Lending Cupboard marks 10 years of community service Supporters gathered to celebrate the occasion at Parkland Nurseries

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS

I

t was a time of celebration recently as The Lending Cupboard marked 10 years of serving communities across Central Alberta.

The Lending Cupboard is a Red Deerbased society that lends out medical equipment at no cost across Central Alberta, and it continues to meet a growing need across the region. The organization is a registered not-for-profit society and was founded by Jaqui Joys in the summer of 2006.

Joys established The Lending Cupboard after losing her husband Alan to cancer in 2002.

When they needed medical equipment for Alan at home, she discovered she couldn’t rent or purchase a bed soon enough for their needs.

She was referred to a business owner in London, Ontario who had started a comparable medical equipment lending organization there. That contact resulted in Jaqui and Alan receiving a bed the same day; Alan passed away two weeks later.

In 2003, Jaqui founded the Alan Joys (AJ’s) Loan Cupboard Society in Medicine Hat. The same year, she began exploring a similar service in Red Deer, where she moved six months after Alan’s passing.

The organization operates through some support from Alberta Health Services, with the bulk of support stemming from grants, fundraising and private donations. There are about 7,500 pieces of equipment on hand, and staff process an average of 650 loans every month for situations ranging from extreme sports injuries, those recovering from illness or surgery to end of life care.

“From July 1st of 2015 to June 30th, 2016, more than 4,300 people took equipment out,” said Executive Director Dawna Morey. “We processed 15,689 pieces of equipment as well. That also represents about 8,000 hours of volunteerism.”

Equipment available runs the gamut from wheelchairs, walkers, bath chairs and commodes to hospital beds, crutches and canes, hydraulic lifts and bed rails.

Joys was also one of several past and present staff, volunteers and supporters who attended a special 10th anniversary event last week at Parkland Nurseries.

She reminisced about those early days when the Cupboard was first established.

“It’s a pleasure to be back and to see so many faces that I recognize,” she said.

“I’m so happy to see you.”

As for starting the Cupboard, Joys recalled it as a time of seeing folks really come together including local Rotarians and the health region of the time as well.

“The support just kept coming and kept coming,” she said. “At our official

Details will be examined in October.

“The whole report will be public - we will be making it available to everybody.”

These days, Morey is excited about the future of The Lending Cupboard, and for her, it also provides a meaningful and fulfilling line of work.

“When I was in leadership training, I learned that what we want to do as community leaders is to connect our passion to our paycheck. I have to say, I’ve been able to do that three times in my life.

“Once when I worked in education, secondly when I worked at CiRS in the Community Village and now at The Lending Cupboard. I purposefully was looking for something where I could make an impact on the community,” she said.

“There is such a need, and such a future in this area that isn’t going to decrease.”

United Way Central Alberta kicks off campaign

BY KALISHA MENDONSA RED DEER EXPRESS United Way Central Alberta kicked off its 51st community fundraising campaign last week to a sea of almost 500 red-clad supporters.

The kick-off event marked the start of the four-month fundraising drive to support over 40 programs and services in three priority investment area including education - helping kids be all they can be; income - moving people from poverty to possibility and wellness - building strong and healthy communities.

During these challenging times in Alberta, United Way has adopted an appropriate theme for the campaign - ‘Together, we are possibility.’ Both the fundraising and community investment decisions are executed by teams of dedicated volunteers who support United Way’s approach of creating lasting positive community impact.

Fundraising efforts are led by volunteer Campaign Cabinet Co-Chairs – this year, Red Deer City Manager Craig Curtis and Councillor Ken Johnston.

“I think what’s going to make this year fantastic is finding the same gear and same spirit that has built Red Deer in good times and bad,” Johnston said.

“This is a slow time, but the

heart of our City is beating strong. We’re going to have a fabulous year because it’s all about the spirit of Red Deer.

“We’re acknowledging that people will give from their hearts and give to their abilities.

Inadvertently, what happens by not setting a total is that we end up with a bigger number of donations than we even thought possible at first. The reality is that we are in a tough year, but the need is stronger than ever.

We’re hoping that folks who are able to please think of digging to give to their communities.”

Highlights of this year’s kick-off include creative videos that illustrate what ‘possibility’ means to four of United Way’s key supporters – NOVA Chemicals, the City of Red Deer, Scott Builders and Dow MEGlobal – as well as moving, real-life stories told by people whose lives have been transformed by United Way’s support. Live social media coverage will keep people engaged for the duration of the campaign.

Many supporters have embraced the Jumpstart Program and jointly guaranteed a total of $199,542 to begin the campaign.

“At this point in time - despite the economic difficulties we’re facing - we are only $1,000 short of what our Jumpstart did last year and that is remarkable,” said Johnston.

KICK OFF - United Way Central Alberta supporters gathered for the annual campaign kick off held last week.

Curtis added the majority of United Way funding comes from workplace campaigns.

“Employees who are being laid off need more help than ever, and there are many more of them than in years before.

A loss of employment brings a whole host of issues - including domestic issues, childcare and education issues, the need for

‘Screen Test’ celebrates 25 years of early cancer detection With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming up in October, officials are also marking a special anniversary related to screening that has ultimately helped save lives and lead to faster treatment.

Screen Test is celebrating 25 years of mobile mammography services across Alberta, which has detected thousands of cancers early and saved lives. The Alberta Health Services (AHS) program started at a single site, in Hinton, in 1991.

Today, two 16-metre semi-trailers visit more than 110 rural communities, including 23 indigenous communities, every year.

Screen Test has completed 466,858 mammograms for 178,000 Albertans. Out of those screened, more than 21,000 Albertans have had an abnormal result detected and were recalled for further testing. Out of those clients recalled, more than 2,500 – or 12% – had breast cancer detected.

According to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer increases with age. In 2015, it was estimated that 82% of new breast

cancer cases would occur in Canadian women over the age of 50.

Fifty-two per cent of breast cancers were expected to be diagnosed in women 50 to 69 years of age and 30% of breast cancers were expected to be diagnosed in women over the age of 69.

In 2015, an estimated 5,000 women were expected to die of breast cancer in Canada.

Breast cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death in Canadian women, accounting for 14% of all cancer-related deaths. The proportion of women dying from breast cancer has been dropping incrementally over time, according to the Foundation.

The leading cause of cancer deaths in Canadian women continues to be lung cancer.

“Early detection is so important with cancer,” says Dr. Francois Belanger, AHS vice president, Quality and Chief Medical Officer. “The chance of dying from breast cancer is reduced by 30 per cent if detected early, and it is much easier to treat if it is localized to the breast and has not spread

to other areas. Screening helps with this detection significantly.”

In the past, if a woman underwent a mammogram, it was usually after she had discovered a lump or experienced other breast symptoms.

“Our mobile screening units are able to reach women who otherwise may not get a screening mammogram,” Dr. Belanger says.

“We can bring services to unique populations, and rural and remote communities as well. I want to thank the many staff and volunteers who have helped make this service so successful over the past 25 years.”

Because mammograms may not identify all types of breast cancer, patients are still advised to see their doctors for additional tests even if they have normal mammogram results but notice physical changes in their breasts, or can feel a lump.

Screen Test targets women 50 to 74; when women in Alberta turn 50, they receive an invitation letter to undergo a screening mammogram.

It is recommended women aged 50 to

74 have a screening mammogram at least every two years, and women between 40 and 49 who choose to be screened have a mammogram each year.

A year ago, Marlene Pieper became one of these clients. The Didsbury woman was volunteering with Screen Test when she underwent a mammogram, a decision that likely saved her life.

As a result of that mammogram, Pieper was referred for followup at which time her doctor confirmed she had breast cancer.

A biopsy was done and the tumour was successfully removed the following month.

Pieper’s prognosis is positive. Having just completed her cancer treatments, she continues to volunteer with five AHS programs, including the Screen Test mammography clinics.

“I still do not know what may have happened if not for the mobile clinic,” says Pieper.

Visit www.screeningforlife.ca/breast for more information on the program, including eligibility and referrals.

How to thrive on discontinuous change Organizations are bombarded by change, and many are struggling to keep up.

The question is, how do we create the kind of organization that not only adapts quickly to current trends, but is aggressive about shaping and leading change?

There are two kinds of change – incremental and discontinuous – that are taking place simultaneously and constantly in business organizations around the world. Incremental change is the process of continuous improvement – what the Japanese refer to as ‘kaizen.’ Discontinuous change is the kind of large-scale transformation that turns organizations inside out and upside down.

If managing incremental change can be compared to encouraging a group of joggers to gradually pick up the pace, then leading discontinuous change is like getting those same joggers

Carol Kinsey

GOMAN to leap off a cliff and build their parachutes on the way down.

Incremental change fits the Newtonian framework of a linear, progressive and predictable world. There is an unmistakable logic behind incremental change that makes it easy to communicate and relatively easy for people to adopt.

Best of all, it uses current practices as a baseline for the systematic improvement of a product, service or system. And people like the fact that they can base their future success on their past performance.

But much of the change our organizations are fac-

ing today is not incremental. It is discontinuous. It is restructuring, re-engineering, transformation. It is these actions – and others – that challenge our most deeply held beliefs about the past. Discontinuous change confronts the entire organization with the possibility that the very roles, actions and attitudes that were most responsible for past success will be insufficient, and perhaps even detrimental, in the future. And that concept is difficult to communicate and much harder for people to adopt.

No one likes to contemplate letting go of the skills and behaviours that ‘got us here.’ As individuals, we become psychologically attached to the status quo because it is familiar and comfortable. But even more difficult than fighting off the inertia of comfort, we find it hard to let go of the past because it is there that

we’ve experienced personal success.

People like the experience of mastery. That’s understandable. It’s basic human psychology – but not an attitude that helps us move forward. Although ‘knowledge is power’ may have been an accurate assumption in the past, the reality of today’s highspeed business environment is that information and skills become outdated faster than the current fashion. In this climate, employees are valued primarily for how quickly they can learn, unlearn and relearn.

One of the greatest challenges for anyone who wants to become change adept is to identify those practices and attitudes that need to be unlearned in order to more quickly adopt new behaviours.

Here are a few questions to consider: • What do I do best? (What

skills and abilities am I most proud of?)

• Which current skills, abilities, and attitudes will continue to make me successful in the future?

• How does feeling competent stop me from doing things differently? (Where are the “comfort zones” that I’m most reluctant to leave?)

• What new skills do I need to learn to stay valuable to the organization?

• What do I need to unlearn? (Which skills are becoming obsolete? What practices – attitudes, behaviours, work routines, etc.

– that worked for me in the past are no longer valid?)

Leaders who help their team or department thrive on discontinuous change begin by identifying those skills and behaviours that they themselves need to learn and unlearn. Then they address the topic openly - they talk about their own problems with letting go of past competencies,

they empathize with the feelings of awkwardness that come with leaving the ‘comfort zone,’ and they are candid about the reason why they decided to leave some behaviours in the past in order to better serve the future. Then they massage damaged egos by applauding the efforts that all team members are making.

Building a style of corporate behaviour that is comfortable with – even aggressive about – the significant change that CEOs project for our future, means that everyone needs to realize that the process of continuous learning, unlearning and relearning is the key to both organizational and personal success.

RED DEER EXPRESS 7

PC leader hopeful chats with local residents

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS During an hour-long open meet and greet with Red Deerians at the Holiday Inn on Gasoline Alley this past weekend, Conservative MP Jason Kenney outlined his plan to unite Alberta’s two free-market conservative parties in time for the next provincial election and to take questions from Red Deerians on his upcoming run for leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party.

“Somebody has got to step up and try to bring back the traditional free-enterprise coalition that existed under Peter Lougheed’s leadership, under Ralph Klein’s leadership. That exists federally in the Conservative Party of Canada,” the former Minister of Defence for the Conservative Party of Canada told a group of people at a small round table discussion.

Kenney, who announced his bid for the leadership in July, said the goal of uniting Alberta’s two conservative parties would be to defeat the current NDP government in the next provincial election.

“Higher taxes, higher regulations, higher labour costs, higher power prices. A fiscal situation that implies higher taxes in the mid to long term. You throw all of this together on top of the lower than usual oil prices,” said Kenney.

He added that a few years ago, oil at $45 a barrel would

be considered a historic high.

“We had a stronger economy, stronger labour market, stronger fiscal position in Alberta at $20 oil than we do today at $45 oil. So don’t tell me it’s all about oil prices.

I mean, it’s not helpful, but it’s everything else they’re doing.”

Kenney added in his view, the Wildrose party and the PC party are not actually very different policy-wise.

“If you actually look at this, in the legislature those two parties are voting together 87 per cent of the time,” he said.

“I just look at this and say are we prepared to risk the possibility of a second NDP term, the consequences of which would be catastrophic and irreversible, to squabble over 13 per cent of differences in the legislature.”

Kenney outlined his plan to facilitate a merger between the two parties in a five-point plan, which, he said, begins with electing a PC leader with a mandate to attempt to ‘achieve unity’.

“I’m not doing this for glory or power. I’m only doing this because no one else was stepping up to do what I think is necessary,” he said.

He also said he would not let any merger go through without a referendum being held for members of both parties.

“This is the most important point, in part because of the cynicism of the

floor-crossings that happened 18 months ago, which ticked off pretty much everybody,” Kenney said.

“They’re the shareholders and they should decide.”

During his talk, Kenney likened a potential merger between the two right wing parties with a similar one which occurred between the Canadian Alliance and the then Progressive Conservative Party of Canada federally in 2003.

“To do that across 10 provinces, three territories, two

0fficial languages, a whole lot more people, differences, resentments and baggage.

We managed to overcome all of that and we have not had one single fight in the Conservative party of Canada in a caucus cabinet or convention since we pull together along legacy party lines,” he said.

“We buried the hatchet.

We decided to look through the windshield instead of the rear view mirror.”

When asked by one of the attendees if he would

St. Martin de Porres School is pleased to announce their grant application was recently accepted from the Dow Canada Community Investment Program ‘Dow Gives.’

With this $5,000 grant, the school will purchase ukuleles and djembe drums to enhance students’ fine arts experience throughout all curricular areas.

“There are some big issues that I’ve got to be clear about my own stance. One of them is repeal Bill 6.

Period. Repeal the carbon tax. Period,” he said.

“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!”

COFFEE BREAK - Conservative MP Jason Kenney spoke

reverse any of the NDP’s policies, Kenney noted that although he does hold some strong views on many of them, he doesn’t want to get into too many policy specifics.

“I’m trying to avoid getting into too many policy specifics at this stage because I want this to be a grassroots party. There has been too much top-down nonsense,” he said.

Kenney did address his stance on some of the larger issues that have come up

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!”

Decision reserved in Brian Malley appeal

BY ERIN FAWCETT RED DEER EXPRESS The Alberta Court of Appeal has reserved its decision on whether or not convicted murderer Brian Malley will get a new trial.

Malley, 57, had his appeal heard on Sept. 14th. It was initially scheduled for last fall and was put over to Jan. 6th before being adjourned to last May and rescheduled for Sept. 14th.

The Alberta Court of Appeal did not indicate when a decision regarding Malley’s request would be made.

On Feb. 24th, 2015 he was found guilty of first-degree murder, causing an explosion of an explosive substance likely to cause serious bodily harm, death or serious damage to property and sending or delivering to a person an explosive device in relation to the death of Victoria Shachtay in 2011.

Malley was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years – an automatic sentence for a first-degree murder conviction. He was also sentenced to serve four years concurrent-

also a single mother to a then seven-year-old girl.

Investigation showed Malley had known Shachtay for a number of years and acted as her financial adviser.

Shachtay received a settlement of $575,000 after

her accident. A $200,000 loan was also taken out on behalf of Shachtay. All of that money was gone within four years. Malley also supported her from his own personal account in the amount of $44,000.

During the course of the

six-week long trial, 50 witnesses testified and 100 exhibits were entered.

After the verdict was handed down former Crown Prosecutor Anders Quist said this case was one of the most cold-blooded that he has ever encoun-

tered. “The evidence shows him having worked on this bomb from July of 2011 to Nov. 25th of 2011. To carefully and methodically put those pieces together over that time with the intent to kill – that is pretty cold.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

POLICE BRIEFS BRIAN MALLEY ly with the life sentence for the explosive charges he was convicted of – two years for each charge.

Meanwhile, Malley’s charges stem after an explosion occurred inside Shachtay’s Innisfail residence in November 2011.

The incident occurred after a package disguised as a Christmas gift was delivered to the home which RCMP confirmed was the source of the explosion.

Malley was arrested in Red Deer on May 25th, 2012. Shachtay, 23, was disabled and in a wheelchair from a car collision that happened in 2004. She was

RCMP INVESTIGATE MICHENER SHOOTING Red Deer RCMP continue to investigate after a 29-year-old man was shot last week in the Michener Hill neighbourhood.

The incident happened shortly after 2 p.m. on Sept. 15th. Police said they do not believe this to be a random act and the public is not in danger.

RCMP were called to the scene at 2:20 p.m. in response to reports that a man had been shot as he walked in the area of 41st Ave. and 51A St. Police responded immediately and searched the area. The victim was shot in the shoulder and treated on scene by EMS before being transported to hospital for further treatment of this non-life-threatening injury.

Red Deer RCMP recovered a white

Ford F150 truck at 5 p.m. the same day it was involved in the shooting as it was parked in the Mountview neighbourhood; the truck had a stolen license plate on it.

RCMP continue to investigate and encourage anyone with information about this incident to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

ALLEGED IMPAIRED DRIVERS ARRESTED Red Deer RCMP arrested nine alleged impaired drivers over the past weekend four drivers were arrested during patrols on Friday night and five more on Sept.

10th.

RCMP Traffic members and gen-

by Erin Fawcett eral duty members arrested the nine impaired drivers during roving patrols across the City all that weekend.

One driver was arrested after police observed him driving almost 100 km/ hr in a 60 km/hr zone. When RCMP initiated a traffic stop, the vehicle attempted to flee police before getting cornered in a close. When he exited his vehicle, he was arrested for flight from police. Subsequent blood alcohol tests revealed he was well over the legal limit at .13.

RCMP arrested another driver whose blood alcohol content was at .24, three times the legal limit.

Citizens can report suspected impaired drivers by calling 911 when it is safe to do so, including the vehicle description, license plate, direction of travel and a description of the driver.

RED DEER EXPRESS 11

A local history of dancing in the community Dancing. It is one of the oldest human activities. As something which has been commonplace for millennia, the origins of dancing have long been long lost in the mists of time.

In Central Alberta, dancing was deeply rooted in the ancient cultures of the First Nations.

It was rich in symbolism and spiritual meaning. Dancing could be a means of conveying stories, celebrating successes, mourning losses and deepening the connections with family and fellow band members, as well as the natural world.

Dancing was also very important to the early pioneers.

A community dance was a means of meeting newcomers to an area and providing opportunities for socialization, recreation and fun.

Often these pioneer dances were held in the local schoolhouse.

However, they were also held in stopping houses (pioneer hostels), barns, private homes and just about any other place that could hold a reasonable crowd.

Places where dancing did not take place (at least not legally) were bars and beer parlours. There was an official and widespread public belief that mixing alcohol and dancing would lead to all kinds of inappropriate and immoral behaviors. Consequently, any consumption of alcohol at community

Opera House.

In 1906, the Red Deer Quadrille Club was formed.

Quadrilles were a popular form of group dancing, not that dissimilar from modern square dancing. The local Quadrille Club proved to be very popular, particularly with teenagers and young adults.

Disaster struck in December 1907 when the Opera House burned down. Because a deep recession had beset the community, it was never rebuilt. A farm machinery warehouse on Ross Street was converted into the Lyric Theatre.

However, the Lyric did not lend itself to the holding of dances very well. The renovations had been geared to the showing of the movies, a new and very popular form of public entertainment, which required numerous rows of fixed seats for the optimum viewing of the films.

Dances did continue to be held in such places as the local Oddfellow’s Hall, although this facility was quite small. In early 1913, the large St. Luke’s Parish Hall was built on Gaetz Avenue, north of MacLeod (54) St. The Anglican Church did not have the aversion to dancing that the Methodists did. Hence, the Parish Hall was frequently rented out for dances and similar social gatherings.

In 1913-1914, on the eve of the outbreak of the First World War,

Michael

DAWE dances almost always took place behind the hall, or at another place where it could not be easily seen.

A major obstacle for dancing in the Red Deer area was the attitude of such powerful groups as the Methodist Church. Devout Methodists did not believe in dancing. Methodists were traditionally the largest Christian denomination in Red Deer.

However, even the Methodist Church had to bend somewhat to the popularity of dances. Hence, the Church organized what were dubbed ‘conversaziones’.

People gathered in a hall, but instead of dancing, they would walk around the room to music in pairs, while having ‘interesting conversations’.

Dances in Red Deer got a big boost in 1903 with the construction of the Purdy Opera House, on Gaetz Avenue, south of Mann (49) St. While the Opera House was primarily used for plays, concerts, vaudeville shows and public meetings, dances were often held there as well. Beginning in 1904, the new Red Deer Fire Brigade held its popular annual balls at the

wages used by certain professions including live-in employees will rise, according to the official Alberta Government web site.

Minimum wage will increase again on Oct. 1st, 2017 by $1.40 to $13.60, with the final rise on Oct. 1st, 2018 of $1.40 to bring the minimum wage to the $15 per hour rate.

The Red Deer Chamber of Commerce issued a statement on the minimum wage topic on Sept. 13th. Reg Warkentin, policy and advocacy manager said, “The timing of the increase is especially poor considering the current state of the economy and other cost increases arising from recent provincial policy changes - including the incoming carbon levy.

“Basically, we are in support of helping the working poor, but feel the change to minimum wage is a blunt and ineffective instrument to do so. There are much more effective and targeted ways to help the impoverished.”

He added the Chamber of Commerce has had discussions on the issue and is concerned with the overall competitive nature of Alberta as a place to do business. He said this minimum wage increase could cause more problems to our economy.

“The problem with minimum wage increases is that it will affect a lot of people,” Warkentin said.

“We know from published work by Statistics Canada that only a small portion of minimum wage earners live in impoverished households.

We also know that a sizeable portion of those minimum wage earners are students and secondary earners in the household. The Government of Alberta also did not distinguish workers earning commission or tips from their data. So the point being with only a small number of minimum wage earners needing help, it would be more effective to do things like discount public transit cards, create affordable child care spaces, and more affordable housing.”

The Wildrose Official Opposition Party released a statement last week saying the minimum wage hike could put thousands of jobs at risk. “We pleaded with the NDP to put the brakes on their drastic minimum wage increase and listen to common sense for the good of the people we’re trying to support, like vulnerable workers across the province,” Wildrose Shadow Jobs Minister Grant Hunter said. “We asked them to do an economic impact study.

Their response was to assess as we go. By the time this government figures it out it may be too little and too late for struggling Albertans.” kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Set food free with a free lunch The City of Red Deer, Red Deer College (RDC) and the Recycling Council of Alberta (RCA) have teamed up to set food free and will be serving up a free lunch at Feed 500 Red Deer on Sept. 22nd.

Originating in London, England, Feeding the 5000 is a global movement that sheds light on the issue of food waste.

The idea is simple - feed 5,000 people – or 500 in the case of Red Deer – with food that would otherwise be thrown away - think imperfect produce, food that’s almost reached its best-before date and mislabeled food.

“Canadians throw out over 300 million meals a year, and food waste is one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions in the landfill,” said Lauren Maris, environmental program specialist, City of Red Deer. “Reducing waste, including food waste, is a key component of our Environmental Master Plan, and Feed 500 is a great way to educate residents on how to reduce their waste.”

At Feed 500 Red Deer, students from all three levels of Red Deer College’s Cook Apprentice program will prepare and serve food made entirely from food rescued from local growers, producers and grocery stores.

The Cook Apprentices are planning to prepare four different menu items but, as part of the excitement of the event, the final menu can only be determined once they have received all of the rescued ingredients.

In addition to serving a free lunch for 500 people, the goal of Feed 500 Red Deer is to divert 100 kg of food from the landfill.

Residents are invited to enjoy the free lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. (or until the food runs out) on Sept. 22nd in City Hall Park. It is also World Car Free Day so Red Deer Transit will also be free for the day.

Students benefiting from movement between classes

BY KALISHA MENDONSA RED DEER EXPRESS École Barrie Wilson Elementary School has been keeping a few steps ahead in terms of children’s physical activity by encouraging their students to have a little more fun moving from class to class.

The ‘Don’t Walk in the Hallway’ initiative, designed by Ever Active Schools, has been popular at École Barrie Wilson for three years, but the school has recently acquired some fun colourful shapes to develop their program. Students are encouraged to hop, skip, jump and be creative in the ways they move down the hallway.

Chris Good, principal of École Barrie Wilson, said with a laugh the students aren’t moving through the hallway with chaos, and that there is still a no-running rule, but that this little bit of movement has been highly beneficial to the students.

“The hallway tends to be a very passive environment where students walk quietly in a line and we want to turn that passive environment into an active one. What we do is put patterns on the floor, with various shapes, either designed by students or staff. Sometimes those patterns are as simple as a hopscotch pattern, but the idea would be hopping, skipping or jumping through the patterns, and that increases the activity level as students move from class to class,” Good said.

“This is really a more natural represen-

“THE BENEFITS OF HAVING THE EXTRA STEPS BETWEEN CLASSES INCLUDE AN INCREASE IN TIME SPENT ON-TASK BECAUSE THE KIDS HAVE GOTTEN SOME OF THEIR ENERGY OUT AND AREN’T ITCHING TO MOVE AROUND THE CLASSROOM.” NANCY MCKEAGE tation of the way kids who are four, five or six move. When kids walk alongside their parents, they’re not walking in a straight, quiet line. They’re jumping over cracks, or hopping around and having fun. In some ways, this is creating a more natural way for the kids to move and they have a lot of fun with it.”

Good said the program has developed within the school, and has come quite a way from the initial tape patterns utilized three years ago when the idea came to École Barrie Wilson.

“There are more and more schools doing this now. Ever Active has done a really good job of creating access to this program,” he said.

“In the first year, we were just using tape

38106 Range Road 275, Red Deer County, AB T4S 2L9

WWW.RDCOUNTY.CA

and made our own patterns but now Ever Active has created a resource for teachers with the shapes and ideas on how to build the patterns. Instead of using tape to make it work, we’ve got re-usable tiles and shapes that we can utilize in our hallways.

He said the program is easy to access for schools and fun and beneficial to the students.

Physical Education Program Director Nancy McKeage said she’s happy to see the program still being implemented in the school.

“The benefits of having the extra steps between classes include an increase in time spent on-task because the kids have gotten some of their energy out and aren’t itching to move around the classroom,” McKeage said.

“Any chance you can have more physical literacy - a hop, a skip, a jump or other

full-body movement- in a day, the kids develop more confidence in their movement and become better physical learners.

This leads them to be more active in their future lives.”

She said students get very excited, especially when new patterns are put down, and that it makes her glad to know the kids are getting a few extra steps in each day.

“Mr. Good and I had both heard about the Don’t Walk in the Hallway program to help try and increase those steps taken per day and activity in students, so we thought it would be great to have in our school. The kids get very excited, especially when a new pattern is laid out on the floor and the kids get to be creative with how they move through the patterns each time they use them.” kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

BY KALISHA MENDONSA RED DEER EXPRESS The Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools is still collecting a wide variety of instruments for the students of the district until Oct. 1st.

Band instruments, including brass, winds, percussion and more, can be dropped of at any City fire stations or at the Red Deer Public Schools District (RDPSD) office on 53rd St. “The really important part of this instrument drive is our priority as a district on equity in the schools. We don’t want a child’s circumstances to limit their educational potential,” said Bruce Buruma, executive director for the Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools.

“For us to be able to offer band to those students is incredible. There are good quality used instruments out there. We would love new instruments, but the reality is - especially with budgets and our economy music is a resource-intense program. However, musical education has huge benefits for students, even outside of that area of their lives.”

Buruma said the Foundation has already reached their initial goal of collecting 50 instruments, and is still accepting donations. He said the drive has been an incredible success with a variety of instruments being passed to the next generation of musicians.

“It’s been amazing to see what people have stored in their closets. We’ve had quite a lot of diversity in what people have donated,” he said.

Buruma said in addition to common band instruments such as trumpets and clarinets, there were some violins, guitars and even two pianos donated.

ing to help d e t it

“What we want to be able to do - and really, the ultimate purpose of this drive - is to have good quality instruments for our students to access, and for them to be able to access the instruments they want.

“What will inspire kids is being able to use the instrument that they would really like to play, so we’re really happy about the diversity in the instruments. Typically, a band would have a few trombones, a trumpet or two, flutes, clarinets and percussion so of course we’re looking for those, but we’ve had some more uncommon school band instruments such as a few violins and even a euphonium (brass instrument) come in.”

Donations will be opened up to all schools across RDPSD, but three schools in particular are looking to develop band programs - Lindsay Thurber, G.H Dawe and Normandeau. Lindsay Thurber is seeking to offer an introduction to band program, where G.H Dawe and Normandeau look to develop new programs entirely.

“Part of the challenge around music education is that it leads into itself. You have to have good musical education in middle schools to build up to the high school and even college levels. If a child doesn’t have access to musical education in middle school, the chance of them ever getting into a music education program in high school or later is much more limited,” Buruma said.

“We’re just thrilled that we have the opportunity for an introductory band program at Thurber, but we really want to ensure access to instruments in the middle school level as well.

“Many times people have moved on from their instrument or upgraded - this

is a way of getting those instruments out to continue to be played. They can’t make a sound from in the closet, but in a band room or a home practice, they can make music again.” kmendonsa@reddeerexpress.com

Shine On! fundraiser for education and health coming up

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS The Rotary Club of Red Deer East along with Tools for School Africa will be hosting the annual ‘Shine On!’ event on Sept. 29th with the Swingband Allstars as entertainment.

The event will be held at the Harvest Centre at Westerner Park. The evening will highlight new and gently used accessories for sale such as purses, jewellery, scarves and for the first time - men’s ties. Proceeds will go towards women’s education and health via Tools for Schools plus Rotary Club programs.

Tools for Schools Africa works to keep more girls in school and to help develop better educational opportunities for kids in northern Ghana. According to the web site, “We have done professional development with over 800 teachers to help improve

the quality of classroom teaching. We built a boarding house for junior high girls as many of them have no junior high schools in their own communities and must leave home to continue attending school.”

The biggest part of their project is educational scholarships for promising girls at junior high, senior high and post secondary levels. Including the 2015/2016 school year, they have supported the education of more than 120 girls. As to this year and bringing the Rotary Club of Red Deer East into the mix, Shine On! Chairperson Marilyn Pottage said it was decided that with changes in the educational reach of Tools for Schools in Ghana, there was room to add another group into the fundraiser who could benefit from the extensive support.

“We thought about the possibility of working with a secondary organization, and Rotary East seemed to be the perfect one,” said Pottage, who belongs to the

Club as well.

Neil Swensrude, also from the Club, has come onboard to help with the Shine On! event. “I think it’s important to know that the money raised will go to a lot of good causes,” he said. “As you know with Rotary, we are both local and international. We help the elderly, the infirm and we help youth.

So we are all over everything.”

Meanwhile, Pottage credits the success of the Shine On! fundraiser to a number of things, including the fact organizers aren’t trying to sell high-priced tickets or big ticket items.

“This appeals to number of people because number one, it’s affordable. We get moms with their daughters and their granddaughters coming, and quite often we get groups of office workers or school teachers that come together. It’s a lovely evening out, the price is very reasonable, you get a gift bag at the door, you get a free

glass of wine, you get a free dessert plate, there is live music all night plus you get the bargain shopping!”

The first year of Shine On! organizers sold jewellery and raised a whopping $23,000 far beyond what they had expected.

Meanwhile, plans have come together for what promises to be a tremendous and enjoyable evening - all for a great cause.

“We are once again providing a unique setting for women, daughters, sisters and mothers to come out and have a girls’ night in a 40’s atmosphere (men are also invited).

With music, wine, dessert, a silent auction and hundreds of items for sale (mostly from $5 to $20), it is bound to be a great time for everyone,” said Pottage. “Also, 1940s style costumes are encouraged.”

Tickets are $35 each, or $150 for a fivepack and are on sale at www.tfs-africa. org or you can call Allan at 403-304-8993. editor@reddeerexpress.com

ENTERTAINMENT Tim Neufeld & the Glory Boys bring their tour to City

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS With a brand new release having just dropped, Tim Neufeld & the Glory Boys present The Hootenanny! Tour featuring Ryan McAllister on Sept. 24th at CrossRoads Church.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the concert slated for 7 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.TimmyTour.com.

Neufeld is a Canadian singer-songwriter who hails from Winnipeg. He is a lead vocalist and guitarist and in 2000 along with his brother Jon Neufeld, they co-founded the successful and widely-recognized contemporary Christian band Starfield.

After releasing three independent albums and four albums with EMI/Sparrow Records with accompanying tours, Starfield is currently on hiatus while each brother pursues solo projects.

“This really started out of a vacuum following my brother and I deciding that the Starfield chapter didn’t necessarily need to wind down and retire, but definitely go on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time,” explained Tim during a recent chat.

“I always had a desire to write and perform, and at that point I wanted to do a ‘covers’ project.”

In June 2013, Tim released his first solo album Trees - a collection of worship songs written

by Christian artists such as Matt Redman, Gungor, Paul Baloche and All Sons and Daughters among others. He describes the tunes as important and influential cuts from his childhood and youth.

“It ended up really connecting with people.” Indeed - the project garnered him the GMA Canada Covenant Award 2013 for Modern Worship Album of the Year and the Juno 2014 Award for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year. “We toured it, and there was a really wide demographic that showed up mostly because I think the genre sort of fit.

that I think allows people to get outside of themselves a little bit - it implies footstomping and knee-slapping and hooting and hollering. It’s a genre that is really unlike any other, and that has a cool, rich history. It’s the soundtrack to the original migration from Europe - some of the beginnings of that.”

Tim’s third solo album Trees Chapter 2 - another project mostly consisting of covers - was released in the autumn of 2015.

“You get to choose from every song ever written,” he said. And what ended up on that project reflects something of what the guys’ show might be like. “There’s a good amount of old hymns and gospel tunes that are really familiar to everybody around the world, and then there is a bunch of originals.”

It’s all presented in what the band hopes is a joyful, enriching evening that is something of a blessing to folks as well.

For Tim, there really couldn’t be a more fitting ‘journey’ in life.

“I love hard work and I love the challenge of making an album and promoting it, booking a tour and all of the things that go along with it. It doesn’t feel like work - it feels like I’m fulfilling my destiny.

“I have a team of guys that feel exactly the same way. We’re a brotherhood, and that’s also a really important part of me loving what I do. They are my bros - not only do we get to do life together and be there for each other, love, support and encourage each other, we get to go up on stage and entertain, bless and be apart of so many individuals’ lives.”

Not that it’s all easy - life on the road means being away from his wife and three children for one thing. But there’s a blessing in it all, too.

“We get so much feedback that is so positive. One email would blow you away but when you get dozens of them, that’s amazing.

There is nothing really in life that in some ways is a better ‘job’ than that.” editor@redderexpress.com

Red Green brings his latest tour to Red Deer

BY MARK WEBER RED DEER EXPRESS Canada’s favourite ‘handyman’ will be stocking up on flannel shirts and duct tape and hitting the road this fall on his latest tour.

The ‘I’m Not Old, I’m Ripe Tour’ featuring Red Green (Steve Smith) arrives in Red Deer on Sept. 24th at the Memorial Centre.

Showtime is at 7 p.m.

Smith will be focusing on Red’s life - the twists, the turns, his insights and wisdom and of course the people he’s met along the way.

How did all this happen?

For Smith, new material for shows just pops up in his thoughts virtually all of the time, he said.

“For a long, long time I’ve had the kind of brain that just spits stuff out all the time - I’ve done 10 shows in the last 11 days, and every couple of days I write something down on a list.

“Nothing that has anything to do with what I’m doing - but it’s like, maybe down the road it might turn into something.

“It can be an absolute nuisance, but if you harness it, it can work out,”

he laughs.

“If I don’t use it for good, then I end up annoying my friends with it!”

‘I’m Not Old, I’m Ripe’ is a continuation of the highly successful tour that began this spring, landing in 25 cities in the U.S. It also follows his live performances across North America in his ‘How To Do Everything…from The Man who Should Know’ tour that crossed the country back in 2014.

Smith originally created the character of Red Green for his 1979–1985 sketch comedy series Smith & Smith.

The sketch was a parody of the long-running Canadian outdoors show

The Red Fisher Show (1968– 1989), starring BH ‘Red’ Fisher in which Red and his friends would show silent films of their fishing trips with commentary at ‘Scuttlebutt Lodge’.

Red Green also appeared in Me & Max and The Comedy Mill before becoming the focus of his own series, which ended in 2006 after a lengthy and successful run.

For those unfamiliar with show’s premise, Red Green was the president of the Possum Lodge, a men’s club in the Ontario town of Possum Lake near the also-fictional town of Port Asbestos.

He and fellow lodge mem-

bers had their own TV show in which they gave lessons and demonstrations in repair work and outdoor activities and advice for men.

As for Red Green’s enduring popularity, Smith credits the appeal of the character to audiences.

There’s something comfortable, simple and even rather innocent about Red Green and his surroundings, and folks want to check into that place. “I would say the consistent thing from what the audience tells me is that they have someone in their family that I remind them of,” he said.

“Number two - they really like that relative. So I’m the beneficiary - they

project their feelings about that relative who may no longer be with us - onto me. They like the Red Green character, but subliminally they’re connecting me with someone they cared for in their own family or within their friends.

“It’s fantastic.” There is a sense of nostalgia there, too. One woman told him Red Green was a show she used to watch with her dad.

“These days, everyone is watching a different show up in their bedrooms on their phones.”

Signs you may have a hormone imbalance Irritable, tired and slowly gaining weight - sound familiar? You may have a hormone imbalance.

Your body is a complex system.

When all its parts are working the way they should, everything is healthy and balanced. In order for all body systems to function properly, chemical messengers called hormones are produced and travel throughout the body telling various parts what to do. Out of the 50 or so various hormones, there are certain ones that play major roles. For women, it’s estrogen and progesterone.

When these hormones fall out of balance and you wind up with too much or too little of one or more, you will likely experience unpleasant symptoms. Mimicking other health conditions, a hormone imbalance is often overlooked as the root cause. During pregnancy, menopause, or before or during menstruation, it’s normal for a woman’s hormones to be out of whack to some degree. But at other times in life, a hormone imbalance isn’t normal and should be evaluated.

If you’re a woman and deal with any of the following symptoms, talk with your doctor about a simple blood test to check your hormone levels.

“Many marriages break up over hormonal imbalance, which is truly sad because it comes from a lack of understanding. When hormones are put back in the balance with natural bio-identical hormones, a woman or man resumes their normal life of feeling good and having days filled with quality.” - Suzanne Somers Symptom 1: Fatigue Feel tired all the time, even after a good night’s rest? Daytime sleepiness and a lack of energy are two telltale signs your body’s producing too much progesterone. On the other hand, too little progesterone causes the opposite problem, leaving you with trouble falling asleep and staying asleep at night.

Low estrogen levels may even

Jack

WHEELER lead to night sweats and hot flashes, both which also keep you from getting quality sleep.

Symptom 2: Irregular Cycle A normal menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days. Sooner or later than this, skipping months, or spotting between cycles can signal an estrogen or progesterone imbalance or the beginning of menopause.

Symptom 3: Acne Wonder why you’re breaking out like you did in middle school? You thought those days were over! Adult acne is both distressing and annoying but is often a sign of excess testoster-

one in men and women.

Symptom 4: Moody Before your period you can expect to be moody, blue, and irritable (everyone watch out!), but when you feel this throughout the month, it could be hormone-related. Estrogen levels affect other brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine that directly affect your mood and outlook on life.

Symptom 5: Increased Appetite What can happen when you’re feeling depressed? You eat more.

For this reason, drops in estrogen are associated with weight gain. Estrogen also works to increase the amount of leptin (the hormone that boosts hunger) your body produces.

Symptom 6: Lack of Libido Testosterone plays a principle role in a woman’s sex drive.

Without enough of this hormone

you just won’t feel like having sex.

Symptom 7: Dry Down “There” As if you don’t already have enough to worry about with hot flashes and night sweats, another common problem for women during perimenopause and menopause is vaginal dryness.

Causing painful or uncomfortable sex, this problem is most often the result of low estrogen levels.

Symptom 8: Headaches An eighth unusual symptom of a hormonal imbalance is frequent headaches. Yes, it may be stress or the aged wine and cheese, but it could also be a drop in estrogen. This is why a good number of women experience headaches like clockwork each month.

So, as you can see there is a lot at play here and a lot on the line.

This is not one of those things that you let slide day after day.

If you are experiencing any of these issues to a large degree, we suggest you go get checked by a doctor real quick, it can’t hurt and it’s worth knowing.

After that, the best thing you can do for your body is to start a weight training and strength training routine. Time after time and study after study, training has been proven to help balance and restore hormone production, utilization and secretion. It is absolutely the best thing you can do for yourself.

So start by taking care of your self first before turning to pills or meds. You are worth it. Invest time and energy into yourself, it will always pay off BIG. Jack Wheeler is a personal trainer and the owner of 360 Fitness in Red Deer.

If Clinton becomes president, will her hair turn gray?

What is it that makes our hair turn several shades of gray as we get older?

I’m sure many of us recall the first streaks of gray and realize we are older whether we like it or not.

It’s a time when we start to wonder, “Is it age that’s causing the gray? Or have we been doing something wrong?”

Maybe too much stress or excessive work? Or is the result, according to one 19th century dermatolo-

Dr. Gifford

JONES gist, due to overindulgence in sexual appetite? But why will Hillary Clinton never have white hair if she wins the White House?

We’ve all heard stories

about people going gray overnight due to overwhelming anxiety.

For instance, there are historical reports that this happened to Marie Antoinette the night before she was beheaded by angry mobs in France.

The same has been said about Thomas Moore, Archbishop of Canterbury, before he too was killed by knights faithful to King Henry VIII. There is no hard proof

this happened. Nor will there ever be. After all, I’m sure no one will be persuaded to participate in a scientific double-blind study of this problem!

Nevertheless, a report in the University of California Wellness Letter says that stress can hasten the appearance of gray hair.

I must admit that the question of why hair turns gray has never been one of my major medical concerns compared with many other serious medical topics.

To my knowledge gray hair has never killed anyone, so why bother about it?

But since many people become concerned about graying, it would be good to know what triggers the change. Studies do show that what keeps hair black or dark are cells in the hair follicle called melanocytes.

These cells produce a pigment called melanin and as we age less and less melanin is produced. But it’s not the original hair that turns gray. Rather, it’s the new hair that grows in with less melanin.

But why is it that some people become gray early in life and others later on?

Two reasons are gender and race. For instance, in 2012 the British Journal of Dermatology published a survey of 4,000 middle-aged people from around the world. Some 74% of those aged 45 to 65 had gray hair, but men were more affected than women. And people of Asian and African descent had less gray hair at any age than Caucasians.

Since I always try to find reasons why people should not smoke, here is another one. In 2013, a report in the Indian Dermatology Online Journal, stated that smokers were two and a half times more likely to be gray before the age of 30 than non-smokers.

The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology reported the same findings.

The cause was believed to be the formation of free radicals produced by smoking.

Free radicals are the by-products left over during metabolism and are believed to be associated with the aging process.

As you might suspect there have been some studies that associate gray hair with a number of

illnesses. But there is no concrete proof that HIV infection, Hodgkin’s Disease, or severe iron deficiency increase the risk of premature graying.

So what will happen to Hillary Clinton’s hair if she becomes the first female President of the United States?

If this were a Trivial Pursuit question you would think it was merely a matter of time before her hair started to whiten. Have we ever seen a U.S. President who hasn’t gone noticeably gray while in the White House? Just look at the shades of gray in President Obama’s hair after eight years in the White House.

So how long will it take to see these changes in Clinton?

This is one Trivial Pursuit question we would all miss because we will never see it happen.

Clinton recently remarked on the campaign trail that, “You will never see my hair turn white in the White House because I’ve been colouring it for years.”

Kings pick up first win as Queens surge for two victories

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The Red Deer College Kings’ soccer team were looking for a little more than a split decision heading into a pair of matchups last Saturday and Sunday.

After getting the 2016-17 season off to a slow start by dropping a 4-0 decision to Lakeland College at home a week ago, a relatively young Kings’ side were able to put in a pair of solid efforts against Lethbridge at the RDC field.

“It’s a good start. You’ve got to get the first one. You can’t have any more until you get the first one, so we needed to get one, especially at home early in the season,” said Kings’ Head Coach Wade Groenewegen after his squad battled to a 2-0 victory on Saturday afternoon. “We pressed boots a lot quicker than we did last weekend, we were more familiar with where each other were so our defensive shape was a lot better and more consistent today than last week for sure.”

A pair of early goals turned out to be the difference maker in Saturday’s tilt, as the Kings struck quickly in the first half.

Midfielder Mark Ibbotson laid claim to the Kings’ first goal of the fresh season in the sixth minute to give his team a 1-0 lead before Skylar Roth widened the gap to 2-0 just six minutes later to give his team a 2-0 lead heading into the half.

“Our stuff with the ball was mostly more patient. We’ve still got to stick to some of that stuff we’re doing during the week a bit more, but there’s definitely growth in the right direction,” Groenewegen said. “It was fairly even, it’s not like Lethbridge was a bad team or didn’t show up today. We had some quality chances, probably could have put a couple more away, but we did bury ours and they didn’t bury any of theirs.”

From the 12th minute onwards the spotlight belonged to the Kings’ defense and goaltender Raymond Fox, who kept out all nine shots he faced for the win.

“Ray was big when we needed him to be big. We bent but we didn’t break today. We didn’t give up any high quality opportunities today,” Groenewegen said.

Despite a couple of injuries in the midfield which forced some changes, the Kings’ defense were able to quell a surging Kodiaks side in the dying minutes to secure the victory.

The momentum from the win didn’t carry over to Sunday’s match in quite the way the Kings had planned though as the

BATTLE - From left, Yenner Teah of the Red Deer College Kings battled with Joel Arrieus of the Lethbridge College Kodiaks during regular season ACAC action at the RDC soccer field last weekend. The Kings came away from the matchup with a 2-0 victory. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express team hosted the Medicine Hat College Rattlers.

Despite keeping pace with the Rattlers’ forwards in the shots department, the Kings weren’t able to find the back of the net as they fell 2-0. The up and down weekend brings the Kings’ record to 1-2 on the season, which puts them in fourth place in the ACAC South division.

Meanwhile, the RDC Queens soccer team have been making their presence known in the ACAC of late, collecting two wins and a tie in their last three matches to put themselves in second place in the ACAC South.

Goalkeeper Jessie Stewart has been solid between the pipes for the Queens, stopping all but one of the 15 shots she

Titans book trip Vipers set for season to City final

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS

BY ZACHARY CORMIER RED DEER EXPRESS The Red Deer Titans men’s team is City finals bound after a resounding victory over the Calgary Canucks in the Calgary Rugby Union semi-final game at Titans Rugby Park last weekend.

“The guys played really well. Execution was the best I’ve seen all year, so the timing works out good coming into playoffs,” said Titans’ Head Coach Mike Berry after Saturday afternoon’s win, which saw the Titans romp to an 82-3 final score.

Right from the opening kick it was clear that the Titans were a team on a mission, as a huge run turned their first possession of the game into their first try.

“It’s always a nice way to start the game,” Berry laughed of the run, which kickstarted the Titans’ prolific offense.

“Even towards the end of the game they’d kick it off and we’d score after a couple of phases. We had a few silly penalties but for the most part we were in control of the game.”

The win was the culmination of a successful season for the Titans who, at 13-0, have not lost a single league game this year.

“The guys know for the most part what they’re doing. They listen well and the guys get along with one another, which is

great. Everybody there is supporting the guy beside them,” Berry said, adding that that familiarity has paid off hugely on the pitch for the Red Deer team, especially in Saturday’s game against the Canucks.

“It was just execution. We had a game plan, we stuck to it and the guys executed it to a ‘T’. So obviously it worked.

Now we’ve got to get back and get ready for the City final this coming Saturday,” Berry said.

Although the Titans have been the top team in the league so far this season, Berry said they won’t be taking anything for granted as they head into Saturday’s game against the Calgary Knights.

“We played them our very first game of the year. I know they were missing a few players because they were dealing with the Fort Mac fires. It’ll be a really good game because the only game they’ve lost to was us at the beginning of the year.

So they’ll be quite strong and we’ll need to come out of the gate like we did this weekend.”

The Calgary Rugby Union 3rd Division City Finals between the Red Deer Titans and the Calgary Knights will take place this Saturday at noon at the Calgary Rugby Park. The winner of the game will advance to the provincial final against the champion from the Edmonton Rugby Union. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

A new season in a new building could be just what the Red Deer Vipers need to get themselves to the top of the Heritage Junior Hockey League.

The Vipers kicked off the 2016-17 HJHL season in promising fashion last weekend as they began their first season at the Collicutt Centre with a huge 4-0 shutout victory over the Ponoka Stampeders, Saturday night.

Though a 5-3 loss to the defending champion Mountainview Colts put a bit of a damper on the team’s Collicutt Centre debut, Vipers’ Head Coach JD Morrical said he was excited about what he saw from his young squad.

“The team we have this year, we have a lot of new players, we don’t have very many returning guys which I don’t really mind.

It’s not that bad. It just takes awhile to get them to play the way me and (assistant coach) Kaare (Odegard) want them to play,” Morrical said of his team’s play in the first two games of the regular season.

He added even though they didn’t get the result they wanted against the defending champs in Didsbury on Friday, he was happy that his group was able to keep pace with the Juggernaut.

“They had a lot of their guys back from last year and they looked pretty solid, but we hung in there with them.”

Saturday night’s game against Ponoka, however, was an entirely different story.

“We just played a good, solid game. We didn’t really give up much.

We had excellent goaltending that night, too.

Branden Bilodeau played on Saturday against Ponoka for the shutout,” Morrical said.

Although the Vipers had a slow start to the game, all it took was one goal to open up the flood gates.

Tye Munro, Tristan Zarubiak, Brett Marsollier and Justin Van Tetering all contributed goals for the Vipers on the way to the shutout win.

Morrical said the move to the Collicutt Centre is going to be a bit of an adjustment for the Vipers after the team spent more than 16 years at the

Red Deer Arena.

“It’s a totally different feel for us. New ice, everything is new but it was good to get the win. We just played a really, really solid game. There was really no stress at any time and I think once we get a couple of these new guys back, as well, I think our offense will be even better.”

After playing the role of host for the Hockey Alberta Junior B provincials last season, the Vipers will be looking to win their way back into the prestigious tournament.

“We kind of talked to the team about it and they all said the goal this year is basically the same as last year - to win the league and to win provincials as well. I think we definitely have the team that can do it. Last year we were hosting provincials and there was a little added pressure there, but I think without that this year I think we can do some really good things.”

The Red Deer Vipers are in action this Friday when they travel north to take on the Airdrie Lighting. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Revel in the beauty that autumn has to offer It is time to decorate for fall!

Drag out your pumpkins and throw cinnamon on everything and enter into a fall festival of cinnamon scented orange candles as you sip your favourite nutmeg laced beverage.

It is the best time of year to pull out all the stops and enter into a frenzy of fashionable fall footwear and cozy scarves.

Bring out your cheerful thick socks and slip them into those long forgotten boots you have dragged out of the back of your closet. Its time!

If you were able to read through the syrupy sweetness of that first paragraph, I congratulate you.

We are bombarded with fall ridiculousness which makes us think if we aren’t walking a copper coloured dog through a riot of leaves wearing the latest knitted fashions then we aren’t doing fall properly.

If our house isn’t wearing the right finish or showing the correct types of

Kim

WYSE candles burning on our stone hearth fire place, then we are fall failures.

How about taking things easier this fall?

What about the mindset that puts us back into lazy Sundays where we put warm comfort food in the oven and relax while it is simmering away?

Why don’t we enjoy a few cool days where we can wear boots so we don’t have to worry and stress over our pedicure? Don’t we all secretly love cooler temperatures where we can wear long pants which possibly cover an unshaved leg or two?

Fall is for covering up and being cozy and warm but it is a fantastic season for

comfort and a little bit of relaxation on our impossible standards.

Instead of worrying about the perfect fall accessories; revel in the beauty of what this season has to offer and adorn your house with natural scents and products.

Dive deep into markets offering jewel-toned vegetables and use them for a beautiful display which is at the ready for you to create a delicious borscht or to present a sizzling pan of roasted root veggies in all splendor of colours from purple to red, orange and golden yellow.

Your warmth can come from delicious scents of baked goods and rich coffee which you can have ready for guests who may stop in or for neighbours you can invite in from the cold after leaf raking or a fall garage sale.

I guarantee people will be more impressed with your presentation of fall beauty than they will with the latest ‘must-have’ from Pier 1. Displays and

décor can have dual purpose and can warm your home perfectly while providing hospitality and nourishment.

Last year, I went to a party and saw a dish of homemade pickles on the counter which another guest had brought. Was I impressed with her décor and festive touches around the house? Sure I was but when I saw that dish it looked like the most beautiful thing in the world for me and instantly it made me feel festive and seasonal because it reminded me of my mom.

You never know what nostalgia awaits when you decorate FOR fall WITH fall; the colours are gorgeous and will bring warmth and stunning depth to any décor and will be waiting for when you have a craving for butternut squash soup to sip while you walk your dog.

How to kill your mortgage approval Once upon a time there was a lovely young couple who saved and saved and saved all of their pennies for the down payment on a home. They met with a friendly mortgage professional to get a pre-approval and quickly provided all the required documentation.

Their bright eyed real estate professional helped them to navigate the home buying process when they had discovered their dream home. The I’s were dotted and the T’s were crossed on all of the forms the lawyer set before them and so at long last they sat back to gleefully await the day the keys to their castle would be handed to them. The end, right?

Alas it is not. This story which should have the happiest of endings does not.

Our heros made a choice after the approval was granted but before the possession of the home which has killed their mortgage and put their dreams on hold.

Unfortunately all too often we see people make this mistake and so this week we are going to look at the things you must never do during the mortgage process.

Or at least you should never do any of them without first asking your mortgage professional how it will affect your approval.

1. Change jobs. There may be an amazing opportunity for you at a new company but before you accept please keep the following in mind: a. Will you be on probation? Lenders will not accept probationary employment. b. Is the new income paid the same as

Pam

PIKKERT your current? By this I mean if there is any bonus, overtime or commission aspect to your pay you may be killing your approval. These types of income require a two-year history before they are acceptable to the lenders and CMHC. c. Are you now considered as a contractor or even self-employed? Once again we require a two-year history unless you are working in the exact same field as before and have an amazing contract in place and even then things have become tricky. d. Have you decided that you are simply unable to continue for personal reasons?

Here’s the thing, the lender has approved you based on the information you provided and they verified. Unfortunately for you that means that you need to maintain the status quo until you take possession of the new home.

2. Buy a vehicle. Your car may finally have given up on you and you have to buy a new one but before you do call your mortgage pro to make sure the monthly payment will not put your affordability ratios out of line.

3. Change your credit picture. Do not pay for 12 months, 18 equal payments, a new line of credit or maxing out your credit cards can all affect your affordabil-

ity ratios and kill your mortgage approval.

Again, a quick call to your mortgage professional is all that is needed to find out if any of these things will be a problem.

4. Your credit score drops. The other thing to watch is that you make all of your payments on time. If you have chosen to build a home the lender will be pulling your credit again prior to possession and if your credit score has dropped because of late payments or maxed out

credit cards they have the right to cancel the approval.

So please, do not put yourself at risk and make sure that you keep your financial picture consistent throughout the mortgage process to ensure that your mortgage story ends happily. Until next time!
