Readers, I encourage all of

Parents of fat kids refuse to see problem: survey
SHARON KIRKEY
POSTMEDIA NEWS
Canada’s pediatricians say it isn’t just a lack
of dietitians and resources that keeps them
from helping overweight kids. It’s also the
parents who don’t see a problem.
More than 60 per cent of 860 pediatricians and family doctors surveyed in a
newly published study identified parents
who are overweight themselves, parents
who become defensive when the topic of
their child’s weight is raised and parents
who show little interest in helping their
child lose weight as key barriers to curbing
the growing numbers of children who are
growing up fat.
Doctors also said they lack the professional training, resources and time needed
to deal with the burgeoning problem of
childhood obesity.
The survey, the first of its kind in Canada,
was conducted in 2005-06. Doctors say the
same issues exist today, only magnified by
ever-rising rates in overweight children.
“We haven’t documented until this
paper how ill-prepared we are in terms of
resources and parental attitudes,” says Dr.
David Lau, president of Obesity Canada and
a professor of medicine at the University of
Calgary, who was not involved in the research.
“This is a phenomenon that is happening all across the country.”
According to Statistics Canada, 17 per
cent of children in Canada are overweight;
nine per cent are obese. The proportion of
teenage boys classified as overweight or
obese has more than doubled since 1981,
climbing from 14 per cent, to 31 per cent in
2009. Among teenage girls, it increased from
14 per cent to 25 per cent.
Among both teenage boys and girls, the
proportion whose waist size puts them at
high or increased risk of health problems
has more than tripled.
FOR SUNDAY TIMES
With almost two weeks passed since the
first fall frost of Sept 16 and 17, the extent
of the frost damage to crops should now be
apparent. Decisions on what to do with the
crops that were quite immature prior to
frost have already been made for the most
part. Assessing frost damage on the crops
that were nearing maturity is more difficult and often may not be apparent until
harvesting it. Frost damage not only depends on the
temperature, but also how long the temperature remained below zero. The
weather prior to the frost was quite cool
and wet, therefore most crops had a
chance to acclimatize. Moisture on the
crop may also decrease the frost damage,
but only for a short time. Because of this,
some crops may have been able to escape
severe damage from the freezing temperatures.
As crops approach maturity, the frost
tolerance increases since the moisture
content in the seed is decreasing. For cereal crops in the mid dough to hard dough
stage, temperatures at -4C can cause damage to the bran, germination and result in

However, his idea that a married
woman cannot be a maid of
honor is incorrect, and his objection that there’s something wrong
with your walking down the aisle
or being photographed with the
best man is ridiculous. So tell
your husband (sweetly) that he’ll
be missed at the wedding, and if
he’s more comfortable not attending it’s OK with you.

Why do crows migrate
and ravens stay?
KIMBERLY J. EPP
BEYOND YOUR BACKYARD
You have probably noticed
that while crows migrate
southerly, ravens have been
making way to many nontraditional areas, over winters, more and more. Why is
it that a crow has to migrate
while a raven doesn’t need
to? Migration happens not
because of it getting too
cold but rather due to the
inability to find appropriate
food in colder temperatures.
But only part of the crow
population migrates. Usually they fly in small groups
of a dozen or a few dozen.
Crows that stay for the winter seem to stay in pairs.
Presumably they are the
adults who are better able to
feed themselves than the
younger birds that are
forced to migrate. Crows

raven is a “jack-of-all-trades”
as it feeds in several different ways and finds many
different foods. Ravens are
quick to exploit new food
sources and remember how
they did so. Ravens will even
cache (bury) pieces of meat
in the ground to eat at a
later time. In fact they may
also call predators to larger
portions of meat, wait for
them to rip it into smaller
pieces, then steal from the
caches of the smaller pieces
hidden for future use by the
predators. Or at least that is
what the predators think.
In urban areas, ravens
often develop new ways of
accessing food as well. For
example, if they cannot
open a nut, they have been
known to drop the nuts into
busy intersections, waiting
for the cars to drive over and
crush them, then dive down
and grab the nut that is now
out. Ravens, crows, even
magpies have been known
to use tools as well, another
sign of their intelligence.
Ravens will make short
migrations from farther
north, and have been seen
in areas where they previously have not been seen.
Ravens and crows are in the
corvid family, and are considered the most intelligent
of the birds. Noting intelligence comes from the birds
engaging in play, and young
ravens are the most playful
of any bird species.

Forum held to address senior and caregiver concerns
MYLES FISH
MOOSE JAW TIMES-HERALD
Senior citizens and their caregivers were taught who to call
in times of crisis and how to look after themselves to best
avoid those difficult times in a event on Wednesday at Pioneers Lodge.
The Seniors and Caregivers Forum featured presentations on accessing long-term care, falls prevention, hearing
aids, home oxygen, flu shots and MEDIchairs and other
senior transport options. The afternoon gathering was organized by the Five Hills Health Region (FHHR) and held
at the residence in conjunction with Seniors’ Week celebrations which also included a fall tea and bake sale and a
penny parade.
Jill Andrews, recreation co-ordinator at Pioneers Lodge,
said the event was held to address a number of the concerns of local seniors and caregivers. Many people simply
are not prepared for the time when a senior needs assistance, and do not know where to start to find help.
“If you have some of that information, you’re better able
to make that transition for your loved one. It is a really trying time as it is. There are a lot of things in the community
that we can access, but people just don’t know how to access them or even that they’re available,” said Andrews.
She said the FHHR Access Centre, not residences like
hers, should be the starting point for persons looking to a
transition to long-term care for themselves or loved ones.
The centre will assess peoples’ needs and determine where
they should end up, she said.
The forum was being held for the first time, and the
turnout was rather disappointing, said Andrews. “We’re hoping the people who actually came spread the
word to other people and pass on their knowledge so we
can have another one down the road.
“It is important information that can help people live in
their houses longer,” she said.

Ways children can be philanthropic
(Metro Services) — During a
season when it seems
more emphasis is placed
on receiving gifts than
doing much giving, children can learn the benefits of doing work that
benefits others.
Volunteering or other
philanthropic endeavors
can teach important life
lessons and help kids feel
good about themselves in
the process.
According to radio
host and rabbi Shmuley
Boteach, “When we don’t
give kids responsibilities,
we pay the price.
“Kids can become lazy
and complacent and too
self-focused. Volunteering and giving back prevents that and helps
others.”
There are many ways
children can get involved,
whether working alongside their parents or
doing activities all on
their own.
Here are some age-appropriate volunteer ideas.
5 to 8: Children of this
age tend to like doing
things with their hands.
Activities that foster this
enjoyment are beneficial
to all.
Ideas for kids to consider include working at a
soup kitchen or helping
parents deliver food to
needy individuals. They
can also be an asset at a
senior center, playing
board games with the elderly who may not have
grandchildren of their
own.
9 to 13: Adolescents
can partake in volunteer
work that enables them
to be a bit more independent.
A good idea is for kids
to volunteer to do work
around the neighborhood
for different neighbors.
Perhaps
someone
needs help maintaining
the front lawn.
Someone else may appreciate snow shoveling
services.
Older children can
help shop for groceries
for house-bound individuals.
14 and up: Teenagers
can do activities that fit
with their ideals.
Maybe they want to
help clean up a beach or a
park.
Others can help renovate an abandoned lot
into a skateboard park or
kids play area.
Kids may want to volunteer at school by being
mentors to younger students.
There are so many opportunities.
Keep in mind that parents should not force
their children to volunteer.
It should be a completely voluntary process.
Bring up the idea and talk
about the benefits of
being generous to others.
Chances are kids will
want to get involved one
way or another.
Playing board games with seniors is a form of volunteerism for children. MS photo
New hope for those
at risk for Alzheimer’s
Scientists are still racing to find a cure for Alzheimer’s
disease. Although there currently is no cure for
Alzheimer’s, evidence points to strategies individuals can
take to help slow the onset of the disease or help prevent
memory loss.
Although the symptoms and onset of Alzheimer’s disease are most notable during a person’s senior years, scientists say that the neurological changes of Alzheimer’s
actually may start much earlier on — as early as when a
person is in his or her 20s. A frantic lifestyle, poor dietary
choices and inactivity can contribute to Alzheimer’s over
one’s lifetime. Recognizing behaviors or other habits that
may contribute to Alzheimer’s is the first step to making
changes to prevent the condition.
Here are some facts to consider.
* Obesity can increase risk for Alzheimer’s.
* Smoking after the age of 65 makes a person almost
80 percent more likely to develop Alzheimer’s.
* Diabetics are twice as likely to get the disease.
* Genetics are only responsible for about one-quarter
of Alzheimer’s cases.
Although there aren’t any magic pills or potions, there
are easy things anyone can do to reduce risk of
Alzheimer’s disease.
* Stop smoking and greatly reduce alcohol intake.
* Manage diet to control or prevent diabetes.
* Avoid activities that can lead to head injuries.
* Eat a balanced diet, and one that limits processed
foods.
* Enjoy brain-friendly foods, such as those high in
Omega fatty acids.
* Make attempts to reduce stress.
* Avoid a sedentary lifestyle and behaviors that lead
to obesity.
* Prevent high cholesterol and hypertension.
* Get plenty of sleep and restorative rest.
* Keep the mind active with puzzles, reading and
other thought-inducing activities.
The Mayo Clinic reports that exercise is very important to keeping Alzheimer’s at bay. In fact, it may be the
most important component of preventing the disease.

OPINION

Open letter to SK premier
and tourism minister
Dear Sirs,
I am a resident of the Village of Elbow. I am seriously disenchanted by the failure of
our Provincial Government to engage their responsibilities and undertake urgent remedial repairs to the northwest shoreline of the Elbow Harbour Marina Peninsula.
The attached photographs were taken on 20th September, 2010, and exemplify the extent of the deterioration.
On September 19th I sent the following email to: premier@gov.sk.ca and
minister.tpcs@gov.sk.ca
'The Hon. Premier Brad Wall
The Hon. Minister Bill Hutchinson
I beg your priority attention to address the shameful deterioration of one of the province's
greatest tourist and recreational assets.
The rate of erosion along the northwest shoreline of the peninsula and environs over the
past three weeks is beyond precedent. Continued delay in addressing shoreline remediation
may well result in the disappearance of the peninsula altogether!
Present high water levels and continued northwesterly winds and water action are rapidly
removing huge amounts of material.
Extensive overhangs pose significant risk to persons, children and pets venturing near the
shoreline in this Provincial Park.
I urge your attention to address the risks associated with the overhangs as, from the surface, their extent and instability is not apparent.
I am privileged to hear visitors from far and wide express amazement and wonder at this
jewel-on-the-prairie.
It is an embarassment to try to explain the seeming failure of responsible stewardship regarding its care and sustainability.
Time is of the essence.
Respectfully submitted,
Bill Nike.
In the hope and expectation that, in the interest of the legacy of our environment and
the pleasure of citizens and visitors alike, you can raise consciousness and encourage response to this very real problem.
In gratitude,
Bill Nike

Aging is a natural occurrence. It starts from the
day you are born, and continues through the
life stages. Healthy eating and other lifestyle
practices can play a role in how well you age.
You can enjoy L.I.F.E. during this process:
“L” is for Lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle can
help you feel well and look your best. You can
achieve balance in your life by being physically
active most days, and enjoying the pleasure of
healthy eating.
“I” is for independence. Healthy eating now
can promote independence in later years, by
helping to protect you from long-term illnesses.
“F” refers to food. When making food
choices, follow Canada’s Food Guide, as it applies to adults:
Enjoy 7-10 servings of Vegetables and Fruit
every day. Deeply coloured fruits and vegetables have more nutritional value. Good examples are broccoli, spinach, squash, cantaloupe
and oranges.
Include 6-8 servings of Grain Products daily.
Choose whole grains such as brown rice, multigrain breads, and cereals. They will contribute
fibre to your diet, which will help to prevent
constipation and may help to lower cholesterol. Remember to drink plenty of fluids at the
same time.
Have 2-3 servings of Milk and Alternatives
daily. Choose lower fat milk, yogurt, cheese and
fortified soy beverages to keep bones healthy
with less fat.
Include 2-3 servings of Meat and Alternatives every day. Choose lean cuts of meat and
poultry most often. If you like fish, eat it twice
a week for the heart-healthy fats it contains.
Beans and lentils are good low fat, high fibre
choices as well.
“E” is for enjoyment. The older adult years
are not a time to retire your taste buds! Planning and cooking nutritious meals for one or
two can be fun and easy. Try some of these tips:
Share a potluck meal with friends, or start a
“community kitchen” and set a regular time
each month to prepare meals together. These
meals can be frozen, and reheated on a day
when cooking is not an option.
When eating alone, choose a pleasant spot
to eat, such as by a window. In good weather,
eat outside on your porch or balcony.
Make meals a special part of your day. The
more attractive your food looks, the better it
tastes! Use a colourful placemat, your favourite
dishes, or a flower or candle.
Do something you enjoy while you eat, such

Falls and older adults
Each year, thousands of older
adults in Saskatchewan are
injured when they fall. Falls
can result in physical, social,
and emotional trauma and
loss of independence. The
good news is that active,
physically strong seniors have
better balance, and they are
less likely to fall. They also
have a better chance of avoiding or recovering from a fall
related injury.
Falls put older adults at
risk of injury, disability, and
death. 40% of all nursing
home admissions among
Canadian seniors occur as a
result of a fall (Public Health
Agency of Canada, Division of
Aging and Seniors, 2005).
Older adults who have fallen
may lose confidence in their
ability to move around. Being
less active can affect their
health and independence for
the worse and further increase their risk for more falls.
Most falls happen during
day-to-day activities:
➤ Standing up too quickly
➤ Rushing
➤ Changing direction quickly
to avoid bumping into

Ed Moody a local senior talks about his adventures in
Germany. He joined the Navy as a young man and had a
chance to see some of the most remote and exotic places
in the world. These are his recollections from his trip to
a German circus in the late 1060’s.
He recalls the circus being very large; it could seat
about a 100 people easily. It had a big horse shoe-shaped
bar and the floor was divided in tiers on different levels,
each a level up from the center stage. They had these tables and chairs on the tiers and from there you could
phone any table you wanted. In between the chatter and
the commotion, they had people tight rope walking and
doing all sorts of acrobatic acts on the center stage. It
was quite a neat set-up. He recalls; we sat at the bar,
about 5 or 6 guys. There we were having a couple of shots,
when they brought this what sort of looked like a big
donkey or a mule. It looked half asleep anyways. What
they were proposing is that someone (a brave soul)
should get on this one’s back and stay for 30 seconds. If
you did this, you would get free entertainment for the
night; anything you wanted to eat or drink, would be on
the house. On top of that if you stayed on the donkey for
30 seconds, the house gave everybody in the place free
drinks, courtesy of you. In effect what all of this meant is
that if you did all of this, you would become an instant
hero.
We had a couple of more shots and the guys kept saying; ‘you’re a westerner get on there!’ They were all these
east coast guys; ‘get on that bloody mule and get us some
free shots!’ I wasn’t all too sure about it. You know they
(donkeys) are not nearly sleepy as you think they are. So
finally I decided to get on him. I got up there and I’m just
sitting there. All of a sudden, his back side whips me up
and I start heading over his head. I saw stars for a second.
So I grabbed a hold of him with both hands and now I’m
on his head and neck. He started moving around like a
tornado. You have no idea how long 30 seconds is! In the
background I could hear everybody cheering and the
lights are just flying around me. I was getting really dizzy.
Then the bell rang and a monstrous cheer goes up in the
place. When I heard this, I just let go. I skidded out into
the wall, with sawdust and shavings being forced into my
underwear.
But this was ‘it’, I was instant hero. When I sat down,
the phone was ringing with calls from all the other tables
to congratulate me. The ladies were asking about us. And
of course it turned into a quite the party. Everyone of
course got a free round of drinks and some came over to
shake my hand. I was so dizzy that I couldn’t get up. I had
to sit for 50 minutes to even try getting up on my feet. But
that is just another story. It happened a long, long time
ago.
Enjoy healthy aging

Cats and dogs:
Microchipped to help find them quickly!
Your veterinarian cares for your small animals by examining them and vaccinating them. He or
she also gives you advice on the care your animals need to ensure a long life so that you can
enjoy their company for years to come. When they get lost, vets can also help you find them
more easily, which can save their lives and help avoid great sadness. The theme of this year’s
animal Health Week, from October 3 to 9, is pet identification and bears the slogan “Lost and
Found.” This is a perfect opportunity to make an appointment with your veterinarian and have
your pet microchipped.
A tag or collar is good but a microchip is better! Microchip identification for small animals is
becoming more and more common. A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit
which is inserted by a veterinarian under the skin at the back of your
pet’s neck. The implant is the size of a large grain of rice. The
procedure is very quick and is as painless as a vaccination. If your cat
or dog runs away from home or gets lost during a picnic in the
country, it’s much more likely that he will be returned to you if he
has a microchip implant.
Animal shelters, veterinary clinics and animal pounds are all places
equipped with scanners to quickly detect an animal’s microchip and
read the registered information regarding the animal’s owner. These
days, almost everyone agrees on the utilisation of one type of
technology which means most microchips use the same frequency.
A tag or a collar is good but a microchip is better! Ask your
veterinarian to implant this technology, the size of a grain of
rice, into your small animals.
Veterinarians are public
health experts
Veterinarians working in the
food industry are vital to
public health; the faster a
diagnosis is made, the more
efficiently the traceability
system can play its role.
By caring for animal health and by participating in the
identification of those raised for meat (cows, sheep, lambs and
game animals such as deer), veterinarians working with large
animals ensure our food safety and play an important role in
public health. Animal Health Week, to be held from October 3rd
through to the 9th, will highlight the vital role these health
professionals play in animal identification. The theme and slogan
this year is, “Lost and Found.”
Traceability is the term used when an animal’s origins, history and
movements can be traced right up until it reaches the dinner
table. Since recent health crises
affected the food industry — Mad Cow, Foot and Mouth or
Scrapie, the slaughter of huge numbers of animals and the
realization that there was a possibility of transmission of certain
animal diseases to humans — much closer attention has been
given to identifying animals raised for meat. All bovine, bison
and ovine animals must bear registered ID tags in
both ears, one electronic and the other printed,
with a 15 digit identification number.
When an illness is diagnosed, traceability allows for the
rapid detection of which animals have been in contact
with each other, in order for the necessary sanitary
measures to be taken and to limit losses. Veterinarians are
responsible for ensuring this detection and through rapid
diagnoses, are able to ensure that the traceability system works
efficiently. On this basis, veterinarians are true experts in
public health!

should be part of keeping a pet healthy. Not only does the
vet give pets annual vaccinations that can prevent common diseases, but also the vet will examine the animal to
diagnose or catch illnesses early. If a pet is not acting normally, consult the vet.
5. Groom the pet regularly. Some animals groom themselves. Others can use the help of nail clipping, bathing and
fur cutting to keep in top form. Matted fur can pull at the
skin and cause irritation. Dogs and cats may lick or bite at
a wound and cause more trouble. Long nails can impede
a bird’s ability to hold food or a perch. In general, a clean
pet is a happy pet.
6. Know pet dangers around the house. Pet-proof the
home just as one would baby-proof it. Keep chemical products locked up so they cannot be consumed. Certain products smell sweet and inviting to unsuspecting pets, but
consumption can be deadly. Even certain houseplants can
be toxic if eaten.
7. Avoid “people” food. Certain fruits and vegetables can
be supplemented in a pet’s diet (consult with a veterinarian). However, on the whole, limit the amount of human
food that pets eat. It may not provide the nutritional value
the animal needs and can contribute to obesity. Foods like
raisins, grapes, onions, and macadamia nuts can be toxic
to dogs and cats, and should be avoided.
8. Show interest in the pet. A pet needs a certain level
of interaction to be content. Discipline, affection and exercise with a pet parent are key components of animal
health.

(Metro Services) — Most people view their pets as an extension of the family. Therefore, pet parents are interested in
the best ways to ensure their dogs, cats, birds, or small
mammals are healthy and happy.
It doesn’t take much to keep a pet healthy, but these
steps are essential for the well-being of the animal. An individual who is not able to provide the general care for a
pet — whether financially or emotionally — should reconsider if it is the right time to bring a bet into the household.
A pet that is well cared for can live many years and provide
great rewards.
1. Choose healthy foods. Many commercially prepared
foods are full of fillers and sugars instead of fresh meats
and grains. Although it may cost a bit more, pet food that
is primarily good quality meat and grains with minimal
preservatives or artificial colorings can keep a pet in better
form. Diet can affect health in a number of ways, including
energy levels and coat appearance. So good health begins
with good food.
2. Keep fresh water handy. All animals should be given
fresh water that is routinely changed. Bacteria and viruses
can multiply in water that is left sitting around. Plus, there
may be other contaminants in unfiltered water that’s left
stagnant. If a person wouldn’t drink the water, it shouldn’t
be offered to a pet.
3. Exercise your pet. All animals need exercise to be
healthy. Exercise helps to keep weight in check, banish
boredom and ensure that the systems of the body all get
pushed to their potential. A dog who does not get to exercise may become destructive in the house when the owners are not home.
4. Consult with a veterinarian. Routine health checkups

Seniors keeping fit,
having fun
MYLES FISH
Monday marked the beginning of Seniors’
Week celebrations at the Timothy Eaton
Gardens, and while some were chowing
down at the kick-off pancake breakfast upstairs, others were in the basement exercising. Later in the day, another group spent
an hour stretching and doing aerobics.
While free pancake breakfasts do not
come around all that often, exercise classes
for the elderly are becoming more and
more prevalent.
Dot Hicks runs two sets of classes five
times a week at the Timothy Eaton Gardens. Hicks, a cardiac rehab exercise therapist with the Five Hills Health Region,
operates the CardiAction program for
heart patients, as well as an evening exercise program Mondays and Thursdays.
In Hicks’ programs, participants walk
on an indoor track, use exercise bikes, rowing machines and even specialized equipment for those who have had hip or knee
replacements. “It is really important to get that
strength up so they can do the activities of
daily living better. The more muscle mass
you have, the more calories you burn at
rest. When you get older, your metabolic
rate goes down,” said Hicks. According to Hicks, the recommended
level of physical activity for seniors is 30
minutes per day, five days a week. “The good news is, even if you do it in
smaller 10 minute bouts, that’s fine.
“Gardening, walking, playing with your
grandchildren, doing housework — those
Seniors participate in exercises at the Timothy Eaton Gardens on Monday afternoon.

are all physical activities that can be included in that 30 minutes a day.”
While walking is good, and easier, for an
elderly body, Hicks said it is important for
seniors to do strength exercises as well as
stretching. She said the downstairs equipment
room is underused and members of Moose
Jaw & District Seniors can drop in at any
time to use the machines and walking
track for only 50 cents. Another of the centre’s exercise opportunities runs Monday
and Wednesday afternoons and Friday
mornings. These one-hour sessions are
starting up again after breaking for the
summer.
“It’s good, no matter how old you are. It
keeps you going,” said Alice Small, one of
the leaders and a class participant since
1986. She credited her quick recovery following knee surgery to her exercising.
Rose Schenher tries to make the three
weekly sessions every week. Being diabetic,
she said it helps to keep her blood sugar
down and helps her stay healthy.
“I don’t put on the extra 15 pounds in
the winter that I used to when I used to sit
and knit. It’s not a weight-loss program, but
it’s not a weight-gaining program either,”
said Schenher. The Cosmo Senior Citizen’s Centre also
runs weekly exercise programs. The centre
holds yoga classes twice a week, exercises
on Wednesday morning and line dancing
on Thursday morning.
All of the courses offered at the two centres can be attended for a minimal charge. Myles Fish can be reached at 691-1263.

Celebrating
Canada!
LYNDSAY MCCREADY
Joining in the celebration, the Moose Jaw
Western Development Museum (WDM)
held its annual Culture Days this past
weekend.
Canadian Culture Days are celebrated
across the nation, promoting Canadian
arts and culture.
Jackie Hall, of the WDM told the TimesHerald to celebrate Canada Culture Days
the museum took advantage of the warm
weather and offered free tractor wagon
rides, as well those who attended could see
the local blacksmith hard at work and had
the opportunity to visit one of the museum’s gallery interpreters inside.
This year, Herman Segall and Ron Hammond were on hand in the Rail Gallery to
answer questions, while Roger Mackin introduced kids to his current project in the
Aviation Gallery.
Hall said the men were there to answer
questions, promote the museum and get
folks excited about Canada’s history and
what the WDM has to offer.
As for Culture Days, she said Canadians
tend to forget that Canada has a very distinct, special and unique culture that
should be celebrated and promoted.
“So with the activities that (took place
this weekend) both in Moose Jaw and
across the country, I think it is just a great
way to do that and remind people of what
a wonderful place Canada is and all the
great things it has to offer.”
She said that goes for both Canadians
and visitors.
Although Sunday was a bit slower at the
museum, Hall said overall, the turnout had
been fantastic.
“We had a wide scope of both local (residents) and tourists visit the museum.”
She said Culture Days is one of those
events that tends to bring out kids of all
ages, from one to 99, because it is something everyone can enjoy and participate
in.
Austin and Connor Lee couldn’t agree
more with Hall.
After visiting the blacksmith, wandering the museum and enjoying the weather,
the two boys ended their culture day experience with a tractor ride.
Both boys said they had a lot of fun and
were looking forward to coming back in

community, showing that drinking and
driving is obviously not good. It is always
good to get involved in school, too,” said
Heilman.
Michael Harris was one of the students
trying each of the challenges. The Grade 10
student had tried the drunk goggles previously at Sidewalk Days, but Thursday’s experience was unique.
“This is a whole different thing. You had
to drive a tricycle, and I knocked down
some pylons. (I learned) not to drink and
drive,” said Harris.
Empire School student Julian Tuck took
part as well. His favourite was the obstacle
course, where he stayed on his feet, unlike
many others. “It’s a challenge with the goggles because there is blurry vision and it turns you
to the left. It’s pretty fun,” said Tuck.
Asked what he learned on the day, the
Grade 7 student responded, “Drinking and
driving is not a good mix.”

There were plenty of spills and tumbles in
the Riverview Collegiate gymnasium on
Thursday. But while most of those falls resulted in little more than perhaps a bruised
ego, James Irving is hoping the participating students realize that in non-simulated
settings, great danger exists.
Approximately 200 students from
Riverview, Empire and Westmount schools
took part in the Impairment Awareness
Day organized by Riverview’s Students
Against Drinking and Driving (SADD)
group. The youth earned points competing
in challenges — an obstacle course and
bean bag toss among them — all while
donning goggles which simulate drunkenness. “It is all fun, but I think they get the picture that if this was a real life situation and
you were actually drinking and driving,
there will be pretty severe consequences,”
said Irving, Opportunity To Learn co-ordinator and SADD organizer at the school.
“What they’re realizing in the games is
that when you’re impaired, mentally and
physically you don’t function like you do
when when you are sober. And when you
get behind the wheel of a car when you are
impaired, the results can be drastic,” he
added.
The event, held thanks to the support of
a number of local sponsors, was the first of
the year for the SADD chapter, which is in
its first full year of existence at the school. Tatiana Heilman is one of the co-presidents of the new group of 12 students. She
is looking forward to participating in the
provincial SADD conference next month
in Saskatoon and was pleased with the first
event and how much fun students were
having.

Dangerous plants
are everywhere
Chances are, there is a harmful or dangerous plant lurking in your garden or home.
But it’s all about common sense, according to Marcy Duffey, owner of Keon
Garden Centre in Moose Jaw.
She said there are thousands of plants
where parts of them — such as the seeds,
roots or leaves — are poisonous.
“So we could panic and pull out every
plant that might be poisonous, but that
leaves us pretty limited,” she said.
Angel’s Trumpet, a common garden
flower, has been hitting the headlines recently after a group of Moose Jaw kids
were hospitalized after eating the plant’s
toxic seeds.
One youth remains in hospital in
Regina.
Duffey said the best thing is to teach
children to check with an adult before
eating berries, plants or fruit.
“Something as simple as apple seeds in
large quantities can be toxic.
“Kidney and lima beans, if too many
are eaten raw, or onion and garlic in large
amounts, are toxic to cats and dogs.
“Potato, rhubarb and tomato foliage
are all poisonous and the berries of asparagus foliage are poisonous,” she said.
Duffey said common garden plants
such as Bleeding Heart, Castor Bean, English Ivy, Passion Vine, Sweet Pea and
Morning Glory are all poisonous.
“People just need to use common
sense. We teach our children not to eat
that leaf or that berry unless we can say
it’s OK to eat.
“When it comes to pets or livestock,
plants will have prickles on them or an
unpleasant smell or taste. Animals generally won’t eat them unless there is noth-
ing else for them to eat.
“The bottom line is, there are thousands of them and it’s just simply teaching kids not to eat them unless it’s OK.
“Unfortunately these kids (ingested)
something really harmful to them but I
also think other kids will pay attention
and be more careful. There are so many
plants that will cause problems but just
do not eat them unless you know they are
edible,” she said.
Tina Couzens, owner of Evans Florist
in Moose Jaw, said people often call the
store to ask whether they can eat certain
plants or if they are poisonous.
In fact she keeps a list close to hand
with the names of common toxic flowers
and plants, as well as common commercially grown edible flowers.
But she warned it’s not advisable to use
edible plants bought from florists in salads due to pesticides and poisons to kill
bugs.
“People phone about what they can
put in salads and usually nothing from a
florist as . . . they are treated with pesticides but we send them to local greenhouses to ask if they use pesticides.
“You see people on television using
flowers in salads but really you cannot do
that with flowers from a flower shop.
“They would have to grow them in
their own garden or from people who are
not using pesticides or go to a greenhouse and ask if there flowers are edible.”
Couzens said she sometimes gets calls
from worried pet owners saying their cat
or dog has been munching on a plant.
“Usually they have to eat almost their
entire body weight in plant to get really
sick. Eating a couple of leaves is not usually a problem, except it kills the plant,”
she said.
Couzens said sometimes people ask
A QUICK LIST OF SAFE AND
TOXIC FLOWERS
Here are some common commercially grown
edible flowers on Evans Florist owner Tina
Couzens’ list.
➤ Lilac — tastes floral
➤ Marigolds — taste spicy to bitter
➤ Petunias — taste leafy
➤ Daisies — taste tangy, leafy
➤ Day lily — tastes sweet, crunchy
➤ Hollyhock — tastes variable, bland
➤ Lavender — tastes lemon, perfumy, floral
➤ Pansies — taste sweet to tart to bland
➤ Roses — taste sweet, aromatic, perfumy
➤ Snapdragon — tastes bland to bitter
➤ Sunflower petals — taste leafy
➤ Tulips — taste crisp pea or cucumber-like
➤ Violet — taste sweet nectar
Here are some common toxic flowers and plants
from Couzen’s lists.
➤ Amaryllis
➤ Anemones
➤ Azaleas
➤ Bleeding Heart
➤ Buttercups
➤ Daffodils
➤ Delphinium
➤ Iris
➤ Larkspur
➤ Lilly-of-the-valley
➤ Monkshood
Tina Couzens, owner of Evans Florists, shows the list she uses of common toxic flowers and plants. Here,
she is pictured with an Azalea, which is on the list. Times-Herald photo by Rebecca Lawrence
for advice about plants if they have little
kids and she will then check her list.
“They have to eat quite a bit of anything with these common plants. The
taste is not something like candy, especially daffodils which have quite a bitter
taste, so they are not going to eat a lot of
it,” she said.
Poison control hotline can help if any harmful substance ingested
The Saskatchewan Poison
Centre can help if you
think you or someone you
know has ingested something poisonous.
It is a confidential 24hour-a-day, seven-days-aweek hotline available at
1-866-454-1212.
According to their
website, the centre offers
immediate assessment
and treatment recommendations for poison
and chemical emergencies.
The hotline is staffed
by a team of poison experts.
The website states people should “call for emergency treatment advice
for victims exposed to all
kinds of poisons includ-
ing drugs, plants, mushrooms, pesticides, snake
and spider bites and a
wide variety of household
cleaners and chemicals.”

Moose to find home in multiplex?
CARTER HAYDU
Call it putting the “moose” in
Moose Jaw multiplex.
In 2002, Murals of Moose
Jaw commissioned the creation of three large ornamental
Moose, which were on display
in Crescent Park, but eventually the city had to place the
two adult statues in storage (at
Rosedale Reservoir) and the juvenile statue is currently
housed at Tourism Moose Jaw.
“It was the combination of
weather and vandalism that
was too much for them,” Murals of Moose Jaw chairwoman
Norma Westgard told the
Times-Herald on Tuesday. She
said the murals board would
like the statue moose family
again on display together in
some public setting.
Therefore, Murals of Moose
Jaw recently submitted a letter
to the multiplex operating
board, requesting the statues
be placed somewhere in the
downtown portion of the multiplex.
“They would be a good representation of Moose Jaw and
a lot of people would see them
there and yet they would be
safe,” Westgard said.
Kurt Saladana, multiplex
board chairman, said until the
facility is actually complete,
the city is responsible for directing the design-build contractor as to what elements
should be included in the
downtown portion of the multiplex.
However, Saladana said the
board would recommend the
city allow for the inclusion of
these ornamental moose
within the rink complex, especially considering the moose
are in good condition and
there would be no charge asso-
ciated with fulfilling the request.
As well, Saladana said the
moose would represent something particular to the community and its culture.
“They’ll add some local
colour to the facility,” he said,
adding he believes the moose
could possibly work as ornaments inside the soccer facility
portion of the multiplex as
well.
As for any murals that
might be commissioned for
the exterior of the multiplex facilities, Westgard said that is a
discussion Murals of Moose
Jaw has yet to tackle.
For now, she said the
group’s multiplex focus would
remain on relocating the
moose statues into the rink facility.
“We’d like to get them on
display first.”
Designed by Edmontonbased sculptor Wei Luan, the
three moose statues were originally erected in Crescent Park
in October 2002. The three
sculptures took between five
and six months to complete.
Plenty of moose to go around city
Although the little moose
statue near the entrance of the
local Thatcher Drive East
tourism office is a much-appreciated ornament, Tourism
Moose Jaw executive director
Candis Kirkpatrick said it was
always understood eventually
the little moose would end up
with the two parent moose
statues at some point in the future.
“We know his home here
was only temporary,” Kirkpatrick told the Times-Herald
on Tuesday.
She said Tourism Moose Jaw
Could this little moose statue at Tourism Moose Jaw find a new home with its statue parents in the multiplex? That's the
wish of Murals of Moose Jaw. Times-Herald photo by Carter Haydu
would be pleased to see the
baby moose back with its ornamental parents at a new safe
location, such as the multiplex
facility, as is the current suggestion of Murals of Moose Jaw.
Besides, Kirkpatrick said,
Tourism Moose Jaw still has
Mac the Moose showcased
outside the office.
That statue, according to
Kirkpatrick, was originally part
of Tourism Moose Jaw predecessor Destination Moose
Jaw’s office site before the new
tourism office opened in 2003.
Mac the Moose was trucked to
its current location in 2004.
Standing 10 metres high
and weighing about 9,000
kilograms, Kirkpatrick said
Mac is still (as she understands it) the largest ornamental moose in Canada.
Although a 2009 jaw replacement cost Tourism
Moose Jaw $30,000, Kirkpatrick said Mac is doing
well and, with its new paint
job, the statue should be
welcoming tourists to the
Friendly City for many years
to come.
