Flags of Remembrance hosted in communities across Canada Hero plaque and flag sponsorship deadline is set for next month BY JENNA SWAN COURTESY OF THE SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
I
t all started 10 years ago. He was a man with a video camera and an understanding of the importance of veteran documentation. Allan Cameron, founding executive director of Veterans Voices of Canada, knew if someone didn’t document the stories veterans had to tell they would be lost forever. He has since documented over 1,100 veterans. Fast forward a decade from those initial interviews and Cameron has since built an extensive network of veterans and support groups spreading throughout all corners of Canada, as well as having created one of the most patriotic events in the country – Flags of Remembrance. Nearly two years ago in October of 2014, Cameron and a group of dedicated volunteers gave the flags a local launch alongside Hwy. 11. The initial 128 flags lined the southern side of the roadway, wowing everyone who came across the spectacularly Canadian sight. Word soon spread across the country of what Cameron and his team had done outside of Sylvan Lake. The executive director found his phone began to ring in the months following the first Flags of Remembrance – individuals and organizations in various communities across Canada were asking how they could get involved. In 2015, five communities including Sylvan Lake, Ponoka, Vernon, Charlottetown and Kingston hosted Flags of Remembrance ceremonies with each of the flag unfurling ceremonies taking place in unison. Last year also saw the number of flags double in Sylvan Lake from 128 to 256, lining both sides of the highway creating an even more breathtaking tribute. Again in 2016 the number of communities participating has nearly doubled with nine communities in total taking part. Sylvan Lake, Edson, Ponoka, Okanagon Valley, Kingston, Ottawa, Riverview, Charlottetown and also Cameron’s hometown of Sydney, Nova Scotia will all be holding their flag ceremonies simultaneously this year. Cameron, who has called Sylvan Lake home for the past 10 years, explained it has always been a dream of his to bring Flags of Remembrance to Sydney. “It’s my hometown. My family is there, a lot of people I grew up with are there and many of the veterans I know are there,” explained Cameron. “It’s just a matter of bringing it back to my roots. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.” Perhaps one of the most memorable moments for Cameron at this year’s Flags of Remembrance will be the attendance of his mother, Velma Walker who resides in Sydney and has only ever seen photos
HONOUR - Last October saw Central Albertans gather outside Sylvan Lake for the second annual Veterans Voices of Canada Flags of Remembrance ceremony. Ryan Doell rides his horse Champagne next to Rebecca Santana and her horse Mable during the raising of the flags. Sylvan Lake News file photo and video of the Flags of Remembrance. Walker was the first sponsor of a hero plaque and flag for the Sydney Flags of Remembrance and will be paying tribute to her uncle, Ernie Hill, a D-Day veteran who was killed on July 25th, 1944. “When I told her I was doing this the first thing she said was, ‘Can I do this for Ernie?’ and I said of course you can,” said Cameron. “She tells the story of how he and her were buddies. She might have been five-years-old when he went off to war. She can remember seeing him walking down the driveway and turning to wave with all his army gear on. That’s the last time she saw him. “The fact she is going to see his name with the hero plaque on the flag pole at opening ceremonies is going to be pretty cool. That’s what I’m looking forward to the most this year is having a photo taken with my mom at opening ceremonies – it will be a moment for us both I’m sure.” Following the first Flags of Remembrance held in 2014, Cameron fielded phone calls asking how flags could be sponsored next year. While he thought this was wonderful, he wanted to be able to give both sponsors and veterans more. From this notion, the hero plaques were born. “It’s a remembrance initiative so aside
from the event itself, what better way to give remembrance to their own hero than by commemorating them on a hero plaque?” he explained, adding after the event sponsors are presented with not only the hero plaque they sponsored, but also the flag which flew above it during the ceremony. This year Veterans Voices of Canada is spreading a special message to friends and families of RCMP members in regards to hero plaques and flag sponsorship. “Because RCMP fall under veteran recognition with Veterans Affairs of Canada, this year we are really encouraging people to take advantage of the opportunity to give tribute and honour to their RCMP member on the hero plaques,” said Cameron adding ultimately the person sponsoring the plaque can put any name they’d like on it. “If they don’t have a veteran they wish to honour, we can certainly help them out as we have the names of many local veterans and fallen heroes who deserve recognition and we can make that happen no problem.” He added he is also thrilled to see Flags of Remembrance making its way to Ottawa in 2016. “To have the chance this year to be able to do Flags of Remembrance in our nation’s capital is going to give us a lot of the recognition we need to keep growing so we

can get more people seeing this happen and have more people understand why it is importance to not just remember our veterans in October and November but all year round,” he said. Cameron, on behalf of Veterans Voices of Canada wishes to thank the many volunteers and sponsors who have helped to make Flags of Remembrance such a successful initiative. He hopes to continue to see the flags spread to more and more communities each year and reach as many Canadians as possible, adding without the help of sponsors and volunteers this wouldn’t be possible. In each location half of the funds raised from the sponsorship of flags and hero plaques returns to a local organization, in Sylvan Lake that organization is Veterans Voices of Canada to ensure the organization is able to continue the journey of veteran documentation. Those wishing to honour a hero with the sponsorship of a plaque and flag are invited to contact Allan Cameron by phoning 403-887-7114 or by emailing him through ac@vetvoicecan.org. The deadline for sponsorship is set for Aug. 19th with the minimum donation of $200 per sponsored flag requested. editor@sylvanlakenews.com

OPINION A summer tradition at CentreFest The summer fun and traditions continue this weekend as Red Deerians will be able to take in the sights and sounds of CentreFest. Sporting all kinds of international artists and performers, Red Deer’s annual CentreFest festival hits the downtown core July 30th-31st. This the 14th annual festival and each year continues to get bigger and better. It truly is an incredible opportunity to see some world-class entertainment right here in our own City. CentreFest began in 2002 and has since evolved into the largest street performer festival in Central Alberta. From the beginning, it seems to have a built-in local audience. Each year the festival draws in over 25,000 people from all around Alberta, organizers say. CentreFest will also be host to Circus World this year which will be presented by Axiom Architecture which gives kids an opportunity to be a part of the bigtop and learn various circus skills. Music World will also be at the festival
so patrons can listen to local talent and big hits while they enjoy other activities. The festival plans on hosting events all day and will be featuring several globally recognized international talents. These include Bill Ferguson, the ‘Master of Crowd Control’, who hails from the UK. With a simple challenge of juggling any three things of the audience’s choice, Ferguson promises to entertain the crowd with a little surprise, should he succeed in juggling the three items. But if he fails to perform the trick, it’s pie to the face time. Cirque No Problem joins the festival from Israel. Winners of the World Street Performer Championship 2014, the acrobatics show brings traditional 20’s travelling circus companies and modern circuses together for a show that promises a grand display of their performing prowess. ZAP Circus comes through from down under Australia. The award winning Rusty and Tarabelle put on a ‘circus
extravaganza’ for spectators with their flaming-hot juggling and hoop spinning. Flip from Canada’s own Quebec makes their way to CentreFest as well. Kids will flip out when they see the three person acrobatic/trampoline comedy show. The show will keep audience members laughing and astounded. The Puppet Guy comes in from Newark, New Jersey. Though the name sounds simple, his puppeteering skills are beyond compare as Lee Zimmerman, the hand behind the marionette, astounds crowds with his rock and roll puppet show. The world recognized talent that is Zimmerman’s The Puppet Guy has not only been going strong for 30 years, but has also appeared on the Drew Carey Show and worked with Quentin Tarantino. JuggleMania joins in from Portland, Oregon. The show stars Rhys Thomas, the man who tosses knives in the air like they’re coins and he will keep the crowds smiling with his witty banter, balance and
juggling. Thomas has had thousands of shows all across the world and has even had his act take up residence in the Smithsonian Institution. In addition to the performances, food and activities, the festival plans on having Raffle-O-Rama. There will also be a ‘sneak peek’ event held on July 29th at noon at City Hall Park with some of the entertainers and a barbecue. Organizers say the festival is always looking for more sponsors, partners and volunteers and all are welcome to join. We encourage Red Deerians to check out all the talent that will be available this coming weekend. It is an affordable event that the whole family can enjoy as admission is free and all performances as in an ‘pass the hat’ tradition, so bring your toonies! And it’s a great way to check out the City’s downtown as well. For a full schedule of events, visit www.centrefest.ca.
E-cigarettes are a critical tool in the war on smoking The war on electronic cigarettes is a misguided attack on a clear harm-reduction product. A recent editorial, Electronic cigarettes and youth: a gateway that must be shut, in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) says that Ontario youth are flocking to e-cigarettes or vaping at an ‘alarming rate.’ The study states that 10% of Grade 9 students in the Niagara region admit to having tried e-cigarettes at least once. The study also states that these students were more likely to have friends or family who smoked traditional cigarettes. The author, Dr. Matthew Stanbrook, also wrote on the topic in 2013 in the CMAJ article Regulate e-cigarettes as drug-delivery devices. Then, Stanbrook ar-
Lauren
MILLAR gued that society is yielding “precious ground in the war against tobacco” to e-cigarettes, and that the federal government must aggressively regulate the industry. In an ideal world, no youth would experiment with smoking or drinking. We know that smoking kills, and due to education, aggressive package labelling and smoke-free laws, no one knows this better than youth. Yet every year, a small percentage of teens try anyway. Although vape shop
owners believe the practice is far less harmful than traditional smoking, they know that nicotine is addictive. So many agree that e-cigarettes should not be accessible to youth without (at minimum) their parents’ accompaniment. The United Vape Retailers Association in Alberta, for example, holds their members to a strict ethical code and, even though provincial government regulation does not exist, do not sell e-cigarettes to minors. The war against tobacco has failed to completely stop smoking. People of all ages remain addicted and find cigarettes nearly impossible to quit. E-cigarettes have proven to be an effective, consumer-driven harm-reduction tool, created by the free market. It is an innovation that should be celebrated,
not attacked. In fact, the regulations being called for in provinces across Canada may limit the rights of citizens to seek out less harmful alternatives. Such regulations, then, would defy Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Public Health England, in partnership with other health agencies such as the British Lung Foundation and the Royal College of Physicians, has produced reports strongly supporting cigarette users switching to e-cigarettes. One report states that vaping is at least 95% less harmful than traditional cigarettes, and that among youth, e-cigarette use is almost exclusively confined to those who already smoke. Since 2000, more than 1.3 million U.K. smokers have completely stopped
because of e-cigarettes. In stark contrast to the CMAJ article calling e-cigarettes a public health crisis, the foremost health body in the U.K. heralds e-cigarettes as a ‘public health opportunity’. The 2013 CMAJ editorial claims that tobacco companies are ‘major players’ in the e-cigarette industry. In Canada, the marketplace is much more complex. There is no tobacco in e-cigarettes, just nicotine. Tobacco companies would likely love to see vapour regulated out of the market. In fact, some tobacco companies have a hand in producing cessation products such as gum or patches, which many smokers insist do not work. Regulations are supported by those in the health-care industry with the noble but unrealistic
purpose of prohibiting any nicotine use. Meanwhile, tobacco and major pharmaceutical companies are equally pleased to keep people trying (usually unsuccessfully) cessation devices – and eventually giving up and continuing to smoke regular cigarettes. Canadians must guard against any movement to limit our right to choose harm-reduction tools to improve our health. Outright bans and overregulation of e-cigarettes, while honourable in principle, will lead to more harm than good.

RED DEER EXPRESS 7
A look at some local tragedies involving police North America has recently been shocked by the tragic deaths of a number of police officers in what were apparently targeted attacks against them. Regardless of any other issues involved in these terrible events, they are reminders of how police and other emergency services people literally risk their lives every day to serve the general public. Red Deer has largely been exempt from such tragedies. No Red Deer firefighter has lost their life while fighting a local fire, although several were killed while serving overseas in the military during a time of war. Unfortunately, the same is not the case with our police. On April 6th, 1977, Const. Dennis Shwaykowski, a member of Red Deer’s RCMP City Detachment, was killed while on active duty in an incident at the Parkland Mall. On that tragic spring evening, the RCMP received a call about a serious development at the Trapper Dave’s restaurant. A 28-year-old man was despondent about a break-up with his girlfriend. After he spotted her sitting with other men at the restaurant, he went home, collected a gun and then returned to make angry threats. By the time Shwaykowski and his partner arrived, the man had

DAWE left the premises. However, the culprit was still driving his halfton truck around the parking lot. Shwaykowski approached the truck on foot. He ordered the driver to stop and get out of his vehicle. Unfortunately, the driver refused and began arguing. The suspect then began to drive away. Shwaykowski jumped on the truck’s driving board and tried to get the man to stop. The truck accelerated to 80 km/h as it headed towards a landscaped area of rocks and spruce trees in the middle of the parking lot. The truck bumped on the rocks. Shwaykowski was thrown from the running board. He passed away from his injuries almost immediately. The suspect took off, but by the time he reached a northside service station, he started to gain control of himself again. He pulled over and asked someone to call police. He was still very emotional, but cooperative, when the RCMP arrived. He readily surrendered.
The man was originally charged with first-degree murder, but he later pled guilty to a charge of criminal negligence causing death. He subsequently served a three-year sentence. Shwaykowski was survived by his wife Linda and three young children. His funeral was a massive one. There is a black marble memorial plaque to him at the RCMP’s City detachment station. Another dramatic, but less tragic event happened in Red Deer on June 1st, 1911. Red Deer’s Police Chief George Bell was shot by a masked gunman after he rushed to the scene of an armed robbery. The assailant was a young transient. When he drifted into Red Deer, he was penniless and hungry. Ironically, when Bell ran into him a couple of days before, Bell had given him a dollar to help him buy a meal. When Bell arrived during the robbery, the assailant was startled and shot him in the stomach. Despite his life-threatening injuries, Bell was still able to blow his whistle and sound an alarm. The two businessmen, who had just been robbed, frantically tried to help Bell as the gunman fled. A massive manhunt ensued. The police and a citizens’ posse were sure that the shooter

had left town. Therefore, they allowed the local Boy Scout troop to search some bush near the fairgrounds and not far from the scene of the shooting. To everyone’s surprise, the Scouts found the man in the trees. They kept him surrounded until armed backup arrived. The culprit quickly surrendered and readily admitted his guilt.

RED DEER EXPRESS 9
Wildrose Leader Brian Jean makes a City stop BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Wildrose Party Leader Brian Jean made a Red Deer stop last week on his ‘On Your Side’ summer tour. He attended a community barbecue in the afternoon of July 20th with a meeting that evening at the Black Knight Inn. “Our job is more important today then it’s ever been in our history,” he told an enthusiastic audience of supporters regarding he and his MLA’s roles in the Alberta Legislature. “The beautiful, wonderful Alberta that I knew is not the same Alberta the Wildrose sees today. It’s not the same Alberta you see today. And where it’s going, is in a different direction,” he said. “It may seem like 10 years, but the NDP has only been in power for a year,” he added, noting the number of things that the current government has done which go against the essential principles of the Wildrose Party. “If we are given the privilege of serving the people of Alberta in three years, I promise you we will do everything we possibly can to change the direction the NDP has gone and to bring back the Alberta Advantage right across the province.” Jean pointed out how the NDP government is, “Drowning in debt - $58 billion dollars within three years. Four million people in Alberta, and we are going to have $58 billion in debt,” he said. “What this does remind me of is the Alberta I lived through in the 1980s with the National Energy Program. I’m not prepared to see what happened in Fort McMurray happen in the rest of my province,” he said. “I saw businesses shutting down, I saw people losing their homes. Until you see someone losing their home, you don’t know how bad it can be. “It’s happening in Alberta right now.” Jean said it’s vital for a government to stay in touch with the people. “When you lose touch with the people, you lose the moral authority to govern,” he said. “That’s why we need to make sure on a consistent basis Wildrose reaches out - our MLAs, our activists and our presidents - and talks to you. Here’s your opportunity to tell us your priorities - here’s your opportunity to change the future of Alberta.” He told the crowd that it was last fall that he started to try and move forward with uniting the right. “I like to call it consolidating the conservatives,” he said. “I know there will be some questions around the room tonight, because there have already been questions today. “But it’s not the most prevalent question I get - 90 per cent of the questions I get are about jobs and the economy. I was very happy to see that very recently politicians from right across Alberta are now beginning to follow the Wildrose lead - we’ve been talking about consolidating conservatives in this province for a year now. “I challenged the members at our AGM last fall and again in conversations in December. I told them we need to forgive past transgressions. We need to forgive

past things that happened between our party and other conservatives. We need to make sure that we have the opportunity to have discussions. “We are prepared, because a third of our membership tell me they are interested in consolidating the conservatives,” he said. “We’re listening, and we are going to. “And if we find we have a willing dance partner, we will dance. “The most important thing is that if you are a Wildrose member, you know for certain that Wildrose will only do what you tell us to do. Wildrose members have the privilege of deciding the future of Wildrose.” Conservative Calgary MLA Jason Kenney launched his ‘Unite the Right’ campaign recently. Jean simply pointed out that some in the conservative camp are in favour of consolidating while others aren’t. “I think what we need to do as Wildrosers is wait and
see what the PC organization decide for themselves,” he said. “Once they decide who they are, I think then we can decide whether they are the dance partners we want for the future. “Anyways, I will tell you the leader matters. And the leader they choose matters. And there are more than one (leaders) now apparently who are running for the PC leadership who are interested in consolidating the conservatives. That’s good news, folks. People are listening to us, and people are following our movement.” Meanwhile, Jean said it’s heartening to see folks really tapping into the political process. “I’ve never seen Albertans more engaged than they are today,” he said. “They are engaged, they are worried and they are concerned and they know that they have the opportunity to get involved today.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Winners of the Hospitals’ Lottery receive prizes BY CYRIL BRABANT RED DEER EXPRESS The winners of the dream home in the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation’s Hospitals’ Lottery were given the keys to their new home last week. Bob Wynnyk and wife Arlene Wynnyk won the grand prize in this year’s lottery and several others won the remaining prizes which were announced last week at the house which is located at Lazaro Close, near Lancaster South. “It’s a beautiful surprise,” said Bob, winner of the house which is valued at $800,000. “You don’t usually hear that everyday.” He said that he and his wife were both in disbelief when they heard. “I didn’t believe it at first,” he laughed. “But after a while it was confirmed but then it took about a week to actually sink in.” According to the web site, this year’s 465 awarded lottery prizes hold a collective total of $1,190,392.45. The money made from the contest goes towards the Red Deer Hospital’s Phase Two project which is an initiative that aims to update some of the older equipment in the hospital, mainly focusing on the emergency department, Inpatient Cardiology/Telemetry and Cardiac Intensive Care units. Although the overall lottery was a success, Marketing and Communications Officer at RDRHF and Event Organizer, Cynthia de Boer, spoke about the donations and funding. “The lottery is always a great deal of fun and it’s a great cause so we always
have to hold our heads up high and say ‘we’re doing the right thing’,” said de Boer. “It did get a bit disappointing a few weeks before we were to close (because of low ticket sales). “I was very worried, personally, that we weren’t going to be able to fund our cause because that is the reason for our existence. We’re not here to give away homes, we’re here to fundraise for our hospital in Red Deer.” de Boer said that the money is specifically going towards the installation of 106 network clocks that will allow the healthcare professionals to run on the same time clock, new beds, monitors and other items that need funding. “It becomes very important when medications are delivered,” de Boer explained. “When you have a medication that needs to be topped up or timed, it’s important that every healthcare provider knows the exact time that the last one (dose) was given.” Bob said when he purchased his ticket that he did so with the intention of hoping to help the hospital reach its fundraising goal and never once thought he’d be the winner of the grand prize. He and his wife Arlene said that, though it’s a beautiful house, they’d probably end up selling it seeing as they are from out of town. “It’s too bad,” said Bob. “It’d be nice to move in to a home like this, it’s gorgeous.” Some of the other prize winners included Robert L. Schafer, the Mega Bucks 50/50 draw’s winner, who will be taking home $224,892.50 along with 463 other people that won the prizes which in-
clude such things as new cars, cash, fishing trips to B.C., and other luxurious items. “I think it’s a great lottery for the cause,” Bob said. “I think it’s a shame that we have to invest through a lottery to have the funding for the hospital, but
if that’s the way it has to be then hopefully the people will support it. “You buy a ticket not thinking you’ll win, but even if you don’t win a prize, you do win if they can pay for the things they need for their unit.” student@reddeerexpress.com

DON’T DRINK & DRIVE
Tribute Tuesday – Remembering Wayne Rinas Wayne Rinas was a loving husband and father of two sons and came from a large family with 11 children. Growing up with many siblings, their favourite pastimes were playing hockey in the basement, in the backyard rink and on the street in front of their house. If Wayne wasn’t playing hockey, he was playing his other favourite sport – basketball - which later in life was replaced by golf. One of his wife Marilyn’s earliest memories of her husband was dancing together. “We loved to dance so Wayne taught me how to jive, fox trot, two step and many other steps, anything so we could get up and move to the music.” Wayne was definitely a family man. He would love to go camping; jump in the vehicle to watch his son play sports and even watch his nephew and nieces. Wayne looked forward to their two-week family vacation at spring break or in the summer. All during Wayne’s life he continued to enjoy playing sports and coaching both boys with their sport teams. Even on the day he left this world he had his golf clubs with him. A very dedicated family man, he would often phone his brothers or sisters to up-
date them on what the family was doing. He often said how proud he was of his family. On June 15th, 2013, Wayne’s life was taken by a drunk driver. Wayne was on his way to work, at 6:30 a.m. when tragedy struck. So many lives were changed forever by one senseless, meaningless decision that could have easily been prevented. Marilyn says, “There isn’t a day that
goes by that we all don’t miss you, cry for you and ache for you. Wayne, on June 15th, 2013 part of me died with you and I feel lost, empty and so very alone. You will never be able to see your children get married; hold your first grandchild or teach them how to play hockey like their grandpa did. Wayne, you were my best friend, my rock and had the wonderful easygoing personality that when times became stressful you would always say,

‘Don’t worry so much, everything will work okay’. “I know they say time does heal however it’s now three years since Wayne was killed and I’m still struggling to find a new normal. My life was completely taken out from under my feet on June 15th, 2013 and I still have many hours of counselling trying to find ways emotionally and mentally of moving forward. “On January 30th of 2015, I lost my job due to lack of focus causing many errors, I had to sell my house that we had built together and lived in for 18 years. I had to move to find a new job; start a new beginning and to come to grips with saying that I was a widow. In May of 2015 I Joined the MADD chapter in Red Deer to help educate and give public awareness on how this senseless crime can be prevented. PLEASE if you drink, ‘DON’T DRIVE’.” After Wayne’s death, Marilyn reached out to MADD Canada for support. If you are a victim/survivor of an impaired driving crash, there is support for you, too.

Local cadet chosen as a leader amongst her peers Standing out for her leadership skills, dress and deportment and positive attitude, Red Deer’s Hailey Helset has been chosen as the Warrant Officer Second Class (WO2) for the Support Training Group at the Cold Lake Cadet Training Centre (CLCTC) for the summer. Over the next six weeks, Helset will be responsible for overseeing the 142 staff cadets and the 1,495-course cadets that will be coming to the training centre for summer courses.
To earn the summer appointment of WO2, she underwent a week-long selection process at CLCTC where she was tested on everything from military knowledge, her fitness level and deportment. The process also included a lengthy interview with the training centre’s commanding officer where she was quizzed on her past participation in cadets and what skills she could bring to the training centre. “At home I am a flight sergeant so with this appoint-
ment I have a promotion in rank for the summer; which is a huge jump. It really is a great position because I oversee all of the CLCTC operations and I really can get a look in at all the courses the training centre offers,” said Helset who graduated this past June from École Secondaire Notre Dame High School and is a member of the 24 Red Deer Royal Air Cadets Squadron. “It is my job to make sure everything is running smoothly and I have been in
the position for less than a week and so far I have been on the move constantly. It has been fantastic and it truly is a great learning experience.” The CLCTC, located at 4 Wing Cold Lake, is the largest cadet training centre in the Northwest Region and hosts cadets from army, air, and sea cadet units from across western and northern Canada. Over the next six weeks approximately 1,495-course cadets will come to the CLCTC for general training, basic fitness and sports, fitness and sports instructor, basic survival, survival instructor and basic aviation courses. With having been in cadets for six years and attending cadet training centers for three summers, including a general training course, survival instructor course and being a staff cadet for a general training course, Helset has a solid knowledge of the cadets program and is looking forward to helping the younger cadets learn and develop into leaders. “This summer my focus with mentorship is really on the first year staff cadets as for the most part this is their first role in a leadership po-
RECOGNIZED - Earlier this month, 24 Red Deer Royal Air Cadets Squadron member Hailey Helset, right, was chosen as the Warrant Officer Second Class (WO2) for the Support Training Group at the Cold Lake Cadet Training Centre this summer.

sition. It was very hard for me in my first year as a staff cadet without really having a mentor and that is what I really want to accomplish this summer; not only are the course cadets having a great summer but the staff
cadets are being treated accordingly and having the best opportunity they can,” added Helset. Natasha Tersigni is the Unit Public Affairs Representative for the Cold Lake Air Cadet Training Centre.

TRAVEL
LANDMARK - Pictured here is the Acropolis in Athens Greece.
photo submitted
Taking in all of the history in Greece Where to begin with a challenge of writing 750 words about our adventure throughout the Greek Islands, Istanbul and Rome. This is a three part series. Let’s begin with Athens. We arrived a day early before our cruise and was met at the airport by a private driver who quickly got us to our hotel. The hotel, as most in Europe, was small but quaint. We choose our hotels based on location and we couldn’t have picked it better for the amazing view of the Acropolis. The view in the evening from their rooftop restaurant with the Acropolis all lit up was simply out of this world. After a quick nap we grabbed the business card of the hotel so we would always know the address and we headed out. We found ourselves outside the impressive government building with two soldiers standing at attention protecting the Tomb of the Unknown Solider. Across the street we walked into a piazza which was a beehive of activity. We continued on and was surprised at how cosmopoli-
tan this area was. Every brand name store was available along with some very high fashion clothing stores. It was fun just wondering around and taking whatever street we felt like. We were not concerned at all about getting lost as we always had the Acropolis in our view as our guide. After trying some gelato and a local beverage, it was time to return to our hotel for our evening dinner reservations. The meal here was spectacular along with the service. We lingered here as long as we could before our jet lag forced us to our room for the evening. The next morning, we were up bright and early for our tour of Athens and we started with a great breakfast at that was included right at the hotel. Our guide picked us up at the hotel and from there we had a tour of the Acropolis. It is so hard to imagine that the Pantheon has stood here over the City of Athens since 5th BC. For the history buffs this is a place that you most certainly want to visit. After lots of time for picture taking and
learning the history, we were escorted into the Acropolis Museum and was able to see some of the actual artifacts of the Pantheon and learned more about Greek mythology. This was a fascinating museum. It was interesting how they built the museum. You could gaze down through the glass floor panels to see the excavations that revealed some of the exhibits, and hear how the archaeological discoveries delayed the museum’s opening from its scheduled date of 2004. After our tour, we walked back to our hotel room to get ready for our transfer to the beautiful Celebrity Reflection that was to be our home for the next seven days. The next morning, we were able to catch The Hop on Hop Off Bus that was parked right outside of the cruise terminal. We jumped off at the beginning of the Plaka area and started with a great breakfast at a local restaurant, The Karyatis Cafe. We enjoyed sitting and watching all the locals and tourists alike enjoying the beautiful Sunday morning. One
of the first things we noticed were the street dogs and how well cared for they were. The people of Athens look after these dogs and make sure they feed and water them. They were very friendly and had the freedom to go where they wanted without bothering anyone. Walking through the Plaka was a great experience with all the unique stores along the way. You can spend hours just wandering and experiencing the sites and smell of this amazing part of Athens. After we walked around the Plaka we headed back onto the Hop On Hop Off Bus and enjoyed the scenery along the way back to our ship. We were returned back to the ship in plenty of time to get back onboard and get ready for the sail away party. We always enjoy going up to the top to enjoy the excitement as we sailed away from one experience to another. Susan Walker is a travel adviser and the owner of Expedia Cruiseshipcenters in Red Deer.

RED DEER EXPRESS 27
ENTERTAINMENT Red Deer-born JJ Shiplett set to play Fratters BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Singer/songwriter JJ Shiplett – described as ‘rugged, raspy and reserved’ - plays Fratters on July 31st. His latest release, The E.P. came out at the beginning of February and quickly climbed to number three on the Nielsen SoundScan Canadian Country Albums chart and number eight on the overall Country Albums Chart. The project resonates with an irresistible authenticity - each tune frankly comes right from the heart, particularly the slowed down reflective tones of Always For You to the powerful and superbly-crafted single Something to Believe In. These songs will be re-released later this fall as part of a highly-anticipated full-length CD. Shiplett was also direct support to Johnny Reid on the 47 show ‘What Love Is All About Tour’ and quickly gained momentum with The E.P. which again is a testament to his range and depth as an artist. The E.P. was also co-produced with Reid. After Reid heard Shiplett singing on another artist’s track he hunted him down and quickly offered a helping hand, taking him under his wing and working with him to rush The E.P. so that it would be ready for the start of the extensive tour. Talk about a dream come true. Reid literally called up Shiplett out of the blue. “I was in the middle of doing a record and it really wasn’t going the way I wanted it to go - I was really fighting it. I was about to mix the record, and I got a call from Johnny,” he recalls. “So he did hunt me down - it’s really true,” he laughed. “We ended up recording a whole new record so I ended up going down to Nashville. We spent about 10 months doing a new record - basically we just re-recorded a lot of my songs that I had done. “It’s one of those things when you are an artist and you want to start making some headway, you need someone to help you out,” he added of collaborating with Reid. “The great thing about Johnny is that it’s not like it’s about some guy who is just interested in making money - Johnny is actually interested in me succeeding as a

human being and being a better person. “And for me, that’s what I want. At the end of the day, I want to be known as a good person and I want to be surrounded by good people.” As his bio points out, while Shiplett’s uprising may seem like a massive stroke of luck, he has spent the better part of 12 years working in the industry - touring, playing clubs and writing music – telling stories that mean something personal to him, like the uplifting track Higher Ground which was written after the devastating Calgary floods a few years back.
But a love for music was actually sparked early on. Now Calgary-based, Shiplett was born in Red Deer before the family moved off to Brandon, Manitoba. And from the start, music was a primary focus of the family. “My dad was a preacher at church back then, and he sang his heart out all of the time,” Shiplett recalled. “So from an early age, it was instilled in me that we were a musical family.” His folks first off signed him up for piano lessons. Then drum lessons followed, and finally the guitar came along.

All the while, a gift for singing was surfacing as well. “When I was a kid, a family friend of ours wrote out the American national anthem,” he recalls. “I’m a proud Canadian, but that American anthem is quite something. Melodically, and its structure - it’s a very well put together song. “So when I was about five, six or seven years old, I used to go out on the porch and I would just belt it out at the top of my lungs,” he said with a laugh. “So the singing was instilled at a young age as well. I always loved singing. “And there is still nothing better than just being able to belt out a song at the top of your lungs.” As a teen, he started playing in various bands with his buddies, and came all the more into his own as a musician. It was during his teens that a knack for songwriting started to bubble up as well. “I think from that point I also fell in love with the idea of songwriting,” he explained. “I didn’t really know how to do it - and I still don’t really know how to do it - just when you think you’ve got ahold of it, you get your (butt) kicked type of thing,” he added with a laugh. “But I really began to dive into songwriting then,” he said, adding that he eventually ended up in a band with his older sister’s boyfriend where his craft for creating tunes really started to crystallize. “As I was getting deeper into it, I realized that, you know, there’s a lot of power in songwriting. “You’re able to hold this power in your hand and touch people, and make them feel something that they need to feel or that they are supposed to feel or want to feel. You want to hopefully give them something more than the mundane that they may be living through everyday.” Clearly, Shiplett indeed has a way with creating a song. As mentioned, each cut from The E.P. stands strongly on its own, and of course the project as a whole is striking. Ultimately, the stage is clearly where Shiplett belongs, and one of the places where he feels most at home. “I literally have my best pals on stage with me,” he said. “We hang out all the time, we’re really close friends - that’s the part that I love. I love getting up onstage with my brothers and playing music.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

That’s the case currently for fiddler Ben Plotnick, formerly of Calgary and now a newly-settled Nashvillian, and cellist/vocalist Kaitlyn Raitz. The two are performing in a house concert in Red Deer on July 31st. And though they’ve only started playing folk, bluegrass, Appalachian and stringband music together this past year, they have a combined resume that speaks to a lifetime of dedication to these styles and more. From jazz to country to classical and everywhere in between, they’ve appeared on dozens upon dozens of professional albums. For Plotnick, 29, his extensive musical background is as diverse as it is accomplished. And with the move to Nashville, he hopes to continue to make contacts, collaborate with other musicians and explore his own individual artistry. “It’s the centre of so many kinds of music right now,” he said of ‘Music City’. Prior to the move, he had called Toronto home for about four years. “Toronto has an impression of what’s happening in Nashville, but it feels to me that Nashville specifically has all the people who I admire the most. “There is also a huge history of bluegrass musicians
living down there which has a big influence for me,” he said. “So I think it will be very helpful for inspiration. I can’t wait to dive in - I’ve kind of had to put the whole thing on hold with touring until October,” he added with a laugh. After strings of shows in Canada, he’ll be heading over the Germany for a number of dates as well. As for his collaboration with Raitz, who is originally from New York, Plotnick said the pair met by being on the same tour. “We hit it off musically right away,” he said, adding that Raitz’s cello playing isn’t something that people might initially associate with folk-styled music. But Plotnick was struck by the originality of it. It wasn’t long before they made the decision to team up for an EP, which was released this past spring and reflects what the duo is all about with its homespun, acoustic richness. Plotnick said the recording sessions were rather seamless, as both melded their years of experience as musicians into a fresh new sound that just came quite naturally. Meanwhile, not many people can say that they’ve performed as a classical soloist with professional level orchestras, played with country bands at festivals for more than 40,000 people, studied jazz music at university and played bluegrass and old time fiddle tunes on five continents. As mentioned, Plotnick knows plenty about the

Last year, he was in Red Deer for a show as part of Rye & Fairy Tales with fellow multi-instrumentalist Jarred Albright. Before that, and for several years, Plotnick enjoyed the role of educator by hosting FiddleMania events in Central Alberta, and has always enjoyed sharing his craft with local audiences as well. Past CDs include Dancing at the End of the World, Music is not a Museum and his
own solo debut The Quiet Streets. Next up for him is a release called Greenland, set for release this summer. Plotnick describes it as a ‘Texas swing’ record. “It’s all original music and mostly instrumental,” he said, adding that several guest singers are featured on the project. Copies will be available at the show in Red Deer, he said. For Plotnick, a passion for music was sparked early on. He was introduced to the violin when he was five years

“I ALSO FIND IT HELPFUL TO REMEMBER THAT THE MUSIC ITSELF HAS TO KIND OF BE ITS OWN REWARD.” BEN PLOTNICK old. Both his parents have performed with the Calgary Philharmonic, so naturally music was simply a part of his growing up years. And although he focused on classical music through his childhood, he began to experiment with other styles of music as well. He eventually became a member of the Mount Royal College’s Academy of Music program, which expanded into a five-year career with the Calgary Youth Orchestra. “When I went to school, I studied jazz so I ended up studying three kinds of music pretty seriously – classical, jazz and the fiddle,” he recalls of his diverse background and learning experiences. Early on, Plotnick knew he wanted to share the joys of fiddling with others, so he spearheaded what became known as FiddleMania - a summer camp which was held in Cochrane and focused on the intricacies of fiddling. It ran for several years under his guidance. He was also a member of the aforementioned world-renowned group - the Calgary Fiddlers. Before his 18th birthday, he had performed in New Zealand,
South Korea, the UK and all across North America. After studying jazz at Humber College in Toronto, Plotnick made his way back to Alberta. He wanted to dive right into the local fiddling scene so he promptly checked out the Celtic scene. He recalls chatting with a fiddler who pointed out that in his opinion, melding fiddle music with other genres just shouldn’t be done. That didn’t sit well with Plotnick, but he found it to be a common belief. But it hardly proved an obstacle, as he continued to broaden his horizons creatively speaking. Over the years, he’s never wavered from his dedication to expressing himself as he sees fit - regardless of a tendency of some to try and categorize genres and styles. For details about the Red Deer house concert, email Plotnick at info@ BenPlotnick.com. For Plotnick, after all these years, the sheer joy of performing and making music wields an irresistible charm. “I also find it helpful to remember that the music itself has to kind of be its own reward.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Creating actions to accomplish your goals Without this, your are lost. You hear it all the time - dreams, hopes, goals, plans, intentions - all the things that people want to accomplish and get done or have but there is usually a single step that is missing. The key ingredient that controls all success or failure - action. Something similar has been assigned to half a dozen people - a goal without action is a dream (or a wish). It’s true and we see it all the time in the fitness world. I too am guilty of it. I want to be more fit, more lean - as I eat a donut. I want to eat better but without setting aside time to cook or prepare healthy food, I too am stuck just grabbing whatever as the day steamrolls over me. It’s one of the reasons I love to sign up for big races; it is an external goal that pulls on me as soon as I register. It demands action by virtue of the deadline. That is powerful stuff! It is the reason I have a coach and truly believe in having one. My coach sets up my plan based on my race season, current fitness and work load. He does not care how I feel and that right there is key. His plan forces me to take action on a daily basis and to get out of my own way. That said, having a brilliant plan and not following it accomplishes nothing. It’s like buying a great book and never reading it or buying the best cookbook full of recipes that will change your health, but if you never make a meal from it - useless. The latest six week program I ran (a ladies only program), involved just that - a cookbook full of healthy recipes and a meal plan that made sure the people in the challenge used nearly every recipe in it, plus we had all the classes to create strength (the action steps). The results were amazing (some ladies dropped over 20 lbs.), and there was a total paradigm shift in the big challenge of knowing what to eat that is yummy and healthy at the same time. We did have one person that didn’t have success in the program. She did not attend classes, did not follow the meal plan and never made a single recipe from the book in spite of all efforts to help. Nothing wrong with that (we just gave a refund), but it does illustrate again - a plan without action is just a wish and wishes change nothing. So write out your goals today. Make them specific and make them about actions, not results. For example, if your goal is to drop 10 lbs of fat in the next
Scott
McDERMOTT two months, great! But that is not an ‘action goal’ and you can’t actually ‘go drop 10 lbs’ as a thing to do no matter
how hard you tried. But what you can do is set goals that will lead you to that 10 lb weight change. Set up goals like going to the gym and attending class three times this week. Spend four hours on Sunday preparing healthy foods and placing them in the fridge and freezer so they are ready to eat all week. Drink two litres of water each day while cutting out pop or sugary drinks. Go for a 20 minute
walk after supper five nights this week. Get at least seven and a half hours of sleep each night. Do you see how all of those things have to do with action towards the goal, but none of them involve the actual goal? That is the key! If you do those things that 10 lbs does not stand a chance! Scott McDermott is a personal trainer and the owner of Best Body Fitness in Sylvan Lake.

What they don’t tell you about baldness and heart attack A Czech proverb says, “A good man grows gray and a rascal bald.” And Thomas Dekker wrote in The Gull’s Hornbook in 1609, “How ugly is a bald pate! It looks like a face wanting a nose.” Now, a Japanese report says that men with baldness should be less concerned about how it affects their looks. Rather, is the lack of hair associated with increased risk of coronary attack? The Japanese findings were published online in the British Medical Journal, Open. The study involved 40,000 males whose hair pattern was graded as either frontal, crown-top
Dr. Gifford
JONES baldness or a combination of the two. The conclusion was that not all bald men are created equal. Men with frontal baldness had a 22% increased risk of coronary disease. For those males with crown-top baldness, the risk increased to 52% and if men had both crown-top baldness and frontal loss of hair, the risk increased to 69%.

also reported that a man’s chance of heart disease depends on when hair loss started, how fast it is occurring and that hair loss on the top of the head was more likely to be associated with coronary disease. Medical literature, however, cites a number of studies that were unable to find a significant association between hair loss and heart disease. Other good news is that those with just receding hairlines were not at increased risk of heart trouble. But what causes baldness? The reason for this loss of hair is not clear. Dr. Tomohide Yamada at the University of Tokyo speculates that hormones might play a role. And that insulin resistance, the forerunner of diabetes, may be implicated since it causes atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries). Atherosclerosis is mentioned in several reports on hair loss and suggests that if baldness is present atherosclerosis should be suspected. So what should balding males do, particularly those who lose hair on the top of the head at an early age? They should enquire
whether male relatives who suffered hair loss had a coronary at an early age. And if this is the case, start to eliminate as many risk factors as possible that are known to be associated with heart disease. If further research shows that atherosclerosis is a major cause of hair loss, doctors will want to treat it the same way as they treat atherosclerosis in coronary disease. This means 99% of doctors will prescribe cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLDs). Many readers are aware that I had a heart attack 19 years ago and said no to CLDs. Rather, I decided to take high doses of Vitamin C and lysine in a product called Medi-C Plus available in Health Food Stores. I had interviewed Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, who told me animals make Vitamin C and humans lost this ability eons ago due to a genetic mishap. Pauling explained that Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together. A lack of C means a poor collagen level. Cracks then appear between coronary cells set-
ting the stage for a fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made a monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries of patients and then gave them 6,000 milligrams of C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the photos. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away. In effect, Vitamin C can prevent and reverse atherosclerosis. These before-and-after photos are on my web site www.docgiff.com and you do not need to be a doctor to see the difference. But remember I am not your doctor. Moreover long term double blind studies will never be done as Vitamin C and lysine are natural products that cannot be patented. This means that no one is going to spend millions for a study without a profit. But I believed Pauling’s research made sense. Besides, I’m still alive 19 years later when cardiologists said I’d be dead in two years without CLDs. For more, visit www.docgiff.com. Email questions to info@docgiff.com.

Riggers come up big in home tournament BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The Red Deer Riggers will be heading into the post-season with all of the momentum on their side after winning their home tournament last weekend. The home team posted a perfect 4-0 record in the 36th annual installment of the eight team Red Deer tournament, which took place from Friday through Sunday at Great Chief Park last weekend. “It was a really, really good weekend. We got four wins and you know we kind of had to battle in some games and we were down in some games and had to battle back. It was just a good effort by everybody,” said Riggers’ Head Coach and shortstop Jason Chatwood, whose team recently clinched first place in the Sunburst Baseball League with a 16-1 overall record. Red Deer kicked off the tournament in a big way last Friday night as they posted a convincing 10-0 win over the Calgary Cardinals of the Foothills Major Baseball Association, ending the game in six innings. Riggers starting pitcher Tyler Vavra stood tall on the mound, allowing just one hit and no runs in six innings of work for the complete game shutout. “He was very, very good on the mound,” Chatwood said of the starter, adding the Riggers’ offense also came through in a big way. “We had some clutch hits when we needed to and played a solid game and took advantage of some of their mistakes.” From that point on there was no looking back for the hosts, as they carried that momentum into Saturday evening’s game against Sunburst League rivals, the Confederation Park Cubs. “It was the same thing. It was a close game throughout most of the game and then near the end we had solid pitching, again from Dustin Northcott. We need-
ed a run at the end there but we found a way and got it done,” said Chatwood of the slightly closer 5-3 win, which clinched a berth in Sunday’s playoff round. After the dust settled on the round-robin portion of the tournament, just four of the eight teams remained to compete for the title, with the Cubs taking on the Sherwood Park Athletics, who are the second place team in the Sunburst League, in one semi-final game and the Riggers squaring off with the St. Albert Tigers in the other. “The same kind of thing happened with us with the Tigers. We had solid pitching throughout the whole weekend and we got our hits and our runs when we needed to and we made the big plays when we needed to,” Chatwood remarked about the semi-final game, in which the Riggers came away with a 6-2 victory thanks, in part, to the arm of Josh Edwards. That win set up a showdown between the top two teams in the Sunburst League that would not only potentially be a preview of this year’s league finals, but also a grudge match between two bitter rivals. You see, it was the A’s that handed the Riggers their one and only loss this season, toppling the then undefeated team 6-4 earlier this month. On the other side, it was the Riggers who, last week, killed the A’s last hope of winning first place after knocking off their rivals 10-9 last Wednesday. With all of the bad blood between the two teams, it’s no wonder the game turned out to be one of the closest of the tournament. “The final sounded like it was a pretty scrappy game. They’d get up and then we’d battle back and then they’d go up and we’d battle back,” Chatwood said. It was a back and forth affair, with both teams scoring in bunches. The Riggers jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the second in-

But the Riggers battled back, posting five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to go up 9-6. The A’s didn’t waste any time tying it up, though, scoring three runs in the top of the fifth to even things out in the seven inning contest. In the end, though, the Riggers found a way to win, scoring Edwards on an error after having advanced him into scoring position with a well timed bunt by Jaret Chatwood. The single run was all the home team would need to secure the victory as closer Drew Boyer came in to slam the door in the seventh, sitting down all three batters he faced to seal the deal and pick up the save.

We’ll have a couple of practices and gear up for Friday.” While it’s not yet clear which team the Riggers will be taking on in the first round of playoffs, Chatwood said the team is taking a wait and see approach. “Things are just settling in in the standings as far as who we’ll face in the first round. It looks like it’ll either be the Cubs or the Tigers.” The Red Deer Riggers’ final game of the regular season will be this Friday when they travel to Spruce Grove to take on the Parkland White Sox.

We had some really good crowds for it throughout the weekend, for all of our games. A lot of people came out and we had some awesome weather. It was some good baseball and it’s always nice to win your home tournament,” Chatwood said. He added with just one game remaining in the regular season and first place already locked up, the Riggers will now turn their attention to preparing for the playoffs. “This week we had such a busy week. Guys are going to need a little bit of rest and we’ve got some guys that might be a little bit banged up. They just kind of

Red Deer Titans U15 boys take home silver BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS It wasn’t quite the end to the season that they had hoped for, but the Red Deer Titans U15 boys rugby team are holding their heads high after taking home the provincial silver medal last weekend. After putting up a perfect 9-0 record in Calgary Rugby Union play this season, the boys in purple finally met their match last Saturday when they took on the also undefeated Edmonton Druids U15 of the Edmonton Rugby Union in the provincial final in Calgary. “They were probably the toughest team we played all year. They were surprisingly big. Noticeably, right off the bat that was the first thing we noticed about them was how big they were,” said U15 Titans’ Coach Sean Tindall of the matchup, which saw the ERU champion Druids pick up a 35-10 victory over the CRU champion Titans. “They ran well. I think we actually, overall, moved the ball better than they did, but their big kids were able to just run it right back to us.” Although the loss in the final was a tough pill to swallow for the Red Deer team, Tindall said they’re proud of all that
they have accomplished over the course of this season. “We have nothing to be ashamed of. We played some fantastic teams this year and we won some real battles. I think the kids are really bummed after the loss, but you need that one way or the other. It sucks to get it at the provincial final but if I had to do this season again, I would do it the same way. “Being 9-0 going into the provincial final, that ain’t nothing.” Tindall added that, on a technical level, one of the keys for the team this season has been their ability to move the ball quickly to the outside. “We had a couple of big kids, but overall we weren’t a large team, so that was the game plan was to get the ball out wide as quickly as we can and use that space.” But beyond the technical aspects of the game, one of the things that really stood out about this team was their heart. “It’s the Titans’ core values. You’re a bit of a family; you don’t choose your teammates. You play with passion, you play with heart and you take pride in what you’re doing and tough it out when things get tough. These kids did that.” It was a magical season for the young rugby players, who Tindall said didn’t set
out at the beginning of the year gunning for a championship. “I play myself and I was getting more nervous for these U15 games than I was for my own games,” laughed Tindall, a member of the Titans’ Men’s squad.
“IT’S THE TITANS’ CORE VALUES. YOU’RE A BIT OF A FAMILY; YOU DON’T CHOOSE YOUR TEAMMATES. YOU PLAY WITH PASSION, YOU PLAY WITH HEART AND YOU TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND TOUGH IT OUT WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH. THESE KIDS DID THAT.” SEAN TINDALL He added that for him, it has been a pretty wild ride this year. “At first I was a little bit in disbelief because, you know, we did alright last year but this was quite a different feeling,” Tindall recalled of his mindset when the team got off to such a fantastic start this season. “Then it was the realization that we were implementing our game plan better than the teams we were playing. We were
playing better, and that was the realization that we were in the hunt for more than just a good season. It might become a great season.” But for the coach, victories and championships, though nice to get, weren’t necessarily the focus for the team of young and developing rugby players. “The only real goal I have is to try to develop them into better rugby players. I have a relationship with Rugby Alberta at the U16 team level and one of my own goals is to get as many players from the Red Deer program into the U16 Alberta program. That involves, partly, developing them from a skill perspective as rugby players but also just developing them as good kids. Character goes a long way,” he said, adding that the team had as many as seven players make the first cut for that program this year. Still, it’s not very often that you get a team that gel and play together quite the way that this one has, and when it happens it’s a pretty special feeling. “It’s hard to find words when you see that. It’s the kind of thing that you know it when you see it but it’s hard to describe, it’s hard to teach,” said Tindall “I just wanted the kids to play good rugby, and that’s what they did.” Meanwhile last weekend, the Titans U13 boys took home the provincial bronze medal on Saturday after defeating the Calgary Canucks, taking away the last minute win in overtime. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Figuring out the right window coverings Covering and decorating windows can be a challenge. Even if several homes are the same model with similar windows the needs of the homeowners can be vast. Take window inventory around your home. Write down each window and list the activities you perform in each room. The following questions may be used as a guideline: 1. Do I need privacy in this space? (If you can see out, they can see in). 2. Do I need light control? (Media room/ kids room/shift work). 3. Do I need the window treatment to control heat, cold or sound? 4. How much room do I have surrounding the window and how deep is the casing?
Kim
WYSE Answering these questions will help focus your search for window coverings. Are the window treatments functional or decorative? Do you need more pizzazz and colour in the room or should the treatment blend into the existing décor? A rule of thumb for a blind/drapery combination is to treat the blinds as the functional part for the above considerations and have them neutral and matching to your décor.
Condos Start at $ 226,900 Including GST 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths Immediate Possession
Blinds blend into the room when they are co-ordinated with either the wall or trim colour and serve as a practical backdrop for drapery. Drapery is then added for a splash of colour and design which will frame the windows and give personality to the room. Drapery can also add needed light blocking and an effective sound barrier. I like to think of draperies as jewelry - that perfect pair of earrings for your favourite dress. Choosing blinds without drapery? You may want to use them as a decorative feature so choose products with more colour and drama but keep in mind that blinds will serve you for several years and may ‘ugly’ out before they stop serving their purpose.
Natural products such as wood/bamboo and linen looks are good choices as they work well with any wall or furniture colour and fabric choices that are neutral or co-ordinated with trim and paint colour have more longevity when it comes to style. Starting with identifying the function and needs of your windows will save you time when you are able to start shopping. Being armed with information and a clear definition of what your home needs will make some of the vast choices less overwhelming. Trust your local blind expert with this decision as the investment is long term and can be very rewarding. Kim Wyse is a local freelance designer.
