Amanda Stalwick, record-breaker Track athlete and fitness trainer sets sights on World Masters Games Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express t the Kinsmen Indoor Games in March, Amanda Stalwick ran 50 metres in 7.23 seconds, breaking the provincial record in her age group. The day before, she ran the 200-metre race in 28.29 seconds. She set that record, too. Two weeks before, competing in the Alberta Indoor Championships held in Edmonton, she broke her own Saskatchewan 60-metre record of 8.53 seconds with an 8.44-second effort. The earlier record was set at the Sled Dog in Saskatoon in January. Just to provide some perspective, the great Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey ran 50 metres in six seconds flat in 1994. The top female Olympic medal earner, and a full-time world-class athlete, was 34 at the time. Stalwick, who may look 25, is 44 years old. When she competed in the 50-metre race, she not only broke the age-group record: she ran with the senior girls (age 18) and won the race. “The best random comment from the crowd,” she remembered in a recent interview at City Perks, “was, ‘way to show them how it’s done!’” Her coach, Dale Upton, approached her right after that race and asked, “Do you know what you ran? It’s a record. 7.23.” “I was trying to break seven (seconds),” Stalwick replied. She may not have met that personal (and lofty) goal, but those three races have placed Stalwick at No. 1 in the 40 to 44 age category in the Athletics Canada Masters rankings. It’s probably not surprising that her age grade calculator (which grades masters athletes against their “prime years”) ranks between 86 and 89 per cent. Worldclass is 90. Stalwick, unsurprisingly, has been running all her life. She ran through elementary school, and as soon as she could in Grade 7, began entering the Kinsmen races. “My favourite time of year was spring, because that’s when the track started,” she said. “I’d be so excited I couldn’t sleep.” Her Grade 6 teacher, Mr. Galambos, recommended that she receive more formal coaching, and she did, racing

at provincial and Canadian levels until Grade 12. At that point, she began running longer distances and she thought about the Canada Games, but she felt tired and burned out. She gave up on competitive racing, but continued running to stay fit and avoid the “Freshman 15” (those pounds that creep on) when she got to the University of Saskatchewan. But the Huskies were howling for her. A coach saw her potential and kept encouraging her to join the track team, and eventually, she returned to competing in 10Ks and marathons. Stalwick is not just an athlete; there are also the degrees. Stalwick took a B.A. in English and history, followed by a Bachelor of Education in English language arts and social studies, and then a Masters in curriculum development and assessment. She was working on a PhD in a related field at the University of Alberta, when her training time began to intervene: she was working out 22 hours a week.
By that time, she was training for and competing in triathlons. “Marathon is hard,” said Stalwick, perhaps with understatement, “and I had a friend who wanted to try the Just Try It program – an intro program for women who want to try triathlon. It’s a really supportive women’s group to try to get women involved. “I know how to run; I thought, how hard can biking be? But I didn’t know how to swim. So I started to learn to swim at age 28.” Anxiety attacks followed her into the deep end, but she hung in there and competed in the Spin On Spadina triathlon. “I was the second last person out of the water,” she said. But a day later, someone called to congratulate her. “I placed second in my age group.” Then came the challenge of Ironman. “I’d heard of an Ironman, but I thought, that’s crazy,” said Stalwick. The grueling triathlon asks athletes to swim 3.8K, bike 180K and then run a full marathon, 42K. (Continued on page 6)

Sewing circle dresses orphan girls in Zambia
C
lair Ziolkowski, a Saskatoon missionary, has found willing partners among the Grassland Quilters and some of their friends to provide 2,000 dresses by November for girls in orphanages in Kitwe, a community in the copper belt of Zambia. Ziolkowski, who is founder of Beautiful Feet Ministries, was first in Zambia three years ago when he heard about a Canadian friend recommending a project with pillowcase dresses. “These were for girls who had next People to nothing and I decided what a lovely thing to do,” said Ziolkowski, who will go to Zambia in November to supervise the distribution of dresses from the 40 pallets inside a huge shipping container. The shipments wouldn’t be possible if the Grassland Quilters, coordinated by Elaine Crocker, Judy Burnett and Eva Wiebe, hadn’t accepted the challenge of making the dresses and encouraging other organizations to contribute. The project has win-win-win all over it. Ziolkowski wins because he’s found something to embrace after once being told he had only three months to live. The quilters win because they enjoy a great opportunity of service that fits with their natural talents. The girls in Zambia win because of the gifts which enrich their lives. Seven years ago, Ziolkowski underwent open heart surgery. He got pneumonia, infections set it, and liver and kidney failures followed. He was using oxygen tanks and moving about on a scooter. He was placed in palliative care and told he had three months to live. “God had a different plan for me,” said Ziolkowski. “When my health and life turned around, I knew it was time to serve. God keeps opening doors for me.” When he wasn’t occupied as a hail insurance adjuster, he travelled with Gideons, taking Bibles, books and humanitarian supplies and delivering a broad range of ministries to countries like Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines and Russia. Zambia was an eye-opener. “There are thousands in orphanages, many because they have lost both parents to AIDS, others because one parent has died and the other doesn’t have the time to look after them. There are three orphanages in the immediate area, accounting for about 3,000 children. Half of them are girls.

devoted to them,” said Schwartz. The dresses will be loaded into the containers in Cambridge, Ont., and then shipped from either Montreal or Halifax. Once the ship lands in Africa, the dresses are taken by truck to Zambia. “When the truck gets to the community, the girls line up in a row, start singing and some are dancing, and that’s how we know that their hearts are filled with gratitude,” said Ziolkowski. “For some of them, it will be the first time they have ever seen a white person. While there, I’m apt to spend three weeks, taking speaking engagements and working with pastors. I have to guard myself with food and water intake, but every moment in Zambia is worth the effort.” If all the dresses don’t get to Zambia in the available shipping spaces, those left in Saskatoon are contributed to the Mennonite Central Committee. Donations can be placed in the plastic bin at Ebenezer Baptist Church, 107 McWillie Avenue, or brought to Grassland Quilters on Mondays from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. or emailed to Eva at greeter41@ gmail.com.
and now, for the first time, buy or donate money for panties. There have been sewing sessions at Ebenezer, specifically for the project. The church makes the space — and coffee — available. A group in Wawota, working under the title of The Little Dress Shop, has completed 760 dresses and delivered them. More have been promised by women in Dalmeny, Hepburn and Martensville. Support in Saskatoon has come from the McClure and Massey Place communities. Retired nuns in a home have gathered fabric and materials and donated them. Sharon Schwartz, who has made more than 80 dresses herself at McClure, shared the story of a friend’s last heartfelt gift. “My friend, Dawn Saretzky, helped by finding buttons and trims and putting them on the pockets of the dresses. We had nine or 10 dresses which needed pockets so I called her. She’d been busy the one night with a birthday dinner. She finished the pockets and delivered them the next night. A day later (April 28) Dawn died. I can’t help thinking how she is going to make some little girls in Zambia happy because one of her last inspirational deeds was

“It was also interesting while travelling through the different villages, most of the times accompanied by knowledgeable guides. You learn to quit sleeping in tents when there are lions and elephants in the area. Once I was standing 30 to 40 feet away watching a lion devouring the remains of an impala.” Crocker said the challenge of supplying the dresses “was a little overwhelming, but we believed in the cause and we had faith. We women are thrifty Prairie types at heart. It has been wonderful to take part, knowing we are just one piece of Clair’s ministry, but it gives our 30 regulars in Grassland to do something that takes us beyond our normal daily lives.” The Grassland group has made about 400 dresses annually for the last three years, all designated for the orphanages. They knew they needed help to fulfil this year’s quota. They asked other women, mostly in sewing circles, to come to a dress information session at Ebenezer Baptist Church, get a pattern and see the samples. From there, women could sew dresses on their own, sew with a group of friends, donate fabric, sheets and pillowcases

Power back Matheson returns to the Valkyries Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express amantha Matheson’s retirement from the Saskatoon Valkyries turned out to be a short one. Following the 2015 campaign, Matheson originally decided to walk away from the local women’s tackle football team due to nagging injuries to her knees. After getting some rest, Matheson found she couldn’t stay away from the team and committed to returning for a third season. Besides her own desire to stay in the game, Matheson’s mother, Crystal, is back for a second season as a defensive back, and younger sister Kendal is a rookie running back. “My mother was a big part of coming back,” said Samantha. “If it wasn’t for her, I would not be back. “During the off-season, I just didn’t do any sports, and I just started missing football so much. I realized how much I loved it. It was going to be so hard not to go back to it.” During her first two seasons with the team, Matheson developed a reputation for being a power back that runs hard between the tackles. She also improved greatly as each campaign progressed. She also had a game for the ages in last year’s Prairie Conference final in the Western Women’s Canadian Football League playoffs. Matheson ripped off 159 yards rushing on 14 carries and scored four touchdowns. In the process of putting up those big numbers at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, she helped the Valkyries erase a 28-7 fourthquarter deficit to the host Regina Riot to take a 29-28 lead. The Riot pulled out a 31-29 victory on a last-second field goal and moved on to win the WWCFL title. The setback to the Riot also ended the Valkyries four-year run as league cham-

ing back. It is nice having her out there, pushing each other in practice and having her out there beside me in the game, too.” Besides playing for the Valkyries, Matheson is hoping to make the Saskatchewan team that will compete in the inaugural senior national women’s football championship that runs July 28-31 in Regina. If she wanted to play for the provincial team, Matheson figured the best thing she could do was remain with the Valkyries. Having played mainly rugby and soccer, Matheson didn’t know a lot about football when she first started, but that changed quickly. “I loved the first year because there were so many vets who stepped up and helped me out,” said Matheson, who was a member of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s soccer team. “You feel so loved. It is such a family environment.” The Valkyries began the 2016 campaign with a 30-17 exhibition victory over the Edmonton Storm on April 30. Their regular-season home opener is set for May 15 against the Manitoba Fearless (1 p.m., Saskatoon Minor Football Field). Samantha Matheson is hoping to play for Saskatchewan at the nationals Following the game with the Fear(Photo by Darren Steinke) less, the Valkyries take on the Riot in a pions.

Amanda Stalwick (Continued from page 1) “A friend wanted to try it, and I said I’d train with her. She was doing a half Ironman in Morden, Manitoba. And I thought what the heck, I’ll do it too.” She went on to compete in five full Ironman triathlons, despite that fear of open water. Sharing her skills A few years later, Stalwick decided she would like to share her athletic prowess and know-how with other women. She became certified through CanFitPro, the national certification body, in personal training, group training, and also took a nutrition course. “I had lots of experience, being a high-powered athlete, and with running. I always had coaches with the 10Ks and marathons. I had all that experience, but I wanted that piece of paper.” Then, in 2009, she started Positively Fit (http://positivelyfitpersonaltraining.ca/). She is also a National Coaching Certification Program triathlon coach, an occupational health and safety practitioner and a Health and Safety Administrator (HSA). Her training focuses on women 35 and up, on keeping them healthy, balanced and fit, but she provides training support for others, as well. “One of the guys I train went on to being one of the top finishes in the Spartan Races, which I’m super proud of,” said Stalwick. “When you see people doing well, it makes you feel so good . . . achieving their hopes and dreams. I don’t think there is any better feeling.” Stalwick rents space for her classes at Ignite Conditioning on Lauriston Avenue, and in summer, takes her groups outside. Now, she has also just become head trainer for Orange Theory Fitness in Stonebridge. It was not the plan she had for herself, originally. Stalwick was employed in
higher education curriculum development, and saw her athletics business as part-time. “Athletics has chosen me all my life. I guess it’s time to roll with it,” she said, laughing. Stalwick is supported by her family including her mother, Sandra, who at 74 comes to her classes. “She can crank out 10 pull-ups,” said Stalwick, obviously impressed. “She’s pretty amazing.” Her husband, Gary, is a football coach, co-teacher and “very supportive.” “When I started running at the track this fall, he said, I want to do that too, and be along for the ride.” Stalwick’s son Andrew, 16, is a lacrosse, football and track athlete, and “has been known to dunk basketballs”; so athletics is certainly running in the family. Next for Stalwick are three Masters Games. First will be the Canadian Masters Games at York University in Toronto, followed by the Americas Master Games in Vancouver – both in August. Then, she’s going to the Worlds Masters Athletic Championships, in Perth, Australia, this October. Because these are outdoor events, and the 50- and 60-metre races are indoor, Stalwick will compete in the 100- and 200-metre races. “My goal is to run (the 100) in under 13 seconds, and I’m really hoping I run a 12.89, or 12.79, somewhere in there.” All of this racing has come fairly recently, after Stalwick left the Valkyries women’s football team — yes, she played football too. She was looking for a new adventure. Still training with Dale Upton, he asked her what was next for her. “I said I was thinking about World Masters,” said Stalwick. “Dale offered to train me for it, and that was that.” Now we’ll just have to wait and see if she breaks any more records.

15 food trucks prepare for war at upcoming festival
Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ood Truck Wars Episode II — presented by Bartari — will be longer, bigger and more diverse than the successful inaugural edition last May. Fifteen trucks will compete from May 27 to May 29, up four from last year. The entertainment package will include a professional wrestling card on May 27, a dancing/music show on May 28 and a hot dog eating competition on the final day. The trucks will wage war throughout the weekend, of course. “It went really well,” organizer David Mah said of the inaugural two-day festival. “I remember going out at 5:45, 15 minutes before the doors opened, and I couldn’t even see the end of the line. This year it will be much improved and we will get people in much quicker. It was way more people than I was expecting —three times more.” He said last year a number of trucks ran out of food. That was great for the vendors, but not as good for hungry festivalgoers. This year an air-controlled semitrailer unit will be on site, giving truck owners an opportunity to store food. The event kicks off May 27 at 5 p.m. — an hour earlier than last year —at the Sutherland Curling Club. The featured entertainment that evening will be a show put on by High Impact Wrestling of Regina. A number of Saskatoon wrestlers are expected to be on the card. A dancing group — Game Theory — and DJ will be featured on the evening of May 28. The festival runs from noon until 10 p.m. that day. “It’s a hip hop, break-dancing competi-
F
tion,” Mah said. “It’s really popular. They draw 400 people out to their shows regularly. The crowd will really be into it. “Canada’s top DJ — DJ Charlie Hustle — will be DJing their show. He just went to Japan and competed at the world championships. He takes a lot of ’70’s disco and mixes it with newer stuff. Every set is different; he never plays the same set twice.” During the day on May 28, there will be such events as a magic show, an arm wrestling competition, a Russian egg roulette, and the first event in the battle of the trucks. Each will be judged for a dessert. Last year, the Pineapple Express, owned by Mah, won the award for its grilled pineapple and ice cream dish. “We didn’t bribe anybody,” he said with a laugh. Sunday will feature the final round of the food truck competition. Last year’s winner was Rebel Melt, with its signature sandwich, the aptly named Rebel Melt. The highlight on the final day last year was the hot dog eating competition. “It was so funny and ridiculous,” Mah said. The winner ended up downing 13 dogs in the 10 minutes allotted for the event. Throughout the weekend, there will be video-gaming area, presented by Bartari. It will include a Super Smash Brothers tournament for skilled players. There will also be a beer garden, although Mah stresses it will be a family friendly weekend. The cost for the festival is $5 for those over the age of 12. Younger folks get in for free.

“Where does PotashCorp spend 70¢ of every dollar? Only in my backyard.” ANDY YUE N & R ACHE L KONG OWN E RS, ODD COU PLE R ES TAU R ANT SA S K ATOON, SA S K ATCH E WAN
“Our restaurant is thriving, thanks in large part to PotashCorp. Not only do they employ more than 2,300 people locally, they spend 70 cents of every dollar right here in our province, generating strong economic activity that benefits every business. We’re glad they’re in our backyard.”

(Continued from page 8) antibiotics because it is sick, it can’t be slaughtered until after the withdrawal period,” explained Glen. The antibiotic withdrawal period varies, based on factors such as the size of animal and the specific antibiotic, she said. (Here’s my other question to “certified humane” producers and plants: if you say your premium beasts get “No antibiotics — EVER!” how is that humane? Just let the poor animal suffer or die? Cull it and say goodbye? What?) On the hormone front, let’s not be fooled by this debate: all meat has hormones in it. “They are naturally occurring,” said Glen; so it’s pretty hard to argue that the A&W beef is hormonefree. The question is, are you getting additional hormones in your beef? Hormones are commonly used to help beef cattle efficiently turn food into muscle; yes. But the amount remaining in the meat is tiny. If this bothers a person, that person should not eat any meat, or cabbage, or soy milk for that matter. There is vastly more estrogen, for example, in soymilk than in any sort of beef. And growth hormones do have positive effects: they allow producers to raise cattle more efficiently, which reduces environmental
impacts such as reduced fuel use, manure and greenhouse gases. Furthermore, Canadian beef cattle are raised humanely. They are also slaughtered humanely and very quickly. “There is no advantage to any cattle producer to treat animals poorly,” said Glen, who constantly sees producers at meetings discussing animal welfare — and practising it in the field. “There is no economic advantage; there is no moral advantage. “Cattle producers in general treat their animals well and I think research into things like nutrition, health and transport continue to improve the picture.” However, it may be time to establish a widespread certification program for Canadian beef. There is no official body widely providing that at present, although there’s some work being done through the Roundtable on Canadian Beef; but progress has been slower than food companies would like, said Glen. It will happen, and the sooner the better. But in the meantime, let’s understand: Canadian beef is delicious and healthy. Beef cattle are treated and slaughtered humanely. It appears that Earls gets that now, even without that piece of paper, if it did take an outcry to point it out.
Broadway intersection closed
T
he intersection at Broadway Avenue and 12th Street is scheduled to be closed May 9, with no direct route between the Broadway Bridge and Broadway Avenue. Water main upgrade work in this area is expected to be completed in two weeks. It will be followed by road resurfacing, with an estimated end date of June 1.
Preliminary plans included the full closure of the Broadway Bridge to accommodate the extensive work area. After initial excavation work and inspection, the project team determined that the work area could be reduced to provide limited access to the bridge. Commuters are encouraged to use the Senator Sid Buckwold and University bridges during the project.

ABC’s of Block Therapy Working to release fascia, Block Therapy is a new approach to wellness.
As the ribcage collapses over time, fascia becomes compressed. Sealing tightly, it holds the body out of alignment. Movement becomes restricted, pain increases. Breaking this seal, Block Therapy restores tissues, thus allowing the spine to realign. As posture and fexibility improve, pain is relieved. Many people report benefits such as weight loss, stress reduction, improved quality of life and much more. Everyone is subject to gravity, so all can benefit from Block Therapy. There is no age limit.

Plan ahead for eco-friendly landscapes
Planning ahead can ensure homeowners that their lawns and gardens conserve water throughout the spring and summer. Such planning can save homeowners substantial amounts of money when summer temperatures rise and put a strain on lawns, plants and gardens that need more water than usual. Homeowners who want their landscapes to thrive while benefitting the environment can take the following steps as lawn and garden season approaches. • Research native plants. Native plants typically require considerably less water than exotic plants that do not naturally grow in particular areas. In addition, the
from having to use potentially harmful pesticides. • Design smart. When designing your landscape layout, group plants according to how much or how little water they need. This prevents overwatering plants that do not need much water, which can harm the plant and lead to unnecessary water waste, and ensures plants that do need substantial amounts of water have those needs met. • Consider the elements. When planting, consider how much natural sunlight each area of the yard gets before planting. Plants planted in areas that are especially exposed to the sun may require extra waterering, as the hot summer sun can
cause water to evaporate, depriving plants of the water they need to thrive. In addition to the sun, wind can divert water meant for plants and grass, so plant appropriately in areas that are exposed to sun and wind. • Work with a professional. Professional landscapers and landscape architects can be invaluable resources for homeowners who want their properties to be as ecofriendly as possible. The desire for ecofriendly landscapes has risen in recent
years, and many professional landscapers and architects are familiar with various ways to make lawns and gardens more environmentally friendly. Eco-friendly landscaping is a wise investment for homeowners who want to help the planet and save money at the same time. Planning to make such an investment in advance of spring and summer is a great way to produce a beautiful and ecofriendly landscape.

Garden-inspired decor brightens spaces and mood

In fact, it may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home. Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addition to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason enough to get into gardening, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb. Home-design trends seem to be following suit, offering individuals more opportunities to surround themselves with potentially therapeutic plants. Explore these emerging and established garden décor trends to try in and around your home. • Living wall planters: A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor without taking up floor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a manner that enables them to be
• Combining fish with gardening: Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by installing a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer ready-made kits that can make fast work of establishing a pond or other water feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water garden companies and installers who can suggest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fish suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfish varieties. Game fish are discouraged because they can destroy pond plants. If an outdoor pond is more maintenance than you desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fish and live aquarium plants. • Creative furniture designs: Maybe you’re a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that enable you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the center for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better. • Improved outdoor lighting: People who like to spend time in their gardens
and decorative lighting to create the desired ambiance. • Functional fire pits and places: A blazing fire creates a cozy spot to gather on chilly evenings, but fire pits and fireplaces also can be used as impromptu cooking spots for s’mores or frankfurters on a stick. You can purchase a stand-alone fire pit from any number of retailers or build your own with patio pavers and fire bricks to line the interior of the fire pit. Outdoor fireplaces require more work, and you want to hire a mason to ensure proper installation.
Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces are increasingly popular in backyards.

AUDIOLOGIST/OWNER
WHO’S YOUR AUDIOLOGIST?
I love May. Not only have the sights and sounds of spring finally arrived but I get the opportunity to promote my profession. I AM AN AUDIOLOGIST and MAY IS NATIONAL SPEECH AND HEARING MONTH. You might be asking yourself what is an Audiologist? Let me tell you. An Audiologist is a hearing care professional who must have at least a master’s degree to practice in Canada. Audiologists assess, identify and treat hearing loss, tinnitus (noise/ringing in the ears), balance problems and other auditory disorders. I am the proud owner of Sound Impressions Hearing Centre conveniently located in the Grosvenor Park Centre. I see children and adults with a focus on adult hearing aid fittings. Don’t be a statistic- 1 in 10 Canadians have untreated hearing loss. If you or a loved one suspects a hearing loss, don’t wait, book a hearing evaluation. Better hearing delivers a better life. Stay connected with the ones you love.

Roller Derby being taken more seriously Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express he party isn’t over for the Saskatoon Roller Derby League, but it has definitely toned down over the years. Veteran skaters Mel (Forna) Skate Langeler and Laurel (Bella Von Bastard) Turner have been with the local league pretty much since it started in 2007. Both remember that events in the league’s formative years usually revolved around the social aspect of getting together and going out for a great after-party. The social characteristic is still part of the sport, but things have evolved over time. “It keeps getting more serious,” said Langeler, 33. “When we first started, there were a lot of like fishnets and tutus and getting drunk and wearing crazy makeup. “Now it is like protein shakes. I think it is going to keep getting more intense and physically difficult, especially with the junior skaters coming up. “The game gets more strategic and athletic every year. I think that is just going to continue.” Turner, 36, remembers how losses would pile up in the early years, when the league would send travel teams to participate in games in other cities. The joke would be about winning the after-party. She remembers doing things like crashing weddings after games. Now, Turner finds herself a cagey vet among a younger generation that is very sport-focused. She is more conscious about setting a good example. “I still feel the pressure being a senior skater,” said Turner. “I feel like there is a lot of like pressure because we have been around so long to perform and lead.” A roller derby game consists of two halves that are 30 minutes in length. Each half consists of a bunch of jams that are up to two minutes in length, and there is a
T
30-second break between each jam. Each team fields four blockers and a jammer. A jammer tries to lap the other team’s blockers and earns a point for each blocker that is passed. These days, new players get into the sport because they know a little bit about it. Langeler and Turner remember their reasons were joining were somewhat different. “I always had roller skates growing up, so I was like, ‘that sounds amazing,’” said Langeler. “It was just like a fun physical activity. It didn’t really feel like working out. It was like a good like ragtag group of women that were all doing it.” “I just had a baby, and I needed to like find a way to get out of the house,” said Turner. “She was only like a few months old, and I needed a hobby. It was really fun, really cool and edgy. There were lots of very cool women.” In the continuing evolution of the sport locally, the Saskatoon Roller Derby League will hold its first-ever tournament on May 14 and 15 at the Legends Centre in Warman. The event is being billed as the “Attack of the 8-Wheeled Woman.” The tournament features the local league’s top tiered team named Mindfox. Other teams slated to be in attendance include OCRD out of Edmonton, Gang Green from Brandon and the Sugar Skulls from Regina. The clubs are expected to face each other in a round-robin format. There will also be a junior game between the local Bridge City Bruisers and the Regina Juniors. The games begin at 11 a.m. on May 14, and all admissions will be donated to KidsSport. Currently in Saskatoon, there are two travel roller derby teams —Mindfox and the B-team, which is dubbed the Killa Bees. The two house league teams are the Parole Models and the Voodoo Vixens. Going forward, Langeler said there is

(Photo by Darren Steinke) a split in the roller derby community as to the direction the sport is going. She said some skaters now choose to just have their last name on the back of their derby uniform as opposed to a traditional colourful derby name. Langeler said there are still a lot of people that want to protect traditions like that one, but she feels skaters should feel free to go by whatever name they choose. She notes that times have changed.
“It is different now than it used to be,” said Langeler. “Now it has really developed a lot into more of like a sport.” Turner said the shifting focus towards the competitive aspect has been a natural progression. “There is huge movement to legitimize,” said Turner. “You pretty much have to like evolve with it.” For more information, visit saskatoonrollerderbyleague.ca

(Continued from page 14) $40,000 of his family members’ costs. In the summer of 2012, after being systematically rejected by more than two dozen of John Diefenbaker’s relatives, Dryden finally got a clue regarding the true identity of his biological father. Because Dief’s relatives refused to co-operate, a private investigator went dumpster diving in their trash, snagging an ear-wax-coated Q-Tip. Dryden says tests on his DNA and that on the Q-Tip came back positive for a genetic link. Dryden suspected John Diefenbaker was aware that he was his son. He told the CBC about meeting Diefenbaker for the first time on Parliament Hill, when he was nine years old. Dief seemed to stare at him for a long time, and then told George John, “You’re named for me.” Not satisfied with the ear wax evidence, Dryden turned to the Diefenbaker Centre at the University of Saskatchewan for help, requesting items from the archive, such as hair brushes or clothing, from which Diefenbaker DNA could be extracted for testing. Initially resistive, the centre finally relented, but it was eventually determined that the archives were too old, and had been too handled, to be of any use. Throughout the course of his search, Dryden learned he likely had at least one brother, who is deceased, as well as
a possible sister, both of whom claimed Diefenbaker was their dad. Just a few weeks ago, Dryden was able to connect with his brother’s sons, who live in Saskatoon. Together they visited the grave of the man who was likely their father and grandfather. Dryden died recently, the result of a terminal pancreatic disease he said was brought on by his alcoholism. Well, technically it was the result of his attempt to kill himself the day before, something he foreshadowed in an interview with The Canadian Press just a few days prior to his attempt. “I’m not going to be tied to machines,” he said. “I’ll take care of it myself.” Dryden’s life was undeniably tragic. The amount of rejection he endured was simply astounding, yet he continued to fight, right up until his death, for what he was owed: respect, and his heritage. In that, his legacy should inspire us all to remember we are each worthwhile, deserving individuals, and no one can take that away from us. According to The StarPhoenix, George’s last wish was for his little brother Barrie to know he was sorry, and that he “wanted to be buried in the Dryden family plot with both the names Dryden and Diefenbaker on his tombstone.” The Dryden family denied his request. He will rest elsewhere, on his own.

• The N.Y. Post says American Pharaoh is spending the first of his leisure years having sex about 200 times for $200,000 a pop. Remind me to call his retirement planner. • Tigers ace Justin Verlander and supermodel Kate Upton got engaged. One is known for devastating curves, the other pitches for Detroit.
• I’m thinking Cody Eakin’s series-tying OT goal for the Stars must have hit Blues enforcer Ryan Reaves right in the kisser.

Mayor’s role ranges from administrator to partnership creator
Question: You, like the councillors, count for only one vote. What do you do on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis that justifies your salary, which I currently believe is around $120,000? I don’t just want to hear that it’s determined by a percentage of a Saskatchewan cabinet minister’s salary. I want to know what you do to actually earn that amount of money, and if it’s value for Saskatoon. Mayor Atchison: I believe the mayor has many duties which include being an administrator, outlining a vision for the present and the future and community engagement with citizens. Another role is to create partnerships that create value for the entire community. Partnerships with other levels of government helped provide funding for major projects including the Circle Drive South Bridge — $98.5 million from the federal government and $98.5 million from the province. The Parkway Commuter Bridge/Traffic Bridge project received $66 million from the federal government and $50 million from the provincial government. The Civic Operations Centre project will receive up to $42.9 million from the federal government. We worked very hard with the federal government to create the funding model for the gas tax rebate which now provides millions of dollars to all cities in Canada. The provincial revenue sharing was another area in which we worked hard to create longterm sustainable funding for the citizens. I’m grateful to Premier Wall and his government for that 20 per cent of the PST. This year alone, Saskatoon will receive more than $40 million. Today, we are analyzing the potential for a new downtown entertainment/sports facility. We are also analyzing the costs and benefits of moving the CP Rail yards out of the city. The Growing Forward, Shaping
Saskatoon plan will guide our development to a city of half a million. There is an enormous upside if we get that right. And major risks if we don’t. We’re also in discussions with our regional partners to develop a Plan for Growth to a million people in the region. The last part is being out in the community, reassuring the community we have a strong, healthy economy. The ConferAsk the ence Board Canada and SREDA both report we have steady growth so I want people to know that. Question: Are people receiving smaller garbage cans than they once were? Mayor Atchison: In the future, you will be able to have smaller garbage cans, but it won’t be for more frequent pickup. The idea is to get people to recycle more. In the end what we need to do is make the statement as a council and a city that we will never build a new landfill site. When we get to that point and admit that’s our goal, all the other things we need to do to get there will fall into place much more easily. If they can do it in Berlin and in other cities around the world, why can’t we in Saskatoon? Question: City administration is proposing restrictions on large office buildings in industrial areas. The report indicates it’s to encourage office development downtown. What do you think of that idea? Mayor Atchison: Any conversation about the private sector should involve the private sector. I believe the administration should be talking with land developers, commercial office developers, Realtors, the BIDs, SREDA, the Chamber of Commerce, the NSBA and other interested parties. Investors, who have their own money
involved in major projects, should have some say in this. If they’re not happy with rules or policies, they’ll take their money and go elsewhere. That has proven true in Regina. One commercial Realtor said some office jobs actually left Regina and came to Saskatoon. I’m a big believer in incentives, rather than restrictions. One of the reasons for the increased vacancy rate in downMayor town Saskatoon right now is consolidation by the city. Several departments have given up leased space, and moved into the old post office building. That created empty office space. The Saskatoon Police Service moved to its new building. The old one is still vacant. Those are two of the reasons for the current vacancy rate. Question: There are times when a

crew out fixing potholes doesn’t do all of them on the street. What is the reason for this? Mayor Atchison: Utility cuts have one particular crew and they have a set of equipment they use. Then you have another crew that fixes potholes with different equipment. It is like having a flat tire on your car and saying all tires will fit all vehicles. It doesn’t work that way. And the same is true with this equipment. It is far more sophisticated. Some of the utility cuts need bigger equipment and the potholes require smaller equipment. Did You Know?
