Jeers to the young lady who had no children in her vehicle and chose to park in the reserved spot at Walmart anyway. A little courtesy for those of us who need it would be greatly appreciated!

Jeers to the condition of some of the sidewalks that caused me to be hospitalized with an injury. Some are in terrible condition and unsafe.

Jeers to people under the guise of concerned parent/citizen putting others down and acting like their crap doesn’t stink to make themselves feel and appear better than other people.

Jeers to the residents of Bienfait who can’t seem to use a garbage can with a lid. Why would the raccoons ever wanna leave!!

Jeers to that certain hotel that continuously sells alcohol to minors (15/16 year olds). You seriously want to hope these stupid kids don’t kill themselves or someone else!

Jeers to all those people who are dropping off litters of kittens and cats in boxes outside the Humane Society building. We now have a total of 34 kittens to fi nd homes for, and that’s just kittens.

Jeers to a local gas station for being the fi rst in Estevan to go to $1.279 and now again the fi rst to go to $1.299 per litre.

Cheers to Estevan city council and Councillor Moore for bringing attention to the signage for Spectra Place that can save the taxpayers more than $13,000; so much for spending our dollars locally.

Cheers to the Estevan Police Service and the effi cient medical service in Estevan who came to my aid.

Cheers to the people in front of me in the Timmie’s drive thru who keep buying the coffee. I’m not sure who you are, but I thank you.

Cheers to Crushing It for Cancer last Saturday. It was a great time getting through the obstacle course and all for a good cause.

Cheers to the Missoula Theatre and the local kids’ production of The Wizard of Oz. As usual, it was very entertaining.

Following the fi rst red carpet fundraising gala, the group behind the new Choose Life Ministry is going to be spreading its brand and looking for more community partnerships.

The ministry was started earlier this year by Glen Ewen resident Shelley Boyes. The end goal is to set up a treat-ment centre in southeast Sas-katchewan for young women who have struggled with drug abuse, self-harm and other issues like depression and eating disorders. The centre will include counsellors and different therapy sessions for the women who stay there.

The residents will also be encouraged to live a healthful lifestyle and there will be lots of opportunity for them to remain physically active while they heal.

Boyes said she had to idea of starting this initia-tive after experiencing some tragedy in her life and found a group in the United States called Mercy Ministries.

“It’s going to be mod-elled a lot after Mercy Min-istries, but we do have some really good programming in our church for helping people work through ad-diction issues,” said Boyes. “It’s an extremely structured program.”

The fundraiser, held at Living Hope Community Church in Estevan on Sept. 21, brought in $12,000 for the cause. They already have a large portion of land in the very southeast corner of the province, and are looking to

raise $1.2 million to build the facility.

Boyes said they are now looking for partnerships with individuals and businesses.

“We’ll be continuing to promote the ministry,” said Boyes, noting they will be at Showcase this weekend. “We’re actually looking at

having a part-time promo-tions person going out and doing presentations in the community. What we’re trying to do is build the part-nerships with the ministry.”

The partnerships in-volve the partner contribut-ing small monthly donations to the ministry. She said she will also be looking into some grants and funding that her organization may qualify for.

“We have plans drawn up for the home, so once we have the funds in place we’ll have an architect look at those and get them fi nal-ized and then keep going from there.”

She said she was pleased with the response at the fundraiser, which was the inaugural event that she hopes to continue each year.

“I believe it was very successful,” said Boyes. “Everybody seemed to have a really good time. They en-joyed the food. They enjoyed the entertainment, and they were very supportive of the cause itself.”

Boyes said they are in it for the long haul.

“We realize that it might be two to three years before we can put a shovel in the ground, but it will be worth it once we get to that point.”

She also noted there was some interest from attendees about joining the board. For those interested, she said they are looking to have a board of about 10 people who will be meeting each quarter, and more often in the time leading up to an event like last week’s fundraiser.

Those who are inter-ested in a board position may contact Boyes at 306-925-4823.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012 Page 3

A fundraiser for cancer research sent people dodging hay bales, climbing racks and trudging through the bush.

The inaugural Crushing It for Cancer was held north of Estevan in a fi eld that was set up for a more leisurely Tough Mudder challenge. Tough Mudder is an extreme obstacle course event that has its participants dunked in icy water, crawling under barbed wire and getting shocked with high voltage electricity.

Abbey Webber’s ob-stacle course challenged the participants but was all about fun and raising money for a good cause. The event raised about $2,000 and proceeds went to the Saskatoon City Hospital Foundation in sup-port of breast cancer research.

Webber decided to start the event this year because a friend of hers from Eastend, where Webber hails from, was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. Their fathers lived together when they were

younger and were neighbours when Webber was growing up. Another neighbour of hers died of breast cancer about 10 years ago.

“We lived out by Cypress Hills and we didn’t have a lot of neighbours, so two neighbours within 10 years of each other when there’s not that many of us was a lot (to take),” said Webber.

She said she wanted to help and her friend was re-ally impressed by the Breast Health Centre in Saskatoon. She encouraged Webber to do take on some initiative that could continue to make the centre an even better place for women diagnosed with breast cancer.

“To go up to Saskatoon, face that, and go through treatment, it’s such a different environment,” said Webber. “She really just felt like the improvements that they’re making to the Breast Health Centre, I think it really hit home to her. She got attached

to that cause.”Webber is new to Este-

van, but said there is so much generosity in the city, she thought this could be a good way to meet new people and raise some money for a cause that means something to her and many others.

“This race is always something I’ve wanted to try,” said Webber about why she chose the obstacle course.

She wrestled in univer-sity, and some of her old team-mates told her she should try Tough Mudder. She has her family and young children so it’s not easy for her to travel to the Tough Mudder event and take part.

“This is how we ex-ercised when I was a kid growing up,” said Webber. “On the farm, we never would have thought of going on a treadmill. Fitness doesn’t have to be a treadmill. It can be home based.”

The Crushing It for Cancer obstacle course had

participants running through tires, scaling mounds of hay bales and even going low, crawling head fi rst through a hole. That doesn’t even count the natural gopher holes the roughly 30 racers always needed to be wary of. The obstacles were planned and constructed by Webber’s husband, Ryan Hogg.

She said she wanted to make it fun and something that people would want to do.

She would like to host more of these events and is even considering holding one in the winter.

“I’d defi nitely like to do it next year. Now that the dry run has gone really well, I’d like to do it really big.”

It was a little last minute this year, so she is hoping with a little more time to plan, they can go bigger and better next year.

First year a success at Crushing It

Andrea Clausen crawls out the other end of one obstacle on the course that forced racers into a tight spot.

The racers participating in the Crushing It for Cancer challenge start the obstacle course by leaping over some bales before heading into the teeth of the challenge.

Thanksgiving is approaching, where people often refl ect on what they are thankful for. Considering Canadians are some of the happiest people out there, I am refl ecting on why I am happy.

A report by the Centre for the Study of Living Standards found that 92.3 per cent of Canadians are satisfi ed or very satisfi ed with their lives. It doesn’t say what’s wrong with the other 7.7 per cent of the country, but it’s clear to me that those unhappy people are either an aberration or Ebenezer Scrooge descendants. It’s unclear how many of his relatives immi-grated to Canada or how many were recently deported for entering the country under false pretences.

Canadians are second to only Danish people on the happy meter, and I’ve yet to fi nd out what the Danes have to be so happy about. I was going to call over there, but my superiors didn’t want to pay the long-distance charges.

Regina is one of the happiest cities in Canada, outpacing Saskatoon, with 94.3 per cent life satisfaction, almost two per cent happier than Toontown. Of course, that’s not as happy as Quebec City, but who can keep

French Canadians from feeling great?Now to what makes me a part of the ma-

jority of Canadians who are so happy. I hate to blatantly butter up my employer,

or my co-workers, but I am happy about the Mercury. It’s a fun job in a great atmosphere, and that’s not what every newsroom experi-ence is like. It’s just great to have a job that you look forward to going to each day.

The halcyon mood sweeping the country isn’t always front and centre in the national conversation, but it’s nice to see that behind the partisan nature of many Canadians, including myself at many times, we are generally pleased with our lot in life.

Politically, I’m not a conservative, but in a global sense, Canada is doing a pretty stand-up

job, and some credit must go to the minority Conservative government we’ve had the last few years. I may not ever say this again, but Conservative Party, you’ve done a decent job keeping our head above water in the last four years. That’s about as glowing a report card as I’ll ever give them, but it’s sincere.

As much as I love to rag on the Conserva-tives, they could be a lot worse, and in general, the issues we debate here in Canada are trivial compared to other nations.

I was at a wedding at the end of the sum-mer, standing in as the groom’s best man, and upon much refl ection, I am incredibly happy to not be married. Marriage is fi ne, and I expect many of you out there are thrilled to be mar-ried, but no matter how happy I was for my friend, I was certainly just as happy to not be in his shoes.

There are always lots of things we can fi nd that will not make us happy, but it is much better to dwell on the things that put a smile on our face and make us feel good.

What do you have to be happy about? And if you are part of the 7.7 per cent, why the long face?

Some farmers will fall through safety net

Jordan BakerThoughts From

My Fingers

The vision of what government thinks is a good farm safety net and what farmers desire still seem to be decidedly different, not that that is particularly shocking.

But governments keep trying neverthe-less.

Earlier this month, the federal, provin-cial and territorial ministers of agriculture reached agreement on the content of the Growing Forward 2 policy framework for the agriculture, agri-food and agri-products sector, the latest in a long line of government cost-shared agricultural safety nets which all ultimately seem to be lacking.

“The new fi ve-year agreement includes investments in strategic initiatives of over $3 billion for innovation, competitiveness and market development, including a 50 per cent increase in governments’ cost-shared initia-tives. In addition, governments will continue to deliver a complete and effective suite of Business Risk Management (BRM) programs to ensure farmers are protected against severe market volatility and disasters,” detailed an Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada release.

“Just as farmers continuously improve their business practices, so too have govern-ments made adjustments to help Canada re-main a world leader in agricultural innovation and trade,” said federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz in the release. “Growing Forward 2 will help drive economic growth and long-term prosperity through agricultural innova-tion and market development, while also ensuring governments continue to share the risk of severe market volatility and disasters.”

Of course you would not expect Ritz to do less than rave about an agreement he was a signatory too. No politician admits the shortfall within their program.

Even with the Gross Revenue Insurance Program (GRIP) of the late 1980s, which was one of the most maligned farm support programs ever formulated, politicians of the day would have called it the answer to farmers’ needs.

Certainly aspects of the program have to be seen as positive. Even GRIP had its posi-tives. In the case of the Growing Forward 2 initiative, the additional 50 per cent funding for innovation, competitiveness and market development has to be a good thing. There is an obvious benefi t to being innovative, although not all innovation works either.

Pea-based snack chips, flax fibre for manufacturing processes, super-compressed hay bales for export to Japan, and strawboard were all ideas that were innovative and made logical sense but could not make money in the marketplace.

So having government footing some of the bills in exploring new ideas and develop-ing markets is a good place for some taxpayer investment.

But others see fl aws before the ink is even dry on the deal.

The “announcement of the revised Growing Forward 2 Business Risk Manage-ment programs, the cost-shared federal-provincial policy framework, has two signifi cant changes: a loss level trigger for

AgriStability that will make it diffi cult, if not impossible, for most farms to obtain support under the program; and a clear decision by governments to seek out private insurance options to fi ll the gaps in public farm safety net programs,” stated a National Farmers Union release.

In the release, NFU president Terry Boehm said, “from these changes, along with the ongoing destruction of institutional arrangements that have protected farmers, it is increasingly clear that the current govern-ment’s intent is to abandon public support for the agriculture sector, and instead let those with the most market power determine the shape and goals of Canada’s food and agri-culture system.”

He added, “By going along with the federal government’s proposals, provincial governments have also signaled that they are not interested in the vibrancy of the agricul-tural community, nor does it matter to them who produces the food that Canadians eat.”

And therein lies the rub for governments. Farming, by its very nature, is extremely diverse, and becoming more diverse all the time. What works for a salmon farmer in British Columbia may not work for a wheat grower in Saskatchewan, a beef farmer in Alberta, or a potato farmer in Prince Edward Island.

So what does that mean for the latest deal?

Like its predecessors, it will work for many farmers in many situations.

It will also have holes, which means some farmers will need support and will fall through the cracks.

Time will tell just how many holes the new deal has.

The way I see it, if a kid isn’t getting the material in Grade 2, they aren’t going to un-derstand the material in Grade 3.

Obviously there’s the argument that the next grade’s teacher may be able to reach the child better, but I’m going to stick with my answer: Kids who fail should be held back.

If a child is failing his or her classes, having the chance to repeat the material will probably be helpful. And since schools are ultimately

there to see kids succeed and learn, encouraging a child to wait a little longer isn’t the end of the world.

Consider swimming lessons. It took me three tries to pass Level 5 because I hated the front crawl. But eventually I forced myself to fi gure out the stupid stroke so I could move on to the next level. Had I been allowed to continue on to Level 6 it would have made me a worse swimmer in the long run.

One thing that would suck would be being left behind the friends who are your own age. But I’ve seen it happen, and I honestly think that, more than ever, kids have friends outside of their grades and are totally capable of maintaining friendships with people they don’t see every day.

Of course, we live in an age where kids don’t even receive zeros for failing to hand in assignments, so how can we fail anyone, so long as they’re trying their hardest? Because nothing teaches children the value of reliability and the ability to make a deadline like telling them they’re going to get credit they didn’t even earn.

In the world, if a person doesn’t understand something, they have to take a little longer to learn it. You don’t get promoted to a manager position unless you’ve earned the right to be there. People have to work hard to move up ladders. Children should be required to understand the material they’re taught before moving forward a grade. — Tonaya Marr

This is a tough one to answer because there are a number of arguments for and against holding students back when they don’t reach a standard level of success in a school year.

Some people like to treat the school grounds the same way they treat the workforce. The argument is that people who fail at their jobs lose those jobs, so treating students any differently doesn’t teach them any of those tough life lessons they should be learning before entering the workforce.

It’s perhaps a little unfair to treat a 10-year-old the same as a working adult, however. Those lessons are maybe best learned when these students enter the workforce. That’s what those part-time jobs in high school are all about. For me, I developed a work ethic as a young-ster by playing sports more than through my academic activities.

We go to school for different reasons than we work. The responsibilities of work are best taught in those part-time jobs as a high schooler, when you’re saving up to go away to school when you graduate.

If we aren’t treating young students as working stiffs, the other argument is that it’s best for a child’s educational development. Certainly it’s not good to just push a student along who isn’t getting it. In most cases, they will only fall further behind as the years go on.

A struggling student probably isn’t underachieving in all subjects, so some sort of extra education is probably more desirable than a student completing a whole year over again. Whether that means tutoring or extra help from a teacher, I’m not sure.

Even if it means hiring extra teachers who are available for one-on-one sessions that students can be booked into throughout a week, that would probably be cheaper than the cost of sending a child through Grade 5 for a second time.

There are lots of alternative ways to giving students help that don’t mean repeating a whole school year. Repeating a year may actually be Einstein’s defi nition of insanity by having a student do the same thing and expecting a different result. — Jordan Baker

Should elementary students who fail be held back a grade?

I went to Saskatoon last weekend, and despite being a great time fi lled with friends and soccer, it also brought to reality my advancing age.

For those just tun-ing in, I turn 21 on Oct. 8. Unlike last year when I turned the big 2-0, I’m not freaking out that much about adding another year to my life. It’s better than the alternative, after all.

Being that I’m in my fi nal year of my bachelor’s degree, I also don’t expect to be the youngest kid at any party. Gone are the days when I could inno-cently say that I was only 17 and at a university party.

With all this in mind, I was slapped in the face twice last weekend by the reminder that my years are fl ying by.

After a day of watch-ing soccer, walking by the river and a couple of

delicious meals, a friend of mine and I got done up and headed to a house party. The house party, hosted by friends our age, was pretty lame. Everyone was a bit intoxicated when we got there, to the point that they couldn’t fi gure out how to hold their cards, let alone understand the card games we wanted to play.

So my sister Ken-delle, who now goes to school at the University of Saskatchewan, invited us to join her at a party in one of the residential areas. She warned us that the group there would be pretty young, but that we’d know enough people to make it fun.

When we got there, kids – literally, they were children – were being kicked out of the house. We walked past high school kids getting picked up by their parents, and heard

girls wailing that they couldn’t leave until their moms were there. How-ever, undeterred we entered the party.

Now the horrifying part: As we were ushered into the home, a voice from the staircase asked us “hey, are you going to drink all that beer?” Annoyed, we turned around to face one of my neighbours grow-ing up. When I graduated high school, he was only in Grade 9, but here he was, of an unknown level of intoxication, asking me for a drink.

I of course replied that the beer wasn’t mine and that he wasn’t going to be drinking any of it. And also shrieked “What are you doing here? I used to

babysit you!”He laughed, a lot, and

said he couldn’t believe we were at the same party.

I commented that I felt pretty old seeing him out. And the kid said, “Yeah, this makes me feel pretty old too.”

Disgusting! We left that party pretty quick, but not before being invited to the high school after party somewhere in the city. We didn’t attend. We instead went to a social business near my friend’s house...

where we crossed paths with yet ANOTHER kid I babysat while living in Estevan.

I guess I forgot that since I’m growing old, everyone else is too. Can’t say I like seeing them and being reminded of that fact!

Changes to SaskTel’s wireless Internet service will affect rural residents in the southeast.

Darcee MacFarlane, vice-president of corpo-rate relations, was quick to clarify SaskTel is not exiting all of their high-speed services in rural Saskatchewan. They will still be offering their DSL service to about 300 towns and villages in the prov-ince. The roughly 8,000 customers who will be affected are strictly those outside the four-kilometre radius of SaskTel’s central

distribution offi ces.The Crown corpora-

tion will no longer be of-fering their fi xed wireless high-speed service, with

service expiring as of Dec. 31. Originally, their wire-less service was supposed to be shut down by March 31, but the deadline was pushed back to the end of the year. SaskTel custom-ers are the only users in the province who will be affected by these changes.

For most of those customers, there will be an option to switch to the high throughput satellite option. However, that will not be available for customers in the rural Estevan area. MacFarlane said that could change

because they are working with Xplornet, and hoping their “beam” will expand in 2013 to reach the extreme southeast.

The primary option for residents in this area will be the mobile 4G data stick that can be plugged into a computer for Internet access.

The third option is the legacy satellite, which MacFarlane called a “defi -nite last resort,” for cus-tomers.

“We’re (more than) 99 per cent confi dent that the mobile 4G data stick and the high throughput satel-lite will cover the 8,000

customers impacted,” she said, noting there may be a residence or two that won’t receive service through either of those two main options because of the unpredictable nature of wireless.

In June, she said Sask-Tel introduced the high throughput satellite option, and was one they intended to offer as an alternative to the fi xed wireless package they knew they would have to exit.

Level of service is one thing some customers may be concerned about, and MacFarlane said that is something they have heard already.

“The speeds are com-parable, and in fact, you can get higher speeds with our mobile stick, so the speeds are fairly compa-rable,” she said.

The mobile 4G data stick will offer download rates up to 21 megabytes

per second, while the fi xed wireless offered up to fi ve megabytes.

The changes are due in some part to changes in the frequencies as planned by Industry Canada that will allow more mobile services to be offered around the province.

“Switching that band meant Industry Canada wanted one-third of our spectrum back as well, so we had to give up one-third of the spectrum,” she said.

She also noted the technology that ran the fi xed wireless service has been discontinued. They can’t fi nd parts to keep it running, having to go to eBay to scour what they need to keep service around until the end of the year.

MacFarlane said they have heard not all cus-tomers are satisfi ed with having to change, but she said there wasn’t much choice in needing to make the switch.

“Technology has a life span,” she said.

The opposition New Democrats sent out a press release disparaging the governing Sask. Party for failing to stand up for

rural residents in the face of these changes.

Buckley Belanger, the NDP critic for SaskTel, said in the release, “The Sask. Party is hurting rural businesses, students and residents by leaving them with limited private options that offer usage limits, spotty service and expensive service plans.”

The 4G mobile service does have an eight gigabyte maximum monthly down-load cap.

Belanger added that Industry Canada changes interfering with the fi xed wireless service were known internally in early 2011 but notifi cation to residents didn’t occur until September of this year.

A friend stopped by the other day, and over coffee the topic came up of the possibility, yet again, of Quebec leaving.

With the election of the Parti Quebecois recently, it’s the fi rst time in a long time this subject has had much meaning in this country. But if you read the English-Canadian press, you might think the overall response is “meh.”

We concurred. Our discussion led to the con-clusion “don’t let the door

hit you in the rear on your way out.”

Maybe it’s the spoiled rotten nature of the Quebec students’ protests. They were successful, after all. One of the fi rst things Pau-line Marious did as premier was give into their infantile demands that a few hundred dollars tuition increase was untenable, and their never-ending tuition freeze should indeed never end.

Maybe they’d like to buy cars at 1990’s prices, too?

We, as westerners, see this as a perfect example of Quebec’s independence demands writ large. They want their cake, eat it too, and THEN have us pay for it.

Things have changed since the 1995 referen-dum. Specifi cally, we’ve seen entire nations, proud, strong nations, brought to their knees by the fi nan-cial upheaval of the last few years. These nations - Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Greece - all have been in serious trouble. Even the mighty U.S. has been stag-gering like a punch-drunk boxer after one-too-many rounds. I spoke to someone this week who was able to buy a house in a gated com-munity in Texas on a golf course for just $95,000. They even threw in a golf cart. That’s how bad things are down south.

Greece is on the brink. It seems no amount of bailout will be able to save it. Germany has said

enough is enough. Greece will likely have to leave the European Union. Its restored drachma will be next to worthless.

This is precisely where Quebec is heading if it should leave Canada. Des-titution.

Without the billions of dollars in equalization that the rest of Canada has been shovelling across the Ottawa River into Que-bec’s coffers, the Quebec National Assembly would be doing exactly what Greece’s government is doing now - cutting ev-erything. Pensions? Chop. Wages? Chop. Social pro-grams? Chop.

Make no mistake, look to Greece, and that is what an independent Quebec will be in short order.

Is this why Quebeck-ers only gave Marois a slight minority? Enough to throw out the Liberal bums, as it were, but not enough to do anything?

It’s like the whiny teenager who wants things their way, now. Fine. Have it your way. Go out your

own and pay your way. But be sure of this - you leave, and you will indeed pay your own way.

That’s a scary propo-sition for that teenager, when they are about to lose their car, their allowance, their cushy weekends at the family cabin. They’re going to have to make a living flipping burgers, living in some dank hole of an apartment and walk or take the bus.

Except it will be worse for that. Much worse.

Students are banging pots and pans over a few hundred bucks. Imagine their reaction when tuition triples. Imagine the reac-tion of the Quebec Pension Plan recipients when their monthly cheques are cut by a third. It won’t be a debat-ing point. It will be reality.

So be careful with that door, Quebec. If you open it, you may regret it a lot more than you realize.

The fi ne arts of callig-raphy and cartooning will be featured workshops at the Estevan Public Library on Saturday, Sept. 29.

Local artist Danita Stallard will provide the direction for those wanting to develop creative pen-manship skills in a morn-ing session as part of the library’s acknowledgement of the third annual Culture Days which are designated as being between Sept. 28 and 30.

Over 800 communities have signed on for more than 7,000 special cultural activities to mark this spe-cial event.

“Culture Days presents

me with an extraordinary opportunity to share my passion and interact di-rectly with the community in which I practice my art. It’s a unique way for me to attract new participants in a really engaging way. I can share the creative process of my art so members of the public are able to fully appreciate and understand what is involved,” said Stallard.

The fi rst session that focuses on calligraphy is entitled From Scribbler to Scribe and it will begin in Conference Room A in the library at 9 a.m. and will conclude at noon. Stallard said participants will revive

the fading art of “snail mail” by producing illuminated envelopes, ornamented letterheads and funky fonts.

From 1 to 4 p.m., reg-istered participants will en-gage in learning cartooning skills in the Chibi Me class. Participants are invited to bring a photo of their family or friends to provide a base for caricature drawing or to develop a character for a comic strip. There will be a focus on the manga, anime and chibi styles of cartooning. Novices to master cartoonists are in-vited to join in the fun, but the classes are designed for adults and teens from the age of 14 and up.

It is clear that if the Saskatchewan Roughriders are going to get back to the CFL playoffs in 2012 after a one year hiatus, it’s up to Corey Chamblin to lead them there.

The first year head coach snapped his club out of the doldrums in a big way last week by guaranteeing Calgary running back Jon Cornish would not rush for 100 yards when the two teams met Sunday at Mosaic Stadium.

It was a brash, bold statement by the rookie sideline boss, but it was much like his early-season bravado which guided the

team to a 3-0 start. How-ever he pulled his horns in around the start of August, and the club stumbled into a stretch where they lost six of their next eight games.

Last week’s brazen guarantee caught every-one’s attention across the CFL and may have even served to fi re up both teams. To say the Stampeders were unimpressed by the comment would be an un-derstatement.

But they were unable to do anything about it Sunday afternoon as Cornish was limited to 67 yards rush-ing in a 30-25 Roughrider victory. A ferocious Rider

pass-rush served up fi ve sacks and knocked starting Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn out of the game.

Are the Riders a better team than Calgary? That’s a tough call, but they cer-tainly were on this day. The win upped Saskatchewan’s record to 6-6, but they still trail the second-place

Stampeders who fell to 7-5. These teams won’t meet again until a potential playoff showdown as the Stamps won the season series 2-1.

Lost in the shuffle on Sunday was the return of quarterback Darian Durant who missed the team’s Week 12 loss in

Montreal with a hip injury. He was sensational against Calgary, tossing two touch-downs and wasn’t respon-sible for any turnovers.

“I told the guys I wanted them to play tough and we got it,” Chamblin said after the match. “It was a team effort but Darian Durant looked as good as he has in a long time and I was proud of him. He gave it up today. It was a great team effort in all three phases.”

So now we’re left guessing what Chamblin has up his sleeve in the way of motivational tactics as the team enters the 2012 stretch drive. The Riders

have six games remaining and none of them will be easy. Again, it will be up to Chamblin to push the right buttons and it begins with a visit from the 9-3 B.C. Lions this Saturday night in Regina.

“Guarantees?” Cham-blin quizzed after the game. “I guarantee we’ll play a football game here next week against the BC Li-ons.”

What happens between now and then will be very interesting.

(Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)

Chamblin must lead the way

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you love being the focus of at-tention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Caution” contin-ues to be your watchword this week, as a former col-league tries to reconnect old

links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Making a good fi rst impression is important. Revealing your often hid-den sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking that Cancer Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of complaining about your problems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A widening distance be-tween you and that special person needs to be handled with honesty and sensitiv-ity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratula-tions. Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that on-the-job problem.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You

might surprise everyone by being unusually impul-sive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled envi-ronment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or profes-sional relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (No-vember 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resentment among

family and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by making more time for them.

CAPRICORN (De-cember 22 to January 19) Concentrate on completing all your unfi nished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re right to try to help col-leagues resolve their heated differences. But keep your objectivity and avoid show-

ing any favoritism ‘twixt the two sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your per-sonal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations.

BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encour-agement. You would make an excellent counselor.

The 2012 season in the Canadian Football League is shaping up as one to remember for Jon Cornish of the Calgary Stampeders.

The New Westminster, B.C., native, who played his collegiate ball at Kansas but was never drafted by a Na-tional Football League club, has been the talk of the CFL through the fi rst half of the season and is zeroing in on some end-of-season awards.

Top Canadian? The league offi ce can almost start inscribing his name on the trophy. He won the weekly top-Canadian award three consecutive times, which gives him a huge leg up on the competition in that category.

Most outstanding play-er? Has to be considered. Cornish leads the CFL in rushing yards and will al-most certainly become the fi rst back to the 1,000-yard plateau after his 67 against Saskatchewan Sept. 23 gave him 947. His rushing total is about 130 yards ahead of the No. 2 back, Kory Sheets of Saskatchewan. No Canadian has won the CFL rushing

Calgary’s cornish having unforgettable yearcrown since 1988 - almost a quarter of a century.

Grey Cup champ? Why not? The Stamps are cer-tainly in the mix in the West, with Cornish and receiver Nik Lewis leading the offence and a solid 7-5 record through 12 games of the 18-game schedule.

Cornish told Allan Cameron of the Calgary Herald that he’s all busi-ness on the fi eld. There’s no such thing as friendly banter between the lines once the game is under way, he said. “I play my best when I don’t engage with the other team,” he told Cameron. “I have absolute appreciation for the things other teams are trying to do. There’s nothing disrespectful. But on the fi eld? It’s not my prerogative to interact with the other team. I have goals far grander than any single game, so why get caught up in something like that?

“They can tackle me and say whatever they want, and I’ll just get up and walk away.”

It’s all adding up to 2012 being a season Cornish

won’t soon forget. Neither will the CFL record book.

NationalEDMONTON - Edmon-

ton’s mayor says if the Oilers are serious about trying to relocate the NHL team to Seattle, good luck drawing fans in the Pacifi c Northwest.

Stephen Mandel, in a TV interview Tuesday, says Oilers and owner Daryl Katz (pronounced CATES) would be hard-pressed to duplicate the rabid fan interest and sell-out crowds in the Alberta capital.

The Oilers are the top sports draw in the Edmonton market, but Mandel says in Seattle they would be fourth or fi fth.

The city and the Oilers are currently in a last-ditch ef-fort to agree on a funding deal

for a new downtown arena.Oilers management, in

a news release, says it has to look at other options like Seattle because talks on a new rink in Edmonton have been going on for four years with no resolution.

But Mandel says the two sides had a deal a year ago; the new impasse is the result of recent demands from the Oilers for millions of dollars more in concessions from taxpayers.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman downplayed the threat of the Oilers mov-ing south of the border.

***BAKU, Azerbaijan -

Canada is a win away from the quarter-fi nals of the FIFA

under-17 women’s World Cup.

Summer Clarke of Rich-mond, B.C., scored to lead Canada to a 1-0 victory over Colombia at Shafa Stadium on Tuesday, leaving the Ca-nadians second in their group behind Nigeria.

Clarke took a centring pass from Nichelle Prince of Ajax, Ont., to score in the 51st minute.

Less than a minute later, Clarke thought she may have had a second goal when she broke into the box and put the ball past the goalkeeper. The referee ruled the goal was offside.

Canada had another excellent chance in the 61st minute when Nicole Loncar

of Brampton, Ont., hit the crossbar from just outside the Colombian box.

Clarke, who was named player of the match, has seven goals in seven FIFA/CONCACAF matches and is Canada’s all-time under-17 scoring leader.

Canada and Nigeria have four points apiece after two games, but Nigeria leads on goal differential after the Nigerians routed host Azer-baijan 11-0 on Tuesday.

Canada plays Azerbai-jan in its fi nal game of the group phase on Saturday.

InternationalLAS VEGAS, Nev. -

Las Vegas oddsmakers say US$300 million or more changed hands worldwide

on a controversial referee call that decided the Monday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks.

Sports book chief Jay Kornegay said Tuesday that bettors at The LVH casino registered shock, some cel-ebration, then anger when the outcome of the Packers game against the Seahawks was decided due to what he called “a blatant bad call.”

The Seahawks won 14-12 after referees ruled that a Seattle receiver came down with the ball in a pile of bodies in the end zone.

Gambling expert RJ Bell of Las Vegas-based Pregame.com says he thinks two-thirds of bets worldwide

were on the Packers, and that sports books took in at least $150 million because of the call.

***LONDON - Rafael

Nadal still has no timetable for his return from a knee injury.

The Spaniard, who hasn’t played since losing in the second round of Wimble-don in June to little-known Lukas Rosol, is recovering from a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee.

In interviews with Eu-ropean newspapers Tuesday, the 11-time Grand Slam champion said he’s not sure how soon he’ll be back or whether he’ll play in the Australian Open in January.

Fall Home ImprovementFall Home ImprovementBathroom updates in

less than 48 hours(NC)—Many hom-

eowners are looking to redo and update their homes, but with busy schedules, often only have time on the weekends. While a com-plete overhaul of the house might be unrealistic for this time frame, a bathroom makeover is completely do-able. The following tips and tricks will show you how to be a weekend warrior without having to hire a professional crew for assistance.

Get InspiredHome magazines and

online resources, such as Pinterest, are fi lled with all the newest colour palettes, design themes and patterns to get your inspiration fl ow-ing. Utilize the many beau-tiful bath photos to fi nd the theme or colour scheme that calls to you and run with it.

One-Stop ShopHeading to only one

or two stores is crucial, since your time should be spent renovating, not driv-ing all over town for what you need. Planning ahead will lessen frustrations when you begin scouring the aisles.

Finding the Perfect Products

For a weekend make-over, focus on the following products:

• Paint: Be sure to choose a semi-gloss or bath-room-specifi c paint, since the steam from hot showers and excessive water fl ow can make the bathroom a harsh environment.

• Faucets: When select-ing your faucet, consider style, fi nish, coordinating products and quality. The Moen Boardwalk bath

collection, for instance, features a blend of vintage design and classic lines for a stunning look in any bath.

• Showering: The shower is a place to escape and relax – so be sure to fi nd products to enhance this space. Today's show-erheads come in variety of designs – wallmount, handheld, multi-function, rainshower – or a combi-nation of all. Find the one that suits your showering style and choose a fi nish to coordinate with the rest of your bath.

• Accessories: For added safety with style, try designer grab bars with accessories, which combine the safety benefi ts of a grab bar with one of three common bath essen-tials – a towel bar, a paper holder and a shelf – making each item functional and fashionable. Adding these discrete safety solutions will keep your bath look-ing great while still being practical.

• Accents: Once you've chosen all the hardware for your bath, you'll need to think of the softer accents to help pull your design together. A new shower curtain, decorative towels, throw rug and curtains will add the fi nal fi nishing touch to your new space.

Install and EnjoyOnce you've purchased

your product selections, it's time to start your update. Luckily, each of these proj-ects can be accomplished quickly and are simple enough for even a novice DIYer. More information is available online at www.moen.ca.

Fall Home Fall Home ImprovementImprovement

Paint trends (NC)—The latest in-

novations in paint products are transforming the do-it-yourself painting experience for countless homeowners across the country. For many, priming surfaces before their chosen paint colour applica-tion is now a thing of the past.

Manufacturers are al-ways looking for solutions to help consumers complete their paint projects quickly and easily with long-lasting results. The latest innovation that is a big hit with hom-eowners is Behr Premium Plus Ultra Interior, a high-performance product that allows consumers to paint, prime and protect all in one with a new advanced stain-blocking formula. It's the ideal product for everyday use or even for tough, chal-lenging conditions.

“The new formula is an example of our commitment to deliver the highest quality products at competitive pric-es, giving do-it-yourselfers the power to achieve their

vision in every room,” said Aimee Desrosiers, Director of Marketing at Behr Paints.

Formulated for the hom-eowner looking to paint and protect with the added benefi t of keeping stains from bleed-ing through, it is targeted for high-traffi c spaces such as family rooms, kids' rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and hallways. Other added benefits include a shorter dry time and in-creased fi lm hardness offer-ing even better durability and a long-lasting appearance.

In addition, the paint is a low VOC, 100 per-cent acrylic formula with a mildew resistant fi nish for increased ease-of-mind when painting. “It offers excellent adhesion and ensures out-standing stain, scuff and mar resistance for long-lasting colours and easy-to-clean surfaces,” explained Desro-siers. For more information on the latest paint trends and a robust how-to section visit www.behr.com.

(NC)—Life is hectic. And although technology has made our lives easier to multitask and stay con-nected, it also means that no matter where you go, it's hard to fully escape. While traveling to a remote island to get away for peace and relaxation would be a won-derful retreat, you can easily avoid the hustle and bustle of your daily routine by creating peaceful escapes throughout your own home.

Say “Spaah”The bathroom is the

only place where you can shut the door and have com-plete “you time” with little to no interruptions. With 54 percent of respondents to a recent Moen survey of showering behaviours say-ing they have children living at home, a shower means a bit of precious alone time, and people take full advantage of the peace to think about the day, their lives and more.

To add a bit of bliss in the bath, add a spa-like shower with multiple spray settings to meet every mood. The Moen Caldwell Shower Combination offers a spa of multiple sprays and a variety of spray patterns – creating the perfect shower retreat. The collection features an incrediblet selection of op-tions – both a fi ve-setting wallmount showerhead and a

fi ve-setting handheld show-erhead with fi ve unique spray settings. And the best part is it won't cost a fortune.

It's time to truly enjoy your shower and create the ultimate getaway. After all, you deserve it. And the multiple spray settings of the Caldwell collection are perfect for everyone in the house.

Zen in the DenThe TV is blaring, the

phone is ringing off the hook, and power cords from everything from the Blu-ray, to the Wii, to the table lamp are refusing to stay neatly tucked away. Your den area might be a go-to hangout place, but it's still easy to cre-ate peace among the chaos.

De-cluttering is one of the simplest things you can do to create order and a sense of calm. Remove items that haven't been used in months and get rid of furniture that serves little to no function. The less clutter your den has, the better you'll feel. It's also important to open the windows whenever possible. Less mess and fresh air can easily change the outlook of a room.

Follow these tricks, and you'll be on your way to feeling great, inside and out. More information is available online at www.moen.ca.

Fall Home ImprovementFall Home ImprovementSmoke alarms wear out

(NC)—We replace all sorts of things in our homes on a regular ba-sis. So why is it so hard to remember that smoke (and carbon monoxide) alarms need to be replaced too? They are working

24/7/365 so it makes sense that they don't last for-ever. Fire safety officials remind us to replace all smoke alarms every 10 years. For CO alarms, they need to be replaced every 7-10 years depending on

the manufacturer. This is true whether alarms are battery operated or hard-wired. So the next time you're in a hardware store, pick up another “decade of defense” for your family's peace of mind.

ProvincialROCANVILLE, Sask.

- A potash company says 20 of its workers are safe in a refuge room while a fi re is burning underground at one of its mines in eastern Saskatchewan.

An offi cial says the fi re at PotashCorp.’s Rocanville mine broke out about 2 a.m.

Nine other miners have been brought safely above ground.

PotashCorp. public af-fairs manager Bill Cooper says offi cials are in contact with the workers in the refuge

room.He says a large wooden

cable spool is burning and four mine safety workers are fi ghting the fl ames.

“We are in the process of putting out the fi re and hope to do that quickly and safely,” Cooper said.

The fi re is 17 kilometres down from where the main shaft is located.

NationalEDMONTON - A police

audio recording suggests a man facing extradition to the United States on terror-

ism charges was so calm when armed RCMP offi cers arrested him that he joked with offi cers about being on “Candid Camera.”

Sayfi ldin Tahir Sharif is accused of supporting a ter-rorist group that took part in a suicide bombing in Iraq in 2009 that killed fi ve Ameri-can soldiers.

At his extradition hear-ing Monday, the Crown played a recording of a Jan. 19, 2011, police raid in which Sgt. James Greene can be heard reading Sharif the ar-rest warrant numerous times.

“You are under arrest for soliciting terrorist activ-ity contrary to the Criminal Code,” says Greene, who tes-tifi ed Sharif was handcuffed on the fl oor while armed Mounties searched other rooms of the Edmonton apart-ment for potential danger.

Greene then can be heard clearly advising Sharif of his rights to remain silent and to speak with a lawyer.

Sharif, who lived in the apartment with his common-law wife and her children, never raises his voice or expresses any alarm during

his arrest.

InternationalMADRID - Spain’s

Parliament has taken on the appearance of a heavily guarded fortress with rows of metal barriers manned by dozens of police blocking access from every possible angle, hours ahead of a pro-test against the conservative government’s handling of the economic crisis.

The demonstration, or-ganized behind the slogan ‘Occupy Congress,’ is ex-pected to draw thousands of

people from around Spain. It is due to start around 1730 GMT Tuesday.

Madrid’s regional Inte-rior Ministry delegation said some 1,300 police would be deployed.

The protestors say they have no intention of storming the chamber but will try to march around it.

They are calling for Par-liament to be dissolved and fresh elections held, claiming the government’s austerity measures show the ruling Popular Party misled voters to get elected last November.
