REGINA — Chris Szarka is used to running footballs for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but the fullback also has a new role to tackle -- city councillor. Szarka, who has been with the Riders for 13 years, won a seat on Regina city council during municipal elections held Wednesday in Saskatchewan. Szarka practised with the green and white Thursday but that didn't stop him from getting down to work. "My first order of business was told to me by (Mayor) Pat Fiacco ... and the rest of councillors, that is to go out and win on Saturday," Szarka said, laughing.
