Be a positive role model and set a good example for children
Kids want to be just like you. Are you a positive role
model and setting a good example?
Children can be easily influenced and copy the behaviours of role models. School-aged children most
often look to parents and teachers as role models.
It is important that adults model healthy eating and
physical activity for the children around them. In doing
so, they show children how to live a healthy lifestyle.
Nutrition is important for people of all ages. For
school-aged children, nutrition plays a large role in
growth, development and academic performance.
It also improves physical and mental health and
helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases. There are
many ways an adult can model healthy eating for the
children around them.
Here are a few helpful hints:
• Enjoy regular nutritious meals each day. This includes breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks.
• Choose a variety of foods from each of the four food
groups in Canada’s Food Guide every day. The four food
groups are: vegetables and fruit, grain products, milk
and alternatives and meat and alternatives.
• Limit foods and beverages that are high in calories,
fat, sugar or salt (sodium).
• Enjoy regular physical activity.
Physical activity is also important for physical and
mental health. Children whose parents exercise regularly are more likely to make exercise part of their routine.
Parents who exercise together with their children
further raise the chance of their children exercising on
their own.
Adults can have a positive influence on a child’s physical activity.
They can do this by encouraging them to try a wide
range of activities and focusing on participation rather
than on performance.
Modeling healthy behaviours is not only good for personal health, but it also helps encourage children to lead
a healthy lifestyle.

Autumn is a great time to observe wildlife, like the great Canadian beaver
KIMBERLY J. EPP
BEYOND YOUR BACKYARD
With the days getting shorter and children
back in school, summer is now ending and
autumn is taking its place.
The creatures of the wild are busier than
ever. Some birds are preparing to migrate
(if they haven’t done so already) and some
animals are putting on extra fat, while others are preparing food supplies that will last
them over the winter.
Autumn is a great time to observe
wildlife. Now is the time to notice trees
near our rivers, creeks and lakes, being
chopped down.
The beaver, North America’s largest rodent, is an industrious woodsman that can
take down a 12.5 cm willow in three minutes and a 15 cm birch (a harder wood) in
about 10 minutes.
Larger trees may take several nights and
may be worked on by more than one
beaver. It is the inner layer of bark, the cambium that the beavers eat during the winter.
In addition to a diet of bark, fat is also
stored in the beaver’s tails, which will also
help them endure the longest of winters.
The busy beaver earns its reputation at
this time of year as it prepares for the long,
harsh winter ahead.
Its lodge must be fortified as it needs to
house the mother, father, older kits from
last spring and the kits from this year.
Beavers have one to eight kits, depending
on the size of the territory and the food
supply.
The lodge’s entryways are underwater,
and it’s critical that the water is deep
enough to allow beavers to swim underneath the ice and access their food cache.
Sometimes holes are dug underwater to
give them more space for swimming to and
from their food supply as well as to escape
predators.
In some areas, such as at small creeks,
the beaver constructs dams in order to
keep the water level of their territory deep
enough.
Although dams are maintained over the
summer, more attention is paid to them in
the fall. This is when there is a greater urgency to ensure that the area where the
lodge is located is deep enough, as is the
food cache.
Note that in most creeks and rivers,
bank lodges are built.
When beavers are out of the water, they
are more at risk. In the water, they are fast
and can better defend themselves, and they
can slap their tails on the water to warn the
rest of the family.
When taking trees, branches and willows, they stop every few seconds to hear
— as their sense of hearing is much less
than many other animals.
A two-year-old juvenile beaver has to
make it on its own, but its parents will often
help out with the building or renovating of
a new lodge for the kit.
One year at Beaver Creek Conservation
Area, I noticed several freshly cut small
aspen trees and a fresh drag trail towards
the creek. I followed it and saw that the juvenile beaver was just ahead of me.
As it stopped and tried to listen with its
small ears, I stopped as well. He/she didn’t
know I was just a few meters behind.
This is when larger predators, such as
cougars and coyotes, can take a beaver
down.
On land, beavers are slow and not as
graceful as they are when in the water. The
drag trails and slides offer a quicker way
back to the water with, or without, their
food.
Ignorance of these creatures and their
role in nature can cause a false alarm about
having them in the neighborhood.
The majority of trees they cut are stimulated to grow more after they are cut. For
each willow stem that is cut, three or four
new ones will appear in the spring.
If beavers are removed from good habitats, new beavers will move in.
Allowing these beavers to remain in
these habitats preserves the many beaver
benefits.
Beavers maintain wetlands which provide habitat for other wildlife, sponge up
flood waters, prevent erosion, raise the
water table and purify the water.

DEAR UNDECIDED:
Perhaps. But if you do, be
diplomatic. You might
begin by telling her you
could see how “down”
she was when you all
came to visit, and that
she could get so much
more out of life if she
sought professional help
for her depression —
specifically some sessions with a licensed
counselor.
You could also mention that, while your father may not be her
favorite person, it would
be better if it was not so
obvious to the grandchildren,
because
they
sensed the tension and
mentioned it when they
returned home.
If you broach the subject lovingly, she might
listen and take steps to
help herself. One thing is
certain — if you say
nothing, nothing will
change.
DEAR ABBY: I have
been a social worker in
two skilled nursing
homes for the past six
years.
I often hear visitors
approach patients with
dementia and say, “Do
you know who I am?” or
“Do you know who this
is?” It’s like giving the
person with dementia a
test, one which the person will often fail.
It would be more effective to approach the
person and say, “It is so
nice to see you. I am
(whomever) and knew
you (in whatever circumstances).”
Persons with dementia do not need to be reminded that they don’t
recall something.
Most of them know it.
Even relatives — brothers, sisters, sons and
daughters — may need
to introduce themselves
to their loved ones.
Rather than giving the
person with dementia a
test when you visit, set
up the visit to succeed by
making simple introductions. Remember, people
who have dementia can
remember things that
happened a long time
ago, but they may not recall what happened in
the last five minutes.
Visitors should talk
about the “good old
days” and everyone will
experience a good visit.
— P.B. IN NORTH CAROLINA
DEAR P.B.: Because
increasing numbers of
individuals are being di-
agnosed with dementia,
I hope your suggestion
will be taken to heart by
my readers. In cases like
this, the visitor should
expect to be the one who
guides the conversation.
It’s important to keep
visits positive, loving and
stress-free.

OUT IN THE COMMUNITY

Theme of this year’s Heritage Days is ‘Back to the ’70s’
REBECCA L AWRENCE
SUNDAY TIMES
Veteran Moose Jaw actor Russ McKnight will be performing during the 2010 Saskatchewan Heritage Days
in Gravelbourg.
This year’s theme is “Back to the ’70s. On the Cusp
of Change.”
The sixth annual event will be held on Sept. 17 and
18.
Heritage Days, or La Journées de Changement, is organized by La Societé Historique de la Saskatchewan
and involves 135 actors, actresses and production crew
members from all over the province.
They will be presenting 20 short plays or vignettes
depicting various aspects of Saskatchewan history.
Each play is expected to be performed about 15
times with 10 performances on Sept. 17 for schools
and five on Sept. 18 for general audiences from noon
to 5 p.m. at various locations along Main Street.
McKnight will be performing a one-person play
called Ghost Farms. His character will be a farmerturned-school bus driver from 1972.
He said at that time in Saskatchewan’s history, more
than 3,500 farmers had quit the land.
The bus driver talks about how his driving route has
expanded considerably because the school boards had
forced many of the smaller towns and villages to shut
down their schools.
The script arrived just as the play in which he is currently performing, The Trial of Louis Riel, is taking a
break.
The cast will regroup in mid-November to fly to Ontario for performances in Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa
and Montreal and then back for a show in Winnipeg.
For more information about Heritage Days 2010, see

Wedding dresses, false teeth found during Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
MYLES FISH
SUNDAY TIMES
Sign up for the Great Canadian Shoreline
Cleanup and who knows what you might
find. In past years, wedding dresses, disco
balls, false teeth and even a canoe made
out of duct tape have been found along
lakes, rivers and oceans across Canada.
Locally, a fridge, armchair and golf ball
washer have been pulled out of Spring
Creek.
In Moose Jaw, there are cleanup events
planned for Spring Creek and Wakamow
Valley.
The North West Community Association is organizing the cleanup along Spring
Creek while the Wakamow Valley Authority
is covering its park.
Margaret Moran has been participating
in the events for over 10 years.
She has seen many odd items pulled out
of the creek, plus a lot of the plastic rings
from six-packs of cans which are especially
detrimental to wildlife.
“The first year I did it, there was a lot of
styrofoam floating in the reservoir and
probably 50 tires thrown in there.
“From diapers to fast food litter, you see
it all. It’s amazing how much accumulates
over the months,” said Moran.
The Spring Creek cleanup will be on
Sept. 18 at 1 p.m., while the cleanup in
Wakamow Valley will be on the 19th, also
at 1 p.m.
Moran said she hopes Moose Javians
will donate a few hours to help beautify the
city.
“After it is all said and done and you look
back and see the progress and what a dif-
ference it makes to the look of the reservoir
itself, it’s very satisfying. You can pat yourself on the back and know you’ve done
some good. It only takes a couple of hours
and it can make a really big difference.
“More hands means less work,” she said.
To get involved, or for more information,
call Moran at 692-4464.
The national conservation program
began in 1994. Last year, nearly 161,000
kilograms of litter was removed from 1,568
sites across the country. Myles Fish can be reached at 691-1263.

CITY OF MOOSE JAW
FALL WEED CONTROL PROGRAM
During 2010, the City of Moose Jaw will be continuing an Enhanced
Turf Management Program on its green space areas.
The use of pesticides on those areas has been reduced. All green
spaces will be evaluated and only those areas exhibiting high weed
numbers will be sprayed with pesticide. Those areas may be “spot
sprayed”. The
herbicide used will be 24D.
During the week of September 13th to September 17th, barring
inclement weather, Parks and Recreation Crews will spray city
owned property at:
Crescent Park
Other city owned properties will be evaluated for weed control and
sprayed as required.
Prior to spraying, adjacent residents will be notified. Areas to
be sprayed will be placarded prior to spraying.
If you are chemical sensitive or have any questions regarding the
City of Moose Jaw’s Turf Management program, please contact the
Parks and Recreation Department at 694-4439.
For your own comfort and safety, you are asked to stay off areas
during spraying operations and for 24 hours afterward. It is suggested that
residents keep their windows closed during spraying operations
and for 24 hours afterward.

CITY OF MOOSE JAW
DUTCH ELM DISEASE BASAL SPRAYING PROGRAM
During the week of Monday, September 13th to Sunday, September 19th, 2010 the City plans
to conduct a basal spray program to control the Elm Bark Beetle on City owned trees in Moose
Jaw. The Native Elm Bark Beetle is the primary vector of Dutch Elm Disease in the province of
Saskatchewan. The chemical Dursban will be sprayed on the bottom 1⁄2 metre of the tree where
the Native Elm Bark Beetle overwinters. This spraying is done under low pressure on Elm Trees
only. The chemical gives control for a two year period. If all elm trees in the city were sprayed
the spread of Dutch Elm Disease could be reduced by 97%.
Parks and Recreation plan on spraying city owned trees in:
North Hill Area West of 9th Ave. NW, including VLA, Sunningdale, Rosedale Cemetery,
Moose Jaw Cemetery, Manitoba Express Way, Coronation Drive 1100 block Athabasca
Street East.
Sprayed trees will be marked with a florescent Red dot. Prior to spraying, the areas will be
placarded and adjacent residents notified. It is advisable that residents leave their
windows closed when spraying operations are taking place.
If you wish to have your private Elm trees sprayed, please contact a licensed pesticide
applicator.
If you require any additional information, or are chemically sensitive, please contact the Parks
and Recreation Department at 694-4439.

After teen damages eyes, experts cite risk of powerful laser pointers
M ALCOLM R ITTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A 15-year-old boy damaged his eyes
while playing with a laser pointer he’d bought over
the Internet, say doctors who warn that dangerously
high-powered versions are easily available online.
One eye expert called it “a legitimate public
health menace.”
The boy’s case is reported in Thursday’s issue of
the New England Journal of Medicine by doctors
who treated him at the Lucerne Cantonal Hospital
in Switzerland.
It follows two reports in June of similar accidents.
British doctors said a teenager damaged his eyes
with a high-powered laser pointer, and a British
physician said his vision was affected for several
months after he was zapped by his seven-year-old
son.
Laser pointers are devices that resemble pens and
emit a narrow beam of laser light.
They’re used by lecturers to point out information during presentations, for example.
Laser pointers sold in the United States are subject to a power limit imposed by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration — one that won’t cause instant
eye damage, although harm is still possible with
prolonged exposure.
Laser pointers that exceed the FDA restriction
can be found online.
The Swiss boy’s laser was 30 times more powerful
than the FDA limit.
He bought it to pop balloons and burn holes in
paper and his sister’s sneakers, his doctors said.
One day, he was playing with the pointer in front
of a mirror to create a light show, and he accidentally zapped his eyes with its green light several
times.
Although he noticed right away that his vision
was blurry, he was afraid of telling his parents.
So it wasn’t until two weeks later, when he couldn’t hide the problem any longer, that he saw a doctor.
The vision in his left eye was so poor that he
couldn’t count fingers more than about a metre
away.
His other eye also showed severe vision loss, one
that would make it difficult to read a newspaper, Dr.
Martin Schmid, one of the doctors reporting the
case, said in an email.
Examination showed a hemorrhage in his left eye
and several tiny scars in his right eye.
After four months, his vision showed some improvement but remained moderately impaired,
Schmid said.
High-power devices like the one the teen bought
are advertised as laser pointers and look just like
low-powered versions, Schmid and colleagues
wrote.
“I’m stunned that a kid can get access to . . . this
type of power,” commented Dr. George Williams,
chair of ophthalmology at the Oakland University
William Beaumont School of Medicine in Royal Oak,
Mich.
“This is a legitimate public health menace,” said
Williams, a spokesman for the American Academy
of Opthalmology.
“Parents should be aware there are inappropriate
lasers available over the Internet.”
The FDA has warned in the past that it has found
laser pointers and toys that exceed the output limit
of five milliwatts — five-thousandths of a watt.
It rarely collects reports of eye-damage incidents
like the case in Switzerland, said FDA health promotion officer Dan Hewett, so it’s not clear how often
they happen.
His agency recommends that consumers make
sure laser pointer labels carry a designation of Class
IIIa or lower, along with a statement of compliance
with Chapter 21 CFR.
Hewett suggests consumers should look on the
label to make sure the power output is no more than
five milliwatts, or five mW.
But he stressed that even a laser product that
meets those conditions can cause eye
damage if a person stares into the beam long
enough.
“Just because it says five mW and Class IIIa, FDA
is not saying you can grab this laser and stare at it,”
he said.

No ptarmigan stomach? New Arctic diet program
offers healthy modern meal choices
EDMONTON (The Canadian Press) — Northern
aboriginals aren’t eating as much ptarmigan stomach as their grandparents did.
Caribou guts and bear liver aren’t for Sunday dinner so much anymore, either.
But those kinds of traditional Arctic
foods once provided essential nutrients
that the high-fat, high-salt, store-bought
foods that replaced them don’t.
And the results, according to a series of
15 papers published recently in the Journal
of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, are high
rates of obesity, diabetes and cancer across
the North.
“People would have usually eaten all
parts of the animal,” said Sangita Sharma,
chairwoman of aboriginal health at the
University of Alberta and one of the authors
of the mammoth, five-year study.
“Now, people don’t consume all parts of
the animal. And if they do, consumption of
traditional food is a lot less.
“The foods that are replacing those traditional foods are not so nutrient-dense.”
The western-Arctic Inuvialuit and eastern-Arctic Inuit were kept healthy for generations by food they harvested off the
land. But as their lifestyles shifted to a more
settled existence, their diet shifted to what
was available on the grocery shelves.
Sharma and her group carefully studied
the nutritional consequences in six Arctic
communities, three in the Northwest Territories and three in Nunavut.
She found that nearly two-thirds of adult
Inuvialuit and 72 per cent of Inuit were
obese.
More than 20 per cent of participating
Inuvialuit reported chronic diseases including heart problems, hypertension, diabetes and cancer.
She also found that deficiencies in vitamins A, B, D and E were common. Most
people lacked dietary fibre. Calcium and
iron were lacking in more than 60 per cent
of Inuit men and women.
Foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables
and dairy products provide those nutrients
in the south.
But in the North, those products are either dauntingly expensive or rendered unappealing by long transport times.
So Sharma’s group, with help from the
N.W.T. and Nunavut governments as well
as participation by northern grocers,
sought to come up with foods that would
be nutritious and inexpensive as well as
easy to transport and cook.
Using community feedback, they developed a short list of foods that the grocers
agreed to stock.
“We asked them to bring up wholewheat bread,” she said.
“They sold it for the same price as white
bread and gave away free samples for taste
tests in the store.
“We also asked then to bring up frozen
corn and frozen peas. If you’ve made a
beautiful char chowder, all you need to do
is go into the freezer and take a handful of
corn and throw it in.
“Same with frozen peas — you can just
throw them into muskox stew. It’s not only
delicious, it makes the whole dish that
much more nutritious.”
The products were backed up with instore taste tests and advice. Skim milk
powder was suggested instead of coffee
creamer. Directions were offered on baking
the traditional bread dish bannock instead
of frying it.
“We really let people know the nutritional value behind some of those foods,”
Sharma said.
The Healthy Foods North program has
been going on for about a year. Preliminary
results are encouraging.
The test communities have shown increased levels of vitamins A, D and E. Fibre
and folic acid are up and cholesterol is
down.
“We were able to increase the nutrient
intake of those nutrients that were consumed well below the recommended
amounts,” said Sharma.
The program is so successful that at
least 10 other northern communities want
in, she said.
Sharma said the Inuit aren’t unique.
Similar diet shifts have occurred all over
the world where aboriginal people have
adapted to modern eating. A little help with
the transition can often have significant
nutritional benefits.
“People generally don’t make new food
choices unless someone introduces it to
them,” Sharma said.
“We’re all creatures of habit.”

link is real or not.
Meanwhile, a group of French and Canadian scientists said it’s time to test whether antiviral medications
like those used against HIV might treat at least some
people with chronic fatigue.
The virus connection first made headlines last fall
when Nevada researchers reported finding a specific
type, named XMRV, in the blood of two-thirds of the 101
chronic fatigue patients they tested. But several other
studies, including one from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, failed to find XMRV virus in
patients, making researchers wonder if this was a false
alarm.
The study, published in Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, thickens the plot.
This time, NIH and Food and Drug Administration
scientists examined the blood of 37 chronic fatigue patients and again didn’t find XMRV — but instead they
found a group of closely related bugs named MLV-related viruses in 86 per cent of the cases.

WASHINGTON (The Associated Press) — A U.S. government
study has uncovered a family of mouse viruses in some
people with chronic fatigue syndrome, raising still
more questions about whether an infection may play a
role in the complicated illness.
The study does not prove that having any of these
viruses causes harm, stressed co-author Dr. Harvey
Alter of the National Institutes of Health.
But it strengthens suspicions, and the government
has additional research under way to determine if the
Testing of 44 healthy blood donors, in contrast,
found evidence of those viruses in nearly seven per
cent.
Various viruses have been linked to chronic fatigue
over the years only to fall by the wayside as potential
culprits in the mysterious illness thought to afflict
about one million Americans.
It’s characterized by at least six months of severe fatigue, impaired memory and other symptoms, but
there’s no test for it and no specific treatment.
These MLV, or “murine leukemia-related viruses,” are
known to cause some cancers in mice, and the XMRV
relative has been found in some human prostate tumours, too.
But there’s no easy way to test for it, meaning studies
of a link at this point must be in research labs, not doctors’ offices, FDA and NIH researchers said Monday.
No one knows how people become infected, but
Alter said a major study is under way to see if there’s
any evidence of transmission through blood.
In the meantime, federal regulations require that
blood donors be in good health, said FDA’s Dr. Hira
Nakhasi.

Exhibit studies history of plants from toxic precatory pea to naughty lodoicea
VALERIE HILL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CAMBRIDGE, Ont. — Behold
the lowly beans and seeds.
They have a tough exterior yet are soft on the inside. And they are the
bearer of all sorts of delights
for
humanity
throughout the ages: food,
medicine, toys, jewelry and
musical instruments.
“There are so many uses
for seeds it’s really fascinating to me,” said Adrienne
Brewster, executive director
and curator at Wings of
Paradise.
The Cambridge facility is
the site of the Royal Ontario
Museum’s travelling exhibit
“Seeds In Disguise: The Biology and Lore of Ornamental Seeds,” which looks
at the history of how seeds
and beans have been used
in cultures throughout the
world.
“They would make use
of the seeds for all sorts of
things,” she said.
The exhibit, on until Nov.
30, is set up in six display
cases, each with a specific
theme representing seeds
and beans from around the
world.
The precatory pea, for
example, woven into a
handmade pouch from
Afghanistan is tiny and
quite lovely, but the pea itself has been imbued by nature with a potent toxin
that acts as a herbicide to
keep neighbouring plants
in check. But if ingested by
humans or animals, it’s
deadly.
“It’s a fierce little seed,”
she said.
One of the more beautiful examples is the candlenut oil tree nut, native to
tropical rainforests in
places like the South Pacific.
This nut has such a high
concentration of oil that a
wick slipped inside will
burn vigorously.
Then
there
are
stinkwood seeds which are,
well, stinky. Lovely canna
lilies produce tiny, hard
seeds known as gunshot
seeds, used as noisemakers
when placed inside an
empty gourd or as beads in
jewelry.
Ivory-nut palm, also
known as vegetable ivory, is
as hard and equally as
lovely as elephant ivory and
often used as a substitute
for intricate carvings.
Prior to plastics, the vegetable ivory was also used
for buttons, particularly
during the Victorian era.
And then there are the
yummy edibles: sweetsop
that tastes like custard, coffee beans and all the delicious edible nuts.
The exhibit also explores
the “relationship between
seeds and animals” said
Brewer, noting seeds attract
birds, which in turn become seed dispensers, dis-
tributing the hard little
nuggets in excrement as
they fly.
The excrement acts as a
sort of fertilizer, providing a
good base for the seed to
start to grow kilometres
away from the parent plant.
“It’s a tactic the plant
puts in place to dispense its
seeds further,” she said.
The exhibit also explains
the connection between
plants that grow the seedfilled flowers, which in turn
attract insects, including
pollinators such as butterflies.
“I think some people
might not think there is a
connection between butterflies that rely on flowers,”
she said.
“Both are very much
connected: they’ve coevolved together.”
In the less exotic but
more profitable area of seed
production comes the
humble little corn plant.
“Corn has lots of commercial production of
seeds,” said Brewster as a
way of understatement.
Think of corn meal, corn
oil, kernel corn and corn
cattle feed, to name a few
products essential to
human nutrition.
The exhibit would not be
complete without a few exotics, such as the fanshaped lodoicea, native to
the Seychelles Islands.
This enormous palm has
the largest nut on record,

weighing more than 40 kilograms.
Removed from its tough
outer husk, the seed and
has a very suggestive shape,
much like the naked rear
end of a woman.
For Brewer, the history
and multitude of uses for
seeds was something new
and she said the public has
really embraced new ex-
hibit.
“I wear a lot of organic
jewelry,” she said. “I never
really connected them to
seeds, the stories they
might have.”

Memorabilia-laden barbershop a legend among neighbouring military
SANDY KLOWAK
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — It’s easy to overlook Hair Force Barbers.
Tucked away in an unassuming brick building across the
street from Winnipeg’s 17 Wing air force base, its existence
is indicated only by a tattered, sun-bleached barber’s pole.
But the men of the military — and savvy civilians —
know Hair Force Barbers is a great place for a shave, haircut and good company.
Owners Wally Choma and Terri Townsend have been in
the barbering business together for almost 25 years and
have run Hair Force Barbers for a decade, recently with the
help of employee Becky Larsen.
This cosy haven, jam-packed with history and friendly
faces, is located outside the base and is independent of the
air force, with whom they have a contract.
Military memorabilia — photos, badges, bayonets and
uniforms — plasters the walls of the small, homey shop.
Townsend’s golden-doodle, Dolce, lounges on the floor.
The friendly dog greets friends and customers — almost
all of whom Townsend and Choma know by name.
Choma and Townsend love their job. It’s the people who
make it special, they say.
“They’re a different clientele just because they’re worldtravelled, they see some pretty nasty things,” said
Townsend, who compared her job to that of a bartender
lending an ear to customers.
“Everyone comes in here and talks about everything,
but there’s no politics.”
In the barbershop, the rules of military life are suspended — no saluting necessary. It’s a place to unwind, debrief and be buddies.
“They’re all on equal footing — the general waits just as
long as the private waits,” Choma said.
Choma’s model airplanes line the walls of the shop,
among the other military treasures. Their memorabilia
collection is extensive, given to the pair piece by piece by
customers who come and go, leaving a bit of themselves
for others to enjoy.
Choma and Townsend have developed a strong connection to their clients and the lives they lead. The two have
been involved in several charity drives for troops overseas.
“They’ve made us a member of their community,” said
Townsend.
“You can’t help but get involved.”
Even strangers passing through Winnipeg can appreciate the shop’s charm. Captain and Commanding Officer
Kel Smith of the 12th Manitoba Dragoons in Virden has
visited many a military barbershop, trying haircuts at
Canadian Forces Base Halifax and CFB Esquimalt, among
others. He said Winnipeg’s shop exceeds them all.
“I would say this is the best one in Canada. I’m really
impressed,” Smith said. “All the things they had on the walls
make you feel just at home.”
In addition to the homey atmosphere, he said prices
there can’t be beat: Men’s haircuts are $9, seniors and military pay only $7.50. Coffee is free.
Retired military man Rick Burke comes in every day for
coffee and conversation. It’s the people here that keep him
coming back.
“These people here are outstanding individuals,” he
said, lounging in a waiting chair.
Not only that, their barbering services are excellent, he
said.
“I cheated on her once,” Burke said, describing the time
he tried a barber other than Townsend.
“Never again,” he said with a laugh.

instability, increased stress
and dysfunctional movement patterns.
There are three primary
groups of leg muscles to
consider when body-rolling.
These are the quadriceps,
hamstrings and calf muscles. The quadriceps (on the
front of the thigh) help to
flex your hip joint, and extend your leg at the knee
joint.
The hamstrings (on the
back of the thigh) assist in
extending your hip joint
and bending your leg at the
knee joint. Your calves
spend most of their time extending your ankle joint
while supporting your body
weight, but they also assist
in bending your leg at the
knee.
To keep these muscles
healthy, and performing optimally, we need to ensure
that they receive good blood
supply and remain supple
and flexible. This can be
aided by rolling them regularly.
As mentioned in last
week’s introduction, always
get your doctor’s approval
before trying any new fitness activity, and remember
to warm up before rolling
your muscles.
Quadriceps
Your quadriceps are one
of the larger and most
prominent muscle groups.
To roll your quadriceps effectively, position yourself
facing downward, with your
forearms on the floor with
your left leg bent and your
left thigh resting on a roller.
Your right leg should be
straight, with your toe on
the floor.
This will allow you to
control the amount of load
or force applied to the roller
and your left thigh. Begin
rolling high up on your
thigh near the front of your
hip joint and roll forward
and backward in small
movements.
Be sure to slowly rotate
your left leg inward and outward to work the quadriceps muscles on the medial
and lateral aspects of your
thigh as well. Gradually
work your way downward
toward the knee joint, being
careful not to put any pressure directly on the front of
the kneecap. If you find
points that are particularly
sore, hold the pressure on
these points until you feel
the tension release.
Hamstrings
To effectively roll your
hamstrings, start in a seated
position, with your legs
straight out in front of your
body. Position a roller under
one leg, at a point high on
your hamstring muscle,
near your buttock.
Raise your hips off the
floor by using your hands to
elevate your body, allowing
gravity and your body
weight to create the pressure on the roller.
Just as you did with the
quadriceps, initiate small
forward/backward movements on the roller, and remember to work toward the
inside and outside of the
thigh to effectively release
all of the muscles of the
hamstring group.
Gradually work the roller
toward your lower leg, being
careful not to put too much
pressure directly in the back
of the knee joint.
Rolling your hamstrings
on a Travel Roller or foam
roller won’t provide the
point pressure that a softball or myofascial ball will,
but it should give a good
general muscle release.

Parents, teachers should keep eye out for severe self-injury in teens
SHERYL UBELACKER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — By any objective
measure, the girl’s upper
arm was a mess. A painful,
pus-filled swelling about the
dimension of a paperback
novel had brought the 16year-old to hospital desperate for help.
X-rays and other imaging
scans discovered the reason: buried just under her
skin and into deeper tissues
were 20 foreign objects, including a 16-centimetrelong straightened-out paper
clip, a tiny screw from eyeglasses and 18 broken-off
graphite pencil tips.
It was a wound the teen
had inflicted herself.
“She made a cut and
then just kept pushing these
things in,” said Dr. William
Shiels, head of radiology at
Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
“And she had 20 fragments
in her arm.”
Known as embedding,
the behaviour is a severe
form of self-injury — a particularly nasty notch up
from the more common
practices of cutting and
burning.
Since 2003, Shiels and his
colleagues have detected
and treated self-embedded
objects in 11 adolescents
aged 14 to 18, two of them
boys.
In a study published this
week in the journal Radiol-
ogy, the researchers describe removing 68 of 76 foreign bodies the 11 teens had
burrowed into the flesh of
their arms, hands, neck, ankles and feet.
The list of items reads
like a hardware store’s product line: metal, glass, wood,
plastic and stone.
“One girl actually took
the teeth from her comb,
broke them off and embedded those,” Shiels said in an
interview from Columbus.
In other patients, the radiologists found chunks of
crayon, a plastic fork tine
and a nail-polish wand.
Beyond the obvious danger of infection, the presence of foreign bodies can
lead to keloids — raised and
red fibrous scar tissue
caused by excessive tissue
repair. And then there’s the
potential for unrelenting
pain.
“A bee sting can be
painful or just a small infected pimple can be
painful, but magnify that 50
times,” said Shiels, referring
to the 16-year-old with the
severely infected arm.
When he asked the teen
why she had embedded the
unfolded paper clip and
other objects, she explained
she was “just having emotional difficulties with life,”
said Shiels.
“The most common reason that we hear for this is
it’s a way to release the pain
that’s inside. So they have
some form of self-injury on
at least one occasion. Seventy-five per cent of those
were repeat self-abusers.
When Shiels’s team first
reported on their cases at a
medical meeting in late
2008, some people thought
self-embedding was a sporadic occurrence that didn’t
go much beyond Columbus.
But that’s far from the
case, he said. “Every city
we’ve spoken to health professionals in has had at least
one or two cases. When we
started reporting it, we
started getting people from
Saskatchewan that said,
‘Oh, we’ve had cases of this
before,’ or we’ve had people
from Toronto. So we know
that it is occurring in other
cities.”
Like other forms of selfinjury, embedding is not a
new phenomenon, said
Lader, noting that there
were cases in the mid-1890s
of women diagnosed as hysterics sticking pins in their
bodies.
What has changed, it
seems, is the age at which
such behaviour begins.
“I think we are starting to
see more of these things in
younger populations,” she
said. “Self-injury itself used
to be an obscure psychiatric
symptom and now it’s becoming a more mainstream
way of coping.”
“My concern is the more

something becomes more
mainstream, then people
need to find more
graphic or outstanding
ways (of self-harm): ‘Self-injury doesn’t work very well
any more, maybe I’ll try embedding.’
“It is still a pathological
way of dealing with feelings.”
Lader speculates that
rapid changes in society in
the last several decades —
higher divorce rates, more
blended families, the Internet and digital communica-
tion — have left many
young people feeling alienated.
“They want to believe
that somebody cares about
them, that they have a connection. And I don’t know
that kids today are sure that
anybody cares about them.
And this is a way of coping
with that.”
Shiels believes that for
most adolescent embedders, seeking treatment is a
cry for help beyond their
physical injuries.

Recipe for pesto chicken: garlic, basil add flavour
(The Associated Press) — This is
a great dish to prepare in the
morning and let marinate
all day. The pesto can even
be made a day ahead.
Serve the chicken with
plenty of pasta or rice to sop
up the sauce.
Head
Case
Pesto
Chicken
Start to finish: 1 hour (20
minutes active)
Servings: 4
1 small head garlic (about
8 cloves), peeled
125 ml (1/2 cup) extravirgin olive oil, plus 30 ml (2
tbsp) for frying
250 ml (1 cup) packed
fresh basil leaves
5 ml (1 tsp) kosher salt
0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) ground
black pepper
30 ml (2 tbsp) balsamic
vinegar
125 ml (1/2 cup) grated
Parmesan cheese
Pinch red pepper flakes
675 grams (1 1/2 pounds)
chicken breasts
250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose flour
60 ml (4 tbsp) (1/2 stick)
butter
In a food processor, combine the garlic, 125 ml (1/2
cup) of olive oil, basil, salt,
black pepper, vinegar,
Parmesan and red pepper
flakes. Pulse until chunky
smooth.
Transfer half of the pesto
to a glass or stainless-steel
baking dish. Cover the remaining pesto and refrigerate until ready to serve.
One at a time, lay each
breast on the counter and
carefully slice across the
centre horizontally to create
2 thin halves. Place each half
between sheets of plastic
wrap and use a meat mallet,
rolling pin or heavy skillet to
pound it to an even cutlet
about 0.6 cm (1/4 inch)
thick.
Place the chicken in the
baking dish with the pesto,
turning it to coat. Cover and
refrigerate for at least 30
minutes, or up to 8 hours.
When ready to cook, remove the reserved pesto
from the refrigerator and let
it come to room temperature.
Place the flour in a wide,
shallow bowl. Use a fork to
lift each piece of chicken
from the marinade and
dredge it through the flour,
lightly coating both sides.
In a large skillet over
medium-high heat, combine
the butter and remaining 30
ml (2 tbsp) of olive oil. Heat
until the butter is melted
and sizzling. Several pieces
at a time, fry the chicken
until lightly browned, 2 to 3
minutes. Turn and fry for
another 2 to 3 minutes, or
until cooked through. Repeat
with
remaining
chicken. To serve, drizzle the
chicken with the reserved
pesto.
This photo provided by Matthew Mead shows head case pesto
chicken from J.M. Hirsch’s cookbook , High Flavor, Low Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking. This recipe is named for the whole head
of garlic used in the pesto, which doubles as marinade and sauce. AP

Artists delve into digital arts mining web culture for inspiration
MICHAEL OLIVEIRA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Are the fruits of Googling art? Are catalogues of merchandise sold on eBay worthy of a museum?
Surely, many have scoffed at some of the
art of Steven Shearer, Canada’s representative at next year’s Venice Biennale, the
world-famous contemporary art exhibit.
But experts say his unconventional digital
works are an intriguing sign of the times.
Shearer’s work includes collages of images taken from the Internet, like Xmas
Trees II, a collection of dozens of photos of
Christmas trees, all arranged upside down.
Metal Archive Study is a scattering of
hundreds of photos of Black Sabbath merchandise taken from eBay. In describing
his work, Shearer has said he is “interested
in the times I’m living in and in the way the
past echoes in them.”
“Artists always use the tools that are of
the day — and the Internet is today,” said
the National Gallery of Canada’s senior curator of contemporary art, Josee Drouin-
Brisebois, who was part of a committee
that chose Shearer to exhibit in Venice.
“There are moments in artistic creation
when we see how artists can actually use
the tools that are out there. But (they) also
make us think about the tools (by) changing them slightly, (influencing) our appreciation or understanding of them.”
Drouin-Brisebois said artists’ use of the
Internet as an influence is not particularly
new, although it’s now becoming far more
common and overt. Shearer’s use of digital
images is not unlike how artists have used
photographs in their art.
“Whether they’re images from magazines or images from press clippings or
whatnot, I think artists are very interested
in media culture and the kinds of images
that are out there and how they define us
or how they try to define us,” she said.
“For me what’s interesting is how
(Shearer) uses it and just the fact he’s compiled these thousands and thousands of
images into these archives and seeing how
his brain works in terms of the associations that he creates from just these im-
ages that are out there.”
What’s also interesting about Shearer’s
work is how he’s exploring the new digital
archives of the Internet, which are often
user-created rather than curated by experts, said Gregory Burke, director of the
Power Plant gallery in Toronto.
“It’s a very different and distinct contribution I think he’s making in the way that
he’s using the Internet and recognizing the
Internet as a kind of new form and in many
ways a very public form of archive,” Burke
said.
“He builds up his own kind of files
sourced from completely disparate
sources from around the world, of different kinds of actions people are doing (online).”
University of Toronto lecturer Tracey
Bowen has researched and written about
art in today’s digital world and believes
we’re still far, far off from seeing artists
dabbling more with digital work than
using traditional tools.
“It’s the same as when photography
came along all those years ago there were
people saying, ‘Oh, well, painting is dead.’
Well, in the same way that the Internet has
come along, painting is not dead. These
kinds of classic arts are still very prominent in what we see,” Bowen said.
“As an artist, I don’t make computer
work. I’ve tried. I don’t like it, but I do use
the Internet to gain ideas.
“Lots of artists are looking at how we
gain information, the visual properties of
what we consume, and are commenting
on that, because it’s become part of our
every day. It very much affects how we
view the world and therefore how we express our experiences to the world.”
Similarly, Burke doesn’t think the Internet will overtake traditional galleries and
museums any time soon as the primary exhibit space for art, even digital art.
“Many find it limiting just to work in the
virtual world and they want to bring whatever they create through technology into a
gallery situation in some way,” he said.
“That’s where it becomes sort of more
interesting to create that link between the
virtual and the actual space.”
Videotron hopes to win mobile phone customers with bundle of services for less
MONTREAL (The Canadian Press) —
New wireless operator Videotron
will try to lure mobile phone users
in Quebec by offering lower prices
but new customers will also have
to take additional services like
home phone, television and Internet provided by the big cable TV
operator.
The so-called “quadruple play”
customer is being targeted by
Videotron, a Quebecor division
which launched its advanced
wireless network in Quebec on
Thursday.
“I feel we offer value to our customers and we want to recognize
our customers who are supporting us in terms of multiple products,” Videotron’s chief executive
Robert Depatie told a news conference.
“So for us, it’s value for your
money,” Depatie.
With technology blurring the
lines between cable and satellite
TV, wireline and wireless services,
a “bundling” strategy has been
used by communications companies such as Rogers, Bell Canada
and Telus to grow revenues and
and attract new customers.
At Videotron, the company is
offering a wireless phone plan
serving Montreal for $32.95 for a
“quadruple player” who also takes
home phone as well as basic TV
and Internet services, he said.
But customers called “single

plan would end up paying $42.50
for it, Depatie said.
Videotron will be competing
against established players
Rogers, Bell and Telus and new
wireless carrier Public Mobile in
Quebec.
The entry into Quebec’s mobile
market has been perceived by
some as a start to a price war
among wireless carriers, particularly Bell and Rogers, which dom-
inate most of the Quebec market.
Depatie said a price war has already started and noted how
prices have already come down
overall in the wireless industry.
“First and foremost we feel that
our pricing is extremely competitive. We offer more than price,”
Depatie said.

Pierre Karl Peladeau said the

What it’s like to suffer a hack attack on Twitter and how to survive it
CHRISTY LEMIRE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The Twitterverse is full of far more mysterious
forces
than
indecipherable trending
topics and Lady Gaga.
There are people out
there with dark, dastardly
intents, as I learned when
my account was hacked.
Now, anyone who knows
me knows I love Twitter. I
am a tweeting fool. I’ve
tweeted from backstage at
the Oscars and the red carpet at the Emmys. I’ve
tweeted from baseball
games and film festivals. I
even tweeted from my hospital bed, sleep-deprived
and loopy on pain meds,
the day after giving birth to
my son.
My husband often teases
me: “Oh, sorry, didn’t mean
to interrupt your Twittering, or whatever it is you’re
doing.’’
So yeah, I like social networking. And it’s not all
narcissistic nonsense; I’ve
never announced I was on
my way to get a mani-pedi,
for example.
But as the Associated
Press movie critic, I’ll always link to my reviews and
my colleagues’ good work,
or I’ll retweet something
funny from celebrities I follow. So you can imagine
how bummed I was last
week — and how violated I
felt — when I discovered
someone had nabbed my
Twitter feed and fired off
about 100 tweets in a matter of minutes.
Most of it was gibberish
about drug charges, sex, the
Galaxy Tab and Stephen
Hawking. Some profanity,
some weird trending topics.
Lots of links, none of which
I clicked on. It felt as if
someone had broken in and
rummaged through my
stuff with their grubby little
cyber paws.
Thankfully, the folks at
the Twitter Trust & Safety
Team noticed these uncharacteristic bursts of
links and suspended my account even before I could
get in there to change my
password.
Here’s how I found out I’d
been hacked: I was on vacation in New York with my
husband and my 10-monthold, Nicolas, and had taken
the baby to the Brooklyn
Children’s Museum to let
him escape the late summer heat and romp around.
When I finally checked
into Twitter from my phone
amid the din and chaos of
the museum’s cafe, I noticed I’d been pummeled
with mentions and direct
messages. I thought, “Huh,
I haven’t been doing anything too noteworthy today.
These babies are really
high-tech.’’ But then I realized they all said variations
of the same thing: As
(at)ProgGrrl put it so well,
“Your account has been
hacked, it’s spewing all
sorts of rubbish at us.’’
But I wasn’t the only one
that day. As Trust & Safety
director Del Harvey explained, I was one of several
people attacked by a larger
network of sites outside the
United States. Many of
those links sent out
through my account went
back to Canadian pharmacies.
My account may have
been
compromised
through a process called
phish-spam-phish, which
Harvey said is one of the
most common patterns on
the Internet.
A hacker will phish for
usernames and passwords,
then send out spam
through those people’s accounts, then use links to
phish for more.
It’s also possible that
someone I follow on Twitter with a compromised account sent me a message
with a link attached to it,
then I clicked on it thinking
it was something I could
trust, and allowed access to
my information that way.
Once Twitter suspended
my account, I filed an appeal detailing what had
happened, what my username is and when I last had
access to it.
To prevent something
like this from happening to
you, be extremely aware of
the links you click on, Harvey said. And while the
dilemma of finding a totally
secure password will never
be solved, she said you can
make it harder for someone
to figure out yours by having different passwords for
different sites.
Another
suggestion:
Take the lyrics of a song you
like, then take the first letter
from each word in the first
line and make that your
password. For Harvey’s example, Marc Cohn’s Walking in Memphis, that would
be “pombss’’ for “Put on my
blue suede shoes.’’ Adding
punctuation makes it even
tougher to crack.
Armed with my own
new password — and no,
it’s not “pombss’’ — I’m
back up and tweeting again.
Facebook a big hit with narcissists and people with low self-esteem: study
THE CANADIAN PRESS
A new study of Canadian university students suggests Facebook is
a magnet for narcissists and people with low self-esteem.
Participants who were deemed
narcissistic and others shown to
have a lower self-esteem spent
more time on the massively popular social-networking website,
the York University research
found.
Researcher
Soraya
Mehdizadeh also found that these
people use Facebook as a means
of self-promotion.
Mehdizadeh, who is now
preparing for medical school, admits the sample group of just 100
participants from such a specific
demographic doesn’t necessarily
reflect everybody who uses Facebook.
But she expects the findings to
prompt the site’s users, who number roughly 16 million in Canada,
to take a closer look at themselves
— and their Facebook “friends.’’
“I think people get sort of defensive about it, like: ‘I don’t use
my Facebook for that reason’ —
because it’s a label that you don’t
want to be slapped with,’’
Mehdizadeh said in an interview
Tuesday.
The research, undertaken two
years ago, studied the online
habits and personalities of 50 female and 50 male Facebook users
between the ages of 18 and 25.
Participants, all York students,
took psychological tests that
measured their sense of self-esteem and assessed their levels of
narcissism. Sections of their Facebook pages were also examined.
The study was published last
month in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking.
The findings suggest differences between the men and
women who use Facebook.
The women surveyed were
more likely to self-promote
through a carefully selected main
photo that might offer a flashy or
revealing image of their physical
appearance.
Male participants promoted
themselves more though written
postings describing themselves in
the “About Me’’ or “Notes’’ sec-
tions.
“It’s really interesting to look at
the differences between the online self and the off-line self and to
sort of bridge the gap between the
two,’’ Mehdizadeh said of the research, part of her undergraduate
thesis.
She painted Facebook as an
ideal setting for narcissists who
can monitor how many “friends’’
they have.
It can also serve as a “social lubricant’’ for those with low self-esteem, since it’s so easy for them to
connect with so many people.

Bank of Canada warns of ‘unusual uncertainty,’ but still hikes interest rate
JULIAN BELTRAME
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is continuing to push up interest rates despite conceding that the recovery is weakening and
that an “unusual uncertainty” hovers over
the country’s economic future.
The central bank hiked the policy rate a
quarter point for the third time in about as
many months Sept. 8, this time taking the
overnight setting to one per cent. It had
been as little as 0.25 per cent as recently as
June.
Some economists said the bank’s hawkish accompanying statement that downplayed the recent slowdown means more
hikes are in the offing this fall unless the
economy suffers a further setback.
That appears to have been the market
interpretation. The Canadian dollar
jumped more than a cent on the news and
was trading above 96 cents US for most of
the day.
The policy rate will have the immediate
effect of raising short-term lending costs,
such as variable mortgages and lines of
credit.
Most of the major lenders announced
they would hike their prime rate a quarter
point to three per cent, effective Sept. 9.
But economists, and the bank itself,
noted that the increases have yet to be
passed on to longer-term rates, such as
fixed mortgages, which are tied to the
resurgent bond market.
“As a result of monetary policy measures
taken since April, financial conditions in
Canada have tightened modesty but remain exceptionally stimulative,” the bank

said. Even at one per cent, the policy rate is
below inflation and well south of the three
to four per cent range most consider a normal overnight setting.
Economists say the hikes have had minimal impact on the real economy so far, although the loonie’s surge suggests the
bank’s actions have not been totally without consequence.
In an explanation, the bank’s governing
council blamed U.S. economic weakness —
not its slow withdrawal of monetary stimulus — for the sharper-than-expected
slowdown in the pace of growth in Canada.
In fact, the bank’s governing council
downplays last week’s second-quarter finding that growth slowed to two per cent,
after a 5.8 per cent advance in the first three
months of the year. The Bank of Canada
had expected a three per cent increase in
output as late as July.
“Economic activity in Canada was
slightly softer in the second quarter than
the bank had expected, although consumption and investment have evolved largely as
anticipated,” the council wrote.
“Going forward, consumption growth is
expected to remain solid and business investment to rise strongly.”
Economists at IHS Global Insight, who
have generally been critical of central
banker Mark Carney for moving ahead of
his G7 peers in tightening monetary policy,
agree the latest hike is unlikely to impact
the economy.
But that’s because the “global bond markets are driving long-term rates lower and
generating easier credit conditions — essentially doing the bank’s job for it in a vicarious twist of fate,” they say.
Still, Bank of Montreal economist Douglas Porter believes Carney is taking some
risk given the recent weakness in economic
indicators.
After strong gains, employment slid in
July. Meanwhile, Canada’s red hot housing
market has turned cooler, although an
analysis Wednesday by the Conference
Board predicted there will not be a free-fall
in housing in Canada as happened south of
the border.
Porter said continued tightening could
dampen borrowing, further slowing down
house sales and construction. Meanwhile,
a stronger dollar depresses exports and encourages imports to the detriment of local
suppliers.
“I don’t see it as a big risk yet, however,”
said Porter. “I think it would take a substantial downward surprise for the bank not to
raise further in October.”
On that point, economists are divided.
TD Bank chief economist Craig Alexander
says he sees Carney in a strictly “reactive
mode,” and predicts he will proceed on the
tightening track only if the economic indicators improve.
One key signal of where the economy is
headed will come Friday when Statistics
Canada releases the employment data for
August.
Alexander said he believes Carney may
want to raise rates but will be forced back
to the sidelines by deteriorating economic
conditions.
He notes that Carney’s forecasts for
growth in 2011 have been tracking down,
from 3.5 per cent in January, to 3.1 per cent
in April to the current projection of 2.9 per
cent in the governor’s report delivered in
July.
“I think the economy is going to grow at
about two per cent in 2011, and not the 2.9
per cent the bank forecast in July,” he said.
The Bank of Canada appears to be reluctant to abandon what many consider an
optimistic view on the recovery, however.
In its statement, the bank concedes that
growth has been lower than expected and
will be more muted going forward, but uses
the modifier “slightly” to characterize the
extent of the change.
But analysts question how much further
Carney can go with the United States,
Canada’s largest trading partner, contemplating more stimulus. The gap between
the U.S. and Canadian policy setting is now
a full percentage point.
“Any time we’ve been more than two
percentage points above the U.S., it’s
spelled trouble,” said Avery Shenfeld, chief
economist with CIBC World Markets.

Being a mama’s boy may make men less depressed, more sensitive
4544843-090310TH
TORONTO — When Mike Richard was a teenager, Dad was
the one who took him to his hockey and lacrosse games,
but when he had “issues,” he turned to Mom.
“We’d have sit-down chats,” says the 24-year-old, who
remembers asking his mom for advice when a high-school
relationship was coming to an end.
“She had all the right things to say.”
Although Richard credits both his parents for bringing
him up right, his mom might be the one to thank for nurturing his sensitivity and communication skills through
those awkward adolescent years.
His new wife might want to thank her, too.
Richard, who is training as an actuary at a Toronto insurance company, got married three weeks ago.
New research suggests boys who are close to their
mothers are better at shunning the macho stereotypes that
interfere with their relationships — and often their mental
health.
In a longitudinal study of 426 boys in middle schools in
New York, developmental psychologist Carlos Santos
found that many Grade 6 boys were able to resist or reject
gender norms that say boys should be physically tough, unemotional and independent.
But as the same boys got older, entering Grades 7 and 8
and inching closer to high school, more of them bought
into those same stereotypes.
The ones who still resisted them, however, were less
likely to be depressed and more likely to have close relationships with their mothers, but not necessarily with their
fathers.
“The extent to which boys felt they were supported by
their mothers was significantly associated, almost across
the board, with their ability to resist these macho stereotypes over the course of middle school,” Santos says.
Although he doesn’t have any data that explains why
this is the case, Santos thinks boys who are close to their
mothers might be using that relationship as a model for
others.
It’s more than just a matter of becoming good husband
material.
“Resistance to these stereotypes carry real consequences to boys’ mental health and their well-being,” Santos says.
A well-established body of research backs this up. Studies have shown, for example, that grown men who think
it’s important to be autonomous are less likely to ask for
medical help when they need it.
In Santos’ study, the boys who thought it was OK to
share their feelings and lean on others also had better
mental health, as measured by the Children’s Depression
Inventory.
Niobe Way, a developmental psychologist from New
York University who mentored Santos during his dissertation, says teenage boys learn to adhere to gender stereo-
(they have travelled together to 15 countries), isn’t afraid
to be frank.
“If you’re raising a feminist son, you are alienating him
from his male peer group,” she says. “You are turning him
into a misfit. But it’s a good thing. And I’m hoping if enough
mothers do it, they won’t be misfits.”
Richard says he’s always been bigger and stronger than
most of his friends, and that they’ve never teased him
about being sensitive or close to his mom.

types to the detriment of their social and emotional wellbeing.
For her upcoming book “Deep Secrets: Boys, Friendships and the Crisis of Connection,” Way followed 200 boys
for more than five years. She was awed by the intimate
friendships the boys described during their younger
teenage years. In a sentence that could be uttered by a therapist, a 15-year-old named Marcus said, “sometimes you
need to spill your heart out to somebody and if there’s nobody there, then you gonna keep it inside, then you will
have anger.”
But things started to change around age 16. Vulnerability and sadness became anger and frustration.
Way says 16 is the age when boys start to get the message that they need grow up and be a man. And in our culture, male maturity is defined by independence, not by
having supportive close relationships.
Way’s theory is that mothers foster their sons’ resistance to stereotypes of masculinity. Women have been
raised in a culture in which they are allowed to be emotionally and socially expressive, and tend to mother in the
same way, she says.
Fathers tend to perpetuate masculine stereotypes with
more ferocity than their partners, although mothers do it,
too — out of fear that their sons will be called mama’s boys,
or girlish, needy or gay.
Andrea O’Reilly, director of the Motherhood Initiative
for Research and Community Involvement and the mother
of a 26-year-old son, is all too aware of this.
She edited a book published in 2001 called “Mothers
and Sons: Feminism, Masculinity and the Struggle to Raise
our Sons,” one of the few books on the topic, particularly
at that time.
She says that even if mothers are challenging patriarchy,
they’re still raising their sons in a patriarchal society where
they are expected to be macho, strong and independent.
Other writers such as Olga Silverstein and William Pollack have argued that mothers actually begin to pull away
from their sons when they reach a certain age because they
are afraid of emasculating them as they approach adulthood. They say men are deeply wounded by this, and that
it may drive them toward reckless behaviour.
