HSG // DISH

ce cream is one of the most delicious ways to beat the summer heat, but not all ice cream is equal. Don't settle for a big container of the cheap stuff—it just doesn't taste as good, and it's mostly air, anyway. Instead, treat yourself to a scoop of Pinocchio, which is made right here in town. Pinocchio Ice Cream was founded in 1981 by Salvatore Ursino, a furniture maker who was looking for a career change. Despite the poor economic climate at the time—not unlike the current situation Alberta is facing, only with much higher interest rates—the business took off immediately, selling over 20 000 cones during the month of August. "He started back in the '80s when we had that recession and interest rates were 16 to 20 percent—who starts an ice-cream business at that time?" Tom Ursino says. "But it actually flourished, because people are always looking for comfort." Ursino is Salvatore's son and current president of Pinocchio Ice Cream, having taken over from his dad some time ago. (Salvatore is 85 but still works two days a week.) The company sells to a number of grocery stores around town, notably the Italian Centre, which is the company's biggest grocery customer; Pinocchio also supplies over 130 restaurants around Edmonton as well as various special events, from school trips to weddings. Pinocchio makes a range of products—from standard ice cream to 34

Dish

gelato, sorbet and sherbet—in a huge range of flavours. Back when he started the business, Ursino's father learned how to make ice cream from a professional gelato maker in Italy; the company still follows the same techniques today. That, combined with Pinocchio's use of premium ingredients such as local Alberta cream and flavourings like Belgian chocolate, Madagascar vanilla and Sicilian pistachio paste is why its products are so much higher quality than other brands on the market. "The more commercial product, with lower pricing—you'll find a lot more air in the product," Ursino explains. "If you let it melt, it sometimes can go down to 20 percent of the packaging. ... Our ice cream contains less sugar than most other ice creams out there, up to 30-percent, 35-percent less sugar. ... We have maybe seven or eight ingredients in our product, instead of 20, 25 ingredients, and you can pretty much understand what they all are; our stabilizers are all plant derived. "It's just the cost that people don't understand," he continues, addressing why people commonly question the price of Pinocchio's products. "When you take a four-litre container of ours, and you take a four-litre container of some other lower-end product that's full of air, you'll get twice as many scoops out of the pail [of ours]." Ice cream differs from gelato in a couple of different ways: gelato contains less air than ice cream, as well

as less fat. In Canada, dairy products are regulated according to milk fat. Sherbet has the lowest milk-fat content at no more than five percent, while ice cream must have a minimum of 10-percent milk fat. Sorbet, however, contains no dairy products whatsoever—though it's often used somewhat erroneously as another term for sherbet, since "sorbet" is the French word for sherbet. (Pinocchio's sorbet is a true sorbet, with no dairy product in it.) Even more confusingly, gelato contains less milk fat than ice cream but more than sherbet; usually around six to seven percent, Ursino notes. But unfortunately in Canada, there are no governmental regulations on the use of the term gelato, so it could potentially vary significantly in milk-fat content. Pinocchio's range of products also come in a rainbow of flavours. Ursino notes that he's coming up with new flavours constantly ("every night at 2 am," he chuckles) and identifies strawberry lemonade sorbet as one of the newest. Classic vanilla is one of Pinocchio's most popular choices, as well as pistachio—which has had the largest growth in the last year—and salted caramel and chocolate. They've also experimented with some funky stuff. "I'm experimenting with smoked flavours now; I just made a smoked whisky [ice cream] last week," Ursino says. "It was good; I just need to use some better-quality whisky!" Hot Summer Guide JUN 2 – SEP 5, 2016

Ice cream and gelato made with various liquors, from beer and wine to whisky, are the "in" thing right now, Ursino explains. For last year's Edmonton Craft Beer Festival, he used beer from Hogs Head and Alley Kat to create ice cream; this year he's using moonshine from the new Red Cup Distillery in Vegreville. He had experimented with similar alcohol-based flavours years ago, but they weren't very popular back then. "I think I was ahead of the time," he says. Not all of Pinocchio's flavours have worked out, though. Ursino recalls an instance when a local restaurant (which he won't name) requested a truffle ice cream—truffle mushroom, not chocolate. "It was awful," Ursino says with a wry laugh. The demand for Pinocchio Ice Cream is higher than ever: despite Alberta's economic downturn, the company's growth has been significant. "We were actually up 25 percent in March," Ursino says. "We got an early spring this year, and that's why we're behind right now and we're growing exponentially right now." Accordingly, Pinocchio's been making plans for expansion: more machinery was purchased last year, and the hunt is on for a larger facility— the business has outgrown its current 5000-square-foot warehouse. Pinocchio's also hiring: right now, there's only a staff of three. Ursino explains that he's hoping to fill two more positions fairly soon, as they

Pinocchio Ice Cream 12814 - 163 Street 780.455.1905 pinocchioicecream.ca team's already swamped with orders for the summer. The Italian pavilion at the Heritage Festival alone— which Pinocchio has supplied for over 20 years—sells more than 12 000 cups of gelato. Even though the festival isn't until the long weekend at the beginning of August, he's already started filling those cups. The company will also be changing its grocery-store packaging, switching to a smaller half-litre (instead of a full litre) size. Ursino notes that people associate the smaller sizes with more premium product, so that's why he made the switch. Incidentally, the biggest growth has been in the small, four-ounce cup size, which he says are popular because they're quick and easy, and are useful for portion control. Slowly but surely, Pinocchio Ice Cream is starting to creep outside Edmonton's borders. It's branched out to the Italian Centre in Calgary as well as a few spots in Lacombe. Ursino just recently took a request from someone in Redwater, as well. "People are saying they know our name," he says. "A lot of restaurants are starting to put our name on the menu."

HSG // JUICING

Drink your veggies

Cold-pressed juices beat the summer heat—for a price

have paid $12 for a 237-ml juice before. This wasn't your run-of-themill grocery store OJ, either—it was a delicious cocktail of fennel, cucumber, green apple and basil. That was in Los Angeles—technically, the juice actually cost me $15.04 CDN—at a trendy juice café called Moon Juice that specializes in cold-pressed juices and pressed (almond-based) milks. Nonetheless, I've paid similar amounts for cold-pressed juice in Canada, too. If you're puzzled by the mention of cold-pressed juice, you're not alone: it's relatively new in these parts, first gaining traction in Calgary with the openings of Cru Juice, Juice Because, Mamasu and Well Juicery in the last couple of years. It has been trending elsewhere—Toronto, Vancouver, New York City, Los Angeles and Sydney, Australia—since around 2010. "Juicing is this super easy means in which to obtain a lot of fruits and vegetables [in your diet]," says Mike McGinn, founder of RevoJuiceinary in Edmonton. "The appeal of cold-pressed juices stems from a desire to be able [to] obtain a lot of the health benefits from eating homemade, healthy, whole foods, but lacking the time or energy to do this day in and day out," he con-

tinues. "Juices and smoothies, when made properly, can be a great substitution for these wholesome meals. I think we are certainly seeing a shift in how people are viewing food—instead of just a pleasurable necessity—now as a tool to increase your energy, feel happier and become more grounded." McGinn started his company in August 2014 in response to the lack of cold-pressed juice offerings in the Edmonton area. At that time, coldpressed juice was still mostly a thing of fiction on the prairies. Being from the East Coast, McGinn was already well-versed in the juicing world, so he invested in a small-scale pressing machine in order to create his own line of organic juices. Initially offering five cold-pressed juices, RevoJuiceinary has now extended its line to 13 juices, smoothies and mylks, all of which cost $10 for a 500-ml bottle. That's very similar in price to Glow Juicery, another local juice company, which charges $9 for a 473-ml bottle. So, what's the deal with the price? Ultimately, these companies have to make a profit—and making fresh, coldpressed juice has a lot of extra costs involved than other types of juice. For starters, fresh produce is al-

most always higher in price than the canned or frozen variety. Certain ingredients also yield lower amounts of juice than others, such as leafy greens like kale versus oranges. Choosing to use all organic ingredients, like Revojuicenary does, will also significantly impact the cost. "We make certain decisions based on what we believe each juice should offer," McGinn explains. "For example, buying only organic is going to increase your cost. If that's not a concern for you, then yes, you can make your own juice [for] cheaper. Obviously there's labour, delivery and all that stuff that goes into it as well, but we try to keep that fairly low." The high cost of cold-pressed juice can also be chalked up to the process by which it's made. Most traditional home juicers use a centrifugal system, which uses fast-spinning blades to extract the juice from the produce. That process oxidizes and heats up the produce, resulting in a loss of nutrients. In comparison, the coldpressed method keeps 100 percent of the produce's nutritional value intact by coaxing out the vitamins, phytochemicals and minerals through

hydraulic pressure that requires no heat. Additionally, the coldpressed method allows juice to maintain its nutrient value for up to 72 hours, while a centrifugal juice can lose those nutrients in 10 minutes, Amanda Chantal Bacon, owner of Moon Juice, explains over email. Given all this, it seems like a practical choice to switch over to a cold-press from a centrifugal system, right? Unfortunately, while home juicers can cost anywhere from $300 to $600, coldpress systems, such as the Norwalk Hydraulic Press, can cost you $2495. Add that to the already steep price of fresh, organic produce, the cost of production (bottles, labels, etc), and you have a recipe for a very expensive bottle of juice. Cold-pressed juices offer great health benefits, but McGinn suggests not using it as a weight-loss system or food replacement—something he notes is a common advertising ploy from juicing companies. "I both love and hate the health-industry marketing, because in one sense, I do truly believe that a lot of the North

American diet is messed up and a lot of health issues we see [are] from the high sugar/ high fat and processed food out there," he reflects. "But I also have a strong [concern] for when things are being advertised as the ultimate weight loss solution and it's going to cleanse your body of every issue. "Everything is cancer-healing, cancerhealing, cancer-healing," he continues. "A lot of these diseases are so complex, so you can't just say that drinking celery juice is going to cure you. My thoughts on doing a juice cleanse or even just incorporating juice into your diet is not to see it as a miracle cure, but as a tool to get you on the right track." So, should you buy into the coldpressed trend? If you have a few dollars to spare, then go ahead: it's an easy way to get your daily fruitand-veggie intake. Or you could take the DIY route and start making your own—but start saving now for a Norwalk Hydraulic Press. JASMINE SALAZAR

Beer cocktails

Beat the heat with these beer-y twists on classic beverages

ocktails aren't just made from spirits: you can mix up delicious drinks using beer, too. While true beer purists will snub their nose at such treatment, there's no denying the thirst-quenching power of a fizzy, cold, beer-based beverage—especially on a sunny patio. All types of beer contribute a refreshing effervescence to a cocktail. Different styles of beer will give their own unique elements to a drink: dark, malty beers like stouts and porters will give a lot of roasted sweetness, while light, hoppy beers like lagers and India Pale Ales will contribute citrusy bitterness and acidity. Just like regular cocktails, there are no hard rules to follow: beer drinks can be as simple or as complicated as you like—and the sky is the limit as far as creativity goes. Of course, beer cocktails will taste best with good-quality beer, but they are also an easy way to disguise the flavour of less-than-stellar beer. Shandy This is the easiest way to start playing with beer as a cocktail ingredient: a shandy is simply beer mixed with a soft drink or fruit juice, commonly ginger ale, ginger beer, carbonated lemonade, orange juice or apple juice. The ratio is approximately halfand-half, though it can be adjusted

to suit any taste preference. Shandies are most popular in western Europe, especially Germany. They are most commonly made with lighttasting beers like lagers or pilsners (as opposed to dark beer); wheat beer (also called white beer or witbier) is very common in Germany. Fruit beers can also be used, such as in the recipe below, for an additional fruity kick. Alley Kat Radler Alley Kat Main Squeeze Grapefruit Ale (or Aprikat) Carbonated lemonade (or a mixture of still lemonade and club soda) Fill a pint glass with the ale, allow head to settle, then top up with carbonated lemonade. Black and Tan This is another very simple beer cocktail. As the name describes, it is made with two different types of beer: a light beer (usually pale ale) and a dark beer (usually stout). The traditional beers used to make a Black and Tan are Guinness stout and Harp lager, but any similar beers may be substituted for those. It can be served blended or layered, in which the darker beer floats on top of the lighter beer—this is possible because they

have different relative densities, and is accomplished by carefully pouring the stout over an upside-down spoon to prevent splashing and mixing. The name Black and Tan probably came from England, where it originally referred to the colours of a dog's coat; it was first recorded as a name for a drink in 1881 by the American humour magazine Puck. Just don't call it that in Ireland: the Black and Tans were the British paramilitary troops who formed to suppress the Irish after the failed Easter Rising in 1916, so named for the colours of their uniform. They still make this drink in Ireland, but it's called a Half and Half. Full Moon Winter Alley Kat Full Moon Pale Ale Ribstone Creek Old Man Winter Porter Fill a pint glass halfway with the pale ale. Allow the head to settle. Hold a large spoon upside down over the glass and slowly pour the porter over top until the glass is full. Beergarita Bars and restaurants charge double digits for their beer margaritas, but you can make them at home for way less—plus you can cut back on all that cavity-causing sugary syrup. (Or not, if that's your thing—you do you.) Admittedly, this drink will probably offend both beer and cocktail purists, since it takes both of those things and completely undermines their original essence. But you know what? These taste really, really good on a patio.

// Tarquin Melnyk

Combine in shaker. Add four square ice cubes. Shake and dump into a large rocks glass. Top with the pilsner. Garnish with lime wheels and a sea salt rim. Beer Punch Punch has a very broad definition and has come to mean a fruity drink that can have any number of different ingredients, alcoholic or otherwise. Beer might not be the first ingredient you'd think of in a punch, but it works great. You can keep it as simple as you like, simply mixing the beer of your choice with various fruit juices, frozen or fresh fruit slices and berries, sugar, grenadine, simple syrup or soda for some sweetness, and of course ice—lots of ice. Add vodka, gin or other spirits if you want it to have some additional kick. Sour Punch (recipe by Tarquin Melnyk of justcocktails.org) 0.75 oz gin 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice 0.5 oz chamomile simple syrup (2:1 sugar to water, steeped with chamomile to taste) Wild Rose Cowbell Kettle Sour Stir with ice and strain into beer sleeve. Top with sour beer. Garnish with slice of citrus. Michelada or Baesar Hailing from Mexico, the Michelada is a citrusy, savoury beverage that combines beer (lager or another pale

style) with lime juice and a blend of other ingredients that are often spicy and savoury, like hot sauce, sliced chile peppers and tomato juice. It's usually served in a salt-rimmed glass. If that sounds very similar to a Caesar, you're not wrong: Micheladas are often made with the same ingredients found in the vodka-based Caesars that are so common here in Alberta, like Clamato juice and Worcestershire sauce. So much so, in fact, that Baesars—beerbased Caesars—are commonly found on drink menus around town. Just like the original Caesar, there's pretty much no limit to the number or type of spices and flavours you can include, so feel free to experiment. Classic Baesar Lime, cut into wedges Celery salt 1 – 2 dashes Tabasco sauce 2 – 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce Fresh black pepper Chili powder Fat Unicorn Last Call Blonde Lager Clamato juice Wet the rim of a glass with lime and then dip in the celery salt. Fill the glass with ice and then add the Tabasco, Worcestershire, a few grinds of black pepper and a sprinkle of chili powder. Fill the glass about halfway with lager, then top with the Clamato juice. Stir well and garnish with a lime wedge.

Exploring BC wine

There's no shortage of opportunities for winery visits out west

ritish Columbia is home to a handful of wine regions that are all radically different from one another. Even the Okanagan Valley, BC's largest region, responsible for making well over 80 percent of the province's total wine production, has its own set of very different microclimates. It's impossible to summarize BC wine as a whole, suffice to say that it's a land of incredible diversity and experimentation. Every year, hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the province to sample its increasingly famous—and delicious—wines. The following is a brief overview of the province's recognized wine regions, which are officially known as Geographical Indications (GI). Okanagan Valley Number of wineries: 132 Oldest winery: Calona Vineyards, 1931 Acres planted: 8619 Top grapes: Merlot, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay Spanning 250 kilometres along a narrow, winding glacial lake, the Okanagan Valley wine region stretches from the rolling fields of Armstrong and Vernon in the north, southward through the tourist mecca of Kelowna in the centre, and farther south right up to the US border and the parched deserts around Oliver and Osoyoos. Vineyards stretch east and west up both sides of the valley, where the short, hot summer is offset by a long, cold winter: daily summer highs regularly spike above 40C while winter lows can dip below -20C, reaching the very limit of what Vitis vinifera grapevines can survive. As you'd expect from such a widely ranging landscape, the variation in climate, soil and growing conditions is huge from one end of the Okanagan to the other. The northern half of the Okanagan is coolest, so grapes that thrive in cooler climates fare best here: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Gamay. Down in the warmer south, Bordeaux and Rhone varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah/Shiraz thrive in the heat. There's a movement underway to divide the Okanagan Valley into smaller sub-GIs in order to better reflect the individual terroir in each area. The Golden Mile Bench is the first of these new sub-GIs, established just last year; others under consideration right now are Osoyoos and the Black Sage Bench, Okanagan Falls, Naramata/ Penticton and Kelowna/Lake Country. When visiting the Okanagan, be prepared for a lot of traffic and line-ups: because it has the highest concentration of wineries and was already a tourist hub before it became known as a wine destination. Similkameen Valley Number of wineries: 14 Oldest winery: Keremeos Vineyards (now called St Laszlo), 1984 Acres planted: 691 Top grapes: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay Windswept and far less-travelled than the neighbouring Okanagan, BC's Similkameen Valley is a hotbed of organic agriculture. Some 40 percent of the area's farms are organic—vineyards included. Much of that is thanks to the incessant wind, which can be annoying to some but also causes a drying effect that acts as a natural pesticide and fungicide. Similkameen wines are notable for their beautiful floral aromatics, herbal undertones and pure minerality. The area is also a welcome respite for tourists weary of the big crowds throughout the Okan-

agan, and it is only a short drive away over a lovely mountain range. Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands Number of wineries: 45 Oldest winery: Zanatta Winery, 1992 Acres planted: 526 acres Top grapes: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Ortega, Marechal Foch Tucked just on the western side of the island's high mountain ranges, the wineries nested in forest clearings throughout Vancouver Island's fertile Cowichan Valley specialize in grapes that enjoy the cool climate and long frost-free growing season. Vineyards are centred around the town of Duncan, though they stretch as far north as the town of Nanaimo and as far south as Victoria, into the Saanich Peninsula. While a number of cool-climate varieties grow here (notably Pinot Noir and Gris), hybrid varieties—the underdog of the wine world and often overlooked as making an inferior wine—have a place of honour and respect on the island. Hardy and enduring, they were among the first grapes to grow and thrive here, and are still produced in fairly large quantities, though they are being steadily replaced with vinifera vines. A number of producers also import some grapes and juice from other regions, notably the Okanagan, in order to produce the bold red wines that customers often ask for, but which cannot ripen in the island's cool climate. The Gulf Islands (also nicknamed the "wine islands") are scattered throughout the stretch of ocean between the BC mainland and Vancouver Island. Five of them are home to wineries: Salt Spring, Pender, Saturna, Quadra and Hornby. With a similar climate to Vancouver Island, you'll find corresponding types of wine being made throughout these little islands—which are perfect for a quiet, relaxing vacation away from the mainland crowds. Fraser Valley Number of wineries: 23 Oldest winery: Domaine de Chaberton, 1991 Acres planted: 63 Top grapes: Blattner Reds/hybrids, Blattner Whites/hybrids, Pinot Noir, Bacchus

Pick Up @ Sherbrooke: -Vodka -Gin -Rum -Tequila -Whisk(e)y

It's easy to miss the signs for the couple dozen wineries scattered along the Fraser Valley as you cruise down the highway to Vancouver. Located just 100 kilometres outside of Vancouver's downtown core, the Fraser Valley is the province's agricultural hub: over half of BC's farming activity is located here. Because of the area's coastal influence, the climate is much milder than in the inland regions, with higher rainfall. While this means there's little threat of winter damage to the vines, it can be a struggle to fully ripen grapes here. Specific site selection is very important, and the area is known as an experimental zone for various newly developed hybrids. Emerging BC Wine Regions Enterprising winemakers continue to stretch the boundaries of where wine is made throughout BC (and, indeed, throughout the rest of Canada as well). These emerging regions represent the newest frontier of wine, and they are located in some unlikely places: nestled throughout the sparkling lakes in the Shuswap, tucked into the arid hills around Kamloops, hidden in the forests and mountains near Creston. If you're up for an adventure, seek out the producers eking out their living in these places— which just might be the next big thing in BC wine.

hey may not be Trevi Fountains or Bellagio jets, but Edmonton's fountains are brief and fleeting joys in our winter city. While the swiftly flowing North Saskatchewan River is the jewel in Edmonton's crown, its waters flow

Adventure

just as beautifully through dozens of fountains around the city—from the water features in Paul Kane Park and Beaver Hills House Park to the peaceful fountains tucked away around the University of Alberta campus.

Fountains make recreational spaces for us to splash around in, mark significant events in our civic history, and create more peaceful public spaces for us to visit as they reorganize the waters of the North Saskatchewan River into countless tributaries and distributaries across the city. If you like feeling the spray of cool water on your face, soaking your sweaty feet and making a wish as you flick a coin over your shoulder, here are some of Edmonton's best fountains to check out this summer. Legislature Fountains Alberta Legislature Building Grounds Built: 1959, 1967, 1983

and

Constructed in the early '80s during the legislature grounds' redevelopment, the fountains and cascading water gardens in front of the Alberta Legislature are some of the most popular in the city for wading. Less well-known are the two fountains to the south of the building—one of which was installed for Canada's centennial year in 1967— and the fountain inside the building's rotunda. This fountain was installed in 1959 for Queen Elizabeth's first royal visit to Alberta after her coronation. It produces an acoustic phenomenon known as the "magic spot" where you can stand three floors above the fountain and hear its waters raining down on your head. Alexander Circle Fountain 103 Avenue and 133 Street Built: 1952 Named after the Harold Alexander, First Earl Alexander of Tunis (Canada's 17th Governor General) Alexander Circle Park is the epitome of the Glenora neighbourhood: vaguely posh, nostalgically British, impossibly quaint and charming. The fountain in the centre of the circular park was installed in 1952, and it's a peaceful 60

little oasis away from downtown. That's not to say that the Alexander Circle Fountain is too classy to have a little fun—in 2012, someone poured laundry detergent into the fountain, creating a frothy spectacle in the heart of the picturesque park. City Hall Fountain 1 Sir Winston Churchill Square Built: 1992 Edmonton is currently on its third city hall. The postmodern building opened in 1992, replacing the square, modernist city hall from 1957. It also replaced an infamous fountain, which included a 40-foot jet of water and a 20-foot bronze sculpture of nine geese. Officially titled "The Migrants," the fountain's sculpture was more popularly known as "The Spaghetti Tree." The old sculpture is tucked into a nook on the west side of the new city hall, while in front of the building a series of curvilinear water arches contrast with the iconic glass pyramid. Ortona Memorial Fountain Giovanni Caboto Park, 95 Street and 109 Avenue Built: 2006 The Ortona Memorial Fountain was installed during Giovanni Caboto Park's revitalization 10 years ago. The fountain commemorates the courage of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment during the Battle of Ortona over Christmas 1943, which saw over 60 Edmonton soldiers killed while liberating the small Italian town from Nazi forces. The fountain in Giovanni Caboto Park was chosen because it resembles the fountain that stood in Ortona's town square, though it's actually a replica of a fountain from Marietta, Georgia. Directly across from the Italian Centre, the Ortona Memorial Fountain is an excellent place to relax with some Pinocchio gelato or a spicy panini.

Carlson Aquascape Citadel Theatre's Lee Pavilion, 4 Churchill Square Built: 1984 The Carlson Aquascape is named after Carlson Construction, the company that built the Citadel Theatre's Lee Pavilion in 1984. Although it's almost best to visit the humid tropical atmosphere of the Lee Pavilion in the winter months, when snow is swirling outside its large windows, the Carlson Aquascape is also a great place to visit when the sun is too searingly hot outside. The waterfall holds six thousand gallons of water, and though it's dazzling to crane your neck up from the bottom of the fountain, it's best viewed from the Lee Pavilion's thirdfloor walkways. Great Divide Waterfall High Level Bridge Built: 1980 The Great Divide Waterfall was designed by Peter Lewis for Alberta's 75th-anniversary celebrations in 1980. For almost 30 years, the waterfall—which was seven metres taller than Niagara Falls—pumped 50 000 litres of water per minute into the North Saskatchewan River. After Environment Canada suggested that pumping chlorinated tapwater directly into the river might not be the best idea, the waterfall was turned off in 2009 and officially decommissioned in 2014. Although it no longer functions, you can still see the skeleton of it—the grandest of all of Edmonton's fountains—just like you can see the old Spaghetti Tree fountain at City Hall. If you walk along the bridge's east side, you can see dozens of pipes running overhead where the water used to burst out and rain down into the river.

Hide and/or seek Relive your tag days with Manhunt

Somewhere in here, adults are playing tag // vladthefool

ast week was really great— I ran until I felt like I could die," Adam Waldron-Blain enthuses. "That's all I could ask for." All he could also for and something he continues to request of

himself: running either to escape or to pursue other like-minded folks is something Waldron-Blain's been doing more-or-less once a week, a couple months of the year, on and off for a decade. Waldron-Blain's

one of the organizers of Manhunt, a tag variant for adults. Or, according to its website: "Regressive hide and seek that's basically fantastic." The rules are as simple, memorable from your playground years:

www.haskincanoe.ca 780.922.4324

show up at the designated area (information is posted on the Manhunt website) wearing a highly visible armband to distinguish yourself from any bystanders. The hunter is determined, and then serves as "it"; Everyone else becomes fugitives and has a brief headstart to run and/or hide. Once that elapses, the hunter starts trying to find and tag fugitives; if tagged, they join the hunter's quest to find more people. If you manage to evade getting tagged within the time limit (and without leaving the designated zone), you win. "Originally, who knows—it's a children's game," he laughs, of Manhunt's beginnings. "Some people in Toronto started organizing games on a weekly basis, and I was familiar with them via some Internet message-board stuff. Then I had the opportunity to play a game that was run in Halifax, by one of the Toronto crew, who was in Halifax the same time I was there, way back in 2005. Which was super fun." Armed with that experience, Waldron-Blain helped start up an Edmonton chapter in 2005; after moving away for a few years, it settled into other hands, but he got involved again upon his return. There's a core Edmonton group, he notes, that ensures most games normally have around 10 to 20 players. Over the rest of the season, it can vary based on weather and interest. "Some years, the biggest games are 25 to 35 people, and some years the games have been 80 people or more," he says. But regardless of the turnout on any given week, both big and small games have their differing appeals.

Manhunt manhunt-edmonton.com

"In a small game—and this often happens if it rains or something, and only the hardcores will show up—it's quite exciting because everyone there is a regular player, and everyone knows what they're doing and has a commitment to doing their best, whatever way that is," Waldron-Blain says. "Some of them are going to be hiding, some of them are going to be really running all out, some of them are going to be climbing on things, some of them aren't that athletic, but they have this commitment. "But when you have a huge game with a whole lot of new people, or semi-regular people or whatever, it becomes chaotic in a totally different way," he continues. "There's players everywhere, And right off the bat, the first person who is the manhunter, they start tagging people who are chatting. Because you end up hanging out with your friends when there are so many people around. And then you get taken unawares, or maybe someone's chasing you and you run out, and there's suddenly six or seven people standing around the corner you've run around. So [there's] these moments of panic, or other changes in the game. Manhunts in other cities emerged in the mid-'00s, though some don't seem to have maintained themselves (the Edmonton Manhunt website includes links to other cities' groups, many of which appear to be dead sites). Still: Waldron-Blain finds that, after a decade, there's still much to appreciate in playing a game like this in Edmonton. "Certainly what I've gotten out of it has changed over the years," he says. "I'm really interested in this casual sense of athleticism, [it's] always something that appealed to me. ... It's striving, I guess. I like that. But I really like doing it in the context of the city, because it challenges you to look at the city very differently. And then to be in the city, to physically be there in this state— where you have to lie down on the grass, maybe. Or you're hiding under a stairwell. Or you're chasing people down Whyte Ave, trying to duck under the construction awning, with all these passerbys around. "Being in these situations, it's very exciting in this visceral sense," he adds. "Because of the athleticism, and the adrenaline of the sense of danger. But also, because it's a challenge to the space that you're in, in a way."

summer simplicity Models // Rebecca Miller // Michael NG

ow that warmer days are here, it's time to shed the layers and embrace comfortable simplicity. Summer style is meant to be laid-back, effortless and low-maintenance—embrace this idea with flowy fabrics and loose silhouettes. This pairs well with a neutral colour palette—we've included "serenity," Pantone's colour of the year—but you can always add pops of colour with accessories, such as enamel pins on denim, or experimenting with summer's blue-makeup trend.
