The triple murder trial of a Castor-area family is underway in Red Deer after delay.

During the first day, accused Jason Klaus could be seen getting emotional at times in the prisoner’s box as court watched a 180 minute-long video as he recounted the hours leading up to the fire that took the lives of his mother, father and sister.

Klaus has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of arson in relation to the deaths of his father Gordon Klaus, 61, his mother Sandra Klaus, 62 and his sister Monica Klaus, 40, in December 2013.

Joshua Frank has also been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in relation to the deaths as well as one count of arson and one count of injuring or endangering an animal in relation to the shooting death of the family dog.

The remains of Gordon and Monica were found in what was left of a burnt-out house in Castor on Dec. 8th, 2013.

ON TRIAL - The trial for Jason Klaus and Joshua Frank, each charged with three counts of first degree murder, began in Red Deer on Monday.

Red Deer City council ready to tackle issues heard

O

fficially sworn in, the new City council is ready to hit the ground running.

The official swearing in ceremony took place Oct. 23rd at the City Hall Council Chambers, and Frieda McDougall, City clerk, gave a welcome to the many guests in attendance.

The new City council team includes Mayor Tara Veer, Buck Buchanan, Tanya Handley, Lawrence Lee, Dianne Wyntjes, Ken Johnston, Frank Wong and two new faces, Michael Dawe and Vesna Higham.

“It’s an incredible honour to be back as mayor and to commence a second mandate as mayor and to work with the new council. It was certainly a great campaign, a very respectful campaign.

I spent a lot of time hearing the issues and concerns of Red Deerians,” said Veer.

With the new council officially sworn in, she said they can hit the ground running and commence about the business of the City, and that council has already had a couple of orientation sessions.

“We’ve grouped together and identified what we heard from our community over the past couple of months. We will be beginning our strategic direction very soon. Our strategic direction sets the areas of transformation for the community and then that will build our work plan in the coming year.”

She said it was very consistent throughout the campaign that everyone who ran had a desire to improve the quality of life in Red Deer.

“The people spoke and so this is our new team. We’re very proud to be a part of Red Deer’s history in the making and serve from 2017 to 2021, and to bring the issues and concerns of Red Deerians forward and

just do what we can over the coming four years to make our Red Deer an even better place to live,” she said.

Johnston said it feels fantastic to be on council another term.

“It’s just a humbling honour to get the confidence of the community for another four years and I’m just excited to serve four more,” he said.

He said the public has shown a great sense of optimism for the City, and is looking at being a safer community, but at the same time, they’re looking at economic development, and the opportunities around the Riverlands project and the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

“I think if this council can deliver on both fronts on the safety side and the economic development side we’ll have a very, very successful four years,” said Johnston.

The first formal order of

26TH YEAR!

business coming up is the capital budget.

“Council will meet on the 30th of October to do its regular agenda, but the capital budget will follow shortly thereafter, so we’ll have a chance to be able to look at how much capital the administration is recommending we spend and where it’s being spent, and also looking at the capital See our video at

plan that we put together last year, which carries forward for the next three years,” said Johnston.

Higham said she believes the single greatest issue to deal with as new council is crime and policing.

Although Higham has served on council before, she said she was nervous for the swearing in.

“What’s interesting is that I was way more nervous for this swearing in than I was the first time and I don’t know why that is. Perhaps it was a little more hard fought being in ninth spot for the first half of the results, so I really appreciate and feel so honoured and so grateful,” said Higham.

She said she now knows what to expect and knows what the job entails, and is ready to get to work.

She said when it comes to approaching the capital budget, there are a number of pressing and competing issues to consider.

“The top of the list that I can think of is the aquatic centre. We’re going to have to make a decision,” she said, adding that she supports having a 50 metre pool and aquatic centre of some type, but doesn’t support the current iteration of the plan in its entirety.

Dawe, who has been part of the community his whole life, said being on council will be a steep learning curve for him.

He said when talking to people on his campaign, the issue that first came to his attention was the issue of crime.

“I think as almost everyone has said when you were going door to door the thing you heard over and over again are the issues of crime. Everybody has a right to want to feel safe in their community and to have their property protected,” he said.

He said council should tackle what new and innovative things they can do to deal with the issue.

Another thing he heard is making sure people feel council is accountable and remember the things they promised in the election.

“Accountability and responsibility and keeping to our word is very important to people, and I take that very seriously.”

Trial set to run through to Nov. 24th continued from page 1 The body of Sandra has never been found and during a press conference in Calgary in 2014, RCMP Insp. Tony Hamori said police believe her remains were consumed by the fire.

On Monday, Crown Prosecutor Douglas Taylor entered into a voir dire to determine the voluntariness of Jason. That voir dire, which is held to determine admissibility of evidence, is expected to continue into the middle of next week. The crown indicated they will play 26 interactions between Jason and the police. One of those recordings was a three-hour long video just days after the deaths.

Sgt. Robert Kropp, of the major crimes unit south branch, could be seen interviewing Jason on Dec. 10th, 2013 in the interview room at the Coronation RCMP Detachment.

At the time of this particular interview, Kropp testified that Jason was not a suspect.

On the video, Kropp asked Jason to give details of his day on Dec. 7th, 2013 and the hours leading up to the fire. Jason said he went through his normal routine which included going to his parents, Gordon and Monica’s house, just a few minutes away, at about 7:30 a.m. to help with chores at the farm. He said he spent much of the day at the farm, only leaving for a short time to take care of a frozen water pipe at his house.

Jason said he then had dinner at his parents and his sister Monica was also there. He said they put up Christmas decorations before he left to head to a Hutterite colony nearby for baked goods and to have a couple of drinks.

Jason said he left the Hutterite colony about 10 p.m. and made plans to meet up with Frank at a Castor bar. He continued to drink and headed home around 2 a.m. Jason told Kropp on video that when he drove passed his parent’s farm, everything seemed normal.

At 7:30 a.m. the following day, on Dec. 8th, 2013, Jason got a call from the RCMP alerting him to the fire at his parents farm.

“I question if it was foul play or a furnace malfunctioning,” Jason said in the video recording, adding the home had a coal burning furnace in the basement. “There is always a chance that a hot ash could jump out onto a coat. I’m not saying that is what started the fire, but it’s the only thing I can think of.”

Jason also told Kropp that he thought maybe someone broke into the house to steal a prized deer head worth $200,000 - $300,000.

“I lose sleep over what my family went through.

They were more than good people and I don’t know why they deserve this - but it could be natural causes, I can live with that,” he said, adding they were a close knit family.

Jason also asked Kropp if the deaths were caused by foul play and there were weapons involved, if evidence could be found.

“If a gun was used could you find shell casings?” he asked.

Kropp added the investigation will be lengthy and, “It is hard to say. Fire is so destructive.”

“I hope they didn’t have a painful death,” Jason added.

The trial is expected to run through to Nov. 24th in Red Deer’s Court of Queen’s Bench.

On Tuesday evening, little ghosts and goblins will be crisscrossing Red Deer streets in the search for plenty of treats.

For many of us, we have fond memories of choosing our costumes, carefully staking out the houses that give out the best candy, and running from house to house in hopes of an overflowing candy bag at the end of the night.

There are now lots of choices for children and their families – several community events are planned as well as alternatives to usually braving the weather and hitting the streets. Either way, celebrating the ‘spooktacular’ occasion is as popular as it ever was. Halloween dates way back but the meaning has changed over the years.

According to Wikipedia, Halloween or Hallowe’en (a contraction of its original title All Hallows’ Evening) also known as All Hallows’ Eve is a yearly holiday observed around the world on Oct. 31st, the eve of the western Christian feast of All Hallows. According to some scholars, All Hallows’ Eve was originally influenced by western European harvest festivals and festivals of the dead with possible pagan roots, particularly the Celtic ‘Samhain’. Others maintain that it originated independently from ‘Samhain’ and has Christian roots.

The word Halloween was first used in the 16th

century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even (‘evening’), that is, the night before All Hallows’ Day. Today, trick or treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween.

Children go in costume from house to house asking for treats such as candy with the question, “Trick or Treat?” The word trick refers to a (mostly idle) ‘threat’ to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.

In this custom, the child performs some sort of trick. For example, sings a song or tells a ghost story or joke to earn their treats. Other typical activities include carving pumpkins, attending costume parties, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories and watching horror films.

The traditions and importance of the Halloween celebration vary significantly among countries that observe it. In Scotland and Ireland, traditional Halloween customs include children dressing up in costume, going ‘guising’, holding parties while other practices in Ireland include lighting bonfires and having firework displays.

Mass trans-Atlantic immigration in the 19th century popularized Halloween in North America and celebrations in the United States and Canada have had significant impact on how the event is observed in

other nations. This larger North American influence, particularly in iconic and commercial elements, has extended to places such as South America, Australia, New Zealand, continental Europe, Japan and other parts of east Asia.

In addition, with the daylight getting shorter, it’s also important to be mindful of safety when it comes to trick or treating. The Alberta Motor Association recently released some tips which include planning for a light-coloured costume or adding bright reflective strips to be more visible to drivers.

Glow sticks can brighten up a dark costume. Heavy masks can also affect a child’s vision – opt for face paint instead of masks and make sure peripheral vision is clear.

Always lift up your mask to cross the street. If your little ghouls are flying solo this year, walk through the route with them early in the week and have set times for them to check-in.

Front yard frights are part of the fun, but make sure your walkway and yard are clear of tripping hazards like tools, cords and debris, and have a safe, quiet (indoor) place for your pets.

Strangers and costumes may put them on edge.

Meanwhile, whatever the tradition, you can be sure that this Tuesday, there will be a parade of children on the streets in search of one thing only – candy.

Calgary ready to move mountains to land Amazon HQ The Bible told us the meek will inherit the Earth, but the timid approach isn’t going to attract Amazon’s second corporate headquarters.

The competition is intense among dozens of cities across Canada and the United States to be the location for the $5 billion U.S. development.

Calgary Economic Development quickly decided Calgary was in.

And we we’re in it, to win it.

Sorry, but this isn’t the time for Canadian humility.

Calgary offers Amazon a unique value proposition with turnkey talent and real estate options for what is referred to as HQ2. Add in the low cost of doing business here and exceptional quality of life, and there are long-term advan-

tages for Amazon to locate in Canada’s most business friendly and entrepreneurial city.

We’re also prepared to do more than other cities to make it happen. As the attention-grabbing 36metre by three-metre banner we hung in downtown Seattle the day we delivered our submission said: Hey Amazon. Not saying we’d fight a bear for you … But we totally would.

To be clear, no bears were harmed in preparing our bid. It’s a metaphor. We also stenciled sidewalk chalk messages about Calgary around Amazon’s HQ. Don’t forget that Amazon launched its high-profile competition six weeks earlier, urging cities to be creative.

Our guerrilla marketing worked.

Mary Moran

The campaign got people talking. It started when almost 19,000 fans chanted “Come on, Amazon!” at a Calgary Flames NHL game at the Scotiabank Saddledome days before the bids were due. On the day we delivered our submission, #AmazonYYC trended in Calgary and across Canada.

We were also prominent on social media in Seattle.

In addition to the business case in the 200-plus page submission, our pitch to Amazon is that Calgarians will do more than anyone else to help Amazon ensure HQ2 is a success. Our inclusive community can help build a strong workforce – a critical concern for Amazon – and our quality of life will help the company attract and retain top talent.

We would move mountains for Amazon but we don’t have to with a Rocky Mountain playground in our backyard.

We also noted Canada’s

embrace of global trade and immigration is critical for a multinational company like Amazon at a time when protectionist sentiment is growing in many counties. With almost 13 million square feet of downtown office space available, Calgary has immediate options to accommodate Amazon’s 5,000 employees the day HQ2 opens, and the 50,000 expected within a decade. Calgary has two downtown options for day one as well as three downtown sites and 10 suburban locations as options to meet Amazon’s long-term growth plans.

Our top selling point to Amazon – in fact, any company facing constraints in its current location – is the talent in Calgary. With one of the best-educated workforces in Canada and the highest concentration of engineers and geoscientists in the country, our people are our best asset.

It is important to remember HQ2 isn’t a distribution hub or technology centre but a head office. A city like Calgary, with 124 of the S&P TSX 500 based here, is a headquarters city. We have all of the finance, legal, management and administrative skill here Amazon needs.

We also have the one element critical to success: Calgarians want this. From the more than 100 CEOs who wrote letters of support, to the 1,400 people who joined an online community to brainstorm elevator pitches and other marketing ideas, it’s been a team effort.

We said from the outset that Calgary was in this to win it.

We meant it. We’re not saying we’d fight a bear … but we totally would.

ASIRT investigating after man shot by police On Oct. 19th, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) was directed to investigate the circumstances surrounding an RCMP officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of a 33-year-old man.

On that same date, at approximately 9:15 a.m., the RCMP responded to a complaint of a sleeping or passed-out driver in a vehicle parked on the side of a range road between Stettler and Red Deer. Three officers responded and located a vehicle that had been reported stolen. A lone man appeared to be sleeping or unconscious in the driver’s seat.

As two officers approached the driver’s side of the vehicle to address the man and remove him from the vehicle, a struggle ensued and the man put the stolen vehicle in reverse, striking one of the officers with the driver’s door. The reversing vehicle rammed an unoccupied RCMP vehicle parked behind it with enough force to send the cruiser into the ditch and causing it to roll. Two of the three officers fired their service weapons, causing fatal injuries to the man who, once taken to hospital, was declared deceased.

The officer who was struck and dragged was not seriously injured. The remaining two officers were uninjured.

In addition to other evidence, ASIRT investigators have located and secured recorded video of the incident.

The man’s family was notified of the incident.

The death of any person, regardless of the circumstances, impacts many and this case is no different. ASIRT extends its most sincere condolences to the family and friends of the man.

As ASIRT’s investigation continues, no further information will be publicly released until it has been concluded and those impacted by the incident and the investigation have been notified of the outcome.

A man is dead after being shot by police this morning southwest of Alix.

The RCMP encountered a situation this morning on RR 234, near Hwy. 11 southwest of the Town, which resulted in the discharge of police firearms by Bashaw RCMP officers.

At 9:15 a.m. RCMP officers located a parked stolen vehicle in the rural area. As officers approached the lone male occupant to investigate further, a confrontation occurred leading the RCMP to discharge their firearms.

The male involved in this incident was air lifted to hospital in critical condition and has since been declared deceased. The officers involved were not injured.

There is no further public safety risk. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) is investigating the police actions in accordance with their mandate to effectively, independently, and objectively investigate incidents involving Alberta’s police that have resulted in serious injury or death to any person. The RCMP remains the lead investigating agency on the events leading up to the serious incident, with ASIRT having carriage of the review of police actions.

As this matter is under investigation by ASIRT, the RCMP will not be providing further information.

Flu season might be nasty, officials say

BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com

Influenza shots are now available for those wanting to reduce the risk of influenza illness.

“The effectiveness varies according to the strain, A or B, from year to year because the influenza vaccine and strain change every year,” said Digby Horne, one of three medical officers of health in Alberta Health Services Central Zone.

He said although it’s hard to predict, this year’s flu season could be quite the nasty one.

“Indications from the southern hemisphere that has their influenza season in our off season was that it was a little bit more severe than their previous one, and that they had quite a few cases of the influenza A virus, the H3N2, and that can lead to some severe infections,” he said.

Horne said the benefit of avoiding influenza is that it can be quite a severe illness, depending on who gets it.

“Most people get cough, fever, muscle aches and don’t feel well for several days, and in others with pre-existing diseases or illness, it can make those worse and in some cases it can lead to death or hospitalization.”

He said for those immunized and protected against illness they won’t spread it to others who perhaps can’t be as well protected, as their body doesn’t respond as well to the vaccine, like for example, the elderly and people with conditions that suppress their immune system.

“There’s benefit to the people that get immunized, but also benefit to others who they may not transmit infection to,” he said.

Those who receive the influenza shot may get a mild fever, and ache in the arms or muscle

aches elsewhere, but will not get influenza from the vaccine.

In terms of last year’s numbers in the province, Horne said there were 4,494 cases of influenza confirmed by lab testing, but there may be other people who were infected that didn’t get a test.

There were 1,653 people hospitalized and 64 people who died, and at the time of their death, were infected by influenza.

Horne said those numbers weren’t necessarily those who didn’t receive the shot, as the vaccine doesn’t work as well for those over 65 as it does for younger individuals.

“There are some people that because of age or because they have suppressed immune systems, they don’t respond as well to the vaccine as someone who is young with a well functioning immune system,” he said, adding there are people who have been immunized but get infection, some who die as a result.

The flu season is predominantly in the fall and winter months and can extend into early spring.

“There have been cases that have occurred already. There are some sporadic cases that occurred throughout the summer, but generally November, December, January, February are often the influenza A component.”

Towards the end of the season, influenza B starts to peak (around March and into April).

Horne said the difference is influenza A is typically more of a severe disease and affects predominantly adults, while B is associated with outbreaks in kids.

For people wanting to find out where influenza clinics are, they can phone the health link at 8-1-1 or look on the AHS web site at www.ahs. ca/influenza for clinics closest to them.

We’ll have a kettle on and all the fixin’s for you to make yourself a cuppa tea, coffee or hot chocolate.

Shot on the Big Island of Hawaii, diptychs composed of images of abandoned vehicles are juxtaposed with pristine landscapes to attempt to address the paradoxes of beauty, capitalism and notions of paradise. Jean-René uses his work to explore the relationship between digital technology and culture as a means of exploring the concept of presentification (to make visible the invisible). First Friday Red Deer opening runs Nov. 3rd from 6 to 8 p.m. Jean-René will be in attendance. Refreshments will be served.

A look at Hallowe’en in Central Alberta Another Hallowe’en is rapidly approaching. This year, it will be next Tuesday. As Hallowe’en draws closer, many people turn their attention to ghost stories, tales of hauntings, remembrances of old tragedies and accounts of long- standing mysteries. In many parts of the world, there is a real tradition of ghost stories and tales of hauntings.

Central Alberta is a much newer part of the world than such places as Europe and Asia.

Consequently, we do not have the same rich folklore about ghosts, spirits and supernatural happenings.

That is not to say, however, that there aren’t any ghost stories to be told.

Some of the best-documented tales are also the oldest. One such story concerns the Pine Lake district. In the very early days, this was a popular hunting and camping spot for various bands of Indians. Unfortunately, the area also became the site of bloody intertribal warfare, particularly between the Blackfoot Confederacy and the Cree First Nation.

One autumn, approximately 150 years ago, a band of Crees camped alongside Pine Lake was attacked and massacred by a raiding party of Blackfoot. All the Crees were killed except for a young brave who had been away hunting when the massacre took place. Once he discovered what had happened, he swore revenge and began trailing the Blackfoot war party. He managed to inflict a number of casualties in a series of clever ambushes and surprise attacks.

Perhaps because of the young man’s success at retribution or perhaps because of the grisly reminders at the massacre site, both the Blackfoot and the Crees became convinced that the lake was inhabited by the spirits of the murdered tribesmen. They claimed that the whispering of the wind in the spruce trees and the flickering shadows on the water were from these spirits. Some even insisted that they had seen the ghost of one of the warriors, beheaded in an ambush, riding his horse across the hills in the moonlight, searching for the head he had lost.

All the tribes started calling the place Ghost Pine or Devil’s Pine Lake. It was a name that lasted until the 1890’s when unimaginative officials decided to adopt the shorter ‘Pine Lake’ as the name for the new post office.

The name of the Lake may have been altered, but the sto-

ries persisted. One old timer of the district once claimed to have been traveling down the road at the north end of the Lake just after a snowstorm.

There were a set of horse’s hoof prints ahead of him, but suddenly they stopped. There was no imprint in the snow to indicate that the horse and its rider had gone either forward or back on the previous trail. The track just ended.

On another occasion, this same old timer looked across the Lake towards the old massacre site. He saw a mirage which looked a lot like a First Nation encampment. He strained to see more clearly and moved to get closer. However, the image vanished almost as quickly as it had appeared.

Another old story involves an old vacant farm house in the west country. One night, a man was passing by the house with his team and wagon, when he picked up a mysterious stranger at the gate. The traveler tried to strike up a conversation with his new companion, but without much success. As they passed by the old barn on the southern edge of the property, the driver was badly shocked and frightened when the stranger suddenly vanished from the seat beside him.

Michael Dawe

Some of the locals insist that the last family to have lived in the house were forced out due to a number of very strange occurrences which they witnessed. For a great many years afterwards, there were stories about strange lights and strange sounds coming from the now

derelict farmhouse late at night.

Whatever had been happening, or whatever the truth to these old tales, it is fun to retell them on a crisp Hallowe’en night when tradition tells us that the spirits are out on a prowl and old hauntings come to life again.

The Red Deer Royals Marching Show Band is turning to the prime minister to help with the remaining funds of their new home, the Kinsmen Fieldhouse, located at St. Joseph High School.

But first, they need the support of Central Albertans.

The group is $600,000 short in their fundraising efforts for their new permanent rehearsal facility.

So far, $2.1 million has been raised for the cause by the Red Deer Royals.

In hopes of raising the remaining amount, the Red Deer Royals Alumni Association is looking for people to write letters in support of appealing to the federal government for funding.

The letters will be collected and then presented to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by Red Deer-Lacombe MP Blaine Calkins. So far, they have 400 letters written and are hoping to get another 600 to take to Ottawa.

“The facility is finished and now open and being utilized by the students of Red Deer Catholic in the daylight hours and the Royals get it for Saturday and Wednesday evenings,” said Ray McBeth, fundraising chair for the Red Deer Royals Alumni Association.

“We’re looking for people who would like to enter into a partnership with us and who would take over one or two of the other week nights and that would help us with our fundraising too.”

The Red Deer Royals has been fixture on the marching band scene locally, provincially, nationally and world-wide for nearly 50 years.

Ten years ago, a group of former Royals and parents got involved to provide the band with a suitable, permanent rehearsal facility.

Previously, the band rehearsed where ever they could find that was suitable, but many times it wasn’t all together as one band.

A partnership with Red Deer Catholic Schools was developed with the construction of the Kinsmen Fieldhouse. The Royals’ financial commitment is $2.7 million, representing 50% of the cost of the Fieldhouse.

The Fieldhouse opened this spring and the Royals have been rehearsing there since April.

McBeth added he hopes to have the letters collected around the middle of November.

The wonders of taking an Alaskan cruise We recently decided to go to Alaska with a few friends and we settled on the Holland America Niew Amsterdam seven-day round trip Vancouver.

We arrived at the cruise terminal around noon and even though this is a busy time, within one hour we were taking our first steps onto the ship and our stateroom was ready for us to drop off our carry-on bags.

The food on Holland America was amazing and I especially appreciated that the buffet food was handled by the staff. We enjoyed the wide range of salad options that was mixed up for you in large bowls. If you love burgers you won’t be disappointed with Holland America’s version. They cook everything fresh and you are given a pager that that would go off when it is ready. Just remember not to go to far away as there is a range that it will work within.

We also experienced the specialty restaurant, the Pinnacle Grill that had a great selection of steaks, chicken and fish with an upscale experience.

Holland America has the America test kitchen which will put on cooking shows with different foods every day. In the evening, this turns into the BJ’s Jazz Club with a live band. This area was very popular so get there early if you want to get a seat. The music is lively and is a great place to go dancing to some great music. The piano bar was also a great gathering spot. The nightly entertainment was decent and they had a different show every night.

We liked going to the observation deck which was a combination Internet café, specialty coffee section, lots of games and books to choose from. This is a great place to get away from it all and just literally watch the world go by.

Juneau was our first stop and while it poured down rain it didn’t damper our enthusiasm to try our hand at gold panning.

Okay maybe three of the group didn’t mind and I had a great time exploring the area and tak-

SCENIC - If you want to see all that Alaska has to offer, a cruise ship might be your best bet. ing pictures of the surrounding area. From there we had a salmon bake which was cooked over an open fire and with all the trimmings. We had time to stop at the Red Dog Saloon to mingle with the tourist and locals and enjoyed the entertainment and the local beer.

Our next stop was Skagway and this was my first time here and I was so impressed with this little town. One couple took the highly rated train trip to the White Rail Pass and we choose to take the tour of the town and area and that also took us to

the Alaskan border. The scenery was absolutely spectacular and the history of course surrounded the gold rush days and the likes of Soapy Smith who was known as the crime-boss of the 19th century Old West.

To learn more don’t hesitate to take in the Days of 98 Show, but be careful as you might just find yourself on stage doing the Cancan with the actors. If you are looking for a great place to eat then we highly recommend the Skagway Fish Company which had amazing fish and chips along of course the cold

Alaskan local beer. The Red Onion Saloon was a great place to end our time in Skagway before heading back to the ship.

Seeing Sawyer Glacier was another great day and even though it isn’t as active as Hubbard Glacier the size of this glacier more than made up for it. The benefit of having a balcony was evident during this time as it was raining, cold and miserable and it was great to see this magnificent glacier from the comfort of our balcony instead of standing out in the cold and rain without any protection. I

was surprised at how long we stayed here and the ship made a complete turn so it didn’t matter which side you were on you were able to fully experience this outstanding glacier.

Our last and final stop was Ketchikan. The tour we choose was the unlimited crab feast and float-plane. If I did this again I would recommend too book this excursion in the afternoon as eating all you can eat crab at 10 a.m. can be done, it would have been more enjoyable later in the day. The scenery from the float-plane was worth ev-

erything and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this excursion.

Ketchikan has in my opinion the best shopping off all these three ports but just remember to once again support the local business owners and artists.

If you are looking for a great place to eat, then make sure you go to the Fish House and try their halibut and chips. Love the seating style as you will get a chance to meet lots of people from around the world.

Toronto-based pop/rock quartet will hit Bo’s Nov. 2nd

BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com

The Elwins will be on the road to Red Deer soon as part of their cross-Canada tour.

The Toronto-based pop-rock quartet will perform some of their songs, including songs off their newly-released third album, Beauty Community out Oct. 13th.

They will be heading to Bo’s Nov. 2nd to perform some of their latest songs.

The band’s bassist and singer Francesco Figliomeni said the making of the album was quite the interesting process.

“I think on our last record we saw the most success we’d ever seen up to that point, and that’s something that really excited all of us, so I think going into this one we were really excited to get working on it, but maybe there was also a little bit of pressure that wasn’t necessarily there before,” said Figliomeni.

He said the group, which includes Feurd (Ian Robertson Moore), Travis Stoki and Matthew Sweeney, all worked very hard, and through the first chunk of making the record, were in a place where they had to write as many songs as possible, which Figliomeni said had them working in their own bubbles, not working collaboratively.

They reached a turning point halfway through the record where they felt like they were at their best when they were operating as a group, so they all ended up coming back together, working collaboratively on the back half of it.

“Going through all of that is something that was hard at the time, but we’re all really proud of how it ended up. That’s where the album title Beauty Community came from, realizing that we’re at our best when it’s all four members operating at full capacity and stuff instead of the four separate parts.”

Feurd, Travis and Matt all met in high school in Newmarket, which is where they all grew up.

“Matt and Travis started the band as a two piece and they

BEAUTY COMMUNITY - The Elwins will be heading out to Red Deer to perform songs from their latest album Nov. 2nd at Bo’s. recorded an EP and they knew Feurd from high school, and he joined and they recorded the first album,” said Figliomeni.

Figliomeni was from Newmarket as well, and heard about the band and had friends that liked them.

“I was just looking to join a band, so I joined back in 2012 and we’ve just been hitting the road ever since.”

Figliomeni first got into music through his relatives.

“My nonno used to play accordion for all of us when we were kids, me and my cousins and my sister, and then I had a lot of cousins who started to play music.

“They were playing piano

and drums and stuff,” he said, adding that he then started learning guitar and piano.

▾ “WE LOVE COMING OUT TO RED DEER AND ARE EXCITED TO GO BACK TO BO’S. THEY’RE ALWAYS INCREDIBLY NICE TO US THERE.”

Francesco Figliomeni ▴

He said through trying a bunch of different instruments he realized that songwriting

was something he wanted to do.

He later ended up playing in a band with his cousins for a while and then, of course, The Elwins.

When it comes to songs on the record, there are some that Figliomeni sings on, and a lot that Matt sings on, so there’s different perspectives.

“It’s fun having a bunch of different songwriters in the band where I feel like everybody’s inspired by different things, but in general on this one, I feel like we were trying to be a little bit more personal with the lyrics and the songwriting.”

He said they still wanted

there to be things that people could relate to, but he said they wore their hearts on their sleeves a bit more.

Figliomeni said a good moment the group recently experienced was when they received a free pair of Heely’s after they sent an email of a video they made to Heely’s asking if they could get a pair.

“On a more serious note, just being able to travel with three guys who I spend the majority of my time with and being able to go to Japan and experience those things as a group is something really, really special that I love.”

He said it’s made him reflect on the time he was a kid, going

Jesse Korgemaa photo

on a road trip with his parents.

“I used to go to New York with my parents as a kid and it was a nine-hour drive or something, and I was thinking about that, and thinking about how much time I’ve spent in a vehicle with the rest of the band, and I’ve probably spent the majority of my life with these guys,” he said with a laugh.

Already on the road, the group will be doing about a month in the states and will be doing a cross-Canada tour with a band called the Fast Romantics.

“We love coming out to Red Deer and are excited to go back to Bo’s. They’re always incredibly nice to us there.”

Entertainment The Glorious Sons return to Red Deer

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The Glorious Sons out of Kingston, Ontario will be making their return to Red Deer on the heels of the release of their new album Young Beauties and Fools.

The album, which follows their debut album The Union is a window into the soul of Lead Singer Brett Emmons, who combines powerful vocals with lyrical tales of alcoholism, lost love and growing fame.

Lead Guitarist, and Brett’s brother, Jay Emmons, said the album is a departure from their earlier work “With The Union, we wrote a lot of that material in our jam space,� he said. “We would throw ideas at the wall and see what stuck. It was time consuming, but we had a lot of time since it was our first album. In Beauties, a lot of the things came from Brett’s voice notes. They were acoustic songs that as a band in the jam space, we couldn’t really find a home for

them until we went to L.A. with these production guys. “They saw these ideas of Brett’s as super unique little pieces. They showed us how we could turn these almost-folk little ditties into rock songs. It is super unique to compared to what we have done in the past and I don’t think a lot of other artists have explored that avenue.�

The album, which currently has the track Everything is Alright trending across Canada, is wide-open look into Brett’s psyche, according to Jay. “A lot of it is very autobiographical. Brett is an open book as a lyricist, but the songs brought life to his stories and made it even more personal,� he said.

While much of the album has the familiar guitar-riffs that made songs from The Union like Heavy and Lightning instant hits, there is a deliberate effort by the band to evolve their sound, which is evident in the songs Josie and My Poor Heart. “It (My Poor Heart) is a guitar-driven song, but it the rhythm is something we

haven’t done before,� Jay said. “It has that shuffle beat that goes through it and we haven’t gone down that avenue.�

Jay added evolving their sound led to a fun atmosphere, but was something that required discipline during the process. “We had a couple false starts and recorded a couple great songs in studio, but we still hadn’t found the sound we were searching for until we worked with those producers in L.A. That unlocked all the songs in Young Beauties and Fools.

The Glorious Sons have an strong legion of fans in Central Alberta, which has made returning to Red Deer something to look forward to for the band. “It is kind of like playing a hometown show a few thousand kilometres away,� Jay said. “Right from day one, it has felt like we are hometown boys. We always really enjoy coming to Red Deer and playing rock n’ roll shows.�

The Glorious Sons play at the Red Deer Memorial Centre on Nov. 1st. Tickets are available through Ticketfly.

A night of laughs to support sea cadets

BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com

Comedians Andrew Grose and Ben Proulx will be making their way to Westerner Park for a night of laughs to support the 126 Red Deer Sea Cadets.

Just in time for Oct. 31st, Halloween Comedy Night will take place Oct. 28th, with all proceeds going to support the 126 Red Deer Sea Cadets’ future training.

Although Halloween costumes aren’t required, they are highly encouraged. “There will be a prize for best costume and their will be a costume contest. It’s an evening of finger food and laughs,� said Lori Lewis, branch member with Red Deer Sea Cadets.

The money goes to support a youth program run by the Navy

League of Canada.

Lewis said it’s a youth program that teaches the kids leadership skills, and they get to work on community growth projects.

This year marks the first time of the event, and Lewis said she’s hoping it’s going to be a huge success. “With the particular organization we do a lot of different fundraising for them so they can pursue the activities and go out on their sail weekends, and this was just one of the ideas that was brought up to try out this year for bringing in some extra funds for the kids to continue with their programming and training,� she said.

Even though it’s almost winter time, the kids continue to remain busy throughout the year, doing a number of sail weekends on Sylvan Lake, outdoor adventure

EVERYBODY VOLUNTEERS

Sunnybrook Farm Museum Volunteers Provide Educational Programs to 2800 Children Celebrating its 29th year of operation since being gifted to the community in 1988 by the Bower family, our local Sunnybrook Farm Museum is a testament to the generosity and hard work of Central Alberta volunteers.

Located on the original 10-acre farm site just north of Bower mall, the museum tells the story of rural life between 1880 and the 1950s.

Each year, 85 individuals contribute over 9,000 hours to the ongoing operations of the museum. This dedicated group of volunteers does everything from mowing the grass and restoring old tractors to baking pies and serving lunches.

Many of the volunteers retired from farming or grew up on a

farm, and volunteering at the museum keeps them connected with their past. Some join to enjoy the fellowship of new friends and to see the museum kept a beautiful place for all visitors to enjoy.

Volunteers also help present our pioneer themed school programs to more than 2,800 children. Regardless of what brings people to the museum, they tend to stay. Many of our volunteers have served with us for more than 15 years. We are so thankful for the generosity of volunteers and everything they do in our community.

Remember, you’re always welcome on the farm!

Red Deerian receives nation’s highest volunteer honour

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

Red Deer resident Sharon Schultz recently received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers - the nation’s highest honour for people who donate their time.

The medal, which is awarded through the Governor General of Canada’s office, is in recognition of Schultz’s time volunteering for the Canadian Cancer Society, Canadian Blood Services, organizing the Remembrance Day ceremonies at Lindsay Thurber High School and her involvement with Red Deer Public Schools Finish Line program, which helps students complete their high school diploma.

Schultz was made aware of the honour over a year ago.

BIG PLAY - Rebels’ forward Reese Johnson would come close on this chance against Calgary Hitmen netminder Nick Schneider. The Rebels would go on to to win 4-2.

Rebels follow win over Hitmen with tough loss to Cougars

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

After a tough 4-1 loss to the Saskatoon Blades last weekend where the Rebels looked completely out of sorts, they were looking to right the ship against their QEII rivals - the Calgary Hitmen.

Both Calgary and Red Deer came into the game having lost three of the last five games and were looking to get back in the win column.

The Rebels looked ready to play right out of the gate when Lane Zablocki notched his second goal of the season in the first minute of play.

The Hitmen would play Red Deer even for the rest of the first period, with chances going both ways but neither team managing to find the twine.

The Rebels would manage to extend their lead six minutes into the second when Brandon Hagel and Kristian Reichel hooked up Mason McCarty

We did it!

for his team-leading ninth goal of the season.

The Rebels would have have the majority of the chances, but would be unable to capitalize again, keeping score at 2-0 heading into the final frame.

The Rebels would start the third similar to how they started the first, with a quick goal in the first two minutes by Austin Pratt.

Red Deer Captain Grayson Pawlenchuk would follow that up with his seventh of the season on a beauty feed from Jared Dmytriw with 12 minutes to go.

“That was a lot better game compared to our last one,” Pawlenchuk said. “It was a lot better in terms of playing a 60-minute game.

“We had four lines going and that is was we want to play,” Rebels’ Coach Brent Sutter said.

The Hitmen would finally show some life a minute later when Jake Bean found Tristen Nielson for his first goal of the season, bringing

the score to 4-1 Red Deer.

The Hitmen would follow that up with a late goal by Drea Esposito with 37 seconds, remaining, however the Rebels would run away with the 4-2 victory.

“Our effort and compete level was certainly at a different level than it was last weekend,” Sutter said. “That is what we wanted to see. We played with emotion and intensity.”

Rebels’ netminder Ethan Anders would stop 24 shots in the win.

“He stood on his head and made a couple great saves. That is definitely great to have,” Pawlenchuk said.

“I felt good about our preparation for tonight in terms of the kid’s mindsets,” Sutter added.

The Rebels would play again the following evening against the visiting Prince George Cougars.

Unforuntately for the home team, the Cougars

would run away with a tough-to-swallow 4-1 win.

The Cougars would notch goals from Jackson Leppard, Josh Mason, Brogan O’Brien and Aaron Boyd.

Prince George goaltender Tavin Grant would stop 34 of the Rebels 35 shots on goal.

McCarty would score the only goal for the Rebels, who dropped to 6-5-0-0 and would move in to a virtual lock with Edmonton and Medicine Hat in the Central Division all with 12 points.

The Rebels will look to get back on track this weekend where they play two games at home-Friday against Spokane and Saturday against Regina.

Spokane comes into the game into the game three in the U.S. division at 7-5-0-1 for 14 points and the Pats are currently sitting first in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race at 7-5-1-0.

Both games are at the Enmax Centrium at 7 p.m.

Sports Hunting Hills Lightning finish off undefeated season

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

With first place firmly secured, the Hunting Hills Lightning football team—who are currently ranked second in provincial rankings—looked to make sure they ended their season on a high note against the Notre Dame Cougars.

The first quarter was sloppy, with several turnovers being committed by both squads. The only scoring play of the segment came when Quarterback Brandon Rees connected with wide-out Nathan Lavigne, bringing the score to 6-0 after the ensuring extra point was blocked by the Cougar special teams.

The second quarter played similar to the first, with the ball being unable to stick in the receiver’s hands.

The Cougars would force the Lighting to concede two points in their own end, however, the Lightning would clap back with another Lavigne from Rees score—bringing the score to 13-2.

The Cougars would have the answer with under 15 seconds in the frame, when Rees would drop the ball in the back field—leading the Cougars’ Alex Groenen running back for the touchdown.

The score going into the half was 13-8 Lightning.

“The first half was exactly what we needed,” said Coach Kyle Sedgwick.

“Notre Dame came out and played hard. We needed a good test. We had a turnover at the end of the half that they scored on.

No team is going to lay down for you. The first half was not great and we responded in the second.”

ROUTINE WIN - Hunting Hills Lightning reciever Nathan Lavigne punched through the Notre Dame defence, enroute to a 28-8 Lightning win.

The Lightning would start off the second half in a hurry, with Rees handing it off to his running back Logan Clarkson for a 15-yard score.

The Lightning would manage to drive it home for the extra two-points on the ensuring play, bringing the score to 21-8.

Clarkson on the Lightning’s next possession would have a series of big yardage plays, before Rees would run in the final two yards himself for the score—bringing the game to a final score of 28-8 after the ensuring extra point.

Sedgwick was pleased with Clarkson’s first game in blue this season, who played due to the absence of star running back Luc Lukalu.

“He was a Grade 10 last year and was our main tailback,” Sedgwick said. “Luk was out tonight and with (Clarkson) who is a Grade 10, it gives us good balance between quickness and power.”

Meanwhile, The Lacombe Rams and the Lindsay Thurber Raiders played their final playoff warm-up on Friday night.

The second-seed Rams easily disposed of their opponents 3521. Lacombe had 500 yards total offence and quarterback Johnny Ericson through for 343 yards on

23/30 attempts. Rams wide-out Richard Janz had three catches for 85 yards.

Look for striking originality in your design elements It has been a sad week for Canadian culture with the deaths of two icons in our music and entertainment industry.

One was an acquaintance of mine whom I have shared meals and scrabble games and many laughs with and the other was a revered musician I was once in the presence of as he belted his heart out on stage while holding a banana.

Both men were treasures and talented beyond belief and it is a great loss to see these gentle souls say their last goodbyes and be taken from us too soon.

Both men were quirky, interesting and even eccentric in their own ways.

Many people who are creative geniuses and who live their lives for the entertainment of others are unique and special and often just a little off centre – which is what is most lovable about them.

When I am searching for a home or design accent, furniture, colour…. just about anything quirky will capture my attention. There are rows and rows of the same darn thing and blocks and blocks of the same type and style of house, especially in a neighbourhood

with architectural controls.

If you have ever driven into a subdivision and had trouble finding your way out because every house looks the same, you know what I am referring to.

When looking for homes in Lacombe, we first settled on a bi-level as there was very little inventory to buy in 2005.

Within a few years I was eager to get my hands into a unique, character home.

I craved the unusual layouts and hidden corners that are classic in older homes.

When we walked into the one that would eventually be ours, all I had to do was discover the hidden staircase at the back of the house which led into the kitchen and I was hooked!

After all the bi-levels and bungalows and square boxes I had lived in, this home captured my imagination and it was love at first sight.

The fact that I fell down those stairs several times after moving in didn’t reduce my love, even though those narrow steep stairs did a number on my tailbone!

When you come across ‘the find’ in a store that you KNOW needs to come home with you,

it is a reaction you can’t deny.

When you walk into that house, it is a full on emotional reaction that completely sways you.

Sometimes it can be a feature, other times it can be a feel or a mood which strikes you and draws you further into the place. The quirky and eccen-

tric musician who wears weird hats and graphic t-shirts is the embodiment of brilliance and a deep, poetic soul and the actor who plays a drunk and verbally abusive trailer park warden is a behind-the-scenes scholar and philosopher. The unusual, the strange and eccentric are all

marks of brilliance.

The home with the extra character hints at an architect or builder with vision and love for a project and the perfect decorative find is probably the love child of an artisan who worked that piece by hand rather than it being cookie cutter punched

in a factory.

To all of these things we should pay attention for their unequalled beauty and unique gifting.

RENO SHOW - Many people came out to Westerner Park over the weekend looking for various ideas for their home at the Red Deer Home Renovation & Design Show.

New mortgage rule changes coming this January So if you feel like all you hear about these days are mortgage rule changes then you should know that you are in fact correct. Every year for the past eight we have seen a major change to the rules. The latest round of mortgage rule changes have been announced so once again we need to take a closer look at how Canadians will be affected.

The first change is that all borrowers must now qualify for their mortgage on the stress test rate. The stress test rate is either the Bank of Canada posted rate or 2% higher than the rate the client is being offered, whichever is greater.

Previously this was only for those with less

than 20% down. The reasoning for this is to ensure that homeowners can afford potentially higher rates at the end of their mortgage term.

In practical terms this will translate roughly to a decrease in purchasing power of approximately 20% to these home buyers.

There were additional limitations to lenders who offer first and second mortgages which are bundled together. These mortgages can no longer be presented as a way to circumvent the governmental rules. This type of mortgage was only for a very small percentage of homeowners as it is accompanied by slightly higher rates and lender fees.

Pam Pikkert

There is mixed reaction to how this will affect the Canadian housing market. Some experts say that this will keep the banking system on balance. Others speculate that the changes were made as a further effort to cool the still hot markets of Toronto and Vancouver. Still others think that home prices across Canada will have to fall to allow sellers to find qualified buyers.

In October of 2016 the stress test was applied to those with less than 20% down and since then there has been decrease of 4.5% of insured homebuyers. During this same period there was an increase of 17.3% to uninsured mortgages.

So basically the take away is this - as of Jan. 1st all homebuyers in Canada will have to qualify at an increased rate.

Things which have not changed:

• 5% is the minimum down payment • Even if this is your second home you can purchase with 5% down • 25 years is the maximum amortization with less than 20% down • 30 years amortization is still possible with more than 20% down • Those with less than 20% down will be offered better rates as there is less risk given the mortgage default insurance Mortgages can seem overwhelming. Call your local qualified mortgage professional for advice on how to navigate them as painlessly as possible.

Pregnancy Care Centre holds annual fundraising banquet

NEW HOME - The Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre will hold its grand opening of the new Red Deer office and phase two of the maternity home Nov. 2nd at its new location. photo submitted

BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com

It’s a double whammy celebration for the Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre (CAPCC) Nov. 2nd.

The centre will be holding its annual fall fundraising banquet at the Sheraton Hotel.

“We’ve been doing that for close to 30 years now,” said Anne Waddell, executive director of the centre, adding that community feedback has been fantastic.

Waddell said it’s a great opportunity for them to host their supporters, and even people that may want to know more about them and the work they do.

“It’s a great evening for that so that we always present and educate on the work we do and why we do it and how we do it. We always have an opportunity to have client testimonies there where clients come and share their stories,” she said.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with the main event beginning at 6:30 p.m.. The night will feature an evening dinner, silent auction and more. An appeal will later take place to ask for donations towards the centre’s annual operating budget.

Also taking place Nov. 2nd is a celebration of the centre’s grand opening of the new Red Deer office and phase 2 of the maternity home.

“We re-located our offices to this whole new location on 47th Street and we added to that the new program of maternity housing for single pregnant and single and young parenting moms.

It’s a two phased project,” said Waddell.

The first phase, she said, allows for four-bedrooms with private bath, a common living area, kitchen, house parents quarters and staffing quarters for the maternity home.

CALFRAC IS HIRING – Red Deer Hiring Fair!

Phase two allows for seven one-bedroom apartments and a child care facility and a visitors lounge on the second and third floor of the building.

“That allows them to transition from phase one into a more independent living into the second phase up to two years of the child’s age,” she said.

The Pregnancy Care Centre has also experienced expansion of its programs and services throughout Central Alberta.

Over three years ago they opened a centre in Olds and since then have opened one last January in Rocky Mountain House.

Waddell said they have now have a presence there, where they’re able to offer their core services of options counselling, post abortion recovery and education, steps to sexual health and any grief support.

The grand opening of the new facility located at 5116 47th St. is from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 2nd with tours of the new office and maternity home. Ribbon cutting will take place at 4 p.m.

The banquet, also taking place that evening, is free for the public to attend, and people are encouraged to book their seat as soon as they can by visiting www.pregnancycare.ca or calling their main line at 403-343-1611 as the event is based on a first come first served basis.

Waddell said they are still looking for table sponsors. The cost is $360 per table, and the centre is happy to advertise those businesses or recognize those individuals.

“We’re also welcoming silent auction items if any businesses would like to promote their businesses and gift us with a silent auction item,” she said.
