Preston’s Road Race has surpassed the $100,000 mark but the finish line is still nowhere in sight. The sixth annual five-kilometre run/walk, to be held at Regina’s Wascana Centre, is scheduled for May 29. The race is held in memory of Preston Meyer, who lived in Estevan and passed away of cancer in 2004 at age 10. Last year’s race raised nearly $30,000, bringing the event’s lifetime total to just over $100,000. Preston’s Road Race is a non-profit organization and 100 per cent of funds raised go directly to families with a seriously ill child, to assist with travel and medical expenses. This year’s recipients are three-yearold Ava Melnychuk of Regina, who was diagnosed in 2008 with acute myeloid leukemia, and six-year-old Kyren Gronick who was diagnosed last month with lymphatic cancer and is currently receiving treatment in Regina. Steak dinner fundraisers will be held over lunch (11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.) and supper (5-8 p.m.) on Tuesday at the Beefeater. A fundraiser barbecue will also be held at Senchuk Ford on May 13. Event co-organizer Lori Meyer says T-shirts will soon be available for $20 each, and local children will be out collecting pledges this week as well. The race itself begins at 9 a.m. with registration starting at 8 a.m. the day of the race. The entry fee is $20 for those 14 years and older, or $10 for those under 14.

ANSWER: Sodium has many functions. It keeps body fluids at the right level. It maintains blood pressure. I t ’s e s s e n t i a l f o r muscle contractions. It participates in generating the heartbeat. It carries a positive electric charge, so it balances the negatively charged body substances. A drop in blood sodium leads to fatigue, nausea and weakness. If the level dips farther, people become confused and dizzy. At very low levels, they could have a seizure and lapse into a coma. Your friend’s doctor has the task of finding out why your friend’s sodium level fell. In quite a few instances, it comes about from an inappropriate release of a body hormone called ADH, antidiuretic hormone. This hormone stops kidney urine production. The result is too much water in t h e b o d y. T h e e x t r a water dilutes sodium and produces a low reading. Liver diseases, troubles with the adrenal glands and a sluggish thyroid gland are other causes

i n f o r m a t i o n . Yo u r “someone” has to be one of them. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Q: I have a question about the stars of the TV series “JAG.” I know Catherine Bell is in “Army Wives,” but what about David James Elliott? Where can I see him? -- Mare, via e-mail A: David James Elliott, 49, has been keeping very busy with TV miniseries and movies, his most recent being the Hallmark Channel original movie “Dad’s Home.” David stars as a dad who loses his job and has to stay at home. When the former workaholic is suddenly thrust into the lives of his children, whom he doesn’t really know at all, it’s just in time to heal the family bonds he has been breaking. Sharon Case (“The Young and the Restless”) costars. The movie premieres on Saturday, June 19, just in time for Fathers’ Day. *** Q: I have always been a big fan of Emeril Lagasse and always watched his cooking show, “Emeril Live.” I read that he has a new show coming out soon. What is it, and where can I watch it? -- Doris J., Atlanta A: The good-natured chef is back on TV with a new variety/talk show, “The Emeril Lagasse Show.” As Emeril himself told me, his goal is to have fun and entertain his fans, as well as his guests: “We had Sammy Hagar on, which was a great show. He’s a great musician, but Sammy just didn’t come to play. He came to not only play a song, but he came to actually play and be a part of the show.” You can catch “The Emeril Lagasse Show”

on the ION network Sunday nights at 8 p.m. *** Q : I was watching a rerun of “The Office,” and I could swear that the actor who plays the pizza delivery boy that Michael and Dwight take hostage is Artie from “Glee.”-- Genie J., via email A: You are correct, Genie. I spoke recently with Kevin McHale, the talented young actor who plays Artie on the megahit “Glee,” and he told me what a thrill it

was to work on that show. “They were really, really nice. They’re all geniuses. I remember the very first take we shot was the first scene that I’m in with Steve Carell. He starts improvising, and I had to hide my face behind the pizza boxes, ‘cause I’m like, ‘This is ridiculous.’ Every time I start frowning -- the same thing on ‘Glee’ -- if you see me frown, it’s because I’m about to laugh.” *** Q: I was a faithful viewer of the sitcom “Becker,” and I would like to know what the star, Ted Danson, is up to lately. -- Sara S., Fort Worth, Texas A: Ted co-stars in the Glenn Close legal drama “Damages,” which airs on

FX. He also co-stars in the HBO comedy series “Bored to Death.” When Ted’s not working, you can find him tending to his organic garden at his and wife Mary Steenburgen’s home in Ojai, Calif.

Hi, my name is Duke, I am pretty new at the EHS, I was found just outside of Midale in a farm yard, do you know who I am? Anyway, I am a Golden Lab Retriever, sandy in colour, male about 8-9 months old. I am a real good natured pup, I do know some commands.

Hi, my name is Jackson, I am a male Shih-Tzu cross, I have a brand new hair cut and I hope someone will fall in love with me soon. I am a sweet little guy, I am pretty young so I am up to learning new tricks. Why don’t you come and see me and the rest of my friends at EHS, we love company.

My name is Magic, I am a Boxer Cross, golden brown in colour, male just over one year old. I came from the Regina Humane Society, I was adopted by a young guy who already had a big dog, Taz. He found out he couldn’t handle me and Taz together so he just threw me out to the street knowing I would end up down here. I hope whoever adopts me next time knows I will need good training, exercised regularly, loved and then I will be the best dog ever.

Check out the animals in our care at:

Difficult problems require innovative solutions from council Since the health care community and ministry has abrogated a portion of their responsibility in recruiting and retaining health care professionals, the communities they serve have found themselves having to leap into that breach. In Estevan that means our city council is having to put some serious thought into the prospect of adding to the mill rate to accommodate the needs associated with the growing problem of disappearing doctors, nurses and other health industry professionals within the city and immediate area. This problem, coupled with a burgeoning need to build a new seniors’ housing complex and affordable housing for a good portion of the remaining population, gives our councillors a unique dilemma. So far the talk has centred around a half-mill levy on property taxes as one way to raise funds for medical professional recruitment and possibly have it roll out to provide financial support for a seniors’ complex that will replace the aging Estevan Regional Nursing Home. The fact that the nursing home will require more community funds than the soon-to-open arena and event complex, speaks volumes about the obligations that the seniors’ housing fundraising committee has taken on. A new arena and event complex is a sexy, in-your-face project

that caught the imagination of the public and business community in Estevan and area. We hope that same kind of enthusiasm greets the fundraisers for the less sexy senior housing needs. Somehow we believe it will. After all, millions were raised for a new St. Joseph’s Hospital 15 to 20 years ago. It’s time for a repeat performance. What council may also want to consider though, is another approach to raising the badly needed funds for health professionals and housing. A mill rate levy is one concrete avenue, but they might also wish to consider a one per cent tax on goods and services sold locally or in lieu of that, a one per cent tax applied directly to each hospitality bill, i.e. a one per cent tax on hotel and motel room billings. This type of revenue raising has met with success in several other centres including our nearby neighbours in North Dakota and we’re willing to bet the majority of us who use their hospitality services haven’t even noticed that additional tax that their citizens use to support local businesses (non-profit and for- profit) and organizations. Council has indicated in the past that they were loath to enter into the property management and housing market, but by definition, they’ve been there for decades through their arranged and managed subdivision developments. There is nothing wrong with that, it’s a fact of life in Estevan. So our council could be addressing three growing problems in one fell swoop, either through a retail/hospitality/luxury tax or a mill rate levy. Three major problems that are restricting even further growth in this city are a lack of doctors and health care professionals, affordable decent housing for the working poor and adequate and dignified accommodations for our seniors who would like to live out their remaining years among friends and families. The discussion should be a lively one and we might suggest one that would well worth having in our council chambers.

There is no business case for feeding old horses. They must go somewhere. While in North America we may generally not look to throw a horse steak on the barbecue, that should not prevent us understanding many cultures which accept it, just as other cultures are quite satisfied eating eggs where the chicks are partially developed, or munching on a variety of insects we would tend to turn our noses up at.

THE TRADER, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2010 1 package (10-ounce) pre-washed baby spinach 1/2 cup sour cream or feta cheese 2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto

Keep It Simple in the Kitchen on Mother’s Day My husband’s culinary skills begin and end with making a great pot of coffee. With that in mind, I’ve created a simple Mother’s Day dinner recipe that even a non-cook can successfully follow. Preparing a meal is one of the best ways to show someone you love them. After all, the origin of Mother’s Day is rooted in a daughter’s love and respect for her mother. In 1905, after her mother’s death, Anna M. Jarvis began a campaign to recognize her mother’s work as a community activist and peace advocate, and to honor her memory. It took several years, but in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother’s Day as a national holiday. The House of Representatives also adopted a resolution recommending that officials of the federal government wear white carnations on Mother’s Day. Here’s a simple recipe for Pasta With Spinach. The step-by-step directions will ensure a successful result for even the most unskilled cook, and create the perfect meal for the Moms we love. BEGINNER’S PASTA WITH SPINACH 8 ounces Angel Hair pasta 1 gallon cold water 4 teaspoons salt (for water) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning spice

TO COOK THE PASTA: 1. Fill a large, tall stockpot with the water, turn heat to high and bring water to a boil. 2. When water begins to boil, add the salt. (Adding the salt to the water now is necessary because it’s the time when the pasta absorbs it best. Do not add oil of any kind. Oil will coat the pasta, and the sauce will not stick.) 3. Hold the pasta vertically over the boiling water and carefully slide it into the pot. Lower the heat to medium so the pasta water doesn’t foam up and boil over the sides. As the pasta begins to soften, use a long fork or wooden spoon to push the pasta into the water until it’s submerged. 4. Turn the heat back up to high. Stir the pasta to keep it from clumping together. Stir every few minutes as needed to keep the pasta separated. 5. After 6 to 8 minutes, use the fork or spoon to pull out a piece of pasta. Taste it to see if it is soft, not raw or starchy-tasting. The pasta is done when it is “al dente,” which is Italian for “when it is right for the tooth,” and refers to the correct cooking point of pasta. If the pasta isn’t done, let it continue to cook another 2 or 3 minutes until it’s soft but firm -- not mushy or overcooked. 6. Fill a coffee cup with some of the pasta water and set it aside to use when making the sauce. 7. Place a large colander in the sink. Using potholders to protect your hands, carefully move the pot to the sink. Carefully drain the pasta into the colander. 8. Pick up the colander with the potholders and shake it well to remove any excess

water from the pasta. Do NOT rinse the pasta. 9. Place the drained pasta back into the large pot and start making the sauce. TO MAKE THE SAUCE: 1. Using a large saucepan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning and spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and stir to combine. 2. When the spinach begins to wilt, stir in the sour cream or feta cheese and the pesto. 3. Pour the sauce into the large pot containing the drained pasta. Turn the heat to low. 4. Mix the sauce and the pasta together until wellcombined. 5. Use a 1 or 2 tablespoons of the pasta water to thin out the sauce, as needed. 6. Place the finished pasta in a large bowl and serve immediately with garlic bread or rolls.

Heavy Rains Take Toll on Basements Q: I have a dry basement. But recently, after heavy rains, I noticed that in two corners of the basement the paint was bubbling up a bit and, when I pressed one of the bubbles, the paint split and water trickled out. I haven’t experienced dampness issues before. What’s the problem? -- Gary in Waltham, Mass. A: Considering all the pump hoses I saw trailing from basements around my neighborhood following recent heavy rains in the Northeast, a little dampness doesn’t seem like much. But you’re paying attention to the problem right away, when it’s relatively small and new -- and that’s actually very important. It can save you from having to bale out the basement a few years from now. The first thing to do is to find out if water is draining correctly away from your foundation, or if something is impeding that drainage. Check outside the house, near those corners. Are there gutter downspouts nearby? Do you have shrubs, hedges or other plants in place next to the foundation? If gutter downspouts are near the corners, make sure the water is draining well away from the foundation and that it disperses evenly. The small bend at the bottom of the downspout may not be enough -- water should be directed at least a foot away from the foundation, so you might need to purchase a gutter extension. Should the rains return

before you’re able to do that, you could do what my neighbor did in a pinch during the storms, and improvise a drain extension. What he did was set a flat piece of concrete directly beneath the downspout opening, raised the end slightly by placing a few pebbles underneath so the water flowed away faster. He then found a length of flexible plastic tubing about 4 feet long in his shed and duct-taped that to the end of the downspout. Check the distance of plants from the house. They should be planted more than a foot away from the foundation to prevent their roots from extending to the foundation and allowing water to seep in through the cracks they exploit. Plants that are set too near, or plants whose roots have crept to the foundation, should be removed and new plants placed farther away. I f y o u d o n ’t s e e improvement in the water seepage, or would just like to make sure, have a licensed contractor double-check the basement and foundation for unseen damage. The faster you tackle any issues, the less

you’ll have to shell out for repairs down the road. HOME TIP: Inspect your home’s gutter system twice a year, in spring and fall, for

Good eating today

Are fast food salads really a healthier choice? Written by the Public Health Nutritionists of Saskatchewan and supported by Population Health Promotion, Sun Country Health Region The availability of salads on fast-food restaurant menus makes it easier to choose a more balanced meal. But, just like with any food, a salad is only as healthy as the ingredients used to make it. Fast food restaurants usually have nutrition and ingredient information readily available at their store or on their web site. You can use that information and the points below to make sure your salad is a healthier choice. * When choosing a salad as your main entrée keep Canada’s Food Guide in mind. Including one serving from each of the four food groups at

By Samantha Weaver • It was Pulitzer Prizewinning American author John Steinbeck, best known for “The Grapes of Wrath” and “Of Mice and Men,” who made the following sage observation: “The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.” • If you’re planning a summer trip to Maine, you won’t want to miss the stunning tourist attraction to be found on Peaks Island. There you’ll find an entire museum devoted to housing a rather extensive collection of umbrella covers. • If you’ve never heard of the quagga, don’t blame yourself. The creature, once found on the plains of Africa, has been extinct since 1883. An odd-looking creature, this subspecies of zebra was once thought to be half-zebra, half

lunch and supper can help you reach the minimum number of servings each day. * Lean meats such as grilled chicken breast, nuts, seeds, or eggs are good choices. They are sources of protein and iron. Avoid bacon bits, processed meats and chicken strips that are deep-fried. * Cheese can be added to a salad to provide a Milk and Alternative choice but they are usually high in fat. A better option would be to have low fat milk to drink. Sour cream adds calories and saturated fat with little calcium or protein and is not considered a serving from the Milk and Alternatives food group. * Grain products are often not available with a fast

food salad meal. Croutons, crispy noodles and tortillas are often fried. Noodle or rice soups can be an option

horse. Though the front part of its body had the zebra’s stripes, those stripes faded out mid-body and the rest of the equine looked remarkably like a common horse.

*** Thought for the Day: “Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.” -- Frank Zappa

• It’s been claimed that 19th-century English naturalist Charles Darwin devoted eight years to studying the lowly barnacle.

but are often quite salty. You may want to include a whole grain bun to make up what you missed. * When it comes to the type of salad vegetables, choose those that are more nutritious such as spinach, romaine, or other colourful lettuces. * Add vegetables and fruit such as mandarin or-

anges, dried fruit, and salsa. All of these add both nutrients and flavour to a salad. Salad dressings often contain hidden calories and fat. This can be partly due to package size. Typically, packages contain about 60 grams of salad dressing. This works out to about 60 mL or four tablespoons (1/4 cup) of dressing. This is a very large portion size. Salad dressings made with cheese, eggs, or but-

termilk tend to be higher in calories. Although these ingredients are nutritious, they are sources of saturated fat. Vinaigrettes are usually better choices, but there is a large range in the number of calories and amount of fat provided. A light vinaigrette is usually a better choice. A side-salad can definitely be a better choice than french fries. For example, at one restaurant, a side salad with 1/2 the package of vinaigrette dressing may provide 75 calories and four grams of fat compared to approximately 220 calories and 11

grams of fat found in a small serving of french fries. Don’t forget that you will be getting the bonus nutrients and fibre from the vegetables! Check out your favourite fast-food restaurant’s web site for nutrition and ingredient information. In fact, check out a few different restaurants’ information to see where you can get some of the better choices.

Dog Life Vests, Safety Belts Several years ago, a frightening incident inspired automotive safety specialist Christina Selter to found BarkBuckleUP, a program that promotes pet safety. “We had a near-accident with our dogs in the car. (We were) only traveling about 2 mph from a stop sign, when a car ran a red light and our little Betty fell off the seat. (She) wasn’t hurt, but didn’t want to be on the seat or in the car. It took some time to get her confident again.” Selter, who has an SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) certification, created BarkBuckleUP to

remind owners to restrain their pets properly in the car, using safety belts specially designed for pets. She travels the U.S. throughout the year, promoting the message and working with police and fire departments to support the safety program. BarkBuckleUP also focuses on other safety issues, and Selter wants pet owners to stay aware. May is National Water Safety Month, and she reminds owners to keep a close eye on their pets while playing near or in the water. While explaining that most dogs love water, she warns, “Dogs get tired just like us. They need to take breaks.” Dogs also should wear

lithographs done by my husband’s great-greatgrandfather. I am enclosing pictures of them, and I wonder if you can tell me anything about them. - Janice, Albuquerque, N.M. A: To determine the value of older lithographs, it is a good idea to contact art dealers in your community. You can find many listed in the business pages of the Albuquerque telephone directory. Show your lithographs to several dealers to get an idea of approximate values.

Victorian lithographs are fairly common, so don’t be surprised if they are not extremely valuable. Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features We e k l y S e r v i c e , P. O .

Celluloid Doll Q: I have a celluloid doll that is about 4 1/2 inches tall. The arms are movable, and on the back it is marked “Irwin -- Made in U.S.A..” How much do you think it is worth? -- Flo, Montevideo, Minn. A: The Irwin Doll Company produced dolls and toys throughout the 1950s and is not to be confused with the Irwin Doll Company of Canada. The American-produced dolls are fairly common. A quick check of the Internet revealed several dozen dolls from this company, all priced in the $10 to $25 range. As with all collectibles, there are always exceptions to the rule. Two excellent reference books are 200 Years of Dolls: Identification and Price Guide by Dawn Herlocher (Krause, $29.99) and The Blue Book: Dolls & Values by Jan Foulke (Hobby House Press, $19.95). *** Q: I own an autographed photo of Elvis Presley that was printed by the Singer Company. Does it have any value? -- Randolph, White River Junction, Vt. A: Maybe. You must first determine if it is an authentic signature by the singer. Two autograph dealers I highly recommend are Brian Kathenes, National Appraisal Consultants, P.O. Box 482, Hope, NJ 07844; and Ray Nugent, Nugent Appraisal Services, P.O. Box 11984, Naples, FL 34101. Don’t be cruel, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope when contacting

these experts. *** Q: I have a collection of 40 Beanie Babies that date back to the 1990s. I was wondering about a price list for them. -- Janeen, Salem, Mo. A: Barry Stein of Kirkland, Wash., has been selling Beanie Babies online since 1997, and he can help you. His contact information is barrybeanies.com and http://www.barrysbeanies. com/generic31.html. *** Q: I have a signed Picasso print, “The Dream.” I am curious about its value. -Jennie, Albuquerque, N.M.

A:There are two excellent art galleries in Albuquerque, and maybe that is where you should begin your research: Oro Fine Arts, 200 3rd St., NW; and Levy Gallery, 514 Central Ave., SW. Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475, or send e-mail to antiquequestions@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox is unable to personally answer all reader questions. Do not send any materials requiring return mail. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

THE TRADER, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2010

By Mark Vasto

A Hog Loaded for Bear? Things can move pretty quickly in the world of sports, and nothing can change the landscape of one’s favorite team

quicker than a sudden trade -particularly to one’s division rival. Such is the case at the Pennsylvania and Maryland border these days. Donovan McNabb has hit the Beltway, and Philadelphia isn’t sure what’s hit it yet. Donovan McNabb was to the Philly fan what Patrick Ewing was to the Knicks fan

-- both were larger-thanlife stars who possessed enormous talent but, alas, couldn’t bring home the championship. No matter what they accomplished during their lustrous careers, without a ring McNabb will be known as “the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl,” just like Ewing, one of the greats of his era, will be remembered for “the finger roll.” For the past 10 seasons, McNabb has been the face of football in Philadelphia. McNabb is the Eagles’ all-time leader in career wins, pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns. Despite this, McNabb never seemed to earn the respect

befitting a quarterback of his stature. The boos started to rain in Philadelphia, and when the Cowboys ushered them out of the playoffs last season, the team’s brass seemed anxious to usher him out of town, too. McNabb joins a Redskins franchise that has been in complete disarray for more than a decade. With the exception of the brief Joe Gibbs nostalgia tour, the team has over paid free agents, pinned its hopes on coaches like Steve Spurrier and Jim Zorn, and squandered draft picks. Now, led by Mike Shanahan, skeptical fans are wondering if McNabb and the former Denver coach can bring visions of John Elway to

Redskins Park. Like Elway when he took the Broncos to the championship, McNabb will turn 34 next season. And though McNabb has lost his mobility, his style of quarterbacking would seem to suit Shanahan well. While it has always proven foolish to underestimate McNabb and Shanahan, make no mistake about this Redskins team, it is not the “Hogs” of the ‘80s. And while that may seem like a high bar to measure a team by, it is an appropriate one. Those are the teams that won the NFC East and took home titles. Philadelphia now turns to Kevin Kolb, 10 years younger than McNabb and the first quarterback in NFL

history to throw for more than 300 yards in each of his first two career starts. Those are the sorts of things that have Philly fans showing optimism. And guess what Kolb does during his offseason? He hunts hogs (no lie). Philadelphia better hope so, because McNabb will be loaded for bear when he makes his burgundy-clad return to Philadelphia. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter and publisher of The Kansas City Luminary.
