Anna Young

Saskatoon golfer ready for LPGA debut

Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express nna Young was multi-tasking.

She had one hand on a wedge, chipping balls onto a practice green and the other on a cell phone while doing an interview. It’s understandable that she would take every opportunity to hone her game as the countdown to her LPGA debut hits single digits in days.

The 24-year-old Saskatoon pro was given an exemption into the CP Women’s Open this week in Regina. It isn’t a token Saskatchewan-golfer exemption. Young is getting oh-so-close to playing on the sport’s biggest stage. She’s won two tournaments in events rated just below the LPGA. For Young, golf wasn’t love at first sight.

“I actually found golf really boring until I was actually better at it. When I was younger my parents used to take me to golf camps for kids, which was awesome.

I had a lot of fun and made friends, but I was honestly more excited to drive the cart which I feel like most children are. Once I was able to actually hit the ball in the air, it was ‘oh, this is fun.’”

When she was 15, she realized she might have a future in the game.

“I had just gone to a golf camp in Florida and I had so much fun. There were kids that were there all year round. I was like, ‘you know what, if I really want to do this, I have to be down here all year because everyone else was in the competition I wanted to be as good as.’ That was the point where ‘if I want to do this, I have to do it now.’”

Young took her final two years of high school in the United States, where yearround golf is readily available. The first year was in South Carolina and the second inTA082021 Orlando, Florida.

I really I had no idea where it was going to take me, but I knew I wanted to go to college for it.

“In my head I wanted to turn pro, but I had a lot of interests so I wanted to make sure this is what I really wanted to do. I didn’t want to put pressure on myself to decide to be a professional golfer. When I graduated (from college) I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. This is definitely what I want to do; this is it.”

Young spends about six months in Saskatoon and six in Florida each year. Guess which months?

She said she is not preparing differently

for the CP Women’s Open. She has been asked that question a lot.

“I am still working towards being a better golfer and I am doing the exact same things I would have chosen to become a better golfer a year ago. I am just taking it one step at a time . . . I am so excited for it that I am definitely doing everything I can to be a better player in general, but that’s nothing new.

“I love golf whether I play great or play terrible. Golf is such a funny sport and you can’t always control how you are going to play. You can do everything in your control to deal with the situation at hand, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to play your best every time. That’s just not how golf works.”

Young, a five-time Saskatchewan amateur champion who once won by 23 strokes, said she doesn’t have any specific goals for the LPGA event.

“You know, I would love to make the cut and I’d love to be in the top 10, but I also know I play my best when I think in the present. I hit one shot at a time, so honestly the only goal I have for the tournament is to focus on the shot at hand.”

She was asked if she had a dream foursome if she could pick her playing partners.

“There are so many amazing players on the LPGA that I would love to play with.

But I think in this tournament, I would (Continued on page 7)

DOCKET:

To make the right decision for you or a loved one, the first step is to fully understand all the options.

• Cremation is the process of incinerating the body. A casket or container would be required if this option is chosen.

• Burial is the act of placing the body into a casket which is lowered into a grave and covered with earth.

Whether burial or cremation is chosen, a visitation, funeral and reception gives us the chance to say goodbye, and honour a loved one the way they want to be remembered.

“No, minced.”

“Don’t see it.”

“Darn, I will use powder.

“Don’t see stir fry sauce either. See marinade and crap like that.”

RCMP officer’s life lessons shared in book

Peter Garvey died in June 2017.

(Photo Supplied)

Barb Porter (in the photo) and her sister Linda Garvey co-wrote Life Lessons From a Red Serge. (Photo by Cam Hutchinson) Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express arb Porter and her sister Linda Garvey wanted to write something about the life lessons their brother, Peter Garvey, would have shared with his grandchildren had he lived longer than his 54 years.

Garvey was an RCMP officer for 30 years before succumbing to brain cancer in June 2017. He has seven grandchildren under the age of 10.

“It’s not a story about him and it’s not a story about the RCMP. It’s a series of 13 lessons that he would have taught his grandchildren,” Porter said.

The book — Life Lessons From a Red Serge —is easy to read, done in a format much like texting and tweeting. It’s valuable information in nice bites that are easy to consume.

“So it’s not a real heavy read but there is a lot, we think, of fairly interesting and profound stuff in the book,” said Porter, who lives in Saskatoon. Linda Garvey does as well.

Some of the lessons include topics such as service and helping; serve with gratitude; be grateful for the opportunity and be who you say you are.

“He was always concerned about doing the right thing, which is why the lessons were drawn directly from his life,” Porter said.

The book has taken on a much broader audience than originally intended. It has popped up on book shelves around the province, with the RCMP taking a particular interest in it.

B

“The RCMP Heritage Centre saw the book when it was in about its 12th iteration and it was revised and rewritten 38 times before we got to the product you see in front of you.

“Very early on in the process the RCMP Heritage Centre said, ‘we love the book and want to create an educational program based on the book for high school students who visit the heritage centre,’” Porter said.

Garvey wanted to be a police officer from the time he was three years old. Porter has a photo of him from back then with a tin bowl on his head and saluting. Garvey, who rose to the rank of staff sergeant, lived with Porter and her husband during his teen years.

“For us, it was like losing our oldest son which was very difficult. He had been very healthy and then had a seizure and 16 weeks later we had a funeral.”

Garvey’s path to become an RCMP officer hit a roadblock right off the bat when he didn’t meet the height requirement. Instead, he did EMT work and then became a special constable.

When the height requirement was relaxed, Garvey became a member of the force.

“That was such a happy day. He’d been down east for a number of years, so coming back to Saskatchewan to train at depot was really a big accomplishment for him.”

Garvey served across Canada, including a stint at Pearson Airport in Toronto; he was at Lake of the Woods doing border work. He patrolled the lake, looking for bad guys trying to smuggle tobacco, guns and drugs into Canada.

He served three and a half years in Nunavut. He worked on the Pickton investigation and was dispatched to Fort McMurray after the devastating fire there.

He did forensic work in Regina. At the time of his death, he was in charge of traffic for five detachments in southern Saskatchewan.

“He was very proud to be a policeman and was committed to doing the very best that he could for people,” Porter said. “He was a perpetual optimist. He saw the good in everyone and he just always believed, no matter what, everyone had something to contribute.

“He was the kind of guy that when he was up north, one of the things he noticed was there was lots of graves and cemeteries from the RCMP officers who had served there. Over the years, some of them had fallen into a state of disrepair. On his own initiative, he set about restoring a lot of those grave sites.”

The Garvey family has its roots in Wawota. Peter Garvey was an outdoorsy person with interest in camping and hunting.

“He really, really loved his three and half years of service in the far north because it was the lifestyle he really enjoyed.

He bonded with the people and with the folks who were working up there as well.

He was very much a people person.”

Porter said Garvey had a special place in his heart for search and rescue organizations. Profits from the book will be given to the Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers (SARSAV).

“He spent years doing the searches and training the volunteers. He had two service dogs that he was training to do search and rescue.

“He was acutely aware of the pain families go through when someone is missing, so he was very meticulous about searching and really felt it was priority.

“We are hoping with the sale of our book to generate some funds we can donate to SARSAV and keep the work he was doing carrying on. The training for all search and rescue volunteers is very expensive.”

The book was released in June and is the best seller at the RCMP Heritage Centre.

“We want to shine some light on search and rescue which is such a critical organization. We aren’t looking for any acknowledgment for ourselves. We wanted to create something positive out of something that had been so traumatic for everyone.

This has done that I think.”

Life Lessons From a Red Serge is available at Indigo and the Coles locations at Midtown Plaza and Market Mall. It is also available at the RCMP Heritage Centre and Gift Store as well as online through the gift store.

That always helps.

But maybe he’s heard of Alberta? I was on Twitter the other day when his comments about not importing Saudi oil and considering other countries instead hit the proverbial fan. Indeed, I weighed in, suggesting that Alberta might be a nice country to import from (ha). (You’ll recall this is all because of the Saudi human rights record and a tweet on same from our foreign affairs minister, resulting in kafuffle). He’s “walked that back” but good grief, what a dumb thing to say. I like the guy; he seems quite gentle and nice, and maybe has some good pro-people policies in his pocket. But he really has to figure out how to play politics, and maybe get a better grip on Canadian geography (zing).

And pipelines.

4. #Agminister: I was so sorry to hear Lyle Stewart, our agriculture minister, has had to step down to fight cancer. He is one of the best ministers: intelligent,

thoughtful, well-versed and tough. And laconic, as the Leader-Post described him.

Remember when he fought a would-be carjacker? I hope he takes good care and beats that cancer like he did the carjacker.

Always appreciate interviewing Mr. Stewart.

5. #Smoke: I get back from B.C. (the Island, which was smoky enough, but there are fires in that province!) to be enveloped by this disgusting, yellowishbrown, revolting and un-breathing-worthy air, crammed with particulate matter that scratches my nose and roughens my throat and plugs my ears. I remember a similar mess a couple of years ago, but it wasn’t this bad, and it didn’t last this long. I’ve never had such nasty reactions to it before.

Now they’re saying the fires’ effects may hit the U.K. and Europe! Too much heat, too much fire, too scary for me. But what the heck can be done? Something . . . before *cofcof* I have to stay inside for the rest of my life.

6. #Shakespeare and more #Smoke: Holy Schmickers, those people are good.

I attended The Merry Wives of Windsor with a big group of friends and was so impressed. I’m not a fan of that play, really, but was still thoroughly entertained and, as always, impressed with the crisp, snappy entrances and exits, the fabulous comic timing, the easily-understood repartee, all the performances (particularly Jaron Francis and Josh Beaudry in two of the lead roles), and Skye Brandon’s shoes.

Then, last Wednesday, I was all ready to see Hamlet, speaking of Brandon. He’s just one of the best actors ever to appear at Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and beyond. (Tom Rooney is another; he was in the title role the last time I saw Hamlet live.) But they had to cancel the performance because of the air quality (and it wasn’t the only one). I was so disappointed; I heard it was fantastic. On the bright side, the S on S festival is getting a new amphitheatre with very cool new LED lighting. About time. I can’t wait.

Thank goodness for a kind grocer

“I

(Continued from page 2) t’s in a bottle. Next to the rice.

I called but your phone went to voice mail. Just come home. K?” A kind grocer person helped me find the stir fry sauce. In my defence, it took him two or three minutes, and he’s the grocer person.

Sandy texted me one more time.

“Can you get a red onion?”

I went back to the veggie section. I looked at those plastic bags and wanted to cry. I would blame my tears on the onion.

I carried the onion to the checkout. I saved the world a plastic bag and me a public meltdown.

Epilogue: Sandy found some minced garlic at home and the stir fry was delicious. Hers is the best. Some day we will have you all over to try it for yourselves.

***** When I am out in the front yard or driving down the street, I see many people walking their dogs. A few weeks ago, I noticed one of the regulars was walking alone. I hope his dog just needed a couple of days off in the heat or smoke, but I tend to fear the worst in these situations. I hope everything is OK. *****

Sandy and I have known each other since October 1973. We got married on Aug. 19, 1978. That means we just celebrated our 40th anniversary. We have known each other for about 16,400 days. Isn’t that a crazy number when you think about it? I’m hoping we can get another 7,000 or 8,000 days on Earth and they are even better days than the first 16,400.

Music and a nun helped me learn English until a song I knew came on and started to sing. I learned so much from her. I can thank her for opening a world to me.

We had a lot of fun; sometimes we would dance to the music while I attempted to sing.

When I was 10, the First Nations students were allowed to bus into the closest town and attend a regular school. It would be the last time I would see my first teacher of the English language.

Even in 1970, it was still rare to find electricity on a reserve. If you wanted to hear music, you had to make your own.

To this day music still plays a pivotal role in the lives of the people, especially the younger generation.

There are few homes where someone doesn’t play a musical instrument, sing or dance. Today the world of music is wide open, but back when people didn’t have electricity they would gather outside in the summer time and jam.

Most of the adults grew up in the ’60s, so there was early rock and roll played by the group. There was always someone with a fiddle. The children would gather with

the adults and the fiddler would start with the Red River Jig. People would get right into it with the guitars and clapping along as the kids kicked up a storm. If one of the adults thought one of the kids was doing the actual jig they would throw quarters in our direction. Back then, a quarter could buy a pop and a bag of chips so I would put everything I had into the dance. Sometimes I would walk away with a few dollars. Later, my buddies and I would head for the store.

This past summer I was way up north, less than a hundred miles from the border with the Northwest Territories. There I met people who were only fluent in Cree.

I swear I met white people, people from Asia and wee little children who spoke Cree. There were people with hand drums and we sang traditional songs.

During one of the breaks, I went to have a look at a lake by the village. I ran into a boy I had met earlier, one of the fluent Cree speakers. He pulled out his cellphone and played a song he knew. Then he started to sing the song in perfect English.

I’d seen that somewhere before.

Leading Jockey

N

icholas Patrick is the leading rider at Marquis Downs this year, with 25 wins in 74 starts. That is nine wins ahead of Neville Stephenson.

Patrick’s horses have won more than $74,000.

Patrick started riding professionally in 2008 in Trinidad and Tobago. He won the jockey championship in Trinidad once and was the top apprentice twice. Marquis Downs is his first stop outside of Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Guyana.

In the Jockey Spotlight in Racers, the program at Marquis Downs, Patrick offered advice to other riders. “Work hard, be focused and do not disrespect anyone. Jockeys are just workers; they can be replaced anytime.”

After the season at Marquis Downs ends on Sept. 8 with the running of the Saskatchewan Derby, Patrick plans to return to Trinidad, where he can race during the winter.

His goal is to one day ride at Belmont Park in New York. That just might happen. He sure has made a name for himself in Saskatoon.

Post time at Marquis Downs on Friday and Saturday evenings is 6:35 p.m.

(Sandy Hutchinson took a series of photos of Patrick during a recent race at Marquis Downs. The race was one of those 25 victories.)

Anna Young hopes she can inspire young golfers that’s not what I’m thinking about. One shot at a time is my goal,” she said with a laugh. “I would not be sad about it.”

Young also sees the tournament as an opportunity to inspire young Saskatchewan golfers.

“Competitive golf in Saskatchewan isn’t as big as it is in some of the other provinces. I would love to inspire more people here to go and do it. It is hard to get kids into golf because all the other sports are fast moving and exciting. There are so many great things about golf once you can hit the ball in the air. That’s a big thing.

“You have to get the kids out on the golf course or you have to get them inspired by somebody. If I can be that person that would be super awesome.”

And how did the practice session at Moonlake Golf & Country Club go while she was doing the interview?

“I am using a 57-degree (wedge) … I have a hole about eight yards away and I’m doing short chip shots and focusing on hitting the ball on the centre of the club

face and hitting it solid. I also like this drill when I am talking on the phone because it is convenient; one hand on the phone and one hand chipping. If I can do this and have a full-on conversation with somebody and still hit good shots then it is going to become more natural.”

She laughed when asked if she can text while doing the drill.

“Usually I will only do this if I am talking on the phone. Honestly, I don’t like having my phone out when I practice but if I do have to call somebody I do take advantage of that and use one hand. It’s another minor challenge to add to practise.”

Now it’s onto the CP Women’s Open at Wascana in Regina where approximately 90 of the best golfers in the world will play for more than US$2.5 million.

Anna Young is excited about making her LPGA debut.

(Photo by Darrel Hofmeister)

For Young, the excitement is building.

“I am so excited for it that my first LPGA event is going to be in Saskatchewan and it’s the Canadian Open. It’s the first one ever in Saskatchewan so it just means so much more.”

Artist finds inspiration in downtown YXE

Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express onika Kinner-Whalen didn’t expect to find beauty in Saskatoon’s downtown.

As a landscape artist who grew up on an acreage and part-time at a lake, she had always gravitated toward nature. In fact, she had long avoided downtown Saskatoon, considering it an “urban jungle” with “cold and soulless hubs constructed on lifeless concrete.”

“The inspiration for everything I do is out of the city,” said Kinner-Whalen, a Saskatoon-based textile artist and juried professional member of the Saskatchewan Craft Council.

“It’s always the big sky and all the big, open fields and the river and that kind of thing — so I was a little apprehensive about going downtown.”

Kinner-Whalen’s perspective on downtown changed in 2016 when she landed a part-time job at the Saskatoon Open Door Society on Third Avenue.

With camera in hand, she began spending her lunch breaks wandering and exploring the downtown area, which she soon came to realize was awash in line, form, colour and “a history of human spirit” that she hadn’t previously known was there.

Her adventures in the downtown core prompted her to step out of her comfort zone and find inspiration in unexpected places.

M

Her Back Gate is a 16 by 20 inch work in fabric and thread on canvas “I really wasn’t expecting any emotional attachment to anything about downtown. . . . That was my expectation, and I was totally wrong,” she said.

Kinner-Whalen’s downtown “discoveries” and the resulting photographs inspired Gathering Places, an exhibition of her textile work that is now on display at the art gallery in the Frances Morrison Central Library. Her impressions of Saskatoon’s architecture – such as the iconic Bessborough Hotel, the Park Town Hotel and other buildings – are presented in classic Urban Sketcher style.

Artist Monika Kinner-Whalen discovered creative opportunities downtown.

(Photos Supplied) Kinner-Whalen has 16 pieces on display at the library. The artwork is fabric and thread on canvas; she purchased painter’s canvases and then pulled out the staples and took the canvases off of the wooden stretcher bars so that she was able to create her textile art.

“It’s all drawn on my sewing machine,” she said.

Kinner-Whalen said she found a lot of humour as she explored downtown; many of the unexpected things she noticed – such as a dumpster covered,

graffiti-style, with the word “poutine” – made her laugh or smile.

“It’s so funny. In Canada, if you’re going to deface something, you write the word ‘poutine’ on it. It’s just really humorous.”

As a blogger, Kinner-Whalen began sharing her downtown photos with the public and received positive feedback on her images and observations. She soon found herself looking forward to going downtown.

Ukrainian Day in the Park a celebration of independence Shannon Boklaschuk Saskatoon Express hen Iryna Matsiuk lived in Kyiv, Ukraine — a large European city with a population of about three million people — she didn’t do any volunteer work.

But after immigrating to Canada seven years ago and settling in Saskatoon, she noticed the culture of volunteerism in her new home. As a result, Matsiuk became involved with Ukrainian Day in the Park, Saskatchewan’s largest outdoor Ukrainian festival, and is now focusing on marketing and public relations in her volunteer role with the event committee.

“Usually we have about 200 volunteers that we need to find for our festival, so it’s a pretty big event when you think of that, the number of hours,” said Matsiuk, noting the majority of the annual event’s committee members are immigrants from Ukraine.

“I think it’s kind of amazing to see this culture of volunteerism overall in Canada and especially in the Prairies and in Saskatoon. I personally learned a lot,” she added.

“I’ve never volunteered in Ukraine; you know, I’m honest about it. But then when I moved to Canada, it’s kind of like a passion combined with a little bit more time — less time in traffic — and you see that you can make a difference.”

This year, Ukrainian Day in the Park will be held on Aug. 25 from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. It is moving from its usual location in Kiwanis Park to Rotary Park, west of the Broadway Bridge. The event offers artistic performances, Ukrainian dancing, a live band, cultural displays, Ukrainian food, beer gardens and souvenir vendors.

Another feature is a children’s corner with bouncy castles, colouring activities, puzzles and workshops on cross-stitching, embroidery and traditional printmaking.

“We usually have a lot of families coming with kids, so one of the highlights this year will be a Ukrainian dance steps workshop from some of the city’s best dancers,” said Matsiuk.

Admission to Ukrainian Day in the Park is free. Some of the festival’s busiest years have drawn about 9,000 to 10,000 attendees, said Matsiuk, adding that the event attracts people from a wide variety

Ukrainian Day in the Park is always a colourful event. (Photo Supplied) of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, as well as Ukrainian immigrants and Canadians with Ukrainian roots.

“I’m really happy to see that we have a lot of newcomers from other countries that may not know much about Ukrainian culture or Saskatoon or Canada — and, for them, it’s kind of like the celebration of the multiculturalism . . . ,” said Matsiuk.

Saskatchewan is known for its large Ukrainian population and its relatively high level of Ukrainian immigration. The provincial government designated 2016 as the Year of Saskatchewan Ukrainians, acknowledging the 125th anniversary of the first wave of Ukrainian immigration to Canada and Saskatchewan.

According to numbers provided by the Saskatchewan government in 2016, Ukraine is the fourth top source of immigration to the province. More than 13 per cent of Saskatchewan residents trace all or part of their ancestry to Ukraine.

Now in its 16th year, Ukrainian Day in the Park was started in Saskatoon as a celebration of Ukrainian Independence Day. Ukraine became independent from the Soviet Union on Aug. 24, 1991; as a result, Ukrainian Day in the Park is always held in late August.

“For us, it’s very important to kind of keep it going and keep celebrating,” said Matsiuk. “It’s what we have; this is our history, our culture, and we are really happy to share that with the larger community.”

For more information about Ukrainian Day in the Park, go online to www.ukrainiandayinthepark.ca.

“I

Among the first things KinnerWhalen noticed in the city’s core were the sidewalks and the grates around the trees. Some of them were quite decorative, she said, and were emblazoned with words such as “Third Avenue.”

“There was so much design in it,” she said. “And then, even closer to River Landing, there’s some stories and words in it, and there’s a lot of Aboriginal history in the grates. . . . Usually we’re so busy going from Point A to Point B. We’re walking on this stuff, and I’m like, ‘This is amazing.’ So I’m stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, taking pictures straight down.”

Other things Kinner-Whalen noticed included plants growing in cracks in the sidewalks – which she felt “seemed odd, because it’s all cement” – and buildings with windows that weren’t placed in rowed patterns.

Ultimately, Kinner-Whalen has concluded that downtown Saskatoon is full of “human spirit,” and she was surprised to find that so appealing.

“Humans made downtown,” she said. “People designed these buildings, designed the sidewalks, designed the

Teaching students what it means to be “Open to All”

W

ith a guiding principle of being “open to all,” Saskatoon Public Schools is creating welcoming classrooms and educating students about the powerful importance of diversity for the future of our society.

Through citizenship education, the school division aims to create empathetic, respectful, action-oriented students who will employ their learning in the classroom and carry it out into our community.

In recent years, the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has led a citizenship education project that developed classroom-ready resources aligned with the existing curriculum. Facets of citizenship education can be found throughout the Saskatchewan curriculum in social studies, history and Native studies. Saskatoon Public Schools – with guidance from SHRC – has moved this edu(Continued on page 13)

At Saskatoon Public Schools, we are open to all.

Our goal is to see all children and youth discover, develop and act upon their potential.

(Continued from page 12) cational focus beyond being kind and tolerant of others to developing deeper critical thinking and empathetic processes. This allows students to compare their own viewpoints and experiences with someone else’s in a classroom environment, which supports analysis, questioning, and deeper understanding.

Sherry Van Hesteren, education consultant for Saskatoon Public Schools, said what students are able to create in the classroom is what our school division hopes they will bring into their world in the future.

“We want the classroom to be a robust, pluralist democracy,” said Van Hesteren.

In the 2017-18 school year, Saskatoon Public Schools received support from the Concentus Citizenship Education Foundation to introduce a comprehensive learning resource in eight pilot schools. The resource aims to strengthen the knowledge and skills of students to participate fully in Canadian democracy by focusing on five Essential Citizenship Competencies: Enlightened, Empowered, Empathetic, Ethical, and Engaged.

Developing these competencies in ageappropriate ways from Kindergarten to Grade 12 will help foster a respect not only for democracy, but our increasingly multicultural and diverse community.

Key to introducing these lessons to students has been teachers creating the conditions for cultural safety in the classroom. Van Hesteren said teachers want to foster environments where students feel comfortable expressing their diverse perspectives and seek out viewpoints that differ from their own, including those that are opposed or feel unfamiliar, in order to have mutually respectful, enlightening relationships.

“Citizenship education equips stu-

dents with the knowledge, skills, and disposition to create cultural safety for one another,” said Van Hesteren. “In the learning community, we learn how to treat others in ways to feel safe, reveal their identities, and reach their potential.”

This level of trust allows all students to operate at “full power,” she explained.

“Unless students can offer that cultural safety to one another, then the likelihood of them being able to do so as citizens in other contexts is very low.”

Through citizenship education, Saskatoon Public Schools is developing strong, critical thinkers who have the ability to understand complex problems and multiple points of view, and who feel a commitment to take action to reduce inequities. These lessons are accomplished through inquiry-based learning from K-12, which builds deeper understanding of history and society through each grade.

“How you learn is as important as what you learn.”

Growth provides exciting opportunites for Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools

T

here are not too many things in our modern society that have remained unchanged in the past 100 years.

Or even the past decade, for that matter.

And fact is, change is happening at an accelerating pace.

Greg Chatlain, Director of Education for Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools, says the same is true for the growing school division he leads.

Change and growth present challenges, and challenges provide exciting opportunities to improve the delivery of Catholic faith-based education, he said.

“As we look to change and evolve and develop into the type of education that is needed in this day and age, lots of things continue to change, supported through technology, but also through good pedagogy, good teaching practices and supports for what we are able to bring forward for families and communities in this coming year.”

Chatlain talked a lot about communities in an interview—how best to serve them, and how strong communities enhance both the educational and faith AS082014for Aaron experiences students, parents and

division staff. He cited new Canadians as an example. Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools has been meeting the needs of new Canadians for decades, but the number of newcomers has been increasing and changing communities for the better.

“The numbers continue to grow from all parts of the world, and it brings great diversity and great strength to our communities. Because it is not so new anymore, we have a much better understanding of how to be welcoming, how to support and how to be there for families that are new to the community and new to Canada.”

Chatlain stated that the increased diversity helps staff be more attuned to the wide variety of services and supports various members of the school community need.

“Seeing immediate needs is one thing, but as families progress through their 13year relationship with the school division, some of the supports and needs are a little different. Communities are getting quite adept at providing those as well.

“There will always be more that we want to do than resources to do them,”

said Chatlain alluding to tough fiscal budgets the last few years. “That partnership between the school community and the school division tries to marshal resources to where they are needed as best as possible. We just keep learning more and hopefully get better at responding to the needs of the students and families we serve.”

The 2017-2018 school year saw six schools open: four in Saskatoon, one in Warman and one in Martensville. Those are the first Catholic schools in the latter two cities.

“That was certainly a busy year, but things went very well for the new schools TA082020 Tammy and the new communities.

I know they

are very excited for Year 2. After Year 1, you have been through the cycle once and everyone is getting settled. Everyone worked very hard to get everything in place last year and I know they are looking forward to building on that foundation this coming year.”

He said joint facilities and community space worked well.

“We are still working through some of the things in the background, but things have worked very well. They have become hubs of activity for each of the communities, so we are very pleased to see they are being used heavily.”

Chatlain also spoke at length about one (C0ntinued on page 15)

“St. Frances continues to be an amazing story of a community—a program and a support and a style of education— that is resonating with families, and ultimately, that’s what it is about.

“Parents are first and primary educators for their children. They know what’s best for them. In this foray into that style of education, we didn’t know whether it would resonate with community and with parents. Lo and behold, it has resonated beyond anyone’s expectations. It inspires us to think about the next leg of that journey and where that takes us for the next 10 years.”

Chatlain also spoke about how a partnership with the Saskatoon Tribal Council goes part and parcel with parent

TA082007 Tammy

and community participation.

“I think St. Frances has been a really good example of how to work with many partners and the strength that can come when it is done in that fashion.

Working together this way with a number of stakeholders has born a lot of fruit.”

The popularity of the program has led to St. Frances to outgrow its space.

“The program is 10 years old and has grown to the point where a new building is required. We are anxious for an announcement of a new building.”

“Even though the back-to-school ritual happens every year, it’s always changing and bringing us new challenges and opportunities. We’re are ready for the new school year to begin, and we are excited to meet all the new children and all the new families and welcome back those who have been with us before.”

But I find that there is some embedded lint that does not seem to budge, even after I have vacuumed the screen and then used a toothbrush (dry and then wet) to try and remove it.

Is there another more effective and easier method I can use to remove the embedded lint?

Where did Thursday night football go?

urtis Granderson organized a visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum during the Blue Jays stint in Kansas City last week. One player asked if “it was mandatory.” It should have been.

• Don Trump cancelled his military parade. Instead he is going to attend one in North Korea.

• Torben Rolfsen, on LeBron James serving as executive producer on a new CBS competition series called Million Dollar Mile: “Contestants will see who can get out of Cleveland the fastest.”

• After seemingly gaining momentum, why would the CFL not schedule a Thursday night game last week? Even if the game is a dud, I’m still not tired of hearing Long Live the Night.

• Janice Hough, on Carmelo Anthony signing a one-year deal with the Houston Rockets: “This is great news for the Warriors, Lakers and Spurs.”

• Jose Urena hitting Ronald Acuna with a pitch last week mirrors team owner Derek Jeter’s lack of class.

Here’s hoping the team goes bankrupt and moves to Montreal — with a new ownership group.

• Peter Maher, former Calgary Flames radio playby-play announcer, on now-retired Jarome Iginla’s 60-plus NHL fights: “I think he won them all. At least he did on the radio.”

• I once worked in a newsroom with 70 people in a space of about 8,000 square feet. Despite people who were “distractions,” we were professional enough to put out a paper to the best of our abilities each day.

In other words, the “distractions” had no bearing on the end result. It must be different in professional football.

• Rod Pedersen, the Riders play-by-play guy, shouldn’t have played a little I-know-somethingyou-don’t when it came to Duron Carter’s release. As member of the media, tell us. As a pseudo Riders employee, keep it to yourself. There’s no middle ground.

• Here’s a tweet from Pedersen: “STOP IT. I’ve seen Canadians saying on social media this week, ‘So

glad football is back’ what with the NFL preseason games being televised. Anyone who says that should be forced to hand in their Canadian passport . . .”

Life is about choices and free speech, unless you live under Trump’s regime.

• Two from Hough: “1. Bud Light will be giving out free beer at 10 Cleveland-area bars when the Browns win their first regular-season game. Prompting the obvious question – how long can beer age? 2.

A USA Today headline said Bud Light’s promotion for first Browns win a tasteless idea. Does tasteless refer to mocking the team? Or the beer?”

• Rolfsen, on the Arizona Cardinals creating a seven-pound, $75 concession item called the Gridiron Burger: “And the Buccaneers Noah Spence, who gained 35 pounds in the off-season, said: ‘I’ll take that and a chocolate shake.’”

• Hough, on the Mets scoring 24 runs in beating the Phillies: “New York won’t be a playoff team. Now they’re just looking to score more than the Jets?”

• When I heard former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner had advice for Johnny Manziel, I feared it was going to be how to have seven children.

• Warner’s real advice: “Let’s get down to zero interceptions, and make a whole bunch of plays. And that’s how he’s going to make his way back.” How profound.

• From Hough: “Due to rule technicalities, Robinson Cano, returning from a 90-game PED suspension, is ineligible for any playoff games, while Roberto Osuna, returning from a 75-game domestic violence suspension, is eligible. If Cano had only beaten his girlfriend instead of taking PEDs he could play in the postseason. Is this really how MLB wants to compete with the NFL?” • Seth Meyers on NBC, after the New York Mets’ worst loss in franchise history, 25-4 to the Washington Nationals. “It was so bad, even the ceremonial first pitch was hit for a triple.”

Views of the World

I dream of Eugenie

By RJ Currie wo things CFL receiver Duron Carter has in common with former U.S. president Jimmy Carter: 2. Same surname; 1. They have both worked for peanuts.

• BC-born Mariners pitcher James Paxton is on the disabled list with a badly swollen left forearm after a line-drive shot struck him near the elbow. Ow Canada!

• Saskatchewan set or tied 31 daily heat records from August 10-12, reaching 42.3 C in Moose Jaw. It all started in Ohio after southwest winds blew across Urban Meyer’s seat.

• Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard lost in Round 1 of the Rogers Cup, but she didn’t lose ranking points since she also lost the opener last year. Not sure if that’s good news or bad news.

• It might be fun to see Reds all-star Joey Votto play in Japan, just to hear fans say “Domo arigato, Mr. Joe Votto.”

• An umpire working a Yankees-White Sox game paused procedings in the ninth inning to get a bug removed that had flown into his ear. Maybe the first ump in MLB history to fly out.

• How does concussed Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger differ from London’s iconic clock tower, which is closed for renovations? The latter Big Ben can’t have its bell rung.

• Dwight Howard, the much-travelled new Wizards forward, reportedly carries just three per cent fat on his body. Twenty per cent if you include his head.

• When the Browns win their first regular-season game, Bud Light will give out free beer at local bars. So for one day, Baker Mayfield won’t be Cleveland’s top draft pick.

• Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh said he doesn’t eat chicken because it’s a nervous bird. Shame it didn’t stop his Wolverines from laying an egg last year.

• The Buffalo Jills haven’t cheered the Bills since 2014 after doing something the NFL found egregious and way out of line for women. They asked to be paid at least minimum wage.

RJ’s Groaner of the Week Several North Carolina football players were suspended for selling their school-issued, special-edition Nike Jordan footwear. What’s the problem? Did the shoes have tar heels?
