Local filmmakers unveil long-awaited project Year after Year screening set for early November in Red Deer BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express

T

he creative team behind a highly-anticipated film production is thrilled to screen their project early next month. The Matchbox Theatre Foundation and Ozmosis Entertainment in association with Ignition Theatre are premiering Year After Year, adapted from the criticallyacclaimed 2010 stage musical of the same name. The world premiere screening, which is by invitation only, takes place Oct. 27th. A week-long public screening runs at Carnival Cinemas Nov. 1-7. “Having the opportunity to produce a feature film checks the box beside the number one item on my personal bucket list,” said Matt Grue, producer/co-screenwriter, Year After Year. “To be able to have done it alongside the friends and the colleagues I’ve been working with for the past decade makes it even more thrilling.” Grue also wrote Year After Year, while Curtis Labelle penned the music. The lyrics were written by Spencer Pasman and Stephanie Ridge. He also credits an outpouring of generosity and support from the local community as critical to completing the project. Year After Year chronicles the dissolving years of seven friends in their late 20s as they attempt to navigate the tumultuous waters of hollow careers, lost ambition, forgotten dreams and the relationships that matter most, even when they can’t recognize it. They reunite each year to ‘celebrate’ the birthday of Bill; a struggling writer paralyzed by expectation and fraught with fears about a seemingly bleak future. Hunter, his best friend, is an ultra successful photographer; Todd and Rachel are couple teetering on the edge of divorce; Peter and Laura have been dating since college and are looking towards the next step and Kate, who has known Bill for as long as she can remember, is trying to negotiate her love for him and her need to let go.

IT’S A WRAP - From left, Elena Porter, Sarah Hemphill, Matthew Thiel, Joel Crichton, Andrew McKenzie, Zina Lee and Chris Cook star in Year After Harley Hay photo Year, a locally-produced film which is set for release next month. As another year passes by, Year After Year examines how even the most nuanced moments in our lives can have a monumental impact on our future. Joel Crichton, who played Bill in the stage production, resumes the part for the film. Rounding out the cast are Sarah Hemphill, Matthew Thiel, Elena Porter, Chris W. Cook, Andrew McKenzie and Zina Lee. Grue recalls the production’s original theatre run, and the suggestion that the story would translate well to the big screen. He approached Dustin Clark about the project, and to gauge Clark’s interest in directing the project. That was in the late spring of 2010. Grue also knew that Clark was the ideal choice to direct the film, not only because of his extensive training and experience but also because of Clark’s innate understanding of utilizing film in storytelling.

“Dustin is brilliant. He can look at any script on a page and know exactly how it will be shot, how it should come together, what the colour correction will look like, what sound needs to be there – he just has this crazy understanding of how film works for an audience. So there was no question that he had to do it. “He and I have also had such a long, healthy collaborative relationship that I knew I wouldn’t get pushed aside, and that I could challenge him in such a way that I couldn’t challenge another director.” In those early days of pre-production, Grue said he kept thinking about the potential list of issues and challenges that would come in pulling of such an enormous production. But things have fallen into place and the outpouring of help and support that the local community showed to cast and crew

ticular, they are tough to write because you have to write with such broad strokes. You have to know you are transitioning out of a song and then eventually you have to get into a song. You’re really serving a story more than you typically would.” That makes the skills and giftings of an actor that much more important. “You get someone like Joel who can take the writing and just find so much depth and create layers that you can experience as an audience. He does these brilliant, subtle things, he makes so many interesting choices and he’s so open to trying anything. He anchors it beautifully and never draws attention to himself,” added Grue. “He gives a stunning, stunning performance.” For more information about Year After Year, check out www. yearafteryearmusical.com. editor@reddeerexpress.com

was amazing. “It only feels right to have the premiere of Year After Year in the City that so lovingly supported it,” said Clark. “We shot in and around dozens of locations here and hundreds of people from all over the community lent their support in incalculable ways. “In no other community could a project like this have been made. To have so much given to us in faith and goodwill is very humbling and incredibly inspiring. I am excited for people to see the film and hope that it inspires them as well, to make art and tell stories and to be proud of the possibilities that their city offers.” As for his leading man, there was also no doubt Crichton, who also starred in the theatrical production, would best meet the demands of the show, added Grue. “He is so, so good in this movie.

Win an iPad at waste reduction event Red Deer residents don’t have to be haunted by the amount of garbage they produce if they reduce, reuse, and recycle. That’s the idea behind the Waste Reduction Day Spooktacular event happening at the City of Red Deer’s Waste Management Facility Oct. 26 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“WE WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WASTE THEY PRODUCE AND WHERE IT ENDS UP.” LAUREN MARIS The inaugural event aims to educate residents about the services the Waste Management Facility offers to help keep items out of the landfill, including the household hazardous waste drop-off, recycling dropoff depot, and electronics recycling dropoff. “We buried 1.6 million tonnes of garbage in our old landfill between 1972 and 2001. As a community, we have already packed over 1.2 million tonnes of garbage into our current landfill since it opened in 2001,” said Janet Whitesell, waste management superintendent. “The more people reduce their consumption, reuse items or give them away to others, and recycle what

they can, the more we can extend the life of our landfill. It is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to create new landfills, so it’s important that we make this one last.” During the Spooktacular event, brief bus tours of the facility are scheduled for 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Halloween candy, cookies and hot chocolate will be available at the Interpretive Centre. Residents can earn up to six ballots per person to enter to win an iPad if they bring in old batteries, used compact fluorescent light bulbs, e-waste (computers, monitors, TVs), household hazardous waste, dress in a Halloween costume and bring a travel mug. “We want people to understand the connection between the waste they produce and where it ends up,” said Lauren Maris, environmental program specialist. “This event demonstrates the consequences of consumption, but it also shows how to divert goods from the landfill by recycling items such as old computers, and disposing of some items – such as batteries – in an environmentally-appropriate way.” This event wraps up Waste Reduction Week, which is a national campaign to raise awareness about the environmental and social consequences of waste.

OPINION New era for council Red Deer voters turned out in solid numbers to make their voices heard in terms of City leadership Monday. We have a new mayor and three new City councillors to help shape the future of Red Deer – it’s indeed a new chapter in municipal politics. Mayor Tara Veer brings much to the post – charisma, experience (three terms as City councillor), employment as a Member of Parliament assistant, common sense leadership and she’s relatable to the community. It’s quite the achievement for someone in their mid-30s to be elected as mayor, not to mention already having served for nine years on council. But the community has always shown their appreciation for Veer. In past elections she’s been consistently one of the highest-voted councillors. As for the newcomers on City council, it will be interesting to see how they gel with the five incumbents. It’s always a steep learning curve for newbies, as they are really thrust into the thick of things immediately – there is no delicate training period especially with the capital and operational budgets being pretty much right around the corner. Being able to learn quickly, collaborate with others, adapt, and cooperate will be key in the foreseeable future for this council. Lawrence Lee and Ken Johnston both

bring solid backgrounds in community work and business to their roles as councillors. Tanya Handley was the sole Red Deer First member to make it onto council, so it will be interesting to see what she brings as an individual to the table after campaigning with a large group. It would be remiss to not acknowledge the loss of Cindy Jefferies on City council. Elected in 2004, she continuously brought strong leadership and direction to council and prior to that she was at the helm of Red Deer Public school board for several years as board chair, too. She was never afraid to say what she thought and to stand up for what she believed in. It has left a huge void on council, and we’re sorry to see her leave City politics altogether. It will certainly be an interesting four years ahead as the City continues to go through a series of growing pains. There are many projects on the table, including the development of the Riverlands area, the north highway connector, encouraging more growth on the City’s north end and the continued issues surrounding bike lanes, a new aquatic centre featuring a 50m swimming pool, crime prevention and safety issues among others. It’s always a balance of handling perceived community needs vs. what truly needs to happen for the City’s best interest.

Exploring the ways we decide who we will trust Knowing who to trust is an important social and business skill. But it’s not easy to be accurate and contrary to popular opinion, we don’t give it much time. Two seconds – 30 seconds, tops – that’s all it takes to assess the confidence, competence, status, likeability, warmth, and – yes – trustworthiness of someone we’ve just met. In fact, it’s impossible not to make these snap judgments about people. Our brains are wired that way. Because few of us have the mental agility to consciously perceive and process all the factors needed to make these calculations, we rely on unconscious estimates – or guesses – based on our past experiences and preconceptions. These estimates are also highly influenced by surprisingly small factors, like

Carol

KINSEY GOMAN where we meet someone, what they wear, what their voices sound like, whether their posture mimics ours, if they mention of the names of people we know or admire, and even the shape of their faces. Researchers at the Kellogg Scholl of Management used subliminal cues, such as mentioning the name of a good friend, to trigger feelings of trust for a stranger. These studies also showed that a potentially risky decision to trust someone can begin below an individual’s conscious

awareness – before there has been time to evaluate or verity the subject’s track record, for example, or inquire about his reputation. We trust some faces and distrust others – did you know that there are facial features that we innately trust or mistrust? By studying people’s reactions to a range of artificially–generated faces, researchers in Princeton’s psychology department found that faces with high inner eyebrows, pronounced cheekbones, and a wide chin struck people as trustworthy. Conversely, faces with low inner brows, shallow cheekbones and a thin chin were deemed untrustworthy. Of course, you and I realize that eyebrow shapes and cheekbones have no relationship with trustworthiness, but unconsciously we override

our rational minds and make an instant and instinctive judgment. We trust similarities and are wary of differences. It’s a well-known principle in social psychology that people define themselves in terms of social groupings: any group that we feel part of is an ‘in group’ and any group that excludes is an ‘out group’. We think differently about members in each group and behave differently toward them. We judge a book by its cover. Unfair though it may be, and even if we proclaim otherwise, we judge people by their appearance. And we automatically assign favorable traits to good looking people, finding them to be more likeable, competent and honest than unattractive people. Our expectations highjack our ability to be objec-

tive There is a magician’s trick called the Vanishing Ball Illusion in which a ball tossed in the air seems to disappear, but in reality is never actually thrown. The trick depends on the magician’s skill in creating such a strong expectation of the throw that the audience actually hallucinates having seen it. The trick works because we are psychologically programmed to see what we expect to see. Which is exactly how biases highjack our ability to judge trustworthiness. Whenever we meet new people, our brain automatically and immediately begins to categorize them in some way – male or female, same or different, friend or foe – in order to predict what is likely to happen next. The first step to making better decisions about whom to trust is to real-

ize that we are all biased. Biases result from the mental shortcuts that our brains revert to when facing otherwise overwhelming information-processing demands. The process of deciding whether or not to trust others depends on the category we’ve instantly and unconsciously assigned them to – and our past experiences with people from that group. While these mental shortcuts work reasonably well most of the time, they also leave us vulnerable to a variety of judgment traps. This is especially true when it comes to trust.

Mix of newcomers and incumbents on council BY ERIN FAWCETT AND MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Three new faces have joined the ranks of City council. Lawrence Lee (8,406 votes), Ken Johnston (7,134 votes) and Tanya Handley (6,622 votes) were elected to council Monday night. Rounding out City council includes incumbents Dianne Wyntjes with 9,840 votes, Buck Buchanan with 8,434 votes, Lynne Mulder with 8,341 votes, Frank Wong with 8,018 votes and Paul Harris with 6,631 votes. Mulder said in the next four years she is looking forward to accomplishing many things as the new council moves forward. “I’m really anxious to see crime prevention unfold. We’ve done a lot of work with the police and the servicing standard but we haven’t unfolded our crime prevention banner which is just beginning. I’m also really excited about Riverlands and seeing that get developed – we’re not going to develop it all, but we’re going to be excited to start it.” Harris said that moving forward, it’s very important that City council develop a strong means of better communicating with the public. “Council has never really had the ability to communicate with the public – it’s always been through administration,” he said. “That’s a big one for me because we’ve got so much diversity in the community and I don’t think council is hearing the voices of the whole community.” As for projects, Harris said he wants to

see the aquatic centre built to the community’s vision – not watered down. “I think it’s very important that we don’t try and scale back the community’s vision.” That includes planning fundraising initiatives in the community and with the province. With a bid for the winter games for 2019 in place, the timing is right, he said. Harris also pointed to ongoing development in the Riverlands as a top priority. Buchanan said there is much work to be done in the next four years. “We have to first off make a team (with council). There’s going to be that steep learning curve for all of us. We’ll have a three or four-month period of getting to know our teammates – how do they think? And what do they think?” he said. “There are a lot of infrastructure challenges right now. We have the winter games bid coming up really quickly – there’s no lack of stuff to do.” Wyntjes said she was honoured and humbled the citizens of Red Deer again showed confidence in her to represent them. “I start my campaign the first day after the election. I was out and about in the community, and I think it’s really about connecting with people. The citizens may not have liked everything I did throughout the year, but for the most part for me it’s about weighing everything out,” she said. “We run individually as candidates, but now, after the council is determined and sworn in, we have to work together and get the work done.” She said keeping ambulance dispatch local and development of the Riverlands are among the top issues for

her heading into the new term. Wong said he looks forward to pushing for more development on the City’s north side. “We are losing residential, commercial and industrial market to our surrounding towns. We keep pushing (development) to the southeast. People can get from Sylvan Lake, Blackfalds and Penhold to Queens Business Park five minutes faster than those living in Inglewood or Vanier in Red Deer,” he said. Wong also indicated the ward system, which was rejected in a ballot question, would have helped with such a large number of candidates this year – 30 people tried for a seat on council. Meanwhile, council newcomer Johnston said he is excited to join council. “I just want to thank Red Deer and obviously thank all of my supporters. It’s been an awesome five months and I can’t wait to get to work.” He added there are many issues he hopes to tackle in his first term on council. “Downtown development and railyards would be critical. The north connector road is part of the equation in getting that piece right for the City,” he said. “If you look at what is ahead of us, people still expect us to spend wisely and when you think of our capital plan coming up and our budget coming up, I think the public will expect this team to pay attention to that as well as the bigger, broader issues.” Lee said he was very humbled to see the support he was shown as the results came in Monday evening. “I stepped up on my social networking efforts, and really it was

about doing the things that I learned on school board – engaging with people and meeting with them where they are. I think it made a huge difference – being out there and being accessible.” Lee said he’s looking forward to building relationships with the rest of council and Mayor Tara Veer. Handley is also a newcomer to council, and the only person from the Red Deer First group to be successful in her bid for the post. “I ran with Red Deer First – people supporting each other with a great team behind me, lots of help with sign repair and campaigning – so I think that helped having a good team behind me,” she said. “A big thing for me is trying to get a good debt repayment strategy in place,” she added in terms of looking ahead. As to joining five incumbents, she noted, “They definitely have a lot of experience – I need to learn from them and work together as a group and collaborate.” In addition, voters voiced their opinion when it came to the question posed on the ballot regarding a ward system. The question on the ballot asked if the City should have ward systems or not - 13,097 electors voted no and 5,130 voted yes. Meanwhile, elected to the public school board are Bev Manning, Bill Stuebing, Bill Christie, Cathy Peacocke, Jim Watters, Dianne Macaulay and Dick Lemke. Elected to the Catholic School board are Adriana Lagrange, Anne Marie Watson, David Bouchard, Guy Pelletier and Murray Hollman. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Central Albertans encouraged to get u shot Health ofďŹ cials are asking Albertans to get immunized to prevent the spread of u this season. All Albertans should be immunized to reduce their chances of getting the u and passing it on to others, ofďŹ cials say. “The inuenza vaccine isn’t just about keeping you healthy – it’s about keeping the people around you healthy too. This vaccine reduces the spread of this illness and deaths in our province. “It also helps reduce pressure on our emergency departments and on our health care system as a whole,â€? said Fred Horne, health minister. The vaccine is free of charge to all Al-

bertans six months of age and older. The vaccine is available at public clinics as well at some pharmacies and physician ofďŹ ces. Once again this year, a nasal spray will be available for children two to 17 years of age. Nearly 920,000 Albertans were immunized during last year’s inuenza season. That’s an increase of nearly 46,000 from the previous year. About 60% of seniors and 30% of children between six - 23 months were immunized last year. Another simple and effective way to stay healthy and prevent the spread of inuenza is through proper handwashing.

About 80% of common infections are spread by hands. In Alberta, the average cost of treating a hospitalized person with inuenza is $17,000. Inuenza is an infection of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs) that is caused by a virus. The virus gets into the air when someone with the disease coughs, sneezes or talks. It can also be spread by touching objects that have been coughed or sneezed upon by someone with the virus. Children six to 59 months of age, pregnant women, those 65 years of age and over and people with chronic health conditions are at higher risk of developing complications from inuenza. Complications

can include pneumonia (bacterial or viral), ear and sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. Clinic dates in Red Deer run Oct. 21-22 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Oct. 23 from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on a drop-in basis at the Harvest Centre. Additional clinics will be held at the Red Deer Curling Centre on Oct. 29-30 and Nov. 28 from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. on a drop-in basis as well. They will also be held Nov. 8, 13-14 and 21 from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. on a drop-in basis at the Red Deer iHotel as well. -Weber

Sadly, you are not alone in your suffering. You, like thousands in Red Deer and Central Alberta, suffer with back and neck pain. There’s a good chance, you have probably seen a doctor in the past few days or weeks because of your continual pain. If you have, you’ve likely received this advice. Pain drugs or physiotherapy or‌both. If those two don’t help you, you are then told: “You’ll have to learn to live with the pain or have surgery.â€? I don’t know about you . . . neither of these options sound appealing to me. In desperation, you may have been to your chiropractor. They did everything they could. Or . . . you have seen an acupuncturist and had a series of needles inserted. Nothing has helped you. What are you supposed to do? Just suffer? The thought of a lifetime of pain and limitation is depressing. Your joy has been sucked out of you. You cannot enjoy your life. You can’t work in the garden. You can’t golf. In fact, it’s hard to even get around the house. Even the basics are a chore. What if there was another way? What if there was a non-surgical, painless, in-office and cheap way to get quick relief as well as long term freedom from pain, suffering and poor mobility? There is another way. There is help.

Like many communities, Red Deer faces a growing battle against drugs in the community. The police cannot solve this issue alone and require the community to become involved. In some instances it may be difficult to know what to look for in regards to drug activity, some of the following may be indicators: - Large amounts of vehicle and foot traffic coming and going from a residence or vehicle. - Repeated, observable exchanges of items and money. - Possible marijuana grow operations noxious odours coming from a residence with blinds always drawn and high humidity in windows. Don’t assume that the police already know about the suspicious activity, or that a neigh-

The fate of buffalo in Central Alberta Central Alberta has an incredible wealth and diversity of natural vegetation and wildlife. However, despite this wonderful abundance, the natural world can also be very fragile and easily disrupted by humankind. Probably the best example of this is the fate of the bison, more commonly known as the buffalo. It is hard for us today to realize how prolific the buffalo once were. In ancient times, the prairies and the parklands were black with the huge numbers of the animals. Annie L. Gaetz, in her book The Park Country, related how David McDougall, one of the famous McDougall missionary family, was once forced to wait for more than three days at the Red Deer Crossing until an enormous herd of buffalo crossed the river and he had a chance to ford. In a similar story, she recounted how McDougall was prevented from mak-

Michael

DAWE ing his way across what are now the Central School grounds because the large number of buffalo cows and calves that were blocking his way. The First Peoples of Central Alberta enjoyed a relatively rich and comfortable life by relying on the buffalo as their main source of food, clothing, material for shelter and utensils. The First Peoples made such efficient use of the buffalo that sometimes the animals were referred to as the ‘factories of the plains.’ The journals of the early explorer Anthony Henday give us a glimpse of how well the First Nations lived, particularly after they ac-

quired the horse and the gun which made it much easier to hunt the buffalo. In 1754, he described an encampment at Pine Lake as having 200 large teepees, arranged in two long rows with a broad ‘avenue,’ nearly a kilometre long. The chief’s tent was located at one end and was large enough to contain 50 people. There was food in tremendous abundance: boiled buffalo meat served in baskets and large haunches roasted on the fire. By the mid-19th century, large buffalo hunter camps were established north east of what is now Delburne and around Buffalo Lake. At their peak, these communities of Tail Creek and Boss Hill were the largest inhabited places west of Winnipeg. However, they were also the sign of the rapid decline of the buffalo. The herds that used to populate the Red River Valley and eastern Saskatchewan

were rapidly vanishing. The Metis buffalo hunters consequently were forced to move to west Central Alberta to find herds large enough to sustain their way of life. Not long afterwards, the buffalo vanished from this part of the world as well. The last reported sighting of wild buffalo in the Red Deer area occurred north of the Red Deer Crossing in the summer of 1884. There were a mere six animals in the herd. Nature quickly responds to sudden changes. One of the first consequences of

the near extinction of the buffalo was the disappearance of the magpie. These birds of the corvidae family became so scarce that any sighting of them became front page news. It was not until the arrival of large herds of cattle and the large amounts of waste and debris left around by humankind that the magpie made a major comeback in numbers. The years 1887-1888 were recorded as being amongst the very best hunting seasons in Central Alberta’s history. Various species of wild-

life rapidly filled the space left by the vanishing buffalo. C.G. Ross reported shooting 40 prairie chickens in an hour. One First Nations hunter was able to shoot 11 deer in a couple of days in the Hunting Hills southeast of Red Deer. Later, two hunters were able to bag 37 deer in the same area in less than a week, along with a number of wolves and lynx. However, the wild buffalo never returned. Those that are found in Central Alberta today are those that are being raised by local farmers and ranchers.

Annual haunted house is set to scare BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express It’s that time of year again and the spotlights can be seen circling the sky around the Zed Haunted House. Intended for audiences over 10 years of age, the spook-tacular haunted house is not for the faint of heart. With a gut-wrenching and shiver-invoking theme of ‘You’re Never Alone in the Dark’, the event is sure to frighten you while testing your fear-handling abilities. Deemed as Central Alberta’s most ‘fatal’ attraction, the Zed Haunted House is put on as a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Red Deer and District. Located at 7710 50 Ave. in Lions Plaza the event runs until Oct. 31st. Tickets are $15 per person or $20 for a

Spook Pass that includes preferred (fasttrack) admission, exclusive photo op with characters and a Trick or Treat gift. Even the lobby is full of fun as you hear the screams of those in the house already. The official house web site at www.zedhauntedhouse.com explains that “As soon as you enter the front door, you will be transported into a realm of terror - a dark twisting maze through rooms populated with creatures from your worst nightmares. Your only goal will be to elude the predators who stalk you through the darkness - to be a survivor, not a victim, of the house.” Director of the Boys and Girls Club, John Johnson and head of the Zed Haunted House, believes the success of the event for so many years is due to the incredible support from the community alongside

CITY BRIEFS AUTHOR VISITS CITY A New York Times bestselling author will be visiting Red Deer Public Library Oct. 24. Fans of literature, especially successful Canadian literature, will not want to miss meeting Ontario-born, highly-acclaimed author Cathy Marie Buchanan. “We are absolutely thrilled to have such high caliber talent speaking in our Library,� said RDPL staff member Mary Neely, who has coordinated the author’s visit. Neely has invited Buchanan to meet with her bookclub, Fireside Readers, via Skype several times and due to those Internet meetings, the two arranged for Buchanan to come to the Library. “We are so appreciative of her kind offer to come here on her own dime, not many authors will do that.� Buchanan’s reasoning for coming to the City is one of affection for the small nineperson book club held at Red Deer Public Library. “Though I’ve yet to visit Red Deer in person, I feel a real kinship with the library. I’ve Skyped into the library’s book club meetings for both

United Way closer to their campaign goal United Way of Central Alberta staff and volunteers have been busy over the past four weeks and have announced that 35%, or $787,817 of the $2.25 million community goal for the 2013 campaign has been raised so far. “We have been working at connecting with our local businesses, partners and donors to let everyone know that they can be a hero to community members in need. There are so many people who have already been helped by United Way each year and yet we know that there are still more who need support,” said Dustin Sundby, 2013 volunteer campaign cabinet co-chair. The money raised during the campaign will be invested back into the community in the upcoming months. “We want to show our donors that their decision to support United Way is

already having a positive impact on the community, which is why we strive to invest it as soon as possible. This year, we were excited to welcome six new programs into our United Way family, creating stronger impact and supporting more kids to be all that they can be,” said Robert Mitchell, CEO of United Way of Central Alberta. “It’s even more crucial that we have a successful campaign, as we are hoping to welcome even more programs into the fold early this spring.” This year’s campaign theme is ‘Be A Superhero For Change’ and it seems to have resonated with the public. “It’s a simple decision to step forward and support your community and that simple decision has a lasting impact on hundreds if not thousands of lives. That’s what we believe superheroes do, protect and support those in need,”

said Buck Buchanan, 2013 volunteer campaign cochair. “This campaign started strong and we need it to continue on that trend. However, we still have a long way to go.” The money raised during this campaign is put back into the community and provides consistent funding to over 40 programs and services in Central Alberta. Last year, 3,368 young children and their families were able to learn about how to get the best start in life. Altogether, over 108,000 people in Central Alberta were helped thanks to donor dollars raised during campaign. The United Way invests in a wide array of human service agencies that help local people transition from dependence to independence, and improve their quality of life. - Fawcett

Classic show pays tribute to legendary group Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons’s hits featured on Oct. 27 in Red Deer BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Fans of the enduring classics won’t want to miss OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons set for Oct. 27 at the Memorial Centre. It’s an exciting musical revue written by Motown producer and creative consultant George Solomon, directed by Michael Chapman with choreography by Paul Holmquist. Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, My Eyes Adored You, Working My Way Back To You, Let’s Hang On and Who Loves You are just some of the hits audiences will enjoy from the songbook of those boys from Jersey - Frankie Vallie & the Four Seasons. “We put this show together in the fall of 2008,” said Solomon, during an interview from his office in Los Angeles. “It’s all about the songs, and it’s done in a humorous way. You also get to know the four characters onstage. The audience also starts to really like the four individuals, and when the show is over they know their names.” There are no big splashy special effects – just the power of the music, which is more than enough, he added. “It’s been crafted so well, you get really into it. You don’t need anything else but those four guys.” Solomon describes himself as a huge fan of Valli, and recalls his older siblings listening to his tunes all the time. “Even as a kid, (I found)

his songs so catchy, and his voice was so accessible and irresistible. I find that even now when we have kids under 10 in the audience, they love this show. They come up to us afterwards, talking about how they love these songs, and how they listened to the words.” These days, there are more than 50 guys divided into teams of four performing the show world-wide. It’s a challenge to find the right performers, as producers aren’t just looking for one guy to ‘play’ Valli. “All four guys sing lead; all four are featured. You need four guys who can sing, have good comedy timing, who are good dancers and good actors on top of all of that, too.” While the smash hit Jersey Boys is a musical biography of the group, OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons is a concert and tribute, which features all the original hits as well as top 10 releases not in Broadway’s Tony award-winning hit. This includes Valli’s biggest solo hit from the blockbuster movie Grease. “I don’t think there is anybody, of any age, who doesn’t know that song. It was the very biggest hit of Frankie Valli’s solo career,” said Solomon, who is virtually a veteran performer having begun his professional career at age 15. While in New York City, he appeared in many theatrical productions and in a short time went onto receive a ‘Drama Critics Award for Best Actor’ in Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn.

MEMORY LANE – Capturing the magic of many classic hits, OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four photo submitted Seasons arrives in Red Deer Oct. 27. Scouted by an ABC TV executive who prompted him to move to the west coast, Solomon landed a lead in the show Stars on 45, which went on to be filmed and released by Universal MCA. This led to a role in the criticallyacclaimed musical Dream Street for which he was the recipient of the Las Vegas Entertainment Personality of the Year Award. He was later spotted by Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., leading to an ongoing association with Emmy Award winning producer Suzanne Depasse. Solomon was also asked to create a live production

The series Motown Review also gave Solomon the chance to perform with and for a variety of stars including Diana Ross, Bill Cosby, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, George Michael, Liza Minnelli among others. “The only one that ever really left me speechless – think I stammered – was when I was face to face with Lucille Ball. She’s such a figure of our imagination from television, you just can’t believe she’s standing in front of you.” In 1990, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons were inducted into the Rock and

As for the songs’ enduring appeal, Solomon credits the songwriting finesse and Valli’s unique voice with much of its legendary nature. “I think it’s the way the songs were crafted. I see them as little stories, and I think they had amazingly catchy hooks to them. If you hear one of the songs once, you can sing it – the melody would be in your head and the harmonies

Red Deer Express 21

Deric Ruttan part of ‘Your Town Throwdown Tour’ BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Canadian country singer Deric Ruttan has a few big reasons to celebrate these days. The popular artist just released his latest CD last week Take the Week Off, and it’s packed with a slate of potential radiofriendly hits. He’s also on the road with artists Chad Brownlee and Jason Blaine for the ‘Your Town Throwdown’ tour, with a stop in Red Deer Nov. 9 at the Cowboys Bar & Nightclub. So the CD’s release and the tour, which kicked off in Prince Edward Island last week and wraps up in Vancouver in mid-November, comes at a perfect time for Ruttan, who is based in Nashville these days. It’s a time to reconnect with his homeland, catch up with friends and family and introduce new tunes to his growing following. Ruttan has a keen ability for capturing the people and places that populate his songs so listeners can see them in their mind’s eye. In part, that’s a product of his earliest musical influences – Gordon Lightfoot, rock artists CCR and Bruce Springsteen, and crossover country stars like Steve Earle. “I’ve always been drawn to songs that paint pictures in your mind as you’re listening. It’s something I’ve always tried to do as a songwriter.” Over time, Ruttan’s ability to paint such lyrical portraits has led to opportunities to write with a growing list of his peers including Aaron Pritchett, Eric Church, Doc Walker and Dierks Bentley. His success as a recording artist garnered him a Juno nomination for Best Country Re-

cord in 2010 for Sunshine, as well as multiple nominations for the 2011 Canadian Country Music Awards, including Male Artist, Songwriter, Single and Video of the Year for That’s How I Want To Go Out. In addition, Sunshine’s lead single, Up All Night was the most-played Canadian country single of 2010. As for the current tour, he was immediately interested in teaming up with Brownlee and Blaine. A couple of years back, he hit the road with Dean Brody and Aaron Lines for the 2011 CMT Hitlist Tour. “I really enjoyed the package tour concept, and the camaraderie that comes with sharing a bus and sharing a stage and taking a show like that on the road,” he explains. For the Throwdown tour, all three guys have the same booking agent, so the tour came together smoothly. “The energy of our music is similar, and I’ve know Jason for eight or nine years. We all know each other pretty well. And if last night (the tour’s first show) is any indication, I think we are going to have a really fun time. “The reason we called it the Your Town Throw Down is because we are all from different places. As we roll across Canada, it’s not about where we come from, it’s about your town. We’re asking people to bring the party to us, so to speak. We’re trying to keep the focus on the energy, and have as good a time as we can. I’m also so excited to get back to Alberta to play – it’s one of my favourite places to play country music.” For Ruttan, a knack for songwriting was sparked early. “When I was 12 years old,

I got my first guitar and pretty much immediately I started writing songs. Before I even got a guitar, my cousin and I wrote a song in an old fishing hut his dad had sitting in a field by their house. In the summer, that was our fort. We’d sit there and write songs – of course they were terrible,” he adds with a laugh. But still, the interest – and the ability – grew from there. He won a national songwriting contest in high school via a teacher’s encouragement. As the years unfolded, he kept writing, formed a few bands and then in 1994 he headed down to Nashville to try his luck at breaking into the business. “About a year and a half in, I got a publishing deal

writing for a company. Nineteen years later, I’ve had three publishing deals and spent 15 of the 19 years I’ve spent in Nashville writing for different publishing companies. It didn’t come quickly. I was in town for about seven years before I had anyone record one of my songs, and nine years before I heard one of my songs on the radio.” That was What Was I Thinkin’ by Dierks Bentley. Perseverance indeed pays off. Superstar Blake Shelton included a co-write with Ruttan called Mine Would Be You on his latest disc as well. That tune happened to be number one in Canada as of last week. Ruttan’s latest project certainly mirrors his continued growth as a prolific

writer, singer and artist on so many levels. Although Take the Week Off didn’t start out with a particular vision. “Basically when I begin to make a record, I look back and look at all the songs I’ve written over that period of time and I try

to pull the best ones out. “I try and think of my fans, and also think of it from an ‘onstage’ perspective. You learn lessons from the stage – what fans respond to and what they don’t.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

ZOMBIE BAIT – The second annual Best Body Fitness Zombie Run took place in Sylvan Lake this past weekend. Runner Tiffany Talbot was among those who tried to guard their flags from the Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express volunteer zombies along the course.

Don’t ignore this amazing video on Vitamin C I’ve just sent an e-mail to my children urging them to watch an informative video and telling them to never forget what they’ve seen. The video was produced in New Zealand for 60 Minutes. It demonstrates the incompetence and arrogance of some physicians. A man’s life was at stake and close to ending. But fortunately, his son knew more than his doctors. Allan Smith, a 57-yearold New Zealand farmer, was stricken with a form of the swine flu virus. He was desperately ill, unconscious and near death. His doctors wanted to remove lifesupport technology. But his son refused. He pleaded that

his father be given large amounts of intravenous Vitamin C. The doctors were reluctant, but agreed only after the family brought in their attorney.

Dr. Gifford

JONES The video shows X-rays of Smith’s clogged lungs clearing after receiving Vitamin C. He gained consciousness and recovered. One would have thought that Smith’s

escape from the jaws of death would have made an imprint on the minds of his physicians. But it never penetrated their skulls. One doctor argued the prescribed drugs worked, when they had obviously failed. Nor could he defend the fact the doctors were about to let Smith die. He was unaware that in 1950 Dr. Frederick Klenner, a North Carolina doctor, proved high doses of intravenous Vitamin C could cure polio, measles, encephalitis and other viral diseases. For the last couple of years I’ve written about Medi-C Plus, a powder containing high doses of Vitamin

C and lysine. This vitamin has shown it can prevent, but also reverse, atherosclerosis blockage in coronary arteries and prevent heart attack and stroke. Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling explained years ago animals make Vitamin C and humans do not. Vitamin C manufactures collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, and a lack of it triggers heart attacks. Now, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has proven by arterial photographs this combination restores blocked vessels to normal. Photos don’t lie. So what has happened with this scientific finding?

It continues to collect dust, while cardiologists who should know better continue to ignore this revolutionary discovery. So do distinguished medical journals. For instance, I have asked the Editors of the Canadian Medical Association Journal to release this information to Canadian doctors. But my request goes unanswered. What happened in New Zealand is happening here. But new ideas in medicine have always found deaf ears. Today doctors have been so brainwashed by pharmaceutical dollars they blindly accept that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to

prevent heart attacks. They turn a blind eye to an inexpensive, safe and effective remedy like Medi-C Plus to eliminate coronary attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. I’ve been subjected before to criticism when tackling controversial issues. But in recent months I’ve visited several parts of Canada, talking about this discovery. I’ve written about Medi-C Plus in my column and been on radio and TV. But, unlike other issues, no doctor has challenged this research! The fact is it cannot be challenged.

It’s okay to indulge every once in a while With Halloween coming up there are many factors to consider as a parent, and although I have a few years to go before my little guy goes out - it does make me think. Last year I wrote an article about whether or not to have all that candy at once, or spread it out. You can still read it here: h t t p : / / w w w. p e r s o n altrainersylvanlake.

Scott

McDERMOTT com/?p=1403. We just finished holding our second annual Zombie Run here in Sylvan Lake, as

ARE YOU SCARED OF WHAT MAY BE

a fundraiser for local high school teams. We had a lot of kids out as zombies and they had so much fun running around scaring the runners. We ordered pizza and drinks for the volunteers and one thing that struck me this year was how fast we ran out of food and had to order more. We ordered enough pizza for 240 people.

We had 200 volunteers, and we ran out of food. Why? Fresh air and exercise - those kids were running around for all they were worth, for nearly four hours, and they got hungry. For Halloween I see lots of parents now that drive their kids house to house, and I find that sad. When I was a kid - we walked all night until our pillowcase was full, and sometimes we came home, emptied it and went out again. From a nutrition standpoint - not great, but from an exercise point of view fantastic! I know that things have changed they say, and that we need to be cautious and things were safer back 30 years ago, but still, I say let ‘em walk! In fact, I love to

IN YOUR BASEMENT & ATTIC?

Don’t be haunted by the amount of household garbage you produce –

see the parents that walk with them. Sure, all that sugar and junk food isn’t great, but it is fun, and it is part of being a kid in my opinion, and if you make the kids (and parents) walk several kms, at least they are burning fuel, and less likely to be overweight in life. Thirty one per cent of Canadians aged five to 17 are overweight or obese, Statistics Canada found in the latest studies, as reported on CBC. Reading that, one could be tempted to cancel Halloween, but I think that would be a mistake. I think that teaching kids about proper nutrition on a regular basis, and that once in a while, we indulge - creates a life of balance. Back 50 years ago, kids only got sugary junk food

for the big events - Christmas, Easter, your birthday and Halloween. That isn’t going to ruin anybody, but our problem is multiple layers now. Junk food is everywhere, sugar can be eaten every day without limits, and instead of exercising all the time, we have improved school bus service. We drive everywhere and watch TV, computer or tablet screens all day. We need to move our bodies - and so I vote that we have a great Halloween, and that we all walk as far as we can to earn that candy. Then have a day or so to eat it, toss the rest out, and eat healthy food until Christmas. Scott McDermott is a personal trainer and owner of Best Body Fitness in Sylvan Lake.

Head coach hopes to take team to higher level BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express His resume speaks volumes about what he brings to the court as a coach but Ben Julius has more to offer the Olds Broncos men’s basketball program than a line on the page which shows a stint in the NBA. He worked as a video coach for the Orlando Magic and says that allowed him some insight into what coaches at that level of the game are thinking. “Being in coaches’ meetings, just kind of being a sponge and soaking in everything they said allowed me to formulate a really strong philosophy built on hard work and execution,” he said. He also will draw upon that professional experience from a tactical standpoint when it comes to game planning for the teams in the ACAC. “Basketball is basketball and x’s and o’s are x’s and o’s and teaching the game is teaching the game and so I take from my experience there to be able to deal with an elite athlete from a mental standpoint.” Julius spent one year with NAIT and two with Medicine Hat College where he turned around that program, getting the school ranked in basketball for the first time ever after only two years so he is no stranger to the league or to success. “I know how to get guys playing the way they should be playing for this league so we’re excited to get going.” He is in his first year as the Broncos’ head coach and has seen this team play in a couple of exhibition tournaments to this point as they prepare for the start of the ACAC season. “There’s been a lot of maturation and a lot of learning in those games and we get better every quarter of every game which is always nice to see.” One player the coach will rely

upon during the season is veteran power forward Colton Short whom the coach feels has the ability to be one of the top players in the league. “It’s very exciting to watch him play as he’s got many talents on the floor,” he said. Julius takes over a team which posted just five wins last season

but he feels there is talent on this team which can take it to another level which in his view would be a spot in the postseason. “I think that’s a goal that we have. I’m not sure how many wins that’s going to take but if we can get better from game to game, from quarter to quarter, from practice to practice then to

me that’s a successful season,” he said “If we can come out and compete at a high level every game then I will be happy.” Julius says all this depends on the effort his team gives during those games as he believes they won’t be blowing any teams out this year but he honestly feels the Broncos will outwork their op-

ponent each night to get the wins needed for a playoff appearance. “I’m hoping teams are already counting us out. “I want to go into other teams’ gyms and I want them to already count the ‘W’ on their calendar and come in there and we shock them.”’ sports@reddeerexpress.com

FAST PACED – The Red Deer Rebels lost against the Calgary Hitmen 5-2 Saturday night in a tough game. Rebels’ right wing Dominik Volek managed Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express to sneak past Hitmen’s left wing Zane Jones to score one of the two goals.

Curling season underway at RDC BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express It’s been an up and down season for the curling teams at Red Deer College and the season essentially hasn’t even started. In fact, there was a point back in May where the curling program at RDC was not going to hit the ice at all due to a financial issue but the money was found through the Athletic Leadership Fund. “They told us if we could find money to put into that for curling we would be allowed to continue with the curling team,” said head coach Brad Hamilton. “Right now it’s (funding ) that is kind of a yearly thing. We found some outside money that, a person who wishes to remain anonymous, they committed to this year and said they’d look at it on a yearto-year basis.” The program will have a somewhat different look in spite of a very encouraging introduction meeting earlier this year where 18 women and 11 men showed up but at this point with tryouts underway there are only five men and eight ladies so the college will ice a men’s and ladies’ team but no mixed squad this year, he said. Hamilton added the number drop off wasn’t from anyone being cut but more

to the point of students realizing the commitment to the sport, school work and a job. This past weekend at the Pidherney Centre in Red Deer the college sent three teams to take part in the Elks Junior Curling Bonspiel where the players would try to earn a spot on the teams and get to know each other before heading into the ACAC season. “We haven’t totally decided who is skipping the men’s team this year so we had two guys skipping two different teams this weekend.” There are only three returnees to the curling teams this year. Jeff Ireland who was the mixed team’s lead last season along with women’s team veterans Kaitlyn Sherrer and Julie Primrose. Hamilton feels there is some very good talent to choose from on the women’s side of the group, expecting there will be no problem fielding a strong team and there are four very good players taking to the ice for men’s team as well, he said. “The men are going to have a learning curve and the women with the skip and third back should be right in the mix this year,” he said about the college’s chances in the very competitive ACAC league. sports@reddeerexpress.com

A look at Bobby Orr’s legacy Robert Gordon Orr. The name itself reeks of hockey royalty and conjures up images of end to end rushes, pinpoint passes, bull’s eye slapshots and the most famous knees in all of hockey.

JIM

CLAGGETT He is also one of the most respected athletes in professional sport and carries as much weight in the private sector as he did when playing for the Boston Bruins. When the debate about who is the best to play the game is based on statistics alone Orr is always at or near the top with Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. When you figure in the fact he was a defenceman playing 657 games, tallying 915 points with 270 of those being goals Bobby Orr is right there. Now factor in six straight seasons with 100 points or more, one season with 46 goals, another with 139 overall points and Orr inches closer to the top rung of that ladder.

ROYAL LEGACY CONTINUES... THE

RDC KINGS & QUEENS ATHLETICS SEASON 2013|14

The ace card for this debate is what Orr has done off the ice and I’m not talking about the charity aspect because all the others in the argument do plenty to help their causes. I’m talking about when Orr talks about the game itself and it’s right then when people sit-up, take notice and really hear from someone who has no hidden agenda about the sport which gave him everything and also took it away in some respects (see Mr. Alan Eagleson). Orr recently had a one-on-one with the People’s Network anchor Peter Mansbridge and laid out a couple of points as smoothly as he would send a pass to a teammate. It was never about how the game was “better” back when he played or this version of hockey is inferior because of the paycheques. He spoke about the fabric of the game when it comes to what hockey at any level should be about. Fun. He has just released a book on his life and for a very private man to expose himself to the armchair critics out there it was a brave move but not surprising for a man of his strength. If you have a chance look for the interview with Mansbridge and grab a copy of the book. sports@reddeerexpress.com

A closer look at brand name products There is a lot of branding out there. Companies and people strive to show us who they are on a daily basis. I find it very interesting that there are more and more ‘brands’ on people’s vehicles, on facebook and in their personal attire. People want us to know who they are, they fervently display their stick figure kids and pets and support of brand names and logos. Unless you are in the design business, it is extremely difficult to know what the go-to or cool name brand is in furniture fabric and flooring. It’s easy to see that driving a Lexus is cooler than driving a Kia and that carrying a Prada bag will get you more reaction than a no name purse but what about name branding in home design? Many manufacturers have tried but I haven’t seen lasting success in name branding. Years ago Liz Claiborne added her name to an exclusive line of carpets

Kim

MECKLER which only lasted a few seasons. One client said to me “If I’m paying for a designer carpet, the logo should be on the top not the backing.” The key to successful branding I believe is the notoriety of the brand. People recognize colours and shapes of logos long before they even read the fine print. How many of us can spot a Mercedes from dozens of feet away just by the universally recognized logo? This is not as easily recognized in home design and even though designers like Nate Berkus and Brian Gluckstein have successfully marketed home interior

products, you still may not recognize the items when they are present in some ones home. What is a homeowner to do? Without recognizable designer brands, how do you make your interior distinctive and the coolest it can be? Most people cannot tell the difference between a $5 hardwood and a $10 hardwood and frankly, many people do not care. If the colour and style is appropriate then the manufacturer (or brand) does not seem to matter. This can be difficult for those of us selling higher end products, it is hard to show people the value in products which seem to have no branding if branding that doesn’t matter. The trick to finding the right brand in interior home design is to research warranties and make decisions on which product fits your lifestyle. Is Canadian manufacturing important to you? How about fair trade and decent wages for overseas workers? It

may not be about branding or recognizable logos but to have a product in your home that makes you proud is very important. How and where a product is manufactured is as important as the brand it is labeled with, just as it is important to know where your food is grown and flown from. You won’t be bragging to your friends ‘come and see my new Mirage hardwood floor’ anytime soon. You are more likely to invite friends to come and see your beautiful charcoal grey floors – but maybe you can have a hardwood with a Canadian story or a carpet that was grown by an adorable New Zealand sheep farmer. That sort of branding tells a better and more compelling story and weaves into the complete fabric of your home far better than any logo or name brand.

The ins and outs of porting your mortgage Selling your current home and moving into a new one can be stressful enough, let alone worrying about your current mort-

gage and whether you’re able to carry it over to your new home. Porting enables you to move to another property

without having to lose your existing interest rate, mortgage balance and term. And, better yet, the ability to port also saves you

money by avoiding early discharge penalties. It’s important to note, however, that not all mortgages are portable. When it comes to fixed-rate mortgage products, you usually have a portability option. Lenders often use a “blended” system where your current mortgage rate stays the same on the mortgage amount ported over to the new property and the new balance is calculated using the current interest rate. With variable-rate mortgages, on the other hand, porting is usually not available. As such, upon breaking your existing mortgage, a three-month interest penalty will be charged. This charge may or may not be

reimbursed with your new mortgage. Another important factor is, will you qualify with that lender and the mortgage insurer again. For example, if you’ve been doing the same type of position for many consecutive years, and then become self-employed doing the same thing it doesn’t mean that you’ll qualify easily. There are instances where exceptions can be made, but that all depends on the lenders’ guidelines. Most often these are questions that cannot be answered without full documentation upfront. To make it less stressful, be prepared and organized with your mortgage professionals’ requests. While porting typically ensures no penalty will be charged when you sell your existing property and buy a new one, some conditions that may apply include: Some lenders allow you to port your mortgage, but your sale and purchase have to happen on the same day. Other lenders offer

a week to do this, some a month, and others up to three months. Some lenders don’t allow a changed term or force you into a longer term as part of agreeing to port your mortgage. Some lenders will, in fact, reimburse your entire penalty whether you’re a fixed or variable borrower if you simply get a new mortgage with the same lender replacing the one being discharged. Additionally, some lenders will even allow you to move into a brand new term of your choice and start fresh. There are instances where it’s better to pay a penalty at the time of selling and get into a new term at a brand new rate that could save back your penalty over the course of the new term. As always, if you have any questions about mortgage portability or your mortgage in general, I’m here to help! Jean-Guy Turcotte is a Mortgage Professional with www. regionalmortgage.ca.

ductive workforce. Whether you are one of those lucky work-from-home folks or if you run your own business, here are a few little quick tips to make sure your workspace leads you to success. The comfort of your own home can lend a more casual environment, but it’s imperative to hold up a professional appearance when working from home. Background noise when on a conference call or virtual meeting is not acceptable. Having a designated work space that is separate from your home space will help to balance work and your personal life. Soundproofing, as well, is an excellent solution, especially if you need to tune out a barking dog or squealing children. Sound dampening is becoming a requirement for modern families, so if you have the opportunity to reinsulate your home or office space, sound-proofing insulation is an excellent choice. Stone wool insulation, for example, is a top choice for professional recording studios. This material is an excellent acoustic barrier that actually absorbs the sound. For homeowners, retailers point

to a performance tested product called Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound mineral wool insulation. It provides higher sound absorption against low frequency (bass) ranges that other types of insulation struggle to block. Investing in the right home office equipment is another key to success. Consider your office needs when purchasing equipment. Don’t get caught up in the décor, but focus on the functionality. A good desk with adequate storage is necessary, as well as a separate phone system (from your home) and updated computer equipment and software. Ensure you have everything you would have in a business office. Establishing office hours will help to keep you on track. Setting boundaries so family and friends don’t interrupt you will keep you on point and productive. But don’t forget to network. Working from home can be isolating, so make sure you make time to meet face-to-face with colleagues or clients. This balance will make the whole “working from home” a rewarding experience. www.newscanada.com
