Challenging healing journey continues for City woman Brenda Schultz works on recovery after devastating fall last year

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express

R

ed Deer resident Brenda Schultz has been on an incredibly challenging road to recovery since an injury abruptly altered her life last fall.

Schultz, 38, an educational assistant at Grandview School in Red Deer and single mother of two boys, was out for a run in early September, making her way through Kin Kanyon in the early evening.

Little did she know that just hours later, she would experience severe injuries leaving her unable to walk. She had been visiting a friend in the country.

It was dark out, and she fell off their deck 15 ft. and shattered her spine in four places and damaged her spinal cord.

Surgery at the University of Alberta was followed by a short stay in Red Deer before being transported to the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary for extensive rounds of rehabilitation. Fortunately, her spinal cord wasn’t severed but she is in a wheel chair.

She held a fundraiser last fall to help cover the soaring costs of treatment, which of late have included a six-week stint at Project Walk near San Diego, California.

“It’s intense therapy,” she explains. “Their focus is to tap into your nervous system and help you regain the muscle that you’ve lost.” She spent hours being trained in various exercises with the goal of re-teaching her brain in a different way.

Gait training exercises included walking on a treadmill while being supported in a harness, so Schultz could experience the mechanics of walking while simultaneously building muscle. “It holds me up while I walk, so the idea is to simulate walking,” she explains. “It reminds the brain that this is what the legs do – one foot in front of the other.”

These days, she spends part of the week at a spinal cord facility in Calgary called Syn.ap.tic while maintaining a therapy routine in Red Deer as well.

Rehabilitation is clearly a challenge on virtually every level, but Schultz is up for the fight to get

better. It’s of course a demanding pace, balancing her time between Calgary and Red Deer while also being a mom to her sons as well.

But ultimately, she is determined to be free of her wheel chair. “This chair is not an option for me. That’s my motto – it’s not an option.

“It’s slow and it’s going to be a really, really long road, and it’s expensive but I’m noticing the changes and the progress. I am getting stronger.”

She can now pull herself to a standing position and walk with a walker. “I’ve got a death grip on the walker, but I’m walking with it.

“The other day I also posted on facebook something that is a huge thing for me – I was able to pull myself to a standing position, kind of lean on the counter and I filled the pepper shaker.

That was amazing to me; it was a huge deal because back when I was in the hospital I didn’t know what tomorrow was going to look like. I didn’t know what was going to happen.”

Meanwhile, she has also launched another fundraiser, selling wristbands to help pay for the massive bills she faces each month for this rehab. But funds are running short and she is relying on folks to continue to help her out. There is also an ATB Financial Trust called ‘Brenda Schultz in Trust’ to help cover costs for her and her children.

She will also be away from work for an unknown period of time and needs specific medical care and equipment for the foreseeable future.

“I’ve got my eye on the prize, and the prize is walking. I don’t know what it will look like – how fast or how slow. I may not be skiing again, or riding my bike like the wind like I did before. But I don’t want this chair anymore, and I know there is a way out of it – to get stronger. It’s going to take a long time, but I’m stubborn. I’m not somebody who gives up or says ‘I can’t find a way’.

“Everything does take longer now. It’s trickier, and I have to think about how I’m going to do it.

I have to manage my time, there’s bathroom issues and sleeping is-

MOVING FORWARD - Red Deer resident Brenda Schultz has been working hard on her recovery following a photo submitted devastating injury last year. Her goal is to eventually regain her active lifestyle. sues. But on a positive note, I look at how many people have helped me.”

The love, compassion and help she continues to receive is touching. “Whether people are giving time, money, banana bread or supper, a hug or a phone call – I knew I had good friends and fam-

ily, but to see perfect strangers do something for someone they don’t know has impressed me, too.

“For me, the hardest thing everyday is the constant battle is to not let the dark side in. I could probably cry all day, or be sad all day or feel sorry for myself.

I think that’s when you lose and

you give up. But my kids, family and friends matter too much.”

Red Deerians celebrate 100 years at North Cottage School

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express School officials, members of the community and past and present students attended a celebration which commemorated the 100th anniversary of the North Cottage School last week.

Today North Cottage School, located in Riverside Meadows at 5704 60 St. is used as an alternative school for high school students.

The school was built in 1912 after a contract for a tworoomed cottage school was let to Baird and McKenzie on a bid of $3,925.

Shirley Hocken, who attended North Cottage School in 1949 when she was in Grades 1-2 said the anniversary celebration is especially meaningful.

“I had to walk down to the school. There was no bus service and I had to get here by either my parents or by walking.

“The fact that the school still exists is really a neat thing. And for me to come back here is great. There are many people that have come and stopped and looked at the school who have attended here,” said Hocken.

“It is a provincial heritage site and it’s great that the

school exists and it is being used as a school and that goes to show that even though it’s 100 years old it can be used as the original purpose.

“It’s gone from being a Grade 1 to Grade 9 school when it first opened to being just a minor elementary school, then it was used as an overflow school then we used it to have bingos and other functions. It was then closed up and used for storage.

“Our community said we needed it to be restored to its heritage status.”

Around the same time the school was built in 1912, a row of spruce trees were also planted along the street in front of the school.

Today, those trees remain as well.

As part of the 100th anniversary celebration last week students planted an apple tree on the site.

In addition, Chad Erickson, who has been the principal at North Cottage School for three years, said staff and students who attend the school feel like they are part of a family.

“The students have been a big part of the celebration.

We had a number of them come back to the school to help with the celebration. It comes back to the fact that the tree planting is a symbol of the family,” said Erickson adding about 24 students register at the school each year.

“North Cottage School is about being family and community-minded.

“Every student that comes through this school has a feeling that they are a part of something here. There is that sense of belonging that maybe they didn’t have at another mainstream high school.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Do you suffer with Back or Neck Pain?...There is help!

FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS:

I

f you ou or a loved one suffers from back and neck pain caused by herniated erniated or bulging discs, facet syndrome, degenerative disc disease, spinal di i l stenosis, i pinched i h d nerves andd other h spinal i l afflictions. Spinal Care Canada has a nonsurgical and drug-free answer for disc related syndromes of the lumbar or cervical spine. Many people across the country have found relief from the pain associated with these spinal conditions. Spinal Care Canada uses computeraided technology to apply gentle, nonsurgical decompression to your spine, increasing circulation into the spinal discs and joints, thus helping to relieve the symptoms that cause pain.

How soon will I see results?

Many patients experience a significant reduction in pain early in the treatment program, however, every patient will respond differently and it is important to complete all the recommended treatments to achieve maximum healing.

Can I still go to work?

Yes! Many patients get treatments before work, after work or during their lunch break.

Is the treatment painful?

Not at all. Your treatment sessions are comfortable and relaxing.

Spinal Care Canada uses a three stage protocol; Spinal Decompression, Whole Body vibration, and Laser Therapy.

With this three stage protocol Spinal Care Canada is able to address more then just pain relief, it is able to address the muscles, tendons, verterbal bodies, joints, disc, and inflamtion.

This allows Spinal Care Canada to aim towards a corrective approach. The spinal discs have no blood supply of their own; UNLIKE muscles, bones and internal organs that get a fresh supply of blood, oxygen and nutrients with every beat from the heart. Spinal discs absorb what they need very slowly from the surrounding area. If they become compressed from an injury, the effects of age, a sedentary lifestyle, genetics or any other reason, they will stay compressed causing pain. While the spinal discs are compressed they cannot heal, they cannot expand nor absorb the healing nutrients required for a healthy spine. Spinal Care Canada Decompression Solution is effective because the computer monitored pulling action can act to expand the discs, which in turn floods the discs with water, oxygen and nutrients.

This helps to foster an improved healing response and allows the discs to heal themselves. Simply put less compression equals more nutrients being absorbed by the disc tissue. It’s like opening the floodgates for your spine! Spinal Care Canada Decompression Solution can help turn back the clock and regain the cushioning function that the discs once had!

HOW DOES WHOLE BODY VIBRATION AFFECT THE BODY? Like aerobic and anaerobic exercise, wholebody vibration increases physical strength, dexterity and endurance. Heightened circulation increases absorption of oxygen while mechanical oscillations create tendon stretch reflexes to stimulate involuntary muscle contractions throughout the body. The vibration action promotes the production of hormones responsible for regeneration and repair, improves blood circulation to the skin and muscles, improves bone density and bone strength, enhances motor control and balance, brings relief caused by chronic pain, increases lymph drainage and basal metabolic rate.

These result in more strength, more speed, more stamina, rapid recovery of muscles and tissue, increased flexibility, increased mobility and increased coordination; enhancing Spinal Decompression Therapy treatments.

Will this treatment be eligible for income tax credit?

Yes, Spinal Decompression Therapy is eligible for medical tax credit because Spinal Care Canada Centers employ authorized medical practitioners. Please discuss with your income tax preparer.

How do I get started?

HOW DOES LASER AFFECT THE BODY?

Laser Therapy transmits light through the layers of the skin. It provides an immunosuppressive and anti inflammatory effect.

The major benefit of this low level laser is PAIN RELIEF! The anti inflammatory component promotes the reduction of tissue swelling.

Some of the many advantages of Laser Therapy include: • muscle relaxation; • improved blood circulation • increased anti-inflammatory effects; • increased serotonin and endorphins; • increases lymphatic flow.

Why should I consider Spinal Care Canada before surgery?

Considering a non-surgical treatment will give you the opportunity to see if avoiding surgery is at all possible. Spinal Decompression Therapy provided at Spinal Care Canada Pain Centers is not going to cause you to miss weeks or months of time from family, friends and work. Surgery should be your last option.

People are traveling from all the different regions in the Province to attend treatments at Spinal Care Canada Pain Centers and these patients are attaining results where other treatments and/or medications have failed. Many individuals have avoided invasive surgeries and are now living a better quality of life.

Our Rates At Spinal Care Canada Pain Centers the cost per treatment is $100.00 (which also includes the cost of Laser Therapy and Whole Body Vibration Therapy, if needed). When you compare that to other clinics the cost can range from $150.00 to $250.00 per treatment and some of these clinics require prepayment upfront ranging from $3,000.00 - $5,000.00.

If a patient cannot afford f treatment, we will work with them to receive care they need. At Spinal Care Canada Pain Centers, our patients care come first.

There is no prepayment required for treatment, you pay PER treatment

“I’ve suffered from lower back pain on and off for many years and was able to obtain only temporary relief. Six years ago, I suffered from sciatic pain for four months straight before it finally subsided.

Last fall, I was again stricken with sciatic pain which did not relent. Pain killers were my only relief but then my stomach suffered. After eight months of continuous suffering and being unable to walk, I read about Spinal Decompression and Dr. Paul Mutti’s clinic.

I immediately went to see him along with a copy of my latest CT scan and X-rays. He was honest and straightforward; “You are a candidate for Spinal Decompression and after three to five treatments you can decide for yourself if it is helping you.” f jjust ffour treatments myy ppain We started that dayy and after y After two more r treatments r I was had subsided noticeably. r comfortably and lay on my back (which I able to sit more was unable to do all winter).

Create, celebrate and commemorate – these are the goals of Red Deer’s Centennial Committee as members put together a number of events to be held in 2013.

Featured events include a centennial kick-off at Bower Ponds on New Year’s Eve, the planting of the Centennial Grove, a Homecoming Weekend in June and a special project called the River of Light.

The goal of this project, which will take place during Red Deer’s centennial year, is to celebrate and honour the river as one of the defining features of the community.

This exciting large-scale event will be modelled after the “River of Light” staged in Calgary on the Bow River in 2010, however, this event will be tailored specifically to reflect Red Deer’s unique community, officials say.

“Our community began on the river, at Fort Normandeau, and developed along the river. I’m so pleased to work with this group that understands the importance of the river to our community,” said Sheila Bannerman, chair of the Centennial Committee.

“The idea is to use the river as a context for doing a show,” said Laurent Louyer, founder and creative director of Creatmosphere.

Creatmosphere is a cross-genre artistic

studio that focuses on the exploration of light and its interplay with art, architecture and space. Creatmosphere, based out of London, England, is the company heading the River of Light project.

According to Louyer each project they complete is site specific so his team needs to get a good understanding of not only the city, but the river as well. This is what prompted their visit to Alberta this past week.

They need to figure out the logistics before they can put a plan together. Things such as power and infrastructure need to be considered before the ideas for the project can come to life. “The City is our canvas. “We work with the environment, we work with rivers and trees, we work with buildings and the cities,” said Louyer.

The event has zero environmental impact and all the data coming from the river analysis, both environmental and cultural, will be available for ongoing use by youth groups, schools and other interested parties. The event stands to take place June 30, 2013. The River of Light preparations should start eight days before the event with a globe installation at a pond.

This weeklong installation involves the globes changing colour every 15 minutes with the colours representing the composition of the water during each of the four seasons. treid@reddeerexpress.com

Man charged with firstdegree murder out on bail

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express The man charged with first-degree murder in the death of an Innisfail woman was granted bail last week.

Brian Malley, 55, was released on $10,000 bail and ordered to live with his wife and mother-in-law in Edmonton.

He is charged with first-degree murder, causing an explosion of an explosive substance likely to cause serious bodily harm, death or serious damage to property and sending or delivering to a person an explosive device.

Malley appeared in an Edmonton court on Thursday for a bail hearing.

The explosion occurred inside Victoria Shachtay’s residence on Nov. 25th in Innisfail.

The incident occurred after a package was delivered to the residence which RCMP confirmed was the source of the explosion.

Malley was arrested in Red Deer on May 25th.

Shachtay, 23, was disabled and in a wheel chair from a car collision. She was also a single mother to a seven-year-old girl.

RCMP have confirmed Malley, who had worked as a municipal police officer in Alberta about 30 years ago, had known Shachtay for a number of years and acted as her financial adviser.

However, police would not confirm that

money was the motive behind Shachtay’s murder.

The six-month investigation into her death was led by the ‘K’ Division Serious Crimes Branch which is responsible for homicide investigations in Alberta RCMP jurisdictions.

The investigation also involved support of the local RCMP detachment and many other support units, including the RCMP’s Post- Blast National Response Team, Explosive Disposal and Technology Section, Tech Crimes, Special Tactical Operations, Criminal Analysis Section, Special ‘I’ Surveillance Units and Forensic Labs in Edmonton and Ottawa.

At its peak, the investigation involved more than 70 investigators who worked thousands of hours to gather and examine evidence related to the murder.

“Investigations like this one are challenging, largely because of the complexity and the coordinated effort which is so critical,” Insp. Garrett Woolsey, operations officer with the Serious Crimes Branch told media at a press conference held in May, adding in his 24-year experience he has never seen a crime like this.

“In this case, assistance from support and specialized units was significant.

These arrests come as a result of that help and the relentless determination of our investigators to find those responsible for Victoria Shachtay’s death.”

It’s time for you

to go!

Goodbye clutter.

OPINION City’s bid good move Red Deer City council’s recent vote to make a bid to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games is welcome news.

Council was told the bid process would take place over the course of three phases.

Phase one would include an evaluation of community capacity based on facility requirements and preliminary information about the City’s current and future capacity related to games events and facility needs.

The Canada Games are an interprovincial and territorial sports festival staged every two years, alternating between summer and winter games.

Since the Canada Games were introduced in 1967, more than 100,000 participants in over 40 sports have been involved as athletes, coaches or officials and more than 75,000 volunteers have dedicated their time to staging the event.

The City of Red Deer’s last bid on the Canada Winter Games in 1995 and it was lost to Grande Prairie.

It’s high time to try again. City officials are confident that this is Red Deer’s time to shine.

First of all, this is an ideal chance for the City to update facilities and develop new ones. It’s also tremendous for the economy and an opportunity for officials to show off the

City and Central Alberta in general.

Red Deer is a very welcoming community and there is no doubt visitors will be given top-notch treatment during their time here. Also, this wouldn’t be the first time the City has hosted a high-profile event that is similar in nature.

The Alberta Winter Games was held here in 1998, and the Alberta Summer Games were hosted in 2006.

Both required extensive planning and volunteer coordination to name just a couple of aspects. In both instances, Red Deerians did a fine job of putting together both events.

If the City is granted the opportunity to play host, there is no doubt the volunteer sector will step up to the plate enthusiastically. Our community has a wonderful volunteer base which is always eager to get involved – no matter how many responsibilities there are to be covered. Those involved in past events have pointed out how impressive it was to see citizens with strong leadership capabilities step up and help out time and again.

Meanwhile, Red Deer has a solid chance of landing the event. Local officials point out that other cities in Alberta will make bids to host the Canada Winter Games as well but they have typically been hosted in smaller centres in the past.

Welcoming new Canadians always a meaningful experience It’s something the vast majority of us in Canada take so very much for granted – our tremendously valuable Canadian citizenship. Years pass by and many don’t even think about it, and really consider what it means.

There are occasional reminders – those moments when you are watching the news and see a horrible conflict on the other side of the globe and say under your breath – “Thank goodness I live in Canada.”

And of course, just having celebrated Canada Day a few days ago, we get a bit caught up in a national but all too brief whirlwind of patriotism while sampling too many delicious foods at Bower Ponds and later on dreamily watching the fireworks light up the sky.

WEBER Other than that, are we really grateful to be living in this country of ours?

Last week, I saw 50 people take the oath of Canadian citizenship here in Red Deer at Festival Hall.

There’s something really special about those moments when folks from all over the world receive Canadian citizenship and all the privileges, rights and freedoms that come with it.

I was reminded how Canada is truly a wonderful

country to live in.

Of course, even in a civilized, prosperous and caring society there are plenty of imperfections, but overall, it struck me once again how very blessed I was to have been born here.

The rights, freedoms and privileges that are brand new to many new citizens, like those who made that exciting step last week, have been mine all along.

I’m a bit ashamed to say that I don’t think about that very much.

Another highlight of the ceremony was that once members of that group had been formally welcomed and congratulated by local dignitaries, they then walked through a small group of young local students who offered their happy congratulations as

well. It was good to see this connection between young Canadians and ‘brand new’ Canadians – an inspirational moment to both groups I would imagine.

The ceremony was also timely in the sense that it was so close to Canada Day. I wondered how these people would feel celebrating with the community on July 1 – their very first Canada Day as Canadian citizens. For those who have come from desperate circumstances, or who may have experienced hardships in other parts of the world, the meaning of that day must have been particularly poignant.

There have been a few events of late that have driven this ‘gratitude’ theme personally home that much further lately.

The Red Deer Express is a proud newspaper of

Recently, an event was held in the City called Refugee in the City. Attracting more than 500 students and members of the public, the event was organized by the Central Alberta Refugee Effort, Catholic Social Services, the Canadian Red Cross and the Central Alberta AIDS Network Society.

The goal?

Stimulate conversation and bolster awareness about the plight of refugees around the world. According to the UN Refugee Agency, every minute eight people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. Millions of people around the world could fit into the category of being refugees.

Questions like ‘will I be safe’, ‘what will I eat and how do I find water’, ‘can I

get medical care and where will I live’ were at the centre of the many discussions. This year marked the third Refugee in the City event, and as I watched the citizenship ceremony I considered what a powerful moment it must be for anyone new to Canada who may have known hopeless times elsewhere in the past and wondered if they would ever know a brighter future.

Calling Canada home has been a given for most of us, and it’s a gift we should be thankful for every single day.

To a new immigrant, particularly if they are leaving behind a life of turmoil and struggle and constant challenge, it must be a nearly unimaginable blessing. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Letters to the editor

Reader supports banning of ‘dangerous dogs’ in City On the evening of June 19th, I was attacked by a mad pit-bull/mongrel. Animal Services says an attack must include biting. I say that emotional trauma is an attack. At any rate, the owner, if I can find him, may be charged for an act of aggression at least. That’s a wee bit of good news.

Imagine sitting in a car with the window rolled down, and a 140-pound beast with a head on it like a bear suddenly lunges at your head and is prevented by an inch from getting into the car to maul you to death!

Then imagine the owner just continuing to walk his dog as if nothing happened!

CitySpeak This week, Express reporter Erin Fawcett has asked Councillor Paul Harris questions regarding City council’s decision to move forward with a bid for the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

PAUL

HARRIS

How did council come to the decision to put in a bid for the 2019 Canada Winter Games?

“Once again the community is coming together to bring outstanding opportunity to Red Deer. Visionary leaders have invited the City to consider hosting the 2019 Canada Winter Games and council approved funds to begin developing a bid,” said Harris. “This opportunity creates a great chance to showcase Red Deer, celebrate its diverse people, improve its facilities and amenities, while at the same time promoting new economic activity and business growth.”

He added it will take careful and thoughtful planning by everyone, community volunteers, the City administration, and City council to be able to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

“The economic and social benefits for Red Deer and its citizens are tremendous.

Imagine what could be done before the actual event is hosted,” said Harris. “As part of the work we will review and upgrade a number of our recreation facilities to meet the standards required for the games. When we are successful in our bid, funds will be made available through the federal and provincial governments to assist us with creating and upgrading the spaces which will hold the events and associated community gatherings.

“This helps our tax dollars go further and brings our future plans closer. The requirements fit well with the current development plans.”

He added the area redevelopment of much of Riverlands, which connects the downtown to the river’s edge, will be underway and perhaps even completed.

“I imagine the year round public market will be opened on the old bus barns site.

New residential and commercial space will be active and alive which will help to improve Red Deer as tourism destination. With some good fortune and planning we may even have that long envisioned pedestrian bridge to Bower Ponds in place,” said Harris. “The completed pedestrian connection across Taylor Drive at Alexander Way will link many of our sports and recreation facilities in Bower Ponds, via the bridge, with the City centre and trail systems.

He added visitors will be able to experience the growing international district in the downtown, including great restaurants, culture, theatre, and retail as they make way to the Recreation Centre in Rotary Recreation Park.

“I’m hopeful that this opportunity will create momentum for a 50 metre pool, which could be used both for the synchronized swimming event of the games and future swim meets,” said Harris.

With every major sporting event comes celebrations which entertain and showcase our community in all of its diversity.

“The arts and culture community is always there, hand-in-hand, with our sports community in providing an atmosphere of pride and enthusiasm. It no doubt will add an additional element to the event that will be welcomed and appreciated,” said Harris.

How could the Canada Winter Games boost the City’s economy?

“I believe that the improvements that come to our City as a result of our efforts for the Canada Winter Games will have a long lasting effect for our economy. It would not be surprising if we attracted a new convention centre, increased in the number of hotel rooms, and diversified our industries as a result of this opportunity fostering and accelerating our current plans,” said Harris. “These are changes that will not only help us with sports tourism, but also with the tourism and convention industry generally. In the long term, they will help provide a better climate for business and the people who live here.

“When people come to Red Deer, they will see we have much more to offer. The Canada Winter Games has the potential to be one of those transformational activities that invites change for the better is a variety of ways.”

He added he looks forward to working with the bid committee and members of the public as they both dream about the possibility and work hard to overcome the challenges that will be faced along the way.

Imagine again, that while you are traumatized, with your weak heart and chest pain dragging you down, you end up looking suspicious on account of having to follow the man to find out where he lives so he can be charged for the aggressive emotional assault he is responsible for!

Mr. X in Oriole Park, you will be charged if you are identified! Your conscience is so far gone that you cared not at all for the man your dog was an inch from killing!

Your wife was just as apathetic. Fine citizens and neighbors you two make. We need corporeal punishment from the Crown to cure people like you! Too bad we can’t roll the clock back to see the law make it happen.

Imagine this, no, realize it, for here is

what our society is coming to. Smoke rising from a cigarette outside can harm no one, but we must ban it.

But beasts on leashes are allowed to trot right up to you, even though they might kill you an instant. If you value human life, discourage the ownership of large dogs.

Join those of us who support the banning of dangerous dogs. Such a ban has been done elsewhere. It can be done here.

Don’t worry about a puff of smoke, people. Worry about the beast around the next corner. Beasts like pitbulls are dangerous weapons. Arm yourself against them as much as the law will allow. It might save a life one day.

Overnight stays at Walmart I don’t know if I have my information correct or not, but I have a matter that has been of concern to me for quite some time now. I sold real estate in Red Deer and area for 15 years, and I am extremely proud of our beautiful City.

In years past, some favorite times for me and my husband have been getting in the convertible after work, going for a drive and visiting with the people who camp overnight at Walmart.

When we are traveling from destination to destination, and not just having a leisurely holiday, we find it very convenient to stop for a few hours sleep at a Walmart store.

It’s great because you can shop or eat for convenience rather than driving through a

town or city to do so, or paying $40 for a camp spot for a few hours.

We have not yet come across a Walmart that would not allow an overnight stay.

We have also noticed that it doesn’t appear that travelers are stopping at Walmart locations in Red Deer. In asking around, I was told that the City will not allow it. I certainly hope that is not the case, because being proud of our beautiful city I would want people to stop in, mingle, and say ‘Wow that Red Deer is a nice friendly place to visit’. Please tell me it isn’t true that the City won’t allow it.

I would be ashamed if that is the case.

Stroke – the ‘S-talk’ Remember the awkwardness when it came to your first ‘S-talk?’ Whether you were doing the talking or the listening, chances are discussing the birds and the bees was a bit uncomfortable. But it was necessary and helpful.

Fast forward to the present and it’s time to have another S-talk with your loved ones – this one is about stroke. Your first Stalk saved you from making bad decisions.

This S-talk can save your life or the life of someone you love.

Here’s why - too many Albertans don’t know that it’s crucial to call 9-1-1 immediately after stroke symptoms appear. And two-thirds of Albertans arrive at hospital too late for treatments that can prevent damage, reduce disability and save lives.

That’s why the Heart and Stroke Foundation has launched the S-talk campaign.

We want every Albertan to talk to their parents, families and friends about stroke warning signs and the need to seek treatment – quickly.

How quickly? For every minute of delay in treating a stroke, the average patient loses almost two million brain cells.

The good news is stroke can be treated if caught early - within 3½ hours from the onset of symptoms.

So protect the ones you love by having a talk about stroke. Help them know the signs and to call 9-1-1 if it happens. At heartandstroke.ca/stroke you’ll find out more about the S-talk and retro-inspired eCards to help get the conversation started with the people you love.

MAN DIES AFTER VEHICLE COLLISION Christopher Huhn, 31, of Red Deer was killed last week after the motorcycle he was riding collided with an SUV. On June 28th at 6:45 a.m. Red Deer City RCMP responded to a collision at the intersection of 40th Ave. and 32nd St. The traffic lights were not working at the intersection resulting in a four-way stop situation.

DRIVER ASSAULTED ON QEII HWY

NE of INNISFAIL 1. P. Gallant – 15.19-metre (49’) front yard setback relaxation for an existing dwelling on Lot A, Plan 802-1893, NW 2-36-27-4.

Police are investigating an assault that allegedly took place on Gasoline Alley last week.

On June 27 shortly before 8:30 p.m. RCMP responded to a report of an assault on the QEII Hwy. near Gasoline Alley.

According to witnesses a dark coloured pick-up truck travelling south forced a double-trailer transport truck off the highway and onto the shoulder.

Both vehicles stopped and the male of the pick-up truck exited his vehicle. He then approached the driver of the transport truck and started punching the driver’s side window.

The man broke through the window and continued his attack on the victim.

The suspect then fled the scene, driving through the ditch and west into the north end of Gasoline Alley at a high rate of speed.

That’s when police were called.

Police are now looking for a Caucasian man between 25 and 30 years of age, approximately 5’9” with an average build who may be driving a dark blue or black Ford Superduty extended cab pickup truck, possibly with front end damage.

“This appears to be a case of road rage gone wrong,” said Const. Steve Molnar of the Innisfail RCMP Traffic Unit.

“We’re still trying to determine what occurred to lead up to this incident.”

The 37-year-old victim from Calgary suffered facial lacerations and was treated and released at the scene by EMS. Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the event or who may have any information regarding the incident to contact the Innisfail Integrated Traffic Unit at 403-343-4135 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Craig Curtis honoured Alberta Venture magazine has announced its 16th annual list of Alberta’s 50 most inuential people, and a prominent Red Deer ďŹ gure has made the cut.

City Manager Craig Curtis was selected for the 2012 list, which began in 1997.

Alberta Venture created the list to highlight people who have left a positive impression on Alberta’s political, economic and cultural landscape.

His role has him overseeing 18 departments, 1,200 employees and a $700 million operating budget.

Curtis has been involved in the City’s development since the early 1980s when he was involved with the planning commission and later as the urban plan-

ning manager and director of community services. He left the City to manage another for a number of years and returned ďŹ ve years ago to what he said is a time of growth for the City of Red Deer. “I wanted the opportunity to be a part of that,â€? he said. “I think the nomination is a recognition that the City is making progress in fairly cutting edge ways on a variety of issues. “Hopefully things like our transportation and downtown improvements played into this.â€?

He said he is delighted to have received the designation and that it is a boost in light of all the work the City is doing to make its name known.

The roots of chuckwagon racing in Alberta This year, the Calgary Stampede is going all out to celebrate the centennial of the first stampede in 1912.

Among the signature events of the annual ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’ are the chuckwagon races, often referred to as the Rangeland Derby.

The origins of the Rangeland Derby are a bit vague, even though chuckwagon racing is the only outdoor

sporting event that was created solely in Alberta.

There is no doubt that the sport has some roots in the informal races that took place during the early cattle drives across North America.

However, one common story is that Guy Weadick, the developer of the organized races, was inspired by the cooks who had been serving the barbeque at the 1919 Victory Stampede in Calgary and then raced each other for the grandstand’s exit. Whatever the source of the idea, Weadick decided to make chuchwagon races one of the main features at the 1923 Stampede. The format was quite simple. Contestants imitated the breaking up of a camp, including the tossing of tent poles and a stove into the back of the wagon.

The wagons, flanked by outriders, then raced in a figure eight fashion around barrels and then off to the finish line, where the team had to re-strike camp.

The winners were initially determined by which contestants were able to show the first visible smoke from their stoves.

Chuckwagon races proved an enormous hit and have been part of the show at the Calgary Stampede ever since. Similar events were also quickly organized across Central and Southern Alberta.

The first running of the chuckwagons at the Red Deer Fair took place on July 23, 1924 during the first summer after the inaugural event in Calgary.

The winners were Tom Lauder of the Innisfail/Elnora area and his partner Ray Bagley, a rancher from east of Red Deer.

They had also been the winners of the races at the Calgary Stampede two weeks before. The event was such a success that Ray Bagley decided to include chuckwagon races at the stampede which was held at this ranch at the end of August. Large crowds turned out for the show.

Once again, Bagley and his partner Tom Lauder won the chuckwagon races.

An attempt by Jake Smith of Calgary to hold another stampede in Red Deer, at the beginning of September, was a bust.

Many people felt that the location on the Banting

Michael

DAWE farm south and west of the City (the current site of the Red Deer College) was too far out of town for potential attendees. Others held that publicity for the show had been weak.

The two events that drew any kind of crowd were a boxing match between Baden Whiteside and Manley Sills as well as airplane demonstrations and passenger rides by the famous Wop May of Edmonton.

Financial problems prevented the Red Deer Agricultural Society from continuing chuckwagon racing at the annual Red Deer Fair. However, in 1925, a new chuckwagon champion emerged at the Calgary Stampede from the Red Deer area.

He was Jim Ross, a rancher from Pine Lake.

Together with his friend Bayse Collins, he won the 1925 Rangeland Derby. Ross won again in 1929 and 1932, while Tom Lauder was the champion in 1927 and 1928.

Lauder also won the inaugural chuckwagon races at the Edmonton Exhibition in 1925.

Jim Ross became a popular promoter of the Calgary Stampede and other rodeos by serving pancake breakfasts from the back of his chuckwagon. He got a ranch hand Wilf Carter to play music during the meals. Carter later immortalized Ross by mentioning him in his famous 1935 song The Calgary Round-Up. Meanwhile, several generations of the Lauder family have continued the tradition of excellence in chuckwagon racing. Sonin-law Ron Glass became a championship driver.

Three of those victories came while he was driving the John Phelan rig from Red Deer. Tom Lauder’s grandson Tom Glass and two of his great-grandsons, Jason Glass and Colt Cosgrave, are also championship drivers while greatgrandson Chad Cosgrave is a member of championship outrider teams.

Proposed expressway causes councillor concern

BY KIRSTEN PALARDY Red Deer Express A proposed six-lane expressway has City Councillor Paul Harris wondering if there aren’t better ways to move traffic through the City.

“A six-lane expressway is so costly and it’s just not appropriate for taxpayers’ money,” said Harris.

The proposed expressway came up during a presentation by City planner Jordan Furness regarding a draft of the Timber Ridge Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan (NASP).

The expressway would be directly to the east of the Timber Ridge area and Harris said that alone is a concern.

“Because it abuts the expressway then some decisions need to be made regarding the setbacks that will be required.”

The setbacks for a standard four-lane road would be almost 30m less than those required for the expressway.

“This means we’re saying we need to reserve another 30 metres to build six lanes which means housing is pushed back and then because of the speed limit we would have to look at sound barriers,” said Harris.

The sound barriers themselves are an issue for Harris as he said he feels they change the whole feel of the City.

“By putting the expressway in I think you’re going to split the City into three

pieces.” Harris said other options should be looked at for effective vehicle movement through the City including the possibility of roundabouts or other non-conventional flow-through intersections.

The speed limit on the proposed expressway would be upwards of 90km/h and would form a portion of a ring road on the City’s east side.

“It would be a north-south connector from the Delburne Road but it’s not really a ring road because we’re already building on the other side, so it cuts right through the City,” said Harris.

Other concerns regarding the expressway include the walkability of the City and the fact that crossing a six-lane 90km/h road becomes a rather tenuous exercise for any pedestrian.

The Timber Ridge NASP should come before City council in July or August and it contains plans for 978 residential units as well as commercial land and some green space.

A school site has also been designated in the area, which would mean there could potentially be children walking to and from school with a necessity to cross the proposed expressway.

Harris said he feels the issue should come up before the public sooner rather than later to be debated before there be any required changes to the land use bylaws in the area.

2012 Hospitals’ Lottery winners announced The winners in the 2012 Hospitals’ Lottery were announced last week after the draws took place in the grand prize dream home located in Timberlands.

A Sylvan Lake couple

won the grand prize in this year’s Hospitals’ Lottery.

“We’re winning a house today,” Floyd Anderson said when he told his wife Doris to take the phone with her while she worked in the

garden before the draws were made.

He was right.

Doris did take the phone with her and she did get the call and the couple did win a house. They held the

12071DA6

lucky ticket that was drawn for the Hospitals’ Lottery grand prize dream home.

The couple wasted no time going to see their new home either. They joined lottery officials there for

lunch that day.

The 2,800 sq. ft. home at 19 Tobin Gate was built by True Line Homes and is valued at $654,554. It was one of the 460 prizes drawn last week at the house.

The Lottery sold out prior to early bird for the first time in its history and all prizes were drawn on the early bird draw date.

The draw also left two men with a major decision to make.

The prize was a 2012 Dodge Sport Crew Cab truck and a 2012 Crusader fifth wheel or $57,500 cash.

The truck and fifth wheel package is worth $92,232 retail and was won by Wayne Eastcott and Guy Dorval.

The two men split the winning ticket. Dorval said he and Eastcott will have to decide what to do about the prize.

Another Sylvan Lake resident who works at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre won a major prize as well. Glenn Alward had the ticket for a vehicle draw and he can decide if he wants a new 2012 Dodge Challenger or Caravan, valued at $36,865 retail.

Alward works in the Hospital’s IT department and was speechless when told of his win. He had to call back twice to confirm that he had won.

Jerry Costache from Drumheller was also a man with few words when told he had the choice between a 2012 Ford Explorer and a 2012 Ford Mustang, valued at $30,028 retail. “I’ve never won anything before,” he exclaimed in disbelief.

The names of all winners can be found on the lottery web site at www.hospitalslottery.com.

The lottery is a project of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. This year’s lottery is dedicated to giving healthcare professionals the tools they need to help all Central Albertans heal without having to travel to larger centres for treatment.

Lottery funding will help purchase pulmonary equipment for the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

The new equipment will aid in diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, asthma, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as supporting all units of the Hospital that require the regular use of respiratory equipment.

ENTERTAINMENT Local artist explores magic of gardens in new exhibit

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express The nature of gardens has always meant much to local artist David More, who has an amazing ability to capture their beauty in his richly-rendered paintings.

More, who calls Benalto home, is gearing up for a new exhibit at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery called The Garden Ceremony.

DAVID MORE Showcasing works that ‘explore gardens as imaginary havens, as the seats of memory and as places of refuge from personal turmoil,’ the exhibit runs July 7 to Sept. 5.

A reception is set for July 10 from 7 to 9 p.m. and an artist’s talk is also planned for Aug. 19 at 2 p.m.

More, 64, has been working on the series since the mid-1970s. He did a number of drawings that tapped into a garden theme and from there, a theme began to flow.

“I began to call it The Garden Ceremony because it was something I was going through,” he recalls.

“But I began to realize that other people would be going through the same thing.

When things were going

bad and I needed to escape, I would go to parks. I would see others doing the same thing, and I realized that in a way they were seeking refuge. They were finding a haven in the midst of the chaos around them. They were able to deal with their emotions, and maybe sometimes escape from them.”

The Garden Ceremony has grown to include more than 200 works. In the exhibit at the Museum, 15 paintings will be showcased along with nine drawings which show where the ideas come from.

Some of the images have been inspired by visits to such places as Brazil and India as well.

For More, it’s been an exhilarating creative journey with unexpected turns along the way. And at various times he’s considered the project ‘a wrap’. But then he would travel and discover more gardens and the roles they have in people’s lives in other places.

Fresh inspiration would spring up.

“They are combinations of real places and imagined places, memories of places and memories of events told to me by others that turned into places.”

Spitfire Steps is a vivid portrait merging English garden steps with the garden birdbath of More’s childhood home in Red Lancaster Moon Deer. captures the mystery of a nighttime sky with its shimmering moonlight on a terraced stone wall.

More was born in Scotland, but was raised in Alberta – mostly in Red Deer.

“As young tadpole learning to walk I was always an aggressive doodler, and my mum encouraged me to draw on the cardboard

“But my real childhood interest in art as a vehicle for communicating probably began with comic books and realizing how effectively they told stories.

“The power of serious art as portrayed in historical and contemporary art really came into focus when I attended art college and was presented with so many flexible variations of

expression and communication.”

Being able to co-author and illustrate books with the late humourist Eric Nicol offered More the chance to engage his practice in a less serious but no less intense mode, he says. “As a painter though, I have been able to approach the serious side of life when I felt compelled to express outrage or disappointment with human behaviour.”

More, who is always gracious and humble in spite of his tremendous gift-

ing as an artist, is excited about the opportunity of sharing The Garden Ceremony with viewers.

“Really, The Garden Ceremony has little to do with gardening, and everything to do with the human race,” he says. “Humanity with its greatest and loftiest aspirations has created the most beautiful things imaginable, but in the blink of an eye we can undermine and disturb and even destroy what has been attained.

“And we are not talking about material things but

ideals, or societal values.

The Garden Ceremony is a metaphorical attempt to come to grips with that. On the one hand we can create what we consider to be perfect beauty, but we can quickly walk away from it and abandon it and let it fall into ruin.

“A lot of my images are of gardens that may be interpreted as being on the edge of abandonment, or also as in the process of regeneration. The viewers decide for themselves.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Local film project seeks extras

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express The team behind a highly-anticipated film project is on the lookout for extras to help out in a range of scenes.

Matt Grue, in association with Ozmosis Entertainment and The Matchbox Theatre Foundation, announced the film adaptation of Year After Year last fall. Shooting begins next month with a release date planned for March of 2013.

Ignition Theatre staged Year After Year in 2010 to much acclaim, and since then a film has been in the works.

Community support has been extremely solid from the get-go, said Grue, who was artistic director for Ignition Theatre. He wrote Year After Year, while Curtis Labelle penned the music. The lyrics were written

by Spencer Pasman and Stephanie Ridge.

Casting calls for the film were held in Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton and Grue said his first choices for all the parts committed to the project. Shooting locations have been nailed down, technical crews have been assembled and the funds have been committed as well.

On July 11, a call for extras will be held at the Memorial Centre. Anyone is welcome to attend, as there are all kinds of parts for a range of roles. Things get underway at 7 p.m.

“We need hundreds of background performers. They don’t have to commit to a day or anything right now -- we can work that out after. We want to create a roster of people who are interested in spending a

few hours on a set throughout August.”

Year After Year chronicles the dissolving years of friends in their late 20s as they navigate the waters of hollow careers, lost ambition, forgotten dreams and the relationships that matter most.

Bill is celebrating his 28th birthday with his closest friends. Hunter is a successful photographer, Todd and Rachel are a couple on the edge of divorce, Peter and Laura have been dating since college and are looking towards the next step and Kate, who has known Bill for years, is negotiating her love for him and her need to let go.

The film will be directed by Dustin Clark.

Joel Crichton, who played Bill in the stage version, will resume the role for the film.

As for Clark taking the reigns of director, Grue is confident the project is in the right hands. “He knows how to get the right performance, and he knows how a subtle moment in the first hour will have a humungous pay-off in the last 10 minutes.

His techniques are so advanced.”

Meanwhile, Grue is thankful for the support the project has received.

“What we’ve told everyone is we wanted to make a Hollywood-caliber movie with an extremely limited budget, but we wanted to prove that we could shoot it in Central Alberta,” he said. Although some of the film locations are in Calgary and Edmonton, the majority of it will be shot in Red Deer. Anyone interested in being an extra can email Grue at movie@yearafteryearmusical.com.

Seeking a Freind for the End of the World Focus Rating: 14A 101 minutes Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is being promoted as a comedy, but it’s really a love story that tries to be humourous, usually without success.

However, the satire (like

local media maintaining a countdown until the final days) often works, as does the romance.

An asteroid 70 miles across is going to hit the earth and probably destroy human life in three weeks. Steve Carell plays a New Jersey life insurance salesman, who despite his profession and the imminent apocalypse, still goes to work every day. His wife left him for the man she really loves and he’s facing the end of the world alone.

But then he becomes friends with a somewhat wacky, dope-smoking neighbour played by Kiera Knightley. Together they flee the rioting that is breaking out in their neighbourhood and agree to help

each other. First they will try to find the high school girlfriend he still yearns for and then he will help her get to England to reunite with her family.

On the road they, unsurprisingly, fall in love while meeting interesting people, like William Petersen, who is dying of cancer and has hired a hit man to kill himself. While this is a movie that only partly works, it does bring out the human need for love and companionship. And a charming Knightley and Carell make what could be a real downer of a movie, surprisingly appealing. Rating: four deer out of five.

Are we there yet? Tips for planning a summer road trip Last summer my husband and I chose to drive from Toronto to Halifax with our two daughters, then aged 12 and 19.

Sara

DIMERMAN It was one of the most memorable summer vacations we had ever experienced as a family. Along with being able to capture the historic beauty of Quebec, we also visited New Brunswick and PEI for the first time. After spending

time with friends in Halifax, we were awe-inspired by the breathtaking Green and White Mountain ranges as we drove back home through Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Never having experienced a family road trip before, I wasn’t sure how everyone would adapt to spending so many hours on the road but planning ahead paid off and we can’t wait to do it again. If you’re planning a road trip with your family anytime soon, here’s what you might like to know.

Consider the age and temperament of your children. Travelling as we did with two older children who are quite capable of entertaining themselves,

and each other, made our trip that much more enjoyable. I don’t think it would have been quite the same if we had made the same trip when they were much younger.

Although travelling overnight so that young children can sleep the hours away may make getting to your destination easier, there are cons to this. For one thing, you may feel exhausted from driving without getting a night’s sleep and the beauty of your surroundings will be lost.

The journey is really just as important as the destination. If you plot out stops and points of interest along the way, then the final destination becomes the place that you are spending the

most amount of time at, but is not that much more important than all the special stops along the way.

Involve your family in the planning stage. If your children do research on the Internet, for example, about special places they’d like to visit and if you integrate these stops along the way, they will feel that their needs have been equally considered. Then, the vacation truly becomes a family vacation.

Take lots to occupy them in the car. One of the great things about car travel is that you don’t have to worry about your luggage being a couple of pounds overweight.

You also don’t have to worry about other restric-

tions such as products that are not allowed on board an aircraft, for example. Other than the portable DVD and other electronics, how about a knapsack of creative car activities such as a paper and crayons, stickers and maybe even a small lap tray to place the material on.

Help your children know in advance how much time between stops so that they don’t ask “Are we there yet?” every half hour.

Older children, who understand time and can read can be provided with an itinerary including approximate time planned to be on the road. Children can also be helped by showing them how to read a GPS so that they can see how much

time remains until they can stretch their legs or visit another place of interest.

If you drive a smaller car, consider renting a minivan for the time you’re going to be away. A van allows you the luxury of extra leg space, extra luggage space and extra elbow space and may even mean that the children are less likely to fight with one another.

Most importantly, take lots of time planning and researching a trip so that you know where and when you are coming and going.

Treasure each stop and inhale every moment along the way.

A sick brain and a great naval disaster It was June 27, 1942, during World War II and Russia was in desperate need of tanks, planes, ammunition, food and other war necessities. The Soviet army was involved in a battle against Hitler’s panzer divisions that were advancing deeper into Russian territory and winning on all fronts.

It appeared that without supplies the future course of World War II in the east was in doubt. And no one knew that a dreadful naval decision was about to be made to further the conquests of Nazi Germany.

To aid the Russian army, allied commanders decided to assemble a huge convoy of British and American ships with the final destination, Archangel, in northern Russia. It was a perilous journey under the best of conditions.

Dr. Gifford

JONES The strategy was to have this naval escort meet merchant ships carrying supplies north of Iceland.

They were then to proceed through enemy waters controlled by German submarines and torpedobombers based in northern Norway. But a strange thing happened while in these treacherous waters.

The escorting naval ships received an order telling them to leave the convoy at high speed. In addition, the puzzled captains

of the merchant ships were told to scatter and proceed to Archangel. These murderous signals sent from 2,000 miles away resulted in a disaster. For U-Boat commanders and torpedobombers it became a shooting gallery. Just 11 of the 34 ships reached their destination. Winston Churchill called convoy PQ 17 one of the most melancholy episodes of the whole war.

But who sent this infamous signal against all naval advice? It was The First Lord of the British Admiralty, Sir Dudley Pound.

Members of his staff had noticed that he was suffering from exhaustion and fell asleep when meeting with President Roosevelt and at other meetings. They also questioned whether his symptoms might be due to serious disease. But be-

cause Churchill held him in high esteem, as did other admirals, no one suggested he seek medical attention.

When Pound issued this infamous order he was actually suffering the symptoms of a glioma, a type of brain tumour, and died a few months later.

Dr. Bengt Ljunggren, a Swedish neurosurgeon and historian, outlines in his book Great Men with Sick Brains, how often we do not learn from history.

Churchill replaced Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister in May, 1940.

Chamberlain had returned from a meeting with Hitler, reporting the Fuhrer had

agreed to peace. But Chamberlain’s buoyancy was failing and he died of colon cancer in November of that year. The British ambassador to Washington, Lord Lothian, showed even greater signs his brain was failing. But on his arrival in the U.S he surprised journalists by declaring, “Well boys, Britain is broke. It’s your money we want!” He had kidney failure and died two weeks later.

The tragedy in all these cases is that close colleagues were sleeping at the switch. It was apparent to them Sir Dudley Pound was sleeping 75% of the time and was not han-

dling the task of managing the admiralty. During the conference on whether to invade Sicily or Sardinia, Field Marshall Viscount Alanbrooke noted that Pound had no opinion either way.

Later at the Casablanca Conference, General George S. Patton remarked on Pound’s indecision. And even when Pound had lost the function of his foot and hand, he still attended a conference in Quebec City.

Tragic mistakes could have been avoided if Pound had been forced to resign or at least consult a physician.

TRAVEL

ER RATE NEW SUP $

Successful travel as a family made easy Many people enjoy traveling.

The opportunity to spend free time experiencing other cultures or visiting faraway lands appeals to many people’s inquisitive and adventurous natures, and it’s no wonder retirees often devote so much time traveling the world.

Yet traveling as a carefree retiree and traveling as a parent to young children are two entirely different things; and parents’ love of travel is often put to the test when the kids are in tow.

But traveling with kids doesn’t have to be a logistical nightmare. The following are a few travel tips for parents about to go on vacation with their little ones.

• Check your flight status.

Flights are commonly rescheduled, which can be inconvenient for adult travelers who don’t have a couple of kids tagging along. For parents, though, extra time waiting at the airport with kids can be stressful and tough to handle. Before leaving the house, check your flight status to ensure you won’t be spending extra time sitting and waiting at the airport and looking for things to quell your child’s boredom. When booking the flight, sign up for flight updates that are sent directly to your mobile phone. These will keep you posted and save you the hassle of going online and checking your flight status every few hours.

• Check in ahead of time.

Many airlines allow passengers to check in ahead of time, typically within 24 to 36 hours of the flight’s scheduled departure.

When kids are coming along, the less time you spend in line at the airport the better, and checking in ahead of time can save you from waiting in long check-in lines at the airport.

• Confirm what you’re allowed to bring on board. Parents of very young children, be

it infants or toddlers, should confirm what they’re allowed to pack and bring on board in advance of their flight. Sterilized water, for instance, might be acceptable to bring on board, but the airline might insist that it be stored in a baby bottle. Contact the airline a few days before you plan to pack to learn the company’s guidelines. Different airlines might have slightly different guidelines.

• Explore the airport. Depending on if you will be flying a domestic or international flight, you might be spending a considerable amount of time waiting to board or even dealing with a layover. These waiting periods and layovers are boring for adults and kids alike, so use the airport to your advantage and go exploring. Kids are often fascinated by airplanes, so take them to gates or terminals where flights are about to depart.

• Separate kids on the plane. If you have two or more children in tow, avoid seating them next to one another on the plane. This can lead to spats that will almost certainly upset your fellow passengers. Let mom sit with one child and dad with another, and give kids the window seat so they can entertain themselves by looking out the window when the plane is in flight.

• Bring your own entertainment. Kids are going to get bored on the flight, so be sure they have plenty to do while in the air. Bring along a tablet with video capability to keep kids occupied with a movie or television show. This will help reduce the restlessness and boredom they’re likely to feel in the air.

Or buy kids a new book or magazine at the airport so they have something new to occupy their time until the plane lands.

Traveling with children is seldom easy. But a few tricks of the trade can make the trip go more smoothly.

Athletic skills essential to Ponoka Stampede success

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express It’s very appropriate that the Ponoka Stampede happens during the celebration of our country’s birthday because the cowboy way of life played a huge role in how western Canada was developed, most old timers will tell you.

Blair Vold and his family have been involved with this show for dozens of years and they are very proud to have seen the stampede roll on for 75 years in the community. “It’s just a great traditional rodeo to celebrate Alberta’s history I think,” said Vold on the launch of year 76. “It shows us where we come from in our farming community when we first started and how it evolved into such a tradition of our great province.”

Thousands of people cram themselves into the stands each year to watch saddle bronc riders, barrel races, calf ropers,

steer wrestlers and the rock stars of the rodeo world, the bull riders. On top of that you can end the night taking in the heartpounding chuckwagon racing affectionately called the ‘half mile of hell.’

People have their favourites at each rodeo but one thing is a constant at the Ponoka Stampede - people from all over the region and further away make their way to the Central Alberta town.

“We draw a lot of fans from overseas, Europe, they come here from the states and they get treated to something they’ve never seen before.”

Vold said there are close to 1,000 people entered into the stampede through the rodeo events and the chuckwagon races making it one of the largest rodeos in the country. “Well in Canada I call ourselves the largest seven-day rodeo,” said Vold , adding that in North America the Ponoka Stampede ranks number five overall.

An army of volunteers and stampede

board directors get involved and Vold says that is the key to pulling off a smooth show each year which the participants and fans alike appreciate. It also helps to attract the money through sponsorship needed to attract the big name cowboys and cowgirls who compete for a paycheque.

The community and the support they give along with the volunteers and the directors who give of their time in order to put this show on are the strength of the stampede, he said.

“The sponsors we do get want to be behind it, we don’t have to chase a lot of them,” Vold explained, adding how much the support of the stampede also has a positive impact on sponsors getting onboard.

Another component to making this stampede such a success are the animals which the cowboys ride and Vold said each year the stock gets better which makes for great matchups with the cowboys.

Vold said over the years the cowboys and

JUST IN . . . Just in Time!

26BH Maple Country

cowgirls have evolved along with the rodeo itself, pointing to the fact many show up in trailers which are light years ahead of how the cowpokes of the past made their way to Ponoka.

In the old days they just rode in the back of pickups with stock racks and they slept underneath the trucks or in tents.

“These guys are high-tech now, you see the stock trailers, the push outs, the horses, the training. Barrel racers with their trainers are here.”

There is also a very up-to-date medical treatment centre for the athletes to work out the kinks and treat the minor injuries which can occur when sitting on top of two tons of angry bull for example.

And make no mistake about it, these men and women are athletes and with so much cash on the line they go to all lengths to make sure they are as fit as possible to compete against the rest of the field. sports@reddeerexpress.com

Curling couple shares insights

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Heather Nedohin admits Red Deer always will have a warm spot in her heart.

Winning a World Junior curling title here along with a Scotties crown added a little more heat to that temperature but she returned the favour last month sharing her thoughts with a select group of athletes. She was speaking at the Special Olympics breakfast last month and made a point of how impressed she was with the accomplishments and the efforts of the special Olympians. “I just love seeing the joy in their participation and in their training,� she said. “ So to come here to speak to them is just like coming home.�

She was joined on the breakfast date by her husband David who is no slouch when it comes to winning at the game of curling, notching four briers and three world championships as a member of the Randy Ferbey foursome. He said he was excited to come to Red Deer for the chance to address the group having been involved with Special Olympic events.

From a personal perspective it’s extremely motivating to see the excitement and the enthusiasm and the hard work that goes into their sports, he said, add-

ing most of them are also dual sports athletes. “So it’s not like us where we just compete at one sport. They’ve got to work on more than one sport at one time.� Both of these champions touched on the fact while there was success during their careers there were also obstacles and failures, similar to what these young athletes have already experienced.

Heather went through a stretch of 14 years in between two championships and there were plenty of times where she questioned why she was training, “But when you are really, truly passionate about what you’re doing and regardless if you place second or third or maybe not even make the podium, it’s about enjoying the game,� said Heather.

David added to that sentiment, recalling times where the foursome was a shot away from winning a game, only to lose.

Both David and Heather have the same opinion about their curling brethren when it comes to being available for such great causes like the Special Olympics. “If there is a way that we can help and be a part of our community, you’ll see the curlers there. It doesn’t take a lot of convincing to get our community of athletes out to support an event like that,� said David. sports@reddeerexpress.com

Thoughts on summer camps Ah, summertime and the living is easy!

It means summer camps are here with plenty to choose from around Central Alberta so junior can take a weeklong break from mom and dad.

JIM

CLAGGETT There is nothing like packing up the child and sending him or her to be in the care of strangers for seven days and seeing how much they have matured as little people over that time.

My only camp experience came when I was 10 years old and I was transported across the border into the United States to attend the Royal Canadian Legion football camp at the International Peace Gardens. I couldn’t believe my parents were willing to put me in what very much re-

sembled an army barracks with about 80 other football players ranging in age from 10 to 17.

All I had to do was eat, sleep and play football for seven straight days! Score!

Of course this wasn’t some rainbows and ponies type of camp. This was twoa-day sessions with a game to wrap things up and you were getting pasted by kids three years older than you on a regular basis. Survival was the name of the game and there were many who left early.

The coaches were grizzled veterans of the gridiron wars and they had little time for any young football player who had tears welling up in his eyes because he was homesick.

One of those coaches was Marshall Quelch who had on his resume an appearance in the Olympics wearing the Maple Leaf in the judo competition. He also was a guide in the wilderness of Manitoba where he took people bear hunting with a bow and arrow. Not exactly the warm, fuzzy type you could pour your heart out to and get a sym-

pathetic response.

As it turned out, we met again years later and had several chuckles over the camp experience, including how he viewed the snot-nosed little kids that invaded his world during that week. I think the word bear-bait was used once or twice.

Another memorable person from my camp experience was a huge kid named Paul Seymour who at age 17 stood over six feet and weighed in around 250 pounds. From my point of view he was the biggest kid I had ever seen and I was petriďŹ ed to stand anywhere within his massive wingspan.

As it turned out, he actually liked my company and while I can’t say we became great friends I can safely say he did look out for me in some of the drills we did and managed to sneak me some extra food at lunch and supper.

He went on to a nice career as an offensive lineman with the Buffalo Bills and I always viewed him as my favourite hoggie. sports@reddeerexpress.com

The luxurious feel of Tuscan design Many clients ask for the sunny, rich historic Tuscany look for their homes. It is a romantic ideal for design which brings olive groves and citrus trees to our imagination as we long for the sun to warm us throughout the year. We adore the sun bleached homes and worn finishes on the furniture and floors when we see them in a magazine or a movie yet it can be difficult to make that look a reality in our homes.

Tuscan style is luxurious yet informal with much of the style influence coming from rich upholstery and bold expressive wood furniture. People who truly decorate Tuscan do so with deep emotion, family traditions and often regional style consideration.

It is a décor that is steeped in his-

Kim

LEWIS tory and passion which reflects a deep love of the country surrounding it. So how do we duplicate this expressive design in our land of Alberta where olive trees do not abound?

Pick the elements of Tuscan design that will suit your home.

Search for large-scale wood furniture that has ornate mouldings and interesting shape – a bombe chest with a curvy front or a large oval coffee table with beautifully carved feet. Worn metal pulls with floral or leaf motifs add the right

embellishment to your dressers and book shelves. The influences of the renaissance are prevalent throughout Tuscan design and you will discover scrollwork, urn patterns and classic Grecian inspired style on dressers, coffee tables and sumptuous wooden sleigh beds. Using colour is a must for Tuscan décor; go on the hunt for warm and bright colours such as ochre, terra cotta, umber, gold and ivory. Fabrics and paints come together using these sun soaked colours with varying layers of hues, paint techniques and various fabric combinations.

Drapery is layered for the diverse weather of the day; wispy sheers to float in the breeze accompany heavier tapestries to keep out the evening chill. Furniture can

be draped with everything from crisp linen to ornate velvet and chenille. A traditional Tuscan home will have multiple colours on the walls and will most likely have blended and custom paint finishes covering aging plaster walls. Exposed stonewalls and fireplaces also have an impressive presence in a Tuscany home, the varying pattern and colours play an important part in the design.

Have I romanced you yet? Are you craving a traditional Tuscan flavoured room? Good! The trouble is of course finding a home in Alberta that has features like century old hardwood and metal shutters embracing windows in their gentle arabesque pattern.

The second thing that trips peo-

ple up is the age and worn quality of some of the pieces that you can acquire – the Tuscan look can be beautiful but it does require a love of certain antiques.

This doesn’t mean you can’t integrate a Tuscan theme for your home; it is simply a matter of incorporating some of your favorite elements of this passionate design trend. Whether it is in the colour or textures and patterns you can successfully pull it off with a few simple pieces of inspiration.

The villas of Tuscany await your discovery of their design warmth and beauty.

What to expect when purchasing a home Most first time buyers don’t know exactly where to start when home shopping and may also not be aware who’s involved in the transaction.

Jean-Guy

TURCOTTE In most cases a visit to your local mortgage professional is your first step.

Our job is to educate you on the market and to figure out how much you can qualify for.

We are going to assess your financial position, while at the same time review your credit bureau for quality and then proceed to find out how much of a home you can afford.

We will discuss your budget while at the same time also discuss future requirements. Once we’ve determined how much you can qualify for, it’s time to start researching the market.

Getting together with a licensed realtor or new home

builder is where you’ll start learning which way you’d like to go.

The realtor’s job is to show you around the neighbourhoods where you see yourself living, and then also to help you negotiate the purchase. Good ones with a lot of experience will be able to help you navigate through good properties and bad, along with helping you avoid bad locations.

Once you have chosen a home to buy and have an offer presented, two things are going to happen -- completing your financing approval then hiring an inspector to walk through and look in all the nooks and crannies.

The home inspection should provide you with peace of mind, but be weary that not every defect can be detected. A few months back a friend of mine bought an older home in Edmonton and a lot of renovation work had been completed. The home inspection went very well (and this after a couple of previous offers on homes fell through on the home inspection) however the sewer lines underground weren’t viewed, and only

six weeks after they moved in are stuck with a $26,000 repair bill on the underground lines that connect to the city’s lines. A terrible outcome that may have been prevented had they had the lines viewed with a camera, which the plumbers found very quickly.

Home inspectors, realtors and mortgage professionals are not created equal, as Donald Trump says, “If you are going to use one, make sure you hire a good one.” Ensure you do your homework on each professional you choose as this is likely one of your biggest purchases and things can go very badly quickly without the proper professionals backing you.

Finding out how much experience they have, what types of volumes they perform along with client testimonials and a professional attitude will give you the peace of mind that you are making the right decision.
