THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012

Jeers to people who park their vehicles half on their driveway and half on the sidewalk, so it’s hard to walk, bike or push a stroller past you.

Jeers to people who steal change from parked vehicles.

Jeers to whoever stole the plywood and two-by-fours from our farm. Thou shall not steal.

Jeers to the local law enforcement that would rather worry about window tint on vehicles than the real crimes like drugs and break and enters in this city.

Cheers to Constables David Sinclair and Don Dechief for catching the guy who vandalized our vehicles on Fourth Street. Their immediate response and quick actions are greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!

Cheers to Estevan playparks and leaders. It is great to have a place to take our kids.

Cheers to Boundary Dam beach. It’s so wonderful to have a clean beach just 10 minutes from town.

Cheers to kids going back to school this week and getting into a routine again.

Cheers to the young man who apologized for his actions. He is a fi ne person. Could others do the same?

Cheers to great neighbours. Three young men from out of province moved next door, and they’re courteous, friendly, considerate and helpful. Just great to have as neighbours.

(Editor’s note: During the 2012-13 school year, students at the Estevan Com-prehensive School will be submitting a regular feature in the Mercury or Trader Ex-press to keep the community up to date on all the school news.)

Estevan Comprehensive School is open for the 2012-13 school year. Teachers were back at work on Aug. 27. They spent the fi rst day meet-ing and planning, and then had three days of sessions for professional development and convention. There have been several staff changes which will be detailed in the next article.

Friday, Aug. 31 was new student orientation. The students and parents who attended registered for class and met with the administra-tion for an assembly. A mock day was performed, where students had fi ve minutes to move from class to class, fi nding their way and meeting their teachers and classmates. A barbecue lunch ended the day.

Tuesday, Sept. 4 was registration for the Grades 10-12 classes. Students picked up their timetables, signed up for class changes, and toured the school to re-orient themselves. The fi rst day of regular classes was, Wednes-day, Sept. 5. Students should be reminded that they have the fi rst fi ve days of class available to make changes to their schedules. Student Services is a very busy place in the fi rst few weeks.

The student represen-tative council is already hard at work planning for a successful school year of ac-tivities. The co-presidents are Shaylee Foord and Karissa Gustafson. There are 22 other members of the SRC who include: Tairyn Thompson, Kaylee Mackenzie, Mat-thew Grunert, Brayden Ger-vais, Caitlyn Friess, Quentin Vanderschaaf, Molly Fogarty, Veronique Poirier, Brooke Pachal, Mackenzie Knoble, Michelle Ferguson, Kale Lit-tle, Tate Wrubleski, AnnaRae Gustafson, Josh Pele, Curtis McGillvary, Alex Neuman, Cole MacCuish, Michala Brasseur, Emily Hegland, Thomas Gallipeau, and Tan-ner Tytlandsvik. There will be room for some of the Grade 9s a little later in the year.

The SRC’s fi rst task is to welcome everyone. The morning of Sept. 5, the SRC handed out candy and free spirit ballots to all students. Spirit ballots are given to students who participate in the Spirit Days. The ballots are entered for prizes at the end of the school year. Some of last year’s prizes included electronics and appliances, and as soon as the SRC de-cides what to offer this year, they will be on display in the foyer.

Thursday morning, Sept. 6, the ECS staff members greeted the students, and there was an opportunity for all students to win prizes dur-ing lunch hours by spinning the ECS wheel, which was located in the courtyard.

Friday, Sept. 7 was school colour day, so every-one was asked to dress in red, blue and white. The SRC also had a surprise planned for the student body. Every student and staff member who dressed in school colours received a spirit ballot.

Our ECS store, Below the Bolt is open for students to purchase their PE uniforms and other items of school clothing. Many sports teams have already begun practising and holding tryouts. Senior volleyball and football is un-derway. Junior and freshmen teams will be recruiting soon, and new students are encour-aged to attend the tryouts.

Watch for the SRC fl oat in Friday’s parade that will kick off the rodeo this week-end. The Elecs football team has their season opener this Saturday, Sept. 8 against Weyburn. There will be a tailgate party beginning at 4 p.m. on the ECS fi eld. There will be a free barbecue, and we encourage you to bring your family and friends to cheer on our squad. Be there to cheer on our Elecs at game time, 5 p.m.

Welcome Back ECS!

The cooks will be cooking, but what will you be eating?

A fundraiser for United Way Estevan is sending cooks back into the kitchen for a night of food of fun. Dubbed Cooks That Cook, the Sept. 21 event at the Wylie Mitchell Building will once again bring a wide selection of good foods to the table in the name of charity. The event is organized by Enbridge

The cooks come out of the kitchen

Pipelines and features both a silent and live auction.

Sheila Guenther is the past-president for the local United Way chapter and brought her own kitchen skills to the table last year, when the fundraiser was fi rst held for the United Way.

“It’s such a great event, and it’s really good to see all of their energy and enthusi-asm, so obviously we’d like to be a part of that too,” she

said. “It’s been an amazing fundraiser and an amazing event. It’s just enjoyable to everybody that goes, as well as the people who are providing the food. It’s lots of fun, and it’s a huge benefi t to the United Way.”

The funds raised will go towards the United Way’s telethon totals in October, adding to the pot for the organization’s many member agencies.

“Last year was the

fi rst year that any of us (from the United Way) were involved, and I just provided some of the food,” said Guenther. “It was my fi rst year, but I’m going to do it again.”

There will be main dishes, side dishes and desserts, so there will be plenty of food to satisfy any appetite. Each cook provides about 70 portions of their dish so they have to be organized.

There is also the con-cern for food safety, but Guenther noted it is han-dled very well so all of the cooks are sure what is suitable to serve.

“Enbridge actually had a food safety course this year for all the cooks, so that was a great thing for them to do,” added Guenther.

The cooks will prepare all of their food prior to the event and bring their 70 portions to the venue for the attendees to sample.

“I love cooking, so I’m happy to be a part of it. I’ll continue doing it every year just because it’s a lot of fun.”

About $15,000 was raised during last year’s event, and Guenther is hopeful it will have an-other successful run this time around. Tickets can be bought individually, or parties can buy a table of eight.

The CWB made an interesting announce-ment recently when it unveiled it would be-gin marketing canola for Western Canadian farmers.

The decision is one that may ultimately reveal much about what farmers truly feel about the CWB, and also how effective the organization is at marketing.

Of course the history of the board has been as a single desk seller, meaning it has been the lone export marketer of wheat, durum and barley. As a single desk operation, the CWB has never had to compete for product from farmers. It handled all that came from Western producers.

That has changed with the decision by the federal government to end the monopoly. The debate will last long in whether the Stephen Harper government played fast and loose with the rules of Parliament in making the change, but the role of the CWB was forever changed.

Now the CWB is attempting to adapt to their new reality.

One of the steps they are taking is to market canola, a crop with a well-established network of marketers already in place.

But as the crop that is now competing with wheat in terms of the most acres devoted to it, canola is a major commodity that could help boost the bottom line of the CWB.

But there is an “if” for the CWB.It will only help the CWB if producers

are willing to market their canola through the organization.

It’s clear the government expects farmers to abandon the CWB in droves. Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has led a chorus where the undertones were pretty clear, the CWB was fl awed and not working for farmers.

They made the change on the premise of providing choice, but if they believed the CWB was doing the best job possible for farm-ers, why change the system?

In terms of canola, there was discussion within the last quarter century about the crop perhaps coming under the CWB umbrella, but that never happened.

So now it will be up to the CWB to attract canola bushels from farmers, and if farmers happen to commit signifi cant production to the organization, it will speak to how well respected the CWB actually is with farmers.

Don’t expect a huge pile of canola to go to the CWB, at least not immediately.

Longer term, the CWB might earn bushels because they do have a worldwide network of marketers who, while previously dedicated to cereal grains, have contacts useful in market-ing canola.

If the CWB machine can fi nd new and/or better markets for canola, farmers will turn their way.

It stands to reason that in a new open market environment, the CWB will need to look for new revenue streams.

Canola, because of its sheer size, is a logical fi rst step.

But think about the connections the CWB has in India, Pakistan, the Middle East. To take on marketing pulse crops might be a natural.

And if you are selling canola, is fl ax such a stretch?

There is also potential to use the knowl-edge the CWB has in marketing cereals to include oats and rye. Both are specialty crops with limited acres, so sales are not by container ship, but the mechanics of the sale may not be so different that the CWB won’t take it on in their new world if they can make pools work on smaller crops.

“Farmers have been telling us they want the CWB to run canola pools to help manage their price risk and provide them with reliable returns through a system they can trust,” said CWB president and CEO Ian White in a recent release, adding farmer sign-up is now open for the new CWB canola pool.

“The farmer benefi ts of pooling apply just as successfully to canola as to wheat. Farmers retain all the profi ts generated from their grain sales, instead of simply taking a fl at price at the elevator. It also means they can spend more time on their crops instead of chasing the commodity futures markets.”

The CWB is the only company offering farmers the popular pooled approach to grain marketing for the 2012-13 crop year which began Aug. 1 under a new open-market model. Under pooling, all revenue is deposited into a single pool and participants are paid the average achieved across the entire marketing period, allowing highly effective price-risk management and a strategic approach to the sales process.

Yes, the future is an unknown for both farmers and the CWB, but how both sides react to the chance to market canola through a pooling system may give us a hint at what the future will be.

With the Quebec election all wrapped up, and the Parti Quebecois holding minor-ity power in the province, sovereignty is in the air.

Even if a separatist party talks tough, there doesn’t appear to be much stomach for a referendum on Quebec’s divorce from Canada at this time. There were a lot of questions leading up to the election however, about whether the rest of Canada would care even a little bit about Quebecers wanting out.

Canada is certainly more complete with the primarily francophone province inside its borders, but at some point we have to wonder if it actually is benefi cial to keep a province of people here against their will. This country has its share of problems after all, and there are numerous divisions on all kinds of issues across the land.

What’s good for Saskatchewan isn’t always good policy for B.C., and what they want in Ontario isn’t always what is needed in Newfoundland and Labrador. There is plenty of room for disagreement and maybe it would be easier if things were a little more divided.

From what I’ve read, the PQ party is not

going to pursue sovereignty, instead looking to siphon off most of the powers the federal government handles to the provincial level.

In many ways, that’s something all the provinces want to be doing. It is important for legislation to come from Ottawa to en-sure all Canadians get the same rights, but after that, it’s the provinces that know what their people need.

I hear it a lot that this or that prime minister wasn’t good for the Prairies. For the most part, it sounds like he wasn’t good for this area because of something that could probably be handled at the provincial level.

Devolution of power from the feds to the province would limit how good or bad one prime minister could be for any one province.

Geographically speaking, Canada is in-credibly large. There is just a small handful

of other countries that can compete with our size. With that kind of diversity, perhaps we do need to rethink how control is delegated across the country.

Canada isn’t a hopelessly dysfunctional family. It just has some family suppers that break down into an argument as the food gets cold.

Limiting federal powers is more of an American model that I’ve never had much care for. There are a number of things that belong at the federal level outside of just defence. Quebec wanting to handle its own immigration may be a stretch of this devolution of power. Immigration law is federal jurisdiction and that’s probably how it should stay.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t powers that can be stripped from Ottawa and given to the provinces. Apparently Quebec may look at foreign-aid spending and copyright laws to be handled by the province as long as Ottawa gives the OK. Those may work as provincial issues.

In the end it would just mean less money going to Ottawa and more decisions made at a more local level. That’s something most people are probably in favour of.

Some sense in splitting Canada

CWB has a chance to prove itself

Though this column is published Friday, I’m writing it Tuesday, the day before school starts. The day before the last fi rst day of school. Ever. I’m in my undergraduate year, and who knows if I’ll continue on with some more educa-tion someday.

Before most school years, I’d write about how I was nervous to head back. I was also hopeful over the summer that girls would somehow learn to wear the appropriate length of shorts (ends below your butt).

But this year I’m not nervous, (though I’m still hopeful about the shorts thing.) This year I’m pretty calm. I’m coming back to school following eight

months of working two different internships and gaining valuable experience in journalism. I’m not the scared girl who entered the journalism school last year. This year, I’m pretty excited to get in there, work hard and get on with my life. Sounding awfully grown up, hey?

I do have one final refl ection entering my last year. I’m sure it’s something that’s been harped on many, many times, but I’ve been really thinking hard about it lately.

Dear students: you can go to university and have a great time. You can party. You can miss class. You can stay out way too late. You can leave studying and pa-

pers until the last second and still pass with decent grades. All of this is possible.

Confused students may wonder how can this be? Parents and teachers have been preaching the dangers of such activities for your entire lives, so how can it be that all these things are possible, maybe even common?

The key, and something

I’ve been pondering for awhile now, is fi nding bal-ance. For every night you stay out until the sun rises, you’re going to need to have time to make up that sleep. A person is going to have a hard time staying out every night of the week and still getting to classes and fi nish-ing assignments.

As for missing classes, again, you’ll be OK. Miss-

ing one or two classes isn’t going to kill you or drag your mark into the dirt. But an important thing to consider is whether or not you understand the class. If you get what’s going on and you won’t struggle to make up the homework or the missed course work, then skip if you need to. If you’re skipping because you don’t understand the material, things aren’t going to improve and you might fail the class and be out a ton of money. Of course, I’m not saying everyone needs to go out and skip classes. I’m just saying it’s not the end of the world.

Find the balance. In post-secondary, you’re go-ing to learn so much about

yourself and what you’re capable of. If you find that after a full weekend of drinking, you’re unable to focus on your toughest class Monday morning, then it’s time to assess what’s important to you. Cut back your nights out, or switch to different nights. Univer-sity is fantastic and with a balance, it’s pretty easy to have a blast and get out in four years.

School’s once again in session -- and so is your daily lunch-making routine. Here are some tips for making lunches that will keep your child healthy and happy all year long!

School Lunch Safety Tips:

--Keep food preparation areas in the kitchen clean. Wash countertops, cutting boards, utensils and your hands in hot, soapy water. And don’t let the family pet jump up on kitchen counters.

--After preparing lunch-es, remember to immediately

return unused portions of per-ishable foods -- like cheeses, deli meats and mayonnaise -- to the refrigerator. Don’t let them sit out on the counter.

--Make sure that cold foods are cold before pack-ing them in a lunch box. If possible, prepare the lunch the night before and store it in the refrigerator. (This also takes the edge off the mad morning rush!)

--Insulated lunch bags or boxes are the best way to keep food at a safe temperature until noon. Nestle a frozen juice pouch or ice pack inside, and sandwiches will stay extra cool.

--At school, instruct the kids to store their lunch box out of direct sunlight and away from radiators or other

heaters, if possible. --Sandwiches made with

refrigerated items such as lun-cheon meats, cheese and tuna salad should be carried in an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack. That way they should be safe to eat even after going hours without refrigeration.

--Keep hot foods -- like soups, stews or chilies -- hot. In the morning, bring the food to a boil and then immediately pour into a hot, sterile vacuum bottle. (Sterilize the vacuum bottle with boiling water.)

Lunch foods that can be eaten at room temperature include:

Peanut butter Jams and jellies Breads, crackers, cereals Clean fruits and veg-

etables

Dried meats, such as beef jerky

Baked products, such as cookies and cakes

Canned meat or poultry products that are eaten im-mediately after opening

This recipe for Cin-namon Honey Apple Dip is a sweet and healthy fi nish for school lunches and after-school snacks. Adults will love it, too!

CINNAMON HONEY APPLE DIP

4 to 6 small apples, cored and cut into 4 wedges

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 cup (8 ounces) low-fat

cream cheese4 teaspoons honey1/2 teaspoon vanilla

on juice to prevent them from turning brown. Beat cream cheese in a small bowl with an electric mixer or in a food processor on medium speed until creamy. Add the honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Beat until well-blended.

2. Place 2 to 3 table-spoons per person in a re-sealable container along with 4 of the apple wedges for dip-ping. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

‘EM WE MEND ‘EM‘EM WE MEND ‘EM


The Canadian Medical Association Journal recently released a scathing editorial, calling for some reform to the Criminal Code. They were demanding the removal of a section called the correction of child by force, which does sound like a pretty robotic way of describing discipline.

The section justifi es parents, anyone standing in place of a parent and schoolteachers, to use force by way of correction toward a pupil or child. I’m not a parent or a schoolteacher, and there has

never been a time where I was standing in as a parent. There is a particular point however, that needs to be looked at. Should children be protected by law from any bodily harm?

With this section there is a double standard based on some form of age. There doesn’t appear to be much guidance on what a child is. Whether a person is a child until 10, or 14, or 18 isn’t spelled out in the section. At what age people can no longer be corrected through force is a little unclear.

Not all superiors have the right to correct their inferiors by force. My boss certainly isn’t permitted to strike me if I need to be corrected, so there is a clear double standard in our legal system as to whom is protected from what.

There is certainly a difference to note between discipline, teaching the value of dealing with repercussions, and physical abuse. Children are still protected from abuse.

Growing up, my siblings and I were corrected by force, some more than others. Recently however, my sister and I were talking with my mom about spanking. She asked if we thought we had a bad childhood, to which we told her growing up was just fi ne, despite the odd open-palmed crack.

She said she didn’t like doing it, but it was often done out of frustration. I guess that’s reasonable considering she had fi ve kids 10 and under at one time.

Even so, this particular law allowing protection of persons in authority is something that should probably be abandoned. It’s time to start giving children the same rights and freedoms we all expect. — Jordan Baker

I’m about as non-violent as a person can be. I can’t say I’ve ever been in a physical confrontation in my life. I don’t like when people hit each other, and you’d never catch me watching fi ghting on TV or in person.

But I don’t have a problem with the idea of spanking children.

As a kid, I was spanked when I misbehaved and caused trouble. Not to say I was beaten or attacked with a belt or anything, my parents

aren’t terrifying monsters. But I was slapped a little bit when I was really out of line. I also once had to eat soap, but that’s a whole different story.

I have to say, I’m pretty normal. And so are my sisters, who were treated pretty similarly growing up. Plus, there’s my parents’ generation which, as a generation, was spanked a fair bit more.

I recognize that I’m not a parent and I’m not an expert on child development. I also know there are plenty of studies out there that suggest spanking is harmful to the development of a child. And while I agree there’s probably truth to these studies, I’m skeptical when I see the kinds of kids being produced by this parenting model. I’m generalizing, but I’ve seen a lot of bratty, annoying kids get away with a lot of misbehaving because they know their parents aren’t going to hit them, or possibly even punish them.

Of course, there are a lot of kids who are spanked that are also bratty and annoy-ing, despite the threat of physical punishment.

Here’s my thinking: maybe all kids are different, and they all react differently to being punished/not being punished? How can anyone say what’s the best way to discipline children? Shouldn’t a parent make that choice, assuming they’re educated on the risks of spanking vs. not spanking, since they know their children the best? Criminalizing spanking would be wrong.— Tonaya Marr

Should spanking be banned?

near a corner of the base-ment. However, I can’t fi nd the source of the leak. What can I do? -- Tara in St. Louis

A: It sounds like there is a leak somewhere in the foundation. You’re right to be looking at that one corner as the most likely source of the water leak, but determining where the water is entering may be diffi cult.

Dry basements are made so through a number of techniques, including

directing rainwater away from your home’s founda-tion. This is accomplished through surface drainage (such as your home’s gutter system) as well as subsur-face drainage, which stops water which has percolated through the surface from entering the basement.

Subsurface drainage is typically put in place at the time of a home’s construction. This includes sloping the ground beneath the planned basement fl oor to direct water away from

the house, adding a gravel layer and a nonpermeable layer above that, and then pouring the basement’s concrete fl oor. Basement walls should be sealed on the outside at the time of construction.

Over time, concrete basement walls can develop tiny cracks that let more moisture through. This may be happening in your base-ment. There may be a larger crack near your home’s foundation that is letting more water in, or perhaps

something has changed in the way runoff moves away from your home’s founda-tion. Patch larger cracks in the driveway or in masonry or concrete surrounding your home.

Check the exterior of your house. Is the gutter system in good repair? Where do the drainspouts end? They should extend out from the foundation. If rainwater is pouring directly onto the foundation, it could be seeping more rapidly into the basement.

If none of these seem to be a problem or don’t clear up the leakage issue, contact a professional contractor who specializes in basement moisture problems to snoop out deeper issues.

‘Dry basement’ springs a leak

Brian ZinchukFrom the Top

of the Pile

As I write this, life just became easier for me.

We are furiously pack-ing the kids for their fi rst day of school. Thanks to the Wall government, it is now when it is supposed to be - after Labour Day, not three days before the end of August, when nothing is accomplished except the ruination of the last week of summer.

It’s a big day in our household, because our youngest, Spencer is go-ing to kindergarten. The next milestone of this magnitude includes a cap and gown and a bus ticket to university.

Looking at parents with infants and toddlers, I constantly wonder, “How did we survive that? How did we have the stamina? Thank God I never have to change another diaper on my kids.”

With this transition means the beginning of the end of daycare. We still have him in a government-recognized daycare, but

with full-day kindergarten, it means he is at school ev-ery second day, and daycare every second day. We still pay the full freight to keep the spot, but at least I’m not running across town in the middle of the day to transport him from pre-kin-dergarten to daycare. That was a big hassle, because it made it very diffi cult to get much accomplished during the fi rst half of the day.

While pre-K was a blessing, the half-day por-tion of it was not much fun.

Within a year, we will be able to say goodbye to daycare, period. No more babysitters. We had so many over the years, I was pulling my hair out. One who supposedly didn’t smoke in the house must have been a chain smoker, because our kids came home smelling like a bar. Another lived in subsidized housing, and was told she couldn’t babysit kids be-cause that wasn’t allowed. Apparently earning an in-come is a bad thing if you

need subsidized housing.The establishment of

a new daycare in Estevan late last year, part of a swath of new spaces recently funded by the provincial government, was a big deal for me. If I couldn’t have found adequate daycare, I might have had to pull out of the workforce. You don’t often hear about guys doing that, but when your wife is a nurse, what choice do you have? If you can’t fi nd daycare or a sitter, both of which are in extremely short supply, someone has to look after the kids.

Soon we will see the end of our universal child-care benefi t as well, the $100 per month per kid social program the Harper

government brought in. Our kids were the first cohort to benefi t from this program. It wasn’t a lot, but it sure helped. It made a dif-ference in our household, allowing both of us to stay in the workforce.

The world Spencer is entering seems like the one

I entered 32 or so years ago - a friendly teacher, a sandbox, lots of laughing kids. But I wonder how far off in the future it will be when the school supply list includes an iPad and not erasers?

When I was in primary school, kids failed. They were held back if they couldn’t grasp the con-cepts. Today, that hardly ever happens. Then we wonder why we have illiter-ate kids in Grade 8.

The new form of math teaching was a total bust for our daughter, who is eight. Pulling out an abacus is

what made the difference. I fear we will have to be ever vigilant of new-fangled teaching trends that fail to recognize that reading, writing and arithmetic are truly paramount.

Change is constant, and hopefully most of the changes we see are posi-tive. But instead of looking at today with trepidation, I am greatly relieved. We got this far; we can go the distance.

Chair of U of C to return expenses for hotel staysNational

CALGARY - The Ca-nadian Taxpayers Federa-tion has red-fl agged a num-ber of expenses, including executive-class fl ights and $500 a night hotel rooms, rung up by the chair of the University of Calgary.

Doug Black, who is also a new senator-in-wait-ing, has repaid the university nearly $5,400 for expenses that the institution says were processed in error.

Scott Hennig, Alberta director of the taxpayers’ group, has released docu-ments obtained through a Freedom of Information request detailing $28,000 worth of expenses billed to the University of Calgary.

Hennig says Black made the repayment shortly after the university received the Freedom of Information request.

He says he’s not sure how Black can justify billing the university for stays in fancy hotels while travelling on university business.

The University of Cal-gary says it detected the overpayment in a June audit and Black immediately repaid the money once in-formed of the mistake.

***HALIFAX - A com-

plaints system run by the Canada Border Services Agency is documenting cases of travellers enduring

rude behaviour and lengthy interrogations, as well as one case where someone was falsely identifi ed as a person “with criminal ties.”

According to quarterly reports obtained by The Canadian Press through the Access to Information Act, there were 1,105 complaints — about six per day — about the services provided by the agency’s employees from Jan. 7 until the end of June last year.

A report by the agency on the revamped complaints system obtained under freedom of information leg-islation says .0025 per cent of all travellers complain about the service from its employees, adding “this rate will be used in future media calls as it puts the Canada Border Services Agency in a positive light.”

However, a civil lib-erties advocate says he is concerned about the inci-dents that have emerged and believes it demonstrates an independent oversight agency is needed — similar to arms-length commissions that oversee the RCMP and other police agencies.

***OTTAWA - One of

Canada’s largest unions is crying foul over the RCMP’s decision to order a union-chartered plane fl ying over Ottawa to land, accusing the Mounties of doing so

for political reasons.The Public Service

Alliance of Canada says the plane was carrying a French-language banner on Saturday that translates into “Stephen Harper hates us.”

An RCMP spokeswom-an said in an email that the plane appeared to be fl ying within restricted airspace over Parliament Hill so the Mounties requested it land.

“The RCMP is man-dated with the security on the grounds of Parliament Hill and the RCMP takes all threats seriously,” said Cpl. Lucy Shorey.

The RCMP questioned the pilot and determined there was no security threat and considers the matter closed, Shorey said.

***MONTREAL - A cel-

ebration of the Parti Que-becois’ return to power was shattered Tuesday — fi rst by a political disappointment, then by a stunning tragedy.

The party won a mi-nority government with a weaker-than-desired result, of 54 seats won out of 125, that could severely limit its ability to pursue its indepen-dence agenda.

A victory speech by premier-in-waiting Pauline Marois was then marred by an exceptionally ugly scene: she was whisked off the stage by guards during an attack in which two people

were shot, one was killed, and a fi re was set behind the hall where she spoke.

Po l i ce t ack led a masked, housecoat-wearing suspect to the ground and took him away in a patrol car. The two people shot were originally listed in critical condition, and one was later pronounced dead. Televised images showed a long gun being confi scated.

The middle-aged sus-pect, while being dragged toward the police cruiser, shouted in French, “The English are waking up!”

InternationalWASHINGTON - A

former Navy SEAL’s insider account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden contains classifi ed information, the Pentagon said Tuesday, and the admiral who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command said details in the book may provide enemies with dangerous insight into their secretive operations.

Rear Adm. Sean Pybus told his force Tuesday that “hawking details about a mission” and selling other details of SEAL training and operations puts the force and their families at risk.

“For an elite force that should be humble and disciplined for life, we are certainly not appearing to be so,” Pybus wrote in a letter to the roughly 8,000 troops

under his command. “We owe our chain of command much better than this.”

The letter was obtained by The Associated Press.

***MATTAWAN, Mich. -

A west Michigan man says he was mowing his lawn when he found an alligator trapped in the window well of his basement.

But Terry Doolittle of Mattawan says authori-ties were skeptical when he reported the discovery because his last name is the same as a fi ctional children’s book character who spoke to animals.

He tells MLive.com (http://bit.ly/NNGeiy ) that authorities wary of a “Dr. Doolittle” prank at first didn’t believe him.

Doolittle says he was mowing alongside of his house when he “saw a tail move.”

An animal rescue em-ployee who owns six other alligators eventually helped dislodge the creature, and took it home until someone claims it.

Authorities believe the alligator was a family pet.

***CAIRO - Egyptian

President Mohammed Mor-si gave his fi rst major foreign policy speech on Wednes-day, calling on Syrian Presi-dent Bashar Assad’s regime to step down and warning

Iran against interfering in Arab affairs.

He also voiced support for Palestinian efforts to gain full membership status at the United Nations.

Addressing an Arab foreign ministers’ meeting in Cairo, the Islamist leader outlined the foreign policy objectives of his administra-tion, more than two months after he took offi ce as the nation’s fi rst freely elected and civilian president.

His comments sig-nalled an attempt to reas-sert Egyptian leadership in the Middle East. Many Egyptians say the country’s role was diminished role under Morsi’s predecessor, ousted authoritarian Presi-dent Hosni Mubarak, and that this allowed non-Arab powers such as Turkey and Iran to gain infl uence in the region.

In lambasting Iran, Morsi has placed Egypt fi rmly in the camp of Gulf Arab nations led by Saudi Arabia, which see Shiite and Persian Iran to be meddling in their affairs and a threat to their security. The United Arab Emirates, for example, accuses Iran of illegally occupying three islands it claims as its own. Bahrain says Iran is encouraging the Shiite majority in the tiny is-land nation to rise up against the ruling Sunni minority family for more rights.

Save 3 Times The


“KO, daily” is an ana-gram of Lydia Ko, the 15-year-old New Zealand amateur golfer who did exactly that to the profes-sional fi eld - four days in a row, in fact - at the recent CN Canadian Women’s Open championship in Vancouver.

But there two distinct ways to analyze the astound-ing three-stroke victory by Ko at one of the LPGA’s premier events:

1. Great, fantastic. A new star on the horizon. A female version of Tiger Woods, who dominated the men’s PGA Tour shortly after joining the big boys’ club at the relatively tender age of 20.

2. Terrible, a body slam to the LPGA, which has been struggling mightily for the past couple of years since the retirements of Hall-of-Famers Annika So-renstam and Lorena Ochoa, who retired to have children. Man, the quality of play on the LPGA Tour must be poor if a 15-year-old amateur shows up and dominates the so-called “world’s best.”

Tweeted retired Van-couver Province golf writer Kent Gilchrist: “Don’t see how it can be a good thing for the LPGA when 15-year-old beats all the best players by three shots. It shouldn’t happen and doesn’t in men’s.”

Supporters of the LPGA take View No. 1, while detractors are quick to jump on the View No. 2 bandwagon. In the end, though, the performance of

LPGA’s best gets a ko punch from teeBruce Penton

Sports Columnist

Ko - ranked as the world’s No. 1 female amateur, just ahead of Canadian amateur champ Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand - will probably be viewed as one of the fi rst ripples in a major wave of change. Goodbye to the old guard - Christie Kerr, Karrie Webb, Suzanne Petterson, Se Ri Pak, Paula Creamer - and hello to the newbies, all outstanding golfers, some of whom are still high-school age.

Lexi Thompson is 17, Michelle Wie is 22, Ko is 15, Jutanugarn is 16 and Canadian sensation Brooke Henderson just 14. All are destined for stardom. Thompson, Wie and now Ko have LPGA victories to their credit and are turning the LPGA storyline from Asian dominance (10 of the top 11 money winners in 2012 are Asians) to this refreshing onslaught of youth.

The Asian dominance is, unfortunately, an alba-tross around the LPGA’s neck when it comes to promoting the sport to jin-goistic American network TV, where the real money is. But in the end, if someone like Ko were to start putting up Tiger-like numbers, golf fans the world over will start paying attention.

• Greg Cote of the Mi-ami Herald: “Lydia Ko, 15, became the youngest LPGA Tour winner in history. She plans to use her winnings to buy a few more letters for her last name.”

• Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Sales of the biog-raphy of Joe Paterno have

started slowly at Penn State. For one thing, bookstores are having trouble decid-ing if it should go in the non-fi ction section or under ‘evidence.’”

• Cote again: “UCLA has given a football schol-arship to the son of rap-per Snoop Dogg after earlier signing the son of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The school is now a betting fa-vourite to lead the Pac-12 in post-game parties.”

• Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel: “I’m not saying Florida Gators foot-

ball coach Will Muschamp tries to restrict the fl ow of information coming out of the UF program, but he is only now confi rming that Emmitt Smith has decided to forgo his senior season to turn pro.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Bud Selig says he’ll retire after the 2014 season. So, at least two more seasons of no decision on the A’s move to San Jose.”

• Another one from Cote: “No American man seeded higher than ninth (in the U.S. Open). Pete Sampras is probably the best U.S. male player. I don’t mean ever. I mean right now, at age 41.”

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.com: “Aug. 31 marked a celestial event called a blue moon. There was never a better time to bet on the Houston Astros to win.”

• Washington State football coach Mike Leach, to reporters, on his team’s season-opening 30-6 loss at BYU: “If you really wanted to see us play well, you should have been there for Monday’s practice.”

• Headline at ProFoot-ballMock.com: “Andrew Luck already sick of hearing new Colts teammates say, ‘But that’s not how our last QB did it.’”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Finally, some good news for Lance

Armstrong: He gets to keep his four ESPYs.”

• Headline at TheOn-ion.com: “Lance Armstrong lets down single person who still believed him.”

• Bianchi again: “What was the dumber play - the Kent State player who ran 68 yards the wrong way with a fumble on Thursday night or the two Towson State players who tackled him before he got to the end zone? Let’s defer to Joe Theismann, who once said, “Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.”

OFFICIAL SALES LAUNCH EVENT


How do you spell relief? W-I-N!

The Saskatchewan Roughriders kicked their fi ve-game losing streak to the curb with a convincing 52-0 rout of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Labour Day Classic XLIX Sunday afternoon before a sellout crowd of 33,427.

What changed? The Riders will tell you “noth-ing.” The football gods just seemed to smile on them for the fi rst time in a long time. The evidence was a Sandro DeAngelis 50-yard field goal that capped the Riders’ opening drive. It hit the right upright and fell through the posts for an early 3-0 lead. Who would have thought that’s all the offence they would need for the day?

But as far as game prep goes, nothing really changed. Coach Corey Chamblin pointed out after the game the additions of middle line-backer Joe Lobendahn and cornerback Milt Collins had a positive effect, but overall, it was just Saskatchewan’s day.

“I’ll tell you what, I told the guys this is the biggest win of my career,” Chamblin said after the game. “Even

bigger than the fi rst one. It seemed like everything went right. After fi ve weeks when everything goes wrong, thank God things went right today.”

Through the losing stretch, Chamblin calmly advised his team and Rider fans that if they continued to work to their fullest each practice and in games, things would turn around. Boy did they ever.

“We didn’t change one thing,” said Rider tailback Kory Sheets, who had his fi rst 100-yard rushing game as a Rider. “Actually no, we changed one thing. We fi nished.”

They sure did, scoring 20 points off a ton of Blue Bomber turnovers. nd the victory was even sweeter for the many former Blue Bomb-ers who now wear green and white.

“It feels great,” said

smiling Rider lineman Bren-don Labatte who spent the past four years with Winni-peg. “This is the fi rst Labour Day I’ve ever won and what do they say? If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. It was just a great all-around team effort today. This is the Rider team you can expect the rest of the way. We’re a good squad with a lot of talent and if we keep playing this hard we’ll be all right.

It was the largest margin of victory for the Riders in the history of the Classic, and the fi rst shutout since the very fi rst Labour Day Classic in 1949, also a Rider win. But it came with a price. Rider quarterback Darian Durant left the game with a neck in-jury and he wouldn’t commit to playing in next Sunday’s Banjo Bowl.

However Chamblin re-ported the injury wasn’t

serious and that had the game been closer, Durant would have come back in.

Of course nothing’s ever easy around here and the skeptics say it was a hollow victory, over a last-place Win-nipeg team that left Regina at 2-7 while the Riders went to 4-5. It doesn’t matter! After the gloom and doom we’ve gone through the past six weeks, it’s time to smile again. They earned it.

“It was just one of those days,” Chamblin said. “We kept working hard and I believed things would turn around. Now I hope it con-tinues.”

NationalWINNIPEG - Frustrat-

ed Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans shouldn’t expect any more heads to roll in the wake of the CFL team’s humiliating 52-0 road loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday.

Bombers board of directors chairperson Bill Watchorn said Tuesday in a phone interview that he’s aware of the growing backlash directed at team vice-president and general manager Joe Mack, but said that no changes to the team’s front offi ce are expected.

Mack has been on the hot seat since he fi red former head coach Paul LaPolice on Aug. 25 and replaced him on an interim basis with defensive co-ordinator Tim Burke.

Following Burke’s debut in Sunday’s loss – the

fi rst time the Bombers (2-7) have been held scoreless since 1969 – Mack became the target of a Facebook page called “Fire Joe Mack Petition” and a “Fire Joe Mack” Twitter feed.

***HAMILTON - Chris

Williams wrote his name into the CFL’s record book twice in one play at the Labour Day Classic.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats star took a punt return back 82 yards for a touchdown in the fi rst quarter against the Toronto Argonauts on Monday, his league-record sixth return touchdown of the season.

It was Williams’s fi fth punt return TD of the season and marked a CFL-record third straight game that he had taken a punt back for the touchdown. He also has one kick return for a score this season.

Williams returned a punt 70 yards last week for a TD in Montreal, and recorded a 71-yard punt return TD a week earlier in Winnipeg. The 24-year-old sophomore is now tied with Henry (Gizmo) Williams’s 1991 record of fi ve punt return TDs.

Chris Williams leads the CFL with 11 touch-downs overall.

InternationalNEW ORLEANS -

The NFL Players Asso-

ciation has asked a federal judge for a temporary re-straining order that would allow players suspended in connection with the NFL’s bounty investigation to rejoin their teams in time to play regular season openers.

The union, which fi led the motion Tuesday on behalf of New Orleans defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita, and free agent de-fensive lineman Anthony Hargrove, argues the play-

ers will suffer irreparable harm if they are forced to miss games while their case against the league proceeds.

Suspended Saints line-backer Jonathan Vilma had already fi led a similar mo-tion when his full-season suspension began earlier. The other three players’ suspensions began this week.

The players ultimately want their suspensions thrown out because they argue the disciplinary

process was fundamentally fl awed and unfair.

U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan, who is hearing the case, has said she found the league’s handling of the bounty matter to be unfair to the players and their punish-ments excessive, but she has also said she is not yet comfortable that federal courts have jurisdiction to rule on a process that was collectively bargained between the union and the league.
