Local man recalls memories of Second World War Rudy Deutsch was part of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express

F

or one local veteran, Remembrance Day is an important day. Yesterday’s recognition of those who served in war should continue to be an important reminder of our freedom, said Rudy Deutsch, a former soldier who served in the Second World War. Deutsch, 91, was part of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps as a stretcher-bearer beginning in 1943.

“Our fundamental foundation was to care for the wounded and sick of our poor, bloody, brave comrades in the infantry who fought one battle after another. They broke 40 lines in Italy and many more in Holland,” he said. “We also took care of the unfortunate civilians and wounded German prisoners.

“I was an ordinary soldier who did not carry a weapon but shared the fear and uncertainty of being killed at any time. The only protection we had was the Red Cross armband and a Geneva Convention card.”

Deutsch said he was 20-years-old when he was drafted into the army.

“I wanted no part of it, but I got drafted. I was going to Notre Dame College at the time. Most of the college boys at the time were joining the air force and I wanted to join the air force too in the summer of 1943. They wouldn’t take me because I had a ruptured appendix and my health wasn’t that good, so they turned me down,” he said. “I was called into the army in the summer of 1943.”

In January 1944 Deutsch trained in Camrose.

“I chose the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps for two reasons – I had severe adhesion pains from my ruptured appendix and I didn’t want to shoot my cousins.”

Deutsch served in the Second World War in Italy and in Africa.

“When we went overseas we first arrived in Africa. There was already fighting going on in Italy and the wounded were coming by ship to North Africa to the 67th General Hospital. We carried the soldiers from the ships to the hospital. I got malaria while we were over there and I ended up in the hospital for three weeks,” he said.

After recovering in hospital, Deutsch then headed to Italy.

“Ortona was one of the worst bat-

tles we were in. That is where I was hurt as well. The second day I was taking care of a wounded soldier and I dragged him into a building and was putting field dressings on him. A shell hit the building and it blew half the building away. The wounded soldier that I was dressing and myself were blown right out of the building onto the street. That is where my nose was broken and my back was hurt,” he said. “I saved the guy though. I got him over to the clearing station where the doctor was there and we treated him and saved his life.”

After leaving Italy, Deutsch traveled to Holland as part of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps.

“In Holland, our first action was liberating a little town. I had lots of rough experiences there right off the bat. We were trying to get the wounded back across the river because the bridge was blown out,” he said. “I found a little boat and I got a wounded soldier on there. We get halfway across and they knew we were crossing so they were shelling us. The boat was hit and was upset and I was trying to get this guy back up on shore again.”

Deutsch was able to save the lives of many but he said it was hard knowing his fellow soldiers were always in danger.

“I grieved when I saw these poor, bloody, infantry soldiers go into the front lines and I knew within an hour or two that they would be wounded or dead. It was so hard.”

Meanwhile, Deutsch said to this day he still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and from time to time has nightmares about his time in the war.

“After I came back from the war I became a workaholic and that is how I coped with what I had seen in the war,” he said. “Right now I don’t sleep. I wake up and I have night dreams.”

For Deutsch, Remembrance Day is a day of honour.

“Remembrance Day means remembering our comrades that we left behind,” he said. “It all comes back to the hell we went through. I honour the infantry because they are the boys that went into action, battle after battle.

“It’s important for our kids today to know all of the hardships we went through for their freedom.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

night’s Rebels game, hockey fans are encouraged to throw socks onto the ice, which are then collected by United Way volunteers.

Thanks to the support of community members, volunteers and sponsors, United Way is able to donate hundreds of socks to local charities including The Outreach Centre, Safe Harbour Society, Central Alberta AIDS Network, Canadian Mental Health Association and the John Howard Society.

Sockey Night in Red Deer is also a great opportunity to create awareness and fundraise, officials say.

“Sockey Night in Red Deer is another opportunity for us to follow through on this year’s campaign message ‘Get Off The Bench and Bring The Change’. Winter is around the corner and this event is about helping the people in our communities who can’t escape the elements. I think United Way supporters have a vested interest to help people move out of poverty. The socks gathered, the awareness and the money raised at this event will help our community in more ways than one. With the support United Way has received this year, the campaign as a whole is shaping up to be a great success,” said Dustin Sundby, 2014 volunteer campaign cochair.

Redcore Ltd. is a Sockey Night sponsor for the second year in a row.

“When a community comes together we can achieve great things. We support United Way because we also believe in changing social conditions so that individuals and families can enjoy a better life. We are proud to sponsor this specific event because we know that our donation will be a direct investment in the health of our Central Alberta community,” said Shaun Richer, business development and marketing coordinator for Redcore Ltd. United Way’s Sockey Night in Red Deer comes just after the halfway point in the annual United Way campaign. Over the last two months, volunteers and staff have visited hundreds of employees across Central Alberta to show the impact that United Way has in their community. Speaking engagements included dinner meetings, early morning safety meetings and everything in-between. The presentations are another way United Way engages supporters and community members, and encourages them to ‘Get Off The Bench and Bring The Change’.

Trust funds set up for missing City man

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Trust funds have been set up to help those currently searching for a missing Red Deer man in northern British Columbia.

Dustin Steele, 23, was in a truck that was swept down the Skeena River, said his cousin Bryon Miller of Red Deer. Steele went missing on Nov. 1st.

Two others that were with him eventually made it to shore, but Steele is still missing.

The truck was pulled from the river on Nov. 4th. not far from where it went into the river on the Copper River flats area east of Terrace.

Miller said to help DUSTIN those involved with the search, two trust funds have been set up to cover costs such as lost wages and other expenses that come up as the situation unfolds. The funds are set up at ATB and Toronto Dominion Bank branches across Alberta and B.C., he said.

“They’re going to try and search more, but I don’t know how much longer they will be looking,” said Miller, describing the

Skeena River as cold and fast moving. Apparently the truck the men were in became stuck and the strength of the river’s current pulled it in.

Const. Angela Rabut said on Monday that the search had been called off at that point due mainly to weather. “The river is really, really high with the amount of rainfall we’ve had in this area,” she said, adding that it’s unfortunately fairly common for people to go missing in the Skeena River. “This has definitely happened before.

“The exact reasons for why they were down there I can’t say, but people quite often will go down there just to hang out.” She again emphasized the power STEELE of the river, pointing out it’s not very far from the ocean as the crow flies.

“All of the other rivers dump into the Skeena, and it’s a main branch.

“And at this time of year, it’s extremely high. We’ve had a huge amount of rainfall and it can be quite unpredictable with how strong the current is.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

Read-a-thon aims to get kids excited for books

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express Father Henri Voisin Elementary School is encouraging literacy among its students through a fun read-a-thon fundraiser this month.

The activity is a way to encourage par-

ents and students to be reading and to motivate kids to be excited about their skill.

The kids earn pledges for the number of minutes they spend reading alone or with family members.

“Father Henri Voisin really has a big focus on literacy. The idea behind the read-athon is a culmination of that bigger goal of

improving literacy and is a really fun way to get kids reading simply for the love of reading,” said Principal Denise Kofin.

“The big thing is to try and improve literacy in students – that’s our overarching goal. We want the kids reading more books and getting excited about reading. The second reason for this activity is to generate some funds for our school.”

To begin the read-a-thon, the school held a large party earlier this month with activities including having teachers reading to students, dancing, singing and having a talk about how wonderful books can be and how they can take students to another world, said Kofin.

On Nov. 21st, parents are invited to the school for an ‘action-packed literacy afternoon’. A guest author will read to the kids, talk to them about writing books and give details about the industry. There will also be members of Red Deer Catholic Schools who will bring their favourite books to students and read them aloud.

“It’s going to be really fun. We’re going to set up tents all around the gym so that students and parents can cozy together and read a book. We’re inviting everyone to wear their pyjamas and just sit together and enjoy reading.”

Take a closer look!

Literacy is an important pillar of education at Father Henri Voisin. The school has a huge focus on the subject and Kofin hopes that the read-a-thon will be a way to get students attracted to reading, simply for the fun of it. The event isn’t offering any prizes for pledges because the competition aspect of the program is only meant to get students to read.

Parents are encouraged to use this event as a way to get their children into reading.

With parents there, kids can feel comfortable and confident, and can seek the help that they require to become better readers, said Kofin. The students are recommended to read a little each night.

“We know there’s a high correlation between students’ ability to read and success in high school and life. If we can foster that skill, the likelihood of them being successful adults is very much enhanced,” said Kofin.

“The benefits aren’t all academic – they are social and emotional as well. We know that for people who read, often that’s a release of stress. It makes kids better readers and better able to understand ideas. So we want to give them those skills – not just for the academic focus but all other benefits.” kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

OPINION Marking ‘Movember’ As men around the world have begun to grow their moustaches as ‘Movember’ kicked off earlier this month, it’s a reminder of what a terrific cause this really is both as a fundraiser and an awarenessbuilder.

Local businesses are also getting behind the cause with many encouraging their male staff and clients to help raise money for prostate cancer research as well.

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

People around the world have since taken up the cause, and today Movember is truly an international fundraising success. According to the web site Movember and Sons, the campaign is also serving as an effective ‘awareness-building’ tool.

Here in Red Deer, the Movember Gala will wrap up the month on Nov. 29th at Fionn MacCool’s. To make reservations, call 403-352-0023.

According to the Movember web site, prostate cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in Canadian men. An estimated 4,000 men will die from prostate cancer in 2014, accounting for 10% of all cancer deaths in men. One in eight men

will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and the risk of being diagnosed increases with age.

Prostate cancer occurs when some of the cells in the prostate reproduce more rapidly than normal, resulting in a tumor.

If left untreated, prostate cancer cells may spread from the prostate and invade distant parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes and bones, producing secondary tumours in a process known as metastasis. One of the most worrying aspects of the disease is that most prostate cancers develop without men experiencing any symptoms in the early stages Meanwhile, for those struggling with the disease, there is a group of men here in Red Deer who are ready to offer support.

The Red Deer Prostate Cancer Support Group has been lending a supportive hand for about 16 years now.

The group, which continues to meet every third Thursday of the month since 1997, is an informal get-together, where men share stories about their experiences with prostate cancer.

The members of the group have a lot of information and even more personal stories to help men and their families gain insight into the different types of treatments and approaches. Anyone interested in more information about the group can contact Bert at 403-343-3808 or Bill at 403342-0694.

Some ways to to fight ‘Fearbola’ in Canada ‘Fearbola’ is the recent term being used to describe widespread public fears of an Ebola outbreak in the United States.

S. Michelle

DRIEDGER ‘Fearbola’ is said to spread easily through conversation or even from simply seeing images and videos about Ebola. While we in Canada might feel immune to Fearbola, sadly, we are not.

The only way to fight Fearbola is to provide responsible communications about how Ebola spreads and when Canadians need to worry. But that isn’t so easily done in a communications environment that is often only a 140 character tweet away.

Recently frontline health professionals – primarily nurses – were quoted in the media saying that they are not prepared for an Ebola outbreak should one hap-

pen in an urban Canadian hospital. These comments are in direct contrast to those made recently by top level government and public health officials that Canada is ready. So who’s right?

Providing effective communication is critical to ensuring healthcare workers feel informed and safe at work. Nursing union representatives have clearly expressed that nurses do not feel prepared for Ebola in their hospitals. Media stories have documented how personal protective equipment and training for frontline health workers hasn’t been available in all hospital locations across the country.

Having senior public health leadership and elected officials talk in the media about having plans to manage Ebola if, and when, it arrives in Canada is insufficient. Frontline staff need to know the content of those plans and how the plans play out within their local environments.

In most cases, this short-lived ‘controversy’ was resolved within a very short period of time be-

#121, 5301 - 43 St Red Deer, AB T4N 1C8 www.reddeerexpress.com

Phone: 403-346-3356 Fax: 403-347-6620

cause the two parties did something novel: they sat down and talked. Emergency drills have also taken place at some hospitals across the country, making many frontline staff and public health officials more comfortable with Canada’s capacity to respond to an Ebola case should the situation arise. This is good news.

It is not unreasonable for frontline staff to be worried about what happens when Ebola arrives in Canada. They are the very ones, after all, who will be providing care to patients who test positive for the virus. If you look at who is getting sick in Sierra Leone, or in Dallas for that matter, it is frontline health staff and the friends and family members who provide care to their loved ones before they arrive at a health centre or hospital for treatment.

Why? It’s because Ebola is not highly contagious until later in the course of the illness when contact with bodily fluids may occur – most commonly a concern for care givers. This helps us understand why people in close

prolonged contact with Ebola patients may become infected.

Ebola isn’t like the flu where you are contagious before you have physical signs of actually being sick. Ebola is highly infectious only when an Ebola patient has physical symptoms, expressed primarily through blood, vomit and feces. It is then that anyone who comes in close contact is at greatest risk of catching the Ebola virus.

So – at least within Canada – we should not fear the average stranger who may or may not have a fever.

But we should take reasonable precautions and ask the right questions when caring for people who have nonspecific symptoms characteristic of Ebola. Those questions primarily begin with asking if that sick person has travelled to an Ebola region within the last 21 days. So don’t be surprised if you are asked this question when you seek healthcare.

If you are sick and you know that you have undertaken such recent travel then it is in your best

The Red Deer Express is a proud newspaper of

Publisher | Tracey Scheveers

interest to seek early treatment and let your healthcare providers know right away about your travel so they can both protect themselves and others, and provide you with the best treatment available as soon as possible.

A few weeks ago there was little discussion of Ebola in a Canadian context in the media. Now there is increasingly more frequent discussion. This is good. We need to hear from the people responsible to protect Canadians not only that they have a plan in place, but what the plan entails in broad terms. And it would be especially good if front line staff could hear the plan first, and in greater detail. Let’s fight Fearbola before it strikes.

Prairie Tales Film Fest showcases filmmakers’ diversity

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express A collection of independent short films produced by Alberta artists will be displayed this month as part of the 16th Prairie Tales Film Festival.

Prairie Tales is a traveling exhibition that is produced

by Metro Cinema Society out of Edmonton and the Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society (AMAAS), which is based in Calgary. Red Deer College Motion Picture Arts Instructor James Wilson has brought the festival to the City.

The films will be presented at the Welikoklad Event Centre (WEC), formerly known as City Centre Stage. The event is free to attend and will take place on Nov. 14th and 15th from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on both days.

“It’s a really good cross-section of what kinds of short films are being made in Alberta in the last year or so.

There are some music videos in there, some documentaries in there – it’s a real hodge-podge of stuff. The philosophy is that there is something for everyone,” said Wilson.

“It’s open to the public and it’s free. We wanted to make it as accessible to everyone as we could. Donations are welcome, but it’s free to attend. We actually have RDC alumni Trevor Anderson, who has a film in the festival, speaking but only on Friday night.”

According to the AMAAS web site, works presented can be of any theme, and may take place in any locale and shot in any language. Usually, the artists are from Alberta, even if they have relocated here from another country or province.

The web site also says that in any given year, the program features all genres and films made from conventional, hand-made, computer-generated or stop motion production techniques.

“I think people should be open to new types of films,”

Festival and the Berlin Film Festival.”

Wilson said that now that the College has the available cinema space downtown, he and his peers are hoping to make the film festival an annual occurrence in Red Deer.

“Over the 13 years that we’ve been running the Motion Picture Arts program at the College, we have run Prairie Tales off and on.

“It’s been difficult some years, where we didn’t have the time or space to accommodate. Now that we have the cinema downtown, we have the ability to program more events and host them down there,” he said.

Wilson added that this solution works much better than hosting the event in an empty foyer or classroom at the College and that now RDC can plan for more events like this. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

“Eliminates Neuropathy Foot Pain, Numbness, Tingling and Burning for Good!”

Dear Friend and Fellow Neuropathy Sufferer: our family and friends don’t understand what you are going through. Even most doctors don’t understand. It’s not their fault. They don’t understand because they don’t suffer like you do. You feel miserable.

Your feet and legs hurt…sharp, electrical, jolting pain when you walk, sit or… lie in bed. They’re numb. Like you are walking on cardboard or bubble pack.

And tingling – like a pin cushion or like ants nibbling on your toes. They ache and swell…even burn. Your toes feel like they are on fire, yet, when you touch them, they’re ice cold.

Maybe you are one of them. I want you to know: “There is hope! Relief!”

The nerve damage won’t let YOU sleep, so you resort to dangerous drugs to knock yourself out for the night. You want to travel. See the world. Enjoy your garden and take your dog for a walk. You can’t because your feet and legs hurt too much. You’ve worked hard - for decades!

You’ve looked forward to retirement – to do the things you enjoy. Travel. Now this!

“Amazing New Medical Breakthrough Replaces Desperation and Misery with Hope and Relief for People Suffering with Neuropathy!”

You feel confined. Limited. You can’t even enjoy a trip to the mall.

Shopping is a burden. Your balance is poor. YOU are afraid of falling, especially when you are on uneven ground or using the stairs. You start using a cane for security. Eventually a cane is not enough and you need a walker.

Finally a walker won’t do it and you are in a wheelchair. You are miserable.

Desperate. Without hope. Your doctor is desperate to help you too. And…you’ve tried more drugs. Gabapentin. Lyrica.

Nothing has helped. If all this isn’t bad enough, the nerve damage spreads to your hands and arms.

The most common causes of neuropathy are: diabetes, chemotherapy for cancer treatment, kidney failure and dialysis, drugs to prevent organ rejection, alcohol or drug abuse, bad arthritis in your lower back and AIDS/HIV.

said Wilson.

“This isn’t going to be a Transformers or Ninja Turtles type blockbuster movie –it’s going to be a little bit more diverse, and will broaden what people can see. It certainly helps support the show industry in Alberta for independent filmmakers.”

Anderson will be attending the event where one of his productions will be screened, a music video shot for his band The Wet Secrets. Actor and comedian Joe Flaherty, most famous for his work on SCTV, appears in Anderson’s video as his character Count Floyd.

“Flaherty is reprising his character as Count Floyd for this music video. For anyone who remembers that character, this event will be a real treat for them,” said Wilson.

“Anderson has gone on to have some real success since leaving RDC. He has had films in both the Sundance Film

“Don’t Let the Miserable Foot Pain, Numbness, Tingling and Burning of Neuropathy Ruin Your Life!”

Neuropathy can progress to extreme levels. It can ruin your life! I can still remember the day, like it was yesterday.

Bob, a patient of mine, looked up at me and cried: “Dr. Waddell, what did I do to deserve this?” My eyes welled up.

I strained to hold the tears back. I also remember Mel. The day before I met him, a surgeon had to cut off one of his toes. An anesthetic wasn’t necessary. Mel didn’t feel a thing. Can you imagine? It’s as if he had leprosy!

“When Doctors Suffer with Neuropathy – This is What They do!”

Why do I understand what you are going through? How do I know your suffering?

I know because I suffer with neuropathy nerve damage too. You see, I had a kidney transplant seven years ago and now take a palm full of anti-rejection drugs every day. These drugs are slowly killing my nerves.

I am now FREE from pain, numbness, tingling and burning in my feet and hands and am able to sleep, go for a drive, walk, work, golf, putter in the garden and even ride my motorcycle.

Someday, when I have grandkids, I’ll be able to get down on the floor and play with them.

Meister lands jails time as part of conditional sentence

BY ERIN FAWCETT Red Deer Express

60 days in jail in which the time can be served on weekends, eight months of house arrest, eight months with a curfew from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. and eight months with conditions – the sentence imposed was a joint submission made by the crown prosecutor and defense lawyer.

The hunting incident in which the charges stem from took place on Nov. 29th, 2009.

An Agreed Statement

Herbert Meister, who was charged in relation to the death of his hunting partner in 2009, has been given a nearly two-year conditional sentence.

Meister, 62, pleaded guilty to unauthorized possession of a firearm and criminal negligence causing death in Red Deer provincial court last week.

He was sentenced to

of Facts, which was read into the record during last Thursday’s court proceedings, gave details of events leading up to the death of the victim, who cannot be named due to a publication ban.

It stated the victim, Meister and two others were hunting on a property near Bentley which was owned by one of the men in the group.

At the time, the victim was wearing a blue and

white mesh ball cap, blue jeans and a brown camouflage jacket. The victim’s role during the hunting expedition was to ‘push bush’ which means to move wildlife out of a wooded area, the statement indicated.

At 4 p.m. on Nov. 29th, 2009, court heard that Meister discharged his rifle.

Meister shot twice thinking he missed what he thought was a deer the first time.

The second bullet went into the abdomen of the victim

who was reportedly 300m away.

The Agreed Statement of Facts stated Meister yelled, “I shot a guy!”

The hunters rushed to the victim’s side and 9-1-1 was called. Meister performed CPR on the victim but he was pronounced dead at the scene when EMS crews arrived.

Defense lawyer Balfour Der said Meister was not expecting the victim to be in that particular area

when he discharged his gun.

“He wasn’t supposed to be there and the clothing worn by the deceased was a camouflage jacket,” he said.

Judge John Holmes said because the hunters were not wearing bright colours in order to be more visible to one another, Meister should have taken even more care.

Two victim impact statements were also read during sentencing submissions. One was from the victim’s wife and the second was from the victim’s sister-in-law.

“Mr. Meister has deprived (my husband) of living his dream – the best part of it,” said the victim’s wife of 34 years. “No one can ever hear him tell a story or a joke. He won’t be able to walk or ride with me and enjoy our land.”

However, she added at the end of her statement that she forgives Meister for what happened.

The victim’s sister-inlaw said there is still much pain in the family because of their loss.

“It’s painful to talk about him in the past tense,” she said. “He is very missed.

His death has left an enormous void. Mr. Meister, we hope you take full responsibility for your actions – you can’t change the past or our pain and suffering, but you have a chance to do some good things going forward.”

Meister also spoke briefly during last Thursday’s court proceedings saying he was, “Very sorry.”

“I took a husband, a father, a grandfather and a great member of the community,” he said. “If there was anyway to take it back – I would do anything to change it. He was a good man.”

Meanwhile, Holmes called the incident a tragedy.

“The accused ignored the cardinal rule of gun safety – having a clear view before you shoot. It was gross stupidity on his part resulting in the death of his hunting partner,” he said, adding he used to hunt game when he was younger. “You are always taught to know what you are shooting at before pulling the trigger.”

Also imposed on Meister as part of his sentence was a lifetime weapons ban and a DNA order. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Annual Agri-Trade wraps up for another year

BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express The annual farming and agriculture exhibition, Agri-Trade took place at Westerner Park this past weekend.

Agri-Trade Event Manager, Dianne Smirl said the event attendance for the year was down 10% from last year, which she explains was likely due to the weekend’s nice weather.

“We are kind of in a weird zone where really bad weather isn’t good for attendance but neither is really great weather because it gives farmers that extra time to work on the land,” said Smirl.

“We had traffic really spaced out over the four days with Saturday’s attendance being quite high compared to last year and exhibitors all told us they were very happy with this year’s show because people were buying - and buying lots.”

Smirl stated they had between 385-425 exhibitors each day during the 2014 show, adding that this year’s attendee survey results, filled out by consumers who attended the show, showed event staff that the show is in a generational transition phase.

“The attendee surveys have shown that there is definitely a younger demographic attending the show and this year’s AgriTrade looked like stroller central with lots

of young farm families which we love to see and next year’s event will be focused more on these younger generations.

“Attendees have the power to change this show faster than I can by filling out our attendance survey and this year’s survey also showed us that a lot of people are coming to the show with the intention to buy and not just browse, as well as that people wanted us to be open longer in the evenings - so we will definitely try to integrate that into next year’s show.”

Event staff have seen anywhere from $40-60 million of economic impact on Central Alberta and Red Deer in particular over the years during the Agri-Trade

weekend. “So that means $40-60 million in purchases at the show, hotel rooms stayed in, fuel bought to get to the show, meals eaten out, and anything else they may have done during their stay in Red Deer.”

The last economic impact report was done over four years ago but with Westerner Park receiving a new executive director in the coming months, Smirl stated they hope to complete another report in the next two to three years.

“If you look at some of the deals that are made at the show they can range in the millions and that’s why Agri-Trade is so important to our local economy.” jswan@reddeerexpress.com

Father Henri Voisin’s early work in Central Alberta On Oct. 28th, 2014, the new Father Henri Voisin School in Clearview North in Red Deer was officially opened and blessed.

Michael

DAWE The man after whom the school is named was the priest who founded the first Roman Catholic parish in Red Deer and was also the person who was most responsible for starting the formal Roman Catholic education system in the community.

Henri Voisin was born in LeHarve France in June 1875. He was educated by the Fathers of Ste. Marie of Tinchebray. After getting his B.A. and M.A. degrees, and spending one year of service in the military, he decided to become a member of the Tinchebray congregation.

In the early 1900s, a secular government began to seriously restrict the activities of religious congregations in France.

The Tinchebray fathers de-

cided to start new missions in western Canada. In 1904, Father Voisin was made the head of those missions and arrived in the Alberta to begin this work.

Initially, he chose Innisfail as his headquarters.

From there, he criss-crossed Central Alberta, covering the Red Deer, Trochu, Eckville and Castor districts. Much of the travel was by horseback, or by foot, often under very arduous conditions.

On one occasion, Father Voisin was caught in the middle of a terrible prairie fire.

He managed to escape by reaching a nearby creek. On another occasion, he had a very bad runaway with his horse. He lay unconscious on the prairie for a considerable length of time and was severely bruised.

In 1905, Father Voisin decided to have a small church constructed in Red Deer on Alexander (48th) St. and Gaetz Ave. A shortage of funds meant that much of the interior was left unfinished.

Also, because his helpers were nervous about working on the building’s steep roof, Father

Voisin had to do much of shingling himself.

On June 10, 1906, Bishop Legal formally blessed the new little church that was named ‘Sacred Heart’.

Although the local Catholic community was still small, more than 90 people turned out for the dedication ceremony.

In 1907, Father Voisin and the Tinchebray fathers decided that since Red Deer was now growing rapidly, it would be the preferred location for the mission centre.

Land was purchased on the brow of the North Hill.

Father Voisin went back to France to raise funds and to persuade a congregation of nuns, the Filles de la Sagesse (Daughters of Wisdom), to build a convent and boarding school on the new mission hill.

The convent and a presbytery for the priests were completed in 1908.

The following year, a decision was made to construct a new church nearby. Due to shortages of funds, it was a ‘basement’ church, with a peaked roof overtop. It was hoped that an above ground sanctuary could be con-

structed later.

This new church was named Our Lady of Sorrows, and continued to be used until 1924.

Father Voisin continued his very active missionary work.

He assigned and assisted priests from his congregation in the Castor, Stettler, Carstairs, Trochu, Olds, Three Hills, Delburne, Rocky Mountain House, Nordegg and Sylvan Lake areas. He helped start a school for young boys, St. Mary’s Apostolic College, as part of the mission complex in North Red Deer.

One of the hopes was that at least some of the students would later commence training for the priesthood.

Father Voisin also became active in the community. Being very fond of music, he became an active member of the Red Deer Community Band.

He started what was probably Red Deer’s first clothing bank.

During the First World War, he was an active member of the Patriotic Fund that provided assistance to the families of men serving overseas.

In the early 1920s, Father Voisin got into a serious disagree-

Helping Hands Harvest Gala this weekend

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express The Central Alberta Victim & Witness Support will be hosting an entertainment filled gala this week-

end to raise money for their programs.

The Helping Hands Harvest Gala will consist of a live and silent auction, a dinner, photo opportunities and entertainment to raise

money for victim support services. The gala takes place Nov. 15th. Tickets can be purchased on the Victim Support web site or by calling Amy Deneer at Volunteer Central at 403-505-6222.

Proudly supporting Prostate Cancer Awareness in Red Deer & Central Alberta

Mary Anne Jablonski

“We have various items in the auction including hockey jerseys, artwork and some jewellery from local sponsors,” said Deneer.

“Our entertainment is a live performance by NHL alumni Kraig ‘9 House’ Neinhuis. He’s a solo act and is a very good entertainer.

We also have some RCMP officers who will be in ceremonial dress with whom complimentary photos can be taken.”

All of the proceeds go straight to Victim & Witness Support programs such as court services, counselling programs, support for victims of sexual abuse, dealing with deaths of loved ones and support for witnesses and victims of crimes.

“There isn’t a specific program they’re fundraising for right now – the money is being used to keep the program running for victims. We offer counselling services and court services – helping with applications and things. They do a lot of legwork and paperwork for these unfortunate people.

“We also have some door prizes and little extras for the evening. We’re going to have a contest on the web site where if you make a donation to the society, either online or in person, you are entered to win two tickets to the gala.”

Donations can be dropped off at the Blackfalds RCMP detachment.

Deneer said that donations are welcome because

Central Alberta Victim & Witness Support are a nonprofit group and require this money to exist.

“The society is a completely non-profit organization so they rely on the funds donated and the support of the community just to keep it going. That’s my biggest reason for coming on board and helping this – we have to keep societies like this open because without them, the victims wouldn’t get the help they need to get back on their feet,” she said.

“People don’t think about needing this until it’s the day they become a victim and then that’s when you go looking for organizations like this.” kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Central Music Festival Society presents ‘Mardi Gras’ fundraiser

BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express Central Alberta is set to have a taste and sound of Cajun culture on Nov. 15th at the Elk’s Lodge as the Central Music Festival Society hosts the Mardi Gras Gala.

The Gala is part of a string of fundraising events aiming to bring back the Festival, which was cancelled last year due to financial strains.

The evening features dishes including French quarter Cajun toast with smoked oysters, spicy grilled vegetables, Louisiana candied sweet potatoes and greens, shrimp or crawdaddy etouffe (depending on availability of crawfish), and pecan praline beignets stuffed with peaches in buttered maple bourbon sauce among other treats. It’s no wonder Mardi Gras is French for ‘Fat Tuesday’ as the celebration is the last hurrah before Lent associated fasting begins.

Mike Bradford, Central Music Festival producer, explained the history of Mardi Gras and the Cajun culture dates back to a time

when a group of French Canadians were kicked out of Canada after they refused to pledge allegiance to the British queen.

On March 2, 1699, French-Canadian explorer Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville arrived at a plot of ground 60 miles south of New Orleans, and named it ‘Pointe du Mardi Gras’ when his men realized it was the eve of the festive holiday on which Lent was to begin.

“After being kicked out of Canada the Acadians relocated to Louisiana and because of that there is a very French influence on the culture in Louisiana that has come to be known as Cajun,” said Bradford.

“There is a huge food and music culture in Louisiana that is very influenced by the French and the Spanish and these influences have led to what’s called Creole style cooking and those in attendance at our gala will experience this firsthand.”

Bradford said entertainment for the evening is sure to have folks kicking their boots in the air on the dance floor, Cajun-inspired tunes of ‘Crystal the Cajun

Cowgirl, the Mississippi mermaid, and her rocking Acadian band’.

“Crystal has ties not only to Acadians but she has done extensive travelling throughout the southern states and Louisiana in particular and that really comes across in her music,” said Bradford. “If you’ve ever been down to Louisiana you know their

“We want to keep building this support within the Red Deer community and we hope citizens will see the Central Music Festival for what it is and ultimately when it starts to attract a sizable crowd it will have an economic benefit to local businesses as well.”

“There will be likely be quite a few changes in how we do things and how the festival will be formatted but our board still has all of these things up in the air. But we seem to be getting things in great shape.

ENTERTAINMENT Theory of a Deadman includes City on current tour West coast-based band will feature tunes from latest CD Savages

BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express Theory of a Deadman is back on the road after the July release of their fifth studio album, Savages with 13 Canadian stops on their international tour, one of which happens to be Red Deer’s own Memorial Centre on Nov. 15th.

Having just finished the European leg of their tour, lead singer Tyler Connolly says he is excited to return to the band’s home country of Canada. They will be kicking off the Canadian leg of their tour in Vancouver near where the band was discovered 12 years ago by Nickelback front man Chad Kroeger.

“The last 12 years feel like they’ve happened in a matter of minutes, it’s the craziest feeling you could ever imagine and it’s hard to explain,” said Connolly.

“Sometimes it feels like you’ve stepped into a time machine because when you get out on the road, months fly by. Your family and friends’ lives just continue without you as you go tour for months at a time.

Then you come home and everyone has kids and is getting married and it’s just been a crazy ride.”

Connolly stated during an interview with the Express that over the last 12 years the band’s sound has changed significantly, and this time around Theory of a Deadman wanted to return to their roots and make an album that steered away from relationships, love and songs about girls.

“We wanted to put out a heavier album this time but it changed a little bit along the way - the last two records we did were rock records – yes - but they just seemed a bit more glossy than we had wanted,” he explained.

“From day one we kind of got away from our sound and we had a lot of success with songs like Bad Girlfriend and Not Meant To Be so it became apparent that the songs people wanted from us were not as heavy.

“So we kept writing those style of songs that people tended to want but going into this album, we just got a bit tired of it I guess and we really focused on trying to write some darker, heavier music.”

Connolly and fellow band members Dave Brenner, Dean Back and Joey Dandeneau teamed up with acclaimed producer How-

CUTTING EDGE – Canadian band Theory of a Deadman to play Red Deer’s Memorial Centre this weekend. ard Benson who is known for his award winning work which places a high emphasis on clean, strong vocals on records.

“Howard and his team are incredible, we keep going back to him to work with because it just clicks,” said Connolly who has worked with Benson on Theory of a Deadman’s last four albums.

“Vocals are his big thing and he tends to focus primarily on the vocals and the lyrics and it makes sense to do it that way and he is really good at what he does.”

Although their newest album Savages is primarily filled with heavy, post-grunge tracks like the title track which features Alice Cooper, there is a high diversity of sound on the album which Connolly said leaves “Something for everyone.”

Connolly said the band has always had what he refers to as a “Southern sound”

utilizing banjos and slide guitars in a majority of their past tracks.

However, their collaboration with Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts on the track Living Life Like a Country Song was the first time the band had gone full ‘country rock’ according to Connolly.

“We just went for it, and our first version of the song was heavier and very Theory of a Deadman sounding. Then we had Joe come out and he threw some country style guitar and vocals into it and we just fell in love with the song,” explained Connolly.

“Diversity is something we’ve always done - our first record sounded mostly the same from front to back but in the last 12 years we’ve started to get into more of a diverse sound.”

Connolly stated that while the last 12 years have truly been a roller coaster, he

is excited for what he hopes to be the next 12-plus years of the band’s future.

“It’s interesting because we don’t know what music will be like in the next 12 years, things are changing and we just hope we can continue to make music,” he said.

“The good news is our band gets along really well and we enjoy touring together and making music together so we just want to keep doing what we’re doing and hopefully the winter stays away while we are in Canada.”

Theory of a Deadman will be playing in Red Deer at the Memorial Centre Nov. 15th with opens bands Head of the Herd and Gloryhound with the show starting at 8 p.m.

Punch Drunk Cabaret hits Billy Bob’s Nov. 13th

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Punch Drunk Cabaret continues to press on and reach new creative heights in spite of big changes over the past while. The band performs at Billy Bob’s on Nov. 13th.

Randy Bailer fronts the band and used to be the driving creative force behind another fascinating indie group called Screwtape Lewis for about a decade.

Meanwhile, their latest CD, their second, The Juke Joint Revival Hour, was released earlier this year. Drawing on elements from ‘rockabilly, outlaw country and steam punk swing’, Punch Drunk Cabaret aren’t the least bit wary of trying their hand at all kinds of stylistic ventures.

Rounding out the band was Robin Eklund on drums and Terry Sawbones Grant on 12-string bass, but Eklund decided to leave this past summer for personal and family reasons.

“He was one of the founding guys. We were really focused on having three distinct personalities that were equal – where everybody was their own individual guy and tried to share the spotlight.

“It was like having three frontmen in a way, because Robin is so outgoing – a

drummer who really performed. He was a big part of the chemistry. You had these three guys who were firing on all cylinders and it made for a pretty energetic show.”

With Eklund’s departure, Grant and Bailer found themselves searching for a drummer with the pressure of having some dates for gigs already set. As luck would have it, they landed the services of the drummer from well-known Edmonton band Tupelo Honey, Greg Williamson.

“He came in and did a fantastic job,” said Bailer, who had met Williamson back in the Screwtape Lewis days. “So away we went and he did a great job – we were able to play that tour.”

These days, they have several drummers to call on. It’s a unique situation but it’s proving to be working quite well for the guys. “We don’t have a permanent drummer right now, and that’s the question – what’s the best thing for us to do? If we were playing full time, we would fill that position.

“So it’s new for us – Terry and I have never played in a band where we have had interchangeable drummers. It was the old model where you had your three permanent guys and you never subbed out.”

But Bailer said he’s come to see it’s more

common than he had first thought, particularly in the country world. “When something comes up you start putting out that call for someone who is available and that way, you don’t ever really lose a gig.

“We don’t have to slow down for any reason. And now that we have those guys up to speed, it’s really full steam ahead.”

Looking back, after Screwtape Lewis wrapped things up, Bailer found himself writing tunes not on behalf of a group, for primarily for himself.

He tapped into music he had first heard as a kid, and all kinds of inspiration surfaced. Today he notes that he’s not so much attracted to what’s happening musically in ever-shifting pop culture, but draws inspiration from classic tunes from earlier eras.

Currently, things are moving along briskly with the band consistently landing several high profile gigs while continuing a busy touring schedule. Bailer said that overall, it’s all about pushing the band to the next level.

“It’s really about more people hearing about the band. We felt the debut was really well received and people liked the variety in the songs.” For this year’s release, the goal was to pretty much stay the course which has proven to work so well.

“Quite often people leave the shows with both albums, so people are still connecting with our overall style,” he says. “And wherever we go, people identify with the energy of the music.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

CAT offers ‘two for one’ in new production

BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Central Alberta Theatre is serving up two one-act plays as the company has re-launched dinner theatre productions this month at the North Hill Quality Inn. Norm Foster’s My Narrator and The Death of Me are both being staged, with shows running through to Nov. 29th.

Deb O’Brien, a terrific actor in her own right, has taken on directing duties for both plays. My Narrator starts things off on a promising note, with the always-

engaging Cynthia Edwards opening the quirky tale that features two young people who, at first glance, have absolutely nothing in common.

Miles is a jittery, awkward fellow working in a clothing store who approaches a customer by the name of Lacey to strike up a conversation. He’s clearly smitten by the attractive young woman and stops at nothing to line up a date.

The aforementioned Edwards serves as Lacey’s interior ‘narrator’ – that voice of guidance in her head that tries to ensure

21st Annual

Lacey avoids both personal and relational disaster.

Likewise, we learn that Miles also has a narrator – the superb Michael Sutherland – who never fails to crack up audiences with his spot on sense of timing and naturally, unforced wit and charm.

As for the script, it flows along well and takes a couple of unexpected but interesting turns.

Jessica Summers and Ian Sheppard, as Lacey and Miles, are also very solid in their respective turns onstage – there’s a believable, natural chemistry between the two, and it’s interesting to see confidence build and walls come down as the characters begin to connect.

Also a winning combination are Edwards and Sutherland – two CAT veterans who, as the witty, expressive narrators, eventu-

ally do a little ‘connecting’ of their own.

The Death of Me follows a fellow by the name of John (Josh Earl) who, when he bargains with the Angel of Death (Erna Soderberg) for a second chance at life, discovers fixing the mistakes of one’s past is difficult – to say the least.

One ordinary day he suddenly drops dead and finds himself humorously sparring with the Angel of Death – a hilarious Soderberg, who never fails to light up any stage she sets foot on.

There aren’t many quite like her, a charismatic actor who always nails comedic material with confidence, lots of style and plenty of spark.

She offers John the chance to go back to earth, but there’s a certain task he must undertake which makes him incredibly un-

opinion, as My Narrator.

There isn’t quite the consistent flow – and as strong as the acting is, the story itself doesn’t have the sparkle that surfaced time and again in My Narrator.

Pacing was a bit of an issue as well, but that’s not a huge obstacle to overcome.

Ultimately, it’s good to see the return of the dinner theatre format, and the presentation of two one-act plays is a refreshing and engaging change of pace.

Kudos to Deb O’Brien who has clearly taken much pride and joy in guiding both stories along – those sensibilities, in turn, have impacted the actors in their respective shows which will only grow more assured, particularly in the case of The Death of Me, as the run continues.

comfortable.

Plus he’s under a tight timeline.

Let’s just say the task has something to do with the prickly young lady by the name of Cassie (Kira O’Brien) who left him standing at the alter a few years previously. O’Brien is terrific as the sharptongued, no-nonsense Cassie who John drops by to chat with.

On the other hand, John seems perpetually edgy and seemingly incapable of uttering a cross word towards anyone. Earl plays the part perfectly, capturing John’s likability, tentativeness and uncertainty to near perfection. Dennis O’Brien, another superbly talented CAT veteran, rounds out the play delightfully in a supportive, yet very key role.

Green is the first in a series of three planned concept albums for the band.

The ‘Green, Gold, Red’ package is meant to encompass the diversity of reggae music with each album taking on a different form of the genre.

The first disc Green takes on the rootsy, earthy side of reggae.

Gold will have a bit more island pop, and the third Red will be a little more ska/aggresive.

These albums will showcase Tasman Jude’s take on reggae - going back to roots of reggae music which teaches of God, peace, love, joy, truth, freedom, justice, unity and serenity.

Grande Prairie may seem like the last place you’d find a reggae band but that’s where Tasman Jude was formed.

The band started when Al Peterson and Caleb ‘BraveHart’ Hart decided on a whim to hit the stage back early last year.

After only three improvised songs, they were surrounded by a crowd asking where their music could be found and so Tasman Jude (now including Adam Paananen and Derek Wilder) was established.

“We don’t have fans, we have family members,” says lead vocalist Hart.

“These people support us, love us and we hope to give them something more than music back.”

Cote primed for coaching challenges with the Chiefs

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express Brandin Cote has made a habit out of stepping into some big shoes or in this case, some big skates.

He jumped behind the bench of the Bentley Generals, taking over from Brian Sutter and this summer he took the job of bench boss for the Midget AAA Optimist Chiefs.

That would be the two-time national midget champion Chiefs coached by Doug Quinn.

So what is it with taking on these big challenges?

“I put myself in that position and I’m my own person. I’ve never wavered from that,” he said.

“I’m not going to make those comparisons. Doug and Brian were great coaches and have done great things for the organizations they’ve been a part of.”

He is up front right away about taking away what he’s learned during his playing years and applying his own hockey philosophy to the current situation.

As far as coming into one of the most successful programs in the country, Cote says expectations have always been high where he’s been playing or coaching and his tenure behind the bench will be no different than previous regimes.

“I’m definitely here first and foremost for the kids, to help them develop as people and players,” he said.

Cote says he doesn’t mind coming into a situation where there are expectations to win but so far the winning has been tough with the Chiefs in the unfamiliar position of being down around the bottom of their division.

“Our team so far has battled through adversity but I think at the end of the day we’re really encouraged at how the kids are progressing even though from the outside looking in it doesn’t look like it has in the past.”

Cote says the team has four vet-

erans on the roster with another coming back soon, and is missing some key players and having to rely heavily on affiliate players so it’s tough to get the chemistry needed early in the year.

“That’s not an excuse. It’s just a fact but the thing is with the way the program has gone, we’re going to get every team’s best game, every game,” he said. “I think it’s taken a bit of time for the kids who are new to the program to

really realize that.”

He feels strongly about the steps the team has made over the course of a few weeks, pointing to a 1-0 loss against CAC where he felt the Chiefs deserved a better fate.

It has left him with a good feeling that what they’re doing is the right thing and if the players stick with it and remain positive, a turnaround in fortune is close at hand.

“Our expectation is they just

come to work everyday and do the right things and be together as a team and stick up for each other and play the right way.”

Cote says there is some frustration from the players and the coaches in the way the season has started but he’s confident in what is being taught on the ice is the right approach.

“I really believe they are getting better as players. We have too deep of a team to say ‘Okay,

it’s been good for five years’ to let that go.”

He admits he’d like to see better results but stands behind his players and staff that they will work through this rough patch.

“The old saying is it’s not what happens to you, it’s how you respond to it and if you can kind of weather that storm it will make you better as a person and as a team going forward.” sports@reddeerexpress.com

EXHIBITION – The Red Deer College Queens hockey team took on the Calgary Edge Academy last week at the Arena. Queen’s left wing Rikki Leonard buzzes past a defender on a drive to the net. The final score of the exhibition game ended with a 4-1 score for the Edge.

A report card you can finally look forward to.

Red Deer Curling Classic begins Friday

BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express The Red Deer Curling Classic has hit the City with a couple of different looks over the years but the common denominator has been the talent.

This year 32 men’s teams and 28 women’s teams will take to the ice at the Pidherny Centre Nov. 14th-17th.

“We’re up over last year and looking at what’s happening on the tour there hasn’t been an event so far that’s had more than 20 ladies’ teams or 24 men’s team,” said Wade Thurber, spokesperson for the classic. “We feel pretty fortunate to get what we’ve got.”

On the men’s draw you’ll get to see the defending champion Brock Virtue who will enter play with world junior champion Charlie Thomas throwing stones for him.

Brendan Botchee is also in the draw along with another classic champion Jamie King.

The women’s draw will feature Rachel Homan, Kelly Scott, Heather Nedohin and Shannon Kleibrink, all strong rinks, said Thurber.

He said it’s still going to take some very good curling to win it all but he admits some more big name rinks would have been nice to slot into the draw.

Thurber points out while the money

and competition is solid at this event there are those rinks who are chasing the bigger purses and so getting them to come to Red Deer can be a tough sell.

“It’s getting harder because they keep making more grand slam events and so that’s bigger money and on television,” he said. “There’s five of them now and we actually had to change our date this year because they put one of those grand slams on our date.”

There is an international flavour to the classic as well with rinks from Switzerland, South Korea and Russia taking part along side some of the local talent showing up to test their skill with rinks like Dustin Eckstrand, Lowell Peterman and Harvey Kelts in the mix.

From a spectator’s perspective, Thurber said you will get to see these players arriving without a lot of rust on them after the summer even though it’s early November.

“These teams have been curling since September so it should be some good curling,” he said. “When these teams come here most of them will have had two months under their belt.”

So the bottom line is decent prize money, a first class facility, great ice and some stiff competition.

It all adds up to another solid Red Deer Curling Classic.

The first draw is Nov. 14th at 9:30 a.m. sports@reddeerexpress.com

Inspiration from recent golf championship If you are any kind of sports fan I’m certain there are times when you’ve been to an event, witnessed something outstanding and was motivated or inspired by the accomplishment.

It might be as simple as a player fighting through adversity and coming out on top. Recently I was fortunate enough to watch a group of men and women compete at the highest level for their sport and walked away in awe. It was the sport of long drive and most golfers will tell you they are blown away by the length these hitters achieve when smacking the daylights out of a golf ball.

Drives upwards of 340 yards are normal during this slugfest which leaves many people shaking their heads at the end.

Now I watched in amazement as hitter after hitter got up, stuck a tee in the ground, placed the ball on top, reared back and let ‘er rip. Oh, one other thing about this competition

Rumble in Red Deer hosts big names When Dale Belcher stepped into the boxing ring for the first time six years ago at the very first Rumble In Red Deer, there were no heartwarming underdog stories to be told.

He saw a poster of the event and had been wanting to try his hand at something competitive for a while but was finding there were few options available to a 40-year-old adult when it came to competi-

The common denominator in all of this action was how excited each one of these people was when it came time to hit.

There was plenty of camaraderie and some good natured ribbing going on.

It was also a perfect display of how these amputees showed what they can do and not what they can’t.

If you were there and didn’t feel inspired and humbled at the same time I would be very surprised.

You couldn’t help but be amazed at what each one of the athletes there accomplished. They took the competition side very seriously and were just as involved in the sportsmanship aspect of the event.

I will never hit the ball as far as some of these folks but I sure can take away a lesson about how to knock down a barrier or two moving forward.

Belcher kept going and has since been coined a two-time Ringside Masters World Heavyweight Champion and will be returning to the Rumble in Red Deer.

Save calories and money by packing your own lunch How much do you typically spend when you eat out for lunch—$5, $10, or even $15?

That can add up quickly to between $100 and $300 a month or $1,200–3,600 a year.

Jack

WHEELER Money isn’t the only concern.

Calories are hard to manage at restaurants, too. Yes, it may be fun eating with your coworkers, but think of all the money and calories you could save if you just spent a few minutes before bed or in the morning packing a simple lunch. A little extra effort can make a big difference in the size of your bank account and your waist.

When you pack your own lunch you have the ability to control portion sizes and what ingredients are in your food. Unfortunately, many people get stuck in a rut when it comes to packed lunches. The same peanut butter and jelly sandwich day after day can get old quickly. Here are a few ideas that may inspire you to pack a few more lunches this week.

The Go-To Sandwich - when you think of a packed lunch, you likely think of sandwiches. If you’re a sandwich person, that’s great. There are numerous kinds of sandwiches and wraps you can make in a jiffy. Should you go this route, always choose wholewheat bread, wraps, or pitas.

Then add your fillings. And make them healthy! Try tuna fish, lean deli meats, grilled chicken, humus or egg slices. Include veggies like greens, sprouts, cucumber slices, onions, tomatoes, olives or pickles. Top it off with light mayonnaise (or no mayo at all), mustard, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and other spices to add flavor. If you must, add a slice of low-fat cheese.

Leftovers - unless you’re opposed to eating last night’s dinner, leftovers make easy and delicious lunches the next day.

Purposefully make extra food for dinner then divide up the leftovers in small containers. In the morning all you have to do is grab it and go. Put your food in the fridge at work and microwave it when lunchtime rolls around.

Hot lunch you don’t have to feel guilty about? Score!

You can also spend a couple hours on your day off making a big pot of soup, chili, or your favorite meal. Then divide it into containers and place them in

the freezer for the days you don’t have time to pack a lunch.

Canned or frozen - you have to be picky about what you buy, but stocking up on low-calorie, lowsodium canned or frozen meals is a quick and easy way to save a few bucks at lunch.

In the morning grab can of soup or a frozen dinner entrée and you’re good to go.

Snacks and sides - nutritious, low-calorie snacks can be part of a healthy diet. A small morning and afternoon snack provide the energy you need to function at your best. With plenty of these on hand, you won’t need any more

stops at the vending machine.

A piece of fruit, some raw veggies, a handful of nuts, a cup of low-fat yogurt, a granola bar, or whole-wheat crackers and hummus spread are great options for simple packed snacks.

If needed, include a couple sides to go with your sandwich, left-overs, or canned soup to fill you up. Pack a small salad (or a large salad for the main dish), apple slices, carrot or celery sticks, or some whole-grain chips.

Drink smart - save even more money and calories by bringing something from home to drink.

Pack a water bottle or a to-go

mug of coffee or tea to keep you from stopping by the coffee shop or vending machine. And when you’re feeling hungry, drink some more water. It may just quench your hunger.

Try packing your own lunch tomorrow and see how easy and yummy it can be.

Plan, plan, plan - before your next trip to the grocery store, make a list of the foods and snacks you’ll need for packing lunches. That way you’ll have what you need on hand and won’t be tempted to eat out.

Jack Wheeler is a personal trainer and owner of 360 Fitness in Red Deer.

PATRIOTIC MOMENT - Tim Van Horn put the finishing touches on his piece, ‘Canadian Mosaic’ recently when he mounted the 27ft. by 7ft. piece on the side of his garage. The mosaic is comprised of 14,000 Canadians who he has photographed over the course of his nation-wide journey which began in 2008.

Some medical myths that should die A sage African American once remarked, “It’s not the things you don’t know that gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure, that ain’t so”. So here are some medical myths that just ain’t so.

Myth # 1 - Wearing a copper bracelet cures arthritis.

Those who promote copper bracelets say that copper is absorbed through the skin and helps cartilage regenerate.

But there’s no evidence that copper regenerates damaged cartilage to reduce pain. Our bodies need only small amounts of copper and we get this in our daily diet by eating

Dr. Gifford

JONES vegetables such as potatoes, beans and peas. If copper bracelets were the answer, millions of North Americans seeking pain relief would be wearing them.

Myth # 2 – You can’t catch sexually transmitted disease by sitting on a toilet seat.

It’s not likely to happen. But having said that, there’s no guarantee it can’t happen. Dr. Trudy

Larsen, researcher at the University of California, asked a patient with an active herpes lesion to sit on a toilet seat for just a few seconds.

Later, she took cultures from the seat and found that the herpes virus survived for four hours! Mother’s advice was right, “Don’t sit on a public toilet seat.”

Myth # 3 - A high fiber diet prevents colon cancer.

Fiber helps to cure constipation, so it would seem to follow that removing carcinogens quickly from the bowel would decrease the

risk of colon cancer.

But studies so far have failed to show that a high fiber diet will prevent colon malignancy.

However, a high fiber diet decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Myth # 4 – Vitamin C prevents the common cold.

Linus Pauling thought it did, and he was the recipient of two Nobel prizes!

But trials using 1,000 milligrams (mg) of C failed to show any significant effect in reducing this common annoyance.

Myth # 5 – Hamburgers are safe as long as the meat is not pink.

I always order a steak ‘blue’ and I may be pushing my luck too far.

But I want hamburgers well done.

I have no desire to fool around with E. coli 0157:H7, which has the ability to survive in ground beef even when the pink is gone.

But about 5% of the elderly and children under five years of age develop the uremic hemolytic syndrome from less than well done hamburgers.

This causes destruction of red blood cells, kidney failure, and three to five percent of patients die. It’s too high a price to pay for a rare hamburger.

Successful Snowfest supports local shops

BY KALISHA MENDONSA Red Deer Express Snowfest is a largely successful ski, snowboard and travel expo that will hit the Westerner this weekend, bringing with it a variety of vendors for ski and snowboard enthusiasts.

The event takes place in the Agri-Centre East facility on Nov. 15th-16th, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 and free for kids 12 and under.

Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance downtown at Allrose.

The expo will include a live freestyle ski demo, a snowboarding contest featuring 40 riders from across western Canada, video premieres, giveaways and more. Giveaways will include brand-new snowboards.

“Tim Nelson, who owns Allrose, and myself just love snowboarding and like helping to grow it out here in Red Deer. We do the expo to help out local stores and other shops and to kind of promote the scene,” said Chris Sereda, owner of Shredz in Cochrane, formerly located in Sylvan Lake.

“There are stores mostly from Alberta, but from Saskatchewan and B.C as well. There are also all the big resorts and hotels and travel companies and really any kind of industry-related companies are there as well.

12:18 PM “This year, the snowboarding contest is coming back too, where riders have been invited to compete for cash.”

Sereda said that a big reason the expo runs is to give exposure to locally-owned, unique ski and snowboard shops, but also to let people in on travel deals for the season.

“We don’t allow franchise stores in the event. We’re

kind of selective with who we let come – it’s kind of like a big family we’ve grown with other shops similar to Allrose and to mine that are just kind of one-off shops. We do this in part to help out those kinds of stores,” he said.

A new aspect this year is a dedicated kids’ zone, which will feature a small ramp for kids to try out boards and skis on. Representatives from Riders on Board, a snowboarding school that runs in Red Deer, Calgary and Edmonton, will be available to help kids who wish to test out the gear.

Sereda said that often times, parents have come to the expo wondering where they can find gear for their children but this year things will be different.

“We have brought in kid-specific retailers to be there as well. We always have families who come to the events and the parents are asking where to get their kids’ snowboard and ski stuff, so this year we will have the retailers there that can cater to those families,” Sereda said.

The Central Alberta Ski Patrol will also be on site operating a ski and snowboard swap. The Canada Ski Patrol is a national non-profit volunteer-based organization whose members provide first aid and rescue services on ski hills.

They will be collecting equipment on Nov. 14th to sell in the show.

Items that will be included in the swap are new and used boots, helmets, skis, snowboards and cross-country skis.

Sereda said the swap is one of the most anticipated portions of the event.

Snowfest will also receive some assistance from Central Alberta Refugee Effort (CARE). CARE will be providing volunteers for the event, who will in turn be sponsored by Snowfest to go skiing and snowboarding. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

ULTRA MODERN – The sleek design in the dining room of this Falcon Homes show home in Red Deer’s Vanier Woods district wouldn’t be complete without the oversized floral centre-piece and edgy furniture.

Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express

The enduring beauty and charm of spiral staircases I have always found spiral staircases unbearably charming and when I find one in a home it is a delight!

A friend of mine recently purchased a home with a spiral staircase to the basement and it is very charming as it is the only way to the basement besides the exterior cellar doors. It makes me wonder about the design dreams of the original builder and assume that the staircase was put in as a space saving measure as it drops right out of the corner of the kitchen.

The most famous spiral stair case that I found after asking Google is the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The archdiocese commissioned the church be built and apparently died during the construction.

Kim

MECKLER After his death it was noted that there was no way to reach the choir loft and no room for a traditional staircase.

Lore tells us that an anonymous man showed up, locked himself in the church for months and fashioned a spiral staircase out of steamed wood, almost as if a miracle had taken place!

Not that I believe everything I read online but the photos show a beautifully-crafted staircase, however it came into existence.

Spiral steps have been located

in ancient ruins and in structures believed to be thousands of years old. It is believed that staircases as early as the fifth century were constructed to creep up castle walls giving the defending castle an advantage over marauders who attempted to overtake their keep.

The narrow, winding structure made it difficult for soldiers to draw their swords and made the range of motion very difficult.

Efficiency and beauty all wrapped up in one curvy structure. The staircase was definitely created to give the person at the top (defender) the right hand advantage whereas the person climbing from the bottom (attacker) would have his right hand tightly wedged against the castle wall. Thank you Google!

When these staircases originated they were generally built around a centre pole construction with a helix-type shape circling around the centre point.

Advances in engineering and materials have made it possible to construct modern spiral staircases with no centre support, giving it a free floating look.

I have seen one such example here in Red Deer which spans three storeys with a connection point on the banister only at the base and at the top – it is a breathtaking sight, almost as if a miracle has taken place!

The current day practical application of this staircase is in its space saving properties. Spiral staircases are used when square footage is at a minimum and there

is another story to access or they are used in grand fashion in larger homes to give a sensual shape and wow factor to the home.

Either way they are lovely in any home, on any balcony or deck and are an absolute dream feature if you have children as the whimsy of this staircase is enchanting to people of all ages.

So whether you are defending your castle or possibly just your swanky barbecue deck, a spiral staircase may be the perfect solution.

It also may just be a wonderful looking, space saving idea for travelling from one floor to another as you look for ways to put whimsy and charm in your home.

Selling your current home and moving into a new one can be stressful enough, let alone worrying about your current mortgage and whether you’re able to carry it over to your new home.

Porting enables you to move to another property without having to lose your existing interest rate, mortgage balance and term.

And, better yet, the ability to port also saves you money by avoiding early discharge penalties.

It’s important to note, however, that not all mortgages are portable.

When it comes to fixedrate mortgage products, you usually have a portability option.

Lenders often use a ‘blended’ system where your current mortgage rate stays the same on the mortgage amount ported over to the new property and the new balance is calculated using the current interest rate.

With variable-rate mortgages, on the other hand,

Jean-Guy

TURCOTTE porting is usually not available.

As such, upon breaking your existing mortgage, a three-month interest penalty will be charged. This charge may or may not be reimbursed with your new mortgage.

Porting conditions while porting typically ensures no penalty will be charged when you sell your existing property and buy a new one, some conditions that may apply include: - Some lenders allow you to port your mortgage, but your sale and purchase have to happen on the same day.

Other lenders offer a week to do this, some a month and others up to three months.

- Some lenders don’t allow a changed term or force you into a longer term as part of agreeing to port your mortgage.

- Some lenders will, in fact, reimburse your entire penalty whether you’re a fixed or variable borrower if you simply get a new mortgage with the same lender – replacing the one being discharged.

Additionally, some lenders will even allow you to move into a brand new term of your choice and start fresh.

- There are instances where it’s better to pay a penalty at the time of selling and get into a new term at a brand new rate that could save back your penalty over the course of the new term.

Need Assistance, but don’t want to give up your Independence?

WHEN SHOULD I SEE A PEDORTHIST?

Then Symphony Senior Living is the place for you.

If you are dealing with foot pain, suffering from a disease process that affects foot circulation or sensation, or have noticed abnormal wear patterns on your footwear, you may want to visit your local Pedorthist. They will be able to help you with your foot and lower limb discomfort. As one of the few medical professionals educated in the design, manufacture, fit and modifi cation of footwear and orthotics, Certified Pedorthists are regularly called upon to fill orthotic / footwear prescriptions and make recommendations.

Pedorthists are trained to deal with both common and complicated conditions of the human foot. In some cases internal or external footwear modifications (ie. sole lifts, rocker soles, balloon patches, changes to the shoe profile) may be indicated to treat foot deformities. A custom made foot orthotic may also be indicated to deal with specific biomechanical problems, pressure distribution or impact. Your Pedorthist is qualified to assess and treat these and many other conditions of the foot or lower leg.

We are pleased to introduce a new concept of Supportive Living Services to our communities. We believe that our Residents should be able to stay in their suite of choice as their needs change and more assistance is required.

We know that as you age, some everyday activities can become challenging, preventing you from enjoying the simple pleasures of living.

As the responsibilities of providing care for a much loved friend or family member becomes more than what can adequately be managed at home, we offer an alternative.

Allow us to provide care and services, while you return to the enjoyment of living, regaining your relationship and peace-of-mind.

Call us today and we’d be glad to listen and share information that will help.

Did We Hear You Say Lighting?!

MILEAGE LOGS FOR BUSINESS USE OF AUTOMOBILES All business kilometers used for company vehicles should be recorded in a log book. You can keep it in your vehicle, along with a pen, so it is easy to take a quick second to write down odometer readings. This way you will be able to prove to CRA what amount the vehicle was used for business. It is better than the alternative of having conflicts with the government on the automotive expenses and GST claimed by the company.

If you have a corporation and you use a personal vehicle for business use, the best way to handle this is to keep a mileage log of the business kilometers and be reimbursed by the company for them. Generally, the current allowable reimbursement is $0.54/km for the first 5,000 kilometers of business use per year. The rate then drops to $0.48/km for any business use over this amount. By doing this the company cannot claim any further fuel, repairs, insurance, etc. paid in relation to your personal vehicle as this is what the reimbursement is for.

H otBY: Tubs SHEILA EDMONDSON I have always heard hot tubs are full of bacteria, is that true?

The high temperature of the water and the fact that our bodies are covered in bacteria, sad but true, it is the perfect environment for bacteria growth. Untreated water can cause serious health problems. Don’t let that scare you - safe sanitizer levels as controlled by Health Canada ensure EVERY person using a hot tub with the proper sanitizer level will not have to think twice about anything than the enjoyment of the spa. The staff at Sun N Fun Pool & Spa are trained by SpaGuard, we know how to analyze your water - will step you through hot tub maintenance - you will use the right product at the right time. Bring us a liter of your spa water, tell us how many liters of water your spa holds and leave the rest to us - no more guessing!

We look forward to seeing you at our new location.
