Rallies planned against the carbon tax Red Deer rally to take place Nov. 5th Zachary Cormier Express staff

Central Albertans who are opposed to the Alberta government’s proposed carbon tax will have an opportunity to voice their concern, this coming Saturday.

Red Deer will be one of 12 different centres across the province hosting rallies as part of the Alberta Wide Rally movement on Nov. 5th.

“We are a group as individuals that are vehemently opposed and disappointed with the manner in which the carbon tax has been not only imposed on the people of Alberta, but certainly what (Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau is doing federally,” said Todd Beasley, the organizing director of the Alberta Wide Rally movement.

“We state this categorically: neither (Alberta Premier) Rachel Notley nor Justin Trudeau went

to the people, explained why they were doing this and ultimately asked for a mandate from the people. What we’re so outraged about is this isn’t a new street light or a new intersection or a new road for that matter.

This has implications of massive societal change.”

Beasley said his group believes the new tax would erode the competitiveness of Alberta and Canada and would be a major blow to Alberta’s already-struggling economy.

“We believe imposing a tax — certainly on the people of Alberta at this point in time when we’re in such serious economic straights is not only irresponsible, but it’s just plain cruel.”

The proposed Climate Leadership Implementation Act, more commonly known

DESTRUCTION - A house in Balmoral Heights east of Red Deer was destroyed by a fire late on Saturday night. As of press time, no Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express further details about the fire had been released. as the carbon tax, would impose levies which target 23 different types of fuel and which would take effect on Jan. 1st, 2017.

The goal of the rallies, which will all be held simultaneously across Alberta, is to garner support from Albertans on a petition which will demand a referendum or plebiscite on the proposed carbon tax.

Beasley, who is from Calgary, said the movement’s goal will be to collect 500,000 to one million signatures for the petition.

“I’m very delighted with this: as of late last night we heard back from the legislative secretary on our suggested wording

that we wanted to go ahead and use in this petition. We had

three go-rounds going back and forth with the secretary at the legislature. We now have a form of a petition that as long as we go forward and garner the signatures in the manner that we’ve described and use the words that we’ve asked for a pre-authorization on, it will be a petition that will be accepted by the Legislature,” he said.

“It would from that point forward be absolutely undeniable that the NDP government of Alberta does not have the support of the people, or certainly a large percentage of the people.

“We believe that the Notley government believes that what

they’re doing is right, but bottom line they have not gone to the people to ask for that mandate and if they do believe that what they’re doing is right they should have no problem going to the people, stating their case and asking for that mandate.”

The non-violent rallies, Beasley said, will be non-partisan in nature and will be taking place in Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Camrose, Drayton Valley, Edmonton, Hanna, Airdrie, Calgary and Brooks.

The Red Deer Rally will take place in front of City Hall beginning at 12 p.m. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Cornerstone Youth Theatre opens doors to the theatre world Current show reflects the troupe’s commitment to theatrical excellence Mark Weber Express staff

C

ornerstone Youth Theatre is in the midst of staging their newest production Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - another example of how the organization provides local young people with an opportunity to be involved in quality theatrical experiences.

The shows continue Nov. 4th-5th at New Life Fellowship Church, with curtain at 7 p.m. as well as a 3 p.m. matinee on Nov. 5th. The story follows the Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colours.

As the synopsis reads, “when he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continuously challenged.

“Eventually, his brothers find themselves grovelling at his feet - the brother they no longer recognize after so many years.

“After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel.”

The legendary show is of course packed with all kinds of engaging tunes, set to genres from country-western to calypso to bubble gum pop and rock ‘n roll. Tickets can be purchased online at www.CornerstoneYouthTheatre.org or by calling the box office at 403-9862981.

The production is the latest in a long line of successive hits for the homegrown organization, which is an educational children’s theatre arts society for students ages six to 18 in Central Alberta.

They offer theatre arts summer camps and after-school sessions of theatre classes, acting classes, voice classes, dance classes, and other specialty classes.

Cornerstone is also unique in that it offers plenty of theatrical opportunities for younger students, said Stephanie Orr, artistic director of Cornerstone Youth Theatre.

“What we can bring to the community is an opportunity for elementary aged kids and middle school children.

We have teenagers in our programs, but they also have more options than the little kids do.

“So we kind of provide a place for children to explore make-believe, pretending and acting and singing - and to get stronger in those areas,” she explained, adding that Cornerstone is also a good option for folks who live in rural areas and may have even less choice when it comes to getting their

MUSICAL MORNING - Members of the Cornerstone Youth Theatre rehearsed their rendition of Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat. The show runs this Friday and Saturday at New Life Fellowship Church.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express kids involved in theatre.

Orr, who has been with Cornerstone since 2011, said that mainstage shows are a wonderful opportunity for the kids to utilize the skills that they are learning. “We also couldn’t do it without the families of the kids who are involved,” she said.

This can mean family members being along for the ‘ride’ as their son or daughter hones his or her skills during the course of rehearsals leading up to a particular production.

“Red Deer has an incredible volunteer base - I would say that we’ve developed an incredible, and always changing, volunteer core as well.

They’re willing to work alongside their kids, and that’s what helps make our shows. When our shows really click, that is what it’s based on.

“It’s based on the grandma who can sew and is willing to sew three skirts for us; the dad who works on the church tech team and is going to come in and set up our tech. So we are

really community-driven.

“Our staff is also really knowledgeable. What our staff brings is knowledge in the theatre arts with children or how to build things quickly, how to re-purpose costumes, how to make a

visual picture with the least amount of strain possible on our volunteers. We bring that knowledge to the table, and we kind of steer things, but really it is the parents who often really want to be supportive of their children - but they don’t often have opportunities to

work ‘alongside’ their children.

“They have lots of opportunities to cheer from the sidelines. But there are fewer opportunities when they are in something where they are actually engaged with their kids, and their kids’ friends.

“So there are opportunities for parents to shine, too, and to bring those gifts. Adults often have tonnes of talent and creativity that they don’t get to utilize.”

Ultimately, Cornerstone Youth Theatre provides a wide range of parts that fit with the various levels of experience and confidence that the kids bring with them.

But of course, it’s a joy to see how they grow as rehearsals unfold.

“I’m inspired when I see little kids pretend. And we’ve worked with a lot of kids - our enrolment might be anywhere from 80 to 120 per session - so we are seeing a broad spectrum of the kids in Red Deer. And when they pretend, even just in class, when

they pretend to be an opera singer or a monkey for example, they do it with such reckless abandon,” she adds with a laugh.

“Even the shy ones, when they see another 20 kids doing it, it’s just contagious. You get these little children who just give it 100 per cent. The bar is raised and little kids just come right up to it. So that’s what I love - I love the pretending and I love that after opening night, they aren’t too worried about the fact that there are 300 people watching them.”

Things are kept ‘even’ across the board, too.

Each production is seen as truly a team effort. There is no room for ‘divas’; there is no ‘executive coffee lounge’, added Orr with a chuckle.

“We are all in it together, and they all influence each other so well that way.” mark.weber@reddeerexpress.com

Erin Fawcett Express staff

Red Deer’s new police chief is looking forward to tackling challenges that face the City in terms of crime.

Supt. Ken Foster has been on the job in Red Deer for just over a week, but he has a rich history with the RCMP. Born in Calgary and spending much of his youth in Innisfail, Foster joined the RCMP in 1991.

“I had an uncle who was in the RCMP and when I met my wife, she had an uncle who had been in the RCMP,” he said of his first interest in joining the police service. “I’ve always had an interest in emergency service stuff, too - I was a volunteer firefighter in Innisfail. I think you are wired to that world.”

Foster was sworn in in Red Deer before going to Regina to complete his training. After graduation, Foster’s first post was in Mission, B.C. In 1995, Foster was stationed in Fort Providence in the Northwest Territories and in 1997 he moved into Rankin Inlet in Nunavut. In 1999 Foster moved to work in Grande Prairie before being promoted to corporal in Stettler. In 2004, Foster was again promoted, this time to Sergeant in Fort Chipewyan and then to Staff Sergeant in Strathmore.

perspective,” he said.

Meanwhile, Foster said he looks forward to making a positive impact in the Red Deer community.

“I’m excited to be here.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

GET AHEAD OF THE CROWD YOUR CAREER TRAINING STARTS NOW! IN CHARGE - Red Deer’s new officer in charge Supt. Ken Foster is excited to begin his new position.

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express Foster oversaw nine detachments in southern Alberta while working in Calgary in 2007 and in 2009 he moved to work at the Edmonton headquarters for a unique role as the division Staff Sergeant major.

“In 2011 I wanted to fulfill a dream of serving in all three northern territories and a job opportunity came up to go to the Yukon. Shortly after arriving there I became commissioned to inspector and I oversaw all the detachments outside of Whitehorse, so there were 12 along with our air services, our

dog section, traffic unit, IDent unit, relief unit and then the support unit.”

In August 2015 Foster made his way to St. Albert before coming to Red Deer. “Here I am - that is the full circle. Not many people get to do that,” he said referring to growing up in Innisfail during his youth and working in Red Deer in his younger years as well.

Foster said what brought him back to the Central Alberta area were many things.

“I’ve always enjoyed Central Alberta and we have lots of fam-

ily and lots of friends here. I like the culture, the lifestyle, the closeness to the west country, the farming and agriculture,” he said. “Red Deer is our largest municipal detachment in the province so the challenges of that are appealing as well.”

As for highlights of his career, Foster said one of them would be meeting a wide variety of people.

“The different cultures and the different environments I have worked in everything from quite a large East Indian population to Cree - the var-

E N P I O N G D N A Big Or Small, R G We Pawn It All! T he staff at Lucky’s Pawn Shop is very excited to introduce customers across Red Deer and Central Alberta to their tremendous selection and their absolute commitment to top-notch customer service as the company celebrates its grand opening this weekend.

Hailing from Calgary, Tawfiq ‘T’ Kara, Gene Mantle and Alexa McMurtry are all partners in the newly-formed business, and each are excited about showing local customers what will set the business apart from other pawnshops in the area.

Grand opening special events run Nov. 5th-6th. Customers will be able to enjoy free food and beverages while browsing through the business and getting to know the friendly staff.

“What sets us apart is our experience and our customer service,” explained Kara, adding the goal is also to broaden and bolster the perception of what pawnshops can ultimately offer.

Mantle agreed. “It’s our

experience and our willingness to take things that maybe other pawnshops wouldn’t, and to also give a fair price on those items.”

They also are looking forward to connecting with local residents who are on the lookout for particular items. “We offer that level of customer service on the floor, too. Going out there and helping the customer look for what it is they are trying to find,” added McMurtry.

Between Kara, Mantle and McMurtry, more than 25 years of experience will be available to customers. Add to that a convenient location directly across from Pizza 73 at 4908 - 43rd St. and in a space that exudes a welcoming, clean and bright look, and there is no doubt the venture will be a success in the community.

Kara also promises plenty of variety in terms of stock, including everything from

tools, electronics and musical instruments to workout equipment, ATVs and yes, even motorbikes – thanks to an abundance of room onsite as well.

He said they also give money for diamonds with appraisals – which he said isn’t typically done in pawnshops.

“We also give top dollar on gold and top dollar on high-end electronics, guitars and audio equipment,” he said.

“Another thing that sets us apart from other pawn shops is that we will be able to take those motorbikes and ATVs and those kinds of bigger things because we have the warehouse space,” he said, adding they have 4,200 sq. ft. to display items and build up a solid and diverse inventory. And as Kara pointed out, with tough economic times these days, many pawnshops are approached with items they simply don’t have room for any longer.

Not so at Lucky’s Pawn Shop.

“We have 4,200 square feet of space to fill up, so we are welcoming everyone,” he noted.

“That’s why our slogan is, ‘Big or small, we

pawn it all’.

Indeed. And at this point, as the finishing touches are being put on the renovated space, Kara said he and his partners are really looking forward to opening the doors and showcasing what the business has to offer. “We are welcoming pretty much anything and everything.”

For Kara, launching the business brings to mind everything he loves about the industry as a whole. “It’s a fun job – interacting with the customers, meeting new people and hearing all the stories. We meet a lot of great people. Plus it’s always busy – there is always something to do. Either working on different projects or meeting new customers – anything along those lines.”

THE ‘MOVEMBER’ Remembering local theatre MOVEMENT enthusiast Carole Forhan A I s men around the world have begun to grow their moustaches as ‘Movember’ kicked off earlier this week, it’s a reminder of what a terrific cause this really is both as a fundraiser and an awareness-builder.

Local businesses are also getting behind the cause with many encouraging their male staff and clients to help raise money for prostate cancer research as well. The Movember movement was launched back in 2003 by some guys in Australia who wanted to bring back the moustache into fashion while raising money for prostate cancer research. There are now formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and Ireland.

People around the world have since taken up the cause, and today Movember is truly an international fundraising success. According to the website Movember & Sons, the campaign is also serving as an effective ‘awareness-building’ tool. Since its inception, the Movember movement has raised $759 million and funded over 1,000 programs focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

According to Movember Canada, each year around 23,600 new cases are diagnosed in Canada and close to 4,000 Canadian men die of the disease every year. Statistics show that one in eight Canadian men will develop prostate cancer during his lifetime and one in 28 will die of it.

While there are cases of prostate cancer showing up in younger men, it is recommended that men begin an annual screening at age 50 and at age 40 if there is a family history.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, prostate cancer is a malignant tumour that starts in cells of the prostate. Malignant means that it can spread, or metastasize, to other parts of the body. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian men. It usually grows slowly and can often be completely removed or managed successfully. Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer include changes in bladder habits; need to urinate often (frequency), especially at night; intense need to urinate (urgency); difficulty in starting or stopping the urine flow; inability to urinate; weak or decreased urine stream; interrupted urine stream; a sense of incompletely emptying the bladder; burning or pain during urination; or blood in the urine, among others.

Meanwhile, getting behind the cause is easy - Mo Bros sign up and start clean shaven on Nov. 1st. They grow and groom their moustaches for 30 days of Movember all the while raising funds and awareness for men’s health. This is a campaign that has really taken off world-wide, not only with men taking part but women can get involved by becoming a ‘Mo Sista’. Mo Sistas not only help to fundraise for the cause as well, but they also work to build awareness regarding prostate cancer and encourage the ‘Mo Bros’ in their lives to get checked.

As for the campaign, last year, globally, nearly 485,720 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas took part in Movember and raised $82.3 million. In Canada, participants raised $17.5 million. Besides fundraising for prostate cancer research, Movember representatives say they will also continue to work to change habits and attitudes men have about their health and to educate men about the health risks they face. It’s great to see this kind of support, and it’s a unique initiative that everyone can get behind.

Numerous weapons seized in recent bust Erin Fawcett Express staff

A MAC-11 subcompact machine gun was one of seven firearms seized by ALERT in a series of drug raids in Red Deer and Sylvan Lake. Six people were arrested in a three-month investigation.

ALERT’s Red Deer organized crime and gang team concluded the investigation on Oct. 12th with the search of three residences in Sylvan Lake and one home in Red Deer. The search warrants came as part of a drug trafficking investigation with assistance from RCMP Sylvan Lake and RCMP Red Deer detachments.

The MAC-11 was equipped with a silencer and found with two extended clip magazines.

The firearm, which was loaded at the time it was found by police, was seized from the home

of Justin Sandquist, 26, in the Vanier Woods neighbourhood in Red Deer. At the time of his arrest, Sandquist was on bail for an Edmonton homicide investigation.

Investigators allege that Sandquist and five other people arrested were involved in drug trafficking in the Sylvan Lake and Red Deer areas. During the investigation 68 grams of cocaine was seized, along with various pills, buffing agents, and other drug trafficking paraphernalia.

Six people were charged in the investigation, including Robyn Lehner, 32, Darcey Perry, 24, Kyle Schellenberger, 27, Kayla Simms, 20, Walter Cameron, 45, and Sandquist. They are facing a total of 38 charges related to drugs and firearms offences.

The seven firearms that were seized, included a MAC-11 sub-

Man charged with murder in court Erin Fawcett Express staff

A man charged with second degree murder has made his first court appearance.

Red Deer RCMP and the RCMP’s Southern Alberta Major Crimes Unit (MCU), have charged 26-year-old Jordan Koizumi of Red Deer with one count of second degree murder in the death of 50-year-old TinaMarie Pfeiffer, also of Red Deer.

At 3:56 a.m. on Oct. 27th, members of the Red Deer RCMP Detachment were dispatched to a residence in the area of West Park Crescent where they discovered a deceased woman inside

a residence.

It was while police were at the scene that they received a report of a man who was nearby and walking down the street in his underwear. Police made a patrol to the area where it was reported that the man was seen and located Koizumi, who was taken into custody.

On Oct. 28th, an autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Calgary determined that Pfeiffer’s death was a homicide.

Koizumi remains in custody and will return to court on Nov. 30th. efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

machine gun, two SKS rifles, two shotguns, a stolen sawed-off rifle, a loaded handgun, body armour and various rounds of ammunition.

ALERT began investigating the group’s suspected drug activities in June.

Insp. Chad Coles with ALERT said the MAC-11 machine gun seized can fire 32 bullets in less than two seconds.

“The MAC-11 was equipped with a silencer and found with two extended clip magazines. This is a prohibited firearm in Canada and in the wrong hands it presents a

major public safety concern,” he said, adding the increase in drug trafficking is an alarming trend across the province. “The firearm is fully automatic, meaning that with one pull of the trigger it is continuous fire. The person pulling the trigger would have little to no control of where those bullets are flying.

“I could only speculate how this could have or would have been used. Guns are used in the drug trade to enforce debts, settle disputes over territories, intimidate rivals and to kill.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Remembering the Battle of the Somme This fall marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of The Somme. This bloodbath claimed more than one million men in the British and Allied forces over a period of roughly 20 weeks.

The front lines moved less than 5 kms.

Consequently, the Somme has become an iconic symbol of the incomprehensible horrors, bloodshed and general futility of much of the First World War. The Western Front had been bogged down in an enormous bloody stalemate since the late fall of 1914.

However, the Allied High Command was convinced that one truly massive assault would crack the tough defensive positions and start the long hoped-for victory in the War. On July 1st, 1916, the British ‘Big Push’ commenced. The first day was a colossal disaster. The British forces suffered 57,470 casualties, including 19,240 dead.

The Royal Newfoundland Regiment was essentially wiped out. Of the 800 men who went into battle, a mere 68 were able to answer roll call the next morning.

Despite the phenomenal disaster, the British generals did not reconsider their plans. They would not admit that they had been wrong on such a massive scale. Hence, wave after wave of assaults were carried out for several more weeks, with little or no success.

Nevertheless, with wartime propaganda, the scope of the tragedy was not initially apparent back home. Reports were written in such a way that it appeared the British and Allied forces were gallantly succeeding and that the German defenses would soon crumble.

By the end of the summer of 1916, the British

and Allied forces were showing serious signs of battle exhaustion. Tragically, instead of calling off the offensive, new troops, including the Canadian Corps, were put into the front lines.

At first, the Canadian newspapers were full of stories about the Canadians heroically joining the ‘big fight’.

One Red Deer newspaper’s headline proclaimed that ‘Canada’s Boys Plunged Deep Into Hun Lines.’

The first reports suggested that casualties had been light or, “No more than would be expected.” The arrival shortly afterwards of the daily casualty reports, with their long lists of the killed and wounded, quickly put the lie to the claim.

Several local men were reported as missing in action. What wasn’t mentioned was that many of them had been directly hit by shellfire and there was really nothing left of them to find.

By the end of October, the letters home began to arrive from the men still on the front lines, or now in a hospital, recovering from wounds.

Despite the heavy censorship, the stories of what was actually happening began to emerge.

Theodore Wright wrote from hospital, “I suppose you will know that my poor old battalion was wiped out almost.”

Another man revealed that many from local B Company of the 89 Battalion had not gone into the front lines. They had been badly decimated while standing in reserve and being hit by intense shell-fire.

Frank Dorrance, a former student at the Red Deer High School who later won the Military Medal for bravery in battle, wrote, “I have seen men hit 50 yards away from a bursting shell.” He added that the bursting shells, “Made us deaf for

Michael Dawe

15 or 20 minutes.”

Other men talked about the incredible mud and dealing with inch-thick ice in the trenches in the morning. Some mentioned comrades being buried alive during the shellfire and suffering from severe shell shock (PTSD) when they were dug out of their near-graves.

Dorrance was particularly moving in his letters.

He wrote, “I have been in a place they call Death Valley for the last five days. I might go on to say that it certainly deserves the name.”

He quoted one comrade, suffering from shell shock, who simply said, “I have had enough.”

He concluded by writing, “This is not war here. The word ‘war’ is a word that comes from civilization. But there is no civilization here. It is hell turned inside out.”

HONOURING - Berni Smithman took some time out of a shopping trip at Bower Place to purchase a poppy from volunteers with the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign.

Convicted murderer Mark Lindsay sentenced Erin Fawcett Express staff

Convicted murderer Mark Lindsay was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 16 years in Red Deer’s Court of Queen’s Bench on Thursday.

Lindsay, 29, was found guilty of second degree murder in May. He was charged in 2011 after the body of his then girlfriend, Dana Turner, 31, was found in a ditch near Innisfail.

Lindsay, who is the adopted son of a former Edmonton police chief, has admitted to murdering Turner by stabbing her in the eyes with a pencil, strangling her and running over her with a vehicle.

Lindsay’s lawyers had argued over the course of his trial, held earlier this year, that Lindsay was not criminally responsible

for Turner’s death and that he was suffering from schizophrenia at the time of the murder.

A second degree murder conviction carries an automatic life sentence with parole eligibility to be decided.

Both the crown and defense presented a joint submission of 16 years in prison before Lindsay would be eligible for parole.

Justice Eldon Simpson handed down his sentence on Thursday afternoon. “Your claims of not being criminally responsible were not made out. Obviously from your youth you have dealt with mental health issues. I suggest you deal with whatever problems that have brought you here today.”

Afterwards, Wendy Yurko, Turner’s mother said no amount

of justice will bring her daughter back.

“There is nothing that can begin to provide closure for my family. It just means we are getting older without Dana,” she said.

Yurko added she now wants to make a difference.

“I want to write a book about my daughter so that her sons don’t forget how beautiful their mama was,” she said. “And then I want to work to change our system because I’ve said all

along how awful I think the system is and if I don’t do anything then I am just as guilty as they are. When I gather my breath and have a little bit of time to relax, I want to work at changing the system. I don’t know how yet, but I do know the right opportunity will come and I will be there.”

Meanwhile, during the trial defense lawyer Kent Teskey said Lindsay was mentally ill at the time of the offense.

“Mr. Lindsay was profound-

ly ill in 2011 when the index offense took place,” he said, adding that records show that Lindsay has suffered from mental illness since 2005. “Mr. Lindsay has a disease of the mind which is schizophrenia and that was not contradicted (throughout the trial). Dana Turner died a horrific, violent and tragic death,” said Teskey.

He added the question is what was the mental state of Lindsay during that time?

He said even though Lindsay

has admitted to substance abuse, Lindsay would not continue to show any signs of psychosis if it was substance induced like the crown had alleged during the trial.

Meanwhile, Crown Prosecutor Bina Border said there was unreliability in the evidence presented during the trial.

“He was not in a psychotic state at the time of the offenses.

Mr. Lindsay knew his acts were morally wrong.” efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Dated at Red Deer County, Alberta, November 2, 2016.

“We have a huge economic challenge because a lot of our revenue comes from growth from the off-site levies that the developers pay when they develop and that funds a fair proportion to the infrastructure to serve those areas,” said City Manager Craig Curtis. “With the slowdown in growth we have less revenue and a number of pieces of infrastructure planned for 2017 and beyond have been pulled out a number of years. A lot of projects have been postponed, hence our capital budget is $106 million as opposed to the $133 million that was considered last year.”

Some of those projects include road projects on the east and northeast side of the City and related servicing for those areas.

“Our focus is, and always will be providing quality services and facilities for Red Deerians,” said Curtis. “This capital budget will allow us to focus on items previously approved, and maintain the great amenities, community and infrastructure we have in place.”

Mayor Tara Veer added this budget presents some challenges.

“From what I have seen to date, I think this budget focuses on moving the community forward while adjusting to the economic reality that we are navigating through. I think there is an expectation on council and the community’s part that we move forward on looking after our key infrastructure, move forward in terms of preparing for future growth and also building quality of life in Red Deer, but we need to do that in a way that is responsive to the provincial economy,” she said.

On Nov. 22nd, council will consider the recommended projects in the 2017 Capital Budget, multi-year projects with start dates in 2017. Council will also consider the 2018-2026 Capital Plan, giving administration the ability to plan future projects while providing the flexibility to adjust projects based on community needs and funding sources.

“We are always balancing the City’s need for enabling growth, building community amenities and maintaining infrastructure,” said Dean Krejci, chief financial officer. “This budget and plan maintains the longer term sustainability of our funding sources with the current economic environment and growth rate of our City.”

RDE

High Valley features tunes from new CD on Nov. 10th Mark Weber Express staff

Country duo High Valley performs in Red Deer just days before the release of their major label CD debut - Dear Life.

The brothers (Curtis and Brad Rempel) play the Memorial Centre on Nov. 10th.

The highly anticipated project features the Top-15 Canadian country radio hit Every Week’s Got A Friday - they also performed the track at the recent Canadian Country Music Association Awards where they accepted the award for Group or Duo of the Year for the second consecutive year.

“There’s some stuff on it that is more pop, and there is some stuff that is more bluegrass,” explains Brad during a recent chat. He and his brother originally hail from the tiny community of La Crete in northern Alberta.

“But it’s all centered around that ‘old school country sound meets with brand new production’.”

The disc was produced by Seth Mosely - the ideal fellow to craft the tunes to a kind of polished perfection without losing that distinctive raw edge.

“The first time I met Seth, he was in a pop/rock band and he was about 25 years old. We became friends, and when (High Valley) was completely independent, he said, ‘I’m producing some country stuff ’, and we needed someone on the County Line record. So we recorded everything in his house!”

Meanwhile, High Valley is catching the attention of the critics in the U.S. too, already having been named ‘Artist To Watch’ by Taste of Country, CMT, Spotify and garnering the ‘Country Song of the Summer’ title by Billboard.

Currently based in Nashville, the guys grew up on a 1,400-acre farm with music, farming and family as the basis of their entertainment. Indeed - the Rempel’s musical language was formed at a very young age.

When they started out, the guys booked gigs anywhere they could, playing cover songs to audiences of about 100 to 200 people.

As to the current swing up to their native land, “It feels like we are coming home,” says Brad of the short tour which also touches down in Calgary and Edmonton. “Where we are from is so far north in Alberta, we just con-

SIBLING HARMONY - High Valley brings tunes from their newest CD Dear Life to the Memorial Centre on Nov. 10th. sider all of Alberta home,” he added with a laugh. “Anytime we get up there, it’s all good. It feels like a homecoming anytime we get anywhere in the province.”

The guys also grew up in a musical home, so following a path in the industry seemed the natural course to take.

There was always lots of singing in the family, at church and at any number of community events over the years. But it was back in 2007 that the guys decided to pursue it professionally.

Brad quit his day job, Curtis packed up his high school materials to take on the road and they pretty much never looked back. Their debut Broken Borders was named Album of the Year at the 2007 GMA Canada Covenant Awards, while the song Back to You was awarded Country Song of the Year.

They met with almost instant success.

Their second album, High Valley,

was released in Canada and the United States in 2010.

In 2011 the band won five GMA Canada Covenant Awards, including Artist of the Year and Group of the Year.

“It’s not that we weren’t allowed to have a radio,” explains Brad of their early days. “We had radios, but you turned them on and heard a lot of static from an AM station 300 miles away.

“When it was cold enough you could hear the farm report, the price of grain and the occasional old school country song. We finally got FM in our town when I was in 10th grade,” he said.

“That’s why the record was called Dear Life,” he added. “Because that song for me was like trying to write a journal entry to my life and say, ‘I really have loved every mile of this road.’

Looking forward, they are hitting the road with Martina McBride this fall, and they’ve already wrapped a

trek overseas and are gearing up for another set of dates across the pond as well.

It can seem like a bit of a whirlwind, but the guys are careful to take it all in stride. And there is that undeniable sense of gratitude there as well. Tunes on the new disc like I Ain’t Changin’ mirror those sensibilities.

“That was a very important song for me because of our upbringing,” said Brad. “The chorus is like, ‘I ain’t changing the way I talk, I ain’t changing the way I pray, I ain’t changing my last name.’

“I remember coming to Nashville six years ago and thinking about 100 different things that would blow my mind - and they’re all happening. I don’t want to wake up one day and say, ‘Wow, I’m completely different than what I was’.”

As to the new project’s title, he recalls his wife telling him one day about

photo submitted

how their kids were getting older so fast, and about how they were kind of, ‘Hanging on for dear life’.

“I kind of paused and thought that Dear Life could be a song title.” The tune was later penned at the beach during a family vacation.

“We wanted to write the song not just about hanging on for dear life, which is very true right now, but also as a letter to life. ‘Dear life, here is what I’m worried about right now, here’s what I’m thinking about, here’s what I’m thankful for’.

“If you listen to the whole project, there is a lot of nostalgia there. A lot of hopefulness, a lot of dreaming. A lot of thinking - and that’s why we wanted to call it Dear Life. We feel like the whole thing is kind of a big diary - a kind of journal entry.”

RDE CAT’s first season offering fueled by sharp performances entertainment

Mark Weber Express staff

There are plenty of laughs bubbling up throughout Central Alberta Theatre’s dinner theatre season opener The Fox on the Fairway, currently onstage at the Black Knight Inn. First off, it’s great to see the troupe back at the BKI - a setting that seems ideally suited to CAT’s dinner theatre line-up.

As to the play, it’s a terrific one to kick off the season - light-hearted, engaging, witty and fast-paced all the more strengthened by an outstanding cast and very solid, creative direction.

Penned by Ken Ludwig and directed by Alex Taylor, the show runs through to Nov. 12th with dinner starting at 6 p.m.

The cast includes Tara Rorke, Sarah Spicer, Jason Lee, Connor Lee, Craig Scott and Rina Pelletier.

As the synopsis points out, The Fox on the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp, which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. “Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man’s eternal love affair, with golf.

No matter whether you love golf or not, The Fox on the Fairway will tickle your funny bones.”

There is no question of that - and yes, it was reminiscent of those bright and brisk comic performances from the past.

Henry Bingham (Scott) is president of the Quail Valley Country Club, and he is in a tough position.

First off, he learned that his newly hired man Justin (Connor) is in love with waitress Louise (Spicer), and that the golfer he had lined up for the major tournament against his rival club has switched sides, having been recruited by Dickie Bell (Jason).

Top it off by Bingham having locked himself into potentially a very costly bet that looks now like a lost cause.

But Justin turns out to be a remarkable golfer - as long as he’s in a good space emotionally.

Unfortunately, that’s about to change with news of a lost engagement ring.

What to do? Bingham is scrambling to find a replacement - but that’s just one part of the story. There’s plenty of mayhem that delightfully unfolds along the way as the play winds itself to its conclusion.

Really, it’s a clever, compelling blend of crisp, dry humour that’s also charged with a nice, energetic clip.

Scott is tremendous as the blustery, rather intimidating but sharply witty Bingham - he’s just got that natural charismatic stage presence that never disappoints. He’s the ideal actor for the part - Scott understands the intrinsic importance of timing in comedy, particularly one like that where the pace doesn’t let up for a second.

Rorke is also exceptional as Pamela Peabody - who also works at the club, has quite the colourful past and is just a real character all the way through. Rorke meets the demands of the role to a ‘T’ - she is perfectly comfortable with this style of play and, with some of the best zingers penned in the script, delivers them all with just the right level of gusto.

Make your move to The Redwoods today and save!

Connor is also very strong as Justin - wallowing in insecurity at first, but finding his way not only in terms of his skills but also in terms of how he relates to others - and as Louise, Spicer is also superb. At first, her role doesn’t seem to require much. But as the plot unfolds, we see Louise burst forth like a pent-up river. Here’s a character with a whole lot more fire than one may have first thought. Spicer is just great as it rolls along, offering lots of laughs with an energetic, finely executed delivery.

Rounding out the cast are the aformentioned Dickie, for which Jason turns in an excellent performance. It must be fun to play the slimy guy, and Jason Lee is clearly having a lot of fun tackling the role. But Dickie isn’t just simply a sneaky guy - Jason rounds out the character well, adding a depth that takes the role that much further.

And as Muriel Bingham, Pelletier is flat-out terrific. She doesn’t hold back one bit - and that fuels her portrayal beautifully. Muriel is just plain fed up with her husband, and while her antics and behaviour are hilarious to watch, there is a power behind her delivery. Kudos on a job very well done.

Credit must also go to Taylor. She not only has selected a great cast, but she has clearly guided them along as their roles took shape and brought the best out of each. It has come together as one well-crafted package of clever humour brought to us by a cast that isn’t in the least afraid to let go and just have fun with it. Which of course makes it a lot of fun for us.

Sam Weber brings artistic excellence to Bo’s Mark Weber Express staff

Still riding high from the response to his latest disc Valentina Nevada, Victoria-based alt/folk/ rock artist Sam Weber heads to Bo’s on Nov. 6th.

Weber recently released a new music video for his track Charlotte from the project, which was released this past spring.

The video for the cut, about about a girl in a band on the road too long, features Victoria-based all-girl band Fox Glove, who were recently on the road with Weber and his band just long enough to make a video about, “Said girl in a band, while portraying the writer/ performers of said song.”

Weber isn’t wary of kicking back and having fun with videos - the one for another single from Valentina Nevada featured Hal and Joanne - better known as that upbeat, ubiquitous couple in those Body Break ‘Get fit and have fun’ spots that have been on TV for years. They showed off some pretty impressive acting chops in the video for Anybodys’.

As for the ongoing journey of introducing Valentina Nevada to the masses, Weber used the vintage Laurel Canyon sounds

INDIVIDUALITY - Singer Sam Weber and his band perform at Bo’s on Nov. 6th. photo submitted of Jackson Browne, the Eagles, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell as his foundation.

It’s been a shift that some fans have taken a bit of time to adjust to, but they’ve come around to the compelling, insightful results - no question. But it’s a style that’s also attracting new folks as well.

“I think that now that people have sat with it more - people have genuinely come up to me saying, ‘I’ve been listening more to it, and I get it now,” he explains during a recent chat.

“So it’s had a longer incubating period for people which is good.

A lot of records that I really like -

Move into the Redwoods this Fall and enjoy an active lifestyle with new friends, great food and more time for family and fun.

that’s typically been the case. I’ve had to sit with them for awhile, and then they really sink in,” he added. “I feel like this music and the aesthetic of the recording, the production style and the writing style - really everything about how it was recorded — appeals to an entirely different listener, too.”

He and his band indeed guide the listener on the journey that they have been on for the past two years. Also, Weber describes the approach to the album as more minimalistic in terms of how it was put together. mark.weber@reddeerexpress.com

RDE Patrick Krief to showcase Automanic during city show entertainment

Mark Weber Express staff

There is little music out there that reaches more deeply on a personal level than that of Montreal singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Krief.

His new project, Automanic, has been described as ‘epic’ and it’s a fitting word to use. Local fans will hear the stellar collection of tunes when Krief plays Bo’s on Nov. 3rd.

▾ “WHEN I FEEL GOOD, I WANT TO SIT AT A PIANO OR A GUITAR AND THE MUSIC WILL JUST FLOW OUT OF ME. BUT LYRICALLY, IT’S ALWAYS A GREAT JOURNAL TO TAP INTO THE DARKNESS AND USE IT AS A FORM OF CATHARSIS.”

Patrick Krief ▴

The project is actually made up of two distinct parts - as pointed out in a release, Automanic Red and Automanic Blue are two autonomous records, “Bound by bad times - the project was inspired by the heartbreak, grief, despair and fear that followed a devastating string of deaths in Krief ’s life.

“I feel inspired by love and happiness and all of those things,” he elaborated during a recent chat. “When I feel good, I want to sit at a piano or a guitar and the

music will just flow out of me.

“But lyrically, it’s always a great journal to tap into the darkness and use it as a form of catharsis,” he added. “But what those dark times bring for me personally, and I think a lot of other artists, is that your life sucks in those moments so you really need to get away from that - and music is a great way to do it.

“I compare it to working in the winter. When you have a job in the winter, you probably perform better because you aren’t looking out the window going, ‘I’d love to be out there right now’!

Recorded between Montreal and Kelowna, B.C., Krief played nearly all the instruments on Automanic alongside longtime collaborator Roberto Piccioni.

The two records, according to Krief, are, “Autonomous in their flow and not meant to be listened to in one sitting.” And yet, he continues, “Releasing one without the other simply wouldn’t make any sense — the plot truly exists within the invisible line that bonds them.”

Krief recalled an early introduction to music via primarily his grandmother.

“I was there two or three days a week, and she was a piano player and a music teacher,” he recalls. “And her son, my uncle, was a flutist, piano player, guitar player and a fantastic singer. So this whole music thing was all around me.

“Also, everyone in my family that was into music also played several instruments. I never thought about it as the kind of thing where you had to choose

one, and that’s going to be it.

Even though I was completely drawn to the guitar, I still had this idea that I could learn all of these instruments.”

He also developed his skills on a range of instruments as a means of accompanying himself when he would record a piece of music. “I also got really, really interested in the drums and the bass - I had a bass pretty much from day one.

“For me, music was going to be a vehicle for creation. That was part of the appeal for learning music.

“For years, before I even had my own guitar, I also envisioned a career in music. Before I even started playing, I just thought how much I wanted to be onstage in front of people.”

Over the years, he did decide to go to university after high school, but he just wan’t happy on that particular path.

“I did start getting a little dose of how hard it might be to attain

a career (in music),” he explained.

“I thought that I had better go back to school and get a solid back up plan.

“But I couldn’t focus on school - I was always thinking about music. I just thought what am I doing here? I hate this.”

Meanwhile, the opening sounds of Automanic Red are immediately alluring thanks to the stunning All is Lost.

Darkometro continues the powerful run, with it’s comparably lighter, pop-styled touch.

Red Deerians encouraged to shine purple lights Erin Fawcett Express staff

As November marks Family Violence Prevention Month, two local organizations are banning together to bring awareness to the cause.

The first Purple Light Nights campaign will run through to the end of the month. The project is a joint effort between Soroptimist International of Central Alberta and the Domestic & Relationship Violence Initiative Committee.

The two organizations are asking Central Albertans to purchase a purple

light bulb and let the light shine on their porches, at their businesses or offices, or in trees and shrubs in their yards, to remember those who have lost their lives to domestic violence, support survivors and bring hope to those still abused.

“It is nice to show support and it is something that is easy to do,” said Sherri Smith, a member of Soroptimist International of Central Alberta.

The initiative was started by a woman in Washington who encouraged people to shine a purple light to bring awareness to family violence issues.

According to the Alberta Government web site, “Family Violence Prevention Month started in 1986 as a local initiative in the town of Hinton, Alberta where concerned residents launched a family violence education and prevention campaign.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Family Violence Prevention Month.”

According to Statistics Canada, “In 2014, 26% of all victims of police-reported violent crime were victimized by a spouse, a parent, a child, a sibling, or another immediate or extended family member.

“This represents more than 85,000 victims of family violence.” As well, “Most victims of police-reported family violence were victims of physical assault (73%). Among these victims, four out of five were victims of common assault (80%). Combined, uttering threats (11%) and sexual offences (8%) were experienced by nearly one in five victims of police-reported family violence in 2014.

“In 2014, sexual offences (10%) and criminal harassment (5%) were more than twice as common among female victims of police-reported family vi-

olence as male victims (4% and 2%, respectively). Major physical assault was more common among male victims of police-reported family violence than female victims.”

Meanwhile, as for the Purple Light Nights initiative, light bulbs are available for purchase at a number of places around the City and are $2 for a 60W bulb, or $3 for a 75W bulb.

RDE

The miracle molecule of NO My initial reaction to this news was, ‘It’s too good to be true’.

Dr. Gifford

JONES

But three researchers received the prestigious Nobel Prize for its discovery. Louise J. Ignarro, one of the prize winners, says, “There may be no disease process where this miracle molecule does not have a protective role.”

So what is this miracle molecule?

And how does it protect us from so many diseases? To find out, I interviewed Dr. Nathan S. Bryan at the University of Texas, a world authority on this minute particle.

Bryan says that for 100 years researchers have known that nitroglycerine eased coronary pain by increasing blood supply to the heart’s muscle.

But it was a mystery why arteries expanded to allow this flow. Now we know it is due to a molecule, nitric oxide (NO), which when produced, sends messages to coronary arteries and to every cell in the body in nanoseconds.

Early in life we produce large amounts of NO in the endothelial lining (the innermost lining) of

blood vessels. This keeps arteries expanded to permit a good supply of oxygenated blood to organs.

But after age 40, nitric oxide decreases, arteries constrict, causing hypertension and increased pressure injures the inner wall of coronary arteries.

This damage results in a chemical and inflammatory reaction that kills one North American every 37 seconds, making heart attack the nation’s number one killer.

Bryan adds this interesting fact. “Nitric oxide first attained star status when treating erectile dysfunction. ED is cured by drugs that produce NO, sending increased amounts of blood to the male organ.”

But bringing more oxygenated blood to cells fights other common problems as well.

Bryan claims decreased amounts of NO may play a major role in the development of Type 2 diabetes. Low levels of NO result in insulin resistance, making it difficult for insulin to enter cells to maintain normal blood sugar level.

High blood sugar triggers heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, amputation of legs.

Italian researchers discovered that diabetes patients with kidney disease had nitric oxide levels 37% lower than healthy people.

Millions of North Americans also suffer from arthritis, a debilitating condition.

Researchers at the University of Colorado say that NO increases blood supply to nerves and eases joint inflammation which can result in dramatic relief to patients with osteoarthritis.

More researchers at the University of Calgary report that nitric oxide levels are significantly lower in patients suffering from depression.

So if you’re feeling glum, tired, falling asleep in the afternoon, or concerned about high blood

cholesterol, low NO may be a factor.

If you’re planning a trip to Mexico City or Aspen, Colorado, both 7,000 feet high, you should consider improving your NO levels. This could prevent respiratory problems by improving lung function.

Tibetans living at high altitudes have 10 times the amount of NO in their blood than those living at sea level!

Dark leafy greens such as spinach contain nitrate that turns into nitrite producing NO. Apple juice, tea, dark chocolate, red wine and a brisk walk also produce NO. A natural product called Neo40 that produces nitric acid is now available in health food stores.

Dr. Bryan suggests one tablet every 12 hours for two weeks until the level of NO increases, then one tablet a day. Tablets are dissolved slowly in the mouth.

Dr. Bryan reports that some people take L-arginine to produce NO. But Neo40, is more effective in boosting NO because it contains L-citrulline, Vitamin C, beet root and hawthorne.

I’ve added Neo40 to my daily routine of taking large doses of Vitamin C which I’m convinced has kept me alive for 19 years after a heart attack.

I believe the addition of Neo40 is an added benefit.

Besides, as you get older endothelial cells, like other cells, age and lose some ability to respond to either natural or prescription drugs.

Sir William Osler Professor at McGiIl, Johns Hopkins and Oxford Universities said that we are only as healthy as our arteries. He could have added, “As long as they have sufficient nitric oxide.”

BIG MOVE - From left, Grayson Pawlenchuk of the Rebels passed the puck across the crease of Brandon Wheat Kings goalie Logan Thompson to teammate Akash Bains during a game last week. The Rebels’ six game winning streak was brought to a halt with a 5-2 loss to the Medicine Hat Tigers last Friday night..

Red Deer Rebels see a pair of weekend losses Zachary Cormier Express staff

In what can only be described as a screeching halt to an impressive stretch for the boys in black, white and red; the Rebels’ six game winning streak came to a disappointing end last weekend after back-toback losses to the Lethbridge Hurricanes and the Medicine Hat Tigers.

“It wasn’t a good weekend for us. We didn’t play well. We got what we deserved and that’s reality.

You can’t play that way and think you’re going to have success,” said Rebels’ Head Coach and General Manager Brent Sutter of his team’s performance last weekend, which saw them drop a 5-2 decision to the Medicine Hat Tigers at home on Friday night before being pounded 6-1 by the Lethbridge Hurricanes on the road the following night.

The losses served as a particularly jarring wake up call for the Rebels, who before the game against Medicine Hat were playing some excellent hockey against some pretty good hockey teams.

“It’s unfortunate because we came off of playing some pretty good hockey. But when things are going well if you don’t stay with it and stay on it and continue to stay focused and play the game the proper way, it’s going to nail you in the butt at some point,” Sutter said.

For the Rebels, that point came in the final game of a stretch where they played eight of nine games on home ice, where they have been particularly good as late.

In fact, as of Monday, the Rebs held a 6-2-1-0 record when playing at the ENMAX Centrium.

“It’s something we’ve been addressing with the coaching staff for the last little bit as far as making sure we keep our level up where it needs to be and making sure we play the game the right way. Again, it happens like that and when you don’t do it, eventually catches up to you and it caught up to us this weekend,” Sutter said, adding that the fact both the Tigers and the Hurricanes are the Rebels’ Central Division rivals didn’t help ease the sting.

“That’s why I was kind of disappointed about the weekend was the fact that they were both divisional games. We had moments against Medicine Hat at home, we weren’t consistent in the game at all and Lethbridge we didn’t even play close to the way we’ve been playing; how we need to play.”

Sutter said while he gives a lot of credit to the Hurricanes for playing his team hard, the Rebels’ performance in their first road game in two weeks left much to be desired.

“You have 11 goals scored against you and you only score three, that says enough.”

Now the team has to prepare to play nine of their next 10 games on the road (10 in their last 11 if you include Saturday’s tilt with Lethbridge), something that they haven’t done a whole lot of yet this season.

“We have to win games on the road. It doesn’t matter where the games are played, you’ve got to play a certain way, you’ve got to play at a certain level and the way that our team is moulded this season we certainly need everybody to bring that to the table

for us,” Sutter said.

And this stretch of games is going to be especially important for a young Rebels squad that is aiming to live up to the high bar set by last year’s team, which competed in the Memorial Cup tournament.

There is, however, a couple of bright sides for this year’s incarnation of the Red Deer Rebels. For one, their five on five play has been excellent and, while they have struggled to maintain a consistent pace on the power play and penalty kill, those are skills that come with time.

“We are using a lot of guys that haven’t done either one before — haven’t been on the power play, haven’t been on the penalty kill before, this is the first time.

So we’re going through a learning curve with that,” Sutter said.

Only time will tell whether the Rebels can adapt and learn how to consistently play well on the PP and PK, but until then they’ll just have to buckle down and get some wins on this long upcoming road swing. zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Red Deer Classic set to hit the ice later this month Zachary Cormier Express staff

Some of the best curlers in the world will be descending on Red Deer as the 2016 Red Deer Classic World Curling Tour event gets set to kick off at the Red Deer Curling Club later this month.

“We’ve got 32 men’s teams and 22 women’s teams from across the globe,” said Red Deer Classic Organizing Committee director Dustin Eckstrand.

The event, which runs from Nov. 18th - 25th, will feature some of the biggest names in curling including several former Canadian and world champions.

“It’s the biggest curling event for Red Deer most years, aside from years when we host either a Brier or a Scotties, it’s about as big as it gets for us,” Eckstrand said, adding he wanted to thank the event’s sponsors for their contributions this year.

This year’s field of competitors includes a number of recognizable names on both the men’s and women’s sides, including three-time Brier champion and defending 2016 world champion Kevin Koe’s team, two-time world champion David Murdoch’s team of Scotland and defending Red Deer Classic champion Mick Lizmore’s rink on the men’s side.

On the women’s side, spectators will be able to see defending Scotties champion Chelsey Carey’s rink in action, a team which includes Red Deer product Jocelyn Peterman at second.

They’ll be in tough though, as the women’s field includes a large roster of top-notch competitors.

Defending Red Deer Classic champion Kelsey Rocque’s team makes their return to the Pidherney Centre ice while 2006 Olympic bronze medalist Shannon Kleibrink’s rink will also make an appearance.

“A lot of high-end — a lot of teams from the Slams that people watch on Sportsnet. You’re going to see a lot of those teams there for sure,” Eckstrand said, adding there will also be the chance to see local talent test their skills against some of the best curlers in the world.

“You get to see a combination of high-end curling and you also get to see local teams compete too,” he said, noting that when he says local, he’s referring more to Alberta teams.

“You do see upsets. You see Alberta teams that will be in the provincials this year compete with teams that you would see on the world stage, which is kind of neat. And the other nice thing is it’s right on your back door. You get to watch them play on your own club ice, which I think is kind of a neat experience for people.”

Eckstrand also noted one of the cool things about seeing some of these stars live, especially

for people who curl themselves, is the ability to see how those curlers approach the game.

▾ “IT’S THE BIGGEST CURLING EVENT FOR RED DEER MOST YEARS, ASIDE FROM YEARS WHEN WE HOST EITHER A BRIER OR A SCOTTIES, IT’S ABOUT AS BIG AS IT GETS FOR US.”

Dustin Eckstrand ▴

In addition, some of the proceeds from the event go to support junior curling.

“It’s a great way to support local curling and come out and see some high level curling talent.” zcormier@reddeerexpress.com

Cougars, Lightning set for high school football rematch Zachary Cormier Express staff

It’s that time of year again.

After a competitive season of high-impact football action, the Central Alberta High School football final is set to kick of this weekend with the Notre Dame High School Cougars and the Hunting Hills High School Lightning set to clash in a rematch of last year’s final.

Although both teams have already guaranteed trips to their respective provincial matchups, what is shaping up to be a show stopper of a game will see the Cougars (7-1) attempt to get revenge on the Lightning (7-2) after dropping last season’s league final to that same team.

This year, though, things are a little different as it will be Notre Dame, not Hunting, that heads into the matchup as the heavy

favourites to claim the title.

While the Lightning are still a strong football team when compared to the rest of the fourteam high school league, they aren’t quite the powerhouse they were last year.

The first time that the two teams squared off this season, the Cougars devastated the defending champs 50-0, making use of their dynamite run game to seemingly establish themselves as the team to beat in the Central Alberta High School Football League this season.

That trend continued throughout most of the year as the ‘Dame boys piled up victory after victory, relying on Grade 11 starting quarterback Devin Desormeau to move the ball effectively through the air while their running back tandem of Johannes Smith, Payton LaGrange and Justin Fedun

decimated opponents’ defensive lines on the ground.

But Hunting would not be outdone.

That first loss to Notre Dame (barring a closer one to Foothills the following week) was the only game they would drop for the rest of the season.

Starting QB Brandon Rees has been solid under centre for the boys in blue while an offensive core of Eric Thomson, Jordan Lenius and Sympho Nkuela has allowed them to remain an extremely competitive team.

In fact, when the two teams met up for the second and final time of the season last month, it was the Lightning and not the Cougars that came out on top, handing the Cougars their one and only loss this year.

The Central Alberta High School Football League Final will kick off this Friday night

at MEGlobal Athletic Park in Lacombe. Kickoff on that

one is at 7:30 p.m. following the Central Football League’s

Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express

Ensuring your home has an up-to-date feel We spend time and money keeping current and while I don’t believe that we need to be on the cutting edge ALL the time, there is a fine line between being thrifty and just being out of date.

When it comes to the renovation process or when you are ready to sell your home, it is important to be current so that you can spend your money wisely and make your home the best it can be.

What dates your home? Here are a few basic things to be observant in your home.

COLOUR: Everything can be date stamped according to colour. The most recognizable trends are colour related and this is very true in home design.

Exterior and interior alike, the colours your home are sporting will show its age and appeal or repel people. Even though others can come in and change things to their own liking, it can

be a harder sell if you are sporting a garish yellow exterior or mauve carpet and paint indoors.

Colour trends try to repeat over the years but there will always be a new twist or a new undertone on a colour. Check local interior stores to see what colours are being featured in paint, textiles and wood and try to incorporate them into your home.

SHAPE/SIZE: This is something that doesn’t always occur to people.

Shape of tile, width of hardwood, size of blind slats – these items date the home and may need to be looked at for an update or a sale.

For example, 6x6 and 6x8 tile (especially ones with borders on them) are very 1992 and usually a sign that a home needs updating.

Narrow, 2 ½” hardwood is very dated compared

to the four inch or wider hardwood and will appeal less than the wider formats. The extremely narrow one inch hardwood is vintage width and should be kept but the other smaller formats should be considered for replacement.

PATTERN AND TEXTURE: We all have clothes in the back of our closet which are no longer in style but secretly, we really like them.

I have a knobby brown sweater I would never wear in public but covertly treasure it. This is the equivalent to the furniture most of us have stashed in our basement with the hopes that someday the kids will take it with them. Trust me, they won’t. All it’s doing is cluttering up your basement and making things look junky. Try to purge those

items and donate them to a worthy cause.

WORN AND DAMAGED: This one seems obvious but I visit many homes with damaged and seriously worn and dirty elements.

What amazes me is when people have listed a home for sale and the walls have gouges in them and the light switches are covered with dirt – there needs to be some advice given there!

If you are wanting a quick pick up but can’t afford a big renovation, start with small fixes and polishes to make the interior seem loved.

Dated doesn’t have to be resigned to, you can chose a simple and inexpensive element for your home and make individual improvements on these items one at a time. Even a small improvement will help you feel better about your home.
