Red Deer Chamber Singers to celebrate 40 years Popular group has been a mainstay on the City’s arts and culture landscape BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS
A
City singing group is about to celebrate a tremendously significant milestone. The Red Deer Chamber Singers will be presenting ‘40 Years Singing with Sadie’ on May 28th at the Gaetz Memorial United Church. Performance time is 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and more information can be found at www.chambersingersreddeer.com or by calling 403-347-6567. Sadie Braun launched the group just over 40 years ago after directing the all-women’s musical troupe The WaskaSues. Eventually, she wanted to start up a singing group for men and women, and The Madrigal Singers began. They later became The Chamber Singers under Braun’s direction. “We are people from all walks of life who love to sing,” reads the web site. “As we look back, we can truly say that our musical selections have spanned the centuries. “They have included ancient music of western Europe (around 500 AD), Renaissance madrigals, classical, sacred, secular and folk music, compositions by modern composers and show tunes. We have sponsored a sing-along Messiah twice in Red Deer, performed in nursing homes and responded to invitations for special occasions.” Currently, the group has about 20 members and is under the direction of Braun’s daughter, Sharon Braun - a wonderfully accomplished and respected musician and opera singer in her own right. “I’ve have passed the baton,” added Sadie with a chuckle. That was back in about 2007. But Sadie has remained an integral part of the group of course. There is no question it’s her passion and provides a deep and lasting sense of joy to both women. Sadie originally hails from southern Manitoba. And it was during her early years that a passion for music was born. Along with the flourishing gift for music was a love for nursing, too. So over the years, Sadie certainly had her hands full with a nursing career while also raising a family (three children) and of course growing her remarkable musical abilities as well. “I was always into music. And I was lucky - mom and dad had a piano so I got a chance to get piano lessons. I had an older brother who had a girlfriend who came to teach music,” she recalls. “Before I finished high school I had my Grade 8 piano exam. And then I did the rest of my music (studies) after I finished

As a little girl, Sharon would be banging on the pots and pans while I was practicing,” she laughs. Sadie’s mom taught her a few melodies as well. “Music has always been part of my life.” When the family came to Red Deer in 1971, Sadie started working at the local hospital. “I was going to take some time off, but then thought I would phone the hospital and see if they need someone - I think was working the next day or something like that. I worked on the obstetrics ward for 10 years or so,” she said. The Red Deer Chamber Singers practice weekly at Sunnybrook United Church. The group also hosts a Renaissance Feast annually as well, along with other performances throughout the community. “I’ve always loved choral music - even through I’m a classical piano player,” said Sadie. “There is so much music - I love all kinds. I love the classics of course.” Seeing the transformative powers of music amongst choir members over the
years has also been rewarding, said Sadie. Sometimes, folks would come to rehearsal saying they were feeling tired, and nearly stayed home. “But when they finished the rehearsal, they’d go home singing. It puts them in a different world. “It would revive them, and that’s the beauty of music.” For Sharon, directing the choir provides another rich means of tapping into the wonders of music. She teaches voice at RDC as well, but finds balancing the two areas a continually fulfilling venture. “I love the sharing part of it. And gradually, it has sort of evolved.” Sharon of course was raised in music, too. Sadie recalls entering her daughter in singing and playing categories of local festivals. “And she usually won her class,” she said. Back when she joined it, it wasn’t long before Sharon also saw the fun that members had when they came together. “The community feeling and that feeling of accomplishing something at the

end of a rehearsal. That’s really important. It’s a fun thing, and a different way to express oneself.” As for the coming show, Sharon describes it as being a pretty eclectic program. She and Sadie are hoping lots of alumni attend as well, as there will be a massed choir at the end of the performance. “We’ll do our program first, and there will then be the massed choir.” A social will wrap up the evening. “We’ve also got some madrigals, we’ve got some folk songs, some contemporary songs - a real mix. I’ve arranged the program so that no one knows just what’s coming next,” she said. It will also be something of a delightful trek down memory lane, as scrapbooks packed with photos from over the years will be on display as well.

City set to welcome Memorial Cup with public ceremony BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS Excitement is building in the City of Red Deer as the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup tournament is set to kick off this week. The annual tournament for Major Junior hockey’s biggest prize will officially get underway in the City when the Memorial Cup itself arrives during a special parade and ceremony, which will take place downtown on Thursday. “From an organizational standpoint, we’re certainly tremendously honoured and proud to be the first (Albertan) team to host the tournament since 1974,” said Red Deer Rebels’ Owner, General Manager and Head Coach Brent Sutter of the event. The trophy itself was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March 1919, in remembrance of the many soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice for Canada in World War I. In 2010 the Memorial Cup was rededicated to the memory of all fallen Canadian military personnel. Thursday’s festivities will get underway at 11:15 a.m. when the Cup is brought into Red Deer by a group of CH146 Griffon helicopters, one of which will land at Central Middle School with the trophy. The Cup will then be picked up by a military Light Armoured Vehicle which will parade it through the streets of downtown along with a contingent of 45 Canadian Armed Forces pipes and drums and a group of military veterans on the way to the statue of the Unknown Soldier in
Veterans’ Park on Ross Street, which will be the site of the official arrival ceremony. “We’re thrilled the Memorial Cup is making its first stop downtown and we can hardly wait to welcome the community to the arrival ceremony,” said Amanda Gould, the executive director of the Red Deer Downtown Business Association in a press release. The free public ceremony at the cenotaph will begin after the Cup arrives at the stage in Veterans’ Park at 12 p.m. and will feature a welcome program, live street entertainment and will be capped off by the firing of a military howitzer. “It’s been an ongoing process but it’s going to be done first class all the way and there’s a tremendous amount of excitement here in this community and in Central Alberta. There’s people going to be coming from all over Canada here and perhaps different areas of the world to watch this event,” Sutter said. Due to the arrival parade, the City of Red Deer has advised residents that the following road closures will be in effect on Thursday including 48th Ave. from 52nd St. to Ross Street, will be closed from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.; 48th Ave. (northbound lane only) from 49th St. to Ross Street will be closed from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.; Ross Street from 47th Ave. to 48th Ave. will be closed from 11 a.m. to 12:10 p.m.; there will be a detour north and south on 47th Ave; RCMP at Ross Street and 48th Ave. to allow left turns south onto 48th Ave.; Ross Street from 49th Ave. to 50th (Little Gaetz) Ave. will be closed from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and a temporary closure will be in place on Ross Street
from 48th Ave. to 49th Ave. from the start of the parade until after the blast of the howitzer cannon. Residents are invited to stay after the ceremonies and enjoy lunch and entertainment following the formal celebration. Meanwhile, ENMAX and the United Way are offering a box suite for the final game of the Memorial Cup. According to a press release, ENMAX has donated their box suite for the final Memorial Cup game (May 29th) to United Way of Central Alberta. “United Way will raffle off this opportunity for $99 to the first 100 people who
call in or show up with payment.” Anyone interested in purchasing a $99 raffle ticket should call United Way at 403-343-3900 with credit card details, or stop by the office at 4811-48th St. between 8:30 and 4:30 p.m. with payment. Ticket sales close as soon as 100 tickets have been purchased, or on May 25th at noon – whichever comes first.

OPINION 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup fever hits Red Deer The long-awaited 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup is finally set to take place in Red Deer starting tomorrow. Plans for this event have been years in the making, so it’s very exciting to see it about to unfold at the ENMAX Centrium this week. Thousands of people will be flocking to the City to enjoy the games, and the many other related events that will be taking place throughout the community including Fan Fest which will be open daily during the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup four hours prior to puck drop. It’s a free event to the public which will take place in the Parkland Pavilion where patrons can enjoy a main street which will showcase team and sponsored booths, military displays, interactive games, photo opportunities and various merchandise. There will also be a Hockey Hall of Fame exhibit, where CHL, WHL and NHL trophies will be on display. Other displays will include memorabilia, unique facts and photos from the CHL and WHL’s history. In the Molson Hockey House, which is open to those 18 and up after each game,
there will be live entertainment nightly throughout the 10-day event. The Molson Hockey House will open four hours prior to each game and will close at puck drop, reopening at the end of the second intermission until 1 a.m. nightly. A number of entertainers will be taking the stage during the event include Brett Kissel, 9 Second Ride, comedian Kelly Taylor, the Mud Men, Hockey Hall of Fame member Bryan Trottier, Medicinal, St. James’ Gate, the Bradley Abel Band, the Clayton Bellamy Band, West of Fifth, See Alice, Finger 11 and the Randi Boulton Band. Some of these performances are free, but others do require a cover charge. The annual tournament for Major Junior hockey’s biggest prize will officially get underway in the City when the Memorial Cup itself arrives during a special parade and ceremony, which will take place downtown on Thursday. The trophy itself was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March 1919, in remembrance of the many soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice
for Canada in World War I. In 2010 the Memorial Cup was rededicated to the memory of all fallen Canadian military personnel. Thursday’s festivities will get underway at 11:15 a.m. when the Cup is brought into Red Deer by a group of CH146 Griffon helicopters, one of which will land at Central Middle School with the trophy. The Cup will then be picked up by a military Light Armoured Vehicle which will parade it through the streets of downtown along with a contingent of 45 Canadian Armed Forces pipes and drums and a group of military veterans on the way to the statue of the Unknown Soldier in Veterans’ Park on Ross Street, which will be the site of the official arrival ceremony.

Residents are invited to stay after the ceremonies and enjoy lunch and entertainment following the formal celebration.
A full schedule of events related to the Memorial Cup and a parade route map can be found at www.mastercardmemorialcup.ca/cuparrival. We encourage Red Deerians to take part in this event in some way, whether by taking in a game, heading down to the Westerner grounds in support or dropping tomorrow’s festivities. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Red Deerians to have such up close experience with a prestigious event like this. And of course we can’t forget to cheer on our hometown team - the Red Deer Rebels. They have done so well this year that it is almost like icing on the cake that our community is hosting the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup. Although they were ousted in a previous playoff round - the Rebels had not made it that far in the playoffs since 2004 and that is something to certainly be proud of. Our team is certainly ready and all of Central Alberta is gearing up to cheer them on. Go Rebels!
Fire may take our homes, but it will never take away our spirit The people of Fort McMurray are hurting right now, but there is hope.
Brian
JEAN After touring our City, meeting with first responders and evacuees, I know we will rebuild together and make Fort McMurray better than it has ever been. Words are not enough to express how nobly first responders acted in the face
of adversity. Without question, the men and women keeping order, fighting the fires and working to support the victims of the wildfire are heroes, and we owe them all our deepest gratitude. These men and women, many with families of their own, have worked around the clock to contain the fire, with the knowledge that many of their own homes had already been lost. A simple thank you will never be enough — but please know that the people of Fort McMurray are forever grateful. I am also overwhelmed by the countless Albertans who have opened their hearts, their doors and their wallets to pro-
vide much-needed support to the people of Fort McMurray in their time of greatest need. It is impossible not be moved by the selflessness of individuals all across our province. As the community of Anzac was under a mandatory evacuation order, we met young men with a trailer full of jerry cans giving away free gas to help families stranded on the highway when they ran out of fuel. I saw fire crews come off 24-hour shifts, ready and willing to go back out to protect the city they love. There are so many of these stories of hope and generosity that will serve as a foundation upon which we will rebuild.
From a small town of 1,500 on the banks of the Athabasca River, to nearly 100,000 people today, we have known both boom and bust. We are a people that work hard and cherish our time in the great outdoors. We are a City to which people come from great distances in order to seek opportunity. We are a City with heart, and a City that cares deeply about looking after each other and making our community a better place. Albertans are strong, and they are resilient. It doesn’t matter if you have lived in Alberta your entire life, or have just moved to this bountiful land, setting foot on fertile Alberta soil makes you one of us.
In our time of greatest need, we will need the full support of all levels of government as we recover. Now is the time for governments to make firm commitments to not only rebuild, but to attract investment back to Fort McMurray. All leaders will need to be at our very best to tell the world that Fort McMurray will come back stronger than ever. Through flood and fire, Albertans have shown their strength of character time and time again. I’m already hearing from Albertans from every corner of the province who are eager to strap on their tool belts and help rebuild the homes and lives of Fort McMurray families.
As we embark on the rebuilding process, I have complete confidence we will come back even better than before. In the face of a crisis, we are at our best. The coming days, weeks and months are certain to be difficult — but I have faith that we will get through this tragedy together. Fire is a powerful force of nature; it may have taken our homes — but it can never take away our spirit. Because of the resiliency of our community, and with all of Alberta behind us, we will come back stronger than ever. Brian Jean is MLA for Fort McMurray-Conklin and Leader of the Wildrose Official Opposition.

Not criminally responsible status rejected in murder case Mark Damien Lindsay is found guilty of second degree murder BY ERIN FAWCETT RED DEER EXPRESS Mark Damien Lindsay has been found guilty of second degree murder. Lindsay, 29, was charged in 2011 after the body of his then girlfriend, Dana Turner, 31, was found in a ditch near Innisfail. Lindsay, who is the adopted son of a former Edmonton police chief, has admitted to murdering Turner by stabbing her in the eyes with a pencil, strangling her and running over her with a vehicle. Lindsay’s lawyers had argued over the course of his trial, held earlier this year, that Lindsay was not criminally responsible for Turner’s death and that he was suffering from schizophrenia at the time of the murder. Justice Eldon Simpson handed down his decision in Red Deer’s Court of Queen’s Bench last Friday. “I am not satisfied that he was suffering from a disease of the mind at the time of the offense,” he said, adding he believes Lindsay knew what he was doing. “His conduct after showed purposeful and logical steps to cover up.” Wendy Yurko, Turner’s mother, said there is no real closure after Lindsay was found guilty of second degree murder. “We cannot fix my family. My family is like a beautiful glass vase that was smashed into a billion pieces,” she said. “I feel that at least I can go to bed knowing that another young lady isn’t going to
have her eyes pushed into her brain with a pencil, be strangled and then have her body ridden over with her own car - at least while he’s locked up.” During the trial defense lawyer Kent Teskey said Lindsay was mentally ill at the time of the offense. “Mr. Lindsay was profoundly ill in 2011 when the index offense took place,” he said, adding that records show that Lindsay has suffered from mental illness since 2005. “Mr. Lindsay has a disease of the mind which is schizophrenia and that was not contradicted (throughout the trial). Dana Turner died a horrific, violent and tragic death,” said Teskey. He added the question is what was the mental state of Lindsay during that time? He said even though Lindsay has admitted to substance abuse, Lindsay would not continue to show any signs of psychosis if it was substance induced like the crown has alleged during the trial. “We heard that once withdrawals are complete, symptoms should subside,” said Teskey. “Mr. Lindsay continues to be psychotic with abstinence and continues to be psychotic today.” Defense Lawyer Curtis Steeves added Lindsay believed that Turner was a supernatural woman. “He was scared of this supernatural woman that he was about to kill.” Teskey added Lindsay’s ‘delusional system’ got completely out of control as he continued to believe there were healers and assassins and he was going to be killed imminently.
“There was this obsessive aspect of his life and it had taken over his life in 2011. He thought Dana was going to kill him and as delusional as it was, there was some authenticity to it,” he added. “There was a gradual build up of paranoia and he was tormented by these delusional thoughts. He believed Dana was a supernatural threat.” Meanwhile, Crown Prosecutor Bina Border said there was unreliability in the evidence presented during the trial. “(Mr. Lindsay) was not suffering from mental illness to warrant NCR (not criminally responsible),” she said. “He was not
in a psychotic state at the time of the offenses. Mr. Lindsay knew his acts were morally wrong.” Crown Prosecutor Ed Ring added there is, “Abundant evidence to support Mark Lindsay was aware of his actions (at the time of the offense). He expressed no fear of Ms. Turner before he stabbed her and videos leading up to the offense show Mark Lindsay to be acting normal in demeanour.” Lindsay will return to court on June 6th where it is expected that a date will be set for sentencing. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Locals honoured at Citizen of the Year gala BY COLE SWIER RED DEER EXPRESS They never did their volunteer work for the appreciation but two Red Deer citizens were applauded and recognized last week at Red Deer’s 2016 Citizen of the Year Gala. One person who received acknowledgments at the gala was Red Deer’s 2016 Citizen of the Year award winner Rod Kennedy. Kennedy grew up in Red Deer and has seen firsthand the progression of the volunteer community and what it has grown into. Kennedy began getting involved with the Red Deer community at a young age and said that as Red Deer has increased in size the volunteer community has offered exceptional volunteering options. “As the years have gone on the volunteer organizations have stepped it up and grown and that’s great for everyone. The volunteers benefit immensely from that too. There’s a lot to be said about volunteer-
ing and the things you get out of it,” said Kennedy. Adding onto all the good that volunteering has given Kennedy, this is not the first time he is being recognized for his community efforts. He has also won the Westerner Exposition Association Award for Outstanding Service in 2005, the Alberta Centennial Medal for Contribution to the Citizens of the Province of Alberta in 2005, as well as a list of other accomplishments. Although through all the recognition and medals, Kennedy still feels the importance of volunteering in one’s personal life as well. He said that the vast majority of people he associates with are not the people he grew up with but the ones met through his volunteer work. He emphasized how like-minded people are more likely to meet each other and stay in contact through community involvement. “Volunteer work gives others the opportunity to

Panteluk’s time spent at the hospital has also helped him focus in on and decide on his chosen career path in medicine. Despite all the good that volunteering has done for Panteluk, he stressed the importance of youth involvement in the community. He said the vigorous en-
ergy that youth could offer as volunteers can really make a difference in not only the lives of the people they help but their own personal lives as well. “I know a lot of times people refer to youth as having energy and I think that using that energy in a constructive manner instead of a destructive manner is really important. “Using that energy for community involvement and community building is one way you can have a positive impact rather then a negative impact.”

RED DEER EXPRESS 9
Red Deer Games Foundation accepting applications BY COLE SWIER RED DEER EXPRESS Local athletes are in luck as the Red Deer Games Foundation is now accepting applications for financial assistance for regional athletes. The Foundation aims to provide financial aid for individuals demonstrating an economic need as well as a high level of aptitude and dedication to their sport. The way the financial assistance works is by divvying up a pool of money to all the chosen and qualifying athletes twice a year. The money doled out can be used in a wide assortment of ways including helping with travelling costs or even assisting with covering the costs of new sporting equipment. Miles Kydd is the executive director of Alberta Sport Development Centre and is involved with the Red Deer Games Foundation. He said there are many ways the money can be spent. Kydd did stress that the one of the major goals of offering financial assistance is to help relieve some of the pressure associated with being an amateur athlete in any way possible. “Anything we can do to help them. They have enough stress with the training and competition that they don’t need to add financial stuff to it. So anything we can do that way is a bonus,” said Kydd. He added there is a wide assortment of sports the Foundation looks at when it comes time for funding. Previous recipients of the organizations financial assistance include Jeremy Wotherspoon who is an Olympic speed skater, Elliot Moskowy who competed in the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Vancouver, as well as Regan Lauscher who is an Olympic luge competitor. Kydd added the applicants sport of choice is usually not an issue, an applicants athletic ability and financial
RDC to host Red Deer Maker Faire Red Deer College welcomes local innovators and entrepreneurs to showcase their creations at Red Deer’s first Maker Faire, with the goal of encouraging and supporting local creativity, and innovation. The event runs June 11th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Nova Chemicals Learning Common, on Red Deer College’s main campus Maker Faire is a celebration of invention, resourcefulness, and creative thinking. This event will provide people an opportunity to share their passion with others by showcasing amazing projects that too often stay hidden in basements and garages. “RDC is excited to host this unique event, highlighting the innovative
culture of Central Alberta and building on the success Red Deer College has had with its student Makerspace. We believe innovation drives economic diversification and we look forward to seeing what ideas are generated from Red Deer’s first Maker Faire,” says Dr. Paulette Hanna, vice president academic at RDC. Unique projects will abound at this event, providing great opportunities for people of all ages to explore and take part in many hands-on activities. Everyone is welcome. Tickets and parking to attend this event are free. To get free tickets for admission, and to learn more about this event, visit www.MakerFaireRedDeer. com. - Weber

“THERE’S NO LIMITATION TO ANYBODY AND ANY SPORT CAN CERTAINLY APPLY. IT’S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT SPORT YOU’RE PLAYING BUT HOW GOOD YOU ARE AND WHAT YOUR NEED IS.” MILES KYDD need hold more precedence over the sport itself. “There’s no limitation to anybody and any sport can certainly apply. It’s not necessarily what sport you’re playing but how good you are and what your need is.” Kydd explained the purpose of the financial assistance
is to ensure athletes are receiving support. He explained despite the importance of youth involvement with sports, a child’s love for athletics must start at home. Kydd added the purpose of the Foundation is to assist the athletes once they start attempting to take the sport seriously instead of focusing on getting Red Deer’s youth involved. “I think the influence for kids to join sports and stay in sports starts at home, in the schools, and with club sports. I think Red Deer Games just wants to come along beside those athletes that are just starting to get good and help them with their training.” The deadline for the application is May 25th and those interested in learning more about the Red Deer Games Foundation can check out the Alberta Sports Development Centre’s web site at www.asdccentral.ca. student@reddeerexpress.com

Life Enhancement Activity Program launched this month BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS
AFTERNOON VISIT - Krystal Bates and her daughter Adelynn interacted with the horses at Heritage Ranch while Lisa Wheeler and her daughter Quinn looked on. Cole Swier/Red Deer Express
A new wellness program for adults that may have cognitive or physical impairments is starting up this month at Family Services of Central Alberta The Life Enhancement Activity Program (LEAP) is also for those in need of help with social, mental and/or physical stimulation to help prevent social isolation, said Leanne Landry, manager of adult day services with Family Services. It’s also for those looking for alternatives (or supplements) to other community care/respite options.
“Family Services of Central Alberta recognizes that families who are caring for their aging loved ones need assistance,� she said. “At the end of the day, it’s going to be $65 for six hours of care.� That includes lunch as well.
“I THINK IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SENIORS TO GET INVOLVED. I ALSO THINK IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ADULT CHILDREN TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR PARENTS. IT’S AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL ALSO REJUVENATE AND ENHANCE THEIR WELL-BEING.� LEANNE LANDRY

Bylaw No. 2016/11 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a bylaw to amend the Town of Bowden and Red Deer County Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). The bylaw proposes to amend Map 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Future Land Uses and Policy Areas to designate all lands located within NW and SWÂ 26341-5 as a Joint Development Area for the Town and County.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special day.â&#x20AC;? For a half day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $40. LEAP runs Tuesdays and Thursdays and there are 15 available spaces per day. There are a range of activities that participants can enjoy from exercise, music and special events to crafts, reading/storytelling and cognitive activities. According to the brochure, each person joins at their own comfort level by taking part in activities that focus on individual abilities and strengths; enhance body, mind and spirit and promote fun and enjoyment in a relaxed atmosphere. The program is held at the Park Plaza Intergenerational Centre (#105 - 5214 - 47 Ave.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognize how some seniors are struggling financially, and we are still soliciting and looking for public or private donors to

But right now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a user pay program where we are covering our costs - that kind of an idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for seniors to get involved,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for adult children to give back to their parents. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an environment that will also rejuvenate and enhance their well-being.â&#x20AC;? It can also be utilized as a means of respite for caregivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also for older adults.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone through physio, and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say his speech was affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This LEAP program is somewhere he can come and be incorporated into social and intellectually-stimulating activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that there is a need in the community, and we know that not every family can afford $25 an hour for private care. And the difference between us and private care is that we add the social piece - the peer groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is very much that friendship piece.â&#x20AC;? The need for these types of services will only grow with the coming decades, as the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior population is expected to continue to rise. Landry said the program is also available for those living in the Central Alberta region as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penhold residents, Blackfalds residents - anyone that can get themselves dropped off at 9 a.m. and picked up by 3 p.m. can come to this program,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this program is a way to provide care in a community setting.â&#x20AC;?

14 RED DEER EXPRESS
WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 2016
A look back at the violent summer of 1935 For much of its history, Red Deer had a well-deserved reputation as a quiet, safe community. In 1917, only two people were incarcerated in the City’s police cells during the whole year. Most police cases involved by-law infractions, health code violations and the occasional breach of the new Prohibition laws. The onset of hard economic times is often blamed for an increase in crime. However, in 1931, after the start of the Great Depression, Red Deer’s police chief reported that there had not been a single major crime in over a year. Tragically, that long period of peacefulness suddenly came to an end four years later during 1935. The year started off quietly enough. There were four cases heard by the circuit judge. The crimes were relatively mundane, such as shooting a neighbour’s boar and taking firewood from a farmer’s woodlot. Moreover, only one case ended in conviction. On April 17th, 1931, the peace was shattered. A bachelor
Michael
DAWE farmer from Drumheller fatally shot Corp. Michael Moriarty in the back. The shooter was quickly killed by other police in a brief, but fierce, gun battle. The incident was very unsettling. However, the consensus was that the farmer had gone insane. He was a veteran of the First World War. To use the terms of the day, he was suffering from ‘shell shock’, now known as PTSD. Hence, the death of Moriarty, while tragic, was thought to be an isolated incident. With the onset of summer, businesses in Red Deer were hit with a wave of thefts. However, while the RCMP were out looking for a missing toddler using their new police dog, Dale of Cawsalta, they came across a suspicious car. The vehicle was found to
be full of the stolen merchandise. The dog quickly located the culprits hiding in a nearby field. The two men were convicted, and sent to jail in Fort Saskatchewan. Meanwhile, Dale of Cawsalta proceeded to find the lost little girl down by Innisfail. As the summer progressed, matters continued to deteriorate, as the region was hit by dust storms caused by the prolonged drought. Murray Gardiner, a popular Red Deer umpire, was badly beaten during a baseball game in Calgary by an irate player. Gardiner had to undergo surgery due to his severe internal injuries. In the fall, another crime spree hit local businesses, as well as a number of campers in what is now Rotary Park. The thieves tried to make their escape in a stolen car, but were unable to make it up the steep clay hill. They then took off on foot and were able to make their escape. Shortly thereafter, a local teenage farm boy was stabbed to death by a 16

year-old girl. An inquest was quickly held, but the coroner’s jury found that the girl had been defending herself from an assault. Consequently, no charges were laid against her. In early October, police gave chase to a stolen car through the streets of downtown Red Deer. The fugitive lost control of the vehicle on Gaetz Avenue and the car crashed into a tree. The young thief then high-tailed it on foot. While the police fired a number of shots in his direction, they missed and
the culprit was able to make his escape. Finally, on Oct. 9th, 1935, a gun battle erupted between the RCMP and three young criminals near the Banff Park gates. The young men were wanted for the fatal shooting of two policemen in Manitoba. Before long, two officers, Sgt. T.S. Wallace and Const. Scotty Harrison were fatally wounded as was one of the murderers. The other two young gunmen took off. The police brought in Dale of Cawsalta to help locate them. Fortunately, a small posse, which included Park
Warden William Neish, finally spotted the wanted men. Neish was noted as a crack shot and was able to fatally wound the two fugitives. Although the tragedy at Banff occurred a long distance away from Red Deer, it still deeply upset the community. As with the loss of Moriarty, the shooting deaths of young policemen were a shocking occurrence. However, unlike the death of Moriarty, the deaths at Banff seemed to be yet another blow in a year of unprecedented crime, rather than an isolated incident.

THREE ARRESTED IN STOLEN TRUCK A woman and two men face multiple charges after Red Deer RCMP located them in a stolen truck in Red Deer and followed the trio to Penhold. The woman was arrested in the truck and the two men were arrested after they attempted to flee police on foot.
RCMP located the stolen red Dodge truck in south Red Deer shortly before 9 a.m. on May 11th, and tracked it as it moved south on Gaetz Avenue and then onto the QEII Hwy. and into Penhold. RCMP did not engage emergency equipment at any time due to public safety concerns, instead deploying a number of police resources to contain the truck once it came to a stop in an alley behind Hendersen Crescent in Penhold. The woman was removed from the truck by police officers and a second man was located a short distance away. As Police Dog Services were being deployed, the third man, who had been hiding in a nearby yard, was also located. RCMP located a number of stolen credit cards and other identification during the arrest, which had been stolen out of Spruce Grove, Edmonton and Red Deer over the previous month. The truck had also been reported stolen out of Sylvan Lake earlier on the morning of May 11th. James Kenneth Riley, 25, has been charged with resisting/obstructing a police officer, three counts of possession of stolen credit card and two counts of failing to comply with undertaking. Rochelle Lynn Northey, 32, has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000 and four counts of failing to comply with undertaking. Glen Wesley Primrose, 25, has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000,
by Erin Fawcett resisting/obstructing a police officer, two counts of failing to comply with undertaking and driving while disqualified.
MAN CHARGED AFTER STABBING Blackfalds RCMP have arrested and charged a male in connection with a stabbing which occurred on Feb. 25th at 5:20 a.m. at a rural property in Red Deer County. Gary Auvigne, 40, of Red Deer has been charged with aggravated assault, robbery, possession of stolen property over $5,000, flight from police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stop at the scene of an accident.
MEXICAN TIME SHARE SCAM Red Deer RCMP have seen several instances of a newer scam lately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that targets people who are trying to sell their time shares in Mexico. Scammers approach the seller with promises that they have a buyer, or that they can help the seller to find one. The scammers generally claim to represent a business, and may have a second person call the victim, pretending to be a lawyer for that business. Victims are asked for up-front fees to cover closing costs, taxes, maintenance and other fees. Police say in Mexican time share scams reported in other parts of Canada, the scammers claimed to represent what appeared to be legit-
imate companies. In the most recent Red Deer incident, which was reported on April 21st, the scammer impersonated an actual lawyer out of the United States. The victim was defrauded of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, the scam originates in Mexico, and once the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money has been transferred out of the country, there is little RCMP can do to pursue the scammers. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre advises sellers of time shares to be suspicious of any organization that contacts you without an invitation, for example by cold calling; asks you for any kind of up-front payment, for example a deposit or administration fee - a legitimate broker will not cold call you or charge an upfront fee; says they have a buyer waiting to buy your timeshare; asks you to send them your Ownership Certificate; puts a lot of pressure on you to make a decision quickly; asks for your credit card details but tells you they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any payment; asks for any personal information, for example your bank details or address and has a 1-900 prefix â&#x20AC;&#x201C; legitimate companies will have a 1-800 number. If you are thinking of using the services of a timeshare resale company, check the Better Business Bureau web site at www.bbb.org for any complaints that may have been registered against the company. Do not do business with the company if there are grievances filed against it.

Local woman reflects on the joys of volunteering BY COLE SWIER RED DEER EXPRESS Volunteering is a way of life and one local community member is getting the recognition the community feels she certainly deserves. Evelyn Small, 82, is Beta Sigma Phi’s choice for the 2016-2017 Lady of the Year. She was born and raised in a small town in Saskatchewan just north of Regina and growing up Small had to carry her own weight to ensure everything was taken care of. Notwithstanding being the recipient of the Lady of the Year award, Small stressed that she hasn’t done all her volunteer work just for the credit; it was more of a way of life. “I’ve never considered myself a volunteer, I do it because I want to. I guess I was brought up in early war years and post war years where it was a thing that everybody did. It was a way of life,” said Small. Having always found ways to keep busy, she is involved in many organizations including the Lending Cupboard, the Red Hat Society, as well as Camp Quality. Despite all the work she is currently doing, Small’s favourite memory of volunteering dates back to when she was only 18 and working as an unpaid lifeguard with the Red Cross in Regina. One summer Small and a group of other lifeguards ended up teaching swimming lessons to a group of amputees. Small stressed how the happiness they felt and moments like that made the entire volunteering endeavor worthwhile. As Small grew older her longing to keep busy and keep active never diminished. This went as far as
RECOGNITION - Evelyn Small is involved in many organizations including the Lending Cupboard, the Red Hat Society, as well as Camp Quality. She is this year’s Beta Sigma Phi’s choice for the 2016-2017 Lady of the Year. Cole Swier/Red Deer Express seeking out employment even after retiring just to continue dealing with people. “I just like people, I’m a people person. I missed work very badly when I retired so I found silly things to do for $6/hour just get me out of the house.” Small’s love for people has also helped her get through some tough times, as the road has not been entirely easy for her. She unfortunately was widowed at the age of 47, but through her family and volunteer work she has been able to overcome many of the obstacles that life threw at her. Being a mother of four boys, and a happy grandmother of nine, as well as a great grandmother of three, family and friends have proven to be instrumental towards Small’s happiness.
Dawn Macleod is the chairperson of the Lady of the Year committee and said Small’s emphasis on community, friendship, and family all played a major role as too why she was chosen as this year’s recipient of Lady of the Year award. Macleod also commented about how she hopes others see Small’s story and the joy she receives from volunteering as motivation to get up, get involved and volunteer in their communities. “Hopefully more people will be encouraged to do it more if they hear about it. I think most people think, ‘Well if I’m not getting paid I just don’t have the time’, then they see something like this and you would hope that it would encourage people to get the joy from volunteering.”
One such example of someone who has been motivated by Small is her granddaughter Ashley Small. Ashley started volunteering with her grandmother when she was 10-years-old as kitchen staff members at Camp Quality. Despite her heavy workload at Red Deer College, Ashley has since moved up the ladder and is now more heavily involved with Camp Quality alongside other organizations. Ashley feels that despite how difficult it is to juggle both school and volunteering, she finds a way to do it because of how much value she places on giving back to the community. “I think you just have to have time to focus on school, but there is always time for giving back to people. If it something that’s important to you, you’re going to make the time to do it,” said Ashley. Ashley added in her eyes, recognition plays a huge role in volunteering and awards such as the Lady of the Year award are fantastic opportunities to shine a light on prominent community members like her grandmother. She explained despite the fact Evelyn doesn’t volunteer for the recognition, the mere fact she’s getting some form of formal appreciation must mean the world to her grandmother. “I don’t think she’s going out and volunteering just for the awards, I mean that’s not what she does. But I do think it’s nice to be recognized for the hard work that you’ve put into the community for all these years because she does so much for so many organizations and for her to be recognized for it, I’m sure it means the world to her,” said Ashley. student@reddeerexpress.com

DON’T DRINK & DRIVE
A mother’s memories of her late son Robert was the oldest son of five children. He had one older sister, two younger sisters and a younger brother. His dad worked in the oilfield and was away a lot and he always told Robert that he had to take care of mom and his siblings. He had to be ‘the man of the family’ and as a result, Robert and I were very close. I relied on him a lot. I remember how he would read me the newspaper while I puttered around in the kitchen and we would have great discussions about whatever world event was current. He always had to share all his exciting news with me. Many nights I would be asleep when he came home from being with his friends and I would feel that touch on my shoulder. “Mom remember so and so?” The next morning he would tease and say I bet you don’t remember a thing I said. He would be surprised when I would repeat some of it back to him. He had the most beautiful blue eyes
that would just twinkle when he laughed, which he did often. He loved life and people. Robert had a serious illness when he was about eight-yearsold, since then he always said he wanted to be a doctor. He graduated with honours and then he worked for the City of Red Deer for two years. That spring he registered at the U of A and was accepted into medicine. His girlfriend was accepted into education. He gave notice to the City and worked his last day on Aug. 18th. That would give us time to move him to Edmonton and get him ready to start school Sept. 1st. He came home from work at about 5 p.m. and I had supper ready. It was just Robert and I eating that night. He said, “Oh mom, it smells so good, but I want to go to the gym and workout first, can you just put it in the microwave and I will eat right after?” We lived by the green water tower and at about 8 p.m. I could hear sirens on the Spruce

he should be coming home. I silently prayed, “Please God don’t let that be Robert.” As time went by I became more anxious.
I just wished he would come home so I could stop worrying. The doorbell rang and an RMP

stood there, I knew by the look on his face it wasn’t good and it was Robert. I prayed he was just hurt. Robert was 21-years-old. He was killed instantly and his friend suffered severe injuries to his leg. The driver was so drunk he couldn’t turn the corner and pinned Robert and his friend against the guardrail. The driver had four previous impaired driving charges and was seen at 5 p.m. so drunk he couldn’t get his car in gear. No one reported him. I still feel Robert’s touch on my shoulder sometimes at night. I still see his beautiful smile. It’s like losing an arm or leg, I’ve learned to live without him, but I will miss him forever. I wonder what kind of doctor he would have been and what his children would be like. Someone said about him, “He was the kindest gentlest man he ever met.” - provided by Darlene Gabrielson, member of the MADD Red Deer and District Chapter.

CITY BRIEFS REBUILDING FORT MCMURRAY Strengthening the quality of life in local communities has been the mandate of the Red Deer & District Community Foundation since its inception in 1989. The RDDCF recognizes that the rehabilitation process after a devastating tragedy, such as the fires that ripped through the community of Fort McMurray, is a long and arduous process. As such, RDDCF would like to announce the creation of the Rebuilding Fort McMurray Flow Through Fund, with the purpose of providing resources to the rebuilding efforts. In partnership with Community Foundations across Alberta, the RDDCF board has allocated $10,000 from the Smart and Caring Communities Endowment Fund. The fund is now open for donations from community members who are interested in helping the long term efforts required to restore Fort McMurray to the thriving city it is known to be, officials say. The fund will provide financial aid to projects focused on restoring and enhancing the social infrastructure of the community, especially the things not covered by the government or insurance. Every donation will be eligible for a tax receipt. “Community foundations are here for good, for the long haul. We want our neighbours in northern Alberta to know that we are here for them, until their community is back on its feet,” says Kristine Bugayong, CEO of the Red Deer & District Community Foundation.
Correction: In last week’s Crime Prevention feature the phone number to report graffiti that has not been removed was incorrect. The correct number for The City of Red Deer Compliance is 403-342-8328.

by Mark Weber “While relief is still very important right now, we need to be able to support the long term recovery needs of the community as well.”
CHANGES TO MONTHLY BUS PASS Transit users are advised that the rates for an adult monthly pass will increase starting with the June pass. The increase, from $67 to $70, was approved by Red Deer City council during the 2016 operating budget deliberations. The increase will be applied to June adult passes at the time of purchase, which is often in May. Adult monthly passes are loaded onto the new MyRide cards, which are available for purchase at Transit Customer Service in Sorenson Station Transit Terminal downtown, and City Hall, and reloaded at sales outlets that previously sold transit passes. Adult passes are transferable but can only be used by one person at a time and must remain in the possession of the passenger for their entire trip. The City increases transit rates annually in response to inflation and expenses, typically in the fall. There will be additional rate changes in other categories coming to transit users this September, including cash fares. More information on these changes will be shared with riders this summer. The Transit Customer Service Centre at Sorensen Station offers MyRide card sales and reloads, transit information and a lost and found service.
WATER FEATURES CLOSURE AND ALTERNATIVES As part of the City of Red Deer’s sustainable, long-term planning for outdoor recreation, a number of outdoor water features will not be open this season while the City works to repair or revitalize the sites. Discovery Canyon will be closed the entire 2016 season for major enhancement work on the beach, streambed, picnic area, playground, parking lot and entrance road.
Rotary Recreation Park wading pool will remain permanently closed due to ongoing maintenance issues. Centennial Plaza Park fountain is closed pending site redesign and redevelopment starting 2017. “We’re committed to providing the best outdoor recreation experience possible,” says Barb McKee, recreation superintendent. “That means working to meet our community’s growing needs with enhanced facilities that are truly great gathering spaces. We encourage everyone to try out some of the facilities already open for the summer, such as Bower Ponds and the Blue Grass Sod Farm Central Spray and Play at Rotary Recreation Park.” Dewinterizing is well underway at Kin Kanyon spray fountain and at the Recreation Centre outdoor pool, both of which are scheduled to open June 1st, weather permitting. The Blue Grass Sod Farm Central Spray and Play has already opened and is operating extended hours of 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. when temperatures are 18 degrees Celsius or higher. Indoor water facilities are always available and include the Recreation Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre, the Collicutt Centre and the Michener Aquatic Centre. For more information, visit reddeer.ca/recreation-and-culture/.
FUN CITY SLIDERS COMING TO RED DEER On Aug. 6th, Riverview Avenue in Red Deer will be transformed into a 1,000 ft. MONSTER water slide. This is a new event to the City, and one that promises to be a great activity for all ages (children and adults) during the mid-summer in Central Alberta. John Johnston, fund development manager with the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer states, “The Boys and Girls Club is proud to be the charity partner for this event because it promotes family fun for all ages in an activity that gets everyone outside and enjoying Red Deer’s mid-summer days.” The Boys and Girls Club also receives a portion of proceeds through ticket sales that will benefit the community-based programs offered throughout Red Deer and area. “We are also looking for adult volunteers for the date of the event, so if you’re not into getting wet and wild on the slide you can always help us out in a variety of volunteer roles during the day. If you are interested in volunteering in support of the Boys and Girls Club and Fun City Sliders, contact janessam@yvc.ca for details.” For tickets and more information on this event, visit www. funcitysliders.com

ENTERTAINMENT Fiddling sensation brings national spring tour to City BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Fans of that traditional fiddle style won’t want to miss the exemplary skills of Canadian award-winning fiddler Scott Woods. He and his band are bringing ‘Love That Fiddle’ to Sunnybrook United Church on May 26th at 7 p.m. Proceeds from the show will help support programs at the church. Advance tickets are available at the church office by calling 403-347-6073 or by calling 1-855-726-8896.
“YOU GO RIGHT TO THE MELODY - AND WE DO VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ORNAMENTATION AND DECORATION TO THE TUNES BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMPLE. AND I THINK THAT’S WHY THEY ENDURE - BECAUSE THEY DON’T GET CLUTTERED WITH OTHER STUFF. IT DOESN’T GET DATED IF YOU WILL.” SCOTT WOODS This particular show offers audiences an uplifting live show that celebrates the fiddle and simpler times. There’s a bit of everything from a topnotch band to somersaults to walking on a barrel while fiddling, traditional country and gospel songs, family humour, inspirational stories, step dancing and more. “Every year we have a new show with a new theme,” he explains during a chat from on the road. “I was thinking about when I got started playing the fiddle - I was only four-years-old and I couldn’t wait to get my first violin and start taking lessons,” he said. “My brother and my two sisters were already playing fiddle along with dad and of course mom would accompany us on the piano. I loved that fiddle even before I got started. And I soon realized that the fun stuff to play was definitely that fiddle music.” As Woods points out, fiddle tunes provide a means of delving into some pretty happy memories - not only in his life, but in the lives of audience members as well. “Fiddle music represents, for a lot of
people, almost like a time machine. It’s a way to transport them back to simpler times before cell phones and computers,” he said with a chuckle. In the early days, fiddle music provided a major source of entertainment, and was often an integral part of community celebrations and special events. “Maybe even it was just in the kitchen with an accordion and a guitar, they’d be playing tunes to entertain themselves. “So when they hear those tunes today, people sometimes long for that simplicity of life. It represents lots of things - morals, values and ethical things that seem to have been lost with all these digital distractions.” Woods is simply stunning in his role as entertainer, and he’s landed many accolades along the way to prove it. He was part of a Don Messer tribute show for several years some time ago before heading out and developing his own productions. During his high school years, he’d practice six or seven hours a day. Then his post-secondary studies took him in a different direction – business and marketing. He’s grateful for those skills as they’re such a help with his career, but music is and has always been at the forefront. “We are playing tunes that 100 years ago were already 100-years-old - and they’re still relevant,” he said. “The old time style is right to the heart. You go right to the melody - and we do very little in the way of ornamentation and decoration to the tunes because they are simple. And I think that’s why they endure - because they don’t get cluttered with other stuff. It doesn’t get dated if you will.” He said he also often chats with folks at his shows in their 40s and 50s who perhaps didn’t care for fiddle music way back in their younger days. But they’ve come to admire it now, what with the obvious skill it demands but also for the warm, family memories it tends to bring up. “They’ll say it takes them back they also they realize that the music itself is good! Maybe it was corny to them as kids, but now when they listen to it they say that it’s pretty catchy and fun.” Woods is a two-time winner of the Canadian Open Fiddle Contest, a twotime winner of the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Championships, and Canadian Fiddle Entertainer of the Year. For Woods, playing for the folks in every community and meeting them after the show are definite highlights. He’s been

is partly fueled by the enduring quality of the music as well. “To the younger people, they come and their eyes are opened because they see that this music is fun and it doesn’t have to be twangy and scratchy – hillbilly kind of music. It’s happy, fun music – it’s music for the people.” Again, for tickets, call the Sunnybrook United Church office at 403-347-6073 or email office@sunnybrookunited.org. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Alecia Aichelle’s CD release set for Fratters BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Local country singer Alecia Aichelle is gearing up for the release of her first full-length CD Golden - with a local event at Fratters on May 25th. Showtime is 7 p.m. with opening artist Dean Ray and Aichelle and her band set to follow. Reservations are recommended by calling 403356-0033. Golden will be available on May 25th for digital purchase on iTunes, and copies at select retail outlets and for pre-order are available at www.aleciamusic.com/shop. The majority of Golden was recorded/produced in Nashville with four bonus tracks produced in Alberta in 2013. “It’s a pretty amazing feeling because it’s my debut, full-length album,” she explained of Golden. “It’s been a lot of work, time, money and energy and passion and just everything that goes into it. So it’s pretty surreal to actually hold it in my hands. It’s very exciting. “I’m most excited about connecting with my fans, and my family and friends that will be there, too,” she said, adding that it will be wonderful to be able to showcase the disc in its entirety. “There’s nothing like being onstage and hoping that your songs make people feel happiness, or think more about their lives or to promote something positive. I love performing live, so I’m really
excited for that.” Aichelle has been singing since she was just four-years-old. But about a decade ago, just prior to entering Red Deer College to study music, doctors found a large tumour on her thyroid gland. It was about three weeks before starting at RDC that she underwent surgery. Although she had been originally told it wouldn’t affect her voice, that wasn’t initially the case. After several weeks without improvement in her voice, she was sent for more follow-up where it was found that there had been complications resulting in permanent paralysis of her right vocal cord. “I was told I would never sing again and most likely never talk normally again.” She was devastated but the support and prayers of friends, family and her parents and her strong and foundational Christian faith brought her to a place of hope. And eventually, to complete healing. A few months went by and her speaking voice started to come back. After six months her voice was fully restored and it was deemed to be nothing short of a miracle. “It’s a powerful testament of hope and it’s a miracle,” she said. “Even when you are told something is impossible, don’t give up.” Born and raised in Kelowna, Aichelle’s love for music and performance began early on as she grew up singing in her church and excelled in
Royal Conservatory classical piano. She was also introduced to country music at a young age by her parents, who have been devoted supporters of her musical dreams. Some of her first influences include Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Paul Brandt, and CCR, to name a few. As to Golden, the CD contains co-writes as well as songs written solely by Aichelle. Golden is also described as a compilation of old and new and a musical narrative of her journey. Her voice - pretty, crystal clear and gently emotive - glides over the polished tunes with ease. The style is country, but her voice could easily cover other genres as well. But as she has said, this is the style she feels is the ideal means of expressing herself. Meanwhile, her friendliness and warmth as witnessed in person shines through as the project unfolds. She has certainly found her niche. And beyond the launch next week, she’s already mapping out a busy summer with performance dates. “Some of those shows are solo and some are with my band,” she said, adding she’s be releasing a second single to radio at some point in June. “It’s a real summery, real fun song called Country Life.” Radio tours are also in the works for Saskatchewan and B.C. in the coming months as well. editor@reddeerexpress.com

LIFESTYLE Make sure to avoid the hidden toxins Most of us are pretty aware of the standard toxins to avoid: pesticides, herbicides, gasoline, household cleaners with labels on them, etc. The little skull and crossbones, or the skeleton hand. Easy.
Scott
McDERMOTT But what about the hidden stuff that doesn’t have a convenient label? You might be a little surprised at how much of that stuff is all around you, and it ALL has a very negative effect on your health. There are so many versions of this, but let’s focus on just three. Toxin #1: Social. I started with this one because it really seems relevant these days. The fires in Fort McMurray have seen an unprecedented mobilization of amazing energy to help and to give in a time when the recession has left many of us with very little to offer. Yet we did. (That’s good) but peppered in with the good are some really awful, insensitive, uneducated and ridiculous things, and those are toxic. Some of them made me so mad I was shaking. ‘How could someone say something so rotten?’ That stuff is toxic. Thankfully lots of this is on social media and facebook makes it really easy to unfollow or unfriend, and folks - we need to do that. If you have someone
toxic on your news feed, you have to cut them loose for your own health. I also watch or read very little news, because that too, can be toxic. I have to say, I love our Sylvan Lake news paper, because it tends to be a great balance of good local news, upbeat and positive and not a steady diet of negative - bravo. This also goes with negative people, you need to spend less time with those folks. They will suck you into their negative energy vortex of toxic yuck, and you just don’t need that. Hang around with positive people, people solving problems, not just listing them off and adding to them, or finding fault in things that are wonderful. Toxin #2: food. One of the things I really stress when I teach nutrition is how to read a food label. It really is critical that we understand what is in our food. Some of it isn’t food at all. For example, when my son was little the health nurse said we should start giving him Cheerios. “It improves manual dexterity, fine motor skills and it’s yummy and nutritious.” she said. So of course I read the label in the store. Gross. In addition to the high amounts of refined sugar, (which they claim to not have much of - marketing lies) one of the top ingredients is trisodium phosphate. Now why on earth would food have TSP (paint degreaser) in it? Easy. It makes the little donuts sticky so they can roll through the assembly line to the oven. Gross. I noticed the all natural generic version in the
“YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE SURPRISED AT HOW MUCH OF THAT STUFF IS ALL AROUND YOU, AND IT ALL HAS A VERY NEGATIVE EFFECT ON YOUR HEALTH.” organic aisle had none of that gunk.
Toxin #3: makeup and skin care products. I am not an expert in this one at all, but I do know that lots of products in this world are very toxic, and since our skin is known to absorb medicines and chemicals directly, it’s one to watch for sure! There are several natural makeup lines and a few simple requests will get you there for that. One big one for me here though, is sunscreen. The sun has
somehow been proclaimed as toxic (and I have a really hard time with that, but I would have to get heavily into some conspiracy theory and long-winded evidence) when oxybenzone (one of the main ingredients in most commercial sunscreens) is known to be found in mother’s milk (meaning it gets past all of our internal safety stops). It alters hormones, messes with fertility (including causing endome-

Cholesterol drugs linked to Type 2 diabetes What is the last thing our health care system needs?
Dr. Gifford
JONES More cases of Type 2 diabetes. According to the Diabetes Association, more than 33 million people in North America suffer from diabetes. More millions are unaware they have pre-diabetes. This disease is associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), blindness, kidney failure, heart attack and amputation of legs due to gangrene. But a recent study published in Diabetologia, the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, indicates we are going to see more Type 2 diabetes. Finland researchers tracked 9,000 men without diabetes between 45 and 73 years of age for six years. One in four men were taking a cholesterol-lowering drug at the start of the study. At the end of the study 625 men had developed Type 2 diabetes. Depending on the type and dosage of CLD prescribed, the risk of this disease varied between 28 and 44%. This is hardly a therapeutic home-run! Why does this happen?
Dr. Ronald Goldberg, director of diabetes research at the University of Miami, speculates that CLDs increase insulin resistance. In effect, it’s more difficult for insulin to enter cells and decrease blood sugar. In addition, the pancreas may have more difficulty producing insulin. This is not the first study that has found an association between the use of CLDs and Type 2 diabetes. For instance, a report in the Annals of Medicine studied thousands of middle-aged women for seven years who were taking CLDs. Compared to those who were not on this medication, they were 50% more likely to develop diabetes. Other researchers followed 150,000 women in their 50s, 60s and 70s for seven years. Again, the study showed that those taking CLDs were 48% more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. These odds are worse than those at Los Vegas. Good sense tells me it’s irrational to add to the epidemic of diabetes. Particularly since diabetes is associated with a 50% chance of dying of a heart attack! It’s a lose/lose situation. Seventeen years ago I suffered a coronary attack. Cardiologists said I’d die in a couple of years without CLDs. But I had previously interviewed Dr. Linus Pauling who believed heart attack was due to a lack of Vitamin C and lysine (an amino acid). He explained why this combination in high doses prevented ath-
erosclerosis. I bet my life on his research and in my 93rd year I’m still part of this planet. I’ve also escaped the other complications of CLDs such as an increase in cataracts, muscle pain, emotional, liver, and kidney problems. But the Pauling therapy meant I had to swallow 30 pills daily for 15 years. Now, fortunately, I can choose from powders or capsules containing high doses of Vitamin C and lysine which are available
in health food stores. But remember I’m not your doctor and I have never advised patients to discontinue CLDs. In addition, the medical establishment is totally convinced that CLDs are the be-all-andend-all in heart attack prevention. Readers often ask if they can take high doses of C and lysine along with CLDs. Vitamin C and lysine in the diet do not cause harm, so additional amounts merely provide
an effective dose to combat cardiovascular disease. Surely it makes sense for the medical profession to evaluate the work of Dr. Linus Pauling, a Nobel Prize winner, and the research of Dr Sydney Bush in England. His photos of arteries on my web site, www.docgiff.com , show the dramatic before and after results of Vitamin C and lysine. But you will never see TV ads depicting the benefits of Vitamin C and lysine. Why? Because they
are natural products and cannot be patented. So there’s no money to be made from advertising. I believe history will show the medical establishment has committed an error by ignoring this research. It’s not the first time in medical history this has happened. In the meantime, as sure as night follows day, there will be more and more cases of Type 2 diabetes.

The Rebels are ready for the Memorial Cup BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The puck will drop on the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup tournament in Red Deer on Friday night and the Red Deer Rebels are itching to get going. “It’s been good. It’s been different, obviously, when you’re not playing games the last two weeks but I thought we’ve done a really good job of making sure we’re prepared every day for our practices and making sure that we change it up so that it doesn’t become a long two weeks for the players. I thought they handled it really well,” said Rebels’ Head Coach and GM Brent Sutter of the team’s preparations on Monday afternoon. The Rebels have not played a game since being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Final of the WHL playoffs by the Brandon Wheat Kings on April 29th. Nevertheless, the team has been doing their best to stay in game shape for the impending tournament with a rigorous schedule that has included everything from early morning workouts to a day trip to West Edmonton Mall. “We’ve changed different things up with them to keep them mentally focused and I thought that they’ve responded pretty well to that,” Sutter said. Over the course of the past week, Sutter and the Rebels finally found out who their three opponents will be at the tournament as the championship series of the three Canadian Hockey League leagues played out, with Brandon emerging from the WHL, the RouynNoranda Huskies coming out of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the London Knights rolling through to the Ontario Hockey League title. Each of these teams will provide their own unique set of challenges for the host team as they make their drive for Major Junior hockey’s greatest prize.
That long road will start for Red Deer on Friday night when they take on the Knights in the first game of the tournament. The Knights come into the Memorial Cup tournament as easily the hottest team in the field. They haven’t lost a game since April 1st and swept both the top-ranked Erie Otters in the conference final and the Niagra Ice Dogs in the OHL final. London is a team that thrives on offense. Their top line, consisting of Mitch Marner, Matthew Tkachuck and Christian Dvorak have been the most prolific trio of players in the entire CHL. In the playoffs alone, the three have combined for a whopping 50 goals, 69 assists and 129 points in just 18 games. When asked how the Rebels plan to defend against a line like that, Sutter said it all comes down to playing smart. “Making sure that our turnover ratio is down, making sure that we play the game the right way. It’s not just our defense, it’s our forwards that will have to play against them and there’s a job we have to do against them. It’s certainly a very good line. Obviously they’ve got well over 100 points in playoffs between the three of them, so they can certainly put up numbers. We have to make sure that we play the game the right way when we’re playing against them.” Next up for the Rebels on the schedule will be the RouynNoranda Huskies, who were led throughout the playoffs by some good offensive performances as well as some showstopping play by goaltender Chase Marchand. Marchand was lights out during the QMJHL playoffs, posting a 15-3 record with a 1.35 goals against average and a .946 save percentage to lead his team to their first ever President’s Cup victory. The Huskies were also helped out on the front end by captain Francis Perron (12-21-33) and Timo Meier (11-12-23). The

hunger will be there for Rouyn, who will be chasing the first Memorial Cup in club history. Then, of course, there’s the rematch with the Brandon Wheat Kings. The Wheat Kings are probably the deepest team that will be attending this year’s Memorial Cup tournament. After defeating the Rebels in five games in the Eastern Conference Final, the Wheat Kings became a force to be reckoned with as they downed the Western Conference champion Seattle Thunderbirds in five games on their way to the third WHL championship in team history. “We had two or three games where we had leads in the third period against those teams and they just got the outcome.

The Rebs are going to be leaning on veteran players such as DeBrusk, Adam Helewka and Luke Philp to provide leadership and scoring as they go up against the top teams in the country. “We’ve got to play to our strengths but it still comes down to getting your individuals to play better too. We certainly need to have everyone up to their standards here come Friday,” Sutter said. The 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup gets underway on Friday night when the Rebels take on the London Knights.

still have that memory fresh in our minds. Props to them, they played a great series and won the whole league, good for them. But we’re waiting for that game to play against them for sure and get a second chance at it,” said Rebels’ forward Jake DeBrusk on the impending rematch. Despite appearing at the Memorial Cup two times before, however, the Wheat Kings are still looking for their first Memorial Cup title. Red Deer will be in tough as they look to repeat that magical Memorial Cup run from 2001. They’ll be without the services of speedy forward Connor Bleackley, who Sutter said is doubtful for the tournament after he sliced a tendon in his wrist during the final game of

Red Deer Riggers start season off strong BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The Red Deer Riggers had the bats going early and often last week, as they cruised to a 10-1 victory over the Parkland White Sox on opening day of the 2016 Sunburst Baseball League season. Red Deer’s Senior AAA baseball team exploded for seven runs with two out in the fourth inning on the way to the lopsided win. “We had a good start early with a couple of runs, a couple of good bats and then (Parkland) had a couple of tough plays and we got a couple of extra outs,” said Riggers’ Head Coach and shortstop Jason Chatwood after last week’s game at Great Chief Park. Chatwood, who is in his first year as the head coach of the ball club, said that the big win was a good way to get the new season started. “It’s still the first game of the year. We had a good night but I think everyone’s still rusty and it’s our first time being out on the field live for the season. For the first game of the year you don’t expect some balls to be hit that hard, really. It’s awesome,” Chatwood said. The Riggers’ lineup made a good impression right off the hop. Starting pitcher Josh Edwards had his good stuff in the first inning, striking out his first two batters in just his first nine pitches before surrendering the first hit of the ball game to White Sox shortstop David Cooper on a bunt. Unfortunately for Edwards, the White Sox’s ability to manufacture runs came into play immediately afterwards. Cooper, a fairly quick player, managed to steal his way into scoring position on the next pitch and was summarily driven in by a single into right field by White Sox third baseman Brad Michaleski. Edwards was not phased, however, and forced the very next batter to ground out to third. The Riggers struggled to get anything going in the bottom of the first, though, and were retired in short order after recording just a single hit, an infield single by lead off man Kevin Curran. The second inning saw the Riggers’ defense and pitching put to the test once again. White Sox first baseman put some pressure on early when he took an 0-1 pitch deep and off the fence in centre field for a no-out triple to kick off the second frame. Red Deer’s big lefty on the mound showed no signs of nervousness, though, as he retired the next three batters to escape from the inning unscathed. Overall, Edwards went three innings, surrendering just three hits and one
IT’S GONE! - From right, Red Deer Riggers third baseman JP Wilner drove a three run home run into left field while Jacob Senkoe of the Parkland White Sox looked on during Sunburst Baseball League action at Great Chief Park last week. The homer helped the Riggers roll to a 10-1 victory. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express earned run with three strikeouts. In fact, the entire Riggers pitching staff were on their game, which allowed the Red Deer bats an opportunity to really run up the score. “Everyone got ahead in the count early, threw lots of strikes and got them swinging at their pitches. We had five guys come in tonight and they all looked really, really efficient,” said Chatwood, noting that the team is trying to keep pitch count down in the early parts of the season, hence the short outings. “It worked out. Everyone looked sharp, like really sharp for the first game of the year, which is exciting because as you keep playing more, guys will get a little more enduranced and get ready to go. Especially to stretch those pitchers out later on in the year, it will be huge.” The Riggers’ offense managed to make some noise in the bottom of the second inning when they picked up a couple of runs on a single hit after a hit batter RBI and a sacrifice fly by Denver Wik to take the lead in the ball game.
All was quiet on the score sheet after that until the bottom of the fourth inning. The inning didn’t get off to the greatest of starts for the Riggers. Kerry Boon hit into a double play after catcher Jarret Chatwood managed to get on first base on an error for the first two outs. But then the big bats came up to play. “The right part of our lineup came up at the right time and a couple of big swings kind of back to back and all of a sudden it’s seven runs in the fourth inning,” said Chatwood of the inning. After that it was like the bases were some kind of running track as the Riggers base runners circled them. An RBI walk with the bases loaded by Chatwood got the ball rolling on the scoring for Red Deer. Immediately afterwards, Aaron Dunsmore smacked a bases-clearing double into left-centre field to score a trio of runs for the home team. Just one batter later, after first baseman Jason Lewis advanced to first on a hit by pitch, newcomer third baseman JP Wilner stepped up to the plate and cranked a
towering three-run homer over the left field fence. “It was a 2-0 fastball right down the middle and I didn’t miss it. It felt pretty good,” said the Regina-born right handed batter, who also played some college ball in the States before playing last season with the Saskatoon Smokin’ Guns and connecting with the Riggers at nationals last year. “It’s been fortunate. I’ve been fortunate and I’m glad the season’s underway.” The seven runs scored in the fourth was more than enough to secure the win for the Riggers, who added one more in the fifth inning for the 10-1 win. The Red Deer Riggers played their last home game last night, Tuesday, at Great Chief Park against the Sherwood Park Athletics. The game was not over at press time. Their next game will be on May 27th, when the Riggers head out to Spruce Grove for a rematch with the White Sox. The first pitch on that one will be thrown at 6:45 p.m. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Finding those ‘diamonds in the rough’ design ideas Nothing sets me alight like a unique home. After several decades being a home designer I feel like I have ‘seen it all’ regarding home layouts and styles. Last week I was showing rural properties to a client and we stumbled upon a farmhouse that was incredibly unique. The style was a combination of farm house and Spanish abode and it was one of the few homes that I have walked into and haven’t been able to predict the layout from the outside. Most homes follow a predictable layout pattern and while the kitchen had a typical farmhouse feel with large mullioned windows, turning into the living room sort of shocked me. I don’t want to paint the picture that this house was beautiful, in fact it was quite the opposite but it was interesting and I really dig interesting! The living room had stone archways
Kim
WYSE leading into a space which had large beams running across the ceiling. Both of these items looked like add-ons and could not have been part of the original architecture. This is what made it interesting for me as the house sort of wound around itself with the main floor making a complete circle. Even though the house was in very rough shape, it interested me and I could see how a clever renovation on this home could make for a truly divine living space. One of the more curious parts of the home was a staircase that led to nowhere. Reminiscent of the Winchester Mystery
Mansion, this 1.5 storey home had a staircase that had been closed off with only a few steps at the bottom still showing. Can you imagine how that roused my curiosity? I wanted to grab a crowbar and start ripping that wall down to see what was up the curious staircase! How fun would that be to unearth a loft space that could be turned into a breathtaking master suite! From the size of the windows outside it looked like there was sufficient space for a full second story and I keep thinking about that strange house and why the upstairs has been abandoned. Many people (including my clients) walked into that house and immediately saw all of the strange finished and unfinished spaces and wrote it off as too much work but I saw a diamond in the rough. I saw a brick chimney running up the corner of the kitchen just waiting to be exposed.
I saw a large living room with a curious window boarded over that begged for garden doors and a lovely patio in the shaded trees. I saw a weird bathroom tucked underneath that mysterious staircase with a tub that had barely enough room to sit in and knew that it could be expanded directly into the dining room behind it which had a strange dead space which curiously held the washing machine!? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and for all the plain houses I see, a curious and unique interior always gets my creative juices flowing. The possibilities when you have a unique property with a curious layout are wonderful and really fun to consider even if it may be a bit strange to look at from the start.
