Vehicle thefts in Red Deer on the rise

BY ERIN FAWCETT efawcett@reddeerexpress.com

Vehicle thefts in Red Deer continue to be on the rise according to the latest statistics released from the City’s RCMP. From January to September of this year, 1,144 vehicles were reported stolen, which is up from 1,009 stolen vehicles for the same time period in 2016.

This number is also more than double from 2013 where 572 vehicles were reported stolen between January and September.

“Since Oct. 1st, Red Deer RCMP had reports of 35 stolen vehicles, at least 10 of which were left unlocked and running with the keys inside,” said Const. Derek Turner, with the Red Deer RCMP, adding some of the owners of those vehicles also watched their vehicle being driven away by thieves.

“Typically this time of year when the weather gets colder, people want to warm up their vehicles before they leave anywhere and it’s always an opportunity for would-be criminals to try and use that as a chance to take somebody’s vehicle or belongings,” said Turner. “These are totally preventable crimes.”

The problem not only lies within Red Deer but across the province, as the RCMP, along with their partner police agencies, continue to warn citizens about the repercussions of leaving your unsecured vehicle idling.

The police are asking vehicle owners to keep their keys/key fob on their person when allowing your vehicle to idle. Auto thieves are roaming neighbourhoods and rural areas looking

HARD WORK - Red Deer County Protective Services staff and volunteers were recognized by the RCMP for their assistance in the wildfires in the Waterton National Park region.

R

ed Deer County Protective Services staff and volunteers were recognized for their help to the RCMP during the September wildfires in the Waterton National Park region.

On Nov. 20th staff from the RCMP were on hand at Red Deer County Council Chambers to thank those individuals by giving them a District Commander’s Certificate of Appreciation.

“It’s so significant these days to have good partnerships with our emergency services folks,” said Chief Superintendent Tony Hamori, district commander of Southern Alberta RCMP. He added they seem to be getting more and more involved in the natural disaster side of things.

“Alberta’s had quite a bit of experience in that in the last few years with Slave Lake, Fort McMurray, Waterton and High River, so we’ve made extensive networks over the last few years with respect to our partners in emergency services,” he said.

“It’s a great honour to be recognized by the RCMP, especially for the volunteers, because they are true volunteers that go out and put their time in, and to be able to go out and do something and help somebody makes it all worthwhile,” said Henderson.

He added that the team took their command post down, providing the RCMP a place to work from while they were doing the road block management. They also helped to feed the members on the road blocks.

“I think we’ve shown we’re really prepared, and we’ve created these relationships. It wasn’t hard to do.

When we went down they just slid right into the roles they wanted and did what they needed,” he said about the volunteers.

Henderson said that nobody can do anything by themselves.

“The partnerships are really important and every little bit that we can supply or somebody else can supply comes altogether in times of disaster and makes things work really well.”

He said he’s learned that they have set themselves up to be a good resource for themselves and others.

Superintendent Ken Foster sees progress in city policing Foster has now been on the job for a year and has seen success

POLICE UPDATE - RCMP Superintendent Ken Foster has now been at the Red Deer RCMP detachment for one year.

Express file photo

Red Deer RCMP Superintendent Ken Foster has now been on the job for a year and has seen success in multiple avenues of municipal policing in the city.

“It has been a very busy year,” he said. “We are trying to employ and put into place new, innovating and interesting ideas on policing. Criminals move very quickly, they don’t have processes and they don’t have to follow rules. It is hard to react to that.”

One of the methods which has proved useful is Pinpoint, which is the use of advanced analytics and data analysis to prioritize policing.

“Crime is still inching upwards, but at a much slower rate than it was prior to Pinpoint. That is a positive and I think we will soon get over the peak and then it will start coming down,” he said.

Foster said Pinpoint helps the RCMP make up for a lack of infinite resources. This allows policing to also be more advantageous to the tax payer.

Foster has also looked to create a positive public perception of the RCMP in Red Deer.

“I am very focused on service to the public and trying to go above and beyond to create a culture here with all of our officers here at the detachment and our municipal employees,” he said.

“I have been out in the public as much as I can and I strongly encourage our officers to be present at events like parades and other things like that.

“A lot of people don’t understand that our officers raise their officers here in this community, they are part of this community and we all have the same interests.”

Foster said public engagement can be difficult due to the nature of crime.

“The public perception and public expectations are often different than the realities. That has been very challenging to try to engage the public in those conversations and try to get the message out,” he said.

Property crime remains a difficult challenge in Red Deer due to the downturn of the economy and other factors like addiction.

“The reality is that we do about 55,000 calls for service here, and showing up to every one is not that easy. Property crime continues to be a driver right across the province,” he said.

The legalization of cannabis in Canada will be a challenge in 2018 for police services across the country, according to Foster.

“There will be impacts on time, and retail outlets for marijuana will be targets of property crime and armed robbery, much like liquor stores sometimes are.

There will be pressures on the policing industry, no question about it. It concerns me,” he said.

He added there is no easy solution for solving crime, but he praised his officers and staff for the work they have done so far.

“The thing that struck me when I got here is just how dedicated the folks are here,” he said. “They are out there working hard and the work they are dong is very inspiring to me. They are engaged and in the game. The processes are in place and if we give them the tools to do their job, that is the future in how we will solve some of these crimes.”

www.trail-appliances.com ADMISSIBLE - Justice has determined that all evidence in Mr. Big sting operation is admissible in the proper trial.

Express file photo

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The justice determined during the Castor-area triple homicide trial that all evidence gathered during the Mr. Big sting operation is admissible in the proper trial.

The justice was deliberating a voir dire, which determines the admissibility of evidence gathered through the undercover sting operation.

Given that all Mr. Big evidence is admissible, including a confession by Jason Klaus made to Mr. Big, Klaus’s defence attorneys requested an adjournment until tomorrow morning to discuss with their clients before beginning their case.

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.

Joshua Frank has also been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in relation to the deaths.

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

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.

Prosecutors had earlier argued during their submission of evidence that Jason was not coerced into confession by Mr. Big officers.

The defence argued that Jason was yearning to fit in with the criminal organization who represented the only male friendship he has experienced. They likened his behaviour in the criminal organization to, “A kid playing cops and robbers”.

The crown argued that Jason was actively involved and willing to make suggestions throughout the operation.

Defence made the argument to suggest Jason thought by saying he committed these crimes he would rise up the organization. This is opposed to the idea that Jason admitted to the homicides in order to have the criminal organization get rid of them for him.

Jason’s lawyers argued it is important for the court to consider that Jason had confessed, recanted and then re-confessed during the course of the Mr. Big operation. His lawyers added that people who work in the courts know that people will often falsely confess to crimes and spend time incarcerated for crimes they didn’t admit.

The crown stated that the confession by Jason matches what Frank had told undercover officers on the Klaus family farm during the Mr. Big operation.

The defence will begin their case in the main trial tomorrow morning in Red Deer.

The Province of Alberta has finally released their plans for legalized cannabis, after the Government of Canada announced Bill C-45, which is slated to come into effect on July 1st, 2018.

The main story out of the announcement is that the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) will oversee the development of private retail locations, with the government only being involved in online retail.

This is welcome news for Albertans, as many Albertans feared that the Notley government would develop government-run retail shops similar to those proposed by the Province of Ontario.

“This legislation represents the culmination of extensive engagement and research on legalized cannabis. It puts our province in a position to not only meet the federal deadline of July 2018, but does so in a way that is responsible and promotes public health and safety for all Albertans,” Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Kathleen Ganley said.

The engagement involved 60,000

Albertans and 100 organizations being able to give their feedback to the proposed legislation.

What this means for Albertans is that the province has allowed much of the infrastructure cost to be shared with entrepreneurs. This also means that Albertans have the opportunity to provide innovation in a brand-new market.

While a private model, like LCBO in Ontario, could have eventually reaped benefits in a market that has been estimated to be worth as much as $10 billion according to CIBC World Markets, it would have been difficult for taxpayers to stomach the upfront infrastructure costs of creating enough retail stores in the province to reach demand.

With the help of private industry, much of that infrastructure can be shared with businesses willing to assume the risk without significant costs to the taxpayer.

The announcement was also welcome news to the Albertan business community.

“We are pleased with the government’s

announcement to go with the private retail model as cannabis becomes legalized by July 2018. This direction strikes a healthy balance that supports free enterprise, responsible government and the safety of Albertans,” Ken Kobly, president and CEO of Alberta Chambers of Commerce said.

While there’s some fear about public safety regarding the privatization of cannabis sales, the province has laid down guidelines to ensure safety including: setting the minimum age for purchase at 18; establishing provincial offences for anyone under 18 possessing five grams or less of cannabis; give AGLC the mandate to oversee distribution, compliance and enforcement for private cannabis retailers; establishing authority to set regulatory guidelines and licence requirements for private cannabis retailers; operating online cannabis sales; banning co-location of cannabis sales with alcohol, pharmaceuticals and tobacco sales; establishing restrictions around where cannabis can be smoked and vaped in

public; and establishing authority to further regulate advertising, labelling, and promotion of cannabis if required after federal regulations are established.

What this essentially means is that the province is preparing for enough oversight of the new market in order to run it similar to how alcohol and smoking cigarettes are controlled “We are very supportive of the Alberta government for their announcement on private cannabis retail for our province.

This is a responsible model that will boost our province’s economy, while keeping safety at the forefront. With Alberta’s strong entrepreneurial spirit, this retail model allows companies like ours to create hundreds, even thousands of jobs for Albertans. Not to mention, the competition created through private cannabis retail will allow our province to continue to combat the black market,” Jeff Mooij, owner of 420 Clinic said.

The province will release further details on drug-impaired driving, taxation and workplace safety as they come available.

process set an important standard in European co-operation. This was soon followed by the Treaty of Rome (1957), which established the European Atomic Energy Community.

With the success of these early supranational agreements, the road was cleared for more globalization initiatives.

That accelerated the development of the European Economic Community and set the stage for the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement in the 1980s.

So what’s wrong with modern globalization?

A lot, it seems. Globalization has been associated with the hollowing out of developed economies, wage stagnation, runaway climate change and, as we’ve seen recently, corporate tax evasion on an unprecedented scale. Basically, globalization has been terrible for stuckat-home wage earners and nothing short of a windfall for global elites.

So where did globalization go wrong?

It went wrong at the worst possible moment. Post-war globalization was hit with a perfect storm: just as the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, a pernicious version of neoclassical economics was infecting western capitalism, changing the course of post-war history.

Monetarism, a radical form of free-market economics developed at the University of Chicago, perpetuated the myth that unencumbered market forces alone would optimize the capitalist system. At a stroke, what became known as the Washington Consensus

emerged. It jettisoned the political ideals of globalization and any idea of balanced growth.

In the 1990s, Wall Street investment bankers became the guardians of globalization. Focused narrowly on maximizing corporate profits, the Washington Consensus strongly supported the idea that corporations and their profits were the only things that really mattered.

After this, human rights vanished from free-trade dialogue. In the absence of established workers’ rights, developing countries like China, Vietnam and the Philippines persisted in exploiting powerless workers to created unfair cost advantages, and yet continued to have unlimited access to developed economies.

This fatal flaw is now undermining trade deals like the TPP. Fixing the TPP won’t be easy but Trudeau will find a growing audience for his plan to return to balanced growth.

A renewed commitment to improving workers’ wages and conditions in emerging economies would level the international playing field.

Those are good first steps toward fixing globalization.

Tensions were high in Council Chambers at City Hall Nov. 14th because of the lacking communication on the need for supervised consumption services from the province.

“The City of Red Deer is extremely frustrated with the information differential that we’ve been functioning on. Alberta Health Services has a report regarding supervised consumption services that Turning Point is basing their recommendations on,” said Mayor Tara Veer.

She added City council has not been privy to that report at this time.

“Earlier in July the minister had said there were no specific plans for supervised consumption in Red Deer. The needs assessment identified the willingness of the municipality as a criteria, and so the City has conducted itself in good faith in responding to the process that we were formerly told by the provincial government,” said Veer.

Since that time the associate minister has written a letter indicating that the City of Red Deer is not being asked to take a position.

“We feel frustrated in that respect. Our citizens have the right

to expect due process and in transparency decisions of this nature, and so we have been functioning within the context of changing rules.”

The other part that they are frustrated about, she said, is years ago in response to the high level of addictions in the City, the community tabled a drug and alcohol strategy that identified numerous pillars for responding to the local addictions crisis.

“The government has consistently not responded to our pleas for addictions treatment in recognition of the fact that for us to resolve addictions we need treatment capacity available for the citizens of Red Deer and region, and it has become an exacerbated crisis because the provincial government has failed to respond to those longstanding requests for treatment.”

Members of council also expressed their frustrations with lack of communication from the province.

Among the frustration, Veer and council heard a presentation from Turning Point Society of Central Alberta. They presented their needs assessment data, where there was a study done called the Red Deer Drug Use and Health Survey.

members who use drugs, and they answered over 100 questions related to their health, to supervised consumption services, to their needs and to their willingness to use a supervised consumption service,” said Rebecca Hare of Turning Point.

The data showed a wide range of information, all coming to the conclusion the majority of participants were willing to use supervised consumption services in Red Deer, and the majority were willing to use at Turning Point specifically, followed by Safe Harbour. Of the drugs, injection drugs were close to 80 per cent at the highest.

Currently the province is looking at the feasibility study and had made no commitments to the community of Red Deer.

“It would be our interpretation of the research that we would benefit from a supervised consumption service in Red Deer,” said Stacey Carmichael of Turning Point.

Council unanimously passed a resolution that directs administration to bring forward a report to the Nov. 27th council meeting on the land use and development process for supervised consumption services in Red Deer, including options for process, consultation, development authorities and locational criteria.

Daddy Daughter dance to support victims of human trafficking

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

A Daddy Daughter Dance is being held at the Innisfail Legion in support of the Magdalene House Society.

The society helps support victims of human trafficking in Central Alberta, most of which results from the sex trade. The society had previously been operating a house from March 2015 to October 2016, but were forced to close due to lack of funds.

“We have been around since 2009 and we have no government funded assistance,” Executive Director Tammy Rogers said. “All of our operational costs are done through fundraisers and donations.”

During the time the house was in operation, Magdalene House assisted 11 women in mov-

ing away from human trafficking and towards different career paths. Following the closure, the board of the society made a choice to move onto prevention and outreach.

“We have created an education program to help

young women between the ages of 12-15 learn the tricks and traps that are used by traffickers both online and in person,” Rogers said. “The average age of recruitment, we know from research, is 13-14 years old. We want to be able to prevent future victims of trafficking.”

The society said they have ran a pilot with the Red Deer Catholic School Board, which had positive results.

“The other component we are looking at is starting an outreach program to work with those currently in the sex trade and looking to exit,” Rogers said. “We have been working to develop that model of doing referrals and helping clients get things in place they need to exit sex work and move into a different career path.”

While local numbers are hard to pinpoint, Rogers said that over 98 per cent of human trafficking in Canada is people actually from

Canada, of which indigenous populations are disproportionately represented.

“Awareness is a huge component of what we are trying to do,” Rogers said. “People just don’t believe that it is happening and happening locally.

The Daddy Daughter dance is targeted at girls we are trying to bring this information to and their families.

“When we talk about the average age of recruitment in groups, you can see the look on the faces of parents that have children in that age bracket. They think, ‘Oh. Wait a minute. I need to think about this.’”

Tickets for the January 13th, 2018 event are $60 per person and can be purchased by emailing kristen.spatz@hotmail.com.

Rogers added, “It is a fun night, but the background is about providing information to families.”

CMHA releases survey to improve mental health services

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The Canadian Mental Health Association Central Alberta (CMHA) is starting their Speak up for Mental Health campaign with a survey to gather information on how mental health and wellness education may look in coming years.

The survey, which can be found at reddeer.cmha.ca, looks into four areas: relationships and communication; mental health services

and treatment; workplace mental health; and mental health recovery and wellness.

Respondents can choose to answer any or all of the parts depending on its importance to their lives.

“One of those parts may be more relevant or of interest to you,” CMHA Manager of Programs Theresa Therriault said. “From that, we will spend time doing analysis and developing a report that will hopefully create direction for us.

It will help inform new pro-

gramming and new planning around programming.

“It will also help us know where to spend our money and also inform us on who we need to reach out to.”

Therriault said CMHA has not done a survey since seven years ago.

“The idea is to acknowledge how much has changed,” she said. “We have a lot of diversity in our community and we are recognizing there is a lot of innovative ways that mental health and wellness education

can be delivered. We want to hear from people to know what is important to them; what they would attend when it comes to courses and workshops; whether we can revamp existing offerings; and whether we can develop new things that will be more responsive and meet the needs of people.”

A press release from CMHA explained that the survey will help “create new educational programs that are responsive to community needs and that reflect the best of the innova-

tive and well-tested educational programs that are available.”

The survey is intended to encompass all of Central Alberta and not just simply Red Deer.

“The only way we can reach the needs of the community is by hearing from people,” she said. “We are looking at who is using the service and who

in the community in terms of people and service providers can give us some input.

“It is an opportunity to speak up and have their voices heard and then we can listen carefully and respond accordingly.”

A paper copy of the survey can be sent to you by contacting 403-342-2266.

SCiP program gives students lots of connections

MAKING CONNECTIONS - Muna Ahmed is one of the many students who participate in the SCiP program each year. photo submitted

BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com

Serving Communities Internship Program (SCiP) is a program offered through the Government of Alberta and Volunteer Alberta, giving post-secondary students throughout the province many benefits.

“The process is that non-profits can submit a job description through the SCiP website or the

SCiP office, which I believe is housed at Volunteer Alberta in Edmonton,” said Pam Snowdon, executive director with Red Deer’s Volunteer Central.

That job description is then vetted by the SCiP staff, and once accepted, is posted on their website so that post secondary students can apply for the internships.

“The internships give the students some work experience and a reference, and also a $1,000

bursary when they’re done the internship,” said Snowdon.

She added the internships generally run for their academic school year from September until when they’re done in April.

“The agreement is for the non-profit organization to use them on average about five hours a week, so it’s not meant to burden them, because academics come first.”

Snowdon said last year she had two SCiP students that were interning in Volunteer Central’s youth program out of the Red Deer Public Library’s downtown branch.

“We had a drop-in program for youths that were interested in learning about volunteer opportunities.”

She said one of the interns was a group facilitator and the other planned the program.

This year Snowdon has another SCiP intern named Muna Ahmed, who is a kinesiology student at Red Deer College.

She’s doing the youth program.

“We’re doing it different this year. She’s actually prepared a presentation and is booking speaking engagements at the high schools, and she’s already been out to Lindsay Thurber,” said Snowdon, adding that she did a presentation to the leadership class.

Ahmed said she’s made lots of

connections with so many people, which is one of the reasons she wanted to join SCiP. “It’s just being able to find what’s good for you, that’s what I really love about SCiP,” said Ahmed.

She added that SCiP has been a new, but great experience for her so far.

Snowdon said they are currently advertising another position on the SCiP website for

those interested in writing about the local non-profit sector, developing some fresh content to use on their website and in their newsletters about what’s happening with non-profit organizations in Red Deer.

“It’s great for non-profits because you can get several pieces of work done using the expertise of the students,” she said, adding that they get to use their various skill sets.”

WWW.RDCOUNTY.CA

Everything, she said, is done through www.joinscip.ca.

“Students can see the intern listings on the website and they can apply right there on the website, so they submit their resume, their cover letter and a portfolio if they have one online.”

She said the non-profit end is also notified, so they know when someone has applied for scheduling an interview.

This month marks 50 years for Red Deer College This month marks an important milestone in our community’s history. It was 50 years ago, in November 1967, that the Red Deer College campus was officially opened by Governor General Roland Michener.

The history of the College actually can be traced back to the late 1950s. Margaret Parsons had become the chair of the Public School Board. She was an active advocate for creating a public college in Red Deer. She pointed out that Lethbridge had secured such an institution in 1957. She saw no reason why Red Deer could not follow suit.

Hence, in March 1959, a joint agreement was made between the Red Deer Public School District and the Red Deer (rural) School Division (later County of Red Deer) to push ahead with securing a college for Red Deer.

In October 1963, the Red Deer Separate School District and Counties of Lacombe, Ponoka and Mountain View,

formally joined the two original partners and made application to the provincial government for the incorporation of Red Deer College.

It was agreed that the Red Deer Public School District would take the lead as the official sponsoring board. Temporary space for the college was to be provided in a new wing being constructed at the Lindsay Thurber High School. G. H. Dawe, the Public School Superintendent, was named the chief administrative officer.

While there initially had been a lot of resistance by Alberta’s universities to the creation of public colleges in the province, the University of Alberta eventually gave the Red Deer proposal their official approval.

Moreover, the U. of A. agreed that Red Deer College would

be an affiliate of the university.

On Nov. 18th, 1963, the official ord e r- i n - c ou n cil was issued by the Provincial Government incorporating Red Deer Junior College. The first formal college board was created with representatives from each of the six partners.

Staff were hired and Peter Raffa was appointed the first dean. Interim space for the College was provided in a new wing constructed onto the Lindsay Thurber Composite High School. When classes started in September 1964, there were 107 full-time students and 13 part-time students, well above predictions of an inaugural enrolment of 65.

The official opening took place on Nov. 27th, 1964. F. Philip Galbraith, chancellor of the University of Alberta and

Michael Dawe

also the publisher of the Red Deer Advocate, presided.

Meanwhile, work began on securing a site for a permanent College campus. One spot north of the City was to be investigated, but a large security dog kept the officials from inspecting the site. Another location was considered in Oriole Park, but it was soon determined that this would not provide the College with what would be needed.

The Red Deer Planning Commission suggested a site east of Red Deer, but it was decided that a ring road would have to be constructed to make that location properly accessible.

Finally negotiations commenced with Laurence Banting who owned a 260 acre farm on the south side of West Park. Mr. Banting was planning to retire and was willing to consider offers on his property.

In 1963, Mr. Banting agreed to sell the farm to the Public School Board and, in turn, to the City of Red Deer for $1000 per acre. Part of the land was used for the south extension of the West Park subdivision.

However, under the agreement, 130 acres were donated by the City for the College campus site.

Laurence Banting retained the use of his home and the adjoining 12 acres until he moved

In 1966, work began on the new college on the south side of the Banting farm. Official opening ceremonies took place on Nov. 2nd, 1967 to coincide with the visit of the new Governor General of Canada, Roland Michener to Red Deer.

The building was actually not finished yet and the dignitaries nearly froze to death as there

was no heat.

In September 1968, classes commenced in the new permanent campus. Greatly expanded over the years, this is the facility which continues to serve as the major post-secondary institution for Central Alberta.

Literally thousands of students have secured their education and started their futures at Red Deer College.

RDC’s Retro Radio Christmas Review coming to the mainstage

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The Red Deer College (RDC) mainstage performance is finally doing the Christmas show RDC Instructor and Director Tom Bradshaw always wanted with Retro Radio Christmas Review.

“For a number of years I wanted to do a Christmas show,” Bradshaw said. “This year we have the opportunity to do a little bit of experimentation in making our own show.”

The show features scripts from five classic radio holiday shows including Lucille Ball’s My Favourite Husband, Orson Welles’ A Christmas Carol, Archie Andrews, Father Knows Best and Dragnet.

“We started with the scripts as starting points and then used the cast to build a story around it,” Bradshaw said. “We set the whole thing in the early to mid 1950s. It is based out of Red Deer College, but maybe not the Red Deer College people remember.”

The show is set on Christmas Eve in a fictional RDC college radio station that has brought together the biggest starts in radio.

“We have a selection of shows you will see every performance,” Bradshaw said. “A Christmas Carol will always be our second act, but we are going to rotate some of the other shows in the first act. Our cast has worked really hard looking into who these people were historically and have created their characters based on the character they are playing in the show.”

Bradshaw said the creation of the characters is something that it is an important part of their curriculum at RDC. “We had a basic script but a lot of it was asking, ‘How do we tell this story?’” Bradshaw said. “We have asked ques-

tions like ‘did Orson Welles from A Christmas Carol and Lucille Ball from My Favourite Husband ever meet? Did they ever work together?’ As the students started to research, they discovered that a lot of these radio personalities did work together.

“They have brought that research forward into the show and have created characters, some of which were big radio

stars, but kind of turned themselves away from celebrity and were never heard from again.”

Bradshaw said radio is a perfect way for performers to work on their acting chops.

“I’m not only an acting instructor, I also do the voice and speech work here,” he said. “I have always thought of radio plays as something that could stretch the use of the voice and also work on their creative skills

as well. We started to work on them and it went really well.”

The mainstage performance, put on by second-year senior students, will be the first of three shows this season, which will mark the end of RDC’s two-year program.

“It has been a great year, and in some ways this feels like the last hurrah because this is the last year of our twoyear program,” Bradshaw said.

“Hopefully we will hear about government approval for when we will be coming back with a brand-new four year program.

That is incredibly exciting because what we can do with students in two years is quite remarkable — but just wait until we have them for four years.”

The show, according to Bradshaw, is perfect for the whole family and is an excellent way to get into the holiday

spirit.

“It just seems that as we go on, there is less opportunities for families, even at Christmas time, to go out and see something they all can enjoy. It is a little challenging and risqué at points, but we keep it into the family vein. It is a great way for families to celebrate the holiday season with us,” he said.

The show will run Nov. 23rd to Dec. 2nd.

The Adventures of Mr. Toad comes to the stage

BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com

The Adventures of Mr. Toad, based off the book The Wind in the Willows

by Kenneth Grahame, is a story about Mr. Toad and his animal friends, and their life in Toad Hall.

“It’s that classic tale, so it’s got Mr. Toad who lives in Toad Hall, and Mole, Rat and Badger are the other characters. It’s about friendship mostly,” said Director, Laura DeGraff.

Performances began Nov. 17th and run Nov. 24th, 25th and 26th at New Life Fellowship in Red Deer.

The impetuous Mr. Toad falls in love with motor cars, getting into all sorts of trouble, and gets the help and support

of his friends to try and keep adding that they also practiced him on the straight and narrow. at home.

To be part of the program people can register online at www.cornerstoneyouththeatre.org. Registration is open for their winter session, which starts the second week of January.

“We’re doing The Wizard of Oz this winter,” said DeGraff.

Those performances will take place in March.

She said they will also take registration at their current show The Adventures of Mr. Toad.

Tickets for this show can be purchased online at Cornerstone’s website or at the door.

Andrew Martin brings Christmas cheer to Penhold

BY CARLIE CONNOLLY carlie.connolly@reddeerexpress.com

Singer Andrew Martin will bring his Winter Wonderland Christmas Tour to Penhold Community Church Nov. 29th.

And Christmas time is his favourite time of year.

“I love it, I can never get sick of it. I’m the guy that in February will be like ‘Okay I’m bored,’ so I’ll start singing Winter Wonderland or something,” said Martin.

He also loves the Christmas music, especially the more jazzy standards that Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra used to sing.

“Those influences are heavy in my show,” he said, later breaking into song, singing the lyrics

of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.)

Martin has been touring for a long time out west and was part of the singing Christmas tree that’s in Red Deer every year at Deer Park Alliance Church.

At this year’s concerts, he’ll be performing songs off his album Christmas Traditions as well as another album called Roots, which is a more gospel inspirational album.

“The majority of it will be our Christmas album Christmas Traditions, which has songs like Mary Did you Know, O Holy Night, Silent Night, Winter Wonderland, White Christmas, The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire), and the list goes on and on,” he said.

CARRIERS NEEDED to deliver

2 days a week in Red Deer

Call Jenn at 403-309-5454 circulation@reddeerexpress.com

Doing a Christmas tour is something Martin usually does, but this is the first time in six years he’s brought it to Alberta, as lots of his performances have been back home in Ontario.

Martin caught the singing bug when he was just four-years-old. There was a local church in town where his grandfather attended, and he decided to put on a Christmas pageant, asking Martin to sing a song.

“I walked to the stage and sang my song and my toes were just hanging over the edge of the stage the whole time, and as soon as I was done people applauded, and I just kept bowing and bowing, and he had to come up and take me off the stage,” said Martin.

He later began playing drums, and was on

the road from 14-years-old until he was 22 as a drummer and background vocalist with lots of different groups. He later moved from being the drummer to the frontman.

“As they say the rest is history and here we are today.”

Martin is currently working on a new album, with the release date still to be determined. It will be based off their 70’s Revolution show.

Martin has decided to haul back his tour dates a bit so that he can spend more time with family, and is now doing 30 to 40 concerts a year as opposed to the 190 dates he did through 2004 and 2008.

Tickets to Martin’s Penhold show are available at the door.

Red Deer River Naturalists host guest speaker

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The Red Deer River Naturalists is hosting a guest speaker night at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre.

Bradley Peter, executive director of the Alberta Lake Management Society (ALMS), will be speaking on Nov. 23rd at 7:30 p.m. about new methods of lake monitoring, and he will also provide information of citizen science monitoring of lakes in Alberta and the Red Deer River Watershed.

“He will talk about what his organization does and some of the newer methods of monitoring lakes and deciding how healthy they are,” Red Deer River Naturalists representative Tony Blake said.

“There even may be opportunities for regular people who live by lakes to learn about ways they can help with the water quality.”

According to a release from the Naturalists, ALMS works to promote understanding and comprehensive management of lakes,

reservoirs and their watersheds. Lakewatch, an ALMS program, partners with members of the public to collect data and also to raise awareness of lake functions and management options.

▾ “WATER GIVES LIFE THE WHOLE WORLD, OUR SOCIETY INCLUDED.”

Tony Blake ▴

Blake said it is important for his group and everyone to learn about the value of clean watersheds.

“Water gives life the whole world, our society included,” he said. “It is not just recreation and aesthetics. Everyone drinks

water and uses water. Water flows downhill, so everything that happens above you in the watershed affects you. It is not just about lakes, it is about the watershed and if the watershed is healthy, clean and productive—it means the land above it is more or less healthy as well.”

Peter is part of an ongoing speaker series put on by the Red Deer River Naturalists.

“We have speakers regularly,” Blake said. “During the year, we usually have nine speakers come in. They usually speak from an academic, conservation or natural history topic. They speak for about 45 minutes and then answer questions. We usually bring in lots of college researchers.”

Blake said most of the speakers they bring in have strong academic backgrounds regarding some form of conservation.

“We try to keep it interesting and relevant to Central Alberta.

A lot of it is quite cutting edge. We have had people come in and discuss otters, muskrats, caribous, botany, and sometimes we bring in people involved with local conservation,” he said.

Be transported to the golden age of radio!

Key success secret - acting in spite of your mood Do you ever have those times when you know you should be doing something, but you just don’t feel like it? (At all).

You know a sugary treat is not on your meal plan, or good nutrition, or going to help you at all, but you order it because you have had a bad day, or are tired or someone yelled at you, or you worked really hard and are super stressed and (this is my favourite excuse) ‘deserve’ it.

I spent a LOT of time Sunday morning THINKING about going for a run.

I didn’t feel like it, I had too much work to do. (I do most of my writing and planning on Sunday).

I was tired, it was windy out, it was cold out, we had family over for Thanksgiving and I didn’t want to be ‘rude’ by missing breakfast for a run, and then going off to work.

This was probably all made harder by the fact that we had Thanksgiving supper on Saturday night and I was feeling heavy from the big feed the night before.

I remembered one of the big sayings I learned from a course: ‘Act in spite of your Mood’.

Great. That saying seems so nice and easy in a course, when in the mood to improve, calm and in a mindful thought place, but here in the real world? Ug. Understand, I really did not feel like it (and I love to run!). I have been exhausted lately, and I just didn’t

want to move. I wanted to stay in BED! I got my gear ready, but I procrastinated at that too.

Couldn’t find stuff, multiple trips to different areas of the house to find gloves, the right shirt, jacket etc. Turns out, my family understood that being healthy matters to me and it was no big deal that I was going for a run.

I set up my headphones with a great audio book and did my run warm up drills.

Here’s the thing.

Once I got out into the world, it was AMAZING! (And I knew this would happen, it’s the only thing that gets me going – faith that I will feel this way).

The fall colours, the smells, the sights, the audio book filling my head with great information. I was smiling as I ran along and I was in a brilliant mood!

I got home with a spring in my step and got on with my day, energized and happier than ever.

Momentum is the thing that matters in almost every aspect of life.

You just have to START. People always ask me how to get motivated, or stay motivated and the thing is, most people can’t. You don’t wait for motivation in order to act, you act first and that motivates you!

And the hardest part of beginning, is acting in spite of your mood.

Listen, you will always feel more like staying in a nice warm bed

Scott McDermott

on a Sunday or Monday or any morning. You will always feel like eating junk food.

You will always prefer sitting on the couch doing nothing as opposed to getting all sweaty and working hard at the gym.

So how can we set ourselves up to win at this game? There are lots of ways actually!

Friends are the fastest and easiest! 1.) Call a friend and arrange to do your workout at a certain time.

You wouldn’t disappoint your friend so you will be there, and hanging out is fun!

2.) No willing friends? (could be they just aren’t into it).

Join a BootCamp or group workout where other people like you will be. There, new friends! (You’re welcome).

3.) Sign up for a goal in the future that will require you to perform your exercises or training to get ready, like a marathon, or 10k or any sort of challenging task.

4) Attach a reward to your success – new clothing, a nice meal out, whatever you determine. Have a checklist set up so that when you complete a certain number of workouts, you get your reward.

5.) Use audio books or great music to get you out of your mood and give positive input.

I employ all of these things to keep myself going!

Remember, too much of anything can be a problem. Consequently high continued doses, which are not required, might stimulate the uterine lining, a possible prelude to a malignancy.

But I’ve seen too many grateful patients over the years to consider withholding the treatment of vaginal estrogen. Some postmenopausal women have been unable to engage in sex for ten or more years when this problem could have been cured in a matter of weeks.

BANTAM CHAMPIONSHIPS - The Notre Dame Bantam Cougars and the Parkside Pythons squared off in the Alberta Provincial Tier II football championships. Cougar Audrin Uy broke through the line on this play on a drive that would eventually result in a score.

Notre Dame Cougars first Central Albertan team to win Bantam Tier II Championship

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The Notre Dame Cougars and the Parkside Pythons squared off in Lacombe for the Alberta Tier II Bantam Provincial Championship.

The game marked the first time that the Tier II championship was not played between Edmonton and Calgary teams.

Luckily for both teams, the on-field conditions were near perfect, considering the game was being held in late

November.

Despite the favourable throwing conditions, the first half was run-the-ball, defensive battle that didn’t favour either Red Deer or Medicine Hat. The Pythons would score an early touchdown, but a series of consecutive run-plays by the Cougars would lead to a touchdown score by quarterback Jaxyn Flunder 7-6, leading to a score at half time.

The second half started with an amazing 109-yard catch by Cougars receiver Ethan Briault, who took the

ball all the way from the 1-yard line on second down. The Cougars had the 13-6 lead with 5:19 left in the third quarter.

Cougars Coach Justin Flunder was amazed with the play.

“We were in the endzone deep on second down. We thought we were going to have to give up the safety at that point,” he said. “We ran the play we always run and the rest is history.”

The Pythons would have the answer in the last minute of the third when Damon Jahraus ran the ball in from

the 1-yard line, leading to 13-12 score heading into the final frame.

The Cougars would clap right back minutes into the fourth quarter when Jaxyn Flunder ran his second running touchdown in the game, putting the Cougars up 20-12 with just over seven minutes to play.

“It’s not always easy coaching your son,” Justin said. “This season he has done everything that was asked of him.

I am so proud of the young man.”

The Cougars managed to close out the game, leading to the first time a

Central Alberta team has ever won the Tier II Bantam Championship.

Justin said the game was, ‘unbelievable.’

“We knew these guys were going to be tough,” he said. “We needed to bring everything we had and that’s what we have been doing all season.”

Justin said the quality of football in Central Alberta has a lot to do with the quality of coaching.

“Guys are really excited to get out there and that has trickled down all the way to minor football,” he said.

Sports Foothills Falcons run up the score against HHS in provincial semi-final

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The Hunting Hills Lighting came into their provincial semi-final game with high aspirations of taking out the Foothills Falcons, who have been Tier II provincial champions for the previous two years.

The Lightning were unfortunately unable to reach their aspirations, falling to the Falcons 42-7.

“We could have gave Foothills a battle,” Lightning Coach Kyle Sedgwick said. “The score was not indicative. You are never going to win at this level when you have seven turnovers. You probably won’t win any football game against any team if you turn the ball over seven times.”

The first quarter didn’t go as planned as the Falcons found the endzone on their opening drive when slotback Tyson Hartle grabbed a pass from quarterback Tyson Pitcher. The Falcons would grab the early 8-0, due to an earlier safety in Lightning territory The Lightning would have a fortunate answer

after their punter recovered his own kick deep in Falcons territory. Lightning quarterback Brandon Rees would score on the ensuing possession, leading to 8-7 Falcon lead.

The second quarter would start off with another Hartle touchdown, leading to a 15-7 lead. The Falcons would add the first half lead when Payton Burbank found the endzone for the third Falcons score of the game.

“The first half we had some good drives, but they scored right at the end of the half. That score 15-7 is a whole lot different than 22-7 at this time of year. That was a bit of a killer for us,” Sedgwick said.

Things would get worse for the Lightning when Pitcher would run in a score of his own from the 1-yard line, leading to a big 29-7 lead for Foothills.

In the second quarter Keaton Neish caught an 18-yard pass, leading to burgeoning 36-7 lead.

“It starts turning into nerves after you keep turning the ball over. Everyone is trying to do too much and you get too wound up,” Sedgewick said.

PLAYOFF FOOTBALL - The Hunting Hills Lightning had a tough outing against the Foothills Falcons in the High School Provincial Semi-final.

RDC Kings ride a huge third quarter run to victory

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHAN todd.vaughan@reddeerexpress.com

The Red Deer College (RDC) Kings Basketball team used a stellar third quarter run to outwit the Lethbridge Kodiaks en route to a 97-90 win on their home court on Nov. 18th.

The Kings were looking for a better outing against Lethbridge, after dropping a game on Friday night to Ambrose University 106-87.

“I was happy to see us bounce back and play a little better game. This

team has a lot of pride and they were pretty embarrassed about the way things went down yesterday. They were excited for the opportunity to play again today and do a better job than they did,” RDC Coach Clayton Pottinger said.

The first quarter was a fairly even affair, played at break-neck speed. The Kings got up plenty of threes and 6’3 guard Dshawn Tyrell punished the rim with a one-handed throwdown, however it would be Lethbridge who went into the second quarter with a

21-19 lead.

The Kings would play a more aggressive second quarter, with the home team locked into a 3-2 press zone defence. Guard Omon Edobar would score on a magical Euro-step layup, but it would be the Kodiaks once again who would carry a twopoint lead into half-time.

Lethbridge would come out in the third quarter with a defensive switch to man-to-man coverage. This would be a costly choice, as RDC found a way to punish the Kodiaks by dominating

them in the paint and from outside.

“Usually when teams have switched defences on us, we have struggled to adjust and figure out what is going on. The guys picked it up relatively quick and we scored the first two times on it, which leads to the chess game of whether they will stay in it,” Pottinger said.

The Kings would stretch the lead to 65-47 at one point and Tyrell would add a monster tip-slam.

The Kodiaks finally managed to kill the run with three straight threes, but

the damage was already done at this point.

“That third quarter run was huge.

We made some shots, but most importantly we played our best defence during that stretch. That is what created the opportunities for us on the other end,” Pottinger said.

The Kings managed to maintain a ten-point lead throughout the fourth quarter and Tyrell would give the fans two more dunks to keep them entertained. The Kings finished the game at 97-90.

Take time to relax this holiday season Right now, I’m sitting in my office tired and lethargic.

Sleep has been elusive, and I think my mind is gearing up for a busy winter season as the holidays approach and drag all the busyness with them. I’m getting prepared for the hamster wheel to begin picking up speed and I had better make sure my running shoes are tied so that I have good traction while on that wheel!

It is also time for a good planning session for some self care, which is a term that I have been hearing tossed around lately.

Social media is informing us to ‘take care’, utilize ‘self care Sunday’ which are all good reminders, but they usually end up with a blog about taking bubble baths and drinking tea.

Neither of those things am I opposed to! There are several self care things we can do in and around our homes which make lazy days easier and will give us tools to manage the busy days as well.

It’s time to stock up – on household items and, possibly, stock! I try to make the most of my high energy and creative

days by making sure my freezer is full of make ahead meals, home made soup and fresh bone stock. When we have turkey or ham, or chicken or anything with bones I use the carcass to make bone broth which I freeze for later days. When the lazy days roll past I have an immediate starter for soup and supper and tasty broths to warm up with or to add to a recipe. It’s like others who bake cookies and freeze them for surprise company, it’s just darn handy to have those things in your life.

Stocking up the pantry is a good thing to do as well, useful items such as canned tomatoes, beans, fish and even back up olives and pickles make for easy last minute entertaining. If I have a can of water chestnuts and bacon on hand I can whip up an appetizer in five minutes that everyone loves and I never stress about surprise company.

If you keep a good supply of crackers, oysters and cheeses available you can easily grab a ‘snack’ supper and relax in front of a movie on occasion having your favourite snack

Kim Wyse

tray.

Your rest is vital during these dark months so please be good to your body. Yes bubble baths and calming teas are excellent, but make sure support and comfort welcome you after your relaxing bath.

Invest in good pillows, there isn’t anything that will rob you of a nights sleep like a lumpy or flat pillow! Choose warm, soft sheets and change your bed often using calming fragrances and essential oils to help you sleep. Rub a few drops of lav-

ender on your high-quality pillows and lay back and breath in the aroma as you drift.

If your pantry is stocked, your bed is ready to welcome you and you have a good supply of bubble bath and tea then you are well on your way to

tackling the busy weeks ahead.

Don’t hesitate to take it easy when you have a spare second and be sure to be very good to yourself in those moments.

Take time out when you need it and give yourself permission to take care of you.

Mortgage rules which have not changed, very much The news we mortgage professionals have been talking relentlessly about is all the changes to the mortgage rules.

It has been one after another and it is no wonder that the average Canadian is feeling a bit bewildered by the whole thing. Instead of talking about what has changed I thought we should spend a week on what hasn’t.

1. You can still purchase a home with 5% down.

Let’s take a closer look at this as there seems to be a lot of ‘but my cousin Bob said’ around this topic.

• You may buy home after home with as little as 5% down as long as you are willing to pay the mortgage default insurance each time

Pam Pikkert

and qualify.

• If the home is worth more than $500,000 then you need 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on anything over up to $1,000,000 where the rules change.

• If you are in the midst of a separation you can refinance the home up to 95% of its value to payout your ex and possible any debts.

• A second home can be purchased for family with 5% down.

• A vacation home can be purchased with 5% down.

• If you turn your current home into a rental, you can still purchase the next home with 5% down.

• CMHC will only insure 1 property for you but there are 2 other insurers.

2. You can still use borrowed funds for the down payment.

• Only certain lenders allow this.

• You must have a very strong credit and employment history • The money can be borrowed from a credit card, loan, line of credit and must be included in your overall debt servicing 3. You can still take up to 35 years amortization if you have more than 20% down 4. You can still take up to 25 years if you have less than 20% down.

5. You can still refinance your home to payout debts, renovate your home or invest.

• There will be the cost of an appraisal and legal fees and potentially a penalty to break the first mortgage • You will have to go through the mortgage process and provide all relevant documentation.

• Rates for conventional mortgages are higher now so factor that into the overall costs.

6. You can still get up to $40,000 or 10% extra with the mortgage at the time of purchase for

substantial improvements to the new home.

• The quotes must be submitted at the time of application for review.

• The money is not released until after an inspector has confirmed ALL the work is complete.

• You must have the down payment on the whole amount.

7. You can still use RRSP’s (without penalty for your first home), get a gift, TFSA’s, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, tax refunds, savings or sell an asset for the down payment When you are looking online to see how much you will qualify for, remember to use a rate of 4.99% no matter how much you have to put down on the home. That is one thing which did change across the board and we would hate to see you fall for a home outside your budget. There have indeed been a whole bunch of changes but home ownership is still possible. Have a great week.
