Care andand Community Care Community for the for the Elderly

Elderly

by Teena Dickerson Advertising Feature

Walking up from the sidewalk, it looks like a regular family home nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood.

Upon opening the front door, warmth and busy kitchen smells waft out- baking muffins and freshly peeled cucumbers.

Tanner, a tiny fluff ball and pet therapy dog, lifts his head but then decides to quietly return to his nap. Stepping into the Community Care Cottages on Dempsey Street in Red Deer feels like you are visiting grandma’s house, not a nursing home.

Community Care Cottages are private nursing homes providing continuing care accommodations for the elderly. As a private facility, they offer an alternative to institutionalized care with an emphasis on family living, community, and, both, choice and voice for seniors in Alberta.

There are two elegant and professionally decorated homes in Red Deer and one in Edmonton. Each home has an onsite doctor and round the clock nursing services. The staff to resident ratio is 1:4 so seniors have a very high level of individualized care and the loving attention they need. Along with expert

medical care, Community Care Cottages provides home-cooked meals, assistance with daily personal care and medication delivery, coordination with the community rehabilitation professionals and home care, housekeeping and laundry services.

Community Care Cottages is owned and operated by Karen Cazemier. Ms Cazemier grew up in Red Deer and is familiar with the needs of its elder residents. “People need to live in a sense of community with each other. I believe small family-like settings and being part of a family helps the elderly.” Karen Cazemier smiles kindly and continues, “Living in a small home, like your own home, builds this sense of community and family for the elderly.” Cazemier opened the homes after searching for an appropriate elderly care facility for her own 92 year old grandmother who needed a high level of nursing care but thrived in home-like environment.

Though Cazemier’s background is in technology and she was an executive at Amazon.com, she finds her current work in elder care personally fulfilling and more meaningful.

Personal fulfillment is also a priority for the residents of the Community Care

Local curler continues to excel in sport Jocelyn Peterman wraps up second year on Women’s World Curling Tour

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS

I

t’s been a crazy season of curling for Jocelyn Peterman, who just wrapped up her second year on the Women’s World Curling Tour with a bang, winning gold at her first-ever Scotties Tournament of Hearts while playing second on Chelsea Carey’s Team Alberta.

“It’s been busy but it’s been worth it for sure,” said Peterman, 22, who also recently graduated from the kinesiology program at the University of Calgary.

“Right before everything got super busy with the Scotties and worlds, I had just finished, so it was good timing,” said Peterman, adding that while there were some tough times during the year, everything worked out in the end.

“It was difficult sometimes. Obviously, in ladies’, the events run as week-long events, especially the grand slam events. So for each of those it’s missing a full week of school at a time, which is a little difficult.

But it just meant a lot of studying when I was home and on the road.”

For Peterman, the journey to the biggest stage in Canadian curling began when she was just a young girl growing up in Red Deer.

“My dad was the ice maker at the Red Deer Curling Club for a long time, so when I was young we would take the bus from school to the curling club to hang out while he was there instead of going home. So I spent a lot of time there and I was involved with the sport before I was even playing it,” she remembered, adding both of her parents and her brother curled competitively, so it didn’t take long for her to start playing in Red Deer’s Light Rock league.

“I believe the age you had to be to start was seven or eight. But because I had a little bit of an in there, my dad had me playing in the league when I was five,” she said.

Peterman has stuck with the sport ever since.

“When I was younger, throughout elementary school and middle school, I also played a bunch of other sports, I still play competitive softball. But I started playing in competitive curling competitions and then when I was about 13 or 14, I kind of had to choose.

“Curling would take us away about every second weekend because we were travelling to different events and stuff, so it was impossible to still play school sports,” she said, adding she made the decision to stick strictly with curling during the winter and softball in the summer.

It was around that time that Peterman got her first taste of provincial competition, when her team represented Red Deer at the U18 Juvenile Provincials at the age of 14, earning a silver medal with her rink. ®

STRATEGY - Alberta second Jocelyn Peterman in the championship game at the 2016 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The Red Deer native continues to hone her skills on the world stage.

“That kind of lit a bit of a fire under us when we saw how much fun the other teams were having, the team that won, at the Optimist International event. That was our push to want to practice a little more so that we would be the champions the next year at that event,” she said.

And that’s how it worked out for Peterman’s rink, as the very next year they won the U18 Juvenile Provincials to move on to represent Alberta at the Optimist International tournament, winning bronze.

“The Optimist Internationals was kind of my first big event representing Alberta.

It’s one of those events where everyone’s kind of friends - where you’re representing your province but it’s also a ton of fun. I wanted to keep being able to play at events like that. The fun that we had there, as well as the success, kind of pushed us to want to continue to train and practice harder to be able to compete and represent Alberta at the Junior level as well as at the Canada Winter Games, which was a big goal for us at the time,” she said.

It was a goal they eventually fulfilled, making it all the way to the gold medal

game of the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Halifax before falling to British Columbia’s Corryn Brown.

In 2014, the opportunity of a lifetime opened up for Peterman when she was asked to play second for Heather Nedohin’s team on the World Curling Tour.

“It was kind of a shock to me to get asked to play with Heather’s team but it was a big blessing and that really got me started in the women’s circuit after my last year of junior. That was kind of a dream come true for me. It was pretty surreal.”

The team made it to the final of the Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts before falling to Chelsea Carey.

But the ride was just getting started as Carey took over skipping Peterman’s rink for the 2015-16 season after Nedohin retired.

“It’s been pretty crazy, especially with Heather retiring, it was a lot of effort to get accustomed to a new skip. We played in a lot of events this year and it was a lot of work. We were gone quite a few weekends,” she said, adding winning the Scotties Tournament of Hearts was a pretty cool experience.

“It’s pretty exciting. The support from the Red Deer community throughout the events was pretty incredible and all of the people from back home who were sending notes and support, it was pretty awesome.

It’s been pretty amazing.”

The team wasn’t able to earn a medal at the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship in Swift Current this year, but Peterman said they’ve got their eyes on another prize - the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.

“That’s our goal now. This coming season is kind of where we’ll earn our points and be able to earn that spot, hopefully for the Olympic trials. Having not finished on the podium at the Worlds we still have to earn our Olympic trials spot now this year, so that’s a big motivation,” she said, adding that the team will get to play in some big events after winning the Scotties last year.

“We get to play in the Continental Cup in Vegas and things like that but we’re also pretty excited to go back to the Scotties as Team Canada and hopefully earn our spot for the Olympic trials in the fall 2017.” zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Official logo unveiled for 2019 Canada Winter Games

BY ERIN FAWCETT RED DEER EXPRESS The official logo of the 2019 Canada Winter Games was unveiled earlier this week.

On Monday, the 2019 Canada Winter Games Host Society provided a community update to government representatives, local sports leaders and members of the media at the Collicutt Centre.

The update featured the introduction of the 2019 Games senior leadership team, the announcement of the sport schedule and the presentation of the 2019 Games logo.

In terms of the leadership team, is was announced Mike Olesen will be the senior executive manager for the finance and administration team. Senior volunteer leaders under him include Greg Scott and Amber Adair. Trisa Zimmerman was named the executive manager for venue and support services.

Doug Marchment and Leslee Burton will serve as senior volunteer members. Ian Allan was announced as the executive manager for sport and athlete services.

Mike Klass and Donna

UNVEILING - Pictured here is the 2019 Canada Winter Games logo which was unveiled earlier this week. photo submitted Hateley will serve as senior volunteers for that area.

And finally, the executive manager for marketing and revenue will be Lee Ann Waines. Senior volunteer leaders for that department are Heidi Dandurand and Sherri Ryckman.

“We are confident that our Senior Leadership Team has the professional experience and enthusiasm to bring to life the 2019 Canada Winter Games that was envisioned in Red Deer’s Bid for the Games,” said Lyn Radford, board chair. “This is a diverse team of outstanding individuals who possess a wealth of knowledge in their specialty areas, including multi-games experience, which will ensure the delivery of a life-shaping Games experience for all

participants. Because of the strength of our volunteer force in our community, we felt that the operations model that we have chosen with our executive staff members working with two senior volunteer leaders is the ultimate model for hosting the 2019 Games.”

Chief Executive Officer for the 2019 Canada Winter Games, Scott Robinson, said momentum continues to build in the community.

“It’s an exciting day for us. When we were involved with the Memorial Cup, which was a fantastic event, I think everyone walked away from that saying, ‘Wow this is a warm up with the Canada Games coming’. It was a heck of a warm up, but it just shows the City is ready for these platform

events of this size and we’re excited. This is another

step for us and another milestone.”

Officials also announced an overview of the sport schedule that established what sports will be hosted each week during the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

There will be 19 sports taking place at 15 different venues.

“Establishing the sport schedule is an important step that allows us to begin to nail down concrete planning details for the 2019 Games,” said Robinson.

The final announcement of the community update was the presentation of the 2019 Games logo, which combines the symbolic elements of the red deer, the Red Deer River and a winter star.

“We feel we have developed a logo that captures the spirit of both Red Deer and the Canada Games,” said Robinson. “As the visual mark of the host society, the logo is bold and symbolic like the 2019 Games itself.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

OPINION

Counting our blessings as Canadian citizens Canada Day is that rare opportunity to - for one day anyways – forget about our complaints about society in general and focus on the many blessings we enjoy simply by living in this amazing country.

No, life in Canada isn’t perfect. People face hardships of all kinds, and any amount of prosperity that comes our way from calling Canada home doesn’t extinguish the many harsh realities out there – especially this past year with the economic slowdown and as a result, massive job loss particularly here in Alberta, that thousands have faced.

But in the broader picture, we enjoy so many advantages and opportunities in this country that can only be dreamed about in other corners of the world.

Most of us have never known what it is to be truly hungry for any length of time. We turn on our taps and can drink the water without fear of being stricken by some deadly disease. We can worship how we choose without fear of significant oppression or governmental interference much less violence.

We have a government that, again certainly not perfect, provides many services that would be unimaginable in much of the developing world. Our health care system (yes there are flaws) is pretty much always there for us when we need it as well. Some diseases that still ravage communities in other parts of the world are pretty much memories in Canada.

Ultimately, anyone who has had the

opportunity to spend time in a developing country knows full well how privileged we are to call Canada home. Just watching the news will give a quick education into the frightening instability so many face as they fight for even some semblance of democracy in their homelands.

Even looking south of the border the political chaos makes us grateful to be Canadians. Big news in Canadian politics runs along the lines of the prime minister’s wife floating the idea of hiring an assistant.

So the freedom and peaceful society that we so often take completely for granted is certainly something to be thankful for.

Canadians have much to be proud of.

An example is an overall willingness to welcome thousands of Syrian refugees to our country who fled their homes with nothing. They arrived on Canadian soil earlier this year, and while there was much in the way of discussion upon their arrival and shortly following, we don’t really hear much about it these days. A testament that Canadians have embraced

and accepted the idea.

Canadians are known for their generosity, politeness and acceptance and this particular instance speaks volumes to that.

Certainly, these are critical things to keep in mind on July 1st when we are (hopefully) soaking up the sun and counting our blessings.

Locally, we encourage Red Deerians to take part in the festivities that will take place at Bower Ponds virtually all day on Friday hosted by the Cultural Heritage Society. Officials expect there will be roughly 9,000-10,000 people in attendance throughout the celebrations.

There will be a constant stream of performers on the stage near the pond from 11:30 a.m. right down to when the fireworks start which is around 11 p.m.

Opening ceremonies of the celebration start at around 2 p.m. with speeches and introductions to the mayor, Members of Parliament, MLAs and the president of the Cultural Heritage Society which will then be followed up by cake cutting.

The Cultural Heritage Society plans on also having many family oriented activities such as face painting, a bouncy castle and the Red Deer Native Friendship Society will have a Tipi set up as well.

The Cultural Heritage Society has been host to Canada Day celebrations in Red Deer since 1969, and will host its 50th Canada Day celebration in 2019.

DON’T DRINK & DRIVE

Killed by an impaired driver at nine and a half years old Rhonda Desjardins was nine and a half years old when her life was cut short by a drunk driver.

She was out riding her bike with a friend when she was hit from behind.

Her best friend saw the whole thing and I can’t imagine how that has affected her.

She is greatly missed by her family.

It started out a day like any other but I will never forget that day. It happened on March 13th, 1978 - 38 years ago seems like so long ago yet still fresh in our minds. I wasn’t there when the accident occurred but prior to the accident my husband and I had stopped by my parents place to see if Rhonda wanted to come shopping with us but she said she would stay with her friend as they were riding their bikes.

We were at the grocery store when I got the phone call. It was my older sister saying I had to get to the hospital right away. Rhonda had been hit by an impaired driver and he hit her so hard that she was ripped right out of her boots. I remember yelling at my husband to forget the groceries we had to go to the hos-

pital right away as they weren’t sure of her condition. We didn’t know how hard she had been hit at the time so there was still hope that she would be okay. I even joked if Rhonda was okay she would joke with everyone about having a ride in an ambulance - not so funny after.

When we walked into the hospital we knew we were too late she was already gone. Everyone was sitting in the waiting room in stunned silence like we were all sharing the same bad dream. The impaired driver didn’t even stop to see what he had hit and just drove on home like nothing was different. His wife had a baby girl a week after he killed my sister.

I hope he never has to see his daughter the way he left our sister in the ditch on the side of the road like her life didn’t matter. It mattered to us then and to this day I sometimes stop and wonder what she would have been? Would she have had a family? We will never know because of someone’s decision to drink and then drive another young life was snuffed out way before her time.

My story should end there but it

RHONDA DESJARDINS doesn’t. About 25 years later I received a phone call late at night and because it was late I knew it would be bad news so

Remember, Drinking and Driving Don’t Mix!

Have the difficult conversation Taking an impaired driver’s keys could save a life

Barb Miller MLA Red Deer South 403-340-3565

Let’s make sure Drinking and Driving becomes a thing of the Past!

I made my husband answer the phone. I was right but I didn’t expect to hear that another one of my sisters had been hit by an impaired driver. When I was told I just went blank. I don’t remember anything other than they said she was still alive after that I just dropped the phone. She is alive today and unless you knew her you wouldn’t see or maybe understand why she has not been able to work since the accident as there were many ongoing side effects from the accident that she will always live in pain of some kind. Her 13-year-old daughter was in the care with her and thankfully she wasn’t physically hurt but she was traumatized seeing her mom stuck in the car until help arrived.

The driver that hit them was impaired and driving without a valid driver’s license as this would be his seventh impaired charge. We must change the laws to save lives.

If you drink, please don’t drive. The life you save may be your own. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. It’s always okay to drive until it’s too late.

RED DEER EXPRESS 9

The intense Battle of Beaumont Hamel On July 1st, most Canadians will be celebrating the 149th anniversary of Canada (Dominion) Day. However, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, there will be more solemn commemorations.

July 1st is the 100th anniversary of the horrific Battle of Beaumont Hamel, in Northern France, which was one of the opening engagements of the infamous Battle of the Somme of the First World War. Beaumont Hamel was not the first action for the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.

The Regiment had served during the long, bloody and futile Battle of Gallipoli in what is now Turkey. In particular, the men had been part of the landings at Sulva Bay in the late summer of 1915.

The Newfoundland Regiment suffered a number of casualties. However, most of the losses were due to disease, frostbite and exposure due to the appalling conditions in the trenches.

The British commanding officer, Lieutenant General Frederick Stopford, was dismissed for incompetence.

After the disaster at Gallipoli, there was still

greatest number ever fired at one time.

Tragically, the impact was far less than expected.

The Germans were well protected in deep dugouts.

Moreover, many of the shells were defective.

The great assault of the British army commenced at 7:30 a.m. The first two waves met with disaster.

A great many men were killed or wounded within minutes by a devastating blast of German artillery and machine gun fire.

Tragically, the commanders mistook German flares for signs that the assaults were meeting with success. Consequently, the Newfoundland regiment was ordered into the battle as part of a third wave.

Again, the results were disastrous. Many men were mowed down as they proceeded down the exposed slopes of the ravine. Most had 32 kg packs on their backs and were under orders to walk steadily towards the enemy lines. This made them even easier targets for the German machine guns.

For the few who made it to the enemy lines, they found that the big artillery barrage had failed to cut any

Michael

DAWE optimism that the next major battle would be more successful. The Allied Forces were planning a new major assault. Dubbed ‘The Big Push’, the High Command felt that this would finally break the great stalemate on the Western Front that had persisted since the fall of 1914.

The Newfoundland Regiment was selected to be part of the assaults along the Somme River in Picardy, France. Their objectives were near the village of Beaumont Hamel. The position was a difficult one. The Germans were well entrenched. A deep V-shaped ravine made the site one of the strongest enemy positions along the battlefront.

A massive artillery barrage was used to soften the German defenses before the battle commenced. More than 1.5 million shells were blasted at the lines, the

major holes in the barbed wire. Consequently, several of the survivors were cut down as they tried to make it through the few gaps that did exist.

Finally, the order for retreat was given. However, the extent of the disaster was overwhelming. Of the nearly 800 men from the Newfoundland Regiment, 664 became casualties (83%).

The day was also a disaster across the Somme battlefront. More than 57,400 men became casualties, the greatest one-day losses in the history of the British army.

Tragically, the disaster did not cause the British High Command to reconsider their plans. Instead, assaults were renewed, day after day, for several weeks.

It has been calculated that an average of 2,943 men were lost, each and every day, before the Battle of the Somme finally ended in November, 1916.

The impact of Beaumont Hamel was immense. All of Newfoundland and Labrador went into mourning. As word of the disaster spread, it also hit places such as Horn Hill, east of Penhold, where there were a large

number of settlers from Newfoundland.

People were determined that the Battle never be forgotten. Hence, there is

ENTERTAINMENT Chad Brownlee brings latest tunes to Westerner Days

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS An award-winning singer, songwriter, philanthropist and former NHL draft pick, country artist Chad Brownlee is gearing up for a show at Westerner Days to showcase tunes from his latest CD Hearts on Fire.

His concert runs July 20th in the ENMAX Centrium starting at 8 p.m. Concerts are also free of charge with gate admission.

In recent years his singles have shot up the country charts, with several cracking the Top 10 including Listen, Smoke In The Rain, Crash and his current single Hearts On Fire.

“With this single, I truly feel I’ve reached another musical gear and have pushed the envelope, without losing that sound that has defined me as the artist I am today,” he explains of the tune.

It’s the title track and first single off of his fourth project Hearts On Fire, which was released earlier this year.

“There are a lot of variables that went into this new album,” he explained.

“Writing different kinds of content, finding a different melodic vibe along with the production - we brought in one of my good friends who I’ve also written a lot with - Ben Glover. He’s had a lot of experience - a few Grammy Awards to his name too! So he definitely knows what he’s doing. His ear for melody and song structure are world-class.

“So it was about bringing in different elements, plus as a songwriter I’m trying to evolve. I’ve also worked hard on my vocals to try and reach a new level,” he said, adding that projects also tend to kind of take on a life of their own.

“I always try to take an organic approach - letting the producer produce while still obviously having control over the direction. But really letting these creative minds and professionals help bring these songs to life.”

With lots of great tunes hitting the airwaves these days, not to mention a bevy of strong Canadian artists, “You can’t just put out good music - it has to be absolutely great. We knew bringing in a guy like Ben Glover would help us do that.

“The new album touches on a broad scope of topics, laden with lyrical substance,” he added. “Musically, it reflects a little of what the audience already know as me, as well as a fresh new side that has yet to be seen.

“I was really pleased with the outcome.”

Brownlee’s love for music stretches back

CLASS ACT - 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 to his youth. “I started at eight years old with the piano,” he recalls.

He later picked up the tenor sax.

“Apparently the tenor sax was way cooler than the piano.”

Finally, he opted for guitar. All during these years, a gift for singing was surfacing as well.

He was well into hockey at this point also.

When he began university at 19, a gift for songwriting started to emerge. But as his hockey career progressed, (Brownlee was a sixth round NHL draft pick for the Vancouver Canucks in 2003) repeated shoulder injuries proved an obstacle and he came to a kind of crossroads.

“I thought I was young enough - I might as well take a leap into something probably equally if not more unstable,” he laughs. “But I knew I had to do it - I’m a bit of a dream chaser and I wasn’t afraid of the gamble because I knew at the end of the day that I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I never really gave it a shot.

“So that drive and that intuition to follow what I loved to do helped me get to this place.”

His gift for songwriting was first acknowledged when he was nominated for the NCAA Hockey Humanitarian Award for his song The Hero I See in his fourth year at Minnesota State University.

His debut CD was released in 2010.

With the latest CD, he is reflective regarding his musical journey.

“I’m starting to grow to accept how incomprehensible time is. I really didn’t know what to expect when I started down this music road,” he said. “It’s like watching a bucket of water fill up one drop at a time. In the moment it may seem slow, but before you know it, the drops have filled the entire bucket.”

Following the more traditional tale of love explored in Hearts On Fire, Brownlee leaps the emotional spectrum with the track I Hate You For It. “This is my favourite song on the album.

It’s got an edge that is slightly softened

by an underlying addictive love. We can become entangled in one another. A conscious knowing of the intoxicating power one person can have over our emotions.

We lay prisoner to the chains of infatuation. Like the lyrics say, one is literally ‘punch drunk crazy’!”

In June 2014 Brownlee released his third album, The Fighters. That album featured the award winning track Just Because for which Brownlee and his fellow co-writers (Mitch Merrett, Brian White and Phil Barton) received the 2014 British Columbia Country Music Association (BCCMA) Socan Songwriter of the Year Award.

“It’s kind of ironic because my personality is very laid back - I’m not someone who wants attention drawn to them but for some reason, performing has this adrenaline that I enjoy,” he explained.

“That became something I wanted to experience over and over again. I found this comfort within it, and I never shied away from it.” editor@reddeerexpress.com

The second Praise in the Park event is set to take place in Red Deer this coming weekend.

Praise in the Park is a free, non-denominational event and it will take place on July 3rd from 3-8 p.m. at Bower Ponds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Praise in the Park is a one-day praise and worship event. Everyone is welcome and our goal is to unite the believers in Christ in Red Deer and to reach out to people who might not know Jesus - to experience Him in a very powerful way,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Sampson, lead organizer with Praise in the Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our second event and we are really hoping to make it an annual event. We really werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure last year if it would be a one time thing or if we would turn it into an annual event. But our committee met and after lots of prayer we decided this is what the Lord wants for Red Deer and we decided to continue on. It is our hope and dream to make it an annual event.â&#x20AC;?

The CrossRoads Kids Worship team will kick the day off at 3 p.m. Jon Bauer will then perform, followed by Embraced, the City-wide worship team.

Fraser Campbell will then take the stage and the event will round out with a performance by Dan Bremnes.

One new highlight of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event is the addition of a prayer tent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that we want to offer. If people want prayer or need prayer or just to pray with someone for anything, we will have a prayer team available. We are really excited

come because it is such a unique event and one of the great things about this event that I love so much is that is appeals to an audience right from one or two-years-old, all the way up to the 95-year-old seniors who were coming and bringing a lawn chair and enjoying the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bower Ponds is a great location, for one itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a beautiful setting, but there is also just people there naturally that just happen upon Praise in the Park not expecting to know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and they can enjoy the event as well,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do encourage people to bring some kind of food and drink for the afternoon because it does go over the supper hour. We will have some food options on site, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for people to be prepared.â&#x20AC;?

Parking is not available on site but organizers have arranged for alternate parking and some transportation to the site instead.

Sampson said parking will be available in the parking lot which is located west of Carnival Cinemas. Patrons can then walk a short distance over the bridge to the Bower Ponds area. There will also be golf carts which seat six that will be going between the parking lot and Bower Ponds for those who need extra assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have turned the parking lot, not closest

LIFESTYLE Fight infection like an Olympic athlete How hard would be the disappointment?

You’ve trained for years to acquire a medal at the Rio Olympics. And then the unthinkable happens. You develop a respiratory or intestinal infection just before the event. It’s an unmitigated disaster of unparalleled proportions, never to be forgotten. So, how do Olympic athletes avoid this catastrophe?

An article published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine stresses it’s not just luck that prevents infection. Rather, according to Ida Svendsen, physiologist with the Norwegian Olympic Committee, it’s attention to detail. As Leonardo Da Vinci wrote centuries ago, “Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.”

Svendsen reports that a study of 37 elite Norwegian skiers, over a nine year period, showed that those who had won medals had suffered either respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms 14 days of the year.

The non-medalists reported these symptoms 22 days annually.

So why did superbly trained athletes still get ill? They were about five times more likely to complain of infection following a commercial flight. This is not surprising when so many passengers are seated in close quarters breathing and exhaling infected air.

The stress of racing also triggers infection. Who wouldn’t be stressed when an Olympic medal is on the line? We know that nervous tension negatively affects the immune system and lowers Vitamin C. Another factor is the time of year. Both skiers and swimmers were more likely to become ill during the winter. In this case, both climate and Vitamin D played a role as the level of D is lowest in late winter and early spring.

Further advice comes from Dr. Charles Gerba at the University of Arizona, an expert on ‘fomites’, namely objects that are liable to carry germs.

He says the first thing to remember is that bugs are everywhere on an airplane.

So, never ask for an aisle seat as it’s the one most likely to be contaminated.

Just watch people going back and forth to the bathroom on a plane. They touch every aisle seat to steady themselves when walking back to their own seating.

A study conducted by the Center for Disease Control showed the aisle seat was the one more likely to carry a virus.

The public toilet is ground zero for bugs everywhere.

Dr. Gifford

JONES But in the air many people don’t wash their hands after using the toilet. Besides, Gerba says, even the sink may be contaminated. So, what awaits you on the aisle seat may be fecal bacteria, norovirus, seasonal flu or the common cold.

I’d suggest that athletes, and everyone else, should clean the pull-down tray with Clorox wipes, and also use hand sanitizers. In one study, the deadly Staphylococcus, was found on 60% of trays.

Studies show that Vitamin C is vitally

important in building immunity to colds and preventing serious diseases such as pneumonia.

So it’s important to have sufficient amounts of Vitamin C in your blood at all times to energize the immune system.

Why? Because immune cells have Vitamin C transporter molecules imbedded in their membranes and these pump C into cells when more is required.

Consequently, when infection occurs, these molecules increase their activity to ensure that cells have as much as 100 times more Vitamin C than present in their blood. But this transfer is not possible unless the blood always has a reservoir of C. This means you must take Vitamin C every day.

Vitamin C also has an effect on antibod-

ies that attack invading bacteria. It does this by increasing the level of antibodies known as IgA, IgB and IgM which are the first ones to respond to infection.

But suppose you are not an Olympic athlete? Studies show that 23% of North Americans have low levels of Vitamin C affecting their immune system.

Researchers say this can cause unexplained fatigue and mind fog. That skin boils can be helped by as little as 1,000 milligrams a day. And that elderly people are at increased risk of cancer as the immune system ages.

High doses of Vitamin C powder and pills are as close as your Health Food Store. And what is good for Olympic athletes is also good for you.

Maskwacis Youth Photovoice Exhibit unveiled

BY CYRIL BRABANT RED DEER EXPRESS Red Deerians get a private look into the community with the unveiling of the new Maskwacis Youth Photovoice Exhibit at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.

The project started with 11 youth from Maskwacis ages 15-19 going around their community and take pictures, capturing how they personally view and see their community as strong and healthy.

“We worked with four youth, mainly,” said Melissa Tremblay, research assistant with the University of Alberta’s Pediatrics Department. “We also engaged seven youth from the Ermineskin Junior Senior High School. Different schools in Maskwacis identify these youth as being really motivated, committed and suitable for the project.”

Tremblay has worked with Dr. Lola Baydala, a pediatrician and professor who works at the Maskwacis Health Centre for the past five years.

After working within the community and becoming accustomed to the people that live in Maskwacis and learning about their personal views on the resilience and strength of the community, Tremblay said the project started in June of last year. She added they worked with Bert Crowfoot, a First Nations photographer who is best known for his photography of Aboriginal events and cultural knowledge, and Ingrid Kellen, a photographer from Maskwacis.

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION - From left, Maria Buffalo and Melissa Tremblay pose for a portrait in front of the Maskwacis Youth Photovoice Exhibit hosted at the Red Deer Regional Hospital.

Cyril Brabant/Red Deer Express Kellen and Crowfoot worked with the youth in training them on photography.

“We’re really appreciative to have the opportunity to have them here at the Red Deer Hospital permanently,” said Tremblay, of the exhibit.

Tremblay said that the pediatrics department at the U of A have other exhibits in different hospitals such as the Wetaskiwin hospital, the U of A’s hospital and at its faculty of extension.

“I’m really thankful for this experience,” said Maria Buffalo, one of the youth photographers who was part of the project. “For the people I’ve met and the places I’ve been and how well received our pictures have been.

“It truly is something I’m very passionate about and I’m very happy that everyone else is enjoying it.”

Tremblay said the purpose of the project was to showcase the core values of strength, love and resilience within the community, because they believe that there are negative presumptions and stereotypes about the community outside of Maskwacis regarding crime and violence.

“We wanted to re-frame those preconceptions about the community by showing there’s a beautiful positive side to it,” said Tremblay.

The youth involved with the project worked for months, taking pictures, learning about their community and using the project as an outlet to voice their opinions.

“I didn’t know there was something that we needed, something so many people were excited for,” said Buffalo. “It’s showing how

I see my community to other people and how they resonate with that. How that connects to them and how they stop and think, ‘Oh wow I’ve never seen that or I’ve never bothered to look at it that way’.

“That really connected with me, the support and how people were out there, like Melissa to give us opportunities and helps us. I believe it is very important to break the stereotypes and everything in media, the world and politics because we are a fast growing population and we’ve been here for a long time, going unnoticed.”

When asked about what she was most passionate about and what she wanted to share with people with her photography, Buffalo spoke about her love for nature and the earth.

“I think we could learn a lot from our Mother Earth, the teachings she gives us and I think that’s something people often take for granted, and we need to stop and pay attention to it because we only have one earth and one life and we need to take care of it.”

The exhibit was first brought to the attention of Allan Sinclair, the executive director at the hospital, by one of his colleagues and they believed it would be a good way of showing the hospital is welcome to all and is looking to improve its sense of inclusion.

“This, to us, is one of the ways we can reach out to the First Nations, Metis and Inuit,” said Sinclair.

“Whether you’re from the culture, you’re interested in it, or if you know someone

who’s from that background, we want to do the best job we can to be as inviting and as welcoming as possible.

“The more welcoming it is for a sub-population to come into the hospital and feel they’re welcome here,

the better they’re going to be through their stay, and the better they’re going to be when they go back home.”

The exhibit is welcome for all to view on the first and second floors of the hospital. student@reddeerexpress.com

Two Red Deer Rebels picked up during draft

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS Two members of the Red Deer Rebels took a big step forward in their hockey careers last Saturday when they were selected in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.

“I’m excited. It was a crazy weekend for me and my family. I’m just overwhelmed,” said Rebels’ defenseman Josh Mahura, who was taken in the third round, 85th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in Saturday’s draft.

Mahura, along with 2016 Red Deer Rebels Hardest Working Player Brandon Hagel, were both in their first year of draft eligibility.

“It’s quite the feeling. It’s a dream come true, for sure. Not many people get this opportunity and it’s one of the best moments of my life so far, that’s for sure,” said Hagel, who was taken in the sixth round by the Buffalo Sabres.

This season was a bit of a breakout year for the 17-yearold left wing from Morinville who scored 13 goals and added 34 assists for 47 points without missing a single game in his rookie year in the WHL. “I think it helped me out a little bit but I thought just what I had to do throughout the season for me to get to that point and how I developed helped me out a lot,” said Hagel of the impressive season he managed to put up.

He also said he was surprised to hear his name called by the Sabres while watching the draft on TV with his family.

“I had never talked to them all year, so it was a little bit surprising. I was watching it on TV with my family and I found out on TV and then I got a call, probably about 10 minutes after,” he said.

“There was just excitement throughout my entire family.

They were super excited that I got to this point. I was just kind of shocked that a year from now playing in midget, I wasn’t thinking that this day was going to come and I guess the work paid off.”

DRAFTED - Red Deer Rebels forward Brandon Hagel celebrated a goal during the WHL playoffs last season.

Hagel, along with teammate Josh Mahura, was selected in this year’s NHL Entry Draft this past Saturday.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express

The 2016 season went a little differently for Mahura, who spent all but two regular season games on the sidelines with a serious knee injury suffered in the Rebels’ home opener this year.

“For me a lot of it was just looking at the bigger picture.

Obviously when I first found out what had happened to me and how long I’d be out for I was really disappointed. So to rise above that was just knowing that I’d for sure be playing in May with the

team and I wanted to be back for playoffs,” he said.

The smooth skating defenseman managed to do just that as he made his return to the ice for the Rebels’ first playoff series against the Calgary Hitmen and played a key defensive role in every one of his team’s matchups during their deep playoff run and during the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup tournament.

“I think the playoffs helped in getting me some views and I

think the Memorial Cup helped me in that way too, just getting me those extra viewings that I didn’t get throughout the season.”

The 18-year-old Edmonton native said the Ducks must have seen some potential in him during the time that he did play this year.

“I think they saw some potential in me. Obviously I didn’t play too much this year, but I think they see me as a mobile guy and a guy that can fit into the organi-

zation whenever they see fit and being a contributor.”

Now both players are preparing to attend their respective NHL teams’ prospect camps, with Mahura leaving for Anaheim this Wednesday and Hagel expecting to jet off to Buffalo sometime in early to mid-July.

“It’s been crazy, I don’t even know if I’ve wrapped my head around it all yet. I’m excited to get out there,” said Mahura of his impending trip.

“I’m anticipating probably a working week and having fun with it too.”

Hagel echoed that sentiment, noting that he’s looking forward to meeting the other prospects and getting to know the new team.

“I’ll be up against a lot of good hockey players and I’ve just kind of got to stick to my game and show them what I can do,” he said, adding part of the reason he thinks the Sabres had interest in him was his work ethic.

“People see me as a hard working player that has some good hockey sense. If I was to take people’s word for it, and how I feel as well, I think it was my work ethic and my hockey sense.”

Both Mahura and Hagel will likely be back with the Rebels next season after attending prospect camp and training camp at the beginning of the year.

“I’m planning on going in and working and trying to be a big part of the team next year and trying to take on a bigger leadership role. I think we’re going to be a good team next year, we’re going to compete,” Mahura said.

“The next step is getting that contract. So I want to come into the season as a key player next year and develop a ton,” Hagel added.

The Red Deer Rebels pre-season gets underway on Sept. 5th when they host the Edmonton Oil Kings at the ENMAX Centrium.

Their first regular season game is on Sept. 26th at home, also against the Oil Kings.

Titans remain undefeated heading into break

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The Red Deer Titan’s Men’s Divison 3 Rugby Club are feeling pretty good about their season so far after going undefeated through the first half of the season as they head into the mid-season break.

“So far so good. We’re still undefeated at this point and we’re about halfway through the year,” said Titans’ Head Coach Mike Berry.

After six games this season, the Titans stand at a perfect 6-0 record after they defeated the Rams 38-12 on Friday night in Red Deer in their last league game until late July.

“It’s kind of unfortunate that we have so few games in the next couple of months because of the Stampede and Westerner Days, the long weekend. But we have a couple of exhibition games in July, so it’s not such a long break,” said Berry.

The Club, Berry said, has really started to gel together over the course of the season.

“I like that the guys are getting together off of the field. Everybody’s starting to gel as a group. Everybody’s having fun, which is great, both on and off the field,” he said, adding the key now is to remain focused.

“There’s still stuff to develop on as a group. The record is nice to have but it makes things tough, as well, to tell guys that we need to kind of fix

things even though we are winning.

It’s definitely a good feeling though.”

One thing Berry said he’d like to see his team work on is their defence.

“Our defensive structures on how we move forward, but that’s just more practice and we’ll focus on that kind of stuff.”

While the Titans’ next league game isn’t until the end of July, they do have a couple of exhibition matches lined up in the intervening time including one against the Outback Barbarians from Australia on July 5th and one against the RAPTC RFC of the British Armed Forces Merit League 2 on July 14th.

Both games will be played at Titans Rugby Park.

“We’ll have to keep in shape. With contact being quite a bit of the sport we’ve got to keep the guys quite physical. With the weather hopefully getting warmer we’ll have to work on fitness levels,” said Berry, adding the toughest part may be keeping the team interested throughout the break.

That maintained interest and physicality will be especially important when they return to league play, because after that initial matchup in July the team has just two games in August before their final league game on Sept. 10th. Right after that it’s into playoffs.

“We just want to keep doing what

we’ve done through the whole year.

At this point, with just four games left, we just want to focus on what we’ve done so far and build towards playoffs,” Berry said, adding the goal is to end up in the provincial final against the winner of the Edmonton league.

To do that, though, they’ll have to win the Calgary Rugby Union championship.

“In order to get there we have to develop as a group and focus on the little things.”

The Red Deer Titans Men’s Divison 3 team is back in action on July 5th for a Touring Side exhibition game against the Outback Barbarians.

Game time is at 7:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, the Titans Senior Women picked up a 55-12 victory over the Saracens on Saturday in Calgary and in junior action the U13 Boys team were not able to come away with a win over the Saints at Irish Field in Calgary on Saturday despite a big comeback push. U15 Boys picked up a dominating 61-0 victory over the Saints immediately after to remain undefeated on the season heading into playoffs.

Both junior teams will take part in the U18 Alberta Regional Championship Tournament this weekend in Calgary before heading into some playoff games in the coming month.

HOMES & LIVING

COZY - This bedroom in a NewRock Developments show home in Aspen Lakes in Blackfalds shows how a splash of colour can make a small space come alive.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express

Bringing your hopes and desires in with home decor What is the dream? You know you have it; we all have it! The dream to move by the ocean or to live in a log cabin off the grid or to find an abandoned loft space to create into a beautiful abode. Every one of us has that secret desire for a huge shift in lifestyle and if all fear and obligation was removed we all know exactly what we would do.

For some of you, it is the desire to get out of the city and to revel in quiet nights staring at the moon listening to the crickets. It is a longing in your soul to have a few animals and maybe raise your own chickens (fresh eggs everyone!) in a quiet, pastoral setting. Your heart’s desire is to build a rustic log home surrounded by trees and songbirds with a rustic yet stylish interior which has a soaring stone wood burning fireplace that you can curl up in front of on cold

Kim

WYSE winter evenings. You imagine yourself embracing a simpler life as you learn new ways of creativity and food preparation in your humble kitchen. Carrying only the load of what you truly need, this type of living ripples over your conscious thought like a soft waft of smoke drifting across dewy grass.

You may be the individual who wants to live in a condo by the ocean with your time and home maintenance as free as the waves upon the shore. You spend your days hiking and traversing mountain trails and sea sides picking drift-

wood and stones to adorn your cool and contemporary abode. At night you dine at a trendy restaurant and hop down to have a sit on a moonlit bay as you revel in the rhythmic sounds of nature undulating all around you. As you retire to your low maintenance property you rest easy dreaming about the next days adventures; will it be a winery tour or maybe hopping on a cruise ship or a plane just to see more of your chosen province?

The adventurer wants an undiscovered and unique place to call home.

The search is intense for a one of a kind property or abandoned building to make into the lair of their dreams. No building is too abandoned or too ragged for this brave soul and they see potential and beauty in every brick and every crumbling window sill. This may be a property in a bustling city or industrial neighbour-

hood or it may be on an abandoned acre in rural areas. Either way the glory is in the finding and the victory is within your grasp as you plan the perfect renovation.

Your life in an RV for a few months of summer only adds to the adventure as you live free spirited while creating your unique and adventurous home.

Whatever the dream, it may not be immediately at hand but it is possible to create niches or spaces within your current life to give your soul a taste of the good life. Whether you desire the quiet of the country or the hum of a big city, it is possible to bring those elements to your home now with collections and memories from those unique and special places.

TRAVEL

CULTURAL EXPERIENCE - Ketchikan, Alaska is one of the many stops to expect when you take a five day trip out of Vancouver aboard the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas. photo submitted

A satisfying trip via Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas Alaska cruising season starts in the early part of May and ends around the middle of September. I recently had the opportunity to sail on a five day cruise out of Vancouver with stops in Ketchikan, Alaska and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, on the recently updated Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas.

The best part of sailing out of Vancouver is the quick flight, which makes the Alaska Cruises a favourite for many in the western provinces. Although you can easily fly in and out the same day as your cruise begins and ends, we still recommend that you start your holiday early and go in at least one day prior to departure. Vancouver is a beautiful city and there are great hotels to choose from to complete your overnight stay. If your hotel is close to the cruise port you can take the Sky Train from the airport.

You can always take a taxi from the end of Canada Line to your hotel. Of course your other option is to take one of the many taxis that line outside of the airport or the cruiseline transfers if you are arriving the day of departure. The cost varies depending on what zone you are travelling to.

If you do decide to go in the day before

there is so much to see and do in Vancouver.

Vancouver has the beautiful Stanley Park, Granville Island, Grouse Mountains and Capalino Suspension Bridge, to name a few. As with all major cities, purchasing a hop-on, hop-off pass is a great way to see the highlights. If you are looking at having a longer holiday, a trip to Whistler is always worth it.

The pier at Canada Place is the main cruise terminal and where the cruises depart from. The boarding process was quick and easy and it was nice that our room was ready for us so we could quickly start exploring the ship. Sailing out of Vancouver is absolutely stunning and you need to make sure that you are up on top to view the Vancouver Skyline.

This is such a great itinerary as you can sit in your balcony and see the beautiful scenery as you float by.

Our first stop was Ketchikan and in typical fashion it was rainy and foggy. I did have the float plane to the Misty Fjords booked. However, due to the weather it was cancelled, and while it was certainly disappointing you had to respect the safety concerns that took place.

Some of my fellow franchise partners booked into the Deadliest Catch shore excursions and by all accounts this was an excursion that was a highlight to many.

With the extra time now on my hands, I went and walk through the town and made my way to the historic City of Ketchikan.

There is lots of shopping opportunities for you but if you really want to support the local economy make sure you purchase from an Alaskan family. Not from one of the many stores that only come into town for the cruise season and depart for the rest of the year. Two of my favourites are the Rain Barrell and Caribou Creek. Of course you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to Ketchikan without stopping at The Fish House for some amazing fish chowder and their Cod or Halibut fish and chips. You can stop and watch them prepare the fish for everyone.

The list is endless on what you can see and do in Ketchikan or if you like to just wander and experience the local community you are free to do so.

Our next step was at Prince Rupert.

I was disappointed that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to explore this unique little community. We had our awards ceremony here and it was

4"7& VQ UP

amazing that this community could put on a such a great meal for 300-plus people. The food was endless, service was extraordinary, all in which was a reflection of the locals.

The people are beyond amazing in every aspect. If I was to go back I would definitely go out on a whale tour or just spend my time walking the community to get to know more about the locals.

One more day of sailing and we were back in Vancouver. The disembarkation was quick and easy. Since I had a flight out from Vancouver later that day, I just hopped on the Sky Train which is across the street from the pier and in just 20 minutes I was back to the airport for the flight home.

I cannot express to you that for a such a quick and beautiful cruise, it did the trick.

I had enough time to relax and take in the scenery. There were two ports where I could be enriched by those around me, and a painless flight to get me to and from port. I will definitely consider this for my next trip that just needs to be a getaway, not a bank buster holiday.
