Local photographer to unveil Red Deer Mosaic Unique project done to help mark the City’s centennial celebration BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express

ne Red Deer man is on a mission to give back to the community by using his gift of photogra-

phy. Over the past three weeks, Tim Van Horn, 44, has photographed 2,013 Red Deerians for a mosaic as part of the celebration for the centennial. The mosaic will incorporate part of the Canadian ﬂag as well as a deer which symbolizes the City. “I am using City Hall as the background of the white part of the ﬂag. The rest of the time I have gone to special events including the farmer’s market and sporting events and I’m using a red background for those photos. That is how I am shaping this,” he said. The mosaic, which will be about 8X20 ft. will be unveiled and permanently installed at 4617-46 Ave. The unveiling will take place June 15th at noon rain or shine. Van Horn said this is his gift to Red Deerians as it is a self-funded project but he hopes to garner donations to help move his projects forward. “I’m going out on a limb by doing this but I think there is going to be enough interest in the poster and in the artwork afterwards. This is my offering to the City to say ‘Happy birthday’ and I need your help not only with the Red Deer Mosaic but with the Canadian mosaic which is going all across the country.” The Red Deer Mosaic is also part of a bigger project – the Canadian Mosaic Project. For this project, Van Horn has taken 22,000 portraits of Canadians across the country in the past 57 months. The portraits he has taken for the Red Deer Mosaic will also be used for the Canadian Mosaic Project. His goal is to have the Canadian mosaic ready for Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. “The concept is I am trying to record .1 per cent of the population from thousands of locations across the country – that is 36,000 people,” he said. “It’s quite an undertaking to stay on the road for that long but also the geographical area I have to cover is enormous so that is a real challenge to represent the whole country because it’s so spread out.” People can support Van Horn’s project by sponsoring a kilometre or by purchasing a poster of either the Red Deer Mosaic or the Canadian Mosaic. “The mosaic is about the people, for

the people and powered by the people.” The Canadian Mosaic will be 10X20 ft. once it’s ﬁnished. Meanwhile, Van Horn was born in Edmonton. Growing up he moved around frequently as his father was in the military. “I got used to constant change and I never wanted to stop that. As a boy about four or ﬁve years old I decided I wanted to be a photographer so that I could travel around the world and meet people and experience their cultures and have all of these adventures,” he said. “I have always stuck with that dream and here I am doing it right now.” Van Horn graduated from Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary in 1992. For the next six years he did commercial photography in that city before he recorded the last days of the wooden grain elevators in 1998. “I went all over the prairies off and on over four years and made this exhibit that traveled with the Glenbow for three years.” After that projected wrapped, Van Horn began work on the I Am Albertan book which was a centennial project for the province in 2005. “I managed to raise enough money to put one book in every school and library in Alberta. I actually delivered all of those books to the districts,” he said. “It was a very ambitious undertaking. It was self-published.” Van Horn said his passion and drive for his craft stems from his childhood. “When I was growing up as a military kid I developed a sense of duty. I saw my grandpa go to the war and my dad go to the war. I thought that sense of duty is what everyone should have in their life. But I’m not military material. I don’t believe in war,” he said. “So I came up with my own tour of duty which was to unite the country visually. I married my sense of duty with my sense of art. “All of us should do something big in our lives for our country or for our community whether it be raising a good family, or being a good husband, or being a photographer that unites the country – it’s all the same. This is how I give back to Canada and the people of Canada to inspire them to believe in themselves and one another.” For more information, to donate or to purchase a poster, check out www. iamreddeer.ca or www.canadianmosaic.ca. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

INSPIRATION - Tim Van Horn will unveil a mosaic for the City’s centennial at noon on June 15th at 4617 46 Ave. For the last three weeks, Van Horn has been taking portraits of 2,013 Red Deerians for the Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express project.

Plans for Native Friendship Centre move forward BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express There wasn’t a seat to be had in Council Chambers Monday night as community members were there to weigh in on the proposed rezoning of a site on Riverside Dr. to allow for a new Native Friendship Centre and housing development. Red Deer City council unanimously approved the rezoning of a 3.5 acre site adjacent to the Lion’s Campground to allow for the development. The Red Deer Native Friendship Centre Society is proposing to develop a cultural centre with attached housing for low-income residents. It would also be available for individuals coming out

for substance abuse rehabilitation. The proposed Native Friendship Centre would see a 16-unit housing development during the ﬁrst phase and the second phase would be the development of a cultural centre. City administration spent 28 weeks looking at more than 20 possible sites around the City including Red Deer College and Fort Normandeau after an initial application to locate the development in Clearview Ridge was turned down by council last fall. The site along Riverside Dr. was unanimously chosen by the task force as the one to move forward with. “This does not mean there wasn’t some challenges to consider along the

way. Given its proximity to the river, we had two studies done to confirm that the 3.5 acre parcel is not in the floodway or fringe or affected by the 2005 flood which was above the one in 100year flood level,” said Lisa Perkins, the City’s director of corporate transformation. “We considered the possibility of the removal of 19 tenting sites (at the Lion’s Campground) when the cultural centre is developed, but we understand the City will look at alternatives for camping in the City that meet community needs.” Tanya Schur, executive director for the Red Deer Native Friendship Society said the centre is needed in the community.

I know we need a site where the river and the land and the trees can be apart of how we live together. I know that Red Deer has an affordable housing crisis. I know that our population is growing. I know this is needed.” Brian Rypstra, owner of The Framing Nook had concerns about not only the potential for flooding on the site, but also potential effects to his business as well. “I too am very concerned about the flooding. When it flooded (in 2005), we were across the street right on this site and even though technically engineers can say that it is not on the flood plain, it was both soaking wet and the whole complete area and the neighbourhood was to-

“I’ve heard a lot of things and a lot of concerns over the last three weeks,” she said.

“IF ANY TYPE OF REZONING AFFECTS OUR BUSINESS I WOULD BE HURT BY IT, MY FAMILY WOULD BE HURT BY IT.” BRIAN RYPSTRA “It’s been a tough haul. I’ve heard those concerns and make no mistake, we think about the seventh generation and we think about ﬂooding. We think maybe more than many other developers about the trees and the life that they have had,” she said. “I don’t know if this is the best site for our project.

tally under evacuation.” He added he said he has concerns as a property owner in proximity to the site. “We have a retail business and we have customers coming in and out. That is my livelihood. I depend on that income and if any type of rezoning affects our business I would be hurt by it, my family would be hurt by it,” he said. “I am really concerned about loitering, not because it is native, but because it’s residential. “We are in a light industrial area which means there is no one around in the evenings and at night. To put residents right close to it is almost like changing our zoning. I’m concerned about vandalism. “I think residential areas kind of self-govern themselves because there are all sorts of people living in the area when there is loitering or vandalism -- people can control that. I’d like to ask council how they are going to protect businesses across the street from loitering and vandalism.” Teddy Anderson, who worked as a youth worker for the Native Friendship Society for six months said this facility is needed. “During my six months there I met 60 youth – some aboriginal, some non-aboriginal. The stories they come in with are harsh to the point where my mouth drops open and I ask how do you wake up every day? How do you eat? How do you not have depression? How do you not struggle?” he said. “I was hearing some of the presentations about parkland and the walkways – all valid points I think. But when you compare that to the struggle of a youth, a person who has to go to school and be harassed just because of the colour of their skin, where they come from. “What I see is not the trees, the water, the teepee that might go up – it’s the faces of these youth beaming with brightness because when they come into this centre and they’re dancing and singing their songs and talking their own language, they change, they become completely different people.” City council unanimously approved the rezoning of the site to allow for the Native Friendship Centre. Society ofﬁcials will now move forward with building permits and design. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Dangerous suspect is captured and charged A man who was on the run and wanted by police has been arrested and charged with attempted murder, among others after an incident over the weekend. Andrew Allan Waunch, 30, of no fixed address is facing numerous charges stemming from incidents that have occurred in Central Alberta recently. On June 9th Red Deer City RCMP responded to a complaint of a robbery with a firearm where the suspect stole a vehicle from the victim. At 11 p.m. RCMP located the stolen vehicle in the Creekside Trailer Park. RCMP initiated a stop, however, the vehicle fled. A pursuit ensued where shots were fired from the suspect at a police cruiser. The suspect vehicle evaded police and was located abandoned near Olds where a black Dodge truck was reported stolen. Through police investigation it was determined the truck, driven by the same suspect from the earlier incidents in Red Deer, had been driven back into Red Deer and was located in the south end of the City. As RCMP attempted a traffic stop with the stolen truck another pursuit ensued. A police spike belt was utilized. Waunch was caught and arrested.

Waunch has been charged with attempted murder, robbery with a firearm, theft over $5,000, use of a firearm while fleeing from police, kidnapping, use of a firearm while committing an indictable offence, possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, discharging a firearm to prevent arrest, discharge of a restricted firearm while being reckless and being an occupant of a motor vehicle knowing there was a firearm in the motor vehicle. He also faces two counts of flight from police and two counts of dangerous driving.

RCMP members also shut down part of 32 St. near the Red Deer County building Monday as part of this investigation, RCMP Cpl. Sarah Knelsen said. Investigators were there for a number of hours, but will not comment further. Waunch will make his ﬁrst court appearance in Red - Fawcett Deer on June 14th.

OPINION Honouring our dads Ah the long-awaited month of June. Summer is just around the corner and things are gearing up for a busy season of activity, holidays and taking it easy – as much as that is possible. It’s also the month that we pay homage to fathers, with Father’s Day on June 16. There’s always plenty of hub-bub about Mother’s Day and deservedly so. Father’s Day tends to be a more subdued affair in our society – an unfortunate thing considering the inﬂuence fathers can have and the much more hands-on approach to parenting many dads take these days. Father’s Day was inaugurated in the United States in the early 1900s to complement Mother’s Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting. According to Wikipedia, after the success obtained by Anna Jarvis with the promotion of Mother’s Day, some wanted to create similar holidays for other family members, and Father’s Day was the choice most likely to succeed. Father’s Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd. Its ﬁrst celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis’ Mother’s Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honouring them. Although she initially suggested June 5, her father’s birthday, the pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons and the celebration was deferred to the

third Sunday of June. It was not a roaring success to begin with. In fact, Dodds stopped promoting the occasion in the 1920s because she was busy studying art in Chicago. But the following decade saw her return to Spokane and take up the cause once again. At last, it began to gather momentum and awareness spiked to a national level. But it still wasn’t an ‘official’ day. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honouring mothers, thus “(singling) out just one of our two parents.” Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honouring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972. On an global level, International Men’s Day is also marked in many countries on Nov. 19 for men who aren’t fathers. As with any holiday singling out a family member, it’s not always a happy occasion. We all know family horror stories of absentee or even abusive parents. But for those of us blessed with responsible, caring and selfless parents, let’s take the time to let them know – our fathers in particular this week – that they are special people and we are grateful. After all, anyone can be a biological father. But not everyone can be a ‘Dad’.

Integrated mobility: transportation choices for the future The City’s 2012/2014 Strategic Direction includes the following policy direction for transportation and movement: to design for and facilitate integrated movement; to create viable alternatives to single occupant vehicle travel in our transportation network and to facilitate transportation choice as the City grows in the most economic way. As cities grow changes in the modal split are inevitable and integrated planning of all modes of transportation becomes more important. Those cities that look ahead and plan for this change are in a better position to manage the change in the most economic and environmentally sensitive way. With the help of a nationallyrenowned consultant group, the City has developed a policy document for integrated movement entitled ‘The Mobility Playbook.’ This document outlines a series of strategies by which change can be facilitated. These are: put pedestrians ﬁrst, create a balanced network, tie land-use and mobility together, make transit part of the journey,

CRAIG

CURTIS connect the trails and nurture a culture of change. It must be noted that each of these strategies are aimed at providing choice of mode and are in no way regulatory in nature. The goal is to provide a win-win situation for all modes through careful planning so that any form of transportation is not inconvenienced by another. This can only be achieved if planning is done well in advance of development. The six strategies or ‘plays’ as they are referred to in the report may be brieﬂy summarized as follows: 1.) Put Pedestrians First: Red Deer has a network of walking trails. However, in many cases, these do not effectively link up with the places where people live. There is also limited walking provision in neighbourhoods. The downtown leads the way in terms of creating an attractive

pedestrian environment. The plan recommends the creation of or improved pedestrian linkages and walkable hubs. 2.) Create a Balanced Network: Vehicles play a critical role in moving both people and goods in Red Deer. Driving will continue to play a key role in transportation. The plan recommends the planning of a hierarchy of different kinds of streets ranging from higher speed roads to lower key roads which encourage a diverse mix of transportation modes. 3.) Tie Land Use to Movement: Land use planning can facilitate integrated transportation through the planned location of higher density areas with public transit. The plan recommends that neighbourhood design standards be amended to locate areas of higher density where they support public transportation to achieve this goal. 4.) Make Transit Part of the Journey: The present transit routes provide extensive coverage at the expense of directness. Current bus routes take circuitous routes that lengthen journey times and discourage in-

creased transit usage. The plan suggests that routes be modiﬁed to be more direct and the system operate with greater frequency. 5.) Connect the Trails: The plan proposes that the current recreation trails be connected into neighborhoods through a network providing better connections for pedestrians and cyclists. 6.) Nurture a Culture of Change: The plan proposes that Red Deer initiate a campaign for active living which encourages a change in the modal split between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicle users. This will require community involvement and partnerships with various departments, sections and organizations. The Integrated Movement Study involved hundreds of residents and thousands of comments were received through events, presentations and surveys over a two-year period. The ﬁnal recommendations and vision in the Mobility Playbook was put out for public comment through feedback forms and an online survey. The analysis of results undertaken by Global Research showed

The Red Deer Express is a proud newspaper of

Publisher | Tracey Scheveers

that 85% of respondents were either favourable or neutral in their response to the overall direction and vision. The vast majority of respondents who agreed with the vision supported providing a more balanced provision of mobility options including cycling, walking, transit and cars. However, it was noted that while initiatives were supported for new areas, improvements in existing areas should use additional space and not be taken from existing road space. City council adopted the Mobility Playbook in May and it will form the framework for transportation planning over the next decade. City council’s direction is similar to that being followed by many cities across Canada and North America. With Red Deer’s dramatic growth the city is projected to double in 20 years. It is important to ensure that we develop a transportation system that is economical, environmentally responsible and encourages healthy and active lifestyles. Craig Curtis is Red Deer’s City manager.

Letters to the editor

CitySpeak MAYOR MORRIS This week, Express reporter Erin Fawcett has asked Mayor Morris Flewwelling questions regarding approval of the rezoning of land to allow for development of the Native Friendship Centre.

FLEWWELLING

How do you feel about the approval of the rezoning of land to allow for the Native Friendship Centre? “I’m very happy with the outcome, especially with the fact that it was a unanimous decision of council,” said Flewwelling.

What were some of the challenges of the rezoning of the land? “The challenges were to bring an institution like the cultural centre together with residential. We tend not to do that mix in our zoning and so we could have put the cultural centre there quite easily or the residential. But to put them together anywhere in the City would have required a special rezoning,” said Flewwelling. “The indigenous community wanted it to be together. They felt it was really important that the cultural piece and the residential piece be together.”

How is this approval of the rezoning going to enhance the community as a whole? “Firstly it will provide affordable housing particularly for aboriginal people, but not exclusively – I’m sure there will be occasions where there will be other people that live there. In looking further down the road it will provide the cultural opportunity for the aboriginal culture to be focused in a centre and that aboriginal people and non-aboriginal people – in fact all the people in our community will be able to share that. There will be a sharing of the culture, a learning of the culture, opportunities of education, opportunities for spiritual growth and awareness in the aboriginal way,” said Flewwelling. “It’s a real turning point for aboriginals in our community.” He added there are a lot of people who live dispersed throughout the community of indigenous background. “Some of those people are quite invisible in our community. This will help them particularly for contact and renewal with their roots,” said Flewwelling.

Politicians too enthralled with perks and position, says reader There is an adage that goes something like: “I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.” You see evidence of this in people all over the world standing up to dictators, religions, regimes, military, bosses and numerous other wrongs. There is evidence of it in news by the average citizen in our neighborhood. But it is seldom seen in our political leaders of all levels and stripes. Our political members are more enthralled with the perks, power and parties than honor, justice and serving the people. Governments around the world did not unilaterally decide to be corrupted, to become dictatorships; it was done in incremental steps. Every leader just wanted a bit more power, a bit more prestige, a few more perks than his/her predecessors. They bent the rules just a little more, they brought down a slightly bigger iron ﬁst a few more times. The people gradually became forgotten and regarded as just a formality but a nuisance. Then a small thing happens, and someone stands up and then his neighbor and before you know it, the leader is given a reality check. A lot of small things have happened in all levels of government and I think we are seeing people stand up but very few of the political class. There are trustees, councilors, aldermen, legislators, parliamentarians and even senators looking around and are not liking what they are seeing. Parents, spouses, children and friends are starting to question their ethics and actions as

What were some of the concerns that you heard about the approval of the rezoning of land? “One we kept hearing repeatedly is that the site is located on the flood plain. I understand the concern, but we had two independent engineering studies done and both of them said that it was not in the one in 100 year flood plain and it was not affected by the 2005 flood, which was much more severe than the one in 100,” said Flewwelling. “Isolation of the site was one of them. I don’t think there is anywhere where you are in the centre of downtown that there is much isolation. And thirdly was the parkland piece. I’m as sensitive as anyone that we have parkland and we have access to parkland and we can’t manufacture parkland. I look at just bringing Maskepetoon Park on line – we have added acres and acres of accessible parkland. We’ve purchased the land in the Bower natural area and that will compliment the piece along the College lands and the creek and so on. So yes you grieve over every square foot of park that you lose and every tree that you lose but you can do something about that and hopefully that is a challenge for all of us.”

they are starting to question those of their leaders. Heads are down, eyes are turned, voices are quiet and despair is evident but will they stand up for what they were elected to do or stay on their knees. Re-election perks, pensions, and power lay heavily on their shoulders keeping them on their knees hammering down honour, respect and decency trying to unbend those knees. Canada is a young country compared to most, and if we do not learn from the mistakes of others we are bound to repeat them. Do we need to allow our leaders to pursue their self-serving agendas much longer? Are we strong enough to stand up to over-powering weight of greed, anger, hatred, and fear? Are we so territorial that we as provinces, communities and political parties cannot co-operate with each other? Are we so blind that we cannot see the events unfolding before us? In the last year there have been many events, groups and individuals who have stood up, walked, protested, marched, starved, cried and begged for attention from the political elite. A few politicians have moved, walked, responded and/ or tried to implement change but not enough. How many politicians, of all levels, can seriously look deep inside themselves and say; “I would rather die on my feet (even just politically) than live on my knees.” I do not see very many.

New candidate announces council bid BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express Another candidate for City council has thrown his hat into the election ring. Victor Mobley announced his intent to run for Red Deer City council

earlier this week. “I have been interested in serving in public ofﬁce for some time now and since moving to Red Deer, I have felt the need to get involved to make this City a better place to live and do business in,” said Mobley. “Red

Deer is a unique City being between two large economic centres and being a local area hub. We have a unique role to play in this area and this province. “This City is ready to move past being a good city to being a great city and I

believe I can contribute to us making that leap.” Mobley, who moved to Red Deer in 2012, said he brings knowledge from his seven years as both a service advisor and parts person. He currently is employed by a local agricultural parts distributor. “I bring a unique perspective to council in that I have only lived here for one year. I have seen what is done outside of the City and I bring an outside look to current City views,” he said “I believe in bringing a new, fresh and progressive view to Red Deer City council. I bring strong integrity, honesty and character. I believe in running the City in a way that is sustainable

and responsible in all aspects of the City.” Mobley sees crime, spending, responsibility and accountability as issues that need to be addressed in this election. “Red Deer has one of the worst crime rates in the province. We have debt that has accumulated due to our City’s growth that needs to be managed in a progressive and responsible way without creating a burden on current or future taxpayers,” said Mobley. “I will bring ideas forward that will help to beneﬁt the majority of the community not just a small segment or a special interest group. “I believe that together, we can create a commu-

Red Deer residents have been asked to rally together during National Blood Donor Week. Canadian Blood Services is asking residents to get ‘Behind the Blood Signal’ when the blood drop shaped icon is activated during National Blood Donor Week which runs June 10 to 16. The Blood Signal is intended to connect people to the idea of making a donation at speciﬁc times of the year when the need for blood is greatest like the summertime. ‘Behind the Blood Signal’ was chosen as this year’s theme for National Blood Donor Week to educate more Canadians that when they see the Blood Signal, it means ‘give blood now’. Red Deer residents can also get ‘Behind the Blood Signal’ campaign by donating blood at the Red Deer blood donor clinic which is located at #5, 5020 - 68 St. The clinic has also added an extra hour on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the summer months, ofﬁcials said. Appointments can now be booked from 9 a.m.– 2 p.m. on both days. To book an appointment, go online to www.blood.ca or call 1-888-236-6283. - Fawcett

New heritage walking tours and signs introduced There are new ways to experience Red Deer’s past with your family. Three new heritage walking tours, a children’s activity map and 58 new heritage signs were launched recently and all Red Deerians were invited to join in the celebrations. The materials are part of the new Red Deer Revealed collection and were unveiled at Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. “The launch of these heritage walking tours and the ofﬁcial unveiling of the new signs are exciting additions to Red Deer’s year of centennial celebrations,” said City Manager Craig Curtis. “The tours and signs will provide a wonderful opportunity for people to learn about and interact with and see our community’s heritage.”

At the event, participants enjoyed refreshments as they learned about some of the highlights of Red Deer’s history and the heritage projects. Copies of the three new heritage walking tours and the children’s ‘Ghost Hunters Activity Map’ were also available. Local experts also led people on either ‘The Ghost Collection’ tour or the ‘Saturday in the City’ tour – two of the three new tours that are part of the Red Deer Revealed line. The Red Deer Revealed heritage walking tours are available online at www.reddeer.ca/heritage.

Residential school artifacts contributed to project Truth and Reconciliation hearings held in City A red brick and a piece of sandstone from the Red Deer Industrial School has become part of a monumental sculpture of remembrance and reconciliation of residential schools. Carey Newman, a master carver, will use the historic artifacts from the Red Deer Industrial School in his national Indian Residential School Commemorative art project â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Witness: Pieces of Historyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;This work will recognize the atrocities of the Indian Residential School era, honour the children, and symbolize ongoing reconciliation,â&#x20AC;? said Newman, from his gallery in British Columbia. Â The pieces of the residential school in Red Deer were given to Project Coordinator Rosy Steinhauer at a Feast to Remember the Children which followed a Truth and Reconciliation Committee hearing that took place in Red Deer last week. The feast and the hearing were hosted by the Remembering the Children Society

of Red Deer. Steinhauer is the grandniece of former Alberta Lt. Gov. Ralph Steinhauer, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst First Nations lieutenant governor, who attended the school as a child. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;The impact of the Indian residential schools still weighs on our people.

Church (which was later to form part of the United Church of Canada). Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I conceived the Witness Blanket to not only honour my father, but also to leave a legacy for my daughter, so that her generation may continue this journey toward healing and reconciliation,â&#x20AC;? said Newman.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;THIS WORK WILL RECOGNIZE THE ATROCITIES OF THE INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL ERA, HONOUR THE CHILDREN, AND SYMBOLIZE ONGOING RECONCILIATION.â&#x20AC;? CAREY NEWMAN â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father attended residential school and I have seen ďŹ rsthand that the experience haunts him to this day,â&#x20AC;? said Newman.Â Â During the 19th and early 20th centuries, First Nations children were removed from their homes to live-in facilities where they were forbidden to use their language or culture. The Red Deer Industrial School operated from 1893 to 1919Â by agreement between the federal government and the Methodist

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that if we bear witness with open hearts and open minds, truth will distinguish itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reconciliation has elements of grief, elements of healing and elements of teaching each intertwined with a fundamental pursuit of truth.â&#x20AC;? Â More than just a piece of artwork, the project includes a team that is crossing Canada on gathering trips to collect pieces and stories from the Indian Residential School era.

The team is looking for wood, brick, glass, shingles, metal, books, photographs and other materials related to this historical era. Â People from all parts of Canada, of all faiths, ethnicities and generations are called on to participate. Contributions can be arranged online, by phone or at gathering trips, and local â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;championsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are encouraged to coordinate gathering pieces within local communities. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Salish culture there is a tradition of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blanketingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when a blanket is given to offer protection, strength or public recognition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that manner, this blanket will stand as a woven testament to our shared history, upholding and honouring the survivors and their families,â&#x20AC;? said Newman. Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Witness Blanket will be a tangible patchwork of broken pieces that make up a whole, with the purpose of honouring the history of place and bringing about reconciliation of our past.â&#x20AC;? - Fawcett

POLICE BRIEFS SUSPECT CAUGHT, ONE STILL AT LARGE Calgary RCMP General Investigation Unit and the Sylvan Lake RCMP Detachment are investigating offenses believed to have been committed by Andrew Waunch, 30, also known as Navee, and Ashley Chambers, 23.

ANDREW WAUNCH

ASHLEY CHAMBERS The two are suspects in an attempted murder investigation which occurred on June 3rd near Sylvan Lake, as well as a robbery involving a stolen vehicle at gunpoint which occurred on June 7th at 11:30 a.m. The RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance in locating Chambers. Waunch was arrested early Monday while Chambers is still at large. The pair were believed to

by Erin Fawcett

be in a blue 1992 GMC Sierra Truck, two-door standard cab with an Alberta license plate of WVX 289 and were last seen headed east bound towards Trochu from Olds.

DRUG SEIZURE ON HIGHWAY One man has been arrested and charged after a police ofﬁcer found him asleep in his vehicle with drugs in plain view. On June 6 at 2:10 p.m. an Innisfail ITU member checked on a vehicle parked on the side of the road across from the Sports Hall of Fame near Red Deer. The driver was asleep behind the wheel with suspected drugs in sight inside the vehicle. The investigation resulted in the seizure of approximately 27g of suspected methamphetamine and the seizure of approximately 41g of suspected crack cocaine, with a combined estimated street value of $8,200. A 31-year-old male resident of Sylvan Lake now faces two charges of possessing a controlled substance for the purpose of trafﬁcking, one charge of failing to comply with a recognizance as well as one charge of driving while unauthorized. He was released to appear in Red Deer court in mid-July.

POLICE WARN PUBLIC ABOUT JEWELRY SCAM Red Deer City RCMP is warning the citizens of Red Deer of a man and woman in the area that are trying to sell fake gold jewelry. Reports have been received of a woman approaching people in both residential and business areas in Red

Deer attempting to make a sale. There has been a man seen with the woman who is operating what is believed to be a rental car with a Manitoba license plate. Similar scams have been reported across the province over a number of months. In some cases the suspects are aggressive and thefts of personal jewelry have occurred or a plea is made to make a sale of the jewelry because they need money. Police urge the public to be aware of this scam. If anyone has information that can assist the police in their investigation contact Red Deer City RCMP at 403343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Francis the Pig relocated to spray park A month after going missing from his usual downtown hangout, Francis the Pig has been found. The historic ham on the lam will now enjoy wallowing in a green space near a water feature, as the statue has been installed at Rotary Recreation Park just east of the new spray park, opening later this summer. “Children in particular love Francis the Pig, and we felt the statue needed a location where they could access him better,” said Kristina Oberg, culture superintendent. “This location is more visible and interactive, and we know kids and families will love it.” More than 250 entries were received over the last month in response to the contest Where’s Francis? Children aged three to 11 submitted their drawings depicting where Francis may have hidden after “disappearing” from his past location on Little Gaetz Avenue south of 52 St. The entries will be judged and prizes will be awarded next week. Entries are open for public viewing at the Culture Services Centre at 3827 39 St.

until the end of June. Francis’s new permanent went public last week at the launch of three heritage walking tours and 58 new heritage signs, part of the Red Deer Revealed collection. The walking tours provide an opportunity to learn about and interact with Red Deer’s history. In addition to new walking tour brochures, Francis and the rest of the Ghost Collection statues will be showcased in the new, kidfriendly Ghost Hunter’s Activity Map, available at the Culture Services Centre, the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery, and online at www.reddeer.ca/culture. The illustrated map will direct children and families through the downtown and prompt them to identify and learn about the Ghost statues. “We think the new, illustrated map and Francis’s new location will help kids connect to history in a fun and interactive way,” said Oberg. “Putting the spotlight on Francis and his friends really makes Red Deer’s art and history come alive.” - Weber

Finishing touches for Little Gaetz The ‘Gaetz’ are open, and now it’s time for a grand entrance. Crews will put the finishing touches on Little Gaetz this week when the entrance arch feature is installed. “Little Gaetz is in the heart of downtown, and the entrance feature gives a sense of arrival to the downtown,” said Downtown Coordinator Charity Dyke. “There are a few more finishing touches that are happening this month and we’ll be officially re-opening the street this summer.” While the contractor is installing the arch on Gaetz Ave. just north of 52 St., the Gaetz Ave. and 52 St. intersection will close to traffic. There may be temporary lane closures along 52 St. and the installation of the entrance feature should take about a week. “Little Gaetz is a more vibrant, dynamic and walkable space for residents to enjoy the neighbourhood and local businesses,” said Dyke. “The project involved major utility and streetscaping upgrades, and created a real sense of place in the downtown.” The official opening ceremony for the Gaetz Avenue Revitalization project will happen on July 12. - Weber

Luncheon raises funds for Red Deer Royals BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Hosted by the Red Deer Rotary Clubs, the recent Mac & Cheese Luncheon raised funds for the Red Deer Royals’ plan to build a facility. Organizers say about $85,000 was raised overall. Some of the proceeds will go to the Red Deer Royals Alumni Association’s ‘Find a Home’ campaign. The event, held at the Sheraton last week, also featured Richard Picciotto, FDNY Chief and highest ranking firefighter to survive the World Trade Centre collapse on Sept. 11, 2001. Following the attack, Picciotto rushed inside the World Trade Center to rescue those inside, but soon found himself trapped in the smoldering rubble of the north tower after its collapse. After having been on the scene at the 1993 explosion at the WTC, he said he knew immediately it was a terrorist attack. Picciotto’s talk was poignant and inspiring, recounting the single-minded focus of firefighters and

rescue workers as they struggled in the midst of chaos to save lives – going up against the ﬂow of people frantically streaming downstairs. He also recounted the

RICHARD PICCIOTTO terror that ripped through the area that day, and how when he was in the north tower on the 35th ﬂoor he heard the deafening collapse of the south tower. “That noise completely enveloped me – it was all around me. I could literally feel the noise and I could feel it go right through my body. “One of my ﬁrst thoughts was wondering how many people that I knew just died? How many people were in that building?” The south tower collapsed in just 10 seconds.

The realization then hit him that the north tower he was in would likely follow suit. “I’m thinking I have to get everyone out of here as soon as possible.” Minutes later the north tower came crashing down. “The noise is 1,000 times louder as when the other tower came down.” It took the north tower eight seconds to collapse. “People tell you right before you die, your life flashes before you. That’s kind of what happened to me. I thought about my wife and my kids. And I was praying. It was a compilation of every prayer I ever knew.” He said he accepted the fact he was about to die and prayed it would be quick. “I knew what was happening.” Then the floor he was standing on disintegrated and everything went black. He and those with him were trapped for several hours. Miraculously, he emerged almost unscathed and was the highest-ranking firefighter to survive the collapse. His book, Last Man Down, chronicles his harrowing experience on 9/11.

These days, his message touches on leadership – not only in life and death decisions but also the skills that beneﬁt a spectrum of organizations. He also emphasized what really matters

in life. “My number one thing today is that you have to put priorities on your life. I can’t tell you what those priorities should be, but I can tell you that anytime there is a tragedy, you

become very focused on what’s important. What do you become focused on? Family and friends,” he said. “We take it for granted until we don’t have it.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Sylvan Lake citizens celebrate 100 years

Michael

DAWE There are a number of family-friendly events planned to mark this important historical occasion. Originally Sylvan Lake was known as Snake Lake, due to the large numbers of green garter snakes which used to be found there. However, many early residents, particularly those interested in promoting the area as a resort, felt a different name would be appropriate. Consequently, in 1904, the name was changed to Sylvan Lake, as much of the area was heavily wooded. Because of the thick for-

est, travel to the Lake was initially very difficult. It was not until 1899 that the first permanent settlers, the Loiselle family, arrived. Originally from Michigan, they started a farm and a sawmill. They soon also established a store, hotel and post office. Development of the area as a resort began in 1901 when families from Red Deer began coming out to camp along the Lake for the summer. In 1904, the first summer cottages were constructed. The period between 1910 and 1914 saw tremendous growth. Two railroad lines, the Alberta Central and the Canadian Northern, were built through the community. People began to flood in to start farms and businesses or to construct summer cottages along the lakeshore. Many of the early settlers around Sylvan Lake were French speaking. Consequently, first newspaper, The Times, was printed half in English and half in French. In 1913, the year that Syl-

Among the noted halls were the Varsity Hall (originally the Trianon), Alexander Pavilion (later called the Prom) and the Oriental Gardens. Famous bands such as

Sonny Fry’s Orchestra and Mart Kenny’s group played to large crowds throughout the summer. In 1946, the village was incorporated as a town. There was more growth in the 1950s after Hwy 11 was improved and upgraded. The 1960s and 1970s saw even more growth as increasing numbers of people decided to build their homes and raise their families in the town while commuting to jobs in Red Deer. The cottage areas also continued to grow and expand. Some areas developed to the extent that summer villages such as Norglenwald,

A new public pier was built in the town by the provincial and federal governments in 1972-1973. In the 1970s and again in the early 2010s, the provincial park along the main beach was signiﬁcantly improved. Today, Sylvan Lake is one of the most popular resorts in all of western Canada. Such is the demand for lakefront lots that real estate prices are now amongst the highest in Canada.

van Lake was incorporated as a village, the C.N.R. announced plans to construct a mammoth summer hotel, similar to the ones built at Banff and Lake Louise. Unfortunately, with the outbreak of the First World War, the proposal was abandoned. Following the end of the War, Sylvan Lake was a small, quiet farming centre and summer resort with only 300 permanent residents. The 1920s and 1930s were generally hard times economically in Alberta. However, Sylvan Lake enjoyed a period of relative prosperity. People found the Lake to be a more economical place to have a holiday than other more pretentious resorts. As a result, the permanent population jumped to more than 500 with more than 3,000 living at the Lake in the summer. Sylvan Lake’s growth as a resort was boosted when the federal government helped build a large new public pier in 1928. Moreover, the provincial government purchased large

Local scout lands award BY EVAN BUHLER Red Deer Express Winning one award was not enough for Cody Richards, 17, a Red Deer 18th Morrisroe Scout. A month after ďŹ rst receiving the bronze level - Duke of Edinburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award, Richards has now been recognized with the silver level - Duke of Edinburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed more as a whole because of completing this award,â&#x20AC;? said Richards. The Honourable Donald S. Ethell, former Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, presented the award. Just as before with the bronze award, Richards had to complete four programs as part of the award: learn a new skill, volunteer, physical recreation and an adventurous journey. Richards learned to play football for Hunting Hills High School, completing his new skill portion of the award. Volunteer work was easy to come by for Richards as he assisted in running day camps and teaching young-

er scouts groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think giving back to the community is really important and I enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? he said. As part of his physical recreation requirement, Richards worked out with a personal trainer and also skied, hiked and mountain climbed his way to the silver award. The adventurous journey was an exciting time, said Richards. First traveling to Rinkaby, Sweden for the 22nd World Scout Jamboree, which is an event where numerous scouts from all over the world meet to help create a worldwide brotherhood. From Sweden, Richards toured Europe with his family for an additional three weeks, making for an amazing six-week European trip. Due to the fact that Richards already completed the bronze award, he only had to complete 30 hours of volunteer work, learn a new skill and engage in physical recreation over a period of six months as opposed to 45 hours over 12 months.

CITY BRIEFS PERMIT VALUES HOLD STRONG Building permit values for the month of May continued to hold strong at just over $30 million, which compares well with May 2012 when building permits were valued at $33 million. Industrial permit values showed a signiﬁcant increase over May 2012 with six permits issued totaling more than $13.5 million. Contributing to this increase is a building permit issued to Camdon Construction Ltd. for a new industrial building in the amount of $12 million. Highlights in permit values include a per-

by Mark Weber mit issued to Cobra Corporate Management Inc. for an addition to Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints church in the amount of $3.2 million. Monthly permit statistics are posted on the City’s web site at www.reddeer.ca/inspections.

Country Club. Tim Gitzel, Kelly Chase and Ray Bennett named as featured speakers for this year’s new VIP Reception on June 23. For 27 years, community members have hit the links together to support RDC scholarships. Last year’s event raised over $65,000 to this end. Proceeds from the tournament will support RDC’s Athletic Leadership Fund speciﬁcally, which helps to augment costs for student athletes in all programs allowing them to excel in academics and sport. The Athletic Scholarship Fund was created as part of RDC’s long-term fund development strategy with the goal of creating sustainability for all of their athletic programs. Individual golfers can register until June 17. For further information, visit www.rdc. ab.ca/golf_classic.

TURN UP THE VOLUME ON ENGAGEMENT Starting this spring, residents are invited to provide their input on the development of the City’s new public engagement strategy. “This is your opportunity to tell us what you want from your community, your City, and what our relationship will look like,” said Julia Harvie-Shemko, director of communications & strategic planning. “We want to explore how we can better communicate and connect with our citizens.” Amplify Red Deer aims to improve the scope, quality, and efﬁciency of the City of Red Deer’s interactions with citizens and stakeholders. Through a series of focus groups, social media polling, and small group discussions, the public is being asked to contribute their ideas to help the City develop tools and processes they need. One way to contribute is by organizing and hosting a small group discussion with friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, or fellow volunteers using the Amplify Red Deer workbook as a guide and then sending the City the results. The move comes as part of the City of Red Deer’s Strategic Direction 2012 – 2014, which includes engaging the community and enhancing relationships as one of the six themes guiding the development of a healthy, vibrant, and sustainable community. Results of Amplify Red Deer will be summarized in a Report to the Community and presented to Council for consideration by early 2014. “In the end, we hope Amplify Red Deer will create opportunity for meaningful dialogue

and community conversations that all residents feel welcome to be part of,” said Tara Veer, deputy mayor.

CITY GARDEN PLOTS STILL AVAILABLE The City of Red Deer’s Garden Plot Program has a few plots left for residents to dig in the dirt and make the connection to the food they eat. The City’s three gardens are prepared and managed by the City and rented to the public for a season. Parkside Gardens, at 5320 67 St. in Normandeau, still has several plots available for gardeners. The City’s newest garden is an ideal location for families, with a playground, large stand of trees, and The City’s ﬁrst community fruit orchard. There are a few plots left at Red Deer College Gardens, at 100 College Boulevard, while plots at Piper Creek Gardens, at 1709 40 Avenue, have already been rented for the season. Annual fees are $25 for a 60m2 plot or $39 for a 120m2 plot, and gardens are open for planting and harvesting from May long weekend to Thanksgiving. In addition to City gardens, several community gardens are prepared and managed by community groups. Community gardens are typically smaller, more localized gardens that promote walkability and strong community spirit. Raised beds are often used to facilitate access to all, and to add an aesthetically pleasing element within communities.

PROGRAM CONNECTS HIGH SCHOOLS AND RDC Red Deer College and Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools (RDCRS) are partnering to offer high school students the opportunity to earn a college certiﬁcate while they are completing high school. Beginning in September, Notre Dame students enrolled in the Career & Technology Studies (CTS) program will be able to attain an RDC Health Care Aide Certiﬁcate upon high school graduation. The initiative is possible through partial funding from the Health Workforce Action Plan. The unique blend of in class instruction at the high school, labs at RDC, and clinical practicum courses in facilities in and around Red Deer, is very unique. To be admitted to the program, students must be enrolled in the CTS Health Studies stream, complete required immunizations and have a criminal record check. Prospective students can call 403-342-3261.

Tufdek Vinyl Decking:

WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS?

Do you often experience heel pain when you get out of bed in the morning or after sitting for an extended period of time? If so, you may be one of the millions who suffer from a heel condition known as plantar fasciitis.

CENTRAL ALBERTA TILE ONE

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common heel problems seen by Canadian Certified Pedorthists each year. The problem is caused by an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a broad, fibrous band of tissue that spans the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to each toe. Plantar fasciitis is often the result of poor lower limb mechanics (how the foot moves), trauma, weight gain or changes in activity.

HEARING TESTING Evaluating hearing loss is important to preventing future problems. It makes us aware of how much our noisy modern world can or has affected our own individual hearing and steps we can take to prevent any further hearing loss. A hearing test is painless and thorough. Medical and hearing history will be reviewed and a simple test administered. In a sound booth, through a set of earphones, a series of beeps, which vary in tone and volume will be presented in each ear separately. This gives a proﬁle of hearing, which is called an audiogram. Individual word and speech testing is also presented to determine comfort and discomfort levels as well as the degree of understanding what is being heard.

Treatment is usually most effective when help is sought as soon as possible. Unfortunately, many people let plantar fasciitis progress for a long time before seeking help. In these cases, it can take several weeks or months until the plantar fascia is completely healed.

HBOT life saving for Traumatic Brain Injury

1st Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC) A non-refundable tax credit has been implemented for new home buyers that have acquired a qualifying home after January 27, 2009. The tax credit for 2013 is $750, which is derived from multiplying the lowest personal tax rate for the year by $5,000 (For 2013; 15% x $5,000 = $750). To qualify for the HBTC you must purchase a qualifying home and neither the individual or the individual’s spouse or common-law partner can have owned another home in the year of purchase or any of the four preceding years. If you purchase the home with a spouse, common-law partner or friend, you have the option of sharing the credit or one of you can claim the full amount. Please note that the total of both your claims cannot exceed $750. The rules for the HBTC eligibility differ for those with disabilities or those who are purchasing for a related person with a disability as you do not have to be a ﬁrst-time home buyer to qualify.

HERBERT & COMPANY Certiﬁed General Accountant

Anyone who meets Jeff Brennan face-to-face probably can’t tell he’s struggling with the after-effects of servicerelated injuries suffered decades ago. But the former Marine Sergeant has endured more than a decade of agonizing physical pain, emotional distress and complications from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). “I get what’s called ‘night terrors,’ and I can’t sleep,” he said. Brennan also suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many of his injuries come from duty in the Persian Gulf War. He also was injured during a fall from a training tower in the late 1980s and suffered complications from nose surgery. In the years since, he lost 60 percent of his vision and relied on handfuls of daily medication to function in normal life. But Brennan’s condition is improving, thanks to HBOT, with the results even surprising his doctors. Brennan was selected for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as part of a national study on TBI. For an hour everyday for at least 40 days, Brennan lies in a glass chamber and breathes 100 percent pure oxygen under pressure. Twenty days into the 40-day treatment cycle, Brennan said he is seeing results that he and his ﬁancée, Michelle, once thought were unimaginable. “I’m already starting to get vision back to where I can actually see,” he said. “You’d usually get the same story over and over from me, now I am starting to catch myself.” Since the treatment started, doctors have decreased Brennan’s pain medicine signiﬁcantly. “We’re getting the old Jeff back,” said Dr. Versace. “Oxygen is fuel, it’s why you eat, breath and drink. We are giving him an extreme premium fuel.” For Brennan, normal life is snapping back into focus again, bringing hope for him and for others who may be suffering similar pain. For more information contact o2xy-wellness at 403.347.0277.

This is only a summary of some of the main points regarding this topic. It is important that you work with a designated accountant to properly assure that your speciﬁc situation is handled properly.

Nova Chemicals to begin expansion BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express Nova Chemicals Corporation announced they are set to begin construction of a $1 billion expansion project that will be the ﬁrst new polyethylene plant opened in Canada since they opened their last sector in 2003. Partnered with Ledcor, as the lead construction partner to complete the new facility, hopes are high among provincial leaders that it will have a great impact on the economic activity of the region. “Infrastructure involved here would include a third polyethylene reactor that is the centerpiece of the ex-

pansion,” said Randy Woelfel, CEO of Nova Chemical Corporation, at the official launch of the construction project last week. “We have to take the product from the market in a cost effective, quality way,” he said. “So we are doing things on the packaging side here as well and substantially increasing our rail storage and shipping facilities here and that also represents a significant expansion.” With hopes of creating up to 600 new job opportunities by 2014 at the facility, the economic benefits will surely be vast, he said. From commodities purchased to gravel and truck work on the site to restau-

rants and grocery stores – a large variety of businesses are expected to beneﬁt from the expansion. Woelfel stated that the expansion at the plant is expected to boost production from 2.5 billion to 3.5 billion lbs of polyethylene annually. In 2008, as oil and gas production peaked and the recession struck North America, Nova Chemicals feared that the supply of ethane to keep the plant running strong was in short supply. “The outlook looking forward was pretty bleak,” said Woelfel. The ethane supplies required to produce ethylene and polyethylene fell 12%

and continued to slide another 10% by 2010 and the plant was forced to operate at an 85% capacity that left many wondering what the fate of the plant would be, he said. With a critical shortage of feedstock to run the plant, Woelfel and his team were forced to look elsewhere for the products that would keep them running strongly. Woelfel explained the creativity involved with tapping into these resources and how they hope it will secure their production well beyond 2020 and even 2030. Nova Chemicals, due to the Alberta government and its incremental ethane extraction policy which provides ﬁnancial incentives for ethane extraction facilities, hopes to return production to full force by the end of the year and put themselves back on “the biggest growth track we’ve ever seen,” he said. As part of the expansion, Woelfel also announced that Nova Chemicals will begin construction on a new legacy heritage project for the environment on 200 acres of Nova property to the north of the plant. “We will be constructing a wetlands trail through the natural environment that we will be expanding and enhancing and leaving behind a legacy for our-

CAT’s annual one-act festival underway A different set of plays runs each week for event’s duration in Nickle Studio BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Central Alberta Theatre is launching its annual one act festival – Anything Goes On - this week at the Nickle Studio.

Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. There will also be musical entertainment featuring Olivia Smith and Konstantin Vorosmarty. “The one acts are a vehicle for all of our members and volunteers to have a go (at theatre),” said Carole Forhan, producer of ‘Anything Goes On’. It’s a great opportunity for those who perhaps haven’t had the chance to get involved in other CAT shows to experience certain aspects of production. Plays to be showcased the ﬁrst week include Death Takes the Train by D.M. Larson; Roller Coaster by Pam Miller; Where is Gwendolyn March? by Sharon Lightbown; Chicks by Grace McKeaney and Hitting on Women 101 by Bruce Kane. Other highlights include Cinderella Dances with the Stars (Christmas Pantomime) by Albert Azzara. This will feature an introduction and excerpts from the main production set to hit the stage this Christmas season. Cinderella Dances with the Stars runs both weeks of Anything Goes On.

Produced in the style of a traditional English Pantomime, Cinderella is a modern day version of the classic love story crammed with songs, dances and hilarious references to Red Deer’s landmarks, people, businesses and popular culture. “I like to say it’s like a cartoon with humans playing the characters,” said Azzara. Plus it involves audience participation. “Audience members will sing and dance. They can also boo, hiss, cheer and help Cinderella tell time.” The samples shown during the one acts will give audiences a vivid taste of what pantomime productions are all about, he said. As to the others plays, variety is the deﬁning term. In Death Takes the Train, directed by Raegan Alemann, three commuters board a train and death walks in. The three talk about the implications and what this means philosophically and spiritually. Roller Coaster, directed by Pam Miller, is a described as a dark story about substance abuse and one family’s experiences with a suicidal alcoholic. Organizers said the intent is to build awareness and shed light on the stereotypes given to loved ones who have an illness. Where is Gwendolyn Marsh? focuses on a story of unrequited love in a theatre community company. For the second week, ‘Anything Goes On’ continues with At the Orgy by Rich Orloff. Forhan describes it as a lively par-

ody of Abbott and Costello’s classic ‘Who’s on First’. Murder By the Book, by Laurie Hodges Humble and directed by Sue Humphreys, is about a library worker by the name of Susan. She ﬁnds out the woman she’s replaced died in a freak workplace accident. Things aren’t quite right at the library and Susan starts to wonder if it was an accident. Or murder. How About Me Dumpling?, by Elena Rousseau and directed by Judith Moody, follows the story of 40-something Dimitris and his marriage to a much younger woman named Darla. He does absolutely everything to make her happy, to the point that his ex-ﬁancée decides to look into Darla’s past. Moody is thrilled with the opportunity to direct the play, and said that in just 20 minutes, “We evolve from an older gentleman who marries a young bride who is

quite ambitious to where she is emasculating him bit by bit. Then his ex-girlfriend begins to investigate (the new wife). It’s a psychological drama with a very dramatic ending.” Still Life, by Seth Kramer and directed by Nicole Leal, asks what do you do when your purpose has been stolen from you? Michelle lost her artwork and the use of her hands in an apartment ﬁre, and David must help her ﬁnd an answer to this overriding question. Finally, Axed Files, written and directed by Robert Van Der Linden, offers audiences a witty spoof of the popular TV series The X Files. Tickets for ‘Anything Goes On’ ($20) are available at the Black Knight Inn Ticket Centre or by calling 403-755-6626 or visiting www.blackknightinn.ca.

Boom Chucka Boys unleash ‘rockabilly and classic country’ BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Local band the Boom Chucka Boys have seen a virtual whirlwind of activity over the past couple of years. And the summer months will see more gigs and opportunities – including performing at the Calgary Stampede – come their way. “We’ve had a really accelerated growth curve,” explains front man Ryan Langlois. The guys first joined forces three years ago, and already they’ve accomplished much of what your typical band dreams of doing – releasing their first single and recording their debut CD, landing all kinds of gigs, and seeing their fan base steadily grow. Their single Find My Peace of Mind climbed to #41 on the Canadian Country charts and #15 on the Alberta Top 30. “We’ve all – in our own little journeys – put a lot of time in. It hasn’t been overnight, but it’s been fast.” The guys perform June 15 at the Sylvan Lake Multiplex as part of the town’s centennial celebrations. They also open for Gord Bamford on July 10 at Calgary’s Cowboys as part of Stampede week. They also perform during Westerner Days in Red Deer on July 17. Merging classic country, 1950s rockabilly and slick modern Nashville sounds, the Boom Chucka Boys seem to have a knack for walking the fine line between many musical stylings. A whole lot of country, with a splash of rock n’ roll. Sprinkle in some gospel, and little bit of soul. Rounding out the band are Joel Rathjen on lead guitar, Teddy Roy Michaylow on bass and Dave Grobe on the drums. Langlois also credits the guys’ chemistry for not just producing a seamless sound but also helping to fuel the band’s momentum. “There is such a camaraderie and a meshing on stage and with what we do musically, that it looks like we’ve been doing this for a long time,” he explains. “That comes from having true relationships and true friendships. We’re doing life together – we’re not just in a band. That comes across onstage.” They’re also inspired by all era’s of music they pull from the likes of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, CCR, The Band, Dwight Yoakam, Dierks Bentley and Zac Brown Band.

As mentioned, the band took shape about three years ago - in July of 2010. They began honing their musicianship, songwriting, and performance at any live venue that would lend them a stage. Then on a chilly night in January of 2011, CCMA award winning country artist Bamford happened to walk in on them in the middle of a three-set night. Before long a deal was made and The Boom Chucka Boys signed a record deal with Cache Entertainment. Their debut album was produced by award winning producer/songwriter By-

ron Hill. Also, the band was essentially the brainchild of Langlois. And even though there was plenty of music around the house when he was growing up (“It was a pretty eclectic mix”) his knack for playing and singing didn’t service until some time later. “I didn’t start anything musical until I was about 22,” he explains of his own artistic ventures. He was inspired to start singing by watching the song leader at his church. “I had extreme stage fright and nerves,” he recalls. But he kept at it just the same.

That same music director eventually offered Langlois guitar lessons, and it proved a pivotal time. “I picked it up extremely quickly, and before long I was singing in church. But I felt like I wanted to do more.” He started writing a few songs and taking opportunities at little coffee houses whenever he could. “It wasn’t long after I started strumming away on the guitar that I started to get the songwriting bug and started thinking about my own songs.” But he wanted to team up with other like-minded individuals. “There was always something in me about being in a band. I didn’t want to be a stand alone solo artist.” He started asking around, looking for musicians to hook up with. “I started calling myself Ryan Langlois and the Boom Chucka Trio – for whoever I would have with me.” Later one when he connected with Grobe, Rathjen and Michaylow, we settled on the Boom Chucka Boys and operating as a band – not focusing on one guy but having four players in the show. It’s been good.” Rockabilly with its nostalgic 1950s flair is very popular in the southern U.S. and it’s continually gaining ground in Canada. “There’s a familiarity with it. I like that what we do is easily accessible to everybody. You don’t have to be a musician to appreciate it,” he adds. “You can just sit back and just enjoy it. “It’s not that it’s simple and easy – it’s just that there’s something familiar about what we do. People easily gravitate to it and relate to it, and you see that when you are playing it. “There’s an element of it that does pay homage to the older sound.” But the younger set are pretty excited about what they guys are coming up with as well. “We’ve played shows where there are five-year-olds out there dancing as well as a 70-year-old couple out there spinning around the floor as well.” Meanwhile, the guys are prepping for a busy summer, and they’re excited about introducing their tunes to bigger audiences. “The four of us are doing what we were designed to do. When you do that, there’s a joy and something so incredibly appealing about that. That’s what people see and buy into.”

Vancouver singer brings artistry to Cowboys Rykka gearing up to perform new tunes from debut CD Kodiak BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express There is little in the way of sonic exploration that Vancouver singer/guitarist Rykka is hesitant about exploring. She performs at Cowboys on June 13. Long before she was known as Rykka (her given name is Christina Maria), she was already a staple in clubs and cafés around the world where she performed acoustic sets and honed a folk sound. But as she embarked on her latest songwriting stint, her music took on distinctly new form.

Bursting with rock arrangements and hook-laden melodies, this is music that carries a bold immediacy. Rykka got an early start with music, with her folks being big fans of a spectrum of genres. Her dad enjoyed his classic rock while her mother encouraged her children to sing harmonies as she sang lead while practicing jazz tunes. “All the time – when we were driving to elementary school – we’d be singing in three-part harmonies,” she recalls with a laugh. “Also, I always wanted to be a musician. My mom recently told me that when I was 10 I said I was going to be a

singer in a band.” Rykka eventually took up the guitar as well. Over the years she would sing as much as she could, and even busked for several years – an experience she said she wouldn’t trade for anything. “I learned so much about performance.” She previously recorded under her given name, but with the new disc being quite a shift away from her older material, she felt a name change was in order as well. Musically, some of the changes came from writing songs using a keyboard as opposed to a guitar, for example. “I wanted to change it up a little bit.” And speaking of the new disc, there is definitely a feeling of energy just bursting to get out at every turn, from the disc opener Blackie to a fired-up live version of Electric. Carolina, with its infectious rhythms and keyboard wizardry, is yet another gem on the disc. Showing another side to her means of expression, the haunting Travel Back in Time opens simply with acoustic guitar and then steadily builds in momentum. Musically, it’s a wonder, and the tune also showcases Rykka’s voice in a reflective new light as well. Straight Line also showcases more of her unrestricted vision as to putting a song together with its jazz-inflected sensibilities.

All this ‘breaking new ground’ was born over a stretch of time in relative isolation, she says. “For the last year, I’ve been writing in seclusion, really far away. The music has evolved so much from where it was.” The 12 songs that make up Kodiak were penned in the European farmhouse where she composed for much of 2011. “I’m SwissCanadian, so I go back and forth a lot. I have a nice little record label in Switzerland, and a label here. I do a lot of tours in Europe as well.” This past February saw her cover several dates in Germany, and she heads back later this summer for more festival dates in Switzerland as well. Sessions for Kodiak subsequently took place in Vancouver’s Mushroom Studios and District Four Recordings with input from engineer Sean Penner, mixer Warne Livesey and producer Ryan Guldemond. Interestingly, all of the CD’s tracks are sung from the perspective of different animals — Blackie - a murder of crows; Down in the Depths - deep sea fish. “Ryan has a really strong vision,” says Rykka. “I wanted to work with him because I knew that we would clash. He fights for his idea and I fight for mine, and what we come away with is the right thing to do. “The music is pushed to a whole new level because of that.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Two young boys go out on the river near their Arkansas town and land on an island which features a boat up in a tree (from a recent ﬂood). But someone is living in the boat and soon they meet him. He is a rather scruffy man (Matthew McConaughey) named Mud.

Sunday, June 16

He’s hiding out on the island, carries a gun and is almost starving. So they make a deal. They’ll bring him food and the boys can have the boat when he leaves. Mud is also planning to get together with the love of his life (Reese Witherspoon). The two boys, wonderfully played by Tye Sheridan and Jacob Loﬂand, become friends and soon all three are working hard to get the boat out of the tree and ready for the river. But Sheridan is having problems at home where his parents are breaking up. And there is a gang of men trying to ﬁnd Mud because he killed a man who treated Witherspoon badly. Sheridan’s character is coming of age as he learns about life and falling in

love. This is a leisurely, southern drama, and not for all tastes. The acting is excellent. It is especially nice to see McConaughey in something besides romantic comedies and there is an excellent supporting cast that includes Sam Shepard, Sarah Paulson and Michael Shannon. This reviewer is not sure all the plot twists work, or are necessary, but this is a better than average drama. Rating: four deer out of ﬁve

Future bright for golfer Matt Codd BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Red Deer’s Matt Codd is in the “A” position to use a golf term in describing his future. He’s able to take a year off from all that is Red Deer and head down to Phoenix to play more golf than he could manage in the cold, wintery North. “I’ll play a lot of junior golf and then after my year off I’ll be going to university in the states somewhere,” said the 18-yearold recently at the launch of the McLennan Ross Sun Junior Golf Tour at the Wolf Creek Resort. The 2012 tour champion has his eye on the San Antonio area or somewhere in the south of Texas in order to continue his golf career and get an education. This is quite a leap for a young man who

started playing on the junior tour some years back and turned around his game from “not very good” to leading the way on the tour ﬁnal last year. He does manage to get in some training during the school year, heading to a family home in Phoenix once a month and setting up a net in his basement here to get a few swings in each day to stay in the rhythm. Codd says the tour is a stepping stone for so many young men and women, introducing them to the game and at the end of a year you have played in so many events while picking up a golf bag full of experience. “Just the whole environment and learning the rules - it was really beneﬁcial,” he said. He still wants to compete on this tour and repeat as the champion but also on the radar is earning a spot on the National

Junior golf team by playing well in the tour events as well as the junior amateur competitions in Alberta and the Canadian Junior event. “ I ‘ve got my set of goals and hopefully I will achieve most of them.” One of the advantages Codd sees playing on the McLennan Ross Sun tour is how the two dozen courses around the province are set up to challenge the good players and not crush the spirit of those just learning the game. “They’re not going out there and playing the furthest yardage and greens aren’t crazy on the stimpmeter,” he said. Codd says in addition to the course setup, the tour is well received by the people running the courses and the young players are treated very well. This respect for the young players is an important aspect of growing the game of

golf in Alberta according to the tour director since day one, Dunc Mills. “There is a very good level of support from the golf courses on the tour and around the province for that matter,” said Mills. “Golf courses that don’t make room for junior golfers are shooting themselves in the foot in my opinion. This is the growth of the game, the future of the game.” Mills says the junior tour though is just one piece of a very large puzzle for these young men and women. “These kids work very, very hard. They practice a lot, their parents support them, there’s a lot of travel involved and expenses,” he said. With all this in place the future looks very bright for players like Matt Codd and those who follow on the junior tour. sports@reddeerexpress.com

Local trainers meet competition goals BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express We are constantly facing challenges in our busy lives, from the very small right up to life-changing ones. Most of them occur naturally but sometimes we create our own challenges to see how we measure up. Sam Cooper and Josee Roshuk, trainers at One to 1 Fitness in Red Deer decided to step up to meet the challenge of preparing for a body building competition in Red Deer this past weekend. Cooper says for her the event had nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with setting a goal and meeting it.

“I knew it would take a lot of concentration and focus and there would be a lot of days that were mentally taxing, emotionally taxing,” she said. “ I was really curious how I would step up to the plate and handle it.” For Josee this competition provided her with a chance to motivate her clients and push them to stick to their own goals when it comes to ﬁtness. She said they see her training for 16 weeks in order to get in shape for the competition so maybe it can provide them with some inspiration. For her, one challenge within the training was the change in her diet. “It’s very strict, basically eating eggs

and chicken and spinach,” she said. “So just to have that self discipline to not eat cheese was very difﬁcult for me.” Cooper said the whole process over the past 16 weeks or so has been a real learning experience and it might cause some who know her to tackle their own challenges. “If Sam can do something like that then I’ll be able to do something like this. They’ll be able to choose something for themselves to reach for,” she said. “Especially my family, just seeing that and seeing me push through, really committing to something.” Roshuk says other parts of her life were falling by the wayside as she put essential-

ly all of her time into getting ready for the competition. “A lot of my time was taken up in the gym doing 80 minutes of cardio a day, doing weights ﬁve times a week,” she said. “So just having to sacriﬁce spending time with my friends and my family.” Both agreed what was being given up on their part is worth it in the end however. “It’s been good. If it was easy then everybody would do it,” said Cooper. But Roshuk had a plan to follow up on once the weekend passed and she was able to change back to a more diverse diet. “I’m going to go for probably two blizzards,” she said. sports@reddeerexpress.com

Quebec soccer turban decision ‘ﬂat-out dumb’ A seven-year-old Sikh boy in Quebec has been prevented from playing soccer because the provincial body claims wearing a turban is dangerous. I had to read that one twice because I couldn’t believe a ruling sports body could be presenting a stance which is ﬂat-out dumb. A spokesperson for the soccer federation in Quebec said they don’t know if there have been

JIM

CLAGGETT any incidents and they don’t know if it’s dangerous so that’s why they are banning it.

I’m not making that up. She went in front of reporters and trotted out that gem. With a serious look on her face as if she was doing all little Sikh children a big favour. Maybe the translation from French to English got botched but what I hear is, something may or may not happen but just in case it might or might not, we are not going to let kids with turbans run around and kick a soccer ball.

Wow! Is the turban going to act on its own or will the youngster wearing it wield it in order to take over the game in a threatening manner? Maybe the plan is to play defence and rip it off of his head, throwing it in the face of an opponent thereby causing the opponent to crash into another player or the goal post. If Sikh men could wear the turban and die for our country in two world wars, why can’t these people see how dense this decision is and how blatantly racist it appears to be when no other associations are doing the same thing? Back in the day when bigotry was a popular past time for the low IQ’ers this would have been ignored by those who should be outraged and laid to rest quickly, with a smug smirk on the faces of those who “won the day.” The Canadian Soccer Association has ordered the Quebec branch to reverse the decision but it seems that bunch doesn’t ‘parlez vous’ English when it

comes to this subject. In 2013 this should not be tolerated and in fact handled with some form of punishment to the cave dwellers who ﬁgured this was the proper way to go. A few federal politicians

have spoken out but the provincially elected ofﬁcials seem to have lock jaw. The Quebec Soccer Federation deserves to be trotted out in front of everyone and given a red card. sports@reddeerexpress.com

Packed house at Havoc Fighting Championships T he octagon was filled with brute force on June 7 at the Sheraton Hotel as Havoc Fighting Championships filled the banquet room to the brim. With many local fighters ranging from first time to amateur to professional and well seasoned – the 11 fights were packed with edge-of-your-seat action from start to finish. Blaine Cust’s first time in the ring even helped to raise $10,150 as he squared off against Grayson Wells, also a first-time fighter. The 42-year-old Cust pledged to donate his proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society in an effort to fight a disease that has plagued his family many times. The main event of the evening was Josh Machan vs. John Fraser and lasted a meager 22 seconds. While both fighters threw a fury of fists, neither could land a hit until Machan ultimately grasped hold of Fraser in an unforgiving guillotine chokehold and won the round. This left Machan with a 10-4 professional record in the 145lb class. The fights are available to view online through www.topmmanews. com and were blogged from the site as well. This was the second of the Havoc Fighting championships held, the first being in December 2012 and another round of mayhem is already in place for Sept. 6. Tickets may be purchased at www.havocfc.com.

LIFESTYLE Feeling hungry will slow you down So, you have decided to try and shed a few pounds, get rid of a little bit of the belly, possibly the hips? Great!

Jack

WHEELER When carrying a few extra pounds, weight loss can do great things for your mental health and confidence but also decrease stress on various other systems within the body like the heart and blood vessels. The problem for most people is how they go about accomplishing this goal. But hey, it isn’t your fault. Popular media tends to emphasize the need to reduce food intake to levels that leave most individuals starving on their so called ‘sustainable’ meal plan. Although calorie intake or food intake does need to be adjusted more often than not, the new diet cannot and absolutely should not leave you feeling hunger pangs all day long. And here is why. Your body is a very smart and highly engineered system. We have various systems and processes in place in our bodies to make sure they respond to the things they need too like hunger. Believe it or not, when you feel hungry, it is your body telling you it needs energy to maintain vital processes, like digestion, blood flow, thinking etc. All the stuff we don’t have a whole lot of control over. The issues arise when hunger is ignored. The body is telling you to feed it, when you ignore this it plays its own unique little trick to reduce the calories it burns. And no, I don’t mean you will exercise less, I mean it will lower your metabolic rate. This is the energy required to run processes and activities in your body you have absolutely no control over. This is bad. Elite level endurance athletes actually make use of this process to allow them to run faster during races, or bike further. But for someone who wants to boost the metabolism, this is not a good goal. So, we have it clearly defined now that feeling hungry isn’t a good thing. Well how do we modify the diet to make sure you stay satisfied while not eating too

much food causing more weight gain? Your foods you eat play a big role, so calories are important but the quality of the calories is almost more important than the total. There is a hierarchy in satisfaction between the major food categories protein is the most satisfying, fats are next and carbs are dead last. Now, I am not telling you to go out and eat a huge steak, the goal is moderation. Each meal should contain a quality source of protein and fats (beef, chicken, turkey, ﬁsh, eggs etc.) and also a good serving of nutrient-rich carbohydrates. Nutrient-rich carbohydrates are vegetables. Fruits are ok but are high in sugar. Things like bread and pastas are not nutrient-rich and more calorie-dense. Therefore the more you can reduce these items in your diet and replace them with

low calorie veggies that are filling from the space they occupy is an ideal way toward weight loss. Healthy fats can also come from things like avocado, nuts and seeds and olive oil. Another trick to staying full is making sure the stomach has something in it. We all know drinking water is important, so why not make sure you have lots of water throughout the day as well. This sets off stretch receptors in the stomach that can help reduce hunger pangs, just like the veggies that are lower in calories than bread but take up lots of space. The final key to weight loss is good variety in your diet. Mix things up! Make sure you don’t over consume any type of macro (protein, fat or carb) or also specific types of foods within them. So veg-

gies are good, but only carrots and sugar peas means your sugar intake will still be high and therefore not ideal for getting you the weight loss you desire. The key lies in good balance, like in all areas of life. Meals should have each major food source represented and leave you feeling satisﬁed. As we know now, when we get hungry and don’t respond to those signals, we end up having to do even more work on the treadmill just to stay weight stable. Not good. So make sure your diet has good variety, and no one type of food or speciﬁc food is over emphasized. This will lead you to success on your endeavour toward a lower bodyweight and more important, body fat percentage. Jack Wheeler is a personal trainer and owner of 360 Fitness in Red Deer.

A diagnosis that is missed 98% of the time What’s the diagnosis when a middle-aged man seems to be dying of heart failure, but his coronary arteries and heart valves are normal? I doubt that many have an answer. But don’t feel bad as it’s also missed by most doctors even though iron overload is the most common genetic disease of white males. I’ve heard this remark many times from patients. “I’m so tired. Could the problem be that my blood

Dr. Gifford

JONES is low?” Sometimes the patient is right and iron is needed to treat anemia. But if the diagnosis is hemochromatosis (iron over-

load), a prescription for iron is a death sentence. Trosseau, a French physician, ﬁrst described this problem in 1865. At that time hemochromatosis was considered a rare occurrence. Now one and a half million North Americans have this abnormal gene, or about one in 250 people. But only about 10% will develop symptoms for reasons we do not understand. Iron overload is primarily a disease of white people.

It is less common in blacks and practically unknown in Asians. Normally, it makes its appearance at ages in the 40s and 50s and affects ﬁve times more men than women. We all need iron to survive every day and consume 10 to 20 milligrams (mg) of iron in our diet. But we only need one mg, so a little iron goes a long way. This same amount is lost daily from shedding skin cells, bowel and urinary tract contents. Hepcidin, a liver protein, normally protects us from iron overload with the bowel absorbing what’s needed and discarding the rest in feces. But if a defective gene is present there’s decreased production of hepcidin, the intestinal balance is lost, resulting in unregulated absorption of iron. It’s been said that “Too much of anything is worse than none at all.” In this case excessive amounts of iron cause damage to many organs in the body. This is the reason that the middle-aged man with normal coronary arteries and heart valves is

suffering from heart failure. The muscles of the heart have been infiltrated with iron causing a weakened heartbeat. Too much iron can also interfere with the electrical conduction system of the heart, triggering an irregular rhythm. The liver is the organ most often affected by iron overload. It may result in cirrhosis of the liver which in turn can lead to liver cancer. In addition, excessive amounts of iron will gradually destroy the pancreas that produces insulin. This results in a disease called, ‘bronze diabetes’ since the iron deposited in the skin causes a bronze pigmentation. Arthritis is also a common symptom involving the knuckles and first joints of the first two fingers. Men often notice a loss of sex drive or impotence. And women are more likely to have scanty periods or face early menopause. Hemochromatosis is often a missed diagnosis for one common reason. No one thinks about it. Often patients see several doctors before the diagnosis

is made. One would think that with so many tests being done today, iron overload would be diagnosed and treated. But the routine blood test does not detect it. Doctors must check the blood level of serum ferritin, the protein that stores iron and the best indicator that excessive amounts of iron are present. But if further testing shows that transferrin, the protein that carries iron in the circulation is saturated with iron, this conﬁrms the diagnosis. Be sure to ask your doctor about blood ferritin if you are aware of a family history of hemochromatosis. Or if family members have been treated for unexplained cases of cirrhosis, heart failure or if liver function tests have been abnormal. It’s also prudent to check blood ferritin if you’re taking Vitamin C. This vitamin increases the amount of iron absorbed from the bowel and could result in hastening the effects of hemochromatosis.

Keep an open mind when considering home decor On certain days, I sit in front of my computer for days and wonder how I will fill my screen with prose. I will my fingers to fly over the keyboard and come up with something magical and inspirational for my loyal readers but some days….no magic and no inspiration! Today is that day; I have been tapping the keys for a few days with no end in sight and nothing on my mind. My distraction is valid, I am getting married in a few weeks and although the ceremony is simple there are still many details to co-ordinate before we tie the knot! My eye for design and passion for colour haunts me at a time like this and it is a struggle

Kim

LEWIS to ﬁnd the items I need in the fabulous vibrant orange that I love. I had hopes of orange shoes to add a punch of wow to my cream dress but could not ﬁnd the right combination of colour and style that I loved so I compromised with cream shoes adding the orange punch elsewhere. Often our choices in design (or weddings) are dictated by what we can arrange or buy and less with what we think we actually want.

I just had a client in showing me her ultra cool ensuite sink and she said “I wanted a rectangular sink but I didn’t have a big enough vanity for it”. Understandable, I wanted orange shoes but didn’t ﬁnd the ones that were perfect. Better to get what works with what you have than trying to stuff an oversized sink onto an undersized vanity! I had found the perfect shade of orange in a 4” stiletto heel but would have towered over my ﬁancé at our wedding. It’s all about compromise. What is a fashionable gal to do when she desperately wants something for her home but it just won’t work? How will I LIVE if I can’t have the glitzy chan-

delier for my dining room that is obviously too big and too far out of my budget? My professional answer as your favorite designer? GET OVER IT! I say that gently and with a smile on my face because I care about your well being and don’t want you to stress about something you can’t possibly have – it’s just not healthy! What I have found in design is there is always a compromise, always a budget option for the look and style you want. You will almost always be able to ﬁnd a price equivalent of the item you are longing for if you learn to manage your expectations and lower the emotional value of items you think you

need. In the long term, our tastes will change and that item that you longed for will become as dated and annoying to look at as the brass and smoked glass light hanging in your foyer. The search may be longer but I promise you will eventually ﬁnd most things you want and everything that you need for your home. The trick is having an open mind when it comes to you ﬁnding your perfect design element and expect to have to sometimes do some research. “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” Henry David Thoreau Kim Lewis is an interior designer in Red Deer with Carpet Colour Centre.

market and the prime rate set by the government. The latter hasn’t changed in well over a year, and likely isn’t going to change anytime soon, well, so the government says, but the factors they set the rates on are in positive territory - job growth, market strength, even the weaker economies in Europe are coming around. So the prime rate is sticking at the 3% mark for now. To discuss fixed rates, one has to discuss the global market. First, last month we saw the second largest job growth rate in Canada, ever! Our unemployment rate dropped to 7.10% from 7.23%, with a gain in 95,000 new jobs being created. Add to that the U.S. economy has seen some of its strongest employment growth since 2006, and its housing market had some of the largest gains since that same period as well. More jobs equals more confident consumers. More confident consumers equates to higher spending. Higher spending means higher profits, higher profits means economic growth. All of this growth will mean the stock market will grow and when that happens more large investors now take their money from the safe and secure bond market back into the

equity markets, thus meaning the bond market makers now have to increase their yield to attract those investors to stay invested in their funds. So with the bond market prices increasing (where large institutional investors borrow their funds for mortgages) these pricing increases are passed onto the consumer in the mortgage market. All this positive news came to a head last Monday when the employment figures came out. Since then, mortgage lenders have had to increase their mortgage interest rate pricing as it costs them more to buy their money. In dollars and cents terms, pricing on average has gone up 0.100.15%, this means that a lender that had a 2.84% special is now pricing between 2.94% and 2.99% (NOTE: these are for “live deal” specials that lenders offer and NOT on preapprovals). The pricing for pre-approvals has gone up to an average of 3.09%-3.19% depending on the lender and their pricing requirements. You have to realize the average discounted wholesale interest rate (as quoted above) for the 25 years previous to the 2008 meltdown was 5.85%. These interest rates are so low, that when you come to renew your mortgage at the average five-year fixed interest rate five years from now, your payments will go up 25%. It is not surprising to see the reactions to the payment increase when I educate my clients but as long as they prepare themselves, they will be fine. If they don’t heed the advice, they’re in for payment shock.
