The top three
We’ve had the opportunity to visit some pretty gorgeous places since we began in 2011. And while other sections of QC have come and gone, the tried-and-true Spaces feature remains a reader favourite. That’s great news for us, because we love discovering Regina’s most creative and beautiful hidden gems. Please pass along your recommendations for a future Spaces feature: QC@leaderpost.com. And now, for your viewing pleasure, here are our three favourite Spaces from our last three years.

ISSUE: APRIL 2, 2014 WHO? Chelsi and Paul Gobeil WHAT? The 1960s style of their 1983 home in east Regina. WHY? Chelsi was swept up by the mid-century modern aesthetic from an early age, influenced by her grandmother, who had “all these amazing
true to the period of the house,” said Rutten. They brightened and opened up the space by widening and removing doorways, and whitening the walls. They decorated the space with interesting pieces collected over time: an antique shoe rack from a Catholic girls’ school now functions as a wine rack; a repurposed antique general-store counter serves as a kitchen island; an original map of 18th-century Paris covers an entire wall in their music room.

vintage pieces that had stood the test of time and had sentimental value.” There is a fine line to be drawn in vintage-style decorating, to successfully render a classic look but not overdo it. “That’s my fear is it looking cluttered or like an old lady’s trinket collection everywhere or kitschy.” She strikes a balance through a unique colour palette and grouping things as collections.
ISSUE: NOV. 17, 2011 WHO? Wayne Tunison of the Regina Bell Ringers WHAT? The Dead Air Space Art Gallery, in the bell tower of the Knox-Metropolitan Church. WHY? Tunison dreamt up the idea about nine years ago, to “up the visual component” for people touring the bell tower.
This gallery is not for the acrophobic. From the second floor of the church, you take a long, steep staircase up to a loft area. From there, take a ladder. Through a hatch at the top, you enter the small space, which is cool in fall. Due to a lack of insulation, the gallery closes in winter. Ropes and a ladder to the bells above block some sightlines, and the music of the organ wafts up from two long stories below.

Canada’s rugby star never gave up on her dream
Kayla Mack, at the Rugby Club in Regina, recently helped Canada’s team earn a place in the history books at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in France. QC PHOTO BY BRYAN SCHLOSSER
By Sean Trembath It was four years ago that Kayla Mack set herself on a path to Canadian rugby history. The 25-year-old Saskatoon athlete had already been playing rugby at a high level, representing Saskatchewan and Canada as a youth. She loved the game, and the friends she
made playing it, but she hadn’t yet dedicated herself the way a full-time, professional athlete needs to. Then came the 2010 Women’s Rugby World Cup. Mack was watching from her home in Canada. She followed closely on television and the Internet. She saw the love and support the athletes were getting. Most importantly, she
knew she could be one of them. “When I saw what these women were doing, that’s when I said, ‘This is what I want to do. I want to do what these women do. I want to work that hard and achieve that.’ ” Four long years of constant training began. She moved around the country while still working for a living and maintaining a long-distance
relationship. It paid off. This August, Mack was part of Canada’s historic second-place finish at the 2014 World Cup. It was the best the team had ever done. Mack’s performance earned her an invitation to rejoin Canada’s rugby sevens team, which is about to enter Olympic qualifying. It’s another shot at history.
A sevens spot also means national carding, which means she will be paid to play the sport she loves, and won’t have to worry about finding a job that allows her to take off and train or travel the world. Rugby has given Mack a lot, and there is more to come. What’s surprising is that she didn’t love the sport at first.

As a teenager growing up in Saskatoon, Mack was an all-around athlete. She played on multiple teams at Mount Royal Collegiate. When a friend invited her to try out rugby during their Grade 10 year, she figured it was worth a shot. She still remembers the first game she ever played. They had practised a few times, mostly learning how to fall correctly and basic ballhandling skills. With the game about to start, Mack still didn’t really know what she was supposed to do. “They try to explain the rules to you, but I remember being in the huddle before my first game. We’re all standing together, and the coach goes, ‘Everything I told you. Forget it. If
you have the ball, run straight, and if someone in front of you has the ball, tackle them.’ ” When that first season ended, Mack was still unsure about rugby. “I wasn’t crazy about it,” she remembers. The game was confusing, and Saskatoon didn’t have a great organizational structure. But she liked it enough to try again the next year. That’s when everything changed. Rugby isn’t officially a part of Saskatoon’s high school sports system, so in Grade 11 Mack was able to play for Evan Hardy. The team was more competitive, and even travelled to bigger tournaments.

Her athletic ability, her work habits at that age, and her coachability, is something I haven’t seen in a lot of kids. – Tara Eckert

Tara Eckert, who had played rugby at a national level, was one of Mack’s early coaches. “Her athletic ability, her work habits at that age, and her coach-ability, is something I haven’t seen in a lot of kids,” Eckert says. Mack’s time on the Evan Hardy team led to her playing for Team Sask the summer after her Grade 11 year. “That was my first taste of higher level rugby, and I really enjoyed it,” she says. She played with Team Sask again after her Grade 12 year, and was invited to try out for Canada’s youth team. It led to her first ever international competition, the 2009 Nations Cup in England. Canada finished third of four teams, but Mack was not discouraged. “It was the first time I had played really high-level sport, and it captivated me,” she says. Then came the 2010 World Cup. Mack was not yet on the senior women’s squad,
so she had to watch from home. She decided it was not going to happen again. “I definitely started training harder. Before university I never lifted weights or anything, I just did sports. (In 2010) I really started to amp up my training,” she says. After the 2010 tournament, Canada’s coaching team changed. Mack was invited to try out, and made it. She played in another Nations Cup, but this time it was the real, top-level tournament. It was in Oakville, Ont. Her first international cap, or appearance, came against South Africa. She was part of the starting squad. “It was so fast. The game was so quick, but I was so exhausted after it. I remember coming off and thinking it was unbelievable,” Mack says. She would go on to score her first international try — rugby’s equivalent of a touchdown — against perennial favourite England. She still remembers every detail.

It’s bittersweet. I think the reason it’s so bittersweet is we could have done it. They beat us on the day, but we had the talent, and the team, that we could have done it. — Mack

She had come off the bench as a substitute. Teammate Mandy Marchak had broken through the opposing defensive line and Mack came behind her as support. Marchak offloaded her the ball and Mack found herself with just two defenders between her and the goal-line. “I saw them turn their hips and I just turned the other way. I ran as hard as I could. One of them tackled me just as I was crossing the line. I touched it down and was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I just did that.’ ” Mack says. She remembers her teammates running to embrace her, and an indescribable rush of feelings. There is still emotion in her voice as she tells the story. Up to that point, Mack’s high-level rugby career had only been in 15s,
which is named after the number of players each team has on the field at a time. Her Nations Cup performance got her invited to Victoria, where Canada’s sevens team is based. Sevens rugby is different but the rule set was not the most important thing for Mack. The real gamechanger was that sevens is an Olympic sport, and consequently Canada’s teams are carded. Being “carded” means receiving government funding to pursue athletics. For athletes in sports without large professional leagues, carding means going pro. It’s massive. Unfortunately for Mack, it didn’t last. She lost her card in 2012. It was the biggest setback of her career. “It wasn’t easy. No one likes to lose
their chance,” she says. Looking back two years later, she is able to see positives in what was very tough at the time. “I learned from that experience to really play rugby for myself, and enjoy it a lot. So for the next two years, everything I did was for me, and my own enjoyment. I wasn’t contracted to keep doing anything. I was training and playing for the love of the game.” She continued playing and training with the national 15s team, even though it meant moving around the country. She was lucky enough to find a job with a rental car company that had operations all around the country and was willing to transfer her. She moved to Alberta for a sum-
mer because the club rugby scene is much stronger there. The 2014 World Cup still loomed in her mind. In February of this year, with just a few months before team selection, she decided to go all-in. “I was convinced by people in my life who thought I was working too hard. They said, ‘If you let this opportunity pass you by, and you don’t make the World Cup because you’re working when you should be training. Just take six months and do it,’ ” she says. In June, after training camps and some warm-up tournaments, the team was selected. Mack remembers seeing the email sitting on her computer, wanting to open it but remembering the feeling she had two
years ago, when a similar message informed her she had lost her card. “I opened it, and it said ‘congratulations.’ I don’t think I stopped smiling for days,” she says. The World Cup was just two months later. Canada was known as a threat, but far from a favourite. During the group stage they managed to tie England, ensuring a spot in the playoffs and providing a huge confidence boost. They beat home team France in the semifinal, leading to a rematch with England. The final did not go their way. Speaking less than a week after the game, Mack still teeters between pride at the accomplishment and disappointment at the loss. Continued on Page 8

I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn’t kept playing rugby. I wouldn’t have had a chance to see the world, meet the people I’ve met, and become the person I’ve become. — Mack
“It’s bittersweet. I think the reason it’s so bittersweet is we could have done it. They beat us on the day, but we had the talent, and the team, that we could have done it,” she says. The sting was dampened by some very good news. Mack is back on Canada’s sevens team, which means once again she is carded. She is the first female rugby player to get a card after previously losing one. Before she found out, Mack had planned on going to nursing school. That is likely still in her future, but for now she gets to go back to being a full time athlete. “It feels really good. It makes you feel like your hard work paid off,” she says. Her sights are now on the 2016 Olympics. The next year is all about qualifying, after which the goal will be to bring a gold medal home from Brazil. Mack’s success, along with that of other athletes like Saskatoon’s Nanyak Dala, who plays for the men’s sevens team, provide an example for other players in the province. “It’s a good example for younger kids,” says Jessie Buydens, who coached Mack in high school and later played alongside her on Team Sask. “I still coach high school, and when I say to my kids, ‘This is Kayla Mack, this is where she’s at now, here are some other girls that got longlisted. And if you can make it to that level, you can travel the world playing rugby.’ She’s a great example for the young girls,” Buydens says. Mack hasn’t had much time to work with younger players yet due to her own career, but the idea of inspiring a new generation to take up the sport gives her great satisfaction. “I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn’t kept playing rugby. I wouldn’t have had a chance to see the world, meet the people I’ve met, and become the person I’ve become. I hope more people can discover this amazing sport,” Mack says. strembath@thestarphoenix.com

ON THE COVER: A RETROSPECTIVE
We look back at the top three covers The focal point of QC is the cover feature. Each week we talk to Reginans who, with their actions and forward thinking, are shaping the city and making it a better place. Some are fighting personal battles with illness, while others are excelling in their chosen field. By shining the spotlight on these people, we hope to bring joy, inspiration and awareness to your day. Read on for some of our favourite cover features since we started QC in 2011. ISSUE : F EB. 2 , 20 12
By Ashley Martin If nothing else, 19-year-old Tara Cornish thought, at least I’ll have a story to tell my grandkids: “I dated a rock ‘n’ roll musician.” She’d just met Jack Semple in the University of Regina jazz band. And they’ve happily improvised their lives together ever since. Jack even passed the parent test. “Once they got to know Jack, they realized he wasn’t the type of musician they assumed all rock n’ roll musicians were,” Tara said. “He wasn’t a wild partier and he was a family-based guy. He was a square so they liked him after all,” she added, inciting one of a dozen laugh riots during our interview. If music heals and laughter is the best medicine, the Semples, married 26 years, should never need health insurance. Jack and Tara Semple have made their living from music — no easy feat. But perhaps even more challenging is co-operating when their styles are so divergent. They’re from totally different musical worlds. Tara is classically trained, a flutist in the Regina Symphony Orchestra. Her favourite music is 16th-and 17th-century baroque. Jack, on the other hand, is a self-taught guitarist. As one of Regina’s best-known fingerpickers, he can read notes but prefers to improvise his music of choice, rhythm and blues. “We are at odds musically a lot,” said Jack. “If I ask her opinion on something that I’m doing, she’ll hear something that I had no idea was there. Our ears are tuned to different frequencies. “She claps on 1 and 3; I clap on 2 and 4.” They do converge sometimes, with the family band The Gene Pool, which features their three children — Kaitlyn, 25, Keiran, 21, and Zenaya, 12. The couple plays shows together around Christmastime at seniors’ centres and

the like, and once collaborated on an album, 1995’s Grey & Yellow. Jack dabbles in the classical genre with his trio the True Jive Pluckers, featuring RSO musicians Ed Minevich and Stephen McLellan, while Tara plays Jethro Tull in the family band. The Semples’ influence on Saskatchewan is
wide and deep, said Kelley Jo Burke, host and producer of CBC Radio’s SoundXchange. “You can’t be in Saskatchewan music and not know about Jack and Tara. Jack’s one of the best guitarists in the country. And then Tara is a very fine flutist,” Burke pointed out. “But it’s much bigger than that. The two of
them, together and apart, they chose to stay here. They chose to have their family here. They chose to be a role model for other artists that you could have a career and you could be significant in the arts community and still stay here; you didn’t have to go away.” Continued on Page 12

ISSUE : AUG . 7, 20 13
By Ashley Martin It sounds like kids’ stuff; pretending the toy car catapulting off a makeshift cliff is real. But for Lowell Dean, it was a training ground. While other six-year-olds in Saskatoon were out playing, he was capturing the action on his best friend’s camera. “I guess we’re lucky enough to be part of the generation that had camcorders,” said the Regina-based film director. “We would literally, probably every weekend, film a movie.” After moving to Regina in Grade 10, Dean attended high school at LeBoldus and decided he was serious about filmmaking. At the University of Regina, from which he graduated in 2002 with a film studies degree, he said he wasn’t always the best student: He wanted to do feature-length films, not two-minute clips. Today, Dean is still pushing the
envelope. He spends his time writing, directing and editing. He’s a prolific creator for Access 7. His feature-length directorial debut, the zombie thriller 13 Eerie, met with positive reviews. His latest project, WolfCop, is garnering international attention after outlasting 89 other films to win the inaugural CineCoup national film competition. “I felt like we had branded a character that was so easily recognizable and we had international appeal,” said Dean. “I think Lowell’s got a real great persistence of vision,” added CineCoup founder J. Joly. Dean dreamt up WolfCop two years ago, almost by accident. He couldn’t decide between making a cop film or a werewolf film, and joked to a friend that he should combine the two. The joke blossomed. If you Google WolfCop, results come up in many different languages — including German, Portuguese and Japanese — and the film isn’t even in production yet. “It’s such a backwards way of doW e d n es day, J u n e 4 , 2 0 1 4

ing things,” said Dean. “Usually you make the movie and try to get a reaction; here we just literally put the idea out there and on the strength of that idea we are now actually getting to make it, which is so rare.” The guaranteed release at Cineplex theatres across Canada in spring 2014 clinched Dean’s decision to enter the contest. “No Canadian filmmaker, period, gets that. (Maybe) if you’re very lucky.” In reality, $1 million is not a lot of money to make a feature-length film. Without a tax credit to stretch the budget further, it’s still unclear whether WolfCop will be shot in Saskatchewan. The film industry’s treatment by the Sask Party government has made Dean doubt whether the province where he was born and raised is actually home. “I would be lying if I said I had every intention of staying here,” he said. In fall 2013, WolfCop was shot in

me because I feel comfortable and I feel safe. I’m surrounded by people who care about me. And that makes a big difference ... It’s not a scary place. I’m used to it.” Throughout her battles with cancer, Dionne allows herself 24 hours to ask the same question many of us would ask — “why me?” But after that, the message shifts to “why not me?” and “what am I going to do to beat this?” When healthy, Dionne volunteers at the centre. Her message to others fighting cancer is that no matter how tough things get, you must keep hope alive. “It’s always to fight back and never give up or give in,” she explains. “It’s attitude. And you don’t hang around with negative people — they will bring you down.” Earlier in the day, Dionne rifled through hundreds of donated pink shirts for her and Graham to wear to chemotherapy. The Warners are known for wearing outrageous costumes and dancing their way into treatment. “We do some wild and crazy things to make people giggle and laugh, even in the toughest of times. That’s what
it’s all about,” she says. Her first diagnosis for liver cancer was in 2001. Surgery removed the tumour and 51 per cent of her liver. As well, her gall bladder was removed. Graham remembers how difficult it was watching Dionne being led into surgery. He wasn’t sure if he was going to see her again. “Watching her walk off for that first surgery, when she looked back, it just ripped my heart out,” says Graham in a soft, shaken voice. “She looked so small and frail. That’s a moment I’ll never forget. It was absolute fear and loneliness.” Engaged to be married, she told Graham he didn’t have to go through with it. But Graham, an avid pilot, took her hand and said, “You never leave your wingman.” That phrase would later become the title of a book by Deana Driver — Never Leave Your Wingman — documenting their lives together and Dionne’s battles with cancer. Warner will be signing copies of the book at the Pasqua Hospital Gift Shop on Sept. 11, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There you can congratulate her, as her liver tumours continue to shrink.

By Terrence McEachern Sitting in the waiting room at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre, Dionne Warner is asked a question she has heard many times before. Are you ready for your treatment? Dionne, 48, is battling cancer for the eighth time. Since 1995, she has defeated cancer in her breast, brain, lungs, spine, ribs, pelvis and liver. On Aug. 7, 2012, she was diagnosed with liver cancer for the fourth time. Her chemotherapy appointment on May 7 is the 116th since 2010. At 2:30 p.m., wearing matching pink shirts, Dionne and her husband Graham are led to the outpatient treatment room. Graham notes that it usually takes Dionne twice as long to reach her destination in the centre because so many people stop her for a hug, a conversation and an update on her condition. Dionne’s first chemotherapy session was in 1995. Then 30 and recently married to her first husband, Dionne

WINE WORLD #

Appaxximento white close to perfect By James Romanow The last two weeks I’ve been covering one of the world’s favourite wines, appassimento. To recap — appassimento wines are wines made from partially dried grapes. The most famous such wine is Amarone. This is an insanely intense, rich wine that goes with anything, anytime. An Italian friend of mine once told me, “I would drink Amarone with my breakfast eggs.” Lately, the Italians have taken to applying the technique to lesser wines, with different grapes, and producing perhaps not as fine a wine, but an amazing drink nevertheless. Forget looking for Zinfandel. Look for the word “Appassimento” or “Passimento” on the label. Until very recently, nobody thought to apply this technique to white wines. It was historically reserved for red grapes. Lately, the everinventive Italians have started applying the system to everything. The trailblazer for this process is Masi, one of Veneto’s leading vintners. In an effort to trademark their processes, which are typically technically more advanced than other vintners, they have taken to calling their wines “Appaxximento.” So there is one more word you need to watch out for now. Once you get past the nomenclature, you will find a white wine that is close to perfectly struc-

tured. The Verduzzo adds heft and body, and the Pinot Grigio adds a brisk, aromatic fruitiness. I am hard pressed to think of another white at this price point that is so well-made. I love the stuff. I tend to drink it well above fridge temperature, almost room temp. The moral of the story is forget about blends, grapes, makers, brands, etc. When you see “Appassimento” on a label, buy the wine. (And don’t forget to read the back label)! Masi Masianco (Appaxximento), Italy, 2012. $16.99 ***** (Deal alert!) No more about appassimento for a while.

Lo ca l AUT H O RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading
SELINA ELLIOT
Obsession is a tale of tragedy and revenge “Whatever you are, be a good one.” Abraham Lincoln The first time I heard those words the world stopped for just a moment. I always enjoyed writing. There was always hope that I’d be published. But with those words echoing in my head I knew that hope wasn’t enough. I needed to give everything I have to my writing. With Obsession, that’s exactly what I did. I don’t know that I’ve enjoyed writing a story more. I’ve laughed, cried, and became animated as I wrote. And that’s my hope for you, the reader; that you’ll connect with the characters as much as I have. Along with the joy, there were plen-
ty of struggles writing this novel. A lot of research went into the era. Slavery and torture is the backdrop to the novel. Researching both left me nightmares that I can’t forget. Trey, our wounded hero with a tragic past, began his life as a slave in the colonies. With the loss of his parents still a fresh wound on his soul Trey must find a way to save his sister from Baron Henley, escape the land owner who would sell them, and avoid the law as well as the hooded men in white. And he must do it before the day is out. The tragedy of that day would define his life. Years later Trey would seek his revenge upon the Baron that had murdered his family. But even well laid plans could go awry.
Selina Elliot
Tessa knew that better than anyone. It was her decision to run away from a marriage she wanted no part of, and a father that wanted no part of her. But there are consequences she couldn’t foresee and now must live with. Yet she yearned for freedom she had no right to seek.
Tessa is one of my favourite characters. She faces challenges that many of us have. The most difficult is to believe in our own worth as a person. She was inspired by one of my closest friends; inside scoop, she’s the model for the cover! Some question where my imagination came from. I can’t say that I have the answer to that, but I know that living in Saskatchewan has nurtured it.

Comfort and style aren’t mutually exclusive By Ashley Martin Nathan Elliott and Geroy Simon agree that comfort is the most important aspect of fashion. So it stands to reason the two would collaborate on an initiative with a goal of keeping children warm in winter. COATS4 K I DS Last year. Coats4Kids raised 10,000 winter coats for kids in southern Saskatchewan. This year, Simon and Elliott are expanding the scope provincewide and hope to provide even more children with winter jackets. “It started off with a text message saying ‘let’s do a coat drive’ and it ended up being a huge success,” said Simon, who did a coat drive on a smaller scale in Vancouver while working as a player for the B.C. Lions. “It doesn’t get that cold there so you don’t really need big heavy winter coats,” said Simon. Here, he saw more of a need. The children can take their pick from the collection of new and used coats. “It’s important that the jackets have a proper fit,” said Elliott, “because if they don’t look good, (the kids are) not going to wear them.” It’s the same approach Simon takes to his fashion every day. Maybe it stems from being an athlete: “You look good, you feel good, you play good. “I think comfort is the most important thing. You can have the bestlooking suit or best-looking clothes in the world but if it’s not comfortable, you’re not going to wear it. TRYING FOR T REN DS “Putting in an effort is important, as it is with everything else in life,” Elliott says about dressing well. “It shows that you care.” As we hear so often on this Fashion page, style is progressing in Saskatchewan. Simon sees it too. “I think people are really taking ownership of their look,” he said. “I think that’s important because a lot of times what you have on, that’s people’s first impression of you ... It doesn’t have to be always on the top end, but you should definitely take notice of what you have on.” BUSIN ESS CAS UA L IS IN “I think that’s the way it’s going with fashion,” said Simon. “It’s not necessarily wearing a suit, but if you do have a suit on, most times you’re not wearing a tie. It’s not really dressing down but it’s not always prim and proper.” W HY SH OP LOCA L? While Elliott and Simon each have the opportunity to shop during their many travels, they mustn’t make a point of it. They agree, we’ve got as good a shop as anywhere right here at home. “You can go anywhere in Canada and you actually won’t find a better men’s store” than Regina’s Colin O’Brian Man’s Shoppe, said Elliott. “The people really care and tend to know your style better than you know it yourself.” “A lot of times they take the thinking out of it for (you), which is really cool,” added Simon. We’ll give you one guess as to where they got their duds for today’s look.

What do you think of Geroy Simon’s bold patterns? Email us at QC@leaderpost.com
INNOVATIVE ELLIOTT
SUBDUED SIMON “I’m usually pretty subtle in my dress,” said Simon. But “going with something that’s not the norm is good sometimes. It’s good to change it up and show that you’re not predictable.” That’s what he did with today’s outfit, mixing two bold patterns. Simon keeps his eye on what other people are wearing. “I travel a lot so I get to see a wide variety of styles, ensembles of dress, and at times I admire, sometimes I don’t like it very much.” And sometimes people don’t like very much what he’s wearing — usually when it’s an orangey shade of red. “Red is my favourite colour, so a lot of times I’m wearing red and people are like ‘why are you wearing that orange?’ I think just because people associate me and the B.C. Lions. Any time I wear anything even remotely close to orange, people are like ‘you’re representing B.C.’”
“I think it’s always about being a little dynamic in your choices and switching them up from season to season or year to year. And even when I was a little kid I remember just thinking fashion was important,” said Elliott. “It just comes down to being comfortable and not forcing what you’re wearing.” 1. JACKET: Built-in optional pocket square, lapel pin included. “I think it’s different, the fact there’s a popped collar is new’ I don’t think I’ve seen that in a blazer ever.”

2. SHIRT: “It is bold but when you break it down there is just a lot of detail to it ... more than meets the eye.”
1. BELT: “I think a lot of times the accessories are what make the outfit.”
3. SHOES: Loake. “I have a difficult time finding shoes that I like so I wear only Loake dress shoes. ... If you don’t buy a decent pair of shoes or a good pair of shoes, they tend to break down, whereas these ones, if you take care of them, they stay looking good for years on end.”
2. WATCH: Bentley by Breitling. “I wanted to get it for so long; it took me about two or three years to muster up the energy to get it. And the bankroll (laughing). It was something I wanted for a while.” 3. SHOES: “If you have a good pair of shoes on, I think that can really make or break an outfit.” 1.

The top three By Jenn Sharp
When Sharp Eats began, a space in QC devoted to Saskatchewan food trends, some thought it would be impossible to find enough information for a weekly column. On the contrary, there’s usually too much to include in the spot each week. There’s a shift happening on the Prairies, one towards a locally-sourced future with food grown by people who care and prepared by chefs who delight in creating culinary decadence. Here’s the top three examples since the column began, with a social commentary thrown in for good measure, of people who really love good food in Regina.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CSAS CSA — WHAT IS IT? Community supported (or shared) agriculture is a way to buy food produced by farmers in Saskatchewan while supporting the local economy. Consumers get the benefit of a steady supply of produce throughout the growing season but they also share the risk (when bad weather ruins a crop, there may be little or no produce). HOW DOES IT WORK? Members buy subscriptions at the beginning of the growing season for a share of the anticipated harvest. They then receive weekly or bi-weekly boxes of vegetables and fruit. Some CSAs have the option of adding on honey, eggs, meat and dairy products. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ONE? THE GREEN RANCH: www.thegreenranch.ca

TEXTING: A MODERN ETIQUETTE CRITIQUE I’m sure you’ve seen it — maybe you’ve done it. Two people are out for dinner together but they hardly speak a word. Why? They’re texting, checking Facebook or email, playing with apps or scrolling through their Twitter feed. It’s ridiculous. Have you watched someone try
to text while eating? Equally ridiculous. It’s even worse with kids. So many seem to be stimulated by electronics all the time. Put the gadget down and join in the conversation. What’s even more absurd than watching the couple on their phones during dinner, is watching a group of friends on their phones. I’m not sure when talking to people at the table became old-fashioned but from what I’ve seen, everyone has his or her cell sitting out. You know, just in case someone better calls.
A local food production and marketing company near Regina. Owners Tim and Carla Shultz partner with other producers to help them sell their food through CSA shares and an online retail store. ETOMAMI ORGANICS ECOFARM: www. saskecofarm.com Located in Hudson Bay, owner Keith Neu delivers his organic produce to Regina once a month in the winter and twice monthly in the summer. He also sells organic beef and poultry, along with honey, perogies and even pickles. ARE THERE OTHER WAYS TO BUY LOCALLY GROWN FOOD? Besides visiting the many farmers’ markets, check out Body Fuel Organics at 1307A Ottawa Street. The retail grocery store offers products from growers in Saskatchewan and small farms in B.C. Pre-order produce bins online at www.bodyfuelorganics.ca. “The nutritional value, in my experience, is much better. I’m better nourished with organic food ... It’s what grandma’s food tastes like,” said owner Lana Van Dijk.

PROVINCE HAS SOME BUNS TO DIE FOR Steamed buns, stuffed buns, sweet buns — I can never get enough buns. I was able to try Rochdale Roca House’s famous coconut buns, which are only made on
Tuesdays. I asked for several to be set aside because they usually sell out by mid-afternoon. When I got to the modern north-end cafe, the smell of baked bread with coconut undertones enveloped me. The homemade bun is heavier than it looks — come on an empty stomach. Crispy baked coconut spills out the top and the moist inner filling is almost too good to be true. Make sure you try it warm so all the flavours blend together.
