Gordon Barnhart takes on Meewasin challenge

Ned Powers Saskatoon Express he history and values of the Meewasin Valley Authority (MVA) have already intertwined immeasurably in Gordon Barnhart’s life. Barnhart was the Clerk of the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly in 1979 when an act was passed to make the MVA a conservation agency and manager of the South Saskatchewan River basin and valley. It was guaranteed three-pronged funding by the province, the City of Saskatoon and the University of Saskatchewan. He attended the MVA’s Plant-A-Tree ceremonies during his days as lieutenant-governor, 2006 through 2012, and sat on Meewasin’s board when he was acting president of the university for 17 months during 2014 and 2015. Most of all, he has run, jogged and walked the trails for the years he’s lived in Saskatoon and still does. “We are all players in a big picture. We want people to be more understanding and appreciative of what they have. Conservationists love it. The trails are important for runners and cyclists. For those who come from outside to conferences in Saskatoon, it is a tourist attraction and serves as a big industry for the city and province,” said Barnhart. “Meewasin is a contradiction to how many Canadians envision us. “People from outside of Saskatchewan see us as occupants of flat prairie land, with few water resources. The truth is we have more lakes than we can count. Now as other Canadians come to Saskatoon to work and stay for major conferences, they see the South Saskatchewan River, the valley, the beauty and they enjoy the exercise trails.” To reinforce his message, Barnhart has taken on a new challenge as the volunteer chair of the Meewasin Fund Development cabinet. “My new role is to make people aware of our assets. If there are those who want to make financial contributions to the continuing programming, that will make the valley the best it can be.” Meewasin is headline news these days. The authority closed the interpretive centre on July 1 because of a budget squeeze. The centre requires $250,000 annually to operate seven days a week for 363 days of the year. They have been told funding from the province will undergo a review. (Continued on page 8)

Glorious garden in River Heights takes the prize Angie and Ron Skiba win the Home Grounds Competition Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express t’s raining, gently, as Angie Skiba takes a visitor on a tour of her awardwinning garden. Umbrella overhead, she points to some of the more unusual and beautiful plants, and stained glass garden art peeks through the green and the mist. Angie and Ron Skiba’s yard has won this year’s Saskatoon Horticultural Society’s Home Grounds Competition, and it’s a shame to see it under the gloom. Luckily, those taking the SHS’s grounds tour this weekend should be blessed with sunshine. “I grew up gardening with my mom,” she explains, about her route to expert gardener. “We lived on a farm, doing vegetables, and she loved her flowers and what have you. I started with that, and then once I quit working, I really got back into it.” Having lived in their River Heights home since the 1970s, it has taken years for the garden to grow into this kind of splendour. The Skibas really started gardening with intensity about 20 years ago. “At first, we did it a little bit at a time. We didn’t do it all at once; it’s kind of

It comes down for the summer…and I have grow lights downstairs, mostly for succulents.” Skiba is also a master gardener, having received her certificate from the University of Saskatchewan; and volunteers as well to keep her certification.

Native plants grow in profusion in winning yard

(Continued from page 3) he handles communications for the SHS, a non-profit organization that sponsors three scholarships. Skiba also teaches garden art during Hort Week at the University, including stained glass and hypertufa – pots made from natural materials that resemble concrete planters. Among the SHS’s goals is to encourage food gardening. (More about the SHS can be found at www.saskatoonhortsociety.ca.) “We try to get people back into vegetable gardening, because there’s nothing better than fresh vegetables and you’ve grown them yourself,” said Skiba. Here are a few of the plants Skiba points out in her garden: Milkweed: One of the plants she and the SHS are encouraging people to plant along with the Native Plant Society and the University of Saskatchewan, “because it’s being eradicated and it’s really hurting the monarchs. It is a non-invasive plant.” Brunnera or “Jack Frost”: This perennial has silver leaves and blooms with little blue flowers early in the spring. Snake root: A foliage plant with tall spikes of flowers, which come in different varieties, including a deep purple. Red Lady ferns: These are non-aggres-

sive ferns that form nice little clumps, and get their name from the red stem. Native honeysuckle: Good for bees. Enough said. Sour Cherry: Bred at the University of Saskatchewan, the sour cherry trees in the Skibas’ yard are 10 and five years old. Last year, the trees produced 140 pounds of fruit, which Angie turned into sauces, jams, pies and even a liqueur. “And we give a lot away,” added Ron. Flowers: Angie grows mostly perennials, and loves roses and lilies. The garden also is home to a giant eight-foot hosta, which must be seen to be appreciated. You’ll find a native Lady’s Slipper, monkshead, delphiniums, Joe Pye weed, and many more. Everything grows. The Skibas say it’s about the dirt value. “The dirt is so good,” said Ron. “When they say a plant is going to grow six inches high, we plant it in this yard and so help me God it ends up at two feet. It’s uncanny.” “When we brought topsoil in,” said Angie, “we got really good topsoil and lots of topsoil – probably 12 inches. “Over the years I’ve amended it with sheep manure, compost, and when I empty my hanging pots and all my potted plants,

A wide view of the backyard grown shows the variety of plants grown by the Skibas. (Photo supplied)

I put my old soil into the gardens with the peat moss mix and that sort of thing. Over the years, that’s really helped the soil.” The Skibas won the Saskatoon Horticultural Society’s annual best garden award 10 years ago, but the yard, they say, has changed a great deal over the last 10 years. They love spending time in the garden, and are often found enjoying the screened-in sitting area near the back of

the yard…after all that work. “It’s good exercise too,” noted Ron. “That keeps us fit,” agreed Angie. You can see the Skiba winning garden on the SHS tour July 23. Tickets available at both Early’s locations and at Dutch Growers. Another tour of country gardens is being planned for Aug. 6; tickets available at Early’s Lorne Avenue location and Dutch Growers.

Mandala meets artifact Archaeologist finds creative inspiration in India

Keenan Sorokan Saskatoon Express

nimal skulls lying in fields across the province don’t have much of an endearing quality to them. They stink, are mindless and can outright scare the crap out of you. Ashley Pearse is preying on those sentiments. An archaeologist by trade, Pearse, who operates under the moniker Ashley Sophia, is an emerging Saskatoon artist who creates works of art from these old artifacts. She has blended her love of archaeology and mandala art to create truly unique skulls you won’t be able to find in a field near you. “I wanted to take the archaeology side of me and combine it with the mandalas. I just thought the combination of the two were such a great fit,” Pearse says with a smile, looking at the creations in her Saskatoon home. Excavations took her to places like Macedonia and Cyprus, yet it was a trip to India in 2013 that really inspired the art she creates. There she discovered her love of the culture and especially the art, taking a liking to the numerous mandalas that flourish throughout Indian temples. LS907328.J07 Liza

This is all a part of a path that Pearse thought she would never pursue. A coworker asked her to decorate a bear skull for a Christmas present, and that favour turned into a 55-hour project. She was hooked. Since then, she has worked on pieces that take anywhere from five to 80 hours. It’s not the type of story you expect to hear from the daughter of an agronomist and seed analyst raised on a rural Tisdale farm. An only child until the age of 12, Pearse had lots of time to herself on the family farm. She would often go exploring the lands to see what she could come up with, even though her father was only trying to get her to pick rocks. “I was interested in plants, but I was more interested in stories from things I would find in the field,” she said. “ I would always find skulls in the field, and arrowheads and bits of pottery.” Pearse left Tisdale for the University of Regina after high school and after switching paths and jobs numerous times, she finally decided to take the plunge and become an archaeologist, graduating from the University of Saskatchewan in 2013. She clung to painting and drawing as

Ashley Pearse combines her love of art with Saskatchewan’s archeological past. (Photo by Keenan Sorokan) a form of therapy after health problems forced her away from her work. Suspected Crohn’s disease, as well as severe depression and anxiety have made the mandalas all the more comforting. As she struggles to manage constant tests, bouts of dizziness and fainting spells, Pearse works on her art to calm and relax her. “The skulls have become my healing therapy,” she says. “I was getting sick almost every day.” Pearse adds the legalities and ethics aren’t so straightforward. Each skull has to have an accompanying permit from Environment Canada. She teams up with Skull ‘N BonesAaron Services in Grandora to AS071814

find a working, ethical supply of skulls for her work. She also brought in skulls from Montana and recently began working on South African ostrich eggs to display her mandalas. This route turns these otherwise discarded objects into displayed beauty. Pearse’s work will be available for purchase at the PotashCorp Fringe Festival and is also available online through her Instagram page (essence.of.ash) and her personal website essenceofash.com. Animal skulls may be commonplace to Saskatchewan’s landscape, but this spin on them certainly is not. “Nature is not perfect, so I don’t want my mandalas to look perfect.”

MVA trails attract a million users annually

(Continued from page 1) oddi Steelman, chair of the board of directors, Lloyd Isaak, the executive director, board members and members of Saskatoon’s city council are putting up substantial arguments, asking the government to maintain its funding of $740,000 or increase it. A group called Keep Meewasin Vital is asking Saskatonians to demonstrate support for Meewasin and it aims to get 2,500 people to submit letters and about 1,000 to use Facebook and Twitter in the campaign. The city provides in-kind maintenance ofJW071803 $1 million a year and gave an additional James $250,000 in funds last year but the statutory formula, established in 1979, has remained

virtually unchanged. MVA’s reserve funds are almost depleted. About 50 per cent of Meewasin funding comes from special project grants and private donors and sponsors. Before undertaking his new role, Barnhart wanted to look at some specific areas. He visited Saskatoon’s Northeast Swale, a channel adjacent to the river and one of the largest pieces of unbroken prairie/riparian forest/wetland areas in the region. The swale is home to several rare and endangered plant and animal species. “The day I went there, a naturalist told me he’d seen 26 grouses, never so many on a given day. Saskatchewan has lost more than 80 per cent of its native prairie and the grasslands are one of the most imperilled

ecosystems. We need to protect the area,” said Barnhart. He also went to the Beaver Creek Conservation area. “Beaver Creek is a wonderful opportunity for children to see birds, beavers, plants and enjoy paddling in canoes. That’s where you see nature as it truly is,” Most people recognize the MVA for its 56 kilometres of trails, which attract a million runners, walkers and cyclists a year. The trail is considered a flagship of the MVA and has been chosen as one of the top 10 trails in Canada. “The city has done a tremendous job in helping with the maintenance of the trails. But our climate wreaks havoc on the trails.

We suffer from our own success because we want the trails to be user-friendly. The heaviest usage is from River Landing to the weir and it is necessary to widen some of that part of the trail.” With the success also comes the need to keep the areas clean. “We had 30,000 participate in a clean-up during the month of April. The schoolchildren were provided with gloves and bags by Affinity Credit Union. The clean-up crews are terrific. As a user, I get frustrated to see the garbage on the ground, especially when there are lots of receptacles which are emptied regularly.” One of his favourite projects is the PlantA-Tree program, which also includes memorial forests and bench and brick programs. “I have attended many of the dedication ceremonies. It is a bittersweet day for many. There is a moment of sadness because people use the trees to commemorate the loss of a loved one. But there is some happiness, too, because the ceremony helps celebrate a person’s life, honour a birthday or graduation and other special events in life.” Barnhart knows the value of the benches. He chose a bench close the Diefenbaker Centre in the fall of 2014 to propose to Naomi, whom he married the following January.

Inconsistent traffic, parking policies will drive us to distraction

ELAINE HNATYSHYN

BID wants to continue with 90-minute and two-hour zones. What happens if you plug the parking station for three hours in a three-hour downtown zone and a half hour later move to Riversdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 90-minute zone? Are you going to be flagged by a parking attendant and then ticketed after 90 minutes even if you have time left from your initial parking purchase? And when did a BID start making the rules or have to approve the rules around parking? Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job? Then again, if you purchase parking in a 90-minute zone and an hour later move your vehicle to a three-hour zone, you cannot add to your time limit without losing the time you have already paid for. (What happened to the initial plan where you could add to your parking time using a cellphone app?) The purpose of traffic laws should not be to generate revenue, but to safeguard the public from careless drivers. Issuing traffic tickets is a price drivers pay for poor driving. If you drive through a school zone over the posted 30 km/h speed limit, you deserve the ticket; this traffic law is consistent and applies city-wide. And we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem with ticketing speeders and red light runners because,

again, the law applies city wide and is there to safeguard citizens. What we should have a problem with are inconsistent traffic enforcement practices that are designed to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;cash cowsâ&#x20AC;? for their municipalities. Their intent is not to improve driving habits or safeguard a community, but to generate revenue for government coffers. Speaking of cash cows, will undercover traffic cops be coming to our city soon? Regina has introduced this already. A police officer stands on the street wearing a nondescript sign board observing traffic. When he sees someone commit a traffic violation, he/she radios a police car waiting down the road and the driver is pulled over and issued the ticket. It is stated that by making the police invisible they are able to catch more traffic offenders because drivers use more caution when police are visible. How can this be viewed as anything but a cash grab? The majority of us are law abiding citizens, respectful of the laws and we try hard not to offend. Is it asking too much of those creating and enforcing the laws to reciprocate? ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

not what he wants to smell when he gets his juice in the morning. When he moved in, we washed the cupboards out with a cleaner, hoping to remove the smell, but it is still very noticeable. Do you have any suggestions? — Thanks, Kate Dear Kate, There are several options for cleaning cupboards both inside and out. Begin with the easiest and work your way up to more aggressive solutions. Combine Dawn dish soap and water, and use a non-scratching abrasive cloth to scrub wood along the grain. Or clean cupboards with Murphy’s Oil Soap, scrub and rinse. Or use the following ‘Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard Cleaner’ recipe: Combine 1 to 2 cups vinegar, 1 cup ammonia (optional), half a cup of baking soda and 2 gallons of water. Cover hands with rubber gloves and draw a small amount onto a sponge, then wipe each cupboard (along the grain to prevent streaking). Apply olive oil once a month to protect wood. Apply car wax every six months, let dry and buff; test all solutions on an inconspicuous area first. If the smell persists, lightly sand and then clean with ‘Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard Cleaner’ recipe. More serious options are to paint or stain inside cupboards or apply MACtac as

shelf liners, but you will likely not need to resort to these. Dear Reena, In my last apartment my sofa bed was against an outer wall and I did notice that as the weather warmed there was a musty odour. I chalked this up to the fact that the upholsterer had made the skirt too long and air was not circulating underneath. I changed the fabriccovered mattress for a plastic-covered one and sprayed the entire sofa with Febreze and eventually Nil Odor. The item has been on an inner wall for almost five years and I notice the same odour when the outside temperature rises. The bed has only been pulled out for use on less than 20 occasions during the many years I have had it. I air it out every summer when the specific aroma reminds me to do so. I hope you can give me a quick response before my wool carpet is also affected. — Thank you, Max Dear Max, Airing the sofa out is a good idea because it sounds as though mould grew or is growing somewhere inside the sofa bed, perhaps in the mattress.

(Continued from page 10) In my opinion, commercial air freshener sprays mask odours for a while but don’t actually clean. Have the bed professionally steam cleaned or rent a steam cleaner. With regards to the skirt not allowing air to travel underneath the sofa, this seems unlikely because most textiles are at least somewhat breathable and air should be able to travel in and out. You may want to consider storing thin piles of newspaper inside the sofa when the bed is closed. This helps absorb odours and moisture. Replace newspapers once a month. If you notice other areas in your home being affected by high humidity, consider purchasing a dehumidifier.

He has apologized before and then just carries on with his rudeness. He has talked about my weight, insulted my hairdo and teases me about no man ever wanting me. These things are hurtful and I just don’t know what to do. I don’t want to stop my friendship with Susan. I really like her. How would you handle it? —Nancy Dear Nancy, I imagine his words are very hurtful. Standing up to him is your best bet. If you explain to him that his apology doesn’t mean anything to you unless there is a change made he might reconsider his behaviour, but it is unlikely. Truthfully, he sounds like a bully who may be jealous or threatened by your relationship with his wife. If it is possible to ignore him, that would be best. I’m surprised his wife doesn’t call him on his behaviour unless she is bullied by him as well. This also may be his warped sense of humour that certainly isn’t funny — unless of course you just start laughing at him when he pulls the next stunt. I would refrain from bringing it up to her because you don’t want to make her feel she needs to take sides.

Up on the roof: U of S ag profs plant big garden

“I would say they are remarkable considering how late they (went) in,” said Knight. “We have tomatoes, peppers; we have harvested a batch of lettuce, and Joel has replanted for another crop of lettuce. “We have harvested a few cucumbers already. I would say it’s doing remarkably well.” The garden project is intended to promote sustainable agricultural practices and urban farming, and the model seems to uphold those values. First, the produce is sold to Culinary Services, which is in charge of all the food services on campus – for students, faculty and staff to purchase. Culinary Services will collect the organic waste, which then goes to the groundskeeper, who dehydrates the organic matter, said Knight. “They dehydrate the organic matter and it gets composted at Facilities Management,” she explained. “Then we use the compost (on the garden)…so it’s a closed circle.” Also an interesting part of the process was that the head of Culinary Services met with

Ag professor Grant Wood waters the vegetables on the roof top garden (Photo supplied) Grant Wood early on, and the two of them decided what plants they would grow, “so they had some input into that,” said Knight. “Most of the crops we are growing are higher value crops or easily grown crops, but also some that (Culinary Services) couldn’t access through their normal distributors.”

An example of that is Thai basil, with a licorice bite to it. Knight said it was Wood’s idea. She and Wood had a similar setup on top of the stadium parkade on College Drive in 2014, with Wood asking for Knight’s involvement as a soil scientist. (Continued on page 17)

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express hese are salad days for the University of Saskatchewan. On a rooftop between the Agriculture and Biology buildings, vegetables are growing vigorously. Eating the produce, and that yet to come, are the people of the campus who are regularly fed by the university’s Culinary Services. The garden was planted in the second week of June – perhaps a bit later than most gardens – as the Agriculture and Bioresources professors in charge of the project worked through the necessary authorizations. “The first thing we had to do is get an engineering report to see how much load our rooftop could take,” said soil sciences professor Diane Knight in an interview. “Then we had to get water installed and a safety protocol in place.” Meanwhile, professor Grant Wood and Joel Campbell, who was hired to take care of the garden, started the plants off-site so they were able to transplant them.

Hospice golf tourney to support end-of-life services

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express eople volunteering for the Prairie Hospice Society can’t walk on water, but it sure seems like they can. Society volunteer co-ordinator Eileen Klassen says it takes special people to spend time with those approaching death. The society, which presently has 50 clients, will be looking to add to its volunteer base in the fall. To meet the needs of those clients and to add more services, the society is constantly in a fundraising mode. Its major event of the year is a golf tournament, which will be held on Aug. 15. “We don’t get any government funding,” board chair Kathryn Ford said. “We have been very fortunate to be supported financially by the Community Foundation and the United Way.” She said the United Way was a onetime grant — the hospice society is not a core grantee. She said many charitable foundations and individuals have stepped up over the years. “We’ve been very fortunate with that, but (fundraising is) a constant occupation for the board of this organization.” The society has two half-time volunteer co-ordinators and an administrative assistant. Klassen was asked what type of person makes a good volunteer. “You have to walk on water,” she said with a laugh. “What I look for is somebody who has a real interest in working with people who are at the end of their life. And that’s definitely not for everybody. They need to be passionate without being sympathetic, although that can be a fine line sometimes. Hopefully they are quite available. We ask for a commitment of four hours a week.” Klassen said the volunteers know the outcome when they are paired with a client. “They go into the work knowing their client is going to die and knowing it is going to be difficult for them. Rick (Schellenberg, the other volunteer co-ordinator) and I are there to provide support afterwards. We don’t want them to jump into another volunteer situation right away. We don’t decide on a time; they need to decide on a time, but we discuss that before we go back into it.” Volunteers take a 30-hour training program — spread over three weekends — before being partnered with a client. Typically, a volunteer would do such things as take clients on outings: appointments, out for coffee or grocery shopping or to a library. “It can be just sitting quietly and being a companion,” Ford said. “It could be talking about things that are important to them or watching movies, playing games.” She said a common denominator among clients is the need for transportation. It is so vital that earlier this year the society introDC071848 Darlene duced a pilot project called Hospice Now.

“We are trying to respond to urgent needs,” Ford said. Those needs often involve a ride to an appointment on short notice. People have called at 9 a.m. to find a ride for a 1 p.m. appointment. The hospice tries to find a driver tout de suite. “We can’t always do that, but boy our volunteers are just second to none,” Klassen said. The city is in need of a hospice residence, Ford said, but it isn’t at the top of her wish list. “It’s fairly low down because we want to maintain our (current) Hospice Without Walls program. We want to see how this pilot goes with Hospice Now.” She said she would like to have a day program to provide respite to caregivers, and to provide grief and bereavement counselling to the family members of the deceased. She said St. Paul’s Hospital has the go-ahead from the health region to do a residential hospice. Ford said she has heard 2018 is the target date. “We are hoping to work with them so we continue to be the community outreach aspect of hospice services.” She said Prairie Hospice’s outreach would likely extend into the residential hospice. The next round of volunteer training will be held on three consecutive weekends beginning Oct. 22-23. Those wishing to volunteer must attend all six sessions. You don’t have to walk on water. The second annual Prairie Hospice Society Golf Classic will be held Aug. 15 at the Saskatoon Golf and Country Club. There will be a shotgun start at 1 p.m. The cost is $250 per golfer and $1,000 for a team. For more information, visit prairiehospice.org.

Alex Tagliani stresses food allergy awareness ahead of Saskatoon stop

Keenan Sorokan Saskatoon Express lex Tagliani has endured plenty of hardships in his racing career, yet the most trying times have happened outside of his 400 km/h-capable racecars. “It’s funny because the racecar is not the most dangerous thing,” said Tagliani via cellphone from Toronto traffic. “Having an anaphylactic reaction is the most dangerous thing. It’s like drowning.” Nicknamed Tag, the decorated driver will be stopping in Saskatoon on July 27 for the Prairie Thunder Velocity 250 at Wyant Group Raceway. It’s another stop on the NASCAR Pinty’s Series, and the premier racing event in the province. Tagliani has coupled the stop with his awareness campaign — in conjunction with Food Allergy Canada — called “Summer of Tag,” an initiative where he will be promoting allergy and food label awareness while also accepting non-perishable food items ahead of races across the country. All donations go directly towards local food banks with food items being accepted at a front gate booth inside Wyant Group Raceway beginning at 5 p.m. on race day. “It’s killing two birds with one stone,” said Tagliani. “Giving back to the community by providing food to people in need. More than 860,000 people are using these facilities across the country every month.” Tagliani has had numerous terrifying crashes on the track, but his anaphylactic reactions have caused him the most terror in his life. In 1997, Tagliani was at an Indianapolis restaurant when a reaction began and he realized his EpiPen was left in the rental car. Before Tagliani could retrieve it, he collapsed in the CP90552.H17 Chenise parking lot and was intubated right on site. Karen KK071821

Alex Tagliani will be at Wyant Group Raceway on July 27 (Photo supplied)

“I needed air and nothing was coming in, so I panicked and screamed ‘Call 911!’ Right after I injected myself in the leg, I collapsed.” He was put into an artificial coma for 72 hours after that incident, making these promotional events hit close to home. On the racetrack, Tagliani has enjoyed some favourable success this year. He competed in his eighth Indy 500 in May, the 100th running of the prestigious race, and was pole sitter for the 100th anniversary of the event in 2011. The dates don’t coincide due to the event being paused during world wars. Searching for the elusive top prize in racing remains at the top of Tagliani’s bucket list. “After 127 (of 200) laps we were in the lead with a lot of pace and a lot of speed,” he said, speaking of this year’s Indy 500. “I come in for a pit stop and as soon as I leave the pit, yellow comes out. We went from (position) one to dead last.” Tagliani is excited about his return to Saskatoon. His two other appearances gave him finishes of fifth in 2014 and seventh last year. This time around, he is confident about his chances of ending the night atop the podium. “I’m actually quite excited for this particular track. The last two ovals, we had the car to beat.” Alex Nagy, series director of the NASCAR Pinty’s Series, is expecting a tight race from start to finish. “The track in Saskatoon is definitely one of the best oval tracks we go to,” he said, speaking of the close races in past trips to Saskatoon. “They’re gonna be sliding around. They’re gonna be bumping and banging. I don’t think we’ve had anyone run away with an event there.” For more information, visit www.wyantgroupraceway.ca.

We are working on the Plan for Growth with Martensville, Warman, Osler and the RM of Corman Park. So there are lots of benefits to this arrangement. Why would you want to build more sewage treatment plants when one plant can treat everyone? I believe the rates and costs will be in line as well. It is not going to cost the taxpayers of Saskatoon anything. We believe the rates we will charge Martensville are in line as well.

I want to make it perfectly clear to everyone the Parkway Bridge is capable of handling 18 wheelers, but this is not a bypass or a truck route. It has been reported by some that the bridge can’t handle heavy vehicles. That is not true. It will handle buses, it will handle fire trucks and it will handle moving vans that go from one end of the city to the other. It is not a highway. It is not a high-speed bridge. It is for local traffic, not highway traffic. If you are moving your office from Marquis Industrial to Evergreen, or vice versa, the bridge can certainly handle it. But it’s not meant to take you from the Question: Can you give us an update north industrial area to Regina.

In fact, the report states that the GTH, an inland port on the middle of the bald prairie, did not have a clear land acquisition strategy, almost five years after the project was formally launched. No word from the auditor in the report, however, on the appropriateness of any of this. I think the fact that the GTH minister allegedly didn’t have faith in the GTH might have warranted more than one line inRM071899 an audit of the GTH, no? Ryan

There’s a fundamental difference between what was asked for and what was investigated, and that should have been made clear from the moment the report was released, which is how you ended up with headlines like “Auditor’s report clears province ...” and the GTH “Didn’t do a good job” and “paid too much.” We knew all that already. Had the Saskatchewan Auditor’s office done what was asked in the first place, we’d know a hell of a lot more.

(Continued from page 12) hat involved experimentation with the best soil-like media and best containers to use. Last year, Wood and Campbell added to their knowledge at one of the community gardens, and tried using the containers now being used on the rooftop garden – big, blue barrels donated by Bioriginal Food & Science Corp., and cut in half into planters. The growing medium is not regular soil, which is too heavy for the roof, but a peaty medium. The containers sit on donated wooden pallets, but the profs had to buy the seed and fertilizer. The garden is visible from an aboveground walkway between the Agriculture and Biology buildings, where cooling condensers once were located. “So we have these flat, hideously ugly

rooftops that thousands of people walk by every day,” said Knight. “The idea was to bring this here partly as a beautification project, and it’s a tool for Grant to use in his urban agriculture class.” Also, though, “it’s a demonstration to show people that not only rooftop gardening, but any kind of container gardening, is accessible to anyone in the city,” said Knight. Knight said she does not know if anyone else is doing this exact model, in terms of a rooftop garden feeding a major institution and closing the food-waste cycle. And, most rooftop gardens tend to be set up right on the roof, not in containers, so it may be somewhat unique. Even if it isn’t, Knight said that Wood is predicting 15 to 30 pounds of tomatoes per half barrel, when the harvest comes in.

Another story no one would believe happened in Northern Saskatchewan. I was asked to volunteer to travel with a group of students from the inner city, members of the Saskatoon Police Service and other community members. The students were not “troubled” youth but rather students who were chosen by their schools as good students. This was an awesome program and too bad it was cut out of the budget. The group consisted of maybe a dozen students, maybe six police officers and another five or so volunteers. The plan was to canoe the Churchill River and camp out on one of the many islands. On one island we were surrounded by small waterfalls and a huge one that rose maybe five storeys high. One evening, one of the police officers asked me to go for a walk. We walked to the giant waterfalls and were amazed by the river’s strength. We were looking at the falls when we heard a motor. “That can’t be coming down the river,” the cop said. We waited and sure enough, we saw a couple of young First Nations boys on the boat headed straight for the AS071807 Aaron

falls. We started to wave our arms to warn them; they smiled and waved back. The officer and I quickly ran down the hill, only to be met by the boys. They made it all the way down those falls without rolling over. “That’s nothing,” one of the boys said. “We even go up the falls.” Of course, the cop and I didn’t believe them. There’s no way anyone could make it going up the falls. They then wanted to prove it. They backed up a long way and headed straight for the falls. They were riding a long, skinny boat, with just enough room to squeeze into. They were going up the falls with the boat being banged around the rocks and edges. Just before they reached the top, the kid in the front fell out of the boat. The one in the back operating the motor grabbed the one that just fell off and threw him right back into the boat without missing a beat. As they made their way up the river, they turned around and waved at us. The officer and I just stood there, frozen, not believing what we just saw. This is a story no one would ever believe, except I had an eyewitness. A cop, no less. KNCREE@gmail.com
