featuring some of the youthful talent this area has to offer went on sale July 20 for an opening date of Aug. 18. Twenty-three individuals from the southeast have roles in the ensemble piece that’s being organized by Estevan Triple Threat Theatre, a troupe run by Arlene Lafrentz, Evanne Wilhelm and Sharlene Holiday. The group required some grant funding, which they didn’t know they would receive until May 1. Just getting the project started at that point would be too late to do the production properly this summer. “We couldn’t open auditions to everybody because we weren’t even sure if we would get approval,” said Wilhelm. “We also needed to have cast in place, should they say, ‘May 1, you’re ready to go,’ because it takes so long to put everything together.” They already knew many of the people who could do the show, because they’d dealt with them in the past, as Lafrentz and Wilhelm are both voice coaches in community. Hairspray was chosen because of the roles the musical offers, and who the directors thought would be able to fill those roles. “We wanted to have a show that had diverse roles that even if you’re not the lead character, every time

The cast of the upcoming youth-theatre production of Hairspray pose together during one of their group rehearsals. Performances at Estevan Comprehensive School are slated from Aug. 18 to 21. a new character comes on stage, they’re so dynamic in this show, that you feel like you are the centre for that moment that you have,” said Wilhelm. “We have a cast of 23, but each time (an individual) is on stage they feel like they’re the lead character. The (characters) have all got really distinct and memorable traits about them.” Lafrentz noted that the production is “iconic,” featuring music out of the 1960s with lots of doowop. Wilhelm compared it with Elvis Presley or The Supremes. The organizers hope the music will reach people young and old. Drawing from the large talent pool in Saskatchewan’s southeast, Wilhelm raved about the actors who come from outside of Estevan. She noted the top-quality shows in Lampman that produce talented performers. “If you don’t drive and go out to Lampman, you don’t know the hidden gem that that show is that they do out there,” she said, adding that putting on this musical is about showcasing the talent this region offers. Originally, the production was set to run next to the professional shows that would be featured at the Souris Valley Theatre this year, before the flooding forced a cancellation of the season. “They do professional shows with professional actors, so if we were going to do a community performance we needed something that was going to be at a high enough level that we didn’t look silly being beside the professional shows. It needed to be something that could meet that standard ... of being
professionally done,” said Wilhelm. Rehearsals for the production began immediately and are ongoing. For the first six weeks of rehearsal, each actor receives one hour each week of one-on-one rehearsal with the directors. They don’t rehearse with the other actors yet. There has been one weekend so far, when the whole group was together, then it was back to solo sessions. “In a high school setting they would get group rehearsals and the one-onone would be very small,” said Wilhelm. “And then we have blitz weekend, where Sharlene (Holiday), the choreographer, came down and we worked through four or five numbers,” said Lafrentz. On July 25, the group starts three weeks straight of rehearsals. Every night they will get together after work and perfect the performances until about 10 p.m. Those weeknights are followed by two 12hour days on Saturday and Sunday. Lafrentz and Wilhelm agree that doing solo sessions with their actors for so long has made it easier to keep everybody on the same page. “By the time you bring them together as a group they’ve all been studying, and they’ve all received the same information, so you don’t have to relearn anything there,” said Lafrentz. “You just brush up. Everybody knows how they’re supposed to do a certain line in a piece of music, so it’s much easier.” Aside from the 23 cast members, there is also a nine-piece pit band and crew, totaling about
40 people involved in the various aspects of the production. While there was a partnership for this production between the Triple Threat Theatre and Souris Valley Theatre, once Souris Valley’s season was cancelled a lot of the aspects of the production they were going to handle originally came back to the organizing team. “It’s been a big learning curve,” said Wilhelm. “But we’ve learned a lot from the Souris Valley theatre. They’ve been very helpful in passing on any knowledge that they could to us before they had to close their doors for the season. We still want to look forward in the future, to again partnering with them, hosting things down at the facility.” Whether there will be subsequent productions in the years to come, is partly based on how well this production comes together and is received by the public. “We would like to do it next year,” said Wilhelm. “This is our year to prove ourselves, to show the community how fantastic it can be. Not only that there are people to direct it and work behind the scenes to get something like that off the ground, but that the people are there to perform and do a really good job of that. Then it’s here, and if we encourage it, it will grow.” All profits raised will be going to flood relief, through donations to the Salvation Army and United Way. Tickets went on sale July 20 and can be purchased at Pharmasave. Performances are Aug. 18 to 21, with two evening shows and two matinees at ECS.

A Perfect 29
Garry Hammett, who’s been playing crib with his buddies almost every morning for the past six years was dealt a perfect hand of 29 points last week. Hammett holds up his perfect hand flanked by Bert Neumeier, left, and Calvin Schlamp.
Harry Potter causes passive-agressiveness In the last couple of weeks I’ve come across so many of my personal pet peeves that I found it only fair to share them with you. I find that the five problems outlined below are greatly affecting our society and our daily lives. The current recession, the war on terror, the New Kid on the Block/ Backstreet Boys hybrid and this 30+ weather can all be blamed on these ordinary societal problems. Well not really, but they are really getting on my nerves. 1) Purposefully misspelling words. “Mi bf is so hott,” for example. If you made it through elementary school, you should’ve been able to get this right. I think it’s actually harder to mess it up — my autocorrect fixed this twice. 2) Fake nails. I understand that some of them look nice for a little while and that for biters they can be a great way to kick the habit. But fake finger nails are stupidly expensive, they get caught in things and can hurt when they are knocked off, and in my opinion, they largely look bulky and obviously fake. Most examples I’ve seen of fingernails after the fake nails have fallen off/been ripped off look horrible and unhealthy. I’ve heard of people taking months to get their natural nails back to some sort of decency. Why bother? 3) Sharing all of your feelings on Facebook. If you have something deeply personal to say and it absolutely can’t wait, text someone who cares. Call your mom. Write a journal entry. Posting a status about your sadness over your long, lost love is depressing, annoying and kind of pathetic. Buck up and deal with it. Sharing your personal details to your 900 friends embarrasses you and whoever
you’re whining about. 4) Complaining about how awful the roads are, then being righteously ticked off when you hit a detour while they’re being repaired. I know it’s super annoying when it takes an extra five minutes to make it home to enjoy a egg salad sandwich, but it’s more annoying to have to drive into oncoming traffic to avoid disgusting potholes. However, City of Estevan, if you’re going to start repairs and close off a street for the day, maybe do more than throw some gravel down and deem it “fixed.” 5) Rebecca Black has a new song. This is easily the worst part of Youtube: fame due to being awful. I’ll admit that My Moment is better than Friday, but the fact that she only was able to release this new single because of how horribly Friday was mocked, makes My Moment both ironic and depressing. The message I gathered from the song (in one listen — I couldn’t listen to it twice) is that she can’t hear her hater’s shrieks of horrors because the dollar bills in her pockets are making too much noise. Rebecca Black got famous off of our hatred and has come back a millionaire to spite us. How sad. I certainly hope I’m not the only one who finds these issues as devastating as I do. Maybe my whining stems from my sadness induced by the end of Harry Potter. Maybe it’s heat stroke. Maybe I’m actually right and each of these problems is as annoying as I think! No, it’s definitely Harry Potter.

Things can get a little dicey when media begin mixing hard news and opinion. The Daily Show is a great news/comedy show, and as host Jon Stewart pointed out on his Comedy Central program, during his most recent appearance at the end of June on Fox News, anchor Chris Wallace admitted that Fox shows “the other side” of the story. He said it in a context that news has two political sides, and liberal media show one side, skewering stories to the left, while Fox—whose motto is “fair and balanced”—must show the right-wing side of the story. Basically he said Fox itself is not balanced. He meant his network skews stories to the right, which in turn, balances out other media outlets’ coverage, which slants everything to the left. This is pretty flawed reasoning. News sources are supposed to be unbiased when it comes to the story. Hard news is not supposed to be editorialized. I had a teacher in college, a former reporter, who said Fox News’ news coverage is pretty balanced but that their editorial is right wing, radiating a perceived bias. He may have been correct, but I think the network is now blurring the lines between what is hard news and what is editorialized, opinionated comment. I mean, Wallace outed the network completely.
Jordan Baker Thoughts From My Fingers Opinion pieces are important—this happens to be one—but their purpose is to drive conversation and get people thinking about how they look at an issue. Sometimes it’s important to open oneself to a dissenting opinion, as many people simply prefer to hear about how their beliefs are justified. For a news anchor to suggest that his network shows “the other side” of a story is a shocking thing for him to openly admit. That would be like an editorial in The Mercury saying that we only report news that sheds a good light on City council. News sources shouldn’t be trying to show things in a good light or a bad light. That same professor of mine would also say that reporters aren’t after truth, they are after facts. “Truth is determined in a court of law,” he said. “Reporters want facts.” A hard-news story is meant to present indisputable facts. It’s up to the reader to decide whether or not those facts show someone or some organization in a good
way. A news organization isn’t supposed to see news as being good or bad. It’s just news. It’s just fact. When reporting on the illegal doings of the reporters at The News of the World, a story should reveal that reporters were being encouraged by superiors to tap into phone records of various people and bribe police for information. The story shouldn’t say that the publication was wrong for doing so. The reader gets to make that decision. The story can report that arrests were made, which is a fact even though it may imply some wrongdoing, but again, the truth of the allegation is decided in the courts. These 24-hour news television networks are now mixing their news and their editorial content because TV is all about entertainment, and nobody is entertained by news. They might be interested in news, but they aren’t entertained. To keep viewers watching, these networks jump from the news story straight into a panel of analysts who then put their two cents in. That can make it difficult for the viewer to differentiate between the news and the opinion. There is a time for analysis, but it has to be separate and clear that this is no longer news, this is just somebody’s opinion.
Farmers should make CWB decision Ever since the polls closed on the recent federal election and it became clear the Conservative government had managed to gain a majority in Parliament it was clear the Canadian Wheat Board and its monopoly position to sell export bound wheat, durum and barley for Western Canadian farmers was on the hit list. It has been no secret the Stephen Harper-led Conservatives have been proponents of a marketing system where farmers will supposedly have greater marketing freedom. To achieve that freedom the Conservatives would change the CWB, stripping away its monopoly position and fundamentally change a system implemented by the Parliamentary established of the producer controlled CWB in 1935. The debate about what system is best for farmers has been one which has been debated to death, with a fair segment of farmers firmly entrenched in either the status quo camp, or the one when you also find Harper and federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. It’s a situation where both camps of course have legitimate concerns.
Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist Those wanting change suggest there is money to be made by free choice, allowing farmers to seek out specific markets through any marketing option they deem best. CWB fans reason accessing literally dozens of overseas markets is best achieved through a single desk. Most CWB fans also like the idea of pooling sale returns so all farmers share equally. These are not new positions, and the arguments have been heard repeatedly. The Conservatives want change and appear poised to use their new majority to do whatever they need to in order to get the changes done. That may include some fancy dancing in terms of legislation. There is a significant farmer voice calling for a plebiscite of farmers, letting
the users of the CWB to decide its fate. Since the CWB was created as a producer-operated board that would seem the way to go. Of course the same Conservatives did hold a farmer vote on the CWB in the past with a question so worded as to all but guarantee their position emerged that it proved a vote is only as good as the question, and that relies on the integrity of those formulating the question. With Harper and Ritz in control don’t hold your breath on a black and white question, but rather one decidedly Conservative blue. We have seen provincial governments coming down on the side of change, although why they are wading into a fray between the federal government and farmers is unclear. What they might be better off doing is rallying support for farmers to have the final say, a simple yes, or no question put to farmers which binds the federal government to its result. It is time the long-time CWB debate was put to rest, but it should be put to bed by farmers, not a heavy-handed federal government.

Collage Multicultural Festival 2010. Mercury file photo.
Collage festival will continue despite change in location The Collage Multicultural festival, which made it’s debut in Estevan last summer, will be returning this fall. The festival, which was visited by an excess of 4,000 people last spring, will be held Labour Day weekend on the Estevan Exhibition grounds and in the Exhibition hall. Collage was initially planned to be held at Woodlawn park, but the spring flooding forced the change in location. “The plan was to have Collage set up like a folk festival at Woodlawn park,” said Angela Simmons, the event consultant/ coordinator. “The flooding

Simmons said Collage will likely continue to occur on Labour Day weekend in the future, rather than in May like last year’s festival. “We understand that people are coming back into town for that weekend, and that it is a huge Rider weekend. We’ve taken all
of that into consideration and we want this to be the last big bash of summer,” said Simmons. Saturday night will feature a Caribbeanthemed cabaret, while Sunday will be all about the Rider game. “We know it’s hard to pull people away from the Rider game, so we’re offering a Rider pavilion. There will be food and bars set up, and people can come down and watch the game on big screen TVs. It’ll be one big tailgate party.” Simmons said she hopes local businesses will get into the spirit of the festival and host lead-up events. These events could

Are smart phones better than cell phones?
He She
By: Jordan Baker
Smart phones are an unnecessary, social evil. With the ubiquity of the cell phone, too many people are still catching up to cell-phone etiquette, and before they caught up, they made the jump to a smart phone, opening up a whole new can of social faux pas. Cell phones have become necessary. So much so, that landlines will be a thing of the past in a few years, existing only for businesses. I don’t know of a single friend with a landline, so cell phones are a must. Smart phones? Come on. They do what you can already do on a laptop or tablet computer, which are both relatively mobile. The only difference is that people can bring it to a restaurant or a sporting event or the cottage or any other social activity. Now in a social setting you can do very antisocial things like check your e-mail, or more likely Facebook or Twitter, watch YouTube or check the score of the game. At the cottage with the family, I’m always a little razzed when someone takes out their phone. We are there to hang out with each other, have some drinks, play some bocce or horseshoes. I am just very OK with being in ex-communication with friends. If you are spending time with somebody, I feel that they deserve your full attention. Put the phone away. Sure, cell-phone users can be just as guilty for this social sin, but the smart phone caters so much more accessibly to our short attention spans. Cell phones talk and text. Smart phones hold lots of bells and whistles, affectionately known as apps, that just add to the possibility of distraction exponentially. I recall a photo of a convertible with four young women in it. All four, including the driver had phones in hand, focused solely on what their thumbs were doing. They were probably all cell phones as this image is a few years old. In the car with your friends, talk to your friends. Cell phone users are just as guilty, but they’ve become, and will continue to be, the primary source of communication for years to come. Smart phones take the talk and text, and then allow you to bring your computer in your pocket, adding to the perceived need to use it. Maybe one day smart-phone etiquette will arrive. After all, my problem is with the people using it more than the device itself. The device just allows people to be rude in a social setting.

Clearly there are pros and cons to both smart phones and cell phones. Pro: smart phones are awesome and the way of the future. Con: cell phones are an old technology and they suck. Up until June, I had only ever had cell phones. I was blissfully unaware of the delights of smart phones and couldn’t see a reason to have the internet on my phone. My Samsung Vice was perfect for texting, durable like a brick and small and light, perfect for rolling around in my purse, car or golf bag. I knew there were cooler phones in the world, even in Sasktel, because both my sisters had Blackberrys and were constantly ranting about how awesome smart phones were and how they could send their friends images of world flags through Blackberry messenger. I dismissed this, pointing out that world flags, while neat, have no place in my text conversations. However, I like flashy things and was starting to feel a little behind the times, so I bought an iPhone 4 in June. Since then, I’ve become a walking Apple ad. I’ll tell anyone who’ll listen to me how awesome my apps are and how great it is having an iPod combined with a cellphone. And the Internet. Wow. I wake up in the morning (to Leighton Meester’s Summer Girl ringtone that I made using a ringtone-making app) and check my Facebook. Then I check Twitter and do some celeb-stalking. Sometimes I check out my bank account. Maybe read The Globe and Mail or use “What’s App” to text a friend of mine in South Africa. It’s impressive that I sometimes make it to work on time. Seriously, how did I survive without the Internet on my phone? I’ll admit that my iPhone is a lot more difficult to text with than my Samsung and the autocorrect feature has made me look like an idiot on way too many occasions. Plus, the phone is huge and kinda heavy, and I live in constant fear of dropping it and smashing the screen. I actually had a nightmare in which I drove over it with my car. So I often leave it in the car or at home when I go out, which prevents me from wrecking it and anyone from contacting me. This is a win-win when it’s past curfew and your parents are trying to call you to come home. Moral of the story, folks: smart phones are better than cell phones just because they’re cooler.

Tribute to past band teacher to be added to Estevan Five new silhouettes will soon be visible in Estevan. The Art and Life subcommittee, a part of the Estevan Beautification committee, has had steel silhouettes made as a tribute to the life of past ECS band teacher, Colin Grunert, who passed away in 2009. Grunert’s passion for music is clearly visible in the figures, made by Mike Beaudoin, a metal sculptor who has recently moved to Estevan. The project began two years ago as part of city beautification. When Grunert passed away, it seemed appropriate that the band be made a tribute to him. The silhouettes were created from photos of actual ECS band members. “They were cut in Weyburn,” said Beaudoin. “Everything was bought locally. Gail (Tytlandsvik) was kind enough to get the pictures in the band order that they were set. “It was kind of interesting since it was kids out of
high school. I had to add about 25 per cent body weight to them so they didn’t look like stick people,” he said. Beaudoin got the job after responding to an advertisement in the Estevan Mercury calling for a metal sculptor. Beaudoin learned his craft from his father. Using a plasma cutter, as well as several of his own tools, he creates intricate and detailed artwork, including everything from signs with tiny grasshoppers to benches and chairs. The oil industry in the area has been helpful with his work, he said, donating used steel for his projects. Many of Beaudoin’s projects are for charities, something he enjoys. He also enjoys getting to interact with the customers. “It’s lots of fun. You never do the same thing twice. You’re playing everyday.” His work on the band silhouettes took him about

Water problem on 39 getting some attention Construction work on Highway 39 near Macoun will begin very soon to mitigate the water problem that motorists have been experiencing for about a month. The one kilometre low level stretch of the highway will be raised approximately two feet while some drainage work will be carried out to alleviate the pressure on the road bed, said Rosann Senchuk, executive director of communications for Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure. But while there was good news pending on one part of this beleaguered roadway it was bad news further south, she said. The stretch of No. 39 leading from the United States-Canada border at North Portal into Estevan was closed as of late Monday afternoon after it was learned that the bridge
spanning the river near Roche Percee was no longer deemed safe for regular traffic. International traffic entering Canada at this port was to be re-routed to alternate entry points until the bridge is re-enforced, something that could take some time, she said. And while the work to raise and resurface Highway 39 at Macoun is underway, traffic will have to be rerouted to Highway 13 and 47, said Senchuk. That work could take up to a week to complete. “Typically the construction crews will layer the new materials in to prevent erosion and pumping water may be a part of the contracted work,” she added. The project could begin as early as this week. She said the ministry will do their best to forewarn the travelling public and commercial haulers about the more exact time for the
U-
closure and the reopening of this particular route once the tender has been awarded. At that time there will also be a budgeted cost associated with the project. She said she did not know what costs the ministry had incurred over the past month in keeping at least two flag people and other personnel at the waterlogged stretch of highway 24 hours per day to ensure the safety of the drivers and passengers in vehicles who were navigating this particular stretch of watertopped pavement. With regards to other highway work, Senchuk said Highway 47, north of Highway 361 intersection near Benson that had been inundated with water earlier this month, is now back to near normal condition following some culvert replacements and road resealing. She said additional drainage and installation of more culverts
will hopefully take care of some of the excess water in that region as well. “We expect all this work will begin within a week,” Senchuk said in conclusion.
We regret to inform our patients in Estevan and surrounding areas that due to the shortage of doctors,
The Estevan Medical Clinic will be closing its doors as of September 30, 2011.
Patients are advised to make arrangements to have their medical Àles transferred to other doctors. It has been a privilege to serve the community, and the doctors and staff of the Estevan Medical Clinic would like to thank the community and health care professionals for their support.

Calvillo gets better with age Age usually takes a toll on an athlete. It’s rare that like fine wine, an athlete’s performance improves with age. So how does one explain Anthony Calvillo? Sure, the California native is surrounded by a great supporting cast with the Montreal Alouettes, but in a brutal sport such as professional football, most quarterbacks accumulate a variety of bumps and bruises and lose the zip on their throws as they approach 40 years of age. That lack of zip results in passes falling short or more of them getting picked off. So how does one explain the performance of Calvillo, the native of California who is in his 18th season in the Canadian Football League? Through the first three weeks of the 2011 season, Calvillo has been on fire, throwing 10 touchdown passes and leading the Als to a 3-0 record. Along the way, the 38-year-old Calvillo, a three-time winner of the CFL’s most outstanding player award, surpassed Damon Allen’s record for most career touchdown passes. Before he’s finished, he may set the TD-pass bar so high it may be unbreakable. “Never in my life,” Als slotback S.J. Green told Sean Gordon of the Globe and Mail, “have I seen anything like him. He’s amazing.” A finely-tuned athlete can occasionally defy the odds and perform at a high level longer than most, but how can one call Calvillo finely-turned? He underwent thyroid cancer surgery in the most recent off-season, a situation that would send almost all 38-year-olds to retirement, but for Calvillo, all he did after surgery was shrug his shoulders and give his coaches a ‘let’s-get-back-at-it’ approach. “A lot of athletes can be great one day and not so great the next,” offensive lineman Scott Flory, who has played with Calvillo for 13 years, told Gordon. “To have that level of consistency is the true mark of greatness, in my opinion.” Calvillo has been through his wife’s cancer scare, a cancer scare of his own, and now the only ‘scare’ involved in his life is the look on the faces of CFL defensive backs when he drops back into the pocket to make more history. He has won three Grey Cup games (but lost five) and says he wants to achieve at least a .500 record in grey Cups before he retires. History suggests to never count him out. • Comedy writer Jerry Perisho: “Pyeongchang, South

Candle light dinner for five Wednesday night at our house was a normal summer night. The kids had spent the day enjoying popsicles, water gun fights, lazy moments in the hammock and simply bathing in the uncomplicated life of a child. Our deck doors were flung wide open, the music was playing and summer was truly in full swing. Dinner was on the go, the BBQ was on and I was putting the finishing touches on a new salad I had concocted. Life felt great, it was full of fun, laughter and the richness of family. For those of you, who have either read my articles or listened to my radio show, you know that I am passionate about families gathering around the kitchen/dining table and eating together. Most nights we make this happen, simply because we have made the choice to juggle and arrange our after school activities and summer fun around our meals. By doing this we allow ourselves good quality time together every day throughout the year. We’ve made the choice (in our home) to not hyper-schedule our kids or our family for that matter. Meals together take priority, as we believe it is the one time of the day when we, as a family, come together and calm down. We discuss the day, talk about the great things, the challenges, the fun, the not so fun and everything in between. Meal times are precious and protected. Tonight, I decided that I would add a few touches to the table. As the BBQ sizzled away I quickly grabbed a table cloth, some candles and began to set the table in a special way, incorporating that summer feeling. It was easy to do and I knew the impact on the family would be rewarding. Dinner was nice. It was a simple Greek chicken recipe complete with veggies and my new salad. It wasn’t anything flashy but with the few additions to the table the meal became something more. I marvelled at what happened at our table through the conversation and the laughter. I was once again reminded about the importance of coming together around the dining table. So much is taught and caught while sitting together and eating. Tonight at our table memories were made. Philip and I laughed with the kids, corrected them at times and quietly reminded them, simply by example, how to use their napkins,
place their forks and in one case even how to chew. These moments can’t be forgotten or over looked in our busy lives. Crazy things can and do happen at a dinner table when three hungry and excited kids plus parents gather. Here are just a few from our dinner tonight: 1) We discovered that veggies do fly out of mouths when laughing at a big brother while he’s making a funny voice and trying to chew at the same time. 2) Salad end up in a glass of milk that requires a helping hand to fish it out. Then of course, reassurance that the milk is not contaminated and that it does not need replacing is required for a tired six-year-old. 3) A few tears are shed when food gets caught between the wires of braces and the frustration of seemingly endless orthodontist visits is expressed by a 13-yearold. Although these tears quickly turn to fits of laughter when someone at the table cracks yet another joke. 4) Napkins fall to the ground, sauce is spilled on the table cloth and the candles serve as temptation as little hands gravitate towards the burning wax and the flickering flame. Grammar is corrected without them realizing, consideration and prayers for the child at school who’s struggling are shared. All of this and so much more happens when families come together, calm down and turn off all of the outside sound bites. This is just a glimpse of the richness we as a family carve out for ourselves every night. In these times, we learn from our children and our children learn from us. The dining table is where conversation flows freely and where joy and laughter walk hand-in-hand. Can I encourage you to clear off the table, set it with a little flare, cook a simple meal and invite your family to the table? You won’t regret it. Summer is the perfect time to dine alfresco and enjoy the long evenings that turn into fire pit nights and star gazing opportunities. Try not to miss them ... just remember to keep our Saskatchewan summer scent at the ready. What am I referring to? Off, Deet ... whatever your preference.

The 2011 CFL season has gotten off to a disastrous, and unexpected, start for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. And of their three consecutive losses to open the campaign, their most recent defeat is by far the worst. In a battle of 0-2 teams at Hamilton’s Ivor Wynne Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Riders failed to show up. The Tiger-Cats built up a 23-0 halftime lead and went on to wax the Roughriders 33-3 sending the club to an 0-3 start. It was the first time the Riders had been shutout in a half of football since, coincidentally, October of 2009 in Hamilton. The question was asked before the game if the Riders lose, are they a bad football team? It may be too early to hang that label on them but they certainly played badly in Week 3. Quite frankly it liked like a horrific re-run of the dreadful 3-15 season of 1999. Dropped passes, missed tackles and bad penalties all ganged up to doom the team from the start. The Riders committed six turnovers on the day including three interceptions thrown by Darian Durant before he was relieved by backup Ryan Dinwiddie. The reason I’m hesitant to characterize this team as “bad” is because there’s more talent here than the record indicates. However the scrappy, never-say-die, fight tooth-and-nail up and down the field nature of the Saskatchewan Roughriders is gone. Kaput. So how do they get it back? That’s the task facing first-year head coach Greg Marshall as the current hole they’re in keeps getting deeper. “I’m not a Knute Rockne speech kind of guy,” Marshall said after the game. “If these guys need a pre-game speech from
Rod Pedersen Rider Insider me to get them ready to play, they’re mistaken.” That was the hallmark of Marshall’s predecessor Ken Miller. He wasn’t big on details but his pre-game addresses to the team had them frothing at the mouth and ready to run through a wall. No, Marshall’s approach is far different and apparently it’s taking longer than expected for the club to adjust. Fans may not yet be howling for Marshall’s head (no, they’re saving that for coordinators Richie Hall and Doug Berry), but many are predicting a coaching change before Labour Day weekend if this horrid display continues. However the much-decorated career assistant has enough supporters whom are patient enough to let this team find its identity. “Greg Marshall is not our problem,” stated Rider GM Brendan Taman just before the Hamilton game and it’s doubtful his chance has changed since. Nope, there is no quick fix to what ails this franchise right now and everyone’s in it for the long haul, for better or for worse. But how do you get a team to care? I’ve never seen a handbook on that topic and it’s not included in a playbook either. Right now that’s the most pressing issue facing the coach of the Riders. I’m glad it’s not me. (Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM)

Record broken as cyclist conquers Canada NATIONAL HALIFAX - Nine days into Arvid Loewen’s gruelling bike ride, his legs were filling with fluid and his shot at setting a time record seemed in jeopardy. But after taking an 18-hour break to recover, the 54-year-old grandfather of three from Winnipeg climbed back on the saddle to set an unofficial record for the quickest bicycle trek across mainland Canada. Loewen pulled off a 40-hour closing stint without sleep to finish the Vancouver-to-Halifax journey in 13 days, six hours and 13 minutes —

smashed windows and looted stores following the Canucks’ loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup final on June 15. The commission hopes to raise $150,000 through the Vancouver Board of Trade, Telus, VanCity credit union, a local tattoo parlour and a T-shirt shop, and spokesman Jeff McDonald said the agency is on target to meet that goal. Businesses can apply for grants of up to $7,000 to cover damages not covered by insurance. So far, the fund has received nine applications, but McDonald said he expects more to arrive soon. The agency estimated about 55 businesses were affected. INTERNATIONAL KIEV, Ukraine - A two-headed snake has gone on display at a zoo in southern Ukraine. The “Skazka” (Fairy tale) zoo in the Crimean city of Yalta on the Black Sea said Wednesday that the albino California Kingsnake has two heads that think, react and eat separately, though one
is more passive than the other. Dmytro Tkachov, a zoo worker taking care of the snake, said he puts a barrier between the heads when feeding the snake lest one eats the other. The snake will be on display at the zoo until mid-September. The zoo would not provide further details. *** LONDON - Rupert Murdoch’s car was mobbed by photographers Tuesday as he arrived for a grilling from U.K. lawmakers about the phone hacking scandal that has swept from his media empire through the London police and even to the prime minister’s office. Murdoch, his son James and the media mogul’s former U.K. newspaper chief, Rebekah Brooks, were all to be questioned at the hotly anticipated hearing. The elder Murdoch’s Range Rover was surrounded as he arrived at the Houses of Parliament three hours early, and it quickly drove off. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had come back and gone through another
entrance. Politicians will be seeking more details about the scale of criminality at Murdoch’s News of the World tabloid, while the Murdochs will try to avoid incriminating themselves or doing more harm to their business without misleading Parliament, which is a crime. *** NEW YORK, N.Y. - A Columbia University student has admitted selling cocaine as part of what authorities called a major takedown of drug dealing on the Ivy League campus in New York City. Harrison David pleaded guilty Tuesday to a drug sale charge. He’s expected to get six months in jail and five years’ probation at an Aug. 30 sentencing. He acknowledged selling cocaine to an undercover officer. The engineering major faced the most serious charges among five students arrested in the case. The rest have pleaded not guilty. They are asking to get drug-abuse treatment under a program that could get the charges dismissed if they succeed.

Provincial SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. - Former Hamilton Ticats player Jordan Matechuk has pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana following his May 31 arrest at the U.S.-Canada border. The steroid count is a felony with a maximum sentence of two years, and the marijuana count is a misdemeanour with a oneyear maximum. Prosecutor Brian Peppler says he’s not sure when Matechuk will be sentenced, but as far as he’s concerned, the case is now closed. The Tiger-Cats released the Yorkton, Sask., native on June 8, a day after U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced his arrest at the International Bridge border crossing. According to a statement released by American customs officials at the time, officers seized a total of 543 anabolic steroid pills, 262 millilitres of anabolic steroids in liquid form, 1.25 grams of marijuana, 19 syringes and 51 replacement needles after an inspection. Officials said Matechuk told an officer he was travelling to Hamilton from Alberta. National VANCOUVER - It took a late goal from Shaun Wright-Phillips to give one of the top teams in the English Premier League a win over the last-place team in Major League Soccer. With the temporary grass surface at Empire Field pock-marked with divots, Wright-Phillips unleashed a 30-yard rocket in the 87th minute to give Manchester City a 2-1 win over the struggling Vancouver Whitecaps in an exhibition match Monday. The goal salvaged a result for Champions League-bound Man City after the Whitecaps, who operate under an MLS salary cap of $2.6 million a year, held their own for much of the match against a team that has spent about $1 billion on players over the last three years. *** DETROIT - Chris Osgood has played his last game for the Detroit Red Wings. The 38-year-old announced his retirement from the NHL on Tuesday and will stay on with Detroit as a consultant for the
team’s young goaltenders. Osgood amassed impressive numbers during his 16-year career, winning 401 regular-season games and another 74 in the playoffs while helping the Red Wings claim three Stanley Cups. He was limited to just 11 appearances last season while being hampered by groin problems. The native of Peace River, Alta., also spent time with St. Louis and the New York Islanders during his NHL career, but his best years came with the Red Wings. *** TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays are giving Roberto Alomar their highest honour. The club says it will retire the former second baseman’s No. 12 at a ceremony before the team’s July 31 home game with the Texas Rangers. It will be the first time the Blue Jays have retired a number worn by one of the team’s players in the club’s 35-year history. Jackie Robinson’s number 42 was retired by Major League Baseball in 1997. Team president and CEO Paul Beeston says Alomar is “arguably the best second baseman of all time.” Alomar and former Blue Jays general manager Pat Gillick will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 24. International HELSINKI - A Singapore man was sentenced to two years in prison on Tuesday for bribing players in the Finnish football league as part of an international match-fixing scam. The verdict against Wilson Raj Perumal in the Lapland District court, near the Arctic Circle, highlighted the global reach of billion-dollar betting scams that have rocked the sport this year. The court said Perumal netted about 150,000 euros ($210,000) for fixing results in Finnish league matches from 2008-11. He is also suspected by world governing body FIFA of fixing international games involving African and Asian national teams. Perumal, who was arrested in February after having entered Finland with a fake passport, was also convicted of forgery
and for trying to flee from officials guarding him. *** SHANGHAI - Yao Ming should make it official on Wednesday, announcing what is widely expected to be his retirement from the NBA and a sport that made him a household name in China. The seven-foot-six centre for the Houston Rockets played for eight seasons in the NBA, but has missed 250 regular-season games over the past six years. His career, including frequent appearances for the Chinese national team at Olympics and world championships, has been punctuated by leg and foot injuries. On Wednesday, a large reception hall at a hotel in the Pudong section of Shanghai — Yao’s hometown — has been booked for what will likely be the country’s media event of the year. Hundreds of media have been accredited to attend the restricted event and are expected to arrive hours early to go through security checks. *** DETROIT - Two experienced sailors, including the skipper, died after their boat capsized during the annual Chicago-toMackinac race, competition organizers confirmed Monday, hours after six other crew members were pulled to safety by a rival team. A Charlevoix County dive team recovered skipper Mark Morley, 51, and Suzanne Bickel, 40, about eight hours after authorities received word that their boat, WingNuts, had capsized, the Coast Guard said. The Chicago Yacht Club, which organizes the Race to Mackinac, said in a statement that Morley and Bickel, who were both from Saginaw, were race veterans. Morley had participated in six ChicagoMackinac races and Bickel had taken part in two. Officials said a severe thunderstorm with strong wind gusts was moving through the area when the boat capsized early Monday near the Fox Islands west of Charlevoix, which is across Lake Michigan and about 270 miles from Navy Pier in Chicago. Air and water temperatures early Monday were in the low 70s, with 4- to 6-foot waves.

Tips to Recycle the Garage-Sale Way Planning and running a family garage sale can be more than a moneymaking venture for you and your kids. Dollars might be an incentive for parting with outgrown toys, books and clothes, but your kids also will be reaping the benefits of hands-on experience in marketing, merchandising and sales. Here are some tips to recycle and turn your castoffs to treasures the garage-sale way: Get Ready: --Set aside time before the sale to help your kids clear the clutter and sort through books, toys, DVDs and clothes. Wash items that are soiled, and put jackets, shirts and blouses on hangers to show off the merchandise. People don’t like to dig in piles of stuff. If a toy has small parts, corral the pieces, put them in a small bag and tape the bag
to the toy. --Put price stickers on items and price to sell. --Although you might advertise the sale in the newspaper and on websites like craigslist, your kids can make their own fliers to distribute to neighbors to publicize the items they are selling. Eye-Catchers: --Make your sale “an experience” with small touches. Cover tables with bright fabric, hang a mirror near clothing and hats, and play music on a DVD player. If your garden is in full bloom, fill jars with flowers and sell by the stem. --Draw in shoppers with a big poster with “Extraordinary Kids Stuff” printed in large letters in the kids’ department. --Set out a table or box of “free stuff.” You’ll be surprised to see what people will take for free! --By far, snacks are a super draw. Sell coffee and cold beverages. And who can refuse buying a cookie or sweet roll while strolling around your sale? Selling: --Find a cash box and be sure someone is always in charge of it throughout
the day. --Be prepared to bargain, especially for bikes, scooters and skates. --At the end of the sale, gather leftover items in good condition, remove the stickers and donate to a nonprofit organization. Extra Idea: One of a few favorite tips posted on my Donna’s Day Facebook page included setting up a “Man’s Table” filled with tools and gadgets and placed strategically by the street. The successful idea came from the time the writer’s husband dug through his shed and set out boxes of miscellaneous stuff at $1 per box. “Men are happy to stay longer and don’t bother their female partners while they are shopping,” she wrote. Plus, “It also got rid of lots of clutter from the shed!” *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Cocktail Watch Q: I have an Ernest Borel wristwatch with a spiral design movement. It is from the 1940s or earlier. Is it worth anything as far as selling it is concerned? -- Ellen, Sun City, Ariz. A: The Ernest Borel watch company was founded in 1859. Some of the more interesting watches manufactured by Borel were the work of Adamir Debrot, a designer who was responsible for many of its innovative technical solutions and original time pieces throughout the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. I suspect that the watch you have is one of Debrot’s designs. I also think the watch you have is what was marketed as a “Cocktail Watch,” which featured a kaleidoscope dial. That particular dial featured five different patterns, namely flower, sun, arrows, star and wheel. The “Cocktail” was launched in 1953 and soon became one of the most popular designs marketed by the Ernest Borel company. As with most collections, the value of a vintage watch depends on three major factors: rarity, condition and desirability. I contacted several dealers who specialize in vintage watches, and they seem to agree that your watch would retail in the $150 to $350 range. *** Q: I have a player piano roll cabinet that has been in my family home for more than half a century. How much do you think it’s worth? -- Mar-
tha, Ephrata, Pa. A:Your question is much like asking how much a car is worth. If it is a 1985 Yugo, not so much. On the other hand, if it is a 1934 Packard Roadster, break out the champagne and celebrate your good fortune. Incidentally, the running joke about the Yugo went something like this: Why does a Yugo have a defroster on the rear window? To keep your hands warm while you push it. Getting back to your question, what is the condition of your cabinet? Is it made of cherry, oak or mahogany? What is its size, and does it have an interesting design? Most player piano cabinets seem to sell in the $75 to $150 range. *** Q: I have a collection of die-cast cars and would like to know current values. -- Daniel, New Holland, Pa. A: There is an excellent website that lists dealers, values and other pertinent information. The site is www. diecast-search.com. Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox is unable to personally answer all reader questions.

By Samantha Weaver • It was 20th-century U.S. Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice Robert H.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2011
Beautiful Blackberries Blackberries are one of the great gifts of summer. The berries bloom from mid- to late June, and in most parts of the county, start ripening toward the middle of July. Ripe and unripe blackberries frequently appear on the plants at the same time. The berries are small, green, hard and sour at first, becoming larger, juicier and sweeter as they ripen. Here are some great blackberry facts, tips and a recipe to help you with your summer berry picking and eating! Blackberry Facts: • Select plump, firm and fully black berries. Unripe berries will not ripen once picked. • Do the math and be careful not to overpurchase, as blackberries quickly mold when left at room temperature and only last a few days in the refrigerator. • You easily can freeze berries that you can’t use right away -- just wash, cut the hulls off and spread the berries out on a baking pan. Place the berries in the freezer. When frozen, place them into a re-sealable bag, pressing out as much air as possible, and then freeze the berries. • The U.S. Department of Agriculture says 1 cup of blackberries has about 62 calories. • A cup of blackberries, not packed down, weighs almost one-third of a pound. • Blackberries were enjoyed by the ancient Greeks, who believed them to be a cure for diseases of the mouth and throat, as well as a preventative against many ailments, including gout. • The blackberry leaf also was used as an early hair dye, having been recommended by Nicholas Culpeper, the 17th-century English herbalist, to be boiled in a lye solution in order to “maketh the hair black.” • Blackberry tea was said to be a cure for dysentery during the Civil War. During outbreaks of dysentery, temporary truces were declared to allow both Union and Confederate soldiers to “go blackberrying” to forage for blackberries to ward off the disease. • Researchers have known for quite some time that berries contain antioxidants, which help to fight cancer-causing free radicals. A study at the University of Ohio has
found that blackberries are the most potent cancer fighting berries of them all, by nearly 40 percent! • This delicious Blackberry, Pecan and Goat Cheese Salad showcases the sweetness of the berry while providing the crunch and smoothness of the pecans and goat cheese. It’s the perfect summer salad! B L A C K B E R R Y, HONEY PECAN AND GOAT-CHEESE SALAD This salad beautifully showcases the best blackberries of the season. It’s also a refreshing accompaniment to grilled or spicy barbeque dishes. 1/4 cup pecan pieces 1 1/2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon Dijonstyle mustard 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 package (6 ounces) salad greens 2 packages (4 to 5 ounces each) fresh blackberries, washed and drained 1 large avocado, diced 3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese 2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice 1. In a small, non-stick skillet, add the pecans and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of the honey. Stir and saute until the nuts are lightly browned and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Cool and set aside. 2. In small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey, garlic, mustard, salt and the black and cayenne pepper. Set aside. 3. In salad bowl, toss together salad greens, blackberries and pecans. Add the avocado and goat cheese on top. Sprinkle with the lemon or lime juice. Pour on dressing and toss gently. Serve immediately. Serves 4. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is known as The Kitchen Diva! She’s the executive producer and host of “The Kitchen Diva!” cooking show on Hulu.com.
