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

M E L I S S A W O L L M A N A N D D E B B I E P. S TA H L

Sarah’s Journey: The Story of A Hutterite Woman The book we have written, Sarah’s Journey: The Story of A Hutterite Woman, about our ancestor, is the story of a woman’s life played out against the larger background of her people’s destiny.

Hutterites are Anabaptist Christians, an off-shoot of the Protestant Reformation. From their beginnings in the mountains of South Tyrol in the 1600s, their search for religious freedom led them from country to country across Eastern Europe for more than two centuries, culminating in virtually the entire people’s migration to America in 1874-1879.

The first Hutterite settlements were in South Dakota. Later immigrations to Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba led to the establish-

ment of communities that still exist today.

Our book takes place in the latter part of this vivid history. Sarah Stahl Wollman was born in Ukraine, immigrated to South Dakota, and died in Alberta. She lived in interesting times, as her people strove to make a home for themselves while retaining their ancestral values in this new land.

The research into our great-greatgrandmother’s life began rather incidentally. Initially, there were only a few conversations with relatives to discover more of this ancestor of whom we had always heard of in family lore. As details of her life and times began to emerge, from a few personal memories and many

second-hand recollections, it almost began to have a sense of urgency.

Many people regretfully told us: “This-and-this person could have told you more, but they’ve passed on already.”

This made it compelling to gather as much information as we still could, and in the process certain periods of history took on clear, lifelike depths. The unsolved mystery in Sarah’s life had far-reaching effects in the lives of her descendants.

It became not only the history of someone who lived long ago, but rather a prologue, as it were, to our own modern day story.

Perhaps the crystallizing moment in our search came when we unexpectedly received a letter by fax that

our ancestor had written almost 100 years ago. A scholar of Hutterite history had discovered the letter in the archives of an old newspaper, and hearing of our search, passed it on.

In reading the letter we heard the voice of our great-great-grandmother coming through the long years between us, out of the silence of those who are gone, making our search intensely real. Here was the voice of a woman, talking of her children, mentioning little happenings among her people, sharing the longings and sufferings of her life, and testifying to deep faith in God even in sorrow.

Perhaps this book may inspire you to take your own journey to discover your ancestors’ story. It is available at amazon.ca.

. . . In a lot of ways, Agribition’s a bit of a marriage broker. – Marty Seymour

CANADIAN WESTERN AGRIBITION

Telling the food story

Canadian Western Agribition CEO and president Marty Seymour speaks highly of the hundreds of people who put organize and run the huge agribusiness show each year. BRIDGES PHOTO BY DON HEALY

By Will Chabun Marty Seymour tells a story about the day he was trying to make a good impression, taking some bank executives on a walking tour of the Canadian Western Agribition, the annual autumn agribusiness show that Seymour heads — when they came to a copy of the bank’s corporate logo — on a wall behind a cattle-loading chute and a dumpster.

There was — how to put this politely? — cow poop on the bank’s sign.

Seymour was mortified.

The bankers?

They laughed.

Seymour tells that story to make a point: there’s something about this annual livestock show, consumer fair and entertainment extravaganza that has everybody pulling together to make sure it comes off OK. Shucks, it’s like a Prairie wedding — you make it work.

The wedding analogy is appropriate in another way. For Seymour

and his staff, the pace is so fast and furious that “it’s like 90 weddings in six days here,” says the tall, amiable Agribition CEO. Seymour likes the wedding metaphor. In a 2013 interview talking about Agribition’s past and present focus as a cattle show, he said, “People want to see the people they’re dealing with, build a relationship (and) do some transactions. So in a lot of ways, Agribition’s a bit of a marriage broker.”

Seymour is also fond of another

word: “people.”

He talks with admiration about everybody involved with putting on Agribition, from its eight full-time employees (who log 12- and 14-hour days as the big show approaches), the approximately 200 seasonal staff, around 400 volunteers, some of them locals, some of them from well outside Regina and weave a volunteer stint at Agribition into their annual holiday plans. He salutes Evraz Place’s staff and says that when you’re putting on a big public event like this, “I think

the janitorial staff is equally important.”

And speaking of people, those of us who attend as visitors seem to like it — a lot. For the last few years, attendance has been around 125,000 people, which means it’s one of the four biggest agribusiness shows in its class in North America.

Locally, Agribition (which runs Nov. 24-29) is second only to the QC Ex summer fair in getting people onto Evraz Place.

They’ve been able to become a lot more businesslike and progressive in the operations of their show. They’ve had attendance success and they’ve benefited from these new buildings. — Mark Allan

No other show at Evraz Place takes up so much indoor and outdoor space, with parked cattle trailers spilling out to the area on the north side of the CPR tracks between Elphinstone and Albert streets.

Visitors come from an estimated 65 countries and the show injects about $37 million directly into the provincial economy each year, he estimates, with about $20 million of that staying in Regina.

It’s possible that nobody was happier to see the new hotels being built in Regina over the last few years than Seymour, who admits construction work on Mosaic Stadium 2.0 will reduce on-site parking. But with the use of shuttle buses (from the Southland and Northgate malls), that can be taken in stride, too.

Agribition’s landlord takes a similarly upbeat view. “It’s been a great, successful relationship for many years, “ says Evraz Place CEO Mark D&G

Raised on a farm near Carnduff, he was happily signed in the 1980s to help show a neighbour’s cattle at it — and became “hooked on the social nature” of the show. He later went to the University of Saskatchewan for a degree in animal science, then worked in the animal feed, nutrition and pharmaceutical industries, getting into the business’s marketing side — good training for the “people” aspect of Agribition.

He joined it as CEO in 2011 and figures he has “the coolest job in Regina.”

Another story makes that point: Some volunteers recently were in Seymour’s office in Evraz Place’s Canada Centre to discuss a better way to recognize other volunteers; one made the point that “once this gets rolling, the volunteers take ownership of this thing and we insulate our visitors from the little missteps and the speed bumps.

Allan, who concedes that Agribition would like to see the aging cattle barns at the site’s northwest corner replaced. Under Seymour’s leadership, “they’ve been able to become a lot more businesslike and progressive in the operations of their show,” said Allan. “They’ve had attendance success and they’ve benefited from these new buildings. We’re hopeful to be able to solve some of the old barns’ issues in the next couple or three years.”

Challenges — yet, Agribition’s eight permanent staff, 200 more seasonal staffers hired to work on Agribition, plus 400 volunteers and staff from Evraz Place always pull it off.

“There’s happiness and there’s crying and there’s fighting and all the things that happen at a good family wedding,” says Seymour in a chat in his office on the second floor of the Canada Centre.

Seymour’s own relationship with Agribition goes back to its early days.

It frightened us enough, to the point where we wondered what we were going to do about it.

“It works so well because it’s volunteer-derived. To pick up a shovel, pick up a broom or open a gate — they’re not directed by staff.’

“And so with that comes an inherent passion.”

Now, passion of a different kind, for this story begins with, er, sex.

Back in the late 1960s, ranchers on the Canadian Prairies were feeling pretty confident about the quality of cattle they were breeding.

And being sensible businessmen, they wanted to make sure potential buyers knew this.

But they were a little tired of putting cattle onto railcars for the one big Canadian cattle show held in those days, the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, as it cost considerable money and about 20 days of a cattleman’s time to make the trip.

In her 1990 history of Agribition’s first 20 years, author Bonnie

Stephenson says a group of ambitious Prairie cattlemen including Chris Sutter and Jim Lewthwaite had an idea: after a trip to the National Western Stock Show in Denver (which bills itself as the “world’s largest stock show”) they wondered if Western Canada didn’t deserve a show.

Why, it could be held in Regina, more-or-less in the centre of the Canadian Prairies and close to the

best cattle country in the U.S. Regina also was one of the few centres with facilities for such a show — at what used to be called “the exhibition grounds.”

Back in Regina, Sutter talked his way into the office of then-premier Ross Thatcher, a cattleman himself, and sold the idea of adding a high-quality cattle show to the existing Mexabition (“mechanical exhibition”) trade show for

farms supported by the provincial department of agriculture. Thus, the very first Canadian Western Agribition was held in the late autumn of 1971. (Stephenson’s book notes alternative names that were pitched: The Saskatchewan Little Winter Fair, The Royal Fair, International Golden Prairie Livestock Show and Sale. and The Canadian Cattle Derby.)

I think you’re going to see, in the next 10 years, the growth of ‘the food story.’ It links back to people wanting to know where their food comes from — who raises the food? — Seymour

Seymour says he’s learned that Agribition evolved through several distinct stages.

The 1970s were the early days, when organizers learned what would work — and what wouldn’t. The idea of international buyers probably didn’t occur to the early organizers, Seymour says. “But it filled a need within Western Canada.”

Old-timers told him there was “social pressure from your neighbours to come and support this thing ’cause we want this to work,” said Seymour.

The 1980s was the era of exotic cattle breeds and the rise of international trade and buyers as the transportation of buyers and animals became easier, quicker and more affordable.

The 1990s saw the arrival of what he calls “every” imaginable breed of specialty livestock: elk, ostriches, emus and llamas.

Gradually, more and more entertainment was added.

On a more sombre note, there were the years after 2003 and the discovery of a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy

(alias BSE, a neurological disease commonly known as “mad cow disease”) in Canada and the subsequent closing of the U.S. border to our beef exports that meant fewer places to sell beef, and lower prices. So until about 2010, there was what Seymour calls a “right-sizing” of the cattle portion of Agribition. The live cattle trade fell off, attendance fluctuated and the show found “a new balance”.

That’s why Seymour figures Agribition is a little like Fed Ex. Just as the amount of business the parcel giant does is a surprisingly accurate barometer of the U.S. economy, Seymour figures that Agribition is a good measure of the health of the livestock sector, in particular, and Canadian agriculture, in general.

And the overall news is that “our trade show is completely sold out.”

Yes, the crop side of things “reflected on their involvement” in the face of a late harvest and a crop that, inevitably, is smaller than 2013’s megaharvest. “They’re challenged,” Seymour said.

But balancing that, things are going very well for livestock producers. That means more entries for Agribition’s livestock shows.

Says Seymour: “The show is continuing to expand.”

■ ■ ■ ■ Such success does not go unnoticed. Bonnie Stephenson’s 1990 book on the first 20 years of Agribition noted that no sooner had organizers got provincial government support for their show and contacted cattlemen than one of their number in Alberta noted this had forestalled a plan to create a major-league livestock show in Calgary. A decade later, then-mayor Larry Schneider (no stranger to agribusiness thanks to his previous job as farm commentator on CKCK-TV) learned that a group in Calgary or Edmonton was trying to lure away Agribition or start a rival show.

Nothing had been put on paper, but Schneider said recently that, “it frightened us enough, to the point where we wondered what we were going to do about it.”

What might have tipped the scales was that the federal agriculture department had only so much money to spend on sponsorships and awards, and “the government had already declared that Agribition would be the western show,” he recalled.

To competitors like Edmonton’s Farmfair International, Agribition has responded with gusto. Year by year, there’s been more entertainment (watch for jousting this year) and seminars on agribusiness. First Nations pro-

gramming was added three years ago, and Seymour takes particular pride in Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations vice-chief Delbert Wapass, in ceremonial garb and mounted on a horse — getting a warm welcome when he opened the show’s rodeo. “And from a cowboy show!” said Seymour, who needs no prompting to talk about the growing importance of First Nations economic development. “Those were good moments.” (Insiders’ tip: the Indigenous Ag Summit is held Nov. 25-26.)

But Seymour talks most enthusiastically about the 6,000 schoolchildren from Regina and area who come to Agribition each year, racing off their buses to what, for some, is their very first exposure to Canadian agriculture.

That fits well with another of Agribition’s goals: “Telling the food story” to a country increasingly divorced from how it really gets its food, how it’s a big-money business and how it’s full of job opportunities for those students when they grow up.

It’s no coincidence this jibes with the “Agriculture More Than Ever” educational campaign recently started by Farm Credit Canada and its allies. “I think you’re going to see, in the next 10 years, the growth of ‘the food story’,” says Seymour, waxing philosophical about Agribition’s future. “It links back to people wanting to know where their food comes from — who raises the food?”

As a grinning Seymour says, “It’s not just a cow show.”

RUBY SLIPPER EVENT

On Nov. 16, the Hose and Hydrant pub was packed with about 80 ladies who came out to support Habitat for Humanity and have some fun on a snowy Sunday afternoon. The Ruby Slipper Event raised $8,000 for Habitaty for Humanity Saskatoon’s 100K in 100 Days campaign. That money will go towards building a home for one Saskatoon family this winter.

Each guest was asked to bring a bottle of wine to add to the Wall O’ Wine and one lucky woman, Susan Ramsay, took it all home at the end of the event. In a unique twist on a clothing share party, everyone was given a bag upon arrival to fill with clothing, shoes and accessories donated by others who support the 100K in 100 Days campaign.

Designer’s home is beautifully eclectic

By Ashley Martin WHO? Laurie Nenson and her husband Deryl.

WHAT/WHERE? Their 2,900-square-foot two-storey home in south-central Regina.

WHEN? It passes as one of the neighbourhood’s near-century-old homes, but this house was built just 19 years ago.

WHY? Though she says now she wished she had been “brave enough” to build a more modernlooking home after razing the dilapidated 800-square-foot home previously on the lot, Nenson used her keen eye and background in interior design to create something that would fit into the neighbourhood.

The exterior of the home looks like it stepped right out of the 1920s. The bones of the interior, though more open-concept than an authentic old design would have, is still segmented into clear-cut spaces. But unlike an old home, the decor is bright and light — mid-century modern-meets-art gallery.

HOW? Aside from the kitchen’s dark cherrywood cabinetry, the rest of the decor is light: maple flooring and eggshell-white walls throughout the house, so as not to detract from the artwork, which takes centre stage.

Nenson has been an art lover as long as she can remember. She’s an artist herself and “from the time that I was earning a paycheck, I’ve been buying art.”

Her two favourite artworks are childhood pieces by her two sons — one is a blue plate with two butterflies. Beside it is her nextfavourite piece, a John Henry Fine Day rawhide sculpture.

SPACES “He was an amazing emerging First Nations artist just hitting his stride,” said Nenson of Fine Day, who died of cancer in 2006, “so there are very few pieces that exist.”

Nenson has works by a variety of artists, including Heather Warner, Michael Hosaluk, Joe Fafard, David Thauberger, Richard Gorenko and Kyle Herranen.

Her collection has a bit of a farm theme, which Nenson attributes to the fact that “almost all of the art in here is by Saskatchewan artists.”

She doesn’t have enough wall space to display everything, so “it becomes a bit of a rotation. People will come in and say, ‘Oh, that’s a new piece,’ and I’ll say, ‘No, it used to hang over there,’ or, ‘I brought it downstairs from the attic.’”

Off the walls, Nenson’s furniture pieces are like artworks themselves.

“I wouldn’t buy it just as a functional piece; I’d buy it because it looks like art,” said Nenson.

From the Noguchi 1940s glass table to the Frank Gehry hockey series chair to the Eero Saarinen 1940s dining chairs, almost no two pieces are alike.

“The furniture is art as well. It’s a bit overkill I think,” said Nenson. “Even the pillows, they’re picked because each one looks like it should be there.”

Nenson has channelled Jonathan Adler in her home decor.

“He has a line that states one’s home should be an anti-depressant,” she said. “What I love most about it (is) there’s little punches of colour all over and there’s nothing dark or dreary about it. It’s a happy home.”

Though Nenson loves all the pieces in her home, she’s ready for a new structural model.

She has a new home on her drawing board — “whether or not it’ll ever get built, I don’t know,” said Nenson — in which the exterior is a better reflection of the interior. Decor-wise it would be much the same.

“I think the art could go in almost any interior,” she said.

“Our kids are away at university so a lot of the spaces don’t get used. We kind of live in the family room, live in the kitchen,” said Nenson. “I would have one big great room.” amartin@leaderpost.com Twitter.com/LPAshleyM

No sugar tonight? Yes, please

By Jenn Sharp Diabetes is on the rise in Saskatchewan, and more people than ever are pre-diabetic.

There are currently over 90,000 people with the life-altering auto immune disease, in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. That number is expected to increase by 2020, when about 10 per cent of the population will have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes usually develops in childhood or adolescence and occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and kills the beta cells of the pancreas. Very little insulin is released into the body and glucose builds up in the blood.

Type 2 diabetes happens when the body can’t properly use the insulin released or doesn’t

make enough insulin. Type 2 can often be prevented or the need for medication can be delayed with close attention to diet and exercise.

November 14 was World Diabetes Day and November is Diabetes Awareness Month. It was with diabetics in mind that the Canadian Diabetes Association’s (CDA) Northern Saskatchewan branch planned the first No Sugar Tonight dinner, held Nov. 13 at the Sheraton Cavalier in Saskatoon.

From the appetizer to dessert, the dinner contained just 34 g of sugar, none of which was refined or processed. The Sheraton’s executive chef Robin Andreas designed a menu to fit the evening’s theme: Fresh, whole foods, prepared in a low-fat manner with plenty of healthy carbs, quality protein, vegetables and even berries for dessert.

A Tuscan Salad with roasted baby gold beets, grapefruit supremes, crumbled Chevre and raspberry vinegar and avocado oil was served at the No Sugar Tonight dinner. BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHELLE BERG

SHARP EATS Lauren Suchan, a registered dietitian with the CDA, explained why certain foods were incorporated into the dinner. Wild rice was in the Saskatchewan succotash with the main course (wild mushroom stuffed chicken) because it’s high in fibre. Fibre slows digestion and lowers the glycemic index (see the sidebar for more info on this). It still contains plenty of carbs though so keep your portions in check.

“Carbs are important,” said Suchan. “The brain uses them for fuel. The brain doesn’t burn protein.”

Choose carbs smartly — go for nutrient dense (not white or processed).

A small plate of wild rice will keep you full longer than a big plate of white rice.

Dr. Terra Arnason, an endocrinologist and diabetes researcher, spoke at the dinner, emphasizing how important diet is in preventing and treating diabetes.

She said that before the 20th century, Type 2 diabetes was rare. Today, 90 per cent of diabetics have Type 2.

There’s also a rise in children developing Type 2 diabetes at “astoundingly young ages.” Up to 60 per cent of Type 2 cases can be prevented through exercise and weight management.

A new class of oral medication has recently been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, something Arnason saw as a big plus.

“It improves people’s willingness to take the medication,” said Arnason.

“This drug encourages a further drop in glucose through the urine.”

She says early prevention is still the clear goal and that it will take a big change in society to reduce prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes rates in Saskatchewan.

“There needs to be resources everywhere, not just in urban locations to make it work.”

SHARP EATS THE GLYCEMIC INDEX (GI) GI is a scale that ranks carbohydrate-rich foods by how much they raise blood glucose levels compared to a standard food, (like white bread).

Eating foods with a low GI helps control blood glucose and cholesterol levels, and appetite. It also lowers your risk for getting heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

■ Eat vegetables, fruit and low-fat milk products — these are carbohydrate-rich foods that have a low GI ■ Try low GI foods like barley, bulgur, couscous or lentils ■ Eat at regular times and choose a variety of foods from all food groups ■ Limit sugars, salt, alcohol and caffeine, and reduce fat ■ Eat foods high in fibre ■ To find examples of low, medium and high GI foods, search for Glycemic Index on the diabetes.ca site

Researchers are also working on how to stop diabetes’ auto immune attack in the first place, and there’s hope a bio-artificial pancreas will become available (it’s in the works now).

Arnason recommends people find out their risk for developing diabetes through an online

risk assessment test at: www.diabetes.ca/takethe-test. The test will help you assess your diet and exercise habits, and offer ways to make changes to help stave off diabetes. jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

ASK ELLIE

Don’t wait for someone’s other relationship to fail Q. Seven months ago, I met a man and we hit it off instantly. But I made it clear that due to my high-stress career, I wanted a casual open relationship. He agreed.

We’ve been sexual from the start, and he’s respectful of physical boundaries, eager to please, communicates, and has a sense of humour. We see each other regularly, but only one friend knows about us.

We’ve also been supportive emotionally and career-wise. He’ll often complain to me about relationship problems with the other woman he’s seeing.

Initially, I was content with that.

But recently, I’ve fallen for him! This is new for me — previously I’ve never wanted to get too attached, fearing commitment.

But he’s made me feel more comfortable and accepted than anyone else did. I want him all to myself, now.

I said so, and he asked what I propose we do next. He doesn’t wish to leave the other woman, but he’s indicated that if I forced his hand, he’d

It’s not a plea for him to choose you.

It’s an honest choice to walk away before your dates become painful, or worse, divisive.

He may not immediately choose you. It may take several months apart before you both know for sure whether or not this could be a lasting union.

But it’ll be the best way to find out.

Ask Ellie

choose me.

I hate ultimatums, but I don’t want to share him. Should I wait for his other relationship to end, as it inevitably will?

Fairy-tale Romance or Bad Ending?

A. You’re finally ready for commitment, so sharing him will make you jealous, angry, and cause arguments between you two.

Play no games — no ultimatums, no waiting it out. Tell him you’re ready for both of you to plan towards being together. You understand if he can’t do that. But you cannot date casually any more, so you’re ending the relationship.

BRA CLINIC

No Fitting Fee, No Shipping & Handling & product available at the time of fitting for purchase

Q. My wife’s daughter is 27, loud, and opinionated, often at loggerheads with her mother. She’s also a single mother. Whenever we see her and the child, who’s only four years old, there’s fighting and tension.

But my wife will never set limits because she fears she’ll be cut off from her granddaughter. I feel like a hostage in their battleground, but if I say I have to go elsewhere, my wife gets hurt and her daughter gets insulted.

I think things are only going to get worse.

Hostage A. Yes, they’ll get worse if you don’t speak up. If doing that risks your relationship with either of them, better

now than when your resentment’s escalated.

Tell them how they’re affecting you, and affecting the child, too.

This single mother and child need loving grandparent involvement. Tell the daughter that you want to continue to be in the girl’s life but can’t accept constant tension.

Also, talk to your wife alone. There’s clearly another battle that’s silent, between her and her daughter.

It likely has to do with disapproval and criticism on the mom’s side, with defiance and defensiveness from her daughter.

That may lead to a blow-up and possible split between them one day, whether or not you’re around.

But change is possible if your wife takes the lead and backs off the arguments. It’s hard to battle when only one side’s fighting.

Tell her. If she wants to assure ongoing contact with her granddaughter, this is what she needs to hear. And family counselling between those two would benefit all of you.

Q. This boy and I became official 18 months ago, but split up repeatedly, once during which he found another partner.

For the past six months, we’ve been having sex but aren’t in a relationship. He doesn’t want to because of his not always being loyal. He say he doesn’t want to mess things up again, so doesn’t like the relationship title.

He calls me his girlfriend with family and close friends, but seems embarrassed about me with certain people.

I want a relationship commitment.

I know he’s texting other girls. I feel like I’m being used for sex.

But if I don’t have sex with him, he wouldn’t leave me; he’d have sex with someone else behind my back. If I end it, I know we’ll make up again.

Cycle of Love A. This isn’t about love, but your lack of self-respect and his self-indulgence. He cheats because he can, because you keep taking him back.

Be confident that you deserve better.

End it, period.

WOMEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HEALTHY BRAS

Have you gone on a bra shopping trip, only to be frustrated, walking away empty handed? Jeunique International, founded in 1959, manufactures health bras based on the engineering of the Golden Gate Bridge (balanced load suspension).

Shirley McInnes (International Executive Director), a Certified Bra Fitter, is coming to Saskatoon for a 2 day Bra Clinic. Bras on the market with frills and lace may look nice, but they are not doing their job. (85% OF WOMEN ARE WEARING THE WRONG BRA!) A women needs support from beneath the breast tissue. The Tab and the Jeunique/Leunique Bras both fit small to full figure, sports, maternity and mastectomy - 200 sizes and 3 styles to choose from 30A - 46KK; no bounce, no wires to gouge or bruises or impeded lymphatic drainage and circulation. Does not ride up in the back or fall off the shoulders and promotes better posture. Switching to a custom fitted bra is like giving up a floppy pair of slippers for an orthotic shoe. Once women adjust to the uplift and snugness (a couple of weeks) you become a life-long client. Doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors often refer their patients to us.

How to grow amaryllis in time for the New Year

By Sara Williams Always a cheery addition to the early winter, amaryllis flowers have graced many a home for just about two centuries. Simple to grow and bring into flower, even those with the blackest of thumbs can succeed.

Purchase large, firm bulbs that show only the scars or stubs of old foliage but no new leaves. Bigger bulbs are always better, producing more flowers. Chose a pot (with drainage holes) that is 8-10 cm wider than the bulb. Once growth begins, the root mass can become quite extensive.

Once in bloom, the plant is top-heavy, so a heavier pot (made of clay or terracotta) will counterbalance better than a plastic one and prevent it from toppling over.

Use a light, well-drained potting mixture containing some peat moss.

Place the bulb on top of 2 to 5 cm of soil and then fill the remaining space so that about two-thirds of the bulb is covered and one third remains exposed above the potting mixture.

Firm the soil, water well and allow it to drain. Discard any water in the saucer.

Place the pot in a sunny warm room with a temperature range of 18 to 25 C. Nighttime can be slightly cooler.

Water sparingly until the first shoots appear. Once growth begins, water whenever the soil is dry — ensuring that it is evenly moist but not overly wet. Do not over-water as this may cause the bulb to rot. Turn the pot every few days to ensure that the foliage growth is evenly balanced. Cultivars with larger blooms may need staking to prevent toppling over.

Fertilize monthly with a complete soluble houseplant fertilizer (e.g.

20-20-20) while in active growth, remembering that it’s generally better to under-fertilize rather than to overfertilize. The bulb nourishes the current year’s bloom, but good nutrition will ensure large, healthy bulbs and flowers for future years.

Once the flower buds begin to open (six to eight weeks after potting up),

Amaryllis bulbs will start well in your home and should flower within six weeks of planting. PHOTO COURTESY SIMONE HAMBERG

move the pot to a cooler location with indirect light to prolong flowering and promote more intense colouring.

Remover flowers as they fade.

After flowering, return the pot to a sunny location and water and feed regularly to promote healthy dark green foliage. Food manufactured in the leaves will enlarge and feed the bulb that has shrunk during flowering. If cared for properly, amaryllis

bulbs should increase 1 to 2 cm in diameter each year.

Your amaryllis can spend its summer outdoors. Plant the bulb still in its pot in a semi-shaded location. Protect from spring and fall frosts. As the leaves turn yellow, remove them with a sharp knife or a gentle tug. Bring them indoors in September and store them in a cool (12 C) dry location like your garage until signs of growth ap-

Try a kir mixed drink with a Saskatchewan twist

By James Romanow If the advent of the snow and cold gives you an urge for something sweet and flavourful, allow me to recommend a locally-made product available at the Saskatoon Farmers’ Market.

Living Sky Winery makes a variety of interesting wines from different fruits and they recently released a wine that is something of a staple in France — cassis, or currant wine.

Burgundy has always produced Crème de Cassis and it is in pretty much every rural French liquor cabinet.

It is an obscure drink here although it had a moment in the sun a couple of decades back when the New World discovered a mixed drink called kir. Cassis is a pleasant drink alone, slightly tart-sweet it makes a nice aperitif or pousse-café.

And the Living Sky version does very nicely as exactly this kind of drink. The taste profile is somewhere between an LBV (late bottled vintage) and a tawny port. It has a nice acidic edge to it, a slightly sweet finish, and a complex fruity palate.

If that is insufficient for you, I suggest you need to explore a kir and a kir royale. The drink is named for a Mayor Kir of Dijon, a relentless builder of trade and relationships. It is chilled white wine with a splash of cassis, roughly eight parts wine to one part cassis. Kir royale

substitutes sparkling wine for the still white.

Allow me therefore to suggest a Saskatchewan version, the Atchison, consisting of five shots sparkling wine — Atch is always formally dressed — and one shot Living Sky Cassis.

I’ll leave it up to you to choose which you drink — straight or with wine.
