Police service levels to be examined Council to discuss matter at upcoming workshop BY JOSEPH HO Express staff
The question of whether the City should look into a hybrid police model turned into a conversation about setting service levels during Monday night’s council meeting. Councillor Dianne Wyntjes had previously submitted a Notice of Motion asking council to direct administration to explore a model where Red Deer would be served by both municipal police and RCMP. That motion was defeated. Instead, council voted to discuss four items in a workshop which includes updating police priorities, options to improve service levels for Priority 3 and 4 calls, public engagement on crime and safety, in addition to examining alternative police models. The latter motion was made
by Councillor Lynne Mulder, who said models matter, but they’re not the only consideration in addressing crime and public safety. “We’re looking at a model before looking at service levels. I can’t see that that is the right way to go. I’m not opposed to models. I like models. I’d like us to innovative. I’d like us to be bold but I think we have to do it in sequence,” Mulder said. Citizen surveys suggest that crime is a top priority for the public. Mayor Tara Veer agreed that a broader conversation is needed. “We needed a more comprehensive solution than giving direction on the model exclusively. The model will be a part of our upcoming discussions and (will be) a very important part of our discussions but there will be other aspects that will be included as well,” Veer said. In particular, Mulder wants

to see greater responsiveness to Priority 3 and 4 calls, which respectively, do not require immediate police assistance and are for information purposes only. Mulder gave the example of a theft that’s occurred. She said citizens are telling her that people want somebody to take their reports. “If somebody came to my house and took my story down, I’d be much happier about that
and I’d feel like I’d been heard and that it was followed up,” she said. Wyntjes supported Mulder’s motion, saying she looked forward to the discussion. But she pointed out that improving service levels for Priority 3 and 4 calls will take a different approach. “My colleagues, if it was that easy, it would have been done months ago. Hence the prob-

lem. It requires much more and that was that exploration in the terms of reference and digging into what that (hybrid model) looks like,” she said. “Our boots on the streets are working darn hard and their work is dangerous. And the last thing I want to see is this council directing them to a (Priority) 3 and 4 and they’re already working hard.” Speaking last week, Wyntjes
said her original motion was not meant to be a slight against the RCMP but a call to look into supplementing its service. “I want to be clear that I recognize the wonderful work the RCMP is doing, but this is a way to augment our policing and safety in our community,” she said. “If we don’t explore it, we’re leaving something on the table that we might regret.” joseph.ho@reddeerexpress.com

Discovering all the wonders of woodturning The Central Alberta Woodturner’s Guild is continuing to grow BY JOSEPH HO Express staff
W
ith the press of a button, a wooden block spins on Gord Rock’s lathe at 1,000 r.p.m. Rock outlines three basic steps. First, anchor your tool onto the tool rest. In this case, it’s a spindle gouge, used to sculpt beads and coves. Then make contact with the wood using the bevel of the tool head. Finally, a slight turn of the wrist sends shavings flying, resulting in a smooth, rounded cut. It’s a hobby that’s hooked many Central Albertans like him and has prompted the formation of the Central Alberta Woodturner’s Guild. Since the group assembled last September, it’s grown to 40 members and counting. Rock is the group’s vice-president. He was selling woodworking equipment at KMS Tools when he noticed just how many people in the region shared that interest. “But the thing about woodturning is, it’s pretty much a solo pursuit. I’m in my shop all day, I’m turning, but nobody knows it. I’m not showing anybody because I’m not going to the flea markets and selling stuff. And there are a lot of us like that,” said Rock, now retired.
▾ “I CONSIDER MYSELF A MAKER OF THINGS, A PERSON WHO LIKES TO TAKE AN OBJECT LIKE A TREE AND MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING USEFUL. THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT THAT’S SATISFYING AND REWARDING.”
Gord Rock ▴
The guild meets the first Thursday night of each month at Trimmed-Line Tree Services. Rock wants to create a community for woodturners who’ve traditionally worked in solitude. “It’s a way for those of us who are into the hobby to get together to share ideas. None of us know all of it. Every month we have a meeting and we’ll get up and demonstrate something. Maybe how to turn a bowl, how to round a blank, just all kinds of different things,” he said. “We’re hoping other people that are doing that in their garage all day will (join us).” Long term, his vision for the guild includes inviting world-renowned woodturners for workshops, holding classes and a weekend symposium. Woodturners like Rock and fellow guild member Andrew Glazebrook are modern-day practitioners of a historic craft. As Glazebrook explains, there was a time when woodturning was a necessity. The lathe dates back to antiquity, he said, to make bobbins for spinning wool, to fashion tool
SPIN OFF - Gord Rock, a member of the Red Deer Woodturner’s Guild, worked on turning a small bowl from a block of wood on his lathe at his home. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express handles, furniture, plates, cups, bowls and eating utensils. Back then, it took one person to power the lathe and another to do the cutting. Technology has since advanced but the fundamentals are still the same. “When you’re dealing with different products or shapes or items you want to make, you have to understand the wood grain. Even if you’re using the most modern technology, the basics are still applied no matter which way you look at it,” Glazebrook said. Originally from Rosebud, Glazebrook started using the lathe when he was 11 years old, making spoons, spatulas and bowls. He never stopped. He has since turned his passion into a business, teaching woodturning, selling tools and soon, he’ll get into manufacturing. At 36, he is one of the younger guild members. “I consider myself a maker of things, a person who likes to take an object like a tree and make it
into something useful. There’s something about that that’s satisfying and rewarding,” he said. Today, woodturning is more of a lost art, lost in an age when goods are mass-produced by somebody else. Guild members are out to revive it. As well, Rock wants to continue visiting schools and teaching woodturning to students. He said after years of cuts to shop classes, there’s an appetite for woodworking again. “First of all, it’s fun,” he said. “But you can also make things yourself if you want to. Some people do it professionally, can make things and sell them at craft fairs or through galleries. It’s good for kids to find out they can actually use their hands for something other than pushing buttons on electronics.” Glazebrook said there are lots of people like him, who get satisfaction from creating and are searching for the right tool to express themselves. To him, woodturning is a relaxing activity.
“You might think that it’s just this rough feeling, (cutting) off the big log. I promise you, if you know how to use the tools properly, it’s like butter. It’s such a satisfying, smooth, silky feeling. It’s addicting,” he said. Rock started woodturning after receiving his father’s lathe. He estimates having turned hundreds of pieces but only a select few sit on his living room shelf. Many are decorative bowls. Rock has also built a spinning top with a launcher. Another creation, called a cryptex, is a cylindrical vessel that opens like a combination lock. After years of turning, Rock still considers himself a novice. Woodturning isn’t a hobby people can just pick up right away. But he keeps doing it because the lathe is where ideas turn into reality. “You can visualize in your mind a product that you think can be in that piece of wood. You can bring it out of there,” Rock said. joseph.ho@reddeerexpress.com

Further trail upgrades possible at River Bend BY JOSEPH HO Express staff
If the Parkland Ski Club can land a provincial grant to cover the cost, there could be further trail upgrades to the River Bend Golf and Recreation Area, beyond those approved for biathlon and cross-country ski competitions to take place at the 2019 Canada Winter Games. City council voted unanimously to expand the scope of its 2014 Trail Development Project contingent on the Club securing funds from the Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP). If Parkland Ski Club’s bid is successful, the project value would increase from $729,000 to $1.3 million, with CFEP covering the difference, said Barb McKee, the City’s recreation superintendent. CFEP dollars are awarded on a matching basis. McKee described Parkland Ski Club’s proposal as using previously approved funds for, “Leveraging grant funding.” “It’s actually in a way bringing more resources to Red Deer, not on the taxpayer’s dime,” she said. The 2019 Canada Winter Games plan will upgrade 5.5 kms out of 14.5 kms of trails at River Bend. The Parkland Ski Club seeks enhancements to the rest, including brushing, widening and base work grading to improve safety, new trail connections to reduce the need for skiers to cross the River Bend roadway, and installing lighting on select sections of trail. Trails at River Bend have not been expanded in 35 years, officials noted. Council briefing notes indicate that Parkland
Ski Club’s request is aimed at developing a facility that could host future Nordic ski racing events such as the Alberta Cup series, Nor-Am or Nationals. Speaking in support Councillor Ken Johnston said he was excited about the proposal and the prospects for sports tourism. “I think we have an opportunity to see how that successful bid three years ago is resulting in transformation of some of our facilities,” Johnston said. McKee said it’s not just skiers who will benefit, but those who use River Bend for snowshoeing, fat biking, walking and hiking. At this point, the amount it would cost the City to operate the expanded trails is not known. The River Bend Golf and Recreation Society is contracted by the City to groom the trails McKee said, adding that some portions might be decommissioned. Once the final trail length is determined, “We’ll have a better idea of what it will take to maintain (them),” she said. “But we know right now that we contract (the Society) to maintain at minimum three times a week, those groomed trails down at River Bend. We’ll have to do some work here in the next year once we really nail down that final trail plan — lighting, widths and (knowing) what the operational impacts are.” City administration consulted with environmental groups including the Red Deer River Naturalists and the Waskasoo Environmental Education Society on ecological concerns. Some adjustments to the plan included scaling

It’s not too late for the influenza vaccine, officials say BY MARK WEBER Express staff
We never forget to help. Even when they forget to ask.
cepted a report from the Community Services Division to confirm that following an environmental assessment, expansion of the north parking lot at Great Chief Park was not pursued, resolving concerns raised in 2012 by the Red Deer River Naturalists.
Although the wind-up of the influenza season is typically around the end of March, it’s not too late to get the annual flu shot, officials say. For most, influenza will cause a few days of fever, cough and generally feeling unwell. But for some, this contagious respiratory disease can lead to severe complications requiring hospitalization or even death, officials add. Several times are set up for flu clinics over the coming weeks in the City, but folks must pre-book their appointments. At the Red Deer Bremner Avenue Community Health Centre, clinics run Feb. 1st from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Feb. 22nd from 1 to 4:30 p.m. At the Red Deer Johnstone Crossing Community Health Centre, clinics run Jan. 12th from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m.; Jan. 18th from 9 a.m. to noon; Jan. 25th from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Feb. 3rd from 1 to 4 p.m.; Feb. 6th from 9 a.m. to noon and Feb. 15th from 9 a.m. to noon. Again, these times are for pre-booked appointments only. “It is sometimes hard to compare year to year in terms of how severe a season is, because the timing is different year to year,” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Central Zone lead medical officer of health. “Last year, for example, at this time of the year we had seen 135 cases of influenza A, but by the end of the season there were 3,710,” she said of the province as a whole. “This year, across the province, we’ve seen 1,746 cases of influenza A as of the end of December,” she said. “So it’s always hard to say if this season is better, worse of the same as last season until the season is actually over and we do our full tallies. But influenza certainly has arrived, and as it always is, it’s unfortunately putting people in the hospital and has caused some deaths already. It’s a serious illness.”
As mentioned, officials also say the best time to get vaccinated is from October through to December, but it is never too late. Hinshaw said at this point, there are slightly more people who have been immunized compared to last year. Just over one million Albertans have been immunized this year. “It’s good to see that we are making gains year over year, and we will continue to advocate and remind people of the importance of protecting themselves and their loved ones.” According to Alberta Health, influenza spreads rapidly - the virus passes from person to person when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. The virus can live on hands and is then passed to surfaces through touching. The virus can live on hard surfaces such as door handles, telephones, light switches, computer keyboards, countertops for up to 48 hours, and on soft surfaces like clothing for eight to 10 hours. Infection can also happen when people touch any surface contaminated with the virus and then touch their own mouth, nose or eyes before washing their hands. People usually develop symptoms of influenza within four days after becoming infected. “There is a general belief that we need to come to work at all costs, but certainly as with any infection, the best thing to do when you are feeling sick is to not spread it on,” said Hinshaw. “It’s definitely something you can pass pretty easily when you are coughing and sneezing and people are close to you.” Symptoms include fever that starts suddenly, a dry cough that can last for weeks, headache, an aching body especially in the lower back and legs and feeling very weak and tired. Other symptoms can include chills, loss of appetite, sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose.

Why the Alberta Advantage was flawed from the beginning
2017 - the year of the carbon tax
Conservative media pundits are raining fire on Alberta’s New Democrat government for surrendering the Alberta Advantage. According to Sun Media columnist Lorne Gunter, “When the NDP took power in May 2015, Alberta had the lowest top combined federal/provincial/sales tax rate of all 60 provinces and states in Canada and the U.S.” And where are we now, he asks? “Alberta had fallen from the 14th-best place on the planet in which to invest in oil and gas to 43rd.” According to a recent study by the Fraser Institute, tax rates are the key factor drivings investment decision-making. The study concluded that Alberta’s former prosperity was driven by its low (conservative) tax regime and its new (socialist) tax rates will discourage business investment in Alberta. But was Alberta tax advantage really the reason for the province’s success? Business leaders make major investment decisions after an exhaustive analytical process. This includes complex cost-benefit analysis, with organizational resource requirements and finance factored for expected inflation and the cost of money. There’s a detailed analysis of a host of market, political and social risks. Then financial models are generated to predict the monetary returns, expressed in an accounting figure called EBITDA (earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization). Although investment decisions are multi-faceted, the deciding factor is usually EBITDA. And the returns that matter are calculated before income taxes are paid. For most major investment decisions, tax rates are a secondary consideration. Stock market multiples are also calculated using EBITDA and so returns to investors are also largely independent of tax considerations. If tax rates really mattered, investment dollars should be flooding into low-tax regimes like Switzerland. Considering the massive investment being made in high-tax United Kingdom, or into states like New York and California that have considerably higher tax regimes than Alberta, a case could be made that tax rates don’t influence major investment decisions at all. A critical variable for investments in mega oil and gas projects is (obviously) the price of oil, which is roughly
No matter what your stance regarding the carbon tax issue is, Jan. 1st marked its implementation. A carbon levy is now being charged on all fuels that emit greenhouse gas emissions when combusted at a rate of $20/tonne in 2017 and $30/tonne in 2018. The rate is based on the amount of carbon pollution released by the fuel when it’s combusted, not on the mass of fuel itself, the province indicates. It seems like there is no middle ground when it comes to the new carbon tax - Albertans are either in favour, or they’re not. The NDP government says the carbon tax is necessary as it’s the most cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. However, it also means increased costs to live in Alberta. Albertans are expected to see higher prices not only at the pumps, but higher prices at the grocery store, with delivery services, in household bills - the list goes on and on. As well, there is speculation that jobs will be lost because of the new carbon tax - the timing of which couldn’t be worse as Alberta has faced tough economic times for upwards of three years now. However, a little glimmer of hope to help offset increased costs is the newly announced carbon tax rebate program for some Albertans. The rebate program helps lower- and middle-income families adjust to the additional costs of carbon. Families will also be able to take advantage of energy-efficiency programs that will start as early as this spring. The carbon levy rebate is expected to recycle $95 million back to Alberta households in 2016-17 and $435 million in 2017-18. In 2017, 60% of households are expected to receive a full rebate to help offset the costs of the carbon levy. This means a single adult earning up to $47,500 per year will receive a rebate of $200 and a couple earning up to $95,000 per year will receive $300. Parents that qualify for the rebate will receive up to an additional $30 per child (to a maximum of four). Rebates will also increase in 2018, along with the carbon levy, to $300 for singles, $450 for couples, and $45 per child. Albertans do not have to apply to receive the rebate, but they must file their 2015 and subsequent income tax returns to be eligible. The rebate is non-taxable and also refundable, meaning those eligible will receive it even if they pay no provincial income taxes. In a time that Alberta still faces economic uncertainty, this is welcome news. However, only time will tell the full effects the carbon tax will have on families in our province.
half of what it was a few years ago. More importantly, the volatility of the price is shattering the analytics behind mega projects. The price of oil may stabilize at a decent price but future projects must factor in the potential for the price to fall to $20 a barrel, since oil pricing is now considered very volatile. This makes the worst-case scenario for any mega project uneconomic. And when you factor in the growing political and social opposition to oil and gas development, the numbers and the risk factors just don’t add up. What drove oil and gas investments in the past was not low tax rates. It was high oil prices and low price volatility. Just the opposite factors are inhibiting investment today: low prices and high price volatility. But this obsession with taxes in some quarters of Alberta is much more. Many conservatives consider raising taxes morally reprehensible. They view taxation as a kind of theft. For them, it’s not a means to redistribute wealth, it’s a crime against the whole notion of personal success. Former premier Ralph Klein first introduced the idea of the Alberta Advantage in the late 1990s. It was part of his strategy to kick-start another oil and gas boom. At the end of the day, his Alberta Advantage was a corporate windfall that didn’t really help normal wage-earning citizens. Contrast that with the vision of former Progressive Conservative Premier Peter Lougheed, who in the 1970s established the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund and jacked up oil and gas royalties to ensure a reasonable return for Alberta’s oil and gas assets. Lougheed’s plan, if it had survived, would have built a contingency fund of many hundreds of billions of dollars. These resources could today be used to support vulnerable Albertans through some pretty tough times. Perhaps it’s time we thought more carefully about what kind of advantage we really want to construct in Alberta and ensure that it’s driving a broader range of investments in our province, while serving the needs of all Albertans, not just mega corporations.

Celebrating Canada’s Golden Jubilee this year Canada is currently celebrating the 150 anniversary of Confederation – an event formally (although not probably not commonly) referred to as the Sesquicentennial. The Canadian centennial year of 1967 was full of celebrations and events and is still considered one of most successful milestone years in our country’s history. In contrast, Canada’s Golden Jubilee or 50th anniversary of Confederation in 1917 was a very subdued event. The nation was embroiled in the horrific First World War. All of the country’s resources and attention were devoted to the war effort. Short of an unexpected early peace, there was no public mood to have any kind of widespread public celebration. Every issue of the local newspapers brought a reminder of the enormous scope and cost of the war. For example, the Hill End community, south east of Red Deer and Penhold, held a special memorial service for 11 young men who had already lost their lives overseas. That would have been almost all the young men of the district between the ages of 17 and 40. A whole generation in that one community had been lost. In June 27th, 1917 edition of the weekly Red Deer News, photos and background of four of the lost Hill End soldiers were printed along the
top of the front page. Shortly before that, word was received of the death of the beloved Rev. Webster FanningHarris, the former minister at St. Luke’s Anglican Church. He had finally succumbed to the terrible wounds suffered from the shellfire that had hit while he was conducting a frontline funeral service during brutal Battle of the Somme. Fanning-Harris was the first Canadian chaplain to lose his life while on active service during the war. This is not to say that there were no observances of the Golden Jubilee of Confederation. Every church in Red Deer held special commemorations, either as part of the regular Sunday morning services on July 1st, or as special anniversary services on the Sunday evening. The Canadian Government declared Monday, July 2nd to be a special national holiday to mark the Jubilee. An attempt was still made to offset any criticism of this holiday by also making it a special Red Cross Day. People were encouraged to use any events held on the holiday Monday as fundraisers for the Red Cross. That national organization would thereby have more funds and resources to support the soldiers serving overseas, and any of their families in need back home. One unique local event was also organized by Edward Michener,
Michael Dawe
CELEBRATION - Edward Michener, Red Deer’s MLA (left side of photo) and Tom Gaetz (right side of photo) with a troupe from the travelling Chautauqua Show at Red Deer’s CPR rail station on July 4th, 1917. The very popular Chautauqua Show came to Red Deer shortly after the Golden Jubilee of Confederation commemorations on July 1st and 2nd. Photo courtesy of the Red Deer Archives P409 Red Deer’s MLA and leader of the Conservative opposition party in the Alberta Legislature. Michener had been very narrowly re-elected in Red Deer riding in the June 6th, 1917 provincial election. It had been initially thought that Michener had lost until reports of some surprisingly strong support at Rocky Mountain House came in. In particular, Michener had won the Pleasant Vale poll by a vote of 27 to one. That provided him with the crucial 25 vote margin by which he won the entire constituency. Consequently, a very grateful Michener and the provincial Conservative party organization or-
ganized a special train to travel from Red Deer to Rocky Mountain House on July 2nd. Time was taken for stops to make speeches of thanks and celebration at the various communities along the rail line, such as Sylvan Lake, Eckville, Condor and Alhambra. The Red Deer Citizens’ Band went along to make sure that there was lots of festive music at each stop. Once in Rocky Mountain House, there was a full day’s schedule of sports competitions. These included foot races, track and field events, tugof-war contests and a special baseball game between Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House. The afternoon was capped with a
lavish picnic, accompanied, of course, by performances by the Red Deer Citizens’ Band and lots of rousing political speeches by Edward Michener and his political allies. As to be expected, all of the speeches were full of reminders that Confederation had been accomplished in 1867 under that leadership of the Conservative Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald. Despite the success of these special celebrations, Edward Michener resigned his seat a few months later and was appointed as Red Deer’s first and only member of the Senate by Conservative Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden.

POLICE INVESTIGATE HOME INVASIONS Red Deer RCMP are investigating three unrelated home invasions that occurred over the past 10 days; while they don’t appear to be related at this point, all three appear to have been targeted. RCMP received a report shortly before 11 p.m. on Dec. 27th that two men entered a residence on Barrett Drive, produced a handgun and demanded money and other items. The three occupants of the residence report that the two men searched the residence but left empty-handed; they were seen heading northbound on foot on Barrett Drive. The first male suspect is described as 6’0” tall, wearing a dark brown trench coat, gloves, and a balaclava with cut out eye holes; he carried a black handgun and spoke with what may have been a French accent. The second man is described as 5’3” tall and approximately 150 lbs; he wore dark clothing and a balaclava with eyes and nose printed on the fabric. No one was injured in this incident. The investigation is ongoing, and police believe this was a targeted robbery attempt. RCMP received a report shortly after 1 a.m. on Jan. 2nd that four men had entered an apartment in a building located on 33rd St.; several of the men were reported to be carrying baseball bats and a one carried a silver handgun. They robbed the two male victims of cell phones, cash, wallets and a Play Station 4, and stole a Chevrolet Silverado truck belonging to one of the victims. Both victims were assaulted during the home invasion and were taken to hospital for treatment of what is believed to be non-serious injuries. The four suspects all wore black clothing and black toques, and had their faces covered with black balaclavas or bandanas. Several of the men were seen leaving the scene in a black sporty-looking four-door car with silver rims and tinted windows; the others left in the stolen truck. RCMP recovered the stolen truck shortly after 7 a.m. the same morning, after it had
been abandoned in the Morrisroe neighbourhood. While the suspects were not known to their victims, at this point in the investigation, RCMP believe this may have been a targeted incident. RCMP were called to a third home invasion at 12:10 a.m. on Jan. 5th in response to a complaint that three masked men had demanded entry into a home on Terrace Park carrying baseball bats and a long-barrel firearm; once inside, they robbed the occupants of cash, electronics and other items including an acoustic guitar and a black and white Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. The suspects stated they were looking for a specific individual who they wrongly believed lived at the residence. The suspects were not known to the victims. No one was injured in this robbery. The man carrying the shotgun is described as about 6’ to 6’2” tall, medium build, wearing a skull face mask, a black jacket and dark jeans. The second man is described as about 5’10” tall with an average build and a scruffy face, wearing all black with a balaclava with red writing on it. The third suspect wore all black. RCMP continue to investigate. Anyone with information about any of these incident is asked to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

SOLID SURFACE COUNTERTOPS Looking for a way to revitalize your kitchen or bath? Installing granite or quartz countertops is a sure way to add instant wow factor to your space. Selecting your countertop material is a big decision; these questions can help to narrow your options: 1) Are your cabinets Ƃnished in a contemporary style, or more traditional? Quartz tends to work better in contemporary spaces & granite with traditional design KRISTA LEONARD, BAID
2) Do your cabinets have strong wood grain? Busy wood grain coordinates better with solid granite & quartz colors. 3) Do you want your countertops to make the main statement in your space? A granite slab with lots of grain & movement will help your countertops become the focal point. 4) Are you envisioning a highly decorative backsplash, or a simple pattern? If you have a bold splash in mind we would recommend quartz tops, or a less-busy granite. We recommend selecting a splash after your new tops are installed.

While the players from the two teams are unable to take part in the competition themselves due to the rigorous demands of playing Major Junior hockey, they realize the need for donors. “We had a player a number of years ago that cut his leg in a game on the road and lost a lot of blood, so the players, they realize the need. If there wasn’t blood available that guy’s hockey career probably would have ended,” Williams said. According to Richer there is always a need for new donors. “We’re always looking for all blood types. Just any blood donation across the board,” he said, noting that new iron eligibility guidelines for female donors has increased the need as well. “In the past what’s happened is that they used to be able to donate every eight weeks but now it’s every 12 weeks. That’s a call too for more female donors — more donors just in general — to help offset the guidelines that way.” The Canadian Blood Services’ Red Deer clinic is open Tuesday through Saturday.

SPOTLIGHT ON INVISIBLE DISABILITIES Despite the growing number of Canadians challenged with an invisible disability, whether that be with hearing loss, mental health or a learn-
ing disability, they have few places or resources to turn to when faced with their new life experiences. This project has been funded by the Government of Canada’s Social Development Partnerships Program - Disability component, and the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association (CHHA) is spearheading the Spotlight on Invisible Disabilities Project to conduct consultations and forums to give those with invisible disabilities a voice and an opportunity to contribute to Canada’s accessibility legislation. CHHA will be leading a national consultation process with the help of 18 Canadian disability organizations who represent the interests of over nine million individuals who are relying on these consultations to change legislation to improve accessibility and inclusion of Canadians with disabilities. Folks are encouraged to fill out the Spotlight online survey or take part in upcoming webinars and tell organizers what an accessible Canada means to them. Check out the CHHA web site for more information.

Central Alberta Theatre presents Soul Mate BY MARK WEBER Express staff
So he introduces her to the ‘great game’ and tells her that if the games turns out to amaze, startle and stun her, then she must agree to stay on earth forever. On the other hand, she points out that if she’s not essentially blown away by the game, then Phillip has to be her servant forever.
Central Alberta Theatre is gearing up for its next dinner theatre production - Soul Mate - which opens Jan. 13th at the Black Knight Inn. Shows run through to Feb. 11th. According to a synopsis, “For centuries demons have played the game of offering mortals their fondest wish in exchange for their souls.” When Moira Bedham gets drawn into the sport by Phillip, the unexpected choice of her victim may be more than anyone (or any demon) expected. “What results is a high-spirited comedy of demons, desire and discovering humanity.” There are two demons who are playing a game for a human soul - a little something that demons do to pass the time, explains director Albertus Koett. “One is being introduced to, as they call it, the ‘great game’. “The one demon is kind of showing the ropes to the other one. Phillip loves to be on earth. Moira is tired of it - she just wants to go. So she’s ready to leave, but Philip doesn’t want her to go just yet.”
▾ “THIS IS ALSO A FASTPACED SCRIPT, AND THAT’S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE PUSHED HARD FOR - CREATING A FAST PACE FOR THE SHOW.”
Albertus Koett ▴
“So those are the stakes that are set up really early in the show. It’s not that they are competing for souls - Phillip is trying to show Moira how exciting and fun it can be,” said Koett. Penned by David Belke, the play stars Tori Grebinski, Tara Rorke, Richard Jackson and Jason Steele. Koett said Soul Mate could be described as a smart comedy. “It’s not a farce, so it’s not a
laugh per minute type of thing. What struck me the most when I was reading it were the characters. I really liked the characters - it was less about the comedy and the situations and more that the characters just jumped out - I could see them right away. I knew who they were, and what their motivations were. That was something that I really enjoyed when I first read the script.” Koett also describes Belke’s writing style as character-driven with fun twists. “This is also a fast-paced script, and that’s something that we have pushed hard for - creating a fast pace for the show,” he noted of the rehearsal process. “There’s a few scenes where people are almost talking on top of each other and it’s a challenge to craft that into a narrative that the audience pick up.” In the meantime, Koett, who is also a very talented actor in his own right, said that he’s been leaning more to the director side of things for some time now. “I love the collaboration with people. And one of the things I try to do as a director is not be a dictator. I listen to people and listen to their ideas and we put

it together from there. That’s something that I enjoy.” Meanwhile, according to his web site, Belke fills many different roles in the theatre - performer, producer, designer, teacher and award-winning playwright. His plays have been performed across Canada, as well
as in the United States, England, Northern Ireland, India, Ghana and Greece. He currently works as resident playwright with Edmonton’s Shadow Theatre where he is also in charge of new play development. Active in Edmonton’s theatre community, Belke also current-
ly serves as the Alberta regional representative for the national council of the Playwrights Guild of Canada and is vice president of the board for Alberta Playwrights Network. For ticket information, visit www.blackknightinn.ca. mark.weber@reddeerexpress.com

Are you still eating the same old sandwich? Tired of plain-old peanut butter and jelly? Enjoy your packed lunches again with these suggestions. You know the many health and money-saving benefits of eating a packed lunch, but you also know they can get old after a while when you eat the same thing day after day. In the morning rush before work or school it can be easiest to just pack what’s familiar. Are you stuck in a rut of PB&J, a hamand-cheese sandwich, or a frozen dinner tray with snacks and maybe a piece of fruit thrown in? If you and your kids are getting tired of packed lunches, maybe it’s time to change things up a little. Here are a few simple, yummy and healthy packed lunch ideas to get you started. Unstuck sandwiches. Forget the peanut butter and try something new. In the evening, spend a few minutes putting together a sandwich filling
such as tuna salad, chicken salad or egg salad. All great sources of protein, these ingredients can be mixed with low-fat mayonnaise or mashed avocado and a few spices. Store the salad in the refrigerator overnight for a quick way to make a yummy sandwich the next morning. No more bologna and American cheese. Why not try different types of deli meat and cheese? Roasted turkey, pastrami, or roast beef paired with a slice of provolone, cheddar, or Colby Jack cheese on whole-grain bread is a great way to mix things up. Don’t forget the lettuce, tomato and pickle. Unwrapped wraps. Trying to cut back on carbs? Get creative with a wholegrain tortilla instead of bread. What about peanut butter, a drizzle of honey, banana slices and bacon? Maybe you’d prefer a light Caesar salad with grilled chicken or deli turkey with leaf spinach, hummus and goat

cheese. Other yummy options are a black bean, avocado and red onion wrap dipped in salsa or a wrap made with canned salmon, Parmesan cheese and light Caesar dressing. Unleashed leftovers. There aren’t many lunches easier than packing up leftovers from your dinner the night before. As you prepare your dinners, plan to make extra for the following day. When dinner is over, simply divide the leftovers into single-serving portable containers to be warmed in the microwave when lunchtime rolls around. Soups, casseroles and pastas all make great leftovers for lunch. Unconsidered sides. You’ve got your sandwich, wrap, or leftovers so what should you eat on the side? Fruits and vegetables are your healthiest bet, so make them your go-to side dish. Keep a variety of fresh produce on hand to make packing lunches quick and easy. Pack a banana, apple slices or grapes. Bring along celery or carrot sticks dipped in hummus. Cucumber slices, grape tomatoes, pepper slices, strawberries or blueberries make
great sides as well. Unsampled snacks. Anyone wanting to eat healthy and lose weight would do well to include a few low-calorie snacks as part of their everyday diet. Rather than the typical bag of chips or cookies, think of foods that are high in protein and fiber to fill you up and give you lasting energy. A few ideas include a hard-boiled egg, nuts mixed with dried fruit, whole-grain crackers and hummus, a cheese stick, a cup of Greek yogurt, popcorn or fresh fruits and veggies. Pack your wallet. Is packing your lunch really worth the time and effort? It depends on how much you spend on eating out compared to how much the foods you pack cost. But in most cases, packing your lunch can save you bundles. Compare a $10 lunch out to a $4 packed lunch. In one week you’ll save $30, $120 in a month, and more than $1,400 in a year.

Annual outdoor tournament gets ready for seventh year BY ZACHARY CORMIER Express staff
Anyone who’s ever played a game of pickup hockey on an outdoor rink knows there’s nothing quite like it. The solid, natural feel of the ice surface, the rush of the cold winter air on your face; it’s a feeling that never gets old for those who love the game of hockey. Even though pickup games aren’t officiated and are just for fun, there’s just something special about them. Now imagine taking that unique feeling of playing Canada’s national pastime outdoors and add referees, organized teams, coaches, heated benches and top it all off with a retro style that brings players (or more likely their parents) back to the glory days of Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Patrick Roy. That’s the idea behind Al Sim’s annual Tommy Gun’s Outdoor Winter Classic (OWC), a tournament for Midget B teams which is set to get underway at Bower Community Rinks at the end of the month. “I wanted to do something that’s unique for that age group. We lose so many kids when they’re 14-years-old in Red Deer Minor Hockey just because of jobs and school and school sports and girlfriends and everything else,” said Sim, a Red Deer Minor Hockey parent who created the OWC seven years ago as a way to give Midget B hockey players a unique experience to look back on after their minor hockey days are over. According to Sim, the overall idea was to give Midget B hockey players — most of who are probably in their final three seasons of minor hockey — a reason to continue playing the sport they love. “That’s what happened now. These kids — if they’re in that hockey stream that they’re in — they’re gung-ho and they want to continue playing just so they can play in the Winter Classic.” Every detail of the festival-like event is created specifically to give every player an NHL experience, from the jerseys the teams wear right down to the national anthems that are sung before each game. To start, each of the eight teams that participates in the tournament gets a set of sponsored jerseys based on a theme which changes from year to year and which the players get to keep at the end of the weekend. For example, this year’s theme is teams from the now-defunct World Hockey Association, so teams will don the colours of the old Alberta Oilers, Calgary Cowboys and Indianapolis Racers. “Some teams whose jerseys people have probably never seen,” Sim said. Each team is also provided with their own dressing room to use over the course of the threeday tourney. “I hear that from a lot of buddies and friends in our organization who just say hey, no matter what they can’t wait for two or three years down

the road when they can play in the Winter Classic but all over Canada. “We have a waiting list of probably 40 teams when they can have the jerseys and basically act per year,” Sim said, adding this year they have as a pro for the weekend,” Sim said.

Now, as he prepares for the start of the seventh iteration of the tournament, Sim said he’s proud of what the event has become. “When I see kids now that are 24 or 25-yearsold, the first kids that ran through it and you see them wearing their jerseys at the outdoor rink or you see them at the ski hill. It’s pretty neat to see them. They’re hung up in their rooms. They’re a keepsake and that’s the idea is that when they’re 40 they can look back and talk about the most fun they ever had playing minor hockey was in Red Deer at the Winter Classic.” The Tommy Gun’s Outdoor Winter Classic begins Jan. 27th and runs through Jan. 29th at the Bower Community Rinks. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Red Deer Ringette tournament deemed a success by organizers BY ZACHARY CORMIER Express staff
It was a busy weekend of ringette in rinks all around Red Deer as more than 60 teams of every age group converged on the City for the annual Red Deer Ringette Baymont Friends on Ice Tournament. Now in its 33rd year, the popular tournament saw teams from around Alberta come to compete and have some fun at what has become one of the largest ringette tournaments in the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minus a few minor hiccups it was a very successful weekend. I think everybody enjoyed themselves. A lot of them had fun and that is what it is about. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about fun, friendship and fair play,â&#x20AC;? said Tournament Coordinator Pam Jones of the event, which took place from Friday through Saturday last weekend at the Kinsmen, Kinex, Dawe and Penhold arenas. It was a good weekend on the ice for Red Deerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local ringette teams, who combined for eight medals at their home tourney. According to Jones the way the teams played at the tournament showcased how much they have improved over the first half of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our teams are doing well. I think they are getting better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mid-season, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got about two months left of ringette and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long ways since September,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting it
takes a lot of people to make a tournament like this one a success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our community helps us a lot. Our parents in ringette do a huge amount of volunteering for shifts and team jobs.â&#x20AC;? Over the past 33 years, the Friends on Ice Tournament has grown to become the third largest ringette tournament in the province, trailing only Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Esso Golden Ring Tournament and the Edmonton Silver Ring Tournament for number of teams. Jones said the tournament committee is extremely proud of how much the sport has grown in Red Deer and around Alberta since she and her co-chair Elaine Die took over the tournament five years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls of winter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fastest sport on ice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get these girls athletic and get them to be well-rounded. Some girls want to skate but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to play hockey and this is their thing,â&#x20AC;? she said. In fact, Red Deer Ringette is launching an eight session introductory recreational ringette league on Friday for that very purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for kids anywhere from five to six-yearolds to 12-year-olds who may want to join but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like,â&#x20AC;? said Jones, noting the program, which will be run by volunteer Red Deer Ringette coaches, will go through drills and practicing skills in a game setting.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express Jones said she wants to extend thanks to the City of Red Deer and arena staff who worked hard to make sure everything went smoothly during the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were amazing and helped out so much by making sure that the ice was done.â&#x20AC;?

Chiefs confident after performance at Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tournament BY ZACHARY CORMIER Express staff
The Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament is one of the toughest in all of Canada. Held in Calgary and featuring teams from areas as far-flung as New York, Alaska and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in one case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Belarus, the annual championship is among the most competitive Midget tournaments in the world.
And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes it the perfect place for teams like the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs to test their mettle against some of the best hockey programs out there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difficult tournament to do well in with so many games and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no easy games. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing basically the best teams in Alberta, B.C., some of the international teams,â&#x20AC;? said Optimist Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Head Coach Doug Quinn of the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which took place
in Calgary over the week after Boxing Day. It would turn out to be a solid five days of hockey for the Chiefs, although it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start out that way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost our first game. Got off to a bad start,â&#x20AC;? said Quinn of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening game against the Foothills CFR Chemical Bisons, which they ended up losing 5-2 after allowing a pair of goals in the first six minutes of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they had two goals on

four shots and that was kind of hard. We just never really could recover.â&#x20AC;? At a tournament as short and competitive as the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a single loss can mean the difference between qualifying for a playoff spot and heading home early because only the winner of each of the five pools and three wild card teams earn a spot in the single-elimination round. If you lose one of your four games in the round robin, your odds of winning your five-team pool are pretty much up. If you lose two, you can basically forget about the wild card. The Chiefs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the odds phase them, though. They proceeded to go undefeated throughout the rest of the round robin, posting big wins over the Moose Jaw Generals (3-1), Alaska Oilers (6-3) and Greater Vancouver Canadians (6-2) to finish the
pool round with a 3-1 record and a good enough scoring differential to qualify in the first wild card spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we played three pretty strong games in a row to make the quarterfinals,â&#x20AC;? said Quinn. Unfortunately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the ride would end for the Chiefs, who ran up against a Belarus U17 National team which had been dominant throughout the round robin. Despite a valiant effort on Red Deerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part, they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t topple Belarus, falling 4-0 to the eventual tournament champs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we competed pretty hard. The shots were only 18-14. They had guys who could make an individual play and we just never scored on our opportunities,â&#x20AC;? Quinn said, adding that overall the tournament was a good experience for his squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously we all wanted to
win but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also looking to see if we improved and developed as a team and I definitely thought we did. I thought we took it to a new level.â&#x20AC;? The strong performance in the tournament might prove to be a good indicator of things to come for the Chiefs. This past weekend, the team won a pair of important league games over the Knights of Columbus Pats and the Sherwood Park J. Ennis Kings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it helped give us a little bit more confidence and understand a little bit better how hard you have to work and how hard you have to compete. I think it definitely was a positive experience for us,â&#x20AC;? said Quinn. The Red Deer Optimist Chiefs are back at home this Saturday as they host the SEAC Tigers at the Kinex Arenas. Puck drop on that game is at 4:30 p.m. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

RUSTIC CHARM - This master bedroom in a Parkland Builders Group Limited show home in Laredo showcases how simple, small accents can give even a small space an identity all its own. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express
New renovation planning for the New Year It’s a new year! Since the last time I wrote so much has happened. Because of early deadlines in December, I penned my last articles in mid-December and then took off my writing hat for a few weeks. After a hectic and emotion filled holiday season, it feels wonderful to sit down at my laptop again and to punch out a few phrases for you the readers. I hope you have had a wonderful holiday and are going into 2017 with fresh optimism and a heart full of wonder. The holidays put us into full renovation mode as we hastily painted and installed new flooring in a guest bedroom. Realizing we had two sets of overnight guests for Christmas put us into fast forward mode on a
bedroom that has been sitting empty for months. It is amazing what you can accomplish in a short period of time. We painted into the wee hours and installed a new vinyl plank glueless flooring which was a simple pleasure to install. A few hours and we had a fresh new flooring which gave the room a hip barn wood feel which strolled hand in hand with my bordello/barn theme. Frenzied and last minute renovations are common for people seeing the holidays or a large life event creeping up on them and I am now amongst the lot of you who have renovated with a deadline looming – we completed the room on Dec. 21st! This gave me just enough time to scramble around and find items to dress the room up. When Christmas Eve
Kim Wyse
came, all was calm and bright as we welcomed our kids home and showed them to their rooms. What a delight to see their reactions to the changes in the bedroom, especially my sweeties’ youngest son who used to occupy this space! While the renovation was satisfying, it was even more enjoyable to see our adult children and our guests at New Year’s crawl into the inviting space. It felt wonderful to have enough beds for everyone who wanted to camp overnight and I was overjoyed to have all guests wake up and exclaim that they had slept soundly and had thoroughly enjoyed the room. This is the result of care and attention that goes into a home renovation project; whether it is drawn out and expensive or quick and dirty (cheap), the reward is in the reaction from friends and family as they view and use the space for the first time. The reward of having guests in your home is
worth the effort it may take to create an accommodating space. It may not be a full renovation but the addition of cozy sheets and comfortable pillows will make your guests feel like royalty as they spend a few nights in your home. Add an inexpensive down mattress topper to make an older mattress feel more inviting and be sure to include soft lighting and alluring scents (like lavender) to help all have a good night’s rest. Pictures of this dramatic and fast room makeover are up on my facebook page called Ask a Designer/Ask a Realtor. Please visit and see what you think of our hasty yet rewarding guest room re-do! A hearty and happy New Year to everyone, may this year be filled with new starts and exciting experiences! Kim Wyse is a Central Alberta freelance designer.

Mortgage advice for teachers and nurses Attention nurses and teachers! #thatcanadianmortgageguy has some cool features for nurses and teachers to help them buy their homes! My name is Jean-Guy Turcotte and I’m a mortgage broker, many of my clients call me #thatcanadianmortgageguy. Only because many cannot pronounce my name, so let’s make it easier. Call me JG, JT or #thatcanadianmortgageguy. Anyway, enough about me. If you are a nurse, health care professional or teacher and find yourself looking to buy a home, but don’t think you are ready yet, this is a great place for you to start your research. I’ve been fortunate in my 15 year financial lending career to have helped hundreds of clients buy homes. As a health care professional or educator you have a union and/or a large organizational structure that controls your salary, type of contract, location, etc. Many clients think they are unable to qualify for a mortgage simply because of their current contract with their school district or Alberta Health Services. But alas, you are in luck! Banks love both of your professions and have ways around some of those ‘temporary’ or ‘casual’ contracts. There are multiple ways for banks, lenders and credit unions to qualify your income, in fact, it may help you qualify for your next home or mortgage easier than you think. There may be a few more steps to take, but in reality they are documents that we’d need to help you qualify. For instance with the following documentation we can ascertain how much you can qualify for: 1. Two year average via your T4’s or Notice of Assessments 2. T4 and YTD pay stub 3. One year T4 and next year’s contract 4. New permanent full-time contract 5. New permanent part-time contract 6. Maternity leave 7. Pro-rated income for the year (new) 8. Recently dated employment letter (easily available on your employment portal) What does this mean for me Jean-
Guy, JG, JT, #thatcanadianmortgageguy or whatever it is that you call yourself??! Let’s have a look at a few examples: Scenario one (two year average) - if you having been working on a casual contract, or no contract at all (subbing, casual hours, etc.) for a couple years you can still buy a home. Banks allow us to average your last two years of Notice of Assessments or T4’s. It does not matter if it is a full two years or not. If you worked only two months in 2014, but worked a full year in 2015, we can average those two years of T4’s. Example: 2014 T4: $20,000 + 2015 T4: $40,000. The bank will use $30,000 for income qualification. Scenario two (T4 and YTD pay stub) - if you have only been on the job for less than two tax years, that is okay! Banks and lenders will allow us to take your most recent T4 income and average that with your most recent YTD (year to date) pay stub. Or take the pay stub year to date if it is less than last year’s T4. For example: 2015 T4: $45,000 and YTD pay stub for 2016 is $60,000. We can average the two: $52,500 and use that for qualification. Scenario 3 (T4 and next year’s contract) - remember that banks will take a two year average? Even though your new temporary or permanent contract has not even started yet we can use the average of the two! And potentially use the full contract, but let’s pretend we can only use the average. We will take your 2015 T4 or 2016 YTD pay stub from last year and average it with your new contract that you just were offered. Even if it’s a temporary position! Example: 2016 T4 or year end pay stub: $40,000 and new contract for 2017 is $70,000. We can average the two together because we know that the contract is promised for at least the following year. Therefore $55,000 is what we can use for qualification. In some cases with certain lenders we can use the new temporary contract at $70,000, though other qualifying criteria must be met too! Scenario four (new permanent contract) - this one is straightforward and the easiest for everyone. We will use your new permanent guaranteed con-
Jean-Guy Turcotte
tract to qualify you for the mortgage. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first day on the job or 10th year, we will use what your new permanent position offers. If it says $80,000, that is the number we will use. Scenario five (new permanent contract – part time or 0.5 FTE) - if you are guaranteed a specific set of hours per week, but it is guaranteed and permanent we can use it! Even if it’s only three days a week and it’s a brand new position with the district or AHS, we can use that guaranteed base. We can not use extra shifts that you take over and above until you have two years of that extra income being consistent. But your base salary is usable from day one, even though it is not full time. Scenario six (maternity leave) - if you are pregnant currently and are on maternity leave receiving income
from EI we do not need to use the reduced amount. As long as you have a contract/position to return to, we can use your full salary on your contract. Even if you have nine months left on your mat leave, we can use your returning to work salary as of right now. It is pretty slick. You will obviously need to verify this for the bank, by providing a letter of employment confirming that your position is waiting for you. Scenario seven (pro-rated income) this one is a bit rare because hardly any banks do this. But, it does exist. Let’s say you have been working at your new casual job for only nine months. It is a casual position with no guaranteed hours at all. We can take your last nine months of pay stubs, add up the total income for those months, divide it by nine to get the average, and then mul-
tiply it by 12 to pro-rate that income over the entire year. That will project what you are on pace to earn this year. That pro-rated amount would allow you to purchase a home on income that has not been earned yet. It is a very cool product, and therefore is a bit rare! I’ll be up front, this isn’t easy to qualify for, and you would have to have some strong history for this one to work, but I’ve used it in the past and it works if you are closer to the end of a year to show the consistency. It’s kind of like a Sasquatch these days – some have seen it but only a few - but depending on certain circumstances, such as being in the same position for many years, but at a new location or ward.
