1973 Pontiac Trans AM

Entrepreneur plans ambitious winter restoration

By Andrew Matte For the last decade, Regina’s J.J. Grohs has been searching for his dream car. And this summer, he found it.

After lots of research, he discovered this 1973 Trans Am for sale in Miami in June.

After it was shipped to Regina, he drove it around the city occasionally while he planned his next move.

Now that the snow has fallen, Grohs, 34, has begun restoring it to showroom condition.

He plans to dismantle the entire vehicle, replace what’s broken and rebuild whatever components need repairing.

It helps that Grohs, owner of National Auto Collision Centre in Regina, has more than a little experience tinkering with vehicles.

Q: When the car arrived in Regina, did you drive it a lot?

A: I only drive it once in a while. I bought the car from a place in Miami in the beginning of the summer. I have

been looking for one for about 10 years.

Q: What kind is it exactly?

A: It’s a 1973 Trans Am with a 455 V8.

Q: Why do you like it so much?

A: I have always just wanted one. Between 1970 and 1973, they only have that specific front end. It’s got its own totally different shape to it.

Q: How tricky was it to locate?

A: It wasn’t the easiest to find. I

wanted one that was rust free.

And I wanted to find a car that had the original engine and the original transmission and all the other parts.

Q: What’s the mileage?

A: It has a 112,000 miles on it.

Q: And that’s not very much for a car that old, right?

A: That’s right.

Q: Do you know what the colour is called?

A : Yes. It’s called Buccan-

eer Red.

Q: What are you going to do to it this winter?

A: Basically, everything is going to come off the car. It’s going to come completely apart.

Every bolt will be out of it. I will get the engine done by somebody else but I am going to do everything else on it. I am going to put an all-new interior in it — the original vinyl. I am going to rebuild the transmission. Basically, it will be like a brand-new car

when I’m done with it. I think that it will be worth about $60,000 when I’m done. And that’s what I want.

Q: Don’t you love the car’s current condition?

A: It is definitely unique the way it is. But I want it to be like a brand-new car. I want it to look like it just came out of the showroom.

Q: Are you going to paint it?

A: The paint will be identical to what it is now.

Parkade roof offers spectacular view of city

By Andrew Matte Cody Jodison spends a lot of time travelling around the city helping his fellow citizens as a paramedic. When he isn’t at work during the summer, he’s riding around on his motorcycle.

Occasionally, whether he’s alone or riding with friends, he ventures over to his favourite place in Regina — the top of a downtown parkade.

Q: Where is this parkade that you’re so fond of?

A: It’s on Rose Street right at the corner of 12th Avenue. It’s a private parking lot.

Q: Why do you like it?

A: On the very top floor, if you go at night, there is a phenomenal view of Regina. You can see out to the refinery. You can also see out to the east end of the city — all the way out to the end of town. You can see all of the lights.

Q: Wouldn’t most people assume a better view of Regina would be from somewhere higher?

A: You’d think so. But you can also see all the other high-rises in the area. Because you’re not so high up, it makes you feel like you’re still in the downtown area. You feel like you’re a part of downtown because of all the other buildings beside it.

Q: So the view to the west isn’t very good then?

A: Half of your view is wide open for the most part. And the other half, you feel like you’re up against the rest of the buildings. It feels like you are a part of the skyline.

Q: Which way do you need to look to get the best view?

A: It all depends on what you want. At the south end of the garage at the very top, there’s a little rest point. So when we’re on our bikes, we’ll wind up there and have a break and catch our breath for a little bit and hang out there for a couple of minutes.

Q: How did you discover this place?

A: We were looking for different places to ride on our motorcycles. And we just stumbled on this one by accident.

Q: Is the view better at night?

A: Night time is the best time to go. During the day, it’s still a cool view. But at night is best.

Q: How long have you been visiting this place?

A: I have been going there for four or five years.

In the summer, we usually go once a week.

Q: Do you go alone or with other people?

A: It all depends. Often, there are a group of people there. But other times, if I’m riding solo, I’ll be there by myself.

Q: How long is a typical visit?

A: I usually stay up there for 10 minutes or so.

It’s a good place to hang out for a few minutes.

There’s nobody up there to bother you.

Q: What time are you usually there?

A: I don’t know if you’re technically supposed to be up there. But it’s usually at midnight or at 1 a.m. when we go. The bikes can go around the arms.

Q: Do you always ride your bike there?

A: I’ll take my truck once in a while just to mix it up, And I think it costs me two bucks for half an hour. So you can go up there any time you want.

American kitties adjusting to life in Regina

By Ashley Martin Karen Morley’s two cats have travelled almost as much as she has.

Eleven years ago Morley, now the host of Access7’s City Sleuth show, was living in San Diego when a nearby city’s animal shelter burned down. “They were making a plea to the community. At the time I wasn’t travelling much ... so I picked them up in Escondido,” said Morley of her two cats, Punkin and Bear.

Shortly thereafter, Morley, who worked in the software industry, got a job in Seattle. “They moved to Seattle with me, then we moved to D.C. and then we moved to Atlanta.

They’ve got more air miles than a lot of people.”

During one of her trips without the cats about three years ago, Morley was visiting her future husband Michael Schlosser in Regina when they got some bad news: Morley had stage 3B anal cancer. She was immediately put through surgery and aggressive treatments of chemotherapy and radiation, and was held up in Regina for several months. Her cats were still in Atlanta.

Q: Who took care of the cats while you were ill?

A: I had my friend going in and checking on (them) and making sure (they) had food.

I travelled a lot so it was actually easier to have a cat door ... that way they had a little free access. It’s a good thing because that way when I got stuck up here for a couple of months at least (they could get out of the house) ... They just quit using the litter box because they were outside.

Q: How did the cats get to Regina?

A: (After about three months, Michael) went down there to pick them up. I sent him and his dad because each person can only bring one cat back in a carrier and they couldn’t catch Bear. She’s very, very skittish and after being on her own for a while she had kind of reverted to feral, so

actually after I got done treatment I went down to get her in June (2010).

My friend was still taking care of her but she was like a wild cat.

When Mike went to pick up Punkin she howled the whole way.

Bear, when I got her through security, she was so afraid. She went nuts and she tore open my hand. I was bleeding all over the place; she was hiding underneath the X-ray

machine.

Q: How have they adapted to life here?

A: They don’t like winter. They don’t like the snow, because most places I’ve lived don’t have cold. And Seattle even, it gets cold but it doesn’t snow.

This is only their second winter here. Last year it was quite an awak-

ening for them. Once it gets a little colder, they’ll go to the back door and they won’t even go outside so I won’t even bother opening the door, once it gets cold enough that they can feel it.

And I’m afraid too because cats can get frostbite here so easily. They don’t like wet paws and they don’t like snow.

Q: You said earlier that Punkin was there for you during your cancer

treatment — how so?

A: There was so much pain and the burning from the radiation that I mostly laid on the couch because it was soft ... and Punkin would know when I wasn’t feeling well. She’d come up and she’d lay on my stomach and still if I’m sick, (Michael) knows because she comes up and she’s Velcro kitty. She’s really sweet; she’s really attentive.

People are getting a lot of experience having two brains to pick. – Angie Evans

pregnancy

In labour and birth, doulas are a woman’s best friend

By Ashley Martin Karen Herriot isn’t afraid to brag about her photography skills.

“I’m an excellent photographer.

If you can get the picture of the first time the mom and the dad both have their hands on the baby or something, click. Or the baby’s head’s coming out and the baby’s head turns and the baby opens up its eyes but it’s not out of the body yet —” she said excitedly, describing her efforts at the dozens of births for which she’s been present.

“It doesn’t always work. There’s a lot of improvisation along the way,” added Angie Evans, Herriot’s friend and partner at the most recent of these births.

Improvisation is a key word when it comes to labour and delivery, and this duo knows better than most.

Herriot and Evans are doulas — they work to support pregnant women before, during and after births.

They’re not midwives — they don’t deliver the babies — but they offer non-medical support to the woman, who in ways can, oddly enough, be overlooked during childbirth.

“It’s not because the midwife or the doctor or the nurse aren’t doing their job; they’re all doing their job and it’s just physically impossible to always have someone who’s just looking after the mom. With a doula, we’re just looking after the woman,” said Herriot. “In the olden days, it used to be called a labour coach, but that made it seem like birth was a sporting event.”

•••• Being a doula was a calling for Herriot and Evans.

“It kind of chooses us. I don’t know that many intelligent people would say ‘I want to work where the phone rings at 4 a.m. on a regular basis,’” said Evans.

“And I’m on call for weeks on end,” added Herriot.

“And I can’t go out of town,” said Evans. “That’s one of the reasons we work together because we have

families and we love our work. But if I want to go away for a weekend — any doula, not just me — or even go away for a whole afternoon, we’re always on call. We’re on call for clients two weeks before their due date until they have their baby, which is potentially a month for every client.”

It’s for this reason that when they met last year, after Evans moved to Regina from Canmore, Alta., the two decided to work together in a

shared-care model. It’s working well for them and the clients.

“People are getting a lot of experience having two brains to pick,” said Evans, who is a master herbalist. They both practise yoga and Herriot teaches a pre-natal yoga class for partners. Both areas of expertise can benefit a woman during pregnancy and birth.

Herriot’s work as a doula started 25 years ago. She had a doula at the birth

of her first child (daughter Kate, now 26) and loved it because the doula gave her more time, and therefore support, than any medical professional could.

“The doctor’s appointments were maybe seven minutes if I was lucky, and when I met with my doula, we’d talk for an hour and a half,” said Herriot, a mother of four.

Thereafter, her friends started asking Herriot to attend their births because they needed that moral support.

“A lot of my friends had first births that I would say were traumatic, horrific experiences,” said Herriot, who now trains other doulas.

Evans had a similar experience.

About 10 years ago, she was managing a health store and working as an herbalist and holistic nutritionist, but people kept inviting her to births. She finally had to choose which profession to commit to.

When she looks at us and says ‘I can’t do this anymore, this is so hard,’ we look back at her believing that she’s strong and mirror back her strength that she’s forgotten. – Karen Herriot

Between the two of them, Herriot and Evans have more than 30 years of experience and have witnessed more than 300 births.

“We’ve seen 10-pound babies ooze out like toothpaste with no tear. A 10-pound baby came out, perineum intact,” said Herriot.

That’s what a doula can do — they prepare a woman so well that childbirth isn’t a dreadful, painful experience. “Our goal is birth satisfaction,” said Herriot. “How is a child eased into the world? Well guess what, it can happen. It’s not about tearing and blood and screaming. There’s other ways.”

Herriot knows this well: Her daughter Sage, now 20, was born at home on the kitchen floor because the labour progressed so effortlessly that they didn’t make it to the hospital in time.

“She didn’t hit the floor, so that was good,” said Herriot, for whom a positive affirmation led to that painless birth.

“A lot of women repeat ‘I hope it’s not too scary, I hope I can deal with the pain,’ and it’s not serving us because it’s negative and not really empowering,” she explained.

Herriot repeated the mantra, “You deserve to give birth with ease,” before that birth with the result that “I had an hour-and-a-half labour and it didn’t ever hurt, it just squeezed and it was intense but there wasn’t pain.”

•••• Herriot puts childbirth into perspective: If a woman is afraid or uncomfortable, her labour is probably going to reflect that.

“We’re mammals, and if your pet cat or something didn’t feel safe or was moved to a different setting in labour, their labour would probably slow down because they just didn’t feel safe,” said Herriot. “It basically just negates all the coping hormones, so we’re watching that the woman feels loved and supported and safe.

“There’s lots of transitions in labour and then they meet a nurse that they have to get to know quickly, and then their doctor may or may not

ly happy to pass on the other doulas’ phone numbers,” said Evans.

be there because there’s rotations.

There’s so many unknowns that hiring a doula and coming into a relationship with a doula gives them a sense of control.”

Doulas are there for every aspect of birth. They meet mothers prenatally, are there during labour, birth and immediate postpartum, then follow up with the family later. They spend hours and hours offering support to families in person, via email and phone, whether it’s offering expertise about stretching and nutrition or just answering basic questions.

“Birth is kind of mysterious in our culture and people don’t really know what goes on,” said Evans.

If a baby is breach, doulas can offer solutions like yoga, acupuncture and chiropractic that can help turn the baby around.

“Instead of feeling like they have

no options and they have no control, which is a frightening place for a modern, intelligent woman to be — we want to be in control and active in our care — and we just make sure people have the information to make good choices,” said Herriot.

Since it’s a close relationship,

women might interview several doulas to choose one to fit them and their family.

“We don’t get territorial. In some other businesses where I’ve worked, people really want that client. We want our clients but only if we’re the right fit for them and we’re real-

The two women get excited when asked why a woman should hire a doula when she might have a husband, mother or sister to support her during labour.

“We love this question,” said Evans.

“As much as we love our clients, we’re not emotionally attached, so that’s a big difference. Some moms are awesome supports in labour to their daughters and others are so stressed out. They stress out that labouring mama,” she said.

Men especially, “When they see her experiencing the intensity of the contractions or the surges, when they see her in what they term as suffering or pain and they just can’t think of any way to help, they end up feeling quite frightened and they feel useless,” said Herriot.

Birth puts lots of pressure on men, added Evans. “It’s kind of like getting them to coach a soccer team when they’ve never seen a game. It’s not a realistic expectation. They’ve never had a menstrual cramp,” said Evans. “It’s amazing how much dad support we do.”

Evans said men tend to be more connected to their partner when there’s a doula present, looking into her eyes and touching more.

“We’re there to help with positions, the feelings of safety and helping labour move along, comfort measures such as massage or essential oils or just the right words to say,” said Evans.

When a woman in labour feels tired or frustrated, the doulas are experts and can reassure her that “it’s the intensity of your uterus working, so when she looks at us and says ‘I can’t do this anymore, this is so hard,’ we look back at her believing that she’s strong and mirror back her strength that she’s forgotten,” said Herriot.

“As doulas we learn how to be with women witnessing and we know that she’s strong enough to do it.”

Doulas know hospital staff. For a home birth, they become familiar with the woman’s home. They learn something new at every birth.

•••• You don’t have to have a perfect, natural birth to employ a doula, said Evans — in any birth circumstance a doula can be valuable.

“Sometimes when there’s an epidural it’s really nice to have birth support because other people kind of forget that she’s in labour for one thing, or we can help with slight position changes,” said Evans.

When the birth doesn’t go as planned, a doula can help. For example, if a couple plans for an epidural but the labour progresses too quickly that an epidural isn’t possible, they can help talk the woman through this change.

“There’s different ways to have an unplannedfor experience in birth,” said Evans.

Herriot says research shows there is a benefit to having a compassionate witness — it turns the birth room into something like a sacred space.

Even before the birth, doulas’ work seems to hold weight. Their clients can be so mentally prepared for birth that sometimes women arrive to the hospital seven to 10 centimetres dilated, ready to have the baby.

“The nurses are like, ‘OK, these doula clients, what’s going on?’ We’re trying to change some of the narratives around birth,” said Herriot. “If you drop into labour land, into the zone, it can be pleasant.

“The last birth we were at, the woman is just flying. I don’t think she could sleep for over a day, she was so high on the birth. It was hard and she worked, but she’s blissed out, just the

DOULAS’ TIPS FOR A MEMORABLE BIRTH With more than 300 births under their belt, Evans and Herriot have lots of ideas about how to create a satisfying birth experience. One is to remind women that births can be fun.

“You’re allowed to laugh in birth, most people don’t know that, and laughter helps the stress hormones go down and the endorphins, painkillers, go up. It helps keep labour moving,” said Evans. “We’re not comedians, we don’t tell jokes, but if someone has a really funny partner, he might think he’s not allowed to be himself in labour because it’s a serious event, but we’re like ‘no, you can laugh.’”

Little things, like discovering the sex of the baby yourself, without the doctor or nurse being the first to announce it, can make for a memorable experience. Some people play music, or bring beverages and birthday cake and make the baby’s birth a birthday party.

It’s about taking away the idea that women have to ask permission to do things they want during their labour.

“Dream for the birth that you want,” said Herriot. “Allow yourself to dream.”

hormones of the whole experience, so she’s fuelled by a wonderful, satisfying birth.”

Memories like that stick with Herriot and Evans, who maintain contact with many of their clients.

“We kind of feel like godmothers,” said Herriot. “It’s nice.”

Themed kids rooms add personal touch to home

By Jenn Sharp Growing up, Jen Miller’s mom always made her bedroom feel like a special place, an escape from the rest of the house for her daughter. Now Jen is all grown up and has two young ones of her own — Jada and Jordan. Jada’s pink and black room inspires creativity, while Jordan’s pays homage to one of his idols: Michael Jackson.

WHO?: Jen and her husband Jason Miller, and their two children Jada (4) and Jordan (7).

WHAT?: Jada and Jordan both have unique bedrooms that highlight their personal tastes.

WHEN?: The family moved to Warman about two years ago from Lumsden.

HOW?: “(Jada’s) room was a brown and red office when we moved in. I saw this bedspread online, from Pottery Barn Kids. This was before they shipped to Canada so I ordered it to my friends in the States and they sent it to me. Everything took off from there. Garage sale stuff, Home Sense clearance, I made a lot of it. We just added as we found stuff. I spray painted the flowers. I bought extra sheets to match the bedspread and turned it into things. I was lucky enough to go to Home Sense one day and they had all the polka-dot storage containers.

“Jada loves it. She keeps telling people she has a pink and black room. They’re odd colours but it looks great. We decided to do a bigger bed for her because at this stage they want to lay with you and read stories at night. Now she’s into Hello Kitty so you’ll see lots of that around.

“Jordan’s room started when Michael Jackson passed away. When This Is It came out we had to get it because I was a big fan. My son watched it I can’t even tell you how many hundreds of times. One day he got up and danced along. He knew the moves; he knew the words to the song.

So This Is It totally changed his life. From then on he was a huge fan. He’s kinda getting out of it now which is breaking my heart. He was very much about dancing in front of people and showing his moves but now he’s getting more subdued.

When we went to the Michael Jackson Cirque de Soleil they both dressed up. They had their socks and their glove and hat, and were doing the moves. But that was the end.”

WHY?: “I grew up with a mother whom I believed was Martha Stewart before Martha Stewart existed! So I come by this somewhat honestly. She would buy wallpaper and cut out giraffes and put them on the wall. All my drawers would be lined. She just had such a beautiful touch (and still does).

She just made my room feel like it was my domain and my place. Hopefully Jada likes pink for a long time.”

Mardi Gras Grill

New kid in town kicks it up

By Jenn Sharp You’d be hard pressed to find alligator on a Saskatchewan restaurant menu before Mardi Gras Grill opened. Finding crocodile is even more unlikely. Until now.

Robert and Suzanne Tingey opened Mardi Gras Grill in May on Idylwyld Drive in Saskatoon. The menu consists almost exclusively of dishes inspired by cooking styles from the Southern United States.

A fellow foodie and I visited recently and knew we had to try the gator bites. Suzanne informed us they’re actually crocodile right now.

Alligator is in short supply in Louisiana and any meat is being kept in the United States. Not to worry though — we wouldn’t have known

the difference.

“You’ve got to have a pretty refined palate to be able to taste the difference between alligator and crocodile,” she laughed.

I always question meat that needs to be coated in a flavoured breading mixture, deep fried then dipped in a sauce of some kind in order to taste good. I love calamari but not because it tastes like squid. Grilled squid tastes very different from the calamari many restaurants serve. The gator bites at Mardi Gras Grill fall into this category as well. Don’t get me wrong, they’re delicious. They reminded me of boneless dry ribs, except the meat was very moist. The bites came with a Creole mustard dipping sauce which had a definite kick — they’re not afraid of heat at

Mardi Gras Grill.

It made me wonder what gator (crocodile in this case) really tastes like though. What about a grilled gator steak? That would probably be too much for Saskatchewan diners but I would try it once for sure.

There are several exotic meat dealers in the U.S.A. selling alligator. Exotic Meats USA, based in Reno, Nev. is one of them. Listed on the website are alligator patties (for burgers), sausages and several cuts of steak, all from an alligator tail. According to gator-cooking pros, steaks will always come from the tail or be a tenderloin cut.

Compared to beef, alligator and crocodile meat is low in saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and calories.

Crocodile is a bit higher in cholester-

ol but makes up for it by being very low in fat and high in protein.

The prices were a bit high for a few of Mardi Gras Grill’s menu items. I haven’t seen Cajun chicken Caesar salad anywhere for $17. Entrees are $17 to $25. Don’t worry about going home hungry though. You’re almost guaranteed to need a doggy bag.

The Tingeys have done a ton of work renovating the place. The windows had been boarded up and there was next to no lighting in the space.

Now it’s a cozy nook tucked away from the busy street. Big, beautiful Mardi Gras themed murals by Donna Bilyk liven up the walls.

I was impressed with the freshness of all our dishes. I questioned the truthfulness of the “Fresh Louisiana Catch of the Day” in the menu but Suzanne explained it comes via Pacific Fresh Fish. The fresh fish is Fed-Exed overnight to the restaurant. Her husband (and chef) Robert received frozen catfish once and it fell apart when cooked. He couldn’t

use it and was very disappointed. He hasn’t received frozen fish since.

I had the blackened catfish with a citrus beurre blanc (cream sauce) for $24. I was overwhelmed by the portion — it was huge — but more so with the flavour. While I could have gone without so much of the beurre blanc sauce and butter, the fish itself was mild and delicious — the perfect platform on which to add the classic Louisiana spice mixture.

My dining partner had shrimp and grits with fried green tomatoes.

If you’ve never had grits, it’s probably worth a try. Not my favourite, grits are a classic staple in Southern cooking and commonly eaten for breakfast. They’re made from boiling coarsely ground corn in either water or milk, sometimes with salt or sugar. The texture was a tad runny for me but my dining partner quite enjoyed them.

The highlight of the meal was by far the fried green tomatoes. Try them. You won’t be disappointed.

FOOD AND THE CITY

An enthralling look at urban food growth

By Jenn Sharp and Ashley Martin In Food and the City: Urban Agriculture and the New Food Revolution, Edmonton journalist Jennifer Cockrall-King exposes the world’s unsustainable food industry — but she doesn’t simply point out the problems. Cockrall-King spent several years researching and travelling to various cities across North America and Europe to discover solutions.

She found people creating gardens and farms, on tiny and large scales, to produce organic food in their own cities.

ASHLEY MARTIN: As a food writer and someone who has met the author of this book, did any part of Food and the City surprise you?

JENN SHARP: It definitely confirmed a lot of what I already suspected.

Jennifer Cockrall-King backs up her book with meticulously documented research and references back to the source information throughout. I really loved the chapter about Cuba’s urban agriculture projects. She begins by asking what would happen if a sudden food shock hit an industrial, fossil fuel dependent, globally interconnected food system. She references an article from Harper’s magazine (apparently one of the few mainstream media outlets to acknowledge Cuba’s multi-year food crisis) in 2005, which talks about Cuba’s success with just such a situation.

It all began after decades of selling sugar to the Soviet Union above world costs. As Cuba became more industrialized and more reliant on mechanized farming, more and more people moved to the cities. Cuba lost 85 per cent of its foreign trade after the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, meaning they lost about 80 per cent of their food supply, fuel and

Did anything in the book make you think differently about our food system or inspire you to change anything in your life?

farming equipment. Cockrall-King writes: “As any Cuban over the age of 30 will tell you, it’s like someone turned off the lights, shut off the gas, and emptied the fridge.” Factories shut down, expensive farm machinery was abandoned, crops rotted and livestock starved.

So what did Cuba, a nation with few allies, do? They developed what has become known as the Cuban Model in food-security circles, a de-

centralized, deindustrialized food system. Urban farms are now as common in Cuban cities as 7-Elevens are in Canada. There are few grocery stores; Cubans buy their food from these farms or farmers’ markets. This means their diet is mainly organic, seasonal and emphasizes fresh produce over meat and processed carbohydrates. Food is still scarce though and food rationing is a hard reality.

AM: I’ve always been pretty conscious of where my food comes from, and simultaneously lazy about it.

This book really inspired me to try to change things. I’ve flirted with indoor and outdoor gardening in the past, but haven’t grown anything in well over a year. This book reminded me of how important it is to have a hand in our own food supply. In the summer, I plan on doing a garden on my balcony. At about six-by-eightfeet, I always thought it was too small a space to grow anything, but if a man in London can grow 83 kilograms of food on his nine-by-six-foot balcony, then I can at least try.

I also resolved to make more of an effort to visit our local farmers’ market. I’ve always viewed farmers’ markets as kind of a novelty — something to do if I happen to wake up early on a Saturday morning, but it’s no big deal if I miss it because the grocery store is open all hours and is just down the street from my

house. But this book shocked me into getting there every week to buy my fresh groceries. Here’s why: Five corporations control 90 per cent of the U.S. food system. Food on average travels 1,500 miles to get to us.

One and a half acres of rainforest is chopped down each second to create more agricultural land; 73 per cent of grain crop is used to feed livestock; it takes 15,000 litres of water to produce a kilogram of beef.

It’s all disgusting. I frequently lost my appetite through the first half of this book, and I said so on Twitter.

The author encouraged me to keep reading, and I’m glad I did. I learned about all the great things people are doing in their cities to grow their own food. There are tons of examples on an individual level — community and rooftop gardens, urban bee-keeping, raising chickens in a backyard, urban fruit harvesters — but the examples that really stick out for me are in Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit, because they show how a new food model can be profitable, which I think is important if it’s going to have a chance at knocking out the corporate food system.

Local AUTHORS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

B R E T T B AY D A

Caring for our elders Life has a way of making you do things that you don’t want to do.

Who really likes going to work when its 30 degrees below zero, changing dirty diapers or mowing the lawn?

But we do these things because we all understand that in life there are sacrifices that have to be made.

My name is Brett Bayda

and that is exactly why I wrote this book — to educate families on how to plan for one of the biggest sacrifices they will ever have to make: caring for elderly loved ones who can no longer care for themselves.

Our lives are busy enough right? We don’t want to think about what will happen to our loved ones when they become frail. However, the families that are proactive and find time to start the planning process early are proving to live happier lifestyles.

Anyone that has a loved one over the age of 65 needs

to read this book for three reasons: It will help your loved one live at home longer, it will help you protect them, and it will decrease the risk of you bearing a burden you are not prepared to bear.

How prepared do you feel right now if something suddenly happened to your loved one? Is there a current power of attorney in place? A living will? Are the finances in order? Has your loved one’s personal history been documented for future generations to read? This book will help you plan for all of this and much more. It will help

you be prepared for things that you will never even

FASHION YXE #

S a s k at c h e wa n Fa s h i o n

Bryn Geroux:

Sylvia Derkatch:

Fashion as a social filter

En vogue at any age

By Jeanette Stewart Bryn Giroux uses fashion as a filter.

“If you wear really questionable clothing ... it can be like a social experiment,” he said. “You can wear some weird stuff and the people who aren’t open minded will probably show themselves to you and you can just get past that.”

Giroux has always enjoyed dressing up and has plenty of fun accessories for different occasions.

“My mom’s a daycare worker so she always had lots of cool Halloween outfits and stuff to play with. And Mr. Dressup is really wicked. I grew up (watching) it.”

He enjoys wearing crazy clothes, but only if they make sense.

“As long as it’s practical fashion, it’s very important. I think that there’s lots of dumb things that people wear that aren’t for any reason at all,” he said.

By Ashley Martin

Vest: Divine. “It looks like a life jacket kind of,” he said.

“It’s a really good postering vest.

It holds a lot — two pockets that can hold more than most small purses.”

5.

4. Pants: “The pants were really the most magical part of the outfit because they were a gift from a friend.” The reaction varies when he wears them. “From people that are interesting and cool, only good ones. It’s definitely worthwhile.

Sylvia Derkatch has one problem with the Regina shopping scene.

“I love shopping but what I’ve found is that we’ve lost a lot of ladies’ shops here in Regina,” said Derkatch, a grandmother of two. “Harolds, Mortons, those were two main stores I really liked shopping in. The clothes fit me from there.”

But losing some of her favourite stores doesn’t mean Derkatch has given up on staying stylish: “I’ll shop anywhere as long as I can find something that I like and something that fits me properly.”

She says it’s very important to stay fashionable as you age.

“Maybe because of (my daughter) Mindy or maybe because of my friends, they all like to be up to date and it’s almost a bit of a competition,” said Derkatch. “If (Mindy) buys something that I really like I say, ‘Why didn’t you buy me one? Where’d you get it? Can I go get one?’ So we have ended up with the same tops or the same shoes or stuff like that.”

Lots of smiles. Some people think that I look like a Twister board or I work for Wonder Bread.”

5. Boots: Gift. “I was snowboarding in Vernon last year and I only brought shoes, which was kind of dumb. There’s lots of Australian people and I met

a couple. They had these sweet boots from Walmart. They were also a gift. I guess they don’t get that much snow in Australia,” he said. “Maybe they’re not the prettiest but they’re practical. They’ve got some good grip. That’s all that really matters when you have to battle the harsh elements we have up in the Arctic.”

White blends open a world of possibility

By James Romanow I have a friend who, rightly or wrongly, assumes he knows a great deal about wine, rather more than me. As he is a multimillionaire, and had the advantage of starting to drink about 10 years earlier than I, it is quite possible he’s right.

Something he has a hard time wrapping his head around is that it is also quite possible he’s wrong.

He tends to like well-balanced whites, and rather overthe-top reds. I actually owe some of my appreciation of white blends to him, although it would probably kill both of us to admit this in public.

(And we might have to set off a bomb after we die to obliterate anyone who may have heard the confession.)

White blends are to wine what steel is to cars: Without it, you will never have a chance to understand what

bottles.
