Interest in Red Deer’s history keeps growing Local officials continue to create ways to explore the City’s past

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express

A

rich and varied emphasis on exploring facets of local history continues to unfold in the City.

There are lots of fascinating ways to learn about Red Deer’s past including several newly-developed walking tours. They were officially introduced last month, but officials say their popularity continues to grow as folks tap into the stories of the City’s early days.

Several walking tours were mapped out in the early 1980s, but City staff felt it was high time to revamp those tours and broaden their historical scope.

“It’s part of a retake on our heritage, and trying to promote our heritage and identity,” said Janet Pennington, Heritage Community Development coordinator.

The new tours are part of the Red Deer Revealed line, and they help to tell the story of our community’s vibrant heritage. Red Deerians and visitors alike can choose to go on one or all of the new tours, which will guide them through the City’s downtown core. They include The Ghost Collection Tour, First Impressions of Red Deer and Saturday in the City.

Also included in Red Deer Revealed is a children’s activity map and 58 new heritage signs as well.

As Patterson explains, the signs features historic photos also.

“They portray an image of what was.”

Pennington said the search for material to highlight on the tours included counting on members of the community as well. “We didn’t want to rely on just two or three people to pick the sights, we really wanted to get some input.”

One means of doing that was dropping by such events as the Mayor’s Garden Party, seniors centres and Canada Day celebrations with large community maps.

People could mark things on the maps that had special historical significance to them.

“We didn’t want the tours to be just a series of old buildings,

HERITAGE – Janet Pennington, the City’s Heritage Community Development coordinator, stands beside ‘Sound the Alarm’, one of the statues in the City’s Ghost Collection Tour. we wanted some sort of themes as well.” The focus initially was on the downtown, but committee members are looking at planning more tours of historic spots throughout the City as well.

There are plenty of areas to delve into, from unique manufacturing initiatives to a range of social aspects across time, too.

“These will be walking, driving or biking tours as well.”

Of course, the bronze ghost series of statues continues to attract lots of attention, and stirs up plenty of questions about the specific stories they represent.

Pennington said it’s a challenge to keep up with demand when it comes to copies of The Ghost Collection Tour brochures.

The collection includes 10 life-

Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express

sized bronze statues placed in and around the downtown core.

It all started with the popular statue of ‘Reverend Leonard Gaetz’ near the intersection of Ross. St. and Gaetz Ave. The statue was unveiled in 1994.

‘Choices’ followed in 1995. This was followed by ‘Francis Wright Galbraith’ in 1996, ‘Francis the Pig’ in 1998, ‘Sound the Alarm’ and ‘Reaching out’ in 1999, ‘Let the Music Play’ in 2003, ‘Hazel Braithwaite’ in 2004, ‘Doris & Mickey’ in 2004 and ‘Waiting for Gordon’ in 2012.

Francis the Pig, the famous ‘ham on the lam’, was relocated to Rotary Recreation park just east of the new spray park. He was located on Little Gaetz Ave. south of 52nd St. prior to exten-

sive redevelopment work done in the area.

The legend of Francis began in July 1990 when he escaped from a local abattoir.

For nearly five months the fugitive roamed the parklands of Red Deer, eluding predators and several attempts to catch him.

This freedom-loving pig was finally captured in early 1991. Unfortunately, shortly afterward, Francis succumbed to injuries he received in the attempt.

Francis captured the imagination of the nation and won many fans.

And as Patterson said, it’s stories like this that enrich the community because of the sense of story and folklore that surround them as well.

She said the tours have not only been a hit with folks visiting the City, but those who were born and raised here enjoy them because they often bring back a world of memories of how it used to be.

Patterson recalls leading a community history tour, which should have only taken about 45 minutes. “Sometimes people want so much information, the last one was two and one-half hours long. We kept saying do you want us to stop and they said ‘No’. So it was lots of fun.”

Dogs and cats new transit passengers

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express Some new passengers will be seen riding on Red Deer transit next month.

Starting Aug. 4 small dogs and cats will be allowed to board buses provided they are contained in hand-held crates.

The City of Red Deer will trial the ‘Pets on Board’ program until Jan. 31. Afterwards, the program will be evaluated to determine if it should be made permanent and/or if it should be expanded to include other small pets.

“This is a small change we can make in an effort to become a more pet-friendly City,” said Greg Scott, director of Community Services. “Many cities are going this way to encourage transit use and increase accessibility and quality of life for families with pets.

If we want to encourage people to ride transit, we want to open the doors to all members of the family – including the family pet.”

Transit must balance the desire to be pet-friendly with the comfort of all passengers on buses. Restric-

tions will be in place and include allowing only small dogs and cats, provided they are contained in fully enclosed, clean, hand-held crates appropriate to the animal’s size.

All crates must have a solid bottom capable of containing any animal waste; crates must be small enough to fit on the owner’s lap and only one hand-held crate allowed per passenger. Passengers are also responsible for the safety of their pets and must hold onto crates at all times.

If there is room on the bus, crates may be placed on the floor beside the owner without blocking the aisle or restricting other passengers.

Transit operators may refuse trips if pets misbehave or pose a health or safety risk and when the bus is busy there may not be room for pets. Call Red Deer Transit to find out which trips tend to be busy.

The restrictions do not apply to assistant/service dogs.

City officials said concerns with allergies are minimized when pets are contained in crates, which

reduce the spread of dander. If notified by passengers with pet allergies, passengers carrying dogs or cats on board are asked to sit a few rows away.

“It’s a question of respect among passengers,” said Steve Parkin, transit operations superintendent.

“If airlines can do this successfully, Red Deer Transit can too.

“We want to accommodate riders who want to visit our off leash parks or bring their pets to the vet.

If the ‘Pets on Board’ trial program runs smoothly and maintains the safety and comfort of all passengers, it can go a long way toward making the City a more accessible place for residents and their pets.”

He added he doesn’t think the demand for pets will be overly high.

“We are a little bit dog unfriendly as a City so we are trying to be more inclusive,” he said. “I think if there is any resistance it will come from those who are allergic to dogs and cats but hopefully we’ve helped solve that issue by making sure they will be crated.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

City sees overall decrease in crime Crime statistics recently released show a continued decrease in persons and property crimes and overall criminal code offences in the second quarter of 2013.

“We saw improvements in the first quarter of this year over the same time last year, and we continue to see a positive downward trend with fewer persons crimes, property crimes and overall criminal code offences being reported again in the second quarter,” said City Manager Craig Curtis.

The City has seen 16.3% fewer total persons crimes year to date, which includes everything from offences such as homicide, robbery, and assault. Total property crimes, which includes offences like break and enter, arson and fraud, are also down 12.6%, year to date.

Overall, the City saw 11.8% fewer criminal code offences this year to date.

“Red Deer is a safe community but there is always room to improve, and with a continued focus on community safety, crime pre-

vention and policing, we aim to do just that,” said Mayor Morris Flewwelling. “These numbers speak to some of the work that’s already been done, and City council remains committed to continually improving the health and safety of our City.”

Crime statistics are re-

leased on a quarterly basis in April, July, October and January.

More specifically, robberies in the City are down 33% compared to this time last year with 56 to date in 2013 and 84 from January to July in 2012.

Sexual assaults are also

down so far this year with a total of 47 being reported.

Last year from January to July there were 56 sexual assaults reported. Break and enters have also decreased compared to this time last year. In 2012 there were 563 break and enters reported from January to

July and this year there are a total of 418 reported

break and enters to date. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

OPINION Pets onboard Next month Red Deer Transit will see some new passengers of the furry variety.

Dogs and cats will be the latest riders to join the fleet and this concept should prove to be an interesting venture for the City.

While some residents may be up in arms about their four-legged passengers, we are looking forward to seeing how the latest pilot project pans out.

Cats and dogs will officially be welcomed onboard starting Aug. 4. The City will run the pilot project until Jan. 31.

Allowing small dogs and cats on City transit is an interesting concept. We understand that there are some Red Deerians who don’t have other options when it comes to taking their beloved pets to the vet or to the off leash parks.

However, for those who suffer allergies, it could prove to be a real problem especially if you are planted next to Fido on a long cross-City trip.

Yes, the City will try to minimize this impact to those suffering from allergies by only accepting small cats and dogs that are crated. But does that make a big difference with dander and hair that will inevitably float throughout the bus? This is just one of the questions that remains to be answered.

The City has also laid out a series of regulations that must be adhered to when bringing Fluffy on the bus.

Restrictions will be in place and include allowing only small dogs and cats, provided they are contained in fully enclosed, clean, hand-held crates appropriate to the animal’s size.

All crates must have a solid bottom capable of containing animal waste; crates must be small enough to fit on the owner’s lap and only one hand-held crate allowed per passenger. Passengers are also responsible for the safety of their pets and must hold onto crates at all times.

If there is room on the bus, crates may be placed on the floor beside the owner without blocking the aisle or restricting other passengers. Transit operators may refuse trips if pets misbehave or pose a health or safety risk and when the bus is busy there may not be room for pets.

Call Red Deer Transit to find out which trips tend to be busy. Red Deer did not come up with the pets onboard idea originally, City officials have studied other municipalities who allow the same thing.

Officials with the City have said, if airlines can do it, why can’t we?

Ultimately Red Deerians should keep an open mind as some are quick to judge. Red Deer Transit hopes to garner more ridership by allowing cats and dogs on the busses as well.

We look forward to seeing what the outcome of the pilot project is.

The Beatles, John Diefenbaker and chronic subsidy seekers Back in 1962 John F. Kennedy had been president of the United States for one year, four lads from Liverpool were about to hit it big in the music world, and a Saskatchewan lawyer, John Diefenbaker, was in his fifth year as Prime Minister of Canada.

In retrospect, 1962 was also notable for another reason: it was the start of a trail identifying corporate welfare recipients, many of whom have sought subsidies from the federal government ever since.

“Corporate welfare” occurs when governments transfer tax dollars to companies, not in exchange for some good or service, but simply to give or loan money, and on a variety of justifications such as supposed job creation, the desire to create or buff up some sector, or so-called “regional development.”

Recently, I asked Indus-

Mark

MILKE try Canada for information on disbursements to businesses since the early 1960s.

The department could only provide information stored electronically over the decades. Still, what was available was fascinating.

The result of that request revealed the hollowness of one claim often advanced in support of subsidies to business: that “acorns” will grow to “oak trees,” i.e., from small businesses into large corporations, and then cease taking handouts.

Instead, what is evident from the data is that many “oak trees” never stop asking for handouts.

Phone: 403-346-3356 Fax: 403-347-6620

Over the five decades, it turns out $22.1billion was handed to business (all figures inflation adjusted to 2012 dollars) with half of that granted or loaned to just 25 companies.

The earliest recipient of corporate welfare from Industry Canada was Leigh Instruments. Its first cheque arrived in 1962, a $3.4 million conditional loan. That company harvested a total of $54 million from government up until its last disbursement in 1989.

The most frequent and most lavishly rewarded of the subsidy-seekers over the decades was the aerospace company Pratt & Whitney, a division of U.S.based United Technologies.

Starting in 1970, Pratt & Whitney made 75 requests to the department of Industry and received almost $3.3 billion in grants or loans.

Its most recent cheque ar-

rived in 2010 in the form of an $80.4 million conditionally repayable contribution (a loan that might or might not have to be repaid). Last year, the parent company had net income of U.S. $5.2 billion.

Bombardier, next on the Top 25 list, started asking for money in 1966. It has received just over $1.1 billion from the Department of Industry. Its most recent cheque was a $102.5 million conditionally repayable contribution in 2009. Bombardier’s most recent reported net income was $598 million in 2012.

On the other end of the scale, apparently there is no business too small to be considered for taxpayer assistance: between 1962 and 2010, $856,570 went to 24 ice cream shops.

The records I accessed are only from Industry Canada. This is really just the tip of the iceberg for

The Red Deer Express is a proud newspaper of

Publisher | Tracey Scheveers

this five-decade stretch: the $22.1 billion excludes money handed out by other federal departments and every province and municipality.

The last time I looked at the entire business subsidy take, using Statistics Canada data from 1994 to 2007, it turned out $202 billion had been disbursed by all levels of government in that 13year period alone.

Space does not permit an in-depth examination, but as I’ve written about previously in six reports, the justifications for corporate welfare are multiple, flawed and fail real-world examinations of how subsidies work (or more often, do not). They range from unsupportable claims of job creation (corporate welfare redistributes jobs among businesses, it doesn’t create them) to the oft-heard excuse that other countries subsidize their aerospace,

automotive, energy or mining sectors so Canada must do the same.

Nonsense.

If France, for example, wishes to have French taxpayers subsidize airplanes so they can sell them to Canada cheaper, that would be unfortunate for the French treasury. It doesn’t mean Canada’s taxpayers should continually be dragged into the taxpayer-subsidized fight so Canadian planes can be sold more cheaply to Americans or Germans.

This is especially true given that multiple companies have sought subsidies since the 1960s. It is long past due for governments to let such “oak tree” companies exist without additional billions in taxpayer support.

Residents can provide their input to questions at www.reddeer.ca/identity or www.UncoverRedDeer. com until July 31, as part of the project that aims to uncover Red Deer’s authentic identity and build a com-

munity story. “Some common themes are deďŹ nitely starting to emerge as to what makes Red Deer tick,â€? said Julia Harvie-Shemko, director of communications & strategic planning. “The questions have

made Red Deerians stop and think about what they truly like about where they live, and what makes us unique. “Residents and non-

After July 31, the responses will be compiled and analysed for common threads about Red Deer’s character, and a narrative – or community story – will be written.

While time is running out for this ďŹ rst, “uncoveringâ€? phase, there will still be plenty of time to weigh in on Red Deer’s identity.

The second, “validatingâ€? phase will see the Identity Team revisit the public to conďŹ rm the accuracy of what was heard.

The ďŹ nal, “revealingâ€? phase will publicly share Red Deer’s authentic community story. “It’s important we hear from as many people as possible,â€? said Harvie-Shemko. “Our City has a diverse population, and as we connect with more members of the community, we get a better sense of Red Deer’s personality and a clearer picture of what we all value.â€?

“How to get of your Back & Neck Pain for Good!”

RID E

very year more than 14.3 million office visits for back pain are reported. It’s the second-most frequent reason that people visit their doctor. The results of these visits are predictable. The options are rest, hot and cold packs, pain medication, and physical therapy. Chronic sufferers looking for relief soon hear that only two paths exist – either live with the pain, or undergo surgery.

Spinal Care Canada Solutions is a noninvasive, in-office procedure that may offer quick relief as well as long-term results for neck pain, back pain, herniated, bulging or degenerated discs, sciatica, and osteoarthritis.

Spinal Care Canada uses an FDAregistered computerized mechanism that provides for exacting treatment of the cervical spine (neck) as well as the lumbar spine (low back).

This approach is to non-surgically treat the actual cause of neck and back pain. If you have bulging and herniated discs, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, post-surgical failures, arthritis and related challenges, you have an altogether new chance to possibly relieve nagging and chronic pain.

People across the province using Spinal Care Canada Solutions are reporting relief of their pain. They are requiring less medication and are able to enjoy normal, everyday activities again.

Spinal Care Canada Solutions can be a relaxing procedure that may provide relief from the symptoms of pain and may also stimulate the natural, self-healing abilities of your body.

The procedure uses a FDA-registered computer-controlled machine to provide gentle distraction of the afflicted spinal areas. Many patients have been successfully treated with Spinal Care Canada Solutions. It delivers genuine decompression to the area of the spine that needs it, which may offer immediate relief too and may allow the body to flood the area with vital nutrients of which the area has typically been starved.

Many patients report that effects of Spinal Care Canada Solutions treatment begin almost immediately.

Some patients report pain relief after only a few sessions.

Spinal Care Canada Solutions enables many patients to return to work and return to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.

Benefits of Spinal Care Canada Solutions are as follows: •No surgery •No injections or needles •Procedure is non-invasive •There is no recovery period (like surgery) •Average treatment time is about four – six weeks with minimal follow-up Spinal Care Canada Solutions is quickly emerging as a preferred and efficient, cost-effective method for addressing pain.

Many people are suffering needlessly!

Spinal Care Canada wants those suffering from chronic neck and back pain to know there are treatment options at their clinics.

The Korean War’s lasting local legacy On July 27, 1953, 60 years ago, the cease-fire was signed to bring an end to the fighting in the Korean War. Remarkably, although the truce was signed six decades ago, the War technically is still ongoing as no peace treaty or formal end to the hostilities has yet taken place.

This is one of the many ironies of the Korean War, often also called the Korean Conflict. Korea is the Canada’s third bloodiest war.

Only the First World War and the Second World War had greater losses of Canadian lives. Yet, when many people think of the Korean War, they think of reruns of MASH or maybe some old Hollywood movies. Few remember the significant service, sacrifices and bravery of Canadian forces in that conflict. Some have consequently referred to Korea as The Forgotten War. The origins of the Korea conflict go back to the end of the Second World War. The peninsula had been occupied by the Japanese since 1910. In the aftermath of the Japanese surrender in 1945, a division line was drawn along the 38 Parallel between the Soviet armies to the north and the American forces to the south.

The intent was that the country would soon be unified. However, the North was only willing to consider unification with the South if there was a country-wide communist regime. When that failed to happen, the North Korea Army invaded the South on June 25, 1950.

The United Nations quickly condemned the invasion and demanded that the North Koreans withdraw back to the 38 Parallel. When this failed to happen, the U.N. authorized the creation of a special force made up of member nations to help repel the attacks.

Normally, the Soviet Union would have vetoed these moves, but it was boycotting the Security Council at the time because of diplomatic disputes over China.

Michael

DAWE In the summer of 1950, the Second Battalion was formed within the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (P.P.C.L.I.) as part of the Canadian Army Special Force (C.A.S.F).

This unit went into action as part of the 27 Commonwealth Brigade. Later, the 2 Battalion PPCLI was transferred to the 25 Canadian Infantry Brigade as part of the First Commonwealth Division.

Canadian units that saw action, other than the PPCLI, were the Royal 22 Regiment, Royal Canadian Regiment, Lord Strathcona Horse, Royal Canadian Artillery and Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, as well as the Royal Canadian Navy and RCAF. Canadians were central to a number of battles. One notable fight took place at Kapyong. Some have even referred to this as the ‘Battle of Vimy Ridge in Korea’.

The Canadian’s bravery and valour under extreme combat conditions won them the U.S. Presidential Unit Citation. Overall, more than 26,000 Canadians served in the Korean War and about 7,000 continued to serve after the truce was declared in July 1953.

In total, 516 lost their lives and 1,558 were wounded.

Three Central Albertans lost their lives in the War – James Calkins, Charles Alford and Virgil Girard. Another, Smiley Douglas, was seriously wounded during the Battle of Kapyong when he threw a detonating hand grenade in order to save the lives of a number of fellow soldiers. He was awarded the Military Medal for his bravery.

Despite these losses and acts of bravery, it was not

HOURS A DAY

until 1988 that a plaque was added to the Red Deer Cenotaph in honour of those who had served and died in Korea. Fortunately, the Korean War has been included on the interpre-

tive panels that were installed as part of the new Veterans Park surrounding the Cenotaph on Ross St. Thus, there is a reminder of Red Deer’s experiences in the Korean War.

Tour of Alberta coming to Red Deer this September This September, Red Deer will be a part of an event that is unlike any event Alberta has ever seen, officials say.

The inaugural Tour of Alberta marks Canada’s first major international professional cycling race, and the province’s first taste of the growing global sport of cycling.

“We are honoured to be a part of this inaugural event,” said Mayor Morris Flewwelling. “Never before has a peloton of bikes sped through our downtown.

The race and festival will be an opportunity to take in all our downtown has to offer.”

Red Deer will be a part of Stage two of the event on Sept. 5.

The cyclists will be starting in Devon and finishing in Red Deer. Riders will enter Red Deer on Hwy. 11 to 30 Ave., then turn south on 30th to Ross St. Heading west on Ross St. they will enter the downtown loop at the corner of Ross St. and 40th Ave.

Riders will complete the loop three times. Racers are often traveling upwards of 75km on the sprints or flats into the finish line.

The finish line will be in downtown Red Deer (50 St. between 47 & 48 Ave).

“NEVER BEFORE HAS A PELOTON OF BIKES SPED THROUGH OUR DOWNTOWN. THE RACE AND FESTIVAL WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IN ALL OUR DOWNTOWN HAS TO OFFER.” MORRIS FLEWWELLING “You can’t have a finish line without a party and Red Deer’s finish line festival will be an event you don’t want to miss,” said Liz Taylor, executive director, Red Deer Tourism. “It will be a great downtown party featuring food, culture, entertainment and fitness.”

The race will temporar-

ily close select roads in and around Red Deer’s downtown area.

A full list of road closures and maps can be found on the City’s web site.

The Tour of Alberta is scheduled for Sept. 3–8 throughout the province.

This world-class event is estimated to travel more than 800 km of urban and rural Alberta roads and will include more than 50 communities.

The event will feature more than 15 of the world’s top teams, including teams that competed in the Tour de France earlier this summer.

Volunteers are still needed to host this event.

Residents interested can register online at www.tourofalberta.ca and the Red Deer Volunteer Coordinator through Red Deer Tourism will contact you.

POLICE BRIEFS ARREST MADE AFTER WARRANT EXECUTED A Red Deer woman has been charged with drug offences after the RCMP conducted a search warrant at a residence in Innisfail.

On July 24 Innisfail RCMP members were granted a warrant to search a rural residence for the presence of narcotics. The residence was located north east of Innisfail. Members of the Innisfail RCMP Detachment with the assistance of Red Deer County Patrol, secured the area and completed the search. As a result, quantities of cocaine, marijuana and other controlled substances were seized.

A 23-year-old Red Deer woman was arrested at the scene. She was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking contrary to Section 5(2) of the Controlled Drug and Substances Act.

EQUIPMENT LOCATED Two men are facing multiple charges after they were stopped by RCMP near Penhold.

On July 23 at 6 a.m. members of the Innisfail RCMP Detachment were on routine patrol on Hwy. 42 approaching Hwy. 2, near Penhold. Two pick up trucks were spotted one of which was in the process of hooking up a flat bed trailer which contained a skid steer loader.

The RCMP member questioned the two individuals at the side of the road. The investigation revealed that both the trailer and skid steer had been recently stolen from a work site

near Bowden. Both men were arrested and searches of the vehicles revealed quantities of cash, narcotics, break in tools and additional stolen property.

Shawn Davis Olsen and Troy Curtis Sear, both of Red Deer were charged with multiple offences, including possession of property obtained by crime, and possession of cocaine.

WESTERNER DAYS CHECK STOP RESULTS Red Deer City RCMP Traffic Services Section conducted random check stops over the five-day period of Westerner Days.

The check stops resulted in nine charges of impaired operation of a motor vehicle, one charge of refusing to provide a breath sample and two charges of 72-hour suspensions and two warrants were executed.

Additionally, there were several violation tickets issued. Meanwhile, the Alberta Traffic Safety Plan has identified August as impaired driving month. Motorists can expect to see more check stops throughout the summer.

POLICE LOOK FOR TRUCKER RCMP continue to look for a tanker that reportedly spilled hydrocarbon liquid throughout Gasoline Alley.

On July 24th at 4 a.m., Blackfalds RCMP and the Red Deer County Fire Department responded to a reported fuel leak on multiple roadways on the west side of Gasoline Alley. The incident occurred between the hours of 2 and 4 a.m. A tanker truck with the undetermined

by Erin Fawcett hydrocarbon liquid was sitting on the access road on Gasoline Alley before moving and leaving a trail of the liquid. The tanker truck then left Gasoline Alley to an unknown location. There was no health risk to the public.

Red Deer County crews were on scene cleaning up the leak that trailed over roads in Gasoline Alley.

The RCMP and Alberta Environment are asking for the public’s assistance in locating the person or vehicle involved. The RCMP are encouraging the tanker driver or the tanker’s company to come forward and speak to investigators. The investigation is still ongoing.

If anyone has any information call the Blackfalds RCMP at 403-885-3300 or Environment Alberta at 1-800-2226514.

PEDESTRIAN DIES AFTER COLLISION A man has died as a result of being struck on the QE II Hwy. On July 24th at 4:30 a.m., the Ponoka RCMP received a complaint of a pedestrian dressed in black almost in the northbound driving lane on the QE II Hwy. several kilometres south of Ponoka. RCMP attended that location only to find a pickup truck parked on the shoulder of the road with hazard lights flashing. The driver of that vehicle informed police he had just struck a pedestrian who was walking in the driving lane of the highway.

The pedestrian was found deceased nearby on the shoulder of the road.

The identity of the pedestrian is being withheld pending notification of next

of kin. The pedestrian was a 37-year-old male.

HOME STRUCK BY LIGHTENING Two occupants of a Penhold home escaped injury after their home was struck by lightening last week.

On July 24 the Penhold

Fire Department was called out to a house on Mann Dr. for a report of a lightening strike. The house was struck between 9 and 10 a.m. causing damage to the roof and the electrical panel and system. There were no injuries. Firefighters checked the house with a thermal imag-

ing camera (which can detect hot spots behind walls). They also peeled back some of the shingles and checked the roof. The firefighters then put some plastic over the hole until a contractor could be called.

The damage is estimated at $5,000.

TRAVEL Classic Nashville: enjoy that singin’ town

By Kathy Carter Drok Maybe it’s because I am a musician, maybe it’s because I love to travel, maybe it’s because my husband went there to run in a marathon partnered with a children’s hospital, but whatever it is, Nashville captivates me like no place on earth ever has before: it started when we stepped off the plane and live music was playing.

No matter where you go, Nashville is an adventure.

While exploring en route to The BlueBird Café we ended up in a well-appointed neighbourhood that boasts the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Al Gore and Taylor Swift.

The architecture and estates are imposing and magnificent.

The BlueBird Café is a wellknown mecca for musicians. It is a dumpy little place where careers are launched and history made.

The night was sold-out but they made room for us Canadians. Onstage that night was Fred Eaglesmith and The Traveling Steam Show. There we were in the BlueBird in Nashville, awestruck, wedged around a cramped table, watching a band that included four Canadians.

There are live bands playing in every restaurant, bar and grill and room up and down the strip in Nashville. The music starts in the morning and goes all day into the night. Monday is like Friday and Wednesday afternoon is like Saturday night.

The bands have big pickle jars for tips and sell CDs, swag and anything to make a buck and keep dreams afloat. If you aren’t playing in these rooms you can busk. Buskers are everywhere and are eclectic.

One band had a bass guitar made from a washtub, twine and a broom handle while someone played the spoons, another a banjo, plus a guy playing acous-

tic guitar while keeping the beat with a kick pedal lashed to a suitcase. Speakers are everywhere so no matter where you are outside you can hear the music playing inside.

The level of talent is overwhelming.

In Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge where everyone from Willie and Waylon and Patsy Cline to our own Terri Clark have sang, we stumbled into the VIP Section and the booking agent let us stay there. In Robert’s Western World we watched a guy play lead guitar until my mouth hung open.

Then he sat down behind a pedal steel and played a lead on it, switching back and forth between the two instruments.

The female lead singer belted out classic country and the bass player slapped the upright like he was born doing it. The drummer has backed up Loretta Lynn for years.

We woke up in Nashville one morning to hear the sad news George Jones had died. That night we had tickets to the Grand Ole Opry.

What a show: everything from the classic country performers to the hottest newcomers, all there paying tribute to “The Possum.”

The night ended with a surprise appearance by Brad Paisley.

He performed a medley of Jones’ tunes plus a song he must have penned, interwoven with phrases from Jones songs. Jon Conlee and The GOO Band closed with a spellbinding version of Amazing Grace. If George hadn’t yet passed through the pearly gates, he certainly did that night.

The St. Jude Country Music Marathon and Half Marathon was amazing. We stayed on Music Row, an area that is home to hundreds of businesses all connected to the music industry.

I watched my husband run accompanied by all manner of spectacles - a guy running with a

guitar, another with an American flag, ‘Elvis’ running with an intact black pompadour in the pouring rain, troops of American soldiers in uniform and the kids, all the kids; little sick kids in wheelchairs, babies in strollers being pushed by parents, little spastic arms flapping as they rolled by.

The untold heart-tugging stories of why they all partake in this amazing event.

No visit to Nashville is complete without a trip to the Ryman Auditorium, the ‘Mother Church of Country Music.’ The Ryman was home of The Grand Old Opry from 1943 – 1974.

A treat for me was going into the recording booth at The Ry-

man Auditorium and recording two songs: one Patsy Cline cover for tradition’s sake and an original of my own Big Fat Tears.

I walked out with my own two CDs feeling gobsmacked! We heard the hot band Little Big Town play for their hometown crowd in The Ryman and they raised the roof.

The Country Music Hall of Fame is another must-do. You could go every day for weeks just to watch, listen and learn the history of country music and its players. The memorabilia, photos, early instruments, videos and collections of everything connected to the artists is magical.

But the reason why I fell head-

over-heels-crazy-in-love with Nashville can be summarized in this. We were leaving the strip the last night and half a block from our car I heard singing, harmonies and gospel music so sweet I stopped in my tracks.

There in an empty parking garage was a group of teens and adults singing their hearts out just because they could, soaking up the acoustics in that garage and sending those pure tones out into the night.

Not self-conscious, not crazy, not out of place at all, just Nashville, just the music, always the music.

The Jessica Stuart Few bring ‘indie/folk jazz’ to City Toronto band’s bold style continues to introduce tunes to a broader audience

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Toronto-based band The Jessica Stuart Few are heading west on a tour that includes a couple of local stints to promote their latest CD Two Sides to Every Story.

The band performs Aug. 9-10 at the One Eleven Grill.

The band also performs at the annual Jazz at the Lake Festival at Sylvan Lake on Aug. 18.

The live band leaves audiences mesmerized with their remarkable sound; folk, rock and jazz dressed to the nines with Stuart’s proficiency on the koto, a traditional Japanese floor harp, as well as the guitar.

Drummer Tony Nesbitt-Larking and double bassist Charles James bring an charisma, killer chops and threepart vocal harmonies to every performance.

After several tours promoting 2010’s Kid Dream, The Jessica Stuart Few have emerged as one of Toronto’s hottest bands on the indie-folk scene.

Two Sides to Every Story features their signature indie-folk/jazz style while tapping into a plethora of fresh sounds fueled by the irresistibly catchy Don’t Ya. There are lots of other gems including their wonderful take on Here Comes the Rain, the sparkling title track and the reflective, softer tones of Heart Map. It’s important for Stuart to retain that energetic ‘live’ feeling on a CD, so much of the project was recording ‘live off the floor’ as well.

Stuart was born into a musical family, so it was pretty much a given that it would be a huge part of her life. Both her parents have been and are very involved with the arts.

“My mother is a fantastic musician and ethno-musicologist, so I’ve been always exposed to a lot of music from classical, choral to musical theatre to west coast native music and Jewish music.

“She is also a magnificent musical theatre director. And she performs. So I definitely have had a lot of influence from my mother.”

Stuart also started violin lessons at age three, piano at age five and it wasn’t long before her vocal talents began to surface as well.

“My older sister and I would do song and dance routines from musicals in old folks homes from the time I was two or three years old,” she recalls. “And when family or friends would come over, there would always be some kind of performance with my mother on the piano, and my sister and I doing our little song, dance and harmonies from the time we were very, very young.

“We very much enjoyed it. And even in our spare time, my sister and I would make up songs and dances and little musicals with our friends and perform them.”

In her high school years in Vancouver, she also discovered a love for writing music. But in spite of such a musical upbringing, she opted to study linguistics at university.

SLEEK SOUNDS – The Jessica Stuart Few include Red Deer on a western Canadian tour to promote their latest disc, Two Sides To Every Story. The band performs at the One Eleven Grill on Aug. 9-10. The band also performs at the annual Jazz at the Lake photo submitted Festival at Sylvan Lake on Aug. 18.

Her parents, while of course supportive of her musical interests, had encouraged her to have a career to fall back on – just in case. But a growing love for rock music, combined with learning the guitar further cemented her passion for eventually getting into music on a full-time basis.

“It was at that point that I thought I’d really like to do music as a profession. Although I didn’t really know what that entailed.”

In 2007 she relocated to Toronto to delve into the city’s vibrant music scene.

She formed a band that same year with bassist Dan Fortin and the aforementioned Nesbitt-Larking. Their first CD, Kid Dream, The Jessica Stuart Few, was released in 2010.

Taking her music to a broader audience was a natural path to take.

Adding to the international, exotic sensibilities of her music is that she is also adept on the Koto.

“I’ve never had goals of fame and fortune, I’ve just wanted to support myself with music and I wanted to be

able to have a name for myself in the music world.”

Meanwhile, Stuart is enjoying every aspect of her career. Taking her music on the road raises that level of excitement to newer heights.

From seeing her musical expressions explode into vibrant works of colour during the recording process to connecting with audiences, she doesn’t have a single regret for choosing to follow her heart.

And the future is indeed bright. The band is heading to Japan this October for a tour, and Stuart is eyeing Europe and the U.S. as future performing possibilities for sure.

The next CD is almost fully written. But for now, Stuart is relishing life on the road and connecting with her fanbase. And reaching new listeners.

“Some songs are very different from show to show, and we really enjoy that,” she explains. “We like improvising.

We also always want to play our newest and our latest (material). That’s what we are most excited about.”

RDSO to feature famed tenor in gala Upcoming season, starting in October, is packed with musical gems Organizers behind the annual Red Deer Symphony Orchestra gala have decided to try something new.

Instead of the usual September date, the event has been moved to next spring.

International superstar Ben Heppner, one of the greatest heroic tenors to be seen and heard in generations, will be joining the RDSO for a special gala performance in the upcoming 2013-14 season.

Presented at the Red Deer College Arts Centre main stage on March 26, 2014 at 7:30 p.m., a variety

of repertoire will be offered.

Attendees will enjoy Heppner’s performance of favourites with a large orchestra for half of the concert. The other half will feature solo repertoire with Heppner and his pianist.

A pre-concert champagne reception and postconcert dessert reception will be provided by the Black Knight Inn’s renowned Chef.

“The decision to change the format of our annual gala was not an easy one,” states Melody McKnight,

executive director.

“Our patrons still enjoy the elegant gala evening that has been held at the Black Knight Inn for years, with the exceptional food and entertainment. However, attendance has been slowly declining, as has the silent and live auction revenue.”

While the RDSO expects to return to the dinner and auction format in future years, this change has provided a solution to several on-going challenges.

“This gala allows us to meet our patrons’ demands

for more performances in our season, with an internationally-acclaimed guest artist. It will also involve the entire orchestra in the gala for the first time. From a fundraising perspective, it’s also a more efficient use of our funds, with less demand on staff and volunteer time.”

Heppner is renowned worldwide for his portrayals in the tenor repertoire.

His career has taken him to stages and concert halls around the world. His performances on the opera stage, in concert with the world’s leading orchestras, in the most prestigious recital venues, and in recordings have set new standards in his repertoire.

Heppner’s repertoire includes the most challenging roles, from Wagner’s Tristan and Lohengrin to Verdi’s Otello and Berlioz’s Aeneas. Many of his greatest portrayals have been revealed in new productions

Alf

CRYDERMAN R.I.P.D. Universal Rating: PG 96 minutes While there is some imagination involved behind R.I.P.D. (for Rest in Peace Department), and occasional moments of enjoyment, the results on the screen leave little to be desired.

Ryan Reynolds plays a Boston policeman who is killed by his partner Kevin Bacon when he wants to

stop being a dirty cop. He goes to some office in the sky, where, because of his police experience, he is assigned to the R.I.P.D. to hunt down Deados (undead bad guys) responsible for all the bad things in the world. And that is just the beginning of the rather ludicrous plot about dead people returning to take over the universe.

Reynolds partners with a deceased western lawman played by Jeff Bridges, who seems to be channelling his Rooster Cogburn character from True Grit. They chase their prey in the real world, but to living people Reynolds appears as an older Chinese man and Bridges a sexy blonde, a cute piece of visual humour that quickly wears thin.

There is the usual over-

reliance on special effects (not to mention yet another 3D rip-off), some of which are not bad. Several reviewers negatively compare it to the Men in Black series, however, it is more like a bad steal. It is sad to see A-list stars like Bridges, Reynolds and Mary Louise Parker in such a badly executed and preposterous film, even if it started with an original idea. This is a movie that should rest in peace and be seldom seen.

Rating: one deer out of five

BATTLE – U-16 Renegade player Jeremiah Ho defends against a Grande Prairie player during the Red Deer City Soccer Association tournament over the weekend, in which the game was called Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express due to thunder and lightning.

Local fastball player headed to World Masters

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Trudy Haraldson is excited about extending her fastball season and she gets to do just that by playing those extra innings over in Turin, Italy this August.

The catcher, second baseman and outfielder is a member of the N. Jensen Bandits who play in the Red Deer Ladies Fastball Association but next month she is a member of the Alberta Wild, competing in the World Masters Games over 35 division.

“Two members of my team played in the games when they were hosted in Edmonton and I went and watched a few of the games and I said when I turn 35

that was going to be one of my goals,” she said.

The team headed overseas was formed last year by Haraldson and TNT Athletics player Thea Mawby.

“We played in the provincials last year and won silver,” said Haraldson.

Some of the girls however can’t afford the cost of the trip to Italy so four players from B.C., three from Edmonton and a player from Calgary were added, along with former Red Deerians Lisa Loitz, who lives in Leduc and Michelle Wiggins who calls Calgary home.

The team will be coached by Darian Popadynec of Red Deer and an umpire is also required to

be a part of the entourage with Malcom Murray being the man behind the mask.

He won’t umpire any of the Wild’s games, she said.

“We have quite the team and team personnel going with us.”

The Wild will be in the same division as a pair of teams from Australia, one from Italy and a second Canadian squad.

“I’m expecting that some of these teams might have Olympians on their team so I’m expecting a very high level of competiveness,” she said.

The schedule has the Wild playing eight games with the first pitch being tossed on Aug. 2nd, opening ceremonies the following day and then back to action

on Aug. 4th with playoffs coming Aug. 10-11.

Aside from the ball being played Haraldson says she’s looking forward to the pomp and ceremony surrounding the World Games.

“It’s just like the Olympics.

There are four hours where we march into the Olympic Stadium where the Winter Olympics were held in Torino,” she explained.

She likes the team’s chances of bringing home a medal and points to their pitching as a strength, which includes the former Red Deerians Wiggins and Loitz.

“I think we are going to be a good hitting team, “ she added.

The ladies fastball league is

done for the year and Haraldson is relishing the chance to keep playing.

“I don’t want my season to end so the girls on my own team are all jealous that I get to still go play ball in August over there,” she said.

There is some vacation time planned for after the games and Haraldson said she’s really looking forward to playing against all those international teams, meeting new people from around the world and seeing the sights.

But of course there is one goal in mind at the end of this rainbow.

“I want to bring home a gold medal,” she said.

Rodeo champion explores world of golf

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Where do former rodeo champions go when they ride off into the sunset after calling it a career?

Well it seems there are quite a few who have turned in their ropes, jeans and saddles for a bag full of golf clubs.

Joe Butterfield, who calls Ponoka home, was a Canadian calf roping champion

in 1990 and then two years later he was the top steer wrestler at the Calgary Stampede.

He stopped traveling the rodeo circuit about six years ago and last summer decided he would try his hand at golf.

“A good friend of mine, Cliff Williamson (tie down roper) does it and Cliff was a rodeo hero and I could see the enjoyment he got out of it and I used to do it,

just enough to know that I couldn’t do it,” he said.

He is addicted to the Golf Channel, on the Internet YouTubing golf and enjoys the feeling you get when you hit one clean down the middle.

It is no surprise Butterfield wants to get better at golf because he was a tough competitor during his rodeo days .

He is taking the same approach to golf as he did to

“I’M WATCHING EVERYBODY’S SWINGS AND IT SEEMS TO HIT A NICE GOLF BALL, I HAVE TO DO THE SAME THINGS THE PROS DO IN ORDER TO GET IT DOWN THE MIDDLE.” JOE BUTTERFIELD roping calves by spending plenty of time practicing .

“I knew I wasn’t very strong with my rope so I spent hours and hours roping a bale to get good with that tool and I see that parallel with the golf club.”

Butterfield also learned how to wrestle steers by watching his family members do it before he was big enough to wrestle his own and following the same path for golf.

“I’m watching everybody’s swings and in order for me, it seems to hit a nice golf ball I have to do the same things the pros do in order to get it down the middle,” he said.

“If I do it wrong it doesn’t go anywhere where I can play it.”

He said the best cowboy golfer he knows is the aforementioned Williamson so the next question is when are you going to be good enough to beat him?

“He said I’d be a pain in the arse in another couple of years and that was a year ago,” he said. “He told me it would be four years before I even figured it out.”

In the meantime, back to watching the pros, taking lessons and absorbing all things golf. sports@reddeerexpress.com

List for drug use long and varied All Ryan Braun needs is a black hat and maybe a picture of him kicking a puppy.

JIM

CLAGGETT Then the Milwaukee Brews outfield will be the perfect poster child for professional athlete cheaters.

Of course he might have to share the space with Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds but Ryan is certainly worthy of the criticism but he is most certainly not alone.

Anyone who watches sports knows the guest list for performance enhancing drug use is long and varied, especially if you were a client of the PED dispenser known as the Biogenesis Clinic in Florida.

A disgruntled former employee blew the whistle on the scientists down there, showing the world major league baseball is not the only one with a problem.

Not that we needed any confirmation but he delivered the indictment of more than a dozen athletes from a cross section of sports who were and maybe some still are, clients of Biogenesis.

He was quick to point out the situation down in Florida wasn’t something which is in its infancy. Nope, these

folks have been on the company books since 2009.

Those athletes include baseball players, NBA players, NCAA players, professional boxers, tennis players and MMA fighters.

What was somewhat surprising was the fact this man claimed there weren’t any NFL or NHL players listed as clients of the company.

I can’t speak for either league but I don’t think it would be a big stretch to think there are some players in both those leagues who are on the PED trailthey just haven’t been caught yet.

I read an article the other day which stated something along the lines of professional sports being such a big dollar business venture you have to cheat in order to keep up.

This snippet of 21st century logic was from a former pro-sport athlete who competed at a high level (no pun intended) and said it was the norm and not the exception.

We know drug testing has grown by leaps and bounds from a simple “Are you taking anything?” to lab testing which is very thorough. We know they’re out there.

So I guess the point here to be made is if you’re going to burn Ryan Braun at the stake you best bring plenty of firewood and maybe have the fire department on standby because it’s going to be quite the blaze. sports@reddeerexpress.com

What is the best way to burn fat?

Hide a pound of butter in the garage -- okay, that’s probably not helpful.

Seriously though as I have said before it can be a complex answer, but there are things we can do when designing your program that can set you up for maximum success.

Let’s start with the most common myth --that lowintensity exercise is best for burning fat (usually cardio). Yes, it is true that during exercise at a very low intensity studies have shown that most of the energy expenditure comes from fat (as a percentage), and while at a moderate intensity, fat accounts for only about 50% of the energy used. True, but here is the thing, since the number of calories burned per minute is much greater at a moderate to high intensity

Scott

McDERMOTT than at a low intensity, the total number of calories expended is greater than it is during a low- intensity workout of the same duration.

That all means the total number of fat calories burned is also greater during the higher-intensity workout.

So to burn more fat you need to burn more calories.

What is better is an hour walking (a 160lb person will burn 202 calories walking for an hour), or 30 minutes running or

cycling moderately hard (288 calories burned)?

The higher intensity by far as it not only burns more calories and therefore more fat, it causes you to get more fit, where walking may not.

That said if you are just starting out and have a ways to go - in which case walking is in fact, perfect for beginners.

High endurance-trained individuals rely on carbohydrates and fat as a fuel source during sub-maximal exercise and for you, the more aerobically trained you become the more fat you will burn in your exercise sessions.

The bottom line is that cardio is good and moderate to high intensity when you are fit enough to handle that safely.

There is another way to

decrease body fat percentage that does not necessarily mean you have to use fat as a fuel during exercise, you can actually burn fat while you are not exercising.

You see, much of the fat from adipose tissue (the kind under your skin, as opposed to intramuscular fat, which is primarily used during exercise) is lost in the hours following exercise when muscle uses it as a fuel source.

Further, the amount of fat lost after a workout depends partly on the exercise intensity during the workout.

If you workout with high-intensity, the rate of fat burning is higher than it is following low-intensity exercise and there are studies to prove it.

Using High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) the

workout is broken up with periods of rest, and not only is it fun, but the body is challenged to adapt and grow stronger.

It is a great way to decrease body fat percentage the quickest.

Both strength training and endurance exercise have been shown to decrease body fat percentage but according to three different studies, aerobic exercise appears to have a greater impact on fat loss than does strength training.

My experience and another study show that a combination of endurance and strength training results in more fat loss than just cardio or just strength training alone. As well, activities that incorporate many muscle groups and are weight bearing use more calories per minute and are

therefore better suited for fat loss than non-weightbearing activities that do not use many muscles.

We do also know that strength training makes muscles denser and active, which has muscles burn fat while you sleep when they repair and grow, which is awesome! Plus, you become stronger and more functional, so you can handle more intensity in your cardio training, which burns more fat and the cycle constantly improves upon itself.

So apart from hiding butter in the garage, a balance of cardio and strength training at moderate to high intensity is clearly the best way to burn fat and get lean (assuming that you are eating well).

Pros and cons of keyhole surgery What’s the most advanced surgery of recent years?

I believe most surgeons would respond, “laparoscopic surgery�, often referred to as keyhole surgery. But never let the word ‘keyhole’ lead you astray.

In 1991 Dr. Joacques Perissat at the University of Bordeau, in France, announced at the World Congress of Surgeons that he had removed a gallbladder

Laparoscopic surgery has been a great boon for patients. Without a large incision there’s less pain, speedier healing and shorter hospital stay. But as in any type of surgery there are unexpected pitfalls.

One problem is the term ‘keyhole surgery’ leaves the impression that tiny incisions mean an uncomplicated way to perform operations. This is not always the case and a small

JONES using optical instruments through incisions. Now, a number of more complicated operations are performed by this method.

incision can cause complications. There’s a huge difference between opening the abdomen to have a direct look at a diseased organ and performing laparoscopy. Rather than hold a scalpel, surgeons watch a video camera while manipulating a variety of grasping, cutting and suturing devices. It’s a different ball game with a steep learning curve. It’s wise to remember the old saying that ‘practice makes perfect’ whether dealing with a plumber or surgeon.  To perform laparoscopy the abdomen is ďŹ rst ďŹ lled with gas to lift the abdominal muscles away from underlying organs and blood vessels. Then, hollow tubes are inserted to act as portals for the laparoscopic instruments which act much like the periscope on a submarine. This is when underlying bowel or arteries can be injured, luckily a rare occurrence.

Most complications occur during removal of an organ such as the gallbladder. For instance, the common bile duct that carries bile from the liver to the bowel can be inadvertently

injured. It’s a complication and if not repaired can result in jaundice and death.

Laparoscopy has many beneďŹ ts.

But wise generals know when to retreat and so do experienced surgeons. It may become apparent in the OR that previous operations have caused extensive adhesions, obscuring vision, and it is more prudent to end the laparoscopy and use an abdominal incision.

The same reasoning applies if there’s a complication such as excessive bleeding. Like any procedure, laparoscopy can be overused. Since 1989, when doctors ďŹ rst used this procedure the number of cholecystectomies has risen 20 to 40%.

Studies show about 10% of North Americans have gallstones, often discovered during tests to diagnose other conditions. In general, gallstones not causing trouble are best left to the crematorium. Or as one of my professors once told me, “Remember, it’s impossible to make a patient feel any better who doesn’t have any symptoms.� Looking at the total pic-

ture, laparoscopic procedures beat the old abdominal incisions by a mile.

For instance, many women with benign ďŹ broid growths can now circumvent abdominal hysterectomy by having ďŹ broids removed by laparoscopy. Others plagued by excessive bleeding are able to have the lining of the uterus reduced by this technique. Still others, suffering from Crohn’s Disease or diverticulitis, can be treated by laparoscopy.

Even patients with large bowel malignancies can be treated this way.

It’s always prudent to go to surgery on a ďŹ rst class ticket. If you are lucky to know someone who works in the OR or who has performed many of these procedures, listen to their advice. If that surgeon is 100 miles away that’s where you should go. I’ve heard patients say, “But I’d rather go to this hospital because family and friends can visit me.â€? That’s a big error.

The skill of the surgeon is the more important consideration. For comments, email info@ docgiff.com.

Design can be about well-being and functionality When you are stressed the first thing to go is your creativity, stress and fatigue sap our creative urges and discourage us from making our lives more beautiful and lovely.

For example, I’m writing on a late Friday afternoon devoid of most of my usual vim and design vigor when my husband texts and asks if he can take me out tonight. Sure, except that I’m beat and bone tired and want to veg in front of the TV with some chips and a movie. Then my daughter tells me she’s attending Shakespeare in the Park tonight and suddenly it’s is if

Kim

MECKLER a spark is lit – what a wonderful idea!

I can sit at Bower Ponds as easily as I can sit on my couch.

Sometimes all it takes is one element to light a creative fire. You can evoke a memory or pleasant experience with just one whiff

of scent or strain of a song.

Usually these inspirations just happen to us and sometimes we need to go looking for them. Our home can house those spaces and experiences that our soul needs to rejuvenate.

If you come home from your day tired and emotionally drained, you might need to gather yourself in a familiar pair of jammies or an old blanket that you have had since childhood.

The smell of cookies baking or popcorn popping may be the stimulus you require to gather yourself in comfort. These kinds of sensory triggers can boost

your feelings of well-being and ‘home’ immediately.

The truth is, we all have memory triggers of either sight or smell or sound that we could use if we need a lift. Maybe you need to recreate some of the good memories in your own home. For me it is as easy as ordering the same Avon bubble bath that my mom ordered for years, the scent lingers long after the bath is over and it takes me back to sitting with my mom in her room after she had soaked in those fragrant bubbles.

There is something about that memory that is very calming and has a way of

refreshing my soul.

Some people use the potency of essential oils which is booming trend, employing the power of Lime, Myrrh and Juniper.

There are oils for almost any emotional need and it is a good practice to experiment with different scents in a relaxed setting in your home as you find the combination that works well for you. Maybe you will find the soothing aroma of Balsam Fir carries you away to camping trips or Christmases as a child when the world was carefree and fun.

You might inhale the scent of Lavendar and remem-

ber a favorite aunt and the wonderful hugs she used to give.

Your home should have at least one place where you can completely unwind, some place besides in front of the TV! Even if it is a favourite chair, a mat to stretch out on or a tub to soak your cares away try to scratch out a few short moments for yourself in the midst of very hectic days.

Design can be about colour and things but it is also about well-being and functionality in day-to-day life.

It’s becoming increasingly apparent in society today that a greater number of women are now taking the reigns when it comes to home purchases.

There’s a growing trend among single women – and, more precisely, professional single women – who are becoming independent homeowners.

While many of them may be putting off marriage, they’re not waiting around for Mr. Right before taking the plunge into homeownership.

It’s believed that around 20% of homebuyers in North America are single women based on a 2011 report released by the U.S. National Association of Realtors.

Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies also released a report that said single women are buying in record numbers.

There’s no equivalent data for Canada, but an abundance of anecdotal information has led to the creation of shows like HGTV’s Buy Herself, which follows single women who are making their first real

RENOVATING?

TURCOTTE estate purchases.

Women are looking for ways to become financially independent, and investing in real estate and building equity for themselves are ways to invest in their future – building financial security.

Women are taking advantage of historically low-interest rates and recognizing homeownership is often more affordable than renting.

One of the amazing things about women looking to invest in real estate is that they’re getting more advice before they make the decision to enter the market.

They’re seeking out mortgage experts and real estate agents, and building a plan for the perfect entry into the market.

They’re making lists

“WOMEN ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HISTORICALLY LOW-INTEREST RATES AND RECOGNIZING HOMEOWNERSHIP IS OFTEN MORE AFFORDABLE THAN RENTING.”

ing a mortgage.

Buying a home is likely one of the largest purchases you’ll ever make in your lifetime, and can feel overwhelming.

That’s why working with a professional mortgage agent, real estate agent, home inspector and so on is essential.

You’ll be working with these professionals close-

ly – possibly for months – so interactions should feel comfortable and they should be knowledgeable and responsive even to the smallest question.

The more prepared you are, the smoother the experience will inevitably be.

So do a little research on your own over the Internet to get a good, solid idea of what types of properties and areas are of interest to you.

Make a list of questions to ask your mortgage agent or realtor – and keep it on hand so you can add to it as more questions arise.

Interest rates are the lowest they’ve been in history and they have nowhere to go but up.

Industry professionals believe that as rates begin to rise, they’ll continue to rise for some time.

There has never been a better time for women to make the decision to get into the real estate market to find the perfect place to call home.

DON’T DRINK & DRIVE Recycle Your Old Vehicle and Help MADD Canada Do you have a vehicle model year 2003 or older that you want to get rid of? Car Heaven is the answer for you!

This national environmental program helps Canadians get their older, polluting vehicles off the road. All participants receive a charitable tax receipt for their donated vehicle. As an added bonus, proceeds from the sale of the scrap materials is donated to affiliated charities, including MADD Canada. You can get rid of your old vehicle, help the environment and contribute to the effort to stop impaired driving all at the same time. The vehicle is towed for free (value-$200) and responsibly recycled; all the hazardous components are removed and diverted from landfill, parts that can be reused are salvaged and the steel and other metals are recycled. Since its launch in 2000, Car Heaven and its program partners have retired more than

Have a safe and happy holiday.

123,500 older vehicles, resulting in a reduction of almost 5,000 tonnes of smog-forming emissions and generating more than $3,600,000 for its affiliated charities.

Recycle your older, polluting vehicle today. Visit the Car Heaven website at www.carheaven.ca. Please identify MADD Canada as your charity of choice when completing the donor form.

Car Heaven is a Summerhill Impact program, executed with the support of the Automotive Recyclers Association of Canada, the Ontario Automotive Recyclers Association, Drive Clean, as well as a variety of product and service providers in the area of alternative forms of transportation.

Brent Neville

Tyson Vanderzwaag

Oct. 5, 1984 – Mar. 17, 2006

April 3, 1994 – April 6, 2012

The families of Brent, age 21, Tyson, age 18 and Colton, age 19 all from Red Deer and so many others know all too well the pain, the despair, loneliness and frustration that is ‘life changing’ and ‘life altering’ with the loss of a child. The residual damage is ongoing for life. The whole dynamics of the family is forever changed. Brent, Tyson and Colton were great kids with bright futures. They should have had a future. These tragedies are 100% preventable.
