Cheers to everyone who takes care of their yard’s grass, trees and hedges.

Cheers to the Mini Mermaids. My kids love taking part in the program.

Cheers to tae kwon do in Estevan for teaching people valuable things like self-discipline.

Cheers to the man who was cleaning up leaves that had fallen from his tree and were collecting on the street by the curb. He didn’t have to do it, but it’s very appreciated.

Cheers to the man at the gas station who gave me the money to make up for what I came up short. I cannot express my gratitude and just how amazed I am. I hope good things happen to you, for you are one of the amazing people still out there.

Cheers to United Way Estevan for another successful telethon last weekend. Great job Estevan for topping the goal once again!

Cheers to our member of city council who, when spoken to about the lack of garbage cans on the Trojan walking path, saw some were in place almost immediately.

Jeers to the woman who wouldn’t remove her hat in the Legion during the school kids’ performances. Where has respect gone in our society?

Jeers to the hockey coaches who pick their friends’ kids and co-workers’ kids to be part of the team they coach instead of kids with talent. It’s too bad for the kids with talent that it has to be this way.

Jeers to the mini chocolate bars that are out leading up to Halloween. I can’t stop eating them.

Jeers to the people who are riding their bicycles at night with no refl ectors on. Nobody can see them.

Jeers to semi-truck drivers who blow through lights when the power is out. Don’t they teach you in truck driving school that no lights means four-way stop?

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2012 Page 3

Challenge Day is com-ing back to the Estevan Comprehensive School, and that means the new crop of freshmen will continue what will be a tradition of going through the program that encourages students to see what life is like for their peers.

Nancy Zeleny, transi-tion co-ordinator with the Southeast Advocates for Employment who is involved in bringing the event to the school, said the biggest theme of the workshops is promoting empathy among students in both a school and com-munity setting.

“Don’t judge, don’t go off of fi rst impressions. Everybody has diffi culties in their life and successes,” said Zeleny. “Until you see that person for who they re-ally are, you shouldn’t judge them. Take a look at who that person is underneath it all. It’s a great message for youth to get when they’re in Grade 9.”

The first Challenge Day came to ECS this past March, when the San Francisco-based group at-tended the school for three days of workshops. United Way Estevan contributed to the event and after see-ing everything in action, decided to put up $15,000 each year for the next three in order to bring Challenge Day to the school’s new crop of Grade 9 students.

Treena Zelyck is a counsellor at the school who took part in the spring, and has spoken to students who went through the program already.

“I think for everybody it touched them in differ-ent ways,” she said. “Lots of students are saying it’s amazing. It brought about a lot of positivity for them. It’s changed how they look

at things and some people have been as profound to say it’s changed their life.”

“What is real ly ex-citing is that we need t o

have approx-imately 25 volunteers everyday,” not-ed Zeleny. “Last year, United Way had volunteers there and they participated, and that’s where they were really able to see how suc-cessful it was for those students.”

“There’s more connec-tion out in the community,” added Zelyck. “We are so grateful that we have the adult participants coming in and volunteering for it, and I think they get benefi ts out of it as well. They are getting to know each other past the labels and the stereotypes and all those barriers that we create for ourselves and other people.”

Zeleny also noted that after the three days at ECS from Oct. 29 to 31, the Chal-lenge Day crew will head to Lampman for a one-day session at the school there on Nov. 1.

She said the event held in the spring was a suc-cess, reaching about 300 students. This year the fi rst two days will be for the

Grade 9 students, while the third day will be for

seniors who want to participate.

“Last year we just of-

f e r e d i t t o t h e

Grade

9 s , ” said Ze-

lyck. “A lot of the Grade

10s and 11s came to us and said, ‘Why

are you just doing this for the Grade 9s? We

need it too.’ So we listened to what they had to say and gave them a day.”

Zeleny noted that be-cause aspects of Challenge Day are used for a reality TV show on MTV, youth are “really in tune with it.”

She said they are al-ready seeing a change in the school system as well as out in the community. In three years, all students at ECS will have gone through the program, and Zeleny said that’s when the benefi ts can truly be measured.

Zelyck said they are hoping there will be a greater connection between students and staff once all students have taken part.

“There is just more positivity in the hallway,” she said students have told her.

If anyone is interested in becoming an adult vol-unteer, they are still looking for more, and Zeleny added

that after seeing it herself in the spring, the experience is worth it for everyone.

Zelyck said many of the students at the start of the day are nervous or intimidated, but they are also curious.

“They enter the room to screaming adults, high-fi ving them and cheering them on. It sets a tone for

the nervousness, but they get to laugh at us too,

so that’s good,” said Zelyck.

Then the con-versation turns more

serious, dealing with bullying and respect, be-

fore breaking into smaller groups, called the family group. That’s where the game If You Really Knew Me … is played. Everybody in the group completes the sen-tence by sharing something personal that the rest of their group wouldn’t know.

“It blows my mind every time because these students just open right up,” said Zeleny. “They want people to listen to them. They want to have their stories heard.”

As the day nears the end, things get a little more fun again, and there are a lot of games to play.

“At the end of the day (the students) don’t want to leave the room, then they’re hanging around and they’re hugging each other. It’s an awesome experience to see start to fi nish,” added Zeleny.

She said anyone who wants to volunteer should call the school at 634-4761.

It’s a different experience for everyone

Around here job interviews are gener-ally brief. Do you want the job? Yes or no.

But for most positions in most other parts of the country and world, the job interview process can be a little more extensive. Other times they can be so bizarre, the interviewers questions could lead you to question whether you actually even want the job.

A big part of my job is conducting interviews, but I’ve never conducted a job interview in my life, so how employers and HR departments decide on their lines of questioning I’m not sure. I have been on the answering end of a number of job interviews and they are all different. The most outlandish requests and questions I can recall happened in the same interview for the job I had before this one.

I was asked why my friends liked me, to which I replied something along the lines of “because I’m just such a great guy, why wouldn’t they like me?” I realized after I should have said something more clever, like, “What friends?”

The interviewer also slid a tape measure across the table and asked me to measure the table’s width and tell him what I came up with.

I must have answered correctly, be-cause I got the job.

Job interview questions have two purposes: to give a prospective employee an opportunity to demonstrate how savvy they are for the position and to let employ-ers feel like they are thoroughly vetting their candidates, even if job interviews are found to do very little to see if an applicant is right for the job.

Because of the job interviews limited usefulness, some employers are trying to spice it up with more interesting questions.

A question attributed to Google inter-viewers in 2011 is “How many people are using Facebook in San Francisco at 2:30 p.m. on a Friday?”

The only thing an interviewer can draw from an answer to this question is how good a candidate can come up with an answer full of nonsense. The correct answer is “I don’t know.”

Volkswagen asked in 2010, “What would you do if you just inherited a piz-zeria from your uncle?”

Well, my uncle doesn’t own a pizzeria. Give me the job.

Goldman Sachs asked, “If you were shrunk to the size of a pencil and put in a blender, how would you get out?”

I would ask the person who shrunk me and placed me in a blender to please remove me so I don’t get blended with his smoothie.

The only answer for these lame-brained questions is a sarcastic one in most cases.

Capital One asked, “Rate yourself on a scale of one to 10 how weird you are.”

Well, I really like the term weird because everybody is weird in their own way, and I really like to celebrate the strange things we like and do. I listen to a prog-rock band whose music follows a sci-fi narrative taking place amongst 78 planets called Heaven’s Fence. The bad guys have names like Mayo Deftinwolf and Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan. They release comic books and novels to fl esh out the story. One of their albums is called Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. It’s super weird, but I can’t get enough of those guys.

To answer the question, I’d say about an eight. Would you hire an eight?

There is such thing as a stupid questionJordan BakerThoughts From

Fewer and fewer people have a tie to farming, but as a sector, agriculture remains an important one, not just on the Canadian Prairies but around the world.

There may be fewer farmers, but they still till the same amount of soil, and ulti-mately produce the food we all eat.

We may be at a point in our history where too many people think food just comes from the supermarket, and are little aware the milk in the carton on the table at breakfast comes from a cow on a farm. However, that does not change the impor-tance of the cow - or the farmer.

So it is a good thing when we try to raise awareness a bit by pausing to say thank you to farmers in some small way,

Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart recently proclaimed October as Agriculture Month in the province.

It is not a new initiative to mark the month, but it remains a worthwhile en-deavour.

It is too easy for those of us not in-volved directly with farming to forget just how diffi cult the business is.

Farming is one of those occupations where you can do everything perfectly and Mother Nature still ultimately determines how successful the crop will be.

No amount of fertilizer can boost production without rain.

Nothing a farmer can do can protect a crop from an early fall frost.

So farmers roll the dice with every crop. They invest large amounts of money in seed, fuel, fertilizer and other inputs and then hope nature co-operates.

And even if nature co-operates, farm-ers take what they produce to a market where they have little control of the price they receive for the crop grown.

It is a multi-million dollar business to-day, where a single tractor or combine can cost $500,000 or more. For comparison, that is like two new entry-level homes in a city such as Yorkton, with a few dollars left over for furnishings.

The scale of farming today is some-thing that is hard even for those working with farmers regularly to get their heads around.

The average Prairie farm will have a far greater capital investment than most retail businesses in the towns and cities that dot the map.

The annual operating costs of a farm will be higher than those same businesses.

To the credit of the Brad Wall gov-ernment, it is taking a lead in trying to re-inform the broader public about the importance of farming.

Agriculture Minister Stewart and Farm Credit Canada president Greg Stewart recently signed a partnership agreement recognizing Saskatchewan as the fi rst province to become an offi cial partner in Agriculture More Than Ever.

“Partners of the initiative will work to promote the contributions made by farmers, ranchers and the industry to the economy, environment and health of peo-ple around the world. Through Agriculture More Than Ever, producers, stakeholders, industry leaders and others involved in agriculture provide information, dispel myths, and tell success stories to improve public understanding of the industry,” a Saskatchewan government release said.

It will be a major undertaking in an era where fewer and fewer people have ridden a tractor around a fi eld or helped to move cattle to pasture.

But because farmers ultimately feed us all, it is critical we better understand and appreciate what they do so that we have continued confi dence in the food we eat, and how it was produced at the farm level.

I went to the Justin Bieber concert Tuesday night in Saskatoon. Obvi-ously, it was awesome. Time of my freakin’ life.

But it was a bit of a strange experience. For one, I drove home after the concert drinking a large Double Double from Tim’s and listening to CBC on the radio. I have never drunk coffee before. And I honestly don’t listen to CBC a whole lot. So basi-cally, while driving home at midnight, I turned into the 30-year-old version of myself. It was pretty cool.

But then, while at the Justin Bieber concert, I was just as excited as the 12-year-old girls surround-ing me in the nosebleed section. My scream was just as loud and, by the end, just as high-pitched. It was like I was a pre-teen again. It was just as cool as being the 30-year-old version of me.

The confusing age mash-up that took place over those fi ve hours (three

for the concert, two to drive home) was almost as neat as the concert. But, like all events that involve other people, the night wasn’t perfect.

When I landed in Chamberlain with the intent of grabbing a sub, I entered a gas station swarming with J.B. fans on their way to the con-

cert. But instead of teens making the trip, it was fi lled with mothers and their toddlers. At fi rst, I thought it was cool to see a four-year-old decked out in purple and excitedly talking about the concert. But then I thought back to being four years old and the fact that I remember almost nothing from that

time of my life.What the heck is the

point in taking your kinder-gartener to a concert? They aren’t going to remember it. Her J.B. T-shirt is only going to fi t for another fi ve months before she grows, as children are notorious for doing. And the cheesy smartphone photo you took will be out of date and low quality by the time she is old enough to appreciate it.

If you’re going to the concert for yourself, that’s cool. But fess up. You may be taking your daughter, but you really just wanted to see that 18-year-old hot-tie dancing his life away on stage. Nothing wrong with that, of course.

A local man was re-cently recognized in Ot-tawa after saving the life

of his 10-year-old daughter.Darcy Gunnlaugson

found himself in a situa-

tion no parent ever wants to be in. Last year his daughter came to him with her hands crossed at her throat and unable to make even a whisper for help. The SaskPower mechanic immediately sprung into action to dislodge what was clogging her airway and in just a few seconds it was done.

Gunnlaugson said be-ing able to save the life of his daughter, Emma, was amazing.

“First of all, I was shocked afterwards. I was thinking, ‘I can’t believe that just happened,’” he said. “It’s awesome.”

He said after the in-cident, he started thinking about friends of his who are EMTs, and had bit of a greater appreciation for them as well.

The incident occurred at home when his daughter came running to him from another room.

“My daughter was in the kitchen, and I hear this terrible noise and I’ve never heard a noise life this before,” said Gunnlaugson. “She comes running out into the living room with her hands up at her throat. Her mouth is wide open.”

He knew something was amiss and quickly asked her if she was OK.

“Nothing comes out (in response), no little gargle, can’t even hear her exhal-ing. So right then and there I knew she was choking.”

He jumped out of his chair, tilted her forward and gave a one-handed slap in the middle of her back, but that didn’t work.

“Then I did the one-

handed Heimlich manoeu-vre for kids, and then out came a double orange segment from one of those mandarin oranges.”

Gunnlaugson noted that everything happened very fast, adding that the whole incident took no more than 10 seconds.

“There was no time to panic for either one of us. She was so level headed when she came putting her hands at her throat. I didn’t even have time to holler upstairs to my wife or call 911. It’s done in a matter of seconds.”

He doesn’t recall ever telling his children exactly what they should do if they found themselves choking, so the fact that Emma was calm and aware enough to go straight for her father certainly helped. She had taken the Home Alone course and completed a babysitting course, Gunn-laugson said, so she does have some knowledge of fi rst aid as well.

After the incident, he called up the safety offi cer at work thanking her for the first-aid training he received through his job.

“I said, ‘Oh, it’s a good thing you sent me for fi rst

aid because I actually got to use it last night, and I saved Emma’s life,’” he said.

It was that phone call that eventually led to his recognition by the Canadi-an Electricity Association, receiving the 2012 Lifesav-ing Award in Ottawa on Oct. 2, during their annual Occupational Health and Safety Awards reception.

Souris-Moose Moun-tain MP Ed Komarnicki presented the award, and prior to the reception brought Gunnlaugson’s story up in the House of Commons.

Gunnlaugson also re-ceived the 2011 Lifesaver Award through SaskPower.

He said when he was presented the award, he took Emma up with him and people at the event started to get a little teary-eyed after hearing the story.

He added that follow-ing the choking incident, his wife went to get fi rst-aid training on her own.

Gunnlaugson has also wondered if he didn’t have the training, or just wasn’t at home, what could have been. He encourages every-one to get all the training they can get because it could be useful at any time.

Funeral music is staying hip as Adele’s song Someone Like You is creeping up the list of most played songs at funerals.

It’s a strange choice given that it’s a song about fi nding a new love in your life, but I guess there is no better time to get over the deceased than at his or her funeral. It also got us thinking about what songs we would want played when our time came to form our funeral playlist.

I remember a funeral for a friend a number of years ago, and as people fi led in for the service they had some of his favourite music playing. The fi nal song before everything got started was Don MacLean’s tribute to Buddy Holly, and music in general, American Pie. Everybody who was there sang along to that tune. My friend was something of a musician, so it was very fi tting and a great moment.

That’s what I want playing at my funeral, something that everybody can sing along to. As I’ve been sticking with Prop365, a pledge and blog featuring 365 of the most popular

musicians of the past 100 years, I’ve been exposed to some excellent songs that may play well at a funeral. Just this week I contributed a post about Nat King Cole, and one song that stuck out as funeral worthy was Unforgettable.

The song is about being unforgettable in every way forevermore, which is a great senti-ment for a funeral.

If you can’t fi nd something for everybody to sing along to, then it wouldn’t hurt to have something people can dance to. Throwing David Bowie’s TVC 15 into the mix could get people shuffl ing their feet.

Something more appropriate might be Bowie’s Five Years, which is kind of a sci-fi song about the world ending in fi ve years, but is also a reminder of capturing each moment in our lives considering our time is fi nite.

For Tragically Hip fans, and for those who tragically don’t know who that band is, It’s a Good Life if You Don’t Weaken is a great choice.

There are plenty of criteria to use when selecting a funeral playlist, but with Adele becoming so popular, for some the most important thing is to stay trendy. — Jordan Baker

This isn’t something I think about often, but based on the music I already listen to, here are a few songs I’d like to have played at the celebration of my untimely death:

1) Heaven by Natalia Kills. In this pop song, Natalia Kills laments the loss of a close relationship due to a death. I really like the sound of this song, and her expression of wanting to be close with the deceased. Plus, it would be really shocking to start a funeral

with a base-heavy, pretty upbeat-sounding pop song. I’d like to kick things off with a bang.

2) Pray by Justin Bieber. Another unexpected pop song. I think I’m going to make that my funeral theme. This song isn’t exactly about death, but it does wish for good things in the world. I may not be religious, but I do hope to see life improve for the general population.

3) Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. I really like this song. It’s not about death. But it reminds me of driving with my family and listening to my family sing the song together (not well, and with Kendelle singing louder than everyone). That’s a fun memory for me, and I’d want my family to happily remember

4) Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift. Another good song that makes me think of my sisters. It’s really my wish that they stay young at heart throughout their lives and value family. Plus, I really like Taylor Swift.

5) Gangnam Style by Psy. Because dead-Tonaya really wants to see some leg shuffl ing at her funeral. And imagine the shock value.

Having written this list, I really hope my family takes note. Write this down, people. Dying young is obviously not a joke, but you need to be prepared in case my reckless driving or offensive column result in me seeing an early grave. — Tonaya Marr

What would be on your funeral playlist?

“Spencer. Spencer come here. SPENCER, COME HERE!”

“Katrina, go get Spen-cer. Wait, never mind. SPENCER, COME HERE RIGHT NOW!”

Geez, fi ve-year-olds these days. You would think they would have patience to watch history in the making online on their daddy’s computer or something.

Sunday morning I had my eyes glued to the YouTube feed of the Red Bull Stratos project, where Austrian Felix Baumgart-ner ascended to the edge of space in a giant balloon, jumped out, and acceler-ated well past the speed of sound only to land safely, on live broadcast, on his

feet.I couldn’t help but

compare this to the jump that had been attempted by another European, Michel Fournier, who had planned on a very similar jump at North Battleford in 2003, and then again in 2008, while I was still working for the Battlefords News-Optimist. I deftly avoided that assignment, despite my keen interest in all things aerospace (I was an air cadet instructor, after all). I had no desire to see someone kill themself in front of my lens.

He tried once more in 2010, again without suc-cess. In 2008, the balloon took off without him. In 2010, his reserve parachute deployed inside his capsule

just before takeoff, scrub-bing the mission.

What struck me was the scale of the Baumgart-ner effort. While the New York Times reported in 2008 that up to that point, Fournier had spent two decades and nearly $20 million on the project, it seemed like, well, a Mickey Mouse operation compared to what the world, and I do mean the whole world, saw on Sunday.

If nothing else, we have found when Red Bull puts its backing behind a project, they pull out all the stops.

I have never seen such a slick operation. There were more camera angles than a Michael Bay movie when things are going boom. There were live links to the Internet, with live feeds to TV channels and websites around the world. Despite millions upon millions watching it at the same time, the servers didn’t crash.

His command centre rivalled that of NASA. Indeed, they looked very much alike, except that the Red Bull version may have

been more modern.The tracking cameras,

able to keep an eye on Baumgartner despite his fl ying to the edge of space vertically and quite a ways laterally, were improve-ments on what NASA has used to track the shuttle launches.

All of this was a far cry from anything they had in North Battleford for Fournier’s earlier at-tempts. (I wasn’t there in 2010.) While the capsule, balloon and the like were very similar, all the rest seemed, well, less Red Bullish.

It was impressive to see Baumgartner pull this off. It was even more impressive that we, as a planet, got to see it happen.

As we watched the numbers ascend to 127,000 feet, the kids and I were on edge. Then Spencer became disinterested as Baumgartner went through the checklist before open-ing the door and making

the jump, and wandered off, eliciting the pleas seen above for him to come back.

“Is this real, Daddy?” Katrina asked.

“Very real,” I replied. So real, in fact, I was

prepared to end the video feed right then and there should something bad hap-pen. I didn’t want my kids to be traumatized watching a man die before their eyes.

I suspect this is why, about a minute into the freefall, the cameras cut away from his obvious flat spin. Baumgartner corrected it, however, and broke the sound barrier.

“Is this history, Dad-dy?” Katrina asked.

“Yes, yes it is. Just like on the Discovery Channel.”

“Oh,” she replied, eyes glued to the screen.

History indeed.

RCMP in Saskatchewan are still looking to bust thieves who decided to bring home some illegal bacon.

Mounties are asking the public for help in nab-bing robbers who broke into a home near Neilburg in August — and stole two children’s piggy banks.

NationalOTTAWA - Defence

Minister Peter MacKay will give Sapphire, Can-ada’s fi rst military satel-lite, the offi cial send-off Thursday at the David Florida Laboratory, where it underwent final tests before a planned launch in December.

MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates, the prime contractor, was awarded the $65-million contract fi ve years ago.

National Defence de-scribes Sapphire as the largest part of the Cana-

dian surveillance system, intended to increase “space situational awareness.”

Sapphire will be used to support Canadian and international operations, as well as bilateral com-mitments such as NORAD.

The metre-long satel-lite, weighing about 150 kilograms, will track man-made objects and space de-bris that could pose threats to other satellites.

With a life expectancy of at least fi ve years, Sap-phire will be placed in a polar synchronous or-bit some 800 kilometres above Earth. The satellite will detect more objects with better accuracy than specialized radars or tele-scopes on the ground.

***TORONTO - Fund-

ing Catholic schools and not those of other faiths equates giving them a privilege others don’t en-joy, Ontario government lawyers agreed Wednes-day, but said it’s still a

constitutionally protected right.

A Toronto woman is asking Ontario’s Superior Court to order the gov-ernment to stop funding Catholic schools because as a taxpayer who doesn’t share the church’s beliefs, she says it infringes her freedom of religion.

But as the funding was guaranteed in 1867 in the constitution, it is not sub-ject to charter challenges, court heard.

Judge David Corbett, questioning the govern-ment lawyers, noted that section of the constitution was put in place at the time of Confederation to protect the rights of the Catholic minority, when the Protestant majority had the benefi t of a Protestant school system.

Today the school sys-tem is secular and yet Catholic schools remain publicly funded, turning a law that was once intended to protect minority rights

into one that confers a privilege, Corbett said.

Josh Hunter, a lawyer with the Ministry of the Attorney General, agreed.

Ontario, he said, could create other denomina-tional school rights, as other provinces have.

***OTTAWA - Statistics

Canada says the number of job vacancies rose in July.

The agency says there were 264,000 vacant jobs in the month, up 32,000 from July 2011.

There were 5.3 unem-ployed people for every vacant job in July, down from 6.0 in the same month a year earlier.

The agency says the decline in the ratio of un-employment to job vacan-cies was mainly a result of an increase in vacancies.

The national job va-cancy rate was 1.8 per cent in the three-month period ending in July, up from 1.6 per cent a year earlier.

The agency cautions,

though that this is a new data series and trends are not yet available.

InternationalLAS VEGAS, Nev. -

Police in Las Vegas say entertainer Flavor Flav is jailed on felony charges stemming from a domestic argument with his fi ancee and threats to attack her teenage son with a knife.

Officer Bill Cassell says no one was injured before the arrest around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday at a home in a residential neighbourhood several miles southwest of the Las Vegas Strip.

The 53-year-old for-mer rapper and reality television star, whose legal name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr., was being held on $23,000 bail at the Clark County jail, with an initial court appearance scheduled Thursday. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer.

Drayton was part of the 1980s and 90s rap

group Public Enemy whose public persona includes wearing a big clock on his chest.

***LONDON - Scotland

Yard has banned its offi -cers from sporting visible tattoos, saying it damages the professional image of Britain’s top police force.

The force confi rmed in a statement Wednesday that the Metropolitan Po-lice will no longer permit tattoos on the face, hands or which appear above the collar line. It said all other tattoos must be covered.

Scotland Yard said that offi cers who already have visible tattoos — will be required to “register” those tattoos in writing to their managers by Nov. 12 or face disciplinary actions for gross misconduct.

The force previously had prohibited tattoos deemed offensive to reli-gion or beliefs or that could be construed as violent or intimidating.

Naming six current tennis professionals isn't that diffi cult for most Ca-nadian sports fans. You start with Nadal, then Federer, Andy Murray, Venus and Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. For a bonus point, most could come up with Novak Djokovic.

An avid Canadian court fan might even throw out the names of long-time Toronto star Daniel Nestor and our country's current top-ranked player, Milos Raonic.

OK, smarty pants. Here's the next part of the quiz: Name Canada's two Wimbledon champs from 2012.

Huh?It's not a trick question.

Filip Peliwo of Vancouver and Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., won junior Wimbledon champi-onships in London this past summer and both are plan-ning to start playing for pay as early as next year.

Canadian tennis is on the rise!

The victories at the All-England Club by the two 18-year-olds mark the fi rst time that players from Canada have won the

Tennis in Canada on the riseworld's most prestigious junior tournaments. But to long-time tennis watchers, the triumphs weren't that big a surprise.

Tennis Canada's Louis Borfi ga was brought to this country from France for the express purpose of devel-oping junior tennis stars. Borfi ga is vice-president of Tennis Canada's high perfor-mance athletic development and when he arrived, he was troubled by discovering that Canada's best young players were "playing to play, not playing to win," according to Sportsnet Magazine.

The success of Peliwo and Bouchard show that Borfi ga's efforts are paying off. The two work out daily at the National Training Centre in Montreal for about 10 hours, including more than six hours on the court.

Said Borfi ga to Dave Zarum of Sportsnet Maga-zine: "Before, there was no system; everybody was training all over the place. My fi rst goal was to re-group the best players in the same place with the same coaches."

The grouping strategy is obviously paying divi-

dends. Peliwo, ranked No. 1 in the world in junior boys, and Bouchard, now No. 2 among the world's female set, could perhaps be the world's next Nadal and Sharapova.

"Why not?," said Bor-fi ga.

"It's a change in men-tality," the tennis guru told Zarum. "That's the point we're trying to make: Why not Canada?"

• Comedy writer Jim Barach: "Michael Vick says he is a dog owner again. In fact, he just took the dog along on a shopping trip to help Plaxico Burress buy a new gun."

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: "To protect a giraffe from getting injured during a move, Chinese trainers taught her to duck. They're still working on Bombers' quarterback Buck

Pierce."• David Letterman of

CBS: "Here's a sign that it's autumn in New York: Alex Rodriguez striking out with the bases loaded."

• Headline at Sport-sPickle.com: "A-Rod ex-ceeds fan expectations by fouling off pitch."

• Janice Hough of Left-CoastSportsBabe.com, after San Francisco won a playoff game despite batting three for 32: "Normally when a team wins with as little of-fence as the Giants displayed tonight, penalty kicks are involved."

• College football guru Beano Cook, who died in mid-October at 81, on his fear of fl ying: "You only have to bat a thousand in two things - fl ying and heart transplants. Everything else, you can go 4 for 5."

• Mike Bianchi of the

Orlando Sentinel, recount-ing one of his favourite Beano Cook stories: "When former baseball commis-sioner Bowie Kuhn gave the 52 released Iran hostages lifetime passes to Major League Baseball, Beano, an ardent football fan who hated the slow pace of base-ball, cracked 'Haven't they suffered enough?'"

• Among the top 10 things you don't expect to hear from a pro football player, from Letterman:

- "Stop pushing.- "Grass stains - ewww.- "No steroids for me,

thanks.- "I want to play for

the Jets."• Greg Cote of The

Miami Herald, after the Dolphins released Legedu Naanee: "The only receiver in the NFL with more vowels than catches."

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Her-ald, on beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings competing while pregnant at the Olympics: "This marks the fi rst time an athlete who brought home gold was eat-ing for two since Charles Barkley was on the Dream

Team."• Adam Hill of the Las

Vegas Review-Journal, after tempestuous ex-slugger Albert Belle said he'd like to interview for the Indians' managerial vacancy: "Ar-nold Schwarzenegger has a better chance becoming a marriage counsellor."

• Janice Hough again: If Prince Fielder ever tries to slide into third base with Pablo Sandoval trying to block him it would register on the Richter scale."

• Comedy writer Jerry Perisho, on Twitter: "Prince Fielder looks like a uniform stuffed with wadded up newspaper."

• Steve Simmons of Sunmedia: "Jerry Sandusky got a 30-year sentence, which is essentially life in prison. Graham James re-ceived a two-year sentence. Canadian justice, please explain."

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Twit-ter: "When Obama was bail-ing out Detroit, how come he didn't do anything about the Tigers' bullpen?"

The road to the 2012 CFL playoffs took a de-tour. The Saskatchewan Roughriders were denied a fourth-straight victory Sat-urday in Edmonton, falling 37-20 to the Eskimos who suddenly have new life and are just two points back of the Riders for third-place in the CFL West with three games to go.

In what looked like a Saskatchewan alumni game, three former Riders combined to torch their old club. Kerry Joseph fi red three touchdown passes, Hugh Charles piled up over 150 yards rushing and Cary Koch caught a fi rst half touchdown. Funny, no one is scorning the Eskimos for employing Rider "cast-offs." I never liked that term anyway.

True to form, Rider head coach Corey Chamblin downplayed the signifi cance of the loss even though the team squandered a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win. When his team wins Chamblin is quick to boot them in the pants, while after losses, he routinely pats them on the back. Maybe it's different behind closed doors.

But if the Riders needed an excuse, they could point to a couple in this one. They were playing their second-straight road game within six days and some questionable pass interference calls at key times greatly enhanced the Eskimos' chances in the game. Still, Chamblin wasn't about to play the blame game.

"It's one of those games where regardless of what was stacked against us, we came to play football," Chamblin said. "They fought through the elements. The short week is part of the game. It's a two-head sword. If you win, you're sky-high. It was an adverse week. We didn't win, but we fought."

As far as the offi ciating goes, the Riders didn't get the breaks. But they were on the other end of some calls in Week 15 in Toronto.

"The refs must have been on a short week too," Chamblin laughed. "Some of the calls that were made, he looked tired! But we moved on."

It's unlikely those com-ments will result in a fi ne. However, that's the way things seem to go at Com-

monwealth Stadium where the Riders have only won nine of their last 50 visits.

As we wrote in this space last week, Saskatchewan appears to be on a collision course for the playoffs, which is a big coup after missing last year. The only questions remaining are where they will fi nish and who they will play?

Having already lost the tie-breakers to division foes Calgary and Edmonton, there's still a realistic shot of the Riders crossing over to the East Division for the playoffs with a fourth-place fi nish.

The Riders are looking ahead and not behind, but I'm just presenting the scenario. Road games in Rogers Centre and Olympic Stadium seem rather inviting.

And there's no shame in crossing over either. During

the Riders' 10-year playoff streak in the past decade,

they did it twice, in 2002 and again in 2005.

It just feels good to even be talking about the playoffs. As distasteful as Saturday's loss was — and the Riders' performance in it — it's bet-ter to lose in October than November. And Chamblin knows it.

"One or two games and we're where we need to be,"

the Rider coach asserted. "The playoffs didn't start today. There will be an op-portunity next week also."

That's against Mon-treal — the Riders' old Grey Cup nemesis — Saturday in Regina.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s sharp business sense alerts you to question the posi-tions of those trying to push the Bull into a deal. Demand to see proof of what they profess.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your quick think-ing helps you get out of a troubling situation that was suddenly thrust upon you. Later on, you can expect to learn more about why it happened.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel you’ve dotted all your i’s

and crossed all your t’s regarding that upcoming deal. But there might be some facts you’ve ignored. Check again.

LEO (July 23 to Au-gust 22) Time for the Lion to be more physically active. It will help shake off any lingering Leonine lethargy and restore your energy levels, so you’ll be prepared for what lies ahead.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Helping those in need at this time is laudable. But don’t ignore your own needs, especially where it concerns your health. A medical checkup is a wise move.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good news: Your outspoken views about a controversial on-the-job situation could fi nd unexpectedly strong sup-port from a most unlikely workplace faction.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You

might have to draw on your reservoir of spiritual strength to help someone special through a diffi cult time. Your loving attitude makes all the difference.

SAGITTARIUS (No-vember 22 to December 21) Your proven leadership qualities make you the perfect person to take on an important workplace task.

CAPRICORN (De-cember 22 to January 19) Although some compro-mise might need to be reached regarding your stand on an important issue, you’ll still be able to get the most crucial points across.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A chance to make a career change carries both positive and uncertain possibilities. Best advice: Check it out thoroughly and don’t be rushed into a decision.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’re still a staunch supporter of one side of an important issue. But be prepared to deal with new information that could cause you to question your current stand.

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re perceptive and quick to act when you sense that someone needs help. You are an always-dependable friend.

NationalGENEVA - FIFA Presi-

dent Sepp Blatter plans to speak with Cuban offi cials after three national team players defected in Canada ahead of a World Cup quali-fi er last week.

The players disappeared nine months after two play-ers with the Cuba women’s team fl ed to the United States following a match against Canada in Vancouver.

Blatter said Monday that the defections had become “a presidential question” for FIFA and not just an issue for the competitions department.

“This we cannot let just stand there — it will not work,” he told reporters at a briefi ng.

Blatter will study FIFA’s reports into the latest incident in Toronto last Thursday before acting.

The FIFA president said he will personally contact “the sports authorities in Cuba, but giving them a copy to give to their political authorities.”

Cuba had just 11 players available to face Canada on Friday and lost 3-0.

***TORONTO, ONTAR-

IO, - There’s something about the $1.5-million Pat-

tison Canadian International that brings out the best in both Joshua Tree and jockey Frankie Dettori.

Dettori took the Irish-bred to the lead from the start and stayed there, capturing Canada’s richest thorough-bred race wire-to-wire in a record-tying win for both jockey and horse at Wood-bine Racetrack.

Dettori claimed his third International victory, joining Robert Watson (1942-’44) as the only individuals to achieve that milestone. But Dettori became the fi rst jock-ey to earn all of his victories since this became a turf race in 1958, having won previ-ously aboard Mutafaweq in 2000 and Sulamani in 2004.

Joshua Tree, second in last year’s race, earned his second career International win with the fi rst coming in 2010. He became only the third horse to register three victories after Canadian-bred George Royal (1965-’66) and Majesty’s Prince (1982, ‘84).

Joshua Tree also be-comes the International’s 12th Irish-bred champion.

***TORONTO, ONTAR-

IO, - The CFL’s muddled playoff picture could clear up

signifi cantly this weekend.The B.C. Lions and

Montreal Alouettes can ce-ment top spot in the West and East Divisions, respectively, with outright victories. That would give both teams open-ing playoff byes and the right to host their conference fi nals Nov. 18.

The conference champi-ons will meet in the historic 100th Grey Cup on Nov. 25 at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

The Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders could also both nail down second spot in their respec-tive divisions, with a little help. That would essentially leave third in the East and West Division still up for grabs heading into the fi -nal two weeks of the 2012 campaign.

B.C. heads into its home game Friday against Edmon-ton with a CFL-best 11-4 record, and the defending Grey Cup champion can ce-ment fi rst in the West for the second straight year with a win over the Eskimos.

But the Eskimos (7-8) have plenty to play for. They’re fourth in the tight West Division but just two

points behind third-place Saskatchewan (8-7) and four points in back of second-place Calgary (9-6).

InternationalDUBAI, United Arab

Emirates - The Asian Foot-ball Confederation has apologized for mistakenly referring to the United Arab Emirates national team as the “Sand Monkeys.”

The mistake in an article on the AFC website set off a storm of criticism in the Gulf country. The UAE Football Association’s Yousuf Ab-dulla demanded an apology and called the wording an “unfortunate affair” which “revealed some racist acts by some AFC offi cials.”

The AFC said Monday it wanted to “apologize for any hurt this might have caused to the UAE Football Associa-tion and UAE football fans.”

The AFC called it a “genuine mistake” inserted by a new writer who saw “Sand Monkeys” wrongly listed as the team’s nickname on its Wikipedia page. The team’s actual nickname is Al Abyad, or The White, and the Wikipedia page has been

corrected.***

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Television ratings for baseball’s division series are down from last year.

The 18 games on TBS, with all four series going the distance, averaged a 2.4 rating. That’s down 11 per cent from the 2.7 for 19 games in 2011, when teams from larger markets made the playoffs. Three of the four series went the full fi ve games last season.

MLB Network aired playoff games for the fi rst time this year. Its two divi-sion series broadcasts — Game 2 of Detroit-Oakland and Game 3 of St. Louis-Washington — averaged a network-record 1.2 million viewers, compared with 3.7 million for the TBS games. MLB Network is in about 70 million homes while TBS is in more than 100 million.

Ratings represent the percentage of all homes with televisions tuned into a program.

***AUSTIN, Texas - Lance

Armstrong stepped down as chairman of his Livestrong

cancer-fighting charity Wednesday and Nike sev-ered ties with him as fallout from the doping scandal swirling around the cyclist escalated.

Armstrong announced his move at the charity in an early-morning statement. Within minutes, Nike said that it would end its rela-tionship with him “due to the seemingly insurmount-able evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade.”

Nike said it will con-tinue to support Livestrong.

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report last week detailing allegations of widespread doping by Armstrong and his teams when he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005.

The document’s pur-pose was to show why USADA has banned him from cycling for life and ordered 14 years of his career results erased — including those Tour titles. It contains sworn statements from 26 witnesses, including 11 for-mer teammates.

“Thomas Jefferson’s Creme Brulee: How a Founding Father and His Slave James Hemings In-troduced French Cuisine to America”

by Thomas J. Craugh-well

(Quirk Books, $19.95)Reviewed by Larry

Cox

Thomas Jefferson was a complex man, and one of our most intriguing Found-ing Fathers. In addition to drafting the Declaration of Independence and serving as U.S. president, he was a political philosopher, gardener, naturalist and bibliophile. Lesser known, perhaps, is that he helped to redefine food in Amer-ica by introducing and popularizing such dishes as French fries, pasta and even our quintessential comfort food, macaroni and cheese.

Jefferson was a free thinker when it came to food. During the 18th cen-tury, when most American supper tables were laden with meats, Jefferson preferred vegetables and served meat as a condiment or side dish. While many thought tomatoes were poisonous, he used them

in many of his meals along with other homegrown fruits and vegetables.

The big surprise in Thomas J. Craughwell’s fascinating new book, however, is a deal he struck in 1784 with one of his slaves, 19-year-old James Hemings, brother of Sally Hemings. Ac-cording to Craughwell, the bargain was a simple one: If Hemings would accompany Jefferson to Paris and learn the art of French cooking, he would be granted his freedom. In a three-year apprentice-ship, Hemings mastered not only French cuisine, but the language as well.

Whi le in France , Jefferson studied both agriculture and wine-making. When the two men returned to America, they brought with them Champagne, designs for pasta presses, seeds and, of course, the recipe for creme brulee. What Jef-ferson learned abroad, he tried to share with his fellow Americans. His ambitions including see-ing Arborio rice and olive groves flourish in South Carolina and producing our country’s first grand cru wines, at Monticello.

A final thought: If you have a bottle of olive oil in your family pantry, you have Jefferson to partially thank.

CelebratingOCTOBER15-21, 2012

Small Business Week is dedicated to entrepre-neurship. Every year for more than 30 years now, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) or-ganises this thematic week to pay tribute to Canadian entrepreneurs. Events are organized across the coun-try through the Bank’s network of branches and its partners.

One of the challenges confronting small business is employee loyalty. Here are a few suggestions for holding on to this precious commodity:

• Communicate ef-fectively. If you need to lay-off salaried employees for economic reasons, it’s important to tell them it’s

Encouraging employee loyaltynot due to poor work per-formance.

• Stay open to dia-logue. Explain your strate-gy to ensure the continuing existence of the business. This attitude should unite your personnel and moti-vate them to maintain or increase productivity.

• It is essential to talk to employees every time some new event has an impact on your busi-ness’s finances. Proactive communication will stifle rumours and keep people concentrated on their work.

• Always be ready to listen. Facilitate commu-nications from employees

by creating letter boxes for anonymous messages and questions. This will encourage shy or hesitant employees to communi-cate with management. Establishing suggestion boxes is another positive step.

• Ask for help. Invite suggestions from your personnel regarding solu-tions to problems, new customers or even ideas for improving production procedures.

• Reinforce positive behaviour by promoting employees or giving them extra days off. Never tol-erate negative behaviour within the business.

It is essential to talk to employees every time some new event has an impact on your business’s fi nances.

The Business Develop-ment Bank of Canada (BDC) invites you to celebrate the success of small businesses in Canada during Small Business Week. This year, the theme is “Your dream, your business, your pas-sion”, and the events revolv-ing around this theme will honour Canadian business people.

Every year for the past 30 years, BDC has organized Small Business Week to pay tribute to Canadian entrepre-neurs, creating opportunities for them to talk to leading business experts, exchange innovative ideas, share suc-

cess stories and participate in special events organized across the country.

Small Business Week was inaugurated in 1979 when branches of the BDC in British Columbia’s Lower Fraser Valley, pooled their resources to organize busi-ness management training sessions during one special week targeted at entrepre-neurs in the area. This initia-tive was a great success and resulted in the participation of all BDC branches across the province the following year. Finally, in 1981, the BDC launched Small Busi-ness Week on a national

scale. Since then, this event has increased in popularity every year.

“Your dream, your business, your passion”

The chosen theme for this year’s Small Business Week will celebrate the energy and efforts of en-trepreneurs of all ages and recognize their contribu-tion to the strength of the Canadian economy. For the BDC, the expansion of the Canadian economy depends to a large measure on these entrepreneurs; people full of ideas, aspirations, goals and drive, and the innovative businesses they set up.

Inspirations



There is no denying the progress Canadian women have made in fi lling posi-tions of power over the de-cades, whether in business or politics. During National Business Women’s Week

So many victories behind us, so many challenges to comelet’s not lose sight of the fact that these hard won advances remain fragile. Let’s not forget that there is still plenty of resistance to fair female representation in certain spheres of activity.

Before 1918, women in Canada didn’t even have the right to vote in federal elections!

Since then, they have not ceased to take huge strides in their quest for equality in education, in personal and legal rela-tionships, and in business. But many more challenges remain. In parliamentary representation, the numbers are low: women made up 25 percent of the windfall in the 2011 federal elections, but it that is still far from the critical mass target of 30 percent. This dismal rate

puts Canada far down the list of women’s representation in world parliamentary in-stitutions around the world.

Another place where the glass ceiling continues to prevent Canadian women from achieving their fair share of power is in board-rooms: women are notably underrepresented on private sector and public boards of directors. In Canada, almost half of the boards of direc-tors of large companies include only one woman, and only six percent include two or more.

Will the increasing numbers of women regis-tering at our universities change this situation over the next few years?

Let’s hope it will, but in the meantime, we must continue to support those who already hold decision-making jobs or who have set their sights on them.

In Canada, almost half of the boards of directors of large companies include only one woman, and only six percent include two or more.

While business wom-en have come a long way, it wasn’t all that long ago that women were more than likely to be found work-ing in offices, retail stores and restaurants. However, today it’s commonplace to see women rivaling men in top-ranking jobs in corporations of every kind, in banking, in elected government positions, in every single known profes-sion and in jobs where we never even imagined we would ever see women!

And let’s not forget all those self-employed women. In Canada, today, approximately 1 in 10 women is self-employed and although they are more likely to work part-time, they are often seen at the helm of small and medium sized companies as well as major corporations. In fact, the Canadian gov-ernment reports that 47% of our small and medium businesses are owned by women.

You may be surprised

No challenge is too great for womento learn that Canadian women now comprise the majority of full-time stu-dents in most university departments. And did you know that the current Gov-ernment has the highest percentage of women in Cabinet in Canadian his-

tory? There are 69 women in the House of Commons - the highest number ever elected.

All those years of tenacity and determina-tion have certainly paid off in paving the way for this generation of women

and even more so for our daughters. From teach-ers, engineers, doctors and researchers, to astro-physicists and astronauts, the sky is the limit; no challenge will ever be too great for the women of tomorrow.

In Canada, today, approximately 1 in 10 women is self-employed.

(NC)— Mentoring helps people to focus on business challenges and arrive at ways to overcome them. For small business owners, research has shown that having a mentor can substantially increase the overall success rate.

Yet, like all relation-ships, a mentoring rela-tionship takes time and work. The Canadian Youth Business Foundation (cybf.ca), an organization that provides mentors to young entrepreneurs, suggests the following key attributes for a successful mentoring relationship:

• TrustBuilt over time, trust

means being able to share sensitive information, in-cluding personal doubts, financials and mistakes. Trust is gained from a mentee by remaining neutral while offering actionable advice. A mentor grows to trust their

How to build a successful mentoring relationshipmentee when they see their advice refl ected upon and applied.

• Mutual respectWhen choosing a men-

tor most individuals chose someone that they respect for some aspect of their personality or success. This has to be ongoing and work both ways. The mentor also needs to respect their men-tee's ideas, experiences and

concerns. Each side needs to respect the other's time and commitments.

• StructureThere should be clear

boundaries in the relation-ship, such as defi ning ap-propriate areas for advice, making sure that communi-cations from both parties are timely; and scheduling times to meet or talk. As well, all meetings should have some

structure so that they can be productive and meet all expectations.

• Active listeningThe skill of listening is

central in creating a positive

mentoring environment. Good mentoring is about giving your undivided atten-tion to the other while you are in conversation. There must be time for both individuals to question the other, and to

offer thoughtful answers.Building the mentor

plan around these attributes should ensure a mutually benefi cial, long-term rela-tionship – where both parties work together for success.

By Samantha Mazzotta

Q: My roommate says that we need to clean the lint fi lter on the dryer after every cycle, while I think it should be cleaned only when it’s full. Can you settle the argument? -- Flo in Harrisburg, Pa.

A: This one is pretty easy to settle. Clean the lint fi lter after every cycle. Why? Because a buildup of lint in the dryer -- even just in the lint fi lter -- can become a fi re hazard. Dryer lint is alarmingly com-bustible and causes some 15,000 laundry-room fi res

each year.Even though the lint

fi lter screen traps a good deal of lint from clothing, some lint particles still pass through the screen and out of the dryer vent. Over time, these particles accumulate in corners and bends along the path that the dryer’s exhaust takes. So it’s not unusual to fi nd lint buildup in places like the junction of the exhaust outlet and the hose attachment, or in the bends and folds of a longer piece of fl exible vent hose.

So in addition to clean-ing out the fi lter after every load, you should clean behind the dryer and clean the vent connections all the way out to the outside vent at least twice a year.

To do this, unplug the dryer and, with a helper, carefully slide it out away

from the wall, enough so that you can reach behind it. You may need to shift the washing machine as well, if the units are located in a tight space (and it seems like they always are).

Purchase a lint brush at your home-improvement store. This can be used to clear built-up lint from the area beneath the lint fi lter, something you can do more frequently if this seems to be a problem.

Clean the vents and hose by detaching the vent hose from the back of the dryer. Use the lint brush and if possible a shop vacuum to clear lint from the vent and the hose. Carefully brush or vacuum out the vent hose. Then, clean the exterior vent -- from the outside in, if need be. Make sure to reconnect the hose securely

to the vents on either side.A fi nal tip: If the ex-

haust hose or pipe is made of white vinyl, replace this material as soon as possible with fl exible metal pipe. Vinyl in particular is no longer permitted for dryer exhaust in building codes.

HOME TIP: Wash your dryer’s lint fi lter in warm soapy water every few months to clear built-up fabric softener from the screen.

• When you’re in a hurry, dry erase markers and permanent markers sometimes look the same. Ever grabbed a marker to write a note on a dry-erase white board and found that it wouldn’t wipe off? To remove permanent marker from a white board, try using a pencil eraser. Rub lightly on the marker areas only, working from the out-side in. It should come off.

• Rusty bicycle han-dles can be unsightly and a pain. Make a paste of salt and lemon juice (3 parts salt, 1 part lemon juice),

and use it to rub the rust away with a dry cloth.

• What will you do with all that candy from trick-or-treating? Make your holiday cookie plans now, and you can freeze some for later baking use.

• “If you have maga-zines or books you have fi nished reading, perhaps you’d consider donating them to local seniors cen-ters. Look in the yellow pages to see if there are any near you. Often, the seniors are grateful to have new

reading material.” -- T.C. in Florida

• Many more of us nowadays are using reus-able fabric shopping bags. A few cities have banned the use of plastic bags for retail shops. These fabric bags are much better for the environment, and can hold a lot more groceries per bag. One thing many people forget to do is wash them. You can take out the plastic insert (if there is one) and toss the bags in the washing machine. Hang to

dry, and you’ll be carrying around a much cleaner bag!

• To sharpen scissors, fold over several layers of aluminum foil and cut into strips.

Career Opportunities

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: Please give me in-formation on Alzheimer’s disease. I am very active. I would appreciate anything you can tell me about this illness. -- H.N.

ANSWER: Alzheim-er’s disease is the No. 1 cause of dementia. Demen-tias are illnesses that lead to progressive loss of mental function. With Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss is prominent, especially loss

of memory for the recent past and a loss of the ability to retain new information in the memory bank.

Alzheimer’s patients have great diffi culty fi nd-ing even simple words to express themselves. They become lost in familiar places. As the illness pro-gresses, they fi nd it diffi cult to perform simple tasks, like dressing themselves. Judg-ment becomes poor. In sum-mer they might wear clothes suited for winter. Numbers lose all meaning to them. Frequently, they become confused and suspicious. They no longer recognize the faces of close family members.

The brains of those with Alzheimer’s shrink because brain cells are lost. With microscopic examination

of an Alzheimer’s brain, deposits of amyloid, a pro-tein material, are seen. They look like lumps of lava from a volcano, and they pre-sumably kill off brain cells and block communication between them. Tangles of another protein called tau also are scattered through the brain. What leads to the formation of these proteins is as yet unknown.

No medicine cures Al-zheimer’s disease, but some medicines slow its progress. Three medicines increase the brain’s supply of ace-tylcholine, a chemical mes-senger that permits brain cells to communicate with each other. Those medicines are Aricept (donepezil), Exelon (rivastigmine) and Razadyne (galantamine). Namenda (memantine) is a

fourth medicine that works in a different way.

The booklet on Al-zheimer’s disease discusses this prevalent illness in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 903W, 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: As a child, my mother made me drink eight glasses of water every day. She said water fl ushed out poisons. Does it? -- B.D.

A N S W E R : N o , it doesn’t. The average, healthy person can let thirst be the guide to the need for

fl uid. All fl uids count, not just water.

I am positive I will hear from people who say I should mention the diuretic effect of some fl uids, but there actually is a net gain of fl uid to the body even from drinks that encourage urine production.

***DEAR DR. DONO-

HUE: I read your article on osteoporosis, as I have it. I was put on Actonel (risedro-nate) by my former doctor. My new doctor had me switch to Fosamax (alen-dronate) when it came out as a generic. This doctor says you must take vitamin D and calcium also. Are they necessary? -- B.G.

ANSWER: They are necessary. They work

Alzheimer’s is No. 1 cause of dementiahand in hand with osteopo-rosis medicines. Calcium is the mineral needed for strong bones. Vitamin D enhances the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract into the blood. Not having a supply of these two is like trying to build a sandcastle without sand.

***Dr. Donohue regrets

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.
