THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2013

Cheers to the City of Estevan for their snow removal efforts. The streets are looking very good this year and the main intersections are well sanded. It’s also nice to see that even the pathways are being cleaned up as well.

Cheers to grocery stores in town for making it easier to shop locally. Your prices are unbeatable. Two thumbs up to all the great staff.

Cheers to the people who keep their sidewalks clean for us dog walkers or our meter readers, newspaper carriers and other delivery personnel.

Cheers to the Harlem Globetrotters for providing great family fun and entertain-ment. Go Globies!

Jeers to there being nowhere to take infants for a walk in a sled.

Jeers to those who haven’t kept their New Year’s resolutions. Better luck next year.

Jeers to those with a lack of faith in the Estevan Bruins, voting 70-30 that the team won’t make the playoffs. Go Bruins!

Jeers to provincial logos, updated or otherwise. They are a waste of taxpayer money.

DO THE MATH. ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Guess what, Lamb? You’re about to experience a new perspec-tive on a situation you long regarded quite differently. What you learn could open more opportunities later.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bold Bovine is tempted to charge into a new venture. But it might be best to take things one step at a time, so that you know just where you are at any given point.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to go on that fun getaway you’ve been planning. You’ll return refreshed, ready and, yes, even eager to tackle the new challenge that awaits you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child loves to fantasize about magical happenings in the early part of the week. But the sensible Crab gets down to serious business by week’s end.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) What goes around comes around for those lucky Leos and Leonas whose acts of generosity could be repaid with opportunities to expand into new and exciting areas of interest.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your concern about your job responsi-bilities is commendable. But you need to take some quiet time to share with someone who has really missed being with you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Aspects favor getting out and meeting new people. And as a bonus, you might fi nd that some of your newly made friends could offer important business contacts.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might take pride in wanting to do everything yourself. But now’s a good time to ask family members to help with a demanding personal situation.

SAGITTARIUS (No-vember 22 to December 21) Pay more attention to the possibilities in that workplace change. It could show the way to make that long-sought turn on your career path.

CAPRICORN (De-cember 22 to January 19) Your need to succeed might overwhelm obligations to your loved ones. Ease up on that workload and into some well-deserved time with family and friends.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love rules for amorous Aquarians who can make good use of their ability to communicate feelings. Don’t be surprised if they’re reciprocated in kind.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Fishing for compliments? No doubt, you probably earned them. But it’s best to let others believe they were the ones who uncovered the treasure you really are.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your good works fl ow from an open, generous heart. Nothing makes you happier than to see others happy as well.

The Perfect Rug for Every Room

We have the Pillow thats Just Right


She’s an alien of ex-traordinary ability and soon you can see her on the big screen in a science fi ction space opera.

Estevan’s Lara Taillon has a role in the upcoming Neil Johnson fi lm, Starship: Rising.

She landed the role after working as a casting consul-tant for the Space Command fi lm franchise, stumbling into a part after being asked to do some screen tests by the director.

Taillon spoke with the Southeast Trader Express from Los Angeles last week, where she has been residing since August.

The experience of work-ing on a science fiction project, something she didn’t have much of an interest in before, has opened her up to a whole other side of fi lmmak-ing and storytelling. It was her fi rst experience acting in front of a digitally fi lled-in green screen.

Taillon found herself chatting with Johnson, who doubles as a producer on the project, and he told her he had some shots to take with a green screen. He asked her to help him out by standing in and she obliged.

“Just some tests shots maybe. I had never worked on a green screen before,” said the actor. “I go and I help him, and he’s like ‘Uh, we gotta put you in this movie.’”

She ended up working for a few days, even acting alongside the director, who has a cameo in the fi lm.

“I’ve never shot sci-fi before. I wasn’t really into sci-fi , so I didn’t know a lot of his leads,” Taillon said, not-ing she wasn’t sure exactly what kind of screen time she would have in the fi lm. “Who knows what’s going to come out in the fi nished product? You never know how much of your scenes are actually

going to be in once the edit comes in and they fi gure where they need to go and what they need to cut.”

Even though Taillon doesn’t know what part her character will play in the fi nal

product, she is very happy to have been given the chance to be involved in the movie.

“It was a pretty wicked experience.”

The movie is looking to open in May, possibly at the Cannes Film Festival.

Taillon had a great time working under Johnson, who she called “serious on set in the best way possible.”

She said she was very comfortable on set, despite it being her fi rst time perform-ing in front a green screen. After casting consulting work, Taillon eventually became the casting director

for the fi lms. “We had an interna-

tional talent search,” she said, noting her job was to go through videos.

After people voted on their top choices, Taillon

made callbacks to actors for auditions.

She continues on with the Space Command series, leading the casting depart-ment. She said the production is incredibly international, and they have looked at close to 7,000 auditions for various roles in the series.

“I just fell into a place for the moment,” she said. “I don’t know where it’s going to take me.”

Taillon is now looking forward to pilot season, and while she hasn’t put a lot of thought into a television career, she is hoping to do

a number of auditions in the coming weeks and months in preparation for the many pilots that shoot in the spring. But even shooting a pilot isn’t a guarantee of a job, however. She pointed out a pilot is simply a pitch to networks.

“You just don’t know, but as long as it keeps me auditioning, I don’t mind,” she said.

She said she is used to having auditioned over the years, and likes that part of her job after working with some coaches who she said have really helped her with those skills.

“I’ve had people put-ting me in the right mind frame and polishing me up for the season,” Taillon said. “That’s what you’re built for. Auditions don’t really freak me out.”

The best-case scenario for her is to hitch up with a show that is shooting some-where in Canada, because she has missed the Great White North since moving to L.A.

Taillon is continuing to pitch her web series Neces-sary Action, which she began producing last year.

“There’s interest in it because it’s a female-driven show. Most are male-driven, but you can see the industry changing in that aspect.”

She said a lot of the feedback she has received is in tightening and tuning the idea.

Taillon is also in the process of getting her work visa in the United States and because of her status as an alien of extraordinary ability in the arts, she was told she needed an online fan page, something that can generate views. She is a little embar-rassed and tentative about promoting the site, but any-one can like her Facebook fan page, and that may help her with her immigration status.

If there are two themes that seem to permeate the federal government’s stance on agriculture, it’s that farmers will face marketing and associated costs increas-ingly on their own, and that consumers might want to become more aware of changes and what they might ultimately mean in terms of Canada’s food security.

Some of the changes are now old news, and were at least wanted by a good number of farmers. Included in the changes was the end of the single-desk selling monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board in terms of western wheat, durum and export-bound barley. The jury is still a long way from bringing down a verdict on whether or not the change will mean more money for farmers over the long term.

Given the high prices for grains at present, it won’t be until the next low price dip when we know how the market works best for farmers.

That said there are likely to be some winners and losers among farmers in terms of their bottom line.

Those sitting in Parliament will go on without impacting their bottom lines regardless of what their decisions mean.

But the CWB is only the tip of a very large iceberg of change for farmers.

The federal government is divesting itself of community pastures previously operated by the Prairie Farm Rehabilita-tion Administration. The provinces may work through on some of the pastures, but in the end, moving forward farmers are going to face more costs if they had cattle in those pastures.

The Canadian Grain Commission has closed its Winnipeg Service Centre, which will push lab testing services to Weyburn, a move that the National Farmers Union has come out suggesting could create delays and backlogging.

The more worrisome aspect of the Winnipeg closure is that it continues a trend where the federal government is

trimming services.One is left to wonder if the federal

government sees itself fi nancing lab test-ing into the future, or whether farmers will have to seek out private services. If that were to occur, the likelihood of higher costs looms for farmers, as well as having less control in terms of export customers and end consumers.

We have seen the government make changes to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and again there is the concern more changes/cuts could be forthcoming. That could also mean greater costs and more consumer concerns.

One might be less worried about where the changes might end if this gov-ernment had not already shown a strong desire to reshape agriculture policy and did so by skirting very close to breaking the rules of Parliament as was the case in changing the CWB.

While there are times that farmers and consumers might seem to be links at the ends of a very long chain, they also have a shared reason to watch what the Conservative government in Ottawa is doing with farm policy.

Columnist’s note: This is not to be mistaken for a New Year’s resolution.

Food and diet is becoming an in-creasingly complicated thing nowadays. It was always complicated, but we just didn’t know how much so until fairly recently and we’ve been doing it wrong for probably thousands of years. We’ll probably continue doing it wrong for another couple of thousand.

Generally, my rule is only good food is good for you and everything else is harmful. Broccoli and spinach are great. Asparagus and bell peppers are regulars on my plate.

I thought that would make my sister, the holistic nutritionist, satisfi ed. Then I told her I don’t eat breakfast and she rolled her eyes, telling me exactly why I was pretty much performing harakiri each morning. After skipping breakfast, it seems like it’s no longer important if I consume a leafy green or a bag of chips and a block of cheese. My blood sugar is swimming with the fi shes either way.

It’s pretty well established that we should all probably be vegan, avoiding meat at all costs. That’s not only because animals aren’t the best sources of the nutrients they provide us, and they do provide some value, but also largely because raising animals is an incred-ibly wasteful practice. It’s incredibly

ineffi cient considering what goes into producing a pound of meat.

There are a lot of diets, and the Canadian one isn’t really all that good for us. There’s the Caveman diet or the Mediterranean diet, along with more catchy ones like the Atkins diet. Still other people just go off carbs or off dairy or off fruit. Then there are the raw foodies who don’t believe in cooking anything just as their eponymous title suggests.

People go off a lot of things and then go on a lot of others. You can go on multivitamins or coffee.

I get more and more interested in the food I consume, but I still have no plans to eat breakfast no matter how many dirty looks my sister, who is safely two provinces away, gives me.

The Canadian Food Guide is also kind of terrible considering how outside interests infl uence it. The Canadian Meat Council got the recommended servings of meat upped when they complained

that Canadians weren’t being told to eat enough.

Popcorn is part of the grain group, as well as non-whole grains, like white bread. I’ll never understand eating white bread. Even white pastas and rice are confusing choices to me now. Our coun-try’s food guide treats all of those the same as their whole-wheat counterparts.

They only suggest making half of the grains whole grains when it’s easy and much better to cut out the refi ned grains completely. People will try to fool you with something called “brown” bread, but it isn’t whole wheat.

The problem, of course, is that we generally eat things that taste good rather than things that are good for us. That doesn’t mean things that are health-ful don’t taste good. I like broccoli. I prefer the taste of whole grains to the overly refi ned white cousin.

The healthier choice doesn’t need to be a negative notch on the fl avour scale.

There are some who argue the food system is to blame. Some say it’s an individual’s choice to eat terrible food, while others say healthy choices should be made as readily available as poor choices.

Eat less or perhaps no meat, more vegetables and drink a glass of olive oil each day. It sounds like a plan.

Slight dietary revisions for 2013 and beyond

Watchful eye needed on gov’t farm policy

Thoughts From My Fingers

HeHe Said

SheHe SheShe Said


I think it’s pretty clear that vowing to lose weight is the most overrated resolution that people make at New Year’s. I’m guilty of this, many times over.

I’ve committed myself to going to the gym fi ve days a week and only eating salads, and at fi rst, it works really well. I choose to be the designated driver for my friends instead of guzzling booze. I choose to add veggies to my wraps and sandwiches, even though I’d rather

not. I run on a treadmill, which is the bane of my existence.And then February rolls around and I’m really craving M&Ms, so I give in. And

then I just keep giving in. And then I’m back where I started, vowing that next year will be my year of amazing weight loss and will power.

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who goes through this. Based on the number of lost-looking women I see at the gym these days, I’m defi nitely not the only one.

I’ve found that deciding to lose weight doesn’t need to happen on Jan. 1 (duh). It happens when you’re ready, when you’re fi nally tired of buying jeans a little looser than you used to, and when you want to improve your life.

For example, when I’m running at the gym, I try not to concentrate on how much I hate running. I like to think about how this 45-minute run from Hell will make my summer soccer games more enjoyable. I honestly suck at soccer, because I’m lazy, and I hate running. But I like to imagine that I’m going to suck less next season.

I also know a girl who visualized herself a size smaller when she had to run into her ex at an upcoming wedding. That’s pretty motivating.

So anyway, my point is that a lifestyle change like weight loss doesn’t need the beginning of a year to start. And people seem to forget this, making it the most overrated, and I’d say most pointless resolution ever. That being said, I’d like all the resolutioners to get out of my gym so I can work out in peace. Thanks. – Jordan Baker

What are the most overrated New Year’s resolutions?

Visit us on the web!!www.estevanmercury.ca

Generally, I’m not a fan of making resolu-tions on Jan. 1 or Dec. 31, depending on when exactly people are supposed to make these sweeping calls for reform.

I did, however, do some reading up on how these New Year’s resolutions have changed over the years. Where before people made resolutions about how they hoped to help their communities or change the world, now everyone’s resolutions surround the idea of

personal betterment. We’re really just becoming bigger narcissists, according to our New Year’s reso-

lutions, which is in line with our need to show off more and more about ourselves online. If we’re going to show everyone how great we are, we better be able to keep up with this great image by actually becoming better. That’s what ringing in the new year with a pledge is for.

It’s the resolutions that evolve around our own self-importance that are the most overrated. There are good reasons to lose weight or stop smoking. We all need to take care of our personal health. But that’s a daily, lifestyle change.

Wouldn’t resolving to be more charitable or to volunteer in the community be a better claim than looking better? Maybe you aren’t particularly wealthy or are in-credibly busy with work and family and your free time is limited. Perhaps you can’t afford to be overly charitable every year, but maybe you’ll save up a little, and in 2013 resolve to give that back to that community. Maybe it’s not something you can do every year, but it’s nice be able to do it sometime.

You can make personal goals on your own time, but when it comes to New Year’s resolutions, I like the idea of fi nding something that will benefi t other people too.

Our growing vanity is certainly enough to turn anyone off making a resolution, even though we can vow to do some good for others not just ourselves.

Maybe it’s that vanity of the New Year’s resolution is what has turned me off the perennial tradition. Maybe the practice could be worth it if we were all interested in helping one another.

It’s the typical resolutions people make that are overrated. If someone makes a selfl ess goal to be a better citizen or community leader, I could get behind that.

A few years ago I wrote about how the Hubble Space Telescope had dis-covered so many galaxies, there were surely enough to name just one after little old me.

So far, no one has e-mailed me the co-ordinates to the Zinchuk galaxy. I’m still waiting.

In the meantime, in recent weeks scientists have been telling us there are also enough planets in our Milky Way galaxy for me and you, and all your friends and family, to have a planet named after each one of us.

Slate.com reported on Jan. 7 that there may be 100 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone, of which 17 billion are thought to be the size of Earth.

The National Post noted, “The scientists de-termined that at least 50 per cent of stars have an Earth-

If I don’t get a galaxy, can I at least have a planet?sized or larger planet in close orbit and that practi-cally all stars have planets.”

Since we’re running at around seven billion people on our planet right now, there are probably enough planets for one to be named after every single person who has ever lived on Earth, going back to the dawn of time. Online computational engine Wolfram Alpha fi gures there have been ap-proximately 106.5 billion people in that time frame, so that seems about right

A few years ago some geniuses thought they would make a buck by selling real estate on the moon. Who cares about a few moon rocks, when you have your own planet, third rock from some other sun?

The question is, when selecting the planet for which you will anoint your name, do you get to be picky? Can you say, “Oh,

I want a small one, fast and close to its star like Mercury?” Or should you be seeking one that makes Jupiter look tiny? These should be reserved for those who drive jacked-up 4x4s with balls hanging from their hitch.

Maybe you could hope for a “Goldilocks” zone planet - one that’s not-to-hot, but not-too-cold, and possibly capable of sustaining liquid water? From what we’ve found on Earth, wherever there’s water, there’s life, so maybe the same will apply to your planet too?

Do you want a blue planet or a red one? A rock or perhaps a gas giant? Maybe one made primarily out of carbon, i.e. diamond? Better yet, tell your wife you got her a diamond that is simply out of this world!

Then one must con-sider location. What neigh-bourhood of the galaxy is appealing? The high-paced galactic core, or the more suburban-like radial arms? Do you like high density or low density?

Some people might take issue with having a black hole nearby. They just suck the life and light

out of any party. And once invited over, they never, ever leave. Those black holes tend to give you an uncomfortable hug and never seem to let go.

With all these interest-ing things to consider, why is it then that the astrono-mers keep coming up with such awful names? For instance, they’re 99.9 per cent sure they’ve found a Jupiter-sized planet or-biting the solar-type star KIC 12735740. They then named it PH2 b. Wired.com noted it is the second confirmed planet to be found by Planethunters.org, therefore it makes sense that PH (Planet Hunters) is in there, but why not just call it “Planet Hunters’ Planet?”

The team leader of Planet Hunters is Michele Beleu of Yale University. Surely she’d like a planet named Michelle. After

all, the Beatles, wrote a love ballad which stated, “Michelle, ma belle, these words that go together well.” If the Beatles can name a song after Michelle, then astronomers can simi-larly name a planet.

If they did, then my wife gets a planet named after her too! See, we all win.

So let’s send those astronomers down to vital statistics and tell them to get hopping. There are a lot of names they can start using, including a whole star cluster of John Smiths.

As for planet Zinchuk, I’d like a rocky one in the Goldilocks zone, please. Maybe some single-celled organisms need naming, too.

Oz BooksQ: I have fi ve books by

L. Frank Baum, author of the “Oz” series. How can I fi nd out how much they are worth and, perhaps, a

buyer? -- Lavonne, Will-mar, Minn.

A: One of the best ways to fi nd current book values is to go to www.abe.com. Type in the title and author, and you will be able to determine how much it is being offered for sale by various dealers throughout the world. Pay

close attention to editions. A fi rst edition is always more valuable than a later printing. Condition also is important. To fi nd a buyer, you might consider listing them on eBay.

I looked up of the titles you listed, a 1919 edition of “The Magic of Oz,” and it is available for $10 by a

bookseller in Tucson, Ariz.***

Q: My dad has a bottle of 7-Up that salutes “The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.” What do you think it is worth? -- Amy, Knox, Ind.

A: I spoke to several soda-pop collectors, and they seem to agree it would be worth about $10. One of

the better reference books is “Soda Pop Collectibles Price Guide” by Allan Pe-tretti. According to Petretti, 7-Up was introduced in St. Louis in 1929 by Charles L. Grigg.

ProvincialREGINA - Cherished

photos are packed away, the dance hall is long silent and the lights are about to be turned off for the last time in the auditorium of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 001 Regina.

By the end of January, the downtown building that has welcomed veterans since 1947 must be empty.

The property has been sold and the entire rear of the building — which houses the Atlantic Auditorium, the Lancaster Lounge and the Dieppe Cafeteria — is to be demolished to make way for a parkade.

Only the facade will remain with room for a museum and a small water-ing hole.

“That sounds terrible and it just rips me right apart to lose the heritage of this in the back,” said branch president Terry Duncan.

“The only heritage part, so to speak, is the front. But to lose the history of the back portion of this build-ing, it just rips me apart. But it’s got to be done if we want to be in existence for the veterans that remain, for those that are coming back and for the families of the veterans.”

Branch 001 was the fi rst branch of the Royal Canadian Legion to receive a charter. The top portion of the building was com-pleted in 1951 and offi cially opened by then-Princess Elizabeth.

NationalOTTAWA - Conten-

tious changes to employ-ment insurance are now in effect.

Beginning Sunday, people on EI face stricter, more complex rules for keeping their benefi ts, with the goal of getting unem-

ployed workers back into the workforce sooner.

To help people get back to work, the government has also launched a new service to provide information on available jobs and labour market conditions to sub-scribers via e-mail.

“The new job alerts system is an important part of our government’s plan to better connect Canadians with available jobs in their area,” said Human Resourc-es Minister Diane Finley in a statement Sunday.

The changes to the EI program were fi rst spelled out in May and elaborate on what the government defi nes as searching for a suitable job.

A suitable search for a job must now include pre-paring resumes, registering for job banks, attending job fairs, applying for jobs and undergoing competency evaluations.

A suitable job is de-fi ned by factors including commuting time, whether the hours are compatible with the claimant’s life and wages.

It will also take into account personal circum-stances, such as health, physical capability to per-form work, family obliga-tions and transportation options.

***OTTAWA - The navy’s

long-delayed, much-stud-ied joint support ship pro-gram is expected to come under the political micro-scope within weeks in what is likely another defence equipment embarrassment for the Harper government.

The parliamentary budget officer has been examining the program and is poised to release his fi ndings once MPs return from their Christmas break.

Kevin Page’s incendi-ary analysis of the F-35 fi ghter jet program sparked a raging political fi re which continues to burn.

Now, documents ob-tained by The Canadian Press under access to infor-mation laws offer a glimpse of a troubled ship program set to deliver less capable vessels than originally envisioned.

The joint ship brief-ings, given throughout 2011 to both Defence Minister Peter MacKay and former associate defence minister Julian Fantino, represent the fi rst unambiguous look at what capabilities the navy was forced to give up.

the navy’s nearly 45-year-old supply ships with three new vessels was originally announced by Paul Martin’s Liberals in 2004, but em-braced by Stephen Harper’s Conservatives when they assumed power two years later.

At the time, the govern-ment estimated it would cost $2.9 billion.

InternationalMEXICO CITY - An-

tonio Vazquez is a cherubic 72-year-old with twinkling eyes, a long white beard and a knack for predicting things that don’t actually happen.

For more than three decades, Mexico’s self-pro-claimed “Grand Warlock” has been doing tarot card and horoscope readings to reveal what’s in store for the coming year. Among past predictions: Fidel Castro would die in 2008. Germany would win the 2006 World Cup. Barack Obama would lose to Mitt Romney.

Despite Vazquez’s con-sistently incorrect record of prognostication, dozens of journalists swarmed Mexico City’s press club on Friday for the Grand Warlock’s latest round of predictions in what has be-come one of this country’s most reliably strange and inexplicably popular New Year’s traditions.

On tap for 2013, ac-cording to the Grand War-lock: a new war in the Middle East, chaos in Venezuela and a tough year for Obama.

But it’s not all bad news. Vazquez said 2013

will be a great year for Mexico, a country that has struggled with drug vio-lence and a slow economy.

“Mexico is going to have a relevant place in the world, economically speak-ing,” he said. “Mexico will place itself as a paradise for investors.”

The thick-browed war-lock also said there will be a lot less people killed this year in Mexico. According to some statements by the current Mexican admin-istration, at least 70,000 people were slain between 2006 and 2012 as the gov-ernment of then President Felipe Calderon battled drug traffi ckers.

***NEWTON, Mass. -

Massachusetts police re-sponding to reports of teenagers tossing eggs at a house last month got quite a surprise when they tracked down the suspects.

A department spokes-man tells The MetroWest Daily News (http://bit.ly/VHWaXJ ) the three people who egged the house in Framingham early Dec. 11 were fellow law enforce-ment offi cers serving with the Newton police. They were off duty at the time.

They told Framingham police the egging incident was “a prank, a joke be-tween friends.”

The homeowner is a Newton police sergeant and their superior offi cer. He says is handling the matter internally.

No charges were fi led, and the Newton offi cers were not publicly identifi ed.

The Big Six Hockey League entered the second leg of its season with post-Christmas games beginning on Jan. 4.

A number of teams are battling for position in the standings as the playoff picture begins to take shape. With just one month of the regular season remaining, the Midale Mustangs and Bienfait Coalers sit atop the standings with nine wins apiece, though the Coalers have three games in hand.

The Wawota Flyers are stak-ing out third place, followed by a tight battle for fourth place between Carnduff, Redvers and Arcola-Kisbey.

The lone game on Jan. 4 saw the Flyers beat the Arcola-Kisbey Combines 5-2 in the fi rst match after the holiday break. The second half of a home-and-home series between those teams saw them in Wawota the very next night, when the Flyers squeaked out a 6-4 victory.

The Mustangs got off

to a strong second half to their season, as they toppled the Oxbow Huskies 5-2 at home, before hosting the Carnduff Red Devils Jan. 6 and dominating the fourth-place team 10-2.

On Jan. 5, the Red Devils hosted the Carlyle Cougars and won a tight-game 6-5.

The results of a game be-tween the Combines and the Mustangs from Wednesday evening were not available as of press time.

The Coalers will begin their second half of the season Friday night when they host the Redvers Rockets.

Jackson Walliser will look to stay atop the league’s top goalies as he leads Mi-dale’s Tanner Erickson with a 2.50 goals-against average.

Brennan Wrigley will continue to battle Coaler teammate Lorne Tytslands-vik for the Big Six scoring title. Wrigley has 16 goals and 30 points, while Tytslandsvik has 12 goals and 24 points.

Other games on Friday include a matchup between the Huskies and Cougars in Carlyle and the Red Devils and Combines in Arcola.

The Coalers will host on the Red Devils on Saturday

night, while Oxbow will head to Carlyle and Carnduff will play in Arcola.

On Sunday, Carnduff

goes to Bienfait, Arcola heads to Redvers, Midale welcomes Wawota and Ox-bow hosts Carlyle.

Playoff races heat up after break

Carlyle Cougars goaltender Tyler Fehrenbach positions himself for a shot as teammate Ty Currie stakes out position in front of the goal, and Bienfait Coaler Lorne Tytslandsvik tries to fi nd open ice at the side of the net during Big Six Hockey League action this season. The Bienfait Coalers play two games this weekend against the Redvers Rockets and Carnduff Red Devils.

January is playoff month in the National Football League and while most fans can’t get enough of the storylines involving quarterback stars Pey-ton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Robert Griffi n III, Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, success or failure may actually rest on the strong legs and tight ball-handling grips of run-ning backs.

Here’s an astonishing “did you know” - since the Super Bowl era began in the late 1960s, NFL playoff teams that have fashioned a 100-yard rusher have won more than 80 per cent of their games. On the other hand, teams with a 300-yard passing quarterback have lost more than they’ve won (57-66).

So while you may read pre-game stories saying the Seahawks need Wilson to have a great passing day, or the Texans need Matt Schaub to be on target with his passing, it might be more accurate to say that Seattle’s success rests with running back Marshawn Lynch and the Texans need a big game out of Arian Foster.

But here’s the rub. The offences of the Broncos, Packers and Patriots rely almost entirely on the strong, accurate arms of Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Brady, respectively, for success. While some teams need to “establish the run”

in order to keep the oppo-nent’s defence honest when it comes to the pass, teams playing Manning, Rodgers and Brady know what’s coming: Aerial action.

It could be interest-ing to watch this month to see if those long-time trends about the 100-yard rusher versus the 300-yard passer hold up. Minnesota Vikings, for instance, have the best runner of them all, Adrian Peterson. Washing-ton Redskins have rookie running back Alfred Morris. The Seahawks have Lynch. The Baltimore Ravens have Ray Rice to carry the ball. Houston has Foster, and Frank Gore is the 49ers leading rusher. All are among the league’s top 10 yard-gainers.

At the other end of the rushing spectrum, Steven Ridley led New England with only four 100-yard games; Willis McGahee of Denver led the Broncos with only three century games; and the Packers didn’t have a single 100-yard rushing game, banking on Rodgers’ arm to post an 11-5 record. None of those three Super Bowl contend-ers had a back that fi nished among the top 20 rushers in the NFL.

So if the teams led by those big-name quarter-backs - Manning, Brady and Rodgers - go by the wayside before the big game on Feb. 3, don’t be surprised, be-

cause statistically, rushers rule in the playoffs.

If they do make it to the Super Bowl, however, be reminded of this ancient sports axiom: Statistics are for losers.

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha World-Herald: “The Lakers’ Dwight How-ard was ejected from a game against the Nuggets for a fl agrant foul. Howard was nearly ejected again the next night for throwing the ball at the ref, but then the coach explained that was a Howard free-throw attempt.”

• Dickson again: A British tabloid is suing Lance Armstrong. If Arm-strong loses, it’ll be a new

low - he will have been deemed less credible than a British tabloid.”

• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “The (N.Y.) Jets are des-perate (for a quarterback). They gave Mark Sanchez a big contract extension last season, then traded for Tim Tebow, hoping he would light a fi re under Sanchez’s rear end. It didn’t work. If you seek to inspire the San Francisco Philharmonic to a higher level, you don’t try to scare ‘em by bringing in a hot kazoo player.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Twin sisters Lucy and Kelly Knott, 24, of Stockport, England, are teaching assistants by day

and pro rasslers by night. Classroom discipline prob-ably isn’t a problem.”

• Comedy writer Alan Ray, on top-ranked Notre Dame’s stubborn defence: “They slow more drives than two seniors in a Prius.”

• NFL referee Ed Ho-chuli, to Sports Illustrated, when asked if he watched any games during the of-fi cials’ lockout: “I don’t watch a lot of football for fun. I’ve tried, but I’m al-ways looking to see if the left tackle is holding.”

• Headline at Sport-sPickle.com: “Rex Ryan names Tim Tebow off-sea-son starter at quarterback.”

• R.J. Currie of sports-deke.ca: “Canadian bob-sledder Kallie Humphries has won a record eight straight races dating back to last season. She’s becom-ing a bigger name in going downhill than Lindsay Lohan.”

• Currie again: “It’s the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones and the last

regular season the Toronto Maple Leafs fi nished fi rst overall. The difference? Since then the Stones have gotten lots of satisfaction while Leafs fans have gone way past their 19th nervous breakdown.”

• New Colorado foot-ball coach Mike MacIntyre, pointing to his wife, Trisha, during his introductory news conference: “Looking at her, you can defi nitely tell I can recruit.”

• Norman Chad, syn-dicated columnist: “To be perfectly honest, I prefer the NHL in cancelled seasons. Actually, Gary Bettman might be onto something here. Imagine if Honda or Nissan followed the NHL’s business practice, and, ev-ery several years, just didn’t produce a new line of cars. Wouldn’t Honda lovers be aching for the new Hondas the following year? Cha-ching!!!”

Red meat often has a bad reputation in the world of nutrition and health. Some people have elimi-nated red meat from their diet. Like most foods, lean cuts of beef are a healthy addition to your diet and, in moderation, a good source of protein.

An appropriate portion size is a 3-ounce piece of lean meat, which is about the size of a deck of cards. A lean cut of beef is an excel-lent source of protein, zinc, vitamin B-12, selenium and phosphorus. Even with these benefi ts, it is impor-tant to select lean cuts that are redder in color, without a lot of marbling. The lean-est cuts will have “loin” or “round” in the name.

A 3-ounce serving of lean beef provides at least 20 percent of the Daily Value for these nutrients per serving. A 3-ounce serving of beef also is a good source of niacin, vitamin B-6, iron and riboflavin -- which means it supplies 10 percent to 19 percent of the Daily Value for these nutrients per serving.

All of these nutrients play a vital role in the body. Protein helps build bones, muscles, cartilage and skin. It’s also a component of blood, enzymes, hormones and vitamins, and it gives the body energy. Zinc boosts the immune system and promotes wound heal-ing. Phosphorus is required for the formation of healthy teeth and bones. Iron carries oxygen in the blood to the cells and muscles, helping to inhibit fatigue, as well prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Vitamin B-12, niacin, vitamin B-6 and ribofl avin all aid the body in the release of energy, help the nervous system function properly and assist with the synthesis of red blood cells and tissues.

When using ground beef in a recipe, it should be at least 90 percent lean. Make beef cuts even healthier by removing any excess fat, and prepare it using cooking methods like baking, grilling or broiling. Be sure to include a variety of protein foods in your diet in addition to beef, like fi sh, poultry and nuts. As with all foods, remember to eat beef in moderation.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: I am 17 years old. I have pimples all over my face. The only thing that helped was an antibiotic, but it made me sensitive to sunlight. My parents don’t want me to continue to use an antibiotic. Can you help? -- G.G.

ANSWER: Let’s start with a couple of mistakes made by most people with acne. Don’t scrub your face

or any place where acne has broken out. Scrubbing causes irritation and worsens acne. Use a mild soap like Dove when washing. Don’t squeeze pimples, whiteheads or blackheads. You force bacteria into adjacent skin.

Acne develops because of clogged pores through which hairs grow and through which sebaceous (oil) glands empty their oil onto the skin. The fi rst signs of trouble are whiteheads or blackheads. They indicate that the pore is plugged. Deep in the pore, down from the blockage, the oil glands continue to secrete oil and greatly distend the pore, which can rupture. Bacteria thrive on the oil. At this point, a pimple is born. Acne

control involves unplugging the pore, eliminating the bac-teria and putting the brakes on oil production. The oil production is in high gear because of the increase of male hormones at this time in life.

Benzoyl peroxide un-plugs pores. Brand names include Clearasil and Acne-Clear, both available without prescription, as are many other brands.

From this point on, ef-fective medicines require a prescription. The fi rst choice is retinoids -- Renova cream and Retin-A. They’re often used on alternating days with benzoyl peroxide. The next step up is antibiotics. In creams and lotions, they aren’t absorbed very much.

Clindamycin and erythro-mycin are two such products. If no progress comes from skin-applied antibiotics, then oral antibiotics are the next step. Tetracycline, doxycy-cline and minocycline are ex-amples. Your parents should reconsider their ban on their use. Even if they sensitize you to sunlight, simply stay out of sunlight when using them. They worked for you.

I haven’t listed all acne medicines. Bad acne, like yours, calls for treatment by the family doctor or a dermatologist.

***DEAR DR. DONO-

HUE: I am writing on behalf of several neighbors who have started soaking golden raisins in gin. Each of them

takes nine such raisins a day. They claim this was a method shown on television to remedy arthritis. Have you ever heard of this? Our curiosity is getting the best of us. -- E.G.

ANSWER: I have heard this many times. No one has proven it works. No reli-able information suggests it might work. I don’t believe it’s a legitimate arthritis treatment.

However, if you like gin and like raisins, then the practice is OK, so long as you don’t go overboard on taking in too much alcohol.

The booklet on arthri-tis describes the different kinds of arthritis and their treatments. Readers can

obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 301W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./ $6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

***Dr. Donohue regrets

that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

NationalThe clock is already

ticking for NHL players preparing to return to the ice.

With the end to the lock-out pending, there will only be time for a brief training camp before a compressed schedule of 48 or 50 games.

The next few weeks will quickly show whether players who haven’t played a competitive game since last spring are ready for the rigours of a regular season.

“I don’t think it’ll be too tough,” said Montreal Canadiens forward Travis Moen. “Guys are profession-als, so you should have been keeping yourself in decent shape all this time.

“We’ll have some time to skate before, and then you make the best of it.”

The NHL and the play-ers reached a tentative agree-ment early Sunday morning but no details on how many games each team would play or when the season would begin were released.

There may be a wide disparity in game-readiness when the season does fi nally get underway.

About 200 players got game action skating for European clubs during the lockout, and most teams sent

a few of their younger play-ers to the American Hockey League.

***UFA, Russia - The 2014

world junior hockey cham-pionship will be in Malmo, Sweden, but Hockey Canada is already preparing for the tournament’s return to Canada.

It comes back to Canada in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021. It’s part of a deal Hockey Canada worked out with the International Ice Hockey Federation and approved at the IIHF’s con-gress in 2009.

Canada settled for a fourth-place fi nish at this year’s tournament in Ufa, Russia. The United States won gold, Sweden took the silver and the host team won bronze.

The process for choos-ing the 2015, and possibly 2017, host cities will get underway early this year, according to Hockey Canada chief operating offi cer Scott Smith.

The governing body of hockey in Canada has invited people to register for the chance to buy tickets for 2015 and 2017, even though the host cities have yet to be chosen.

“They’ll get the fi rst chance to go into whatever system we decide,” Smith said. “If we say we’re going to go to a lottery and what-ever lottery that is, they’ll get the fi rst chance to be registered for that.”

***MELBOURNE, Aus-

tralia - Coming off the best season of his career, Milos Raonic isn’t messing with the routines that helped launch him into the ATP’s top 20.

As he gears up for next week’s Australian Open, the hard-hitting native of Thornhill, Ont., will be din-ing on steak at his favourite Melbourne restaurant.

It’s become a habit for the 22-year-old since he fi rst made the main draw in Melbourne in 2011.

Before taking the court, the 13th-ranked Raonic scarfs down a steak at the same restaurant in his Crown Casino hotel.

“I prepare in the same way with the same supersti-tions,” Raonic said Tuesday prior to the start of the Kooyong Classic tune-up event. “It doesn’t matter who I play, I’ll eat a steak before a match at the same place. I’ve probably had 20

of them there.”Raonic will open play

at Kooyong on Wednesday against local favourite Lley-ton Hewitt. He’s appearing in the eight-man tournament for the second straight year but is coming off a disap-pointing start to his season, losing in the fi rst round at Brisbane last week.

InternationalCHICAGO - Arena

Football League player and former Toronto Argonauts receiver Chandler Williams has died. He was 27.

The AFL said Sunday that Williams died while playing in a local fl ag foot-ball tournament in South Florida. The league did not release a cause of death.

The wide receiver was a seventh-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2007 out of Florida In-ternational. He got into NFL pre-season games in four seasons but never played in a regular-season game, also spending time with the Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs.

Williams had a brief stint with the Argonauts this past season.

In seven games, he

caught four passes for 88 yards and added eight kick-off returns for 223 yards. Williams was released Oct. 4.

The CFL team issued a statement Sunday morning.

“The Toronto Argo-nauts Football Club would like send its deepest sympa-thies to the family and loved ones of former receiver Chandler Williams. He is re-membered as a very positive young man who was well liked in the locker room. The entire organization is sad-dened to learn of his sudden passing,” the statement said.

Williams caught 83 passes for 996 yards and 17 touchdowns while lead-ing the AFL with a 23-yard kickoff return average for the Tampa Bay Storm last season.

***MIAMI GARDENS,

Fla. - The championship was locked up by halftime. By the time the confetti landed, Alabama was already look-ing ahead to the next one.

That’s the way it is for the latest dynasty in Tus-caloosa.

Win a title. Move on.Quieting the Irish on the

very fi rst drive, Eddie Lacy, AJ McCarron and the No.

2 Crimson Tide rolled top-ranked Notre Dame 42-14 for the BCS championship Monday night, locking up a second straight national title and third in four years with another laugher of a title game.

The Bear would’ve been especially proud of this one — Nick Saban and the Tide romping to the second-biggest rout of the BCS era that began in 1999.

Now, back to work.“The process is ongo-

ing,” said Saban, still tight-lipped as ever and showing little emotion after the fourth national title of his coach-ing career. “We’re going to enjoy it for 24 hours or so.”

The Crimson Tide (13-1) wrapped up its ninth Associated Press national title, breaking a tie with Notre Dame for the most by any school and gaining a measure of redemption for a bitter loss to the Irish almost four decades ago: the epic 1973 Sugar Bowl in which Ara Parseghian’s team edged Bear Bryant’s powerhouse 24-23.

Bryant won five AP titles during his brilliant career. The way things are going, Saban might just chase him down.
