Flock and Gather Craft Collective’s Shauna Buck, Wayne Jorgenson and Erin Weiss have organized biannual markets for unique and eclectic handmade items. qc phoTo by michelle berg

produced bowl, but it does. — Erin Weiss

By Jeanette Stewart

Erin Weiss’ home makes you say ‘wow.’In the afternoon, the magazine-worthy house

in Saskatoon’s Caswell Hill area is bathed in natural light and filled with bright colours and unique objects, furniture and lighting.

“You can’t quite get it until you have this

stuff in your life. It sounds crazy to say a hand-made bowl is going to make you happier than a mass-produced bowl, but it does,” she said. “You notice the details about these things. I al-ways feel like I don’t need to have as much stuff. I have fewer, special handmade things. When those bowls break, you cry.”

As a doll maker, crafter and one of the six founding members of the Flock and Gather

Craft Collective, Weiss has an expert esthetic and a deep appreciation for handmade items.

She balances a toddler on her lap as a few of the founding members talk about the genesis of the Flock and Gather Craft Collective, an up-start group who host biannual markets full of eclectic, independent crafts and artwork.

The group met in late 2010 at another craft sale and realized the city needed more oppor-

tunities for emerging artisans and artists to meet, make and sell their work together.

Since their first market, Flock and Gather sales have built a reputation in Saskatchewan for unique and eclectic handmade items.

“It was quite obvious that there was certain-ly an amazing, growing community in Saska-toon of handmade artisans and crafters,” said fellow founder Wayne Jorgenson.

Upstart craft markets unique to Saskatchewan


If we’re not creative, if we’re not doing something crafty that enrichesthe people that we are, it’s bad news. — Cookie Madill’

At their Christmas sale in Decem-ber, more than 600 people walked through the door in the first two hours. For the last few sales they’ve received more than 1,000 visitors for each show, lured by snacks, free entry, elaborate decor and a collection of handmade items you just can’t find anywhere else in the city.

They also feature their crafters on their blog and hold regular craft nights at the Mendel Art Gallery to get together with the craft community and “to find someone who understands your severe love of glitter,” said Shau-na Buck, an illustrator and maker who helped found the collective. She wears a bright sweater adorned with a tiny button that says “Nice to Meet You.”

Though many of the artists, artisans and crafters who show their work at the sales are professionally trained, it can be a difficult jump from art school to the real world.

Fine arts programs quite often teach the arts, but not how to make a living say Buck and Jorgenson.

Bringing “makers” together at craft nights and sales fosters a conversation, says Buck, who moved from Ontario to start her career in Saskatchewan.

Many of these people are profession-ally trained artists and part-time craft-ers, taking on a side business in addi-tion to full- or part-time gigs.

“I wouldn’t be able to make a living doing this full-time. It does definitely supplement my living,” said artist Steph Canning. She was accepted to the Flock and Gather show for the first time last spring, where she began selling her quirky, cute and feminine household wares that include decora-tive tea cozies, bags, bow ties and cake pillows.

Canning admits she may have spent more on fabric last year than she made in sales, but she says she’d be making work with or without the opportunity to sell it.

“I’m very driven to do it all the time,” she said. “I have been up nights because I’m thinking of new projects or new fabrics I want to try.”

A pair of crafters in Regina say they’re similarly driven to create work, and their desire to create an “entry lev-el” craft sale was what led Cassie Ozog and Cookie Madill to begin the True Knit craft sale in Regina.Continued on Page 6Cassie Ozog, left, and Cookie Madill believe that knowing and supporting local crafters and artisans encourages a greater sense of community. qc phoTo by Troy Fleece


I think there’s so much that gets produced commercially all the timethat people don’t have a connection to handmade objects anymore. — Canning’

“Crafting never sleeps,” said Madill, who works full-time in addition to administering the regular craft sales. “If we’re not creative, if we’re not doing something crafty that en-riches the people that we are, it’s bad news.”

The friends — who met through roller der-by — were crafting one night and decided to look into entering their work into a sale. They found the entry cost and the amount of prod-uct needed for some of the major craft sales daunting.

“We Googled craft shows in Regina and the entry fees, and we were like ‘oh no,’” said Ma-dill.

They decided they would create their own event, and the regular sales have become a hub for crafts that aren’t the typical doilies, woodwork or porcelain dolls you’d associate with some of the more established sales —

think knit hats with mohawks for children, or skull paintings.

They’ve created a community for people who make things that are a bit different.

“Every once in a while there’s one or two people you can tell who don’t know what we do, and they walk in and look horrified. That’s almost as good as the people who really like us,” said Madill.

A row of screen-printed Flock and Gather posters lines the wall in Mike Zimmer’s base-ment work space.

The soap maker, stay-at-home dad and busi-nessman became part of the Flock and Gather markets at the start after meeting the found-ers at a CFCR community radio craft sale.

His goal is to create products free from the chemicals and additives contained in most commercially-made grooming products. He also wants to make natural products acces-sible to everyone.

“You shouldn’t have to be rich to use nat-ural products, it should just be something that we’re doing on a regular basis,” he ex-plained.

The Flock and Gather sales have allowed him to reach out to a new demographic and finds his client base growing each time he sets up his wares — which include natural deodorant, soaps and hand salve — at one of the sales.

“The response is always awesome, even if people aren’t necessarily buying product,” he said. “Every show has progressively got bet-ter in the sales and in the response.”

In some ways, the support for local artists

and artisans can be compared to shopping for local vegetables at the farmers’ market, or go-ing to see a local band perform.

“I think there’s so much that gets produced commercially all the time that people don’t have a connection to handmade objects any-more,” said Canning. “People get really ex-cited when something is handmade and they get to meet you, when they meet the person that made it.”

Regina’s upstart craft marketers agree. “It’s that sense of community. I think that

knowing your local crafters, knowing your lo-cal artisans, knowing that the money is stay-ing local too. That’s a bigger movement than just the crafting,” said Ozog. “You would feel good supporting and buying CDs from local Saskatchewan bands, or buying produce from farms that are nearby.”

Each week QC gathers advice from parents to share with other moms and dads. This week we asked:

What skills have you mastered through parenthood?

next week: How do you and your kids make forts? What materials do you use? Email [email protected]

“I have determined that as a mother I best consider myself a jack of all trades, master of none. They keep me on my toes each and every day. Just as soon as you think you have them figured out, they throw you for a loop. As parents, we keep learning and changing right along with them.” — Terri Leniuk

“The art of cooking, cleaning, feeding, changing, crafting, removing little handprints off windows/mirrors, applying and removing Band-Aids without meltdowns, storytelling, smiling even when I feel too tired to breathe and snuggling all at once. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” — Alysia Czmuchalek

“Motherhood has taught me many things. It has given me the skills to be flexible while at the same time being a master planner. I have learned that no matter how much I plan and prepare for things, they never turn out quite how I expect and often this is for the better. I have mastered the skill of mediating ... trying to get two three-year-old boys to agree on an activity or to simply get along takes some serious skills some days! Motherhood has given me the skills to see the positive in even the most difficult or trying situations. The best skill of all that I’ve mastered is advocacy; I have learned to

be the voice that my special needs child needs me to be without making any apologies.” — Michelle Grodecki

“I have multi-tasking mastered for sure. I also think that I’m pretty good at being patient … better than my husband anyways!” — Chera Miller

“I am now good at being an extremely light sleeper — I can hear a pin drop. I can multi-task a lot better, listen to numerous conversations at once and am learning great negotiating skills.” — Nikki Melnyk

“I would say patience, but there are many times when that skill is challenged and fails miserably. I could say listening, but a lot of times the ears just pretend to hear. Understanding? I try, but sometimes I just don’t get it. Loving my children unconditionally, no matter what, that’s easy.” — Carla Contreras

“I have pretty much mastered knowing what type of injury/problem I will be faced with just by hear-ing her cry. Motherhood has also taught me to turn to God daily for strength and wisdom in this rewarding, but challenging, blessing of having three daughters.” — Angela Wells

By Ashley Martin

Growing up, Tyler Bogdan always wanted a pet to cuddle and care for. Because of his allergies to hair, though, he was restricted to fish and an iguana.

“I’ve always wanted a cat but I was always allergic,” said Bogdan. Then he and his boyfriend Conner Nix, a veterinary technician, looked into getting a Sphynx cat, a purebred hairless breed.

They got their cat Tickles in May from a breeder in Kelowna, B.C., and he has been almost perfect for Bog-dan. “I still get a little bit allergic but it’s not so bad. (Maybe once a week) I have to take an allergy pill.”

That’s because you can be allergic to hair or dander, and all animals have dander, explained Nix.

Q: What was it like dealing with the breeder?A: BogdAn: The cat got pregnant and (the breeder) would update us with ultrasounds. She’s got a waiting list. She’s got to have the kittens sold before they’re even impregnated.

It was very important to find something reputable ... The genetic line isn’t very big with a Sphynx so you don’t want inbreeding and stuff because then they get sick. nix: Because I’ve seen some not-so-good breeders, I knew that if we were going to do it and spend the money I wanted to do it properly, but also more importantly I wanted to do it ethically for his breed. There’s no sense in breeding animals that have genetic problems, who aren’t healthy.

Q: How much did Tickles cost?A: BogdAn: He cost $1,200. If any-thing expensive happens (illness), we have him insured.

Q: How did you bring him home?A: nix: I flew out there to pick him up. I just decided it would be less stressful for him (than being) stuffed in cargo somewhere.

Q: How did you name him?A: nix: Because I’m a vet tech I’ve heard every name, so I wanted it to be something unique but also kind of funny in a way. Tickles, he’s not real-ly ticklish and cuddly, he’s bony. BogdAn: He also kind of looks like an armpit I guess. ... You want to name him Fluffy or something be-cause it’s ironic.

Q: How does Tickles compare to a regular cat?A: nix: He’s kind of like cuddling with a bag of sticks. He’s poky and elbowy. BogdAn: He has a heat disc, it’s just a microwaveable disc and it stays warm for 10, 12 hours. We just got it because he’s cold all the time. We put it under a blanket and he sits on it all day.nix: He needs baths (every few weeks).

If you always pick up your cat they can get oils and stuff in their hair but they clean it out. He’s getting filthy hands directly on him so he gets greasy. BogdAn: He doesn’t like (baths) that much but he doesn’t complain too much; he’ll meow but he doesn’t try to escape.nix: We have to be really careful in the summertime where he’s laying, the window and stuff — because he can get sunburned pretty bad.

Q: How does he behave?A: nix: He’s really, really outgoing. BogdAn: It is a Sphynx thing. They’re supposed to have a nicer demeanour and be friendly ... When people come over he comes and sits on their lap right away.

He’s not scared of anything. I’ve heard him hiss once — because I walked to the kitchen with my coat

on and the lights were off and he got scared for some reason.

Q: Do you have a funny Tickles story?A: BogdAn: I was baking one time and I left a bag of shredded coconut on top of the fridge and we came home a few hours later and he had eaten almost the whole bag of shred-ded coconut. (Nix) had to look it up in his books whether that was poi-sonous or not. You just don’t know off the top of your head.

Q: How do people react to him?A: nix: I had him at work yester-day and ... the clients’ reaction out front who’d never seen him was like, ‘Oh that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen,’ or, ‘What is that?’ It’s kind of either or. I think people think he’s adorable or they’re kind of like, ‘That’s gross.’

Dog days of winter

By Andrew Matte

Jamie Mason graduates from the University of Regina this spring. And she has the natural surround-ings of the university’s campus to thank, at least in part, for providing a place for her to relax and unwind from her studies.

Mason, 23, discovered her favou-rite place some years ago while out walking with a friend. Her favourite spot is actually a part of Wascana Centre, but one of the more quiet areas where she enjoys an out-of-the-way walking path and secluded park bench.

Q: What is your favourite place?A: I love the Wascana area that is around the U of R.

Q: How do you get there?A: If you walk away from the U of R toward Wascana Lake, there is a lit-tle inroad area where people walk, ride their bike and jog. It’s just off to the side. If you were at the Classroom Building and you walked across the field toward Wascana Park, you’d get to a walkway. And that walkway takes you to a park bench. And you notice that it is sort of tucked into the trees.

Q: Can you get to it from the rest of the park?A: If you are walking around the whole lake on the sidewalk, you will get to it. It’s not close to the main area near the Legislative Build-ing. It’s off to the side off Wascana Drive.

Q: How did you discover this area?A: I was walking through the field one day with one of my friends. I can’t remember what we were do-ing. We were going to find a tree to climb.

Q: Do you go there a lot?A: I used to visit it all of the time

because it is very close to the U of R. It’s really nice, especially in the summer. There is this one park bench that is inset into the trees a little bit so you can sit there by your-self and be secluded and watch the ducks. It’s pretty cool.

Q: Do you visit in the winter?A: In the winter time, you can still walk down the path. But I don’t go

there in the winter as much as I do in the summer.

Q: What do you like about it so much?A: It’s not as busy as the rest of the park. You can have your own little experience as you walk around the area. I like busy and I like not busy. So if I feel that, for a certain period of time that I want to be somewhere

that’s not busy, I like going over there and having my own thoughts and thinking about whatever hap-pens to be on my mind. That way, I know that I am not going to be both-ered.

Q: Do you visit the rest of the park?A: If I want to go out with my friends or something or if I want to be around a bunch of people, I will go

to one of the other places.

Q: Do you ever visit the park bench to study?A: I don’t like to look at paper when I am outside. It’s too white and there is too much glare. I usually just sit there and think. Sometimes I will lie on the grass and stare at the clouds.

Student seeks solace in park’s quiet nook


CITY NEWS

By Andrew Matte

It was tricky to find a table lamp with an unblemished shade. And most customers barely noticed the knee-high piles of little hair dryers and coffee makers.

But there were plenty of dia-monds in the rough at a public sale at a downtown Regina hotel needing to dispose of hundreds of stained pillows, ironing boards and onion-soup bowls in advance of its ambi-tious renovation. Work is underway at the 45-year-old Regina Inn where Silverbirch Hotels and Resorts will transform the building at the corner of Broad Street and Victoria Avenue into an upscale Doubletree Hotel by Hilton. It will cost $30-million to gut and refurnish all 235 rooms, as well as renovate the rest of the hotel be-fore its reopening this fall in time for the Grey Cup.

One of the first tasks is to get rid of most of the hotel items. That in-cludes every item from every guest room, as well as huge amounts of restaurant and banquet supplies.

With mattresses and chairs stacked like cordwood in second-storey banquet rooms, the public began snapping up everything from bedside tables to art — everything that guests have used, slept on or otherwise enjoyed for the past sev-eral years.

McDougall Auctions, the firm hired to administer the sale, is offer-ing most of the restaurant equipment online; it’s believed restaurants and small hotels will be the biggest buy-ers of items like industrial toasters, glassware and cutlery that number in the thousands.

“Can you see this? This mattress has a weird splotch on it,” said Alyce Cummings, who came looking for a new bed for her cottage. “Some of it is sort of icky. But if I can find a good one, I’ll buy it. Some of these mattresses are a very good quality.”

Queen mattress sets sold for $300 and king sets went for $400, prices low enough to sell out in just a few days.

Brian Carey was among those who arrived too late. He came looking for a pillow-top mattress for his motor-home but was turned away. “I can’t believe how fast this stuff is selling — I’d better head home now before I find something else to buy,” he said.

Small business owner Amber Thomas spent $37 on a pair of bat-tered but sturdy commercial cloth-ing racks she plans to use to hang linens. She also bought three col-lapsible suitcase stands she’ll use in her spare bedrooms.

“I sort of like that they’re nicked up and have the odd scratch. They look better like that,” she said.

Dwayne Bender of McDougall

Auctions said many customers are landlords or even owners of other hotels looking for a bargain.

“There are a lot of motels or small town hotels that are adding to what they have or they’re upgrading,” he said.

Bender said he and his staff were stunned by the number of customers and interest in the used chairs, desks and hundreds of other used items.

“The other day, I had to close the doors early just so we could do in-ventory,” said Bender, adding that the sale’s success is evidence of the booming Saskatchewan economy. “This sale is doing way better than what we imagined. Had we done this five years ago, I’d be sitting here with most of the stuff still here.”

Bender said he has heard the oc-casional customer with hygiene concerns about buying mattresses

and linens used by hundreds of ho-tel guests, but most don’t see it as an issue.

“We get the odd comedian who has something smart to say. And that’s fine. But for the most part, people understand that this is used mer-chandise. And everyone has stayed in a hotel room. So people are OK with it.”

Bender knows that everything

might not sell, such as the old-style tube televisions or stack of hot pink cloth napkins. But then again, there are surprises.

“The coffee makers aren’t hot sell-ers. But then someone will come in and buy eight of them. So you never know.”

The sale and online auctions run until Thursday, Jan. 24. Visit www.mcdougallauction.com for details.

Used mattresses were a hot item at the Regina Inn sale.

For those in the market for used cutlery, the Regina Inn was the place to be. The downtown hotel was selling off just about everything inside the building at the corner of Broad Street and Victoria Avenue as it prepares for a massive renovation. Dwayne Bender of McDougall Auctions (pictured) said he was stunned by how quickly the items sold. qc phoTos by Troy Fleece

FASHION Want to share your cold-weather style? Email us at [email protected]

By Ashley Martin

Fashion is wrapped up in friendship for Lisa Fiorante. The Grade 6/7 teacher at Davin School looks forward to annual “girls trips” to cit-ies like Las Vegas or Edmonton to bond with her friends during “crazy 10-hour days of just shopping, shopping, shop-ping.” On a smaller scale, the women get together once a month for splurge parties where everyone throws $30 into the pot. The winner must use the money to stylishly spoil herself. “We like shopping and we like giving each other tips, what looks good togeth-er,” said Fiorante. One of her girlfriends once told her to mix fabric textures and she’s been putting that advice into practice ever since. She’s also passed it onto others. Aside from advice, Fiorante is big on giving compliments: “It so brightens up their day and how they feel ... I think especially as women, we have to do that for one another, boost each other’s confidence.” Fiorante tends to an edgy/girly style, which is amplified by her shoe collection: “Shoes make such a huge impact on the look of that outfit. It dresses it down, it dresses it up, it can give it an edge,” said the mother of two. She estimates she has a couple hundred pairs of shoes and gravitates to heels. At 5-foot-4, “I need to wear stilettos so I can be a little bit taller than my students.”

By Jeanette Stewart

Reginald Jean Sankey is a local designer whose work is quite often marked by the absence of colour.

Always dressed head to toe in black, Sankey cuts a striking figure.

“I’ve been wearing black for as long as I remember. I’m actually kind of afraid of colour.”

Sankey shares a favourite quote from Japanese designer Yohji Yamo-moto to explain the esthetic: “Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy — but mysterious. But above all black says this: “I don’t bother you — don’t bother me”.”

Sankey has designed profes-sionally under the label Reginald Sankey Designs for the past seven years, and the original clothing can be found at Alchemy Clothing and Salon in Saskatoon. Custom designs are also available.

Inspiration is something that never stops for someone who made his first garment at the age of 11.

“I just start going. It’s basically art. It comes from within and you just keep going.”

HAIR: Extensions. “I cut and colour my own hair.”

CAPE: Reginald Sankey Designs. “I’m obsessed with capes.”

FUR PELT: Gift.

TOP: Reginald Sankey Designs. “This I just made for myself.”

PURSE: Gucci, Value Village.

PANTS: Zellers.

BOOTS: Value Village. “Maybe 70 per cent of the stuff I make, the rest I just thrift shop. I never really buy anything brand new.”

By Jenn Sharp

Darrell Bell has run galleries for 29 years and during that time he’s learned what works and what doesn’t. The man with a tradi-tion for abstract expressionism in his gallery currently represents a spectrum of about 40 different artists. They range from nationally-recognized Saskatchewan artist Joe Fafard, to Regina artist David Thau-berger (who was recently named a Member of the Order of Canada).

A gallery’s artwork isn’t just what you see on the walls. A gallery needs both ample storage and wall space to properly display art and keep oth-er pieces in storage for upcoming exhibits. One of the challenges Bell faced was incorporating functional-ity into his new gallery while utilizing the wall space to best display the art. Everything is hidden away into unique storage rooms so when the doors are shut, they double as walls for the gallery. There’s even a hidden coat closet, which backs onto a little kitchen — Bell likes to throw a decent art party or two.

WHAT?: Lifestyles by Darrell Bell Gallery is a modern gift shop featuring unique pieces from many Saskatchewan crafters, located at 103 — 105 21st St. E, in the heart of Saskatoon’s downtown. Bell’s new gallery space is on the fourth floor of the historic Canada Building, directly above the gift shop. Large, north facing windows are ideal for the gallery space as they provide indirect, bright light all day.

WHO?: Owner Darrell Bell and inte-rior designer Aandra Currie-Shearer designed the two spaces.

WHEN? After the May purchase, the design and renovation work be-gan. They moved in mid-December from a former location on Third Avenue. The grand opening was Jan. 13.

WHY? “I thought it was time to make a change and move down-town. We wanted to open a gift shop but in the same building as the gallery. Where we were, we couldn’t find a spot. Ecco Shoes moved out here and it’s the perfect retail location, so we saw the op-portunity of moving the gallery upstairs. It’s time to reinvent and do something different.

“We decided to put a glass wall in (for the office). We also wanted to finish it differently so we put the walnut on one side and wanted a jewel colour — something that would be subtle and feel a little bit ‘old-boys, old office’ but in a con-temporary way.”

HOW?: “(The gallery is) quite different. It came about because of what the limitations were when we moved in. We had some pillars which are throughout the space. I think there’s a 20-foot section and then a pillar, then a 20-foot section, then a pillar. We wanted wall space because we’re a gallery and we needed storage space as well. How can we utilize this (space) and have it function for us? We have four sections — an office and a store room, a kitchen/reception and a gallery, two gallery spaces with an entry, and two more gallery spaces.

“We wanted a gift shop that’s much more contemporary and that brings the gallery tradition — like displaying jewelry in picture frames, but very modern and with great lighting. We also wanted a feature room, which we could use for a trunk show or whatever we need. There’s so much going on and I know I was often looking for gifts. I found it hard to find unique things. Everything (in the gift shop) tends to be handmade or designed. A third of the product is from Sas-katchewan. We tried to find some younger artists — the younger ones are looking for opportunity (and aren’t as established).”

Sixty years ago if I wanted to drink decent wine, I had to live somewhere else. Now I can live in a particularly lonely part of the Great White North, but still have a choice of hun-dreds of wines from everywhere in the world at every price point. Thank you globalization!

Allow me to direct your attention to the French aisle, in particular to a wine called Marius White. This is an inexpensive wine from Charpoutier, one of the venerated names of French vintners. They produce the famous Hermitage among others, and if the UN ever starts a World Heritage wine list this wine will be among the first elected.

In any event, Marius is a wine from the Pays D’Oc, the French side of Catalonia. The wines of this area have long been ridiculed as ‘peas-ant wines.’ This was undoubtedly true in an era when the farmers only accessed peasant technology. However, a modern vinification technique is now available to every grape (how-ever humble) and the results can be startling.

I’ve long been a fan of Vermentino, the white wine of Tuscany. Marius is a blend of Terret, a grape used traditionally for vermouth, and Vermentino. The result is a dry, fruity mouth-ful with a pleasantly herbal astringent finish. If you like Sauvignon Blanc you need to try

Marius. It’s different, not quite as brisk as Sau-vignon Blanc, but absolutely fabulous.

There are very few wines as well suited to sal-ads and seafood as this one. I have designated it the official wine of clam linguine. I am sure it also makes a great accompaniment to Manhat-tan clam chowder and oysters, and the list goes on — so many meals, so little time.

Marius White, France, 2010. $15.99 ****

Close Talker has gained a lot by be-ing apart.

While most people were resting and enjoying some time off in De-cember, the Saskatoon band was busy creating a debut record and playing holiday shows — putting to-gether a couple packed parties sea-sonal revellers enjoyed thoroughly.

The burst of hard work was nec-essary. Two of the musicians go to school on the west coast during the year, so their brief time together in December marked the first time they were together since the fall.

The group was forced to use the time to lay down their debut record-ing in a week, producing an eight-song studio album called Timbers.

“Because there was such a short time frame there was a sense of urgency,” said Matthew Kopperud, the outspoken guitarist, keyboard player and vocalist.

The group met for an interview at Avenue Recording Studio above Amigos, lounging together on the couch in a manner that conveyed their sense of comfort and ease with one another.

There is a special dynamic be-tween the members of the group. It’s clear they’re not afraid to tell one another the truth. Most spent time as friends before creating the group, which also includes lead vo-calist Will Quiring, drummer Chris Morien and bass player Jeremy Ol-son.

“Are you a diva?” I ask Kopperud when he commandeers the inter-view momentarily. The rest of the band cheers and laughs.

Close Talker formed last summer, and though they’ve spent almost as much time apart as together, it’s hard to tell.

The group puts on a live show that pops with energy. The new re-cord deftly captures their distinct use of harmony that hints at fellow bro rockers like Yukon Blonde or Half Moon Run.

From the few tracks they played

during the interview, the new al-bum will sound great.

“Because we were so intense about it, it made this a lot easier to do,” said Quiring, explaining how the songs unfolded during their time apart. “I’m super pumped that we waited this long to record.”

“They breathe like a fine wine,” said Kopperud.

The musicians harness electron-ic elements like programmed beats and synthesizers combined with traditional rock band instrumen-tals. Add to that crackling technical proficiency, inventive percussion

and an incredible sense of harmony and you have a potent musical syn-thesis that could insure the group becomes one of those perfect sum-mer bands — the kind that makes you kick your shoes off and dance at an outdoor festival, hands in the air.

The group intends to tour during the summer months, hoping for the best for their new record.

“We’d love to go platinum,” dead-pans Kopperud. Close Talker will reunite in February for their CD release party Feb. 20 at Vangelis in Saskatoon.

Members of the band Close Talker get comfy at the Avenue Recording Studio after completing the tracks to their new album. qc phoTo By mIchelle BerG

LocaL aUTHoRS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth readingRead my book

Who knew that the story of Canada’s Confed-eration was so interesting? I certainly didn’t.

It all started one hot and sleepy July day when I was teaching my English class and we watched a video celebrating Canada’s 125th birthday. There was a drawing of Wil-liam Pope rowing this small oyster boat out to the Queen Victoria in the Charlottetown harbour to meet the Fathers of Confedera-tion. The first circus in 20 years was in Char-lottetown and everyone else had gone to the circus. There were no carriages left for the Fathers — and no rooms in any of the hotels. The circus-goers, who had come from across the Island and over from New Brunswick, had booked everything. I was fascinated and started researching — the circus, the Civil war, farming, politics, politicians — every-thing.

At the same time hundreds of P.E.I. farm-ers joined the Tenant League to fight against paying rent to P.E.I.’s Absentee Landlords. Eventually troops had to be brought in. Alex and Reggie, two Island brothers, get caught up with the circus and the Tenant’s League.

The novel To the Edge of the Sea just won a Saskatchewan Book Award. The jury said: “a debut novel that is lyrical and precise in its descriptions of land, sea and people, and powerful in its accounts of both personal and political histories of the province and country.”

You can buy my book at Chapters, McNally Robinson, Amazon.ca, and many indepen-dent bookstores.

By Jenn Sharp

Thousands of farmers, herders, cheese makers, fishers, food produc-ers and chefs from around the world joined in Turin, Italy in October for the gastronomy event of the year.

Three people represented Sas-katchewan at the 2012 Terra Madre. The delegate for Saskatchewan’s only Slow Food convivia, Bryn Raw-lyk and his wife Beth, along with Sharon McDaniel, a cheese maker and the proprietor of Herschel Hills (an artisan cheese house specializ-ing in goat and cow’s milk cheese) made the journey to Italy.

Terra Madre is a network of food communities that are each commit-ted to producing quality food in a responsible, sustainable way. Rep-resentatives from 150 countries at-tended Terra Madre. Their common desire: “To defend local products from globalized standardization and to promote a production model that respects people and the fertility of the land.”

Terra Madre joined with Salone del Gusto this year, another annual gastronomy event that aims to pre-serve centuries-old food traditions and support the slow food move-ment. Terra Madre is a deliberately international event. Presenters speak in their native languages and participants don headsets that relay simultaneous translation. Admis-sion costs go toward supporting the objectives of Slow Food, which is to promote good, clean and fair food. Slow Food International was found-ed in Italy in 1986 and now has more than 100,000 members in 150 coun-tries, including eight in Canada.

For McDaniel, attending Terra Madre was an opportunity to learn about cheese making and gain new inspiration for her business.

“There were all kinds of cheese and I was most interested in all the different ways they aged and dis-played their cheese,” she says. “I learned about some important milk-ing parlour improvements that have

helped to deliver a safe raw milk supply.”

She was fortunate enough to be invited to return to Italy to learn how to make sheep milk cheeses. Connecting with other like-minded people was also a highlight.

“I had many opportunities to speak with local cheese makers and other artisans about the many ben-efits of eating locally.”

McDaniels and Rawlyk have both been interested in food security and the slow food movement for quite some time.

Rawlyk grew up on his fam-ily’s farm south of Saskatoon. His childhood diet consisted of food that fewer and fewer children can say they’ve tasted: Fresh garden produce, eggs and meat from farm chickens, along with fresh honey

from the family’s bees.A baker and home chef, he now

lives in Saskatoon and does his best to find locally produced food for his own young family.

“Many of our neighbourhoods are like food deserts with no close-by grocery stores or markets … I found that in spite of our region’s abun-dant raw food production, it can be a struggle for individuals in our city

to have easy access to that food,” he states in his Slow Food profile.

Terra Madre was an amazing op-portunity for Rawlyk to learn from others in the global Slow Food com-munity. His goal is to help connect urban people with local food produc-ers.

For more information about Can-ada’s Slow Food movement go to: www.slowfood.ca.
