Welcome Wagon promotes City and greets newcomers Canada-wide program serves to strengthen community ties

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express

B

eing welcomed is a great feeling.

That is exactly what Welcome Wagon, an initiative run in communities across Canada since 1930, exists to do. Pryna Koberstein, Welcome Wagon representative for Lacombe, said that she finds the program has great value in helping newcomers settle in.

“I think it’s an awesome service, a great way for them to get to know the community,” said Koberstein. She added that the Welcome Wagon provides many connections to local services and saves newcomers a lot of searching.

Lacombe’s Welcome Wagon program has been running in Lacombe for over 30 years, said Koberstein. She herself has been involved with Welcome Wagon for about four years.

She said she got involved with the program after retiring from her job with the City, then Town, of Lacombe. She said she finds the program a good way to promote the community.

It is important for Lacombe’s residents to take advantage of what Lacombe has to offer, said Koberstein.

Therefore, the Welcome Wagon is an important program to have as it introduces newcomers to those great amenities that Lacombe has to offer.

“Lacombe is awesome but we are a bedroom community,” said Koberstein. “I just think that a lot of people don’t realize what we all have to offer here in Lacombe.”

Welcome Wagon is best known for welcoming new residents to the community, but they provide other services as well. Koberstein explained it by saying it is Welcome Wagon’s job to visit people who are going through a lifestyle change.

In Lacombe, that means visiting residents who are new to the community and residents who have new additions to their families.

Koberstein said that Welcome Wagon also provides services to new brides, seniors and businesses but not all of those services are

part of the program in Lacombe.

There are some guidelines as to what items and information should be included in Welcome Wagon baskets, said Koberstein, but representatives are largely independent.

The only mandatory items for the welcome baskets are a letter from the mayor, a local map, information on the local library, information on the local recreation centre, local newcomers club, employment centre, information on transit and recycling information.

Koberstein said that a big part of Welcome Wagon’s job is providing information.

She said she provides a great deal of information to new residents regarding such topics as the Kinsmen Aquatic centre, the Lacombe trail system, Lacombe Corn Maze, recreation programs offered by the City and the Wolf Creek Youth Unlimited U-Turn Centre.

For packages welcoming new babies, there is information from the Government of Canada regarding child safety, immunization, local hospitals and other services that benefit new parents or their new babies.

The welcome packages also include goodies and samples from local businesses pertaining to the people being welcomed.

For example, a package welcoming a new family might contain free cookies from the local grocery store and a free pass to the pool from the City. Other neat things, like welcome letters from the local MLA and MP for new residents or a certificate announcing the birth of Lacombe’s newest citizen for new babies, can be found in the packages as well.

What Koberstein likes best about the program is meeting all the newcomers to Lacombe, she said. She added she particularly enjoys meeting new moms with new babies.

“They always have these perfect little fingers and toes,” said Koberstein. “They are so sweet.”

Koberstein added that she has met people from all over Canada, into the United Sates and even elsewhere in the globe through the program as well.

“It’s always interesting to find out why they are here and everyone always has a story to tell.”

Welcome Wagon has value for local businesses as well, said Koberstein.

“I think it’s a great way for them to be involved in their com-

munity and to create good will within their community,” said Koberstein. “I think it’s a great way for them to showcase how good the businesses are in Lacombe.”

Any newcomers wishing to request a visit from the Lacombe

Welcome Wagon or businesses interested in sponsoring Welcome Wagon can learn more by contacting Pryna Koberstein at 403348-9567 or through the Welcome Wagon web site at www.welcomewagon.ca. news@lacombeexpress.com

WELCOME - Pryna Koberstein visits new residents to Lacombe on behalf of Welcome Wagon to share packages and provide information to newcomers.

Christie re-elected as mayor in narrow race

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express In a very close mayoral race for Lacombe, Steve Christie has been re-elected by a margin of 63 votes against Grant Creasey, according to unofďŹ cial results. “It’s awesome,â€? said Christie. “It’s a great feeling. I love doing what I do.â€?

Christie said that he is excited to work with the new team that is Lacombe City council.

He added he is happy to see incumbents Reuben Konnik, Wayne Rempel and Peter Bouwsema re-elected

and is looking forward to working with the three new councillors Grant Harder, Bill McQuesten and Wayne Armishaw as well.

‘IT’S AWESOME. IT’S A GREAT FEELING. I LOVE DOING WHAT I DO.’ STEVE CHRISTIE Christie also said he hopes he and council can carry on the momentum from last term and from this election to get to work right away. “The closeness of this election has also got the

He added that his reelection means even more to him with the race being so close.

Elections can be stressful at times for anyone who is seeking re-election, said Christie.

He added that the rewards are worth the hard work and emotion put into the election and he is proud to be part of the process.

Christie also said getting re-elected is a huge relief and he will continue working to encourage more and more people to get involved in the political process. “It is emotional. It is hard on one’s psyche for sure.

DeďŹ nitely it is an emotional roller-coaster.â€?

said Christie.

Creasey agreed. “I think it was a very good showing,� he said. “Certainly not a runaway by any stretch of the imagination.�

Of course, Creasey said he would rather the numbers came up in a different order but was proud of his run for mayor and said that losing, as well as winning, is part of democracy. “Naturally I’m disappointed. But that’s democracy at work.�

Creasey also has expressed desire to continue to be involved in committees and boards and Christie encouraged him to do so. “We’d love to keep him involved,� said Christie.

Well-known for being outspoken in Council Chambers, Creasey said that it is important for council to remember that

they can’t always be popular while making the right decision. He added that he hopes councillors will continue to speak up during council deliberations.

Christie agreed that Council Chambers are a place for councillors to speak their minds and said that discussion, not necessarily the votes they lead up to, are the most important part of the decision making process. “I don’t think the vote itself is the important thing,� said Christie.

Some of the ďŹ rst priorities for Christie and the new council include the Wolf Creek Crossing and attracting more commercial business to Lacombe, which Christie noted received a lot of attention during the campaign, particularly at the forum on Oct. 16. news@lacombeexpress.com

Melodie Stol is re-elected as mayor of Blackfalds

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express According to the Town of Blackfalds’ unofficial election results, Melodie Stol has been re-elected as mayor of Blackfalds for a third term.

“I’m so excited,” said Stol. She added she is happy to be in such a fast-growing community and one of the first priorities for herself and council will be to man-

age that growth effectively.

Making sure that growth benefits everyone from new areas, to old areas, to business owners, to families is important to Stol, she said.

As for Blackfalds Town council, which was elected by acclamation, Stol said there will be a teambuilding phase where she and the rest of council learn how they will best work together. She added that council will be working

with municipal consultant George Cuff to orientate the new members and shortly after will have the municipal convention followed by budget season, all of which are prime opportunities for the new council to find out how they will mesh together.

“You get to know each other pretty quick.”

Stol thanked her opponent Wayne Tutty for offering the people of Blackfalds

A message from Steve Christie:

Thank you.

It has been great getting to know you better.

Let’s keep in touch.

During my recent campaign for Mayor of Lacombe you welcomed me into your homes, your neighbourhoods, and your gathering places. I thank you for your support and I look forward to serving as your Mayor over the next four years. Please continue to keep in touch so we can work on making our community even better!

a choice for mayor.

She said that she has worked with Tutty both as mayor and councilor with past councils and added he is just as passionate about the future of Blackfalds as she, although the two of them have different methods of achieving what is best.

“Wayne is a good man and he does love Blackfalds just as much as I do. I don’t think it’s ever a question that, who wants the best for Blackfalds.”

Stol added that she is thankful the people of Blackfalds have once again chosen her style as mayor as the one they want representing their community.

Tutty also commented on the time he and Stol had spent on council together and complimented Stol on her capabilities as mayor.

“She is very capable person and she is quite knowledgeable about what it takes to be a mayor.”

While he accepts the results of the election as part

As can be expected, Stol said that elections are very stressful times and it is a relief to know the results, even if they are unofficial at this time. Stol also said she was happy Blackfalds had gone with electronic voting which made the wait times for results shorter.

“Just to know and move on, that relief was so nice to have,” said Stol.

Stol added that she found running for re-election to be a humbling and reflective experience.

“When you are mayor, you’re used to being in charge,” said Stol. “And the fact of the matter is we never are really in charge.

“It’s the people in our communities who are in charge. During election season you turn over all that power and energy into your community.”

Running clean campaigns Sixty-three votes. Wow. We don’t think Lacombe’s mayoral race could have gotten any closer.

It is good to see two individuals so passionate about supporting their community that they both fought so hard to be able to represent that community as mayor. It is also great to see such fine competition in an election and in politics in general.

Competition is an essential part of the political process. Only by competing with each other can individuals be elected to council or any level of government for that matter.

As competition is essential to elections and the political process, so too are fairness and sportsmanship. They go hand in hand.

These practices should extend beyond the end of the election as well. So far that seems to be true.

When the numbers came in on Monday night for the election results, Grant Creasey was quick to call up his opponent Steve Christie and congratulate him on winning the election. (Election results will remain unofficial until Friday).

Christie also congratulated Creasey on his campaign and when Creasey expressed interest in still being involved with local politics

(albeit in a less official manner), Christie encouraged him to do so.

It is obvious that both candidates ran fantastic campaigns. Therefore, both candidates deserve a pat on the back and should be proud of themselves and their teams.

Losing by only 63 votes is nothing to scoff at and Creasey should be very proud of his accomplishment.

Christie should also be happy for the close votes as it makes his victory mean that much more. Both candidates have also expressed that they are glad of the close vote because it discourages complacency from the local government.

Lacombians should be glad to see that both the mayoral candidates as well as all the councillors elected demonstrated fairness and sportsmanship in their campaigns.

Instead of condemning their opponents, these individuals promoted their own qualities, and they won.

Clearly, this is a far better way to win votes than those used by many other politicians.

Perhaps our politicians at other levels of government could learn something from the examples of our local government representatives.

Politics today are sadly lacking the fine qualities of fairness and

sportsmanship. Such despicable campaign practices like attack ads and smear campaigns are becoming more and more prominent at the federal and even provincial lev-

els with each election.

As such it is heartening to see that the values of fairness and sportsmanship are still upheld in Lacombe.

You get a call from a friend on a Friday night that has had a few too many and needs a ride home.

Recognizing your friend has made the right decision by calling you instead getting behind the wheel anyway, you make the easy decision and pick them up, knowing the few minutes of inconvenience is a small price to pay for the safety of your friend and everyone else on the road.

Doubtlessly, that was what 17-year-old Erin Cox was thinking when she got such a message from her friend who was intoxicated at a party. However, things for Cox turned out much differently than one would expect.

Cox, an honour student and captain of North Andover High School volleyball team in North Andover, Massachusetts, was stripped of her title of captain and suspended for five games after driving her drunk friend home from a party.

After receiving a text from her friend who needed a ride, Cox ar-

BRIAN

VOSSEN rived at the party around the same time police were breaking it up.

Police arrested several of the partygoers and charged them with underage drinking, but confirmed that Cox was not drunk, nor drinking and was only there to pick up her friend. For some reason, the testimony from a police officer who was actually at the party was not good enough for the school and Cox was punished for doing the right thing and keeping a drunk driver off the roads. There are so many things wrong with this I barely know where to start. First off, Cox never violated the school’s zero-tolerance policy.

That policy is against drug and alcohol use.

Cox was not drinking, nor was she using drugs. So, how exactly did she violate a policy against us-

ing drugs or alcohol without at all using either of those substances?

Secondly, Cox is being punished for an incident that took place outside of school hours, off school grounds and as far as I’m concerned nowhere near the school’s jurisdiction. By what right exactly is the school punishing a student for something that has nothing to do with schooling itself ?

Finally, the third issue with Cox’s suspension is so messed up I can scarcely believe it. The only reason Cox went to that party at all was to stop her drunk friend from driving home, something that is commended as the act of a Good Samaritan. Except of course when schools decide to play politics and punish students for arbitrary reasons. Playing politics and using the ‘it’s our policy’ defense doesn’t even make sense here because Cox didn’t break that policy and didn’t do anything wrong.

I could maybe begin to understand North Andover High School’s actions if the reputation of school was besmirched in any way by this

incident, but it wasn’t. It’s not like photos of Cox at the party in her volleyball uniform or other such school attire were posted all over the Internet, because we would have seen them if that was the case.

If anything, the school’s reputation has improved with this incident exposing that the school produces such stand-up students.

Well, that is, it would have improved until that school decided to punish such students.

Think of the irony. Schools are institutions created to educate. We hope from this education that they grow into responsible adults.

But children learn more from schools than just what is taught by the formal lessons in the classrooms. They also learn things by how the school conducts its business and treats its students.

What Cox did would be seen by many (in fact, most of the population I would hope) to be a responsible action, but she was punished for it. Just what do you think students are learning from that? news@reddeerexpress.com

Letters to the editor

Local resident concerned with proposed development A hidden gem in Lacombe is scheduled to undergo a transformation. Directly north of The Lakes, east of Rosedale Valley and south of the ever-advancing shoreline of Elizabeth Lake, lies a mix of trees, grasses, water, and complex vegetation, home to a variety of wildlife.

The City many years prior had plans to put a subdivision on it (North Area Structure Plan). It seems the time has arrived and the required open house is in place, Oct. 24th 6 -8 p.m. in City Hall.

The proposed development of Rosemont Estates and Bowett Ridge, as it will be called, will result in serious loss of wild and sensitive habitat. Decades old forests, with all their rich display of life, will be sacrificed. Animals will lose habitat. To the owner’s credit, this expansion has been held off for several years, and the public has been allowed access to walk, pick berries, even bike and cross-country ski on it.

The current popular housing trend in

Lacombe is for generous-sized walkouts, and if there is proximity to a body of water, a lake view. If the developer adopts this approach, the timber must come down. It is likely that large homes, with groomed lawns, paved closes, street and cemented sidewalks will take nature’s place. With all structures, the buildings will age, and go out of style and favour, whereas the natural environment refreshes and energizes people through many generations.

Ideally, this would be a wonderful location for a nature centre, however this is not realistic, given the mechanisms that are already in place and the cost. A possible modification to the already existing plan is a creative development that could incorporate the natural setting and minimize the manmade ‘footprint.’ Google “Serenbe” to see an example of a community that has maintained 70% of the natural environment. Many have been working to set vision for growth and identity in Lacombe. I

Proponent of Solid Waste Roadmap speaks out I want to commend Brian Vossen, editor of the Lacombe Express and say thank you for the excellent opinion article written by him on the Solid Waste Roadmap in the Oct. 10 edition. You hit the nail on the head.

You voiced it as it was and I do appreciate that. It is true that the City of Lacombe was very remiss in the total implementation of this plan with a 2% respondent rate back in 2012.

The mayor and the council members are responsible as well, for rubber-stamping this recommendation as presented by City administration. I do hope that, the City administration and the council have all learnt from this and that they will all do their due diligence in the future.

This has been one big headache experienced by

two citizens who got the ball rolling. Margaret Garrett and myself took this issue on as matter of principle and the right to the democratic process. Despite some complacency by citizens initially, momentum was quickly gained once they became aware and understood the issues and how they would be impacted by the proposed changes.

The citizen support received through this long and challenging process has been tremendous and I could not have done it without you. Each and every one of you kept me going when I was ready to give up. We could not have accomplished what we did without citizen support and the words of encouragement that we received.

Bringing this issue to the forefront, to Lacombe

residents, has been more than a full time commitment when yes, I had other pressing matters. Let me just say that behind the scenes, this has been a very difficult and long process.

Had I known that initially, I may not have jumped to the challenge. We must never feel that we will not be heard or cannot impact change. This process has taught me that it can happen.

As we move forward with the new City council elected this week we need to hold them accountable, responsible for their decisions and how our City is being managed, on behalf of all the citizens of this community.

This new council needs to be the voice of its citizens and not be run on their own personal agendas.

Louise Pickett Lacombe

propose that Lacombe has opportunity to move further ahead by becoming a leader in introducing innovative, newer and alternative treatments to how a space is developed, and what it is used for. It takes courage and finance to incorporate them.

There is no doubt a ready market for smaller ‘green’ housing. There are choices such as affordable, compact, single-family dwellings that will hold value and be more attractive than some multiple housing choices. Neighbourhoods can be designed in smaller groups to share common open space such as garden courtyards.

People are attracted to communities where the natural environment is respected, and preserved. Red Deer has maintained large tracts of such land. The Edmonton river valley is famous for its size and variety. Vancouver has Stanley Park. Groomed and urbanized ‘green spaces’ cannot substitute entirely for native growth. We have some well-utilized places

such as Cranna and the trails around Elizabeth Lake.

However, there aren’t many wild areas left. Lacombe would do a service to see the value of what they have in this property and to look at ways to minimize the impact of development on this ecosystem.

If you haven’t had a chance to, walk through the area, do so, then look at the developer’s proposal and evaluate if it will truly benefit Lacombe. Also take note of the water levels on and near Elizabeth Lake, which have risen significantly in the past few years. This part of the property is in a place with a high water table.

May our leaders, and developers make good choices. Build and grow but do it wisely. May we, the citizens voice concern and care for the natural world around us, so that it remains with us for a long, long time. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Second annual lights exchange program

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express It’s time to get efficient.

The City of Lacombe is once again teaming up with Fortis Alberta and holding its Christmas light exchange program designed to reduce Lacombe’s energy footprint and help Lacombe residents save both money and energy.

Guy Lapointe, community and economic development manager for the City of Lacombe, said the City decided to offer such a program after seeing a need for it in the community and seeing success in similar programs from neighbouring communities.

“We wanted to reach out to our residents and provide a service,” said Lapointe. “Really it is about cutting energy costs.”

To participate in the lights exchange program, bring in two strings of old, incandescent bulbs and receive one set of brand new energy-efficient LED lights.

Participants can exchange for as many sets of LED lights as they have adults in their home, but must trade twice as many sets of incandescent bulbs.

Only incandescent bulbs are accepted as part of the exchange, said Lapointe. He added that the program is only open to residents of Lacombe.

Lapointe said that typically, the program is meant for the larger outdoor lights rather than the smaller indoor ones but both kinds of bulbs are accepted.

Last year, during the first year of the exchange, the program saw great success.

Lapointe said the City obtained $1,250 worth of LED lights for the program and ran through them in three weeks.

This year, the City has bumped that up to about $2,000 worth of lights, but still expects them to go rather quickly.

As sustainability is the point of the program, the incandescent lights are then recycled. Lapointe said the bulbs are removed and used in art and craft projects like Art in the Park and the wires are used as scrap metal. Last year, the City recycled over 250 strands of incandescent lights.

The program is funded by Fortis Alberta who provides the LED lights to the City at no cost. That means there is no cost to Lacombe taxpayers for the program either.

A portion of the funding also goes to pay for the light display at and around Lacombe Memorial Centre, which is also in its second year.

Lapointe said the City decided to do a lights display at the LMC after its first Light Up The Night event, where some found the light display to be lacking. He added that one person commented a city should have one central light display that stands out as is common in municipalities Lacombe’s size and larger.

For more information about the program, contact Guy Lapointe at 403-7821263.

The City of Lacombe is growing and the current blueprint for that growth is in need of an update. The blueprint is known as the Municipal Development Plan (MDP), and it was written in 2004 with a small amendment in 2009. The MDP sets out rules for development, such as how and where land will be developed.

Being a ten year old plan, many of the areas identified for development have since been developed. The MDP will look at new areas for growth and set out parameters which will allow existing areas to change and adapt so that the entire community continues to have new investment and can grow together.

In order to update the MDP, a variety of land use topics will need to be reviewed and considered. The City has invested a lot of time and research into developing new plans, such as the transportation master plan and the recreation and culture master plan. The MDP Update will review all of these plans and link their goals and actions together to create a community plan that provides places for live, work, play, and energy and connections between these places. For the next seven weeks, a series of articles in this newspaper will discuss different topics that will be reviewed as part of the MDP update. We want to hear from you through our Facebook account (Lacombe MDP Update) about how these topics affect you; what should change, and what should stay the same.

We also want to encourage everyone to get out and explore this great community so we are challenging you to a seven-week Scavenger Hunt. Each week there will be a clue published within the article and hints on our Facebook page. Identify the clue, and submit it to us at the end of the seven weeks and you could win an Annual Family Swim Pass or some great City of Lacombe merchandise!

Scavenger Hunt Clue #1 Since the MDP was adopted Lacombe has seen a lot of development, especially housing and new neighborhoods, but there have been changes to commercial lots, street layouts, and industrial development. In 2003, an air photo of the ‘Town’ of Lacombe was taken. Can you spot five major differences between then and now? If you need some hints, a map of 2013 can be found on our website!

And in looking at the changes, what are your thoughts on how Lacombe has grown over the last ten years?

Grant MacEwan was no ordinary man Grant MacEwan was a unique person.

He was born on a farm in Manitoba, raised on a homestead near Melfort, Saskatchewan, earned a BSA degree (1926) from the University of Toronto, a MSc degree (1928) from Iowa State College and then was hired by the University of Saskatchewan where he began his long and distinguished career as educator, agriculturist and historian.

He moved from Saskatchewan in 1946 to become dean of agriculture and home economics at the University of Manitoba.

Returning to Calgary in 1951 as head of the Canada Beef Council, he became involved in politics, serving five years as alderman and mayor, as MLA for the Calgary constituency, and then as lieutenant governor of Alberta for two terms, 1966-1974.

He died in Calgary in 2000 at the age of 98.

MacEwan was a frugal person. And it was that frugality that gave rise to many stories of his career.

He disdained the ‘Robber Barons’ as he termed those

Howard

FREDEEN who operated the railways and hotel systems. When invited to speak at functions, be they civic events or livestock meetings, he always traveled by bus and patronized YMCA accommodation.

Invited as mayor of Calgary to address a board of trade meeting in Grande Prairie he walked from the bus depot to the meeting hall only to be stopped at the reception desk and asked for $10. “Why the charge?” he asked as he made payment. The reply: “We have to cover expenses for the geezer they’ve invited from Calgary to speak today.” And there never were expenses; MacEwan refused to accept even a proffered honorarium!

And the same frugality became a hallmark of his

tenure as lieutenant governor of Alberta. The Vice Regal chauffeur related a story (one of many) of the time he drove MacEwan to address a meeting in Lethbridge. When he called to pick up his passenger at MacEwan’s private residence (MacEwan did not use the ‘official’ residence) he was directed to the garage where a number of items awaited loading.

Then they were on their way, the chauffeur looking forward to the fine meals and accommodation he had experienced on trips with MacEwan’s predecessor.

But that was not to be this time.

At Calgary there was no stop at an up-scale restaurant; simply a brief pause at a grocery store while MacEwan made a few purchases then on to the Highwood River. Here on a picnic table in the roadside campground MacEwan arrayed his purchases – a wedge of cheese, a carton of milk, and a loaf of bread.

But the chauffeur knew that Lethbridge would be a different story, a regal banquet in the Marquis Hotel

Sponsors:

with MacEwan as the guest of honour followed by a night of rest in this historic hotel.

The banquet lived up to expectations but the night of rest did not. It began with the drive homewards.

Not until well after midnight, and some 30 miles north of Calgary, did MacEwan call for a halt.

Here, in a grove of trees beside the highway, he rolled out the sleeping bags they had loaded in the trunk that morning.

The position of lieutenant governor of Alberta includes the role of chief scout for the province. This was a role MacEwan embraced, welcoming Guides

and Scouts alike to award ceremonies held in the legislative chambers where he presented the Gold Cords, Chief Scout, Duke of Edinburgh and other awards for these organizations with a personal message for each recipient.

He was also a voice for 4H and donated his 143acre property situated beside Battle Lake for development of the Alberta 4-H Centre. In fact, any activity involving youth and the wilderness was bound to command his attention.

The last time I saw MacEwan in action was at an agricultural meeting in Saskatoon where he was the guest speaker for the

annual meeting of the Canadian Wool Growers Association. By now he was the Honorable Dr. Grant MacEwan for he was not only the ex-lieutenant governor of Alberta but also the recipient of four honorary LLD degrees.

It was a January morning when my brother and I caught up with him along the city street about two miles from his evening lodging -- the YMCA of course. We gave him a lift the last two miles to the meeting hall. He had come to Saskatoon by Greyhound. When the meeting concluded he boarded the same bus line for an overnight return to Calgary.

QUICK FEET - Lacombe Raider Kyle Popp, sporting pink socks in support of breast cancer research, sprints around the pack of Drumheller defenders in the Raiders’ first playoff game this season, Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express which they won 66-8.

Raiders carry regular season momentum into playoffs

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express It is beginning to seem like the Lacombe Raiders are an unstoppable force.

Whether they are playing in the regular season or playoffs certainly seems to have no bearing on how the Raiders perform.

On Oct. 18, Lacombe hosted Drumheller in the first playoff game of the season, winning the game in a landslide victory 66-8.

Mike Wood said that the whole team played strong and was very balanced between offense and defence.

On the defensive side, Wood said Skyler Budd and Eric Halbert stepped up their game with Budd intercepting two passes and Halbert making quite a few tackles to strengthen the game. Offensively, Wood

commended Kyle Popp (whose teammates call him Rhino) for some outstanding runs.

Now, the raiders are setting their sights on the league championship and Wood said the team is buckling down to take the title.

“We are a veteran team with a lot of heart and a lot strength and we are determined to end this season on top,” said Wood. “Our kids have set their goals to play as hard as they can six seconds at a time.”

Lacombe’s next challenge will come in the form of a game against Sylvan Lake, another new opponent for the Raiders who won their spot against Lacombe in the playoffs by defeating Notre Dame.

Wood said that Notre Dame is one of the more challenging teams in the league and thus he expects Sylvan Lake to be even more so.

He added that Sylvan Lake has a strong linebacker, leftback and a strong quarterback with a good arm the Raiders will have to watch out for.

“It’s going to be a tough game,” said Wood. “We will have to play our top game for sure.”

Both are games Lacombe will have to win without one of its starting players. Receiver Matt Darnell will be missing from the next two Raiders games as he is traveling to Kenya with his family as part of A Better World mission trip. Wood said some of the players who will be filling in Darnell’s position got a chance to get used to that role Friday night and the Raiders are confident they can make the game work with those adjustments.

“We’ll miss him of course,” said Wood.

“He was a great asset to our team.”

Luckily, Wood said the Raiders have been fortunate with injuries this season and as such there are no other holes in the team’s roster.

Should they win on Saturday, Lacombe will have another big challenge waiting for them in the final, against either Stettler or Strathmore. Wood said that the Raiders’ regular season game against Stettler was their biggest challenge of the year and added Strathmore is undefeated.

Either way it will be a tough game for Lacombe.

“This Stettler-Strathmore game will be a beat-up game for sure,” said Wood.

CACHS Knights have long road ahead of them

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express The Knights have some work ahead of them.

After losing three straight sets to Innisfail on Oct. 17, it is clear the Central Alberta Christian High School girls’ volleyball team has some skills to work on.

Coach Hans Doef said the team has a lot of raw talent and he is confident the girls can do better.

“We did not play up to the level that we can,” said Doef. “We didn’t play to win.”

While CACHS lost three consecutive sets last Thursday, none of them were by any means blowouts. In fact, none of the sets were won by more than a twopoint margin. “There were some glimmers of light and hope.”

Consistency was a problem for the Knights last Thursday, as it has been

much of the season.

Despite making some stellar plays and pulling ahead of their opponents more than a few times, they couldn’t maintain the momentum to pull off a win.

Doef said it was frustrating to watch his players make an error and then make exactly the right play the next time the opportunity arose and vice versa.

Doef said the team needs to become more aggressive on the court and work on putting together a com-

plete game. As the score got closer to the end of a set in favour of either team, it seemed as though the Knights got less confident, which led to them losing the match.

“When it comes to the critical moments, (we) kind of play scared,” said Doef. “That’s what happens when you over-analyze and are hesitant.”

Doef said the Knights started the season off strong, but have fallen into a slump. He added the

Knights still have a lot of volleyball ahead of them to work through their issues.

While the Knights are a young team and it shows, they also have a lot of talent, said Doef. However, that talent needs to be polished and the girls have a lot of basic fundamental skills they need to work on.

Doef added they are also a small team, which makes them coachable. In addition to being talented and coachable, the Knights are also very balanced.

The only obstacle is developing that balance of skills so they all become consistent on the court. news@lacombeexpress.com

NOW OPEN PUBLIC NOTICE Fire Service Standards

Please be advised that recent changes to Fire Service standards have been made within the City of Lacombe, which affect the identified Fire response times offered to residents of the City. The impact of these changes affects most of the community, although some parts of the inner downtown core remain unaffected. For those areas where there is an impact, the current setbacks for zoning will be maintained but improved construction standards will be required.

Alternatively, increased setbacks or sprinkling of units may offer opportunities to maintain previous construction standards.

A map of the areas impacted by improved construction standards can be found on the City’s website at www.lacombe.ca, or you may request a copy at City Hall.

The improved construction standards will be required as of December 1, 2013. All building permits issued after December 1, 2013 will be subject to the improved construction standards.

Please note that if a building permit is set to expire and a renewal is being requested after December 1, 2013, the renewal will be required to be developed with the new standards.

Generally speaking the improvements to construction standards will now require: • •

• • • •

1-855-747-2221

Exposed and exterior walls shall have a 45 minute fire resistance rating Cladding shall be: -non combustible or, -combustible if installed over exterior grade gypsum sheathing or masonry; or -the wall assembly tested and approved to the ULC S134 standard Sides are to be constructed same as face, no openings Undersides of projections exceeding 0.6metres to finished ground level will require protection as per 3.2.36. (5) (b) of the Alberta Building Code Soffits are to be protected by a material listed in clause 3.2.3.6.(5)(b) with no openings and are not permitted closer than 0.45m to the property line Side windows/glazing will not be permitted

The above list is not exhaustive. Projections such as fireplaces may have further requirements, depending on how close to the property line they are.

Please feel free to contact the Planning and Development Services Department at 403 782-1238 to discuss these changes.

ARTS & LEISURE Classic show pays tribute to legendary group

BY MARK WEBER Lacombe Express Fans of the enduring classics won’t want to miss OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons set for Oct. 27 at the Memorial Centre.

It’s an exciting musical revue written

by Motown producer and creative consultant George Solomon, directed by Michael Chapman with choreography by Paul Holmquist.

Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, My Eyes Adored You, Working My Way Back To You, Let’s Hang On and Who Loves You are just some of the hits audiences will enjoy from the songbook of those boys from Jersey - Frankie Vallie & the Four Seasons.

“We put this show together in the fall of 2008,” said Solomon, during an interview from his office in Los Angeles. “It’s all about the songs, and it’s done in a humorous way. You also get to know the four characters onstage. The audience also starts to really like the four individuals, and when the show is over they know their names.”

There are no big splashy special effects – just the power of the music, which is more than enough, he added. “It’s been crafted so well, you get really into it. You don’t need anything else but those four guys.”

Solomon describes himself as a huge fan of Valli, and recalls his older siblings listening to his tunes all the time.

“Even as a kid, (I found) his songs so catchy, and his voice was so accessible and irresistible. I find that even now when we have kids under 10 in the audience, they love this show. They come up to us afterwards, talking about how they love these songs, and how they listened to the words.”

These days, there are more than 50 guys divided into teams of four performing the show world-wide.

It’s a challenge to find the right performers, as producers aren’t just looking for one guy to ‘play’ Valli. “All four guys sing lead; all four are featured. You need four guys who can sing, have good comedy timing, who are good dancers and good actors on top of all of that, too.”

While the smash hit Jersey Boys is a musical biography of the group, OH WHAT A NIGHT! A Musical Tribute To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons is a concert and

tribute, which features all the original hits as well as top 10 releases not in Broadway’s Tony award-winning hit. This includes Valli’s biggest solo hit from the blockbuster movie Grease.

“I don’t think there is anybody, of any age, who doesn’t know that song. It was the very biggest hit of Frankie Valli’s solo career,” said Solomon, who is virtually a veteran performer having begun his professional career at age 15. While in New York City, he appeared in many theatrical productions and in a short time went onto receive a ‘Drama Critics Award for Best Actor’ in Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn.

Scouted by an ABC TV executive who prompted him to move to the west coast, Solomon landed a lead in the show Stars on 45, which went on to be filmed and released

by Universal MCA. This led to a role in the critically-acclaimed musical Dream Street for which he was the recipient of the Las Vegas Entertainment Personality of the

Year Award. He was later spotted by Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr., leading to an ongoing association with Emmy Award winning producer Suzanne Depasse.

Solomon was also asked to create a live production with Smokey Robinson.

The series Motown Review also gave Solomon the chance to perform with and for a variety of stars including Diana Ross, Bill Cosby, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, George Michael, Liza Minnelli among others.

“The only one that ever really left me speechless – think I stammered – was when I was face to face with Lucille Ball. She’s such a figure of our imagination from television, you just can’t believe she’s standing in front of you.”

In 1990, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. To this day their music continues to thrill all ages. To that end, the cast of the show stay true to the recordings without trying to mimic or impersonate the group.

As for the songs’ enduring appeal, Solo-

mon credits the songwriting finesse and Valli’s unique voice with much of its legendary nature.

“I think it’s the way the songs were crafted. I see them as little stories, and I think they had amazingly catchy hooks to them.

If you hear one of the songs once, you can sing it – the melody would be in your head and the harmonies are so pleasing to the ear. And Frankie’s voice – that instantly recognizable voice.”

The musical revue that organizers say has been captivating audiences with its choreography, boundless energy, humour and, of course, pop songs that have become timeless.

“It’s a feel-good show with great music and great performers. It’s family friendly – something you can definitely bring the kids too. It’s ageless.”
