THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2013 Page 3

Fundraising for the Woodlawn Regional Park continues to fi lter in gener-ously as 2013 looks to be a year where things will take a big step closer to normal.

The RM of Estevan has a three-phase plan for rebuilding the park and has raised enough funding to get through Phase 1 and move on to the next stage. A dona-tion from the Richardson Pioneer Foundation was warmly received on Feb. 6 at the RM of Estevan offi ce. The $24,000 donation will go toward work on the Doug Third Hall kitchen.

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

Woodlawn is undergo-ing some big changes since the 2011 fl ooding wiped large sections of the park away as it was absorbed by the Souris River.

“The other thing we have going on for fundraising is the athletic park with all the sporting facilities that we have there. That’s going very well,” said Puffalt.

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

“We have enough to get Phase 1 completed, so we’re now moving into Phase 2,” added Puffalt.

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

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

be directed at the athletic park. “With regards to the

donation from Richardson for the Doug Third Hall, we’re just waiting for paint on the walls and then we’ll fi nish off all the fi nal touches,” said Puffalt.

“For the rest of the park, this spring is going to be a hectic one. We’re going to be putting in 100 new sites, which will be replacing the ones that were down there before.”

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

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

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

Puffalt said the top pri-orities for them come the spring are to get the front entrances at Woodlawn and Boundary finished, along with the gatehouses.

“Second is to build the

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

The money to complete that work has come in from the Provincial Disaster As-sistance Program (PDAP).

“Obviously with insur-ance, it’s always less than you expected and less than you need, so it’s going to be a tight race, but it should be coming in on track.”

Puffalt is excited to bring Beach Bash back to the Boundary Dam beach area on Aug. 10.

“This time around we want to improve on the experience,” said Puffalt, of-fering ideas like more bands performing for the festival.

The Collage festival is also planned to run again in Woodlawn, after the South-east Newcomer Services decided to take over the event.

“Last year was defi nitely one of those trying years, but it was exciting to push through and get the plan in place with everything ready to go for this season. It’s going to be an exciting one again with the return of the Beach Bash and a grand opening celebration.”

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

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: Will you please provide the pros and cons of using salt in the diet? Why is water retention considered so bad? I am an 81-year-old man with stents in fi ve heart arteries and one in the left carotid artery. My blood pressure is controlled with one medicine. -- E.W.

ANSWER: What makes salt (sodium, sodium chloride) a danger to health is its ten-dency to raise blood pressure. We need only 500 mg of salt a day, yet we take in more than fi ve times that amount. Salt’s contribution to the elevation of blood pressure is something that people can alter without

resorting to medicines. Salt does contribute to fl uid reten-tion. That extra fl uid fi nds its way into the circulation, and blood pressure rises. That’s the condensed version of the salt story. High blood pres-sure promotes heart attacks and strokes.

The booklet on high blood pressure explains why it is so important to lower elevated pressure and how to go about doing that. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 104W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

***DEAR DR. DONO-

HUE: Dairy products are a problem for me. For breakfast, 1 percent milk is fi ne and yo-gurt isn’t troublesome. Other dairy foods bother me. I am 61

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

ANSWER: Lactase is an enzyme found in the small in-testine. It digests lactose, milk sugar. Infants of all animal species are born with a good supply of the lactase enzyme. They lose their supply of lactase at the time they are weaned from their mother’s milk. Most humans hold onto an adequate supply of lactase into adult life.

Some, however, have so little that they fi nd dairy products impossible to digest. Dairy products bloat these people, give them stomach cramps and can bring on diar-rhea. That’s lactase defi ciency or lactose intolerance. Both terms denote the same prob-lem. The lactase defi ciency is an ethnic trait. Blacks, Asian-Americans and Native Americans have less lactase in adulthood than do whites.

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

Cheeses and yogurt are exceptions to the rule. Many lactase-defi cient people toler-ate them well.

You can overcome the lactase defi ciency problem by avoiding dairy products, by taking the lactase enzyme in pill form before eating dairy products or by using dairy products that have been pretreated with the enzyme.

that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

The Winter Olympic countdown is on, and right on schedule we learn that the Sochi Games are over budget.

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

I am a supporter of the Olympics. I know it’s less idyllic and more political than they try to let on, but I still think it’s an important global event and healthy for nations to compete together in a peaceful manner. It’s a great way for people around the world to connect, as they travel to host countries and interact. We don’t always mix well together, but generally it’s an important way for us to come together every couple of years in celebration of the best our countries offer.

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

leave it up to the Russians to pass it off like the word restraint simply doesn’t translate into their language.

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

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

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

Pumping that much money into an

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

I generally think that people who fi nd sports, all sports, a ridiculous waste of time are bitter, unco-ordinated people. That doesn’t mean there can’t be legiti-mate arguments against what lengths we go to in order to compete.

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

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

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

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

Russia hits new benchmark in overspending

Regular readers will know that I have an interest in trying to look ahead and fathom how this world is going to feed itself on fi nite land resources and a population seemingly incapable of slowing its ever burgeoning growth.

So it was with defi nite interest to me when, last December, the Global Insti-tute for Food Security at the University of Saskatchewan was launched by the Saskatchewan government.

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

The funding mix, with initial com-mitments of up to C$35 million from PotashCorp and C$15 million from the province over the next seven years, should give the institute a solid re-source base on which to start its efforts. That said, the provincial share, which amounts to a couple of bucks per person per year in the province, is perhaps not as large as we should expect. But it is a start, and that is the important thing.

“The institute will apply Saskatch-ewan’s unique resources, innovation and expertise to address the increas-ing global demand for safe, reliable

food,” read a release at the time of the launching.

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

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

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

It’s the same thing we have seen farmers accomplish in terms of pro-duction.

Producers have been quick to pick up on advancements in farming tech-niques, whether it is zero-till alterna-tives, the move from common rapeseed

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

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

In announcing the launch, Sas-katchewan Premier Brad Wall said it well.

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

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

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

The best thing about singlehood on Val-entine’s Day is that it’s just another day when you have no special someone to share it with.

Turning Valentine’s Day into simply Feb. 14, the day between Feb. 13 and 15, can be very liberating. It’s like how I forgot Groundhog Day happened this year until two days after.

The unattached Valentine’s Day can be something of a relief for people who enjoy their independence. It makes for a day when

nobody expects anything from you, so you can go about your business as the women in the offi ce get distracted by the bouquets fi ltering through the front door.

Valentine’s Day can also be a big fi nancial commitment, when compared to any other regular day. A night out with some fi ne wine may not be very budget conscious. A sexy telegram to your signifi cant other could run a few hundred dollars, though the reaction might be worth it. Everybody has a price they are willing to pay, or must pay, to make Feb. 14 a special one for their partner — everyone except single people.

As someone who has experienced a few single Valentine’s Days, it’s great just to not have to worry about it. Maybe I’m selfi sh, which is probably true, but it’s refreshing to go through a Feb. 14 without having to concern yourself with things going a particular way. As the only person with nothing riding on the day, you’ll never let yourself down.

Special days are nice sometimes, but because of the stress that they can bring into everyone’s lives, sometimes it’s nice to have another normal day.

—Jordan Baker

Being single on Valentine’s Day is often something people dread and fear. Girls joke among their friends that they’re going to spend the night locked in their house with a self-purchased box of chocolates and cry while watching The Vampire Diaries. Guys ... well, I can’t imagine single guys treat V-Day much differently from how they treat every other weekday. Guys probably play video games, watch a hockey game, go to the gym and post selfi es on Instagram.

You single people have a pretty great situation on your hands.As a single person on Feb. 14, you have a world of possibilities. You can do anything.

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

I think the number one thing about being single on Valentine’s Day is the freedom. Sure, you don’t necessarily have a special someone to hang out with all night. But you defi nitely can call the girls and complain about how much boys suck while eating individual litres of ice cream. You can wear sweatpants and heals and vacuum your living room, for all anyone will know. Or, if you’re really lonely, you can have a couple of drinks and make out with the fi rst attractive person who passes you at the bar. The world is your heart-covered oyster!

So defi nitely don’t sulk if you’re single at this time of year. It’s better than dating a jerk with a crazy ex, or anyone who makes you unhappy. Celebrate how you are independent and awesome, and you can buy your own damn chocolate. You could even buy in on Feb. 15, if you wanted, because it’s cheaper.

— Tonaya Marr

What are the best things about being single on Valentine’s Day?

RecycleThis

Paper

When the older kids are off to school, whip up a batch of easy-to-prepare play clay for your pre-schoolers. It’s an inexpen-sive, time-tested homemade recipe you’ll want to try, especially on a rainy or snowy day when kids are cooped-up indoors.

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

Once you’ve made a batch or two in different col-ors, your preschoolers and their friends will be eager to get their hands in the soft, fun-to-handle concoction.

When playtime is over, store in decorated recycled tins.

Here’s the stuff:1 cup white fl our1/2 cup salt1 cup water1 tablespoon cream

of tartar2 tablespoons cook-

ing oilSeveral drops of food

coloring

Here’s the fun:1. An adult should

combine all ingredients in

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

2. Knead the warm

dough on a fl oured sur-face with your child until smooth.

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

Passwords have be-come such an important part of our daily lives that I can’t imagine not having to sign in or unlock the things I want to use.

When I wake up, I unlock my cellphone to turn off my alarm. I use a password to sign into my laptop. I sign into my e-mail. I log onto my school profi le or my work profi le every single day. If I want to check my funds, I sign into my back account. If I’m paying with my debit card, I enter in my PIN.

That could be a lot of passwords, but I’m betting that a lot of us use the same password for multiple ac-counts. When I require a

password, I try to think up something that’s original, clever and hard to guess. This can, of course, lead to severe awkwardness if I ever have to share my password with someone.

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

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

my password so he could sign into my profi le and send the unedited stuff to the national news desk be-cause they were interested in the story. This wouldn’t have been a problem if my password wasn’t super embarrassing.

My old password was the name of a friend I’ve had since elementary

school, Brandon Smith. Brandon used to sign into my Facebook account so he could play Facebook games. And it was fi ne with me, until he started messing with my account settings and stuff. Eventu-ally I had to kick him off and I changed my password to his name so he’d never think to use it.

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

The moral of the story is to always make sure your work passwords aren’t super embarrassing. Big-

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

Tonaya Marr doesn’t used brandonsmith as her Facebook password any-more. Don’t bother trying to log into her account. You can reach Tonaya by e-mail at [email protected] or on Twitter @TonayaMarr.

ProvincialREGINA - The Sas-

katchewan government says a new agency will help support the fi lm industry after cuts last year.

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

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

A $1-million transi-tion fund is to back projects until Creative Saskatch-ewan is launched later this year.

The province faced much hue and cry when it

cut a fi lm employment tax credit in the budget last March.

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

NationalGATINEAU, Que. -

The CRTC is being urged to roll out its proposed wireless code in stages.

Rogers Communica-tions told a Canadian Radio-television and Tele-communication Commis-sion hearing that while some of the proposed changes can be made swiftly, others could take

as long as a year and a half.The CRTC has sug-

gested all changes could be made in six months.

“There is no reason why at least some of the recommendations could not be implemented in the short term,” said Ken Engelhart, the company’s head of regulations.

“Those changes re-quiring more signifi cant work can then be allotted additional time.”

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

Much of the testimony so far has focused on the

length of cellphone con-tracts, locked devices and roaming and cancellation fees.

***EDMONTON - Sev-

eral top scientists say it might be time to start thinking about setting out food for some polar bear populations.

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

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

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

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

Derocher says the

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

InternationalPYONGYANG, North

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

North Korea made clear that the explosion of its third atomic device — which it claimed was smaller than the ones in its previous two tests — was a warning to what it considers a hostile United States. Its actions drew immediate condemnation from Washington, the U.N. and others. Even its only major ally, China, voiced opposition.

“The test was conduct-ed in a safe and perfect way on a high level, with the use of a smaller and light A-bomb, unlike the previ-ous ones, yet with great

explosive power,” North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said.

It was a defi ant re-sponse to U.N. orders to shut down atomic activity or face more sanctions and international isolation, as well as a direct message from young leader Kim Jong Un to the United States, Pyongyang’s No. 1 enemy since the 1950-53 Korean War.

***VATICAN CITY - A

Vatican spokesman says the resigning Pope Bene-dict XVI will play no role in election of his successor.

The Rev. Federico Lombardi said Tuesday that “the pope will surely say absolutely nothing about the process of the election.”

“He will not interfere in any way,” Lombardi told reporters at a Vatican briefi ng.

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

Canyon Technical Services Ltd. is pleased to announce the addition of

The Third Town Band inspired local music lovers to fl ock to the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum on Friday night, as the Filipino group played a mix of fa-vourites, giving each song a bit of their own reggae fl air.

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

James Senires, the band’s rhythm guitarist, spoke with the Mercury following the art gallery set. Senires said the band, which has only played before an audience a few times so far, was experi-encing some stage fright early on.

“It’s one of the fi rst times, we’ve played a couple of gigs outside Eddie’s, but this was one of the gigs that we had that was kind of a mellow thing,” said Senires. “That was a big challenge for us because we’re always loud because we’re in the bar.”

The group did relax

after they got into the swing of things, but Senires said when they first started playing, “we were out of our comfort zone.”

Members of the band had many friends in the attendance, as about 30 people fi lled the main gal-lery, and seeing supporters

in the crowd helped to calm

everyone down. “As things went on, as

soon as we saw some smiles and a familiar face, our friends from here, it kind of got us more comfortable,” added Senires.

With vocalists Kim Marbella and Jelyne Eu-genio, the band covered No Doubt’s Underneath it All, 99 Red Balloons, the English version of German band Nena’s original from 1983, as well as a reggae-infused version of Alicia Keys’ Fallin’.

Kristofer Duran also provided vocals when the band performed U2’s With or Without You, and Bryan Adam’s Summer of ’69.

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

The band even brought in a friend to play bongos when they hit their fi nal song of the evening, Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child O’ Mine.

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

Before heading over to Eddie’s to play their second set of the night, Senires

commented on the dif-ferences between the two venues of the After Dark/After Hours series.

“There’s a really big difference from the bar scene, because here it’s not just about being mellow, but each sound that you make is a really big tune when it comes out there. We were looking at each other and we were all really tense. Each mistake that you make, you’re thinking in the back of your head, ‘Oh, they might have heard that.’ In the bar area, it will be, like, whatever,” said Senires said with a little laugh.

He said when they move over to the bar they would be mixing up their song list a little bit, adding some more dance songs, a little disco and lots of cur-rent Top 40 hits.

“It’s going to be a good dance scene,” he said.

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

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

Third Town Band puts own sound on classic songs

Kim Marbella provided vocals during the Third Town Band’s performance at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum as one three lead singers the band featured over the course of their set. Beside her, Wesh Binalla provides a base line during their reggae cover of Alicia Keys’ Fallin’.

For the second straight year, the Bienfait Coalers have fi nished in fi rst place in the Big Six Hockey League.

Entering last night’s regular season finale against Redvers, the Coal-ers boasted a robust record of 18-2 for 36 points, put-ting them seven clear of the second-place Midale Mustangs.

With three games be-ing played Tuesday, the

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

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

Two fi rst-round match-ups are already determined: the Coalers will face the last-place Carlyle Cougars (2-16-2), while Midale

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

Last week’s scores were as follows: Feb. 5, Bienfait 8, Carnduff 3; Ox-bow 3, Arcola 2. Wednes-day, Wawota 6, Oxbow 5; Bienfait 7, Carlyle 6 (SO). Friday, Redvers 4, Oxbow 3. Saturday, Redvers 6, Carlyle 2.

The league scoring race was also up for grabs heading into last night’s

games. Bienfait’s Brennan Wrigley led the league with 38 points, with teammate Lorne Tytlandsvik right be-hind with 37 points. Others with a shot at fi nishing fi rst are Carnduff’s Dan Mori-arty, with 37 points, and Bienfait’s Riley Tetreault, with 35.

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

on Saturday. That gave them a 12-9 series victory. Carnduff will now face Ro-canville in the south semis.

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

On the C side, Wawota

lost 5-2 to Radville in Game 2, losing their series 8-7. Overtime in the second game was needed to deter-mine the winner.

The other Big Six team still remaining is Midale. They will face Lumsden in a best-of-three south semi-fi nal on the A side.

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

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

But he’s gone. Disap-peared. Somebody must have kidnapped him and re-placed him with a look-alike who doesn’t seem to be able to score, doesn’t dash around at high speed anymore and plays the game like a third-line winger of which there are dozens in the best pro hockey league in the world.

Where’s the Ovechkin hockey fans came to know and love five years ago and who in 2008 signed a 13-year contract worth $124-million?

If Ovechkin’s stats were a stock market chart, the arrow would be pointing

down, down, down. His even-strength goals in the last fi ve years: 37, 37, 25, 25 and one this year through 12 games. Points: 110, 109, 85, 65 and eight. The formerly beloved “Ovie” had a mere four goals - only one of them even-strength - through the fi rst 25 per cent of this year’s season. It’s like he’s collect-ing his huge paycheque, putting on the sweater and skates and then floating through the reduced 48-game NHL campaign. Not surprisingly, the Capitals stood dead last - 30th out of 30 - with a mere seven points through 12 games this year.

To be fair, the total blame can’t be put on the Im-postor’s shoulders, but when a team’s superstar forward is being paid $124-million over 13 years, management expects more than one even-strength goal to kick off a shortened season, where ev-ery loss is magnifi ed by the mere 48 games they will play this year. It expects leader-ship, but it’s not getting that from the guy wearing No. 8.

So the Sid the Kid versus Ovie battle appears

to be over and Crosby, concussions and all, has emerged victorious. Still, if the Secret Service can fi nd out what happened to that No. 8 from 2008, hockey fans would love to know the answer.

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “Yahoo! says JaMarcus Russell dropped 12 pounds and is nearer to making a comeback. In related news, I cut my hair and am closer to dating Anne Hathaway.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post: “I believe that Colin Kaepernick, on his left arm, has tattooed the entire IHOP menu.”

• Brad Dickson, Omaha World-Herald: “Next season in major league baseball, translators are going to be allowed on the mound for manager-pitcher confer-ences. We need a different rule: Anyone who gets paid $20-million per year in the U.S. spends $180 of that for a remedial English class.”

• Dickson again: “At a press conference two days after the Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said New Orleans did a terrifi c job as host. At least I think that’s what he said. As soon as Goodell got to ‘terrifi c,’ the power

cut out.”• Scott Ostler of the

San Francisco Chronicle, on why Wayne Gretzky is not as great a golfer as he was a hockey player: “The genius of Gretzky was that he took the world’s fastest game and slowed it dowwwwn. He can’t do that with golf, which is already slower than room service in Hell.”

• Ostler again: “The line from (NFL commissioner) Roger Goodell’s state-of-the-league speech that will have moms sprinting to sign up their little boys for tackle football: ‘We’ll add a neurosurgeon on the fi eld to our game-day medical resources.’”

• Another one from

Currie: “Cirque de Soleil announced they’ve cut 400 jobs. There haven’t been so many clowns out of work since the NFL laid off re-placement refs.”

• Currie again: “The San Francisco Public Library is donating newspapers to an animal shelter for potty training puppies. So eventu-ally Niner Chris Culliver’s homophobic rant will get the coverage it deserves.”

• Headline at Sport-sPickle.com: “Joe Flacco celebrates Super Bowl title with wild night at Apple-bee’s.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti says the team plans to erect a

statue of polarizing line-backer Ray Lewis outside M&T Bank Stadium. Local pigeons can’t wait to put a white suit on it.”

• CBS’s David Let-terman, on another Super Bowl honour for Ravens coach John Harbaugh: “He was named the game’s most valuable Harbaugh.”

• Janice Hough of left-coastsportsbabe.com: “Kris-tin Cavallari, who is engaged to Jay Cutler, said the Bears QB proposed to her via text message. Well, that ought to do wonders for Cutler’s fourth-place fi nish in the ‘most disliked’ athlete poll.”

Where has the real Ovechkin gone?

Creighton Lodge


NationalAUSTIN, Texas - Ca-

nadian guard Myck Ka-bongo said Monday he is ready to return to the court after a 23-game NCAA sus-pension and that he should have co-operated with Uni-versity of Texas offi cials when fi rst asked about a 2012 trip to Cleveland.

The Toronto native was suspended for accept-ing airfare and personal training instruction and then providing false and

misleading information about the infractions during two interviews with univer-sity offi cials. Kabongo also was ordered to repay $475 to a charity of his choice

Coach Rick Barnes has said Kabongo will be in the starting lineup Wednesday when Texas (10-13, 2-8 Big 12) plays at home against Iowa State.

“I am ready to start playing with my team again and putting behind me the last several months. When

I went to Cleveland, I did not intend to break any rules and did not believe I had broken any. I should have been upfront with UT about everything the fi rst time I had a chance, but I’m glad that I corrected my mistake and I’m glad that I was truthful with the NCAA.”

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

help turn things around over the last few weeks of the regular season.

***ZURICH - FIFA has

ordered Canada forward Olivier Occean to serve a six-match ban after being sent off and then insulting the referee during a World Cup qualifi er against Cuba.

Occean was sent off after a scuffl e during Can-ada’s 3-0 victory in Toronto last Oct. 12. Occean then was involved in “several

acts of unsporting behav-iour and using offensive language toward match offi cials,” FIFA said in a statement.

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

Occean served the fi rst of his six-match sanction days after the incident, when Canada lost 8-1 against Honduras and was eliminated from the 2014 World Cup.

InternationalLONDON - The World

Anti-Doping Agency is urging football to conduct more blood doping tests and intelligence opera-tions to unmask cheating players.

WA D A D i r e c t o r General David Howman warned on Tuesday that “team sports players can go their entire career without being tested.”

WADA President John Fahey added that “football is not testing enough for (blood-boosting) EPO ... we are encouraging them to do more.”

Last week, Spain’s anti-doping agency an-nounced it was examining claims by a former presi-dent of Spanish team Real Sociedad that its players used performance-enhanc-ing substances.

Fahey also urged foot-ball to “use intelligence” after highlighting its im-portance to building a case against Lance Armstrong.

Fahey says sport must be “alert to the increasingly sophisticated science avail-able to athletes today and to the growing infl uence of the underworld.”

***LAUSANNE, Swit-

zerland - An offi cial famil-iar with the decision says IOC leaders have dropped wrestling from the program for the 2020 Olympics.

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

The offi cial spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the decision hadn’t been an-nounced yet.

The IOC board re-viewed the 26 sports on the current Olympic program. Eliminating one sport allows the International Olympic Committee to add a new sport to the program later this year.

***As the standard-bear-

er for women’s MMA, bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey has been shouldering a load for the UFC in recent months.

She’s bared her soul on the “Primetime” TV series building up to her UFC 157 main event with Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche on Feb. 23 in Anaheim, Calif. Rousey is also building in media appearances around her training to keep the fi res stoked.

For Rousey (6-0), it’s time to climb into the cage and close the door.

“All we’re doing is killing time,” she told The Canadian Press. “I’m al-ready ready. If I could have it my way, I would fi ght her tonight. Just get her up and get it over with.”

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

Ball Hockey With The BruinsMembers of the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins junior A hockey club were out at Spruce Ridge School to play ball hockey with students during the school’s winter festival Feb. 6. Team captain Connor Milligan fl ips a ball back into play.

Q: I have a Monta an-tique lawn mower patented in 1923 that was manufactured in Traverse City, Mich. I once had it appraised and was told it was worth around $500. I have enclosed a picture and would appreciate any advice you have. -- Richard, Sun City West, Ariz.

A: I looked at your picture, and I doubt your mower would sell for $500 in this sluggish economy. My advice is to show it to several antiques malls in your area.

***Q: I have enclosed pho-

tos of two art pieces: one in oil, the second in pen and ink. The oil is signed “Davis”

and the other piece by R.E. Kennedy. Although I haven’t been able to fi nd anything out about Davis, but understand Kennedy is a prolifi c artist. I purchased both at a not-for-profi t shop. Neither is dated. I have two questions, how old are they, and what is each worth? -- Christine, Albuquerque, N.M.

A: I am not an art expert, and for a competent answer to your questions you need to hire the services of a cer-tifi ed appraiser in your city. Why? A free appraisal by a neighbor or so-called expert with no credentials is virtually worthless. If you really want to know about your art, spend the money and fi nd out. If not, continue to enjoy them in your home.

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

lectible column, so why can’t you give me an estimated value. The answer to that is simple. If I tell you, for example, that your Davis oil is worth $500 and you later discover it is really worth much more, or for that matter, much less, you would not be happy with me.

Research has long sup-ported the recommendation of one glass (5 ounces) of red wine for heart health, but many non-alcohol drink-ers want to know if grape juice offers the same health benefi ts? The answer is yes, if it’s 100 percent purple grape juice.

“You get similar ben-efi ts, but red wine would provide those health benefi ts at a bit higher level,” shares Susan Mills-Gray, Nutrition & Health Education Spe-cialist with the University of Missouri Extension.

When grapes are fer-mented, the process creates/liberates tannins, which are the benefi cial compounds found in red wine. Tan-nins act as antioxidants in suppressing production of

the peptide responsible for hardening arteries.

Grapes and red wine also share the health benefi ts from resveratrol, an anti-oxidant found in the skin of red and purple grapes. Res-veratrol promotes healthier blood vessels, which leads to better blood fl ow and overall improved heart health. Resveratrol has been found to block immature fat cells from developing and functioning, which can prevent/reduce body fat. Resveratrol is also found in blueberries, cranberries, peanuts and peanut butter.

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

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

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

What’s more, research suggests that Concord grapes make one heart-healthy juice. Most 100 percent grape juice is made with whole Concord grapes -- skin, seeds and all -- and contains no added sugar, color or fl avor.

Getting enough fruits and vegetables each day is important for overall health. In particular, most people fall short on getting enough vibrantly colored, blue and purple fruits and vegetables, which only ac-count for about 3 percent of total fruit and vegetable intake. That’s not great news, because a diet rich in a wide variety of color-ful fruits and vegetables ensures the broadest range of vitamins, minerals and benefi cial plant nutrients.

Dark-skinned blue and

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

Drinking the right amount of 100 percent juice made with Concord grapes can be a smart way to add purple fruit to the diet and to liven up your day. But it’s important to remember that many purple grape juices aren’t made with Concord grapes, which means they may not have the same amount of plant nutrients, and therefore have less natural polyphenol power. Check the label to make sure that the grape juice that you’re buying is 100 percent grapes.

“The typical rule of thumb is that if you don’t drink alcohol, you shouldn’t

start, so 100 percent purple grape juice is certainly a good option,” adds Mills-Gray.

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

G R A P E J U I C E SMOOTHIE

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

1/2 cup grape juice,

chilled 1/4 cup plain low-fat

yogurt 1 cup frozen, seedless

red grapes

In a blender, combine grape juice, yogurt and grapes and blend until mix-ture is smooth and frothy. Pour into 1 tall glass.

By Samantha Mazzotta

Q: The fl oor squeaks loudly when I walk over a couple of spots in my living room. I read some-where that you can stop these squeaks by sprinkling talcum powder between the boards. But my fl oor is covered by carpet. Is there any other way to fi x the squeaks? -- Squeaking Mad in Memphis

A: Talcum powder is a good temporary fi x for squeaky floorboards (as noted in my new book, “101 Best Home Repair Tips,” available from Amazon). But eventually the squeaks come back anyway. If you’re not inclined to pull back the carpet repeatedly to apply powder between the boards, try a more per-

manent solution.Do you have access to

the underside of the living room fl oor, such as in the basement or the crawlspace under the house? If so, you either shim the nearest joist or secure the subfl ooring to the squeaky boards to reduce the noise.

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

If that doesn’t com-

pletely rid your fl oor of squeaks, try attaching the subfl oor to the fl oorboards in the squeaky area more tightly. You do this by driv-ing wood screws through the subfl oor layer into the bottom of the fl oorboards. Be careful to select screws that will not punch through the fl oorboards. Place the screws into the center of the squeaky area -- two should do it, but if you need three or more, go ahead.

What if you can’t ac-cess the underside of the fl oor? This is where you’ll need to roll back the carpet and address the boards from above.

To avoid marring the fl oorboards, hammer fi n-ishing nails between the squeaking boards, angling them so that they go into one edge of one of the boards. The nails should be fl ush with the fl oorboards. Space them a few inches apart along the squeaky area.

If that doesn’t do it, you

can secure the fl oorboard to the subfl ooring from above. This will mar the board, as you’ll need to drive a fi nishing nail (or if neces-sary, a wood screw) directly through the center of the squeaky floorboard into the subfl ooring. Use a nail set or another nail to drive the fi nishing nail slightly below the wood’s surface. Then cover it with wood fi ller whose color matches the color of the fl oorboard.

HOME TIP: Talcum or graphite powder are just temporary fi xes for squeaky fl oors. Apply either one be-tween the offending boards and brush away excess.
