Cheers to the two gentlemen who stopped in the middle of a busy street after witnessing an elderly man slip and fall on the ice right in the middle of traffi c, get out of the vehicle and help him up and walk him over a bank of snow and make sure he got out of harm’s way safely. We need more people like that in this world, great job guys!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Now that you’ve resolved all doubts about an important decision, you can surprise a lot of people by defending your stand with your strong and well-reasoned arguments.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The holiday mood stirs your need to nurture everyone from the family cat to great-grandma. But don’t overdo it, especially with teens, who like to feel grown up.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Enjoy basking in the warm love of family and close friends. But don’t fall into a prolonged catnap yet. There’s still much to do before you can put up your paws and relax.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid push-ing others to work as hard as you do on a common project. Instead, encourage them to do their best, and they might well reward you with a pleasant surprise.

The inauguration of a Junior Quota Club at Este-van’s Hillcrest School was a fi rst for Canada.

Valerie Hall, Quota International District 11 governor, was on hand at the school on Nov. 13, formally anointing the group of 12 students as Junior Quota members.

“You girls all know you’re making history today, don’t you?” asked Hall, with the group of girls gathered around her in the school’s library. “You’ll be the fi rst JQs in Canada involved in the club.”

The girls make up the Hillcrest JQ club, and after each student was given their blue T-shirt, elections were held for the positions of president, first vice-president, secretary and treasurer.

All of the students were eager to take lead-ership roles in the club, with four stepping for-ward to be candidates for president and three for vice. The group quickly elected Nelly Fast as the

club’s fi rst president. Hall handed her Robert’s Rules of Order after the election. Brooke Wilson will be the fi rst vice-president, taking over as president next year, while Tyrae North will be the club’s secretary and Madison Carlson will take on the role of treasurer.

The Quota Club has been planning to start the junior clubs at schools since April, Hall said the local group is thrilled that students are so eager to get involved in the service club.

The fi rst initiative Hall hopes the students get involved with is the cup-boards that the Quota club donates to schools around the city. Food is then do-nated for the cupboards so no students in Estevan go without a lunch.

“When we started up, our Quota cupboards in all the schools here, we fi gured it would be a wonderful start for communication and getting to know our young people here in the city,” said Hall.

The students appeared

very excited about the pos-sibilities before them as they founded the new club during a brief ceremony earlier this week.

“ T h i s w a s t h e i r choice,” noted Hall. “When I spoke, I spoke to all the school. These (students) are the ones that were excited and wanted to be part of the beginning of a new club. Helping their school and their community is what they’re fired up about. They’re excited to start doing things. They’re our future. They’re our legacy, and we want them to know that we’re proud of them for stepping up.

“This is something that’s going to lead to greater things, so they know that they can choose their projects and make that impact. We’ve asked them to communicate with us. They are going to follow our model, learning it and feeling proud to be part of that.”

Hall said the students will decide on the projects they support so they can

do something that they will feel good about.

The club will meet on the fi rst Monday of each month after school and will be guided by members of the local Quota Club as well as teachers from the school.

“For the fi rst year, I’m sure there will be Quota members at every meeting to help guide them in the leadership that they want to play in the community,” added Hall.

She invited the new club members to get in-volved with the Santa Claus parade on Dec. 1, encourag-ing them to decorate their own fl oat and help out by serving hot chocolate.

“They can come to our conferences and our conventions. They will be our inspiration as Quota International of Canada is looking for this new impact. It is the Quota spirit that they’re going to have,” said Hall.

Hall noted that other elementary schools in Este-van will be forming Quota Clubs shortly.

Local junior Quota club fi rst in Canada

The new Hillcrest School Junior Quota Club was formally recognized as the fi rst junior club in Canada on Nov. 13. The group of girls elected an executive and will begin meetings on the fi rst Monday in December.

Paul Martin is pretty well-known as a business spokesman, which made him an interesting keynote speaker at the recent Canola Day that was part of the Grain Mill-ers Harvest Showdown in Yorkton.

“Agriculture: Saskatchewan’s economic catalyst is back” was the general thrust of his presentation, although that message did seem to get buried by a look back at the Sas-katchewan Chamber of Commerce’s effort to take a long look at where our province was going as the new millennium arrived in 2000.

The chamber effort, Action Saskatch-ewan, really became an effort to “up our attitude” as a popular slogan of the day.

There is no denying Saskatchewan suf-fered from a long history of seeming inferior, in large part the result of being next door to oil-rich Alberta, a sales-tax-free zone, which skimmed off our best and brightest young people like a farmer skimming cream from milk.

And the chamber effort did get us feel-ing better about ourselves, or more precisely, made us ready to accept the success that was about to fl ow over our province regardless of local attitudes.

We may not have had the highest expec-tations for most of the 100 years marked by a provincial centenary in 2005, but it had nothing to do with attitude that oil compa-nies suddenly gazed east and moved drilling rigs to the province.

The demand to seek out new reserve opportunities meant Saskatchewan explora-tion made sense given the coverage rigs had already given Alberta.

Mix demand with tax and regulation tweaks, some started by the last New Demo-crat government, and others pushed forward with the Saskatchewan Party taking power, and it made it the province’s time to take a lead in oil and gas exploration.

Transition to the potash sector. It was a mature segment of mining with most Sas-katchewan mines dating back decades and still remaining productive.

But world trends in population meant an expected growth curve in potash demand for fertilizer to feed more people.

While there have been hiccups along the way, as the Saskatchewan Party can at-test as a couple of recent budgets have been bashed by lower expected potash revenues than anticipated, the long-term prognosis for potash remains good.

So again there was a need for explora-tion of new veins, and an expansion of exist-ing facilities to meet that long-term growth.

With a fair chunk of Saskatchewan sit-ting over potash reserves, it was obvious most of the investment in exploration and expansion would occur here, to the tune of billions of dollars since 2000.

And now it is agriculture’s turn.When canola hits $14 a bushel off the

combine, and other grains and oilseeds are all at or near historic highs, it’s hard not to envision agriculture returning to a place of greater prominence in terms of the Saskatch-ewan economy. Even this year where a wet spring and untimely heat cut into yields for many producers, the overall bottom line is going to be better than average for most.

Certainly when agriculture is rolling, it is great for the economy since farmers buy new tractors, trucks, more fertilizer and other associated products in local towns and cities. Farm dollars roll through an economy passing through many hands in a hurry.

Jean-Philippe Gervais, chief agricul-tural economist with Farm Credit Canada who also spoke at the Canola Day, did note a few clouds on the horizon, which might impact farming including the dismal shape of the United States’ economy and the need for the U.S. to offer up a workable plan to right their ship.

The situation in many Western European countries is even worse.

Such hamstrung economies could put the skids on worldwide economic activity.

But long term, the middle class of China, South Korea, India and other countries in the Pacifi c Rim hold out hope that we can be optimistic in Saskatchewan about our future, because as Martin suggested, they need the three “Fs” - food, fertilizer and fuel. Those are resources we do have in abundance in this province and that will be our strength, making for a diversifi ed economy less reliant on agriculture than we were a decade or two ago, and stronger because farming is now one aspect of a triad of economic drivers.

The three Fs drive Saskatchewan economy

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

If you know what happened in that open-ing sentence then good on you because I have trouble following it after the sixth buffalo. Gather round everyone, it’s time to talk about grammar.

Journalists know a little something about constrained writing — well, Norm Park isn’t very familiar with constraint — but that doesn’t mean we are allowed to produce something as head scratching as the buffalo line. It explains how buffalo from Buffalo who are buffaloed by other buffalo from Buf-falo also buffalo buffalo from Buffalo. Did that clear everything up? It’s a little cyclical.

The buffalo sentence is incredibly con-stricted by rules, even though it appears to be completely anarchic.

Another very simple sentence that could be used along the same lines could be, “Police police police.”

The topic of the grammatically correct buffalo sentence came up while talking to a friend who pointed out there is a Mandarin poem, originally written in classical Chinese, in which every sound is shi. It’s called Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den. It’s 92 char-acters long (which for us would mean about 92 words long) and that’s a whole lot of shi.

It just goes to show how the Chinese beat us at every game we try to play.

Grammar was always kind of fun in a weird way. I remembering it being incred-ibly tedious when we covered it in Grade 9 English class, but when I enrolled in a journalism program at college, we had to take more grammar. Here we were, a group of adults planning on writing for a living, learning about nouns. We started from the very beginning.

We moved fast, and our professor, the only one we had who forbid us from calling her by her fi rst name, had some fun with it.

I liked the rules that appeared to have no rhyme or reason. When listing a group of adjectives before a subject, it’s tall, blonde Swedish man and it just is because it is. There’s no rule to follow there. It just is whatever sounds right and Swedish, blonde, tall man does not sound right.

The important difference between an “adult-movie theatre,” and an “adult movie theatre” is another one she loved to spout off.

She never called up a student that I’m aware of, but she would threaten to call and ask, “Is that you?”

If we answered with a gruff, “Ya, s’me,” instead of a melodic, “’Tis I,” she might have lost her mind.

In Canadian journalism, we don’t use the Oxford comma, which is the comma used before a conjunction and the fi nal item in a list. While we don’t use it, there are instances in which it would still make sense to.

An example I’ve seen is, “To my parents, Ayn Rand, and God,” something Paul Ryan would probably say.

When changed to “To my parents, Ayn Rand and God,” it could be confused that Ayn Rand and God are in fact, the parents. I haven’t written that sentence while working at a newspaper yet, but if it ever comes up, I hope we can avoid any confusion from the readers. I’ve never been much for dedicating things, but there are many other examples that could lead to raised eyebrows.

If anybody can come up with some more sentences in which one word is used multiple times, I’d love to hear them. Please send them to [email protected]

Two important topics this week:

Mindless relaxationIt’s getting stressful

with school. Major projects are coming up all at the same time and everyone in my class is slowly turn-ing to booze, panic attacks and illegal drug use (don’t worry, Dad, not my thing). I’m back to my usual stress habits: Cleaning, baking and eating chocolate chips out of the bag. I’ve also discovered a few new tricks to calm my mind.

1) Read mindless ce-lebrity gossip. When my brain is in a haze, I turn to Perez Hilton and his world of celebrity garbage. Noth-ing I learn on this blog has a positive impact on my life, nor does it improve the world around me as a whole. The material is also something

I can’t really discuss with anyone I see on a regular basis, since my classmates tend to be way cooler than I am and don’t waste their time reading gossip. But it’s so calming. I mean, I may have an eight-minute video to fi lm this week and an in-vestigative story to fi nish by Thursday, but Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber broke up and Kristen Stewart wore a see-through dress to the premier of Breaking Dawn: Part 2. Clearly I’m not the

only one struggling to get through each day.

2) Pinterest now has secret boards. That’s right, kids, now you can post the million cat memes you love without your friends or fol-lowers knowing it! That’s a whole new, fun level of crazy that I’m excited to dig my way into. Not that I’m pin-ning anything too crazy ... like wedding stuff. Not that you’ll ever know ... because the boards are secret.

Roommate number fi ve

I’m looking for my fi fth and fi nal roommate. I know, you’re probably thinking, “Tonaya, why do you keep needing roommates? Are you really so diffi cult to live with?” And to that I say, no, I’m generally pretty agreeable. I wash the dishes. I like to bake. I don’t like toothpaste spots on the bath-room faucet. And I’m passive aggressive, so you’d never know I was angry with you unless you checked social media.

Anyways the current roommate is leaving to study in Europe next semester, which sounds cool to me, but leaves me with a room to fi ll and half the rent to cover. Unfortunately, she’s not planning on leaving until February, and I plan on graduating in April, which really leaves me stuck fi nd-

ing someone to move in for just three months. So if you’re interested, you should get hold of me. (I acknowl-edge that I may have Taylor Swift syndrome – blind refusal to accept that I may be the problem.)

The ultimate solu-tion would be for Chelsea Kawecki to just move back in. Chelsea also eats choco-late chips out of the bag, fol-lows celebrity gossip, reads stupid novels and appreciates all forms of Ryan Gosling. Chelsea, I miss you. Please come back.

Tonaya Marr can be reached by e-mail at [email protected] or on Twitter @TonayaMarr. She might not reply quickly because she’s swamped in homework and is super for-getful. But she loves hearing from you!

Grade 9 students at the Estevan Comprehensive School were absent from the classroom on Nov. 7 while they took part in Take Our Kids to Work Day.

Last Wednesday, Jack Tuttle spent the day as his dad’s shadow. The Grade 9 student is the son of Ward Tuttle, an investment adviser at RBC Dominion Securities.

He ran his son Jack through his typical morn-ing, preparing for clients. But because of the confi -dentiality of client infor-mation, Jack wasn’t able to see all aspects of the job.

“I think he’s seeing a pretty good example of what a normal day in our offi ce is like,” said Ward.

Jack knew what his father did, but the day has helped him grasp the fi ner points of how his dad spends his weekdays.

“I knew a bit about it, but it was really confusing, really complex. I know so much more about it (now),” said Jack.

Moira Grayson, a teacher at ECS who over-saw the day ensuring each student had their place-ment, noted the majority of Grade 9 students have long participated in a workday with a parent or

other guardian. The day at the workplace is part of the school’s career educa-tion course that all Grade 9 students are enrolled in.

The students probably receive more life experi-ence and potential career planning than work experi-ence, said Grayson.

“It’s to give them an idea of what a real work-day is like. If they go with their parents, they often get a bit of an eye-opener as to what their parent’s

day is like and how hard they work. Quite often kids don’t really know what their parents do. It gives them an opportunity to meet different people and fi nd out what kind of education they have, what kind of skills they use that they might have learned in school.”

“I think it’s kind of neat to be able to show him what my job involves, and the certainly the more enjoyable things I get to do

with my business, which is the client contact,” added Ward. “I don’t know if I can say he’ll want to pursue the same career path. That’s the nice thing about bringing your child to (work), is that they get to see what the workforce is like no matter what their parents may do. I think it’s a great opportunity.”

“I think it would be a lot of fun to work here,” Jack added.

Grayson noted that

some students do end up pursuing the occupation that they interned at for a day.

“It really piqued their interest, I guess,” she said.

Tuttle deals with third-party investment fi rms, and Jack was able to sit in on a meeting because there was no client information. Jack was able to talk with some-one at the other company as well.

“We had a chance to visit with him, and he

talked a little bit to Jack about what his job is and what he does, so it was a good opportunity to see another layer of the busi-ness that I do,” noted Ward.

Jack ditched the blue jeans for some very offi ce-friendly attire, complete with a dress shirt and a smooth, grey jacket.

“I was pretty im-pressed,” said his dad. “I didn’t know what to expect for that, but he’s done well so far.”

The students do com-plete a small assignment afterward that they submit to Grayson, and many other teachers will have some discussion about the day as well.

She said they hope it can be an informative but fun day for both the students and their parents.

“That’s the intention. For some of them, they get a taste of what a full day is really like. That kind of surprises them. They’re tired at the end of the day.”

She added the schools are very appreciative of the parents and businesses who take the students in for the day.

“It is an interruption to the regular work schedule, but it’s important for the kids.

Students spend a day at work

Jack Tuttle spent the day shadowing his dad Ward at RBC Dominion Securities. Jack is a Grade 9 student at the Estevan Comprehensive School and spent Nov. 7 at his father’s offi ce as part of the national Take Our Kids to Work Day.

The Alberta premier was disappointed to learn that the ceremonies are optional for students, but in a strange way they fought to ensure everyone could refuse to celebrate their sacrifi ce.

Schools here are closed for Nov. 11, but where I grew up, we received no such holiday. So each year, the elementary school I attended gathered up

the students, and we walked to the centre of town, gathering around the cenotaph to take part in the service. In high school, an assembly was held and the service was done there.

There wasn’t really much getting out of it, even though it was an obligation and as the punk kid I was, I despised obligations.

The Nov. 11 ceremonies are not mandatory for anybody else, so while I think they are important, students should be going only if they choose. I would have made the choice every year because it would be an hour outside and away from Grade 5 math class.

Students can be respectful and participate in Remembrance Day without attending a wreath-fi lled service with a half-hearted rendition of God Save the Queen.

I may think Remembrance Day is important, but I defi nitely will not be attending another service if I am not covering it and again be obligated to be there.

You don’t teach someone to appreciate something by shoving it down their throat. Stu-dents should learn to respect veterans of our Armed Forces by learning about the sacrifi ces they make for us.

For those who do, there are more ways to recognize the day than to attend a ceremony. A simple moment of self-refl ection is certainly suffi cient, even it would be invisible to everyone else. – Jordan Baker

I knew kids in high school who delighted in skipping every assembly or ceremony they could. In the spirit of honesty, I was one of those students – when it came to talent shows, because they were largely pretty lame (sorry SRC). But Remembrance Day is an exception, because even if it means you need to stand on third balcony for an hour, it’s important that students attend.

I don’t think it matters if students support wars. Remembrance Day isn’t about supporting war and confl ict. It’s a day dedicated to honouring the people who have served our country in the name of Canadians and of freedom. Certainly all wars don’t guarantee freedom, and for some wars, freedom isn’t even threatened. But brave men and women risked and/or lost their lives fi ghting.

I acknowledge that some soldiers are not saints. Canadians have committed crimes and done horrible things in the name of war. But I like to believe that the majority of Canadian soldiers fi ght with the greater good in mind, and genuinely want to do something good for our country.

So no, students should not be allowed to skip Remembrance Day ceremonies, and those who try to sneak off campus should be punished. In many cases, we owe our freedom to soldiers who gave their lives. I know a man who lost his arm fi ghting for Canada in the Second World War, and now donates a large portion of his war pension to charities. If there’s any human being on the planet who deserves a minute of silent respect, it’s that guy. – Tonaya Marr

They Anyway?"


There are times when I look at my kids and hear my dad’s voice ringing clear as a bell in my ear. That time is typically between 9:30 and 11:30 each night.

“Go to bed. You stay up late, and then you can’t get up in the morning,” he would tell me almost every night during the summers I spent on the farm. “Go to bed!”

Of course, I never did. I simply could not fall asleep before midnight, ever.

It seems that I have been cursed with myself in the form of my son.

While Katrina is a piece of work in her own regard, five-year-old Spencer is about to drive me to the

bottle.My wife works early

each morning, so she is typically in bed by 9:30 p.m. That’s when the shenanigans begin. That’s also when I do a lot of my work, either for the paper or for my photography business. The idea is that I can work without interfer-ence. At least that’s the idea, if not reality.

Other parents on our block tell me their kids go to bed at 8:30 each night. They look at me in amaze-ment when I tell them I have a hard time getting them to bed before 10.

Katrina will putz and procrastinate, and occasion-ally raid the fridge. “I’m

hungry,” she’ll say around 10 p.m. Eventually she will settle down.

Spencer, however, seems to think he’s James Bond, despite never hav-ing seen a Bond fi lm. He stealthily sneaks out of his room, and the pitter-patter of little feet prance across the fl oor to the kitchen, where he will fi nd himself at least three times.

Why, I don’t know. We feed him. But he never wants to eat much supper. He always leaves half on

his plate, if not more. So we leave his plate out for awhile, expecting, occasionally rightly, that he will return to it while grazing.

My offi ce is directly below the kitchen, so I can hear every little noise he makes. The light-footed scamper, the fridge opening, the scamper back.

That’s not so bad. But then he will scare me half to death by suddenly appearing by my side, in my offi ce, at 10:43 p.m. “Daddy, read me a book,” or “Daddy, me can’t sleep,” he says.

This may be his fi rst vis-it to my offi ce, or his fourth,

since 9:30. Sometimes I am warm and cuddly, and send him back to bed. Other times I snarl and yell and chase him back up the stairs. Neither approach seems to work.

It’s my understanding there are essentially two approaches to motivation, commonly known as the car-rot and the stick. The carrot is positive reinforcement: Do this and something good will happen. You get something you like. The stick is nega-tive reinforcement: Don’t do this and I will do something you will not like.

I’ve tried both, and nothing seems to work. I have gone so far as locking him in his room, which just results in him banging on the door for an hour. That doesn’t go over well with my wife who has to be up at 5:30 a.m.

Lately he’s taken to sneaking into Michelle’s offi ce on the other end of

the basement, unplugging her iPhone, and playing games on it under her desk. Michelle wandered in there late tonight to fi nd this going on. The reaction was swift and loud.

How Spencer survives on so little sleep, I don’t know. His daycare still has naps, but I have asked them to try to keep him from ac-tually falling asleep. We’ve had varying success on that one, me thinks.

Both kids, but Spencer especially, are wired like me: nighthawks. We all have a hard time going to bed early, or waking up early. Morn-ings are for the birds, not us.

As I type this at 1:23 a.m., I am resigned to the fact the little apple has not rolled far from the tree.

ProvincialREGINA - In what is

believed to be a fi rst for a Canadian province, Sas-katchewan is making lists available to the public of government buildings that contain asbestos.

Workplace Safety Min-ister Don Morgan says the province will create an as-bestos information website.

“We want to make sure that working people and their families learn about asbestos and how to keep themselves safe,” Morgan said in a news release Tuesday.

School districts, uni-versities, health regions and municipalities are being encouraged to post their in-formation on the ministry’s web page.

NationalTORONTO - A wave of

retirements among business owners over the next few years could pose a signifi -cant risk for the Canadian economy as the country un-dergoes the biggest transfer of economic control in its history, according to CIBC World Markets.

CIBC says half of all small- and medium-sized businesses in Canada are set to retire over the next decade, including 310,000 that plan to transfer control fo their companies within the next fi ve years.

“The economic impli-cations of the accelerated pace at which firms are changing hands should not be underestimated,” CIBC deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal said in the report issued Tuesday.

An estimated $1.9 tril-lion in business assets are poised to change hands in fi ve years — the biggest transfer of Canadian busi-ness control on record, CIBC says.

And by 2022, this num-ber will mushroom to at least $3.7 trillion as 550,000 owners exit their businesses.

“Given this magnitude, a faulty or badly executed succession planning process could have a ripple effect throughout the Canadian economy via reduced pro-ductivity, job losses, pre-mature sales and increased bankruptcy rates,” the CIBC

World Market report said.International

ALBANY, N.Y. - New York’s governor plans to request $30 billion in U.S. aid to rebuild after Super-storm Sandy, which heavily damaged parts of New York City and Long Island.

The state will seek a supplemental appropria-tion to cover infrastructure, repair and emergency costs beyond those normally cov-ered by federal emergency aid, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday. “I’ve asked for 100 per cent reimburse-

ment,” said.Generally the Federal

Emergency Management Agency will reimburse up to 75 per cent of public costs, with the state and local authorities covering the remaining 25 per cent. There have been cases, such as Hurricane Katrina, where the federal government has reimbursed up to 90 per cent of costs.

***HONG KONG - A lux-

ury Hong Kong apartment in a Frank Gehry-designed building has sold for an

eye-popping price of nearly $60 million, the property developer said Tuesday, the latest sign of the city’s overheated housing market.

Swire Properties Ltd. said it sold the 620 square meter (6,683 square foot) apartment on the ninth fl oor of its Opus development for 455 million Hong Kong dol-lars ($58.7 million). It did not say who the buyer was.

Local property agents said it was the highest price ever paid for an apartment in the southern Chinese fi nan-cial centre. The sale comes

amid growing concern over surging property prices in Hong Kong driven by ultra-low interest rates and an infl ux of wealthy mainland Chinese buyers. Prices have doubled since the end of the global fi nancial crisis in 2009, according to a widely watched index.

The Hong Kong gov-ernment has introduced various measures in an attempt to cool the market. The latest round, including a tax on foreign buyers, was introduced at the end of last month.

Talk to 100 sports fans and ask them to name their favourite sports broadcaster and chances are you'll get at least 50 different answers.

It's like asking people their favourite colour or favourite food.

But we're not asking; we're telling you the best sportscasters in North Amer-ica - from my vantage point on my comfy couch.

Get ready to disagree.1. Dan Shulman: The

Canadian native is primar-ily known as the voice of ESPN's Sunday Night Base-ball. He has the most velvet of voices and is always armed with great information and interesting anecdotes. Lis-tening to Shulman is usually better than the game itself.

2. Jim Hughson: Hock-ey Night in Canada's No. 1 play-by-play announcer is a major step up from the shrill-voiced Bob Cole. Hughson never gets too excited, nor too dry, but broadcasts al-most as though he is carrying on a conversation with the listener. Comfortable.

3. Vin Scully: He's in his 80s and works without a colour man and is never short of interesting and in-formative things to say. He has never played an inning of baseball, but might just be the best-known Los Angeles

Shulman, Hughson best sportscasters

Dodger.4. Jay Onrait: OK, so

this is a high ranking for a goofy guy, but if sports really is entertainment, then TSN's sports anchor Onrait fi ts that bill to a T. Get the scores and get a laugh at the same time.

5. Ron MacLean: Witty, knowledgeable, great in-terviewer, what more can be said about the CBC's MacLean, one of the most versatile and professional announcers around.

6. Rich Lerner: If you don't subscribe to The Golf Channel, you might not know about Lerner, but he is the network's best. Always the voice of calm and reason, he is comfortable serving as host, commentator or interviewer.

7. Jim Nantz: The CBS veteran is not only the net-work's No. 1 play-by-play man on NFL football, but he is the soothing voice of the Masters. Always in control, always smart.

8. Al Michaels: Known

best for "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" Michaels, who now does Sunday Night Football on NBC, always makes these lists. He's a pro.

9. Bob Irving: OK, if you don't live in Manitoba you may not have heard of Irving, the 37-year CJOB radio voice of the Blue Bombers, but he's a treat to listen to, and he's a friend of mine - so there!

10. Bob Costas: He's a walking encyclopedia and if you're scrolling through channels and see him inter-viewing a sports fi gure, stop, watch and listen.

• Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel: "Apple is going completely overboard about releasing all of these new electronic products. Coming soon: An Apple de-vice for athletes to get instant access to steroids. It's called an iPED."

• Janice Hough of left-coastsportsbabe.com: "The Los Angeles Angels are looking to trade pitcher Dan

Haren, and reportedly have interest from both the Red Sox and the Cubs. Sounds like either way, Haren's likely to keep getting his Octobers off."

• Rick Reilly of ESPN, in an essay about Bears' quarterback Jay Cutler's pouty ways: "There are 50 shades of Jay, and all of them are morose."

• Reader Glenn Spring-stead of Columbia, Mary-land, asking a question of Norman Chad of the Washington Post: "Now that David Stern is retiring, will Gary Bettman realize his life's dream of merging the four major sports into a single corporate collective and locking out all the play-ers with one stroke?"

• NFL-related headlines at sportspickle.com: "Chiefs spend Sunday watching how NFL teams play football." "Jerry Jones issues weekly statement about disappoint-ment."

• Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun, after the Blue Bombers did not renew the contract of assistant general manager Ross Hodgkinson: "Hodgkinson had as much to do with Winnipeg's 6-12 record as the night security guy with the huge German shepherd."

• Comedy writer Jim

Barach: "The Philadelphia 76'ers have unleashed the world's biggest T-shirt can-non on their fans. The cannon can take more than 100 shots per minute. Which still falls well short of the team record still held by Allen Iverson."

• R.J. Currie of sports-

deke.com: Two milestones of note this month. The 300th episode of Law & Order: SVU; and the third anniver-sary of Elin & Tiger: SUV."

Like the pop of a bal-loon, the 2012 Saskatch-ewan Roughriders' season came to an abrupt and devastating end Sunday af-ternoon in the CFL Western Semifi nal in Calgary. It was a last-minute 36-30 loss to the rival Stampeders that sent them to the Western Final at B.C. and sent the Riders home.

It's still too painful to relive, but I suppose we have to. In a quarterback battle of Darian Durant and Drew Tate, both teams wanted to get the jump early, but it was scoreless until there was 0:02 left in the open-ing quarter when the Riders opened the scoring with a Sandro Deangelis fi eld goal.

The Stampeders took over from there, however, and never really looked back. The Riders held the lead briefl y twice more, but it literally lasted for only a few seconds. Blunders on special teams and defence ultimately cost them the game.

With 0:47 to go and the Riders up 30-29, Tate launched a 68-yard touch-down bomb to Romby Bryant to give Calgary the winning points.

BOOM! Done. And that's the season.

Well, that's all she wrote

Thrilling ending, but another devastating way for "Canada's Team" to lose at McMahon Stadium.

"It's been a tough place for us lately," admitted Durant, who threw for 453 yards and four touchdowns. "Give Calgary credit, they're a good team. We made too many mistakes and ultimately gave them the game."

Yes, he's right. We all hoped the playoffs would be a brand new season and the teams would be equal, but we were just fooling ourselves. The young Rid-ers shot themselves in the foot time after time and a coverage breakdown led to the last-minute touchdown to break their back. Mean-while the veteran Stamps never really seemed out of control of the game.

"That's the thing about football; sometimes it's out of your hands and you hope people step up and make

plays," Durant continued. "Calgary did. Calgary pretty much played a mistake-free game and that's why they won."

Right now we're in a holding pattern. It's sicken-ing to look ahead to next season because there's a long, cold winter staring at us before that. And it feels too soon to look back and refl ect on the 2012 season because we weren't ready nor prepared for it to end.

"We had a good win there, but we let it slip away," said Rider coach Corey Chamblin, with a comment we've heard before this sea-son. "Those aren't the things that you want to remember at the end of your season. There's a lot of pride there and a lot to build off for next year. I'm proud of the effort from this young team."

He had on a cheerful expression, but he had to be devastated inside.

Chamblin had assured

us his team would be ready come playoff time and al-though at times they were, they didn't play a complete game when it counted.

"We gotta be disci-plined," Chamblin con-tinued. "We talked about playing smart and tough, but we didn't play smart in some positions.

"I thought we brought this team a long way from what we had. We retooled the whole roster. We got some stars there, and I think we'll be a contender next year."

Next year. Next Year Country! That's a phrase we used to hear all the time around here when seasons ended too soon.

This time tough, there's a sense of faith in Chamblin in this province. At least there should be. Stop for a minute and consider where this team was one year ago and where it is now.

Massive improvement. It's just hard being patient for the baby steps when you remember where this team was between 2007 and 2010.

They're on their way back there.

(Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)

ProvincialREGINA - Corey

Chamblin says he’s feel-ing good about the fu-ture of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, even though his first season as a CFL head coach ended with an early playoff exit.

The Roughriders were looking ahead to next season after a devastating 36-30 loss to the Calgary Stampeders in the West Division semifinal on Sunday.

Chamblin says the 2012 edition of the team consisted of young players or players who were new to the league — particularly on defence — meaning

Riders pick up pieces, move on to 2013Saskatchewan’s medio-cre 8-10 record and swift elimination from the post-season can be written off as growing pains.

“A loss is a loss. It’s time to move on,” Chamblin told reporters Tuesday while reflecting on a season he character-ized as equal parts “good and bad.”

He said it took just seconds after the final whistle for Chamblin to shift focus to improving his team next season. The Grey Cup will be played at Mosaic Stadium in 2013 and there will be ad-ditional pressure to field a contender.

“We just have to have a better team,” Chamblin said, adding that it’s too early to talk about po-tential coaching or roster moves.

Chamblin believes the Roughriders “easily could have had an 11-win season.”

NationalTORONTO - There is

something missing from Joe Sakic’s new plaque at the Hockey Hall of Fame and it’s not because the printer made a mistake.

Among the list of his many achievements is no mention of his 21st NHL season, the one that was

never played because of the 2004-05 lockout. With the sport back in another dark period brought on by another labour dispute, Sakic reflected on the year that never was on the day he took his place among hockey’s greats.

“I lost a year of hock-ey,” Sakic said Monday prior to the induction ceremony. “It would have been 21 years instead of 20. That’s what you lose.”

Fellow inductees Mats Sundin and Adam Oates were also in the NHL when the last lockout hit while Pavel Bure, the fourth member of the class, was already retired.

Sundin never man-aged to win a Stanley Cup during his career and can’t help but wonder what could have been had the 2004-05 been played. His Maple Leafs were on a run of six consecutive playoff appearances before that work stoppage.

“It was awful,” said Sundin. “I think it’s dev-astating.”

While all four of the inductees seem to have thoroughly enjoyed their induction weekend, the current lockout made it a more subdued affair than usual. They were to have been honoured at Air Canada Centre prior to a scheduled Leafs-Devils game on Friday night — a missed opportunity in particular for Sundin, the longtime Toronto captain, and Oates, who grew up in the city.

DURHAM, N.C. - The Duke athletic department

has removed a photo from its website showing a women’s lacrosse player dressed in blackface at a team Halloween party.

The team held the party and costume con-test at head coach Kerstin Kimel’s house. The junior class dressed as characters from “The Little Rascals” movie. One player painted her face black as part of her Buckwheat costume.

A picture of the wom-an and the team’s six other juniors was posted last week. The picture was changed Monday.

Kimel says some of the costume choices were insensitive and inappropri-ate and the team members should have realized how the pictures would be viewed. The team and coaches apologized for the photo.

Duke assistant sports information director Les-lie Gaber said neither Kimel nor the player had any comments.

The ceremonies included wreath laying, hymns sung by both the senior and junior choirs and recitation of poems and the playing of the Last Post and a special prayer at the start of the service, just after the national anthem. The introductions and activities were all performed by the students while teachers directed the choirs and provided technical assistance.

French Onion Soup

Onions, slowly cooked until deep-brown and cara-melized, give this classic its distinctive fl avor. Great for a party, this recipe is easily doubled; simply cook the onions in two skillets.

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

6 medium onions, thinly sliced

1/4 teaspoon salt4 cups water1 can (14 1/2 ounces)

beef broth (1 3/4 cups brown beef stock may be substituted)

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme4 slices (1/2-inch thick)

diagonal French bread4 ounces Gruyere or

Swiss cheese, shredded (1 cup)

1. In nonstick 12-inch skillet, melt butter over me-dium-low heat. Add onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very tender and begin to caramelize, about 45 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until on-ions are deep golden brown, about 15 minutes longer.

2. Transfer onions to 5-quart Dutch oven. Add 1/2 cup water to same skillet and

heat to boiling, stirring until browned bits are loosened from bottom of skillet. Add to onions in Dutch oven. Add remaining 3 1/2 cups water, broth and thyme to onions and heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 450 F. Arrange bread slices on cookie sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 5 min-utes. Place four ovenproof bowls in jelly-roll pan for easier handling. Spoon soup evenly into bowls and top with toasted bread, slightly pressing bread into soup. Sprinkle Gruyere evenly on top. Bake until cheese has melted and begins to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Makes about 5 cups, or 4 fi rst-course servings.

• Each serving: About 402 calories, 22g total fat (13g saturated), 64mg cholesterol, 887mg sodium, 37g total carbs, 15g protein.
