How to incorporate art into your garden

NINTH ANNUAL ART IN THE GARDEN SHOW AND SALE Karen Maguire, along with painters Kathleen Slavin and Sylvia Thompson, sculptor James Korpan and photographer John Perret, have been showcasing their artwork in outdoor spaces for several years in Saskatoon. This year they will be host their ninth show and sale.

16 CAMBRIDGE CRESCENT Aug. 16, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Aug. 17, noon to 5 p.m.

Free and open to the public; live entertainment by guitarist Evert Van Olst It’s easy to incorporate artwork into your garden, like these pieces by Saskatoon painter Karen Maguire.

By Erl Svendsen Gardens and art have been closely tied together for centuries.

Gardens are an obvious source of artistic inspiration, with their beautiful flowers and fruits, spectacular or subtle colour combinations, large and grand vistas, along with studies on the interplay of light and shadow.

However, art in the garden can be an overlooked element of design. So says Karen Maguire, one of a group of five artists who use gardens both as their muse and as a natural, outdoor art gallery to display their work.

“Art adds interest to a garden,”

says Maguire.

As a focal point, art can be used to draw attention to a special planting and to draw visitors into a garden along a carefully planned path. It can be used to add height and drama to a space, or to create surprise when art is hidden out of sight, say around a corner.

Interestingly, you can reverse this idea of incorporating art into a garden by using carefully considered plantings to highlight a special piece of art.

This is the case in the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden in Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg or Frogner Park in

PHOTO COURTESY KAREN MAGUIRE

Oslo, Norway, where art is the focus and the plants are the accessories.

Sculpture is the medium that comes first to mind when one thinks of art in a garden, whether it is representational, like a statue of a person or animal, or more modern, abstract art.

Depending on the materials used, sculptures can change little over time. Minimal aging signs of slight erosion or a build-up of a patina (on metal or concrete sculptures) serve as a counterpoint to the constantly evolving garden.

Wood sculptures can be ephemeral in nature, changing dynamically and

dramatically over time. New layer of colour and texture are added as the sculpture grows visibly older and perhaps decays.

Art in the garden isn’t limited to three-dimensional pieces. Maguire hangs paintings in her garden. You can hang art on your fence, a freestanding trellis, gazebo walls or a pergola. And why not? The paintings add colour and interest, and draw the eye above the plant canopy. And like walls, fences and other vertical structures are ideal for hanging.

Fences are used to outline boundaries and can define garden rooms, while creating a sense of privacy

or intimacy. And there’s no need to limit it to paintings — photography works just as well. Maguire brings her artwork in at night and protects it from inclement weather. She advises against exposing it to direct sunlight.

I find the boxing relieves a lot of stress.

It’s a time where, for an hour, you can clear your head. — Michelle Nelson

MICHELLE NELSON

Fighting — inside the ring and out

Boxing champion Michelle Nelson at her gym where she trains, and coaches up and coming boxers is fighting a battle far greater than any she’s faced inside the ring.

By Sean Trembath Michelle Nelson is no quitter.

She has been boxing for 20 years.

She won two national titles as an amateur, and as a pro she’s the Canadian champion in the 118-pound bantamweight division. In her business, toughness is a prerequisite.

“Boxing is a tough sport. You’re not going to survive, and be a champion, if you’re not tough,” Nelson says.

She has learned to appreciate the highs and learn from the lows in the merciless fight game.

“In order to be a champion you have to fight the best people, and sometimes you don’t get the win,” she says.

Nelson has had to face her toughest fight yet over the last 16 months, but it hasn’t taken place in the ring.

Less than a month after she won the Canadian tile, her three-year-old son Dax was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, a set of symptoms related to kidney failure that can be rooted in any of a number of kidney diseases.

BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHELLE BERG

Less than a month after that, Nelson herself was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She beat it, but it required major surgery and a break from training.

Despite all this, she has continued to run Nelson’s Boxing, the non-profit gym she founded with husband Chad Selkirk in Saskatoon.

“It makes it tough for business, and for our family, but we’re just going to keep doing whatever we can,” Nelson says.

Dax is taking chemotherapy now and she knows the fight isn’t over.

She plans to keep doing what she has always done — roll with the punches and keep answering the bell.

I’d kind of done everything, been to every tournament, and there wasn’t looking to be a future in the Olympics, so I decided to take the next step and go pro, — Nelson

■ ■ ■ ■ Nelson was 17 the first time she walked into a boxing gym. It was her parents’ idea. She says it was for fitness, but admits that she used to get a bit scrappy in her neighbourhood.

Boxing was a good place to focus those tendencies.

It wasn’t long before people in the gym saw something in her.

“Even just a couple days in, people were asking if I wanted a fight. I thought, why not try it out?”

John Devison was Nelson’s first coach and trains her to this day. He says he knew within six months that she had the potential to be a champion.

“It’s not just skill. They need the heart. They need the ability to get into a tough boxing match and succeed. It’s just not a matter of skill. You can have a lot of skill and a weak jaw,” Devison says.

Nelson had her first amateur fight just after she turned 18. It was in Prince Albert. She lost a decision. She doesn’t remember the specifics of the fight. She does recall the crowd going wild and the trophy she got when the bout was named fight of the night.

“It was awesome. I enjoyed it. I couldn’t wait for the next one,” she says.

She learned early that a loss can be a valuable experience.

“Whenever you do lose a fight, I think you learn more from it. You want to get back in the ring and redeem yourself,” she says.

Nelson fought as an amateur for 11 years, with more than 60 fights. She was on the national team for much of that time. She might have gone pro sooner, but was holding out hope that female boxing might be allowed into the Olympics. Eventually, with two national titles to her name, the wait became too long.

“I’d kind of done everything, been to every tournament, and there wasn’t looking to be a future in the Olympics, so I decided to take the next step and go pro,” she says.

Her first professional fight was on Sept. 28, 2007 at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton. Nelson says a lot of friends and family made the trip out to support her. She won a unanimous decision.

It’s not just skill. They need the heart. They need the ability to get into a tough boxing match and succeed.

— John Devison

“There’s definitely a different feel to (fighting pro). It’s weird going without the head guard. Amateur is very safe, where in pro, you’re kind of there for entertainment, so it’s a lot different,” she says.

Six fights later, April 4 2013, she got her first shot at a title. She made it count, beating Peggy Maerz of Salmon Arm, B.C., by unanimous decision.

The win was extra special because Devison was there. Nelson she credits him with much of her success.

“We worked for years together to win those titles,” she says.

That was one of the high points of her life. Her son’s diagnosis came less than a month later.

■ ■ ■

■

Dax had been having health problems for awhile. He’d been getting sick often, and doctors didn’t know why.

The diagnosis of Nephrotic Syndrome came on May 1, 2013. It’s not a specific disease, it’s a collection of symptoms that can be caused by a number of kidney diseases, according to the U.S. National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse.

Nelson and her husband barely had time to get a handle on Dax’s diagnosis when she received her own.

“My son being sick was a lot worse, but me being sick was crazy,” Nelson says.

The next year was full of treatment for both of them. The surgery to remove her cancer was successful. She did not have to undergo chemotherapy. A month ago, she was declared cancer-free.

“It was definitely a relief. I guess you still always wonder if the cancer could come back. With that, I’ve kind of told myself I’m not going to worry about it anymore,” she says.

John Devison ties up Michelle Nelson’s glove at her gym where she trains.

If I can take that hour to train, I find it makes me stronger to go back and fight with him, and deal with his status.

— Nelson

The focus now is on Dax. He started showing resistance to the medicine he was being given. Now he is taking chemotherapy, which should hopefully “reset his immune system,” Nelson says. It’s a necessary step, but brings with it further hardships. With chemo weakening his immune system, Dax has to be away from the gym.

“We’re very much a boxing family. My son has been in the gym since

he was a couple days old,” Nelson says.

It also means either she or her husband has to be with Dax. Nelson’s training time is restricted, but it’s as important for her as it has ever been.

“I find the boxing relieves a lot of stress. It’s a time where, for an hour, you can clear your head,” she says.

“If I can take that hour to train, I find it makes me stronger to go back

and fight with him, and deal with his status.”

■ ■ ■ ■ On top of Nelson’s own career, she and Selkirk train about 140 people at the gym. Most of them are there only for fitness, but some of her younger fighters are getting ready to compete on the national stage.

“She’s really good as a coach. She has taught us a lot,” 18-year-old No-

lan McKay says.

“Basically, she’s taught me everything I know. I don’t really know anything else, other than boxing.”

As he gears up for nationals, McKay takes inspiration from knowing Nelson has succeeded at that level.

“She motivates us a lot, because we see what she has accomplished.

It makes us realize anyone can do it.

She’s a small girl, but she did it, so we can,” he says.

Isabelle Elliot has been at Nelson’s for only three months — she spent four years at another gym that recently closed — but she already feels at home.

“I was really nervous at first, but now I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else,” Elliot says.

Being able to train under another female has been a boon for the 17-year-old.

Michelle Nelson would like to help someone reach a career goal that has eluded her — competing in women’s boxing at the Olympics. BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHELLE BERG

“I think it’s actually a lot cooler to have a woman coach. At my old gym, I was the only woman. Coming here, it’s been really good to spar with girls, and have a girl coach as well who you can go to with other things,” she says.

Working with younger fighters has helped Nelson with her own game.

“I think coaching definitely helps with fighting. You look at it from a different perspective.

Then sometimes when you’re doing your own training, you think of it more as a coach,” she says.

In some ways, watching ringside is tougher than being in there taking the shots.

“When people are fighting, you want to be in there. You go through the same emotions coaching as fighting. Your heart is in there with your fighters,” Nelson says.

With women’s boxing finally becoming an Olympic sport in London two years ago, Nelson has a new goal to chase. She hopes to help someone reach the one career goal that has eluded her.

“I’m hoping to have a future women’s Olympian out of this gym. That’s definitely a goal,” she says. strembath@thestarphoenix.com twitter.com/strembath

READ MY BOOK #

LO CA L AUT H O RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

LY N D O N P E N N E R

The Prairie Short Season Yard I think writing a book was inevitable.

I was a highly inquisitive child and I drove my mother and grandmother nuts with my incessant questions about everything. My grandma, in her wisdom, taught me how to use an encyclopedia. That way, I could find the answers to my questions by myself. Little did she realize this would not only feed my burning desire to know as much as I could about the world around me, but also help foster a mad love for books and the written word.

Libraries were the first place outside of the garden that I felt safe.

They were the fortress in which I sought sanctuary.

As a child, I developed a passion

for two things — gardening and books. I read everything I could get my hands on, and I became acquainted with great garden writers through the ages. I marvelled at their works and thrilled to their adventures.

Over the pages of books, I travelled with Frank Kingdon-Ward through the land of the blue poppy.

Gertrude Jekyl taught me about colour.

I found writers like Anna Pavord (who made the tulip come alive for me like no one ever had). I was initially outraged by the rather rude and abrupt opinions of Christopher Lloyd.

If I’m not reading, I’m in the garden. If I’m not in the garden, I’m

writing about gardening, either for my blog, for a class I’m teaching, or for a client. It seems like it was always my garma (garden related karma) to write a gardening book.

I have gardened on three continents. I have observed, experimented, trialed, succeeded and failed with gardens in both temperate and sub-tropical climates. I have swooned over magnolias in Vancouver and fallen under the spell of Mexican bougainvillea. Still, I always come home to the Prairies.

I am a Prairie boy through and through. I don’t want to live anywhere else. I don’t want to garden anywhere else. We have a short season. We have only a short time to experience the wonder of a north-

ern climate summer. I am proud to be a gardener and especially proud to be a gardener here. That’s why I wrote The Short Season Yard — if I can illuminate the path for just one Prairie person to find their way to a love of gardening, than I’ve done what I’m supposed to do.

Yoga lovers embraced the outdoors during a four-hour event in Rotary Park on Aug. 9.

Yogathon Saskatoon featured yoga classes, live music by Vladimir Yatsina, Elizabeth Bekolay & Jordan Shultz, and Jesse Davis, and a lot of positive vibes.

The event was free but donations were gladly accepted for Vinyasa Yoga For Youth and the Kayden Kot Medical Fund. Approximately $1,500 was raised for the two causes.

Vinyasa Yoga For Youth empowers youth aged five to 22 through the practice of yoga at in-school workshops, after-school and youth programs, and at weekend retreats. Kayden Kot is a young boy in Saskatoon with severe oral feeding problems that required specialized treatment and a long stay at a hospital in the United States.

ASK ELLIE

Relationships require agreed approaches to problems Q. My fiancée can’t have children, we know that definitely now. My father took me aside and said I need to re-think the future, as this could be a deal-breaker, if not now then later.

I love this woman and am very conflicted. We care deeply for each other, respect each other, can discuss anything, and also have terrific times together, even when just hanging out.

I know there are options, but they won’t produce “our” child, which is what I want most.

Can we survive this blow and still have a happy life? We both have good careers so will always work, we’re keen tennis players and enjoy playing together, both love to travel, and also have a good circle of friends.

Deal-Breaker?

A. There are, of course, countless couples who do not have children who have very happy and have healthy relationships.

Generally, either both parties started out with a stated preference and agreement to be childless, or both can’t have kids for various reasons. OR, one partner decided that he/she would rather be with the chosen, beloved partner, than leave.

He/she has decided to build on the love and compatibility already known and shared, than just hope to one day find someone with whom they can have a child and maybe be happy.

Your father was being naturally protective of you to say that you need to think about this.

But it’s not about whether you’d feel guilty to leave. Rather, think about whether this woman is the love of your life and the companion with whom you want to spend your life.

If the latter, you may both one day be more comfortable to consider adopting a baby or child into a happy, loving home. Or, you may find it acceptable for you to father a child through assisted reproduction, e.g. a donor womb (something you’d need to research in your locale).

Or, you may contribute to many children’s lives by being involved through coaching, mentoring, and/or Big Brothers of Canada.

Q. I love this guy who’s never going to marry me. He had a son with a girlfriend, and is a very responsible father even though the mother is now living with someone else.

He supports his son, and feels that marriage is just too risky of money and emotions (his parents had a messy divorce).

But he says he loves me and we get along great. We’re both late-30, I’ve been divorced,

Ask Ellie

have no children, but I’m close with my sister’s children. I’ve met his son who’s 11 now, and he’s a good kid.

Unwed A. In all relationships, there are risks. And love is certainly worth considering which risks you can handle.

If you can accept a common-law arrangement, or even a long-term dating relationship from separate homes, you have the guy you love, without a wedding ring.

Common-law relationships do have some legal rights after a period of time together (depending on your jurisdiction), unless a co-habitation agreement spells out separate assets.

So you may not have financial security without you and he coming to some agreement.

If those issues aren’t bothering you, you can be happy in this relationship. The unknown factor is this: for how long?

The answer can only come from you, depending on your emotional and financial needs, and potential changes ahead that can affect you, him, or the arrangement.

Q. My wife’s a beautiful, intelligent woman whom I love dearly, but it’s taken 10 years to be able to say we have a good relationship.

We were very much in love when we married, and had kids right away. That’s when our differences really started to show.

I was used to children being raised to be polite and in the background; she believed kids are front and centre stage.

We’ve each compromised and agree on most things about the kids, which has helped us become a solid, happy family.

Family-man A. No two people come together with exactly the same attitudes.

But having firm common values is your strength.

It’ll keep you adapting as the kids grow into years of seeking independence and testing you both.

That’s when you need to compromise on other areas of difference.

And find other ways to bond, e.g. new and revived goals for enjoying your own relationship as a couple.

RECIPES

Spicy-sweet tomato jam and cheese-stuffed tomatoes

By Alison Ladman Slice ‘em and salt ‘em.

That’s really all a seasonally delicious tomato needs. Though if you really want to gussy it up, you could add a bit of pepper, a splash of olive oil, maybe a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar. Just enough of each to highlight the sweetly acidic flavour of the juicy tomato flesh.

Still, summer tends to bring an abundance of tomatoes so we couldn’t help but dream up a few other ways to play to a tomato’s strengths. We started by turning them into a spicy-sweet jam that is a perfect accompaniment to cheeses and cured meats or try it in place of ketchup. Looking for something a bit more robust? Try our recipe for cheese-stuffed tomatoes.

SPICY-SWEET TOMATO JAM Start to finish: 1 hour, plus cooling

Makes 3 cups > 8 large tomatoes, diced > 2 large yellow onions, diced > 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes > 3/4 cup packed brown sugar > 1 teaspoon kosher salt > 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper > 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary > 2 cloves garlic, minced > 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar Method: In a large saute pan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 hour, or until thick and jammy. Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

CHEESE-STUFFED TOMATOES Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 > 1 tablespoon olive oil > 1 medium yellow onion, diced > 2 cloves garlic, minced

Spicy sweet tomato jam grilled cheese.

> 1 teaspoon ground coriander > 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (about 3 slices bread, finely chopped in a food processor) > 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese > 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt > 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper > 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro > 4 large tomatoes

Method: 1. Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a 9-by-9inch baking pan with cooking spray.

2. In a medium skillet over mediumhigh, heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic and coriander. Cook for 5 minutes, or just until tender. Stir in the breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, pepper and cilantro.

3. Cut a 1/2 inch slice off the top of each tomato. Use a melon baller to

scoop out the insides of the tomato, leaving the outer flesh intact. Spoon a quarter of the cheese mixture into each tomato. Arrange the filled tomatoes in the prepared pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender and bubbly.

Patti Rodgers started the culinary tour business, the first of its kind in the province, after trying similar tours in Scottsdale, Ariz., last winter. A retired principal, she came home and got the ball rolling. TasteIt Food Tours started up in Moose Jaw this summer, with tours coming soon in Regina and Saskatoon.

She saw Moose Jaw as the perfect place to begin the tours. The city, which started as a railroad town in 1882, has a fascinating history and most of the restaurants are in the walkable downtown area.

The three-hour tour stops for about 25 minutes at each place, where eateries serve a signature dish in a smaller tasting size, plus a drink. The tours can accommodate up to 16 people and can be booked for private groups, as well.

To book a tour, go to www.tasteitfoodtours.ca. Tour prices range from $59 to $79 and run until the end of September.

A Cathedral Village luncheon tour and Queen City downtown dinner tour will start the week of Aug. 17. Rodgers hopes to have tours running in Saskatoon before the season ends.

OLIV TASTING ROOM Oliv’s tasting room, the brainchild of Moose Jaw physician Awie du Toit and his wife Isabeau, is a sight to behold. The flagship location stocks all of the company’s 60-plus olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Oliv franchises are located throughout Canada.

The balsamic vinegar is dark brown and thick, almost like syrup. That’s because Oliv’s vinegars contain a high percentage of grape

Oliv began in Moose Jaw and is now located in 16 other locations across Canada.

must (the juice and skins left over after pressing grapes for wine). The dark balsamic is aged in oak barrels, while the white balsamic is aged in stainless steel barrels. Full of flavour and with virtually no fat or sugar, the vinegar is a healthy alternative to heavy sauces or dressings.

The olive oil is sourced from the couple’s olive groves in South Africa, along with partnerships they have with farmers in Greece and elsewhere. Try out the butter flavour on popcorn or the bacon oil on grilled veggies.

HOPKINS DINING PARLOUR The slogan here, “a dining adventure into yesteryear,” is fitting, as Hopkins transports diners back to the Victorian era. The building was originally a grand house built by Edward Hopkins in 1905.

The Pierce family turned the house into a restaurant 35 years ago. Owner Glady Pierce says they were the first spot in Saskatchewan to serve chicken wings.

The gem of Hopkins is the Top of the Parlour room on the third floor. Large south-facing windows bathe the room in light and mir-

rors line one wall. Shut off from the rest of the facility, it’s a great place to throw a party. Hopkins is known for their prime rib and classic fine dining fare — we tried an appetizer sampler of Greek ribs, buffalo chicken wings, potato skins, Caesar salad and calamari. I would go back for the homemade tzatziki alone — it’s that good.

SHARP EATS GRANT HALL Built in 1928, Grant Hall was the place to be in the ’30s. In fact, Moose Jaw was the place to be in that era, too. Al Capone’s famous tunnels helped Canadian whiskey make its way to prohibition-era Chicago, and that same whiskey supplied the city with ample libations. Frivolity reigned supreme in the bars on River Street.

While Grant Hall was not officially a CPR hotel, it was modelled after other grand CPR hotels of the time, and hosted a number of celebrities and royal guests.

The building later became home to various tenants. By 1989, it had become an eyesore and home for pigeons. Verna Alford, a Regina furniture store owner, bought it for $1, and in 2001 began an extensive renovation project with her brothers Alvin and Erwin Beug.

The new Grant Hall dining room opened in 2013 to the public, and the boutique hotel opened earlier a few months ago.

We were served an incredibly fresh spring greens salad with grilled pineapple, roasted red peppers, spring onions, and Mediterranean style marinated mussels and calamari. A glass of The Wolftrapp’s Viognier Chenin Blanc blend provided the perfect balance to the sweet pineapple and salty mussels. Plus, we were seated in a grand room with high ceilings, a twinkling chandelier and ornate furnishings, which made it all the better.

CORDOVA BISTRO The Mediterranean themed restaurant, where the smells of garlic, bread and tomatoes waft through the air, has been a mainstay in Moose Jaw for years. Two years ago, the executive chef Shane Caron and his wife Rebecca bought the business.

A tasting plate of Caesar salad and Spaghetti Sicilian was finished off with a pork medallion topped with caramelized onions.

While the salad and spaghetti were fine, the pork was a tad overcooked and a little too sweet. An overly sweet cocktail was a puzzling match for the meal.

BOBBY’S PLACE OLDE WORLD TAVERN Bobby, a Scotsman who immigrated to Canada, always wanted to own a Scottish pub on the Prairies. While he never got the chance, his daughter Monica and her husband Kevin opened the pub, named for her dad, on High Street in Moose Jaw. A large mural of Bobby and his wife graces the outside wall, paying homage to their Scottish ancestry.

Known for having the best fish ’n chips in Moose Jaw, the delicately battered cod and

home-cut fries did not disappoint. The staff is friendly, plus they stock over 40 brands of single malt and blended scotches — what’s not to love about Bobby’s Place?

DÉJÀ VU CAFÉ This pretty little café, owned by Tammy and Brandon Richardson, was featured on You Gotta Eat Here last year and for good reason — you won’t find more ice cream or wing flavours anywhere else. The huge

chicken fingers and homestyle milkshakes are the stuff of legends.

Our tour got to try a sampling plate of deep-fried morsels: Mars Bars, cheesecake and bananas. Really, when you deep fry anything, it’s going to be good but the gooey Mars Bar chocolate oozing out of a crispy dough pocket was the best. jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

BLUEGRASS TRIO

New generation, old sound

By Ashley Martin Oh goodbye booze, forever more My boozing days will soon be o’er When Jaxon Lalonde introduced Goodbye Booze to an audience last month, he admitted he doesn’t know much about alcohol addiction firsthand. Which is a good thing. He is only 16, after all.

It’s a good bet his bandmates are ignorant of the subject too. But they sure sound good harmonizing about it.

Lalonde, Ellen Froese-Kooijenga (18) and Kasia Thorlakson (16) make up In With the Old, a bluegrass trio based in Saskatoon.

This week marks their first anniversary — they decided to form a band at last year’s Northern Lights Bluegrass Festival, with a bit of prodding by Thorlakson.

“I had been bugging Jaxon for a couple months prior to camp that we should start a band or jam or do something,” said Thorlakson.

“I’d been playing solo for a year and playing by yourself, you can tell there’s something missing, like you need more sound, it just didn’t feel like enough I guess. I really wanted a band and I knew I wanted a bluegrass band, and I knew Jaxon from camp, I knew how good he was of a banjo player so I struck him up in conversation.”

They jammed at camp, and FroeseKooijenga stumbled upon them. The rest is history.

“Kasia, she asked me if I wanted to start a band and I was like ‘well sure,’” said Froese-Kooijenga, the band’s primary songwriter. “I’m always looking for people to play with.”

Toronto band The Foggy Hogtown Boys, performing at the 2011 Northern Lights, inspired Thorlakson to start a bluegrass band.

“It was just so awesome when I watched them and just the way the harmonies sounded ... They’d all back off and then one guy would walk up and do a solo and then

they’d keep going and it was never just about one person, it was about the whole band,” said Thorlakson.

“In bluegrass you learn who everybody is and everybody is respected for what they do.”

The music camp that precedes the festival is where this trio learned its chops.

Lalonde has attended Northern Lights since its foundation in 2006, and decided four years ago he wanted to take up the banjo.

Of the available courses at the OldTime Music Camp, “I thought banjo was kind of the coolest one; so many people play guitar and fiddle and

stuff and I thought banjo would be kind of unique,” said Lalonde.

His counterparts have mixed it up at camp.

Thorlakson has learned vocal harmony, guitar and banjo over the past four years. Froese-Kooijenga has studied vocal harmony twice. They both opted for mandolin this year.

“I’ve been teaching myself; I got my mandolin for dummies book out of the library and did that,” said Froese-Kooijenga.

While Lalonde “was pretty much raised on that type of music since I was seven or eight or something,” his bandmates were not so lucky.

Thorlakson’s introduction to bluegrass music came from a poster at the Nesslin Lake campground store advertising Northern Lights “I always just thought it was old country,” said Thorlakson. “I had known some of the artists and I didn’t even know it was bluegrass I was listening to.”

“I had never even listened to bluegrass before then,” said FroeseKooijenga, who learned of the camp through her mom’s Google search.

This will be her third year attending.

Being a band has presented some challenges, given that Thorlakson

lives a two-hour drive in Kinistino and doesn’t yet have her driver’s licence.

When they can get together to practise, it’s usually a marathon session prior to a gig.

Luckily there’s Facebook.

They post new songs to their private page and give each other homework in terms of solos and instrumentation.

Their experience with long distance will come in handy as FroeseKooijenga heads to MacEwen University this fall to begin music studies. amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

There are about a dozen wines in the world that are must-tries for any aspiring wino.

Most folks get around quite quickly to the great French wines — Bordeaux (left and right banks), Burgundy, Chablis and Chateauneuf.

But Italy makes some absolutely must-tries too, and for some reason it takes people longer to discover these.

I’ve been a fan of Italy’s Piemonte since my first sip. Barolo is close to a cult wine for people like me — a good one starts around $50. Dolcetto is a fruity inexpensive table wine from the area. But the wine that seems to have the broadest appeal is Barbera.

Wine snobs once sniffed at it as vino tavolo, but in the last three decades some extraordinary Barbera has been made. A crisp acidity and decent fruitiness make for a medium bodied and extremely likable wine.

Lately, some makers have been letting the grapes ripen longer, striving for more powerful examples. I tend to buy the more common and less expensive wines because they are so drinkable. (Although I admit to chasing Barbera d’Alba, a sub-denomination that has some lovely examples and can give the best wines in the world a run.)

SLGA recently listed a Barbera from Fontanafredda. If you’re seeking a really nice red wine that can go with anything, from your cock-

tail hour through to your after-dinner cheese, this should be on your short list. The palate is mostly dark fruit like plums and blackberries, although there is some spice — pepper, cinnamon and cloves — in the bouquet.

If you turn into a Barbera fan, you’ll also want to hunt down the Sandhill Barbera from B.C. Saskatoon Co-op carries it, but there aren’t many bottles in the province.
