Emily Clark a shooting star Saskatoon product a mainstay on Canada’s national team at age 20 Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express s the youngest player on Canada’s senior national women’s hockey team, Emily Clark is already a veteran when it comes to dealing with quick changes in her hockey life. On March 18, the Saskatoon product was in Durham, New Hampshire, playing for the University of Wisconsin Badgers in a National Collegiate Athletic Association semifinal game. She had a goal, but the Badgers saw a 2-1 lead fade into a 3-2 overtime loss to the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers in the “Frozen Four” championship tournament. The next couple of days, she was navigating a series of flights across the continent to Penticton, B.C., to join Canada’s main training camp to prepare for the women’s world championships, which begin March 28 in Kamloops, B.C. Canada kicks off the preliminary round that day with a match against their biggest rivals, the United States. “It is definitely a quick turnaround, but once I knew it was time to head here, I was definitely excited to get back to Penticton,” said Clark over the phone from Penticton. “I am definitely happy to be back with the team. “I am definitely very fortunate to be able to have this experience this young. This has obviously been my end goal and my dream team.” At age 20, Clark is already suiting up for second worlds with the Canada’s senior national team. She was part of the silver medal winning team last year in Malmo, Sweden. Just four years ago, she was completing her final midget AAA season with the Saskatoon Stars. During that

campaign, Clark finished second in the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League scoring race recording 26 goals and 34 assists in 26 games. Playing a power-forward style of game despite standing just 5-foot-7, Clark received her first taste of being a member of the national team program helping Canada win gold at the under-18 worlds in the Czech Republic in January of 2012. She would be part of another gold medal winner at under-18 worlds in 2013 in Finland, a gold medal victory at the 2014 women’s 4 Nations Cup in Kamloops, and a silver medal win at 4 Nations Cup last year in Sweden.

10 Minutes with Brad Wall Saskatchewan Party leader talks economy, education, health care Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express his is the last of four stories in our main election series, which began with a look at the issues from the perspectives of Insightrix, the Saskatoon polling firm, and political science professors. We have spoken to NDP leader Cam Broten, Liberal leader Darrin Lamoureux and Green Party leader Victor Lau. Last week, we caught up with Saskatchewan Party leader and incumbent Premier Brad Wall. Wall was first elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in 1999, and has been the premier since November, 2007. From Swift Current, Wall and his wife Tami have three children. This interview has been edited for clarity and length. What are the three biggest issues in this election? The three biggest issues would be in my view the economy, first and foremost (and education and health care). We’ve been making that case since I called the election. This is really a choice about who has the best plan, the best ideas, the best team to protect jobs that exist in Saskatchewan today – and also to create the right atmosphere so there can be more investment and new jobs as there have been over the last number of years. You know, the economy is also important because it pays for everything else. It gives us the tax base upon which we can make investments in education and in health care. In education we’ve seen unprecedented increases in enrolment because of growth. We’ve worked hard to increase operating funds to school divisions at rates that are much higher than inflation. We know the pressures are there and so we need to continue, by the way, to focus on the economic strength so as a government we could provide the resources that are needed. We need to make sure there are class-

The centre recently moved into its own space in the north end (Photo by Joanne Paulson) room supports in education. We have, in some divisions, growing classes…and I think classroom supports is an ongoing issue. Our opponents, over their time in government, closed 176 schools…we’ve been building them. Of course, more brand new joint schools in Saskatoon are very, very important. We want to continue with them. There are P3 builds as well. Our opponents don’t favour that, but it’s been a great way to get these things done and move forward with the completion of these schools. Long-term (health) care is key. In this campaign, we have committed if we are reelected to reduce the amount we’re spending on health care management by five per cent, and take the savings and redirect it toward the front lines, so hire more RNs, more continuing care aides, more front line workers. We have increased front line care givers by 800, but we know there is more work to do. Is there an issue specific to Saskatoon? Obviously, we want to complete the children’s hospital. That’s underway, and we’re going to make sure that’s done right. Finally, we’ve moved on from talking about it as was the case in the province for years. The response with respect to education is probably particularly applicable to Saskatoon just because of the growth that’s been there. In the economy, of course, Saskatoon is an engine of growth in our province, the

largest city. It needs to be a flagship for Saskatchewan, for our economy. We’ve worked well with the city, with the mayor but also with, I think... creating the right environment for new investment for Saskatoon. We’ve seen the jobs really increase in that city, and that’s the kind of leadership we’d like to continue to provide given a chance. How is your party different from other parties? I think it’s the economy. We actually have an economic plan, a plan for our economy we implemented in 2007 when we were elected. We have sought to improve it to make it more target-specific to provide specific initiatives. There are five components to this growth plan. One of them is infrastructure. What we’ve added to it is the chance to use innovation, like P3s to get more work done in terms of infrastructure. In this campaign, we’ve added I think to the growth plan by offering in Saskatoon at the Food Development Centre what’s called a patent box. This would be the first in North America. It’s used in the U.K. to provide a great environment for people to innovate, for companies to invent new things and while they’re commercializing and creating jobs to do so with some incentives. International engagement – we want to make sure we have a competitive tax environment; we want to make sure we have a competitive regulatory environment, so that our laws are competitive, and we want a strong R&D sector. Overall diversification

away from natural resources, or in addition to the natural resource strength we have, is a big part of it as well. The international engagement one is key. We’ve really tried to get our message out around the world. We’ve engaged in trade missions; we have been to the major markets in Asia. We need to diversify away from the dependence on one export customer, the United States. Sixty per cent of our exports go there. We need to make sure we are building on the momentum we already have in Asia with agriculture and fertilizer, like potash. I think that’s what we’ve been able to do. For example, working with the federal government, we’ve opened up China and India to Saskatchewan uranium in terms of their civilian nuclear market. That’s a big, big part of the growth plan. The other parties – I can’t comment too much on the PCs, the Liberals and the Green Party, (but) the NDP simply don’t have an economic plan. They have not presented one. They have just a long list of things that don’t seem to be part of an overall plan and vision for the economy, and I think that’s the most important issue in the election. We have a deficit right now in the province, due to low oil prices. We have made some important investments over the last eight years that have us in a good position to get us back to balance by the next budget next spring, if we are reelected. (Continued on page 4)

(Continued from page 3) ome of those decisions have included paying off the operating debt by 40 per cent or $3 billion, and saving a lot in interest and payments. Also the tax reductions are important. We’ve reduced taxes (and) total savings for Saskatchewan people over these last eight years has been $6 billion. Debt reduction and tax reduction and the infrastructure investments we have made, I think we have the province in a good position to remain strong economically – and also to get the budget back to balance pretty soon. You see the price of oil coming back already. Certainly the price of oil dropping has affected our economy, but we’ve remained relatively strong; we really have. We had the forecasters out last week that said even this year with the challenges, we’re going to grow …. by less than one per cent, but it’s still growth. And then the next year, they’re forecasting (we will have) the third strongest growth in Canada. That’s the Conference Board of Canada. That speaks to an economy that is more diversified than it ever has been. We’re not just about oil, or any one natural resource. We have a strong diversified economy. That’s been part of what our growth plan is focused on. I think we’re going to be in a very good position.

Basil Hughton: Proud of the Huskies

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express n an ever-changing era of athletic scholarships, year-round training and the occasional shouts for new facilities, Basil Hughton likes the way the University of Saskatchewan teams continue to compete admirably. The latest jewel in the Huskie crown came March 20 when the women’s basketball team, coached by Lisa Thomaidis, defeated the Ryerson Rams 85-71 to claim the school’s first-ever Canadian championship. They won three straight games at the Canadian finals, adding to a season-long record of 25 wins and two losses in conference and playoff games. “We’re ecstatic any time we win a national championship,” said Hughton, a former Saskatoon high school principal who was appointed the director of Huskie Athletics in August, 2008. The position was like a homecoming for Hughton, who earned a degree in physical education in 1977, a degree in education in 1978 and a master’s in education in 1992, all on the Saskatoon campus. He played Huskie football in 1973 and 1974. The national title was the 26th in Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS). The four Canada West banners earned this year increased that total to 105. “We thrive in athletics because of the commitment of the athletes, the continuity within the coaching ranks and the generous support of sponsors, donors and DC032899 Darlene

Canada West basketball all-star Laura Dally stands in front of the Huskie trophy case which contains four Canada West championship banners from this year (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) the university itself,” said Hughton. “The students come to us because they want to play a sport they love, they want to learn what it’s like to be part of a team, enjoy the character-building aspects and they show an academic side while pursuing a degree.” Saskatchewan has an amazing record in developing Academic All-Canadians. Students who hold averages of 75 per cent or better are named to the first team; students with averages above 70 per cent are named to the second team. Out of the 400 students selected Academic All-Canadians last fall, 183 came from the U of

SALE

S, a figure which represents about 40 per cent of the total number. “That’s a big part of what we like to celebrate,” said Hughton. He has high praise for the coaches within the Saskatchewan system. Many grew up in the Huskie system, like Brian Towriss in football, Brian Gavlas in volleyball, Dave Adolph in hockey, Joanne McTaggart in track and field, Mark Dodds in volleyball, Daniel Olver in wrestling and Jerson Barandica-Hamilton in soccer. “Our successes are a credit to these who both competed and coached in our system,

and to the others who joined us. They coach, each in their own way, and they draw the best out of the individuals, who play on a daily basis.” Two coaches were just honoured with Sask Sport – Thomaidis as coach of the year and Towriss with the male coach dedication award. An advantage for Huskie athletes is that they are allowed to train year-round in areas like the Physical Activity Centre (PAC). Women’s basketball players, for instance, will probably work out twice a week so that can keep training with their teammates. (Continued on page 6)

Fundraisers important to athletics

(Continued from page 5) here are scholarship caps in the CIS. Athletes are allowed money for tuition and other fees but the full-ride scholarships, like in the United States, generally don’t prevail in Canada. There is a rule that only 70 per cent of a team’s roster can be given scholarships. It is also important to note that students with an average of 80 per cent or better don’t have their scholarships count towards the cap, again depending upon what resources the university has available. One of the best fundraisers at the U of S is the Dog’s Breakfast, which enters its season on May 5 at Prairieland Park. Its proceeds go towards the football team, a move ignited by Towriss and supported generously by a group of community of organizers. Last year’s breakfast raised the 15-year total to $1 million. Breakfasts in recent years have tended to raise $100,000 annually. The men’s hockey team has run an Off The Leash breakfast, now in its eighth year. The women’s basketball team is active in a Raise A Paw breakfast. The track and field team held its fourth gala a week ago. Each sport retains the money for its own student-athlete scholarships. Other financing comes from sponsorships and AS022901 Aaron

donations, game ticket sales, and an $80 annual student fee, which also permits students free admission to games. Hughton said the scholarship system comes under close scrutiny of athletic directors in the CIS. “We tend to police ourselves, trusting in the integrity of each university and each program. We continue to look at scholarship rules. A new one is that Canadian students can now be repatriated immediately, without penalty or without having to sit out a year. For a non-Canadian to come and play in the CIS, they are considered international students and pay tuition fees which are 2.6 times more than the regular tuition.” The prospect of a new hockey arena, to be located south of the Saskatoon Field House, is a most-asked question for Hughton. “We are inching closer,” said Hughton. “A new rink is long overdue because some days, I don’t know how the university can keep Rutherford Rink functional. The university fully understands the need and resources are still the major issue.” One of the outdoor facilities, the track at Griffiths Stadium, may be on its last legs. A Saskatoon group is trying hard to raise funds for a new track and field facility within the city. “Saskatoon, as a community, has

enjoyed the track which has always been operated by the university. Our program is basically indoors now although our athletes like to train on the outdoor track in the summer. A major catch is that if any Canadian championship event wanted to come to Saskatoon in the summer, they would want a grass infield. That isn’t possible in the current configuration because of the artificial turf football field.” One more celebration for the U of S is scheduled April 1 at TCU Place when two athletes, two builders and one team will be inducted into the Athletic Wall of Fame. The athletes are Andrew Spagrud, a CIS basketballKaren all-star in each of his last KK032816

four seasons and still the highest scorer in Canada West history with 2,182 points, and Karolyn (Serb) Wells, who won 14 Canada West medals and 11 CIS medals in five seasons with the track and field team. The builders are Michael P.J. Kennedy, a long-time hockey supporter and author of two books on Huskie hockey, and Gil West, who after wrapping up a wrestling career with the Huskies, has been a longtime source of support for the wrestling program. Also to be honoured will be the 199899 Huskies men’s volleyball team, which won the CIS championship, the third in the history of the volleyballers.

Clark first laced up skates at age three

(Continued from page 1) hen Clark wasn’t playing for Canada, she suited up for two Junior Women’s Hockey League seasons with the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton before joining the University of Wisconsin, where she just completed her sophomore season. Going into her second worlds with Canada’s senior national team, Clark has a better idea of what to expect but admits she is still an understudy to the veterans. A number of those veterans have built storied careers on the international stage including Hayley Wickenheiser, Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson. “I think it definitely helps having one under my belt from last year,” said Clark. “It is my second year and second goround, but I still have a lot to learn from the older girls. “I am still the youngest one. Definitely, I will be soaking in a lot of information from those girls, but I think I will definitely have a lot more confidence going into this one being a little bit more comfortable. Everyone is looking out for me and definitely showing me the ropes.” Before she could accomplish any big goals, Clark developed a love for the game at an early age. She started skating at age three at a University of Saskatchewan Huskies kids’ camp that was run by Huskies men’s hockey head coach Dave Adolph. Two years later, Clark was playing pre-novice hockey with the Saskatoon Flyers boys’ team. Her father, Del, was a long-time coach and executive with the Flyers program, and he said the rink was always one of the favourite places his daughter wanted to be. “She always has a smile on her face at the rink and loves being there,” said Del. “That is the way she has been since day one. JW032801 James

“She has always done what she has had to do to get better.” As Emily grew up playing the game, Del said it was a never a problem for her to wake up at 5 a.m. to go for an early morning workout or skate. Emily then went to school and it was back to the rink for a practice with her team. She played boys’ hockey through to the end of her second year peewee. During her years playing with the boys, Emily developed a reputation for being a gritty player that wasn’t afraid to bang and crash in the corners or drive hard to the goal. Del describes his daughter’s playing style as being similar to that of Wendel Clark. Del’s and Wendel’s families are not related, even though Emily plays like the former star of the WHL’s Saskatoon Blades and NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs. “She has always been aggressive,” said Del. “She is never one to shy away. “She used to throw her weight around whatever weight she had. She is so strong she can do a lot of things on her skates that a lot of kids can’t do.” Emily’s offensive game started to take a big leap forward during her second season with the Stars in 2010-11, when she picked up 17 goals and 10 assists in 28 games. The scoring touch stuck with her from that time. In 62 career games with the Badgers, she has 30 goals and 30 assists, which included piling up 18 goals and 15 assists in 26 games this past season. While she is able to light up a scoreboard, Clark prides herself on still being a gritty player. “Growing up, I was usually a grinder, hard worker and an energy player,” said Clark. “I think I am still. It is definitely what I strive to be.” She said the edge was ingrained in her during her years playing boys’ hockey. “Being one of the only girls in Saska-

Emily Clark, who played for the Wisconsin Badgers, now suits up for Canada’s national team (Photo by David Stluka) toon playing boys’ hockey, you definitely had to earn your spot and prove yourself,” said Clark. “You definitely had to learn to work hard and go above and beyond what peers were doing from a young age.” Still, she was glad to add the offensive dimension to her game during her time with the Stars. Clark still has fond memories during her time with Saskatoon’s female midget AAA team, which included winning the prestigious Mac’s tournament in Calgary in 2011. “I think every year that I was on the Stars we had a fun team and fun chemistry,” said Clark. “I think definitely just even practices and bus rides, those were my favourite. “You get to spend time with the girls joking around in a pretty lighthearted mood. Definitely, I was fortunate to play with some very good players and also some pretty good characters on that team.” Emily has always received strong support from her family including her mom, Tracy, four older brothers Jeff, Kevin, KK032809 Karen

Brian and Robbie, and older sister Kristina. Del said they all enjoy getting out to Emily’s games. “We love watching her play,” said Del. “We love watching her practise, when she is at home. “I work out at Gemini, and she is on the ice quite a bit out there. We will go out and watch her there.” Emily credits her parents and veteran Saskatoon hockey coach Scott Dutertre for being the biggest influences in helping her playing career. Peering into the future, Clark could be with Canada’s senior national team for a long time, but she admits she doesn’t know how long that could be. “I haven’t really put too much thought into how long,” said Clark. “I’ve just been enjoying each tournament at a time. “It is definitely the dream team to be on, and Olympics have been my goal since I was probably five years old. As long as I am still improving and am still able to keep proving myself and making it every year, I will keep playing it for as long as I can.”

Keeping patients safe Hospital’s pharmacy needs new Medication Dispensing System Carol is a patient at Saskatoon City Hospital who regularly takes a nightly medication. During her stay, the nurse brings her bedtime dose but Carol is concerned that it looks different. The nurse investigates and determines the package sent from the pharmacy contained the incorrect medication. Were it not for Carol and the nurse’s diligence the results could have been harmful. This is why Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation needs your help to purchase an automatic unit dose-packing system for the hospital’s pharmacy. “The current unit was bought in 2003 and is beyond its life span. As a result, it needs to be repaired often,” reports Amy Wiebe, the pharmacy’s manager. “It used to make approximately one error per week but now we’re routinely seeing errors daily. “The most common errors,” Wiebe explains, “include dispensing a mislabeled medication as

seen in Carol’s scenario or what’s called a double drop which happens when the unit accidentally inserts two pills.” “The most crucial concern is patient safety,” Wiebe says, noting the pharmacy dispenses 3,500 pills every day at Saskatoon City Hospital. That’s more than a half million pills every year! “A new system would ensure that thousands of patients are getting the right medication.”

An active lifestyle is at the heart of 55-plus communities or assisted living offerings at that time in life when it is needed. Active-living communities offer many of the features that recently retired people seek in homes that do not compromise on amenities. Individuals who are looking for comfortable, maintenance-free homes often seek out these developments for the convenience and services they offer.

attractions to keep residents busy. Activeadult communities may be similar to allinclusive vacations and cruises in that they have their own activities coordinator on staff. Should residents prefer solo activities, the property on which these homes are built are often created with recreation in mind. There can be walking paths or areas for cycling. Pools and spas are often part of the living package as well. Security Individuals who are no longer bogged down with work requirements may be more likely to take vacations or go visiting. In a traditional home, there may be worries about leaving the home unattended for a period of time. However, in 55plus residences, homes may be in gated communities or have security patrols. Also, the sheer number of homes in a townhouse-style building can camouflage homes that are currently vacant, easing the minds of those who are planning on going away. Concierge services Some of the more exclusive communities may have staff who can help with everything from booking vacations to helping with moving details.

active-adult-home-developments, the residents are all in a similar age range, and may have similar interests. At a time in life when friendships from work may waver due to retirement, and older children may be busy with their own lives, these communities can help foster new friendships. Whether through community-sponsored activities or just through home proximity, residents can enjoy one another’s company and never worry about feeling lonely into their retirement years. Low- or no-maintenance living One of the biggest attractions to active-adult living is that these homes are built to provide worry-free living. Included in the home ownership fees are provisions to take care of much of the interior and exterior maintenance. That means should a pipe leak or the lawn needs mowing, maintenance staff rather than the homeowner will handle the problem. This peace of mind enables residents to pursue interests rather than worry about the upkeep on their homes. Many times the community is expertly manicured, helping to create an aesthetically pleasing environment. Activity-based fun Many communities build activities into the living plan. Therefore, there may be a workout room, the game center, exercise classes, movie nights, and many other

s the Baby Boomer generation enters retirement age, there has been an increased demand for services that meet the needs of this segment of the population. Amenities such as active-living communities that boast top-of-the-line features typically are the first things individuals seek. Age-restricted, 55-plus communities cater to what the name implies -- people who are age 55 and older. However, these home developments are a far cry from what they used to be. Now they rival some of the best resorts in their features and are designed entirely around the needs of a group of active, amenity driven people. Plus, considering there now are more Americans age 65 and older than in any other point in history, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, developers understand the benefits of catering to this group of people. Therefore, there are more high-end activeliving communities now than ever before. There are many choices with regard to active adult retirement communities. Many of these developments boast everything from detached, single-family homes to villas to condominiums. These residences are built with the active adult in mind.

Saskatoon 55+ Lifestyles Retirement saving for late bloomers

oday’s young professionals hear about the importance of saving for retirement seemingly from the moment they are hired. In addition to discussions with human resources personnel about employer-sponsored retirement plans, young professionals are learning about the importance of saving for retirement thanks to the abundance of financial-planning advertisements on television, the radio and the Internet. Older workers may not have been so lucky, and many may find themselves trying to play catch up as retirement age draws closer. While it’s important to begin KK032805 Karen

saving for retirement as early as possible, late bloomers whose retirement dates are nearing can still take steps to secure their financial futures. • Pay down debts. Eliminating debt is good for men and women of all ages, but especially so for those nearing retirement. Substantial debt may delay your retirement and can greatly reduce your quality of life during retirement. If you still have substantial debt, eliminate that debt before you start saving additional money for retirement. Once your debt slate has been wiped clean, you can then increase your retirement contributions.

• Eliminate unnecessary expenses. If your retirement savings are low (many financial advisors now advise men and women that they will need at least 60 percent of their pre-retirement income each year they are retired), start cutting back on unnecessary expenses and reallocate that money toward retirement saving. Cutting out luxury items, such as vacations to exotic locales or country club memberships, is one way to save money. But don’t overlook the simpler ways to save, such as canceling your cable subscription or dining at home more often. • Downsize your home. Many empty nesters downsize their homes as retirement nears, and doing so can help you save a substantial amount of money. If the kids no longer live at home or if you simply have more space than you will need after retirement, downsize to a smaller, less expensive home. Monitor Karen the real estate market before KK032819 you decide to downsize so you can be sure

to get the best deal on your current home. Downsizing saves on monthly utility bills, property taxes and a host of additional expenses. Downsizing also means less maintenance, which gives you more time to pursue your hobbies upon retiring. • Take on some additional work. While you may have long felt you would slowly wind down in the years immediately preceding retirement, taking on some additional work outside of your current job is a great way to save more for retirement and perhaps even lay the foundation for a postretirement career. Workers over the age of 50 can be invaluable resources to startups or other businesses looking for executives who have been there, done that. Look for part-time jobs that seek such experience. Even if the initial jobs don’t bowl you over financially, part-time consultant work in retirement can make up for lost retirement savings and may even make your retirement years more fulfilling.

themselves. As most bullies have been bullied at some point in their lives, their new victims may, in turn, become bullies. Have you ever witnessed a swarm, where students circle the bully and the victim and watch as the bully beats his/ her victim, while some spectators make a video of the beating for posting on the Internet? The victim then suffers further humiliation as the world watches his/her pummelling and the perpetrator becomes the new heavyweight champion of bullies – until he/she is dethroned by a bigger bully. It is the 21st century version of “Christians and lions” entertainment. School divisions across the nation have been struggling to find solutions to this problem, but with each passing year they seem to have diminished control over students. Use of cell phones in classrooms is common, and respect for teacher authority is eroding. Everyone has rights; very few have responsibilities. If and when parents are contacted about their child’s consistently bad behaviour, more often than not these same parents will defend it by claiming it is someone else’s fault, or act bewildered as to what a reasonable solution to the problem could be. It would be wrong to blame all parents for their children’s delinquent behaviour and it is recognized that at times kids fall prey to peer pressure; but we should find fault

with those parents who become aware of the misconduct and refuse to appropriately correct it. However, it is not only parents but all of society that bears some responsibility when we refuse to intervene on bullying behaviour – we just don’t want to get involved. Like students, we fear the repercussions of intervention. In reality, the very people that we look to for remedies are at times the worst offenders. Have you ever watched a televised session of the House of Commons? Members of Parliament taunt, ridicule, insult, mock, name call, hurl unfounded allegations and slurs and are generally disrespectful of one another. There are no consequences for their bad conduct because they have immunity from any legal action for what is said while under the dome of the hallowed House. The same applies to provincial assemblies. And closer to home, and to a far lesser degree, councillors have exhibited subtle disrespect for one another. (We actually reward some of these negative role models by re-electing them.) What do our children learn from this? I don’t know how many children have to be damaged before our lawmakers step in. The city solicitor states that cyber bullying laws have to be enacted by the federal government. (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) ut it seems not to be a priority. Can the provincial government amend existing legislation banning use of cell phones in schools, mandate home schooling for students guilty of repetitive bullying or have social services do home studies on a chronic bully’s family to find the root of the problem? Those working in the field of errant youth, who wanted this bylaw, were looking for tools to deal with bullies without resorting to the courts, thus avoiding a criminal record for the bully. (They needn’t worry because as young offenders their criminal records are sealed.) But shouldn’t we be worrying about protecting victims first? JW032810 James

Leaving this solely in the hands of the school boards is unseemly. To the school boards’ credit, school divisions have tried different programs and protocols to deal with bullies and their victims, yet the problem continues to grow. Without some strong legislative guidance, I fear nothing will change for the better. Why should you be concerned? Because today it is someone else’s child, but tomorrow it may be your child, grandchild, brother, sister, niece or nephew that is victimized. I leave you with the cautionary words of Martin Niemoller: “When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.” ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

There was one promise, however, that I chuckled over. The Sask. Party would allow “homebased food producers to sell low-risk foods like cookies, pies and buns prepared in their home directly to consumers and retailers such as coffee shops.” In respect to selling “direct to consumers,” I believe farmers markets have existed in Saskatchewan for decades.

New centre AIMs to help children reach full potential Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express hildren played, parents and grandparents chatted, and balloons were released when the Ability In Me (AIM) program officially opened its doors to a new, 3,000 square foot space March 21. The date also marked World Down Syndrome Day — an appropriate choice for AIM’s grand opening, which supports children with Down Syndrome through to adulthood. The media also turned out in droves, as Sask. Party leader Brad Wall, and incumbent MLAs Paul Merriman and Gord Wyant attended during an election stop. AIM is a non-profit, charitable organization that provides therapy and language programs, intended to help children integrate at home and at school. Tammy Ives, executive director of the AIM program, said AIM opened in January, 2015. “We just moved into this space in the last two weeks,” said Ives. “This space has allowed us to make it a community for the families. Where we were located before was a wonderful beginning – it was in the basement of the Grosvenor Park United DC032842 Darlene

Church – but we expanded a lot quicker than we were expecting, and we really needed our own space. “You can see our families are thrilled just be able just to come here, to meet other families….we do programming, but it’s also a family setting, families connecting with other families and knowing that they’re not alone,” said Ives, indicating the parents and children playing behind her. The new location at 3314 Millar Ave. includes an early learning programming room; separate offices for individual speech and reading programs; and another room for older kids’ programming. Thus far, 78 families have signed up, and 69 use the programs regularly. Between eight and 15 children are at the centre daily. In the other space, “we were just making do,” said Ives; but the new location can accommodate up to 100 students, with programming for infants to age 22. “Overall, children come throughout the day. Some children come once a month; some children may come weekly,” said Ives. Asked if demand for services for Down Syndrome children had increased, she said, “It’s not that the demand has changed. It’s about the knowledge of what programming

can do for our children to reach their full potential.” Ives and other parents visited a similar program in Calgary to gain an understanding of what could be done in Saskatoon. “We recognized then what kind of programming we need. It’s was more about being knowledgeable about what supports out children need, which is really that consistency. “What’s unique about this program is it’s notDC032844 about one orDarlene two years; it’s about zero

to 22. That’s why I say it’s such a family program. We’re here to support the children and the families up to 22 years.” The program, in part, exists to work with children so that they are successful in the school system, said Ives. Provincial government support of $720,000 was provided over two years through the Ministry of Education, and began in April, 2015. As a non-profit, AIM also receives financial support from corporations, local businesses and individuals.
