The laws of colour

importance a 10 out of 10

By Ashley Martin Even though he’s a lawyer, Alex Shalashniy isn’t immune to colour.

The 26-year-old recognizes that legal eagles gravitate to conservative hues, but says colour “can really make a wardrobe pop.”

Though by day he works at Kanuka Thuringer LLP, Shalashniy moonlights as a fashion columnist for Mind This, a web magazine for young professionals. He’s given a lot of thought to the fashion of world leaders, citing BBC announcer Komla Dumor as one of the best-dressed.

Shalashniy, who defines his look as “GQ meets The Economist,” says there’s more to style than mad spending.

“You can go to a high-end store, spend thousands of dollars and come out looking like a mannequin or like something in a magazine. The true fun in shopping and fashion in this world is looking great and not breaking the bank.”

Kendal Netmaker

A story of opportunity

By Jenn Sharp “To see an Aboriginal person running a business in the mainstream marketplace is huge,” says Kendal Netmaker.

But he’s always been a doer.

Through his clothing company Neechie Gear (located in the Centre Mall), he wants to improve the lives of First Na-

tions youth by getting them into sports. He’s a role model and he hopes to motivate others to pursue their own dreams of success.

Hardship. Transformation.

Opportunity. These are chapters in Netmaker’s life story.

Growing up, life was never easy. He and his three sisters were raised by his mother.

His father left when Kendal

was five.

They moved around a lot, often staying in emergency shelters for single moms.

Eventually, they came home to his mother’s reserve, Sweet Grass First Nation, located west of the Battlefords. The family moved in with Netmaker’s now deceased kokum.

“It was really cramped. It’s very hard to get housing on re-

serves and we had no chance of getting a house for a long time,” said Netmaker.

When he was in Grade 2, they managed to move into the house of a cousin who had left the reserve. The small two-bedroom structure became the family’s permanent home.

Netmaker enrolled in Sweet Grass Elementary but trans-

ferred to the public school in Cutknife the next year.

“Growing up on the reserve, you’re used to brown people and now you’re in a farm community where there’s hardly any. So that was totally different for me and I had to make new friends. It was really hard to adjust — you feel left out of everything.”

Netmaker towers above most people — his height has helped him excel at volleyball. His bright eyes highlight a face that is often smiling or laughing.

His easygoing nature draws people in. Netmaker has a gift for connecting. He uses it to his advantage in business and coaching aboriginal youth sport teams.

There’s nothing to do on the reserve but drink. Sports keep kids out of trouble. – Kendra Weenie

While his life was never easy, he credits his personality for making it better than what most First Nations youth experience. Many children from surrounding reserves came to the school in Cutknife and weren’t as fortunate as Netmaker. The culture shock never subsided.

“They got stuck. They felt too different. A lot were put into resource rooms because no one understands why they’re like that at the time — they just think they’re idiots. That’s what happens to a lot of people.”

When no one understands you, when you don’t fit in, when there’s nothing positive to do at home, it’s a steep slide into drugs and alcohol. ***** One of the best friends Netmaker made during his time at Cutknife Elementary was Johann Strumpher, in Grade 5. Strumpher’s father was a doctor who brought the family to Canada from South Africa.

“This kid totally changed my life, I guess you could say. He was the first person to give me and my family an opportunity. I wasn’t expecting it and that’s usually how they come, these opportunities.”

The two loved playing soccer.

Strumpher wanted to know why Netmaker wasn’t playing on an organized team. Netmaker told him his only transportation was the bus.

He came from a low-income family and they couldn’t afford recreational sports fees.

Strumpher’s parents paid his fees and picked him up. Netmaker was shocked.

“This was the first time anyone had ever done this for me. I took that opportunity.”

Opportunity is a meaningful word for Netmaker. When he was given an opportunity to play soccer, he became one of the best on the team.

Strumpher moved away in Grade 7 but before that, his family gave their 1986 Crown Victoria to Netmaker’s mother. It was the family’s first vehicle and lasted them for years. It enabled Netmaker and his sisters to continue playing soccer. At the same time, he felt culturally limited at Cutknife’s school.

Kendal Netmaker met Charles, Prince of Wales, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, during the Regina Royal Visit in May at the First Nations University of Canada. Netmaker was invited to the event to represent entrepreneurship and offered the couple Neechie Gear medallion gifts, which they accepted. PHOTO COURTESY MIKE DUBOIS.

“The people have a hard time understanding First Nations people. I was always excluded out of different things. They’re all comfortable, middle-class families there.”

Netmaker remembers a school potluck — he never had anything to bring because they didn’t have enough extra food to send a meal to school. This was something his peers couldn’t fathom and he got teased for it.

Netmaker’s mother was on social

assistance throughout his youth. For her, being a stay-at-home mom was an important role, one that kept her children out of trouble.

“I think that’s one of the reasons why I’m able to be successful today.

Along with my sisters; they’re all in university,” he said.

His sister Kendra Weenie recently graduated from the University of Saskatchewan Indian Teacher Education Program. She’s a substitute teacher in the public school division

and she helps Netmaker out at the store. Weenie believes that without sports, her life would have turned out much differently. Without it, kids have nothing to look forward to and don’t set goals for themselves.

“There’s nothing to do on the reserve but drink. Sports keep kids out of trouble. I believe it helped keep us out of trouble growing up because we were constantly involved in soccer, volleyball and badminton.”

***** Netmaker transferred to North Battleford’s John Paul II Collegiate in Grade 10. He was intimidated at first, being one of the only First Nations students, but began playing volleyball and basketball in earnest. A tall and extremely slender teenager, Netmaker excelled at volleyball, a sport he grew up playing because it was cheap.

Kendal is all about lifelong learning and entrepreneurship and inclusion. – Ayten Archer

The volleyball team was intimidating for Netmaker. He struggled to fit in. His coach pulled him aside, telling him he saw a lot of potential.

He told Netmaker he wanted to work with him more.

“This was another game-changer for me,” he notes.

He stayed on the team and by the end of Grade 12 had won the male athlete of the year award.

Another opportunity came after high school.

A volleyball coach from Keanu College in Fort McMurray invited him to play with its team.

He loaded up his ’98 Dodge Neon and left to start fresh. He took university classes and played volleyball, winning rookie of the year and becoming the team captain the next year.

Netmaker later enrolled in ITEP at the U of S. Then he had an idea to create a clothing line that gave back.

“I thought of my youth. Why can’t I help kids to be inspired through sports? Sports have gotten me to where I am today. There were so many people that chose drugs and alcohol. There were so many athletes that could have been big.”

With the help of established business mentors in the community, he made a business plan. One

of those people, Ayten Archer, speaks highly of the young professional.

“Kendal is all about lifelong learning and entrepreneurship and inclusion,” she said.

He entered two business plan competitions, taking home first place in the Aboriginal Youth Idea Challenge and third place in the i3 Idea Challenge. His prize money of $16,000 was used as startup cash for Neechie Gear (a slang form of ‘my friend’ in Cree). He was then awarded Saskatoon’s Finest Entrepreneur by the Centre Mall. Part of the prize was a mall cart in which to sell his clothing. The temporary shop went so well that mall managers offered him a one-year lease in a storefront. Neechie Gear opened July 1 and sales have been overwhelming.

Netmaker is quick to say that his success would not have been possible without help from others.

“I give (Archer) full credit for opening my life up. Without her mentorship, I wouldn’t have been so successful,” he said. “We always had to struggle for everything. If I wanted brand name clothes I had to save up my money. I’m putting all those skills to use now with the businesses.

I had to scramble for every bit of cash I had.”

Culture is very strong in our family and that’s why we are the way we are today.

The main thing is respect. – Kendel Netmaker

Kendel Netmaker and his sister Kendra Weenie at the Neechie Gear shop. Bridges photo by Andrew Spearin

Neechie Gear was chosen to represent Canada at the 2011 G20 Young Entrepreneur Summit in France, which Netmaker attended with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He said the experience was motivating and that it inspired him with many ideas to bring back home.

Neechie Gear was recently nominated in three categories at this year’s Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Abex Awards: Young entrepreneur of the year, community involvement and Aboriginal partnership. The awards will be held Oct. 20 in Regina.

***** Soon after founding Neechie Gear, Netmaker formed the nonprofit arm, NG Athletics Club Inc. It creates and supports youth sports teams. The 2012 NG under 18 girls and boys volleyball and basketball clubs ran from December to April, competing in mainstream club tournaments. He’s currently looking for outside funding for the teams because his goal is to have no cost for participants.

“That’s the biggest problem for Aboriginal people to play sports — they can’t afford it.”

He believes sports can solve many of the problems associated with life on the reserve, saying alcohol creates unnecessary hardships.

“I envision a day where underprivileged kids don’t have to pay for anything just to play sports.

You solve that problem, you solve so many lifelong problems after that.”

His sister agrees.

“I got involved with a bad crowd in junior high but that didn’t last very long. Sports have really kept me busy and motivated to do well in school,” Weenie said.

Netmaker adds that having Aboriginal education in the mainstream system will also go a long way.

“You teach it from the ground up, you eliminate stereotypes, you eliminate racism and we all get along at the end.”

He attributes his own success to several factors: first to the way he was raised, in a traditional culture. His grandma did not attend residential school and hid from the wagons that came to take the children from the reserve to the schools every day. As a result, she kept her culture and her lan-

guage.

“Culture is very strong in our family and that’s why we are the way we are today. The main thing is respect.”

Netmaker is trying his best to keep his Cree culture alive in his family by learning the language and passing the traditions down to his 17-month old son, Keanu. His partner, Rachel Thomas, is doing her best to pass it along, too. He’s thankful for her guidance.

“Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to do all of this without her. She keeps me focused. Having a family keeps me focused that way.”

Echo echo spot spot

By Jeanette Stewart

Chris Morin is a consultant with the Saskatchewan Arts Board, a musician, music journalist and co-creator of Ominocity, a local arts and culture blog with a devoted following.

Morin took Bridges to his favourite spot in Saskatoon. What he calls the “Saskatoon Echo Spot” is located at the entrance of Kiwanis Memorial Park, adjacent to the Bessborough and across the street from the Court of Queen’s Bench. If you stand on the circle in the middle of the entranceway facing the park you’ll hear your voice in an echo. If you step off the circle, the echo disappears.

Q: Describe your favourite spot in Saskatoon: A: I would call it the Saskatoon Echo Spot, although that is a very informal name, perhaps used by only one person ever ... It’s an underwhelming Saskatoon, unknown treasure. It’s just a strange urban architecture phenomenon that I think city engineers unwittingly planted. It could be intentional, I really doubt it though.

Q: How did you discover this spot?

A: I think I was walking here with a friend and we were just taking turns standing in the middle and we noticed the acoustic sonic phenomenon. We took turns stepping off and I think that’s what we called it, the Saskatoon Echo Spot.

Q: When was it?

A: That was 2005.

Q: Why is this your favourite spot?

A: Just for the simple fact that even if you know it’s there, I don’t think you would notice it. It’s almost like a found treasure. It’s situated in the middle of all these significant things and I think this is something that would never get noticed ... It’s also a really great place to take dates.

CHELSEY WILSON

Chelsey Wilson is making her mark at the race track

By Jeanette Stewart Chelsey Wilson began racing go karts when she was 12 years old.

The aspiring teacher has since traded up for a Legends car, which she bought with her father when she was 16.

Wilson, 19, is a student at the Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) at the University of Saskatchewan, but still finds time to make laps around the track.

Q: What drew you to racing?

A: Honestly, I just love racing. I always have.

My dad raced for 30 years, so I think it’s just kind of hereditary.

Q: Describe your ride: A: Technically, it’s a 5/8 scale size of a 1934 Ford Coupe. The engine in it is 1250 cc Yamaha motorbike engine. The engines are sealed in Legends to ensure close competition. My car is blue with a white racing stripe and I run number 13. The cars are pretty much all the same.

We all run the same tires, which are federal tires. In Legends there’s four different classes, there’s lions, semi-pro, pro and masters and I run in semi-pro. At the track we all run at the same time but we are racing for different points.

Q: What does semi-pro mean?

A: Semi-pro is kind of the beginner class. If you haven’t raced before or if you’re younger you go in semi-pro. Young lions is under 16. Pro is advanced. If you win in semi-pro then you move up to pro, or if you win three races, or if you win the championships. Anyone can go into masters as long as you’re over 40. Sometimes it’s age, sometimes it’s skill.

Q: Does your dad also drive the same car?

A: He doesn’t drive that car. He actually hasn’t raced for a long time, but he used to drive street stocks at the old Bridge City race track.

Q: How often do you get to race your car?

A: This year we’ve raced about six to eight races. It kind of depends on the year. This year Legends just started a local series. Before the home track was Wetaskiwin in Alberta and we had a couple races at Saskatoon, a couple at Medicine Hat and one in Regina. It was called the Max Series. But this year there’s races in Wetaskiwin, Regina, Medicine Hat and Saskatoon and that’s the Max Series. There’s also more races in Wetaskiwin alone and that’s called the Edmonton Series and there’s also a local Legends Series in Saskatoon.

Q: Are you doing more than one series?

Race car driver Chelsey Wilson at Auto Clearing Motor Sports Speedway.

A: I’m doing the Saskatchewan Series and the Max Series.

Q: Do you get better the more you race?

A: Totally. We call it seat time. The more seat time you have the better you are and the more seat time you have at different tracks the better you are. You don’t just get used to one track, you have to learn how to set up your car for different tracks.

Q: What do you like about being behind the wheel?

A: I love racing. I love the rush that you get when you pass someone, when you have a good battle with someone, if you win. It’s such a rush. It’s unexplainable. I just have a competitive drive and racing seems to be the best outlet.

Q: What are your goals for the sport?

A: For short term goals, I won my first race this year at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway.

I’m really hoping to win the championship for the Saskatchewan Series this year. Long term, I think I want to move up into pro and see how I can do in there. I’m not sure if we’re going to stay in Legends or if we’re going to move into full sized cars such as Street Strock

or Pro Truck. It’s kind of up in the air with me going to school.

Q: Is racing an expensive pursuit?

A: From the outside looking in I guess it is pretty expensive. It’s mostly startup costs though. To buy your car and to buy all your safety equipment and spare parts and stuff, that makes it expensive at the start. As long as you keep your nose relatively clean it’s not expensive to maintain.

Q: Do you have a pit crew?

A: My dad is the crew chief and my mom does a lot of other stuff. Sometimes I have my friends there.

Q: Are you one of the few women racing?

A: I’m the only woman racing Legends. There’s more now in the last couple years in racing in general. Over all there’s not many female race car drivers.

Q: What’s it like competing in a man’s world?

A: I learned a lot in kart racing. It’s hard. You never want to say this but you get treated differently, and it’s not always in the best way. But I mean once you put the helmet on — which is what my dad always says — everyone is the same. Everyone is a racer, it doesn’t matter if

you’re a girl or a guy or anything else. Once you have your helmet on and you’re in your car, you’re the same as the person beside you and in front of you and behind you. It’s tough but you have to deal with it. If you love racing so much, it really doesn’t matter.

Q: Does racing on the track help your driving skills overall?

A: It sounds ridiculous but it really does. You’re way more aware. In a race car you’re travelling at high rates of speed in close quarters with many other people. And you have a cement wall on both sides of you. If you screw up, you’re going to crash. With racing, it helps me read other people’s driving. When you’re racing you have to read the person in front of you.

Q: Have you crashed before?

A: Yah. I actually crashed last week. Any racer will tell you crashing is part of it. It happens.

You always want to avoid it, but it happens.

When you’re racing two inches ahead of another car at 200 km/hour going into a corner you can’t always save it.

Q: How fast are you driving on the track?

A: Probably upwards of 120 km/h. We don’t have speedometers though.

Email bridges@thestarphoenix.com

#

pa r e n t t o pa r e n t

Each week Bridges, in connection with SaskatoonMoms.com, gathers advice from parents to share with other moms and dads. This week we asked:

If it was up to you, would your child have a school uniform or wear regular clothes to school?

“Uniforms would make getting my twins dressed in the morning super easy because there wouldn’t be any argument over who was wearing what however I like the fact that they can pick what they want to wear. Having attended a private high school in Regina where this was often a debate, I still

have to say I’m on the fence. Uniforms would remove some of the divide we see among students from varying socioeconomic status’ but they also create a world of problems in terms of enforcement. Some would argue individuality is at stake if we made students wear uniforms ... I don’t think there’s ever going to be a right (or mutually agreed upon) answer on this one.” — Michelle Grodecki “I don’t think a school uniform is necessary AND I don’t have time to ensure that a uniform is washed and ready every morning. It’s fun to wear new clothes to school, it’s fun to dress

up for different occasions (i.e. Rider Pride day). If going somewhere after school, it’s not necessary to stop and change. Kids need to express their individuality.” — Carla Contreras “Uniforms would be a lot easier for parents and it may cut down on some of the teasing from other kids however a bully is a bully and they would just find something else to tease kids about. Clothing is often one of the first decisions that kids get to make for themselves and you get to see a lot of their personalities come out so I am still for kids wearing regular clothes to school.” — Nikki Melnyk

Gardening #s A S K A T C H E W A N

PERENNIAL SOCIETY

Dry shade tolerant perennials

By Erl Svendsen As discussed in a previous column, dry shade, the bane of many gardeners, is solved by combining appropriate irrigation design (to deliver water), mulch application (to prevent evaporation), soil amendments (to improve moisture holding capacity), and careful plant selection. Plants need to be tolerant of both dry and shade conditions: Barren strawberry, barrenwort, lily-of-the-valley, bigroot cranesbill and coral bells are good choices.

This week, I’ve provided additional drought and shade tolerant plant choices to consider: Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum multiflorum, P. biflorum, P. x hybridum): Adaptable shade plant, growing in heavy clay to sandy soil, in moist to dry conditions. A slow to moderately fast spreading plant, arching stems (two to four feet long) stems, lined with leaves arranged alternately along the stem, arise singly from a creeping rhizome. Small tubular creamy white flowers hang in little bunches along the stem in early summer, followed by dark blue berries. Variegated leaf forms are available. An excellent addition to a woodland garden and a nice complement with ferns. Deer and rabbit resistant.

False Solomon’s seal (Smilacina stellata): Daintier perennial compared to Solomon’s seal (above). Leaves are smaller and narrower, and small star-like flowers appear at the end of the stems rather than along the stem. Fruits are light green berries with six longitudinal black stripes. Spreads moderately fast.

European ginger (Asurum eruopaeum): Excellent ground cover, forming a solid slowgrowing patch three to five inches tall — not aggressive. Its outstanding feature is its dark green, glossy, evergreen kidney shaped leaves. The leaves capture and reflect any light that touches them. Canadian wild ginger (Asarum canadense) is similar except its leaves are dull green. Best if grown in a location sheltered from the worst of winter.

Heartleaf bergenia (aka giant rockfoil, pig squeak): Large, round, shiny, cabbagelike evergreen leaves, it comes through winter without missing a beat. Fills an otherwise colourless space with green as soon as the snow disappears. It is also one of the first to bloom with white, pink, mauve or red flower clusters adding even more appeal to the ear-

ly garden. They reach about 12 to 14 inches tall with flower stalks overtopping the plant; spreads 20 to 24 inches. You can be ruthless when removing old, leathery tattered leaves in the spring as new leaves form early and are more attractive being light green and glossy.

Siberian squill (Scilla siberica): Survives dry shade by growing in early spring when soil moisture conditions are usually more favourable. Fall planted, bulbs send out an upright whorl of grass-like, dark green leaves followed shortly by one or more flower stalks each with a few nodding dark or light blue flowers; a white flower form is also avail-

able. About six inches tall. After flowering, plants die down and spend the summer (and winter) in a dormant state. Can naturalize if seed pods are allowed to mature.

Snowdrop anemone (Anemone sylvestris): Flowers (white) in the spring overtop low mounds of light green foliage. Forms a dense patch, 12 to 18 inches tall, and is a good companion/over-planting for taller spring flowering bulbs as they hide the bulb foliage as it withers. Like other anemones, this one spreads moderately fast so be assertive in spring when keeping it in check. Remove fluffy seed heads to prevent self-seeding. Deer

and rabbit resistant.

Bunch berry (Cornus canadensis): Native woodland plant found throughout Canada. A relatively short spreading ground cover, it flowers (prominent white bracts surrounding a cluster of small greenish flowers) in early spring overtop a whorl of leaves, followed by a cluster of small bright red fruit (drupes).

A fascination of high-energy dreams

By David Letts Suddenly, a family wrests themselves from Regina circa 1980 for rustic life in a remote B.C. mountain valley, settling in log cabins under the stars, among bears and ravens, forming new friendships. An adventure many fantasize, but few undertake. Why these people? From a previous life of mine years ago, it’s time to tell the story.

Delving deeply into nature, healing body and soul, interacting with a variety of people, learning David Letts to live simply in partnership with the Earth, expanding awareness, creating beauty ... All these were motives for two

alternative community ventures — one highprofile, one not. The Findhorn Community in northern Scotland first became famous for its miraculous garden and well-documented communication with nature spirits, later for its socially transformative vision. The venture I was involved in never became a physical community. But it centred around an inward opening similar to those guiding Findhorn — and has strong Regina connections.

Perhaps my 1960s peace activism stimulated my dream life, as many intriguing “teaching” dreams followed. Consequently, by the late 1970s I was a psychology PhD student here. Fascinated by the wisdom in high-energy dreams, I pursued its source in meditation and my experiential workshops — which included one particularly receptive, intuitive person, Kelly (Siofra Bradigan). We found that, with right conditions, a gentle, wise presence began to

speak through her — eyes lucid, ageless serenity softening Kelly’s breezy personality.

It turned out Moita has been with Kelly since her beginnings.

Some Reginans remember our gatherings sharing “this experiment in communication between worlds.” One older man said, “[Moita] looks right into your soul. I’ve never seen anybody look at somebody with such total love.”

But we departed after that first year, guided intuitively to a quieter place where we would explore and deepen community in unexpected ways, journeying across lifetimes and dimensions, weaving people’s energies together. This book relates that multi-faceted adventure, as we came to understand what was bewildering before — the evolution of consciousness, the depths and heights of human nature, the rising energies affecting our planet, and awakening the dream of Earth. “A big hug for the love

and support of your old medicine woman,” said Elisabeth Kubler-Ross after seeking Moita’s help. “Highly recommended ... prophetic and relevant for this time,” says the political/spiritual journal Both Sides Now. You may have heard me at the Paranormal Symposium. Available through dwletts@gmail. com, www.trafford.com or www.amazon.ca.

Garden has more variety than a grocery store

By Ashley Martin W HO? Fran Zerr W HAT ?

The vegetable garden in her east Regina back yard.

W HEN ?

Zerr has lived in this house for 25 years.

She used to garden at the lake, but wanted a garden at home so she started planting in beds and containers.

W HY? “I heard it grows better (in pots), but for me it was a lot less crawling around on the ground. It’s easier, it’s neater and I just think it looks nice,” Zerr explained. “I’m most proud of the watermelons; I couldn’t believe they could grow in a pot.

“It’s actually kind of amazing what you can grow in a pot.”

HOW? This year, Zerr planted about 24 different fruits and vegetables in her yard, including cantaloupe, squash, squash, peppers, bok choy, beans, horseradish, strawberries, fennel, garlic, potatoes and sunflowers (treats for the blue jays).

Zerr has many varieties of tomatoes, including cherry tomatoes she calls “candy”

— they are jaw-clenchingly sweet.

There’s nothing Zerr won’t try to grow. She has sweet potatoes in a barrel and a fragrant lemon tree that she started from seed.

Along the fence there are flowers — it’s too shaded to grow vegetables there — and a cherry tree that produced only one cherry this year. A bush of Concord grapes, sweetened by the cold weather, are destined to become jam.

Her yard is perfect for a garden: It gets full sun until the end of the day and feels degrees hotter than the actual temperature.

Aside from the plants, the yard is sparsely decorated. Zerr has some birdfeeders and knick-knacks, but her most cherished decorations are some ceramic flowers sculpted by her sister, and some large wagon wheels that came from her mother’s garden.

Zerr spends at least three hours a day outside, weeding and watering.

Now is the time to taste the fruits of her labour. She cans beets but otherwise freezes the vegetables, and gives away bags of tomatoes.

Slicing a piece of Armenian cucumber, the crunchiest cucumber she’s ever had, Zerr says this is why she plants a garden.

“It totally relaxes me and there is nothing like picking it fresh.”

NEXT MONTH: How To Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran

AN INVISIBLE THREAD

One small decision changed two lives

By Jenn Sharp and Ashley Martin In 1986, Laura Schroff was 35 and a successful advertising executive for USA Today. Maurice Mazyck was an 11-year-old boy, starving and panhandling in the streets of New York City.

They met when Schroff, rather than ignoring the boy’s request for spare change, decided to take him to lunch at McDonalds. It was the beginning of an unlikely friendship that ultimately saved each of them.

ASHLEY M A RTI N : At points in her book, Laura Schroff asks herself if she was doing more harm than good by befriending Maurice — whether giving him support, homecooked meals and the ability to trust other people, was taking away the skills he needed to survive on the streets. What do you think? Would Maurice have been better off if he’d never met Laura?

JENN SH A R P: No, I don’t think Maurice would have been better off. She definitely had a positive impact on his life. Like any relationship there were ups and downs and moments of doubt. I think it was huge for Maurice to have someone that cared about him and wanted him to succeed. As much as he loved his mother, she wasn’t able to give that to him. Children need someone that loves them enough to provide encouragement and strength, and to say no when it’s needed. Schroff provided these mother qualities that Maurice’s mom lacked.

Maurice likely chose the path he did (and not one of addiction and gang involvement) thanks to Schroff ’s influence.

Schroff frequently talks about her own childhood and her abusive father. Despite all the damage he did to the family, she still yearned for the man he could have been if he had stopped drinking. Maurice also loved his mother unconditionally, despite her shortcomings. For me, this was a lesson in how much children will love their parents — no matter the circumstances. What do you think?

AM : While Schroff ’s father Nunzie was drunk, he would terrorize his children and beat his wife. In one instance, he threw whole bottles of liquor at the wall above his daughter’s bed, soaking the mattress in liquor and spraying

Laura Schroff and Maurice Mazyck 25 years after they first met.

shards of glass all over his children, who were cowering in fear. At another point, his wife suffered three broken ribs because he kicked her torso repeatedly.

Another time, he nearly killed the family as he drunkenly drove them home in a snowstorm, decided to speed, lost control of the vehicle and nearly crashed into a bus.

In spite of all of this, Schroff says there were times he was a good father. Eventually as an adult, she cut him off for being a bully and didn’t speak to him for the rest of his life, but throughout her book she excuses his behaviour: “The tragedy of my father’s life is that he truly did love my mother,” “ ... what

SUBMITTED PHOTO

a great father he sometimes was, and might have been, if only he had known how,” and, “Years later Steven told me that in one of his last conversations with my father, he asked him why he acted the way he did. ‘I don’t know,’ my father said. ‘I don’t mean to yell at you. I am sorry that I was the way I was.’ ” Schroff is critical of Nunzie and his abuse, yet still believes he could have been a good father. Maurice seems to unconditionally love his mother, Darcella, and never questions the fact that she loved him. Even though Darcella would shoot up in front of him, “these were the best moments — when his mother found her peace … his mother was happy now and that’s all that mattered to him.”

Schroff and Maurice each had a parent with a vice, but in the end, Darcella got sober and Nunzie didn’t. Throughout his childhood, Maurice’s mother really tried to get sober a few times. I wonder if this makes it easier for Maurice to unconditionally love Darcella. Nunzie never even admitted he had a problem.

When Schroff met her future husband Mi-

chael, it meant Maurice was no longer the only man in her life. How did these relationships each impact the other? (Michael excluding Maurice, etc.)

JS: I wish Schroff had stood up to her husband more. Michael didn’t want Maurice to be in their lives and I found it hard to take that he would want to alienate a person that obviously meant so much to his wife.

I understand how difficult it must have been for Schroff to feel like she was deserting Maurice or choosing her husband over him. I also understand that people make sacrifices and compromises for relationships all the time. And of course hindsight is always 20/20. It’s so easy to say “I wish I had said this or done that” but the reality is she didn’t and it affected her relationship with Maurice. He pulled away when he became a young father (because he didn’t want to disappoint her) and they lost touch for years.

They’ve found each other again though and Schroff visits Maurice and his family often (he has seven children).

#SASKATCHEWAN FOOD TRENDS

Texting: A modern etiquette critique

By Jenn Sharp I’ve worked in restaurants since I was 17 and still work a few weekend shifts. During this time I’ve noticed a change in the way some people eat together and I don’t like it.

I’m sure you’ve seen it — maybe you’ve done it. Two people are out for dinner together. But they hardly speak a word. Why? They’re using their smart phones the entire time.

I’ve seen it so many times. A couple comes in, orders their meals and proceeds to spend the rest of the evening texting, Facebooking, checking email, playing with apps or scrolling through their Twitter feed. It’s ridiculous.

What’s more ridiculous is the fact that people would choose to spend their hard earned dollars on a meal they’re not going to enjoy. Have you seen someone eating while texting? I have and it looks stupid. Not to mention insecure.

The manager of a place I worked at after high school used to meet his wife for an after-work drink (she worked nearby). They rarely talked to each other because he was busy on his phone. She would just sit there and play with the straw in her drink, trying to look like she wasn’t utterly bored.

It’s even worse with kids. I went out for lunch a few weeks ago with a friend. She brought along her preteen daughter who had just received a portable video game for her birthday. Not only did her daughter not say hello to me when I greeted her, she also ignored her mom when asked what she wanted for lunch. When our food arrived she tried to eat it while playing her game. My friend told her to put the game away but the girl refused. A fight ensued. Why did she have her video game at the table in a restaurant in the first place? She was old enough to join our conversation (we directed a few questions her way but got ignored). I realize it was a new toy but there needs to be boundaries on where and when to use it.

The problem is that children seem to be stimulated by electronics of some sort ALL THE TIME. And parents have fallen into the trap of allowing them to be constantly wired. I’ll admit, it’s way easier than fighting or trying to engage them in conversation but is it better?

I’m going to sound old but what kind of a generation are we raising? It’s a generation that goes out for a dinner date just to sit at the table and post to Facebook what restaurant they’re at and who they’re with. How about actually talking to the person you chose to share a meal with? I’m not sure when talking to people at the table became old-fashioned but from what I’ve seen, everyone has his or her cell sitting out. You know, just in case someone more stimulating calls.

What’s even more absurd than the couple texting throughout dinner is watching a large group of people all involved in their phones and completely ignoring one another. What’s the point? Why didn’t you just stay home and save your money?

I’m not going to lie — I love my smart phone and can’t go anywhere without it. But when I’m out to enjoy a nice meal with a friend, I turn the ringer off and I leave it in my bag. I think it’s rude to leave it out on the table (unless you’re expecting an important call, you have a sick kid at home, etc.) The message it sends is this: You’re OK to talk to for now but there’s always the potential of someone better coming along.

The food may be awesome and the conversation stimulating, but it’s no match for a smart phone. qc photo by Andrew Spearin

Garden Tomato Bruschetta If your garden is anything like mine, you’ve got an abundance of tomatoes right now and no way to eat them all before they rot. Bruschetta is a beautiful and easy way to use them — either as an appetizer or a main meal. I don’t always measure out ingredients when I cook, I just add whatever looks right. Adjust this recipe to how many people you’ll feed and your own tastes. Prepared as below, it will feed four as an appetizer or two as a main meal (just add some roast chicken on the side).

Ingredients: > 2 tbsp. Three Farmers Camelina Oil (or olive oil) > 1 tbsp. white wine vinegar > 2 to 3 tbsp. of your favourite pesto > 1 small white onion > 4 to 5 medium sized tomatoes

> 6 to 8 fresh basil leaves > Salt and pepper to taste > ½ cup Parmesan cheese > Small loaf of your favourite bread (I like baguettes or multigrain loaves that can be thinly sliced)

Method: 1. Finely chop the onion and basil. Mix in a bowl with the white wine vinegar and oil.

2. Chop the tomatoes and add to the onion mixture.

3. Add the pesto, salt and pepper. Stir together gently so you don’t crush the tomatoes.

4. Cut bread into small (three bite) portions.

5. Spoon bruschetta onto bread. Top with Parmesan. Bake in 350 oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the bread has turned slightly brown and crusty, but not over-cooked. Enjoy!

Falernia for foodies on a budget

By James Romanow One of the peculiarities of the modern wine industry is the New World wine pioneers used France as their benchmark. The French believed the quality of their wine was due to the varietals. The New World vineyards ended up planting Bordeaux and Burgundy varietals in climates that had about as much in common with the original region as Saskatoon has with Rankin Inlet.

I’ve thought for a long time that places like Australia and California and Chile ought to be experimenting with Italian, Portuguese and Spanish varietals because A: They make great wine, and B: The grapes are less heat sensitive and less water needy.

However when the consumers climbed on board the New World wine train, they were educated to love the French varietals, so there has been remarkably little experimentation in the vineyard. You can imagine my surprise and pleasure when I found a bottle of Sangiovese, the brilliant grape of Chianti in the Chilean section.

Chianti, if you’ve never had the pleasure (poor baby!), is a medium bodied wine, with a slightly lean palate that pairs with just about everything from cocktails on the piazza through pasta, red meats and barbecue. Everything Pinot Noir can do Chianti can do, and usually for significantly less money.

Falernia’s version is a little darker in colour than Italian versions but the bouquet is typical: Dry and slightly earthy. The palate is lean,

crisp, full of fruit and with that nice finish similar to bitter almonds. They’ve rounded the acidity somewhat with ML fermentation which will please most drinkers. (I prefer more angular wines, but I’m a minority.)

In short this is a great deal and a great drinking wine. If you’re a foodie on a budget buy this one.
