Don Atchison Seeking fifth term as mayor

Don Atchison says people aren’t doing the math properly when it comes to the cost of some city projects. (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Joanne Paulson Saskatoon Express on Atchison sits down at a desk in his campaign office right after a news conference, greets his visitor, and asks, “what would you like to know?”

This reporter helpfully says she wants to discuss growth, crime, the Remai Modern Art Gallery and any platform planks he wants to highlight.

“Sounds like you’re writing a book,” he suggested.

It becomes a bit of a theme: there are so many things to talk about, so many arms and legs to running a city, he often notes that it’s hard to know where to start, and stop. So, we begin with a platform example: his recent plank on generating hydro power from the weir, and deriving more power from gas collection at the landfill.

Environmentally-friendly power generation is “certainly DC101050 Darlenea major part of

D

where the city has to go into the future,” said Atchison. “The single most important thing on that plank still is, no new landfill for the city. Ever. And ever is a long time.

“And the environment is tremendously important. It’s huge. And we always want to make sure we leave the environment in as good, if not better, condition than what it was.”

Water treatment in Saskatoon is another point of pride. Atchison notes that water from our sewage treatment plant is cleaner than it is when it enters the city; and the plant also produces fertilizer for golf courses and the like. It’s “wonderful that we are able to do those type of things — the recycling that we’re doing.”

In addition, the waste water treatment odour abatement in the north end is finally where it needs to be, and the smelly Nutana lift station is being fixed.

“We promised the people that we would

deal with the odour abatement and we will deal with the odour abatement. And I believe we finally have it rectified.”

Atchison on crime Those points being made, he moves on to crime, saying law and order is number one – “by far. Any home or business that has been broken into or violated, you just don’t ever feel the same way after.”

Policing, however, is a very complex issue, he added, and won’t be solved quickly.

“First of all, the police service needs to deal with law and order, which they do. There’s the social side of things that need to be dealt with as well. That is very critical. And so that deals with homelessness, it deals with drugs that are out there . . . those type of issues are critical for us to deal with.

“The question is, who is ultimately

Devon Hein profile Page 6 responsible for all of it? Well, the city needs to have a part of that. We need to be a partner in finding a solution for it. But it’s not only us; it’s other governments that need to be involved, too.

“Homelessness is not a city responsibility. We have the No. 1 housing program in all of Canada; that comes from CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.) We’ve taken the bull by the horns and done things like that. But the question always is, can you do more? Of course.

Always.”

“Sheesh. Just washed it. May not make it. RIP.” Whenever Sandy has suggested we throw away my sweatshirt, I tell her I want to be cremated in it. The shirt and I are going to go together unless one of my ancestors lays claim to it. Fat chance.

In that case, I have a ragged green University of Saskatchewan sweatshirt that would work equally well. I wish I still had my Lee jeans.

stall in activities.

“There were some people who were saying it wasn’t right to have a sports hall of fame located in a building where the owners promoted and served alcoholic beverages,” recalled Holash.

There weren’t any further ceremonies until 1971. After a couple of temporary homes for the exhibits, the crowning achievement came in 1985 when the hall was established in once what was the Land Titles office on Victoria Avenue.

“We remained committed to financial support at an important time in the hall’s history. I have always been proud of my small participation and contribution. I usually put my heart and soul into projects like the hall and I was grateful they let me help,” said Holash, whose son, Mitch, later became a board member and head of the selection committee in the early 1990s.

“When Molson’s decided to close the brewery in Prince Albert in 1986, the company wanted to leave a legacy.

They accepted my idea and Prince Albert became the first community to open a satellite hall.”

The other constant factor in Holash’s days was the friendship with George Reed, who joined the company in 1964, a year after making his Canadian Football League debut with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Reed was a key figure in the anniversary celebrations and saluted the Riders for their launching of the new Mosaic Stadium, a far cry from the playing field and the practice field in which he played during an George Reed played a key role in the hall of fame’s anniversary.

HONESTY

U of S to honour award-winning writer

H

e is one of Canada’s best-known novelists, an award-winning crime writer who has also been lauded for his work as a lawyer, journalist, environmentalist and civil rights activist.

On Oct. 22, the University of Saskatchewan will pay tribute to alumnus William Deverell when he receives an honorary Doctor of Letters during Fall Convocation ceremonies at TCU Place.

Born in Regina, Deverell earned a Bachelor of Arts and a law degree at the U of S, while serving as editor of The Sheaf student newspaper, as well as working as a night editor for the Saskatoon StarPhoenix. He went on to earn numerous national writing honours, including the Dashiell Hammett Award for Literary Excellence and twice winning the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel. Deverell, who has written 18 novels, earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Crime Writers of Canada and was twice-nominated for the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour.

Deverell credits his time at the U of S for his successful career.

“The university gave me the chance, the opportunity, the experience and the training to go where I have gone . . . So in many, many ways, my time at the university was extremely important in creating the person that I am and in allowing me to do the things that I have done.”

Deverell, 79, was the creator of the hit CBC TV series Street Legal, which has been aired in more than 50 countries, and he was one of the 100 individuals honoured as Alumni of Influence on the 100th anniversary of the College of Arts and Science in 2009. Deverell, who was a founding director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and a member of Greenpeace, has also donated all of his manuscripts, notes and letters to the U of S. Deverell will be honoured at 2 p.m. on Oct. 22.

MARKET MALL – ’90s

Photo courtesy: Market Mall

FASHION EVENT Mini Golf Course Saturday, October 22, 2016 1:00 p.m.

Come early for VIP seating!

Market Mall was now firmly entrenched as a major shopping fixture in Saskatoon. Its spot as a gathering spot was cemented in the community.

Another robust expansion was planned and in 1992, the mall grew again. This time, it was massive. The $15-million expansion provided an additional 90,000 square-feet of space.

Market Mall also saw the arrival of a Kmart flagship store that added more than 86,000 sq.-ft. of shopping convenience. Kmart’s storied history allowed shoppers a varied supply of items from home furnishings to leisure and entertainment goods and fashions for all ages. In 1998, Kmart was taken over the Canadian retail chain, Zellers, and became the largest Zellers in the city.

And then Market Mall turned it up a notch by creating two levels of underground parking. The 470 spaces now made more than 1,400 available parking spaces for shoppers.

Shoppers in Saskatoon’s cold months could now park their car underground, take off their heavy jackets and leave them in their car before heading upstairs to do their shopping. It was ground breaking.

Another milestone occurred in 1992 as they opened their now-famous indoor 18-hole miniature golf course. Patterned after the fabled Pebble Beach golf links in California, the course featured a lush tropical atmosphere with plants, a meandering stream and a fish pond. The course cost Market Mall $500,000 to get it up and running.

Even today, it still draws large crowds on a daily basis. People have also used the site for wedding photos and other special events.

“It’s still the only 18 Hole Indoor mini golf course in a shopping centre in the province” says Betty-Anne Fisher, Market Mall’s general manager. “It’s still popular today and it’s actually busier today than it’s ever been.”

The addition of mini golf proved to be a stroke of genius for the mall management as it brought people into the mall not only to shop at all the stores and services, but now for a recreational pursuit.

Market Mall truly became a gathering spot in the community.

Crime hits home for mayoral candidate Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express askatoon police need the resources to stamp out crime, mayoral candidate Devon Hein says.

Hein experienced the life-altering side of violence when his grandmother, Anna Hein, was murdered in 1999 in her Riversdale home.

“It was a terrible example of how the crime problem has gotten out of control in that part of the city,” he said during a recent interview. “It wasn’t very long after that incident that I lost a friend I played football with. He was stabbed to death by a gang member. He had nothing to do with that activity at all. He was a victim of that random element.

“There are a lot of people that have these stories. That crime problem has to be dealt with. We have the best police force in the world here, but when it’s being over-regulated and being interfered with by city hall, and micro-managed to death, and not being given the resources they need, it’s almost impossible for them to do their jobs.

“Whatever they need to take care of this crime problem has to be what people at city hall understand and voters certainly want that. It’s whatever it takes. People over there doing the crimes have to understand that there’s not going to be any more tolerance of that. It is going to be ended and the city isn’t going to welcome that behaviour anymore.”

Hein said he thinks of his grandmother all the time.

“I feel grateful that I had her in my life for that short period of time and losing her, even at 92 years of age, was terrible. She could have been around longer for us. I remember her as a strong woman who had a good influence in everyone’s life around her. She really reached James out to other people and that is JW101106 something I picked up from her.

S

“Sometimes I wonder if the little political character in me came from her because she was concerned about her community, too,” he said with a smile.

Hein describes himself as a regular guy, who is working full-time on his campaign.

He was a last-minute entrant in the race, but said it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision.

“There was speculation that it was a lastminute thing, but I have been considering it for quite a while. I did go outside city hall and collect a few signatures and was a little guilty of trying to raise a little awareness of what I was doing. It was to get some people who are around city hall to get involved in the political process. It’s a good place to do it because there are people from all walks of life and different experiences.”

The affable 51-year-old, who was once a member of a national championship Saskatoon Hilltop football team in the 1980s, said the city’s growing debt and annual tax increases compelled him to run.

“What’s been going on at city hall, especially with the mismanagement and overspending by council and the city administrator needs to change. We need someone who is going to come forward and not push their personal pet projects or their own agenda, and represent the voters’ voice only. That’s what I am committed to do — representing the residents of this city.

“I think we are at a point now where a change versus more of the same is necessary.

Those other candidates represent nothing more than just the same, so we are in trouble if they get elected because it is clear there is going to be at least another 20 per cent tax increase over the next four years.

“We have a large number of seniors in the city that don’t need that extra burden.

We need to protect them and make sure our economy is affordable that way. So zero tax increases, absolutely.”

Devon Hein says there will be no tax increase if he is elected mayor.

(Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Here are Hein’s thoughts on a number of other topics.

TRANSPARENCY “There can’t be any more closed doors at city hall. What they have been doing is using those closed doors and a lot of those processes to essentially do a lot of big personal pet project planning and then they drop those projects on us in a big surprise announcement and we are all stuck on the hook for the taxes of it. The Remai Centre is a great example of that sort of ambush.”

DEBT “It can easily be brought down by realigning city hall. We have to shelve those crazy projects down by the river.

That kingdom building down there — the timing just isn’t right for it. They’re great projects and they are nice and the whole thing, but at the end of the day when you are over $600 million in debt, building a duplicate arena downtown or spending $2 billion to move railroad tracks and buy up all the land to relocate the tracks, those things are what’s creating our debt.”

JW101002 James

COMMUNICATION ALLOWANCES “Gone. History. When I see the size of some of those communication budgets for things like mail outs, saying, ‘Here I am, here’s my picture,’ it doesn’t seem like the right use of the communication allowance.”

BIG PROJECTS “Shelve them all. The timing just isn’t right. Maybe down the road, but right now we have to shelve everything. Their kingdom building has been hurting this city and it’s really digging into people’s pockets in the wrong way, and it’s resulting in huge debt creation.”

ROADS “Action should have been takes on roads.

There is no reason for them to be as poorly maintained as they are.”

HIS RECEPTION “Pretty good. People are noticing.”

Hein jumped from one per cent to four per cent in the latest Mainstreet/Postmedia poll.

The civic election will be held on Oct. 26.

Mayoral Forum What role should the city play in fostering a healthy business community in Saskatoon?

W

e are pleased to be working with the Greater Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce on a project involving the four candidates in the running to be the mayor of Saskatoon. Candidates provided a short biography and answered four questions provided to them by the Chamber. We have one question and answer in this week’s paper, and will have the final two questions and answers in next week’s edition.

We thank the Chamber for leading this project and the candidates for participating. — Editor

KELLEY MOORE Question: What role should the City play in fostering a healthy business community in Saskatoon?

Moore: Investing in small business and entrepreneurship is one of my key mayoral priorities. Saskatoon is founded on the hard work of entrepreneurs in every sector. Our future success is dependent on growing a robust, diverse, creative and technologically-advanced economy.

The city has an important role to develop policies and create an environment that fosters investment in small business, start-ups and e-commerce. I am a small business owner and I understand the impact government can have on business.

City hall must ensure businesses have what they need in order to succeed. This includes ensuring tax rates are competitive, zoning is flexible to adapt to changing business needs, reducing red tape so it is easier for businesses to get the support they need from city hall, and providing opportunities for local sourcing without compromising on quality or competition.

JW101107 James

I will promote entrepreneurial growth in Saskatoon through investments in infrastructure, programs and tax policies that foster expansion of small business. We need to work with businesses and business organizations to ensure policies support opportunities for business growth and development. I support the chamber’s position to move towards a fairer distribution of property taxes relative to business.

DEVON HEIN Question: What role should the City play in fostering a healthy business community in Saskatoon?

Hein: Under my co-candidates’ past and recent actions, Saskatoon’s business community has been asked to endure huge debt production of over $600 million. In 2015 alone, city council and the city administrator created over $57 million in debt — that is nearly $300 of additional debt for every person in Saskatoon.

The harm such over-spending and mismanagement does to our business community cannot be understated. Increased crime, neglected roads and a nearly 20 per cent increase in property taxes over three years are all the results of diverting taxpayer money from important issues.

By interfering with business — Charlie Clark is the worst here, followed, at a close second, by Don Atchison — our business community has been overregulated and swamped with red tape. Our business community knows what projects they want to undertake, where and when and how. There is no reason for city hall to interfere. By facilitating a healthy business

environment, free from past city officials and planners increasing over-regulation, Saskatoon can have a healthy business community.

For now, zero tax increases and focusing on roads and crime will reduce spending and reduce debt, while facilitating business growth and prosperity free of interference.

CHARLIE CLARK Question: What role should the City play in fostering a healthy business community in Saskatoon?

Clark: If we make our city an appealing place to live and work, and mobilize our talent in planning how to position ourselves in a global economy, we will diversify and prosper.

First, city hall needs to act as a facilitator rather than a gatekeeper for new projects and investments. The business community has told me they want certainty, a collaborative approach, and a level playing field.

Second, the city has tremendous economic talent; we need to create a forum where the best minds come together to anticipate the future and where businesses can work together to create hubs of excellence that will further attract investment and talent.

Third, we must work to create the conditions for First Nations and Metis economic development to thrive. This is the fastest growing sector of the economy, and key to our shared future.

Fourth — starting with the mayor — the city must advocate to senior levels of government for policies and programs that enhance urban economic opportunities.

Finally, we must revitalize downtown to create a vibrant, people-friendly city with a quality of life that makes Saskatoon a magnet for creative talent to grow the economy. The city is the platform on which the future economy will be built.

DON ATCHISON Question: What role should the City play in fostering a healthy business community in Saskatoon?

Atchison: The city should keep Saskatoon working by facilitating a climate that encourages business development and doesn’t penalize anyone just because of the location of their business.

We must have a healthy downtown.

Every city that flourishes has a city centre that is vibrant and alive because of high density. More people living there means more shops, stores and offices. Ten to 15 per cent of our population living in the city centre area keeps the city healthy. That means getting the North Downtown Master Plan right. I don’t believe we are there yet.

As a regulator, we must look very carefully at what we regulate, and why, to ensure that development fees and levies are fair and equitable and help pay the cost of necessary infrastructure. It is a balance.

I believe in incentives for business and industry, but they must be fair and equitable for everyone. We have some incentives in place now such as tax abatements. I believe there are more opportunities to look at the spectrum of incentives and tax abatements to encourage businesses. This is very important as we work to attract more head offices to Saskatoon.

SLOPPY SUE

Dear Lianne I love my wife very much. She just is neglecting herself. She seems complacent and doesn’t see the need to keep herself cared for. She is sloppy in her dress and doesn’t bother shaving her legs or underarms. Her bras and underpants are all stretched out and unattractive.

I see the ladies at work and how well they take care of themselves and wonder what happened to my wife. I heard you take people shopping and help them with hair and make-up. How can I get her to see you?

Arthur

Dear Arthur, I’m wondering if your wife might be depressed. Many of the things you have mentioned could be a result of depression. You are correct that at times I assist in helping my clients look and feel their best. It is a service for clients, not the general public. I would purchase some gift certificates for your wife. Spa services, hair and make-up would be a great start. I would take

her to a lingerie shop to be properly fitted for some bras. Wearing the right bra does wonders for a lady’s shape and overall presentation. Wearing the wrong bra can make a lady look very sloppy. I would let her know how special she is to you and that you would like to devote the next six weeks to having her pampered and feel good about herself. Make sure you are complimenting her each step of the way.

Balancing growth means growing in all directions

C

(Continued from page 1) onnecting the multi-jurisdictional dots on issues requires leadership, said Atchison. He noted that the provincial governments of Lorne Calvert and Brad Wall, and the federal governments of Paul Martin and Stephen Harper have all been great to work with.

“Now we’re dealing with the Justin Trudeau Liberal government. In Saskatoon, people don’t realize that the federal Liberals have poured in over $270 million in the past few months, into Saskatoon and the University of Saskatchewan. I wish I could take credit for all of it, but I can’t.

It’s about having those built-up relationships that is so important. “

Atchison on Managing Growth Atchison says he is all for a balanced approach to growing the city, and that includes both revitalizing core neighbourhoods (which he calls historical areas, saying that terminology is important) and building new neighbourhoods — in all directions.

“And one thing people have said to me on an ongoing basis, all the time, in the grocery store pushing the cart (is) ‘one thing I like is you’re not just having prosperity on one end of the city.’ Prosperity is throughout the city.

“I look at the wonderful rejuvenation, for example, that’s going to happen in Caswell Hill with the moving of the bus barns. This is another one of those golden moments in history to help rejuvenate the neighbourhood — not that it needs a lot, because there has been a big transformation there already . . . but to move the bus barns out so people don’t have to smell the blue diesel fuel anymore.”

Having a modern, better-ventilated bus facility will also be good for the transit employees, he added.

He also points to Riversdale and 20th Street, which have changed dramatically over the last several years.

“My goodness. A few years ago, I remember at council chambers being told we shouldn’t put the Farmers’ Market in Riversdale because no one would go to it,” said Atchison. “The number one complaint today is there’s not enough parking because there’s so many people.”

That brings Atchison to transportation. The Parkway Commuter Bridge will be functional by October 2018, relieving congestion across the Circle Drive North Bridge; and the new Traffic Bridge will be another important artery for downtown.

“The easier you make it for people to get in and out, the more likely they are to either live there or shop there,” said Atchison.

He says South Circle Drive has already changed traffic in Saskatoon, allowing many commuters to get from the south end of the city to the north in 12 to 15 minutes.

Now, Atchison wants to remove the rail lines running through the city.

“Look what moving the rail lines out of the downtown Saskatoon (did) under Mayor Sid Buckwold. Midtown Plaza today. It helped keep the downtown healthy and vibrant.

“Just think: No more waiting for trains.

Who hasn’t waited for a train in Saskatoon? . . . The whole city is touched by it.

And on top of it, the trains are two miles in length now, and they are going to be going to four miles . . . how much longer are you going to be waiting?”

The other solution is to build underpasses and overpasses, said Atchison. But underpasses can be unsafe, especially in a rainstorm, and aren’t a true solution, he said. However, Atchison said removing the tracks is his own preference, and he wants public input on the issue.

Atchison on the Remai Modern The Remai Modern Art Gallery (RMAG) has come up repeatedly in the 2016 mayoral campaign, with candidate

Charlie Clark expressing “shock” that Atchison, in a construction industry forum, put the blame for higher costs and an extended construction time on the RMAG board.

For his part, Atchison said he wished the media had been allowed to cover the industry event; it wasn’t his choice.

“Charlie can say whatever he wishes.

The bottom line is, I fully support all our boards that we have. They do a tremendous amount of great work, and I will continue to support them.”

Is it their fault that the RMAG has gone into overtime? “No,” said Atchison.

“There are things they wanted added on or things changed to make it better.

When you’re building a home, don’t you sometimes have to change orders? . . .

So what’s wrong with that? The problem is not the board. Heavens. And when the project’s completed, then we’ll have a full accounting of everything.”

And he takes umbrage at what some people say the cost will be to the taxpayer.

“I’m so disappointed when I hear people talking numbers out there, that it’s costing the taxpayers $100 million, and it’s just not true. The number was approximately $25 million to start with; the old Mendel was approximately $24.7 million (to refurbish).

“The numbers just on inflation put the numbers at I think about $31.4 for the Mendel, and the new one, the number right now is approximately $30.3 million (for taxpayers.)

“I think that’s really important. The city is not paying $100 million. Period. Anyone who tells you the city is paying that is just not telling you the truth.”

The RMAG has received federal funding of $13 million, provincial funding of $17 million (in rounded numbers) and the board is attempting to raise $22 million, plus there has been a $2 million anonymous gift, for a total project cost of about $84 million.

“The parkade was never part of it.

It was always going to be built,” added Atchison. “Separate project. Nothing to do with the Remai at all. But what it does do, is it satisfies the need for about 200 people for parking in the downtown area.”

Atchison on bike lanes and playgrounds The incumbent mayor, in no uncertain terms, hates the present bike lanes on Fourth Avenue; but he says bike lanes do have a future in Saskatoon.

“I hear nothing but complaints about that,” he said. “I support bikes, I support having bike lanes — in the right locations. But this is the wrong one. I think, for example, where it should be is on Spadina Crescent. Take the (bikes) off the MVA Trail, that’s over-capacity today. It would be a far better location; there are no cars parked there already, there are no businesses there already. It serves the needs for everybody.

“It’s just the wrong location, and the snow removal for the winter time is mindboggling.”

Further to exercise facilities for the community, he also would like to see more ice surfaces built for hockey, broomball, figure skating, ringette and other ice sports.

“The other thing that’s really near and dear to my heart is special needs playground equipment. I don’t think we should just have four areas of the city with (it) . . . (it) should be wherever we have a community park.

“Sometimes it’s difficult for families to get there, if they don’t have a car.

“The little gaffers deserve to have the right to be able to play, just like everyone else does. And maybe I’m biased, because Mardele and I have five children and 12 grandchildren, and one is special needs; but I have been on this particular page before we ever had a special needs grandson.”

The following spring, April 2014, the province announced it was putting $1.5 million of funding into the Lighthouse, to renovate the remaining 59 units in the Old Building, and to add 17 more beds to the stabilization unit.

“We believe (the Lighthouse’s stabilization unit) will take pressure off of existing detox facilities, hospitals and police cells, while keeping people safe, especially in our brutally cold winters,” said Draude.

“We want to ensure that individuals with mental health and addictions issues have a safe place to stay,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said.

Just a few days later, Duncan pointed to the unit as a government initiative intended to reduce emergency department wait times at Royal University Hospital.

In November 2015 — six months before the Saskatchewan election — the provincial government congratulated itself a second time for the Lighthouse’s stabilization unit, holding a ribboncutting, complete with a Government of Saskatchewan ribbon.

Yet, at almost the exact the same time, Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer was threatening to cut back the stabilization unit’s funding.

(Continued from page 10) n December 2015, the provincial auditor released a report revealing that employee absenteeism at Social Services cost taxpayers $6.5 million in 2014-15.

The report also referenced a 2001 recommendation the auditor made that Social Services should “ensure only eligible clients receive assistance and that they receive the correct amount of assistance.”

The 2015 report indicated that in 201415, “three out of 36 files had assistance payments that were not appropriately approved in accordance with policy.”

Four months later, in the middle of a frigid February 2016, the Lighthouse announced a significant reduction in the stabilization unit’s hours.

“This is a big setback for the city,” said Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill in a StarPhoenix story. “. . . It’s going to leave a big gap of service here in the city.”

That gap got wider a few weeks ago, when the Ministry of Social Services essentially halted stabilization unit funding altogether.

“The Government of Saskatchewan says the Lighthouse’s 38-bed emergency stabilization unit in Saskatoon is not producing results,” read a CBC Saskatchewan story. “Officials said only five people who sought refuge at the Lighthouse last year were able to transition to stable housing.”

When did the provincial government ever say anything about using it as a gateway to housing?

Citing the provincial auditor’s report last December, officials said a recent review showed “many individuals were receiving shelter services through multiple avenues,” said CBC. What does that mean?

To answer that question, let’s consider the example of “Don,” a perpetually homeless alcoholic who collects welfare, and his landlord gets a cheque for his accommodation.

Don can’t hold down a job or a place to stay. One night, Don ends up passed out downtown. The police wake him up, and he doesn’t know where he lives. Judging, rightly, that Don doesn’t need emergency care, they take him to the stabilization unit.

The following morning, Don wakes up in withdrawal. In order for the Lighthouse to get paid for his stay, Don has to go to Social Services and self-report. The Lighthouse will receive a $68.50 per diem rate for Don’s stay, as long as he’s never stayed in the unit before.

After panhandling a few coins, Don goes drinking and passes out again on the street.

The police pick him up, but Don still doesn’t know where he lives, and by now he’s probably kicked out anyway. Other shelters in Saskatoon are dry, meaning they won’t accept him.

Back to the Lighthouse goes Don. Except now, he’s supposed to know better. Social Services is not going to pay the Lighthouse for a second night. What to do with Don? Take him to RUH? Do we CP90552.H17 Chenise put Don backTammy on the curb? What if it’s 40 TA101117

If the Lighthouse takes Don back and tries to bill Social Services, Don is deemed to be “double-dipping.”

Yet, if all 38 beds in the stabilization unit were used 365 days per year by someone whose shelter needs had already been paid – the additional cost to the taxpayer would be $950,000.

Compare that to the $3 million payment to Skip the Dishes, or the $21 million on the botched GTH land deal.

But we’re slamming the door on 38 addicts per night to save $950,000?

As for the issue of the “prime corner” location of the Lighthouse, big cities don’t try to create some false utopia by segregating their downtown from the realities of homelessness.

For example, Calgary has the Calgary Drop In and Rehab Centre (the DI) located kitty-corner from Bow Valley College, and about a block and a half from the Delta Bow Valley hotel, Eau Claire market, and downtown Calgary.

The DI serves up to 1,100 homeless daily. The Lighthouse had 38 beds for intoxicated men and women. The DI in Calgary has two entire floors.

Saskatchewan’s new Social Services Minister, Tina Beaudry-Mellor, is a good person. I hope she revisits these draconian cuts, and fires the tone-deaf civil servants who came up with them. Because this is on her now, and she’s better than this.

Saskatchewan is better than this.

Transit woes were discussed and Moore In the debate, he was reasonably well pointedly said that both Atchison and spoken, concisely delivered his message,

ELAINE HNATYSHYN

continually repeated his campaign rhetoric on better spending, and was polite and courteous to his fellow debaters. Had he more time to focus and elaborate on campaign positions, he might have resonated with voters. You can check Hein out on his website: hein4mayor.ca.

With the exception of Hein, all candidates are fixated on building up the downtown. Cripes, we have been flogging increased density in downtown for over a decade and it is getting wearisome. Top of the list is waiving levies to developers for city centre and infill projects. Well, if you do that it means someone else has to front the cost of those levies and that someone else is the taxpayer.

In essence, Moore says those lost levies will be offset by development of incremental tax districts and resulting profits from future tax increases would subsidize new projects downtown. (Hmm, wasn’t River Landing going to pay for itself through future taxation from the private development projects?)

Clark flogs his balanced growth plan and, aside from waiving development levies on infill construction, it sounds suspiciously like the growth plan approved by city council (which he supported). His view is to make it easy and predictable for contractors to build downtown and to level the playing field between suburban and downtownAaron developers. But haven’t AS101015

we heard time and time again that it costs money to grow the city and if developers are off the hook on levies, who is going to pay for the growth?

Aside from incentives for downtown developers, the candidates may impose disincentives to builders by possibly disallowing large commercial development outside of the centre core. If you are a builder the message is, you will damn well build where and what we tell you to or you won’t build at all. And there might be penalties to property owners of vacant downtown lots if they don’t build on them.

I guess it hasn’t sunk in that the provincial economy is hurting and no developer is going to spend tens of millions of dollars to build an edifice with space to sell or lease when there is no market for the space. It is a hell of a lot cheaper for a developer to pay a few dollars more on property tax and write it off than to spend millions on a project that won’t fly.

We can’t expect that any candidate can offer everything we hope for, but could they at least throw a bone to us lowly residential taxpayers? But I will take heart knowing that not one of them can do anything without the support of five councillors — and I can only hope that six of the 10 councillors to be elected will be more considerate of residential property taxpayers. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

All-star panels celebrate hall of fame’s history

H

(Continued from page 3) e was also told by the Roughrider coaching staff that he was too small to be a fullback and would have to play halfback.

He proved them wrong.

“I had many thrills at the old Taylor Field. The best was in 1963 when we lost the first game of a two-game, total-point playoff to Calgary 35-9. We came back and won the series,” said Reed, and, with typical humility, didn’t tell the audience that he scored the touchdown that capped the Roughrider comeback.

“It is time for the Roughriders to celebrate a new beginning,” said Reed, who is also a goodwill ambassador for the team.

Reed was joined by Alan Ford, John Konihowski and Gerry James on a four-man football panel at the event.

All four are worried about the state of the game today.

“Too many rules, officials are too tough on the calls, too many challenges,” said Reed, adding, “let’s move to re-examining the rules and give the game back to the players.”

James, a stalwart fullback in his days, too, said, “They’ve taken the running backs out of the game. It’s all about passing. Second and two and they’re passing. That’s not the way football should be played.”

James is unique in Canadian sports history. He helped the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the Grey Cup in November 1959, then reported to the Toronto Maple Leafs and helped them win the Stanley Cup in 1960.

“I wouldn’t be able to play in the NHL today,” James said with a laugh.

“The rules are so strict, there are too many officials on the ice, and I’d get caught easily for some of the things I used to do on the ice.”

Fred Sasakamoose, acknowledged as the first of First Nations ancestry to play in the NHL, was on the hockey panel and told the compelling story of his first weeks at a training camp with the Moose Jaw Canucks junior team.

Originally from the Sandy Lake Reserve but playing at Duck Lake, Sasakamoose was recruited by the Canucks and told by his mother that “the door was opening” for him.

“I wore army surplus clothes when I went to the camp. There were about 130 players there and I was the only Indian. After two weeks, I gave up the idea. I started to walk home, eating dried Saskatoon berries and chokecherries along the way. I saw some elevators and I realized I had walked eight hours and gone only 28 miles and still had a long way to go,” he said.

George Vogan, the president of the Canucks, drove up behind him on the highway and told him that he’d made the team. That was the start of a four-year career in Moose Jaw. Sasakamoose scored 31 goals in his final season, which gave him a shot at the Chicago Blackhawks, where he played

11 games before he opted out and came back to Saskatchewan.

In an Olympic-themed panel, track and field’s Diane Jones Konihowski and curling’s Joan McCusker spoke about the different paths they took to success.

Jones Konihowski competed at the 1972 Olympics in Munich and the 1976 Games at Montreal.

“All I wanted to do was sports. Gym was my favourite class in school and on the weekends, I practiced continuously. As an individual, I knew I had a chance to control my own destiny.

I never believed I was sacrificing anything. I chose to do what I wanted.

I am proud that at university, I got a degree in education. And in sports, I got an education in life,” said Jones Konihowski.

Her biggest disappointment came in 1980 when Canada and United States decided to boycott the Olympics in Russia at a time when she believed she had a chance to win as a pentathlete.

McCusker was part of the Sandra Schmirler rink which won gold at the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, in 1998.

“It was a fantastic journey for four Saskatchewan girls, who as a team learned to trust each other every step of the way. To reach our goal at Nagano was fantastic. A lot went through our minds while hearing the national anthem. It wasn’t all elation, it was all about exhaustion, the mental challenge, the fact we were so far away from at home at the moment. The anthem was a rainbow of every emotion we felt,” said McCusker.

Ernie Richardson, a five-time Brier champion and a four-time world champion in curling, was in the audience at the dinner and later shared special memories.

“Our rink was about three years into our career in 1955 when Garnet Campbell of Avonlea won Saskatchewan’s first Brier in the playoffs at the old Regina Stadium. Arnold, my third, and I were at that Brier. We admired the skills of Garnet, who could make those doubles with a soft shot, and who had such control of his weight. It was like one family rink learning from another,” said Richardson.

By 1959, the Richardsons were Canadian champions and he admitted, “We were fortunate to win that quickly.

We virtually came out of nowhere.”

Today, he loves watching the game.

“The game is different. The competition is tougher, there are more top teams and you have to be in A-plus shape. Today’s shooters can do it all: the changes in sliding, the way they hit the broom, the hits, the rolls and the raises.

“I have to say one thing. Their ice is always near-perfect. They don’t have to compete on the various degrees of ice we once played on and sometimes, in our day, the ice wouldn’t allow you to make the kind of shots they can make today.”

Adam Benkic makes most of opportunity with Hilltops Darren Steinke Saskatoon Express dam Benkic is making the most of his bigger shot with the Saskatoon Hilltops.

The third-year local product has taken on a larger role on defence including some starting duties at outside linebacker and gladly accepts all the field time he can get. After a strong showing in the team’s alumni game, Benkic had a huge day in the Hilltops 40-13 regular-season opening romp over the Winnipeg Rifles, making eight tackles and returning a fumble 22 yards for a touchdown.

When he joined the Hilltops, Benkic, who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 190 pounds, knew he wasn’t going to be a starter right away. During his high school days at Walter Murray Collegiate, Benkic was a quarterback, so he had to learn a new position with the Hilltops.

As Hilltops have always been a powerhouse during their 70 years of existence in the Canadian Junior Football League, Benkic knew he was going to have time to develop as it is rare for a rookie to come in and start right away. At most positions, players are backups for a couple of seasons before taking on the role of a starter — usually around year three.

For Benkic, he couldn’t pass up the chance to part of the Toppers winning history even if it meant starting out as

Adam Benkic has gone from high school quarterback to Hilltops linebacker. (Photo by Darren Steinke) a backup. He also heard from his older brother, Cole, that atmosphere on the team was pretty good, too.

“They are such a winning team which is terrific,” said Benkic. “You get the whole family factor, which I always heard from my brother.

“He always told me that everyone was like brothers. Everyone always treated each other with respect and were always helping each other out.”

Benkic knew his situation, set out to work hard and earned a couple of CJFL championship rings as a result. He started out paying his dues playing special teams, and last season he was given some snaps with the starting defence, usually at middle linebacker.

“Last year was exciting, because I got a little bit more playing time,” said Benkic.

“I got to get some experience on the field other than special teams.

“I got to kind of get some game time experience reacting to plays, seeing how the league is compared to like high school.

It was nice change just from special teams although I am grateful for all the special teams that they have given me. It is pretty tough to get a top 40 spot on this team.”

The only thing that could make Benkic’s time as a starter better was if Cole was able to be on the field at the same time. Cole was the CJFL defensive player of the year last season playing strong-side linebacker, and the league ranked him first in a top 50 players promotion heading into the current campaign.

The elder Benkic brother suffered a leg injury in a pedal bike crash during the offseason causing him to begin his fifth and

final campaign with a lengthy stay watching from the sidelines.

“You have to play the cards that you are dealt,” said Benkic. “Really, it is a tough loss having Cole out, because he has been a mentor to me throughout this whole linebacker experience coming from quarterback.

“I am going to have to take what he has given me in the past and just kind of excel in what he has shown me.”

When injuries happen, Hilltops head coach Tom Sargeant always preaches that the next guy has to be ready to step up.

Cole is getting close to returning to action, but he is still being evaluated on a weekto-week basis.

Sargeant is pleased to see Benkic is running with the opportunity he has been given.

“Our 45 volunteer child abuse educators and puppeteers receive training on child sexual abuse and appropriate responses to disclosures,” continued Pocock. “The majority of our program volunteers are university students on their way to becoming teachers, social workers, nurses, who will now also be wellprepared to talk about and respond to this complex and difficult issue.”

The SSAIC receives some funding from school divisions for I’m the Boss of Me, but those funds do not cover the full cost, which includes time and energy, transportation, as well as resources for schools, the children and their families.

That’s where the Luncheon en Vogue and support from Paramount Day Spa Salon and Boutique becomes vital.

“Our original involvement with SSAIC started because I wanted my business to partner with a local charity that supported women in the Saskatoon community,” said Laura Dutka, owner of Paramount. “I believe that as a business that draws its livelihood from the local community, it is important to give back.”

Dutka is also a member of Soroptimist International of Saskatoon, an organization that has a mandate to better the lives of women and girls locally and globally, and is another major sponsor of Lun-

cheon en Vogue.

“When we opened the fashion side of Paramount, we wanted to showcase our product in a fashion show,” she explained. “We had been doing small fundraisers for a few years with the SSAIC, so we pitched them the idea of doing a fashion show fundraiser. They liked the idea and it has evolved from there.”

Paramount provides the women’s fashions for the show, and their stylists and makeup artists provide the hair and makeup services for the show’s models.

The Luncheon en Vogue fundraiser also goes toward the SSAIC’s crisis services, agency programs, and other resources that are not fully funded.

“We are grateful for the ongoing funding by the Province of Saskatchewan through the Ministry of Justice, the City of Saskatoon, the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan, and the United Way — and yet, the demands on the agency continue to grow,” said Pocock.

“Luncheon en Vogue raises awareness about the issue of sexual violence and its effect on individuals and their loved ones, and it provides us with some additional money which we can use to not only fulfil our mandate, but also dream about how we can continue to be more effective in our work.”

Views of the World

Enough of the silly celebrations

anice Hough, on a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exploding during boarding of a Southwest flight at Louisville last week: “Maybe Blackberry needs a new slogan: ‘Our phones are old but they don’t blow up.’”

• When I heard the alleged beer-can thrower was a Postmedia employee, my first thought was “Why is Paul Godfrey playing left field for the Orioles?”

• Torben Rolfsen, on Roberto Alomar throwing out the first pitch at the Wild Card Game: “No word on whether it was a spitter.”

• Baseball has gone bonkers with the plastic sheets, goggles and champagne in dressing rooms. For example, the Blue Jays celebrated clinching a wild-card spot and then winning the wild-card game the same way. Ridiculous.

• From TC Chong: “You know you’re having a bad week when Trump hotels in the U.S. give out free copies of USA Today every day. This week the newspaper’s headline was Trump Unfit to be President.”

• From @jacktodd59: “Kim Kardashian claims she was held at gunpoint by men dressed as cops. Then Ryan Lochte came to rescue her and they got away by rocket ship.”

• Rolfsen, on the NFL announcing it

will fine teams up to $100,000 for posting social-media videos during games: “Ridiculous, but on the bright side, Kim and Kanye will never buy a team.”

• Remember a few weeks ago when I said the Patriots would have an undefeated season? I meant to say they would lose three or four games and maybe win the Super Bowl.

• I’m thinking it is going to take Donald Trump’s accountants to keep the Roughriders under the salary cap.

• We watch baseball nightly all year long, and the thanks we get are the Blue Jays playing their first playoff games during the day when most of us are at work. Thank you, U.S. television ratings.

• Rolfsen, on Disney Parks closing for the fourth time in history: “This time it’s for Hurricane Matthew. The last time was due to Jerry Sandusky’s 2010 family vacation.”

• Someone pointed out the silliness of the nation-wide manhunt for the beer-can thrower when there was a murderer on the loose in Toronto.

• Nice that the Saskatchewan Rush have signed a three-year deal with Saskatoon Media Group. It means Rush games, both home and away, will be heard on 98COOL FM. John Fraser will be the voice of the Rush.

• Vin Scully on Hunter Pence of the Giants: “He would make coffee nervous.”

• Hough, on the Centre for Disease Control in the U.S. saying men who travel to a Zika area should wait six months before having unprotected sex: “So much for those fun NBA road trips to Miami.”

• Something I didn’t know until last week: B.C. quarterback Jonathon Jennings attended a Rider spring camp in 2014. He wasn’t offered a spot at the training camp.

• Breaking News from Chong: “Creepy clowns are now menacing people all over the U.S. Matter of fact, Bozo has now made the FBI’s Most Wanted List.”

• At least the beer-can thrower didn’t hit a baby.

• What should have been of more concern to the mayor of Toronto were the racial slurs being delivered to Baltimore players by his loyal subjects. Apparently it was nasty.

• From Rolfsen: “Rough stretch for Europe: first it lost hockey to Canada, then golf to the U.S.” • Hough, on the Vikings losing Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson and still being 4-0: “A few more injuries and they will be Super Bowl contenders.”

• Brooks (The Human Vacuum Cleaner) Robinson might not be a Hall of Famer if

Josh Donaldson of the Blue Jays gets to hang out with Matt Weinmaster of Saskatoon after Game One of the Jays’ series in Texas. he played in this era. The amazing plays he made at third base for the Orioles in the 1960s and 1970s are pretty routine now.

• One baseball game for all the marbles?

I want Madison Bumgarner of the Giants on the mound.

• From Hough: “World traveller Anthony Bourdain when asked if he would dine with Donald Trump. ‘Absolutely (deleted) not.’ And this is a man who has eaten bull testicles, seal eyes and hakari.”

• The Toronto beer-can thrower missed the mark so badly that I thought it was Aaron Loup.

Lamb gets Chicago’s goat?

T

By RJ Currie he Edmonton Oilers hung updates of their 20 total NHL division, conference and Cup banners at Rogers Place. Not to be outdone, the Winnipeg Jets installed new Plexiglas.

• It’s early fall, when CFL, NFL, NHL, and NBA games are all on TV along with MLB playoffs. Last October my wife hid the TV remote where I couldn’t find it: under the vacuum.

• The Blue Bombers signed receiver Tori Gurley after the Argos cut him. Are his video highlights considered Gurley movies?

• A runaway lamb in Chicago halted

traffic before being caught and led to the slaughterhouse. I don’t believe in curses, but this likely scares the heck out of Cubs fans.

• The Indianapolis Colts released DB Antonio Cromartie, who infamously fathered his 11th and 12th child after a vasectomy. For the Colts’ sake, let’s hope this cut is more effective.

• This is the 25th anniversary of the Toronto-Calgary Grey Cup in Winnipeg.

Anyone else thinking the Blue Jays beercan thrower was Rocket Ismail?

• A Berkeley study has found the more a team’s players touch other, the more likely they are to win. In a related story, the Cleveland Browns just hired a butt-slap coach.

• Someone hung a 30-foot banner of Russian President Vladimir Putin off the Manhattan Bridge. Cheeky, but at least New Yorkers got to see a pennant hanging this October.
