BY MARK WEBERLacombe Express

Playwright/author Andrew

Kooman is excited to see

one of his latest plays, That

Towering Cross, making its debut

in Red Deer shortly before Easter.

Under the direction of Annette

Bradley and Laura Geelen, That

Towering Cross will be presented

March 26th-28th at the Memorial

Centre in Red Deer. The produc-

tion also features music by Kim-

berly Messer. Curtain is 7 p.m.

with a 2:30 p.m. show slated for

March 28th as well.

The play will also serve as a

fundraising event for the Central

Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre’s

special housing project.

The plot focuses on Anna who

returns to the church she grew

up for its annual Easter produc-

tion after a 10-year absence.

“She comes to the Easter

production, and in a way, she’s

embarrassed too because she’s

expecting this campy musical,”

explained Kooman. “Ultimately,

she wanted to be touched by the

story but wasn’t.” When she

meets Joshua after the perfor-

mance, her view of the cross as

a tired, old symbol is challenged

not only by his invitation to imag-

ine it differently, but her need for

it to be something more.

“So really what Anna does is

she takes the music and kind of

re-imagines it and has this inter-

esting experience. She not only

wants the power of the story to be

real, but she needs it to be real.”

And the plot unfolds from there.

“To me, the Easter story is the

greatest story ever told but I fi nd

some become so familiar with

these great stories ,” he said, add-

ing he wanted to write a contem-

porary piece that shines a fresh,

new light on the telling of the

story as well.

Kooman is originally from Red

Deer, but now divides his time be-

tween here and London, Ontario

where he lives with his wife, Pe-

tra. The couple married last sum-

mer.

He had written a series of

monologues for a fundraising

gala on behalf of the Central Al-

berta Pregnancy Care Centre last

year, and they proved so success-

ful the organization approached

him about penning a play for an

Easter production/fundraiser

this year.

“It was another chance to col-

laborate with them, and I really

respect their outlook because

they are doing something really

unique and creative by bringing

people together in the communi-

ty to have an event while leverag-

ing it as a fundraiser to support

their cause,” he said. Kooman

took a collection of musical piec-

es and created an original drama

that essentially is woven together

with the music.

“The music is from a number

of different artists, but Kimber-

ly Messer compiled it,” he said.

“The choir will also be kind of a

character within the show – so

there are really moving, dynamic

pieces and the choir is involved –

they are almost like the set. And

there are also the six actors who

take on the roles and tell the sto-

ry, too.

“What’s amazing is now there

are 60 voices in the choir, there

are six actors and there are more

than 23 churches coming togeth-

er as the choir. So it’s an incred-

ible community story – I think it’s

pretty exciting to see all these dif-

ferent people coming together to

put on the show.

“I would say for anyone who

says they’ve heard the Easter sto-

ry before – and feel ‘been there,

done that’ – I think there is some-

thing really fresh and unique

about (this production). For au-

diences, I think it’s going be a re-

ally great experience, especially

for people who really like music.

I know for a lot of people at Eas-

ter, they want to connect with

the meaning of the season – and

this will be a great way to connect

with that story in a fresh way.”

Anne Waddell, executive direc-

tor of the Pregnancy Care Centre,

said Kooman’s prolifi c creativity

is part of why the Centre pursued

a collaboration.

“He did a lot of research on

the monologues (last year) in

understanding our clients from

the male perspective, the female

perspective and also from the

post-abortive perspective,” she

explained. “He gets it, and he

does it in a very compassionate

and graceful way. He’s a very cre-

ative person, so when I thought

of doing a musical I thought of

him and Annette Bradley – I’ve

known Annette for more than 20

years and she’s done a lot of work

in the community also.”

A play about Christ’s resurrec-

tion, and the meanings surround-

ing that which includes redemp-

tion and forgiveness, seemed like

ideal material to build a fundrais-

ing production on, she said, add-

ing the funds raised will go to

support the Centre’s Single Preg-

nant Women Housing Project.

“It’s really become a community

production.”

As to the project, the goal is

to establish a, “Transformative

housing program to remove bar-

riers for women to carry to term

by creating a safe and healthy en-

vironment; equipping them with

life and parenting skills.”

For 26 years, the Central Al-

berta Pregnancy Care Centre has

offered support and education

to individuals and families im-

pacted by unplanned pregnancy.

According to their web site, they

provide education, counselling

and practical assistance.

Programs and services include

prenatal education, parenting

programs, adoption support,

male mentorship and programs

to learn about healthy relation-

ships.

Phase one of the Single Preg-

nant Women Housing Project in-

cludes second fl oor renovations

of an existing building which will

convert a 2,000 sq. ft. offi ce space

into a home-like space consist-

ing of four bedrooms, a common

kitchen area with a dining/teach-

ing area and a small living/offi ce

space for one staff. A grand open-

ing is planned for this fall.

Meanwhile, Kooman has

brought many projects to the

public over the past years, includ-

ing his hugely successful play She

Has A Name which landed tre-

mendous acclaim and was exten-

sively toured in 2012. Currently,

the play is in pre-production for

a feature fi lm. The play, which is

about the battle against human

traffi cking, provides poignant in-

sight into the issue in South East

Asia.

Meanwhile, he’s also gearing

up for the debut of another play

entitled We Are The Body, which

opens May 5th in Red Deer with

additional shows in Calgary and

Saskatoon.

We Are The Body follows the

stories of three prisoners of con-

science who are in solitary con-

fi nement. They have no contact

with the outside world, and don’t

know if they will get out alive.

“It asks some big questions

about faith and survival,” he

said. “To me it was so fascinating

to imagine people who stand up

for what they believe even if they

suffer. And how they still choose

to believe. I think it will appeal to

a lot of people, and I also think

it’s very relevant to today.”

As for opening his plays in Red

Deer, Kooman said it’s a natural

choice.

“I’m so proud to be from here

and I’ve been so blessed by audi-

ences here who honestly engage

with my material.”

There is no charge for tickets

for That Towering Cross, but they

still must be picked up to ensure

seating is available for each per-

formance. They are available at

53rd Street Music, Scotts Parable

Christian Store, by visiting www.

pregnancycare.ca or calling the

Central Alberta Pregnancy Care

Centre at 403-343-1611.

A free-will offering will be col-

lected.

Play to benefi t Central Alberta Pregnancy Care CentreAcclaimed author/playwright Andrew Kooman pens powerful script


BY SARAH MAETCHELacombe Express

The future for the City of Lacombe is

full of growth and opportunity according

to Mayor Steve Christie.

Christie provided the 2015 State of the

City address to a group of dignitaries,

business owners and community members

at the Lacombe Memorial Centre on last

week. He began by reaffi rming City coun-

cil’s vision, “To help build a safe, vibrant

and inclusive community that welcomes

everyone to live, work and play.”

The City’s population increased by 1,021

people since the last census and experi-

enced many highlights throughout the

year, including the initiation of a residen-

tial blue box program, the opening of the

spray park and the impact BOLT Transit

has made in the community.

“One of our key initiatives identifi ed

in our 2014-2017 strategic plan was to de-

velop a regional transit system,” he said.

“We worked collaboratively with the Town

of Blackfalds and the City of Red Deer to

successfully launch BOLT Transit. This

regional transit service now runs within

our three communities and provides af-

fordable, accessible, quality of life benefi ts

to all those who use it.”

Upgrades were completed along Maple

Drive, improving traffi c fl ows and safety

for those on foot. The City also hosted two

major curling events over the past year.

“The success of the men’s and women’s

provincial curling championships give

evidence to what we as a community can

accomplish when we all work together,”

said Christie. “Looking forward we can

expect a busy and productive year, as we

start working on planning initiatives and

a number of capital projects get started.”

With the 2015 budget approved in De-

cember, Christie indicated several capital

projects will be undertaken. “The new cap-

ital projects refl ect a number of priorities

which include the intersection upgrades at

63rd Street and Highway 12, a roundabout

at College Avenue and C&E Trail, a City

wide paving and sidewalk replacement

program, the development of an affordable

housing strategy, the next phases of trail

development and the annual fl eet replace-

ment program,” he said.

The renovations of Barnett Arena and

the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre also continue

to move forward, along with the develop-

ment of a new commercial shopping cen-

tre to be called Lacombe Market Square.

“This exciting new development will at-

tract new businesses, visitors, encourage

economic growth and increase business

and employment opportunities for resi-

dents right here in Lacombe.”

An area near the industrial park has

also been identifi ed for the off-leash dog

park. The new Lacombe Police Services

building is also nearing design completion

with construction to begin in the spring.

Christie noted the photo radar program

does have benefi ts for residents, over and

above traffi c enforcement. “There has

been a 26 per cent drop in collisions in 2014,

compared to 2013.”

The Fairview Cemetery expansion will

begin this year and the Michener Park ball

diamonds will be ready in 2016.

“Even with the economic downturn,

people from across the country, around

the world continue to fl ock to our prov-

ince in search of a better life for their

families,” said Christie. “And those to deal

with the increased pressures on our civic

infrastructure have developed Imagine La-

combe — it’s our municipal sustainability

plan with input from over 1,200 residents.”

The plan will help provide guidance for

future development, policies and decisions

for the City.

As a ‘vital cultural hub’ Lacombe also

plays host to fi ve major festivals including

Music in the Park and Lacombe Days. “As

you all know, we live in a beautiful City,

recognized nation-wide for our historic

buildings, our heritage homes and our mu-

rals,” said Christie. “We can all be proud of

these and all our other accomplishments

that we have made in the last couple years.

“And as we move forward, we must con-

tinue to work together to meet new chal-

lenges, new opportunities with creativity

and enthusiasm.”

Growth and opportunity projected for Lacombe

BY ERIN FAWCETTLacombe Express

The family of a 68-year-

old Central Alberta woman

who has been missing for

nearly two weeks contin-

ues to hold out hope that

she will be found.

Roze Burk was reported

missing from a Red Deer

County address on March

13th and was last seen by

a family friend at the Deer

Park Co-op in Red Deer at

8 p.m. on March 12th. Burk

is described as a Caucasian

female, about 5’6” tall and

119 lbs. She has blue eyes

(usually wears eye glasses)

and white hair.

She was last seen wear-

ing jeans, a pink shirt and

a long-sleeved, grey jacket.

She is believed to be driv-

ing a 2008 Grey Ford Es-

cape with Alberta license

plate GCA 091. She is also

believed to be travelling

with her pet, a West High-

land Terrier, named Jewel.

Jewel has shaggy white

hair.

“We’re trying to stay to-

gether as a team and work

together to get her found.

We’re each dealing with it

in our own way but we are

holding onto the hope that

we have and just waiting,”

said Tamara Burk, Roze’s

daughter-in-law.

Since Roze’s disap-

pearance the family has

spearheaded two different

searches and have covered

areas north to Maskwa-

cis (formerly known as

Hobbema), east as far as

Gadsby, south as far as

Big Valley and west out to

Rocky Mountain House.

Air searches have also

been conducted by Search

and Rescue. “Both of the

searches we have done we

have had a lot of people

come out and help,” said

Tamara. “People have been

helping from all over Al-

berta.”

Police have also indicat-

ed Roze may have gone to

Manitoba as she has family

there, but Tamara said she

believes that is unlikely as

there has been no activity

on Roze’s bank accounts.

“As far as I’m aware they

(police) have to say that be-

cause she has family there.

But all of the tips that we

have been getting have

been from Alberta. We

have received various tips

but they’re from all over.

People can’t guarantee it

was her or her vehicle.”

This past weekend a

second search was held by

the family. Tamara said on

Monday no other searches

are planned. “We have de-

cided to hold off on another

search until we get a reli-

able tip because we have

done pretty well all of Cen-

tral Alberta. We are more

than willing to do another

search once we fi nd a direc-

tion.”

Last week, Blackfalds

RCMP renewed their re-

quest for assistance in

locating Roze. “We, along

with Roze’s family and

friends, are very concerned

for Roze’s safety,” said

Staff Sgt. Ken Morrison,

Blackfalds RCMP Detach-

ment Commander. “The

public can be our best re-

source when it comes to

locating missing people. In

this case, Roze really needs

all of our help so we can

fi nd her and get her home

safely.”

Though not diagnosed

medically, Roze may pos-

sibly be suffering from de-

mentia-related symptoms.

“She was never diagnosed

– I was in the midst of fi nd-

ing her a new family doctor

after the one she had re-

tired. But she would forget

where she parked in park-

ing lots, she would get days

mixed up – she was getting

forgetful,” said Tamara,

adding those symptoms

had been progressing for

about two years. Anyone

with information is asked

to call Blackfalds RCMP at

403-885-3300 or their local

police. Visit ‘Missing – Roze

Burk’ on facebook.

The City of Lacombe will soon be the

home of a microbrewery.

Now, after clearing several hurdles,

Blindman Brewing will be setting up shop

in an industrial area of Lacombe.

City councillors approved fi nal reading

to amend a bylaw to consider allowing mi-

crobreweries the ability to host ancillary

activities, like retail sales and liquor con-

sumption, in light industrial and heavy in-

dustrial districts of the City at their regu-

lar council meeting on March 23rd.

A microbrewery is a facility where

beverages of a low alcoholic content are

produced and packaged. The facility may

include distribution, retail or wholesale

on or off the premises, and in the case of

Blindman Brewing, the applicants for the

Lacombe facility, a tasting room where

people can sample the locally-produced

beer.

The building Blindman Brewing is con-

sidering boasts 4,000 sq. ft. which they plan

to devote 75% of the space to manufactur-

ing. The remainder of space will be set

aside for ancillary retail and hospitality

uses like off-sale liquor, selling merchan-

dise, liquor tasting and a small tap room

where sales of pints would be offered to

patrons during business hours.

“This is vital to the success of our busi-

ness,” said Blindman Brewing co-owner

Hans Doef of the ancillary uses. The ap-

plicants had received approval from the

City for an amendment to a bylaw to allow

microbreweries as a discretionary use in

commercial districts of the City in Febru-

ary. The company wished to set up shop in

an industrial area (zoned I1 or I2) to suit

their needs, so they had to reapply before

council to receive approval.

Chambers were again packed and two

citizens spoke in support of the application

during the hearing. Director of Planning

and Operations Matthew Goudy said in a

perfect world, a commercial zone would be

the fi t for such a business, but Lacombe did

not have such a space to offer. As such, ad-

ministration could not support the bylaw

but offered a second option for council —

amend the existing regulations to consider

the ancillary uses but limit the overall

fl oor space for retail uses.

After the hearing concluded, council

debated the application and considered

the options. “We want people to know that

we are open for business,” said Councillor

Wayne Rempel, who was in favour of the

application. “We want to do whatever we

can to encourage people.”

Councillor Peter Bouwsema was also in

support of the bylaw, with the second op-

tion proposed to council. “Even though we

are changing some of the uses, if they are

considered to be auxiliary to the main use

of the microbrewery, then I would be in

support of that,” he said.

Councillor Wayne Armishaw stated

he was in support of the bylaw with the

amendment, as the business had found as

good of a location in the I2 district that was

available that suited their needs.

Councillors Reuben Konnik and Grant

Harder were also in support of the amend-

ment. Council granted second and third

reading of the bylaw, permitting the use of

ancillary uses by a microbrewery, but with

a limitation on fl oor space to 500 sq. ft.

The application must also be approved

by the Municipal Planning Commission.

Council approves microbrewery in industrial district


As residents wander through

Lacombe, they will fi nd the City

is home to many historic homes,

buildings and places. Unique to

each building is a door, some-

times historic or signifi cant in

itself, which often showcases the

character and age of the historic

home or place.

The Doors of Lacombe project

is looking to catalogue these in-

teresting or unique doors located

within the City. Through the new

project, a poster will be created

featuring a collection of photos

of doors from buildings within

the community.

The Lacombe Heritage Com-

mittee is inviting property own-

ers and others to submit photos

of their doors for possible inclu-

sion in the artistic and historic

project.

Jennifer Kirchner, City of La-

combe planner and organizer

of the project, said the group is

seeking out submissions of all

rare doorways. “It could be some-

thing interesting, unique, with

details or colouring — something

that stands out within the com-

munity.”

All doors in the area are eligi-

ble, even those that are not neces-

sarily historic but may be eclectic

or have some type of creative or

iconic feature, something that

‘pops’.

“We are looking for anyone out

there to put their hand up and

say, ‘My door is interesting’,” said

Kirchner. “They could have a hid-

den gem.”

Suggestions can also be sub-

mitted by citizens, if they see a

door in their neighbourhood that

is creative and they think should

be included in the project.

“They can give us an idea and

see what’s out there.”

She said one of the committee

members came up with the idea

after seeing something similar

implemented, like a door poster,

in other cities throughout North

America and Europe.

A similar concept called The

Doors Open continues to spread

across North America, where

residents and visitors of a cer-

tain city have the opportunity to

explore the rich legacy of built,

cultural and natural heritage.

Once the Lacombe Heritage

Committee receives enough

submissions, they will choose

around nine doors to feature on

the poster. A professional photog-

Be safe and buckle up

Sometimes something so seem-

ingly simple can save lives. Some-

thing as simple as taking those few

seconds it takes to put on your seat-

belt, also known as an occupant

restraint, before you leave your

driveway.

It seems like a no brainer, but

there are still many out there

who risk their own safety and do

not regularly wear their seatbelts

when riding in a vehicle.

This month is marked as Oc-

cupant Restraint Month, a time

to emphasize the use of seatbelts

for adults and children while they

travel in vehicles.

“While Albertans have signifi -

cantly increased their seatbelt use

in the past 15 years, almost fi ve per

cent of Albertans still do not wear

them regularly,” stated Minister

of Transportation Wayne Drys-

dale. “Simply put, seatbelts save

lives and we all need to wear them

to make sure everyone gets home

safely at the end of each day.”

According to a study by Alberta

Transportation, from 2008 to 2013,

there were 383 unbelted fatalities

in the province. Twenty per cent

of those fatalities involved 18 to

24-year-old men.

Using a seatbelt can improve

your chance of surviving a vehicle

collision from 45% to 65%, depend-

ing on the type of vehicle and ex-

actly where you are sitting.

“The statistics speak for them-

selves, close to 95 per cent of the

motoring public use occupant re-

straints yet almost a third of all ve-

hicle fatalities in the province were

as a result of occupants who chose

not to buckle up,” said Deputy Di-

rector of Alberta Sheriffs Traffi c

Operations Rick Gardner. “To dra-

matically increase your chances of

surviving injury or worse in a col-

lision, please wear your seatbelt.”

There also appears to be a lack

of awareness among parents and

those who care for children of the

critical role a booster seat plays in

keeping little ones safe while trav-

eling in a vehicle. A recent study

completed by Parachute indicates

that three-quarters of Canadian

parents with children age four to

nine do not use booster seats.

The study states that 42% believe

that their child was too big for a

booster seat, 23% thought that their

child didn’t need a booster seat to

be safe and 19% thought their child

was too old for a booster seat.

Booster seats remain the saf-

est choice for children who have

out grown their toddler seat (over

40lbs). The Alberta government

recommends for children under

nine-years-old, that a booster seat

be used until a weight of 80lbs or a

height of 145 cm is reached.

It’s never to late to start a new

habit, especially a habit that can de-

termine the difference between life

and death. Be safe and buckle up.

Certain Canadian com-

mentators are advanc-

ing a strange critique of

public health, suggesting

that physicians and public

health experts, charged

with caring for the health

of Canadians, should not

concern themselves with

the root causes of illness

and stick to a narrow range

of health interventions.

Fortunately, Canadian

health experts have a

broader and more com-

plete understanding of

how and why people get

sick. They aren’t satis-

fi ed with simply pulling

drowning kids out of the

river; though this is obvi-

ously important, they also

look upstream to ask why

kids are falling in the river

in the fi rst place.

Decades of studies have

shown conclusively that in-

come and its distribution,

education, employment,

housing, food security and

the wider environment

have far greater impact

on health outcomes than

healthcare.

These upstream factors

touch on all aspects of

public policy. Our health

is determined by political

choices. If we want the best

for Canadians, shouldn’t

our political choices be de-

termined by health?

There is a growing inter-

national movement, sup-

ported by the World Health

Organization, toward

“Health in all Policies,”

an approach that has been

adopted by governments

around the world. Here in

Canada, Quebec has such a

policy, and Newfoundland

and Labrador is currently

exploring this model.

The notion facing the

greatest scrutiny is one

that has been expressed

most clearly in the Brit-

ish Medical Journal: “The

more equally wealth is

distributed, the better the

health of that society.”

There are three key ways

in which wealth inequality

can lead to worse health

outcomes:

Most obvious, poverty. In

a less equal society, more

people live in relative dis-

advantage, and are less

able to afford safe housing

and nutritious food or to

access educational and eco-

nomic opportunities. Their

health suffers as a result,

with people living in pov-

erty often having life ex-

pectancies 20 or more years

shorter than wealthier citi-

zens. That can manifest in

rates of diabetes, heart dis-

ease, STIs, infant and over-

all mortality many times

greater than the rest of the

city.

All people in less equal

countries – except for the

very wealthiest members

of a society –suffer from

worse physical and mental

health even if they are at

or near the top of the so-

cioeconomic scale, whether

from higher levels of crime,

greater strain on the social

safety net, or even higher

levels of stress.

New evidence also sug-

gests that it’s not only the

people in unequal coun-

tries who are sicker; it’s

their markets as well. The

OECD reported in 2014 that

income inequality is at its

highest level in 30 years,

with economic growth

slowed by as much as 10%

in some countries as a re-

sult. An IMF study from

the same year showed that

redistributive policies can

improve economic perfor-

mance in the long term.

Many experts, including

economists at TD bank, are

consequently calling for ac-

tion on income inequality.

Greater levels of inequality

damage the economy, wors-

ening the material condi-

tions of all who participate

in the economy, and with

them their health and well-

being. Given that inequal-

ity has grown signifi cantly

in Canada, with the richest

20% now holding 67.4% of

wealth in this country, this

is an issue of great con-

cern.

This understanding of

the connection between

inequality and health is

growing among the general

public. A series of town

halls hosted by the Cana-

dian Medical Association

on the health of Canadi-

ans resulted in a report

titled ‘What Makes Us Sick’, showing that Canadians

recognize the infl uence of

income, housing and edu-

cation on their health.

With Canadians increas-

ingly waking up to the need

for an upstream approach

to health and politics, those

who actively oppose social

investment and greater

equality are sure to take

aim at the notion of health

as a guiding principle in

public policy.

This is beyond unfor-

tunate, as addressing the

upstream determinants of

health can both improve

the economy and the ability

of that economy to provide

for the wellbeing of Ca-

nadians. That’s a hopeful

and compelling idea, and,

to some, a dangerous one.

The fact that it’s receiving

so much press attention

suggests it’s an idea whose

time has come.

The City of Lacombe is once

again accepting applications to

the Downtown Storefront En-

hancement Program to liven up

the downtown core.

“The idea is actually present in

a number of other communities

that are trying to revitalize their

downtown. The hope is that the

municipalities can offer a little

bit of an incentive to encourage

people to brighten up their store-

fronts,” said Guy Lapointe, com-

munity economic development

manager for the City of Lacombe.

The total amount of money re-

served for the program is $4,000.

Applicants are eligible for a 20%

subsidy of their total renovation

costs, up to $2,000. Lapointe said

that so far, only one application

has been brought forward but he

hopes to see the program fl ourish

this year.

“Last year, we didn’t spend all

the money. We had enough proj-

ects committed that would have

used the money, but a couple

pulled out last minute. It was

kind of rushed last year but we’re

trying to do it in advance this

year and give people some time to

be better prepared,” he said.

“At the moment, we have the

application deadline of March

31st. Of course, if we don’t have

enough applications at that point,

we will leave the program open

and do it on a fi rst-come, fi rst-

serve basis.”

Last year most of the funds

were allocated to businesses that

were doing signage improve-

ments. Eligible improvements

include lighting, exterior walls,

windows, doors, paint, signage,

awnings and canopies, landscap-

ing and entranceways. Along with

these options, there are a variety

of other improvements that would

qualify under the program.

Applications are to be sent

to Lapointe and then will be re-

viewed by a third party in April.

Only stores in the Old Town Main

Street District are eligible for

funding. Those who applied for

the program or utilized funds last

year may re-apply if they have

a secondary project. For people

who are interested in applying

for a loan through Community

Futures East Parkland should

indicate this on the Downtown

Storefront Enhancement Pro-

gram application.

“The one thing that we heard

from feedback last year was peo-

ple who didn’t own their building

were concerned about why they

would want to take part in this.

You can do an improvement to

your building with the permission

of your landlord. It doesn’t have to

be extensive,” Lapointe said.

“We did a lot of signage projects

last year where we took the more

historic signage and re-did those.

You don’t have to be an owner

of the building to be involved in

the program. It might be things

like painting - maybe you have

a vision that differs from your

landlord and if you can get per-

mission, we just need to see that

as part of the application process

and then you can go ahead and do

that if you’d like. Really, the sky

is the limit for this.”

Specifi c guidelines on the ap-

plication process, as well as

additional information on the

program are available on the La-

combe City web site, under the

‘Doing Business – Community

Economic Development’ tab.

The university is named after Charles A.

and Leona Burman, the husband and wife

team who founded the institution in 1907.

Charles served as the fi rst and third pres-

ident (principal) of the school that would

be known as CUC. Leona taught English,

science, language, geography, physiology,

and acted as school nurse.

Both Charles and Leona devoted their

lives to the work of the Seventh-day Ad-

ventist Church. The name Burman Univer-

sity was chosen after an intensive process

of focus groups. Faculty, staff, students,

alumni, friends and citizens of Lacombe

joined the process, suggesting more than

100 possible names. A consultant was re-

tained and facilitated focus groups in three

regions of Canada.

Email submissions were also taken into

consideration. After carefully considering

the scores of names that were suggested,

Burman University was proposed to the

board of trustees on Dec. 15th in a special

phone conference meeting where they vot-

ed to go ahead with the change.

CUC will continue as Canadian Univer-

sity College for the remainder of the 2014-

2015 academic calendar year.

Full implementation of the new name

will take place May 1st. For up-to-date-

scheduling of the launch week events, visit

BDO HELPS YOU TACKLE TAX SEASON

BY JEFFREY HEYDEN-KAYEcourtesy of Ponoka News

The tragic death of Tom Hamilton in an

avalanche has reverberated through the

community of Ponoka.

Hamilton, 29, was snowmobiling with

three friends in McBride, B.C. March 21st

when the snow started to break apart from

right beneath him. He and another friend,

Curtis Fries from Sherwood Park, were

unable to escape the avalanche in time and

they were buried.

“As he was turning around, the ava-

lanche let loose underneath Tom,” ex-

plained his father Jim Hamilton. “The

whole plateau let loose.”

He said the other two snowmobilers

were able to locate Fries’ emergency bea-

con. They were able to dig him out but he

succumbed to his injuries. The four riders

had proper safety equipment.

Search and rescue crews searched for

Tom’s body, but they had to call off the

search as the evening wore on. He was

found the next day approximately 15m un-

der where Fries was found. Hamilton said

their emergency beacons were right on top

of each other, which made it diffi cult to lo-

cate Tom’s body. “That we get to bring him

home and give him a proper burial is huge

to me and to his wife,” said Hamilton. “Un-

til he’s found, you’re praying he’s alive.

You know it’s not likely.”

Tom leaves behind a young family with

his wife Amanda and two young children,

Kaitlyn and James.

As his children will never know what

their father was like, Amanda has request-

ed people who knew Tom write a story

about him and his life. As they grow older,

she hopes to pass on these stories to her

children.

Tom’s death has also created a void in

Jim’s life; not only was he his son, but Tom

and Jim were partners at Hamilton’s IGA.

“I’m scared,” said Jim simply. “I don’t

know how I can do it without him.”

He has received hundreds of emails and

calls from the many people who knew Tom

and each one has been about the lasting

memory he had on them.

Tom could be found in many parts of Po-

noka. While he was a fi xture at the store,

he was also a big advocate of community

events. He was past-president of the Pono-

ka Kinsmen and was always busy during

Ponoka Stampede.

Tom’s good nature and work ethic is an-

other thing Jim is proud of.

He told the story of Tom working at a

plant picking lettuce some years ago. Tom

had to take on extra work to cover a sick

employee and in an effort to be effi cient,

Tom managed to do the work of two people.

That work ethic got other staff members

in trouble and he was told to reduce the

workfl ow.

“So he got his back up and the next day

he bribed the kid beside him to move down

one and he did three rows to prove a point.

And he got fi red,” explained Jim fondly.

It was this kind of work ethic that Jim

loved about his son, who was on his way to

being a fourth generation owner of Ham-

ilton’s IGA. Jim said most families don’t

make it past three generations. “We found

a way to make it work,” he said.

Tom was getting so good at the job that

when Jim was dealing with an injury last

year, his son handled it well. “We actually

made more money with my leg when I was

at home than I did when I was there.”

Jim said they were in the midst of plan-

ning a surprise birthday party for Tom,

who was going to turn 30 on April 30th.

There were no details at the production

time on a funeral date.

In the meantime, Ponoka Kinsmen,

where Tom served as president between

2011 and 2013, has announced that a deci-

sion was made to dedicate the toboggan

hill, which the deceased was so instrumen-

tal in creating, to his memory.

“Any donations can be made to the Tom

Hamilton Memorial Hill through the Pono-

ka Kinsmen,” said the press release issued

by the organization.

TRAGEDY - The death of Ponoka’s Tom Hamilton has shocked many people who knew him. Here is a Christmas photo of Tom with his wife Amanda and two children, James (left) and Kaitlyn.

Reminders

RV/trailer parking in Lacombe With warm weather and camping season fast approaching,

Enforcement Services would like to remind residents that

construction, recreational and utility trailers not attached to

vehicles cannot be left on any street at anytime.

As per City of Lacombe Bylaw 223, a trailer that is attached to a

vehicle can be parked on the street for a maximum of 72 hours

before it has to be moved. Attached trailers must be parked

legally while on the street, and must not cause safety or traffi c

concerns.

A trailer may be parked on private property as long as it is

completely within the owner’s property, and does not protrude

onto a sidewalk or street/alley. Trailers parked on private property

must not cause traffi c or sightline concerns.

Public Notice

Occupant Restraint MonthDid you know that from 2008 to 2013, there were 383 unbelted

fatalities in Alberta, and about 20 per cent of those fatalities

involved 18- to 24-year old men? Seatbelts can improve the

chances of surviving a collision from 45 to 65 per cent, depending

on the type of vehicle and seating position.

Alberta Transportation and the Lacombe Traffi c Safety Committee

are emphasizing the use of occupant restraints for adults and

children while travelling in vehicles. Make sure to click it every time,

all the time! For more information, go to www.saveafriend.ca.

City Council has approved the purchase of a SuperNet fi bre optic

network at a cost of $117,969.00 for the new Lacombe Police Service

(LPS) facility.

“There is a real need to keep our municipal police force up to speed

with new technologies in order to make Lacombe one of the safest

places to live in our province,” said Mayor Steve Christie. “Council is

also being proactive in facilitating a smooth construction process for

the new police facility by approving this service in a timely manner.”

The SuperNet is a fi bre optic network that connects public

institutions across the province – schools, hospitals, colleges,

universities, libraries, and municipal offi ces – to a broadband network

for high-speed Internet access, video conferencing, and other

services.

It is part of a closed system, which only allows local and provincial

government offi ces to interconnect within its network as well as

providing specifi c connections for Internet Service Providers. There is

no other service like this available in Alberta. Security, performance

and reliability are key features as to why police services all across

Alberta utilize this infrastructure.

LPS uses the SuperNet at its current location to access databases

and programs that allow them to share information, process criminal

complaints and create court documents. These programs are

integral resources for policing services. Alternatives for other services

to replace the SuperNet infrastructure are not readily available or

would require a complete overhaul of the policing process for our

municipal service.

brilliant use of colour draw the observer into her painted world.

To keep this annual event fresh and vibrant, we’re welcoming

14 new artists to the show! Friday night is Date Night, with live

Blues, Jazz & R&B music. Enjoy fabulous hot and cold

appetizers, along with fi ne wines and beers as you browse the

Burman University will be hosting a

benefi t run this coming Sunday. The funds

raised through the run around Barnett

Lake will go towards assisting Lacombe

resident Leah Cobetto.

Last September, 22-year-old Cobetto was

walking home in downtown Lacombe and

was struck by an impaired driver, which

resulted in the amputation of her lower

right leg. “The funds raised through the

race will go towards buying her a more ef-

fi cient prosthetic leg than she currently

has,” said co-organizer Ron Schafer.

The event also coincides with the Bur-

man University Launch Week, where the

former Canadian University College will

offi cially unveil their new name.

Schafer said a run around Barnett

Lake has been a traditional event ran by

the school dating back over 50 years. The

group wanted to revive the tradition just in

time for the launch week, but with a com-

munity focus.

“The weather may put a kink in it, but

we plan to move forward,” he said. “We are

hoping to get a good crowd out for a good

cause.”

Organizers plan for the event to go rain,

snow or shine and are hoping all of the

snow is gone from the trails to make the

event a success. The race will be run on

rough trails around the lake, with only a

small portion on paved road.

Runners can choose from three distanc-

es - a 4 km trip around the lake for runners

or walkers, an 11 km course or a three-per-

son relay. “In the three-person relay, each

person will run one lap each,” said Schafer.

The race will begin and fi nish at the Bur-

man University campus, in the fi eld below

the gym near Casey’s Cabin. Refreshments

and a closing ceremony will be held at 3

p.m. Registered runners will also gain free

admission to Gwen Bader Fitness Centre

and Pool for the remainder of the day.

Registration is $30 per adult or $15 for a

youth or senior. Runners can register in

teams for the relay online. Each run has a

capacity for 200 runners except the relay,

which has a registration of 300. The Bur-

man University Benefi t Run on March 29th

will start at 1 p.m. with race times for the 4

km run/walk at 1:10 p.m., 11 km run start-

ing at 1 p.m. and 4 km relay also at 1 p.m.

Runners can pre-register online via

Running Room or register the day of the

event 30 minutes prior to the start.

Contact Klaus Irrgang at kirrgang@

cauc.ca or at 403-782-3381 ext. 4048 or con-

tact Schafer at 403-391-6909.

Lacombe Ford is among

an elite group of Ford and

Lincoln dealerships to be

recognized with the 2014

President’s Award by the

Ford Motor Company of

Canada, Limited.

The President’s Award,

Ford Canada’s highest

dealership honour, is pre-

sented annually to those

dealerships, which demon-

strate outstanding achieve-

ment in sales and customer

satisfaction.

This year, for the second

year in a row, Lacombe

Ford received ‘Diamond

Club’ recognition, which

recognizes the very best of

the elite group of winning

dealerships.

For 2014, Ford of Canada

is recognizing Ford and

Lincoln dealers across the

country for providing a

superior customer experi-

ence in sales, service and

overall dealership experi-

ence.

“Earning the President’s

Award signifi es our en-

tire staff’s dedication to

deliver superior customer

satisfaction day in and day

out,” said Lacombe Ford

principal, Darren Gagnon.

“I couldn’t be more proud

to receive this recognition,

especially since it comes

from the people we value

the most — our customers.

They’re the reason we are

able to accept this award.”

Ford of Canada intro-

duced the President’s

Award in 2000. Dealers

become eligible through

excellence in dealership

operations and exceptional

customer feedback through

survey responses related to

their sales and service sat-

isfaction and overall deal-

ership experience.

This also marks the

eighth year in a row that

Lacombe Ford has been

recognized with the Presi-

dent’s Award.

“Winning it once is spe-

cial,” added Gagnon. “By

being recognized with this

consistency says a great

deal about the amazing

team that serves our cus-

tomers.”

The two top teams in the Heritage Ju-

nior Hockey League, the Blackfalds Wran-

glers and the Coaldale Copperheads, faced

off last week in a championship game that

Coaldale ultimately won.

The Copperheads fi nished the game

with a score of 4-1, after a scrappy three pe-

riods with intense participation from both

teams. Coaldale Head Coach Derek Wiest

was proud of his team.

“It’s an unbelievable feeling. These guys

battle so hard all year – it’s a much-de-

served championship. To beat a team that

had such a great record three games in a

row –it’s just an unbelievable feeling right

now and I can’t express it,” he said.

Tension was palpable in the arena and

visible amongst the players. Several fi ghts

broke out on the ice, a few penalties were

given and some aggressive checking was

put forth.

Although the Wranglers tried hard to

maintain control of the puck, they were

thwarted by the Coaldale goalie and in-

tense energy of the Copperheads.

Wiest said the championship title was a

lot of work and he truly felt his team de-

served to win.

“We always kind of build for the playoffs

all season long. We just try to play a simple

game, keeping to our structure and our

systems, and getting pucks deep. We get

on the fore-checking and just battle hard.

I thought our guys did a great job of doing

that. I’m super happy.”

As the scoreboard buzzer sounded, a

rush of cheers and release of energy was

felt throughout the arena. The Copper-

heads threw their gear about the ice in

excitement, and were eager to hoist their

championship cup.

For the Wranglers, the game had not

ended in victory but Coach Sean Neumeler

was still proud of the team and said they

would re-focus their sights on the upcom-

ing provincial tournament.

“(The Copperheads) are a great team

and we knew they were going to be tough.

We didn’t play very well the fi rst game

against them – they deserved to win that.

Down south, they won on their home ice

like they’re supposed to,” he said.

“We came back home and we played real-

ly well tonight – really well. I think we got

burned a bit and their goalie really helped

them out. That’s what happens when you

can’t score, and it was one of those nights.

I was still proud of the guys and how they

played. I really was.”

Last year the Wranglers lost the league

fi nal to the Okotoks Bisons but were still

able to proceed to provincials. Neumeler

said although the loss stings, it is nothing

to dwell on or seriously worry about be-

cause the team still has a bigger picture to

focus on – provincials.

“Provincials takes place over Easter

weekend. It’s a long tournament so we’ve

got to be ready. If you don’t win two of

your fi rst three games, you’re out,” he said.

“Those fi rst three games are huge so

we’re going to start with those and then if

we can, continue. I wouldn’t change a lot

from tonight; I just hope that we can get

through the net when we get up to Stony

Plain.”

The Wranglers fi nished the regular sea-

son with a record of 34 wins, two losses and

two ties. They were the top scoring team in

the Heritage Junior league with 70 points.

The Atom A Lacombe

Rockets have ended their

season on a high note. Af-

ter much battling and a

come back, they captured

the Atom A Tier 2 North

Central Minor Hockey As-

sociation title.

The Rockets played the

two fi nal games this past

weekend, one in Lacombe

and the other in Sundre,

and took the title.

Coach Paul Pearson said

the Rockets played this past

Friday in Lacombe and

won 4-3 in overtime. “On

Saturday we played in Sun-

dre and ended up winning

6-5 in triple overtime,” he

said. In the beginning of

league playoffs, the Rock-

ets were ranked fi rst in

the north division, but lost

to Sundre, knocking them

down in standings.

From there, the Rock-

ets edged to make a come-

back and played two

games against Maskwacis

and then won two games

against Rocky Mountain

House, which meant the

Rockets would face off

against Sundre again in the

fi nals.

“They really are a great

group of kids,” said Pear-

son, now fi nishing his fi fth

year of coaching. “The way

the other coaches and par-

ents helped out, the kids

were very fortunate to have

a good group behind them.”

After fi ve years of train-

ing and an undefeated pro-

record of 4-0, local martial

artist Austin Ryan looks to

capture his fi rst title fi ght

in a match up against Lon-

don, Ontario-based fi ghter

Malcolm ‘X’ Gordon (5-2)

this Friday night at West-

erner Park.

Ryan’s mixed martial

arts career began in 2010

after he began training in

jiu jitsu and Muay Thai at

Arashi-Do Martial Arts

studio in Red Deer.

“I started doing tourna-

ments and began taking

MMA classes and just ran

with it from there,” ex-

plained Ryan, who added

his skill level is higher now

than it’s ever been. “I re-

ally think I’ve stepped my

game up immensely since

my last fi ght - this is the

best I’ve ever been, the best

I’ve ever looked and every-

thing about it feels good.”

Red Deer had their last

taste of Ryan in September

at Havoc 6 where he faced

off against Bojan Kladnja-

kovic (2-3).

With only 15 seconds left

in the second round, Ryan

was working towards a

submission when he heard

local MMA artist Tyler Da-

vis shout from his corner

to let go of his submission

and go for an elbow.

“I landed fi ve strong el-

bows in a row then the ref

stepped in to stop it,” said

Ryan. “It’s important to

know the voices in your

corner and to trust those

people whole heartedly be-

cause when you’re in the

octagon there are a lot of

people screaming at you

and it can be hard to only

hear the voices you need

to.”

Since his last big win,

Ryan has added addition-

al training and recovery

regiments to his routine,

including strength and

endurance training with

Will Quijada out of Ab-

solute Fitness which he

hopes will allow him to

further his push into the

later rounds should his

next match go past the

second round. “Will has

really helped me with my

striking and setting up

traps so I’m excited to see

how those aspects play out

against Gordon,” adding

he has also worked on his

movement and footwork

since Havoc 6. “I know he’s

going to be a tough fi ght

but I’m expecting to have a

few edges up on him.”

Ryan stated he is excit-

ed to see where he stands

against Gordon, who

trains out of Adrenaline

Training Centre alongside

UFC vets.

Gordon recently suf-

fered a defeat at the hands

of Randy ‘Relentless’

Turner out of Ottawa last

October during the Provin-

cial Fighting Champion-

ships in Gordon’s home-

town and will likely be

eager to get another win

and defend his Havoc Fly-

weight Championship belt.

“I want to continue to

grow as a martial artist

and as a person – it’s en-

couraging to see yourself

grow as a fi ghter and con-

tinue to learn,” said Ryan.

The Ryan vs. Gordon

match up is only half of

Havoc 8’s main event shar-

ing the title with heavy

weights Grayson Wells

(0-1) and local MMA art-

ist Devon Neis (5-4) out of

Black Dragon Martial Arts

& Fitness who will also be

squaring off.

Wells and Neis last met

at Havoc 4 in January 2014

in what event organizers

called the ‘bloodiest Havoc

battle of all time’.

Bentley Generals look to hoist the Allan Cup once againBY KALISHA MENDONSALacombe Express

The Bentley Generals will once

again have a shot at glory this

year as they take on fi ve other Ca-

nadian Chinook Hockey League

teams for the 2015 Allan Cup.

The team will travel to the east

coast, arriving in Clarenville,

Newfoundland to compete for the

title of Allan Cup Champions – a

title the team has missed since

2013. Named team MVP through

playoffs Torrie Dyck spoke on

behalf of his team and said they

were all excited for the opportu-

“It’s defi nitely a very exciting

time for us. Getting out of Alberta

was our fi rst goal, but obviously

going and winning the Allan Cup

is our ultimate goal. We’re on our

way there but we know that it’s

defi nitely going to be a big chal-

lenge ahead of us,” he said.

He added through the season

the group has been working hard

to come together as a team, sup-

porting each other and sharing

strengths to make it into the run-

ning for the Cup. “We have had a

fairly good season collectively as

a team, but we have gone through

a bit of adversity that we’ve had to

battle through – injuries and guys

coming in and out of the line-up.

Our coaches and management

have done a good job of keeping

us in line in terms of working to-

wards our ultimate goal, which is

of course is the Allan Cup.”

Dyck led his team with 15

points in playoffs, with nine goals

and six assists. He achieved 20

points during this year’s regular

season and worked hard to con-

tribute to his team. He was also

one of the league’s top scorers in

the 2014/2015 season.

“This year – I don’t know if it’s

because the amount of playing

years I have left are dwindling

down – I really managed to fi nd

a lot of motivation this year, in

terms of being able to get out

and up in the games. I think be-

ing surrounded by the guys that

we have has really helped with

that and helped me fi nd a way to

be able to contribute as much as

I could.”

The Generals conquered the

Innisfail Eagles with a 4-1 lead on

March 22nd to secure their spot

in the running for the Chinook

Hockey League fi nals. Overall,

they had a solid season with 23

wins, a single loss and no tied

games. They will go on to face

the Lameque Au P’tit Mousse

New Brunswick team, the Grand

Falls/Windsor Cataracts and the

Clarenville Caribous as well as

two more yet to be decided from

the west and central divisions.

Dyck said he is looking forward

to the experience of playing for

the Allan Cup this year. “I think

we have a very solid core group

of guys. There are guys who have

been with the team for a lot of

years, and they’ve been through

this before, so I think they will

be excellent leaders heading into

Newfoundland.”

The 2015 Allan Cup round rob-

in style tournament begins on

April 13th.

ARTS & LEISUREBY MARK WEBERLacombe Express

Local singer James Andruski

reveals quite the natural knack

for putting together tunes that

tap into an array of genres on his

latest disc Anthology.

Something that really stands

out as the tunes unfold is his abil-

ity to change his vocal style to

match the sensibilities of a given

song. The disc is divided into two

parts – The Studio Sessions and

The Shed Sessions.

A couple of the tunes appear on

both parts – with of course a dif-

ferent result.

For example, the rendition of

Proud of My Wife which is fea-

tured on The Shed Sessions clips

along – driven by a simple acous-

tic guitar line – and Andruski’s

voice melds with the folk-country

nature of the tune perfectly.

“I think it’s just a feeling I get

when I sit at the amp and just

start playing,” he explains dur-

ing a recent interview. “The voice

and the guitar on The Shed Ses-

sions are more of a blend – the

feel of it is just coming out hon-

estly.”

Shelly’s Song is again built

around an engaging guitar mel-

ody, but his voice takes on more

even, clearer tones. Meanwhile,

the disc’s opening cut Get It Up

treads more into rock territory,

with Andruski again adapting his

voice to suit the energetic kick of

the song.

Blue Whisper slows things

down to a more vulnerable, re-

fl ective place. Midday Summer

Daydream – an attractive instru-

mental - is aptly named.

Andruski hails from Winnipeg

originally. There were aspects

to those formative years that

weren’t easy by any means, as

he recalls instances of teasing.

“I lived there till I was about 13

– doing pretty much what every

kid did, playing hockey, going to

school. I was kind of an introvert-

ed person – very quiet, very shy.”

He recalls blushing easily,

which in turn led to more teasing,

which heightened his embarrass-

ment during those painfully self-

conscious adolescent years.

He recalls being teased with the

Ukrainian jokes, the Polish jokes,

the blonde jokes – it just accumu-

lated. “But I also was the luckiest

guy in the world, because when I

was the shyest most introverted

guy, there’d be a couple girls at

a school dance and they’d come

and drag me onto the dance fl oor.

It got me out of my shell a bit,” he

laughs.

During those years, music also

provided a kind of comfort. He

recalls spending time in the fam-

ily’s garage working on projects

and listening to all kinds of songs

on the radio. An interest was

sparked. “You would be phoning

in requests to the stations – those

were the best times,” he adds

with a laugh.

Eventually, the family headed

west to Brandon, Manitoba.

“When I left Winnipeg at 13, I

thought, well, maybe this will be

a new start.”

Andruski, 49, continued play-

ing hockey, but soon found some-

thing else he seemed to have a

knack for – songwriting. “I wrote

a couple of tunes, and never re-

ally cared about it until I was 17.

Someone at my house found the

tape, and my girlfriend and some

of her friends were saying, ‘Who

the heck is singing on that tape?’

“I said, I think it was just me

and a buddy, so that kind of got

things going.” He had also been

taking guitar lessons since he

about 10-years-old, so that skill

was being honed while he was

fi nding his voice as well. So as he

started growing more confi dent

in his musical sensibilities, he

started playing in a few garage

bands over the years as well.

“Or we would just sit down in

the basement and play. They’d

want to play heavy metal but I

wasn’t into that. So I’d get them

to play country, or country rock.”

He eventually began a career in

construction and surveying, but

music was always a part of his life.

While attending Red River Com-

munity College, he met a fellow by

the name of Dave Gordon who was

a local DJ at the time. “He listened

to a couple of my tunes, and he re-

ally liked this Blue Whisper song.

His mom was married to a record

executive, so we proceeded to tape

it on four-track.

“She said, ‘That is one hell of

a song. You had better do some-

thing with it’.”

Life continued with a busy ca-

reer, marriage and an eventual

move with his wife Tammy to

Central Alberta in 2001. But as

already said, music was never far

from his heart and mind. There

would be times when a demo of a

song would be playing and folks

within earshot would seem to

take note.

He started singing at house

parties. “The fi rst time I played a

club was in about 1989; it was at a

songwriter’s club – one of the bet-

ter ones in Winnipeg,” he recalls.

“I had to go up before the house

band, so I had to just get into my

head – play the song and get right

into it. The whole place went qui-

et.” The chatter started up when

he was done, so he promptly per-

formed another. Things quieted

down again. Then he jammed on

Sweet Home Alabama with anoth-

er guy and had a blast. The confi -

dence continued to grow.

Meanwhile, there is nothing

like creating and performing mu-

sic to enrich a person’s life. “All

my songs are from my soul,” he

said. “That’s what so important

for me – it’s got to be the guitar,

the voice and the feeling of what

I’m going to write about.

“It’s also soothing. It has

brought me out of depression,

too.” He recalls being in his apart-

ment back in 1987 at a particu-

larly low point. “I started to sing

and play about what was bother-

ing me – I sang it out, and I felt

a lot better. If you ask me what

music does for me – it’s complete

therapy.”

For a sampling of Andruski’s

music, check out a couple of post-

ings on YouTube. His CDs are also

available at the Sound House and

David Gilmore Guitars in Red

Deer, and Lacombe Audio Video

in Lacombe.

Most don’t consider sal-

ad dressings to be sauces,

however they share the

same defi nition: a fl avour-

ful liquid that enhances

a fi nished dish. Salads do

not all necessarily share

the characteristic of being

made out of lettuce; they

do however almost always

depend upon a dressing of

one aspect or another.

Oil and vinegar is prob-

ably the most common

homemade dressing.

It can be made very sim-

ple or quite complex. The

most frequent question I

get asked, when it comes to

making this type of dress-

ing, is, ‘What oil to vinegar

ratio should I be using?’

Firstly, this depends upon

one’s tolerance and desire

for acidity. I personally pre-

fer a 2:1 ratio of oil to vin-

egar: meaning two measure-

ments of oil for every one

measurement of vinegar.

However, a 1:1, 3:1, 4:1 or

even a 5:1 ratio can func-

tion just as well, depend-

ing on one’s tastes. Lemon

juice can be used with, or

in place of, the vinegar if

desired.

The technique of mak-

ing a satisfying oil and

vinegar dressing will rely

more upon the balance of

fl avours rather than just

the ratio used. Different

fl avourings will either com-

pliment or counteract a ra-

tio, and thus it will have to

be tasted and adjusted.

All oil and vinegar dress-

ings are emulsifi ed before

serving. They can be either

temporarily emulsifi ed or

permanently emulsifi ed.

A temporary emulsion is

when the mixture is shak-

en and the oil and vinegar

is combined together tem-

porarily. Shortly thereaf-

ter, the oil and vinegar will

separate once again.

A permanent emul-

sion requires the use of

an emulsifi er, such as egg

yolk. The egg yolk particles

will coat both the oil and

vinegar particles and keep

them suspended in each

other rather than separat-

ing.

To create this, the oil

must be whisked in vigor-

ously while adding it very

slowly to the other ingre-

dients. All emulsifi cations,

whether temporary or per-

manent, always work bet-

ter at room temperature, as

oil is harder to breakdown

when it is cold.

Mayonnaise is basically

an emulsion of egg and oil.

Dressings made with may-

onnaise as a base are very

popular as well. Potato

salad is a classic example

of this. Mayonnaise howev-

er, is in need of additional

fl avours in order for it to

become a great salad dress-

ing.

Please don’t be afraid to

experiment, as some of the

best dressings come from

being creative and try-

ing something new. Most

importantly, it is a neces-

sity to taste and re-season

once the salad has been

assembled with the dress-

ing. Potatoes or pasta, for

example, on their own are

very bland. They will defi -

nitely reduce the impact of

fl avour in the dressing.

Have you ever been to a

picnic when someone has

volunteered to bring the

potato salad, and it tasted

incredibly bland? You auto-

matically think to yourself,

did they even taste this?

Salad dressings can also

be made from other ingre-

dient bases such as sour

cream or yogurt. While

these would be replace-

ments for a mayonnaise

based dressing, they lack

the richness mayonnaise

provides.

However, low or non-fat

varieties of sour cream or

yogurt would be ideal for

accommodating a lower fat

diet. Please keep in mind

these may be low in fat

and high in protein, but

may also be high in carbo-

hydrates. Therefore they

would not suit all forms of

dieting. As mentioned, the

focus, on whatever dress-

ing one is making, should

be on developing fl avour.

Dear Chef Dez:

I always have trouble

making Caesar salad dress-

ing. I always make sure

I add the oil very slowly

when combining, however

it always separates rather

than coming together to

form a nice creamy dress-

ing. I know the egg I’m

using in the recipe is sup-

posed to keep it together.

What am I doing wrong?

Leah L.Abbotsford, B.C.

Dear Leah:

Three things come to

mind immediately. One is,

as I mentioned above, to

make sure that the ingredi-

ents (especially the oil) are

as close to room tempera-

ture as possible.

Two, if the recipe calls

for the use of whole eggs,

substitute for just egg

yolks, as they are the emul-

sifying ingredients, not the

egg whites. For example,

use two egg yolks to re-

place one whole egg. Three,

add the oil in a slow stream

into the other ingredients

using a food processor,

rather than hand whisk-

ing. If your dressing still

‘breaks’ all is not lost. Take

the broken dressing out of

the processor, and puree

another egg yolk while add-

ing the broken dressing in

a slow steady stream. The

extra egg yolk should help

to emulsify it properly.

ARTS & LEISURE

Every year 650,000 North Americans

suffer a lethal stroke, or one that leads to

debilitating mental or physical problems.

The American Stroke Association (ASA)

has issued an update on how to prevent

this disaster for those who have not had a

major stroke or a mini one.

But why do university medical centers

continue to make a grievous error that

costs lives? Remember, you cannot change

your family history of stroke, or your age.

But you can change the odds, because 90%

of the factors that cause stroke are con-

trollable. So here are facts you should be

aware of.

Anticoagulants (blood thinners) to treat

A Fib, an irregular heart rate, should be

used more often, but have a high risk of

causing bleeding. Experts make no men-

tion that in some cases magnesium can of-

ten restore a heart’s rhythm. Or, Vitamin

E and an 81 milligram Aspirin daily. Both

can thin the blood with fewer complica-

tions. A Fib is associated with a four to fi ve

times increased risk of stroke.

Aspirin, the 81 milligram dose, should

be considered by patients without A Fib

but who have a high risk of stroke. This

decision must take into consideration that

Aspirin may on occasion cause gastroin-

testinal bleeding and possible death.

Diet should be low in sodium, high in

potassium along with olive oil, fresh fruits,

vegetables, fi sh, poultry, and a daily serv-

ing of nuts to keep blood pressure in check.

But we should eat less red meats, baked

goods, butter and margarine. And congrat-

ulations to the experts who have fi nally

mentioned the optional medical benefi t of

wine with meals.

Blood pressure - hypertension should be

monitored with a digital upper arm cuff, as

decreased pressure is vital in stroke pre-

vention. Anti-hypertension drugs may be

needed. LDL, the bad cholesterol, should

no longer determine whether doctors ad-

vise cholesterol-lowering-drugs (CLDs).

Rather, the decision should be made by cal-

culating a patient’s 10-year risk of stroke

or heart attack. The higher the risk, the

greater the dose of a CLD required. (Read-

ers should know I decided not to take CLD

drugs after a heart attack 17 years ago be-

cause of their side effects)

Migraine sufferers under age 55 show

increased risk of a blood clot forming.

Smoking increases that risk. But there is

debate on how to treat this condition.

Calculation of stroke risk is the newer

tool. It considers a person’s weight, age,

diet, daily exercise, whether they smoke,

use alcohol, have diabetes, hypertension

or have had a mini-stroke or auricular fi -

brillation (A Fib). These factors along with

family history provide doctors with the

information of whether patients are at low

or high risk. This allows patients to mend

bad habits before a stroke occurs.

The ASA report claims over 50% of

strokes can be avoided by losing weight,

exercising, cessation of smoking and

heavy drinking, and keeping diabetes un-

der control. This advice makes sense.

Unfortunately, the American Stroke As-

sociation and reports from Johns Hopkins

and the University of California on stroke

prevention make no mention of high doses

of Vitamin C and lysine to prevent and re-

verse atherosclerosis (hardening of arter-

ies) that cause hypertension. Powder and

capsules of this combination can be ob-

tained in Canada in Health Food stores. In

the U.S. at www.mymedi-c.com or the toll-

free number 1-844-872-0069. But it doesn’t

matter which products you take as long as

the dose is adequate.

Strokes occur because an artery in the

brain develops a blood clot or an artery

ruptures. Studies show that high doses of

Vitamin C act like Drano to keep arteries

open. You can see photos showing the dra-

matic result on my web site www.docgiff.

com. I have sent reports to university cen-

ters to request they make this information

available to doctors and the public. I be-

lieve it is unconscionable that prestigious

universities, the Canadian Medical Asso-

ciation Journal and Cardiology and Stroke

Associations continue to ignore this monu-

mental research. It will cost lives.

My home has a lovely spot in the living

area that I have recently dressed with a

charming new dining room table and side-

board.

It has been a few months since I have

been able to host dinner parties or games

night and it is such a pleasure to once

again fi ll my home with friends and family.

The only drawback is the lighting in that

room is nonexistent and while candlelight

is dreamy for a romantic dinner, it abso-

lutely doesn’t cut it when trying to play

scrabble.

I have been searching for a small table

lamp which will have a dual function both

decoratively and as lighting during those

late night scrabble games.

My ideal was a glass bowl/vase or a pa-

per lantern looking light which would look

beautiful whether or not it was illuminat-

ed. My Instagram friend yanicsimard (fol-

low him, he has many cool design ideas!)

posted a picture of a beautiful candle hold-

er made of Capiz Shells. These creamy

golden shells looked so beautiful when lit

up that I immediately started searching for

a fl oral inspired lamp made of this delight-

ful shell!

Also known as window pane oysters,

these nearly fl at shells exist around Ma-

laysia, the South China sea and the Phil-

ippines and are harvested for everything

from jewelry to the actual construction of

window panes.

The use of Capiz shell is actually a less

expensive alternative to glass and can

be dyed and cut to imitate stained glass.

The oyster meat is edible but the oysters

are mostly valued and harvested for their

shells. The shells are dyed and made into

decorative lanterns called perol which are

used in celebrating Christmas in the Phil-

ippines. When cut thin, they are the perfect

opacity to allow a soft fi ltered glow ranging

in all manner of colours.

The unaltered Capiz shell is a soft white

mixed with golden tones which perfectly

mimics candlelight which make them a

perfect choice for candle holders and lan-

terns.

The locals call it kapis and will also uti-

lize this lustrous shell for making bowls

and trays which are then sold to tourists. I

know that I have seen this product in many

homes but until the other day I did not

know what it was called or where it came

from – thank you Google!

So now I am on the hunt for lamps or

lanterns using this beautiful shell.

The light they cast is breathtaking and

soft and I think it would bring delightful

ambiance to my table. Of course, I have

been distracted by the stunning lamps

which have cascading disks freely hanging

from these fi xtures and may be tempted

to wire in a box for a centre hanging light

over the table.

It’s always such a cool thing to discover

a ‘new’ decorative element – even if it hap-

pens to be an old element.

Something that has been on my design

radar but not really in my line of sight I

am now devouring endless photos on the

Internet and completely loving the differ-

ent styles and elegant designs that are of-

fered on various items.

Capiz is a delightful natural resource

and seems like a completely sustainable

and versatile product for making many

decorative items. Try and put this lovely

shell on your design radar and if you fi nd

any local sources for Capiz items please let

me know!

NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE EVENT

TRAVELAfter a year and a half of plan-

ning and anticipation, we board

our 15-day Grand European River

Cruise! Upon our arrival in Bu-

dapest we met other couples who

were soon to be friends and fellow

travellers.

We did a three days pre-cruise

in Budapest to discover the amaz-

ing sights, sounds and lights of

both Buda and Pest and the fasci-

nating bridges that join the two.

We then boarded our long ship

and our adventure of river cruis-

ing began.

We spent the fi rst night on

board the ship in Budapest so

that we could explore parts of Bu-

dapest we had not yet ventured

to with a local guide. That night

we had a welcome reception and

dinner on board our ship before

setting sail up the Danube. See-

ing the lights of the city made the

start of our cruise all the more

exiting and surreal.

Everyday we had the excite-

ment of docking in a different

city or town for a walking tour,

excursions and new adventures

learning about the history, cul-

ture and sights. After one and a

half to two hours exploring with

a guide we would very often sit in

the town square and spend time

over snacks and beverages of the

region, while discussing what we

had just seen and experienced.

Very often others would head out

to pick up souvenirs or mementos

of their visit.

We sailed through 67 locks and

106 miles along the Danube, Main

and Rhine Rivers which was an

amazing experience. We were

able to experience the ship rising

or falling in the locks along the

waterways.

At times from our balconies we

were so close to the walls of the

locks you were able to reach out

and touch them. We were able to

see the renowned wine growing

districts of Rheinhessen, Rhe-

ingau and Franconia Regions of

Germany and the Wachau Valley

in Austria.

We had evenings of entertain-

ment onboard the ship experienc-

ing local activities, dance, artists

and crafts. Glass blowing from

Wertheim was extremely inter-

esting for me.

We purchased a couple of piec-

es that are now in our home to

enjoy. There was also a musician

on board that provided nightly

entertainment for listening and

dancing.

Budapest, Passau, Regensburg

and Nuremburg were our favou-

rite cities and towns to visit. We

preferred the small towns where

we could stroll more leisurely and

take our time without the hustle

and bustle of the large cities.

The walking tours of each

place were led by local guides

that added a personal touch to the

tour making it all the more fasci-

nating to listen to.

We were excited to hear the

largest pipe organ in Europe play

at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Pas-

sau. The organist even played Jesu

Joy of Man’s Desiring which was

played at our wedding 40 years

ago. My husband was thrilled to

see the World War II Museum in

Nuremburg which was one of his

musts.

Attending a concert in Vienna

was a highlight for me.

We found the pace and activi-

ties of the cruise perfect for us.

We could be as active or laid back

as we wanted. There were times

when a friend and I would venture

out in the afternoon on our own,

before meeting the husbands at

a specifi c destination and time

after they did their own sightsee-

ing. We even had the experience

in Vienna of taking the tube back

to the ship on our own after the

husbands returned earlier.

We spent three days post-cruise

in Amsterdam visiting the Anne

Frank Museum, the Van Gogh

Museum and doing a cruise of

the canals. We have never seen

so many bicycles in our lives!

We quickly learned they had the

right of way. We were surprised

to see bicycle parkades rather

than car parkades.

We experienced all types of

weather in early to mid-Septem-

ber from hot and sunny to cold

and wet. I was excited as it meant

shopping for warmer clothes

which I hadn’t packed and could

add to my wardrobe for home.

This was a trip of a lifetime!

We have so many experiences

and memories that we will always

cherish. Would we do another

river cruise - absolutely.

There are so many different

options and itineraries available

that we don’t know which one to

choose next.

Where do you want to travel

on your bucket list? I’m sure that

a river cruise may be just the

adventure you are looking for.

Where will it be to and where do

you want to travel to next?

Horoscope

Aries, your hard work will

fi nally come to fruition this

week. You will feel like a huge

burden has been lifted off

of your shoulders, and you

deserve to take some time off.

Taurus, don’t allow frustration

to get the better of you. A

problem you can’t seem to

solve may have you feeling

hopeless, but perseverance will

lead you to a solution.

ARIESMar 21/Apr 20

TAURUSApr 21/May 21

Others may need your help

this week, Gemini. You are

ready and willing to offer your

services and advice when they

are sought. A welcome reward

is coming to you.

Cancer, your career may

confl ict with the demands

of your relationship if you let

them. Find a balance between

the two so you can have your

cake and eat it, too.

GEMINIMay 22/Jun 21

CANCERJun 22/Jul 22

Leo, some exciting changes lie

ahead. Now is a great time to

step out of your comfort zone,

even if you are a little nervous

to take the fi rst steps.

Virgo, this week brings a

change in your life, and this

change will lead to some great

things down the road. Don’t

be embarrassed to be excited

about this new path.

LEOJul 23/Aug 23

VIRGOAug 24/Sept 22

You may feel pushed and

pulled in a number of

directions, Libra. This makes

it diffi cult to pursue your own

personal goals as a result.

Speak up if you need more

time to yourself.

Scorpio, a relatively rebellious

streak surfaces this week.

Risk-taking is at the center

of this new attitude, and you

may fi nd yourself doing a little

damage control.

LIBRASept 23/Oct 23

SCORPIOOct 24/Nov 22

Sagittarius, you may think

that the grass is greener

somewhere else, but that is

not always the case. Seek

ways to make your own grass

greener.

Experiences at home can

affect your sense of security,

Capricorn. Take the necessary

steps to feel safer. Surround

yourself with friends and family

during this time.

SAGITTARIUSNov 23/Dec 21

CAPRICORNDec 22/Jan 20

Avoid making any big

decisions this week, Aquarius.

You are preoccupied with

something else and cannot

devote enough attention to any

one task at the moment.

Some extra money

unexpectedly comes your way

this week, Pisces. Work with

a fi nancial planner for some

good ideas.
