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

IRWIN KAHAN

Tending the Tree of Life a memoir Writing my memoir was easy, because all I had to do was talk. My oldest daughter Barbara asked me questions about my life, I answered her, she commented on what I said — it was like having a conversation.

She typed my answers down on her computer and then edited the manuscript. When she read the revised manuscript to me, I told her what changes to make.

We worked on my memoir for years. Most often we talked on the phone, because I moved away from Saskatchewan after I retired; sometimes, though, our discussions were in person, when I visited Barbara in Regina. I grew up in the Jewish farming community near Lipton, and

the good times in my life, from the colts I played with when I was little to meeting my wife Fannie. And reflecting on how my work helped people made me feel that my life had value, which is important at the age of 95.

Being part of the Saskatchewan research team in the 1950s that developed a new treatment approach to schizophrenia and also explored LSD was exciting, and I think contributed a great deal to the psychiatric field. I am also proud of my decades of fighting for better treatment and care of people with mental illness when I was with the Canadian Mental Health Association (Saskatchewan division) and later as founding direc-

most of my 35year social work career was based out of Regina, so I’ve always loved going back to my home province.

Sometimes Barbara brought Irwin Kahan up topics I preferred not to dwell on, such as the tough times on the farm during the drought, and the Second World War. But I talk about them in the memoir so that people are aware of the history that shapes our lives.

In general, I enjoyed writing the memoir. I liked reminiscing about

Full Time/Part Time Employment

tor of the Canadian Schizophrenia Foundation. I am sad, though, that people with mental illness are still not treated as well as they should be.

I hope that my memoir will remind everyone that people with mental illness need as much attention and as many resources as people with physical illness.

Tending the Tree of Life features illustrations by Wendy Winter.

I try to be approachable. My door is always open. — Corrin Harper

CORRIN HARPER

Forging a new future for her firm

By Ashleigh Mattern Reaching the position of CEO of a company can sometimes be difficult.

There are often layers of administration, and long delays in getting a response. Not at Insightrix, a multinational market research firm with roots in Saskatchewan.

“We have a very flat structure here,” says Corrin Harper, president and CEO of Insightrix. Harper is on the cleaning schedule for the kitchen like all the other staff members. “I try to be approachable. My door is always open.”

Part of the reason her door needs to stay open is to let Presley the of office dog wander around. Presley is a scruffy grey dog with the official title of “chief morale officer.” In 2008, Harper found the dog on the highway and decided to give him a home.

“He comes here every day and kind of hangs out with people,” says Harper. “We work in a deadline environment, so it’s good to have him around to make people feel a little bit relaxed.”

The whole environment at the Insightrix office in Saskatoon is a bit different than you might expect. Insightrix co-owner Larry Goodfellow says their current space was a “rat maze” before they renovated; “I actually got lost in here,” he says.

Harper had a vision for the space, though: an open office environment.

They tore down most of the walls, creating a space where your coworker is just a chair’s swivel away.

Goodfellow calls it “the swivel factor” — if you have a question, you can just turn around and ask your neighbour.

••• The shared chores, the office dog and the open-concept workspace are all part of a new future Harper envisions for market research. “(Research firms) are a little bit more static, a little bit more conservative, a little bit more dry,” she says.

Insightrix president and CEO Corrin Harper sits in the company’s focus group observation room.

As a business owner, I don’t think you really strive for balance. If you enjoy what you are doing, balance is less of an issue. — Harper

“But research doesn’t need to be that way. In marketing, you are encouraged to take risks and try different things; I don’t know why research would be any different.”

Insightrix’s “SaskatcheWHAT?!” video is one example of their sense of humour. In the video, a research team tries to interview a group of Saskatchewanians, but ends up baf baffled by the use of words like gibbled, bunnyhug and gotch. On YouTube, the clip has almost 300,000 views.

As a market research firm, Insightrix is essentially in the business of answering questions. Clients such as the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Cameco Corp. and SGI hire Insightrix to help the companies learn more about the people they serve.

“We have a strong reputation for being creative in our approaches, leading in our industry,” says Harper. “I’m always looking at new and different ways of approaching things.”

She and her staff regularly attend conferences all over the world, learning everything they can about current research practices. Research may sound dry, but Harper projects an infectious enthusiasm about the topic.

At a recent conference, she learned about a

company that styled a communications document like a comic book.

“That’s cool, because would you rather read a comic book, or read a report?” she says.

Harper collects ideas like these, tucking them away for future inspiration.

••• Her open, creative approach to running the business has reaped rewards: In 2014, she made Profit and Chatelaine’s list of Canada’s Top 100 Women Entrepreneurs.

The ranking is based on the business’s size, growth rate and profitability.

“I phoned my mom first thing,” she says.

Harper made the list again in 2015. While she’s incredibly humble, she admits that making the list in both 2014 and 2015 is a marker that she’s doing something right.

“You kind of sit back and you realize, going through the history of everything that we have done, we have made some right decisions. I would say we have made some wrong ones, too, but you know you’ve made some right ones.”

Being an entrepreneur is not always easy.

Harper says that it’s tempting for entrepreneurs to take on too much.

When you are working for somebody else, and you are going to work really hard, you kind of figure, why don’t I just work for myself? — Harper

“As a business owner, I don’t think you really strive for balance,” she says. “If you enjoy what you are doing, balance is less of an issue.”

Harper says she does occasionally fall into the trap of overdoing it, and when that happens, she knows it’s time to take a break. To unwind, she travels and she practices yoga. Sometimes she pursues both hobbies at the same time, like when she attended a yoga retreat in Mexico last year.

Yoga is one of her favourite everyday escapes: “It’s a place to think about something else. When you are there, that’s all you can think about ... You feel so good af after.”

••• Harper grew up on a farm outside of Sturgis in east-central Saskatchewan, but she says the family business of running a farm was not

her inspiration for entrepreneurship.

In fact, she never expected to be her own boss. She earned a bachelor of commerce from the University of Saskatchewan, majoring in health care and administration, and spent the next several years working in that field.

Then everything changed after she completed her MBA and started working for a consulting company owned by Goodfellow. She found they were often contracting other businesses to do market research for them, and eventually Goodfellow and Harper partnered, founding Insightrix Research in October 2001.

Goodfellow notes that entrepreneurship is recognizing an opportunity and bringing the idea from first flushes into fruition. “Moving that idea to actual fruition has been (Corrin’s) strength,” he says.

Today, the business has expand-

ed to include Wagatale Communications, a subsidiary company, and an Insightrix office in Australia.

The Australian office was formed when Insightrix staff member Avril Hogan moved there, and saw an opportunity. Now the managing director of the Insightrix Australia office, Hogan discovered the province of Victoria was much like Saskatchewan.

“You sort of feel like you are in Saskatchewan,” says Harper, who has travelled there as part of her work as president and CEO. “They are in the agricultural sector. When you tell them you are from Saskatchewan, they right away know everything about it ... There is a really strong connection between the two (provinces).”

While travelling between the of offices is rather cumbersome, Harper says Insightrix does take advantage of having two offices on opposite sides of the world: “They call

They’re currently looking at moving the office from Horsham, Victoria, to Sydney, and Harper will be there to oversee the move.

Spending more than a day in airports and on planes to visit her of office on the other side of the world is all part of the adventure in entrepreneurship for Harper, and she says no matter how hard it gets, she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“When you are working for somebody else, and you are going to work really hard, you kind of figure, why don’t I just work for myself ?” she says.

“It’s a feeling of control, too; you have control over your destiny as an entrepreneur. I don’t think luck is ever part of it. I think if you work hard, it will eventually come ... It’s kind of liberating.”

THE ROARING BOREALIS

Band brings bluegrass to La Ronge

La Ronge band The Roaring Borealis performs at the Napatak Ramble music festival.

By Ashley Martin The key to The Roaring Borealis’s old-timey percussion might be found in a dump or in your grandmother’s attic.

An old suitcase. A washboard. A tin can. A cowbell.

All that’s left of Colin Jolly’s standard drum kit is the snare — which he plays with brushes, not sticks — and the kick pedal, which now beats against a hardcover valise.

The wood-and-corrugated-metal washboard at his chest is decorated with a cowbell and a tin can for more diverse sounds.

“The nice thing is you can get pretty creative; you can add whatever you want” to the washboard, said guitarist Kyle Faulkner, Jolly’s bandmate in the La Ronge-based folk band.

“There’s people who’ve added bicycle horns and hotel lobby bells and all kinds of things.”

The instrument presented a learning curve for Jolly, “With the washboard, there’s not a whole lot of guidance out there for a new player. Mostly it was just Colin getting creative,” Faulkner said in a phone interview from Parry Sound, Ont., where he was wait-

ing out the northern Saskatchewan wildfires.

The Roaring Borealis got its start as Faulkner and Jolly, two Ontario ex-pats, started playing music together in La Ronge a few years ago.

They jammed for the odd show, playing typical rock covers at curling bonspiel after-parties. Their band name then was a reflection of that — The Bonspielers.

They found their bluegrassy niche about a year and a half ago, after Pat Hanley joined in. Hanley, with his fiddle and mandolin, “had a vision of what he thought our

sound could be,” said Faulkner.

“We were up for something new, so it just kind of worked out that way.”

The band’s “country-folk-bluegrass kind of mix” was rounded out a few months later when the trio of school teachers added husband and wife Jim and Tabitha Burr, who each play bass and guitar.

The band bills as playing “hurtin’ music for happy people,” harmonizing on slower songs and picking up the pace with hand-clapping, footstomping numbers.

The bluegrass niche makes for a challenge in songwriting, said

Faulkner, “trying to match a style that’s so much older ... a lot just based on raw emotion.”

But covering songs presents a dif different challenge: Putting a country spin on pop-rock songs like Baba O’Riley (The Who) and So Lonely (The Police) doesn’t always work out.

“A song that sounds really interesting in the original style can sound really monotonous” as a cover, said Faulkner.

The Roaring Borealis is part of a burgeoning northern music scene; Jolly specifically is a big contributor, said Faulkner.

Jolly started a youth music program at Churchill High School, which is fostering the next generation of local musicians.

“It’s kind of developing a bigger music scene in La Ronge,” said Faulkner.

Jolly has also hosted touring musicians in house concerts every couple of months, which three years ago led to the foundation of the Napatak Ramble music festival in the forest south of La Ronge.

“Other communities our size ... you’d have to travel to go see some of these acts.

It’s pretty special,” said Faulkner. “Talking to some of the musicians who are from Saskatchewan who haven’t really made their way up north before, I think they’re not really

MARIAN HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

Marian High School, which was established by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions in 1963, closed its doors in 1990. But it never closed the books on its alumni. A quarter of a century after the all-girls high school closed, former students, teachers and nuns from across Canada and the United States reunited in Regina to reminisce and rekindle old friendships. A wine-and-cheese gathering was held in the Capital Ballroom at the DoubleTree by Hilton on July 24 to kick off a two-day reunion. Sandra Szeponski, one of the event’s four organizers, said the highlight of the reunion was seeing old friends. For her, it was about reuniting with members of “The Dirty Dozen” — a close-knit group of high-school friends. Debbie Ward could relate to the Marian students as well as the former teachers because she was there in both capacities. In fact, she started her teaching career at Marian. “It was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start,” she said. Students in Grade 9 when Ward graduated were still at Marian when she returned as a teacher. “It was great going back.” The Marian reunion also featured an afternoon of fun at Willow Island, as well as a banquet Saturday night.

Strawberries ripe for the picking

By Sara Williams There is no comparison between the taste of fresh strawberries from your own garden and those that have earned air miles en route from California or Mexico, especially now as the local season started a few weeks ago and runs until September. And growing your own is not difficult.

Begin with the site — full sun with shelter from the wind. Avoid lowlying areas that are susceptible to frost damage. Strawberries do best in a well-drained soil that has been cultivated to 10-12 inches and then generously amended with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure.

Plant them in mid-spring, being careful not to allow the young plants (especially their roots) to dry out.

Place them 12 inches apart within the row with the rows 3 ft. apart.

The mid-point of the crown should be level with the soil surface. Do not cover the crown with soil. Gentry firm the soil around the roots and water thoroughly to the depth of the root system and beyond.

Mulch with a few inches of clean straw beneath the foliage and extending about 8-10 inches on either side of the plants. Do not cover the crown with mulch. The straw mulch will reduce weeds, maintain soil moisture and keep the foliage and fruit clean. As well, it will prevent the splash of soil borne disease organisms, such as grey mould, (Botrytis) onto the fruit.

Control weeds between rows with either additional mulch or the business end of a hoe. Apply one inch of water weekly, more if extremely hot or windy. Once established, sidedress the rows with a fertilizer such as 16-20-0 applied according to label directions.

Ripe and ready strawberries are completely red. No further ripening will occur once they are off the plant. Fruit is best picked in the early morning while it is still cool.

Leave the “cap” and stem on the berry. Avoid harvesting after a rain

or irrigation. Wet fruit deteriorates more quickly. If disease is present, you’ll be spreading it as you move from plant to plant. Refrigerate the berries as soon as possible.

Young plants are generally more productive than older plants. To

maintain the ‘youth’ of your patch, direct daughter plants (at the end of rampant runners) back into the row — they’ll root on their own. To prevent the row from becoming a solid mat, remove older mother plants at the end of the season.

Winter protection is needed where snow protection is not dependable.

Cover the plants with 10-15 cm of weed-free straw once temperatures drop to –5 C for several nights running and before –7 hits. Remove mulch in early spring once danger

of frost is passed or the plants begin to actively grow.

Whereas your grandparents had limited choices, three types of strawberries are now commonly grown on the Prairies: June-bearing, everbearing and day-neutral.

Check a local nursery before choosing which variety of strawberry to grow.

June-bearing varieties produce a single crop each year during a three- to four-week period in late June and July. Once fruiting is complete, the plant sends out runners that produce additional plants.

Everbearing cultivars generally fruit twice a year, from late June to early July and again in late August. The fruit is generally softer and less abundant than June-bearers or day-neutrals.

Day-neutral cultivars do not depend on day length to produce flower buds; therefore, they produce fruit throughout the growing season.

Production is generally heaviest in June and then in August and September. Their total production is greater than the other two types. And they generally produce a good crop their first year.

There are many varieties to choose from.

Solution to the crossword puzzle and the Sudoku can be found on Page 23

Q: My married brother (with whom I work in a family business) has been acting very friendly and even flirty with the new girl we hired.

She’s just out of college and very sure of herself, even though she’s new on the job.

Maybe it’s because of her great figure, and she’s pretty too, she knows that men are attracted to her.

I’ve seen my brother standing way too close.

He’s been “showing her around” the area at lunchtime and coming back late, etc.

I don’t think it’s become an affair, but I’m worried.

What can I say to him without accusing him of something and making him angry with me? We have a very good working relationship.

Sister Act A: It should be acceptable, in a good business relationship, to say something nonaccusing but real ... such as, “You seem distracted at work, which is unlike you. Is there a reason? Anything we can talk about?”

If you’re close, he might open up about being attracted to her. Or not. But he’ll privately realize that his actions are visible and he should re-think what he’s doing.

If the optics begin to look more worrisome, suggest that you two have an after-work meeting.

Once alone, describe objectively what you see is going on, tell him you care about him and his family, and ask if he has a plan for handling the fallout of where this flirtation may all go.

His crush may’ve progressed towards an af affair, in which case try to have a reality-check conversation about what he sees for the future.

Try to bring him back to earth about the practical course of such liaisons — what may be just a fling to him and the young worker can potentially devastate his family.

Q: My daughter keeps talking about her crush on her boyfriend at college. I hear signals of everything I would’ve warned her against if I’d met him first.

He brags about being an athlete (though he doesn’t participate in any college sport). He misses classes he finds “useless,” and leans on her tutoring him to get through some courses.

He tells her what clothes, makeup, etc. to buy (he never buys her a gift, but frequently encourages her to spend my money since I support her).

She’s crazy about him. If I openly criticize

Ask Ellie

him, I can push her closer. How do I fight a blind crush?

Worried Mama A: You’re a Wise Mama to know the danger in just trying to come between her and this guy. Out of pride, she’d feel almost obliged to prove you wrong.

Her boyfriend sounds controlling. If he realizes you’re set against him, he’ll manipulate her into thinking that you’re the one trying to control her. It can become a dangerous battle of wills with her caught in the middle.

She’s NOT blind, so gently help her open her eyes and see this guy more clearly.

Invite him to your home, be gracious, and let her see how he handles himself and responds to your family members.

Talk to him without judgment, showing interest in his goals and his plans to reach them. Do this when your daughter can also hear what he says.

Also, in private with your daughter, be prepared to listen to her reasons for caring for him, and to not overreact.

Once she doesn’t have to defend him, she won’t be “blind” to anything that bothers her about him.

Q: I met and felt an instant vibe with a woman in my profession. But we were then both married.

I never forgot her. When I separated, I sought her out at professional events and we’d talk.

Finally, at a conference, I invited her for a drink. She confessed then that she was unhappily married and had maintained a crush on me.

We’ve been married five years now, grateful for that mutual feeling that we had the potential for something special as a couple.

Mutually Drawn A: This was the crush that grew into a romance… over time. Neither of you acted on it frivolously when you were married to others.

And that’s what helped it endure.

Most crushes start with attraction, but the rest is usually fantasy beyond what you actually know about the person. You two did get to know each other. You dealt with your marriages until you each knew you had to move on.

PIZZA OVENS

Little change in design of past millennia

By Susan Greer Backyard pizza ovens are hot, hot, hot.

Besides being designed to reach “optimal” cooking temperatures upward of 425 C to 540 C, demand has grown “exponentially” since Allan Ham started selling the ovens five years ago.

Propane and gas-fuelled variations on traditional ovens are being carried by major retailers.

Some home builders are including this old-fashioned, wood-fired “technology” in high-end, indoor kitchens, says Ham, owner of Outdoor Pizza Ovens near Barrie, Ont. Although the construction materials are better today, the classic ovens

have changed little in centuries — a stone hearth covered by a stonelined dome with a chimney. There is insulation behind the stone and the outside can be stucco, brick or mosaic tile.

But the traditional wood-fired ovens, with cooking surfaces from 30 to 112 centimetres or larger, don’t come cheap. Even medium-sized readymade units start at more than $2,000 and the largest, most elaborate ones can be closer to $9,000 (shipping and stands not necessarily included).

Ham sees potential in a Finnishinspired product that’s not much bigger than a suitcase, sits on a picnic table, uses wood pellets as fuel and heats to more than 425 C in 10 minutes. It costs $400.

“But here’s the thing. If you buy a little one, you’re going to wish you had a bigger one,” says Ham, who says the most popular size cooking surface with his customers is 91 centimetres.

About half his buyers buy kits to build their own, but even those run from about $1,200 to $5,000.

So why invest thousands of dollars to return to a form of cooking that’s been around for millennia?

“I think we’re all drawn to fire,” Ham says. “It’s in our DNA. The oven door’s open all the time and you see the fire and you see your food cooking right before your eyes.”

It’s very social, with guests able to create and bake their own pizzas.

“And ultimately it’s the taste of the

food” and the wood smoke that gives even familiar dishes a new flavour.

There are two basic kinds of woodfired outdoor ovens.

In a “black oven,” the wood burns on the stone floor. Depending on the oven’s size and quality of the wood, it takes 45 to 90 minutes to heat the oven to optimal temperature, Ham says.

The extreme temperatures radiating from all sides of the dome make cooking very fast — about 90 seconds for a pizza, for example.

In “white ovens,” the fire chamber is below the oven. You don’t have to clean up wood or ash, but “they don’t hold their heat into the next day or you can’t grill in that oven. It’s just basically an oven or a smoker.”

Spanish blend great with sunshine and lunch

By James Romanow There are some wines that cry out for sitting on a patio somewhere. The sunshine, salads and lunch have a tendency to segue gently into absenteeism, dusk, appetizers and dinner.

Before you know it you are promoted for your deep insights and it is suggested you take more afternoons off.

OK, that last sentence may be a wine-induced fantasy, but there is no doubt about the line that precedes it. Some wines are built for sunshine, salads and sipping. Usually they come from sunny places where the winters are mild and the summers blistering. Who can argue with wisdom earned from such a climate?

I came across a unique Spanish blend recently, called goRu. I have no idea what the name is intended to evoke. It’s labelled as a blend of Moscatel and Chardonnay. I suspect this means a blend of Muscat of Alexandria with the Chardonnay. It is vaguely possible it is a Muscat Petit Grains, but I’m betting on the Alexander varietal from the palate.

The bouquet is classic chardonnay but with a hint of marmalade to it, orange peel and maybe some honey (my reason for suspecting Muscat of Alexandria). There’s a lovely complex palate of fruit with some great brisk acidity and a very nice slightly bitter finish. This is a great white wine for sipping or lunch. (I

drank it with half a chicken breast and the salad pictured.)

Whether this is your first glass of the evening or an accompaniment to barbecued shrimp, it is an excellent wine to enjoy this summer. goRu el Blanco, 2014. $15 **** Will it be a red? A white?
