FCC predicts growth in Canadian agriculture exports Agri-Trade Equipment Expo set to begin in Red Deer today BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com
Canadian agriculture exports are continuing to grow which is benefiting Canadians and the rest of the world. That news was shared as the Agri-Trade Equipment Expo in Red Deer begins. Two reports released by Farm Credit Canada (FCC) show that Canada is currently producing 6.3% of the world’s total food export, which has a value $461.8 billion. That total puts them in fifth in the world behind the United States, China the Netherlands and Brazil. “The good news story of Canadian agriculture is that exports are quite diverse and Canada remains a major player in the overall export market,” FCC Principal Agricultural Economist Craig Klemmer said. “Opportunities are continuing to build and there is a lot of excitement for the future of Canadian agriculture and processed food manufacturing in Canada.” Due to the growth of the Brazilian and Chines agriculture markets, Canada fell from third to fifth in world rankings since 2012. Klemmer, however, said this is not necessarily a concern. “We have had a shift of products and major players have come online. Brazil for example has opened up a lot of land and are putting more products in the export market,” he said. “Canadian agriculture remains very competitive and we are in a good position to continue to innovate; continue to add value and continue to be a major player int he export market.” Canada’s strength lies in its diversity, according to Klemmer. This means that Canadian agriculture is not solely reliant on a single markets which are subject to market fluctuation. “We have pulse crops, we have beef, we have pork and a number of other exports in both the ag-commodity sector and food manufacturing sector,” he said. “That bodes well for Canadian ag industry here in Canada and the future.” He added that Canadian farmers have a firm grasp on diversification and just need to continue on with their three to five year business plans. “It is just about taking a long-term view,” he said.

GETTING READY - Crews were seen setting up for Agri-Trade, which takes place Nov. 8th to 11th at Westerner Park. Currently the Canadian agricultural sector employs 2.1 million workers and accounts for 6.7% of the national GDP. A strong agricultural sector. However, it goes beyond economics because Canadians also benefit from innovation. “When we think about the domestic market, a lot of of the product innovation we are seeing is spurred by local demand and Canadian demand,” Klemmer said. “Products that may have been popular before have changed and Canadian food manufacturing companies are taking advantage of that.

“The diversity of Canada is providing opportunities to export these products afterwards that were developed for the Canadian market.” Klemmer and FCC predict strong growth in the future, something they attribute to growth in ag technology and innovation. “There is innovation in products that we have when we are talking about ag-commodities, there are new genetics that are coming in, there are new crops coming on, we are seeing more pulse crops coming into the market, we are seeing soy beans move further west than we have in the past

S
itting in his retirement residence, Thomas Pyper reflected back on his sailing two years after the Second World War had taken place. Although he never served himself, the images of remnants left over from the war are forever ingrained in his mind. Originally from Holland, Pyper’s journey into a full life of work began at a young age. “When you were 13 years of age you had a choice. You go to Grade 8, you go to high school, you go to work or trade school, and I decided to go to trade school as a machinist blacksmith,” said Pyper. He then went to work when he was 16-years-old. He then worked as an engineer on a few ships, climbing his way up. He later began sailing as a Dutch merchant marine engineer in 1947, with his first trip being to Poland.
Pyper ended up sailing on three different ships, and was gone for 1,061 days over a few years. “Half of it I was married, so my wife was alone,” he said. And what Pyper saw while on those sailing trips was unforgettable. In a book he wrote several years ago titled A Sailor’s Life, Pyper reflected on what he saw during that time. On route to Poland, the ship he was on sailed through a channel that had been swept clean of mines. When he arrived in Stettin, a former German city now incorporated by Poland, he saw many leftovers of the war, as the British had been bombing much of that area. “It was so bad that it looked like the war had ended in that week or day before. It was a horrible mess what I saw there,” said Pyper. What he saw, and referenced in his book, were half finished ships and u-boats scattered all over the place. Buildings were caved in and there were a lot of Russian soldiers with
rifles over their shoulders. In another trip, which took Pyper past the mouth of the Thames River, he was reminded once again of the damages done by the war. “When we came out of the north sea, which is between Scotland and England and Holland, the mouth of the Thames River was littered with masts sticking out of the water,” he said. Pyper added that he had thought the ships had been torpedoed, but learned otherwise. “The British had sunk them so the u-boats would not be able to sneak up the Thames River.” On another trip in the Atlantic Ocean, Pyper came across yet another reminder of the Second World War, a life raft floating on the water. It made him reflect on who might have been on it at that time at least two years ago. Over his six years as a sailor, Pyper made many trips visiting countries like Spain, Algeria, Morocco and more. He also sailed to many islands

in the Carribbean. By 1954, after obtaining his third class Marine Engineer Certificate, Pyper decided to make the move to Canada, following many of he and his wife’s relatives. He later ended up in Calgary, working at the University of Calgary as a stationary engineer, before moving to Kelowna to retire. Sitting on Pyper’s bookshelf is a book titled The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat, and what he learned about the loss of ships shocked him. What he learned was that he sailed over many sunken ships, which had a lot of those sailors unable to escape. He said he related as he was a marine engineer, always working below the sea level, similar to what those who died did. Those ships that were sunk during the war were generally always targeted by torpedoes in the middle of the ship where the boiler rooms were. Overall, Pyper stated in his book that sailing was an experience he will never forget.

In an Agreed Statement of Facts previously read, court heard that was arrested and taken to the detachment where two breath samples on June 4th at 4 p.m., Kurt Stenberg, a resident of Vanier Woods, were administered. The Agreed Statement of Facts stated Kolodychuk observed a school bus hit a tree and a stop sign in the neighbour- blew 200mg – two and a half times over the legal limit.
On Monday, two victim impact statements were submitted to the court - one from a student who was on the school bus at the time and another from the student’s mother. Crown Prosecutor Edward Ring said there are a number of aggravating factors including Kolodychuk’s blood alcohol level at the time of the offence, the driving pattern and the number and age of passengers on the bus. “She was in a position of trust,” he said. Defence Lawyer Will Willms said his client has acknowledged the seriousness of her actions. “She has struggled with issues - anxiety issues and other elements,” he said. “It was in November of 2016 that she recognized those issues.” Willms added Kolodychuk had been attending mental health to try and address those issues. “She fell short and she fell into a pattern of self medicating,” he said. “She caught her husband off guard and others close to her. She has expressed extreme remorse and felt terribly for those individuals on the bus and more so the parents.” In his ruling, Judge Bert Skinner said Kolodychuk’s actions could have potentially harmed not only herself but the children on the bus at the time. He said also to consider is the well-being of the parents, the impact to her employer as well as the impact to the community as the incident was reported by news outlets across Canada. “It was by more good luck than planning that no one was hurt. It is also a blow to the parents of the children,” he said. In addition, Kolodychuk also received 12 months probation and a 12 month driving prohibition. Kolodychuk will serve her time in prison on weekends. Following the sentencing, Stu Henry, superintendent for Red Deer Public Schools gave a statement outside of the courthouse. “It’s horrible story all around. We were really angry when this happened back in the spring. We are thankful none of our students were harmed.”

Honouring the men and women who served our country On Saturday millions of people around the world will take a few moments to remember those lost in battles or who have fought and lived to tell of their war experiences. Remembrance Day is becoming more meaningful with the never-ending conflicts around the globe. With these deaths there is a reminder of how vigilant we must be to guard the gift of peace and stability we enjoy here at home. When the world is a relatively calm place, Remembrance Day can be a difficult day for the younger set, not to mention many adults, to relate to. Services may be well attended but the realities of war and loss are hard to connect with in times of relative calm. Often young people have little to bridge themselves to the wars of the past. Even young adults and ‘baby boomers’ can be estranged from what it felt like to witness the horrendous
realities of war. The importance of never forgetting the sacrifices of those who have served in the war is that much more greater. The younger generations need to be informed of those men and women who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today. As for the poppy, a writer first made the connection between the poppy and battlefield deaths during the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th century, remarking that “Fields that were barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended.” After John McCrae’s poem In Flanders Fields was published in 1915 the poppy became a popular symbol for soldiers who died in battle. Three years later an American, Moina Michael, was working in a New York City YMCA canteen when she started wearing a poppy in memory of the millions who died on the battlefield.
During a 1920 visit to the United States a French woman, Madame Guerin, learned of the custom. On her return to France she decided to use handmade poppies to raise money for the destitute children in war-torn areas of the country. In November, 1921, the first poppies were distributed in Canada. On Remembrance Day we’re all united in a common cause to consider what has been given for us – both recently and in the years before many of us were even born. The relevance of the day must never be forgotten. The point is, it’s just not another day off, too much has been lost and too high a price has been paid for anyone to have careless attitudes about such an important day. We encourage Red Deerians to attend the services this coming Saturday at the CrossRoads Church and Veterans’ Park. Show your appreciation for the sacrifices these men and women gave for us.

Give us our daily bread - why a food cartel probe is necessary Is a bread cartel alive and well in Canada? The Competition Bureau is investigating major grocery chains in search of evidence of retail bread price fixing. Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro, Walmart and other companies have acknowledged the probe. Why is bread is being targeted by the bureau? Demonstrating beyond a reasonable doubt that grocers are colluding to keep retail prices artificially high is almost impossible. Several attempts have been made in the past, with at best mixed results. The average grocery store carries well over 15,000 different products. And prices can be affected by an array of factors, including: commodity rates; energy and labour costs; and new food safety and packaging regulations. These and others factors can influence prices in many categories more or less simultaneously. So intentional collusion to inflate profit margins would be hard to prove. Bread prices have historically been quite stable, with the exception of 2008 and 2009, when prices jumped almost 50 per cent for all bakery products. Unlike fruits, vegetables and even meat, bread has been immune to fluctuating prices for some time.
In fact, Canadians have access to the major grocers have demanded price cuts most affordable food basket in the world. from suppliers and it’s had a domino After the United States and perhaps effect on the industry.

spectre of a grocery cartel would not only be bad business, it threatens the vital social contract the industry has with Canadians. So no one may be arrested or even accused. But this investigation could restore peace in the food industry. A vibrant food sector requires a strong food-processing sector and that’s only possible if everyone in the industry makes a decent profit. If all food sectors, from farm to table, succeed, consumers end up with a greater variety of decently-priced, high-quality, innovative food products. Ultimately, without sending anyone to prison, this investigation could strengthen the food sector. And in the meantime, we will almost certainly find rebates in bakery sections as grocers rush to reassure consumers that a bread cartel in Canada is nothing more than a myth.

It was a full-fledged conscription crisis One hundred years ago, in October/November 1917, the Canadian Corps was enmeshed in the horrific Battle of Passchendaele. While the Canadians ultimately won a victory at Passchendaele, it came at an enormous cost. There were 15,654 casualties including 20 young men from Central Alberta who were killed in action. Moreover, Passchendaele was considered a victory only because the small Belgian village of that name was captured. In the larger context of the war, very little was actually accomplished. The front was only moved forward some 9.5 km (six miles). Nothing of true strategic importance was captured. Sir Winston Churchill later summed up the battle as a, “Forlorn expenditure of valour and life without equal in futility.” Passchendaele was the third of the Canadian victories in battle in 1917. The first was the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April. In that great assault, the Canadians managed to capture a highly strategic ridge on the edge of the broad plains of Northern France and Belgium. Vimy Ridge earned the Canadians the reputation of being amongst the very best assault troops on the Western Front – soldiers with enormous fighting ability and courage. Hence, the Allied High Command increasingly turned to the Canadians to tackle incredibly difficult objectives. The second Canadian victory came in August at Hill 70, the high ground above the French city of Lens. Again, Canadians demonstrated enormous courage and ability in battle. However, just as victory at Vimy Ridge came at a cost of 10,600 casualties, victory at Hill 70 cost the Canadians
9,200 casualties. These losses were staggering for a small country such as Canada. Recruitment of new troops had already become a problem after the bloodbath of the Battle of the Somme in the summer and fall of 1916. By 1917, there was even a shortage of teenagers, older men and those previously deemed to be medically unfit for service. The tremendous losses at Vimy Ridge, Hill 70 and now Passchendaele turned the situation into a full-fledged crisis. The Canadian government had already announced in May 1917 that compulsory military service (conscription) would have to be introduced. Even with the strong public feeling the war must be won, if for no other reason than to justify the enormous losses and sacrifices already made, conscription became an explosive political issue. Farmers wondered who would plant and harvest the crops if they and/ or their remaining sons were forced to go off and fight in the war. Many other essential services faced severe labour shortages. The Conservative Government of Sir Robert Borden went to extraordinary efforts to win support for conscription. Many opposition Liberal M.P.’s, including Dr. Michael Clark of Red Deer, were convinced to join a pro-conscription Unionist coalition. The franchise was extended to women, but initially only to those who had family already overseas and were therefore more likely to back conscription. Finally, farmers were promised that all those actively involved in food production would not be conscripted. Despite, all the heated debate, in the election in December 1917, the Unionist Government
and Dr. Clark were handily re-elected and their platform of conscription approved. Nevertheless, the election provided proof of widespread opposition to conscription, primarily in the province of Quebec, but in other parts of the country as well. There were a number of polls in the federal constituency of Red Deer that voted for Dr. Clark’s non-Unionist Liberal opponent, William Puffer. Conscription failed to provide enough new troops to fill the escalating shortages of front-
line soldiers overseas. The promised exemption to farmers was soon broken. A bitter backlash quickly ensued. In a provincial by-election in Red Deer in 1918, the Unionist candidate, F.W. Galbraith was so badly beaten by his Liberal opponent, J.J. Gaetz, that he lost his deposit. In the 1921 federal election, the Unionist government finished a poor third behind the Liberals and the new western-based Progressive Party. In Red Deer, Alfred Speakman of the Progressives won by a large margin.

Graham told Frank that he was going to be having a bail hearing in Red Deer and asked Frank if he knew what that meant. “I understand the gravity of what is going on,” said Frank. Graham also explained what events had led the police to this point. “(This investigation) has cost a lot and taken a lot of time. There has been no stone left unturned.” Graham let Frank know that investigators recovered a handgun. “Oh really? Nice,” Frank replied. Graham said officials had classified the investigation as a shooting homicide, adding a bullet found in the dog that was shot on the Klaus farm matched the handgun recovered.

This process improves your collagen strength, function, and makes it more resistant to free radical damage. And research shows that the collagen peptides will actually stimulate your cells to increase collagen production. So when you take collagen, your body actually begins to manufacture more collagen, helping to reduce and reverse wrinkling and skinaging! Because collagen is such a vital protein, it also helps ease joint pain and increase bone density. Naka Pro Extra

A range of one-act plays at Central Alberta Theatre BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com
Central Alberta Theatre is gearing up to stage four diverse one-act plays. From Nov. 9th to the 12th, CAT and the Writers Ink Workshop Theatre will be showcasing the productions. The four scripts were written by Red Deer’s Writers’ Ink members during a script writing workshop. “Writers’ Ink took it upon themselves to have a number of their writers take a workshop with Gordon Pengilly out of Calgary. He has written a number of plays and he decided to teach them how to write a one-act play,” said Craig Scott, president of CAT. The plays will be presented over two nights, with two taking place each night. Scott said of the many in Writers’ Ink, four of them decided to write a one-act play, including himself who wrote what he calls a ‘curtain opener’, as it’s a very short one compared to the rest. “Four of them are being produced and directed, and it’s the first time they’re ever being done,” he said. He added that it’s a chance for the audience to see what the performances are like, and also a chance for them to workshop their plays, as it’s the playwright’s first time ever writing one, which, he said, is what workshop theatre is all about, workshopping a play to see if you can make it work. The one-act performances are anywhere from 35 minutes to 50 minutes in duration. “So they’re not as short as you think they are,” said Scott, adding that his is an eight minute play. All performances will take place at Nickle Studio, which is the third floor at the CAT Studios at 4215 58th St. Taking part in the one-acts is a brand new director by the name of Brendan Kearney, who will be directing two of them. Directed by Scott, the first play is titled Saving Grace by
ON STAGE - Michael Leek and Rachel Wilkes act out a part in The Love Lottery. Central Alberta Theatre and the Writers’ Ink Workshop Theatre will be showing four one-act plays Nov. 9th to Nov. 12th. photo submitted Richard McIntyre. The play is about two sisters who have a dark secret. One sister is living on the street and gets an invite from her well-to-do sister who has a secret that she has kept hidden for years to the detriment to all. Directed by Kearney, another play being shown is titled Going Postal by Mary O’Neill. The play is a romantic comedy about a woman who is about to remarry
for the second time and gets stuck in a post office, only to be gawked and talked about by the town, including her old flame. Also directed by Kearney is a play called The Love Lottery by Lyle Meeres. Meeres wrote the play about a Canada Revenue agent who loses his phone only to have it recovered by a beautiful stranger who returns it in an unusual way. The question is should he get involved with
her and why does she act the way she does? The last play, titled The Keepers by Danielle Lee, is directed again by Scott, and is a play which he calls an ‘Amish to Halloween’. The play is about a young woman who inherits a house, its servants and all its contents from a woman whose funeral she attends during the depression, but they never actually met.
Scott said his play, which is based on a true story about his grandfather smuggling booze across the border back in the 1920s, might be shown depending on whether they find enough actors for it. He added that within the plays, there are about 10 to 15 new actors who are new to CAT. “We’ve got tons of amateur actors over actors who have not acted with CAT for quite some
time, so that is the cool thing about it,” he said. CAT Theatre is always looking for people to get involved, and not just in acting. They are always in need of stagehands, stage managers and sound and light people. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Black Knight Inn Ticket Centre or at the door.

Entertainment Guy Davis hits a Red Deer stage this month BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com
Blues musician Guy Davis will be heading out to Red Deer to perform songs off his album Kokomo Kidd, released two years ago. Music has been something that’s always been in Davis’ veins since he was a little boy. “I was always somewhat musical. I used to sit at the supper table, take the butter knife, hang it over the edge of the table, wham down on the handle and then slide the blade on the table, making the pitch change. I thought that was music and my parents probably just thought I was pretty annoying,� said Davis. He added that his parents were nice enough to send him to a summer camp back when he was eight where they specialized in folk music. “That’s where I first picked up a five string banjo and the first time I fooled around with a harmonica,� he said. And Kokomo Kidd wasn’t all Davis had
been working on. Since that album, there was one more produced by a fellow in Italy, who goes by the name of Fabrizio Poggi called Sonny & Brownie’s Last Train. The album paid tribute to Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, two musicians who travelled all over the world. “That came out earlier this year, and the concerts I’ll be doing out in Canada I think will probably be more closely represented by the Kokomo Kidd and that was mostly me and all that I do,� said Davis. Davis added that Sonny & Brownie’s Last Train is a musical love letter to the duo. “They played blues music, they played folk music and Fabrizio Poggi produced this CD of he and I doing songs that Sonny or Brownie either wrote or covered. It is our love letter to them,� he said. Davis said his inspiration is anything crazy, spontaneous or something that hits his nerves. “I’ve got stuff about the current president of the United States, I’ve got stuff about
moonshine, I’ve got songs whispered to me by dead people from 100 years ago, so I come armed with plenty to play,� he said, adding there are songs that aren’t yet recorded. Looking back at his career, Davis said one of the best moments for him was getting selected to play harmonica on the Broadway stage in New York City for the musical Finian’s Rainbow. “It was a revival of a musical from the 1940s, and the harmonica back then was played by Sonny Terry, and so back in 2009 I got invited to come take the part that Sonny had. That’s one of the proudest moments of my career.� Davis said he will continue writing and touring, and after visiting Canada, he will be going to the U.K. Into the New Year, he will be doing more touring in Europe. Davis will be performing at The Elks Lodge (6315 Horn St.) Nov. 10th. For ticket information, check out www. centralmusicfest.com.

The day was also a heartfelt day for Huyzer, as he looked back to the inspiration of how the gallery came to be, his mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom had passed away last year of pancreatic cancer. We sat together and discussed a lot of our hopes and dreams. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to shine, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to bring art to everyone and enjoy it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and she was very much a part of the gallery. She was the concept,â&#x20AC;? said Huyzer. He added when he looks at what his mother had set out for him, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown so much. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thankful for not only

Get the results you want by avoiding these workout mistakes It’s a common complaint and one of the main reasons people give up on exercise: a lack of results. And who can blame them? No one wants to pour their heart and soul into a workout routine that doesn’t live up to its promises. Television, magazines, and the Internet are full of weight loss advice and success stories, promises of quick weight loss that is guaranteed to last. You’ve followed the advice so why doesn’t it work for you? Before throwing in the towel and giving up on exercise all together, you may want to take a closer look at your overall fitness plan. There may be something missing or off balance. Read on to learn some of the most common reasons people don’t see the fitness results they hoped for. You make exercise a priority and get to the gym almost every day. That’s awesome! Unfortunately, dedicated workouts don’t always make up for the rest of the day you spend sitting around. Maybe you have a job that doesn’t require much movement then when you get home you’re exhausted and veg on the couch until bed.
In addition to your workouts each day, make it your ambition to stay active on and off throughout your entire day. This is what an active lifestyle is all about. Every hour, get up and walk around for a few minutes and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk on your lunch break. Choose the farthest parking spot. Wear a fitness tracker to motivate you to take more steps. You get the idea get moving and stay moving. Don’t over think this. An hour of exercise each day won’t make up for poor diet choices. Take a close look at your eating habits to see if you’re making any of the following mistakes: 1. You find yourself enjoying large portions or treats because you had a tough workout. It’s easy to overestimate the number of calories you burned on the treadmill. It’s all about burning calories, not just merely replacing them. 2. You’re overeating healthy foods. Nuts, whole
IS YOUR HOME READY FOR WINTER?

grains, avocados, and dark chocolate are all good for you, but only in moderation because of their high calorie content. 3. You’re stuck in the habit of worrying about grams of fat rather than number of calories. Pay close attention to how much added sugar you consume rather than how much fat. That’s what will get you. 4. You’re being misled by food labels that claim to be healthy because they’re ‘fat-free’ or ‘low in sodium’. In your quest to see results, avoid highly processed foods and focus on eating a diet high in fiber and protein. Many people experience a stall in weight loss because they do the same workout day in and day out. They jump on the treadmill and put in their half hour. While any exercise is better than none, it’s common to experience a plateau in weight loss as your body adjusts to its new norm. Avoid this pitfall by changing things up every

few weeks. Instead of your normal 20-minute jog, try a completely new type of exercise. Your muscles will have to work differently or harder to keep up and you’ll begin to see results again. Your workouts may be consistent, but if you’re not challenging yourself you may not see the results you hoped for. Weight loss and fitness gains take not only time but effort as well. Many people are unsure whether their workouts are tough enough. Here are a few ways to tell you’re at the right intensity: your breathing makes it difficult to carry on a conversation, you’re sweating a good amount, and your heart rate is reaching its target heart rate zone. If you notice these three things aren’t happening during your workouts, it’s time to increase the intensity. Did you know over-training could lead to lack of results? That’s right—training excessively can actually work against you. So, ask your trainer if you’re pushing it too hard too often and adjust accordingly. Jack Wheeler is a personal trainer and the owner of 360 Fitness in Red Deer.
Remove all garden hoses that may still be hooked up outside, shut off all taps to avoid freezing & potential damage. Check all of your smoke detectors & CO2 monitors to ensure they are in good working condition, change batteries & keep your family safe. While you are up on the roof installing Christmas lights, clean
those gutters! Rid them of leaves & debris and you will be ahead of the game next Spring. Winter is a fact of life here in Canada, if we take the steps to prepare our homes (and mentally prepare ourselves) it won’t be so bad!

Early Christmas shopping is coming early for Red Deerians, all to help support women’s education. The fourth annual Shop to Support P.E.O. Scholarships is taking place Nov. 11th at The Golden Circle. “This is our big fundraiser, we do smaller ones but this is a big open one to the public,” said Elaine Johnson, treasurer of Red Deer’s Chapter O.

The name of the overall organization is P.E.O. Scholarships, which began in the United States. Now there are chapters throughout the world, with several throughout the province of Alberta. “The money is all pooled and millions and millions of dollars are put out to young women throughout the world every year through our international board,” said Johnson. She said community support in Red Deer has been great, and that they usually raise around

Members of the public are welcome to come out to The Golden Circle between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. to shop to support a good cause. They can enjoy tea, coffee, homemade baking and more.

Lightning wins high school football city championship BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com
The Hunting Hills Lighting and Lacombe Composite Rams football teams met at MEGlobal Athletic Park on a snowy Saturday afternoon to decide Red Deer High School Football League supremacy. Both the Rams and Lightning came into the finals after handling Notre Dame and Lindsay Thurber respectively in the semi-finals last weekend. The Lighting would have the slight edge in the game after finishing first overall in the season—going undefeated throughout. The Lighting would show why they are the second-ranked high school football team in the province with a confident 34-11 win, that was never really in question. The first seeded Lightning would come in with
two extra days of rest, however it was Coach Jason Petrie’s second-seeded Rams who would find the scoreboard first when Lacombe punched home a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter. Kyle Sedgwick’s Lightning would have the answer however with a nifty fake punt that led to a 40-yard touchdown run by Zac Sanderson, leading to a 7-3 Lightning early lead. The Lightning would follow that up with a huge punt run return from Austin Schneider in the second quarter, followed by a 1-yard touchdown from quarterback Brandon Rees. Hunting Hills would try to tack on another three points on a field goal, however the boot came up short. The Lightning held the lead going into the second half 14-3. The third quarter would be a slug fest, with the scoreboard not moving until 2:51 left when Nathan Lavigne caught a 12-yard catch for the
Lightning’s third touchdown of the game. The Lightning would follow that up on the very next possesion when Rams quarterback Johnny Ericson bobbled the ball in the backfield leading Lavigne eventually recoving the ball in the endzone after a series of drops—leading to a commanding 27-3 Hunting Hills lead. The Lighting would start off the 4th quarter pinned deep by Lacombe, which eventually led to a conceded 2-points to the Rams, bring the score to 27-5 Hunting Hills. Lavigne would continue his stellar game with a 12-yard Lightning touchdown with 4:37 to play—extending the out-of-reach lead to 34-5. “It really seemed to happen for him in the third quarter,” Sedgwick said. “Lavigne has done that all year. He is a great player and won’t be denied when he gets close to the endzone.” “That last one was the nail in the coffin,”
Lavigne said. “It was a great day to be out here scoring touchdowns and winning football games.” Ericson would add a late inconsequential score late in the fourth, which lead to the final score of 34-11. “I saw guys work really hard. i saw the experience of our guys,” Sedgwick said. “Our preparation was great for a hard-fought, tough-conditions game. It was two teams that were top of the league and they play very hard, very physical. Our guys deserved to win” The Lightning will now go on to the first round of the provincial championships against St. Mary’s High School out of Calgary. “We got to get healthy and we have to prepare in the cold the best we can,” Sedgwick said about provincials. “The thing about provincials is that you have to learn a team you don’t know a lot about and you got to learn them fast.”

Sports Kings lose first game of back to back against MacEwan Griffins BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com
The Red Deer College Kings hockey came into their Friday night matchup against the MacEwan University Griffins sitting with a decent record of 4-2 to start their season. The first period, however, did not look like a team that had one their previous two games. Luckily for the Kings, their neighbor to the north was unable to capitalize on the chances given up by RDC.
It would be the kings that would draw first blood with only four seconds left in the first from when Dylan Thudium notched his 6th of the season on the powerplay. The Kings would go into the second period up 1-0 despite only have six shots on net compared to 13 put up by the Griffins. The Kings were unable to capitalize on the momentum, as MacEwan forward Brett Smythe managed to beat RDC goaltender Nathan Alalouf within the first minute of the second period. The Griffins would follow that up when

St. Josephs High School looking into new baseball academy BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com
St. Josephs High School is looking to carve out its athletic niche with a one of a kind baseball academy in Red Deer. “As a new school community, we are excited about the possibility of being able to offer a baseball academy that would be a benefit for our students,” Vice Principal Teresa Borchers said. “We believe there is a need and a desire for a baseball academy in Central Alberta and we would love to be part of that endeavour.” The school is hopeful, after earning initial approval from the Red Deer Catholic School Board, that the new academy can begin operations as early as next September. “We are moving forward with the next steps,” Borchers said. “We are hoping to have a parent information session at the end of January to provide information to parents who may be interested in having their child part of this
experience.” Borchers said interest in this project stemmed from a desire in the community. St. Josephs also has the luxury of their large field house, which can accommodate baseball training out of season. “We have many students and children within the City of Red Deer and surrounding communities who love baseball,” she said. “They would love the opportunity to continue to develop their skill level and enhance their love of the game. This would give them the opportunity to play year-round and not just in the spring, summer and a little in the fall.” With approval, the school can now focus on what they want to offer at their academy in order to suit the needs of the community. “We have a few different models after looking at models across the province,” Borchers said. “We are trying to find a model that best suits our needs as a school community, as well as the students and families in Red Deer.”
With two high Catholic high schools in Red Deer, baseball athletes would have the opportunity to choose to go to St. Josephs regardless if their feeder school goes to Notre Dame High School. “We would welcome any student who is interested in playing baseball,” she said. Borchers said they are also looking at forging partnerships with Red Deer Minor Baseball and the Red Deer Rage softball clubs “We are thinking about baseball for boys and softball for girls,” she said. “It is a possibility that both of those organizations could be part of this journey and we have reached out to Baseball Alberta to gather insight.” Currently there are no baseball diamonds at St. Josephs, so outdoor play would have to be through partnerships until diamonds are built on campus. Athlete development at the academy would be based on guidelines set down from Baseball Canada.

Look outside - ready or not, winter is here Nov. 1st hits and we have full fledged winter unleashed! It’s almost like nature was waiting for the calendar to change so it could show us what it is made of and to remind us that we have had a beautiful fall and now it’s time for us to bow to the howling winds and blowing snow. I’ve heard people today holding every opinion from wanting to go out and make snow angels to the grumblers (me) who wish they could have stayed home in their jammies and slippers today. Anyone not yet get winter tires put on their vehicle? Guilty. Distracted and charmed by the warm weather I thought I had time, I banked on winter being a gradual introduction instead of a full-on assault. So now I’m waiting in line with all the other procrastinators as my tires get changed. Preparedness is the key to saving time and money when it comes to the facts of life and there is no truer representation than in the area of home maintenance. Most people wait until the furnace dies on a cold night before they must call an emergency heating guy (usually on a
weekend). This makes for panic, cold and expensive after-hours emergency wages where a maintenance call in fall for the furnace guy to come and check, clean and examine your furnace would be a much calmer, less expensive appointment to make. It’s something we never think of while our furnace is not running and yet it is very important to have our HVAC systems in running order before we have to rely on them every day. Anything that may need to come out of or off the ground should be done by now! This includes decorative hangers, trellis panels, fire pit covers, garden hoses, rakes and brooms. I’m sure we have all done this at least once and then had to replace the frozen item that we couldn’t free from it’s icy prison. The worst part of selling real estate is getting the darn signs in and out of the ground in winter time and we have all had that item stuck fast in our yard that we have forgotten to put away. There have been so many years that I have scrambled for gloves and boots and my snowbrush on that first big snowfall that I now
keep them in an emergency kit in my car. Boots, coat, gloves, socks and extra gear for the time that I may be stranded and may need to walk. My work footware is never conducive to walking a very long distance – I’m more of a style girl. The snowbrush
dilemma is age old and we have all had those times when we just can’t find it or someone has borrowed it because they can’t find theirs! Frustrating and unnecessary, keep an extra one hidden that you alone know where it is because you will be
the poor person having to scrape windshields when no one else is around. So buckle in Alberta, here we go! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, they tell me (insert eye roll emoji here) and it is a winter wonderland. Ok, be
that way, if you need me I’ll be curled up in front of something warm dreaming of a trip to the Caribbean. Kim Wyse is a Central Alberta freelance designer. Find her on facebook at ‘Ask a Realtor/Ask a Designer’.

What to do when you cannot pay your mortgage So the reality is that life happens and we can become unable to meet our obligations. This week and next we are going to take a closer look at this situation to develop strategies to get you through as painlessly as possible. This week will we will start with those who have mortgage default insurance. There are three mortgage default insurance providers in Canada; CMHC, Genworth and Canada Guaranty. If you put less than 20% down on your mortgage you will have paid one of these three to insure your loan in case of default. The mortgage lender is the beneficiary of this insurance
as they have an assurance that in the case you default, they will not incur any losses. If you find yourself unable to make the mortgage payment the first step is to get into contact with your mortgage provider. Write down what has happened, be able and willing to provide a list of assets and liabilities, and explain what steps you have taken on your end to meet the obligation. Tell them of the expected timeline to catch up. For example, you have lost your job but start another in two weeks. Be proactive and do not ignore their phone calls. If you are unable to come to terms
Pam Pikkert
with the mortgage provider you can opt to contact the insurer to intervene on your behalf. Each of the three has a direct line for consumers. There are many options they have available for you. Their goal is to avoid the expensive foreclosure process. No one want to see you lose your home, that I can promise. Here is a list of the ways they can help in the short term. 1. Your variable rate mortgage can be converted into a fixed rate to re-establish the amortization schedule 2. If you have prepaid the mortgage you may be able to reborrow those funds. 3. Deferring mortgage payments up to four months. If your troubles are of a more longterm type:
1. Extended mortgage payment deferral if you need more than four months. 2. Extension of amortization period to a maximum of 40 years to decrease the payments. 3. Special payments arrangements as long as they are reasonable may be negotiated. 4. The bank has the ability to approve a capitalization of up to $20,000 to cover past due principal, property taxes, interest, condo fees, utilities and property repair. If your situation is more complex: 1. Combination of any of the above. 2. Interest only period which brings the payments within affordability If all the above will not mitigate the circumstances and foreclosure is unavoidable:
1. Sale by borrower – You agree to stay in the home and maintain it to get the best price. The home is sold and the bank repaid. You will be expected to continue with some payments during this time. Involve the bank and the default insurer as soon as you can. Early and well-planned analysis of the situation, with financial assistance, can in the majority of cases remedy the default problems. This is also the best way to preserve your credit and future borrowing ability. Life can happen, we will get through it together. Call your mortgage professional today for more info.

Volunteer Laura Edinga has been working with the Communications Committee of the Red Deer Arts Council for over two ‘very intense’ years. Alongside other Council members, her expertise helped guide the development of a survey for Council members to gather information necessary to develop a communications plan. She was also involved in helping the Communications Committee pull together details needed for a new website. She designed the Request for Submissions: Website Rebuild/Redesign that was submitted in November of 2016. A lot of work went into developing the call, and Laura was instrumental in helping the Committee work through that process. As a volunteer, Laura continued to help the
Coordinator develop the arts directory format this is designed to assist people in finding artists or arts organizations. In 2017, she has volunteered over 52 hours and the year isn’t finished yet! She also has the ability to help the staff learn a new website format. This delightful young woman has used her knowledge in other ways, as well. She is working on a series of workshops designed to help our members learn more about how to deal with websites and photo editing for websites. Although she is a fairly new member of the Red Deer Arts Council, her volunteer work has helped push the Arts Council into 21st century technology! We are very grateful for her time and effort.
