THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2012

Cheers to all those who volunteered this year for the SCRC Racing Series. It was another successful year, and it couldn’t have been done without you. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Cheers to the local businesses that have fi xed their parking lots.

Cheers to the trade show this year, as there were almost no balloons. I am allergic to latex, so kudos to the organizing committee.

Cheers to great customer service at some of the businesses in town.

Cheers to the grocery stores in town for keeping the public informed about the latest E. Coli scare.

Jeers to the people who ride their bicycles after dark when your bike has no lights or refl ectors. It’s extremely diffi cult for motorists to see you.

Jeers to people who still talk on their cellphones while driving. It’s incredibly inconsiderate to other drivers.

Jeers to drivers who blindly cut other people off. It’s especially bad at Souris Avenue and Sixth Street when people changes lanes as they go around the corner without looking.

Jeers to everyone travelling north and south who blows through the traffi c light at Eight Street and 13th Avenue. Pay attention.

Jeers to the kid in the black truck who was driving at a very high speed on a residential street when my kids were playing outside.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel compelled to get involved on the “right side” of a seemingly unfair fi ght. But appearances can be decep-tive. Get the facts before going forth into the fray.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bullying oth-ers into agreeing with your position could cause resentment. Instead, per-suade them to join you by making your case on a logi-cal point-by-point basis.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist pushing for a workplace decision you might feel is long overdue. Your impatience could backfi re. Meanwhile, fo-cus on that still-unsettled personal situation.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor doing something dif-ferent. You might decide to redecorate your home, or take a trip somewhere you’ve never been, or even change your hairstyle.

LEO (July 23 to Au-gust 22) You might want to take a break from your busy schedule to restore your energy levels. Use this less-hectic time to also reassess your plans and make needed changes.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) What you like to think of as determination might be seen by others as nothing more than stubbornness. Try to be more fl exible if you hope to get things

resolved.LIBRA (September 23

to October 22) Watch that you don’t unwittingly re-veal work-related informa-tion to the wrong person. Best to say nothing until you get offi cial clearance to open up.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) With things settling down at work or at home, you can now take on a new challenge without fear of distraction. Be open to helpful suggestions from colleagues.

SAGITTARIUS (No-vember 22 to December 21) Your creativity can help resolve an emotional situation that might oth-erwise get out of hand. Continue to be your usual caring, sensitive self.

CAPRICORN (De-cember 22 to January 19) You could impress a lot of infl uential people with the way you untangle a few knotty problems. Mean-while, a colleague is set to share some welcome news.

AQUARIUS (Janu-ary 20 to February 18) Aspects favor recharg-ing your social life and meeting new people. It’s also a good time to renew friendships that might be stagnating due to neglect on both sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Con-gratulations. Your talent for working out a highly technical problem earns you well-deserved praise. The weekend could bring news about a friend or relative.

The Trekkers are as passionate about their hobby as Trekkies.

The Souris Valley Trekkers hosted their an-nual saddle ride on Sept. 29, starting as usual from the centre of the village of Roche Percee. The ride is the fi nal one of the season for the Trekkers who hostd a wagon ride earlier in the summer.

About 30 riders gath-ered in the village, where they mounted their horses before setting off for the trails to the west. The day was capped off when the group returned and had food and drinks served for everyone.

Prior to last week’s ride, Don Wyatt, president of Souris Valley Trekkers, said he expected the trails whould be in good shape after the past two years they have encountered mostly wet conditions.

“They’ll be dry. I haven’t been out on them lately, but they’ll be dry,

so they’ll be able to get to spots they couldn’t get to the last couple of years,” he said. “Even in the sum-mer the year before, we couldn’t cross the river because the water was too high.”

He expected they would be able to cross at low-level sections along the river this time around.

Unlike the summer ride, Wyatt noted the ride consists of saddle horses only and no wagons be-cause there are several spots where it isn’t reason-able to take a wagon such as the river crossings.

The riders took lunch-es with them to eat on the trail and got back in the late afternoon for a barbecue.

Wyatt has been with the Trekkers from the be-ginning, before he even had a horse. He said what really drives people to these rides is the beauty of the Roche Percee valley.

“I think in the sur-rounding area, it’s the

biggest thing for this one in the fall especially,” said Wyatt. “And it’s one fi nal kick at the cat to get out and ride your horse. A lot of people don’t have any place to go out, except maybe the ditches to go out and ride. It’s a last kick at the cat to go out and ride in out of the way places.”

He said there’s also the fellowship aspect of getting out again with the different horse people everyone meets over the years. He noted that they often meet new people there as well.

“This one’s a little more localized because it’s only one day, and it’s hard to travel a long way for a one-day ride,” Wyatt added.

Wyatt wasn’t able to attend the ride because he, along with his wife, were busy at the South East Corner Team Penning Series. The pair attended provincials earlier this year and the event, hosted near Roche Percee this past weekend, was one of the last of the season. Finals will be held next weekend in Corning.

On track with the TrekkersThe Souris Valley Trekkers hosted their fall saddle ride on Sept. 29. The roughly 30 riders set out for the trails from the centre of Roche Percee for the day trek.

How often of late have we heard the comment somewhere that “everything is better with bacon?”

The more pressing question might be whether we will be able to afford bacon in the future?

That might sound like a stretch, but at present, the pork industry is under duress.

Big Sky Pork in Saskatchewan went through bankruptcy in the past, and it took a deal, which saw many creditors, including farmers who sold grain to the large pork producer taking less than owed, to keep the barns open.

The bailout in 2009 was enough to keep Big Sky afl oat, but it appears that help wasn’t enough and Big Sky is once again in trouble fi nancially.

Big Sky is deep in red ink. The com-pany is said to be in debt to the tune of about $75 million.

So now Big Sky will go up for sale

if the court approves.With 400 employees, and the major-

ity of Saskatchewan’s pork production, what becomes of the company will have a great deal to do with whether pigs remain anything but a hobby aspect of farming in this province.

This time Big Sky is not alone.Puratone, a major producer in

Manitoba, announced recently it was seeking court protection from credi-tors under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act.

The straw to break the industry’s back is the current high price of grain.

This stands to reason given that feed costs are the largest single input cost in producing pork.

This fall has certainly seen grain prices jump. Poor corn crops in the United States, and the new demand of ethanol production is squeezing corn that would be going to feed livestock.

Barley crops in Canada haven’t exactly been bumper either, and that means higher feed prices here too.

The question is whether you believe grain prices are likely to decline enough over the long term to make large-scale pig barns viable. It seems rather un-likely given current trends and the new biofuel initiatives.

So the question then becomes, how does pork production fi nd profi tability in a world of higher grain prices?

The answer is not easy but will be essential if we are to enjoy affordable bacon in the future.

There is a new void in our vocabu-lary.

It’s recently come to my attention that a pair of important expressions have been excommunicated from our daily routine. Those two expressions are the ever important please and thank you.

To cloak his identity, I will not use a name, but a superior of mine confessed to not using the word please when ask-ing for help from his wife. He is instead, repeatedly corrected by his three-year-old daughter who demands he complete his requests with a polite “please.”

If a grown man is receiving lessons on manners from his daughter, who isn’t yet in elementary school, then it may not be a case of us not teaching man-ners to the next generation. The young girl, in her demand for politeness, is obviously growing up with some sense of propriety.

She knows her Ps and Qs, so they aren’t lost on today’s youth.

Maybe as we age, we just get sick and tired of being overly nice. It doesn’t mean we’re being rude, it may just get exhausting to overdo it all the time.

When I think about it, I can’t recall the last time I specifi cally said please, but I always say thank you. I think as long as you’ve covered one of them in a conversation you won’t have burned any bridges or stepped on anybody’s toes.

Please may get overlooked for a number of reasons. Maybe you ask for a lot of things and have done so with a please so often it’s lost its merit, and to you, it doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Politeness could just be so automat-ic for some people that it’s lost its lustre. I’m guilty for not saying please or thank you to friends or family. Sometimes I operate under the assumption that they know I’m grateful because of course I am, and it’s possible to be so nice it may seem that one is pandering for favour.

Seinfeld covered this topic in an

episode where Jerry and the gang use a friend’s season tickets to the Rangers game. Jerry thanks the friend for the tickets and they go to the game. When asked if he thanked the man again the following day, Jerry said he did not because he had already thanked him previously. It’s suggested that Jerry re-ally snubbed this guy by not thanking him again, and Jerry said he was putting his foot down on overthanking people.

Is it possible to be too nice?That may be what happens in some

cases. If you say please and thank you for each request, maybe on the next one, you think the person helping you out doesn’t need to hear it.

It’s not necessarily rude to skip over your pleases in an encounter. Appar-ently I do it all the time, and it’s cer-tainly never meant as a slight. In most cases, I consider myself quite pleasant without the extra effort in showing off my well-rehearsed manners.

Now that I’m aware of it, and probably some of you are too, we can all make an effort to say please more. Maybe it’s just what everyone else needs to hear.

‘EM WE MEND ‘EM‘EM WE MEND ‘EM


With Midale Credit Union members voting to approve a merger with Con-exus Credit Union, the two institutions will become one at the start of the new year.

Operations for the town’s credit union will remain largely unchanged but members can expect a number of benefi ts in being connected to the Regina-based credit union.

Sheila Peterson, presi-dent of the board of directors for the Midale Credit Union, noted that the Sept. 26 meet-ing the credit union held was

well attended by 161 mem-bers. That was promising for her because they held a more sparsely attended informa-tion meeting regarding the merger in July.

When it came time for members to give their yea or nay, a clear majority stood in favour with 89 per cent voting to approve the amalgamation. The Midale Credit Union has about 900 members and will offi cially become Conexus’ Midale branch on Jan. 1, 2013. As is legislated, 75 per cent of vot-ing members must approve a

merger of this kind. “We were really encour-

aged (by the vote) and as a board, really excited with the possibilities that now lie ahead of us,” said Peterson.

She is happy with the support the merger received, as she said members did have valid concerns that they wanted to address.

“The main issue was people feeling they would lose their identity (as) the Mi-dale Credit Union, and a little bit of community pride and being concerned about being swallowed up by Regina.

That’s not the case,” added Peterson. “Conexus has 47 branches and they’re spread out all over the province. That was the main concern: com-munity pride and identity.”

She said they did ad-dress those concerns at the meeting last week and some-one from Conexus was also on hand to give a presentation for the membership.

“The day-to-day activity will be not even noticeable to the members,” said Peterson. “We will have great access to technical support. There will be specialists in the lending

department and possibly the waiting times will be even less than they are now.”

Lending limits will in-crease because of the size of the assets behind Conexus. She noted that for the tech savvy, there will be apps available for members to complete their banking on their phones. Wider access to the credit union in all parts of the province is another perk Peterson touted.

“That’s one thing we see as a positive, especially for our young people who are going off to school. They’ll be able to access their credit union right in the community they are living.”

She said the idea of a merger began a few years ago as they were facing the challenges that so many other fi nancial institutions are dealing with in regards to changes in regulatory re-quirements and compliance issues. Technological issues as well, were very apparent for them.

“We just felt this was an opportune time for us because we are in a strong fi nancial position right now,” she said. “We’re not strug-gling. There wasn’t a crisis per se, so we thought this was an opportune time for us to explore the possibilities.”

One of those was the amalgamation, and ulti-mately it was that route they felt would give them the best opportunities moving forward.

Peterson noted they considered several credit

unions of various sizes in the province and set out some guiding principles that they considered non-negotiable. Conexus best met the criteria they were concerned with.

“They seemed to be a very willing partner for us. They fi t well into our organi-zation,” said Peterson.

What they were most concerned about was that their staff wouldn’t experi-ence any serious changes, that they’ll always have a presence in Midale and that they would support the com-munity.”

“We wanted to be sure that they would support the community in any of the ef-forts that we had been pursu-ing up to now,” Peterson said. “We’ve always supported our local rink, for instance. They have a very good program for supporting community, so that was very important to us.”

She added that they expect only positive changes in how the credit union will remain connected to Midale, and said all staff are assured of a job, though there may be some changes to title once the transition is made at the start of 2013.

Peterson said they will also be undergoing some changes to their banking system. Two years ago, they experienced a change in their banking platform, but staff was unsatisfi ed. In the fi rst quarter of 2013, they will make a move to the Ovation system, used by other Con-exus branches.

PETA is attacking Thanksgiving and encouraging children to pressure parents into buying a nice tofurkey instead of a once-living gobbler.

Their holiday ad campaign asks children why they would eat turkey if they wouldn’t eat their pet puppy. A billboard went up in Saskatoon with an image of a half-turkey, half-puppy hybrid.

They ask a reasonable question that has a number of answers. Not all of them would satisfy

those staunchly against any consumption of fl esh. People, like most other animals, have eaten other creatures for an incredibly long

time. Why we eat turkeys and not dogs comes from thousands of years of not eating dogs. I don’t know why our ancestors chose not to eat dog, but I’m certain that because they made that choice, I make that choice. It’s just part of my DNA now. In simple terms, I don’t eat dog because my parents didn’t cook it when I was growing up, their parents didn’t cook it for them and so on.

PETA is absolutely right about protecting animals in factory farms. Many chickens and turkeys are bred to have unnaturally large upper bodies and healthy breasts, allowing their legs to cripple under the weight they aren’t meant to carry.

Their bone to fl esh ratio becomes something very similar to the people of the future in Pixar’s Wall-E.

A little discussion between parents and their children about the sometimes harsh conditions the meaty portion of their meals lived under certainly isn’t harmful. Discus-sion is important, and encouraging that isn’t controversial. Young people asking questions isn’t going to hurt anybody.

Sure, PETA’s end game with the ads is to encourage kids to stop eating meat, but I don’t think that will happen. It may just encourage a brief discussion about the role animals play on our dinner plates and how they get there.

Not consuming meat is a choice everyone is welcome to make. Advertising aimed at children is kind of a sleazy business, but in this case, hopefully it leads to a good discussion in the home or classroom and everybody learns something about their food.

– Jordan Baker

It doesn’t really seem right to advertise with children in mind. After all, children aren’t the ones out there spending money on the products. They aren’t the one’s buying the turkey for Thanksgiving supper.

However, I think PETA is doing a good thing gearing their anti-turkey advertisements toward kids.

The way I see it, if a kid sees an image of a dog dressed like a turkey with the writing “You

wouldn’t eat your dog – why would you eat a turkey?” it’s going to bring up a lot of questions. One thing PETA does such a good job of is presenting powerful images. Seeing that turkey-dog makes me think of eating my family pet, which makes me feel nauseous and like a terrible human being.

But for children seeing the advertisement, on top of the scarring associated with imagining eating your pet, will make kids ask questions. For a child to ask a parent, “Hey, what does this advertisement mean? What are they trying to say?” gives an integrative parent the chance to step in with some honest answers. Explaining what PETA, or animal rights organizations like PETA do is educational. Kids deserve to know that there are other options out there beyond carelessly eating whatever hunk of meat is placed on their plate. And parents can explain the extreme beliefs of PETA, the pros and cons of vegan and vegetarian lifestyles and the parent’s own reasons for choosing to eat meat at Thanksgiving supper.

Educated, inquisitive children should be allowed to consider other options. Being encouraged to ignore the problem won’t teach kids anything. And letting them know about the scare tactics that are arguably behind PETA’s powerful images could encour-age them to analyze future advertisements they see. Smart kids who are learning about the world around them, rather than living with the blinders of a meat-and-potatoes eating family who refuse to acknowledge that there are other healthy options, really have something going for them. Try to explain and help them learn about each side of the meat versus no-meat story.

– Tonaya Marr

Should children be the target of PETA ads?

If you haven’t heard, Taylor Swift has a new CD coming out fairly soon. She actually has three new singles out already, which is a lot of new T-Swift tunes for your listening pleasure.

Taylor Swift is defi nitely an artist I go back and forth with. I always buy her al-bums, and I always listen to them and love the incredibly relatable songs about love and life. Mostly love. Love

when it starts. Love when it lasts. Love when it ends. Love when it’s miserable, or life changing, or colourful (the newest single is titled Red, as is the album). She’s a big fan of love songs, and I usually enjoy that.

But after awhile, every Taylor Swift CD gets moved out of my rotation. Firstly, the radio stations quickly overplay her music, so there’s no point listening to the CD

anymore. Secondly, I always get sick of hearing about her relationships. And knowing, thanks to crappy gossip maga-

zines, who she’s been dating. It’s pretty hard to feel sorry for Taylor Swift when she walked away from a relationship with

Taylor Lautner, from the Twilight movies (supposedly the song Back to December is about Lautner). I mean, I’m sorry Swifty, but you let something beautiful like him slip out of your hands, so I’m not going to feel a lot of pity for you.

I do, however, really admire Taylor Swift. It cannot be easy to date in a society where every guy out there knows you’re going to write a song about him at some point and time. And not like a passing song. No, no. Taylor Swift writes songs for the millions of girls who’ve had their hearts smashed, and the radio stations eat that up. If that song’s about you, and you fi gure it out, you’ll have to hear her making sweet money off the heartache that you may have been responsible for.

What I admire about Taylor, though, is the fact that she keeps putting herself out there. She gets dumped by Joe Jonas via a 30-second phone call and she doesn’t let that scare her off. She writes a song about it, picks herself up and gets back out there. And judging by the use of the “l-word” in her songs, she’s really throwing herself back

into relationships.It has to be diffi cult to

love so freely and so often. I’m defi nitely presuming a lot based on her music, but if she completely falls for each of these guys, then that’s a lot of honest relationships where she’s (again, I’m really assuming a lot) not holding back. That’s also a lot of recovery time, by which I mean emotional rants with her girlfriends, ice cream binges and unattractive sobbing. Not that I can relate.

I estimate she will have 50 songs about love after this new CD is released. That’s a lot of relationships, even if some of the songs are about the same guy.

I can’t imagine loving and living like Taylor Swift. She’s taking risks with her heart that I can only admire. So annoying or not, her music and her attitude are inspiring and I’m excited for the next album.

Taylor Lautner: If you happened to read this column, please contact Tonaya Marr by e-mail at [email protected]. You can also get hold of her on Twitter @TonayaMarr. Just think about it.

We heard the phrase “too big to fail” a lot during the global fi nancial crisis in 2008-2009, particularly in reference to banks. We still hear it today regarding economies like Italy and Spain (the latter of which apparently is going to ask for a bailout within the week). But can this phrase be applied to our food?

As the tainted beef saga at XL Foods of Brooks, Alta., is playing out, that just may be the case.

CBC reported NDP MP Malcolm Allen as saying there had been 12 separate recall notices that have resulted in the disposal of more than 860 metric tonnes — some 1.9 million pounds — of beef.

As of the time of this writing, there are 400 items on the food recall list. CBC reports that the Brooks facility, now closed, pro-cesses one-third of the country’s beef.

What’s astonishing is going through the recall list and the growing sense of foreboding. It seems

nowhere is safe.In Estevan, there

are three supermarkets - Sobeys, Co-op, and No Frills.

For Co-op, there is a huge list of ground beef products. But more telling, the recall states that “All fresh beef products” that were “Packed On dates between 2012SE03 and 2012SE28 or Best Before dates between 2012SE03 and 2012OC03” distributed in every jurisdiction west of Quebec are suspect. A quick stop there on Tuesday showed they still had beef on the shelves, and signs indicating it was safe. But how long will they be able to keep up without a key supplier like XL Foods?

At No Frills, there’s a long list of ground beef steaks and roasts that are being pulled from the shelves in every province except Quebec.

For Sobeys, the recall mostly lists ground beef that went to Ontario, but some store-made meatloaf that went to Atlantic Can-

ada is also on the list. As it stands today, I might be able to buy beef at Sobeys. But after 12 updates and additions to the recall list, can I be sure about what I buy tomorrow?

Those are just some examples. The retail outlets affected include Walmart, Costco, Real Canadian Wholesale Club, Shop Easy, IGA, Extra Foods, Real Canadian Super Store, and even Saskatoon’s Prai-rie Meats.

Where in Saskatch-ewan do I get beef from now that XL Foods is closed?

There used to be a time when local abattoirs and smaller meat packing plants were the norm. But in the interests of higher effi ciency and better prof-

its, we have inexorably made our food supply so concentrated at some points that if something should happen at those very points, the whole food chain goes down.

The difference here is we’re not talking about some sort of documentary on the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet, where they talk about a predator’s food chain on the African savannah. When I say the food chain, I mean OUR food chain, as in people’s food chain.

This is where it gets serious. When my options of buying basic foodstuffs like beef are suddenly wiped out, we have a crisis on our hands.

The trickle down ef-

fects will have an im-pact. People’s fridges and freezers will start running out. What will restaurants serve? Surely they will be impacted, too. What do we eat?

As a strong believer in capitalism, I’m loath to suggest we need some sort of government regulation to limit how much market share a company can have. Growth is generally con-sidered a good thing. But in cases like this, and the previous fatal Maple Leaf Foods listeriosis outbreak, we are dealing with entities that have indeed become too big to fail. What hap-pens if, God forbid, a similar outbreak pops up at Maple Leaf at the same time? Do we just give up meat?

Did anyone ever fi g-ure these mammoth food operations could be as strategically important as oil pipelines? Who needs to blow something up? Just let some naturally occurring contaminant slip by, and you mess up nearly every

household in the nation.Having one-third of

any of the nation’s staple foods pass through one single facility is a recipe for disaster — a disaster that is being borne out now. Even if no one dies, our food security or lack thereof is truly exposed.

After allowing these operations to become so large, you can’t just wave a magic wand and bring back all the smaller, more diverse operations that have shut down over the years. The ones that do re-main will quickly be over-whelmed with demand, and the rest of us who don’t have access to them will have to go without.

Before long, that juicy steak sizzling on the barbe-cue could be a rare thing, indeed. And to ensure you kill off any potential E. coli, you better make sure it’s well done.

You wouldn’t let a me-chanic work on your teeth and chances are you wouldn’t hire a carpenter to perform heart surgery.

So, why would you allow just anyone to work

on your most valuable possession — your face?

Unfortunately that is a decision being made by a number of Canadians on a daily basis as reports about poorly done and completely botched cosmetic laser treat-ments are becoming com-monplace.

A number of clinics have

been opened by unqualifi ed people and unfortunately the results have been all too predictable, with people suffering horrible burns and permanent disfi gurement.

“There are some mis-

conceptions among patients about the true nature of non-surgical cosmetic pro-cedures. Non-surgical does not mean non-medical,” said Mark Jewell, M.D., president of the Aesthetic Society. “Pa-tients deserve to know who is treating them, what their qualifi cations are, who the supervising physician is, and

where the product is coming from. These are questions patients should ask.”

A professional is defi ned as someone who is formally certifi ed by a professional body of belonging to a spe-cifi c profession by virtue of having completed a required course of studies and/or prac-tice. An induvidual whose competence can usually be measured against an estab-lished set of standards.

At Bell Medical Aes-thetics, the staff is able to offer top quality treatments and the peace of mind that all procedures are carried out by qualifi ed personnel in the safest of environments.

Owner Candyce Bell is a certifi ed degree registered nurse with more than 12 years of nursing experience and several advanced certi-fi cations in the medical aes-thetics industry. She is also the clinical nurse educator for Alma Lasers and travels across the country teaching physicians and nurses how to operate the lasers.

At Bell Medical, their physician is governed by the Saskatchewan College of Physicians and our Nurse is governed by the Saskatch-ewan Registered Nurses Association. Their nurse is also governed under the physician’s license as many procedures are classified as a transfer of function of a physician and can be performed by the Medical Aesthetics Certified RN. This means that they operate under our licenses and are held accountable to higher standards of care related to the medical and allied health care professional fi elds.

Candyce Bell notes that, unlike the majority of countries, Canada has no regulations for the medi-cal aesthetics. The lack of regulations has allowed a number of unqualifi ed people to open clinics and use equip-ment which they should not be using. Bell says she has seen the aftermath of work by people that have no busi-

ness operating a laser and the results were not pretty.

“We have seen clients with third-degree burns from laser hair removal, and facial deformities from contouring procedures done by unquali-fi ed individuals,” Bell said. “It is absolutely terrifying.”

Bell said before receiv-ing any type of treatment, the customer should ensure they are working with someone who is qualifi ed to use the equipment and has a medical background.

To gain the necessary information, Bell said people should not be afraid to ask a number of questions and demand answers.

“All lasers are classifi ed as a Class 3 medical device,” she noted. “What medical background or training or insurance or coverage (do they have?) What medical governing body do they adhere to? I have guidelines as a degree RN that I have to follow — ethical guidelines, confi dential guidelines and I have 12 years nursing experi-ence to fall back on.

“I have an excellent reputation with the physi-cians around here. I think every one of them has re-ferred to our clinic and that comes from a reputation that you’ve built working in the medical fi eld.”

The types of equip-ment are also important. At Bell Medical they use the industry leading line of Alma lasers including their new treatment iTED which has drawn worldwide praise for its treatment of scars, stretch marks and melasma.

At a recent inter-national event, f i t t ingly called the

Scar Club, the iTED treat-ment was praised by lead-ers in the plastic surgery industry.

“iTED is the most com-prehensive solution available today for stretch marks and skin rejuvenation,” said Dr. Virginie Pons, a leading French plastic surgeon.

While having good equipment is one thing, Bell also recommends that people should ask what kind of certifi cation the operator has to operate that equipment. Other questions to ask are how long was their training, where did they take it and who certifi ed them.

“With regards to the laser itself, do your research on-line. Find out what people are saying about that laser or company. Ask were you actually trained by that company because every laser is a little bit different, it has its own idiosyncrasies. You have to be trained on that specifi c system as well as understanding lasering and skin conditions.

“There are just so many factors to consider. I’ve had clients come in and want me to laser a mole off their arm. I said ‘no I want you to get that cleared by a physician fi rst. And they’ve come back and it was cancerous. I can’t imagine treating that and having all those micro cancer cells spreading underneath the skin.”

The issue has become a national problem and was recently highlighted on the popular TV show W5.

In their piece, W5 dis-covered

that some operators are using the lasers after receiving little to no training. In fact, a W5 producer was trained to use a cosmetic laser in just under an hour.

The piece also high-lighted a case in Guelph, Ont. where a woman suffered ter-rible burns that had actually turned her skin black. More on the W5 piece can be found at www.ctvnews.ca

Bell said she is frus-trated by stories such as those uncovered by W5 and that Health Canada has yet to step in and regulate the industry and noted that there has been a lot of passing the buck between the provinces and federal government.

She expects that regula-tion to come but said it will be a lengthy process before something is fi nalized. Until some hard rules are set down, she will continue to encour-age the public to educate themselves before having any procedures done and to watch for red fl ags such as clinics that are unclear about or unwilling to speak about their credentials.

“People that tell you there is no risk or don’t have proper consent forms,” are another couple of red fl ags to watch for Bell said. “There is risk with any medical aes-thetics treatment. We have been very blessed with our conservative treatments and our safety practices that we have never had an adverse event happen, but we educate our clients.”

Bell Medical Aesthetics is located at 419 Kensington

ProvincialSASKATOON - A U.S.-

based animal rights group is planning on putting up billboards near Saskatoon’s public schools this Thanks-giving holiday.

The billboards, which will also run in Winnipeg and Ottawa, will read: “Kids, if you wouldn’t eat your dog, why eat a turkey? Go vegan.”

Lauren Stroyeck of People for the Ethical Treat-ment of Animals says the ad’s intent is to get children and their parents thinking about why some animals

are consumed as food but not others.

Stroyeck says the bill-board will feature a friendly looking animal that is a cross between a turkey and a Jack Russell Terrier dog.

She says she hopes it stirs up some controversy at the dinner table.

PETA is still in dis-cussion with a number of companies in Saskatoon to determine exactly where and how many billboards will run.

“The cruelty that ani-mals go through on factory

farms and are slaughtered for food would result in cruelty to animal charges for fac-tory farm executives if they treated dogs and cats in the same way,” Stroyeck said.

NationalTORONTO - Stock

in Research in Motion (TSX:RIM) is surging more than 17 per cent in pre-market trading a day after the BlackBerry maker posted better than expected second-quarter results.

The Waterloo, Ont.,-based technology company, which reports in U.S. dollars,

said after markets closed Thursday that its quarterly loss was US$235 million or 45 cents per diluted share compared with a profi t of $329 million or 63 cents per share a year ago.

RIM’s adjusted loss was $142 million or 27 cents per share.

While large, the loss was still much better than the 47 cents per share loss expected by analysts polled by Bloomberg.

In pre-market trading on the Nasdaq, RIM shares were up $1.23, or 17.23 per

cent, at US$8.37 after hav-ing closed up 14 cents at US$7.14 Thursday before the company’s earnings were released.

***OTTAWA - Would-be

Canadians will be required to submit tangible proof of how well they speak English or French beginning this November.

The new requirements were unveiled last year and will see citizenship appli-cants given three ways to prove their profi ciency.

Applicants will have to submit results of a govern-ment-approved third-party language test, show they’ve finished high school or post-secondary education in English or French or prove they’ve received an appropriate level of language education via government-funded training programs.

Knowledge of French or English has been a require-ment to obtain citizenship since 1977, but Immigration Minister Jason Kenney had sought to fi nd an objective way to prove profi ciency.

It used to be assessed as part of the general citizenship test and related interview.

That will still be part of the criteria but before would-be citizens even get to that step, they’ll have to submit the evidence as part of their overall application.

The changes come into effect as of November 1.

***OTTAWA - The federal

government has decided how it will spend the $275 million it has budgeted to improve First Nations education.

Aboriginal Affairs Min-ister John Duncan says part of the money will go towards building three new schools on reserves this year and renovating fi ve others in the years to come.

The new schools are to be built in the some of the country’s neediest communi-ties, in Pikangikum and Fort Severn in Northern Ontario, as well as Shamattawa in Manitoba.

Part of the money will go towards “bundling” to-gether the construction work in the hope of achieving some economies of scale.

And another part of the

funding will go to proposals that help native bands build the expertise they need to eventually take control of their education systems.

InternationalBRUSSELS - Offi cials

say that a 24-hour strike by Belgian rail workers will disrupt the train traffi c to Brussels from London and Paris as of late Tuesday.

Both Thalys and Euro-star announced they would cancel services to the Belgian capital. Eurostar said its traffi c from London would have a reduced schedule up to Lille, France.

Rail workers are fearful their employment conditions will be undermined under a new plan to revamp and streamline the three com-panies currently overseeing train traffi c in Belgium.

Unions want to go back to a single company control-ling the rail grid and train traffi c, saying the numerous and lengthy delays of the past could be blamed on managerial disorganization. The three companies are controlled by the national authorities. The government wants to turn the three com-panies into two.

***NAIROBI, Kenya - A

Kenyan military offi cial says that allied African troops have taken full control of Somalia’s Kismayo port, the last stronghold of the Islamist extremist rebels who are fi ghting against the country’s internationally backed government.

M a j . E m m a n u e l Chirchir, a spokesman for the Kenyan Defence Forces, said through Twitter Tuesday that the Somalia National Army and Kenyan troops had secured Kismayo’s central police station and the new airport. He says once the air-port is safe military aircraft will start landing there.

Chirchir says bomb ex-perts detonated explosive de-vises planted at the airport by the al-Shabab rebels, who are allied to al-Qaida. Allied Af-rican troops from the African Union are helping Somalia’s fragile government to restore order in the country that has been in chaos since warlords overthrew a longtime dicta-tor in 1991.

“We’re really rollin’, now we’re on our way!”

As the theme song for the Saskatchewan Roughriders goes, the Green and White defi nitely appear to be rolling after back-to-back home wins over CFL West Division opponents the past two games. In Week 13, the Riders nudged the Calgary Stampeders 30-25 while this past Saturday night in Week 14, Saskatch-ewan dumped the league’s best team, the B.C. Lions, by a score of 27-21 in front of another sell-out crowd.

With fi ve games to go and fi rst and second place within striking distance, the up-and-down Riders appear ready to make their move and the fans are right there with them on the edge of their seats.

It was a very special night at Mosaic Stadium this past Saturday. It was the only regular season night game of the year and the lights at the stadium were already on at the 8:10

p.m. kickoff time. It seems ever since the new stadium plans were announced, fans are eager to soak up every last ounce of Rider pride there is to savour at home games, and at this one there was a lot.

Before the game, there was a lot of noise about the “Occupy the Stadium” movement which was sup-posed to feature 30 or so protesters outside Mosaic Stadium before the game. Initially the group was anti-stadium, but then they backed off on their stance. I’m not certain they even knew WHAT they were pro-testing and the only report of protesters I received was two guys sitting at a card table on the practice fi eld with a cheesy sign.

Fail.No, the spirit of the

Rider Nation was not go-ing to be dampened Sat-urday night. Their team led throughout the entire contest and survived a late scare to post the victory and

improve to 7-6. Slotback Weston Dressler was the hero of the night, scoring two touchdowns just a day after returning from attending his grandfather’s funeral in the United States. Dressler is going to go down as one of the all-time great Roughriders.

Something remarkable has gone on with this foot-ball team this year and it’s been fascinating to watch. After a 3-0 start, they then went 0-5 before rebounding to win four of their past fi ve games. But it’s the intensity they’ve put forth in the past two games that has made us sit up and take notice.

They’re not winning games with fi nesse nor are they try-ing to. They are physically dominating their opponents, both of whom were ahead of Saskatchewan in the standings.

“I told them to play every game like it’s their last,” Rider coach Corey Chamblin said when asked what the difference has been lately. It certainly seems to be working.

Rider GM Brendan Ta-man said this week “there’s something special” about this team but right now

it’s tough to put a fi nger on just what it is. So after Saturday’s game, I asked quarterback Darian Durant what is unique about this 2012 Roughrider team.

Without hesitation, Du-rant answered, “Our heart.”

And that could make things very dangerous for the rest of the CFL the rest of the way.

Our PastOct. 4, 1989

A student at the Im-maculate Heart Junior High used a drill to mix batter when the Grade 9 students served pan-cakes to the Grade 7 students. The meal was part of the Welcome Week activities held at the school.

• When making pastry, start with cold ingredients; when making cakes and cookies, the ingredients should be room temperature. If you stick with this rule, you’ll have lovely, flaky pastry and warm, fl uffy cake!

• “Keep rolls or breads warm at the table with this OLD trick: Line your bread basket with foil, shiny side out. Drape a towel over that, and snug the bread inside.” -- G.R. in Wisconsin

• Want to know the secret to great biscuits? Handle the dough gently. The more you mess with it, the tougher the biscuits. If you use a cutter, dip it in water for each press, and DON’T twist: You’ll create a seal on the edges that will hinder the biscuit from rising, making it denser.

• “Got a dome on your cake? Measure your ingredi-ents well. Use a pan that is big enough. And if all else fails, use a thermometer to gauge whether your oven is too hot.

These things more than any others will make a cake pop up in the center.” -- E.A. in Mississippi

• Here’s a fun way to spend a weekend morning: Making pancakes or waffl es! Make a double (or triple, or more) batch, and make sev-eral varieties -- blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, walnuts, strawberry, even pumpkin! Lay them out in layers and let cool. Stack separated with freezer paper in the freezer. They can be microwaved or toasted in minutes for an easy weekday breakfast.

• Self-rising fl our or all-purpose? There’s actually a pretty easy way to tell which is which. Self-rising fl our has baking soda added to it, which tastes salty. If you’re facing a canister of fl our and the recipe calls for all-purpose, give it a taste. If it’s self-rising, omit any baking soda added to your recipe.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2012 Page 19

NationalCALGARY - Jon Mont-

gomery is about to test the results of a season away from skeleton racing.

The reigning Olympic men’s champion started training on a new sled this week at Calgary’s Canada Olympic Park.

Montgomery took the 2011-2012 World Cup sea-son off to overhaul his equipment because of a lack of podium fi nishes following his victory at the Whistler Sliding Centre in 2010.

With an eye on defend-ing his Olympic title in 2014, he wanted a sled setup that performs on tracks around the world and not just Whistler.

What Montgomery will take to the track next week is the sum of months of col-laboration with engineers, sport scientists and materials manufacturers.

***NEW YORK, N.Y. -

For the fi rst time, the NHL has quantifi ed its mounting losses during the lockout.

After Tuesday’s talks broke off with the NHL Players’ Association, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told

reporters that missing the pre-season cost the league almost US$100 million in revenue.

There are no plans for negotiations to resume, and the NHL is expected to start cancelling games in the regular-season, which was scheduled to open on Oct. 11.

Tuesday’s bargaining session focused on the defi -nition of hockey-related revenue and ended with Daly saying “no progress” was made.

Now in its third week, the lockout has wiped out the entire pre-season and has forced many players to head overseas to play on month-to-month contracts.

Others who are eligible to play at the lower levels opened training camp last week with American Hockey League affi liates.

***TOKYO - Milos Raonic

won his opening match at the Japan Open by defeat-ing Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4 on Tuesday.

The sixth-seed from Thornhill, Ont., wrapped up his 83-minute victory with a 10th ace to advance

after playing last week in Bangkok and reaching the quarter-fi nals. He next plays Serb Viktor Troicki.

Raonic is playing at the ATP venue where he made his move onto the world stage in 2010. He has faced Rafael Nadal at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo in both of his previous appearances.

The Canadian now owns three match wins in Tokyo after his pair of second-round defeats against Nadal in 2010 and 2011.

“It was a good start for me, it was a chance to cor-rect a few things that I didn’t like about the way I fi nished in Bangkok (quarter-final loss last week to Jarkko Ni-eminen),” said Raonic. “This is a good sign for me.

“In the next round I hope to keep doing what I’ve been doing today. I need to play my game and stay aggressive. I want to play on my terms out there as much as possible.”

Raonic was never threat-ened by Stepanek, breaking the 2010 Tokyo semifi nalist to start the match, and need-ing three set points to close out the opener in 43 minutes.

International

How important is it to get the NFL’s regular referees back on the job? The White House calls it a great day for America.

Without prompting, U.S. President Barack Obama’s spokesman on Thursday applauded news of a deal between that the National Football League and the referees’ union.

Jay Carney said, quote, “The president’s very pleased that the two sides have come together,” and he added, “It’s a great day for America.”

The underwhelming performance of replacement offi cials has drawn the ire of fans, players and politicians.

A blown call at the end of the Monday night game cost the Green Bay Packers a win. Carney said the focus can now return to the games, not the offi ciating.

***PRAGUE - The Davis

Cup fi nal between the Czech Republic and defending champion Spain will be at the O2 Arena in Prague next month.

The International Ten-nis Federation made the announcement on Tuesday.

The Czechs used the same arena to beat Serbia 4-1 in the quarterfi nals, but that was on clay. The Czechs are expected to use a different, faster surface to counter the Spaniards, who haven’t lost on clay for 12 years.

The 100th fi nal is from Nov. 16-18.

The 02 Arena seats 13,000, and will also host the Fed Cup fi nal between the Czech Republic and Serbia on Nov. 3-4. It’s the fi rst stadium to host both fi nals in the same year.

Spain will be chasing its fourth Davis Cup title in fi ve years, including a 5-0 sweep of the Czechs at home in 2009.

The Czechs won their only Davis Cup title as Czechoslovakia in 1980.

***Jim Nash is such a big

Yankees fan that he named his son George Mattingly Nash, combining two of his favourite players: George

Herman Ruth and Don Mat-tingly.

So when he noticed Mattingly was participating in a startup venture called Egraphs, which offered an autographed digital picture with a handwritten note and a personalized audio mes-sage, he didn’t think twice about paying $50. Nash never would have walked up to the Los Angeles Dodgers manager and asked for his signature.

“It’s much easier, espe-cially for a grown man,” the West Virginia native said. “It’s much more personal.”

Egraphs launched at the All-Star break, a technologi-cal breakthrough that extends the autograph business from the age-old methods of writ-ing to stars, leaning across ballpark railings and hanging around hotel lobbies.

Now, power up the com-puter and get a prize from the likes of R.A. Dickey, Cliff Lee, Andrew McCutchen and Clayton Kershaw. Or even retired stars that include Pedro Martinez.

Two things are evident in this sorry mess that is the National Hockey League’s lockout of its players. Firstly, as far as fi nances go, you don’t have to feel sorry for either side; and secondly, the vast majority of fans are sick and tired of hearing about negotiations, preferring the “call me when it’s over” approach.

This whole squabble is about splitting revenues. Before the Players’ Associa-tion contract with the owners expired Sept. 15, players had been receiving 57 per cent of revenues. The owners thought that was too much, considering that revenues in the last couple of years have ballooned to $3.3 billion.

So the owners offered the players 43 per cent, know-ing full well it would spark a revolt, which it did. But it

was merely a starting point in negotiations.

Eventually, the two sides will settle. Everybody knows that. Neither the owners, nor the players, want to see rev-enues go down to near zero, which is what will happen if no hockey is played. No tickets will be sold, no park-ing stalls will be fi lled, no hot dogs will be eaten or beer consumed, no television con-tracts will be honoured. Some revenue will still fl ow in from sales of NHL merchandise because, after all, Christmas is Christmas.

But don’t feel sorry for the players if they fi nally settle for 47 per cent, or 48 per cent, and the owners gleefully walk away with 50-per-cent-plus of the rev-enues. While the players de-serve to be handsomely paid, considering they are among

the best 600 of their craft in the entire world, they make enormous amounts of money, astronomically in excess of an average Joe or Jane.

The average NHL player last year made $2.4 million. The average well-paid Ca-nadian working in an offi ce or a factory might pull in $40,000 or $50,000. Some managers might make in the $80,000 to $100,000 range. So the Canadian who has made $40,000 for most of his adult life would have to work for 60 years at that rate to

accumulate $2.4 million, the average one-year NHL salary.

The stars, who make $5 and $6 million per year - or more, might be asked to play 19 to 22 minutes per game. But an ordinary Canadian would have to work for 100 years at $50,000 a year to make $5 million.

So don’t feel sorry for the players if they end up the “losers” in this NHL fi ght. Millions of Canadians would love to “lose” like that.

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “Elisha Cuthbert, newly engaged to Dion Pha-neuf, said the hard part about dating the Leafs’ blueliner is worrying he’ll get hurt when he plays. Oh well, at least she can relax during the playoffs.”

• A fi nal couple of “re-placement” ref quips before we forget about those three weeks the NFL would rather forget:

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post, on Twitter: “Got a replacement mechanic at Jiffy Lube last week. After changing the oil, they went under the hood, and, incred-ibly, changed it back.”

• Somebody named Un-cle Dynamite (@UncleDyna-mite) on Twitter: “Belichick Shoots Replacement Ref In Parking Lot After Game, Tells Police His Actions Are ‘Not Reviewable.’”

• Justin Snyder (@Jus-tinSnyder) on Twitter after the bizarre fi nish to the Monday night game between Green Bay and Seattle: “Seahawks QB Russell Wilson becomes fi rst NFL QB to throw game winning interception.”

• Late night TV funny-man Conan O’Brien: “Green Bay Packers fans are furious after a controversial call robbed the Packers of a vic-tory. Some are calling it the worst call in NFL history, or at least since the Black Eyed Peas were invited to play the Super Bowl.”

• Among the signs you’re a bad referee, from CBS’s David Letterman: “Missed last three calls be-cause beer vendor was slow giving you change.”

• New York Giants line-backer Mathias Kiawanuka, to Newsday, on life with NFL replacement refs: “I haven’t been held this much since I was a baby.”

• And even though we have no hockey these days, we still have the Leafs to joke about. R.J. Currie reports that “June Blythe, 65, has re-gained her sense of smell after losing it in 1975. Blythe says she remembered the scent of fl owers and that the Toronto Maple Leafs stink.”

• Greg Cote, Miami Her-ald: “Stanley C. Panther was laid off because of the NHL lockout. Is there any sight sadder than a fully costumed mascot at an intersection washing windshields?”

• A classic from The Greatest, Muhammad Ali: “If you even dream of beat-ing me, you’d better wake up and apologize.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World Herald, on Nebraska’s 73-7 football win: “Idaho State coaches chose to focus on the things that went right on Saturday. Well, they won the opening coin fl ip.”

• NBC’s Jimmy Fallon: “A new study found that run-ning for two minutes is just as good for you as working out for 90 minutes. That doesn’t sound like a study - it sounds like something a chubby guy says after being on the treadmill for two minutes.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Jets coach Rex Ryan thought his play-ers would benefi t from some extra rest, so he decided to bring in a sleep specialist. Hey, it was either that or make them watch six hours of Kansas City Chiefs fi lm.”
