Music a weapon for Tim Neufield and the Glory Boys STACEY LAVALLIE WEEKENDER REPORTER While it was full of stereotypical Canadiana, the short film showed by performer Tim Neufield and his band, the Glory Boys, drew laughter from the crowd gathered to see them perform at Stettler Alliance Church on Tuesday, Sept. 22. What most people didn’t realize at first was that the bright, cheery and funny story had a dark and seedy underside. The video, a sleek, professionally shot short film, showed Neufield and a fellow band member on a dusty roadway in Cambodia, playing hockey with ministicks with poverty-struck children. The children were laughing, playing, and learning about hockey and Canada and being what Canadians would consider very normal. The fact was, these children lived in poverty that “would shock Canadians,� Neufield said. He and his band are ambassadors for World Vision, working through their performances to help foster children. All of the children the band try to help are specifically from Cambodia. “We went to (World Vision) and asked them, ‘what country needs the most help?’ We thought it would take a while for them to respond,� Neufield recalled. “Instead, they immediately said Cambodia.� While most people are familiar with World Vision’s sponsorship tactics — the flies crawling on hungry, bony children with bellies distended for lack of nutritious food — Neufield said he wanted to show Canadians and Americans, as well as the other countries in which he performs — children they could relate with. “I wouldn’t say it’s ‘easy’ to not sponsor a child when you see those videos,� he said. “Of course, you feel sorry for them. But you can’t relate to them. We wanted people to relate to the children
in our videos.� But poverty and hunger isn’t what makes Cambodia such an urgent quest for World Vision. No, the reason is more sinister and horrifying, and almost completely driven by the first world, western countries. And that reason is sex tourism — in specific, sex tourism with children. The south-east Asian country is home to more than 15 million people, with an estimated 1.2 million children enslaved in sex-trafficking rings. The average age that people who report sexual abuse in Cambodia is 12, and over half — 64 per cent — of children say they know another child that has been abused. World Vision took Neufield and his band on a tour of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and brought them to the red-light district where they could see for themselves what went on. And according to Neufield, his soul twisted inside him to see children as young as six offering themselves up from the windows and doorways and sidewalks of the brothels located there. “It was the worst moment of my life,� he said. “My soul just sickened.� When those children looked at him and his white skin, they saw him as just another tourist looking for what all tourists visit their brothels for. It was a relief when his World Vision guide took them away, and brought them to the armed compound where children who are rescued from the sex trade are safely educated and counselled. It’s an armed compound, its location kept as secret as it can, because the sex traffickers are reluctant, to say the least, to lose their sex-slaves. That’s lost money for them, and it’s become dangerous for the employees of World Vision and the child-rescuers. There have been attacks, murders. Inside the compound, girls and boys are given good food, health care, clean clothes and home. They’re counselled, which helps them cope with the terrible happenings of their lives. When

Tim Neufield performs in Stettler at the Alliance Church on Sept. 22, 2015. they grow up and leave the place, they will have a skill, a way to survive that doesn’t include prostitution. Neufield is passionate about helping these children. He and his wife sponsor a couple of children themselves, and a few for their two children as well. It’s a passion that helps World Vision help these kids — and several people at the Sept. 22 concert went away with a pamphlet, a child’s face and name inside. A child who will be helped, and rescued from that life, because of the money they send each month. The concert was pretty much standing-room only at the Stettler Alliance Church as Neufield and the Glory Boys lit up the room with lights, personality, and music.
The concert was a mix of all sorts of music, some Christian and some secular, some ripped from movies and television and others with lyrics straight from the Psalms and New Testament. The performance brought in local members of the church and their families, as well as others from the community who were interested in the ecclectic mix of country-rock that has become Neufield’s way of testifying his belief in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The BC performer’s popularity in Alberta was declared loud and true by a pack of about six people who travelled from Three Hills, and who had made all of his central Alberta concerts. “You could call us his groupies,� one girl said, backed up by her friends, before the headed inside to dance to the music. At one point, Neufield invited people to call out their faiths. Catholic, Baptist, Mennonite, Anglican — all were children of God, he said, and came together. And, he noted, it’s important that “we play songs that we can all sing, no matter our faith.� He said he had just the song — and swung into a rendition of Stompin’ Tom Connors’ Hockey Song, bringing laughter, and then singing, from the crowd. Neufield played songs from his album Trees, as well as others released prior, lyrics flashing up on the screen behind him at times to bring people into the music on more than just the audio level. At other times, he played classics, such as Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. For their part, the crowd didn’t passively just sit by and listen, instead getting into the music. Little kids danced, adults clapped and stomped, and at times sang along. Several times, Neufield led the gathered fans in prayer, a theme oft-repeated in his words: We are so lucky in Canada. Thank you, God, for letting us be so lucky. And having seen and heard of those children in Cambodia, no one in the room disagreed.

Life! But why disability, critical illness or long term care? PETER BOYS CAFA THE FINANCIAL COACH Several recent surveys have highlighted that most Canadians have insufficient life insurance coverage, and a significant number don’t have any insurance coverage. When quizzed as to why, the most common reason given is that life’s other financial priorities take precedence. Other reasons given are, they feel they can’t afford it, they have group coverage at work, plus several other common misconceptions. It’s easy to underestimate the huge financial risks people are setting themselves up for with insufficient or no coverage. Many families today
are living paycheque to paycheque with no rainy day savings, in spite of the fact that most people understand the need for life insurance to protect those left behind in the event of a premature death. But very few realize they are at a much greater risk of getting sick or disabled prior to age 65 than they are of dying. Why disability coverage? Disability insurance provides income replacement if one is disabled by accident or sickness. There are many options of how early payments begin and how long they continue, and premiums are charged accordingly. Some people have group coverage at work that I liken to Swiss cheese -

there are a lot of holes in the coverage. However, these can be filled with personally owned coverage. Advanced coverage such as ‘key-person coverage’ provide funds to hire a replacement while you’re disabled, or ‘business interruption coverage’ can take care of business overhead costs. Yes, disability coverage is expensive, but so would
years of payouts to someone who has been disabled. Why critical illness coverage? Costs while being treated for and recovering from a critical illness can add up very quickly. Having someone drive you to and from hospitals or clinics, motel expenses, home care if needed, not to mention lost income can put a serious crunch
on cash flow. Cancer, heart attack and stroke are the most common illnesses covered, but there are many other conditions that are covered as well. One can purchase a wide range of coverages. I recommend having enough coverage to fund at least one year’s mortgage and other payments. There are options that return all of your premium paid if you haven’t made any claims. This can be after a certain period such as 15 years or on death. Some policies have the option to be converted to long term care plans. Why long term care coverage? With longevity increasing with every generation and the ever growing legion of baby boom-
ers now in retirement, our health care system will be hard pressed to keep up. Plus what’s covered by Alberta Health care is a lot less than most of us realize, highlighting the need to have some level of personally-owned long term care coverage. Don’t leave yourself, your family, your farm or business at risk financially from an unexpected accident, sickness or death, and the devastating consequences of lost income to those left behind. Multiple coverage options and terminology can be confusing, so take the time to sit down with a qualified financial advisor to develop your personalized financial risk management program.

reveals that the vast majority of employees are nowhere near reaching their retirement savings goals, and more than one-third (35 per cent) expect to work longer than they had originally planned five years ago, with their average target retirement age rising from 58 to 63 over that period. Nearly one-quarter (21 per cent) say they’ll now need to work an additional four years or more. “I am not saving enough money” was the top reason for delayed retirement, cited by 35 per cent of respondents. Far behind retirement goals Three-quarters of working Canadians (76 per cent) say they have put aside less than a quarter of what they will need in retirement (up from an average of 74 per cent over the past three years). And even among those closer to retirement (50 and older), a disturbing 48 per cent are still less than a quarter of the way to their retirement savings goal. Half need more than $1 million for retirement Not only are employed Canadians finding it difficult to save for their retirement, many think they’ll need a big nest-egg. Half think they will need more than $1 million in savings when they exit the workforce, consistent with the average over the past three years. Losing confidence in the economy Many employees do not expect their financial situation to get better any time soon. Just one-third (33 per cent)

expect the economy to improve over the next year (down from an average of 41 per cent over the past three years), while 27 per cent feel the economy will worsen, up 10 per cent from the three-year average of 17 per cent. Living pay cheque to pay cheque A large proportion (48 per cent) report it would be difficult to meet their financial obligations if their pay cheque was delayed by a single week (about the same as the average of 47 per cent over the past three years). The provinces/regions with the highest percentage of employees living pay cheque to pay cheque are: Ontario (52 per cent), B.C. (51 per cent), and Atlantic Canada (50 per cent). Illustrating just how strapped some employees are, 24 per cent report that they probably could not come up with $2,000 if an emergency arose within the next month. Fewer able to save, and saving levels are low While more employees say they are trying to save more (71 per cent now, up from an average of 66 per cent over the previous three years), fewer are actually able to do so, with 62 per cent succeeding in their savings efforts (down from an average of 66 per cent over the past three years). And their savings levels continue to be meagre. About half (47 per cent) are putting away just 5 per cent or less of their pay. Financial planning experts generally recommend a retirement savings rate of at least 10 per cent of net pay. Overwhelmed by debt Over one-third of working Canadians feel overwhelmed by their level of debt (36 per cent versus 35 per cent over the past three years), and 12 per cent of employees say they are not sure they’ll ever be debt free.

Fall-friendly projects for homeowners Home improvement projects can add value to a home and do-ityourselfers know the sweat-equity that goes into such projects can give homeowners a greater sense of pride in their homes. But no two home improvement projects are the same, and homeowners should know that certain projects are best tackled during certain times of the year. Fall is a great season to work on your house, as the weather is often at its most agreeable once the summer heat has gone and before winter weather arrives. The following are a handful of fall-friendly home improvement projects for homeowners looking to improve their homes. Roof repair Whether you’re repairing or replacing the roof, fall is a great time of year to dust off the ladder and get some work done on your roof for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, fall is ideal for roof work because you won’t have to be up on the roof with the summer heat bearing down on you. This can make the project move along more quickly, which is especially beneficial if you are paying laborers to work on the roof. The fewer hours workers are fixing your roof, the less you will be paying in labor costs. In addition, fixing up the roof in the fall ensures those winter storms, be it rain or snow, won’t find their way into your home via leaks. A leaky roof in winter is hard to fix, as the roof surface could be treacherous in the
winter and winter winds can make it dangerous to be up on the roof at all. Addressing leaks in the fall can prevent damage to your home’s interior, which can mount up if a leaky roof is not addressed until the following spring. Window work When the weather outside gets frightful, poorly insulated windows can allow cold air into the home. That often has a trickle-down effect on finances, forcing you to turn up the thermostat in an attempt to offset the cold air pouring into the home. Whether you need your windows replaced or simply need to patch up any leaks, a proactive approach to leaky or older windows in the fall can save you from unnecessarily high heating bills come the winter. Addressing leaky windows also makes a home more comfortable for its inhabitants. Fall is the ideal time to address a home’s windows because the temperature outside tends to be pleasant. This means you likely won’t have to make much of an effort to offset the elements, and open windows in the fall won’t make your home’s interior very hot or cold like they might if you were to tackle the project during the summer or winter. Fixing the floors Wood flooring is a hot commodity for many homeowners. But not all flooring can be added to a home at any time of year. That’s because certain types of flooring employ adhesives that need temperatures inside the home to be within a certain range, and that
range is often within 70o to 80o F, which makes fall a great time to install such floors. Colder temperatures can make it difficult for the flooring to dry and bond, which will prove problematic down the road. What’s more, many people entertain friends and family come late fall and into the holiday season, and it can be difficult to do so if you are busy installing new flooring. Painting projects Painting is another home improvement project that seems tailor-made for fall. A fresh coat of paint or a new color scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the fall, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn’t the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 40o F. Paint that freezes won’t dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their hands. Fall temperatures tend to be amenable to both interior and exterior painting projects, just be sure to check the weather forecast before making your first brush stroke.

Alberta restaurants, still adjusting to lagging sales due to a declining economy, must now brace for significant labour cost increases that come into effect with the Oct. 1 minimum wage increases. The $1.00 rise in the general minimum wage is 10 times inflation and the $1.50 rise in the liquor server wage is 16 times inflation. “Restaurant owners aren’t opposed to minimum wage increases, but they want them to be introduced at a pace that’s manageable for labour-intensive businesses operating on very thin profit margins,” said Mark von Schellwitz, vice president Western Canada for Restaurants Canada. Since last May, when the new Alberta government promised a minimum wage increase to $15 an hour by 2018, Alberta’s economy has deteriorated significantly. Employment Insurance claims increased by 72 per cent between July 2014 and July 2015, and the unemployment rate increased to 6.0 per cent in August 2015 as compared to 5.2 per cent in August 2014. “Tomorrow’s (Oct. 1) minimum wage increase will undoubtedly lead to higher prices and
fewer job opportunities. It comes at a bad time for Albertans who are struggling to cope with the worst economic decline in years,” said von Schellwitz. “Our members are once again asking the government to slow down the pace of these planned increases, and to work with us to

A good book for your elementary school child When school started this year, you felt a little strange. Odd, weird, discombobulated. Like everything was topsy-turvy: new things to learn, a new teacher, new kids to meet. It took some adjusting – so much to learn! - but things are fine now. Once you read the new book “Upside-Down Magic” by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins, however, you’ll be glad that a little newness was all you had to endure!
Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins instead leap right into their tale, which ultimately fills out to become a sweetheart of a story about patience, being true to one’s self, acceptance, and friendship. Despite its initial abruptness, that made me smile. Yes, indeed, it takes awhile for this books’ plot to coalesce but by the time it does, your child will be thoroughly charmed.
Meant for 8-to-12-yearolds, this kittens-and-unicorns fantasy might be decent light-reading for a teen who wants something easy-breezy.

IMPLANT DENTURES Call for your consultation today! TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER Elinor Boxwood Horace was totally embarrassed. In order to get into Sage Academy – the school where her father happened to be headmaster – Nory had to pass The Big Test. She was required to prove that she was a Fluxer – not a Flicker or a Flyer or a Fuzzy (like big sister Delia) or a Flare (like older brother Hawthorn). A Fluxer, who changed into an animal and back again. A Fluxer, that’s what she was - and a bad one at that, because she failed the Test. For weeks, Nory had been practicing her magic nonstop. She could turn into a black kitten easy enough, but then things went wrong. Her kitten sometimes became a bitten (beaver + kitten) or a dritten (dragon + kitten) or a skunkephant (elephant + skunk). Having “wonky” magic was the worst! Having to go live with Aunt Margo was second-worse. Because
Nory couldn’t go to Sage Academy, Father sent her to live with Margo, a Flyer who owned a flying taxi service and who lived near Dunwiddle, a school that worked with kids whose magic was wonky. Kids like Nory. Being sent away from her family made Nory sad. It was easy to make mistakes (great, big, stinky mistakes, in fact) and hard to make friends – although she did have to admit that her classmates in UpsideDown Magic class were interesting: Bax, who became a stone when he was nervous; Willa, who made rain inside; Elliott, who was a rare Freezer; Andres, who floated; and Pepper, who scared even the biggest kids at school. Interesting, but Nory missed home. And then, she learned of a possible way to get out of Dunwiddle – and it worked. No more wonky magic. No more bittens! No more drittens! And, unfortunately, no more unique ways to be a magic hero… From the outset, “UpsideDown Magic” had me won-

Underfunding childcare comes with a heavy toll PAUL KERSHAW TROY MEDIA COLUMNIST Aggression and crime among boys has risen faster in Quebec than other provinces over the last decade. This coincides with the rollout of child care services in the province. These findings are contained in a new study by Kevin Milligan, my University of British Columbia colleague, and his co-authors, Michael Baker and Jonathan Gruber. A key design feature of the study is that the authors don’t know which children were actually enrolled in Quebec’s child care services. So their findings support two very different interpretations, both of which factor in the current federal election. The authors’ favoured interpretation is that the rise in aggression and crime may be among children who have been using child care services. This interpretation would signal that Quebec child care is not of good enough quality to achieve child development gains commonly found by researchers who examine the benefits of enrollment in high quality services. In response, the government would have two options. It could withdraw from investing in child care services - but this would likely sink labour force participation, erode the disposable income of thousands of Quebec families with young children, and compromise gender equality. Or the government could invest more to improve the quality of the services so they contribute positively to child development. The second interpretation of the research findings is that the rise in aggression and crime is among those children who didn’t use child care services in Quebec. Given existing evidence about child care, it is entirely plausible that children who weren’t enrolled fell behind a now larger group of children benefiting from the ser-
vices. Indeed, previous research shows middle- and upper-income households access the higher quality spaces that exist in Quebec more often. The result would then be a greater gap between kids who have experienced child care, and those who haven’t, when they start school. This gap could then account for increasing aggression and criminal activity among a group of children who start behind a larger portion of their peers. The policy response to this second interpretation would be to accelerate the creation of child care spaces, with a commitment to maintain or improve quality, and to integrate families who are not yet using the services. In the federal election, the Conservatives are campaigning on a promise not to invest any more directly in child care services. One interpretation of the latest study about Quebec child care may affirm their con-
fidence in this position. But we don’t just need child care services because they have potential to promote healthy child development. We primarily need them because young adults in their prime child rearing years now earn thousands less for full-time work than similar adults did a generation ago, start with larger student debts, and face housing prices that are up hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a result, parents need more time in the labour market, and are harmed when child care services are hard to find and expensive. The NDP recognizes this, which is why that party is promising $15/day child care. The NDP, however, has budgeted just $2 billion in annual funding four years from now. Our research shows a high quality system will cost closer to $10 billion. The result is a big funding gap, which must be closed if the NDP takes the new study seriously.
Such a shortfall in funding will either compromise the quality of spaces, and risk increasing aggression among boys in less than adequate services, or will compromise the number of quality spaces, and risk increasing aggression among those not getting access to the services. By contrast, platform background papers show that the Green party would reallocate around $6 billion in funding to child care services from an existing tax credit. So the Greens would get closer, more quickly, to paying for a high quality system with enough spaces. We still don’t know where the Liberals stand on funding for child care. Let us hope all the federal parties begin to better understand the implications of the latest research about underfunding child care.

How to get enough protein on a vegetarian diet One of the first questions vegetarians are asked when acknowledging their dietary preferences is, “Are you getting enough protein?” Many people assume it’s impossible to consume sufficient protein on a diet that consists largely of
fruits and vegetables. But many vegetarians get the protein their bodies need. Many people are overly concerned with protein intake, eating more than they really need to meet health requirements. The Recommended Daily Allowance of protein in
the United States is .36 grams of protein for every pound a person weighs. Many people need less protein than they think, which is likely one reason many non-vegetarians eat roughly one-third more protein than vegetarians. The Vegetarian Resource
Group says there are no distinct health advantages to consuming a diet high in protein. How protein works The body digests protein into amino acids to fuel its activity and aid in tissue repair. There are 20 different amino acids in

food, but the human body can only make 11 of them. Your body cannot synthesize essential amino acids, which must come from your diet. The nine essential amino acids, which cannot be produced by the body, must be obtained strictly from food. Foods that contain all of the amino acids necessary are called “complete protein sources.” Many animal products are great sources of complete protein, but complete protein also can be found in plant-based foods. One food that is a complete protein source is the soybean. Other plant-based foods may not be complete proteins by themselves, but when eaten together, can complement one another to provide all the necessary amino acids. For example, combining beans and legumes with certain grains, seeds and nuts is a way to get the protein one needs. The Physicians Committee for

Responsible Medicine says that intentionally combining foods at strict ratios is not necessary. As long as your diet contains a variety of foods, many protein needs are easily met. Less protein healthier? Many fad diets point to high protein sources for weight loss and improved athletic performance. But reports published in journals like Nutrition and Cancer and the American Journal of Epidemiology indicate high intake of protein, particularly animal protein, may be linked to osteoporosis, cancer and impaired kidney function. Eating a healthy, moderate amount of protein, such as that in vegetarian or vegan diets, can be beneficial. Many vegetarians need not worry about their protein intake. As long as diets include plenty of grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, vegetarians can meet their bodies’ protein needs.
