Cheers&Jeers Page 2

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2012

Cheers to the helpful staff at McComb’s for their excellent customer service.

Jeers to the people who angle park in the bays on city streets. It takes away a lane of traffic.

Cheers to everyone who participated in the Bruins alumni game.

Jeers to long lineups at the grocery store.

Twenty minutes later I’m still waiting there.

Could you open up another lane, people?

Cheers to the woman who offered to help an older man carry his four grocery bags at No Frills.

Jeers to whoever is in charge of looking after the parking lot at Spectra Place.

The ice in the parking lot is better than in the rink.

Cheers to the holidays being over. It’s nice to go back to a routine.

Send your Cheer or Jeer to jbaker@estevanmercury.ca and husbands often say, “Thanks, but no thanks” unless it’s french fries. But I’m betting that this ultraeasy veggie dish will get remarks more like, “Wow, this is good! When can we have this again!?”

Creamed Celery and Peas Usually vegetable dishes get no respect. Kids

1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery 1 (2-ounce) jar chopped pimiento, undrained 2 cups frozen peas,

Jeers to people who continue to smoke with their children in the car.

Jeers to the woman who was texting while she drove very slowly, holding up traffic on the street. thawed 1/3 cup fat-free sour cream 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1. In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, saute celery for 6 to 8 minutes or just until tender. Stir in undrained pimiento and peas. Continue

cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often.

2. Add sour cream and parsley flakes. Mix well to combine. Lower heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture is heated through, stirring often.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your batteries should be fully recharged by now, making you more than eager to get back into the swing of things full time. Try to stay focused so that you don’t dissipate your energies.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to charge straight ahead into your new responsibilities.

But you’ll have to paw the ground a little longer, until a surprise complication is worked out.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rival factions are pressuring you to take a stand favoring one side or the other. But this isn’t the time to play judge. Bow out as gracefully as possible, without committing yourself to any position.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Reassure a longtime, trusted confidante that you appreciate his or her words of advice. But at this time, you need to act on what you perceive to be your own sense of self-interest.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You need to let your warm Leonine heart fire up that new relationship if you hope to see it move from the “just friends” level to one that will be as romantic as you could hope for.

Five predictions for 2012

He He She She Said By: Jordan Baker

Much of the year will unfold in an unpredictable manner. Who was in Vegas betting on the Arab Spring last year, the collapse of RIM or the fall of Greece? Well, somebody probably made a little money betting against Greece.

These are five predictions of what is to come in the next year: The current U.S. president will become president-elect Obama. People aren’t happy with the way things have gone in his first term, but I can’t see more than half the country getting behind one of the clowns vying for the Republican nomination, whoever finally gets it. Though the Americans have surprised me before.

The Rush album, Clockwork Angels, will finally arrive.

The aging Canadian trio is allegedly in the studio kicking out jams for their 60th or so album, which would be more appropriately dubbed Rockers with Walkers. Everybody who loves music will be rolling around unable to get to sleep waiting for that one like it’s Christmas morning.

In hockey, the Toronto Maple Leafs will miss the playoffs again. Sorry Leafs’ fans, but it’s just not your year, again. The Stanley Cup will go back to Chicago for the second time in three years. The team is young and talented, and the young leaders who won them the cup have an extra two years of experience. They are unstoppable.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) will pass into Internet law, and the web will no longer be a free and open space. The act will spell the end of user-posted content, because websites just would not take the chance that something infringing on copyright could be uploaded. For those trying to wrap their heads around this, yes, that would mean no more YouTube.

Finally, in an Olympic year in London, soccer hooligans are going to ruin the equestrian event. Either that or the whole proceedings will be cancelled when the forecast predicts rain until the following June. People thought a little precipitation dampened the games in Vancouver. This is London.

Tonaya Marr Maybe It’s Just Me like more resolutions don’t see February than actually succeed.

So why do we keep making them year after year?

My theory is that we’re optimists. Each new year looks like a fresh start and we all want to believe that we’re capable of huge improvements that we aren’t able to make during the year.

Like my nail biting.

Every New Year’s Eve for a decade, I swore to myself that I’d never chew off another fingernail again. And it wasn’t long before I was nail-less. But I’ve had fingernails for two-and-a-half years now – want to know what made me change? It wasn’t a resolution made at the end of a year. It was a bet, a challenge that I wouldn’t be able to quit.

And being stubborn and competitive, I quit cold

Every new year is a fresh start for many people; a time to set goals, make plans for the future and work toward what they ultimately want for themselves, their friends and their families. It’s also a time when people who think they’re experts on culture start making predictions about the year to come. I am not an expert on anything, but I’m going to fake it for a bit and let you know what I think is coming up.

1) President Obama isn’t going to be re-elected.

Oprah, or maybe Taylor Swift, will take over the United States. This will be an epic time in a country that has never elected a female president. Both women seem to have the whole “ruling the public” thing all figured out. And their combined wealth could probably help a bit with the U.S.A.’s massive debt. Or at least they’ll make pleasant TV shows and songs that will make the nation feel a bit better.

2) Hockey referees from outer space will appear for all games because no refs of planet Earth ever do a good enough job to make everyone happy. Hometown reffing is a real thing, I don’t care what people say, but if the ref comes from Mars or something, then games would be fair.

3) Coloured denim will go out of style. For men and women. UGGs will also go out of style. And it’s about time.

4) The City of Estevan will build a ski hill outside of the city using dirt from the new housing developments. This will be ideal because Estevan is often cold in the winter and sometimes gets a lot of snow. And living in a cold, flat place makes no sense, because we go without the only benefits of winter: skiing and snowboarding. Or at least that’s what I’ve heard.

New Year’s resolutions Every year on Dec. 31, people around the world make plans for the upcoming year. For a lot of people, their New Year’s resolutions focus on their weight, quitting smoking, and just health goals in general.

I also make resolutions. I like the idea of having goals going into a new year. Getting rid of my bad habits seems so simple at the end of December.

All I have to do is say that “Well, I’m done biting my nails forever” and the NYE gods will make it so.

Because that’s how resolutions work, right?

They’re like magic wishes and one only needs to will them into existence. It’s like an unlimited number of wishes to be granted by a genie found at the bottom of a bottle. I’m not sure what kind of bottle exactly, that depends on what you’re drinking.

Oh wait, no. As much as we’d all like to believe that NYE gives us all the magic ability to change our lives for the better, it seems

turkey, and I’ve never looked back.

So maybe that’s what it takes: a challenge, not a fresh start. Someone telling you it’s not possible.

So ... if that’s the case, wouldn’t it make sense to make resolutions Dec. 30? Everyone knows it’s impossible to make a huge change on the last day of the year; that’s what New Year’s Eve is for, right?

Going against the norm, refusing to do what everyone else does, that’s making your resolution a challenge.

Maybe that’s the secret!

Or maybe it just works if you want to quit biting your nails.

Perspective

A look back at the year of forests There was a lot that happened in 2011.

In the Information Age, there’s no escaping anything. It’s time to look back and evaluate some things in the year we have all had to say goodbye to.

It was a good year for Canadian music.

With me in a bit of a folk phase for a long time now, I’d like to say Feist’s Metals was the album for me last year. It was great, but my hip-hopping brother seems to have rubbed off on me because the Canadian album of 2011 really goes to a kid from Toronto.

The Weeknd’s House of Balloons defines lyrically fresh. What’s different about The Weeknd compared to much of the other hip hop I don’t listen to, is that he possesses a voice of gold to contrast the dark and sometimes depraved lyrics.

The Canadian news story of the year has to be the Conservatives taking majority power in the House of Commons. I may not like it, but the way this government is going about their business and the type of legislating they are doing, it’s going to leave a lasting impression on the country for years to come. Whether that impression is favourable or terminally bad is still up

Jordan Baker Thoughts From My Fingers in the air. Being an optimist, I’d like to say that I am hopeful for something that right now seems so hopeless.

Steve Williams was one of the most talked about names in sports last year. If you’re wondering what sport he plays, he’s a race car driver from New Zealand.

He was a champion in 2006, but that’s not why he was the sportsman, or poor sportsman of the year in 2011. He also used to caddy for Tiger Woods, making him the first caddy ever to grab as many headlines as his pro in a single year.

Tiger may not have ended their relationship on the most cordial or appropriate terms when he fired Williams in 2011, but it’s also been well-established that Williams broke the most sacred of unwritten rules in a sport that tediously writes out every single rule.

He broke the Caddy Code that says caddies are supposed to be seen and not heard, and if at all possible, not seen either, because well, they’re just caddies. It’s not the easiest of jobs, but the guy made millions carrying Woods’ clubs. He probably should do it quietly like all of his peers.

The United Nations also dubbed 2011 the International Year of Forests and Chemistry. What those two things have in common, or what significance they held in 2011 is a tough one to decipher. I understand that to appreciate forests and worry about conservation is very noble, but chemistry?

Apparently the purpose of that one was to recruit young people into science fields. The UN should have greater concerns than fi lling an occupation that is short staffed.

Now that the year is done, it’s time to select the best of the Southeast Trader Express front page photo contest. What better way to look back on the previous year than through the lenses of the community?

You can vote for your favourite photo through the Estevan Mercury’s Facebook page.

Childhood memories of the garden A new year has arrived, and that leaves most of us thinking about the passage of time.

The passage of time, for most of us, is marked by things we do more so than the flipping of a page on a calendar.

Getting out on the golf course or dropping a hook in the water the day fishing season opens is a better mark of the arrival of spring than hitting a date on the calendar.

So Jan. 1 is here.

One of the usual signs of a new year I can clearly remember from when I was a young child on the farm was the arrival of seed catalogues in early January. It seemed that when the Christmas tree went out, and life settled into the monotony of the long days of January, the catalogues would start to arrive.

For a child, the books didn’t mean all that much, but I can certainly remember my grandparents and mother poring over the pages.

As I grew a bit older, my grandparents lived in town, but the garden was still essential. It was both a hobby and a way to produce food.

Living on the farm, a garden was something that was a cornerstone of what ended up on the kitchen table all year long.

A root cellar was filled each fall with

Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist a couple of dozen feed bags filled with potatoes, carrots wrapped in newspaper, parsnips, turnips and shelves of canned fruit, jam and jelly.

And that full cellar started with the arrival of the seed catalogues.

It wasn’t that our garden was filled with new and different things. The tried and true filled the cellar, and I can’t say our table was a place of particularly adventurous meals.

There was one year kohlrabi was tried, and I vaguely recall it grew like a weed, but I can’t say I recall it on the table. That might be a case of a youngster being fussy or just that it was not something anyone liked, and it ended up being a treat for the livestock.

But there were certainly lots of discussions about new varieties.

It wasn’t unusual for long telephone conversations being held with the neighbours, a seed catalogue close at hand.

Today the family garden is much more

a rarity than it was when I was a child.

Back then everyone had one as a matter of course.

That isn’t the case now. You can drive a lot of back alleys in a town to find a garden that actually means filling a deep freeze with produce in the fall.

Still, seed catalogues are of interest to many.

There is something of a renaissance in terms of gardening.

It is less about filling the cellar and deep freeze as a stable of the food supply, and more about taste experiences.

Today many gardeners are looking to grow fruits and vegetables not normally grown on the Canadian Prairies. We have seen the emergence of grapes, cherries and even apricots being grown here.

That’s far different from strawberries, currants and raspberries which were the staples of my grandparents fruit patch.

Gardeners are also more apt to opt for heritage varieties of vegetables, seeking eating experiences that remind of past days, or because they deem them more flavourful than more recently developed hybrids.

Living in a suite means no garden these days, but when a new year arrives, thoughts do turn to growing food that always seems to taste better than that bought in a store.

2011 – A Year In Review Pt. II July 2011 The woes of the Village of Roche Percee and Saskatchewan’s southeast corner have struck a chord far and wide, as a benefit concert for the village is set for next Friday in Regina.

Midale’s Brad Johner will be headlining.

The concert is a freeadmission event, organized by the Regina group Witness Promotions, and all money raised will be handed over the Village of Roche Percee, said the group’s head and concert organizer Iris Williams.

After reading about the flooding on The Mercury’s website, Williams said she spoke with Estevan Mayor Gary St. Onge, and he told her that Roche Percee was most in need of help. So she decided her group would focus their energies on the village.

“It’s just awful,” she thought when she read about the flooding. “I thought, ‘This is Saskatchewan. We need to help these people.’”

Sharon Wells, deputymayor of Roche Percee, has been invited as a special guest to the concert.

“Having her there makes it very personal,” said Williams.

She added that she spoke with Wells about the best way to get the funds raised to the people in need. Everything raised will be passed to Wells, and the village will then distribute the funds from there. *** A drop off-point for goods of all kinds is now available at Park Avenue Gifts and Paradise Tan, in the stone church on the corner of Third Street and 12th Avenue.

The goods are picked up twice a week by the RM of Coalfields to be distributed to those who have been displaced by the flooding. Valerie Pelton, acting administrator for the RM of Coalfields, said there are still about 30 people staying in trailers by the Bienfait Memorial Arena and another 40 who have evacuated homes but are staying with friends or family in Bienfait.

Pelton offered words of thanks those who have

She did a pickup last Friday and Saturday, as donations have been accumulating since around June 24.

“I’m glad to live in a community where we can help each other out,” said Pelton.

The drop-off point accepts all items, new and used. Pelton noted that they have already received an “overload” of bedding.

Right now she suggested donating things that are related to camping would be great. Items like coffee makers are certainly desired. *** During a special meeting of council at the RM of Estevan, council prioritized many of the road issues they have had to deal with.

The RM of Estevan held the special council meeting on June 30 to discuss flood-specific issues within the municipality.

Roads, council decided, were the top priority.

Among those immediate priorities are projects that deal with roads forming links into the RM both north-south and east-west and tackling road issues that limit or no longer allow access to dwellings within the municipality.

“Those areas that are impeding access to houses (is a primary concern),”

U-

said Greg Hoffort, RM administrator. He noted it’s not only access to homes, but also access for farmers and businesses that need to get back to normal.

In order to assist with flood repair work, council resolved to buy a 16 inch PTO pump, at a cost of $15,000. Hoffort said they were still awaiting on delivery of the pump but hoped to have it operating early next week. The pump can filter through 18,000 gallons of water per minute.

The RM also approved abatements for houses that were vacated following the flooding. *** Adults hailing from all over the world come to Talk Time to learn English.

The weekly, group session is organized by the Estevan Area Literacy Group (EALG) and is meant to help those with varying degrees of fluency become more proficient in the local tongue. During the sitting on Monday evening at the library, 13 adults attended, who are originally from China, Germany, Mexico, Pakistan, South Korea and Ukraine. They are now all living and working in the area, though some need to improve their English skills to help acquire some jobs, or move up in their work.

Kathryn Roberton,

EALG co-ordinator, said the meetings are about learning about the community as much as they are about mastering the language.

During the Monday meeting, the group dealt with transportation, going over the keywords and how questions and answers about traveling are structured. They also covered local things like where the bus stops in Estevan and how many cab companies service the city.

“One of the reasons a lot of them don’t know some of the words is they haven’t used the service,” said Roberton. “Some of them didn’t know where the bus station was in Estevan. If they that there was a way to Regina without cars, that could be very helpful to some of them.”

She said that’s why they slip in what she calls “settlement information,” which is meant to help these people, who often fairly recent immigrants to country, become adjusted to the area more quickly.

Giving a real-world example of the language also helps with memory.

“Things like that help people remember better, if you have something solid to connect it to.”

That means a lot of the words they learn are ones that will help them immediately in day-to-day conversation.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2012

2011 – A Year In Review Pt. II August 2011 Prized pieces will go to the highest bidder, as a collection that would make the most avid collectors swoon is headed for auction.

Dean Chow, a local dentist, is a self-described “hoarder.” He doesn’t ever throw anything out, a habit he’s developed since childhood.

“I grew up in Radville, and we had a (family) restaurant there, so I started doing that back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, collecting coins and bottle caps, cards with hockey players heads on them, Rolling Stone magazine and comic books, stuff like that,” he said.

But the items from his early days of collecting will not be available at the auction.

Get ready

“And then I lost a lot of it because when I went away to college, my mother threw most of it away.She figured it wasn’t worth anything. Ever since then, I’ve been kind of a hoarder, but a hoarder in the sense of collectible items. So that really got me on the course of collecting.”

Among the items that will be available for auction are cars, like a 2003 50th anniversary Corvette convertible, acoustic and electric guitars, including a Gibson Les Paul, autographed sports jerseys and other sports memorabilia, Ducks Unlimited knives, among many other items.

Some of the Coca-Cola items date back to the opening of his family’s restaurant around 1911. Chow said in all, there are hundreds of items up for auction.

What he considers most when buying a new collectible, he said, is the rarity of a particular item. “(I look for) something

that I might be able to add to the collection, then I buy it. It would be kind of an addiction, but I’m trying to get over that right now. I’m

“I’m definitely getting over that. I think August 27 will probably be ... a certain relief that I’m over that stage of my life. I don’t know if it’ll be tearful, but it will be a little bit sad to see everything go, after a lifetime of collecting.” *** From Nicaragua with love.

pany in Nicaragua that manufactures various items out of hard woods, primarily mahogany and Brazilian cherry, harvested in the Nicaraguan jungle. Heier said his business model is to create unique, hand-crafted and high quality pieces.

Not only does 10 per cent of all sales go to a missionary institute in Nicaragua, but he uses highly-skilled locals to craft everything from dining room tables, to mirror frames.

Heier calls the furniture, “classical designs for for a castle.”

The works are made via custom order, and they don’t skimp on material. He mentioned a dining table that sits 16 people weighed about one tonne.

The pieces are all built of hard woods, not plywood.

“Some of the heavier woods have a very beautiful grain,” he said. “You get a series of different kinds of woods. The wood is like fruits in Nicaragua.”

The fruits differs between here and there, as does the wood.

“With the wood grains, it’s something very exotic.

It’s nice to bring that beauty to Estevan.”

Because the furniture is so unique and carved by hand, not run through a machine on a production line, the pieces slowly become priceless.

“It doesn’t depreciate.

It automatically becomes an heirloom as soon as it bought,” he said.

Heier said it was his religious side that kept him working in the poor country for so long. A sense of social justice and being able to train and give 25 people jobs in the shop as carpenters and carvers are what he considers fulfilling his “call to evangelize” in that country.

He repeatedly attests, “Life is about dreams. Life is about fulfilling dreams.”

9 to 11 event was moved from Woodlawn Regional Park to the Estevan Curling Rink and Lignite Miners Centre, and event co-ordinator Angela Simmons expects the festival will continue to be held in September, though the official event date is yet to be set in stone for the coming years.

“The best thing about Collage is to come out and enjoy the variety of entertainment,” said Simmons.

“It’s entertainment that is local and representative of the many cultural groups and backgrounds in our area.”

This year’s festival has been expanded to two days after the success of the first event last summer that was held for just one day. *** When one of the musical acts that frequent Creighton Lodge plays an evening, the residents of the lodge have to pack in pretty tight.

Everybody’s got a story to tell. Now everyone has a forum.

An open coffee house is scheduled at the Estevan Library for Sept. 19, allowing anybody to bring in a written piece and present it to other local writers. The library is organizing the session along with the Estevan Writer’s Group, and while the library has held similar sessions before, branch manager Kate-Lee Donohoe is hoping this will be the start of a regular sitting, whether they hold one once a month, or every few months.

She said the last one held at the library might have been last Christmas and was more of an opportunity for people to share some traditions and cultural practices. This coffee house is a time when anyone can bring a written work, be it a poem, short story, lyrics or even a part of a novel in the works, and share it with the group.

“It’s a good opportunity for those who (like to write),” said Donohoe. “(Participants) don’t have to be pros or anything.” *** Gearing up for its second annual event, the Collage Multicultural Festival is just around the corner.

than double the amount of space in the front foyer and lounge. Creighton Lodge, owned by a consortium of rural municipalities in the southeast, has already raised much of the costs for construction of the lounge which they hope to begin early next spring.

RM of Estevan administrator Greg Hoffort said the final decision to start

construction will be made by the five municipalities, which he expects to happen in early 2012.

Now that the rooms at the facility are full, with 45 total occupants, work is being done to maximize the kinds of activities that can be held at the building for its residents. The front wall of the building will be knocked out for the expansion, but no trees will have to come down to accommodate the new space. One will be transplanted to a new location.

The common area, typically designated for functions, will then be widened by 30 feet, as construction stretches part of the building closer to Hillcrest Drive. That is going to add more than 1,300 square feet to the lounge. *** If you want to make changes to your home or lifestyle, considering feng shui is one option that could be exactly the change one needs.

Feng shui is an art and a lifestyle that means coexisting in an environment that is balanced and harmonious.

explained, “Feng shui is a study of art and science that allows one to achieve (balance) by applying basic concepts and remedies to specific everyday challenges.”

24 leading a seminar on the subject that was attended by a number of locals. Hagen is a feng shui consultant at Home and Land Feng Shui in Regina, and when she means everyday challenges, she means everything from a spiritual, emotional and physical sense to financial harmony.

Hagen said though, she was intrigued by feng shui beforehand, her “journey” didn’t begin until 2008 when her newly-born son wasn’t sleeping very well.

“I found the subject fascinating and implemented these new remedies in my own life,” she said. “I could see and feel immediate results. Our son also started sleeping through the night again. At this point I thought maybe this is a coincidence.”

But maybe not, she also thought.

2011 – A Year In Review Pt. II October 2011 With all the action happening in Southeast Saskatchewan, Bienfait is now looking to get involved with a development that will bring in 14 new residential lots.

A public meeting at the Legion in Bienfait was held Oct. 12, to allow residents the opportunity to see the latest proposals for a new housing development and give some comments on the two proposals presented by developers.

The block between Young Street and White Street is where the proposal for a new park and the new lots is being planned.

As the lots were drawn on the suggested proposal, the size for lots will be about 47 feet by 140 feet deep or 47 feet by 130 feet, while those that face Carbon Avenue will be 58 feet by 129 feet deep.

Eric Salmers, of Salmers Contracting Inc., presented two options, one which was heavily favoured, and led discussion with about 30 residents who attended the meeting.

Salmers and Turnbull Excavating are the developers

for the project.

A paved road connecting Souris Ave and Carbon Ave was incorporated into the main proposal, as well as a lane connecting that new street to White Street.

Salmers said that the residents have the most input as far as what the green space is used for. It could be used for a pool, or a full-size soccer or football field, he suggested. *** A Macoun group is heading back to Haiti to lend their support to the impoverished country, and this time they’ll be taking some younger souls with them.

Some of the adults who attend the Macoun Evengelical Church have made several trips to Haiti to build schools, and Pastor Charlie Bowen has made four trips. It’s become an annual mission for the last five years, and he’s ready to make his fifth appearance, when he takes a group of 16 and 17-year-olds there in February.

church has opened up the mission to include young people, and a number of them quickly jumped at the opportunity.

Haley Klarholm, Selena and Michael Wiebe and Karissa Gustafson are among the eight youth heading to Haiti for the first time.

“They have no idea what they’re in for,” joked Bowen.

The youth will spend most of their time interacting with and teaching some of the children in the area in which they are stationed. *** Since starting the Model Engineering Show 24 years ago, Kelly Tytlandsvik has grown the event from its modest beginnings with 12 exhibitors, made friends from all over Canada, the United States and the world and even been connected with relatives in Norway.

That’s all thanks to this hobby of his that he said is not very popular, adding that “model builders are few and far between.”

The 24th annual Model Engineering Show is slated to fill the Wylie-Mitchell Hall Oct. 15 and 16. Because there are several exhibitors from the United States, Tytlandsvik’s website makes it very clear that

those who wish to attend remember the event is the weekend after “Canadian” Thanksgiving.

Tytlandsvik started model building when he was a teenager. He first saw some engines running on a table at the Minot fair on a trip when his family was passing through. He was around 10 at the time. At 14 he began building his first model engine, which wasn’t finished until he was 20 years old.

That isn’t the only time he’s worked on a project over several years.

“It’s become a running joke in my house, and at the show, that the show’s been going for 24 years, and I’ve been working on this locomotive for 24 years.”

And again the public will have to wait to see the finished product because the locomotive will not be ready for this year’s show either. *** The ribbon has been cut on the new land port of entry at Noonan, with a small ceremony and facility tours.

About 20 people packed into the inspection garage for the ceremony Oct. 18 and to hear from Mary Delaquis, the area port director of Pembina U.S. Customs and Border

Protection (CBP), and Eugene Schied, assistant commissioner for the Office of Administration of U.S. CBP. About $420 million was appropriated through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, to update or build 31 of the 41 CBP-owned land ports of entry in the United States.

Schied noted that port buildings have been constructed regularly in difficult economic times, with large-scale projects to provide new land ports of entry in the 1930s and 1960s.

Schied said most of the individual projects were between $10 and $15 million, though he didn’t have a specific figure for the Noonan port. He added that it was difficult to put an exact dollar figure on one site, as some costs were combined into all the projects, like design. Those practices allowed them to “scrunch” the dollar, he said.

“We did the design centrally, and then replicated the design, so we have one design contract.

A lot of the environmental work was done centrally,” said Schied. “Each of the construction projects was done on a project-byproject basis.”

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2012

2011 – A Year In Review Pt.II Novemer 2011 It was 1942 when Joseph Gervais, a farm boy from Hitchcock, received an invitation from the Canadian government to attend a medical exam in Regina on Jan. 1, 1943.

He passed the test as a fit 19-year-old and was quickly sent to Vancouver Island to begin basic training in the army. He and the rest of the new recruits were given shots, uniforms and a rifle, and boarded a train to the West Coast.

The windows on the train would frost up, so they opened them in order to see the mountains. None of them had been far from home before, Gervais said, so travelling through the Rockies was quite a sight for the new troops.

For five months, Gervais underwent basic training with regular route marches of between 15 and 20 miles.

He even recalls an instance when they walked for 24 straight hours. They had the choice to stop and sleep, but they had to sleep outside, and it was raining.

“Getting ready for basic training, that was just toughening up all the time,” said Gervais. “We ended up walking a 24-hour route march.

We were on our way back from landing-craft training.

We had to walk back about 75 miles, so we walked the first day and at night when we stopped for supper, it started to rain. It was a choice to walk or sleep (in the rain), so we told them we better walk.

So we walked all night. That would be 24 hours.”

They weren’t carrying full packs but he said they had about 30 pounds of equipment on their backs.

He entered the war in July 1943 in the Pacific Theater. Training in B.C. included a two-week beach landing course.

He said taking the course meant one thing: they were

going to the North Pacific Aleutian Islands that spread west from Alaska. Japanese soldiers had occupied the island of Kiska. *** This week a truckload of gifts packaged in shoe boxes was taken away to be delivered to less fortunate children in other parts of the world.

The Estevan Comprehensive School donated 115 shoe boxes of goodies that most of the youth in Canada may consider to be ordinary.

For the children who will be receiving the school supplies and clothes, the gifts mean a great deal. They mean an education as well as a chance to play.

This year Margaret Duncan, teacher and co-ordinator of the social justice club, which organizes this campaign, said the boxes’destination is Haiti.

Students at ECS have been preparing shoe boxes of goods since the beginning of November, in anticipation of loading up the truck for its departure this week. The boxes are collected and sent out so the less fortunate will have something to open on Christmas morning.

Duncan andAshley Cote started the social justice club at the school two years ago, and 12 students are now involved. The round up of boxes is one of the club’s yearly projects.

The club asked firstperiod classes to collect items that would be suitable for a Christmas shipment to the children in need.

Brayden Gervais, a Grade 11 student, has been in the club for two years and was out encouraging everyone he knew to donate something to the cause.

“For Operation Christmas Child, the members of the social justice club have been promoting the activity in the school. We have been collecting items for our period one classes and bringing them in,” said Gervais.

*** The Christmas season is kicking up already and what better way to check things off your list than making a stop at one Estevan’s final farmers’ markets of the season.

The market will be prepped and open for four final outings beginning next Saturday in the Estevan Exhibition Hall. That’s the day after Black Friday, a holiday shopping bonanza in the United States.

Market organizer Linda Jones expects the first day will be a smaller affair, with about 20 vendors, but it will pick up quickly in the other three weeks with more than 30.

“As it goes along, it gets busier,” she said. “More people get in the mood.”

A lot of the vendors who has been with the market all summer long will show up with their Christmas line of goods. Jones noted that the people who bring in crafts and the bakers, in particular, bring in the holiday goods.

Jones has been attending the market for more than 30 years, and as far back as she can remember there have always been markets leading up to Christmas. Now she said there are some vendors who come from Carievale, Weyburn and Regina.

2011 – A Year In Review Pt. II December 2011 It’s not a contest, but for the 59th year an open invitation has gone out to all musical talents in the community to be part of the Estevan Rotary Club’s annual Carol Festival.

This Sunday’s festival will be a platform for 10 acts who will perform a number of Christmas songs as a fundraiser for local band programs and a way to get people into the singing season. Gloria Chicoine is the chair of the Carol Festival committee for the club and has been organizing this event almost as long as she’s been a member.

It’s her seventh year doing the Christmas event and her eighth with the club.

Chicoine said she always enjoys doing it, and each year they eventually have enough groups to fill out the program. There are some scheduling conflicts because it’s a very busy time of year, but they hold the event at the same time each year so it’s easier for people to plan around.

“It takes a bit to find enough people, but it’s always a go,” said Chicoine.

She said there are

many regular acts, and when they can’t make the event, they are always sure to mark it off for the following year.

“There are lots groups who have been invited, and they all want to do everything, but they can’t.”

That just keeps things fresh every year, and she noted they have only three or four returning acts from last year. That leaves lots of opportunity for new performers to put on a show. *** The Bienfait Lions’ dinner theatre production of Wild Mushrooms was such a fun time for theatregoers last weekend, some took in multiple viewings.

The performances were held Friday and Saturday evening, with a Sunday matinee at Weldon School in Bienfait, and the actors and crew said the shows went off without any glitches.

“It went off like a hot knife through butter,” said Dwight Thompson, a Lion member who was one of nine cast members in the production and who has been part of the dinner theatre since its inception eight years ago.

Thompson played the role of the conservative Italian father in the comedy featuring a caper that uses wild mushrooms to get the mafia off the backs of the little family from the Bronx.

Thompson said the cast was another great one this year, and the group is an easy reminder of why he loves to perform each year.

“It is awesome. They are a great team to work with. It’s like a family,” he added.

While some of the team has been part of productions for the previous eight years, others are first timers. Thompson noted that they always like to have newcomers join in an enthusiastic way, and this year they welcomed a few young locals into the cast. *** She will be assigned a number on race day, but it’s the number she raises beforehand that means the most for Rachelle Axten.

Santa Claus was in Estevan during Moonlight Madness to hear from some of City’s children on what they wanted for Christmas. Jade Aparicio, who will soon be turning two, wasn’t sharing many secrets when she sat on Santa’s lap. heading to Brazil to attend the 2012 Rio Marathon in Rio de Janeiro. Her preparations begin at home however, and she has been challenged by Team Diabetes Canada to raise $6,100 leading up to the big race in Rio. This is her fi rst involvement in raising money to combat diabetes and said she decided to become more active in raising money and awareness for the Diabetes Association because her grandfather has been dealing with the disease for a long time and it has begun to get worse.

“He’s been quite sick with it, so I just want to get awareness out there because I’ve seen what they go through,” she said.

“How they have to deal with it everyday, I don’t want my own father to end up like my grandpa and get

sick. This is just my own sort of way of showing them (that I care) and helping them, I guess.”

Her father has also been diagnosed with diabetes.

The 19-year-old said she told her family about her plans to raise money and race in Rio, and they have been very supportive, with lots of interest in following her down to Brazil to cheer her on. *** At the beginning of the school year, Mikayla Lischka, a Grade 2 student at Weldon School, was very determined to raise money to fund a well for people in another country.

This holiday season, the time arose for this project to take place. In Laura Froehlich’s Grade 1 and 2 classroom, a discussion was held about the true

spirit of giving. The students decided that instead of each receiving a $5 gift they would like to combine all of their gift money to support Mikayla’s passion to fund a well for another country.

After determining the price of one well from the Gifts of Hope website was $175 they realized that in order to have enough money, each of them would have to bring a toonie from home. Everyone thought this was a great idea and were excited to participate.

The following week, Mikayla came to school with a surprise for the class—a cheque for $175 from her family, so they could fund not one but two wells. This year these six and seven-year-olds had the opportunity to give to others and realize the true meaning of Christmas.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2012

We’ll have it saved in a flash For the first time in a long time, I did not go crazy on Boxing Day (Week) sales. There was no parking in front of Staples at 5:30 a.m., no freezing outside for an hour in hopes of getting an insanely cheap laptop like in previous years.

Part of that was due to the fact I’ve got most of what I need from the big Boxing Day discounters, and what’s left on my list doesn’t go on sale like that. But that didn’t stop me from picking up a few things.

While grabbing yet another external hard drive (my eighth, I think) and some tax software, I also picked up a few USB flash memory drives. They were on sale for half off, so I picked up two eight-gigabyte thumb drives for $8 each.

Wow, I thought to myself. My first flash memory card, a Delkin 512 megabyte (half a gigabyte) cost me $273 in 2003. I did all my photography on that one card for several years. In a mere 8.5 years, the cost of flash memory had dropped from $546 per gigabyte to a dollar.

While it is a general trend, not all memory has dropped in price. Hard drives have nearly doubled in recent months. Massive flooding in Thailand hit several strategically important high-tech

Flash memory is a form of solid-state memory. Essentially, the data is stored on non-moving silicon chips, not platters of disks whirring at 7200 rpm while the magnetic ones and zeros are written to and read from. As seen from the diving example, it’s a pretty stable form of storage.

Apple’s MacBook Air pioneered using flash memory as a replacement for a hard drive, using what’s called an SSD, or solid state drive.

These are still incredibly pricey, and not very large by hard drive standards (about the size of what would have been common about eight years ago), but they have potential.

And they are lightning quick.

I’d love to add one to my photo-editing computer just to speed up the editing process.

As the price continues to plummet, flash memory will soon replace hard drives all over the place. iPods were among the first devices to ditch a spinning disk for a chip, and it is far from the last. Five years from now, my kids will be asking me, “Dad, what’s a hard drive?”

“It’s that loud, noisy thing that my computer used to have,” I’ll tell them.

Brian Zinchuk

From the Top of the Pile businesses, including many hard drive manufacturers that were concentrated in the same industrial parks. A two-terabyte Western Digital external drive is now regularly priced at $229. Not too long ago, they were about half that, at least on sale.

Flash memory’s tremendous drop in price also goes a long way in padding Apple’s pockets. Apple differentiates its models by memory capacity. An iPhone 4S, purchased directly from Apple, is $649 for a 16 GB version, while a 32 GB is $749 and a 64 GB is $849. As we’ve seen with my Boxing Week purchase, if you can get flash memory, perhaps not of the same spec, but in similar quantity, for a buck a gigabyte, $200 for a 48-gigabyte difference is a lot of money these days.

Flash memory is incredibly durable. There was a report in late 2011 that a diver near Vancouver found a Canon 1000D DSLR underwater. He pulled out the memory card, plugged it into a computer, and the images were still there.

Using Google+, he was able to track down the owner within a day.

She called for an ambulance. He was in the hospital only four hours before he died. The doctor said he would have lived if he had gotten treatment sooner. My mother has felt guilty about this ever since.

She lives with us now.

I don’t want to miss a stroke if she has one. How do you recognize one, and what should be done right away in an emergency? -- T.B. ANSWER: Nearly 900,000 strokes occur yearly in the United States, and of those victims, 200,000 die. Many of the survivors are left with great disabilities. Strokes come in

two types: One is an ischemic (is-KEY-mick) stroke, and the other is a hemorrhagic stroke.

“Ischemic” means “deprived of blood.” It’s the more common kind of stroke, accounting for 80 percent of all strokes.

The flow of blood to part of the brain is blocked by a clot in an artery. It’s the brain’s equivalent of a heart attack. The other 20 percent comes from bleeding in the brain, a hemorrhagic stroke.

Signs of either kind of stroke include slurred speech, sudden confusion, numbness of the face, arm or leg, trouble seeing, dizziness and severe headache. Many advocate testing the person to decide if a stroke has occurred. Asking the affected person to stick out his or her tongue and seeing if it deviates to the side is one of those tests. Don’t waste time doing tests. Immediately call 911.

I’m limiting what I say about treatment to strokes resulting from the obstruction of blood flow. Brain cells begin to die within minutes. However, there’s a three-hour window

Ferrari has high hopes for Canadian teen Just call Lance Stroll the Test Tube Driver.

Canada’s most famous 13-year-old athlete might be better known in Italy than in Toronto’s Little Italy; his name and face more recognized in Rome than in Regina.

But then again, Stroll doesn’t play hockey or golf or baseball or football or one of the traditional Canadian sports. Rather, the son of a Montreal car dealer is being groomed as the next superstar Formula One driver by Ferrari, one of the world’s top racing companies.

Still three years away from being able to legally drive on Canadian highways, Stroll - though currently being allowed to train at relatively safe speeds in the 130-150 km/h range - will soon be racing at breathtaking speeds as high as 300 km/h (185 miles per hour) against the world’s best drivers.

The Toronto Globe and Mail featured Stroll in a recent sports-front feature, telling the tale of Ferrari discovering him after he’d had a series of successes on the North American go-kart circuit when he was nine years old. At that age, the Globe story said, he was winning as many as 70 per cent of his races (a ridiculously high ratio) against racers three and four years older. As fate would have it, Ferrari was planning a program to mould a future champion driver from a young age. Ferrari’s plan and Stroll’s success fit together about as perfectly as a driver squeezing into a Formula One vehicle cockpit.

Stroll’s family is wealthy, which allowed him to participate in a rather expensive sport as a pre-teen, but they’re also not dumb.

They realize the dangers inherent in racing at speeds approaching 300 km/h, and are aware that 45 drivers have died in the 61-year history of the sport.

“You watch him and

Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

you watch him and you begin to find a comfort level over time,” the Globe story quoted his father, Lawrence, as saying. “(The worry) is never gone, but you just learn to live with that.”

At the Ferrari driving academy in Italy, Stroll works daily with gymnastics experts who deal with co-ordination and musclebuilding, nutritionists, racing strategists and then spends time in the “mind room,” where, the Globe story says, he is taught “to stay calm under pressure.”

Will it all pay off? The results of Ferrari’s efforts won’t be known for five or six years, but if Lance Stroll becomes an F1 champion driver, mark it down to human laboratory success.

NATIONAL OTTAWA - A young Canadian man has been arrested in the Congo, caught up in the political powder keg that is the Central African country, his family says.

Ottawa resident Fabien Shambuyi Kalala is one of dozens of people picked up off the streets of Kinshasa in the wake of the country’s presidential elections, now under scrutiny by global observers.

And Canada needs to step up its own condemnation of the November vote before arrests devolve into far more violent confrontations in a country that has already lost millions to war and disease, analysts say. *** TORONTO - A Canadian-led study finds that more than two-thirds of paramedics have experienced verbal, physical or sexual abuse on the job.

Emergency Medical Service workers in Ontario and Nova Scotia were invited to take part in the study while attending a continuing education seminar this year, and 90 per cent responded.

More than 1,300 paramedics were asked if they had directly been the victims of various forms of violence within the previous 12 months. Verbal abuse was the most commonly reported among 67.4 per cent EMS workers surveyed, while intimidation was reported by 41.5 per cent of respondents.

Some 26.1 per cent polled reported being physically abused, 13.6 per cent reported sexual harassment, and 2.7 per cent reported sexual assault. Of the 1,381 paramedics polled, 70 per cent were male with a median age of 34 and 10 years experience in EMS. INTERNATIONAL

RICHMOND, Va. The owner of the largest trove of artifacts salvaged from the Titanic is putting the vast collection up for auction as a single lot in 2012, the 100th anniversary of the world’s most famous shipwreck.

More than 5,500 items including fine china, ship fittings and portions of hull that were recovered from the ocean liner have an estimated value of $189 million, according to Premier Exhibitions Inc., parent of RMS Titanic Inc. — the Titanic’s court-approved salvor. That value was based on a 2007 appraisal and does not include intellectual property gathered from a 2010 scientific expedition that mapped the wreck site.

The auction is scheduled for April 1 by Guernsey’s, a New York City auction house, according to filings by Premier Exhibitions Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of the auction won’t be announced until April 15, the date a century ago the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage after striking an iceberg. *** BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - An Oregon football player helped a choking diner during the traditional Beef Bowl, which brings the teams playing in the Rose Bowl to Lawry’s in Beverly Hills for prime rib.

City News Service says Paul Diamond began choking a bit while eating Wednesday. Oregon guard Mark Asper performed the Heimlich manoeuvre on Diamond, helping him cough the meat up. Diamond says he was breathing throughout and not in too much distress, describing it as “not a big deal.”

Diamond’s son Tom is an Oregon senior.

February 9, 1956 - December 27, 2011 After a long and brave battle with cancer George Spyromilios found peace on December 27, at 55 years of age, in his hometown of Athens, Greece.

He is survived by his children Farrah (Jason) Pine, Spero (Tenielle) Spyromilios, and Dina Spyromilios; his granddaughters Amarra and Arayana Pine; his brother Nick (Cindy) Spyromilios; parents Spero and Evmorfia Spyromilios; niece and nephew Alexandra and Tino Spyromilios; as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews in Greece.

George moved to Canada from Greece in 1975 where he began working in the restaurant industry and through his hard work and dedication owned and operated many restaurants in Regina and Moose Jaw. In 1990 he came to Estevan and opened Houston Pizza where he formed many close and memorable relationships with the patrons and staff.

In 2001 he was diagnosed with cancer and moved back to Athens where he bravely battled various forms of this horrible disease.

He will always be remembered by friends and co-workers as the charming, witty, hardworking, unforgettable man that he was.

His family will always remember him as the amazing Father, Grandpa, Son, Brother, Uncle, and Nephew that he was, and always will be in our hearts and memories.

No words I write can ever say How much I miss you every day.

As time goes by the loneliness grows How I miss you, nobody knows!

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, But all I have are memories and photos in a frame.

No ones knows my sorrow, Rarely have they seen me weep, But the love I have for you is in my heart to keep.

I’ve never stopped loving you, I know I never will.

Deep inside my heart You are with me still.

Heartaches in this world are many but mine is worse than any.

My heart still aches as I whisper low “I love you and I miss you so”.

The things we feel so deeply are often the hardest to say, But I just can’t keep quiet anymore, so I’ll tell you anyway.

There’s a place in my heart that no one else can fill ...

I love you so much Dad, always have, always will.

Love Always, Farrah, Spero, and Dina

Heil retires as Canada’s top female athlete PROVINCIAL OKOTOKS, Alta. Former skip W. Garnet Campbell, who guided a family team that won Saskatchewan’s first national men’s curling title in 1955, has died. He was 84.

Dubbed the “Little General” of the Campbell curling clan of Avonlea, Sask., he died peacefully last Friday, nephew Douglas Campbell said.

Garnet Campbell represented Saskatchewan at 10 national championships and was inducted into the

Canadian Curling Hall of Fame in 1974.

His career highlight was the Brier victory in Regina, the first for a province that has always taken curling very seriously.

Joined by brothers Don at third, Glenn at second and Lloyd at lead, the family rink won 10 straight games to take the title.

NATIONAL MONTREAL - There are athletes whose careers fade away and then there are those like Jennifer Heil

who leave at the top.

Canada’s most successful female freestyle skier ended her career earlier this year with an unexpected sweep of the moguls and dual moguls gold medals at the world championships.

That performance earned Heil the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award as The Canadian Press female athlete of 2011. The 2006 Olympic gold medallist garnered 115 points to win the award in balloting among sports editors and

broadcasters across the country. *** LONDON - John Part of Oshawa, Ont., is off to the quarter-fi nals at the world darts championship.

Part, affectionately dubbed Darth Maple in darts circles, advanced with a 4-2 win over England’s Kevin Painter. Part will next face Englishman James Wade, who swept compatriot Steve Farmer 4-0 in a match that lasted just 45 minutes.

Part is a three-time

CAREERS CONTINUED

world champion, last winning in 2008. The total purse for the tournament is one million pounds (C$1.52 million) with the winner earning 200,000 pounds (C$314,459).

Wade will certainly pose a formidable challenge for Part. Not only is Wade ranked third in the world but he’s registered consecutive 4-0 victories. *** Corryn Brown, a 16-year-old curler from Kamloops, B.C., has been chosen Canada’s flag-bearer at the first-ever Winter

Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria.

A source confirmed the announcement will be made Wednesday in Kamloops.

Canada is sending 51 athletes to the Youth Winter Games, slated for Jan. 13-22.

The Games are expected to draw some 1,100 athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 from more than 60 countries. They will compete in the same sports as in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
