PIPESTONE FLYER L9
Crankbrook singer nails ‘less is more’ approach
Tips to keep valuables safe in public centers BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER With all types of robberies, burglaries and thievery prominent right now, law enforcement services are encouraging the public to take a few simple steps to help protect their valuables when using public recreation facilities. Leduc RCMP Cst. Julian Celms says one of the biggest tips for people to remember is to not make themselves an easier target by presenting thieves with an opportunity. “Don’t bring them (valuables) in and lock them up,” said Celms. He adds when going swimming or to the gym or the Recreation Centre keep valuables to a bare minimum. Instead of bringing your entire wallet only bring a drivers license, enough cash to cover what you are doing and maybe a debit card. If you do bring valuables with you
lock them in a locker or keep them locked in a vehicle. “The root is opportunity,” said Celms. “It’s so frustrating, that little mistake … It’s about locking it up.” “Don’t talk about how much cash you have on you in the locker room, don’t check your emails on your phone. Don’t draw attention to yourself,” he added. If someone does become a victim of theft Celms says they should report the incident to both the facility and the police. Having as much information as possible will help to to track patterns. “It’s a very difficult crime to catch because we don’t put cameras in change rooms for a reason,” said Celms. He added it is the preventative measures taken before a crime that are even more important than the ones after when it comes to keeping valuables safe.
Canadian Tire WEEKLY SPECIALS Dawson Rutledge’s Today, Tonight, Tomorrow album is a collective of eight beautiful folk-alternative songs. BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER With a wealth of talent already at his fingertips a young Cranbrook, BC, singer/songwriter is ready to take on the folk music world. Dawson Rutledge’s Today, Tonight, Tomorrow album is a collective of eight beautiful folk-alternative songs. Rutledge has a distinguished raw talent that will only continue to grow with more experience, a sensational voice and a way of viewing the world unique and well-seasoned beyond his young 18 years. His voice could do with a little more maturation, as it sounded thin in places and then richer and deeper in others. However, Rutledge, despite those issues, still manages to seamlessly blend the personality carried in his voice with the ambiance of whatever song he’s singing; and the music does vary throughout the course of the album. The title track Today, Tonight, Tomorrow was more moody with a darker tone while some of the other songs on the album, such as Mysterious Woman, were more funky and upbeat, and others took on
a haunting whimsical hue — The Kingdom. Throughout the album Rutledge’s musical talents were always on display and those talents extend far beyond his voice. Rutledge plays both the electric and acoustic guitar and can accompany himself on the kick drum and harmonica. In many songs the instruments are quite prominent and you can almost image his fingers flying across the frets of the guitar or or leaning in to breath life into the lonesome harmonica. The first few songs of Today, Tonight, Tomorrow display a more abstract way of storytelling while the later songs take a more linear, traditional approach. Having the two varieties is definitely a bonus and keeps the album from sounding too monotonous
or eclectic. Rutledge possess a strong grasp of his storytelling abilities, as his voice has a pleasing, rhythmic lilt. However, the song Johnny’s Tale is wordy and awkward in spots; but that’s the only song that comes across less than perfectly polished in that aspect. With themes of love, adventure, the frailness and imperfection of humanity and the inevitability of time there’s no doubt Rutledge will rise through the music ranks. And while we may never see him as a super successful megastar I think what he has already created for himself will stay purer out of that environment. I hope he grows into his abilities but I wouldn’t want him to change the foundation of his sound too much, it’s already something magical.
