RED DEER EXPRESS 3

Actor Michael Berryman shares experiences of his career First ever Red Deer Comic & Entertainment Expo this weekend

BY CYRIL BRABANT RED DEER EXPRESS

M

ichael Berryman, a kind-hearted man with a face for the silver screen, talks about his life and experiences in the movie industry. He is one of the celebrity guests at this weekend’s Red Deer Comic & Entertainment Expo.

Born and raised in Santa Monica, California, Berryman grew up with a rare birth defect known as hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia which is the cause for his unique appearance. The condition is the cause for Berryman’s lack of hair, fingernails and sweat glands which make it difficult for Berryman to be out in the sun. “My father was a U.S. navy surgeon, and during World War II, was sent on a secret mission to Nagasaki and Hiroshima after they (the U.S.A.) dropped the bombs to see the effects of radiation,� Berryman said. “When he came home, he and my mother were happy to be reunited which consequently resulted in a second child, me. “I was the second born and I had a whole bunch of birth defects which is, obviously, from the radiation damage to my father from being at ground zero for an atom and hydrogen bomb.�

Though he plays the villains on movie screens, Berryman is actually avidly against aggression and violence. “I learned a lot about reality, humanity and medical situations growing up as a child,� Berryman said. “I dealt with bullying and learned what makes someone a decent person and what makes someone a tool.�

When he was older, Berryman moved out on his own and went on to university which is where his career would really begin. “I had my minor in art from university, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, but I did open up a small gift shop in Venice, California and a very famous producer walked into my shop.�

Berryman’s career first started in 1973 when the producer for the 1975 cult-classic Doc Savage, George Pal, heard wind of Berryman’s appearance from his son who was the owner of the antique shop that neighboured Berryman’s store and approached him regarding a role in the film as Juan Lopez Morales, the hidalgo’s chief coroner. “I said ‘Maybe this’ll be fun’,� Berryman said. “So I worked for two days at the estate of Herald Lloyd and I had enjoyed it so much. “Afterwards, George wrote me a letter of introduction to the Screen Actors Guild.�

After he finished filming for his role in Doc Savage and became an official mem-

CELEBRITY GUEST - Actor Michael Berryman is one of the many celebrity guests who will be at this weekend’s Red Deer Comic & Entertainment Expo. The event will be held at Westerner Park. photo submitted ber of the Screen Actors Guild, Berryman was still at a loss for what he wanted to do with his life. He said that he was planning to continue running his small gift shop and eventually move to Alaska. “Before I got a chance to do that (move to Alaska), I got another phone call,� said Berryman. “That phone call was from George Pal’s casting directors, Micheal Fenton and Jane Feinberg. And they were casting for a very famous movie that won seven Oscars, and that movie was called One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.�

During the filming of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Berryman said they had used a real mental institution for filming and had actually spent time with patients at the institution for acting notes. “It gave me an opportunity to learn my craft, what takes place on set, and I was fascinated with the entire process of film making,� Berryman said.

He said the best advice he’d ever received on acting was from when he worked with Milos Shwarman who told

him to look into the lens and, “Imagine that you’re having a love affair with that lens.� “It was the best advice anyone has ever given me on acting,� Berryman said. “It’s stuck with me, even till this day.�

Berryman said that his main influences on his career and acting styles include Michael Landon and Brandon Lee. “It was more of the directors, music and other productions that changed how I work than other actors’ influences,� said Berryman. “I’m really inspired by the works of Rod Sterling and Joss Whedon.�

The theatre screen was unable to contain all of Berryman as he’s also been in television shows such as The X-Files, and Star Trek: The Next Generation. He’s even made an appearance in the Motley Crue music video for Smokin’ in the Boys Room. “One of my favourite roles of all time was the guardian angel from The X-Files, in Revelations,� Berryman said. “I played Owen Jarvis, a guardian angel who’s protecting a boy.�

Berryman said he will be excited to see all his fans in Red Deer during the expo.

And he will have some simple advice that he has learned along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take yourself so seriously and make sure that you laugh at least once a day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want you to be lazy, because it takes 27 muscles in your face to frown and it only takes three to smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So have a lazy day today.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, fans across the province are gearing up for a weekend full of cosplay, vendors, industry panels and celebrity guests at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Deer Comic & Entertainment Expo. Berryman is one of the celebrity guests set to appear at the event along with Helena Mattsson, Robert Bailey, Morena Baccarin, Taryn Manning, Chloe Bennet and Nicole Marie Jean.

The Expo runs June 11th-12th at Westerner Park. Admission is $29-$99 and can be purchased via www.reddeerexpo. com. Children aged three to 11 pay $9 online or at the gate. student@reddeerexpress.com

Red Deer child rescued from sexual abuse

GET AHEAD OF THE CROWD YOUR CAREER TRAINING STARTS NOW!

A four-year-old toddler has been rescued from sexual abuse following an ALERT Internet Child Exploitation investigation done in conjunction with RCMP Red Deer and the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.

The toddler was allegedly sexually abused by his biological mother, a 43-year-old Red Deer woman who is not being named in order to protect the identity of the young boy. Photos of the abuse were sent over email.

ALERT can confirm that the child is safe, he is no longer with his mother and supports are being offered.

The suspect was arrested on June 1st at a licensed daycare facility in Red Deer, where she was employed. At this point in the investigation ALERT does not believe any offences involved

children from the daycare. The daycare is not being named, however parents of the daycare were notified.

Child and Family Services and the daycare operator are working with ALERT as they investigate.

ALERT’s investigation began in late May 2016 with a referral from the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Unit (ICAC). ICAC identified a child being sexually abused based on evidence seized from a separate investigation. On May 19th, Peter Allen Cash, 40, was arrested after police conducted a search of his home and seized evidence from his computer.

It was also determined that Cash intended to move to Canada that same week. Cash has been charged with nine counts of exploitation of a child

in Idaho as well as possession of child pornography in Missouri.

It was determined the child lived in the Red Deer area and ALERT was then able to expedite the investigation and identify the offender. The Red Deer woman has been charged with sexual assault, sexual exploitation, making child pornography, distributing child pornography, possessing child pornography and accessing child pornography.

The young boy is now in the care of family members.

SENTENCING SET FOR MURDERER

Expect from Academy of Learning Career College:

A date for sentencing has been set for a man who was found criminally responsible for second degree murder last month.

Justice Eldon Simpson rejected the defense claims that Mark Damien Lindsay was suffering from mental illness at the time he killed his girlfriend, Dana Turner, 31, in 2011. Her body was found in a ditch near Innisfail.

Lindsay, 29, who is the adopted son of a former Edmonton police chief, admitted to murdering Turner by stabbing her in the eyes with a pencil,

strangling her and running over her with a vehicle.

Lindsay’s lawyers had argued over the course of his trial, held earlier this year, that Lindsay was not criminally responsible for Turner’s death and that he was suffering from schizophrenia at the time of the murder.

Simpson handed down his decision in Red Deer’s Court of Queen’s Bench last month.

“I am not satisfied that he was suffering from a disease of the mind at the time of the offense,” he said at the time, adding he believed Lindsay knew what he was doing.

“His conduct after showed

by Erin Fawcett purposeful and logical steps to cover up.”

Lindsay’s sentencing hearing will be held July 22nd. A full day has been set aside for the matter.

RODNEY ARENS CASE HELD OVER Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench heard on Monday that defense and the crown continue to work on a resolution in the case of Rodney Arens.

Justice Kirk Sisson sentenced Arens to five years and six months in prison in June 2014. He was given credit for 185 days for time served before and during the trial. His

sentence also included a driving prohibition for 10 years.

Arens was found guilty of impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death, dangerous driving causing bodily harm and breach of recognizance stemming from an incident that took place on July 1st, 2010 near Bower Ponds.

Those convictions were overturned earlier this year in the Alberta Court of Appeal.

He was granted bail, but remains in custody.

Arens will return to the Court of Queen’s Bench in Red Deer on July 4th.

OPINION

Summer fun downtown with the Ross Street Patio What has now become a summer tradition in the downtown core is officially ready for the season.

Ross Street Patio Parties are back for 2016, and Red Deerians were invited to celebrate at the official kick-off event Friday, June 3rd.

Two performances took place for the kick-off, the first by singer-songwriter Randi Boulton followed by an early evening show by The Groove Machine.

During the evening performance interested also had an opportunity to make dreamcatchers from recycled materials with local artist Michael Huyzer.

“The City of Red Deer is proud to continue supporting free, live entertainment on the Ross Street Patio,” said Wendy Meeres, culture community development coordinator for the City of Red Deer. “The relaxed atmosphere makes it a great place to start your weekend and enjoy the warm weather and great music throughout the summer.”

Ross Street Patio entertainment is a partnership between the City of Red Deer

and the Downtown Business Association (DBA).

The City hosts three more Patio Parties from 5 – 8 p.m. on July 8th, Aug. 5th and Sept. 2nd while the DBA supports programming on Tuesday and Thursday lunch hours and Wednesday evenings during the ATB Downtown Market. Events are free and open to the public.

The City’s downtown certainly has seen its fair share of changes over the last number of years. The community has made great strides in trying to make downtown more friendly and welcoming and so far, they have done a fine job.

And with the addition of the Ross Street Patio a few years back, City folks are taking advantage of the downtown even more.

The Ross Street Patio offers a trendy spot for Red Deerians to have lunch, grab a coffee and catch up with friends. The area, located in the north lanes of Ross St. adjacent to Veteran’s Park, offers lots of greenery in the form of planters and shrubs and a number of patio tables with

umbrellas that offer an inviting feel.

In addition to that, as mentioned, a number of free concerts and performances are set to take place at the space and are planned throughout the summer – inviting even more people to the area.

Of course even with its successes, we still hear from the naysayers and over the years we have heard concerns of loss of parking and slower traffic movement through the area.

But we think the pros definitely outweigh the cons in this case and the Ross Street Patio has already proven its success.

On a hot summer day the patio is packed and people, who maybe otherwise wouldn’t think to ‘hang out’ in the downtown, are there enjoying the sites and sounds.

Of course this is great for the businesses in the area too as many will wander the shops as well. And in recent months we’ve seen a few new businesses pop up in the area which encourage more people to drop by as well.

It’s always important to feed the heart of the City and the Ross Street Patio does just that.

The Patio has also been a welcome addition to street festivals that take place in the area as well including CentreFest and Fiestaval – both of which are upcoming this summer.

It’s great to see the added activity to the downtown core – especially since it’s positive activity. In the past downtown was a deserted area of the City and many stories coming out of the core were that of crime and of a negative nature.

With more positive activity, Red Deerians are hearing the good news stories instead.

The City has done a great job with the redevelopment of the area by adding elements of trendiness while also keeping the historical aspects of the downtown as well – something that the area is really known for.

A healthy environment and a healthy economy Did you know that Alberta burns more coal than the rest of Canada combined?

That was a shock to me when I heard it. Why was our province, sitting on a wealth of natural gas and other potential energy sources as it was, burning coal for more than 60% of its electricity generation?

The simple answer is economics. Coal is cheap and plentiful and coal mines employed thousands of Albertans. The complicated answer is that we as a society have not demanded that the government place more value on health and the environment than it does on the economy and on jobs.

We’ve all heard this debate for years. Do we favour the economy or

Barb

MILLER the environment? Do we care more about jobs and money or about health and social justice? We have an answer to this debate, and our answer comes through our Climate Leadership Plan.

Our answer is that there is no inherent contradiction between economic health and environmental health. We can have both, and we have to have both in order to achieve a sustainable future for our children, grandchildren and onward.

The good news is that this debate and the choice to create cleaner energy is taking place everywhere around the world.

Even China, the world’s largest coal user and emitter of CO2, is decreasing the amount of coal it burns. It has also become the world leader in wind power, delivering more energy that way in 2015 than the entire European Union.

India, the world’s second largest country by population, is pouring millions of dollars into renewable energy projects.

On May 24th, our provincial government announced how we will be implementing our Climate Leadership Plan.

As someone who cares about both the people and the economy, and as a lifelong resident of Alberta,

I am proud that we are finally showing leadership and moving toward a cleaner and more diverse economy.

The main tool that our government will use is the carbon levy.

No, this is not a tax.

It will not be tacked onto your bill in a restaurant or onto your purchase at a store like GST is, or like PST is in other provinces.

It will be invisible, and will be applied only to items that generate pollution.

It’s really quite simple.

The government will collect the levy fairly and evenly throughout the economy. We will give a full or partial rebate of that levy to six out of 10 families, and we will reinvest the rest of the revenue back into the economy, cre-

ating jobs, spurring growth in sustainable technology, investing in green transit and infrastructure projects and supporting energy efficiency.

Every major economy in the world and every jurisdiction in Canada is now facing the same challenge and opportunity that Alberta is.

Before the Climate Leadership Plan, Alberta was the only province in Canada that did not have a provincial energy efficiency plan. That is not leadership.

We must move away from coal, and must show leadership in how we deal with carbon-based fuels and the amount of pollution that we emit into the atmosphere. Red Deer knows this.

For the years from 2009 to

2013 we surpassed national standards for ozone and fine particulate matter in the air in the Red Deer area.

We know that the young and the old – the most vulnerable to illness from air borne pollution – are affected by this pollution.

We can do something about it. We can work together to keep our energy sector as a viable and robust part of a diversified energy economy. We can reinvest money from a carbon levy into improving our environment, our economy and our children’s future. I hope we have everyone’s support as we work to protect the health of our citizens and to move Alberta forward into a cleaner, greener and healthier world.

POLICE BRIEFS POLICE SEARCH FOR ARSONIST Red Deer RCMP are looking for public assistance to identify a teenage boy after two mobile homes in Mustang Acres were damaged on Sunday night by a fire the boy is believed to have lit.

RCMP were called to the two adjacent mobile homes at 9:30 p.m. on June 5th. Investigators have determined that the fire started when poplar fuzz was lit on fire, and then spread to the two residences. Residents used hoses to deal with the fire until Red Deer firefighters arrived and extinguished it. Two homes sustained fire damage: one to its front panels and detached garage, and the adjacent home sustained damage at the rear. Two bushes on one property were also burned. Both homes had significant damage from the fire, but no one was injured.

RCMP are looking for a suspect who is described as a Caucasian male, between 14- to 15-years-old, about 5’4” – 5’6” tall with a thin build. He was wearing a black toque, grey hoodie, baggy blue jeans and black skater shoes, he has black hair that covered his eye brows and winged out under the toque.

CHARGES LAID AFTER THEFT • Red Deer RCMP arrested a Red Deer man who was wanted on warrants and was breaching his probation after he attempted to steal a donation can from Sunnybrook Farm last week.

On May 28th at 2:20 a.m., RCMP responded to a report of two suspicious men at Sunnybrook Farm Museum who were attempting to remove a large cream can used as a donation can. One of those men had been caught on camera at the farm the day before, also attempting to steal a cream can.

The men were no longer on scene when RCMP arrived, but police located a suspicious truck parked nearby and conducted a traffic stop. The driver was wanted on a warrant out of Blackfalds and was breaching his court-imposed curfew conditions, and police arrested him without incident. On receiving the surveillance footage from Sunnybrook Farm shortly afterward, police further identified him as one of the suspects in that file.

A 39-year-old Red Deer man faces Criminal Code charges of breach of probation, trespassing and mischief. His name cannot be published at this time as the charges have not yet been sworn before the courts.

Municipal amendments could benefit City A revised Municipal Government Act (MGA) released by the provincial government last week includes a number of positive components, but administration is still looking through the details to see what all the changes mean for the City of Red Deer.

“There are some clearly progressive opportunities within the proposed MGA changes,” said Mayor Tara Veer. “We are pleased with the opportunity to split mill rates on non-residential properties as this allows greater flexibility in allocating taxes and a potential benefit for economic development.”

As well, changes to the offsite levies, or development fees, allows for the City to charge developers for the cost of police stations, fire stations, and other community amenities in new neighbourhoods. This could allow the City to plan for amenities to be in a neighbourhood when residents move in.

“Our use of these new offsite levies will need to be considered along with other financial tools and levers,” said Veer. “Furthermore, none of these changes lessen the need for a provincial long term funding strategy for municipalities.”

The property tax incentives related to contaminated sites, or brownfields, will potentially assist in the development of

the rest of the province. Locally, we face the these underutilized sites in Red Deer.

as the cost of development, and the social, economic, safety and environmental opportunities presented by growth in Alberta’s largest cities such as Red Deer, Calgary and Edmonton.

The MGA is the legislative framework in which all municipalities and municipal entities across Alberta operate. The MGA revision is important because it governs the City’s ability to respond to growth, ensure viability, and govern the community based on local priorities.

Since 2014 when the province first started the review, the City has participated in numerous consultation sessions, worked with the Alberta Municipalities Association (AUMA) and had many direct conversations with the Minister of Municipal Affairs to ensure that the priorities and concerns for Red Deer were considered in drafting these revisions.

The first round of amendments as part of Bill 20 were passed in the spring of 2015.

They largely focused on areas of general agreement between the Government of Alberta, the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA), the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties (AAMDC) and other stakeholders.

Professional Q &A Alimony, Maintenance & Child Support Payments

Herbert & Company CertiƂed General Accountant

Alimony and maintenance payments, now referred to as support payments, are deductible by the payer and therefore must be included in the income of the recipient, provided it is documented under an order, decree, judgment or written separation agreement.

Child support payments are treated differently. For written agreements and court orders made on or after May 1, 1997 payments are not deductible by the payer nor need to be included as income by the recipient.

However, written agreements and court orders made prior to May 1, 1997 are deductible by the payer and taxable to the recipient. Parents with existing agreements prior to May 1, 1997 may Ƃle a joint election with CRA to apply the new tax treatment.

Regardless of whether the payments are taxable or not, they must be reported on your personal tax return. The payor would report all payments paid as either deductible or non-deductible and the recipient would report all payments received as either taxable or non-taxable.

This is only a summary of some of the main points regarding this topic. It is important that you work with a designated accountant to properly assure that your speciƂc situation is handled properly.

Is it hard? NO! To ensure you have a safe swimming environment, minimally required are 3 products: - sanitizer - algaecide - shock Depending on the type of your pool, you may need to BALANCE your water. Balancing your alkalinity, PH and calcium protects your equipment from damage by your water. Furthermore the addition of stabilizer - lengthens the lifespan of your sanitizer.

Sanitizer can deplete in as little as 30 minutes, stabilized water lengthens that time period to 6 hours or more.

RED DEER EXPRESS 13

A look at royal visits in the province While Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 years old on April 21st, an array of special birthday celebration events are planned for this coming weekend (June 10th to 12th).

These special events and ceremonies include a National Service of Thanksgiving, a special Trooping The Colours parade and an enormous Patron’s Lunch with an expected 10,000 guests.

Red Deer has its own special link with the Queen.

On June 28th, 1990, she came to Red Deer to view the new Paediatric Ward at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. It was the first and only time in history that a reigning monarch has visited the City.

Large enthusiastic crowds gathered to greet the Queen.

However, probably no royal visit created the same level of excitement and outpouring of public affection as the cross-Canada tour in the spring of 1939 by King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth (often known as the Queen Mother).

Unfortunately, because they were still quite young, Queen (then Princess) Elizabeth, and her sister, Princess Margaret (who

Michael

DAWE came to Red Deer on July 26th, 1980), were not part of that historic tour.

There were two main goals to the 1939 royal visit.

King George VI had ascended to the throne in May 1937. The tour provided an opportunity to introduce the new monarch and his wife to Canadians.

However, it was increasingly obvious that the world was teetering on the verge of another world war. The trip helped to build public support for king and country for very trying times which lay ahead.

King George and Queen Elizabeth arrived by ship in Quebec City on May 17th. They then departed westwards on a special blue, silver and gold train.

There was heavy media coverage of the trip and of the large crowds that turned out to greet the Royal Family.

Consequently, excitement

grew even more as the royal train approached Alberta.

The train reached Calgary on the afternoon of Friday, May 26th. Huge throngs of people gathered for the event. Many Central Albertans went down to Calgary to catch a glimpse of the king and queen. Others went to Banff where the Royals spent much of the weekend.

After proceeding to British Columbia for three days, the king and queen came back to Alberta on June 1st. Excitement was now at a fever pitch. Special excursion trains were organized to transport people to Edmonton for the official ceremonies on Friday, June 2nd.

The Red Deer School District made special arrangements to ensure that several hundred local school children could make the trip. Red Deer’s City council decided to declare a civic holiday on June 2nd so even more people could go to Edmonton.

The special excursion trains from Red Deer carried an estimated 1,200 passengers to Edmonton on the morning of June 2nd.

Another special train from the communities west of

It was estimated that more than half of the City’s total population left for Edmonton. In the words of the local newspaper, Red

Deer took on the appearance of a ghost town.

Despite the phenomenal crowds and excitement, there were no serious accidents or incidents. While many returned to Red Deer on Friday night, several lingered in Edmonton through much of the weekend.

The Royal Visit came to an end in Nova Scotia on June 15th.

However, for a long time afterwards, many Canadians continued to recount what many felt was one of the greatest and most successful events in our nation’s history.

ENTERTAINMENT Westerner Days packed with family-fun entertainment

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Gearing up for another round of topnotch family entertainment, the Westerner Days Fair & Exposition is marking its 125th anniversary this year. The fair runs July 20th-24th.

“Our anniversary year will celebrate the foundational role the community plays in our success,” said Ben Antifaiff, Westerner Park’s CEO and general manager.

Since 1891, Westerner Park has been a celebration of everything it means to be ‘Central Alberta’, officials say.

“This year’s Westerner Days campaign is about embracing your inner Westerner,” said Meghan Gustum, Westerner Park’s marketing manager. “We want to build on our guest’s emotional connection with Westerner Days. We invite our guests to take in our 125th anniversary and to share their traditions and rituals through their images and stories and let us how Westerner Days has become a part of their personal story.”

Prior to the parade on July 20th in the City’s downtown, there is also the Bower Place Pancake Breakfast on July 16th from 8 to 11 a.m. with proceeds going to the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter.

Highlights also abound this year for Westerner Days, including eight artists over four days at the ENMAX Centrium.

The Washboard Union and Chad Brownlee perform on July 20th, followed

by DJ Spinderella and Salt n Pepa on July 21st; The Stampeders and Prism on July 22nd and USS and Moist are rounding things out on July 23rd.

All concerts start at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m. They are also free of charge with gate admission.

Cole Malone and Christian Hudson perform July 21st, Charlie Jacobson plays July 22nd and Jamie Woodfin performs on July 23rd followed by Trinity Bradshaw on July 23rd as well.

Other features this year include the Ride all Day (RAD) passes - $34 - which includes gate admission and unlimited midway rides for any one day of Westerner Days.

Ride All Day passes are available from June 15th – July 19th at participating Mac’s and Central Alberta Co-op Food Store locations.

Officials also say that the three day MEGA pass is the best way to enjoy several days at the fair.

COUNTRY STRONG - Singer Chad Brownlee is one of several artists set to perform during this year’s Westerner Days Fair & Exposition. Brownlee’s concert runs July 20th in the ENMAX Centrium starting at 8 p.m. photo submitted This multi-day pass includes gate admission for any three days of Westerner Days but does not include rides or parking.

MEGA Passes are also available from June 15th to July 19th at participating Mac’s and Central Alberta Co-op Food Store locations.

“Westerner Days has a long-standing tradition of bringing people together in celebration,” said Gustum. “Introduced last

year, we gave the community one more reason to come together - Morning of Faith. On Sunday, we’ll be offering our non-denominational service before the grounds open to the general public.

“We will open the grounds at 10 a.m. at no charge to anyone wishing to attend the 11 a.m. service,” she said. “They will then be welcome to stay on the grounds and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at the fair.

Participants range in age of 10-16 years and are sons and daughters of current All Pro Chuckwagon Drivers. The ‘Stars of Tomorrow’ will be intermission entertainment and runs Wednesday to Sunday as well.

Of course, the midway continues to offer fairgoers all kinds of exciting rides, including 18 thrill rides, 13 family rides and nine kiddie rides.

Singer Shiloh Lindsey performs at Fratters this month

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Hailing from Halifax, alternative country singer-songwriter Shiloh Lindsey brings her musical mastery to Fratters on June 16th. Folks will be able to hear tunes from her newly-released disc Bloomfield and Isleville (named after a street corner in Halifax).

Her latest recording, built in and around a house in Halifax, takes on challenging universal themes of homesickness, history, and self-improvement with heart rendering commonality. In contrast to the richly orchestrated tapestries of her previous efforts, this EP is a more intimate, acoustic glimpse of the artist.

Taking the reins from trusted producers John Ellis (For My Smoke) and Kirk Douglas (2010’s Western Violence and Brief Sensuality) Lindsey proves that she can truly stand alone, as strong as ever.

“I lived in Halifax for about three years, and the songs on this CD were written there,” she explains of the sources of inspiration for the project. She has since moved back to Vancouver, having lived in B.C. since she was a kid. Originally, she hails from Wetaskiwin.

At about age eight, she and her family moved to northern B.C. and she ultimately made her way to Vancouver.

During her growing up years, there was music in the family for sure - mainly from her grandfather and uncles on banjo and fiddle.

“When I was about 14 I got an electric guitar,” she recalls of those formative years. “So I started with that - and then it

sat in my closet for a long time. Then one of my older brothers gave me his acoustic guitar.” And a new path was set as that’s when her songwriting gift began to blossom. “Even before I started playing guitar, I was writing poetry,” she said, adding that artists of the singer/songwriter variety were influential on her style over the years as well.

“I kind of fell back into the country-alt (style) as I got a little bit older.”

These days, inspiration for new tunes can surface unexpectedly. Other times, she takes a more conventional, disciplined approach to her craft. Either way, her commitment to follow her own path has proven successful. Lindsey has been described as a most unique character in Canadian music.

According to her web site, “She pairs open country authenticity with big city sensibilities, for a complex blend of prairie, mountain and coastal textures.

“Painstakingly documenting the triumphs and failures of life and love, her honest words and melodies pull the listener in close to rest their ears against the comforting heartbeat of each song she sings.”

For Lindsey, taking her music to the masses is the life that indeed suits her best. “It’s about all the people that I’ve been meeting, and the experiences that I wouldn’t have been able to have had,” she said, adding that seeing so much of the country is also an added bonus.

Among her career highlights, Lindsey has performed at NXNE and shared the stage with the likes of Kinky Friedman.

Separating the healthy oils from the unhealthy oils As you stand in front of the grocery store shelves filled with all kinds of cooking oils, how do you know which one to buy? Choosing the right oil can be a confusing process. Since all oils are made of mostly fat, none are good to eat in large quantities. However, some options are better for you than others.

When it comes to fat, there are two main types: saturated and unsaturated. In general, it’s the saturated fats that are to be avoided or limited and the unsaturated fats that are considered a healthier choice. Comparing the amount of saturated fat versus unsaturated fat in each oil will help give you an idea of which is better for you.

Here are a few of the more popular oils and their health ratings.

Olive oil - considered one of the healthier oils available, olive oil is mostly monounsaturated fat. A

Jack

WHEELER large part of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is a fat that’s got rich flavour and is good for your heart. Choose a higher quality, extra-virgin olive oil for it’s high concentration of polyphenols (powerful antioxidants).

Olive oil is best used in salad dressings or as a topping for bread, pasta, or steamed vegetables. It can also be used to sauté or bake, but doesn’t work well to fry though as it breaks down at very high heats.

Canola oil - if you’re trying to decide between canola, vegetable, or corn, choose canola. While vegetable and corn sound healthier, it’s

canola that’s lowest in saturated fat. It’s a monounsaturated fat that doesn’t have much flavour but makes a great option for sautéing, roasting, and baking. That said, studies show you’ll reduce your risk of heart disease by substituting saturated fat (butter, lard, or shortening) for canola oil.

Coconut oil - this is the new guy to the market. But I’m sold. While there isn’t many long term studies on it yet, the short term studies are super promising. While it’s extremely high in saturated fat (92%), the type of saturated fat in coconut oil is harder for the body to turn into fat (super good for energy) and may in fact actually be good for your heart. Coconut oil helps your body absorb minerals, control blood sugar, and boost the immune system. Many people have found coconut oil beneficial for their hair, skin, and teeth on

top of increased energy levels.

Walnut oil - an oil high in omega3 fatty acids and polyunsaturated fats, walnut oil is another oil option that’s good for your heart.

With a strong nutty flavour and short shelf life, walnut oil is yummy in certain baked goods, desserts, and salad dressings.

Partially hydrogenated oil - anytime an ingredient list contains the words ‘partially hydrogenated’, you’d do well to choose a different food. Most of these oils come from soybean or cottonseed seed oils (two types of vegetable oils), but they contain trans fats and are known to increase your chances of developing heart disease. In many countries, trans fats are banned because of the harm they do to your health.

Ban them from your diet as well.

Grape seed oil - oil made from the seeds of grapes is a polyunsaturated fat. Grape seed oil contains high

amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, linoleic acid, and antioxidants that provide powerful health benefits for your heart, immune system, and arthritis relief. It can be used to fry foods, flavour vegetables, and make dressings and sauces.

Palm oil and the forest - as a replacement for trans fat oil, many food manufacturers have turned to palm oil. Much controversy surrounds this oil that’s not only high in saturated fat (as much as butter) but is harvested in a way that causes deforestation and possibly animal extinction. Palm oil has become such a large industry that an estimated 300 football fields of land in the rain forest are cleared every hour just to keep up with the demand. If you choose palm oil, use sparingly.

Has anyone felt your testicles lately?

How many women will have their breasts examined this year? I don’t know the exact figure but it will be in the millions.

But how many men will have their testicles examined during 2016? Again, I don’t know the exact number but it will be miniscule compared to that of the fairer sex.

Is this sexual discrimination? If so, we need a class action lawsuit to protect men’s rights or, more to the point, our testicles.

But more important, an increase in TSE (testicular self examination) would increase the survival rate of this malignancy.

We don’t know what triggers testicular cancer. But males at greatest risk are those between the ages of 15 and 35.

There’s increased risk if the testicle has failed to descend into the scrotum or one testicle is significantly smaller than the other, or if there’s a family history of this disease.

Testicular cancer is rarely seen in black men.

A myth exists that being kicked in the groin during sports triggers this malignancy. But there is no evidence of this. Rather, the resulting soreness causes men to examine the scrotal area and they then discover the cancer.

Like cancer of the breast, early testicular malignancy shows no symptoms.

This may be the case even when cancer has totally replaced the testicle.

But as the malignancy develops, men may complain

Dr. Gifford

JONES of the sensation of weight or pulling in the scrotal area. Pain may also occur when the cancer bleeds into the scrotal area or there’s blockage of blood to the testicle.

The most common type of testicular cancer is called a seminoma. This malignancy accounts for about 50% of cases, spreads slowly and is easy to cure by surgery if diagnosed early. Slow growing seminomas also respond well to radiation if they have metastasized to lymph nodes.

Testicular cancer is almost always confined to one testicle. And there’s less than a five percent chance a new tumour will develop in the other testicle.

Today tens of millions of dollars are spent trying to persuade women to examine their breasts regularly and have annual mammograms. A pittance is spent trying to alert males to testicular cancer.

I don’t see this changing.

So men are on their own and must examine their testicles just as women examine their breasts.

Luckily, lumps in the testicles are easier to detect than those in breasts.

So how does a normal testicle feel?

It should be as smooth and firm as a hard-boiled egg without its shell.

Besides, almost all of the testicle can be gently examined through the thin scrotal skin.

Like women, the prime time for men to examine testicles is while taking a warm shower. By gently picking up each testicle between the thumb and fingers the surface can be explored for lumps.

But here’s an important point to remember.

Since men have little

or no knowledge of their anatomy, the testicle has two parts, the testicle and the epididymis. The epididymis (which accumulates sperm and carries it to the outside) is situated at the rear of the testicle and lumps are quite common in this structure. They may be the size of a pea and normally of little importance. But, to be sure, always report any lump or irregularity to your doctor. Then ultrasound and others tests can be carried out.

Treatment of testicular cancer depends on whether it’s an early or late diagnosis.

For early malignancies the testicle is removed with excellent cure rates.

But more advanced cancers require a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Men may be the stronger sex physically, but a diagnosis of testicular cancer is psychologically devastating to young men. So all the more need for testicular self-examination every

month as it’s highly unlikely anyone else is going to do this for them.

SPORTS Red hot Riggers continue win streak

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS A pair of back to back rain outs weren’t enough to cool down the red hot Red Deer Riggers.

Despite not playing a game since May 17th due to unfavourable weather, the Riggers didn’t miss a single step when they hosted the St. Albert Tigers at Great Chief Park, last week.

“I think everyone played a key role. We lost the games because of rain, lost some practices because of rain, so I don’t know if we’ve really been able to be out since last Tuesday. But the bats were good early and it was a solid game defensively,” said Riggers Player/Coach Jason Chatwood after the 9-6 win, which puts the Riggers at a perfect 3-0 record on the season.

It was another great team game for the Riggers, who have proven to be one of the best overall squads in the Sunburst Baseball League this season so far.

“The bats came out early. (Starting pitcher) Tyler (Vavra) pitched great for us, threw lots of strikes and then our bullpen came in and just kind of shut the door. It was huge,” Chatwood said.

An early scoring explosion and pitching dominance were the key for the Riggers, as their bats struck for a quartet of runs in the second inning to take the lead while Vavra, making his Riggers debut, stumped the St. Albert hitters time and again in the opening innings.

“The first three innings were good. I just got a little tired there in the fifth. It was my first time going above 75 pitches this year, so just getting used to that,” said the newcomer, who struck out four batters with nine hits and three earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched. He didn’t surrender a run until the fourth inning.

St. Albert wasn’t going to go down without a fight, though, as they took advantage of Vavra’s flagging arm to put up a quick run in the fourth and knocking in three runs before the Riggers decided to go to the pen, bringing in right hander Joel Peterman.

“They put some good swings on the ball and just found some holes. Tyler, I think, was maybe getting a little bit tired towards the end, there. But Joel (Peterman) came in and battled and we were able to get out of there,” Chatwood said.

Peterman was excellent in his 1.2 innings

on the mound, surrendering no hits and striking out two batters to record the win.

The Tigers would manage just one more run in the fifth inning on a sac fly, leaving a man on third.

From there it came down to defense and relief pitching, as the Riggers completely shut down the opposing offense for most of the game.

“The bullpen just kind of shut them down and we scored a couple of runs when we needed to towards the end,” Chatwood said.

Five different pitchers, including Vavra and Peterman, made appearances for the Riggers on the night, combining for nine strike outs and allowing 11 hits with just three total earned runs.

On the other side of the ball, Red Deer’s offense recorded 11 hits of their own, but were able to take better advantage of the chances that they had with runners in scoring position.

“It was a tough game. Solid effort from everybody. You’re going to kind of have those games where you’re going to have to stay patient and grind it out. Everybody played a key role,” said Chatwood.

“They were good early and defense was really good.”

He added that despite the great start, the team isn’t going to get ahead of themselves.

Right now, he said, one of the main focuses is to make sure the club’s pitching staff are all getting innings.

“It’s frustrating with games getting

spread out like that, especially for pitchers because you want to try to get them in but you can’t really stretch them out because you’ve got to try to get everyone in when you can.”

But things will even out pretty quickly for the Riggers’ pitching staff, as the team is gearing up for a busy week that includes a matchup with Sherwood Park, Wednesday night, before a league tournament on the weekend.

“We’ve got a lot of games coming up.

Guys will get their innings.”

The Riggers are back at home on June 14th when they take on the Confederation Cubs at Great Chief Park. That game gets underway at 7:30 p.m. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

RED DEER EXPRESS 19

Dustin Bell a key Congratulations Graduates of 2016! member of the Rampage

BY COLE SWIER RED DEER EXPRESS Lacrosse season is in full swing as the Junior B Red Deer Rampage have hit the ground running. One of the major weapons in the Rampages’ arsenal is 20-yearold and first year player Dustin Bell.

Actually referring to Bell as a Rampage rookie may be considered a misconception as he had been called up to play for them in the past. Bell is currently leading the team in points in his first ever year as a permanent member of the team, in his first five games he has managed to rack up a total of 17 points and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

Since falling in love with the sport Bell has bounced back and forth between playing for a variety of teams but has never faced the level of competition as with playing for the Rampage. Bell said his lack of super competitive experience has proven to be a benefit because having played lower levels of lacrosse he brings a different level of respect for both the sport and his team.

“I haven’t really played for a competitive team like this so I think I just have a lot more respect for the team than a lot of players who have played for teams like this their whole life,” said Bell.

Alongside the respect that he brings to the team, Bell has also proven himself to a leader as well. Despite his naturally quiet personality Bell’s leadership ability has been proven to the Rampage coaching staff as has been awarded the team’s assistant captain role. Bell said with his current role on the team he is trying his best to be a leader and take more responsibility.

“My coach gave me assistant this year but I’m not really used to being more of a leader because I’m generally a pretty quiet guy, but I’m stepping up to the plate and am ready to be more in charge.”

Trey Christensen is the Rampage’s head coach said that Bell’s calm and laid-back personality is what makes him a perfect leader for the team. He clarified by saying that Bell’s ability to approach teammates and give recommendations and assurance is extremely instrumental towards the team’s development.

“Although he doesn’t talk much in groups he talks well one on one so he’s pulling people aside all the time and sharing thoughts and people listen so it always pays off,” said Christensen.

Bell said the ability to have close relationships with the players on team is easier then expected because of their

demanding schedule. He explained that by spending so much time with his teammates for lacrosse, the team usually ends up hanging out outside of the arena setting as well.

“We are with each other five to six days a week for lacrosse so even when we’re not at lacrosse we can usually just hang out, go paintballing together, drink together, and basically do everything together.”

Adding onto the close relationships and respect that Bell has for his teammates, Christensen explained another reason Bell is crucial towards the Rampage’s success is through his innate ability to make the best out of even the worst situations.

“He doesn’t play afraid and I think that’s a big, big thing, he tries his best to always stay within our system. He’s still learning but by staying in the system and doing what he needs to do when everything breaks down he has no fear whatsoever to take the ball himself and make things happen.”

Bell’s ability to think on his feet has proven to be successful for the Rampage as the they won three games, tied one against the Edmonton Warriors, and just came up short against the Calgary Shamrocks with a hard fought 9-7 loss in their first five games of the season.

May the future be bright and successful!

HOMES & LIVING

HEART AND HOME - This spacious living area in a Riser Homes show home in McKay Ranch in Blackfalds blends simple design with a touch of personality.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express

Finding that special ‘something’ for home decor Decorating a home can often be about ‘the find’, that inspirational piece that starts your creative wheels moving and gives you the framework for your next project. I see people digging through home décor stores searching for that perfect piece – I have even been stopped on occasion and asked my opinion from someone who recognizes me or decides that my cart full of décor items makes me look like an expert.

The find can happen to you when you aren’t even looking, sometimes things or situations present themselves in such a perfect way you have no option but to say yes.

This is particularly true if you are antiquing or looking in a store that does not stock the same items over and over – you need to be savvy and decisive when you find items in rare places and never

Kim

WYSE hesitate to grab that perfect item. Trust me, if you go around the aisle twice that perfect piece may be gone (I believe the company has television ads which show many disappointed women who left that perfect piece behind and it was GONE).

I am not much of an outdoor decorator but I really wanted something cool for my front flower bed.

Last year my clematis was out of control and the pathetic trellis I had wired it to eventually bowed under the weight leaving me with a candy cane shaped plant at my front door. I had envisioned an old ladder

leaning against my porch with this beautiful plant climbing all over it and began to keep a look out on line and at yard sales for an old and weathered ladder.

One day I’m strolling with my sweetie at his parents’ farm and guess what I see leaning against a shed?

Yes! An old weathered ladder with wood that was cracked and grey from the elements. It was perfect and the best part of it was that my guy had built it when he was a kid.

My find was found and it made its way to my flower bed and is now proudly supporting my happy plant.

Those kind of things are really priceless, you have no idea how many times I look out at that and smile and how many comments and compliments I get from neighbours walking by.

It is a neat thing, a true find and I couldn’t

have left it there even if I had to carry it all the way back to Red Deer myself. I can’t tell you how many times I have bought a piece of furniture or a huge décor item only to leave it paid for at the store while I rounded up some Good Samaritan with a truck to bring my prize back home with me.

Your find can be great or small, from the perfect shade of lipstick to the best deal on a garage package or even a brand new home, you can be strolling along and walk right into something that you just can’t quit smiling about.

Pick it up, hold it close and run with it like you are scoring the winning touchdown at the Grey Cup. You will never look back with regret on finding the find and claiming it for your very own.

DIY tips to get your backyard ready for summer The thick bed of snow that covered your backyard over the winter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer much in the décor department and it likely left you dreaming about the warmer months ahead. So now that your perennials are giving life back to the scene, why not give your whole backyard some DIY love to get everything looking like summer again?

Here are a few tips to help you: Decorate and add personalized touches.

Bring the indoors outside with colourful pillows, candles and even a rug. An upcycled antique door or window looks great

propped up or mounted on a fence. Get creative!

Design the gardens with sustainable polish. Make your vibrant garden a focal point of the backyard with earth-friendly and beautifully designed products made with recycled tires.

Give your plants a boost. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, plants need food to grow too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and there are many different types of fertilizer available at your local gardening store. From organic to liquid to granular, the right one can help your garden to blossom. Be sure to ask a gardening ex-

pert whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for your particular flora and fauna. Alternatively, if you have a composter, did you know that old banana peels can make for great plant food?

No matter whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out to create

a lush garden or a relaxing patio area, check-out more creative backyard solutions in the Fresh Home Ideas e-guide, available at RethinkTires.ca. www.newscanada.com
