Local peace ofﬁcer shares skills on mission Red Deer-based Home of Hope ministry continues to grow in Africa

local peace officer has returned from a mission trip to Africa with a renewed sense of how one’s life can make a profound difference. Dana Jones, a community peace officer with the Town of Penhold, recently returned from a two-week trip with the Red Deer-based Word of Life Centre to various projects connected to the church’s Home of Hope ministries. The trip took the team to both Kenya and Rwanda, with a fourday stint in Kenya’s povertywracked capital of Nairobi. Pastor Brian Thomson, who led the group, said there are some 26 slums throughout the city and surrounding area where many are forced to go and search for food everyday. “Everyday was similar – we would feed hundreds of children and ask the pastor of the local area to find the 10 most desperate kids in the area within a 15 kilometre walk, and we delivered pigs and goats everyday we were in these rural areas.” Tragically, unwanted babies are often left there as well – and Home of Hope staff work hard to rescue the infants and deliver them safely to their nearby orphanage. As to this past trip, when Jones indicated she’d be interested in joining, Thomson was considering the ways she could specifically help out. As a peace officer, Jones is quite experienced in self-defense, and it was decided she would spend part of the trip educating young women in ways to protect themselves. “A lot of teenage girls live with the threat of rape everyday,” explains Thomson. Jones ultimately taught hundreds of women ways to defend themselves, and it proved to be an extremely important and empowering experience for both students and teacher. “The last class we had in Nairobi – that was actually one of the best classes,” recalled Jones. “At first they were hesitant with

practicing the moves with each other.” But they soon became more engaged. Jones also taught the women about various pressure points which can injure or weaken an attacker. “It also helped to teach these women that they have a right to defend themselves,” said Thomson. It’s critical in a culture where women are often treated poorly – like property. Jones said she noticed many women in Nairobi with seemingly very little confidence. “When I would talk to a class, I would say walk with your head up, like you know what you are doing.” Having a bolder stance can help ward off unwanted advances as well. Perpetrators often don’t expect any kind of aggressive, proactive ‘fight back’ attitude. Ultimately, Jones recalls the mission, which included many different activities such as working with youth and children and helping with feeding programs, as eye-opening on many levels. “Even before I left, I didn’t feel fear. I didn’t feel like I was going to get hurt. “I didn’t have any of that. I felt we were protected, no matter what,” she said. Other times, like when curious kids would excitedly approach her, proved to be moving moments as well. Something inside was sparked indeed. “It changed the way I see things big time. “It made me also realize that we have a lot of things others don’t have – it makes that statement real.” There’s no hesitation when asked if she would ever return. “I’d go back. I actually want to go to the Congo,” she said, referring to the country that Home of Hope is working to make more inroads into. Thomson said the Congo is the ‘rape capital’ of the world. So it’s not only a fight against poverty, but against violence and pervasive abuse as well. Meanwhile, Jones found the trip to be a faith-building time as well. “It strengthened my faith a lot, because it showed that you can make a difference – even having a little yourself, to offer it to

NEW EXPERIENCE - Dana Jones enjoys time with some children in Kenya during a recent mission trip to the country with Red Deer-based Home of Hope Ministries. Jones taught some self-defense courses during the mission photo submitted as well. someone else. Even though it can be something tiny to give, it can be something big to them – and it makes their world brighter.” Several years ago, Word of Life Centre launched Home of Hope Rwanda which supports orphans by linking them with families. The ministry is now reaching 7,500 children, said Thomson. Aside from the orphanage work, the ministry also educates people and provides job training. As of September 2009, Word of Life Ministries, under the direction of Thomson, assumed leadership of Home of Hope India as well. Later on, staff extended their reach to Kenya. Home of Hope Kenya began the work of receiving orphans who were abandoned as babies or small children in a Nairobi garbage dump, local slums or other remote areas. According to Home of Hope Kenya, Kenyan slums are among the poorest in the world. Some 1.5

million children are severely underweight and in 2009, an estimated two million people have HIV/ AIDS. Some 2.5 million children are orphans and about 32% of the population is malnourished. Currently, the ministry is constructing a building to house 90-plus rescued babies and abandoned children. As the web site points out, this is not an orphanage - the goal is to move the children into loving Kenyan foster homes. The ministry is also at work in India, Rwanda, the Congo, Uganda and as of this year Nepal. Home of Hope is a non-proﬁt, non-biased Christian organization dedicated to empowering people within developing nations. “Most people that go with me just love the trip,” said Thomson, who has been leading teams for seven years now. “Albertans are a wonderful, trained group of people who are a blessing anywhere.” Thomson

said mission trips are designed with people’s particular skills in mind, so they are always rewarding experiences. Locally, anyone interested in the Home of Hope projects can certainly help out, too. Thomson said monetary donations are always welcome to assist with the ministry, plus folks can sponsor children in Kenya, Rwanda and India through Home of Hope. They also welcome people to offer their expertise, skills or resources to help out in Kenya, India, Rwanda or Canada. As for Jones, it’s clear her life has changed. “In the end, this just made me realize that anything is possible. It may not come now, tomorrow or the next day – but anything is possible. “You can really make a difference in other people’s lives, and your own life as well.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Council votes in favour of urban chickens BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express City council gave ﬁrst reading to a bylaw that would allow for urban chickens in the Red Deer. On Monday, council reviewed data collected as a part of the Urban Chicken Pilot Program. A pilot project was approved by council in 2013, which allowed citizens to have up to six chickens per household. No roosters were permitted, site visits were conducted, and complaints responded to through ex-

isting bylaws. During that time, the City performed site visits, engaged in a public consultation process and are now bringing forward a report summarizing the observations, research and options for moving forward. There were 35 participants in the project. “Observations were generally positive with minimal smell noted,” said Erin Stuart, development and licensing supervisor. During the pilot project, there were 1,850 letters sent out to residents who live within 100m of a site that had chickens.

The City received 478 responses with 287 in support for the project, 170 not in support and 21 were undecided. Stuart added that 79 responses indicated they were unaware there were chickens living near them. There were four complaints throughout the duration with three of those complaints related to noise and smell. One complaint was in relation to a rogue rooster who was captured by animal services. Administration recommended that each household have up to four chickens, which is dropped down from the six allowed in the pilot. There will also be a prohibition of roosters, on site slaughtering or the sale of eggs. Violation tickets could be issued for incompliant chicken owners. Each household would be required to get a license each year for a fee of $23, which is similar to an annual dog license. There will also be a maximum number of licenses available each year – one license per 1,500 people which amounts to about 65 licenses per annum. That number will increase as the population increases. Those involved in the pilot project will have ﬁrst right to the licenses available. Councillor Tanya Handley expressed concerns over the bylaw. “I’ve had people quite randomly come up and without even being prompted share their concerns and it’s with that voice that I come forward with today. One of the concerns is chickens roaming in yards. It doesn’t ﬁt the bylaw (as they are permitted to be in a coup) but it is what is happening,” she said. “I feel like they need to be where

they can roam around and not cooped up 24/7 like the bylaw indicates. “One of the biggest things that stands out to me are predators coming into the City. I have seen in the reports that we were given that weasels and foxes have been digging under fences and trying to get to the chickens.” Mayor Tara Veer said she is happy to move forward with the issue. “It’s become clear that we have a fairly divided public over the issue. I think the license proposal that is on the ﬂoor is fair and I think it’s fair for a number of reasons. By licensing what council has ultimately taken an indication towards is a precautious provision for the allowance of urban chickens.” Council also voted in favour of a report to come forward in one year’s time with impacts to the community and any issues that have arisen in the course of monitoring backyard chickens for the ﬁrst year. Councillor Paul Harris said he wasn’t interested in a report coming back to council. “I have no appetite to hear more about urban chickens unless it becomes a problem.” First reading of the Chicken Bylaw was approved with a vote of six to two with Councillor Lawrence Lee and Handley voting against it. Councillor Buck Buchanan was absent. The new bylaw will come back to council in two weeks’ time for second and third reading. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Rodney Arens sentenced to nearly six years in prison Before leaving the courtroom, he says “File my appeal” BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express Nearly four years after a fatal collision caused a 13-year-old boy to lose his life in 2010, the man charged in relation to his death has been sentenced. Last Thursday, Rodney Arens, 36, of Red Deer, was sentenced to five years and six months in prison. He was given credit for 185 days for time served before and during the trial. His sentence also included a driving prohibition for 10 years. Before leaving the courtroom, Arens said, “File my appeal.” Earlier last week, Justice Kirk Sisson found Arens guilty of impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing bodily harm and breach of recognizance. In 2010, Anouluck ‘Jeffrey’ Chanminaraj, 13, was riding in a Honda Civic with his then 18-year-old brother Jamie and 20-yearold 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 struck by the pick-up truck. The siblings were on their way to see the Canada Day fireworks. Jeffrey was pronounced dead at the scene. During sentencing submission last week, Crown Prosecutor Wayne Silliker sought six years in prison for Arens with a 10-year driving prohibition. Defense lawyer Donna DerieGillespie said that a fouryear sentence and a five to 10-year driving prohibition would be appropriate. Before handing down his sentence Sisson said, “Jeffrey’s loss will never be forgotten.” He said the sentence would act as a deterrent for Arens and for others who may look at this case and see what could happen to them if they chose the same actions. “It is to promote in you a sense of responsibility for your actions,” Sisson told Arens. “It appears you went to great lengths to not take responsibility for your actions and that your selfdestructive behaviour con-

tinued after you caused the death of a 13-year-old boy on Canada Day in 2010.” Arens also offered an apology in court before the sentence was handed down. “I’m very sorry to the family for the loss and that I was involved in such a tragic event. I remember the day like it was yesterday. This has had an impact on me also.” Sisson said that while he thought Arens’ apology was sincere, he thought that Arens felt sorry for himself. Four victim impact statements were entered into the record, but were not read aloud in court. There were also character letters on behalf of Arens that were entered into the record. Two of those letters were from his daughters. “The letters from your daughters broke my heart,” said Sisson. “But the fact remains you have brought this on yourself.” Arens’ driving record and criminal record were also entered which showed he had an impaired driving offense in 1997. In 2010, before the July 1st collision, he was charged with a breach of undertaking to a peace officer and possession of an illegal substance. He was also charged with possession of an illegal substance, uttering threats and probation violation following the collision. In 2011, Arens was charged with breaching his undertaking by consuming alcohol and in 2014 he was charged with two more breaches of a court order by consuming alcohol and operating a vehicle without an interlock system – he was sentenced to 60 days in jail for these charges. Last December he was also charged with impaired care or control of a motor vehicle, obstructing an officer and resisting arrest, failing to comply with conditions and drug related charges after an incident in Sylvan Lake. A date for trial on these matters has been set for January. During sentencing submission, Silliker said there is a distinction between the impaired driving charges and the dangerous driving charges and the sentence should reflect as much. “As soon as the accused got behind the wheel, he was guilty of the impaired. The dangerous driving of-

fence was committed when he accelerated into a busy intersection.” Silliker added Arens’ post offense conduct was also troubling. “The accused knew there was a serious motor vehicle collision. He knew there was a death and he knew someone was seriously injured. He tried to cover up his wrongdoing by asking a friend to lie. He had a lack

of insight in that he continued to drink alcohol and drive despite court orders,” he said. “He has a lack of remorse. The accused was on a court order at the time of the offense. He had a cavalier attitude towards the court order and he had a cavalier attitude against all of his release conditions.” Derie-Gillespie said Arens’ actions and mistakes came from the men-

tal impairment. “It was a split second accident that had no aspect of dangerous driving. There was no erratic driving pattern beforehand.” Meanwhile, she said Arens has suffered since the collision took place. “Mr. Arens was a hardworking, productive member of society. He was framing and owned his own business. He had a nice life.

Now, his social life, family life have been affected and this is no longer the case.” She added Arens is also worried about his reputation in the community. “His name now means something it didn’t mean four years ago. He wonders how he is going to be able to work and how he will be able to walk around and have any kind of life.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

grated fire and ambulance emergency response. The province’s decision to reconsider some aspects of their plan for centralized dispatch came on the heels of many communities advocating for a new proposal. The initial decision to centralize ambulance dispatch stemmed from a recommendation by the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) in early March 2013 and would have seen Red Deer served by the Calgary dispatch service. The announcement in February confirms there will no longer be a transfer for dispatch to Calgary and that Red Deer will provide backup dispatch services for the province. Since that agreement in principle was reached earlier this year, City administration has been working with officials from AHS to capture the intent of this principle in writing. Contract negotiations concluded in May, with a new contract proposed for the term of July 1st to March 31, 2019. At this week’s meeting, council also endorsed a

Memorandum of Understanding to further support future administration of the contract in a collaborative manner. A ﬁnancial analysis of the contract impact is recommended to be brought to council at the mid-year budget review later this summer. Mayor Tara Veer said she is thrilled there is now an agreement in place. “I’m thrilled we have been able to secure a contract and bring some resolution to this.” Councillor Ken Johnston agreed. “I’m content with what we have been able to do. I’m thankful, frankly. It gives us a good ﬁve-year period to develop trust and relationship.” Councillor Lawrence Lee voted against the ambulance contract. “I don’t think it (the contract) has as much rigidity as I think it should.” The new ambulance contract with AHS was passed in a vote of seven to one with Councillor Buck Buchanan absent from the meeting. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

OPINION Celebrating Canada Day Canada Day is that rare opportunity - for one day anyways – to forget about our complaints about society in general and focus on the many blessings we enjoy simply by living in this amazing country. No, life in Canada isn’t perfect. People face hardships of all kinds, and any amount of prosperity that comes our way from calling Canada home doesn’t extinguish the many harsh realities out there. But in the broader picture, we enjoy so many advantages and opportunities in this country that can only be dreamed about in other corners of the world. Most of us have never known what it is to be truly hungry for any length of time. We turn on our taps and can drink the water without fear of being stricken by some deadly disease. We can worship how we choose without fear of signiﬁcant oppression or governmental interference much less violence. We can walk our streets (for the most part) and feel like we are in relative safety. We have a government that, again while certainly not perfect, provides many services that again would be unimaginable in much of the developing world. Our health care system (yes there are ﬂaws) is pretty much always there for us when we need it as well. Some diseases that still ravage communities in other parts of the

world are pretty much memories in Canada. Ultimately, anyone who has had the opportunity to spend time in a developing country knows full well how privileged we are to call Canada home. Just watching the news will give a quick education into the frightening instability so many face as they ﬁght for even some semblance of democracy in their homelands. So the freedom and peaceful society that we so often take completely for granted is certainly something to be thankful for. That’s a notion that was at the centre of last week’s Central Alberta Refugee Effort’s World Refugee Week event. It was held last Friday afternoon in Veteran’s Park on Ross St. The event hosted speakers from around the world and a number of musical performances. The event is gathering momentum, and it’s great to see folks being touched by what they hear and hopefully taking action to support humanitarian organizations that are on the frontlines in such conditions. Prosperity also brings responsibility to keep the less fortunate in mind as well – both in our own backyards and on a global basis. Certainly, these are critical things to keep in mind on July 1st when we are (hopefully) soaking up the sun and counting our many blessings.

Lowering the voting age to 16 is worth considering Recently, an article was published in the Toronto Sun that brought up the issue of Liberals wanting to lower the voting age in Newfoundland and Labrador from 18 to 16.

Kalisha

MENDONSA In 2011, the same issue was brought before Alberta courts. This could be extremely beneﬁcial in engaging a younger voting community, and understanding trends of youth needs. At 16, my understanding of government was fairly developed, thanks to the education and reiteration of party principles in years of social studies classes. I was interested and ﬁnally understood how things could affect me.

At 16, I also knew more about the government than many adults I’d talk to. They were simply uninterested, or stuck with the same voting pattern as their parents. Young adults have a thirst for knowledge. Classes debate and explain and break down party ideals and platforms to get a better understanding of what governments can do at national, provincial and municipal levels. This education encourages young people to make up their own minds and to explore the options of their government. If people as young as 16 could vote, I think that there would be a greater interest in government teachings. If people can drive at 16, manoeuvring a giant metal box with a motor that kills thousands of people a year, why shouldn’t they be able to vote? If one were to look at a social studies curriculum in Alberta,

they would see that these young adults are learning the skills that would be beneﬁcial to making an informed voting decision. They are taught the importance of making informed decisions; they learn how political institutions affect their day-to-day lives and are made to embrace critical thinking and problem solving. Curriculums across Canada are designed to engage critical thinking regarding political systems and begin to explore the political inquiry process. What that means is to be able to explore multiple perspectives, consequences of laws and civic issues and developing a strong, clear position on political issues. Adults are not expected to use these skills when voting – many adults either Google the party a few days before a vote, follow their parent’s interests and voting trends, or simply don’t care. If Alberta were to pick up this

idea, it could have a massive effect on voter turnout. If 16-yearolds and 17-year-olds were allowed to vote, the interests of the future generations would be better represented and the government would be able to plan for the needs and ideas that are valued by younger generations Many adults who vote do not research political parties or consider what youths might need from a government. Voter turnout numbers in Alberta are lower than they used to be, which means there is a large number of the population who feels their ideas and opinions are not worth voting on. This could be due to repetition of the same party being in control for the better part of nearly 40 years – Progressive Conservatives. If younger people could vote, I think the Legislative Assembly would include more variety of opinions and values that reﬂect

more honestly what Albertans need. Provinces across Canada can all beneﬁt from a higher turnout. These people are an important demographic of the population, and will soon be able to vote anyway. However, at 16 and 17, youths are being subjected to constant education if they are still in high school. This means they will be the ones to ask questions and to look towards change. They have the resources to make informed decisions and could prove to be very valuable in planning for Canadians. The voting age should be lowered to 16. These people are old enough to make good decisions and with the guidance of education systems, could do so very well. Many people that vote don’t think it matters anyway, so why wouldn’t Canada open the doors to an interested population? kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Welcome Home Project has arrived in Red Deer BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express

of several groups including the PLURA oversight committee, Housing First Red Deer and Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outreach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To ensure accountability, we have a partnership with Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outreach. The supervision of the project and ďŹ nancial accountability will be monitored from there,â&#x20AC;? said Ervin. The project requires volunteers to be trained and to make a one-year commitment to meet with those who have been newlyhoused, accompanying and supporting them as they deal with transitional skills such as job searching, budgeting and establishing relationships of trust. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why Welcome Home works so well with the volunteers is it creates stability for the person thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly housed. One of the issues is that we may be able to get people housed, but they may not be able to maintain being housed,â&#x20AC;? explained Ervin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All volunteers are trained. Every volunteer can express if they feel

The Welcome Home Project is an initiative that aims to decrease homelessness and accompany newlyhoused people in Red Deer through their transition. Linda Ervin, the minister of Sunnybrook United Church brought the project to Red Deer after a social planning representative approached her following a conference on poverty and housing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The important thing is getting people housed. Once they are in a safe, secure place, then we can work with the issues that are negatively affecting their lives,â&#x20AC;? said Ervin. Ervin came together with other City congregation representatives to form a group known as PLURA, which acts as the Welcome Home Oversight Committee. This includes representatives from Presbyterian, Lutheran, United, Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. The Welcome Home Project is upheld by the efforts

â&#x20AC;&#x153;HAVING NEWLY-HOUSED PEOPLE SUPPORTED WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES, AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF THE CITY.â&#x20AC;? LINDA ERVIN worried about being in the situation, and will also work as part of a team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are two volunteers for every one newly-housed person.â&#x20AC;? Relief volunteers are also needed in case the

ing not only exciting, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make a difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives,â&#x20AC;? said Ervin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having newly-housed people supported will make a difference in their lives, and make a difference in the life of the City.â&#x20AC;? Funding has been secured for about a year of operation, but corporate or business sponsorships are welcome to join the initiative. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Trial underway for man accused of sex assault The trial of a man accused of aggravated sexual assault against a Central Alberta woman has begun. Nathan Desharnais, 25, of Red Deer, has been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault and unlawful conﬁnement and imprisonment as a result of an incident that took place at his Red Deer home in June of 2012.

He has pleaded not guilty. Crown Prosecutor Maurice Collard said the incident was a situation where the complainant, who cannot be named as per a court order, entered into an agreement of sex for money with the accused. They had sexual encounters on two occasions, the first of which she described as being without difficulty. The complainant testified during the opening day of the trial on Monday.

She said she posted an ad through Craigslist looking for a ‘casual encounter’. Desharnais contacted her and after speaking with him, she agreed to spend a couple of hours with him at a price of $150 for, “Discrete, no strings attached sex,” she testiﬁed. “It was just everyday sex.” The complainant said she went to Desharnais’ home on June 3, 2012. She testiﬁed that she had part of a drink and that De-

sharnais offered her some drugs. “I had a tiny bit of cocaine,” she said, adding that Desharnais suggested that is how she got paid. “I told him I didn’t want that.” The complainant said she spent about four hours at the home having consensual sex with Desharnais. They also spent some time talking. She added during their discussions, Desharnais expressed interest in binding, taping and suffocating

“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!”

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!

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!

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

of time as Desharnais continued to choke her. “When I woke up I had duct tape on my face. He had wrapped it all around my head. I thought I was going to die.” She added she remembers Desharnais dragging her off the bed and began unwrapping the duct tape off of her. She asked him why he did this to her and he said that he had a fantasy. “He wanted to know what it felt like to rape someone,” she testiﬁed. In hopes of leaving the residence safely, she said she told Desharnais she would not tell anyone what happened. She asked Desharnais if she was going to get paid and he said he needed to go to the bank. “I drove him to the bank and he and came out complaining he had a stomach ache. I took him back to his residence and he said he had no money.” The complainant later went to the hospital to seek treatment. Hospital staff then called police. She said as a result of the incident, her back, arms and neck were sore. Her face was also purple from being strangled and duct taped. When asked why she would go back to Desharnais’ home a second time, she said she didn’t think he was capable of what he did. The trial is set to wrap up on Friday. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

during sex. “I told him that I was not comfortable with that and that was the end of the discussion.” She testiﬁed that she left at about 2:30 a.m. on June 4, 2012 without payment. She agreed to return the next day to collect her money. She said she continued to receive text messages from Desharnais until about 5 a.m. “He wanted me to come back but I told him I had to sleep and would come back around noon.” On June 4, 2012, the complainant returned to Desharnais’ home. “We sat and smoked a joint and proceeded to have sex again. When the intercourse ended and I went up to leave, I sat on the edge of the bed. He grabbed both of my arms from behind and he pushed my face into the pillow, put his knee in my back and tied my hands,” she said. The complainant added she tried to scream. “I was screaming what are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? He told me to be quiet and to be a good girl and that he wouldn’t hurt me, but he was already hurting me.” She added Desharnais put his hand over her mouth and nose and she couldn’t breathe. “He placed his hand on my throat and tried to strangle me. I lost consciousness,” she said, adding that she was in and out of consciousness during a period

Celebrating Ste. Jean Baptiste Day in Red Deer Yesterday, June 24th, was an important holiday/day of celebration for a signiﬁcant number of Canadians. It was Ste. Jean Baptiste Day, the feast day for the patron saint for Canadian francophones and also a major nationalist holiday in the province of Quebec (La Fête Nationale). Francophones have been an integral part of the history of this part of the country for at least two centuries. Many of the earliest people involved in the fur trade were French-speaking. In the late 1860s and 1870s, there were large Métis settlements east of Red Deer at Tail Creek and Boss Hill. These settlements largely depended upon buffalo hunting, but were early transportation and trading centres as well. In the late 1870s, another smaller Métis settlement developed at the conﬂuence of the Blindman and Red Deer Rivers. Unfortunately, there are only spotty records of this early settlement. In the early 1880s, Pascal Bonhomme McGillis took

DAWE up residency at the Red Deer River Crossing on one of the ﬁrst farms in the district. In 1882, a sizeable group of settlers from Headingly, Manitoba, established a sawmill, farms, threshing business and other ventures east of Red Deer along the River. Many of the Headingly settlers were anglophones (more accurately known as country-born than Métis), but some such as William Beauchemin, son of Jean Baptiste Beauchemin, were French-speaking Métis. Another early family who settled in North Red Deer and in the Burnt Lake district west of Red Deer was the Narcisse and Marie Marion family. In February 1910, Narcisse was honoured at ﬁrst

French lay priest, brought 15 French families to Red Deer. The local Alberta Advocate newspaper reported that these were ‘of the better class’ of settler and encouraged local merchants to put French signs in the windows to help greet them to the community. Many of these settlers soon moved eastwards to the new hamlet of Content (northeast of the current site of Delburne) as well as the Ewing Lake district east of the Red Deer River. However, Abbé Gaire built a small store in North Red Deer to provide supplies for the new colonists. Also in 1904, the Péres de Ste. Marie de Tinchebray established a large missionary district extending across much of Central Alberta from the Battle River south to Crossﬁeld. Originally, the priests established their head-

quarters in Innisfail, but in 1907-1908 established a new headquarters and missionary centre on the brow of the North Hill in Red Deer. In the fall of 1908, the Tinchebray Fathers were joined by the Filles de la Sagesse (Daughters of Wisdom). The Sisters built the large St. Joseph Convent, which also served as a school and boarding centre, as part of the mission complex on the hill. In 1909, Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church was constructed between the Tinchebray Fathers’ Presbytery and St. Joseph Convent. With the large Roman Catholic mission centre on the North Hill, many Catholic francophone families settled in North Red Deer and surrounding districts. Some were Québécois and Acadian, while others came from France, Belgium and

even Switzerland. The outbreak of the First World War in the summer of 1914 brought an end to this inﬂux of settlers. A great many of French and Belgians rushed back to their homelands to defend them against the invading German armies. Later, many more men enlisted in the Canadian military. Unfortunately, several never returned. Over the succeeding decades, the francophone community remained small. The Ste. Jean Baptiste celebrations were almost always held at the local Roman Catholic Church. However, in the 1930s and 1940s, some local families traveled to such places as Edmonton, St. Paul and Calgary for the larger Ste. Jean Baptiste festivities that were organized in those communities.

CITY BRIEFS FOOD TRUCKS DOWNTOWN The Downtown Business Association invites Red Deerians of all ages downtown on Tuesday nights to the newest hit on the block for families and friends alike – Truck’N Tuesdays. With the latest craze of food trucks, owner of Cool Beans Bus, Kevin Traptow thought it would be a great to launch something a little more family-friendly over the dinner hour during the week in addition to Food Truck Fridays, running every Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ‘We started Food Truck Fridays a year ago with huge success but knew that there were many people, especially families that weren’t able to attend on Fridays over the noon hour, so we put our heads together and came up with Truck’N Tuesdays – a family-friendly food truck affair that takes place weekly – much like Food Truck Fridays,” said Traptow. Every Tuesday night, from 4 to 7 p.m., residents can head down to 4740 - Ross St. for a food truck experience with eats from Cool Beans Bus, The Stache, Chedda’Heads & Peppermint Andy’s Ice Cream Truck. Guests can expect to hear the some fun family music like the Beach Boys and some classic 50’s music. For more information on Truck’N Tuesdays and Food Truck Fridays – go to the facebook page facebook. com/FoodTruckFridayRedDeer.

FCSS ANNOUNCES FUNDING Following a six-month process, Red Deer & District Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) Board is allocating $5.7 million to community organizations to deliver preventive social services. Eighteen local organizations will receive funding over three years ($1.9 million each year of 2015, 2016, and 2017) to support 21 projects designed to enhance social well-being and prevent individuals and families from falling into crisis. Starting in January, applicant organizations went through a rigorous six-month application process which included an interview with the full FCSS Board. Since 2009, there has been no provincial funding increase to FCSS despite increase in population, inﬂationary costs of service and increasing client need.

NEW DANCE CAMP OFFERED Red Deer College has added more diversity to its variety of visual and performing arts summer camps, introducing a new Summer Dance Intensive.

well as possible locations.” The committee will continue to meet on a weekly basis with a goal to take their report to City council in early July. “Our report will include recommendations for size, location, amenities, cost estimate, and phasing of a multi-use aquatic center,” said Lustgarten. “Our group has been working hard to meet our projected timeline and so far we’re on track.” The committee will take into consideration the current and future needs of Red Deer and the information will serve to inform the overall community amenity plan for council.

MULTI-USE AQUATIC CENTRE A City council-appointed committee to advise on a multi-use aquatic centre in Red Deer has been hitting the ground running since its inception. The Red Deer Multi-Use Aquatic Centre Review Ad Hoc Committee was appointed by council on April 14th with their first meeting April 30th. “Our first two weeks as a committee consisted of extensive orientation, learning about current plans, studies, aquatic trends and strategic direction,” said David Lustgarten, chair of the aquatic committee. “So far it’s been a hectic schedule with our committee of 10 meeting at least once a week for several hours at a time.” Once the committee members were up to speed on the background available, the team began to develop principles surrounding what they envision the multi-use centre to encompass. “The principles developed by the committee include accessibility, community focus, fiscal responsibility, and sustainability,” said Lustgarten. “With the four principles in place, we’ve been able to apply them to amenities required inside and potentially outside of the building as

GIRLS’ LACROSSE AT RDC Organizers of a new summer sport program at Red Deer College are aiming to provide increasing opportunities for girls to make positive health and wellness lifestyle choices.

everyone at least once. There is indeed plenty to enjoy from traditional Scottish cultural activities to dancing to contests and lots of tasty foods to try as well. “It is deﬁnitely a family event. Kids love it and it’s absolutely great. You see old people, and young people and kids and everyone,” said Stewart. The Highland Games will be held at the Red Deer Titans Rugby Park, on Range Road 275A. The event goes rain or shine, all day long. Children under 11 pay no admission fee, with entrance tickets available for $10 for seniors and students, $15 for adults and $35 for families. The Games feature a variety of events, including talented Highland dancers. Stewart said there are usually hundreds of people competing in this event. Along with the Highland dancers, there are also a number of ‘heavy events’ – these include the open stone toss, throwing of weights and hammers, tossing a caber (a very large, long wooden pole) and a weight toss for height.

Registering to be an organ donor has never been easier. 14064DG3

Albertans can now register online to become an organ or tissue donor. One donation can save up to eight lives and improve the lives of 75 others. To support the many Albertans who wish to become donors, we’ve created a new online Alberta Organ and Tissue Donation Registry.

With the caber, for example, the attempt begins when the competitor first lifts the caber from the ground. If the competitor drops the small end of the caber back to the ground after having picked it up, this shall count as one attempt. The competitor may take any length of run they wish and may toss the caber from where they choose, as long as it is within the judge‘s boundaries. All of these events are extremely difficult and require massive amounts of strength, he said. “Basically, they are big, strong men and women, of whom about half are professionals,” said Stewart. “These aren’t baseballs. These men and women are extremely strong. “That’s a really good time, because people come from all over to take part. It’s very popular at our Games.” As with any Scottish festival, of course there will be lots of bagpipers and drummers. The pipers and drummers will compete in individual, group and band categories throughout the day. At the end of the Games, the musicians will converge into a large band and march together. As Steward pointed out, it’s a wonderful site to take in. “It is big. And loud. All you can see is a big mass of pipers marching toward you,” laughed Stewart. To add a little bit of sweetness to the day, a traditional shortbread competition will pit bakers against each other, raising funds to ultimately donate to the Red Deer Food Bank. After the competition, the shortbreads are sold off. Also, a delicious pancake breakfast will be offered, he said. “There’s also a tug-owar, which is open to anybody,” said Stewart. “Most of our events, people have to register well in advance, except for the tug of war. If somebody wants to get a group of eight together, they can show up the day of the Games and register,” said Stewart. Meanwhile, with the floods of last year, the Games were quite tame compared to previous years, he said. But this year, the festivities are sure to make up for anything that was lacking in last year’s celebration. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

POLICE BRIEFS RCMP OFFER TIPS TO AVOID VEHICLE THEFT Vehicle thefts are commonplace in most cities and Red Deer is no exception: over the past month, Red Deer RCMP have received approximately 25 to 30 reports of stolen vehicles every week. Despite these numbers, stolen vehicle reports during that time period

by Erin Fawcett

still show a surprising number of Red Deerians leave vehicles unlocked and running, or unlocked with spare keys stored in dashboard compartments or consoles. Since May, at least 11 of the vehicles stolen in Red Deer were left unlocked. At least 17 had spare keys hidden inside the vehicle; at least six were left running while owners went into stores or

their homes, and a few were stolen from garages when thieves found spare vehicle keys hidden in the garage. Please note these are not exact numbers; RCMP believe the number of vehicles stolen under these conditions may be higher than the estimates above, as not all victims report these details when ﬁling complaints about stolen vehicles.

RCMP recommendations to help prevent vehicle theft include locking your vehicle every time you step away from it; do not leave your vehicle running, even if it’s locked; do not leave keys in the ignition while fuelling up or inﬂating tires at gas stations; do not keep spare keys hidden in your vehicle or in your garage; always lock your garage and lock the door between attached garages and homes and do not leave valuables in sight in your vehicle.

A Lacombe County man is dead following an ATV accident over the weekend. On June 21st at 2:37 a.m., Sylvan Lake RCMP were dispatched to the scene of a single vehicle ATV collision north of the Town of Bentley on RR 12. Upon arrival, members located an ATV on its side in the ditch of the road but did not immediately locate the driver. As the investigation commenced, members located a man severely injured 100m away from the ATV. RCMP members started CPR on the man until EMS and Bentley Fire arrived on scene and took over. The man was pronounced dead a short time later on scene by EMS. The deceased is identiﬁed as 55-year-old Al Tudhope of Lacombe County. It appears he was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision however it was found a short distance from him when members arrived. The investigation is continuing but police believe alcohol may have been a factor.

MAN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER A Pine Lake man is facing attempted murder charges after an incident earlier this month. On June 2nd at 4:15 a.m., Innisfail RCMP officers responded to a report of a male shot in the rural Pine Lake area. The victim was transported to the hospital by EMS. The person responsible and victim are believed to be known to each other. On June 21st RCMP laid charges in relation to this report of a male shot. Cory Lavallee of Pine Lake was arrested near Bashaw, with the assistance of the RCMP Emergency Response Team and the RCMP Serious Crimes Branch. He has been charged with attempted murder, using a firearm in the commission of an offence and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

SUSPECT SOUGHT AFTER ROBBERY Red Deer RCMP are searching for a man who attempted to rob the TD Bank in the Village Mall at 6320 50 Ave. last week. At around 5:15 p.m. on June 18th, a man entered the bank and passed a note to a teller demanding $2,000 cash. When the teller could not access that amount of cash and called a supervisor over, the suspect left the bank. One other customer was in the bank at the time. Witnesses did not see a weapon and the suspect was seen leaving the area on foot, walking north. No one was injured in this attempted

robbery and the suspect left with no money. Police patrols of the area did not locate the suspect, and Police Dog Services were not able to track the suspect due to weather conditions and trafﬁc. The suspect is described as about 30-years-old with a heavy build (180-200 lbs). He was wearing a brown ball cap and a red t-shirt.

École Barrie Wilson School opens this fall BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express The keys have been ofﬁcially presented for the brand new French immersion public school, École Barrie Wilson School. In a ceremony last week, the keys were handed to Principal Chris Good, while the man whose name is carried on the school, Barrie Wilson, stood happily nearby. “This is very, very humbling, let me tell you. It’s really humbling. There are so many outstanding educators with whom I’ve worked over the years, and I think I’m just a product of the beneﬁts of learning from them,” said Wilson. He taught in the Red Deer public school system for over 30 years as an educator and principal. He is currently retired, but still

has a great depth of interest in the development of Red Deer’s school systems. Wilson expressed his conﬁdence in the leadership of Good, and was pleased to note that his daughter would be among the teachers employed at the school. The French immersion school has programs from pre-Kindergarten to Grade 5, and also features a brand new branch of the Red Deer Public Library. The classrooms are designed to initially provide space for 500 students, although some of the classrooms are expandable so as to make room for up to 600 children. The school features 20 spacious classrooms, a large gymnasium and a large library. Desks, chairs, books, school supplies and other amenities will be added as part of an ongoing process leading up to

the ofﬁcial ﬁrst day of Sept. 2nd. Bev Manning, Red Deer Public School District Chair was also present at the ceremony, and is eager for the halls to be full of people. “You go to schools all the time, and you can sort of feel the culture that develops over time. These kids will be breaking ground and developing a new culture and home here, at École Barrie Wilson,” Manning said. Good is looking forward to breaking in his position after spending the last year overseeing the development of the school

as district administrator for Red Deer Pubic Schools. “All the work, all of the things we’re doing are all about the students that are going to be attending here. We do have some focus areas, such as project-based learning, and have access to state-of-the-art technologies as a new school.” Colette Pedde will be transferring from her job as vice-principal of Mattie McCullough Elementary School to resume the same position at Barrie Wilson. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church in need of restorative work Fundraising efforts geared towards restoring local historic building continue BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Set in the heart of Red Deer, St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church is certainly a kind of monument to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early settlers. But these days the beautiful church, built in 1899 and known as the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest standing church, is in need of various types of renovations, and Rev. Noel Wygiera and his congregation are calling on the community to lend a hand in raising funds towards that end. Recently, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Raise the Roofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign helped bring in the funds necessary to repair the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roof, but there is other restorative and engineering work that needs to be done, said Wygiera. The Raise the Roof campaign began last fall within the congregation itself, and had a target of $30,000 to raise, said Wygiera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty per cent of our $30,000 was raised internally,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was this past April that we went public with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With community donations and a bequest on behalf of a former parishioner, there was an additional $12,000 to $13,000 raised.â&#x20AC;? But as Wygiera pointed out, the roof is the tip of the iceberg. He added that the appeal for funds will continue even after the roof work is completed so as to help raise money for external structural work on the building, as well as work to preserve the sandstone. The building, which has been designated as a Provincial Historic Resource, features an exterior of locally-quarried sandstone, and is an example of late 19th century neogothic architecture. In 1899, Canon Joshua Hinchliffe arrived in Red Deer as rector of the parish of St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Schooled in England, he was an architect and a master stone mason and carpenter. As St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to pay for a full-time priest, Hinchliffe worked during the week at the Piper Brickyard.

Initially, the Edmonton ďŹ rm of Edminston and Johnson prepared designs for St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Then under Hinchliffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supervision, construction began in 1899. According to church documents, as the congregation couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford bricks from the Piper Yard, sandstone from the local Reinholt Quarry was used instead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They started building on the east end of the church and worked towards the west.â&#x20AC;? The sandstone was cut and prepared by members of the parish. And eventually, the building was opened on Nov. 4th, 1900 and a consecration service was held in 1902, he said. St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was fully completed in 1906. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People worked really hard to make this happen.â&#x20AC;? As the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church building is indeed a provincial treasure and a crown jewel among Red Deerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic resources.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raising public awareness about the restoration projects has also bolstered awareness about the church in general, said Wygiera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to open up the facility more for people.â&#x20AC;? For example, the Wild Rose Harmonizers recently performed there. And another local congregation uses the building on Sunday afternoons. Wygiera wants to see more of that sharing of the church down the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be able to offer it back to the community as a whole. And we want the community to know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here to use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see it being used every day of the week.â&#x20AC;? For more information about the fundraising efforts, or to support the fundraising in any way, call 403-346-3402, email ofďŹ ce@oldchurchrd.com, or donations can also be mailed to St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church at 4929 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 54 St. The postal code is T4N 2G7. Cheques should be made payable to St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Local MP sees bill become law under the Criminal Code Earl Dreeshen, MP for Red Deer, saw his Private Members Bill C-444 land Royal Assent last week and become law under the Canadian Criminal Code. “I am extremely pleased that my Private Member’s Bill has officially become law,” said Dreeshen, who previously introduced similar legislation in October of 2010 which ultimately died on the order paper. “I have received a tremendous amount of support from my colleagues in all parties in the House of Commons and the Senate, as well as from the public safety community and everyday Canadians.” Dreeshen introduced Bill C-444, an act to amend the Criminal Code, on Sept. 27th, 2012. The purpose of the bill is to establish that personating a peace officer or a public officer to commit another offence shall be considered by a court to be an aggravating circumstance. Personating an officer is currently punishable up to a maximum of five years imprisonment under Section 130 of the Criminal Code. Aggravating circumstances cause judges to impose longer sentences up to respective maximums. “Bill C-444 is a welcome addition to the

Criminal Code of Canada,” added Shelly Glover, minister of Canadian Heritage and the Official Languages and MP for Saint Boniface. The 19-year veteran Winnipeg police officer and member of the Conservative Law Enforcement Officers Caucus continued, “This law serves an important dual purpose of supporting victims of crime as well as maintaining the integrity of those officers who keep our streets and communities safe everyday.” Bill C-444 passed through both chambers with unanimous, all-party support. Dreeshen has spoken many times in the House of Commons in support of victims of crime and of the importance of preserving the public’s respect and compliance for officers. He said he is happy that serious crimes where personating an officer is used to facilitate or enhance a crime will now be viewed under a sharper lens. For victims of crime, this bill highlights the seriousness of maintaining confidence in public officers. It further acknowledges that for some victims, without the deception of an individual personating a public officer, they

would never have been put into a situation where they become victims in the ﬁrst place. Bill C-444 went through the parliamentary processes over the past couple of years. It passed three readings in the House of Commons along with Parliamentary

committee presentations before facing the same scrutiny in the Senate. After receiving Royal Assent last week, Bill C-444 has become one of a select few Private Member’s Bills in history to change the Criminal Code of Canada. - Weber

Green Deer’s impact in the City The City’s 2014 Green Deer program was a success with a record number of participants in the annual City clean up that ran from April 14 until June 15th. Businesses, community associations, schools, clubs, churches, families and individuals all volunteered to clean up garbage that accumulated in neighbourhoods and parks over the winter.

Green Deer continues to focus on cigarette butts and the harmful effects they can have on the environment, as they do not biodegrade. The number of businesses participating is up year over year with many local businesses allowing time for staff to go outside and help keep Red Deer beautiful with a spring cleanup in their business parking lots and surrounding areas.

Now that Green Deer is wrapped up, there are other ways for Red Deerians to keep the City green. The Adopt-A-Park program runs year-round with groups making a commitment to being stewards of a park for an entire year.Call Recreation, Parks & Culture at 403-342-8234. The Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up is occurring on Sept. 7th as well. -Weber

United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online database expands into Central Alberta BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express Staff at the United Way announced 211.ca last week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an online database that provides detailed information for more than 1,600 programs and services in Central Alberta. The site is designed to help connect citizens to services for issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health assistance, social services and ďŹ nancial services among many more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is a momentous day. Now we have access to (over 1,600 services) 24/7 and (211.ca) is completely conďŹ dential. You get lots of information on community, health and services,â&#x20AC;? said United Way Canada CEO Robert Mitchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came in almost three years ago and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why this is a momentous day. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working hard to bring this here. We can see such a beneďŹ t. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a win-win situation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win for United Way, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out in the community, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win for the community because they have access to all this information.â&#x20AC;? 211.ca also has a telephone counterpart that is currently unavailable speciďŹ c to the Central Alberta area. Citizens in the Central Alberta region may still dial 211, but will be directed through call centres in Cal-

gary and Edmonton until funding has been placed to create a speciďŹ c Central Alberta call centre. Joining Mitchell at the 211.ca launch was Mayor Tara Veer, Red Deer north MLA Mary Anne Jablonski, a number of City councilors and representatives from The Support Network in Edmonton and the Distress Centre in Calgary. Thanks were given to the volunteers of United Way who came together with The Support Network and Distress Centre to lay the foundation of the initiative and to help create and maintain a seamless viewing of data on the web site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on the provincial steering committee for a long time, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting to see some of the roll outs now,â&#x20AC;? said Nancy McCalder, executive director of The Support Network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other side of course is the 24/7 telephone service and that service is answered by staff who are specialists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just an operator â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone who can assess the needs of the caller.â&#x20AC;? What McCalder meant by, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assessing the needs of the callerâ&#x20AC;? is that sometimes people may call thinking that they know the service they require. However, some categories of care can be broken down into multiple areas that require speciďŹ c attention.

For example, a person seeking information on shelters may also require a place to ďŹ nd food, get access to government funding, mental or physical health needs, counseling and childcare assistance. For this reason, 211.ca is designed to help guide users online to ďŹ nding the most appropriate agency. Calling 211 and speaking with someone will raise the chances of ďŹ nding an appropriate program.

The 211.ca representatives also ask, if callers are willing, to provide a followup to ensure that a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs were met, and they were able to ďŹ nd the proper assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a look at the database, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get just a phone number or web site. You get details about the organization and about the programs and services and afďŹ liations they have,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can see any pro-

fessional services, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re located, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any referrals needed and the times theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really detailed information. Hopefully, this will be helpful to health workers, social workers, teachers or anyone who wants to ďŹ nd information like this.â&#x20AC;? 211.ca also helps remove some pressure from City ofďŹ cials and emergency service operators between re-directing callers to an appropriate organization.

Businesses who take part in the 211 databases are required to maintain updated information to ensure the accuracy of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put a lot of work into this and we would love to have the full service, but this is the ďŹ rst stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The phone service is the next step. This is really great for the whole region, particularly rural regions I think,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Singer Brett Kissel featured at Westerner Days Young emerging country star to feature songs from his latest disc BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Canadian country singer Brett Kissel will be showcasing tunes from his latest project Started With a Song at this year’s Westerner Days. Sharing the stage with Tim Hicks who also has a set that night, Kissel performs July 16th on the ATB Financial Main Stage. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with showtime at 8:30 p.m. Kissel will also be returning to Red Deer later this year, when he joins Brad Paisley at the Centrium on Oct. 9th. He’s excited about both opportunities to connect with fans, and explains how particularly the show with Paisley marks a personal milestone. Kissel met Paisley during a meet-and-greet 10 years ago when he was just 14 years old. Paisley wrote him a message about how some day, Paisley would save him a spot on a tour. Talk about a dream come true. “Fast forward 10 years almost to the day, and I’ll be touring with him coast to coast,” he said. “Brad Paisley has been one of my favourite artists for my entire career. So when I got that call, it was hard to keep my feet on the ground and not jump up and down for joy because it’s one of the best opportunities I’ve ever had.” Originally from Flat Lake, Alberta, Kissel has released two indie albums, sold out countless shows and earned two Canadian Country Music Association Award nominations, becoming its youngest nominee ever. His latest CD, the aforementioned Started With A Song, was released last fall. Positive response was almost immediate - the video for the debut single reached number one at CMT, he has scored three top 10 radio hits and he headlined a crossCanada tour. He also won his ﬁrst Juno Award – becoming the ﬁrst country artist to be awarded with Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 17 years. Started With a Song was co-produced by Kissel with Ted Hewitt and Bart McKay. “That album changed my life,” he said. “A lot of people that have seen me performing around Alberta know that I have a deep connection with traditional coun-

try. So the previous albums I made weren’t necessarily for radio, they were to pay tribute to my roots.” The plan with Started With A Song was a bit different. He said during production the team wanted to create tunes that would really pop on radio as well. No question they have succeeded. “The doors have opened up and there have been opportunities I would have never believed coming our way.” A passion for music was sparked early on. And his folks have pointed out that he’s been an attention-seeker his whole life. “I craved the spotlight. Any opportunity to stand up on the couch and belt out a tune when I was three or four years old, I always took.” He was given a guitar as seven and it wasn’t long before a gift for making music was very apparent. At 10, he was playing three-chord Johnny Cash songs at talent shows. “When I was 12 and I got a $50 honourarium to play for a local 4H Club – I realized I could do this for a living,” he chuckled. “Usually it took me two birthdays and a really generous tooth fairy to make $50. And I made that in 20 minutes just playing and singing songs? I was over the moon.” One thing was for certain – there was no looking back. Kissel said he’s always felt very much at home onstage. “Music is the only thing I’ve every really wanted to do. “And being onstage is my favourite thing – there is nowhere else I’d rather be. Being able to entertain is the best thing in the world. There is no way to describe that feeling.” At ﬁrst, opting for a musician’s life may have caused his parents – both teachers – a few sleepless nights. They were always supportive of his music, but also believed in the practicality of post-secondary education towards a career. “But the minute I was out of high school, I went straight to a concert – I played a gig in Grande Prairie and I’ve never looked back. I’ve been riding that bus ever since.” Meanwhile, several tracks on Starting With A Song delve into his experiences and reﬂections. Country In My Blood was written about the cattle ranch that has been in his family for over a century. Then there is the ballad Together

Anyone interested in ﬂexing their ‘theatrical muscles’ may wish to check out the newlyformed Red Deer Players Society.

Highlights this season also include Pull Up the Drawbridge by the late Kib Kildare, Mystery by Blaine Newton, a Christmas pantomime called Snow White and the Seven Nobbits by Albert Azzara, and a cabaret which features a fun-ﬁlled evening of entertainment.

Sentimental young love drama Alf

CRYDERMAN The Fault in Our Stars 20th Century Fox Rating: PG 125 minutes The countless fans of John Green’s bestselling novel are happy to see that the ﬁlm of The Fault in Our Stars sticks to the book and delivers a wonderful story. It’s a sentimential tearjerker, but still a heartwarming story about young love, and life and death. Hazel (Shailene Woodley) is a 16-year-old ﬁghting thyroid cancer that’s moved into her lungs with the help of a new drug, but knows her time is limited. At a cancer support group she meets Gus (Ansel Elgort), also a cancer survivor, cocky and charming despite loosing a leg. She worries about hurting him, but

a loving and positive, if doomed, relationship ensues, including an idyllic trip to Amsterdam to meet the author of Hazel’s favourite cancer book (Willem Dafoe). Even if you haven’t read the book, there are not many surprises in the plot. However, it is a very pleasant and often realistic look at two young people falling in love for the ﬁrst time. Woodley is wonderful, a talented young actress who doesn’t strike a false note for over two hours. Laura Dern is strong as her sad and protective mother. There is that old Hollywood problem of dying people who actually look quite healthy, and the ending drags a bit, but this is enjoyable cinema. There were lots of laughs and little sighs of satisfaction from the audience, many obviously very familiar with the story. There were lots of sobs too, so don’t forget to bring a hankie.

The right workout shoe makes a difference Ask your feet and they’ll tell you without hesitation - your choice of workout shoes is an important decision. Your shoes can either improve your performance or increase your risk of pain and injury. How can you make sure you choose the right shoe? Do you wear what’s in your closet or should you buy a new pair? If it’s time to go shoe shopping, you may have a difﬁcult time narrowing down your choice to one pair as dozens of brands, prices, and styles of shoes line store shelves. While difﬁcult to decide, you don’t want to make the costly mistake of wearing the wrong kind. Here are the most common workout shoe mistakes and how to make sure you’re wearing the right pair. Whether you’re new to exercise or have been working out for years, it’s easy to make the mistake of wearing an old pair of sneakers to the gym. Maybe they’re your standby for exercise and you’ve had them so long you don’t know what a new pair of shoes would feel like.

Jack

WHEELER Unfortunately, after being worn for a long period of time, shoes begin to lose their support. Even if they still look brand new or have never been worn to run in, they may still lack their original support. Simple, everyday activities can wear down the support. For those new to exercise or those who’ve been exercising for years, the risk of pain or injury increases with an old pair of shoes. Don’t wait until your shoes look old or dirty to buy a new pair. Runners should be sure to get new kicks every 300 to 500 miles. If you don’t keep track of your miles, here’s a good rule to follow: Everyday exercisers replace shoes every six months. Occasional exercisers replace shoes once a year.

There’s no one-shoe-fits-all shoe solution when it comes to sports. A running shoe is made differently than a shoe for tennis, walking, or volleyball. Running shoes have no lateral support because you don’t move side to side, whereas in other sports you need that lateral stability. So obviously, your feet need different types of support depending on the activity you’re doing. For someone who does a little of everything and isn’t concerned with performance, cross-trainers may be a good option. Look for cross-trainers that have a firm heel, are lightweight, and provide adequate support. Wearing the right shoe gets even more complicated than tossing the wrong. It’s not just about choosing the right type of shoe for your sport, but choosing the right type of shoe for your foot and gait as well. For running, you can’t just choose a shoe that’s labeled for running and think you’re good to go. Specific shoes are made to support your particular foot shape and running style.

And don’t make the mistake of buying shoes based on their appearance. Instead, go to a specialty shoe store and have a professional salesperson help you find the shoe that truly fits. A knowledgeable salesperson will take three measurements of your foot (its length, width, and arch) to determine your shoe size. The shoe guru should also evaluate the way your foot hits the ground when you walk or run. Some people’s feet supinate or under-pronate (roll outward), some over-pronate (roll inward), and some have neutral pronation when their feet hit the ground. Under-pronated and over-pronated feet require extra support to avoid injury. This knowledge can help you find the shoe that truly fits. Old shoes, wrong shoes, and the wrong type of right shoes are three common mistakes people make. Ensure a pain-free workout by wearing shoes made for your foot and your activity of choice.

For the right diagnosis, consult a dog Skin cancer is one of the most preventable types of malignancy. But according to The Cancer Society, it is also one of the fastest increasing malignancies. For instance, the incidence of new cases is now greater than the combined number of new breast, lung, prostate and colon cancers. Ask most authorities why this is happening and they’ll say it’s because of too much exposure to the sun. Dr. Allan Halpern, chief of dermatology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York City, warns parents that children who get sunburns at an early age, the severe ones they never forget, are at greater risk. So are those who have worked outdoors for a number of years. Halpern adds that people who have 50 or more moles on their body are also at

Dr. Gifford

JONES greater risk of developing melanoma. And the risk increases if you have red or blond hair, blue or green eyes, or tend to burn easily. It’s also safer to not have freckles. The male ‘macho image’ or the thought ‘It won’t happen to me’ means men are at a greater risk than women. Men spend more time outside, are less likely to use clothing protection or sunscreen. So melanoma experts say we should listen to Rudyard Kipling’s advice to prevent skin cancer. The English

novelist wrote, “Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun.” But the problem isn’t so easily solved when doctors look at a mole and wonder, “Is it benign or malignant?” Sometimes the answer is as easy as rolling off a log, as the appearance is dramatic. But by that time the malignancy may have already spread. Remember, melanomas come in a variety of colours. Some are black and darker around the outside. Others contain a mixture of colours, white, purple, blue or red. Nearly all dangerous moles have irregular or indeﬁnite margins. Most are larger than the rubber end of a pencil. And a red light should ﬂash if a mole becomes itchy, grows larger, or bleeds. A good treatment approach is the old surgical

maxim, ‘When in doubt, cut it out.’ This would save some lives, particularly when it’s easy to miss this important diagnosis. One study showed that plastic surgeons, surgeons and even dermatologists missed the diagnosis of melanoma in 35% of cases. Harry Truman, the straight-talking former president of the United States, once remarked, “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” Today, we could add that, “If you want to get an early diagnosis of a melanoma, forget the Harvard Medical School graduate, consult a dog.” In 1989 the British Journal Lancet reported that a female half-border Collie was a woman’s best friend. Her dog kept snifﬁng at a

mole on her thigh, but ignored other moles. In fact, amazingly, the dog once tried to bite off the mole when she was wearing shorts. Fortunately she consulted her doctor, the mole was excised and the diagnosis conﬁrmed a malignant melanoma. So what makes dogs so intelligent? A dog’s nose has 220 million cells to detect odours compared to our mere ﬁve million cells. Dr. Larry Meyers, associate professor at the Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine in Auburn, Alabama, has been testing the smelling capabilities of 4,000 dogs for over 20 years. He says their smell is so sensitive that they can detect either a single chemical or a combination of them. Meyers shoots down a

common myth that only bloodhounds track down criminals. He says he has tested miniature poodles who could give bloodhounds a run for their money. So if you have a mole and know a dog trained in melanoma detection, forget the dermatologist. In one study, tissue samples of excised melanoma were obtained from two hospitals. A schnauzer dog who had been trained to detect melanoma was able to differentiate them 99% of the time! Since most of us don’t own a trained schnauzer, it’s prudent to do an annual check of your body for moles. And if ever in doubt, have it cut out. See the web site www.docgiff.com.

FAIR FIGHT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wilson Vinoya, from Black Dragon Martial Arts in Red Deer throws a punch at Stephen Kung out of Arashido Martial Arts in Edmonton. Kung recovered from the hit and went onto win the match to be the champion of the ModiďŹ ed Muay Thai 155 lb. class during Cheneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zen Karate and Kickboxingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Fights 22 hosted at the Sheraton Hotel this past Saturday. Jenna Swan/Red Deer express

Former RDC soccer player describes his new mission BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple idea which carries with it a vast richness of reward and it seems to be catching on. Former Red Deer College soccer player Nick Moskulak was on vacation in Morocco with his girlfriend when they observed some children playing soccer with a combination of string, plastic, rubber and a bag, all taped up to resemble a ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we were eating dinner we watched these kids play and they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier with what they had but with both of us being soccer players, we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave knowing they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a proper ball,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we went and found one in one of the shops and gave it to them.â&#x20AC;? That really got the ball rolling in an effort to connect with other travelers and make this into something bigger than the

two of them. This was really the birth of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Ball is Roundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which simply described is purchasing soccer balls of all types and sending them with travelers to different locations around the world to gift them to young boys and girls who could use something to kick around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both really passionate about children and sport and the power of what sport can do for children and not just competitive sport, just activity. I really believe that strong learners come from active bodies,â&#x20AC;? said the physical education teacher. Since that ďŹ rst opportunity in Morocco, Moskulak says more than 50 balls have been handed out through the organization and the reaction is generally the same by those doing the giving and the young children doing the receiving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no words needed. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to explain to someone what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re do-

ing, even if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak the language, they know you are giving them a ball to play with. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really an amazingly powerful feeling of connecting with another person on a level which is so basic.â&#x20AC;? The sensation he felt from this ďŹ rst occasion repeats itself each time and Moskulak says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now the same for the travelers he supplies with soccer balls to hand out to kids when they go on vacation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every person who has bought a ball from us says weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do that again.â&#x20AC;? Recently a woman took soccer balls to Guatemala to give to a boarding school. The school had a boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team but the girls couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play when the boys played because the school had only one soccer ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So one of the balls she brought with her was this really nice pink ball and when the girls saw that ball they were hysterical because not only was she bringing them a

ball but they knew that ball was for them and it would only be for them.â&#x20AC;? Moskulak says if those turn out to be the last three soccer balls he gives out then heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be ďŹ ne with that simply because of how this simple gesture turned around a portion of the lives of these young girls. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been under a year since â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Ball is Roundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kicked off and various soccer balls have made their way to young boys and girls around the world covering 16 countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things I love about this is that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to send a thousand soccer balls, one ball is so powerful. You can have one ball and you have 30 or 40 kids playing. You now have given an opportunity for a whole village to play, not just that one child,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not curing disease or famine, but giving kids the ability to play I think is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.â&#x20AC;? sports@reddeerexpress.com

Lacrosse’s local appeal is growing stronger BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Even though the game of lacrosse is the ofﬁcial national sport of our country it seems it gets overshadowed by that ‘other’ national sport. But while the game will likely never reach the status of hockey in Canada there are signs the game of lacrosse is drawing more players and achieving some measure of success in this region, sports ofﬁcials say. One example would be the increase in the number of players in Red Deer looking to raise the level of their game with various provincial teams.

“Five players tried out and all ﬁve players made Team Alberta,” said Red Deer Lacrosse president Jon Lewis. “That makes us pretty happy seeing as we have one from pretty much every age group.” Carrying the Red Deer colours are Tyler Clarkson for Peewee, Logan Clarkson for Bantam, Carson Stuve for Midget along with Adrienne Boudreau for Bantam girls and Emma Kooiman making it for the Midget girls. The game was quite strong in Red Deer during the 90s but then had a bit of a drop off before making a comeback over the last couple of years. The Association implemented some spe-

cialty camps for the kids to go to in the summer time and in late winter, just before the regular season starts, there are another set of camps, said Lewis. “It’s really helped our sport a lot. The kids have really taken to it and you can see it out on the ﬁeld and obviously it’s shown as we have kids competing for these positions on the Alberta teams.” Another factor in the growth of lacrosse would be the mentorship program where players who have come up through the Red Deer system give back to the program by helping at camps for younger players who can relate more closely to someone they have seen play locally. “Every time I go to a meeting, whether

it’s one of our own meetings or the Alberta Lacrosse Association AGMs, the talk is always how we are just one big family and how everybody is there to help each other out,” said Lewis. “The more we feel like a big family the more people will want to get involved in the sport.” With things moving in the right direction Lewis ﬁgures a little more exposure will see the number of players getting involved rise from the approximately 600 registered now. “We just need more people to talk about it and enjoy it and the more they enjoy it, the more they’ll talk about it.” sports@reddeerexpress.com

Young women are shining on the golf circuit It was a special kind of weekend for the LPGA circuit. For the ladies who play on the tour, it’s always been second fiddle to the boys on the PGA but this weekend the light shone brightly on the women and not the men. First off, Michelle Wie finally broke the goose egg by winning her first major title. Now many might think it’s about time because

JIM

CLAGGETT she’s been so close and never won even though she’s been on the tour for a number of years. Well, a little perspective

is needed here. Wie has indeed been around for awhile but as a teenager for the most part of that time. The 24-year-old was always pushed into the golf stratosphere because of her talent, and so many condemned her as a chronic failure for not winning. This victory over the best of the LPGA might be the push back into the light and it seems she now has the complete game to make

the naysayers change their tune. Secondly, we can’t pass over the image of 11-yearold Lucy Li who teed it up with the rest of the U.S. Open ﬁeld which could have been her babysitters instead of playing partners. Now that’s a play date! I especially liked the fact she continued to lick her ice cream cone while being grilled by the press after round one. It would have been nice

to see her smile a little bit more but the kid has got talent. I just hope she doesn’t follow the same path as Wie was directed to follow and instead the golﬁng know-italls will really allow her to be a kid who can play some golf and not hoist her up on the ‘next one’ pedestal. Lastly, it was a nice touch to have the ladies play the same course for their open championship as the men just a week after.

It might be a trend to catch on as it gave the fans a look at the course from two different perspectives and also allowed for some comparisons on the shots made into and around the greens. Kudos to the ladies of the LPGA and if the tour comes back to Edmonton again, go out and watch the girls play. They can knock it around pretty darn good. sports@reddeerexpress.com

COLOUR CONTRAST – The striking red accents in this Landmark Group Clearmont at Clearview Ridge show home perfectly displays how a dash of bold colour can compliment any design. Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express

Garnering outside influence in choosing decor Have you ever noticed that when you are with a certain group of people for a long period of time, your tastes and styles begin to align? I think this is more accurate for women than men but if you look around at the five people closest to you, you notice some consistencies. In fact, you may be the exact middle ground of your friends in terms of income, education level and style of dress. You will enjoy similar restaurants and entertainment choices and you may find yourself designing your home like your friend just did, yet you would vehemently deny it if asked! When clients seek me out, it is often on the heels of a friend’s renovation or their sister’s new

Kim

MECKLER build and our conversation is usually ﬁlled with ‘she has this colour’ or ‘my neighbour put in this ﬂooring.’ It is a common phenomenon we all participate in when we see items or lifestyle choices our friends are making. The simplest item such as a new shade of lipstick that looks amazing on your girlfriend may not look as fetching on you. If your co-worker smells delicious in a new fragrance, your chemistry may not

mix as well with that scent. You may want to decorate your home just like your friends yet your house style as well as your personal style may not work. The simple thing is, we see something that someone has and we want it. We have been like this ever since we were kids and now that we are grown up when we see something we desire, we either go out and buy it or try to emulate it. We either see the success or hear the wonderful stories and our natural reaction is to want that in our lives. Hopefully if you ﬁnd yourself in this situation you are still working to make elements your own and not an exact copy of anyone else.

If you are building or renovating, take notes of what people close to you are doing or have done in their homes. It is perfectly okay to take elements that you love and add them to your overall theme as long as you are staying true to what you love and still incorporating elements that speak of who you are. I went to a friend’s house and secretly drooled over her pure white furniture with vibrant pops of yellow blended with grey. Her whole house is so glam and I walked around taking mental notes for my next project which was my basement. When I got into the project I realized that my tastes move to richer deeper tones and more Tuscan inspired

items – glam rooms are not me. I did glitz up the bathroom a tad but still laid a vinyl replicating old wide plank hardwood as juxtaposition to the polish white and chrome. Her house is hers and even though I think her style is fabulous, it isn’t my house. So take a look at the ﬁve closest people around you and glean a little insight from each of them regarding personal style, money management and most importantly of all designing your home! You can learn from the success of your inner circle as you plan to go forward with your own home project and make it wonderfully your own.

Owning a house compared to renting one Even in a strong market like our current one, there are still some savers out there that prefer to hold on their cash than to put those funds to work with buying a home. Lets have a quick look at comparing owning vs. renting. To be more accurate for the ﬁrst time buyer, let’s compare a home valued at $270,000 as most of my ﬁrst time buyer clients are buying between $220,000 and $320,000. A two to three bedroom

If you were to purchase the home for $270,000, you would have a payment of only $1,276/month (plus taxes and utilities), based on a 25-year amortization, 5% down payment and an interest rate of 2.99%. If values went up even only 1%, you’d earn $2,700 on your property, but you’ll also have paid down your mortgage about $9,000, and after the ﬁfth year, you’ll have paid it down over $40,000! And if values only went up 1% a year for ﬁve years

Jean-Guy

TURCOTTE townhouse, is currently renting in Red Deer for about $1,350-$1,900, based on information I found on Kijiji, which is going to put us in the average of $270,000 range.

your home would be worth $283,500 earning you equity of just over $52,000, can you do that renting?

“OBVIOUSLY THE BENEFITS OF OWNING FAR OUTWEIGH THOSE OF RENTING.” What I haven’t mentioned yet is the savings that today’s interest rate environment offers you. Pre-recession interest rates were much higher than today’s, and the aver-

age 10-year interest rate before September 2008 was 5.35% (Statscan) for the same fully discounted wholesale rate that’s offered today, go back 20 years for the same period, and the rate is 5.80% (Statscan). Your parents would tell you even that is a great interest rate! The same $270,000 house, if rates went back up to 5.35% would cost you an extra $265/month if that was the only thing that changed, meaning an ex-

tra $13,600 in the first five years. And that’s all interest cost – which no one likes, and banks love! Obviously the benefits of owning far outweigh those of renting and interest rates are still amazingly low, if you have the ability to purchase, now’s a great time to do some market research to see if owning is for you.

Rejuventating your deck for the summer season Summer is here and you are looking at your deck or patio and wondering how much longer it’s going to last. Is it starting to splinter? Are the stones rough and painful to walk on? How are you going to ﬁnd the time or money to ﬁx it without cutting into your free time or without blowing the budget? It’s no secret that a deck replacement is a big investment – one many of us like to avoid where possible. So, before you dig into your wallet or get out the sledge hammer, make sure you’ve explored your options.

First, start by checking your deck or patio carefully to make sure the structural integrity is sound. Improving the look of a deck that is damaged won’t extend its life. The same goes for a path or patio that has heaved excessively over the winter or is full of puddles after it rains. In those cases, a more signiﬁcant repair, or replacement, is needed.

A SMALL REPAIR Sometimes the entire deck isn’t in need of an update, just certain trouble spots.

In this case, there’s no reason to do an overhaul – just a simple touch up is needed. For example, if you’re experiencing cracks in cement or divots in your wood, there are a number of ﬁller solutions available today that can help combat these issues.

A FRESH LOOK If your wooden deck is still structurally sound but visibly in need of help, it may be time to consider a fresh stain. When taking on a stain project be sure to properly prep and ﬁnish your surfaces – cleaning and sanding prior to staining, and using a quality clear coat or sealer following application, will provide the best results and longer-lasting protection.

A FIRM FIX

Carpet/Tile

If your deck is beyond simple beautiﬁcation, but structurally sound, the answer may be to ‘restore’ it. There are a number

of ways to do this, say the experts. For example, new products available on the market such as Restore (by Rust-Oleum) are allowing homeowners to update the look and durability of their decks without having to replace. And what most people love is that it’s thicker than most other deck coatings. This allows it to be applied right onto existing surfaces without stripping or sealing. “Restore is an advanced coating designed to reinvigorate your wooden decks, concrete patios and even vertical surfaces such as retaining walls,” said Lawrence Genga, the senior director of marketing and research and development at RustOleum Consumer Brands Canada. “Its thick application ﬁlls in imperfections, locks down splinters, and provides lasting protection against moisture and the damaging effects of the sun. “It’s also slip-resistant.” www.newscanada.com
