Futures in War and Quinoa I had just completed my book of poetry about my mother’s Kwakwaka’wakw First Nation when I became interested in the aboriginal roots of America. I then created the territory New Haudenosaunee in the novel Rogue Cells as a futuristic post-apocalyptic version of North America, which is also a send-up of anti-terrorist and DNA-cop shows. A review in subTerrain Magazine calls it “dystopian erotic parody” and “our lives if we lived inside the current media representation of our lives.” As we become increasingly immersed in our gleaming devices and “gadgetalia,” it is inevitable that our perception of reality should become skewed.

Making magical music
I don’t look at their disability. I look at their ability. — Chris Hamilton
By Austin M. Davis There won’t be a Good Buddies Blues Band without director Chris Hamilton. When the 2015-16 school year starts in the fall, it will be the 10th anniversary of the blues band from Dr. Martin LeBoldus Catholic High School that combines intellectually disabled students with their peers. It will also be Hamilton’s 30th year as a teacher, and he says retirement isn’t too far away. “I’m pretty good at leaving things in the past, but it’s sure not going to be the same. This band has been such a big part of every day,” Hamilton says. As the band’s popularity has grown since 2005, so did the demand to get the Good Buddies to perform at events. Hamilton found himself handling more than just a teacher’s responsibilities. “I get eight calls during the day, or three emails, that somebody wants to book us. Some days there’s three bookings in a day. I’m like a booking agent.” Though he’s not nostalgic, he knows that he’ll need to find something to fill the void of regular practices, booking, planning and performances for groups of appreciative and dedicated students. “It’s going to be a whole different world, but I’ll find something else to feed my soul and what I want to do, maybe musically, because my career’s going to be over anyway” Hamilton says. “It’s time to sort of wind down. You don’t want to leave (the students) on a high. They should know the end is coming soon.” Hamilton has good reason to think of recent years as high points. Starting with simple trips to Moose Jaw and Saskatoon, the band has travelled to perform in Manitoba and B.C., and twice to the U.S. In 2011, the band went to Disneyland and performed inside of the park. Earlier this month, Hamilton and a group of 43 students and parents went to Chicago, the city where famous blues musicians like Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy lived and left their permanent imprint on the blues. Changes prevented them from playing at the Chicago Blues Fe-stival, but the band has always been comfortable dealing with the unexpected. “That’s exactly what you do when you’re working with special needs kids. There’s going to be some adaptations you have to do. There are things that won’t go as smoothly as you thought it would, but you always get silver linings somewhere,” Hamilton says. In October, after booking transportation, accommodations and applying to perform, the dates for the Chicago Blues Festival were pushed back a week, which would have butted up against high school finals.

I get eight calls during the day, or three emails, that somebody wants to book us. Some days there’s three bookings in a day. I’m like a booking agent. — Hamilton
During the Good Buddies Blues Band’s weeklong trip to Chicago in June, the group of 24 students from LeBoldus High School had the chance to get onstage at the House of Blues and perform with a gospel group. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Even though they didn’t get to perform at the festival during the weeklong trip, Hamilton says he and his band found the silver lining. The Good Buddies Blues Band played with a gospel group at the famous House of Blues and graced the stage at Chicago’s largest and oldest blues club, Kingston Mines, which has been frequented by the likes of B. B. King. ■ ■ ■ ■ No one could have predicted how far the little blues band from Regina would go under Hamilton’s direction.
The idea for the band developed when a group of students with intellectual disabilities from DeShaye Catholic School expressed an interest in remaining involved in band at the high school level. The students were intimidated by making the jump to high school band, where the musical pieces would become more difficult and the director would be unable to give them the attention they needed. “The band director said ‘No. We can’t do this.’ And the parents said ‘No. You have to. You started them in band, you have to continue,’ ” Hamilton recalls. “So they went to the human resources department and our
HR guy checked with human rights and said ‘Yeah. You have to provide them (with a band). You can’t deny them now that you’ve started them.’ ” Hamilton, who was an arts consultant for the Regina Catholic School Division, heard from the intellectually disabled students’ parents. They wanted their kids to be in an inclusive band with their peers. He promised the parents there would be a band, though not the traditional kind. He volunteered to direct the group and was moved to LeBoldus. Leading a band fit right in with his musical background: “My soul is music,” he says.
Hamilton found a group of kids that already had relationships with the intellectually disabled students through the Best Buddies LeBoldus chapter. Best Buddies is an international non-profit organization that promotes one-to-one friendships between individuals with intellectual disabilities and students. Hamilton settled on the band playing blues because of the genre’s simplicity. Most blues, rock and country songs are based around three chords. Best Buddies Blues Band would practise and perform covers of blues standards like Hound Dog, made famous by Elvis Presley, and songs Hamilton
wrote in the key of D or G that would maximize inclusion. The band started with eight associate buddies who were interested in jamming during the lunch hour with four of their peers from the Functionally Integrated Alternative Education Program (FIAEP). FIAEP students are able to remain in the band until their 22nd birthday. The Good Buddies Blues Band — with a total of 24 members in 2013-14 — varies the structure a bit. Instead of one-to-one friendships, Hamilton says it’s more like building 12-to-12 friendships. Continued on Page 6

(The parents) are just really wowed by the interaction among the kids and watching their own kids having fun doing something they probably never thought they’d be capable of doing, and they can. — Mary-Anne Harazny

Hamilton had no previous experience working with intellectually disabled students, but he had a formula for success that resonated with everyone involved. “Keep it simple. Make it fun and have them interact. That’s all I wanted them to do. “I don’t look at their disability. I look at their ability.” The associate buddies play drums, bass, guitar, keyboards and sing along, while their FIAEP peers play the egg shakers, xylophones, small percussion instruments and sing. None of the instruments are assigned. From the group’s beginnings, there has never been judgment, pretension or nervousness. The students’ enjoyment is the same whether the band is practicing in the classroom or playing onstage at the House of Blues in Chicago. “What it has done for their con-
fidence and for the parents to see their kid included with their peers, it’s powerful. It’s magical,” Hamilton says. “I just wanted them to get together, have fun and play. Now it’s onstage, but it’s still the same thing. We still have fun and play.” ■

If the Good Buddies Blues Band were a sports team, with Hamilton as the head coach, then Mary-Anne Harazny is the general manager. An instructional assistant, Harazny was supervising the students at lunch time and volunteered to supervise during band practices. “I thought it was a really good idea because it was something that allowed the kids interaction with each other and share a lot of good times. It worked really well,” she says.

You don’t have to be a concert pianist, but you have to understand different instruments because the kids are playing lots of different instruments. And you need to have the personality to be upbeat all the time. — Bert Yakichuk

She has been involved with the band ever since. Her partnership with Hamilton has benefited both the LeBoldus kids and the audiences full of strangers. She’s heard a lot of positive feedback from the buddies’ families directly. “(The parents) are just really wowed by the interaction among the kids and watching their own kids having fun doing something they probably never thought they’d be capable of doing, and they can. They can do it. They’re willing to try.” Horazny handling the logistics allows Hamilton to focus on the music. “I have to be flexible because Chris comes up with all of the ideas,” she says. In his career as a high school principal, Bert Yakichuk worked at every Catholic school in
Regina, and Hamilton was a teacher at several of those schools. Yakichuk and Hamilton have known each other for at least 20 years. “Music is his love, his passion,” Yakichuk says. “He just has a soft spot in his heart for special needs kids, and that’s how this whole Best Buddies, Good Buddies evolved.” Yakichuk has travelled with the band to Disneyland and Chicago. He estimates he has seen about 30 or 40 Good Buddies Blues Band concerts. “No two performances are the same,” Yakichuk says. “I don’t think I’ve been at a performance where there hasn’t been a standing ovation.” He says Hamilton has all the traits the band’s
director needs. “You need the talent. You need to have the musical ability to put it all together. You don’t have to be a concert pianist, but you have to understand different instruments because the kids are playing lots of different instruments. And you need to have the personality to be upbeat all the time.” Yakichuk believes the buddies and associate buddies respond to the importance Hamilton puts on integration. Yakichuk credits Hamilton’s wife Jackie, a teaching assistant, with some of the band’s success. “There are so many times, setting up and taking down, Jackie’s left helping loading and taking things back,” Yakichuk says. “If it wasn’t
for her, Chris would never be able to do what he does.” Jackie doesn’t have any problems with lending a hand, especially when the group is so tight-knit. “I love those kids to pieces. I don’t begrudge what (Chris) does. It’s teamwork all around.” ■ ■ ■ ■ Students who have been in the Good Buddies Blues Band, buddies and associate buddies alike, remember Hamilton’s impact. Elise Lareau was an associate buddy in the band for three years until she graduated in 2013. The practices were a weekly highlight. Continued on Page 8

“(Mr. Hamilton) was really great. He just pushes inclusion, inclusion, inclusion. ‘Always be a buddy, always make sure you’re playing with a buddy, singing with a buddy, dancing with a buddy.’ It’s not about going there to be with the rest of the associate buddies, it’s about being there with the FIAEP students and making sure that they’re having a great time because it is really about them,” Lareau says. She had Hamilton as a math teacher in Grade 9, but she says he just seemed to be right in his element during practices and performances. Two of Lareau’s older brothers were in the band before her. Her brother Roger has an undiagnosed intellectual disability. “Even for myself — because Roger is quite high functioning — going into it, you have an idea of how to interact with people with different levels of ability, but you’re able to handle it so much better after and just realize that everyone’s the same, no matter what. Everyone has flaws and everyone has good things about them. It doesn’t matter who they are. Every-
one’s equal,” she says. Roger was one of the band’s first members and he remembers playing solos on the xylophone and snare drum as much as he remembers Hamilton playing along on the piano. In 2010, Roger went with the band to Vancouver to perform during the Paralympic Games. Hamilton remembers Roger vividly and his face lights up when Roger’s name is mentioned. Having introduced so many students to blues music, planned national and international trips and used his passion for music to promote inclusivity to his students, one must wonder why Hamilton says he’s willing to walk away from the Good Buddies Blues Band without passing it along. His explanation is rooted in the organic conditions from which the band originally grew. “It’s got to grow from the teacher.”

World Cup-themed fare to help cheer your team on By Jenn Sharp The FIFA World Cup started off with a bang for host country Brazil on June 12, as they beat Croatia 3-1. Lounges in Regina and Saskatoon are offering a range of specials to get butts in seats for the games. At the Woods Alehouse on Second Avenue in Saskatoon, the games will be broadcast live during business hours and others replayed in the evenings. The kitchen team has come up with a unique menu of themed dishes for each game. Look for meza platters of smoked meat, cheese and pickles when Bosnia plays, bangers ‘n mash for the England game and goulash for Croatia. A Mexican chef is creating all the dishes that need a Latin touch. All are paired with Paddockwood or other craft beers. Watch for new recipes during the semi-finals and a bigger feast for the final match. In Regina, Milton Rebello has cooked up a gourmet Brazilian steak special to run throughout the World Cup. The executive chef at the Hotel Saskatchewan, who is “obsessed with soccer,” created a tender grilled sirloin steak, thinly sliced on garlic toast with chimichurri sauce, watermelon radish, sliced baby carrots, Dijon mustard and sliced red onion. It’s paired with the hotel’s version of the caipirinha, Brazil’s national cocktail. In Brazil, the caipirinha consists of cachaça, sugar cane hard liquor, sugar and fresh lime. That’s not readily available in Saskatchewan though so bartenders are substituting with vodka or rum. Rum is a close cousin as both it and cachaça are made from sugarcane-derived products. Rebello and his team will make themed mains and appetizers during the semi-finals for each team. He’s hoping Africa, Japan or Costa Rica makes it so the team can really experiment.

FREE WRITTEN ESTIMATES FULLY INSURED When Spain played the Netherlands, chefs at the Woods Alehouse in Saskatoon created a gazpacho and honey-glazed parsnips combo for $11. Gazpacho, a Spanish cold soup is made from tomatos, cucumbers, avocado, jalapenos, and a pureed bread crumb and milk mixture. Parsnips were once a staple in the Netherlands before potatoes were introduced. QC PHOTO BY RICHARD MARJAN
“It’ll be a black box… (and) lots of fun for us. Then we’ll throw the challenge to the service crew who have to come up with a drink.” All dishes will of course have a local twist, like mustard or lentils. Rebello is a loyal supporter of the Regina Farmers’ Market, and often dictates his menus by what’s fresh at the farmers’ stalls each week. Abstractions Café in Regina is offering appetizer and beer specials while you watch the game on a 100-inch projection screen. The café always hosts World Cup parties. The Lobby Public House is hosting a World Cup Club House until July 13. All games will be shown live and replayed, and authentic prizes will be up for grabs. Not surprisingly, a rum caipirinha is the feature cocktail. Chefs at the newly opened music spot have made a feature menu to really let you eat like a Brazilian. Items like steak and cheese skewers, a spin on classic Brazilian street food, or chili lime marinated pizza are available during the games. Winston’s English Pub in Saskatoon is also airing the games and has a range of English beer on tap, English snack plates and themed cocktails on special, including a Union Jack martini. Saskatoon’s Taverna is offering free rounds of Peroni in their lounge when Italy scores,

HOW TO EAT LIKE A BRAZILIAN You don’t eat while you watch the game, especially if Brazil is playing, according to Claudinei Machado. The devout soccer fan moved to Canada in 2001 and is a master of Brazilian BBQ. But you won’t catch him at the grill until the game is done. “Nobody wants to be bbqing during the game,” he laughs. “We’re too busy watching, getting excited – yelling and getting angry.” The most common meat to BBQ is steak or pork sausage. Buy a quality cut and you don’t need marinade he says, just salt. Medium rare is perfect – nobody wants to chew through a tire. Beef ribs are also popular – marinate them overnight, then cook on low so they’re ready after the game. Typically the grill master slices the meat into bite-sized strips and passes around a big platter for everyone to share.

Shelby Murdoch: Lovely locks complete any look By Ashley Martin Shelby Murdoch starred in her high school play last fall. For the record, it was Beauty and the Beast, but a role in Hair might have been more apt. She loves doing her hair; leaving it alone is not an option. “I love doing my hair,” said Murdoch. “I never just leave it.” Sometimes she’ll curl it, or opt for a more natural look for her straight hair. Although even that is a process. “It’s funny, you know how people try to go for that natural look? That’s the part that takes the longest is trying to make it look so natural, like you’ve got to put three different hair products in and you have to hold your hand and scrunch it and then let the blow-dryer go at it.” But it’s worth it. Aside from her nails, hair is Murdoch’s top fashion priority. So of course, in preparation for her graduation from Thom Collegiate in Regina this month, she went for a funky updo, provided by her regular stylist Kristina Hallwas. The rest of Murdoch’s graduation ensemble was easy, reflecting her simple sense of style. Her dress and shoes are new, but the rest of her accessories were borrowed or bargained. She knows for sure no one else at graduation will have her dress: The senior girls started a Facebook group where they posted photos of their dresses to eliminate duplication. “A lot of people are going for that fit and flare, which is like a mermaid dress ... I’m the only one with this colour, I’m the only one with this kind of oneshoulder style, so that was pretty neat,” said Murdoch, who is looking forward to the aftermath of graduation more than the celebration itself. “I like this part, but I’d rather already be over there (and) into the new phase,” she said. She has always wanted to be a nurse and is enrolled in the University of Regina/SIAST collaborative program for nursing.
1. 1. HAIR COMB: Half price from a kiosk at Northgate Mall. “It’s really pretty, flowery and it’s really nice.”
2.
2. MAKEUP: SST Signature Series from Boss. 3. EARRINGS: “I always wear earrings; every day I wear earrings.” These Park & Buzz sparkle balls, made in Saskatchewan, belong to her mom.
4.
4. TATTOOS: Both are from Prix Tattoos. Right arm: “(Amazing Grace) was my grandma’s favourite hymn and her funeral song, and her maiden name was Rose.” Left arm: “It’s a quote from a song by Alanis Morissette.”

5. DRESS: From Lisa Andersen’s Prairie Girl Design Studio in Big Beaver, about 200 kilometres south of Regina. “It was the first one I tried on. I really do not like pink at all (normally).” 6. NAILS: “Last year my mom bought me a Gelish kit because it costs $45 or so to go to a salon and get it done. Now I can do minimal designs and I can do French tips.” 7. RINGS: Both belong to her sister.

FASHION HAIR HOW-TO
Step 1
Murdoch’s hair is fresh, pretty and — bonus! — took less Twist both sides of hairline away from the face. Pin along the twist than 20 minutes to do. Versatility was the point of this look, which reminds Hallwas to secure it. of a “boho Gatsby goddess.” “Luckily when I graduated, the ceremony and the fancy part were two separate days,” said Hallwas. “But the more I talk to people, it’s all in the same day ... and I feel like it’s not always realistic to have time to come to the salon and spend a couple hours for hair.” This look was quick and is easy enough to do yourself. Before styling, use a texturizing spray, like Evo’s Mister Fantastic (which Hallwas used), for better hold.
Step 2
Make three little ponytails at the nape of the neck. Backcomb each ponytail for more texture.
Step 3
Twist the ponytail and hold the end with one hand. Slide the thumb and forefinger of the other hand up the ponytail (which makes a kind of spiral bun), then pin the base (use as many pins as necessary). Repeat for all three ponytails.

Step 4
Personalize the look with accessories.
HALLWAS’S GRAD HAIR TIPS
■ If you don’t have time to get your hair done on the big day, consider booking a mini-consultation in advance. “(Then) we have the chance to show them what kind of products to use or what techniques so their style will actually hold throughout the night.” ■ Don’t necessarily pay attention to hair trends. You can pull off any style with confidence. Don’t stress about what’s cool — just celebrate your unique style. ■ Hair accessories can complete a look and change a simple style. ■ Pack some bobby pins and a mini hairspray in case of hair emergencies.

GARDENING # G A R D E N I N G I N S A S K AT C H E WA N
Ground covers for dry shade: part two By Sara Williams Dry shade — under a dense tree canopy, between houses and under the eaves – is many a gardener’s bane and embarrassment. Grass won’t survive, nor will most perennials or shrubs. But there are some drought- and shade-tolerant ground cover plants that once established can be used to solve those problem areas. Establishing plants requires a bit of extra care in their first year: amend planting holes with organic matter, like compost, apply a 10 cm mulch layer and water deeply regularly. Here are a few dry shade groundcovers that will cover your shameful areas: Western Canada violet (Viola canadensis) Native to our Prairie woodlands, it’s a hardy, enduring and attractive ground cover for dry shade. Fragrant white flowers with a yellow eye and distinct purple-pink veins appear in late spring and early summer above heartshaped foliage. Bigroot perennial geranium (Geranium macrorrhizum) Excellent for dry shaded areas. As the Latin name suggests, it grows from big rootstocks to form a dense cover of intensely fragrant, light green leaves about 30 cm high. The flowers are 2.5 cm in diameter and appear in early summer. They vary in colour from white to deep magenta. The leaves turn an attractive orange in the fall. The lighter the shade, the greater the flowering, but the foliage alone earns it a place as a ground cover. Pygmy caragana (Caragana pygmaea) As well-adapted to shade as the betterknown hedge caragana (C. arborescens) found throughout our prairie farmland. Its grey-green foliage is fine-textured, each pinnately compound leaf consisting of four small leaflets. Only 75 cm in both height and spread, it is globe-shaped and works well as a mass understory under trees. It has attractive yellow flowers but also spines (which makes it an excellent barrier planting as well.) ‘Sem’ false spirea (Sorbaria sorbifolia ‘Sem’) A fairly recent addition to our arsenal of ground covers and survives in deep shade with little water once established. It emerges
in the spring with startling golden-orange foliage mingled with lime green, brightening even the gloomiest shade. Pinnately compound leaves and white feathery flowers in late summer add to its landscape value. About 1 m in height, it eventually forms a continuous understory through suckering. As attractive as the foliage appears in a nursery pot in the spring, don’t be ‘suckered’ into thinking that it will be well behaved in a shrub border. It will be out of bounds within a season. Use it as intended: as a ground cover. Western snowberry (Symphoricarpos occidentaliuss) Well used by Deiter Martin as an understory in partial shade on the University of Saskatchewan campus grounds. Native to the prairies, it spreads by suckering. Pink, bellshaped flowers in spring are followed by clusters of non-edible berries that ripen to an attractive white but may later turn brown. The oval leaves are a blue-green. Creeping forget-me-not (Omphalodes verna alba) A low (20 cm) perennial distinguished by its bright green, lance-shaped foliage and the small, white flowers that appear in spring. It spreads by stolons and thrives in dry shade.
Western snowberry.

Virginia creeper (Parthenoccissus quinquefolia) Most admired for its brilliant scarlet fall foliage. Keep in mind that this feature will be subdued in the shade, but the large compound leaves, each with five toothed leaflets, remain attractive. Small blueberries resembling grapes follow the inconspicuous flowers. It is particularly useful to cover slopes. Williams is the author of the newly revised Creating the Prairie Xeriscape. Her latest book, The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo: A photographic History will be released shortly.

ASK ELLIE
Wife’s anger needs to be addressed for daughter’s sake Q. My daughter, now 24, was adopted at age four and has lived in Canada since. Her long-strained relationship with my wife has worsened. She lives with her sameage affluent boyfriend. Sadly, she’s failed or withdrawn from many things: not finishing high school, nor university makeup courses, never staying long in a job, losing many friends. She complained of mood disorders but a university psychiatrist saw no other problems except possibly ADHD (previously diagnosed). Now, she and her boyfriend refuse to see us unless my wife sees a psychiatrist about her anger issues, which my daughter says have ruined her life. Over 34 years together I’ve seen that my wife’s anger does flare up but quickly dies out. I’m reluctant to waste time, money and emotional distress in urging this. Our choices: 1) pretend to have seen a psychiatrist and lie about it; 2) she actually consults one; 3) we refuse. Troubling Situation A. It’s most “troubling” that you’d consider lying, and also compare your vision of your wife’s anger to that of a child’s, without understanding the fear, helplessness, and unfairness that a child feels when the all-powerful adult’s anger mysteriously flares then disappears. By the age of four, your daughter had already experienced upheaval before she was adopted and her entire world changed. Those anger outbursts may indeed have confused

her greatly, and affected her lack of confidence. To try to re-establish a relationship with her daughter, your wife should see a psychiatrist. And you should encourage this as a family need. She needs to see her place in the “story,” and have compassion for
Q. My husband’s uncle is an alcoholic who gets sloppy drunk and becomes disgusting to be around. Because he’s my father-in-law’s “baby” brother, everyone else accepts “that’s him.” I don’t. He makes tasteless sexist jokes around my teenage daughter, swears, staggers, and slurs his words, which makes everyone laugh including my adolescent son. I want to avoid going to these events but my husband says he’d go without me and it’ll divide us, and make me the bad guy. Torn A. They’re a family of enablers, a tough circle of denial to break. Consider whether you can encourage some family members (your husband?) to attend an Al-Anon meeting, and learn the real impact of pretending alcoholism’s acceptable. Example: the message to kids, and the culture of ignoring problems. Also, suggest closest relatives convince Uncle to get a health check, and confront any physical effects. Meanwhile, teach your own kids that caring about someone doesn’t mean ignoring a serious problem.
