READ MY BOOK #

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

GEORGE MERCER

Wildlife subject of Dyed In The Green would also be the title for a series of books — a fictional first about Canada’s special places, with each novel set in a different national park.

Dyed In The Green was released just before Christmas and although set in Cape Breton, it has been well-received right across Canada. The story about poaching wildlife could be set anywhere but I chose Cape Breton because the backdrop of the iconic Cabot Trail is quintessentially Canadian, and replete with characters as colourful as the Highlands in autumn.

For some of these characters, poaching is part of their way of life, an accepted practice whose impact is rarely considered. But

when it happens in the very places set aside to protect wildlife, it takes on a level of significance we shouldn’t ignore. For me, writing about it with a fictional twist is another way of engaging Canadians about the challenges facing our parks and protected areas.

And poaching isn’t the only challenge.

While Dyed In The Green is the opening act and poaching is its central thesis, it sets the stage for Wood Buffalo, the second book in the series to be released later this year. It is a story about the external pressures facing our parks and catches up with my characters as they battle to protect a population of bison slated for slaughter on

the northern plains of Wood Buf Buffalo National Park.

Rooted in reality, I use contemporary issues facing our protected areas as the basis for stories that weave elements of mystery and suspense into what I hope are enjoyable, yet informative tales.

Set against the backdrop of our nation’s most spectacular landscapes and seascapes, my stories try to connect people to nature and highlight aspects of our human nature.

Dyed In The Green is available from independent bookstores across Canada, including McNally Robinson Booksellers in Saskatoon, and from the author’s website at www.georgemercer.com.

ON THE COVER #

They’re human beings, and they have equal rights. — Ellen Schmeiser

ELLEN SCHMEISER

An innate defender of the underdog

Lawyer Ellen Schmeiser was awarded Saskatchewan’s Order of Merit earlier this year.

By HenryTye Glazebrook Ellen Schmeiser has a no-nonsense approach to human rights.

“I think that people are people. They’re human beings, and they have equal rights. It doesn’t matter how good looking they are or how tall they are or how fat they are, they’re human beings and they have rights,” she says.

’

T H ESTA R P H O E N I X .CO M / B R I D G ES

BRIDGES PHOTO BY LIAM RICHARDS

“I’ve always felt that, as a human rights person, we’re all people and we should be treated with respect and dignity. That’s it.”

She speaks boldly about her beliefs, but Schmeiser has a storied history of pushing for equal rights — one that lends credence to her words.

Schmeiser’s working life is a web in the field of law, including time in regular practice as

a lawyer, as a director of research at the Law Reform Commission of Saskatchewan, and as a founding member of the Canadian Human Rights Commission representing the prairie provinces.

Earlier this year, she was awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit for her contributions to the province and the nation as a whole.

The award, which honours those who have made confident strides forward for Saskatchewan, is in many ways a culmination of her life’s work. In Schmeiser’s mind, however, it was her time as a special adviser on matrimonial property to the Saskatchewan Department of the Attorney General that had the largest influence on her being given the Order of Merit.

You think about the matrimonial property act and how that impacted our society in general — the principal that a marriage is a partnership, including on a property level. — Nancy Hopkins

It was this position which led to what is arguably the most notable achievement of her career, in which Schmeiser made recommendations to legislation that helped to create Saskatchewan’s trail-blazing Matrimonial Property Act in 1980.

The piece of legislature effectively re-wrote the principle behind property ownership in the context of marriage.

Schmeiser and her peers’ work on the piece of legislation transformed marriage from a legal perspective, into a union not Nancy Hopkins only of family but also of possessions and property.

The change was one which protected partners, in the event of divorce, who did not bring an income into the home.

“You think about the matrimonial property act and how that impacted our society in general — the principal that a marriage is a partnership, including on a property level. It’s not just a part-

S ROT R A C

nership for the children; it’s a partnership for everything,” said Nancy Hopkins, who worked with Schmeiser during the latter’s time as director of continuing legal education for the Law Society and is a partner at the McDougall Gauley law firm.

“That’s profoundly impactful for the society as a whole. That was a really big thing, not just for Saskatchewan but for the country.”

The ruling was a major step forward for equal rights among married partners in Canada, and was used as a model for similar developments nationwide in the following years.

The Matrimonial Property Act, which was passed unanimously before the legislature, was born as an answer to the public outcry resulting from two legal cases which left the matriarchs of the Murdoch and Rathwell families destitute.

These women, who had spent years raising their families and toiling as farmhands, were awarded nothing upon divorce simply because the law dictated that the courts would side with whoever had made direct financial contributions to the land title.

It gave women who were in the home some economic power that they never had before. It’s very significant from that point of view. — Louise Simard

“They were cases where the wife was not mentioned on the title of the land, and she’d worked all her life with the husband,” Schmeiser said.

“Come divorce, he could just sluff her off — give her nothing — and all her work was nothing.”

Louise Simard, who co-authored the Matrimonial Property Act with Schmeiser, emphasized that it was a positive move for anyone who was not the primary stakeholder in a family’s land ownership, regardless of their sex. In practice, however, the act proved to foremost be a monumental shift for the legions of women who had chosen to forego a career in favour of taking care of their family.

“It gave women who were in the home some economic power that they never had before. It’s very significant from that point of view,” Simard said.

Schmeiser’s decision to focus on law may have come from her own tenacious youth — “You should be a lawyer, because you’re always analyzing everything and you’re crossexamining everybody,” she recalls being told as a child — but the seeds were planted in her own early taste for the world of education.

As a child, she was taught early on to appreciate school and to take as much from it as possible.

“I was a hell of a student from the day I started school. I went in grade one, and it was like the world had opened up. All of a sudden I was having crayons and art and nature study and dinosaurs — the world. I just loved school because there was so much to learn,” she said.

As one of six children to immigrant parents, Schmeiser was lucky enough that her family’s farming operation had grown robust by time she started looking into post-secondary education. As a result, she was steadfastly encouraged to pursue whatever dreams she had her sights on.

Including Schmeiser, there were only three women enrolled in her year of the law program at the University of Saskatchewan. When the other two shifted schools prior to the start of year two, she took it as an opportunity to pull ahead of the boys and seize her place at the head

of the class — regardless of gender politics.

“I knew what I was doing. I knew that I had brains to conquer the guys that I was with. There were really some smart guys in our class, and I can’t take that away from them,” she said.

“I decided I was going to be top of the class, and that was going to be it.”

In 1957 she graduated from the College of Law with great distinction and a gold medal signifying her place at the head of her class.

Just six weeks prior to receiving her first degree — she would go on to

study philosophy as well, which she calls a natural companion to law — Schmeiser welcomed her daughter, Mary Ellen, into the world.

The child would be the first in Schmeiser’s own line of six, all of whom have become her own personal legacy.

Becoming a mother had its own challenges for Schmeiser, but the experience didn’t slow her down. The following years took her through time as a professor at the U of S, as a practicing lawyer, as president of the Saskatoon Bar Association and even a stint as a judge before a brain condition pushed her into retirement 20

years ago. Through it all, she kept her children at the forefront of her thoughts.

“It was up to me, and I really felt an onus to those children. In my mind, whatever I did, the children had to come first. I brought them into the world, and I figured it was up to me to bring them along and make worthwhile citizens of them,” she said.

“I’m really proud of them. I really admire my children. They’ve all done well.”

Looking back, Schmeiser doesn’t mince words when talking about the advantages she’s had in life.

She mentions an element of “luck”

which allowed her both the upbringing and education to do whatever she’s wanted in life. It’s a perspective which afforded her the chance to spend her life trying to bring the same opportunities she had to everyone, regardless of who they were or what society expected of them.

“I always fought, and always in my mind was that we’re all equal and everyone should give it their best. I hate — I guess I can say that — I hate discrimination,” Schmeiser said.

“Opportunities just presented themselves where I could go and do something, and I hope that I took advantage of them.”

Ask Ellie

Is it worth losing a friendship over a casual fling?

Q. This man and I met at a party I’d been invited to by my close girlfriend. We’ve been seeing each other for a month — a casual, physical relationship.

Recently, he said that a couple of years ago, he and my girlfriend had once kissed. She expressed interest in him, but he turned her down.

She’s since been in a relationship with someone else.

Do I continue my relationship with him or am I trespassing and betraying my really good friend?

Conflicted in London A. If you keep up the relationship, she may suspect that you heard about his rejection of her, and feel humiliated.

So tell her that you started seeing him, but had only just learned that they once had some brief history.

She may laugh it off or not care at all. But if she has a strong reaction, then decide if this casual relationship is worth losing her friendship.

Q. I’ve been married for 37 years and

Ask Ellie

don’t know if I want to be married anymore.

My sister-in-law hates me and I don’t know why. Three years ago, when a family member passed away, I went to represent my family as my husband works night shifts.

We were all standing outside talking to people and relatives that we don’t see often. My sister-in-law invited everyone back to her house for coffee, but not me.

I felt left out and upset, and walked to my car alone. Many people called out, “aren’t you coming?” My niece noticed and told her mom (my SIL).

I later told my husband. But he never questioned his sister about it. He

said that if I had a problem, maybe I should speak to her. She heard from family members that I was upset. We haven’t spoken since.

At family weddings, I’ve been cordial and say hello. No response.

Again, my husband says nothing.

We just had a funeral and because my husband doesn’t see this sister that often, he went to sit with her, leaving me alone. I was almost in tears.

People asked me to sit with them.

My husband doesn’t stick up for me. He always avoids this conversation. My kids tell him he should speak to his sister about me. His response is that she’s fine with him.

I’m resenting my husband and may stop going to places where I have to see her.

Awful Sister-in-Law A. Thirty-seven years — more than enough time to know the nature of your husband, his response to family, his reactions to stress.

He doesn’t want confrontation … and I’m guessing he’s always been that way.

Now you want him to challenge his sister for her rudeness to you three years ago, and her continued ignoring of you socially.

It’s not going to happen.

So the real question is this: What are you going to do about it? Break up your own family of husband and adult kids?

Sure, you can stop attending family events, but that’ll insult the relatives who support you.

You can be as rude as your nasty SIL, but that’ll put you on her level.

Instead, every time you walk in with your head held high and talk to decent people without overt rudeness to her, you put yourself on a higher plane.

At the funeral, he could’ve gone to acknowledge her then returned to sit with you. He doesn’t have that sensitivity. Or the courage to insult her.

But that doesn’t make a marriage breakup a better solution for you.

Q. I’ve been very loyal to my partner of 20 years (both seniors). We

don’t live together but I feel we’re monogamous. Recently, I mentioned marriage and he laughed in my face.

I was really hurt that he doesn’t care about me.

I supply all food, cook, clean, and wash. He never posts pictures of us together on Facebook. I think maybe he’s pursuing younger women.

He’s mostly at my home; I’ve been to his only three times.

It’ll be a painful breakup for me.

Also our racial problem’s a serious difficulty sometimes.

Should I Move On? A. You’re together a lot, and there’s no evidence that he’s pursuing others.

You’ve given a lot of yourself, but hopefully got companionship and affection in return.

You’ve also both managed the racial issue somehow.

Yes, his response was hurtful. Explain that you want mutual commitment and financial protections and that neither are laughing matters.

Make this a conversation, not a request.

Les Machazire:

Bow tie is fundamental

5.

By Ashley Martin One simple accessory is the key to Les Machazire’s dapper dress.

“I come to work wearing a bow tie every single day and that’s just who I am,” said Machazire, an IT consultant with Farm Credit Canada. “It’s not to make a statement or to impress people. It’s really to impress myself.”

Happenstance brought the bow tie into Machazire’s wardrobe eight years ago, even though he’d seen them all over the place in Birmingham, Ala., where he attended university.

He received one as a gift and was “instantly hooked,” even though that first bow tie didn’t fit well. He began a search for a better one and decided to get crafty when the hunt proved fruitless; he started making his own bow ties out of old neck ties.

Machazire collaborated with a seamstress to design a pattern and create the Dunn St. collection.

He’s also about to launch a website, bowtiesonly.com, to promote other independent bow tie designers and give more exposure to the accessory he loves. (Until then, find him on Twitter @hibowtiesonly.)

Machazire has 67 in his collection of mostly reclaimed fabric bow ties. He regularly gives bow ties to friends and sells them to people “to get them to feel what I feel” — that is, a sense of confidence and approachability, because people tend to comment on bow ties.

“It heightens that ... social curiosity; people are always complimenting on the bow ties that I wear.

“It’s an instant charmer.”

Once people learn to tie a bow tie — a skill that’s perceived as difficult — it’s like kids learning to tie their shoes, he said: “You just get so excited about it and you want to continue.”

Machazire prefers bow ties over neck ties because the former encourage thinking about the details of an entire outfit.

“For me, (a bow tie is) really accentuating the rest of the clothing that I’ve got.”

Machazire has thought about clothing since childhood, when he’d observe his accountant father dress in nice fitted suits every morning.

“I was in awe of how my dad would dress up.”

It left an impact on Machazire, whose style is now most reflective of his at-work habits.

“I dress in a way that says I care about details. I pay attention. I think it’s a positive statement.”

He’s fashionable — as are many of his FCC colleagues, he said — which bucks stereotypes of IT workers’ style.

“You would think it’s jeans, sneakers and T-shirts,” said Machazire. Indeed, at his last job, some of his co-workers were “a little more on the other side of casual,” but he doesn’t fault them for it.

“That’s fashion too, right? I think if people are comfortable with what they’re wearing, that makes a great difference in how productive they are.”

Bow ties are on the trendy side now, but even when the trend wanes, Machazire’s is forever.

“For me, a bow tie is always going to be permanent. Whether a fad or a trend goes away, you’ll still have people like me that wear them.

“And a bunch of university professors and legal scholars and judges,” he added with a laugh. amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

Perfect addition to the Prairie garden

By Sara Williams Herbaceous peonies (Paeonia lactiflora) have come a long way since they were introduced to Europe in the middle of the 18th century with hundreds (if not now thousands) of registered cultivars. They have been a standard in the Prairie garden for more than a century because of their cold hardiness, drought tolerance, longevity and showiness. But they sometimes lack sturdiness (needing peony rings for support), have a short flowering period and do not have an extensive colour range.

Tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa), illegally introduced from China by Robert Fortune in 1846, have what their herbaceous cousins lack: Sturdy stems, longer flowering period, high numbers of very large, of oftentimes fragrant flowers in a wide colour range (including yellow). Unfortunately, they lack sufficient hardiness to withstand a Prairie winter.

There is a third ornamental peony option, a hybrid of the herbaceous (Paeon section) and Asiatic tree (Moutan section) peonies dubbed the Itoh (or Intersectional) peony hybrid. Itoh hybrids have inherited the unique colours, larger flowers, high flower count and extended flowering period (from late spring to early summer) from their tree peony parentage. From their herbaceous parents, they have inherited the size, herbaceous characteristics and, most importantly, hardiness.

They bloom from late spring to early summer and within this period are classified as early, mid or late. Colours include white, pinks, reds, golden yellow, copper red and orange, often with contrasting flares at the base of the petals. Many are fragrant. Their attractive, finely cut foliage and strong stems (rarely. if ever, needing support) are also from their tree peony genes. They are extremely vigorous. The rounded bushes are about 3 x 3 ft.

Don’t expect instant gratification.

Like other peonies it may take four

years or longer to reach full size (but they should remain with you for decades). Once extremely rare they are becoming more common. And their rarity is sometimes reflected in their price, especially so with the newest introductions.

PROVEN PRAIRIE-HARDY CULTIVARS ‘Bartzella’ (Anderson, 1986) — large (6-8 in. diameter), semi-double to double, soft sulphur yellow flowers with red flares; floriferous; good substance; fragrant; strong 32 in. stems; fragrant; late mid-season.

‘Candy Cane’ (Smith, 2004) — semi-double to double, creamy yellow, lightly flushed pink with prominent bright red flares; some petals with deep lavender pink streaks; 6 in. diameter; 26 in. height; mild fragrance.

‘Cora Louise’ (Anderson, 1986) —

palest lavender fading to pure white, single or double flowers with lavender flares; flat in form; strong stems; dark green foliage; mid-season; 24 in. in height; some fragrance.

‘Morning Lilac’ (Anderson, 1992) — single to semi-double, lavenderfuchsia-pink with dark purple and white streaking; dark green foliage; 26-28 in. tall; mid-season.

‘Sequestered Sunshine’ (Anderson, 1999) — single to semi-double, canary yellow flowers 5-7 in. diameter with white carpals tipped with red stigmas and a ring of yellow stamens; fragrant; vigorous; dark green, dissected foliage; mid-season.

‘Singing in the Rain’ (Donald Smith, 2002) — semi-double, apricot, blooms appears light orange upon opening, fading to yellow, giving the plant a multi-coloured appearance; floriferous with many side-buds; lightly fragrant; mid-season.

‘Visions of Sugar Plums’ (Smith, date unknown) — large, single flowers, soft pink blending to a deeper pink at the petal edge; each petal has huge plum-colored flares towards the centre; midseason; height to 29 in.

‘Yankee Doodle Dandy’ (Smith, 2000) — semi-double to occasionally double rose-form flowers; attractive deep pink with cream undertones that fade slightly as the flowers mature, but remain attractive to petal drop; 6 in. in diameter; pleasant fragrance; 2-3 buds per stem; good substance, floriferous; midseason; excellent foliage; 36 in. height.

Recipe for weeknight lemon chicken-in-a-bag

By Melissa D’Arabian

fortable (by which I mean sweats).

Dinner, done!

Life is busy. We don’t always have the luxury of thumbing through our favourite cookbooks, marking appealing recipes with sticky notes for dinners sometime off in the future when we will somehow have time to saltcure a cod or dry-age a side of beef in our garage fridge. Sometimes, we just need to get dinner on the table. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it should still be tasty and nutritious.

Enter the chicken leg and thigh!

Often overlooked by the healthy cook due to its higher fat content, dark chicken meat is underappreciated. Yes, the dark meat has a few more grams of fat than the white meat of the breasts (a 3 1/2-ounce serving of breast meat has about 4 grams of fat, while the same amount of dark meat has just under 6 grams). And the higher cholesterol of the dark meat means the breast probably still should be in your rotation.

But chicken legs and thighs are luscious in texture and full of flavour and protein (about 28 grams per serving). They also are much lower in saturated fat than most cuts of red meat, and they offer more iron per serving than chicken breasts. Perhaps most important of all for the busy weeknight cook is that bone-in dark meat chicken is very forgiving in terms of cooking time. Which is to say, it is very hard to overcook dark chicken meat.

So on weeknights when my husband and I both have to work and one daughter has dance and the other three have soccer, lacrosse and more soccer, I totally appreciate the forgiveness offered by the dark meat.

One of my favourite weeknight chicken leg and thigh strategies is to load them up in a large plastic bag in the morning, dump in some veggies and a quick marinade, then just toss the whole thing into the refrigerator to sit all day. After work, I dump the contents of the bag into a baking dish and pop it into the oven while I change into something more com-

WEEKNIGHT LEMON CHICKEN DINNER-IN-ABAG Start to Finish: 1 hour, plus marinating Servings: 4 > 8 bone-in chicken drumsticks or thighs, or a mix > 1/4 cup lemon juice > 1/4 cup olive oil > 3 cloves garlic, minced > 2 teaspoons dried thyme > 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) > Kosher salt and ground black pepper > 1 large red or yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges > 4 medium red potatoes, halved 1. Using a paper towel in each hand to help grip the chicken pieces, remove and discard the skin by pulling it off.

2. In a 2-gallon zip-close plastic bag, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and a hefty pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken, onion and potatoes, seal the bag and gently turn over several times to evenly coat the contents with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours, turning the bag once or twice if convenient.

3. When ready to cook, heat the oven to 375 F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Dump the contents of the bag onto the pan, spread into an even layer, then bake uncovered until the chicken registers 175 F at the thickest parts, about 40 minutes. If the potatoes and onions brown too quickly on one side, turn them for more even cooking.

Nutrition information per serving: 610 calories; 220 calories from fat (36 per cent of total calories); 25 g fat (5 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 240 mg cholesterol; 540 mg sodium; 40 g carbohydrate; 5 g fibre; 5 g sugar; 55 g protein.

WINE WORLD #

DR. BOOZE

Gin is a trendy drink with a growing following

By James Romanow You want to be a trendy drinker? You need to start drinking gin. It’s hot stuff in the U.K., Portland, L.A., N.Y.C., and growing fast.

Boutique distillers like LB are giving the stuff their own spin, but the traditional styles of London Dry, Jenever (Dutch) and Plymouth (must be made in Plymouth, England) predominate. Even giant traditional labels such as Tanqueray are producing limited release versions (Rangpur, Malacca and the newest, Bloomsbury) that are well worth seeking out.

The real reason to drink gin is it makes some of the best summer cocktails going. And if you aren’t much with the shaker and bitters you can make a superb drink by slicing a lime, adding ice and then using a quality tonic — which is 80 per cent of what you’re drinking — like Fentiman’s. (Watch health food stores and Coop Food Stores for supplies. I buy a case at a time due to intermittent supply.)

Thrifty readers will be interested to know that I have lately become a fan of Sahara Gin, an Alberta product. Although claimed to be a “London Style Dry Gin,” it is a fair bit different. The palate emphasizes the spices (licorice, angelica) more than the juniper and citrus. It makes a fine G&T although I prefer it with lemon instead of lime, which can overpower the subtler, quieter palate.

The other extreme is the Bloomsbury Gin pictured. It’s a recipe from the 1880s and is pretty far into the piney-woods part of the palate. It’s a new Tanqueray and only released to some prestige bars and retailers. I’d watch for it at places like the Banff Springs Hotel, probably the Seattle W Hotel, etc.

Sahara Gin, $25 **** Bloomsbury Gin $42 ***** More wine in Monday’s StarPhoenix and as always on Twitter @drbooze.
