RED DEER EXPRESS 3

Local woman develops cooking show for young foodies Just One Bite is set to air first episode on Sept. 12th on ShawTV

BY KALISHA MENDONSA RED DEER EXPRESS

A

Red Deer local is looking forward to the launch of a brand new collaborative cooking show with young foodies titled Just One Bite, set to premiere this month.

Creator, Access Producer and Host Meg Tucker is being joined by 10 young Albertans to experience the joy of trying new food, experimenting in a kitchen and of course, enjoying their creations. The show’s first episode will air on ShawTV on Sept. 12th at noon and 7 p.m.

“For me this show is just a no-brainer. I’ve always wanted to do this. I love to cook and I love kids,” Tucker said.

“Kids are so innocent, they don’t have a filter and they are honest and funny. I get such joy from them. I love being an auntie to my little nieces and nephews, they bring me such a sense of joy. I thought it would be great to do a show with kids and not just a show where we say, ‘Measure this, and stir this.’

“The whole concept of our show is to give kids ‘just one bite’ of certain ingredients and talk about those ingredients and that’s where it’s fun. Some of the kids love what they’re trying and some of them are hysterical, spitting out their food and saying it’s the worst thing they’ve ever eaten. It’s fun.”

Just One Bite will work collaboratively with children to teach them about trying new foods, experimenting in the kitchen and developing a love of cooking. Tucker said the process has been an absolute joy from start to finish, and she is very excited to see the final product.

She added it was a bit of a learning experience to actually work with the kids, but one that she thoroughly enjoyed.

“It is a different process working with kids. You can produce the show and map it out seven ways to Sunday, but when you’re actually there with a little kid beside you, you have to really break it down.,” she said.

“For example, I pick up a can and open it without thinking, but some kids might not have ever held a can opener and that’s

a new experience for them. It’s so back to basics and it was fun for me to realize and learn on the spot how step by step you need to be with kids. I think that is something that we, as adults working with kids, forget.

“If you have a chance to let kids learn, it’s amazing how they take to it.”

“IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LET KIDS LEARN, IT’S AMAZING HOW THEY TAKE TO IT.” MEG TUCKER

Tucker has had some experience with cooking shows as a contestant on Master Chef Canada, season two. She said she enjoyed her time in that program and felt encouraged to pursue her love of cooking and develop new opportunities for herself.

She added she enjoyed the experience, but was looking for a non-competitive environment while developing the child-friendly concept. She was thrilled with the community response to the open call for kids to join and enjoyed the process of finding her young co-stars.

“We asked kids to send in a little video showing them being creative and telling me who they were and why they wanted to be on the show. We received videos from all over Alberta and the kids were so cute. I loved watching how excited they were,” she said.

“One little girl was dressed up in a full chef outfit and was behind a little booth that looked like a smoothie stand and she worked through her whole recipe and adding ingredients like love - it was just enough to break your heart with sweetness.

“For me, this show really re-enforced that this truly is what I want to be doing. I love cooking with kids. They are so innocent and adorable and kind. We had 10 kind, sweet, smart little kids who loved food and wanted to

That’s what this show is about for me.”

Tucker said the experience has also been a little emotional due to the excitement and engagement she sees in the children participating and in the response from their parents on the kids’ participation.

“Something that made me well up was getting an email from one of the moms of a young girl on our show telling me they had to stop at the grocery store on the way home from the taping and buy fresh fennel for the girl

to cook with at home. The mom told me her daughter obviously wanted more than just one bite.

That to me was amazing - if one kid can go home after shooting or watching the show and want to try something new, that’s fantastic,” Tucker said.

“It’s definitely been life-changing, even though we’ve only shot four episodes so far,” she said with a laugh.

“It’s been awesome.”

The show will be broadcast on television, but will also be available online at justonebite.ca. The

episodes will run for two weeks and then a new episode will air.

Tucker said there is already talk of more episodes to be filmed.

She said she is excited for the experience and is looking forward to the final product.

“People love watching kids. We haven’t even aired yet and this is being received really well. I’m so proud of these 10 Alberta kids who have taken part in this. I feel like a proud mama thanks to all the wonderful kids from around the province who joined me for this.” kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS Coming together was the central theme of the morning in City Hall Park on Tuesday as citizens and community organizations from around Central Alberta gathered as Sheldon Kennedy announced plans for a new Child Advocacy Centre in Red Deer.

The new Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre will bring together people and organizations from the community to offer a variety of services to children, youth, and families that have been impacted by child abuse.

“That’s what these issues need. We need to be able to share important information in the best interests of the child so that we can have the best outcomes.

I’m here to support and help in any way we can,” said Sheldon Kennedy, a former National Hockey League player and longtime child abuse advocate.

The new Centre, which is being spearheaded by a committee of local volunteers, will be modelled after the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre in Calgary and will create a single space that brings together the RCMP, Alberta Health Services, Child and Family Services and Mental Health and Addictions to help streamline the effective use of resources to effectively and efficiently investigate and resolve child abuse cases.

Mark Jones, the co-chair of the CAC committee and a former principal at Central Middle School in Red Deer, said the sharing of information between organizations greatly reduces the burden on a victim.

“I’ll give you a situation of a child who

disclosed that they were being sexually abused. So they do the disclosure to me as the administrator. It’s my responsibility to phone Child and Family Services,” said Jones, adding then the child is taken through a series of interviews with various organizations, including the Child and Family Services and in-depth interviews with the RCMP. “When we went to the Sheldon Kennedy Centre, what we saw was them interview that child in one room. Everybody together, it’s a taped interview. Over 90 per cent of those interviews the child has to do one interview, one time and it’s done.

That, to me is monumental.”

Kennedy said true integration is the ultimate goal when it comes to dealing with cases of child abuse.

“To me this isn’t an end-game. To me this is about progress and to keep making progress, continuous progress. I do know this - when we work together, we’re better. End of story.”

While no plans are set in stone in terms of location and costs of the Centre, Jones said the coalition has been discussing a number of different options.

“Whether we have a stand alone building or we have a centre where we can have lots of opportunities to have other agencies in there. We’re still in the discussion stages of that. Our hope is to have that finalized hopefully in the next 90 to 120 days.”

On Sept. 15th, the committee is hosting a screening of the Sheldon Kennedy documentary Swift Current at the Red Deer College Arts Centre. Jones said the screening will be a launch pad for other fundraising initiatives. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

OPINION

New Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre welcomed On Tuesday our City received some tremendous news, thanks in part to some strong community advocates.

It was announced the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre will be coming to Red Deer.

Since the first Child Advocacy Centre (CAC) was launched in the U.S. in 1985, CACs have become recognized internationally as an effective and efficient way to support child and youth victims of sexual and physical assault.

CACs increase collaboration, reduce costs and speed up prosecutions.

The newly announced Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre in Red Deer will become the 26th of its kind across Canada.

There are four main types of child abuse, according to the Sheldon Kennedy CAC web site.

These include emotional abuse which can be, “Verbal attacks on a child’s sense of self, repeated humiliation or rejection.

“Exposure to violence, drugs, alcohol abuse or severe conflict in the home,

forced isolation, restraint or causing a child to be afraid much of the time may also cause emotional harm. Emotional abuse rarely happens only once and it is usually part of a pattern of how the child is being treated.”

Neglect is another form of abuse which includes, “Any lack of care that causes serious harm to a child’s development or endangers the child in any way. Physical neglect is the failure to meet the child’s day-to-day basic needs. This includes failing to provide adequate nutrition, clothing, shelter, health care and protection from harm.

“Emotional neglect is the failure to meet the child’s ongoing emotional needs for affection and a sense of belonging.”

Physical and sexual abuse are also listed as types of abuse.

In Alberta, there are 775,175 children aged 0-17 years and 14,400 of those children sustained cases of child abuse, according to the web site.

The news of the CAC coming to Red

Deer is definitely a positive one.

Any supports that can be offered to children who have suffered any kind of abuse is a welcomed one.

One local family was instrumental in bringing the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre to our community.

This month marks the one year anniversary since Rick and Cindy More lost their 22-year-old daughter Lindsey.

She took her own life last fall after battling severe depression for a number of years.

The couple knew Lindsey struggled with depression, but they did not realize how difficult that struggle was.

After Lindsey’s death, Rick and Cindy have decided to turn their personal tragedy into hope for others.

Together with help from community members, they have developed the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation via the Red Deer and District Community Foundation which is geared towards providing financial help to young adults, teens and

children dealing with depression.

Rick has also met with local politicians in the last year in hopes of raising awareness in the community.

For more information about the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation, check out their facebook page.

As for the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre, details are yet to come regarding the facility but we know there will be many ways in which the community can help.

Whether it be by fundraising, volunteering time or just bringing overall awareness, there will be something for everyone to get involved with.

It is a positive thing to see supports geared towards helping the youth in our community. We look forward to seeing what the impacts will be once the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre is up and running in the City, but one thing we know for sure is that impacts will be positive and this will only enhance our community as a whole.

Climate change policies exacting a painful economic toll Alberta’s Finance Minister, Joe Ceci, was more glum than usual when he delivered his recent economic update. A report by Kevin Birn of HIS Energy, called The State of Canadian and U.S. Climate Policy helps explain why.

Barry

COOPER It was mentioned by Financial Post columnist Claudia Catteneo last week and is of interest to all Albertans.

The report takes as given that governments around the world, and most important for us, the governments of the U.S. and

Canada, are crafting public policies to deal with ‘climate change’. These policies target so-called greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions, especially CO2, so that ‘climate change’ really means anthropogenic climate warming. At the intersection of ‘climate change’ and public policy are the oil sands.

Contrary to what many NDP supporters and many of my colleagues believe, businesses are more likely to respond to government policies than to set them.

One of the responses to egregiously irresponsible policies is to invest elsewhere.

The Birn report did not discuss the scientific premises of anthropogenic climate warming nor the prudence of attempting to regulate GHG emissions.

What matters are the consequences of policy

choices by the federal governments of Canada and the U.S. for Alberta (and Saskatchewan).

Here are some pertinent facts.

The interdependence of North American economies and the familiar 10:1 ratio between the two countries means that Canada must always adjust its policies to U.S. realities. That ratio applies to global CO2 emissions (16% for the U.S.; 1.7% for Canada, of which the oil sands’ contribution is miniscule) as well as to GDP and much else. Canada’s CO2 emissions are comparable to those of Texas. The big difference is how that CO2 is generated.

Coal is the largest source of the U.S.’s CO2, mostly from electricity generation, followed by transportation and industry. In Canada, industry – from

fertilizer manufacture to mining, smelting and pulp production – is the largest emitter, followed by transportation and then e l e c t r i c i t y - g e n e ra t i o n .

The main reason for the difference is that in B.C. and Laurentian Canada (Ontario and Quebec), hydroelectricity is the chief source of power. Prairie rivers furnish great fishing opportunities but few electrons.

Since CO2 from U.S. coal-fired plants alone are double those from the entire Canadian economy, they have been the focus of U.S. policies. Replacing coal-generation with natural gas has been made easier by low natural gas prices, partly the result of innovative shale-gas exploitation.

In Canada, things are different. Because more than 80% of Canadian electricity

is generated by non-emitting sources, other sectors must be targeted to achieve levels of emission reductions comparable to the Americans’. The cost, however, is bound to be higher: here cheap gas hardly matters.

This is what makes carbon taxes so attractive to Canadian governments.

They can’t go after coal plants because there are so few left, so they go after the entire economy. Alberta’s carbon tax and Ontario’s cap-andtrade policy mean that more than two-thirds of Canada’s emissions will be covered by next year.

Big-government Liberals, socialists, and members of the Green cult will rejoice that we are saving the planet. However, the costs of the new NEP, the National Emissions Policy, achieved by carbon-tax

harmonization, will introduce more incentives for investment in places where anthropogenic climate change is not an unquestioned public policy dogma.

Because the prairie petroleum industry competes globally for both capital and markets, parochial Canadian climate policies both add to costs and induce investors abroad. And they make no difference at all to global GHG emissions.

That is one reason why energy investment in Alberta is half 2014 levels. No wonder Joe Ceci is sad. The consequences of his party’s own policies are bearing their inevitably poisoned fruit.

Council to take another look at secondary suites

BY ERIN FAWCETT RED DEER EXPRESS One City councillor wants to lower the amount of secondary suites in Red Deer neighbourhoods.

Councillor Lawrence Lee put forward a Notice of Motion at last week’s council meeting. The motion stated secondary suites provided an alternate housing option particularly during the economic upswing when housing options were limited, but are less required and desired now that a great variety of house options are routinely available.

Currently 15% of the total number of detached dwelling units within a neighbourhood are permitted to have secondary suites, without limitations to the number on a specific street or area. Lee said in his motion that this can result in clustering of secondary suites resulting in neighbourhood impacts in terms of density, noise, traffic, parking, etc.

Because of this, Lee has proposed the overall percentage of secondary suites within a given neighbourhood be reduced to 10% of the total number of detached units. He has also proposed the total of secondary suites on any street be limited to no more than 10% of the total number of detached dwelling

units on that street.

During last week’s meeting, Lee’s Notice of Motion was tabled for up to 12 weeks so administration could look at the data gathered and bring back a recommendation to council.

“There are a couple of neighbourhoods over 15 per cent with the majority of neighbourhoods under 10 per cent,” said Lee. The neighbourhoods exceeding the 15% limit include the South Hill with 22% and West Park (east) with 16%. Michener Hill is also approaching the cap at 14.17%.

“Ultimately my intention with this Notice of Motion is to reduce secondary suites all across the City overall. I don’t think they are as accountable or as safe for the community as buildings that are actually built for multi-family dwellings,” said Lee. “I think secondary suites were a temporary measure to address a housing crisis that was in the City.

“I believe the better choices are the choices that are built for, planned for and developed as affordable or multi- family housing, as opposed to I want somebody to help pay my mortgage so I am going to put them in a suite, but all of those other building considerations never come into play.”

Lee made the Notice of Motion after sitting on the Municipal

Planning Commission and seeing multiple applications for secondary suites come to MPC for approval.

“I get to talk to a lot of people and see the letters that are submitted with a lot of second-

ary suite applications. I see the objections that are being submitted and a lot of those arise around elements of safety, parking issues, the care and condition of those secondary suites, neighbourhood appeal and de-

valuation of market - I saw those starting to come to fruition,” he said.

“I think this is the start to move towards better neighbourhood planning.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

POLICE BRIEFS MEN ARRESTED AFTER SEARCH WARRANT The arrest of two men by Innisfail RCMP on Aug. 26th led to a search warrant involving the Priority Crimes Task Force and the seizure of multiple firearms from a vehicle and an Innisfail residence.

The investigation began on Aug. 26th shortly before 2:30 a.m. when Innisfail RCMP initiated a check on a suspicious vehicle. Police took a male driver and male passenger into custody without incident and seized a loaded shotgun and ammunition that were in the vehicle; both men were on court ordered firearms prohibitions at the time of their arrest. RCMP further seized a number of firearms and ammunition from the vehicle under the authority of a search warrant.

Those arrests led to the involvement of the Priority Crimes Task Force in a further investigation, which resulted in a search warrant being executed at a residence on 38th St. Cresc. in Innisfail the morning of Aug. 26th. During this search, RCMP seized one SKS rifle, brass knuckles and ammunition.

Brandon Jonathan Mulrooney, 21, of Innisfail has been charged with six counts of possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle, seven counts of possession of a weapon contrary to prohibition, possession of a firearm without a license, two counts of possession of a firearm contrary to prohibition and possession of a controlled substance.

Vincent Luigino Vanin, 25, of Innisfail has been charged with six counts of possession of a loaded weapon in a vehicle and eight counts of breach of recognizance.

RCMP INVESTIGATING SUSPICIOUS MALE Just before 7 a.m. Sept. 3rd, RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious male trying to get into a residence window in the Riverside Meadows area. The RCMP were unable to locate this suspicious male.

The incident involved a male who removed a screen on a ground floor bedroom window and was knocking

on the window. He left when a resident in the home told him to leave. He is described as dark skinned and wearing a black toque.

On July 23rd a similar incident was reported where a male had opened an unlocked bedroom window at a basement residence in Riverside Meadows. He did not enter the residence but spoke some words to the resident who was in the bedroom. He left when told to leave. No physical description was obtained although he is described as having an accent.

The RCMP cannot confirm that these incidents are related. They are currently under investigation. In neither incident did the suspicious male enter the bedroom, nor was anyone injured.

Home owners are reminded to be diligent about securing windows; particularly ground floor windows. Motion detector lights and minimal shrubbery around windows are recommended. If you see any activity or persons that seem suspicious, report it immediately via 911.

Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to call the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575 or at Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

MAN ARRESTED AFTER HOSPITAL LOCK DOWN Red Deer RCMP took a man into custody without incident after he allegedly uttered threats that resulted in the Red Deer Regional Hospital going into lock down for almost an hour last night.

RCMP responded to a report at 8 p.m. on Aug. 31st that threats had been uttered toward the hospital and its staff. The suspect had attended the hospital then left again without receiving treatment, and a threat was subsequently phoned in to the hospital. The hospital staff locked down the hospital and called RCMP, who attended the hospital to contain the area and search for the suspect. At the same time, more RCMP officers were deployed to the suspect’s Kentwood residence, where he was located at approximately 8:40 p.m.

The suspect was cooperative with police and was taken

by Erin Fawcett into custody without incident.

The lockdown was lifted immediately and the hospital resumed their normal work.

During the lockdown, patient services inside the hospital were not interrupted. No one was injured in this incident and RCMP did not locate any weapons at the suspect’s residence.

The 22-year-old Red Deer man will face a charge of uttering threats and will un-

dergo a mental health assessment. RCMP are not releasing his name at this time as charges have not been sworn before the courts.

MORE TAX PHONE SCAMS Red Deer RCMP have received reports from Red Deerians who have received phone messages from scammers claiming to be calling from Canada Revenue Agency. In a

new variation on an old scam, many of the calls are now pre-recorded automated messages claiming that the person they have contacted owes money in taxes and leaving a call back number.

As with any call a citizen receives requesting money, Red Deer RCMP urge citizens to independently verify the claims of any caller by hanging up, looking up the phone number for Canada Revenue Agency

(or whichever organization the caller claims to represent) and calling them directly. Do not call back to a number given out by the person calling you.

Though scammers may use ‘number spoofing’ to make it look like they’re calling from a local phone number or the number of a business or agency, the scammers are usually located outside of Canada, making it impossible for RCMP to locate them.

“How to Get Rid of Your Back & Neck Pain for Good!”

Dear Friend and Fellow Back and Neck Pain Sufferer:

I

What about YOU? What would you do and enjoy if your pain was gone and you could move and play? I can guarantee your life would be better than it is now!

Imagine what your life could be like WITHOUT back and neck pain. You could get your old life back. You could enjoy life again.

“Pain Gone! At Last, Here is the Natural Solution to Ridding Yourself of Back and Neck Pain Forever!”

You suffer and have repeatedly seen doctors in the past few days, weeks and months because of your constant pain.

If you have, you’ve likely received this advice: pain drugs or physiotherapy or…both. If those two don’t help, you are then told: “You’ll have to learn to live with your pain or have surgery.” I don’t know about you . . . but neither of these options sound appealing to me.

You’ve been to your chiropractor.

They did everything they could. You’ve had acupuncture. Nothing has helped.

What are YOU supposed to do? Just suffer? The thought of a lifetime of pain and limitation is depressing. Your joy has been sucked out of you. You can’t enjoy your life. In fact, it’s hard to get around the house. Even the basics are a chore.

What if there was another way?

What if there was a non-surgical, painless in-office and cheap way to get quick relief as well as long term freedom from pain, suffering and loss of mobility? There is another way. Keep reading!

“Imagine…You Free from Back and Neck Pain!”

You are frustrated and desperate.

Frustrated by the fact no one is paying attention to the cause of your problem.

Only Band-Aid suggestions: rest, pain killers, anti-inflammatories, physiotherapy, adjustments and needles.

YOU are desperate to find someone who can help get rid of your misery caused by bulging, herniated discs or arthritis causing spinal stenosis.

“Announcing! The New Way to Get Rid of Back and Neck Pain!”

New breakthrough medical discoveries and technologies get to the root cause of your back and neck pain.

If you suffer with bulging or herniated discs, spine arthritis, stenosis, even failed back or neck surgeries, YOU have a brand new chance to find help and relief.

“E i i “Eliminates Back & Neck Pain For Good!”

Your pain could be gone for good.

People, just like you are reporting their pain is gone. They are able to reduce and sometimes eliminate their pain drugs. They are able to enjoy their lives again. Imagine, climbing up and down the stair, going for walks, playing with the kids or grandkids. . . WITHOUT pain and WITHOUT limitations! What would you be able to enjoy if your back and neck pain were gone? I can tell you one thing. You’d enjoy your life again and you’d have a lot more fun.

New computerized technologies gently release pressure on delicate discs and nerves. In addition, state-ofthe-art healing lasers and whole body vibration and…science based alternative medicines, make you feel better and move better.

“When Doctors Suffer from Back and Neck Pain – This is What They do!”

Many doctors treat themselves with these new medical breakthroughs before considering surgery. How do I know?

I know because I’m one of them.

You see, four years ago, I herniated a disc in my back. I am now pain FREE and able to walk, work, golf, putter in the garden and even ride my motorcycle. I can even get down on the floor and play with my grandson.

Many are suffering needlessly. Back and neck pain are ruining their lives.

They have given up hope or have been told: “There is no hope.” Maybe you are one of them. I want you to know: “You have options. There is hope!”

The Red Deer Express wants to cover your sporting events.

The City of Red Deer and the Province’s Ministry of Seniors and Housing and Ministry of Human Services will collaborate with other local stakeholders to develop a new integrated housing delivery model, bringing together community housing infrastructure and support services into a combined system.

A two-day working meeting is being held in Red Deer Sept. 19th-20th where all parties will create a governance and leadership structure to set the groundwork for an integrated housing delivery model to coordinate local housing support services with non-market housing inventory.

Developing a governance and leadership structure was identified as the number one goal in Red Deer’s Five Year Plan to End Homelessness.

“We continue to advance our plan to end homelessness as well as ensure safe, accessible and affordable housing is available to all,” said Mayor Tara Veer.

“Coordinating both local housing infrastructure and support services helps Red Deerians access and maintain the housing and services most appropriate to them.”

The City, with representatives from the Government of Canada, the Province, Red Deer’s two housing delivery bodies: Red Deer Housing Authority and Piper Creek Foundation, local partners in the delivery of Housing First programming for the homeless, the Aboriginal community, local service providers and the busi-

ness community will comprise a working group tasked with developing the new integrated housing governance and leadership structure.

“I support this community-driven initiative that will help deliver better outcomes for Red Deer residents,” said Lori Sigurdson, minister of Seniors and Housing.

“I look forward to hearing the results of the working session.”

Coordinating local agencies that manage and/or deliver housing or support services will strengthen the system, provide more flexibility for housing infrastructure to expand or respond to changing needs, allow for more short and long term planning, and provide more stability for clients and providers, officials say.

“The City, in partnership with the Province and our community, has for many years identified the need to address housing and service gaps in Red Deer, both now and in preparation for the future. Today’s announcement means we are gaining traction on a longstanding community challenge,” said Veer.

“An integrated approach supports and builds on the work our community service providers already do, and helps us better serve and respond to the broad needs of Red Deerians with compassion and accountability.”

A report on the recommendations for a new model is expected later this fall.

Two local teachers honoured nationally

BY KALISHA MENDONSA RED DEER EXPRESS Two local teachers were recently recognized for their outstanding efforts in education through the Canadian Family Teacher Awards.

Amy Nye of École Barrie Wilson and Karen Sveinson of École Central Intermédiaire were each awarded $2,500 for their respective schools.

Nye was nominated for her innovative and individually-tailored methods that greatly inspire her students by focusing on critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. Nye has also integrated practices from her training in meditation and mindfulness to help students overcome anger, anxiety and emotional stress.

Sveinson was recognized for creating and supporting school programs that promote empathy, equity, kindness and inclusion in her students. As well, Sveinson empowers positive change through anti-bullying initiatives, sex and gender diversity inclusion, mental health education and foreign aid awareness initiatives.

“I believe in teaching kids to think critically, approach problems from various perspectives and seek new solutions,” Nye said.

“The more we can do those things, the more we are growing their brains and teaching them to be resilient and cope with whatever the world throws at them.

What’s really important to me is that when kids leave here, they know I cared about them and they know they had success. I want them to look back and know they had fun while learning things that were relevant to them.

Nye uses her experience in mindfulness practice - physical and emotional awareness - to help children cope with anxiety, stress and develop their creative thinking skills. She says it’s incredibly important to her to remind children their emotions are not permanent and that they are valid in their feelings but to also know they can grow past those moments.

Nye was also recognized for her efforts in developing new and exciting methods for children to learn academic and life skills. She continually seeks to broaden her teaching repertoire and looks for out of the box teaching methods for use in her classroom.

AMY NYE

KAREN SVEINSON

She said she was quite humbled by the recognition of the Canadian Family Teacher Award.

“All teachers work really, really hard and lots do amazing things. When you do it, you don’t expect ever to win an award or to be recognized for it because it’s just your job. It kind of makes me feel teary. It’s a wonderful feeling and totally unexpected.”

Nye will be using her prize money to further develop a MakerSpace creative lab within École Barrie Wilson.

Sveinson was recognized for her innovative methods of helping students feel included and valued, as well as pursuing the development of community among the students of École Central Intermédiaire. She is a counsellor at the school and runs a multitude of clubs and programs to keep kids involved.

“My proudest moments are when I see growth in students,” she said. “All students have voices and all of them have ideas and things to contribute. My philosophy that I teach my students is, ‘I count, connections count and solutions count’. This helps them to develop problem solving skills, leadership and community among themselves and in the school.”

One of Sveinson’s most successful projects is called a SwapNShop, where students are encouraged to trade gen-

tly-used clothing and foster the notion of ‘reduce, reuse and recycle.’

“Donations were solicited from the community with the idea of helping the environment and ensuring gently-used work clothing and sporting goods were reused rather than thrown away. The response from our students and community was overwhelming and we were soon able to provide students in need with the ability to shop through a large selection of clothing and sporting goods, with dignity and while helping the environment.”

Sveinson’s community mind guides her program development and she constant-

ly seeks input from students to deliver meaningful programming. She believes in developing students through their own suggestions and fostering their ability to think proactively, creatively and with a greater community goal in mind.

She added her sister was a huge inspiration to her in terms of fostering resiliency in students and to follow one’s dreams.

“When you offer any kind of club, you equalize things for everyone. I want kids to be healthy and to make healthy choices for themselves. There are so many times kids can be attracted to unhealthy lifestyles and I want to make the school a community of inclusion and support for healthy choices. I know how fast and scary it can be when kids get hooked up with addictions and other negative things, so I’m mindful to be proactive, preventative and get kids involved,” she said.

“I love my role. It’s a comprehensive counselling program but kids will remember being connected with others and with their school. That’s what I’m really promoting in this school - friendships and connections with others. I want students to feel like they are a part of this community.”

Sveinson said she plans to use the money to buy some books for literacy programs, and for some equipment for after-school programs. As well, she wants to purchase healthy snacks and nutrition for her numerous after school and lunch hour clubs. kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Marking the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme One hundred years ago, during the summer and fall of 1916, the immense, gruesome and generally futile Battle of the Somme was fought in Northern France. For a great many, the Somme has become an epic symbol of the incomprehensible horrors of trench warfare during the First World War. The Battle of the Somme commenced on July 1st, 1916 with one of the greatest artillery barrages and frontal assaults in history. More than 1.5 million shells were blasted at the enemy lines. Then hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops ‘went over the top’ and attacked the highly fortified German trenches, dugouts and bunkers.

By every measure, the first day was a disaster.

The British forces suffered 57,470 casualties, including 19,240 dead. It remains the worst one day loss of life in the history of the British Army. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment was particularly hard hit.

Of the 800 men who went into battle near the village

Michael

DAWE of Beaumont-Hamel, 664 became casualties. When asked why the R.N.R. was not proceeding forward, a senior office replied that ‘dead men can advance no further.’

Despite the phenomenal disaster, the British High Command did not reconsider their plans. That was largely due to a refusal to admit that they had been wrong on such a massive scale. Furthermore, the Somme offensive did not have strategic objectives usually associated with great battles.

One of the key goals was to distract the Germans and thereby help relieve the brutal losses the French armies were suffering in their defense of Verdun. Moreover, as the horrific losses mounted, the British High Command

HARD FOUGHT - Nurses and officers gathered for multiple graveside services at the First Canadian Field Hospital at Etaples, France during the horrific Battle of the Somme, September 1916.

Red Deer Archives P5405 touted the idea that since there were more British and Allied soldiers than Germans, they could absorb the incredible loss of life much better than Germany could.

In other words, they claimed that in a war of attrition, the Germans would be ‘bled white’ first, thereby causing collapse of the enemy forces from exhaustion. Final ‘victory’ in the war could

thereby be achieved.

By the end of summer, the British and Allied Forces were themselves showing serious signs of battle exhaustion. However, instead of calling off the offensive, new troops, including the Canadian Corps, were put into the front lines.

The initial Canadian objective was to capture the village of Courcelette and surrounding area.

Their efforts in early and mid-September resulted in one of the best successes of the Somme offensive.

However, those gains were still very limited. The front moved only a few hundred metres. The number of casualties incurred were staggering - an estimated 7,000 men.

The Canadians had been bolstered by two innovations of the war. One was the creeping artillery barrage which pounded enemy positions immediately in front of the advancing troops. The other was the introduction of the tank.

The tank showed great promise as a weapon of war. However, it was put into battle before many of the technological problems had been ironed out. The tanks frequently broke down. Some literally ran out of gas. Others got bogged down in the mud.

Many were taken out by shellfire. Hence, the benefit to the Canadian troops

proved tragically limited.

Soon the Red Deer newspapers were full of the accounts of local men being killed and wounded at the Somme. As the battle dragged on through the fall, nearly 50 young men from Red Deer and area lost their lives and roughly three times that number were wounded.

By November, Corporal William Richards, of the local ‘C’ Squadron of 12 Canadian Mounted Rifles, reported that his unit had suffered such severe losses that he was the only surviving non-commissioned officer in his platoon.

Finally, on Nov. 19th, 1916, the onset of winter finally brought the Battle of the Somme to an end.

The British and Allied forces had suffered more than 1,000,000 casualties, including 24,029 Canadians.

The net gain of territory captured was less than 4.5 kms. Most tragically, the Great War was to drag on for another two years.

If you love to sing, want to meet a great group of women and just have fun, members of one local choir encourage new members to join.

During the month of September, the Hearts of Harmony choir, is encouraging new potential members to come and check them out.

There are 36 members in the choir who range in age from their late 20s to mid-80s. “We are a group of women who love to sing.

We sing four part harmony a cappella,� said Sandy MacGregor, marketing coordinator and member of Hearts of Harmony. “We are part of Sweet Adelines International - the ladies’ barbershop - and we started in 1993 with six people. “We have an awesome director, Sheryl Brook, and she comes from Stettler to direct us. Our members come from Innisfail, Sundre, Carstairs and there is even a member who comes from Calgary.�

Practices take place on Mondays from 7 - 9:30 p.m. at the Davenport Church in Red Deer. Those interested in joining the group must make the commitment to attend weekly practices. “It’s a demanding chorus in that you have to memorize the pieces and you can’t have music. It’s a pretty top notch kind of choir,� said MacGregor, who has been part of the group for three years.

There is also a cost to join - about $250 annually - which pays for a membership with the Sweet Adelines International, performance wear and music.

Throughout the year, Hearts of Harmony performs in various ven-

ues including at nursing homes, hospitals, festivals, Christmas shows, private functions and much more. “Every other year we go to the Sweet Adeline competition and we compete regionally, not so much to win but to improve our performance,� said MacGregor.

CITY BRIEFS LACE UP FOR TEAM DIABETES The Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) is excited to present the annual Lace Up for Team Diabetes run/walk that will take place on Sept. 10th at McKenzie Trails in Red Deer. This family-friendly event will feature a 3 km or 5 km run/walk.

“There is no denying the seriousness of diabetes - it’s a complex disease with many causes and no known cure. If you don’t have it, there is a good chance someone in your family or circle of friends is affected. In Alberta, it is estimated 303,000 people are living with diabetes including another 600,000 living with pre-diabetes and many others living with the disease but un-diagnosed. Not only is the number of cases growing, so are the serious complications it causes,” said Jackie Morrison, community engagement coordinator in Red Deer, CDA. “Funds raised from this event will help send children with Type 1 diabetes to camp and fund leading-edge research and innovative educational programs and services in Alberta.”

Participants will have the opportunity to win prizes, enjoy refreshments and listen to great music. Registration is $20 and individuals can register at diabetes.ca/LaceUpRD. Residents are also encouraged to bring in a bag or two of reusable clothing to help fill the Clothesline truck on-site.

Donations will support the work of the CDA. Sign up to volunteer at Lace Up for Team Diabetes in Red Deer by emailing jackie.morrison@diabetes.ca.

INSTRUMENT DRIVE CONTINUES The BIG Musical Instrument DRIVE has seen great support from our community providing musical instruments for students who otherwise may not be able to participate in band programs.

During the month of August, 25 musical instruments were donated to the Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools and will be redistributed to music programs and students across the district.

Instruments were dropped off at Red Deer Fire Stations. The District’s partners at 53rd Street Music will take a careful look at the in-

struments, provide an appraisal and do the necessary repairs. Donors will receive a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value.

“We are grateful with the number of instruments received. Each one of them comes from individuals who understand the value and importance of music education. We will now put these in the hands of students who are excited to be involved in music programs in our schools,” said Bruce Buruma, executive director of the foundation.

While the instrument drive will have a huge impact, there is still a need for additional instruments. The District invites the community to drop gently used musical instruments off at any Red Deer Public School during the month of September.

CROSSWALK SIGNALS TO BE INSTALLED Starting this fall a new style of crosswalk signals called Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) will be installed at nine locations in Red Deer to improve pedestrian safety.

RRFBs, an alternative to traditional traffic signals, are installed above the side mounted pedestrian crosswalk signs and use dual rectangular LED lights to display intermittent rapid flashes. RRFBs are also significantly more cost effective as compared to traditional overhead crosswalk signals.

“Improving road safety is a priority for the City, and installing RRFBs will help to improve safety for all users,” said Wayne Gustafson, Engineering Services manager. “RRFBs are a proven solution for improving pedestrian safety, particularly on wider, higher volume roads.”

Starting in September, RRFBs will be installed at the following nine locations including at 40th Ave. and Selkirk Blvd., 35th St. and Spruce Drive, 40th Ave. (in front of Eastview Middle School), 45th St. and 52nd Ave., 49th St. between 46th and 45th Ave. (at Coronation Park crossing), 50th St. between 46th and 45th Ave. (at Coronation Park crossing), 67th St. and 30th Ave. roundabout, the 67th St. and Johnstone/ Orr Dr. roundabout and at Orr Dr. between 66th St. and Ogilvie Close.

by Mark Weber RDC CELEBRATES PARTNERSHIP Red Deer College was pleased to welcome guests from Trinidad & Tobago last month as RDC connected with the National Energy Skills Centre (NESC) for a contract signing event.

The contract signing further enhances the partnership that RDC and NESC have had since 2008, and it will provide greater stability and an improved academic framework to the Trinidad & Tobago-based organization.

“We are incredibly pleased to welcome our guests today and to extend our partnership with the NESC in these new and exciting ways,” said Joel Ward, RDC’s president and CEO. “This contract will provide a framework for RDC to offer guidance and technical support that will further enhance the local apprenticeship programs in Trinidad & Tobago, allowing for a consistent approach in the delivery of training across key occupational areas.”

The contract is the next evolution in the partnership, and it builds on the five-year Memorandum of Understanding that RDC and NESC signed last year.

Among other items, last year’s MoU provides NESC with access to RDC’s world-class curriculum for use in apprenticeship programs. “The pieces of our partnership are building on each other for the benefit of apprenticeship students in Trinidad & Tobago,” said Ward. “And now, for the first time, graduates of the NESC will be able to earn a Red Deer College certificate once they have satisfied the academic, competency and experiential standards required.”

The level of training and the certifications that students can earn provide a solid foundation for their futures and for industry in the nation. “Industry in Trinidad & Tobago is comprised primarily of multinational companies operating and competing in the international energy market,” said Kern Dass, president of NESC. “The NESC is entrusted with the responsibility to educate and train this cadre of journeymen, and we are proud to partner with RDC to access and bring to our region the occupational standards set by Alberta.”

In addition to the framework set out by this new contract, Dass is also looking forward to applying other learnings from his time in Alberta. “Success within training institutions, as demonstrated by RDC, is the result of consistency in standards and a burning desire at all levels of an organization to improve performance within a set academic framework,” he said. “Having experienced RDC, it has given me a clear platform from which to operate and a vision of where NESC should be in the future.”

Both RDC and NESC see great benefits to their partnership and look forward to its continuing evolution. “This partnership is of great significance to our nation’s future,” said Dass.

“It provides our citizens with world-class curricula, courseware, teaching methodologies and internationally-recognized certification.”

RDC ANNOUNCES NEW STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH Red Deer College has announced Jason MacDonald will join the coaching staff, filling the newly created position of strength and conditioning coach in RDC Athletics.

“We are excited to have Jason join our team, as he brings a great deal of knowledge and passion to the position,” said Diane St-Denis, athletic director. “His experience as a professional and intercollegiate athlete will prove to be an asset to our program.”

MacDonald’s resume includes 15 years as a strength and conditioning coach, as well as experiences being a former professional and ACAC athlete, and he is looking forward to connecting with RDC’s student-athletes in his new role. “I’m extremely excited about the opportunity to work with student-athletes, helping them to become better players and helping to set them up with skills and habits that will serve them throughout their lives,” he said.

RDC Athletics created the new position to enhance the opportunities for training and education for student athletes.

MacDonald, who played volleyball for Mount Royal University and was named the ACAC All Conference Player of the Year in 1995-96, will draw on his own collegiate experience and his certification as a CrossFit trainer to help student athletes grow.

“Throughout my time in athletics, I’ve gone from being a student-athlete to a professional athlete – while maintaining a full-time career – to opening my own business and teaching others about strength and conditioning,” he said. “I understand that it can be a struggle to maintain fitness and nutritional goals with all of the other time conflicts and challenges that life brings. I hope to set a good example for our student-athletes to show them that it can be done and that it can have positive lifelong impacts.”

ENTERTAINMENT Scenic Route to Alaska coming to Bo’s this fall

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Edmonton-based indie rock trio Scenic Route to Alaska are heading to Red Deer this fall on the heels of their latest release Long Walk Home.

The 2015 Edmonton Music Awards ‘Group of the Year’ plays Bo’s on Oct. 14th.

Long Walk Home, the prairie indie outfit’s third LP, finds Trevor Mann (lead vocals/ guitar), Shea Connor (drums) and Murray Wood (bass) weaving catchy vocals and memorable melodies through relatively rich arrangements – instantly engaging but begging to be heard again and again.

“We’re lucky that all three of us grew up together and played music together - we go back,” said Mann with a laugh. “I met Murray when I was about five years old - we lived in the same community and went to the same elementary school. I think by the time we were seven, we were best friends.

“When I was about 11 years old, Shea moved to the community Murray and I lived in which is Riverdale in Edmonton, and he was invited to Murray’s birthday party - so that’s how I met him.

All of a sudden the three of us just became really good friends, and we started jamming - making funny tunes, playing in an old four-piece band and at sock hops playing a lot of R&B covers and Beatles-inspired stuff,” he recalls.

For Mann, he was in his late teens by the time he began writing his own tunes. “Murray and Shea helped in that process for sure, and there was such a comfortable sense in being with those two guys.”

Time went by and the three just continued to gel as a band - and today they are full-time musicians. And enjoying every minute of it.

Indeed. Their collaboration has been described as a, “Coveted combination within the crowded

The friends formed Scenic Route to Alaska in 2010.

Their early releases – a self-titled 2011 EP and 2012 full-length All These Years – belied the youth of the band and its members, owing to their and years of making music together and brotherly bond.

The attention and accolades poured in and earned them performances at prestigious events like the Edmonton and Canmore Folk Festivals and CMW. They propelled themselves to an even higher peak with 2014’s Warrington, earning rave reviews

in addition to shows alongside contemporaries like Hey Rosetta!, Said the Whale, and Born Ruffians.

They also landed a WCMA nod for Pop Recording of the Year and were finalists in the inaugural edition of Alberta’s Peak Performance Project.

As for the vision for Long Walk Home, Mann said the goal was essentially to capture what the guys drum up in a live show but also to spice up the sound for the best, most polished project to date. Of course, the heart and soul of what makes Scenic Route to Alaska the band they are remains absolutely intact.

Lyrically, Mann writes the bulk of the songs for the band with

collaboration with the other guys, too. “For the most part we collaborate on a song - I’ll bring a very rough ‘skeleton’ of a song on guitar or something.

And we’ll pick up some other instruments and just hash it out until we feel like we’ve found what we were going for.”

A love for music in Mann’s life came early, but there was another career that he had high hopes for during those early years as well. “Like every other Canadian kid out there, I wanted to be in the NHL,” he laughs. “But once we gave up on those dreams and we all decided we wanted to make music, we wanted to figure out what we had to do to make that possible and building a sus-

Ba Band Ban B an a and n nd d

tainable career out of it.

“It’s definitely where my heart is - 100 per cent. It’s not that there aren’t other things I like doing, but if I can continue to keep paying the bills this way, then I’m laughing.”

Both his parents were folk musicians, so there was certainly loads of music heard on any given day. “They had separated, but only lived a block from each other and got along really well.

My dad would play five nights a week in grungy bars, so he’s extremely happy that I’ve managed to have my own songs and get up there and present my own stuff a bit more. It’s really cool.

“Sometimes they were too supportive,” he adds, chuckling, noting that if there was a choice between finishing an essay or taking a gig, his parents would often encourage him to snap up the gig. “They wouldn’t force me to finish the essay.

“When I’d go to bed at night, he’d always sit down at the kitchen table singing away - it was a great way to fall asleep.”

Meanwhile, on stage, Scenic Route to Alaska’s energy is palpable and the fun contagious.

Always locked in with a syncopation that can only stem from a long collective history, the band bounces from ballads to bangers with ease, leaving a lasting impression on any kind of audience in front of them. That said, Mann said he still gets the jitters prior to hitting the stage - even though he loves it.

“I think I’ve just learned how to turn that more into adrenaline, and energy and a passion it’s about harnessing the power, harness the fear - it’s the only way to deal with it.”

The band will head over to Berlin, Hamburg and Amsterdam in September to play a couple of showcases supporting their release including Reeperbahn Festival before kicking off their Canadian run on Sept. 30th in Fernie, B.C. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Treehouse’s Toopy and Binoo return to Red Deer

BY ERIN FAWCETT RED DEER EXPRESS On the heels of two highly successful national tours, BFFs Toopy and Binoo have announced a return to the live stage for an all new 50-city national tour, including Red Deer’s Memorial Centre on Sept. 26th.

Sunwing.ca presents ‘Toopy and Binoo: Fun and Games’, their wackiest and most interactive adventure yet. The dynamic duo plus the energetic boot stomping Dusteroos and limbo-loving sheep begin their new quest to find the best game ever.

“Audiences are wild for this flamboyant production where imaginations remain untamed. Toopy and Binoo are the epitome of uninhibited fun,” said Patti Caplette, an award-winning choreographer who is also writer and director of multiple Koba Entertainment productions including Toopy and Binoo. “The cast and I are getting our funny bones in training for the ingenious silliness of Toopy and Binoo. No wonder audiences love them, it’s non-stop fun and games!”

The characters are based on the pair from the animated series for preschoolers based on the books created by Dominique Jolin. Toopy is a funny, friendly, optimistic, impulsive mouse whose zest for life is matched only by his love for his best friend, Binoo. Binoo is a lovable cat who is logical, sensible, and thinks before he acts and he is devoted to his best friend Toopy.

As for the latest show, ‘Toopy and Binoo: Fun and Games’, the production integrates music, theatre, dance, puppetry and innovative multimedia technology to create an off the wall experience that will delight the family. Toopy and Binoo blend optimism, imagination and spontaneity in their quest to find the best game ever.

The story unfolds when a toy chest full of mismatched games and puzzles ignites the pair’s imagination.

“This is such an energetic, wonderful show,” said Caplette, adding there are seven cast members who play 24 roles throughout the show. “It’s really amazingly bright, colourful and beautiful.

“Toopy and Binoo are really such wacky characters. Toopy is a giant mouse and he has a stuffy friend called Binoo, who really is the intelligence of the duo. Toopy is the most fun loving, playful character you could ever meet and they love to play games. This whole show is centered around what games they are going to play.”

FRIENDLY FACES - Toopy and Binoo bring their show ‘Toopy and Binoo: Fun and Games’ to the Memorial Centre Sept. 26th. photo submitted The foundation of every show is one of unabashed imagination, she said. “There are no boundaries to the imagination or the fun. And Toopy and Binoo are the quintessential duo who have taken things way beyond the word ‘imagination’. They really break boundaries – it’s a great program.”

Audiences will enjoy watching as Toopy and Binoo dance with Xs and Os, wiggle with smiling snakes and try to outsmart a gang of dancing ladders. Along with tea-partying cats, Dusteroos and a flock of fun-loving sheep, Toopy and Binoo indeed embark on their wackiest and most interactive adventure yet.

For Caplette, she first discovered her love of performing arts at her mother’s dance studio in Vancouver where by age five she was showing an early knack for choreography and playwriting. Between

And after three years with Les Grands Ballets, she joined the Royal Winnipeg Ballet where, over 15 years with the company, she danced in many productions including Peter Wright’s Giselle, John Neumeier’s Nutcracker, Agnes de Milne’s Fall River Legend and Rudi Van Datzig’s Romeo and Juliet.

After much success as a dancer, she turned to choreography and was soon creating award-winning work for dance

companies, the opera, the symphony and even the circus. Besides Toopy and Binoo, Koba’s touring shows feature characters from children’s literature and television including The Backyardigans, Franklin the Turtle, Max & Ruby, Doodlebops and Caillou. As for Toopy and Binoo, the characters made their television debut in 2005 and climbed into the hearts of children in hundreds of countries, including Treehouse TV (Canada), Tiji (France), Rai Sat (Italy) and Sun TV (India).

Meanwhile, Caplette really couldn’t be in a more fitting line of work. “I work with amazing casts and amazing co-creators,” she said. “My cast is also a wonderful group of performers – they are out on the road, they are troopers and they live to perform. I just love working with that kind of energy. It also keeps me young – I was born into theatre and have been in theatre all my life,” she said. “It’s something I want to bring to families to have as part of their lives, too. And hopefully propagate more theatre-goers, patrons and people who will continue to keep the art of theatre alive.”

And the best leg workout around is….

Strengthen and tone your leg muscles (and entire body) with these effective exercises.

Jack

WHEELER Giving your legs a good workout offers multiple rewards. For one, your leg muscles will be strengthened to reveal a shapely and athletic lower body. And second, because your leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body, working them provides the greatest calorie burn and helps you build other muscles (boost your internal metabolism).

On the days you focus on strength training at the gym, be sure to give your legs a great foundation by building your workouts around these five great exercises.

You may be a little sore the next day, but you won’t be disappointed.

Good leg workouts are best bang for your buck for strength, fat loss, calorie burn and functional movement.

Back squat - one of the most effective exercises you can do is the squat. It’s challenging yet simple and works practically every muscle in your body - especially those in your lower body.

To build leg muscles and tone your glutes, try a back squat using the barbell in the power rack. Rest the bar high on your back near the base of your neck and hold the bar near your shoulders. Take the bar off the rack, place your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart, and point your toes slightly out.

Take a breath, bend your knees, and lower until your thighs are parallel to the floor or lower. Raise back up and exhale near the top.

Breathe and repeat.

The whole time, keep your head in line with the rest of your upper body and maintain a tight core.

Deadlift - with a weighted barbell on the floor in front of your shins, place your feet shoulder-width

apart, slightly angled out and flat on the floor. Grab the bar with your palms facing you, slightly wider than your thighs. You can also have a mixed grip (one hand facing you, the other facing away from your body.) Use the strength of your lower body muscles (not your arms or back) to lift the bar off the floor until you are in standing position.

You should feel like you’re pushing the floor down with your feet. Make sure your shoulders and hips are rising at the same time to ensure you’re using the right muscles. Then lower the bar down to the floor using reverse motions. Repeat.

Weighted lunge - a third leg exercise that’s sure to provide results is the weighted lunge. Holding a

dumbbell in each hand by your side, step far forward, backward, or to the side with one leg and lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor.

Keep your torso upright and maintain your balance through the entire movement. Take care your knee goes no farther than your toes. Return to a standing position. Repeat on the same leg, alternate legs, do walking lunges, or jump up and switch legs midair.

Leg press - this exercise uses the leg press weight machine and mainly works your quadriceps (the muscles on the front of your thighs). Place the desired amount of weight on the machine pins, sit on the seat, and put your feet on the platform shoulder-width apart.

Let the weighted platform lower

so your knees are bent, then press the platform up until your legs are straight in front of you (without locking your knees). Inhale and slower lower the platform until your legs bend at a 90-degree angle.

Then push with your heels and use your quadriceps to straighten your legs again as you exhale. Repeat.

Front squat - the front squat works multiple muscles but really targets your quadriceps. Again, use the barbell in the power rack.

Load the bar and bring your arms under the bar. Bend your elbows, keeping them high while you hold onto the bar. Position the bar across the top of your chest and lift the bar off the rack by using your legs and straightening your body. Keep you head up and step back from the rack, placing your

feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly out. Inhale and then lower your body into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor or below, making sure your knees don’t pass your toes.

Raise the bar using your legs and exhale back into starting position.

Repeat.

Form first - remember, proper form for weight lifting is essential to avoid injury and see results. This is especially true with lower body workouts as the weight loads can be high and with improper form, the result could mean serious injury and soreness. Work with your trainer to ensure these exercises are done correctly and effectively - safety first.

Are you waiting to treat prostate cancer?

Doctors have stressed for years it’s vital to treat all cancers early to increase the chance of cure. But one rogue malignancy rarely obeys the rules. Now, a report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal says, ‘active surveillance’ is increasingly used to treat prostate cancer. The big question is how many patients want to wait when told they have a malignancy?

But why is this currently a choice? Autopsies show that 50 percent of men over age 59 have prostate cancer, and three in four over 85. One in seven North Americans will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, yet only one in every 28 men will die of it.

Obviously, not all need to be treated.

Why does this happen?

It’s because prostate cancer can be as tame as a pussy cat. Many men may die of other diseases never knowing they have this malignancy. However,

Dr. Gifford

JONES some prostate cancers act like a raging tiger that kills. So how do doctors decide which is which?

Unfortunately, it’s not easy. The PSA test measures the level of a protein in the blood produced by the prostate gland.

The higher the level the greater the chance of trouble. But some authorities argue the PSA test should never be done as it can result in needless treatment, with complications such as urinary incontinence and impotence. But if the test has already been ordered and found abnormal, a decision must be made.

The next step involves biopsies of the prostate gland. These are analyzed by a pathologist to eval-

uate the cellular pattern.

He reports what’s called the Gleason Score, of one to 10. The higher the number the greater the risk of trouble.

The problem is that neither test is infallible.

Consequently, this rogue malignancy has always required the Wisdom of Solomon to predict which cancers should be treated. So now what criteria are doctors using when they suggest watchful waiting?

First, several biopsies must show relatively normal-looking cells. Being an older patient is a help as there’s a possibility of death from other medical problems before death from prostate cancer. The prostate gland will also be monitored at regular intervals by rectal exams, more PSA tests, CT Scans and possibly repeat biopsies.

At the first sign that the guidelines are changing, then a decision must be made as to the best method of treatment.

I have spent hours reading international reports of the results of active, watchful waiting. The jury is still out. So, both doctors and patients must make the decision of their life when faced with this rogue cancer.

The grim fact is that some patients who decide on watchful waiting will die if the cancer spreads to other organs before treatment is started. But, on the other hand, some will also die prematurely from surgical complications when their life is not threatened by the cancer.

Several years ago a tennis friend, during an annual checkup, had a PSA test done. His level was slightly

elevated. But five biopsies of the prostate gland were normal. Then a sixth one revealed a slight change.

Since he was 74 years of age these minute microscopic cells might not have killed him for 15 years. So I strongly and repeatedly advised him against surgery. But psychologically he could not live knowing a few cells were abnormal. A radical prostatectomy was done. He died of a blood clot (pulmonary embolism) as he was walking out of the hospital. It was the result of the surgery and a totally needless death.

It’s been said that, “If you’re not confused about prostate cancer you don’t know what’s going on!” But

once diagnosed a decision must be made.

Some men, with young wives and families, may be unwilling to accept watchful waiting as being too risky. Older ones may prefer to live with the devil they know than face the potential complications of treatment. As one of the experts remarked years ago, “Getting older is invariably fatal, cancer of the prostate only sometimes.”

Parkinson Alberta is hoping to draw a large crowd to their annual Flexxaire Step ‘N Stride fundraising event that will take place on Sept. 10th.

The Step ‘N Stride event is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser and will take place this year at the Golden Circle, with registration at 9 a.m. and the walk starting at 10:30 a.m.

Registration and donations can be done online at www.parkinsonalberta/ stepnstride.

“Our Step ‘N Stride event is important for a number of reasons. The first reason is that it brings people together,” said Kelsey Van Grinsven of Parkinson Alberta, Red Deer Region.

“People with Parkinson’s often suffer from apathy and depression and it’s easy for them to get stuck in their homes.

This event brings people out and together and helps to develop a sense of community. Second to that, this is our largest fundraiser and in 10 communities across the province, Step ‘N Stride raised over $325,000. It’s amazing and incredible and it’s all thanks to our clients with Parkinson’s, their families, friends and neighbours coming together.”

Van Grinsven said the organization hopes to reach or surpass that provincial goal this year, and officials are eager to be bringing new aspects to this year’s event.

“This year, we are changing a little bit to get more of the community out. We’ve added a Kid’s Zone with small activities and a bouncy house to accommodate

families,” she said.

“It’s also being designed as a sort of wellness fair, so we are including wellness booths and vendors so people can get an idea of tools to help those with Parkinson’s and to get more information into the community. We’re hoping to round it out a bit more with a bigger, better show this year.

“We’re really hoping people come out to support their friends and family members who are living with Parkinson’s disease. It’s important to note people can also register online and collect pledges online.”

Money raised through the Step ‘N Stride events stays in Alberta in order to offer support services such as in-person support groups, personalized support, education, awareness and advocacy campaigns. Van Grinsven said it’s important to the organization to raise the profile of Parkinson Disease so that those living with it can continue to get the help and support they deserve.

“It’s a very important event to bring people together. As our largest fundraiser, it’s a huge bulk of what allows us to give the support that we do to Albertans,” she said.

“We offer in-person support groups across Central Alberta, which is important to us because not all organizations are able to offer in-person support groups.

We also offer programming - for example, our boxing program. The ability for us to provide programs and develop those all comes from the success of our Step ‘N Stride event.” kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Rookies impress at Rebels pre-season tourney

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The Red Deer Rebels’ young crop of rookies weren’t going to sit back during their first opportunity to impress Head Coach and General Manager Brent Sutter last weekend.

A young squad of Rebels hopefuls and veterans jumped at the chance to show their skills during a pre-season tournament hosted by the Rebs at the ENMAX Centrium last Friday and Saturday, splitting their two games at the tourney.

“We had some opportunities,” said Sutter after a 6-4 loss to the Calgary Hitmen on Saturday.

Sutter’s team also put up a 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings on Friday night.

The Prince George Cougars was the fourth and final team in attendance at the tournament, which simply allowed the WHL teams to get their players into game situations before NHL camps start up later this month.

Sutter said he was impressed with the way that some of the younger players, including some of the 16-year-olds were able to compete with the veterans on the Hitmen and Oil Kings rosters.

“I thought that some of our young kids struggled in the first period, but then after they got caught up with the pace — tonight was a much different level of game than it was last night,” Sutter said after the Calgary game, which saw the Rebels’ young players really get to see how an elite WHL team plays.

“We’ve seen a lot more veterans in the lineup tonight. We played this team in playoffs last year and we know what type of players these guys have and the compete level and how quick they can be.”

Sutter added he thought the team’s young players adapted well to the Hitmen’s speed.

“It took them probably a period and a half to adjust to what the pace was like and the way they

Among the Rebels rookies that stood out, Sutter said, was 16-year-old winger Brandon Cutler, who had a goal in each of the two games the team played last weekend. “Cutler was outstanding again. For a 16-year-old he’s certainly making a push here, which is good to see,” said the coach, adding that the sixfoot tall Spruce Grove native is currently one of the front-runners as final cuts loom on the horizon. “I’m coming as an underdog, coming ninth-round

here. Just looking to show that I should have went a lot lower in the draft. I think I deserved to go as a first or second or third round pick. But I think I’m earning my way,” said Cutler, who was taken by the Rebels in the eighth round, 192nd overall in the 2015 WHL bantam draft.

The rookie forward added that the relatively low selection has created somewhat of a chip on his shoulder and he’s out to prove that he can be a force in the Rebels’ WHL lineup.

status as a local hero after scoring a dramatic overtime winner against Brandon at last season’s Memorial Cup tournament.

The Wetaskiwin native was slated to join teammate Adam Musil at the St. Louis Blues rookie camp later this month.

Sutter did not give a timeline for Polei’s return to the ice.

Other Rebels rookies who made contributions included import defender Alexander Alexeyev (1G, 2A), and prospects D-Jay Jerome (1G, 1A) and Austin Schellenberg (2A). zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

or whatever but it doesn’t matter. No excuses, right?”

As it turns out, Cutler, along with the rest of the rookies, may be called upon to step up in a big way for the Rebels, as fan favourite veteran forward Evan Polei, one of the team’s 20-yearold players, left Saturday night’s game with what Sutter described as an upper-body injury.

“He’ll be out for a bit,” Sutter said.

Polei, who worked his way into the hearts of Rebels’ fans last season thanks to a very strong playoff campaign, solidified his

Shepherd lifts way to Alberta’s Strongest Man title

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS It’s been a long road filled with lots of hard work, but after years of training a Red Deerian man can finally claim the title of Alberta’s Strongest Man. Brad Shepherd of Red Deer laid claim to the prestigious title after putting up a dominant performance in the Super Heavyweight category at the 2016 Alberta Strongman/Strongwoman Provincial Championship in Fort McMurray last month.

“I just had what it took this year, so it feels pretty good,” said Shepherd of his win at the Aug. 27th event, which featured five different events such as the giant tire flip, where competitors have to flip an 850 lb. tire eight times in 75 seconds, and the Atlas Stones, in which competitors in the super heavyweight have to pick up a 340 lb. stone

and put it over a 50-inch bar as many times as they can.

“I only needed two to win show, so I did three just to show off for the crowd,” laughed Shepherd of the Atlas Stones event, which sealed his victory.

“I JUST HAD WHAT IT TOOK THIS YEAR, SO IT FEELS PRETTY GOOD.” BRAD SHEPHERD

Shepherd’s win at the Alberta event means that he qualifies for the Canadian championship competition in Regina later this month. “If I go win nationals it would actually qualify me to

compete on the pro-circuit.”

This was Shepherd’s fourth time competing in the annual provincial competition, which features the best strongmen from all over the province. But this year’s competition actually bore a special significance for the 314 lb. strongman.

“This is the first year that we’ve managed to have athletes in every weight class out of Red Deer. That’s never happened before. Up until this year there’s actually only been two strong men out of Red Deer,” Shepherd said.

The City’s super heavyweight representative was joined by fellow Red Deerians Brett Milne in the middleweight, Ryan Jabalee as the light heavyweight competitor and Shepherd’s long-time training partner Dylan Olafson as the heavyweight competitor.

“I wasn’t even planning on doing this competition this year but it was just because the other

three guys had qualified and they were going. So it was like, well if they’re going I have to go,” Shepherd said, adding the group was really lucky to find a permanent training space this year.

“We got really lucky this year.

There’s a personal training gym up on the north end called Ludus Fitness. They had the opportunity with the slower economy to move into a much bigger space.

They had a bunch of extra room but they didn’t have equipment to fill it.”

So the gym invited the strongman group into the space.

“They gave us a home where we can actually train for this stuff, which we’ve never had before. So through that we were able to encourage a couple of other guys to try it out,” Shepherd said.

Those two new guys were Milne and Jabalee, both of whom competed in their first Alberta’s

Strongest Man competition late last month.

Milne finished in second in the middleweight competition and will join Shepherd at nationals in Regina.

“He’s a pretty decent powerlifter. He decided to jump forward and did one competition earlier this year out in B.C. just to kind of get his feet wet and through that he would qualify for Alberta’s. He came up and he did really well.

He was up against one of the top strongmen in Alberta named Nolan Sauve and he managed to beat (Sauve) in an event,” said Shepherd of Milne.

Shepherd added anyone wanting to try out strength athletics can drop by Ludus Fitness and speak to one of the powerlifters.

Shepherd and Milne will be back in action at the Canadian Championships in Regina on Sept. 24th. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Zachary

CORMIER dreds of web sites set up specifically to host a fantasy league, regardless of whether anyone doing fantasy hockey, baseball, basketball or the grand daddy of them all - fantasy football. You can play fantasy sports with friends, co-workers, bar mates or some randoms that you met on the Internet. You can play for money, a big shiny trophy (or one of those little plastic dollar store ones, I won’t judge), or bragging rights.

With how prevalent the game has become over the past few years, especially when it comes to the NFL, it’s hard to imagine that anyone hasn’t actually heard of it. If you haven’t, that’s what Google is for.

Earlier this month, one of my colleagues asked me if I would like to join a fantasy football league with him and a few friends.

Personally, I’ve never followed the NFL that closely, but hey why not? I mean how hard could it be?

So, after hours of reading Wikipedia posts and countless columns along with hours invested into Madden 16’s Be an Owner mode, I present to you your all inclusive guide to

fantasy football, written by a guy who has literally no idea what he’s talking about.

Step 1: Choose a draft strategy. Supposedly draft day is the most fun part of any fantasy football league season because it’s the day when you really get to build your team. This is in stark contrast to draft day in the real NFL where everyone watches the first round and then changes the channel to reruns of NBC’s Mike and Molly. The first thing that I learned about drafting a fantasy football team is that, somewhat counter intuitively, you don’t pick a quarterback first. Heck, unless you’re picking Cam Newton (a fantasy football God apparently), you generally don’t pick your QB until the fourth or fifth round.

This, for obvious reasons, hurts my brain because any real football team builds their offense from the QB outwards and now I’m supposed to ignore that and take Antonio Brown with the first overall pick. Why? Because math and numbers and things.

Step 2: Fantasy rankings are your friend. Pretty much every major sports network these days has a part of their staff dedicated to fantasy sports. These are people who are paid to sit and watch every game and write long articles telling fantasy owners exactly which players are going to have breakout seasons and which players are going to

inexplicably tank this season. How do they know this? By comparing and contrasting various sets of data — *zones out and starts checking Twitter to see if the Habs have traded Carey Price to Colorado in exchange for Patrick Roy’s contract yet*.

Step 3: Late round sleeper picks can make all the difference. Apparently this is a thing. After all, if you take a seventh round flier on Browns’ receiver Josh Gordon and he goes onto put up 2,000 yards receiving you’re going to look like a freaking genius.

Step 4: Learn some new swear words. That way you won’t be left saying the same thing every time one of your best starters gets hurt.

Step 5: Check the waiver wire obsessively. Between this and Pokemon Go, I’m going to get my cardio this fall solely from the repetitive motion of removing my phone from my pocket every five and a half seconds.

Step 6: Trash talk everyone and everything, regardless of whether you win or lose. Hey, even if you end up 0-16 on the season at least you’ll feel a bit better about yourself if you had the best zinger of the year.

That’s it. I can guarantee that if you follow these six simple steps, you’ll win as many fantasy league championships as the Cleveland Browns have won Super Bowls. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Kalisha Mendonsa/Red Deer Express

A throwback to the designs of yesteryear Once upon a time, I thought I had style.

If you imagine every bad 80’s stereotype for big hair, neon clothes and Flashdanceinspired garb that was me. I don’t know how I ever afforded all the hairspray I used and how it is even possible that I didn’t combust wearing all the rayon and polyester clothing – not to mention all the gaudy, plastic jewelry. I was the poster child for the 80s and I embraced the look with every ounce of enthusiasm that I could. I was not a neutral fashionista!

Recently I was able to visit a client whose home I had decorated almost 10 years ago. I remembered her after we got chatting and was amazed that she remembered me with such clarity. When I walked into her home I mentally travelled back in time to the days when I helped her with her home renovation. Not a

Kim

WYSE thing had changed for she claimed she loved the design so much yet I was a little taken aback at my taste from yesteryear and how much my style has changed over a decade.

Styles were much frillier then and apparently I was really into a paint colour called ‘Sundried Tomato’ which is exactly as it sounds – a purplish based red that was a favourite of mine and was used without spare in this client’s home. My client was wanting to sell her property and felt that even though she loved the red that a new buyer may not feel the love

but feel overwhelmed when they entered the rooms.

Taking cues from her current décor and existing tile, countertops and carpet we were able to pull off a soft neutral which opened up the walls and visually made the space seem bright and very open. The red paint took a bit of work to cover but she was able to use a decent primer and make the transition to a pale colour. I believe the client was ready for a change and using a lighter colour was the perfect solution to bringing her existing finishings a bright, fresh and renewed look.

When I look back at designs I created years ago I wonder at how my taste has changed so drastically. I still like strong reds and oranges (as I do still like bigger hair) but my overall view on homes has lightened and brightened considerably.

The thought of painting an entire room

chocolate brown is overwhelming whereas I would easily recommend that to a client in years past. Maybe it’s age or experience and maybe its just flowing with the times and the styles of the day but either way things have lightened up considerably and at this moment I can’t imagine ever going back to the dark and dramatic.

Hopefully your décor doesn’t travel as far back as 1984 and I hope that you love the house you are in regardless of the era and style. At the time we are choosing hairstyles and house colours we are completely entranced with that choice and it provides enjoyment even if we look back years later and wonder what the heck we were thinking!

The ‘Once upon a Mortgage’ fairytale Do you remember the ‘choose your own adventure’ books? You would read through the story and watch as the hero or heroine battled through their struggles until you got to the page where your involvement was required. You could choose path A and turn to page X or you could choose path B and turn to page Z. The choice was yours and they were kind of fun to read as I recall.

Anyway, what if we changed our thinking about mortgages a little so that you, the intrepid mortgage borrower, could look at the whole process where you are actually the one in control? That based on your plans and your budget you could determine the best mortgage option for your situation. So here we go, once upon a mortgage…

Pam

PIKKERT that Indiana Jones grabbed just before running for his life and so they feel reluctant to accept this seemingly too good to be true mortgage. Louis and Lulu know they can feel confident that they are choosing the best mortgage as long as they have asked all of the questions above.

Moral - if you think about how much time it took them to save the money and establish the credit and find the home then it really seems like taking a few

hours to research and ensure they are making the best mortgage decision is a very good idea before they turn the page Story two – meet Al - a young brave entrepreneur who has successfully built a thriving business. Being wise for his age, Al has listened to his accountant who has counselled him to claim a low income to avoid paying any unnecessary taxes. Al works hard and saves his pennies and meets a lovely maiden with whom he wishes to make a home. He sets off to the mortgage broker and is told that he has an important choice ahead of him. He can choose the lowest rate available on the market but he must pay a very high mortgage default insurance premium because he has not claimed much income or he can choose a higher interest rate with a

Story one - Louis and Lulu, are a young couple who have saved their down payment and carefully built their credit. They and the clever realtor have found the perfect home and navigated the negotiations painlessly and now it is time to make all the choices in their mortgage adventure.

But wait! Now that their search engine knows they are looking for a mortgage, they are being bombarded by rate sites and are feeling a bit overwhelmed. How do they choose? What is the difference between the offers? Here are the questions they really should ask before they sign: • If a new adventure beacons and I have to break this mortgage, how will the penalty be calculated? How does that compare to other lenders?

• Can I take this mortgage with me to a new home if I want? Do you lend all over this vast country? Are there time constraints if I do move my mortgage?

• What if I come across a pile of gold and I want to pay down this mortgage?

How much extra and how often can I do so?”

And then, Louis and Lulu see a really low rate offer that seems eerily like the idol

lower fee and in the end save himself a lot of money though he will not be able to brag of having captured the lowest mortgage rate ever.

Moral of this story is there is a lot more to a mortgage than the rate he was offered.

So this was an unusual article about mortgages to say the least but if it has caused you to realize that you are the one in charge of getting the best mortgage for yourself, which will not only save you money but avoid pitfalls down the road, then it was certainly worth the time it took to peruse.
