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

ROLLIE BOURASSA

One Family’s War: The Wartime Letters of Clarence Bourassa Around 1995, I found a box buried under half a century of “collectibles” when I was helping my mother move out of her house. In it, neatly packed, were hundreds of letters that were written by my father. He sent them home to my mother from the day he left Lafleche, Sask., in 1940, as a recruit going to serve in a war from which he would never return.

As I read the letters, I discovered a young man, married with two small children, who was worn down by the Great Depression, and who felt the army might give the family a future. I also discovered remarkable stories: one of a Canadian soldier who served overseas for four years, the other of a young woman who without her husband was raising a family during wartime in small-town Saskatchewan. A part of history was unfolding before my eyes.

That was when the idea of a book dawned on me.

I was informed the University of Regina Press might be interested, and I was introduced to David McLennan who took my manuscript and moulded it into a great historical document. He felt that my father’s letters should speak for themselves, that reproduced in their entirety they could tell the story not only of one family’s war, but the story of the sacrifices made by many families during war. Painstakingly, each and every letter was transcribed.

When the book came out, the reviews started coming in: “This book deserves to be read by all Canadians,” “this is a story of romance … [of] emotions, war, training … and [of] the deepest human struggles any one will ever face.”

Also, after the book came out, my family became

enthralled with this part of their heritage, and with the direction of my grandson, Dal- Rollie Bourassa lyn Johnson, they co-ordinated a surprise family trip to Europe to retrace my father’s footsteps through war-torn England and France to his final resting place in Normandy.

In this new edition of One Family’s War, we’ve added that part of the story.

One Family’s War is available from McNally-Robinson Booksellers, Chapters, Indigo and university bookstores.

Dealing with PTSD a daily struggle for war veteran

By Terrence McEachern It’s a day Jason McKenzie will never forget.

Nov. 16, 1992.

Pte. McKenzie of Regina and about a dozen other Canadian Armed Forces soldiers are driving in an M113 armoured personnel carrier. The peacekeepers are on their

way to a nearby town in the former Yugoslavia for a routine patrol.

It’s around 6 a.m.

Inside, the soldiers are crammed into the bottom of the carrier, sitting on boxes of ammunition, grenades and rocket launchers. The carrier drives with its three hatches open.

While the soldiers talk among

themselves, the vehicle suddenly jolts forward. McKenzie is also tossed forward.

Orders are shouted. Get down!

And then — Get out!

McKenzie looks up. Muddy, dark water is pouring through two of the hatches, flooding the vehicle.

The force of the water pushes McKenzie down.

With only the machine-gunner hatch available for escape, the soldiers vacate one at a time.

McKenzie and a fellow soldier are the last two remaining. Trapped, they look at each other as the water rises above their heads.

McKenzie realizes this could be the end.

He stops panicking because it

won’t help.

Fear is replaced by calmness.

Floating underwater in total darkness, McKenzie doesn’t know which way is up.

But this is not the end.

McKenzie is grabbed from above and pulled through the hatch.

He can’t believe his eyes when he reaches the surface.

“We are swept up in a river. I thought we were on the highway.”

It takes two hours for rescuers to find the stranded unit on the carrier. It rests near a blown up bridge as rain pours down and the river rages by.

Back at the base, they are given the rest of the day off.

With no counselling or decompression services, they deal with the situation by getting drunk.

The next day, it’s back to work as usual.

McKenzie was 19.

Born in Moose Jaw, McKenzie, now 41, began as a reservist for the Royal Regina Rifles in 1990. He served in Croatia as a member of the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Bravo Company, 1st Platoon.

Stress had been building up over the sixmonth tour. Like other soldiers, McKenzie was shot at by snipers while working a checkpoint stopping and searching vehicles.

“So you would hear the bullet whiz by and then the bang of the rifle,” McKenzie recalls.

“We lived every day on a heightened state of alert. We were always in fear, always had a threat of being invaded on our borders by the Serbian army and the Croatian army because we were right in the middle of them. We split them apart and set up front lines and tried to

stop the war.”

Adding to the stress was the task of clearing side roads of mines in an armoured carrier.

“That was a huge amount of stress to go through every day because you’re so hyper alert of mines. We would find mines all the time — anti-personnel mines, anti-tank mines.

We would see them everywhere … It was really odd. And, looking back, I didn’t realize the effect that had on me.”

McKenzie’s stress level never got back to normal. Four months later, the tour ended. McKenzie was back home in Regina. He returned to the Royal Regina Rifles and was honourably discharged in 1994.

It took several years before he realized that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“I did come home a changed person. I did come home with symptoms. But they weren’t debilitating symptoms for probably three or four years.”

Those initial symptoms included anxiety and hypervigilance.

“That is a big issue with PTSD — the hypervigilance. You’re in that flight or fight mode all the time. So, it’s really hard to go out and function as a normal person because it’s so much stress for you — you’re constantly on hyper alert.”

You’re in that flight or fight mode all the time. So, it’s really hard to go out and function as a normal person because it’s so much stress for you — you’re constantly on hyper alert. — McKenzie

Symptoms further progressed as the Nov. 16, 1992 incident manifested into nightmares.

“I didn’t even know I was having nightmares. My spouse at the time in 1998 and 1999 was telling me you’re freaking out in your sleep and you’re flailing and you’re screaming, and I had no idea — I wouldn’t wake up,” says McKenzie.

Insomnia then crept into his life. Because of the intense fear he would experience in a nightmare, McKenzie was afraid to sleep for days.

“It progressed to waking up in the night, gasping for air, and complete panic — I would wake up and I couldn’t see anything … I was so adamant that I was dying.”

Nicholas Carleton isn’t surprised to hear that McKenzie is still coming to terms with PTSD and the trauma he experienced more than 20 years after serving overseas.

“We’ve got more than a century of data that suggests that it can be something that impacts somebody for the rest of their life,” says Carleton, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Regina. In addition to academics, Carleton has a clinical practice where he sees about five people dealing with the effects of PTSD, including current and former soldiers.

Although little is known in terms of cause and effect with PTSD, largely due to the lack of long-term research studies, Carleton points out that exposure to one or more traumatic events is a key factor in the disorder.

“That event is different enough from your expectations or from your experience that it stands out — that it causes complications with respect to how you go about interacting with the world thereafter,” explains Carleton.

“So, you’ve got a piece of information that you can’t integrate into your reality at this point because it was so foreign, so outside of what you’re used to, that it just stands apart and it’s not something that you have necessarily come to terms with.”

Another pathway to PTSD is coming to terms with moral injury.

“Although what you saw wasn’t necessarily very far removed from your reality, it changes how you perceive your reality so much that you’re not sure how to cope next,” says Carleton. “So now, you’re in an odd place where you bare witness to some tremendous tragedies … (that) was happening to somebody else and the injury may well be a moral injury because you opted not to do something because you were following orders (or international law).”

For McKenzie, it wasn’t seeing death, gore or bodies — those were things he expected to see in a combat zone. But nearly drowning in a submerged carrier was not something he expected.

“I still relive the carrier sinking incident …

I can’t talk about it without anxiety.”

A recent federal government survey of 6,700 full-time members of the Canadian Armed Forces stated that 16.5 per cent are experiencing some form of mental or alcohol disorder. Of that, eight per cent reported a major depressive episode, 4.5 per cent indicated an anxiety disorder and 3.4 per cent a panic disorder. As well, 5.3 per cent reported having PTSD. Equally alarming is the number of suicides by members of the armed forces. Between 1995 and 2013, 214 men serving full time in the regular forces committed suicide.

By comparison, between 2004 and 2014, 10 female regular force members committed suicide.

“They were pretty tough tours back then.

And, we weren’t prepared, the Canadian (Armed) Forces wasn’t prepared because we hadn’t been in any kind of role like that for years,” says McKenzie.

Post-traumatic stress disorder was identified as a psychological diagnosis in 1980.

Today, treatment usually involves therapy or counselling and medication. Medication, however, doesn’t necessarily mean anti-depressants. It could involve medication to help someone sleep, explains Carleton.

“Frankly, in my clinical opinion, sleep is probably one of the biggest things. If you’re not sleeping, everything else starts to go downhill pretty quickly.”

The U of R’s Anxiety and Illness Behaviours Laboratory has research projects involving PTSD, such as studying the factors that make someone more or less resilient and a higher or a lower risk of developing PTSD as well as the impact of aerobic exercise on PTSD patients to help manage symptoms.

A treatment tool being used for PTSD patients is prolonged exposure to the traumatic experience and working on different ways to process that experience differently.

“One of the things that cause PTSD disorder symptoms to be maintained is the ongoing avoidance of the traumatic memories and queues associated with those traumatic memories,” says Carleton. He strongly cautions that prolonged exposure should only be done under clinical supervision in a safe environment.

McKenzie does the little things needed to live a good life — exercise, improved diet and sleep. He has seen about six counsellors over the years and is searching for a new one. A problem is that soldiers can become frustrated with counselling, especially if the discussion is being interrupted for clarification on acronyms and military terminology.

Jason McKenzie still battles extreme anxiety when he talks about nearly drowning 20 years ago.

Jason McKenzie, 19, in the former Yugoslavia in 1992, during an eight-hour armed standoff with Serbian forces. SUBMITTED PHOTO

A few years after being honourably discharged from the Royal Regina Rifles, McKenzie left Regina for British Columbia to work with the Canadian Coast Guard. During this time, in the late 1990s, McKenzie realized that what he was suffering from sounded like PTSD. He quickly sought help from Veterans Affairs and was put on a pension and brought into the system. Veterans Affairs helped him access programs that have been helpful, but he notes those programs have improved significantly since soldiers began coming home from serving in Afghanistan. An area McKenzie wants to see improved is more programs for families.

“When I’m up at night and I’m freaking out, the person that is with me, calming me down and not sleeping as well, is my spouse. And now, she is getting up and going to her job the next day after going through this stressful night.

There is no one asking her how she is or how she is coping with (my) PTSD.”

McKenzie took an important step in his road to recovery this summer when he joined fellow ex-soldiers Steve Hartwig and Scott McFarlane, also suffering from PTSD, in a cross-Canada march. The trio coined the journey Into No Man’s Land: PTSD Awareness March. The march ended Sept. 15 in St. John’s, Nfld.

“It’s been a profound change in my life — going through the march. The first thing is losing the embarrassment of having PTSD and never having openly discussed it before this — not even with my family. People knew I had PTSD but that circle of people that knew was very small.”

The three men served in the former Yugoslavia during the same tour but in different units.

Earlier in the year, Hartwig and McKenzie, who went through basic training together, admitted to each other that they were dealing with PTSD.

“That’s one thing, as a soldier, you don’t tell your fellow soldiers that you served with that you have PTSD. You’d never admit that. So, it was an awkward conversation when it came up for us.”

The march began with no fanfare. Hartwig started walking 32 kilometres a day from Victoria, B.C., “without a plan and without telling anybody.” He wanted to do something to raise awareness about PTSD, but didn’t know what else to do.

McKenzie reached out to Hartwig. He started a website and a Facebook page to help raise funds.

A camper was donated to follow the march and for the group to sleep in on the road.

The group stopped in Regina at the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in July. Speaking with the media, McKenzie started to open up publicly about his experiences.

“A lot of tension that had been built up inside of me, carrying this shame and embarrassment — it was starting to let go.”

As the march continued, the group was met by other PTSD sufferers — soldiers and law enforcement — telling their stories and supporting the cause to raise awareness.

“They would cry. Tears everyday on the highway with people that what we were doing was resonating with them,” says McKenzie. “And, to share my story and have people actually listening and you listening to other people, it was incredible. I still get messages daily from people along the way.”

Recently, McKenzie has been going through changes in his life. His marriage ended, but he still has an active role in raising his two daughters. As well, McKenzie has decided to shut down his home building business after nine years. The stress of running the business, especially chasing after delinquent accounts, proved to be too much.

Instead, McKenzie is taking on another challenge — finishing an undergraduate degree in economics and business at the U of R he started a decade ago. McKenzie is enrolled for the winter session. He is also planning to participate in the aerobic exercise project led by Carleton’s colleague Gordon Asmundson at the U of R. “It’s been a 20-year struggle for me. I would say things haven’t been resolved for me. But I am definitely being proactive now.”

BEWITCHED! THE MAGIC CONTINUES

Saskatoon’s art supporters came dressed in their finest to celebrate the Mendel Art Gallery’s 50th anniversary on Nov. 1 at the Sheraton Cavalier.

Bewitched! The Magic Continues began with a champagne reception for the 250 guests, followed by a gourmet dinner and entertainmnent by renowned pianists Jon Ballantyne and Thomas Yu, and fiddler Karrnnel, who all grew up in Saskatoon.

The ’60s theme for the party came from the year the Mendel opened, 1964, and the year the TV series, Bewitched, premiered.

Proceeds from the gala, about $75,000, will support the Mendel International Lecture at Remai Modern.

This annual lecture will honour the contributions of gallery patron Fred Mendel and his family,the 50-year legacy of the Mendel Art Gallery, and how its permanent collection of more than 7,000 works helps to create a sense of community and place in Saskatoon.

Snow mould: An ounce of prevention now . . .

By Sara Williams I remember an early spring day in the 1980s. I was working at the Garden Line office and wishing I were outside.

It was warm and sunny, and the snow was melting quickly.

One of the last calls of the day dealt with a grey, cotton-like growth that was visible under the retreating snow.

The caller wanted verification of the problem, and I needed a picture of snow mould. Their residence was en route to my home and I had my camera in the car. So I was pleased to make a “house call.”

It was, indeed, snow mould, a combination of several fungal organisms that thrive under moist conditions at temperatures around freezing (0 to 7 C). The cotton-like patches are the mycelium or vegetative part of the fungi and can range from a few inches to several feet in diameter. In severe cases, they can kill large portions of a lawn.

Grey snow mould (Typhala incarnata and few related species) is more commonly found in our area, generally attacking only the above-ground the grass blades. Pink snow mould (Microdochium nivalis) occurs less frequently but is more damaging as it also attacks grass roots.

The standard recommendation in spring is to encourage a rapid snowmelt — usually by raking out the snow.

The fungi become inactive when exposed to sunlight, once temperatures are above 15 C and when the lawn is dry.

Now (i.e. late fall) is the time for that ounce of prevention, especially if snow mould has been a problem. To reduce its impact, allow your lawn to harden off prior to winter. Avoid overfertilizing, especially with nitrogen, in the fall. The last application should be no later than Aug. 15. Nitrogen promotes a lush succulent growth that is extremely vulnerable to fungal attack.

Your lawn should go into winter no taller than 5-8 cm. Longer grass becomes matted under the weight of the snow and provides an ideal environ-

ment for snow mould proliferation. It attacks the leaves first, then later the crown of the grass plant.

Thatch is partially decayed organic matter, on the soil surface, among the living grass blades. If the thatch layer is more than one cm thick, it too serves as excellent habitat for snow mould and as well as an “over-summering” site for spores. Use a mulching mower to decrease the size of clippings and dethatch your lawn each spring if the layer becomes excessive. Rake the lawn in the fall, removing leaves and other organic material that provide initial sustenance for snow mould.

Snow mould is favoured by early snowfall on unfrozen ground. Although we have no control on the weather, snow fencing can be used to discourage the accumulation of deep snow drifts and encourage even snow distribution. Damage is generally worse where the snow lingers longest; thus the benefit of raking it away when the damage is first noticed.

Snow compaction is also thought to favour snow mould. So place your ice rink on the vegetable garden rather than the lawn.

No fungicides for snow mould control are registered for domestic use in Canada. If snow mould persists year after year despite preventive measures, and your lawn was established over 20 years ago, consider re-seeding or sodding with some of the more recent Kentucky bluegrass cultivars that are more resistant to snow mould.

To prevent snow mould (shown above) from happening, don’t over-fertilize and avoid putting anything on your lawn, like a skating rink, that will compact the grass. PHOTO COURTESY WILLIAM M. BROWN JR.

Chef fuses traditional culture with modern cuisine

By Jenn Sharp November has become the month foodies anticipate in Saskatoon.

It’s Gold Medal Plates time and this year’s competition will be as fierce as ever.

Ten of the region’s best chefs will compete in a gruelling, high-pressure environment for top honours on Nov. 8. Whoever takes the gold medal will be off to Kelowna, B.C., in February where he or she will be up against the winners from 11 other Canadian cities for the title of Canadian Culinary Champion.

Guests at the event mingle and sip wine as they try each chef ’s tasting plate, before they move into the celebration area for dessert, more wine, entertainment by Jim Cuddy and a live auction for trips around the world. Thrown into the fun are over 20 of Saskatchewan’s Olympic athletes (it’s a fundraiser for them after all).

The pressure for the chefs is twofold. First and foremost, they need to present a unique dish to a team of eight judges. Dishes are judged on everything from presentation to taste and even ‘wow’ factor.

At the same time, chefs must ensure their line runs smoothly and each dish comes out as good as the last for the hundreds of guests who have a limited time period to sample everything.

It will be the first year Doug Hyndford, executive chef at the Saskatoon Inn, will compete with hiw own team.

He was previously on Trevor Robertson’s winning team from the Radisson Hotel.

Hyndford’s Gold Medal Plates dish is top secret until event day, but he will say it’s his version of pemmican; a play on his heritage and a longtime goal of his to create.

“It’s been a dream that I’ve been working on for years and years so (I’m) refining that.”

He’s from the Peepeekisis First Nation near Fort Qu’Appelle, which influences his cooking. The French-

style trained chef, who was once Wanuskewin’s executive chef, describes his current cuisine focus as Metis-fusion.

When he worked at Wanuskewin, he made traditional (pre-contact) bannock. His ancestors dried and pounded the root of a cattail before

flour and baking powder were introduced to Canada for their bannock.

“A cattail is both male and female at one point of the year. I took the pollen out and mixed the two together.

For a leavener, you add wood ash — a little bit of ashes out of the fire — into your bread. For salt, there was a

little purple flower you could dry and it’s really salty.”

For Bridges, he made a modern dish that represents his traditional heritage: a mustard crispy rabbit leg, with Three Sister succotash, leafy cheddar cracker, a cherry bacon wrapped rabbit saddle and tiny rack

of rabbit.

“It’s a little bit different,” says Hyndford of the rabbit and Three Sisters corn, squash and beans combination.

The Three Sisters are the main agricultural crop for many First Nations.

Hyndford explains there’s a specific way to plant the crop: All three seeds are planted together in a small hole. The corn grows first, followed by the beans which grow up the corn stalk and provide shade for the squash.

“The interesting thing is, years and years later, science did a study and found out one robs nitrogen, one fixes nitrogen and they actually all fix the soil for each other,” he says.

The rabbit, which is also a traditional food, is raised by one of his cook’s on a farm outside the city.

“We’re trying to do a lot of local, responsible choices,” he says of the hotel’s sustainably-raised beef and Ocean Wise seafood.

“We buy from the Hutterites (too) — as much local as possible.”

While the rabbit trio isn’t on the regular menu at the Saskatoon Inn, it makes an appearance on the Friday chalkboard menu, which is always based on what’s in season and available from the producers.

ASK ELLIE

Husband needs to be wary of relationship with co-worker Q. I’ve been married to my wife for 15 years, known her since college; we both work in stressful jobs and relied on our stable relationship and routines for the home life we wanted. We purposefully haven’t had children.

Lately, I’ve had to work closely with a very dynamic female who’s younger and new to our company.

She has a lot of enthusiasm, excitement and fresh ideas. I find I can hardly wait to hear her latest brainstorm!

We’re going to be travelling to a work assignment together in a few weeks and I’m getting excited about it ... but obviously seeing there’s room for worry, too. Is this something I should talk to her about? Or to my wife?

Unknown Territory A. Give your wife a chance before you risk losing yours with your marriage. After all, she’s maintaining the routine you two set up together.

Tell her you sense a need for

Ask Ellie

adding new interests into your life together. Say you’re realizing that needs do change over time, and that it likely has to do with changes you experience through maturing, and gaining confidence.

Suggest that you two add some new stimulation and spontaneity into your marriage — an adventure trip, studying a new language, training for a fitness challenge, whatever.

It’s not necessarily your colleague who’s got you fired up, but the sense of excitement she imparts, and how it makes you feel.

Take your wife away for a weekend before the business trip, or at

least start the conversation about trying new things beforehand.

Don’t tell your colleague these personal reactions to her. Since you’re a married man, it could ruin your working relationship if she’s not interested.

And if she is, be aware that an affair could ruin your marriage and devastate your wife.

Q. My husband and I made friends with our new neighbours. The wife reached out right away — an invitation to see their newly renovated place, then a barbecue there — so naturally we’ve invited them to our place, too. Our kids also like each other.

Her husband’s a successful businessman and his stories agitate my husband a bit since he’s working in a mid-level job. Maybe that’s why he and the wife end up talking between them, when we’re all together.

I’ve noticed lately that she’s very touchy-feely with him — always patting my husband on the arm,

or touching his shoulder. She also dresses very sexy. Even my daughter, age seven, said so to me. Should I be worried?

Too Close for Comfort A. Yes. Everyone in a relationship should be normally alert to signals that someone’s making moves onhis or her partner. Overreacting would be unwise. But saying it all feels too-friendly too-fast, is not.

Maybe she’s just “touchy-feely” but it may also be she’s an attention-seeker with men. Or worse, a woman who plays a game of seeing whom she can attract. Basically, you don’t really know her that well to judge.

So don’t accuse. And don’t blame your husband. Just build an awareness-fence around him, by saying that her familiarity with him has you uncomfortable.

Ask for his help to put you more at ease. Suggest that you cut back on the frequency of getting together, and that he deflects any inappropriate gestures by her, by moving away.

Q. My husband’s always thinking something else would be better: We need to move to the country, he must leave his job, the kids should attend another school, etc. Sometimes I feel whipped around mentally/emotionally trying to calm his restlessness.

My best friend from college (male) has admitted he wishes I’d seen him as a boyfriend, not a buddy.

He’s married to a shopaholic social climber, so we share our problems.

It’s a great comfort, but is it dangerous to have someone of the opposite sex be your go-to confidante?

Best Buddy A. This friendship’s distancing you from your partner.

You need to become HIS “go-to,” but first show him you have the interest and compassion for that role.

Ask what’s in his background that might be making him feel unsettled.

Then suggest he talk to a professional therapist. Say you’ll go with him if it helps. He needs the attention you’re diverting to someone else’s problems.

The Rouge Gallery was packed with 125 beautiful people who came out to support Western Canadian design talent on Oct. 30.

The inaugural PARKLUXE Saskatoon, a small, luxury fashion presentation, showcased three designers, including Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Rebecca King, along with styles from Midtown Plaza. Models strutted through the rows of seating, making the runway presentation a decidedly intimate and personal experience.

PARK (Promoting Artists Redefining Kulture) has been throwing luxury food and fashion events for several years in Calgary. The Saskatoon event was the first foray outside of Alberta for the non-profit organization, ran by a group of young professionals. PARK creates opportunties for developing designers to share their art and sustain a profitable business.

Masi’s Passo Doble exquisitely balanced

By James Romanow If you’re a regular reader of mine, you will know I have been jumping up and down about a wine since I began writing. The wine in question is Masi’s Passo Doble, a wine from Argentina, which until recently retailed for around $15. For the life of me I don’t know why it hasn’t been on the shelf here before. It was in Manitoba, Alberta and Ontario.

The wine has had a small but devoted following, some of which is based on Masi and on the winemakers being very good at their job. It’s also based on the grapes involved — Malbec and Corvina — and just on the way the stuff tastes.

It tastes great. And the secret to the greatness is the secret of many Masi wines: the appaxximento process (AKA appassimento, passimento, ripasso, ripasa et al.). These processes are slightly different depending on the producer, and other factors, but all depend on using partially dried grapes to extract more aroma and flavour. Masi was a pioneer in this process and tunes their wines like an Amati cello. In Passo Doble, 21 per cent of the Corvina has been dried, while the rest of the wine was made normally.

And the result is an exquisitely balanced glassful. The rich dark earthiness of the Malbec is matched to the lighter, vibrant Corvina.

The intensity of the wine is fabulous. If you like rich, full bodied red wines that you can match to just about any food, this is a wine you have to try.

For lovers of Amarone feeling poor, or anybody with a New World palate, this is a mustdrink wine.
