If you want to make changes to your home or lifestyle, considering feng shui is one option that could be exactly the change one needs.

Feng shui is an art and a lifestyle that means coexist-ing in an environment that is balanced and harmonious.

As Nadene Hagen explained, “Feng shui is a study of art and science that allows one to achieve (balance) by applying basic concepts and remedies to specific everyday chal-lenges.”

She was at the Estevan Public Library Sept. 24 leading a seminar on the subject that was attended by a number of locals. Hagen is a feng shui con-sultant at Home and Land Feng Shui in Regina, and when she means everyday challenges, she means ev-

Applying ancient Chinese practices in Estevan’s landscape

erything from a spiritual, emotional and physical sense to fi nancial harmony.

Hagen said though, she was intrigued by feng shui beforehand, her “journey” didn’t begin until 2008 when her newly-born son wasn’t sleeping very well.

“I found the sub-ject fascinating and implemented these new remedies in my own life,” she said. “I could see and feel immediate results. Our son also started sleeping through the night again. At this point I thought maybe this is a coincidence.”

But maybe not, she also thought.

“Could it really be due to feng shui and the direc-tion he was sleeping in?”

Feng shui has been practised in China, where it originated for thousands of years. The ideas have been brought to the West and Hagen noted that while it is taking off in places like Vancouver and Calgary, it is still being introduced to many parts of Saskatch-ewan.

“Saskatchewan is on the tail end of an up-and-coming trend,” she said. “I believe it is just getting started here and we will be hearing much more on the

subject in the near future.”Part of spreading the

word is to get into local centres of learning. The presentation at the library

was her fi rst, but she hopes to continue speaking.

Kate-Lee Donohoe, the Estevan library’s branch manager, said it’s important for the library to hold more than events centred around literacy. The library is a place to learn all sorts of things and she noted that everybody has different hobbies and interests.

“If you want to learn something new, you go on the Internet or watch TV,” she said. “Or you can come to the library and talk to somebody face to face.”

Hagen focused on the classical and western feng shui during her seminar at the library. Basic concepts of ch’i and sha energy, ying and yang, the bagua and the nine guas, includ-ing career, spirituality and wealth among others, were

all explored.Hagen said she is very

in tune with her surround-ings and feels energetic shifts from one environ-

ment to the next. “Have you ever

walked into a space and had a warm comfort-able feeling, like you never want to leave? This space is likely in balance and has posi-tive chi or energy. On the other hand, have you ever felt a sense of

urgency to leave the mo-ment you step foot in the door? What you are feeling is the negative chi associ-ated with that environment, and this space is likely out of balance and has poor feng shui.”

Having an open mind and open heart is neces-sary in making positive life changes through feng shui, said Hagen, and it’s important to know what you’re doing before implementing any of these remedies, as it is easy to over or under feng shui an area. This could lead to more challenges and could “counteract” itself. She said there is a lot of information out there, but not all of it is accurate, adding that a cred-ible and trustworthy source is essential to making sure things are done right.

Cheers to the Missoula Theatre for doing a bang up job this weekend with the Alice in Wonderland production.

Cheers to the Estevan Triple Threat Theatre group for taking on a live theatre production during diffi cult times to raise community spirit and money for worthy causes.

Cheers to the recycling in Estevan! Forward thinking in an eco-friendly direction is cool. They have my support.

Jeers to the Estevan Police Service members who fail to sweep up broken glass after they investigate a traffi c accident. Police in other centres I lived in, Regina and Edmonton, always swept up after a collision.

Jeers to the inconsiderate people who fi nd it necessary to stand immediately outside Spectra Place doors to smoke.

Jeers to those people who feel they don’t have to stop at the STOP sign when exiting Sobey’s parking lot onto Petterson Drive. I wonder if they all run the red lights, too?

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 Page 3

Time is everything for the world of chartered planes, and when time is an issue, there is one way to cover a lot of prairie ground in a short time.

Good Spirit Air Ser-vice is a charter airline that operates out of Yorkton, but provides fl ights to and from the Estevan Airport when requested. They’ve been in business for seven years and own three Beachcraft King Air B200 planes that seat eight passengers.

Phil De Vos and Carol Yaholnitsky had one of their planes on display at the Es-tevan Airport’s open house on Sept. 24, trying to get the word out that they provide a service available to anyone in the Estevan area. De Vos said there are a lot of people, particularly in the energy industry, whose time is very important.

Bringing in labour from out of province is something they do as well.

“If a company called us to say we want you to do a regular run, or just one trip, or many, many trips to Calgary to pick up our people and bring them back and forth, that’s why we’re here,” he said.

Yaholnitsky stressed that they are a charter service, so it’s very specifi c. They can do a schedule where they take people from Estevan to Edmonton and back every two weeks.

“What we are primarily after are the big companies, the executives, where time is money,” said De Vos. “For some people it’s very hard to understand the difference between driving four hours in a car and doing that same trip in 30 minutes in a plane and paying as much money. For the busy executives of the world, and our politicians as we’ve recently seen, time is important.”

While on the planes, pas-sengers can work with laptops and cellphones, or if they’ve already had a busy day, De Vos said they can sleep in the comfortable cabin.

“Sometimes you have to have that little business meeting prior to getting to a business meeting,” added Yaholnitsky. “You have your few minutes (in the plane) where you can discuss what you need to.”

The service isn’t just for businesses. De Vos noted that they fl ew a group of people in for the Elton John concert.

“It was kind of nice because it was a weekday concert. So you can go, you enjoy, you’re not driving, and you’re not tired and then you can get up and go to work the next day. The level of productivity is not lost to your company.”

He said that their service is not just for the “super wealthy,” but is great for

Good Spirit Air Service has three Beachcraft King Air B200 planes and each seat eight passengers. The airline out of Yorkton notes a fl ight from Yorkton to Winnipeg is just under an hour.

Carol Yaholnitsky and Phil De Vos stand beside their chartered airline’s gleaming white bird. Their company charters fl ights in and out of most airports by request, including Estevan.

groups.“Let’s say you were

gonna go in, and you could possibly get tickets to a (Winnipeg) Jets game, or if you fi nd eight (with season tickets), and they’re all going to the same game, we can put them on here, fl y them into Winnipeg, go to the game, and when the game’s over we put them back on, bring them back here, and they can go to work the next day if we’re talking about a mid-week game.”

Yaholnitsky said if an anniversary is coming up, the couple can get some of their friends together and have dinner and a concert in Saskatoon.

“It may seem a little extravagant, but I think our world is getting to be ex-travagant,” she said. “We’re wanting more and more and more.”

They fi nd there are also a lot of people who have medical appointments to see specialists in Saskatoon, Edmonton or Winnipeg. They have taken advantage of the air service as well.

“By the time govern-ment pays for them to drive from Point A to Point B to see the specialist, it could be a day and a half. When you put it all together, we can take them to their appointment, and they can come back the same day and see their families, depending on the doctor, of course,” said De Vos.

When time is money, it’s all about saving time. He said it can be diffi cult to get people to understand that, but time is very important and has a cost as well.

Good Spirit has four

captains and two fi rst of-fi cers to man the cockpits, and Yaholnitsky said they are probably going to be hiring more because the company is growing right now. The airline also has a hangar in Flin Flon, Man. They con-sistently fl y from there up to the uranium mines.

They also have all the pa-perwork in order to fl y to the United States, and the com-pany boasts a fl ight duration from Yorkton to Minneapolis

of just over two hours. They will fl y to any airport that is large enough to allow for their planes to land and take off, but those are their only restrictions.

The aircraft have pres-surized cabins, with cruising speeds of 300 miles per hour and a service ceiling of 35,000 feet.

Good Spirit’s website is www.goodspiritair.com, and fl ight requests can be made there.

Jordan BakerThoughts From

My Fingers

It would be more than a decade ago now that I listened to speaker Dr. Lowell Catlett, a futurist and economist from New Mexico State University.

It was one of those presentations that left a rather lasting mark with a then much younger journalist.

Catlett tagged his presentation, “The Future is So Bright You’re Going to Need Shades.” That was heady stuff coming from anyone in an era in farming not many years removed from tractor cara-vans slowing highway traffic in support of calls for more money to save farms, and neighbours rallying at farm-gate protests to prevent foreclosure auctions.

Catlett saw a brighter future for farm-ing based in large part on biotechnology. He foresaw technology-adding attributes that would create exciting, higher value markets for many farm crops.

Certainly we have seen some of that occur. Biotech canola has certainly changed that sector in terms of production as well as opening some markets, but that is only the tip of the iceberg.

Catlett, the futurist, talked about the potential to completely push the boundar-ies of biotechnology. While many might

cringe at the thought, he spoke of the possibility of goats altered on the genetic level in order to have what would essen-tially be cheetah skin. The endangered big cats were hunted to near extinction for their fur skins, and farmers could cash in on that demand without further threatening the cats.

That may scare some, and excite some, but at that time it was a rather amazing vision of the possibilities, and even today while remaining more science fiction than fact, the growth of biotech science suggests it could still be reality, probably sooner than we expect.

Perhaps less Frankenstein-esque than cheetah-goats is the idea farm crops can be utilized in ways not related to feeding people or livestock.

Here in Saskatchewan, farmers are aware of some of those efforts. A few

years ago agriculture publications cov-ered efforts to use oats in the make-up sector.

More recently Ed Krol, a University of Saskatchewan associate professor at the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, has been looking at the potential of using flavonoids found in apples, onions and various other plants in sunscreen.

The idea of components within farm crops having higher value than the whole grain for food is hardly a new thought, but as populations continue to balloon it becomes a scarier concept as food pres-sures are only going to grow until the world somehow comes to grips with how to put the brakes on population expansion.

No one wants to begrudge farmers markets that pay more, but whether it’s Catlett’s goats, or apples for sunscreen, it could take food out of the reach of more people. The poorest of the world already struggle to afford food and that situation could easily worsen if farm produce heads to non-traditional, non-food markets.

Catlett’s vision, along with the re-search that is taking place today, is going to eventually foster a very interesting debate on the value of food for all.

The long season that is the NHL year has begun, and while we are nowhere within sight of the spectacular June climax, there are things to keep fans excited.

There isn’t much excitement in train-ing camp. It’s really just practice and to quote Allen Iverson, “We’re talking about practice. We are not talking about the game, when it really matters. We are talking about practice.”

Practice doesn’t matter to fans, and that’s all training camp is.

Then there are preseason games, and they are also pretty meaningless for every-one who isn’t using those games to earn a job and living for the next eight months. That means me and everybody who is watching hockey games instead of playing them right now.

All fans really have to care about right now is fantasy hockey. Fantasy drafts have been happening for the last couple of weeks and will continue until the start of the season on Oct. 6.

Fantasy leagues are made up of a wide range of people, but every league has the same mix of characters.

First there is the guy who doesn’t show up to the draft, which is typically done online, though I’ve done them in person as well. Mr. No Show’s team is set to au-tomatically pick the highest ranked player

Which fantasy hockey team owner are you?

available. He always remembers the fantasy league the very next day when he starts of-fering trades because of his dissatisfaction with his team. Two days before the draft the Mr. No Show in my league asked for the time of our draft to be changed to 75 minutes later, which we did to accommodate him. His truancy was particularly noted after that.

Then there is Sleeper Pick. This guy goes deep into the ranked players early. When there are players still available who consistently post 50 or 60 point seasons, he’s drafting some young stud who was never on anybody else’s radar and who he could have taken as a last pick. That player will always be available on waivers come November, once Sleeper Pick gives up all hope.

Next up is the Surgeon. The Surgeon has done his research. This guy has followed training camp and the preseason like a dog follows his tail. He has the whole draft mapped out and picks his squad with preci-sion and logic. He’s been following blogs

for weeks and anything new that comes up on the Rotowire gets immediately sent to his phone. The Surgeon tends to overthink all of his decisions. The time may expire for his draft selections a couple of times before he can make a pick.

There is always someone who wants everybody in the draft. Mr. Popular is disap-pointed after every single pick that’s made in the fi rst fi ve rounds. Whenever a player is picked, he’ll say, “Ooh, I wanted that guy.” Well, of course you wanted that guy. This is a fantasy draft, and the teams are made up of the best and brightest superstars in the league. Somebody else will be available, but it doesn’t matter to Mr. Popular because he wants everybody.

Lastly, there is the Dark Horse. The Dark Horse is usually known by only one other guy in the league, and was invited because he’s unassuming and willing to put up $20 for the league fee. He doesn’t say much or participate in much trading or free agency pickup once the season gets started. During the draft, he has a knack for select-ing amazing players in unlikely places. When he makes late picks, everybody else in the league says, “How was that guy still available?”

I’ve been guilty of a couple of these and even played the Dark Horse, but which fantasy owner are you?

Get Cozy This Winter


With rooms in short supply, and more jobs needing new hands, a new work-camp development is coming in the RM of Estevan.

Summit Living Solu-tions, a company out of Saskatoon, has been cleared by the RM to develop the camp after the proposal was originally rejected by coun-cil because they wanted issues of road access, waste disposal and security. The company came back shortly with a proposal that council

More rooms on the way for Estevan areaapproved.

Peter Molander, presi-dent of Summit Living Solutions, said the issues were addressed without any trouble.

“We worked with the RM on their concerns,” he said. “We were able to iden-tify and address those. As always, you need to be able to do your due diligence and identify if can we do that. It worked out very well.”

The work camp is go-ing to have access to Shand Road, which is what coun-

cil wanted for the camp, and that access solved the problem of waste disposal, said Greg Hoffort, RM ad-ministrator. Security will be on site and done privately by Summit.

The units will house 250 individuals in private living spaces and Molander said they are pretty “up-scale.” The units are about 320 square feet with two living spaces. Each private area is 160 square feet and includes a bedroom, liv-ing room, kitchenette and

bathroom. He said they work

with the energy companies, whose employees are the target for these work camps, to make sure the lifestyle is what they’re after.

“We try to build so that it allows for retention and recruitment (for those companies).”

Summit Living Solu-tions, Molander noted, is not leasing the land but has purchased it, showing good faith that they are here long term.

He said they’d like to do site prep prior to winter, but said he would have liked that to have started “yesterday,” so it’s a pos-sibility things won’t really get started until next spring.

Molander noted Este-van’s shortage of accom-modation, and said there is a lot of opportunity to provide not only temporary housing but multiple-fami-ly housing as well. He said he’s keen to work with the City of Estevan to see what the community’s needs are.

“It’s no use going at something that the com-munity doesn’t want,” he added. “We have to work with the energy and mining clients, and then we can work with the community.”

Molander said his company does offer per-manent accommodation in the form of condominiums and noted that they recently fi nished 14 condos in Leroy. He said he’s excited about speaking with city council and prospect of developing more condos in Estevan.

I’ve noticed the weird-est trend on Facebook lately.

More and more of my Facebook friends have been turning into animals.

No, I’m serious.Every time I sign into

my account, I see that 30 or more of my friends have changed their profi le pictures. There’s nothing unusual about this, but in the past several weeks I’ve noticed that an increasing number of my friends have been changing their profi le pictures to photos of animals or babies.

So naturally I’ve de-

Since when are all of my friends cats?duced that the strangest phe-nomenon is taking place, and the rate of human-to-animal transformations has taken off at an unprecedented pace, and that some of my friends have been experimenting with anti-aging technology, with various degrees of success.

I’m a little bit fright-ened, of course. I really like being a human, and I am starting to fear the very real possibility that I may somehow shift into a cat or some other pet. I really wish someone could explain to me exactly why these changes

are happening. Are they spontaneous? Is it a choice? Do people get to pick the animal they want to be, or is it just chance? And what exactly is the cause? I don’t think it’s geographically related, considering this

program isn’t limited to just once place – I’m noticing this among friends from across the continent.

Plus the baby thing. I’m pretty content being 19 (forever). But maybe some of my friends are having a

tough time accepting their ages, and are experiment-ing with clearly question-able anti-aging methods. Clearly the effects are more Benjamin Button then they likely wanted. In any case, it’s getting weird. It’s a real challenge fi guring out who’s who based on baby profi le pictures. I mean, some of the babies don’t even look like the people they are sup-posed to be.

I just wish that every-one would stop changing into animals and babies. Facebook is so much more confusing when profile

pictures keep changing into unrecognizable beings. It would be so nice if everyone just stayed human/adult and posted pictures of their human selves. But I guess I shouldn’t complain too much— imagine if everyone was turning into scenery?

Tonaya Marr is cur-rently accepting recom-mendations of anti-aging skin products. Her birthday is quickly approaching, and she wants to fi ght off old age as best she possibly can. Please send all suggestions to [email protected]. Thank you for your support.

Fall is a busy season. It’s maybe the busiest three months in the calendar year. Things are defi nitely happening.

Sports are huge in the fall. Hockey is back. The CFL playoff races heat up, and the NFL season has kicked off. Baseball is entering playoffs, the Tour Champi-onship just ended golf’s summer schedule and if you like basketball, well they’re on lockout. But who likes basketball anyway?

If you’re a television buff, ‘tis the season when every network show begins again and you can check out whatever this thing I hear people call Snooki is up to. Or if you’re a nerd like me, fi nd out exactly what happened to Peter in the last episode of Fringe. It seems like he was erased from existence and memory.

The summer blockbuster movie is fun and often mindless, which is great when it’s hot out, but once fall rolls along, those fi lms that I didn’t watch at TIFF begin hitting screens. I would take the fall movie schedule over the summer one anytime.

Everybody knows Christmas is not just a couple of days near the end of December. That stuff starts in the fall. Most of Christmas is over by the time Dec. 21 and the fi rst day of winter, show up. All that’s really left is to eat the turkey.

That all sounds pretty good, except the bit about basketball and Snooki. Is it really enough to make fall better than my go-to best season: spring?

As far as the weather goes, spring is in all ways better than fall. It’s kind of a question of a glass half-empty or half-full. In the fall, tomorrow is always darker and colder than the day that came before. The spring has that great realization one day that there’s still daylight past 7 p.m. In the spring everything is blooming, while in the fall things are dying. Spring is defi nitely the season of the optimist.

Spring has some sporting events of its own. The NHL playoffs and Memorial Cup tourna-ment are obviously noteworthy. The Masters and Players Championship put the world’s best golfers on two of the most beautiful golf courses on the planet. The Premier League could be interesting, but the last seven years have only seen Manchester United and Chelsea win the league. With that kind of predictability, it’s only interesting if you’re English.

Those television shows that began in the fall are now either coming to exciting conclu-sions, or you got bored with them in November and stopped watching.

Fall does seem like a good season, but I just can’t give up on spring yet.

By: Tonaya Marr

I have always loved fall. I think it’s because I was born in the fall, and the season has always meant a birthday party with my mom’s homemade ice cream cake. Plus, it’s hard to hate a season when my

skin fi nally stops burning every time I step outdoors.Seriously though, fall is the best. It isn’t too hot, like summer defi nitely can be.

There seems to be fewer mosquitoes. My favourite sports usually start up. And – don’t tell my classmates ‘cause I’ll get a bad rep – school starts, and I generally enjoy school.

Summer and winter are too extreme for me. So hot. So cold. Windburn. Sunburn. Storms that make it nearly impossible to travel on our beautiful Saskatchewan highways. It’s great for a while, but when the end of August comes around, or the end of March, I’m beyond ready for a change.

Spring is nice, too, I guess. It has all the mildness of fall, which is a fun change. But it’s chilly and often wet. I usually like spring for a couple of weeks, but after I’ve soaked all of my shoes in puddles at least once, I’m ready for the next season to roll on in.

Fall doesn’t lose its appeal, and I think that’s what makes it the best. I can wake up every autumn morning (or afternoon) and be refreshed walking to school. Plus, school is still fun and new in the fall, and hasn’t reached the “burn-out” stage of December.

Unfortunately fall is annoyingly short, and the sunny, crisp days with bright leaves and smells quickly turn into frozen winds and melted mascara of winter. Consider Halloween. Halloween is supposed to be the perfect time to dress up and trick-or-treat (as a child), and when lovely fall weather stretches all the way to the end of October, the planets align and Halloween nirvana is achieved. Of course, most of my Halloweens of my youth involve squeezing my ski pants on under my Princess Jasmine costume and tromping from house to house in snowboots. This type of Halloween is not a fun, fall-time adventure: it’s part of the horror of winter, and serves as another example why winter sucks.

And fall rocks. Yay for autumn.

Is fall really the best season?Susan SohnWelcome

to Real Life

Many or most of you know that my passion is fam-ily. I grew up in a great family and we lived in a wonderful home. Our home was one that was created and spe-cifi cally designed to grow a strong family. With that goal in mind, my parents worked tirelessly to make sure our needs (physical, emotional and spiritual) were met. In meeting our needs, they also made sure that fun was a huge component to our healthy living.

One of my favourite family memories surrounds mealtimes. You see we ate almost every meal together. Meals were a priority in our home and everything, including four kids’ busy schedules, Dad’s work plus running a farm, was bal-anced around that almost sacred time called dinner/supper.

Due to the teaching, training and my experience as a child, this is something I have brought into my family. I recognize how important it was for my family to gather around the table and in hindsight can see the benefi ts from it. Now, with my young family we do just that, we come together, calm down and simply enjoy one another amidst all the crazi-ness life can throw at us.

As a child, at meal-times, we would talk about our days, share the ups, the downs and everything in between. It was also a time where discipline was given. Childhood/Teenage foibles were shared openly and there were no “side deals” going on when it came to correc-tion. The younger children

Pass the Potatoes Please

had the opportunity to learn from the older one’s mis-takes. Being number three child in the family does have its benefi ts! Additionally we learned a lot about manners, what is acceptable and what is not; we also learned the art of communication through engagement and sometimes just politely listening. The table was our family class-room without us knowing it.

As a mother, I have come to appreciate the effort my mother went to in order to get a meal on the table every night. We all know what a challenge it can be. As an example, tonight is one of my busiest nights (in terms of kids’ activities). It is busy because today requires taxi-ing to school starting at 6:30 a.m. for volleyball practice, then another round of kids being dropped off at 8 a.m., followed by two volleyball games after school plus piano and art lessons and then, of course, the home-work. Needless to say, today is my busy day - thankfully the rest of the week is much calmer.

With this in mind, my focus is on dinner. How will I accommodate these schedules and make sure our family comes together around the dining table?

I will make this happen

simply because it is a prior-ity in my life and I know the lasting benefi ts and the unspeakable joy that dinner with my family brings. I will make it happen because this busy day in my week hasn’t caught me by surprise, it’s like this every week and it’s a matter of me being organized and prioritizing. It will happen because on days like this, I choose not to go “gourmet” and push boundaries. No, today will be a soul-food day. It will be a meal that I can pull together with ease and one that will be nutritious and full of good-ness. It will most likely be a family favourite and one that I know my children will gobble down as soon as the dinner hits the table.

So friends, I encourage you to gather your family around the table. If you are doing this already, then well done and please keep it up. If you have slipped and fi nd that you are eating in front of the computer or the tele-vision or perhaps everyone is spread around the house, why not try and bring every-one together? I promise you will enjoy the conversation, you will reconnect and this will be a time in the day you look forward to rather than dread.

Next week I’ll share some of our favourite family room fall recipes. They are yummy, super easy and as always have been tried and tested on our families and have been approved from ages two to 82.

Enjoy your week and pass the potatoes, please!

I had an interesting discussion with North Battleford-based Liberal leader Ryan Bater the other day. The interview was part of a series of discus-sions with the leaders of the Saskatchewan Party, New Democratic Party and Liberal Party on their respective energy policies. Those verbatim interviews can be found in the upcom-ing Pipeline News (www.pipelinenews.ca) next week.

I’ve known Bater for quite a while, back to the days when he used to run the regional economic de-velopment authority in the

Brian ZinchukFrom the Top

of the Pile

Battlefords. He’s a pretty smart cookie.

One point of Bater’s comments had me in-trigued. In response to a question on housing for workers in the oilpatch, Bater said, “What’s hap-pening simultaneously with that is you have a lot of big government proj-ects, as well. You have, essentially, a government spending money and com-peting with the private sec-tor for labour, for materials and use of infrastructure. It would have been better to hold off on the big projects government is working on until things cooled off in

the private sector and do them at a later time when labour and materials are not only more available but cost less.”

It’s an interesting notion. This is precisely what happened in Fort Mc-Murray, but in the private sector. In 2007-2008, the frenetic pace of construc-tion inflated project costs incredibly. The reset of 2009 brought those costs down substantially, and the oil companies learned to pace out their multi-billion dollar projects.

Norway has followed

this concept, to an extent. Its sovereign wealth fund, which has quickly grown to one of the largest in the world, forbids invest-ing oil riches in Norway. Flooding Norway with plenty of cash during good times would have an inflationary effect, reducing the value of all the money overall, and overheating the economy. This is what Bater sees from governments doing lots of infrastructure work during good times.

Saskatchewan, unlike many, if not most jurisdic-

tions in North America, has been faced with a combined labour shortage and housing shortage. The two go hand-in-hand.

Bater is saying that when the private sector is going full-tilt in areas such as the oilpatch, you shouldn’t go building hospitals.

There is some logic to his assertion. Balance things out, so the peaks aren’t so high, and the valleys aren’t so low. However, it is precisely at these busy times when things like new power plants or other infrastruc-ture projects are in highest demand. It is also during good economic times that the government’s coffers tend to be flush, and thus they have the money to spend on infrastructure projects.

For Bater’s idea to

work, governments would need a highly effective crystal ball to get the timing just right; when the economy falls into a slump, build a power plant. But these projects are often years in the plan-ning stages, so it would be rather tough to sync large government infrastructure projects with down cycles. When it comes to power plants, demand growth is greatest when the economy is hot, not when it’s cool. That’s when you need them the most, to cope with growing demand.

Can the government avoid inflating the econo-my with big infrastructure during good times? Doubt-ful. But it’s an interesting idea.

It’s been 18 years now, and Estevan’s Showcase Business Expo appears to be aging well.

Spectra Place played the role of convention centre for the expo, and Michel Cyrenne, executive director for the Estevan and District Board of Tourism, Trade and Commerce, said the space is already booked for next year’s Showcase. As the vendors were fi nishing set-up on Friday evening, he said the new facility has been very accommodating for the businesses.

“At the Lignite Miners Centre (LMC) we really only had one access point, and it was on ground level, which was nice, but here we’ve got multiple access points,” he said. “People can come in from the front. People can come in from the north side, and we’ve got the big bay doors at the east end so it really went quite smoothly. I think it went a lot more smoothly than what we anticipated.”

A lot of the exhibiters showed up on Thursday evening, and that helped to give people lots of time to get organized.

He noted there were concerns from some of the exhibitors with bigger equipment about getting down the ramp.

“They were concerned about getting down that big ramp at the east end, but they manoeuvred through it. That was no problem. The facility itself though; they

The 18th annual Showcase Business Expo was hosted in Spectra Place for the fi rst time on the weekend. Eighty-eight booths were sold for the weekend both inside and out, as close to 3,000 people attended the event.

are impressed. There’s the lounge upstairs that they can hang out in. They’ve liked it. They like the layout.”

Cyrenne said they’ve booked the LMC for next year as well. He said they would like to get more vehicles, like car dealers, RVs, dirt bikes and boats, which they would house in the LMC.

“If we can get enough interest that we could hold it in both facilities we defi -nitely would, but if we’re going with one facility (Spectra Place) is the one.”

Organizers estimate that nearly 3,000 people visited the expo over the three-day event.

There were 88 booths sold for the show, with two businesses that hadn’t shown up by Friday eve-ning. Had they booked more exhibitors, the overflow would have been set up on the ground-level concourse and around the walking track. They did have exhibi-tors outside as well.

For Lester Mack, this was his fi rst time with a booth in Estevan, a city he used to call home.

“I’m in Kindersley, but I’m originally from Este-van, so I wanted to come down and do the trade show. This is my hometown,” he said.

The senior adviser for Serenigy was featuring their coffees and teas contain-ing 100 per cent certifi ed organic ganoderma.

Mack said they go to

shows all over the province and that the shows are vital to their business.

“It’s a good way to get out there and expose yourself to other people and other vendors.”

Ken Sapiak, of V.K. Imports in Winnipeg, said, “The amount of people you meet in one weekend to present your product to them is the best advertising available.”

His company sells natural herbal and aro-matherapy products and muscle and joint sprays, and while this was his fi rst time personally set up in Estevan in 10 years, their rep out of Regina has been coming to Showcase for the last nine.

“This show does an excellent job of bringing the people in. It’s a beau-tiful venue. A brand new facility.”

He and his wife Valerie go to shows and he said it’s the best exposure a business can get.

Mack and his family do about three shows each month, attending events as far away as Alberta. Coming to Estevan is nice a change of pace because he, his wife and his daughter can stay with relatives for a break from hotels and camping.

Patricia Fichter and Marian Huber were man-ning the St. Joseph’s Hos-pital Foundation booth on Saturday. Fichter said she was very happy with the move into Spectra Place.

“I thought it was re-

ally great. Normally in the other facility, we were not in with the major part of the vendors,” she said. “It’s great now that we’re amongst everybody else. I think we get more traffi c fl ow this way.”

Huber said that for the foundation, Showcase is all about access to people. Hu-ber is a spiritual care practi-tioner and said it’s important for them to do fundraising for the foundation.

Huber said part of their job is to just give out infor-mation so people are very aware of the foundation’s role. Both she and Fichter were happy with the number of people they’d seen in at-tendance on the weekend.

PROVINCIALSASKATOON - A

shortage of doctors is re-sulting in changes to the emergency departments at two rural Saskatchewan hospitals.

The Saskatoon Health Region says emergency services will alternate be-tween the Wadena (wah-DEE’-nah) and Wynyard (WINN’-yard) hospitals.

The schedule will switch every seven days.

The Wadena hospital will take all emergency cases from the two com-munities one week and then Wynyard will do the same for a week.

The move is necessary because there aren’t enough doctors left in Wynyard to provide ER service 24-7.

***REGINA - Saskatch-

ewan says it will partner with U.S. researchers on a controversial multiple sclerosis treatment known as liberation therapy.

The partnership has not yet been fi nalized.

Health Minister Don McMorris says up to 90 Saskatchewan MS patients would be involved in the trial and the province is set-ting aside about $2 million to cover expenses.

Liberation therapy in-volves widening veins in the neck to improve blood fl ow from the brain, although

ERs go one week on, one week offsome studies have cast doubt on whether narrowed neck veins are the primary cause of MS.

Last October, Saskatch-ewan was the fi rst province to pledge clinical trials when it put up $5 million and is-sued a call for proposals.

NATIONALTORONTO - A new

audit shows Canadians are still facing challenges when trying to get information in a complete and timely man-ner from various levels of government.

Newspapers Canada’s sixth annual National Free-dom of Information Au-dit found that Canadians continue to have uneven access to what should be public information. The group represents Canada’s newspapers.

A student audit team found a wide variation in how quickly and completely various levels of govern-ment respond to requests for information.

The team made 354 requests on 40 topics to 11 federal departments and agencies, five provincial departments, 39 municipali-ties and 10 major hospitals.

It found Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and Yukon were the fastest responders and B.C. the slowest.

***MONTREAL - A Ho-

locaust survivor has given a Montreal museum a jacket she was forced to wear while imprisoned, over six de-cades ago, at the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Imy (Irma) Nemenoff-Gellert donated the rare item on Monday, her 97th birthday, in the hope it might serve as a reminder of that dark period in history.

“It was time,” Neme-noff-Gellert said of her deci-sion to part with the item.

“It’s good for people who come to visit the mu-seum to know what hap-pened during the Holocaust — youngsters, especially.”

The Montreal Holo-caust Memorial Centre hailed the item as a rare find because, after the Holocaust, most prisoners destroyed the clothing that was forced upon them.

INTERNATIONALNEWARK, N.J. - A

Can a team hit rock bot-tom twice in one season?

That appears to be the case with the Saskatchewan Roughriders who, according to “new” head coach Ken Miller, hit rock bottom on August 18 in Toronto with a 24-18 loss to the Argos which dropped their record to a league-worst 1-7. That prompted the fi rings of head coach Greg Marshall and offensive co-ordinator Doug Berry with Miller replacing them both with himself. In their next game, the Riders routed Winnipeg 27-7 in the Labour Day Classic after which Miller said “we’ve hit rock bottom and bounced back up.”

Things were clicking along tickety-boo for the Green Giants in the weeks afterwards as they followed up the Labour Day victory with a 45-23 win at Winnipeg and a 30-20 home triumph over the Argos. At 4-7, things were lining up nicely for a run to the playoffs as the Riders hosted 5-6 B.C. this past Saturday, and a fourth straight victory would pull them even with the Lions for third in the West.

But disaster struck. At least, disaster as it pertains to football, as the Riders got

absolutely pulverized 42-5 by their western rivals. It was Saskatchewan’s most lop-sided loss of the season and possibly their most woeful effort as well. The Lions built up a 30-0 lead in the second quarter and were allowed to put it on cruise control the rest of the way.

Thud. Pffffffffft.Rock bottom? Again?

Perhaps.“We got beat in every

area,” huffed Rider lineman Gene Makowsky. “Turnovers, 2-and-outs. You won’t beat many teams doing that. It just didn’t go our way. We tried and it didn’t work. It was going upfi eld both ways. It feels like the end of the world but we’ll come back ready tomorrow.”

It was a devastating blow to the Riders’ playoff chances ... absolutely devastating. The victory for the Lions not only moved them four points up on the Riders for the fi nal playoff spot, but it also clinched the season series for the Lions. This means the Riders have to overtake B.C. to make the playoffs in the West because ending up tied with them won’t do any good.

But what gives? An 18th consecutive sell-out crowd at Mosaic Stadium showed up

for what they felt was a must-win game, and expected their team to play like it was. The Rider Nation did its part. How-ever, what they saw was an unacceptable performance by an offence which committed six turnovers to B.C.’s none. They saw a team that took a-whopping 16 penalties for 145 yards including a fi rst half ejection of Rider cornerback Nick Graham.

“It is a disappointing loss and really we lost our discipline out there today,” Miller said. “We didn’t play with emotion, enthusiasm and effort which hasn’t been our characteristic lately. We have to play a more disciplined game.”

No kidding. The 1-7 start to the season provided a razor-thin margin for error the rest of the way. Miller’s crew is 3-1 since his return with six games remaining in the regular season. Predicting how many wins it will take to make the playoffs is a waste of time if the club doesn’t take care of business on a weekly basis. They are very close to having to run the table which very rarely ever happens - al-though it has.

“We can’t stub our toe again the rest of the way,” Miller advised after Saturday’s game.

They can’t shoot them-selves in the foot again either. Those feet are taking a beating in 2011.

For supplies, you’ll need a power drill (for driv-ing screws), a putty knife, a drywall/wallboard saw, a box cutter or drywall knife, drywall tape (a type of mesh tape), a drywall repair patch (a large, self-sticking mesh that can be cut to fi t), dry-wall compound, sandpaper and matching paint.

If the hole is pretty large -- more than a couple of inches in diameter -- you will need a spare sheet or piece of drywall (also called wallboard in some places), as well as scraps of plywood and drywall screws.

For small holes, less than an inch or two in diam-eter, brush away debris and ease any jagged edges back

Repairing Damaged Drywallinto position. Cut away dangling or sharp edges. Grab a peel-and-stick repair patch, trimming if needed so that the edges extend at least an inch beyond the edges of the hole. Stick in place. With the putty knife, smooth on one coat of dry-wall compound, feathering the edges into the wall. Let it dry and smooth on a second coat. Once that is completely dry, sand the compound smooth, then paint to match the surround-ing area. Note: If you have wallpaper instead of paint, you can patch the wall the same way and then patch with a matching scrap piece of wallpaper.

Larger holes need more support than a plain mesh can provide, so you’ll need to replace the dam-aged drywall. Using a ruler and pencil, draw a square around the edges of the hole, giving about a quarter inch of space from each jagged edge. Next, care-fully cut away the drywall, following those lines. Now you have a clean square to work with.

Next insert those spare plywood strips. These go behind the drywall hole, providing a backing for your drywall patch to attach to. Hold each strip in place and drive a drywall screw

through the drywall about 1/2 inch above the hole and 1/2 inch below.

Next, cut your drywall patch to fi t the hole. It actually needs to be a tiny bit smaller than the hole, about 1/8 inch, so the patch blends better. Press the patch against the plywood backing strips and drive screws through the patch, two at the top and two at the bottom, and into the backing strips.

Finally, blend the patch in. Run mesh drywall tape over the edges of the patch so that it covers the gaps. Then, smooth drywall compound over the mesh tape, feathering into the wall (you don’t have to put compound over the center of the patch). Finish the same way as described for the smaller patch.

HOME TIP: If sanding dzywall compound creates too much dust, try smooth-ing using a damp sponge or wet sander, then let dry completely before painting the area.

So much is new on the eve of the 2011-12 National Hockey League season that the league should consider adding an initial: The NNHL - the New National Hockey League.

There’s a new defend-ing Stanley Cup champion after the Boston Bruins stunned Vancouver in a riotous finish to the old season last June. There’s a new sheriff in town as the retired Brendan Shanahan, a great player and a great thinker, has been given the task of meting out punish-ment this season. There’s a new emphasis on reduc-ing concussion-related injuries, especially since the NHL brass gnashes its teeth every time it watches the Pittburgh Penguins and sees superstar Sidney Crosby sitting in the press box, wondering if he’ll ever be the same again. Wondering if he’ll ever play again.

There are new uni-forms and new rookie flashes (hey, there, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins ... you’ve already got more than enough names, but Oilers’ fans will probably find a

Jets highlight the ‘new’ NHL seasonnew flashy nickname for you fairly soon) and new coaches and new TV deals.

But the biggest of the “new” is really bringing back the old: The Jets are back in Winnipeg.

If this NHL season is remembered for only one thing, it will be the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg and assuming the late, great name from the city’s World Hockey Association days of 1972-78 and the NHL version from 1979-96. Economics of the day forced the Jets to move to Phoenix, where they became the Coyotes, but Jets fans never gave up hope.

Many were ridiculed for that fantasy (“yeah, the Jets will come back to Winnipeg when I win the lottery three times in a row”) but in the spring and early summer of 2011, it all came together.

CBC kicks off the new season with a TV double-header Thursday, Oct. 6, with a couple of classics: Montreal vs. Toronto and then the Crosbyless Pen-guins at Vancouver.

TSN will do the ma-jority of TV hockey again

this year. A regional Jets network will beam almost all their games to fans in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northwestern Ontario. Ratings, if pre-season numbers carry through to the season, will be spec-tacular.

The Jets are not a Cup contender, but they may lead the league in merchandise sales. The new, military look to the Jets’ logo has been con-troversial - but extremely popular.

It all may lead to the NHL doing something else new: Dumping a few sad-sack southern franchises and bringing the NHL to where it belongs: Quebec City, Hamilton ... perhaps even Saskatoon.

The Jets will show the NHL that “new” makes a lot of sense.

• NBC’s Jay Leno:

“Since Rick Perry has been governor of Texas, 234 criminals have been executed. That’s the dif-ference between Texas and California: In California, those criminals would have been given tryouts for the Raiders.”

• Comedy writer Jerry Perisho: Philadelphia Ea-gles backup quarterback Vince Young says he has an imposter who is posing in the community as him. If you suspect you see a Vince Young imposter, ask him to throw a pass; if it’s accurate, he’s a fake.”

• Perisho again: “The NFL sent a memo to all teams warning of fines if players fake injuries dur-ing a game. The memo was prompted by a legal threat from professional wrestling.”

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “Two dozen

players from the 2010 Fresno State footbal l team have been linked to welfare fraud. There are similar stories on CFL teams, except without the fraud.”

• Currie again: “The Cleveland Browns have started 12 of the last 13 seasons with a loss. There haven’t been this many failed openers since I was dating.”

• Reader Don Del-linger, in a question to Washington Post .com columnist Norman Chad: “Now that Tiger Woods appears to be a non-entity on the weekends of ma-jors, do you think he’ll start wearing his signature power-red shirts on Fri-days next year in an effort to make the cut?”

• Ex-Ravens corner-back Chris McAlister says he’s living in his parents’ basement and can’t make his child-support payments, despite playing five seasons into a seven-year, $55 million contract he signed in 2004.

• Comedy writer Tim Hunter, on the oddity of an entire country setting aside a season to celebrate with drinking: “Germany calls it ‘Octoberfest.’ We refer to it as ‘football season.’”

• Blue Jays pitcher Brett Cecil, to Canadian Press, after seriously cut-ting a finger and a thumb in separate kitchen accidents barely 18 months apart: “I’m scared of a butter knife right now.”

• Perry, to wrap up: “Police in Los Angeles caught four people bur-glarizing the home of Manny Pacquiao while the champion was in his native Philippines preparing for a fight. Possible sentences range from 15 months in prison to 15 rounds with Pacquiao.”

If you're like many Ca-nadians, home ownership is your main and largest investment. It's important therefore, to note that some of the building codes in Canada (and around the world) have been updated for the purpose of produc-ing more energy-effi cient properties. A standard,

entry-level house built in 2012 for instance is ex-pected to be signifi cantly more energy effi cient than an entry-level home built in 2006. A more stringent building code also means your builder will have to keep up with latest tech-nology and how to apply it. For example, one of the

Energy efficiency is paramount when renovat-ing, building a new room, or fi nishing the basement. As a result, homeowners are demanding better and more responsible materials than ever before. On the market right now for example is a big development in insula-tion. A product called Nu-

dura Insulation Technology is a system for insulating foundation walls, inner and outer walls, as well as fl at, or cathedral ceilings. This do-it-yourself material is a shiplap (overlap) system of expanded polystyrene (EPS), which allows large sheets of foam to be installed without any gaps for air leak-

Insulation quality excels in do-it-yourself projects

Beware new building codesmore popular choices today is to discard the traditional wood-framed wall con-struction in favour of an in-novative insulated concrete form system. Known as an ICF, the insulated concrete form is now even further advanced by Canadian manufacturer, Nudura. A house constructed with this system (of pre-assembled, interlocking blocks) is reported to be stronger than a house made with wood. It is also more sound resistant, provides greater safety, and delivers energy savings and health benefi ts too. Drafts, cold spots and mould are controlled and homeowners are saving on energy bills up to 50 per cent. More information on this—as well as effi cient ceilings and floors—is available online at www.nudura.com.

age. Take a look in the Home Owner section of www.nudura.com. The material is easy to cut, easy to install, and the performance value is up to R-14. Drywall can then be attached directly to the embedded fastening strip and electrical wiring can easily be installed by a licesed electrician.

There's no need to lose sleep over decorating colour choices thanks to a newly minted relationship between Benjamin Moore Paints, GlucksteinHome, and its founder, the ac-claimed interior designer Brian Gluckstein.

The newest Gluck-steinHome bedding and bath collection now in stores throughout Canada is accompanied by the de-sign maestro's suggested paint colour palette. It is a range of 185 Benjamin Moore paint colours that he has personally chosen to create a cohesive designer look in bed, bath and be-yond in any home.

“Colour plays a vital

role in creating the mood of a home,” said Gluck-stein, who has themed his new collections on six distinct design character-istics: Antiquity, which he describes as a modern approach to traditional ele-ments; Hampton, featuring relaxed tones and casual silhouettes at the beach; Suede, a celebration of deep tones and rich tex-tures with a Zen-like seren-ity; Steel, sleek, polished and very cosmopolitan; Classics, quintessential design choices for any home with a traditional twist; and, Moderns, ur-ban sophistication meets contemporary chic.”

In teaming the bedding

with coordinating paint colour suggestions, the goal is to inspire consum-ers. It's also meant to help demystify what often is the most daunting challenge in design and decorat-ing—making the right colour decision. With such a renowned design expert as their guide, consumers now can confi dently and conveniently achieve a quick bedroom makeover. It's the kind of one-stop decorating solution today's busy homeowners really appreciate.

Updated kitchens and baths are a key draw for homebuyers. They also rank high in return on invest-ment at resale, according to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, who suggests a potential return of 75 to 100 per cent for kitchen and bathroom renovations. This can translate to an added

Kitchen and bath makeovers done right$22,500 to $30,000 on the resale value of your home.

For maximum return on investment, it is important to ensure your upgrades are in keeping with the value of homes in your neigh-bourhood. “I tell people to resist the impulse to over-renovate,” says Sandra Webb, a senior executive

at Royal LePage Canada. “Know the price trends in your neighbourhood and visit a few open houses to see what others in your area are doing. Going overboard on your renovation means you put your investment at risk.”

According to Remod-eling magazine's 2010-11 cost versus value report,

replacement projects have performed better in resale value than other types of remodeling projects, partly because costs are lower to begin with. The U.S. magazine's report cites the national average for a minor kitchen remodel at $21,695 nationally. A sample re-model at this cost includes

replacing cabinet fronts, fl ooring, laminate counter-tops and oven and cook top; installing mid-priced sink and faucet; adding backs-plash and repainting.

The U.S. national average for a mid-range bathroom remodel was $16,634, which included replacing fi xtures, installing a porcelain-on-steel tub, new shower and ceramic tile fl ooring.

Homeowners fixing to sell should lean toward replacement, rather than total renovation. Re-facing cabinets, changing door and draw pulls, replacing fl ooring, sinks, faucets and

countertops, along with a fresh coat of paint, can go a long way in boosting the resale value of your home.

However, Webb points out that an amateur renova-tion can take away from the value of a home, so be sure to call in a professional when the job is beyond the scope and skills of the homeowner.

Concent ra t ing on changing one or two ele-ments can make a huge difference in its appeal to you and a potential buyer. Choose your projects wisely and make sure you renova-tion is in keeping with the price range of homes in your neighbourhood.

Prepare your home for winterWhen the temperature

begins to drop, it is comfort-ing to know your house is prepared for whatever the season may bring. You can take winter planning by storm with a combination of easy prep steps and some longer-term investments that can save you both en-ergy and money. The right steps can also help keep your family safe from the elements.

Here are some ways to make your home winter-ready in three hours or less, and a few that could be well worth a little planning:

Quick and easy• Check all windows

and doors for air leaks,

and seal gaps where air is coming into the home. Use weather-stripping and caulking to seal spaces in and outside of the house to prevent cold spots in the home. Consider using window-sealing kits for the ones that won't be opened during the winter.

• Inspect your roof for worn or broken shingles and replace any as required to prevent moisture leakage.

• Install a carbon monoxide detector near the furnace and test it to make sure it is in working order.

• Prepare an emer-gency kit for unexpected power outages. It should

include water, fl ashlights, blankets, a radio and extra batteries.

• Turn off the water supply to any external

faucets.• If the garage is un-

heated, wrap exposed pipes in insulation so they don't freeze.

ProvincialREGINA - Ken Miller

bristled at the suggestion that the Saskatchewan Roughrid-ers simply came out flat in their embarrassing 42-5 loss to the B.C. Lions on Saturday.

“I’ve watched the fi lms,” he said. “It was not a lack of effort.”

The head coach offered a theory of his own.

“We weren’t playing well collectively,” he said. “For some reason, we were not synchronized.”

The loss to B.C. end-ed Saskatchewan’s three-game winning streak. The Roughriders dropped to 4-8 and are now fi ghting for their playoff lives as they prepare to meet the Calgary Stamped-ers at McMahon Stadium on Saturday.

Canada plays to draw versus Japanthe alleged offences having occurred last March. But Damphousse is also facing six counts of assault against the 40-year-old Henderson. Those incidents allegedly occurred between 2008 and early 2011.

Damphousse is required to return to court Oct. 11 in the alleged case of conjugal violence against him. Pa-quin says negotiations are ongoing and there could be a settlement when the ex-NHL star makes his next court ap-pearance.Both Damphousse and Henderson have pleaded not guilty to all charges.

InternationalBEIJING, China - IOC

President Jacques Rogge on Friday welcomed an inves-tigation by amateur boxing’s

governing body into allega-tions that millions of dollars have been paid to guarantee Azerbaijan two gold med-als in the ring at next year’s London Olympics.

The International Ama-teur Boxing Association (AIBA) said it will look into the allegations made by BBC TV’s Newsnight on Thurs-day that US$9 million from Azerbaijan was paid to World Series Boxing, a franchised league supported by AIBA.

“We welcome the inqui-ry by the AIBA and we have asked the BBC to provide evidence ... we take every allegation very seriously,” Rogge told a news confer-ence after a sports seminar in Beijing.

Since the allegations surfaced, AIBA President Wu Ching-kuo has de-

nounced the BBC claims say-ing they are “totally untrue and ludicrous,” but added he would investigate them.

***MIAMI - Ozzie Guil-

len’s website said he’s join-ing the Florida Marlins, but the post was soon taken down.

The post quoted Guillen as saying he was thrilled to join the Marlins and couldn’t wait to get started. The post went up Monday night, then was removed a short time later and replaced by a blog that discussed Guillen’s departure from the Chicago White Sox while making no mention of the Marlins.

After managing his fi nal game with Chicago on Monday, Guillen announced he was leaving but said nothing regarding another

job. Hours earlier, Marlins manager Jack McKeon said he’ll retire at the end of the season Wednesday.
