Newly-elected mayor settles into role Tara Veer said the City of Red Deer is ‘in for a great four years’ BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express
N
early one month after the municipal election, newly-elected Mayor Tara Veer is settling into her new
role. “It’s still surreal and I’m still just so grateful to be in this position and it’s a new challenge. But it doesn’t feel foreign to me,” she said, during a recent chat in the mayor’s office at City Hall. “I’ve really jumped in with two feet and have to the best of my ability embraced every opportunity that has come my way. “I still wake up every single morning in absolute gratitude to Red Deerians for giving me this opportunity to serve them.” Veer’s love of politics was sparked at a young age and her family has been involved in politics for a long time as well. “My grandfather on my mom’s side and I have uncles on both sides of the family that have been mayors in different towns,” she said. “I have a lifelong love of politics and I think that has been instilled in me because my family has always paid attention to public matters. It’s in my DNA.” Veer was first elected to council in 2004 at the age of 26, now at the age of 35, she is the City’s youngest mayor ever. “I think it poses opportunities. Age has never been an issue for me. I understand for some members of the public that they might look at my age with some skepticism and so for those people I recognize I will need to win them over through my work ethic and my work in the community,” she said. “But I think generally speaking I feel as though I have a mandate from the public.” As for the City’s new council, Veer said she sees them as a strong team. “This council has really hit the ground running and I’m really pleased we have a four-year mandate. It takes time for council to get to know each other and to navigate through the initial orientation,” she said. “In the previous three-year term you would spend six months to a year trying to navigate the new world, your second year was a very productive year in terms of making a difference on the public agenda, and by the third year you could sense that people were gearing up for an election campaign so sometimes that shifts the manner in which we make decisions.” She added the new four-year term is in the best interest of the public. “I think it exponentially grows the productive period that we’ll see from a council and it gives us an opportunity to make a substantial difference on a few key issues
NEW POST - Tara Veer stands in her City Hall office while discussing her new role in the mayor’s chair. from start to finish that the public will ultimately measure us against in upcoming elections.” As far as council as a whole, Veer said members are taking time to get to know one another and to figure out where everyone fits on the team. “We’ve been working on connecting personally and talking about what we heard during the campaign and where we are at individually. We are talking about what some of the priorities we have as individual councillors are and then putting that together and figuring out where we go collectively from here,” she said. “One of the challenges we are faced with
is we campaign and are elected as individuals based on different campaign commitments and often competing philosophies and yet we find ourselves at the same table and need to be able to move the community forward and so we need to stay true to those commitments and honour those commitments to our public as individuals, but we need to do it within that collective will of council as a whole.” In terms of the incumbents who were reelected last month including Councillors Buck Buchanan, Paul Harris, Lynne Mulder, Dianne Wyntjes and Frank Wong, Veer said although they have all sat at the table for many years and have all gained expe-
Erin Fawcett/Red Deer Express
rience they are learning to work together again with the new council members. “Incumbents are new within a new council and a new team in terms of how we will fit in and what roles we’ll play. So even though there are incumbents, in many respects it is a new day.” As for the new councillors including Lawrence Lee, Ken Johnston and Tanya Handley, Veer said they are all settling in well. “We had our first meeting and I was very proud of our community for putting them there (on council). “Red Deer’s in for a great four years.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Christmas Bureau gears up for holiday season BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express The Red Deer Christmas Bureau is looking for support from citizens this holiday season to help ensure that all local families have something under the tree. Donation bins will be distributed throughout the community this week and can be found in local malls. “We are always looking for donations. It’s slowly trickling in right now but as soon as the toy boxes go out to the malls then we should start to see donations pick up,” said Teresa Kutynec, president at the
Red Deer Christmas Bureau. “We do have a bit of carry-over from last year that gets us started but our shoppers start shopping on the 25th of November, so we need stuff before the so-called Christmas season starts.” With the generosity of Red Deerians, the Christmas Bureau helped 1,100 children and also handed out 950 hampers to families last year. Hampers for families can include a variety of items such as a 12 lb turkey, ham, 5 lbs of potatoes, four litres of milk, cereal, pancake mix, syrup, spaghetti and spaghetti sauce, two cans of vegetables, some
fruit and Jell-O, among others. “We purchase those hampers through the donation money that people give us because it is good for quality control and everyone gets the same thing.”
‘WE ARE ALSO 100 PER CENT VOLUNTEER-BASED SO ALL OF MONEY GOES INTO THE COMMUNITY.’ TERESA KUTYNEC Officials are expecting to help around the same number of families this year, possibly even a little more. “We’re wondering if due to the fact of the flooding in High River and Calgary (earlier this year), if we’ll feel some of that – probably through a little bit of a lack of donations because so many people have given to the victims of the flooding, which is great,” she said. Any donations are welcome, but Kutynec said some good ideas include sporting goods like hockey sticks and skateboards, any type of electronics from clock radios to iPod Shuffles to small boom box stereos. “We also always are looking for baby stuff because we do up baskets for women
who are either ready to deliver or have a newborn,” she said. “We have a lady who knits blankets for us and then we put sleepers, diapers and bottles in them. Whatever we get donated, we make up in the basket.” Kutynec added monetary donations are also accepted and officials with the organization will purchase items they are lacking to give to families. Tax receipts are also available for any donations over $20. She encourages Red Deerians to donate because the donations stay in the community. “We only service Red Deer, Red Deer County, Springbrook and Penhold,” she said. “We are also 100 per cent volunteer-based so all of money goes into the community. Of course we always have overhead like everyone else, but we have terrific volunteers and we’re always looking for more.” For more information visit www.reddeerchristmasbureau.cfsites.org or call 403-347-2210. The Christmas Bureau is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. They are located at 15, 7428-49 Ave. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Festival of Trees set to kick off next week BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express It’s looking a lot like Christmas and it couldn’t have happened at a better time for all of those working hard on the 20th anniversary of the Festival of Trees. ‘Festival Week’ kicks off on Nov. 16 with Festival Lights the Night and the Santa Claus Parade at 4 p.m. at City Hall Park. The Festival of Trees will be open Nov. 22 and Nov. 23 from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Nov. 24 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Westerner Park. “The excitement is building and we have our fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate this weekend (for the Festival Lights the Night and Santa Claus Parade),” said Alaine Martin, project officer for the Regional Health Foundation. There are still limited tickets available for three special events that will take place during the Festival of Trees. Cirque de Noel takes place on Nov. 21 beginning at 7 p.m. This event is reserved for guests over 18 years of age. The Festival Business Lunch will take place Nov. 22. Attendants will hear a presentation by special guest Frank O’Dea, one of the founding CEOs of Second Cup. The other event which still has seating available is ‘Tis the Season Fashion Luncheon on Nov. 23. Tickets for all of these events can be purchased online at www.tickemaster.ca, or by phone at 1-855-985-5000. Volunteers are also still needed to help
out at the Festival. Anyone looking to help out can check out www.reddeerfestivaloftrees.ca, or call the ‘volunteer hotline’ at 587-876-0851 or the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation at 403-343-4773. Martin added being the 20th anniversary of the Festival, there will be some special things planned including an extra light show during the Festival Lights the Night and Santa Claus Parade and a memory walk of trees from the last 20 years. Proceeds raised from the 2013 Festival of Trees will go towards upgrading equipment and technology for Diagnostic Imaging, Urology and the operating room. Diagnostic Imaging and Urology will work in collaboration to purchase and install a new imaging unit in the operating room in Red Deer Regional Hospital. The urology imaging equipment will assist the urologist with visualization of the urinary tracts of males and females and the reproductive system of males. When not in use for imaging, the equipment will be used for prostate surgeries, stent insertions and procedures that requires access to the bladder in a surgical environment. Meanwhile, Martin encourages Central Albertans to take in the Festival of Trees. “It’s really a celebration of the time of year – the festive season is upon us and it’s a great way to raise money for something that benefits everyone through the Red Deer Regional Hospital.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

OPINION Marking Movember As men around the world have begun to grow their moustaches as ‘Movember’ kicked off earlier this month, it’s a reminder of what a terrific cause this really is both as a fundraiser and an awarenessbuilder. Local businesses are also getting behind the cause with many encouraging their male staff and clients to help raise money for prostate cancer research as well. The Movember movement was launched back in 2003 by some guys in Australia who wanted to bring back the moustache into fashion while raising money for prostate cancer research. There are now formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and Ireland. People around the world have since taken up the cause, and today Movember is truly an international fundraising success. According to the web site Movember and Sons, the campaign is also serving as an effective ‘awareness-building’ tool. According to Movember Canada, each year around 23,600 new cases are diagnosed in Canada and close to 4,000 Canadian men die of the disease every year. Statistics show that one in seven men will develop prostate cancer during his lifetime and one in 28 will die of it. A man dies from prostate cancer every
22 minutes. While there are cases of prostate cancer showing up in younger men, it is recommended that men begin an annual screening at age 50 and at age 40 if there is a family history. As for the campaign, last year, globally, 1,127,152 people took part in Movember and raised $146.6 million. In Canada, 247,441 participants raised $42.6 million. Besides fundraising for prostate cancer research, Movember representatives say they will also continue to work to change habits and attitudes men have about their health and to educate men about the health risks they face. While there are cases of prostate cancer showing up in younger men, it is recommended that men begin an annual screening at age 50 and at age 40 if there is a family history. This is a campaign that has really taken off world-wide, not only with men taking part but women can get involved by becoming a ‘Mo Sista’. Mo Sistas not only help to fundraise for the cause as well, but they also work to build awareness regarding prostate cancer and encourage the ‘Mo Bros’ in their lives to get checked. It’s great to see this kind of support, and it’s a unique initiative that everyone can get behind. For more information, check out ca.movember.com.
A giving community is ultimately a fulfilled community We all have different ways of giving or giving back. Most of us share our hard-earned dollars to charity, and some of us devote our time to causes that matter to us dearly.
Kristine
BUGAYONG We share our time, our expertise in order for others to enjoy a better quality of life. Most of us do acts of kindness—to our family, our friends, co-workers or even strangers. Giving or giving back is second nature to most of us. In fact, when asked what one
would do if they suddenly become wealthy, the most common answer is “To give to charity”. We also have different reasons to give. One of the reasons we give back is to express gratitude and appreciation for benefits received elsewhere, to ‘pay it forward’. We give to say ‘thank you’ for the kindness that has come our way. All of us, whatever the intention might be, give out of the goodness of our hearts. Charity, philanthropy or generosity is never forced, never imposed. Here in our community, the spirit of giving is alive and well. Central Albertans have proven time and time again, that when someone is in need, whether in our own backyard or on distant shores, we are always ready to extend a hand and

to share whatever we have. Recent events, such as the floods in southern Alberta this year have shown the capacity of our community to give and to reach out. Giving is an essential component of community building. And community building is what the Red Deer & District Community Foundation is all about. The Community Foundation is an institution whose sole mandate is to strengthen the quality of life of the community it serves by facilitating philanthropy. It is a steward of people’s charitable gifts - serving as a vehicle for grateful citizens to demonstrate their vision beyond their lifetime by establishing funds, endowed and non- endowed. Since 1989, we have been entrusted with over 100
funds that respond to different causes, from our donors, families and individuals who have decided they will make an impact in the community they belonged to and cared for deeply, now and even beyond their lifetimes. It is a locally based grant-maker - providing much needed resources to ALL sectors, from arts and culture, the environment, health and wellness and learning to social justice issues by providing muchneeded support to charitable organizations in Central Alberta. Over the last 24 years, the Community Foundation has granted out more than $3,000,000 to our local charities. It also assists in leveraging resources that help our charities fulfill their mandate. It is also front and cen-

ter in community leadership - making sure that issues and concerns of area residents are put forward and addressed in a holistic and collaborative fashion. Since 2008, the Community Foundation provided a ‘home’ for the coordinator for the EveryOne’s Home Leadership Model. We have taken on the task of convening the community and engaging different sectors in finding ways to get to our goal of ending homelessness in Red Deer. Also, over the last six years, 75 women have been honoured for showing exemplary and inspiring leadership through the Women of Excellence Awards. November 15th is National Philanthropy Day, celebrated annually around the world in recognition of the impact of philanthropy on
our global community and our community’s quality of life. This day is a perfect opportunity to highlight the importance of giving and what the community has achieved because of this. The Community Foundation invites Central Alberta to celebrate this day dedicated to honor valuable contributions in building community. The Community Foundation would also like to encourage everyone to continue to give, continue to engage, continue to care and share. Join us, as we help shape a smart and caring community and nation for our generation and generations to come.

Compost to keep up with the Joneses The City of Red Deer is working to make backyard composting the norm, not the exception. The City is thanking the latest slate of participants in the second phase of the Composting at Home program in a series of social media posts, ads, and posters. The Compost & Keep up with the Joneses (and the Lunneys, the Kenworthys, and the Latunskis) campaign recognizes local families who are currently enrolled in the program and encourages others in the community to join them. “Many families think they’re too busy to
stir a compost bin or throw scraps in their kitchen catchers, but if these everyday families can find the time, anyone can,” said Lauren Maris, environmental program specialist. “We want Red Deerians to realize that backyard composting is a normal, easy and desirable thing to do for our community and our environment.” More than 200 households signed up this spring to participate in Composting at Home, filling the City program in just 55 hours. The initiative equips participants with the compost bin, tools, training
workshop, learning resources, and access to support and expertise to start and follow through with composting in their own backyard. After launching in March 2012, the first year of the Composting at Home program trained 253 households, and 70% continued to actively compost one year later. The first group’s efforts have diverted approximately 20 tonnes of organic waste from the landfill. Scheduled for the spring of 2014, the third year of the program aims to once again register another 200 households to
start backyard composting. The City will remind interested residents at that time. Information on Composting at Home and a report on the first year of the program can be found at www. reddeer.ca/composting. As directed by the City’s Environmental Master Plan, the Composting at Home program is designed to reduce the amount of waste ending up in the landfill. Participants produce free, healthy compost for their yards and gardens while reducing their household waste by one-third. - Weber

Executive Director Angie-Marie Garcia and Sharon Poteet, director of communications, dropped off 16 blankets recently to the Ronald McDonald House. These 16 blankets account for a small percentage of the 570 blankets the pair has hand quilted and distributed to those in need. The project began when Garcia, who was originally a part of Project Linus (a group that distributes blankets), saw a need to do more than just distribute the blankets. She saw that the women and children in need they were helping needed more than blankets, just as she once did. When Garcia arrived in Red Deer at the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter after leaving an abusive relationship in Saskatchewan, she had nothing but the clothes on her back. It was here that the Project Linus gave her a blanket for her and her son. To have nothing and be given this blanket meant more to Garcia than she

This gift led her to join Project Linus and as she says “Begin to pay it forward”. While Project Linus deals only with hand made blankets, the Patchwork Angels distribute blankets, hooded sweatshirts to the youth at the shelter downtown, as well as Christmas presents to those at the
youth shelter. Their list of clients includes the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter, Red Deer Humane Society, Julietta’s Place, Berachah Place, Loaves and Fishes, Red Deer Hospital Children’s Ward and the Red Deer Ronald McDonald House. Poteet says that she believes people often don’t

take the time to look around them and see how many people are in need in their own communities. “People look at the news and see broadcasts of people all over the world who are in desperate need of help,” said Poteet. “But what the news doesn’t show is how many people are in need in our own backyard.” jswan@reddeerexpress.com

Snow Fest set for this weekend at the Westerner BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express The fourth annual Red Deer Snow Fest will be taking place this weekend at Westerner Park’s Agricentre East. Snow Fest, which has been described as Central Alberta’s largest snow show, attracts an audience from across western Canada to take part in the live Jib Jam snowboard contest, freestyle ski demo and the ski and snowboard swap. Snow Fest organizers, Chris Sereda and Tim Nelson, started the event after having both owned their own skate and snow shops and seeing the need to expand the snow sport community in Red Deer. “We just saw a need for a show to support our ski and snowboard industry,” said Nelson. “We would go to Calgary and Edmonton and see how big the shows were and how great for the community they were so we decided we wanted to try to provide something like that for Red Deer. It really took off.” While the event may have only started four years ago, Sereda explained that the exponential growth Snow Fest has experienced is due to their large vendor attendance and support from the community. “For the public it’s great because there will be 19 stores from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and B.C. So for the riders it means they can get all of their gear for the year in one place.” Not only can riders buy new gear from the vast array of
‘FOR THE PUBLIC IT’S GREAT BECAUSE THERE WILL BE 19 STORES FROM ALBERTA, SASKATCHEWAN, AND B.C.’ TIM NELSON vendors, but the ski and snowboard swap meet means that they can bring in gear on Friday from 4 to 9 p.m. and have it professionally appraised. “On Sunday you can come and pick up your money for the sale or your gear if it hasn’t sold,” said Nelson. “If you’re new to the sport then you can come get a set of used skis or a snowboard to learn with.” The indoor snow show’s board contest is planned to be bigger and better than ever before this year, they added.
Sereda and Nelson have also invited professional riders that include Edmonton’s Oil Country crew, pro riders from Calgary as well as local riders including Jaden Duggan from the Allrose snow team. The snow park will be set up in the middle of the event, which Sereda says creates an unbeatable atmosphere and a sort of ‘snow party’. “Some of these guys will be straight from the videos that kids are watching now,” said Nelson. “Every year it’s also gotten bigger and it makes it a really fun event.” Tickets are available in advance at Allrose as well as at the doors of the event for $5. Meanwhile, Saturday’s hours for the event go from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. and they carry into Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

You suffer and have repeatedly seen doctors in the past few days, weeks and months because of your constant pain. If you have, you’ve likely received this advice: pain drugs or physiotherapy or… both. If those two don’t help, you are then told: “You’ll have to learn to live with your pain or have surgery.” I don’t know about you . . . but neither of these options sound appealing to me. You’ve been to your chiropractor. They did everything they could. You’ve had acupuncture. Nothing has helped. 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 can’t enjoy your life. In fact, it’s hard to 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 of¿ce and cheap way to get Tuick relief as well as long term freedom from pain, suffering and loss of mobility? There is another way. Keep reading!

COURT BRIEFS BAIL HEARING SET OVER IN IMPAIRED DRIVING CHARGE A young man who is facing charges after a crash earlier this month that left one man dead will appear in Red Deer Provincial Court today. Tyler James Wilson, 18, of Brooks, is set to appear in court this afternoon for judicial release and election. His bail hearing was held over from Nov. 6. Court heard last week that his family, who was present in the courtroom during his first appearance, is expected to hire Lorne Goddard to represent Wilson. Wilson was initially charged with impaired driving causing death, which was withdrawn on his second appearance in court last Wednesday. He is now charged with one count of impaired driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing death.
by Erin Fawcett On Nov. 2 at 3:30 a.m., the Red Deer City RCMP and Red Deer Emergency Services were dispatched to a motor vehicle collision at the intersection of 30th Ave. and 32nd St. The investigation has revealed that an Alberta Gold Taxi was stopped at the intersection facing northbound when a truck traveling north rear-ended the taxi. At the time the taxi was under hire and had a sole occupant in the rear passenger seat. The collision caused extensive damage on impact to the taxicab and the truck rolled onto its side blocking the intersection. The passenger of the taxi succumbed to his injuries on scene and the driver was transported to the Red Deer Regional Hospital where was treated for serious injury. The driver of the truck was also transported to the hospital where he was treated as well. The passenger of the taxicab has been identified as Jonathon David Wood, 33, of Red Deer. A funeral service was held

Fertig pleads guilty to sex assault BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express A former teacher and local businessman has pleaded guilty to sexual assault. The trial of Warren Fertig, 72, was set to be held in Red Deer court last week, but instead, on the first day of the trial, court heard that a resolution had been reached and there was no need to proceed with trial. On Friday, Fertig pleaded guilty to one count of sexual intercourse without consent. The Red Deer businessman was initially charged in September 2011 with one count of rape, one count of sexual intercourse with a female under the age of 14 and one count of sexual intercourse with a
female between the age of 14 and 16. These charges stem from May 2010 when Red Deer RCMP initiated an investigation into a historic sexual assault after receiving a complaint. The other two charges will be spoken to on Jan. 17 when Fertig will return to court for sentencing. It is alleged Fertig, who was a teacher at Riverglen School at the time, had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student between 1975 and 1977. The student was 12-yearsold when the relationship started and 15 when it ended. The victim cannot be named due to a publication ban but was in court during last Friday’s proceedings. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

POLICE BRIEFS RCMP SEARCH FOR DRUGS IN TWO HOMES Four men are in custody after RCMP recently executed search warrants in two homes. On Nov. 8th, Red Deer City RCMP General Investigation Section executed warrants to search dwelling houses in Red Deer and Innisfail. With the assistance of the “Kâ€? Division Emergency Response Team, Red Deer City Police Dog Services and Red Deer City Community Response Unit, two residences were entered and searched for drugs. Four adult males have been arrested and are currently in police custody. No one was injured in these arrests. Police located a signiďŹ cant quantity of controlled substances, including methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana. A number of ďŹ rearms, including several handguns, have also been located and seized by police. A large sum of Canadian currency was recovered during the investigation.

Fire crews were released from the scene shortly after 10 a.m. “The occupant of the home did the absolute right thing by keeping the children safe and calling 911,� said Pendergast.
MAN CHARGED WITH ARSON One of the occupants of a mobile home that was severely damaged in a ďŹ re last week in Mustang Acres has been charged with arson. On Nov. 4th shortly after 2 p.m. the Red Deer Fire Department responded to a report of a ďŹ re in Mustang Acres.

A home in Penhold has been left with minor damage after an electrical incident. On Nov. 7 at 9:20 a.m. Penhold Fire Department crews responded to a power pole incident on Bouteiller Cl.

There was the smell of smoke and electrical arcing in the home. “There were no injuries and there was some minor electrical damage to the home,â€? said Jim Pendergast, Penhold ďŹ re chief. “Crews went in and checked all the outlets and the electrical panel used a thermal imaging camera which can detect hot spots even inside walls and electrical equipment.â€?

The Old Armouries – a historic City landmark Another Remembrance Day has just passed. Once again the community has paused to remember all those who served and all those who lost their lives during times of war and during peace-keeping missions. However, one prominent landmark from Red Deer’s military past is now often overlooked. This is the old Red Deer Armouries, which was built 100 years ago in 1913 on Mann (49) St. Once the centre of military activity in Central Alberta, the building is now used as the Children’s’ Section of the Red Deer Public Library.
The roots of the Armouries go back to the early part of the last century. In 1907, the Red Deer’s first militia unit, a troop of the 15 Light Horse, was formed. The creation of a permanent presence for the militia in Red Deer was greeted with great enthusiasm. The troop grew so rapidly that it was soon expanded into the Red Deer Independent Squadron of the 15 Light Horse. As new enlistments continued to rise, the squadron was split into two with one unit continuing to be centred in Red Deer and the second being organized at Pine Lake. Shortly thereaf-
ter, a third troop was added at Alix. Interest in the mounted rifles continued to grow so strongly that the militia in the region was reorganized in 1913 into the 35 Central Alberta Horse. Red Deer was designated as the regimental headquarters. Consequently, in May 1913, the federal government announced the construction of a substantial armouries in the city. City council offered two lots to the federal military authorities as a site for the building. However, the local commanding officer of the 35 Central Alberta Horse, J. Carlyle Moore wanted to

see the Armouries located on the southeast corner of the civic square (now City Hall Park). City council initially resisted. The eastern half of what is now the 4900 block of Ross St. had been designated under the new City Centre Master Plan as the site for federal government buildings. Nevertheless, City council soon relented. The prospect of securing an armouries and regimental headquarters in Red Deer was too enticing for council to get into a prolonged argument over location. C.A. Julian Sharman, a talented local architect and one of the key individuals behind the creation of the City Centre Master Plan, was hired to design the building. The structure was to be two storeys in height and constructed of brick. There
were to be two medieval style battlement towers on the east end for offices and officer quarters. The firm Nesbitt and Miller was awarded the construction contract at a cost of $50,000, a considerable sum at a time when $2 per day was considered a pretty good wage. Work quickly got underway on the structure. The concrete foundations were soon in place. However, as the fall progressed, there was a significant setback. There was a lengthy delay in the delivery of the structural steel. Fortunately, the fall of 1913 was a relatively mild one. Once the steel arrived, work was quickly resumed. During the lull in the project, the military authorities took advantage of the opportunity to enhance the plans for the building. The outer finish was

changed to red tapestry brick to give a richer appearance. Concrete blocks were replaced with carved sandstone for similar reasons. A brick fireplace was added to the assembly room/officers’ mess on the second floor of the tower to make the room more comfortable. By the end of December the structure was finished. Colonel Cruikshank of Military District 13 formally took possession of the building from the contractors on Dec. 31. All the assembled dignitaries marveled at the wonderful new addition to the community. However, those present did not realize how vital the new armouries would soon become. In August 1914, the First World War broke out. The armouries became a centre of frenzied activity as the community mobilized ‘For King and Country.’ Tragically, a great many of the eager young men who flocked to the armouries, to enlist and train for the great conflict, would lose their lives over the next four years. A great many others would return home with serious wounds to the bodies and minds. A whole generation was shattered.

Popular medical journalist in City Nov. 18 BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express A well-known medical journalist will be visiting the City next week to give a free public lecture and promote his latest book. Dr. Gifford-Jones, (Ken Walker), whose column appears in the Red Deer Express, will be in Red Deer on Nov. 18. His lecture, to be held at the iHotel on 67th St., begins at 7 p.m.
DR. GIFFORD-JONES He also recently released a book entitled What I Learned as a Medical Journalist, which is a collection of columns he has penned over the years. Walker has been busy hitting the trail promoting the book for several months, and has been enjoying connecting with many folks who have been reading his column for years. “I’m not an extrovert,� he says with a laugh. “I’m not one that normally seeks the limelight – I’m
quite happy being a writer. But I have really found it interesting to meet people and have these talks.� In 1975, Walker started writing a newspaper column as a hobby for the Globe and Mail and seven other newspapers. He expected to write the column for a year or two. Thirty-eight years later, The Doctor Game column can be found in more than 70 Canadian newspapers, several in the U.S. and the Epoch Times which has editions in a number of European countries. What I Learned as a Medical Journalist is a collection of columns covering these years. Through the columns, readers learn about a range of medical conditions and practices, natural remedies and Walker’s own take on the medical establishment. His association with some of the best researchers and medical authorities has allowed him an insider’s look at hot topics and controversies in health and health care. Walker is also wellknown for a number of stances he has taken - his strong reservations about cholesterol lowering drugs for one thing. He also believes that many people are seriously over-medicated these days as well. Besides writing several books, he was also senior editor of the Canadian Doctor, a regular contributor to the magazine Fifty Plus
and other publications. Walker, who was born near London, England and grew up in Ontario, knew he wanted to be a doctor in his early teens. “Our home was right across from the local hospital. I’d see these doctors driving up, and after a while I’d get to know them. I remember one day, one of them asked me if I’d like to see an operating room,� he recalls. “I said ‘Would I ever’.� That experience further cemented his determination to join the medical profession one day. That meant working harder in school even though he struggled with some classes and was even told by one high school teacher, who after looking at Walker’s marks, said that he would never be a doctor.
But Walker pressed on. “I was impatient to do what I wanted to do.â€? He went on to graduate from the University of Toronto and The Harvard Medical School. He also took post-graduate training in surgery at the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, McGill University in Montreal and Harvard. Walker also was awarded a certiďŹ cate of merit by The Mitchener Foundation for his efforts to legalize heroin to ease the suffering of terminal cancer patients. His Gifford-Jones Foundation donated $500,000 to establish The Gifford-Jones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative Care at the University of Toronto Medical School. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Another agency they have assisted is the Central Alberta Emergency Women’s Shelter. This relationship with the Red Deer Kinsmen
by Mark Weber has gone back 20 years and they have donated at least $250,000 to assist them. They have also been able to provide funding for the renovations for the pediatrics ward at the Red Deer Regional Hospital, get kids into sports by sponsoring Red Deer Pond Hockey and also help some Fantastic Youth Ambassadors - the Red Deer Royals start fundraising for a home of their own and replace worn instruments and uniforms.
REMOVAL OF DEADFALL AND OTHER HAZARDOUS TREES As part of the Wildfire Management Program, the City of Red Deer’s Parks section will be working in some of the forested areas in the Pines neighbourhood this month. Parks began work in this area Nov. 12, with completion expected for mid-December. Parks staff will be working to clear deadfall, which is fallen plant material that acts as a wildfire hazard. As the work is being completed, any hazardous trees in the immediate area will also be removed to reduce the risk to residents in the area.
MORE FLIGHTS ADDED AT AIRPORT Northwestern Air will add a Tuesday and Thursday flight to their Fort McMurray schedule beginning Nov. 18th. With this expansion, travellers can now choose from flights five days a week direct to Fort McMurray from Red Deer. Fort McMurray passengers can now connect through Red Deer to Kelowna Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Northwestern Air continues to provide service with direct flights to Kelowna six days per week and service to Abbotsford three days per week with a stop in Kelowna. “Given the success of the current schedule this expansion makes perfect sense and adds options for frequent business travellers or commuting workers,” said RJ Steenstra, CEO, Red Deer Airport Authority.

Renovations
STUDENTS TUITION FEES & EDUCATION CREDITS
It’s the time of year where renovation plans take shape; snow is on the ground & we are forced to spend more time inside. Renovations can be more involved than one would initially think; it’s a good idea to call in the professionals for a thorough quote before you start the process. Here’s a short list of things to consider: • By changing flooring types, will you have unsightly transitions/height differences? • Do you have adequate subfloor for your new flooring selection? • Will countertop heights & appliances be affected by increased flooring thickness? • What is underneath your existing flooring? Take the time to consult a pro, addressing these questions before starting your work can make a huge impact on the finished product! Addressing these concerns can ensure your final installation is safe & adheres to manufacturer’s installation guidelines; this will leave you with peace of mind & a protected investment.
You are entitled to a tax credit equal to 15% Federal and 10% Provincial of the total of: • Your tuition fees at a specified educational and training institution • $400 per month for the number of months in the calendar year during any part of which you were a full-time student • $120 for any month in which you were a part-time but not a full-time student • $65 per month textbook credit for the number of months in the calendar year during any part of which you were a full-time student, and

Plantar fasciitis is often the result of poor lower limb mechanics (how the foot moves), trauma, weight gain or changes in activity.

WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common heel problems seen by Canadian Certified Pedorthists each year. The problem is caused by an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a broad, fibrous band of tissue that spans the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to each toe.
Unused tuition and education credits may be carried forward to offset income taxes in future years. Alternatively, students may transfer unused credits of up to $5,000 to a supporting person.

Shoes & Orthotics C ustom BY: JOHAN STEENWYK, C.PED(C), C.PED M.C. Do you often experience heel pain when you get out of bed in the morning or after sitting for an extended period of time? If so, you may be one of the millions who suffer from a heel condition known as plantar fasciitis.
• $20 per month textbook credit for the number of months in the calendar year during any part of which you were a part-time but not a full-time student
TREATMENT • Custom-Made Foot Orthotics • Over-the-Counter Foot Orthotics • Reduction of Aggravating Activities • Stretching • Consult a Physiotherapist Treatment is usually most effective when help is sought as soon as possible. Unfortunately, many people let plantar fasciitis progress for a long time before seeking help. In these cases, it can take several weeks or months until the plantar fascia is completely healed.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting a family that has touched our hearts forever. They first arrived at o2xy-wellness to seek treatment for surgery and cancer. Marcy had her leg reconstructed after radical surgery to remove cancer in her leg. This was the same type of Cancer Terry Fox had and his leg was amputated. Marcy was on strong Chemotherapy so we had to wait until this was over before we started treating her in out Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber. When she was able to she had 20 HBOT treatments and everyone was amazed at how quickly she was healing. Unfortunately a follow up CT scan revealed that the cancer had spread to her lungs, just like Terry Fox. She continued with more Chemo until the family was told there was nothing more that could be done. Thankfully this was a strong resourceful family and they found treatment in Mexico that involved specialized Chemo with HBOT. Marcy finished her chemo in Mexico and then returned to o2xy-wellness to finish her HBOT treatments. CT Scans a few weeks later showed NO signs of Cancer anywhere. Our medical system had given up on this young lady, thankfully her family did not. The two points that need to be emphasized are: 1. This young ladies father is a medical doctor, and he has an open mind to alternative treatments. I would like to challenge All medical doctors to practice with an open mind, if you truly want to heal and save lives HBOT can help. 2. To everyone, do not be afraid to seek alternative therapies, you may be able to save a loved one’s life. Marcy may not be as well known as Terry Fox today, but I believe she will be one day, and she will be around to enjoy her place in life.

Kim Wempe wields ‘modern folk with a timeless sound’ Canadian songstress touring in support of latest disc BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Singer Kim Wempe brings her tremendous knack for expressing herself through music to The Scott Block on Nov. 16. Her latest disc, Coalition, the follow-up to Wempe’s 2010 critically-acclaimed Painting With Tides, is a bold leap into a new sound that showcases her songwriting and vocals against electric guitar hooks, imaginative percussion (chains, hammers, beat-boxing), and blues-derived grooves. Her first disc, Where I Need to Be was released in 2009. “With my past albums, I just really went with the flow,” she explains during a recent chat. “But with Coalition, I was very strategic with it because I wanted to make a record that really lent itself to my voice; I wanted to step it up a notch on this record. And I was really influenced by the sound that came out on the record. “I had to think about that when I was writing – making sure that my voice was up front and a certain style was coming through because I wanted to make a certain type of record. And I’m really, really happy with the way it turned out.” Produced by Newfoundland soul artist Chris Kirby, the CD features 13 roots-tinged pop/ blues tracks influenced by Americana storytelling and gospel melodies. “I was listening to lots of bluesy, Americana stuff. I was really influenced by that kind of sound.” Wempe is originally from Saskatchewan, later moving to Calgary and then to Red Deer. She also studied music at Red Deer
THE
College and eventually moved east in 2007. Once in Nova Scotia, she quickly became immersed in the East Coast music scene and won an ECMA in 2009 for her debut Where I Need to Be. Her sophomore release Painting With Tides featured appearances by Joel Plaskett, Old Man Luedecke, Thom Swift and Geoff Hilhorst. With producer Charles Austin at the helm, it was released in 2010 on GroundSwell Music/Warner Canada and nominated for an ECMA and two Music Nova Scotia Awards. Shortly thereafter, recognition of her skills began to take shape quite rapidly. Highlights over the past while have included a stopover at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and Junofest in St. John’s, Newfoundland. “I was really influenced by the east coast singer/songwriter sound, and you can hear that in those records,” she says of the influence of the Maritimes on her craft. Touring consistently in Canada for the past few years, Wempe has also performed alongside Canadian favourites Royal Wood, Jim Bryson, Jill Barber, and Jenn Grant to name a few. She has also appeared at noted Canadian folk festivals including Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival and the In the Dead of Winter Festival. A love for music was sparked early on, as Wempe recalls her dad playing guitar around the house. “When I was a kid, I wanted to sing, play guitar and perform. I was always running around the house performing something. “When I was in Grades three and four, I’d be singing my face

off - that being all I wanted to do.” In Grade 8, music class brought her the chance to really hone her skills on guitar and her gift for music truly surfaced from there. A knack for songwriting was also soon to follow. “I feel grateful to have always known what it is I’ve wanted to do.” Still, it took time to become used to performing onstage. “I was extremely nervous all the time. But that’s why Red Deer
College was so amazing, because we had so many performance opportunities where we were given the chance to hone our skills and to get comfortable in front of an audience,” she says. “That took a long time for me.” Wempe now lives in Antigonish, Nova Scotia and says the creative atmosphere, not to mention the natural beauty of the location, provides reams of inspiration.
She’s certainly found her niche. “I like to sing so many different types of music, and I listen to so many different types of music,” she explains. “I’m always battling with what I want to do next, but you always have to go with what you are being influenced by at the time. You really have to roll with that.” Tickets for Wempe’s show are available at the door. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Bixby on his way to City later this month Country music singer, Canadian Idol runner-up and CCMA Rising Star Nominee Jaydee Bixby will be in Red Deer later this month. All set with a full band and new album in November as well, Bixby performs at Cowboys on Nov. 30. Following up on Cowboys and Cadillacs and Easy to Love, Bixby released his third CD Work in Progress this past summer. Work in Progress was written with longtime guitarist D. Klinger and produced and engineered in Vancouver by John Webster and Bill Buckingham. In addition to classic country, the musicians incorporated the spirit and style of ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll. One of Bixby’s favourites is the Conway Twitty cover of It’s Only Make Believe. “I love oldies - the sound and style. I don’t think there’s anything else like it. I love the simplicity of that kind of music,” he said. “It’s a story and a song, and I like that you get to hear every word I say when I sing.” Bixby was the runner-up in fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007 at age 17, during the same season as third-place contestant (and now global star) Carly Rae Jepsen. It was a natural progression for Bixby as he’d grown up singing in a family band, The Bixbys. By age seven he performed at bars, weddings and rodeos around his hometown of Drumheller. Today, at age 23, he still listens to classic country artists such as Johnny Cash and Johnny Horton. In recent years Bixby has felt a push to produce ‘pop’ country but he won’t budge from his roots. He is staying true to himself and to ‘real’ country music, and he always will, he says. He and his band put on a high-energy show with a combination of country and rock originals (such as Bixby’s hits Old Fashioned Girl, Boy Inside the Man and Dream Bigger) and cover tunes of artists such as Buck Owens, George Jones, Hank Williams and more. Local fans also had the chance to hear Bixby this past summer at Westerner Days. Bixby, who lived in Red Deer during his high school years, said it’s largely audience reaction to particular songs that
determines whether they make it on an album or not. How a new tune gels with the guys in the band also is an indicator of whether it’s ultimately recorded. Also, family reaction is important. Looking back on the Idol experience, he says it was a foundational step in his career. From there, his life was a whirlwind of high-profile shows and media attention. He’s never really stopped since. He opened for icons like Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney and cracked the top 10 on the Canadian Albums Chart with his debut disc – the aforementioned Cowboys and Cadillacs in 2008. He continued to mature as a performer and a composer, collaborating with songwriters in Nashville and releasing Easy to Love in 2010. This was followed by extensive touring, which helped cement Bixby as one of Canada’s premiere country talents. He’s even launched his own record company as well. But at the end of the day, it’s connecting with fans that make it complete. “My career highlight has been going on the road,” he said. “Just a big old tour bus and my band. Whether we were playing a sold-out show in Halifax, Nova Scotia, or we were in the middle of the bald-headed prairies in Manitoba, that was the happiest I could ever imagine myself.” Certainly, there’s plenty of fun to be had on Work in Progress. Drop the Tailgate is a stomping party number that highlights Bixby’s baritone and rustic yodels, while the acoustic guitar-driven Walk You Home captures the youthful excitement of new love and was inspired by the innocence of the Beatles’ hit I Wanna Hold Your Hand. The CD even includes an old-time country duet Hate to Love You which is sure to please traditionalists. “I’ve gotten to do some pretty phenomenal shows,” he adds. “I’ve gotten to do the shows that I’ve always dreamed of doing. Now, it isn’t a competition and I’ve got nothing to prove - I just want to play music.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Getting a handle on your headaches Inside your head sits one of your most important body parts. Your head is also a centre of potentially debilitating pain. What kind of headache are you dealing with? What is the best way to treat it? Use this chart to get a handle on your headaches.
Jack
WHEELER Acute headache symptoms - the most common type of headache, acute headaches cause pain in the head that is usually short-lived and mild in intensity. Causes of acute headaches are wideranging. A few include illness, infection, and skipping meals. Many acute headaches can be taken care of with over-the-counter pain medication, eating, drinking water or waiting it out. Recognize triggers that cause you to suffer an acute headache and avoid them. Cluster headache symptoms - a group of extremely painful headaches that occur multiple times in a single day on a regular basis over a period of weeks or months without warning, cluster headaches typically affect only one side of the head behind the eye or near the eye. They usually last 30 to 45 minutes at a time, though the pain can stick around for a few hours and cause the sufferer to not be able to sit still. It is unclear what causes cluster headaches, but most people who suffer from cluster headaches regularly smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Treating cluster headaches requires prescription pain medication. Since it is unclear what causes cluster headaches, it is impossible to create a foolproof prevention plan. However, not smoking or drinking alcohol excessively will reduce your chance of a cluster headache. Migraine headache symptoms - occasionally moderate, often severe, migraine pain can last a few hours or a few days. In some instances, the sufferer also experiences abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, blurred vision, dizziness and extreme sensitivity to light, noise, or odours. They can come a few times a month or
only one or two times a year. It’s unclear exactly what causes migraines. What is known is that they have to do with changes in the brain, inherited brain abnormalities and the contraction of blood vessels in the brain. Typical treatment for migraines includes a strong prescription medication and lifestyle changes to reduce your likelihood of future migraines. Though you cannot always keep migraines at bay, you can reduce your likelihood of a migraine by reducing the stresses in your life, getting an appropriate amount of sleep (not too much or too little), avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and not missing meals. Sinus headache symptoms - causing a deep, constant pain in the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, or forehead, sinus headaches usually grow worse when you move your head quickly and are usually experienced with other symptoms of a sinus infection, such as facial swelling, nasal discharge, fever and feelings that your ears are full of fluid. One of the sinus cavities (located in the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and forehead) becomes infected, causing inflammation that prevents mucous from flowing past the sinuses. In order to overcome a sinus headache, you will need to beat your sinus infection using antibiotics. You may also find symptomatic relief by using over-the-counter antihistamines and pain medication. Avoiding sinus headaches requires you to avoid sinus infections. To do that, wash your hands regularly, stay away from people with cold symptoms, drink plenty of water, eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, and don’t smoke. Tension headache symptoms - the muscles located between your head and neck seem to contract for hours or even days at a time causing a continuous, pulling pain that is focused in the temples, forehead or back of the head or neck. Stress, fatigue, psychological problems, arthritis, bad posture, abnormalities in the neck muscles, bones, or discs, grief or depression can all bring on tension headaches. Beat tension headaches by taking medications to reduce inflammation and pain or relax the neck muscles. You should also work with your physician to determine the
underlying cause of the headache and receive appropriate care for that condition. Regular use of pain or other medication can help prevent tension headaches, as can
stress reduction techniques and improved posture. Jack Wheeler is a personal trainer and owner of 360 Fitness in Red Deer.

Dr. Gifford
JONES As well as that of Stephen Havas, professor of epidemiology at the University of Maryland? He claims that “The number of deaths from excess salt is equivalent to a commuter jet crashing every day in the U.S. And that people should be outraged.” Now, a report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) suggests instead that low sodium intake can be harmful for some people! IOM analyzed nearly 40 studies and found high amounts of sodium are associated with increased risk. This has always been the theory of the American Heart Association. But the report proposed that low sodium intake could be
Let Us Help You Plan a Service of Remembrance For Your Loved One
www.parklandfuneralhome.com
risky for those suffering from heart failure. The report showed no evidence a low sodium intake of less than 2,300 mgs benefited those suffering from diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Headlines following this announcement conveyed the impression consumers did not have to worry about salt. Or that they should consume more salt. In fact, why not sprinkle more of it over your fries? So how much salt do we need? Dietary guidelines suggest no more than 1,500 mgs daily. But the majority of North Americans consume a whopping 4,000 mgs daily. Studies routinely show that the greater the amount ingested, the higher the risk of hypertension. High blood pressure is like too much air in a tire. The heart has to work harder and arteries in the brain may rupture, causing a stroke. Increased blood pressure in the kidneys may result in kidney failure. A high sodium diet increases the amount of calcium excretion in the urine. This calcium is removed
from bone and increases the possibility of bone fractures. But one problem often leads to another. For instance, the more calcium excreted in the urine the greater the risk of kidney stones. High dietary sodium has also been linked to the risk of stomach cancer. Salty foods may affect the stomach lining making it easier for the bacterium H pylori, a cause of ulcers and cancer, to infect tissue. Studies also show that one in two North Americans over the age of 65 suffers from hypertension. The Framingham Heart study in the U.S. reported that at age 75 nine out of 10 people have high blood pressure. Contrast this to the non-industrialized countries that consume little salt. The blood pressure of their citizens does not increase with age. Today, pharmaceutical companies make billions warning us about the hazards of blood cholesterol. But don’t hold your breath for ads alerting you to the dangers of excessive salt. There’s no pill to correct this problem. Rather, you have to learn to use your
wits. The best start is to read labels. I had three thin slices of salami for lunch. I was surprised to read that I’d just consumed 810 mg of salt. Shopping is not high on my list of priorities. But next time I’ll purchase a low salt brand such as President’s Choice Blue Menu uncured turkey breast that has only 60 mg in three slices. If you choose the wrong salad dressing, two tablespoons could contain 500 mg of salt. Compare this to President’s Choice Blue Mango Vinaigrette with a mere 10 mg. And consider that most hamburgers have 1,100 mg, chicken pot pie 1,420 mg and a Rueben sandwich 3,270 mg. And remember that most packaged foods are loaded with salt. To avoid excess salt, buy foods with a single ingredient such as fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, grains, nuts and fish. The real message is that most people don’t have to worry about low salt intake. Rather, it’s high salt that kills the majority. For comments info@docgiff. com.

InďŹ delity a symptom of an already unhealthy relationship This column is part three of a three-part series the Express has run consecutively regarding inďŹ delity in relationships.
our marriage? People often say their partner’s affair ‘came out of nowhere’. Yet when they really think about it, they will often admit there were problems. When questioned, they can usually recall a spouse’s past complaints. A wife might say, “He complained that we weren’t having as much sex,â€? while a husband might say, “She complained I never listened to her or helped around the house.â€? This question isn’t meant to suggest that the betrayed spouse is to blame for the affair or that his or her complaints are less important. It is meant to help a betrayed spouse discover why his or her partner turned outside the marriage. The second question is - was this an emotional affair, a physical affair or both? It’s a stereotype that men have physical affairs while women have emotional affairs. Both sexes have both types of affairs. And both can be very difďŹ cult to get past. An emotional affair can be especially difďŹ cult to overcome if the cheating spouse feels that he or she is in love with the other person. A physical affair can be difďŹ cult to overcome if the betrayed spouse feels sexually inadequate or cannot get the sexually explicit ‘visual’ out of his or her mind. Nonetheless, the distinction between an emotional and physical af-
DEBRA
MACLEOD People often say their marriage ended because their spouse had an affair; however, inďŹ delity isn’t always the cause of marital breakdown. Usually, it’s a symptom of a relationship that is already unhealthy. If a person isn’t getting what they need from the marriage, they may go outside the marriage to have their needs met. This doesn’t excuse inďŹ delity. There’s no excuse for it. But there may be an explanation that can help couples understand why it happened. That’s important, since they can’t rebuild their relationship until they know why it fell apart. Trying to ďŹ gure out why a spouse cheated can be a confusing, emotional process. There are three questions that – although simple and broad – can help bring initial focus and structure to the process. The ďŹ rst question is what complaints has my partner expressed about
fair is important to make, as it may lend insight into what was missing from the marriage. The third question is - what was so appealing to my spouse about that situation? In many cases, a cheating spouse isn’t drawn to a speciďŹ c person. The affair may have had little to do with physical attraction, true love or natural compatibility. It may have had more to do with how the other person made him or her feel. This is a critical distinction to make, since it can ‘depersonalize’ the affair to some extent, thus allowing both spouses to understand
it more clearly. The focus is brought back onto the marriage, and the ‘other man’ or ‘other woman’ becomes powerless and inconsequential. After a couple has some insight into why their relationship fell victim to inďŹ delity, they can take those ďŹ rst steps toward rebuilding trust. This involves two things - transparency and repeated positive experiences. First, transparency. A partner who has broken a spouse’s trust should be willing to account for their whereabouts at all times. They should also be willing to share passwords to
their computer and online accounts, and to leave their Smartphone unlocked and in view of their spouse. Moreover, they must be willing to do this with empathy and patience, without growing indignant or saying, “Get over it! How long are you going to watch my every move?� Remember that you have broken your spouse’s trust and given him or her reason to question you. The second thing is repeated positive experi-
ences. InďŹ delity is one of the most negative experiences a person can undergo and a couple trying to rebuild a relationship must counteract a ood of bad feelings with better ones. Kind words, affectionate voice tone, loving interactions and displays of appreciation, commitment and friendship are needed to remind a couple that their marriage is worth saving. Debra Macleod is a relationship consultant with an ofďŹ ce in Red Deer.

STRONG FINISH - The Red Deer College Queens basketball team faced off against the Lakeland College Rustlers last week in a match that went back and forth for four periods until the Queens finished with a 66-62 score. Jessica Foley was among the leading scorers in the game that included this lay-up off the straight away.

Local power lifter lands his eighth world championship BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express After more than five decades of power lifting Red Deer’s Birchmans Pereira has every reason to sit back and just coach but instead he is still lifting at age 67. “There is no age limit,” he says about his longevity. “Like in bodybuilding after certain years you can’t, karate you can’t, judo you can but you can’t compete until you get a medical clearance. Here you’re free until your 90 years old to compete.” He makes it clear he wants to continue to push iron around until his youngest grandson, who is four, is old enough to compete with him on the same stage. He’s already accomplished a similar feat with his son, another grandson, a niece and a nephew.
Pereira doesn’t hold back when he talks about the benefits of lifting hundreds of pounds and how it has given him his health along with a whole lot of confidence. It’s his mental toughness and discipline which he claims allows him to continue to excel at the sport and he backed it up by winning his eighth world championship and adding a couple of world records in his class recently in Budapest, Hungary. “It was easy because the weights for the world records were less than what I normally do,” he said about lifts of 405 lbs. and 505 lbs. He is not shy when it comes to sharing his love of the sport along with the knowledge he’s garnered over the years and so he trains a small group of people at Peak Fitness in Red Deer and he doesn’t charge them for his services.
“It’s a pay it forward for him, “ said 64-year-old Monica Johnston, one of his students. “He feels that if he teaches and trains us and we become fit we will teach and train somebody else and help out. “When I was young I wanted to get involved in the sport, somebody helped me and didn’t charge me a penny and he told me if you can afford to do it without charging them, do it, it will make you a better person,” said Birchmans. He takes great pride in his accomplishments but what really makes him smile is when he sees a member of his team fight through some adversity and come out on top. An example would be Johnston who battles knee and hip issues but consented to give power lifting a try. “She won two gold medals in her first
competition and she was motivated and encouraged, and then her daughter, her son and a grandson decided to compete and they all did good,” he said. He has a family history of diabetes and so he watches closely his sugar and carbohydrate intake which can be a daunting task for a man who claims to eat every two hours or so each day. The combination of diet and exercise has been the basis for a man who holds many world records and isn’t close to being done yet. “You eat, you drink, you rest. You can’t do one better than the other,” he said. “If you don’t eat good you can’t drink good. If you don’t rest good, you can’t do good.” It’s hard to argue that logic when you meet Birchmans.

Squad aiming for championship year BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express In a season with more downs than ups the Red Deer Peewee Hornets football team is looking to turn the year into a championship one. The Hornets went 2-6 on the year and under the minor football provincial setup they’re able to compete for the Tier Four provincial crown. The playoff run started with a 24-12 win over the Stoney Plain Bombers and will now head off to Lloydminster this weekend where if they put up their fourth win of the year, they can lay claim to a provincial title.
“The kids don’t know any difference between tiers,â€? said Hornets head coach Corey Pusey who ďŹ gures this playoff action has done something to his young charges. “It deďŹ nitely ipped a switch. They came out (against the Bombers) and in the ďŹ rst quarter our defence was lights out. They were on ďŹ re and I think Stoney may have gotten two ďŹ rst downs in the quarter.â€? Pusey says this season has been a challenge to get his players motivated so this was a welcome change in behavior. The trick is to carry that momentum into the weekend and practice hard preparing for an op-

ponent they will know very little about. “If we don’t have any ďŹ lm to game plan for them we’ll just go in with our base offence and defence and make sure that we are ready to do our jobs,â€? he said. This is year eight for Pusey as a coach in the peewee ranks and he admits it was one of the toughest he’s experienced but he keeps coming back for more. “I really do love it,â€? he said about working with the kids and forming some long lasting relationships as these players move into higher leagues. “I never used to follow bantam and high school football before but now I ďŹ nd myself watching games, watching kids I’ve coached, some have even gone on to university ball now.â€? He ďŹ gures his team is relaxed at this point and practice has been good as well as fun for the kids so the mood is excellent, especially following a playoff victory.

Claggett’s predictions for the CFL ďŹ nals The ďŹ nal four in the 2014 edition of the CFL has been determined and the two semi-ďŹ nal games were quite different affairs but still some exciting football down the stretch in both.
JIM
CLAGGETT In the east semi it was tough to watch the Cats and Als battle the weather more than each other but in the last few minutes of the fourth all the drama which was missing showed up as Henry Burris drove his team to victory with the help of Dan LeFevour’s legs. He doesn’t get the chance to pull off the two big runs in overtime unless Smilin’ Hank allows the good Burris to appear in a ďŹ nal drive against the wind but Hamilton pulls it off and all the garbage in the ďŹ rst three quarters plus was forgotten at that moment. In the west ďŹ nal, the Lions and Riders gave the fans some big catches, runs and hits but it was again the legs of a quarterback which powered the win as Darian Durant piled up 76 yards in the ďŹ nal quarter

for a Saskatchewan victory. So now we have Toronto hosting Hamilton in the east ďŹ nal and the Riders travel to Calgary for the west title. Both games have the potential to be real battles as each of these teams really don’t like each other but relish the chance to play these games. In the east I am going to give the edge to Toronto simply because of Ricky Ray. Even if the good Henry Burris shows up for Hamilton it still only gives the Cats a ďŹ ghting chance to stay with the Argos but it will likely not be enough. The only asterisk beside this one is if Kent Austin gets a running game going early then Hamilton could pull this one out. In the west ďŹ nal I have to lean towards Calgary as they seem to have all things football working well these days and the home ďŹ eld advantage comes into play. If it comes down to running, then the Stamps have the edge in Jon Cornish over Kory Sheets but it’s just by a whisker. Both these guys run downhill and if it’s crappy weather then running will be the focus. If the weather holds out, I still like the Stamps’ chances because it seems the Riders have not found a pass rush even with Foley and Hall so given time to throw, all three Calgary quarterbacks get the job done. sports@reddeerexpress.com

CONTRAST COLOURS - The design of this Abbey Master Builder show home displays the advantage to using contrasting colours to create a crisp, clean visual.

Renovations unfold best one step at a time So you bought a home, and you got an excellent deal because the décor is a little dated so you put aside some money to fix it up, but as you begin to search out costs for renovation you begin to realize that your budget is sorely lacking and you won’t be able to complete all the jobs on your wish list.
Kim
MECKLER What do you do? How do you continue to renovate your dream home while keeping to your budget? Here are some cheap and dirty design tips to help you on your way. Firstly determine what this renovation is for; resale or for your life in the house? If resale isn’t happening for several years
you might want to consider how the products you are choosing will date over 5-10 years. Everybody knows that kitchens and master suites sell the home but be careful of super trendy products that will not show well in 10 years. When you buy a new home make a list of the immediate things that bother you about a home. A recent client had me visit her home and one of her priorities was the lighting, it was all very dated and didn’t flow with her style at all. She had purchased a few lighting fixtures but could not change out everything. There were many trac lights and bathroom fixtures so I suggested she take down the brass fixtures and paint them white, this helps the lights to blend into the ceiling and will not break the bank for a few cans of metal spray paint. Paint is always the answer, it is the least expensive way to clean up an interior, dark doors and trim can be painted in a creamy
white and tile and ugly countertops can also be covered over with the right prep and primer. These are inexpensive ways to give your home a short term boost. I suggest painting anything vertical as paint on any floor service is not usually a good idea. You can paint over unwanted detail such as wood paneling or wallpaper and visually perk up any space or décor item with paint. If you are crafty or creative you can re-purpose end tables, lamps, wicker and yes even bathtubs with different paint finishes. If you are faced with ugly floors and cannot budget a replacement, throw down an area carpet. Area rugs can be the perfect solution even over existing carpet. If you have an odd-sized room you can buy a roll end or order regular carpet and have it bound to the room dimensions which gives the illusion of new flooring for just a few hundred dollars. My best suggestion to you my readers is

try your best to finish one room completely instead of trying to spread a budget thin over an entire house. You can have everything you want, eventually. Walking into a fully finished bathroom will feel so much more fulfilling than walking through room after room of partially completed projects. Most kitchens can be a different vibe and feel than the bathrooms so you can safely complete the design of the kitchen while planning ahead for the flow throughout the rest of the house. In the meantime employ your creativity and you will soon be feeling completely at home.

Refinancing your home to your advantage There are numerous reasons why homeowners choose to refinance their mortgages – everything from debt consolidation to freeing up money for their child’s education to using their home equity to buy another property. But the most popular reason for refinancing at this time of year is for holiday
gift buying and entertainment. Planning ahead really can save you money down the road. And with the high-cost holiday gift-buying and entertaining season quickly approaching, this may be the perfect time to refinance your mortgage and free up some money instead of relying on high-interest unsecured credit such as
HEAR WITH CONFIDENCE
credit cards and lines of credit. You may find that taking equity out of your home will help bring joy back into your holiday season – and start the New Year off on a debt-free note, as you may also be able to use some of the equity in your home to pay off high-interest debt such as your credit card and/or line of credit balances.

This will enable you to put more money in your bank account each month. And since interest rates continue to hover near historic lows, switching to a lower rate may save you a lot of money – possibly thousands of dollars per year. There are penalties for paying your mortgage loan out prior to renewal, but these could be offset by the lower rates and extra money you could acquire through a refinance. With access to more money, you’ll be better able to manage both your holiday spending and existing debt.
Paying your mortgage down faster - by refinancing, you may extend the time it will take to pay off your mortgage, but there are many ways to pay down your mortgage sooner to save you thousands of dollars in interest payments. Most mortgage products, for instance, include prepayment privileges that enable you to pay up to 20% of the principal (the true value of your mortgage minus the interest payments) per calendar year. This will also help reduce your amortization period (the length of your mortgage), which, in turn, saves you money. You can also increase the frequency of your mortgage payments by opting for accelerated bi-weekly payments. Not to be confused with semi-monthly mortgage payments (24 payments per year), accelerated bi-weekly mortgage payments (26 payments per year) will not only pay your mortgage off quicker, but it’s guaranteed to save you a significant amount of money over the term of your mortgage. By refinancing now – before the holiday season is in full swing – and planning ahead, you can put yourself and your family in a better financial position.
