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. As Nadene Hagen 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.” She was at the Estevan Public Library Sept. 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 ev-

erything 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. “Could it really be due to feng shui and the direction he was sleeping in?” Feng shui has been practised in China, where it originated for thousands of years. The ideas have been brought to the West and Hagen noted that while it is taking off in places like Vancouver and Calgary, it is still being introduced to many parts of Saskatchewan. “Saskatchewan is on the tail end of an up-andcoming trend,” she said. “I believe it is just getting started here and we will be hearing much more on the
subject in the near future.” Part of spreading the word is to get into local centres of learning. The presentation at the library
was her first, but she hopes to continue speaking. Kate-Lee Donohoe, the Estevan library’s branch manager, said it’s important for the library to hold more than events centred around literacy. The library is a place to learn all sorts of things and she noted that everybody has different hobbies and interests. “If you want to learn something new, you go on the Internet or watch TV,” she said. “Or you can come to the library and talk to somebody face to face.” Hagen focused on the classical and western feng shui during her seminar at the library. Basic concepts of ch’i and sha energy, ying and yang, the bagua and the nine guas, including career, spirituality and wealth among others, were
all explored. Hagen said she is very in tune with her surroundings and feels energetic shifts from one environment to the next. “Have you ever walked into a space and had a warm comfortable feeling, like you never want to leave? This space is likely in balance and has positive chi or energy. On the other hand, have you ever felt a sense of urgency to leave the moment you step foot in the door? What you are feeling is the negative chi associated with that environment, and this space is likely out of balance and has poor feng shui.” Having an open mind and open heart is necessary in making positive life changes through feng shui, said Hagen, and it’s important to know what you’re doing before implementing any of these remedies, as it is easy to over or under feng shui an area. This could lead to more challenges and could “counteract” itself. She said there is a lot of information out there, but not all of it is accurate, adding that a credible and trustworthy source is essential to making sure things are done right.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Fly anywhere from Estevan and back Time is everything for the world of chartered planes, and when time is an issue, there is one way to cover a lot of prairie ground in a short time. Good Spirit Air Service is a charter airline that operates out of Yorkton, but provides flights to and from the Estevan Airport when requested. They’ve been in business for seven years and own three Beachcraft King Air B200 planes that seat eight passengers. Phil De Vos and Carol Yaholnitsky had one of their planes on display at the Estevan Airport’s open house on Sept. 24, trying to get the word out that they provide a service available to anyone in the Estevan area. De Vos said there are a lot of people, particularly in the energy industry, whose time is very important. Bringing in labour from out of province is something they do as well. “If a company called us to say we want you to do a regular run, or just one trip, or many, many trips to Calgary to pick up our people and bring them back and forth, that’s why we’re here,� he said. Yaholnitsky stressed that they are a charter service, so it’s very specific. They can do a schedule where they take people from Estevan to Edmonton and back every two weeks. “What we are primarily after are the big companies, the executives, where time is money,� said De Vos. “For some people it’s very hard to understand the difference between driving four hours in a car and doing that same trip in 30 minutes in a plane and paying as much money. For the busy executives of the world, and our politicians as we’ve recently seen, time is important.� While on the planes, passengers can work with laptops and cellphones, or if they’ve already had a busy day, De Vos said they can sleep in the comfortable cabin. “Sometimes you have to have that little business meeting prior to getting to a business meeting,� added Yaholnitsky. “You have your few minutes (in the plane) where you can discuss what you need to.� The service isn’t just for businesses. De Vos noted that they flew a group of people in for the Elton John concert. “It was kind of nice because it was a weekday concert. So you can go, you enjoy, you’re not driving, and you’re not tired and then you can get up and go to work the next day. The level of productivity is not lost to your company.� He said that their service is not just for the “super wealthy,� but is great for

Good Spirit Air Service has three Beachcraft King Air B200 planes and each seat eight passengers. The airline out of Yorkton notes a flight from Yorkton to Winnipeg is just under an hour. groups. “Let’s say you were gonna go in, and you could possibly get tickets to a (Winnipeg) Jets game, or if you find eight (with season tickets), and they’re all going to the same game, we can put them on here, fly them into Winnipeg, go to the game, and when the game’s over we put them back on, bring them back here, and they can go to work the next day if we’re talking about a midweek game.� Yaholnitsky said if an anniversary is coming up, the couple can get some of their friends together and have dinner and a concert in Saskatoon. “It may seem a little extravagant, but I think our world is getting to be extravagant,� she said. “We’re wanting more and more and more.� They find there are also a lot of people who have medical appointments to see specialists in Saskatoon, Edmonton or Winnipeg. They have taken advantage of the air service as well. “By the time government pays for them to drive from Point A to Point B to see the specialist, it could be a day and a half. When you put it all together, we can take them to their appointment, and they can come back the same day and see their families, depending on the doctor, of course,� said De Vos. When time is money, it’s all about saving time. He said it can be difficult to get people to understand that, but time is very important and has a cost as well. Good Spirit has four
captains and two first officers to man the cockpits, and Yaholnitsky said they are probably going to be hiring more because the company is growing right now. The airline also has a hangar in Flin Flon, Man. They consistently fly from there up to the uranium mines. They also have all the paperwork in order to fly to the United States, and the company boasts a flight duration from Yorkton to Minneapolis
of just over two hours. They will fly to any airport that is large enough to allow for their planes to land and take off, but those are their only restrictions. The aircraft have pressurized cabins, with cruising speeds of 300 miles per hour and a service ceiling of 35,000 feet. Good Spirit’s website is www.goodspiritair.com, and flight requests can be made there.

The long season that is the NHL year has begun, and while we are nowhere within sight of the spectacular June climax, there are things to keep fans excited. There isn’t much excitement in training camp. It’s really just practice and to quote Allen Iverson, “We’re talking about practice. We are not talking about the game, when it really matters. We are talking about practice.” Practice doesn’t matter to fans, and that’s all training camp is. Then there are preseason games, and they are also pretty meaningless for everyone who isn’t using those games to earn a job and living for the next eight months. That means me and everybody who is watching hockey games instead of playing them right now. All fans really have to care about right now is fantasy hockey. Fantasy drafts have been happening for the last couple of weeks and will continue until the start of the season on Oct. 6. Fantasy leagues are made up of a wide range of people, but every league has the same mix of characters. First there is the guy who doesn’t show up to the draft, which is typically done online, though I’ve done them in person as well. Mr. No Show’s team is set to automatically pick the highest ranked player
Jordan Baker Thoughts From My Fingers available. He always remembers the fantasy league the very next day when he starts offering trades because of his dissatisfaction with his team. Two days before the draft the Mr. No Show in my league asked for the time of our draft to be changed to 75 minutes later, which we did to accommodate him. His truancy was particularly noted after that. Then there is Sleeper Pick. This guy goes deep into the ranked players early. When there are players still available who consistently post 50 or 60 point seasons, he’s drafting some young stud who was never on anybody else’s radar and who he could have taken as a last pick. That player will always be available on waivers come November, once Sleeper Pick gives up all hope. Next up is the Surgeon. The Surgeon has done his research. This guy has followed training camp and the preseason like a dog follows his tail. He has the whole draft mapped out and picks his squad with precision and logic. He’s been following blogs
for weeks and anything new that comes up on the Rotowire gets immediately sent to his phone. The Surgeon tends to overthink all of his decisions. The time may expire for his draft selections a couple of times before he can make a pick. There is always someone who wants everybody in the draft. Mr. Popular is disappointed after every single pick that’s made in the first five rounds. Whenever a player is picked, he’ll say, “Ooh, I wanted that guy.” Well, of course you wanted that guy. This is a fantasy draft, and the teams are made up of the best and brightest superstars in the league. Somebody else will be available, but it doesn’t matter to Mr. Popular because he wants everybody. Lastly, there is the Dark Horse. The Dark Horse is usually known by only one other guy in the league, and was invited because he’s unassuming and willing to put up $20 for the league fee. He doesn’t say much or participate in much trading or free agency pickup once the season gets started. During the draft, he has a knack for selecting amazing players in unlikely places. When he makes late picks, everybody else in the league says, “How was that guy still available?” I’ve been guilty of a couple of these and even played the Dark Horse, but which fantasy owner are you?
Brave new world of food science It would be more than a decade ago now that I listened to speaker Dr. Lowell Catlett, a futurist and economist from New Mexico State University. It was one of those presentations that left a rather lasting mark with a then much younger journalist. Catlett tagged his presentation, “The Future is So Bright You’re Going to Need Shades.” That was heady stuff coming from anyone in an era in farming not many years removed from tractor caravans slowing highway traffic in support of calls for more money to save farms, and neighbours rallying at farm-gate protests to prevent foreclosure auctions. Catlett saw a brighter future for farming based in large part on biotechnology. He foresaw technology-adding attributes that would create exciting, higher value markets for many farm crops. Certainly we have seen some of that occur. Biotech canola has certainly changed that sector in terms of production as well as opening some markets, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Catlett, the futurist, talked about the potential to completely push the boundaries of biotechnology. While many might
Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist cringe at the thought, he spoke of the possibility of goats altered on the genetic level in order to have what would essentially be cheetah skin. The endangered big cats were hunted to near extinction for their fur skins, and farmers could cash in on that demand without further threatening the cats. That may scare some, and excite some, but at that time it was a rather amazing vision of the possibilities, and even today while remaining more science fiction than fact, the growth of biotech science suggests it could still be reality, probably sooner than we expect. Perhaps less Frankenstein-esque than cheetah-goats is the idea farm crops can be utilized in ways not related to feeding people or livestock. Here in Saskatchewan, farmers are aware of some of those efforts. A few
years ago agriculture publications covered efforts to use oats in the make-up sector. More recently Ed Krol, a University of Saskatchewan associate professor at the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, has been looking at the potential of using flavonoids found in apples, onions and various other plants in sunscreen. The idea of components within farm crops having higher value than the whole grain for food is hardly a new thought, but as populations continue to balloon it becomes a scarier concept as food pressures are only going to grow until the world somehow comes to grips with how to put the brakes on population expansion. No one wants to begrudge farmers markets that pay more, but whether it’s Catlett’s goats, or apples for sunscreen, it could take food out of the reach of more people. The poorest of the world already struggle to afford food and that situation could easily worsen if farm produce heads to non-traditional, non-food markets. Catlett’s vision, along with the research that is taking place today, is going to eventually foster a very interesting debate on the value of food for all.

Hairspray donations $18K
Estevan Triple Threat Theatre and the members of the cast of summer’s Hairspray production presented cheques of $9,000 to both the Salvation Army and the Estevan United Way on Sept. 22. The money was raised from the four performances at the Estevan Comprehensive School in August, which attracted an audience total of 1,581.
More rooms on the way for Estevan area With rooms in short supply, and more jobs needing new hands, a new work-camp development is coming in the RM of Estevan. Summit Living Solutions, a company out of Saskatoon, has been cleared by the RM to develop the camp after the proposal was originally rejected by council because they wanted issues of road access, waste disposal and security. The company came back shortly with a proposal that council
approved. Peter Molander, president of Summit Living Solutions, said the issues were addressed without any trouble. “We worked with the RM on their concerns,” he said. “We were able to identify and address those. As always, you need to be able to do your due diligence and identify if can we do that. It worked out very well.” The work camp is going to have access to Shand Road, which is what coun-
cil wanted for the camp, and that access solved the problem of waste disposal, said Greg Hoffort, RM administrator. Security will be on site and done privately by Summit. The units will house 250 individuals in private living spaces and Molander said they are pretty “upscale.” The units are about 320 square feet with two living spaces. Each private area is 160 square feet and includes a bedroom, living room, kitchenette and
bathroom. He said they work with the energy companies, whose employees are the target for these work camps, to make sure the lifestyle is what they’re after. “We try to build so that it allows for retention and recruitment (for those companies).” Summit Living Solutions, Molander noted, is not leasing the land but has purchased it, showing good faith that they are here long term.
He said they’d like to do site prep prior to winter, but said he would have liked that to have started “yesterday,” so it’s a possibility things won’t really get started until next spring. Molander noted Estevan’s shortage of accommodation, and said there is a lot of opportunity to provide not only temporary housing but multiple-family housing as well. He said he’s keen to work with the City of Estevan to see what the community’s needs are.
“It’s no use going at something that the community doesn’t want,” he added. “We have to work with the energy and mining clients, and then we can work with the community.” Molander said his company does offer permanent accommodation in the form of condominiums and noted that they recently finished 14 condos in Leroy. He said he’s excited about speaking with city council and prospect of developing more condos in Estevan.
Since when are all of my friends cats? Tonaya Marr I’ve noticed the weirdest trend on Facebook lately. More and more of my Facebook friends have been turning into animals. No, I’m serious. Every time I sign into my account, I see that 30 or more of my friends have changed their profile pictures. There’s nothing unusual about this, but in the past several weeks I’ve noticed that an increasing number of my friends have been changing their profile pictures to photos of animals or babies. So naturally I’ve de-
duced that the strangest phenomenon is taking place, and the rate of human-to-animal transformations has taken off at an unprecedented pace, and that some of my friends have been experimenting with anti-aging technology, with various degrees of success. I’m a little bit frightened, of course. I really like being a human, and I am starting to fear the very real possibility that I may somehow shift into a cat or some other pet. I really wish someone could explain to me exactly why these changes
Maybe It’s Just Me are happening. Are they spontaneous? Is it a choice? Do people get to pick the animal they want to be, or is it just chance? And what exactly is the cause? I don’t think it’s geographically related, considering this
program isn’t limited to just once place – I’m noticing this among friends from across the continent. Plus the baby thing. I’m pretty content being 19 (forever). But maybe some of my friends are having a
tough time accepting their ages, and are experimenting with clearly questionable anti-aging methods. Clearly the effects are more Benjamin Button then they likely wanted. In any case, it’s getting weird. It’s a real challenge figuring out who’s who based on baby profile pictures. I mean, some of the babies don’t even look like the people they are supposed to be. I just wish that everyone would stop changing into animals and babies. Facebook is so much more confusing when profile

pictures keep changing into unrecognizable beings. It would be so nice if everyone just stayed human/adult and posted pictures of their human selves. But I guess I shouldn’t complain too much— imagine if everyone was turning into scenery? Tonaya Marr is currently accepting recommendations of anti-aging skin products.

Pass the Potatoes Please Is fall really the best season? Susan Sohn He She
Many or most of you know that my passion is family. I grew up in a great family and we lived in a wonderful home. Our home was one that was created and specifically designed to grow a strong family. With that goal in mind, my parents worked tirelessly to make sure our needs (physical, emotional and spiritual) were met. In meeting our needs, they also made sure that fun was a huge component to our healthy living. One of my favourite family memories surrounds mealtimes. You see we ate almost every meal together. Meals were a priority in our home and everything, including four kids’ busy schedules, Dad’s work plus running a farm, was balanced around that almost sacred time called dinner/ supper. Due to the teaching, training and my experience as a child, this is something I have brought into my family. I recognize how important it was for my family to gather around the table and in hindsight can see the benefits from it. Now, with my young family we do just that, we come together, calm down and simply enjoy one another amidst all the craziness life can throw at us. As a child, at mealtimes, we would talk about our days, share the ups, the downs and everything in between. It was also a time where discipline was given. Childhood/Teenage foibles were shared openly and there were no “side deals� going on when it came to correction. The younger children

Fall is a busy season. It’s maybe the busiest three months in the calendar year. Things are definitely happening. Sports are huge in the fall. Hockey is back. The CFL playoff races heat up, and the NFL season has kicked off. Baseball is entering playoffs, the Tour Championship just ended golf’s summer schedule and if you like basketball, well they’re on lockout. But who likes basketball anyway? If you’re a television buff, ‘tis the season when every network show begins again and you can check out whatever this thing I hear people call Snooki is up to. Or if you’re a nerd like me, find out exactly what happened to Peter in the last episode of Fringe. It seems like he was erased from existence and memory. The summer blockbuster movie is fun and often mindless, which is great when it’s hot out, but once fall rolls along, those films that I didn’t watch at TIFF begin hitting screens. I would take the fall movie schedule over the summer one anytime. Everybody knows Christmas is not just a couple of days near the end of December. That stuff starts in the fall. Most of Christmas is over by the time Dec. 21 and the first day of winter, show up. All that’s really left is to eat the turkey. That all sounds pretty good, except the bit about basketball and Snooki. Is it really enough to make fall better than my go-to best season: spring? As far as the weather goes, spring is in all ways better than fall. It’s kind of a question of a glass half-empty or half-full. In the fall, tomorrow is always darker and colder than the day that came before. The spring has that great realization one day that there’s still daylight past 7 p.m. In the spring everything is blooming, while in the fall things are dying. Spring is definitely the season of the optimist. Spring has some sporting events of its own. The NHL playoffs and Memorial Cup tournament are obviously noteworthy. The Masters and Players Championship put the world’s best golfers on two of the most beautiful golf courses on the planet. The Premier League could be interesting, but the last seven years have only seen Manchester United and Chelsea win the league. With that kind of predictability, it’s only interesting if you’re English. Those television shows that began in the fall are now either coming to exciting conclusions, or you got bored with them in November and stopped watching. Fall does seem like a good season, but I just can’t give up on spring yet.

Welcome to Real Life had the opportunity to learn from the older one’s mistakes. Being number three child in the family does have its benefits! Additionally we learned a lot about manners, what is acceptable and what is not; we also learned the art of communication through engagement and sometimes just politely listening. The table was our family classroom without us knowing it. As a mother, I have come to appreciate the effort my mother went to in order to get a meal on the table every night. We all know what a challenge it can be. As an example, tonight is one of my busiest nights (in terms of kids’ activities). It is busy because today requires taxiing to school starting at 6:30 a.m. for volleyball practice, then another round of kids being dropped off at 8 a.m., followed by two volleyball games after school plus piano and art lessons and then, of course, the homework. Needless to say, today is my busy day - thankfully the rest of the week is much calmer. With this in mind, my focus is on dinner. How will I accommodate these schedules and make sure our family comes together around the dining table? I will make this happen

simply because it is a priority in my life and I know the lasting benefits and the unspeakable joy that dinner with my family brings. I will make it happen because this busy day in my week hasn’t caught me by surprise, it’s like this every week and it’s a matter of me being organized and prioritizing. It will happen because on days like this, I choose not to go “gourmet� and push boundaries. No, today will be a soul-food day. It will be a meal that I can pull together with ease and one that will be nutritious and full of goodness. It will most likely be a family favourite and one that I know my children will gobble down as soon as the dinner hits the table. So friends, I encourage you to gather your family around the table. If you are doing this already, then well done and please keep it up. If you have slipped and find that you are eating in front of the computer or the television or perhaps everyone is spread around the house, why not try and bring everyone together? I promise you will enjoy the conversation, you will reconnect and this will be a time in the day you look forward to rather than dread. Next week I’ll share some of our favourite family room fall recipes. They are yummy, super easy and as always have been tried and tested on our families and have been approved from ages two to 82. Enjoy your week and pass the potatoes, please!

I have always loved fall. I think it’s because I was born in the fall, and the season has always meant a birthday party with my mom’s homemade ice cream cake. Plus, it’s hard to hate a season when my skin finally stops burning every time I step outdoors. Seriously though, fall is the best. It isn’t too hot, like summer definitely can be. There seems to be fewer mosquitoes. My favourite sports usually start up. And – don’t tell my classmates ‘cause I’ll get a bad rep – school starts, and I generally enjoy school. Summer and winter are too extreme for me. So hot. So cold. Windburn. Sunburn. Storms that make it nearly impossible to travel on our beautiful Saskatchewan highways. It’s great for a while, but when the end of August comes around, or the end of March, I’m beyond ready for a change. Spring is nice, too, I guess. It has all the mildness of fall, which is a fun change. But it’s chilly and often wet. I usually like spring for a couple of weeks, but after I’ve soaked all of my shoes in puddles at least once, I’m ready for the next season to roll on in. Fall doesn’t lose its appeal, and I think that’s what makes it the best. I can wake up every autumn morning (or afternoon) and be refreshed walking to school. Plus, school is still fun and new in the fall, and hasn’t reached the “burn-out� stage of December. Unfortunately fall is annoyingly short, and the sunny, crisp days with bright leaves and smells quickly turn into frozen winds and melted mascara of winter. Consider Halloween. Halloween is supposed to be the perfect time to dress up and trick-or-treat (as a child), and when lovely fall weather stretches all the way to the end of October, the planets align and Halloween nirvana is achieved. Of course, most of my Halloweens of my youth involve squeezing my ski pants on under my Princess Jasmine costume and tromping from house to house in snowboots. This type of Halloween is not a fun, fall-time adventure: it’s part of the horror of winter, and serves as another example why winter sucks. And fall rocks. Yay for autumn.

Public projects still necessary in booming economy Battlefords. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty smart cookie. One point of Baterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments had me intrigued. In response to a question on housing for workers in the oilpatch, Bater said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening simultaneously with that is you have a lot of big government projects, as well. You have, essentially, a government spending money and competing with the private sector for labour, for materials and use of infrastructure. It would have been better to hold off on the big projects government is working on until things cooled off in

Brian Zinchuk From the Top of the Pile the private sector and do them at a later time when labour and materials are not only more available but cost less.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting notion. This is precisely what happened in Fort McMurray, but in the private sector. In 2007-2008, the frenetic pace of construction inflated project costs incredibly. The reset of 2009 brought those costs down substantially, and the oil companies learned to pace out their multi-billion dollar projects. Norway has followed
this concept, to an extent. Its sovereign wealth fund, which has quickly grown to one of the largest in the world, forbids investing oil riches in Norway. Flooding Norway with plenty of cash during good times would have an inflationary effect, reducing the value of all the money overall, and overheating the economy. This is what Bater sees from governments doing lots of infrastructure work during good times. Saskatchewan, unlike many, if not most jurisdic-
tions in North America, has been faced with a combined labour shortage and housing shortage. The two go hand-in-hand. Bater is saying that when the private sector is going full-tilt in areas such as the oilpatch, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go building hospitals. There is some logic to his assertion. Balance things out, so the peaks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so high, and the valleys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so low. However, it is precisely at these busy times when things like new power plants or other infrastructure projects are in highest demand. It is also during good economic times that the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffers tend to be flush, and thus they have the money to spend on infrastructure projects. For Baterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea to

work, governments would need a highly effective crystal ball to get the timing just right; when the economy falls into a slump, build a power plant. But these projects are often years in the planning stages, so it would be rather tough to sync large government infrastructure projects with down cycles. When it comes to power plants, demand growth is greatest when the economy is hot, not when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you need them the most, to cope with growing demand. Can the government avoid inflating the economy with big infrastructure during good times? Doubtful. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting idea. Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Showcase set up in brand new location It’s been 18 years now, and Estevan’s Showcase Business Expo appears to be aging well. Spectra Place played the role of convention centre for the expo, and Michel Cyrenne, executive director for the Estevan and District Board of Tourism, Trade and Commerce, said the space is already booked for next year’s Showcase. As the vendors were finishing set-up on Friday evening, he said the new facility has been very accommodating for the businesses. “At the Lignite Miners Centre (LMC) we really only had one access point, and it was on ground level, which was nice, but here we’ve got multiple access points,” he said. “People can come in from the front. People can come in from the north side, and we’ve got the big bay doors at the east end so it really went quite smoothly. I think it went a lot more smoothly than what we anticipated.” A lot of the exhibiters showed up on Thursday evening, and that helped to give people lots of time to get organized. He noted there were concerns from some of the exhibitors with bigger equipment about getting down the ramp. “They were concerned about getting down that big ramp at the east end, but they manoeuvred through it. That was no problem. The facility itself though; they
are impressed. There’s the lounge upstairs that they can hang out in. They’ve liked it. They like the layout.” Cyrenne said they’ve booked the LMC for next year as well. He said they would like to get more vehicles, like car dealers, RVs, dirt bikes and boats, which they would house in the LMC. “If we can get enough interest that we could hold it in both facilities we definitely would, but if we’re going with one facility (Spectra Place) is the one.” Organizers estimate that nearly 3,000 people visited the expo over the three-day event. There were 88 booths sold for the show, with two businesses that hadn’t shown up by Friday evening. Had they booked more exhibitors, the overflow would have been set up on the ground-level concourse and around the walking track. They did have exhibitors outside as well. For Lester Mack, this was his first time with a booth in Estevan, a city he used to call home. “I’m in Kindersley, but I’m originally from Estevan, so I wanted to come down and do the trade show. This is my hometown,” he said. The senior adviser for Serenigy was featuring their coffees and teas containing 100 per cent certified organic ganoderma. Mack said they go to
shows all over the province and that the shows are vital to their business. “It’s a good way to get out there and expose yourself to other people and other vendors.” Ken Sapiak, of V.K. Imports in Winnipeg, said, “The amount of people you meet in one weekend to present your product to them is the best advertising available.” His company sells natural herbal and aromatherapy products and muscle and joint sprays, and while this was his first time personally set up in Estevan in 10 years, their rep out of Regina has been coming to Showcase for the last nine. “This show does an excellent job of bringing the people in. It’s a beautiful venue. A brand new facility.” He and his wife Valerie go to shows and he said it’s the best exposure a business can get. Mack and his family do about three shows each month, attending events as far away as Alberta. Coming to Estevan is nice a change of pace because he, his wife and his daughter can stay with relatives for a break from hotels and camping. Patricia Fichter and Marian Huber were manning the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation booth on Saturday. Fichter said she was very happy with the move into Spectra Place. “I thought it was re-
ally great. Normally in the other facility, we were not in with the major part of the vendors,” she said. “It’s great now that we’re amongst everybody else. I think we get more traffic flow this way.” Huber said that for the foundation, Showcase is all about access to people. Huber is a spiritual care practitioner and said it’s important for them to do fundraising for the foundation. Huber said part of their job is to just give out information so people are very aware of the foundation’s role. Both she and Fichter were happy with the number of people they’d seen in attendance on the weekend.

ERs go one week on, one week off PROVINCIAL SASKATOON - A shortage of doctors is resulting in changes to the emergency departments at two rural Saskatchewan hospitals. The Saskatoon Health Region says emergency services will alternate between the Wadena (wahDEE’-nah) and Wynyard (WINN’-yard) hospitals. The schedule will switch every seven days. The Wadena hospital will take all emergency cases from the two communities one week and then Wynyard will do the same for a week. The move is necessary because there aren’t enough doctors left in Wynyard to provide ER service 24-7. *** REGINA - Saskatchewan says it will partner with U.S. researchers on a controversial multiple sclerosis treatment known as liberation therapy. The partnership has not yet been finalized. Health Minister Don McMorris says up to 90 Saskatchewan MS patients would be involved in the trial and the province is setting aside about $2 million to cover expenses. Liberation therapy involves widening veins in the neck to improve blood flow from the brain, although
some studies have cast doubt on whether narrowed neck veins are the primary cause of MS. Last October, Saskatchewan was the first province to pledge clinical trials when it put up $5 million and issued a call for proposals. NATIONAL TORONTO - A new audit shows Canadians are still facing challenges when trying to get information in a complete and timely manner from various levels of government. Newspapers Canada’s sixth annual National Freedom of Information Audit found that Canadians continue to have uneven access to what should be public information. The group represents Canada’s newspapers. A student audit team found a wide variation in how quickly and completely various levels of government respond to requests for information. The team made 354 requests on 40 topics to 11 federal departments and agencies, five provincial departments, 39 municipalities and 10 major hospitals. It found Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and Yukon were the fastest responders and B.C. the slowest. *** MONTREAL - A Ho-
locaust survivor has given a Montreal museum a jacket she was forced to wear while imprisoned, over six decades ago, at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Imy (Irma) NemenoffGellert donated the rare item on Monday, her 97th birthday, in the hope it might serve as a reminder of that dark period in history. “It was time,” Nemenoff-Gellert said of her decision to part with the item. “It’s good for people who come to visit the museum to know what happened during the Holocaust — youngsters, especially.” The Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre hailed the item as a rare find because, after the Holocaust, most prisoners destroyed the clothing that was forced upon them. INTERNATIONAL NEWARK, N.J. - A convicted killer who escaped a New Jersey prison in 1970, then hijacked a U.S. airliner two years later, has been captured in Portugal. The FBI says George Wright was arrested Monday by Portuguese authorities at the request of the U.S. government. Wright was convicted of the 1962 murder of a gas station owner. Eight years later, he and three other men escaped from the Bayside
State Prison in New Jersey. *** CAIRO - Egypt’s state media say the country’s first parliamentary elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster will begin Nov. 28.
The announcement by the country’s state news agency and state television on Tuesday quoted a statement by the ruling military council, which took over from Mubarak in February.
It ends months of speculations on the timing of the vote. The elections for two houses of parliament will be staggered over several months.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Riders no longer riding high Repairing Damaged Drywall Rod Pedersen Rider Insider Can a team hit rock bottom twice in one season? That appears to be the case with the Saskatchewan Roughriders who, according to “new” head coach Ken Miller, hit rock bottom on August 18 in Toronto with a 24-18 loss to the Argos which dropped their record to a league-worst 1-7. That prompted the firings of head coach Greg Marshall and offensive co-ordinator Doug Berry with Miller replacing them both with himself. In their next game, the Riders routed Winnipeg 27-7 in the Labour Day Classic after which Miller said “we’ve hit rock bottom and bounced back up.” Things were clicking along tickety-boo for the Green Giants in the weeks afterwards as they followed up the Labour Day victory with a 45-23 win at Winnipeg and a 30-20 home triumph over the Argos. At 4-7, things were lining up nicely for a run to the playoffs as the Riders hosted 5-6 B.C. this past Saturday, and a fourth straight victory would pull them even with the Lions for third in the West. But disaster struck. At least, disaster as it pertains to football, as the Riders got
UNRESERVED FARM & REAL ESTATE AUCTION
absolutely pulverized 42-5 by their western rivals. It was Saskatchewan’s most lopsided loss of the season and possibly their most woeful effort as well. The Lions built up a 30-0 lead in the second quarter and were allowed to put it on cruise control the rest of the way. Thud. Pffffffffft. Rock bottom? Again? Perhaps. “We got beat in every area,” huffed Rider lineman Gene Makowsky. “Turnovers, 2-and-outs. You won’t beat many teams doing that. It just didn’t go our way. We tried and it didn’t work. It was going upfield both ways. It feels like the end of the world but we’ll come back ready tomorrow.” It was a devastating blow to the Riders’ playoff chances ... absolutely devastating. The victory for the Lions not only moved them four points up on the Riders for the final playoff spot, but it also clinched the season series for the Lions. This means the Riders have to overtake B.C. to make the playoffs in the West because ending up tied with them won’t do any good. But what gives? An 18th consecutive sell-out crowd at Mosaic Stadium showed up
for what they felt was a mustwin game, and expected their team to play like it was. The Rider Nation did its part. However, what they saw was an unacceptable performance by an offence which committed six turnovers to B.C.’s none. They saw a team that took a-whopping 16 penalties for 145 yards including a first half ejection of Rider cornerback Nick Graham. “It is a disappointing loss and really we lost our discipline out there today,” Miller said. “We didn’t play with emotion, enthusiasm and effort which hasn’t been our characteristic lately. We have to play a more disciplined game.” No kidding. The 1-7 start to the season provided a razor-thin margin for error the rest of the way. Miller’s crew is 3-1 since his return with six games remaining in the regular season. Predicting how many wins it will take to make the playoffs is a waste of time if the club doesn’t take care of business on a weekly basis. They are very close to having to run the table which very rarely ever happens - although it has. “We can’t stub our toe again the rest of the way,” Miller advised after Saturday’s game. They can’t shoot themselves in the foot again either. Those feet are taking a beating in 2011. (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)
Q: Last week while moving furniture, my sons accidentally shoved an end table against the wall and punched a hole in it. How can I fix this? -- Charity in Lansing, Mich. A: Ouch! Fortunately, drywall holes are not too expensive a proposition in terms of repair. You can even get your sons to help, turning an accident into a learning experience. For supplies, you’ll need a power drill (for driving screws), a putty knife, a drywall/wallboard saw, a box cutter or drywall knife, drywall tape (a type of mesh tape), a drywall repair patch (a large, self-sticking mesh that can be cut to fit), drywall compound, sandpaper and matching paint. If the hole is pretty large -- more than a couple of inches in diameter -- you will need a spare sheet or piece of drywall (also called wallboard in some places), as well as scraps of plywood and drywall screws. For small holes, less than an inch or two in diameter, brush away debris and ease any jagged edges back
UNRESERVED PUBLIC AUCTION
into position. Cut away dangling or sharp edges. Grab a peel-and-stick repair patch, trimming if needed so that the edges extend at least an inch beyond the edges of the hole. Stick in place. With the putty knife, smooth on one coat of drywall compound, feathering the edges into the wall. Let it dry and smooth on a second coat. Once that is completely dry, sand the compound smooth, then paint to match the surrounding area. Note: If you have wallpaper instead of paint, you can patch the wall the same way and then patch with a matching scrap piece of wallpaper. Larger holes need more support than a plain mesh can provide, so you’ll need to replace the damaged drywall. Using a ruler and pencil, draw a square around the edges of the hole, giving about a quarter inch of space from each jagged edge. Next, carefully cut away the drywall, following those lines. Now you have a clean square to work with. Next insert those spare plywood strips. These go behind the drywall hole, providing a backing for your drywall patch to attach to. Hold each strip in place and drive a drywall screw
through the drywall about 1/2 inch above the hole and 1/2 inch below. Next, cut your drywall patch to fi t the hole. It actually needs to be a tiny bit smaller than the hole, about 1/8 inch, so the patch blends better. Press the patch against the plywood backing strips and drive screws through the patch, two at the top and two at the bottom, and into the backing strips. Finally, blend the patch in. Run mesh drywall tape over the edges of the patch so that it covers the gaps. Then, smooth drywall compound over the mesh tape, feathering into the wall (you don’t have to put compound over the center of the patch). Finish the same way as described for the smaller patch. HOME TIP: If sanding dzywall compound creates too much dust, try smoothing using a damp sponge or wet sander, then let dry completely before painting the area.

Jets highlight the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NHL season So much is new on the eve of the 2011-12 National Hockey League season that the league should consider adding an initial: The NNHL the New National Hockey League. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new defending Stanley Cup champion after the Boston Bruins stunned Vancouver in a riotous finish to the old season last June. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new sheriff in town as the retired Brendan Shanahan, a great player and a great thinker, has been given the task of meting out punishment this season. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new emphasis on reducing concussion-related injuries, especially since the NHL brass gnashes its teeth every time it watches the Pittburgh Penguins and sees superstar Sidney Crosby sitting in the press box, wondering if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever be the same again. Wondering if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever play again. There are new uniforms and new rookie flashes (hey, there, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins ... youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already got more than enough names, but Oilersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans will probably find a
new flashy nickname for you fairly soon) and new coaches and new TV deals. But the biggest of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? is really bringing back the old: The Jets are back in Winnipeg. If this NHL season is remembered for only one thing, it will be the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg and assuming the late, great name from the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Hockey Association days of 197278 and the NHL version from 1979-96. Economics of the day forced the Jets to move to Phoenix, where they became the Coyotes, but Jets fans never gave up hope. Many were ridiculed for that fantasy (â&#x20AC;&#x153;yeah, the Jets will come back to Winnipeg when I win the lottery three times in a rowâ&#x20AC;?) but in the spring and early summer of 2011, it all came together. CBC kicks off the new season with a TV doubleheader Thursday, Oct. 6, with a couple of classics: Montreal vs. Toronto and then the Crosbyless Penguins at Vancouver. TSN will do the majority of TV hockey again
Bruce Penton Sports Columnist this year. A regional Jets network will beam almost all their games to fans in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northwestern Ontario. Ratings, if pre-season numbers carry through to the season, will be spectacular. The Jets are not a Cup contender, but they may lead the league in merchandise sales. The new, military look to the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; logo has been controversial - but extremely popular. It all may lead to the NHL doing something else new: Dumping a few sadsack southern franchises and bringing the NHL to where it belongs: Quebec City, Hamilton ... perhaps even Saskatoon. The Jets will show the NHL that â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? makes a lot of sense. â&#x20AC;˘ NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay Leno:
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since Rick Perry has been governor of Texas, 234 criminals have been executed. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between Texas and California: In California, those criminals would have been given tryouts for the Raiders.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Comedy writer Jerry Perisho: Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Vince Young says he has an imposter who is posing in the community as him. If you suspect you see a Vince Young imposter, ask him to throw a pass; if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accurate, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fake.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Perisho again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NFL sent a memo to all teams warning of fines if players fake injuries during a game. The memo was prompted by a legal threat from professional wrestling.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two dozen
players from the 2010 Fresno State football team have been linked to welfare fraud. There are similar stories on CFL teams, except without the fraud.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Currie again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cleveland Browns have started 12 of the last 13 seasons with a loss. There havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been this many failed openers since I was dating.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Reader Don Dellinger, in a question to Wa s h i n g t o n P o s t . c o m columnist Norman Chad: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that Tiger Woods appears to be a non-entity on the weekends of majors, do you think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start wearing his signature power-red shirts on Fridays next year in an effort to make the cut?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Ex-Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living in his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basement and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make his childsupport payments, despite playing five seasons into a seven-year, $55 million contract he signed in 2004. Quipped Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just guessing here, but he probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an economics
major at Arizona.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Perry again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leo Nunez, the Marlinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 28-year-old closer, it was discovered, is actually 29-year-old Juan Carlos Oviedo. In other words, he was already a player to be named later.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Comedy writer Tim Hunter, on the oddity of an entire country setting aside a season to celebrate with drinking: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Germany calls it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Octoberfest.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We refer to it as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;football season.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Blue Jays pitcher Brett Cecil, to Canadian Press, after seriously cutting a finger and a thumb in separate kitchen accidents barely 18 months apart: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scared of a butter knife right now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Perry, to wrap up: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police in Los Angeles caught four people burglarizing the home of Manny Pacquiao while the champion was in his native Philippines preparing for a fight. Possible sentences range from 15 months in prison to 15 rounds with Pacquiao.â&#x20AC;? Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@ yahoo.ca

FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT
Beware new building codes Insulation quality excels in doIf you're like many Canadians, home ownership is your main and largest investment. It's important therefore, to note that some of the building codes in Canada (and around the world) have been updated for the purpose of producing more energy-efficient properties. A standard,
entry-level house built in 2012 for instance is expected to be significantly more energy efficient than an entry-level home built in 2006. A more stringent building code also means your builder will have to keep up with latest technology and how to apply it. For example, one of the
more popular choices today is to discard the traditional wood-framed wall construction in favour of an innovative insulated concrete form system. Known as an ICF, the insulated concrete form is now even further advanced by Canadian manufacturer, Nudura. A house constructed with this system (of pre-assembled, interlocking blocks) is reported to be stronger than a house made with wood. It is also more sound resistant, provides greater safety, and delivers energy savings and health benefits too. Drafts, cold spots and mould are controlled and homeowners are saving on energy bills up to 50 per cent. More information on this—as well as efficient ceilings and floors—is available online at www. nudura.com.

Energy efficiency is paramount when renovating, building a new room, or finishing the basement. As a result, homeowners are demanding better and more responsible materials than ever before. On the market right now for example is a big development in insulation. A product called Nu-
dura Insulation Technology is a system for insulating foundation walls, inner and outer walls, as well as flat, or cathedral ceilings. This do-it-yourself material is a shiplap (overlap) system of expanded polystyrene (EPS), which allows large sheets of foam to be installed without any gaps for air leak-

Interior designer creates the bedroom makeover dream There's no need to lose sleep over decorating colour choices thanks to a newly minted relationship between Benjamin Moore Paints, GlucksteinHome, and its founder, the acclaimed interior designer Brian Gluckstein. The newest GlucksteinHome bedding and bath collection now in stores throughout Canada is accompanied by the design maestro's suggested paint colour palette. It is a range of 185 Benjamin Moore paint colours that he has personally chosen to create a cohesive designer look in bed, bath and beyond in any home. “Colour plays a vital
role in creating the mood of a home,” said Gluckstein, who has themed his new collections on six distinct design characteristics: Antiquity, which he describes as a modern approach to traditional elements; Hampton, featuring relaxed tones and casual silhouettes at the beach; Suede, a celebration of deep tones and rich textures with a Zen-like serenity; Steel, sleek, polished and very cosmopolitan; Classics, quintessential design choices for any home with a traditional twist; and, Moderns, urban sophistication meets contemporary chic.” In teaming the bedding
with coordinating paint colour suggestions, the goal is to inspire consumers. It's also meant to help demystify what often is the most daunting challenge in design and decorating—making the right colour decision. With such a renowned design expert as their guide, consumers now can confidently and conveniently achieve a quick bedroom makeover. It's the kind of one-stop decorating solution today's busy homeowners really appreciate.

Kitchen and bath makeovers done right Updated kitchens and baths are a key draw for homebuyers. They also rank high in return on investment at resale, according to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, who suggests a potential return of 75 to 100 per cent for kitchen and bathroom renovations. This can translate to an added
$22,500 to $30,000 on the resale value of your home. For maximum return on investment, it is important to ensure your upgrades are in keeping with the value of homes in your neighbourhood. “I tell people to resist the impulse to over-renovate,” says Sandra Webb, a senior executive
at Royal LePage Canada. “Know the price trends in your neighbourhood and visit a few open houses to see what others in your area are doing. Going overboard on your renovation means you put your investment at risk.” According to Remodeling magazine's 2010-11 cost versus value report,
replacement projects have performed better in resale value than other types of remodeling projects, partly because costs are lower to begin with. The U.S. magazine's report cites the national average for a minor kitchen remodel at $21,695 nationally. A sample remodel at this cost includes
replacing cabinet fronts, flooring, laminate countertops and oven and cook top; installing mid-priced sink and faucet; adding backsplash and repainting. The U.S. national average for a mid-range bathroom remodel was $16,634, which included replacing fixtures, installing a porcelain-on-steel tub, new shower and ceramic tile flooring. Homeowners fixing to sell should lean toward replacement, rather than total renovation. Re-facing cabinets, changing door and draw pulls, replacing flooring, sinks, faucets and
countertops, along with a fresh coat of paint, can go a long way in boosting the resale value of your home. However, Webb points out that an amateur renovation can take away from the value of a home, so be sure to call in a professional when the job is beyond the scope and skills of the homeowner. Concentrating on changing one or two elements can make a huge difference in its appeal to you and a potential buyer. Choose your projects wisely and make sure you renovation is in keeping with the price range of homes in your neighbourhood.

Prepare your home for winter When the temperature begins to drop, it is comforting to know your house is prepared for whatever the season may bring. You can take winter planning by storm with a combination of easy prep steps and some longer-term investments that can save you both energy and money. The right steps can also help keep your family safe from the elements. Here are some ways to make your home winterready in three hours or less, and a few that could be well worth a little planning: Quick and easy • Check all windows and doors for air leaks,
and seal gaps where air is coming into the home. Use weather-stripping and caulking to seal spaces in and outside of the house to prevent cold spots in the home. Consider using window-sealing kits for the ones that won't be opened during the winter. • Inspect your roof for worn or broken shingles and replace any as required to prevent moisture leakage. • Install a carbon monoxide detector near the furnace and test it to make sure it is in working order. • Prepare an emergency kit for unexpected power outages. It should
Page 15
include water, flashlights, blankets, a radio and extra batteries. • Turn off the water supply to any external
faucets. • If the garage is unheated, wrap exposed pipes in insulation so they don't freeze.

Harry “Edgar” Gadd, born September 13, 1931 in Estevan, Sask., passed away on September 10, 2011 at the age of 79, at the Campbell River and District General Hospital in Campbell River, B.C. He was predeceased by his parents, Bert and Agnes Gadd; his brother, Leonard Gadd; his two sisters, Alice Shortreed and Esme McLean; his first wife, Hilda Gadd; and stepdaughter, Rhea Dunford.

Edgar grew up on the family farm north of Bienfait, later farming himself also north of Bienfait and north of Estevan. He worked at the Charcoal Briquette Plant in Bienfait. In 1979, Edgar and Hilda moved to Campbell River, B.C., where they owned the “Gadd-About Charters #1”, as they loved to fish and be on the water. Edgar was a long-time member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Local #3097 where he could often be found playing crib (and skunking a good many of them!). He looked forward to his morning coffee with his buddies and will be remembered as a kind and caring man who loved people. Edgar and Diane made a final visit to Estevan and area at the end of June to the beginning of July this year. Edgar’s wishes are that donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Campbell River, P.O. Box 741, Campbell River, B.C., V9W 6J3.

Provincial REGINA - Ken Miller bristled at the suggestion that the Saskatchewan Roughriders simply came out flat in their embarrassing 42-5 loss to the B.C. Lions on Saturday. “I’ve watched the films,” he said. “It was not a lack of effort.” The head coach offered a theory of his own. “We weren’t playing well collectively,” he said. “For some reason, we were not synchronized.” The loss to B.C. ended Saskatchewan’s threegame winning streak.
