THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2011 Page 3 Amazing advances in hearing aid technology make new systems so small they’re almost invisible! But they’re packed with the latest technology to improve your hearing even in the most challenging situations.

Local recalls time in both the Pacific and war-torn Europe By: Jordan Baker Trader Express It was 1942 when Joseph Gervais, a farm boy from Hitchcock, received an invitation from the Canadian government to attend a medical exam in Regina on Jan. 1, 1943.

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

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

For five months, Gervais underwent basic training with regular route marches of between 15 and 20 miles. He even recalls an instance when they walked for 24 straight hours. They had the choice to stop and sleep, but they had to sleep outside, and it was raining.

“Getting ready for basic training, that was just toughening up all the time,” said Gervais. “We ended up walking a 24-hour route march. We were on our way back from landing-craft training. We had to walk back about 75 miles, so we walked the first day and at night when we stopped for supper, it started to rain. It was a choice to walk or sleep (in the rain), so we told them we better walk. So we walked all night. That would be 24 hours.”

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

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

He said taking the course meant one thing: they were going to the North Pacific Aleutian Islands that spread west from Alaska.

Japanese soldiers had occupied the island of Kiska.

Gervais recalled landing on the beach at Kiska in the fog.

There was a rope ladder he and his fellow soldiers climbed down the side of the boat.

“When you think the (bottom of the boat) was at your feet you let go of the rope and step off. Well it was another 20 feet to the ground, so you end up on your back, and you

Gervais said he didn’t Gervais returned to hear any firing when he Canada for a couple more landed, which led to some months of training before confusion as to what ex- again shipping off, this actly was happening. The time to England. He was Japanese had already left separated from his unit after the island. The fog added to he was forced to stay behind the confusion of the landing to wait for some equipment however. American sol- to be ready for him, but he

before heading to mainland Europe.

Gervais was in England for a few weeks before moving into Belgium and the Netherlands. He and his unit were behind the line, waiting to be called up if there were casualties on the line, but that didn’t last long before the war ended.

His duty ended up consisting mostly of guard duty with the South Sask.

Regiment. A lot of the time he was guarding bridges and keeping civilians from moving anywhere they pleased, as they needed passes at the time. There were also a lot of German prisoners who were heading back to Germany.

“They were sending German prisoners (back to Germany),” he said. “There were about 20,000 every morning that would walk by. After they walked by we had to make sure they didn’t get away on us. They were just given discharges, I guess, and they went home after that.”

He said the duty was kind of like an everyday “occupation.”

Gervais considers himself lucky.

“It felt good to get out of there alive. If I would have been older, I probably would have seen more action, and I might not have come out so easy,” he said.

Now Gervais is an 89-year-old veteran who has retired to Estevan. He is a meritorious life member of the Estevan Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and has received a Palm Leaf, the highest honour one can be bestowed in the Legion. He is a past president of the Estevan Royal Canadian Legion and for three years was a zone commander for District 1, Zone 2. Gervais was discharged from the army immediately following his return to Canada in 1946. Upon his return he came back to Hitchcock and farmed for the next 34 years until his retirement in 1980.

“It felt good to get out of there alive. If I would have been older, I probably would have seen more action, and I might not have come out so easy.”

- Joseph Gervais diers were also landing on the island, and because of some friendly fire through the fog, Gervais’ unit lost two soldiers that day.

For about six months he was stationed on that island, two months of which he was living in a foxhole he had dug into the side of a hill.

“There were no buildings, there was no nothing.

We had to dig a hole into the side of the hill or wherever.

We were there unloading ships. There were thousands and thousands of troops that needed to be fed.

Even the coal had to come in by bags and had to be carried off,” said Gervais.

They remained on the island for so long as a guard, to make sure the Japanese didn’t come back to the island. In the meantime

was thrown in with a new unit for the rest of his time in the army. He never saw any of the guys from his old unit again.

“You just go in with somebody else, and you make friends,” said Gervais.

The trip across the Atlantic was the most worrisome time for him, he said, because the biggest concern was German Uboats lying beneath the ocean’s surface. Passage to the British Isles was uneventful however and he spent some time waiting

Perspective

Nothing beats the beaver Maybe it’s because I never grew up in a Canada in which the polar bear is a national symbol, but when I think Canada, I don’t think of polar bears, or vice versa.

One senator doesn’t like that beavers are our national symbol. She said we should have something new, suggesting a polar bear. This is why senators should be unseen, unheard and just collect their cheque at the end of the week. They clearly aren’t ideas people.

Coca-Cola already uses the polar bear for their mascot. Well, polar bears and Santa Claus. We don’t want to have to pay them royalties. Canada owns the North Pole, I think, so we could use Santa, but he might hold a dual-citizenship with Norway.

The Mercury website ran a poll asking what Canada’s symbol should be and the beaver was the general consensus. Winning 38 per cent would likely give it a majority government.

Runner-up went to the maple leaf, but it’s already on our flag. I love the Canadian flag, but we don’t want to be redundant when it comes to symbolizing our nation as we are so much more than a pile of leaves.

The move to get away from the beaver is apparently because they are one step above rodent, a short step that is, and

Jordan Baker Thoughts From My Fingers rodents don’t represent us. But beavers are underdogs, like Canadians. They just quietly work away and do their thing until one day there’s water in the basement and a house of mud and twigs in the river. This is kind of what happened with Justin Bieber, and the entertainment industry.

If we are to select a new symbol, it better be a good one. There isn’t much going on for polar bears. I don’t think we have a lot in common with those albino northerners.

Maybe a bottle of pure maple syrup, Canada’s greatest export. It would be difficult to come up with a catchy way of representing that visually. Mounties were an option on the website that garnered a small following, though I suspect that was probably our local RCMP detachment voting multiple times. Those red coats are eye-catching but red coats also have a different meaning in Britain’s history, so those images might be confused by others.

We could have a multi-coloured flag, to represent how Canada is built 90 per cent on immigration from all over the world. But the gay community already has rainbow flags, so we’d have to pay them royalties too.

Canada is just a difficult thing to symbolize in one clean and crisp image. Maybe if we just had an updated, hip beaver logo, one that speaks to a new generation of Canadians. Rather than that squirrelly fellow gnawing on a thin twig, we could give the image some spinach and Popeye our national symbol up a it.

We developed the beaver as a national symbol after the critters’ prominence in the local fur trade. Maybe if we made the beaver a slick salesman and gave him a sophisticated name like The Merchant of Canada, he’d be seen as a more respectable representation of us all.

Beavers are so synonymous with Canada, a beaver coin in the 1800s was valued as 10 beaver pelts. We didn’t measure value in currency, we measured it in beaver pelts.

So if you asked a someone how much that new car was, he’d reply, “It’s 12,000 beaver pelts, sir.”

That’s a Canada I want to live in. Let’s keep the beaver.

Livestock prices up with less production Farmers are enjoying what is a near anomaly in terms of agriculture as there are good prices on both the livestock and grain side of things.

The idea of mixed farms, producing both grain and livestock, was once the norm as a natural buffer against low prices.

Farmers reasoned if grain prices were low, livestock would be higher, and vice versa.

That has been the norm in most years, even as farmers moved away from the idea of mixed operations.

This year things have been good on both sides and the expectations for 2012 are for good prices to continue for livestock, and grains and oilseeds.

The prospect for livestock may be longer term as well.

Sheldon Wilcox, manager of DLMS Alberta, a speaker at this year’s Grain Millers Harvest Showdown, said he sees “two, three, maybe four years” of good prices ahead for cattle, adding “if I had to guess, I’d say four.”

The reason for the strong prices and prospects is simple: the Canadian and North American beef industry went through a huge downsizing in terms of cow numbers over the last few years.

“Where we are right now is a much smaller cow herd in Western Canada,” said Wilcox. “We’re no longer producing

Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist twice what we consume ... we’re producing a lot less beef.”

The same trend occurred in the sheep industry and that sector is currently enjoying strong prices.

The continuing change in the ethnic mix of Canada with more immigrants from countries where lamb is a more traditional food may help carry that industry forward too.

Analyst Mike Jubinville was among the speakers at this year’s Saskatchewan Canola Expo held in Yorkton as part of the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown. He said the year ahead will see prices soften, but not dramatically.

“I don’t think canola markets are in threat of collapse ... I don’t look at the year ahead as a calamity in the making,” he said. “I think the highs are behind us ... assuming no production glitches ... no real production threats ... there will be slightly tighter margins to work with than we had this year.”

That said, he said “we are trading new dynamics in this market,” adding that “the old highs are likely the new lows.”

While the returns may not be as good next year, Jubinville’s forecast suggests canola will again be profitable.

Canola is becoming a crop which, with its unique oil profile, and ability to be diverted to the biodiesel sector, is buffered somewhat against broader trends in the vegetable oil sector.

Jubinville said he also expects wheat prices to move lower in the new year, and while cereal prices may back off from this year, profitability should still be possible with the market options available.

Eventually however, farmers internationally will over-produce markets and prices will dip below the cost-ofproduction again.

And, as Wilcox said with regard to cattle markets, strong prices will stay until the industry “screws up and overproduces,” adding, “and we will.”

As a result, the good prices remain for “as long as it takes us to screw it up.”

That statement is applicable across basically all agriculture commodities and tells the story of a supply/demand market, but for now producers have to look forward with the expectation of another good year.

Hey! Hey everyone! It snowed!?

‘Tis the season, folks. Or ‘tis nearly the season, at least.

It’s only the beginning of November, and I don’t think the Christmas season really hits until December.

But ‘tis the season to be thankful for what you have, as recent events have made it clear to me.

I’m thankful for the Estevan Comprehensive School, where students are choosing to wear hoodies instead of winter jackets. I am thankful to have graduated and to have acquired the common sense missing from kids age 14-18.

Seriously, kids, making a 50-second sprint to the door to get in out of the cold is one thing, but when there’s a fire alarm or something, you’re really going to regret your clothing choice.

I am thankful for Uggs. Uggs are the strangest trend I’ve ever encountered and they make me appreciate all other shoe styles. Uggs aren’t nice. They look stupid and they sag in weird places.

Wide-legged jeans do not look nice when tucked into them. They aren’t suited to our winters. And if the

I’m thankful for long, detailed Facebook messages sent at 3 a.m. that let me know all the cool stuff I missed because I was doing homework. Friends who send those, you are such a treasure to me.

Of course I want to read all about the attractive guys you’re partying with rather than being there myself.

Seriously, a big heartfelt thank you.

I am thankful for my family and friends. You guys are great. You put up with all my crap, and most of you have accepted that you’re going to have to continue putting up with my crap for many years to come. You make soup and chili for me to take to Regina. You use me for my iTunes account and refuse to learn how to use your own. You buy Lil Wayne’s new CD and pretend to like it. You guys are great. I love you all.

Tonaya is seriously sleep deprived and hopes that most of this week`s column is written in English.

She also would like to hear from you. E-mail her at tonaya.marr@gmail.com, or follow her on Twitter @tellemarr.

Tonaya Marr Maybe It’s Just Me Australian woman I sat with on a plane once is to be trusted, they’re worn as slippers in Australia.

Australians are laughing at us because we’re wearing their equivalent of moccasins outside in the winter weather. Ridiculous.

I’m thankful for Facebook and Twitter. Not only do they give me an endless source of things to write about, they also teach me time management skills.

For example, it’s taken me more than an hour and a half to write this column.

Thanks, social media!

I’m thankful for rain pants. They’re almost as warm as snow pants, just without the bulk. They keep my jeans nice and dry when I walk to school.

They make fun “swoosh” noises when I walk. They make people look at me funny when I wear them, but that’s only because they’re jealous and want sweet rain pants and dry legs.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2011

Should people post videos of their kids on the Internet?

He He She She

The only difference between viral YouTube videos of unsuspecting kids doing embarrassing things and America’s Funniest Home Videos is the Bob Saget segue.

Well, that and money. YouTube videos don’t make money, which is the goal of showing stupid videos of kids on national television. So which is worse, America’s or YouTube’s funniest videos?

Since the first videos of kids went viral online, people have been harping on the parents for exploiting their kids. I guess it’s exploitation when there’s no money to be made. These videos have been around since the show hosted by Saget first got going. In those cases, the parents showed off the video in order to make $10,000.

Nobody is making $10,000 from their YouTube video, so why do people bother posting these videos?

Maybe some people really do not understand what this thing called the Internet really is. There are no rules on the Internet, so people must tread lightly in this virtual space. It’s possible a parent shot a video of his paranoid seven-year-old boy paranoid after being gassed at the dentist and thought he’d like the boy’s grandparents to see it. So he posted it online.

That video of the boy screaming and asking if the environment around him is real has been viewed almost 102 million times, since it was uploaded two years ago.

The Daily Show used a clip of the boy screaming just last week, probably in a reenactment of a politician’s reaction to finding out there will be no pay increase in Congress this year.

The Internet isn’t the problem. The problem is the people who are posting these things. Those videos will exist in cyberspace for as long there is cyberspace. You can’t take down Charlie Bit My Finger. That video is up there for good.

It was a cute video, but there aren’t any boundaries anymore. We share everything. Everybody is putting their entire lives online, and that’s fine when it’s your choice. But parents are posting these videos of their kids, and maybe in five or 10 years those kids will not want those videos to be available for the rest of the world.

Parents have the responsibility of making these decisions for their children. Posting videos of embarrassing things they do at the time may seem cute, but it could become a sticky issue when the screaming boy goes to high school and the other students mock-scream in his direction. At that time, if he were to ask his parents why they posted that video, the best response the kid is going to get is that they thought it was hilarious.

They are right. It is funny for everybody except the child. Children expect a certain amount privacy within their own home, and that is all lost when that privacy is plastered on the Internet.

course.

For some reason unknown to me, people like to post videos of their children doing just about anything. Go to YouTube and search “trick or treating” and you’ll see what I mean: the search turns up hundreds of family movies of kids out on Halloween.

There’s nothing fun or cool about watching someone else get candy, so why were these videos posted?

I suspect that parents are just being proactive in creating embarrassment for their children when they hit adolescence. Instead of breaking out the photo album to show the new boyfriend their daughter’s baby pictures, parents can now just click a couple of links. That’s a frightening new power.

Seriously though, posting a shot of your baby doing something out of the ordinary might seem like a fun time, but if the video somehow goes viral, the child will be scarred for life. Can you imagine going to high school with 1,000 kids who have seen a video of you screaming before your first shower when you were three years old? Plus, we’re an age of people who spend most of our time online, so even if your baby video isn’t popular, if it exists somewhere in cyber space, there’s a chance that someone will come across it sometime. And there’s an even better chance that the person who stumbles across it is someone who hates you.

Looking at it from a different perspective, if your kid can do something crazy cool, then ya, show the world. Consider Sophia Grace and Rosie, the tutu-wearing Nicki Minaj rappers. Their video drew so much attention that the girls have been on Ellen twice, have sung with Nicki Minaj and have dozens of new and colourful wigs like their idol.

Ellen DeGeneres even dressed up as Sophia Grace for Halloween this year. Pretty cool, when you consider that last year she was Snooki’s poof.

Not saying these kids won’t be horribly scarred later in life when they see the videos of themselves tearing around the stage of the Ellen show. Fortunately they’ll have 15 minutes of fame with which to comfort themselves.

Moral of the story: consider your kids before you upload videos of them doing random things. You might think the seven minutes of your daughter crushing chocolate cake into her hair is priceless and YouTube-worthy, but I have a feeling that that same daughter, aged 16 years, isn’t going to be so impressed.

I’m pretty sure everyone has had a funny video forwarded to them at some point. Who hasn’t seen the roller-blading dog, or young Justin Bieber singing Usher in his living room? These remarkable things have been captured by others strictly for the purpose of being shared with the rest of us. And most of the time, it’s pretty harmless and the subjects in the videos aren’t risking a social meltdown as a result.

Vehicles and their drivers provide extra action for city police Vehicles and their erratic operators were the focus of attention for the Estevan Police Service (EPS) members on the nights of Nov. 2 and 3.

Police investigated a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Kensington Avenue and Fourth Street.

One driver had attempted to turn left before it was safe to do so. Two people suffered minor injuries and were transported to hospital by emergency medical staff and the driver of the turning vehicle was charged under the Traffic Safety Act. On Nov. 3, police were asked to look into a report of a suspicious vehicle being driven in the city’s south side. When the vehicle was stopped by police, two men emerged and fled the scene. They were pursued and caught resulting in two Estevan men being charged with obstruction and for being in breach of court-ordered conditions as well as theft.

The two were later released from custody, but not before

they were given a court date for later this month.

While police were dealing with the two fleeing men, they received a report of another vehicle that was travelling at a high speed in the southwest side of the city in a residential district.

The driver of that vehicle continued to evade police so a second policing unit was brought into the area as the vehicle in question headed out of the city where it was finally stopped on the west side. A 30-year-old man was charged with impaired driving and flight from police as well as dangerous driving.

He now has a December court date.

On the night of Nov. 4, a 19-year-old woman was arrested for being in breach of a conditional sentence order.After it was determined the woman had breached some conditions it was also established she had also been consuming alcohol which was another breach. She was therefore held in custody

pending her Nov. 7 court appearance.

A fight at a local lounge attracted police attention on Nov. 4. Two men, aged 23 and 29, were arrested and lodged in cells until sober and now face charges under the citys’ fighting bylaw as well as charges for being intoxicated in public.

A 31-year-old man was arrested and charged for driving while impaired and driving while his blood-alcohol level was over .08 per cent on the night of Nov. 4. He now has a Dec. 4 court date.

A male passenger in a taxi who was refusing to pay his fare was the subject of some police attention later that same night. It was noted that the passenger had also become aggressive with the taxi driver. When police contacted the taxi in the north side of the city, the matter was resolved with the passenger making arrangements with the taxi company to pay the fare.

During the day shift

on Nov. 5, EPS members charged a 19-year-old man for impaired driving and driving while over .08 following an accident at the intersection of Eighth Street and 14th Avenue early in the morning.

The crew truck the man was driving struck a power pole and became lodged.

Two six-year-olds who were reported missing returned to their home shortly before an organized search had been set up by EPS members. The boys had been visiting friends next door.

EPS members also lent service to members of the local RCMP detachment on Nov. 5 as the RCMP worked on an investigation into a break, enter and assault case on the western edge of the city.

Anoise complaint on the south side of the city drew police attention on the night of Nov. 5. A second visit to the residence later that night resulted in charges being laid under the citys’ noise bylaw.

It was also noted the resident

of the home had outstanding warrants for his arrest so he was taken into custody and released later, after receiving a Dec. 19 court date.

Another noise complaint registered that same night was resolved without further action.

A suspected intruder was the focus of police attention in the early morning hours of Nov. 6. The call came from the Trojan area of the city. A male subject was located in the basement of the residence but it was later determined that he had gained permission to be in the residence so the matter was resolved.

EPS members were called upon to make three separate visits to Spectra Place the night of Nov. 5 and early morning of Nov. 6 during a concert. One subject was escorted from the building and sent home with friends while the other two calls were prompted by the need to deal with unruly patrons who were causing

problems with assigned security officials. They had departed prior to police arrival.

Later that same night, police were called to a local lounge where two people were attempting to enter the bar after being denied entry by management. They were sent on their way once police arrived but then police were called back to the same establishment in response to a fight in progress. As a result of this visit, one man was detained and then later taken home and no further police action was required.

Police also received two separate calls regarding suspects rifling through vehicles in the north and south ends of the city. It is believed that both incidents were related since the description of the suspect matched. The matter remains under investigation and the public is again reminded to not leave any valuables in their vehicles and to lock the doors of the vehicle.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2011

The dinner table is a sacred place A few years ago, my parents made the difficult decision to leave our family farm and move into town.

We called our farm home for some 36 years. It truly was our home and so many milestones could be seen etched into walls or trees, and I’m sure stories could be heard whispering through the trees.

Once a house in town was bought, like many of you reading this, the transition began.

First in our minds, then our hearts and then the physical which was sorting and packing 36 years of life shared by six people. I thought long and hard about what it is that I wanted from the farm. What piece could I take with me that would allow me to remain close and connected to a place that saw me grow from a little four-year-old, pig-tailed girl, into a 30-something woman with children of her own?

There are many memories I would love to pack up, so many conversations to remember and a few pieces of furniture, art and small reminders of my home I would love. When it came to the furniture there was one piece that spoke to me and the one that I decided to ask for with the hopes that neither of my siblings wanted it. What was it? It was the kitchen table!

You may think the kitchen table a strange request, however you must understand

that in our house, like many of yours I’m sure, the kitchen table is the centre of so much.

For us, it was almost like the central nervous system of our home. So much had happened and still happens around that table, so many hours of conversation, whether it was the early morning coffee with the neighbours, warm winter breakfasts, or the countless dinners that have been shared or maybe it’s the late night heart to hearts. Whatever the case may be, our kitchen table has, and continues to host much laughter, some tears, always great food, many jokes and so much more.

Over the years I have learned that a kitchen table isn’t simply wood and varnish; rather it is like a giant memory box. The kitchen table is the gathering spot where life is shared, where dreams are realized, where vision is cast and where laughter can be heard.

Sadly, I see many new homes being built with no kitchen, rather preferring a nook to accommodate the odd quick meal. Some have no space for a kitchen table. This trend is seen more in our big cities and thankfully hasn’t hit our small towns and I hope it never does.

We seem to be living through the age of busy and very “I” focused. Many family meals resemble the TV dinner tray where everyone fills their plates and then evaporates into

Susan Sohn Welcome to Real Life their own space enjoying their own company or that of the computer, reality television or a texting conversation.

There is something significant about the kitchen/ dining table, it isn’t just wood and varnish crafted into pieces that take up space. As I look through history I see that through feasting and dining, cultures come together. There is strength in breaking bread together as families and as communities.

I think about the story of the Last Supper and how Jesus brought His disciples around a table to share a meal and converse. I find it fascinating that this story could have taken place anywhere and being such a significant moment, as recorded in the Bible, it all happened around a table. Through this simple story and this one act, I have to believe that there is a message to us all. Tables are sacred places. They are a place where we can come together to talk about the hard things, to relax and enjoy one another’s company, to communicate, to

eat and to simply be together.

I would like to encourage you to use your dining table to its full potential.

Through our work with the family room I have seen countless families come together simply by returning to the dining table. I have seen broken hearts mended and families begin to thrive through sharing a meal and getting back to what really matters. I find it interesting that we are designed to enjoy

food more than once a day.

We are designed to stop, sit and replenish, so why not start making this a critical part of our family schedules.

If you haven’t enjoyed a meal together at the family table for awhile, may I suggest that you dust off the table, let everyone know that dinner is at 6 p.m. and prepare a family favourite. As you do so, make sure you sit back and watch everyone enjoy one another’s company. I know you will be amazed. If you find yourself alone and without family, then I encourage you to extend yourself and invite someone to your table. If gathering at the table is something you do regularly, then please keep it up and why not invite someone over and share the time together.

Regarding my parents’ kitchen table, I am happy to report that my parents willingly gave me the old table and that beautiful table still shows the chip that I etched out one warm summer day in 1978. I know that as the years continue and as life changes, I will hear the voices of my family and friends simply by sitting at that table and allowing the richness and memories flood my mind.

Use your tables and remember to always put an extra potato in the pot or rice in the cooker and leave room to squeeze one more in just in case someone turns up at dinner time.

I’m done with bad tires When the first snow of the season fell on Sunday, the kids joyfully jumped into their ski pants and boots and headed outside.

They were so happy to play in the snow, they shovelled both the driveway and the deck, without prompting.

So while they changed their traction attire, e.g. runners for boots, I had been doing a lot of thinking about changing the traction attire on my Buick Rainier SUV. My tires were nearly bald, after three and a half years and 84,000 kilometres. With an allterrain tread pattern, they performed pretty decently for the first few years, but last winter, they could have cost me my life.

The last storm in April deposited over an inch of white ice on Highways 6 and 39 from Regina to Estevan. Again, the truck veered into the opposite lane. I stayed overnight

in Weyburn in hopes of improved conditions the next day, only to end up backwards in the opposite ditch while doing 50 km/h.

In each circumstance, the vehicle suddenly veered to the left on icy roads. I suspect the all wheel drive kicked in due to the lack of traction, and pulled me over.

This winter would be different. I would be getting studded winter tires.

Federal funds will continue flow into climate change NATIONAL WINNIPEG - A Winnipeg taxi driver delivered one more passenger than he was counting on when a pregnant woman in his vehicle gave birth.

Ranjodh Punia picked up the expectant mother Tuesday morning for a trip to the city’s St. Boniface Hospital. Punia says the woman told him she had no money and wanted to look for another way to get to the hospital.

He told her not to worry about the money and insisted she take his cab, but he had to pull over on the way and call an ambulance when the woman gave birth.

The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority says the mother and baby are fine.

*** VANCOUVER - British Columbia’s tourism minister was quick to apologize Tuesday and to rebuke a government pamphlet that warns the province’s businesses not to promote gay tourism to Canada in China.

The pamphlet was issued to B.C. tourism operators last week and is titled “How to Market your Business to China.”

Midway through the document, it says “Tourism BC will also require that any partner operator agrees to. . . prohibit the promotion of casinos, gambling and gay tourism, per the China National Tourism Administration.”

Bell said Tuesday the reference is being removed. ***

OTTAWA - The federal government is extending its funding to help the country deal with the inevitable effects of climate change.

Environment Minister Peter Kent says he’ll spend $150 million over five years, across 10 different programs.

Previous spending plans were set to expire after just two years.

The money will be spent on getting a better handle on how warmer temperatures will affect Canada’s economy, health, security and especially aboriginal communities.

‘McWin’ the new king of Canadian curling Mike McEwen has been making a mockery of the men’s world curling scene this season, but the 31-year-old Manitoban, whose trophy case is filled to overflowing, has yet to win Canada’s most cherished curling prize: The Brier. In fact, the closest McEwen has even got to the Brier has been watching it on TV. That might change this year.

In back-to-back years, McEwen and his rink of third B.J. Neufeld, second Matt Wozniak and lead Denni Neufeld suffered heartbreak in the final of the Manitoba men’s championship.

Favoured going into the final in 2010, they lost to veteran Jeff Stoughton.

Favoured again in 2011, they lost again to Stoughton, who not only went on to win the Brier in Halifax but the world championship in Regina.

So while Stoughton continued to pile up the silverware and the memories, McEwen and Co. have been settling for cash - gobs of cash. The Winnipeg-based

Bruce Penton Sports Columnist

rink won three of the first five World Curling Tour titles to start the 2011-12 season, losing in the final in one and in the quarterfinals of another. They were runaway leaders in the money race, with more than $70,000, and moved to No. 1 in the world rankings. George Karrys, in the Toronto Sun, said rivals have begun referring to the foursome as “McWin.” But no matter how many thousands of dollars McEwen and mates bank this season on the cash circuit, the season will be a failure if McEwen again fails to reach the Brier.

Since he’s ranked No. 1 in the world, he’ll undoubtedly be the No. 1 seed in the Manitoba championships in February. But that means little; he was the No. 1 seed last year until Stoughton’s

experience and a little bit of luck handed McEwen his only loss of the week - in the winner-take-all final.

Losing back-to-back finals to Stoughton hurt, and McEwen made a thoughtless comment in the immediate aftermath of his 2011 loss, saying “We still believe we’re the best chance Manitoba has to win a Brier.” Ouch! He quickly apologized to Stoughton and Co., telling Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun that “I shouldn’t have said it, and I didn’t really mean it. It was one of those things that came out.

“Hopefully, it will be our time in the future,” he said.

Judging by the team’s quick start to this season, the future is now. The Brier, with Stoughton likely in the way again, awaits.

Taking Care of Frostbite DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Many years ago, when I was still a teen, I went skiing with my older brother. He was a much better skier than I, so we went our separate ways.

Later, I saw a group huddling around one skier who looked a lot like my brother. It was my brother.

He lost one of his gloves, and he had two frostbitten fingers. His only permanent damage was the loss of a fingertip. Ever since, I have been careful about dressing warm, often with two pair of gloves in cold weather. I don’t know what to do about frostbite. Will you run the basics by me? -- S.S.

ANSWER: Frostbite happens when the temperature drops to 32 F (0 degrees C) or lower. Actually, the temperature has to be lower than 32, since the minerals in the fluids bathing the tissues lower their freezing point.

The places most susceptible are the fingers,

hands, toes, feet, nose and ears. The first sign of trouble is pain. Then the skin turns quite pale. After that, numbness sets in. People might think that nothing is wrong at this stage, but numbness is a sign that freezing is imminent. The skin and involved tissues become hard and firm.

Ice crystals form in the spaces between cells.

They pull water out of the cells and dehydrate them.

The dehydration, decreased blood flow and ice crystals all work together to cause tissue damage. One of the most destructive factors is the lack of oxygen that comes from artery constric-

tion to prevent heat loss from the rest of the body.

Fast rewarming is the treatment. It should not begin if you are in a place where there’s a chance of refreezing. Refreezing is a more destructive process than leaving things alone until you are in a place where the person can be kept warm.

The affected part should be immersed in a bath of hot water whose temperature is around 104 F (40 C). The water has to be kept warm by adding more hot water as the bath begins to cool. At no point should you rub the frozen part. If the affected area cannot be warmed in a water bath, then use hot compresses.

Rewarming is painful. Tylenol or a stronger

medicine should be given.

In 12 to 24 hours, blisters form. Do not break them.

At this point, have a doctor examine the patient for definitive care. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What can I do to improve my chipping, splitting fingernails? I was getting a weekly manicure but stopped due to economic reasons. My nails had grown stronger. Now they’ve become a disaster again. Please help. I take vitamins and calcium. -- M.H. ANSWER: Aging makes nails brittle, thin and fragile for quite a few people. Dryness fosters brittleness. After every handwashing and before going to bed, coat your nails with a moisturizer.

Petroleum jelly (the many Vaseline products) works well. When washing dishes or putting your hands in water, wear waterproof gloves. Don’t use nail polish remover often.

The B vitamin biotin toughens nails for some.

You’ll need 2.5 mg daily.

Neither calcium nor gelatin strengthens nails. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2011

Off-season moves start now for Riders recovered at the Saskatchewan 16-yard line to end the game.

And why would we expect a miracle finish in a 5-13 season that had no miracles? I suppose it’s just our prairie optimism.

Perhaps the Riders’ stretch of nine straight years in the playoffs, or Grey Cup appearances in three of the last four seasons, spoiled us and made us expect more.

But no, the party is in fact over. The question is, is this the last party for a good long time or is another one right around the corner? The only thing we know is there will be a post-season party in 2011 but the Saskatchewan Roughriders weren’t invited.

Rod Pedersen Rider Insider “Certainly when you don’t make the playoffs, there are a lot of regrets,” said Rider head coach Ken Miller, who coached his last game Friday night. “There’s nothing that feels worse than that, not being included in the chase for the Grey Cup. It’s a bitter disappointment.”

And that’s where we pick things up. Miller announced his resignation/ retirement earlier in the week and a lineup quickly

now. It was a disaster for the Riders but a boon for some other teams. Edmonton will host a playoff game for the first time since 2004 while Winnipeg finished first for the first time since 2001.

The Riders accomplished all those things over the past few years.

It’s time to miss a party for a change. Sometimes you feel a whole lot better the next morning when you do.

Using Linseed Oil to Preserve Tools

By Samantha Mazzotta Q: I’ve heard mixed information about using linseed oil to preserve tools over the winter. Do you place it on the cutting blades of garden tools, or only on the handles? Is there an alternative protectant for garden and work tools? -- John F., Providence, R.I. A: Linseed oil isn’t a good protectant for the metal parts of tools. The reason is that it creates a somewhat gummy, sticky coat that may be hard to clean off come springtime. It often is used to coat and protect wooden handles, but like most preservative products, linseed oil has its benefits and its drawbacks.

First, many people don’t know that there are two kinds of linseed oil available: raw and boiled. Raw linseed oil is extracted directly from flax seeds, with no additives of any kind. It’s straight-up linseed oil and nothing else.

From large weddings to smaller intimate affairs.

Let us look after the catering 104 Souris Ave., Estevan

The raw oil dries extremely slowly, over several weeks, and so it develops a kind of gummy or sticky texture that you may not want to experience when picking up a hammer.

Boiled linseed oil is not actually boiled. It has several ingredients added that quicken drying time and prevent mildew from setting in. If you want to coat wooden tool handles with linseed oil to preserve them, this is the product to use.

The website NaturalHandyman.com has a pretty detailed article available on various uses for raw and boiled linseed oil.

A note of caution when using linseed oil: After use, wash any rags that are soaked with the oil in soap and water immediately, or store the rags in a pail of water that is covered. Linseed oil tends to heat up as it dries (through a process called oxidation), and while that isn’t a problem for a tool handle with a light coat of boiled oil on it, it can be a problem if a pile

of oil-soaked rags are sitting in a corner of your garage drying out. For the same reason, you’ll also want to air-dry the washed-out rags rather than placing them in the clothes dryer. Spontaneous combustion is only fun in science class.

Before you get completely turned off toward linseed oil, keep in mind that safety is a priority when working with any type of solvent or chemical, and review the warnings on the back of all the products you use.

Which leads into alternatives to linseed oil. You’ll find several kinds of wood preservatives on the shelf at your home-improvement store. Pick a protectant that is specifically formulated for wooden tool handles. It needs to quickly penetrate the wood, not leave a residue on the surface and ideally provide some protection from the sun as well.

formed by those hoping to be his replacement.

It includes current Rider assistant coaches Richie Hall and Craig Dickenson and Hamilton Tiger Cats defensive co-ordinator Corey Chamblin. The Riders

would probably also like to talk to Edmonton offensive co-ordinator Marcus Crandell, but it appears unlikely the Eskimos will allow that to happen.

It’s my belief Rider general manager Brendan Taman will be retained with a year left on his contract and it will be up to him to decide who replaces Miller. It’s very early on in the process and the list of candidates will grow substantially.

As for the 2011 season, there’s no use crying about it

The party is over but the cleanup has just begun.

And it really wasn’t much of a party to begin with.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders wrapped up their season Friday night with a 23-20 last-minute loss to the Eskimos in Edmonton.

Kicker Derek Schiavone booted a 47-yard field goal with 42 seconds left to seal the win after the Riders valiantly fought back to tie it at 20-20 on the second of Chris Getzlaf’s two touchdowns.

The Riders were planning on marching down the field in the final minute, riding the arm of starting quarterback Ryan Dinwiddie. However, kick returner Tristan Jackson fumbled the kickoff and the Eskimos

Teen to play for Canada in World Cup qualifier NATIONAL QUEBEC CITY, Que. - Steve Molitor is looking for more than just a victory when he faces his one-time sparring partner Sebastien Gauthier in the ring.

The Toronto fighter wants the kind of decisive, clear-cut win that will help get him another shot at a world title.

Molitor (33-2) takes on Gauthier (21-2) in a 10-round super-bamtamweight bout on Saturday night at the Pepsi Colisee. *** TORONTO - Canada has called up Toronto FC

teenager Matt Stinson for its next two World Cup soccer qualifiers.

The 19-year-old midfielder joins 20-year-old TFC teammate Ashtone Morgan, who retains his place on the national team roster.

Canadian coach Stephen Hart has also recalled veteran midfielder Patrice Bernier for the home and away games against St. Kitts and Nevis.

The Canadians play in St. Kitts on Nov. 11 and then return home for a Nov. 15 game at Toronto’s BMO Field.

*** BURNABY, B.C. One of the largest international rugby sevens tournaments in North America is coming to Vancouver this summer.

The Vancouver International Rugby Sevens Serevi invitational will be held July 21-22.

Tournament president Douglas Okero says negotiations are currently underway with several countries and international teams.

Rugby sevens will be a sport at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

INTERNATIONAL SAO PAULO - Brazilian police have detained four fans accused of attacking a referee following the team’s controversial loss in the Brazilian league.

Police say the fans offended and physically assaulted the offi ciating crew after Corinthians’ 2-1 loss to last-place America on Sunday. The attack happened as the crew arrived at Sao Paulo’s airport on Monday.

Linesman Altemir Hausmann said he was kicked in the leg and punched in the arm by fans wearing Corinthians jerseys. Some of them were on the same flight as the referees but didn’t recognize them until later.

Police identified the men with images from the

airport’s security cameras. *** LONDON - Sir Alex Ferguson reaches 25 years in charge of Manchester United last Sunday, embarking upon his second quarter century with the same vigour that he began the first.

Ferguson’s 27 major titles with United make him the most successful manager in British football history but it is his ability to adapt and willingness to change his approach to the game that make him truly remarkable.

The 69-year-old Ferguson’s seemingly contradictory combination of iron will and tactical flexibility has led United great Bobby Charlton to call him “a genius.” *** NEW YORK, N.Y. NBA players are facing a Wednesday afternoon deadline to accept the league’s current proposal

or face a harsher one that calls for rolling back their salaries, and Commissioner David Stern said Monday “the only rational thing to do is for us to make that deal.”

“We think that there’s a great offer on the table and what we told the players is it’s getting late, the only rational thing to do is for us to make that deal because given what’s going on in our business and our industry, it’ll get worse from there,” Stern said during an interview on ESPN. That proposal calls for players to receive anywhere between 49 and 51 per cent of basketballrelated income, though players argue it would be nearly impossible for them to get anywhere above 50.2. Stern said the next one will call for a 53-47 split in the owners’ favour, along with essentially a hard salary cap. agnose?

Leaves to Treasure Memories of times and places from my childhood flood my mind this time of year, whenever I toss on a light jacket and grab a rake.

I remember jumping in piles of newly raked leaves on a Saturday morning, and the smell of burning them by the curb at day’s end. It was legal to do that then, even in the city.

I also recall sitting on the front porch with my friends, weaving colorful leaves into crowns just as we had done with dandelions and daisies the previous spring.

Years later, in a dorm at North Park University in Chicago, fall’s leaves arrived early, in a box mailed by my friend’s mom from Massachusetts. Carefully layered between sheets of waxed paper were dozens of the biggest, most brilliant red and orange maple leaves I had ever seen. We taped them to the walls, one by one, just like kindergartners decorating an elementaryschool hallway.

Leaves and the memories they evoke are treasures for many families this time of year -- even in Orlando, Fla. Amy Anderson, mom of two girls ages 2 and 8, says that leaves just keep on falling in her yard long after the snow begins to fall in states “up north.” “Sometimes it takes extra effort to motivate my family to do the constant raking, so we’ve turned the chore into a game,” she says.

“We estimate the number of bags we’ll fill with leaves in any given session. Afterward, we go out for ice cream -- bragging rights and extra sprinkles on top of a scoop go to the best estimator. A simple game not only motives the kids to help but it has become a great family tradition.”

Here are a few leaf activities you can enjoy with your kids this season, even if you don’t have a giant oak in the backyard: --After a rainfall, find a stick and use it to poke under a pile of fallen damp leaves.

Look for bugs, worms and other critters.

Leafless Tree Bears Heartfelt Wishes Biking or walking the pathways around the city lake by my house can provide more than fresh air and exercise. Yes, there are the usual runners, cute babies in strollers and smiling seniors arm in arm, but sometimes a surprise lurks around a bend, just as it did on a recent Saturday morning while jogging through crunchy leaves on the sunny side of the shoreline.

I had no sooner passed the canoe racks when I looked up and saw a bare tree weighted down visually by hundreds of red, yellow, blue, pink and green tags flickering in the gentle breeze and dangling from the lowest branches.

A closer look revealed the innermost thoughts of kids and adults who stopped for a moment to write a wish on a tag and hang it from a limb before carrying on.

Inspired by the “wishing tree,” I grabbed the pen dangling from its trunk and found myself stopped in my tracks mentally. I wasn’t sure what to write. Staring across the lake, I realized how making ONE wish is a special gesture and filled with images common to those who make them -- like that awkward pause just

before blowing out candles on a birthday cake, the thrill of tossing a coin in the Trevi Fountain, or the memory of humming Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star” while gazing into the night sky with a child.

Lost in the moment, I began reading the tags above me. They were filled with wishes for good health, the end of the war, equal rights for all, a job, a soulmate with a job, a happy marriage, a grandchild, a greyhound, more snow this winter -- and to be able to do a real push-up! Branch upon branch, wish upon wish.

The public “wishing tree” was an idea born out of freelance copy editor and mom of two preschoolers Deb Arora. “My interest was to create a unique form of community service for my young kids over a long weekend, one they would find fun and interesting. Our ultimate goal was to make people smile,” she said.

With Deb’s promise to

the local park board to remove the “wish tags” before the next rainfall, the leafless tree would bear more than 400 wishes from young and old, to inspire and to bring a dose of joy to the lives of passersby.

Deb and her family hope the “Wishing Tree” will catch on and spark new ideas with other families across the country and that others will feature similar work in public locations or right in their own front yard. Deb has developed a blog for this idea and new projects she has up her sleeve at www.hokeypokeyproject.com. *** D o n n a E r i c k s o n ’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Stamp Album Q: We have an old stamp album with specimens from the 1930s and earlier. How do we find a reputable stamp collector so the collection can be appraised? -- Sue, Guttenberg, Iowa A: First of all, I can only vouch for my honesty.

A quick check of your local Better Business Bureau should reveal how good or bad a dealer or business is.

There are at least two established stamp dealers in your region, Terry Holdridge,

Iowa Stamps and Coin, P.O. Box 77, Ankeny, IA 50021; and Jerry Koepp, 8190 Hickman Rd., Des Moines, IA 50325. If you have your stamps appraised, you should expect to pay for this service.

There are several excellent price guides available that you also might find helpful. I especially like The Official Blackbook Price Guide to U.S. Postage Stamps 2012, by Thomas E. Hudgeons Jr. (House of Collectibles, $8.99). *** Q: I have two dinner plates made by Taylor, Smith and Taylor china.

One is cracked, the other chipped. Are they worth anything? -- Doris, Orlando,

Fla. A: The value of any collectible --- whether it is a baseball card or a Barbie doll --- is determined by three major factors: condition, rarity and demand.

“Cracked” and “chipped” make your two plates unmarketable to a collector.
