Local resident showcases sustainable living model Advocate Rene Michalak opens his home in Oriole Park for tours BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express
L
ocal urban grower and sustainable living advocate Rene Michalak recently opened the doors of his home in Oriole Park to the public for tours. Michalak has spent the last four years converting his home into a demonstration site for sustainable living to give people an appreciation and understanding of what sustainable living looks and feels like. He hopes to show the public sustainable living is not as daunting of a task as many assume as well as show the power of urban growing. “If we can show through what we are doing here that you can grow enough calories in all forms to sustain a family of four, then there is a case there that you don’t need a farm-sized area to live sustainably and maintain that level of sustenance,” explained Michalak. “We are creatures of habit and we like things to stay the same, but the world is a changing place – so what we are trying to do here is show how we can adapt to the increasing volatility of change we are experiencing in the political, economic and natural world.” The hour-long tour through his home began in the front yard. Here instead of a traditional grass lawn, a mock forest bed had been made of mulched wood chips with grass growing below to mimic the floor of a forest and a variety of young food-producing shrubs and trees were placed. Upon entering the home, tourists saw the power of indoor growing with long lines of plants being grown in the living room of the home next to a south facing window.
ORGANIC LIVING – Rene Michalak tends to plants in his backyard three-season greenhouse where he grows a variety of plants and herbs. Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express
Here Michalak explained how he is able to get a head start on the growing season by germinating seeds indoors and transplanting them outside when the weather allows him to do so. Next to the seedlings sprouting in the sitting area are a number of books and learning materials, which he has collected to expand his knowledge of sustainable living and urban growing which he insists you will not find in your local library. In the backyard of the home, Michalak has placed a number of five-gallon pales full of dirt in which he grows a number of different kinds of garlic, which he hopes to begin selling soon
at local markets. Here the tourists also saw a forest-like setting composed of a wood chipped ground with under shrubs below larger trees, which will one day grow into a canopy of fruit-laden trees including apples, plums and apricots. In the far corner of Michalak’s backyard rests a homemade three season greenhouse, called a hoop house - made from rebar, tarp and PVC pipe, which is home to cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and asparagus. Next to the greenhouse is a medium-sized garden in which a variety of vegetables grow along with fruit trees which peek into
the back alley through the fence. Inside his garage, he hosts both an aquaponic and airoponic growing system for four season growing where he has herbs and vegetables growing alongside his worm composting site. He calls the worms his productive pets, which he explains can also include rabbits, chickens and bees – all of which can be raised to produce food. Michalak’s inspiration for his site came after he tried a home-grown tomato for the first time and he experienced how different it tasted from a store bought tomato, which led to the beginning of him compar-
ing as many store bought foods to home-grown foods as he could and he said his curiosity, “Just grew from there.” “The fact that we even have to label foods as organic now is startling,” said Michalak. “It’s unfortunate how manufactured and processed food don’t have to label their products as processed then you start reading the ingredients on these products and good luck trying to pronounce half of them. “Food used to be strictly organic, and now we are at a point where we have to feed so many people in the world that organic has become a luxury as opposed
to organic being the norm.” Michalak explains that in the future he hopes to help bridge the gap between people and their food. “There are too many degrees of separation between people and their food and the people growing that food,” he said. “It’s to the point where most people really have no idea where the food they are putting into their bodies comes from or how it was grown.” For more information on Michalak’s demonstration site or on how you can get started on your sustainable living site email info@ rethinkreddeer.ca or visit www.rethinkreddeer.ca. jswan@reddeerexpress.com

City council moves ahead with Games bid BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express
All of council, after reviewing the City’s costs, including $26 million in capital costs related to hosting the Games, agreed to support the event financially with the exception of Councillor Tanya Handley, who cited concerns over the amount to be spent. Handley was not comfortable with a clause indicating that in the event the RDC centre for health and wellness construction didn’t proceed, council would approve a Canada Winter Games Contingency Capital Budget of an additional $11.4 million for the construction of a permanent Olympic size ice surface and temporary squash court at the G.H.
City council moved forward with its next step of support for the 2019 Canada Winter Games bid proposal which was detailed during Monday’s meeting. “Red Deer is ready to shine,” said Lyn Radford, chair of the Red Deer 2019 Canada Winter Games Bid Committee. “Our vision is that Red Deer will emerge as the centre of athletic excellence in Alberta, and will exhibit our passion for community, culture and citizenship to Canadians. “We put a dynamic package together and council has reaffirmed that we are on the right road.”

Meanwhile, council was also told that more funding would be provided by the provincial and federal governments should the Games be awarded to Red Deer, to also assist with operational costs as well which have been budgeted at $34.8 million. It was also pointed out that both federal and provincial levels of government are expected to chip in about $11 million a piece to support the Games both on the operating and capital side.

Some 3,600 athletes, coaches and managers would be here, along with 1,500 technical representatives and officials and some 25,000 visitors would be expected during the course of the event. Radford said the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax generated about $131 million in economic impact, so Red Deer could likely expect about the same.

rights. The Bid Evaluation Committee also returns to Red Deer on Aug. 22nd to evaluate the City’s community spirit, ability, readiness and commitment to host the event. “The Bid Committee is currently working on putting together the final bid document, which is more than venues and budget – it is about engaging our community, telling Red Deer’s story, our vision for the Games and demonstrating our hosting capacity,” said Radford. “We are providing the Bid Evaluation Committee with information that clearly shows Red Deer is the best place to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games.” Councillor Lawrence Lee said the primary reason he supported the resolution is for the youth in the community. “This is an initiative that brings us together for all the right reasons,” he said. “It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity for some of these athletes to participate in an event of this magnitude.” Councillor Dianne Wyntjes said it’s important to remember that the opportunity to host the Canada Winter Games comes around only once every 20 years. “So Red Deer, this is our time,” she said. “I also think about the statement that you don’t make money unless you spend money, unless you invest money. “This for me is an investment in our community; it’s an opportunity to put Red Deer on the map.” Lethbridge is also vying for the chance to host the event as well. The host city will be announced in September. “As City Manager Craig Curtis said, every once in a while a watershed moment comes along,” said Councillor Buck Buchanan. “This is a watershed moment.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Judge grants admission of evidence in voir dire BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express Justice Kirk Sisson ruled that evidence given in the voir dire during the trial of Rodney Arens will be admitted to the trial proper. The voir dire evidence was presented over several days and included testimony from a number of police ofďŹ cers in the case. A voir dire, also known as a trial within a trial, is held to determine the admissibility of evidence. Arens, 36, of Red Deer, is charged with impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing bodily harm and breach of recognizance. He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. Arens has also been charged with three counts of refusing to provide a breathalyzer sample. Last month, the crown issued a stay of proceedings in regards to those three charges. In 2010, police said Anouluck ‘Jeffrey’ Chanminaraj, 13, was riding in a Honda Civic with his then 18-year-old brother Jamie and 20-year-old sister Stephanie, who was driving, at about 11 p.m. on Canada Day when a Dodge Ram pick-up truck crashed into the passenger side of the car. Their car was turning left through the intersection of Taylor Dr. and Kerry Wood Dr. when it was allegedly struck by the pick-up truck. The siblings were on their way to see the Canada Day ďŹ reworks. Jeffrey was pronounced dead at the scene. During the voir dire, the court heard from Jean-Francois Tremblay, who currently works in Ottawa for the RCMP and was a peace ofďŹ cer employed by the RCMP at the time of the collision. He had been on the job for ďŹ ve months at the time. Tremblay testiďŹ ed that he believed Arens was intoxicated by alcohol after a brief interaction although he never smelled alcohol on Arens. “It was so obvious,â€? Tremblay said in regards to how he could tell Arens was intoxicated, citing his experience for a number of years involving intoxicated people. Tremblay was the ofďŹ cer who placed Arens under arrest. Arens was released from custody the following day on July 2, 2010 in the early evening. On July 8, 2010, Tremblay had a second interaction with Arens after Arens called the detachment to retrieve some tools from his truck which had been seized after the collision.
Tremblay testiďŹ ed that Arens, “Appeared totally normal. He didn’t have slurred speech or watery or shiny eyes. He was like a regular person with no intoxication.â€? Donna Derie-Gillespie, defense lawyer for Arens argued his arrest was made without reasonable and probable grounds and that his arrest violated his charter rights. She also said that the more than 10-minute video showing Arens being processed at the police detachment should not be admitted as evidence either. She argued that Arens was detained unlawfully and for a long period of time. Sisson said in weighing his decision regarding whether or not to admit the evidence presented in the voir dire he took in a number of factors including the impact of the breach of Arens’ charter of rights as well as society’s interest in the case.
He said that while Tremblay may have made some mistakes in the arrest of Arens, he believed his actions were not done with any wrong intent. Sisson said simply, Tremblay was just inexperienced at the time and has since changed his practice as a result of this investigation. Sisson added the video evidence that was given during the voir dire was also reliable and that it is the most accurate evidence of the state Arens was in at the time. Meanwhile, Derie-Gillespie was expected to present the defense evidence during proceedings yesterday afternoon where a number of witnesses were scheduled to take the stand. The crown also wrapped up its case with one remaining witness yesterday morning as well. Closing arguments in the case were expected to begin today.

OPINION Celebrating our dads Ah. The long-awaited month of June. Summer is just around the corner and things are gearing up for a busy season of activity, holidays all mixed in with some relaxation. It’s also the month that we honour fathers, with Father’s Day this weekend on June 15th. There’s always plenty of celebrating happening for Mother’s Day and deservedly so. Father’s Day tends to be a more subdued affair in our society – an unfortunate thing considering the influence fathers can have and the much more hands-on approach to parenting that many dads take these days. Father’s Day was inaugurated in the United States in the early 1900s to complement Mother’s Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting. According to Wikipedia, after the success obtained by Anna Jarvis with the promotion of Mother’s Day, some wanted to create similar holidays for other family members, and Father’s Day was the choice most likely to succeed. Father’s Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd. Its first celebration was in the Spokane YMCA on June 19th, 1910. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis’ Mother’s Day in 1909, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honouring them. Although she initially suggested June 5th, her father’s birthday, the pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons and the celebration was de-
ferred to the third Sunday of June. It was not a roaring success to begin with. In fact, Dodds stopped promoting the occasion in the 1920s because she was busy studying art in Chicago. But the following decade saw her return to Spokane and take up the cause once again. At last, it began to gather momentum and awareness spiked to a national level. But it still wasn’t an ‘official’ day. In 1957, Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honouring mothers, thus “(Singling) out just one of our two parents.” Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honouring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972. On a global level, International Men’s Day is also marked in many countries on Nov. 19th for men who aren’t fathers. As with any holiday singling out a family member, it’s not always a happy occasion. On the flip side, we hear terrible family stories of absentee or even abusive parents. But for those of us blessed with responsible, caring and selfless parents, let’s take the time to let them know – our fathers in particular this week – that they are special people and we are grateful. After all, anyone can be a biological father. But not everyone can be a ‘Dad’. So this Sunday, take the time to show your dad you care and appreciate the contributions he has made to your life.
The evolution of fathers and their daughters Growing up in the 60’s in South Africa, it was common for parents to preach that ‘children should be seen but not heard.’ Fathers, on the other hand, were heard but seldom seen by their children. This was an era in which fathers were the bread winners and mothers stayed at home. But we knew that if we were too unruly, a punishment would be meted out by father when he got home. Fathers often spent weekends on the golf course and rarely attended parent teacher interviews. They knew that dinner was going to be on the table by

this. It was the norm. My primary relationship was with my mom and this continued into adulthood. When I called home and he answered the phone, I’d say “Hi dad. How you doing?” And then shortly after, “Can I speak to mom?” Fast forward a half century to the modern day dad. For the past 20-plus years, my husband, Joey (like many of his peers) has been super involved in our children’s lives. He wouldn’t have missed their births for the world, has always organized his work schedule around their school plays, parent teacher interviews, birthdays
and dance recitals. He took our girls grocery shopping with him when they were very little and continued to be the chief food shopper even after they decided it wasn’t cool to be seen with their dad. He’s the one who plans the weekly meals and loves to prepare them whenever he can (he’s a much better cook than me). He’s involved in driving to and from activities, knows all of our daughters’ friends and as much about their likes and dislikes as I do. Yet, despite all of a dad’s dedication, devotion and demonstrations of love, daughters get to an age

where they pull away – often emotionally, but certainly physically as they no longer feel comfortable hugging their father or sitting too close. This typically makes logical sense to a dad who understands that as his daughter’s body changes, so too might their relationship. Still, he misses the time when she snuggled close, wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her sleeping from the car into the house or wrote “I love you.

encourage you (and your daughters, if you have) to find a way to show dad (if you can), what he means to you and how much you appreciate things that he has done or said over the years. Take out a photo album and reminisce about the times you spent together. Allow him to hold your hand in his as he remembers how tiny it used to look when you were very young and thought that he could do no wrong.

Sunnybrook United Church marks 50 years The 1950s and early 1960s were heady times in Red Deer’s history. The postSecond World War boom was made even stronger with the discovery of oil and gas fields across Central Alberta. Red Deer became a centre, first for oil and gas exploration companies, and then for a burgeoning energy service industry. The population of the City soared. In 1957-1958, Red Deer grew by 21%. Consequently, Red Deer gained the distinction of being the fastest growing city in Canada. Most of the newcomers were young families, a reflection of the baby boom that followed the War. Hence, at least one new school and/or major addition to a school was completed every year for more than a decade. There was an enormous push to expand and improve civic services, including new roads, utilities and recreational facilities. Almost all the churches were soon swamped, particularly with their Sunday school programs. All kinds of projects were undertaken to increase the size of existing churches and to
Michael
DAWE build new ones. Gaetz Memorial United Church had the largest congregation in the City. The Church board was hard pressed to manage the increase in attendance. However, in January 1955, disaster struck. The building burned down. Fortunately, the Church was fully insured. Work soon began on a new and much larger building. A large Christian Education Centre was added to the east side of the new church. However, even with the increase in space, Gaetz Church was full to overflowing. Hence, consideration was given to creating new congregations on the north and south sides of Red Deer. In 1959, Charles and Olga Bower made a generous donation of land to Gaetz United Church in what was to become the Sunnybrook
Correction In last week’s story titled ‘Downtown Market features new elements’ it was stated the Market ran every Wednesday from 3-7 p.m. when in fact it runs every Wednesday from 4-7 p.m. We apologize for the error.

subdivision. Unfortunately, not much could be done for three years until the subdivision was developed. However, in the summer of 1962, the Church Extension Committee began detailed work on the two proposed new churches and Sunday school facilities. A major Capital Funds Drive was launched. An old army hut was purchased and then cut in half. One part was placed on a site in the Fairview dis-
trict, while the other was placed on the land donated by Bowers at the south end of 43 Ave. As well, $40,000 was expended on each of the two new halls. On May 5th, 1963, the Sunnybrook and Fairview Halls were officially dedicated. The City gave the United Church three years to build a permanent church in Sunnybrook and five years for one in Fairview. Several meetings were held in the
first part of 1964 to get the Sunnybrook and Fairview congregations properly established. Church services were started first at Fairview, but Sunnybrook also quickly developed a very active program with Cubs, Scouts, and other children’s groups and activities, as well as the Bower branch of the U.C.W. Reverend Stewart Hewlett acted as the first minister for both Sunnybrook and Fairview congregations.
Work began on the attractive new Sunnybrook Church in 1966. Hio Developments was the general contractor. Work was completed in early 1967. The new church was formally dedicated on Feb. 1, 1967. Sunnybrook United Church will be marking its 50th anniversary with special celebrations on June 14th and a special church service with Rev. Stewart Hewlett on June 15th.
“Eliminates Neuropathy Foot Pain, Numbness, Tingling and Burning for Good!” Dear Friend and Fellow Neuropathy Sufferer: our family and friends don’t understand what you are going through. Even most doctors don’t understand. It’s not their fault. They don’t understand because they don’t suffer like you do. You feel miserable. Your feet and legs hurt…sharp, electrical, jolting pain when you walk, sit or… lie in bed. They’re numb. Like you are walking on cardboard or bubble pack. And tingling – like a pin cushion or like ants nibbling on your toes. They ache and swell…even burn. Your toes feel like they are on fire, yet, when you touch them, they’re ice cold.
hope or have been told: “There is no hope.” Maybe you are one of them. I want you to know: “There is hope! Relief!”
Y
The nerve damage won’t let YOU sleep, so you resort to dangerous drugs to knock yourself out for the night. You want to travel. See the world. Enjoy your garden and take your dog for a walk. You can’t because your feet and legs hurt too much. You’ve worked hard - for decades! You’ve looked forward to retirement – to do the things you enjoy. Travel. Now this!
“Amazing New Medical Breakthrough Replaces Desperation and Misery with Hope and Relief for People Suffering with Neuropathy!” You feel confined. Limited. You can’t even enjoy a trip to the mall. Shopping is a burden. Your balance is poor. YOU are afraid of falling, especially when you are on uneven ground or using the stairs. You start using a cane for security. Eventually a cane is not enough and you need a walker. Finally a walker won’t do it and you are in a wheelchair. You are miserable. Desperate. Without hope. Your doctor is desperate to help you too. And…you’ve tried more drugs. Gabapentin. Lyrica. Nothing has helped. If all this isn’t bad enough, the nerve damage spreads to your hands and arms. The most common causes of neuropathy are: diabetes, chemotherapy for cancer treatment, kidney failure and dialysis, drugs to prevent organ rejection, alcohol or drug abuse, bad arthritis in your lower back and AIDS/HIV. Here’s a couple of common causes I bet you haven’t considered…drugs to lower your cholesterol and blood pressure. These drugs are notorious for killing the delicate nerves in your feet and hands. How many people do you know who take statin drugs to lower their cholesterol and drugs to lower their blood pressure? Dozens!
“Don’t Let the Miserable Foot Pain, Numbness, Tingling and Burning of Neuropathy Ruin Your Life!” Neuropathy can progress to extreme levels. It can ruin your life! I can still remember the day, like it was yesterday. Bob, a patient of mine, looked up at me and cried: “Dr. Waddell, what did I do to deserve this?” My eyes welled up. I strained to hold the tears back. I also remember Mel. The day before I met him, a surgeon had to cut off one of his toes. An anesthetic wasn’t necessary. Mel didn’t feel a thing. Can you imagine? It’s as if he had leprosy!
“When Doctors Suffer with Neuropathy – This is What They do!” Why do I understand what you are going through? How do I know your suffering? I know because I suffer with neuropathy nerve damage too. You see, I had a kidney transplant seven years ago and now take a palm full of anti-rejection drugs every day. These drugs are slowly killing my nerves. I am now FREE from pain, numbness, tingling and burning in my feet and hands and am able to sleep, go for a drive, walk, work, golf, putter in the garden and even ride my motorcycle. Someday, when I have grandkids, I’ll be able to get down on the floor and play with them. What about YOU? What would you do and enjoy if your neuropathy pain, numbness, tingling and burning were gone and…you could move and play? I can guarantee your life would be better than it is now! Many people, right now, are suffering needlessly. Neuropathy foot pain, numbness, tinging and burning are ruining their lives. They have given up

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express Former mayor Morris Flewwelling has received another title to add to his long list of achievements – an honourary Bachelor of Arts degree from Red Deer College (RDC). For its 50-year anniversary, RDC decided to present an honourary degree to a member of the community who has made a significant impact on the Central Alberta area. Flewwelling was presented with an Honourary Bachelor of Arts Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. “I was surprised, and recognized that it’s a very high honour. I was quite taken aback by it, honestly,” said Flewwelling. Flewwelling has long been a supporter of RDC, and has worked for many years to make contributions to the arts community in Alberta. He said that the award is especially significant to him because he has seen RDC evolve over the 50 years since its inception. “I’ve known all of the people who’ve been engaged in the development of Red Deer College - those that started it, and those that were teachers. Having the recognition from the college is
especially meaningful to me.” Flewwelling is the first person to receive an honorary degree from RDC. His impact on the Red Deer College community can be felt through the many lasting projects he played a role in developing, including the Donald School of Business, the Arts Centre and a permanent art collection. Perhaps the biggest of these accomplishments is the Arts Centre, which has earned a nationally-renowned reputation for excellence. The centre has a variety of creative departments including musicals, dance, ballet, concerts and other visual arts centres. “The Arts Centre is all about excellence. It deals with a wide variety of art programs and serves all of Central Alberta, not just Red Deer. I was very sensitive to that when I was developing it. I wanted to make sure we had a theatre, a school of music and access to visual art spaces,” said Flewwelling. “I think also, it really completes a community to have a centre for arts. I wanted to make sure people had the opportunity to learn and explore what they like. They’d never know if there was no exposure.” Flewwelling’s vision was for people
to recognize Red Deer’s commitment to the arts, and to experience a wellrounded community that celebrates different aspects of culture. A number of other awards were presented as part of the convocation ceremony. Dr. Don Hepburn received the G.H. Dawe Memorial Award, Randy Harper was named Alumnus of the Year and the Special Alumnus Legacy Award was given to the late Tim Guilbault. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Steampunk-themed piano set for Ross Street BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express A local artist is looking forward to transforming the piano on the Ross Street Patio. Carmen Winter is transforming the piano on the Ross Street Patio and hopes to have the project completed in about a month. The theme of the piano will be Steampunk. According to Wikipedia, Steampunk is a sub-genre of science ficion that features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by industrialized western civilization during the 19th century. “At the end it’s going to have sort of a steam-era look to it. It will have pipes coming out and gears and cranks and knobs to make it look like it is steampowered,” said Winter. “I first heard about Steampunk several years ago and dabbled a little but in making jewellery and hats. So when I was given this opportunity I knew that I wanted to do that theme because how many people can say they have Steampunked a piano? “I’m really excited about it. I can’t wait to see how it is going to turn out, just like everyone else. This will be my first installment. I am planning on doing more than just paint – I am planning on installing hardware pieces and moving parts. It’s going to be interesting.” She added it is important
to add the crank to the side of the piano so everyone can enjoy it. “Not everyone can play the piano so I want to make sure if someone can’t play it, they can play with it.” As for being involved in a project that is centered in the downtown core and that all Red Deerians can enjoy, Winter is excited. “I think it’s really great that the community is so interested in supporting the idea. When I was here sanding the other day, my friend Brad was out playing guitar and there were people having coffee and it was such a community atmosphere. A couple of years ago before this patio was here this street wasn’t exactly an exciting place to sit down, so I think these projects are really important for the City and to help bring the community together. I’m excited to be part of it.” As for donations, Winter said she is looking for community members and businesses to donate materials for the piano including a hand crank generator, gears, rivets and paint. To donate, call Carmen Winter at 403-505-9476 or email her at carmenmwinter@gmail.com. Meanwhile, entertainment on the Ross Street Patio kicked off last Friday. A number of musicians are set to take the stage during the summer. And recently the Downtown Business Association has initiated two extra nights of live mu-
sic per week, taking place on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Both the Wednesday and Thursday live music programming will run through till Sept. 24th and 25th. The live music on Wednesday nights will be composed of scheduled professional artists, while the Thursday Jam Nights will serve as an open platform for up and coming musicians to show up and showcase their skills. The Association is looking to book up every
Wednesday this summer, from 5:30- 8:30 p.m. For further booking inquiries contact Tyler Bowman at the Downtown Business Association. The Thursday Jam Night will be a relaxed and fun atmosphere for any musician to come out and play for a crowd. The programming will operate on a first-come first-serve basis. Those first to show up and write their name on the sign-up sheet will play first, and so on and so forth. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

POLICE BRIEFS
MAN ARRESTED FOR SERIES OF CRIMES
Sunnybrook Farm, and are working to locate that vehicle and driver.
A series of crimes committed by a single suspect kept a number of Red Deer RCMP busy for more than an hour on the south end of Red Deer Monday, ending in the suspect’s arrest in the Bower neighbourhood. The events began with an armed robbery at the Gaetz Avenue Liquor Store. The suspect produced a knife and left the store with two bottles of liquor. Upon leaving the store, the suspect stole a red Honda Acura and left the scene. While fleeing the area in the stolen vehicle, the suspect struck another vehicle at 47th Ave. and 30th St. in front of Sunnybrook Farm. The suspect then fled the scene on foot, leaving the female driver trapped in her vehicle. While Red Deer Fire and EMS attended to extricate the female from her vehicle, the suspect was seen running south into Bower. Witnesses tracked the suspect’s movements to Sims Furniture and Bower Place Shopping Centre. The suspect then attempted to enter several homes before police located him in the backyard of a residence. Upon being confronted by police, the suspect pulled out a knife, threatened police and resisted arrest; he was taken into custody. There were no injuries as a result of the armed robbery. The female victim of the hit and run was taken to hospital with unconfirmed injuries. RCMP continue to piece together the details of this series of events and interview witnesses. They are also investigating a report that the suspect struck another vehicle before colliding with the female in front of
FEMALE AIRLIFTED AFTER COLLISION A female victim is recovering in hospital after allegedly being struck by a vehicle while she was crossing the road. On June 6th at 3:30 p.m., Red Deer City RCMP responded to a collision at the intersection of 67th St. and 58th Ave. A pedestrian was attempting to cross 67th St. when she was struck by a Mazda car that was east bound. The pedestrian, an 18-year-old female suffered critical injuries and was transported to Red Deer Hospital by EMS. She was airlifted by STARS air ambulance to University of Alberta Hospital where she is currently in critical but stable condition. The driver of the car is a 19-year-old female. Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be a factor in this collision.
by Erin Fawcett The two assailants are described as Caucasian males, in their early to mid-20s, wearing dark clothing. One male was reported to have red hair, the other light brown hair. RCMP members from eight RCMP Detachments, along with the RCMP Air Services Helicopter, Red Deer Forensic Identification Section and the Police Dog Service responded to
the scene and surrounding area. The vehicle was located a short time later in Bowden and was found to have been stolen from a rural location near Pine Lake. The suspects are still at large. They are believed to be armed and dangerous. Anyone with information on this matter can contact the Innisfail RCMP Detachment.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY NEAR INNISFAIL Police continue to search for the suspects who were allegedly involved in an attempted robbery at an area campground. On June 5th at 7:32 p.m., Innisfail RCMP responded to a report of an attempted robbery at a campground located 10 kms west of Innisfail. It was reported that two males drove into the campground in a yellow extended cab Dodge pickup with black stripes on the box. The vehicle stopped in front of one of the RV lots, and the driver got out and began demanding property from the lone occupant of the site. The situation escalated and the assailant fired a shot from a handgun into the ground prior to fleeing the scene in the same vehicle.

RCMP warn of computer tech support scams Between March 4th and May 30th, six Red Deerians have reported receiving phone calls from scammers claiming to be calling from Microsoft and saying they had identified viruses on their intended victims’ computers. Scammers attempt to gain remote access to victims’ computers and the personal information contained there; the scam-
It’s time to have that difficult talk with your Mom and Dad. Are you ready?
mers then also request credit card information to pay for their bogus service. Several victims in Red Deer did allow access to their computer or gave credit card information; other potential victims refused, at which point the scammer became verbally abusive and threatened to ‘crash’ their computers. “We have also heard unsubstantiated reports that scammers using these tactics have pretended to be calling from local telecommunications companies,” said Cpl. Sarah Knelsen, of the Red Deer RCMP. “The police cannot state strongly enough that no legitimate business will ever call you to say you have a computer virus. That’s not how virus detection works, and it’s not how legitimate telecommunications companies work.” Like many scams, the
tech support scam has been around for a long time. RCMP see scams like these come and go in cycles: in summer, the fake gold scam surfaces where scammers approach people in parking lots claiming they need to sell valuable jewellery to get back home; RCMP reported on grandparent/emergency scams in Red Deer in December, romance scams in February and tax/immigration scams in March of this year. “Regardless of the story being told, there is one surefire way to avoid being victimized by these predators,” said Knelsen. “Do not give out personal information over the phone or the Internet, ever, under any circumstances, unless you initiated the contact and have verified that you’re dealing with a legitimate company.” - Fawcett

Elder Abuse Awareness Day sheds light on dark situations The Golden Circle has provided a 1-877 number that provides around-the-clock resources and information on dealing with elder abuse. Also, the Golden Circle has joined with Family Services of Central Alberta and the Central Alberta Council on Aging to form the Generations Project. The project focuses on two aspects – an elder abuse protocol for identifying and reporting abuse and education awareness workshops that are provided to seniors lodges, long-term care facilities and other similar associations. “We are trying to raise awareness around the issue of elder abuse and to encourage people to take action and to tell people that they can do something about it,” explained Morrison. “It’s all about having the right to say no. Or, challenging a family member who has been given the right to do finances, but is mistreating that duty.” If abuse happens at a care facility, it is in violation of the Protection for Persons In Care Act. This provides resources and support to end abuse that has been reported, and is the first line of defence when ending abusive behaviours. “Just come and join us, learn what elder abuse is. We want to get people talking about this. The idea is to ‘start the conversation’ (the theme of the event.)”
BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express Elder abuse is a social crime that is largely unreported. It encompasses neglect, financial abuse, sexual or physical abuse, medical abuse and emotional/psychological abuse. On Saturday the Golden Circle is having an open community discussion from 1-3 p.m. to give people resources on identifying and stopping elder abuse. “We’re trying to create and raise awareness around elder abuse. It is a social issue. Everybody has a responsibility to ensure that it doesn’t continue,” said Golden Circle Executive Director Monica Morrison. “It’s the same with child abuse. Now people call in when they see child abuse, and we want the same thing to happen for people witnessing elder abuse to make this a safe community for elderly people.” The Golden Circle will offer scenarios to demonstrate different kinds of abuse, and provide resources for those who witness these events. “The most common form of abuse that we hear about is financial abuse. That is where a family member is taking money from a parent or grandparent, misusing the directives put in place around finances and cleaning out bank accounts,” said Morrison. “Then the seniors themselves do not have the financial resources to get food, pay rent, what have you.”

Special Olympics breakfast fundraiser coming up Olympic hockey star Shannon Szabados will be the guest speaker at the eighth annual Special Olympics Red Deer Celebrity Breakfast on June 17th at Westerner Park sponsored by the Red Deer Motor Dealers Association. Szabados started playing hockey when she was five years old. She has played boys/ men’s hockey her entire career, with the exception of this season when she played full-time with Canada’s Women’s Olympic Team.
She became the first and only female to play in the WHL and played her first game against the Vancouver Giants with Carey Price of the Montreal Canadians as her backup on the bench. She went on to play five years of Junior A in the AJHL where she played in one Top Prospects game, two All-Star games, was named her team’s Most Valuable Player twice and was named the League’s Top Goaltender in 2007. She went on to play men’s university
hockey at Grant MacEwan where she led her team to the league finals in 2008 and was named her team’s Most Valuable Player in 2009. She joined Team Canada full-time to train for the 2010 Olympics as well. For her efforts she was named to the Olympic All-Star Team, and was also named the Olympics’ Top Goaltender. The breakfast is a fundraiser for the 250 Special Olympic athletes who participate in 11 sports.
Special guests will be Red Deer athletes who have been chosen to join Team Alberta for the Special Olympics Summer Games in Vancouver this year as a result of their performances at the spring games held in Red Deer in April of last year and the summer games which were held in Devon last July. For ticket information, contact Jerry Tennant at 587-273-4672 or email jerry@specialolympicsreddeer.ca. - Weber

Need Assistance, but don’t want to give up your Independence?
WHAT IS A FOOT ORTHOTIC?
Then Symphony Senior Living is the place for you.
A foot orthotic is a brace that can be discreetly inserted into the shoe to support, align, prevent and/or correct foot deformities and improve foot function. Used in conjunction with appropriate footwear, a foot orthotic can be effective in helping to treat a number of foot problems, including heel, arch and forefoot pain, as well as pain and complications related to health conditions such as diabetes and arthritis. There are two basic types of foot orthotics: over-the-counter and custom-made.
We are pleased to introduce a new concept of Supportive Living Services to our communities. We believe that our Residents should be able to stay in their suite of choice as their needs change and more assistance is required. We know that as you age, some everyday activities can become challenging, preventing you from enjoying the simple pleasures of living.
WHO NEEDS A FOOT ORTHOTIC?
As the responsibilities of providing care for a much loved friend or family member becomes more than what can adequately be managed at home, we offer an alternative.
If required, all ages can benefit from a foot orthotic. From mild discomfort in the ball of the foot from such conditions as metatarsalgia, to severe problems including diabetic foot ulcers, a foot orthotic can help a wide range of patients.
Allow us to provide care and services, while you return to the enjoyment of living, regaining your relationship and peace-of-mind.
A detailed assessment from an orthotic and footwear expert such as a Canadian Certified Pedorthist can confirm if a foot orthotic will assist a patient with a particular foot, leg, or even back problem.
Call us today and we’d be glad to listen and share information that will help.

H otBY: Tubs SHEILA EDMONDSON
Disease L yme BY: AL EVANS HBOT to Treat Lyme Disease Lyme disease consists of spirochetes which are invasive bacteria. Spirochetes have a head on both ends, allowing them the ability to burrow into the organ or muscle and sporactically change direction causing further damage. They also have the ability to take on the protein covering of one’s body, thereby disguising it from the body’s defense mechanisms. The spirochetes do not like 100% oxygen under a deep pressure. The deep pressure forces the oxygen into the fluids of the body as well as the tissues of the muscles and organs. It is even more effective when the spirochetes are going through their reproductive cycle and that is when we hit them hard. Spirochetes, on the other hand can survive and multiply in a slightly higher (than room air) oxygen content with a lower pressure. Some will be killed, but the survivors will get used to the oxygen and thrive. When treating Lyme disease in a hyperbaric chamber with 100% oxygen at a deeper ATA it is recommended that you are diligent with your treatments and make the commitment to at least be able to catch the spirochetes during at least two of the cycles and, what was not destroyed during the first will hopefully be killed during the second cycle.

A colourful way to run 5km
Yard Sale
BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express Last year was the inception of Run or Dye and this year it’s hitting Red Deer for the first time. Run or Dye is a colour-filled fun run event that is based off of an ancient Hindu festival called ‘holi’, where citizens gather together to celebrate spring, forgiveness, love and good energy. People shower each other in colour as a symbol of letting go of bad things and embracing love in the present moment.
Join us for the 2nd Annual Community Yard Sale and BBQ at Red Deer Funeral Home. Event proceeds, including table fees ($10/table), food sales and “staff table” items , will go to the Red Deer Christmas Bureau. Donations are gratefully accepted (please no clothing). Date

Run or Dye has drawn inspiration from the Hindu festival and has created a 5km run that promotes the theme of ‘give love’ to its racers, the idea being that when you are showered in the colours, you let go of the bad and embrace the new, bright aspects of life. “Our primary goal and our mission as the company is to provide people with unique and memorable event experiences that they can share with the people they love,” said promotional group Viral Events Communications Director Katie Langston.

“It brings them closer to their friends and family and give people a really special day that they’ll remember for a long time,” she said. Run or Dye partners with a non-profit organization within each city an event is held. Non-profit agencies provide volunteers for the events in exchange for a platform to share their missions and spread awareness through online marketing and in printed documents from Run or Dye. The non-profit also receives a donation from Run or Dye after the event. Red Deer Regional Health Foundation will be the recipient of the donation this year. “It’s a fixed amount. There are lots of events where we’ve lost money, but the non-profit still will get the donation and be able to use that towards their bottom line,” explains Langston. “Run or Dye can’t happen without volunteers – they are a critical part of the event and event production. “Non-profit partnerships help us out because we’re able to find volunteers in a market where we may not have been able to ourselves.” The Run or Dye fun run event is open to all ages. Children six and under enter free. Single registry is $61, and teams of four can register for $56. The event takes place on June 21st at Canyon Resort, all day long.

The Little Death, also directed by Scott, features Dan Vasquez, Pam Miller, Ashley Mercia and Alanna Lindl, and was written by Peter M. Floyd.

It’s being directed by Elena Stalwick and stars Logan Shave and Isaiah Williams. Edwards, a talented actor in her own right, is enjoying the role of co-producer this time around. “It’s similar to bringing a character to life.

Babel of Circular Labyrinths, written by Don Nigro, is being directed by Erik Anderson and features him as well as one of the actors. A blind writer sits in a circle of light in a dark library asking why he doesn’t just sit in the dark, why a raven is like a writing desk and what is the nature of labyrinths.

Her father takes her as a child back to England where she is raised by her great uncle (Tom Wilkinson) and aunt (Emily Watson) with a cousin. She grows up in comfort and wealth and turns out to be intelligent, beautiful and rich. But, because she is half black, is not accepted by many in class-conscious 18th century England, to the point of not being able to eat at the same table when guests visit her family’s estate.

Tips for stretching and flexibility exercises If you’re confused about the purpose and correct way to stretch, you’re not alone. Over the years, the rules of stretching have changed and as a result, research shows many people continue to stretch the wrong way. But don’t let this keep you from stretching. Because confusing as it may be, stretching is an important part of your exercise routine. Ever wonder what the big deal is about stretching? Want to know the best way to stretch? Read on to find out. Have trouble reaching down to tie your shoes? Feel stiff in the morning when you get out of bed? Stretching improves your flexibility so exercise and the movements of daily life are easier and safer. This is a huge asset later in life. Besides flexibility, stretching offers many other benefits. It can improve your fitness level, reduce your risk of injury, lessen muscle soreness and tension, improve circulation, relieve painful joints, help your body and mind relax, improve posture and reduce the pains of menstrual cramps in women. The best order of your exercise routine should be a general warm-up, dynamic stretches, working out, cool down and then static stretches. Don’t consider a few minutes of stretching your warm-up. Spending 10 minutes for light activity such as walking or slow jogging to warm up your muscles is important before your stretch. Without a proper warm-up and gentle stretches, you’re more prone to injury. After your workout, don’t think a period of stretching is a sufficient cool-down. The best way to prevent muscle soreness, fatigue, and cramping is to have a decent cool-down period. For at least five to 10 minutes, slow your pace and let your heart rate and breathing slow down. Lastly, it’s time for static stretches. Before and after a workout isn’t the only time you can stretch. Stretch anytime of day. This could be upon getting out of bed, during your lunch break, or before bed. Any bit of stretching helps, so stretch it out as often as possible! After your warm-up, a few dynamic stretches help prepare your muscles for exercise. Dynamic stretches include the movements you’ll be doing in your workout, but are less intense versions. This type of stretching moves your muscles through

WHEELER their range of motion. Rather than standing still and holding a stretch, you’re moving and stretching your muscles. This could be lunges, kicks, twists, or sweeping motions. Following your cool down is the time for static stretches. You’ll get in a position that stretches your muscles and hold it. The best order of stretching is first your upper
and lower back, then your sides, buttocks, calves, hamstrings, shins, quadriceps, arms, then chest. How long do you hold a static stretch? In most cases, a good rule for adults is to hold for 20 to 30 seconds. For kids and teens, 10 seconds should be long enough. Do several repetitions of each stretch, resting 15 seconds between reps. To get the most out of your stretches make sure you’re breathing properly. The ideal way to breathe will help you relax, increase your blood flow, and reduce the build up of lactic acid, which can make your muscles sore. Take slow breaths by inhaling through your nose and expanding your abdomen (not your chest). Hold it a

second then exhale through your nose. Anytime you’re stretching, whether is during a dynamic or static stretch, you shouldn’t feel any pain. You’ll feel slight discomfort, but don’t reach farther than your normal range of motion. Stretching should be done gradually, not rushed. As you’re holding a stretch, don’t bounce and keep breathing. Remember—always stretch when your muscles are warm. It’s easy to overstretch and hurt your muscles if you stretch when your muscles are cold. Overstretching will only cause soreness and decrease flexibility.

JONES The tick, tick of a Rolex watch is very reliable. The lub-dub, lub-dub of the heart is also reliable, in early age. But a report from Johns Hopkins University says over age 40, one in four women and men, are at risk of developing atrial fibrillation, commonly known as Afib or AF. AF occurs when electrical activity becomes random. Electrical dysfunction in the heart can be triggered by several events. One is called the ‘Holiday Heart Syndrome’ when there’s been over consumption of alcohol. It can also result from an overactive thyroid. People who become obese and develop Type 2 diabetes resulting in atherosclerosis of coronary arteries, are at increased risk due to decreased blood to the heart’s muscle. The experience is unnerving and patients complain the irregular heart beat leaves them feeling the heart is going to jump out of their chest. Not all AF is equal. Some attacks of AF last a day or two, or as long as a week, and then for no reason the
irregularity disappears. Many patients who have AF are not aware of its presence and may have no symptoms. Others complain of fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness or of an irregular, rapid and pounding sensation in the chest. Regardless of the type of AF, it results in blood staying longer in the upper chambers of the heart. The question is how to treat AF. For instance, prescription drugs such as betablockers, calcium channel blockers and digoxin are often used to tame AF. In other cases an electrical shock is delivered to the heart, or concentrated radiofrequency waves heat and destroy the abnormal electrical signals. If all fails a surgical approach can be performed. The ultimate question is whether to place patients on blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin) or dabigitran (Pradaxa), or to use aspirin which lubricates blood platelets making them less likely to clot. But today most patients are given the prescription drugs Coumadin or Pradaxa. If I were to develop AF I would first try natural remedies. This would consist of a daily aspirin and 800 IU of natural Vitamin E which also lubricates the blood. See the web site www.docgiff.com. For comments, email info@docgiff.com.

Bucs win season opener against Calgary Wolfpack BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Last season the Central Alberta Buccaneers removed a King Kong-sized monkey from their backs with an exciting shootout win over the Calgary Wolfpack in Alberta Football League action. It was the first win against the Wolfpack for the Bucs’ franchise since getting into the league more than a dozen years ago. This past Saturday the Bucs showed last year was no fluke as they manhandled the Pack, winning 39-17 to kick of the 2014 AFL season. At the same time, another large primate was sent packing as the Bucs win was engineered by quarterback Josh Achtemichuk. “I’m just euphoric. It’s amazing. Yes we beat them last year but I wasn’t under centre and to be under centre and to do this, I can retire now and be a happy guy,” he said. The 39-year-old veteran has been with the Bucs for more than a decade and has
never chalked up a win against the powerful Wolfpack, coming close a few times but never closing the deal. Last year he was on the defensive side of the pinnacle win for the Bucs but this victory had a much sweeter taste to it. Achtemichuk had no designs on playing quarterback this season as the Bucs were relying on Byron Stearns to take the snaps but work commitments have caused him to shut it down. So with one practice under his belt the veteran was thrown into the breech Saturday night. He said grasping the offense wasn’t that difficult as it’s the same system basically they’ve run for awhile but he admits the toughest assignment was keeping himself calmed down. “It was the jitters. It took me three and a half quarters to get warmed up. I was shaky, I was nervous but then I took that big hit and thought, it’s not that bad. I remember how that feels.”
Head coach Duane Brown was impressed with his QB’s performance which included four touchdown passes and some very controlled drives, especially as the clock was winding down with the Bucs needing to keep the ball out of the hands of the Wolfpack’s dangerous offence. “This is extra special for him and I’m thrilled for him. I’m also thrilled for Kerry Lynch (veteran defensive tackle) he’s never beaten them and now he has a win too.” The Bucs started out slowly with a scoreless first quarter but things got moving with more precision as the game wore on and Achtemichuk got plenty of help from a swarming Bucs defense all night long as they kept perennial all-star quarterback Darryl Leason in check. “The defense held us in there as we got rid of the nerves and got things going on offence,” said Brown. In addition to Achtemichuk’s performance the Bucs got a strong effort all night long from rookie running back Junior Riv-

iera who piled up plenty of yards on the ground and showed his speed and agility when in the open field when he took a swing pass into the end zone. “From the moment we saw him in practice we knew he was the real deal,” said Brown. “It was a huge bonus for Josh to have that running back because he didn’t have to try and win that game with his arm. He could let those kids do their thing.” Another one of those kids who helped out was receiver Matt Merkley. He was behind the Pack secondary all night long, hauling in a pair of touchdown passes for more than 100 yards. As for who will start Saturday’s game at home against Grande Prairie, Achtemichuk says he’s not sure if it will be him or not. “All I knew is I was coming in here and it was last second. I’ll enjoy this one and it’s a long season so let’s get ready for the next one.” sports@reddeerexpress.com

Sounding off on the CFL wage talks It’s been one of the strongest professional sports leagues since organized sport was, well, organized. The Canadian Football League has always been and will always be a work-
ing man’s league. One where most players aren’t making hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. One where they live in modest homes and have
regular folks as their neighbours. One where you appreciate being paid to play football and maybe grab another job to flesh out the take-home pay aspect of

JIM
CLAGGETT your life. However, once money and only money gets pulled into the equation all the common sense you were born with goes right down the crapper which is exactly what happened recently with the CFL and its players. Do the players deserve more money? Of course they do. Should the owners put up more to help the cause? Absolutely, as long as it doesn’t put you in the red. Both sides were dead wrong to be negotiating in the media but that’s the way things are done in pro
sports these days. Pit the fans against the players or owners and work the system. Now a deal has been struck and some players are complaining about what their reps did in those meetings. In the end the players will get a raise which amounts to a lot more than the average working stiff might expect so they should be pleased. This was not a case of the owners milking the market to expand their lavish lifestyle. CFL owners would still make their money with or without a season because CFL as an investment is akin to putting your cash in a tobacco can and burying it in the garden. Rich folk aren’t falling over themselves to buy into this poker game. The players should take what is being offered, play
the season and allow this league to get stronger. This is the financial stability the CFL is in dire need of because anyone who follows the league knows how close to the edge the franchises have lived for the past couple of decades. It wasn’t long ago when two teams were bankrupt and of course we had Ottawa fold its tent so take some baby steps to get your footing. In about three or four years this investment and trust will pay off for the players, the league and the owners. It’s a win/win/win and we as fans will get to enjoy the league we love so much. Get this done boys! You are a league which cannot afford to alienate any fans and the players certainly can’t afford to miss a paycheque like the owners can. sports@reddeerexpress.com

WONDEROUS WOODS – This guest bedroom of a New Rock Homes and Developments show home in Blackfalds utilizes wood accents such as the night stand, head board, and wall features to give the room a cozy cottage feel.
Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express
Originality is key to extraordinary home decor Sometimes the unconventional is what grabs our attention and shouts in our faces. You have been touring show homes all weekend feeding on a steady diet of new homes one repeat after another. It’s kind of like lining up at the same buffet all weekend; after several hours everything tends to look and taste the same. Suddenly you find yourself in an unconventional bathroom with a custom walk-in shower, you turn to see a large, deep farmhouse sink in that same bathroom that houses two sets of taps. His ‘n hers sinks in one fantastic package; this is unexpected decorating! A sink that is conventionally used in a kitchen graces the en-
Kim
MECKLER suite. Taps and lighting are reminiscent of vintage hardware and is largely over-scaled. These details are such fun and will make your home stand out from the rest. The variety of fixtures available for bathrooms is astonishing. You can wander into most plumbing contractors and be greeted by bowls, wading pools, squares, vessels, troughs, pedestals and the traditional oval sink. The white sink of our forefathers is no more as we have the vast choices of china, glass, stone,
metal, copper, cast iron and even sinks made from wood and various small rock formations. More amazing than his/hers sinks is the possibility of his and hers toilets separated by private walls! I think marital bliss would be ensured if this became a common feature. I also feel that you men out there should be allowed to budget for a toilet in your garage. It is a luxury but it makes you very happy and you can leave it as messy as you like which is a sure path to marital bliss. With most new homes having a minimum of two bathrooms (often three), there is usually a small two-piece powder room on the main floor. This is generally pimped out as the ‘fun’ bathroom,
the room for your guests to use and to be wowed as they wash their hands. Use fun colours, quirky materials and let this tiny room be a reflection of your personality. Feel free to use unconventional flooring such as wood or cork in these cubicles as there is no concern with humidity in a powder room. Combine a rustic hardwood with ultra white, glamorous tile for a cool juxtaposition or mix contemporary cork flooring with vintage subway tile spanning floor to ceiling. When you are working on a unique design, don’t forget to keep an eye out for one of a kind finishing pieces for your spaces. Resist the urge to succumb to the big box just because it is avail-
able but instead keep on the lookout for unique finds that will be the star of your decorating project. It is not uncommon for an entire room to be built around a unique sink or piece of art. The buffets will always be there and they are ALWAYS open. Instead, search and research to find those unique locally-owned restaurants which serve one of a kind dishes with authentic flavours and ingredients. It is always better to dine on a lovingly hand-crafted borscht in a local bistro than to choke down the powdered, packaged cream of mushroom you pick up quickly in a drive-through!

Expediting your mortgage approval Let’s face it, things never happen when they should. The same applies to buying a home. You may be looking anywhere from a month to a year, then all of a sudden the perfect home is found and you have to move fast to get it. All of it can be very exciting as long as you have done your due diligence and have everything prepared to take out a mortgage. Unless you’ve prepared for the process, getting a mortgage quickly could potentially cause you to lose your dream home. It’s not all bad news though! There are
Alim
CHARANIA some simple things you can do to expedite the mortgage process so that when that home is found you’re able to purchase it. Here are some tips in order to prepare you for a quick mortgage approval. 1. Document your finances - know where
Caring •Compassion •Community
•
your money goes and document it. This includes all those birthday and Christmas cash gifts from Grandma! When going through the mortgage process, the bank will look at all your finances to ensure you’re a good risk. Holes or unexplained expenses will only lengthen the amount of time it takes to get approved. 2. Take care of your credit - look at your credit and monitor it regularly. Make sure to pay all bills on time and avoid defaults on payments. One of the first things the bank looks for is good credit. You should also aim to have good credit two years prior to the time you purchase a home. This amount of time proves your financial stability and makes you a more appealing client. 3. Don’t overspend - even if you have good credit, the bank doesn’t want to see you emptying your bank account every month. If you had an emergency you may default on payments, making you a bad risk. Avoid making large purchases if you have other financial commitments and focus on saving. If you have extra money in the bank it shows you have equity and good
cash flow. 4. Do your research - know your options and preferred rate, as well as your rights and bargaining power. When applying for a fast mortgage, the bank may take the opportunity to charge you a higher rate because you are focused on speed rather than options. Be aware that you can bargain if you think the rate presented to you is unfair. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion if something goes beyond your knowledge. It could end up saving you thousands of dollars. 5. Make sure you’re ready - a mortgage is a big commitment and shouldn’t be rushed into if you have any reservations. Be sure you have steady cash flow so that you are positive you’ll be able to make payments. Also, be sure you feel comfortable and stable. If you feel at all pressured into making a decision then it may not be the right time for you to buy. Talk to a mortgage broker you can trust to ensure you are go through every step with ease. Alim Charania is a mortgage broker with Dominion Lending Centres – Regional Mortgage Group Red Deer.
