September 2005 IBEW Journal L.U. 319 (u), SASKATOON, SK, CANADA—As of May 2, 2005, the City of Saskatoon Electric Utility changed its name to Saskatoon Light and Power. Local 319 brothers and sisters took a big part in the process of developing the new name and logo. Local 319 honoured in 2005 the retirement of three longtime members: Bro. Daniel Marshall–39 years of service, Sister Louvaine Muyres–40 years of service, and Bro. Brian Craggs—28 years of service. With great sorrow we mourn the loss of our brother James Dagenais, who passed away Jan. 30, 2005, after a short but hard-fought battle with leukemia. Ninko Ostojic, P.S.

Elected to the Examining Board: John Komarmy, Oscar Ordaz and Sal Svolto. As you noticed one name is missing. After 22 years of service Bro. Marty Chew has retired. He served with dedication for many years as an Executive Board member, vice president and president. Marty, you will be missed. Newly elected officers were sworn in at the July 7 union meeting. The work picture here is good, with almost full employment. Frank Albury, P.S.

L.U. 369 (em,es,i,lctt,o,rtb,rts,spa &u), LOUISVILLE, KY—Local 369 and the Greater Louisville Building and Construction Trades Council have taken on the task of acquiring a project labor agreement with Louisville Gas and Electric Company. The battle is to merely get the company to use local workers on its upcoming project in Trimble County. It has been past practice to employ out-of-state workers and contractors, with little or no regard for the skilled craftsmen who are readily available in the local area. With help from all parties involved we just might be able to make this a reality. On a lighter note, the Electrical Workers Bowling League will start its 58th consecutive season the Tuesday after Labor Day. We will also be hosting the 62nd annual International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Bowling Tournament June 9-11, 2006. John E. Morrison Jr., P.S.
