THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JULY 6, 2012

Cheers to the Leader Post carrier in the Pleasantdale area. Thank you for such

great early morning delivery. And with a smile on your face too!

Cheers to the SaskPower line crews who were out there during terrible weather

conditions restoring power for customers right across the province, including

southeast Saskatchewan.

Cheers to Councillor Roy Ludwig for giving the electorate a chance to put an X beside his name. Regina has how many candidates running for the top job? It is time for people to come forward to put their name on the ballot, especially the gentleman who has time to follow city

sanding trucks, the waste management trucks picking up garbage from our trash bins, watch for offenders on the “Truck Route”. I am not endorsing Councillor Ludwig at this point, but good for him to put his name out there. It would be a shame for a city this size with all the

advantages we have, not to have a full-slate of candidates.

Jeers to the vandals who go into private yards and take their LED lights and then smash them all over the streets. And to

those who also dump people’s fl ower pots. Anyone can smash these things, maybe

you should try making something instead.

Jeers to the business owner for the potholes bigger than swimming pools in the parking lots. Are you gonna pay for

my vehicle to get fi xed for the damage that your parking lot has done to my vehicle?

Jeers to the law enforcement offi cer that was driving while talking on his cellphone July 3, what a nice way to set an example to the young kids you ticket for talking on

their phones. Shame on you!

Jeers to the guy in the black Ford ext. cab with the Princecraft deck boat who almost

ran over my one-year-old son in his stroller at 1st Street and 14th Avenue.

Jeers to the person in the cowboy boots whistling a tune at 2 a.m in the

Pleasantdale area. You tried to break into my neighbour’s vehicle moments after

you walked by my house. Buddy, you had better think again before whistling a tune

and walking in your clodhoppers on a quiet night past houses with the windows open because that noise woke me up and gave

you away! The police have been called. And then there’s also Karma to consider.

Estevan’s summer sports camps are hoping to bounce back this summer after a year where atten-dance numbers dropped.

The program is de-signed for children be-tween the ages of nine and 14, and offers a wide variety of sports to try throughout the summer.

This summer kids will have a wide variety of sports to choose from, including: squash, skate-boarding, diving, lacrosse and golf.

The more popular camps like skateboarding and golf do have limited spaces, so that kids can the most out of their instruc-tors. The camps are for children of all skill levels and are designed so the kids can improve, as well as have some fun.

For each sport there is a specialized instructor to teach the camp. Laura De-sautels from SaskDiving will be teaching children

Sports camps open for registrationJuly 25 to 27 the proper techniques of diving, Keenan Cummings from Sask Lacrosse will teach the kids in the lacrosse camp Aug. 22 and 23, and Chris Moerike from Squash Sask will kick things off July 7 and 8 with squash camp.

Although there are participant limits on some of the camps there is also a minimum number and if enough people don’t register they could be can-celled with at least seven days notice.

For more informa-tion or questions about the 2012 summer sports camps, people can con-tact Liisa Kleemola at 634-1884 or by e-mail at [email protected]. To register for the camp, people may drop off registration forms at the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre or sign up on ActiveNet online by visiting www.estevan.ca.

Canada Day FestivitiesFloats of all shapes and sizes took part in the annual Canada Day parade held in Beinfait on Sunday

Another year of sports camps is here and registration is now open for children age nine to 14.

I suppose this is what I knowingly recognize as my redundant annual column, but there is something about this time of year that always makes me nostalgic for agricultural fairs.

It is more than the fact the Yorkton Exhibition Association’s annual fair is being held in the city this week, and that means my trekking to the familiar grounds for the local regional 4-H show, dairy goat show and, of course, a plate of curly fries and an elephant ear.

When I was a youngster, my summer holidays were not spent at some camp for kids. Instead it was a near solid six weeks of attending summer fairs - Saskatoon, Yorkton, Melfort, Connaught, Nipawin, Prince Albert, Golburn, Invermay, Swan River, Shand. We showed livestock, and in that era 30 to 40 years ago, it meant being an important part of the fair.

Everybody had a tie to the farm in those days, and so most people attending fairs walked through the barns. It was just the thing to do.

Of course farming itself was different back then. Operations were smaller. They were generally mixed.

Over the years, we always showed registered hogs - as far afi eld as the Toronto Royal twice - but also sheep, dairy goats, even chickens and grain sheaves. People would walk through the barns and look. They would stop to talk, usually about the animals they had at home. In those days,

almost every farmer had a few cows, pigs, raised chickens for eggs and milk. That was the way of farming.

Those days are past.Yes, there are those who want to get

back to being more self-suffi cient on the farm. They see value in raising chickens on grain they grow to produce eggs, or to raise pigs to have a deep freeze full of meat without a cash outlay at the grocery store each week.

In some respects it was a simpler time, which I suppose is something every gen-eration says as it looks back, but it seems true through my eyes.

Farmers had the time, or at least made it, to take their stock to shows all over the Prairies. It was part of growing up for many kids of my generation. You knew you were coming of age when your father let you stay alone at some fair to look after the show stock.

It was another step when you got to drive the truck with the 28-foot trailer behind.

You had earned a level of trust and responsibility, at least that is how I saw

such things.Today, in a world of cellphones and

laptops and GPS, there doesn’t seem to be time for anything. It is hard to imagine a farmer giving up a day, let alone four, fi ve, six, to haul their animals to a summer fair, where they would show one day, and the rest of the time relax and market to the farmers walking through each day.

Today’s livestock producers tend toward large-scale operations, highly spe-cialized in what they do.

The intensive rearing systems of some sectors aren’t popular with consumers, but economic factors, rates of gain and feed conversion tell the tale for farmers. They are far superior to what the mixed farmer achieved a few decades back.

And so summer fairs have evolved. They are all about midways and grandstand shows and entertainment. Few attending venture to even look at the 4-H animals, or goats - which somehow maintain a te-nacious foothold as part of a fair like the one in Yorkton. Those at the fair no longer have that close connection to the farm. For most, they disconnect with that world completely.

So while I wax nostalgic about fairs as the calendar turns to July, I know the clock won’t turn back, even if I wish at times like this that it would. Still for me, summer fairs will be remembered as far more than they are now, and frankly better than they now are too.

Welcome to the world of Rhys Kelso. With Jordan Baker doing some work for Pipeline News for the next couple of weeks, I have been put on Southeast Trader Express duty. One of the great things about this job is that I now have a regular spot to write about whatever my little heart desires and with that, it’s go time.

Everyone will want to pay close at-tention here, because like my co-worker Norm Park, and the 90s band House of Pain, I like to jump around.

I was born and raised in Winnipeg, Man., and after living outside of the prov-ince for a few years now, I have come to realize a few things about my hometown. One of those things is that Winnipeggers like to complain a lot. In fact, if you were to ask any outsider about what they know about the city, most of the answers would be negative. For example, the horrible wind in the winter, the mass number of mosquitoes in the summer or that the city has been awarded, on multiple oc-casions, as the murder capital of Canada (per capita).

Although there are some bad things about living in the ‘Peg, I have come to appreciate the good things, with my time

away from home. I have been out of the city for awhile, but I still like to complain, and holy flying squirrels the roads in Es-tevan are horrible.

When I first arrived to Estevan I was greeted by having to use the back entrance of The Mercury office because there was a big hole in our road. I thought to myself, not a big issue, water main breaks hap-pen all the time, plus I’m from Winnipeg, where if you’re not careful, you will be swallowed by potholes.

As the months went on though, I started developing a hate for the roads in Estevan. Each time I hit one in my little car, I would just think of the potential damage it could do to my car and cringe. I still wasn’t complaining.

Then winter ended and spring arrived and the roads turned into something I have never seen before. Add that on to the fact that the majority of my eight months

working in Estevan I have had to park across the road from the office because of construction, and now the Winnipegger in me is out and I’m complaining about the roads.

The thing that has pushed me over the edge and made me decide to write this column was what I saw recently on the streets of Estevan. Recently the streets of Estevan have been getting a makeover. No, they aren’t fixing potholes. They’re painting lines on the crappy streets. Whose brilliant idea is that? How did that conversation go?

John Doe: “The streets of Estevan are really a problem?”

Jane Doe: “Maybe we should improve them?”

John: “How about we just paint over the deteriorating roads that need fixing?”

Jane: “Brilliant idea!”If something needs to be fixed, a fresh

coat of paint is not going to help at all. I understand at crosswalks it could be a safety issue, so go ahead and paint those, but painting lines, really?

And the rant ends here. Although I said I was complaining like a Winnipeg-ger, I almost feel more like a local now after venting about our roads.

I’ll show you a bumpy road

Fairs bring out the child in me

I would fi rst like to offer a warning at the start of this debate. I’m not a parent and have zero experience with raising a child, so by no means am I an expert in this situation.

But it’s my opinion that parents should start trying something new when it comes to forms of discipline. However, I do not have this opinion because of the new study that came out suggesting that spanking can cause mental illness. The study stated that

people who have been spanked as kids have a two to seven per cent greater chance of encountering mental issues.

I think if you were to do a study about most anything, you would fi nd similar results. Mental illness is a growing problem in society and it is harder to fi nd people who haven’t been affected by it. That two to seven per cent isn’t a big enough number for me. If everyone stopped spanking their children, I don’t think we would see a drop in our mental illness numbers.

However, I do believe it may be time for parents to try a new discipline technique. Spanking/hitting children has been a popular technique for many years. I don’t have any ideas of what else to do, I’m no Dr. Phil. But maybe a change in disciplining children could have a bigger effect on how kids grow up and view the world.

Instead of punishing children with a violent act, is there a way to do it peacefully and still get your point across? I think we should be looking for this new form of discipline and hope one day it will turn into us living in a less violent world.

– Rhys Kelso

Based on my own experience, I don’t have an issue with spanking children.

Assuming, of course, that the spanker remembers to be a parent. A parent shouldn’t beat the crap out of their children, and while a spanking is meant to be a punishment, you want to make your school-aged kid realize he/she was wrong, not walk funny for a week. A parent still loves the child.

But I guess there’s a fi ne line between going too far and discipline. I read about the study that suggests

spanking can cause mental illness, but honestly, what can’t? If you have the predisposition to have a mental disorder, that’s going to be an issue whether or not you’re spanked as a child.

I also assume there is a lot of being able to understand your child’s personality that needs to be considered. Clearly I’m no parent, but either through trial-and-error or just observation, you might know if spanking your kid for stealing a toy from his friend will send him into a death spiral of emotion.

Not everyone wants to spank their children, either, and that’s OK. It could be a moral thing, or just the fact that they aren’t physical people. Seriously, that’s your call. I still don’t think spanking will give a child a mental disorder in their adulthood.

So go ahead, as far as I’m concerned. I think it’s more dangerous to kids to keep giv-ing everyone a ribbon in track and fi eld and refusing to give out zeros on assignments. We have a whole history that shows that an approach that’s a little harsh raises strong, realistic people like our parents and their parents. If you don’t do the work, you get a low grade. If you don’t win the race, you don’t get a fi rst place ribbon. And if a child constantly breaks the rules, maybe a spanking is the answer.

Estevan Motor Speed-way’s much-belated sea-son opener fi nally went ahead on June 29 after the fi rst four race nights of the year were stymied by rain.

The action was worth the wait, as all three classes were full of cars and two of the three features boasted late lead changes.

Action at the track continues tomorrow with the McComb Automotive Fast 40, a modifi ed feature which boasts a prize of $3,000 to the winner.

Shortly after that, on Tuesday, the Dakota

Classic Modified Tour will make its annual stop in Estevan.

During last Friday’s races, Spencer Wilson passed Marlyn Seidler on the second-last lap of the modifi ed feature to earn his fi rst career mod victory.

Seidler, who is from Underwood, N.D., led the 24-car fi eld for virtually the entire race until he was overtaken by Wilson and his 75W car.

“It’s a little bit of an advantage to start near the back so you can watch where the track’s going and

sneak up on those guys,” Wilson said.

Wilson said the track conditions for the feature were conducive to a lot of movement.

“In the heat race, I was a little bit nervous. It was a pretty heavy track. But it was nice to see that the track kind of slicked off a little bit, not a whole lot, but it made it so a guy can move around on the track and do some passing.”

Jay Noteboom of Hin-ton, Iowa, won last year’s tour stop at EMS.

In the stock car fea-

ture, Joe Flory of Williston earned victory after pulling off a late comeback of his own.

Defending po in t s champion Rocky Alex-ander led for most of the race after starting on the pole, but Flory got past him late in the race to take the checkered fl ag.

In the hobby feature, Michael Dionne grabbed the lead on the fi fth lap and never let it go, despite three cautions after that point.

Gary Goudy Sr. led the fi rst four laps before being passed by Dionne.

Yesterday I found myself looking through some older articles on our website and was happy when I landed on this one. Sometimes you just stumble upon something that acts as a wise reminder when it comes to life and all of its angles. This article is all about parenting tips my friend’s mother had written for her (some 18 years ago) before she became a mother.

As we enjoy the long days of summer and the warmth it brings, allow yourself time to spend with your children - whatever their age(s). These tips serve as great reminders on how we can build strong, healthy relationships in our homes. Add your own tips and ideas to this list and make it your own. Print it out, post it on your bathroom mirror to remind you everyday to be the best parent you can pos-

sibly be. Our kids need us to dig deep and build them up. They deserve it. Take what you will and build your home and without you knowing, you will be creat-ing a haven for your children and others to run toward. Happy parenting, all.

NationalOTTAWA - Embattled

International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda is step-ping down as an MP at the end of this month, just as speculation heats up about a shake-up in the cabinet ranks.

Oda’s spending habits had become national water-cooler talk earlier this year, when it was revealed she had rejected one fi ve-star hotel in London for another swankier establishment at more than double the cost.

She had also hired a luxury car and driver for an average of $1,000 per day. Details of her expenses were released to The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.

Oda repaid the differ-ence in rooms, the limo service, and the cost of a $16 glass of orange juice during an intense week of criticism in the House of Commons and in the public sphere.

But it was not the fi rst time she had reimbursed the public purse for spending, and the talk around Ottawa was that her days in cabinet were numbered.

In a statement on Tues-day, Oda said it had been a privilege to have served the constituents in the rid-ing of Durham. She did not say why she was resigning, and her offi ce said was not available for comment.

***MONTREAL - An

Albertan man attempting to run across Canada for char-ity was arrested in Quebec for taking his journey along

the shoulder of the busy Trans-Canada Highway.

Curtis Hargrove faces a charge of obstructing justice after he refused a police of-fi cer’s demand Monday that he get off the autoroute near St-Jean-Port-Joli, about 120 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.

Hargrove didn’t un-derstand why he was asked to leave the roadside, par-ticularly since he said other Quebec police patrollers had stopped to talk to him the day before without a hint of a warning.

Right before his arrest, he told police he would keep running regardless.

‘’They said, ‘Well, unfortunately we’ll have to arrest you,’ “ said Hargrove, who’s raising money for a children’s hospital in Ed-monton.

“I kinda was being stubborn to kinda prove a point that I am doing some-thing for charity.”

The 23-year-old, who has been running about 50 kilometres a day since he left Newfoundland in early May, slipped out of his refl ective vest and took off his iPod before police drove him to a station in Quebec City.

Hargrove was handed a Sept. 21 court date and released a few hours later after signing a written promise not to run on the Trans-Canada in Quebec.

The runner’s route through the rest of the province has since been redrawn to follow a second-ary highway parallel to the

Trans-Canada.His goal is to raise $1

million for the Stollery Chil-dren’s Hospital Foundation and he has so far collected $14,000 during a run he ex-pects to complete in the fall.

***TORONTO - A Ca-

nadian woman kidnapped in Kenya says it was fi ve minutes of shock as gunmen seized her and three other aid workers from a refugee camp.

After that, Qurat-Ul-Ain Sadazai, of Gatineau, Que., says they were driven off then marched by night some 70 kilometres into Somalia.

Speaking from Nairobi, Sadazai, 38, says she be-lieves the kidnapping was motivated by money rather than ideology.

The four were rescued Monday after three days in Somalia, when Kenyan authorities swooped down on the group, killing one kidnapper.

Also kidnapped and rescued were Steven Den-nis, 37, of Toronto, Astrid Sehl, 33, of Norway, and Glenn Costes, 40, a Filipino, who was shot and injured during the initial kidnap-ping.

InternationalRALEIGH, N.C. -

President Barack Obama says he is saddened to hear that Andy Griffi th has died at age 86 and called the ac-tor an extraordinary talent.

Obama said in a state-ment Tuesday that Griffi th was beloved by generations and revered by entertainers.

Obama was one of many people to speak fondly of Griffi th’s career. Griffi th was most famous for his character Sheriff Andy Tay-lor from “The Andy Griffi th Show.”

Ron Howard played Sheriff Taylor’s son, Opie, on the show. Howard says Griffi th was inspiring to grow up around and the show was an amazing en-vironment.

Don Knotts was the goofy Deputy Barney Fife. Knotts’ widow, Francey Yarborough Knotts, says Griffi th was in good spirits when she spoke with him June 1, his birthday.

Knotts died in 2006 at age 81.

***GENEVA - Police say

fi ve foreign climbers have died in a mountain accident in Switzerland near the Ital-

ian border.Police in the southern

Valais region of Switzer-land said the mountaineers successfully reached the 4,010-meter (13,155-foot) high Lagginhorn summit on Tuesday but plunged more than several hundred meters (yards) to their deaths after beginning to descend.

A sixth member of the group who had stopped before reaching the summit immediately alerted rescue authorities, but the five climbers died on the spot.

Police had no immedi-ate information on the cause of the accident. Details on the victims’ identities and their nationalities were not immediately available. Prosecutors opened an in-vestigation.

***BERLIN - A gunman

in southern Germany took hostages and fi red shots, possibly killing one person, when court bailiffs sought to remove him from his apart-ment Wednesday morning in a dispute over rent, police said.

K a r l s r u h e p o -lice spokesman Juergen Scheufer said two bailiffs went to the man’s apartment building at about 9 a.m. to eject him for failing to pay his rent, and then multiple shots were fi led.

Scheufer said there have been reports of one person killed and several taken hostage, but it was not possible to confi rm them at this point.

“We have heard there could be one dead but we can’t confi rm that because we haven’t had any contact with the hostage taker,” Scheufer said in a telephone interview.

***PORT ANGELES,

Wash. - Several reports of aggressive mountain goats have prompted Olympic National Forest officials to close a popular trail on Mount Ellinor for at least two weeks.

The emergency closure affects both the upper and lower portions of Mount El-linor Trail No. 812, KING-TV reported.

Stephanie Neil, recre-ation manager for the for-est’s Hood Canal Ranger District, told the Peninsula Daily News that in the last two weeks rangers have received a number of reports of goats coming within 10 feet of hikers.

“Nobody has been hurt by the goats,” she said. “But a number of people have felt threatened.”

Forest rangers will re-evaluate the closure in about two weeks, Neil said.

That was one nice birthday present for Carter Chamblin.

While the infant son of Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Corey Cham-blin was celebrating his fi rst birthday back home in Regina, his father was getting splashed with a Gatorade shower in Ham-ilton after winning his CFL coaching debut against the Tiger-Cats.

Actually it was just before he won his coach-ing debut, which is worth pointing out. Rider running back Brandon West, and a few of his teammates, doused Chamblin with the cooler while 54 seconds still remained in the Rid-ers’ season-opening 43-16 blowout over the Ticats Fri-day night. Chamblin smiled, but was seen pointing at the score clock while swatting ice cubes off his shirt in the sweltering southern Ontario heat.

“I told them ‘Let’s fi n-ish!’” Chamblin said after the game, which gives you some idea of his style. The game is to be played full out for 60 minutes, no shortcuts.

And let’s be honest. There isn’t a soul out there who believed the Roughrid-ers would go into Ivor Wynne Stadium and thor-oughly dominate the Ticats like they did last week. Not even Chamblin who was confi dent in his troops going in but admitted “I thought it would he close going into the fourth quarter.”

It wasn’t. The Rid-ers opened a 7-0 lead 10 minutes into the game on the fi rst of three Weston Dressler touchdown passes from Darian Durant and they never relinquished the lead the rest of the game. They led 7-3, 16-13 and 33-16 by quarter on the way to a nearly four touchdown

blowout win.And here’s where you

get some “Rider Insider” stuff. Perhaps the biggest turning point in the game came midway through the second quarter with the Riders leading by a point. Durant hooked up with a 52-yard pass to Dressler which replays clearly showed wasn’t a comple-tion. But the Rider offence raced down the fi eld with quarterbacks coach Khari Jones screaming in the headset “Get on the ball! Get on the ball!” They got the next play off before the Ticats could challenge even though Hamilton coach George Cortez had

his hand on the yel-low hanky. Then one play after that, Durant threw a 29-yard touchdown to Chris Getzlaf.

What does this mean? It means this

Chamblin coaching staff is “with it”, it’s sharp, and along with the players, they’re all singing from the same hymn book, to coin a phrase.

We’ve discussed the many similarities between Chamblin and Rider legend Kent Austin, but as each day goes by, it becomes spooky how their methods parallel one another. Each has taken criticism for their “my way or the highway approach,” but their results speak for themselves.

As for last Friday eve-ning in Hamilton, it was a pretty good night for the Chamblin boys.

Casual baseball fans may be in for a surprise when they study the ros-ters of the American and National League teams for the mid-season classic, this year scheduled for July 10 at Kansas City.

Oh, the usual, familiar names will be around - Josh Hamilton, Jose Bautista, Derek Jeter - thanks to fan voting, which is weighted heavily on popularity and name familiarity rather than merit.

So when names like Trout, Trumbo, McCutcheon and Castro show up, don’t be surprised. There is a constant changing of the guard in the majors and this year is no different.

So who is Trout? He’s Mike, a great hitter with the Los Angeles Angels, whose offensive exploits this year were partially overshadowed by the non-hitting woes of Al-

bert Pujols, the $256 million free-agent signee who barely hit his weight through the fi rst two months of the season. Trout played 20 games in AAA Salt Lake City and bat-ted .403 before being called up to the bigs. In his fi rst 50 games, he had seven homers and a batting average of .344.

Trumbo is Trout’s team-mate, Mark. Remember the M and M Boys of the Yankees in the 1960s (Mantle and Maris)? This Angels T and T duo (TNT is the obvious nickname for the pair) might be just as explosive.

A second-year third-baseman, Trumbo belted 18 homers in his fi rst 65 games this season and had a slugging per cent of .610, trailing only Hamilton and “Big Papi” David Ortiz in that category.

McCutcheon is Andrew, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who haven’t had a winning record since 1991. A centrefi elder

and the epitome of a fi ve-tool player (hits for average, for power, has speed, a strong arm and great fi elder), Mc-Cutcheon’s name surfaces when fans start talking about the best player in the game to-day. And the Pirates? They’re over .500, thanks in large part to McCutcheon’s heroics.

Castro? He’s Starlin Castro of the Cubs and he’s a slick-fielding shortstop who plays for a lousy team. Somebody has to represent the Cubs in the Midsummer Classic, so he’s likely to be their representative.

Tune in to the all-star game broadcast and you’ll certainly see the familiar names. It won’t take long for the newcomers to become household names, too.

• Janice Hough of left-coastsportsbabe.com: “Ryan Leaf said at his sentencing, ‘I’m lazy, selfi sh and dishon-est.’ Was he talking about why he should be sent to prison, or announcing a future run for Congress?”

• Greg Cote of the Mi-ami Herald: “Major league umpires are now wearing military-style cooling packs under their heavy gear to combat the heat. Fans re-sponded by saying they’d prefer the umpires suffer.”

• Another one from Cote: “The Panthers picked 23rd in the NHL Draft, which is generally considered to be the largest gathering of white teenagers outside of an Emi-nem concert.”

• Steve Simmons of Sunmedia, on Twitter: “First reason to worry about Leaf

draft pick Matt Finn: His favourite player growing up was Bryan McCabe.”

• Twitter:@Dave_Stubbs “With a $687,500 contract, #Habs Ryan White will only have $687,500 left after budgeting for his haircuts.”

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “White Sox slug-ger Adam Dunn is on pace for 260 strikeouts in one season. Which would beat the old record of striking out 223 times, set when I was dating.”

• Currie again: “Word out of Winnipeg is the Bomb-ers’ new stadium won’t be completed this season. Same goes for most of Buck Pierce’s passes.”

• TNT’s Charles Bark-ley, explaining all the anti-LeBron James sentiment: “Everybody hates the home-coming queen because she’s pretty. All the ugly girls hate the homecoming queen. And all the dumb kids hate the smart kids. That’s just the way it is.”

• English track coach Charles van Commenee, not worried about teen sprinter Adam Gemili competing in the Olympics: “It’s not like I am sending my 12-year-old niece to fi ght al-Qaida.”

• Another one from Currie: “The Toronto Blue Jays pitching in brief: Right-handed, left-handed and

short-handed.”• Ex-closer Eddie Guar-

dado, when told in 2008 that the Twins had traded him for Rangers pitching prospect Mark Hamburger: “What? I was traded for a hamburger?”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, on college football’s proposed four-team playoff: “Details still have to be worked out, including how to make sure that Boise State fi nishes fi fth every year.”

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “At the Olympic Trials, Ashton Eaton set a world record in the Decath-lon, 9039 points, despite competing in a torrential downpour. But in the Lon-don Olympics he could face harsher conditions; a torren-tial downpour, bad food and virtually no dental care.”

• Rick Ball, B.C. Lions radio broadcaster, when smoke obscured the uprights in Edmonton during a point-after attempt: “It’s like the back of Cheech and Chong’s van.”

• Ben Burnett: “Toronto signed 49-year-old left-hand-er Jamie Moyer to a minor league contract, according to a report on the team’s website. “His fastball sounds great if you convert to metric.”

NationalJames Hinchcliffe

once spent three hours waiting for the chance to meet his hero.

When Greg Moore finally emerged to speak to the 12-year-old outside his team truck, Hinch-cliffe was too awe struck to say much during what ultimately turned into a life-changing chat for the aspiring driver.

“I barely could spit out any words, my sister had to ask most of the questions because I was just staring up at this guy like he was God,” Hinchcliffe said. “It changed my life, to this very day. He influenced the design of my helmet, he’s why I wear red gloves, he’s who I model myself after — and it only took 10 minutes for him to make that impression on me.”

Canadian drivers are revered at home, and Moore was quickly mov-ing up through the ranks when he met a young Hinchcliffe at the 1999 race in Toronto. Moore died about four months later in an accident at the season-ending race in Cali-fornia. He was 24.

The pressure is even more intense this week since Hinchcliffe is return-

Wild NHL signings in Minnesotaing home to race Sunday in Toronto. He arrives with some serious buzz: This second season of IndyCar has been a breakthrough for Hinchcliffe, who joined Andretti Autosport this year as Danica Patrick’s replacement, and he’s combined on-track success with strong marketing to become the series’ new-est star.

F o u r - t i m e s e r i e s champion Dario Franchitti remembers the pressure on good friend Moore whenever the series raced in Canada.

“I think the guys in the Canadian press and the Canadian fans, they want a home win and they are go-ing to put a lot of pressure on James to deliver that,” Franchitti said. “I think if James can put that out of his head and get on with it, he’ll be just fine.”

But, Franchitti said, it’s up to Hinchcliffe alone to manage the pressure and not let it interfere with his performance or his approach to Sunday. He has been impressed with Hinchcliffe’s performance so far this season, and sees many similarities between Hinchcliffe and Moore.

“ O n e t h i n g I ’ v e learned about James, I

think he’s very smart and he’ll treat it like any other race,” Franchitti said. “Ob-viously the next big break for James is winning an IndyCar race. He’s been very consistent and done a hell of a job, and I think as long as he treats this race like any other week, he’ll be just fine.

Hinchcliffe is still looking for his first Indy-Car win, but team owner Michael Andretti believes it is coming soon.

***LONDON, Ont . -

Brett MacLean of the Phoenix Coyotes has been admitted to hospital after suffering a cardiac emer-gency.

The team issued a statement on Tuesday say-ing the 23-year-old winger has been admitted to hospital in London, Ont., after suffering a medical emergency while playing hockey Monday night in Owen Sound, Ont.

The Coyotes said Ma-cLean received CPR on site before being taken by ambulance to hospital in Owen Sound. He was then taken by air ambulance to London, where he was admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Brett and his family,” Phoenix general manager Don Maloney said in a state-ment. “We request that everyone please respect their privacy at this time. We will provide an update on Brett’s status when information is available.”

MacLean played most of last season with the Port-land Pirates, the Coyotes’ American Hockey League affiliate, where the London native had 25 goals and 23 assists in 63 games.

***CALGARY - A Uni-

versity of Calgary study measuring heart rates and electrical activity could eventually reduce deaths of chuckwagon horses.

Lead researcher Re-naud Leguillette says the study uses electrocardio-gram (EKG) equipment to monitor horses before, during and after their morning exercise.

It will continue with selected horses competing in evening chuckwagon races at the Calgary Stam-pede.

Leguillette says there have been several cases over the years where hors-es have died from heart attacks after competing.

Leguillette says he has studied horses at other chuckwagon races and says the animals are ex-

tremely fit and their stress levels remarkably low.

InternationalST. PAUL PARK,

Minn. - The Minnesota Wild have made the big-gest splash in NHL free agency, signing coveted free agents Ryan Suter and Zach Parise to 13-year deals.

The Wild confirmed the signings on its website Wednesday.

Parise had 31 goals and 38 assists in 82 games for the New Jersey Devils last season, where he was the team’s captain.

Suter had seven goals and 39 assists in 79 games with the Nashville Preda-tors last season and rep-resented the team at the all-star game in Ottawa.

“This is a great day in the history of the Min-nesota Wild,” said general manager Chuck Fletcher. “We are extremely excited to add the collective skill, experience and character of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter to an already promis-ing roster.”

***WIMBLEDON, Eng-

land - Roger Federer earned a record 33rd Grand Slam semifinal berth and moved closer to a record-tying seventh Wimbledon title when he beat Mikhail Youzhny 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 Wednesday.

Federer had been tied with Jimmy Connors for the most major semifinals. He reached the final four at Wimbledon for the first time since 2009, when he won the title.

Federer showed no sign of the back ailment that prompted him to seek treatment during the first set of his previous match. In the second game he converted his fifth break-point chance, and he pulled away from there.

A brief rain delay couldn’t slow Federer, and neither could the No. 26-seeded Youzhny, who seemed pleased at times just to win a point.

I’ve been losing my mind (and spending way too much money) at the Farmer’s Market. The vast array of beautiful fruits and vegetables overwhelms me every time. Last week, the bundles of Rainbow Swiss chard with its colorful stems and fan-like leaves were too tempting to resist. The watermelon radishes, which look like a rose-colored pinwheels inside, also captured my attention. I originally planned to cook the Swiss Chard with some smoke-roasted tomatoes and add the radishes to my coleslaw recipe.

When it was time to prepare the greens, I de-cided to add a few cups of the leftover coleslaw vegetables (without any dressing on them) into the pot, too. It’s wonderful! You also can add in kale or spinach, with or instead of the cabbage, if that’s what you have on hand. Mixing fresh and frozen greens also works beautifully in

this versatile recipe.I love adding oil-

packed, sun-dr ied or smoke-roasted tomatoes to fi nish the greens, but a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of lemon peel also is tasty.

MIXED GREENS WITH GARLIC AND LEMON

1 tablespoon olive oil2 large bunches Swiss

chard (about 2 pounds to-tal), cleaned, stemmed and chopped, stems reserved (see Tip below)

1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 large carrot, chopped2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon red pep-

per fl akes1/2 cup reduced-sodi-

um chicken broth or water1 teaspoon reduced-

sodium soy sauce1 small head green

cabbage, fi nely shredded2 small watermelon

radishes, chopped (op-tional)

1 teaspoon fi nely grat-ed lemon zest

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar

1 teaspoon freshly

ground black pepper3 tablespoons chopped,

sun-dried or smoke-roasted tomatoes and the oil

1. In a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the Swiss chard stems, onion and carrot, and cook until the onion is translu-cent and the stems soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper fl akes and stir until garlic is fra-grant, about 1 minute. Add the broth or water and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Increase heat to high and bring sauce to a boil.

2. Decrease the heat to medium-low, add the Swiss chard, cabbage and rad-ishes, if desired, and toss to mix. Cover and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until greens are tender. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar and black pepper. Remove from heat and serve with sun-dried or smoke-roasted tomatoes and a drizzle of the oil. Makes 6 servings.

TIP: Store unwashed fresh greens in a plastic bag, removing as much of the air from the bag as possible, for up to 5 days. The longer they are stored, the more bitter the

fl avor becomes. Do not wash greens before storing because exposure to water encourages spoilage.

To clean fresh greens, discard any leaves that are wilted, brown, yellowing or damaged. Immerse greens in a sink full of water and wash well to remove sand, grit and any debris. Lift out, drain, rinse and repeat until the water is clean.

To stem, make a V-shaped cut where the stem

meets the leaf. Use the stems the way you would use celery, and cook them with the onions. Stack the leaves and coarsely chop them into 3- to 4-inch rib-bons, or roll several leaves together into a cigar shape and slice into thin ribbons.

Q: I have a Big Little Book, “Lone Ranger and the Black Shirt Highwayman.” The only publishing date I can fi nd is 1939. -- Steve, Southbury, Conn.

A: The fi rst Big Little Book was issued during the Christmas season of 1932 and was titled “The Adven-tures of Dick Tracy.” The nifty little books originally sold for a dime and were an immediate hit. I think your Lone Ranger book is worth about $25, but to fi nd out for certain, I suggest you contact Larry Lowery, the Big Little Book Club, P.O. Box 1242, Danville, CA 94526; or [email protected]. Also, check out the club’s dandy website at www.biglittlebooks.com.

D E A R P AW ’ S CORNER: How often should my 12-year-old mutt, “Akira,” see the veterinarian? He’s very healthy for an older dog, but my girlfriend says he needs to have more than a once-a-year physical. Is that true? -- Matt C., Longwood, Fla.

DEAR MATT: Twice a year is a good guideline for senior pets to visit their veterinarian, if they’re otherwise healthy. That’s because older dogs and cats can develop condi-tions common to pets of advanced age quickly -- conditions that sometimes go unnoticed but should be treated sooner rather than later so the pet’s quality of life doesn’t diminish.

It’s normal for a pet to slow down as it ages. But the reduced activity that an owner sees as nor-mal can mask developing conditions like arthritis,

thyroid imbalance, heart disease or cancer. A dog or cat’s slowing pace also can lead to obesity, meaning owners need to regulate and monitor their diets closely so that senior pets get proper nutrition while avoiding excess calories.

Many vets will rec-ommend a twice-yearly exam once a pet reaches an age considered senior. (This varies a bit for dogs. Larger dogs are often con-sidered senior pets after age 8 or 9; smaller dogs might be 10 or older.) It’s not a moneymaking move -- it’s a good recommen-dation. The exam should include a full physical, along with testing for de-

Senior Pets Need Extra Checkupsveloping conditions like diabetes or other illnesses that, untreated, can drasti-cally shorten a pet’s life.

Addi t ional ly, you should keep Akira’s vac-cinations up to date and read up on pet care for senior dogs. There are many things owners can do to improve their pet’s quality of life beyond extra medications: special diets, specific exercises and modified play are among the steps owners can take.

new entry “Triple F Life: Fans, Friends & Family”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Aspects favor socializing with family and friends, but an irksome workplace situation could intrude. No use grumbling, Lamb. Just do it, and then get back to the fun times.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) There’s still time for you Ferdinands and Fernandas to relax and sniff the roses. But a major work project looms and soon will demand much of your atten-tion through the 23rd.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your enthusiasm persuades even the toughest doubters to listen to what you’re proposing. But don’t push too hard, or you’ll push them away. Moderate for best results.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels are rising, and you feel you can handle anything the job requires. That’s great. But don’t isolate yourself. Keep your door open to your workplace colleagues.

LEO (July 23 August 22) A workplace change could lead to that promotion you’ve been hoping for. But you’ll have to face some tough competition before the Lion can claim his or her share of the goodies.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your rigid-ity regarding a difficult workplace situation could be the reason your colleagues aren’t rushing to your as-sistance. Try being more fl exible in your demands.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) That uneasy mood could be your Libran inner voice reminding you that while it’s great to be

with your new friends, you need to take care not to ignore your old ones.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A sudden spate of criticism could shake the Scorpion’s usually high sense of self-confidence. Best advice: You made a decision you believed in -- now defend it.

SAGITTARIUS (No-vember 22 to December 21) Your reluctance to help restart a stalled relationship could be traced to unre-solved doubts about your partner’s honesty. Rely on a trusted friend’s advice.

CAPRICORN (De-cember 22 to January 19) The capricious Sea Goat is torn between duty and diversion. Best advice: Do both. Tend to your workaday chores, then go out and enjoy your well-earned fun time.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Cutting back on some of your ac-tivities for a few days helps restore your energy levels. You should be feeling ready to tackle your many projects early next week.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A co-worker might be secretly carping about your work to mutual colleagues. But associates will come to your defense, and the situation will ul-timately work to your ad-vantage.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your ambition makes you a success at whatever you choose to do -- especially if it’s in the world of the performing arts.


• Got lots of fresh herbs from your summer garden? Hang bunches upside down in a cool, dry place for a week or so, and then crumble the leaves into small jars. Voilá: your own dried herbs.

• “Want super-crunchy fries at home? Soak potato pieces in very cold water for an hour (fridge is best, or add ice often); dry and fry. Drain well, dust LIGHTLY with fl our and quick-fry one more time for only a minute or so.” -- T.C. in Idaho

• If you want to cool your canned drinks quickly, add water to the cooler with a lot of ice, submerge all drinks below the ice line, and wait about 20 minutes. Without the water, it takes much longer. The water extends the surface contact of the ice.

• To keep your ladder from sinking into soft sand or dirt, put each leg into a can or bucket. It creates a much larger surface area, thereby stabilizing the legs.

• If you run out of bleach, add four tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to a small load of whites.

Outdoor Fire Pit SafetyWith summer just around the corner, it’s time for families to enjoy an evening around their backyard fi re pits. To ensure your

summer fun is not dampened, keep in mind a few fi re safety tips while using your outdoor fi re pit.-Many people are allergic to smoke, so be courteous to your neighbours and don’t allow smoke from your fi re to interfere with their enjoyment of the outdoors.-Keep your fi re manageable. Large fi res can give off excessive amounts of heat, which could easily ignite surrounding combustible materials (fences, decks, sheds).-Never start a fi re in your pit with fl ammable liquids. Remember your boy scout days, and start it with small kindling. -Small children should always be kept a safe distance from the fi re pit.-Keep a garden hose nearby, just in case hot embers do escape. -Never leave your fi re unattended. Before you retire for the evening, soak your fi re down with water to ensure all hot embers are completely extinguished.-A permit is required for all outdoor fi re pits. They’re free. Just drop by the Fire Hall for a permit application.-If requested to extinguish your fi re by a City Offi cial (Police or Fire), please do so immediately. Failure to comply will result in a revoked permit, and a fee for service should the Fire Department be called to extinguish it on your behalf. Be fi re safe and enjoy your fi re pit this summer.

SUMMER SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS Environment Canada monitors the weather 24 hours a day, every day of the year. If a severe storm is on the way, the weather service uses the local media and Environment Canada’s Weather Radio to alert the public. There are two basic types of alerts: A Weather watch is provided when conditions are favorable for a severe storm to develop. These are usually issued early in the day. It is a good idea to pay attention to the weather and listen to the radio or TV for up-dated information. A Weather Warning means that severe weather is happening or that severe weather conditions are very likely.A thunderstorm develops in an unstable atmosphere when warm moist air near the earth’s surface rises quickly and cools. The moisture condenses to form rain droplets and dark thunder clouds. These storms are often accompanied by hail, lightning, heavy rain, high winds and tornadoes. Thunderstorms are usually over in an hour, although a series of thunderstorms can last for several hours.Lightning –During a thunderstorm the air is charged with electricity. Bolts of lightning hit the ground at about 40,000 km per second – so fast that the series of strikes hitting the ground appear as a single bolt. What To Do When There Is Lightning:

1. Estimate how far away the lightning is. Every second between the fl ash of lightning and the thunderclap equals 300 meters. If you count fewer than 30 seconds, take shelter immediately.2. If indoors, stay away from windows, doors, fi replaces, radiators, sinks, bathtubs, appliances, metal pipes, telephones and other things which conduct electricity. (You can use a cell phone)3. Unplug radios, computers and televisions.4. Do not go to rescue the laundry on the clothesline as it conducts electricity. If outdoors, take shelter in a building, ditch or a culvert but never under a tree.5. If caught in the open, do not lie fl at but crouch in the leap frog position and lower your head.6. Do not ride bicycles, motorcycles or golf carts or use metal tools as they conduct electricity.7. If swimming or in a boat, get back to shore immediately.8. If you are in a car, stay there but pull away from trees which might fall on you.9. You may resume activity 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder. Tornadoes

Tornadoes are violent windstorms identifi ed by their twisting funnel- shaped cloud. They are always produced by thunderstorms, but not every thunderstorm produces a tornado. They travel between 20 to 90 km/h, are erratic and can change course suddenly. Do not chase tornadoes. Tornado Watch means the weather could develop a tornado. Tornado Warning means a tornado has been seen or it is very likely that one will develop shortly.

Warning Signs of Tornadoes:

• Severe thunderstorms with frequent thunder and lightning• An extremely dark sky sometimes highlighted by green or yellow clouds• A rumbling sound, such as a freight train or a whistling sound similar to a jet aircraft• A funnel cloud at the rear of a thunder cloud often behind a curtain of heavy rain or hail What to Do During a Tornado:

If you are near a building:1. Listen to your radio during severe thunderstorms2. If a Tornado Warning has been issued take cover immediately.3. Go to the basement or take shelter in a small interior ground fl oor room, closet or hallway.4. Protect yourself by sitting under a heavy table or desk.5. Stay away from windows and outside walls and doors.6. Do not use elevators.7. Avoid large halls, churches, arenas etc.: their roofs are more likely to collapse.8. Stay close to the ground, protect your head and hide from fl ying debris.If you are driving:

1. If you are driving try to get to a nearby shelter –drive away from the tornado at a right angle.2. Do not get caught in a car or mobile home – take shelter elsewhere. If no shelter is available, lie face down in a ditch or culvert away from the vehicle or mobile home.3. If a tornado seems to be standing still, it is either traveling away from you or heading right for you.4. Stay close to the ground, protect your head and hide from fl ying debris.zvHail:

Hail forms when updrafts in thunderclouds carry raindrops upwards into extremely cold areas and freeze layer upon layer until they are too heavy and fall to the ground Hailstones vary in size from peas to grapefruits and fall at great speed. People have been seriously injured by hailstones.What to Do When It Hails:1. Take cover when hail begins to fall.2. Do not go out to cover plants, cars or garden furniture or to rescue animals.
