Woodlawn revitalization to move into Phase 2 Fundraising for the Woodlawn Regional Park continues to filter in generously as 2013 looks to be a year where things will take a big step closer to normal.

The RM of Estevan has a three-phase plan for rebuilding the park and has raised enough funding to get through Phase 1 and move on to the next stage. A donation from the Richardson Pioneer Foundation was warmly received on Feb. 6 at the RM of Estevan office.

The $24,000 donation will go toward work on the Doug Third Hall kitchen.

Nathan Puffalt, park manager, said he’s excited to get to work as Woodlawn’s revitalization of the park continues this spring.

Woodlawn is undergoing some big changes since the 2011 flooding wiped large sections of the park away as it was absorbed by the Souris River. “The other thing we have going on for fundraising is the athletic park with all the sporting facilities that we have there. That’s going very well,� said Puffalt.

They have recently received other donations from local businesses as well as athletic organizations such as Estevan Minor Football and Estevan Minor Soccer.

The team behind the rejuvenation of Woodlawn Regional Park is excited to get to work this spring to get things back to normal. After the success of last year’s inaugural Beach Bash, this summer’s event is highly anticipated. – File Photo “We have enough to get Phase 1 completed, so we’re now moving into Phase 2,� added Puffalt.

For the athletic park, they will be putting in a new fence, upgrading the parking lot and finishing off the restoration of the buildings, including the sound booth and dressing rooms. There is also some landscaping and further cleanup that will be completed this spring and summer.

A $20,000 donation was made byApex Distribution in January, and those funds will

be directed at the athletic park. “With regards to the donation from Richardson for the Doug Third Hall, we’re just waiting for paint on the walls and then we’ll finish off all the final touches,� said Puffalt. “For the rest of the park, this spring is going to be a hectic one. We’re going to be putting in 100 new sites, which will be replacing the ones that were down there before.�

There were 240 sites, and after the flooding they completely lost about 40 of

those. “We’ll be replacing those sites in the main park area, but because we’re going to make those sites bigger, we’re going to drop that number down to 100 where there was over 200.�

In the future, he said, they will develop more sites, bringing the number closer to the previous mark.

Puffalt said the top priorities for them come the spring are to get the front entrances at Woodlawn and Boundary finished, along with the gatehouses. “Second is to build the

Salt’s notoriety is well-deserved

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you please provide the pros and cons of using salt in the diet? Why is water retention considered so bad?

I am an 81-year-old man with stents in five heart arteries and one in the left carotid artery. My blood pressure is controlled with one medicine.

-- E.W. ANSWER: What makes salt (sodium, sodium chloride) a danger to health is its tendency to raise blood pressure.

We need only 500 mg of salt a day, yet we take in more than five times that amount. Salt’s contribution to the elevation of blood pressure is something that people can alter without

resorting to medicines. Salt does contribute to fluid retention. That extra fluid finds its way into the circulation, and blood pressure rises. That’s the condensed version of the salt story. High blood pressure promotes heart attacks and strokes.

The booklet on high blood pressure explains why it is so important to lower elevated pressure and how to go about doing that. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 104W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Dairy products are a problem for me. For breakfast, 1 percent milk is fine and yogurt isn’t troublesome. Other dairy foods bother me. I am 61

U-

and more intolerant of dairy foods now than when I was younger. Why? -- Anon.

ANSWER: Lactase is an enzyme found in the small intestine. It digests lactose, milk sugar. Infants of all animal species are born with a good supply of the lactase enzyme.

They lose their supply of lactase at the time they are weaned from their mother’s milk. Most humans hold onto an adequate supply of lactase into adult life.

Some, however, have so little that they find dairy products impossible to digest.

Dairy products bloat these people, give them stomach cramps and can bring on diarrhea. That’s lactase deficiency or lactose intolerance. Both terms denote the same problem. The lactase deficiency is an ethnic trait. Blacks, Asian-Americans and Native Americans have less lactase in adulthood than do whites.

Age causes the lactase supply to dwindle. That’s the reason you have more trouble at age 61 than you did years ago.

Cheeses and yogurt are exceptions to the rule. Many lactase-deficient people tolerate them well.

You can overcome the lactase deficiency problem by avoiding dairy products, by taking the lactase enzyme in pill form before eating dairy products or by using dairy products that have been pretreated with the enzyme. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

The Collage festival is also planned to run again in Woodlawn, after the Southeast Newcomer Services decided to take over the event. “Last year was definitely one of those trying years, but it was exciting to push through and get the plan in place with everything ready to go for this season. It’s going to be an exciting one again with the return of the Beach Bash and a grand opening celebration.�

Puffalt hinted at a further change at the park that will be announced in the coming weeks, but was coy about any further details. There is plenty to be excited about as Woodlawn looks to have a big 2013.

new sites, put in the new roads and make sure the all services are in working order.�

The money to complete that work has come in from the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP). “Obviously with insurance, it’s always less than you expected and less than you need, so it’s going to be a tight race, but it should be coming in on track.�

Puffalt is excited to bring Beach Bash back to the Boundary Dam beach area on Aug. 10. “This time around we want to improve on the experience,� said Puffalt, offering ideas like more bands performing for the festival.

Perspective

Russia hits new benchmark in overspending The Winter Olympic countdown is on, and right on schedule we learn that the Sochi Games are over budget.

It’s something that plagues pretty much every Olympic Games. Not only are they expensive for host countries, they frequently become more expensive than originally planned. The 2014 Games, it appears, are more expensive than any of the previous events by a long shot. The numbers are now playing to the tune of $51 billion.

I am a supporter of the Olympics. I know it’s less idyllic and more political than they try to let on, but I still think it’s an important global event and healthy for nations to compete together in a peaceful manner. It’s a great way for people around the world to connect, as they travel to host countries and interact.

We don’t always mix well together, but generally it’s an important way for us to come together every couple of years in celebration of the best our countries offer.

Regardless of how much I enjoy the Games, despite the politicizing and commercialization, which does help pay for them, we don’t need to go overboard.

While each event does go overboard,

Jordan Baker Thoughts From My Fingers leave it up to the Russians to pass it off like the word restraint simply doesn’t translate into their language.

Spending 25 times as much as the Vancouver Games is a little overkill.

The Olympics are important, but at some point organizers have to look at what they’re doing and ask themselves some tough questions. Their job is to ensure they have facilities in which the athletes can safely compete. Those venues don’t have to make last year’s venues look like shelters. They don’t need to be dazzling.

It’s the same as the opening/closing ceremonies. Nobody should feel obligated to one-up the previous year’s ceremony. China beat us all and we should all just accept that. They really have their game together. Nobody else will be able to match them.

Pumping that much money into an

Olympic event is a little crazy. It makes you question our priorities just a little bit.

I generally think that people who find sports, all sports, a ridiculous waste of time are bitter, unco-ordinated people.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be legitimate arguments against what lengths we go to in order to compete.

Hearing that the ski jumping venue ballooned from US$65 million to about $250 million, is a head scratcher. Apparently it happened because the site they picked was the worst possible location in all of Russia.

Needless to say, Putin was not humoured by this decision. To a man who is, at best, perceived as being confused by the term humour, the worst thing he could possibly become is a laughing stock. If $51 billion doesn’t make people chuckle, nothing will.

Maybe Russia has never been very fond of the idea of restraint, and it’s definitely showing in their Olympic planning. The dollars pumped into Sochi are insane. The planning committee has clearly lost all sense of control over their project.

But I do hope it’s a great show come February 2014.

Prairies can lead way for food security Regular readers will know that I have an interest in trying to look ahead and fathom how this world is going to feed itself on finite land resources and a population seemingly incapable of slowing its ever burgeoning growth.

So it was with definite interest to me when, last December, the Global Institute for Food Security at the University of Saskatchewan was launched by the Saskatchewan government.

The institute has a lofty goal - to develop Saskatchewan-led solutions to feed a growing world population. It is a goal that is certainly worth pursuing.

The funding mix, with initial commitments of up to C$35 million from PotashCorp and C$15 million from the province over the next seven years, should give the institute a solid resource base on which to start its efforts.

That said, the provincial share, which amounts to a couple of bucks per person per year in the province, is perhaps not as large as we should expect. But it is a start, and that is the important thing.

“The institute will apply Saskatchewan’s unique resources, innovation and expertise to address the increasing global demand for safe, reliable

Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist food,” read a release at the time of the launching.

Food security is, of course, tied directly to agriculture production, and in terms of farming, Saskatchewan inventors have long shown an ability to solve problems.

We have seen that first-hand with George Morris developing the rod weeder, which at the time was a major step forward in field tillage technology.

And then there is the work done in Saskatchewan in terms of zero tillage by companies such as Flexicoil, Bourgault, and others.

It’s the same thing we have seen farmers accomplish in terms of production.

Producers have been quick to pick up on advancements in farming techniques, whether it is zero-till alternatives, the move from common rapeseed

to canola, and then genetically modified canola, which offers still more options, or how farmers adopted pulse crops into their rotations and quickly became major exporters on a global scale.

So turning the ingenuity we have seen come to the fore in the past and applying it to the problems associated with food security is a step forward.

In announcing the launch, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said it well.

“The plan for growth positions Saskatchewan as a global leader in food security and innovation by 2020,” he said in a release. “Advancing Saskatchewan’s agricultural advantage allows us to significantly increase the global food supply - our moral obligation as a good global citizen - while building the next economy, an innovation economy, here at home.”

Given our innovative past, and our quickness to adopt advancements, producers should seek to lead developments to ensure greater food security.

In the end it is good for both our producers and industry, but more importantly for the world population in terms of preventing hunger.

What are the best things about being single on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day?

He She He She Said

The best thing about singlehood on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another day when you have no special someone to share it with.

Turning Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day into simply Feb. 14, the day between Feb. 13 and 15, can be very liberating. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like how I forgot Groundhog Day happened this year until two days after.

The unattached Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day can be something of a relief for people who enjoy their independence. It makes for a day when nobody expects anything from you, so you can go about your business as the women in the office get distracted by the bouquets filtering through the front door.

Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day can also be a big financial commitment, when compared to any other regular day. A night out with some fine wine may not be very budget conscious.

A sexy telegram to your significant other could run a few hundred dollars, though the reaction might be worth it. Everybody has a price they are willing to pay, or must pay, to make Feb. 14 a special one for their partner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; everyone except single people.

As someone who has experienced a few single Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Days, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great just to not have to worry about it. Maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m selfish, which is probably true, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to go through a Feb. 14 without having to concern yourself with things going a particular way. As the only person with nothing riding on the day, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never let yourself down.

Special days are nice sometimes, but because of the stress that they can bring into everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have another normal day. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jordan Baker

Being single on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is often something people dread and fear. Girls joke among their friends that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to spend the night locked in their house with a self-purchased box of chocolates and cry while watching The Vampire Diaries. Guys ... well, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine single guys treat V-Day much differently from how they treat every other weekday. Guys probably play video games, watch a hockey game, go to the gym and post selfies on Instagram.

You single people have a pretty great situation on your hands.

As a single person on Feb. 14, you have a world of possibilities. You can do anything.

There are no expectations regarding dinner plans, or gifts or formal clothing options. You can be selfish and do whatever makes you the happiest, which is so awesome and definitely something to be celebrated.

I think the number one thing about being single on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is the freedom. Sure, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have a special someone to hang out with all night. But you definitely can call the girls and complain about how much boys suck while eating individual litres of ice cream. You can wear sweatpants and heals and vacuum your living room, for all anyone will know. Or, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really lonely, you can have a couple of drinks and make out with the first attractive person who passes you at the bar. The world is your heart-covered oyster!

So definitely donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sulk if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re single at this time of year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than dating a jerk with a crazy ex, or anyone who makes you unhappy. Celebrate how you are independent and awesome, and you can buy your own damn chocolate. You could even buy in on Feb. 15, if you wanted, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheaper. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tonaya Marr

Said

Homemade play clay sparks creativity When the older kids are off to school, whip up a batch of easy-to-prepare play clay for your preschoolers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inexpensive, time-tested homemade recipe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to try, especially on a rainy or snowy day when kids are cooped-up indoors.

Playing with clay is good for children, too, since the experience involves most of their senses. Exercising many of their developing skills, they feel the texture, see the colors and observe how they change when shaped. Whether they roll the clay out, shape it or squish and squeeze it, imaginations will soar when their creativity leads the way in open-ended play.

Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a batch or two in different colors, your preschoolers and their friends will be eager to get their hands in the soft, fun-to-handle concoction.

When playtime is over, store in decorated recycled tins.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stuff: 1 cup white flour 1/2 cup salt 1 cup water 1 tablespoon cream of tartar 2 tablespoons cooking oil Several drops of food coloring Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fun: 1. An adult should combine all ingredients in

a medium-size saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. After just 2-3 minutes, the mixture will pull away from the sides of the pan and form a ball.

Remove from the pan. Cool for a minute.

2. Knead the warm

dough on a floured surface with your child until smooth.

Store in decorated recycled containers with snap lids or zipper-style plastic bags. I keep mine in the refrigerator between play. ***

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2013

So, you want to know my password? password, I try to think up something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original, clever and hard to guess.

This can, of course, lead to severe awkwardness if I ever have to share my password with someone.

For example, one day at work I put in a 62-hour day, complete with a trip into North Dakotas to work on a story. I got back to Regina pretty late and edited my work in time for the 11:30 newscast and went home in an exhausted haze. I left the raw, unedited material in a folder on my computer desktop and signed off.

The assignment editor called me bright and early in the morning, asking for

Passwords have become such an important part of our daily lives that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine not having to sign in or unlock the things I want to use.

When I wake up, I unlock my cellphone to turn off my alarm. I use a password to sign into my laptop. I sign into my email. I log onto my school profile or my work profile every single day. If I want to check my funds, I sign into my back account. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m paying with my debit card, I enter in my PIN. That could be a lot of passwords, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m betting that a lot of us use the same password for multiple accounts. When I require a

Tonaya Marr Maybe Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Just Me my password so he could sign into my profile and send the unedited stuff to the national news desk because they were interested in the story. This wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been a problem if my password wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t super embarrassing.

My old password was the name of a friend Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had since elementary

school, Brandon Smith.

Brandon used to sign into my Facebook account so he could play Facebook games. And it was fi ne with me, until he started messing with my account settings and stuff. Eventually I had to kick him off and I changed my password to his name so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never think to use it.

But I also decided to use that password for my work account and had to awkwardly explain this to my co-worker over the phone. He assumed it was my boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and had a great laugh. I wanted to die of shame.

The moral of the story is to always make sure your work passwords arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t super embarrassing. Big-

Daddy101 is not the kind of password you want to share with a co-worker if they need to access your stuff.

Tonaya Marr doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used brandonsmith as her Facebook password anymore. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother trying to log into her account.

You can reach Tonaya by e-mail at Tonaya.marr@ gmail.com or on Twitter @TonayaMarr.

Sask. Party introduces Creative Saskatchewan Provincial REGINA - The Saskatchewan government says a new agency will help support the film industry after cuts last year.

Culture Minister Kevin Doherty says legislation is to be introduced in the spring to establish Creative Saskatchewan.

The province says the agency will work with creative organizations and, in the case of the film industry, also support production.

A $1-million transition fund is to back projects until Creative Saskatchewan is launched later this year.

The province faced much hue and cry when it

cut a film employment tax credit in the budget last March.

The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce said the move kicked the fi lm industry out at the knees and several production companies have since left the province.

National GATINEAU, Que. The CRTC is being urged to roll out its proposed wireless code in stages.

Rogers Communications told a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission hearing that while some of the proposed changes can be made swiftly, others could take

as long as a year and a half.

The CRTC has suggested all changes could be made in six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no reason why at least some of the recommendations could not be implemented in the short term,â&#x20AC;? said Ken Engelhart, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of regulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those changes requiring more signifi cant work can then be allotted additional time.â&#x20AC;?

The telecom regulator is holding a week of hearings in Gatineau, Que., as it aims to set national standards for the content and clarity of cellphone contracts.

Much of the testimony so far has focused on the

length of cellphone contracts, locked devices and roaming and cancellation fees. *** EDMONTON - Several top scientists say it might be time to start thinking about setting out food for some polar bear populations.

In a newly published paper, the researchers argue that the loss of sea ice the bears use to hunt is so advanced in some areas the mighty Arctic predators may no longer be able to survive without human help.

Andrew Derocher at the University of Alberta says some populations are so fragile that one bad year could cause widespread starvation.

Derocher says sea ice trends in Hudson Bay suggest a catastrophic year could happen any time.

He says bears in that area are already stressed and recent studies show them in poor condition with few cubs.

Derocher says the

public will have to decide how it wants to handle the prospect of large numbers of bears dying.

International PYONGYANG, North Korea - North Korea conducted a nuclear test at an underground site in the remote northeast Tuesday, taking an important step toward its goal of building a bomb small enough to be fitted on a missile that could reach United States.

North Korea made clear that the explosion of its third atomic device â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which it claimed was smaller than the ones in its previous two tests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was a warning to what it considers a hostile United States. Its actions drew immediate condemnation from Washington, the U.N. and others. Even its only major ally, China, voiced opposition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The test was conducted in a safe and perfect way on a high level, with the use of a smaller and light A-bomb, unlike the previous ones, yet with great

explosive power,â&#x20AC;? North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official Korean Central News Agency said.

It was a defi ant response to U.N. orders to shut down atomic activity or face more sanctions and international isolation, as well as a direct message from young leader Kim Jong Un to the United States, Pyongyangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 enemy since the 1950-53 Korean War. *** VATICAN CITY - A Vatican spokesman says the resigning Pope Benedict XVI will play no role in election of his successor.

The Rev. Federico Lombardi said Tuesday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the pope will surely say absolutely nothing about the process of the election.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will not interfere in any way,â&#x20AC;? Lombardi told reporters at a Vatican briefing.

Benedict announced his resignation Monday, citing frail health. On Feb. 28, he will become the first pontiff to step down in nearly 600 years.

Third Town Band puts own sound on classic songs The Third Town Band inspired local music lovers to flock to the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum on Friday night, as the Filipino group played a mix of favourites, giving each song a bit of their own reggae flair.

The band, made up of seven Filipino immigrants now residing in Estevan, Oxbow and Weyburn, played a varying collection of cover songs, as well as the rare original Leaving You. Performing at the art gallery, and later in the evening at Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neighbourhood Grill and Bar as part of the After Dark/After Hours concert series, the group had a few nerves to get over when attention was turned to them and the first notes were struck.

James Senires, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rhythm guitarist, spoke with the Mercury following the art gallery set. Senires said the band, which has only played before an audience a few times so far, was experiencing some stage fright early on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the first times, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played a couple of gigs outside Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but this was one of the gigs that we had that was kind of a mellow thing,â&#x20AC;? said Senires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a big challenge for us because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always loud because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the bar.â&#x20AC;?

The group did relax

Kim Marbella provided vocals during the Third Town Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum as one three lead singers the band featured over the course of their set. Beside her, Wesh Binalla provides a base line during their reggae cover of Alicia Keysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fallinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. after they got into the swing of things, but Senires said when they first started playing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we were out of our comfort zone.â&#x20AC;?

Members of the band had many friends in the attendance, as about 30 people filled the main gallery, and seeing supporters

in the crowd helped to calm

everyone down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As things went on, as soon as we saw some smiles and a familiar face, our friends from here, it kind of got us more comfortable,â&#x20AC;? added Senires.

With vocalists Kim Marbella and Jelyne Eugenio, the band covered No Doubtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Underneath it All, 99 Red Balloons, the English version of German band Nenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original from 1983, as well as a reggaeinfused version of Alicia Keysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fallinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Kristofer Duran also provided vocals when the band performed U2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s With or Without You, and Bryan Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summer of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;69.

Lead guitarist Edu Malangen sang Get Up, Stand Up during their peppy version of the classic written by Bob Marley for his band The Wailers.

The band even brought in a friend to play bongos when they hit their final song of the evening, Guns Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rosesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sweet Child Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mine.

The Third Town Band plays reggae with great style, and with the addition of a brass section, would fit right into the ska genre.

Before heading over to Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to play their second set of the night, Senires

commented on the differences between the two venues of the After Dark/ After Hours series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really big difference from the bar scene, because here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about being mellow, but each sound that you make is a really big tune when it comes out there.

We were looking at each other and we were all really tense. Each mistake that you make, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking in the back of your head, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, they might have heard that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In the bar area, it will be, like, whatever,â&#x20AC;? said Senires said with a little laugh.

He said when they move over to the bar they would be mixing up their song list a little bit, adding some more dance songs, a little disco and lots of current Top 40 hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good dance scene,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Senires said it can be difficult to practise, particularly as a group, because of their busy work schedules. Still, they try to get together each week to jam.

The next After Dark/ After Hours night is planned for March 9, when the Dustin Ritter Band will be in town.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2013

Coalers to face Cougars in Round 1 For the second straight year, the Bienfait Coalers have finished in first place in the Big Six Hockey League.

Entering last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular season finale against Redvers, the Coalers boasted a robust record of 18-2 for 36 points, putting them seven clear of the second-place Midale Mustangs.

With three games being played Tuesday, the

others being Carlyle at Wawota and Carnduff at Arcola, there were still two playoff races to be decided.

Wawota (12-8) sat one point ahead of Carnduff (11-8-1) for third place, and Arcola-Kisbey (9-101) was tied with Redvers (9-10-1) for fifth.

Two first-round matchups are already determined: the Coalers will face the last-place Carlyle Cougars (2-16-2), while Midale

(14-6-1) will play the seventh-place Oxbow Huskies (7-13-1).

Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores were as follows: Feb. 5, Bienfait 8, Carnduff 3; Oxbow 3, Arcola 2. Wednesday, Wawota 6, Oxbow 5; Bienfait 7, Carlyle 6 (SO).

Friday, Redvers 4, Oxbow 3. Saturday, Redvers 6, Carlyle 2.

The league scoring race was also up for grabs heading into last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

games. Bienfaitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brennan Wrigley led the league with 38 points, with teammate Lorne Tytlandsvik right behind with 37 points. Others with a shot at finishing first are Carnduffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dan Moriarty, with 37 points, and Bienfaitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riley Tetreault, with 35.

In provincial action, Carnduff advanced to the next round in the B draw with a 7-5 win over Grenfell in Game 2 of their series

on Saturday. That gave them a 12-9 series victory.

Carnduff will now face Rocanville in the south semis.

Meanwhile, Arcola lost the deciding Game 3 of their A series against Lumsden 5-2, eliminating them from provincials.

On the C side, Wawota

lost 5-2 to Radville in Game 2, losing their series 8-7.

Overtime in the second game was needed to determine the winner.

The other Big Six team still remaining is Midale.

They will face Lumsden in a best-of-three south semifinal on the A side.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2013

Where has the real Ovechkin gone?

The Secret Service in Washington would be well advised to leave Barack Obama alone for a day or two and start looking into the story behind the impostor whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wearing No. 8 these days for the Washington Capitals.

Five years ago, you see, the player wearing sweater No. 8 for the Capitals was Alex Ovechkin, the dashing, smiling, fan-friendly, hard-hitting, hard-shooting hockey flash from Russia who, along with Sidney Crosby of the Penguins, was either No. 1 or No. 1A on the superstar list of National Hockey Leaguers.

But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. Disappeared. Somebody must have kidnapped him and replaced him with a look-alike who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be able to score, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dash around at high speed anymore and plays the game like a thirdline winger of which there are dozens in the best pro hockey league in the world.

Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Ovechkin hockey fans came to know and love five years ago and who in 2008 signed a 13-year contract worth $124-million?

If Ovechkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stats were a stock market chart, the arrow would be pointing

Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

down, down, down. His even-strength goals in the last five years: 37, 37, 25, 25 and one this year through 12 games. Points: 110, 109, 85, 65 and eight. The formerly beloved â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ovieâ&#x20AC;? had a mere four goals - only one of them even-strength - through the first 25 per cent of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collecting his huge paycheque, putting on the sweater and skates and then floating through the reduced 48game NHL campaign. Not surprisingly, the Capitals stood dead last - 30th out of 30 - with a mere seven points through 12 games this year.

To be fair, the total blame canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be put on the Impostorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulders, but when a teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superstar forward is being paid $124-million over 13 years, management expects more than one evenstrength goal to kick off a shortened season, where every loss is magnified by the mere 48 games they will play this year. It expects leadership, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not getting that from the guy wearing No. 8.

So the Sid the Kid versus Ovie battle appears

to be over and Crosby, concussions and all, has emerged victorious. Still, if the Secret Service can find out what happened to that No. 8 from 2008, hockey fans would love to know the answer. â&#x20AC;˘ R.J. Currie of sportsdeke.com: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yahoo! says JaMarcus Russell dropped 12 pounds and is nearer to making a comeback. In related news, I cut my hair and am closer to dating Anne Hathaway.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Norman Chad of the Washington Post: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that Colin Kaepernick, on his left arm, has tattooed the entire IHOP menu.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Brad Dickson, Omaha World-Herald: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next season in major league baseball, translators are going to be allowed on the mound for manager-pitcher conferences. We need a different rule: Anyone who gets paid $20-million per year in the U.S. spends $180 of that for a remedial English class.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Dickson again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a press conference two days after the Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said New Orleans did a terrific job as host. At least I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he said. As soon as Goodell got to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;terrific,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the power

cut out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, on why Wayne Gretzky is not as great a golfer as he was a hockey player: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The genius of Gretzky was that he took the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest game and slowed it dowwwwn.

He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that with golf, which is already slower than room service in Hell.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Ostler again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The line from (NFL commissioner) Roger Goodellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state-ofthe-league speech that will have moms sprinting to sign up their little boys for tackle football: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll add a neurosurgeon on the field to our game-day medical resources.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Another one from

Currie: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cirque de Soleil announced theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cut 400 jobs. There havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been so many clowns out of work since the NFL laid off replacement refs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Currie again: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The San Francisco Public Library is donating newspapers to an animal shelter for potty training puppies. So eventually Niner Chris Culliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homophobic rant will get the coverage it deserves.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Headline at SportsPickle.com: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe Flacco celebrates Super Bowl title with wild night at Applebeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti says the team plans to erect a

statue of polarizing linebacker Ray Lewis outside M&T Bank Stadium. Local pigeons canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to put a white suit on it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s David Letterman, on another Super Bowl honour for Ravens coach John Harbaugh: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was named the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable Harbaugh.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kristin Cavallari, who is engaged to Jay Cutler, said the Bears QB proposed to her via text message. Well, that ought to do wonders for Cutlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth-place finish in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;most dislikedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; athlete poll.â&#x20AC;?

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2013

Kabongo returns after 23-game suspension National AUSTIN, Texas - Canadian guard Myck Kabongo said Monday he is ready to return to the court after a 23-game NCAA suspension and that he should have co-operated with University of Texas officials when first asked about a 2012 trip to Cleveland.

The Toronto native was suspended for accepting airfare and personal training instruction and then providing false and

misleading information about the infractions during two interviews with university officials. Kabongo also was ordered to repay $475 to a charity of his choice Coach Rick Barnes has said Kabongo will be in the starting lineup Wednesday when Texas (10-13, 2-8 Big 12) plays at home against Iowa State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am ready to start playing with my team again and putting behind me the last several months. When

I went to Cleveland, I did not intend to break any rules and did not believe I had broken any. I should have been upfront with UT about everything the first time I had a chance, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I corrected my mistake and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I was truthful with the NCAA.â&#x20AC;?

The Longhorns are struggling through their worst season in 15 years under Barnes and are counting on Kabongo to

help turn things around over the last few weeks of the regular season. *** ZURICH - FIFA has ordered Canada forward Olivier Occean to serve a six-match ban after being sent off and then insulting the referee during a World Cup qualifier against Cuba.

Occean was sent off after a scuffle during Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-0 victory in Toronto last Oct. 12. Occean then was involved in â&#x20AC;&#x153;several

acts of unsporting behaviour and using offensive language toward match officials,â&#x20AC;? FIFA said in a statement.

FIFA also ordered the 31-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt player to pay a total of 8,500 Swiss francs (C$9,310) to cover a fine and costs of the proceedings. He can appeal the sanctions.

Occean served the first of his six-match sanction days after the incident, when Canada lost 8-1 against Honduras and was eliminated from the 2014 World Cup. International LONDON - The World Anti-Doping Agency is urging football to conduct more blood doping tests and intelligence operations to unmask cheating players.

WA D A D i r e c t o r General David Howman warned on Tuesday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;team sports players can go their entire career without being tested.â&#x20AC;?

WADA President John Fahey added that â&#x20AC;&#x153;football is not testing enough for (blood-boosting) EPO ... we are encouraging them to do more.â&#x20AC;?

Last week, Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-doping agency announced it was examining claims by a former president of Spanish team Real Sociedad that its players used performance-enhancing substances.

Fahey also urged football to â&#x20AC;&#x153;use intelligenceâ&#x20AC;? after highlighting its importance to building a case against Lance Armstrong.

Fahey says sport must be â&#x20AC;&#x153;alert to the increasingly sophisticated science available to athletes today and to the growing influence of the underworld.â&#x20AC;?

*** LAUSANNE, Switzerland - An official familiar with the decision says IOC leaders have dropped wrestling from the program for the 2020 Olympics.

In a surprise decision Tuesday, the offficial tells The Associated Press that the IOC executive board decided to retain modern pentathlon and remove wrestling instead.

The official spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the decision hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been announced yet.

The IOC board reviewed the 26 sports on the current Olympic program.

Eliminating one sport allows the International Olympic Committee to add a new sport to the program later this year. *** As the standard-bearer for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MMA, bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey has been shouldering a load for the UFC in recent months.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bared her soul on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Primetimeâ&#x20AC;? TV series building up to her UFC 157 main event with Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche on Feb. 23 in Anaheim, Calif.

Rousey is also building in media appearances around her training to keep the fires stoked.

For Rousey (6-0), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to climb into the cage and close the door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is killing time,â&#x20AC;? she told The Canadian Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already ready. If I could have it my way, I would fight her tonight. Just get her up and get it over with.â&#x20AC;?

Not that Rousey, a two-time Olympian in judo with a bronze medal to her credit, is feeling pressure under the spotlight.

Antique Mower and the other piece by R.E. Kennedy. Although I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to find anything out about Davis, but understand Kennedy is a prolific artist.

I purchased both at a notfor-profit shop. Neither is dated. I have two questions, how old are they, and what is each worth? -- Christine, Albuquerque, N.M. A: I am not an art expert, and for a competent answer to your questions you need to hire the services of a certified appraiser in your city.

Why? A free appraisal by a neighbor or so-called expert with no credentials is virtually worthless. If you really want to know about your art, spend the money and find out. If not, continue to enjoy them in your home.

I know what your next question is: You write a col-

A: I looked at your picture, and I doubt your mower would sell for $500 in this sluggish economy. My advice is to show it to several antiques malls in your area. *** Q: I have enclosed photos of two art pieces: one in oil, the second in pen and ink.

Canadian winters are famous for being cold. The mercury keeps dropping, and suddenly, the bears arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only ones hibernating!

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that many of us spend more time indoors in the winter, there are also those who embrace the outdoors, the snow and cooler temperatures.

For many parts of Canada, winter can mean bitter cold and winter storms that bring high winds, icy rain, or heavy snowfall.

This winter, get prepared for whatever the season will bring, whether you are indoors or out.

Follow these FIVE tips for staying safe in a Canadian winter: 1. Get informed and go outdoors. a. Are you eagerly awaiting your chance to hit the slopes?

Dreaming of making tracks with snowshoes? Check out AdventureSmart.ca to help you plan for a safe and enjoyable outing, whatever your passion. AdventureSmart.ca encourages everyone to follow the three Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s: Trip planning, training and taking the essentials for any outdoor adventure. Here are some key tips for winter adventures: b. Before heading out, complete a trip plan and leave it with friends or family. You can find a template online at AdventureSmart.ca http://www.adventuresmart.ca/trip_safety/ planning.htm c. Get trained for your adventure and stay within your limits. d. Take survival essentials with you and equipment like a communications alerting device in case of an emergency. In avalanche terrain, for example, essential equipment includes a probe, beacon and shovel.

e. Wear a helmet when skiing, skating, snowboarding and snowmobiling. Dress in layers to avoid hyperthermia and keep your head, ears and hands covered to prevent frostbite.

2. Stay safe indoors Winter is a busy season for fires in Canada. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be mindful of fire prevention and safety. Make sure you have working smoke alarms, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave burning candles unattended and if a pot catches fire while cooking, put a lid on it. Read more tips.

3. Check your family emergency kit a. You likely have some basic emergency kit items already in your home, such as a flashlight, battery-operated radio, food, water and blankets. The key is to make sure they are organized, easy to find and easy to carry (in a suitcase with wheels or in a backpack) in case you need to evacuate your home. b. Use this checklist to help put your kit together.

4. Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle Prepare an emergency kit and keep it in your vehicle. Refresh the supplies for winter. For example, add an extra blanket or new food items. Use the following list for ideas.

5. Check weather reports When severe winter weather threatens, Environment Canada issues special alerts to notify Canadians in affected areas so that they can take steps to protect themselves and their property.

Check out Environment Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s page on winter weather to learn more about the various weather alerts.

Winter may be cold, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be dangerous -- stay warm and safe and enjoy your winter, inside and out!

Wine is fine but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over do it Research has long supported the recommendation of one glass (5 ounces) of red wine for heart health, but many non-alcohol drinkers want to know if grape juice offers the same health benefits? The answer is yes, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100 percent purple grape juice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get similar benefits, but red wine would provide those health benefits at a bit higher level,â&#x20AC;? shares Susan Mills-Gray, Nutrition & Health Education Specialist with the University of Missouri Extension.

When grapes are fermented, the process creates/ liberates tannins, which are the beneficial compounds found in red wine. Tannins act as antioxidants in suppressing production of

the peptide responsible for hardening arteries.

Grapes and red wine also share the health benefits from resveratrol, an antioxidant found in the skin of red and purple grapes. Resveratrol promotes healthier blood vessels, which leads to better blood flow and overall improved heart health. Resveratrol has been found to block immature fat cells from developing and functioning, which can prevent/reduce body fat.

Resveratrol is also found in blueberries, cranberries, peanuts and peanut butter.

Most grape juice is made from the Concord grape. The Concord grape is far from ordinary. This little purple fruit (and its cousin the white Niagara grape) packs quite a nutrition punch to help fuel healthy, vibrant lifestyles.

Concord grapes have natural plant nutrients called polyphenols, including many of the same ones found in red wine. Not only do

polyphenols give Concord grapes their vibrant color, these plant nutrients also act as antioxidants and deliver benefits to help promote overall health.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, research suggests that Concord grapes make one hearthealthy juice. Most 100 percent grape juice is made with whole Concord grapes -- skin, seeds and all -- and contains no added sugar, color or flavor.

Getting enough fruits and vegetables each day is important for overall health. In particular, most people fall short on getting enough vibrantly colored, blue and purple fruits and vegetables, which only account for about 3 percent of total fruit and vegetable intake. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not great news, because a diet rich in a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables ensures the broadest range of vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant nutrients.

Dark-skinned blue and

purple fruits, like the Concord grape and grape juice, provide plant nutrients not found in many other colors of fruits and vegetables. In fact, according to a national survey, consuming blue and purple fruits and vegetables is associated with healthier eating patterns in children and adults, and overall better health in adults.

Drinking the right amount of 100 percent juice made with Concord grapes can be a smart way to add purple fruit to the diet and to liven up your day. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to remember that many purple grape juices arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made with Concord grapes, which means they may not have the same amount of plant nutrients, and therefore have less natural polyphenol power.

Check the label to make sure that the grape juice that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying is 100 percent grapes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The typical rule of thumb is that if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink alcohol, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

start, so 100 percent purple grape juice is certainly a good option,â&#x20AC;? adds MillsGray.

Juice also contains slightly less calories than wine -- juice has 4 calories per gram, wine has 7 calories per gram. So, enjoy the benefits of the juice of the vine without the alcohol and drink 100 percent grape juice!

GRAPE SMOOTHIE

JUICE

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an especially heart-healthy drink. Not only is it low in fat, but red grapes contain the same phytochemicals found in red wine that protect against heart disease. To freeze grapes for this recipe or for a great frozen snack, place the individual grapes on a tray and place them in a freezer. When frozen, pour the grapes into a re-sealable bag and store in the freezer.

1/2 cup grape juice,

chilled 1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1 cup frozen, seedless red grapes In a blender, combine grape juice, yogurt and grapes and blend until mixture is smooth and frothy.

Pour into 1 tall glass. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

Permanently silence a Squeaky Floor

By Samantha Mazzotta Q: The floor squeaks loudly when I walk over a couple of spots in my living room. I read somewhere that you can stop these squeaks by sprinkling talcum powder between the boards. But my floor is covered by carpet. Is there any other way to fix the squeaks? -- Squeaking Mad in Memphis A: Talcum powder is a good temporary fix for squeaky floorboards (as noted in my new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;101 Best Home Repair Tips,â&#x20AC;? available from Amazon).

But eventually the squeaks come back anyway. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not inclined to pull back the carpet repeatedly to apply powder between the boards, try a more per-

manent solution.

Do you have access to the underside of the living room floor, such as in the basement or the crawlspace under the house? If so, you either shim the nearest joist or secure the subflooring to the squeaky boards to reduce the noise.

To shim the floor, have a helper walk around the living room while you listen below for squeaks, and mark the noisy areas. Next, mark the joists (the large boards running perpendicular to the floorboards underneath the floor) on either side of the squeaky area. Coat a shim (a thin wedge of wood, available at most home-improvement stores) with a thin layer of wood glue, and hammer the shim into the gap between the joist and the subfloor on each side of the squeak. You may need to add a couple of shims on each side, and have your helper test the area each time.

If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t com-

pletely rid your floor of squeaks, try attaching the subfloor to the floorboards in the squeaky area more tightly. You do this by driving wood screws through the subfloor layer into the bottom of the floorboards.

Be careful to select screws that will not punch through the floorboards. Place the screws into the center of the squeaky area -- two should do it, but if you need three or more, go ahead.

What if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t access the underside of the floor? This is where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to roll back the carpet and address the boards from above.

To avoid marring the floorboards, hammer finishing nails between the squeaking boards, angling them so that they go into one edge of one of the boards. The nails should be flush with the floorboards.

Space them a few inches apart along the squeaky area.

If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, you

can secure the floorboard to the subflooring from above.

This will mar the board, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to drive a finishing nail (or if necessary, a wood screw) directly through the center of the squeaky floorboard into the subflooring. Use a nail set or another nail to drive the finishing nail slightly below the woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface.

Then cover it with wood filler whose color matches the color of the floorboard.

HOME TIP: Talcum or graphite powder are just temporary fixes for squeaky floors. Apply either one between the offending boards and brush away excess.

Prairie dog discovery remains a wonder

by Samantha Weaver â&#x20AC;˘ It was British author Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observa-

tion: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Those who study such things say that if you drink 100 cups of coffee in a row, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to kill you. â&#x20AC;˘ You might have heard that George Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

dentures were made of wood, but in fact, they were made of hippopotamus ivory. â&#x20AC;˘ In 1900, a prairie dog colony was found in Texas. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising -- prairie dogs are fairly common out West -- but

this colony was unique.

Researchers say it was the largest colony ever discovered, providing a home to 400 million prairie dogs and stretching over 25,000

square miles.
