ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don't waste your time and energy fretting over remarks you consider unnecessary or unkind. Best advice: Ignore them, and just keep doing your usual good job.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting that new perspective on a workplace situation could lead to a solution everyone will accept. Meanwhile, make time to keep up with your creative pursuits.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those changes you planned to implement in early summer might need to be reassessed. But don't make any moves until you've discussed this with someone you trust.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor harmony, making this a good time to work out problems in relationships -- whether personal or professional, big or small. An old friend comes back.

LEO (July 23 to Au-gust 22) While you're still riding that high-powered beam, you might begin to lose focus by week's end. Could be you'll need to do a little cat-napping to restore your spent energies.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An un-expected development creates a lot of excitement. Where it takes you is your decision. Check out the possibilities, then decide if you want to go with it or not.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although your supporters help you squash an unfair claim against you, don't let this go unchallenged. You need to learn more about the motives of those behind it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There are still some tasks to clear up by midweek. Then you can welcome the new month on a high note. A friend brings surprising but very welcome news.

SAGITTARIUS (No-vember 22 to December 21) You might want to change your plans before they're set in cement. Consider advice from colleagues. But remember that, ultimately, it's your choice.

CAPRICORN (De-cember 22 to January 19) A difficult situation is working itself out. Linger-ing problems should be resolved by week's end, allowing the Goat to enjoy a calmer, less stressful period.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Be care-ful not to move so quickly that you miss possible warning signs that could upset your plans. Slow down. Your supporters will continue to stand by you.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your generos-ity in sharing your time and wisdom with others leads to an intriguing develop-ment that could have you considering some interest-ing choices.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of infl u-encing people to be and do their best. You would make an excellent teacher.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 2013 Page 3

Tionna Nashiem was inspired to change the world, and she is now working on getting half-way around the world in order to leave her thumb-print.

The Grade 8 student at Sacred Heart/Sacré Coeur School was among the lo-cal group of youth to trek to Saskatoon in February for the Me to We confer-ence presented by Free the Children.

Sitting down in the school library last week, Tionna said that at the conference, the students were asked to make a dif-ference, and that’s why she is going to Kenya to build a school.

“They told us to go out there and change the world, so that’s how I got the idea,” she said.

Her mother, Kelli Kitzul, was supportive of

the idea and began organiz-ing to go on one of Free the Children’s immersive school-building experi-ences and thought it would be best to do things now, before Tionna gets into high school.

“They offer these fam-ily trips and we got the last spot to go,” said Kitzul, noting they will be to-gether with a group. “The whole highlight of the trip is the school building.”

The pair will be gone from Aug. 17 to 31, spend-ing time in Nairobi and Bogani, where they will spend eight days building the school. For the rest of the trip, they will be get-ting to know local customs, visiting the Baraka Medi-cal Clinic and an all-girls’ school.

They will be complet-ing the finishing touches on a school that was started

by other groups that have been through the area on similar trips.

“There were a lot of people talking (at the con-ference), and there were two people talking about how they went somewhere and built a school,” said Tionna, who entered a contest to go to a Third World country and take part in some kind of work building homes or schools. After she didn’t win that, she and Kitzul decided the trip would only happen af-ter some local fundraising.

Being inspired to go was the easy part, but rais-ing the $14,000 necessary for the trip has meant a little more legwork.

The trip is organized entirely by Free the Chil-dren, so they just have to raise the money and get to Toronto, where they will then fly to Nairobi.

Once there, they will stay in exaggerated “tents” that are more like cottages and get to work building the school.

Tionna’s t eacher, Nancy Bourbonnais, said that often students, includ-ing Tionna, will ask about why they don’t have access to something in the class-room. Bourbonnais said seeing a school in Kenya and experiencing how other students learn may help her see that she should be appreciative of what they do have access to.

Tionna also made it very clear she was excited to see some animals during the group’s safari.

Upcoming fundraisers for the pair include a steak night at Houston Pizza on April 30 and a youth bas-ketball tournament on May 3 and 4 at Sacred Heart. They set up a booth at the

Quota Club Craft Show on April 6, and Kitzul has been getting the word out to businesses in the city as well.

Those wishing to contact Kitzul about the fundraiser or to make a

donation may call her at 306-461-9544 or call the school at 306-634-4249 to contact Bourbonnais. A Facebook page for the group can be found under Tionna and Kelli’s Kenya Trip.

Student fi nds way to change the world

Kelli Kitzul and daughter Tionna Nashiem are raising money for their trip through Free the Children to Kenya, where they will be building a school in an impoverished area of the country.

Jordan BakerThoughts From

My Fingers

Ever since it came up at Yorkton city council about 20 months ago, I have had an interest in the idea of keeping chickens within city limits.

It was an interesting situation in Yorkton.

Council listened to the request from a ratepayer, then handed it to the City’s protective services committee, apparently fearing a hen escaping a pen and going “Cujo-chicken” on the citizens. Protec-tive services recommended not allowing hens in backyards.

The collective decision of council and its committee has always escaped me.

Keeping laying hens is something cities all over North America - from New York on down - are allowing, although in a typical behind the curve tendency, none in Saskatchewan are on the list.

A few chickens, and yes, municipal jurisdictions set limits on numbers, are certainly no more impactful in terms of waste than someone with a couple of large breed dogs.

In the case of dogs, that waste is de-posited wherever the mood arises, while hens are generally housed.

Dogs are also far noisier than a few clucking hens.

And while there might be a vision of free-range hens being generally annoying, backyard husbandry has gone a long way beyond that. Cue the magazine entitled Chickens.

I was perusing a local newsstand for the latest fi shing magazines and came across Chickens. It was actually one of two publications on the stand devoted to keeping small backyard hen fl ocks.

I grabbed Chickens because it had a story on historic breeds, another area of general interest for me.

The magazine speaks to the growing interest and popularity of raising a few chickens in a backyard setting.

There are several reasons for the growing interest.

To start with, many people want at least some infl uence on their food supply. Household eggs collected fresh daily are one way to do that, just as are windowsill

herb gardens and being part of community gardens.

There is also something good that hap-pens when people are around animals. You can see that in the reaction of a rancher just sitting watching his herd, or seeing the smiles of residents in a seniors’ home when someone with a friendly dog visits.

Working with a few chickens, feed-ing them and collecting eggs would be a great respite from the burden of jobs and the pace of an electronic world.

In Yorkton, council failed to be trend leaders in being the fi rst city jurisdiction in Saskatchewan allowing backyard hens, but the trend is obviously growing, and that is a good thing.

People, whether rural or urban, should be interested in having a greater control of their food, whether that is looking to buy directly from the area’s farmers they trust or by growing their own.

Having hens for eggs is a reasonable, tried and true, and low impact way, of doing that too.

With a growing volume of informa-tion on backyard husbandry, hopefully more urban jurisdictions will allow their residents the freedom to be part of the trend.

An undisputed fact is that everything evolves, except toilet paper, according to George Costanza logic.

Fashions go in and out, popular mu-sic fi nds the next new things month by month and language takes on new forms. In the Information Age, these things tend to change even more rapidly, particularly when it comes to language. The Internet has given us such a spectacularly simple way to communicate, we can’t help but increase the pace at which our communica-tion is altered.

From text speech to tweets, we are communicating things in a way that leave a lot of our past language greatness behind. Now we use emoticons in our notes to one another, and even those have turned into faces made up of hyphens, creating symbols we all recognize now, like the sideways smile :) or the smirking wink ;). Those are supposed to express certain things, like general happiness or maybe when someone is being cheeky. I’m not entirely sure what the wink is meant to say, but I take it for cheekiness or maybe sarcasm.

If we live by the saying a picture is worth 1,000 words, then for the sake of expediency in our time-is-money world, it’s just a matter of time before all our com-munication is done via an elaborate game

of Pictionary. One can either express how happy they are in 1,000 words, or they can just add a brief :) at the end of the message.

The more we move toward purely image-based communication, however, the more we are likely to lose great one liners. There are plenty of expressions that were once great but are never used anymore. We’ve already lost them, and we may lose our new zingers to crudely drawn cartoons.

Many of these expressions were lost before my lifetime, but I’d still like to see a comeback of some long-lost gems.

“Bed is the poor man’s opera.” I hadn’t heard this one before, but I’m going to break it out form time to time.

You’re probably thinking it can’t pos-sibly mean what you think it means, but it means exactly what you think it means.

Another good one that’s fallen out of use is “He who would pun would pick a pocket.” I agree with this one even though I have a bit of a soft spot for puns. I cringe

at them, but I still think they are great. This quote takes a bit of an uncalled for jab at the light word play typically found in puns, which are regularly regarded as the lowest form of wit.

My grandpa is full of cringe-worthy puns, and I love to egg him on for more. I laugh at them even though he is always quick to make it clear that he considers his puns bad jokes. He is a Mann, so naturally I like to greet him with a friendly, “What’s up, man?” to which he responds, “Not much, Baker,” followed by a sheepish grin, a shake of the head and often a wave of the hand.

Sure, it’s a terrible attempt at humour, but that doesn’t mean we are common thieves.

Those two are pretty good ones. But most of all I would hate to lose

one of my favourite toasts to the power of the picture: The Irish saying, “As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters be pointed the other way.”

It’s a more elaborate way of saying, “take care.”

That’s one I don’t say enough, but when given the opportunity to hold up a glass and say something stupid, that’s my go-to toast. I don’t want to have to hold up a drawing of an Irishman sliding down a banister with downward-oriented splinters.

Students from across the city were energized last week when the gathered at the Estevan Court House clad in pink for a march downtown.

If you found access to Fourth Street between Souris and 13th Avenues was blocked in the af-ternoon on April 10, it’s because the thoroughfare was closed to vehicles and opened for the gather-ing of students, teachers, community members and city offi cials who showed off their pink shirts and marched with the spirit of creating a future of greater acceptance.

The Red Cross held its Day of Pink in concert with the international Day of Pink last Wednesday with walks in Estevan and Weyburn. It was the second consecutive year for the Energy City walk, and local organizer Shannon Culy, who is the event organizer and student counsellor with the Holy Family Roman Catholic School Division said there was a better turnout, particularly when it came to community members.

A greater community presence tells Culy the event is gaining momentum and not only are people aware of it, but they are also sup-portive of it.

“I was really happy with how things turned out. I think in comparison to last year, we defi nitely had more people out,” said Culy. “It was good to see we had a lot more parents out and members of the community, so we were really excited

with the turnout.”Culy said they weren’t

able to advertise and push the event as hard as they did in the fi rst year. Despite that, the number of pink-clad walkers was enough for Culy.

“It gives me hope that this is catching on, and people are showing up to support it,” she said. “We’re going to keep going with it, and we’ll start talking to other schools about getting involved. “

She noted that this marked the third year the walk was held in Weyburn, and the event there contin-ues to grow.

Weather was a question mark leading up to the day as the T-shirts were all that was needed to stay warm

for the 2012 march. With snow still on the ground and temperatures barely above freezing, there was some concern the walk could be less comfortable this time around. Weather problems, however, were averted and no drastic measures were necessary to postpone or cancel the event.

“Unless we wake up to a blizzard, I said, ‘we’re

walking,’” added Culy. She said she thinks the

students are very aware of the anti-bullying message of the event and are thrilled by that call for respect.

“When we talk about the walk, the kids are ab-solutely excited about it. The kids were wearing their shirts, they were wearing their bracelets, they made signs and this is an event

we do all week. We have spirit days everyday of the week this week,” Culy said following the walk.

Each day last week was a spirit day at St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart/Sacré Coeur Schools. Students were encouraged to do things that would show fellow students that they cared, and students would be rewarded for their kind efforts.

“It’s a big week for us. It doesn’t just happen one day and we try to send that message to our kids as well. It’s nice that everyone shows up that one day and shows support, but I think the message that we try send our students is that it’s not just one day, it’s not just one week, it’s everyday of our lives.”

Culy said she expects the event to continue next year under the same format it has been moving along in it fi rst two years. The orga-nizers have entertained the idea of bringing a speaker in, but Culy said they are still fi nding their place in the community and hope to further establish the walk before changing things up too drastically.

“Next year we just continue that momentum, and if it’s something that one day out of the school year the kids know this is going to happen, then we’re raising awareness,” said Culy, who noted they have also begun monthly spirit days to raise awareness of the Day of Pink.

The organizer said they will now be looking to build on the event’s foundation and shoot for a larger walk next spring.

The Junos are around the corner, to be hosted in Regina this weekend. The Canadian music award show is an event meant to celebrate Canadian art and that’s something that behind the glitz and glam is pretty noble.

Art is something meant to be taken in visu-ally and audibly and if artists aren’t supported and recognized, they all fail. If our artists fail, there will no longer be anybody to plug in an amp, put brush to canvas, pen to paper or steady

an eye behind a lens. Whether you share our prime minister’s view that artists are just a bunch of liberals who

spend the bulk of their time at lush galas or you want to know what the latest pop stars’ hair colours are, it’s true that we are better off in a world full of art. Like anything else, we have to go to concerts, make trips to the galleries and have nights out at the movies to perpetuate the arts.

The Junos are just one more way to do that. The award show shouldn’t be about the celebrity of artists, but as long as it’s a platform

to recognize greatness in our talented Canadian musicians, it’s a worthy event. The awards themselves don’t really mean anything. It’s just a way to let an artist know

their work is appreciated and that it means something to the people who listen to it. Sure, Canadian musicians are eligible for Grammys — Montreal-based band The Arcade

Fire was awarded Album of The Year recently — but those awards are the same thing, just an opportunity for recognition.

Canadians, at times, don’t take a moment to appreciate what our fellow countrymen have to offer, so the Junos are a night we can actually put our musicians on a stage and say thanks.

— Jordan Baker

While it’s true that Canadian artists are completely eligible to win a Grammy Award, the same as all international artists, there’s something appealing about having an award show that’s all about Canada.

We’re a country that’s constantly domi-nated by our southern neighbours. The United States constantly overwhelms Canadians with their media, their entertainment and their news.

The Junos give Canadians a chance to just be Canadians and to recognize our Canadian talent. At the Junos, someone gets to hand a nice, shiny award to that Canadian artist we love so much. It’s not like our Canadian artists are any less hardworking or deserving of recognition.

In my opinion, we’re kind of lucky in that we get the best of both worlds: plenty of Canadian artists are uber talented, but don’t earn an American following or success in the U.S.A. Here in Canada, however, we recognize their awesomeness.

That reminds me of Carly Rae Jepsen, who had a decent career in Canada for years before Justin Bieber heard her single on the radio and used his Bieber power to make her famous. But Carly Rae was always good. I remember watching her on Canadian Idol and really liking her sound. I remember hearing Sun 102.3 play Tug of War a million times and still not hating it. It’s cool to see Carly Rae do so well in the U.S., and it’s even nicer that she has a chance at a Juno, considering she didn’t win a Grammy.

Plus, the Junos are in Regina this year. The Grammys weren’t in Regina. I’m pretty sure the Grammys haven’t even heard of Regina. So there. Junos rule.

Hindsight is 20/20, they say. So looking back several decades, the sci-entists agreed - if they had to pick a date when it all started, it was 2013.

Thirteen is aptly con-sidered unlucky, for it was the year with no summer. Scratch that. It was the fi rst year with no summer.

Moods were glum throughout Western Can-ada that spring. April showers were supposed to bring May fl owers. Instead, all the precipitation would come as the “white stuff.” Regina kept reporting another centimetre every few days. Roofs started collapsing. Brendenbury, Saskatchewan, lost the roof of its rink. Still, these things can happen any given year.

But by the May long weekend, people really began to worry. There was still snow on the ground. No farmer could plant a crop. Half-million dol-lar tractor-and-air seeder combinations sat idle. Premiers called emergency cabinet sessions to deal with the crisis. Without a spring planting for anyone, the economy wasn’t just going to take a tailspin, it was going to crash and burn much worse than the

1930s. Farmers not seeding meant the base industry was in total collapse. While that was hard on the pock-etbooks, it was worse for the stomach.

While much of the people’s food was im-ported anyway - vegetables from California, fruit from overseas, you couldn’t truck in enough hay to feed the beef industry nor grain to feed the pigs. With no hay crop that year, and a severe drought in the U.S. the previous year, there was no surplus to feed the animals.

By July, three-year-old bales that were used for wind protection were fetching $200 apiece, if you could fi nd them. By September, the beef herd had been culled by 75 per cent. There was no food, anywhere, to feed the cattle. After a brief time when stores couldn’t give away all the recently slaughtered beef and pork,

North American suddenly found itself on a vegan diet, deprived of most of its milk, too. After all, you couldn’t drink milk if you couldn’t feed the cows.

World grain prices quadrupled over four months with the realiza-tion that there would be no grain production from the Canadian West, and substantially less from the American Plains.

Natural gas prices would also shoot up, well beyond their 2007 peaks. With people running their furnaces year round, stock-piles dried up, and by fall, drilling resumed in earnest.

“Climate change,” the people were told. “This is what happens when we drive gas-guzzling SUVs and burn coal. The world is getting warmer.”

But it wasn’t.Statistical arguments

can be made for anything, given enough numbers. For the past 30 years, climate

scientists told anyone who would listen that the world was going to warm up. Sea levels would rise. Coastal populations would flee inland as massive cities the world over became inundated. But what they neglected to mention was that back in the 1970s, the same scientists had other concerns. Back then, they were concerned about an-other ice age coming.

What is an ice age, anyway? The math was simple, really. It snows more than it melts, and the snow stays year over year. Eventually it accumulates to form ice sheets. Over thousands of years, these ice sheets grow to be miles thick. Precious little can live on them, and nothing can live under them.

Yet this was the natu-ral state for nearly all of Canada for roughly 80,000 of the past 100,000 years, and countless cycles before that. Mankind, for all of its recorded history from the time Abraham left Ur in Mesopotamia, had been living during the peak of the interglacial period. No one had written on clay tablets of the great ice age. So it was conveniently forgotten, even though the evidence of it was all

around. Nearly every piece of land located north of the 49th parallel around the world had been sculpted by those massive glaciers ... everything from the hills to the rivers that fl owed from them.

This time, the scien-tists could be more de-fi nitive. It started in 2013, when the snow stayed. The high refl ectivity of snow prevented the ground’s absorption of the sun’s rays. The air is warmed by the ground radiating heat originally absorbed from the sun. The result was snow instead of rain.

Three years on, Can-ada was in shambles. Two-thirds of the nation was out of work and on the run, almost all of them to the south. The rest were packing. The Americans welcomed them with open arms, at fi rst. After all, if a million or so Mexi-cans came across the Rio Grande every year, surely they could absorb some Ca-nucks. But they faced pres-sures too. With a shortened growing season, corn, one of the most caloric-intense foods on the planet and the staple of the American diet, could no longer be grown. Millions would go hungry.

Of the Canadians who

remained, they soon real-ized it was a losing battle. There’s only so much snow you can push. You can only build a snow blower so big. All trains were equipped with massive snow blow-ers, the types that previ-ously had only been seen in the mountains. A few years later, trains could no longer run. The snow and ice had accumulated to the point where a track was simply a blown-in tunnel in a 15-foot tall snowbank.

By 2020, 85 per cent of Canada was no longer inhabitable. The capital for those who remained was moved to Vancouver. Most provinces ceased to exist, their borders erased by the ice sheets.

The funny thing is, in the earlier years, popular culture was enthralled with zombie apocalypses. Too bad they never realized the simple snowfl ake was their undoing. Like a zombie, it too, would never yield.

Now that school is done for me, I’ve settled myself into a real life, adult job. I’m working for the CTV Morning Live show as a chase producer, which is kind of cool. It’s totally different from reporting, in that I don’t have to haul gear, no interviewing, no on-camera work. And no weekends, which is a startling experience I’m looking forward to once Juno week is over. I haven’t had a real, honest-to-god weekend since I don’t even know when. It’s going to be good.

The new job also

comes with a new wake-up time: 3 o’clock in the morning. You read that right. I have to be at work by 4 a.m. every day, and need at least 45 minutes to have a shower and slap on some makeup.

I started Tuesday, and I tried to go to bed at 6 p.m.,

because I was optimistic that I’d be able to fall asleep and get my necessary nine hours of slumber. No dice. I tossed and turned until around 10, when I fi nally crashed out.

That alarm at 3 is something else, though. I heard it, and in the back

of my mind, wondered what would happen if I turned it off and just went back to sleep. Would they really miss me? Probably not. I could also say I just slept in, a reasonable excuse considering my body knows no reason for waking at such an unholy hour. I thought about all the important morning steps I could skip: I smelled all right – probably didn’t need a shower; my hair was decent – probably would just brush it out.

And my bed, which had seemed so uncomfort-able and unfriendly at 6

p.m. when I was trying to sleep, suddenly felt like heaven was hugging me and angels were telling me I’d better keep on sleeping, because in my bed was where I was meant to be.

But, against all odds, I got up. Showered. Styled my hair. I did have to eat my oatmeal on the drive to work, but there isn’t any-thing unusual about that.

I’ve discovered one bonus about this gig, how-ever (along with many other perks, like work-ing with sweet people and working in a fi eld I love): I’m encouraged to

take naps. What kind of a grown-up job is this, where my co-workers inform me the best thing to do is to sleep for a couple hours in the afternoon? I thought I had to give up my naps when I was handed my degree, but apparently this is not the case. I feel like I’ve uncovered some great lie. This is wonderful.

And somehow, waking up at 3 a.m. was a heck of a lot easier than waking up again at 3 p.m. Go fi gure.

Electoral reform to address robocallsNational

OTTAWA - The Harper government introduced electoral reform legislation on Thursday.

Tim Uppal, the minister of state for democratic reform, says the bill will address concerns raised before a Commons committee by Marc Mayrand, the chief electoral offi cer.

The long-awaited legislation is intended to address problems arising from the robocalls scandal.

Mayrand has warned there could be another wave of false or misleading telephone calls in the next election if tough new rules and punishments are not in place by the end of next year.

An Elections Canada report last month offered a number of ideas aimed at preventing another rash of so-called robocalls in future campaigns.

They include penalties for impersonating election offi cials, wider investigative powers for elections offi cials and increased voter privacy.

***OTTAWA - The box score on Justin Trudeau’s rookie

debut as Liberal leader in the House of Commons might read as follows:

Zero unforced errors, zero home runs, no bases stolen, no opposition high-fi ves, capacity crowd.

Trudeau, 41, put in a workmanlike effort Monday as parliamentarians returned from a two-week Easter break to fi nd that the third party in the Commons standings fi nally has a permanent, high-profi le bench boss, almost two years after the 2011 election reduced the Liberals to a rump.

Apart from the galleries packed with members of the public, senators, friends and family — and an almost comically cheek-by-jowl press row — it was almost business as usual.

“I’d like to begin by congratulating the new leader of the Liberal party on his election,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who rarely appears in the Commons question

period on Mondays or Fridays, intoned.New party leaders in the House are traditionally

greeted by their counterparts with good-humoured — and usually back-handed — welcoming statements.

***OTTAWA - The federal government is changing the

software on the full-body scanners used to provide security at airports so they no longer produce a complete outline of a traveller’s body.

Transport Canada says the new technology, already in use in the U.S. and the Netherlands, will increase privacy while still ensuring security.

The scanners have been in use at Canadian airports for three years and there now are 52 of the devices installed across the country.

They work by beaming low-level radio frequency energy over and around the passenger’s body.

Instead of a silhouette of a person’s physique, the new software will produced a stick fi gure on the scanner’s screen and identify areas of the body where objects might be concealed under clothing.

Transport Canada says the scans can identify anoma-lies on a passenger, including metals and non-metals of all shapes and size; ceramic-type threats such as knives and sharp instruments; liquids and explosives.

InternationalTEHRAN, Iran - A major earthquake described

as the strongest to hit Iran in more than half a century fl attened homes and offi ces Tuesday near Iran’s border with Pakistan, killing at least 40 people in the sparsely populated region and swaying skyscrapers and buildings as far away as New Delhi.

Iran’s Red Crescent said it was facing a “complicated emergency situation” in the area with villages scat-tered over desolate hills

and valleys.Iran’s semioffi cial ISNA news agency and others

described the quake, measured at least magnitude 7.7, as the strongest quake in more than 50 years.

It also was the second deadly quake to hit Iran in less than a week after a magnitude 6.1 temblor struck near Bushehr, on Iran’s Persian Gulf coast, killing at least 37 people and raising calls for greater international safety inspectors at Iran’s lone nuclear reactor nearby.

***BOSTON - Two bombs exploded in the crowded

streets near the fi nish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 140 in a bloody scene of shattered glass and severed limbs that raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S.

A White House offi cial speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.

President Barack Obama, speaking from the White House late Monday, pointedly avoided using the words “terror” or “terrorism,” saying offi cials “still do not know who did this or why.” However, a White House offi cial later said the explosions at one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious race was being treated as terrorism.

“We will fi nd out who did this. We’ll fi nd out why they did this,” Obama said in his brief statement. “Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice.”

As the FBI took charge of the investigation, authori-ties shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the bombings, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Offi cials in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

NOTICE


Canada owns the sport of curling in the same way that the United States lays claim to control of baseball or the Brits rugby.

And sure, curling is a slippery game, but meta-phorically, Canada has felt something slip lately in its continuing quest for domina-tion in the Roaring Game.

Here’s some evidence: Canada made the playoffs at the recent world men’s curl-ing championships in Vic-toria, fi nishing second, but the Canadian rink skipped by Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie suffered round-robin losses at the hands of teams from Japan, where table tennis is king, and the Czech Republic, who until about fi ve years ago might not have even been sure which end of the curling broom to hold.

Total number of gold, silver and bronze medals for Canada in the 55 years a men’s world champion-ship has been held - 49, 34 of them gold (next best for gold: Sweden, seven).

Total number of gold, silver and bronze medals for Japan and the Czech Republic, combined - a big fat zero.

Feel something slipping Canada?

You bet, and it’s all our fault. Canada’s curling ambassadors for the past decade have been traipsing around the world, spread-ing their knowledge about the game to pockets of the globe that 10 or 15 years ago had no idea that such

a game even existed. That world presence, of course, has ensured its inclusion as a new-found Olympic sport. James Naismith might be the father of basketball in North America, but Russ Howard just might be his curling equivalent in Japan.

Hey, we wanted to spread the game around the globe, but we didn’t want the world to start beating us. But that’s what’s starting to happen.

The world may be catching up to Canada on the women’s side even more quickly. Canada’s female champs have not won a world title in their last fi ve tries, and even China has a world women’s title to its credit during that period. Nine different countries have won the world women’s title, while only six countries - Canada, Scotland, Sweden, United States, Switzerland and Norway - have won the men’s title.

Japan and the Czech Republic scoring wins over Jacobs at this year’s men’s worlds, however, should be a stark reminder to Canada that our world curling domi-nation may be ending. We’ll fi nd out for sure in Sochi,

Russia, when the only thing that matters is hearing your country’s national anthem being played at the medal presentations.

NationalHAMILTON - Former NFL quarterback Brian Brohm

is continuing his pro career in the CFL.A CFL source requesting anonymity said Tuesday

that Brohm has agreed to terms with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and is expected to be on the fi eld for the start of the club’s mini-camp Wednesday.

Brohm, 27, was taken in the second round, 56th overall, by the Green Bay Packers in the 2008 NFL draft out of Louisville.

Buffalo signed Brohm off of Green Bay’s practice roster in 2009. The native of Louisville, Ky., appeared in three games over two seasons with the Bills, completing 27-of-52 passes for 252 yards with fi ve interceptions and no TDs.

Brohm spent parts of the 2011 and 2012 seasons with the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League.

***OTTAWA - The president of the Canadian Medi-

cal Association is warning MPs about the dangers of legitimizing mixed martial arts bouts.

Dr. Anna Reid is appearing before the Commons justice committee which is studying legislation that would bring combat sports, including mixed martial arts, under supervision and regulation.

The bill would update the 80-year-old Criminal Code section dealing with prize fi ghts.

Combat sports are currently in a sort of legal limbo in that they technically may be illegal under the law, but are condoned.

Supporters of the bill say it will promote safer practices in mixed martial arts, a popular — if often bloody — contest.

Reid says this kind of combat fi ghting is dangerous and often produces serious head injuries.

The association’s general council voted in 2010 for a ban on mixed martial arts prize fi ghting matches.

The present legislation passed the Senate with broad support and a similar bill had strong support on the Com-mons before it died due to prorogation.

Reid says the doctors don’t oppose combat sports such as judo and karate.

InternationalMOSCOW - Russian sports offi cials said Tuesday

they will beef up security at sports events and the Sochi 2014 Winter Games in the wake of deadly explosions at Boston’s marathon that killed three people, and injured over 140 others.

The World Athletics Championship takes place in Moscow on Aug. 10-18, and the event is seen as a dress rehearsal for the 2014 Winter Games in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.

Offi cials will get in touch with the organizers of the Boston marathon to fi nd out which security precautions may have failed, Mikhail Butov, secretary general of the Russian Athletics Federation, said.

“Our security measures are tough as they are,” Butov told The Associated Press. “But when it’s clear what actually happened (in Boston), we will draw our

conclusions.”Federation president, Valentin Balakhnichev, told

the Interfax news agency that the Boston bombings on Monday revealed “problems” in ensuring security at outdoors events and expressed concern that it may inspire “other organizers of terrorist attacks.”

***LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The 20-year-old son of

basketball great Magic Johnson is surprised by the public interest in his being gay, something that he revealed to his supportive family several years ago.

Earvin Johnson, known as E.J., says he feels like he’s coming out of the closet a second time and that he’s “revelling” in the experience — even though news of his sexual orientation broke publicly sooner than he had planned.

In an interview posted Tuesday on the Youtube.com talk show “Gwissues,” Johnson said that he didn’t feel violated after TMZ recently revealed that he’s gay.

“I always wanted to come into the spotlight,” he said. “I always had dreams and plans of doing my own thing and creating my own image, so it came a little sooner than I thought it would but this is still something I knew I would be going through and would have to experience.”

The younger Johnson is a junior at New York Uni-versity studying event management and design with an interest in fashion, journalism and media.

He said the public reaction has ranged from support to criticism, including online postings involving “nasty things about me and what I’m doing.”

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had an echocardiogram. The fi ndings are consistent with "moderate to severe aortic stenosis with trace mitral and tricuspid regurgi-tation and mild pulmonic insuffi ciency, with left atrial enlargement and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The ejection fraction is greater than 65 percent." My doctor referred me to a cardiologist, who told me I need surgery. I am 86 years old and do not feel it would be safe. Will you explain in plain English what I have, and if surgery would lengthen my life span? -- M.I.

ANSWER: Forget about the mitral, tricuspid and pulmonic heart valves. These three valves have an insignifi cant leak. Your aortic valve, however, is your main problem. The aortic valve closes after the heart pumps blood out to the rest of the body. Your valve is so narrow (stenosis) that it creates an obstacle to emptying the heart of blood. That has given rise to "diastolic dysfunction." Your heart can't fi ll with blood normally, as it should between heartbeats (diastole). It is less stretchable. The aortic valve trouble has caused it to thicken.

Early on in aortic stenosis, all goes well. When the valve narrows to a critical size, about 1 square centimeter, symptoms arise, and heart damage progresses more rapidly. The three most important symptoms and signs of aortic stenosis are shortness of breath when up and about, chest pain with activity and fainting spells. Once these symptoms appear, a downhill course in heart health is to be expected.

Even though you're 86, age is not a contraindication to surgery. If your health is otherwise good, you could be a candidate for it. Discuss with the doctor the surgery he has in mind. Ask if you might be able to receive a new valve inserted into the heart through a surface blood vessel by way of a catheter. No extensive incisions are made. It's a less-traumatic procedure. Replacement of your heart valve will increase

your life span and will do away with the severe symptoms that come from a narrowed aortic valve.

The booklet on heart-valve disorders describes the more common causes of heart-valve problems and how they are treated. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 105W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What elevates a person's white blood cell count? What

can a person do about it? Mine has been high for a while. -- B.L.

ANSWER: White blood cells are the body's warriors. They fi ght germs and perform other tasks to protect the body from infection. The normal white blood cell count is 5,000 to 10,000.

Infections, infl ammation, trauma, some noninfectious illnesses, leukemia and stress (including emotional stress) raise the count. So do dehydration and cortisone medicines.

If no illnesses are found, it's not unusual to ignore the higher-than-normal count. If suspicions of hidden illness are high, then further testing has to be done -- like a bone marrow test. A person can do nothing on his own to lower the count.

The carrot is a very versatile vegetable. It can be used as a starter, main course, dessert or just as a snack. Carrots can be eaten raw or cooked in almost any manner imaginable.

Carrots help to main-tain acidic and alkaline properties in the system. They provide important vitamins for eyes, skin, bones, heart and muscle health. Carrots also can act as a blood purifi er, a diuretic and help to relieve fl atulence or colic. The mineral content in carrots lie very close to the skin and should not be peeled or scraped off.

When selecting carrots, make sure that they are a deep, rich color. The deeper the carrot's color, the more beta-carotene it contains. If you're buying the carrots with the leaves, select ones that they are moist and a bright green. Remove the carrot greenery as soon as possible because it robs the roots of moisture and vitamins. You can eat the green tops in a salad or use them similar to the way that you'd use fresh herbs to sprinkle on a dish.

Carrots that are less than 8-inches long and relatively uniform in shape and size are the best selection. Carrots should not bend when gently tested. They also should be well-shaped, fi rm and smooth with no cracks. They should not look wilted. When grated, carrots should be quite juicy.

Carrots are often sold with the tops removed. To judge the freshness, check the top of the carrot for darkening. Whether loose or in plastic bags, avoid carrots with green shoots sprouting out (not to be confused with their green tops) yellowed tips, soft spots or withering, as these are a sign of age. Carrots that have an excessive amount of new sprouts or leaves could have large or woody cores. Also avoid carrots with large green areas at or near their tops. This indicates sunburn damage.

Before storing carrots, remove their green tops, rinse, drain and put the carrots in plastic bags. Store them in the coldest part of the refrigerator with the highest humidity, they'll last several months this way. To keep the carrots crisp and colorful, add a little bit of water in the bottom of the plastic storage bag; this will keep the carrots hydrated. Carrots should be stored away from fruits such as apples, peaches and pears that release ethylene gas, which causes

carrots to become bitter.If carrots have become limp or dehydrated, cut off one

of the ends and place the carrots, cut side down, in a bowl of ice water for about half an hour, to re-crisp them. The coarse, inner core of older c a r r o t s should be removed.

This Herb Carrot and Mushroom Loaf is an unusual way to serve carrots. It's a great side dish with roasted m e a t s o r

fish, and makes

a delicious main course for vegetarians.

Q: Hi, fi rst-time painter here. My dad offered some advice to my roommate and I on painting our apart-ment, such as putting down dropcloths and stirring the paint really well. Is there any other key information we need so we do a good job? The landlord won't be happy if we mess it up! -- Keri C., Tallahassee, Fla.

A: Preparation is the biggest part of painting. It can be maddening get-ting everything ready to paint, but if you do it right, putting down each coat is really satisfying. You'll doubtless hear much more advice from friends and relatives on how to do the best job, but here are some key points:

--Get clearance from the landlord or building management before paint-

ing. Just as importantly, pay attention to and follow any specifi c instructions, such as which colors to use.

--Prepare the room(s): Remove as much furniture and stuff as possible. Move what remains to the center of the room and cover with dropcloths or old sheets. Cover the fl oor or carpets with overlapping drop-cloths.

--Prepare the walls: Take down pictures and carefully remove nails and screws; fi ll the small holes with spackling compound and let dry for 24 hours before sanding smooth.

--Remove cover plates from wall switches and outlets; cover window and door hardware with plastic or remove the hardware (if it's easy to put back on). Cover light fi xtures with plastic shopping bags and secure with masking tape.

--Brush away loose plaster, cobwebs, dirt and peeling paint. Sand bumpy areas smooth using fi ne-grit sandpaper. Wash the walls with a sponge dampened in

a light soap-and-water mix or wall-cleaning product, and let dry.

--Use blue painter's tape (which is less sticky than masking tape) to mask off window and door trim, and other areas where you don't want paint to go.

--Assemble all the stuff you need to paint: Not just an assortment of brushes and rollers, but paint trays, stirring sticks (usually available free with paint purchase) and old rags or towels for cleanup.

--Save money not by picking the cheapest paint, but by purchasing the exact amount you need. How to do that? Measure the square footage of each wall (length times height) and total the numbers.

--Use primer if you don't know what type of paint is currently on the walls, or if you're cover-ing glossy paint with matte paint or vice versa, or if the old paint is darker than the new paint.

Once prepped, you're ready to paint! Follow some

tried-and-true methods for laying down paint: Start high and work on one wall at a time. Use a foam edger or a brush to paint a border about 3 inches wide where the wall meets the ceiling. Then start rolling on paint, using a "W" pattern in vari-ous directions until the wall is covered. Once the walls are done, paint the trim, windows and fi nally the doors, if you're painting them.

HOME TIP: To pre-vent tracking paint out of an area, wear a pair of old shoes while painting; step out of them and into clean shoes at the edge of the paint area when leaving.

If April's showers are keeping your kids inside, surprise them with rainy-day fun that will spark their creativity. Stir up several batches of puffy paint for paper using the simplest of ingredients: fl our, salt and water. Add coloring, and the kids will be able to make doodles and designs that will have a sparkly "puff" effect as they dry.

It's an inexpensive, non-toxic concoction that's not only easy to mix, but virtually messless because the paint is applied with a recycled squeeze bottle.

Here's the stuff you'll need for two colors:

1 cup white fl our1 cup plain table salt1 cup waterposter paint or food

coloring2 plastic squeeze bottles

with spout, such as recycled honey bear bottles

Here's the fun:

In a medium-size mix-ing bowl, stir together the fl our, salt and water until smooth. It should be thick and pourable like a milk-shake. Divide the mixture into two bowls. Add some paint or a few drips of food coloring and stir each one until blended. If your mix-tures are too thick, add water a half-teaspoon at a time. Pour into the two squeeze bottles.

On a newspaper-cov-ered work surface, squeeze the paint onto a sheet of heavy paper or poster board to create designs. When fi n-ished, set aside to dry. The paint will puff on its own as it dries. For best results, use the paint within two to three days.

Fun things to paint:--Draw small designs on

heavy notecard paper. Add envelopes and tie

with a ribbon for a gift. Or, make a collection of gift tags by punching a hole in the corner and adding string.

--Make a frame for a painting or photo using a recycled cereal box.

Cut a cereal box into two rectangular shapes larger than what you are framing,

with one piece slightly larger than the other. The larger of the two pieces is the frame and the small piece is the backing. Cut out the center of the frame to leave an opening for the art or photo to show.

Now it's time to deco-rate it! Paint the plain side of the frame by squeezing some puffy paint on it. Spread the paint out thinly with a paintbrush to cover the cardboard. Let dry, then squeeze fun designs on the painted frame. Let dry.

Attach your photo or artwork to the backing with tape. Place the frame on top and tape in place.

Stir up puffy paint

• To ripen a green tomato, wrap it in a sheet of newspaper or place it in a paper bag. It can then be left on the counter for several days to ripen.

• To keep ice crystals from forming on the top of your quart of ice cream, just cut a square of plastic wrap and push it down onto the surface of the ice cream each time you scoop a bowlful out. It peels off easily when you're ready

for another helping, but there's no ice! It works for me!" -- T.D. in Nebraska

• White vinegar will clean fruit or food-coloring stains from your hands -- and most other places, too!

• F.J. of Texas writes: "Keep a fresh roll of un-scented toilet tissue in the kitchen to clean up the stove and countertop. It works well because of its absorbency, and it saves money on expensive paper towels."

• "If you add a tea-spoon of sugar to your biscuit mix or to the dough for rolls, it will help them to brown well and they will

come out of the oven with golden tops." -- Jan R. of Michigan

• "You can get fi ve or six more uses out of a pump-top lotion bottle if you cut off the top to ac-cess the lotion inside that doesn't come out of the pump once the level is too low. You'd be surprised how much is still in there!

Q: I have several older pieces of furniture in my home. They are mostly darker woods. Can you recommend a good polish? I just moved to a dry region and am afraid the pieces might begin cracking. -- Art, Palm Desert, Calif.

A: My grandmother made her own furniture polish, and I recommend it highly -- if you can tolerate the turpentine smell. For her polish, take 1 cup of boiled linseed oil (which is how you buy it at the hardware store), add one cup of gum turpentine and one half cup of white vinegar. Shake well. Use liberally on your furniture, wipe clean, repeat. After several weeks of using this polish, you will discover a nice, protective coat.

***Q: I have a set of “An-

heuser Busch Budweiser Girls,” which are limited to 1,500 sets. I have No. 144. Each piece is hand-colored and fi nished. Can you give me a value for this set? -- Jean, Decatur, Ill.

A: I assume these are the “Budweiser Girls” steins. If so, I found three of the steins on eBay for about $15 each. The complete set would be worth more. Incidentally, the fi rst “Budweiser Girl” was introduced in 1883. The practice of using beautiful women to promote its beer has continued to this day.

***Q: I have a ceramic Staf-

fordshire dog fi gurine. The label on the bottom claims it is circa 1880. I would like

an estimate of how much it is worth -- a formal appraisal is not required. -- Bill, Albu-querque, N.M.

A: I am not an appraiser and not qualifi ed to provide you with this service. Since you live in Albuquerque, I suggest you hire the services of a good certifi ed appraiser. There are generally two types of appraisals, verbal and writ-ten. The verbal appraisal is less expensive.

***Q: I recently inherited

a set of sterling fl atware. It is the Bridal Rose pattern by Alvin. Can you tell me when it was made? -- Susan, Sun City, Ariz.

A: Your fl atware was made in 1903. It was one of the company’s most ornate patterns. Prices include din-ner fork, $150; gravy ladle, $280; teaspoon, $150; and salad fork, $170.

CORRECTION: In a recent column, the telephone number for Wedgewood china expert Leslie Vander Maulen Canavan of Alexis Antiques was incorrect. The correct number is 314-647-7986. I regret the error. -- Larry Cox

Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to [email protected]. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox is unable to personally answer all reader questions. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.

As the water level rose and headaches started for adults, the fun began for these young-sters. Flooding at the corner of Dyer Road and Nicholson Road created a large outdoor pool for the neighbourhood children to drive their bikes through, canoe in and generally splash around. A chunk of Styrofoam in one of the culverts was to blame for the water.
