Jeers to the removal of the Woodlawn outdoor pool we once had for all families and kids to go to.

Jeers to a skate park that is nothing but trouble with mischief, drugs and a lack of supervision from authorities.

Jeers for having to drive 78 km/h on Highway 39 behind the ugly yellow bus. This is morning rush hour ... really!

Jeers to all the bad employees at senior citizen homes. How dare you treat the elderly like crap.

Jeers for putting your garbage out after they pick up.

Jeers to the person who ties their dog outside 24/7 in this heat and humidity. How would you like it if that were you?

Jeers to all those who think it’s OK to let their cats out to roam and use everyone’s fl ower beds and lawns for their bathroom.

Jeers to people driving vehicles onto the section of the parking lot that is being paved at the leisure centre!

Learning to walk is one of the fi rst skills we all de-velop as a child, but Brittany Orsted had to learn to do it all over again.

The Estevan teen re-cently returned from her jaunt to Toronto as a partici-pant in the Miss Teen Canada World competition. She did more than just participate, but was selected for the top four as most photogenic and is using this experience to propel herself to Ecuador.

Michelle Weswaldi is the Miss Teen Canada World executive director and took a particular liking to Orsted in Toronto, encouraging her to pursue the pageant world further. That will fi rst take her to Ecuador in September for Miss Teen Earth. There will be about 15 to 20 countries competing, and Orsted will be Canada’s representative.

The quiet and shy 19-year-old confi rmed that all these experiences have made her more confi dent, but that’s still what Weswaldi wants to see more of from the Estevanite.

“I’ve always had model-ling in the back of my head, but I said ‘no, this is not me.’ I didn’t have the confi dence,” Orsted said.

After graduating from high school in June 2011, she said she started to get more confi dent. When Weswaldi fi rst told Orsted she’d like to see her in more pageants, she was thinking it would be a year or so before the next one, not in less than two months.

After the trip to Ecua-dor, Orsted has another date in November to head to Van-

couver for an international modelling event with women from 50 other countries.

“I would love to pursue it. I love doing this,” she said, unable to keep her smile from showing.

Her mother Sherrilee said it was a bit of a surprise to learn her daughter was selected into the top four as most photogenic.

She said, “It was funny because she called me that night and said, ‘You know how I think I’m not very photogenic,’ and she had just said she saw the picture that they put out there and said, ‘My eyes look creepy.’ I’m like, really?”

Brittany was incredibly busy over the course of the week-long pageant.

She said they only had three to fi ve hours of sleep, with their days spent going to events, dance rehearsals, photo shoots and interviews.

“We had an instructor that showed us how to walk properly, and there was another person that came in and showed us how to dance and what you have to do with your poses in the bathing suit and evening gown,” said Brittany.

The dancing she missed because she was in a photo shoot after being selected as one of the most photogenic. She has a background in dance, but hasn’t taken any classes in the past year. Even so, she picked up on the moves pretty quickly.

“This whole modelling experience, I haven’t done before, so it’s all new to me,” Brittany said, particularly in

regards to the walking. “My walking has been improving since I went to Saskatoon for provincials. (Weswaldi) said that when I walk it’s stiff, so when I walk I have to hold my poses longer and be more confi dent.”

She was in Toronto from July 14 to 22 representing Saskatchewan’s southeast after being selected at the provincial competition in Saskatoon this past March.

“It was a great experi-ence meeting all the girls from across Canada,” said Brittany, noting there were 62 pageant participants in the competition.

It’s an expensive trip — the cost just to enter the pageant was $2,900 — so Brittany was expected to do some fundraising in order to help cover her costs, as well as raising funds for the pageant’s primary charity, Free the Children. Brittany had no trouble surpassing her goal of $1,000, raising just over $2,000 for the organization that empowers children to help other youth around the world.

“I’m so proud of what the community has done for me,” said Brittany. “It’s such an honour how the commu-nity supported me.”

To raise money for the charity, she hosted a chipping contest, went to the Bikers Against Diabetes rodeo and appeared at the MS Walk and anti-bullying walk.

“My platform was bul-lying, so I thought that was a great way to start it off.”

She noted that she had been bullied in school and

understands it’s a community problem.

“It affects teenagers and children in the community. It really touches me because I’ve been affected.”

The pageant in Ecuador is from Sept. 11 to 16 and will include competitions in both bathing suit and evening gown.

It was interesting to listen to a brief presentation made recently by Johannes Vervloed, Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

To have someone of Vervloed’s stature speaking locally (in Yorkton) was interest-ing in itself, but the reason for his visit was of greater interest.

While in Saskatchewan, prior to speaking in Yorkton, Vervloed toured sev-eral companies including Milligan Biotech in Foam Lake, and LDM Foods and Grain Millers at Yorkton. It was not coincidence that Vervloed focused quite a bit of his time looking at canola processing here.

Vervloed said he believed there are chances for co-operation, adding they have actively worked on “an inventory of these opportunities.” Clearly one of those opportunities revolved around canola.

The visit was to begin to confi rm those opportunities, he said, adding “the proof of the pudding is always in eating it.”

In the case of canola, Vervloed ex-plained how the European Union has initi-

ated a phase-in to 2020 of a 10 per cent use of biofuel in diesel, a mandate that could be met by the use of canola oil.

The idea of canola oil fl owing into biodiesel production is hardly revolution-ary. It has been one of the driving forces behind higher prices, increased processing, and expanding acres in recent years.

While biodiesel has spurred expansion for canola, there has been less actual pro-duction than one might have anticipated.

The situation is one where the idea of biodiesel has grown more quickly than implementation of production.

The reasons for both are pretty straight-forward.

In terms of interest in biodiesel, it fi ts

with an increased public interest in envi-ronmental sustainability.

It also fi ts well with political agendas that call for less reliance on imported oil stocks. The idea of growing oil looks good against the threat of disrupted imported sources.

The production of biodiesel has lagged because as canola prices have climbed, the ability to make a dollar at the production level has been impacted.

Ultimately to make sense, biodiesel production must be competitive with traditional oil sources. At present that is not the case.

Mandated requirements will help push production, but one might argue it is an artifi cial market which runs counter to the true philosophy of sustainability.

As the biodiesel sector does develop moving forward, canola should benefi t. And connections like those starting to be made between the Saskatchewan canola growing region and the Netherlands are the signs of that.

There are a few things that journal-ists aren’t allowed to do.

Some of them are things nobody should really do, like accept a bribe. Other rules are just for reporters. No-body else has to write under the stan-dards of Canadian Press. Perhaps the most important thing we aren’t allowed to do is make up the news, or what could be considered equally as low, stealing somebody else’s news.

Even though these are things that everybody, reporter or not, is probably conscious of, some journalists just can’t stop from doing it, and considering the public nature of our work, it’s pretty unbelievable that anybody could ever not be discovered.

Most recently a writer for The New Yorker quit the publication after it came to light that a number of quotes attribut-ed to Bob Dylan in a recently published non-fi ction book were invented by the author himself.

These things don’t just show up at large publications; a reporter at a weekly newspaper in Alberta, The Anchor Weekly, was recently found to have cop-ied a number of columns claiming them as his own. I have heard people talk about the pressures of deadlines leading to a reporter’s imagination turning to

delusions that they could get away with something like copying someone else’s work or fabricating quotes, but I have never encountered such an idea myself because of a tight deadline.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote an excel-lent article in The New Yorker on the subject of plagiarism and intellectual property rights and mentioned his own feelings when he discovered parts of his work had been used by a playwright for a play. He said he wasn’t as offended as he perhaps could have been, writing, “instead of feeling that my words had been taken from me, I felt that they had become part of some grander cause.”

Gladwell further explained that un-der copyright law, it’s not important that another works was copied but instead what was copied and how much.

Obviously, in the case of the Alberta columnist, how much was everything. He had copied and pasted entire columns from several different writers. It’s an

inexcusable and lazy way to turn in a piece of work. I’ve been pretty stress free since 2003, and since probably before, so I don’t know what everybody gets so worked up about deadlines for.

The false quotes attributed to Bob Dylan are an equally egregious jour-nalistic crime. There is no way anybody should be writing quotes for a subject, unless they work in public relations, or as it’s known in the journalism world, The Devil’s Playground.

People writing press releases do it all the time, and it’s OK for them, because they are just putting words in the mouths of their boss and everybody knows those quotes are made up. It’s expected that journalists have actually spoken to the person they are quoting, and after speaking to them, have done a perfect job of relaying the message to their readers.

One thing a college teacher of mine would repeat to his students is the only thing a journalist has is their credibility. Once it’s gone, it is very diffi cult to get it back, and when one reporter loses credibility, it hurts the reputation of all of us. Whether making up quotes or lift-ing complete stories from someone else, every time it happens, it leaves another chink in the media’s armor.

I read the 50 Shades of Grey series. I kept see-ing the cover everywhere, reading the hype online and without really knowing the subject matter of the series, I bought the trilogy on my eReader and added them to my summer reading list.

I’ll just say, wow.If you haven’t heard of

the E. L. James series and don’t know what I’m talk-ing about, head to Google and fi nd out. Unless you’re younger than 18. Or 20. I’m pretty sure I’m too young to have read that.

Anyway, sometimes I read at work when I have tons of downtime and no

one is calling me back. It’s an innocent habit that’s just as much a time-waster as mindlessly staring at Twit-ter, which I do a lot of too. So I was sitting at my desk, reading the fi nal 50 Shades on my Kobo at my desk.

And this is when the moral of the story comes in: don’t read … passionate (to be polite) novels at work. It’s probably not something you should even mention reading, ever, to anyone. I’m sharing this with you as a cautionary tale.

Because no one ever attempts conversation with me after 4 p.m. at work, I fi gured I was safe reading

a risqué novel. Plus, there’s no cover to give away what I’m reading.

So of course my boss comes over to talk to me — and notices my Kobo, which I had promptly flipped upside down on my desk, and asks me to demonstrate how to turn the pages, since

he’s not really comfortable with his.

I very nearly died.I turned bright red,

dropped the Kobo on the fl oor in my fl uster, tried to switch books to something a little less racy and stuttered helplessly.

My boss asks, “What

are you reading?” because this is the appropriate re-sponse to my freak out.

And I, ever the one with a quick comeback or witty report, sat in my seat, sweat-ing helplessly and forming words with my mouth that I was unable to speak. Finally, I squeaked out “I’d rather not say.”

Death. Social death. My boss laughed, almost like he knew. Then I showed him how to tap the sides of the screen to turn pages.

I wish I could say I then woke up from a horrible dream.

So take heed: if you’re going to read 50 Shades of

Grey or any book of the sort, be smarter than I. First, leave the novel at home, the library, the bookstore, wherever you read. Second, develop some social skills. I could have been so much smoother in that situation. “Sorry, my Kobo just died.” “Sorry, it’s downloading a novel right now.” “Sorry, I have no idea how to turn the pages.”

Good luck.Tonaya Marr will re-

ply to e-mails at tonaya.marr@gmail.com or tweets send to @TonayaMarr. She promises to be a lot more composed over the Internet than she is in person.

Maybe It’s Just Me

Q: I recently canceled my cable subscription in order to save money. While watching the news streamed on my computer is OK, I’d like to pick up local sta-tions on my TV. How can I do that? -- Chuck F., New Hampshire

A: Today’s over-the-air TV transmissions are en-tirely digital, a change man-dated by the government a couple of years back. The

old “analog” TV transmis-sions were switched off in 2010, something that own-ers of old tube televisions who try to pick up signals with their old antennae are painfully aware of.

However, even with an older television, you can pick up line-of-sight transmissions and receive local television stations. Converter boxes are avail-able at most large retailers that sell electronics and cost from $30 to $60. You can learn more at http://dtv.gov/consumercorner_4.html.

If you have a newer HD television, you might be able

to pick up a few signals if the TV has a built-in digital antenna. If not, there are several HD antennas on the market. If you live in an area where TV signals are traditionally faint, you’ll absolutely need one of these. They start at around $45 and go up in price, but the plus side is that you won’t pay any more money for TV signals once the antenna is up. At least one brand of HD antenna was designed to be set up inside your home, but there are other brands specifi cally made to be set up outside or on the roof. Outdoor antennas

can pick up signals up to 50 miles away in most cases, as long as there aren’t too many obstructions like hills or other buildings between your home and the transmis-sion source.

To set up an outdoor HD antenna, follow the instruc-tions included with the prod-uct. Those made for roof-tops should include proper mounting bolts and, ideally, small sealing squares (basi-cally roof-patching squares) that sit between the antenna mount base and the roof. If those sealing squares aren’t included, head to your home-improvement store for roof patches and cut them to fi t.

You’ll also need to feed the coaxial cable connecting the antenna back into the house to your television. If possible, try using the holes already drilled by the cable company to install its coax, rather than punch more holes in your home’s envelope.

A number of videos on the web can provide more information on antenna installation. This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuY-D9fQG_s) shows one homeowner’s installation option, at the top of the eave. Another (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0WQtzMdo7I) provides details on properly

positioning the antenna for an optimal signal, which is important in remote areas.

HOME TIP: If you have an existing dish or antenna mount on the roof, take note of how the mount base is set up. It can be a big help in setting up your HD antenna without causing a roof leak.

Before the Olympics even started, athletes were being banned from the Games.

At least one athlete was anyway, and for an interesting twist she was disqualifi ed from compe-tition because of something she was putting into her body. The suspended Greek athlete didn’t even cheat, but her country’s Olympic governing body saw fi t to suspend nonetheless.

The crime she committed was to say some inappropriate and kind of racist things on Twitter,

which has been getting high-profi le people into trouble since coming online in 2006. The penalty in this case doesn’t really fi t the crime. Who knows exactly what this particular

athlete meant by the tweet? It may not have been intended to harm or cause insult to anyone. The athlete in question is 23 and shouldn’t be surprised at how the Internet works. When

posting something online, it can be interpreted many different ways with little control by the author over how the message is read.

It may have been a joke that her friends would fi nd funny. I have certainly made some shocking jokes before that, if told over a forum like Twitter instead of amongst friends, could very easily be interpreted in a way that would make people think I am a horrible person.

This comment is likely a simple lapse in judgment from a young woman who should know better, but should also still be able to compete in an Olympic Games. These come around every four years, and she likely will not compete at any games now. Not everybody gets a second opportunity at the Olympics.

If a Canadian athlete said the same thing, I would hope they would still be able to com-pete. The backlash of venomous tweets in their direction afterward would be more than a suffi cient penalty. — Jordan Baker

As a member of a team representing a country, Olympic athletes should be considered role models. Based just on the fact that they’re representing more than themselves, Olympians who use social media to share racist views should be punished.

I understand that there’s a line when it comes to freedom of speech. Athletes can defi nitely say whatever they’d like, but when their comments cross socially acceptable lines, they’re knowingly

putting themselves in trouble. If you’ve been chosen to represent your sport and your country, you should be holding yourself to the standards the rest of your nation has for you. And while it may seem like an Olympic athlete’s right to free speech is less than an average person’s, I’d say not.

Let’s say you have a racist neighbour who sometimes slips into hate speech. He may be an awesome person otherwise, a great father and a great neighbour, but knowing that he has an opinion of hate and shares it pretty freely isn’t something you’ll forget, or maybe even forgive him for. That damaged opinion is magnifi ed in public fi gures. People in the public spotlight are going to be analyzed more carefully and picked apart when they post something inappropriate.

I do believe that Olympic athletes succeed because of their hard work and athletic skill, not their moral character. After all, character doesn’t run a race faster than the other racers. But athletes represent their countries. Their behaviour refl ects more than themselves, and at a peaceful gathering of nations, racism and hatred have no place. —Tonaya Marr

Should athletes be banned from Olympic competition based on social media comments?

• When patching cracks in plaster walls, if the crack is large or it’s a small hole, stuff it with wadded-up newspaper or steel wool in order to fi ll the gap. Apply the plaster over the top.

• Recipe substitution: For each cup of brown sugar needed, use 1 cup of white sugar and 2 tablespoons of molasses.

• If your washer over-suds because you acci-dentally added too much

detergent, just add a half-cup of white vinegar to the wash water. It will dampen the extra bubbles. Then make sure to put the load through an additional rinse to eliminate soap residue in your clothes.

• Ever had to deal with early arrivals at your garage sale? If so, you know it can be annoying and disruptive. When advertising your sale, use the block number in-stead of your house number. It will still be easy to fi nd,

but you’re less likely to get staked out.

• “It can be hard to fi nd a good contractor or company to provide a service. The best referral resource I’ve found is friends. When-ever someone I know has work done at their home or purchases an item I might be interested in, I always fi nd out the details of who worked on it or where it was purchased, and whether my friends were satisfi ed with the outcome. Friends and

even acquaintances usually are quite amenable to giv-ing details, especially when they are either very pleased or very displeased with a job.” -- R.E. in New York

The Japanese sushi chef may not touch fi sh for years before becoming a master, but the group who dabbled in sushi making at the library last week were able to get their hands dirty right away.

That’s how things work when you’re learning some-

thing in a one-hour session, even though there was no fi sh on the ingredients table.

Sushi chefs must be licensed in order to prepare certain kinds of the food like fugu, which can lead to poisoning if not done properly.

There was no risk of

poisoning at the Estevan Public Library, as Jill Ker-gen, the adult program co-ordinator at the library who organized the event, said they weren’t using any raw fi sh.

“A lot of people think sushi is just rice and raw fi sh,” she told the group of

about 10, but noted, “we’re not going to be using any raw fi sh today.”

Kergen said the most important thing that makes sushi, sushi is the vinegared rice followed by a topping that may or may not include fi sh.

For those who are orga-

nizing a party and looking to serve sushi, she noted that it’s the rice that will really bring the appetizers together.

“I would recommend the sushi rice. The good, short-grain sushi rice. It’s all about the rice. The actual sushi chefs have to train for years before they perfect the rice, and they’re not allowed to cut any fi sh or anything.”

She compared sticky rice with the sushi rice and because the sushi rice grains are smaller, it’s stickier.

“It cuts much nicer be-cause the grains don’t come apart when you try to cut it into pieces.”

The attendees on July 26 made several different kinds of sushi with ingredi-ents like crab, avocado and cucumbers, which were the toppings on hand.

They made maki rolls, which are different from the nigiri sushi that is more of a ball. They also rolled both futomaki, with seaweed on the outside, and uramaki, a more Americanized version of sushi. It’s an inside-out roll where the rice acts as the outer shell and is more ap-pealing to many westerners.

They also made temaki

style sushi, which looks more like a taco.

“You just fold it up like a fajita, so if you’re having a party you could put all the ingredients out, and every-one can roll their own.”

California rolls are one of the most popular styles in Canada, so for the evening’s workshop Kergen said they would be learning more about different ways of rolling, rather than different ingredients.

“If you actually learn how to roll it, you can pretty much put anything in there,” she said, adding that it takes a couple tries just get it sticking together.

Important tools are the bamboo rolling mat, and some kind of saran wrap or a Ziploc bag. A bowl of vinegared water is also important to dip your fi ngers into because the rice will stick to your hands.

“I’ve always been kind of a sushi buff, so I like it,” said Kergen, noting, “the library has done (a sushi workshop) in the past and it went over really well. Food programs tend to (be) more popular than other programs here, especially in the summer.”

You’ve to hand it to B.C. Premier Christy Clark. It takes a lot of balls to do what she did just prior to last week’s provincial premier’s conference, and then throughout the meet-ing. The premier from Lotus Land has decided she will use out-and-out extortion against her province to the east when it comes to the Northern Gateway pipeline.

As Sun News’ Ezra Levant said, “She wants a shakedown of the oil money.”

Honestly, I can’t think of a better way to put it. You wanna sell in our neighbour-hood? We wanna piece, is precisely the message Clark has put forward.

Don’t like it? “No pipeline,” she said to the national media on July 25.

That’s a shakedown by any defi nition that I know.

B.C. is assuming all the maritime risk, she asserts. True, that, just as it does for shipping potash and

wheat. Bitumen and wheat are not the same thing, she notes. Maybe not. But then again, what difference does that make? If she can do it for one commodity, why not another?

I seem to recall work-ing in Dawson Creek, B.C. in 1999, building the Al-liance Pipeline. That line ships B.C. and Alberta gas to Chicago. It goes through Alberta and Saskatchewan. Should Alberta then say, “Well, there Ms. Clark, you don’t want to allow our oil pipeline? How about we turn off the valve on Alliance somewhere near Grande Prairie?”

The B.C. gas industry would grind to a halt in a day, as would its royalties to the province.

Clark’s move is the type of thing a desperate, unpopular premier tries to do when facing a resur-gent opposition prior to an election. In Saskatchewan we saw this in the early

‘90s when Grant Devine promised “Fair Share Sas-katchewan,” which would have seen government jobs decentralized from Regina to communities throughout the province.

She does not have a constitutional leg to stand on. This is federally regu-lated via the National En-ergy Board, and for good reason. Provinces shouldn’t be able to hold others for ransom. That is, of course, unless you are Quebec. As a result, Newfoundland is spending a pile of money to run a power line from Labrador to Newfoundland and then to Nova Scotia in

order to sell electricity to its neighbours to the south.

Maybe Saskatchewan and Manitoba should get in on the action as well, since all the TransCanada and Enbridge mainlines run through our provinces. Not only could we get a cut of B.C. gas, but Alberta oil. The problem is we would expect an army of rednecks descending on Regina, 30-30 Winchesters in hand.

Wars have been fought over such things, as is evidenced by Sudan and it’s year-old former half,

South Sudan. Cutting off pipelines is heady, and often deadly stuff.

What Clark needs to realize is that there is no way Prime Minister Stephen Harper is going to let this pipeline fail. The Keystone XL pipeline has become a fi asco, but that is by forces (U.S. government) out of our control. Northern Gate-way is most defi nitely in our control. Without at least one pipeline, Fort McMurray’s oilsands will stall, and with it, the economy of the entire nation.

The Northern Gate-way pipeline is Harper’s railroad, as surely as the CPR was Sir John A. Mac-donald’s. It is an exercise in nation building, despite what the First Nations and environmentalists say. Without these conduits to the outside world - railways, highways, and pipelines,

our bountiful resources are worthless. Macdonald understood that. Harper understands that. Clark, apparently, does not.

Does anyone think Vancouver would be a frac-tion of the size it is now if it were not for the port and the infrastructure connect-ing it to the rest of Canada? Get rid of the railways, highways and pipelines, and soon Vancouver’s very reason for being disappears, too. By the way, Ms. Clark, isn’t oil shipped out of Van-couver every day?

Clark may think she has some power in this matter. However, she’s soon going to discover who the big boy is on the block, and it’s not her.

NationalCFB SHILO, Man. - A

soldier has been shot and an-other is in custody following an altercation at a military base in Manitoba.

The Canadian Forces say the incident took place early Sunday at Canadian Forces Base Shilo, located about 200 kilometres west of Winnipeg.

They say the soldier who was shot suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Forces also say the gun involved has been seized, and that it is not a military-issued weapon.

Maj. Greg Poehlmann, a military spokesman, won’t say where on the base the shooting happened or what type of gun was seized.

No charges have been laid, and military police con-tinue to investigate.

***MONTREAL - The

Quebec government is pre-paring to sue several engi-neering companies for $3.4 million over a tunnel collapse last year.

The three engineering fi rms — CIMA+, Dessau and SNC-Lavalin — have received a lawyer’s letter from the provincial government demanding that sum.

Those companies were involved in renovations to the Viger Tunnel, which saw

a 25-tonne concrete beam collapse. While the busy downtown tunnel is generally fi lled with traffi c the accident occurred on a weekend morn-ing and nobody was hurt.

The government had an-nounced plans several months ago to seek compensation. Its legal letter was sent last week, on July 27.

The provincial Transport Department says mistakes were committed by those companies and it wants to be refunded for the repair costs.

***GREAT FALLS, Mont. -

U.S. and Canadian authorities said a smuggling ring used remote parts of the border to move more than 1,000 kilo-grams of cocaine into Canada and 1.3 million tablets of ecstasy into the United States over more than two years.

U.S. Attorney for Mon-tana Michael Cotter said the international investigation seized 414 kilograms of cocaine and 29 kilograms of ecstasy, and 17 people were arrested in the U.S. and Canada, making it one of the largest drug busts on either side of the border.

“This is certainly the largest seizure both here in Montana and Saskatch-ewan,” Cotter said in a news conference in Great Falls on Monday.

Authorities revealed details of the operation and the investigation for the fi rst time as U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon sentenced one of the ring’s Canadian drivers to fi ve years in prison Monday.

InternationalNEW DELHI - A power

grid failure blacked out north-ern India for hours Monday, halting trains, forcing hospi-tals and airports onto backup power and providing a dark, sweltering reminder of the nation’s inability to meet its energy needs as it strives to be an economic power.

While the midsummer outage was unique in its reach — it hit 370 million people, more than the population of the United States and Canada combined — its impact was softened by Indians’ familiari-ty with almost daily blackouts of varying duration. Hospitals and major businesses have backup generators that seam-lessly kick in during power cuts, and upscale homes are hooked to backup systems powered by truck batteries.

Nonetheless, some small businesses were forced to shut for the day. Buildings were without water because the pumps weren’t working, and the vaunted New Delhi Metro, with 1.8 million daily riders, was paralyzed during

the morning commute.***

NEW YORK, N.Y. - A staff writer for The New Yorker has resigned and his latest book has been halted after he acknowledged in-venting quotes by Bob Dylan.

Jonah Lehrer released a statement Monday through his publisher, Houghton Miff-lin Harcourt, saying that some Dylan quotes appearing in his book “Imagine: How Creativ-ity Works” did “not exist.” Others were “unintentional misquotations, or represented improper combinations of previously existing quotes.”

Lehrer said he acknowl-edged his actions after being contacted by Michael Moyni-han of the online publication Tablet Magazine, which earlier Monday released an in-depth story on the Dylan passages in “Imagine”

“I told Mr. Moynihan that they (the quotes in ques-tion) were from archival interview footage provided to me by Dylan’s representa-tives. This was a lie spoken in a moment of panic. When Mr. Moynihan followed up, I continued to lie, and say things I should not have said,” Lehrer wrote in his statement.

“The lies are over now. I understand the gravity of my position. I want to apologize to everyone I have let down, especially my editors and readers.”

***BEIRUT - Humanitarian

conditions have grown even more dire in the besieged Syria city of Aleppo with activists reporting on Tuesday dwindling stocks of food and cooking gas and only inter-mittent electricity supplies as droves of residents fl ee 11 days of intense clashes between rebels and regime forces.

Government helicopters pounded rebel neighbour-hoods across Syria’s largest city and main commercial hub. Activists said the random shelling has forced many civilians to fl ee to other neigh-bourhoods or even escape the city altogether. The U.N. said late Sunday that about 200,000 had fl ed the city of about 3 million.

“The humanitarian situ-ation here is very bad,” Mo-hammed Saeed, an activist living in the city, told The Associated Press by Skype. “There is not enough food and people are trying to leave. We really need support from the outside. There is random shelling against civilians,” he added. “The city has pretty much run out of cooking gas, so people are cooking on open fl ames or with electricity, which cuts out a lot.”

He said shells were falling on the southwestern neighbourhoods of Salahed-dine and Seif al-Dawla, rebel

strongholds since the rebel Free Syrian Army began its assault on Aleppo 11 days ago.

WASHINGTON - An-other week, another presiden-tial candidate with apparent momentum — this time U.S. President Barack Obama, according to a new poll that places him ahead of Mitt Romney in three key swing states.

The survey by Quinni-piac University, CBS News and The New York Times suggests Obama is leading his Republican rival in Flor-ida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Obama-versus-Romney breakdown is 51 per cent to 45 per cent in Florida, 50-44 in Ohio and 53-42 in Penn-sylvania.

The majority of voters in all three states said they found Obama more likeable. And when asked about the presi-dent’s economic policies, a majority of likely voters said either that they “are improv-ing the economy now” or will improve the economy if given more time to work.

All three states are considered up for grabs in November’s presidential election, and victory in criti-cal battleground states helps propel candidates to the White House.

One of the most amaz-ing things about the recent Canadian women’s amateur golf championship in Leth-bridge - besides the incredible 14-under-par score over four rounds posted by the champ, Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand - was the utter dominance by teenagers.

This was the Canadian women’s amateur, not the junior women’s.

Of the top fi ve, the elder stateswoman was a South Dakota player, Kimberley Kaufman, the only one of legal age to enjoy a cool post-round beer. She’s 20. Just call her “Granny.”

Jutanugarn is a 16-year-old phenom, well known in the world of women’s golf, where she’s the world’s No. 1-ranked amateur. She’s a year or two away from the LPGA Tour, where she will take on the world’s best alongside her sis-ter, Moriya, who is 17. Moriya fi nished second at Lethbridge, with a nine-under-par score.

Angel Yin of California finished fourth, and she’s 13. We’ll repeat, this is the women’s amateur.

Just in case you thought

the world of young teenaged phenoms was limited to Thai-land and the United States, think again. The top Canadian fi nisher was Brooke Hender-son of Smiths Falls, Ont. She fi nished fi fth and she’s only 14-years-old.

Imagine that! Canada’s best women’s amateur golfer is 14! With Canada’s footprint on the LPGA tour about as weak these days as it has ever been - Lori Kane and Alena Sharp stand 76th and 89th respectively in tour earn-ings - golf fans in this country might have to wait another six or seven years for Henderson to lend some legitimate Maple Leaf presence to the LPGA.

“Even at fi ve years of age you could see that she (Brooke) was special,” her pro, Paulin Vaillancourt, told Globe and Mail columnist Roy McGregor. “Even on cold, rainy days when no one else would be out here, she’d be here hitting balls. She has just an incredible work ethic.”

Henderson’s youthful talent is not an anomaly among the top Canadians. Second-, third- and fourth-highest fi nishing Canadians at the

national championship were girls aged 17, 21 and 19. All it means is that Canadian girls are catching up to the rest of the world, where American Lexi Thompson, 17, is the next big thing, and 12-year-olds in South Korea are black sheep of their families if they’re not regularly shooting under par.

While the Jutanugarns are slam-dunk stars-to-be in women’s golf, here’s hoping Henderson can keep pace. Goodness knows she has youth on her side.

• Blogger Bill Littlejohn, on why the World Toe Wres-tling Championships weren’t broadcast: “They weren’t wired for digital TV.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “They should’ve had Keith Richards light the Olympic fl ame by fl icking a cigarette butt.”

• Ostler, second of three in a row: “Second-guessing: To declare the Olympics open, why didn’t they let Mick and Keith play Start Me Up?”

• Ostler’s hat trick: “The Chinese wore great outfi ts. I heard they were made in Connecticut.”

• From TC in B.C.: “In an attempt to generate more revenue, NBA jerseys will feature small ad patches next season. This will open the doors to The Chicago Red Bulls, Orlando Magic Kingdom, Denver McNug-gets, LA Frosted Flakers and Sacramento Burger Kings. Personally.

• R.J. Currie of sportsde-ke.com: “A Scottish brewery has released Never Mind the Anabolics, a beer with eight il-legal, performance-enhancing

ingredients and high alcohol content. Or as a Detroit Lion calls it, a real time-saver.”

• David Whitley, Fan-House: “Too much is always made of the headaches Olym-pic visitors must endure. As long as the bus delivering the Dream Team doesn’t get lost, Americans’ biggest worry is Bob Costas will develop laryngitis and NBC will sub-lease Chris Berman.”

• A quick one from Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Kobe Bryant said his U.S. basketball teammates

should have their citizenship revoked if they don’t bring home the Olympic gold medal. ‘Hey, come up with your own material,’ said the Iraqi sports minister.”

• Budd Bailey of the Buffalo News, on the ano-nymity of Olympic athletes before and after the Games: “If the Americans do well, they make some money right after the Games on a tour at an arena near you, and then we spectators get ready for the next NFL game.”

• Norman Chad of the Washington Post on the Knicks not signing one-month wonder Jeremy Lin to a long-term contract after he became a free agent and signed with Houston: “Geez, that would be like Happy Days getting rid of Fonzie after a half-season.

Well you have to hand it to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. They have surprised us in each and every one of their fi rst fi ve games of the 2012 CFL season. The trouble is it hasn’t always been a pleasant surprise.

The Green and White played pretty much error-free, airtight football in their opening three games on the way to a 3-0 record. It was unreasonable to expect they would play at such a high level the rest of the way, but the way the last two weeks have gone is utterly fl ab-bergasting.

The Riders blew a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter in Calgary in Week 4 and lost 41-38 in overtime. Rider coach Corey Chamblin vowed that wouldn’t hap-pen again, but the very next game, this past Saturday at home, the Riders built up a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter against Hamilton only to eventually lose 35-34.

WHAT??This football team is this

close to being 5-0 and being

the toast of Canadian football, yet they’re mired at 3-2 along with four other teams.

“Of course you never like to lose a game in any fash-ion,” Chamblin told us after the game. “There’s things we need to reassess and we can’t have those second half slides. When turnovers happened, and the long pass to Giguere, fi eld position changed. Those are all part of a game.”

Yah, but they’re in fi rst-place going into the bye!

Sorry, that’s small con-solation ... a false positive. The biggest concern is they seem to be without the an-swers for why they can’t stop anybody in the fourth quarter. The heat is on quarterback Darian Durant, however his offence has put up 38 and 34 points in the past two losses. That’s enough to win you games.

Durant is directly re-sponsible for the club’s three

turnovers the past two weeks, yet where are the takeaways? It’s a team game and quite frankly while Durant is fi ne with assuming his share of the blame, there’s plenty of blame to go around.

What alarms this blog-ger is that the Riders were un-able to follow up Chamblin’s promise that a giant late-game collapse wouldn’t happen again. That’s proof the coach can’t control everything, but his anger and bewilderment after the game show that he’s as frustrated as everyone else. Still, as a good coach does, he’s keeping his head up.

“The positive is we go into the break a winning team, but there are things we have to fi x,” Chamblin said. “We didn’t panic, but we have to get guys off these emotional swings. We have to continue to learn how to fi nish; 42 men need to step up and play hard-nosed football.”

It’s all part of a young team growing up together, but when you think about what could have been, it keeps you up all night.

ProvincialHAMILTON - Graham

DeLaet’s fi nal round at the RBC Canadian Open was over before the leaders even teed off, but he didn’t go home empty-handed from his national championship.

The golfer from Wey-burn, Sask., closed with an even-par 70 at Hamilton Golf and Country Club on Sunday to claim the River-mead Cup as low Canadian at the event.

“I guess it’s a nice consolation prize,” said DeLaet. “You know, we come in here with higher expectations than just try-ing to beat the Canadians. We want to beat everyone in the fi eld, but there’s a lot of great Canadians in the fi eld, and I guess I am honoured to be the low Canadian.”

DeLaet fi nished in a tie for 56th and edged David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., by two strokes. They were tied entering the fi nal round

and Hearn shot a 72.Neither of Canada’s

top two players had their best game around the tree-lined layout at Hamilton, but both were pleased with the warm reception they received along the way.

NationalWINNIPEG - First the

good news from the over-fl owing hospital tent of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Linebacker Marcellus Bowman could be back in the lineup for the fi rst time this season when Winnipeg meets the Montreal Alou-ettes this Friday.

That’s when the Bomb-ers (1-4) will try for just their second win of 2012 when they host the Alou-ettes (2-3).

Bowman was practis-ing again Monday after re-covering from a hamstring injury.

With the good often comes the bad however, and

the not-so-good news Mon-day was that the CFL club will be without offensive lineman Andre Douglas for the rest of the season.

Douglas has been out with an injured ankle and now LaPolice says he will need surgery, which means he won’t return in 2012.

***LONDON - Canada

won’t have to wait an entire week for its fi rst medal of the London Olympics, and you could hear the relief in Mark Tewksbury’s voice.

Canada’s chef de mis-sion was on hand to watch Emilie Heymans and Jen-nifer Abel win bronze in the women’s three-metre synchronized diving event Sunday, putting Canada on the board on just the second day of full competition.

It was a historic medal for Heymans, who became the fi rst female diver and first Canadian summer Olympian in history to win

a medal in four straight Olympic Games.

The result takes some of the pressure off a Cana-dian Olympic team looking for a fast start in London and a top-12 fi nish overall.

Canada didn’t win a medal until the eighth day of the 2008 Beijing Olym-pics, and had just one medal through the fi rst seven days of the 2004 Athens Games.

***LONDON - Shona

Thorburn scored 18 points to lead Canada to a 73-65 victory over Britain in the women’s Olympic basketball tournament on Monday.

Britain has now lost both games in its fi rst Olym-pics since 1948.

Courtnay Pilypaitis and Kim Smith added 11 points each for Canada (1-1).

Natalie Stafford and Johannah Leedham had 15 points each for Britain,

which led 61-57 late in the fourth quarter.

But Thorburn drove to the basket to tie at 61-61 with four minutes left as Canada fi nished the game on a 16-4 run.

InternationalLONDON - China was

too good again.Cao Yuan and Zhang

Yanquan extended their country’s diving dominance Monday, winning the men’s 10-meter synchronized platform for China’s second gold medal on the boards at the London Olympics.

Cao and Zhang totalled 486.78 points in the six-dive fi nal. That spoiled the gold-medal hopes of Brit-ain’s Tom Daley and Peter Waterfi eld, who were shut out after a major mistake.

“If you miss a dive in this kind of fi eld then you’re out,” Daley said.

The 17-year-old Cao and 18-year-old Zhang are

Olympic rookies. But they were unflappable while launching themselves off the 10-meter tower before a partisan crowd shouting “GB! GB!”

***LONDON - An Kum

Ae won North Korea’s fi rst Olympic gold medal at Lon-don Games on Sunday in the women’s judo 52-kilogram category.

The 20-year-old An defeated Acosta Bermoy of Cuba in the fi nal in a match that went into overtime. An won in the fi nal minutes with a decisive throw that landed Bermoy on her back.

An won silver at the Beijing Games four years ago.

Earlier in the day, An knocked out top-seeded Misato Nakamura in the second round.

The bronze medals were won by Italy’s Rosalba Forciniti and France’s Pris-cilla Gneto.

THERE’S A LOT NEW AT HOUSTON PIZZA

Page 18 THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 2012

Summer is in full bloom, with plenty of time left to get out and play be-tween now and Labor Day. Enjoy your favorite family activities, or try something new on your sand-bucket list. The key is to jump on an idea when the inspira-tion strikes!

As you experience the magic of together time, watch the special memo-ries grow with your chil-dren. Here are “creativity on the go” ideas:

Hike and HuntOn your next hike to a

familiar destination, such as a waterfall, fi shing hole or scenic lookout, see the trek with new eyes and ears by challenging the kids to a surprise nature scavenger hunt. Before you leave, make a list of sights, sounds and smells you recall from previous outings on the trail. Copy the list for each hiker, hand it out at the trail base and let the explorers check off the fi nds as they discover

Creative outdoor summer fun

them.

Enjoy Picnics at Pub-lic Parks

When you add an “s” to “park,” a whole new world of adventure opens for your family and friends. Check out venues in your area online, set dates on your calendar and meet up weekly with your friends and their kids until school starts. Bring a dish to share, or plan a group barbecue around picnic tables and a charcoal grill.

Go to free outdoor art and music fairs and listen to live entertainment as you wander booths and ex-hibits. At some art shows, observe how artists create new works “live ... in the open air,” known in French as “en plein air.” Your own

pint-size poster-paint art-ists will be thrilled watch-ing the swish of a brush at an easel.

L a s t i n g S u m m e r Memories

At the end of summer, produce an impromp-

tu “Video Special.” Use smartphones, video re-corders or tape record-ers to interview family members like guests on a morning talk show. Save the recording, including the bloopers!

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 2012 Page 19

Virgin coconut oil is often called “low-fat fat.” Although coconut oil is a saturated fat, it’s lower in calories. It also breaks down to become energy and doesn’t get stored in the body like other fats. It has a pleasant, slightly sweet taste and blends well with a variety of foods. Three to fi ve tablespoons of coconut oil a day are recommended for best results.

Coconut oil has a long shelf life and doesn’t have to be kept refrigerated (un-less you prefer to use it in a solid state for combining with other ingredients), so buying coconut oil in bulk from online stores like

Vitacost.com will save you a lot of money. Because you can use coconut oil in so many ways, buying in bulk also is the easiest way to keep this wonderful product on hand. I not only use it on my hair and skin, it’s also become a kitchen staple.

Here are some sug-gestions on ways you can easily incorporate coconut oil into your daily diet:

--Add 1 to 2 table-spoons of coconut oil to smoothies, protein pow-ders or yogurt;

--Add a tablespoon to hot or cold cereal;

--Use coconut oil as a sugar or creamer replace-ment for either tea or coffee that’s cool enough to drink. Stir often to combine the oil with the liquid.

--Coconut oil is a healthy cooking oil, espe-cially for low- to medium-heat cooking and sauteing

as it doesn’t break down easily. Add 1 to 3 table-spoons to your pan and cook eggs, vegetables, rice and grain dishes, potatoes, curries, soups, stews and meats.

--Spread some coco-nut oil on slices of bread, rolls, bagels or crackers.

--Make compound “butters” and flavored spreads with solid coconut oil. Blend 2 to 3 table-spoons of coconut oil with nut butters, cream cheese or fruit spreads. Also try adding some cinnamon and honey to coconut oil to make a spread.

--Combine liquid co-conut oil with herbs and spices to create a healthy dressing for salads.

BABA GHANOUSH

My version of baba ghanoush has added fl avor and health benefi ts with the addition of coconut oil. This savory eggplant puree is fl avored with ta-hini, lemon juice and fresh herbs. Eat it with wedges

of whole-wheat pita bread for dipping, or spoon it over roasted meats and vegetables.

1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), halved length-wise

1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided

3 tablespoons sesame tahini

1 to 2 cloves garlic, fi nely chopped

2 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish

1/4 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons coconut

oil, plus 1 tablespoon more for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Sprinkle eggplant with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place eggplant cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Prick all over with a fork and bake until soft and col-lapsed, about 20 minutes.

2. When cool enough to handle, scoop egg-plant pulp into a bowl

and discard skin. Add re-maining teaspoon of salt, the tahini, garlic, yogurt, parsley, lemon juice and the coconut oil. Mash for a chunky texture or puree in a blender (before add-ing parsley) for a smooth texture.

3. Garnish with pars-ley and drizzle with coco-nut oil. Serve with warm pita bread or crackers.

RE

ER

SQ: Roughly 50 years

ago, I was given a hot chocolate set with six cups and saucers, and pot. It has a fl ower design and was made in Germany. How can I determine its value? -- Caroline, Edgewater, Fla.

A: You need to hire the services of a profes-sional appraiser. There are two types of appraisals, verbal and written. The verbal is less expensive; the written is usually for insurance purposes. Some appraisers also provide a “ball park” estimate. That can sometimes be a free service, but not always. Contact appraisers in your area and inquire. Inciden-tally, be aware that what your chocolate set is worth in Florida might be quite different than its value in some other part of the country.

***Q: I have an old tennis

racket in good condition.

Hot chocolate setPlease advise me as to its probable value. -- Bob, Palm Coast, Fla.

A: Randy Crow is a dealer who specializes in older sports equipment and might be able to help you. Contact him c/o Sporting Antiques, 20269 N. 86th St., Scottsdale, AZ 85255; and sportcrow@aol.com.

***Q: I have in my pos-

session two books I believe are valuable: a paperback copy of Mark Twain’s “War Prayer,” published by Pe-rennial Library, Harper and Row in 1971; and “Defense of America” by Thomas Penfi eld, issued in 1941. -- Paul, Newton, N.H.

A: If you have a com-puter, the best and fastest way I’ve found to deter-mine the value of a book is to access www.abe.com. Simply type in the name of the book and the author, and scroll until you fi nd the right edition. I did just that and found both of your books listed for less than $10 each.

***Q: I have some Kodak

wristwatches celebrating the 100th anniversary of the company. All are in their original boxes. Can you tell me their value? -- Millie, Sun City West, Ariz.

A: Bill Gesswein is the owner of The Clock Doctor and Music Box Company and has been in business for more than 30 years. He repairs and appraises both clocks and watches. His contact information is 10610 N. 71st Place, Scottsdale, AZ 85254; www.clockdr.com; and clockdr@clockdr.com.

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

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