. A score out of 10 is awarded to each product in three different categories: Production, ownership and ingredients. Dear

says consumers can find out as much or as little as they like about a given product. To find out more, products have a QR code; when scanned into a smart phone, a page dedicated to the product comes up. “If someone is really interested in learning more about that product and its story, and where it came from, then we really unpack that. That’s our attempt to be more transparent and to push a bit for more transparency behind our food products.” She says transparency is important because people are questioning more and more where their food comes from. “Our local food producers are available to tell us that narrative.” The reasons people care about all this are different for everyone, according to Dear. For some, it’s about supporting the local economy; others want to know if something was grown or raised in a particular way. There’s not many ways to find out that information, which is the niche Localized hopes to fill in Saskatchewan. “Information is out there but it’s hard to find. We pull it together and make it easy to understand.” To find the info, the Localized team works directly with food producers — nearly 600 in Western Canada thus far. They’re working with 247 grocery stores and hope to expand.

COOPFOOD.CA Saskatoon’s Dale MacKay is the star of Co-op’s new website, devoted to promoting cooking and using Co-op products. Recipes and instructional videos from MacKay form the largest part of the userfriendly site that aims to get people into the kitchen. “The whole idea is to get people cooking, using new products and trying new things,” says MacKay. He estimates 75 per cent of his non-chef friends don’t know how to cook. “I’m meeting so many people around my age that have no idea how to cook, so they’re eating very poorly. Whenever I go to a party, they expect me to cook — hopefully that will change!”

Bob Deutscher shoots Dale MacKay giving food advice and recipe ideas for coopfood.ca at Ayden Kitchen & Bar.

SHARP EATS The videos show people how easy it is to cook and the recipes, themed for each month, are simple: “They’re just about taking things you already know how to do and making them taste a little better,” he says. He points to the vegetable side of Co-op, commending them for focusing on local, sustainable produce and promoting Saskatchewan-grown food. “They’re the best. They’re the original hipsters.” Ron Welke, Co-op’s associate vice president, food, says the partnership with MacKay was an easy choice, thanks to his star status gained through Top Chef Canada and the fact he returned home to Saskatoon from Vancouver to open Ayden Kitchen & Bar. “He’s from Western Canada where we’re based. He grew up in Saskatchewan; he understands the values of Co-op. He’s concerned about local food and sustainable food. It’s a natural fit for us.” Coopfood.ca will be promoted in stores through recipe cards and merchandising that month’s ingredients so people can feel more confident about trying new foods. “It’s to show people how easy it is to cook with food. It doesn’t have to be hard,” says MacKay. And that’s never a bad thing. jksharp@thestarphoenix.com

WINE WORLD #

S A S K AT C H E WA N W I N E S C E N E

Food wine has a zippy attack and lingering finish By James Romanow If you are of a certain age the phrase “Greek wine” conjures sun baked islands, retsina (harsh red wine flavoured with pine resin) and pitchers of tart white wine the colour of urine. This is the problem for modern Grecian vintners — a bunch of super-annuated drinkers like me, who would rather be dead in a ditch than face the rigours of Greek wine again. Greece is the cradle of modern European wine. Their grapes were exported to Italy and the south of France. Their techniques were copied and improved upon. And even today, they harbour a number of grapes that would do well when planted abroad. More importantly, they too have imported modern viticulture and vinification techniques back into their country. There are a handful of reds on the shelves here (I have recommended Naoussa in the past in this column) and two whites. One of the whites has a small following as a bargain Muscat (aka Moscato). The other is fairly new and deserves white wine drinkers give it a try. For the cork dorks in the audience it is a blend of Roditis and Malagouzia grapes. I know what you’re thinking: “Not ANOTHER Roditis/ Malagouzia blend.” Roditis is a pink-skinned grape that resembles pinot noir. It has the wonderful capacity to

maintain acidity in hot climates. Malagouzia is an ancient grape going back to biblical times and probably earlier, and makes elegant aromatic wines. The combination produces a light coloured white with a citrus and lemon zest bouquet, a crisp palate with — and this surprised me — a very round finish. The zip of the attack and the lingering finish are the hallmarks of a first rate food wine. Opa! Petra Kir-Yianni, Greece, 2012. $17.47 **** More wine in Monday’s paper and on Twitter @drbooze.
