An analysis of market reform trends in Saskatchewan public education
No full textFrom the 1970s onward, Western market democracies, particularly those that are English speaking and subscribe to the general tenets associated with Anglo-Saxon capitalism, have been restructuring Keynesian (post-war) era education systems through an incremental adoption of focused market reforms based on four central foci: choice, decentralization, centralization, and accountability (Altman, 2009; Ball, 1998; Kachur & Harrison, 1999; Klees, 2008; Tomlinson, 2005; Whitty, Power, &Halpin, 1998). Arguably, these changes have developed in response to ideological, political, and economic global phenomena that led to a policymaking convergence between nations (Kachur, 1999a; Klees, 2008; Tomlinson, 2005).
The purpose of this historiographic analysis was to determine whether or not, or to what extent, trends occurring in comparable education and state systems elsewhere have likewise affected policy directions in Saskatchewan. Theoretically, since these trends constitute a deductive rule, it was initially reasoned by this author that evidence for market reform in Saskatchewan public education policy should exist—and a selected sample of key policy documents from stakeholder groups served as the arena of investigation. The underlying goal of this analysis was to increase awareness and discourse among public education stakeholders with regard to the implications of market reforms.
The rational and critical analysis of the data provided by stakeholder groups suggested that evidence of market reform existed in Saskatchewan at the time of the study. The author inferred that quasi-market development was occurring and that at some future stage variations of the implications described in this study may affect the Saskatchewan public education system
Rock art in southern Saskatchewan
No full textPrior to the completion of this thesis entitled Rock Art in Southern Saskatchewan very little information regarding rock art in the southern region of the province had been compiled in one place. The purpose of this thesis is to collect information about important rock art sites in southern Saskatchewan and to record the rock art and its current condition. In addition, the rock art of the area is placed in the broader context of Northwestern Plains rock art and interpretations for the rock art found in Saskatchewan are made. Also included is a review of rock art styles found across the Northwestern Plains as defined by Keyser and Klassen (2001), including illustrative examples as well as extensive photographic material and drawings of the sites in southern Saskatchewan. Sites include Crowstand Effigy, St. Victor Petroglyphs, Cabri Lake Petroglyph, Leader Petroglyph, Hazlet Pictographs, Herschel Petroglyphs, Swift Current Petroglyph, Gouldtown and Wood River Petroglyphs, two Last Mountain Lake boulders, Riverhurst Petroglyph, Roche Percee Petroglyphs and Weyburn Petroglyph.
Rock Art in Southern Saskatchewan provides a comprehensive volume on rock art in the region allowing other researchers access to the depth of rock art in the province. It also refines the current knowledge of how and where Saskatchewan rock art fits into the larger picture of artistic activity on the Northwestern Plains
The mayflies of Saskatchewan
No full textOne hundred-seven species belonging to 54 genera and 18 families of Ephemeroptera are reported from Saskatchewan. An additional two species, Callibaetis skokianus Needham and Procloeon rivulare (Traver), are reported in the literature but their presence in Saskatchewan cannot be confirmed. Twenty-seven species are reported from Saskatchewan for the first time: Acerpenna sp. A Jacobus and McCafferty, Baetis bicaudatus Dodds, B. bundyae Lehmkuhl, B. intercalaris McDunnough, Centroptilum album McDunnough, C. conturbatum McDunnough, Cloeon dipterum (Eaton), Plauditus cestus (Provonsha and McCafferty), P. gloveri McCafferty and Waltz, Procloeon ingens (McDunnough), Pr. irrubrum Lowen and Flannagan, Pr. sp.1, Pr. rufostrigatum (McDunnough), Pr. simplex (McDunnough), Baetisca laurentina McDunnough, Brachycercus edmundsi Soldan, Caenis hilaris (Say), Cercobrachys cree Sun, Webb and McCafferty, Ephemerella needhami McDunnough, Eurylophella bicolor (Clemens), Serratella serrata (Morgan), S. tibialis (McDunnough), Leucrocuta maculipennis (Walsh), Asioplax edmundsi (Allen), Siphloplecton basale (Walker), Parameletus chelifer, and Siphlonurus sp. 1. Cercobrachys cree is new to science.
Species-level identification keys are provided for all known larvae, except for those of Leptophlebia Westwood, and for all known adult males except for those of Plauditus Lugo-Ortiz and McCafferty. Diagnostic characters useful for differentiating each species from other Saskatchewan species, selected references, Saskatchewan distribution maps, biological notes, material examined, and illustrations of taxonomically important characters, are provided for each species.
Three main faunal zones are observed: Saskatchewan River system, lentic, and boreal forest. Within each of the faunal zones several sub-zones occur. The distribution patterns observed in mayflies correspond closely to those observed in other groups of aquatic insects, except that few montane species are present in the Cypress Hills.
Some of the large river-specialist species of mayflies present in pristine portions of the Saskatchewan River system have been extirpated from much of their North American range. Analetris eximia Edmunds, Macdunnoa nipawinia Lehmkuhl and Lachlania saskatchewanensis Ide are known from only a few North American locations and should be considered 'rare'. Anepeorus rusticus McDunnough and Acanthamola pubescens Whiting and Lehmkuhl are endangered and possibly extinct
Themes of isolation in Saskatchewan radio drama
No full textABSTRACT
Powerful themes of physical and emotional isolation are found in the Saskatchewan radio plays stored in the CBC files of the Saskatchewan Archives Recorded Sound Collection. Based on the examination of a selection of these plays in their audio format, this thesis will explore themes of isolation and how they are developed in contemporary Saskatchewan radio drama as organized into the following three categories: Timescape, Landscape, and Bodyscape. The Timescape chapter deals with themes of isolation and history plays. The Landscape chapter explores isolation and landscape within three radio plays by James Quandt. The Bodyscape chapter is dedicated to plays with themes of isolation, health, and healthcare. It also highlights the abundance of playwriting by women on healthcare topics. In doing so, the thesis addresses two larger questions: 1. To what extent are themes of isolation and the struggle to relieve it developed by Saskatchewan playwrights on the radio? And 2. If the most acute geographic and demographic isolation experienced by Saskatchewan residents was historic, i.e. during the history of European settlement, why are there still strong thematic currents of isolation appearing throughout Saskatchewan radio plays written after 1980? The development of themes of isolation in this selection of plays often reinforces the value of community and the dangers of isolation. The critical framework of the thesis relies most heavily on the thoughts of Northrop Frye, Margaret Atwood, Kelley Jo Burke, and Carol Gilligan. Most of the plays discussed were produced during the period between 1978-1988. These were the first ten years of local, full time radio drama production at CBC Saskatchewan in Regina. An annotated bibliography of the plays studied en route to this thesis follows the text
The Taxonomy of the Trichoptera (Caddisflies) of the Saskatchewan River System in Saskatchewan
No full textThe taxonomy of immature and mature Trichoptera of the North Saskatchewan, South Saskatchewan, and Saskatchewan Rivers in Saskatchewan was studied from 1971-1973. Pupae were reared to the adult stage and larvae were associated with adults. Keys were made to the specific level for species collected. Thirty-eight
species in eight families and seventeen genera were collected. The thirty-eight species collected include Protoptila cantha Ross, P. tenebrosa (Walker), Neureclipsis bimaculatus (Linnaeus), N. crepuscularis (Walker), Psychomyia flavida Hagen, Hydropsyche bifida Banks, H. bronta Ross, H. recurvata Banks, H. placoda Ross, H. occidentalis Banks, H. guttata Pictet, Cheumatopsyche speciosa (Banks), f. lasia Ross, C. campyla Ross, Agraylea multipunctata Curtis, Hydroptila spatulata Morton, H. ajax Ross, H. comsimilis Morton, H. angusta Ross, Neotrichiahalia Denning, N. ersitis Denning, Mayatrichia ayama Mosely, Phryganeacinerea Walker, Onocosmoecus unicolor (Banks), Anabolia bimaculata
(Walker), Asynarchus curtus (Banks), Arthripsodes tarsi-punctatus (Vorhies), A. arielles Denning, A. annulicornis (Stephens), A. sp. 1, Oecetis avara (Banks), Q. inconspicua (Walker), Q. sp. 1, Triaenodes frontalis Banks, Nectopsyche diarina (Ross), N. intervena (Banks), H. exguisita (Walker), and Brachycentrus occidentalis Banks. Mature larvae and pupae of most families were separable to species but immature larvae were usually not separated by keys presented in this study.
Hydroptilid larvae and pupae were not separable to species, hydropti1id
pupae also being inseparable to genus. Pupae of Nectopsyche were not distinguishable to species and adults of Nectopsyche \vere also difficult
to separate. Larvae of the bifida group of the genus Hydropsyche and female pupae of H. bifida and H. bronta were not separated to species. Life history patterns of Saskatchewan River system Trichoptera were discussed based mainly on collections of pupae and adults. Species distribution in the Saskatchewan River system was discussed, with emphasis on man's possible role in affecting species distribution and relative abundance. North American distribution patterns exhibited
by species collected in this study were related to recent geological events and to patterns exhibited by some other aquatic invertebrate groups

Subsurface Precambrian of Saskatchewan
No full textAs determined from samples of cores and cuttings from boreholes that have penetrated the basement, and regional geophysical maps, the Precambrian rocks of Saskatchewan which occur beneath the Palaeozoic and later rocks consist of predominantly northtrending belts ot granitic and metamorphic rocks. The rock
assemblage found in the covered Precambrian Shield appears to be similar to that mapped on the exposed Shield, consisting of belts of schists, gneisses, and intrusive rocks separated by areas of granitic rocks.
K-Ar age determinations indicate orogeny about 1700 m.y., similar to the rest of the Churchill geologic province. However, minor post-Hudsonian igneous activity has occurred within the basement rocks, the apparent date of which is 1000 to 1200 m.y.
The boundary of the Churchill and Superior provinces, as defined by regional gravity trends, extends southwest into Saskatchewan from the Nelson River gneissic zone, and then follows the border of Manitoba and Saskatchewan into North Dakota
Lime Kilns in Saskatchewan
No full textLime kiln use in Saskatchewan from the earliest days of European settlement was researched and documented. Remaining features were relocated and oral or documentary history was gathered. This information was put in context on the prairies in regard to early cooperative industries and employment, architectural traditions, commodities in demand, the generation of supporting industries and spatial patterning. These resulting data were then used to explore several research questions. Lime kilns were associated with early trail systems upon which the earliest European settlements were established due to projected railway routes and areas suitable for wheat agriculture. Most of the earliest architectural traditions in Saskatchewan required the use of lime because homesteaders - predominantly those from northern Europe and specifically the British Isles - were building with log, stone and gravel or rammed earth and needed and to have access to a lime kiln in the area. The skill and knowledge to build and burn successful kilns was transmitted either through those bringing the technological know-how with them from their country of origin or was adopted by new settlers arriving from the east or the south. These skills were also taught by Indian Agents to native people on reserves as a way to generate income. The construction and use of lime kilns is indicative of one of the earliest settlement industries in Saskatchewan and was usually a necessity for the establishment of built heritage
