Family excited for involvement with A Better World The Darnells are set to embark on a 16-week mission trip to Kenya

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express

M

issionary work overseas can be an incredible experience. Even more so when you are able to share that experience with your family.

Thus, it stands to reason that experience would be all the more meaningful when you are able to have it as a child.

That was the idea Chris and Michele Darnell had when they decided to take their three children, Hope, Matt and Hannah, on a missions trip to Kenya through A Better World.

Once the children heard about the trip, it was clear they were very much looking forward to it.

“I was so excited,” said 15-yearold Hannah. “I almost couldn’t believe it. I was just so excited.”

Hannah’s siblings agreed, with Matt, 13, saying he wasn’t at all worried about the trip and Hope, 10, saying her biggest concern would be the medical shots she needed to get before leaving for Africa.

Matt perhaps has the biggest personal sacrifice to make among his family members by going on the trip.

A starting player for the Lacombe Raiders, Matt will be missing playoffs to go to Kenya.

Chris said that he and his family have supported several missions trips, through ABW and other organizations. However, the family had never been on one themselves.

As such, it took little convincing to get the Darnells involved in this trip once they had heard about it from another ABW volunteer, Michael Gouchie.

“We always loved supporting the kids going on trips,” said Chris, referring to the high school students who have approached them for support in the past. “I think we always had in the back of our minds to bring our kids on something like this.”

Michele agreed and said that getting the family involved while her children were still young was important to her.

“I think things make a bigger impact when it happens to you as

Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express

a kid,” said Michele. “So I’m hoping that it will make a big impact on them.”

Gouchie himself has been involved with A Better World for the last seven or eight years, he said.

Together with his wife, Gouchie has taken several trips to work with ABW projects and all four of his daughters have lived in Kenya while working with school and orphanage projects through A Better World.

Also a member of the Lacombe Rotary Club, Gouchie is taking part in this trip for the opening of a new school in Lodwar, Kenya built through A Better World and funded in part by the Lacombe Rotary Club.

Gouchie said he enjoys making trips to project locations with ABW as it clearly demonstrates

NOW

the difference the group and its volunteers are making in the lives of others.

He added that something as simple as the gift of clean drinking water has such tremendous implications in developing nations that it is impossible for them to fully appreciated here in Canada.

Last month, terrorists targeted a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya in an attack that lasted four days and left 72 people dead.

Despite these recent attacks, neither Gouchie nor the Darnells have been deterred from visiting Kenya and working with A Better World.

Gouchie said that, while he was somewhat apprehensive about going to Kenya after he heard news of the attacks, he values the expertise and experience of Eric

Rajah, A Better World’s founder and his organization greatly and added that A Better World has made it part of its job to enter areas when there is political unrest.

Chris agreed, both with Gouchie’s apprehensions and his trust in Rajah’s ability. He said that, as a father bringing his wife and children to Kenya, the news of the attacks in Nairobi did frighten him.

“That was a scare,” said Chris.

“For me it was.”

Gouchie agreed.

“I was a little nervous and I still am a little nervous,” said Gouchie. “There is risk, but I think it’s minimal. I’m a little bit worried, but it’s such a valuable program that you don’t want to miss out on that opportunity.

There is trouble everywhere for real, you have to be careful wher-

ever you are.”

The Darnells will visit several A Better World projects around Kenya during their 16-week trip. Stops include orphanages, schools and even a visit to an Islamic community on the island of Lamu off the coast of Kenya.

Michele said the family isn’t sure yet what exactly they will be doing when they visit each location, but will probably be pitching in various ways once they arrive.

Each of the children have also been collecting gifts to share with the children they meet at each of the projects.

Hope and Hannah have been collecting stuffed animals from school and Matt, an avid sports fan and football player, has been collecting footballs and other sporting equipment. news@lacombeexpress.com

Lacombe City council ends debate on garbage

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express The decision has been made.

At its regular meeting on Tuesday, Lacombe City council passed several resolutions relating to the Solid Waste Roadmap, ending the debate on which recommendations from the original and revised plans would be adopted and how.

Recycling was the ďŹ rst Solid Waste Roadmap item up for discussion. In the original Solid Waste Roadmap plan, the recommendation was to implement a curbside recycling program and close down the Wolf Creek Recycling Depot, which has been prone to abuse. After the summer-long awareness campaign where the City sought feedback from the community, the recommendation changed to keep the depot open and implement a single-stream recycling system where users would not have to separate their recycling, but have it gated and only open during the day while still implement-

ing a curbside recycling program.

Prior to council’s deliberations, Louise Pickett, the woman who spearheaded much of the public’s engagement surrounding the garbage issue, spoke to council. She expressed her desire to have the recycling program pickup be in the alley lanes just as garbage is.

Pickett also told council there was a need to have Wolf Creek Recycling depot remain open in the evenings and weekends, stating that there would only be more abuse if people could only access it during weekday hours.

Councillor Reuben Konnik said that he shared Pickett’s concerns about having a curbside recycling program. “I’ve said this from day one,� said Konnik. “I’m all in favour of a recycling program provided they stay in the back alleys.�

Konnik also agreed with Pickett that the Wolf Creek Recycling Depot must have evening hours, and suggested having it open from

8 a.m. – 8 p.m. rather than the proposed 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Councillor Wayne Rempel agreed. He took his recommendation a step further, saying that citizens he had spoken to expressed a desire for the Wolf Creek site hours to remain as is, open 24/7. “If we want to encourage recycling, I think we need to make it easy for people to do,� said Rempel.

As such a motion was passed to implement a blue bin recycling program with pickup to be in the in back alleys where available and to keep the Wolf Creek Recycle Depot open with its existing hours. The system to be reviewed after one year.

Composting was the next issue needing resolution.

Originally, the City had recommended the purchase of a ‘Hot Rot’ system to deal with grass clippings and the other compostable materials accepted by the City as its current method, static piling, was not producing useable compost.

After the summer, City

changed the recommendation to begin an Request for Proposal (RFP) process to obtain a contract with a third party who could re-use or process material collected from green bins.

Also, the recommendation was made for the City to purchase more bins to collect compostable waste and distribute them throughout Lacombe.

Motions were passed following the recommendations made dealing with compost.

First that the City purchase 50 additional green bins for collecting compostable materials and then review the requirements for the number of bins annually afterwards. Secondly, a motion was passed to begin an RFP process to obtain a contract with a third party who could re-use or process the compost until a better alternative can be found.

The third issue facing council regarding the Solid Waste Roadmap was the one that was received the most attention in all discussions leading up to the meeting earlier this week.

That issue was what to do about Lacombe’s dump-

ster-style garbage bins and whether to change them to smaller roll-out bins as per the original Solid Waste Roadmap recommendation that was reversed after the

summer. This time, the issue attracted little discussion. Council voted unanimously to leave the current garbage receptacles as is. news@lacombeexpress.com

Blackfalds RCMP Auxiliaries provide many benefits

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express With 2013 marking the golden anniversary of the RCMP’s Auxiliary Constable Program, Blackfalds detachment is happy to be a part of it.

RCMP Const. Adrian Dean, coordinator for the Blackfalds auxiliary program, said there are many advantages to an auxiliary program. The most obvious of which is having another body, an extra set of hands and an extra set of eyes in the car with regular officers.

“It’s nice to have somebody riding around with you,” said Dean.

In addition to their use-

fulness in the field, auxiliary RCMP officers also provide police representation at formal events like Remembrance Day services and other community events, said Dean.

He added that having people in the community actively involved in policing also strengthens the relationship between the community and the detachment.

The Blackfalds RCMP Auxiliary Program has been around just as long as the Blackfalds RCMP detachment itself, said Dean.

When the Red Deer Rural RCMP detachment was moved to Blackfalds and became Blackfalds RCMP in 2011, the detachment

brought its auxiliary program along with it.

There is no cost to volunteers to join the auxiliary program.

Any cost for the uniforms, equipment and training supplied to volunteers is covered by the RCMP. However, because of the time, effort and expense to the RCMP in preparing volunteers for the program, there are certain expectations of those members.

Most detachments look for a minimum two-year commitment from auxiliaries and they are expected to volunteer at least 160 hours per year.

The application process for auxiliary members is

quite extensive and very similar to the process used to hire regular RCMP members. Dean said that there are only a few differences in that some steps required to hire full officers, like a polygraph test, are not required of auxiliary members.

Once that process is complete, auxiliaries are all set to work with the regular RCMP members. They then

contact the detachment to let them know when they are available to volunteer for the department.

Blackfalds currently has two auxiliary members in its program, said Dean. He added that they will typically inform him by phone or email when they are interested in volunteering a few days in advance and Dean will then let them

know which units will have space for them to join.

“Everyone knows these guys so they can just drop in any time and come out,” said Dean. He added that, on occasion, the Blackfalds detachment has contacted auxiliaries directly to request assistance in certain operations, like ceremonies or check stops. news@lacombeexpress.com

Lacombe and Blackfalds have a problem.

Actually it’s a problem that they have in common with most of Canada. That problem is voter apathy. In the last municipal election, 2,932 of Lacombe’s 8,945 eligible voters went to the polls to cast their ballots, that’s just under 33%. Blackfalds had even poorer luck at the polls, with only 713 of 3,000 eligible voters, just under 24% turning out at the polls.

That means, in both Lacombe and Blackfalds, the decision of who should represent the people of the community and make decisions on what will happen in the community was made by a minority. That sounds bad, but it sounds even worse when you think about how the entire political system works on majorities. In order to be elected as mayor or councillor, a candidate must receive the majority of the votes.

Once elected, those who form the council then vote to make decisions that affect the entire community. Again, the decision that is made is the one that gets the majority of the council members’ votes.

If it’s a minority of eligible citizens who are electing these governments, that means there is likely a majority of eligible citizens whose interests aren’t being represented in Council Chambers. That in turn means that there is a good chance that some of the decisions made in Council Chambers won’t be very agreeable to a lot of people. Why then, do we have such a staggering majority of eligible voters not exercising their right to vote?

People can’t think that the municipal election isn’t important enough for them to take part.

Elections are how leaders are chosen. After being chosen, these leaders are then charged with representing the community.

That’s what an election is, choosing someone to represent your best interests. If you don’t go out and vote, how are your best interests being represented? It is understandable that a lot of people work or have other commitments that they can’t afford to neglect even for the few short minutes needed to cast a ballot, but surely we can do better than 33 and 24%.

Election day is Oct. 21. Both Lacombe and Blackfalds have polling stations open all day for your convenience. Advanced polls are also being

held in both municipalities to accommodate those who are not able to vote on Oct. 21. For exact dates, times and locations of both the advance and election day polls, see www.lacombe.ca or www.blackfalds.com.

Also available on these web sites are the new identification requirements for voters this election. All eligible voters should make themselves aware of these requirements before heading out to cast their ballots.

No level of government decisions impact people greater than those made municipally. This is our greatest opportunity to make our voices heard and use influence in the political process.

Police officers deserve fair judgment, too

In the last two weeks, inquests into the deaths of several individuals at the hands of police officers have begun and once again the opportunity for me to write about the stigmas police officers are constantly faced with has arisen.

On Oct. 7, an inquest began into the death of Greg Matters who was killed in September 2012 after a lengthy confrontation with police outside his Prince George home.

On Tuesday of this week, an inquest also began into the deaths of Michael Eligon, Sylvia Kibingaitis and Reyal Jardine-Douglas.

The inquests come at a time where police all over the country are already under high scrutiny from the public. Since the death of Sammy Yatim, who was shot by police eight times, in July of this year people are even quicker than usual to criticize police.

As I already mentioned, this column is one I have debated writing several times. Until now, each time such a controversy involving police

BRIAN

VOSSEN has arisen, I have declined to voice my opinions on the matter.

There is a reason I have been reluctant to write this column before.

Police shootings, any controversy regarding police actually, hit rather close to home for me.

For 27 years, my dad strapped on a vest, carried a gun and wore a badge as a police officer with the Saskatoon City Police Service.

Dad, now retired, isn’t the only family member who has done so either. A little over a year ago, he pinned a badge onto the chest of my younger brother who is now following in Dad’s footsteps.

Fortunately, my brother has never had to fire his sidearm. However, I know that if he did, he would

never do so lightly.

Of course, I know that not everyone who wears a police officer’s uniform has the same sober judgment as my brother. There are bad cops the same as there are bad teachers, bad reporters, bad politicians and bad everything else in the world. But, I can say with some certainty that the same attitude goes for the majority of police officers.

As such, I get annoyed at the comments I read online and hear in the news and elsewhere whenever a controversy involving police officers springs up. It seems that whenever such a case arises, people are all too eager to pin the blame on the officers and then complain loudly that the police are never adequately punished.

By no means am I saying officers involved are innocent. If it were as cut-and-dried as that, there would be no need for an inquest. The sad reality is, people are dead after interactions with police and I think

that is evidence enough that, at the very least, something went wrong.

Nor am I saying these officers are guilty and examples of the ‘bad cops’ that make a bad name for people like my dad and brother and are constant sources of frustration for me. Just because something went wrong doesn’t mean it was the fault of the officers.

What I’m saying is, and I can’t stress this enough, is that I don’t know. And neither do you.

No one save the parties involved know what exactly happened in any of the incidents where individuals were killed by police. These are the people who will be called during the inquests and it will be the inquests that determine whether these officers are guilty or not.

As I do not have adequate information to pass judgment on any of these officers I intend to wait and see what the inquest uncovers.

I would suggest that the general public do the same. news@lacombeexpress.com

City of Lacombe marks Hwy. 2A upgrade Last Friday, members of the municipal and provincial governments met to celebrate an achievement nearly a year in the making.

On Oct. 11, Cal Dallas, MLA for Red Deer-South and minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations, on behalf of Alberta Transportation Minister Ric McIver, joined Mayor of Lacombe Steve Christie, special guests, and members of the public at a special ceremony to celebrate the completion of the $19.3 million Hwy. 2A upgrade and expansion project.

“The Government of Alberta is pleased to have contributed $16 million toward this project, which transformed a rural twolane road into a safe urban highway,” added McIver.

“This is about building Alberta – working together to improve our core infrastructure to help expand market access for the province and enhance safety for

all motorists.”

Christie agreed.

“This is a vital project for Lacombe, and is a wonderful example of how the province, the city and private industry – C.P. Rail, can work together to execute a project of this magnitude.

“This project has resulted in increased safety for all roadway users, and will serve the City and entire region for many years to come.”

The 4 km expansion and upgrade involved transforming the highway from a rural cross-section – with open ditches and paved shoulders – to an urban cross-section with added traffic lanes, underground storm sewers, concrete sidewalks, curbs and gutters.

The creation of dedicated traffic lanes as part of the expansion now allows for easier access on and off Hwy. 2A, as well as smoother traffic flow within the City.

The addition of a service road, as well as new parking stalls will increase access to the businesses along the highway.

As well, the construction of a 3m-wide multi-use trail paralleling the highway allows for better connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians.

The bulk of the project was completed in October of last year, with the final construction wrapped up around the two railway intersections in August of this year.

The City of Lacombe was responsible for management of the construction project, as well as any future maintenance of the highway.

This project is one of many objectives to strengthen transportation infrastructure within the province.

This year the government will invest $1.4 billion in Alberta’s transportation network.

Holiday Home located at 3 Veronica Close in Red Deer.

Proceeds from the sale of the home, which was built

by Avalon Central Alberta, will go towards the Festival of Trees.

The Festival of Trees will take place Nov. 20-14 at Westerner Park.

Kicking off the event will be the Festival Lights the Night and Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 16 from 4 – 6:30 p.m. in downtown Red Deer.

The Preview Dinner and Auction will take place Nov. 20 with the Seniors Appreciation and the Volunteer Sneak-a-Peak happening on Nov. 21.

The Festival Business Luncheon, Taste of Red Deer and Festival of Wines is set for Nov. 22 and the Tis’ the Season Fashion Luncheon and Mistletoe Magic will take place Nov. 23.

The Festival events will wrap up with Breakfast with Santa on Nov. 24.

In the last 19 years the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has hosted the Festival of Trees. To date, more than $9.5 million has been raised by the Festival.

During last year’s event, more than 2,600 volunteers and more than 23,000 attendees supported the Fes-

tival of Trees.

There were also 75 trees that were sponsored by local individuals and companies, fully decorated and put on display at Westerner Park during the event last year.

This year, all proceeds from the event will be directed to enhance patient care and services in diagnostic imaging, urology and the operating room at the Red Deer Regional Hospital.

These three departments work together in a collaborative effort for various treatments including prostate care and treatment, numerous urinary procedures requiring a surgical environment, including the detection of cancer, and also for identifying need for further treatment for both male and female patients.

These procedures and services are only provided at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre for more than 450,000 people living in the Central Zone. In 2012, 72% of all urology cases performed in Red Deer were performed in the OR on the current, outdated unit.

That is 979 of 1,355 urology procedures, plus 250 diagnostic imaging procedures.

Diagnostic imaging and urology will work in collaboration to purchase and install a new imaging unit in the operating room in the Hospital.

The equipment will assist the urologist with visualization of the urinary tracts of males and females and the reproductive system of males.

Improved imaging will assist in determining causes of urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence or structural problems, as well as revealing blockages such as stones, congenital abnormalities or cancers.

When not in use for imaging, the equipment will be used to prostate surgeries, stent insertions and/ or any procedure that requires access to the bladder in a surgical environment.

Tickets for the Festival of Trees went on sale on Monday and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

General admission for the Festival of Trees is $6 for adults, $3 for seniors and students aged 12-17, $2 for children aged four to 11 and children under three years of age are free.

Local organization provides support close to home

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express A Better World is well known for its work overseas in developing countries.

However, for the last two years, a new initiative from A Better World (ABW) has allowed the organization to help people closer to home as well.

Eric Rajah, founder of A Better World, said ‘Neighbours’ exists to meet the needs of people within the community, particularly those who have “Fallen between the cracks.�

By this, Rajah means people who have had misfortune befall them and landed in circumstances beyond their own control.

Such was the case with Alfred Metro, a farmer in Lacombe County near Bentley, who had his leg amputated due to diabetes.

Suddenly, Metro was not able to adequately get around his own home and had other needs he did not have the means to address as well.

Enter ABW Neighbours.

Metro’s case came to the attention of the ABW Neighbours program through a nomination process.

Ronda Ziakris, project coordinator for ABW Neighbours, said that when she heard of Metro’ case she immediately thought that this was a situation in need of some outside help.

Ziakris said that most of the initial organization of the project was done with Metro’s wife, Darlene, as he himself was still in the hospital in critical condition.

The news that the couple

would be getting some help from ABW Neighbours was “When (Darlene) found out they had been chosen, it was met with joyful tears,â€? said Ziakris. “She told us it was the ďŹ rst night she would be able to sleep since this had all happened.â€?

When Ziakris eventually did get to speak to Metro himself, she said it seemed as if a huge burden had been lifted from the man’s shoulders.

Rajah said that he too was touched by emotion when he ďŹ rst met the Metros. “It was emotional to see there were needs right in our own back yard,â€? said Rajah.

He added that he was taken aback by how grateful the Metros were. “The gratitude that came from the family and from them was overwhelming to us.�

After Metro had his leg amputated, there were several modiďŹ cations he needed to make to his own home.

Some improvements were needed to make the home a little more wheelchair accessible for Metro and he also needed a ‘dustproof’ room where he could have dialysis done in the home so he would not constantly need to visit a hospital.

Neighbours took care of everything.

They replaced the ooring throughout the entire home and added an extension onto the home that included a bedroom, bathroom and two large decks, all wheelchair accessible.

All of the work was handled by volunteer labour.

Rajah said the Metros were incredibly accommodating of the volunteers, who visited the house at all hours of the day to work whenever they have time.

“THE GRATITUDE THAT CAME FROM THE FAMILY AND FROM THEM WAS OVERWHELMING TO US.�

ERIC RAJAH Both Rajah and Ziakris said the local business community has gotten on board with Neighbours in a huge way.

Nearly all of the materials needed for the refurbishments and additions

to Metro’s home were provided by local businesses to the point where A Better World needed to contribute little to no money of its own to support the project.

Ziakris has been involved with ABW for several years and was astounded by the impact ABW was making globally with its myriad of different projects.

However, Ziakris and many in the same situation as her wanted to do more to help, but because of other commitments, like family, were unable to travel overseas.

So, Ziakris approached Rajah with the idea of start a sort of ‘local chapter’ for ABW, which Rajah embraced.

Rajah said that while ABW has been doing community projects for the past 10 years, they have always

been small projects and had more of a behind-thescenes feel to them.

Neighbours allows ABW to get involved on a larger scale and provides an opportunity for other volunteers in the community to get involved as well.

Rajah said that the neighbours program came about to meet a desire from some of the volunteers who wanted to get involved at a local level.

He added promoting volunteerism and a true feeling of neighbourhood seemed like a perfect way to do this. “Not everybody can trav-

el overseas,� said Rajah. “Not everybody wants to travel overseas. “We wanted to give them an opportunity to make the world better.� news@lacombeexpress.com

Red Deer College instructor ‘man of many talents’

BY MARK WEBER Lacombe Express Red Deer College ďŹ lm instructor Larry Reese is truly a man of many talents.

He teaches motion picture arts, and produces and directs ďŹ lm projects on his own as well. He is an acclaimed painter, an accomplished director of both stage and screen.

He has appeared in several TV and movie productions as a gifted actor. And he’s an engaging, professionally-trained musician.

And over the coming months, folks will have several chances to enjoy Reese’s exceptional work on all the aforementioned fronts, starting with a new exhibit showing at City Centre Stage. Many new paintings are set up in the facility’s new gallery, and

reect Reese’s unique and compelling approach to the visual arts in a contemporary and comfortable setting. “I love colour – that’s one thing with me, I’m not a very ‘subtle’ guy,â€? he explains with a laugh as he looks around at his paintings on display. “And with my work, there’s hopefully a sense of humour – in a lot of it.â€? Indeed, his versatility shines through at every turn, from a bright and superb family portrait to the softer and muted sensibilities of Eternal Winter.

The exhibit will be on display until early November.

Meanwhile, Reese is also gearing up to showcase his musical side with Red Deer College’s upcoming production of Alice Through the Looking Glass, set to run Nov. 21-30. The classic tale will feature music

written by Reese.

He actually penned a score for a production of Alice Through the Looking Glass in the early 1970s, and RDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production has brought those initial compositions to life once again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I dug around in my basement, and luckily, in the box there it was â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the original score.â&#x20AC;?

Reese hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard the tunes for so long, he felt a bit of trepidation about it but a collaboration with musician Morgan McKee richly brought the set of songs to life once again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like opening up a time capsule,â&#x20AC;? he explains of hearing the revitalized renditions of his melodies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as it stands now, there are six songs, a number of dances, music for the scene changes and background music as well.

It was quite an elaborate score.â&#x20AC;?

Also, Reese is appearing in a TV mini-series called Klondike, which is set to air next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a major part, but the part I have is a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a professional actor, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a professional teacher â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this gives me an opportunity to practice my craft and make sure that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m practicing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m preaching. It also helps me to make sure that what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m teaching is current because things are changing in this industry, in the way things are done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How things are shot is changing, and one of our mandates at the College is to be contemporary and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on the edgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to help me stay relevant. And then when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m talking to my students, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relevant to them now.â&#x20AC;?

For Reese, having several means of artistic expres-

sion in his life brings a sense of renewal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything but draining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music feeds art choices. I bring my ďŹ lm students into this gallery because we talk about frame composition for ďŹ lm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and compositional elements are very similar.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always an enriching, invigorating process, he explains.

HANG ON – Lacombe Rocket Gage Matwly struggles to maintain control of the puck as he is set upon by two opposing Stettler players.

Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express

Lacombe Rockets show promise this season

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Despite a one-sided loss last Friday, this could be a good season for the Lacombe Pee Wee A Rockets.

On Oct. 11, Lacombe lost 6-1 against Stettler in an exhibition game to determine league tiers for the season. While the scoreboard was not in Lacombe’s favour, coach Darryl Armitage said that the team still showed some promise during the game.

“The first two periods we didn’t really get our legs going,” said Armitage. “I think we outplayed (Stettler) in the third period.”

Armitage added that, in addition to the Rockets’ slow start on Friday night, a short bench also contributed to the loss.

In fact, Armitage said the team needed to scramble in order to find a goalie as both the team’s regular goalies were away.

Being short a few players also makes more of a difference early in the season. Once the players get to know each other better and get used to playing with each other, being down one or two players won’t affect the team much, he added.

The players seem to be coming together quite nicely. Armitage reported excellent chemistry

within the dressing room and that the team is “gelling” together.

Another strength the team will have is skating, said Armitage.

Skating was one talent that the Rockets did display in their game against Stettler, especially in the third period and is a critical skill for any team to have at any level of hockey. Transitioning between offense and defence is a skill that the Rockets will have to work on, said Armitage. He added that, right now, it’s taking players a bit too long to switch from forechecking to back-checking and vice-versa, something that was very evident on Friday night in the game against Stettler.

Armitage also said that, while the players have good chemistry in the dressing room, they need to work on knowing where their teammates are on the ice.

Working on passing and positioning will lead to the Rockets setting up much stronger plays in future games. “That will probably just take some time,” said Armitage. “It’s early in the year, that timing is off but they have a good attitude and the good skating will really bring that along.”

A positive attitude and a desire to learn will help the Rockets develop those skills quickly, said Armitage. He added that when those skills develop a few months

into the season the Rockets should have a fairly strong team.

Starting this season, body contact has been removed from pee wee minor hockey in Alberta.

However, Armitage said he predicts the rule change will have little to no effect on the team.

“Our team focuses more on skating,” said Armitage. “Taking the hitting out of there isn’t going to affect these guys at all. Being a strong skating team it will probably help them a little bit.”

This year’s team is about a 50/50 mix between first-year pee wee rookies and second-year pee wee veterans. news@lacombeexpress.com

CLASSIC SOUNDS – Famous for their hit The Birdie Dance are The Emeralds; Don Remeika (drums), Reiner Piehl (keyboards), Allan Broder (saxophone) Wallis Petruk (saxophone), Terry Kole (guitar) and Jason Broder (public relations). The group will take the stage at Lacombe’s Oktoberfest on Oct. 19.

The Emeralds return to Lacombe for Oktoberfest

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Once again, the creators of the famous Birdie Song will be making their way to Lacombe to play at the annual Knights of Columbus Oktoberfest celebration.

Allan Broder, vocalist and tenor saxophonist who also acts as manager for the band, said that Lacombe’s Oktoberfest is one show the band looks forward to every year.

“It’s a packed house, it’s soldout every year,” said Broder. “The people love what we’re doing and they treat us lovely and we just love going back there.”

Broder further complimented Lacombe and its Oktoberfest celebration by commenting on the beauty of Lacombe and of the

venue and the incredible cooperation of the organizers.

A desire to entertain is what keeps The Emeralds doing what they do, said Broder. He added he enjoys the atmosphere of the band’s shows and seeing people having a good time.

“The people come to have a good time and that’s what we give them. We always end up pleasing everybody because we play a little bit of something that everybody likes.”

Oktoberfest celebrations are something of a specialty for The Emeralds.

Broder added that the band has been playing Oktoberfest shows for 30 years and have a good amount of traditional German Oktoberfest music in its repertoire.

He said The Emeralds spent a lot of time playing German clubs early in the band’s infancy which pushed the band to learn some traditional German music.

He added the band taught themselves the German style of music by listening to tapes and trying to mimic the sounds. “(Those clubs) were our bread and butter for a lot of years. Naturally we tried to satisfy them as much as we could by learning music that they enjoyed back in Germany.”

The Emeralds have been making music since the band formed in 1970. Broder said the members were brought together by mutual beliefs that the kind of music they liked to play was lacking representation in the music industry.

All of The Emeralds share a

passion for performing and a deep love of music, said Broder.

He added that he himself was attracted to music through a love of the saxophone, the instrument he now plays. Broder said he grew up listening to saxophone music and always loved the sound of it.

Since the band’s formation more than 40 years ago, The Emeralds have performed all over the world and recorded 30 albums. They have also gained global fame through the huge hit The Bird Dance.

This will be the sixth annual Knights of Columbus Oktoberfest. The event is a fundraiser for the Knights, who then use the money raised for a number of projects within the community.

Timmons said in the past the Knights have supported the Lacombe Athletic Park, the Lacombe Skateboard Park, FCSS, the Lacombe Food Bank, Father Lacombe School and various other organizations.

Oktoberfest takes place at the Lacombe Memorial Centre on Oct. 19. Cocktails are at 6:30 p.m. with supper beginning at 7 p.m.

Chad Brownlee part of ‘Your Town Throwdown’ Tour

BY MARK WEBER Lacombe Express Canadian country singers Chad Brownlee, Jason Blaine and Deric Ruttan are hitting the tour circuit this year clear across the nation.

Their ‘Your Town Throwdown Tour’ lands in Red Deer Nov. 9 at Cowboys Bar & Nightclub.

A singer, songwriter, philanthropist and NHL draft pick, Vancouver-based Brownlee is a man of many talents. His singles have been climbing the charts, cracking the top 10. He also received his first Juno Award nomination for the 2013 Country Album of the Year. These days, he’s looking forward to hitting the road with his country

counterparts. “I’m good friends with Jason and Deric, and I’ll get to know them a lot better obviously when I get on a bus with them for a month,” he says with a laugh. “We’re all really excited about it.”

Each musician will take a turn, and there will be plenty of collaborating onstage as well, he said.

“They’ve been doing this for longer than I have, so there’s definitely things I can learn from them. And at some points on the road, we’ll definitely be writing together. It’s going to be a learning experience.”

In addition to his music, last summer Brownlee partnered with the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation to share music with campers, leading work-

shops across the country.

He also enjoyed a showcase year in the Canadian music scene as well, topping things off with a 2012 Canadian Country Music Award (CCMA) nomination for Male Artist of the Year and performing on the broadcast of the awards show.

His latest disc, Love Me Or Leave Me, was released in early 2012.

“Love Me or Leave Me, like much of my work, is drawn from personal experience,” he said. “To create a song my fans can relate to and connect with, genuine emotion is definitely imperative.”

Brownlee’s love for music stretches back to his youth. “They were very supportive of whatever I wanted to do,” he says of his folks. “When it came down to my choice to play hockey or play various musical instruments, they let me explore that.

“I owe them a huge debt of gratitude, because it has led me to the philosophy of ‘You really need to do what you need to do’. It’s very important to follow what you are truly made to do. My parents gave me the platform and the environment to do so.”

His parents had him in piano lessons early on, and he later picked up the tenor sax and then opted for guitar. He was well into hockey at this point as well.

“In my spare time I would look up guitar tabs on the Internet, and just

TALENTED TRIO – Singers Chad Brownlee, Deric Ruttan and Jason Blaine are joining forces for the ‘Your Town Throwdown’ national tour. They perform in Red Deer on Nov. 9. photo submitted

play cover songs at parties with all my hockey buddies.” He credits Garth Brooks’ music as leading to him into the country genre. “And I’ve never really looked back since. I did have an eclectic mix of music growing up, and I basically took in everything I listened to.”

When he began university at 19, a gift for songwriting started to emerge.

“It’s been a steady progression, but my love for music has always been there. Even at a young age,

I felt the emotion in the piano when I played it and I think that’s what gave me the bug, and has led me to where I am today.”

But as his hockey career progressed, (Brownlee was a sixth round NHL draft pick for the Vancouver Canucks in 2003) repeated shoulder injuries proved an obstacle and he came to a kind of crossroads. “It wasn’t until my last injury, I came back and didn’t have the same strength, and that kind of diminished a love for the game. That’s when I

vote

On Oct. 21St

had the revelation of ‘why am I doing this?’ All I wanted to do was hit the showers and go home. I knew that life is too short to do something you don’t enjoy.

So I made the conscious decision to change that.”

His gift for songwriting was first acknowledged when he was nominated for the NCAA Hockey Humanitarian Award for his song The Hero I See in his fourth year at Minnesota State University. His debut CD was released in 2010. editor@reddeerexpress.com
