Dream realized for City man at international triathlon Craig Schmitt recently takes part in World Ironman Triathlon at Kona

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express

R

ed Deerian Craig Schmitt achieved what most of us can scarcely imagine accomplishing at the recent World Ironman Triathlon at Kona.

He and his wife Nicole flew there last month so Craig could take part in the tremendously challenging event, where he was one of about 2,000 from around the world who had qualified to take part.

Craig, 34, a physiotherapist at Weber Physiotherapy Clinic, recalls the rush of humidity and heat the moment the couple arrived in Hawaii. He only had a couple of days to prepare for the event, which begins with a 4 km swim, followed by a 180 km bike route and wrapping up with a 42 km run.

“It’s kind of like the ‘world series’ of triathlons,” explains the father of four.

“My weakness out of the three disciplines would certainly be the swim. It was so choppy, but at the same time it was so cool because you could see these schools of fish swimming by,” he recalls of the warm, pristine ocean water. “The swim took a lot out of me. Then the part that would be my strength is the biking portion.” But it was windy, which can take its toll on a route that stretches for a staggering 180 km.

Next up was the run. “I hit the wall on the bike with about 35 km to go. I really hit it hard, and suffered. I kept thinking how am I going to run a marathon at the end of this. But with endurance racing, everybody at some point lands in a dark place.

“Negative thoughts creep in and you’re asking yourself all kinds of questions like can I do this? Why am I doing this? For some people, it just spirals out of control.

Everyone deals with it, but at the time, you feel like you are the only one dealing with it.”

As he began the run, the negativity was still feeling heavy. “I was low energy, my legs felt awful. I was mentally drained.

I was three kilometres in and thinking I have 39 more to go for real?”

Bearing down on everyone was also the heat without a trace of cloud cover. People were dropping out as the hours ticked by.

But Craig started finding a new source of inspiration to keep going when Nicole came running along beside him.

“I was about five kilometres into the race going on a gradual incline. I wasn’t in a great spot. And there’s Nicole at the top of the hill telling me ‘This is your dream.

This is what you’ve worked for. You’re in Kona. This is it. Just keep the legs moving’.

That’s what I needed to hear.”

Craig finished the event in 10 hours and

15 minutes; in 490th place. “Deep down, I wanted to be in the top 250. I really wanted to crack under 10 (hours) there – that was kind of my magical number.”

Looking back, Craig, who grew up near Drumheller, was always interested in being active. “Essentially, it was hockey in the winter and baseball in the summer – hockey, baseball; hockey; baseball,” he adds with a laugh.

But the thought of taking part in a triathlon didn’t surface until several years later. First, he took up biking and found something he developed a passion for. “Nicole had two young cousins who were going to bicycle from Vancouver to Calgary.

A couple days before they were to leave, one of them had a heart attack while he was biking and died.”

Craig eventually offered to make the trip with the surviving cousin, and it proved a meaningful and life-changing journey. He delved into biking more and more, then took up swimming and running on more serious levels as well.

As already pointed out, Craig and Nicole are dedicated – first and foremost – to the well-being of their family. Training happens in such a way as to not interfere with family time – even if that means very early mornings. He also has to forego training with various groups because of the times they get together, so much of his training is done on his own. “We have a rule at home where Sunday through Friday I’m home at 7 a.m. those mornings, because that is breakfast time with the family.

“Part of it is that I’m driven. And part of it is that I’ve been blessed with an ability to do this. If I’m not doing it to my fullest, why am I doing it? If I have that opportunity, why not do my best.”

Craig and Nicole are also thankful for the support they received prior to the trip.

A fundraising dinner was planned by Terry Carter, and Craig’s employers at Weber Physiotherapy Clinic helped out as well.

Others also generously stepped up to offer financial assistance as news spread of the Kona event.

Meanwhile, Craig is grateful for the experience, but it’s not over. He wants to go back and tackle it again. To that end, he’s embarked on a training regimen again.

“It was really one of the pinnacles of my life – one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I never thought I would qualify. It starts off as a far-off thing where you feel you can’t even dream about it. Then you plug away at the training.

“Over the years, it’s been a steady progression to get there. So yes, it’s been a ‘life-changer’ for me.”

City moves forward in bid for 2019 Canada Winter Games

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express The City of Red Deer is on its way to making a bid for the 2019 Canada Winter Games. City council supported a motion earlier this week to move forward with the bidding process.

Darcy Mykytyshyn, consultant for the project, told council the City has a good chance at being successful.

“We were shortlisted in 1995 when we tried and we had a very compelling bid at that time. Red Deer had all the facilities it needed then, so I think we have a very good chance at being chosen this time around,” he said.

“We’re already well positioned to host an event like this.

We have 60 per cent of the sports accommodations covered off with relatively no investment.

“And we have 90 per cent of the sports (facilities) cov-

ered off with a small to medium investment.”

Mykytyshyn told City council that the federal and provincial government will also support Red Deer if a successful bid was made.

‘CENTRAL ALBERTA HAS A TREMENDOUS REPUTATION OF GETTING BEHIND EVENTS LIKE THIS.’ DARCY MYKYTYSHYN “The funding formula is an $11.1 million investment from the provincial government and an $11.1 million investment from the federal government.

“The City would invest $3 million to enhance facilities and they would also supply the cost of the balance after

K!

the federal and provincial government contributions,” he said, adding the committee estimates the City will end up contributing about 8% of the cost to host the Games and the City could look to sponsorship to help reduce that cost.

“Central Alberta has a tremendous reputation of getting behind events like this.

“I wouldn’t be surprised to see corporate Central Alberta step up in a big way to help offset the operating side of things.”

If Red Deer is selected to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games, the City will see upwards of 3,400 athletes compete over the two-week event and see an economic impact of over $100 million.

The Games would include 20 sporting events such as alpine skiing, biathlon, curling, gymnastics, snowboarding, speed skating, table tennis and wheelchair basketball, among others.

As the committee enters phase two of the bidding process, Mykytyshyn said the committee will take a look at the sporting events that need investment.

“In the report we presented a minimum of two options that we thought could be pursued in terms of finding solutions.

“Phase two will be about doing a detailed analysis of all of those options and trying to figure out which investments we do need to make here in Central Alberta,” he said.

As for timelines, in January, a bid launch information session will be held. In March the 2019 sport selection process will be completed and the official launch of the City’s bid will be next June.

By December 2013, the short-list of bid cities will be announced and in the summer of 2014, if Red Deer makes the short-list, there will be an on-site visit by the Canada Games bid evaluation committee. In the fall of 2014 the announcement of the city who will host the 2019 Canada Winter Games will take place.

Mykytyshyn said in talking with some of the venues who could possibly host events if Red Deer has a successful bid, there is already a sense of excitement about the prospect.

Meanwhile, he added he believes Red Deer is the first to announce its intention of seeking the bid for the 2019 Canada Winter Games. “I haven’t heard of anyone else directly willing to bid. I’m sure there will be other communities interested in bidding.

“But I think we’re probably the first out of the gate in terms of doing this level of research. But you never know, they might just be keeping it to themselves.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Progress being made on permanent exhibition at Museum

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express The progress of a new permanent exhibition at Red Deer’s Museum + Art Gallery continues, as City council heard at their meeting Monday night.

Construction on the $1.5 million project is already well on its way.

“We’ve now crossed over from planning and we have moved into production,” said Lorna Johnson, executive director of the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. “We began construction a couple of weeks ago.”

‘WE’VE NOW CROSSED OVER FROM PLANNING AND WE HAVE MOVED INTO PRODUCTION.’

called Newcomers.

“We will be interviewing 50 newcomers to Red Deer to find out where they came from and to hear their stories,” said Johnson.

About 1,000 artifacts and 500 images and documents will ultimately be featured, and the permanent history exhibition will take up about 4,800 sq. ft. Johnson said the overall design will allow components and artifacts to be refreshed on a regular basis.

The exhibit will open March 25, 2013 to coincide with the City of Red Deer’s centennial and is expected to become a centerpiece for Red Deer, attracting visitors from all over the province and beyond, said Johnson. It also provides a starting point for discovering Red Deer and a way of building a sense of community by sharing the City’s historic roots.

The City of Red Deer has contributed $1 million to the project, but more money is still needed.

A fundraising campaign, entitled ‘Making History’ is being launched to invite members of the business community, individuals and groups to participate in making this exhibit come alive. A goal of $500,000 has been set for the campaign.

As reported to City council Monday night, the MAG has raised $108,639.

Organizers say the campaign’s goal is to secure 100 donations of $2,013. Members of the community are encouraged to contribute and be acknowledged on the donor wall in the permanent exhibition.

For more information, call the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery at 403-309-8405 or visit www.reddeermuseum.com. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

LORNA JOHNSON The exhibit called The Place Between: Stories from the Heart of the Parkland will utilize more than 40% of the facility space. Ten themed components will bring Red Deer’s history to life, showcasing the diverse heritage of Alberta’s third largest city.

The exhibit will consist of four main areas – Unusual Beginnings, Community Spirit, Leaders and Innovators and Our Red Deer. Several themes for other features will be included under each of these key subjects including local education over the years, life in Red Deer and overseas during the war years, arts and sports organizations will be highlighted as well as the agricultural industry among others. There will be a portion specially geared towards children as well, said Johnson.

Incorporated into the new exhibition will be an exhibit

A look back at Red Deer’s first arena The winter months are upon us again.

With the unfortunate exception of NHL professional hockey, attention turns again to the wide array of Canadian winter sports.

In the earliest days of Red Deer, the Red Deer River provided the venue for many of the popular winter pastimes such as skating, curling and hockey. Since the river ice could often be a bit rough, the water reservoirs built by the Canadian Pacific Railway for the steam trains also provided a means to flood the ice and create a better rink surface.

In December 1898, David Linn and H.H. Drake, who

Michael

DAWE owned a local sawmill and lumberyard, decided to create an outdoor rink on the south side of Morrison (52) St. just west of Nanton (48) Ave. On Boxing Day, 1898, the first curling matches were played there. Shortly thereafter, the first hockey games were also played on

the new rink.

The popularity of the outdoor rink, combined with a new spurt of growth in the village, prompted discussion of building a much improved combined skating, curling and hockey facility.

Consequently, a joint stock company, Red Deer Skating and Curling Ltd. was created in the fall of 1899.

Unfortunately, the village, which had a population of less than 300, was still too small for any kind of major venture. The Rink Company failed to get off the ground. Instead, George Love, who had bought out Linn and Drake, sold the small outdoor rink to William Bannerman.

Bannerman made some modest improvements and enlargement of the rink.

However, the winter of 1899-1900 provided to be quite a bit warmer than normal. There was insufficient snow on the ground by the later part of January for sleighing. Some farmers were able to start working the land in late March and the ice went out on the

Red Deer River on April 3.

Hence, while most people welcomed the balmy winter, it made for a poor financial year for Bannerman.

Consequently, he sold the rink to a new outfit, Townley and Bonnyman.

The improved weather, and a pronounced uptick in the western Canadian economy, caused a large influx of new settlers to Red Deer as the new century progressed.

By 1901, Red Deer had grown sufficiently that it was able to be incorporated as a town.

With the growth of the community and emerging economic boom, discussion of constructed a covered skating and curling rink was revived.

A new company, the Red Deer Rink Co. was organized in the fall of 1902. The old rink site was purchased along with an additional block of land.

Work on the new covered rink began in the fall of 1903. There was a 60 by 175 ft. skating surface along with an additional two sheets of curling ice created on the north side

Total cost of the project was $3,000, a fair sum at a time when $1 a day was considered a pretty good wage.

With the completion of the new rink imminent, organized hockey in Red Deer took off. The Central Alberta Hockey League was organized in Red Deer on Nov. 13, 1903, with Carstairs, Didsbury, Olds, Innisfail, Lacombe, Wetaskiwin and Leduc joining the new league. It was agreed that the championship games would be played at the Red Deer rink at the end of the season.

The new rink officially opened with an elaborate ice carnival on Dec. 22, 1903. Almost everyone in the town turned out for the event. Several showed up in costume and prizes were given out for the best

outfits.

The first hockey game in the new facility was played on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, it did not go well for the hometown crowd. The Red Deer team was soundly defeated by Lacombe by a score of 5 to 2. As had been the case with the old outdoor rink, the first curling matches were played at the new rink on Boxing Day. Although the Red Deer Rink proved to be very popular, it was not very well built.

On Feb. 8, 1907, at 2:30 in the morning, the roof collapsed under a heavy weight of snow. Fortunately, the portion of the building used for curling was salvageable and was soon put back into use. However, Red Deer did not get a new covered hockey arena until 1925.

COURT BRIEFS MAN CHARGED WITH MURDERING FATHER APPEARS IN COURT The man accused of murdering his father earlier this month made an appearance in Red Deer provincial court recently.

Aaron Guilbault, 31, made his second appearance in court on Nov. 21.

Family members were also present during his appearance.

Guilbault has been

charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of his father, Timothy Guilbault, 58.

Timothy, a former Red Deer City councillor and Calgary businessman was found dead at his cottage in Red Lodge Estates near Innisfail on Nov. 5.

His daughter Caroline reportedly found him in the home as she was going to tell him about his mother’s failing health.

Timothy’s mother died

Christmas

by Erin Fawcett later that day.

Aaron was arrested in his father’s vehicle near Stettler a few hours after Timothy’s body was discovered, RCMP have said.

Timothy served as a Red Deer City councillor from 1986 to 1995.

In the last number of years he worked in Calgary in the oil service industry and was the vice president of human resources for Brookfield Residential.

Timothy’s funeral was

held in Red Deer on Nov. 14 at CrossRoads Church where hundreds of people attended to pay their respects.

At his court appearance last week, as Aaron was escorted into the courtroom, he scanned the gallery before looking at his family who sat in the front row of the room and he quickly glanced away.

Meanwhile, Aaron returns to Red Deer provincial court Dec. 12.

OPINION Marking Movember As men around the world get ready to shave their moustaches off as ‘Movember’ comes to a close, it’s a reminder of what a terrific cause this really is both as a fundraiser and an awareness-builder.

Locally, participants in the month-long campaign to grow a ‘stache’ and raise funds for prostate cancer research and awareness, will gather this Friday at the official wrap-up event at the Stache Bash 2012 at Chillabongs, starting at 8 p.m.

Although numbers for this year’s event have yet to come in, last year $125.7 million was raised around the world, with 854,288 men signing up for the cause. That’s a far cry from the initiative’s humble beginnings back in 2004, when 450 guys signed up and raised $50,000.

People around the world have since taken up the cause, and Movember is truly an international fundraising success.

According to the web site Movember and Sons, the campaign is also serving as an effective ‘awareness-building’ tool. Ninety per cent of participants say they’ve spent time thinking about improving their health, and 75% say they’ve discussed their health with family, friends or colleagues during Movember.

Also, 35% understood that their health depends on how well they take care of themselves, 66% of participants have had a recent general check-up and 48% of participants carried out personal research on men’s health issues during Movember.

Statistics show that one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. In 2012, 26,500 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and 4,000 will lose their battle.

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men after skin cancer, and the incidence rates are nearly double in African American men.

But if detected and treated early, prostate cancer has a 95% cure rate.

While there are cases of prostate cancer showing up in younger men, it is recommended that men begin an annual screening at age 50 and at age 40 if there is a family history.

Regarding Movember, the movement was launched in 2003 by some guys in Australia who wanted to bring back the moustache into fashion while raising money for prostate cancer research. There are now formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and Ireland.

This is a campaign that has really taken off world-wide, not only with men taking part but women can get involved by becoming a ‘Mo Sista’. Mo Sistas not only help to fundraise for the cause as well, but they also work to build awareness regarding prostate cancer and encourage the ‘Mo Bros’ in their lives to get checked out.

It’s great to see this kind of support, and it’s a unique initiative that everyone can get behind.

The scourge of the ongoing obesity epidemic There’s a common catch phrase used by those championing efforts to prevent childhood obesity: “This may be the first generation of kids to not outlive their parents.” Sounds terrifying – except that, so far, there is little evidence to support this idea.

Arya

SHARMA Over the past decades we have seen a remarkable increase in adult and childhood obesity, yet life expectancy has continued to increase and may well continue to do so.

This is not to say obesity

is not a major driver of health risks. Obese individuals are far more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, sleep apnea and even breast cancer.

But survival of individuals with these conditions continues to increase. In fact, never have so many with these conditions lived to a ‘ripe old age.’

This ‘success’ poses important challenges to our health care system. No doubt obesity will drive some health conditions, but rather than translating into premature deaths, it is far more likely that today’s kids will live even longer – and live longer with chronic diseases – than their parents.

Thus the obesity epidemic’s real burden is an increase in ‘chronic diseases of the young.’ This has implications for both

our workforce and for our health care system.

For the workforce, this means more employees will be living with obesity and the resulting increase in diabetes, hypertension sleep apnea, arthritis and other chronic conditions.

While these conditions can be managed, the resources and the delivery of health care cannot remain the same as it is today for the ‘chronic diseases of the elderly.’

While the retiring babyboomers with these conditions can perhaps afford to sit around in waiting rooms for their appointments, younger workers will be unable to leave their workplace as often as would be required for the management of their conditions.

Indeed, success of managing chronic conditions is directly related to the num-

ber of visits with a health professional – the more frequent and regular these visits, the better the condition tends to be controlled.

So our system will need to adapt to providing regular visits to a large proportion of the workforce, which can ill afford to take time off for lengthy daytime consultations.

We need to open community chronic care clinics after hours; we need to relocate chronic care clinics to the workplace and we need to use technology to deliver disease management programs to employees.

It is unlikely the first option will acceptable to most professionals. A far better approach would be to relocate chronic care clinics to our places of employment, making it possible for employees to consult with a professional during the The Red Deer Express is a proud newspaper of

course of their work day.

It is not the length but the frequency of such encounters that matter. Simply stepping on a scale, having your blood pressure taken or your glucose levels checked with a quick word of encouragement from a professional is often enough to keep patients on track. Finally, electronic communication, including telehealth consultations, that employees can participate in from their desk computer or handheld devices could replace frequent and expensive visits to a professional.

The sooner our governments and employers prepare for this obesitydriven epidemic of ‘chronic diseases of the young,’ the more likely we will be able to avoid the complications of these conditions – and save our health care

system. This should, of course, not distract from obesity prevention, but even the most optimistic forecasts do not foresee any significant reduction in the number of Canadians living with obesity and related health problems, at least well into the middle of this century.

Not preparing for the expected consequences of the epidemic will burden the health care system and impact the productivity of our workforce. All of this can be avoided by changing how we deliver health care – taking chronic disease management directly to the community – and providing care at the workplace.

Letters to the editor

Local reader provides more input on bringing in a ward system I have been informed by City Hall that in order to get City council to have a plebiscite on creating a ward system that I would need to have 10,000 average voters in the City of Red Deer sign a petition in a 60 day period.

The question asked is was there a 10,000 signature petition that gave us the infamous, often controversial bike lanes, or was it a handful of highly influential insiders that saw the expensive bike lane experiment implemented?

The bike lanes is one topic that has been brought up since I offered my thoughts on creating a ward system in hopes of achieving real representation since many have suggested that our City’s elected officials do not respond to the needs of citizens and that non-responses have become almost legendary.

We have nine elected officials, one mayor and eight councillors. Only one north of the river, only one west of Taylor Dr. We have five living in the southeast portion of City; we have seven living south of the river and east of Gaetz. Why not have a ward system with two elected representatives in each ward?

The at-large system favours the incumbents during the elections so it is a conflict of interests for City council to arbitrarily decide the outcome. The system allows us access to all councillors and what happens if you do not like your representatives? We vote them out in the next election, same as our MLAs and MPs. We have to contact all nine elected officials and hope for a returned call if we have an issue. Can you imagine if the province or the country followed this? You would have to contact 83 MLAs and over 300 MPs and hope for a call.

The City Hall reps suggest they are too busy to answer calls and mail and they assume someone else will. They

City Speak S T E P H A N CHRIS

This week, Express reporter Erin Fawcett has asked Councillor Chris Stephan questions regarding what he thinks the City’s priorities should be in 2013.

Council has just passed the capital budget for 2013, and will consider the operating budget in January.

What should the City of Red Deer’s priorities be for 2013?

“The City has some important budget considerations in 2013. We need to address crime in our community and our shortage of police officers. Our police officer staffing numbers are well below the provincial and national averages, while our crime rate is well above the provincial and national averages. For the most part, I believe Red Deer is a safe community, but we need to invest in both crime prevention and enforcement,” said Stephan. “I also believe we should be investing more in road repair and snow removal. We hear from citizens all the time that this is where they want their tax dollars spent more than anywhere else. We made some substantial improvements the last couple years in terms of road reconstruction and repair, but there is still a lot of work to do.”

What else will the City be focusing on next year?

“2013 is a special year for our city as it marks our 100th year since incorporation. One of our priorities is to celebrate Red Deer and all the things that make Red Deer great. Throughout the year there will be centennial celebrations and events. Many of these events are being sponsored by local businesses. I think 2013 will be a great year for Red Deer, and I am looking forward to being a part of it,” said Stephan.

may have to time off from work to go to meetings if they are held responsible for issues and neighbourhoods. What are they getting paid for? Even among the councillors there is tension about the perceived efforts of some of their co-council members.

We may not need a ward system if City Hall had a formal structure that would assure a timely response and a known entity to contact if you had a problem instead of a list of nine? Concentration of power at City Hall? That may explain the differences in spending comparing the southeast sector with the northwest sector of the City?

The bike lanes are another example. The issues include need, practicality, costs, planning, implementation and timing, and councillors will say there were too many com-

plaints for them to keep up with so (they) quit responding.

In a ward system councillors would have a fraction the calls and requests and could have the time to reply.

I thought that we have eight councillors, so four wards would be appropriate but I have been apprised they are considering full-time councillors and there is also a push to have just six full-time councillors. I never saw any 10,000 signed petitions asking for full-time councillors.

Next year there is an election so why not have a plebiscite at the same time about the wishes of the voters in regard to the ward system and whether we should have full-times councillors? Just ask the voters.

Successful year for Festival of Trees

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express Officials are deeming this year’s Festival of Trees a success.

The 19th annual event wrapped up on Sunday at Westerner Park and Alaine Martin, project officer for Alberta Health Services, said the entire event seemed to go off well.

“The changes we made seemed to be very well received. The new configuration of Candy Cane lane was much better,” she said.

Another big change officials made to this year’s event was holding The Festival Lights the Night (formerly referred to as The Biggest Tree Festival) on a Saturday instead of on a week night like it was done in the past.

“Moving that event to the Saturday night was the best decision we made. More people were able to attend the event with it not happening on a workday. And with us offering the prize money for the Santa Claus Parade this year, we saw an increase in entries as well.”

Although the amount raised has yet to be announced, Martin said she expects the number to be similar to last year. Last year, $1,020,000 was raised at the event and more than 23,700 guests walked through the doors.

“Our attendance was on par with what it was last year, so I would expect we raised a similar amount to last year.”

For nearly two decades, the Festival of Trees has provided festive activities to the community in support of the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. Since its beginnings, the Festival of Trees has raised more than $8.2 million to enhance health care at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

Proceeds raised from the 2012 Festival of Trees will go towards upgrading equipment and technology for Laboratory Services, Department of Histopathology.

This new technology and equipment will help increase the capacity to maintain acceptable timelines for laboratory testing for the growing needs at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

POLICE BRIEFS POLICE WARN OF COUNTERFEIT MONEY Throughout the last month a number of Red Deer businesses have been victimized by individuals passing counterfeit American currency.

The bills are taken in payment for items and have been accepted by several Red Deer businesses.

The businesses are accepting the bills as legal tender and the fraud is not reported until the money is deposited with the bank.

The counterfeit bills are described as $20, $50 and $100 denominations, having a different ‘feel’ than a regular bill, the colours are reversed (green where the bill should be white) and the serial number on the bills are the same.

The RCMP offer the following tips when dealing with currency.

Touch the bill, tilt the bill, looking at the hologram, ensure the number within matches the denomination of the bill and look through the bill.

There are many security features that are visible on real bills including serial numbers and no two are the same in colour.

As well, ensure it is consistent.

When taking currency as a form of payment, if something looks suspicious on the bill, police say to request an alternate bill or form of payment, do not take it as payment and report it to the RCMP. For more information about currency and counterfeiting, refer to the Bank of Canada web site at www. bankofcanada.ca.

Investigators ask that anyone with information regarding this crime contact Red Deer City RCMP at 403-3435575.

Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www. tipsubmit.com.

If the information leads to an arrest, tipsters are eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

RCMP INVESTIGATES STABBING RCMP are on the lookout for those involved in a stabbing in downtown Red Deer recently.

On Nov. 16th at 1:38 a.m.

Red Deer City RCMP responded to a complaint of a stabbing on the street near the X-Static Night Club, 4605 50th Ave. It is alleged that a physical dispute between a large group of males resulted in a 25-year-old man being stabbed.

Immediately after the stabbing, the suspect, a 2325 year old male jumped into a blue or green truck and fled the seen. The only other person seen in the truck was a brunette female.

The victim of the stabbing was taken to Red Deer Regional Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Red Deer City RCMP at 403-343-5575.

2011, the Riverside Meadows Community Association commissioned local artists Brian McArthur and Dawn Detarando of Voyager Art and Tile to design and fabricate a piece of art as a centennial legacy project.

“We felt it was really important to have a centennial legacy for future generations to enjoy,” said Shirley Hocken, chair of the Village of North Red Deer Centennial Steering Committee.

The bench has been sculpted in the shape of logs, and incorporates a glass tile mosaic of an early 19th century steam driven train, which recognizes the impor-

tance the arrival of the railway had in the development of North Red Deer and Central Alberta as a whole.

Riverside Meadows Community Association received funding for the bench from the Alberta Culture Community Initiatives Program and the City of Red Deer Public Art Reserve. This is the first community-driven public art project to receive funding from the City’s Public Art Reserve.

In 1911 the hamlet of North Red Deer was incorporated as the Village of North Red Deer. It remained an independent municipality until 1948.

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PUBLIC ART PIECE The Riverside Meadows Community Association recently presented a ceramic sculpted bench that was commissioned to celebrate the 2011 centennial of the Village of North Red Deer.

A ceremony took place at the north side of the CPR bridge and marked the transfer of the bench to the City’s art collection.

Red Deer Hospice chosen as a 2012 ‘top pick’ charity

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Red Deer Hospice has been included in Charity Intelligence Canada’s annual Top Picks report, which identifies 45 outstanding charities nation-wide.

Charities are selected after going through a rigorous assessment process including financial analysis, management interviews, and an examination of social results.

Finally, through benchmarking relative to similar charities across Canada, Top Pick Charities are identified for their high social returns on donations.

Red Deer Hospice learned they were on Charity Intelligence’s radar back in June, said Marian Cloutier, fund development and marketing coordinator.

In total, 255 charities were contacted and 95 of them submitted information. The final report is broken up into several categories. The Red Deer Hospice is a home for the terminally ill and provides a quiet and caring environment for individuals who are at the end of life’s journey, a home away from home.

“We had to provide them with quite a bit of information, and then they did an interview with the management,” she said.

“We then waited four or five weeks for the results.”

Cloutier said the recognition is wonderful, and the work to provide Charity Intelligence the material they were looking for was a worthwhile endeavour as well.

“It took lot of work to put together what they were looking for, because we track things in different ways. Brenda Watts (the Hospice executive director) said that right from the get-go it was a learning exercise.

If we happen to make it in the report, great. If we didn’t, we would know that we had learned a lot along the way. It would be a positive experience no matter what.

“It’s a feather in our cap because we work very hard to be efficient and steward our donor’s money effectively.”

Charity Intelligence Canada aims to provides evidence-based research and standardized analysis on charities to help donors make intelligent, more strategic giving decisions.

“This year’s Top Pick Charities have proven that they are both efficient and effective,” said Greg Thomson, director of research at Charity Intelligence.

“They are not only able to run their operations cost efficiently, but more importantly, they produce bottom-line results in enhancing the lives of their clients. For donors who are looking for the most impact from their giving, these charities are ones to invest in.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Red Deer College lands endowment donation Red Deer College has received a $250,000 endowment from Bruce Snider, a late community resident.

The endowment is for aboriginal students attending RDC. “Committing to a legacy investment from one’s own estate is the ultimate gift and speaks to a truly generous spirit,” said Michael Donlevy, vice president, RDC community relations.

“When Mr. Snider first

approached us to establish this planned gift, he clearly conveyed that he valued education and was committed to student success, particularly aboriginal students.

We are very grateful for his incredible gift to RDC that will carry on a legacy for many years to come.”

Snider of Red Deer passed away in September of 2011 at the age of 94. He was born in Calgary and as a young man served in the

Canadian Armed Forces.

He met the love of his life, Juanita, and they married in 1947.

Together they owned and operated dog grooming/ kennel businesses in Calgary and B.C. Bruce not only received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Calgary, but went on to earn a Master of Arts at the age of 50.

A favourite past time of

Bruce’s was to hike with his son Kurt up the west coast and up to the Yukon.

Bruce had a great love and respect for Aboriginal people, and also enjoyed sports, especially a game of golf with friends, or billiards at the Corner Pocket.

The Bruce Snider Scholarship for Aboriginal Students awards up to $2,500 to two students entering their first year, in any program.

To be eligible, the students

must show leadership in advancing the culture of the aboriginal community.

This scholarship is currently available for application.

“His thesis on aboriginal people showed his love and

devotion to Canada and its native people. He was an incredible, man much loved by his family who remember him well and miss him greatly,” said Bruce’s niece, Christine Hyde.

‘Sockey Night’ a success As of this past Monday, $1,460,138 or 73% of this year’s United Way fundraising goal has been achieved.

To add to the growing success of Campaign, United Way also held their fourth annual Sockey Night in Red Deer last weekend in partnership with the Red Deer Rebels and the Red Deer Oilmen’s Society.

During second intermission of the Rebels game on Saturday evening, hockey fans were encouraged to throw socks onto the ice, which were then collected by United Way volunteers.

Thanks to the support of so many caring community members, volunteers and sponsors, United Way is able to donate a total of 1,600 socks to five local charities including Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society, Central Alberta AIDS Network Society, Red Deer Clothing Bank, Canadian Mental Health Association and Safe Harbor Society.

“We saw the community really get behind this event.

There is something inherently appealing about taking something very tangible like hundreds of pairs of socks and knowing that they are going to help keep people warm this winter,” said Robert Mitchell, CEO United Way of Central Alberta.

Sockey Night in Red Deer also raised more than $11,000 towards the 2012 United Way Community Campaign.

“We love this partnership with the Rebels because it brings awareness to the needs in the community and collects socks to meet some of those needs. We know that socks aren’t always enough, which is why we are working so hard to reach this year’s campaign goal,” said John Knoch, 2012 volunteer campaign co-chair.

This year the Red Deer Oilmen’s Society also came on as a major sponsor.

“We were able to see an alignment in what our organization’s interests are and one of United Way’s investment areas; building strong communities and healthy people. We were motivated to partner with United Way on this event because we know that our donation will have direct impact in the community,” said Patrick Wigmore, Red Deer Oilmen’s board member.

The money raised through sock and raffle sales will go put directly back into the community and provides consistent funding to over 30 programs and services in Central Alberta.

Last year, 16,880 low income families and communities members received food, clothing and shelter to meet their basic needs.

A Magical Family Tradition

Ups and downs in RDC’s production of children’s classic Peter Pan

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Opening with a promise of magical adventure, Red Deer College theatre studies’ production of Peter Pan hits the mark in most ways.

Shows run tonight through Dec. 1 with curtain at 7:30 p.m. There is also a matinee on Dec. 1 at 1 p.m.

Penned by J.M. Barrie, the tale, directed by Thomas Usher, is universally recognized for its charming, magical feel. Kids and adults alike get swept up in the story, about a London family whose children embark on an adventure in mysterious Neverland.

When Mr. and Mrs. Darling go out for the evening, an unexpected adventure ensues as the children fall asleep. Peter Pan, who can fly with fairies, fight like a pirate, swim with mermaids and crow with

abandon appears. The kids literally ‘fly’ out the nursery window on an unforgettable adventure.

Neverland turns out to be a mystical island where a person never grows up.

But before the children can return home, they are captured by Captain Hook and his band of followers.

For the most part, the production works nicely.

The cast is terrific, especially Brooke Dalton as Peter Pan. She lights up every single scene she is in with her bright, expressive interpretation of the character. The children are also fabulous – Jennifer Engler as Wendy, Halee Pierog as Michael and Brayden Scobie as John. Each capture the innocence, wonderment and excitement that are intrinsic parts of being a child. The parents, Cassy Johnston and Glenndl Miguel (who also play the parts of Tiger Lilly and Hook respectively) are also really enjoyable to watch.

And Dylan Hopkins does a delightful job as the very

responsible family dog Nana.

Opening night is, in my view, not always the best night to judge the merits of a show.

Timing can lag, props may not work as smoothly as planned, nerves may be a bit frazzled. Some of those problems were evident. But there was also the matter of pacing – things start with a bang as the show opens. We are drawn into the Edwardian feel of the Darling’s home, we are introduced to the loving family. Peter Pan makes a magical entrance with Tinkerbell. The set, designed by Colin Winslow, makes everything accessible and believable from the nursery to Neverland.

Angela Dale has also done wonders with costume design, covering the feel and formalities of 1904 London to the colour of Neverland.

Then oddly, when we arrive at Neverland, things don’t feel magical. The play stalls at this point in overlong scenes, stretches of dia-

logue and little to really grab the audience and pull them in. The sense of wonder and promise evident at the play’s beginning was impeded by gaps of time passing with not much going on to really engage the audience.

Fortunately, the energy kicks in following intermission as the kids face off against Hook, and the play winds its way to a close back home in London.

So aside from some lengthy stretches and pacing snags, the show is well done – Usher certainly knows how to get his actors serious about doing their best.

Each performance is great.

And again, not enough can be said about Dalton’s approach to capturing the fun and the essence of Peter Pan – the child who resolutely opts for boyhood and the promise of non-stop adventure it brings.

ENTERTAINMENT Dance troupes team up for classic children’s story Group to stage C.S. Lewis masterpiece The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express A classic and timeless tale will be told on a Red Deer stage next month.

Joy’s School of Dance and Danceway 21 Studio will stage Narnia Dec. 8 at the Red Deer College Arts Centre mainstage. Performances are set for 2 and 7 p.m.

“We are very excited to do this production. The dancers have all worked very hard and have shown so much commitment. We’ve joined with another studio to put this on which is great,” said Joy McIlwain, owner and dance instructor at Joy’s School of Dance. “It shows the dancers that dancing is not all about competition and studio going against studio, it’s about joining together to perform as a group and to make friends as well.”

The idea for the production came after the studio performed a short 10-minute version of production about four years ago for competition.

“It was a very condensed version of the production, and we thought it could be so much more. We wanted to expand it and invite an audience to come and join us on this journey,” said McIlwain.

According to Wikipedia, The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels by C.S. Lewis.

It is considered a classic of children’s literature and is the author’s best known work, having sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages. Written by Lewis between 1949 and 1954, illustrated by Pauline Baynes and originally published in London between October 1950 and March 1956, The Chronicles of Narnia has been adapted several times, complete or in part, for radio, television, the stage and film.

Set in the realm of Narnia, a fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts and talking animals, the series narrates the adventures of various children who play roles in the unfolding history of that world. Of all the books, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, is perhaps one of the most popular and re-created of them all. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, completed by the end of March 1949 and published in 1950, tells the story of four children - Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucie Pevensie. They discover a wardrobe in Professor Digory

THE WARDROBE – From left, Dalene McIlwain, Sidney Lischer, 11, Brynn Keffen, 11, and Courtney Smith, 18, prepare for their upcoming Tanis Reid/Red Deer Express performances in Narnia. Two shows run Dec. 8 on the Red Deer College Arts Centre mainstage.

Kirke’s house that leads to Narnia.

The Pevensie children help Aslan, a talking lion, save Narnia from the evil White Witch, who has reigned over the land of Narnia for a century of perpetual winter.

The children become kings and queens of this new found land and establish the Golden Age of Narnia, leaving a legacy to be rediscovered in later books.

“We had the light post and a beautiful Christmas tree that was covered in frost. When the two were side-by-side it

screamed Narnia and that is where it started. We built the wardrobe out of scaffolding and parents of the dancers have been sewing costumes,” said McIlwain.

She added although the show is predominately danced in ballet, there will be other styles showcased as well. “We tried to include a variety of styles of dance into the show to help portray the various characters,” said McIlwain. “The dancers also enjoy trying new styles of dance and it helps to broaden what they can do.”

There are about 50 people in the cast ranging in age of eight years and up, which are made up of up dancers from Joy’s School of Dance in Innisfail and Danceway 21 out of Trochu. They’ve been rehearsing for the performances since September.

CAT presents pleasant holiday show with My Three Angels

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Central Alberta Theatre is serving up a pleasant treat with its seasonal production of My Three Angels.

Directed by Heather Shatford, the production continues its run at the Memorial Centre Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 6-7 with curtain at 7:30 p.m. A matinee performance runs Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. as well.

In Samuel and Bella Spewack’s comedy, set in 1910, Joseph, Jules and Alfred aren’t having much of a Christmas.

Played by Martin Kvapil, Michael Sutherland and Konstantin Vorosmarty respectively, they are Devil’s Island convicts on a work-release program, spending the holiday fixing the roof at the Ducotels’

home near French Guiana.

But that hole in the roof is a gateway to some fascinating information on the family inside. They learn that Felix (perfectly captured in Ron Vocke’s engaging interpretation), the husband and father, is a nice guy but an awful businessman.

Thickening the plot further is that a bossy, evil-minded cousin Henri (Jeff Challoner) is coming from France to oust the father of the family from his business, and his self-absorbed nephew Paul (Quentin Coish) who is jilting the father’s sweet daughter, Marie Louise (Tori Darr), for an heiress.

The prisoners, good-hearted chaps in spite of their past crimes, decide to help solve the family’s problems via their own devious, hilarious tactics.

Shatford has nicely brought out the best in her cast, who bring various levels of experience to the show. Challoner can always be counted on to stir up lots of laughs with his sharp, well-timed performances. The same can be said for Sutherland – always fun to watch with his energetic, expressive approach to nailing virtually every character he plays.

Also deserving of special attention is Nicole Orr as Emilie, Felix’s wife. Orr is a joy to watch – punctuating every line she says with plenty of vigour. Challoner, Sutherland and Orr are all confident actors, and it shows. They’re having fun with their roles, making them connect that much more with audiences.

That said, pretty everyone else does just fine, too. Kvapil and Vorosmarty are great

as the other two convicts, and Darr is solid as the charming Marie Louise. There’s a tentativeness with some of the less experienced actors, but as the performances roll on hopefully that will be cleared up. Travis Johnson and Rachelle McComb (as the lieutenant and Madame Parole) are also good in their roles, although with comparatively minor parts they don’t have a whole lot to do.

A warm, nicely designed set adds much to the show’s success as well. Ultimately, Shatford deserves credit for building a gently entertaining show, bringing out the nuances of a smartly-written script.

Friday December 7 | Mainstage | 7:30 PM Featuring the RDC Chamber Choir and the Symphonic Winds The perfect start to your holiday season, the annual Christmas Concert will bestow holiday spirit into the grumpiest Scrooge.

Performed by the Symphonic Winds and Chamber Choir this concert is full of your favourite traditional carols plus a spattering of lesser known pieces and the traditional Christmas carol sing-along.

Everyone seems to be raving about how good Life of Pi is and this reviewer is part of the crowd. Reading Canadian writer Yann Martel’s 2001 book when it came out, one never thought it could be made into a movie. But writer David Magee and director Ang Lee have done it. And

an excellent movie it is.

The story involves a young Indian boy named Pi (wonderfully played by Suraj Sharma in most of the movie) travelling on a freighter from India to Canada. His family ran a zoo in Pondicherry, India, but decided to sell the animals and move to Montreal.

Some of the animals are on the freighter too, and when the ship sinks in a storm Pi ends up on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker floating across the Pacific.

They survive for 227 days before being washed ashore. There’s also a magical interlude on a floating island covered with meerkats. One assumes many of the sequences with the tiger use special effects and not a real tiger, but you

can’t tell. That tiger seems very real and how they coexist is fascinating.

Life of Pi works on whatever level you wish to take it. You can take it literally, or as an allegory. Anyway, it is wonderful storytelling.

This is also one of the most beautiful films in recent years. The photography, editing and even the 3D effects are enormously well done. It should be nominated for and win Oscars.

CREATIVE MIND - Darren Havelock, a member of the Rocky Mountain Model Club, came to Red Deer this past weekend for the Red Deer Model Train and Hobby Show to show off and work on Tanis Reid/Red Deer Express some of his creations.

Five reasons why you aren’t losing weight There are few things more frustrating than not being able to lose weight.

You want to be slimmer and to tone your body, but your weight won’t budge. Sometime though, it’s not the amount of cardio you do or which exercise you bust out but more of a mindset.

Take a look at these mental roadblocks and apply them to yourself to discover what is standing in your way and how to quickly and easily begin your weight loss.

Blocker #1: Your mind Your mind is your number one ally when it comes to achieving your goals.

However, until your mind has been programmed for success, it will do more to derail your efforts than to

JACK

WEELER help you. Take a few moments each day to visualize yourself at your ideal weight. Imagine how it feels to look the way you’ve always wanted.

Protect your mind from any negative self talk. If a negative thought comes to mind, reject it. You want to be thin and fit and yet you think of yourself as out-ofshape and fat. Re-program your mind to think of your-

self as fit and attractive, and you will be on your way toward achieving your goal.

Blocker #2: Your fear Change makes most of us nervous. You may not be consciously aware of the fear you have of getting into shape. Until you conquer this fear, your weight loss efforts will be blocked by self sabotage.

Professional speaker and author Anthony Robbins has outlined three specific beliefs that you must have in order to conquer your fear and create a lasting change. Believe something must change. You can’t be wishy-washy about it. Believe that you must change it. Other people will prove

to be great assets in your journey, but in the end you are the one who is going to make it happen. You have to want this weight loss enough to make it your mission.

Believe you can change it. You may have failed in the past, but that doesn’t matter. When you put your mind to it, you’re able to do amazing things.

Blocker #3: Your excuses Your excuses for being out of shape are getting old.

An excuse takes less immediate effort than an action, but in the long run the action taker always has the advantage. Don’t allow excuses to ruin your life any longer. Remember that you can only have two things

in life: excuses or results.

Which do you want?

Blocker #4: Your commitment How many times have you tried to lose weight, only to give up a week or two later? Treat exercise with the same importance as a work meeting and you’ll never skip it. Find three 60-minute time slots in your schedule and mark them (in pen) on your calendar.

Blocker #5: Your patience It takes time to transform your body from fat to fit. Remind yourself that it took time to put the weight on, so it will take time to take the weight off. When you find your patience waver-

ing, or when you encounter a plateau, do the following: Review your goal. Is it specific and measurable?

Is it small and attainable, rather than monumental?

Focus on your goal when the going gets tough.

Challenge your body with different resistance, new exercises and a varied pace. Remember that anyone can have one great workout, but that won’t get you the body you want. The only way to achieve your goal is by consistently exercising and eating right, plain and simple.

What will I do if I get influenza or step on a rattlesnake?

“Dear Dr. Gifford-Jones, should I agree to a flu shot this year?” Fear of this vaccine has been triggered by recent newspaper accounts of impurities found in some products. Although they are unfounded, every year

some people still refuse the shot. When that’s the case, they should learn how Dr. Frederick R. Klenner saved many patients from life-threatening viral infections, and the bite of a rattlesnake.

Why Dr. Klenner was never given the Nobel Prize in medicine is hard to understand. He was a family doctor in North Carolina.

Unfortunately he wasn’t my doctor when I awakened one morning with the

worst headache I’d ever experienced. I was in my final year at The Harvard Medical School and later that day I couldn’t move my legs. The diagnosis was poliomyelitis.

Dr. Gifford

JONES World-esteemed professors were close and available to treat me. But there was a problem. The polio vaccine wasn’t invented at that time. All they could do was watch the paralysis increase.

What Klenner would have prescribed will shock you. In 1949 he reported momentous news to a meeting of the American Medical Association. During an epidemic of polio the year before he had cured 60 out of 60 patients suffering from this disease by using massive amounts of Vitamin C, in some cases 300,000 milligrams (mg) of C daily. None of these patients were left with paralysis. Today, the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C is a mere 90 mg.

How a large group of American doctors could ignore this outstanding achievement boggles the

mind. What is more unbelievable is that decades later it is still collecting dust.

This is in spite of the fact that this was only one of Klenner’s findings.

In ‘The Clinical Guide to the use of Vitamin C’, Dr. Lendon Smith details the experiences of Dr. Klenner.

He reports that Dr. Klenner had cured case after case of viral disease by huge doses of C. For instance, 60 years ago a seven year old boy had been ill for six weeks due to recurring attacks of influenza. He had been treated with sulfa, penicillin and small amounts of Vitamin C, but suddenly he slipped into coma. Dr. Klenner quickly gave him an intravenous injection of 6,000 mg of Vitamin C. Five minutes later he was awake. He received further injections and fully recovered in 24 hours. The patient was Dr. Klenner’s son.

Klenner also reported, in the journal Southern Medicine and Surgery, that injections of Vitamin C had cured 42 cases of viral pneumonia. Later, in the same journal he reported that Vitamin C could cure measles and chicken pox in 24 hours. He also proved that patients suffering from acute and chronic hepatitis could have liver function tests return to normal after seven days of being treated with intravenous Vitamin C. And for the bite of a rat-

tlesnake 60,000 mg can save a life.

This lack of recognition of new ideas is not new.

Semmelweiss was ridiculed when he told doctors in Vienna that simply washing hands would save pregnant women from dying of puerperal sepsis. Closed minds have caused countless deaths.

Fortunately, by sheer luck, I was left with minimal loss of muscle function after months of therapy.

I had no idea at that time that years later Drs. Linus Pauling and Bush would show that high doses of Vitamin C and lysine could also prevent heart attack.

This combination powder, called Medi-C Plus, is now available at Health Food Stores and could save thousands of lives.

It’s tragic that since reporting the value of MediC Plus, not a single cardiologist has supported this natural treatment. But humans are rarely receptive to new ideas.

I’ve had my flu shot because suffering from the flu is no fun. Influenza is like being hit by a 10-ton truck.

It kills about 40,000 North Americans every year. But since a flu shot is not 100% effective, I won’t forget Dr. Klenner’s advice if I develop full-blown influenza, or happen to step on a rattlesnake.

SPORTS Sutter settles into expanded role with Rebels

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Brent Sutter wears many hats when it comes to the Red Deer Rebels organization and the recent change behind the bench appears to have started with the general manager hat firmly in place.

“It was very obvious in training camp that two things we lacked in were we lacked in size and we lacked in skill,” he said. “So I had to be proactive as a GM to go out and find us some skilled players.”

A dizzying array of moves saw younger players moved in and out of the lineup as well as team captain Adam Kambeitz shipped off to Saskatoon.

More players were brought in as Sutter formed what he felt was the team he had envisioned and while he provided the fuel to run the bus the coaching staff led by Jesse Wallin were still doing the driving.

“It was still his (Wallin) team and he was the head coach and he had to be able to coach the team the way he wanted and I allowed him to do that and rightly so,” said Sutter.

“But when it’s not working you have to evaluate it and we evaluated it and Jesse and I sat down and had conversations about it and then ultimately I had to make my decision,” he said.

Sutter admits it was a difficult conversation with a good friend but he was now wearing the owner’s hat and so the organization’s future was placed at the top of the agenda.

Sutter is well aware of the large number of coaches and general managers sitting in the seats at the Enmax Centrium on game nights but he embraces that as opposed to getting defensive about his decisions.

“It’s our culture in Canada. Everyone is a coach and everyone is a manager and that’s just the way it is,” he said.

Moving forward Sutter says some aspects of the team at the start of the season will stay the same and he credits Wallin and Bryce Thoma for their contributions in those areas but he will also put his mark on the team even if he’s wearing an interim coaching hat at this point in the season.

“I see things a little bit differently on the offensive side of the game and being able to create more and the way the game is played today,” he said.

“Putting more excitement, putting more energy in your game and that’s just my

feelings on it as a coach.”

Captain Turner Elson says he still has respect for his former coach but quickly added a change was required.

“There’s different plays, there’s different styles of game we’re playing,” he said.

“Brent is all about go, go, go and we’re going to be a forceful team and we’re always going to be on our toes and Jesse was trying to create that but the guys were just not

buying into it.”

Sutter explained there was not a single factor like the players tuning out the coach or a difficult start to the season -- losing six straight exhibition games and the first three regular season games -- which tipped the scales in any way.

He is now wearing the coaching hat and figures the team hitting the ice now is a closer reflection of what he had formulat-

ed in his mind at the start of the year but it is still a work in progress as the Rebels look towards the final goal of a Memorial Cup. “It’s just young guys. You’ve got to develop and be patient with them and then again you’ve got to make them feel like they can be part of the solution and not be the problem.” sports@reddeerexpress.com

Two RDC teams tops in nation

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express We’re number one! It’s a cheer which now applies to not one but two Red College teams as the Kings basketball and volleyball teams are ranked first overall across Canada, the first time in the school’s history this has happened. “There’s been a couple of times I believe where we might have had men’s volleyball and women’s volleyball ranked number one,” said Director of Athletics Keith Hansen. The former Kings volleyball head coach says it was a feeling of

pride when those rankings were released showing two of the teams under his reign as director at the top.

“We all know the final rankings are the ones that matter but I think it speaks volumes for the job the coaches have done and the support we get from administration here within our athletic program.”

Hansen also points out two other teams at RDC who are doing very well this year with the Queens hockey team topping the standings and Queens volleyball getting stronger after a slow start to the season.

“I think our women’s hockey team,

if there was a national championship in women’s hockey which hopefully will be there in the next few years, they would be number one in the country. And women’s volleyball right now is ranked 11, I think probably we’re top five for sure.”

Hansen added the crowds at home games has grown steadily and there is a feeling of pride amongst the students. “People like to identify with winning teams and successful programs so we have a lot of support in that way and I hope some of the other students feel that source of pride as sports@reddeerexpress.com well.”

Claggett’s thoughts on the Grey Cup So another chapter in Canadian football history was written this past weekend with the 100th Grey Cup as the Argos dominated the Stamps to win cup #16.

As far as the game went it was a matter of Toronto showing more than the Stamps not showing much at all other than a return man who was their best player.

You could make a case for the Stamps coaching staff being outcoached by the Argos brain trust and

Feel Fabulous This Season

Get the facts on skin care tips ging and wrinkling. Although the skin is quite elastic and resilient, as one ages and skin dries out and becomes more delicate, it may be susceptible to more damage.

Select soft cleansing pads or washcloths for washing your face and body. Avoid harsh soaps that can strip the skin of essential oils, unless you have a condition that requires the use of such cleansers. After showering, pat down skin so that some moisture remains on your body and apply a moisturizer to keep it locked in.

When shaving, be sure to do so gently, avoiding tugging on the skin and shave in the direction the hair grows. Always use a sharp razor to avoid nicks and irritation. Keep in mind that shaving may be a more gentle method of hair removal than depilatory creams or waxing. Contrary to popular belief, shaving does not cause hair to come back thicker or darker. At the initial grow-back period, the hair ends may be blunt, which could give the appearance of thicker hair. But your hair really isn’t more thick.

Quit smoking Smoking has many negative consequences, including the ability to wrinkle and damage the skin. According to the

Mayo Clinic, the repetitive action of pursing the lips to draw on the cigarette and also squinting the eyes against the smoke can lead to deep lines and wrinkles.

There is also something more sinister taking effect as well. Smoking is known to narrow the blood vessels in the body, including the tiny capillaries that are found in the outermost layers of skin. Lack of blood flow also means lack of oxygen and nutrients reaching the skin to keep it healthy. Smoking also may damage collagen and elastin -- the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity.

Furthermore, the tar in cigarette smoke can stain the skin, giving a yellowish appearance.

Manage stress Too much stress can take its toll on your body.

In addition to causing lack of sleep, which can make the skin look tired, stress can cause hormonal changes that lead to breakouts and even hives.

Slow down your pace and take steps to reduce stress.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and, at times, it can seem invincible. However, skin is not immune to disease or other conditions, so men and women should emphasize skin care as part of their grooming routine.

With so many tips and tricks associated with skin care, it can sometimes be confusing to discern the help from the hype. While there are many worthwhile products on the market, many others are ineffective and simply not worth the price tag. However, certain care suggestions are universal and can help keep skin in top form.

Protect your skin The most important thing you can do for your skin is to protect it from the sun. More than 2 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancer are diagnosed year. Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, will account for more than 75,000 cases of skin cancer in 2012.

Using a sunscreen product and limiting time in the sun during the peak hours of the highest exposure to UV rays (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) are the two steps that can dramatically reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.

There is also special sunprotective clothing that can help block UV rays.

Wearing wide-brimmed hats and long sleeves and pants also can protect the skin.

Be gentle on your skin Tugging, rubbing and pulling on the skin can eventually lead to sag-

Available Bachelorette Loni is 32, 5’7, 131 lbs., never married, no children - except for Casper, a “big brute of a dog” she loves to affectionately call him. Loni is slim, works out, rides her bike each morning, takes a spin class in the afternoon and knows that if she has a permanent relationship, she would not be such an exercise junkie.

I hate coming home & turning on the lights and there is no one there - I love to see Casper, but it’s not the same. I would love to be cooking in the kitchen each evening waiting for my significant other to come through the door and say “I am home, honey - what’s for dinner?”

LOL The last couple of years have been hard for me. I had just paid down my university debt, and I moved in with my boyfriend to a brand new house. He lost his job two months after we moved in and I supported us for almost a year. He finally got an engineering job, moved away and left me for another woman and said “you can keep Casper if you want. I have no room for him anyway; the dog always liked you more than me anyway”. Then my business partner was diagnosed with breast cancer, so I did my best to buy her out. My business partner is doing great now! I can’t help but wipe the tears from my cheeks when I think of how brave she has been the last 14 months. It’s been a journey, let me tell you.

I call her every day and I see her every weekend.

She loves Casper so she likes to walk him - anything I can do for her I will. The spa is doing very well and we raised over $10,000 for breast cancer awareness from my salon. Despite all the turmoil in my life, my business has grown 80% and I have just opened another location. I have great employees and I am blessed to have such wonderful clients.

HOMES & LIVING

PERFECT PLACE - This kitchen in a Sorento Custom Homes show home in Red Deer showcases bright lights, beautiful counters and plenty of cupboard space.

Tanis Reid/Red Deer Express

Feeling ‘bah humbug’ about the holidays this year I’m not going to write about Christmas cheer and about making things merry and bright – bah humbug. Even with all the pretty white snow and the inundation of advertisements and all things glittery I am not into Christmas this year and I can’t figure out why. I am usually breaking out the eggnog and lovingly decorating my home by this time of year but guess what? My tree is sitting in the corner of my living room naked and it doesn’t bother me one bit.

What could be the cause of this anti merriment? This goes against my very nature, my love of the holidays and my passion for sparkly, warmly scented holi-

LEWIS day items. A box of Christmas oranges had to be thrown out because I didn’t eat them, what is wrong with this picture?

Perhaps I need an infusion of gingerbread, a visit to Santa or a trip to a reindeer farm to revive my holiday apathy. I’ve consumed a few holiday lattes and even tried to shop for presents but nothing seems to be working and I would really appreciate any suggestions you good people may have.

I am going to get serious this week and bring out my favourite Christmas albums by Michael Buble and Andrea Bocelli and see if I can get my Christmas on.

I will simultaneously light pine-scented Christmas candles and sip eggnog while I read The Night Before Christmas in my red plaid flannel pajamas. The scent of pine and turkey and cookies will waft through my house at all times melding into a nauseating cornucopia of holiday scents overwhelming all who enter.

My family will know that I have finally lost my senses when I start flooding the driveway in front of my house and encouraging neighbourhood children to

come and play hockey on my tiny ice rink just so that I can sit and sip Tim Hortons feeling nostalgic and cheerful.

The problem seems to be no time to slow down. The renovation business has been off the hook the past few months and I am still running like a crazy person helping clients realize their interior spaces.

I am so very grateful for this busy fall and wouldn’t have it any other way but I think all my shopping for clients has more than quenched my need to shop for presents.

My family and friends need not panic, as I’m sure the holiday spirit will kick in soon and I

Tips for paying your mortgage off faster Mortgages in Canada can be amortized for up to 35 years with more than 20% equity and up to 25 years if requiring mortgage insurance.

While this seems a long time, it does not have to take anyone that long to pay off their mortgage if they choose to do so in a shorter period of time.

With a little bit of thinking ahead, and a small bit of sacrifice, most people can manage to pay off their mortgage in a much shorter period of time by taking positive steps such as: • Making mortgage payments each week,

These options lower your interest paid over the term of your mortgage and can result in the equivalent of an extra month’s

should increase your payment by at least an amount equal to one-fifth of your next anticipated mortgage payment. For example, with today’s low interest rates hovering around the 3% level, and 20-year average rates hovering around 6%, determine what your anticipated maturity payment will be then subtract that figure by your existing payment. Take the difference of the payment and divide it by five and then you’ll come up with the annual amount you should be increasing your payment by. If today’s payment is $1,000, and your maturing payment will be $1,400, the difference is $400, then divide by five and you come up with an $80/month annual increase.

By applying these strategies consistently over time, you will save money, pay less interest and pay off your mortgage years earlier.

• When your income increases, increase the amount of your mortgage payments.

Let’s say you get a 5% raise each year at work. If you put that extra 5% of your income into your mortgage, your mortgage balance will drop much faster without feeling like you are changing your spending habits.

• Mortgage lenders will also allow you to make extra payments on your mortgage balance each year. Just about everyone finds themselves with money they were not expecting at some point or another.

Maybe you inherited some money from a distant relative or you received a nice holiday bonus at work. Apply this money or at least some of it to your mortgage as a lump-sum payment towards your mortgage and watch the results.

TRAVEL

Now Available! woodysrv.com

The beautiful treasures found in spectacular Ireland I had the pleasure of traveling to Ireland and Northern Ireland in August and I must say beyond being the ‘Emerald Isle’ and many shades of green (read: rainy), it is rich in culture (read: strange sounding people) with interesting history (read: the troubles) theoretically with all the creature comforts of home (read: bizarre shower faucets) amazing scenery and wonderful beverages (read: beer!).

I joined Trafalgar on their Irish Experience itinerary and got to explore these unique countries in a relaxing, hassle-free way.

First stop: Guiness Factory. What harm could a 20 oz pint of strong beer cause with only three hours of sleep and international jet lag?

The factory tour was great more of a museum styled visit and I got to sample Guiness twice and my misgivings about it being bitter and heavy couldn’t be further from the truth. It was refreshing, tasty and I could see me having a liquid dinner more often than not. Plus the view from the seventh floor pub at the top was spectacular!

Ireland has much to offer; from exploring the streets of Dublin filled with monuments, visiting Trinity College, to driving around the majestic Ring of Kerry, or getting friendly with the locals in the traditional Irish villages, learning about their way of life.

From small coastal towns, rich in history and culture, to bustling cities full of shopping, nightlife and adventure, Ireland continually impressed me with her diversity.

One of the great things about Ireland is the people: friendly, quirky and always happy to please. In the quaint, walled city of Derry/Londonderry people do stare as they are not used to tourists and while we stroll around in a gaggle they all smile and wave.

Northern Ireland is a small country with a bizarre coastline, torn by their recent history.

My favourite was our visit to

MAJESTIC - This picturesque scene is just one of many visual gems travelers to Ireland can enjoy. the Giant’s Causeway. The folklore about the giant creating a walkway between Scotland and Ireland makes it even more surreal and you actually believe that versus the scientific basalt-lavacooling explanation. Romance and giants and folklore are one of the pleasures of this tiny island, and sound so much better than science!

Another highlight for me was after a visit to the quaint village of Adare filled with cobblestone streets and lovely views; we arrived in Killarney for a free afternoon. After standing in a doorway during a torrential downpour for half an hour praying to the weather goddess, the sun threatened to come out so I took a risk, hired a bike and off I went.

The clouds parted, the sun came out and I peddled away with slightly hysterical glee heading to Killarney National Park.

Ah, nothing is better than

Mother Nature’s backyard I tell ya and this truly was a piece of paradise. Riding like a sevenyear-old who has been cooped up all winter I know caused more than a few stares from other tourists, but what did I care? I was free, wind in my hair (well, helmet) sun in my eyes, and the most amazing scenery exploding every direction I looked. It was a Perfect (with a ‘capital’) afternoon.

Killarney National Park sits right on the edge of the city so easy enough access with a lovely bike path set up that circumnavigated the loch, giving me opportunity to also see the Ross Castle and Muckross House. I also went to Torc falls, regardless of the steep ascent it was well worth it.

The views were stunning and I could not remember a more scenic bike ride, anywhere! I highly recommend it to anyone who comes to this area. Hiker, cyclist, walker, or carriage ride, this park

is a must!

The Ring of Kerry is truly utterly breathtaking. I can’t wait to go home and sort my photos; from the rugged coastlines, to golden sand beaches, to random donkey and dog friends, and tiny thatched villages along the way, it truly is a remarkable destination.

Another insider highlight offered by Trafalgar was the long awaited ‘Be My Guest’. We went to the Muckross Dairy Farm for our home-cooked meal with the family.

First we got a complete tour of the farm and while it’s no longer active, it was until recently and still has the original farm equipment dating back to the 1900’s.

The livestock they had included goats, donkeys, Irish sheep hound dogs, Clydesdale horses and some poultry that I swear is a chicken/ duck hybrid. A ‘chuck’ we charmingly referred to him as.

Dinner was in the farmhouse,

we had a wood fire going, and were served a wonderful homecooked meal that included a hearty Irish stew, Irish coffee and bread and butter pudding.

We sang songs, enjoyed the Irish music, tried desperately to understand what the musicians were saying when they weren’t playing (accent is strong up here) and had such a lovely evening.

These are only a few stories from my fabulous trip to the Emerald Isle; alas I’ll have to share the rest over a pint of Guiness next time we meet. I would highly recommend the coach mode of transportation versus attempting to drive manual on the left side of the road! Spending your vacation looking out the windows feeling like the coastline is at your fingertips and having a truly relaxing vacation is the way to go with Trafalgar.
