Leasing Myths “It’s just like renting!” – Unlike renting, leasing actually builds equity similar to finance-purchasing.

“I’ll have nothing at the end.”- You actually have quite a lot; potential equity when the vehicle is worth more than the buyout (very common with Toyota products) which you can keep (simply buyout as you’ll be pre-approved), sell it (you have legal ownership and can sell at any time and keep the equity), trade it in (as the buyout is based on whole-sale values we recognise the true equity also).

“It’s not like I own anything.” – Technically you have possession therefore legally you have ownership, however, unlike finance purchasing you are not legally responsible for the value of the vehicle therefore you do not own any potential loss.

“Leasing is just for companies” – Companies recognise leasing as a better use of money for a number of reasons however the greatest benefit is in not investing more than necessary in a depreciating asset; the number one cost to private ownership!

“I drive too many kilometers for leasing”. – Toyota leases are adaptable; from 20,000 kms per year to as much as 50,000, from 24 month terms up to 60.

Lacombe sisters relish stint with Rockettes Jantzie trio returns to share knowledge through annual dance camp

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express

I

t’s one thing to work in a field you love as part of a globallyrecognized organization, it’s quite another when you get to do it with your family beside you.

Just what is that like?

Ask the Jantzie sisters, Alison, Lisa and Kristin. All three of the girls, who grew up here in Lacombe, are members of the world-renowned precision dance company the Rockettes.

Sitting in her parent’s home in Lacombe, Alison, the youngest of the sisters, related what it is like to work with her siblings in such a highly recognized company.

“It’s kind of awesome,” said Alison. “It’s the first time in the 85-year history of the Rockettes that there have been three sisters (within the group).”

Alison went on to say having her sisters beside her helps her deal with the challenging world of the Rockettes.

She added that rehearsing with 80 dancers, most of whom already know most of the show, can be somewhat intimidating and having her sisters’ support was particularly helpful during her first season with the group.

The Jantzie sisters have a long history of dance before the Rockettes as well. Alison said she started dancing at Dancemakers Dance Studio here in Lacombe when she was only three years old.

She and her sisters continued pursuing dance all through their pre-school, elementary and high school years, said Alison.

As the girls got older and more skilled, they began taking more dance classes in different styles.

Alison said the more they danced, the more they wanted to continue dancing.

“One class led to another,” said Alison. “One day became two days became all week.”

Eventually, the Jantzies moved to dancing at Dance Central in Red Deer.

To further their dance education, the sisters would also partake in a number of summer ballet dance programs. As her sisters were focusing on ballet,

Alison said she ended up doing the same as she was along for the ride anyway.

“I just ended up in the car, so I auditioned too,” said Alison laughing.

By the end of high school, Alison, as well as her sisters, had decided to pursue dance as a career.

Lisa and Kristin had moved to Japan to dance with Tokyo Disney and Alison decided to attend the Randolph Academy for Performing Arts in Toronto.

“There was nothing I wanted to do more,” said Alison. She added that she knew a career in the performing arts would not be easy, but she also knew it was possible and chose to pursue her passion.

It was Kristin who first joined the Rockettes. She had gone to New York after returning from Tokyo to do an international student visa program. While there, she ended up auditioning for the Rockettes.

Alison said that, as her sister tells the story, Kristin did not at all feel prepared for her Rockettes audition.

“From what I’ve heard her say, she went to the audition and she wasn’t prepared for what Rockettes really were,” said Alison.

“She’ll tell you, ‘I didn’t have the right shoes, I got lost on my way to the audition,’ it was just one of those days.”

Still, Kristin got a callback and ended up joining the Rockettes.

Alison recalled seeing her sister perform in Kristin’s first season with the Rockettes. She said she was overcome by emotion seeing her sister’s beauty and skill on stage with the rest of the group.

At the time Kristin auditioned for the troupe, her twin Lisa had also returned from Tokyo and was dancing with the Alberta Ballet.

After a couple seasons she moved to working with Royal Caribbean Cruiselines. Eventually, Lisa decided she would also like to try dancing with the Rockettes and after three auditions, was the second of the sisters to join the group.

Alison commented on her sister’s perseverance, saying Lisa’s determination was an example

TALENTED TRIO – From left the Jantzie sisters, originally from Lacombe, Lisa, Alison and Kristin, are the first trio of siblings in the Rockettes’ history to be performing at the same time.

of the drive it takes to go far in a dance career.

“It’s just an example of, if they say no once, they aren’t going to say no forever,” she said.

Meanwhile, Alison had finished her program at Randolph and had moved on to working in musical theatre.

She also did a stint performing for Disney on their cruise line.

She was the third and final Jantzie sister to join the Rockettes and has been dancing with them for three seasons now.

Now, the sisters are returning to Central Alberta in hopes of providing the same experiences to young dancers that they had growing up.

Through their dance camp, which is now in its third year, the

photo submitted

sisters hope to share their favourite experiences as young dancers – learning from experienced professionals.

ID Inspire Dance begins on Aug. 19 and runs until Aug. 24.

It caters to dancers ages seven and up and offers classes in three levels. The camp is held at Strive Dance Academy in Red Deer. news@lacombeexpress.com

Grant Creasey hopes to do more as mayor

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express A common sense approach to municipal government.

That is the idea City of Lacombe Councillor Grant Creasey is running with in his mayoral campaign for the 2013 election.

Seeing himself as a problem solver, Creasey said he would like to approach council issues with a common sense problem solving

approach to each of them.

He added that he does not want to come up with wonderful ideas and solutions to problems and simply adjust taxes to meet goals.

Instead, Creasey said he would like to see Lacombe’s infrastructure taken care of first and then find creative ways to bring other amenities to the City.

He added he would like to see the cost of such things spread out a bit more rather than taxpayers bearing

the bulk of the burden.

Having said that, Creasey also said he does not by any means intend to never raise taxes.

“That’s part of the common sense things,” said Creasey. “Anyone who told you taxes were never ever going to go up would not be telling the truth. But to say they have to go up each and every year just as a course of business, I don’t think is correct either.”

Creasey said he ran for

council last term because he saw room for improvement at City Hall.

Economic growth and creating a more businessfriendly atmosphere within Lacombe were areas he wanted to see more focus on.

“While we have definitely made some positive strides in that area, there is still a long way to go,” said Creasy. He added that is a big reason why he decided to run for mayor after his

first term on City council.

Creasey said that not enough progress has been made in the areas of economic growth and business development. He added he feels he would make more progress as mayor than he has as a councillor.

Through his work, Creasey has developed positive relationships with developers and builders.

He said that this, combined with his good working knowledge of the processes and steps necessary for building, particularly for building infrastructure, puts him in a good position to bolster Lacombe’s economic growth.

Creasey added that he has even helped a number of developers through red tape at City Hall and hopes to continue doing so on a larger scale as mayor.

Some may feel that Creasey does not support the recreational and cultural amenities of Lacombe, he said. He added this is not the case.

“Nothing could be further from the truth,” said Creasey. “I want all of the amenities for our City that we can have. It’s just that I’m a little more pragmatic in that respect.”

Creasey said that it’s not that he doesn’t want such amenities, he just wants to be sure Lacombe has the means to pay for them first.

GRANT CREASEY He said he would rather see more business in Lacombe first. Thereby, there would be a stronger commercial/ industrial tax base in order to pay for recreational and cultural facilities as well as other amenities in the City.

When building any facility, Creasey said it’s easy to come up with a plan that is ‘$X million’.

Some might think that the next step, finding those funds to build the project, is difficult but Creasey said that the real hard part is the maintenance and operational costs after the facility is built.

“I guess a case in point would be our LMC (Lacombe Memorial Centre),” said Creasey. “Beautiful building!

“It really is the gem of the City, as far as structures go, but I think there are a lot of people who don’t appreciate the fact that it’s costing us $1 million a year.” news@lacombeexpress.com

Fire Department kept busy with collisions on weekend

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express It was a busy Sunday for Lacombe Fire Department.

On the afternoon of Aug. 11, Lacombe Fire Department was dispatched to three separate motor vehicle collisions along Hwy. 2.

All three pages were sent out within about an hour and a half.

First, around 4:30 p.m., Lacombe fire crews responded to a single vehicle rollover in the northbound lane of

Hwy. 2 north of Hwy. 12.

Three individuals were in the vehicle when it rolled.

One was transported via ambulance to Lacombe Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries, a second was transported by police and a third left the scene before police arrived, said Fire Chief Ed Van Delden.

The incident is still under investigation.

As fire crews were returning to the hall, they received a second call to a three-vehicle collision

in the northbound lane of Hwy. 2 south of Hwy. 12.

Van Delden said fire crews assisted to remove passengers from the vehicles but did not need to cut into the vehicle at all to extricate anyone.

At that incident, crews were just clearing the scene when they were paged to another incident at the south intersection of Hwy. 2 and 2A. In the third incident, a large motorhome had reportedly rear-ended a small car.

One of the car’s occupants was transported via ambulance to Lacombe Hospital complaining of back injuries but had no life-threatening injuries, fire crews said.

“I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest that these accidents were somehow connected with the traffic slowing down,” said Van Delden. He added that emergency scenes themselves are distracting for drivers, and it is always important for drivers to keep

their eyes on the road, no matter what may be happening outside.

“If you are on the roadway, you better be looking down the roadway.”

It may be useful for drivers to remember that they are only required to slow down at accident scenes when there are emergency vehicles present and slowing down to observe an accident that has already been cleared by emergency crews may only serve to distract other drivers.

Of course, it is also important to drive at a speed that is appropriate for road conditions and the flow of traffic, said Van Delden.

“Obviously, if the car is slowing down ahead of you, you need to slow down as well.”

Van Delden added that accidents can be caused by drivers paying attention to distractions, such as emergency scenes, and not realizing the vehicles in front of them are slowing down. news@lacombeexpress.com

Standardbred springs into outride action at Alberta Downs

BY DARREN LUPUL Special to the Express

a horse-loving kid at the time, took the bay as her riding horse. The duo have been together ever since -- Schneider even shipped her pal all the way up to Alberta where she is racing.

Fast forward to the morning of Aug. 3 at Alberta Downs, a couple of hours before the races were scheduled to start. Schneider was busy with the stable of horses that she trains along with her hus-

Sacramento Key, now an 18-year-old standardbred, started his career in Sacramento, California and raced as both a trotter and pacer in a short career at Cal Expo many years ago.

Although, when it looked like a career in racing wasn’t in his future and he thus needed a home, Kim Schneider, who was

band, Quentin. They were getting ready to race that afternoon when an urgent request came from track management.

“Our outrider is unavailable today, can you ride?”

Kim was a little taken aback by the request and wondered whether she could take on the challenge. “On what horse?” she asked.

Alberta Downs is adjacent to the thoroughbred farm of track owner Bob

Allen. Therefore, in regard to Kim’s question about which horse to use for outrider duty, there was a quick answer given.

“You can take any of the thoroughbreds from up the hill.”

The idea of using an unfamiliar green horse that had never even seen a sulky -- yet alone get up beside one -- did not sit well with Kim. She then instantly thought of her

own riding horse, Sacramento Key, nicknamed ‘Peter,’ who was happily grazing with some buddies in a field about a half-hour drive from the track. The Schneiders then dropped everything, got the truck and trailer and headed to the farm. They loaded Peter and trucked back to the track where they unloaded.

With just minutes to spare, Quentin slapped some back shoes on Peter. Kim sad-

dled him up, shined him up, and hopped on.

Kim was understandably nervous. She was uncertain how Peter would handle both the excitement of an unfamiliar job and seeing a starting gate again after many years. “He got a little excited in the paddock,” she said.

Peter then headed out to keep his eye on a qualifier. The outing went off without a hitch. Kim then rushed Peter back to the barn where Quentin finished shoeing the bay’s front feet. Peter had just a short break before he headed back to the paddock for the big races in front of the afternoon crowd.

When given the chance to prove his worth, Peter showed all that he was a pro.

Peter showed his excitement with a slight tremble of sweat in his coat, but performed like a seasoned vet, as he handled a few anxious moments, typical for an outrider’s day at the races. After a mare kicked over a hopple and broke a hopple hanger, driver John Chappell used Kim and Peter’s assistance to grab the mare for repairs -- Peter even put up with an angry nip on the neck from the mare as he led her.

Kim and Peter went on to outride the entire weekend, which also included a double card of harness and thoroughbred racing.

The duo went on to ‘pony’ a thoroughbred in post parade, and even helped collar a runaway thoroughbred that got a little out of control. “When I caught that thoroughbred, they were asking me what breed my horse was,” Kim laughed. “When I said an 18-year-old standardbred, they were amazed.”

Way to go Bucs Congratulations to the Central Alberta Buccaneers.

Wait, why are we congratulating the Bucs?

Didn’t they lose and miss their chance at Alberta Football League championship?

The Bucs may have lost the semi-final, but they still had their best season of all time, and that is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it is rather something to be proud of.

A season with only one loss (and that one by a narrow margin to an undefeated team) is something that the Bucs deserve to boast about. They made team history this season by defeating the Calgary Wolfpack and finished the regular season second in the league.

Not only that, but the Bucs stuck it out to the very end of the semi-final.

Despite being down most of the second half, the team played hard and battled it out with the Stars until the last bitter seconds of the match.

Sport is not all about winning and losing. Yes, of course it’s disappointing that the Buccaneers didn’t

make it all the way to the final but they still had a stellar season and we are proud of them for it.

We aren’t the only ones either.

As was shown by the incredibly full stands at ME Global Field on Sunday afternoon’s game and previous Buccaneers games, the team has an incredibly dedicated fan-base, one that was only strengthened by this incredible season.

A fan-base that surrounds any sports team becomes more than just a group of fans. It becomes a community that grows around a team.

It also becomes stronger the better the team does, which means that the better the team, the better the fans. They feed off each other’s energy and become stronger together.

For evidence of this, one need only look to Sunday’s game. When the crowd got going, so did the Bucs.

As much as players like to say that they tune out the roar of the stands, they feed off the energy of their fans. The last big drive that the Bucs had at the Stars’ end zone was completely fueled by their audience at

spirit, a being all unto its own.

And so, we congratulate the Buccaneers on their greatest season ever. We look forward to seeing

them do it all over again next season. We are proud of them no matter what the final outcome was and we wish them all the best in the seasons to come.

Another year of tremendous growth in Blackfalds The Town of Blackfalds has just completed a local census. The tremendous pace of growth continues and Blackfalds is now home to 7,275 residents – a 7.51% increase over last year.

Tracey Scheveers

ME Global Field on Sunday.

It shows that there is more to football, or any sport really, than the game itself. It is a community, a

STOL First I would like to thank the residents for participating in the census. With our fast-paced growth it is extremely important that we gather data more frequently than the federal government’s five-year census schedule. The municipality has tried to make participating as easy as possible – 2013 saw the introduction of online census reporting. Residents could submit their information online sparing a visit from a census enumerator. Those who did chose to wait for the faceto-face visit had their information punched into an iPad at the door

and the data was instantly collated into the census report. Thirty-four per cent of households chose the online method of reporting and I am confident that next year more residents will choose this cost effective and time saving option.

The official population number has a positive impact on the grants we receive from the provincial government. Blackfalds will benefit in additional financial support for the RCMP, the library and the Street Improvement grant. With an increase of 508 people over last year, the increase in grants far outweighs the cost of collecting the data.

I am sorry to report though that there were 52 residences that were known to be occupied did not complete the census. It is unfortunate that we won’t be receiving all the financial support that this community could definitely use.

The census also provides valuable information on the services that need to be expanded locally to meet our unique demographic make up. There are, for example,

962 kids under the age of five living in Blackfalds – 180 of them are two-years-old. While a new school was announced this past spring, if we are thinking about the longterm future of our community one new school simply will not meet the ongoing demand for local education needs. Blackfalds needs a solid plan from our school boards – both public and Catholic and from the education ministry to offer a complete Kindergarten to Grade 12 education locally.

Solid population growth is also a significant driver of economic development. Small business owners, medium to large franchises and investors can see great opportunities in Blackfalds. This year has already seen strong expansion of our commercial sector, including the opening of a veterinarian clinic, the bottle depot, a second dental office and a new hotel opening soon.

If you are an entrepreneur looking for a thriving community to build a business in and would like to learn more about our community please give Terry a call at the town office

403-885-4677. He would be happy to talk with you about what Blackfalds has to offer as well as provide a copy of the 2013 census with all its important demographic information.

The census will also be available for download from www.blackfalds.com.

High growth can present a number of challenges to a municipality.

Always a concern to a council is how to meet ever-growing demands for services for citizens. More roads to plow, more parks to care for, more facilities needed like the Abbey Center – all of these things and more need to grow along with the population.

But even if it is a challenge it also is exciting to be involved with this town during this time of change.

Given a choice, I would always want to be in a community like Blackfalds that is growing, changing and maturing. So congratulations Blackfalds – a population of 7,275 is a milestone to celebrate!

Melodie Stol is the mayor of Blackfalds.

Letters to the editor

Readers encourage residents to complete garbage survey Did you know that proposed changes to garbage collection in the City of Lacombe affects every residence?

Residents who currently have communal alley dumpsters are facing replacement of dumpsters with individual black rollout bins, which according to the Solid Waste Roadmap (SWRM) will cost you approximately $3.50 per month per household. According to Bylaw 316, these rollouts “shall be stored within the property in such a manner as to not be unsightly in appearance.”

To encourage more people to recycle, the SWRM is also recommending a blue tote rollout for each residence of approximately 300 l. size, using a third party contractor for collection, at an estimated cost of $8/ month/household for weekly pickup, or $6/month/household for bi-weekly pickup.

As well, the SWRM states that with the

introduction of blue totes, the Wolf Creek Recycle Depot could be used solely for brush and wood chips rather than household recyclables.

This means that County residents, who currently use that facility, would no longer have the option of recycling at that depot.

The rollouts must be placed at least two metres apart for pickup, must not weigh more than 75lbs and the bin lids must be totally closed, or they will not be picked up.

The SWRM suggests that the current ‘grass bins’ could become ‘compost bins’ and accept everything from yard waste to food waste. There is a concern with odour and pests should this go forward.

In order to deal with the compost material, the City proposes to purchase a ‘HotRot’ system to process the compost at an initial capital investment of $528,400.

This system operates only above -15C

and would be purchased from New Zealand (only two currently in use in North America).

Estimated increase to utility bills is unknown at this time.

Those households currently using rollouts are affected by having a garbage rollout, a recycling rollout, with it being unknown at this time as to how composting will be instituted in their areas.

At the City’s barbeque on June 28th at the LMC, large green rollouts for composting were on display.

The SWRM also states that by having every household separate their garbage from recycling and composting, there could be a possibility of changing to bi-weekly pickup.

Every household in the City of Lacombe is impacted by these proposed changes.

It is imperative that residents do the sur-

vey presented by the City – either online at www.lacombe.ca/garbage or in hard copy, which can be picked up at the City office.

The CAO of the City, according to Bylaw 316, paragraph #12, has the power to designate the type and location of receptacle or container used for garbage.

We must make sure that she (and City council members) bases her decision on our expressed opinions.

Please do the survey!

The survey needs to be completed before the end of August.

The survey results will be presented with recommendations to City council at their meeting on Sept. 9 which starts at 5 p.m.

Let’s be present at that meeting – your attendance is important!

A culture of safety does more than just reduce accidents Workplace culture is a significant component of workplace safety. Hazards like heavy equipment, motorized equipment, heights and dangerous chemicals to name a few, make jobs dangerous.

But even environments with few hazards can be dangerous if the workplace culture permits it. While some companies and even whole sectors experience very high levels of injury, others have seen steady reductions in incidents over the years. Culture is an important contributor to this performance and it is one of the most important tools managers can use to get results.

A culture of safety requires attention to both the rules and to the beliefs of everyone following those rules, an essential component of any safety program. Standards are needed to govern all aspects of the workplace environment, including rules for site setup and maintenance, welldefined job roles and responsibilities and processes for monitoring and ensuring a

safe work environment.

But having staff that knows the rules is not the same as having staff that believe in them. Culture comprises both knowledge and belief.

Culture, in an organization, must begin at the senior levels and must be built into a company’s DNA. When safety impacts leadership and senior people, or directors are liable, then safety is not just an operational concern it becomes a strategic issue that must be dealt with at the senior levels of an organization.

Ideally a director should be assigned to the safety portfolio of a company and be responsible for initiatives that operationalize key safety issues.

At the board level, or executive level, goals for key safety metrics need to be decided on and plans put in place to determine the degree to which the company is meeting those targets. Metrics need to include both performance as well as atti-

tudes to safety.

Building a culture of safety within an organization requires a clear understanding of the beliefs that need to be instilled in everyone, from the senior staff to the newest employee.

The cultural beliefs regarding safety must be well thought through and must be infused into every aspect of the employee management process from hiring to retiring. In addition to excellent training and ongoing safety reviews, employees should be encouraged and incentivized to participate in the process of ensuring that safety rules are adhered to.

Accidents are costly in more ways than one.

In addition to having direct and significant costs, accidents reduce the credibility of the company and can significantly impact a company’s productivity. Accidents or near misses also affect employee confidence and loyalty. How a company deals

with incidents is an important measure, from the employee’s perspective, of the degree of importance that the company places on safety. In a culture of safety, employees believe that their active participation in the safety process is beneficial to them, to their co-workers and to the company.

They believe that the extra work to follow the rules is worth it.

A culture of safety requires a commitment in time and energy at all levels of an organization. While there is a cost, the long-term benefits are significant.

A culture of safety will do more than just reduce accidents; it will create a more satisfying work environment and ultimately sends a message that management cares about its employees.

A look at old backhouses and Hallowe’en The column this week will deal neither with people nor agriculture but will instead focus on an institution of the past, an icon of pioneer architecture that still exists in remote areas that have yet to benefit from the modern convenience of running water.

This institution has been commemorated in both literature and poetry of which the best-known item may be The Passing of the Backhouse, a poem from days of yore credited to James Whitcomb Riley.

‘When Grandpa had to “go out back” and make his morning call, We’d bundle up the dear old man with muffler and a shawl.

I knew the hole on which he sat -- ‘twas padded all around, And once I tried to sit there -- ‘twas all too wide I found, My loins were too little, and I jack-knifed there to stay, They had to come and get me out, or I’d have passed away, My father said ambition was a thing that boys

Howard

FREDEEN should shun, That I should use the children’s hole ‘til childhood days were done.’

Yes those houses frequently had two holes, one adult size and the other for juniors, and an old Eaton’s catalogue would lie on the broad seat for use as required. In affluent settings the shiny pages of the catalogue were supplemented with newsprint. Once each year the delicate tissue wrappings found on the mandarin oranges might find their way to the backhouse. That was luxury beyond compare.

Old (very old) timers in Lacombe may remember the gems that used to stand at the very back of each town lot. They were always tempting targets for night time Halloween pranks.

Pushing them over with the

occupant inside or moving them backwards a foot or so to trap the unwary who had to make their way hastily to the little house in the dark of night ranked as great sport for the sadistically minded.

Occasionally the pranksters tipped a structure with a pipe-smoking occupant and got more got much more than they bargained for. The resulting conflagration would see them drafted into the volunteer fire department.

Nor were such fires restricted to Halloween. Pipe smoking adults cleaning the last embers from their morning pipe before rising to face the challenges of the day might inadvertently deposit some glowing embers to the depths.

And any youth attempting his first smoke in the seclusion of the little shanty might, in panic on hearing approaching footsteps, consign the evidence to the nether regions.

No doubt it was such an incident that inspired the old poem Oh shed a tear for Tommy McGuire who ran down the street with his

He responded “Yes, we’ve had a number of American visitors who want to take the whole unit home and place it alongside Queen Mary that they installed somewhere in the Arizona desert.”

For further information on the architectural splendor of the old-fashioned

back house and the creativity of its builders search the Internet for the topic ‘Gems of American Architecture’.

pants on fire.

These gems were still functioning in Lacombe in the mid-1950s when the United Church held their Sunday school classes in the former Methodist church hall.

Students and teachers alike will never forget those frigid encounters on frosty winter mornings. Hotels had to provide a facility for occupation on more than one level. Lakeview hotel on Gull Lake reputedly provided a two-storey unit with two ‘closets’ mounted one above the other. Standalone units also featured a wide selection of designs and decorations with construction materials that ranged from wood to brick.

But none could compare in elegance with the unit I saw in the Red Lion Inn in Oxford. England in 1969; twin urinals standing over 6 ft. tall, a sink equally massive, and a toilet, all created in china featuring the famous Blue Willow pattern.

I could not pass up the photo opportunity the scene offered and after snapping the picture I commented on the elegance to the porter.

ARTS S & LEISURE ME Global ups contribution to Ellis Bird Farm

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express ME Global has helped to make the vision of Ellis Bird Farm into a reality.

On Aug. 11 at the Ellis Bird Farm (EBF), ME Global, EBF’s chief supporter, announced they would be increasing their initial pledge toward building a new visitors’ centre at the Ellis Bird Farm.

It was unveiled recently that ME Global would be contributing $450,000 to the project rather than their initial pledge of $225,000.

Rocco Schurink, vice-president of operations at ME Global, said that, as EBF’s chief supporter, ME Global felt they had some responsibility to help make the new visitor centre a reality.

“Part of being a responsible care company is actually to return value to the Ellis Bird Farm community,” said Schurink.

He added that Ellis Bird Farm is the first initiative ME Global supported when it started at the Prentiss site and so it holds a special significance to the company.

“It is very important for us to continue to support the bird farm and strengthen its future as well,” said Schurink.

In addition to that, he said it is clear just by looking that the Ellis Bird Farm is an important facility to keep around.

He said it is obvious from the hard work and passion that the board, EBF team and everyone else involved with Ellis Bird Farm puts into the place that it is a worthwhile initiative to invest in.

Schurink added there is clearly a need for it as well, as 12,000 visitors take advantage of the Ellis Bird Farms, displays, programming and information each year. He also said there is a need for nature conservancies such as this in Central Alberta.

Ken Wigmore, chair of the Ellis Bird Farm board, said

that with a few other minor donations, EBF now has the full amount needed to begin the visitor information centre project.

He added that ME Global has helped Ellis Bird Farm move closer to a goal that was set a long time ago, before Wigmore even got involved with the board three years ago.

“We have been working with this for quite a length of time,” said Wigmore. He added that, now that finances are in place, there is a long road and a lot of work still ahead for the Ellis Bird Farm to construct the visitor information centre it has been working towards for such a long time.

Wigmore said that the initial drawings of the new visitor information centre were graciously donated by George Berry of Berry Architecture & Associates and the next steps are to get some blueprints drawn up, find contractors and get shovels in the ground. Wigmore said he personally would like to see the project, or at least those steps of it, completed by April of next year.

Ellis Bird Farm’s new visitor centre would house more washrooms, offices, a staff room, a gift store and enough room to hold 100 people seated, said Wigmore.

He said that all these facilities are needed to improve Ellis Bird Farm’s utilization as it is lacking any kind of indoor facilities making it difficult to operate in rainy or other inclement weather.

“We want the place busy.”

Wigmore added that he hopes building this project will lead to further expansion of Ellis Bird Farm, something he personally is in favour of.

Schurink agreed.

I think this is an essential step for the future of Ellis Bird Farm to attract even more people to this beautiful site.” news@lacombeexpress.com

In fact he met it head on, in true cowboy style, and raised $355,000 for the Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation recently.

Since 2008, Bamford has generated over $1 million through The Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation to support organizations such

talented musicians who perform and donate their time, to the sponsors who always support us, we are able to help those in need.

These are great people and we look forward to working with them every year,â€? says Bamford. “Three hundred and ďŹ fty-ďŹ ve thousand dollars is a lot of money that will help many.â€?

SPORTS Stars leave Buccaneers dazed in semi-final

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express After their best season ever, the Central Alberta Buccaneers’ hopes for an Alberta Football League Championship Title came to a grinding halt when they lost 15 – 3 to the St. Albert Stars last Sunday.

Head Coach Duane Brown said the Bucs’ weakness in this game was one they have struggled with all season.

“Our Achilles’ heel was the same Achilles’ heel we have had all year – our inconsistent offense,” said Brown. “We couldn’t get any movement and when we did we turned around and shot ourselves in the foot with a turnover, with a fumble, or with a penalty.”

Brown’s comments pretty much sum up how the game went on Aug. 11. While the Bucs were ahead in the first half, they failed to gain any momentum and ended the half only three points ahead of the scoreless Stars.

Whenever the Bucs got their hands on the ball in the second half, they began a slow and steady march up the field towards the end zone, but each time they got close, some kind of mistake turned the tides against them.

It was those mistakes that ultimately cost the Buccaneers the game and their shot at an Alberta Football League championship, said Brown.

He said that the Bucs should have built on the lead they had at the end of the first half. Unfortunately things don’t always work out the way you want.

“The first we were in the lead, the second half we should have dominated,” said Brown. “They took it to us in the second half.

Hats off to them, they played a hell of a game.”

There were no surprises from the Stars on Sunday, said Brown, they just came out and played hard. “They did absolutely nothing different than what we ex-

He added that the difference was the Stars’ execution. While the Stars were following their game plan, errors on the Bucs part ended up costing them yards and thereby points as well.

“When you have guys make silly mistakes, it costs them,” said Brown.

While the Bucs’ defensive line was solid as always, they can’t

stop every single play they face.

Any team can capitalize on a lucky break and Brown said that is exactly what happened on the Stars’ scoring plays.

“Like it was all season long, our defense was the heart and soul of this team today,” said Brown. “Our inconsistent offence was the backbreaker.”

Not only did the Bucs play a spectacular defensive game, the

Stars also stepped up their defensive performance since the last time they visited Lacombe.

“It was just one of those days where the head didn’t follow the heart,” said Brown.

Looking forward to next season, he said he foresees a lot of turnover within the team.

He said it is unfortunate the team will be losing some of its veterans, but the team is aging

and many players who have been playing for a decade or more can’t play forever.

Brown added that there was also some great new talent that rose from within the Bucs’ ranks this season. He said he is confident that the Bucs can continue to build a solid team around the younger players that have shown great promise this season. news@lacombeexpress.com
