Longtime resident recognized for service to community Rilla Hand has enjoyed being involved in many aspects of serving others

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express

I

t’s good to know that good deeds do not go unnoticed.

For her many years of volunteer work and service to the community of Lacombe, Rilla Hand has been recognized as this year’s Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement award winner.

Hand said that she was quite taken aback even when she was informed she had been nominated for the award.

“I certainly didn’t expect that,” said Hand. She added that she was quite pleased when she was chosen as the recipient.

“It is a wonderful honour and you don’t expect that when you are volunteering, to be honoured in that way,” said Hand. She added that the gesture is an interesting one as volunteers don’t do what they do to get recognized.

“You don’t expect that somebody is going to notice and think that you are doing something great,” said Hand.

Volunteering has always been important for Hand, she said.

‘IT IS A WONDERFUL HONOUR AND YOU DON’T EXPECT THAT WHEN YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING, TO BE HONOURED IN THAT WAY.’ RILLA HAND “It’s just a way of giving back to the community,” said Hand. “A lot of things wouldn’t be done if it wasn’t for volunteers.”

And just as volunteers support their communities, Hand has those who support her. She said her volunteer work would not have been possible without her family, whom she was very glad to have with her when she received the award.

“They are always there for you,” said Hand. “They are very important.”

Hand went on to say that there are many benefits to volunteering as well.

She said she particularly enjoys the social aspect of her community involvement, saying it has led her to meet new people and forge new friendships.

In fact, it was friendships that led to much of Hand’s volunteer work. She said that with the first groups she joined she was invited to do so by friends.

Born in Kerrobert, SK, Hand moved to the Village of Clive with her family in 1945.

She attended high school in Lacombe, moving into the community while in Grade 10. She said she didn’t really get involved with community volunteering until much later in life, after she had a family and her four children had grown up some.

Through her friends, Hand began working with some of the volunteer groups within the community.

She said that she was invited to join one volunteer group, which made connections that led to an invite to join another, then another as a snowball effect began to form.

Hand said that her accomplishments aren’t hers alone, but were done as part of volunteer groups with many more members working towards a common goal.

Her humility was obvious when she mentioned these other members.

LIFETIME ACHIEVER - Longtime Lacombe resident Rilla Hand was selected as this year’s Lacombe and District Chamber of photo courtesy of the Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award winner.

“I certainly didn’t do it alone,” said Hand.

“There are lots of other people that belong to all these organizations that do as much or more as I have done.”

As is fitting for someone receiving the Lifetime Achievement award, Hand has been very involved with many charitable organizations and volunteer groups over the years.

She said she has been a dedicated member of the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire for over 25 years, is a founding member of the Lacombe Palliative Care Society, does bookkeeping for the Lacombe Farmer’s Market, and is very involved with her parish, St. Andrew’s United Church.

Hand added that she has held executive positions nu-

merous times with many of these groups. She also said she has been involved with several other initiatives in the past.

While Hand said she doesn’t do as much as she used to, it is clear she is still very involved in the community.

The Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award is awarded each year to someone who has demonstrated service to the community for over 25 years.

Like the Citizen of the Year award, it is given to candidates who demonstrate passion for their community and a drive to improve the quality of life for the members of that community. news@lacombeexpress.com

City updates development plan The City of Lacombe is updating its Municipal Development Plan, and it needs your help.

Lacombe’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is outdated and in need of revision. As such, the City has begun the process of updating the plan and is hoping to spread awareness and get the community at large involved in the project.

Lacombe’s MDP is difďŹ cult to explain for a number of reasons, ofďŹ cials say.

First, it is a very broad plan which can make it

“WE WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT WHAT THIS WILL DO IS HELP DEVELOPERS OUT IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE.�

LYLA PETER seem vague. It is also very complex, as it relates to most every other plan made by the City.

Finally, as Manager of Planning and Development for the City of Lacombe Lyla Peter puts it, the MDP is a dry, even uninteresting document for many people to read, particularly when

Are you concerned about the ingredients in your pet’s food? Well so are we; So come on in to see that we have the best selection of foods for your pet’s nutritional needs.

residents may not see how changes to it can affect them. “The MDP is, for most people, rather a dull document,� said Peter.

Jen Kirchner, planner for the City of Lacombe, explains the MDP as a tree that gets more deďŹ ned as it branches out.

At the top is the MDP, which sets the guidelines for the how developments should be done in Lacombe.

Below that are the Area Structure Plans (ASPs), all of which must follow the Guidelines of the MDP, that outline how development should be done in speciďŹ c areas of Lacombe.

Below them are the developments themselves, which must adhere to the ASPs. It is important to understand that revising the MDP does not mean the City is looking to immediately develop any areas or change existing developments.

Instead, the MDP deals with what developers do wish to develop within the City.

The MDP also looks at

PICTURESQUE - Winter may make for shorter days and longer nights, but it also creates scenic sunsets such as this one taken over a frozen Cranna Lake. when those developments should take place and what developments should look like years down the road.

That is not to say that updating the MDP will not encourage development either. Peter said that she hopes revising the MDP will make things easier for developers, which in turn may encourage them to develop in Lacombe. “We would like to think that what this will do is help developers out in

terms of what our expectations are,� said Peter.

Currently, the City is very much in the beginning stages of the MDP revision.

Peter said that right now, City Hall is immersed in a research phase of updating the plan.

She added that part of this is letting the public know what is going on as well.

Through a series of informative ads currently running in the Lacombe Express, the City hopes to introduce some topics related to the MDP and discuss how the MDP deals with them.

Peter said that the key focus of this now is to spread awareness about the MDP, so that people can under-

Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express

stand how the MDP might affect them.

However, awareness and discussion go handin-hand, so the City is also looking for some feedback and hoping to create a bit of discussion between the City of Lacombe and its citizens about the MDP. To encourage that involvement, the City is also doing a scavenger hunt related to the promotion of the MDP revision.

Each week a new clue for the scavenger hunt will be released within the informative ad running in the Lacombe Express, relating to that topic.

The prize for the hunt is a one-year family pass to the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre. news@lacombeexpress.com

Lacombe Regional Tourism seeking great photos

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Get out your photo albums and dust off those covers - Lacombe Regional Tourism wants to see your best shots of Lacombe and area. Organizers also point out that there isn’t much time – tomorrow marks the deadline to submit.

Marie Péron, executive director of Lacombe Regional Tourism, said that Lacombe Regional Tourism is looking for the best seasonal photos of peoples, places, experiences and events in the Lacombe region to be entered into its photo contest.

“We want to see more images and visuals that people associate with the region,” said Péron.

“Not only is it a great way for us to interact with the public and to engage with them through social media, but it’s a great

way for us to see those visuals.”

Péron said that photographs are typically ways for people to remember experiences that stand out to them and those are the moments and experiences Lacombe Regional Tourism wants to know about.

She added that the contest is a good way for people to become a little more aware of what the region has to offer.

Because Lacombe County’s geographical region is so large, some of the photos may be very different from each other, Péron said.

A photo taken in the west end of the county may be vastly different from one taken during the same season in the east.

Péron said that a number of photos of many different subjects have already been submitted to the contest.

“If you look at the images, they are actually quite striking,” said Péron. “There is

actually quite a variety of them.”

Photos submitted to the contest will be added to Lacombe Regional Tourism’s photo database and may be used in future promotions by Lacombe Regional Tourism.

The top 10 photos selected will also be framed and displayed at the Flatiron Museum from the kickoff of the Light Up the Night Festival on Nov. 28 and run until Feb 1.

Afterwards, the printed version of those photos will be gifted to the contestants who submitted the photo.

Prizes will also be awarded to the top three photos, with first place receiving a $150 prepaid gas card and a $50 gift certificate to Salt Restaurant; second place receiving a $50 prepaid gas card and $50 gift certificate to Salt Restaurant and third place receiving a $50 gift certificate to Salt

Restaurant. Prizes winners, as well as the top 10 photos to be displayed, will all be decided by votes of Lacombe Regional Tourism’s facebook fans.

So, once submissions have closed for the contest and participants have all their photos submitted, it is important to continue visiting the facebook page to vote, said Péron.

In order to enter the contest, participants require a facebook account. Find the Lacombe Regional Tourism page on facebook and ‘like’ it.

After that, photos can be submitted. Participants can submit one photo per day.

Photos can also be submitted via Twitter by using the hashtag #mylacombe.

Photos can be submitted to the contest up until Nov. 15. Voting then begins on Nov. 16. news@lacombeexpress.com

Measles immunization clinics offer vaccine in Lacombe In response to the ongoing outbreak of measles in southern Alberta, Alberta Health Services (AHS) is providing additional measles immunization opportunities for individuals at highest risk of illness, including those residing in areas with low immunization rates.

In the Central Zone of AHS, drop-in measles immunization clinics have been scheduled in the towns of Two Hills and Lacombe.

These clinics will offer the measles vaccine to children aged 12 months to 17 years who have not yet received measles vaccine, or who require a second dose of measles vaccine, to be fully protected.

Parents uncertain of

their child’s immunization status are asked to call their local public health office before visiting any of the clinics.

Lacombe Community Health Centre will hold a clinic offering the measles vaccine to children between 12 and 17 months who have not had the vaccine or a second dose of the vaccine on Nov. 14 and Nov. 21 on site at 5010 51 St. These clinics are set up for the measles vaccine only.

Influenza immunization is available at a Lacombe clinic on Nov. 19.

For full clinic schedules, including local clinic details, visit www.albertahealthservices.ca/influenza.

Symptoms of measles in-

clude fever, cough, runny nose or red eyes and a red blotchy rash that appears three to seven days after fever starts.

The rash typically begins behind the ears and on the face, spreading down to the body and finally to the arms and legs.

Spread easily through the air, measles is extremely contagious, officials say.

A person with measles is considered to be contagious from one day before having any symptoms (which is usually about four to seven days before the rash appears), until four days after the appearance of the rash.

AHS is also reminding anyone with the symptoms of measles to stay home, avoid contact with others, and call Health Link Alber-

Lacombe and Blackfalds Christmas shop local program underway

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Winter is here and that means Christmas is approaching.

It also means that Lacombe and Blackfalds have begun their ‘Passport to Christmas’ programs, run by the communities’ respective Chambers of Commerce. Kim Berube, executive director of Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce, said the objective is to expose consumers to the wonderful shopping experiences in Lacombe and encourage them to do their shopping, Christmas or otherwise, locally.

“There are a lot of beautiful shops in Lacombe,” said Berube.

Lacombe’s Passport to Christmas program is modeled directly after the Blackfalds Chamber of Commerce program of the same name. Berube said the Lacombe Chamber heard the program had been successful in Blackfalds and decided to emulate it in Lacombe.

“Basically we didn’t reinvent the wheel,” said Berube. “It was a really suc-

cessful program the way it was being run so we just decided to recreate it here.”

Shirley Johnson, president of the Blackfalds and District Chamber of Commerce, said that the Blackfalds program was created using ideas from a number of other programs in the area, including one that Lacombe had been doing in the early 90s.

Businesses pay a small fee to participate in the ‘Passport to Christmas’ program and then distribute passports to participating customers. Customers have their passports stamped once for every $10 spent in a participating business.

It takes 30 stamps to fill in a passport. Once completed, filled passports are returned and entered into a draw for prizes in ‘Lacombe Bucks’ or ‘Blackfalds Bucks’, depending on the community. Lacombe/ Blackfalds bucks are gift certificates redeemable at any store participating in the respective Passport to Christmas program.

Prize pools for the programs in both communities are the same. The grand

prize is $1,000 in Lacombe/ Blackfalds Bucks, second prize is $500, and third is $250.

Johnson said Blackfalds has been running the program for about 10 years now. She added the benefits to Blackfalds businesses are many.

Over the years Blackfalds has run the Passport to Christmas program, participating businesses have seen an increase in spending during the program, said Johnson. Not only is the program a good incentive for customers to shop local, it is also an opportunity for businesses to thank them for doing so.

“It’s a bit of a reward for their customers,” said Johnson. “It’s a way to say thank you for your continued business.”

Both Berube and Johnson spoke of the challenges small businesses face in smaller communities, such as encouraging residents to shop local. This problem is related to many of the others faced by small business, like stay open for hours that accommodate the public, having enough staff, and trying to do everything

PASSPORT PLEASE - Kim Berube displays examples of the Lacombe Passport to Christmas passports, which are available for pickup at the Chamber of Commerce office or at any particiBrian Vossen/Lacombe Express pating business. at once with limited resources, said Berube.

Another challenge small businesses face is advertising and promotion, which can be expensive for any business, regardless of size. Passport to Christmas

attempts to address that problem by handling the promotion and advertising for the event. Both Johnson and Berube said that exposure businesses receive is one of the program’s biggest benefits.

Passports for either the Lacombe or Blackfalds Passport to Christmas program can be picked up at the respective Chamber offices or any participating business. news@lacombeexpress.com

The Way We Move - Transportation

Scavenger Hunt Clue #4

Most people only think of transportation as it relates to moving people but it also plays an important role in shaping how our city develops. Transportation is essential to our economic development and allows us to move goods, services and people. Transportation physically connects a community and takes from our homes to our work to our play.

Highway 2A is an important transportation corridor through Lacombe.

It connects us north to Highway 2 and south to Lacombe County, Blackfalds,Red Deer and beyond. It is also an important arterial for accessing much of Lacombe’s commercial land-uses (Where we work).

How many sets of lights are located within city on Highway 2A?

For most of us, the car is the main way we get around. This is for a variety of reasons including climate, wealth, Canada’s historic development and how we continue to build our cities, towns and connections. In other places around the world, transportation may focus on transit stops, dedicated bike and bus lanes, rail connections, and even canals! While the private car may dominate, the transportation network in Lacombe is extensive! Lacombe was settled around a railway which is still active today; the airport provides air travel; taxi companies and Connex provide bespoke services and our network of trails, sidewalks and road allow for active modes of transportation.

Active Transportation (AT) refers to any form of human-powered transportation such as walking, cycling, using a wheelchair, in-line skating and skateboarding.

Active transportation also provides health, social, environmental and economic benefits. For example, by walking to work you can increase your physical activity, help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save money on gas and parking. Canada’s climate may make it more difficult to travel this way year round but many cities have begun promoting AT in every season. Cities can invest in active transportation through providing protection from wind through landscaping and providing sheltered bicycle parking at destinations, much like parking spaces are provided for vehicles.

The way we move is what shapes the form of the City. To achieve this, the MDP Update will reflect and support the recently adopted Transportation Master Plan and Regional Transit Service. The MDP Update will ensure that policies are in place to manage and integrate our growing transportation system. This will help ensure that Lacombe has an efficient transportation network for years to come.

Share your Thoughts:

How do you connect to the rest of Lacombe and beyond? How does being able to make those connections impact or improve your life? How can Lacombe improve its connections to improve your life?

For more details on the MDP Update, the Scavenger Hunt or the growth and development of Lacombe, visit Facebook at “City of Lacombe MDP Update,” or contact us at 403 782 1264.

OPINION The Senate needs fixing Wow, it really is true that help comes in all forms, even the most bizarre.

Most recently, the Senate got help in the bizarre form of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.

In the last few weeks, after his admission to smoking crack cocaine, Ford has drawn attention away from the Senate spending scandal by placing himself quite firmly in the spotlight.

The powers that be in Ottawa must have breathed a sigh of relief as the spotlight was off of them – for the time being, anyways.

And one could argue that it was time the hubbub died down anyway, as we have been hearing about it for, well, if one goes back to the very beginning when the Senate’s internal economy committee tasked three senators with reviewing Senator Patrick Brazeau’s housing allowance, nearly a year.

Ford’s antics did not overshadow all of the senate-related news of the recent weeks.

In the wake of the scandal, the Saskatchewan government has passed a resolution calling for the senate to be abolished.

Shortly afterward, Alberta’s NDP party called for the same.

However, Premier Redford has said that Alberta will not follow Saskatchewan’s example, instead pushing for what she calls a EEE Senate, ‘Equal, elected and effective.’

This kind of talk has been around for decades, and seems to rise and fall in intensity depending on public mood or the particular atmosphere in Ottawa.

Whatever the case, not surprisingly, the suspended senators weren’t about to let go of their positions without a fight.

Wallin defended herself and fellow senators, saying the Senate has “Put the cart before the horse” by not waiting for the RCMP investigation into the scandal to finish.

Ultimately, what matters is this: the Senate is broken, and someone needs to fix it.

The Senate has been a point of contention among Canadians for decades at the very least.

Many have expressed frustration with the lifetime terms of senators who are appointed by the government rather than elected.

Others have argued there is little to no use for the Senate, saying they are paid large sums of money for doing basically nothing, only rubber-

stamping bills already passed by the House of Commons.

Both arguments have great merit.

It’s important to note that abolishing the Senate eliminates the problem, but also eliminates one of the ‘checks’ in the system of checks and balances.

However, what is the point of a system of checks and balances if the system isn’t working anyway?

It’s not known at this point what needs to be done to solve the problems swirling around the Senate, but it’s clear something needs to change in a significant and effective way. And soon.

It’s been a busy start to a brand new term Customer Service

I’d like to begin by sincerely thanking the citizens of Lacombe for the confidence they have shown in me by re-electing me as Mayor of the City of Lacombe.

I will continue to work hard and provide positive leadership for the next four years.

I would like to welcome back our incumbent council members – Reuben Konnik, Wayne Rempel and Peter Bouwsema – for another term, and I also want to extend a warm welcome to three new councillors – Grant Harder, Bill McQuesten and Wayne Armishaw.

There’s a lot of work to be done, and challenges to meet, but I have faith that we can overcome any obstacles by working together as a council, and with our dedicated staff and volunteers, for the betterment of our community.

It has been a busy start to this new term for council and City administration, as we move ahead with initiatives begun last term, and begin the all-important bud-

Steve

CHRISTIE geting process for the year ahead.

The draft 2014 capital and operation budgets will be presented to Council for discussion on Nov. 25.

It will then be presented to the public for feedback at an open house on Nov. 27 which everyone is encouraged to attend and provide input.

Subsequent to your comments, council will determine if any changes are to be made, and then will vote on the final budget at their last regular meeting in December.

In other news, I am pleased to announce that the City of Lacombe has launched Echo Energy, a municipally-owned energy retail business available to Lacombe and area residents.

Those who sign up will not only receive a competitive fixed elec-

tricity rate; they will be helping to grow our community by shopping local for their power needs.

Echo Energy will deposit proceeds from energy sales directly into the Echo Lacombe Community Fund.

This innovative fund has been established to provide funding support for local projects, in order to improve the quality of life for residents.

To find out more and to sign up, please visit www.echoenergy.ca.

Finally, I would like to encourage everyone to join us from Nov. 28-30 at the annual Light Up the Night Festival.

This event has grown into a three-day extravaganza that captures all of the tradition, heritage and charm of a good old fashioned prairie Christmas Festival.

The festival continues to grow in size and scope every year, with fantastic new events being added to existing attractions like the Tim Horton’s Santa Claus Parade, Tree

Lighting Ceremony, Christmas Farmer’s Market, Moonlight Madness, a fireworks display and reallive reindeer, all to help kick off the holiday season!

Also during this festival, we are inviting everyone down to MEGlobal Athletic Park in an attempt to eclipse the record for the largest human Christmas tree.

We will need all hands on deck on Nov. 29 as we try to get 1,000 people assembled into a distinctive tree shape.

Come out, join the fun and help us show the whole world our holiday spirit!

I also encourage everyone to check out the deals on offer at the many shops, boutiques, and restaurants during Moonlight Madness.

Please shop local. A thriving retail sector is the lifeblood of a sustainable community and we need to support our local businesses so that Lacombe as a whole can flourish.

Steve Christie is the mayor of Lacombe.

City lands ‘Great Streets’ top award in contest

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express It’s official, 50 Avenue in Lacombe is a Great Street in Canada. On Nov. 8, Lacombe was announced as the winner of the Canadian Institute of Planners Great Places in Canada contest ‘Great Streets’ category for its historic 50 Ave. Mayor of Lacombe Steve Christie said Lacombians should be proud of this achievement. Christie also repeated that he sees the achievement as further proof Lacombe is the best place to live in Canada, something he said when Lacombe was named a finalist in the contest.

“It’s another feather in our cap,” said Christie. “It’s bragging rights.”

Planner for the City of Lacombe Jen Kirchner, who nominated Lacombe’s historic main street for the contest,

said she never thought her idea would get this far.

“It is amazing,” said Kirchner. “I never anticipated . . . winning the grand prize.”

Kirchner expressed her gratitude for the citizens of Lacombe who took the time to vote in the contest.

She said it was evidence of how deeply Lacombians care for their City. “The community really rallied together,” said Kirchner. “It shows the passion people in the community have.”

Winning the Great Street Award holds special significance for both Lacombe and its main street, said Kirchner.

Both she and Christie commented on how Lacombe won this award not only by votes, but by the scores of professional planners as well. That means the City’s existing plans and things like historical preservation were taken into account along with the votes made on the web site.

Christie also said that it shows that the planning and

administrative staff at the City of Lacombe are working hard and doing a great job. Kirchner agreed and said that recognition extends to the community at large.

“It’s nice that the work of the community has been acknowledged in that way,” said Kirchner.

Both Kirchner and Christie also commented on how the award proves Lacombe can compete on a national scale, even with communities much larger than itself.

Lacombe was chosen out of four finalists; Goerich, Ontario’s Courthouse Square, Kelowna, British Columbia’s Bernard Avenue and Edmonton’s 104 Street, for the award.

To commemorate this accomplishment, the City of Lacombe will be presented with a plaque, which should be ready sometime in February of the new year. Kirchner said an event to officially recognize the achievement is being planned. news@lacombeexpress.com

Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser runs next week

BY ERIN FAWCETT Lacombe Express It’s looking a lot like Christmas in Central Alberta, 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 in Red Deer. The Festival of Trees will be open for public hours 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 Red Deer Regional Health Foundation.

There are still limited tickets for three 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 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 Festival of Trees will go towards upgrading equipment for Diagnostic Imaging, Urology and the operating room. Diagnostic Imaging and Urology will work in collaboration to purchase 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/or any procedure that requires access to the bladder in a surgical environment.

Martin encourages Central Albertans to take in the Festival of Trees.

“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.”

Blackfalds council moves to amend Area Structure Plan

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Blackfalds is one step closer to a new development after giving first reading to an Area Structure Plan.

At its regular meeting on Nov. 12, Blackfalds Town Council heard from Gary Will of the Aurora Heights development.

Will was in attendance to present a proposed amendment to the Area Structure Concept Plan north and east of the existing Aspen Lakes Subdivision.

Bentley Farmers’ Market’s Baubles & Bells Christmas Emporium!

Artists’ creations, hand-hewn wreaths & woodcrafts, Homespun stitchery, jewellery, a larder full of Holiday baking & preserves.

SATURDAY, Nov. 23 from 10 AM ‘til 2 PM in the Bentley Ag Centre.

403 - 748- 2838

He told council that the amendments came about after discussions with administration where administration asked if the plan could be changed to include less cul-de-sacs and keep Broadway Ave. on its existing alignment.

As a result, the redesigned plan kept Broadway Ave. on its original alignment as well as cut the number of cul-de-sacs from 16 to seven.

Will added that in most cases where cul-de-sacs still exist there is a lane or a municipal reserve that serves as an exit point.

These revisions, which Will said greatly improve the plan, required an amendment be made to the Area Structure concept plan which in turn required an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw.

There was some concern about the nearby wetlands and the related wildlife in the area.

Councillor Richard Poole mentioned that the nearby wetlands are a popular gathering spot for waterfowl every year and asked if some kind of prevention, perhaps fencing, could be implemented to protect wildlife from nearby traffic.

Council was told that there will be fencing al-

ready going up along the nearby Trans Canada Trail and there is the possibility of extending that fence line.

Will added that in some areas of the plan, compensation will need to be paid to Ducks Unlimited for lost wetlands.

However, Mayor Melodie Stol commented that, whether or not the wetlands are considered useable by Ducks Unlimited, waterfowl like ducks and geese will still go there if there is water.

“I would recommend consulting with Ducks Unlimited or Medicine River Wildlife,” said Stol. “They often can make design recommendations to encourage or discourage certain animal behaviours.”

Will added that some cleanup in the wetlands will also be done and work will be done with administration to improve safe access of the wetlands and perhaps promote some recreation use of the wetlands, such as canoeing.

Blackfalds Town Council voted unanimously in favour of giving first reading to both the Area Structure Plan and Land Use Bylaws.

Public hearings for each of the amendments have been set for Dec. 10. news@lacombeexpress.com

ARTS & LEISURE Kim Wempe wields ‘modern folk with a timeless sound’ Canadian songstress touring in support of her latest disc Coalition

BY MARK WEBER Lacombe Express Singer Kim Wempe brings her tremendous knack for expressing herself through music to The Scott Block in Red Deer 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 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.”

SPORTS Blackfalds Bantam Bulldogs show promise

EYES OPEN - Wade Lightburn looks for an open spot on the net as he prepares for a shot on a breakaway out of the Bulldogs’ defensive zone.

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express After their first league game, the Blackfalds Tier 4 Bantam Bulldogs showed they have a lot of work ahead of them, but also showed a lot of promise.

This past Saturday the Bulldogs took on the Innisfail Flyers and tied the game 2-2.

Coach Daryl Olfert said he was happy with how the Bulldogs played.

“I thought the kids played well,” said Olfert. “It was a great game.”

The two teams were pretty evenly matched, making for back-and-forth game of hockey. Whenever Blackfalds made an error, Innisfail was quick to try and turn it to the Flyers’ advantage. However, the same went for errors made by Innisfail, where Blackfalds did their best to capital-

ize on the mistake.

After Innisfail took the lead, Blackfalds made sure to keep themselves in the game.

Hustling hard when it mattered most, the Bulldogs tied up the score in the third period and kept it that way for the rest of the game. “There were a few little mistakes, but that’s why we have practices,” said Olfert. He added that the Bulldogs’ work ethic is something that has come out of both practices and games.

Olfert said the team is made up mostly of second-year bantams with a wide variety of skill levels. He added that one of the keys for this team will be matching the stronger players up with the weaker ones to make balanced lines. This also helps the weaker players learn from the stronger ones, said Olfert.

With so many second-year players on

the roster, leadership is one of the biggest strengths the team has, said Olfert. He added that many of the older players on the team are working hard to be role models for the less experienced ones.

Goaltending is another strength the Bulldogs have. Olfert said both of the teams’ goalies are exceptional between the pipes. While the team is beginning to gel and work better as a unit, Olfert said there are still some players who try to do everything themselves. He added at the bantam level of hockey, one-man teams don’t work.

“In bantam you can’t do it by yourself because there is going to be somebody bigger and better and they are going to teach you a lesson,” said Olfert.

Motivation is a bit of problem for the team, as it is with many teams at bantam age, said Olfert. He said that the team

needs to stay confident in their abilities and keep their morale up. Olfert added this is a challenge for coaches at this age.

“One thing at this age group is you can’t be negative,” said Olfert. “Or they will shut down on you.”

Strength on the stick, making sure there is power behind the Bulldogs shots, is something else the team will need to work on along with playmaking. Olfert said both skills will improve when the players learn to take their time before making a move.

While there is still work to be done, the team shows a lot of promise and there is plenty of season left in which to polish skills. Olfert said the team is already looking like a strong skating team – an invaluable asset to any hockey team.

Lacombe Raiders head to provincial championship

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express It was easily the biggest challenge the Lacombe Raiders have faced all year.

In a nail-biting provincial semi-final in Lacombe this past Saturday, the Lacombe Raiders defeated the Edmonton Black Raiders 22-14 to become the first ever Central Alberta team to make it to a provincial final.

It was clear from the first quarter that the two teams were evenly matched. Both teams had stellar defensive lines while both struggled somewhat offensively. By the end of the first half, neither team had made much headway and the scoreboard showed the game tied at 7-7.

The third quarter went on much the same. It was in the fourth quarter of the game where a third down drive for the end zone by

Edmonton made the tide turn in its favour.

Knowing the ball was going to Edmonton’s Alexander Gayle, whom Edmonton relied heavily on during the game, Lacombe anticipated Edmonton’s play, moving too early and having an off-side as well as an unnecessary roughness penalty called against them.

Those penalties resulted in the ball being placed on Lacombe’s goal line and a subsequent touchdown for Edmonton. With only about six minutes left in the game, it looked like Lacombe’s shot at the provincial title might be slipping through the players’ fingers. “It was scary,” said Quarterback David Mueller. He added at that point, he was not sure if his team would be able to get the points back.

Mike Wood said he and the rest of the coaching

staff were sure the team could and would catch up.

“We were so confident in our team,” said Wood.

When Edmonton recovered their own kick after that touchdown, Lacombe’s defensive line kicked its game up a notch, stopping any further touchdown’s from Edmonton in order to get the ball back in the hands of Lacombe’s offensive line.

Middle Linebacker James Wood said he was aware of the pressure he and his line mates were facing. He added he did whatever he could to help the defense and keep them motivated.

But, as things were looking dire, the winds shifted again, this time in favour of Lacombe.

A long run and subsequent touchdown by Lucas Wessner closed much of the score-gap and gave Lacombe a much-needed

morale boost.Wessner said he was overjoyed when he realized he had made it to the end zone unscathed.

“I was just so happy,” said Wessner. “I kept running and then I ran back around. I was just so happy.”

That morale boost was even furthered by Ben Arifin, who had been sitting on the sidelines with a torn glut, gearing up and coming onto the field. Arifin said as he was standing on the sidelines watching the game, he got a call from his father telling him to get dressed and give his team some much needed help.

Lacombe then scored on a two-point conversion attempt, putting them one point ahead of Edmonton and back in the running for the victory. A few minutes later, Arifin bought his

team some extra insurance when he made an interception and long run for another Lacombe touchdown.

At that point, it looked like Lacombe had the game in the bag, but Edmonton wasn’t going to let Lacombe have the victory that easily. Pushing for one more touchdown and even bringing an injured Gayle back onto the field, Edmonton forced Lacombe’s defense further and further back.While Edmonton looked several times as if they would score, Lacombe defense hung on, keeping the lead until the end of the game.

The players said they may not have been able to do it without the help of their fans, who showed outstanding support on Saturday, braving the cold weather to cheer on the

team. “I think the fans were a big factor in this game because they helped motivate us through the hard parts,” said Wessner.

“Seeing friends and family in the stands really helps,” added Mueller.

As the first Central Alberta team ever to make it to a provincial final, both the players and coaching staff of the Lacombe Raiders are incredibly excited and proud of the achievement. Mike, who decided at the beginning of the season to retire from coaching the Raiders after this year, said he couldn’t ask for a better season during his final year coaching.

Lacombe will host the Calgary Bulldogs in the provincial championship at 11 a.m. on Saturday at ME Global Field. news@lacombeexpress.com

Explosion aims to claim third title

BY FRED KNIP Special to the Express Two-time provincial champions, the Lacombe Peewee Explosion, have advanced to the Alberta Provincial finals for the third year in a row.

The Explosion faced the Edmonton Mustangs this past weekend, dominating the game to defeat the Mustangs 30-6 on Nov. 9.

“Our boys came to play,” said Head Coach Fred Knip. “Several times in the last eight minutes they held the Mustangs inside their own 40 yard line. They did not give up and they did not give in. Our defense were studs today.”

Richard Jens opened the scoring in the first quarter with a bootleg run for 30 yards and a 6-0 score.

With three seconds left in the first half, Jens took his second bootleg run into the end zone on a 34 yard run. Simon Gray converted the two points after as the Explosion took a 14-0 half time lead into the dressing room.

Halfway through the third quarter, Jens connected with Gray for a touchdown pass.

Gray then converted the touchdown with two points, and the Explosion lead 22-0.

On the very next series of plays, the Edmonton Mustangs answered back with a 72 yards rush by nimble River Cameron.

Cameron’s touchdown could not be converted and the Explosions led 22-6 going into the fourth quarter.

After several back and forth possession trades, Jens ran an outside pitch for 38 yards for a major score. Gray converted the touchdown and the Explosions led the Mustangs 30-6.

Jens led all rushers in the game with a total of 219 yards on 16 possessions. Cameron and Brian MacAndrew led the Mustangs’ rushing with 102 yards and 57 yards respectively.

The Explosion’s third trip to the Provincial peewee finals will be against the Cochrane Lions Nov. 16 at Shouldice Park in Calgary.
