Charlie Clark Saskatoon can be the city that got it right

Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express harlie Clark says Saskatoon can be the city of the future, the city that really got it right. However, we’re at a tipping point, where leaders have to manage growth properly, address crime co-operatively, focus on the basics and embrace diversity, the mayoral candidate said in an interview last week. Clark described a meaningful encounter with a Saskatoon citizen that really stayed with him, and helped him illustrate his views and policy. “Our opportunity is, we still have a sense of community in Saskatoon,” said Clark. “One example is that at a recent coffee event, I was talking to a gentleman who has been here for three years, from India. “He visited a bunch of cities (Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria among them) and he wanted to walk around these cities and get a feeling for what they were like. He spent four or five days in each city. JW100308 James

Saskatoon still has a sense of community, says mayoral candidate Charlie Clark. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) “He said that there (were) two big things that made him decide Saskatoon was the place for his family.” One was that in a lot of other cities, he perceived that ethnic communities were living in isolation from one another and not being integrated into the wider city. “He also said, that when he came to Saskatoon, he walked from J.J. Thiessen Crescent to Kinsmen Park along the Meewasin Trail,” said Clark. “As he walked

along the trail, people made eye contact with him, and smiled. He didn’t experience that when he went to the other cities. “And that’s because we still have a sense of community in Saskatoon. We have issues, no question. We have racism, and we have divisions that still exist. But we also have a sense of community and people want to feel connected to one another in this city. “As we grow and become more

diverse, to me a very exciting part of the next chapter . . . is how do we do that in a way where everyone has a sense of belonging?” The 10-year city councillor, married with three children, decided to enter the mayoral race partly out of frustration with the way some things are being handled, and partly out of a strong motivation to lead Saskatoon into its future.

Men and women who care are giving back to Saskatoon

askatoon’s reputation as a caring community has suddenly received an amazing shot in the arm. Using a model embraced at 350 chapters elsewhere in Canada and the United States, three groups —100 Men Who Give a Damn, 100 Women Who Care and 100 Kids Who Care — have taken shape and are already producing remarkable returns for charitable organizations in need. For the two adult groups, the formula is simple. Members are signed up on the promise they’ll give $100 at each of four meetings during the year. When members assemble, they hear presentations from three charities and then choose the one they will support. The People annual cost of $400 is relatively painless. Barry Willick, his wife Shelley, and their children, Nathan and Courtney, lit the fire for the launching of the adult groups in Saskatoon. “Nathan and I were visiting Alberta on a business trip when we discovered a care program was in existence there,” said Barry. “When we came back to Saskatoon, we wanted to know if there was something similar available. There wasn’t. We contacted a

Happily there were allowances to put your own spin on the project. That’s why we went with a slightly edgier name than some of the others. We began calling our friends, throwing out the concept and the response was very good.” “It was a really cool idea, we had the facility (Fionn MacCool’s Pub and Restaurant) where we could be hosts of the meetings,” Nathan added. “For those who signed up, it was a matter of them giving just a little more than a dollar a day.” They recruited 72 men for the first meeting in February 2016. “Each man comes with a cheque, they make out the cheque to the charity we choose and they get tax receipts in return. The charities must have a base in Saskatoon and be locally managed and they can’t be nationally funded. That keeps all the money in our community. There aren’t any directors, no boards of directors, no bank accounts, all plain and simple management,” said Barry. Not to be out-done, Shelley and Court-

ney jumped into action. “We know women don’t always have time and resources to give to a service organization. The time crunch with us comes down to arrangements on the day before the meeting and what happens at the meeting. We have a chance to give back to the community,” said Shelley. They contacted two other women, Carlene Holowaty and Roxanne Frey, and from an organization of four they got the women’s group rolling. “We talked to everyone we knew, arranged a Facebook group and we had over 200 attend our first meeting in May.” Courtney said. “From a woman’s viewpoint, even for younger ones, the cost of $100 a time is very doable. They can make charity a priority.” The proof is in the early results. The men donated $7,200 to the YWCA Crisis Centre in February, $13,000 to the Egadz Youth Centre in June and $13,300 to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Saskatoon in September. With its money, Egadz bought a badly-needed truck and, for good

measure, put the 100 Men logo on it. The next meeting will be Dec. 5. The women donated $20,600 to the Hands On Outreach and Developmental Centre in May and $26,400 to the Saskatoon Sexual Assault and Information Centre in August. Their next meeting is Nov. 7. The 100 Kids Who Care donate $10 each at their meeting. They chose to send their first gift of $1,700 to the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan. With the word out, the membership totals and the momentum are building. “Prior to our second meeting, there were 53 organizations who made applications. All the names go into a draw and three come out. Each of the three sends a speaker and they are given five minutes to make a sales pitch. Each meeting is so amazing, so emotional and there is energy in the room,” said Courtney. “There are a lot of charities that exist that most of us have never known about. It is a learning and caring experience,” Shelley added. (Continued o page 4)

HAVING A COMPANY

Xmas PARTY?

There were a couple of good and apparently impromptu moments, perhaps the best from Atchison. When responding to the question about his vision for Saskatoon, he responded that his vision did not include the bike lanes on Fourth Avenue, to laughter and agreement from the business audience, which I’m quite sure roundly loathes those lanes. But when candidates just talk about their platforms, and there is no mechanism for question and rebuttal as with a true debate, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish between their planks. See “growth,” above. You could argue, based on the forum, that the three main candidates have similar views on that score. The devil, or the angel, is in the details. So, onward. The StarPhoenix is holding what’s billed as an actual debate at the Broadway Theatre on Oct. 11, 7:30 p.m. Proving that people are hungry for democratic discourse, the event “sold out” in six minutes. Six minutes. That’s like a mini Garth Brooks concert (although I’ll grant you 440 seats is hard to compare to 15,000, but still. The seats, by the way, were free, but had to be booked.) A quick call to the SP established that questions will be asked by a panel, and there will be opportunities for responses and rebuttals. We need actual debate in this election. It is an important one, and there are contenders for the mayor’s chair. Then, we need to vote.

Giving is a family endeavour

(Continued from page 3) f a charity isn’t successful in the first round, they can re-apply after abstaining from the next two. What pushes a family like the Willicks to be so involved? “Both Shelley and I grew up in small towns. We didn’t seem to have much money but we never considered ourselves to be poor. We learned to support those who needed help,” said Barry, who grew up in Marcelin. Shelley, who grew up in Mortlach, said, “it was always about helping the rink committee, the church, while being raised in a family that had concerns about others.” The decision to join was easy for Courtney and Nathan. “Just look across the table and see what our parents are doing and that’s good reason for Courtney and I to be involved,” said Nathan. The Willicks operate Fionn MacCool’s, a franchised Irish pub and restaurant at 355 Second Ave. South. They serve lunch and dinner, then become a home to many traditional Irish events. There is live music later in the evening.

MARKET MALL – ’80s Saskatoon shoppers continued to flock to Market Mall into the 1980s and mall management was forced to grow with the times and expand. So an additional 35,000 square-feet of retail space was added in 1982 allowing the city’s first enclosed shopping mall to add 23 new stores. But the biggest change was with one of its original 1966 anchor tenants, Safeway. The grocery giant doubled its existing space in an effort to serve its growing customer base. As the city’s east-side growth ballooned, Safeway recognized it would have to expand to meet demands. It didn’t take long before mall management decided to add more space to handle growth requirements. Five years later, in 1987, Market Mall expanded an additional 45,000 sq.-ft. to the northwest and added 35 more stores. What was remarkable in this expansion was the addition of the gourmet food court, a first for Market Mall. It offered a mixed selection of food options for mall patrons with both locally and nationally owned businesses and franchises. Now shoppers could stop and relax, pickup a snack and then continue on their shopping journey. The mall also underwent a dramatic and major facelift that gave shoppers a more of a relaxed atmosphere in which to go about their business that encouraged mall-goers to “shop and stay awhile.” This was a major step forward in the creation of a sense of community for the mall and its patrons. It started to become a gathering place for people of all ages where people could come together not just for shopping, but as a meeting place. Parents now could bring their children along and they could meet their friends as the mall contained stores for all ages. It was soon apparent this was a winning formula for Market Mall and was a sign of things to come.

Boxing promoter joins brain injury association in fundraiser

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ennis Page and Elizabeth Hummel know the devastation of brain injuries. Page’s brother, Gregory, suffered a brain injury during a boxing match in 2001. Hummel is the executive director of the Saskatchewan Association of the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured (SARBI). She sees people living with brain injuries every day, including one with a bullet lodged in his head and another who was poisoned by an ex-girlfriend. Page and SARBI are joining forces for a boxing fundraising event on Oct. 22 at Prairieland Park. Page, a Saskatoon boxing trainer and owner of Page Professional Sports, said his brother’s injury was a tragic eye-opener. Gregory Page was the heavyweight boxing champion of the world for six months in 1984-1985. He died in 2009. “When I went back to help him in Kentucky, his wife and their kids didn’t have any idea where to go and what to do and all of that. What happened is I started doing all their research and found out about the brain injury rehab association. “After Gregory passed away and I came back to Saskatoon, I started looking for the same type of organization that I can be involved in because I saw how they work with the families and how they can help the client. I searched these guys out and wanted to be part of what they are doing.” Page, who is now on SARBI’s board of directors, said he became frustrated as he tried to find the help Gregory needed. “When we did work on accessing the information (in Kentucky), the people

were rude and intimidating and nasty. When I met Elizabeth and the guys here in SARBI, it was completely different.” Hummel said she hopes the boxing event next month will raise the profile of her organization, as well as money so more people can access the service. “It is very difficult for a small agency such as ours to put on big fundraisers because all our efforts go to providing service to our client base.” SARBI is dedicated to providing psychosocial rehabilitation and recreational services for acquired brain injury survivors. SARBI currently has 75 participants. “Things like what Dennis is doing will make a big difference.” She said about half of the agency’s funding comes through a program with Saskatchewan Government Insurance. The rest, approximately $175,000, has to be raised. Volunteers are critical to keeping the program functioning. Hummel has seen a lot of sadness through her work at SABRI. “Brain injuries leave families and individuals broken and often leave them quite impoverished. Unless you have a motor vehicle crash or work-related incident or there was some kind of litigation involved, you’re generally going to be quite poor. That is a really sad and horrible thing for people. They lose their homes and often their behaviours are changed. They aren’t the same person they once were. They lose their families. “SARBI provides a place to belong and a place to be understood. People with acquired brain injuries sometimes have people shy back from them. But where I work, we have a very understanding, warm environment.”

Elizabeth Hummel, executive director of the Saskatchewan Association of the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured, and Saskatoon boxing promoter Dennis Page have joined forces for an Oct. 22 fundraiser. Page’s brother, Greg, was once the world heavyweight champion. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) She said programming is provided to help people regain their social skills and their ability to interact. “We take them out into the community so we can all enjoy things in the community together.” Page will never get over his younger brother’s death. Gregory was fighting for a paltry $1,500 in December 2001 in Erlanger, Kentucky. At 42, he was well past his prime. He was hit hard in the final 10 seconds of the 10-round bout and fell to the floor of the ring. There wasn’t an ambulance nearby nor paramedics at the match. The doctor, unlicensed in Kentucky, had left the building and had to be brought back. It took 22 minutes, every one of them precious, for an ambulance to arrive. Despite his personal loss, Page has

maintained his love of the sport. He says boxing is safe when protocols are followed. For example, boxers are automatically suspended after every fight. “It gives your body time to recover from everything it has gone through. When a guy gets suspended, he can’t box, he can’t come to the gym, he can’t run, and he can’t skip. He can’t do any of those things. What we try to do with our boxers is say, ‘OK listen, we need to do everything we can to stay safe.’ “The last instructions that the referee gives a boxer — the last instruction a boxer receives — is to protect yourself at all times. So we do all of those things, and the general public is not aware of the things that take place at a boxing event. We follow the protocol.” (Continued on page 7)

And it is amazing the level of safety and protocols that keep the boxers safe,” she said. “From our standpoint, if you are intentionally working on safety, we embrace that.” She said there is no cure for a brain injury. “The only thing is to provide the service and (education) to prevent the injury.

What is the most important issue facing Saskatoon?

leadership means making the right choice, not the easy one. We must keep businesses in Saskatoon and work even harder to attract new ones. In both instances, we will create good-paying jobs. Employment drives the economy. In turn, a good job gives you a sense of hope and a feeling of security that leads to a successful and prosperous community.

Future of our community depends on your vote

Jason Yochim President, Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce s CEO of the Saskatoon Region Association of REALTORS®, and now the president of the board of the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce, I’ve had a chance to work with people from all walks of life in our city – those who work every day to make this a great city to live, work and run a business. With the municipal election taking place on Oct. 26, now is your chance to help shape your community. In my role as chamber president, I am taking this opportunity to emphasize the importance of making the right choice for those who will represent our city as councillors and mayor for the next four years. There are several ways to be informed on where the candidates stand regarding issues that directly impact a businessfriendly environment such as taxation, infrastructure and development. Your candidates for city council will be providing information and insight through forums, door-to-door visits and online through social media. The greatest impact we can have is to ensure that we cast an informed vote and encourage greater voter turnout by our neighbours, employees and co-workers. In order to get a feel for what the candidates for mayor have in store for the business community, the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce asked each candidate a series of questions. Responses from each of the mayoral candidates will be published in the Saskatoon Express in the weeks leading up to the election. We have also partnered with Saskatoon-based software company OneStory to ask candidates in all wards four questions on their platform during this election. Full responses from all ward candidates who have participated can be found online at www. saskatoonchamber.com/vote as part of our “Business Votes YXE” campaign. The future of our community is tied to its leaders and an informed voting public will impact who will lead Saskatoon in the future. Please take the time to learn what each candidate has to offer and make your mark on Oct. 26. #businessvotesyxe

Saskatoon residents will be able to sign the pink fire truck in exchange for a $10 donation to breast cancer research. Please make sure the truck is not involved in an emergency before approaching. Engine 12 will continue to be an integral part of the Saskatoon Fire Department’s fleet during October. If possible, the pink truck will be at following events: Women’s Optimist Gala at TCU Place on Oct. 15. C95 Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer Research at the Circle Centre Mall on Oct. 21. Breast Health Comedy Night at the Parktown Hotel on Oct. 21. The pink truck is the result of a three-way partnership between the Saskatoon Fire Department, IAFF Local 80 and Cowan Imaging Group which donated the costs associated with installing the wrap. All proceeds will be donated to the C95 Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer Research to fund research being done right here in Saskatoon.

(Continued from page 8) was recognized as a city builder in Spacing Magazine, the national urban planning magazine. My professional background is in the area of mediation and community economic development. I have a B.A. in Conflict Resolution and an M.A. in Environmental Studies. Question: What is the most important issue facing Saskatoon in this upcoming election and what are your ideas for addressing that? Clark: Saskatoon can be the prairie city that got it right. The most important issue is ensuring our future growth is more balanced between infill and greenfield. The key to keeping taxes down while improving services is facilitating more development within existing boundaries. We must level the playing field so that residents, businesses and developers have a real choice about where to build and live. We need to revamp our approach to zoning, approvals, permits and levies to make it more attractive to build on underused land. Achieving a 50-50 growth ratio over time will save half a billion dollars by using existing infrastructure more efficiently and avoiding the costs of new roads, water and sewer lines, and overpasses. Avoiding these costs will make reinvestment in existing neighbourhoods, many needing upgraded streets, sidewalks and parks, possible. More intensive use of existing land will increase tax revenues. We create a circle of balanced growth, higher quality of life in existing neighbourhoods, and a stronger tax base without raising taxes. Balanced growth makes better transit more feasible. People have real choices about where to live and how to move around. That will be our quality of life and economic advantage into the future.

KELLEY MOORE I have been a professional regional and urban planner and a small business owner with 20 years’ experience in public, private and not-for-profit sectors. I’ve lived in Saskatoon for 33 years and worked as a senior planner with the City of Saskatoon in neighbourhood and district planning before accepting leadership roles with the provincial government as Regional Intersectoral Committee co-ordinator, director of housing policy/program development, and most recently as director, community and client services with the Ministry of Social Services. My company in Saskatoon employs graduates from the University of Saskatchewan in the area of community planning, geo-spatial analysis and regional development. Question: What is the most important issue facing Saskatoon in this upcoming election and what are your ideas for addressing that? Moore: Financial responsibility and accountability. The city has rising debt and is now paying close to $30 million annually to service the debt. Taxes have reached historic levels to address our infrastructure deficit, but we are not seeing the results from this investment. Capital projects are coming in millions over budget. We need to get a handle on our expenditures. My platform outlines four key actions. 1) Full project accounting — both capital and operating — before undertaking any new initiatives. 2) Improved project management which includes moving toward an accrual accounting and reporting system to allow full project costs to be known. Every project needs to have a financial beginning, middle and end. 3) Improving the contract/tender process so that contractors and not taxpayers are held more responsible for project overruns and poor quality work. 4) Develop a financial dashboard that reports on operating and capital expenditures throughout the year. Greater accountability and transparency will lead to better financial management. Using tax dollars more efficiently will permit higher service levels. That is Aaron what my mayoral campaign is all about. AS100313

Core, suburban growth need balance: Clark

(Continued from page 11) askatoon is growing later than Calgary, Edmonton or Winnipeg and has a chance to do now what other prairie cities may have done differently when their populations were at 250,000, he said. “We know we can . . . not only create a city with a thriving core, surrounded by vibrant neighbourhoods, but also one that figures out how to keep its taxes down while reinvesting in what we already have. One thing we’re learning is if you just keep adding neighbourhoods on the outside edges of the city, your costs go up faster than your new tax revenues, and you fall behind. “I’m excited about Saskatoon being the city that got it right. I know it’s going to take a leader who’s collaborative, who’s strategic about doing it, who’s able to bring the best thinking and the best ideas to the table, both from within this city but also from city building ideas across North America and engage the leadership we already have, the talent we have from the university, from the business community, from the community-based organization sector, from all the neighbourhoods and the people we have here, to make this happen.” Clark on growth Clark, who voted for the city’s Growing Forward plan, says a balanced approach to growth is the best way to go. “It does not advocate for stopping suburban growth. That’s a very dangerous way toAS100304 try to do this,” he said. “The Growing Aaron

Forward plan is targeting that in the future, we would have 50 per cent suburban growth and 50 per cent growth that would be infill, in the downtown, around the university, along key corridors, in areas that we already have underused land.” He cites the recently-approved 460-unit condo development planned for the Market Mall parking lot as a good example of people living close to services such as bus access and shopping, not to mention fire services and roads. It’s also a good example of how using underdeveloped land pays back. “The Market Mall proposal, the cost to the city . . . is half of a traffic light at Adelaide and Preston. But the revenues that we will get from the taxes of 460 units on a parking lot, is all revenues we can use to re-invest in those neighbourhoods. “We are a fairly spread-out city. There are a lot of opportunities to add people into the land that we’ve already developed. But we will continue to have suburban neighbourhoods; we just need to design them better, so they can be built around a more efficient transportation system,” said Clark. Clark also voted for the city’s new Rapid Transit plan, and says the transit system needs to be a much bigger player in local transportation. It’s “a tremendous opportunity because that is where the federal government is putting money now,” added Clark. “We have to prove to them we are ready to build the city of tomorrow, which is what I think they’re looking for. I think the mayor plays a really

key role in building those relationships as well.” On the Remai Modern As Saskatoon grows, amenities to make it a place people want to be are crucial, said Clark. He sits on the board of the Remai Modern Art Gallery (RMAG) and believes in its potential. “Public cultural institutions are an important part of that. They’re the gathering points for the community. They’re the places the community comes together and celebrates key moments . . . they’re the places where we bring people who are visiting to show off our city.” When council was deciding what to do about the art gallery, there were three proposals: the expansion of the Mendel Art Gallery, a new Meewasin Valley centre, and a destination centre at River Landing.

time, the federal government was not showing interest in supporting the expansion of the Mendel. Clark felt council had to make a choice to do one thing well, and that was the RMAG. “That being said, I don’t think it was handled as it should have been. Rather than coming out to the community and explaining those things . . . it came out as a press conference with a banner and a logo that was already developed, and it just became foisted onto the community. Nobody had a chance to talk about it, discuss it; it was a very significant decision but it was foisted on the community. “That’s one thing that has hurt the ability for the gallery to have that sense of community ownership, is that it started off on the wrong foot.” (Continued on page 11)

SASKATOONEXPRESS - October 3-9, 2016 - Page 11 DC100342 Darlene

(Continued from page 10) lark said he was “shocked” that at a recent construction industry mayoral forum, incumbent mayor Don Atchison said one of the problems with how RMAG has been handled was that the board was responsible for the contract and mismanaged the process. “I sit on the board with a group of volunteers who have been trying to make this project work, have been trying to ensure the integrity of the project is maintained. “We all are part of this process, and city council is ultimately the body that approves these contracts. It’s not responsible to try and pass that blame on to somebody else.” Clark said a clear business plan is needed before the city starts building anything — “not just what it costs to build, but also what it costs to operate” — and that includes everything from new playground equipment and rinks to new neighbourhoods. Clark on crime Clark says it’s extremely important to people’s quality of life that they feel safe on the streets and in their neighbourhoods, and he hears that from people living in all parts of the city. As the councillor for downtown before the writ dropped, he constantly hears from people worried about downtown safety, as well. A pilot project led in part by the United Way to address homelessness, health, addictions and crime has been successful, “but the systems are broken.” “They’re not working together. Justice, addictions, mental health, social services, police, are not as co-ordinated as they need to be. Millions of dollars are being spent but people continue to fall through the cracks and end up in jails. “We need to have adequate police resources, and our men and women in the police service are working very hard,” said Clark, who has been on ride-alongs and in ne the police plane. “But 70 per cent of the calls they’re going to are mental health, nuisance, addiction . . . not related to a public safety issue. They’re related to being the call of last resort . . . They’re the reactive force. If you keep adding more police officers . . . you’re not addressing the conditions lead-

ing to these crimes happening, and we’re #14 - 2345 Avenue C North Gordon Wyant, MLA not going to solve the problem.” Saskatoon, SK S7L 5Z5 Saskatoon Northwest Instead of just expanding the police 306-934-2847 budget, Clark has called for an operational g.wyant.mla@sasktel.net review of the police service in collaboration with the police chief and the police association, which represents the officers. “I think we have a chance to be a leading police service in the country. We already have a lot of the elements . . . we have a very forward-thinking chief.

City hall must act as a facilitator rather than a gatekeeper, streamlining processes and approvals and taking a more collaborative approach. “The rules need to be clear and predictable, and have a level playing field.” He added that it’s important for the mayor to talk to all of Saskatoon’s business groups “to make sure we’re positioning Saskatoon to succeed on the global stage, and can attract investment. “Saskatoon will be the economic engine of this province. It already is, but increasingly our local economy will determine the economy of the province.” Clark’s website, for more information, is http://www.charlieclarkformayor.ca/.

WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD MEN?

Dear Lianne I am 54 years old. I am a head turner, smart and successful. My only regret is that I have never found lasting love. I have had relationships but they always seem to be with selfish men. I give and give and they take. I’m wondering what I can do to find a good man who will appreciate me as much as I do him. Gabriella,

Dear Gabriella, Your situation is common in the way that you continue to attract the same kind of wrong men. The first thing is that you allow someone to love you. Doing that is making yourself vulnerable, putting your guard down and changing your method of selection. I would strongly suggest you meet with me and we will determine if Camelot Introductions is an option for you. You are duplicating personality types and would greatly benefit by a professional assisting you

in picking the right fellow for you. We need to guide you as far as a different type of personality as well as coach you about not giving too much in the beginning.

It sugMoore was parroting comments of her gests that those holding public office take spouse, Lenore Swystun, and implying their marching orders from the home front

rather than making independent decisions based on information at hand. In the 15 years I held public office, never did my husband direct my vote. He is a wise man and I respect his counsel in most aspects of our life together, but his stance on any board or council issue made it to the public feedback list, not to the decision-making table. On the rare occasion he expressed a strident opinion on a controversial matter, my simple response was “I have a great idea — in the next election, you can run for public office and then make the decision.” That usually put an end to the discussion. I do believe elected officials make a conscious effort to separate their private and political roles. One would think that Calgary’s popular mayor Naheed Nenshi dispelled the idea that you have to have council experience before holding the position of mayor. If not, then let’s refer to StarPhoenix columnist Jordon Cooper’s humorously written comments (SP Sept. 19, 2016) that under The Cities Act the only power a mayor has over and above councillors is to conduct the meeting and attach names to streets, parks and civic amenities. Well, a good animal handler could probably train a chimpanzee to use the gavel (and the upside is the chimp would work for peanuts!) As for the naming procedure, names are taken from a list approved by council. Start at the top and work your way down. Of course I am being facetious with these comments because leadership ability

necessarily comes with the mayor’s position; however, leadership ability accrues from various life experiences. Lastly, we should look at the maligned Lenore Swystun, a non-candidate in this election. My only remembrance of Swystun was when she led the charge to ‘Save the Gathercole.’ My recollection of her is that she was reasonably intelligent, passionate about her cause and put a lot of energy into a futile venture. I often wondered what she could have accomplished had she been able to temper her presentations. Yes, she is opinionated, vocal and an activist, but she is not the devil incarnate that her detractors make her out to be. And don’t we need people to periodically challenge the status quo? When these rumour shenanigans occur, it simply means the politicos are trying to manipulate voters by having us focus on gossip rather than the real election issues. It is an insult to the intelligence of all voters. Over the years, I have witnessed electors stating that they cast their vote based on political party affiliation, gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, friendship, occupation, or for a combination of same or similar reasons. Some voters actually examine candidate platforms and past performances to guide their vote. We should each use whatever criteria we feel comfortable with in choosing a candidate, but please let’s not make our decisions based on cheap and petty gossip. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Lukowich never stopped being in awe of Howe Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express orris Lukowich admits the years and decades never diminished his childhood awe of Gordie Howe. Growing up playing minor hockey in Saskatoon in the 1960s and early 1970s, Lukowich idolized Howe like many other youngsters at the time. His hero worship of Mr. Hockey increased greatly during a chance childhood encounter. “I met him for the very first time in an Eaton’s store in the middle of July on a hot summer day, when nobody was in the store,” said Lukowich, who returned to Saskatoon when the WHL’s Blades honoured Howe during the day of their regular-season home opener. “He was there to sign autographs, but Eaton’s had forgotten to tell anyone. He was there on his own. “My brother Ed and I got to spend 45 minutes with him. He was the first NHL player I had ever met. It was like amazing. I basically went into shock and just watched every move. He talked mostly with my brother Ed.” As Ed, who became a men’s world curling champion in 1986, and Howe chatted, Morris’s positive impression of the fourtime Stanley Cup winner with the Detroit

Red Wings was strengthened. At that moment, Lukowich knew Howe would always be his hero. “He signed me an autograph and made it out to Maurice,” said Lukowich. “He asked me a question. He asked me what I loved most about hockey. I said scoring goals. “He made it out, ‘To Maurice, score lots of goals, Gordie Howe.’” The autograph was prophetic. Lukowich made his way to hockey’s biggest stages, scoring 331 career regular-season goals over 11 campaigns in both the now defunct World Hockey Association and the NHL. Lukowich placed the autographed picture he received from Howe in his room. He also said a prayer asking God to allow him to play with Gordie Howe one day, and, while God was at it, throw in Bobby Hull as well. As fate would have it, Lukowich made it to the WHL, becoming a star left-winger for the Medicine Hat Tigers. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the third round of the NHL draft and by the Houston Aeros in the second round of the WHA draft in 1976. Shortly after being selected by Houston, Lukowich received a phone call from Howe, who was playing with the Aeros

Morris Lukowich, who spoke at Saskatoon’s Thank You, Mr. Hockey Day, played alongside Gordie Howe in Houston. (Photo by Steve Hiscock/Saskatoon Blades) along with his sons Mark and Marty. Howe invited Lukowich to come to Houston on what basically became a recruiting trip. “It was six of the most amazing days,” said Lukowich. “We golfed three times. We went out for suppers. I got meet Mark

and Marty. It was just an amazing time.” After that trip, Lukowich faced a decision — sign with the Penguins or Aeros. A call from Penguins general manager Wren Blair settled it. (Continued on page 15)

(Continued from page 14) t was like those words out of ‘Paradise by the Dashboard Lights’ by Meatloaf,” said Lukowich. “He says, ‘What’s it going to be boy? Are you going to come play in the NHL with the big boys or go to that other league?’” Lukowich responded that he was going to go play with Gordie Howe. Blair replied calling Lukowich a few choice names and vowed the fresh junior grad would never play a day in the NHL. In making his decision, Lukowich followed his own intuition. He said his childhood meeting with Howe helped along with the fact they took a fairly similar route to the pros. Howe was born in the small town of Floral and grew up playing minor hockey in Saskatoon before moving on to the professional ranks. Lukowich was born in the small town of Speers and also grew up playing minor hockey in Saskatoon. He played one full season together with Howe in Houston back in 1976-77. Now a goal-scoring coach based out of Calgary, Lukowich, who turned 60 on June 1, often passes on a couple of lessons he learned from Howe. One was a practical one to be used on the ice. Thanks to his great speed, Lukowich would often go wide on a defenceman at the blue-line, cut across the front of the goal on his forehand side and try to beat the goalie with a backhand. The shot often went over the net. Howe came over to Lukowich and suggested shooting the puck at the goalie’s pad area. “He said, ‘you might actually score on the first shot, but then you might also score on second or the third attempt,’” said Lukowich, who stands 5-foot-9 and weighs 170 pounds. “He said ‘cut in and take that first shot and then be really aggressive on the rebound.’ It was a tremendous coaching piece.” The second is a lesson in character regarding Howe off ice. During Lukowich’s recruiting trip, he caught a really large sailfish while out fishing with Howe. Later on, Lukowich asked Howe for a souvenir from the fish, but Howe said he had given the fish away to Mexicans to be used for food. Part way through their season together with the Aeros, Lukowich was told he was wanted in the team dressing room by head coach Bill Dineen. Lukowich entered the dressing room and Howe was standing beside a big crate hold-

ing a crowbar, which he gave to the rookie forward. When Lukowich opened the crate, he found a big mounted sailfish inside it. That sailfish sits hanging on a basement wall in Lukowich’s Calgary home. He loves to tell the story to his students during classes at his home. “We do video coaching there with hockey, and I tell that story. I want them to get the feel of just what it is like to play with Gordie Howe – just the class (and) about caring that much.” Lukowich was pleased that the Blades invited him to Saskatoon to participate in “Thank You, Mr. Hockey Day.” He spoke in the pre-game ceremony before the Blades took on the Swift Current Broncos at the SaskTel Centre. The visit helped bring things full circle for Lukowich. “For me, it was a walk through the past,” said Lukowich. “To go to Gordie Howe’s house where he grew up way back and be there — that was amazing to see. To go to his school, there were so many cool things.” (You can see more of Darren Steinke’s work in his online blog stankssermon. blogspot.ca.)

CFCR known for its unique playlist Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express ay Allen got hooked on CFCR when he was in high school. He said he heard through the school grapevine there was this “crazy radio station that played stuff you couldn’t hear on any other station in town.” “Any time I would listen to FM it was CFCR,” he said. “That is how I discovered all kinds of bands that I still listen to today.” He and a buddy, Sean Grant, started hosting a show together in 1997, soon after graduating from high school. After a lap around the country, Allen would become the station’s program director and Grant became known as DJ Charly Hustle, a wellknown figure on Saskatoon’s music scene. “It was called Rock ‘n Roll Radio and we just played a bunch of rock and roll music,” Allen said. “It was a lot of fun and so freeing to be able to do that yourself and gave us the opportunity to discover so much new music.” After moving to Calgary and then Montreal, Allen returned to Saskatoon. While away from the city, he remained immersed in campus and community radio stations. “I kept up my radio chops wherever I was. When I moved back to Saskatoon, I got back into CFCR.” He became the program director in 2009. “I would say for the most part you are

RM100399 Ryan

hearing stuff on CFCR that you don’t hear anywhere else. It’s definitely our main mandate. Our programs themselves and the music we play, we want CFCR to give that voice to the people who would otherwise not have a voice. “It is a bit of a cliché but it really rings true with campus and community radio — a voice for the voiceless idea that whether that is a community group, or a multi-cultural group or an arts or culture organization that can’t get any programming time or air time at any other radio station, that’s who CFCR wants to be there for.” He said local content is important. “You look at a lot of bands in and around town that are releasing music in Saskatoon or sticking at being a local Saskatoon band, CFCR is the place where most of those bands are going to get played pretty much exclusively.” He points to the Sheepdogs as an example. “They were originally a little band slugging it out in clubs in Saskatoon and CFCR would be the place that would play their music and now they’ve had all this success, but still are generous enough to come back and play a fundraiser for us.” The event was scheduled to be held Oct. 1. The fundraiser is going full throttle between now and Oct. 14. Fundraising events

Jay Allen is the program director at CFCR. (Photo by Arnie Van Lambalgen) are what keep community radio stations on the air. CFCR is a non-profit corporation owned by the Community Radio Society of Saskatoon. “Our fall fundraising drive is by far our single largest fundraising effort of the year. It raises upwards of $70,000, which is our goal for the year. “Even though it is a big fundraiser and a large amount of money, it still only represents a fraction of how much it costs to actually run the radio station every year. So we do have other fundraising efforts that we have to do.” The station is celebrating its 25th anniversary in its current form.

TA100314 Tammy

“There are different facets to the fundraising drive. Because of our 25th anniversary, we have kind of stepped up our game and are bringing in some out-of-town acts that we are really excited about,” said Allen. “We are hoping people in the community and outside the city will support CFCR by donating money to the station. There are lots of great prizes and all kinds of great stuff that you get back for your donation. You can find out more about that on our website. It represents 20 per cent of what we have to do. Without those funds, we’d be in real trouble for sure.” For more information on the station and the fundraising drive, visit cfcr.ca.

Jubilee residences raising money for the Comforts of Home

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express t was post-Second World War Saskatchewan, and the province’s hundreds of thousands of early 20th century homesteaders were aging rapidly. In 1955, as the province was celebrating 50 years, Saskatoon’s then-mayor J.D. McAskill realized that his city was in need of affordable housing for the incoming surge of seniors, especially those with low incomes. At his behest, a group of service clubs and community leaders came together and drafted a proposal for Jubilee Residences, a Saskatoon-based nonprofit with the mission of providing safe, affordable, quality care and shelter for seniors. The City of Saskatoon agreed to donate the land, and city residents raised the initial funds. Now, 60 years later, Jubilee residences continue to place community at the heart of their organization, services and activities. In order to keep up with the needs of its residents, the Jubilee Residences Foundation was created in 1999 in order to manage fundraising efforts and to promote donor relations for its two accredited long-term care homes: Saskatoon’s Porteous Lodge, a 95-person home located on Avenue P North, and Stensrud Lodge, a 100-person home located on McEown Avenue. “It began as a committee of the board of directors, but grew into a separate entity that was focused exclusively on raising funds to meet the needs of the residents at Porteous Lodge and Stensrud Lodge,” said Yvonne Morgan, CEO of Jubilee Residences. “The foundation was created primarily for the purpose of stewarding a major capital fundraising campaign for the much-needed expansion and renovation to Stensrud Lodge.” It took two years to raise the necessary funds for the Stensrud project, which began in 2001. The Jubilee Residences Foundation has raised $2.2 million, which has gone towards a new elevator for Porteous Lodge, the Wander Garden at Stensrud Lodge, a new bus, and to necessary equipment and furnishing upgrades. On Oct. 7, the Jubilee Foundation’s second annual Oktoberfest: Dinner and Comedy Night will be held at Saskatoon’s German Cultural Centre. “This event is refreshingly different, no need to find a gown or tuxedo,” said Morgan. “It is truly a casual night of fun. You can wear your jeans or your lederhosen.” The evening will crown a local brewery in the event’s inaugural Beer-Off. Ticket holders will feast at an authentic German buffet — from sausages and spatzle to apple strudel. Comedian JoAnn Waytowich will entertain with her

antics as Ivanka. And you might even pick up a few German dance moves when you’re not checking out the lineup of live and silent auction packages. Every dollar raised will be put to very good use. So far this year, the Jubilee Foundation has purchased everything from specialty mattresses and sleeper chairs to a television for the dining room and two Comforts of Home room renovations. “The Comforts of Home campaign is such a simple plan,” explained Morgan. “We want to transform all of our residents’ rooms into warm, inviting spaces with a complete makeover, including new flooring that truly looks like hardwood, freshly painted walls with an updated colour palette, new blinds, new bedside tables, new closet doors, new sinks, new taps and new counter tops. “Just imagine the difference it would make to our residents to having their home transformed from a dull, drab room into a warm inviting space – their space,” added Morgan. “A space that truly feels more like home and not a hospital room. It’s a simple plan but a powerful difference in the quality of everyday life our residents.” Comforts of Home renovations cost approximately $5,000, and there are 200 rooms between Porteous and Stensrud Lodges. The Jubilee Foundation is also raising funds for the replacement of two specialized hydrosonic tub systems with hydraulic chair lifts and integrated disinfection and safety systems. Most capital equipment — from bathtubs to water heaters and their repair and maintenance — are not funded by government, nor is funding received to replace or repair furniture. “Current tubs are at the end of their useful lives with infection and safety control issues becoming more challenging,” said Morgan. “Increased downtime for repairs negatively impacts residents’ quality of life and skin conditions.” The Jubilee Foundation Board has committed to fund the construction of sunrooms at both lodges. Morgan says the design of both care homes did not include smaller, more intimate living spaces or many windows. Long hallways in both homes block the sun, making interiors dark. “Imagine the powerful difference the presence of three-season sunrooms would make to the quality of life for our residents,” said Morgan. “It would create additional living room space and create light – lots and lots of light.”

Cam Hutchinson & Friends:

A black moon rising

By RJ Currie eptember 27 marked one year since Jonathan Papelbon tried to strangle Nationals teammate Bryce Harper. This September the Blue Jays have been doing all the choking. • According to the Financial Post, fighting about money is the top reason Canadian women ask for a divorce. Maybe a woman’s betrothed should be called a financé? • Dear TSN: Enough already on a shot by Leafs rookie Auston Matthews shattering a sheet of Plexiglas. The season hasn’t started and already Matthews is a pane. • Suspended Mariners catcher Steve Clevenger called his racism-loaded tweet “ill-worded.” Right. And Nero called the torching of Rome a misfire. • A black moon rose on Sept. 30, which astronomers say is almost invisible so “there’s really nothing to see.” It’s the lunar equivalent of the Jacksonville Jaguars. • Andy North said for each dollar golfers make, they “should give twenty-five cents” to Arnold Palmer. Seems Palmer didn’t just usher in today’s PGA, he was a quarterback. • Jeremy Roenick called Team USA’s effort at the World Cup of Hockey a joke. That’s harsh, although it did look like their

get-up-and-go got up and went. • A marriage proposal by a fan at a Red Sox-Yankees game went awry when the ring slipped through his fingers. “We know how you feel,” said the Golden State Warriors. • Sports Illustrated reports the NFL may eclipse last year’s total number of celebration penalties by Week 4. Not something of concern to the Bears. • The NBA wants to crack down on deliberate groin shots this year. Which isn’t as nutty as it sounds. • My first thought on the recent photograph of Tom Brady sunbathing on the Italian coast in the nude. Why wasn’t it Gisele Bundchen? • Jets pivot Ryan Fitzpatrick threw six interceptions against the Chiefs. Make that Ryan Pickspatrick. • Jordan Spieth on America’s Ryder Cup drought: I’m tired of being told we haven’t won in a while. Take heart Jordan; at least you’re not a Chicago Cub. RJ’s Groaner of the Week Turns out the arrest of a Canadian mint worker who was smuggling gold in his rectum started with a tip from a bank teller. Afterward I guess the RCMP launched a probe.

Views of the World

There was no ‘we’ in Dodgers for Scully

ongratulations to a whole bunch of Saskatchewan Rush people who won National Lacrosse League awards last week. Ryan Dilks was selected as the defensive player of the year, Ben McIntosh won the sportsmanship award, and team president Len Genier was named the executive of the year. Dilks and Mark Matthews were named to the league’s allpro team, with Jeremy Thompson and Chris Corbeil on the second team. And we’re just three months away from the start of the new season. • Janice Hough, on former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy being arrested on a cocaine possession charge in Texas: “So congrats to all those who had Sept. 26 in the pool.” • Yes, this is the same Greg Hardy that was on the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ radar until the league stepped in and nixed the idea. • From Torben Rolfsen: “Mounties brought out the post-game trophies at the World Cup of Hockey. Glad they have two months to rest before the Grey Cup.” • Here’s one for Buck Martinez to chew on: Sandy Koufax praised Vince Scully for never being a homer, despite covering the Dodgers for decades. “Never used the word ‘we,’” Koufax said. • TC Chong, on Donald Trump saying if he is elected president, he will ask China to look after the North Korea crisis: “I’m thinking he doesn’t want to anger President Kim Jong-un, because they go to the same barber.” • Bill Littlejohn, on Peyton Manning tobogganing down The Great Wall of China: “Are they opening a new Papa John’s in Inner Mongolia?” • Canada’s athlete of the year? I’m going with Penny Oleksiak, followed by Andre De Grasse and Sidney Crosby. Tough call though. • From Rolfsen: “Mike Ditka and Bobby Knight are so tone deaf, they make Nickelback sound like U2.” • From Chong: “NFL trainers unani-

mously agreed that Donald Trump should have undergone concussion protocol after last week’s debate.” • One of the best things about the World Cup of Hockey? Having Ron MacLean back where he belongs. • From Hough: “In the first debate, Trump was acting like the drunk guy in the sports bar who can’t stand it when a woman knows more about sports than he does.” • From Littlejohn: “In Boston, Big Papi could be getting his own bridge. It’ll replace the ones Curt Schilling burned.” • I lost interest in the World Cup of Toronto Hockey after the U.S. and Team North America were eliminated. CanadaRussia doesn’t do it for me anymore. • @randyturner15, on the World Cup: “This was all worth it so hockey fans in Toronto could see the home team get a trophy.” • From Rolfsen: “Blue Jays prospect Jesus Montero was suspended 50 games for not glaring at the ump after a strike call.” • Edmonton Sun columnist Terry Jones likened Taylor Field to Fenway Park. Methinks Terry bumped his head on something. • Why do William and Kate dress Prince George in old-man shorts, high socks and shoes? • I wish one of Toronto’s sports columnists, preferably one who isn’t a fan, would write a piece explaining why the Jays are the most disliked team in baseball. It certainly appears opposing teams don’t care much for Bautista, Donaldson and Stroman. Then again, I don’t either. • Littlejohn, on Irish boxer Steve Donnelly betting against himself in the Rio Olympics, but won the fight anyway: “Officials are checking for possible cellphone calls to Pete Rose.” • From Rolfsen: “Derrick Rose is reportedly struggling to learn Phil Jackson’s triangle offence. He’s more used to the triage.” • An RJ Currie-styled groaner from Chong: “Who is Colin Kaepernick’s favourite singer? Kneel Diamond, of course.”
