Canadian Country Hall of Famer visits Lacombe Gary Fjellgaard performs at Kozy Korner during Senior’s Week

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express

O

n June 5, local seniors were treated to a show by Canadian country star Gary Fjellgaard.

Fjellgaard was accompanied by the musical duo Saskia and Darrel for the wellattended show at the Kozy Korner.

After the show, Fjellgaard sat down with the Express in his motor home to talk about life on the road as a musician.

Touring around the country, Fjellgaard has certainly got his money’s worth out of the motor home.

“This is a well-used motor-home,” said Fjellgaard. “It has a lot of miles on it now.”

Fjellgaard, who turns 75 this fall, has been touring and making a living with music for over 40 years now, but his love of music is much older.

He first started playing around the age of six when his mother ordered a Lone Ranger guitar for his brother. His brother had no interest in the instrument, so Fjellgaard picked it up and started teaching himself to play.

It would be over 10 years before Fjellgaard actually bought his own guitar for the first time, but by then his love of guitar playing had taken firm roots.

Fjellgaard said he fell in love with the sound of stringed instruments like the guitar, the fiddle and the mandolin. He said he liked how the music brought people together and was easy for just about anyone to pick up.

“I think it was the simplicity of it.”

Fjellgaard added he formed his style of music with influences from artists like Wilf Carter. Writing songs about Fjellgaard’s own lifestyle that others could relate to was something that he enjoyed, he said.

Like many musicians from his generation, Fjellgaard has never had any formal musical training.

He taught himself to play by listening to the radio and watching others play. In fact, Fjellgaard said that, to this day, he cannot read music.

While Fjellgaard said it is unfortunate he never had a formal musical education, he also said his music may have taken a different direction if he had.

“But then that would have taken away maybe from what I’ve written. I might not have written the songs I have written.”

As it is, inspiration for Fjellgaard’s music comes from his own life. He said he writes about his “cowboy lifestyle” grow-

ing up on the prairies of east central Saskatchewan, traveling around the country and his relationship with his wife, Lynn, with whom he will be celebrating 57 years of marriage with this summer.

Genes may have something to do with Fjellgaard’s musical talent. His father, a Norwegian immigrant, was a classicallytrained musician.

However, Fjellgaard never knew his father, as he died when Fjellgaard was a baby. Still, it seems the musical talent was passed on somehow.

“I guess it was in my blood,” said Fjellgaard.

Fjellgaard added that he visited his family in Norway some 40 years after his dad had died and was told by relatives (musicians all) that he was like a reincarnation of his father, in both looks and musical skill.

Before making a living as a musician, Fjellgaard held many other jobs.

He left Saskatchewan at the age of 15 to get a job in British Columbia at his uncle’s sawmill. While working at the sawmill, Fjellgaard also got his industrial ticket to work as a professional logger, got his scaling license and completed a number of other pursuits to make him a kind of “jack of all trades.”

During the whole time though, he continued with the guitar, playing for dances on weekends to make a couple extra bucks.

Desire was not the only thing that led Fjellgaard to begin playing music more and more. When he began to experience back problems and needed several surgeries, playing guitar was something he could do that did not interfere with his back.

“It just slowly became a full-time thing out of necessity more than anything I guess,” said Fjellgaard.

“I just slowly evolved into a full-time musician.”

Fjellgaard also credited the CRTC with launching his career. He said that if the CRTC had never made it mandatory for Canadian radio stations to play Canadian content, he might never have been successful.

Indeed, his career has been successful.

He said that playing some of the country music festivals, like the Craven Country Jamboree and Big Valley Jamboree was a lot of fun especially in the early days of the festivals.

Fjellgaard also got to play on Parliament Hill on Canada Day for two years in a row.

He said being able to do that was exciting yet incredibly nerve-wracking.

COWBOY CROONER - Canadian Country music legend Gary Fjellgaard performed to a wellBrian Vossen/Lacombe Express attended show in the City during Senior’s Week.

“It was so chancy,” said Fjellgaard.

“There was so many things that could screw up and I was so nail-bitingly nervous.”

While Fjellgaard enjoyed playing the larger shows, he said he prefers smaller ones. He said he is more comfortable in front of smaller audiences.

“I was more of an introvert,” said Fjellgaard.

“The small (shows) you had a degree of control over but the big ones you were at the mercy of whatever was set up.”

Another highlight Fjellgaard mentioned was being inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005.

He said it was quite an experience and has glad to be inducted by his friend and fellow musician, Valdy. news@lacombeexpress.com

Name behind Mia’s Pizzeria is a heartwarming story

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express It is always heartwarming to hear stories about fathers expressing love for their children, especially around Father’s Day. Stories like that of Ray Jaber, who started up his own business and named it after his daughter, Mia. “Mia is my first daughter, my first kid actually, my first and only kid,” said Ray. “She is my everything.”

Ray, along with his wife Suzy, owns and operates Mia’s Pizzeria in Blackfalds. They opened shop in town about three years ago

so that they make a living while still spending time together as a family.

Ray said he wanted to name the restaurant after Mia to show how much his daughter meant to him.

Suzy added that Mia’s Pizzeria is a good sounding name and rolls off the tongue quite nicely.

It was actually because of Mia that Ray decided to start the business, he said.

Before opening up Mia’s Pizzeria, Ray was an oilfield worker who spent much of his time away from home and away from his family.

When Mia was born and started growing up, Ray felt he missed out on a lot

of that experience of being a father. So, when Mia was about a year old, he decided to open up a restaurant in Blackfalds so that he could work closer to home.

Ray had previous experience working in restaurants and Suzy’s parents have owned a restaurant for the past 35 years.

Ray said he had thought about starting his own business for awhile before Mia came along. When he and Suzy decided it was time to act on that plan, a restaurant seemed like a good fit for a family-run business.

When they first opened the business in 2010, things

were tough for Ray and Suzy.

They both put in long hours and often were open a full day without getting any business at all.

Now, running Mia’s Pizzeria is still hard work, but things are better. Ray said the restaurant has built up a strong customer base in Blackfalds and Lacombe as well.

Running a restaurant is a full-time gig, but worth it.

While Ray and Suzy spend most of their time together working, it is still time they get to spend together, said Suzy. Ray added it is easer for him to be with his family working than to have to leave them to work and miss out on important things like Mia growing up.

“It is beneficial, having

your own business,” said Suzy “There are pros and cons, but we don’t regret it.

We know it is hard work.”

As for four-year-old Mia, she seems to quite like the idea of having a restaurant named after her. Her parents added that it being ‘Mia’s restaurant’ is added incentive for them to do a good job with the place. news@lacombeexpress.com

Blackfalds Days takes place this weekend

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express It’s time to celebrate!

Blackfalds Days takes place this weekend from June 14 – 16. Town of Blackfalds Community Development Coordinator Sue Penner said that the festival is a great opportunity to show off the town.

“People should come have a look at our town and see how much fun we have here,” she said.

Blackfalds Days is the largest celebration the Town puts on every year, said Penner. She said the event falls close to the incorporation date of Blackfalds, so the event is also celebrating the founding of Blackfalds.

Most of the events for Blackfalds Days take place on June 15 but the weekend kicks off with the Youth Octagon Club’s dance on Friday night.

On Saturday, start the day off right at the pancake breakfast and then head out to watch the parade. Penner said that, weather depending, about 30 floats should take part in the parade which runs from 11 a.m. until noon.

In the afternoon family events begin with the Kidz Zone opening up.

Kidz Zone will include a number of children and family activities including a petting zoo, barbecue and five inflatable play structures for the kids.

Ford will also be at Blackfalds days with its Drive 4 U program.

This Drive 4 U event will be raising funds for the Abbey Master Driver Centre. Participants can raise funds for the facility just by test-driving a Ford vehicle.

Running all day on Saturday will be the ninth annual Blackfalds Oldies Show & Shine.

Penner said that pre-registrations are not taken for the event but organizers are expecting around 100 vintage vehicles to be there. Also running all day is the Blackfalds Days Slo-Pitch tournament.

One of the much anticipated events at this year’s Blackfalds Days is the brand new Walking Dead of Blackfalds.

This event is a massive tag-style game of humans versus zombies, where humans flee for their lives in order to avoid infection by the zombies and becoming one of them.

The game will begin Saturday after the parade and run until 10 p.m. It will resume Sunday morning at 9 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. or until one team has been declared the winner.

Saturday night features a concert at All-Star Park by Tara Lee and her band. Concert goes rain or shine, with the concert being moved to inside the Multi-Plex in the event of rain.

Closing off the night on Saturday will be a fireworks display beginning at dusk. Should the fireworks be called off due to inclement weather, they will postponed until Sunday night.

For more information about Blackfalds Days, including times, locations and a map of the parade route, see the brochure at www.Blackfalds.com. news@lacombeexpress.com

Robo Mounties build robots for fun Members of Club not only enjoy thrill of challenge but competition as well

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Not everyone who plays with robots has a mind for mayhem.

While television shows often show robots as agents of destruction, with robotics competition shows like Battle Bots and Robot Wars that were once extremely popular, the Lacombe Composite High School Robot Mounties use their bots for other purposes.

“What most people think when they see robotics is the Battle Bots TV shows,” said Dylan Johns, member the Robo Mounties Robotics Club.

Instead, what Johns and his teammates Quinn Meadus, Andrew Thacker and Subu Upadhyay do is engineer, construct and operate robots to perform tasks and show off their skills.

Each robot is designed specifically to complete the task laid out in each competition, said Johns.

There are three different types of robotics competitions that the Robo Mounties compete in.

Skills competitions allow teams to build robots out of just about anything and no programming is involved.

Thacker said that these robots function much like remote control cars.

Teams then control these robots in order to perform a certain task within a given

time limit.

The other two competitions, VEX and FTC, contain a skill-testing aspect as well, but robots must be built using the provided kit.

Some programming of the robots is also necessary for these competitions, said Thacker.

“IF YOU BUILD A ROBOT WITH LOTS OF MOVING PARTS, IT USUALLY DOESN’T WORK OUT SO WELL BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CONTROL THEM ALL AND IT’S JUST TOO COMPLICATED.” ANDREW THACKER Last year, Robo Mounties won the Inspire Award at FTC and thereby won entry into the world championships.

There were a total of 130 teams competing at the championships in St. Louis and Robo Mounties, one of two Canadian teams, placed 53rd.

Most recently, the Robo Mounties competed in a skills competition in Edmonton where they placed third with their robot, the Guillotine.

For this skills competition, robots needed to pick up, move, and deposit wooden pallets onto a rack to score.

While doing so, teams also had to navi-

gate their robots through a number of obstacles in the arena.

Upadhyay said there was a fair amount of strategy involved in the competition as teams could push their opponents’ pallets off the rack to keep them from scoring while placing their own pallets.

In order to accomplish this task, the team designed its robot, Guillotine, to look and function like a forklift.

There are four teams within the Robo Mounties Club.

Two teams, one is a competition team and the other is an alternate, were selected to represent LCHS at the competition in Edmonton.

The competition team consisted of Upadhyay, Meadus, Thacker and Johns.

For their next competition, the team will disassemble the Guillotine and use its components to build a new robot, once again designed specifically to perform whatever task is laid out in the competition.

Whenever they build a new bot, the team strives to make the robot as functional as possible while still keeping it simple, said Thacker.

“If you build a robot with lots of moving parts, it usually doesn’t work out so well

because you have to control them all and it’s just too complicated,” said Thacker.

As for why they joined the Robotics Club, all of the team members have different reasons.

Johns said he just happened to wander into the classroom at the right time to be exposed to the Club.

Meadus said he and Upadhyay will both be studying engineering in post-secondary next school year and thought this would be a good way to get a little experience.

Thacker said he joined the Club through friendships and stayed for the camaraderie.

Steve Schultz, teacher supervisor for the club, said that the Club was started seven years ago by some students who were simply interested in robotics.

To support this interest, he began offering lunch-hour meetings but the group really began to grow after discovering a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) competition four years ago.

Since then, the club has grown to consist of 20 members on four teams and participates in a number of competitions throughout the year. news@lacombeexpress.com

Senate scandals Are Canadian senators abusing the system by writing off more expenses than they are strictly entitled to, or are they simply taking advantage of a system that allows it?

Currently, several senators, most notable Senator Mike Duffy, are under fire for claiming expenses they weren’t exactly entitled to.

Duffy recently paid back $90,000 after it was revealed that he hadn’t actually lived in P.E.I. long enough to claim living expense for a second home in Ottawa.

But is what Duffy and many of his colleagues did so different from what the rest of us taxpayers do every year when we file our taxes?

Few of us can honestly say we have never, to some degree or another, misrepresented things while filing income tax in order to get a better refund.

We may not have been outright lying, but most of us would have to admit that we would put down a slightly inaccurate claim if we thought we could get away with it.

Why should it be any different if Duffy, or any other senator for that matter, does the same?

Also, does it matter if senators are cheating on their expense claims?

Some might argue that it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Sure, it might make the

general public look unfavourably on senators, but if it doesn’t interfere with them doing their job, is it something we should really be worried about?

Yes, and yes are the answers to these questions.

Yes, Duffy and those other senators like him are abusing the system by claiming expenses that they are not eligible for.

Everyone else might be doing it too, but as we were taught as children, “Just because everyone is doing it does not mean it’s right.”

When we get caught cheating on our taxes, we have to pay the price and so did Duffy.

Yes, it does matter if senators are cheating on expense claims because it calls into question their honesty and trustworthiness.

While politicians are notorious for being untrustworthy, they really should be striving for the opposite. These people are who we entrust the running of our country, which is not a job to be taken lightly (and perhaps the reason why we come down so hard on politicians when they are found to be untruthful).

As such, we think Canadians from coast to coast are right in being outraged that those senators who are supposed to represent their interests are cheating, lying, or abusing the system in any way.

Continued redevelopment will pay off in long run Some of you may have seen the following bulletin.

‘The City of Lacombe is advising residents that beginning as early as May 22 construction crews will be closing Woodland Drive in sections as required between Cranna Lake Drive and C&E trail to install the replacement sanitary main pipe.

“Detours will be put in place to maintain dwelling access throughout the construction period,” said Infrastructure Services Director Matthew Goudy. “A detailed work schedule will be finalized prior to the start of the construction, and residents in the area will receive additional notification before the project breaks ground.”

Every year the City implements a collection of infrastructure projects collectively known as the Capital Works Program or Capital Improvements Program. A major component in this year’s program is the replacement of a collapsed sewer main on Woodland Dr. between Cranna Lake Drive and C&E Trail.

“It became apparent that we needed to replace this section of pipe after we noticed signs of linear

Steve

CHRISTIE settlement, which resulted in potholes developing along the centre of Woodland Drive,” said Engineering Services Manager Jordan Thompson. “A subsequent camera inspection of the sanitary line revealed sections of the concrete pipe had failed and needed replacement.”’

As most of you are now aware, Woodland Drive is currently open to local traffic only. We are in the first phase of three phases. The entrance on C&E Trail is completely cut off and the section between C&E Trail and Spruce Drive is being excavated; however there is still access for all residences in that area. This excavation process is planned until July 5, weather permitting.

In the second phase, Spruce Drive to Maple Bay will be shut down. There will be access through

secondary roads and back alleys for all residences.

Our third phase is the section from Maple Bay to Cranna Lake Drive. Both of these communities have only one access in and out.

The detour maps, which you can find on the City of Lacombe web site and in your mail, may not show an access for these residents. This is not correct. We will have flag patrols and the road in that section will not be completely shut down.

We ask that only residents of Maple Bay and Cranna Lake Drive use that section of road.

We realize that this is inconvenient, not just for the residents of Woodland Drive and its offshoot neighbourhoods, but for all residents of Lacombe. Since the road was punched through several years ago, Woodland Drive has become a major thoroughfare for the City and we are now temporarily back to using the routes along the schools, the main street, and the area through the CUC to get from one side of town to the other.

However, just like a house renovation, fixing the problems with

the concrete pipe now will help us avoid more expensive problems later on and create something better. The last thing anyone wants is a sewer back up into their home.

You may also have wondered why the road has been pulverized now and then left while we work on Phase A. Tearing up the road required a specialized machine and we had to rent and book it which necessitated the pulverization to be done all at once. You will notice that we did the same thing in other areas of the City. This saves us both time and money.

We plan to have the repairs finished, including the installation of traffic signals at Woodland Drive and C&E Trail, by the end of summer. The final asphalt will be laid next year so that we can allow the new road to settle during the winter and watch for any problems that might crop up. The end result will be a nice new road with a smooth flowing cement sewer pipe and peace of mind for those living in the area.

Steve Christie is the mayor of Lacombe.

Nova Chemicals to begin expansion

BY JENNA SWAN Lacombe Express Nova Chemicals Corporation announced they are set to begin construction of a $1 billion expansion project that will be the first new polyethylene plant opened in Canada since they opened their last sector in 2003.

Partnered with Ledcor, as the lead construction partner to complete the new facility, hopes are high among provincial leaders that it will have a great impact on the economic activity of the region.

“Infrastructure involved here would include a third polyethylene reactor that is the centerpiece of the expansion,” said Randy Woelfel, CEO of Nova Chemical Corporation, at the official launch of the construction project last week.

“We have to take the

product from the market in a cost effective, quality way so we are doing things on the packaging side here as well and substantially increasing our rail storage and shipping facilities here and that also represents a significant expansion.”

With hopes of creating up to 600 new job opportunities by 2014 at the facility, the economic benefits will surely be vast, he said.

From commodities purchased to gravel and truck work on the site to restaurants and grocery stores – a large variety of businesses are expected to benefit from the expansion.

Woelfel stated that the expansion is expected to boost plant production from 2.5 billion to 3.5 billion lbs of polyethylene annually.

In 2008, as oil and gas production peaked and the recession struck North

America, Nova Chemicals feared that the supply of ethane to keep the plant running strong was in short supply.

“The outlook looking forward was pretty bleak,” said Woelfel.

The ethane supplies required to produce ethylene and polyethylene fell 12% and continued to slide another 10% by 2010, officials say.

The plant was forced to operate at an 85% capacity that left many wondering what the fate of the plant would be.

With a critical shortage of feedstock to run the plant, Woelfel and his team were forced to look elsewhere for the products that would keep them running strongly.

Woelfel explained the creativity involved with tapping into these resources and how they hope it will

secure their production well beyond 2020 and even 2030.

Nova Chemicals, due to the Alberta government and its incremental ethane extraction policy which provides financial incentives for ethane extraction facilities, hopes to return production to full force by the end of the year and put themselves back on “the biggest growth track we’ve ever seen,” he said.

As part of the expansion, Woelfel also announced that Nova Chemicals will begin construction on a new legacy heritage project for the environment on 200 acres of Nova property to the north of the plant.

“We will be constructing a wetlands trail through the natural environment that we will be expanding and enhancing and leaving behind a legacy for ourselves and the community of an absolutely fantastic place to enjoy nature,” he said.

“The future has never been brighter for Nova and for Central Alberta and you can’t reach a moment like today without vision and tenacity by a lot of hard working people.”

Greenhouse helps to reduce ecological impact

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express In a time where people are becoming more aware about where their food comes from and its impact on the natural world, a group of students from Lacombe Composite High School are doing their part to produce sustainable food while lessening their ecological impact.

Three years ago, the school’s EcoVision Club began its greenhouse project. Today, the project is well underway with the greenhouse producing all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables As are all the projects EcoVision undertakes, the greenhouse project is to make the school more ecologically-friendly and in the process, make ecological leaders out of its students, said Steven Schultz, the club’s staff supervisor.

Club member Mattie Dewalt said the goal of EcoVision, in addition to building ecological awareness, also includes community building and leadership within the school. She said the zero-energy greenhouse project went a long ways to accomplish that goal as almost everyone in the school was working on the project.

Of course, the other benefit of the greenhouse is the food it produces. Club member Jerelle Bristol said the Club is producing corn, , squash, melons, peppers, even tropical fruits like lemons and bananas inside the greenhouse.

Food produced is used in the school kitchen as well as sold outside the school.

What is special about EcoVision’s greenhouse is that it is designed to a

zero-energy greenhouse.

This means the greenhouse will be self-sufficient. At this point, the greenhouse does require some external power but the Club is working on installing a system to remedy that.

Features that help the greenhouse decrease its energy requirements include the shape of the building itself. Bristol said the dome shape allows for even heating. It also means that wherever the sun is, the building still gets heat, added Schultz.

The greenhouse’s structural features don’t end there either. It contains a wall of reflective material that reflects heat back inside the greenhouse, said Dewalt. The panels of the greenhouse walls are built out of polycarbonate glass that helps hold heat in.

If it gets too hot, vents in the greenhouse will open automatically. The vents use beeswax which opens the vent once heated to a certain degree, said Dewalt.

Another heat-regulating feature in the greenhouse is climate batteries which draw warm, moist air down when the greenhouse is too warm and then release back into the greenhouse once it has cooled off, said Bristol.

Heat regulation is an important part of greenhouse gardening, said Schultz. He added that above 20C most plants will thrive and the greenhouse works to maintain a temperature above 20C but below 30C, where plants suffer from the heat.

Recently, a sub-project of the EcoVision zero-energy greenhouse project received BP Petroleum’s A+ for Energy grant.

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Being active is important.

And it is just as important for older people as it is for younger generations. At least, that is the attitude of Hazel Heistad, Lacombe director for the Alberta 55 Plus Games.

Heistad said it is important for people of all ages to be active, or at least get out and mingle with others.

“I like being involved in things,” said Heistad. “I don’t like sitting around doing nothing.”

Heistad first got involved in the 55 Plus Summer Games in 1994 playing horseshoes. She went to the first national competition that was held in Regina in 1996 and has been to every provincial event she could make it to.

The Alberta 55 Plus Games are held every other year on odd numbered years. Participants compete in zones in order to qualify for the provincial competition.

On even numbered years, a national competition is also held, she said.

She added that participants in the national competition do not necessarily need to qualify, but they are responsible for getting themselves to the games.

The 55 Plus Games include a wide variety of events, said Heistad. These include traditional track and field style sports like javelin as well as less popular sports like bocce and timed walking.

Non-sporting events, like card games, are also included, added Heistad. It was Heistad’s brother who first got her interested in playing horseshoes back in 1981.

Up until her brother died a few years ago, the two of them would travel around competing in several different competitions. Eventually, that led them to the 55 Plus Games and Heistad has been involved ever since.

She said she got involved with them from an organizational standpoint kind of by accident. Having more knowledge of the game horseshoes than some of the organizers at the events she competed in, Heistad often stepped in to give a helping hand. Some organizers of the 55 Plus Games got wind of this and asked if she wouldn’t mind helping in a more formal capacity.

While Heistad’s event is horseshoes, she organizes a number of others. She said that directors change which events they organize each year based on the requirements of the competitions. Heistad added she has been a director for the games for the past three or four years.

This year’s provincial summer games will be held next month in Westlock and Barrhead. Heistad said that most of the qualifying competition has been completed and there are at least six individuals from Lacombe participating in provincials. While provincials are in northern Alberta this year, Heistad said there is a few other events happening in Central Alberta in the near future. A challenge cup for zone four (which Lacombe is part of) will be held on July 10 and an arts and crafts competition is also being held in Mirror this weekend. news@lacombeexpress.com

Ellis Bird Farm researches and celebrates the natural world

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Ellis Bird Farm is doing important work.

Located just outside of Lacombe and Blackfalds, Ellis Bird Farm is dedicated to educating, researching and celebrating the part the natural world plays in our society.

Myrna Pearman, biologist at the Ellis Bird Farm, said that it is vital work for the future of humanity.

“The future of this civilization and this planet depends on people not forgetting that the earth provides our sustenance,” said Pearman. “If we don’t have healthy ecosystems, humanity is doomed.”

Ellis Bird Farm was established in 1982 to carry on the legacy of the brother-sister pair of conservationists Charlie and Winnie Ellis, said Pearman. When Union Carbide wanted to buy the farm from the aging Ellis siblings, Charlie and Winnie agreed to the sale on the condition that the new owners take care of their birds.

Union Carbide agreed and set up the Ellis Bird Farm.

Pearman said the farm is on a full section of land, 112 acres of which is public space and the rest is still a working farm. The facility is run by a volunteer board of directors with representation from Lacombe County, Nature Alberta, Red Deer River Naturalists and ME Global Canada, which funds the Ellis Bird Farm.

There are a number of projects the Ellis Bird Farm oversees as part of its mandate, but they could all be classified under conservation. Pearman said the farm maintains a nesting trail for birds and has a winter bird-feeding program, continuing one the traditions of Charlie Ellis.

Several research projects are also ongoing at the Ellis Bird Farm as well, said Pearman.

Using RFID chip technology that can track the whereabouts of birds, Ellis Bird Farm has been able to garner migratory information about its birds that is new to science. Pearman said it was previously unknown where the Alberta birds spent their winters, but this new project has shed some light on that subject.

One bird in the 22-bird study left Ellis Bird Farm heading straight for Winnipeg. From there, it headed to South America and spent the majority of the winter in eastern Brazil. It took the bird 75 days to reach Brazil but only 21 days to return to Alberta.

This same technology can be used to track birds on the farm as well. It can be used to record which birds are going into which nests, how often they are going in, and at what time.

Education is another big part of what the farm does.

Pearman said 1,200 students come to the Ellis Bird Farm on school trips every season who take advantage of several educational programs set up at the Ellis Bird Farm.

In fact, students visit the farm each of the four weekdays (Tuesday – Friday) that the facility is open.

Students are able to participate in programs that are curriculum-based, said Pearman, like pond-dipping and building birdhouses.

Those 1,200 students are only a portion of the 11,000 visitors the farm sees annually, added Pearman.

Pearman said that today’s children are too disconnected from nature and must have some way to rebuild that bond, especially as they are both humanity and the planet’s future.

“I think that children are becoming more and more removed from the natural world,” said

Pearman. “Screens are the biggest enemy and we have to make sure that children do not lose the connection with nature. So we are doing our small part to try and encourage children to learn about nature and realize that we have to have a healthy planet to survive.”

Boom Chucka Boys unleash ‘rockabilly and classic country’

BY MARK WEBER Lacombe Express Local band the Boom Chucka Boys have seen a virtual whirlwind of activity over the past couple of years. And the summer months will see more gigs and opportunities – including performing at the Calgary Stampede – come their way.

“We’ve had a really accelerated growth curve,” explains front man Ryan Langlois. The guys first joined forces three years ago, and already they’ve accomplished much of what your typical band dreams of doing – releasing their first single and recording their debut CD, landing all kinds of gigs, and seeing their fan base steadily grow. Their single Find My

Peace of Mind climbed to #41 on the Canadian Country charts and #15 on the Alberta Top 30.

“We’ve all – in our own little journeys – put a lot of time in. It hasn’t been overnight, but it’s been fast.”

The guys perform June 15 at the Sylvan Lake Multiplex as part of the town’s centennial celebrations.

They also open for Gord Bamford on July 10 at Calgary’s Cowboys as part of Stampede week. They also perform during Westerner Days in Red Deer on July 17.

Merging classic country, 1950s rockabilly and slick modern Nashville sounds, the Boom Chucka Boys seem to have a knack for walking the fine line between many musical stylings. A whole lot of coun-

try, with a splash of rock n’ roll. Sprinkle in some gospel, and little bit of soul.

Rounding out the band are Joel Rathjen on lead guitar, Teddy Roy Michaylow on bass and Dave Grobe on the drums.

Langlois also credits the guys’ chemistry for not just producing a seamless sound but also helping to fuel the band’s momentum.

“There is such a camaraderie and a meshing on stage and with what we do musically, that it looks like we’ve been doing this for a long time,” he explains.

“That comes from having true relationships and true friendships. We’re doing life together – we’re not just in a band. That comes across onstage.”

They’re also inspired by all era’s of music they pull

from the likes of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, CCR, The Band, Dwight Yoakam, Dierks Bentley and Zac Brown Band.

As mentioned, the band took shape about three years ago - in July of 2010.

They began honing their musicianship, songwriting, and performance at any live venue that would lend them a stage.

Then on a chilly night in January of 2011, CCMA award winning country artist Bamford happened to walk in on them in the middle of a three-set night. Before long a deal was made and The Boom Chucka Boys signed a record deal with Cache Entertainment.

Their debut album was produced by award winning producer/songwriter Byron Hill. Also, the band

was essentially the brainchild of Langlois. And even though there was plenty of music around the house when he was growing up (“It was a pretty eclectic mix”) his knack for playing and singing didn’t service until some time later.

“I didn’t start anything musical until I was about 22,” he explains of his own artistic ventures. He was inspired to start singing by watching the song leader at his church.

“I had extreme stage fright and nerves,” he recalls. But he kept at it just the same. That same music director eventually offered Langlois guitar lessons, and it proved a pivotal time.

“I picked it up extremely quickly, and before long I was singing in church. But I felt like I wanted to do

more.” He started writing a few songs and taking opportunities at little coffee houses whenever he could.

“It wasn’t long after I started strumming away on the guitar that I started to get the songwriting bug and started thinking about my own songs.”

But he wanted to team up with other like-minded individuals. “There was always something in me about being in a band. I didn’t want to be a stand alone solo artist.”

He started asking around, looking for musicians to hook up with. “I started calling myself Ryan Langlois and the Boom Chucka Trio – for whoever I would have with me.”

Later one when he connected with Grobe, Rathjen and Michaylow, we settled on the Boom Chucka Boys and operating as a band – not focusing on one guy but having four players in the show. It’s been good.”

Rockabilly with its nostalgic 1950s flair is very popular in the southern U.S. and it’s continually gaining ground in Canada.

“There’s a familiarity with it. I like that what we do is easily accessible to everybody. You don’t have to be a musician to appreciate it,” he adds. “You can just sit back and just enjoy it.

“It’s not that it’s simple and easy – it’s just that there’s something familiar about what we do. People easily gravitate to it and relate to it, and you see that when you are playing it.

“There’s an element of it that does pay homage to the older sound.” But the younger set are pretty excited about what they guys are coming up with as well.

“We’ve played shows where there are five-yearolds out there dancing as well as a 70-year-old couple out there spinning around the floor as well.”

Meanwhile, the guys are prepping for a busy summer, and they’re excited about introducing their tunes to bigger audiences.

“The four of us are doing what we were designed to do. When you do that, there’s a joy and something so incredibly appealing about that. That’s what people see and buy into.”

Lacoka Locos eager for playoffs after finishing strong season

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express The Lacoka Locos have done it again.

Approaching the end of their very strong season, the Strand Media Bantam B Lacoka Locos finished the season strong defeating the Blackfalds Warriors and the Kneehill Bulldogs in their last two regular season games.

Coach Bruce Clarke said that this has been a very good year for the Locos.

“They’re great,” said Clarke.

“They are a strong team full of a good bunch of second year players and a great bunch of first year players coming up from Pee Wee.” At the June 3 game in Blackfalds, Lacoka came out strong right from the start of the game. Overwhelming the Warriors’ defense, the Locos outscored Blackfalds 3-1 by the end of the first period.

In the second period, things continued much the same.

Lacoka continued to outplay the Warriors and extend their lead. Blackfalds responded by upping its game and strengthening its defense.

Penalties were also prevalent in the second period, with both sides having at least one player in the box for most of the period. Clarke said this is nothing new to the Locos, partly because of their style of play, but there is not much that can be done about it.

“We certainly get our share of penalties but you’ve got to take them as it comes,” said Clarke. “Play your positions and kill the penalties.”

Score was 6-2 for the Locos at the end of the second.

Blackfalds came out much stronger in the third, even managing to press the Locos into their defensive end a few times and dominate much of the play. However, it was too little too late. While Blackfalds prevented Lacoka from scoring in the third, they weren’t able to catch up and the game ended 6-3 in favour of the Lacoka Locos.

Lacoka had its last regular season game on June 6 where they defeated the Kneehill Bulldogs 9-7, making their regular season record 12-1.

Clarke said the biggest contributor to the Locos’ success this season is that they are a strong passing team.

Clarke also said that the team’s movement on the offense has improved from the

Another thing the team needs to work on heading into playoffs is spreading the ball around and using each player equally, he said. He added the team has a tendency to lean on its strongest players but each line has players that are just as capable of playing the game.

“We don’t need four or five guys scoring,

LETO’S

we want seven or eight guys scoring,” said Clarke. If the team can accomplish that, there should be nothing holding them back as they head into playoffs.

“We hope to win playoffs,” said Clarke.

Clarke added that last year’s Locos Pee Wee team won provincials and many of those players are now part of the Bantam Locos.

As such, Clarke said that not only do the Locos plan to win the league, but there are

confident they can win provincials as well.

Meanwhile, the Strand Media Bantams and the C-Key Trucking Pee Wees went to the Spirit of the Sticks Tournament in Innisfail this past weekend.

The Pee Wees won gold and the Bantams won silver.

The regular season is now finished. All teams start playoffs this weekend with a double elimination format. news@lacombeexpress.com

Packed house at Havoc Fighting Championships T he octagon was filled with brute force on June 7 at the Sheraton Hotel as Havoc Fighting Championships filled the banquet room to the brim.

With many local fighters ranging from first time to amateur to professional and well seasoned – the 11 fights were packed with edge-of-your-seat action from start to finish.

Blaine Cust’s first time in the ring even helped to raise $10,150 as he squared off against Grayson Wells, also a first-time fighter.

The 42-year-old Cust pledged to donate his proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society in an effort to fight a disease that has plagued his family many times.

The main event of the evening was Josh Machan vs. John Fraser and lasted a meager 22 seconds.

While both fighters threw a fury of fists, neither could land a hit until Machan ultimately grasped hold of Fraser in an unforgiving guillotine chokehold and won the round.

This left Machan with a 10-4 professional record in the 145lb class.

The fights are available to view online through www.topmmanews. com and were blogged from the site as well.

This was the second of the Havoc Fighting championships held, the first being in December 2012 and another round of mayhem is already in place for Sept. 6.

Tickets may be purchased at www.havocfc.com.
