DON’T DRINK & DRIVE

A mother’s memories of her late son Robert was the oldest son of five children. He had one older sister, two younger sisters and a younger brother. His dad worked in the oilfield and was away a lot and he always told Robert that he had to take care of mom and his siblings. He had to be ‘the man of the family’ and as a result, Robert and I were very close.

I relied on him a lot. I remember how he would read me the newspaper while I puttered around in the kitchen and we would have great discussions about whatever world event was current. He always had to share all his exciting news with me.

Many nights I would be asleep when he came home from being with his friends and I would feel that touch on my shoulder.

“Mom remember so and so?”

The next morning he would tease and say I bet you don’t remember a thing I said. He would be surprised when I would repeat some of it back to him. He had the most beautiful blue eyes

that would just twinkle when he laughed, which he did often. He loved life and people.

Robert had a serious illness when he was about eight-yearsold, since then he always said he wanted to be a doctor. He graduated with honours and then he worked for the City of Red Deer for two years. That spring he registered at the U of A and was accepted into medicine. His girlfriend was accepted into education. He gave notice to the City and worked his last day on Aug. 18th. That would give us time to move him to Edmonton and get him ready to start school Sept. 1st. He came home from work at about 5 p.m. and I had supper ready. It was just Robert and I eating that night. He said, “Oh mom, it smells so good, but I want to go to the gym and workout first, can you just put it in the microwave and I will eat right after?”

We lived by the green water tower and at about 8 p.m. I could hear sirens on the Spruce

he should be coming home. I silently prayed, “Please God don’t let that be Robert.” As time went by I became more anxious.

I just wished he would come home so I could stop worrying.

The doorbell rang and an RMP

stood there, I knew by the look on his face it wasn’t good and it was Robert. I prayed he was just hurt.

Robert was 21-years-old. He was killed instantly and his friend suffered severe injuries to his leg. The driver was so drunk he couldn’t turn the corner and pinned Robert and his friend against the guardrail. The driver had four previous impaired driving charges and was seen at 5 p.m. so drunk he couldn’t get his car in gear. No one reported him.

I still feel Robert’s touch on my shoulder sometimes at night. I still see his beautiful smile. It’s like losing an arm or leg, I’ve learned to live without him, but I will miss him forever. I wonder what kind of doctor he would have been and what his children would be like. Someone said about him, “He was the kindest gentlest man he ever met.”

Local high school teacher lands national honours Mandy Reed included in Prime Minister’s Award of Teaching Excellence

BY ERIN FAWCETT RED DEER EXPRESS

O

ne local teacher has been given a national award which is part of the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence. École Secondaire Notre Dame High School’s Grade 10 Assistant Principal, Mandy Reed has won a Certificate of Achievement and $1,000 for professional development.

Reed is one of 35 teachers who was honoured from across Canada and is the only teacher in Central Alberta to be recognized for this award. Over the years, she has taught social studies, Canadian studies and English as a Second Language to Grade 10 to 12 students.

“It’s an honour to be recognized at the national level, but it’s really what we do every day to make education meaningful and engaging for our students in Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools. This was a team approach. I’ve been surrounded by great mentors my entire teaching career with Red Deer Catholic and it’s a culmination of all that hard work and mentorship coming together,” she said. “It was an honour just to be nominated and about a year had passed before I had been notified that I had won the award and I was quite happily surprised.”

Reed was nominated by the principal and vice-principal at Notre Dame High School.

“It’s a pretty thorough application process that they have to go through. They have to acquire testimonials from parents and students. I had to fill out a questionnaire about things that I did in my classroom and they have to collect three reference letters and send them in as well.”

Reed’s contributions and achievements include being recognized as a master teacher and English as a Second Language specialist. She regularly helps colleagues in other disciplines integrate strategies for supporting English-language learners in their classes. She also developed the Taste of Home study unit where students brought recipes and memories of home to class, which became the basis for language arts, social studies, science and math lessons. The unit ended with a feast of dishes from students’ countries of origin cooked at school with parents’ help.

“It’s something that really helps the kids stay connected with their home culture. We have a unit of study where they are writing about memories of home. Everyone has memories connected with food. What was it like to be in your grandma’s kitchen? Do you remember what her hands looked like when she was grinding the corn or stirring her cake? We want kids to be able to cele-

I found I was naturally drawn to students and English as a Second Language is what I minored in in university and I was naturally drawn to that and I had a real talent for that.”

Reed added there is much she loves about her job.

“I love the relationships we get to have with the students. Especially being an English as a Second Language teacher, we see students that are reunited with their families and students who are new to Canada. We get to share what is great about our country and what makes not just Canada but what makes Red Deer an ideal place to grow up, live and be a member of society,” she said. “We get to see kids through their hard times and their good times and help celebrate with them and help encourage them along the way.

Nothing makes you happier when you see them cross the graduation stage and knowing you had a hand in that.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Loaves and Fishes to close at the end of June

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS The Loaves and Fishes Benevolent Society will be closing its doors at the end of June with the Calgary-based Mustard Seed taking over the organization’s assets.

According to a statement released by the Loaves and Fishes board this week, the organization has struggled for the past number of years with a lack of financial resources.

“Our hearts are broken,” said Halina Jarvis, executive director of Loaves and Fishes, adding that she’s concerned about where the people they serve will go for the next few months for help - until The Mustard Seed’s operations fully kick in locally.

“It’s been our heart and our passion - we’ve lived and breathed this place,” she said, adding that Loaves and Fishes also provides outreach and crisis intervention services.

She is also worried about where the folks they provide supper for three times a week will eat. “I worry where will they eat - it’s 200 meals three times a week.

“They were so welcome here - we were a safe place,” she said. “So we will try to transition as well as we can

with minimal damage to the people - that’s my big cry right now - to try and minimize the damage that’s going to happen to them for three months.

“Maybe in the interim some of the churches will kick in,” she said. “We’ll also see what we can do to alleviate what’s going to happen to these folks, because that’s the big thing right now.

“I’m also worried about the ground level crisis people that we always tried to help.

That was our passion and our heart - to help the people that nobody else would help.”

Jarvis said the call-out for increased help has gone out over the past while, but there just wasn’t enough to keep the organization moving forward. Loaves and Fishes receives no government funding on any level, and relies on the help of individuals, families, local businesses and corporations.

But she acknowledged that with the downturn in the economy, there just aren’t as many dollars to go around.

Mayor Tara Veer said the loss is a significant one for the community.

“Loaves and Fishes has been an institution in Red Deer and has provided out-

standing service to the vulnerable among us for over 20 years. In that sense it is a loss to the community because of who they are and all that they have brought to community life in terms of social supports in Red Deer,” she said. “We’re grateful The Mustard Seed is going to take over operations so there is not a gap. Our City staff has already met with The Mustard Seed and they have expressed interest in working with us.”

Veer added funding is available, but, “All of the social supports in terms of the provincial and federal dollars that flows through, they all go to open calls for proposal. At any time Loaves and Fishes, like any other not for profit, had the right to apply for those programs and it is a competitive process and those programs are over-subscribed.”

Effective June 30th, Loaves and Fishes Benevolent Society will close its doors and no longer operate or provide any services in Red Deer or surrounding area.

Meanwhile, The Mustard Seed is looking forward to the opportunity to provide services to people experiencing poverty and homelessness in

Red Deer and area.

“It is with mixed feelings that we accept these assets,” said Stephen Wile, CEO of The Mustard Seed.

“On the one hand, we are very sorry the Society has had to cease operations. On the other hand, we are excited about the opportunities for future ministry growth in Red Deer to help meet some very tangible needs.”

Over the next few months, The Mustard Seed will conduct a needs assessment to determine where there might be gaps in programs and services for men and women who are desperately in need of assistance due to poverty and/or homelessness.

“We will be talking with community leaders, human service agencies, churches and other stakeholders,” said Wile. “Our goal is to operate in some capacity

by September.”

The Loaves and Fishes School Lunch Program is one service that The Mustard Seed plans to continue with in the fall, whether by running it themselves or in conjunction with another agency. The program provides lunches to more than 300 school children who might otherwise not have a nutri-

tious meal at mid-day.

Over the next month, The Mustard Seed will be working with Loaves and Fishes to ensure continuity of care for its clients by re-directing them to existing agencies that can provide them with vital programs and services.

Another organization operating in the basement of the Loaves and Fishes building has been given notice to vacate by June 30th.

The Safe Harbour Society has rented the space on a month-to-month basis to run its Peoples Place program, which provides emergency shelter to as many as 35 men and women. The Mustard Seed is committed to working with them to ensure another location can be found for this important program, according to a release.

Meanwhile, the statement from Loaves and Fishes also noted, “We have attempted some resolutions but have not been able to turn things around. We are in a tough economy and there are many organizations competing for charitable contributions; therefore, it does not seem our situation is going to improve.

“Our closure would have been much sooner, but, rec-

ognizing that this is a faithbased ministry and that the work we have been involved with has been to follow our motto as explained by Matthew 25:35, ‘I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,’ we kept trying to improve our situation and get more involvement from our donors and the Church community.

This has not happened.”

The statement also noted that the organization has tried to take action to operate within their resources and continue to provide this ministry.

“Churches have provided some assistance, about $30,000 per year, but the majority of our funding comes from individuals, a few organizations and our fundraisers.

Our operating shortfall has been $25,000 to $30,000 per year. We have not gained ground to become financially stable; therefore, we have had to make a difficult decision to do what needs to be done to ensure that we are good stewards of what has been entrusted to us and try to be fair to our staff and not leave any outstanding obligations.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

OPINION

Making sure to appreciate our seniors With Seniors’ Week upon us, it’s time to pay particular tribute to this segment of the population that deserves our respect and support.

Seniors’ Week is from June 6-12th and this year marks the 30th anniversary of the week itself.

Seniors make a difference in our communities every day. From supporting family members and friends to assisting charities and volunteering, seniors are deeply involved in our communities and their contributions benefit Albertans of all ages.

They have much too offer local agencies, and individuals as well – too often seniors hold back from getting too involved when in fact they have much to give from their many years of life experience.

Each year, Albertans are encouraged to join the festivities by attending one of the many Seniors’ Week events to be held across the province. Whether planning an

event or enjoying one with the seniors in your life, take the time to acknowledge Alberta’s seniors and all that they contribute to our quality of life.

It’s sad to see that many seniors seem to live on the margins of society – their families, for whatever reason, almost forget about them and they are left alone to largely fend for themselves. It can be a very lonely, vulnerable time and it’s horrible to think that many seniors face this reality in their so-called ‘golden’ years and after giving so much of themselves over the years.

In other cultures, seniors are held to a very high regard and treated with respect – something we can and should definitely think about – to have a greater sense of patience, understanding and empathy – after all, we are all going to be there some day.

Of course, as with any age group, not every senior is completely sweet and innocent – but beyond that the abuse of

seniors seems to be a growing issue these days, whether it be physical, emotional, financial or otherwise.

It’s also important to keep in mind that the population of seniors is growing in Alberta – by 2031, when the last of the baby boomers reach 65 years of age, it’s projected that there will be more than 923,000 seniors – meaning that about one in five Albertans will be a senior. An aging population will have lasting economic and social implications for our province, leading to opportunities and challenges across a wide range of areas.

Responding to these opportunities and challenges will require the involvement of a variety of partners in areas such as finance, transportation, housing, health, infrastructure, municipal affairs, community services, public safety and others.

Locally, there are several activities going on around the community to help folks celebrate Seniors’ Week.

On June 8th, there will be a roaring 20s event at the Golden Circle - tickets are $8. Enjoy a ham lunch followed by a 20s fashion show. Tickets are pre-sold only at the Golden Circle.

On June 9th, there will be a Victorian Tea at the Golden Circle as well. Enjoy finger sandwiches and cookies, tea tasting, tea leaf reading, and horse racing - all in Victorian style.

Games begin at 1 p.m. with the tea set for 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 each at the Golden Circle.

On June 10th there is a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Alberta Council on Aging at the Golden Circle.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and costs $2 per person. Also on June 10th, there will be a medieval dinner - doors open at 5:30 p.m. with the festivities to begin at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $30 and the event will be held at the Golden Circle.

Summer student excited to explore opportunities Every day marks a new chapter in history because each moment that passes by, a human is born, a war is fought, or a life is lost and to be a person honoured with capturing these moments as they happen, is who I strive to be each day.

Greetings, my name is Cyril Brabant, a 20-yearold post secondary student from Calgary.

With a tablespoon of luck, a dash of hard work and a ton of help, I can also say that I am a summer reporter for the Red Deer Express.

In all honesty, it’s a bit awkward to be talking about myself candidly so I’m just going to dive right in and give you the lowdown on myself.

I’m not very good at talking about myself in

Cyril

BRABANT length, so I’ll start off with a couple of fun-facts about myself.

I love spaghetti.

I’m good at holding the door open for the person behind me.

When I was younger, I was dead-set on becoming an American Idol winner, a marine biologist, or an astronaught-musician that played music for sick alien children (don’t get me wrong, if the opportunity arises for me to be-

come any of the previously mentioned, I’m there in a heartbeat).

I dislike pretzels in trailmix and I’m not very fond of geese (those birds are a menace during mating season).

Winter is my favourite season. Now, before you pull out the pitchforks and torches, winter is the best because of snowballs, Christmas, oversized sweaters, and, best of all, no-sweaty pits in your face whilst taking public transit. Need I say more?

Now enough about my likes or dislikes, let’s move onto my background in journalism.

At three years old I immigrated to Calgary from Cagayan De Oro, Philippines with my mother and reunited with my father.

When I was a child, I was as rambunctious as children are, but I loved singing. I particularly enjoyed the musical stylings of Whitney Houston, The Backstreet Boys, and the Pokémon themesong.

After high school, I struggled with figuring out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I took a gap-year to work, save, and figure it all out.

In 2015, I came to the conclusion that, because I love writing, talking to people, and writing about people I’ve talked to, journalism seemed like a no-brainer.

And so began my studies at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT).

To my delight, the course also offered a photojournalism major. The cours-

es at SAIT are specifically constructed to prepare the students with practical skills that are applicable to real-life scenarios in the workplace and as such, I got my first DSLR camera for the course and decided to work hard and claim one of the 16 seats available for the photojournalism major that SAIT offers.

Though there was a high number of other applicants, all fierce competition, I managed to grab a seat for myself and I look forward to this upcoming semester.

Although, as I did more research on the course itself, I came to realize the importance of journalism and how much it affects the world.

My ultimate goal in life is to become a photojour-

nalist. I’d like to travel the world and capture the world as it is during my time on planet earth.

I believe that being able to say ‘I was there’ during an event that changed the world or given the opportunity to present a moment in history to a world that was watching gives me a reason to become a better journalist and to hone my skills as a photographer.

As my ethics instructor, Walter Nagel, said during a lecture, “Journalists are the eyes and ears of the world.

“They are at the frontlines of history, capturing and documenting moments of paramount as they happen right before our eyes.” student@reddeerexpress.com

RED DEER EXPRESS 7

Information on the Climate Leadership Plan On May 24th our government announced the implementation of our Climate Leadership Plan. As a resident of Red Deer and as a long-time health care worker, I am excited about the direction that this plan sets for our province.

As anybody who lives and works in Red Deer knows, we have a beautiful City, filled with running and walking trails and many opportunities to get outside and get active.

Unfortunately, we also have the distinction of having the worst ambient air quality of any community in Alberta. Since 2009 industrial activity and vehicle emissions have pushed the levels of ozone and fine particulate matter above national standards.

Studies such as ‘A Costly Diagnosis: Subsidizing coal power with Albertans’ health’, released in 2013, establish the connection between air borne pollutants and health problems. Physicians have long called for a reduction in our coal-fired electricity generation as a major source of pollutants.

It is not something we can ignore. As a government, we are committed to phasing out coal-fired electricity generation and of moving our whole economy and environment into a cleaner and more sustainable model. The Climate Leadership Plan does this, and it does it in a way that benefits everyone. The main tool we’re using to move us forward

Kim

SCHREINER is the carbon levy, a price on pollution.

We know that opposition parties call the carbon levy bad for the economy and a burden on families. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. The truth is that the carbon levy will benefit the economy and every family in Alberta. Here’s how: • The levy is based on a user-pay system. The more you pollute, the more you pay. The less you pollute, the less you pay.

• The levy is attached to the price of carbon-based goods, so no one will pay directly out of pocket.

• Six out of 10 Alberta families will receive a full or partial rebate of the carbon levy. This rebate will be issued before the carbon levy is implemented, so families will receive cash in hand to help offset the costs before the costs come into effect.

• Remaining revenue will be injected directly back into the economy, creating jobs, spurring investment in new technologies, and helping everyone from families to businesses to charities lessen their carbon and pollution footprint, saving them money in the long run and de-

creasing the amount of pollution in the air that affects everyone.

Up until this plan was announced, Alberta was the only province in Canada without a provincial strategy to improve the energy efficiency of our homes, workplaces and public buildings. That is not leadership. This plan will create a new, lean agency called Energy Efficiency Alberta with a specific goal of helping everyone, including commu-

nity groups, families, businesses and municipalities reduce their energy costs and their emissions. I’m proud of the City of Red Deer for the work that it is already undertaking to reduce its emissions. It is expanding public transit options and sourcing 30% of its energy from environmentally friendly providers. I’m also proud of the work being done by local businesses and individuals to move forward and decrease the amount of

pollution and carbon they release. Our government is committed to standing side-by-side with the forward-thinking people and businesses of Alberta as we move ahead to build a greener, healthier province and a more diversified sustainable economy.

We know that the world is changing.

Climate change and carbon emissions are now on the agenda of international discussions that include every major economy in the

world. We want a robust and competitive energy industry in Alberta that is not hampered from reaching more customers and markets because of a poor provincial environmental record. We are working with industry, environmentalists and Indigenous communities. Together, we will make Alberta a great place to live, economically and environmentally, for generations to come.

POLICE TARGET IMPAIRED DRIVERS Red Deer RCMP arrested four impaired drivers during Operation Impact check stops and roving patrols on the May long weekend.

In a two-hour check stop the evening of May 21st, RCMP checked more than 300 vehicles – including two that police intercepted as the vehicles attempted to avoid the check stop – and tested seven drivers for impairment; two drivers were issued warnings as they were just below the threshold for having their license suspended and their vehicles impounded for three days.

RCMP also located and arrested four impaired drivers during police patrols, one as the result of a collision: the female driver in that collision registered a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit.

As well as the long weekend

check stops, Red Deer RCMP have been busy enforcing traffic laws in accordance with policing priorities identified by the City of Red Deer and the Red Deer RCMP in the Annual Policing Plan.

On May 17th, RCMP conducted a distracted driving and seat belt campaign in the construction zone on 30th Ave. south of Clearview.

Police set up with a handheld laser and then stopped violators and ticketed them on the spot. In the span of one hour, 12 drivers were ticketed – two received multiple tickets for driving without a seat-belt while talking on their cell phone.

On May 18th, RCMP conducted a speed campaign targeting west bound traffic on 67 St. Again, RCMP set up with a hand-held laser and issued tickets on the spot to violators.

In the space of an hour and a half, police ticketed 20 drivers; of those, four were driving in excess of 100 km/hour in a 70 km/hour zone. Police also issued two seat-belt tickets and two distracted driving tickets during this operation.

RCMP target high-risk driving behaviours year-round with revolving check stops and other traffic campaigns.

You can report suspected impaired or high-risk drivers by calling 911 when it is safe to do so, and reporting the vehicle description, license plate, direction of travel and a description of the driver.

Farmers’ market move successful so far

BY CYRIL BRABANT RED DEER EXPRESS

year looking for a place to move (the market) to and this (the Memorial Centre) was the most suitable and the nicest.”

When asked about his personal feelings on moving the iconic market Moffat said that it was an exciting change and he hopes that he can keep it a happy, practical and working place.

“We welcome everybody and although we’re a little cramped on space, we try to accommodate everybody and make everybody happy.” student@reddeerexpress.com

As the farmers’ market has been in their new location at the Memorial Centre for the last two weeks, organizers say it has been successful so far.

Dennis Moffat, a Red Deer resident since 1965, opened the Market at Red Deer as a small collection of 12 vendors in 1970 and has since been managing the market to this day. For years Moffat has managed dozens of vendors from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays each season.

“The market started off small,” Moffat said. “But eventually it grew into what it is today and now we have something like 200 vendors.”

Although the market is only open for four hours on a single day of the week, Moffat said the vendors attract anywhere from 9,000 to 16,000 visitors within that time.

As the City plans on hosting the 2019 Canada Winter Games, the current Red Deer Arena is being rebuilt which is reason the market was moved.

Originally built in 1952, the Arena parking lot has been

the home to the farmers’ market since it first opened its stalls.

Despite having to re-locate, Moffat still held high hopes for the beginning of the season.

“It was our first week and I was dreading it, but it went well,” Moffat said, of the opening weekend on May long.

“It was a great start to a new season.”

With the new and unfamiliar territory of the relocation, some have found issue with parking availability but Moffat assures there is enough parking spaces to accommodate all that wish to visit the market.

“We have more parking here than we did at the old location because we can park behind the Memorial Centre and we can use the parking for the Memorial Centre as well,” said Moffat.

In addition to the parking provided by the memorial centre, Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School that sits directly across from the Memorial Centre, also offers it’s parking lot for a fee to help raise funds for its student council.

“I’ve looked all over,” Moffat said. ” I’ve spent the last

RED DEER EXPRESS 15

History of the Kerry Wood Nature Centre This year marks an important anniversary in our City’s history.

It was 30 years ago, in August 1986, that the Kerry Wood Nature Centre officially opened.

The KWNC is many things to Red Deer – a highly popular community and educational centre, the gateway to a unique wilderness area in the heart of an urban centre and a fitting tribute to one of Alberta’s most accomplished naturalists and writers.

The recorded history of the site goes back 130 years.

In the fall of 1885, John Jost Gaetz and his mother, Catherine Gaetz, took out adjoining homesteads on the northeast side of Red Deer. There were two beautiful small oxbow lakes on their land.

The Gaetz’s had a strong appreciation for nature.

They made a decision to neither cultivate nor log the woods and wetlands surrounding the lakes.

They also welcomed others to enjoy the area and to use it as a place for recreation and enjoyment of unspoiled nature.

The Alberta Natural History Society was formed in Central Alberta after the turn of the last century. The ‘Gaetz Lakes’ became one of their favourite spots for excursions.

In the spring of 1922, the Society asked J.J. Gaetz to consider designating the west half of Section 22 as a bird sanctuary. He readily agreed.

Consequently, in June 1924, the land surrounding the Gaetz Lakes was officially designated as a Dominion Bird Sanctuary.

It was the first place in Alberta to get such as designation.

The killing, hunting, cap-

Michael

DAWE turing, injuring, destroying and/or molesting of migratory and game birds was expressly prohibited by the federal government.

One person who worked particularly hard to maintain and protect the Sanctuary was Edgar ‘Kerry’ Wood. He had been born in New York City on June 2nd, 1907 (i.e. 109 years ago tomorrow).

However, he had quickly made Red Deer and its natural surroundings his beloved home as soon as he moved here with his family in 1918.

Although Wood was still very young, he was appointed as a Dominion Migratory Bird Officer to help give some authority to his work in the protected area.

In June 1950, a party of City workmen left a fire unattended. It quickly spread into the Sanctuary.

A group of volunteers, led by Wood, successfully fought to bring the blaze under control and to save the Sanctuary’s woods from destruction.

The incident made it clear that new and more stringent legal protections were needed.

Wood wrote a popular book, The Sanctuary, to publicize the incredible value of the site. Consequently, the provincial government was persuaded to designate the area as a provincial wildlife park.

Nevertheless, the threats continued.

In 1966, there was a proposal to turn the Sanctuary

HISTORY - Marjorie and Kerry Wood with son Greg, daughter-in-law Minnie, and daughter Rondo with grandchildren Wendy, Mindy and William in front. into an amusement park.

Fortunately, a sustained public outcry killed the plans. In the early 1970s, a poorly maintained storm sewer created a large gully that caused heavy silting into the Second Gaetz Lake. Again, a public outcry led to attempts to control the damage.

In the early 1980s, comprehensive plans were made to include the area in the new Waskasoo Park.

The Sanctuary was permanently designated as a nature preserve and wilderness area.

The Waskasoo Park planners felt that public education remained one of the best means of ensuring the survival of the Sanctuary in its natural state.

Hence, a series of walking trails were carefully constructed around the outer portions of the park.

Moreover, a natural history interpretive centre was constructed on an old

Kerry Wood Nature Centre photo

hayfield on the north end of the First Gaetz Lake.

There was no hesitation in naming the interpretive centre after Kerry Wood, as a fitting recognition of all of his work in saving the Sanctuary and educating the public about the

enormous value of natural areas.

Today, the KWNC provides the public with information about the Sanctuary and the natural history of the region.

It also provides a central control point of ac-

cess into the main part of the Sanctuary. The Centre is easily one of the most popular public facilities in Red Deer and across Central Alberta. It also provides a tremendous legacy for Red Deer and for many generations to come.

CITY BRIEFS COUNCIL LOOKS AT ZONE TIME CHANGES City council has given first reading to a Traffic Bylaw amendment that would simplify the times of school and playground zones in Red Deer.

Currently there are school zones, playground zones, combination zones (school and playground on same site), and playground areas.

The proposed change incorporates the combination zones into the playground zone category. This will result in two school zones, 86 playground zones and eight playground areas in Red Deer. “The new playground zones will be in effect from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.,� said Wayne Gustafson, engineering services manager. “This will eliminate the confusion of multiple changes of speeds in the current combination zones.�

The two school zones in the community will be in effect from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on school days. The speed limit for both school and playground zones would remain 30 km/hr.

The amendment is being brought forward to ensure the time zones are easy for motorists to remember while maximizing public safety in those areas. “One of the reasons we’re suggesting this change is to alleviate driver confusion when there are both school zones and playground zones in the same area,� said Gustafson. “We want to ensure that motorists know when and

Share Your Vision and Choose Your Plan

by Mark Weber

where to slow down and that they don’t have to read two signs to do that.�

The signage would be updated to reflect the changes including clear indicators of the time that the zones are in effect. As well, The City would remove 50 km/h signs at the end of each zone and replace them with “end school zone� and “end playground zone� signs.

A playground area is indicated by a yellow playground sign that alerts drivers that a playground is nearby and to be cautious of children in the area. A playground zone has a black and white 30 km/h sign attached to the yellow playground sign. The law requires a speed limit of 30 km/h in playground zones.

The amendment will go back to council on June 20th for consideration of second and final reading.

SAFE KIDS WEEK The 20th annual Parachute Safe Kids Week is being celebrated in Red Deer and across Canada from May 30th-June 5th. Parachute Safe Kids Week is a public awareness campaign highlighting preventable injury in children.

During the past 20 years, the number of preventable injuries and deaths among Canadian children has been on the decline. A decade ago, 390 children aged 14 and under died from preventable injuries. Today, that number has been lowered to an average 241 children per year.

Parachute, Canada’s national injury preven-

Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw Review

tion organization, is celebrating the positive strides while acknowledging more work still needs to be done. Every nine hours a child’s life is cut short by a preventable injury in Canada. “We want kids to get outside and be active, but we want them to do it safely,� said Louise Logan, Parachute president and CEO. “The trend for preventable injuries among children tells us that we can decrease injury and death by continuing to make safety a top priority at home, at play, and on the road.�

Closer to home, Safe Communities Central Alberta and Red Deer Safety City are focusing their efforts during Safe Kids Week on reducing road injuries, offering information on bicycle safety and helmet use for youth and distracted driving presentations to high school students.

PAMZ BLUES SKIES AWARDS LUNCHEON The Parkland Airshed Management Zone (PAMZ) will be holding the Blue Skies Awards luncheon on June 8th from noon to 1:30 p.m. (doors open at 11:30 a.m.) in the Palermo Room, Sheraton Red Deer Hotel.

TRAVEL

Feed your travel bug - enjoy a Canadian cruise line Is your travel bug chomping at the bit for some adventure, but the Canadian dollar has him looking elsewhere and he does not know where to go? Feed your starving travel bug a no guilt meal by traveling on the St. Lawrence right here in Canada!

Clouded by a dollar at par allowed me to forget about the Canadian cruising lines that functions fully on the Canadian dollar by traveling solely within Canada. As I search for the next trip to take without breaking the bank, I stumble on the St. Lawrence Cruiseline. With 36 years of experience, featured in Canadian and National Geographic, it has been labelled as the ‘Top 500 Trips in the World to Take’,

by National Geographic. I sit here and think, why not give this a whirl!

The Canadian Empress is a replica steamboat with 32 staterooms and three room categories. Four of these staterooms have double beds. The remainder are double/single occupancy with twins. The rooms are filled with all the conveniences to make your trip have the luxury feel you desire. I would suggest booking early to save disappointment with bed configuration. The boat’s décor creates an atmosphere of heritage dating back to the turn of the century, more specifically 1908.

Pair the beauty of your heritage home for seven days with the Canadian itineraries that offer authentic cuisine and history it just makes sense. You will no longer have to worry about any exchanges in currency while on board.

After reviewing the cruise fare, inclusions are comparable to other lines. With the exception of the bar menu, gratuities, and disembarkation transfers, they’ve included everything.

They provide solid excursions to all the landmarks and more mentioned below. There is absolutely no worry about ever being bored or having no idea what to take on at each port. They

The accommodations, and all of your handmade, gourmet meals are included. Have a food allergy or intolerance, it is no problem for the family-owned and operated company.

Kingston being the home port for this dream boat, opens the waterways to find the 1,000 islands, and major ports like Quebec City and Ottawa.

Numerous itineraries can be completed on a reverse as well.

Step back in time on the St. Lawrence seaway by stopping in heritage villages along the way. Why not visit the Second Fort Wellington (Prescott).

This National Historical Site is a major tourist attraction in the area dating back to 1833.

Brockville Museum (Brockville) is a house with historical value and a historical landmark dating back to the late 1700s, the Corillon Lock, Fur Trade Museum (Montreal Island) dating back to 1803 will give way to education on the fur trade industry. The Smyth’s Apple Orchard (Dundela) taking you back into the mid-1800s is another port attraction. Finally, what can I say about Quebec City? Wow! I could visit that City numerous times in a lifetime. My favourite if I had to choose, would be finding the cannonball in that tree again, lo-

cated in Old Quebec! The City is beyond amazing and one of my favourites in Canada. These sites are just a few National Historical Sites and Landmarks to open the eyes to history that has been delicately handled and preserved.

Easy on the eyes as you sit back on the top deck overlooking the historical villages you just visited as you sail away to the next port. What excellent adventure.

For some reason a direct flight into Ottawa to do a seven day reversal for $600 plus cruise fare in Canadian dollars seems okay with me. Did I mention they have summer deals for July and August? Take away the lineups at the airport for inter-

national flights, the easy three hour domestic flight to our nation’s capital, and spending in the Canadian dollar just makes sense. Drenched in history, and with the company’s experience, I know I’ll have the time of my life. Great service and itinerary is paramount to me. Judging by the reviews, they do not fail. They care. Small boat sailing with personalized service while visiting endearing ports means that I get to feed my starving travel bug inside and go somewhere that is new, refreshing, and a step back in time.

ENTERTAINMENT Repartee performs at Bo’s on June 7th

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS When vocalist Meg Warren moved on from singing in the classical vein and wanted to craft her own music, a powerful new source of shimmering pop was launched in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

The result is Repartee, who released their debut CD, All Lit Up, this past April.

They perform June 7th at Bo’s Bar and Grill.

Fuelled by catchy melodies, fantastic production and sharp songwriting, All Lit Up is a blend of personal tracks about life experiences, resonating with the band’s live energy and visual presentation.

The CD is, for certain, aptly named - virtually every song shines with an innate luminosity.

From the absolutely irresistible opening title track to Die B4 You, there is a immaculate production quality to these bright, sunny but very textured tunes.

Their style is reminiscent of the finest the glitzy decade of the 80s had to offer musically, but there is a richness and modern edge there as well.

Miracle reflects that sophisticated approach to crafting a tune - from top to bottom, the production is meticulous, the instrumentation superb and of course Warren’s stellar voice glides over it all with charm and expression. Indeed - it’s almost the perfect pop package.

“In general, we like to think that we’ve grown as a lot as writers, producers, players,” Warren said.

“While many of the songs pull from different influences and inspirations, I feel like this album is more cohesive than our last recordings. I’m super proud of where we are and how far we’ve come together.”

After enlisting the talents of some of Newfoundland’s greatest rock and pop musicians (guitarist Robbie Brett, drummer Nick Coultas-Clarke and keyboardist Josh Banfield), Repartee went from playing the bars of their home province, to sharing the stage with the likes of LIGHTS, Tegan and Sara, Dragonette, Arkells and more.

“We began touring in 2011 and that’s really what I consider to be the official start of the band,” she said. “That’s when our first record came out and we began touring and all of that.”

As for All Lit Up, Warren explained that the project was a wrap but once they went from being a band on their own to being under the cover of a label, executives wanted a re-recording of the tunes.

LUMINOUS - On the heels of their latest release All Lit Up, Repartee performs June 7th at Bo’s Bar and Grill.

“We trusted the team, so when they suggested re-recording everything - it was initially difficult for us to wrap our minds around it. But because it was coming from them, and from a place of knowing they really believed in the band and in the songs, we wanted to put our best foot forward.

“They wanted the production quality to be as good as it possibly could be.”

For Warren, classical vocal training proceeded any dreams about making it big in the pop world. Before that, music was indeed a part of family life with both of her parents performing in a local town band.

There was also lots of involvement in church choirs, community choirs and music festivals, too.

Eventually, Warren had her sights set on a career as an opera singer.

“I loved performing growing up, and I would perform as much as possible.” There were distinct influences that she was tuning into as well during those years, including pop singer Gwen Stefani, who Warren said

continues to show such a fabulous range and versatility with her voice.

As for Warren, her own journey continued to take shape in those earlier years - she took part in a local challenge to write and record a single album in just one month - and over the years, she opted to pursue a more pop-oriented course artistically.

“I definitely always had an interest in pop,” she added, noting that when she started writing her own music it was kind of all over the place stylistically. But with the addition of the others in the band, a distinct style did indeed begin to crystallize.

“I found that the more people that were added, the more the direction of the band became concise.”

Listening to the tunes today, there is no question they have indeed found their niche.

And that classical training has provided a solid foundation to her vocal prowess today.

“It took me a long time to figure out how to sing this way,” she explained. “I find the

technique is very different although there is some cross-over. I’m lucky in the sense that I know how to take care of my voice,” she said, pointing to such technical aspects as voice control and proper breathing. “It’s nice to have that background because I feel like I’m approaching it from more of a healthier way.

“I also think I’m more secure in my singing than I was before. I have a little bit more confidence and I’m not necessarily trying to pull from a lot of other singers now like I was before.”

Meanwhile, the band has been experiencing a remarkable level of success over the years - they have won five MusicNL Awards and in 2013 they were nominated for an East Coast Music Award for Rising Star Recording of the Year, performing at the 2013 ECMA Gala.

In the last few years, the band has toured nationally and spent time writing new material which received placements in MTV’s Awkward, Finding Carter and Becoming Us. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Cornerstone Youth Theatre gears up for Treasure Island

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS

“Treasure Island is traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, and is noted for its atmosphere, characters and action.”

DeGraff said that ‘coming of age’ element is part of what contributes to the play’s enduring appeal.

“It’s mysterious and there is danger, but in the end everything works out.

“The costumes are also going to be great, and we got this ship on stage and palm trees - that whole aesthetic - so that’s a lot of fun as well.”

Ultimately, putting these shows together is also dependent on a faithful contingent of volunteers, including family members of the young actors. “Our parents are amazing - they’ve put in so much work. There are spectacular sets and costumes and refreshments and souvenirs - all of that. We have a parent committee that does our publicity - it’s

For DeGraff, each new play brings its own sense of fulfillment.

“My favourite thing is to watch our students perform on stage and see the joy that they have and see the growth they achieve - that makes it all worth it to me,” she said.

Looking ahead, Cornerstone Youth Theatre will also be hosting musical theater summer day camps offered in several locations around the Red Deer area. Staff includes professionals from the steering committee and alumni students as well.

Team competitions, rotations through daily drama, dance, music, and craft workshops, a daily theme-related devotional, and an impressive concluding showcase for family and friends are what summer day camps are all about.

“This will be our third summer doing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. It’s such a great show with a really broad appeal,” she said. “It’s also one of those shows that a lot of people are familiar with.”

Cornerstone Youth Theatre has never been wary of putting fresh, engaging spins on classic productions, and that winning formula is set to continue with their production of Treasure Island.

According to a release, excitement runs high in this musical adaptation of a favorite childhood adventure story.

“Robert Louis Stevenson’s thrilling tale of pirates, treasure maps, mutiny on the high seas and pieces of eight follows Jim Hawkins, an ordinary youth drawn into a dangerous race for buried treasure against the treacherous Long John Silver.”

As the author himself wrote, ‘If this don’t fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day’.”

Evening performances are at 7 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays June 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th at New Life Fellowship Church.

Matinees are at 3 p.m. on Saturdays, June 4th and 11th.

Reserved seating is available with advance purchase - children - $10; seniors $11 and adults - $12. All tickets purchased at the door are $14.

There is also a discount matinee on June 4th with all seats $10 at 3 p.m.

As to Treasure Island, this Broadway style production that Cornerstone is taking on is full of buccaneers and buried gold.

Director Laura DeGraff said the production features 65 of Central Alberta’s most talented young performers and is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

“I always start with the script,” she explains of approaching a given show. The

particular adaptation she chose adds a few characters here and there, but essentially the heart of the story is indeed there. “We’ve kind of put our own spin on some things, just to give it kind of our own unique flair.

“It’s so much fun - it honestly is,” she added of the process of shaping the production. “It’s a lot of work, a lot to organize and to keep everyone on track, but it’s a lot of fun and I really like working with all of the kids at Cornerstone.

“They’re all excited and working so hard to make the show great, too.

“That’s one of my favourite things with directing, teaching and working with Cornerstone in general is just to see the growth and the improvement that the students have.”

According to Wikipedia, “Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of ‘buccaneers and buried gold’.

“It was originally serialized in the children’s magazine Young Folks between 1881 through 1882 under the title Treasure Island, or the Mutiny of the Hispaniola, credited to the pseudonym ‘Captain George North’. It was first published as a book in November of 1883.

City and Colour brings tour to Red Deer

BY ERIN FAWCETT RED DEER EXPRESS Dallas Green of City and Colour is set to make a Red Deer stop on his current tour.

City and Colour plays the Centrium June 6th.

The tour, in support of Green’s latest album If I Should Go Before You, kicked off in Kelowna earlier this month. Supporting City and Colour on the tour is Austin’s Shakey Graves.

This is the first major national tour since 2014, which saw City and Colour headline Green’s biggest venues to date including a sold-out show at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

If I Should Go Before You recently debuted at number one in Canada which marked City and Colour’s third consecutive chart-topper.

In the U.S. the LP debuted at number 16 on the Billboard 200 chart, number three on the Vinyl Albums Chart, number four on the Independent Albums Chart and number five in Australia.

In addition to widespread commercial success, the album continues to receive notable critical acclaim.

The A.V. Club calls the album ‘alluring’ and ‘breathtaking,’ while AllMusic praises, “A culmination of the sturdy pop sound he’s built up over the years that weaves through territories of dreamy indie folk, pastoral Americana, and soulful alt-rock.”

Additionally, Paste Magazine describes the single, Lover Come Back, as “A gorgeous, R&B-tinged torch song split evenly between joyous, earnest affection and yearning, lovesick sadness.”

If I Should Go Before You is Green’s fifth release as City and Colour and follows 2013’s The Hurry and The Harm. Most recently, in 2014, Green collaborated with international superstar Alecia Moore (aka P!nk) on a new project, entitled You+Me. The duo’s acclaimed debut, rose ave., debuted at number four on the U.S. Top 200 Chart, number one in Canada, number two in Australia and number six in Germany.

“As a songwriter and a performer too you’re always trying to find the perfect , MARCH EDNESDAY

song or the perfect show, but neither of those are actually attainable. The whole point is always trying to outdo yourself or find a new way to approach it and always striving to get better,” said Green, adding he is looking forward to being on tour. “As

much as it’s sort of a glamorized way of living, it is like life - there are good days and bad days. The good days are really that good and the bad days really aren’t that bad.

“Sometimes when I come off stage,

for the first 20 minutes I never want to play again because I feel like I have let everyone down and myself down. I want it to be this magical night every night but it’s not going to be and sometimes when it doesn’t happen, it really gets you down. But then you realize you have another chance to go up and hopefully experience something like that and to me that is what keeps you going - the search for that moment where everything feels perfect and it truly feels like you are meant to be doing that. That is what I look for and that is what makes me really happy.”

Meanwhile, Green started guitar lessons when he was eight or nine years old.

“My parents wanted to throw us into a bunch of different stuff when we were young because they could and they wanted to see if anything stuck. The first few years I didn’t actually really like the lessons. I didn’t do very well with the theory but something about it stuck with me and once I started to learn how to listen to my favourite songs and play along to them, I think that is what sparked the fire in me,” he said.

“I started singing along and from that experience and playing music, it started to give me an idea of how the songs were put together in regards to verses and choruses. In high school I started to write my own music and that was it.”

For new material, Green said he draws from life experience.

“I guess for me I’ve always written about love, life and death. It’s about living and experiencing things and then I try to wrap my head around it and sing about it.”

Green added he is looking forward to coming to Red Deer. “I love being on tour and I’m lucky to have a wonderful group of people with me - my band and my crew. I love the camaraderie.”

As part of the tour, City and Colour added 100 tickets to each show that will be sold for $20 with proceeds going to the Red Cross for those affected by the Fort McMurray fires.

Tickets for the show are available at Ticketmaster. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

RED DEER EXPRESS 23

LIFESTYLE Some pretty amazing stories of awesomeness I had the exceptional privilege of running at the Woody’s Marathon on May 22nd, and the stories on the day were so inspiring and amazing, I can hardly wipe the smile off my face!

Yes, it was pouring rain, super windy, and a whole +3C degrees - so there’s that - but I didn’t hear much for complaining for what I think are a few reasons. Number one, we really needed the rain, and we are all praying it heads north to Fort Mac and puts out all the fires for good, washes away the soot and dust and lets people come home to safety. Number two, runners are not really the whining type by nature - the longer you run, the more that is distilled out of you somehow.

I can’t prove that, but I have seen it.

Like most things in fitness, it tends to bring out the best in people.

Volunteers - oh my gosh the volunteers! Freezing, soaked to the bone, up at dark o’clock, standing for hours and hours, smiling and cheering. Amazing!

I spoke with a mom that has two amazing kids, has been training for the half marathon and was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She ran anyway.

Live life now, beat cancer later. What an amazing inspiration and a choice to live and be amazing!

Families running, mothers and sons, father’s and daughters, etc. Short people, tall people, older people, younger people, thinner, heavier, it doesn’t matter - and it’s not about running - it’s about challenge and growth and about thinking you can’t, but then you do anyway.

Scott

McDERMOTT It’s about humans being.

Nobody asked or cared about politics, religion, what diet you followed, what workout plan was perfect, what music was best. Nobody cared what you wore – lots of runners had garbage bags on to try and stay dry. The best of people get to the line, thank the volunteers, help each other win on whatever terms you hold dear.

For me the journey was deeply personal and emotional. It as my first race back almost five months to the day since my near death crash on Nov. 28th.

I spent most of the run smiling, and a few moments crying as the gravity of the gift and pure joy of running hit me like a wave.

The gratitude for the people that saved my life, for my family that supported me through months of really tough times, for my staff that shoulder extra load while I got back on my feet.

In December one of the ladies I coach asked if I was going to go ahead with the annual run clinic in 2016. I said I wanted to, but wasn’t sure I could.

I could only stay awake for 1.5 hours at a time, I couldn’t drive, I had trouble thinking clearly and remembering things. I was dizzy all the time. She offered to put out the run turnaround signs at 7 a.m.,

then swing by the house and pick me up and bring me to the gym to coach. A few other runners offered the same, and pretty soon we had a team.

The first lecture, I didn’t think I was going to make it, I was starting to slur my words, forget stuff, and I was so tired. But the group smiled and en-

couraged, and I made it through. Then I went for my first run. Four weeks and one day since a seven hour surgery to rebuild my arm and shoulder and remove metal staples from my skull. I ran gently for one minute, then walked for a minute and did that for 12 minutes with some amazing ladies

that were learning to run.

I was re-learning to run with their help. My arm was velcroed to my chest and it hurt like heck, but I did it. Pretty soon 12 minutes became 20, then 45, then 10kms became 15kms and beyond. Today was a victory for all of my friends, my family and those who helped me

through this journey.

I share this, because I hope it will inspire you to try something new.

Something that might be ‘too hard’, all you need are a couple of friends and a goal. You’ve got this.

Guarding against a devastating telephone call What should parents fear most when raising children?

You could compile a list as long as your arm. But, while travelling in the U.S, I happened to read a column written by Bruce Feiler in the New York Times. The greatest fear, he claimed, should be that fateful call that a child has been killed while driving a car. So how can parents decrease this risk?

Feiler’s article reminded me of a night I’ll never forget.

I was working on a column in upper state New York. It was high school graduation time. Following one ceremony a few parents and graduates decided to celebrate. One teenage girl, a new driver, offered to drive four other girls to the event. A short time later the telephone rang. A head-on collision had killed all five girls. It’s impossible to imagine the suffering that occurred that night.

The message of Feiler’s column is to never underestimate the dangers of teenage drivers. In effect, he stressed that parents are not worried enough about these dangers.

Many may quickly conclude such tragedies are due to inexperience in driving. After all, surgeons and plumbers are more likely to run into trouble early in their career than later on.

The old adage is still true, ‘practice makes perfect’.

But studies show inexperience is not the only cause. Nichole Morris, a researcher at the

Dr. Gifford

JONES HumanFirst Laboratory at the University of Minnesota, has startling statistics that should keep parents awake.

Morris says the most hazardous years of life for children are between 16 and 17.

Not because of suicide, cancer or other accidents. The cause is driving. Morris acknowledges that cars and roads have become safer. The trouble is young drivers make fatal mistakes that should never happen.

Research figures are staggering. The American Automobile Association reports that in 2013, nearly a million teenage drivers were involved in an accident. This caused 373,645 injuries and 2,927 deaths.

Another look at these deaths by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that every day of the year six families in the U.S.A. receive a telephone call that a child has died in an automobile accident.

Why does it happen?

Inexperience does play a role.

Charlie Klauer, at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute says, “One in four children is going to be in a crash in the first six months of driving.”

Some of these accidents are due to a lack of common sense.

The use of cell phones, texting, looking at Google maps or flipping radio channels while driving violates the ‘two second rule’. Taking your eyes off the road for two seconds can kill. The longer the number of seconds the eyes leave the road, the greater the risk. This should be a no-brainer, but we all see this happening every day.

Another major hazard is

other passengers.

Research shows it’s safer to drive alone in the early months of new learner driving. Morris reports that the addition of one nonfamily passenger in a teenage driven car increases the risk of an accident by a whopping 44%! Add another friend and the risk doubles. And with three or more in a car the risk is four times greater.

Of course, a great danger is alcohol.

The Transportation Department reported that

in 2013 one-third of teenage drivers killed had been drinking. So it’s also safer to drive during the day.

Dr. Morris says handing car keys to a child is one instance where parents are careless. In effect, the more parents are involved with teenage drivers on different routes and driving conditions, the less risk of a later fatal accident.

Own a helicopter? If you do Morris says that after handing over the key it’s time to follow them down the road. They may not be

driving as safely as you think.

My thanks to Feiler for this column. I have 11 grandchildren, some starting to drive.

So I feel obliged to pass along this advice. I hope they will all listen and submerge their teenage confidence behind the wheel and pay attention. It might decrease the risk of that devastating telephone call to parents.

Fun run with proceeds to Red Deer Watershed Alliance

BY COLE SWIER RED DEER EXPRESS Instead of crafting beer, the Troubled Monk Brewery is heading to the trails this month for their first ever Troubled Monk Run. The event offers a 5km and 10km run taking place on June 18th with all the proceeds raised being directed towards the Red Deer Watershed Alliance.

Graeme Bredo is the co-owner of Troubled Monk Brewery and explained the choice to donate the funds to the Watershed Alliance is their way of giving back because without great water, they wouldn’t be able to make great beer either.

“We wanted to help out, help keep the water that we use clean, and help give back to the watershed for keeping our beer clean,” said Bredo.

He added at the end of the day the run is supposed to be a fun event encouraging people to get active. One way that the brewery is encouraging people to participate is by offering live music and beer gardens with participants rewarded with a free beer once the run is complete. Even with the alcoholic beverages being rewarded to the runners, a family-friendly approach has also been taken by offering the underage runners a homemade craft soda instead of beer. Bredo explained

it can be hard to stay motivated in the summer months but through the event he hopes to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle in conjunction with the reward of craft beer and soda.

“It’s easy to go out and drink beer on a sunny day but it’s sometimes harder to get active and get running. So we decided to mix those things together,” he said.

Bredo stressed there are many other reasons to sign up for the run because even if you’re not interested in the alcoholic beverages, the run is also a fantastic way for people to get connected with nature as well as give back to the community. He said the vast amount of beautiful scenery to be seen in the Red Deer river valley is one of the major perks of participating in the event.

“I think it offers an opportunity to get outside and do exciting things. Red Deer has one of the best river valleys and trail systems in Alberta and it’s a shame not to use it. And we have a venue that’s located right along the river valley and it’s really trying to get a chance for everyone in Red Deer to enjoy our natural beauty.”

Participants will also receive a t-shirt the day of the event, which will be included in the $40 registration fee. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the run or registering for the event check out www. troubledmonk.com. student@reddeerexpress.com

London Knights claim Memorial Cup championship

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS They were the hottest team in the Canadian Hockey League coming into the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup tournament. Now, 10 days later, the London Knights are the Memorial Cup champions.

The Knights capped off an incredible 17 game winning streak that dated back to the second round of the Ontario Hockey League playoffs Sunday evening defeating the QMJHL Champion Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 3-2 in overtime to claim their second Memorial Cup since 2005.

“It’s one of those things, it’s hard to get.

It takes a lot of time and I’m just happy for the boys, they earned it all year. To win 17 in a row in playoff time, in this tournament, you’re playing the best, it’s unheard of,” said Knights’ Head Coach/GM Dale Hunter after the dramatic conclusion to the game.

Led by the dominant line of Mitch Marner, Matthew Tkachuck and Christian Dvorak, the Knights cruised to the bye into the final during round robin play, posting a 3-0 record that included a 6-2 win over the Red Deer Rebels, a 9-1 trouncing of the Brandon Wheat Kings and a slightly closer 5-2 victory over the Huskies earlier in the week.

But the Huskies weren’t going to go down without a fight in the final, as they fought the Knights every step of the way, holding them scoreless in the first period before taking a one goal lead halfway through the third that put London behind for the first time in the tournament.

The Knights, though, would not be denied.

“You’ve just got to keep the same mindset. Being down in the third period and coming back we knew what we had to do - bear down. It’s our last game of the season and leave everything on the line,” said Knights’ goalie Tyler Parsons.

Parsons was somewhat of an unsung hero for the Knights during the tournament, leading all four goalies with a 1.78 goals against average and a .942 save percentage to earn himself the Hap Emms Memorial Trophy as the Most Outstanding Goaltender at the Memorial Cup. Parsons’ showstopping performance on the London end of the ice gave his team a chance to make a comeback from the 2-1 deficit.

And come back they did, as Dvorak scored his seventh goal of the tourna-

CHAMPIONS - From left, London Knights’ co-captains Mitchell Marner and Christian Dvorak hoisted the Memorial Cup over their heads after the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup final game at the ENMAX Centrium on Sunday. The Knights defeated the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express 3-2 in overtime to claim their second Memorial Cup in franchise history. ment with just five minutes remaining in the third to send the contest into overtime.

“We had the momentum on our side, getting that last minute goal there - we knew what we had to do. It came down to one shot and if we played good defense they were going to give us offensive chances,” Parsons said.

There was only one way the game could end, and after several heart-stopping close plays on both ends, the game came down to a two on one for London, with Tkachuck rifling in the goal heard around the hockey world.

“It’s right up there with all of the accolades, all of the awards. But it’s not about my goal. It’s about the team, it’s about the win, it’s about the 17 game winning streak, it’s about the way we carried ourselves into this tournament and the

way we carried ourselves throughout this tournament,” said the 18-year-old draft eligible winger of his overtime winner.

Meanwhile, the host Red Deer Rebels were happy with their performance in the tournament overall.

“I’m proud of our players. We deserved to be in this game tonight. We had a 2-1 record and we played with this team tonight, too,” said Rebels’ Head Coach/ GM Brent Sutter after his team’s 3-1 loss to the Huskies in the semi-final game on Friday night.

After a 6-2 loss to London in the first game of the tournament, many doubted the Rebels would be able to compete with the high octane offence that the respective league champions brought to the table.

That all changed after Red Deer surged to a 5-2 win over the Huskies two nights

later and followed it up with a dramatic 2-1 overtime victory over the WHL champion Brandon Wheat Kings on Tuesday.

The second win was enough to clinch second place in the round-robin standings behind London and eliminate the winless Wheat Kings from the tournament.

It was a sweet victory for the Rebels, as their season was ended by the Wheat Kings in the WHL Eastern Conference final less than a month ago.

“I guess part of it is no one has short memories. I know that we were beaten in the semis by Brandon and rightly so.

They’ve got a very, very good hockey team. That’s the thing about this tournament, you can come in here and be a champion in your own league but if things don’t go exactly right you might not have success in it,” said Sutter.

Leyh’s cannon arm was firing as Bucs sail to win

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The Central Alberta Buccaneers took a big step towards making their presence in the Alberta Football League felt last Saturday, as they steamrolled the visiting Grande Prairie Drillers in their season opener at ME Global Athletic Park in Lacombe.

Led by new starting quarterback Brandon Leyh and newly-acquired receiver Jamal Henry, the Bucs stormed to a 51-16 victory over the Drillers in front of their home town crowd.

“A win’s good early. Grande Prairie’s always a tough team that plays physical and hits hard, so it’s a nice way to start the year for sure,” said Bucs’ Head Coach Devon Hand after the win.

The Bucs got the ball rolling early when, on the offense’s first drive of the game, Leyh hooked up with receiver Major Newman in the end zone for a quick six points.

Although the ensuing conversion kick was blocked, it was all Buccaneers from that point on, as the Bucs defense took to the field to do what they do best.

And boy did they deliver, at least in the first three quarters of the game as they stonewalled the Grande Prairie offense at nearly every turn, forcing the Drillers

into two and out drives on more than one occasion and allowing the special teams and offense the opportunity to get back on the field and score more points.

Despite the defence’s shutdown performance early in the game, Hand noted he would like to see more consistency from them late into games, especially when the offense is rolling like they were on Saturday.

“It’s a little bit concerning defensively because normally we’re a defensively-minded team, so I think when the offense put up some points early, defensively we kind of eased back a little bit, kind of put it in cruise control.”

Fortunately, though, that lack of defensive consistency wouldn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, as Leyh and the offense romped to a 40 point lead by the end of the first half.

“It was nice to see the offense get hot and score some points out of the gate early,” Hand said.

“Overall scoring points is always a positive thing.”

Much of that offense was generated by Leyh, who was making his first appearance in the pirate crew’s red and white.

The former Mount Allison University quarterback was dominant for the Bucs as he racked up 16 completions on 22 attempts

QUICK SIX - From left, Mitch Fulmek and Jesse Deering of the Grande Prairie Drillers could only watch as Major Newman of the Central Alberta Buccaneers made a jumping catch in the end zone during regular season Alberta Football League action at ME Global Athletic Park last weekend.

The Bucs rolled to a 51-16 victory.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express for a staggering 335 yards and six passing touchdowns and one TD that he took into the house himself.

“We recruited him from Mount Allison. We were able to secure him work in the area and get a great guy that is going to put us over the top,” said Hand, adding the addition of a solid starting QB has been a welcome one for the team.

“In the past we had issues with that, the quarterback position and offense, so this is new to us. We had to make sure we had the right kind of guy to get us over the top and Brandon showed tonight that he can be that guy for sure.”

During the off season, the Bucs went through some major changes in order to sure up the offensive side of the ball. Those changes

included adding Leyh at quarterback and a couple of receivers for him to throw to.

On such receiver, who had a very impressive debut on Saturday was Jamal Henry, who made some key catches early on and quickly became Leyh’s favourite target, racking up six catches for 164 yards and two TDs. “It’s the same story, just different position. We’ve been known as a defensive team for so long and the rest of the league kind of sees us as that. So we put a lot of effort into focusing on the offense and recruiting players and getting the right guys that fit,” Hand said.

They’ll need that offensive support next week as they head north to Edmonton to face off against the Fort McMurray Monarchs in a rematch of last year’s semi-final, when the Monarchs knocked the Bucs out of the playoffs.

“Fort McMurray, obviously, is going to be playing supremely motivated.

They have a deep team, they have an excellent coach and they’ll be ready to play us for sure,” Hand said.

That game goes on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Fuhr Field in Edmonton.

The Bucs are back at home on June 11th when they host the St. Albert Stars. That game kicks off at 6 p.m. at ME Global Athletic Park in Lacombe. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Kudos to the community for hosting the Memorial Cup What a ride the past week and a half has been.

The 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup has come and gone, and with it a very successful season of hockey for the Red Deer Rebels.

As a rookie sports reporter covering his first season of Major Junior hockey in Red Deer, having the opportunity to go to and report on an event as prestigious as the legendary Memorial Cup tournament has been an incredible experience.

But through all of the hustle and bustle in the media centre throughout the tournament, I kept hearing one thing from the many reporters, photographers and cameramen who filtered through the

Zachary

CORMIER Centrium last week and it is a thought that I would like to relay to you now.

Red Deer, you guys killed it.

Everyone involved in the tournament, from the many volunteers, to the organizers, the fans in the stands and the players on the ice, strove to make the tournament a resounding success and it didn’t go unnoticed.

“Right from our own or-

ganization right through to people who were the cochairs of the event, the chair people, all the volunteers, they did an outstanding job. I’m very proud how this has all worked out and I truly believe that we ran a first class event here,” said Rebels’ owner, Head Coach and General Manager Brent Sutter during his final media availability of the tournament on Friday night.

From the perspective of a reporter who spent almost 10 straight days at the Centrium, I wanted to take some time to recognize and thank all of the volunteers who worked to make my life, and the lives of those around me, easier over the course of the tournament

while we tried to file stories and photos after games.

I’d also like to recognize the fans who made the trip out to the Centrium to watch the games. The arena was packed and rocking from the moment the puck dropped on the opening game until well after Matthew Tkachuck sniped the Memorial Cup winning goal in overtime for the London Knights.

Even in games that didn’t involve the host Rebels, or any Western Hockey League team for that matter, the place was buzzing. By the time the final between the Knights and Rouyn-Noranda Huskies went into overtime, the environment was electric, with fans picking

one of the two teams and cheering for them like they were their own.

It was an amazing thing to see, hockey fans enjoying the game. Standing on the ice as London was presented with the Memorial Cup, I genuinely forgot where I was for a minute.

But even that had nothing on games that involved the Rebels.

I’ll never forget the deafening roar that went up from the hometown faithful when Evan Polei scored his overtime winner in the round-robin game against Brandon. All of the emotion that has been pent up since the Wheat Kings eliminated the Rebels in the Eastern Conference final a month

ago came out in a single moment of triumph. It was incredible.

And the send off that was given to the Rebels after a hard fought 3-1 loss to the Huskies in the semi-final.

Standing on the concourse, I could feel how proud the fans and the City are of the team that came away from the tournament of champions an even 2-2 and out-shot the QMJHL champs 37-27 in the second last game only to be thwarted by a red hot Chase Marchand.

So hold your heads high, Red Deer, because you’re going to be a tough act to follow when Windsor, Ontario holds the tourney this time next year. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Put careful thought and planning into your renovation Design is as much about function as it is about style. A house can be beautifully appointed yet the floorplan doesn’t work or not have enough space or have wasted space.

I was in a home yesterday which needed updating and some TLC but the floorplan and the space absolutely worked for my clients. It was interesting to see an older home which had usable space and room to grow as they usually have many restrictions.

We were able to devise a plan for a kitchen expansion and to use an unused bedroom for a better purpose.

The walk through from the dining room to the living room will be widened and will bring those two rooms together in a more cohesive fashion.

It was a wonderful layout and I was surprised and delighted to work with these clients on this project. When I compared it to my bungalow I found it interesting

Kim

WYSE how my layout, while similar, was not nearly as functional as this house. My kitchen layout does not work at all and the possibility of change is much more limiting than the house I had just visited.

Recently I sold a house to a lovely couple in Ponoka which had not been updated in several years.

The house had been overlooked because of some horrific paint colours (John Deere green anyone?) and this couple was able to see past the colours and were able to plan for an immediate re-paint to soften and modernize the palette. The kitchen was typical with honey oak cabinets and pinkish countertops and tile which

didn’t scare this couple one bit. They had already owned a home which they had updated and were up to the challenge.

While we were planning the items to update this house I pointed out that the kitchen could be improved in looks but not in function.

Where the kitchen was set in the home left no room for expansion and gave them no options for changes in the layout. I was careful to walk through the functionality of the kitchen advising them to make sure that they were happy with the current placement of cabinets and appliances.

Re-facing kitchen cabinets and installing new tile makes a kitchen look fine but if the configuration of the kitchen does not work all you are left with is a pretty yet poorly functioning kitchen.

When redesigning a home, it is important to look at function and usable space and not just updating colours or materials.

While it can be exciting to pick out new paint colours and accessories, it is a good idea to walk around the space with the help of a professional and recognize what parts of the layout of a certain room don’t work for your needs.

I am able to update my kitchen and make it LOOK better but without major repositioning of certain cabinets and appliances it will not function any better than it does right now.

It is one of those things that will niggle at you and make you dissatisfied with your home, even if you sink precious dollars into a renovation if you overlook the functionality of your design.

Put careful thought and planning into your renovation and regard function as well as colour when you begin dreaming about your next renovation project.

Adopting a more mature design to your home Single

White

We all arrive here at different times - the transition from young adulthood to adulthood; from ‘growing up’ to ‘grown up’.

Perhaps you’ve just moved from a university dorm into your first apartment.

Or perhaps you’ve just purchased your first home.

Either way, it’s at this point that you should be embracing your new-found role someone who gets up before 10 a.m., drinks coffee or tea, goes to work and sleeps in exclusively on Saturdays (and sometimes Sundays).

Part of this process includes transitioning the decor of your bedroom in order to reflect your newly established path.

So, without further adieu, the following is a short guide to transforming your slightly juvenile bedroom into into one fit for a full grown adult.

Because there really should be a difference

Jean-Guy

TURCOTTE between the look of your bedroom and that of your teenager’s room.

Throw pillows/the duvet effect - nothing says, “I’m an adult” like buying pillows for the express purpose of showcasing your bed as opposed to buying them for one of their more practical uses, for example using them as padding while you sleep.

But seriously, throw pillows give any bedroom a touch of maturity.

And at the end of the day, these showpieces are indeed useful for adding that extra bit of softness and comfort to any bed or couch. They’re also useful

Church Services

for pegging your spouse or children as they walk past your open bedroom door.

Just don’t expect them to take it lying down, that is, unless the pillows that you’ve tossed are really comfortable!

Additionally, get rid of that old grimy bed cover, and replace it with a duvet - it’s ultra comfortable, and it says, “I may have lots to learn about being an adult, but at least I’m not sleeping with the blankets that I used in middle school.”

Matching furniture never underestimate the power of a matching bed/ night stand combination.

This simple touch can pull together a living space like nobody’s business.

Colors are obviously important here, but style is something to consider as well. If you can, work to make sure both of these factors are taken into consideration.

Neutral colors - bright, edgy colors exude boldness. They’re out there and in small doses, they’re perfect. But too much bold is just that - too much.

Sure, go ahead and accent your space with

a splash of color (again, throw pillows work well, here) but be careful not to let your living space be taken over by a garbled rainbow of colors. Pick a scheme and stick with it.

Art in moderation - there comes a time in every person’s life when he or she must take stock of that which is on display, on their bedroom walls.

Certainly there was a time when more was better. When style or sequence didn’t matter; when, if you liked it (even a little) it went up there for everyone to see. It’s time to rethink that strategy.

Again, accent your walls with a small selection of tasteful art, art that matches the newly established maturity of a person who has left childhood behind while embracing the joy of driving, voting, having a nice glass of wine and having a family.

The book nook - as we age, it’s important for us to keep our minds sharp.

Reading is obviously a great way to stay mentally nimble, and books are a great way to decorate any living space. Build or buy

a small shelf, find a cozy chair, add a plush throw rug and away you go!

By the way, no comics or picture books here.

Stay classy - novels only.

Besides, if you collect comics, you probably already have an entire room dedicated to them, which is completely acceptable.

Honorable mention keeping it all clean.

All of this is for not if you can’t keep your bedroom space clean.

Take the time to do it right. For all you messy people out there, buy a hamper, use the hamper and (every now and again) empty the hamper into the washing machine.

You’ll find that a clean living space is a much more desirable living space, both for you and for your guests.

Now, if you are looking to buy your first place, or you need to find a property more suited to your current situation, contact me anytime.
