Air Cadets share experiences with program Highlights over the summer included memorable trip to historic French sites

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express

T

wo Lacombe cadets are happy to share their experiences in the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program.

Sgt. Mitchel Pierce and Sgt. Joel Paquet of Lacombe are members of 65 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Ponoka who are grateful for the opportunities the program has granted them.

Pierce and Paquet both joined the Air Cadets because of their interest in both military and also aviation.

Both of them joined the program in 2012 at the age of 14.

Now 16, these young men are entering level four of the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Program and recently returned from a summer training camp in Gimli, Manitoba.

Paquet said the cadet program can be intimidating for new cadets, but it usually doesn’t take long for them to get hooked.

“There’s something about the program that just makes you want to come back for more,” said Paquet.

He added that once you get over the intimidation of the initial phase the cadets are quite open and friendly.

Pierce agreed, saying the camaraderie within the cadets is second to none.

“It’s a great way to make friends. I have made so many friends in that group,” said Pierce. He added there are incredible opportunities for cadets only available through the program, like the glider pilot training he undertook while in Gimli.

At summer training camps, there are a number of training programs cadets can partake in, said Pierce.

Some of them only require cadets to show interest and sign up.

Others, like the glider pilot training that Pierce did, are scholarship programs with a more indepth application process that includes writing an essay and completing an interview with the review board.

Pierce was initially told he did not qualify for the glider pilot training, but then was told he would be allowed to take the training shortly after arriving in Gimli.

He said that receiving his license was a long-time goal.

“I’ve always loved the idea of flying. I love planes,” said Pierce. “I thought there was no better way to spend the summer.

“It’s something that I have always wanted.”

Paquet also qualified late to complete the training and obtain his glider pilot’s license.

However, he was unable to undergo the training because of technical issues fairly tall for a 16-year-old, Paquet surpassed the 200 lb. weight limit for gliders by about two or three pounds.

Instead, Paquet completed the Advanced Aviation Training.

Paquet said the program takes cadets through what is called ‘ground school’ – training that teaches prospective pilots the technical side of flying, such as air law, engines and aerodynamics.

Paquet added the program differs little from what non-cadets would go through to become licensed.

He said the difference would be that in the cadet program, the Advanced Aviation Training program also shows cadets how to teach such classes

and they are expected to be able to teach a class by the end of the training.

However, Paquet and Pierce said the true value in summer camp training is the experience itself.

The stories and friends they make through the summer are just as valuable, if not more, than the actual training.

Summer training is not the only opportunity through cadets that has been a memorable experience for Pierce and Paquet.

In June, both of them were able to travel to Europe where they participated

in celebrations for the 70th anniversary of D-Day, spending most of their time in Normandy.

Paquet and Pierce said they were surprised by the contrast in how European nations treat D-Day as opposed to Canadians.

For Canadians, they said, D-Day is a somber remembrance of those who gave their lives in the invasion of Normandy.

For the French, it is the celebration of the day the liberation of their country began.

“That ceremony, it was amazing,” said Pierce.

year Anniversary!

“There were people hanging out their windows and clapping and waving Canadian flags at us as we walked by and they cheered.”

Paquet agreed.

“These people, to this day are very, very thankful,” he said. “As we walked past the French police force, they stopped and stood in columns and saluted us as we came by.

These people are very grateful for what (Canadians) have done.

“It’s a very happy day for the French.”

Standing on Juno Beach,

where the Canadian soldiers who were part of DDay fought, was something of a surreal experience for the young cadets, they said.

“It’s a very hard feeling to describe,” said Paquet as he recounted trying to imagine what it had been like for Canadian soldiers, scrambling without cover to secure the beach.

“It was amazing to be there,” said Pierce.

“It really gave me a brilliant understanding of why (D-Day) needed to happen.”

Amanda Lindhout preparing for next chapter

BY ERIN FAWCETT Lacombe Express A House in the Sky, co-authored by former Red Deer resident Amanda Lindhout and Sara Corbett of the New York Times, is set to hit the big screen.

Annapurna Pictures (who has done hit movies such as Zero Dark Thirty, American Hustle and Her) will produce the movie along with actress Rooney Mara, who will also star in the film as well. Mara is best known for her Oscarnominated role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Lindhout’s book, which

details accounts of torture, despair and ultimate survival in the 15-months she spent in captivity in Somalia after being kidnapped in 2008, has been on the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Maclean’s and the New York Times’ bestseller lists.

It was also included in The Globe and Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2013, The Quill and Quire’s 2013 Books of the Year and was one of New York Times’ Notable Books of 2013, among others.

Lindhout, who recently returned from the second leg of her book tour in the

United States after A House in the Sky was released in paperback, said she is thrilled her story was optioned for a film.

“I’m really excited about it. We’re at the next stage of it where we have a shortlist of incredible directors and actors that will play other roles.

Screenwriters have already started working on it and it’s a project that is very much moving forward,” she said. “This is what is special about this – books get options all the time but it’s very rare that immediately one of the

United States’ biggest production companies steps up and says we want it and we want to fund it and we believe in it. It almost never happens like that.”

Although turning her story into a movie was never an initial goal of Lindhout’s, offers came quite quickly after she was released in 2009, she said.

“I was approached by quite a number of directors and producers and actresses who were interested in turning my story into a film. I was never interested in any of the offers that were coming my way and it wasn’t quite my goal.

“The only reason things really changed for me was I got a letter through my agent from Rooney Mara.

She had read the book and was so emotionally impacted by the book. She wrote me this really emotional, thoughtful and deeply compassionate letter and she let me know that if I was ever thinking about turning the book into a film that she would really like to talk to me about it,” she said, adding she wrote Mara back and suggested they have a discussion about it. “We ended up meeting with my co-author Sara in Maine last fall and immediately I felt the same kind of connection with Rooney as I did with Sara.

“We had long conversations about what the story was and it was aspects of the story that I feel really passionate about – the transformative aspects of my personal experience – that she really resonated with. I felt like I could trust Rooney and that she really understood what I would want to get out of this.”

After their initial meeting, Mara found a production company, Annapurna

Pictures, who got onboard for the film. Lindhout and Corbett were brought onboard as consultants.

“They want my input in everything and that is part of the reason I feel so comfortable with it. I am working with a group of people who want to hear from me and want it to be as absolutely accurate as possible from my perspective,” she said.

“This is going to be a film that is really going to touch people’s lives. It is ultimately going to remind people of the strength of the human spirit and that we can get through unimaginable adversity.”

It is hoped the movie will begin production sometime next year.

In addition, since September, Lindhout has traveled to various countries promoting A House in the Sky. “The story itself is evolving as my life is everevolving and changing and so too is my comfort level with what happened to me.

With having my book come out there was a level of detail that was out there that just hadn’t been before and I almost needed to step into that,” she said. “The way that I talk now is very different from even a year ago.

I found that my narrative has changed a lot.”

Her life isn’t set to slow down anytime soon either.

Lindhout has enrolled at the University of Calgary for the fall where she will undertake part time studies in psychology.

She will also be heading to the Middle East on another speaking engagement as well.

“Since the book came out last September, my life has changed in ways that I couldn’t really have ex-

pected and that is due to the success of the book.

When I was working on the book with my co-author, it took us three and a half years to complete. Like any creative process you have no way to know what the outcome will be. But you do your best and your pour your heart into it and it launches and in my case – I can’t tell you how much it has meant to me in particularly in Canada and the United States, as well as other countries – that the public has just received the story so well with really open hearts.

“The other week I was at a conference and just before I spoke, Hillary Clinton spoke. I just pinch myself – I am a girl from Red Deer and I went through something that was really extraordinary and I survived and I tried to make the most out of it but I don’t think I could have ever imagined I would have the kind of opportunities that I have been afforded now because of the book and the decisions on the other side.

Every day I feel so grateful for it.”

Meanwhile, as for the Global Enrichment Foundation, which was founded

by Lindhout, it continues to thrive.

Since it was founded, the GEF has helped to fund primary education, provide university scholarships, run a literacy school for Somali refugees, provide counseling, education and business opportunities as well as sponsor all-girls teams to cultivate leadership through sport, fund school-based food programs and provide emergency food aid to communities in crisis, among others, all in Somalia. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Council debates encroachment agreement

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Lacombe County council is considering an encroachment agreement after a resident asked to purchase an unused road allowance adjacent to his property.

Jerry Bauer has requested council close an unused portion of Township Road 41-2 and allow him to purchase the land rather than move structures, one being the mobile home where Bauer resides and an industrial shop which would need to be destroyed, moved and rebuilt.

In May of 1995, Bauer received permission to build a shed and place a mobile home on his property south of the road allowance. In July of the same year, he received permission to lease the unused road allowance with the lease expiring in 1998.

Bauer also attempted to purchase the unused road allowance, but his request was denied in May of 1996.

When the lease expired, council had adopted a policy where they no longer leased such road allowances within the County.

Technically, Bauer has been squatting on the road allowance property since, said County Commissioner Terry Hager. He added in Bauer’s 1996 application to purchase the land, he included a map that showed his mobile home outside of his property limits and encroaching on the undevel-

oped road allowance.

“It would appear that Mr. Bauer was aware of the property boundaries and placed the mobile home and the shop on the undeveloped road allowance,” said Hager. “It appears that Mr. Bauer has shown little regard for the land use bylaw.”

When Bauer’s property was assessed this summer, it was noted that a new shop was being constructed which appeared to be encroaching on the unused road allowance to the north and Bauer’s mobile home was almost entirely situated on the road allowance as well.

Bauer was then asked to remove the unauthorized buildings. While he admitted he built onto the unused road admittance, he asked council to find it in their hearts to allow him to continue occupying the land. Bauer said when he began construction of his new shop a few years ago, he ended up purchasing a larger unit than originally planned and needed to move the building north so it could be erected on flat ground. He said at that time, his mobile home had been on the road allowance for 15 years with no issue, so he did not think it would raise any concerns.

Councillor Dana Kreil commented on how unlikely it is the road allowance would ever be used to build a road. She said it would cost too much to build the

Active Living Fair

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express Lacombe’s annual Active Living Fair is set for Sept.

9th at the Lacombe Memorial Centre.

Dani Ducross, executive director of Lacombe Lifelong Learning, said the event has grown each year since it started 34 years ago and this year should have more participants than ever. “This is the biggest we’ve ever done and it keeps getting bigger each year.”

Ducross said the Active Living Fair began as a registration evening for a number of groups. It still is to some degree, but has also grown to become much more.

Some of the groups at the fair provide demos showcasing what they do.

Ducross said that, because so much of the LMC has been filled up with booths this year, there may not be room inside for demos.

The purpose is to promote active living within the community during the fall and winter months.

The Fair is a chance for clubs, volunteer groups and other community organizations to connect with people and recruit members. It’s a chance for people to shop through the volunteer opportunities and see what programs and activities are available during the winter.

Finally, the Active Living Fair promotes what the Lifelong Learning Association exists to promote – learning at all stages of life.

The event will run from 4 – 8 p.m. news@lacombeexpress.com

road straight as there is a large, steep hill in the way.

Hager admitted County administration acknowledges it is unlikely that a road will ever be built on the allowance, but said this

does not give Bauer license to build on the allowance.

He added administration believes Bauer to be responsible for his situation.

“I’m not arguing that point, that we would prob-

ably never build that road,” said Hager. “That in itself doesn’t make someone else entitled to use it.”

Hager said according to policy, there is little reason to consider Bauer’s request

to purchase the land. Hager added his recommendation is Bauer be directed to remove the unauthorized buildings. Council voted in favour to table the issue. news@lacombeexpress.com

The Kraay Family Farm a fixture in Lacombe area

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Lacombe Express The Kraay Family Farm is known far and wide for its corn maze but there is much more to the farm than that.

For 15 years, the Kraay family has been adding and expanding upon their extensive corn maze field to bring in families from all around. The goal is to create hours of family-oriented fun that gives people a place to get outside and enjoy each other’s company.

“The best thing for me is being able to see people play.

That’s really important to us,” said Rachel Kraay, part owner and operator.

“Not only do we see the three-year-olds play, but we see the 23-year-olds play and the 53-year-olds play.

It’s just great to see. People put their phones away, there are no video games and things aren’t plugged in – you get to really interact with your family and friends and that’s what I

like the most.”

The Kraay corn maze is Alberta’s original corn maze. It boasts 15 acres of an expertly crafted design that changes annually, along with more than 40 attractions that range from jumping pillows to mini golf to calf roping and pedal carts.

The site also has a variety of other activities that include a train ride, pig races, a corn blasting cannon, food, a singing interaction show for kids, play houses, jungle gym play centres, parks and giant games such as chess and snakes and ladders.

Kraay works with her husband Reuben, and his parents, Ed and Linda at operating and maintaining the farm, which is currently celebrating its 15th year anniversary. This year brings nostalgic feelings for them as they look back at where the farm started.

“We’re definitely excited.

We started as a corn maze with the slide, and we’ve been adding one to five or

Each year, a new design is planned for the maze.

In 2012, the family broke a world record as they turned

their farm into the world’s largest quick response (QR) code. This year, they chose to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Alberta Prairie Steam Train attraction in Stettler and added the shape of a train into their maze.

“It takes a lot of thinking. We look around at things that we’re interested in, things that people like,

and we create a picture in our minds. That’s where it starts. Then we start drawing it out and take that and create a maze,” said Rachel.

“We’ve been on the Stettler train before, and really, really loved it. We know lots of people love our train here.

A train looks awesome in a maze, with the shape and everything so that’s why we chose it.”

The maze and farm is open from late July until Oct. 18th, Monday to Saturday.

Rachel offered a few words of advice to families thinking of visiting, saying, “Dress to be on a farm. I think people should expect to be here for longer than they think. We just want to encourage people to come see what we have.” kmendonsa@lacombeexpress.com

OPINION Hit the books and the gym September is here, the weather is getting colder, leaves are changing colour and students are headed back to school.

For those students beginning classes at postsecondary institutions this week, such as the CUC students who began classes yesterday, it might be the first time going to school and living away from home.

As new students being “on your own,” you have probably already heard all kinds of advice about moving out and going to school from just about everyone who knows you.

That’s not to say it isn’t helpful. There are a lot of things to remember and even more to learn when you begin your post-secondary education and begin living on your own.

Some of them are easy to think about. Like how important it is to study hard and get good grades.

Others are less obvious, but no less important. Like how to clean your dorm room and keep it clean or how important it is to work out and keep fit while going to school.

Physical activity is something that is easy to accomplish throughout grade school. There are whole classes dedicated to it.

After high school, unless you are enrolled in a program like kinesiology where such physical education classes are required, it is likely that your education will contain a lot less physical activity.

But physical fitness is still just as important, if not more, in post-secondary as it was in grade school.

We have all heard of the freshman 15, the 15

lbs. that post-secondary students gain in their first year of studies. It’s a common occurrence, caused by young people not used to cooking for themselves, relying too much on convenience food, fast food and lacking physical activity.

But lack of physical fitness can cause more problems for new students than just unwanted weight gain.

In fact, working out regularly can prevent a number of problems that can keep students out of a dangerous downward spiral, especially if they are first-year students.

There is no question that school is stressful.

Studying for exams, handing in assignments on time to avoid late marks and completing

dreaded group assignments is enough to strain anyone’s nerves, not to mention someone who is doing it for the first time.

Physical activity is believed to reduce stress and it has the added benefit of keeping you in shape. Keeping stress at bay can also help avoid feeling homesick and depressed.

Depression is a global concern that is very prevalent on post-secondary campuses. It can lead to all kinds of mental health related problems that can give students way more to worry about than just bad grades.

So, students, when you are hitting the books this school year, be sure to hit the gym to and keep both your body and mind sharp.

Recently I read an article about the growing convenience food market that left me feeling a little bit confused.

The article claimed that convenience foods, the ready to serve or near ready to serve meals you can pick up near the entrance of most supermarkets, have grown in popularity largely to lack of cooking skills within Millennials (those born between 1982 and 2001) or their unwillingness to spend time in the kitchen preparing meals.

I was confused for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that I am a Millennial who loves food, enjoys cooking and doesn’t understand people who can’t cook.

Of course, no one enjoys slaving over a hot stove or oven, particularly while trying to ignore a rumbling stomach after working all day and I am no exception.

I have been known to pick up the occasional (and perhaps the more than occasional) convenience meal after a long day rather than making it longer by cooking the meal myself.

BRIAN

VOSSEN However, when I have the time, I really do enjoy cooking my own meals. Cooking for yourself allows you to have complete control over what you put in the food. It also gives you a feeling of accomplishment having created something.

When you cook your own food, it gives you the ability to try new things, new meals and recipes.

For example, this weekend when my brother visited me, we both had a good time making a new Asian dish.

I know I’m not alone in being a Millennial who is a fan of cooking.

I have more than a few friends who frequently post recipes and meal ideas on my facebook and Twitter feeds. Furthermore, I know that researching, trying and sharing new meals and recipes is also a growing trend among Millennials.

So if so many Millennials enjoy cooking, how are we the cause of a rising convenience food market?

Well, there are also a lot of people my age out there who don’t know how to cook. With my brother starting his third year of university this week, we also spent a good time talking about past roommates we had had and what skills they lacked to survive on their own.

I once lived with a roommate who couldn’t cook anything that didn’t have the directions on the box. My brother told me how he had a roommate who didn’t quite understand how measurements work.

These people confuse me, because I made sure to learn how to read a recipe book, make measurements and cook before I moved away from home.

I had heard enough horror stories about my uncle spending an entire semester eating nothing but hot dogs and Kraft Dinner and didn’t want that to happen to me.

I don’t know how many people from my generation enjoy cooking

and know how to cook versus how many people would rather pick up a convenient meal on their way out of a supermarket, so I guess it is true that Millennials can at least be partially responsible for the rise of convenience foods. But, that doesn’t mean we have to continue to be.

Cooking is a life skill that everyone should have, especially young people. It gives us the opportunity to exercise creativity and control in the kitchen.

Sure, you can buy lots of different convenience foods at the supermarket too, but they won’t give you the same worthwhile feeling of having created something yourself or trying something new. They generally cost more and are less healthy for you too.

So, fellow Millennials, I challenge you, ditch the box, and take a page out of your grandmother’s book (or better yet, call her up and ask to borrow her cookbook) and start making things for yourself.

You will thank yourself for it later. news@lacombeexpress.com

Lacombe a host community for exchange program

BY BRIAN VOSSEN Lacombe Express World Youth Canada is coming to Lacombe as part of an exchange with Palca, Peru. This month, a group of young people from Canada and Peru will come to Lacombe to live and work in the community as part of a World Youth Exchange.

Each year, offices across the country choose host communities for the exchange programs they have.

Lacombe has been a successful host community in the past and so has been chosen once again this year. “It’s a cool thing to have it come to your community,” said Jody Hamilton, a volunteer who has worked with World Youth in the past.

Hamilton has volunteered to help ShirleyAnne Soloway-Seely find host families and work placements for the youths in the exchange. Soloway-Seely said time is running out to have everything organized

as the exchange begins in less than two weeks.

The exchange group is working and living in Palca, Peru. They will be arriving in Lacombe on Sept. 16th and will be living and doing volunteer work until Dec. 1st.

For the exchange to be a success, host homes and families need to be found for the visiting youths. Soloway-Seely said they are looking for people who are willing to open their homes and be a part of the experience for the duration of the group’s stay. The last time an exchange happened in Lacombe was in 2006.

Soloway-Seely said she hosted a pair of youths for that exchange and enjoyed the experience. In fact, she is still in contact with the individuals who were placed with her as part of that exchange. She said she considers them part of her family.

She added it also brings the host community closer together as well, as she got a chance to meet other host families in the

community and get to know them better.

Host families are paid a stipend to compensate for feeding the extra two mouths and get to be part of a great cultural exchange, she said.

Soloway-Seely said the ages of individuals involved can change between years and exchanges, but are usually in their late teens and early tweens. She added this year’s group is between the ages of 17 and 24.

There are nine pairs, 18 youths in total who are part of the exchange. Each pair has one Peruvian and one Canadian exchange member.

These pairs will be the same ones currently placed together in Peru.

Soloway-Seely is also looking for work placements for the youths. During their time in Lacombe, the youths will offer four and half days worth of volunteer work each week for 10 weeks.

“It’s a huge injection of volunteerism

into the community,” said Hamilton.

She said this year, the program has a focus on healthy living and healthy eating, so organizations, particularly volunteer organizations, related to such industries would fit well.

Organizations like Lacombe Action Group, Lifelong Learning Association, and FCSS have been work placements in past years when Lacombe has been a host community.

Once a week, all of the youths in the exchange will meet together to present on what they have learned so far as part of their volunteer work. Hamilton said the object behind this is that the youths learn things from working in the host communities that they can apply elsewhere. “It’s an educational program without a doubt.”

Anyone interested can contact ShirleyAnne Soloway-Seely at 403-392-2210 or via email at sseely1@hotmail.ca. news@lacombeexpress.com

Standing in a long line of influential family members My grandfather on my mother’s side was also a minister, first with the Methodist and then the United Church. Victor Knowlton served churches in Saskatchewan mainly, but also in Kitscoty and Lloydminster in Alberta.

He became a minister in reaction to his strict and patriarchal upbringing. My grandfather thought that those who seek to follow Jesus should be less strict and more open, like Jesus was, and thought he could contribute to that. And by all accounts he did.

My grandfather died when my mother was four.

At his funeral, something rare happened. The community gathered, not just the local people and his colleagues in the United Church, but the Anglican rector and the Roman Catholic priest and the Baptist pastor came too, and others as well. And native people came. My grandfather was well respected by them as well. They gathered to hon-

SMILLIE our a man who was respected, admired and loved well beyond what would have been his circle of friends.

I have been struck again by the loss to our family that this unique man died before even my mother had a chance to get to know him. I wish I had known him. But I was also impressed by how he left his mark on our family. His commitment to a less rigid and judgmental, more accepting way of living the faith has been passed on to me and to others.

My grandfather died in 1934, but his life continues to influence me 80 years after his death. In the same way, I trust, my choices, my openness to the leading of the Spirit, will leave their mark long after my death.

many interests was in genealogy. She summarized the results of her research into a book, and she chose as the epigraph for that book a passage from a book by Richard Llewellyn, called How Green Was My Valley: “I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me, those who are to come.

I looked back and saw my father and his father, and all our fathers, and in front, to see my son, and his son

and the sons upon sons beyond. And their eyes were my eyes. As I felt, so they had felt, and were to feel, as then, so now, as tomorrow and forever. Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line that had no beginning, and no end, and the hand of his father grasped my father’s hand, and his hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right hand, and all up and down the line that stretched from

Each of us stand in a long line of history, and are in-

fluenced even by those we never knew. I am grateful for their legacy, but knowing each of them were fallible, finite beings just like me, I believe the best way to honour them is to follow the leading of the Spirit on my spiritual journey.

SPORTS The sport of flyboarding takes off in Central Alberta Local enthusiasts enjoy thrills and spills of relatively new venture

BY JENNA SWAN Lacombe Express A new sport has taken the world by a watery storm in the last few years.

Since its invention in 2011 by French watercraft rider Franky Zapata, flyboarding has since created a following around the world, North America and locally in Sylvan Lake.

Co-owner of Alberta Flyboard Inc. Brody Wells said he will never forget the first time he witnessed the sport while searching YouTube.

“I had just purchased a jet-ski and was looking for new ways to make it a little bit more interesting and unique,” said Wells. “I came across a flyboarding video and thought to myself what better way to go out and use your jet ski.”

Flyboarding works as an extension of your personal watercraft or Jet Ski by using that craft’s propulsion system to drive the flyboard through the air and water.

A flyboard rider will then stand on the board, connected to it by the boots on their feet, allowing them to seemingly fly through the air or dive head first through the water.

Upon seeing the video, Wells contacted a company who allowed him to gain the rights to become the sole distributor and dealer for flyboards in Alberta.

Along with a friend, Wells traveled to Florida to the company’s training facilities where he learned safety practices and techniques associated with the boards.

“In Florida we hopped into some fairly murky water that may have had more than a

few alligators and crocodiles in it,” recalled Wells. “When we got to the water there was a 6 ft. baby crocodile right beside the dock and the guys are saying ‘Oh that’s just a baby,’ and we’re just standing there thinking ‘What better incentive to stay above the water’.”

Soon after trying the sport, NBD Water Sports was created by Wells and his business partner Rodney Biggar, which has since underwent a rebrand to become Alberta Flyboarding in 2013. Wells and Biggar have since started fly boarding locations in Cold Lake, Wabamun Lake, and Jackfish Lake and hope to have two to four more locations throughout Alberta in upcoming seasons.

Since the invention of the flyboard and its increasing popularity, competitions across the world have been popping up, including the Flyboarding World Championships, which were held in Doha, Qatar in both 2012 and 2013. Wells along with a few associates travelled to the games both years where Wells was among the top 10 to compete in 2012.

The crew of Canadians declared themselves the unofficial ‘Team Canada’ of the championships.

Recently the team travelled to the 2014 Fly board North American Championships at the Waterfront Festival in Toronto on June 20th-22nd.

“The North American Championships really just spurred me to continue to push myself and continue training,” said Wells.

“When I saw what skill level some of these riders

HIGH FLYER – Alberta Flyboarding instructor Nikki Wallace soars above Sylvan Lake during a recent practice run.

Jenna Swan/Lacombe Express

are carrying with such an early sport, it really blew me away. There are a lot of people out there running double back flips and all sorts of crazy tricks.”

While Wells explained there have certainly been ups and downs to getting the sport going in Alberta, he said, “Seeing that reaction on people’s faces when they figure it out and the

look of disbelief in their eyes when they get up on the board for the first time makes it all worth it.”

A particular struggle Wells faced in the early days of Alberta Flyboard was finding an insurance company to back such a new sport despite proven safety measures.

“When you call up an insurance company and try

to explain to them what you want to do they kind of gasp – ‘You want to do what? Strap a jetpack to yourself and fly around? I don’t think so’.

“But once we found someone who understood what we were doing, saw how safe it was, saw our extensive safety practices and what we went through to make sure our customers

were safe and comfortable, it was a breeze.”

Alberta Flyboard, then NBD Water Sports, experienced coverage on a national level when CBC-TV personality Rick Mercer visited Sylvan Lake and stated, “It’s one of those things you can’t believe you’re seeing, and it has barely even begun.” jswan@reddeerexpress.com

The ASDC is excited about the revamped AEP season this year. To help accommodate the competitive season, the program has been separated into two seasons.

The fall intake will be from October to February and the winter intake will be from February to May. Each season will include mental skills training, nutrition and one other complementary session.

There will be an overlap of winning edge seminars to accommodate both fall and winter sessions.

These sessions include sport injury, public speaking, media training and time management.

Once again, ASDC will

offer the Train to Win (T2W) which is designed for national/international athletes who require a more advanced sport science program.

T2W will provide oneon-one services for the advanced athlete in conjunction with their coaches.

Eligible athletes and their coaches will be involved in designing the program based on individual needs.

Services may include, sport specific fitness testing and training, VO2 max testing, individual nutrition analysis or sessions, individual mental skills training, Dartfish Biomechanical Analysis, athletic therapy, massage therapy or chiropractic treatment or other services as deemed necessary for you as an athlete to grow in your sport.

Alumni of the Athlete Enhancement Program have gone on to compete in the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Pan-Am Championships, national and provincial championships, X-Games, the WHL, CIA, ACAC and NCAA scholarships.

Local Pee Wee Dodger wins western’s baseball gold medal A member of the Lacombe Pee Wee AA Dodgers Baseball team played a key role in capturing the gold medals for Team Alberta at the Western Canadian Pee Wee Girls Baseball Championship held in Spruce Grove last month.

Zoë Lorenz-Boser, who

resides in Bentley, was one of 12 female baseball players selected to play for Team Alberta at the Western Canadian championship.

All of the girls on Team Alberta were typically the only female on their regular baseball teams that

were affiliated with either Baseball Alberta or Little League Alberta.

Team Alberta held a twoday pre-tournament camp on Aug. 13-14th under head coach Dwayne Lalor from Red Deer to prepare for the Western Canadian Championship.

Team Alberta opened the tournament with an 18-4 mercy-rule victory over Team Manitoba.

Lorenz-Boser was the starting and winning pitcher, tossing three shutout innings, allowing only one base hit, no walks and striking out three batters

on 44 pitches.

Team Alberta completed round-robin play with wins over Saskatchewan (mercy rule) and British Columbia.

In the latter contest, Team Alberta trailed by five runs going into the very last inning.

They sent 11 batters to the plate and scored eight runs to earn the comeback victory.

Lorenz-Boser had three RBI’s on two singles in the final inning, including knocking in the go-ahead runs.

In the championship final against the defending champions from British Columbia, Team Alberta

registered a 10-0 win behind the one-hit pitching of Madison Willan from Edmonton.

Lorenz-Boser played shortstop and batted three for four at the plate, including a sixth-inning walk-off double that brought home the 10th run to end the game by way of the mercy rule.

Gold medals were presented to a well-deserving and undefeated Team Alberta that dominated the tournament in hitting, pitching and defense to emerge as the 2014 Western Canadian Pee Wee Girls baseball champions.

ARTS & LEISURE Saskatoon duo features latest CD on Red Deer stop John Antoniuk and Jen Lane perform at the Velvet Olive next week

BY MARK WEBER Lacombe Express Gifted musicians in their own right, Saskatoon-based John Antoniuk and Jen Lane have teamed up on a new duets CD and are hitting the road to share the brilliant results with fans.

They perform at the Velvet Olive in Red Deer on Sept. 11th.

The couple first met in 2002 and at the time, were both busy solo performers on the Saskatoon music circuit.

It was during their attendance at one of their many showcases that the industry began to buzz with the idea of a full collaboration between the songwriting couple.

These ideas led to the pair spending some time between individual writing sessions to try to create some songs together. The personal dynamic that is present between them comes to life in their writing.

“We played a singer/songwriter showcase together in November of 2002, and that’s the first time we met onstage,” recalls Antoniuk. “Then it was in about March of 2003 that we thought we should get together, jam and sing a little bit together too.”

One of the first tunes they tackled together was Oh My Sweet Carolina by Ryan Adams, and that really started it all between the two. “We realized that we enjoyed singing together, and we sounded good together as well.”

Besides the professional collaborations, a personal connection was flourishing as well.

They started dating shortly thereafter.

“We’ve been together for 11 years now, and married for seven.”

As is clearly heard on the newly-released Jen & John, they indeed compliment one another beautifully as they perform each

other’s music.

Antoniuk comes from the indie/roots side of life and Lane has a bit more country/folk in her repertoire. Together, they create straight ahead rhythms and harmonies that complete the musical package.

Things kick off on a charming, laid-back note with Give It All Away which sets the stage nicely for the personal, plaintive tones of Lost, featuring Lane’s sweet vocals opening the tune and later joined by Antoniuk. Having a Good Time continues to show just how well these artists complement each other as does End of the World.

The project was produced by Lane and Antoniuk and recorded at The Recording House in Saskatoon.

Antoniuk recalls how back in the early days he and Lane made it a priority to be careful about balancing their personal and professional lives – they were (and are) strong, independent musicians who wanted to explore their own individual creativities.

Fortunately, it’s all worked out rather seamlessly.

“It’s helped us grow in a really good direction musically, too.

“We have different writing styles, but it’s also about having two Alpha leaders of bands in a relationship working together. It really forces us to challenge each other. I think I bring a little more of an edge to her music, and she helps to soften a little bit of mine.

“It also helps us not to be so self-involved, whether it’s full on coming up with some lyrics or chord progressions or just being challenged to come back with something stronger.”

For Antoniuk, following the path of a musician didn’t come that early on. He injured his knee playing football in high school so that dream was sidelined. But he soon picked up a guitar and some-

GIFTED DUO – Singers/songwriters John Antoniuk and Jen Lane will be showcasing tunes from their latest project photo submitted Sept. 11th at the Velvet Olive in Red Deer. thing was sparked inside. He also started writing songs soon after that inspired by artists like Dinosaur Jr. “The guitar playing was really exciting to me. I also followed that vein along to Bob Dylan and the guys with more unique voices.

It was the 1990s, so Nirvana and Pearl Jam were also huge influences on the first stage of my career, too.

“I’ve found that a great song can be recorded as a country song, a blues song, a rock song or a folk song. The better the song is, the more genres it tends to be able to mold itself into.”

The songwriting process also changes from song to song – sometimes the melody surfaces first, and other times a lyric begins to take shape. No matter how

it unfolds, Antoniuk relishes the creative aspects of his profession.

Over the years, he and Lane have also performed many times on a national stage showcasing at Breakout West, Canadian Music Week, North by Northeast and Prairie Scene and achieved international recognition at Folk Alliance in Kansas City, Missouri, South by Southwest in Austin, Texas and through SaskMusic’s Export Showcase in Los Angeles.

As mentioned, Antoniuk and Lane have always kept their projects separate, with Antoniuk working on Smokekiller and the recent more rootsy, eponymous Always With You and Lane taking three of four releases to nominations for Album of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards.

Meanwhile, the new album features three new songs written by Antoniuk, two new songs written

by Lane and a couple covers for a treat.

The aforementioned Oh My Sweet Carolina is included as is Crazy Mama by J.J. Cale (1972) which was recently discovered when Antoniuk got Lane a record player for Christmas last year and picked up a few old, used records.

These days, the two couldn’t be happier sharing so much.

“I can put in 24/7 to this job, and it pays me back all the time – just the way it feels in my heart, the life I get to have and that my wife is here with me on tour and we get to do this together. I’m right where I’m supposed to be.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Gospel music festival in Blackfalds this weekend

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Lacombe Express A light-hearted, relaxing weekend of country gospel music is headed to Blackfalds’ All Star Park with a multitude of performers and talent thanks to the efforts of Blackfalds United Church.

The weekend is a fundraiser for the church and is a fun way for people to get together at a good price, organizers say. For $30 for a weekend pass, a visitor can camp, eat and enjoy the music of 18 musical performers and groups. “We have a lot of fun, we’re very light. We try to be entertainers rather than just singers, and most people

find it that way,” said Jim Escott, keyboardist of Visions Country Gospel and a member of the Blackfalds United Church congregation. “I’d really like to focus on the amount of work that the congregation does. The congregation is very small and works hard. It’s one of the major fundraisers for the church.”

Performers include Debbie Bergeron, an ex-Nashville native singer who currently resides in Eckville, Potters’ Clay, a Lacombe group, Visions Country Gospel, Joyful Melody Trio, a southern gospel group and 13 year-old Victoria Street, a performer with talent far beyond her years, said Escott. This is an all-ages,

family event weekend that for $30 (whole weekend pass) $20 a day or $5 for a single performance, would include RV camping for Friday and Saturday night (weekend pass), heated tent performances, a dessert auction, dinners and lunches.

All a person needs to bring is a lawn chair for the shows as all performances are in a heated and covered tent area. The show goes on rain or shine.

“It’s centered around the performers, but we also have a dessert auction on Saturday and Sunday. The ladies from the church run a concession and cook up burgers or chilli or soup. There’s a supper on Saturday night,” said Debbie McCrimmon,

treasurer for Blackfalds United Church.

“A lot of people travel from quite a distance. We’ve had phone calls this year for example from a lady in Kelowna. It’s nice meeting the different people and talking to them. That’s kind of what it’s about too – giving a weekend for people to come and enjoy.”

Gates open at 5 p.m. on Sept. 5 and are open until Sunday afternoon. Tickets are available at the gate. More information can be found at www.blackfaldsunitedchurch. com, or by calling any of the numbers listed in the online brochure on the church’s web site. kmendonsa@lacombeexpress.com

Is it ADHD or a problem with the eye?

“I’ve just seen two images of the same person on the TV screen,” my mother complained years ago. She had developed double vision (DV). But what causes DV? And how many children suffering from attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) are being medicated when the trouble is in their eye?

Dr. Patrick Quaid, an expert in double vision, is head of the Guelph Vision Therapy Centre.

Pet Food

Dr. Gifford

JONES He says double vision must be taken seriously as a diagnosis can range from brain tumour, concussion, inflammation of an artery, to simple dysfunction of

ocular muscles. Fortunately, when adults notice DV, they know something is wrong that demands quick attention.

But Quaid says children with ADHD often get either a delayed diagnosis or no diagnosis of ocular disorder. Doctors treating a child with ADHD rarely consider arranging for an eye examination to detect ocular malfunction.

The most commonly encountered abnormality is

‘convergence insufficiency’, or difficulty keeping the eyes tuned when reading. These children have eyes that do not work in unison due to an imbalance of muscle control. Consequently, they see double when reading, frequently lose their place, find reading frustrating and shy away from it, which affects their learning.

Quaid states ironically parents of children with convergence insufficiency may be told their child has 20/20 vision by a regular eye test.

Convergence insufficiency is not rare.

Quaid claims one in 10 people has some sort of eye teaming problem. But what is shocking, and generally unknown, is children affected with ADHD have three times greater risk of convergence insufficiency.

All the more reason that these children must see an eye doctor who is cognizant of eye teaming abnormali-

ties. Quaid adds doctors who are looking for a quick fix often place ADHD children on Ritalin, or some other medication, without arranging for a oculomotor workup.

During an interview, Quaid discussed another pressing problem that concerns many parents, ‘PostTrauma Vision Syndrome’ (PTVS). Today, brain concussions are becoming a fact of life for children and adults involved in sports.

Moreover, bruised brains can result in neurological and ocular abnormalities despite normal results from MRI and CT scans.

Quaid, ahead of the times, has sage advice for those who intend to engage in contact sports.

Be sure to get a baseline test for binocular vision function before engaging in contact sports. This is important as those who already have binocular vision dysfunction, and may not realize it, will likely

suffer even greater eye teaming issues should they suffer a subsequent concussion.

Just how many children in this country are being diagnosed with ADHD when they in fact suffer from subtle forms of double vision is unknown.

The difficulty for parents is that children will usually not complain of problems with eye teaming as they may not be aware of what to report.

This may result in misdiagnosis. Fortunately, the Guelph Vision Therapy Centre is one of the few places that offers a comprehensive approach to ADHD and eye teaming problems.

This involves close interaction between eye doctors with experience in binocular vision disorders, psychologists, speech and language pathologists and occupational therapists.

Bringing the colour and warmth of the beach inside I don’t think I’ve met one person who doesn’t want to live at the beach.

The air with its heavy moisture and pungent aroma combined with the sound of the pounding surf is one of the most relaxing combinations I can think of.

Most things seaside are washed and faded from sun and surf and the light in beach areas is as bright as it can be soothing.

The influx of ‘beach’ themed materials has made these washed, soothing colours and textures in everything from flooring to fabric. Some people are breaking away from the cold and intense colour palette of modern interiors to favour a more relaxed and organic colour scheme.

Furniture manufacturers are offering more distressed, brushed looking fabrics for you to build that perfectly cozy retreat.

Bedding is getting back to basics with quilted cotton duvet covers making a huge comeback. White is an influential colour choice for many interiors and is being com-

MECKLER bined with weathered wood for a beach inspired cottage look.

And now you are thinking, I live in Central Alberta and not on the water but I adore the coastal feel in my home...what do I do?

My first piece of advice would be run, move, winter is coming!

But I’m supposed to keep to giving design advice not travel and relocation services!

The coastal design feel is all about your desired locale, are you east or west? Go west and you are met by an abundance of warm colours and natural earth products while on the sunrise side you will encoun-

ter the blanched, weathered timbers and fabrics.

The coastal vibe is one of clean lines and bright (meaning white) fabrics. It is a homey, cottage type feel that comes from wellloved items and heirloom pieces which invite visitors to travel through your memory banks as they remember those well-loved times by the water. It is about warm days and cooler evenings as you collect driftwood and have a restful evening around a crackling fire.

Inspect pieces of your furniture to see if they can be repurposed and given a more weathered appearance.

Often a thin coat of paint or stain and some elbow grease is enough to turn an existing piece of furniture into a statement piece.

Go on the hunt at antique shops for old shutters and window panes that you can add your own personal touch to and don’t forget the sprinkles of colour using blue

and green glass that may have lived nestled in the sand on a sunny coast.

Even if you can’t live by the ocean you can dress your space up to mimic the look and feel of a beach front property.

Before summer winds down have a coastal inspired party with lots of seafood, try for an outdoor party where you boil large pots of lobster, corn and potatoes and serve them in the traditional way by dumping the whole thing onto a picnic table while your bibbed guests dig in with their hands.

Someday some of us will get there, we will retire in that coastal community we have always dreamed of but until that day we can bring those elements of a beautiful seaside retreat into our current homes.

All it takes is a little seafood and some well chosen decorative elements to bring that vibe to the prairies.
