Food For Friends providing assistance to families Officials from local organizations and churches refer clients BY JOSEPH HO Express staff

she co-founded the annual Dessert Gala which benefits the pediatric unit at the hospital. She ran for public office in the last provincial election, as the Alberta Party candidate in Red Deer-North. She’s modelled Food for Friends in Red Deer after a program of the same name in Woodstock, Ont. One reason why she likes this method for solving food insecurity is that it’s efficient, with low overhead. Kromm adds that when it comes to food, there’s a place for the more well-off (grocery stores) and those in a more challenging place (food banks). Food for Friends aims to ensure that everybody has access to food in the same manner. “It helps them maintain their dignity. They have higher self-esteem. They feel better. When people feel better and not so vulnerable to the world, they

There’s a new organization in Red Deer seeking to feed the hungry. The group is called Food for Friends. But instead of distributing hampers, Food for Friends gives clients cards so they can pay for their own groceries at the cash register. They can be spent on non-taxable foods, such as produce, meat, cereals and some dairy products. Krystal Kromm-Wieler heads the pilot project, which launched in the fall. Food for Friends has helped six families so far, she said. Kromm is not a stranger to public service in this City. She has served as vice-president of the Downtown Business Association, as a citizen representative on the Community Housing Advisory Board and

NEW EXPERIENCE - Clockwise from left, Osama Alkasir and his friend Yousuf Falih helped Mohammed Abady (middle) learn how to skate at Bower Ponds last week. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express excel in life,” Kromm said. “People who are in the program feel empowered because they get to choose the food that they get to eat.” Food for Friends cards are currently accepted at Sobeys South. There are several agencies that refer clients to Food for Friends: Canadian Mental Health, Family Services of Central Alberta, Cosmos and a few churches: Crossroads, Sunnybrook United Church

and Gaetz United Memorial Church. The organization recognizes that food insecurity is a symptom of income inequality. Kromm said there’s much advocacy work that needs to be done, at all levels of government, including lobbying for poverty reduction strategies. As the web site points out, “While the hope that Food for Friends will empower and educate people on better food choices, leading to healthier lifestyles,

we are still a reaction to the fact that there are people in our communities who need food. “The bigger picture is income inequality and what municipal, provincial and federal orders of government are going to do to address this growing concern. Food for Friends will advocate for poverty reduction strategies and stay current with recommendations from different community organizations and the government for increasing access to food.”

Meanwhile, Kromm emphasized the importance of partnering as well in tackling the issue overall. “We live in one of the most prosperous parts of the world and yet families are going hungry and consuming less nutrient-dense foods just to make ends meet,” she said. “That’s not O.K. What can we do here, how can we work together to build everyone in our community up?” joseph.ho@reddeerexpress.com

First-ever Red Deer Entertainment Awards runs Jan. 14th Event to honour those committed to City’s growing music scene BY MARK WEBER Express staff

rganizers are thrilled to be presenting the first-ever Red Deer Entertainment Awards - a terrific opportunity to honour several local artists, promoters and others committed to advancing the local music scene. The event, slated for Jan. 14th at The Vat, is being presented by Green Goose Entertainment - a company that was founded by Jesse Roads. As he explained, the awards are a tremendous chance to recognize plenty of local talent and the folks that work so hard to bring it to the forefront for local fans, too. Hosted by ‘That Don Cherry Guy’, the evening will also feature performances by Wiklund Vs. Wiklund, Damian La Grange, Ryan Marchant, Balaclava, Randi Boulton and Supertrucker.

▾ “IT’S BEEN SOMETHING I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT DOING FOR A FEW YEARS - DOING SOME SORT OF RECOGNITION NIGHT. AND AWAY WE WENT - WE FINALLY DECIDED, LET’S JUST DO IT!”

Jesse Roads ▴

There are a number of categories, from Promoter of the Year, a Venue Recognition Award, an Open Stage Award, Group of the Year, New Group of the Year, Cover Band of the Year, Singer/Songwriter of the Year and Achievement Award, the Red Deer Scene Award, the Comedy Achievement Award, the Comedy Recognition Award and the Social Contribution Award. Examples of some of the nominees this year include Quan Diep and Justin Shadows for ‘Promoter of the Year’; Damian La Grange, Balaclava and Tigermilk for ‘New Group of the Year’; 89, The KlamDaggers and Sharkpuncher for ‘Cover Band of the Year’ and Randi Boulton, Ryan Carnduff, Bradley Abel, Curtis Phagoo and Shiv Shanks for ‘Singer/Songwriter of the Year’. Roads said that over the years, he’s often heard bands touring through Red Deer comment on the camaraderie they witness among local groups.

MUSICAL MIND - Jesse Roads, the driving force behind the upcoming Red Deer Entertainment Awards, posed for a photo in his home in Red Deer last week. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express “Everyone kind of helps out whenever it’s necessary,” he explained. That, along with the fact there is plenty of top-notch talent living and performing right here in the City and across Central Alberta were some of the reasons he started mulling the idea of staging an awards show specific to Red Deer awhile back. “It’s been something I’ve thought about doing for a few years - doing some sort of recognition night. And away we went - we finally decided, let’s just do it! “There has been great, great support so far,” he said, adding that the plan is to launch this event as an annual occasion. It wasn’t easy narrowing down the lists of nominees for the inaugural event, but Roads said the basic route to getting there was selecting folks who are some of the most recognizable

names in the business at this point in time on the local front. Roads’ passion for music stretches back to his youth. “At a young age, my favourite stuff when I first got into music - from the time I was six until I was about 10 - I was obsessed with Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis. I just loved it. “You take both of those performers right there - they are two of the most iconic frontmen in rock and roll history,” he said. “The way they would be onstage - I just kind of thought, wow, it was just captivating.” So inspiration was sparked early. One year, he landed a guitar for Christmas and yet another step in the journey was taken. He later ended up working with musician Carson Cole for a time, and calls him a key mentor for a time in Roads’ own musical development. “It just really went from there.

“From then on, it was just full-tilt music.” Indeed. Over the years, Roads has enjoyed a prolific career as a musician. Music in general provides a fantastic means of self-expression. “You can take a creative liberty with something that happened to you this morning or 10 years ago and you can spill your guts - do whatever you want - it’s such a cathartic process when it comes down to performing it onstage 10 nights in a row.” Eventually, he also established Green Goose Entertainment as a means to further explore opportunities in promotion and creativity. “Now, it’s not just music but entertainment as a whole,” he explained. “I’ve built this whole thing now where I’ve got this whole roster of entertainers,” he said, clearly excited to see the impact of networking and the opportunities that

flow from that. In the meantime, excitement for the Red Deer Entertainment Awards is rapidly building. “There’s nothing like a little pat on the back - some encouragement from your peers,” he said. “This is our home scene - there’s nothing wrong with having everyone in Terry’s living room essentially (Terry Cave - owner of The Vat) having a couple of drinks - there’s something to be said about having your peer group say, ‘Hey, great job’. “There deserves to be a pat on the back for the local entertainment scene as a whole,” he added. “Let’s recognize each other. Let’s get together and recognize the fact that we have this awesome scene.” For more information, check out ‘Green Goose Entertainment’ on facebook. mark.weber@reddeerexpress.com

Hope Mission continues to reach more youth BY MARK WEBER Express staff

Hope Mission continues to fulfill its mandate by reaching more local young people then ever before. Staff with the not-for-profit Christian social care agency have been busy connecting with kids and families through schools in the City. Those connections come through primarily through the Kids In Action and the Youth in Action programs. Last year was the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year working with Grade 6 to 8 students, noted Kelly Row, Red Deer program manager, adding that they had close to 80 kids had initially signed up in four schools (Glendale, Normandeau, G.H. Dawe and Central). â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is in addition to our close to 170 students signed up for our Kids In Action after school program. It is our second year running this program in four schools (Glendale, Normandeau, G.H. Dawe and Aspen Heights).â&#x20AC;? The Kids in Action after school program was launched in the fall of 2015, while Youth in Action was rolled out just

this past fall after Thanksgiving - Row said that school staff were also interested in a program for the older kids as they enter their teenage years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got approval from our bosses up in Edmonton to expand and to take on a youth ministry, so we hired two fulltime staff,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the team took some time last September to build the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The schools had already committed to letting us come in - so we had partners already established. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The schools have been very supportive - they could see the need before we even got there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are also excited to see what the end results are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we shot for a group of 20 kids in each school, and again we are wait-listed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lots of kids signed up and they are enjoying the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also looking at helping them learn some new skills, build character and build healthy relationships,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding there is also a nutrition component too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far in the skill development (component), we looked into dance, sculpture and drama with them with more skills to come as the year goes on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the character building,

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned principles about patience, perseverance and forgiveness,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we have started out from, and where we are headed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are trying to do is to create a little family within the schools; to see them have new friendships develop and to learn that we are in this together,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to provide an atmosphere where there is more support and encouragement for the kids.â&#x20AC;? Kids in Action is also a mentorship and meal program where kids participate in fun activities and learn from mentors who model positive, healthy lifestyles. Hope Mission began in 1929 in Edmonton as a soup kitchen and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter. Today, the organization has grown into an Alberta-wide social care agency serving men, women, youth and children. Meanwhile, the roots of the youth programs go back to when staff and volunteers at Edmontonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hope Mission started seeing more youth hanging around the facility there. Staff felt that it was vital to get involved with kids and youth at early stages to help provide positive influences that

CONNECTING - Local youth enjoy some time together via the Youth In Action program that is run by Hope Mission. The program offers youth mentoring opportunities plus several fun activities to take part in. photo submitted could help them make good life choices down the road. As Row has said, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of work to do amongst the students in terms of prevention - helping to steer the youth in the direction of making the best

choices for their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a preventative branch of our ministry.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, establishing a fullfledged youth centre would be a terrific addition to the community, he said.

The couple also had her named picked out prior to her birth as well. Meanwhile, the couple, who left the hospital for home Tuesday morning, were excited and grateful for the new addition to their family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a new blessing for a New Year,â&#x20AC;? said Bishop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shaping up to be a good year so far.â&#x20AC;? mark.weber@reddeerexpress.com

Christmas tree pick-up Members of the Red Deer Firefighters will once again provide the voluntary Christmas tree pick-up service to Red Deer homes. Residents can place Christmas trees on their front lawn for pick up beginning Jan. 8th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas tree pick-up is not a City-funded service and we rely on the generous donations to keep this annual campaign alive. With the increase in artificial trees, our donations have rapidly declined over the last 10 years. We thank everyone who continues to participate.â&#x20AC;? said Brad Readman with IAFF Red Deer Local 1190.

Donations to the Red Deer Firefighters Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charity can be made directly to the firefighter picking up your tree, or mailed in the pre-addressed envelope left in your mailbox. Receipts are issued for upon request. Donations to the Red Deer Firefighters Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charity are used to support local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the Red Deer Firefighters and Local 1190, we thank all residents for their continued support,â&#x20AC;? said Readman. -Weber

police briefs by Mark Weber DISTURBANCE NEAR GOLDEN CIRCLE At 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 31st, RCMP responded to a report of a disturbance at a residence near the Golden Circle on 48 Ave. When they arrived, they located a man who was wanted on a number of outstanding warrants, and took him into custody. RCMP spent some time investigating the disturbance report as well, but determined nothing criminal had taken place. Michael Cory Madsen, 41, of Red Deer was arrested shortly after 1 p.m. on Dec. 31st and transported to Red Deer detachment. He was remanded until his court appearance this past

Monday at 9:30 a.m. in Red Deer. As well as his outstanding warrants, he faces an additional charge of resist/obstruct peace officer for the Dec. 31st incident.

FATAL COLLISION NEAR INNISFAIL On Dec. 29th at approximately 1:40 a.m. Innisfail Detachment members were dispatched to a report of two semi trucks and trailers that were in the ditch on the west side of the QEII Highway. Investigation revealed that one northbound semi truck and trailer crossed over the median and ended up in the west ditch. A Good Samaritan pulled over to assist and was outside

the vehicle with the driver of the semi, when another southbound semi truck ran into the debris from the first collision, and was forced into the ditch, striking both of the people who were outside of their vehicles.

G.H. Dawe Memorial Award of Excellence

Dog continues to heal after attack BY JOSEPH HO Express staff

A few days after surviving a cougar attack in a wooded area outside a Whitecourt Tim Hortons, Sasha the five-year-old husky is back lounging in her bed, not making a sound. Back home in Red Deer, her owner, 31-yearold William Gibb, said he never had any time to consider the risks, when he pursued the big cat to rescue his dog on Boxing Day. “I had a little voice in the back of my head going, ‘That’s a cougar, you’re going to get hurt but have at ‘er’,” Gibb said. Gibb had stopped at the Tim Hortons and let his two dogs out for a bathroom break. It was soon after that the cougar attacked Sasha. Gibb punched the predator in the head. The dog escaped with two large gashes on her chest, four puncture wounds in the neck and a few other cuts and scrapes. She needed 28 stitches. Luckily for Gibb, not only is she going to be fine, the vet bills were lower than expected. “Hilltop Veterinary Clinic was very generous and very kind with their billing,” he said. Gibb’s story has garnered wide interest from the news media. “As far as the media attention, it’s been a little surreal. It’s kind of silly. People are making a big deal out of something that I personally believe a lot of others would do,” Gibb said. He references the viral video of a man punching a kangaroo that caught his dog in a headlock. In his view, it’s not uncommon that people would protect their pets. “I believe there are a lot of us who would do the exact same thing for our pets, our families, our friends without any second thought to our safety,” Gibb said. Gibb sports a few red marks on his hands and wrists from fighting off the cougar. Love taps, he calls them. In fact, Gibb said he was relieved it was he, his brother and another friend who encountered the animal and not a family with small children. “At least we had the capability to deal with it better than most. I’m just happy nobody else was hurt through the process,” he said.

An outdoorsman, Gibb enjoys hiking, camping and gold panning. Despite the incident, Gibb hasn’t changed his view of wildlife, which he holds a reverence for. The opportunity to be close to nature is one of the great things about Canada, he said. “I’ve always held the notion that they’re beautiful creatures, they deserve to be respected, they deserve to be left alone. It’s unfortunate one had to come that close and attack and be destroyed in the end,” he said. “Seeing them out in the wild, seeing them do their thing is just magnificent. I just hope we can find a way we can co-exist without worrying about our little critters getting eaten,” he said. joseph.ho@reddeerexpress.com

Consider giving the gift of life

Five steps to improving your life in 2017

It’s not exactly a topic many people care to bring up, but that does nothing to diminish its importance. There seems to be some reluctance on the part of many to sign up as organ donors, and that’s something the province is trying to change via an ongoing awareness-building campaign. Organ donation is when an organ (heart, lung, kidney for example) is removed from one person and transplanted into another person. Tissue donation is when tissues (for example - skin, corneas or bone) are removed from one person and transplanted into another. Perhaps one of the reasons the whole topic doesn’t garner the attention it deserves is because folks don’t know how incredibly beneficial signing on as an organ donor can be. It can mean literally the difference between life or death for someone who has maybe been waiting months or even years for news of a donor. Currently, there are more than 700 Albertans on transplant waitlists. There are also more than 4,500 Canadians waiting for a transplant that will save their lives. And even more people are waiting for tissue transplants that will make the quality of their lives better. The good news is that Alberta’s rate of deceased donors is increasing, from 9.9 deceased donors per million in 2012, to 13.6 in 2014. About 2,500 Albertans register every week to become organ and tissue donors. And just one organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and make life better for up to 75 other people. In the two years since the government launched the Alberta Organ and Tissue Donation Registry and enlisted a network of registries to help, more than 250,000 Albertans have signed up to become donors. Albertans can go to MyHealth.Alberta.ca and find information about organ, tissue and body donation and a link to the registry. You must have your Alberta Personal Health Care Number to enter the registry, and the online registry will guide you through the process. First off, it’s a topic worth bringing up with your loved ones. Feelings about organ donation run the gamut from those who are perfectly willing to do so to those who are pretty much against the concept from the get-go. That’s really why, ultimately, communication is so very important. As the web site points out, if you want to be an organ and/or tissue donor - talk about your wishes with your family and tell them exactly what you want to happen when you die. The province also requests that residents call a Living Donor Program in your area if you want to be a living donor (kidney or part of the lung or liver, or tissue such as bone marrow or stem cells). An example of this is when a brother gives one of his two kidneys to his sister or a mother gives part of her liver to her child. Clearly, it’s an amazing gift. And to that end, perhaps no one could say it better than 14-year-old Cooper Pirtle. “It’s my mission to raise awareness on organ donation because, as one of 23 grandchildren to a double-lung transplant recipient, I can say on behalf of my family, it means everything to us,” said Cooper. “In my efforts, I will continue to inform people on how easy it is to register as a donor, to make posters and hand out pamphlets, and talk to your family and to push for my idea to have green ribbon coffee cups at Tim Hortons during Organ Donation Awareness month in April.”

I relish the opportunity to reflect on the year – and give thought to what I want to be different going forward, and how I will accomplish that. I gave up making actual resolutions years ago; like everyone else, my follow-through was short-lived and ended in disappointment. But I like to experiment with new habits and practices that might improve my life. When I find things that work for me, it’s amazing how many of them actually stick over time. For me, the trick is to view them as experiments rather than resolutions. Ideas for how to improve my life don’t spontaneously pop into my brain. They trickle in through things I read, conversations I have, podcasts I listen to. In reviewing my 2016 journal and the experiments I’ve tried, here are my top five suggestions for how you might improve your life, too. Breathe. Western culture is obsessed with the act of thinking. Our bodies are machines and our goal is to drive that machine as hard as we can. We are a disembodied culture, one that has lost its connection with the miracle that is our physical being. One of the reasons interest in things like meditation and yoga have surged is because those practices help us turn our attention away from the mind and toward our bodies and our breath in a caring and compassionate way. It’s beginning to dawn on us that to really experience the fullness of life, we need to have a healthy connection to our body. If you want to do one thing to improve your life this year, I would encourage you to focus on your breath. Maybe this means joining a yoga class. Maybe it just means pausing a couple of times a day to close your eyes and notice your breathing. Experience wonder. We spend a lot of time and energy looking for inspiration, for something that will fire up our motivation. I don’t think we spend enough time allowing ourselves to experience the world through our hearts. Advertisers know the power of wonder. They know we’re a little bit more open and vulnerable at this time of year, so they spoon-feed us heart-wrenching commercials in a bid to earn our trust. The world will spontaneously combust into wonder if you let it. It can happen walking in the forest, watching children play, reading poetry. All it requires is that you be fully engaged and present. Experiencing a daily dose of wonder will change

your life. Be vulnerable. We all need to show more vulnerability. Our culture worships strength and punishes weakness. The trouble is, we’re only human. By turning our eyes away from our frailties and failings, we cut ourselves off from the fullness of life, from experiencing what it means to be human. It causes us to be fearful and ashamed of being ourselves. The most powerful thing you can do as a leader, a parent or a friend is to allow others to see your weakness. Sit with discomfort. We hate discomfort. Our immediate instinct is to run away – physically, mentally and emotionally. One of the most powerful insights I’ve absorbed through my experimentation with stoic and eastern philosophy is how powerful it is to sit patiently through discomfort. When you allow yourself to feel the full experience of failure, embarrassment or sadness without turning away, you discover you’re strong enough to survive. When you allow yourself to pass through the emotional arc these situations incite, you’re better able to extract their lessons. I’ve also found it reduces the likelihood these experiences will continue to revisit you at three o’clock in the morning, three years later. Help others. Checking your text messages isn’t the only way to give your brain a shot of dopamine. Try engaging in charity – doing something for someone else when there is no possible opportunity for you to get anything in return. This can be as simple as giving a stranger a heartfelt compliment or as complicated as seeking out that ‘odd ball’ at the office and inviting them to be part of something. Helping others is one of the best ways to feel good about yourself and better about your life. And it’s the one sure way we each have to make this world a better place, for all of us. And whether you’re reflecting on the year just gone or looking to the year ahead, the goal should always be to make the world a better place.

city briefs by Mark Weber BLOOD DONATIONS NEEDED The Canadian Blood Services clinic in Red Deer is seeking blood donations as the agency continues its nationwide appeal. Central Alberta territory manager Shaun Richer said the clinic is experiencing its typical holiday slump, where donations are hard to come by. Blood clinics can only handle a certain number of donor appointments each day. Last Wednesday, Richer said there were 200 open appointments at the Red Deer location for the first week of January. One donation goes a long way — it can save up to three lives. “When you come in to donate, that donation bag itself is about one pint or 480 ml. It’s really not a whole lot. Just to look at that and say that has the potential to save up to three lives is pretty impactful,” Richer said. A news release from the agency states that donations are down and a number of clinics had to be cancelled due to poor weather. At one point, CBS had 26,000 appointments to fill across Canada. To donate, download the Give Blood app for your smartphone or visit www.blood.ca The Red Deer clinic is located at 5020 68 St, Unit #5.

With over 1,200 youth taking part in a variety of summer camps at RDC this past summer, there is something for everyone. An enthusiastic ambassador from her camp experience is Katherine Griffith. Katherine first started attending MusiCamp when she was 12 years old; that was six years ago, and it has been the highlight of every summer since then. “Going in, I didn’t know anyone, but by the second day I had a big group of friends and was playing music I had never dreamed of.” MusiCamp Alberta is just one of many summer camps offered at RDC, and it is the only provincial music workshop. The faculty is comprised of worldclass performers and teachers from professional ensembles, who work to cultivate artistry, discipline and an appreciation of music. Students who participate in overnight camps live in residence facilities on RDC’s main campus, which consist of apartment-style housing.

City couple continues to feel support in wake of daughter’s death Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation builds awareness about depression BY MARK WEBER Express staff

Red Deer’s Rick and Cindy More continue to work to help those suffering from depression - a mission that came from a tragedy within their own family. The couple’s daughter Lindsey took her own life in on Sept. 20th, 2015. In the months following this unimaginable loss, and together with help from community members, Rick and Cindy developed the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation via the Red Deer and District Community Foundation - which is geared towards providing financial help to young adults, teens and children dealing with depression. It also provides funds for mental health initiatives and supports. And virtually from the start, the community and beyond rallied to support the cause. That support hasn’t wavered to this day. “I’ve always loved this community but I never knew how much,” said Rick. “We are humbled for sure.” As the facebook page again points out, it’s an area that continues to be in critical need of both funding and overall support. The couple continue to be amazed at the outpouring of support they’ve been shown from the local community and beyond. “We have not asked one person to have a fundraiser for us - they’ve all come to us,” said Cindy, reflecting on the many special events that have been held over the past year in support of the Foundation.

AWARENESS - The Smiles Thru Lindsey campaign continues to gain momentum in the community. Lindsey More’s parents, Rick and Cindy, reflect on the impact the past year has had on their family. Cassie Hall photo Rick agreed, adding that via the Foundation, he’s also had several opportunities to share their story publicly. The couple is committed to helping rid society of remaining stigmas that exist in relation to depression and mental illness in general. To this day, even though the subject is more ‘in the limelight’ than perhaps ever before, people who struggle with depression often face obstacles to getting the help they need. Not to mention

the fact they often struggle to really clearly communicate how they are really feeling - even to their circle of family and friends. The Mores don’t want anyone to suffer in silence - and in a sense, that’s what Smiles Thru Lindsey is about. Raising funds, building awareness and reminding those in the community that are fighting depression that they are not alone in their battles. “When we bare our souls, I think that those who have been

withholding (their stories) come to trust us,” explained Rick. “There are so many people that have been affected by mental health issues and depression. “We have a story to tell, but we aren’t unique to it - there are so many people, thousands, who’ve been affected.” The Foundation’s facebook page notes that while mental illness accounts for more than 10% of the burden of disease in Canada, “It receives just seven

per cent of health care dollars and almost a third of Canadians who seek mental health care report that their needs are unmet or partially met. Sadly, that rate is even higher for children and youth.” For the Mores, the Foundation does provide some comfort - but the pain of losing their beloved daughter certainly hasn’t diminished. “Our emotions are probably more raw today then when we spoke (to the Express) a year ago. There hasn’t been a day - and I’m sure Cindy feels the same way - where we don’t cry. There is so much that reminds us of Lindsey anyways,” he said. Lindsey, in spite of the hardships she was enduring, was the type that worked hard to make others feel good, reads a statement on the Smiles Thru Lindsay facebook page. “Anyone who knew Lindsey knew her as someone who would do anything to make sure everyone was happy and not alone and their memories of her are full of love, laughter and adventure. Humour and passion for helping others hid the sadness that eventually took over her mind.” Rick and Cindy know that as painful as it is, sharing their story and helping to be a voice for the cause is the road they want to take. Looking forward, for example, Rick will be speaking to the student body of Notre Dame High School. “I can guarantee you that there might be a couple of hundred people in that crowd who have not told (their families) of their struggles.” Cindy points out that over

the past year, some have even approached them to say that thanks to them sharing their story, and to the Foundation overall - that they’ve taken steps to get the help they have needed. “One girl said to me it’s because of what you are doing, and because of Lindsey, that I’m alive,” recalled Rick. “My legs almost buckled.” Those are indeed some of the most meaningful moments of all, they added. Ultimately, part of the couple’s message is that there is hope they’ve come in contact with many over the past year who admit to them they are stuck in the middle of a fight with depression. But they’ve also met some who have come through and are now somehow managing in spite of it. Through it all, it’s also about letting people in with the help and support that they want to give. “We survived this as a family. We’ve become even closer and we help each other.” Donations can be made through the Red Deer & District Community Foundation.To make a donation, click on the link provided on the page and be sure to choose ‘Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation’ from the drop down menu under the donation amount section.

Former Red Deer violinist tops Alberta again in RCM exam well as an ear exam. The main part of the exam was the show piece, Braganza said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard because you only get one chance during the exam to play it how you want to play it,â&#x20AC;? she said. For that part, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough to just play the music. Braganza said the examiner was also looking for â&#x20AC;&#x153;musicality.â&#x20AC;? That is, taking the composerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directions from the sheet music and performing it in a way that evokes the intended emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to take the music and you have to make it personal,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it starts very soft, legato, you know it could be calm, it could be sad, it could be relaxing, it could be sympathetic.â&#x20AC;?

GOLDEN GIRL - Emily Braganza, 16, holds up the gold medal she recently received from The Royal Conservatory of Music. Joseph Ho/Red Deer Express

One of her methods is to draw from a personal experience that matches the music and letting

that guide her performance. Braganzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show piece was Tchaikovskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melodie.

Emily Braganzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of musical accolades sure glimmers. The 16-year-old former Red Deer resident won a gold medal from the Royal Conservatory of Music for scoring 87 out of 100 on the Level 9 violin exam, the top mark in Alberta. This was Braganzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third gold medal as a violinist. She holds two other gold medals from vocal exams. Despite her previous success, Braganza said she found the exam nerve-racking. The test took about 45 minutes, where she played her scales, studies, sonatas and concertos. There was also sightreading as

table comes in handy. Braganzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice routine takes about three hours each day, divided between violin, piano and voice. She also plays with the Calgary Youth Orchestra, the school chamber choir and string ensemble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have time-management and organization skills otherwise you will fall behind,â&#x20AC;? she said. Next month, Braganza will be taking her Grade 8 vocal exam. In June, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going for her ARCT teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diploma in piano. She has not decided if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pursue music as a career, saying that law is another one of her interests.

David Lakirovich, who plays first violin for the Calgary Philharmonic, is her teacher and said this was a significant achievement for his student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing how difficult it is and how many components there are in the exam, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very hard to be successful across all (of them),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredibly intuitive and talented on the violin. She picks things up very quickly. Anything I tell her, she does with minimum amount of effort.â&#x20AC;? Braganza grew up in Red Deer attending St. Francis of Assisi Middle School but now attends Bishop Carroll High School in Calgary for its self-directed learning program.

How Red Deer marked Canada’s grand Centennial The celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Canada’s formation as a nation are now underway. There are many events and activities planned to mark this important milestone our country’s history. It is also now 50 years since Canada celebrated its centennial. The year 1967 was a glorious time as Canadians reflected with pride as to how far the country had come in just 100 years and express their confidence that the very

best years were still to come. Every province, every community, almost every organization and a great many individuals took on a centennial project. In 1964, as plans for the great national birthday party started to take shape, Red Deer decided to make a new public library the City’s official community centennial project. That a new library was badly needed had been evident for many years.

Michael Dawe

For a long time, the library had shared a small old building on the north side of Ross Street, with the City detachment of the RCMP. The space was cramped. When the RCMP members took a long shower in the apartments upstairs, the librarians often had to keep the water from dripping onto the books below. In 1964, the library was given what was considered to be temporary accommodations in the east end of the second floor of the new City Hall. However, even the new space was very limited. Moreover, the plans were that the space would soon

be needed for additional civic administration offices. While people agreed that a new permanent library building was needed, where it was to be built and how much it would cost became a matter of considerable public debate. A huge setback came in the 1965 municipal elections. A plebiscite authorizing the borrowing of $192,000 to help fund the construction of a $400,000 library building was defeated by a vote of 1,178 to 2,277. City council then went to work on a revised, and hopefully more acceptable, proposal. A new bylaw to borrow $100,000 for a Centennial Library was submitted to the voters on Dec. 8th, 1965. It passed by a narrow 95 vote margin. A debate then began as to where the library would be located. The Mayor stated that since a site in the Recreation Centre park had been mentioned during the second plebiscite, the City was morally obligated to build there. A number of the City’s centennial committee members took issue with the Mayor’s stance. They also considered some of City council’s actions and comments to be a lack of confidence in what the committee had been doing. Hence, several members of the committee resigned.

A new committee was appointed, but the debate over the site continued. Charlie and Mabel Snell then intervened. Charlie had been chair of the Library Board for many years and his wife had worked for a long time as the librarian. The Snells offered a donation of $55,000 if the Library was built on the City staff parking lot next to City Hall and west of the Fire Hall. Several senior City staff were not very happy as this would mean that they would lose their convenient parking stalls. However, the Snells’ very generous offer put an end to any public objections they may have had. Construction of the new

building soon commenced. On Nov. 3rd, 1967, the new Red Deer Centennial Library was officially opened by the Governor General of Canada, the Right Honourable Roland Michener. Roland Michener had been raised in Red Deer. His appointment as Canada’s 20th governor general in March 1967 had been considered a wonderful centennial boost to the community. Moreover, people were extremely pleased that during his first official visit to his old hometown, that he had opened Red Deer’s wonderful new library as well as the new Red Deer College complex in the southwest corner of the City.

Kingston-based country singer already making waves BY MARK WEBER Express staff

EMERGING - Canadian country singer Amanda Sadler continues to introduce her exceptional tunes to audiences across the country. She is currently on a radio tour, with a stop in Red Deer on Jan. 20th. photo submitted kind of loved the genre for that reason, too.” And even though her family’s musical tastes extended beyond country, when Sadler started writing her own music she found that the genre was really the best fit for what she wanted to say. “Country - that’s just what naturally came out, so things just evolved that way. “It wasn’t really even intentional. But I had always loved country music and that’s just what I gravitated towards. “Country is always where my heart found its roots. The story telling aspect of it is what I’m most drawn to, especially because I’m so passionate about my songwriting. So I think it was just a natural fit for me.” Sadler released her self-penned debut EP The Light in August of 2015. The project was was recorded at Willisoundz in Nashville. The EP features two radio singles, including the catchy Nice Just Ain’t Your Colour which awarded Sadler a semi-finalist position in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition. “It’s all self-written,” she noted of The Light. This year has also proven Sadler’s star is on the rise, with her having recently been selected to

“I have found that everyone in country music is just so willing to help you out and to lend their expertise,” she said, adding that being in Nashville was itself a truly inspiring venture. Her time spent there was fabulous - not just in laying down tracks but in learning so much from others. “I wanted it to be a project where I could express myself and start to learn who I really was as a writer, as a singer and as a performer,” she said. “I just wanted to create something that I was really proud of and that I felt expressed who I was.” Just being in ‘Music City’ was a joy. “Honestly, when they talk about cities like Nashville having an energy to them, it’s completely accurate. It’s absolutely true. Nashville is a city that just claimed my heart as soon as I stepped off the plane there,” she said. “There are not only so many amazing people to write with and to record with, it’s just so inspiring to be there in that city where there is so much history in country music,” she said. ”It’s an experience in and of itself.”

Kingston, Ontario country artist Amanda Sadler is gearing up for a cross-Canada trek which includes a radio tour stop in Red Deer on Jan. 12th. Her new single - Drop The Needle Down - is set for release on Jan. 20th. The cut was produced in Nashville, and is a co-written collaboration between Sadler, Dave ‘Dwave’ Thomson (Lady Antebellum, Autumn Hill) and Patricia Conroy. “I started dancing when I was four years old. And then I was also figure skating at a very young age as well,” she explains during a recent chat. “And then I started singing in my church choir. Then my mom started telling me, ‘You really need to pick one thing!’ “I started to figure out that the common denominator in all of it was music. So that’s when we realized that as much as I loved dance, and I loved figure skating, it was definitely the musical element that I was drawn to.” Her folks then put her in vocal and piano lessons early on. “I started playing piano when I was six. And I absolutely adored it.” Creative expression, however, continued to take on several forms during those growing years. “I was singing, acting and dancing. But around the age of 12 or 13 is when I got my first guitar,” she recalls. And that’s when a gift for songwriting began to surface as well. “So at a very young age I knew what my passion was, and I knew what it was that I wanted to do.” She later moved to Kingston, Ontario for post-secondary studies and the artistic growth continued. “I was lucky enough to meet a few musicians and helped my music to blossom, and they would take me to gigs regularly,” she said. “So when I graduated, it was kind of a no-brainer for me that this is what I wanted to pursue - it’s always been my number one passion. I’m that type of person that when something is a passion, I just go for it.” Meanwhile, the single Drop The Needle Down is a perfect example of Sadler’s contemporary sound while staying true to the tones of country music, as she sings about catching a moment in time and reveling in that memory. Although Sadler has been trained as a singer and could likely sing pretty much any style, it was country music that really captured her attention from early on as well. “My family has always listened to country music, so I was very much raised on it,” she explained. “I remember being up at our cottage, and my dad loved Shania Twain. When she put out her Come On Over album, and it had a bunch of those really popular songs on it, I remember falling in love with this idea of a female singer who is just very strong and the character she portrayed and her in her songwriting. So I always

RDE Local artist looking to share her passion with others entertainment

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Express staff

Central Alberta is lucky to have so many talented and artistic residents that bring new perspectives, light and interest to the region. One such talented artist is Carina Moran, a Lacombe resident who paints solely for her own pleasure, but creates amazing pieces inspired by the world around her. She has been a life-long artist, beginning at a fine arts school as a child and working in her free time to generate art of various mediums. Currently, she dedicates her talents to painting, using a variety of textures and mixed media to create vivid and interesting works. “My absolute passion right now is working with mixed media. I love stuff that’s raised up off the canvas, and often times I’ll just explore through my house to see what I can utilize in my painting,” she said happily. One of her favourite paintings, Comet Tail, utilized various beans, lentils and rice grains between numerous layers to create a texture and trail within the comet. She said it created the exact effect she was looking for. Currently, Moran does not have her art displayed in public galleries, but she does share her work through her facebook page, Carina Moran

- Artist, as well as her Instagram account - ‘artbycarinamoran’. She says every artist wants to share their work with other people, in hopes of evoking emotion and sharing their passions with others. “It’s one thing for me to put it onto canvas, and it’s another thing to let other people experience it,” Moran said. “I know that when I look at art, I tend to get very emotional. I have a very emotional connection to what I see on canvas, or in other kinds of art, such as theatre - it creates such a reaction in me and I wanted to be a part of that.” Her works tend to range from anatomically-inspired pieces, to galactic aspects such as stars or galaxies. As a career paramedic with her husband, she has studied anatomy and physiology and Moran says these are big inspirations for her work. She says she knows not everyone will see the appeal in the more mature pieces, especially her husband’s favourites, one with a heart and one with a set of lungs. “I know what they represent for me. As a paramedic, you tend to pick up a lot of sick patients and people with chronic diseases, who have had surgeries and other challenges in order to prolong their lives,” she explained. “Those things that prolong your life can only last so long, and that’s heartbreaking. To me, those paint-

ings represent the way people try and try to prolong their lives, but that ultimately we are mortal.” Her pieces inspired by the galaxies, stars and planets come from her father, who made an effort to share his love and fascination with the universe with his children. “My dad was so into space and the galaxy. He was awesome about teaching us kids to stay open minded and explore the universe. To this day, I love looking up at the stars. We live on an acreage and every night I get to look up at the sky where there are no lights, just the view of the sky,” Moran explained. “My universe paintings are all inspired by the skies and my father’s love that he instilled in us. To me, those are the most beautiful, inspiring things.” Over the years, Moran has become a mother, a business owner and continued to build her career as a paramedic. She said that through this time, she really began to realize how important it was to find a passion that is healthy and helps bring a person peace. She said this is why she paints - to allow herself to have a passion that makes her feel good and allows her to share a part of herself with those around her. Check out her aforementioned online profiles to explore her many creations. kmendonsa@lacombeexpress.com

New City exhibit explores the world of ‘selfies’ Red Deer Arts Council and Red Deer Public Library are pleased to present ‘Selfies: Mixed Media’ by Renu Mathew which runs in the Kiwanis Gallery through to Feb. 19th. The ‘First Friday Red Deer’ runs Jan. 6th from 6 to 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and the artist will be in attendance. Enter the digital age where it has become increasing popular to snap a ‘selfie’ of yourself and post it to a social media site. In her exhibit of mixed media

work, paintings and figurative sculptures, Olds artist Renu Mathew presents the images that individuals have chosen to publicly portray of themselves, taken from facebook, Twitter and the public domain of friends and acquaintances. Renu has taken a look at ‘selfies’ from another perspective, according to a release. The artworks reflect her ideas of how people want others to see them ‘in the moment’ and how fleeting we think these images are. But the images have

more permanency than we realize, and may have longer-term effects than we intend. According to her artist’s statement, Mathew describes photographer as an increasingly, often overwhelming, medium for communication and self-expression in our social-media-saturated lives. “Photographs’ proliferation has resulted in their impermanence, fleeting moments transferred and exchanged through Snapchat, facebook and similar platforms. However, these im-

ages don’t ever really disappear but are stored or collected by other parties, with our tacit but not necessarily considered - consent. “A parallel can be drawn to our relationship to supposedly disposable objects, which are actually not really disposed, their existence continuing as waste and residue. A relic of society. “In these works, I bring both concerns together within a material reality. I appropriated images of friends and

Tea Party heads to Red Deer this March When you think about it, 1997 was an epic year. The Simpsons was named the longest-running prime-time animated series, Steve Jobs returned to Apple and Tiger Woods became the youngest golfer to ever win the Masters. And in Canada, fans of award-winning The Tea Party were celebrating the release of the band’s fourth studio album, Transmission. Equally as epic, this album reached number three on the Canadian charts, earned double platinum status in Canada and received a 1998 Juno Award nomination for ‘Blockbuster Rock Album of the Year.’ Its no wonder that, 20 years later, the band has

confirmed that it will embark on a largescale tour to celebrate the anniversary of this hit record. They perform at the Memorial Centre on March 21st. Seeing The Tea Party perform Transmission in its entirety, this national tour will kick-off on Feb. 3rd in St. Catharines and will see the band wind its way through 28 cities before landing in Seattle on April 4th. Joined by special guests The Road Heavy in a handful of markets, each show of the #TX20 tour will culminate with a set of greatest hits certain to deliver the energy and drive that The Tea Party have been

known to bring since 1990. According to Wikipedia, The Tea Party toured Canada on 21 occasions and Australia on 12. “In November 2002, the band toured Canada with symphony orchestras reinterpreting a decade’s worth of shared songwriting. Breaking up in 2005 due to creative differences, band members nevertheless re-united in 2011 to play several Canadian tour dates during the summer. The band decided to continue after the tour and has now re-formed.” Their latest album, The Ocean at the End, was released in 2014. -Weber

RELAXING - From front to back, Dante Brown and Tristan Taylor killed some time by tossing around some snow at Bower Ponds recently.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express

‘Where’s the fun’ in your fitness routine? WTF? This is an important part of working out for me; Where’s The Fun? You thought I meant Wednesday, Thursday, Friday didn’t you? Nope. Working out is a requirement to be a healthy person. If you have a physical job that keeps you active all day then you are better off than the higher percentage of us that sit too much, and do too little. Exercise is critical for optimal health, but when you factor in the issue of our need to enjoy life, there can be a conflict here. Working out isn’t always easy if you want to see results. You have to challenge yourself, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun! I run a fair bit as one of my preferred methods

of fitness, and to make it fun, I run outside. To me, a treadmill is not fun at all. A treadmill is a tool that is helpful in winter, but I will run outside up to 30 degrees below. I was on a business trip in 2015 and ran 24km outside in the sun. When my watch indicated that the 25km was done I was sort of surprised the run was done already. The next week I was back home in Sylvan Lake, and my schedule showed a 26km run. Only 1 more km, but it was nearly 40 below zero outside, so I needed to be on the treadmill for this one. It was awful. I got off the treadmill at least a dozen times for any number of made-up excuses. The time dragged on and was so hard for me! If this was to be my only source of running, I would certainly give up. For me, the fun is outside when running.

Same goes for strength training. You can work out on your own, and even look at videos on your phone or tablet as you wander around by yourself trying to get motivated. WTF? Where’s The Fun? If you did a Bootcamp or Warrior class instead, with other people cheering each other on, an instructor making jokes, playing great music, giving you encouragement etc. We play games in class, challenge each other and have a blast! The FUN just went way up and so did your odds of success! Same goes for sports like basketball, volleyball, curling, hockey, football, cross country skiing, etc. You don’t notice the time go by, because you are having fun! I am not saying you cannot get results without fun, but it’s just that much harder. If your workouts are fun, you are more likely to stick with it! My wife doesn’t love doing cardio like I do

but she does love to read. So she reads while she works out on the elliptical trainer. That way she combines something she loves, with something she tolerates. I do the same thing when I am training for a big race and need to get in an eight hour bike ride inside in the winter. I watch a whole season of a TB series – it’s very efficient and makes it fun. We have a 90-minute bike class each Saturday where we watch a movie. It’s just more fun. This again, is why working out with a friend, or being part of a group or a team makes sense – it’s just more fun! If you know your friend is going to meet you, you know it will be more fun, and it is so easy to get your fitness in. So to keep fitness in your life long-term, always ask yourself: WTF?

‘Evening of Decadent Dessert’ event needs volunteers BY ERIN FAWCETT Express staff

Volunteers are needed for the 23rd annual Evening of Decadent Dessert The event takes place May 12th at the Parkland Pavilion at Westerner Park. All proceeds from the event go directly to programs and supports for children with special needs. The event has raised more than $123,000 for the cause. “The evening focuses around the desserts and we have the live auction cake, which is the big grand finale that everyone waits for. We have a number of businesses whether it be bakers or restaurants who donate their time, as well as the cakes,” said Karen Jackman, fund development coordinator for Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre. “The cakes are quite extravagant. Some of them are stand alone cakes and go for thousands of dollars, and some have items paired with them whether it be a concert ticket or a trip somewhere, that type of thing. “We also do the dessert buffet which everyone looks forward to. There are a vast array of desserts on the buffet for the evening as well.” As a charitable organization, Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre provides hope to children

with special needs, the families who love them and the communities that care for them. Jackman said they do this in a variety of ways, depending on the specific needs of the child and the family. In the specialized preschool program, for example, children receive assistance to help them develop skills ranging from walking and talking to learning the skills for school. In the assessment programs and services, children and their families receive strategies, answers and support to help them now and in the future. As a resource centre, Aspire provides information and assistance to people from across the community, she added. Meanwhile, in terms of volunteers, Jackman said a few people are needed to help secure silent auction items and other types of donations with the ability to pick up those donations as well. “The time commitment would be between three to five hours a week until they get the number of silent auction items they are asked to collect,” she said. Anyone looking to volunteer or to make a donation whether it be a cash donation, cake donation, dessert item or any other auction item for the event can call Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre at 403-340-2606. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

FAMILIAR FACE - Former Red Deer Rebel Jim Vandermeer celebrates scoring against Coventry during an Elite Ice Hockey League game at the SSE Arena, Belfast, United Kingdom. photo by William Cherry/Presseye/Belfast Giants

Catching up with hockey veteran Jim Vandermeer BY ZACHARY CORMIER Express staff

Jim Vandermeer has worn the colours of a lot of different teams over the course of his hockey career, from the red, black and white of the Red Deer Rebels — where he spent all four years of his WHL career — to a number of different NHL jerseys and the red, white and blue of EHC Kloten of the Swiss Elite League, he’s seen it all. Over the course of a hockey journey that has spanned almost 20 years including junior and pro, the 37-year-old product of Caroline has played for no less than 12 teams in five different leagues and four countries. But the former Rebels captain said he’s never really given that statistic much thought. “I think for most of it I was just living in the moment and not really thinking about anything, just going,” said Vandermeer during a phone interview from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The big, 6’1” stay-at-home defenseman has spent the last year playing for the Belfast Giants of the British Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL). “It’s been a good experience,” said Vandermeer of playing for Giants, who he joined in February

of last year after being bought out of his contract with Kloten HC in July. After spending most of the 2015 hockey season working out and skating in Vancouver, which he now calls home, Vandermeer was contacted by Giants player-coach Derrick Walser and family friend David Rutherford, who asked if he was interested in coming to play in the UK. “At the time I didn’t really have anything else going on and I didn’t feel like I wanted to be retired from hockey yet,” Vandermeer recalled, noting that playing in the 10-team British league has been a very unique experience. For a start, the EIHL season doesn’t follow the traditional regular season and playoffs format that North American hockey fans are used to. Instead, the league uses a format that is more consistent with soccer, where teams compete for three different trophies over the course of a season, the most prestigious of which is the League Cup, which is awarded to the team with the most points at the end of the regular season. The top eight teams in the league then qualify for playoffs, which use a two-leg aggregate qualifying round before a single-knockout format tournament and compete for a playoffs trophy.

There is also the Challenge Cup, which is a stand alone tournament. “It’s almost like it’s playoffs all year long. We won 10 in a row and we only gained about four points on Cardiff who’s ahead of us. Every league I’ve ever played in before you obviously want to play well enough and get into playoffs and then anything can happen. Here, as soon as the season’s over that’s the big trophy,” Vandermeer said, adding that it’s also kind of strange to play in a country where hockey is a niche sport. “It’s definitely not as well known. We grew up with it. It’s always around. Here, it’s almost like you’ve got to know somebody that leads you towards it. The people that like and enjoy it, they’re pretty passionate. They love it.” On the ice, though, it’s still hockey. While the game is constantly changing and constantly evolving, the European game is pretty much the same no matter where you go. Almost all European leagues use a larger, Olympic-sized ice surface, which means offensive players have more room to move and everyone has to be a fairly good skater to compete. But beyond that, “Hockey’s, hockey,” Vandermeer said. It’s also given Vandermeer a chance to play

hockey at a professional level far beyond his days in the NHL came to a close while also travelling and seeing the world. “You know, I wasn’t an overly skilled guy. I was kind of a muck-and-grind kind of guy, so I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. My wife and I, we always talked that after the NHL we wanted to travel a bit and see the world,” said Vandermeer, adding that he’s hoping to play in Belfast for at least another year while he attends Ulster University to get either a Master’s in Coaching or take the Sports Management course. He also noted that while he’s not closing the door on a return to North America to play hockey, it’s not a very likely prospect. “Who knows? Anything can happen. If a team came calling and said, ‘Hey, we want you to come play,’ then you obviously weigh your options and go from there.” Despite all of his journeys, trials and tribulations playing the sport he loves, Vandermeer said he’s never lost his passion for the game. “I love the game of hockey. It’s treated me and my family very well. Now I’m just trying to figure out the next step along the way.” zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Red Deer Rebels broadcaster celebrates milestone BY ZACHARY CORMIER Express staff

Cam Moon watched the stands fill up at the ENMAX Centrium from his usual perch in the broadcast booth on a Red Deer Rebels game day, chatting with long time co-host Mike Moller as they waited for the Rebels and the visiting Kootenay Ice to take to the frozen surface. His notes were already sorted and spread out in front of him, ready for him to reference if he needed to. This is one of Moon’s favourite parts of his role as the playby-play voice of the Rebels - the anticipation. “I like telling the story and I love that when you go to the game that night, you don’t know what’s going to happen. You have no idea,” said Moon, who called his 1,500th game

on Friday night when the Ice were in town. For 19 seasons, Rebels fans across Central Alberta have tuned in to listen to Moon describe what he’s seeing on the ice below him, from his iconic call of Doug Lynch’s overtime winner in the 2001 Memorial Cup final to his work at last year’s Memorial Cup tournament, Moon’s smart and informative play calling has made him a household name in Central Alberta. That’s not to say that the veteran play caller seeks the limelight. In fact, outside of the context of his job as the radio and media relations director for the Rebels, Moon prefers to stay in the background. “It’s all about how the game goes. That’s why I don’t like the attention because it shouldn’t be on me, it should be on the game.

I’m just the guy telling the story about it,” he said. That didn’t stop the Rebels from pulling out all the stops to celebrate Moon’s 1,500 game milestone last Friday, though. The team declared it Cam Moon night and presented the first 400 Rebels fans to come through the doors with a bobblehead depicting the broadcaster. According to one Rebels official, the bobbleheads were gone in seconds. They also honoured ‘Mooner’ in a number of other ways throughout the night, including video congratulations from a number of Rebels alumni. “(Rebels Sr. VP of Hockey Operations Merrick Sutter) had mentioned that it was coming up this season. I don’t really count, but it had to be getting close. He said, ‘We’re going to

High school student continues to excel in lacrosse BY ZACHARY CORMIER Express staff

For Keaton Kennedy, there is no better feeling than holding a lacrosse stick in his hands and feeling the rush as he carries the ball down the field. Lacrosse has always been the Gr. 11 student’s passion, whether it be in the form of indoor box lacrosse or outdoor field lacrosse, there’s just something about the sport that has always appealed to the Notre Dame High school student. “It’s physical, it’s fast-paced and there’s a good team atmosphere,” said Kennedy, who began playing box lacrosse when he was five years old and hasn’t looked back since. For the past year-and-a-half, Keaton has dedicated himself to the pursuit of an NCAA scholarship. Even though it’s the middle of the offseason for lacrosse players, the 16-year-old has been working with the Alberta Sport Development Centre-Central (ASDC-C) to keep himself in top physical condition for when lacrosse season rolls around again. Through the winter months, Keaton has been attending ASDC-C training camps twice a week and working with a trainer three times a week. That dedication was part of the reason that the ASDC-C chose Keaton as their Athlete of the Month for December. “It’s pretty cool,” he said of the award, adding that he has big plans for his lacrosse career. “I want to go to college and get a degree and then hopefully go pro,” said Keaton, noting that his dream is to eventually play in the National Lacrosse League. Last season, because Red Deer doesn’t have a Midget A program, Keaton and his parents, Steven and Trina, made trips out to Airdrie so that Keaton would have a chance to play at the highest level available to him. Keaton also earned himself a spot on Team Alberta’s roster for the 2016 Midget Field Lacrosse Nationals. He was the youngest player on the team, which ended up placing third in the tournament. “He’s definitely grown a ton in the last three years, I think. There’s definitely been a big, big

jump. Then playing A has been a whole other level, as well,” said Steven, who coached his son through the early part of his lacrosse career. “The sport is great. Just the skill and the strategy that’s involved. A lot of people think that lacrosse is just a big, rough sport, but there’s actually a fair bit of strategy. You’ve got to be a team player to play the game.” Steven said that it is also really cool to see his son progress as a player, from a young kid learning to shoot for the first time to a young man looking at NCAA universities and colleges to potentially play at. This season, Keaton will try out for the Red Deer Rampage and Red Deer Rage junior teams, where he’ll be playing against 20-year-old players. Keaton, however, is ready for the challenge and is ready to take the next step in his lacrosse career. “I always wanted to be on the field and play in front of people.” zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Red Deer Express file photo do something,’ and I said ‘No, you’re not’,” Moon recalled, noting that no one else mentioned it after that. “I had kind of thought, and hoped that he had forgot. And I was kind of sure he did!” Even though he’s not a huge fan of all the attention, Moon said he appreciates the gesture. The popularity of the bobbleheads just goes to show how popular the Edmonton product has become in Red Deer and how much of an impact

he has had on the Rebels’ organization. “He lives and breathes Red Deer Rebels and he’s an awesome broadcaster. I know that everybody loves listening to him. I’m pretty excited for him,” said Rebels Owner, Head Coach and GM Brent Sutter. “He’s a great guy. He’s a true loyal guy and he throws everything into it, he puts a lot of time and effort into it and he does well at what he does.” Moon, for his part, said he’s

just having fun doing what he’s doing. “I don’t consider what I do work,” said the 46-year-old, who got into broadcasting after spending three seasons as a goalie in the Western Hockey League with the Prince Albert Raiders, Saskatoon Blades and Medicine Hat Tigers. “It’s gone really quick. It seems like the other day that I was moving here, you know? It’s fun and I expect it will continue to be fun.” zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

EATING IN - This kitchen space in a Unique Elevations show home in Laredo showcases how the right light fixtures and appliances can really bring a room’s decor together. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express

Celebrating this year’s paint ‘colour of the year’ As they have done every year for the last two decades, Pantone has released its colour of the year. Greenery (15-0343) is an inspiring and fresh faced green underscored with bright yellow notes which is sure to get you in the mood for an early spring. When Pantone introduces a colour for the year, you will see the trickle-down influence throughout the fashion and design industry. This is not your Noel green but a brighter and sharper green than ever before. This year’s colour is focused on all things fresh, it is an invitation to breathe and connect with our earth. It calls you to anticipate ambling through open air markets as you buy fresh and local produce. Inhale deeply that first batch of locally grown basil and spring onion as

you stuff your satchel full of wonderful newness. You can feel the new warmth on your face as a gentle sun winks to get your attention while you sip on sweetened green tea at your favorite corner café. It is just cool enough to be tempted to stay indoors but you are drawn to the energizing light in the sky. The colour Greenery is a foreshadowing to an emotionally prosperous and fiscally responsible 2017. It is a colour of buying less and buying local and increasing our green space on our beloved earth. You will find this tone in your favorite produce and greenhouse offerings and you will be tempted to experiment with delightful new combinations in salads and smoothies. You can bring this colour into your home with

Kim Wyse

simple accessories, paint and linens as you will be able to find this colour in abundance in local home design stores. Glassware, semi-precious stones (peridots and pale emeralds) will dangle this lovely colour wherever you feel the need for inspiration. Nothing looks fresher than white accented with green and greenery so go ahead and set a summery table in January as you present your knock out recipe for homemade pasta. While I see this colour being a very intense addition I feel it can be a wonderful accent colour. An entire room painted in this shade may overwhelm some but to add this to a grey or neutral based palette would add some welcome vivacious colour. I have always felt that green looks best with a sheen which is probably why I love this hue in a satin or a shimmery velvet, a metallic almost

silver-esque quality to bring out the bright edges. The best part of decorating with this year’s colour is that it can be achieved botanically with natural plants and herbs. Adding this dash of greenery to your home will be easy with fresh plants and flowers. You will enjoy the benefits of life and spectacular colour in your home as there is no easier colour to decorate with than green. It exists in every facet of life from plants which defy logic and push through the earth to semi-precious stones which are mined from deep in the ground. It is a gift that has been given to humanity and is the result of creation and chemical combination that happen unnoticed before our eyes everyday. Kim Wyse is a Central Alberta freelance designer.
