“Growing up I was always artsy in a sense. I suppose I am not anymore because I haven’t done it in a long time. That was something that appealed to me. Obviously that didn’t go over. And now I am here and I don’t regret it at all.”

Golding said owning a store has been a goal he has been focusing on since he first learned of the opportunity of franchising a few years ago. His interest progressed to discussions and eventually to closing the deal.

Dino Naccarato, vice-president market franchise, Ontario operations, Loblaw Companies Limited, explained the process of selecting Golding.

“When looking for a new franchisee, we will post the position and hire the best candidate. We look for strong leaders in employee relations, customer satisfaction and community involvement,” Naccarato said in an email. “Brandon is passionate about customer service and committed to offering his customers the best possible shopping experience.”

With recent renovations, the store has added many added features such as a fullservice bakery and deli, and in-store cut and prepared meat and seafood.

“It is really exciting being part of the process for the last couple of months and seeing how much the store is really taking shape,” Golding said. “It’s pretty much a brand-new store. If you were to come in when it was an Extra Foods and come in now, you’d think we pretty much tore the store down and started fresh. There is not a whole lot of stuff that stayed the same.”

He said there will be “a lot more customer service, a lot more offers we can provide to the community.”

There will be new products as well.

“There are some fantastic things in our deli. From our chefs, we have a lot of home-meal replacement things. We have a juicer program coming in. It’s a fantastic thing. Not many businesses have this right now. It’s fresh-made juice in store every day. It’s really fantastic stuff. I’ve had a chance to try a lot of that.”

New book pays tribute to forestry farm’s 100 years

had to go to the bank to figure out how much money he needed. The money was put in envelopes and handed out. Many could not sign their names, but put an X in the signature column.”

Williams worked her way through the pictures in the Kerr collection, found in a box upstairs in the residence. There’s one of Les and his brother Harold in Woodroffe, Ont., where they first lived. There’s another of Kerr’s marriage to Blanche Luke, whom he met at Rosthern. There are graphic shots of the winter conditions, another from a hunting trip, many of the spectacles within the park, and one from the 1960s when he ice-fished at Emma Lake.

Kerr’s love of the outdoors was best emphasized by a passage he wrote in 1944.

“It will be our soils, forests and waters which will pay back our national debts.

No manipulation by our good friends the bankers, bondsmen and brokers or lawyers can do this. Our trees hold the key to much pleasure, comfort and prosperity.”

The book contains pictures of some surprise visitors. Sir Henry Rider Haggard, author of King’s Solomon’s Mines, visited in 1914 and 1916. Before he became prime minister of Great Britain, Neville Chamberlain was part of visiting parliamentarians in 1921. Lord Byng, the 12th governor general of Canada, and his family visited in 1926.

No one, not even William Charles Sutherland, could have imagined what his initial sale would become. The current site was part of the Sutherland farm, purchased in the spring of 1912 for $30,000.

At the time it was in stubble.

There is a storied past to the grounds — an English landscape, the tree nursery and the role and value of shelter belts, a reflection of Prairie life, the place where farm boys and girls gathered by the hundreds for summer camps, and the scene of many summer picnics for companies such as Intercontinental Packers, Eaton’s and Modern Press, and for many community groups.

The notable change in history occurred on April 6, 1966, when 140 acres were acquired from the federal government by the City of Saskatoon, a move that began a change in traffic. It was the beginning of what became today’s zoo. There was a new growth in momentum, gathering the volunteer sources from organizations such as the Friends of the Forestry Farm House, the Saskatchewan Perennial Society, the Saskatoon Zoo Foundation and the Saskatoon Zoo Society. Beautiful photographs of plants and flowers, from past and present, tell a story in themselves.

For Williams, the book was a bit of a departure from many she had written about horticulture. Nevertheless, it was a labour of love. Fascinated by gardening ever since growing her first one in Tanzania in the 1960s as a volunteer Peace Corps member, she has written a handful of books on her own, co-authored others, written newspaper articles and conducted workshops.

The book is available for $20 from the PAW’s Inn at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park & Zoo, McNally Robinson and the University of Saskatchewan bookstore.

I want people to have fun at my funeral

I

mentioned in an earlier column how our small community lost many members this past year. I am not supposed to count, though. It’s one of our superstitions.

“Otherwise you’ll be next” is what we were always told.

My home reserve’s overall population is fewer than 3,000. Fewer than half of those live on the actual First Nation. Any loss of life is a big loss, but when we started talking about a double-digit number of deaths, it’s devastating. About the only good news Columnist is the people we lost died of natural causes or in accidents. None were a result of violence or suicide, like I remember happening often when I was young.

As is the case in most communities, a funeral service can be approached differently. This, however, is more obvious in a First Nations community. Some funerals have a Christian approach, some have an Aboriginal approach and some are a mixture of the two.

There are also those who refuse to hold the service in a church.

They prefer their funeral in the community hall.

Generally it’s the elders who request their funeral service not be in a church. The reason is elders spent most of their youth in a Christian-based residential school and don’t want it to be part of their funeral.

We have a beautiful Catholic church on my reserve. It’s one of those classic small churches with the steeple bigger than the actual church.

My late grandmother attended church every Sunday and on special holidays. Often she would take me along. We didn’t live very far from the church. My kookum and I would walk on the old gravel road. As we got closer to the church, we could hear the church bells. It was always exciting to hear the bells, but nothing as thrilling as when I was asked to pull the rope to sound the bells.

The old church is still there and people still walk to service. But the old bell doesn’t ring. The steeple was getting so old people Directo thought if the bell sounded the steeple might fall over.

Another belief is the gate to the cemetery should always be Directo closed.

Directo “Because it’s an invitation,” we were told.

When I pass away, I’ll have the gate left open. Just to freak people out — if that isn’t enough — I will have an open bar and a live rock band. And, if that isn’t enough, I will make sure there is a $20 cover charge, just to find out how much people really cared.

Just like I put the fun in dysfunctional lifestyle when I was alive, I want to put the fun in funeral.

(Continued from page 1) e said he developed a favourite in his travels to other stores.

“I have eaten at the other independents pretty much every day. My personal favourite is cauliflower and cheese. I think I have that at least twice a day,” he said with a laugh.

Golding said there are more healthy choices and local products.

“There is a lot of kale being introduced; that is a big thing our customers are asking for now. (There are) a lot more locally sourced produce and local products. We have been working with a lot of vendors over the past couple of weeks to get a lot of products in the store that customers will recognize, but maybe not look to us right off the hop for that stuff.

A big part of the independent name is having a lot of locally sourced stuff.”

He said the store will carry President’s Choice (PC) products, including a new line.

“We are introducing the PC black-label line as well, which is for people to help with their inner foodie. It’s a gourmet line. It’s a lot of new stuff – different kinds of products for people who like to test things out.”

Golding likes the store’s location and the development of neighbourhoods around it.

“It is an up-and-coming area, with a lot of development. If seems every time I drive home, there is a new house coming up. I’m really excited to get into the community and be a bigger part of the community. We’ve been here for quite a few years now, but I think giving it a brand new look, we are going to get a lot more involved in that.”

The Extra Foods store on Kenderdine Road will officially become Andrey’s Your Independent Grocer on Aug. 29.

Do you have a recipe for homemade air fresheners? — Ruth Dear Ruth, Here is a simple air freshener you can make yourself. In a spray bottle, mix half cup rubbing alcohol, one cup water and 10 drops lemon essential oil. Spray room as needed. You can even add a few drops of this recipe to your vacuum bag.

side. It is home to close to a million people and has five bridges.

Saskatoon and area is home to roughly 250,000 folks and, with the reconstruction of the Traffic Bridge and construction of a north commuter bridge, will have eight bridges. What’s wrong with this picture?

Ironically, Prince Albert, the gateway to northern Saskatchewan and all its natural resources, has one bridge.

Worse yet was consummate politician (and rumoured to be future mayoralty candidate) Coun. Charlie Clark playing both ends against the middle, suggesting to the pedestrian/cyclist groups that there is a possibility of a future council closing a $30-million full-service bridge to vehicle traffic. Yet he is an MVA board member

and the board voted unanimously to support the City’s position of a full-service bridge. This is not stellar leadership.

The Traffic Bridge, an icon of our history, is now derelict and has become an eyesore in Saskatoon. Four years ago I might have tied myself to the tresses of the Traffic Bridge to save it. Today I’m not too sure that the bridge is worth reconstructing and suspect further decay has occurred and the cost will be much higher than anticipated. What I am sure of is that $30 million is too much money to spend on a quaint pedestrian/cyclist bridge.

As painful as it may be, sometimes you just have to say goodbye to the past and hello to the future. ehnatyshyn@shaw.ca

Number of passengers at airport soars Question: The Saskatoon Airport Authority released the July passenger numbers last week. What are your thoughts on them?

Mayor Atchison: The numbers are staggering. July was the third-busiest month in the history of the airport — 129,138 passengers in and out of the international airport.

January and February are the only other months so far this Ask the year in which more passengers went through the airport. Keep in mind that January and February are when the sun tour charters are on. Cross-border traffic was up 30 per cent over July 2013.

And the passenger numbers for the year so far are up 7.2 per cent. Last year there were more than 1.3 million people flying in and out of the airport.

Question: Why is that?

Mayor Atchison: We have a strong economy here; it’s healthy, it’s vibrant.

People are taking vacation trips and business trips. As a matter of fact, this past week I had two people tell me that they couldn’t get a flight from Toronto to Saskatoon. They had to fly to Regina and drive into Saskatoon. We definitely need more flights. We need more domestic flights, we need more trans-border flights and we definitely need international flights to Europe. We are the mining capital of the world. They have offices here and across the world. We have companies here that do scientific research. It only makes sense to have flights to Europe. I admit you have to walk before you run when it comes to Europe, but there should be flights at least three or four times a week.

Question: Are you pleased with the Meewasin Valley Authority’s decision to approve the plans for the new Traf-

fic Bridge and the Parkway Bridge?

Mayor Atchison: I think the authority made a good decision.

The cyclists’ own survey showed 48 per cent of the people’s first choice is a bridge for cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles. And 14 per cent said a motorized bridge was their second choice. Add the two together and that’s 62 per cent. On the other hand, 30 per cent said a Mayor bridge for cyclists and pedestrians only was their first choice. And 11 per cent said a non-motorized bridge was their second choice. That’s 41 per cent. So a majority of those polled felt a bridge inclusive of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists was the right choice. We will build a bridge that is inclusive for everyone. Another interesting point, I think, is that the poll was conducted during the summer. I wonder what the numbers would have been like if they had done the poll in December, January or February?

I think we should remind everyone again that this project has been approved by the federal government through PPP Canada.

They will contribute $66 million to the two-bridge project; that’s the Parkway and Traffic bridges, and both bridges are for vehicles. The province is partnering with us as well, adding another $50 million to the project. A recent study reports the Traffic Bridge will take no fewer than 10,000 vehicles a day and it could be as high as 20,000. It will take more vehicles than the bridge in Prince Albert. We have to think to the future. If we want a healthy and vibrant downtown with more people living and working there, we need to be able to move them in and out quickly. We want to make sure we have the least congestion possible all 12 months of the year.

After reading the ticket, we realized the City had decided to sweep the streets on July 1 and had placed signs up on the Saturday (June 28). Will you please comment on this?

Mayor Atchison: First of all, it is unfortunate that people get tickets. If I read this correctly, the towing company put their car on their own driveway for them so it wasn’t towed to the impound lot. So it didn’t cause them additional inconvenience and expense, which would have been very unfortunate. The other point is vehicles are only allowed to park on the street for 36 consecutive hours. After that, a person can certainly call in a complaint and cars will be ticketed. If this family left on the Friday and came back on the Tuesday that’s 72 hours at least that they were away.

the work done properly and efficiently for people. We are trying to get our streets swept as quickly as possible. The faster we can get down the streets, the more streets we can do.

Question: The City was around our area doing some pothole and road repair. The repair in question is on Clinkskill Drive, just south of Jarvis Drive.

The crew completed a repair on Jarvis and also the one on Clinkskill. They left a long piece that had been cut out. Why didn’t they fill the cut out at the same time the main pothole repair was done?

Mayor Atchison: It could be a utility cut on that street. The administration contracts out utility cut repairs differently than pothole repairs. It might be a different contractor. I know that sounds odd, but it’s the way it is working this season. I think that may be something we could look at in the future.

Entering the Drop Zone for a great cause

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express n Aug. 25, as thousands of Saskatoon residents trudge into work ready to face another week, a number of local heroes will be taking to the sky line.

Approximately 70 Saskatoon superheroes will step out of their comfort zones to make their descent down the side of the 22-storey Carlton Tower building in Saskatoon that morning in the Easter SealsTM Drop Zone.

“The fun, adrenaline, and adventure kick off at 8 a.m., with music and good cheer by Night Owl Entertainment, and runs straight through to 5 p.m.,” said Mona Loshack, special events planner for the Saskatchewan Abilities Coun-

O

cil. “There will be food trucks on site from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., so everyone is invited to come out to enjoy the festivities and food.”

The Easter SealsTM Drop Zone is held in 13 cities across Canada from August into October, giving people the opportunity to be a superhero for a day with the thrill of scaling down prominent sky scrapers across the country, while raising money for Easter Seals programs and services for people living with disabilities.

Saskatoon’s Drop Zone is a fundraiser for Easter SealsTM Saskatchewan, which supports Camp Easter Seal at Manitou Beach near Watrous. Camp Easter Seal is the only completely wheelchair-accessible camp facility in Saskatchewan, and is dedicated to providing a fun and barrier-

free experience, coupled with a lifetime of summer memories, to all campers.

Swimming and boating, horseback riding, sports activities, cook-outs and picnics, rustic camping and overnight tenting are just a few of the activities campers enjoy.

Funds raised in the Drop Zone are also directed towards the Saskatchewan Abilities Council’s Adaptive Technology Services, which is dedicated to applying electronics and computers to aid in communication and daily living for people with disabilities, as well as for the Saskatchewan Abilities Council’s Summer Fun program. Hundreds of individuals province-wide with varying levels of abilities benefit from these programs.

“Some participants raise their required $1,500 registration fee, which equals the

CP90208.H18 Chenise

cost to send one child with varying abilities to Camp Easter Seal, to honour their own family members who live with varying abilities,” said Loshack. “Others do it to support a good cause, and some just for the thrill of rappelling down the side of the 22-storey Boardwalk Rental Communities building located at 325 Fifth Ave. North.”

“A portion of Fifth Avenue will be closed between 25th Street East and 24th Street East to allow for more spectators,” said Loshack. “Bring your camera, a lawn chair and cheer on the superheroes.”

Skye Brandon Returns to Saskatoon for Shakespeare festival

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express here’s less than one week left of the annual Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival, and actor Skye Brandon is pleased with how the summer has gone.

“The crowds have been good. We’ve had a number of sellouts,” Brandon said.

“We’ve had a lot of people come up to us after the shows or stop us on the street.

It’s been nice, and any chance I get to work with Shakespeare makes me happy,” he added.

This year’s festival marked Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s 30th season, and Brandon was excited to be a part of it. After spending the past five seasons at the acclaimed Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ont., Brandon returned to Saskatoon to take on roles in two of Shakespeare’s best-known plays: Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew.

“We have been missing Saskatchewan summers,” Brandon said, referring to himself, his wife and their daughter.

“Part of the allure of doing this now is to be back during the summer.”

During the past couple of months, Brandon, who graduated from the University of Saskatchewan’s drama program in 2000, has been immersed in his work.

He played Hortensio in The Taming of the Shrew while simultaneously taking on two roles in Romeo and Juliet: Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin who fights Romeo, and Friar Laurence, Romeo’s confidante who helps form the escape plan for the two young lovers.

Since an older man typically plays JW11623.H18 the Friar Laurence James character, landing the

T

part was an interesting turn of events for 37-year-old Brandon.

“As long as he’s older than Romeo, as long as that dynamic is there, then it works,” he said.

“The thing that I had kind of hoped for was to play Tybalt, because I’d been in a production that I apprenticed on shortly after university in Calgary where an actor — who’s now a friend of mine — played Friar Laurence and Tybalt. I thought it was a really neat cross to have the same person play his closest confidante and also his foil.”

Another interesting aspect of coming back to Saskatoon was the opportunity to work with Will Brooks, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan’s new artistic producer.

Brooks, who directed this year’s production of Romeo and Juliet, had worked on previous productions with Brandon, so the two men were already familiar with each other’s style.

“We’ve acted together; he’s stage managed for me. We’ve been in shows together, but I’ve never been in a show that he’s directed until now,” said Brandon, noting working with Brooks went well.

“Familiarity kinds of creates a nice shorthand, right? So although we haven’t done a show together in a while, we’ve known each other for a long time.”

This summer wasn’t the first time Brandon worked with Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan — in fact, it’s not even the first time he acted in The Taming of the Shrew. In 2006, he starred as Lucentio in the play, and he was also a cast member during the 2008 season.

As a history buff and an actor, Brandon is a big fan of Shakespeare’s plays.

Skye Brandon has roles in both Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew (Photo Supplied) He likes the challenge the plays present, given that the centuries-old language can sound somewhat foreign to the modern ear.

The plots of the plays also appeal to Brandon.

“For me, it’s always been about the stories. The stakes are always so high for these characters. More often than not, it is literally life and death. To sort of tell these big, epic stories and to do them well, I think that’s what keeps me excited.”

Brandon predicts that the Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival will continue to thrive into the future, as there’s “some really great buzz” surrounding it.

The festival is in good financial shape,

AS70050.H18 Aaron

he said, and the appointment of Brooks as artistic producer, after the departure of Mark von Eschen, was exciting.

“Will’s been someone who has been a part of this community for a while. So I think it kind of gets the people who are here excited that someone from the community was asked to pick up the torch and carry on.”

Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan runs until Sunday, Aug. 24. Matinee performances are at 1 p.m., while evening performances are at 7:30 p.m. To purchase tickets, call the box office at 306-6529100 or call Ticketmaster at 306-9387800.

Celebrate Ukrainian culture in Victoria Park Ukrainian Day in the Park will be held Aug. 23 (Photo supplied)

A

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express

popular summer event is providing an opportunity for people to eat, drink and be merry — and learn more about Ukrainian culture and history while they’re having fun.

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Saskatoon Branch is presenting Ukrainian Day in the Park, which is in its 12th year.

This year, the festival is set to take place on Saturday, Aug. 23, in Victoria Park, west of the farmers’ market.

“I think people will find it a really celebratory and welcome place, and a great place to bring their kids,” said Danylo Puderak, chair of Ukrainian Day in the Park 2014.

“It’s something that our community — the Ukrainian community — feels is important to have the chance to share our culture, and also to provide our arts and cultural groups an opportunity to show their talents,” he added.

The event runs from noon to 8 p.m., and admission is free. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair to the park to take in the stage performances, cultural displays, children’s activities and souvenir vendors. There will also be a beer garden and food vendors, who will offer traditional Ukrainian dishes as well as farmers’ sausage and saskatoon berry crumble pie.

In terms of alcoholic beverages, there will be two different kinds of Ukrainian beer available, while LB Distillers will be

“The other thing we’re doing this year is a special tribute to the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine. It started off as EuroMaidan and continues on as a struggle for freedom. And so we’ll have a short tribute as part of the start of the stage show and then there will be a special display tent, which will provide people with some images and some additional information about what exactly has been happening in Ukraine,” said Puderak.

There will be other displays as well.

For example, the 200th anniversary of the birth of poet and artist Taras Shevchenko will be recognized.

This year also marks the “100th anniversary of Canada’s first national internment operation — the World War One internment of Ukrainians and others from central-eastern Europe,” said Puderak, so there will be information about that at the festival. In addition, there will be a display about the history of the Kozaks in Ukraine.

Puderak said the event is particularly important right now given the ongoing strife in Ukraine, “where Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom.”

“It’s something that helps to bring people out and show a bit of support — actually a lot of support, because usually we get 5,000 to 7,000 people coming through the festival,” he said.

There are many people of Ukrainian heritage living in Saskatoon and Saskatchewan. Puderak said the last census showed about 22,000 Ukrainians are living in the city, while about nearly 140,000 Ukrainians live throughout the province.

“It’s about 13 per cent of the provincial population, and we have a number of Ukrainians that are now immigrating through the immigrant nominee program and otherwise. It’s bringing a new vitality and diversity to our community.”

offering shots of honey-pepper vodka.

“One of the Ukrainian stores in the city will have some Ukrainian imported drinks and candies out there, so it’s a nice mix of treats for our guests to sample,” Puderak said.

The stage show is scheduled to run from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and will include performers from Saskatoon and from outside of the city. For example, Tavria Ukrainian Folk Dance Ensemble from Regina will be a part of the festival, as well as Regina-based singer Valeriia Honchar and Ukrainian traditional violinist Nadia Babchouk, who is from the Weyburn area.

Local performers include Yevshan UkraiFor more information about Ukrainian nian Folk Ballet Ensemble and Leleka Day in the Park 2014, find the event on Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, both from Facebook at www.facebook.com/UkrainiSaskatoon, among others. anDayInThePark.

I have met a few women and not one seems to care about her looks.

Dear 85, I am not sure where you are meeting these women, but I have heard this complaint on occasion in the past. I work with many women who take incredible care of themselves both physically and mentally.

It is so important that they keep up with current fashion, including hairstyles, clothing and eyeglasses. People tend to feel better about themselves when they put

askatoon Public Schools is proud to offer a variety of additional and new programming this fall.

Barry MacDougall, deputy director for SPS, says that in answer to the greatly increasing interest in French immersion in the city, new programs have been added.

Ecole Forest Grove School is entering into its second year of a kindergarten to Grade 4 program, and this fall, Ecole Alvin Buckwold School will expand to a kindergarten to Grade 5 program. As MacDougall explains, “we have people moving to Saskatoon from all over the world, and learning languages is second nature to them. We need to keep up with the demand for French programming. Last fall, we had 200 new students register for immersion.”

As well, SPS is expanding its International Baccalaureate and AcTal (Academically Talented) programs. Starting in fall 2015, Aden Bowman Collegiate will join Bedford Road Collegiate in offering the I.B. program, a “challenging and rigorous course, based on international standards, that offers students not only the core curriculum, but also adds a theory of knowledge course, as well as a community service aspect.” Similarly, the AcTal program is geared towards meeting the needs of talented and gifted students who wish to more deeply explore their academic passions in a congregated setting. In the past, the elementary program was offered only at Greystone Heights and Caswell schools, while Bedford Road Collegiate and Walter Murray Collegiate housed the high school programs. This fall, the elementary program will grow from around 240 students to almost 300 with the introduction of the program in Grades 5 and 6 (later to add Grades 7 and 8) at Silverspring School, and the high school program will grow from 200 to 225 with the addition of a Grade 9 program at Evan Hardy.

SPS is partnering with Cameco to

introduce a pre-engineering program at Bedford Road at the new Centre of Excellence in Science and Mathematics. The program will begin with a Pre-Engineering 10 class, and will grow to include the 20 and 30 level classes as well. Going forward, the program will also partner with local engineers as well as the University of Saskatchewan to further increase interest in math and science among Saskatoon students. This program has the benefit, MacDougall says, of having an amazing lab, which other classes in the school will be able to access as well, with “a wide variety of electronics, computer-assisted drafting, and a 3D printer. It allows for students to have a hands-on experience, which is what the students themselves tell us is the best way to learn.”

This fall will also see the introduction of the iGen program, a first of its kind program in Canada. iGen stands for “intergenerational classroom,” and it will “create exciting options for a group of 24 Grade 6 students to learn in a non-traditional setting.” These students will spend the majority of their school day learning at and engaging with the residents of the Sherbrooke Community Centre. MacDougall says that Sherbrooke “has always been innovative and engaging in how it does outreach, and this is an opportunity for students with a sense of service to learn in an authentic environment, working on various projects with the residents, accessing the knowledge of the various experts who work at Sherbrooke, and learning from the Elders there. Students will learn empathy and gain a different perspective and learn about different life experiences from people who have been around for a lot longer than they have.”

The program is the brainchild of teacher Keri Albert and is, MacDougall adds, “a great example of an idea coming from a teacher on how to educate students in a new way.”

At Saskatoon Public Schools, we are open to all.

Our goal is to see all children and youth discover, develop and act upon their potential.

reater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) is making sure it has space to continue providing a top-quality Catholic education to Saskatoon families as the city’s population booms.

The division is currently completing a $21-million renovation to Holy Cross High School, and is also undertaking multimillion-dollar renovations at three of its elementary schools. In addition to these projects, it has nearly completed construction of the new Holy Family School in Willowgrove.

“It’s important that we have the space to accommodate our growing enrolment,” said Diane Boyko, chair of the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Board of Education.

“We know that families and students are excited to see each of these projects completed.”

One of the most extensive renovations is occurring at Holy Cross High School, which opened in 1963. The first phase of the project, which is nearly complete, has seen construction of a new gymnasium and industrial arts centre,Aaron five new classrooms AS70058.H18

and a new main entrance and office. “Holy Cross has a student body of 1,150 students and we estimate that number will grow in the next few years, so we are preparing ourselves for that increase in enrolment,” said Greg Chatlain, GSCS director of education.

Students and staff will notice that the school is easier to get around in, with larger hallways and better flow between classrooms. “We want to bridge the gap between the original 1960s structure and the 1970s additions,” said Chatlain. “To do this, we have repositioned the main entrance and added a bigger student commons. There will also be better lighting and updates to the interior. The goal, in the end, is to have a facility that responds better to the teaching needs of today.”

Phase Two will add more space for the school’s performing arts program, which includes one of Saskatoon’s biggest high school band programs.

George Vanier Catholic Fine Arts School is also undergoing similar renovations and additions. “We are pleased that this building is now better suited to enrichment of the

Why not emissions-legal racing?

’m a speed lover and a fan of most forms of motorsports, but I’m also a friend of the environment. Or at least I’m trying.

Along those lines, I have a suggestion that will know doubt ruffle a few feathers, but it’s certainly worth throwing out there to bat around the pit lanes.

How about emissions-legal racing? In case you didn’t know, most forms of auto racing that burn fuel don’t restrict emissions (pollution), fuel consumption or promote any other type of conservation.

Take NASCAR for example, which just went to fuel injection over the last couple of years when road cars were switching in the 1970s and ‘80s. In that respect, racing hasn’t evolved like the rest of world with tougher emissions regulations, conservation and phrases such as the Greenhouse Effect in play. Auto racing, in some ways, is greatly out of step with the times.

Before the claws come out, hear me out on this one.

In forms of racing such as NASCAR, the rules are partly devised around equality: no major advantages from one team

to the next . . . by their very nature, that’s what rules do.

The differences in power from car to car are small, but you have to appreciate the drive that continually pushes the performance envelope, which, aside from winning, is what racing is really all about. The research and development that goes into finding a few extra horsepower is enormous and ultimately hugely expensive.

Some of that technology indeed finds its way back into our street cars, so there’s some benefit to the rest of us that exceeds the mere pleasure and exhilaration of competition. But, just think of the benefits if the race cars -- add Formula One and others to the mix, here -- were required to pass a minimum smog requirement and be fitted with catalytic converters to strip the exhaust gas of the some of the byproduct chemicals of the combustion process. For NASCAR that might actually mean adopting road-cartype production-style engines and I honestly fail to see a downside so long as the playing field is level: everyone plays by the same rules, just like engine displacement or final drive ratio. Emissions compliance would

just add another competitive dimension to racing and help justify it when the entire world is finally becoming more concerned about the environment.

Fuel rationing (or tightening fuel rationing) would be another interesting idea that would heat up the competition. If the average NASCAR racecar gets five mpg -- and that would be generous -- it would take 100 gallons to complete a 500-mile race, multiplied by 40-plus cars. That’s 4,000 gallons per race, times 40 or so races a year is 160,000 gallons for a full season, round numbers. And that’s just Sprint Cup and doesn’t include the lower division or any other feeder series. Now add openwheel racing and even powerboat racing.

So, rather than providing teams with all the gas they can use in the span of a race, how about supplying no more than perhaps 95 percent of what they currently use?

How about kicking it back five percent a year for a few years? Talk about competition. Suddenly, racing is directly working for the rest of us by trying to make the winning combination of power, economy and emissions performance.

By RHONDA WHEELER www.wheelbasemedia.com Racing purists might roll their eyes at the notion, but as long as competition isn’t affected, then why not? I’m certainly not suggesting that the tailpipe-emissions bar be set with today’s passenger cars, although the 707-horsepower V8 engine in the new Dodge Challenger Hellcat is emissions legal. It’s not much of a stretch to take that idea to the track, is it?

Taken one-step further, why not use high-performance production engines, at least in NASCAR, that meet current emissions regulations?

Certainly my suggestions aren’t perfect or polished but we obviously have the technology so why not use it? To me, that’s a winning attitude.

Page 18 - SASKATOONEXPRESS - August 18-24, 2014 More treats are in store between the front fenders. The base Golf runs with a turbocharged 1.8-litre four-cylinder that makes 170 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. It replaces the previous non-turbo Interior volume has increased, 2.5-litre five-cylinder which means the already-flexible that also pumped out seating/hatchback layout just gets 170 ponies, but had that much better. only 177 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, the lighter turbo-four helps the latest Golf weigh in at about 45 kilograms less than the outgoing version.

Die-hard turbo-diesel fans will be pleased that the returning Golf TDI’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder produces150 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque (a gain of 10 horsepower but the same torque rating from the previous TDI).

The base 1.8 can be ordered with a five-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed automatic, while the TDI shifts with a six-speed manual or extra-cost six-speed automated manual.

Fuel-consumption stats will likely improve for both models, but when released the numbers will appear somewhat worse since Natural Resources Canada is changing its testing procedures for 2015 vehicles to better reflect real-world driving conditions.

Moving up to the Golf GTI gets you an improved turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder that makes 210 horsepower (a gain of 10) and 258 pound-feet of torque. Transmission choices mirror those on the TDI: a six-speed manual; or optional six-speed automated manual.

The starting point is the Golf two- or four-door Trendline that starts at $20,400 (including destintion charges). It provides the basics as well as a touchscreen infotainment system along with a few other niceties.

Depending on the exact model, the mid-range Comfortline and top-end Highline pile on the content, including climate control, 16- and 17-inch wheels, respectively (15-inchers come with the Trendline), panoramic sunroof, Fender-brand premium sound package, navigation system, push-button start plus backup- and forward-collision warning systems.

Meanwhile the $29,400 GTI looks sharp with its unique 18-inch wheels, sport front seats, fog lamps, adaptive headlights (that pivot in the same direction as the car when turning) and ambient interior lighting.

Golfs sold in North America will no longer originate from Germany, but that move might keep prices low and content levels high. And varied. That’s how you get the just-the-right Golf.

ame your need and Volkswagen can likely serve up just the right Golf.

The seventh-generation of VW’s small hatchback really does have what it takes, whether that means carrying you great distances on a single tank of fuel, hauling your personal effects to university or on camping trips, or allowing you to zip through traffic on your way to work, Speed Racer-style.

In Europe, the latest Golf has been around since the 2013 model year, but now Canadians will get a crack at it later this summer when the cars arrive from VW’s factory in Mexico. The sportier GTI model has already landed here, while an all new Golf Sportwagon will follow in early 2015.

The latest Golf maintains a familiar look that began with the first Golfs, which replaced the original Beetle for 1975. Over the years, the sheet metal has become more stylish, of course, with the new model looking particularly handsome ahead of the front doors. It’s also cheats the wind a little better.

The Golf has also been stretched by about five centimetres overall — most of it between the front and rear wheels —with width increased by about 1.5 centimetres. The hatchback’s elongated appearance is more pronounced due to a 2.5-centimetre reduction in body height between the rocker panels and the roofline. Regardless, interior volume has increased, both for passengers and stowage.

A peek inside reveals an impressive cabin layout that’s devoid of any hint of low-rent cost cutting. The front seats are well bolstered and the soft-touch dashboard and angled-toward-the-driver control panel have an upscale-ness commonly reserved for more expensive German-designed brands.

which gives it a sleeker profile.

Market position

The GTI has the familiar look of larger machined wheels as well as different front-bumper treatment.

Here, the four-cylinder makes 210 horsepower and a diesel-like 258 pound-feet of torque In addition, all Golfs come with a 5.8-inch touch-screen infotainment system that responds to swiping and pinch-zooming/expanding, just like most smart phones.
