I don’t know where to start…the new Saskatchewan Aviation Council

website, Pamela Wallin attending the Wings of Saskatchewan Conference

in October, the Community Airport Partnership Program, a rural airports

initiative, the Prince Albert Centennial of Flight days. There is just so much

news.

Let’s start. Please check out the new website, same address,

www.saskaviationcouncil.ca but new logo, new look, more information, more

opportunity for our members and others to get involved. SAC also has a

Facebook page which you can link to from the website. Anyone who has

interesting photos, news events please get them to Marilyn so they can be

uploaded onto the website. And, most importantly, if you know of a young

person interested in aviation as a career, send him or her to the website as

there is a whole section on careers. That’s really why the website was

overhauled so that our young people could find information in one place

about the wonderful career opportunities available in our industry.

When you’re checking out the new website, click on the link to the PA

Centennial of Flight website and then be sure to mark August 4-5 for a visit

to Prince Albert to join in the celebrations of 100 years of flight.

Once again the Community Airport Partnership Program was oversub-

scribed. Projects approved this year will continue to make our community

and regional airports safer for all who use them. Since the inception of the

program in 2007, over $6 million has been spent on our community and

regional airports and although there is much left to accomplish, slowly and

surely improvements are being made.

SAC has started working with MHT, Enterprise Saskatchewan and the

Area Transportation Planning Committees in facilitating round table

discussions with smaller airports. We’re wondering what the issues are and

how SAC can be of assistance is finding solutions, all the while promoting

air transportation as the driver of growth it is. If your area would like to

organize a workshop and/or round table discussion, contact us.

SAC directors along with with other organizations from Alberta, Manitoba,

and the North continue to meet with Transport Canada on airport SMS

implementation. Any questions or if you want further information please let

me know and I’ll point you to the right people.

Spring is upon us, summer is coming soon this year. Dust off the airplane,

call your friendly instructor, get current and go flying. BE SAFE

Highways and Infrastructure Minister Jim Reiter announced today 15 airports have been approved for grants through

the Community Airport Partnership (CAP) program, which is designed to help offset costs for upgrades.

"I'm very pleased the provincial portion of the 50-50 cost sharing initiative will remain at $700,000 this year after be-

ing increased 40 per cent last year to meet the demand of this program," Reiter said. "By partnering with communities,

we're ensuring a network of airports with dependable infrastructure is in place to enhance economic development in

sectors like tourism, oil and gas and agriculture as well as assist in delivering air ambulance, medivac and STARS

emergency services."

The approved funding amounts and planned projects for 15 community airports are as follows:

· Assiniboia, $25,000 for Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS);

· *Biggar, $25,000 for runway repairs;

· *Birch Hills, $25,000 for runway and apron crack sealing;

· Estevan, $131,231 for rehabilitation of the main apron;

· *Gravelbourg, $66,500 for lighting, taxiway and apron repairs resurfacing;

· Lucky Lake, $45,000 for crack seal runway, asphalt repairs and repainting runway lines;

· Maple Creek, $21,629 for runway and tarmac resurfacing, and repainting runway lines;

· *Melfort, $22,000 for a GPS system;

· North Battleford, $25,000 for runway repairs;

· Rural Municipality of Frontier, $2,690 for repainting runway lines;

· Shaunavon, $35,313 for slurry seal and paint runway lines;

· Weyburn, $40,000 for completion of runway recapping; and

· Yorkton, $165,637 for runway and taxiway repairs, drainage rehabilitation, fencing, apron and taxiway

expansion.

*Denotes: communities that have not received CAP funding in the past

"We appreciate the support from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and the various communities through

this program," Saskatchewan Aviation Council President Janet Keim said. "Aviation plays an important role in the

transportation sector and the Community Airport Partnership program assists in improving the overall safety at these

airports."

Eligible airports were able to apply for this provincial program funding for projects supporting economic develop-

ment, general access to surrounding communities, air ambulances, commercial operations and aviation safety.

This Information Package is subject to revision. Check for a final version before The Rally.

1. The rally is a circuitous course of 8 competition flight legs, preceded by a very short hop to the Start Point

(SP) and finishing with a short leg back to Tisdale from the Finish Point (FP), a total of 10 actual flight legs. The

total distance is approximately 128 nautical miles and will consist of calculations, navigation and observation.

There will be questions to be answered along the route and photos to be identified.

2. Pilots may use a GPS and may use all resources available to them. This would include a co-pilot/navigator

as well as passengers.

3. Teams will be provided with a package containing route directions, questions, 2 maps (one is 1/250,000

and one is 1/500,000), photographs and a SOS, “help me find the Turning Point (TP)” envelop. (Open only if

necessary, it will cost you penalty points).

4. For those who have not had a lot of experience with 1/250,000 maps the faint blue grid squares are one

square statute mile. The maps are very easy to work with. The square miles will come into play when plotting

pictures and being scored.

5. For planning purposes it is recommended to have a sharp pencil with eraser and a straight edge for draw-

ing tracks and a protractor to measure track angles. A clip board is also a good idea.

6. Time clock will be from the GPS satellite system.

7. Before departure each pilot will advise the judge of their planned Estimated Enroute Time, EET, (from lift

off to overhead or abeam on downwind return) and their planned fuel consumption in litres to the nearest

half litre. Every aircraft should depart with full tanks and refuel again to full tanks on arrival back in Tisdale.

Each pilot will refuel their own aircraft and for the final refuelling it will be done with the pump quantity

gauge covered. Accuracy of fuel consumption estimates and EET will be scored. Those wishing to depart with

partial fuel loads may dip their tanks and refuel to the dipped level. You must have your own dip stick.

8. Photos from along the route are to be plotted on the provided map. This is where rear seat passengers

may be of assistance. Accuracy will be scored.

DR. FRED CENAIKO

Page 9 News from the Council

~ ~ ~ REMEMBERINGREMEMBERING ~~~

CENAIKO, Dr. Fred

It is with great sadness that the family of Dr. Fred Cenaiko

announces his passing at the age of 86. He died peacefully in

his sleep on Friday, May 4, 2012. He is survived by his loving

wife Helen of 62 years, sons David (Bev), Lloyd (Ulyana),

Harvey (Cheryl), daughter Ruth and 13 grandchildren, Chris,

Daniel, Colin, Mark, Mia, James, Jason (Marion), Justin, Scott,

Mark, Kirk, Rachelle and Ashley. "Dr. C" was born in the

village of Chesterhorb, Poland (formerly Ukraine) in 1926. His

father, mother and two older brothers John and Peter

immigrated to Canada in 1929 where they homesteaded in the

Quill Lake region of Saskatchewan. Fred had several passions

in life. One of them was medicine and his desire to care for and

heal people. He was a life-long student of medicine who was not

afraid to try alternative forms of medicine as long as the desired result was accomplished. He will be

remembered for his devotion as a family physician to the community of Wakaw and area for 56 years.

Fred's other passion was his walk with his Heavenly Father, evidenced by his love for people,

especially the disadvantaged. He was the driving force behind starting the Wakaw Baptist Church in

1956 and faithfully taught an adult Sunday School class for 56 years. He served as president of the

Baptist Union of Western Canada and also was a life- long member of the Gideons. His passion for

serving others extended globally through his numerous Medical mission trips to the country of

Honduras. He established the Cenaiko Foundation which provides funding for numerous Christian

agencies working in the world to alleviate poverty, pain and suffering for thousands of people each

year. Fred also served Wakaw in numerous community positions including town mayor, president of

the school board etc. His life-long achievements did not go unnoticed, as he was awarded the

Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 1990, and the Order of Canada in 2006. Fred was multi-talented, he

was a painter, a photographer, a gardener, a businessman and as a young man, an avid sports fan. He

loved to laugh and will be remembered for his sense of humor. No doubt his patients will remember

that ever-present whistle as he walked up and down the hospital corridors. Dr. Cenaiko will be sorely

missed by the countless lives he touched during his life of service. A celebration of Dr. Fred's life was

held at the St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church in Wakaw, May 9th, at 2:00 p.m. Friends wishing to

make a tribute, may do so to the Cenaiko Foundation (Box 39, Wakaw, Sask. S0K 4P0) or a charity of

your choice.
